1:58
Speaker 3: some you know, show up on the field and like
2:00
Speaker 3: playing to get better every day. I think that's like

2:04
Speaker 3: me here.
2:06
Speaker 5: I like it. I like it.
2:07
Speaker 4: But I just got to ask you. You're from Caracas,
2:09
Speaker 4: You're from Venezuela. Have you still are you still basking
2:13
Speaker 4: in the glow of the WBC and Venezuela World champions
2:16
Speaker 4: Do you do you and Contreras walk around the Red
2:19
Speaker 4: Sox Clubhouse and just have the Venezuelan flag on twenty
2:23
Speaker 4: four to seven.
2:24
Speaker 3: No, so for the guys like when they win the championees,
2:28
Speaker 3: I was there.
2:29
Speaker 1: I was there on the crowd.
2:31
Speaker 3: Lke after that game the next day like they were
2:36
Speaker 3: the UNI whatever and the next day like that's done.
2:39
Speaker 1: You know, we're focus on the recks.
2:41
Speaker 5: But you were in the crowd watching. You were in
2:43
Speaker 5: the crowd watching.
2:45
Speaker 4: Did you have to buy a ticket or did Yeppie
2:47
Speaker 4: get you your pass list?
2:50
Speaker 1: No?
2:50
Speaker 3: I buy I think I got a funny story about
2:52
Speaker 3: that because we were in spring training and like I
2:55
Speaker 3: was waiting for Alice Gorda send the schedule for the
3:00
Speaker 3: next day. So I wasn't playing, so I take a
3:03
Speaker 3: trip to from four my years to Miami, like two hours,
3:07
Speaker 3: two hours and a half.
3:08
Speaker 1: If I was starting the next day.
3:10
Speaker 3: I don't want to travel to that game, you know,
3:13
Speaker 3: like I get a basically day off the next day.
3:16
Speaker 3: So I traveled to Miami to watch the game, to
3:17
Speaker 3: watch the guys. And it was funny because like all
3:20
Speaker 3: the American people ask us, like why we're chanting when
3:24
Speaker 3: every USA hitter has to strike, We're basically call him
3:28
Speaker 3: punches or punching in English is a strikeout. So like
3:32
Speaker 3: the entire stadium like chanting strike out every time the
3:36
Speaker 3: USA player has two strikes.
3:37
Speaker 1: That was cool.
3:39
Speaker 5: Did you go with anybody? Was it just you?
3:42
Speaker 3: My cousin, So he gets signed with the Tigers, he
3:47
Speaker 3: played three years and then get released and he's living
3:50
Speaker 3: in Miami right now.
3:53
Speaker 6: Did anybody recognize you because you're I mean, you've been
3:55
Speaker 6: a big league for a long time. Even playing with
3:57
Speaker 6: the Red Sox in spring training there's a lot of Venezuela's.
4:00
Speaker 6: Did they recognize you?
4:02
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to be low key.
4:03
Speaker 3: You know, I got my hoodie, but like some people
4:06
Speaker 3: recognize me, some people reorganize me.
4:09
Speaker 6: You probably had a nice hoodie, probably like maybe some
4:12
Speaker 6: Docia Cabana hoodie with some glasses.
4:16
Speaker 3: No, no, I never buy those type of clothes. So
4:20
Speaker 3: I got fashion Noah right now, like twenty bucks, share
4:23
Speaker 3: like forty bucks.
4:27
Speaker 1: Dance.
4:28
Speaker 3: I like fashion Noah, Fashion Noah, lose fancy ship, I
4:32
Speaker 3: like it.
4:35
Speaker 5: I like it.
4:36
Speaker 4: I got one more question on this whole thing. Did
4:39
Speaker 4: you since you were not playing the next day, did
4:42
Speaker 4: you go out with the Venezuela team after they won
4:46
Speaker 4: the championship? Because I heard they had any decent parties.
4:49
Speaker 4: You didn't go to the party afterwards?
4:51
Speaker 1: Nah?
4:51
Speaker 3: So I was in the group shot, you know, like
4:54
Speaker 3: I was part of like the team before, like the
4:59
Speaker 3: official So it wasn't like the sixty seventy.
5:02
Speaker 1: Players whatever they call like what's up group.
5:06
Speaker 3: But I didn't make the roster because like Omar Lopez said, like, oh,
5:09
Speaker 3: I just get trade.
5:10
Speaker 1: You know, you focus on the on your new team.
5:15
Speaker 3: They don't know you as well, like the Brewers, you know,
5:17
Speaker 3: like those kinds of things like happens before spring training
5:22
Speaker 3: or like before you get trade, and like that's why
5:25
Speaker 3: the reason I didn't make the roster, that was Omar
5:29
Speaker 3: Lopez tell me.
