3:17
Speaker 2: So I don't really do too much, all right.
3:20
Speaker 5: So I'm not sure how this is gonna go. So
3:23
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call for a video of your home run
3:25
Speaker 5: to center field in San Diego. I'm not sure who
3:28
Speaker 5: you hit it against. And as we watch the home run,
3:33

Speaker 5: back on. Oh he did, But tell me, tell me,
3:41
Speaker 5: tell me what happens right.
3:44
Speaker 4: Here? Were you?
3:46

3:49
Speaker 5: you've been showing off ever since you've been on FT
3:52
Speaker 5: for about three minutes?
3:53
Speaker 4: Here were you showing them? Were you showing them the
3:55
Speaker 4: rolex that he bought you?
3:57
Speaker 2: Yeah?
3:58
Speaker 3: So, Manny, honestly, he's literally my big brother. I talked
4:01
Speaker 3: to him literally every day. He's he's helped me every
4:06
Speaker 3: step of the way. I wouldn't be here in this
4:08
Speaker 3: position without him. He's changed my life, his family. Yeah,
4:13
Speaker 3: and we had a little story. I mean, I mean
4:15
Speaker 3: a lot of people know about the story already, but
4:17
Speaker 3: kind of He had told me, look, you're in the
4:19
Speaker 3: minor leagues. When you make it, don't worry about the Rolex.
4:22
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you one. And the first day I
4:24
Speaker 3: got to San Diego, he said, hey, you think I forgot, Like.
4:27
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't forget, and then yeah, got me this.
4:31
Speaker 3: So I thought it was just a I thought it'd
4:34
Speaker 3: be funny if when I passed by, I let him know, like, hey,
4:36
Speaker 3: I still rock the chador, you know. But yeah, he's
4:40
Speaker 3: he's he's family to me, literally, like he is a
4:44
Speaker 3: brother to me. And I just thought it'd be kind
4:46
Speaker 3: of funny, you know, around in the bases, and he
4:49
Speaker 3: thought it was hilarious.
4:50
Speaker 2: So it was a good time. Something I will never
4:51
Speaker 2: forget for sure.
4:52
Speaker 4: That's big.
4:53
Speaker 5: That's big league awareness by you to be going around
4:56
Speaker 5: to hit a dinger off of Michael King dead center
4:58
Speaker 5: and then you're going around second basically look at Manny like, yeah,
5:02
Speaker 5: I appreciate, I appreciate you making me feel comfortable. But man,
5:05
Speaker 5: he's got man, he's got kind of a bad rep
5:07
Speaker 5: sometimes some of the stuff he's done. Can you tell
5:10
Speaker 5: us something that would make us not think that or
5:15
Speaker 5: make us like whoa many does that? Because gifted a
5:19
Speaker 5: dude who's really not like your connection just goes back
5:23
Speaker 5: a long ways. But gifted a dude a Rolex for
5:25
Speaker 5: when he makes the big leagues, that's big time. So
5:28
Speaker 5: tell us something about Manny that maybe people don't know.
5:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, honestly, if if you feel like that's
5:35
Speaker 3: a bad rep, that that's something that you need to
5:37
Speaker 3: look at.
5:38
Speaker 2: He's an amazing person, an amazing teammate.
5:42
Speaker 3: He he looks after everybody, and he's someone that when
5:45
Speaker 3: he does things for people, he doesn't want any recognition.
5:48
Speaker 3: He doesn't want it, and that's that's when he that's
5:50
Speaker 3: when he knows someone's a good person. He I mean,
5:53
Speaker 3: he's he does everything behind the scenes. Look at his foundations.
5:57
Speaker 3: He's always looking after people. He's a great teammate, locker room.
6:01
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know why people would have that
6:04
Speaker 3: that view.
6:05
Speaker 2: He's he's I mean he's a leader. Look at what
6:08
Speaker 2: he's done with the padres.
6:09
Speaker 3: I mean, I can go on and on. He's such
6:11
Speaker 3: a great person. He's a great father, he's a great husband,
6:14
Speaker 3: he's a great friend.
