  Speaker 1: Twin starter Bailey over is with us on FT. Good
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to see again Bailey has everything.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: What's going on? Guys, Thanks for having me.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. Now you happen to be
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: joining us on a day when there's been quite a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: bit of controversy, so we definitely want to get your
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: take on a couple instances that happened last night. Let's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: actually start with the Rockies and the Giants getting into it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: First off, we rarely see real fisticuffs, like actual punches
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: being thrown. We don't condone the violence, but it's different.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's mostly just the pushing and shovving. So just general question,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: when you saw that go down with real actual punches
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and shoving, what did you think and whose side are
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you on in that one?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I mean, it's definitely entertaining from
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: a fan aspect whenever something like that happens. So whenever
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: we see something like that happening across the league, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: kind of keep her ears up and pay attention and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: see what the heck's going on.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's I.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Don't know if I'm on the side for anyone, obviously,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I want to be as respectful, respectful as possible to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: every of the single one of these guys that are
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: in this league. Obviously, Freelm took exception to how Devers
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: hit that home run, and Endeavors did not like whatever
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Freeland was saying. So it escalated from there and guys
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: came charging in and then you've got to see some
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: some some punches being thrown and pushing and shoving.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: The reaction of the Giants guys. The reaction of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Giants guys tells me there was a little bit more
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: to that than what we just saw. And then Logan
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Web after the game was like, Oh, yeah, that dude's
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: he's always talking smack? Are there are there guys that
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: you play against, or even on your team or even
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: yourself that top smack? Being six foot nine, you can't
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: really talk smack. You're already talking smack and intimidating everybody
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: out there. But are there guys that smack? And when
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: you go into those games, do you feel like your
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: teammates are kind of on edge anytime something happens with
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: those guys out on the mound, especially since pitchers can't
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: hit anymore.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like there's definitely a few guys around
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: this league that I've noticed, like my teammates will take
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: just notice some antics on the mound that they may
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: not like. But I don't know if necessarily if they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: talking crap to our guys. That's mainly just how they
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: present themselves and how they hold themselves and how they
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: deal with the ups and downs of the game.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Going on out there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's definitely a few guys that I could see
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: maybe getting guys on the edge of their seats a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: little bit more in case something does happen. I feel
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: like there hasn't been as much of that with our
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: team recently, but I mean I remember a few times
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: whenever I think I don't know if they had a
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: previous relationship or something going on, but I think it
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: was Snow a couple of years back, with maybe one
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: of the one of the Cleveland starters. I don't know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: there was some issue going going on between those two guys.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But that's all.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I can remember personally from that kind of hitter hitcher standpoint,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And obviously I don't I don't know Freeland and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: don't know Devers personally, so I don't know exactly the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: extent of how they handle themselves either.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Haley, can you tell hot Rod to quick cooking a
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: hamburger next year? What isn't is there?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: What is happening?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in the hyperbar chamber room in here, so
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I got some teammates getting some work in, and I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I was I came in here for some quiet, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: my guy, Trevor Larning is getting some work in right now.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, got it? God, that's yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: We thought you were a recovery sir.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: I thought I know hot Rod doesn't cook, so you
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: know he's out christ fishing today, so yeah, tell him
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: to flip that burger over and move on, all right,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: next when you see you. But here's what I understand
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: about you pictures. You guys get mad when everybody flips
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: their bat nowadays, and everybody does this Byron Buckston flips
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: his bat. You're cheering for him. But then some guy
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: flips his bad against you, Bailey, and you're like, oh,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be mad at him. Haven't we moved past
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: that now? Because listen, I used to be that guy.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I would talk a lot of trash to twins through
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: a me Plenty of times Ron Gardenhier tell him to
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: throw me and then he oh, I never would do that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: It's fine, Guardy, I get it. But why do pictures
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: get so mad when a guy flips a bat. I
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: don't understand.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Like, if you strike me out and you go, yeah, okay,
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: you got me. When I hit a home off you,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: then I'm gonna do a little bat.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I mean it goes both ways. If you're gonna do it,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: then you've got to be open to getting it back,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you know. I feel like with Byron, whenever he hits
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a nuke off someone, he's he's pumping up our dug out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He's never directing it towards the other team. And that
