  Speaker 2: Man, I heard somebody in the stands yesterday say the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: real Max Mounsey, which made that made me feel a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: certain way. I'm not saying there is a real one
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and a fake one, but you know, we'll get to that.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And uh but in my book, you're you're You're the
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: first and the real Max Monsey.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: So I just want you to know that.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I'm only like thirteen years older than the other one. So, man,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know which one is the real one if
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'm that much older.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: All right, So we have a game called Make the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Call Joe Adell, Ryan O'Hearn. They played. They both got three, right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: So what it is right now is we, uh, first,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: before we get into the game, do you like the abs?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I think I do. I haven't.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't really challenged.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I want to challenge four times this year. It's been
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the exact same pitch all four times. It's all down
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and a way on like a.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Break and ball.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And you what's your percentage? I'm two and two, so
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: fifty that's like, yeah, that's normal. That's about right. So Joe, Adelle,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Ryan O'Hearn, they both got three of these. Right, You're
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: going to look at these pitches and guess and if
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you get it wrong, I have some questions here that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you got to answer. So your goal is to get
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: at least four bro, all right, strike strike, all right,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: let's see what it is fall all right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Question one, what was one postseason series you thought you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: were going to lose but ended up winning. I mean
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: probably the probably the Padres in twenty four Okay, yeah,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you know after we went down to one and Freddy's out, Yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: we're going bullpen game.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's an easy one. And then and.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Then yeah, we figured out a way that was that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: was a lot. That was really a lot for the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: boys too. That that was a lot for us to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: string together. But we did it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you show up to the field and then
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you find out Freddy's not playing. Yeah, elimination game. We
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: don't have a starting pitcher.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Really, I mean that in all honesty, that mindset kind
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of helped us because we were just like, all right, well,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: we had nothing to lose, and it was like, yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's just go see what happens, and then
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: ended up working it did all right. So pitch two,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say strike because you're trying to trick me
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: with missing the catcher spot here.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's see it. You got to get all the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: rest of it, right, bro.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Just even tie?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: All right, you have a fear of needles? Would you
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: rather take a needle or get hit by a Jacob
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Mizerowski fastball?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Fastball?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Fastball yourself? You're wait, you don't like needles at all?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: No, so you know what, I used to not be
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: bad about it. And then my first spring training with
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Oakland on the minor league side, there's like one hundred
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and fifty guys, right you're you're all getting blood drawn.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: For your physicals.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: So they had a bunch of interns in there. The
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: guy doing my blood draw missed my vein like six times.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I passed out.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh you passed out?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, woke up on the ground like thirty people
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: staring over me, players all laughing at me like, oh,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: like dang, you passed, you know, and like ever since then,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it's just it's been you know, I've gotten slowly better
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: about it, but.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still taking the fastball.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Did you know you're about to pass out?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: No, it's because because I had done blood blood before
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and it had never been an issue. Just for whatever,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I think the guy just kept missing me and I
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: each one kept hurting more and more like he was
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: getting a little aggressive about it, like he was getting frustrated.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And then it just got to a point where I'd
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: had enough.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And so see you, I've never passed out, so like
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you don't you did. It wasn't like, oh I'm about
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to pass out out of there or was it? Like
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: how was it? It just happened?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it was just you kind of just feel
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: like light like dizziness, lightheaded this coming on, and then
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like when you pass out, you kind of you feel
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: like you've been gone for like a year, Like you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: kind of wake up and you're like how did I
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: How did I get here? Like because you end up
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: having like a dream kind of when you're pasted. I
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: don't remember what that one was but like you end
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: up having like this memory or something and then you
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: wake up and then like it all comes back to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh dang, I was getting.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: My blood drawn.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: It passed out like so it's yeah, not a great experience.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And ever since then, needles have been a huge fear
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: of mine. And it's a it is, it is what
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: it is. Okay, Pitch three, I'm just gonna say strike.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I've been saying strike.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it. I mean live and die by it. There,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: there we go, There we go, there we go. The
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: uh these are all tough. These are they're they're tough. Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Pitch four.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Oh mm hmm. Picture challenged that one too. Yeah, I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: gonna say ball because the picture challenged it. And oh
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: yeah that's that's a fact. So I'm gonna say ball. Yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: good for you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Pictures are right. Yeah, the pictures are always wrong. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why. Maybe just the perspective from the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: other side.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Have you ever stood on the mound? Nah?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid, there was a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: tournament that if you ran across the mound, you had
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to pitch like you like, if you ran on the mound,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you had to pitch, and so one of my boys,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he was running the third base and ran across the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: mound and they made him end up pitching. And he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: was terrible. I mean, he wasn't. He wasn't a good picture.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But anyways, uh So now I I think it just
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: kind of stuck with me. I will not run on
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: top of the mound. I always run around it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I had a couple of innings in triple A and
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I remember that plate, like you throw pitches and you
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you just be like, that's that's definitely a strike. Like
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: you just think you think everything's going over that plate.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's so it's just perspective.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a perspective thing. So they need to know
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: not to challenge. All Right, pitch five, I'm gonna say
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: strike on that one. I'm gonna say strike.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Good for you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: At least we tied it. Yeah, we tied it, all right,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So that's that. I mean, it seems like three is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the the average. I guess, well, all three of them
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: got three, so I guess the three is average.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: So I was also trying to pay attention to who
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: was in those videos, Like I said, the one the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: picture challenged, I know Cabro has been challenging a ton, Okay,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: but I don't think he's been that successful with it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: So that's why I was just going off off who
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: was in the video?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so let's switch gears a little bit.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: This year.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: We started off you well, especially you, you started off really well.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I mean really, we've been playing well. We've got a
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: lot of the same guys, right, What do you think
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: makes this team a little different than the last couple
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of years.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I think our age and our experience.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Like, I know, it's a weird thing to say, but like, uh,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you know, we've got so many guys that have been
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: around the block enough that like when you show up
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to the field, you never know what you're gonna You
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: just know it's gonna be fun. Yeah, Like it's fun
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: to show up to the field because you never know
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: what Freddy's going to bring in, what You're going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: bring in, what Miggey Ro's going to bring in, Like
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: you know, you just you don't you don't know what
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the guys are gonna bring. But everyone does something every
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: single day to try to make it fun because we
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: all understand, you know, this is a long eight months. Yeah,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you know, two's a lot of games to play, and uh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: you know, that's kind of been our identity over the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: last several years. Like each year, even though it's the
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: same guys, the club takes on a different like identity.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: But and then at the same time, it's kind of
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the same because it's just us being a bunch of
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: clowns out there.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's really That's really what I've kind of seen, is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: like we just I think we're just getting better and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: better at figuring out how to play one sixty two. Yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and a good positive mindset, you know what I'm saying.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're definitely you know, and again this is I
