Full Transcript for Why YOU should be rooting for the Brewers + Tyler Phillips joins!

2: And the two theme calorie intakes of a brewer fan, cheese and beer. So if you like cheese and beer, this is your squad. 00:03:12 Speaker 4: He doesn't like those. Is there anybody that doesn't like those? Scott, I guess. 00:03:18 Speaker 2: Scott doesn't like cheese. And the stuff in beer he doesn't like either. So it doesn't mean he doesn't like them. They don't like him. 00:03:25 Speaker 3: How about that? Exactly. 00:03:27 Speaker 5: They don't like me. I have a different version of that stuff. It's called tequila. 00:03:31 Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding. I do have. 00:03:33 Speaker 1: Some gluten-free action. But let's keep it on Milwaukee. This city is small in big league baseball terms. It's the smallest TV market until the A's become biggest. So for some, if you like rooting for the little engine that could, we already. 00:03:50 Speaker 5: Did one of these on Cleveland. They have the small payroll. 00:03:54 Speaker 1: The Brewers also live in a smaller window. less opportunity than others. I agree, but I think they have to trade their dudes away. 00:04:08 Speaker 4: They do, but they make good trade. It's like they make these trades and they trade a guy away and then they get to like, you look at Corbin Burns, they got deal hall has been nice for him. Joey Ortiz has been a start. Say what you want about Joey Ortiz, but he's been a nice player. He's been a starting player for multiple years for him in the Corbin Burns trade. 00:04:23 Speaker 3: Right. 00:04:24 Speaker 4: Devin Williams, they trade away. They get players back. It's like who do they trade away and they get guys back, and then when they get these guys back, they figure out how to plug them into Pat Murphy and Matt Arnold's system. So I think the Brewers have done a lot of right things, and I think that they're kind of a– listen, they're not the Rays as far as people looking at them saying we want to be the Brewers, but I think people should start looking at the Brewers and say, hey, we might want to look at the Brewers and how they do it because Antonaccio, Mark Antonaccio, their owner, They do spend money. It's not like they don't have anybody. They do spend a little bit of money that they have, and their stadium's awesome. There's a lot of things good about the Brewers. Again, if you like good baseball, watch the Brewers. They play good baseball. 00:05:08 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:05:08 Speaker 2: All the models don't. All the models. Everybody's model does not choose them to win, and that's how teams are being built. They're saying our model is going to win, whether it's Pat Murphy, whatever it is. The other part of being a Brewers fan, and this is something the Rays do not do and will not afford you to do because they tried it once. I'm sorry. They got Evan Longoria, and then the next long-term extension they gave out hasn't worked out well. Obviously, you can look it up, Wander Franco. is you can buy a jersey of a favorite player. And while we said they got rid of Burns, they got rid of Peralta, they got rid of Hayter, all that stuff, they lock some dudes up that you are able to say, you know what? I can connect with a Cooper Pratt. I can connect. I can be a junior... Not junior Churrio. Junior Churrio was Jackson Churrio. Junior Churrio was one of my teammates. Churrio, you can buy a jersey and you can keep them. It's... It's rare that teams are locking guys up and then those dudes are making impacts. Luis Lara, Christian Jelic is now the captain. He's one of three captains in the big leagues right now. He's been locked up for a long time and they've won the entire time. So you know what? You can connect with your new team and connect with a certain player on that team. 00:06:28 Speaker 5: And you know why the models don't like them? They don't hit dingers. They don't have pop in the lineup. Jake Bowers. 00:06:36 Speaker 2: They do though. 00:06:37 Speaker 4: They have some dudes that can hit them. No, I know. 00:06:42 Speaker 5: They don't rank. 00:06:44 Speaker 1: They don't have the homers. They don't have the pulled fly ball contact. They go against the grain with things like that. 00:06:49 Speaker 5: I think it's cool. I think that's one reason why you should, what Murph wants. 