  Speaker 4: I caught him. I was there for his first start.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: I've seen this from Sad.

  Speaker 3: It was like it was like a little kid on
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a raft with a with a you know, with the string.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: He just kind of was like pulling me aloud.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You know when I first got to the big games,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: apparently you were like an eighty six to eighty eight guy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: He a lot for you. I'm sure his first outing,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it was so fast. He walked uh Brian roberts on
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: four pitchers.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And then nig Mar KEKs got am O two and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: he threw on up and then he got a little
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: bleeder and he took him out right. But well as
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: funny as I said, you know what, the thing for me,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you never threw a slider in that whole outing. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I had no idea anything that you had because he
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: literally came from college.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: We went on each other for three minute. Yeah, They're like, hey,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: nice to meet you. What do you call if basketball slider?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He's out there going, Oh, a TI game. We brought
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: him in a.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Tie game in the eighth inning of the on the
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: road in Baltimore in his first big league out, and.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I had coffee on my jersey because I was in shambles.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I was in absolutely shambles in my Measure League debut.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: We had a lot going on. So yeah, so we
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: got through there.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: We met him pregame though, right for like a second.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Good and then on the mound you're like, hey, what
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: pitches do you have? And he was like, coffee, Jersey,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: do I have pitches yet?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: He's like touching the coffee, just making sure it's not
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: pine par So we're gonna make it crew this stream

  Speaker 4: eagle back then, so that's it was still the wild West.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you. That's so funny. Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: But then obviously what amazed me is when they said,
• 2:47

• 2:55

• 3:02
  Speaker 4: family like, hey, we're going to the Oscar again wherever
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: it is, because it literally has been every year that

• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm good enough to throw in
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the first couple of innings we got. We got some
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty big arms out there, so but I am
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I am available to throw.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I would love to throw to my catcher. But we'll see.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Many people have this problem.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I want to eat healthy.

  Speaker 5: I have the willpower, I don't have the time and
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: the organization. I need help.
• 5:50