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: feel like this is something you only learn with experience.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: You know, you have to go through it and experience
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it in order to know how to do with it. Yeah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and you know, we've all just gotten so much better
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: at that and understanding every single day it's just a grind.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: It is a grind, but you got to find a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: way to enjoy it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: But also, every single day is a new day, So
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you have three home runs with
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: three strikeouts. You got to show up the next day
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and do it again.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I love is like whether you got three
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: hits yesterday or no hits yesterday, we all understand, like
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. We're just going to focus on winning
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: today and then whoever does well today, because it's really
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it really moves like there's been times where you will
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: go go off for three or four games or two
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: games or a week however long, right, and then you're
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: kind of careing the offense and then let's say, then
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you may hit a little scuffle, but then somebody else
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: is doing it. But while somebody else is doing it,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you're not tripping.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You're just like.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Not you per se, but like you know, whoever it
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: is is not tripping because we know, oh, at some
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: point it's going to be our turn. And then but
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: right now, ride whoever's way you know we're doing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: We do a really good job of that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, it's again, I think that's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: just the age and experience on our team. Like if
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: we were a bunch of young guys, I don't know
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: if we would have that same perspective because we haven't
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: been through it and haven't.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Been through it back in twenty four we started being
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a lot more intentional about spending time together. I feel
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: like this year, we haven't gotten to spend as much
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: time together, but I think at the field, wep, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: spend more time together, if that makes sense.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And part of that, I feel like
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: part of that is just how we've the way that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: we've changed how we travel, you know, with doing the
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: two planes and everything now, because before it used to
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: be we'd get in and everyone goes to a team dinner.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: That's because we never flew after the game. We always
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: flew the next day on the off day, so we
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: always got into a city six o'clock at night, go
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: do a dinner, hang out with each other. Now we
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: fly the night before, which is something that we hadn't
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: done ever since I had been here.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And we're getting it getting in it one in the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: morning or.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: So you're you're not doing you're not doing anything at
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: two three in the morning. Guys want to go to sleep,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and then it's tough to get people together on the
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: off day when they're having the full off date of themselves.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But I do feel like because of that, we do
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: spend more time together at the field.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Our bus rides are man, we love our bus ride.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It's you.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It's hard to top those. Anytime we get on the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: bus for more, it's almost like a disservice getting on
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the bus less than like ten, ten, fifteen minutes because
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: we don't have enough time to really enjoy it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, those get a little doesn't get a little
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: out of it. Sometimes it's good though, it's good. It's good.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: It's good for some of the guys to experience that thing,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: you know, they I think that helps them change.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Who they are for sure, for sure and keeps our
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: culture going. So right now, obviously we've been playing well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: We got a little a little lead in our division,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: but obviously it's a long season. We have to continue
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to play, uh to put to play well. What do
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: you think will help us stay consistent as we keep going.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I think if just us trying to find a way
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to stay healthy. I mean, look, it's again, we've been
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: through it one sixty two. You're gonna have your ups,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have your downs. But it's easier to go
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: through all of that when you have your guys. You know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: when you got guys filling in and you know, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: then our young guys are amazing, you know, the guys
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: that have come up and filled the roles. They've done
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: an amazing jo. You look what Ryan Ward did for
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: us for you know, a couple of weeks. They're really
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: really good job. But when you have your guys, it
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: just kind of makes makes it easier to go through
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: those roles, and you know, you don't feel you feel
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: like you're just showing doing up, showing up every single
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: day and just doing the.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Job and doing what you need to do, you know.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And I think.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: For us, just being healthy is the key to us
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: continuing to dominate.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I would say the exact same thing.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, health is as wealth at this point, especially
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: for us, I mean, because we got the guys that
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: we got. When we're healthy, is you know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's tough.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Not on paper, you're not beating it. Yeah, it's but again,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like you look at how many guys we got on
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: the aisle right now, and you know some of the studying, pitching,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: pitching we got on the ale and you know, Kik
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: and Will and all these guys, and so just you know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it'd be nice to get them all back at once,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: but at the same time, we don't need them back
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: into October.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So you know, which is the beauty, which is the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: beau that's the beautiful thing about being a Dodger. So
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I want to talk a little bit about show Hey Yoshi,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: how they've been doing this year pitching wise, and really
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you can throw Robo in there as well. They've really
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: every every five days. From my perspective, when I when
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: one of them take them ount, it's like, I'm not
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: saying it's a guaranteed win, but I am saying, like,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: if we can just figure out a way to score
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: like four or five three four, that gives us a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: real chance at it. And really seeing show Hay this year,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: his mindset on it on pitching is really neat for me.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: What about for you?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: It's been really fun to watch. And you know, I
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: think you would agree with this statement that show Hay
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: likes to hit.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But he loves to think. He loves the pitch.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like he loves everything about pitching. He likes working
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: at it, he likes talking about it, he likes scouting
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You know when it comes to hitting, you know, I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: always laugh at our hitters in the middle.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Middle Yeah, yeah, what are you looking for to the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: middle middle? Yeah?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, hitting just comes easy to him.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: He just does it, which is crazy to say.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like pitching easy. Like pitching.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: You see him out there every single day doing bullpens
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and working on his mechanics and working on throwing, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it's like the amount of work he puts in at pitching,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I almost feel like if he did that for hitting,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: he'd be you know, he was out there and sixty
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: home runs. But you know, it's just uh yeah, it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: just insane to watch him do what he does every
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: single day.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: What's cool is to see like well for me, is
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: to see like his the personality difference. Like when he hits,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: he's just a normal guy. You can talk to him.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: It's happy, go lucky, have you go lucky. But when
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: he pitches, it's like a completely killer. Yeah, he turns
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: into a killer out.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Man, there's don't don't talk. Don't talk to him, you know,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: don't don't get in his way, don't mess him up. Yeah,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: let him do his thing, make the place behind him.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But don't you know, hey, don't goof off around him.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, you don't like none of that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Dead serious. But then when he's hitting, he's goofing off.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's just weird to see. But
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, hey, I guess it is what
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: it is. And then Yoshi obviously as much as he
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: pitched last year, right, I think he had a pretty
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I think he was healthy all year last year, then
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: pitched what he did in the postseason, and then to
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: now come around and do what he's doing now, it's like,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen anybody stay healthy and
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: be as good for this long.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I agree, but I'm also not surprised when I see
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: what he does every single day. Yeah, that's that's fair.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: You know if you saw his routine doing handstands.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Getting through the straws, yeah, the.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Stuff that since they got him doing, He's like, yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you've been doing some of that too.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I've been doing some since a Yeah, I have been
