  Speaker 3: the middle a lot up. We've got a really good
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: first basement. I could play defense. We brought Bell back,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: which who I love to fill in the DH role
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: to add on to our young hitters. So it's been good.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's been good. It's been a good off season. We
• 0:46

• 0:50

• 1:04
  Speaker 3: he did well. He did well. I mean, like I said,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: you know, we offer him a lot of money. He
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: gambled out himself. He paid off for him. He's an
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: unbelievable player still, you know, for me, one of the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: best young players in the game.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: So good for him.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, good for him and his family.
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: For the like for the rest of the generations.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Return that I mean, that was that was amazing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: So you mentioned some of the guys you brought in Bell,
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: you brought back who was here last year, a couple
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: years ago, two years ago, you brought in Nathaniel Lowe,
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: you brought a back fin again running Soroka. Which one
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: are you most excited for? You know what, You're a hitter,
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: so you got to say you want to score runs.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: We want to score runs, We really do. But you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I've always said, you know, pitching and defense wins this
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: ball games. You know we're gonna score you win games
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: two to one. But three things that we got to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: do consistently. We got to pitch, We gotta throw strikes,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: we got. We gotta play defense, and we've got to
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: run the base as well as you know, hitting comes
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: and goes, you know, but you could win some games,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: you know, three to two, two to one, you know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm excited about the pitching, the pitching staff we got.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about Finnegan to send a closed games for
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: us again. But you know, adding those two guys in
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the middle of our lineup, bringing another veteran guy like
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Oazaria and de Young also, so uh, you know, I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: excited about the way lineup is looking right now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Dave, were you hoping that there would have been a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Jason Worth Max Schurzer type signing or is that something
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: maybe to expect next offseason. I know you're not making
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: those decisions, but you also were managing a twenty nineteen
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: World Series winning team that you know, kind of set
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the foundation with moves like that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the big thing is that we went
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: out there and we knew we wanted some veteran guys.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: We got some guys that we really feel that can
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: help us, especially help our young kids as well.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, we got a core young group that's really good.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: We got a whole outfield that James Wood, Jacob Young
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: who I really feel like you should have been gold Glover,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and Dylan Cruz who. You know, those guys to us
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: are the core. You know, they got a taste last year.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You know, Jacob played with us all year, but James
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and Dylan came in halfway through the season, uh and
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: really got their feet wet. So we're hoping that this
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: year they take off. They've done really well. They made
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: some good adjustments over the over the winner.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: This spring, they've done well, playing well. I'm excited to
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: watch all those three guys play together. Louis had a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: tremendous year last year, not only offensively but defensively as well.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So we're looking for big things from him. And are
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you know I say it all the time. You know
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: our shortstop, our shortstop to me is uh Sky's limit
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Man. CJ's gonna you know, I love him. He's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: one that makes things go.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: So I'm looking for big things from him as well.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: Which one of those guys you mentioned CJ has been
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: an all star the Cruse and what are the two
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: guys that everyone talks about in the Nationals organization. What
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: of those guys have to do to take that next up.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: You said you mentioned adjustments they made last year, but
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: this will be their first, hopefully full year at the
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: major league level. What's the biggest adjustment for them to
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: really take the next step? Because I think next year
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: you guys are gonna be big players in the free
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: aging game because you guys not only have Cruise and
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: would you got some other guys coming through the system.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: I was talking to Mattie Lee Croy. He was pumping
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: up some of your guys for me. So what do
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: those two guys have to do to become center pieces
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: of the Nationals organization?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, for me, it's all about consistency, right right.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I mean we saw signs of what they can do.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You know, jans Wood with you know, some big home
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: runs for us last year, driving balls. This guy, this guy,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you watched this guy play. He doesn't look like he's
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: running very fast, but he could fly. I mean, he
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: steals basis for us. It's all about consistency.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: Dylan.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You know, he worked on some things over the off
