00:02:49.680 --> 00:03:05.680 It's like in the NFL training camp where all the players have the blank helmets uh to start training camp, and the coaches are always like, Oh, you gotta earn your your your star for the cowboys, you gotta earn your logo for whatever team, so you gotta earn your your cowboy hat. 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.599 I gotta I gotta go get a get a lasso and a and a horse and go ranch a little bit, I guess. 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.439 How did you guys decide on Austin? 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.879 Out of curiosity. 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:17.840 Of course. 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:24.800 Um, so we have we have kind of like three or four options right now for us that we think are like beneficial. 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.400 Um, so we have Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado. 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.680 And so we kind of had a tier list of what we want. 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:39.360 We've lived in Arizona, we've lived in Florida, we've lived in Colorado, and we've never lived in Texas. 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.560 And so Haley's best friends and her family live here. 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.439 So we have kind of some tight-knit connections. 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.520 And so we were like, you know what, we don't really have any ties. 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.919 The nice part is Texas is right in the middle of everything, so travel's very easy. 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.280 And so we were like, you know, let's move to Texas. 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.879 And it's warm in the in the winters sometimes. 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.039 Sometimes it gets cold, but it's warm in the winters. 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:10.080 Yeah, it's warm in the winters, and so we're kind of chasing, chasing the cold and chasing the rain, and came down here, and that's kind of how we decided. 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.879 We've spent a lot of time here, so we kind of know our way around. 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:13.520 Yeah. 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.600 But we're interested in kind of getting more time. 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.319 To see if you like it. 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:21.600 Yeah, to see if we like it. 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.399 That's pretty much it. 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.720 So we'll see if we like it, see what areas we like. 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.519 And you know, the nice part is we have friends in Houston. 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.800 We have, of course, uh the former jumbo shrimps, the Dane Myers, Tristan Gray. 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.160 We got those guys in Houston. 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.079 We have new friends up in Dallas. 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.519 Um, I know old jumbo shrimp, Colton Hawk used to live in Dallas. 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.480 Now he moved, I think, to Franklin, Tennessee or something like that. 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.839 A little closer to family. 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.519 But he used to live in Dallas. 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.879 And so there's lots of lots of different connections all throughout Texas. 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.600 Awesome guy, by the way, uh, Colton Hawk, which is really cool. 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.680 Um, that's awesome. 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.959 And like for those who maybe are wondering, okay, you do a move. 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.279 What is like the baseball activity right now, if anything? 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.360 Is are you doing anything baseball related? 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.879 Are you even watching the playoffs? 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:12.639 Like, what's going on for you there? 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.240 Oh, great question on that. 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:24.240 So I have zero baseball activity right now because I'm I'm the kind of person that I don't need to like get back in the gym right away and like focus on things. 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:30.399 Like, I'll evaluate and I'll look at video and I'll like say, all right, I'll get myself a plan and be like, what do I really want to work on? 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:39.040 Um, I we have some things that I worked with was the coaches that you know are not even hitting a baseball, not even throwing a baseball, not even doing anything like that. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.720 Like it's just more so like training to be an athlete. 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.279 Um, but I'm not gonna start that until probably November when I get back from my vacation. 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.959 But watching the playoffs, so it's funny. 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:59.279 Haley came across a TikTok that was asking, was like, do MLB players like actually watch the playoffs? 00:05:59.360 --> 00:05:59.839 Do they care? 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.600 Are they like, uh, just shut it out? 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:09.519 And Haley laughed and responded and was like, No, my husband is more engaged in the playoffs than he is during the season. 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:17.600 Because for me, if you hear the announcers, you watch the crowds, you see the emotions on the player.

