  Speaker 2: whether I do it right or do it wrong.

  Speaker 2: Whether my only focus is rehabbing and pitching, or whether,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: like I still try to grow in a lot of things.

  Speaker 2: So might as well take advantage of the time saying yeah,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: like getting back to pitching is my north star, Like, oh,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that's a priority. I want to get back to pitching.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I want to come back better than ever. But I
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: also don't want twelve months to go by where like
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: where time go? Or like what else did I do

• 1:27
  Speaker 3: month recovery process, and also how it feels sitting on
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the sidelines as the Twins starting rotation navigates a tricky
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: year full of injuries across the board, but still being
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: one of the team's strengths this year. So we'll get
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: to that interview in just a second. After that, we'll
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: talk about the Twins series opening lost to the Royals

  Speaker 3: All that coming up, but first, our great interview with
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Pablo Lopez. Enjoy. All right, welcome back to the show.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Pablo Lopez is here, Twins starting Pitcher joins us. Where
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: are you right now?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Pablo? Are you in Minnesota?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: This is Target Field right now?
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: You're at Target.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I just got done working out, just got done in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the training room. I'm probably still sweating after my workout,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: but wanted to fit this in.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So thank you guys for having me.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you for thank thank you for being here.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. First of all, how are things going,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: how's rehab? How's everything looking?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Everything's looking great. I've been hitting all of my marks
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: right now. Yesterday was Wednesday, so it was fourteen weeks.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: We're fast approaching to the seventeen week mark, which after surgery,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty symbolic mark because then I'm going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: start doing two handed like pliometrics, so like with met balls,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: doing two handed throws, soccer throws, all kinds of things.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So it's the first step. We we're introducing a.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Little bit of laid back to the elbow to the ligament,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: couple throws, like a little a little bit of those motions.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So everything's been feeling really well.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Everything leading up to that point is just strengthening, building
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: capacity and the conditioning aspect of it, the mobility, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: reshaping my whole body. So like you know, once you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: hear your lowest point, you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Just open to the biggest change.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So like you know, let me just break myself down
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to pieces and then just put it together even better
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: than it was before. So just taking advantage of the time,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know, like obviously I was giving all this time
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to work out and work on myself without thinking that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be tired to pitch, so might as
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: well just do the best that I can.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: And that's where the truly fascinating part of this is
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: is last week, Zach, We're in Chicago at a rate field,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Twins are playing the White Sox and it's about, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: don't know, the second inning and or right before the game,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: and you see Pablo heading into the bullpen and this
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: is you know, usually that happens about forty minutes before
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: game and going out and getting a start, and this
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: was an entirely different thing. Pablo was shadowing Anderson Dale Rosa,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: the Twins bullpen catcher. You have also acted as the
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: interpreter for the team at times, because it's funny the
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Twins started the season and they had no players that
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: actually needed Spanish interpretation at the time. Since Kendriy Rojas
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: and Joan Deroscomes have joined the club and they need interpreters.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: But you've done those two roles so far. But what
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: else have you been doing, like sort of unique stuff
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: that you'd never done before? And why like why did
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: you want to shadow the bullpen catcher for a day?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean a lot of it is just to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: occupy my time, but also like you know, like I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: told all job because she asked me the same thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I'm calling these like side quests, So like I'm finding
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: these little activities that otherwise I probably wouldn't do if
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'm active, when I'm active on the roaster, so might
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: as well just.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Branch out learn.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: A few things or just to keep myself like BC
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: or engage in areas, you know, like the world of rehab,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: especially a long one becomes very like routine oriented and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you do the same thing over and over. So this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: is just like it gives me like a little bit
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: opportunity to take a step back and then like enjoy
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: or like be grateful for a lot of things but
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: also like it takes it puts into perspective all of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the work that a lot of people do, you know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I shadowed Pete McKie and I got to see firsthand
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: how he goes about his reports, the preparation, how much
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you know, how much time before the game, before the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: series he spends giving us the best information. With Anderson
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: de la Ross, our booping catch and one of my
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: really good friends. I just wanted to see the dynamic
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of the bullpens, which I thought it was super cool.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I got to be in the bullpen a few times
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in the minor leagues or my first big Leak spring training,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and the Boopen is just a different It's a different vibe,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's a different danamage.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: At least in the minor leagues.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: It was a lawless place because there's not even a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: boopend coach in the minor leagues. It was just like
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the oldest guy in the bullpen was like the bullpen coach,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: but it was just a lawless kind of uh. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun to vibes are different, so