5:30
Speaker 1: And like I didn't. I didn't notificate the guys, like I.
5:35
Speaker 3: Went to the game, you know, I just went to
5:36
Speaker 3: the game enjoy it because that was the first like
5:39
Speaker 3: major sport like Venezuela and being champion. We never being
5:42
Speaker 3: in a World Cup like soccer World Cup. Never, we
5:45
Speaker 3: never win something basketball. So that's the first thing like
5:47
Speaker 3: Venezuela as a major team win something, you know. So
5:52
Speaker 3: that was so special for all the Venezuelan cities. And
5:54
Speaker 3: I just went there support the guys and then I
5:57
Speaker 3: live after the game.

7:51
Speaker 5: great now we could now we can talk red SOX. Yeah.
7:53
Speaker 2: Well, and also the transition, So, like you mentioned, Omar
7:56
Speaker 2: Lopez said, hey, you've got traded focus on that. So,
7:58
Speaker 2: so what was that like for you? I mean, you
8:00
Speaker 2: spent your first few years with the Brewers. That's a
8:03
Speaker 2: well run machine that's been very successful. You head over
8:07
Speaker 2: to Boston. What's it been like for you? Like, what
8:09
Speaker 2: are some similarities differences. I can give you one easy
8:12
Speaker 2: one to start with. Nobody in baseball is like Pat Murphy.
8:15
Speaker 2: He comes up on the show all the time with
8:17
Speaker 2: all of his funny quotes. So no matter what, it's
8:20
Speaker 2: going to be different because you don't have a guy
8:22
Speaker 2: cracking jokes.
8:22
Speaker 5: What's it been like?
8:24
Speaker 3: So my story is like I was in Florida doing
8:30
Speaker 3: my off season work and then I traveled to arisona Saturday,
8:37
Speaker 3: so I shoot my car, I travel there, I do
8:40
Speaker 3: all my stuff. I get there Saturday, and then Monday
8:44
Speaker 3: morning I get trade. So I was in Florida and
8:46
Speaker 3: then travel to Arizona to report to like brew versus
8:50
Speaker 3: Sprint training and two days after that, I have to
8:53
Speaker 3: come back to Florida because I get trade. And I
8:56
Speaker 3: was like I was ready. I was driving to the
8:59
Speaker 3: company something they called me. Guy from the front office
9:02
Speaker 3: called me like, oh you you get trade. And I
9:04
Speaker 3: had to come back to my home waiting for Craig
9:07
Speaker 3: Bridgelow call me. On AC called me. Those guy from
9:10
Speaker 3: the Rexes called me. And then I picked all my
9:12
Speaker 3: stuff in the Brewers compass. And then the next day
9:14
Speaker 3: I traveled to Form Life. So I for either artists
9:18
Speaker 3: on artists on not Florida in like three days spent
9:20
Speaker 3: something like that.
9:22
Speaker 5: How hard? How hard was it?
9:24
Speaker 6: You're going to a new organization you talked about ac
9:28
Speaker 6: and then you're there for a month and a half
9:30
Speaker 6: and the new manager in the new organization that you're
9:33
Speaker 6: just joined gets fired? How hard is that transition been
9:37
Speaker 6: the whole time, not just from him getting fired but
9:40
Speaker 6: then into the organization.
9:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how you said?
9:43
Speaker 3: So I basically I am new here, you know, I
9:46
Speaker 3: just have like two months or two months and a half.
9:49
Speaker 3: So yeah, for every guy, was like tough, but it's
9:52
Speaker 3: something like you can't control, you know, so like this
9:54
Speaker 3: part of business or you have to like move forward,
9:56
Speaker 3: and like we have we have a meeting like after
10:00
Speaker 3: that day in Baltimore, and like we keep going. So
10:03
Speaker 3: I think the guy is playing better and also like
10:06
Speaker 3: we want to be fine. I think we want to
10:08
Speaker 3: play in October. And I believe in my guys. I'm
10:10
Speaker 3: like I pull all my best on my guy. Well,
10:13
Speaker 3: like the thing is like it's something that you cannot
10:15
Speaker 3: have on mind because it's something you can control us
10:17
Speaker 3: a player, you can control that.
10:19
Speaker 1: But it's tough, but like you know, you have to
10:21
Speaker 1: move forward.
