  Speaker 1: All Right. I gotta ask why is he not playing?
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: I flipped on the Dominican Winter League or the Caribbean
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: World Series in Mexicali. No Junior Camonero playing for the
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: Dominican team. Is it because he was too tired and
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: it took him so long to go around the bases
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: and he took all his energy out and the rays
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: were like.
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: No Moss, no moss.

• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the finals that he would let him play the finals.

  Speaker 2: him from God.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Whose who stay? Redacto? Did they draft you?
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: The Escohito drafted because in the Dimini Again, sometimes our
• 4:00
  Speaker 10: fans don't necessarily know this. One team drafts you when
• 4:04
  Speaker 10: you're like sixteen, and then you don't play for him
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: for a little bit. Were you were you drafted by them?

  Speaker 5: Like?
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, was Albert Poohles giving you a high five
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: after you hit the home run. What's Albert Pooles like
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: as a manager? Because now I've heard he wants to
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: be a big league manager. So did Junior Camanio push
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Albert Pooles to be an MLB manager?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: One day?
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Possibly got kids Albert manager.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: By mere.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: So.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: He said that Arbert was so resourceful to him that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: he even had to apologize one day and he said,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm bothering you so much, but I just
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: want to learn and take all.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I came from a legend and a future Hall of
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Famer like you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But he said he was He was great. He was
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: always available to him and he was a great influence
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on on this experience with him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That is a baller trophy to that we're looking at
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: right now. How was that last series? Obviously it was
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: an amazing series to watch from a competition standpoint, But
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: how was the rivalry?
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So, there was of course a lot of chirping, And
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I'm always curious about the dynamic between going crazy and
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: showing off, you know, your best enthusiasm and best antics,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you know, versus trash talk. So was there both and
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: if so, did it ever escalate to you know, too
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: crazy of a time. Obviously you you had your fun
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: during Game four too with the dugout.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Because and.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: It Lon then can again finale. They know, they know Salue.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Simple.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: He said.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: It was a unique experience, something he had never experienced before.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: A lot of trash talking, especially from the fans. You know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: he plays their base and he's playing on the side
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and they have other fans on on that side of
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the stadium, and and he got you know, he got
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to him. And but he he listened a lot too,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and was a was a big influence on him as well,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: trying to get him to not take it so and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: tried not to listen to it. Advised him to get
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: up social media during that week and not pay attention
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to any of that and just like try to quite
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the noise.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: He said, he'll learned a lot from it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Is he watching I want to know is he watching
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: the Caribbean series on the TV? Because I've watched it
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: the last couple of days and I love the atmosphere.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: So is he is he watching it? And is he
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: upset that he's not?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I want to see him play, so I'm
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: kind of like upset deep down.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: I turned it on and I don't see him, is it?
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: No? No? But key boy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: He said that he hasn't been able to watch because
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: he's on vacation with his fiance. He hasn't been able
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to watch the games. But they actually called him yesterday.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Apparently it's a four hour drive from La and they
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: they saw that he was in La and they wanted
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: him to make the dry down there to watch the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: game and the dog because apparently all the other teams,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: like all the other countries, media has been asking where
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he is, especially the Japanese media. Uh, they've been pushing
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of the Dominican team asking why why he's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: not why he's not there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: In that in that finals, because you were on the
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: because you're on the lea least side. Did you ever
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: feel unsafe? Because so many times people are like, oh,
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: I never feel safe when I'm in Venezuela or Dominican.
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: When I was down there, I never felt unsafe. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: did you feel safe because you were close? There was
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: a lot there's a lot of these safe fans pretty
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: close to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: The water said I and momental things no no no,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: and then you okay again, let no d n a.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: But she mentioned maybear fly Tomento.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Know.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: So he said he didn't feel like.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Anything life strending because you know, there's a lot of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: security to get into the stadium. But he did feel
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: nervous sometimes that they could throw a bottle of him,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: uh or or any other object. There was a time
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: where he caught a fly ball and foul territory right
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: by the net and they try to grab him. They
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: try to, you know, get physical, and and that that
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: did make him nervous.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: When he got to the net.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: They they knew all his family, all the names in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: his family, and they make sure that he heard all
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: They're pro hecklers.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: That that is true.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I will say.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: New York. You know it's now in New York.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: They got rid of those bozos. They can't they can't
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: go to games. The two guys that grabbed the mookie bets.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: So we got rid of those two. You saw that,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: all right? So I want to ask a couple of
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: baseball or MLB related questions here for Junior number one.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, this season obviously high expectations, but you're going
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: to be playing at the Yankee spring training home. Are
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you excited, disappointed or don't really care about the situation
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: because it is a minor league park. But I actually
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: think you're gonna get just as many fans, just in
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: a different way. You're gonna probably get almost sell out
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: crowds of eleven thousand. I think the attendance last year
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: in a much bigger park was only in the twelve thirteen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: Thousando per.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Locate in Shampi, you know, the.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Tampa.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: This is not worry about it, but he does feel
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: that with this the location of this field, unlike Sampede
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that is such a long drive for Tempa residents, that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: they're actually going to get better crowds in in the
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: stadium and it's probably gonna get a lot of sellout
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: crowds and it might make the environment more exciting.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: He said that he's.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Talked to Cash and Cash has shown him pictures and
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: videos of the weight room and the clubhouse and and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: all the uh stuff that they're working on to make
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it MLB standards.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: So he's they're all excited about it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: Ken mentor on the race? Who's who's a mentor on
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: the race for you? Is there somebody you go to
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: mentor come mentor like a like a leader.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Like ok.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Mmhmm, okay, yo, Yeah, we love Yandy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mostly just listens to the veterans like Yandy and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: anyone with more service time.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: This is a very young team. There's not a lot
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: of veterans presence.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's often the case with the Rays. All right,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I got one more. I think these guys will do
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: their last questions after that. So, you know, taking you
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: a few years back, you get traded from Cleveland to
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: the Race. From what I recall at the time, they're
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: like forty man roster crunch. It's for Tobias Meyers, who
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: ends up actually being a nice picture on Milwaukee. But
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: at the time, were you like, wait, they're trading me
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because you were so young, did you kind of grasp
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: what was going on?
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: And you know, how did it affect you?
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: And you know, a million town. Yeah, you gotta say.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Okay in Cleveland.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: And metallic negotio in games for you in the.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Momento, Yeah, I say it was h It was shocking
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and uncomfortable at the beginning because he was so young
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one that going into a new organization
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: he was going to have to start from scratch building
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: relationships and friendships and and trust and and all that.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: So it was he was shocking for him, especially at
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: such a young age.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Understood it makes sense it turned out.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, I gotta know if the Rays make
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: the playoffs and it goes to a Game seven and
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: he hits a home run in the ninth.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Inning, will we see.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: Okay, dude, that's my face.

  Speaker 1: how high?
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: More?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: More?
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Is that like if it was if there was a
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: building next to it, it would have hit the tenth floor?
• 18:02
