00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.199
Hello, and welcome to Backflips and
Nerds, the basic podcasts with a fricking

2
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:29.079
Spist. This is one of hopefully
a few bonus episodes of WBC content.

3
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.359
I was lucky enough to get down
to the gb training facility managed to have

4
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.039
a chat with a few of the
players on their thoughts of the tournament and

5
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.399
how they feeling, how everybody's kind
of get together. So you're going to

6
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.399
hear a few chats. I hope
you enjoy them. The team looks amazing.

7
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.479
Everybody was looking really forward to what's
going to happen, and I can't

8
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.960
wait to share with you over the
next few days weeks of what this GV

9
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.960
team can do, because hey,
it's going to be fire. So move

10
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.799
to our first chat, which was
with Justin Wiley. Apologies for the sound

11
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.480
of us walking on gravel, because
well, yeah, we were walking on

12
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:15.400
gravel. It's nice. So how
does it feel to be here? It's

13
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.920
beautiful, that's nice, having the
group together, finally, first practice together.

14
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.400
So seeing all the new faces,
seeing some old faces from Germany,

15
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.680
it's it's real nice, real nice. So yeah, we're we're down at

16
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.719
the Brew's facility. It's it's a
beautiful place with twenty two degrees, Sonny,

17
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.319
Like, I think we're just ready
for baseball, aren't we? Yeah?

18
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.359
Absolutely, how can you not be
ready with this weather and the facility.

19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.879
It's really nice, really happy that
the brewer is able to have us

20
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.040
um and then our staff is doing
a great job. Again that's prepared for

21
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.560
Saturday, you know. Yep,
so Saturdays that became against the US and

22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.560
Chase Fields. Have you guys been
lining up anybody who you want to be

23
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.120
taking those homes off or you're just
like we're just gonna take it as comes.

24
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:00.920
Yeah, you know, we're taking
a day by day obviously, are

25
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.480
staffs doing a great job of scouting
and getting us writing. Once we get

26
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.479
together for team meetings will really dive
in deep. But today it's just about

27
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.360
getting our bodies right, getting our
practice in and being together as a team.

28
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.599
If you had like a similar like
team bonding meeting to the one that

29
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.479
you guys had to break a book, yeah, or do you think people

30
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.039
let's come in once you've got everybody. Yeah, once we have everybody,

31
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.039
we're gonna get together. We haven't
because we still have some affiliate guys flying

32
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.120
in and gathering themselves getting settled.
So once that happens, we'll have our

33
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.599
meetings and get after it. Yeah. No, that's awesome. It's I

34
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.280
guess kind of like anything you want
to say to any of your friends and

35
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.280
families follow us. Yeah, no, just we really appreciate the GB support

36
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.919
and we're we're gonna do our best
job of being president in the moment,

37
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:55.560
competing the hardest of our abilities and
getting some ws. Just thank you Donald

38
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.919
the GB practice field when every semo, how does it feel to be here?

39
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.680
Uh, It's it's amazing, you
know, just to be around all

40
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.120
the guys again, especially after what
we did in Germany. Man, it

41
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120
was something special. You know.
Skip always speaks about family, you know,

42
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.080
coming together and stuff like that,
and I really believe that's what we've

43
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.319
grown in and that's what we've become. So just coming back and seeing all

44
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:21.919
the guys, it's bitter sweet.
Yeah, and obviously kind of it's an

45
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.719
amazing chance to kind of continue to
put not only being put the Bahamas baseball

46
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.240
like on the map. How does
it feel? I know we discuss this

47
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.680
when we were on our part recently, but everybody wears many kind of colors

48
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.840
with this too. How does that
kind of like feel for you guys.

49
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.960
Honestly, that that should makes it
special. Like I said, you have

50
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.159
a group of guys who's from almost
all parts of the world, you know,

51
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.680
and we come together and we put
it together and where we GB you

52
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:46.759
know, so that should makes special. You know, all of us come

53
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.360
from different backgrounds, different ethnicities,
but when we all come here and we

54
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.919
all get on this field and we
all strap on and put on i GB

55
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.159
here, it's all one, you
know. So that feeling right, there

56
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.840
is nothing better, nothing special that's
amazing into here. Obviously not telling any

57
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.479
of the secret source that's going to
happen for the tournament, but you're gonna

58
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.719
be leading the steel start again.
Boy oh boy, you know I'm out

59
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.639
of the gate of trying to get
two three a game. Yeah, it's

