  Speaker 4: of being a big leig manager. Look at that sweet
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, how many ghosts are in that suite?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: That's what I want to know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I actually don't mind this place. I like coming to Milwaukee.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm on the news side, so no ghosts on this side.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: There you go. I mean you got a bar back there?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I mean is it open bar? After the games?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Have the coaches come over, have a drink, tossing ball?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it is an open bar. How we doing?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: If you win at an open bar?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: How you doing? Man?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So we haven't caught you during the regular season. Here
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we saw in spring training. Are you enjoying this? And
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I heard in an interview John Mazzeilak did the other
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: day and he's like, oh, we had some fun this
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: past offseason hearing about our lack of activity, And now
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it's been fun for me because the results are showing
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: on the field that if you just play your youngsters
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you can get some good results. Have you felt the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: same way?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's been fun and it's a good group.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We do have some young guys, we got some veteran
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: sprinkled in there, but it's a really good group that's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: coming together, man, and it's been fun and manage them.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We're running them out there. They're playing hard, they're playing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the game the right way. So for those reasons, man,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it's been a lot more fun than the last couple
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of years. They're starting to build something that could be
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: fun to watch for several years. So that that part
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Ollie. How great has it been to have Nolan around?
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, how happy are you that he said, no,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think I really want to go to Houston.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna stay in Saint Louis and help mentor these
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: young guys. And also he's having a good year.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: He is man, and his defense is back to what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you're used to. He's in a good spot mentally too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: When you look at Nolan, he didn't start the way
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: he wanted to. But this is a guy like you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: land in Milwaukee, you land in these cities he's taking
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: different guys to dinner in the clubhouse. He's doing what
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you would expect him to do. So for those reasons, man,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I enjoy having the veterans around, like in twenty two,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: having Ap and those guys around last year, Goldie and Nato.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So it's good to have those guys in the clubhouse.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Turn a year like this when you have so many
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: young guys, because they they're able to model it and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: keep things in check. So I enjoy having a not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a he's been great to me, but uh yeah, he
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is having a good year, and I think it's a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: matter of time before he gets hot. He starts to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about his swing, which is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a good thing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: How much of this success for the young guys is consistency,
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Like before your roster was, Hey, great job at second base,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: go play center field. Hey you're doing awesome in centerfield.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: We're gonna play you at shortstop. Actually we're gonna sit
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: you down. You're hitting this well. No, Now it's like, hey,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: you know what, one through eight is pretty much similar
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: in your lineup every single night.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: That's been the key to it is these young guys
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: showing up everythy knowing exactly where they're going to play
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and where they're going to hit. Hi the lineup. We
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: haven't messed around a whole lot with the lineup. When
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it comes to just left right matchups, our lineup is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: what it is, Newton and Donnie in the one to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: three and if we're facing the left that we've kept
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it the same way, man. But the consistency in that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: part of it has led to consistency on the field.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And these guys are doing a really nice job defensively.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: That's why it's hard of kind of moved Donovan from
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: second base and bopping them around and play them in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the outfield and third on days off and things like that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's he's been consistent, so I want to keep him
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at one position and the lineup as well as far
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: as the batting order. But they're showing up and putting
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in the work every day. That's been the key to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: all of it. Man. They're hungry to be coached, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they enjoy the feedback, even on days where the feedback
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: isn't pleasant, like, they enjoy kind of hearing what's next
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for their career, and they've been good about it. Man.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Is that the cardinal way is that the cardinal way,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: because what is the cardinal way?
