• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Send your walk off homer Coltonkwzer joining us right now
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: on foul Territory. Coulton, Great to have you on. Man,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: what a little a few days you just had. What
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: was that like?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And did you ever dream of that when you were
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: a kid? Oh? Back to back games? Walk off Homer?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate you having me on, And no, I
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: really didn't honestly. I was just you know, going through
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: twenty four and twenty five, I knew I didn't have
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: a walk off hit, and then it feels like they
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: stacked up right there for the past couple of days.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both homers too crazy.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I mean take take us through it, you know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: like in terms of what you're going through when you're
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in that ab what was that like for you?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean both situations a single order done the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and there's probably something to just simplifying the approach and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and not trying to do too much. And I was
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: really just trying to get a pitch over the heart
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: of the plate and put a good swing on it,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: and I was able to do so and the result
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: ended up working out in our favor.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Did you end up hearing the Tigers broadcast? I mean,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know how much you go back and watch
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: your own like stick or if you watch like Instagram
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: or anything. Did you end up hearing their commentary before
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: your home run?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I may have saw it someone someone sent a text
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to me of of that broadcast, and uh, it made
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: me laugh a little bit. But uh, you know, those
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: guys are just doing their jobs. They're reading there, they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: reading the reports and what they said it wasn't wasn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't a lie at the time. So but I feel
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: like I have a pretty good amount of power.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I would I would say normally, yes, I mean if
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: they were just reading your stats from this season or like,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: but I get it, they're doing their job. But I
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: when I heard it, When I heard it the first time,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: it made me laugh because I always always tell people
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: when they would ask, like, that's honestly, what's going through
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: my head when I'm not going well? Is that in
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: your head? Or do you go up in those situations
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: and you go this is it? Like I got this
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: because as a player, you're sitting there and you go, man,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I'm struggling or I'm not doing what I think I
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: should do, the team's not winning as much, or do
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: you go up in that situation and you are fully
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: convinced I'm getting the job done, because a lot of
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: fans have never been in that situation.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that kind of what you said.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It's all about that confidence that you bring into the
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: batter's box, and when you're not going well, it's one
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of those things that can be hard to find, so
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you almost have to trick yourself mentally. And you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it feels like the past couple of weeks, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the abats have been a lot better, and I feel
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like it was just a matter of time before some
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: things really starting to click. And yeah, I mean, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: think the big thing is just just not trying to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: do too much, like I mentioned, and you know, especially
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: with two strikes, just trying to put the bat on
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the ball and make something happen. And like I said,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: there's there's something to just making it simple for yourself mentally.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Cold in the first the first walk off one off Kenley,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: the one against the Tigers, did he really throw these sinkers?
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Because I always remember Kenley just being cutters and curveballs.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I know he's messed with a sinker. Was that really
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: a sinker? It was just a cutter that didn't cut.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So first two pitches were cutters for sure. I mean,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he's got a unicorn unicorn pitch always has, and he's
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: really able to just bear that down in on you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And I think it was a sinker from what I've
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: told but just the way he throws that that sinker,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it's got a little bit of arm side, but it
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: feels like it's got a little bit more so on
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: what the what the cutter does. But I hadn't really
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: taken a swing like that in a while, or I
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: kind of just cleared out the hips because out of
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the hand it looked like, you know, I'm anticipating it
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to move in on me, and it ended up running
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: back over a little bit and worked out all right.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: So we talk about all the time, and I know
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: you're not a pitcher, but we talked about closers all
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: the time, and how some teams have a designated closer.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Is it different in the ninth inning facing a dude
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that is the designated closer. I'm not saying to compare
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Kenley Janssen because of the you know, his near Hall
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: of fame resume to anybody else that's thrown in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: ninth but are those at bats different because some teams argue, well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: you don't need a closer, you just need somebody that
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: gets three outs.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Kenley, Like you said, I mean, he's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer in my book, and you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he's been doing it for so long. It's it's one
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of those things where getting three outs for him, he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: done it for so long, and you know, whenever you're
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: going in they're facing a guy who's established like that,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it adds a different, little different layer to it. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: versus whenever you're you know, facing someone who maybe not
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: typically closes, but they're able to get three outs. Like
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you said, baseball is one of those funny games where
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: certain situations dictate certain emotions. And I think that's what
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: separates those those established closers to be so elite.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Godfather, I'm a last minute guy.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're a last minute guy where you all of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a sudden see a night open up and you want
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to go grab some tickets and you hadn't gotten them already,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so you're going to see geek and you're gonna go
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: look for a green dot and see where the good
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: seats are and the good value is and have a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: little night with the fam.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Right without a doubt, and I'm looking for some of
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: the best seats. I'm looking for that green dot when
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: I get that. It's a simple plug it in, use
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: your hands, go right on your screen, your phone, whatever
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: platform you can get it on. And it's so simple.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: They make it so easy for you to do. Even
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: my son can do it. If I asked him, Hey, Blikester,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: let's go. Man, get on there for us. Find us
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: a couple of seats so we can watch even that
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Subway series. That would be fantastic. Seat Geek has it all.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: There for you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the code for you. You should know it.