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: doing some.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Since we saw We saw him on your shoulders and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: spring training. You know, we all loved that one.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: That was good. That was good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like since he's awesome man, he's done amazing
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: for for Yoshi. So uh, I'm trying to do it
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to help me stay a little bit.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: You know, when you look at Yoshi, there's not the
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: amount of work is second to none, but almost none
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: of it is like weightlifting stuff No, it's none of
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: That's that's what's crazy about it. It's all the stuff
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: that Sense has him doing. It's all balanced and you know.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Core, it's like finding your inner your inner like your
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: inner core muscles and like really using your body.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing that's insane is he's putting in
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: more work than anybody and none of it involves touching away.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is I mean, good for him. And then
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: obviously Robo. I think for like seeing Robo last year
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: coming out of the bullpen, he did great. Yeah, when
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: he pegedbacks, he did great. When he come in for
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: one inning, he did great. And then now seeing him
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: as a starter, I wasn't fully sure. I'm not saying
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: anything negative, but I was like, I don't know how
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: he'll be as a starter, And this dude has been.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Awesome for me.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I think he had to find a way to translate
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: his mindset from coming out of the pen to being
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: a starter, because his mindset coming out of the pen
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: is what you're seeing right now, the way he pitches
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: right now. But you know before that, when he was
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a starter, I don't think his mindset was the same
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: because you know, he did the thing where you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the first pitch would be ninety two, then he'd be
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: ninety two, and then there's two strikes, and then here's
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: ninety seven. And you know when he came out of
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the pen, he was just letting it loose every single
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you know, from what I've seen this year, that's what
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: he's been doing right out of the gate. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: there's still some times where he might, you know, take
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: a little off here and there and save some but
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: from what I've seen from him, he's just had that
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: mindset that I'm gonna attack you. You know, I'm attack
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: every single battery right out of the gate, and I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: not going to let off the gas. And you know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: he's got the stuff to be able to do that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: And sometimes when you have that stuff, you have to
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: have the mindset that back it up.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And I agree, I think they match. I think that's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what he's found.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: He gets up he and I see him now and
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you do as well. Like I see him study,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I see him doing all the things that he needs
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to do to be successful.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Prior to Yeah, he puts in the work.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now when he gets up there, you can
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: see his confidence. You can see how much he competes,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and to your point, he has the stuff to do
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: it match with the mindset, and so this isn't luck.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is like Robo is a really good,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: brilliant pitch.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing about this that is luck. Like you said,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: him putting in the work, doing the scouting and everything.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Like I love seeing that from like an offensive player
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: because I feel like we sit there and we do
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: so much scouting and video, you know, looking at video
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: about the opposing picture, and then I feel like I
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: feel like they're just like, okay, all right.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: About that picture, like you know, it doesn't mark. And
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: so I love to see.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Our pictures put in that kind of work and do
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: their homework on what pitch can I throw to certain guys?
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: What zones can I attack?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I like seeing the picture put in that kind of
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: work and you see the results when they do that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So I want to switch gears a little bit.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about some of the new guys
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you mentioned. Awardoh, he came up while Teo was down,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: did an amazing job, made some nice plays, which was huge, right,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: because a lot of these guys when they come up
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: or come in, I don't think they realize how much
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: we pay attention to defense. You know, like we really
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: do care about hitting, and we want guys to hit
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: all so this stuff, but we pay a lot of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: attention to defense, and I feel like that's kind of
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that that's really what helps us.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Lots of World did an amazing.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Job with that, on top of hitting Tuck coming in.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: This is his first year. What you got on Tuck.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I can't think of Tuck without thinking of Mickey rocking
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: him drunk.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Tuck in the outfield, you know, just the way he
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: catches the bottle.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I just you know, he catches everything.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Though he catches everything, nothing gets by him, and you
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: know it doesn't always look pretty, but he he.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He's Yeah, he's all.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I love when he tosses the ball back in and
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Niggi's doing the same thing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But no, I think Tuck's.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he's a great player. I think
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: he's obviously kind of going through it a little bit
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: right now, but you know, we all love him well.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I want him to do well, and I think he's
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: gonna find his way. Yeah, you know, his first year,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: new team, big contract, a lot pressure on him. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: think he's feeling it a little bit. Yeah, but you know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be fine.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: The reason why I think he'll get is because I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: really believe that even though there's pressure on the outside,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: on the outside, I don't really feel like there's any
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: real pressure on him. And I think that he will
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: get it just because as we go through some of
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: these pressure games then big games, he won't have to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: feel like he has to do it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Because we all do you know, Yeah, none of this
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: is resting on his shoulders, you know, and we split that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We split that pretty evenly in all of us.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, I think the other thing for
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: him too, And you know, I don't know if he
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: will admit this or not, but the first year with
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: a baby, oh.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking about it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, that can change things a lot.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: You know, that's a we can speak from experience on
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: that that can change things a lot. And so I think,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you know, he's he's figuring out how to be bad
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: at home, you know, and be this base player also,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: and that's a lot of stress to that. I just
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: don't think people realize gets put on us.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's another hat we got
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to put on because we all want to be the
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: best baseball player we can be, but we want to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: be a better dad.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And so it's that's it's a lot of pressure.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It's like your priorities. I'm not saying they yeah, they
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: shift a little bit. I mean they definitely, you know
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: they It kind of is what it is, I mean,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: being a dad, and it almost like it takes over.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: It.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: It really kind of takes over because baseball is like
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: really your baby. Like I remember getting to the field
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: early all the time. I mean, everything was baseball all day,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: every day. And now that you have kids, it's like, well,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: baseball has to go to the side. Why you're at
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: home because you don't want to.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: You can't carry what Yeah, you can't carry over what
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: happens at the field.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: To the home.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not fair to them.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: It's not fair of the kids, not fair to your wife.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: And you know it just whether you have a good
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: game or bad game, you can't that home. You know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: you have to find a way to separate the two.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Doesn't mean you can't think about them, but like you have.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: To find a way to separate the two.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: And so when you get home, you got to be dad,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you got to be a husband, You got to be nothing.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: That the field can carry over to what's going on
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: at home.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, just like you said, it's not fair to
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: them and you want them to have the best upbringing
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: they can possibly have, and you know that can't happen
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: if you're not fully engaged when you're there exactly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: So, I do want to ask you, is it different
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: for you to be hitting seventh? You know, you've hit
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: seventh a couple of times in the lineup, especially when
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: everybody's in and you're leading I think you're leading third