60
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.240
gonna be fantastic. Obviously if you're
at nine again putting it, going in

61
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.199
aheaded with Harry and you're getting on
base and just making that trouble, it's

62
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.560

see. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like

63
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.959
in Germany it was fun man,
you know, being able to get on

64
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.920
base and like kind like Harry Ford
is behind me. You know whereas I

65
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.360
have protection, you know, I
mean I felt happy. I felt free,

66
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399
you know, I could do whatever
I want. And I'm such a

67
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.519
great hit or that. I know. I just gotta get on second base

68
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:38.399
form anything you eat. Bass hit

69
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.920
I'm free. Man. So I'm
here with Harry Ford down at the

70
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.399

72
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.360

73
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.439
up with some of the guys that
obviously you met for the first time in

74
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.399
September, recatching up with some friends, making some new friends. How is

75
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.160
this kind of like that that vibe
that you guys made a Reckonsburg feel like

76
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.759
it's come back together and it's going
to grow again over the next day.

77
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.319
I never loved man, Like we
we all stay in touch and everything.

78
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.720
Man, it's just fun being around
each other every again and everything, and

79
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.480
like, you know, just knowing
that we did something special before and we

80
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.560
I'm gonna do it again. It's
cool. Yeah. So obviously for the

81
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.160
reckons BEG Tournament, you will one
of like the players of the tournament,

82
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.519
if not the player of the tournament
with the face of the tournament from I'll

83
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.600
be being one of those prospects.
How does it feel to now be going

84
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.040
up against like you're gonna sit on
a field which is you're gonna be catching

85
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.120
behind like Mike Trout and Mookie Bence's
Like, is that kind of is that

86
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.399
going through your mind at all?
And you still guys like this game at

87
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.399
a time, just gotta play baseball. Do not think about who those guys

88
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.800
are? I would hope be lying
we didn't say it was on my mind,

89
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.959
because I mean, it's just like, ah, it's just a dream,

90
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.199
like we're playing as my best teams
in the world if ever, and

91
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.199
you know, just you know,
the guys you always see on TV.

92
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:09.480
It doesn't get any like more normal. So it's just like it's really cool

93
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.720
experience knowing that we're gonna get to
play against those dudes and just be recognized

94
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.600
the same game as people like that, if anything like, So it's gonna

95
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.519
be really really special. And I
guess obviously like for yourself, this this

96
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.959
is hopefully just a stepping stone,
like you want you want to be the

97
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.120
playing major League baseball in as short
of time as possible. Do you feel

98
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.959
like this will give you like a
better experience and help you kind of like

99
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.160
progress? You know, I do
think it will give me a good,

100
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.560
good experience in progression, just just
learning how to prepare for a game like

101
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.240
this, you know, and just
like really like because we're playing the big

102
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.759
league game and we're playing all lightsing
me on, four thousand people gonna be

103
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.639
there and everything, so like it's
it's good. It's good practice, I

104
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.279
mean, not practice. It's good
to learn how it goes and to get

105
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.680
a taste of it, you know, and honestly, more than just a

106
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.759
taste is like something will probably I'm
not sure if we'll be able to get

107
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.920
to do again. So does take
it on? Yeah, I think obviously.

108
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.720
I think she's gonna get an It's
still an atmosphere between you guys,

109
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.680
like you guys are still hungry,
Like it wasn't just like a win to

110
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:15.839
be here, like you know,
he had to make up number. It

111
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.720
wasn't. It wasn't just lucky.
Yeah we were good too. You're gonna

112
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.959
you're gonna take some names. Yeah, we got some dudes. We've got

113
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.639
some major leaguers. We got a
bunch of dudes, a bunch of better

114
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.680
man, You've got a great team, and I don't think people really realize.

115
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.920
All right, chance, Sorry,
have a good one, Thanks man.

116
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:40.639
Thanks. I'm delighted to be chatting
with Alex across the here down on

117
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.879
with a GD teams to practice before
their warm up games and before the torment.

118
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.720
How does it feel to be here? I mean it feels amazing.

119
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.639
Um quick, easy trip for myself
coming from Las Vegas. So you know,

120
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.120
while I'm just happy and proud to
be representing great Britain and ready to

121
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.199
get to it. Yeah. So
obviously it was an amazing job. Well

122
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.040
done the team and everybody in Regensburg. But we're not just here to make

123
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.279
up numbers. Like this team wants
to show that, like you still have

124
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.519
more fight, you still have more
to give, So like, how do

125
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.279
you how do you prepare? I
feel kind of like this sort of thing.