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that was really cool to see. Whenever, like the phone rang,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: how everyone just shifted their focus to the phone and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like Troy Hawkins are voting coach and then whoever name
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they are the team wanted to get hot. You know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like the demeanor, the attitude, the face completely changed because
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's go time.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's game time for them.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, like I also started doing like the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the Moment segment for twin CV and that I did
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it with Andrew Morris and Connor Prilly, So a little
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: bit of that too, a little bit of TV time,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you know, learn from the best from all during how
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: she goes about her business. So I was all for
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: giving that a shot and translating it's been fun. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: love it, or interpreting, sorry you tell me it's interpreting.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Interpreting has been fun. And I mean it's hard. It's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: hard to talk to the media. It's hard to say
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: things on live TV. So if I'm if I'm able
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: to provide some help for the guys that are you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: wanting to wanted to like say, say a few things
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: here and there, you know, like by all means, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: again it's another side quest that I get to do.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And next month and and I joined Corey up in
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: the booth. So we gave down on a shut last
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: year for only one game, and I think it's gonna
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: be way more than one game this year, which I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: all foreign, and just I've been in the I've been
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: able to be in a couple of the hitters meetings
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: before they prepare for the game. So I've been in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the room for a few of those, and see how
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you know, same thing, how many numbers the hitting coaches
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: pull up to provide the hitters with the most precise
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: concise information, tendencies, patterns of the guys they will be facing.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So sitting in a few of.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Those just brought me a lot of perspective of like, oh,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: like this is this could be how other teams prepare
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: when I'm about to pitch, you know, like the numbers
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the day that they throw out there.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So that was also pretty eye opening for me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: With with interpreting, like how old were you when you
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: felt comfortable giving your own first English interview? Like was
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: that something that was natural to you or was that
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: something did you use interpreters early in your career too?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: No, I never used an interpreter, and I just I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: enjoy public speaking. It doesn't really finds me or anything
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: like I'm able to I mean in school, I used
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to give ton tons of presentations or projects and all
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of that, and my dad used to tell me, you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it's all about projecting yourself with confidence, you know, like
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and the cool thing about confidence, no one knows if
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it's real or fake. So just be eloquent, say things
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: in a low manner, you know, sound confidence, pronounce your words,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: enunciate your words. So my first English interview, I think
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it was in twenty sixteen. I was going through a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: really good strength in low Way, the Clinton lumber Kings,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and then one of the local newspapers wanted me for
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: like an interview, so that was my first one, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: then getting called up to the big leagues in twenty eighteen.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: The same day I got called up, that was the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: first time that I had like a camera in front
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of me and like another cup big writers going on.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But I was able to you know, I was able
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to say the things I wanted to say and give
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the message I was trying to give. So, you know, thankfully,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say it's easy, because nothing.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Really is easy.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But I was able to find a good grounding when
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: it came to you know, talking to the media or
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: live TV or things like that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Did you did you the first had you interpreted before
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: this for anybody besides you know, these guys.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: In the minor leagues.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I would alone, like when I was in the low levels,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: probably like rookie ball low way a little bit. If
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: no one in our coaching staff was Spanish speaking and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: they wanted to like give a message to the group
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: or someone specific, I would like interpret like you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the coaching directions or like if it was just to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a specific group.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I would do that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: During extended spring training back in twenty fifteen, I did
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it a couple of times, but it was just because
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I knew I spoke the language and I did it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I did some interpreting when like no one
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: else in the room could do it. You know, obviously
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: these year is the first time that I'm doing it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We're like, okay, something that's going to be printed on
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: paper or where someone's gonna actually like use like that
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: for like an article or something.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But I've been enjoying it so far.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say one thing that stands out, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: you can always tell when someone's new at it is
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: you do it in first person. So if Kendrick Rojas
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: says something, you're speaking as him, and you can see
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: it when guys do it for the first time and
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: they're not used to it. They'll do it in third
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: person and say he's saying this, and it's like no,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: but we need you to pretend like you're him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: This is it's so.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Funny, how that how much that means to An interview in.

