• 0:16
  Speaker 3: And yeah, we're good here, man, We're just we're in
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: the middle of the season. Rhythm of it of it's
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: picking up and the summer is the summer is the fawn.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Us and it's I mean, life is completely changed for
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you now, right, your dad.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: You know, completely changed. Yeah, see it through a different
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: lens mosulation. Thank you, thank you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I keep telling people that it's the best thing I've
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: ever done or been as a dad, But it's also
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the hardest thing I've ever done, but so rewarding every
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: single day, I think, especially at this age. She's six
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: months now, and it seems like she's picked up something
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: new pretty much daily, which is just so cool to see.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is awesome. I mean, so we're tape this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on on Tuesday and you're you're the Brewers are coming
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in town on Friday. Is it going to feel any differently?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Is it gonna you know, if you thought about it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: at all, what's going to be like coming to Philly
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for the second time, you know, as a member of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, or is it going to be kind of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: no big deal At this point.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I think it will be different than the last time,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: for sure. Definitely had some butterflies, so to say, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: last year, just going back for the first time, walking
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: in the different clubhouse for the first time, seeing everybody again.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: This year is a little bit more just business as usual.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I think I haven't thought about it too much really
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: up until this week, mostly for the fact that Phil's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: are a great team and we got our work cut
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: out for us there when when we when we come.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure it will be great. It always is,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: you know, playing at Citizens Bank. It would be great
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to see all that bunch of familiar faces and hopefully
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: beat up on a bunch of old friends.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I was looking at your numbers, I mean, you seem
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to be swinging the bat really well, like the traditional
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: numbers are are are pretty solid, and you're on base
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is where it usually is. Uh, slugging is up for
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: highest in a few years. And even then you look
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: at the advanced metrics, you know, it seems like you're
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: hitting the ball harder. You're not chasing anything, which is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you never really did anyway. But I mean, is it
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: just a matter of your you're removed further away from
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: from the surgery. You know, what can you what can
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you tell us about about the your offensive game right now?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's mostly that just time is our best friend.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I think when it comes to injury, obviously to to
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: get physically back into shape or what we feel like
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: is normal, but also just mentally not being not being
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: a rehabber, right Like I I just got to be
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: an athlete and a baseball player this this passed off season,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and it gave me a great base I think going
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: into spring, I've made a little bit of an adjustment
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: in terms of a load at the plate, and I
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: think it's just giving me a little bit more time
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to see the ball better and earlier. And I think
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that's just getting me into good counts. And you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I've said this in the past, but I like my
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: chances when the pitcher has to beat me in the zone.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: So I'm getting myself into good counts right now and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: not missing those pitches that are showing up in the middle.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Hey, Reese, let me follow up a little bit on
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: that one was kind of curious, what is that is there?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Can you talk about the specifics of that adjustment or
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: do you feel uncomfortable doing No?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, It's just I've kind of gone away from
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the leg kick a little bit the first couple of
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: weeks of the season, a little up and down. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: felt like I was having good at bats but not
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: getting great results, seeing too many pitches in the middle
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: of the plate. So instead of the lake kick, I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: kind of just went back to the way I used
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to hit in college, which was an early toe down
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: or foot down kind of toe to heal move. And again, like,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I think it's making my move my my move a
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: little bit more repeatable. My head's moving less, which again
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that just makes me see the ball better. So yeah, nothing,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: nothing too ear shattering, really. I think I'm just a
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: little bit simpler at the plate and that's become a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: lot more repeatable.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Day in and day out over a long season.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: And how hard was that to do it in season?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, did you actually make that adjustment in season?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: And because a lot of the times, you know, you're like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't want to mess with this right
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: now in season, So it's sort of a different.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that can be a slippery slope. I think just
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: because it was simplifying in a big way, instead of
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: making things a little bit more complicated with what I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: was already working with, it made it a little bit easier.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I had been messing around with it in the cage
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and batting practice for a couple of days prior to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: initiating in the game, and we found ourselves, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: kind of up big in a game early against the A's,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and I came up with two outs and nobody on