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.439 Like we're we're watching former Jumbo Shrimp, you know, Victor Mesa Jr. 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:32.879 Yeah, you know, playing for the race and his emotion and how much it means, every pitch, every hit, the bunt, and how much an air, you know, makes or breaks a game. 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.560 That emotion is you just don't get that during the regular season. 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:46.160 And you know, that's why MLB wants to kind of give more playoff games, is because you get that emotion, you get that excitement, you get all the fans riled up, all the kind, you know. 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.920 Um, I was watching the Padres game. 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.800 I had to go to bed because I didn't, it was a little late for me. 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.639 And I didn't who won last night, Padres. 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:54.560 Padres, they are still alive. 00:06:55.279 --> 00:07:06.319 Padres are still alive, but they talked about how they had the they're almost there were 60 people short of setting the record for Petco Park attendance. 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.319 They were like 49,000, 46,000, something, something, something. 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.360 And I was like, wow, like that's how many people are showing up. 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:19.439 And yes, Petco Park usually sells out on the weekends anyways, but they're closer to like you know, 42,000, 43. 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:25.519 This was like fully standing room only, no seats available, no like nothing. 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.920 And so that excitement around playoff baseball is really what I love. 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.600 So what about you? 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.879 Do you watch playoff baseball? 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:33.279 Do you care? 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.720 Oh, I guess yeah, I absolutely love it. 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.759 I mean, we're not playing. 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:46.160 I know that baseball is done after this, and I would watch baseball every single day. 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.519 So this is it, right? 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:48.720 I have to watch these games. 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:51.920 So we're recording this on Wednesday, October 7th. 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.199 There's four games today. 00:07:54.399 --> 00:08:03.360 And I have a plan of how I'm going to I don't want to say watch because I'm not going to watch every game, but how I will at least follow all of them. 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:09.279 And the reason I say follow is because the first game is Cleveland versus the Chicago White Sox. 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.560 And that is a game I will not watch. 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:22.959 And the reason for that is the radio broadcasters for both of those teams, but in particular for Cleveland, I think Tom Hamilton is literally as good as it gets. 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.160 And obviously, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer. 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.600 He is amazing. 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.000 And so that game I will listen to. 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:35.360 Part of it, it helps that it's during the workday, it'll be during the commute home. 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:42.480 And then it's like I could listen to Tom Hamilton as I watch Dodgers Braves, which is such an interesting series. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.639 The Dodgers are incredible. 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.360 Rage Yankees has really not been that interesting. 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.759 That's the eight o'clock Eastern game tonight. 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.919 And the Rays have a chance to sweep the Yankees. 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.480 The Yankees just to me feel punchless without Aaron Judge. 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.919 And it kind of felt like that way even last year with Aaron Judge. 00:08:58.000 --> 00:08:59.519 It was like he's so great. 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.240 And the rest of their lineup, I don't know. 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.200 I just don't really like that team all that much beyond Aaron Judge on the offensive side, position player side. 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.720 But the Brewers Padres is as good as it gets, and it pains me. 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.240 Like you just said you had to go to bed. 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:15.840 You're in the central time zone. 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:28.639 So welcome out of the West Coast and the mountain time zone, but the eastern and the central time zones, that is a killer to have those games on so late because they have been amazing and the crowds have been incredible in both places. 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.720 We knew it was going to be like that in San Diego. 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.399 Their fan base is awesome. 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.720 Milwaukee has been awesome too. 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.039 So I wish that that game was a little bit earlier. 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:40.399 That's just my one thing is I my kids wake up at like 5:30. 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.080 I just can't stay up that late. 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:42.879 I wouldn't survive. 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.799 Yeah, you get two hours of sleep. 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.919 Yeah, I had to pick and choose when I stay up, and I had to do that later on in the playoffs. 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.039 That is such an interesting take. 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.559 I would have, and so again, this is my perspective, your perspective. 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.080 That's why we work so well together. 00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.360 We're very different in what we like, I guess, about baseball, but you want to listen to the game. 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.120 I want to listen to the game because of the rate. 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:14.000 Yeah, because of the I would have not thought about that because I like to watch the game, to watch, because I tell people this, they're like, oh my goodness, you must love baseball. 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.120 You must know everything about it. 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.039 I'm like, no, I really

don't. 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.799 I'm I've you know, I make fun of this. 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:27.440 I never claim to know baseball, and I don't know people, I don't know like old players, I don't know new players, I don't know teams, like stuff like that. 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.639 I love like the physics of the swing. 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:38.240 I love like the the intent, I love the approach, I love how deep how the defenses shift, how they play, how they pitch. 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.200 You know, I love the intricacies of the game. 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.879 And so it's interesting. 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:50.399 You listen to the game because you like the broadcaster and you enjoy listening to how it's said, how the story is told, because of course every game is a story. 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:59.759 I watch the game to be like, I my favorite part is when somebody gets a hit, hits a home run, does something, and they give the side view and they like slow-mo side view it. 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.559 And that's like where I'm like, hold on, wait, I want to watch that part. 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:03.759 Rewind, we're line. 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.639 Let me see the side view, let me see what he's doing, how he's moving, you know, where was his contact point, all this kind of stuff. 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.360 And so that's what I really like watching. 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:20.320 And it, I could care less who like, you know, gets a hit, this at that, or does this, but I want to watch how they did it, how they prepared. 