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: basement in votes in the All Star or whatever, like.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Is that is it different for you?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Because like for you, you be hitting third, second, third, fourth,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and any other team really, you know.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: With our team, it doesn't really matter. Yeah, it's you
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: know because you know, from a I guess from like
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: a selfish standpoint, you want to hit in certain spots
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: because you want opportunities to you know, you want to
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the drive guys in. You want, But honestly, like with
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: our lineup, it doesn't matter. You're gonna get the opportunity
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: regard if you're hitting first, ninth, fifth, eighth, it doesn't
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. You're gonna have opportunities to drive runs in,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have opportunities.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: To get big hits. If I'm being totally honest.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: When you beat, when you and this is something I
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: never realized because, like you said, I'd always hit more
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: middle of the order, top of the order. When you
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: bat down at the bottom, you don't get as many
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: at bats per game. So if you get that one
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: for three or for me, you know, you know me
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: because I walk. If you get that one for two
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and you have to walk, your numbers look a lot better.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Get five at bats six at bats a game.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: But what us But with us, though you are getting
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you probably are getting.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still getting six.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but I do batting fourth, it's different because
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: there are times when I do get that one for
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: three and you know, you know, or one for throo
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: of the walk or whatever. But when you're leading off
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: bat and second, which we've done together, like you're constantly
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: getting five six at bats when you're going through it
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: like it tanks and.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: In our order, you always feel like you always feel
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: like you're getting your stuff on to get ready to hit.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Wait like that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: That's one thing I remember when you bat second third,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you like you just feel like you're always putting your
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: stuff on to get ready to hit it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It comes up quick, which is good. That's good. It's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: not a bad thing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, And I also want to talk about
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Russia a little bit. I know Rush, it's it's a
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: lot for him seeing Smitty not there. I think we
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I I in specific, took for granted how much he
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: he uh carried for us on the pitching side, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: now seeing Rush kind of going through it and seeing
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: like how hard it is for him and how he's
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: stepping up and he is, He's doing his best. Like
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: he's from he needs experience, right, and this is this
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: is the experience. And I feel like he's learning on
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the fly. He is getting better. He's getting better, and
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it takes a little time, right, But you know, seeing
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: not having Smitty and seeing what he did on the
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: for the pitching staff on top of hitting, makes me
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: really appreciate. Wow, Will Smith really does do a lot
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: for us, and now having Rush try and step in
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: and do that that's really hard for him, especially being
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a rookie.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start by saying Rush is doing an amazing job.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: He's doing an amazing he's an amazing job.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: But like you said, it does make you appreciate exactly
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: what Will does.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And you know, Will was the same when he was
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: at that stage.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Ye Will had to learn and you know, Will had
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: to learn with Kersh, you know.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Which is much tougher, a little bit tougher.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean, you know, and I think, but
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I also think that's one of the things that was
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: good for for Will. And I think, you know, you
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: look at what Rush is doing with shohe and with Yama,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: like it's good for him to understand. And you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: we talked about this in the endfield all the time,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: like why we call in certain pitches and his situations
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: and you know, not that we're second guessing anybody, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you just you start getting this feel for the game
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: that I think Russia is still learning. You know, sometimes
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: it's okay to get away from what the sheet is
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: telling you, you know it. And that was the thing
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: that I think Will learned with Curse a lot, because
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, what's Kurse throwing. He's throwing a fastball slider and.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to be into right handed better mm hm.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of times when will look at
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: the sheet and be like, well, we can't throw a
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: slider to this guy. He hits it, and it's like,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: that's what Kursh is going to throw.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: That's his best pitch. He needs to throw it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: And I think that helped will learn sometimes it's okay
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: to go off script and you know, do things that
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: maybe the data says is not what you should do.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: And I think, you know, that's one thing that I
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: that we weird agree Russia's learning, especially with show Hey,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Show Hey wants to throw certain pitches and certain locations
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: and maybe the data says that's not the best thing
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to do. But you know, when the picture is convicted
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: and doing that, you have to go off what the
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: picture wants, especially when it's a guy like show Hey Yama,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I mean really everybody in a staff.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point, you know, he'll be when Snell
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: and all these guys get back, Like, he'll be catching
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: all these those guys and like.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You know, there's times where hey, that's probably not the
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: pitch you should throw, but that's what the picture really
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: wants to throw, and so you got to let him
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: do it, and you got to make sure you're behind
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: them and you know, I think that's that's one of
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the things that Russia is learning and it's Yeah, it
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: does make you appreciate Will because Will's grown so much
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: in that aspect of it that you know, there's no
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: second guessing what he's calling back there, and the pictures
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: have given full trust to Will, and you know, I
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: feel like Will's hardly ever shaken off, like yeah, it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: very very few times, and you know, you go to Will.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: One of the things I love when when Yama's pitching
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: and you know, I know you've seen this, Yama goes
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: to his Pitchcolm right, and he'll call pitch and he
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: looks at Will and he's like, yeah, he wants to
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: make sure Will thinks it's a good picture to throw.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: But and then that's where Will is like, if that's
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: what you want to throw, then yes, yeah, sure that's
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: the best picture.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Sure for sure, I knew. And then I know, I
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: want to speak a little bit about that the situation
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota with with Rush and show Hey, obviously we
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: all you know, everybody kind of saw it. That was
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: that was really kind of a I feel like a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: huge moment for Rush there when they go down and
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and whatnot. You know, we got to go down and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: look at me and you damn man, we're just being nosy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: What you'all doing?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's what I was being nosy?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I was really just kind of seeing how
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: this is going to play out, you know, like what
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was what was possibly going to be said.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I think it was a good I think it was
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a good drawing moment. Yeah, for sure.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously you don't want any of that to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: happen with your teammates, But I think it's a good
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: growing moment for both guys because you know, Show's not
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: always gonna be able to throw to Will and you know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: for Rush, he's got to learn that there's and this
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: is one of those moments where it was like, hey,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: sometimes Show wants to throw a pitch that maybe isn't
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the best pitch to throw. And I think that's what
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Rush was kind of learning in that moment. You know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: sometimes things can speed up during the game, and I
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: think that's a little bit what happened there. And again,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: like we've said before, that's experienced that you just you
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: learn how to deal with that, right the more you've
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: been in those types of situations.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And what I What I really enjoyed was like how
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Rush later on took took accountability and he knows, he
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: knows he he knows that he has a lot on
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: his plate. Hey, he really knows it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: You're you're the catcher for a staff that's you know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: first in baseball for a lot of categories. So you know, yeah,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: that's a lot on your plate. And he's done an
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: amazing job handling it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: He's done, He's done a great job handling and handling it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And I think, uh, you know, he'll he'll just keep learning,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: He'll just keep learning, and then as sweet he comes back,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll learn even quicker.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Look, not one of us knew how to handle that
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: situation at that stage.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: No, No, we all had to learn. Yeah, everybody does.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I mean how many times?