  Speaker 1: It's Territory ten. It just gets you ten percent off
• 6:27

  Speaker 1: Then the code is automatically added to your account so

  Speaker 1: you can use it later.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Cold.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: How about that game yesterday.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, your home run obviously was the icing on
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the cake, but that game yesterday was kind of insane.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: They scored you guys, score they score two, you score two.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: You have the play at the play where the catcher
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: gets knocked out and Gunner just thinks he can run
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: until you know they stop, and then you come home
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: and hit the home run. Was that one of the
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: crazier games you've ever been a part of, cause that
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: was I was watching that from home and I'm like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I couldn't take my eyes off it because I couldn't
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: think what was going to happen next.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was. I mentioned it post game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It's probably one of my favorite games I've been a
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: part of, just because it was a full, just team win,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and like you said it, it was like we were
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: in the trenches with them. Pete kept saying that, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you know, they scored. You know, we always felt like
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we had the belief that we were going to score
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: as well, and it felt like we were one hit
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: away for about three four innings there. And it's not
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: too often you end up getting four at bats off
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the bench, and we had two guys end up getting that,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and so it was just one of those things where,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you know, you kind of mentioned it, the closer kind
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: of goes out the window and just really proud of
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: our guys the way they handle it in the bullpen
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and we're able to just scrap away and ended up
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: with a win. There.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Do you guys do a postgame celebration of any kind?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we give out a hitter of the game, picture game,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a little bit of celebration.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, Is there is there anybody that for fans who
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: don't know teams win and they actually like celebrate and say, hey,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: good job, this person did a good job. It's not
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: just like going and you get your water bottle and
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: you get a shower. So in that postgame celebration, who
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: is usually the first one to line up to like
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: make sure people who made mistakes like base running mistakes
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: or something in a win to like give them a
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: hard time? Is there somebody that does that? Or you
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: guys only go positive.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: We typically keep it positive, but you know, if there's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: there's an outlier situation, you know someone will give you
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a little bit of a hard time.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But it's mainly maybe after the celebration, usually highlighting just
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the pitcher and hitter of the game, as well as
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: just how well the you know, the team came together.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And that's typically it. But we have I think last
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: year we had a bonehead play of the Week that
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: we'd go over and in our hitters meetings and as
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: well as this year, we have some some things that happened,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: we'll throw them in the hitters meeting as well, or
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: just just videos of the plays. So just usually just
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: giving someone all the hard time.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, tell me about some teammates. So let's start with Pete.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: How's polar Bear being?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You know, what's he like? What's he bring to the clubhouse? Mix?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And now he's bopping Homer, so he's probably smiling ever
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: since he saw aj what was that three weeks ago?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And you give him a hug. It's been much better
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: since I've been keeping track of his post.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was I think that was when the Ashes
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: were in town.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Giants Giants, Giants, Giants, Giants, Giants.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: That's right. Pete's been great, you know, having having a
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: presence like that in the clubhouse. Just just like I
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: said yesterday, it was one of those things, you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: between innings, it was just like he kept saying, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we're in the trenches with them, like just keep battling,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and you know, as the game kept going on, you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: both teams are retired. He's just full of energy and
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you know, leadership, and you see him run around the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: bases as well, end up scoring a time run as well.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And yeah, he brings a lot of perspective. He's been
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: playing for a while and and playing at such a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: high level that you know, he brings certain perspective when
