• 0:33
  Speaker 2: yourself the other day taking on a pretty good Phillies lineup, right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that was a good day. That was a
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: good day of work.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I think my next one's in Sarasota on the road too,
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: so that'll be a good Orioles lineup.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: So but springs good. I was actually talking to Cam
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: about this earlier.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Was the March madness stuff has kind of helped take
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: the mind off of how long we've been doing this.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: So, you know, I'm excited for a season.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: This time of the year, man, after last season, after
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: appearance that you guys made in the postseason, you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: it's an expectation around camp now, right The fans expect
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: for you guys to get back to the playoffs. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: know you guys expect you expect you guys to go
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: a little bit deeper. You know, we know what you
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: did as a cy Young Award winner, But how can
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: you make guys around you better? Like the conversations that
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: happen with the pitchers and I know your left hand
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: you have a lot of guy given ability, but you
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: talk about bringing flarity back, Olsen, how do you as
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: a leader make those guys better?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think expectation one is a good thing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: You know, we want fans to think we're going to
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: be a good team, right, and then it's up to
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: us as a team. You know, that should motivate you
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: as a players, like I'm going to go perform so
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: that way, you know, fans keep coming to the yard.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: But as far as you know getting better, I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: as a team, every single day has to matter a lot.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: You know, every single game has to matter a lot.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: And I know I don't play every game, but my
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: preparation between my starts has to matter a lot to
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: me to when I go perform, I put myself in
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a good spot. And I think that's something that all
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: our starters do, which is pretty cool, you know. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I know our believers are ready to go and they
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: take care of themselves, you know, the way they do.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit different animals, But.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: I know our starters they all have really good routines
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and they're all pretty focused on what we're trying to accomplish.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: Kared, why great pants? Why?
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Why does Hinch make you go on the road? Now,
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: most starters with your credentials, all right, you don't have
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: great pants. You should be like, you know what, Hinch.
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: I know you went to Stanford. You think you're smarter
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: than everyone else. Let me stay back at home, bro,
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: pitch on the backfield?
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Why do you want to go.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: On the road so bad?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not really much of a I mean, first off,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the backfield is a place that can really humble you.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So I don't really know if I want to throw
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: on the backfield.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, it's at the field. There's no Bryce Harper or Shorter.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: But those dudes are We're gonna rake you, I guarantee you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I think I think backfields is like would be like
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: playing like Team USA's lineup. Like that's what it feels
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: like when you're back there it's just like everything's hit
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: hard and you're like, I don't even know how to
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: get out. So I kind of like going on the road.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I like getting the good line ups and getting you
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: ready for season. I like competing and getting those juices flowing.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: This isn't a knock on anybody. When you throw it
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: home and teams are traveling three hours. It's a little
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: bit different of a lineup, you know, I mean, younger lineup,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: different guys in there. So I like going to guys'
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: place and throwing and competing. I think that's I need
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to get that going or else. I don't think the
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: stuff coming out of my hand is pretty good when
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I don't have the adrenalin in flowing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: So I like going on the road.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And when he presented it to me, you know, we're
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: playing the Yankees early in the season. If you want
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: to go to Baltimore, I said absolutely, Like I'm I'd
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: love to go on the road and face Baltimore and
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and and get those guys in that lineup. They got
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a really good one, so it'll be fun to get
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: out there and compete.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Hey a.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: Baltimore, Hey, I know it's a catcher.
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: AJ you love that right, that says the president.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Right, we get a spring training guys don't want to
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: make I was, I ain't trying to go.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: I like that mentality.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I will say this, This is the one thing about
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: this dude.
