  Speaker 1: Thanks for jumping on. Boys.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You guys are good always. But it's great to be
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a champion for sure, right, sure is? So I want
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to start with you, Miggy. You're like the unsung hero, right,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: but you know how much everybody believes in you, in
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that in that clubhouse and in that, in that in
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: this organization.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And so for you like to.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Stay ready, bro, you didn't play, You didn't play for
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: like them near like a month, bro, And for you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to stay ready, like, how long did it take for
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you to really kind of get into the kind of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a rhythm, Because not playing for a month is a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: long time, and like from our perspective, it's like you
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: came in in game six.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You don't have time to get in the rhythm.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm moving to be honest with you, I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: know I should remember that conversation that we had coming
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: out of the shower.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: A couple of days before I start.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah we did, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I asked you,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I checked on you, yes.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Move, you check on me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Three or four days before that happened, and it was
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: crazy because I wasn't feeling that great at that moment.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You know, if you asked me to play that day,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I probably wasn't gonna be as lucked in or girl
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: as I was in Game six. And that's what I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I attribute everything that I date to you guys, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to my teammates and to the guys who were maybe
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: on the roster at that moment. And seeing the energy
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: of everybody kind of like fighting for the same thing
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: keme me motivated to say, you know what, I might
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: get an opportunity here and I need to be ready
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: for the boys, because I think my answer was I
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: can be I can be negative about what's happening right now.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I need to stay positive for the boys because we've
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: been doing this for so long and it would be
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: really selfish for me not to be ready. If my
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: name is called and then I'm not ready to go
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and play, then Game six, like you say, I got
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the chance to play, dog gave me a good couple
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: of days in advance. And even though that doesn't mean
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: anything when you you haven't get at a bat or
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: anything like that I felt like I was ready mentally
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to help and I wanted to contribute.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Like everybody all doing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: And I think one of the things from our team
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that we can take forever is like do your part.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't matter what you're doing, you need to.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Do your part. And I think that's what gave me
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: kind of like ready to go.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And when I step up on second base, I say,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: do my part, and I need to just catch my
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: ground balls, make the place and see what the result
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: is gonna make.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You did it, I mean, shoot it and the ball
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: will find you. Because like there was a couple of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: plays you had a bare hand that was kind of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that was nasty. We turned the double play a double
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: plays and then the last that last pick was like poetry, Bro,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it was poetry. K through it and you were kind
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of get You got to the bag a little late,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and Bro, Beck, I don't know how you caught.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: That and stayed on the base. It was nasty. Bro.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I just feel like it's God given.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you talk to me about Bro, your hands are
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: nasty or whatever you do is on the field. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: can't really explain or teach you how to do that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It's something that I really do. That same thing with
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: you lady season and playing baseball and hitting these balls
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and making this place and jump throws when you haven't
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: played shortstop in a long time and you just make
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: up a jump throw from the whole. It's something that
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you don't really teach.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I just feel like that's.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Something that I mean, when you're competing and you want
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to win and you want it us bad.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like it just happened in the natural. So
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: shout out to you man, thank you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously everybody thanks you, but it was just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: really dope to see Robot.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I want to get to you, bro. You so you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: come on. You weren't on the roster at first the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: first or I was.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I was on the wild card, Wow, car not on
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: the DS to start, and then Tanner has a little
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: thing so and I was on for the last game
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: of that and then CS I was there, but I
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: didn't pitch.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So how how was like being there with not pitching?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I know obviously throughout the season, right you would go, yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: kind of on a schedule late especially.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: A little bit, yeah, a little bit when you think
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: have a high lever drama like yeah, it was. It's
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: been a crazy year for me. I'd never relieved or
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: done anything out of the bullpen before, and it's just,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: you know, credit to Kirby and everybody down there, like
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: just helping me out and telling me how to do
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: it and everything else. But kind of that last month,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: just kind of getting the chance to be a real
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: reliever helped me a lot. That outing against Arizona helped
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: me a lot. But yeah, it was just it was
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: a lot of fun to be on the rosters. But
