  Speaker 2: of those relationships will we'll have.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Do you talk do you talk smack on the guys
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: at your best friend like, like Salmonie, he's your neighbor,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: whether your best friends or not. Like I had like
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: three home runs in the big leagues, and if I
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: ever hit a home run off with somebody that I know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I still text them to this day. You have a
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: million home runs in the big leagues. It feels like
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: like it's kind of inevitable. Do you talk smack on
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: those guys?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Is there fun banter from a it's fun banter, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not trashing guys. You know, I don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: know which camera is it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: This camera? Oh?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That camera? Yeah, there you go, Jesus clean it up. Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So to be honest, like it's good banter, but it's not.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Jesus.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it's good. It's good banter. Back and forth.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: But I mean the people that the people that I get,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they know it, and the people that get me like
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I know it. So there's no reason to drive it
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: home unless someone's unless someone's getting out of line.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: You know what would be getting out of line, you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Know, just being over egregious, you know, just being just perpetual, perpetual,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: like just rubbing it in, you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Know, like if they punch your ticket.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, well not just not just the line.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: If someone punches your ticket and you hit a homer,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you don't really pin bomers.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So no, it's like it's more like like the in
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the in the dialogue, you know, like if you run
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: into somebody, it's like, oh yeah, it's like for me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it's like I'll be the first one and be like, hey,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you got me, Like like Kyle Gibson, like that dude,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: he's got me in the basement. Like I think I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: got six punches, and every single other ball I put
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: in play is a double play ball. So I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I have more outs than a bat's off of that guy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So like so yeah, that's yeah, he owns me. But
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: like I'll be the first to a minute. But if
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: he texts you and said that but no, it's fine.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But if but if he texts me like every day
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for like a month's yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Get a little tired after a while.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, give me, give me like the nicest guy
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: on earth. So he would probably never do that. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: let's talk about your other team that you've played for.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: We've hit all your other teams Team USA. I get it,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: you didn't watch the game. What do you feel like
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: it's in that environment when you're talking about WBC environment
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: where there's a chance they're eliminated today.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I remember correctly, I think in twenty three,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: losing that Mexico game stunk and it's like there was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like a run differential thing and we had to beat
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Columbia and then like again, like there's a lot of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: number numbers things in pool play. So it's not a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: good spot. Uh, it's not a good spot. I mean, obviously,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: winning the game is best case, So I mean, I hope,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I hope the Boys can can pull it off. But
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: also too, uh felligator Jack cavanone hit a pump, tasty pump, a.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Great bat throw. That's not even a bat flip, that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was a full throw.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so kudos to him, Kudos to team Italy because
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, say, is a great team.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You root for Jack because you guys went to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: same high school.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Personally, Yes, yes, absolutely, also have hit with him a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: couple of times, like in the off season, like he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: he's good. People so stoked for him and his performance.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Probably MVP. Probably probably him, you know, like I mean.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: He's bigger than you. You can't say that about a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, he's yeah, bigger, stronger, Yeah, the whole bit, younger, younger,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: better looking, better looking.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a whole list of things.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, this is that's right, this is this is.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Where this is.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: He said, like, once it gets past the line, then
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: he's going to tell you to get back in line.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: So aj, you may have crossed the line with the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: better looking. No, it's hey, fact, Pete's richer. Pete is richer,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: and everybody it's richer is always better looking. Did they
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: ask you to play? Did they ask you to play
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: for T say this year?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: No, they did not, And that's and that's fine for me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Like I probably would have said probably would have said
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: no because my wife and I were first time parents,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you know, new team, and I think for for us,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: like just from like just from like a personal like
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: personal standpoint. Yeah, the the attorney, the WBC is sick,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: but uh, this wasn't the year to do it. Also
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is asked by Team Italy, which was which was great,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: but again, like the personal circumstance just didn't it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Would you now if you would have played for Italy,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: would you have kicked Vinnie out? Jack?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Who do you?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: That's not my that's not my problem because I'm not
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the manager.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: So because Vinnie's kind of like team he's like the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: godfather of that team. Yeah, yeah, he's passing out, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: he's doing the double kiss wrest.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's great, it's great. But for me,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: like again like from a family thing, like just us
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out baseball and parenthood. Like we're yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: we're just yeah, new team, I get a lot of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of new a lot of new for for
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the Alonso household. So we're just like, hey, let's let's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: just settle in, let's let's figure out, let's figure this
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: whole thing out and then just get ready for the season.