  Speaker 5: Okay, anyways, aside from that, so look, this is something
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: clearly that you are doing. This would not be something
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: that you would be doing unless you wanted to. What
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: is this What are all these side quests doing for
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: you during this period because obviously, you know, obviously the
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: rehab side of things is is very there's a lot
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: of work going on there. But like, what is this
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: giving you during this kind of down period where you're
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: not because you are traveling with the team and you
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: are around the guys, So, like, what's that kind of providing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: To you while you're going through this.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's just it's bringing me a lot of perspective.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It's bringing me a lot of appreciation for what everyone
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: does around me. It brings me a lot of like
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: admiration because you know, like it's the big leaks whoever,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: it's at this level, it's the best or the alite.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Of what we do.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So it just brings a lot of appreciation for that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It brings me a lot of perspective. And it's also
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: like when I think of like going through rehab, I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: think of like getting better getting back to pitching, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I also think of like growth.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I want to evolve.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I want to get better in a lot of different things,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: because we all know it's like a year long rehab
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and twelve months are going to go by whether I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: do it right or do it wrong. Twelve months are
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: going to go by whether my only focus is rehabbing
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and pitching, or whether like I still try to grow
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and a lot of things. So might as well take
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: advantage of the time saying yeah, like getting back to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: pitching is my my north star, Like, oh, that's a priority.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I want to get back to pitching. I want to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: come back better.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Than ever, But I also don't want to wants to
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: go by where like where time go or like what
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: else did I do with my time? What else did
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I do with my twelve months? So this is just
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: like a way of like staying engaged with you know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: things that I want to learn, things that I may
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: want to do in the future, or just like different
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: ways to support like the team, not just the players,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: but everyone else around us, and being with the team
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: also provides me with a lot of like saying in
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the present moment, in the present moment, not getting too
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: ahead of myself, not getting two down if I'm feeling
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: you know, like you know, like through rehab you have
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: those really down days where like the routines like catching
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: up to you or like you have a realization mom
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: where like okay, like I'm three months out of surgery,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: it's still nine more months. So like staying with the group,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: saying in these environments like okay, but like it keeps
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: me looking forward. This is the environment I want to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: get back to. This is where I belong to.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: This where I'm going.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be next year, if and if I'm
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: going to be here next year, let me do it
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: with being a better version of myself.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Oh it's cool, that's really cool, Pablo.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Your injury was a brutal blow, obviously for a team
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that was expecting starting pitching to be a strength. It
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: still has been a strength, even though most of the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: staff has endured some kind of injuries. But I'm sure
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: it's hard to sit there and watch it, But has
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: it been inspiring in some ways to watch the starting
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: rotation still fight through it. And be one of the
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: positives of the team this year.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: It's always inspiring to see the starting pitcher, the starting
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: pitchers like picking up where they left up, where there's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: like with what they're working on. You know a lot
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: of these young guys in spring training they were working
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in some things and you know, when you're young, you're like, okay,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: like I have time to work on this because I'm
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: probably not gonna make the team right away. And then
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: like things happen, injuries are ever pressent. They're always going
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to show well but unexpected times, and then like to
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: see these guys coming up and then still pick up
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: where they left over where like they're performing, they're having
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: good results while working or doing the things that we're
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: supposed to get better.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, like Connorpe with the curve.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Ball, it's a new and he's getting a lot of
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: like swing and miss with it, at Tash with the splitter,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: throwing it more. And so it's like really cool to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: see these guys feel inspired and confident enough to show
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: up and then fill up whatever shoes they have to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: feel or like help out in any way they can.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And just do their things.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So It's really inspired from a starting pictures picture perspective,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: because you know, like I get to un fortunate enough
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that I get to be in the dog out to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: watch them perform, and then I watch them throw their
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: boopings when my when my time works out and I'm
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: able to go out there and like I like to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: like watch a few of those here and there with
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the home on the road. But start, you can never
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: have enough starting pitching pitching in We've been challenged, we've
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: been tested by having to you know, call someone up
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that it's is happy to get that opportunity and he's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: happy to like bring us like a lot of good
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: quality inning.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So it's been really fun to see that from from
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the dog Out.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Well, hey, look, I know you've got another meeting come
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: up here, so we'll let you go, but I want
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: to ask before you go, any other interesting side quests
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: planned coming up here? Anything you want to dive into,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: maybe like check out the beer sales during the game,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: or you know, do something around the stadium.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Well, one day I want to I want to shadow
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Mitch hest which was kind enough to borrow me his
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: desk right now to for this interview. So he's going
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: to be the next one, even though last year when
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: he had me in the press books he told me
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: good and cheer, which was shocking for me. But maybe
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: one day I'll I'll be sitting next to him during
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: That's that's awesome. I know fans loved when you were
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: in the booth last year, so I'm sure that'll be
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: something they look forward to here in the next couple
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: of months. But thank you so much for the time,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: and we really thank you appreciate You're our first guest
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: on Twin Cities territory, so thank you take for us.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: But all right, that was our interview with Pablo. The
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: first thing I should point out is that you are
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: correct in and thank you for for educating the players.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: That interpreter refers to somebody who works with the spoken
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: word and translator is written text, so very well done.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: But that's that's my big takeaway from the interview.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: I learned that an angry emailer years ago told me
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: about it, and I have taken it ever since. I
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: think it was when Jose Bray you when I covered him,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: and he used an interpreter, not a translator. So I
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: passed it along to Pablo because I thought he'd like
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: to know that, because he is the kind of guy
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: who actually would like to know that kind of information.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I wish we could have like like had
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: some advertisements leading up to this, so we could say
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: a very special episode of Twin Cities Live, whatever the
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: hell that is.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: The more you know, rainbow going across them?
