A little bit later on, we will

6
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.400
hear from a couple of Guardians relief
pitchers, Kate Smith, the rookie who

7
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.200
made his major league debut and fine
style in the Oakland Series to start the

8
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.200
season, and Tyler Beatty, who
has been terrific out of the bullpen as

9
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:32.120
well for the Guardians for a bullpen
that is fair quite well so far this

10
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:38.280
season. We'll also be joined by
Seattle Mariners outfielder but Cleveland native Dominic Canzone,

11
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.879
who hit his first home run of
the season against Cleveland in the Seattle

12
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.400
Series, and we'll hear from him
a little bit later on in our show

13
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.719

the MC again I gave wait to get

32
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.560
all rolled again. Jim Rosenhouse back
with you. It is Guardians Weekly from

33
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.520
Target Field in Minneapolis this week and
it is a long road trip to start

34
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.159
the season. Three cities, ten
games and it began in Oakland with the

35
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.560
Guardians taking three out of four from
the Athletics, and then earlier this week

36
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.360
it was on to Seattle where Monday
night, the Mariners came away with a

37
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.280
five to four win in the series
opener, but the Guardians would battle back

38
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.280
and even up the series on Tuesday
night behind the strong right arm of Shane

39
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.919
Bieber, who has been terrific so
far in the young season. He won

40
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.680
on opening night, and this time
he was matched up with Luis Castill in

41
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.639
a tremendous pitching matchup in Seattle on
Tuesday night, and for the Guardians,

42
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.040
Bieber was sharp early in his second
start of the season. Now Bieber the

43
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.920
wine and the payoff pitch to can
zone and it's strike three call looking at

44
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:38.079
a slider. So Bieber gets his
first strikeout. Now the wine. Now

45
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.319
the pitch swing and a miss.
Good slider got him. Bieber looks like

46
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.399
he's getting sharper. Three in the
books, Cleveland and Seattle scoreless. Cleveland

47
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.040
got the scoring started in the fourth
inning with a runner on and Will Brennan

48
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.800
at the plate. Another two pitch
coming to Brennan. Here it is swung

49
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.759
on line dry base hit in the
right field. Ramirez makes the turnhill head

50
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.399
to and it's bobbled out there by
Hanneger. Ramirez rounding thirties, heading for

51
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:10.199
home. There'll be no relay.
Jose Ramirez scores from first base thanks to

52
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.079
the error by the right fielder Mitch
Hanneger, and Will Brennan with a base

53
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.680
head ends up at second base and
the Guardians have the lead won nothing,

54
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.240
and then bow Naylor put a charge
into one. Here's the pitch swung on

55
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.439
and here's a high fly ball deep
right field, way back there. Home

56
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:38.519
run bow Naylor, and just like
that, the Guardians are in front three

57
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.160
nothing on Naylor's first home run of
the season. The Guardians added to their

58
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.160
lead in the fifth. Brian Rochio
got it started with a double and then

59
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:53.720
Stephen Kwan delivered top of the lineup. Stephen Kwan steps in bunts third base

60
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.040
side of the mount. Good bunt
picked up by the third baseman Rojas,

61
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.079
and he throws it away past the
first baseman that will allow Rochio to score

62
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:09.040
and the Guardians now lead it for
nothing. Sloppy defense strikes again for the

63
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:15.079
Mariners, and the Guardians take full
advantage and they now lead it by four

64
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.240
runs. And with a four to
nothing lead, Bieber went back to work.

65
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:26.240
Here's the one too swing and I
miss strike three and Bieber with a

66
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.399
show of emotion as he strikes out
Crawford. He's pumped up. This is

67
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:36.279
not a good matchup from Mitch Garver. Shane Bieber pretty much owns him now.

68
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:42.879
The two strike delivery swinging and a
miss sona slider, Bieber gets his

69
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.480
ninth strikeout, wipes out Garver.
Six. In the books, Cleveland four,

70
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.600
Seattle nothing. In the seventh,
it was back to back singles from

71
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:57.480
Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor that brought
Tyler Freeman to the plate. Right hander,

72
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:02.600
he's ready, and Freeman, with
a runner going sends one in the

73
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.639
air to right going back as Hannager, he'll make the catch in front of

74
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:12.639
the track. He'll throw the first
back with the slightest nailer tagging and scoring

75
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:19.040
is Ramirez. So Tyler Freeman comes
through with good situational hitting with a drive

76
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:25.600
to fairly deep Rite and the sackfly
puts Cleveland on top five to nothing.