• 9:12
  Speaker 2: guys to get back. I mean obviously, like for me,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: like just walking in here, it's like this is a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: really tight knit group and I'm just really happy that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: they've been super receptive to having me, and I'm really
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: looking forward to help contribute, not just playing, but add
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to the clubhouse. Huge additions from talent, and then also
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: personality wise Chris Bassett, big personality but also absolute dog.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of guys added from trades, like
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Shane Boz probably the most effortless ninety nine miles an
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: hour ever, but again we got talent, and then also
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: like the clubhouse is, I feel like he's in a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: really excellent spot.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like the old guy now? As you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: look around and you see Holiday and Gunner and col
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and Besio and even Adle, do you feel like, Man,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I am just an old guy now?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: No, I mean thirty one, I feel like I'm still
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: like a part like you know, like a part of it,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you know, still still younger. If I was like in
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: my mid thirties, then I would definitely feel that way,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: but like I mean, I'm still I'm still young, so
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like I can really connect with those guys,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: which which is a which is a great thing. I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm I'm a I feel like I'm a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: bridge guy. Like I'm a bridge between like being teammates
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: with like guys like Robbie Cano and like a bunch
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: of super veterans like in the in the past that
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I've played with, like a Max Scherzer justin Verlander, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: then also to like I feel like I'm the bridge
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: between that type of like super ultra vet and then
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to like the super young studs that that are in
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the game now. So it's like I feel like I
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: am really lucky I get to be that bridge and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: kind of like have the best of both worlds.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: If you if you will.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Brought is there one stick that you've brought over? Is
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: there one like gimmick? I mean, we had the playoff Pumpkin,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: we had something or something because it's a new team
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: and you're like, man, this is always fun when we
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: were with the Mets. I want to bring it over
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: with the Orioles now.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: No, I mean honestly, like the like the playoff Pumpkin
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: was like a spur of the moment thing. I mean
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it was just like, hey, this is a good look.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: But again, like that's there's there's definitely there's definitely a
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: time and place for that. But right now I'm just
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: trying to like get get used to the fellas they're
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: trying to get used to me. But I'm excited to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: fight the fight with these guys. You know, like this
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: is a talented group. But I love the day to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: day grind in the season. I love the I love
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the like just the whole the whole journey of the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: season where it's like this whole endurance thing, like the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: whole endurance about like the war of attritions, like the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: day to day stuff. So I'm excited to get into
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that with these guys.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Before you signed her to you say you have to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: move the fences in and you have to put up
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a giant scoreboard to block the wind because Cannon was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: always a great.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Place to hit. Yeah, for sure.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And then like we're gonna we're gonna make it impossible
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to hit a homer to left field.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Well, Mike, Mike made it, made a joke. He's like, hey,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: we we tracked it out. You're gonna be a free
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: agent and stuff like that. So we made sure that
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: we moved the fences in for you beforehand, so we
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: didn't have to uh be behind the eight ball when
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you when you came here. So he did. He didn't
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: make a joke early on.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: How how how much conversation did you did you actually
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have with like Mike Olias before you came here? Is
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it all Boris?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Just no, no, no, no is is. Yeah. Well I think
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it was really good dialogue, especially like that started in November,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: uh with with him and Scott. But then eventually like
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: we had a obviously an incredible, incredible meeting with him
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and him and out.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I drove.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I drove, No, it was easy. He drove to Baltimore, No, Orlando.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I thought you were like yeah, no, no.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: No, what do you call me?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I could have sat in. I just would have been like, hey,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: what's up guys.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I was being selfish. I didn't want
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to give you a cut. I was being selfish.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: You're known as a selfish guy, so yeah, save it,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: save it. So okay, so you drove this is during
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: winter meeting. Yeah, yeah, So this came together kind of
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: fast for you on your end, well maybe not I'm
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Scott and Mike, but on your end.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Man, No, not really because I was prepared to do
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it because that's something I told Scott. I'm like, hey,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I'm only an hour away, like like team's already there,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: like I know, like they have other like other things