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.159 You know, how are they swinging it right now? 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.440 Are they coming up? 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.879 Do they have the pitching matchup to match this guy? 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.000 Why do they do that? 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:29.279 You know, that kind of stuff. 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:42.399 That's where that's where I think it's so cool in playoff baseball because I also saw a statistic that batting averages, OPS, and total offense actually goes down in the playoffs. 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:42.720 Yeah. 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.879 Era, stuff, you know, different, different things like that. 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.720 Pitching metrics goes, or not metrics, pitching stats go up. 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.440 And it's because of those matchups, it's because of the pressure, it's because of all those things. 00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:01.759 And I think that's so interesting to watch a guy like Jackson Curio, who, of course, um, I think did he skip? 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.879 No, we played him. 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:03.600 We played Nashville. 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.240 He was in triple A for literally a week. 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.919 We played him at the end of the season. 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.000 And we played him in Nashville, I believe. 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:32.080 And so to watch a guy like that, who of course I was playing against

in 22 quite a bit, to go up and have the success he did, you know, the the swing he had against uh Robbie Ray, the swing he had against Mason Miller, like that the biggest stars shine on those kind of stages because they're prepared, because they they they know their plan, they've seen these guys, they know what to do. 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.279 And that's what I think is the most intriguing about the playoff baseball. 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:44.240 Because it's not like you know, your normal day, you know, you pick up you know your phone and you check the stats, and oh, Jackson Cheerio's one for four with a single, you know, today, or this kind of stuff. 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:49.759 He's like, no, Jackson Cheerio is one for four with a single in the playoff game with two RBIs. 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.919 Like that's crazy. 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:57.360 Like that's on that's where the playoffs really like attract people, and especially a guy like me. 00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.639 And the moment, right? 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:14.639 The the way that that at bat went with Mason Miller in particular, where it was like he's throwing 104 miles per hour, and Chirio fell behind, and he spit in a slider that was like not that far away from being a strike, and he had barely gotten a piece of a fastball. 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:22.720 Like the the process of seeing him figure out Mason Miller to me was incredible. 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:38.240 Obviously, the the moment after that and the fans going crazy was really cool, but the process of figuring out the in my opinion, and you and you've seen Mason Miller quite a bit this year, he's the most unhittable pitcher in the game, arguably. 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:48.720 And to watch like a almost like a little kid, Jackson Cherrio figure out step by step and get to where he did to line that ball up the middle, I thought was incredible. 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:49.039 Yep. 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:50.080 I thought it was too. 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:59.279 I mean, you want you talk about the the fastball he spoiled on the outer half on that you know outside corner that he just barely nicked, and it was like, oh, he just missed that. 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:04.320 Then you know, slider away, then he missed over the plate, and that's where it got him. 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.440 And Scott, by the way, you know, you talk about the most unhittable pitcher in baseball. 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.200 You know, I'll send you my single off of him. 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.000 I'll send you a picture. 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.200 You have a hit off Mason Miller. 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:11.600 I do. 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.720 I have a hit off Mason Miller. 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.200 My very first time facing him, very first pitch. 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.399 He went fastball up and in, and I like shot a single to left field. 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:23.279 So you were is that what you were presumably you were just like, I'm just gonna gear up for this and just absolutely. 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.720 I mean he's throwing 104. 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:25.039 Yeah. 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:25.919 Yeah, absolutely. 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:35.600 I'm looking for anything close, anything to anything, anything close to me, because away, you know, it's gonna kind of like move away a little bit more because it's kind of like that when he throws it. 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.399 So I need something in because it's gonna stay straight. 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:44.799 The the guy who I am so impressed with, there's a lot of great pitchers. 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.039 Like you said, the the playoffs, the offense, it's just really hard. 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:59.759 You're facing ace-level pitching, they only go for the most part five or six innings, and every single guy out of the bullpen is not that far worse than Mason Miller in terms of stuff. 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.840 So I don't know, I don't know how you guys hit. 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:07.519 But the guy who is so impressive to me, Yoshi Yamamoto, that guy's amazing. 00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:08.720 He's amazing. 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.799 He's amazing, he is truly amazing. 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:16.639 And the fact that he kind of really didn't pitch much during the regular season and then just gears up for the playoffs. 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.159 I wonder if that's their plan a little bit. 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.799 They're like, we're so deep in pitching, and like honestly, we're gonna pitch you, you know, take your breaks, take what you need, be fully healthy. 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.799 We're only playing you for the playoffs, pretty much. 00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.600 We're we're gonna absolutely abuse you for the playoffs because that's what you we did last year, that's what you did. 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:31.919 Great. 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.279 You won, you know, kind of one of them a World Series in a sense. 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:35.759 He did. 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:40.720 He absolutely and like, you know, maybe they're just saving him for that. 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.399 You say he didn't pitch a ton, he still made 28 starts. 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:52.559 I know in the uh in the regular season, 185 innings, which is not that far, believe it or not, from the league lead. 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.559 A 2.53 ERA. 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.279 So I guess I must have dodged him. 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.360 So when we were playing them, we never saw him. 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:07.279 We saw we saw Snell, we saw Shohei, we saw Lara, no, not Lara. 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.000 Lefty. 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:09.600 We saw Lefty twice. 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:16.320 Um I think we saw Scooball too, and trying to think who else. 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.679 And Roki Sasaki. 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.799 We saw Roki quite a bit. 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.039 We never we never saw Yamamoto though.