77
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.279
Freeman has four RBIs on the ear. The Mariners broke up the shutout bid

78
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.680
with two runs in the seventh inning, making it five to two, and

79
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.600
then e Manuel Classe came on in
the ninth looking to nail down his second

80
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:46.160
save of the season. Now the
O two pitch, straight three call ball

81
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.199
game, Crawford is out looking.
The Guardians pitching staff strikes out a dozen

82
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.519
and the Guardians tonight, behind the
right arm of Shane Bieber, have even

83
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.600
the series, beating c five to
two. The rubber match Wednesday afternoon at

84
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.240
T Mobile Park in Seattle, and
it was a quick start for the Guardians

85
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.120
offense against Seattle starter George Kirby.
They had two men on in the first

86
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.199
inning with Jose Ramirez stepping in.
Now the two to one pitch swung and

87
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.040
ripped a deep right field and this
ball is going to short hop the wall.

88
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.240
Extra mass for Ramirez on his way
to second in the scores. Kwan

89
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.919
on his way to third. He
Meenez and Cleveland jumps out to a one

90
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:41.480
nothing lead. Three batters in an
absolute missile that never got very high off

91
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:48.080
the ground and short hopped the wall
in right field in Jose Ramirez as his

92
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.120
first double of the year, is
fifth RBI of the year, and Cleveland's

93
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.840
got a chance to have a big
first inning. Josh Naylor followed with an

94
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.440
RBI ground out to make it to
nothing, and then Will Brennan kept the

95
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.919
biginning going. Now the pitch swung
on, pulled on the ground a second

96
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.840
off the glove of Polanco, rolls
towards shallow right. Safe at first is

97
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:16.320
Brennan in the scores Ramirez three nothing
Cleveland with the infield drawn in a sharply

98
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.320
hit ground ball to the second baseman
Polanco and it kicked off his glove and

99
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.480
rolled into shallow right and the Guardians
have a three to nothing lead. They

100
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.840
still have a runner at first.
There is still only one out RBI number

101
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.600
two for Will Brennan. In the
second. It was Brian Rochio and Stephen

102
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.200
Kuan with singles to bring Andre Simenez
to the play. With men in scoring

103
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.480
position, Kirby hands held just above
the belt. Runner goes Pitt swung on

104
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.080
smaster first under the glove of France
in the right field on his way to

105
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.519
third, ist Kwan into scores rochio, head first, slide into second.

106
00:09:52.679 --> 00:10:00.840
Jimenez is there and the guardians keep
pouring it on four nothing Cleveland still nobody

107
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.840
out runners at second and third.
And that should be an air on France

108
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:09.960
at first, who went to backhand
that sharp ground ball? And now they're

109
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:15.279
ruling this up bee he's hitting an
RBI. Well, Jimenez will take it.

110
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.879
I guarantee you. George Kirby thought
that play should have been made at

111
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.799
first, and so give Jimenez his
sixth RBI right in pencil, folks.

112
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.639
Two batters later, Josh Naylor knocked
in another run in field in here's the

113
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.799
pitch, a swing and a fly
ball shallow left more coming in tagging at

114
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.279
third as Kwan catches made Quan's coming
home throw the plate off target, the

115
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:46.720
slide safe advancing to third on a
tag is Jimenez. The throw was a

116
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:54.320
little bit outside the foul line near
home plate, so it took the catcher

117
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:00.759
Zavalla to his left, and then
Kwan slid in feet first, the inside

118
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.279
a home plate man, it was
close. Meanwhile on the mound, Logan

119
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.200
Allen, the lefty, he had
it all working. Logan Allen checks first,

120
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.679
he'll come to the plate and straight
three call. Ron Regez didn't like

121
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.080
to call. Thought the changeup was
high. He has words leaving home plate.