00:06:53 Speaker 4: That's one of the great things brewers do is they, Matt Arnold does a great job of finding and as much as trash is, you know, Murph says about the ivory tower and we've had him on. 00:07:03 Speaker 2: He's awesome. 00:07:04 Speaker 4: They have a great communication. And they get players that Murph can fit into what he wants to do as a team. Christian Yelich is the captain, talks to guys and says, hey, ABC, this is how we do it here. And they find the guys that fit into needs that they have. And it's a lot like the Rays. The Rays find guys that fill needs that they have. And once they plug them in, they fit into the experience, whatever, atmosphere, clubhouse mentality, and they go from there. 00:07:32 Speaker 2: You said they don't hit a lot of home runs. I forget. We just had to stat up there 28th in the league. How about this? What if I ask this? I'm trying to look it up right now. What if they hit just the right amount of home runs? What do we talk about? Teams that don't make adjustments because all they're trying to do is pull side power. They're trying to– everybody wants to hit home runs. And this is an extreme example, and I hate extreme examples, but Ichiro Suzuki. Go to a game and watch him take BP. He could hit a lot of homers. I forget who it was that said this. He could hit 40 if he put his mind to it. I'm not saying you can beat Ichiro Suzuki. He's a Hall of Fame player. I'm saying, what if they do hit enough home runs? I'm pulling it up here. When you have 26 home runs, 25 home runs, 21 home runs, 18 home runs, what if that's okay? Because... The most strikeouts on your team is 171. Like, what if that's okay? Like, maybe there's a threshold. It's like saying, well, I want all of this. Okay, then I want

everything. I want every swing to be a homer. And I think the Brewers are right in that happy medium, and they also drive the ball to the opposite field, which drives a lot of runs in, blah, blah, blah. 00:08:56 Speaker 5: Another reason why you should love the Brewers. You're going to like this one, AJ. You go, and then I'll go. 00:09:03 Speaker 4: No, and what Kratz just said, I don't know if you guys saw this, Ben Verlander's tweet about how teams hit pull-fly balls and the Brewers are the only team that aims the other way. Pretty awesome. Because I know coming up, Tom Kelly, the Twins were like, you've got to hit the ball the other way if you want to get a lot of hits. Guess who led the league in on-base percentage this year? 00:09:20 Speaker 3: The Brewers. 00:09:22 Speaker 4: Because they foul a lot of pitches off, they take their walks, they just build it bat after bat, and it just continues to put pressure on other teams. It's not, hey, I'm going to go up there and I'm going to swing three times as hard as I can and punch out and Go on to the next. It's pressure because I'm fouling off. Jake Bowers is their. 00:09:36 Speaker 2: Home run guy. 00:09:37 Speaker 4: We would have 10, 12 pitch at-bats. We've seen it in this postseason. So maybe there's something to that. Now teams are going to look at that and say, oh, maybe we should tell the guys to hit the ball the other way. No way. Like that doesn't work, guys. 00:09:49 Speaker 2: Jake Bowers, third in the league in on-base percentage. Third. No chance you would have gotten 10 guesses to pick where Jake Bowers was in on-base percentage in the league yesterday. He's been that guy since I saw him at like 20 or 21 playing against him in Durham with the Rays. He's always been an on-base guy, and now it's translating to the big leagues. 00:10:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also the Brewers are great representations of the sport. They're accessible players. They have an A-plus PR team. Their players will chat with you all day long. 00:10:25 Speaker 2: It matters. 00:10:26 Speaker 1: It's the one thing where I feel like I can comment. Yeah, Pat Murphy, all these guys. 00:10:30 Speaker 4: You can't get their manager to stop talking to you. 00:10:32 Speaker 5: I know, but that's important. 00:10:33 Speaker 4: Vassallo, I can't believe I'm about. 00:10:35 Speaker 5: To say this. There are some in the sport. Go ahead. 