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: At at a very early age, I realized.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: When I met this guy, his competitive forty two is different.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: His dude wants to compete. He wants to be the best,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and I think that ribs off of those guys. Let
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: me ask you this, in camp, you've been impressed. You've
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: done a lot of things that impressed the league pitching
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: from a pitching standpoint, Who's been a guy that has
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: impressed you this camp? That you go, Okay, if we
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: get this guy right, we can do some special special
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: things as a staff.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I mean I think a lot of guys have came
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: into camp really in shape. You know, you know you're
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: gonna get with Jack. I don't worry about Jack at all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: You know, I think he's taking lost like twenty pounds.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: He can look good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, But if I had to name one guy, it'd
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: probably be Casey minus. I think the talent that he has,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: he revamped kind of a lot of his arsenal on
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: his own, which as a teammate. I love, you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: he took the initiative to really try and get himself
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: to be the best pitcher he can be, and he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: pitched really well in spring training and I've made a
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: point to get out there and watch every single one
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: because I'm interested to see kind of what the changes are.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I think Jackson Joe the stuff is, I like,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't really want to watch it. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: better than mine, so I'm like, I don't want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: You're really good, you know. But you know, Casey my
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: is I think he's a really good pitcher. I mean,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: you played with him, He's the same guy, routine, really
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: good competitor, you know, also really good friend. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: we've been teammates for the same draft class and all
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: that stuff. And for him to take the initiative and
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: revamp his arsenal, I think that speaks a lot about
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: who he is and who he wants to be on
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: the mound. And uh, that's something that fires me up,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: you know, to seeing teammates and makes me want to
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: be a better version of myself as well.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: It was one hundred plus. Part of the revent was
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: that real, was that one one O six?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Was that really? I was the first one? Yeah?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, is that a part of the revent?
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: We thought one of those six?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you said one O six and I was like, oh,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the next one must have been a change up because
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: it was ninety seven.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, if he's throwing one hundred and six,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: really good play. I don't think anyone's going to hit that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, tell me more about Jackson job and how
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he's looked in camp. Obviously he was just like shoved
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: into big spots late last year. We all know how
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: good he's been in the minor leagues. What do you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: think he's going to do this year?
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't want to put any expectations,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: you know, on him. I don't think that's fair to
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: him as the player and as a teammate, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's fair. But I expect him to
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: go out there and compete every fifth day and challenge guys,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you know, each and every bat, each and every pitch,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: and he's going to learn how his stuff plays, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: at the big league level, and there there will probably
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: be a learning curve and that's okay. And I had
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the same thing, and I'm still learning stuff about myself.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: So I think that that's the beauty of the game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: You know, just because things work last year doesn't mean
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the same recipe is going to work this year. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the same will go for him, you know. And I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: excited to kind of be there and and just bounce
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: ideas and let him bounce ideas off me too, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: we can just have that good conversation and be a good,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: you know, resource for each other. So I'm excited for him.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, the stuff speaks for itself. It's ninety eight
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: to one hundred cutter, slider, change up, curveball, everything's really
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: really good. And uh, he's a competitor too, you know.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I think he's he cares a lot, and I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: that's a really good quality. And I'm excited to kind
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: of watch him do his thing this year.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Did you tell him to throw it down the middle quick?
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Would you say quit trying to hit a NATS ask?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that may have came out of my mouth a
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: little bit, but I I loved it, you know, I
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I love the.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Confidence that he has in himself. You know, It's it's true,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you know, hitting is really hard.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: To do.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: And if you're consistently getting into counts and getting guys
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: in leverage, you're going to get a lot of uncomfortable swings.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And you're not going to see as many A swings
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: even early accounts. You're going to see a lot of
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: B and C swings and guys are trying to put
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the ball in play, and once that starts happening, it
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: becomes really hard to score and you know, sustain innings.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And I think that's going to work in Jackson's favor.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So I love the quote.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: You know, it just speaks about the confidence that he
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: has in himself, and and I think he should. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: think he should have that confidence in himself.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: By the way, people don't know this. People don't know
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: this about Jackson Joe. His dad was a professional golfer
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: that once so was he the best golfer us? And
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: do y'all stay away from him on the golf course
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: or what? Because I mean he's got that genealogy for
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: good golf.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think his dad's still playing on the what's
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the I think he's still playing on that. I've yet
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: to see the swing. I don't think Jackson really golfs,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: So maybe he's kind of put baseball in front priorities, right.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I respect out a ton, but yeah, I haven't seen
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: him swing. I mean, I'm sure he can hit the
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: golf ball. Really, if you grow up playing golf, you're
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: going to be good at golf. And if your dad
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: is who he is, you're going to be good. So thanks, Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen him play, though.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, let's stick here. Cy Young dominant season last year.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: You guys make an incredible playoff run. It's easy for players,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: and when we go in the off season, we always
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: want to get better, right, We always want to add
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: on to what we've done.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: Have you picked up a pitch, have you done it?