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: How many times were you peeking around the corner and
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: I was breaking a bat down in the tunnel or something.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You know, which I love, by the way, I love that,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But you know, like we've all been we've all been there.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: You have to learn, you have to grow, and you
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: can't do that until you've experienced it. And you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: that's just that's what he's going through with exactly.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: So I want to talk a little about a little
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: bit about you know, pursuing the three p Obviously everyone
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: knows that. What do you think we really need to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: do to uh, to get there?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: We just keep doing something we've been doing, and it's
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: you know, for us again, we show up every single day.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: We we don't let anything carry over from previous days,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: except for on the bus. You know, everything's fair game
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: on the bus. But like in terms of the game,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: we don't let anything carry over from previous days. Whether
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: you've had three home runs, three strikeouts, ten punch outs,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: no punch outs, you know, you made three errors, you
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: made three diving plays, Like, nothing carries over to the
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: next day. You show up every single day, you do
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: your routine, You got to work, you're oh for roh,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: you got to go out there and play that game.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: And we do such a good job of Like that's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: all we focus on, is all right, what are we
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: doing today to win this game?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know we're facing you know, facing again today
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: and you know what are we going to do to
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: beat him? Well, then now we're going to face whoever tomorrow,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Like we don't know who are facing tomorrow. We don't
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: care until it's tomorrow and then we face that guy
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: and then you know, every day you show up with
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: that kind of attitude, in that mindset, and you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: we've done that the last several years, and it's it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: that's kind of been what's gotten us over that hump,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: and you know, we just got to keep doing that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I think, do you think there's a difference in energy
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: this year than than other, like nervous energy? For me,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: don't I think that the energy is we don't even
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: think about three Peter or any of that. I think
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: we're just thinking about to your point, like one game
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: at a time, and then eventually we'll get there.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: You know what I think honestly, we got a bunch
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: of guys that we're getting old, and I think some
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: of us are starting to see that light at the
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: end of the tunnel. And so I think I think
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: we've got a bunch of guys that are trying to
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: enjoy being out there every single day as much as possible.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, Mickey Rose the leader of that obviously,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: But like, I just don't think we have time to
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: let anything else like worry us. We just want to
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: enjoy being with the boys out there every single day
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: working and playing and winning. And you know, I don't
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think any of that other stuff's on our mind.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either. I wholeheartedly agree with that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I think, being we're all we just have fun every day, man,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: And like like you said, half of us don't have
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: much longer left and so and I would I'd venture
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: to bet that not many of us have been in
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: clubhouses that have all been in the same mind the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: same mindset, you know, going through it the same way
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: and enjoying it this way. And I mean, I don't
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: think so.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think so either.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: But you know that was something that we had to
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: build and that was a lot of years of us,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: you know, not achieving our full potential for that to happen.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, now we've reached that point where we
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: don't even think about it. We show up and how
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: can how can we have fun today?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all we're thinking about, speaking of having fun.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I know after winning the series, Mickey Roe brought this
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: back in I think twenty three and.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah it was because it was him and Peralta.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, DP, yeah, so we uh we started doing the
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: shot after at the after the end of winning a series,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and I think that really kind of helped us play
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: one game at a time, one series at a time.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: And and you know, so what it is is, you know,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: after we win a series, Maggie talks and we basically
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: name a player of the series. It could be a picture,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: it could be anybody, and we take a shot for
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: for win of the series, and then we take a
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: picture which we all get at the end of the year,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: which is really neat just to see all the different
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: faces who were the player of the series. That's they're
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: they're they're the ones taking the picture, and I think
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: it's it really kind of keeps us grounded out.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, it was cool, and you know
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: it was something that I had never realized. But you know,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Miggie and for Alter they talked about it that year
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: and they said, you know, we take winning winning for granted,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: like we don't appreciate we don't appreciate the win enough.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: And you know, they had been some places where winning
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: was kind of rare, and you know that helped us
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: kind of understand that, Like he went winning winning games
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: of special we were just so used to winning that
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: you know, we didn't fully appreciate it, and so now
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: it's like, hey, we appreciate every single win because you know,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you play, you play the series, and you win that
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: first game, you hey, we got one more in towards
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: taking shots, and then you know, you do that and
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: it's like, hey, we's sweep today, We're taking shots. It's
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's just a fun little tradition that
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: he started, and it definitely helped us put the focus
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: on winning games instead of just kind of going through
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the motions of you know, that's what we're supposed.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: To do versus Now we enjoy it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's weird, like if we don't win a
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: series or whatever, it's weird not taking the shot.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it makes you when you when you
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: take that next shot.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Eventually you you sit there and say, man, it's been
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: a long time since we've done this, Like, hey, let's
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: not do that again.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Let's not let's not let it get that longer again.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It's almost like it's not that it's something for us
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: to look forward to. You know, we we know we
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: are that that meeting for the games. It's something we
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I think we all really enjoy and it's it's.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Fun, you know for everyone out there. There's a lot
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: of apple juice in there. Also, you know, we're not
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: we're not forcing anyone to do anything they don't want
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: to do. You know, there's it's it's probably half and half. Honestly,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of guys are doing apple juice. And so
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: it's the whole point of it, though, is we're just celebrating.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: So just take a drink of something. We're celebrating. We're
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: not forcing anything on anyone.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Some guys do protein. You can whatever you want, literally,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: whatever you want. So obviously, you know a lot of
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: guys have superstitions. Have you ever have you seen there's
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: a Freddie Freeman shrine candle? No, I don't know what
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: that is. What's what's the what's the? Oh wow, so
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: they they burned this? Did they burn this during our
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: games or something?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Oh wow?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so that that's a superstition.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: There you go. Can we get one of these?