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.120 Oh, and um Glass now. 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:24.960 Yeah, we saw Glasnow. 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.679 And Robles now. 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:31.360 Now that you want to talk about we saw Robleski twice, um, and then Sheehan twice. 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.559 Who I it's so crazy to me that Shee-Han would get sent down like that. 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.879 I understand, I understand baseball, I get it. 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:43.600 I I totally I I understand their rotation. 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.039 It's it's does it's not a surprise to me. 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:54.240 I'm sorry, it's not it's not surprising that they would send him down, but he's an ace level pitcher on any other team. 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:55.039 It's crazy. 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.080 He's unbelievable. 00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.480 He was he truly had his stuff. 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.759 I mean, he had this ride 95, 96 fastball, he had three different sliders coming into you. 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.519 You get two different change ups. 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.640 Like, it was absolutely incredible to stand in the box against. 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.000 And I was like, I was like, you're sending this guy down because he's your worst pitch. 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.119 Oh, who do you have bringing up? 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.160 Oh, wait, Tyler Glass now's coming back, or Blake Snell's coming back. 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.200 And I'm like, oh, all right, that okay, that makes sense. 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:26.400 Yoshi Yoshi uh Yamamoto is the Dodgers' third starter. 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.359 He's the Dodgers, like that is absolutely insane. 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.000 Also, there was a great story I read today by Katie Woo of The Athletic about him. 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:47.200 And when Dave Roberts told Scoobl that Scoobyl is going to be the game one starter for the Dodgers, Scoobyl was like, Are you sure we have Yoshinobu Yamamoto? 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.880 Like, I why do you want me? 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:55.440 And it's like, that's the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner, and that is the way that they look at Yamamoto. 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.720 And he's a third starter, and he had two and a half ERA. 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:02.640 I mean, you can make a case that they maybe lined up Yamamoto because he's so good. 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:13.839 That they figured, like, maybe if we have him do game basically, they have it lined up that he would start game two and game six of the NLCS should they get there. 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.799 Um, and then that that would obviously line him up to potentially make three starts in the World Series. 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.759 So they they might be thinking deeper like that. 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.759 But yeah, Sheehan, we saw when I was at the Marlins and they played the Dodgers. 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:34.480 Uh, he started the last game of the series, and that guy again is your sixth starter or whatever it is. 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:36.720 It's the depth they have is incredible. 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.680 It's it's amazing. 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.480 It's absolutely amazing. 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.880 And it's crazy to me to think that they will so that we had it, we had a game. 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.359 We weren't winning this game, but um, I think it was like 14 to 2 or something like that. 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.000 And they don't really have, in my mind, they don't really have like a long guy, if that makes sense. 00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:01.039 Like every team has like a long guy, like you know, starter only goes three innings, four innings, then you got this long guy that comes in and he's like three to four innings, three to five, something like that. 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.680 And the Dodgers don't really have that. 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:11.920 They expect their starters to go five every time, then they have their bullpen that's set up per inning, per inning, per guy, whatever you want to call it, and they have that set up. 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.720 And then if they're like, eh, we're running out of our guys, we're just gonna throw a position player because we're either up by a bunch or it's like, nah, whatever. 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:24.640 Like, it's it's crazy to me that they don't, I don't really think they have a long guy per se. 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.000 And that's where Sheehan would like fit into that. 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:35.200 But do they really need to fit into that when you have, you know, how many ever how many Cy Young's in on one team, you know? 00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:41.200 You expect your starter to go five or six, and they're gonna, you know, put up two or three, they're gonna maybe put up two or three runs. 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.599 That's it. 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.519 Yeah, and their bullpen is also insane. 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.079 Correct. 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:44.880 It's insane. 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.400 Yeah, yes, it is. 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:57.119 All right, outside of the Dodgers, are there guys you're like, man, I love watching so-and-so pitch. 00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.359 I love watching so-and-so hit. 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.559 Like, who are the people you're really watching for throughout the playoffs here? 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:09.039 So sneakily, I love how his career took a turn. 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:16.160 And of course, he's a left-handed first baseman or left-handed bat first baseman, but Jake Bowers for the Brewers. 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.640 He is truly, truly unbelievable this season. 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:25.359 I love watching his moves, I love the way that he swings, I love his approach, I love all that. 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:29.519 It's tough because I know how good the San Diego Padres pitching is as well. 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:34.319 You I mean, you talk about you talk about the

