  Speaker 2: spoke a few weeks ago, what happened between when we
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: spoke and then you signing with Detroit to make it happen?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I think things just started to pick up
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with them, conversations started to pick up. I don't necessarily
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: know like what changed or what led to the like
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: conversation picking up.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I don't really know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It just maybe it was just part of timing and everything.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe I couldn't give you a real right answer. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: just got to a point where we got started to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: get really close. A matter of days and things happened.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I was sitting at my mom's house and was, uh,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I was gonna, was like saying bye to her, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: basically like I don't know I'm to see you again.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm as sign soon or whatnot.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And then I got from with my agent and I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm probably gonna this is probably gonna
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: be done in the next like hour or two or
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: just going over some details. And I was like giving
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it to her and and she was like, oh okay, like
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: kind of the same way it went the year before,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: where things just happened, happened really quickly and don't really
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: know what changes, what things start to pick up.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It was nice to be able to, you know, give
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: her a hug. And I got back on the plane
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to go back home and and just you know, be
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: able to say by to her. And it was kind
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of crazy how quickly it happens.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Jack, Do you think you can take your earbuds out
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and maybe, uh see if the cause you're kind of
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: cutting in and out sometimes gar pods out and see
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: if that does that help.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Let's see. Yeah, just because it in me, I can
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: hear you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Now. Does that is that better? Boys?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think that's better. Yeah, Yeah, it's nice.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, is that enough time?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Because you hear about all you hear about dudes like
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: getting ready to go to spring training and you're you're
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: ramping it up.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: It's like, like, how quick was it?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Because everything's taken in Lakeland. But everything's been taken in
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Lakeland for like fifteen years, so you're just you're fine
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: on that end, but like how much how much is
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: that speed of Like BAM signed Pictures and Catchers in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: thirteen days?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it wasn't even thirteen days.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It was signed, and hey, you know, in two days,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we need you in Detroit for physicals and everything and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: got to run through MRIs and all that, and then
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in a week later you got to report to Lakeland once.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Once we signed, once everything signs, So it was like
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: all right, So I got to be able to figure
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: out how to pack everything up and get everything together,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and that was for me, that was the bigger issue
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: as opposed to like where I was at physically and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: where I was at body wise, Like I was in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a really good place, like I was ready to I've
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: been ready to go, and you know, through another pen
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to day in front of them and things of things
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: have gone well. But in terms of just like getting
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: up and being like okay, I got to get to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Detroit in two days and then I gotta I gotta
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get down to Florida and you know, still figuring out
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you know, everything else all the other all the other
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: little things, which is which is a bigger deal. But
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in terms of where my body's at in the way
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that I felt, you know, I tried to put myself
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in a good situation that if something like this was
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to happen, then I'd be ready to go.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: All right, Well, now you're in Now you're in Lakeland,

  Speaker 1: all of like, get all of those out the way,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: get the emotions out the way, everything, and you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited for it. I'm also just excited to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: compete against those guys. You know that that'll be that'll
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: be the first one.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I talked to somebody last night who's seen the ring.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: He said, it's pretty gaudy, it's pretty crazy, like.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: The top pops off.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: But anyway, anyway that you'll you'll be excited about it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Could look like AJ's World Series ring and you would
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: still be excited about it. But it's it's Dodger style,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: so there's there's something crazy enough.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would expect nothing less. I would expect that.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what what I was expecting. So, uh,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know, again, like you said, it could have been anything,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but the second I ring goes that I get to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: see it and put it on my finger. I'm gonna
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: be you know, who knows, who knows what kind of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: emotions will come up. It'll it'll be emotional, be it'll
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: be a lot, and then it'll be about competing against
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: those guys and trying to pick up a couple of
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: wins there.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: All right, Now, you saw Pavetta sign with the Padres.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: So Nick Pavetta was you know, his contract's way different,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: different stipulations, all that stuff. Nothing about Pavetta. Do you
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: think it was very visible that there was beef between
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you and the.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Padres in the playoffs?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Playoffs, everything gets gets gets blown out of proportion.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like one instance, because.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I couldn't go back and look at any other instances
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: that there was any beef between you and the Padres,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: do you feel like one instance could keep a free
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: agent away from a team in the sense of like,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: man that guy because it was you and Manny and