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need we need to get one. Whoever you are,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: send us a couple of these.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Police.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I would love nothing more than for Freddy's locker to
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: have like three of these things.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: He would hate it so much.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, if you had to if you had to. Yeah,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: do you have any superstitions?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I mean the same that everyone has, probably.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Probably the same stuff. I don't step on the white line.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you don't step on the white line.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: If if I if I hit three home runs, you
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: better believe I'm eating everything the exact same the next
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: day us regardless, using the same bat, same batting gloves.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: If I have a bad game, see you batting gloves.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Uh socks, see you know new socks. That's just normal. Yeah,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. I wouldn't.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything I do that's like out
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: of the ordinary. Like obviously, like I said, we all
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: have our superstitions, but it's just the ordinary ones. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: don't think there's anything I'm doing it's crazy.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I know some people have some
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: crazy ones out there.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: But there are some crazy ones out there. But yeah,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I don't. I feel like our up for us, for
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the boys, we don't. There's not very many. You know,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember seeing any real Yeah.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I know baseball players have some, but like it's tough
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to do that for one sixty two.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, again, to stick to the same thing, Like, especially
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: with as much as we traveled and your families and
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: like different.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Routines, different stadiums, different setup. You look at here right,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: like you gotta walk across the outfield to get to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: the dugout. So it's like, you know, it's it's it's
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: tough to do that in baseball. Yeah, and like I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: sure there's some people that have some ridiculous ones, but.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: That's that's just hard to do. Yeah, I agree.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, So, uh, if you had one at bat, not
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: you well, if you had one at bat that you
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: needed someone to get a hit, who would you put?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Like, who would you? Who would you in all of baseball?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: From our team?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: From our team? Frederick Frederick Frederick Kreeman. I think that's
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a I think everybody would do.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: That, man.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I mean I've got twenty five hundred hits, man, Like,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know he has a lot of doubles,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: but when I saw it on the board the other
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: day that he has almost fifteen hundred doubles.
• 40:11

• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, he might care more than any of us.

• 43:00
  Speaker 1: said cursh Yeah, for sure, curse.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: But I feel like everybody now, like you could go
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: up to the mountain visit and even though show is
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: a killer up there, you could still say.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Something to you. If you and me went up and
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: said something to him, he'd start laughing.
• 43:13

• 43:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do I'm gonna do this. This name, I

• 44:01
  Speaker 2: You just don't really think about it. I go vest
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: because he yells after every time he gets a punch out.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's a good one. So I want
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: to know, because.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Like what am I going to tell him, and he's
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: probably thinking the same thing, like what could I What
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: could I possibly tell him?
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Like he knows what he's doing, you know.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: He has nothing to say.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So like if I if I called the mound visit,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: he'd probably just stand there and be like, what.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Are we doing? Yeah? Yeah in his voice, you know,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? Get away from me?
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you know, unless I had something that he
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: was tipping, like in which that, in which case he'd
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: probably want to know. But like other than that, other
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: than that, he'd probably just be like, what are we doing?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Okay? So next one, which non parent teammate would you
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: let babies sit your kids?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Non parent teammate? This, this answer is going to surprise you.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh, non parent? I well got I feel like
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: everybody on our team has a kid. Non parent teammate.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Who would I let watch my kids?
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: The answer is gonna really surprise you.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna go here, all right?
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I mean it's only like two guys. Who you going with?
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going with Free Rush Okay, Yeah, there you go, okay,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: which is Rush would be a protector. He wouldn't let
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: nothing happen to them.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: But like I've seen the way he interacts with everyone
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: else's kids, and oh I haven't seen that. Yeah, he's amazing,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Like whenever everyone else's kids are around, like, he is
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: amazing with other people's kids. He's always playing with them.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: He's always having tune with them, you know, because you
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: know how our clubbouse is. We got kids all over
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: the place. He's playing catch with all of them. You know,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: he's playing you know, he's playing whatever games are in
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse with him. So he does an amazing job.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: And I've seen that firsthand, and so you know, I would,
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: I would trust him.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen that, I said free because I just
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: feel like he's a good he's a good kid. He's
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: a good kid, and he uh, he's got a good
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: head on his shoulders, and he has a little bit
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: of patience. He has a little bit of patience. I've
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: seen him, you know, when he's not getting hits, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: not that it matters with watching the kids, but I
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: just seen like when he's going through it, he's got
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: a good.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Mental head on.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: You know, he's good mentally, and then when he's playing great,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: he's good mentally.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: So that's my theory. It's a tough one thoughcause, like
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I said, you got like three people. There's not many people.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Last one, if you were an opposing team, which Dodger
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: would you least want to face in a bench clearing brawl?
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Guys? Count?
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want, this is gonna be random.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be like, Wow, that's kind of random. Who
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: do you go here? You going?
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, grader?