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: our our starters were so good that like, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: it was gonna be vest and trying in. It was
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: gonna be you know, those guys Rokie finishing the game
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: out there's.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Only two to three innings left and cheer the boys on.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: I was joking there was one game where I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: it was in the CS where my ORR ring like
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: it said, I took a nap when I was in
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: the bullpen because I didn't move for so long, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: uh so, just chilling but staying ready at the same time,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: you know, trying to throw lives, trying to do all
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: that stuff.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And then you get in some of these high leverage
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: situations like and this is your first time doing all
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: How did you, uh.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Like and you kept you kept some I mean I
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: know when you hit Jiminez or whatever, that kind of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like woke the boys up a little bit, like because
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: you you immediately went walked straight out and that kind
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of got it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I think that the kind of gotta woke us up.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, like, hey, I'm not actively thinking about anything
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: like that when I'm out there, but it's like, you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: like if you're gonna say something to me, I'm gonna
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: say something back. If you got a problem, I'm gonna
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: say something back. And you know, it's just a we're
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: all competitors out there, it's not hers.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's exactly you did an amazing job bro and staying ready.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And I appreciate it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You're gonna keep on getting better. You keep that that attitude. Bro.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I love it that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Every time you step out there, I appreciate this, So
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: keep doing that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all it's all thanks to you guys.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, since I came up last year, it's been
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: a lot of ups and downs for me and just
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: kind of leaning on all these guys have so much
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: talent and so much, you know, experience and doing it
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: at the highest level, just kind of watching how not
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: not just pictures, but you know you guys, just watching
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: you guys do your thing every day and you know
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: it's it helps me a lot.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: And yeah, it's been it's been super, super helpful.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: So I appreciate you guys, and I wouldn't be here
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: without with all the boys.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And and you said, Curb helped you a lot.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I want to get to you, Curb, because you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: this year was kind of like a trying year for you,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: especially coming off of what you were what you were doing,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and and like I know we all go through it, right,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and but the way you stayed curby every day and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the way you helped the young guys, and the way
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you showed up every day, bro.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Even know you didn't pitch, you.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Played just as big as role as all the guys
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: that played every day bro. Like for real, I truly
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I think everybody would say this, you're you. You kept
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: us going, you kept us alive. So first of all,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: thank you for always being Curb. But tell me about that, like,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: because it's a different part, probably something you had really experienced,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like sharing knowledge to to some of the young guys
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and those type of things.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, look, I think the one thing with the
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: young guys that we got, they're so incredibly talented, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: I think when you come and watch them pitch, it's
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: like they don't need a whole lot, and like everybody's like, well,
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: what do you tell them?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, don't tell them anything.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Just to go out there and be yourself, Like that's
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: gonna be good enough because you guys are really good. Yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: and just try and still confidence in them because this
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: league is hard, man, and like you know, like confidence
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: is everything, and like if you can stay up and
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: stay ahead of it, like you're probably gonna be successful
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: regardless of who you are, how talented you are or whatever.
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: And it's just, you know, one of those things like
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: I don't think, you know, I'm glad that they say
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: I helped them, but like I probably just gave them
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: a little nudge.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: From your perspective.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know how you how they how they're
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: taking it. So appreciate it all right, I appreciate it. Yeah,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I appreciateiate it. Well, thank you brother, y'all. You guys
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: go ahead, man, enjoy the party. Well coming through all right,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna go in order with hot guys
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: kind of guy here. So Blake, you know, I thought
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: it was hilarious that we played against each other our
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: whole careers. I think I have the most at bats
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in my career off a picture, I think it's you
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: gotta be I'm happy to say we're on the same side.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Finally we were on the backfield eighteen years old. Man,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I'm up here this dude. Oh gosh, I've been facing
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: for that long. And so now we're on joined forces.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: In our first year together, we we win the World Series. Bro.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So you were rolling, like, tell me like that run
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that you were going like in the chain, tell me
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like what how?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: What how? You just got rolling like that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It's not out of left field either, like you once too,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: You've got too started young. So like I've seen, I've
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: been on the hitting side of it, but now on
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: being on the on the same side, Like, how do
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: you do that?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Bro?
