  Speaker 1: Jackson Jobs had a really good camp, Casey Mises had
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: an incredible camp. Cantonmaida has been good. Cater Montero doesn't
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: get talked about a ton. We have those four guys
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for two spots.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We've got Tigers skipper AJ Hinch with us AJ getting
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: close to opening day, I'm sure this time of year
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: is not ideal because you want real games to start
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and you got to do what AJ calls some shoulder taps.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: So has that gone lately?
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm the guy that delivers the news, but when
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: when like Chris Fetter or George Lombard come and tap
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you on the shoulder, it's not a great morning.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: But it's part of it, you know. I Mean, we
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: got to get to the.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: To the twenty six and we will, but I but
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's a tough week, and mostly for the players.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard delivering the news, but the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: players are the ones that you know, that feel it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So so let's go through what you're looking at here
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: for this coming season.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: AJ.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Obviously we've talked to you in the off season about
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: how incredible the run was for your ball club.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: First one is, how do you start hot? Right, How
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: do you not.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Put yourself in a position where you need things to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: happen down the stage.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, we play the Dodgers, We go out to Seattle.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We have a West Coast swing. It is important for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: us to play well. It's important for us to to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get off on a good start. We are down a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: couple of players, but we got a pitch well, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to I mean, we start the rotation with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Trek Scooble. We go to Jack Flaherty, which ironically will
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be on ring Day in LA when they get their
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: rings from last year, and it's you know, we need
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to get out of the gate hot against one.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Of the best teams in baseball.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So we've got to sort out like how we're going
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to do it, how we're going to overcome Parker Meadows
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and Matt Erling not being there. I'm going to sort
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: out the back end of the rotation. But you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we need to go
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: play the games and get away from sort of that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: feeling that last year was the you know, the peak
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of the of the of the enjoyment for these guys.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: You go play these one sixty two.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna sort it out at the end of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the year and see if we can factor in again.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I know the guys love the taste that we got
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: into it, and and now it's using that experience to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to to to bring it forward.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: What are you guys gonna do with Jack on ring day?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: We asked him, I asked him about it. No, I know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: but you're gonna let him stop his warm ups and
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: walk out there and get a ring and a dog
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: pown form and they're just gonna rip it off.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: And then no, I think he's uh. I don't know
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: what they're gonna do.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They may do the thing with you know where they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: do it the next day and they bring him out
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for you know, for their their ceremony or whatever and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: do a single you know ring giveaway for him. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: now that walk out to the home plate to get
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the ring from Dave Roberts will feel better if he
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: pitches well, and does you know what a time to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: walk out to the to the plate. But I don't
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: know if they're gonna do a Game three. They're not
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: going to interrupt his his thing on on on game two,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and they certainly aren't going to do it game one
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: before the rest of their team gets the you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: gets the rings. Their rings, so kind of funny. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: don't think I've ever been a part of that, you know.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I remember in eighteen whenever we were given out rings
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to guys that weren't there, none of them were the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: first series, so that's a little different.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: Well, I want to go ahead, No, I want to
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: ask them why we have them here. So you know
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: I was a guy that you convinced you. You know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: anybody knows me know, I'm pretty stubborn, right, I'm hard
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: to convince.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: AJ. Hey, I don't platell you.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: You platon yourself right, be ready for that lefty righty matchup?
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Do you know I'm setting you up for success? I've
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: told people all the time. One thing that you're really
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: great at is leading men. I think you're really good
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: at at, you know, setting guys up for success. How
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: do you get guys to buy into a role to
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: convince them to, hey, this is where we see you,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: and this is what we're going to do because I
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: see you having success in this situation.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know it's in communications important. You got
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to tell guys like, hey, this is where I see you.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And I can be wrong, but this is how it is.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And then you've got to follow up with your word.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: If you're going to tell somebody they're going to play
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in a certain situation, play them. If you tell them
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know you kind of don't sneak attack them and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: surprise them. I think guys can prepare for anything if
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you're very transparent and open with them. Uh, it's the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: misleading that gets guys super frustrated. So now we're all
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: here to win, and we've proven that we can bring
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the most out of a team whenever we do it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the way we do it now. That's whether you're taking
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a picture out and bringing in a reliever, if you're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: running this pitching chaos that we did, if you're you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this guy's on the team to crush left handed pitch,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and then I need to get you in there, which
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is why I got you in there. There's there's reasons
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: behind everything that we do. We owe it to the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: players to tell them and that that resonates with players now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: whether they like it or not, whether they agree with
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it or not, they will respond to it because they
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: trust you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll I want to stick stay there. You talk
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: about a couple of injuries, but you guys have a
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: couple good problems right now. We talk about Casey Mice healthy,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: Casey Mice, Cantameida, how is the rotation shaping up?