00:10:37 Speaker 4: No, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but Mike Vassallo, their PR guy, he does anything. If you need something from him, you want something from him, he is all about it. except for the one time I asked him to get someone to slide down the slide. He said no because it was the playoffs. But he did eventually get to go down the slide. But, I mean, you ask him for– I mean, he texts you. He'll text you the lineups early. You know, it's not for public consumption, so you can start prepping, right? He'll do any– you need a player. You need to talk to somebody. You may– you know, his PR staff does an unbelievable job. I have to give him credit. When he's not on Game Changer, he does a really good job. 00:11:13 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:11:14 Speaker 5: That means he's watching his kid play ball, which we like. 00:11:16 Speaker 4: Yes, he's on game. Yes. 00:11:19 Speaker 1: He's a good dad for context, for those that don't watch the show every day. But they are a great representation of the sport, and that's important. I'm not going to name names right now, maybe later, but some teams act like MLB is a monopoly. It's the only entertainment product on the planet. So they're too busy for life. Even sometimes a team that's in a small market and no one's bothering them. I'm not just talking about one team. There's multiple teams like this. And then there's Milwaukee and they're like, everyone's invited. We appreciate our fans. We appreciate the media that then gets the message out to the fans that matters too. So if you wanted a 500th reason why you should maybe be a Brewers fan for a month. 00:11:58 Speaker 5: Adopt a team, then boom, there you go. 00:12:01 Speaker 4: And also their TV and radio crew are awesome too. Let's not forget. I mean, you know, EA, Rock, Sophia, Jeff Levering, that whole crew that they have there is pretty awesome too. So let's not And I know the local, the Milwaukee people love them. So Vinny Rotino. 00:12:18 Speaker 1: They do things well out there. They've got it down. And that's why they are what they are right now. All right, coming up next, we have a little bit more postseason-wise to get to in terms of some trends that we're seeing and some upcoming trends to be alarmed about. 00:12:36 Speaker 3: We'll get to that. 00:12:36 Speaker 1: And you'll be able to see those games, specifically the Brewers and the Dodgers continuing with their NLCS on Fox and the Fox one app. Start your Fox one three day free trial today at foxone.com. 00:12:52 Speaker 5: Hey, here he is. Tyler Phillips from the Marlins joining us right now. Good to see you, man. How is off season life? 00:12:58 Speaker 3: What's up, dude? 00:12:59 Speaker 5: Are you watching the playoffs? 00:13:02 Speaker 3: A little bit. My wife watches more than me trying to disconnect a little. 00:13:06 Speaker 5: Oh, that's a good one where you're like, Hey, I want to watch. 00:13:09 Speaker 1: Netflix apple whatever and she's like actually playoffs. 00:13:13 Speaker 6: Uh why why because i want to be there and uh i get the itch and i i almost go into my side yard outside and just start throwing and i shouldn't be throwing right now. 00:13:24 Speaker 4: Yeah but don't you do like i used to do tyler like when i watch these teams you know guys on certain teams and you're going man i want him to win but i don't want i don't really like that guy so i don't want him to win so then you're trying to figure out who you're rooting for because there's guys on certain teams that you're like, man, I like that guy, but I don't really like him. So then you're

trying to figure out who you want to root for, but not really win, but also kind of win. It's like a weird dynamic when you're still playing. 00:13:47 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:13:48 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a little bit of that, but I don't, I don't really want anyone to win if I'm not winning. 00:13:53 Speaker 2: That's, that's it. That is it. No one to win. 00:13:57 Speaker 4: Someone's got to win. 00:13:59 Speaker 3: No, AJ. 00:14:00 Speaker 6: I mean, if I had to give you an answer, I mean, got my guy, Liam Hicks over there with the rays. Uh, I appreciate him and all the work he's done with me. So there's a few other guys over there that I know with the Rays. But like I said, if I'm not there, I don't really care that much. Honestly, my wife gets annoyed listening to me try to talk about what pitch is coming next based off of the previous one thrown. 00:14:24 Speaker 3: So I go somewhere else. 00:14:27 Speaker 4: Do you have a wristband? Do you have the wristband? 00:14:29 Speaker 3: Or do you have a pitchcom? 