  Speaker 2: games as possible. It's the worst being hurt, you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it's uhs tough, tough being on the bench and feeling
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like you can't contribute in that way. So definitely the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: most important thing standing on the field.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Have they talked to you about and uh with sam
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: here Samuel hear a catching sharing like to keep you healthy,
• 1:52

  Speaker 3: Has all been asked you that question? Or is it
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: just play as many can?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I mean that No, I mean that conversation, I guess
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: hasn't been had. And I think for me, it's I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: want to play as many games as I can. That's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that's my goal.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: It should be.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you've done okay, so yeah it should
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: be your goal. Yeah, how do you what's the biggest
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: thing the spring that you want to work on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: For me, it's just it's one of those things where
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I want to be in the best possible spot I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: can be going into Opening Day. I want to make
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: sure that my swing that I want to have for
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the year is like I'm trending in that direction starting
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: with Opening Day and whatever that is like for me,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it's getting that one percent every single day, like getting
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: my feels in the cage, making sure like I'm looking
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: at video ever rep has intention to it and like
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: how am how am I seeing the ball? How am
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I getting swings off? Am I barreling balls? All that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: feedback is is super important going into Opening Day. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: That's where I'm trying to get to and where I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: want to be at all.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Right, the bat, the bat makes your money, but I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: pretty sure you want to win a World Series. So
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: the connection with the pitchers is what wins that World
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: series for you guys, What does that what does that
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: look like? What does that look like on a day
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: in and day out? Basis spring training what you're looking
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: for from you got some new faces. You're also trying
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: to bring bradish back, who was a cy young you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: had cy Young votes before he got hurt, and then
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Trevor Rodgers has to repeat what he did in the
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: second half. What does that look like in spring training
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: for you, because to me, that's the most important part
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: of your job.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, it's a lot of meetings, It's
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of conversations with with guys like in bullpens
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and just after innings in the dugout. All that feedback,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: all that communication from from them is huge and super valuable.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And I think just understanding, especially with the new guys
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: bass Bassett, understanding how they operate, what kind of feedback
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: they want and what they want to see in game.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know, what's going to allow them to give up
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: three runs in the first and then go seven innings
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: three runs up, you know. So I think just having
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: those conversations, understanding how they operate is is huge and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: definitely been a lot of meetings.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And have you talked to Bassett?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean does he talk to you about
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the whole pitch comedy thing where he'll hit a button
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and he'll go, oh no.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll shake himself off on the pitch. Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: No, I mean I've been on the other end of that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And I've seen that the spring training. I think, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: those buttons get tricky sometimes, and especially like for them
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: when they're feeling around and they're like, I do it
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: sometimes too, where I hit the wrong button and you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'll hit slider and then it'll be backpick and I'm like, no, no,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not that, And so.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: How do you how do you because I know we
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: didn't have you know, we actually had to use the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: yeah fingers.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So what happens if you hit the wrong is there
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like a delete?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, there's you know, you have the cancel or
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know that's when guys are just shaking their head
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and just you know, there's no one on base and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you give the pickoff and you're like, okay, no that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not delete. Yeah yeah, yeah, cancel, cancel, cancel.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: You have it on your shing guard, Yeah, if you
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: take it off, because I see Alejandra Kirk he takes
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: it off and holds it sometimes he just doesn't want
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to reach all the way over here and do it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I just I mean, I just go right off the knee.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: You know, you got to cover it. You don't wan
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: anyone's stealing your fingers.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it can't be given off the you know dexterity
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: with the forum.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: The number one rated ticketing app is seat geek and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you can get ten percent off on seat geeks app
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: by using the code territory ten, so you should use it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Aj Oh, I'm definitely going to use it for WBC
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: games and Jammy because I want to go to the semi.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Finals in the finals and they're going to be sold out.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Absolutely spring training games for the people out there who
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: want to go to spring training games. Absolutely great idea
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: best seats Radar one through ten and I recently had
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: to use seageek to buy tickets to a Florida Gators
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: basketball game that was sold out. So I love the
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: code territory ten percent off and the rating is the best.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's talking about each ticket rated on a scale
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of one to ten, so you know you're getting a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: good deal. So look for the green dots. Green means good,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: red means bad. And of course we have a code
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for you, like I mentioned, it's territory ten for ten
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: percent off your next set of tickets at se geek.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That's ten percent off any tickets with promo code t
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: E R R I O R Y one zero. Make
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sure you click the link in the description and download
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the app and have the code automatically added to your
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: account so you can use it later.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you to see geek.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: How quickly do you do that? Because you hear it
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: at the same time and like you're like, oh backpick,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: oh crap, do you have to hit cancel? Or is
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a picture look at you and go nobody's on base?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Like what are those interactions?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's like sometimes it's you get a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: smile out of them if you know, you mess up,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But most of the time it's you're trying to get
