• 1:02
  Speaker 3: week old water bottle that's in the summer heat in
• 1:05

• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, I have the same thing. Okay, But everybody's had
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that like hot plastic water and it's it's a tough
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it's a tough look. And AJ was saying that. AJ
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: was saying to me, he was like, oh, you have
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the worst taste. I was like, yeah, in a car,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in in a can. Just I would like to not
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: have it in plastic as much as possible. I mean,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you can't avoid it all the time, but it doesn't
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: taste as good with plastic.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you're playing a double header in July
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and in the Northwest and that's all you have here,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you're still drinking it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys don't understand the problem with us old folk.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: We used to actually drink out of the sink called
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: a hose, straight out of the ground. Y'all don't even
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: know what a hose is. So we used to drink
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: you guys are talking about. We didn't break water bottles
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: with us to the games. They literally had a hose
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: by the Dugoffs and there'd be seven guys drinking out
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: of the hose at the same time.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Not in Jersey, not in New Jersey. Can't take Jersey water.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You need filters, you need reverse on snow, sigh, you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: need everything.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's funny anyway. So so first off, here, while we're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: having fun here, I want to make sure I cleared
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: this part up because we haven't had you on since
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: when we initially saw the I know you've addressed this.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: When we initially saw the news story, people were writing
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it like, oh, his kids hurt him, and then you
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: came out and said, no, my kids didn't hurt me.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And then we actually on our show made sure we
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: told everyone. We were like, hey, actually those new stories
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: were running with something and it was like you get
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: one word off, like for you being we know you're
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: one of the nicest guys in the game. You know that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know you're not going to say it, but you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: just told the story like it is. Hey. I was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: leaning down or whatever it is, and then I realized, wait,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: something's wrong here, so can you tell it? And then
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: kind of what happened after that that you had to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: clear up.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So we were it was like one o'clock
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: night game that evening. I was getting ready to head
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: out of the house and uh, I was like my
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: son was playing Legos on the floor and I was
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: just been literally squatting down like basically going into like
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: criss cross applesauce. Didn't even get to the floor. My
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: knee popped and it didn't didn't even hurt. Uh, But
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I was on the floor as I tried to get
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: up from the floor, like I couldn't put weight on it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and then I couldn't straighten it, and I was like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I literally as simple as that didn't even you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I was going to play with my kids and couldn't
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: couldn't even get down there, and uh, just a weird thing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I was. That's that's how it happened. As
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: unglamorous as it sounds, it probably means that I had
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a tore miniscus. For a while, I was like, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: didn't really have symptoms or anything like that. But man,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the next day after surgery, I was already thrown and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: feeling great and uh yeah, not my kid's fault. My
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: kids didn't take me out, but uh yeah, he feels
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: great now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I honestly want to see AJ try to sitting criss
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: cross apple sauce, but that's just that's neither here nor there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: But yeah, how much I.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Didn't get to it like like.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: This, how much are players playing through things? Can you?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Can you even try to tell fans how much players
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: play through because I think people see professional athletes and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: they say, dude, that dude's one hundred percent. Look at
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. But the reality is, and maybe you're wrong,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, you're not playing one hundred percent. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: what do guys play through that You're like, I probably
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: already had a torn meniscus before I crisscross apple sauce.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's not like I was playing through pain.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: But like I don't know.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: My mentality is you go till go till it's a
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: no right, And it's not like you're going to be stupid,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: you know, you you treat stuff as.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Stuff pops up.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: But like I mean, for this instance, like it's it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: one of those things where like I wasn't doing anything
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to like my knee. I wasn't getting treatment on it
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. Like it wasn't an issue that
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I felt like it was popping. It was I noticed that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know, from the off season on, I had to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: pop in my knee when I was in full flection.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: But it didn't do anything. It just made a sound.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, older does that.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Sometimes elbow's done that from time to time, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: like different body parts make sound sometimes and you see
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: if it affects you in any way, right, But like
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: it's one of those things where I got it fixed,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and then in that subsequent week after surgery, I was
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: throwing and you're you're like starting to load that backside
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and we were lucky that I was able to load
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: it really fast, right, I was. It felt so good,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you know, so soon after surgery that you you're like, oh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: that's I can get into my back knee better than
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I could a couple of weeks ago. Like dang, maybe
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: something actually was going on and it wasn't like I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: was feeling pain before, but it's like, man, I'm getting
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: into a better position to drive forward toward the plate
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and whatnot. So guys go through stuff. Guys want to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you guys know, you want to be on the field.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: You want to and if like it's it's one of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: those things where if you play inevitably throw a baseball
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: and you know, squat behind the plate and you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: play in the field for one hundred and sixty two
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: and you're playing every single day of the week, there's
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: going to be stuff that goes on.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: And this is I think it's our job.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You know and to try to have self awareness and
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to work on the things that if you lose motion
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: or stuff that pops up right, you just you just
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: fight through it. You find a way to you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: address issues as they come up, and try to continue
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to stay as close to that, like you know, perfect
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yu as you can.