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: season with his hitting. He understands that, hey, he needs
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: to accept his walks, he needs to get the ball
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: on the strike zone. So far. He's done that all spring.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: But it's about moving the baseball, taking his walks, getting
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: on basis. Another guy that can steal some basis for us.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: But what I love is him is that he goes
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: out there, he forgets about that bats and he'll be
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a potential go glover too.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, this guy plays the outfree really well for us.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: Nice I talked about TJ a little, but he had
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: a little issue at the end of last year. Was
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: that a learning message to not only him but to
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: the whole organization of like, hey, guys, we need to
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: be better about everything on and off the field, clearly, absolutely.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: You know what young players don't realize, especially you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is that, hey, he became an All Star. You know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: everybody knows. Everybody sits around, they know who he is,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: they know what he does. So you know he's got
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to you got to pick his spots.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: We always talk about, uh, but you know what, we're
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: beyond that. I mean I talked to him over the Winner.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't have any hard, hard feelings about
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the whole deal. I love the kid, I really do,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and uh, for the most part, he's engaged.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: He's here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You know, he knows what he needs to do. His
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: routines impeccable, so you know that's that's beyond est. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: hope he learned, uh from what happened and we moved
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: on and we're looking forward for him having to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: big things.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: The key for him is, I know he was an
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: All Star last year, to be an All Star for
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the whole year, and that's something that we talk about, Dave.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Is there a specific part of his game that you'd
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: like to see improved based on the ceiling that he has, Like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: where's one part where you watch him and you're like,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he can get way better here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yo, Because consistency on defense will be one. The other
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: thing too, is, you know we haven't leading off is
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: accepting his walks, you know, because when he when he's
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: on base, I mean, he's a guy that makes us go,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: he really does. So if he can accept his walks,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: get the ball on the zone this you know, you
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: guys seen it before. This guy has unbelievable power, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: but if he gets the ball in the strike so
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: he could hit the ball a long way. The big
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: thing for him, I know Darnold's talked to him about
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: be a forty to fifty doubles guy and the home
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: runs will come, but he can also steal fifty sixty
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: bags for us when he's on base.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: What's your starting rotation look like, McKenzie, you said, Soroka.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got McKenzie, We've got Shiroka, we got Irvin,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: we got three lefties buying for the fifth spot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: We have Trevor Williams.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: So you know that that the you know, you got
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: hers Mitchell Parker, and we got Schanowski. Uh that we
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: just got from Japan. That's that's done really well.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, well you give us no clues at all. There
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: was no closer. You're like, hey, look I got the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: roster up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I can read the roster.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, So I mean I can go through. But I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I mean I was hoping for a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Little opening day would be we'll see mackenzie, McKenzie for
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: maybe maybe.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Oh that was a fir baby, I got it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You want to know what I love about this spring
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: training is the depth. The depth that we have is tremendous.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Is the first spring training I can say that we got.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: We got a core of young starters that are really
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: knocking on the door for so it's it's uh, it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Fun to watch these guys go out there compete.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, we got some really good ones, so, uh
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: so I'm excited about that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm assuming Kyle Finnegan jumps right back into his
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: all star closer role. And you know, what was the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: off season like, did you communicate with him at all
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: during the process. I'm sure we'll talk to him later,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: but you feel weird your team non tenders you, but
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: then you keep the talks going and he signs back.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Look, we talked before the season and I talked to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: him about what things, how things might transpire.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: He gets it, he understands.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I'm so super glad he's back. You know, this guy's
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you know since I've known, and he's taking the ball
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: no matter what the role is. He's taking the ball
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: for me. And he's gotten big outs for me since
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: we've had him. So it's nice to have him back.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I try to stay away from guys in free agency