10:23
Speaker 2: Do you have a rule where you always have to
10:25
Speaker 2: play with the contrarast So you had William and now
10:27
Speaker 2: you're playing with Wilson. What are those two like in
10:30
Speaker 2: terms of similarities and differences. I mean, you know, Wilson's
10:34
Speaker 2: having a great year and his transition to first base
10:36
Speaker 2: has been great the last few years. But also you know,
10:40
Speaker 2: he's loud, he's eccentric. He often is part of our
10:43
Speaker 2: show in terms of a news or storyline that we hit,
10:46
Speaker 2: you know, with him going back and forth with teams.
10:48
Speaker 2: We love it because he stands out.
10:51
Speaker 3: So it's cool, you know, like you never like when
10:55
Speaker 3: you sign on, when you when you are in the
10:57
Speaker 3: minor league, you never expected like playing with brothers. And
11:00
Speaker 3: also like they are pretty good players, you know, but
11:04
Speaker 3: like I think they are different a little bit. I
11:06
Speaker 3: think they are different. So Wilson, it's I think it's
11:11
Speaker 3: a little more funny than than William. William is like
11:14
Speaker 3: Roki his war like he's a hard worker. I think
11:18
Speaker 3: like Williams. I think they are they are like hard workers.
11:22
Speaker 3: But I think Williams is like a little hard workers
11:25
Speaker 3: and him I remember, like we didn't invite me to
11:27
Speaker 3: the Geen like fight during the morning and said, williamt
11:30
Speaker 3: come on, bro, so fight during the morning spring training,
11:33
Speaker 3: you know, like I know, like Williams, so you know
11:35
Speaker 3: we're gonna play. So by myself, I have to be
11:38
Speaker 3: ready every day when Patmorphy ed me in spring training,
11:41
Speaker 3: so like William made his own schedule, so I have
11:44
Speaker 3: to be ready every day.
11:45
Speaker 1: And William can't come bro, like fight fight in the morning,
11:48
Speaker 1: and he gets mad at me.
11:49
Speaker 3: But like, so that's something like you like as a teammate,
11:53
Speaker 3: you will say, oh, this guy, you know he's gonna
11:55
Speaker 3: be good. You know he's gonna be great when he
11:58
Speaker 3: when his career is down, you know. And it's something
12:01
Speaker 3: I said, like he asking me to join him to
12:05
Speaker 3: be great.
12:06
Speaker 1: You know that's cool.
12:09
Speaker 5: So wait, does does Wilson not ask you to join him? Now?
12:12
Speaker 5: Just William? What I mean? Did they not talk to me?
12:16
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe he's not doing oh yeah, maybe he's not
12:19
Speaker 5: at five am. But I mean, yeah, Wilson.
12:23
Speaker 3: So with Williams in the Brewers, like I hit him within, well,
12:28
Speaker 3: I don't join him in the weight room by hitting
12:30
Speaker 3: with him. And I do the same with William here
12:33
Speaker 3: Wilson here, I hitting with him in the cage and
12:35
Speaker 3: always asking Wilson about like hitting because I want to improve.
12:39
Speaker 3: Like part of my on, my join on my wholeshold
12:43
Speaker 3: every day is like I want to be better because
12:45
Speaker 3: I know where I come from, so.
12:47
Speaker 1: Nobody believe on me.
12:49
Speaker 3: When I was sixteen years old, so my last royale
12:52
Speaker 3: when I was signed by the Cups with five K,
12:55
Speaker 3: and then I remember the guy having in the academy.
12:58
Speaker 1: Said that this is your last right. Yeah, if you
13:00
Speaker 1: don't sign, you go home. So like.
13:04
Speaker 3: Dane Lower, I get my sign when I was sixteen,
13:08
Speaker 3: and now I'm here, you know, like he's a blessing.
13:10
Speaker 3: And also it's something like I can't I come here
13:15
Speaker 3: with nothing and now I'll believe you know, like nobody,
13:19
Speaker 3: no everybody can say if you're playing the buildings, I
13:23
Speaker 3: love that.
13:23
Speaker 6: I love that, and I love that we know that
13:25
Speaker 6: story now too. But you were you were part of
13:28
Speaker 6: both sides of the Wilson contrares getting mad about getting hit.
13:32
Speaker 6: You were you were you watched him get hit when
13:35
Speaker 6: you played for the Brewers, and then you watched him
13:37
Speaker 6: get hit and get mad with the Red Sox.
13:39
Speaker 5: Did he confide in you? Did he talk to you
13:42
Speaker 5: at all? After that? And like, hey, you remember every
13:44
Speaker 5: time that he hit me?
13:47
Speaker 3: So when I when I get to the Brewers, that
13:51
Speaker 3: was his first year with the Cardinals. I think his
13:55
Speaker 3: first or second year with the Cardinals. So like I
13:58
Speaker 3: think the the issues coming when he played with the Cops.