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I played there. I didn't really know what the card
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: way it was.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: To tell me that way, I mean, people describe it
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: somebody is, to be quite honest with you, at the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's when I came up through
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the minor leagues. It was a matter of putting in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the work and doing the little things well, never settling
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for just mediocrey. It's just you have to get after it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So call it what you want, are guys, you are
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: going about it extremely well.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I gotta ask your catchers. I don't know if that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: the next topic that we should go to. You have
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Ivon Herrera, you have Poso, you have Pahes, who I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: heard from one of your coaches is like the glue
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: guy in the clubhouse. You got rid of, not rid of,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: but you moved Wilson to first base. Who is the
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: pre eminent all star catcher, all this stuff, and now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: You have three catchers. You can't figure out who to
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: play because they're all raking. You're gonna be like a
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: triple A team soon where you have three catchers in
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: your lineup and it's just be a bunch of good
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: looking dudes that are banging. How can you get all
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: of these guys to consistently play by the way that
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: they're hitting the ball.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: When I look at it. Herreras Reken he's a professional
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: hitter man. He does a lot of things well, especially
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for his age. The way he handles his at bats,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive. Paz is more of a defensive first
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: type of guy, and he's done a really nice job.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: If you can live with this guy every day and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: watch the way he prepares, understands his staff but understands
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the opposition, and how well he kind of gains the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: trust of everybody on that staff. Man, it's it's fun
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to watch and it's hard not to catch him because
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of how well prepared he is. So we've mixed and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: matched Pozo with Libertoire and Piz gets the bulk of it,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and we want to keep her bad in the lineup.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So we got a little rotation going that's played well
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: up to now, and we'll continue it until we feel
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like we have to make a change. But at the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: at the moment, man, it's it's worked. Ah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I got two fan questions coming your way, and one
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: is related to this conversation. A lot of fans are
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: going ask about Jimmy Crooks. Isn't he a catcher too?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, we got Jimmy Crookz, we got Bernal, We got
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: several guys down below that project to be pretty good
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: catchers at the big league level. So we'll have some
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: decisions to make. Having depth is a good thing, hard decisions.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have those hard decisions to make as a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: staff and with the front office. But yeah, we got
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we got some guys coming that can play.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: The other consensus question coming in from fans is to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: ask about Jordan Walker, any timetable and what did you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: see from him right before he hit the shelf, because
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: there was a little more success. From a very casual
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: fan perspective, here is watching all the teams feel like
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: sometimes there's I mean, he's made a lot of changes
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: over his first few years to try and figure out
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: what's working for him. So did you feel like he
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: was starting to find that change to actually lock in with.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I do, and it suck that he got hurt when
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he did, because we were starting to kind of gain
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a little traction there offensively, defensively, I mean, John Jay
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: has been incredible for him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: No, nope, no you goet No.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. I mean because John j thinks he's
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: a player doesn't mean he's a good coach.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He let me tell you, let me tell you how
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: he's a really good coach, Like, really really good coach.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: This dude cares. He's locked into every single detail and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have a problem. One of the best things
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is like he one, he's relatable, but he can hold
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you accountable in a way where guys don't get defensive.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks at
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: all times, but he has the resume to back it up.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Man Like, he's gone through the ups and downs of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: being a big leaguer and what he's done for Jordan,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: not only for Jordan, but the entire outfield. Man Like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's just putting him on a really good routine where
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: when the game starts, they're confident. They're confident in going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: out there and playing with some freedom and not worrying
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about making mistakes. He's going to make a mistake and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: do it on the aggressive side. And we've seen Jordan
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: go from a guy that was somewhat of a liability
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: out in right field too. We're on his off days.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: We're putting in for late defense, and that's a big
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: deal for the confidence of a young player like Jordan. Offensively,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: he started to actually do some things well, and Brownie's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: been good for him. There are some changes there. The
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: league starting to figure him out. They're spinning them down
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in a way he couldn't recognize spin and it caused
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: some trouble. But we started to do a better job
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of that as of late. Then he got hurt. So
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: my hope is to have him here sooner than later.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I think we're days away, not weeks, which is great.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: By the way, you guys go to Chicago after this,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: just make sure John Jay doesn't do things he's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: supposed to, because he's been known to be handcuffed before it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: and this time he's going to the White Sox.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: He's warning, We'll.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Warning, just warn him to be careful because now he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: going down to the White Sox. So there's If he
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: thought regularly was bad, just imagine how bad it could
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: be on the South Side.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, don't tell them not to get too cold.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Were you the one behind that one?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I was the only one behind that I was the
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: only one who knew, So people that don't know, I
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: had John Jay arrested and.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Regular, yeah, we've told it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: He was scared to death to say the least. But
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: he deserved it all right because he put his butt
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: in my face.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: It was a whole.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: But the question I have for you is, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: when you first took this job a few years ago,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: there was no gray.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Okay in this beard?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Is this one managing does to you? I know, is
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: this one managing does to you? It turns your hair grain?