122
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.279
He has struck out twice. That's
four for Logan Allen. Then the

123
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.480
offense was back at it in the
fourth inning, a single from Quan,

124
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.279
another from Jimenez. That's set the
table for Jose Ramirez. Kirby from the

125
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.080
stretch delivers and there's a swing of
the line. Drive hit high and deep

126
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.919
toward right and it plugs against the
bottom of the fence. Extra bases for

127
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.240
Ramirez. A run is in.
That's Kwan advancing. The third is Jimenez

128
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.559
and Jose Ramirez. Now a pair
of RBI doubles has helped the Guardians tack

129
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:03.120
on another run. It is now
six nothing Cleveland. Josh Naylor followed a

130
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.679
sackfly for his third run, batted
in on the day despite going hitless,

131
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.919
and that made it seven to nothing
Cleveland. When Will Brennan kept the rally

132
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.759
going, here's his pitch, swung
online drive right center base hit Brennan.

133
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.679
That'll bring in another run and it
is now eight nothing Cleveland on the RBI

134
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.000
single for Brennan, his third run
driven in on the year, and the

135
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.360
beat goes on for Cleveland and good
for Will Brennan. He has at least

136
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.919
three extremely well hit balls that have
been turned into outs with great defensive plays

137
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.559
this season. So there he kind
of looked like he caught one maybe off

138
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.320
the end of the bat and just
kind of floated it out into right center

139
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.360
field and rewarded with a basit for
putting it in play. With two strikes,

140
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.879
Logan Allen, along with the bullpen
combo of Nick Sandl and Cade Smith

141
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.679
well they kept the Mariners off the
board through eight and then Tim Herron was

142
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.840
on in the ninth to try and
complete the shutout. The pitch swung on

143
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.879
a little floater shallow left, Kwan
coming in makes the running catch, ball

144
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.320
game and the Guardians take another series
as they beat up the Seattle Mariners today

145
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:24.159
eight to nothing, their second shutout
of the campaign. Logan Allen with six

146
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:31.120
and two thirds scoreless innings and Cleveland
now at five and two, so a

147
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.399
solid win to take a series from
the Mariners. Ate nothing on Wednesday at

148
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.440
Seattle and a leighty flight to Minnesota
had the Guardians ready to go for the

149
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:45.639
Twins home opener on Thursday afternoon at
Target Field in Minneapolis. First meeting of

150
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.919
the season between the two AL Central
Division rivals, Pablo Lopez versus ten Or

151
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.200
Bibby was the pitching matchup. Bases
loaded, two down, the payoff pitch

152
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:05.000
straight three call, painted the inside
corner with that same slider. Bibby get

153
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.120
the call this time. He screams
into his glove, heading to the third

154
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.519
base, dugout the next offering,
hit on the ground again to the second

155
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.919
basement, another easy ending. Julian
throws over and I don't know if Lopez

156
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.000
has broke a sweat yell. He
is making it look easy. He is

157
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.879
perfect through three and we are scoreless. In the third, the two to

158
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.360
two swinging and a mess got him
with another good slider. Biby has struck

159
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.360
out six and he had his best
standing by far three in the books.

160
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.879
Cleveland and Minnesota no score in the
fourth, the Guardians got things going with

161
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.279
singles from Stephen Kuan and Andre Cimenez, and then it was Jose Ramirez continuing

162
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.039
to rack up the RBIs. Here
comes his payoff pitch swung on line drive

163
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.879
right center field base it scoring is
Kwan. On his way to third is

164
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.879
he Menez, and Jose Ramirez comes
through with an RBI single to put the

165
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.200
Guardians in front one nothing, just
like they would draw it up with the

166
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.919
lineup back to back singles by Kwan
and Jimenez, and then Ramirez with a

167
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.799
single to right center. Two batters
later, Tyler Freeman's strong start to the

168
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.600
season continued. Here comes the one
swung online right side, sinking fast,

169
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:28.080
shallow right, and it falls in
for a base hit. Ramirez scores,

170
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.639
Naylor makes it to third, stops
there, and Tyler Freeman gives the Guardians

171
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:39.879
a two run lead with an opposite
field single to shallow right center, and

172
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.120
the Guardians continue to click here.
In the fourth inning, Will Brennan followed

173
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.639
with a sack fly to make it
three to nothing Cleveland. Then the Twins

174
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.360
got on the board in the fifth
on a solo home run from Edward Julian,

175
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.320
but the Guardians got that run right
back in the sixth thanks to some

176
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.759
sloppy defense from Minnesota. Payoff pitch
swung out a broken bat chopper in the

177
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:06.840
hole booted by Correa, and everybody
moves up a base now going too far

178
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.559
around second is nailer Now the throat
of the plate Loreano and a run down

179
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.320
between home and third, and the
ball bottled the throw and he is tagged

180
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.600
out at the plate and the throw
hung on to by Carlos Santana who made

181
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.639
the tag at home plate. A
Naylor ran Cleveland out of the inning after

182
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:33.320
Carlos Carrea booted the ball at short
Brennan scores a gift run. The bases

183
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:38.159
still should be loaded, but a
base running mistake costs Cleveland, and we

184
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.679
will go to the bottom of the
sixth with Cleveland up four to one.