6:16

7:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, in the off season, I kind of just
7:47
Speaker 3: get up, I train and that I love football. I
7:49
Speaker 3: mean I love football. Me and my boys back home,
7:52
Speaker 3: we love football. So we entered the what we call
7:55
Speaker 3: the dungeon, which is my boy's house.
7:57
Speaker 2: He's got a little.
7:57
Speaker 3: Room with a huge TV. Go into the dungeon. We
8:01
Speaker 3: order some wings and then kick it, like what guys
8:03
Speaker 3: like love to do. I mean, sit there, watch some TV,
8:07
Speaker 3: eat some wings, and then just relax.
8:08
Speaker 2: Honestly, so I don't do much hang.
8:11
Speaker 3: Out with my girlfriend, and and yeah, it's pretty much it.
8:16
Speaker 3: See my girl, hang out with my with my best buddies,
8:19
Speaker 3: watch football with Manny and Yonder, I mean, watch football
8:22
Speaker 3: with my dad.
8:23
Speaker 2: I just kind of spend a lot of family time.
8:25
Speaker 3: Usually in the season, we have a we have a
8:27
Speaker 3: lot going on, and we can't really spend a lot
8:29
Speaker 3: of quality time with the with the people we care about.
8:31
Speaker 2: So when I'm back home, that's pretty much all I do.
8:35
Speaker 5: Wait, wait, wait, it's not gonna change. Like, you're not
8:37
Speaker 5: making eight different plans. You're a big leaguer. I get it.
8:40
Speaker 5: Your coffee is still a little bit hot, your first
8:42
Speaker 5: cup of coffee.
8:43
Speaker 4: But you're a big leaguer. Now, nothing's gonna change. You're
8:46
Speaker 4: not gonna take like a trip or nothing. You're just
8:48
Speaker 4: still going into the dungeon and watching football.
8:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't change just because what I like, just
8:54
Speaker 2: because I made it.
8:54
Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't done anything. And even if I
8:56
Speaker 3: do that, I won't change who I am. That's not me.
8:59
Speaker 2: I go to church and I watch football. It's pretty
9:03
Speaker 2: much all I do.
9:04
Speaker 5: All right, Well, what happens if the Reds do this thing,
9:07
Speaker 5: do this thing that everybody's kind of looking around maybe
9:10
Speaker 5: some people are hating, but I would assume the feeling
9:14
Speaker 5: in the clubhouse is like, Hey, we're not making any
9:16
Speaker 5: plans for October. Do you feel that in this clubhouse.
9:20
Speaker 5: I know you've never been in a Pennant race in
9:22
Speaker 5: the big leagues, but tell me what you're hearing from
9:25
Speaker 5: the boys in and on the team and around the
9:28
Speaker 5: team right now.
9:30
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of understood what the job is, and
9:33
Speaker 3: the job is to go out there and focus on
9:35
Speaker 3: ourselves and go and play to win. Honestly, we're not
9:38
Speaker 3: focused on any other team right now, and that's pretty
9:41
Speaker 3: much the kind of what we're all doing right now.
9:44
Speaker 3: We're just like, hey, let's take day by day, let's
9:46
Speaker 3: go out and win, Let's take care of what we
9:47
Speaker 3: need to take care of, and then if everything falls
9:49
Speaker 3: in line, it'll fall in line. But we definitely don't
9:52
Speaker 3: have plans for October, and we're gonna keep on going
9:56
Speaker 3: out and playing hard and playing to win.
9:59
Speaker 1: Sally, I want to ask you you about your game,
10:01
Speaker 1: and I'll let you handle most of this, but was
10:04
Speaker 1: there an approach change at some point this season? Because
10:08
Speaker 1: you know, I follow the prospect world pretty closely. We
10:10
Speaker 1: have a baseball America Show and you're on some of
10:13
Speaker 1: the reports there, like look at the pull power coming in.