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: But it's a good problem. You got guys who are
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: ready to go healthy. He looks the best that we've
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: seen him in years. Healthy.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: You know where are we went to the rotation?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna start with Scooball and Flaherty and ree
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: so Olsen. Those guys are locked in. Jackson Jobs had
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a really good camp. Casey Mises had an incredible camp.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Cantoma Aida has been good.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Cater Montero doesn't get talked about a ton. He started
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a playoff game for us last year. So we have
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: those four guys for two spots, and two of them
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: are going to be disappointed. Everybody wants to be in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the rotation. Everybody wants to start games. So we have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: until the end of camp to figure out how that works.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We're gonna need all of them. They don't want to
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: hear that right now. They want to hear like they
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: want to be on the line at Dodger Stadium, you know,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: getting it out to being on the opening day rosters.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So we needed you know they got some important starts
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: come up. We're still evaluating kind of how we're going
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to piece it together. We do plan on having five starters,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, which I get that question. A lodge is
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: based on how we did last year where we were
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: running a lot of bullpen games and things like that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But we may run a bullpen game at some point
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: during the season if it's the best way to beat
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that team. We have to win sort of these marginal,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: small little victories that lead us to a win. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been fun to keep the other team guessing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But I know these starters want to be locked in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the rotation.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Ft fam Arena Club is the modern way to collect
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: cards or buy or sell or trade or even grade.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: And we're highlighting slab packs because this is the new
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: way to rip open a pack and get a really
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: good card. Aj But also if you're not into the card,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like I know you pulled a Bob Gibson card recently,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you can get an offer of ninety percent of the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: estimated value and just accept it on the spot and
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: give it right back and maybe try again with another
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: slap pack.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I ain't getting rid of my Bob Gibson autographed card.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Bob Gibson ain't card sign a card anytime soon, so
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I'm keeping this one. It gets graded for you. There's
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: no mess. The only thing I wish they had bubble gum.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Can they virtually send me some bubble gumps? Cut Other
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: than that, it's awesome. You can buy sell cards, they
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: grate them instantly for you, and physically you can also
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: get the cards if you want them, So I'm all
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: for this.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those cards are in your showroom in the app,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and then of course you can get the card physically
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: sent to you. So right now you can get twenty
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: percent off your first slab pack or card purchase by
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: going to Arena club dot com slash f o u

  Speaker 8: Are you gonna miss that? That's what I want to know.

  Speaker 8: Are you gonna miss that?