• 8:30
  Speaker 3: if Texas Roadhouse or out back is a step up
• 8:32

• 8:39
  Speaker 3: we were gonna we're we're going to get a steak
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: in a blue and onion. But now it's they got
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: pretty good stuff. I was trying to find ways to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: treat them, and you got to get pretty creative nowadays.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, so how did you treat them, because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that's what I was going to say, like, no more food,
• 8:53

  Speaker 3: We got a new knee now, so we gotta avoid
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the a little less time in the cars better.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You gotta keep it stretched out. That's what the only
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: exactly right. You don't like it, pitch better, you don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: like the you don't like the bus rides. Pitch better,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and you have pitch better. So you said you were
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. Were you there the day that PCA
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: hit the homer when they were chanting overrated from the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: tarps off crew.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: No, I pitched that day. I was. I was on
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: my way back to Chicago. But I mean it was
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: a yeah, you don't need to feel that firing for Pete.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: He you know, there's sometimes you gotta he's uh, he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: got that motor and he runs hot and and the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: best play possible, you know, and you know those that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: just add add and fuel to it, you know, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: he just elevated it. I was, that was impressive, impressive
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: game and then cap it off in the best play possible,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: right to make that play in left centerfield. I mean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: he's a special talent. Man, he can he can do
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: it all That was fun to watch.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: When you're when you're saying, you don't need to fuel
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that fire, he's already got to fire burning. How do
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you look at it as or how do veterans on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the team look at it when you have a guy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that's that fiery, but then you see when it gets
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: elevated that you're like, oh, we don't want to squash this.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: How how do guys handle that? How do the position
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: players handle that? Or the team say, you know, do
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they do you guys prod the bear or do you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: guys say, okay, we just need to pull back the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: reins a little bit.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I don't think we're in the big leads. Man,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: No one needs to be prodded in any way. Right
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: you're up. You have to show up at Wrigley with
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: forty forty thousand every night like there's no prodding that's needed.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I I'm always of the belief that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Like you, you.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Can't fake anything. What you got on game days what
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you got. And it also doesn't whether you're you're running
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: up you know, running high or you know you're in
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: that here in that mode where you can have a
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: casual conversation. Competing is competing. It doesn't change what you
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: go do on the field. You just kind of take
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: wherever you're at, because it'd be lying to yourself.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: You walk out.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: There for you know, a start in the ALCS, you
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: know NLCS, and you're running just you're you're you're excited,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: like feet off that, playoff that and if you're not there,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you know, and it's a day that you're you're running lower.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: You play with what you got because it doesn't affect
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: your talent, doesn't affect on what you're bringing out to
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the mound or what you're bringing in the box.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just I've always kind of been taught that, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: you know, play off what you got.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Matthew, were you at the Crosstown Did you get to
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: attend the cross room?

  Speaker 5: I did?