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: it comes to facing certain guys, certain situations, and as
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: well as just like just gameplay talk as well, just
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: even when you're out on defense, just always communicating. And yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: he's been great.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: He definitely had a voice and was a big presence
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in New York. Mets fans miss him dearly. Do you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: feel like he's able to truly blossom into his leadership
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: role with your club? Right, he's been around the block.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of young guys on your side. With
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the Mets. There were some, you know, other veterans and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: guys kind of trying to take leadership roles where he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: could go there and just be like, hey, let me
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: tell you how this is all done.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know how it was in their clubhouse over there.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Just knowing Pete, I could I could see Pete being
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: kind of the same guy no matter what clubhouse he's in.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, he's very vocal in our clubhouse and likes
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: to say what he's thinking and you know it. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's only beneficial for us guys that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you know, haven't been around as long, and you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: having a guy like Bassett as well in the clubhouse
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: has been great. Just someone who's who's been been around
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: for a while and who's who's seeing kind of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: landscape of the league, especially like this early in the year,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: where you never know what can happen no matter how
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: good or bad you're playing. So just keeping that perspective,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you know, knowing that it's a long year, and just
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: doing things right. It's good to have those reminders, all right.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about like a body contest here, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: who's stronger Pete Alonso or Tyler O'Neil.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I'd have to say O'Neil, But I think Pete, well, well.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know, strongest man competition, Like we're we're carrying
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: to Atlas Stones, We're throwing a beer keg over over
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the foul pole something.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a tough one because I think
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Pete is really strong and obviously when you look at O'Neill,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: he's so he just is jacked, but I think it
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the type of exercise is what it's gonna matter or
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: boil down to, because that's my final answer.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: As boring as that is, that is a that is
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: a boring I mean, you tell me. I mean, we
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: have the enhanced games, now you can create your own exercise.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: So?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: What?
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Okay? So if the Atlas Stone, they're going to carry
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the Atlas Stone and they're also going to throw a
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: beer keg. Who who wins strongest man competition for the Orioles?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm thinking Atlas Stone has a lot to do
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: with you know, obviously lower body strength, but also grip
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: strength and forearm strength and the way I've seen O'Neil
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: have some check swings where the barrel just doesn't go anywhere.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to go with O'Neill in that one.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: But I mean throwing a beer keg. I mean, I
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: gotta go with Pete. You know, he went to the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: he's the sec school guy, you know, Florida, and I
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: feel like he could throw a beer keg.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I like it drink.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I don't know. I don't know.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I've never played with him.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I haven't been invited.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: If so, Oh wow, they do have the what's it
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: called that? You guys don't do that anymore. You guys
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: don't do the former house water the hydration thing right anymore.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: We don't. We don't. And honestly it might be for
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the best because that thing had to be full of mold.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I mean just by the end of the year, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: don't know if he was getting dried out and we
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: pack it up, put it in a carry on suitcase
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and bringing on the road. So I mean, I feel
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: like by the end of the year last year it
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: was probably you know, seen these better days.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: What's the skit now? Though? What's the skit?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: We don't have anything right now? Yeah, we don't have
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: a homer prop right now?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Do you need one to talk like that? Is that
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: something that's talked about because that coach high school baseball
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: and they talk about like, oh, this is going to
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: be our selly here and you know, they hit like
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: one homer a year as a high school team, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: they're like, oh, this is gonna be our home run selly.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: So do you guys talk about it? And nothing's landed?