Dodgers pitching, the Padres are better. 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.279 The Padres are, I will, this is a hill I will die on. 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.799 In 2026, the Padres pitchers were better than the Dodgers. 00:20:41.200 --> 00:21:05.759 And it's interesting to watch how you know these Brewers hitters are really going about because you know, if I want to talk about like a team that I feel like fits my gameplay more than anything, I'm you know, I'm a little I'm a little slower than average, but they they run well, they put the ball in play, they bunt, they move guys over, they hit well with runners in scoring position. 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.960 You know, you talk about the Brewers lineup, they are unbelievable. 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.079 They are truly, truly an unbelievable team. 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:12.799 Up and down. 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.599 Like there's nobody taking up, there's nobody taking in that bat off. 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:25.200 There's nobody, you know, it's the big leagues and it's the playoffs, but there's not a single guy you can just be like, uh, you know, I'll just throw him a couple fastballs, maybe a couple sliders, and you know, we'll get him to we'll get him to chase. 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.200 It's like, no, these guys don't chase. 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:31.440 They have great plans, they put the ball in play, they force you to make outs. 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:42.000 Like, if you want to say, like, theoretically, like after that horrendous game by the Yankees, like you want to put the the Brewers and the Yankees against each other in the World Series. 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.400 I don't think the Yankees get out of the first four games. 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.000 I think it's a full sweep. 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:53.759 But just because you have to be so good defensively against the Brewers, because that's what they do, they put the ball in play and they put together good at bats. 00:21:53.920 --> 00:22:04.240 And so not only that, they got great pitching behind it, and they got young, controllable pitching, but Though that's Jake Bowers is one of the guys I'm I love watching this move. 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:05.680 I love watching this swing. 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:13.680 If I can have my dream is to have a either White Sox Rays Brewers World Series. 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:16.000 So, like what, you know, two of those three teams. 00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:21.599 I would want two of those three teams because I think that would just be, and I understand that maybe baseball doesn't want that. 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:24.640 You know, they want the the big dogs, they want Dodgers Yankees. 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.680 You know, they both used to be in in you know New York. 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.880 They both both used to you know play against each other, you know, all this kind of stuff. 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.640 They they want the Dodgers Yankees. 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:47.599 And I know you know MLB wants the Dodgers Yankees, but as a fan of baseball, as people as somebody that's like played against all these teams, I want the teams that are scrappy, the teams that are like, hey, we don't need just one three-run home run to win a game. 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:55.119 Like, you're gonna have to play us for nine whole innings and maybe even ten to try to beat us because we are not gonna go away. 00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:04.880 And that's what I think is like the most ex that's the most exciting part about some of the these um these younger teams, these other teams, other than you know, the your your big dogs. 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:15.440 In a game that it seems like it has to be all about the home run now, the Milwaukee Brewers tied for the second fewest home runs in all of baseball as a team. 00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.599 They had the highest ground ball rate as a team. 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:25.680 And this is what I think is really interesting, the highest opposite field rate of any team. 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.480 What do you make of that? 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:36.960 It's it's obviously putting the ball in play, but when everyone's trying to hit for more power, they're hitting more ground balls and going the opposite way than anybody. 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.640 What do you make of that? 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:41.519 I think that's their personnel on who they brought in. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:49.519 I think they the thing that I really enjoy about the Brewers is they put guys in situations to succeed. 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.920 And, you know, they do what everybody else does. 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.319 They do platoons, they do different lineups based on who's pitching that day, all this kind of stuff. 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.799 They'll they'll pinch hit, they'll do all these different kinds of things. 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.839 But I don't think they go in and they're like, hey, we got you and we've developed you. 00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.039 We want you to change. 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:12.880 We want you to all of a sudden become, you know, you know, they're not gonna go and ask Garrett Mitchell, who is one of the fastest people in Major League Baseball. 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:19.359 They're like, hey, we want you to hit the ball in the air more because, you know, you'll and we're gonna want you to hit it pull side in the air, and that's it. 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.759 Like, Garrett Mitchell can hit a ball over the Schwarztop's head and probably have a triple. 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.319 Like if it gets past the outfielders, it's gonna be a triple. 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:31.359 Like you don't need to hit a home run because you can do it with your legs. 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:37.200 You know, you look at a guy like Sal Freelick, he's gonna, he's gonna bunt, he's gonna move the runner, he's gonna do all these kind of things. 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:45.680 And, you know, we played against Sal quite a bit with

