WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.240
You're listening to the downbeat the street
tis you're a friendly neighborhood down beat.

2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.039
It's nine oh seven in the morning. It's Kevin fer Dannabelle's Mikes, Aroy

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.280
Men and skin Out at Texas Live
Today or eight any shadow of Globe Life

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.760
Field. As it is opening day
in Major League Baseball. You're fighting CHAMPI

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.079
and Texas Rangers. These guys both
have Texas Rangers hats on. I feel

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:33.759
naked without one. Danny has the
new goldlined Championship one. Kevin's got the

7
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.479
baby blue old one that I bet
smells like gas station sushi. If I

8
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.159
took a whiff of that thing,
who's playing sushi at A guess, I'm

9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.439
not gonna smell it. I will
not smell your hat. So, man,

10
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.039
we're psyched. We talked, talked
a bunch of baseball today. Kevin

11
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.840
got us kind of fired up for
a Wyatt Langford among others. The new

12
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.640
faces you'll see in Ranger outfits uh
as the season gets under So we're psych

13
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.200
man. It's good times in DFW, and we are very psyched right now

14
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.719
to welcome a very special baseball guest. He is a World Series champions World

15
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.120
series MVP. Damn it, he's
a two time sy Young Award winner.

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.640
His name is Tom Glavin. A
happy Opening Day, mister Glavin. How

17
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.799
are you doing? Yeah? Good? A complaying day? Do you guys?

18
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.760
Special day? Man? I think
you got two of these two opening

19
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.519
days starts, maybe more, I
don't know. You guys had a bit

20
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.359
of a good rotation on most of
the teams you were on, so you

21
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.519
kind of had to share the wealth. But how special is Opening Day for

22
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.560
the picture that is climbing the mound
on said day? I mean, it's

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.640
a great honor, you know.
I know the first time I did it,

24
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.760
I wasn't sure whether I deserved it
or not. You know, I

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.599
was still young, and we weren't
very good. But and I don't know

26
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.519
if it was we had nobody else
to do it, or if I earned

27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.680
it, But nonetheless I enjoyed it, and then you know, subsequent years

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.359
after that, it's it's an honor. I mean, look at you always.

29
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.359
You know, there's there's an honor
of the opening day pitcher. And

30
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.280
to your point, you know,
we had some rotations obviously in some of

31
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.080
those years where any one of the
guys could have been the opening day starter,

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.960
so you know, it didn't mean
you were the number one so to

33
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.680
speak. It you know, usually
for us, you know, it was

34
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.759
kind of like, well, who
won the Cy Young Award last year?

35
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.479
Okay, so you can you can
be the opening day pitcher this year.

36
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.000
That was kind of the way it
went for a little while, which was

37
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.000
kind of fun. But you know, it's just, uh, it's a

38
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.800
great honor, you know, to
be able to run out there opening day

39
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.680
day one of the season and and
kind of lead the troops out. You

40
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.520
know, it's it's it's a special
feeling, I imagine, So is it

41
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.840
Bobby Cox back in the day?
Was it? And you kind of wait

42
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.599
one day and they call you in
and say you're gonna be our guy this

43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.919
year. You know what, I'm
not sure exactly how it went. I

44
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:49.599
don't know if it was he told
us, or you know, we heard

45
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.039
it about it from reporters or you
know, a lot of times you could

46
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.400
figure out at the start of spring
training what the rotation was in the beginning

47
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.120
forcing of spring training, and then
and you know kind of kind of count

48
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.280
the days forward going into the April
whenever your opening day was and kind of

49
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.919
figure out who was going to be
the opening day starter or something. Everybody

50
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.199
stayed healthy through the spring. But
you know, like I said, I

51
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.240
think for us it was just in
any given year, it was just you

52
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.039
know, whoever's opportunity it was to
go out and do it, and then

53
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.319
we all we all had to be
number ones after that. We talked about

54
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.879
this a little earlier in the show
today about how today is day one of

55
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.039
one sixty two. You know,
you get through opening Day and all the

56
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.080
excitement and everything, and then you
wake up tomorrow you have another one hundred

57
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.159
and sixty one of these suckers to
go. You've played twenty two years.

58
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.960
Was there ever a point or maybe
was there ever a point in your career

59
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.800
where you woke up one day and
realized that the grind was something that you

60
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.280
really knew that you were going to
feel and may not be as excited about

61
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.479
it as you were as maybe the
first three or four, five six years

62
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.719
of your career, when you're young
and excited and just happy to be there.