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just a it's really just a mindset. You
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: have one good start, you figure it out, and you
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: start piecing it together and then you just lock it
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: like I mean, you know, like when you're hitting, you
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: just lock in and start telling yourself like you're the
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: best in the world, like prove it, prove it. Just
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: keep challenging yourself, and then the games just they just
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: start stacking up and then the whole like you just
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: keep that same approach, same mindset, attack, attack, attack, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: and it's able to happen, and you just go and
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: take off and I'm able to do.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It, and then you're doing it here and these like
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: being in La, how how was that doing it?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Like like this?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: I like it more in LA because it's more. You know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: when you do bad, people talk talk more. When you're good,
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: they talk more. So it's both sides of it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But that's what I wanted. It seemed like you loved it, bro,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Like you seem like you made for laid out. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, I like that. I like it. People
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: talk shit too, and I like that.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, I want to I want to talk
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to everybody about like the eighteen inning game. From my perspective,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, it's gonna take a homer,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But like, what did y'all see anything else? Because I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: thought it was one of the most boring eighteen inning
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: games that I've ever been a part of.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs, a lot of fly balls.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: It was just five balls.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Guys try to hit homers. But that's the beauty of it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: You got two teams, two pitching staffs.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And did you say it was boring?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like as far as as far as like we
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: didn't have any action, Like it was just homers.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But I loved it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, damn, we didn't have any Like. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: feel like the eleventh inning game was way more action
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: packed in a tighter and tighter You say, no, I mean,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: nothing's gonna.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Top that one. Like that one, but I think it
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: was game seven to Yeah, it makes game maybe the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: eighteen In the game though, it was like up until
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the ninth.
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: Extra, but I mean, if you could have scored a
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: run earlier, we're so old. Our team is so old,
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: so tired the next two you know what I mean,
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: That's what it felt like.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, oh my god, early there we
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: were dragon last.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Two Freddy Freddy, he has a knack for just hitting
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: homers in those big situations.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I'm just tired, man.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You want to go home, and it worked. You want
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to go home.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Tried like three different times, Yeah, and and and twenty
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: two from like from your perspective. I want to hear
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a little bit about you from from you, Like how
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: was that one of the best series is that You've
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: ever been a part of, like one to one to seven?
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I've been I've been one other seven
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: Game World series and we lost that one.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So this one is well there's an a on that one,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: but we we we won this one, and so this
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: one was unbelievable.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Man, Like what was the pa him that made it hard?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Because like, I'm not a pitcher, so I don't know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: but I want to hear from a pitching perspective, like
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: what was it about it about them that made it
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: so hard to Because there's they're they're getting, they're getting
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: ten hits a game.
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: They got they got some guys hot, like Clement was
• 12:21
  Speaker 9: just hot. It didn't matter what you threw that guy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: And then Vladi was hot, and he's he's also a superstar,
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: so you got that going. And then you know, then
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: they have guys like Kirk, you know who just like
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: battles and grinds. He's a catcher, he knows what's coming.
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: He fouls off pitches. Barger was hot.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: He had six multi hit games.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Man, so it's just like bow on one leg
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: was yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Hit was like oh my gosh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Their offense was clicking one through one through nine
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: basically there.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So when you when you're when you're facing a lineup
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: like that has a picture like what do you do?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Just try not to give up damage?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Or is it like what do you?
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I mean Blake had to start again so he can
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: answer that better than me.
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean I just kept learning through Like
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: watching the games, I was like, okay, if you double up,
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: they kind of like get an idea on that. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: just felt like they, like my first two starts, I
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: just felt like they were on everything, like you couldn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: really fool them, and I I didn't feel that it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: hard calling.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Pitches like that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know how many times it looked over
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: at Mark and the dugout like, hey, I don't know
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: what to do.