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Is it because descalso is so close to you all
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the time.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's managing. And when you play that many
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: one run ball games, this is what you get right here.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It's uh, it was completely black and twenty two and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like those before and after pictures of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a president. So yeah, it'll take years off your life
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: If you're one of those on the go people, or
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: you're skipping meals but you don't want to, there's got

• 10:55
  Speaker 5: You know how that like transition thing works. You are
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: so good and I'm hearing this from other people and
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: the little bit that we've interacted, you are so good
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: at connecting with the players. How during the time that
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: you know a new GM is coming in, Normally new
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: gms are like, well, you know, Ali might be a
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: great guy, but I'm bringing my own guy. How do
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: you make that transition into this year going? You know what,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be who I am. I'm going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: be here for the players. Whatever happens with Hein Bloom,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: when he comes in and Mozlac leaves. How do you
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: make that transition because you have to like address the
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: elephant in the room that you know what, we don't
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: know what tomorrow holds, but I'm going to be here
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: for you guys today.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Dude, I'm gonna be as honest as that can be.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't worry about it at all, not even a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: little bit. I'm here for the players. Like you said, man,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I show up every day and I want to make
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: sure that a couple of things happen, that my staff
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: knows I have their back and that I'll do whatever
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they need in order for them to do their jobs well,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and that the players know that I have their back,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and whether they're in a good run or a bad run,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: man that that I that we're there to come alongside
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of them and do this together. So I don't spend
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of time on worrying about next year,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen. The transition has actually been really good.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The collaboration between them two of mo really focusing on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the big league club and how I'm focusing on steading
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: up and just put in certain systems in place for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a minor league to continue to move in the right
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: direction has been really good. So I've been able to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: meet with both of them, and to your point, man,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's so much easier to do life when you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: can just be yourself. And that's what I'll continue to do.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I woke up for the last nineteen years trying to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: make this org better and I'll continue to do that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So I'll keep focusing on the staff and the players
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and let that play out however it does.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Man, Oh, I got one for you from yeah before,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: because that was a cool game. There were a lot
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of people watching that one yesterday. I mean, wow, cool,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: cool for fans, not your hitters, Yes, for fans. Okay,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So their thoughts on what you saw? Yes, on both
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: sides really because for you, first off, I mean, Sunny
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Gray has been awesome, so this was a blip and
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: so what did you see there on his side? And
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: then on the other side, Yeah, I would love a
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: little scattering report on Jacob Mizrawski, who the Brewers waited
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: for because it's not like he's twenty. They waited a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: little bit for him to get some control, and I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: think he's got it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you nailed it. And I enjoy those matchups.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: They are fun. Jacob was good, I mean plus extension.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a lanky dude. It feels like
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: he's just putting the ball in the catcher's bit and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's one hundred and one hundred and two, one hundred
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and three and he was spinning it at eighty seven
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: eighty eight with good depth. It's a tough at bat.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I felt like second time through, our timing was a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: little better. Our bats were a little better. We drew
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: some walks and put some balls in play, so that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that part of it was good. But that's a good arm.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you feel like you're facing a closer from
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: pitch number one. So it was impressive to watch him.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the what the injury was. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: hope he's okay, man because there's definitely a future there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And then Sonny, you said it, he's been good. They
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got to him and strung together a couple of hits
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: there in order to kind of get him out of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the game. But he's been really good for us. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: love the way he competes. Man, this is a guy
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that just shows up. He's so detailed, so he'll get