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: man he's just you know, he's one of the leaders
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: on that team. Do you think that could keep a
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: marquee free agent or a team from going after a
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: marquie free agent?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, because I heard from Mike
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Schultz two days ago congratulating me. I've known him since since,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you know, we were both in Saint Louis together. Him
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and I talked later that series. We caught up before
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Game five and just kind of talked over things, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you know, we both talked about like it's who was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: two competitors.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I've got nothing but respect for Manny.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I got another respect for like how good he is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and in the type of player he is, and he's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: gonna compete and he's gonna stand up for his guys,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and that's that's who he is. And you know, I said,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like the emotions got like completely carried away.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: It was a really emotional series.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: There was a lot going on, and it had been
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: something that had been back and forth between both those
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: teams for the last couple of years, and you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the two of us got caught in the middle of it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So you know, I, I don't know. I'm happy for Nick.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for for for his situation and the fact
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that he you know, didn't have to wait too long
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: in the spring and I can knock it out in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the first couple of Days's that's what's unbelievable.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Dude, one of one of those guys that you that
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you really pull for, so.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I I would love to talk to me
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: many about it someday, just like and just go over it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Like I felt that, like emotionally, like I got my
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: emotions got in the way a little bit.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And I mean I think we just both we both
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: like to compete, and.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: It uh, it came out in a very aggressive way
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: on both sides.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Listen, it's the playoffs. It doesn't matter.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: It's O.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: You're over it, Okay. You know what you do to Manny.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: That's what you do when you see him the first
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: time when you guys play the padres because every team
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: plays them, you take your ring out and you just
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: walk by Manny just like this with it on your
• 12:26

• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be put away.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Quick. Fun fact, the Padres don't play the Tigers. Is
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: that true? Nobody?
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Everybody? Everybody?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Michael, Yeah, Michael, behind the scenes just messed me up.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Embarrassing anyway, all right, Well, this is when he'll bring
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it out award ceremony, go in aside, and then that's
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the perfect place to bring it out, right in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: winter time after the season at the award ceremony. So Jack,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: thanks for doing that. This man great to have the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: post contract signing. And obviously we'll see if some of
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: us will be there in Lakeland, so we'll see as soon.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Dude, let me know, let me know if you want
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: to play some golf. And it's not that far so
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I'm always looking for partners.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: All right, sounds good.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that can't be right now. I'm just gonna spend
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: three minutes during the break here.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Everybody plays everybody, Now, that's the whole point. Every other
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: year you get to see every team at your home park.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: That was the whole schedule thing.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Listen, Michael, Michael's legit. Michael, it's a lot, right, It's okay,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: it's okay.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: He's still arguing with us. No, no, no, I'm just
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: digging in.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I don't see them really.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: So did they change that? Did they change that?
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: Everybody's supposed to unless the Tigers have a natural rival
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: like the Cubs, White Sox, you lose a series somewhere
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: because they have to play each other twice, where some
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: teams only play once.
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Maybe that was the team they lost.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Wow, I'm going through right now. Nah, they don't play him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Well never mind, Michael. You're still not wrong, You're still perfect.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: You're still perfect, Michael.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Michael, you need to send a follow up to Jack
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and say, screw the ft host.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: You talk about baseball every day. I actually more.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Than them and we don't know anything.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Wow. Wait, I'm now super curious. I thought that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I thought everything scheduling was Yeah, obviously you don't play
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: them home and road, but everybody plays everyone at least
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: one time.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: This must be a football show.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Hmm.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: This is gonna like dominate this. This is where my
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: head starts to It's going.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: To dominate your brain the rest of the day.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to dominate my day until I'm gonna have
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to text Jason Stark or somebody.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe I think we're right. I think we're right. He said,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: you guys are right. Oh yes, wait ah, they do
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: play them in April. Wait, wait, guess what.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: This morning, I'm on a sales call and we're going
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: through a schedule and I'm like, Yo, you'll never believe this.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: The MLB site has a glitch, and it was on
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: every website and it's still up on the MLB team
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: site right now. It goes from March to May. If
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you go to the schedule. Oh, I had this mess
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: up a sales call this morning. We were planning another
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: FT show on the road, and I'm like, did they
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: get rid of April?