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and just said, let's let's see what we got, And
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of course I ended up I ended up hitting a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: home run. So I was like, okay, well that's that's
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: some early results. And then later on in the game,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: we're facing a pretty nasty right hander, arms and elbows
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: flailing at you and a big sinker ball. Ended up
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: getting a base hit to right field and that at bat,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: which was, you know, pretty much all I needed to see.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So we just continue to explore that and trying to
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: make it normal now. But again, I just think simplifying
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: has really been my best friend.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Really interesting stuff for rees. It's great to see you, buddy,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: because I remember the leg Kick. It was born in
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: the batting cage in clear Water at the stadium in
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Clearwater when you were I thinking a ball or no,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: it was instructional League, after your first year with Andy Tracy,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Joe Jordan and those guys. So it really served you
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: well for a whole bunch of years.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Right, oh, one hundred percent.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think to Ruben's point, it's hard
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to ditch the date that you brought to the dance,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: or that maybe even got you to the dance. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I was just sick of missing being late basically, so
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: my my my goal is just to be on time more.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, certainly, right, like, the leg kick was written
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: about and talked about a bunch and I really think
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: it helped me propel into, you know, being an established
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: player in this in this game, but now having some
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: experience and knowing what it's like to hit in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: big leagues, especially with you know, stuff the way that
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it is now. From the pitching standpoint, sometimes you got
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to make adjustments, and that's what this game calls for.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So I just decided it was time.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: So you know, you mentioned when the pitch is in
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: the zone, you like your chances and as Todd mentioned,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: we're taping on Tuesday, a few days before you come
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: to town with the Brewers, and you know, pitching the zone,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: and like I said, it's Tuesday, and oh, Spencer Strider,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Strider is pitching in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. And when
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I think of Spencer Stryder, I think of you not
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: missing in that in that playoff series, hitting that Humongo
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: home run and and then that unbelievable, cathartic bat spike
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: that you could feel all the way up to Center City.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: And when I think of that kind of iconic moment,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: I think it Chase Subtlely. We had him on the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: podcast a while back and we asked him about, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: his WFC and where's the coolest place you ever heard
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: somebody yell that to him? And he said, in a
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: clothing store in London and on a ski slope in Switzerland.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: So I'm wondering, like, anywhere interesting somebody who's brought up
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: to hillacious batspike.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Definitely not as cool as a ski slope in Switzerland.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And but that's okay. And Chase is a little bit
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: cooler than I am, and I'm cool with that. Maybe
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: some common ground that you know I can find with
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the people of Philadelphia.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I got I got.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: A congrats and an awesome moment from a New Yorker
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: while we were playing the Mets last year in a
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: coffee shop, you know, just saying, hey, that was incredible,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: as somebody else who doesn't like the Braves was pretty
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: was pretty cool from a baseball standpoint to see that happen,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and just the emotion that you were playing with. So
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: maybe not as cool, but maybe more unlikely. Let's say that,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: so that that's pretty cool.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: But a cool moment. I mean that, you gotta does
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: that Still that moment still make kind of the hair
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: on the back of your next stand.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Up the playoffs, Jim, you know, like that's yeah, it's
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the It's what we play for as athletes. I still
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: think the coolest part about the whole thing was the
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: fact that it was the first game at Citizens Bank,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, a decade playoff game in over a decade.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: There so just a lot coming together in one moment,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and you know, pretty memorable because of it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I can't remember.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I think I might have asked you this in the past,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: but where where is the bat? Do you have it
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: displayed somewhere? Or somebody just kind of keeps it in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a box in the corner and like, you know, when
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm done playing baseball, I'll throw it up on a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: wall in the trophy case or something like that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's I'm in the middle of a move
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: and a remodel back home, so not displayed, but I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: know exactly where it is, and I'm sure at some
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: point it will end up on a wall, so that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you know, that story can be talked about as much
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: as we want, really.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, know exactly where it is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Use it throughout the playoffs, because how can you not
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: after that, and ended up I think switching in the
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: World Series getting some new wood and told Phil hey,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: let's let's make sure we know where this one's at.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I want I want to make sure I have this