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: You know, it's it's been brought up, and I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: there's pro Homer props, but then there's also people that
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: are are like no promo hop or Homer props. So
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I think we just kind of just decided we're not
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: going with one this year. But I wouldn't be surprised if,

• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you know, the classic just handshakes down down the dugout
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: is great, but I feel like it's one of those
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: things if you don't have something that's really good, then
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: it's like you don't want to do it at all
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: then because then you're like, ah, that's kind of silly.

  Speaker 1: Get started today at bluehoo dot com and go for
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: gold Terrek Schouble and really the fall of the Tigers
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: right now. If they decide to trade Schoogle, he said,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: they could get more prospect return if they signal willingness
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to absorb most or all of his salary for the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: last two months about eleven mil, which would make sense.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They've already budgeted to pay a salary this year. If
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they do that, more teams could be involved in the bidding.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Owners have a tough time paying money of a dude
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: who's a top three pitcher in baseball.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Like, if I'm there and I get, this is the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: part I actually get. If I'm the owner of the Tigers,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why do I have to eat money on
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a deal?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Isn't that for guys that suck?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Do you have better returns?
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Usually?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: If I don't know, I just don't. I still don't
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: see him trading Terrek school. I just don't.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: What's the number that they have to be out of it?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Like wildcard wise?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I just said that all these teams are so close.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: No, they are, although the Tigers are a little bit
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: further back wherever.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: They were at a fifteen game lead last year and
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: lost it. So do you think if they're it's like
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: two months to go?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Trust me, I did the show with you every day.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: If they're ten games back of a wild card by
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, you don't think they'll trade him.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: They're five backs right now.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're that far back.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Yet I just don't think they are because nobody's nobody's
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: pulling away in the AL.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Five, not enough, So it would have to be like
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, the second to.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Last week, they're gonna get sacked.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: They're gonna get scooball the pitch, and then there's hope
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: they'll change everything.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Right Hey, former White Sox manager Pedro Griffol remember him.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: He is the new head coach at Florida International University
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: in Miami. If I use head baseball coach, going from
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: major league manager to the college ranks.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Good luck.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know how the recruiting is going to go
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: with all that, but good luck, because I mean, everyone
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: at the White Sox City wasn't the most personable guy
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: in the world. Yep, So good luck out on the
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: recruiting trail, Pedro. I hope you do well. Just dominatebody.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Try to talk anyone at FIU if you're an alumni
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: that used to know, because he will not like that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Wait, alumni, it took me a moment too, right, no
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: alumni involved.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: If you're an alumni.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: If if I you and you go back and there's
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: like someone that works there still from when you play,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: do not try and talk to him because he will
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: get angry.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: He is not.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: He does not like former players coming and talking to
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: employees that still worked there from when they played.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: He did not like that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That would not be helpful at all.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Right, No, God forbid.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: If you former players get to go talk to people
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: that they spent like eight years of their life.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: With, especially if they had success.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Especially if they work in the video room, like oh man,
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: to get all your secrets, y'all should ask me, because
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: y'all couldn't hit for three years.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: He has, he has a connection. He definitely has. Whatever
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you think of him as a big league manager, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not on that. I'm not on a
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: hype train. I never was but he's got the Miami connection.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: So maybe FIU says, how do we get more players
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: from Miami to come here and not go to other schools,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: go to other schools in the state, in the country,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: stay here in f I uh, you know, so maybe
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: he's you know, he's got that mascot gig that he's
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: gonna be able to kick around.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: What's the Miami connection.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: That's where he's He's like Miami Baseball in Miami. He's Miami. Yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you talk to guys that are down there,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: that's those are the guys that really like him. And
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming that's probably why he ended up, you know,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: enough people banging the drum to be able to get
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: his big league job with the White Sox. You know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: it didn't work out, you know, not everybody. Just be
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: careful who you who you pump up to get a job,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: because your name is also part of that when you say, hey,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: you know, I think this guy should work. So but
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: he's got that Miami connection. He does have that. He
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: has that cache down there for sure.