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: because it's the Winter meetings. But again, like I like, again,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: if people are, if teams are apt to me and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: willing to meet, I don't want to do the whole
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: zoom thing because I don't think that's it's it's not
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: as sincere and like them wanting to like meet in person.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hell, like willing to shake someone's hand, looking
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in the eye. It's like this is I think that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: it's different. It brings a whole it's a whole new sentiment,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you know, where it's it's more meaningful that way.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, we were at Winter Meetings and it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: happened quick because we were sitting there and I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you went first, and then Edwin went right after, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: everyone was like, holy crap, what just happened In a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: span of it seemed like it was like ten minutes.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I know it was a little bit longer than that. Yeah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and we were all sitting there and I forget it.

  Speaker 1: He was like, oh wait, what's happening.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I I gotta go.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So, I mean this has happened fast for at least
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: for hours from the outside. Yeah, I'm sure, but like
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's plenty of dialogue. There's plenty of dialogue,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Like like.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You could have just come on and done your first

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: No one, yeah, no one, No one in the Winter Meetings,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: no one saw you. No, no one saw me as
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: a ghost.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: That's impossible because there's seven billion people in the lobby and.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Quarters.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he so he looked like he just looked
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: like a regular GM with tube socks and a quarter zip.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I get tube socks on clouds and quarter zip and
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: some and some khaki pay your dad now the dad
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: outfits and all. I don't say that, I'm not saying.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just not saying it's a bad thing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Did you did you have a chance to sit with
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: other teams, because I could hear how important that is
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: to you to that that like face to face honesty
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: and interaction. Did you have a chance to say, yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I'll talk to you guys if you want to sit
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: down with me, because that means they're serious.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: No, for sure, But I it's just like after after
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: the Baltimore meeting, it was just like like this, this
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: is it. This is it so I And obviously like
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: we had some incredible dialogue leading up to that point.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But again, like for me, like after after Craig and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Mike left the room, I honestly like after they pretty
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: much walked me through showed me the whole blueprint of everything,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: like the stadium plans, not just the renovations this year,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: but the like kind of like some outlining some certain
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: things that they're going to be doing and the like
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: we'll be getting a new clubhouse next year in Baltimore.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's big news because that those lockers, those
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: lockers have been there since like before Brady got there.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Well that and then also too they want they were
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: very very proud of, like the new spring training facility
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: that we got, Yeah, and hitting it and using it
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: every day. It's been I think has been really useful
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: for me in my prep for the season. So again,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: like it's is I think this is the like we
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: have new ownership, new everything, new facilities. Like I think
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's like the perfect storm of like building momentum and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: pretty much like changing the direction of the of the franchise,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: which is which is exciting to be a part of.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for the Al East?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you came from the NLS to the small market,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: so now you're jumping up to the ALIS.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Of course. I mean this is this is big time baseball,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean obviously tough division, but it's the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: big leagues. Everyone's tough. Like the margin of the margin
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: of talent between the best and the worst team, Like
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you can look at it like objectively, it's like, yeah,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: this is these are the best in the world. Like
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: people talk about the Al East, But okay, how about
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: not dropping games against non divisional opponents. That's how you
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: close the gap. I mean it's the big leagues can
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: take a day or night off. So it's like people
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: talk about all like division and division. It's like even
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: with my previous club, everyone was focused on division. But okay,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: well why do we drop the series? If we didn't
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: drop last series, then we wouldn't have to be so
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: overly focused and and and too tight right now, like
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the year. Take care of business
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: on the daily. You don't have to oversteer and and
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and and hold on too tight, you know. So that's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: that's my thing. It's like, if you win the day
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to day, you don't have to over exaggerate the division stuff.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You got me fired up? Can you get some oriial gear? Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: if you want even have the quarters of on right now,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that's right dull because then you can make all the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: people at home too excited.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: So it's not sure, yes, it's early in the morning.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Don't want people to get too excited.