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: one so it's back home. But yeah, eventually we'll end
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: up on a wall.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Hey, the Brewers obviously have a great fan base. They
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: love their their their Brewer crew. I'm just kind of
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: curious as far as fan bases are concerned. You know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: there's Philadelphia and there's other cities. How do these two compare?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: And what you're feeling when you when you try to
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: when you're connecting with.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Them, Well, I think I think their love for their
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: team is they're they're both admirable fan bases in that regard.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: But it's obviously know as a home player, I only
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: know two. But I get the impression that it's hard
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to compare fan bases to the Philly fan base.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: For good and for bad. Really, but.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean these people up here in the Midwest
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: and Wisconsin, they they love their sports. They're they're they're
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: die hard in different ways. You know, everyday game we
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: have tailgators from well, when when we're pulling up to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: the ballpark, people are there, it's just yeah, it's just different,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: not bad by any means or in any way, but
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they they do love their sports up here, and we
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: definitely feel that we had a great crowd yesterday, got
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to have the roof open. Summer is coming here in
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin and the people look forward to that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: We definitely feel that on the field.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: How would you compare Rob Thompson to Pat Murphy. Seemed
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like different guys, but two guys maybe both enjoyed, you know, playing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: For Yeah, definitely different, but both just baseball baseball guys
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: at their core. Obviously a ton of years of experience
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: from on both sides. Murph a ton of experience in
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: college baseball, and I think we we tend to see
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: that sometimes with his emotions on his sleeve, but we
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: love that as as his players, we know exactly what
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: we're getting as soon as we walk in the clubhouse,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: stores about where he's at and what he expects of us.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Whereas Thomps and I think this maybe has a little
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: bit to do with the type of clubhouse that each
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: manager has. But you know, Thomps is super level headed,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: trust his guys that they're gonna, you know, do what
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: they need to do to prepare for the game that night,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and kind of just goes out and let and let
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: some of that happen. Steps in when he feels like
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: he needs to. But Murph is ready to you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: light a fire under us that really at any moment,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: because that's just how he approaches his life with with intensity.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: But also, you know, I think both know how to
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: keep a room light when it's needed, and that's you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: super helpful over one hundred and sixty two game season
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: when we really can get lost in the in the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: shuffle of the day to day. So both both amazing guys. Different,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: but I feel pretty lucky to have played for both.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: I know you're focused on your team and your season.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Do you ever use a like a half a glance
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: to keep track of the Phillies and your old friends,
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: keep in touch with anybody and how they're doing.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jim, I'm a baseball fan, so I I
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: just I watch, you know, what's going on around the league. Really,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I know they were just in Sacramento, so I had
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: a few conversations with guys about, you know, places to
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: check out or or coffee to go get or food
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: to go get. I haven't talked to them since they've
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: they've gotten back, but I'm sure I'll get a chance
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to just catch up with how it was playing there
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: on a field that I've played there before in high
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: school and actually a little bit in college too. So yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know they're they're right at the top
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: of the National League, if not the league in terms
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: of record. I know, you know, the normal culprits are
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: doing their thing, and we're we're getting there, getting a
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: lot of help from a lot of players up and
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: down the bench and the lineup too, so we know
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: that's it's a complete team. I'll try to stay in
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: touch with a couple of guys that I became good
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: friends with over over the years. I'm I'll here from
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Schwart or I'll here from JT every once in a while.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I hear from Brandon Marsh every once in a while too,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's always great to see old names pop
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: up on your phone and get a chance to catch
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: up with them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Speaking of food and coffee and stuff, I know that

• 15:21
  Speaker 4: there recently. Any plans to go there while you're here ordered?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Is it because of the since you're bringing to your
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: your daughter? Is is there a chance to get out there?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were actually just talking about that last night,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: about a couple of places that we want to try
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to get to. Police's always at the top of our list,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: some of our favorite food in the whole city. We're

• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yea, So we'll see where we end up, but those
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: are those are.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Kind of the top of our list whenever we can
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: return to Philly.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: So well, since you went there, Reuben went to the