00:14:30 Speaker 4: Do you have a pitchcom where the guy in the dugout for the Marlins is going, Kyler, throw us lighter. Kyler, throw us lighter. 00:14:38 Speaker 3: No, no. 00:14:39 Speaker 6: I got to practice if they ever do decide to go away from that. 00:14:43 Speaker 3: So I like to practice on my own. That's good. 00:14:47 Speaker 2: That's fair. That's good. 00:14:49 Speaker 1: Hey, on that, while we're on unique things from the team, what did you think of Sandy Alcantara just now? 00:14:56 Speaker 5: Slinging some saves at the end of the year. 00:14:58 Speaker 1: Did that have anything to do with how you guys do sim games between starts? And he was like, I'll just sim game and end the game? 00:15:05 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there was a little bit of that. Towards the end of the year, you get away from throwing bullpens more. Arms hanging, but I guess not for him. Instead of throwing bullpens, he would do touch and feels, and then it got to the point where chances for us were a little slim, but Still needed to win games. And, you know, we had Fairbanks go back down with some injury and our bullpen was getting kind of beat up. So Sandy said, hey, I'll get out there. I think some of that was just a little accomplishment by himself. I think getting his work in the game was helpful to him. And I think he just wanted to help the team win however he could. 00:15:44 Speaker 2: Being not far off the injury that he was, you know, he had Tommy John surgery a year and a half or whatever it was. How. 00:15:53 Speaker 2: How did you guys react when you saw him go down to the bullpen or you heard he was going to go to the bullpen? Was the first reaction like Sandy, like don't hurt yourself. Or was it like, dang it, Tyler, why am I not doing something like this? 00:16:09 Speaker 6: Um, so if you saw how Sandy does his work in between outings, you would, you would be pretty confident with him going down there, especially having conversations with

him. Um, So I don't think it was too much of a shock for us that he was going out there. Although the first time he did it, I forgot that he pitched the first game of a three-game set. So that one made me feel a little bad because they did ask me to go. But I had thrown a bullpen that day. I think for a lot of us, it was just, hey, you want to get your work in the game and you want to help us win however we could. I think the day that it was Sandy's first save, they asked me if I wanted to go back uh in the eighth inning and like i said i just threw a bullpen that day so or the day before so arm wasn't really feeling up to it but we had those conversations just trying to get our work in game and uh see how it went i mean i know sandy did it yuri did it jansen junk did it uh me and gusto we both came out of the bullpen at some point throughout the year so it wasn't too far-fetched for us to to do it again um but i do think for me it was just the workloads are different. Uh, the high stress pitches out of the bullpen, especially for me, I like to, I get a little animated out there. So, uh, I wasn't too eager to do it, but Sandy, he was Sandy, the different breed, man. They call him the caballo for a reason. And that guy, he's a workhorse and he, he does all his work in between outings to be able to do that. 00:17:35 Speaker 4: Tyler, hold on before I ask you my next question. Uh, they asked him to do it or he told them because the reports were that he had told them he wanted to do this. So was it an ask or was it Sandy saying, I want to do this? 00:17:48 Speaker 3: Well, I think Sandy, Sandy wanted to do it. 00:17:51 Speaker 6: He, I think we had some games where we would go pretty deep through the bullpen. Um, starters would go shorter and he would just go and come in. It was during the D-back series. He, I remember he came in and, uh, I think we had an extra inning game the day before and he walked in. And so I heard he, he walked in and said, Hey, I want to, I want to throw it today if. 00:18:09 Speaker 3: It's a safe scenario. 00:18:11 Speaker 6: So, um, With a lot of us, there was that conversation where it was like, hey, would you be up to this? And they wouldn't be mad if we said no or if we said yes. But Sandy, I mean, he makes calls for his own career at this point. He's been doing it for a long time. He's earned that respect. 00:18:29 Speaker 2: Do you think the game's gotten too soft? We're talking about a pitcher who's one of the most respected pitchers. He's a gamer. He throws a ton of innings. The game's gotten too soft in the sense of, okay, guys, throw less, throw less, and we have more injuries. Do you think the answer is closer to what Sandy's doing? Not for everybody. It's not one size fits all, but do you think guys need to throw more and we're babying pitchers too much and getting, and they're getting hurt more often once they are pushed a little bit? 00:19:02 Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, honestly, I think you can look at it from any,