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: because they got a lot to think about. You know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: they're thinking about their next team, their family, whether you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: whether we can bring him back, so you know, but
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I did talk to him a few days prior, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: before we sign him, just to let him know that, Hey, man,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: no matter what happens, you know how I feel about him.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: You know, I hope that we get him back. I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: glad it worked out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: But you know, like I said, he's gonna be a
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: big part of the back end of our bullpen.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: He's going to close games for us. So I'm excited
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: that he's here.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: How nice is it though, as a as a manager
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: to have a closer that you can count on. It's
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: a security banket for because you're like, okay, the night
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: that's taken care of, and sometimes it can sneaks him
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: out in the eight and then you just start building
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: your bullpen from there, and it's one less piece you
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: have to worry about, right, So I think it Everyone
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: says like, yeah, you know, Hall of Fame starter, but
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: a great closer also was a big piece for any
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: team that wants to compete and win anything.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got to remember he was an All Star too,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, so to get him back here was tremendous, tremendous.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, he solidifies the back end of a bullpen,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you know, and we brought some guys in that could
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: really help us. Uh, and we had the law you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Doe really well, we got this kid for Rair, that's
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: you know, last year I gave a little taste of
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: what it feels like to close games.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: But we also brought in Sims and Jorge Lopez that
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that's gonna Yeah, you gotta.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Keep his I don't.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: I don't foresee him doing that here.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to take us in a different direction
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and actually just get your thoughts on the value of
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a manager. You've been managing for a minute now, So
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: what do you think of you know, Dave Roberts obviously
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: leading his team to a World Series and then still
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: in talks, you know, with his ball club obviously to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: figure out an extension. Not that it's not going to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: get figured out, but we've asked some of the managers
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: like you, do you think that the value of a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: manager needs to be set to a certain standard these days,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Without getting into the exact details of numbers like salaries
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: were kind of going down for managers at a high level,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Craig Council seemed to raise the tide again. So you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: what do you think about your brethren and how they
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: can kind of make sure that they're getting taken care
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of if they're leading their teams to World Series titles.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I think it's important that, uh,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: that each team has a guy that can lead them, uh,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: not only on the field, but off the field as well.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: So it's a very important position. You know.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I really believe that it's only thirty of them, you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in the world, so uh for us to go out
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: there and be consistent with what we teach, what we do,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: uh to face the media, you know, twice a day,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: uh sometimes to wear it, which is which is part
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: of our job. And we all we all understand that, uh,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: you know for great counsel and Roberts, you know, you
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: know Greg got his. You know, I know Dave Roberts
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: really well. He's his good friend of mine. I hope
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: that he gets his as well. But you know, we're
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: all in this together.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: You know, we talk a lot.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You know, we pull for one another until we play
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: one another. But it's you know, it's it's it's a job.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I love what I do. I'm passionate about what I do,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and my job is to make sure that our clubhouse
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: has continuity that you know, we communicate well. Uh, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: we go out there and we're with the face of
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the franchise. So I love I love what I do
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: and and I know these these got other twenty nine
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: guys feel the same way about their job.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Nice you had recently. We talked before you came on
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: that a couple of your guys. You want a world
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: series with Trey and Max. Howd of interesting moment the
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: other day or tray first pitch challenge even though it
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: was right down the middle, Max got a good choke
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: because Max alred, He's given us his feelings on the
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: ABS and how much he doesn't really want it. What
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: are your thoughts on the A B s? And have
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: you told guys who can do this? I would think
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: low Bell, maybe Abrams have some power. But then you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: if you get maybe Keybert, but some of the other guys,
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: you know, some younger guys, you might be like, hey, guys,