  Speaker 3: It's nice. I had to rip, So thanks Pete. To
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: name one that's wondering that. But what's rehab like?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I've lived the Handmaid, but luckily mine was in the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: off season, So what's the what's the rehab explained to people?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: What it's like? Yeah, it's pretty straightforward from what I understand.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, the morning's kind of start off with me
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: getting tortured to take a little scalp pool and scrape it,
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: try to break up the scar tissue, and then lots
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: of armcare so hopefully I.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Come back throw in like one hundred miles an hour and.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Playing catch and and I did a lot of one
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: hand swings early and now I'm progressing into te flips,
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: darts and hopefully.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Your left elbow gets sore from just a little hand, yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: just a little surprisingly, Yeah, but I'm a nice strong
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: top hand.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna h on a swing limit like pictures
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: when they come back from injuries were on a pitch count, limb.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: There's a swing limit right now, but it's like thirty
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: swings off the tee, which I don't think i'd ever do,
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: but just trying to build up volume, and I'm not
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: one hundred percent sure. Hopefully I'm not swinging too much
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: in the games and working counts, but uh, I don't
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: think there'll be a swing a minute.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Say, so I start get rolling. Did you know it
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: immediately when you did it? Did you know it immediately?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Because some people have different different feels of what happens
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: when it happens.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a little sore. I mean I just
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: started ramping up in spring. I got down here the
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: first of February and had nothing that I hadn't experienced before.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: And then I took one swing and live at bats
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: and it did not feel good. And I went to
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: pick up my bats to potentially go up and hit again,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: and I was like, yeah, that's that's really not good.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Then we went ran and I went to open a
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: water bottle and I couldn't open a water bottle, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: I was like, I think I might have done something,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: and went on went on chat GPT and typed in
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: one of the sentence of a hammate, and I checked
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: all the boxes and went to the training room and yep,
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: sure enough, so I definitely knew on one swing Chad
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: GPT was Yeah, it was water, water bottles, paint on
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: the back of your hand, just pretty much all of them.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who was the pitcher? Be why Brandon Young? Was he? Now?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Was he talked trashing? And be like I broke your hand?
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't I think he probably want
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: that pitch back. It was like a high change up
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: the game.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You swung at it, yeah and missed or hit it. Yeah, strikeouts,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: broken hands, strike out. Oh so he definitely could talk trash. Yeah. Yeah,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: he's so nice, though he probably won't. That's so great.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: You said you can do everything defensively because it's right. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you can take grounders, you can keep your legs. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: saw you out there running and keep your legs in shape.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yep. So that's a goal throw yep.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: Limit limit as much time when I'm coming back, so
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: I'll be ready to play defense and able to take
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: grounders with the team. And so that's been good work
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: with Iro, which is our new intol guy, and it's
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: been great.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Being injured and being young. Do you feel like you
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: get more of the brunt of guys making jokes or
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: like ribbing you because they're like, you're like nineteen years old?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: How on earth did you get hurt? Like nobody gets
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: hurt until they're like twenty eight. Do you get more
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: ribbing from your teammates because you're on the il right now?