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: Just give me something like give me a little confidence
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: in some pitch that I can give a picture like
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: that happened so many times during that series.
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: They had a magic wand it was just like it
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: was two and three balls below the zone. It was
• 13:38
  Speaker 10: just fine finding space.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It was always a hit.
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: Always, it was always a hit, if I'm being honest
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: by we played a lot of playoffs series that this
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: is one that stood out, like, like you guys in eighteen,
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: not many teams that we play against the like in
• 13:56
  Speaker 11: like in the playoffs have like a team wide approach,
• 14:00
  Speaker 11: and it seemed like that team they were on a
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: team approach, and that to me, that was a big
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: difference compared to some of the other teams we played.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: And I was looking and I was I was, uh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: you know, you've heard where the Snyders like Dave vers
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: lithe and all other stuff, and I definitely understand that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: And then I looked back and I'm like, well, they
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: really they hit better than us, because you know last
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: year the Padres, they were like we felt like they
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: were like they were a better team, but we just
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: we won, like we played played a better series X,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Y and Z. This team, I'm like, well, yeah, they
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: did get hot, but the rest of it is, like
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking about our team, we just played like this
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the whole time.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: We never really got up and we never got down.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: We just played like this the whole.
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: We won a World series and we didn't play good
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: at all all throughout the playoffs, the whole play good,
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: and we won a World series like this.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: That's how nasty we were, and that's that's that's something
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for us to be proud of. Though.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Starters were pretty good.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Star starters, you guys.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Stars are pretty good.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You the Yoshi.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: What Yoshi did was under that was so set. I'll
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: never forget that. Never he o zero days rest. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: mean obviously the World Series, but even like all the
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: other series.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean every every gaming pitch.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: It's not even that he went on zero days rest.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: He was on zero day's rest and looked the same
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: as if he has six years.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm like, how do you do that.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Today?
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: I forgot to ask him how he felt today? Was
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: really sore on the bus yesterday? He was like sure,
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: So anyways, Yeah, that that was a That was a
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: great ride, bros. That was That was one of the
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: most Team one World Series or teams that I've been
• 15:50
  Speaker 12: a part of, where everybody literally contributed. Tell me about
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: that that moment when you came out of the bullpen
• 15:57
  Speaker 12: and you you you gotta get a out.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Were you going for a punchy or what were you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: going for just an out?
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I was loose. I'd been up four times. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: was down there, just ready to go. I was throwing gas,
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: throwing gas. My slider was about as the same speed
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: and movement as my fastball at that point. But finally
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: that three to two one actually went the other way. Yeah,
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: so he rolled over on it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: So it was good. It took me like five of them,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: but I got one good one and he rolled over.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And have you ever had like have you ever felt
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know you have obviously been in big situations,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: but like that was your first time coming in like that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'd come out of the pen before
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: But uh, the only weather one like that was twenty
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: sixteen when guys were on base when against the Nationals.
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: This that was the last time, like the game was
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: on the line with guys on base, last time I
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: did that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So it's a long time. I mean, that's eight years ago.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Tell me about it, you know, so on like one
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: day rest, yep, Yeah, but this one I was I
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: had plenty of days and I was loose and I
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: got it out. So but yeah, man, looking back for
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: that to be the last time I ever pitched.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Is you let you?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Let you?
• 17:07
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You gave it a nice ah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, yeah, I just had to do it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to. I just had to do it. Yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: it felt good.