126
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.319
So I just ramped it up a
little bit earlier because you know,

127
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.759
my seasons usually start a month from
now, so it's just getting that month

128
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.959
in preparation beforehand, you know,
seeing some live doing everything I can.

129
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.839
You know, it's the same routine, working out, get into the field,

130
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.959
hidden the cages. So nothing really
changes, just the time. So

131
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.559
you're right, it's just getting getting
started a little bit earlier. The preparation

132
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.240
is always key. Just gotta stay
focused. So yeah, and there was

133
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.799
a great atmosphere between like you guys
as players like at the previous tournament,

134
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.960
like how do you how do you
kind of like describe that and how it

135
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.120
kind of like helped you guys like
actually like progress. Obviously, it's amazing

136
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.159
that you guys come from so many
different backgrounds and the fact that Drew managed

137
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.320
to get you guys to share that
and pretty built in commadrate. It's just

138
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.360
the whole chemistry thing, right,
So we're just bringing that over. You

139
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.080
know, new guys are welcome,
all of them. You know, we

140
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.840
all talk, We all somehow somewhere
we're all still connected. Baseball is a

141
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.159
very small world, so you do
know people um coming in, coming out,

142
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.960
So that alone will help us with
the chemistry. And right, we're

143
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.080
just like Drew's meeting, right,
everyone talks about the importance of what great

144
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.039
Britain and what it represents you,
you know, because that's what made you

145
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.799
And so like I said, we're
just we're all proud to be here,

146
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.519
we're all honored, we're all blessed. We gotta thank God, you know,

147
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.600
put us in the right place,
right time, in the position,

148
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.240
and I think we're ready to go. We're ready to shock some people.

149
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.320
That's awesome. So you say you're
ready to shock some people, have you

150
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.320
got that line drive to deep set
a field and chasing your eyes like who

151
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.360
you're picking as a man, You're
gonna you're gonna hit a donk off.

152
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.840
So you know, my goal always
in the box is really just compete,

153
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.440
compete, compete, and hit the
ball hard. You know, I want

154
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.279
to make sure that if I get
out, it's going to be allowed out.

155
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.720
Home runs are never really in my
mind. You know, it's a

156
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.879
great thing when they happen, But
as far as right, the preparation is

157
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.279
line drive, line drive, line
drive, just make something happen. Cool

158
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.840
Jez Alex all the best of the
tournament. Man, Thank you, man.

159
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.440
I appreciate you for having me so
down the Ghyll facility, and I'm

160
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.279
delightful to have Cooper and eshe to
probably the long stage with the dB team.

161
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.639
How does it feel to be here, guys? Coop you want to

162
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.639
go first. It's been a journey
man. It's I can't tell you the

163
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.799
emotion like winning that qualifier, Like
I cried on the field, Like we've

164
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.039
been pushing for a long time.
I joined the team for this and to

165
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.480
like finally be here. I get
chills every time I think about it.

166
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.120
So I'm excited. This teams go
a long way, and for me,

167
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.960
it's kind of like a second chance. I've been retired for quite a while.

168
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.879
Um you know, I've had some
arm problems and finally feel good again.

169
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.120
I was getting ready for the qualifier
but didn't quite make the squad.

170
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.679
So I know we're also not here
and we're all missing him, but I'm

171
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.039
a benefactor of that, and so
just just happy to be here. Do

172
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.679
anything you can to win as many
games as you can. Yeah, I

173
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.720
think that's that's the key thing,
Like keep he doesn't want to be here.

174
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.759
It's kind of like to make up
the numbers. We're not We're not

175
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.399
done by getting Hay from Bregon's.
But there's there's plenty more that the team

176
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.320
and you guys want to show.
So how do you kind of prepare yourself

177
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.399
for a tournament where if you're honest
to yourself. You're underdogs, but then

178
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.840
you want to win games. I
mean ust being and I didn't know it's

179
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.799
might be our biggest advantage. It
wasn't the golfers, no one expected us

180
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.879
to win there. We won and
it wasn't like we skated through. We

181
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.320
beat every team that we played.
The Spain game tough game, but we

182
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.000
we dogged it out and we came
back. I was going to go that

183
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.600
we came even won that one,
so like to be here. Everyone's gonna

184
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.600
sleep on us again. They're gonna
be like, oh great Britain, like

185
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.080
we got this one. Well,
we we're waiting for Mexico, we're waiting

186
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.559
for Canada and those teams they're not
they're not gonna know what's coming for.