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: you might need to save some helmet t happen for later.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: We did discourage the the the pictures not to do it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: So that's okay.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: So that's what that's my thing is everyone says tells
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: the pitchers not to do it. I think because it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: because they when they throw it they don't always.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: See they always see the Yeah, they don't always see
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the angle man. The catcher is right there. I mean
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: he knows, you know. To me, he's got a better
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: view of what what's a strike and what's not. If
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I had to pick one guy that was going to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: do it the challenge, I would have picked back shirts
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: It's a challenge.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Well he did it the first day and it was
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: like this far low yeah, oh yeah, because Kirk. It
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: was a curveball and Kirk kind of brought it up
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: any challenged just to see he said, so, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: he looked like he looked funny that it was like
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: eight inches.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: It's gonna it's gonna be a teaching moment for our
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: young guys when uh as we show them that, hey
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: see pictures, you know, they think everything is a strike.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: So yeah, uh well we're honestly when we're that's where
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I scream a lot. I probably would have screamed right here. Hey,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: uh but you know, Matt, you know you know how
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Max is uh. I thought it was great that Tray
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: went out there. We saw I saw the pitch man.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: It was right down in the middle, and he challenged
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: you know, he challenges, So, uh good, good for baseball?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: I have fun with it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Well, my my question is for baseball. Do you have
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: any feedback? Have you given any feedback to the league.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Have any players said, hey, I really like this part
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: of it, or you know, when it gets implemented, most
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: likely in twenty twenty six in the majors, I hope
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they do it this way.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: So here's what for me.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: You know, because I've been in baseball for a very
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: long time, I've always felt like umpires are part of
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the game, right, uh, you know, and it's a it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a human factor, right, They're gonna make you know, they're
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: gonna make mistakes like everybody else does.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: So I'm biased to having umpires.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I know they're trying trying to clean up the game
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit and do different things, but uh, we
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: have it.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I got feedback from players, especially our young guys have
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: seen it in Triple A, uh you know, and fifty
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: to fifty a lot like it because they know they
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: don't know any better, you know that that's what they're
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that's what they were doing. So but I think I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: think it's just you know, we have to wait and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: see how it all plays out. I don't necessarily, you know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: we've only done it. We don't have it here at
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: our home stadium, you know, we have in different places,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: so we don't get to see it that much. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: think we only get to see it ten times. But
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: we'll see how it all plays out. You're not taking
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: your challenges home with you. I hope every every game
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: you use them, because why not you can't take.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Always should use them.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: We tell the players that if we have them, use them,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: But a lot of times they don't, whether they forget
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: they have them, you know, we tell them or uh.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: So you know, like I said, we'll see how how
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: it plays out. We'll see how it transpires about the league.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: But if they okay, so they go to this a BS,
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: they've taken away all kinds of calls. You can argue,
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: they've taken away running over the catcher, they've taken away
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: sliding into second base.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: What can you argue? How can you get ejected? What's
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: your way to get ejected now?
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Because if you can't argue balls and strikes, because that
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: was kind of like the last thing, you could go
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: out there and kick some dirt over the plate and
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: you know, do the whole thing. But now once that's gone,
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: you can't challenge anything else. So what what can you
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: get ejected? I guess I don't know.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna have to scream at an iPad.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: How's that?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: You have to throw and break the I then then
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Rizzo come catch you, be like maybe you're out here.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I'll dipe it. I'll get a nice I'll get a nice,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: a nice five. You'll have to pay for an iPad,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: which we do.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: But have you broken one? I have it? Have you
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: seen people break one? Oh?
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Like players are coaching both they.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Throw them, a slam them, they throw them. They you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: so it doesn't take much.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Do they get a bill in their locker of that?