10:16
Speaker 1: So can you walk us through what you've changed this
10:18
Speaker 1: season if anything?
10:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a lot of people were like dying
10:24
Speaker 3: for like how come he doesn't hit more homers?
10:26
Speaker 2: How come he doesn't pull the ball? How come he doesn't?
10:29
Speaker 2: And like that all comes with time. Like when we're.
10:31
Speaker 3: Back training, we're all focused on being a good hitter first,
10:35
Speaker 3: being able to hit to all parts of the field,
10:37
Speaker 3: being able to do what's necessary in the game.
10:39
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't need a kind of you don't
10:41
Speaker 2: need a homer in every situation.
10:43
Speaker 3: There's some situations in the game where obviously a homer
10:45
Speaker 3: would be great, but to help a team win sometimes
10:48
Speaker 3: that's not the case. So we were just focused on
10:51
Speaker 3: being a good hitter first. And then once I got
10:54
Speaker 3: to like double A and then tripa A, and I
10:57
Speaker 3: started to.
10:57
Speaker 2: Realize like, hey, these balls, all I have to do
10:59
Speaker 2: is just just meet the ball, just touch the.
11:01
Speaker 3: Ball and they'll take off. Everything kind of settled there
11:05
Speaker 3: with me and in regards to my power, so I
11:07
Speaker 3: was never really too much worried about it. I want
11:09
Speaker 3: to be a good hitter first, and then knowing the
11:11
Speaker 3: power would come later.
11:13
Speaker 4: That's an advanced approach to hitting.
11:15
Speaker 5: If anybody wants to just rewind that and listen to
11:17
Speaker 5: advanced approach. But I want to ask you, maybe maybe
11:20
Speaker 5: you don't even know this story, but you know Yonder,
11:22
Speaker 5: you know many many told Yonder one year when he
11:26
Speaker 5: was when he was still playing, when Yanner was still playing.
11:29
Speaker 5: He's like, hey, if you want to hit with me
11:30
Speaker 5: in the off season, you're gonna have to start hitting
11:33
Speaker 5: for some power. Because Yonder, this dude had a joystick.
11:36
Speaker 5: He was just like, oh, whoop, base it up the middle, Whoop,
11:38
Speaker 5: base it over over the shortstop head. And all of
11:41
Speaker 5: a sudden, Yonder's putting some balls out of the ballpark.
11:45
Speaker 5: And Yonder told that story, he said, hey, He's like, man,
11:48
Speaker 5: he was like, hey, you can't hit with me unless
11:50
Speaker 5: you start hitting the ball at the bar park. And
11:52
Speaker 5: then he just turned it on.
11:53
Speaker 4: Is it that easy? Is it that easy for Miami guys?
11:58
Speaker 2: I don't know.
11:58
Speaker 3: Yonder was such a good player for him and not
12:01
Speaker 3: have been that easy. But everything I've done was in
12:05
Speaker 3: the minor league. So maybe next year once, if I
12:07
Speaker 3: do it in the babies, then we can talk about it,
12:09
Speaker 3: but me and Yonder had such a great career, and
12:13
Speaker 3: obviously Manny's great career. But yeah, I mean that's what
12:16
Speaker 3: we talk about, being a good hitter and then and
12:18
Speaker 3: then the power will come, and I mean it just shows,
12:20
Speaker 3: like the power is just like when you hit a homer,
12:23
Speaker 3: it's kind of a mistake swing, Like I'm trying to
12:25
Speaker 3: hit a hard line drive through the middle and then
12:27
Speaker 3: if I just get a little under it, then it
12:29
Speaker 3: takes off out to center.
12:30
Speaker 2: So that's pretty much.
12:32
Speaker 3: Our our, like I guess, our our way of thinking
12:37
Speaker 3: and what we're trying to do at the plate.
12:40
Speaker 1: All right, sal were you surprised that you got called
12:44
Speaker 1: up this season? Like how was it going throughout the year?
12:46
Speaker 1: Did you think that you were going to get the call?