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: He ask him about if he knew that we had
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: won the World Series.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I didn't know we won the World Series? Did you
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: know that?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: What you mean?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I had no idea we won the World Series? I had.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: I was warming up and I saw a lot of
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: hit the double so I started getting going faster. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: didn't see uh Connor full off. I call him awful
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: every time.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I know. I'm sorry he bunted. I didn't see that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: And so I saw, uh, you know, Barger's on first
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: with the walk and so Kirk grounds of the double play,
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: and I'm thinking, okay, two outs, run scores games tied,
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: we got Lefty var show up. I'm in the game,
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: and then barows just look in my face, why are
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: you throwing it's over?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: We won the World Series? Yeah, he's the one telling
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: me won the World Series.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So you look out there to confirm that we were.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I looked out and I looked at him and he
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: said we won the World Series. Like, oh, okay, that's great.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I had no idea.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, that's good.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Anyways, I've said it a thousand times. It's been a
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: pleasure of twenty two. Enjoy your retirement, will I will.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: What are you going to get into?
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know. No, I mean something, I just I

• 18:58
  Speaker 4: my list.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You ain't as we'll become a pilot or something.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Because I don't have hobbies and talents like you. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: can't learn a guitar.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I can't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I can't. I don't do that. I play baseball and
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: I take care of kids. That's all I know. But
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: if I tried that, I get so frustrated, I break
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: the guitar.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Over my knee. Got to try it all.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: But anyways, thanks, thank you guys for coming to a C.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. You get traded over
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and then you're around all these guys.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: How was it?
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's unbelievable.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: You never know, like when you walk into the new
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: locker room what's gonna be like, But especially when you
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: got Hall of Famer and all stars everywhere, it's like
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: you don't know how you're gonna gel or mix. But
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: you guys are awesome and I felt right at home
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: just try to do my thing.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: It was day what was it?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Day one?
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: I had the Oculus son and NIGGI road takes a
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: picture of you know, so I was just like, hey,
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: well this is my routine and whatever, and you know
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: I can take a little ribbing and then you know
• 20:02
  Speaker 10: it's like, oh, that's that's what he does.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: And I was just able to be my own skin.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It was good and kicks. When you were laying on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the ground, bro like, did did did what happened? I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: thought we lost? What you mean?
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I had the ball.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Because you were running in like it looked like you
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: were about to catch it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: Took a bad job because Ernie Clement like took that
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: like half swing thing, and the ball looked from left.
• 20:29
  Speaker 13: Field like it was going to bounce.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: So I figured he's gonna dump one in front of
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: another one in front of me, like he did like
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: seven times.
• 20:37
  Speaker 13: So I half step in and then I'm like, oh no,
• 20:39
  Speaker 13: this ball is really far away from me.
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: So I'm running full speed and as I finally, you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: World Series on the line, I'm like, I need to
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: catch this.
• 20:46
  Speaker 13: I got to run through a wall, run through a wall.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: And then I'm like, all right, I got it, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: I'm slowing down and I'm about to pull a Willie
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: May's catch, and out of nowhere, I got posterized.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, my first thought. Came over and Randy moust
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you thought, yeah, my.
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: First I had it. He jumped over me. Now we lost.
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: So I'm on the ground and I hear silence, but
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: I think it's because my brain is protecting me from heartbreak.
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: And we had just lost the World Series and Piaus
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: came and asked me, are you okay? And I was like,
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: forget about me. Did you catch it?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He goes yeah, And I was like oh yeah, okay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that's why the smile. I thought we lost the World Series.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Nice all right, Well, yeah, I don't want to keep
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you guys man, go enjoy the party.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I love you, guys man, Thank.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: You, thank you.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: All right, boys, So.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Both of you guys hit essentially the Homers that won
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the World Series. Months you Savage right there. He's a
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: reverse guy, so he's really harder or lefties. And I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: don't think anybody really saw him good. It wasn't like
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: he's a really good picture. Obviously. I'm not saying he's
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: any anything. But his slider was messed. I could not
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: see it through. I couldn't. I was just swinging and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: missing and you come up but you get a splitter though,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: well I mean the splitter and the slider did the
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: exact same thing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: One was just slower, you know, and they were spinning
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: a little different.