185
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:47.480
And then in the bottom of the
sixth the ink Tanner Bibby continued to pile

186
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:53.240
up the strikeouts. Here's the wine
and by these two to two pitch straight

187
00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:02.320
three call painted the outside corner,
strikeout number nine for Biby. Correa retired.

188
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:07.160
Here is Carlos Santana badding left handed. Biby's day is done. What

189
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.079
an effort. He gives up one
run He'll leave here. In the sixth,

190
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.640
Cleveland up four to one. The
Twins got a little closer with a

191
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.000
run in the seventh that made it
four to two. Scott Barlow worked a

192
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.039
scorelet eighth, and then in the
ninth it was a Manuel class A on

193
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.119
to try and close it out.
Now the one oh pitch swung on line

194
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:32.160
to center field. But right there
is Freeman ballgame and the Guardians keep on

195
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:37.680
rolling. They take care of the
Twins in Game one and our winners by

196
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.240
a final score of four to two. So I start to the series in

197
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:48.599
Minnesota for the Guardians with that four
to two victory over the Twins on Thursday

198
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.599
afternoon. Stay with us when we
come back. We'll head to that Guardian's

199
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.680
bullpen. We'll hear from Brookie,
Kate Smith, and veteran Tyler Beattie.

200
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:02.720
That's coming your way next on the
Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio, and work boy.

201
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.279
This has got a chance to be
another fun summer off the shores of

202
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:23.480
Lake Geary. The major league debut
of Cade Smith. Smith with that mid

203
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:30.119
nineties fastball. He's also got the
slider and the split finger six' five

204
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.319
two thirty out of Vancouver. The
next, offering a swing and a mess

205
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:41.839
cage, Smith strikes out the first
major league hitter he faces right on right

206
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:47.799
here's the pitch, swinging a mess
with a wicked slider. Cag Smith.

207
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.880
You can't do better in a major
league debut than what he did. He

208
00:18:52.160 --> 00:19:00.319
strikes out the side. Welcome back
to Guardians Weekly, Jim Rosen House along

209
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.960
with you from Target Field in Minneapolis, where the Guardians are taking on the

210
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.319
Twins this weekend. They won the
opener of the series on Thursday afternoon,

211
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.920
and it's been a solid road trip
so far. Cleveland now six and two

212
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:18.079
to start the season heading into their
off day on Friday. And one of

213
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.720
the reasons why good work by the
bullpen from some unexpected sources. Kate Smith

214
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.160
made his major league debut last weekend
in Oakland after making the ball club out

215
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.880
of spring training. It wasn't easy. There was a numbers game going on

216
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.559
that potentially could have seen him left
off the roster, but he was named

217
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.480
to the roster the day before the
opener, and he has been solid so

218
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:47.319
far in his major league debut.
Against the Athletics, it was two scoreless

219
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.240
innings with five strikeouts, and after
that game he talked about how it felt

220
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.119
to be out there facing major league
hitters for the first time. Well,

221
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.599
I think the cool thing about it
was that it wasn't too different from you

222
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.400
know, from what screen training felt
like, being able to just go out

223
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.440
there and compete like normal, trust
my stuff and not you know, not

224
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.440
expected to be a different game.
It's still the same game. So I'm

225
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.759
still going to go out and try
and do the same things that I do

226
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.519
and trust my stuff and you know, not feel like I have to do

227
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.039
anything more or anything less just because
it is a regular season game. You

228
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.680
hear players say that all the time
and coaches say that to players. How

229
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:34.000
were you able to actually do that
though? Yeah, it's just about kind

230
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:40.599
of taking the time to breathe and
slow down and enjoy the moment and you

231
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.440
know, not start to rush and
move too quick, but really just to

232
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.799
be present. You mentioned enjoying the
moment, and from our vantage point up

233
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.880
in the booth, we could see
your family behind the first base dug out.

234
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.640
Uh. Were you able to acknowledge
them on the way back that the

235
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.839
two innings that you worked. Yeah, I got to see them when I

236
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.079
came off the field after myding,
but it looked like they were having fun.

