• 0:06
  Speaker 1: let's show I think a former KP team.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Did you spend a minute with Syracuse with the Chiefs?
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: No, I played in Syracuse. I was never on the
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Syracuse Mets, but I did play in Syracuse.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: And I just called him the Chiefs Syracuse.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: I was a Syracuse Met for a second. You're in
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: my career.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Well they.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Don't like the name anymore. Okay, well, they don't like
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the name. They want to rename it. So they're doing
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a community contest and they want help. Anyone have any ideas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: They did this with Binghamton and turned into the Rumble Ponies,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: which is an A plus name.
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've really you know what, I totally dropped the
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: ball on this one.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: All I remember. It was never really any fans there.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: It was always really quiet. I don't know, just the
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Syracuse soundless fans. I don't know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It was about whenever I've gone up there, it's negative
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: ten degrees and snowing eight feet.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: There you go. I'm down with that.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I see a potential partnership here. When I think Syracuse,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: New York, I think Dinosaur barbecues. So how about the
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Syracuse Dinosaurs.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: There you go? Cool mask impossible?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: You could definitely have a fire mascot running around there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: There you go. That would be hey, you know who?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: You probably have a lot more families coming out, right,
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: kids coming out. They would enjoy that, so and that's
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: what they need. I just remember not a lot of fans. So, hey,
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: the Syracuse Dino's. I like that, right, you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Can go to end up with a name like the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Rumble Ponies, Like did they just like everyone submitted their
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: name and then they pulled them out of a hat
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: and they're like, okay, let's vote, And someone just creatively
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: was like, hey, Rumble Ponies, that sounds great.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: There's maybe there's some story to it that we don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: know because we didn't look it up.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But I like dinosaurs.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I mean you could do like a badass version of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Barney and bring him out there, more of a devilish Barney.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, you know, I don't know if you go,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you remember Barney Scotty, but you
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: do you remember bj I think.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: It was it was like the Yellow Dinosaur. Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I used to remember because.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: I think like the Rockies kind of they don't they
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: have a mascot that kind of looks like Barney a
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: little bit. So let's go like with BJ and go
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: with the yellow he had, like the cool sneakers, like
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: that was my favorite, you know character off the Barney
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: episodes was was that was that dinosaur character. So I
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: think we could switch it up, maybe some yellow and
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: something in there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Orange orange fire.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: All right, FT is back on TV's Across the Nation
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and Kevin Plar is going to welcome in his former
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: teammate KP.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You want to do the intro?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'll do a brief intro. I mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: former team of mine.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It was short lived, but very obviously very impactful. We
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: played together in spring Train. I was with the White
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Sox for one month, but got to know Andrew Vaughn,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: got to know his wife, was just a great teammate.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And obviously we're very happy to have you on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: show now, Milwaukee Brewer. Uh, kind of We're obviously going
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to touch on, you know, going from last to first,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: but how you doing doing good?
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, definitely a world win of a
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: year for me, to say the least.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I want to stay awake a little bit
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: from the obvious, because I know Cam wants to kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: of touch on, you know, culture of you know obviously
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: going from the White Sox to the Brewers, but I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: kind of just wanted to talk about a little bit
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: about your journey. You know, everyone's path and the big
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: leagues is a little bit different. Yours is much different
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: than mine. I was a guy who's kind of up
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and down in the minor leagues, big leagues, Triple A,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and then I finally got my opportunity. You got your opportunity,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you made the most of it, you played really well,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and then you struggled a little bit and you got
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: sent down a Triple A. Was that a little bit
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: of a wake up call for you? I know, as
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a player, you always know that that's a reality, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: someone like you that for the most part was kind
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of smooth sailing. You know, you kind of forget that
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that's a reality, and then one day you just find
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: out you're going to Triple A. Was that just kind
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: of a little bit of a wake up call for you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it was definitely tough.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, first two months of the season didn't go
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: anywhere I wanted to, you know, the goals to go
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: out there and help your team win, and you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: it felt like I wasn't able to do that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: You know, I was taking my best at Batch. You know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: I always put.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: It all on the line, no matter what, just not
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: to see the results you know it's done, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: getting the triple A. I think the biggest goal was
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: just just get right, you know, get myself back.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: To what I do in the box.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: And you know I kind of I kind of felt
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: like I was moving that way, you know, and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: the trade happened.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Hey, hey, Andrew, I want to I want to piggyback