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Like anything to say, Okay, I think this will help
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: me take my game to another level. And is there
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: any motivation when you talk about individual wars back to back?
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Sim is that something that you come in the season.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: I know how competitive you are and you care about
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: the you know, stuff like this. Do you care like
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: if I go out and put my team in those
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: situation and I want to Siam, we're in a good spot.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: How do you feel about that?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I think I mean for me, the team is always
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: going to come first. You know, rather before the individual.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I think that's the beauty of playing a team sport. Now,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: if you're playing golf or something and you're playing one
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: and that's it, you know. But I think that the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: beauty of the team sport is the team should always
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: come first, you know, no matter what. So as far
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: as individual what I'm trying to accomplish myself, I just
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: want to be healthy in play one point sixty two.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: You know, if I'm healthy and I'm you know, going
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: out there every fifth day, I like our odds, you know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I like our odds against anybody. So I think that's
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: where the focus for me needs to be, is just
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: going out there and competing. As far as working on stuff,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I constantly tinker with stuff, you know. I'm constantly trying
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to see if I can get a little bit more
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: carry on my heater, or a little bit more run
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: on my sinker, or maybe a little bit less you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: vert on my change up, or maybe a little more
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: horizontal on my slider. I'm constantly doing things, you know
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: like that, And uh, I think that's what makes the
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: game fun is you never know when it's like the
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: change up. For me, I didn't throw a change up
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: the one I have right now until two years ago,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: so you can always like, maybe I find a grip
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: for a slider that now I have another really good
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: weapon to get guys out.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: So I think that's the beauty of the game.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I think there's grips out there, there's different cues, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: you just got to figure out what works for you.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: And that's why I love playing baseball, you know, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: think not there's no one recipe to have success. There's
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of different ways you can do it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: So but that's that's what keeps me coming to the
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: art excided.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I think I think there's an actual way to get
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: better each and every day and and I try to
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: accomplish that. And sometimes that's doing nothing today, do nothing day.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: There's growth and recovery.
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: There's growth and rest.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: There's growth and recovery.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Was to do nothing day. So that's that's where I'm at.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: But yeah, that's me a long time to learn that
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: as well. I wasn't like that early, but.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Now I get that. It's to sit around Terrek question
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for you, since we haven't talked to you about the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: aftermath of Alex Bragman signing your team gave it obviously
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a very good shot. You know, the numbers and everything
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: went public. Your jam talked about it. What was that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: like for you to experience? We spoke with you during
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the Jack Flaherty process and you guys end up with him,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: which is awesome, But what was it like to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: on the other side of I don't want to say
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: just missing out on Bregman, but certainly they put a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: competitive offer together and you know, I know you hopefully
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Jayce Young works out. I know he got optioned today,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: but I'm sure he'll be back up at some point
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: early in the season. It would have been nice to
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: have Bragman when you turn to your right.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's a he's a great player, great talent,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: he's a winner, he's kind of He's won everywhere he's went.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Obviously he has the history.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: In Houston too, and with AJ and you know, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: just to have us in, you know, the conversation with
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: a player of that caliber and the amount of money
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: we're trying, I think that should That's a very positive thing,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you know when you look at it from a fan standpoint,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: because you know, I think our front office really believes
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: in our group that you know, we're gonna win, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: we're gonna win soon. So you know, it sucks that
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: was out on a caliber player like that and he's
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: gonna be great. But uh, you know, I like the
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: guys that we got in our clubhouse and and we
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: returned everyone from the playoff roster, so that should that
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: should give us a ton of confidence going in this season.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Kerk.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: You saw Bragman's numbers, the numbers they were thrown out there,