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, like it felt like this was
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: a PSA, like how injured players. Actually he's a unicorn.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: There's no way, you know, what he's doing is so unique.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: It's it's just why I wanted to talk him into
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: coming on and tell him about it, because it's not
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: a lot of guys do something like this.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: It was super interesting just hear you know, his philosophy
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: about like the clip I started the show with the
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: you know like it's going to be twelve months, is
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: going to be twelve months. Might as well make the
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: most of it, like you don't want to look at
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: like where did the time go? And you know it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: it's smart, like and was that breaking news that he's
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: going to be back on the Twins broadcast next month?
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Do we think or do we do?
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: No? No, no, no, no, that's I think I think that's.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Out there okay, but yeah, but yeah, he's thinking about,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you know, broadening himself and preparing for whatever's next whenever
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: baseball's done, hopefully not for a long time, but it
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: was it was good to hear that he, I mean,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: is feeling good about his progress and hitting all his
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: markers as he said, for sure too.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's funny that he's always a curious dude,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: like it's probably helped him in pitching, probably helps him
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: in life. And it's just fascinating to hear people who
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: have kind of advanced behind processes like that talk about it,
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: because you just not a lot of people do that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: They would just be glum and I got twelve months?
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: What am I going to do? How am I gonna
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: fill this time? And privately he has said that it
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: will get harder when he is close, when he feels
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: starts to feel real good and he's like, why am
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I not throwing that? And that comes up in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: next month or two. I believe he said work because
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: he has to wait till twenty four weeks at least.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I think he has to wait till August twelfth for
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: the next the MRI, and then at that point he
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: can he's hoping that it's there that he gets to
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: start throwing around mid August, but it might be a
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: little bit longer and you so it's going to be
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: an interesting summer for him, and him being around the
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: team is probably a really good thing for his psyche.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Well good for his psyche.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Didn't help a whole lot last night, A sloppy did
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: not I don't blame I don't blame you, Pablo, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: sloppy loss to the Royals as the Twins lose the
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: opener of a four game set with k C. They're
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: twenty nine and thirty five now. Two more errors, including
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: one that looked like me in my softball game last night,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: with a pop up that that fell at a bad time.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: But then it was.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: A rain delay.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: It was a bullpen game, just a disjointed effort all around.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: It seemed like great way for my eleventh straight day
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: to end. I was pumped for that rain delay last night.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Well, right, that's another point. It's the thirteenth straight day
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: with the game for the team, so.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: It was the fourteenth for them, and I actually think
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: that might've been like, it wouldn't shock me if that's
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: playing into some of the sloppiness. Fourteenth straight days without
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: a break. Who knows, but there have been five hours
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: at shortstop this week on the home stand, three on Wednesday.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: In that game, we were trying to describe it and
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: get past as briefly as possible on our last show,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: but it's just too sloppy. And the six walks. Last
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: night we saw Justin Lawrence come in in a tight
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: spot after Taylor Rodgers give two hits and walk the
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: first batter. The problem as the one thing that really
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: does add up when you give those outs away. When
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: you extend the lineup, pitching matchups go away like teams
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: see those favorable runs of hey, let's get our left
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: end for these four batters, and by the time a
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: walker and like, it pushes those matchups, the favorable matchups
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: out of the way and you then are scrambling. And
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: in a game like that where you use Andrew Morris
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: to start the game, and typically and Morris would pitch
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: later in a game when you use him and you're
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: then you're forced to go to some other guys. But like,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I got why they wanted to use him to start.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: He's been electric and he throws a hundred. He's it's
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: just I'm sorry.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I'm just noticing the feet in the background.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Is that our friend? Is that a friend Tom back there? Yes?