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: off of that man, because I think that was a
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: great setup for my question because most of us, you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: baseball players, we don't lose a lot coming through the rings,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: right the first time we really you know, get that
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: taste of losing is in professional baseball, right, And I
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: just want to ask you, like, was there any pressure,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: you know, you coming up to the White Sox as
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: highly talent, as highly talent as you were, was there
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: just you know, did you put add a pressure on yourself,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: like trying to do everything and trying to, you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: be the guy that creates that spark or whatever the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: White Sox was looking for. Was that a part of
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: kind of the struggles that you went through after when
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: you first came up and we saw just how special
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: player you were.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a little bit. You know, it's definitely
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: tough losing. Nobody wants to do that. That's you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: the worst thing in baseball. So I mean me personally,
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: I was trying to go out there and do everything
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: I could, you know, worked my butt off, you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: went out there and was trying my best, and just
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: you know, it didn't work out the best. And yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: you know I came up pretty quick. You know, not
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: much minor league time. COVID happened. COVID kind of did
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: everything crazy to everybody, you know, But I got the
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: opportunity and you know, wanted to take full advantage of it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: One quick fall on that too.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: You had a brief stint with and when we gonna
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: get to the fun stuff and the happy stuff, because
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: I'm so happy for you to be able to play
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: a winning Brandon baseball because what KP was talking about,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: you know, I mentioned earlier, people don't realize.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: That, you know, bad baseball can be contagious, you know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: You know, even some of my you know, good years,
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: it was a struggle on bad teams. You know, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: thought I had a good year and they hit like
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: two sixty and it was like, well, that was a.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Good year on the struggling team.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Can you talk about just on your way out, because
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I think he's done a great job.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Will Venable just a little bit on maybe.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: The culture change he was my ex teammate. Can you
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: just touch on him a little bit before we talk
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: about the Brewers and and the kind of leader that
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: he's shown to be earlier early in his teen yere
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: as a White Sox manager.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, his knowledge of the game is I mean,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: you've seen it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: He was also under Boti, who's you know, one of
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: the greatest managers to exist. And I think he just
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: brought the right energy. You know, he had the right
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: mindset and you know, got the guys together. And you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: short lived that was with him, unfortunately, but you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: he was great.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I'm on my phone right now in Arena Club and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Emerald slab packs and I see

• 8:01
  Speaker 1: out Hey, are there any changes?
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And a lot of fans do too. So when you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: go over to Milwaukee, you know, I'm looking at scattering reports.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Did you move a little bit closer to the plate,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and do you have a conversation with the coaching staff
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: about you know, the way you've made contact right?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You've always hit the ball hard.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: We talked about this for a while, right, and a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, you go opposite field seeing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you pull the ball a little more right now, so
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you can describe it much better than I can take
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: us through what you're actually seeing from either a stance
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: and approach perspective, and then also the way the ball's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: coming off the bat for you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't really think about the stance stuff very much.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: You know, kind of went over some film with the
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: hitting coaches in Nashville, and you know, there was some
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: some minor tweaks you looked at when I was going
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: good and me compared to you know, maybe some rollovers,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: some ground balls orre not going so good, you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: and there was something that stood out and just you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: worked on those in the cage, and you know, I think.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: That's you know, helped my approach big time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Hey, now we got to ask about Pat Murphy.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: I've been fortunate enough to be around a lot of guys, right,
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: talk about a great leader, man, great energy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: One. Does he know your real name.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Or did he just immediately give you a nickname? And
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: what's the nickname? Because everybody he gives everybody nickname? What's
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: your nickname? Thus far, this early and.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: With the Brewers, I ain't kind of nickname yet.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: He ain't given you a nickname yet.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Bro, I didn't get a nickname. I'm gonna say it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: not a nickname.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: But you know, I was going up there, and you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: first couple of bats, I think, I think I hit
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: a rollover, got jam broke my bat. And he just
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: looked at me and goes, hey, man, just play like
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: a Neanderthal up there, don't think, don't have any knowledge.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Just play.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And I was like, huh, I think Pat's calling. When
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you're raking, you get phone calls. That's what happened. Oh wait,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: come back, I think he's back. Yeah, Andrew, go ahead.

• 12:45
  Speaker 6: of scrutiny. Seriously, how much fun is it waking up
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: every day and driving to a ballpark knowing that you're
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: going to play some meaning for baseball down the STRETCHS Like,
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: how much fun is.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: That for you?