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: But you know, to me, and I said this in
• 22:18
  Speaker 14: one of the Hitters meetings, I said, I want to
• 22:20
  Speaker 14: treat him like I'm facing a left handed picture that's
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: just throwing down sliders. So you know, that was my
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: whole approach, was like, Okay, if I'm facing a lefty,
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: this has got to start at me, and it's got
• 22:31
  Speaker 14: to be up because when you usually when you face
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: a riding and the ball starts at you, you're you're
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: jumping out the way, and you know, the first couple
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: of times I faced him, I did jump out of
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: the way.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I don't know what I'm looking
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: at right here, and.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: He throws the splitter. You hit a homer? What do
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: you How do you feel like once you hit that homer?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: What was going through ahead? Not necessarily about you, but
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: about the game. Because when you hit that home run,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we got a chance of winning this game.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 22:55
  Speaker 14: I wasn't sure, I'll be honest, I mean because I
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: hit the home run and the first you know, I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: sitting there in the box like I know I got it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: So I kind of walk out of it a little bit,
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: and I'm like, I don't know how much emotion I
• 23:06
  Speaker 14: should be showing right now.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: We're still down by one.
• 23:08
  Speaker 14: I didn't want to be like when we're watching, you know,
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: the dude hitting the you know, the home run and
• 23:14
  Speaker 14: they're still down by six or whatever it was. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: so I was like, I don't know how much emotion
• 23:17
  Speaker 14: I should be showing right now. But then in the
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: back of my head, I said, this at least guarantees
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: show Hey gets up one more time, which is huge,
• 23:24
  Speaker 14: and so I was like, we this gives us a chance,
• 23:27
  Speaker 14: like it gets us closer, and it gives us a
• 23:28
  Speaker 14: chance because I know Sho Hay is getting up one
• 23:30
  Speaker 14: more time.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And then and then obviously Migi Row hits the home.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's like when Migi Ro hit the home where I'm like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: we're gonna win this game. We're going to backdoor and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: win this game, especially because Yoshi was on the mount.
• 23:42
  Speaker 14: You know what's funny is I had this feeling all
• 23:45
  Speaker 14: game seven that we were gonna come back and win
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: that game. But I had this feeling all game six
• 23:49
  Speaker 14: that we were going to find a way to lose
• 23:50
  Speaker 14: that thing. You know, yeah, it was you know, we
• 23:54
  Speaker 14: kept going three and out towards the end there, and
• 23:55
  Speaker 14: I was like, the crowd's getting into us, We're gonna
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: lose this game. But then on the flip side games
• 24:00
  Speaker 14: and I was like, we're gonna come back. The crowd
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: kept getting.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Quieter and quieter.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I was like, we're gonna find a way to win
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: this game.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: And then Submitte, you come up bro, you hit your homer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Obviously you're not trying to hit a homer, but you're
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: trying to make something happen. When we got Bieber with
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: who shoved against us, how was you feeling that, especially
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: when you moved it hitting second, which was a huge
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: smart move by Doc because he needed someone to really
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: hit behind the show because they were walking show every
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: single time.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And you come in and you you you doing your thing,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: like tell me, take me through, like you your thought process,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and then you hit the homer.
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you know, I honestly prepared for Bieber
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: earlier in the game. We had talked about it on
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: the meeting and like how I was going to kind
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: of face them, and we faced them a few days prior.
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: He threw me a couple of cutters, got me on
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: some cutters and and.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: All those things.
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: Just stay up the middle, you know, get him in
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: the air, stam up the middle and just get on
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: base and like Freddy do his thing.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And then you clipped it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: As soon as you hit as soon as you clipped
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: what happened? Like the instant that you hit it? What
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: what went through your head?
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just hoping it's getting far enough. I mean, how
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: many balls we hit.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: There that there was there was just came up not
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: as far as you like constantly the whole series. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: I'm just like, please get out, like please, we need
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: to run here. You know, it's game seven, it's it's sick.
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: And then it goes I'm like, you know, holy cow,
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: like I don't, I just just running what do you?