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: food topic, brought worst or cheese steak.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I gotta choose a broad brock is just a little
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: bit more classic, I think obviously I had my fair
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: share of cheese steaks, and I can't wait to have
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: one from the visiting clubhouse and we go.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: But abroad is.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Is maybe more easily enjoyed at all times of the day,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: whereas a choestate can kind of put you on your butt.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not ready for it, so I'll choose the bra
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: You'll you'll be.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: I want to tell rees real quick because this hasn't
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: come up.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Todd is a.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Milwaukee native grew up. He grew up a brew crew frian.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: He's still a Packers fan. You guys want to do
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: any Milwaukee thing.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I'm just if you if you checked out,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: like I don't even know if you have time like
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Summerfest any of those types of things. Have you gotten
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: down to the Lake Shore and seeing any concerts or
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: anything like that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, no, just with obviously with our schedule. I lived
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: right down in that Summerfest area at the start of
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: last season, so definitely got a sense of you know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: what goes on, Well, that's that's kind of that whole
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: area down there, and really even into downtown is there's
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: something going on outside every single day, whether it's concert
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: or some sort of cultural festival. It's just I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a great excuse for the people of the city to
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: be outside. But there's always something going on down there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I learned that pretty quickly.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That's because the summer lasts like three months, so you
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: have to like squeeze out everything day you can, because
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: if you don't go outside, it's going to be you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: forty degrees and September fifteenth. So but you know, when
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I see you, obviously a lot of different fun Phillies
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: moments come into my head, popping my head, And when
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted asking, you kind of jogged my memory because
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you talked about running into the New York fan up
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: in New York. Was that ridiculously slow home run trot
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at City Field? What do you remember about that? And
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: does anybody ever still mention that one? Because that one
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: always makes me, brings a smile to my face because
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: it was so much fun, and I think it was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: so much fun for Phillies fans as well, because you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: know Phillies Mets.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, I mean the rivalries in general, right, like, yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: that one does not get brought up. It was pretty
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: early on in my career, and something has happened between
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: now and then with myself and the Mets that maybe
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: gets talked about.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: First when that's brought up.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: But what do I remember, you know, again, getting thrown
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: at a couple of times up near the head area,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: which none of us hitters like. So I guess found
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity to take a little pettiness back to them,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: and again all in good competition, not trying to disrespect anybody,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: but I felt like.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I had maybe earned that a little bit on that one.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one thing I forgot about Reese is you are
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: a trendsetter. And you know where I'm going with this
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: with the with the high five to the bullpen after.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: A whole run.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: It's done everywhere now. I see it in college baseball time,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: you know, may leagues, minor leagues, it's in college. I'm
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: sure it's in high school ball. When a kid, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: hits a home run, how does that they ought to
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: call that the hoskins? I mean, how does that feel
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: to have that impact on the game.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I notice it for sure, and then
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: go back to, you know, the conversations with you guys
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: about where did that come from and how did that start?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't get I don't people don't talk to
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: me about that a little bit. People in my family,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of mention that as well. But yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: it's it's awesome, really like it's it's such a cool thing. Again,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I think that we should we should acknowledge those guys
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: out there more often.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You know, we're always looking at the dugout.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I even noticed guys now sometimes on base
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: hits or doubles, they look towards the bullpen.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: First before they look towards the dugout.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: So I'm always curious to see what guys do, right, Like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: what what's there their mode of of solute I guess
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: to say out there, And there's some pretty good ones
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: and creative ones too, So definitely a cool thing. And
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: you know, something that I hope continues continues.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Really you should you should be you should be proud
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: of that because it's symbolical the kind of teammate. You
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: were a very inclusive guy in that clubhouse, bringing people together.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: So that's off. I appreciate it. Jim, thank you. That's awesome.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That's a great, great way to end. I mean that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that that's you know, just a great way to end.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So Reese, thanks a lot for for joining us. We
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate the time and to look forward to seeing you
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: on Friday.