any perspective there. Um, I like to view it from an old-school type perspective, and I know Sandy's the same way. The more you throw, you acclimate your arm to it. However many innings you threw the year before, you try to push that limit. I like to look back at the Bob Gibsons and the Pedro Martinez, guys like that. They threw a ton, and they never seem to get hurt as long as you take care of your business in between. If you're asking about the bullpen in between, I think that's just a preference. 00:19:34 Speaker 3: I think in our AAA. 00:19:36 Speaker 6: I think they were experimenting with that a little bit, trying to get some bullpens in game instead of doing it in between two outings. It seemed like a wasted pitcher where you could just put a starter out there get one inning out of them granted it goes the right way and you throw like a 15 pitcher less inning but uh if you ask me i'd prefer to just throw more just keep pushing the envelope see what you can get uh listen to your body communicate with your trainers communicate with the coaching staff and um Yeah, I don't know if I would call it soft. I mean, everybody's got their opinions. But I would like to push the limit and get back to that old school style of pitching where guys are going deep in the games and they're going 200 innings a year. I know you don't really see that very often anymore. There's a few guys now that do it, but I feel like there's not that. 00:20:28 Speaker 3: Many guys that get over 200 at this point. 00:20:30 Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. 00:20:33 Speaker 4: Hey Tyler, you, you pitched him the relief, right? Early in the season, you were coming in, you were the guy that was all crazy. We're like, man, this guy's crazy, right? Doing all your stuff. But then you became a starting pitcher. So can you explain to people the difference in prep work for being a starter first being a reliever and then how Sandy goes from starter back to reliever? Cause it is different prep, right? 00:20:57 Speaker 3: Uh, yeah. 00:20:57 Speaker 6: I mean, like I said, everyone's, everyone's different. They all got their own things. Um, I guess as a reliever, there's a chance that you throw every day, right? So you have to have your body ready every day. And that's where that communication thing comes back in where I'll have my trainer with us. 00:21:15 Speaker 3: It was Victor. 00:21:17 Speaker 6: He would work with me every day and we would just tap in, check in. We had this machine called the newbie. It would, it would basically just scan my body and see where I'm sore, see where I have some muscle tightness or inflammation or whatever. 00:21:29 Speaker 3: And, Uh, that would help me get through. 00:21:31 Speaker 6: Um, from the lifting standpoint, you would be going two times a week, maybe three. Uh, there'll be a little bit lighter, lighter, total bodies starter, a little different. And you have to get your conditioning in there. Um, and that's where like creativity comes into play too. Uh, my

let's say me for example my knees were not feeling good as the season went on and uh running was not cooperating with me so hopped in our treadmill pool and started doing some pool workouts trying to just stay conditioned for that because you are going more than two to three innings as a starter at least hopefully um so yeah just to be able to withstand those longer stretches of throwing you have to be conditioned for your body and as a reliever you might have to throw every day. 00:22:15 Speaker 2: So you don't want to be. 00:22:15 Speaker 6: Sore or tired or fatigued, whatever you want to call it. And then on the other side of that, you got the mental side of the game, too, that I like to take a lot of pride in. When I was a reliever, yeah, you're right. I was doing the crazy bit. That's something I believe that worked for me as a starter. it might work for like two innings, but it does get a little exhausting trying to just be angry and whatever I was doing for, for the whole game. I would still tap into things. 