237
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.759
They're cheering and standing insagreement, So
it was really cool and everybody has

238
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:11.559
a different journey because of where you're
from. What did it mean to you

239
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.240
that they were able to get here
and what were some of the challenges that

240
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.079
they had. Well, it was
it wasn't really for sure that they'd be

241
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.240
able to come. There was a
lot of uncertainty this week leading up to

242
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:26.279
it. But then the whole story
with my dad having to get squeezed in

243
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.319
to see the cardiologist at lunchtime on
Tuesday, I think, and get cleared

244
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.480
to fly the next day. And
really up until that point we weren't sure

245
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.119
he would be able to come.
But I mean God opens some closed his

246
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.640
doors as he sees fit, and
thankfully he was able to come down and

247
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.319
be a part of that. Kate, A little bit unusual for you in

248
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:47.799
terms of how you were told you
had made the team because it wasn't one

249
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.000
hundred percent And how was that week
where you were kind of in limbo and

250
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.839
not one hundred percent sure that you
were on the opening day roster. Yeah,

251
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.640
it was the same thing when you
deal with any type of uncertainties,

252
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:00.480
you don't want to let yourself get
to you high, you know, and

253
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.880
let yourself get too low, just
you know, trust like I said,

254
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.400
guy's going to open and closed doors. He sees fit. So all I

255
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:07.839
can do is kind of take it
one day at a time, do what

256
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.519
I can, you know, do
what I do, focus on what I

257
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.880
can control, and not let those
things that are outside of my control bother

258
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.400
me or affect, you know,
the way I go about my business and

259
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.160
how I treat people. With that
said, when you did finally find out,

260
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:25.039
officially, explain that moment, how
you found out and what that was

261
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.279
like. Well, I think it
was when the Guardians posted the opening day

262
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.480
roster. My name was on it, and my family was like, are

263
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.559
we allowed to celebrate right now?
And so briefly they did, and then

264
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.680
we went straight back to hanging out
and playing cards because you know, like

265
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.039
I said, I'm not trying to
get too high or too low, but

266
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.079
just say, even killed as best
I can and continue with my work and

267
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.039
just do it that way, I
guess. And oh, by the way,

268
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.640
you had a really good debut with
a ton of strikeouts over two innings.

269
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.599
Not that you need validation of your
stuff because you were in spring training

270
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.839
and as you've worked your way up, but does it kind of validate that

271
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.880
you belong up here and that your
stuff's good enough to play. I think

272
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.960
so for sure. And you know
it's good to get the first one out

273
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.559
of the way and just start looking
forward to the next one, right,

274
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.519
And that's what it comes down to, is taking it one day at a

275
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:18.039
time, being ready every game,
trying to help the team win and do

276
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.039
what I can to contribute in that
way. Okay, congratulations, Thank you.

277
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.079
Had his young heart throwing right hander
Kate Smith, who figures to be

278
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.920
a key part of this bullpen as
the season develops. Another key pitcher in

279
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:36.200
the early going has been veteran Tyler
Beatty. And Beatty He's been in the

280
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.200
major leagues quite some time with the
San Francisco Giants, but last year pitched

281
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.759
in Japan. Now he's back and
after signing a minor league deal with the

282
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.240
Guardians, he had to make the
roster as a non roster invite. He

283
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.839
did, and at the end of
spring training it was his former catcher with

284
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.759
the Giants, Stephen Vote, who
told him the good news that he would

285
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.359
be on the ball club for opening
Day. Yeah, it was incredible,

286
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.440
special moment for Vote and I you
know, he you know, had mentioned

287
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.440
that this was his first meeting of
the day where he had good news for

288
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.519
someone and was appreciative that it was
me, And yeah, we we have,

289
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.160
you know, a history together as
player, as teammates, and so

290
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.559
now to have sort of our first
interaction as coach or manager and player,

291
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:25.400
be that making the team incredible.
You sign here as a non roster invite,

292
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:29.519
so there's a chance that things don't
go the way they've worked out.

293
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:30.960
There's some risk involved, I guess
is the best way to put it.