  Speaker 2: You can't go to doc and be like, look, Doc,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I me more teammates. Wait, how does this work?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: The communication process of like, hey, I want to pitch
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and I want to be you know, in this spot
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: in the game where they just come to you with
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: everything in you're.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Just I think anytime that I've ever phwn in the game,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: they've come to us and said this is this is
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: when you're throwing other than when I started.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know, you find out you're starting obviously earlier than
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: every other inning. But they'll have like a meeting.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: They'll sit you down the poll all the pitchers in
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and say all right, you're you're throwing this inning.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You're throwing this inning.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Generally, they'll bring in relievers, Like I'm assuming they're not
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: going to have anyone out there throwing thirty five pitches
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: in an inning or anything like that, so they'll have
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: relievers kind of clean up innings. But the communications there
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: you know it's it's it's wide open Tuesday morning. Is that?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Like, when did they tell you when I haven't I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: haven't thrown in an All Star game in quite a while.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: La.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Last why I threw it was twenty routeen and that
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: was it was a couple of surgeries ago, so I did.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: There's it's been a while.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I have a question about another vat Super woild Respected
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you're in division, what did you think of the Zach
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Wheeler situation where everyone's looking like, why isn't he invited?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He's I mean, future Hall of Famer in our sport,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the whole deal. It's in Philly. He wants to be there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I know, there's like the weird rule you saw that, right,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and then eventually he does get the ask and it
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was kind of like too late.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I'm good now I feel disrespected.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Like, what's your take on all of that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I'd like to stay away from the drama as much
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: as possible, but I like Zach a lot. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I think he's he's one of the best pictures in
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: our game, you know, especially coming back from the surgery
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: he had. I mean that's you know, thorascic outlet. That's
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: not that's not a shoulder clean out. That's not that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: not even like a Tommy John Like that's a that's
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: a pretty that's a tough one to come back from. Yeah,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: And I think if you just look out the stat
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: line by itself ten and one with like a just
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: over to punch outs are there. I think the innings
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: are there. It's a head scratcher, to say the least.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I was very good.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: That's politically correct. This good job.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Put down the next layer. You know, you get to ask,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: but you can speak to this part. I mean, was
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: here Richards to pit Saturday and then he was Sunday.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It was like Sunday and he was like, but he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: made it clear, I will pitch. The whole thing is
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they don't want to ask guys you know that are replacements,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and then they come and then they can't pitch, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: then you just keep going down the line. But he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: made it clear that he was like, I'm down to pitch.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That's it's not like a rule right that says, oh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you can't pitch. So I think I.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Think you should start taking away the schedule. Don't look
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: at what like just I you know, this is the
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: All Star game. The players with the best statistics go
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to the All Star game, right, that's time it's always been,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: you know, And I think you should start maybe taking
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: away some of the other fluff stuff that. You know, Hey,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: what the numbers say. You guys been three forty in July.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Even when I start, guys got twenty five homers, even
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: when I start, guys got double digit wins. He's an
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: All Star. You know, you got twenty something says you're
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: an All Star. So, you know, some of the other
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: stuff I think can kind of water down some of
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: the other things. So I think if you look at it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I just saw it pop up on the screen, you
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: will just look at the numbers. What do the numbers say.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I don't care what the name attached to the numbers.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I don't care what the schedule attached, the team attached.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. I don't care who you're playing for,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: what your schedule looks like. Pretty damn those are pretty
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: good numbers. Yeaholds are butter with my numbers. And I'm
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: sitting here so a little bit at that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think he needs that? Do you think he
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: needs that?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I think obviously three years ago you came on the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: show and I was like, I think you're a Hall
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: of Famer and you're like a Mark Burley that whole argument.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Do you think Zach Wheeler needs a fourth of fifth
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: a sixth All Star game to be considered a Hall
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: of Famer, Because if that's the case, them not asking
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: him means a lot to the future looking at a
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: guy who should have been a hall and isn't, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: then somebody that is a Hall of Famer.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this this game is based on merit,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and and and the numbers that you put
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: up during your career is what you get judged on.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: That the accolades, the numbers, the rings, the you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: it all, it all every it's it's an.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: All encompassing thing.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: So if if at the end of his career he's
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: going to get knocked for this, then yeah, I mean,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: it's that's that's definitely kind of a black mark on
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the resume, if you will. Yeah, you know, especially especially
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: because when you're all done, when it's all said and done,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you look back and all of us get judged on
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: our numbers. I don't care if you're a first ballot
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Hall of Famer or if you played three months in
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: the Big leagues and got fourteen at bats, Like every
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: number gets looked at and it's all and and you
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: get judged based on those numbers and the accolades.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: So again, it's just kind of a tough situation.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: The game when you started the other year, So now
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it's been eight years since you've been out on the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: mound for an All Star game. Damn, when you started
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the other year, you kicked it into another gear. Do
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you still have that gear? When we see you coming
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: out where you go it's an All Star gamer, I got,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: I got a couple extra days off.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Do you have that gear?
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Because I distinctly remember that playing during that time and
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: then watching you do that and knowing what you normally
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: throw in a normal start, and then you came out
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and you were, like you impressed so many people in
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the game, not even talking about fans out of the game.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Do you still have that gear? I don't.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know if Alex is gonna like men going
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: into that gear, so you have it. I like to
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: think that I always have a little bit of an
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: extra gear, especially you know, when my bag gets against
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the wall. I like to think I have, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: a trick up my sleeve. Whether that's a little bit
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: more about it on the break ball or a little
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: bit extra hump on the fastball.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: But I don't know that's I think that's more of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a game time decision.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Did you have that in the World Series for the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Red Sox And I don't remember now, right because you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Close out the World Series? What was the stuff Downside's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the starter stuff? Yeah?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I think it's different when you're coming
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: out of the bullpen, like you know, as a starter,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it's hard, sir. It's hard to redline for one hundred pitches.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I think that's how I got that. So you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: when you're in the burdpen, you're covering you know, obviously
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: less innings. You got, you know, fifteen to twenty five pitches,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: So I think it's a little bit easier to kind
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: of empty the tank, you know, covering one inning as
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: opposed to you know, six to nine inning.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: Big second half of the season coming up, there might
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: be a hot ticket, a rivalry series, a sold out
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: experience they need to get your hands on, and Seekeeek
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: is the spot for that. You can find good, good pricing.
• 14:01