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: can be definitely a big difference if a hit or does.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Something and then starts yelling directly at you something that
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you might not want.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: May not like.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, there's pictures that will strike out someone
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: in a big situation and let a few f bombs.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Go and try to I don't know, they're fired up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: There's not a whole lot of times where that's personally
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: directed at the hitter per se, where they're telling them that, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: go go go sit your.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Butt down in the dugout. You can't hit me. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: don't see a whole lot of that going on at
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the moment.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I'm here for that. I'm also here for a little
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: bit of research that I did your playoff start? Your
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: one playoff start was in Houston, correct, yep? Okay, did
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: you ever were you ever at any point not able
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to hear the pitch com because it was in twenty
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: twenty three, I assume you guys had the PitchCom Could
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: you not hear.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: The pitch comp.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I think I was good that game. I think I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: had it up turned up to the right setting. But yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I mean some games I could just cuts off, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if that specific game, if
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I had any issues. I don't remember having any issues,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So I would assume that I was. I was pretty
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: fine without going on that game.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, so the playoffs in Houston, and you were fine.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: You don't remember it not working. So if a pitcher
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: says they can't hear their pitch, calm, If you ever
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: can't hear it, would you ever just throw whatever pitch
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: you wanted to?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: No?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Probably not, Okay, I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't want
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: to put my guy in the position where he might not.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Know what's coming.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: In your opinion.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There could there could be, There could be.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I have heard conversations being had, Like you say, the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: pitchclock's winding down, you don't have them to step offs,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: or you don't want to step off. You have a
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: designated pitch that you're going to throw, like you and
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the catcher have something. Hey, if the clock's running out,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: it goes to zero, we have an agreed on something,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Start my motion. That's the pitch that I'm going to throw,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: whether that's a fastball, slider, or whatever it is. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: have heard guys talk about that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: For sure, We're throwing a curveball at you this week
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for our Arena Club segment. As AJ has opened up
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a Pokemon slap pack.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Did you say it?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Pokemon slapman? Pokemon? Don't ask me to say what that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: card is, but what you doing with that card? I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: already sold it back, baby.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: I bought it, and then I got more money than
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: I paid for the pack, so I sold us straight back.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You bought it for, you sold it for, and you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: can go get yourself something that you maybe know how
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to pronounce.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Yes or what it is.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I said it because I saw certain people open in
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Pokemon and they're making money and guess what I got.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Lucky made money off of.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It too, exactly.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: But of course, if you're into sports cards, that is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: something that you can find a ton of on the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Arena Club marketplace. By sell slab pack trade twenty percent
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: off your first slap pack or card purchase can be
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: had at Arena club dot com. Slash foul and use
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the code foul. That's arenaclub dot com. Slash foul and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: use code f O U L.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I assume you saw the framber and Saysar Salsar thing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Do you feel like the reaction was a reaction of
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: it was a mistake by Framber or do you feel
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: like it was a reaction of that he knew what
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: pitch he was throwing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's tough to say.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I mean the reactions between the facial expressions between Salazar
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: and Framber, they didn't look.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Too happy with each other, I'll say that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So obviously the catcher is gonna be a little pissed
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: off whenever you get crossed up and get squared in
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the chest with the fastball. But yeah, it's a weird circumstance. Obviously,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I saw that they had like a meeting with the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: manager after the game, so maybe they thought there was
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: something going on as well.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, it's as a picture.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want to put my guys in that type
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of situation, and obviously the catcher's a j and crowds.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You guys would for sure not want to be in
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that situation either.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: No, we we we'd have listen, we'd have a grown
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: man conversation in the tunnel after that inning was done.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: There would there would definitely be some words exchange that
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: both of us.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't like too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Much, and there might be some some hands laid on
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: somebody because you're affecting my personal health at that point.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I mean your risk. Yeah, I agree.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: So so here's my question. Is there anybody in the
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Twins organization that you would like to chuck a ball at?