187
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.039
So yeah, there's there's a lot
of a lot of young, wall humble

188
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.720
talent on this team. Um,
you know, when when the lights turn

189
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.399
on, we'll get to see what
it's capable of. But Dan and I

190
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.759
have talked this week about how this
is by far the most talented gbteam we've

191
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.159
seen get put together on the field. So you know, I like our

192
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.399
chances um in tournament play. You
know, if we had to go play

193
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.559
a hundred sixty two games, it
might be a little tougher, but you

194
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.600
know, four games, it gets
four really good teams. You know it.

195
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.399
You know we've done this for years. GB plays plays tournament Baseball,

196
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.399
and you know it's almost a coin
clip in every game and fifty fifty odds

197
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.200
or we will definitely take. Yeah, that's one of the glorious things about

198
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.720
Baseball's that the best team doesn't win
off the time, Like and when we

199
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.600
have this this tournament, which it
isn't even like a double elimination or whatever,

200
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.320
like obviously you've got your group stages, but if you guys make it

201
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.840
to those quarters, semis finals,
it's like it's one and done and Drew

202
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.720
Show and the mastery of handling kind
of like the pitch the pitches and all

203
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.759
accounts string like the other tournament?
Does it bring? Do you guys think

204
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.120
about this, like when you're actually
even on the mound or when you're warming

205
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.240
up knowing that like I may have
like a limit of how many pitches are

206
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.759
gonna do because it's going to be
different of maybe like how you go out

207
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.360
in other games or tournaments. I
don't I don't think so, um I

208
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.279
had some some good advice when I
made my big, big debut, which

209
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.759
was, make as many pitches as
you can until we come get you.

210
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.759
Um, And I think that's that's
really what tournament baseball is about. If

211
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.480
you're here to make ten pitches,
you make the ten best pitches you can

212
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.279
make. If you're here to make
sixty five, you make the best sixty

213
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.279
five and can make But um,
yeah, just one pitch at a time,

214
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.120
make each pitch count, making each
pitch matter. Yeah, I mean

215
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.679
these guys, that's what these guys
are paid to do. They're here to

216
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.960
handle the numbers, make sure we're
doing we're do. We go out there,

217
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.960
get our outs, and they ask
them to go out again, we

218
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.840
go out again. If not,
let the next guy do it. And

219
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.399
like you said, we've been playing
tournament baseball for a long time. These

220
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.879
guys do it once every three four
years we've been I've done all of these

221
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.399
now, I think I'm pretty familiar
with how these tournaments work. Let's see

222
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.600
if we get him extra any See, they won't they won't know what's coming.

223
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.799
When you start with runners on first
and second, They're gonna go out

224
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.559
there and have no clue. We've
been practicing for this for years, so

225
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.639
yeah, I guess my final question
is obviously Chase Field is normally expecially like

226
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.759
a few door environment obviously for the
baseballs, Like, have you guys ever

227
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.679
pitched with like humidal baseballs before or
you know, if that's going to be

228
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.200
any difference for you guys? Is
it? Um? Well? I know,

229
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.159
I know Coop played quite a long
time in the Cal State League,

230
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.799
so you probably can have used some
human or baseball. Yeah, honestly,

231
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.159
it's it is what it is.
I like them. I throw sinkers.

232
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.399
The balls spends a little faster,
so a little bit more depth. If

233
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:26.519
you make a bad pitch, you
make a bad pitch, it biglier.

234
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.679
It's going over the fence anyway,
So you just gotta make good pitches.

235
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.519
To me, I like them.
They give me a little bit more,

236
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.919
a little bit more bite. They
spend a little tighter. Yeah, And

237
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.639
I think, I think anything is
mental. So if you put it in

238
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.639
your head, um, it's gonna
be difficult to get it out of your

239
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.519
head. And so if you go
if you go in with that approach,

240
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.960
I've got this baseball that's gonna fly, then you know that's what's gonna happen

241
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.559
if you go into it, you
know, knowing that all you've got to

242
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.519
do is compete against the guy that's
sixty feet away from you and give it

243
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.360
your best. I like I like
our chances. Now, it's been a

244
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.720
pleasure dance. Wish you all the
best and hopefully will see you guys in

245
00:14:58.799 --> 00:14:58.840
Miami yet Cli