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Does a Stanford grad and mister no reason.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: My background, I mean, there's no reason associate all that,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Know, you guys were that. You guys were the no button.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: You know, got to stand behind the cone with niner.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: You know the whole deal. So are you gonna miss that?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: You're not gonna have to try to outsmart every minute
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: with your chaos theory.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Jealousy from you is as a real thing when it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: comes to like summery didn't go you know, I wish
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you could have got to go there to man, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: really do.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: No, I don't.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: We've had this conversation. We had this conversation why I
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: didn't go there. You would have lost your job.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're you're you are on one today,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Like that's a that's an incredible.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: It's been a couple of days. Don't worry, it's been
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: a long time.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I think the I think the strategy part of it
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is pretty awesome, you know. I think there's a there's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a way to confuse the competition a little bit and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you utilize the strengths of your guys. And I don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: know about missing it, but I'm willing to use it,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean it if you need to win
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: one game, the hardest thing for the other team to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: do is have to face elite pitching or the unknown,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like those two things are are are I'm good with either,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you know? And I think there's there's a way for
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: us to maximize the strength of our guys by by
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: utilizing it. It's not this this thing that's mandatory for us,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: or it's the only way that you can win, or
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it's the you know, necessary, even the most popular way
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to do it. But given what our guys did last
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: year and how successful it was, we'd be crazy not
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to consider it at some point to reset the rotation
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: or to match up against a very difficult left right balance,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: because we have a number of guys that can can
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: come fire and at you. So but no, I don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you know, if the five starters want to roll out
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty plus innings a dominant performance, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: will stay out of the way and sit in my
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: seat and high five of them when they come off
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about your one Trek Scougle.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: So, first off, he pitched against the Phillies the other
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: day on the road right, can you take us through
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I guess the rarity of everything that he did, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: then his quotes afterward, I thought, really, we're kind of
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a model example of if you want to be a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: bulldog in rotation and just be at your best at
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: all times, you take spring training seriously as well.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, so these guys only it, what is it,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: five or six starts, but you know, during the during
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the spring, and so those are the five or six
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: most important games of the of the spring for them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: And when when they go on the road, you get
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: sort of the a players often, especially a weekend game
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: mid March. We're at Clearwater and so he looked up
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and if we just took Clearwater and then just moved
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to Philly or Detroit, that would have been a very
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: easy lineup for him to see across the way. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he loves that. He thrives on that stuff. So what
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: does he do. He goes out and pounds of strike zone.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: He threw a incredible amount of strikes. He went right
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: at guys. He gave up a couple of runs, he
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: gave up a couple of soft contact hits, He had
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of battles with Bryce Harper. I mean that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that is really the most game like season, like you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: environment that you can create for him. Now, he came
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: out of that and he was telling Chris Fetter and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: me like, hey, I want to go on the road
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: every trip next year.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Now he may.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Disagree, he may not want to do that coming from
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Lakeland and you're going around to four Myers and Jupiter
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and Northport and we tryme so, but if we can
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: give him the mid to late camp boost of facing
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: recognizable guys and facing you know, kind of testing yourself
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on where you are, because next started for him is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: going to be against Baltimore on Friday on the road.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: He'll probably face those same guys. Then the next start
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: after that is a Dodger Stadium, and we know how
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: good that lineup is. So it is important to get
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: some game like reps before you get to the to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: No better way to do it than on the road
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: for a starting pitcher.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: So okay, Riley Green Parking Meadows, you carry Carpenter. You've
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: got some young faces, uh, Max Clark, let's talk about
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the youth movement right now.
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: There's an expectation around camp.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: It used to be we hope we can be this,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: but now after last year and I think what you
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: bring to the table, there's an expectation of winning and
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: you know, guys doing their part to help. What do
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: you see this youth movement, Matt, Guys like Max Clark,
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: big social.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Media movement a little bit of a arthma. How does
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: that help the team? Doesn't help the.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Team, What does it do for the well depends if
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you help him by buying some batting gloves and a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: headband and a.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Arm guard like he's got he's got products.
• 12:10

• 12:15
  Speaker 1: what we're doing with our system and and the influx
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of talent the last couple of years has been real.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: We've had a couple of those kids come over and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: what I hope they feel when they come over is
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a part of something a little bit bigger.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: You look at Riley, who's now an All Star. You
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: look at Terrorik who's now the front of the rotation