00:22:42 Speaker 3: I had my tool belt. 00:22:43 Speaker 6: That's what we would talk about a lot where if I had to take the anger out because an outing didn't feel right, I would go and get that. And if I had to go back to a more level headed side and focus on breathing more, we'd go into that. 00:22:55 Speaker 3: But reliever, I feel like. 00:22:59 Speaker 6: Maybe it's just like the fan and me are just watching some, some like demons back in the day, but like, I feel like you want to just have that little anger to you, that little, like, it's personal. I'm coming out for one inning. I'm going to, I'm going to blow doors off, you know? So I think that's just like the two big differences there. Um, it's just taking care of your body a little bit more, uh, in different ways. 00:23:18 Speaker 4: Um, reliever. 00:23:19 Speaker 6: So it's a shorter stretch and starting, you got five days to prepare for it. So you have to have your routine set pretty strong. 00:23:27 Speaker 2: When you run in the treadmill pool, do you have duckies or do you have floaties on your arms just in case? 00:23:35 Speaker 6: Um, I actually had a, I had an exercise band around my waist and, uh, Victor, my trainer was holding it behind me. So I couldn't go forward. Uh, we'd have the jets going. So I would just be going through all the, all the different strokes that I could think of. And then I would do a couple of breath holds underwater and, uh, I would try to push the limit. I think the longest I held my breath was a minute and 47 seconds. 00:23:59 Speaker 3: That was my record. 00:24:01 Speaker 6: So I was trying to get the two minutes, just see how fast I can get the heart rate down and see how fast I can catch my breath, but not huffing and puffing because, you know. 00:24:09 Speaker 3: On the mound, it doesn't seem like a lot of work, but it is a lot of work. 00:24:12 Speaker 6: And when you have to cover first and then get back on the mound, you got 12 seconds to throw a pitch and you're waiting for your catcher to call the pitch. 00:24:20 Speaker 3: Sometimes you might not catch your breath. 00:24:23 Speaker 2: All right. You're a competitive guy. Confirmed? 00:24:25 Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah. Yeah. 00:24:28 Speaker 2: Okay. MLB proposed... picking your own opponent for the playoffs after the higher seed gets to pick who they want to play. You like, you don't like, what's the positive and negative that you see happening? Because we said we wanted that smoke because it could create a lot of intrigue and storytelling. 00:24:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see that pop up on my phone one day. Yeah, I. 00:24:58 Speaker 6: Mean... Eventually, if you're going deep in the playoffs, you're going to have to play one of those higher seed teams anyway. 00:25:06 Speaker 3: So do I necessarily think it makes that much of a difference? I'm not sure. 00:25:11 Speaker 6: I'm not going to sit here and say I don't like it. But yeah, I mean, I do see that how that could be a little intriguing. If like a lower market team comes in or a team that doesn't necessarily have the best record. But, you know, I've seen guys talk about it like, regular season is regular season and you get to the playoffs it's it's completely different like it's just getting there is what matters and uh baseball becomes a whole different animal in that moment i've never been there um honestly i don't there's only a handful of guys on my team right now that have been there and uh they could attest to that more than me but um you know it might not be bad to just get the tough one out of the way you know like maybe it goes your way maybe it doesn't but I don't really know how to answer that one. I saw that pop up. 00:26:00 Speaker 3: I don't know. 00:26:03 Speaker 6: Eventually, you're going to have to play that team if you're going that deep into the playoffs anyway. 