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: are you like, hey, Scott Harris.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's that's good money. That's a lot of money.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, I don't really have much to
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: say about that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: No talks, no talks. You got to just say no,
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: just just shake your head, just yes.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Or no, yes or no, yeah twice and you won't
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: like me.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, it's uh. The business part of the game
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: is interesting. I'm sure you know, everyone's kind of gone
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: through it. And I'll try my best to keep it,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: you know, out of the media because I just don't
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: want to you start talking about it and you got
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: to answer a bunch more questions about it. So I'll
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: try and do my best to keep that stuff private,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: you know, to myself.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, before I let you go, I want to talk
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: about the unsung heroes, right, guys that don't get a
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: lot of credit.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: And you look at what you guys have been able to.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Do from a bullpens standpoint, from rotation standpoint in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: last few seasons, even go back to Michael Lorenzen when
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: he was able to do what he found here Jack
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Flirty coming back. Can you talk about Chris Fatder? I
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: don't think you know, he's a quiet guy. He's kind
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: of subdued. I see him every once in a while
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: having to drink at the barge. He's a giant of
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: a man. But can you talk about what he's done
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: for this pitching staff and guys and it has made
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: guys Detroit a destination for pictures like can you can
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: you kind of expound on that a little bit?
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think our whole department, right, So fet is
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: obviously the head of it, but Robin Juan Nieves every
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: one that's kind of in the nerd room, analytics room.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: You know that no one ever sees, but they do
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: a great job of getting guys prepared. And you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Robin's the only one I think in the big leagues
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: with a doctorate degree. So I think that that's pretty cool.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: We have a doctor on our staff. I think that's
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: pretty cool. And uh, but they're really good at communicating
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: with players and getting guys moving the right way and
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: getting guys in the right you know, thought process. You know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: when I'm when I'm talking about scouting reports and game
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: day stuff, I'm talking with fet and I'm talking about
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: how I think my body's moving or what I'm feeling.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: I talk with Robin to see if he can compare
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: some things. And then Janie Avis. I love him because
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: he's old school. He'll just like walk in and say
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: a random thing before one of my starts, like, hey
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: do this one time or do this one time against
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: this team. You'll shut down this aspect of their game.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: And he's right every time, you know, And I'm like, what,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: that's not even a you can't watch video. He just
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: like knows guy's personalities, right. And I think the mess
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: that they got, and obviously their three relationships too, is
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: they're not afraid. I don't think they step on each
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: other's sos, and they're not afraid to have like constructive
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: conversations with everybody. So I think that's what good coaches do.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: And obviously you see what I was able to do
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: coming back from injury, what Jack's been able to do, Mike,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: you know Lorenz and I think the list goes on
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: every reliever that we've had.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: We've had some guys claimed and all this.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: You know, we optioned bow Brisk out of camp last year,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: and then he's throwing some of the most important innings
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: for us down the stretch. So I think it speaks
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: to to who they are. I can't say enough good
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: things about those guys.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Don't be given credit, don't be given man.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I love that guy. He's he's awesome. He's he's old school.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: He's like he's like Trek smile today and dominate.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yeahs a weird thing.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Like when a runners on first base just do this
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: one time. You don't even how to throw it, just
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: step right here, and I'm like, what does that even mean?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: And then I just go do it because I'm like,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: it's worked so many times. I'll just go do whatever
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: he tells me to do. I think he's kind of
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: earned that just blind trust.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: But he's great. He's old school. I love it, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: About his no hitter, as he told you about his
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: no hitter yet, because you used to talk about that,
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: like at least twice a day.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: He goes to the hitter Milwaukee once.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: If you threw a no hitter, you talk about it
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: too every day.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah about a game that he's probably talking about some things.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's a pretty special one. You know. He's
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the last one. Was he the first and last year?