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: beast and an All Star. You look at you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Colt Keith, who's establishing himself as a big league. There's Hobby,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: There's Glaber Torres who just was in that Parker is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the center fielder that you dream of. I mean it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there's Carrie Carpenter obviously broke onto the scene last you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: last year, but also like in October, those guys are
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: all watching how we do things and what the expectation
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: is here. They've shown incredibly well. Ryan Garko's our farm director.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: He does like like he's he's real with these guys
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: on what they need to do to be better, to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be able to play for us. And when you can
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: combine that sort of youthful energy, youthful athleticism, the the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: expectations on the major league side, you're starting to get
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: an organization that believes that we should factor in.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: And then now you got to go play the games.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So some of these kids that are coming over and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: doing well, Max Clark, Kevin McGonagall, Loronzo Brisanio came over.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It's it's important for them to get a taste and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: then they got to go to erie in West Michigan
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and and get their get their work done so that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they can be here someday.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Hitch, first of all, Shocking Garko is your farm director
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Stanford another Stanford guy. I mean, come on, clean it
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: up over there in Lakeland. But I want to know
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: about Bregman. Just this is all I want to know.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Did you take Alex and Joey and make them fight
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: over who would sign Alex Fragman because that would be
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: a hell of a fight. Joey has been you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: it's been known to maybe not on a lag or two.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: And then you have Alex, who you know, went to Miami,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: who knows what they're doing down there.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So that was the second shade at Stanford. That was unnecessary,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: but I really noted. I get it if if you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: we have the Corra Bowl coming up on Wednesday, We're
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: going down. We have an overnight and Fort Myers will
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: play the Twins one day, we play the Red Sox
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the next day. I've already called it the Corra Bowl.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: They will sort it out and and Bregman I may
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: or may not play there, but I you know, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: think I think I had those guys.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: We were also joe factor in Joe spot It too.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: We were all sort of.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: In touch, trying to not say anything to anybody on
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: what was going on.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And and you know, I had two in that on
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that in that interaction.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Because me and Joey we were obviously involved from our
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: from our side, but that was crazy at the end
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of camp, even going into camp that someone was, you know,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in the middle of three camps and not in any
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of them before he signed. The funny part about that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the following I think the day or two after he signed,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: we had the Manager Media Day in Bradenton where all
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Florida based managers get together and the media can
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: talk to you, the national media or whatever. And who
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: do they put me right next to? But Alex Korra
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: right next to him, So I couldn't get away from
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: from the chorus whether it was a Bregman sweepstakes or
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the you know or the manager availability day. But we'll
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: see enough of both of those guys, both Alex's, I think,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: probably on Wednesday, and I'll let Joey go handle whatever
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: whatever he wants to on the on the aftermath of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the Bregnant sweepstakes.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: Kratz, what time is it time to stop overpaying for
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: wireless with these bogus fees and quote free perks that
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: actually cost more in the long run.

  Speaker 7: That's good stuff. Last thing, I want to ask the
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: tough question, and this is.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Why I love AJ. He's always really honest. One thing
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: about AJ. You asked a question, don't be afraid he's
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: gonna give you them.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: You have to call him hitch. You have to call
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: him hitch because we have.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: A hitch hits. Yeah, it's called AJ, mister AJ Hinch.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: So this is my thing.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Last year, you guys did more than what most people expected.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Right if Strong finished the series away from being where
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: everybody wants to be in a world series, who do
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: you see you know coming out of this camp, did
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: you want to see, like, who's the guy if this
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: guy takes the next level the Tigers go to the
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: next level.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Who's that guy that you really want not to put
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: a pressure?
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: So you want me to put pressure on one of guys?
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but like, who's the guy? Is a Parking Meadows?
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Is it Torgelsen? Who's the guy that you say, if
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: this guy.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Can find some consistency, we are a better team and
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: we get even further than maybe we did last year.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's Reese Oulsen in the rotation. I actually
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go the position player stuff. I think is going
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to sort itself out and we're gonna have a lot
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: of combos and move guys around. What Resulsen can do
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: is is help lengthen a rotation that can be pretty
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: nasty really whatever combo we go with, and he was
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: trending in that direction last year. It gets hurt right
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: after the All Star break. We miss him for a
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: good bit. He comes back in the stretch down the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: on the stretch and became like a bridge guy in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and uh he he doesn't get enough love for,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, helping be a dominant starting pitcher when you
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: talk to other hitters in the league like they know
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: what he's about. You have four pitches. It's nasty swinging
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: his stuff. It's hard to center him up. The ball
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: moves all over the place. And so you start to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: roll in and scooble Flairty and Polson and we can
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: do a lot of different things in the four and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: five spot. I think Reese in the rotation with with
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Terrek and Jack is not probably getting enough attention. And
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that that's where you start rolling out a dude every
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: day and give your young players a chance to manufacture