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: We will definitely?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the next level kangaroo court.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Here's my prediction, though, Dave, on what you're saying, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: don't think you'll have a problem in twenty twenty six
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: with saying, hey, we're never using our challenges for abs.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: To me, it feels more like a spring training kind
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: of thing. I'm feeling it out. I think when a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: player feels like, you know, in the sixth inning of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a Major League game in twenty twenty six that they
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: got squeezed. They're going to be doing one of these.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be back, guys. We gotta hold this, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: we gotta save one for the night.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, we we've That's one thing that we're trying
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to learn. We're trying to teach the players and when
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: to use it. Yeah, how to use it. You know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: if you know, if you're a hitter, you know, it's
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: basically loaded, you know, and you've got a chance to
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: driving some big runs or and you know, they do
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: call it a strike that you don't think is a strike. Yeah,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: you know, if you know use it, you're right. I mean,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: that's when you want to use it for pictures. Same thing,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you know. I tell the catchers, hey, be smart when
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you use it, you know, big moments or but try
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to save them, you know, I really do, I said,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: trying to save him till we really need it. And
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: so so far, you know, they've been pretty good. We
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: got a guy in camp Millis who has been really
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: good at it. Apparently he was one of the best
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: in the minor leagues. Uh so we had him talk
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: to our catchers though, when when he felt like he
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: should use them and when he's you should use them.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: So it's a teaching moment. It's been good. He's been
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: good with it. So we'll see it. Like I said,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: we'll see how it plays out. OK, I have to
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: ask you for we let you go.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: You have Nationals sure, and you have a Nationals hat
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: on one has the curly W which is kind of
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: your logal and then the hat. What this is It's
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: like what I love New Era, but like what they
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: just were like, oh, we're just not going to do.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: The caulternate logo.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: But it's they don't even use that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: It's like spring training spring training hat hat.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Plus, the Navy is not really his Navy.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: I just always picture the Nationals is red like behind you,
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: I know, but it's always been red red everything.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting here and I'm looking at camera right for me,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: like so I'm colorblind a little bit, but I'm thinking
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: this is black, but I see your shirt right here.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: This is gray.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: My shorts are black, so yeah, that's this is more
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: of a Navy.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I don't know.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: I just saw that and I was like, man, because
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: I obviously I know the Nationals with this because then
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: and your announcers are like, you know, Curly Adobe, light
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: up the Curly w when you guys win.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: And all I can tell you is they put it
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: in my locker. I come in in the morning, I
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: grab it, put something on. So if you haven't throw
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: one of these tea shirts in my locker, I might
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: You're about to get on, I expect tomorrow when you
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: do your press conference.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Dave, awesome, to see you, great catching up, Thanks for
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Man, Good to see you guys. Awesome.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Dylan cruise back with us on foul territory. Dylan, good
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: to you, man. How you doing in camp?
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: What's going on? Scott? How you doing? Man? Good? Good?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: How you doing? Eric? Hey?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: So, so I want to get right to base because
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I know we got ten minutes with you. So first off,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've been told this before. You know, sometimes
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: when someone's talking to a younger player, they'll say, hey,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you should watch this guy. You're one of those guys
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: because you play the game well in every facet. So
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: my question for you, I don't think i've asked this
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: in the past couple of interviews that we've had. What's
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: your favorite tool, what's the favorite part of your game
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: when you think when you think about, you know, the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: way that you play ball.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I think my favorite tool will probably be like just
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the instinct tool, you know, just I think being a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: step ahead of you know, the opponent or something like that.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to have that advantage against other guys.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would say probably probably like the sixth
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: tool or something like that.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: The sixth tools, seacrats, there are more than five tools.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: I don't care what you say.
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: So this is your first camp where you're expected to
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: go in and make the team. Is it different? Is
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: it different than last year when you were here and
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: oh I got a chance. If I go out and
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: hit a thousand, I might get a chance to make it. Well,
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: you played in the major leagues, and now you're here
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: in camp with National's camp and everyone's looking at you
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: and mister Wood and they're saying, all right, this is
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: the future of the organization.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Is that a different feeling at this camp this year? Yeah?