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: back on track. That's the That's the least of my worries.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, best picture you guys have faced this year's or
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: least maybe lest couple of school bol Skimes Miserawski. I mean,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: who's who's the guy that stands out when you look
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: back and say this is the best.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: This is gonna probably throw you off a little bit
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: because of how it's been for him as of late.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But Bobby Miller, when he threw against us a couple
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of years that was at their place opening day, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: believe it was filth. It was absolute filth and it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: hasn't gone away as but he did that nine was
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was unhaple skiing. I mean we we sed him quite
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: a bit. I mean a really good arm. We've been
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: able to kind of win a couple of games sinces,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: but they're never easy. And this guy what he's doing,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: he's tough to face and school as well. We have
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: some pretty good arms, but the list he just gave pretty.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Good, Yeah, really good. I got one more and I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: think A just got one more. So this is a
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: fun one. I don't know if you caught this. The
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Athletic did a player poll and you were on the
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: poll for managers that a guy would least want to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: play for. But wait, there's a caveat hold on. Because
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: we talked about this a lot yesterday. You might be like, what,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: what a dick bringing this up? Wait, so they pulled something. Players, No,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I got you hold on because I had your back yesterday. Ali,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: they pulled it. They pulled one hundred something players. Okay,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: only about forty replied to this particular one. So for
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the least to play for, it was just a bunch
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of dudes that had like three or four boats, right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: So you happen to hit that list among many others.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And the Athletic basically like delegitimize the list itself because
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: they released some of the quotes. So this is the
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: one they put out for you on Ali Marmal. Here's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: here's an example of a player that said, oh, I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to play for Ali. Quote, I don't really
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: know many managers. I'm trying to think of someone in
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: our division, just so I can say someone who's the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Cardinals guy? Yeah, just put him down. So so, hey, shocker,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: your rivals think about you and don't like you. So
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: what did you think about that? Because for me, yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you want to pull thousands of guys they've all played,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: you know, guys that have played for everyone. Cool, but
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: they kind of belittled what they did there. So I
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: thought it was funny.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: No. I love articles like that, They're my favorite. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: mean to simplify, ay J, what what did opposing players
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: think of you when you were a player?
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Bud Oh? We talked about that, trust me.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: We talked about that yesterday because we had the writer
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: on it, and I said, well, you know I won
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: most hated all the time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, but here's the thing. And then when
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you come over the guys that you actually played with
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: once he got traded and came over, what did they
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: think of you?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think they like me, most of them,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: but I don't think it wayneright likes because now we
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: have to work together.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: So I think Wayne right one.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I like even in talking to Scowls and Jay like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: they they've mentioned it, like man like you see him
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: across the way and you just like you hate him,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: like his act, all of it, and then you get
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: him in the clubhouse, you're like, he's my favorite dude,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Like I want him here for as long as he
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: wants to be here. So I take it as like
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't care, Like if the opposing team
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't like me, I'm okay with that. It's my own guys,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that's something different, right, but uh yeah, pull pull my
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: own guys, and then we'll go from there. All right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Listen, we learned this at Doctor Phillips High School. That's
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: why you're hated and I was hated, Okay, so I
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: get it. It's what we teach ATDP oh DP, Go Panthers,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to say, that's what we talk, all right.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I gotta ask you this because we recently had Max
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Muncy on and you guys trolled Clayton Kershaw, so.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I know that was your what you learned deep right.
• 18:00

• 18:09
  Speaker 4: were really doing, right, So I appreciate it, So thank you.

  Speaker 1: He's had a huge impact on and off, so I
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: got nothing there. He's a good dude.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: He is a great That's what made it so funny

  Speaker 4: because he is such a great dude that the fact