the jumbo shrimp, and we saw how dangerous he was as a leadoff hitter, is like if he got on, it was almost an automatic triple. 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.960 You know, he'd steal second. 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:53.119 Oh, you know, uh booted ball, you know, pass ball, you know, he'll steal third, whatever it is, he's gonna get the third. 00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.079 And so you build a team around guys like that. 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:07.839 You got, you know, Wilson Contreras, you have a Jake Bowers, you have a Jackson Churio, you have, I'm trying to think, you have a leader like Christian Yelich in that clubhouse. 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.920 I mean, to back it up, of course, their pitching side. 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:11.359 I'm I'm an offensive guy. 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:17.440 I I look at lineups more than I do pitching, but um you have all those guys in that lineup. 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.599 Like you can mix and match and do so many different things. 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:25.119 And you've got that young guys, you've got Pratt, and I'm leaving out probably their most talented player, but Bryce Tarang. 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.200 I was gonna say that guy's unbelievable. 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:28.720 I he's unbelievable. 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:34.319 And so you mix and match all that together, and now all of a sudden you have a championship team. 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.559 Yeah, and you have the team that can win, not just you know, win because of the long ball. 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:44.160 You have a team that doesn't have any quit, has the emotion, has the drive, and can win. 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:49.359 Of that position player group, by the way, they had one all-star. 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.960 Of the pitcher group, they had one all-star is Mizorowski. 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.839 Yeah, that's great. 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:58.240 Chris Tina won uh 103 games in the regular season. 00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.119 Two all-stars. 00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:08.319 Let me tell you, that's that is what and I love that the fans can vote for all-stars, and I love that it kind of goes into it a little bit. 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.480 But you play on a small market team, you're gonna get small market votes. 00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.839 You play on a big team, there's gonna be more people voting. 00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:20.880 Like that's also the downfall of the all-star voting, I would say. 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:26.640 And kind of like I talked about with the Yankees, uh, Aaron Judge, I think, is the best hitter in the world. 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.599 Um obviously he's not healthy right now. 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.680 Hopefully, if they if they advance, they have a pretty big mountain to climb over the Rays. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.519 Hopefully, if they advance, he's back for the ALCS. 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:45.599 The Brewer, but the Yankees have so many weaknesses outside of Aaron Judge, right? 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:50.240 Like they are struggling to score a run against the Tampa Bay Rays right now. 00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.640 The Brewers have no weaknesses. 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:57.200 Andrew Vaughn is coming off the bench, he was worth a win and a half. 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:02.160 Uh Joey Ortiz is kind of like uh a starter some of the time. 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.400 He was worth two and a half wins, according to the bigger. 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.839 He is a defensive, he is a defensive wizard. 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.240 Yeah. 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:12.000 David Hamilton is like a really solid bench player. 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.000 Cooper Pratt is a rookie who had a really nice rookie year. 00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:21.200 But if those are your weakest players, they just don't have like you said, one through nine. 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:28.400 Okay, they're not gonna, they don't have a ton of guys who are gonna hit the ball 480 feet, but they just they're relentless. 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.920 There is no easy out there. 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:30.960 It's it's amazing. 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:37.839 And you want to talk about their back end guys, they have a couple guys in the bullpen that are that are unbelievable. 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:43.680 Yeah, but the crazy part is you get a lead and McGill is gonna come in. 00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:48.559 I'd put McGill up there with with Mason Miller, I'd put McGill up there with Brian Baker. 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:49.920 I would do all this kind of stuff. 00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:59.440 I mean, he truly is the rock of that team because yeah, you can start with Mizerowski and he can go eight and all this kind of stuff, but you know, they put up one run. 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:01.519 You bring in McGill, it's over. 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.319 Game's over. 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.319 He yes, he is truly unbelievable. 00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.559 He's up there with some of the best closers. 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:12.240 Aaron Ashby's nasty rebay is is ridiculous. 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.160 We've seen your ebay a lot, yes, yeah, in the gumbo shrimp world. 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.640 And Ashby actually, I remember when Ashby was a starter. 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.039 He was like 96 with that crazy sinker. 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:30.240 I remember when he was a starter, now he's like kind of their mid, mid-long guy, mid couple got a couple innings, and he'll you know, he'll throw that 199-mile-hour sinker. 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:35.599 Chad Patrick is a nice long guy, chance and junk's buddy who does who loves hot dogs. 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.000 Um yeah, uh, I just that team is amazing. 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.720 They're amazing. 00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.319 As we talked about with Rob Sistrizny in January, it's like they just did it again. 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.279 They did it again, and they did it better than ever. 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:51.440 Um I am rooting, I I do I