14:02
Speaker 3: So I don't know the entire story about it, but
14:05
Speaker 3: like when he gets hit by here in Boston is
14:08
Speaker 3: because like he said, like the brew would hit him
14:12
Speaker 3: like forty times, you know, like it's like how many
14:14
Speaker 3: times you want to hit me again and again? You know,
14:17
Speaker 3: but like it's something like everybody can get mad when
14:21
Speaker 3: you get like thrill every time, but it's nothing after that.
14:24
Speaker 3: You know, that was the day and after that we
14:26
Speaker 3: don't talking about that because I think, I like, that's
14:31
Speaker 3: the moment you know, when like you get hot all
14:33
Speaker 3: the stuff.
14:34
Speaker 4: Wait, would you who would you have fought though? Who
14:37
Speaker 4: would you have fought on the Brewers? If you guys
14:39
Speaker 4: would have really fought after all that? Who would you
14:42
Speaker 4: would you have picked one guy in the Brewers who
14:43
Speaker 4: was the one guy was a Ben William Catz.
14:46
Speaker 5: You would have been like, I'm standing up for your brother.

Speaker 6: What is the energy like in Fenway compared to you
17:03
Speaker 6: know the playoff runs? Because I always felt like Fenway
17:06
Speaker 6: had just incredible energy, whether the Red Sox were good
17:09
Speaker 6: or they were bad. What is the energy like for
17:11
Speaker 6: you playing in Fenway.
17:14
Speaker 3: A friendly is amazing. So in twenty twenty four I
17:17
Speaker 3: come here with the Brewers. I didn't have the chance
17:19
Speaker 3: to play, to be on the field, but I saw
17:22
Speaker 3: the almost fear here.
17:24
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
17:24
Speaker 3: On like the a inning with the with the sound
17:27
Speaker 3: they have here, that's amazing. Sweet Carolina is amazing. That's
17:32
Speaker 3: something like Monday till Sundays back. You know it's back
17:36
Speaker 3: it and like that's amazing. And I always the fan here,
17:39
Speaker 3: like when you have like the parking here outside the clubhouse,
17:43
Speaker 3: when you want to pick your car, is the fence
17:45
Speaker 3: over there, Like they recognize you, Like I'm also the
17:49
Speaker 3: Rexes fans are like when five years old to like
17:53
Speaker 3: sixty seventy eighties old, so like it's all all the
17:56
Speaker 3: generations like Rexes fans, like all the Rexs all around
18:00
Speaker 3: the CD.
18:01
Speaker 1: I like they're recognize you. That's pretty cool.
18:05
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it is deeply in the fabric of the city.
18:08
Speaker 2: I have one more for you. This has a little
18:11
Speaker 2: bit of relation to what we're talking about with with
18:13
Speaker 2: abnue eBay, but but it's a bigger picture question for you.
18:16
Speaker 5: So he did his thing.
18:17
Speaker 2: Murph didn't like it, but the whole backstory was that
18:20
Speaker 2: they thought, you know, they were they were getting a
18:23
Speaker 2: tip or signs or whatever. It is, right, that stuff
18:26
Speaker 2: happens all the time. So I'm just asking you a
18:29
Speaker 2: general baseball question. How how much is that a part
18:32
Speaker 2: of the everyday game right now? Where you know, one
18:35
Speaker 2: side chirping at the other that they're taking a sign.
18:38
Speaker 2: Because also we've talked about this, AJ can jump in
18:40
Speaker 2: for a second. Nowadays, Sometimes guy's standing on second base
18:44
Speaker 2: and he's just like, I'm going to do this when
18:46
Speaker 2: I see a slider grip and then otherwise I'll be
18:49
Speaker 2: here if it's fastball. So it's changed a lot in
18:51
Speaker 2: the sport, even in the last few years since you
18:53
Speaker 2: were in the majors.
18:55
Speaker 3: So I think that's something like one hundred percent of
18:58
Speaker 3: the game. So, uh, I was part of Brewers and
19:02
Speaker 3: now I'm part of the wrexas, Like we have our
19:04
Speaker 3: heaters meetings every day, and like the Haters meeting, you
19:08
Speaker 3: got something from somebody speaching, you know, so like stealing
19:12
Speaker 3: a basis keeping a second, what else, like something like
19:19
Speaker 3: he's gonna field his position or something like that.
19:21
Speaker 1: You know, it's part of the game. And like I
19:24
Speaker 1: know the preachers are mad about it. But it's part
19:26
Speaker 1: of the game. That's you know, it's part of the game.