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: I don't think right now, because it's a real broken bone.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Maybe if it was like a strain in my like
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: calf or hamstring, probably would get some from guys. But
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I guess since I had surgery, I think there's a
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: little bit of a leeway for that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: But no one. No one's really giving me a hard
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: time about that. But uh, I know we're golf of them.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I can't go. I don't think he was
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: talking some serious after about you or Yeah, Ruch likes
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to give me a little bit of a he says,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you never given anything back.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I was.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: I was telling somebody in there that I think it's
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: like an older brother thing. Like the younger brothers, like
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: my little brother Reed will give us like some serious
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: cut deep jabs, and I think it's it's the job
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: of the older brother to kind of be the peacemaker.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: So I'm working on it. Me and Heston Kursa. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: go back and forth a little bit in ping pong
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: and we we we live together right now in spring
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: and we play Mario Kart, and so I definitely give
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: it to him a little bit more, but I'm holding
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: back for ruts whenever I can go out and smash
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: him in golf. So I'm just saving it for the
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: right time to really get in there when I need it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you're watching WBC your dad as a coach.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I just saw him in Houston. We'll try to sell
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: me your house, by the way, which is amazing. I'm like, yeah,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I'm good on still Water. Yeah, but how much are
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: you watching? I'm watching you stayed up, Well, you're not playing,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: so I guess, yeah, that is easier.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: I still get pretty tired because even though I'm on
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: the I l I guess I feel like I still
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: do and extremely am out of a lot of stuff
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: in the sun so I am a little tired. I
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: do run a lot. Yeah, I spent a lot of
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: time running, So I watch usually like the first half
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: of the game, especially last night starting at nine o'clock.
• 25:01

  Speaker 4: What was your reaction to the game last night though,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: when you're watching it, were you like dang or were
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: you like I thought this could happen?
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it at least got a really a
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: really good lineup. Sorry, this is off. I think we're good.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Now that's good, can get three.
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: I mean they have a good lineup, and they came
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: out early. I actually spent a lot of time with
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Nolan and and.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: We're pretty good buddies. So after the first thing, I
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: thought he was.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Gonna strike every single person out, but it was also
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: really cool to see him out there. But they took
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: some really good swings. I mean, it's he's a really
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: good picture, but they took some really good swings and
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: it's tough to battle back against good pictures. So I
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: got a little nervous, I'm not gonna lie when I
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: started watching it, and then I went to bed hoping
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: maybe they'll give him some good luck. And when I
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: woke up, they tried, They tried, they battled back.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: But uh, that should be interesting.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: You wanna you want to try to play it in WBC,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Like is international Baseball? Is that something you want to
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: be a part of, because I think the next one
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: is possibly the Olympics.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, absolutely.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately, the year I made the USA team in high
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: school was right after COVID, so we played Canada in
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: seven games actually here at ed Smith, So, uh, I
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: would love to experience that. Me and he actually got
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: invited to play for Team Italy. You and me and
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: my brother, You think, I yeah, Italy, my grandpa and
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: his side of the family.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Oh they doesn't sound very Italian. Yeah no, no, it

• 28:29
  Speaker 3: He would he would call me.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: We would watch the game towards the end of the
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: year when he got to to go and play, and
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: we'd be playing cards on the plane.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I'd be watching him, and I mean it's tough.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, you go from high school, especially in Oklahoma,
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: you have good competition, but not every day you're facing guys.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Theron ninety two, one hundred miles an hour and he
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: struggled a little bit. He'd called me, He's like, I
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: struck out four times again, and I'm like sitting here
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: with Kwser and Gunner and Adlie, and I'm like, dude.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: We all strike out a lot. It's just part of it,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: especially coming from high school. And but he's doing good.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: He was freaking out a little bit early in spring.