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: I'm literally I'm literally trying to find the schedule right now.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: I'm on MLB app. I can't even find, like the schedule.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: How do I pull up just the Padres schedule. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: can't even find a place to click it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the app but on web right
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: because I'm on my computer right now, everybody watching right
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: now go to a team on MLB dot com and
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: go to their schedule. They're getting paid for every click,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: so they'll appreciate it. But also there's a massive glitch
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: going on right now where you're missing April and people
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: are freaking out thinking it's y two K and there's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: no more April.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: April twenty first is when the Padres play the Tigers.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, here we go, we've got Angels Catcher
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: logan o'happy you're in camp, dude, we checked in throughout
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the off season.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Now here you are.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: Great.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Kratz hats there too, but yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: Look crats hell yet could finally be out of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: cold weather.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Great to see you look like you're glowing now with
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the with the sunshine hitting the face, the whole deal.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: So actually, my first question is I heard that the
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the facility now is banging, So can you give us
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the loadown? Oh, we got pictures, give us the lowdown
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: because this was highly anticipated for years and I said
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: this on yesterday, so I truly think this is going
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to change the way player development works there.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: So but you tell me, yeah, one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: Hundred percent, it's been sick. Being here makes it even
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: better being down to camp. Everyone's obviously pretty excited, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: hop into a clubhouse like that and facilities like that,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: it's pretty cool and uh, more importantly than anything, in
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: my opinion, I think it gives the younger guys something
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: work up towards as well, Like the young guys here
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: in camp, but they come and see it, they want
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: to be more a part of it, and I think
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: that's huge. So, I mean, it's always great coming to
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: Spring everyone's excited, but all the more reason to.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Now wait, so the young guys would come over to
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: big leag camp and they didn't want to lift in
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a tent.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: I wasn't here for any of that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: But yeah, this is a much better setup than anything
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: we've had before, that's for sure.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: What's what's your favorite part? Because Mike frost Ad sent
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: me those Frosty your head trainer. You don't see the
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: trainer because you always stay one hundred percent healthy, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: he sent me those picks. He sent me some of
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: his favorite things. What's your favorite thing? And you're like, whoa,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: we're kind of big league down here now.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: My favorite thing is the clubhouse, for sure. It's an
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: awesome setup. Got a bunch of space, it's not crammed,
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: and everything's flown pretty well.
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: So that's the best spot in my opinion.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: All right, who's your locker next to? I want to
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: know because we had an argument about locker set up.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: So who's your locker next to?
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: In spring, I am moving up in the world.
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: I have an empty locker next to me, and I
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: am sharing that one with Kakuchi.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Oh wow?
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: For yes, yeah, I don't know who I have to
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: pay off to make that happen. But I'm happy I
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: earned the spot next to him, and yeah, it's nice
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: to have an extra space next to me, for sure.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: I tell you who you pay off? You pay off guy,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: You pay off guy, that's pay off. You need to
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: take care of a guy, all right. So my question is
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: I thought you'd be I thought you'd be next to Darnel.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: So where is Travis and what's the relationship like? And
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: if you guys talked about like you're like, hey, listen,
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: I'm going to Hoppy, I'm playing one hundred and forty, Travis,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: take your time. You get twenty this year.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: Trav is I think four down from me. We're on
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: the same wall.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: But it's been great picking Trav's brain and he knows
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: so much and he's been for a while.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: So we talked.
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: I mean I talked to Trapp probably the most out
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: of anybody in the offseason, from the second he had
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: reached out to me and told me that he signed
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: with us. So yeah, I mean, those those conversations have
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: continued and I don't think it's ever gonna end.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: But is that your empty locker? Because I always had
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: this argument with people like who's empty locker? Is that
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: because Coakuchi's got like he needs at least some space
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: for sixty six million of things that he got in
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: the offseason.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: So do you consider that yours?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: And does he sit there and like draw a tape
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: line down the middle and say, hey, make sure you
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: stay on your half.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: No, we haven't talked about that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: But considering that he punched my ticket I think four
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: or five times, maybe more than that last year, that's
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: his space for sure.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: So I'm gonna let him have that one.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: You just hang your jeans up in there, only your
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: jeans and your and your polo in a polo?
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: Did you did you come through today?
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: I don't know if you're like if you know what's
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: going on already or Frost gave me that's that's exactly
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: what's happened. My street clothes and in that empty one
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: bright pressed against mine.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Listen, I had to good stuff done here. Hop Okay,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: it's unbelievable.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: Hop you had You had a couple off season signings
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: here recently, Kenley Janssen one year, ten million? How excited
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: you to, uh, you know, see what he has behind
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: a plate, see that cut piece, and you know hitting
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: him I know we've all hit him. It's hard to hit,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: so now catching it, Uh, talk a little about a
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: little bit about him and what he's going to bring
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: to the table.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I haven't heard that it's official around here yet,
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: so hypothetically, if we were to sign him.