63
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.919
Did that ever happen for you?
And if so, when would that

64
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.599
that point have been in your career? You know, I mean, I

65
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.280
think it's inevitable that if you play
long enough, it's going to happen,

66
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.680
you know. I mean, yeah, there's always excitement around opening day,

67
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.519
right, and then you know,
to your point. Then the next day

68
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.959
is I don't want to say it's
a letdown, but it's you know,

69
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.360
you're okay. Now the routine starts
and you to your point again, one

70
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.160
hundred and sixty one more of these
here we go, and you you know,

71
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.519
opening day is all about opening day, and you're focused on the moment.

72
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.360
And then I think day two you
start to I think envision a little

73
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.600
bit more of the marathon. You're
getting ready to start, and you know

74
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.879
what that entails and what that's going
to be. And you know it's a

75
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.120
little bit chopped up at the start
of the season because you know you'll have

76
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.480
you'll have your home opener, and
then there's a chance you're going to go

77
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.600
on the road and have at least
one opener on the road and sometimes maybe

78
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.439
two openers on the road. So
you know all the pump and circumstance that

79
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.959
goes around the home openers every time
you do it, I mean it it

80
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.279
bumps into your routine, you know, So it's hard to get into that

81
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.519
routine. So I know there's a
part of that too, where the guys

82
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.319
are kind of chomping to get into
their routine and the daily flow of what's

83
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.319
going on and not all the pomp
and circumstances around opening day. But you

84
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.519
know, yeah, you settle in
and I think, like I said,

85
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.839
you start to look at the marathon
and look, there are years where you're

86
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.800
like, oh my god, at
least for me, like I said,

87
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.519
when you play twenty two years,
there's going to be a time or two

88
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.600
where you're like, oh God,
here we go again. It's a long

89
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.199
season. Maybe you're you didn't feel
great coming out of spring training physically,

90
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.399
you're a little banged up, and
you're like, oh my goodness, how

91
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.079
am I going to get through this? And so yeah, there are times.

92
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.680
But you know, I think that's
depending on who you talk to,

93
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.519
that's the good or the bad of
baseball, right It's I think that that

94
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:56.560
marathon is what makes it pretty special
because generally speaking, it you know,

95
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.199
it makes the cream rise to the
top, and generally speaking, teams win

96
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.199
their division and get to the playoffs
every year have earned it. This is

97
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.480
two times Cy Young Award winner Tom
Glavin joining US. Now he'll be at

98
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:13.519

Invited Celebrity Classic dot com slash tickets.

101
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.199
Tom. How much are you tracking
all the goings on in baseball? I

102
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.279
know you got a kiddo that's a
you know, in the miners, and

103
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.839
you know, obviously the Braves one
of the favorites in the National League.

104
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.079
We here defending the our first championship
here in Texas. We've got baseball fever,

105
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.959
how much are you tracking the goings
on in MLB? And are you

106
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.759
what are your thoughts on the Rangers
upcoming season? You know, I would

107
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.759
say, I'm you know, overall, I'm a casual fan. I mean,

108
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.720
I obviously know what's going on with
the Braves because you know, I'm

109
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.240
I'm I work for them, I
broadcast for them, so you know,

110
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.879
I'm familiar with them. You know, as far as the rest of the

111
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.000
sport goes, Listen, I'm I'm
familiar with all the people that everybody else

112
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.560
is familiar with. Uh, you
know, I'll watch some games from time

113
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.639
to time, and uh, you
know, I'll probably hopefully watch some Ranger

114
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.319
games this year if mister de Grom
can stay healthy and get on the mind,

115
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.759
because I love watching him pitch.
But you know, it's I would

116
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.639
say, I'm kind of, like
I said, I'm kind of a casual

117
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.360
fan. I know enough to be
dangerous. But you know, listen,

118
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.759
I think that's you know, the
Rangers situation. You know, an exciting

119
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.439
time, right You're you won a
World Series. Now you've got to come

120
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.800
back and try to do it again. Uh, you got to some extent

121
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.279
proved that last year wasn't a fluke, you know. And I know for

122
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.680
me and my situation, you know, we didn't. We didn't come off

123
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.800
of a World Series championship the first
time we had success, you know,

124
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.639
in ninety one, we went to
the World Series and lost. Uh,

125
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:55.439
And I remember coming back that next
year and feeling the pressure and the weight

126
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.480
of expectations, and you know,
that's that's a hard thing some times to

127
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.319
deal with for the first time.
You know. I know for the Rangers,

128
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.279
it's going to be every series,
every every every night, team is

129
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.399
going to be playing their best against
the Rangers because they're the World Series champs,

130
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.600
and they want to see how they
measure up. So I think that

131
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.439
was an adjustment coming in for us
that next year after we had had some

132
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.519
success, and certainly after winning the
World Series. But listen, I think

133
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.480
that's to me, that's one of
the things that makes baseball so great,

134
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:30.879
right. Every year, every year
there's a team or two that nobody really

135
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.960
had on the radar screen that makes
a splash and maybe even wins the World

136
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.159
Series. And you know, I
think Texas was certainly the Rangers were one

137
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.159
of those teams last year. I
don't know how many people, if any,

138
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.279
had picked them to go to the
World Series, let alone win it,

139
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.879
but they did. And that's where
I think makes our sports so great,

140
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.799
is that seems to happen every year. Yeah, we were certainly surprised,

141
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.279
pleasantly surprised because they weren't playing great
toward the end of the year and

142
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.759
then bam, they just kind of
dominated in the world or in the playoffs.