294
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.720
The way it turned out, though, did it reaffirm maybe what you thought

295
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.759
of this organization coming in. Yeah, I like the way you put that

296
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.799
there is risk involved. I just
knew that this was the best place for

297
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.440
me as a player and as a
person too. I think that's been affirmed

298
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.279
over the weeks that I've been here, with the interactions I've had, conversations

299
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.319
I've had. But you know,
the pitching group is obviously well known,

300
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.200
highly recognized. The way that they've
developed pictures, the rotation that they constantly

301
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.720
have is always high, high level. So I knew that I would benefit

302
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.680
from being here making the team.
It wasn't like an expectation that I put

303
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.519
on myself, So I just wanted
to come into camp and just be myself,

304
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:17.839
kind of put on display what I've
learned over the last twelve months being

305
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.480
in Japan, how I've sort of
revamped myself and see where the chips would

306
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.720
fall. You know, I was
happy being in Columbus if that was the

307
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.880
play, just so you know I
can continue to grow and develop. And

308
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.720
but obviously you know static that I
made the team you mentioned in Japan,

309
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:36.480
and you had a really short window
to make that decision on going there.

310
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.559
Tell us about that and what led
you there in a very much positive way.

311
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.559
Yeah, the essentially became a free
agent in twenty twenty three off season,

312
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:52.319
sorry, twenty twenty two off season, and was first contact I had

313
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.720
was from Tokyo Giants, and they
basically gave me a forty eight hour window

314
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.200
to make the decision. The way
the things work over there is they have

315
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.000
a list of guys they sort of
try to go down throughout the off season,

316
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:04.400
and they don't want to take too
long so that they don't miss out

317
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.359
on certain other guys. Right if
I were to say no, but ended

318
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.799
up being a decision that my wife
and I were really ecstatic about. Honored

319
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.519
by such a storied franchise over there, sort of like the Yankees of Japan,

320
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.680
and was able to have the chance
to go over there, and it

321
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.400
was a special year. Really.
It really was our first Our first son

322
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.640
was born and sort of had his
first year of life over there. So

323
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.119
it was just a really incredible year
for us, and yeah, set us

324
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:33.240
up for this opportunity to come back. Not everyone embraces that, the going

325
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.799
over to Japan. They're so much
different. Why did you like it so

326
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:40.640
much? Yeah, I mean,
gosh, the people are incredible. I

327
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.640
think that's the first thing that I
always try to say is they're so friendly,

328
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:52.359
supportive, just like adored my family
and made us feel special at home

329
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.759
over there in a different country.
It's just a really beautiful place to be,

330
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:02.359
fun place to travel around, super
clean. They love baseball. I

331
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:07.359
mean you're playing in front of incredible
crowds and atmospheres from spring training Game one

332
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.920
all the way to the end of
the season, so just so many memorable

333
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.519
moments. But it had a lot
to do with the fans that my teammates

334
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.279
and just the people I interacted with
over there. Tyler Beattie joining us,

335
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:23.279
he's made the ball club and obviously
pitching wise, What did that season in

336
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:27.079
Japan do for you in terms of
changes that you've been able to implement?

337
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:30.680
Now, Yeah, you know,
I developed a lot of confidence in myself

338
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.200
over there, a lot of things
that I wanted to work on and just

339
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.480
discover about myself and really just own
who I was as a player in as

340
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:40.839
a person. So I just got
to really, you know, put put

341
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.160
things into play over there and experience
things from a pitching standpoint that I really

342
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.640
hadn't given myself the freedom to explore
over in the States more more just kind

343
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:53.039
of room to do that over there
versus the confines of sort of professional baseball

344
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.920
here in the States. And so
you know, anytime you see guys go

345
00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.920
over there, it's sort of that
they've given that opportunity to to be themselves

346
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.960
in that atmosphere. So you know, I got to you know, really

347
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.519
compete in the zone more than I
have before, and just learn how my

348
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.279
stuff plays in the zone to different
types of hitters, and learn a few

349
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.160
new pitches that I wanted to experiment
with, and you know, ended up

350
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.680
being successful for me enough to want
them to be my main pitches coming back

351
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:22.000
in the States. And so really
those things in total, we're kind of

352
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.920
what set me up to feel confident
in coming back to compete for an MLB

353
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:32.119
roster spot. And you obviously make
an opening day roster at a very different

354
00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:33.799
stage in your career than that maybe
the first time. But can you tell

355
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.440
us about the first time you made
a major league roster and how different it

356
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.640
was compared to what you went through
this week? Yeah, you know this.