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: He said he struck out four times and Live at
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Bats and I'm like, he's in big league camp. No, No,
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: he's Minley camp. And then two days ago I get
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: a text He's like, I hit two homers and two
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: doubles in Live at Bats and I'm like, just part
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: of it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Just gotta just spend entire off season up facing a
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: lot of pictures. So it's been fun to kind of
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: help him.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Navigate that, and obviously as my dad in Arizona, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: but it's been fun.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: To knowing your family as close as I know your family.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: You know, I play with Matt and you know we've
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: been part of PAO together for years. You guys are
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: a close knit family. AJ mentioned it. The fact that
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: you guys are that they're selling the house that's kind
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: of like a place to come back to in the
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: off season. Is that tough being a young player in
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: the big leagues, It's like, Okay, the season's over, it's
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: time to come back together. Is it tough to not
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: to be able to go home to the last house
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: or if they sell it, to the last place that
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: you know, you guys lived, And how important is that
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: to have that family time in the off season.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: My family is very close, but I think we we
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: always have that place just wherever.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: The family is. That's kind of home.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: I know growing up in baseball, that's kind of how
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: I grew up in my family. Kind of motto is
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: we we always traveled with my dad, and we lived
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: in New York, we lived in Saint Louis, we lived
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: everywhere that he played. So as much family as we
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: do have in Oklahoma, it doesn't really matter where that is.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Me and my wife bought a place down here, so
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: we'll spend some time in Sarasota and and and go
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: out to Arizona as well. And so I think it's
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: just always homes where the family is right and so uh,
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: that's kind of how our family roles. We've had a
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: lot of experience moving as I'm sure they could tell
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: you so, uh that that won't be much.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Of a problem.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: Obviously, the house in Oklahoma has been has been incredible
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: and in my family has had a had a big
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: impact on on that community. As far as hos some
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Bible studies, uh every Sunday night for all the athletes
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: at the college, and so we'll miss that aspect, but uh,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: as far as as family, it'll be just fine.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Your dad's a hitting coach for Team USA. Like we
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: mentioned before, what do you think of him as a
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: hitting coach? And you can and you can be honest
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: like you're the oldest son. The oldest son doesn't always
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: have to be you know, the right file the rules
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: like it's okay if you want to be honest and
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: really give it to us.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: How he is as a hitting.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: Coach, I think he's a great hitting coach. I'm not
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: sure how much he has to do on the USA
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: team with with all of those guys. I think he
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: just kind of puts the ball on the tee what
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: we were talking about.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: He just just sets the ball right there and he flips.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: He said, he's he said, his arm is his folders
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: foor from flipping.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: So yeah, he's he doesn't have to do much with
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: those guys, so uh, but I do think he's a
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: good hitting coach, and he's had a lot of experience
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: with with some great teammates and and I think he
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: has a has a really good understanding of of the
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: swing and approach and and that's that's kind of my
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: unbiased opinion.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: But he's also still bigger than you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't really say anything mean or also just
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: you know, it's still still a little bit bigger and stronger.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: So uh, maybe one day I'll grow into it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I'm still waiting. But uh, yeah, I do think he's
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: good hit catch.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got too pretty high picks as kids,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So I think he did something you tellt you guys something.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Along the way.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every now and every now last thing for me,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be ready for opening Day? Are
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you not going to be ready for Opening Day? I'm
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure. It's it's coming up quick,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and it's about two weeks. Yeah, I think it'll be
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: most likely.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Obviously, my goal is to try to be ready and
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: and and be in a position to to be ready.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: But the most important part is being healthy and when
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: I do roll back out there. It's it's uh, it's
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: one hundred percent ready to to go out there and
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: be the best second.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Basement I can be.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: And so that's kind of the the outlook that I have.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Obviously be ready as fast as possible, but making sure
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: that I'm ready to.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Go back down to Norfolk. Hit some dangers. Yeah, yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I think the first weeks in Memphis, so uh, I'll
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: be playing the against the Cardinals. Yeah. Yeah, so your
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: dad's going to the Cardinals Hall of Fame. I think
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: he's been in it for he went in on that.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, someone was going in I saw this year and
• 33:17

• 33:20
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm not higher sure, but.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: I would guess not just because of kind of a
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: slower progression because of my throne.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Him.