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Did you guys put out a bounty on the girl
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: who told Pa that he sucks? Because ever since that moment,
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, the White Sox have gone like this and
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to mention the other team that you
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: play for what they've done.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it happens coincidence, no bounty, no bounding,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: nothing like that. But uh, why so White Sox are
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: playing good baseball right now. Hats off to him. Man,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: they're uh and then they're they're a good ball club.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: You know, they got a good lineup, good pitching. And
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that was a fun series to be a part of.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: It'll be fun to do it again over on the
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: south or on the north side here.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: You know in August?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Did PCA talk to you guys after that? I just
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: want I don't, I don't know.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: I've never seen everything has become so public now, right,
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: So does he have to He doesn't have to apologize
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: to his teammates or anything like that, because you guys
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: are in him, you're in the fight with him. You guys,
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: get right.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: There was no need, no, no, there's I mean, he
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: said you know, he said what he said to you
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: know afterwards in the.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Media and all that, and we got his back.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's it's not fun to have people
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: yell at you like that, you know, and and uh
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and and stuff happens. You know, you're you're out there,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: you're in the you're in the heat of the moment.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: It's that we all make mistakes. They Yeah, it's awesome.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You just got back from pitching and Triple A. Everybody says,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: guys that are coming up from Triple A, it's kind
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of unfair because a Triple A level isn't as good.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're throwing shade, but I'm saying, can
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you assess where Triple A is now compared to when
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I was hitting dingers off you in Triple A?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: You remember that hows a long time ago.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's different.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: It's different, and that's I mean, that's that's not a
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: knock to the players that are there. I think it's
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: it speaks to more how well, it's what happens when
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you shrink minor league baseball. I think one thing right
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: in that sense of what the league's done, and uh,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you kind of push out that generation of veteran players
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that are good enough to play in the big leagues
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and to take it bats when needed.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It's I think I think Triple A is more like
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Double A was when I was there. Right, It's like
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it's a few veterans and a ton of young talent.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, when I was in my first year in
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Triple A, our rotation was Felix Dubront, Randy Wolf, Jeff Francis,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Me and Daniel Norris, like we were the young pups.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I was bringing thirty racks to the field to bring
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: them on the for a bus ride because Randy Wolfe
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: told me to, you know, doing chart every day because
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Wolfie and Jeff Francis had combined like twenty two years
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: in the show.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: They weren't gonna they weren't gonna make me do that,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Brendan Ryan and omarn Fonte and Casey McGee in our infield,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: like Luke Scott, like these were the Triple A felt
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: like the big leagues and the approaches at the plate
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: were that way. Maybe the consistency wasn't that way, because
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: you know, these are guys that were fighting to get
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: back to the big leagues for the most part, with
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: like sprinkled in younger, younger talent.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: But yeah, the game it's just different in that sense.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: And I wouldn't say it's.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: For better or for worse, you know, but I think that, uh,
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's unfortunate that there's a there's that that
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: level of players that aren't able to play Triple A
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: baseball anymore, because you know, it is the rules and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the things that are.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: In place right like it's it's not they're not able to.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I and I want to hit on it one more
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: time because I feel like this is happening in the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: game where guys are prospects, pitchers, position players are getting
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: called up to do things that that veteran that Brendan
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Ryan at the end of his career, that you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Omar and Fonte at the end of his career, would
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have been called up to fill in for ten days.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But now they're calling the prospect up. Do you feel
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like that can not derail but deter the best version
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of that prospect that they're now calling up that should
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: have been a veteran spot that they would have just
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: then DFA afterwards.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I think it's different. There's our arguments that needed for that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think as a young starting pitcher,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: right my first two years, even three years, I was
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I was up and down and you're trying to find
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: your way, and like I think, I think some of
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: that some of that runways gone in a sense now,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you know, because you know Randy Wolf would come up
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: or Felix Duberant, and you knew you could.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Get a start out of those guys.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I you know, it's prospects have come
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: up at some point, right, but maybe that level of overexposure,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you know, when a guy needs to get a taste
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: of it, right and then okay, cool, I need to
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: get sent down. You mak it a in you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: you had that adjustment period and then you come back
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: up more prepared. I think probably some of that's a
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: little bit gone because a lot of these veterans are
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: aren't there anymore, you know, to a degree.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, you know, we always love these combos. Man, it
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was great having you on. Great to catch up. Great
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Back to By the.

• 18:14
  Speaker 6: the PCA was bad, you should have heard the things
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: that the Cubs fans used to say to me. That
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: was pg that was like g rated compared to what
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: they yell at me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: Hey, hey, I played, I played.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I played at US Luor Field for you know, back
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: when we had to go to the Chicago three times
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: a year and and and some good teams. You know,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it's there. It's not all rose colored glasses down there either.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: It's that was a means it's a bit they let
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: you know, how how were there? You know, alliances were
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you know they didn't like the Tigers.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: They don't. They don't like it in a Cubs uniform.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: It's it's, it's, it's all good. You know, you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Gotta be south Side tough, Matthew. You know, you North Siders,

• 19:11
  Speaker 4: We're lucky if we get a meal. He's talking about
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: that night. He says, we're lucky if we got a
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: meal down there.

• 19:51
  Speaker 2: one of their pictures joining us on FT. We're excited

  Speaker 2: about it. Aaron Ashby is here, Aaron, great to have
• 19:56

• 19:58
  Speaker 2: it was quite a bit of fun.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks for having me. Guys. It's been
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: a it's been a it's been a really fun season
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: for us so far. Man, especially this last month. Feel
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: like we got some of our guys back and kind
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: of like clicking on all cylinders. Still feel like we've
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: yet to play our best ball, and I guess that's
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: that's a good feeling coming off the month we just had.