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: That apparently that is a that's our landlord's feet in
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: the background of the photo.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I did not for those watching on YouTube, there's there's
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: a pair of feet chilling on the couch behind in.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: But uh, for those for those who are I apologize,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: that is hilarious.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Well, you know you usually think for like, I'm always
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: worried the cats in the background at home and here
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: apparently it's a feat.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Someone always wants to make a cameo Tyler's kid, my kid,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: your landlord's feet, your cats, Like someone's always trying to
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: get in on the show.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: That's amazing. But no, so you know, I look the
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: point Shelton made afterwards, and Shelton was very critical. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: was very brief postgame session. It's like a fifty eight
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: second postgame session. Last night, he was he came in
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: and he was like, sloppy, We're just way too sloppy.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: This was terrible, can't give away out, can't walk the batters.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: And his point was that it just it you lose
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: your your ability to match up the way you want to.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure that kind of put them in the
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: spot they had to use Taylor Rodgers late last night.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Taylor Rodgers they would prefer to use in the spot
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: where there's more lefties and not good righty hitters like
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: he's struggled.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: With that a little bit.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: We saw him come in and man, Kansas City was
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: able to line up its bench in that ninth inning rally.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: You saw it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: They pinch it either three or four guys, and there's
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: a pinch runner two. So they emptied the bench and
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: they put together the winning rally was enough when you
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: have two mediocre teams and actually Kansas City is terrible
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: and the Twins are playing you know, mediocre would be
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: a nice thing for them right now because that they
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: just it's it's been a sloppy stretch here, one in
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: six after Boston on that road trip and two and
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: two so far, and you know this is we talked
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: about their today. They need to be playing better and
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: and uh, when we have a chance against teams that
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: were like Kansas City Detroit three.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: More games against Kansas City are now one in three
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: against the Royals, I believe this season. Yeah, after the
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: that that series way back in the first week of
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the year. They took one of of the three in
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Kansas City, Zebi Matthews against Michael Waka Friday night, that's tonight.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon game is Joe Ryan against l Winder Avila,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: and Sunday afternoon the finale Connor pre Lip and Noah Cameron.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Zebie Matthews and Connor Prelip, of course two of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: two of the starters who have kind of been forced
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: into the mix given the injuries across the board. Basically
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: all of the Twins opening rotation starters have experienced some
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: injuries this year. But some good news perhaps Dan on
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: the injury front, as Mick Abel was spotted throwing off
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: the mound at Target Field yesterday.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mickabel, He's last pitched April fourteenth, so we're getting
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: pretty far down the road. He went on the aisle
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: tip like I guess technically he went on the aisle
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: April seventeenth with right elbow inflammation. At one point. He
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: had a little bit of a setback in early May
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: when he was thrown in the bullpen. He had some
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: tricep soreness and got court zone shot. But for him yesterday.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: He is at the point where he threw thirty seven
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: pitches off the mound. He faced live hitters, he hit
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: ninety seven. He was throwing his off speed. He looked good.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: He described it as free and easy. He's pretty excited.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Twins have to be two. The telltale will be Friday
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: afternoon when he gets in and does he feel good.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: And if he feels good, then he gets a light
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: bullpen session in between, and then they'll determine what's next
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: for him, Like do they on do they take him
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: with him to Detroit and he gets another live batting
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: practice against his teammates before a game, or does he
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: potentially go to the minor leagues and make a rehab start.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: You know, two, three innings, slowly building up, so the
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: process is getting there for him. You know, it's to
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: get to five innings to get to the pitch count.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: It's still another fifteen twenty days. You know, it's probably
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: if everything went great, it's probably twenty ish days before
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: we see him the majors. Maybe they bring him back
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: early because he could throw four innings. Maybe, like maybe
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: with the way the state of the pitching staff, they
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: would they're going to take their time, no matter what.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: They want to care for this guy. They think he
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: can be a star. So but it's a great sign
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: for them no matter what, even if, you know, even
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: if they felt comfortable going two three innings and then
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: slowly building up. I mean, there's a way to do
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: it. It just depends on how desperate they are. But they'll
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: they'll take their time for a little while here. He's
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: too valuable. We saw it. Thirteen innings in his last
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: two starts, no runs, sixteen strikeouts. The goods are there,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: the fastball is there, the off speed command is good.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: Getting mckabel back, and I mentioned in my story today,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Kendrick Rojas also has started, like resumed playing catch, and