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: You could?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. I'm going at Guardo because I see
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: him after he throws a pitch and he just stands
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: on the mound and stares.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: At the hitden.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you got bazooks and you got baby bazooks exactly.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: The baby bazooks is bigger than the regular one. All right.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: So we got a couple more things before I let
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: you go. Man, I know we got to go to work.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: So I do want to talk about a little bit
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: about you. You got some big home runs in the
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: clutch last year Game seven. I know in eighteen you
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: hit the walk off. Which was which one of those
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: is your favorite? Or which? Actually that there you go,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: there's the walk off right there. I remember watching that
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: and when you hit it, part of me was like, dang,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I cannot believe we lost the game, especially after what
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Iavaldi had done. You know, he had went six and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: he was he was pitching really well. But the other
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: part of me was like, I'm yeah, I'm ready to
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: go home. You know, it was eighteen innings, bro, it
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: was it was eighteen innings with no pitchclock, with no
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: pitch clock. Yeah, you know, and like I know, I
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: had said last year's eighteen era, Yeah, last year's eighteen
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: inning game was was a little boring.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like that.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I meant that in the context because that eighteen inning game,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of back and forth throughout the
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: middle of those eighteen innings, you know, eleven twelve, whatever,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: There was situations for both teams to win, and we didn't.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like there was guys on base every inning,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: every end until until like the sixteenth maybe yeah, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: then it was just everyone was trying to get the
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: one swing.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly were last year. To me, it seems
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: like there wasn't it was.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: It was just a bunch of one two three, one
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: two three, one two three, one two three. But what
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: would you say, like that is your your biggest homer?
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this probably this one, Probably this one, yeah,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: and eighteenth inning World Series.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Did you even go to sleep after that? Like, were
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: you just just just so excited?
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: It was tough.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: I mean I did go to sleep because that was
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: eight hours of the playoff baseball, you know, and so
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, you eventually just passed out.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: But in there you are walking off the field.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was sick.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Just think just thinking how you were going to ruin ruin,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: ruin our night the next two nights.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: It wasn't me, It was the rest of the boys.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I mean you were involved in it.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did a little bit. I did a little bit.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: You had a homer in Game five, right, yeah, yeah,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: see game yeah? Yeah, what do you mean it wasn't you?
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: It was It wasn't just me.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: And then I want to talk a little bit about
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: uh when you told uh Boomgardener, go get it out
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: of the ocean? Man, did you think about that prior
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: or was that like just spur of the moment?
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Like how did that? How did that? It just it
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: just came out.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: It just came out. I mean, so did he What
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: did he say to you? So we don't have it,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: but this is on the second batter of the game.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Here Kyk is leading off because Kek hit like eight
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: hundred off Bumgarner. You know, I don't know what his
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: actual numbers are, but uh, the first pitch of the game,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: like six inches off the plate, calls a ball and
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: he his first pitch of the game. He immediately starts
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: yelling at the empire saying, I'm gonna need that today,
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: something something. But he's just you know, because he was
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: one of those old school guys like Lester and Lackey,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: and you know, he kind of tried to bully the
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: umpire to get a bigger.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Zone and it worked a lot of times. The next
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: pitch was in the almost the exact same spot and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: he calls it a strike.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: So like it worked right. The other thing was this
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: was like a eleven thirty start or twelve o'clock start.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, it was one of those.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: It was one of those games where, you know, early
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: early in the morning. So then I'm the second batter.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: Was it a two zero count, two to one count,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I don't remember, but he misses his spot. He's trying
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: to go fastball away, misses, it gets a little up
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: and end and I turn on it.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we can be real. I blasted it. Yeah, yeah,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: and look did I pimp it? Sure? But that's that's nothing.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: That was about to say, you've seen me do some
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: other one like that. That's nothing at all. Yeah, and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: he just starts yelling at me.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: He told me, in uh, some not so nicer words,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: you don't watch the ball, you run?
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Who do you think you are? You run?
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: And again he was just grumpy, you know, just like
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: I said, it was an early, early start.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: And he was.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: He was grumpy right from the right from the get go,
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: yelling at the empire.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: When when did you tell him to get out of
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the ocean?
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Was it? Well, so, as I'm going on the first
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: base line, he's telling me, you know, you don't watch
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: the ball, you run.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Who do you think you are? Uh?
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: And I show him off And then I hit first
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: base and he's coming towards me, still yelling at me.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: So then you can see right here, I say, well,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: come get some, then come get some.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: You know, as I'm still running, I didn't stop. I kept.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: You know, he's way bigger than me. He probably would
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: have pummeled me. And you know he works, he works
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: with horses and cows and stuff.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: He would he would have been strength is different.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but so I just say, hey.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Come get some and then I keep going and as
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: I hit third base, it kind of just pops into
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: my head.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, I just hit a ball into the water.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I needed tome go get it out of the water,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: like you know, and so.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like as I hit third base, it kind of
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: pops into my head. I think it's right here. Yeah,
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: you don't want me to watch it. How about you
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: go get the ball out of the ocean.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: There may have been get your swim trunks on in
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: there somewhere as well.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, but yeah, I just remember.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I just remember getting back to the dugout and Cursh
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: and Cursh is sitting there and he goes, would you
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: tell him? I said, go get the ball out of
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: the ocean, and Cursh just busted out dying last I think.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I never I mean, I never knew how the story
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: played out. Well that's cool though.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, so it just there's no hard feelings.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: It's just early start. Everyone was grumpy, I think because
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: back then I think they still played the seven fifteen game.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I think the night.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Before was a seven fifteen game, and so that was
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: a quick turnaround. Yeah, just everyone's tired.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, so a little bit younger. I want to go
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: back to a little bit younger month. You were drafted
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: by the A's, went to Baylor, went through the miners
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: there and ended up getting cut by the A's, right, yep,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: and that's why that's how you became a Dodger.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, twenty seventeen was well, yeah, the winner of twenty
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: sixteen seventeen.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I got dfaed and then.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: They signed RAJ Davis and so to make that move,
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: they dfade me and then no one picked me up
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: first time being dfaied, so that man I had to
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: stay in the organization. Showed up the spring. They had
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: pretty much told me I was there as insurance if
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: anyone got hurt.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Magically no one got hurt.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: So last day, last day of spring training, they called
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: me in and just said there wasn't a spot for me.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: They're gonna let me go.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: And that's when the Dodgers called picked you up.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: I went home for a couple of weeks, was pretty
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: set on retiring, and then you know, pretty well documented
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: at this point, got got around with my dad, watched
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: a couple of games, realized I didn't want to retire.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: I wanted to keep going, and uh, Farhan had reached
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: out to my agent asked if I was, you know,
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: interested in playing, and I told them yeah, So they
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: were gonna put me in double A.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Uh and then Belly got called.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Up right as I had signed, So then there was
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: a spot in Triple A, and so they sent me
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: to Okay See, and I was there for the majority
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: of that year.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: At that time, you were you just playing third base
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: or were you still moving around?