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: And why is it? Mike Kerman? That's what I want
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: to know.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Why do you want Why does everybody that plays you
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: want to.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Throw a ball at Mike Kerman?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I'll be I think you know the reason, just because.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: People who don't know Mike Kerman is their traveling secretary
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: No sorry, director of team travel. Sorry, yes, he didn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: want to be the traveling secretary, so but you know, no, but.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, it all, it all.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: He's the secretary of team travel in all, in all seriousness, though,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: if you had this happen, isn't the first thing you do,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: and you already kind of said this, you run, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: run to your catcher and you're like, dude, I'm so
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: so every time I got crossed me up, the first
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: thing was like, I'm so sorry, Are you okay?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Like you'll be hurt right no matter who it is,
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: because they're on your team.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: You don't turn your back to him and walk away
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Like that's just pure disrespect.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Isn't it. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's definitely a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: weird situation.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Obviously, maybe there was some more stuff going on between
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: those two guys before that game started.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: But whenever you see something like that, and just like
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the reactions between those two guys, it just maybe maybe
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: they're not too friendly to each other.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just a weird, weird thing to see,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: especially in the big leagues. But that happened.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Hey.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: By the way, sorry I said some about Buckston earlier.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't mean get like personally towards bucks I want
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: people to do that. No, I know you know that,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: but there's people out there to be like, oh, he's
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: attacking Buckston. Trust me, I played with Tory Hunter, Tory
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Phoner flipped his bad more than anybody before. Bathflopping was cool,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: right and so and I did it too. So listen,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I'm all for batflips, talking trash. I think it's great
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: for the game. So I want to just make that
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: clear now. Byron Buckson said he didn't want to be traded.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: I love the fact that he's going to play for
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: the Twins whole career. But when that trade deadline hit,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: were you like Oprah, like, oh, you get a trade,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: and you get a trade and you get a trading
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: were you looking down the line going, We're not gonna
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: have enough dudes to play this game if we keep
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: trading the whole team.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it was. It was a weird day.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: We had an off day in Cleveland, so we flew
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in the night before, got in, and then that day
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of us were just kind of hanging around
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: and seeing what was gonna unfold. Obviously, no one really
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: thought that the extent of it was gonna be what
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: it was. So we had I don't know, I probably
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: up to ten guys just kind of chilling up to
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: waiting like towards the end of that deadline, just to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: see what happened, and then we're gonna go get some
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: dinner afterwards. And some of the guys that were in
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the room ended up getting traded. So it was really
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: weird just being able to kind of be with them
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and kind of see their emotions and kind of the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: reaction of the others in the in that group. It
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: was definitely a weird day and something that we may
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: never see eleven guys on one big League Rosser get
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: traded on the deadline again, but it was something that
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I'll never forget. And yeah, it's just it was a
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: crazy thing to experience.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Was there any two parts? Was there anybody that the
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: reaction was like whoa that was like significant, like guys crying,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: guys like talking about how they didn't want it, other
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: guys like jumping for joy. And was there anybody that
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: was thinking they were going to get traded and it
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: looked like it was going to happen and then didn't
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: and now still with the team.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean I think all three situations
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: that you had, Obviously, the biggest one that kind of
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: shocked the whole room was that Louis Barlin trade, just
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: because he's a hometown kid, He's on minimum contract, lots
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: of years of control left, and he had stepped up
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: in a big way this year as a bullpen guy
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that we could first see like kind of being a
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: late inning guy, like an eight and ninth inning guys.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: He continued to develop, so him when he got that call,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: he saw the phone who was calling him, and everyone
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: else kind of in the room kind of figured what
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: was going on, but he ended up stepping out of
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the room so we could have that conversation privately. So,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was definitely probably one of the hardest
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: for him. Rock Stewart was another guy that really loved
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: being in Minnesota, and then a few other guys like
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they kind of expected being traded there on
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: one year deals. They're gonna be free agents at the
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: end of the season, so they kind of expected. They
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: had heads ups going into that to that day that
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: they probably were going to be moved. And then obviously
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: when you have a trade that gets leaked and then
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: it doesn't happen with Joe Ryan. That's definitely another weird
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: emotions that he had to go through that day thinking
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: that he was going to a different team and then
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: ended up staying.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: One more on this about Griffin Jackson. You don't see
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: trade requests very often, and it sounded like it was
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: done respectfully. But you'd been a teammate of his, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you know he had a really nice career with the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Twins the last few years. Did you know that he
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: requested the trade?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Like, what was your.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on that whole process, because it wasn't like, oh,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: super disgruntled everyone. I mean, unless you tell me differently.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Usually when you think trade request, you think of other
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: sports and it's like a whole battle. Michael Parsons was
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not the Griffin Jackson the Twins.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, so I talked to Griffin the day,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: like the day of the trade trade deadline, because I
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: guess when he put in that trade request was like
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: the night before, So I didn't It wasn't like super
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: old news. It was pretty fresh to the guys, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: especially the guys that he was close with on the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: team that he was open to tell them about.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he probably just they had some I.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Think it was the day before the trade or the
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: two days before the trade deadline. He had a little
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: scuffle with Rocco and they talked it out and they
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: seemed to be fine afterwards. But yeah, you never know
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: what those types of situations where him and his agent
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: come up with the they think this is the best
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: idea for him and his careers to get to a
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: different spot. And then I think maybe whenever they saw
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: or heard that they're going to start getting getting rid
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: of the majority of the guys, maybe he I would
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: assume that he probably put voice his opinion.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Then I waited it for us for a sec.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: I think we got you back till dustin quick modeling
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: and pay for Internet.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: All right, I think we got him. All right, let's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: finish with this. Okay, we got him again, barely. Sorry,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: we lost it for a sect there, last last one.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to finish with one other teammate that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you played with for a while, the age I already mentioned,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: but actually seeing him put together such a complete season
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: that's probably going to result in at a top ten
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: MVP finish. What have you seen from Byron Buxton this year?