19:30
Speaker 5: It is part of the game. You're right, But I
19:31
Speaker 5: need one thing.
19:33
Speaker 4: What's the biggest difference between AC Alex Cora and your
19:37
Speaker 4: new manager? Is there one big difference that you notice?
19:40
Speaker 4: The communication thing?
19:41
Speaker 5: Is it? Is it a way they talk to you?
19:43
Speaker 5: What's the biggest difference?
19:44
Speaker 4: You know, because you know AC was so loved there
19:46
Speaker 4: for so long, and now they just came with a new, new,
19:49
Speaker 4: new group of coaches. What's the one thing you noticed
19:51
Speaker 4: that's the biggest difference.
19:54
Speaker 3: So AC has speak Spanish and chetspeak English. Well, I
20:00
Speaker 3: think it's the same. So Shot Tracy is like power
20:04
Speaker 3: of the AC like coaching stuff, you know, you know
20:07
Speaker 3: what I mean. So, like they always together, so I
20:10
Speaker 3: think they are the same guy. And like they say
20:13
Speaker 3: here like Shot is like power the AC coaching stuff
20:16
Speaker 3: when he was here.
20:18
Speaker 1: So I think it's the same guy.
20:19
Speaker 3: So I always talk into Shot too, So like maybe
20:23
Speaker 3: Shot is like first year in in the big league,
20:26
Speaker 3: you know, so like maybe he's a little shy a
20:28
Speaker 3: little bit, but it's the same guy. So I see
20:30
Speaker 3: and Shot is the same guy. Shot is Shot is
20:33
Speaker 3: a little more quiet, a little more quiet acy. You know,
20:35
Speaker 3: Ac is like jumping, hey, what's that?
20:38
Speaker 1: You know that kind of things. But I think that's
20:40
Speaker 1: the same guy.
20:40
Speaker 3: I always talking to Ac, asking to to I make
20:45
Speaker 3: him questions like I do the same Shot. I'm also
20:49
Speaker 3: floors the bench coach, you know, like he's power of
20:51
Speaker 3: the AC coaching stuff too.
20:53
Speaker 1: So like I think we are the same here.
20:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, chat do too, so chatter person I played against
21:00
Speaker 4: in the minor league, the third base forever.
21:03
Speaker 5: We played against Ebbie forever.
21:05
Speaker 3: I got a question for you guys. Thank you for
21:08
Speaker 3: even buying me, but like why, like why you guys
21:11
Speaker 3: can bite me. This is the first thing I in
21:14
Speaker 3: that show like these. The other thing was when like
21:16
Speaker 3: I hit the homeworks in Cincinnati and like m Bell
21:19
Speaker 3: call me, well that's something like you know, inter beautiful
21:22
Speaker 3: that moment.
21:23
Speaker 1: But now this is my first time in the show
21:25
Speaker 1: like this.
21:26
Speaker 2: So it's a great question. And what we do when
21:29
Speaker 2: we booked guests, we do a combination of things. We
21:31
Speaker 2: talked to teams, we talked to players, we talked to agents.
21:34
Speaker 2: In this case, obviously, we reached out to you online
21:38
Speaker 2: through our account because we didn't know you, right, we
21:40
Speaker 2: didn't know you.
21:41
Speaker 5: We hadn't you know, seen you much in Milwaukee.
21:43
Speaker 4: And you did the you did the one interview last
21:46
Speaker 4: year with Ken Rosenthal. You remember, you got the walk
21:48
Speaker 4: off hit. Oh yeah, and it was awesome.
21:51
Speaker 5: Yeah. And so they're always saying, oh, do you know
21:53
Speaker 5: this guy?
21:53
Speaker 4: And I was like, he did this interview in Milwaukee
21:56
Speaker 4: and and what was the best the most amazing part
21:58
Speaker 4: for me?
21:59
Speaker 5: You did it in English and you did it like
22:01
Speaker 5: this really good.
22:02
Speaker 4: And so we're always trying to find It's hard for
22:05
Speaker 4: us because we don't speak good Spanish. We speak bad Spanish,
22:08
Speaker 4: right for us. Krat stinks he speaks Spanish, but he
22:11
Speaker 4: speaks Spanish like I do. It's like he knows all
22:13
Speaker 4: the bad words and those a couple of good words
22:15
Speaker 4: in there, right. But so we're always looking for Latin
22:19
Speaker 4: guys that can speak English because I love hearing the
22:22
Speaker 4: story of you signing for five thousand dollars, right, and
22:24
Speaker 4: then how you had to work your way up and