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it in like quick enough to where like if you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: do give something wrong, you have time to to you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: press cancel, go back, hit something else, just.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Say cancel in your ear. Yeah, so it says back
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that cancel kids. Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Or I mean if there's if you give something like
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that and there's no one on base, then I just
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: go straight to whatever else it is because.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Is in your voice no no robot voice.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just some you know, some chat GBT voice
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that need to you know, you can make it your voice, yeah, absolutely,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And then you could have a button to be like
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: if you you suck. Yeah. Yeah, they were trying to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: get that like after strikeouts, you know, have have something
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: pump up? Yeah, just like way to go, great job. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: How often does that happen? How often do you hit
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: the wrong button? Because this is all new for me
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: and AJ we never got to play video games on
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: the field.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say probably two or three times a game,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: so wow. Yeah. I mean it's just like the thing
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: is with some of them too. You have like like
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: some of them, if you press it once, it's like
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it's something. If you hold it, it's something else. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: so sometimes like if you press it and you don't
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: hold it, then it's like something else that you don't want.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: So sometimes it just like you just it malfunctions.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Do you ever come into the dugout after press you're
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: like Slider and it gets hit for a homer.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: You ever come in and be like, this is a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: video game.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to go down in a way to your picture,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Like you didn't follow the A button I hit?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if they leave it in the nitro zone,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: then it's no, No.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Can't blame you that I pressed the A button.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: No, I mean that's the thing too. As a catcher,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: as you know, is like you got to account for
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the misses and like what they've been doing and throwing
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: on that given day. And so it's like you're trying to,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you know, say, okay, if he throws a slider here,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but he might miss here, and I think that's still
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: gonna be okay if he misses here, So uh, then
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it's on me, you know.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: So take us to the off season. Take us the
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: off season when you're seeing things come across the ticker
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: or when you're getting calls hey, have you ever had
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: interaction with this guy? How much are you? Were you
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: a part of any of the discussions of guys that
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: you guys ended up trading for signing, and if you weren't,
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: tell us your reaction or like the group thread reaction
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: as you guys found out.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Are you asking if I got like calls on on
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: certain guys.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Like anybody like like, do you, hey, Adley, do you
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: know anything about Pete Alonzo? You're like, Hey, it's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: lot of dangers. Do you know anything about shame Box?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, they're not They're not calling me for advice
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: really at all.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Now, just the person did they call you? Yeah, not
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: as I think.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: If if they think I know someone. Then I'm sure
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: they'll they'll ask what you know, what do you got
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: on a certain guy? But I'm not getting. I'm not getting.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Did they call you before they move the fences in?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: No, No, that they called Pete. Maybe I don't know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You they maybe I would think they probably did. They're like, hey, Pete,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: by the way, if you want to sign here, we'll
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: move the fences in twenty feet before you left.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Perfect? Yeah, I mean that that thing is?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: That was that was formative?
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: What they call it?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Very big word from high school graduate? Uh, more than
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: one syllable.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: What are they call it? Mount Baltimore? Yeah, the thing?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why did you do that?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Because the coolest part about playing at Cammon Yards was
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: the defence was low and you could get moments like
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: where Manny Ramirez ran up and caught the ball and
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: high five to the fan and then threw it back
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: to like you can't do that anymore now.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know if they're like planning on doing
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: something with that, like new area with the fence moved
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: in and it's kind of like the fence a little
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: bit lower.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, that affects your right handed power though.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah, yeah, for sure, close to the fence
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to help the pictures. Yeah, I don't know. I mean
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: so it's like, yeah again they you know, they're not
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: asking me for my my take.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Shame they should you just give it. You should just
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: see it going into a Lias Like listen to Mike,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: here's the deal. We're gonna sit down, We're gonna figure
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: this all out.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we got to just go over the analytics
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of like what's the optimal for pictures, pitchers and hitters.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: What we're gonna have Trevor Rodgers on what what?
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: What did he change in the second half to make
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: him because he was unbelievable in the second half. Yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: a little bit more in the second half, but his
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: last like what fifteen starts are incredible.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he from what I understand, I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: just getting back to his identity and you know, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: think his velo ticked up a bit. And obviously we
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: have phenomenal pitching coaches, so great job pitching coaches and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: training staff and everyone else had a part in it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But he's also just got a great mindset and for him,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's just a matter of time. Like he's
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: he's one of those guys. He works super hard, super
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: diligent about his work, and you see that, and everyone
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: wants him to have the utmost success because it's just
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the best person. And last year he went out and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: dominated and he's just super super competitive and I think
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I love watching him pitch. It's been awesome spring training
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: so far. He's uh, you know, he goes out on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the mound with with authority and confidence and you love
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to see that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: How much is WBC?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Have you been watching?