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Byron. Byron has obviously showed the flashes
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: over the years.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: When I came up in twenty one was the season
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: that he, I feel like, really broke out offensively. It
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: was almost like two months into the season and he
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: was hitting four hundred. So when I came up that year,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is this is the best baseball
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: player I think I've ever seen in person.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And then obviously he's dealt with his injury stuff.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Obviously that gets brought up every single time, as much
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: as he probably doesn't like it. Yeah, back to back
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: years with over one hundred games now this year and
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: he's looking as healthy as ever. I mean, he's stealing
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: bases the last few weeks Italian those numbers up, hitting
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the homers, playing outstanding defense, and it's just stuff that
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you've seen over the years that he is able to do,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: like some of the flashes that he shows, just being
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: able to run from first to third on a triple
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: and what is the record that he holds. It's like
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: eleven point something seconds, it's the fastest one or something
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: like that. Isn't an incredible athlete and an incredible player,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: really good teammate, and I'm happy that he's able to really,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: his body's able to hould up, and everyone's allowed to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: watch him day in, day out and just enjoy the
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: product that's.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Out there on the field with them.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Hayley, before we let you go last one, I have
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: to know we talked about this earlier. New teammate of yours,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Todge Bradley said it's the first time he ever looked
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: at a scouting report recently. Was did that come? Did
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: you make them? Did Joe Ryan make them? Did Pablo
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: make them? Or is there someone else that we're missing?
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: That made Todge Bradley finally look at some video before
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: he pitched, because now he's like, oh.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Man, this is amazing. This is kind of fun and
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: it makes pitching easier.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would assume I've only been with the Twins,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: this is my whole career, but most teams would give
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: scattering reports, but I guess that's not the case always. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: he came over here and that's just kind of what
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: our team and our staff give out every start is
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: just a couple of papers worth of reports on each
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and every guy that they have in their lineup, and
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: it's kind of up to you if you want to
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: use that, if you want to write down your own notes,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: if you want to go off anything else that you see,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: if you watch video, and then the team and you
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: meet up before your start and kind of go over
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: what your ideas are and what your plans are. So yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I mean it's it's definitely kind of odd hearing coming
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: from other starters in the big leagues that they don't
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: have or they the team doesn't provide stuff. Kind of
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: sometimes you're on your own if you want to look
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: at stuff, and sometimes, like I guess TOADJ just never
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: really paid.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Attention to that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: The first time I heard about this was when he
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: when it came out an article or something like that,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: so I didn't know that they didn't give him anything
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: as well. Yeah, hopefully it becomes really useful for him. Obviously,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: his last start was really good. Stuff is electric, so
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: maybe if you can pare that up with some good
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: reports that he finds that works for him, it could
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: be a great thing for his career.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm buying stock and Tom's Bradley, I like you, you've
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: got good stuff, so it's another layer. Oh Bailey, this
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: was awesome man, Thanks for all all the time. Obviously
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: great catching up.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: You got sorry, you got hit with some hard ones today.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I mean the one day you come on, you got man,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: you got all fights and dudes throwing balls at each other.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Oh good.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I mean it was great, great answers. But man, you know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: normally you try, we try to have fun and you
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: were great. But man, I do feel kind of bad.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: No, I like it. Great answers, Yeah, I appreciate it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's stuff going on throughout the league and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: we gotta we gotta talk about it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's always entertaining too.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: If I'd be arguing with you, Bailey, and it's out
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: on the mound, I'm standing on the top of the mound,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: you're on the back. And if it's in the dugout,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: you're gonna sit in your chair that you're sitting between innings. Okay,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not sitting here telling you if you're
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: gonna throw whatever pitch you want to throw. I'm not
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: doing that. I feel I feel like it's over, like
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not so you still there.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I mean I had Wes Johnson used to tell me
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the same thing, and he was my pitching coach for
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: my first two years up here.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: He used to say, you're standing on the back of
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the mountain.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: When I come out there so I can talk to you.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They're gonna think I'm four.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: But nothing that's right in Toronto.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: If you went to Toronto, I'd be like a foot taller
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: than you're not to the mounts higher in Toronto.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Really, No, there's a few places.
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: That's for next time.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Next time with Balley, we're gonna go over Mount Hide.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks Balley, this was fun man, appreciate it. We'll catch
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you soon, Okay.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys. Thank you.