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: some runs. You give the torkl Sens and the Keiths
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and the and you know, get Hobby back in there,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: get Trey Sweeney in there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Like there's we can.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Be a kind of a you know, an offense that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that puts pressure on you, but we can be a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: pitching staff that comes in and it's hard to score on.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And that that to me is a is is where
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you're in every game. That is that you a guy
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: starting the game that you trust.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: Hinch.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Great to see you, Thank you as always for the time.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: We appreciate it, all of you, except exactly.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Double shaded Stanford is so uncessary. They're an unbelievable acc team.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Go check the record.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: We've got Carrie Carpenter joining us right now. Carrie, good
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to see you, and not only how is camp, but
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: also how was your off season? I'm sure it took
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit of time to process everything that went down,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: including through October for your team.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: It was awesome.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: The off season was busy because I had a little
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: girl in November, so it was kind of getting ready
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: for that. But once I had time to really sit
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: back and think about twenty twenty four, it was pretty
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: special to think about where we were in the middle
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: of the season and then where we ended up. And
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: I mean we were seven or eight outs away I
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: think from going to the Alcs and we had a
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: lead in the seventh I think at home in Game
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: four and we were close. And so they're kind of
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: just like little fire in us. It's carrying over into
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: spring training already.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Let me go back to that now.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: I'm having flashbacks you trying to do your best Gibbie
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: impersonation there in that playoff run, because I.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Mean, Washington, you've banged up. Find a way to come
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: up here for your team.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: Can you talk about that experience and how motivated you
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: guys are going into this season after.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: A little bit of taste of what you guys had
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: last year.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a little high praise. I think to compare
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: myself to Givvy, But no, it's it really is motivating
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: to think about what we could, what we did with
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: that team we had, and we just added a bunch
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: of good guys in the off season, and all of
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: the guys that were here got better. Was AJ mentioned
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: it in spring training and like the first week of
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: spring training where it's like the room looks very similar
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: to what it looked like last year, and I hadn't
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: had that With the Tigers. It was a lot of
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: new faces because they were trying to figure out who
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: was going to stick with us, and we got a
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: bunch of guys that stuck, and we got a bunch
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: of guys that are a lot better from last year.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: You talk about guys that stuck, here we are.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: And we sat with AJ earlier and he AJ loves
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: to say because I used to give him a hard time,
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Hey man, I can hear writings too. He always says,
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: I don't platinent, you platon yourself. We talked about a
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: sitting here. You talked about the amount of at bats
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: you've been getting against lefties. I've been a huge advocate
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: of letting my boy Carrie spin let me let him
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: get five or six hundred that bats.
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: I think you can do some special things.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Where are you as far as the role that you
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: are in right now or trying to show aj that, hey,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: I can face these lefties and give you the same
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: production as I do when I'm facing writings.
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: That It's it's both.
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: It's I'm grateful for the opportunity I do get obviously
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: against every single writing, but I also I know I
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: can produce against lefties. I've done it in the minor
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: leagues when I was in the lineup every single day,
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: and it's a different animal up here.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: But I've been getting a lot of.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: Bass off for lefties at spring training, and I already
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: feel more comfortable where the angles are coming from, what
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: pitches are throwing. So I'm really confident that if I
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: get the opportunity, that I can seize it. And it's
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: just the that's kind of it's it's true that I
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: mean I can go and earn it if I go produce,
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: and so that's what my goal is.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Is that the key for you carry the angles because
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I remember, you know, first come up, I was a
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: left hand hitter. I hit lefties in the minor leagues,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: had no problem, and then all of a sudden the
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: big leagues and all right away they're like, oh, you
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: can't hit lefties.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: Well, how do you know? You never let me, never
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: let me get a shot.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I had a hitting coach to tell me one time,
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: you got to keep your angles because the first thing
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: that goes is your angles. With the lefties, there's a
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: right of your angles. Your your body is different, even
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: though you try to stay the same. And then one
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: of the biggest fights was I would just tell myself, like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I'm diving right because not a lot of lefties throw
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: in on lefties. So like I was like, I'm just good.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Even though you weren't diving, it was just you became
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: your natural swing. So explain what keeping your angles means,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: because that's what it meant for me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: That's a I think that's one of the biggest deals
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: for me hitting lefties is seeing it from the first
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: base side of the rubber, what a fastball like where
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: it needs to start. That's that's kind of a big
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: thing that I think about is my approach is dictated
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: by where I think I need the fastball to start.
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: So for a fastball to be a strike from a lefty,
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: it depends on if it's a sinker or a four scene.