would love to see the Brewers win. 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:52.640 They've never won. 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:59.359 The team that I want to see the most, I think, would be Cleveland, because they haven't won since 1948. 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.119 It's a great fan base, they've come so close so many times. 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.839 97, 2016. 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.480 They were like literally right there. 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.599 Um San Diego. 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.400 The Brewers it and you never know, right? 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.240 These windows, you you really do never know. 00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:20.880 Like we it seems like the window is open right now for the next couple years minimum. 00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:24.160 You just don't know how these things can go. 00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:32.240 But San Diego has put so much into the bucket, they've run these crazy high payrolls that teams at their market level never do. 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:42.799 And they've got guys who are a little bit older now: Machado and Bogartz and Cronenworth, like these guys on big contracts that probably are not going to age well, and that's the bet that they made. 00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:44.720 Um, and it was probably a good bet, right? 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.279 Like they've they've come really close themselves. 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:52.960 I you almost wonder like how much longer realistically do they have? 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:54.400 Their fan base is awesome. 00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:56.480 The ballpark looks incredible. 00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:59.039 I would love to see San Diego win it all this year. 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:04.880 Because I I just I feel like the Brewers had the the the window open a little bit longer than the Padres do. 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:14.160 And the Padres have have changed what it means to be a small market team because they they put money into that team that nobody ever does at that level. 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:15.119 And I don't know. 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.759 I just feel like the fans have responded in the way and they deserve it. 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:19.440 I would love for the Padres to win. 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.880 That is a bold statement. 00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.160 I didn't even think about it that way. 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:24.240 Yeah, I I agree with you. 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:25.680 I'm not gonna agree with that. 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:34.400 I want the Padres to win because they're in the same division as us, but I I understand what you're saying, and I never thought about it that way. 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:35.920 That's exciting, yeah. 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:41.119 That's that's just a neutral person who doesn't work for the Colorado Rockies. 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:41.920 I can say that. 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.960 That's awesome. 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:47.519 So here's what here's my question, and this is what I wanted to start with. 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:51.920 You know, we're talking about the playoffs and we're talking about you know, all these different big league teams. 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.160 You know, the Jacksonville jumbo shrimp just came off a national championship last year. 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:06.880 And it was funny because they were showing the highlights of it when, you know, I think the AAA national championship was going on, and they were showing highlights of Jacob Barry hitting, you know, the walk-off home run to win the World Series. 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:09.920 Who I, you know, that that is just unbelievable. 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.559 But what do you see for the jumbo shrimp coming up here? 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:20.799 We like give me a little recap of the year this year, and then show me a little bit like what maybe the future looks like and what guys they got coming up that maybe are interesting. 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:30.000 Yeah, I mean, as you know, the the the barometer at this level, they love to win, but ultimately, like, are the players going up and contributing to the big league team? 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:35.680 And it would be really difficult to argue that they're not if you're a Miami Marlins fan. 00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:53.200 Like, I think that people should be really thrilled what they've done the last few years with all these guys who have played here who have gone on to the big leagues and really contributed in a meaningful way, is really cool, I think, for our fan base to see, uh, for me to see as people who know these guys personally. 00:31:53.440 --> 00:32:11.359 So I think for one, I would say, despite the fact this team actually, believe it or not, finished beneath 500, they were at one time 15 games over 500, and then it just from July 4th, they got swept into double header by Nashville, and it just was a downward slope from that point. 00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:14.640 Um, and there's probably a few reasons for that. 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:19.599 That part of the is you're losing your good players to the big leagues, that's how it goes. 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:26.720 But I think that if you follow this team, we were incredibly young. 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:29.200 That's a great sign, you know. 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:36.720 The Marlins continue to make these shrewd trades, they they continue to add really interesting pieces. 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.240 So a ton of those guys this year, they they're drafting really well. 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:46.079 We had a couple guys drafted literally last year who were in triple A this year, playing a ton. 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:47.839 Um, I don't know. 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:49.519 I I think it's a it's a good time. 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.880 The the success wasn't what it was last year when you were here, Troy. 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:54.640 That's what we probably need. 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.720 Some good veteran leadership, but the the talent level is really good. 00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.799 You know, that's

that's a tough thing to say, a veteran in triple A. 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:10.880 I know I know you guys don't want to be here, but the I think that you need veterans to I don't think oh go ahead. 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.920 I'm sorry to say that like this is how we do this. 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.880 Yeah, this is not acceptable, and I don't think we had that this year. 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:17.759 Yeah, that makes sense. 00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:25.200 And I wonder if that's how baseball is kind of moving a little bit too, because I mean teams are getting younger and younger, and you even see it in the big leagues, like teams are getting younger and younger. 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:31.440 But you are right, we had a lot of older guys, some guys that were repeating triple A quite a bit, like on that team. 00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:37.599 And then the guys that were brand new to AAA, they stepped in and they did really well right away, too. 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.400 And it was like it was like I think about that 2025 team. 