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I was mainly just playing first base. You're playing first base.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was shuffling a little bit in
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: the outfield, a little bit of second, really not much
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: at third.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: There was mainly just first, second, a little bit outfield, and.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Then when you got your chance, that was at first base.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: No, that was a third base. That was a base.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: So you had just you had in the minors in
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Triple A. I guess that's when you had started working.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Well, so what had happened was in twenty eighteen JT
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: broke his hand or his wrist something in this area
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: and he was on the shelf. I actually popped my
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: oblique in spring. I had I was having a really
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: good spring pop my oblique. Then like two weeks later,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: JT breaks his hand or again risk I think it
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: was his risk. It breaks his wrist. Pretty much, I
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: would have broke with the team if I was healthy.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Wasn't healthy. It took like.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: A week into the season for me to finally be healthy,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: get called up and they say, you're gonna play third
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: until JT gets back, and then we'll put you at
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: first and.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put belly in the outfield. M okay, okay.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: And so that's how the third base started. And did
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: you like it or no?
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Like? Was it? Is it?
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: I hated third base because I was mainly first base
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: and second base. So I'm on that side of the field.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Now We're going to put you on the other side
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: of the field. The ball is completely different, you know,
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: it plays completely different. I mean it took me until
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: about last year to like third base.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, I mean yeah, Like.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I played hard, I played at the bunch. I hated it.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: It took me until about last year to actually like it.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: And you know, go figure that's when things changed defensively
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: for me. It was when actually when I actually liked
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: playing it.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: It was I think you know what, I think we
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: really we bonded a lot, especially last year, because we
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: were both kind of going through it the same way.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Like we both knew like, Okay, we're the weaker side.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: We I mean, that was all we heard about.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all we heard about, right, and we have
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: a point to prove. Right, We're not going to be
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: me and you were not going to be the weak
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: links out there on the field. We're not going to
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: be the reason why we lose. We're gonna work, We're
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: gonna do everything we need to do. And I think
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: when we switched ourselves to that mindset, it made us
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: so much better, you know, because I was scared to
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: play short, Like I'm like, you know what I don't
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't love it, you know, it's it
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: is what it is. But then once I started to
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: learn to love it and started to learn to embrace
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: the the difficulties of it and all the other stuff,
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's when I got better. I would
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: probably say watching that's probably what happened with you as well.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: Same probably the same thing. Yeah, you know, we put
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: in a lot of work last year. It's you know,
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: I think that that may or may not have played
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: into some of the injury issues that I had. You know,
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: we were just putting in so much work every single
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: day trying to improve on it. And it was fun.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: It was fun doing all that work, but man, it
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: was a lot.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we did it because now this year, I'm
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: not saying we take it easy by any means, because
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: we still.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Work, but we just don't have to. We understand it better.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: So it's more and I'm not going to say cruise
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: control because that sounds bad, but it's more.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Cruise control like it is.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I mean the maintenance.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's maintenance. There you go. We we understand
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: what we're doing.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: We have our routines now and we don't have to
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: put in the three hour days of taking you know,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: five hundred ground balls trying to figure it.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Out, which was fun. But I'm glad we don't do it.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: And we did a lot of that all right.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Before I let you.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Go, I want to build one hundred and sixty two
• 58:24

  Speaker 1: Yeah, look at that. That's disgusting. But a Rod gives us,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: gives us us position to hey, Rod gives us third base?
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: No uh m, but we could pick him as DH
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: is what it's saying, right, who's number? That would be
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: a weird DH. Yeah, I would go. I mean they're

• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: So oh yeah that is is is Bryce On there?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: It won't let us pick him put in my first base.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: We already have somebody at first. No, we don't have
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: anyone at first base. But he didn't play first. Oh
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: he played outfield. Yeah that's right, that's right. Hold Rendon.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Rendon't got a thousand right there too?

  Speaker 4: gotta go back up.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be either you either go in.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: I mean it'd be tough to find a better second

  Speaker 3: baseman than Ian Kinsler, I think, especially Tens like, I
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: don't think there's many. Yeah, let's go yeah, just that
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: second bait like Ian Kinsler was like your classic power
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: guy at second base.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Corner or of twenty to our padre is twenty twenty man,
• 1:04:45

  Speaker 3: Gonzalez at first base. Joe Carter, Fred McGriff is a
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: kem Anetti count as a first base on this No,

  Speaker 1: I don't know where we could have done I mean,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Bobby Whit maybe, but yeah, I mean, but still haven't
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, does to say where we
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: could have done better? By any chance?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: It says no, So you're saying somehow we picked a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: bad picture in there, even though we couldn't pick pictures.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: All right, That's what I'm here. What it is, That's
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, all right.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: So the last thing, bro, I don't know if you
• 1:06:04

• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: hot dog. I gave it a eight point seven. It
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: was really good. We had cheese curds, which I wasn't.

• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Corn dog Korean? I don't know. I remember.

• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: only time they advertised a Korean.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Style hot dog.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: That's probably what it was.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it was like the batter was made out
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: of Yeah, I think it was. It was it was fine.

• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: classic spicy chicken hue. Not quite like a natural hot
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: but grew up. Yeah, it's good. I mean, nothing's burning
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: so no.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Which is great because I'm not a huge fan of spots.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: People glob that's pretty good.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a good m hm. And our scale ends at ten.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Our scale ends at ten, right ends of tim scale
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: ends at ten. I'm trying to get a little heat
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: to it now.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I can't wait it. No, come on, it's fine, spicy,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: but I mean again, it's not. It's not Nashville hot.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go with I would definitely order this.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: This is this is a good sound. This is good.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: This is really good, I.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Would I'm gonna go with mm hmmm, I'm gonna go
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: with an eight and a half eight point five.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: I thought you why they might go a little higher. Well,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: the only reason you're not you don't like spicy that.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, the only reason why I say eight point five
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: is because I remember that hot that that that dog,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: the hot dog I had last.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Time at the uh Pirates.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's a weekend one and it was fire
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: and I gave that a eight point seven.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Soy okay, So you don't you don't think it's better
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: than that. I wouldn't say it's better than that, but
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: this is now you wish you would have given them
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: the hot dog a higher score.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I wish it would have gave it the hot dog
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: a higher score. Yeah, okay, I should have given the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: hot dog a higher score because this is really better
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: than an eight point five. But the hot dog has
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: been my favorite, all right, So if you go back
• 1:09:51