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: Big high five? Run around waving the bullpen, come in,
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: fired up for the guys, and then like you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: I just hear key in the back. Hey we got
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: to get three more outs. I'm like, oh yeah, like
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: switching gears, how the heck are you gonna?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah? How were you feeling? And you had to put
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the fingers down with yosh And that was kind of
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a tricky situation to get through leading off, and he
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: it's it bro you every pitch that you called, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: then Laddie bat that he hit the double, I'm like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that's a great pitch. And then he out of the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: fast ball.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Kept taking it too. So I didn't really have an
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: idea where he was looking.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Dude, I don't think anybody knew. Nobody knew he was
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: bobbing every time, every time, every single time we would.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: That series was so impressive, sticking to his approach, you know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Every every and then double fastball? What else?
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: What else could you have thrown?
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: Maybe a splitter, but like, you don't want to walk
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: him there, you don't like honestly, I thought about going
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: curveball right there, just to he hadn't seen any at
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: that bat and then got him. He was kind of
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: zooing the curve ball, so I didn't want to like
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: throw something competitive.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: You know, we had jammed a few times on some heaters.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: You just happened to pull the sime instead of hitting
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: the center, which is crazy.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: How did he know?
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But whatever that that doesn't matter. So then boom boom,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you're navigating through the situation. Then you you get two
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: once we got to o two to Kirk because anytime
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: before two strikes with Kirk, I'm not expecting anything on
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the ground. I'm expecting him to hit it fair, especially
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: because he doesn't really swing it miss much.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Then you got to two him, like, I mean, I'm
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: going for a punch out right there. Okay, you're going
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to want to get a chance to get a double
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: play because I didn't think he was going to punch out.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: He was going to punch out.
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: That's the mindset right there. Punch You don't want to
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: move in this ball something happening. You want to punch
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: out to outs get the next guy. That's what you're thinking. Okay,
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: then it hits it right too, and then he hits
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: the hill ground ball.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I mean when he got to O two, from my thought,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I was like, he may be to hit a groundball now,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, I thought at no point once
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: he punched out first and third, Alejandro Kirk. But hey,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: you you know you do you think?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: All right? So do y'all go ahead?
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Do you think?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Man? Thanks for coming on months. I love you, bro,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: You're good? All right? All right?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Boys, So I want to talk to you guys. You pictures, man,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you pictures. I was talking to the other pictures and
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I was like navigating that lineup. It seemed like it
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: was really tough. And then in that eighteen any game
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you did what you did? How like, at what point
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: where you like, man, I'm done or it was adrenaline
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: just flowing?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't I don't think the adrenalines
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: really stopped.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think we could have kept going.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I was glad to see. Uh yeah, I'm a woman
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: up there in the nineteenth Okay, okay, that was that
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: was fun.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: You uh you had you ever done anything like that before.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Not not as reliever or as a professional all really.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: So that was your first time with everything.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: You just never done four before, not not in pro ball.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: No, I started like four games junior year of college.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: But making you a starter, now I have a feeling.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Then we got enough of you guys.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for real, that was nasty fill glass. And then
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you come in and uh obviously you do your thing
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: throughout playoffs and you come in and relief a couple
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of times. And I remember coming. I remember asking you, like,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: did you like it? You said you liked it. So
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: when you came in to relief, I think the game seven,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: how many energy pitch?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I was what two and a third and seven? And
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: then I got three outs game six?
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: How was that?
• 28:58
  Speaker 15: Did you enjoy the It's cool. It's just so you
• 29:00
  Speaker 15: don't have as much time to think. I think it's
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: it's different. It's just like starting. You have your whole thing,
• 29:04
  Speaker 15: you prepare all day long. You're a little nervous throughout
• 29:06
  Speaker 15: the day you kind of have that like weird stomach feeling,
• 29:08
  Speaker 15: which is like fun and annoying at the same time.