357
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.559
I don't want to say that this
one feels more special than the first

358
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.960
one, because it's all your first
one is always pretty special. This one

359
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.000
just feels more I'll just be transparently, it just feels more deserved, you

360
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.680
know. I just feel like I
really showcased, you know, certain things

361
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:59.880
about my game that feel, you
know, have led the compelled the club

362
00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:03.279
to add me to the roster.
And the first time was special, obviously

363
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.359
with San Francisco, and loved that
group that I came up with and got

364
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.640
to be a part of for Opening
Day there in San Francisco. But this

365
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.759
one just feels a little bit more
special, and I'm grateful for it.

366
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.319
I'm thirty now, I know these
opportunities are few and far between. At

367
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:23.160
any point, this New Jersey could
could be taken off and it could be

368
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.160
done, but I'm just really trying
to soak this one in. I know

369
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:33.240
this doesn't happen too often. Grateful
for a second chance and excited to help

370
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:38.000
this ball club win games this year. It's veteran pitcher Tyler Beatty talking about

371
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:42.680
some of the things that hopes makes
him a key part of this ball club

372
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:47.200
throughout the season. Stay with us
when we come back. It's our final

373
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:55.400
segment after this time out the Cleveland
Clinic Guardians Radio Network. Now the next

374
00:29:55.440 --> 00:30:00.799
Gonfering and Beady get some swinging over
the top of a so a can becomes

375
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:10.519
the twelfth oaklan A does strikeout today
Cleveland strike Out thirteen. On Thursday Night

376
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.240
at Progressive, we know money can
buy you happiness, but money did help

377
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.039
you buy an RV, which means
an excuse for working Saturday with your insufferable

378
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.240
coworker Dave. So money is helping
you listen to birds chirp instead of Dave

379
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.920
chirping about how his toddler is fluent
in three languages. And it's also why

380
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.119
you'll be smelling pine trees in the
air, not Dave's tuneam melt reheating in

381
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.160
a microwave. So save money by
bundling your RV or boat insurance with homer

382
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.119
Atto from Progressive and buy more happiness
or something close to it. Progressive Casualty

available on States one Nothing Seattle and runners

384
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:04.440
at the corners and here is Cleveland
Zone Dominic cam Zone, And what a

385
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:11.480
moment this is for this young man. Dominic went to Wolfe's Jesuit High school

386
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.880
and then became an Ohio state buck
guy drafted by Arizona, traded here to

387
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:25.559
Seattle. Cam Zone, a left
handed hitter six feet one ninety infield bank

388
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:30.119
double play debt and the pitch and
a curved down, low, nice block

389
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.279
by nailer. Ball kicks out in
front of the plate and it's a big

390
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:40.000
night for him. His mom and
dad are still living back in the Cleveland

391
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:45.279
area. His father, David can
Zone and his mom Amy Mickless. You

392
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:52.000
know how proud they are of their
son. Now the one zero pitch and

393
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.720
he looks at a heater strike in
the count one and one. Seattle got

394
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:04.440
him near the trade debts line last
summer from Arizona. Remember Seattle traded their

395
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:12.160
closer Paul Seawall to Arizona. The
pitch swung on Hammered dudelft center field.

396
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:30.279
This ball is gold. How about
that? The Cleveland kid with a memory

397
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:39.440
that will last a lifetime, a
three run home run to left center against

398
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:45.960
the team he grew up cheering for
Cam Zone's first home run as a Mariner,

399
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:59.440
his first army eyes. Wow,
that's a Hollywood script. Welcome back

400
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:04.279
to Guardian Weekly. Jim Rosenhouse along
with you for our final segment as the

401
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:08.640
Guardians are taking on the Twins this
weekend here at Target Field in Minneapolis.

402
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:15.039
Earlier on the road swing, they
ran into Seattle outfielder Dominic Canzone, who

403
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:19.039
hit a home run in the series
opener there on Monday night, and for

404
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.640
can Zone it was something special.
He's a Cleveland native, went to Walsh

405
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:29.200
Jesuit High School and also Ohio State, so the Cleveland roots run deep.