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: But yeah, it's been it's been a ton of fun.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: We have a great group here.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Aaron. Did you see the video that we put up
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: right there? As you're like, are you able to see
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that screen?
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, I can see. I can see that. I
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: got one video over here with me and then another
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: with you.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: You and I Now, okay, okay, did you see yourself
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: on that video?
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: No?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: What?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Why? Why? Why is somebody that's leading the team and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: wins not on the highlight video? Shouldn't it be all that?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jackson Churio, I get it. Ran I get it,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and then the miss whoopid wins and all, yeah, more
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: wins than everybody.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: No, these are man, It's it's so weird. I've anytime
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: someone asked me about I'm just like, I got no idea,
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: like it's it's it's it's a weird thing because I
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: and and winds don't count the same. You know, the
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: game doesn't think of wins the same anymore. But it's
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: definitely a team effort. Dude, like these these guys when
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: they come up our offense, putting the bats together. You know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: it's usually at a point in the game we're usually tied,
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: and you know that that. I feel like most of
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: the time it can go to the starter, so but
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: certainly happy to be contributing in the way that I am.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I don't care what other people think. What do you
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: think about the wins? What do you think as as
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a player, Because it's always talked about, wins doesn't mean
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: as much as they used to. What do you think
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: as a player on the Milwaukee Brewers, who are in
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: first place in the nationally Central.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: I think that anyway you can help contribute to the
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: team to get a win is important. And I think
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: as a pitcher. Putting up zeros as our job, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: so if I'm doing that, that's important. And then for
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: for the offense to come through and score runs. I
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: guess when I'm in the game. Is has been a
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: cool thing the first two months of the season. Aaron
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: does have a nickname for you, not not that he's
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: told me, Not that he's told me. I haven't. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: haven't earned a nickname yet.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: So so we used to have, you know, we used
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: to have a nickname for guys who got all the
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: wins out of the bullpen Wes Vultures.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the voulture he MURVH hasn't specifically hit me with
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: that one yet, but the rest of the team has.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: So I think that's good. When I was when I
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: was here in twenty one, Suitor, Brent Suitor, one of
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: my favorite teammates, was the vulture of the team. I
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: think he had like ten wins by the break or
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: something crazy and or maybe in the year, and he
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: every time he came in from getting getting a Vulture win,
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: he would they'd have a vulture statue in his locker.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: And so I haven't. I haven't gotten there yet. I
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: don't know if that's coming, but uh yeah, nothing from
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: Murph though.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, well that's weird because Murph has nicknames for everybody.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: So if he hasn't gotten you one yet, you might
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: He probably has one. He just hasn't told you about
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: it yet.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: It could be behind closed doors, or maybe it's not
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: a good sign that I don't have a nickname from
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: him yet.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: No, you're doing all right. He likes you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: He likes you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: My question, My other question is is I had you
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: do games when you were starting, right, I called a
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: couple of games as you was a starter. What's the
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: different what's the biggest difference that you've noticed between starting
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: and being kind of a long reliever slash swing guy
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: at different roles.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so when you're starting, you kind of
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: feel this maybe like freedom to maybe have like cruise
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: control on throughout the game. And I think that can
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: help you as a starter when you get in that
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: when when you start cruising in like the third, fourth,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: fifth inning, that can be like beneficial to you. And
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: then out of the bullpen, man, it's like that door
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: opens up. You walk out of the door and it's
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: like balls the wall for however many pitches until I
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: tell you to stop. So I think it's helped me
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: develop as a pitcher to attack guys early and often
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: and get ahead on guys and put guys away. And
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: so I think I've learned a lot about myself pitching
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: out of the bullpen. And just like I feel like
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: I get if I went back to start, I could
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: bring that into like those first one, two, three innings
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: where that's that's pretty important, like shutting the game down
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: and getting that tempo set for your team. So I
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: think that's that's been the biggest change in like the
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: biggest thing that I've learned about it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So you're saying you could be like a professional opener.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: No, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: I want to be a professional opener. That would be cool.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: I guess that there's an actual role for that. But yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: just just like setting the tone, I don't think I
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: ever did a great job of setting the tone early
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: in my career. When I started, it was always like
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: traffic early, a blow up inning kind of like in
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: the third or fourth and like never never really gave
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: myself a solid foundation to start on. I had good,
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: good starts, maybe like three good starts, but it was
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: never like what these guys do now, like mis does
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: so well, of like setting the tone early and dominating
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: early and then you kind of like hit that cruise
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: control in the fourth, fifth, sixth inning in it. Man,
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: it's just what those guys do. Harrison too, like they're
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: they're really good at that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: But is that something you could have learned in the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: minor leagues or was it you needed to face big
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: league pitching to see that they're not chasing out of