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: I mean it's so exciting. I mean, you know, you
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: wake up, you got that little bit extra energy, just
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: ready to get there. I mean the clubhouse open at
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: twelve thirty, I bet every guy's in there.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Then you know, it's just a special feeling.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to ask you off of the SIVALI question.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And first of all, he pitched money on the weekend
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: for the White Sox, so that's working out for them too.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But do you look back, like how crazy it is
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that so many events need to lead up to this
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: moment where now you're in the thick of a playoff
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: race with the team that's got the best record in baseball, right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: because it basically came from the Brewers having starting pitching depth. Right,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: they have too many good starters, which is probably one
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of two or three teams in all of baseball that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: have that problem.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The rest of them are desperately looking for them.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: That turns into a starter wanting a starting spot, that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: turns into him going to the White Sox and you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: ending up here.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, definitely crazy. Like I said, it's been
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: a world win. You know, get sent a triple A Charlotte,
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: end up getting traded, get sent to Nashville, you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: unfortunately to reach but you know, got my opportunity and
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: my biggest fote was just get here and help the
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: team win. They were already rolling. So it's like I
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: just want to plug in and do what I can.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: One more for me, Andrew, do you notice anything different
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: or unique about the way that the Brewers organization runs.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I know you've been there quick, right, But a lot
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of our guys, and I'm the only non player, most
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of the guys on this show play the game for
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a long time. They'll tell me how they see something different.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Cam can speak to this too. The Brewers are playing
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: a style of baseball that's very different from many other
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: teams in the game. It's not all exit velocity of session.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Obviously stuff to be a big leaguer, but we're seeing
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: things that, actually, I can comment from a fan perspective,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: are generally more fun to watch. So it's clean defense,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it's good base running. What have you noticed, Like, how
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: do you get a team to play like that? Of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: course you need the personnel, but how do you get
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a team to play that way?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: I think it's just everybody buying in, you know, that's
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: the biggest thing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Guys just putting.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: It out on the line, just doing any during that
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: game to win, whether it's a bond, whether it's a
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: hit and run, you know, making a good play, just
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: all aspects of the game.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: And I feel like everybody here bought into that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna touch on something kind of off topic,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: here that maybe a lot of people don't understand. You know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I was traded a couple of times in my career.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It's very difficult the first time. It gets a little
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: bit easier the second time. But for us, it's just
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: playing baseball. But behind every player is a great wife. Lexie,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: your wife. How is she making the adjustment to Milwaukee?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I know, you guys had a you know, a big
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: footprint in the city of Chicago. You guys did a
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: lot of things, charitable things off the field. How is
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: she settling into a new town.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's been a world win for both
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: of us. You know, she's loving it. She's excited. She's
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: meeting all the wives and you know, getting connected, because
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: that's a big part of it too. I mean there
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: are families, but you know, our goal is we have
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: to go play baseball. But what goes on behind the scenes,
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: Like she's finding us a place to live, moving furnit sure,
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: shipping cars, doing all this stuff, and it's I mean,
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: we can't do it without them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, you guys can attest to that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Shout out to all the wives out there who, like
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: you said, people don't know what they really do.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: They really become our personal assistants at time. They really do.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: And I sacrifice so much.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I don't want to keep it on the high note
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: because just like KP, I was traded quite a few times. Uh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: And you're always trying to you know, you know, buy
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: into the new culture and fit in.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Who's been the guy? Early on you said you're going
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: fishing today? A five? Like, who's been the guy.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: That you connected with pretty quickly in that clubhouse that
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: you're like, Okay, this is you know, I'm bobbing with everybody,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: but like, this is my guy.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Who's who's welcoming you with open arms? And who you
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: really vibbing with right now?
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: I think the only guy I knew off playing baseball
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: was I met Terrang a few years ago. You know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: he got a brand new puppy and it was a
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: great day. Brought it over to my house in Arizona
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: when I used to live there, and just kind of
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: had that little connection, you know, went and talked to him,
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: asked him some questions like what do we do here?
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: What we got?
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: You know, gravitated towards him. But I mean the whole group, man,
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: they just woke me with open arms.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: It was awesome.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Hey, real quick the off of that, real quick? What
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: did he tell you?
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: Because I remember getting going to the Astros and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: kind of the same thing. I asked George Springer. I'm like, hey, like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: you know, I was a big workout guy, and I'm
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: you know, I go in the weight room and like
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: nobody's going really in the weight room, And I asked
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: George Springer, I'm like, hey, like, what what do we
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: do here?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Like what's the like, what's the flow?
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: He just goes hit or get left behind, dude, Like,
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: we don't really overthink anything.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: We just played baseball.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Like what did he give you on the Brewers when
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: you ask like, hey, what what to expect?
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: Be ready at seven? I mean, that's that's the biggest thing.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like, that's that's.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: The most important thing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Not going out checking boxes, just getting in there as
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: soon as the lights come on, just play ball.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Play like in the end of the all.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I like that line a lot.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: That's good.
• 17:50