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: But it's way different than when where a fastball needs
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: to start from variety. So seeing that seeing a ball
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: start behind me and end up being a strike, that's
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: definitely a big thing. So, like you said, the angles
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: are just something that I have to get comfortable with again.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: And I have the spring training. I feel really good.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: That's great.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I thought your hitting coach guy told
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: you that all the swings are the same, right. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: thought it was an understand Wait it's different.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: Wait wait see what so the touching is different?
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, God, I have to ask this question just
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: because I think it's funny as hell. How do you
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: stay out of the Twitter, the Twitter world with all
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: the stuff that goes around with you know, listen, the
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: guy works for you. I'm not going to mention his
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: name because he is taking shots of me, even though
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: I've never met the guy in my life and I
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: have nothing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: To get to look for him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: But how do you stay out of it because like
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: you're you're an example he uses all the time and.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: You've done it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: So do you ever just want to call him and say, dude,
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: just like to let it go?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Bro?
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: I I don't.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: I actually, yeah, I don't have Twitter, so I think
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: that helps.
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: I literally never see it, so I don't have a
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Twitter account, which helps. But I also just I he
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: changed my career. Honestly, I was not as good. I
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: wouldn't be here if if I didn't go and and
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: learn from him. And so that's the big thing is
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: like I kind of owe a lot of what is
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: going on right now to him, and so I'm just like,
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: used me as an example, please, And and I know
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: I'm getting a lot of heat from a bunch of players,
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: a bunch of ex players, but man, it's yeah, for me,
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: it's it's working, and I feel like I honestly owe
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: it to him.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Listen, it works for you, I agree, Like keep doing
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: what you're doing it just you know, listen, I don't
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: have Twitter when I played.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: Now I have, and I just see things and I'm
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: just like, man, if these dudes nude like and it's
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: not a knock on you, I love it. I love
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: that it works, So God bless you.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Keep doing what you're doing and keep those angles and
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: get get banging on some lefties I'm trying.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: I love that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: Mm hmmm.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: So we want to talk about camp. Right here we
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: are in camp dog days of camp. This is when
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: it gets tough, right coming towards end.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: What are you focused on, you know, going into this
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: year as an an individual?
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Right, let's get a little selfish.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: What does Kerry Carpenter want to do for himself to
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: help the team have success in the season, Like, what
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: what do you want to you know, continue to improve on.
• 25:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's something I think about a lot, and this
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: is such a good time to work on in spring training.
• 25:49
  Speaker 10: And I think for me, being healthy is number one
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: because I'm confident and I've shown that if I'm on
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: the field, i can produce, and so I just need
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: to be on the field.
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: That's I know.
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: They you know, talk hit home with me about that
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: in the off season.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Two.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: It's just like, let's do whatever we can to keep
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: you healthy.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: And so that's a big thing for me and just
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: building on what I did at the plate last year.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: Obviously getting more comfortable against lefties will help. But I'm
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: really comfortable against righties, and I'm really comfortable when I
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: get reps in the outfield, and so I feel like
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: that is something that is going to take another leap forward,
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: which it did last year. And so those things getting better,
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: doing the things on the base pass, like, all those
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: little things add up and they're all cliches, but they're
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: all things that really do matter for me at least.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Hey carry question for you.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I know, you know the news today in camp is
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: one of your teammates, Jace Young getting sent down. You
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: didn't have a perfect path to where you are right now,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: went through adversity, you guys, most do, aside from maybe
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know Tani. So what would you say to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Jace Young, you know, to motivate him right and be like,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I've been there, and also what did you see from him?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: You know, Aj mentioned how the timing was.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Off for him, and you know it can be difficult
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: obviously to figure that out when you've got now less.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Than two weeks to go until the season starts.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, he's a ballplayer.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: He's when he's right, he can absolutely be a stud
• 27:21
  Speaker 10: in the big leagues and he's shown that he's had
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: those flashes in the big leagues, and he's clearly had
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: the flashes.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: In the minor league.
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: So it's that's what I think about all the time,
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: is these the best players in the league are the
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: guys that are just at their best way more like
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: way more than everybody else. And so that I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: that's like like you said, timing, he probably missed too
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: many fastballs in the zone, But that's to me, that's
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: that's fixable and he can go and work on that
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: right now. And I mean, if he goes out and
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: has a good first week, he could come back up.
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: So it's I know it's got to be.