• 29:10
  Speaker 15: But in the bullpen, it's just like you can be
• 29:13
  Speaker 15: not warmed up at all in the phone rings and
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: you're just like I'm ready, I'm ready to go.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: You throw four pitches, you feel good.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: You know it's crazy because you were talking and stuff
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: throughout the day. Yeah, and I'm like, damn, but he
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: knows he's hot tonight.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: But it's different though.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're so you're more normal if you're in
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the bullpen. Yeah, I think that you're not normal.
• 29:31
  Speaker 15: Yeah, but like starting I think yeah, because the whole
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: day you're preparing and you have like an idea what
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: you're doing, so your mind is like half like consciously
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: there consciously what you're doing. You're just trying to be
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: normal throughout the day to like get it cause you
• 29:41
  Speaker 15: have that. It's like taking a test you've been preparing for.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: You you know what I mean. You have like this
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: thing you're preparing for. You're trying to do it as
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: a bullpen.
• 29:48
  Speaker 15: You know what you want to do, but you don't
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: know when you're getting in necessarily in the role that
• 29:51
  Speaker 15: I was in, I had no idea.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So you just throw you in there, and so you
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: there's no way to like mentally be like that and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you may not pitch.
• 29:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that's probably the hardest part about the
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: bullpen is like you're always like that, right, You're always
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: like on edge, and then like sometimes you pitch, sometimes
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: you don't. I even talking to curse too. It's just
• 30:07
  Speaker 15: like I think you just you like lose weight and
• 30:10
  Speaker 15: you burn so many more calories than you do as
• 30:12
  Speaker 15: a starter. You're always on edge. It's like always like
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: constant anxiety during the game, You're always moving around. It's
• 30:16
  Speaker 15: just different. It's like the same thing once you get
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: out there. It's pitching, but it's wild like the differences
• 30:21
  Speaker 15: between the two.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: How was it, How was it for you navigating through
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: their lineup? Like was it just like you're throwing your
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: stuff or pretty normal like you? I mean, obviously they
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: had some guys that were Yeah. I think like out
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: of all the teams we played, for.
• 30:34
  Speaker 15: Sure, I knew the Blue Jays would be the hardest team.
• 30:36
  Speaker 15: I think even when they were playing Seattle and they
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: were down.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, something's gonna happen.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: They're gonna win, like I just know it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: I think against the Rays too, they always gave me trouble.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: The Blue Jays are always been really good.
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: They were probably one of like the top three offensive
• 30:47
  Speaker 15: team the last like five years.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: In a row. They have like every offensive category.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: They've always been good.
• 30:52
  Speaker 15: But it is I think it's more like I'll go
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: to my strengths, but like there are some there's certain
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: things on the skouting report that are like glaring weaknesses,
• 30:58
  Speaker 15: but like it didn't really work.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: They're a really good team and they did. They did
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: a lot of really good things. This series.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Was it hard?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: So you see us go down we're down for to
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: boom boom boom? Was it hard to keep the vibes up?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Or how was how was that?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: No?
• 31:16
  Speaker 16: Actually, you know what, I don't know if it was
• 31:18
  Speaker 16: you that I said it too. As soon as bo
• 31:19
  Speaker 16: hit that homer the three we went down three nothing,
• 31:22
  Speaker 16: I was like, it's about to be a wild game
• 31:25
  Speaker 16: because like I never felt like we were out.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: We needed to just get punched in the face one time.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: That was the one thing about the series I thought
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: was it was always just neck and neck. It wasn't
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: like they did something catastrophic where like we need to answer,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: and I felt like that was what we needed in
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: a weird way. It was like, all right, they're going
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: to turn it on right here.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I remember saying when when they punched us in the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: face right there, you know what.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I think a low key moment where we swung back
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: was when Robleski hit him And it wasn't because he
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: meant to, but it was it was like, we're right
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: here and Robo right on the man.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, we're in this.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: We say we're in this effing game. He said, we're
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: in this fing game before he walked off, and I
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: felt like that was our swing back, Like, I agree,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: We didn't need to get punched in the face. Yeah,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to kind of talk to you guys. Man.