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the zone and you're not just racking up your walks
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: when you're a starter trying to like cruise through the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: first half of the game and you never make it
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to the second half.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. I think. I think in the minor leagues
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: it's certainly easier to flip over a lineup three times
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: when you get up here, Like, guys make adjustments. If
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: you you dominate, you know, first time through the order,
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: it was second time through the order, They're they're making
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: an adjustment to get you out of the game. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: so and I was just never great at making the
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: counter adjustment to that. And so I think I've learned
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: that coming out of the bullpen now of like dominating
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: guys and then you know, I rarely see a lineup
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: two times through, but I feel like my mindset has
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: changed on just attacking hitters and getting after it and
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: kind of the confidence and whatever comes with, you know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: experience and being in the big leagues for the last
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: couple of years.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: You mentioned somebody that was my very first bullpen I
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: caught when I got traded over to the Brewers in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteens. And this man was sweating the entire bullpen,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: throwing eighty two to eighty four miles an hour, pulling,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: pulling sweat from his armpits right here. And now do
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you know I'm talking about Suitor Bee. Yeah, get get
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: He gets right in there, I mean all shut over
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the fence and he gets right in there and he
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he's sweating, sweating. But anyway, he got thrown out of
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: his first game, first game ever. Did you see him
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: get thrown out?
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: No?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: No, okay, if you read a tweet here, I'll read
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it for you. But Fred Souter on his first ejection
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: not the coolest way to get ejected, but one of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the funnier ways to get ejected. He stood out there,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it was the standoff, and the umpire threw him out. Now,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one do you think Sooner deserved to be thrown out?
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: And two? Is this a tired Is this kind of
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a tired thing that made me tired?
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: It's tired. Yeah, I'm I'm out on it. I I
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: don't know it's so it's it's like a playful thing
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: to me. It's like playful eyewash. I don't know it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: I if I were pitching, if I were the starting
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: pitcher and one of my guys is like out there
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: jacking around on the line with another guy on the
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: other team, I'm like, I'm about I feel like I'm
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: about to go to war, and you guys are like
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: playing this little game. I mean, I listen, I've laughed
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: at it before. I think it's funny. But I think
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: if I were the starting pitcher and I'm like trying
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: to get it, I'm about to go out there and compete,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: I'd be like, get off the line, get off the line,
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: let's go. We're about to go. And so I'm kind
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: of out on it. But I get why. I get
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: White guys think it's fun and fun to.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Do because it's because it's suitor Bee. Maybe you're like, ah,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I feel a little bit bad but I love this.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna clip it and we're gonna send it to him.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: We should send it to him. Suiter Bee is one
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: of my all time favorite teammates. He's huge, like just
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: teaching me kind of a way to be a pro
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: and he's a pros pro and he's the man. So
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: love that guy.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Is there something else that is what did you say?
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I wash? I wash shenanigans. I don't know what words
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: you said, But is there something else in the game
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: that's like.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: That, that's I wash?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Or that like yeah, or that like gets in like
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: just isn't you're not You're not four? But people are like, oh,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: it's so cool.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: I I would say, like celebrating pictures, this is gonna
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: be a hot hot topic. But pictures celebrations, I think
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: their eye wash.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Like all of them are closers or like the entrance
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to most all of them anything. So you just want
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to strike music.
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: I think I think walk out music's fine. I think
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: walk out music's fine. I just I've never been one
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: to like celebrate. I think I think you're just You're
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: just supposed to do your job. Your job's to put
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: up a zero and then I mean, I get I
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: get I and I'm not like one of the guys
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: that's like, oh this is terrible. I'm just like, I
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: don't know. I think it's eye wash.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Then you don't like you don't like pimp and homers
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: on the other side, No.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: I think a homer is harder to hit than a
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: clean inning for picture. I think I think there becomes
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: I think there becomes a time where you've gone like
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: a bat, flip whatever. I think I think a lot
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: of our guys actually do it in a really graceful way,
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: just like admire it and then kind of drop the
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: bat or whatever, like JB and Yell. I think have
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the best when they get one Bryce to like just
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: lean back. Lo Kane used to do it, lean back,
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: admire it, whatever, and then jogged the basis. I think
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: it's perfect. So yeah, I'm not I don't know, maybe
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: different in that way pictures.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Lok Lo Kane used to do it because his feet
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: hurt and his legs were tired.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: That's the body is tired body.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Some old Kansas city got them good years from Lo Caine.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: In Milwaukee, Uh in Milwaukee showed me.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Love Milwaukee's.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: But you know you know Lokay and I played with
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Locate at eighteen too. But you talk about celebrating, we
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: can't have a brower on without asking your reaction to
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the Abner your rebay stuff and just just what just
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: what you heard post and and like more more so
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: like Abner as a person.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, So I think when when Abner did that,
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: I think we were kind of like, whoa, you know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: there's there's something more behind that than what Abner usually does.