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: he has been down a shorter period with his left
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: elbow inflammation. He got some kind of treatment anti inflammatory
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: and reacted very well to that too, So I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: he will. We might see him before we see Mike Abel,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: because Kendrick Rojas was going forty five sixty pitches, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: you know that's easier to build back up to, especially
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: since the timedown isn't nearly as long as able.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: So good signs.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: The Twins need both those guys and get them in
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: the mix again.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mickabel twenty four years old, his second year in
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: the BIGS, and it was he made four starts. The
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: first two were very different than the last two. Dan,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: you mentioned the thirteen and hes scoreless in his last two,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: which is why the twins are so and fans too
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: are excited to get him back and see what he
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: can do. But the first two outings are pretty rocky,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: but he certainly turned it around the last two, so
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: that would be some welcome relief. Although despite what I
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: wrote down, there still a little bit of a ways
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: away before we see mckabel pitching at.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Least a full game again.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: But it's certainly a good point that if they think
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: he's healthy enough to go and could use him in
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: some sort of capacity given the state of the pitching staff,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: we'll see. I have to ask you about this one
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: as well. Dan Bailey over also hurts Adam to the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: list recently filed a formal complaint over the state of
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the baseballs in Boston the.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Day he got hurt.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: It was it was a it was a rainy day,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the balls were obviously slick, and what exactly is he
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: saying did or didn't happen?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: As I put my.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Okay. Bailey Ober and Derek Shelton filed complaints, Shelton with
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: the league, over with the PA Players Association, and basically
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: it was that Boston didn't rub up the base balls
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: with the mud before the game, like every game. That's
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: the idea is to make the ball so it's not slick,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: so that they pitchers can grip it and have better control,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: you know, command the pitches where they want to, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: not put batter's lives in danger. Well, Bailey said it
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: there day. He told me and Bobby Nightingale the Start
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Tribute two days ago that he'd filed a complaint. And
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: the gist of it is that that day, the Sunday,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you remember, it was kind of rainy.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: There was a chance they weren't even going to play.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: He thinks they just forgot to do it. But what
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: happens is when you can't grip the ball, it goes everywhere.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: And he said, you have to grip it extra tight,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: and he thinks that's what led to his flip flexor strain.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: He's shut down right now, ten to fourteen days. You know,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: it's definitely possible, and Bailey Over is not the guy
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: that kind of does this stuff. He's the guy that
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: pitched last year through hip discomfort and need discomfort to
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: his detriment all of June and got a nine ERA
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: in June they had one of the worst months in
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Major League history, and made no excuses for himself. So
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: when I think when I hear this, you know, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: it's it's definitely something that Register says, wait what when
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: you hear it? But also, like when you know the
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: track record, it doesn't you know, he's not the kind
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: of guy that brings stuff up lightly. And I know
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: that before he registered the complaint, he talked to Sonny Gray,
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: former twin. Sonny pitch for the Red Sox that day.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Sonny was generally speaking about the conditions that day, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: in his interview, I think he said brutal four to
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: six times in the same sentence or two. And you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: like I said, Bailey signed. Bailey decided to go forward
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: with the complaint once he heard Sonny kind of agree
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: with him on the ball.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: So seven times seven times the quote is brutal, brutal, brutal,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: absolutely brutal. It was brutal for everyone. It was brutal
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: for everyone, but it was brutal.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Sonny was a brutal I think, so, yeah, I.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: Know, I know it's it's it's interesting people are going
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: to say making excuses, but I think when you when
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: you look at who the guy is, Bailey does not
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: strike me as someone that makes excuses. And he's pissed
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: and and you know, I think like he's upset that
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: he was having a good season that's been a little
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: bit derailed. And you know, if there's some credence to it,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: I get why you speak up, but there's not anything
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: that really can be Like I think it's just get
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: it out there because I don't think there's anything that
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: could be done. Like it's not like they're gonna take
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: the guy that rubs up the baseballs and let players
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: throw a ball at him, or you know, there's what
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: kind of I don't know what the punishment is, do
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like, I'm not.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Sure you can't uninjure him.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: So that's really.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Right, and you don't find someone it if it happened
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: that way that they think it did, you know that
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: they just forgot because the game was starting. Who knows, man,
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: It's it's filed under away under a weird baseball story.
• 31:46