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I think he's the only one.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was. I think he's the only one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: He's the only Brewer to ever do it. Yeah, so
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: trust me, he.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Lets you know, Yeah, rightfully should I think That's what
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I mean. You hold that over my head every day
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: until I get to do one.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: So I like that. There you go.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I like the same Patty's Day patch. By the way,
• 16:34

  Speaker 7: We could have taken him fishing out on the lakes
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: over there on the on the other side of town.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: You know, we could have done a lot of things.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: He said he wanted to meet Riley Green. I said,
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: if he came to my house, i'dn't I'd get him
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: hooked up with Riley Green, the other Riley Green. So,
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of things. There was incentives there.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: But you know, we're not good enough in the on
• 19:27

  Speaker 7: other side of town. You could, you could have gone.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's like a well for me to go back home,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it's like an hour and a half.
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: Well with the traffic now it's like two hours.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 19:57

• 20:15
  Speaker 5: in center I do. I think you're above average outfit.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: I don't think you get the credit that you deserve. Defensively,
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: How are we feeling about, you know, possibly playing some
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: center field to start this season? Do you care where
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: you are? Is it just more so about doing what
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: the team needs and you just want to be in
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: the lineup? Like what's your thought process on that?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just really doing what the team needs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: You know, we got some guys banged up, and I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what being a part of a team is,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to fill in for those guys that
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: are banged up, and you know, once they come back,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: But you know, I don't.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: I don't really care, and you know, whatever they need
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: out of me, I'll do.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I love that, Riley.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I know Spencer Torkleson is working on a little outfield action.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: What is your advice for him? For someone you know who?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever played it, right?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I think he told me he played
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it in the Cape a while ago. I just told
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: him just catch the ball though, it doesn't matter how it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Looks, make the players.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Just catch the ball.
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: And he goes, yeah, that makes sense.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, if he looked like an idiot who cares,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: just make the play, catch the ball.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: So how's his confidence?
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: Though?
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Is he like when these guys like man, I can
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: do whatevery Like I'm a baseball player, position baseball player.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Is he one of those guys to play whatever I'm
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: sticking out there, I'll get a job done. Like, what, how.
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: Has his his energy being with that?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: It's been good.
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: You know he's been he's been working his butt off.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You know, he's getting those extra reps he needs to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: get so he feels comfortable.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: But you know he's ready. He's an athlete, so he
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: can definitely do it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I like that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Hey, Cam, listen to this, right, y'all. So I just
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: want to say this.
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, y'all been watching jose Al tub out there
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: running around like circles, and he's a great athlete. I'll
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: feel easy. I'll go play off field. If Jill camp
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: Camp thought he was all cool jumping over the walls,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: I'm like, and anyone could play off And then i
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: saw jose Al Tuobay do it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, maybe no one could play off field.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: It's uh, it's definitely a tough position, especially the corner
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: is because you know, the ball can really do whatever.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: It can top spin, it can side spin. You know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it could be backs fun. It's it's just tough and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: it takes them getting used to.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Are you are you a coach? Are you a coach
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: out there? You are you telling Torque listen? You know right,
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: he's go this way, lefties goes this way? Or are
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: you just saying, hey, go catch it? And did you
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: tell them that Jesse Winker? Did you tell them that
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Jesse Winker? Whin the you just go to the cut
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: up man as soon as possible because you can't go
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: wrong cut man.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Well, we uh, we had a little discussion.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: He goes, you know, I got to keep the ball
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on my right side, you know, playing right with this wind.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, just catch the ball, don't think about
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on your right side. And yeah, he was like, I
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: gotta get out of the throwing program. I said, brother,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: just do it. I do Just hit the cut in
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: just one hot bases. That's that's all you gotta do.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: So he's a he's doing good. You know, he's ready
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and he's an athlete, so he can definitely do it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: So, okay, we let's talk about some you know, last

• 23:32
  Speaker 5: talk baseball or kind of figuring each other out a
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: little bit so to speak.
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: So actually, funny story.