12:48
Speaker 1: And obviously you get to get called up to a
12:51
Speaker 1: team that's in the mix for a playoff spot. And
12:54
Speaker 1: also on top of that, what was the call up?
12:57
Speaker 2: Like?
12:57
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I mean a lot of things get posted.
12:59
Speaker 1: You might have had one too, I just don't remember.
13:01
Speaker 1: But was there a good story behind when you found out?
13:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, in regards to like knowing I was gonna get
13:07
Speaker 2: caught up, I honestly had no idea.
13:09
Speaker 3: I'm uh I would. I would pray every night and
13:13
Speaker 3: just tell Jesus, Jesus, give me just like calmness and
13:16
Speaker 3: knowing that you're you're timing and your.
13:18
Speaker 2: Plan is perfect. So I was just in the minor leagues.
13:21
Speaker 3: I was really trying to focus on any little thing
13:23
Speaker 3: I could to perfect my game so that when I
13:26
Speaker 3: get to the big leagues, I can be as ready
13:27
Speaker 3: as possible. Obviously, nothing can prepare you for the big
13:30
Speaker 3: leagues because it's in the league of its own. But
13:32
Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure I did my part and
13:35
Speaker 3: everything I could so that when I got there, I
13:37
Speaker 3: was as ready as possible. And yeah, and then in
13:40
Speaker 3: regards to when I found out, our manager had had
13:45
Speaker 3: had me read off the off a phone kind of
13:47
Speaker 3: like in Spanish, saying and he told me I was
13:51
Speaker 3: going in the big leagues. And then he said, hey,
13:52
Speaker 3: actually hold on, we have one more thing outside for you.
13:55
Speaker 3: And then when I had walked outside, uh man, he
13:58
Speaker 3: was on the on the jumbo tron and on the yeah,
14:01
Speaker 3: I guess that Jumbo trin and he kind of made
14:04
Speaker 3: a video for me, just congratulating me and how proud
14:07
Speaker 3: he was of me. And that he'll see me in
14:09
Speaker 3: San Diego the next week. So it was a surreal
14:12
Speaker 3: moment for sure, in one I won't forget.
14:15
Speaker 4: Wait, Manny did a video for you.
14:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, as a padre, but you were getting caught up
14:23
Speaker 5: for the Reds.
14:24
Speaker 4: That's that's big time. Yeah, that is big time. That
14:26
Speaker 4: is big time. I get it.
14:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh I get it. I'm taking I'm gonna take
14:31
Speaker 5: you back. I'm gonna take you back to high school.
14:32
Speaker 5: And I'm telling this story as a secondhand. I don't
14:36
Speaker 5: know if you know. One of the other co hosts
14:38
Speaker 5: it's on regularly Monday through Thursday, is A. J.
14:41
Speaker 4: Prazinski. His son Austin Goes went to first academy. Did
14:47
Speaker 4: I say that right? First academy? I think so.
14:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:50
Speaker 5: And they beat you guys your senior year in high school.
14:53
Speaker 5: AJ wanted to give you a hard time and said
14:57
Speaker 5: he wanted to say thank you for his son's state
15:03
Speaker 5: first state title, which they got another one again this year.
15:06
Speaker 5: But does a loss like that? Does a loss like
15:09
Speaker 5: that stick with you even though you've accomplished so much.
15:13
Speaker 5: You know, you're a first rounder, now you're a big leaguer.
15:15
Speaker 5: Now you guys are in a playoff hunt, does that
15:17
Speaker 5: loss still sit in there and kind of like scratch
15:21
Speaker 5: at you a little bit?
15:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, first academy. I mean, I don't forget, I don't forget.
15:25
Speaker 2: What's that first academy?