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: I've never gotten option once I've been in the big leagues,
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: but I did have a little bit of a rough
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: path to the big leagues. But there's always hope. I mean,
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: I mean, people get hurt, people don't perform. He could
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: perform amazing and just play his way back into the
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: big leagues. It's so possible. I mean, it could happen
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: a weekend. It's there's no reason to lose hope. And
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: I know it's it's such a dagger, but everyone wants
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: to make the opening day roster. But he's a good
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: He should never lose confidence because he has it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: He's a stud.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Gary.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: You mentioned something there that I found very interesting. You
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: were talking about, you know, you want to play the
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: outfield more. You saw what happened with Raffie Devers. I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: sure in Boston where he said I'm a third basement.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: Now they're kind of making him the DH. Do you
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: think you hit better as a DH or as an outfielder.
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: I don't know the numbers, but I like being out
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: in the outfield. I like being in the rhythm of
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: the game. I like the run out and back. I
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: think it keeps my legs loose and healthy. I prefer
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: to be in the outfield. I think I am healthier
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: that way, and I think it helps me hit. But
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: I do remember AJ said last year that I played
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: well as a DH and not a lot of guys
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: I maybe can do that, and I know that they
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: they valued that out of me, and so they kept
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: me out there I think probably or kept me in there,
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: probably because my back to at that point. But yeah,
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: I prefer to be in the outfield. But if I'm
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: in the lineup, I'm happy.
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, So I want to talk about that you've been
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: in the line up. That's important. And AJ has been
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: through what I've been through.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: It always trying to find out ways to keep ourselves
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: on the field. What has changed in your regiment or
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: your routine to hopefully, you know, have you out there
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: more often?
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: I mean, so last year I had a stress fracture
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: my back and and I can't prove it, but I
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: think it's from some of the lifting that I was doing,
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: and so we just kind of did a different version
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: of what I was doing with less you know, pressure
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: on my back. And so I think that's a big
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: deal that that was needed to be addressed. And so
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: I feel really good with what we're doing now in
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: the weight room, training room, just going and being having
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: a routine with that and even if I feel good,
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: go and get treatment anyways and go kind of get
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: work done anyways.
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: And so that's something that I'm still learning and learning.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: How to do.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: But I think that's that's going to be a good
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: thing that happens for me this year.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: I like that so and also too, Now you've been
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: a guy in the past couple of years of impressed people,
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: surprise people. I got to ask you being a guy
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: who I want to say, you're a veteran, but you
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: know you've been here, You've been a part of this
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: thing for a few years now. Who's the younger guy
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: that you've noticed and you watching, you go, damn, this
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: guy is good. He's going to be good because it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: always some guy that sticks out you. I didn't know
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: he was.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: He was liked it. Who have you singing it?
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: And you go, damn, this dude is really going to
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: be a hell of a ball player.
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Man, there's a couple of guys that come to mind.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: I think Trey Sweeney is going to be a baller.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: I think justin Henry mlloy is going to be a
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: r He has just that that hit factor at the plate.
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: He rakes the thing that you just can't teach it. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: and he did so well in the playoffs. He kind
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: of had a coming out party in the playoffs, which
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: was awesome to see. And a guy that's in the
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: minor league's Andrew Navigado Unlike, he has it too. He
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: just like doesn't matter who he's facing, Like, I mean
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: that guy that rakes, yeah, exactly. So those are three
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: guys that like immediately came to mind. So, yeah, those
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: guys are gonna be awesome. They're ballers, they have that
• 31:31
  Speaker 10: H factor future, Yeah, I think so.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Kerry.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: By the way, we found it, it was one fips
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: plus as a d H and ops plus is a
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: left right flip.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: So maybe I say, maybe there's something behind it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: I gotta I gotta up the outfield there.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: No kidding, no kidding, all right. We had Riley Green
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: on your your counterpart here, your your fellow Orlando, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: I asked him why you guys can't come over to
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: the house. I mean, I'm in Orlando, Scotts in Orlando.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: You know it's not hard. It's not a long way to.

  Speaker 10: downtown Orlando.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Phillips.
• 32:33

• 32:35
  Speaker 10: we we I love it out there. And well, the
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: reason I don't go to Orlando is because it should

• 32:42
  Speaker 10: takes two and a half hours.