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:41.359 And yeah, you're right. 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:49.119 There was the perfect mix of like younger guys, older guys, different things like that, that really made the team who they are. 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:50.720 Um that's an interesting rate. 00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:51.519 Yep. 00:33:51.839 --> 00:34:01.039 Albert Almora, John Rooney, Austin Roberts, yourself, like these personalities who knew how to do it the right way. 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:01.599 Yes. 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.920 And um, I think that makes an a difference. 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:08.000 I'm not saying that like your triple-A team should be like Winnet, where it's a lot of older guys. 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:09.920 I don't think that is good for the Marlins. 00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:11.519 I think that's good for the Braves. 00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:19.039 I don't think that's good for the Marlins, but I do think you need that veteran leadership to teach the younger guys for the first time. 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:20.480 Yes, I 100% agree. 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.400 So, what does that look like for the future? 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.440 Like, do you have any like thoughts on what that looks like for the future of the Jumbo Church? 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:32.400 I think I think it's gonna be very similar. 00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.000 I think we're gonna be really young. 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:35.679 We're like the youngest triple A team. 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:36.719 We're very close to it. 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:42.159 Hey Tatum, uh every single every single year. 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.599 And I just think that's gonna continue. 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:48.719 Like we're seeing 2025 draft picks playing with Jacksonville in 2026. 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.599 That's a sign that the Marlins believe in those guys. 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.519 They've earned it, like the guys that we had were really interesting pieces. 00:34:55.920 --> 00:35:08.639 But we're really young, and the Marlins seem to be a lot bolder about promoting people, probably a little bit too late in your case, as you deserved it way before you did. 00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:17.519 But um, yeah, I think that the uh I just think we're gonna be young, and I think that the talent level is gonna be high. 00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:20.159 Will that mean wins? 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:21.199 Not necessarily. 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.400 I think there's an adjustment period with that at this level. 00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:36.320 I think that makes sense because I mean you really think about it, and it's honestly, it is, you know, triple A is that part where like guys develop and guys learn, and you know, you learn different ways to succeed. 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:45.360 And the most important part, which I think nobody talks about, is when you're in AAA and you're in double A and you're not quite in the big leagues, you have to learn how to fail. 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:50.639 There's a lot of guys that like never have failed in their entire life, and then they go fail in the big leagues. 00:35:50.800 --> 00:36:02.239 And good luck trying to fail in the big leagues when you have all this pressure, you know, it's a bigger stage, you have all these different things going on, and you have a little bit of failure in the big leagues, and it's like your world is ending. 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.159 Oh, I'm gonna get sent down, I'm gonna, you know, I'm never gonna make it to the big leagues again, I'm never gonna do all this. 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:11.360 Where it's like, yeah, maybe that is true for some guys that this is their one shot. 00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:20.000 But on the flip side, if you learn how to fail and you learn how to cope with it, your your failures are gonna be smaller and smaller each time. 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:21.440 They're gonna they're gonna be shorter. 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.880 You're gonna learn how to do that. 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.960 And that's kind of what the minor leagues is about. 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:29.679 Like, you know, it's learning how to fail and learning how to succeed and learning how to get out of that. 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.960 And so, like you talk about maybe some guys that had tough years in AAA. 00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:42.079 The best part about it is they're probably going to have success later on because they learned how to fail and they learned how to cope with it. 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:56.559 And now maybe this next year, you know, maybe their slumps are a little smaller, maybe they're they're shorter, maybe they they fix something in their swing, and now all of a sudden now whatever was hindering them the year before is now gonna come back and you know they're gonna jumpstart their whole career again, do something else. 00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:03.280 So, like it's very cool what AAA actually really does have to offer and what the fans get to experience in Jacksonville every day. 00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:05.280 All right, you gotta go be a dad. 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:06.159 Okay. 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:10.880 It was uh it was a lot of fun to catch up. 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.920 Congrats on the move. 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:18.159 You guys have a cool vacation ahead, and uh, we'll work around that when you guys get back for our next episode. 00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.880 But we did want to thank everybody for for joining us. 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.519 Please rate and review us as we continue to grow. 00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:29.519 And we also do want to say thank you to our friends at Jackson Plants Indentures, led by former Georgia baseball player Dr. 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.679 Alex McCree and his partner, Dr. 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:32.719 Spencer Russell. 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:38.400 Visit jacksinplants.com to let this hometown practice make your smile a home run. 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:39.280 Thanks, Troy. 00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.639 Yes, thanks, Scott. 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:41.280 I had so much fun. 00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:42.079 Appreciate you. 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:43.440 Thanks for listening, everybody. 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.880 Talk to you soon.