15:27
Speaker 3: I said, wait, it's not the same first academy I'm
15:29
Speaker 3: thinking of. But yeah, they they they got us, they
15:32
Speaker 3: got us, and that it'll halt me too, because I mean,
15:35
Speaker 3: although like personal accolades are great and all, I mean,
15:38
Speaker 3: I'm I'm more I'm more focused on like team accolades
15:41
Speaker 3: and winning a state championship was a dream of mine
15:44
Speaker 3: and uh I wasn't able to do that, which which
15:47
Speaker 3: is kind of sad. But I mean, knowing that it
15:49
Speaker 3: was Praszinski's son that won it, I mean it makes
15:51
Speaker 3: that a little better.
15:52
Speaker 2: But he can rag on me. They won, and I
15:54
Speaker 2: just kind of have to sit here and take it
15:55
Speaker 2: because we didn't win. So yeah, it kind of hurts
15:58
Speaker 2: a little bit, but it's all right.
16:00
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, well, yes, Austin did get the championships. Are
16:04
Speaker 1: he's happy about that. They also have their clubhouse is
16:07
Speaker 1: basically a big league clubhouse, So it's ridiculous.
16:10
Speaker 4: I'm sure Westminster's isn't. Isn't not too shabby.
16:14
Speaker 2: No.
16:14
Speaker 1: The one other thing he brought up from that time period,
16:16
Speaker 1: which he was like, what park did you get did
16:18
Speaker 1: you guys play in?
16:19
Speaker 4: Like the Twins park in Fort Myers? Are you guys
16:21
Speaker 4: playing in one of those? Okay?
16:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Twins park.
16:24
Speaker 4: So he was like, oh, Westminster's home ballpark. I think
16:28
Speaker 4: you were saying it was small or short? Right? Is
16:30
Speaker 4: that right? Sound? It was short to right field?
16:32
Speaker 2: It is short to right field, yes.
16:34
Speaker 7: Okay, and we had a bigger ballpark. Yeah, we were
16:38
Speaker 7: playing it. So it was gobbling up these fly balls
16:40
Speaker 7: from Westminster. So there was like this was like light
16:43
Speaker 7: trash talk sprinkled in and you know what.
16:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not really big into the chesh talk
16:49
Speaker 2: and none of that.
16:49
Speaker 3: I kind of just got him play and whatever happens happened.
16:54
Speaker 3: I mean, they people like, we've come to realize and
16:58
Speaker 3: I've learned, and they've they've been teaching.
17:00
Speaker 2: People are gonna come out and say a million different things.
17:02
Speaker 3: Which they have, they have the right to. They have
17:04
Speaker 3: an opinion and they can go out and say it.
17:06
Speaker 3: But the only opinions that really matter to me are
17:09
Speaker 3: my family and the people I consider family.
17:11
Speaker 2: So yeah, they could they could talk, and it's all right.
17:14
Speaker 3: Everyone's got their own opinion, but I don't really pay
17:17
Speaker 3: too much attention to it.
17:20
Speaker 5: So I don't know what's gonna happen in your career.
17:23
Speaker 5: But your approach to everything and your mindset and the
17:26
Speaker 5: way you talk about stuff doesn't seem like it's fake.
17:30
Speaker 5: And I hope you stay watching football, going to church
17:34
Speaker 5: and eating wings with the boys for twenty more years
17:36
Speaker 5: in the big leagues. Todd can appreciate that, and any
17:39
Speaker 5: big leader can appreciate that, because you're gonna have ups
17:41
Speaker 5: and downs, but it's the same sound comes to the ballpark.
17:45
Speaker 5: Maybe you might lose some of that hair, but keep
17:47
Speaker 5: that as long as you got it all right and
17:49
Speaker 5: hit some day.
17:51
Speaker 2: I hope I could keep it for a while. I
17:52
Speaker 2: love my hair.
17:55
Speaker 4: You got plenty. You're good. You're good.
17:56
Speaker 1: But that's a great answer for me to tell Aja
17:59
Speaker 1: next week or you guys next week.
18:00
Speaker 4: Sure sound was happy for Austin. Austin got a dub.
18:03
Speaker 4: You know it seems it seemed very genuine.
18:06
Speaker 5: I mean, proved me wrong, soal, but it's genuine that
18:09
Speaker 5: makes me happy to watch.