406
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:34.880
He was a Cleveland Indians fan growing
up, and we'll hear about just how

407
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.640
much of an Indians fan he was
in just a little bit. But he

408
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.759
hit that three run home run to
help lead the Mariners to a win on

409
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:44.839
Monday night. We caught up with
them the following day, and he talked

410
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.319
about how special that was, just
facing the team that he grew up rooting

411
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.240
for for the first time. That
definitely had a huge impact. That was

412
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:57.759
a truly special moment just for me, not just myself, but my family

413
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.599
and friends watching from back home.
Just overall, just a great night and

414
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.640
interesting. We saw you out taking
early batting practice yesterday. Sometimes when you

415
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.679
work on something, it doesn't click
in for an extended period of time,

416
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.559
but it sounded like it clicked right
in for you. Were you working on

417
00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.159
something specific that really helped last night? Uh? Yeah, I was just

418
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:20.840
trying to get get back to the
roots and get on time for the heater,

419
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:24.920
and we did a lot of machine
work with that yesterday before everything kind

420
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.000
of started up. So that was
the biggest thing. Is just yesterday,

421
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.039
just trying to get off a couple
of good swings and try to beat myself.

422
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:36.360
Born and raised Northeast, Ohio and
still live there. How long have

423
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.519
you been back in the day a
Tribe fan and growing up and all that

424
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:43.400
my whole life, My whole life
for sure. I grew up going to

425
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.360
trib games. So yeah, again, it was just great to be able

426
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:51.320
to play against him and just a
privilege really just to have everybody watching from

427
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:55.639
back home. When someone says November
two, twenty sixteen, what does that

428
00:34:55.760 --> 00:35:00.760
mean to you, I'm pretty sure
those games. Yeah, I was at

429
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.880
that game. I was up the
first baseline about the second deck with my

430
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.519
dad, I think a friend or
his, a friend of his or two.

431
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:12.840
And yeah, it was just obviously
it didn't turn out the way that

432
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.800
he wanted, but still just probably
one of the most historical baseball games of

433
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:22.199
all time. When you look at
growing up as a baseball fan, all

434
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.079
of a sudden, you're in high
school and then you have a chance maybe

435
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.519
to go on and play at the
next level. Ohio State is where you

436
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.039
did that. How early did that
come about? And what did it mean

437
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:37.360
to you to be able to play
for the Buckeyes. It was another just

438
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.480
kind of dream come true. Where
I've been a Buckeye fan my whole entire

439
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:43.719
life as well, so grew up
watching all the football games. So that

440
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:45.480
was as soon as they called,
I was on board. It didn't matter

441
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:49.519
what what they could, they could
throw it on my way. I was

442
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.599
going there. So that that was
truly special as well. It works out

443
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.239
you have some time in the major
leagues with Arizona and now is Seattle.

444
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.960
But in the wintertime, you're back
home in northeast Ohio. What's your set

445
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.599
up back there? And then why
do you head back to that part of

446
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:07.719
the country when so many guys will
end up setting up shop near spring trainings

447
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.239
in Florida or Arizona just friends and
family. Really, I just got a

448
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:14.400
place in Cleveland, so just to
be able to spend time with them,

449
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.480
it's really it's really hard to stay
in contact with them, just being on

450
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:21.159
the West Coast most of the year. So whenever I can be home,

451
00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:23.480
I'm more of a homebody. So
I like to be home. And when

452
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:28.880
you look at your opportunity here interesting
somewhere for you and that you would reach

453
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.119
the major leagues with Arizona. But
from your perspective, what did you think

454
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:37.039
of the trade and how's it working
out? Again? At first you're like,

455
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.920
oh, gosh, I I got
to go away from all my buddies.

456
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:45.679
I grew up in the system with
Ale Corbyn, Fletcher, all the

457
00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:49.719
pitchers, Nelson Jamison, So it
was versus like dang, like those are

458
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.639
those are my best friends and most
reliable guys. But at the same time.

459
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:58.199
I knew from a career standpoint,
it was best best for me to

460
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:01.599
go elsewhere, and it definitely worked
out for both sides. Arizona got to

461
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.960
make the World Series, which is
great seeing them, and then from the

462
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:10.280
Mariner's side, just being able to
get some really good pieces offensively. So

463
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.480
it worked out for both sides,
and I'm really just happy it happened.

464
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.840
A nice moment for you last night, for sure. Thanks a lot for

465
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.400
Comby. I appreciate it, appreciate
you guys having me on. Nice to

466
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.800
meet Dominic. Canzona's off to a
good start this season with Seattle as he

467
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:30.480
tries to solidify a spot on a
major league roster this season. That's going

468
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.880