• 14:16
  Speaker 2: as a whole, or I don't know, like I'm I
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: don't know the backstory on it. So it's tough, tough

  Speaker 2: Hey, Madly, I'm gonna jump in here for a question.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Uh, what do you think about the What do you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: think about the division this year? I mean, obviously, you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: guys did a lot in the offseason.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: We gave a lot of praise to that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think you guys significantly improved what you've got, But
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: damn the Blue Jays had a run last year.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They improved.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: The Yankees are running the same team back, the Red
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Sox added pitching. What do you think of the division?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And you know, I can mix it in with like
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the Classic. Do you think it's the best division in baseball?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Toughest division?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's I feel like every year that
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: every year have been with the team, The AL East
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: has always been talked about as a very strong division,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and everyone's trying to win it. You know, everyone's bringing
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: on pieces trying to trying to win, and you just
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you expect that year in and year out. So I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: think for us, it's something you're kind of used to, uh,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And we're just focused on trying to like control what
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: we can control in our locker room the day to
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: day and making sure that we're doing the right stuff
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, that's all we
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: can control is is our clubhouse and our expectations what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: we do and hopefully like that takes care of takes
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: care of it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Who are you living with this spring? Got?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, well, if you Gunner, you're great.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Gunner's on here.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Gunner. Gunner was living with us and whenever
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: he gets back for you know, hopefully a day or two.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: No, you don't want him to win. What did you
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: say he's back in a day or two?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I mean for a day or two. Like I was like,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know the last day of the WBC, but
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: it's next Tuesday, so yeah, and I think we leave
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Saturday or something. So yeah, like day or two. Okay,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you know we bounce out. No, not in there. No, No,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: we're happy for Gunner, but you know we miss him.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: We miss him around the house. Uh. Westburg Kowser also
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: in the house. So it feels like it feels everyone
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: feels a little lost.

• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Really.
• 20:17

• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, he never says anything.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I've never said that line on a course, but that
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: could be something you could say, like any bad drive,
• 20:38

• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know where?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just like, oh did you know you like were

• 21:15
  Speaker 4: one overall. Did you go to teams and say I
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: can only wear orange and black? So that's why the
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Orioles picture.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: One to one? Uh? It was the Orioles are the
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: giants were your only options?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean the colourway has been super easy. It's
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: been an easy transition the entire time. I guess I'm
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: just a man of man of comfort.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: You don't like, no, I do I do.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Halloween's fine, it's totally fine. Uh, more of a you know,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Christmas fourth of July.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I get it. I get We have the clip of you.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I wasn't on when you were on last time, I
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: don't know, so I never got but you here, this
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: is you and you know who you're tackling. I'm sure
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: you've seen this at times. Is this the greatest moment
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: in your sports career?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Right here?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the moment they get shown the most.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: At the time. It was the punter kick kickoff, kickoff, Yeah, yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: why do you kick a touchback? Well, we were just
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: trying to kick away from him and they did it sweitch,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: so like if you can't see the back angle, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: like he was lined up on the other side, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: then like as we were coming up to the ball,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: they like switched because they want to get him the
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: ball obviously, So we were just trying to kick away
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: from him and he got it. So uh, I ended
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: up tackling him and then it was like me and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: all the other specialists like in you know, on the
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: sideline afterwards, we're like, oh my gosh, like that was crazy,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: But it didn't feel like that big of a thing
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: at the time because it was just like a group
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: of six of us like kind of like yeah, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: also we were losing at the time.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: So when you were the kickof they feel like a
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: relief pitcher, like a special teams player like we used to.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Adam Dunn used to call the all the relievers kickers
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: because they only played like a quarter of the game,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: so they need him in special situations.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I would say I felt so as a freshman kicker
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: on the team two months into college. I felt probably
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: much less than that. I would say, not a ton
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: of friends on the team at the time, really low
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: on the pulled podium, A specialist and a freshman, so, uh,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you know, not getting a lot of convers You.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Didn't use that out out at night, I know, like
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: a you know, we're not Friday next. You played on
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: like a Tuesday night. You were like you go out
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: to a nice restaurant. Yeah, you'd say, hey girl, I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: a freshman kickoff specialist.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think I'm using that one. Uh, you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: it did help once once baseball season started, then some
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: people are like, oh, well, we didn't know we.