• 15:12
  Speaker 3: They did their owners knocking down.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: There was this swing off last year.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think I think there'd be would be
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: about thirty gms that that like fonts a knee with
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: like heart. Yeah, there's a lot of blood pressure medicine
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: getting passed out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: But what if they okay, whatever and you didn't pitched,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: and Docs like, you know what, Chris, let's have some fun.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: You go pitch the knife. What would it be different
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And starting he wants the closer entrance, that's all he want.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: To Mason Miller entrance.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: By the way, if he's out there and I'm getting
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: to say, there's if something is going way off, Yeah,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: if Miller is not closing that game out with something,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: there's an Earth or something.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hypothetical, though, would.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: You do it?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I would do it. Would it be like, man,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: this is like fifteen years ago, back in the day.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I did have a lot of fun pitching in the bullpen.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: It was one of I don't know if you remember
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: this too, Like when I got drafted, they were like, Hey,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: we're going to get you the big big leagues, click,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: but we're going to have you pitch out of the bullpen.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in. It's fine. What U so first got
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to sign.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: They're like, we can't give me any more money, but
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: you're going to be in the big leagues at the
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: end of the year.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I'm in. Going into that offseason, they told me I
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: was going to be a starter.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: So I showed up in twenty eleven prepared to be
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: a starter, and I think it was like the first
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: couple of days of.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Spring training, they're like, hey, you're gonna be back in
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: the bullpen.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And I was kind of excited because I I love
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that instant shot with adrenaline. I mean, it's it's you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: as a starter, you kind of create your own nets,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: you know, and you know when you're pitching out of
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the bullpen and you're coming in there's a guy on
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: second base and nobody out and it's crunch time in
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the game. You're in the sixth inning, the seventh inning,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the eighth inning, sometimes even the ninth inning, and that
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: instant shot of adrenaline is that. I mean, it's unmatched.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: So not not saying that I would like to do
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: it full time again, but I did. I did enjoy
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: pitching out of the Don.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Cooper's still mad at you for blowing that game the
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: last game of the year against Toronto.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I messed up with Manageria defeated.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can live the game in the ninth well,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: because he he do it what he probably has what.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Four games or three or four games something like that,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: two and and then we get to the ninth we
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: have like a two run league. Last game they were
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: bringing Sia cost games over. I don't know how.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It just just dribbled down my leg, rub my undefeated record,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: all about Coop. Yeah, ruled our fourth place finish exactly.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think we talked about this.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I tell the story to people, but they asked you
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: about I said, when you it was twenty twelve, and
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: they told me Chris Sale gets twenty five sliders for
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the game in Seattle and you were just rolling at
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: the time like he was rolling, And I'm like, but
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: that's his best pitch and you're like, no, we gotta
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: be careful. He's throwing too many sliders. Like do you
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: want to get the guys out or do you want
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: him to out their sliders? They're like no, So I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: had to have sunflower season. I was flipping him every
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: time and then I ran out. We're like in the
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: fifth inning and he's cruising.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: So I go in the day. I'm like, can I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: throw some more sliders?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: How mean? I'm like, I'm out, there's five more, one
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: more inning. I don't remember you kidding me? Well, if
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you remember, so I pitched. So I pitched through April.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: We get to like the beginning of May, and I
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: went to like go dry my hair off out of
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the shower and my arm was just killing me. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I remember saying something and we we went down on MRI.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: It was like a like a light flexistrain or whatever.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, you're gonna go back to the.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Bullpen, all right, not THEE, not the not the d
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: L at the time, to the bullpenn just an idea
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: of like guys staying healthy and.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Not saying herm schnyder oh man.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: But I remember, I remember the guys I remember some
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: guys coming up to me and they're like, don't let
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: that happen, Like you need to be a starter, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: they're there are guys that like I looked up to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: my like my veterans.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: When I when I was a young guy, and.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: They're like, you know, because I actually pitched well as
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: a starter. It just I kind of ran into a
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: little on problem like fatigue or whatever. And you know
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: as a first year as a starter, you're gonna kind
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: of run into those things. And I remember like fleeting
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: my case and it got somewhat animated, and I remember, uh,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: we get back to back to Chicago, and I was
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: able to kind of slide my way back into the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: into the rotation. So but it was after that they
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: were like, all right, we got a month into the season.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: This guy has already kind of had like a little
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: you know, bump in the road. Let's let's try to
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: take care of them. So yeah, as count now, some
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I seems to throw the blow like like one we
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: got eighteen.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, you've told you've told the story, but it
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: is tremendous hearing it from yourself of it because it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: always backstory too.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: That's so awesome, and it forced me to kind of
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: use my other pitches. I remember, you know, was a
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: big fan of They called it the BP fastball. Uh
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: you know, oh, oh, just kind of flip a sinker
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: in there at like eighty nine, ninety ninety one. You
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: remember Verlander, You start games like that, twenty eleven Verlander.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know, pitch one thirty five was one
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: hundred and two, but like pitch one of the game
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: was like ninety two, and we'd kind of just cruise.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And then when he needed it, oh it was there.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Scooples just dead. The other day, he actually hit j.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: T Romuto. So yesterday it was a two strike pitch
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and he hit him in ninety eight.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Scott, who swings at like one first pitch ever, he
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: just threw him ninety four right down the middle. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I was telling my sons, I'm like, he knows he's
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: not swinging if he does. No way, he's geared down
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: for ninety four. He's geared up from ninety eight one hundred.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: People's VP fastball a little bit different than most. I mean,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: come on, come on, you're you're right there. Actually he
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: actually still has to catch it. I'm going to put
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: that out there.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yeahs to catch it. Someone who's drug tests this guy. Actually,
• 21:16