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: And so obviously like he came out apologized and and
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: he he felt bad. We kind of talked to him
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: about it, and like Abner's Abner's that guy that's just
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: like full of energy and one another one of my
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: favorite teammates. Like he's ready every day, same guy every day,
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: And so when that happened, it was just like he
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: pitches with so much emotion. It's like you can understand
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: where it came from. And so I think he learned
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: from from his mistake, and obviously hopefully it doesn't happen again.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: But yeah, just like he's he's one of those guys
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: that it means so much and it's part of like
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: what makes him so good. And so he you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: had a shortcoming there, but I think we moved on
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: from it. It's been good.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, what do you think of the rivalry right now
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: with the Cardinals just playing off that obviously you know,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: like Ali Marmol was saying some stuff I know, like
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: just so you know, like fans love that stuff. I mean,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you know that. Like it makes you know,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: May twenty fifth a little bit more interesting with a
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: little more pop. So we want to see teams, you know,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: we sure you want to be friends with everybody and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: hug and say hello, but like we want to see
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: some teams have some some beef with each other and
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah, I don't like them. I want to
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: beat them. You know, fans, I think I don't think
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: there's any fan that's like I want every team to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: just love each other.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know, I think like and over the
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: course of the season, like things like that are abound
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: to happen, and I think that they like are can
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: be good for both teams and can also be bad
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: for teams. So I think when when like confrontation like
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: that happens, I think as long as it like makes sense,
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: like if there's valid reasons on maybe both sides, like
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: it is probably good for the game. It's it's good
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: for like the competition and like wanting to go out there.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: It's you know, both fan bases are more into it,
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: and I think it creates like a competitive a competitive
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: environment that's like fun to watch.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, certainly, Well said, Yeah, it's it's okay to
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: not like your opponent like you. You can feel that
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: between the lines. Yeah, that's cool. I'm into it. Hey,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: let's let's finish on this on a fun note. So
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the only thing I can be an expert on, perhaps
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: on this show is I know electronic music quite well.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: So you've had I don't know if are you still
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: rolling with Nemino with your entrance song? Okay, so yes,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I've been. I've been on that train for a while.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: He's really good. He's like he's been around for a minute,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: but he's really like broken through with some hits lately.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: So when I heard it, especially all postseason long, it
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: would be running that's good taste. I was like tip
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: of the cap to someone who's getting deep in the scene.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: So any origin to.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: It, Yeah, it was just a so so Sala and
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I we we work out together in the weight room
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: before most games, and that's kind of the the genre
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: we go down to work out, like the ten ten
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: minute prime before the game. And it's just kind of
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: a moment last year where we would play our music
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: in the weight room and then the clubhouse kind of
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: was vibe into it, and so we would come in
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: from the weight room and put it on the clubhouse
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: and just start kind of, for lack of a better words, vibeing.
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: I guess it's just Yeah, the boys loved it, and uh,
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: it's kind of like what carried carried us through August.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: I felt like like it was when you hit the
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: dog Days of August. It is like before the game
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: and we're all just kind of like jacking around and
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: being goofy in there. So it was, uh, that's kind
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: of where it came from. And yeah, it's been it's
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: been a good, good walk out. I've enjoyed it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, dude, good choice, well played. Appreciate one
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: one rack, I can give you fifty. But have you
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: have you heard it's Murph.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: These are food for the soul.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got a bunch of rippers to dive
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: in if you haven't gotten to some others for the Okay,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: there you go. We can go an hour on that
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: on the side someday. But respect appreciate it. And there
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: are many others that don't even know ball that have
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: seen that and they're like, oh, this guy knows what's up.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: So you've got some fans outside the sport. Yeah, hey,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: well good talking you man. Really enjoyed the conversation. Hope
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: you did too, And good luck the rest of the
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: weight we'll catch at some point later in the season.