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: It would, uh, it would be pretty pretty great. I'm
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: looking forward to hopefully getting the chance to do it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: And uh, yeah, I'm happy I don't have a bat
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: in my hand anymore because that was an uncomfortable at
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: bat last year for sure. And having that presence around
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: of guy that's done, especially for the guys in the bullpen,
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: is going to be huge and I'm excited to see
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: what they learn as well, and I think we'll all
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: be better because of it.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Logan, we have a kind of running joke on this
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: show that you know, it's White Sox West or Braves West,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: however you want to look at it. I mean, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: guys have a ton of ex Braves guys. You have
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: a ton of ex White Sox guys. What's it like
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: going in there saying seeing guys like Tim Anderson, Joel
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Mancata and then sal f Asano's there now right, I mean,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: you got washed, you got o Porter. You got Eric
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: Young Senior. I mean, it's like, man, the angels are
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: going back to their roots here. So what's it like
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: looking at these guys and trying forget the White Sox
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: because they stick? I love Tim Anderson Moncatta is there now.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: But let's talk about the braves, right. They want me
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: to dig into the White Sox. But the braves have won.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: The braves have been good. So what's it like having
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: that kind of air over your new your camp?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you said it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Being around guys that have done it in one is
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: the biggest thing I think anyone that comes from any
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: team that's one before you want to get around guys
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: like that. And we're lucky to have a few of them,
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: obviously Sally being here and Trav Wash and everybody else.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: That was over in Atlanta.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: It's a lot of experience, you know, And I'm grateful
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: to have guys like that because we do ask a
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: lot of questions, and we do ask what was it like?
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: And how do we get there? And how do we
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: improve this? And huge value to our clubhouse as a whole,
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: and hopefully we can do that ourselves one day, so
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: then we could just keep building off one another.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Has sal gone on his diatrage about how I know
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: he's working with pictures, but has he gone on his
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: diatrage about how he had nine different ways to block
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: home plate? Or is salf Asano kept silent so far
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: in spring training?
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: I haven't heard that yet.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: Learned a lot from Sale already on some different things
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: behind the plate, whether it be receiving or just working
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: through bullpens and things like that. But I'm going to
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: ask him about that tomorrow because it's pretty impressive nine ways.
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: I don't know if we can do all nine anymore
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: with the new rules. I'm interested to see what he
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: has to say.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't anymore, but it's still it's still worth
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: it to listen to. You might need a meal to
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: listen to it. Have you seen Rendon at all in practice?
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: We just heard that he got a we you know
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: he got hip surgery. Did he come through the facility
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: before that, like during Yall's physicals or anything.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Not. All the position players are here yet.
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: I haven't seen a lot of guys yet, but I
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: talked to Tony a little bit in the off season.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: Obviously tough news to hear that with all of us
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: in that room yesterday. I think it was so we're
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: gonna support him every way we can.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Did you hear, I mean during the off seasons he say, hey, man,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: my hip's just been you know some things. You're like,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the off season's coming, You're like, Okay, I'm gonna build
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: this up. I'm gonna try to you know, push this out,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: try to help this. Did he ever mention anything like that,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: how that you know his hip was bugging him and
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: it just came to a head where he needed surgery
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: here in the end of the off season.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: No, I hadn't heard anything from him. I mean, knowing Tony,
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: he's he's always working on his body and doing the
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: work to do it. So or there weren't any signs
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: last season. It was just him going about his work
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: the right way and getting himself back. So now I
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: hadn't heard anything, and like I said, obviously tough to hear,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: and we'll be there for him every chance we can.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw. I know it's a
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: different team, but Marcus Stroman hasn't shown up to camp yet.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: He is physical. He didn't show up to camp yet.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Because a rule that I didn't know, you don't have
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: to show up until February twenty second. If one of
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: your teammates doesn't show up till February twenty second, are
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: you sitting there because we had a big debate and argument.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Are you sitting there going why is that dude not here?
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Or this is a distraction because we had both sides
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: of the spectrum when we were talking about the argument.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: I think it's dependent on the situation and the dude.
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: You know, Obviously, things happen, And as much as I
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: love this game and as much as I love being here,
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: I know, in my case, hypothetically speaking, if something were
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: to happen to my family or God forbid, anything super
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: important like that happened, then that would take the priority.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: And and I know things that happen with different guys,
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: you know. So I think it's depending on the situation.
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: So I don't have a clear cut answer on it,
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: because I know things do happen.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, good stuff, logan.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Logan, how many bullpens? How many bullpens have you caught?
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: So far?
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: Ray Montgomery, our bench coach has been taking care of me.
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: So I had had two on day zero, two yesterday,
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: and then one today, So got a leg.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Now got that got that.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: I ran myself into the ground enough last year that
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: I'm learning that less is more sometimes, so I'm trying
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: to keep body in shape.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: He caught you, got Tyler Anderson. You probably caught Ckucci
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: because I saw a picture of Kakuchi with Darnault standing
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: there watching, so he clearly wasn't catching him. So I