00:26:08 Speaker 3: It doesn't bother me. 00:26:11 Speaker 4: Tyler, you want all that smoke, by the way. Pick the team. You get to start. They pick you. Let's say the Dodgers are like, we want to play the Marlins. You guys beat them. You know you'd be talking some trash. It's fine. It's human nature. By the way, also, Talk about guys being out of shape. I'm going to teach you a trick that I learned this year from watching a team that's still alive. There's a guy that pitches the ninth inning for one of these two teams. He runs in from the bullpen. He's huffing and puffing. Every time he gets out of breath, he has to cover first. He changes like four balls. Watch. I'm not going to say his name. He might have the same first name as you. But every time he runs in, like from the bull, he like stops and he gets checked from the umpire. And he's like, please check me longer. 00:26:52 Speaker 2: Right. 00:26:53 Speaker 4: And then if he has to cover first, watch tonight in the game. if he has to get checked at first, Contreras will throw like four balls out. The pitcher will be like, Oh man,

this ball. So note to self and resets the clock when you throw the ball out. So just so you know, if you're out of breath, just timeout. I need to throw the ball out. 00:27:14 Speaker 6: I have witnessed that one firsthand. People have told me that I just, it never, it never comes into my head because I, I just want to go, go, go. You know, when I'm on the mound, like I'm, I'll have something in my head or like a good cue, a good feel that I'm, that I'm dealing with on that day. And I don't want to take a break or maybe I like the ball or something. I'm like, man, I really like this one, but actually. 00:27:36 Speaker 3: That's not true. Cause I don't really like a lot of the balls these days, but. 00:27:41 Speaker 4: Sorry, by the way, I got the name wrong. 00:27:43 Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I apologize. 00:27:44 Speaker 4: They have, there's a brothers, there's two brothers. You'll figure it out. 00:27:47 Speaker 3: There are brothers. 00:27:48 Speaker 2: It's Trevor, not Tyler. 00:27:49 Speaker 4: I apologize. But, yes, you knew who I was talking about, so I apologize. 00:27:53 Speaker 3: I knew. I've seen him do it. I've seen him do it. Yes, it's so awesome. 00:27:57 Speaker 2: I love it. 00:27:57 Speaker 3: You do what you got to do. 00:27:59 Speaker 4: He comes in, and I think he does have a little bit of a breathing asthma kind of thing, so he does have an inhaler, but it's so awesome. If you watch him pitch, if he gets in the ninth inning tonight, just watch how many balls he throws out. Especially if he has to back up a base or covering, it is awesome. It is like the best move ever. And Contreras is like– Contreras would be like– And Catriona's going to be like, let me waste a couple seconds. Oh, let me get a new ball. 00:28:25 Speaker 2: It's awesome. 00:28:25 Speaker 4: I love it. 00:28:26 Speaker 3: Dude, it's tiring covering first. I know it's not that hard, but if you're working hard, you get over there. Maybe it's someone fast on the base. It's usually someone. 00:28:34 Speaker 4: Fast on the base, Matt. 00:28:37 Speaker 6: Like the power hitters, they're just going to do the nice little trot. But usually I'll get some guy who's just like– like look at Chandler Simpson, for example. 00:28:44 Speaker 3: That'll be like the guy that I got to cover on. I'm like, oh, no. You got to get over there quick, man. 00:28:50 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's an all-out sprint to beat him if you're going to get there. That's the dude who gets the most infield hits. Well, Tyler, it was fun, man. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the rest of the offseason here and you get the right dose of playoff watching, right? That makes the significant other happy but also doesn't make you want to run through the wall. You get that balance that you need. 00:29:14 Speaker 3: I'm going to do it. 00:29:16 Speaker 6: I'm going to end up having to hop on MLB The Show or something with my boy and just run a little co-op World Series. 00:29:21 Speaker 5: I don't know. 00:29:22 Speaker 3: I got to get my baseball itch, and I can't watch it. 00:29:25 Speaker 5: That's what people love, though. People love to hear that. 00:29:27 Speaker 3: Pound Territory. 00:29:29 Speaker 2: Pound Territory. One to three every day. 00:29:30 Speaker 3: There you go. 00:29:31 Speaker 2: Tomorrow, we're on four to six, so you can watch us. 00:29:34 Speaker 5: Yeah, he needs the adrenaline rush, though, right? 00:29:37 Speaker 3: I'll probably be making dinner. 00:29:38 Speaker 1: So yeah there you go um well good stuff dude appreciate the time we'll talk 00:29:43 Speaker 3: Soon okay all right appreciate you guys