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely it's good for me to kind
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of just almost prepare for something knowing that I'm going
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to be on a team, and you know, not kind
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of wonder where I'm going to be at almost You know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: last year was kind of an adjustment year too, as
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: far as you know, first spring spring training for me.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So this year is going a second time around, so
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: it's full go for me and the team. And but yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, we're not waiting for the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: future anymore.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: You know the futures now, all right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: So you talk about instincts. Half of instincts. Half of
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: stolen bases are instincts. The other half of speed, you
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: got some sneaky speed. Can we get a guess, can
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: we get a like your goal for stolen bases this year?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I would love to get forty for sure. I would
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: love to get that. That'd be fun.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Forty forty.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know about forty fourty doubles. Yeah, I hope,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: but I don't know about that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: So so one thing that we had we talked to
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: your manager earlier and he said on bass, swinging up
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: better pitches was the key for you. I don't need
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: to more stolen bases if you're on base more for sure,
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: do you just have the green light to go? That
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: was never stolen base guys, So I wouldn't even know
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: what that feels like.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like I have green light
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: most situations for sure, for sure. But I like we
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: talked about the sixth tool. You know what you want
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to run in good situations. You know, you don't want
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to run when Woody's in a good count, you know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, don't or two outs.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So I think it's all about knowing the right times
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to go and you know, just to I guess helped
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the team out.
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: You might still have some books from college in your car,
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: like you're that recently out of college but didn't study.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: They didn't study at LSU. What are you talking about?
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: We still had some tabs pulled up on his computer
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: for you know that the tutology, whatever classes you took.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got his MLB degree.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: What is that? What was the hardest thing about being
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: in the big leagues that you were like, wow, I
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: was surprised. Obviously everybody pitches, well, you know, wow, that
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: guy's got a lot of power. What was the hardest
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: thing because you went from the SEC essentially straight to
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: the big leagues.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I mean I would say, you know, we had the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: routines down and everything like that, so that wasn't a
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: big surprise for me. I mean, yeah, I guess everybody
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is the best player in their team, the best player
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in their country, the best player and you know, their
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: their state or whatever it is, so you got to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: prepare for that. I think, you know, just being a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: step ahead of these guys is the biggest advantage you
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: can have, really, But I.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Would say the hardest thing.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's that's a tough question because
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, they're all really good, they're
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: all very good.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: They're there for a reason.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: So you know, you just try to try to figure
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: out something that you can be. They can take you
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to the next level and whatever that is is is studying,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the studying the guys, stetting you know, the team and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: But yeah, we mentioned LSU earlier. There's another guy that
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: was on your team. Yeah he turned out, Okay, Yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: he's all right. Did you guys have a competition at LSU, Like,
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna go one, No, you're gonna go I'm the one.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I'm going to one because if.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: You're going into that year, you were kind of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: consensus guy. And then obviously, yeah, two isn't terrible, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: it was there.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: A competition between you guys when you were in baton Rouge.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I mean there's definitely moments where you mention it once
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: in a while.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: You face him in like live VP scrimmages and take
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: him deep and run.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Now, now, coach never really put us against each other.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You know, we uh we were either on the same
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: team or you know, not matched up the against each other.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: So but no, I mean there's definitely moments where, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: where we joke around, say, you know, I'm.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Gonna be one, y'arny be one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: But you know, we were so focused on winning a
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: championship that year.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm mad about that, so I'm gone.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: So and you, being from Florida, you should be ashamed
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: of yourself for beating them in the finals that year.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I wasn't too ashamed.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: I will say this my revenge though, Crouch and Scott
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: was my son played his high school and we hammered
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: him the other day.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: So that's my only revenge I can have.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well he'll take the l s U title.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah I'm sure. Yeah, I know, I'm aware. I'm aware,
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: but it's a small, small fraction of revenge.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: Great job, AJ, you really did a lot in that game.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I wasn't even at it. I wasn't even I was
• 25:01

• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Well, there's there's a couple. There's a steamboat Willie. You
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: even know you know steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse. Yeah, yeah,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: so's I said. I was into pop culture. So there's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: this Disney one hundred Japan series of Steamboat Willie. Well, anyways,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Steamboat Willy came out in like nineteen twenty four and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: all right'm sorry, nineteen twenty eight and a few years
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: it will be.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Twenty twenty eight.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that card, that Steamboat Willy one
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of the greatest icons in pop culture, the reason Mickey
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Mouse started and all that will be a huge card.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So I think if I collect this card, it may
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: be you know, it may explode here in a few years.