143
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.279
It was surprising. But even that
said, they are the defending champs

144
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.039
and if you look at odds,
people have them at seventh eighth something like

145
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.879
that. Best odds to win the
World Series. Plus we were just talking.

146
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.320
We have I think the top two
candidates in uh Evan Carter and Wyat

147
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.240
Langford to win AL Rookie of the
Year. So generally speaking, you'd think

148
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.559
the defending champ with the top two
Rookie of the Year candidates either being added

149
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.279
or continuing on in the case of
Evan Carter, would be a pretty scary

150
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.759
team. But the vibe I think
around MLB is, you know, not

151
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.000
a fluke, but you know,
hey, they won, but they're not

152
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.720
ready to go on some sort of
big run that obviously we all hope.

153
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.159
You do you feel like that's that's
accurate. I mean it's probably the case,

154
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.279
right. I think for a lot
of people it's probably yeah, they

155
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.320
won last year, but show me
again, right, And I think that

156
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.720
when you look at when you look
around baseball, and I don't I don't

157
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.399
say this with any disrespect, but
you know, are there are there a

158
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.240
couple of maybe sexier teams on paper? Yeah, probably the Brave, certainly

159
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.080
the Dodgers. You know, with
all the splashes the Dodgers made this offseason,

160
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.840
you know, it's hard not to
notice them, right, It's hard

161
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.840
not to look at them and say, oh, they're going to be,

162
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.960
you know, they're going to be
a formidable team. I think obviously with

163
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.879
the Braves last year, you know, they were about as big a luck

164
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.399
as anybody that I can remember in
terms of people favoring them to win a

165
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.639
World Series, and rightly so,
and they came up short. Now this

166
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.879
year, pretty pretty much the same
team. They added to the roster,

167
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.720
you know, brought and Chris Sale. We'll see how healthy he can stay.

168
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.559
But you know, certainly a team
that I think you would look at

169
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.080
from last year this year and say, well, yeah, they've got as

170
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.799
good a chance to win this year
as they did last year, maybe better

171
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.080
with some maturity and Spencer Strider and
some of their young guys. So you

172
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.360
know, I think that's kind of
where it comes from. But that's where

173
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.960
you know, as a Rangers team, you know, you almost use that

174
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.720
disrespect so to speak to your advantage. Right It's like, Okay, you

175
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.679
think what we did last year,
you know, maybe was a fluke,

176
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.240
or you don't quite think that we're
as good a team. Okay, you

177
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.120
know, we'll quietly put that in
our back pocket and we'll prove you wrong.

178
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.200
And I think sometimes that's that's as
great a motivator in baseball as anything.

179
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.600
Now you know that you're joining us
because you're going to be at the

180
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.000
Invited Celebrity Classic. Before we get
to a couple of golf questions, I

181
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.080
know you're a Northeastern man. You
know where you're from. I do have

182
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.080
to ask New England clam chowder or
lobster bisk if you had to choose one,

183
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.759
you know, big decision. What
would it be? Oh? You

184
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.679
know what, It'd be hard because
I'm I'm not a sheeatfood guy, so

185
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.200
I probably if I had to have
one, I'd probably have the clam chowder.

186
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.320
I'd probably like clams a little bit
better than lobster. But give me

187
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.759
a cheeseburger instead. She chose neitherburger
chowder. Said all right. We made

188
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.279
a bet earlier on because we're kind
of golf obsessed a couple of us,

189
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:56.519
maybe more so than baseball. So
settle this bet. How many times has

190
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:03.559
Tom Glavin played AUGUSTA National? I
have played it. Let's see, I

191
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.519
think one. I've played it four
times. They're a total of yeah,

192
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.159
total of three times. One time
I stayed over and played two rounds,

193
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.120
So yeah, four times total more
times I think we said four four times.

194
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.360
I think we set the over under
at four. Okay, how does

195
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.720
that work? I always wondered this. So you're you're playing for the Braves,

196
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.879
you're a good player, You're a
golfer, and I know Smoltzy is

197
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.960
a massive golfer. I'm sure Maddox
was to how does how does the first

198
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.519
trip to Augusta happened? You ask
someone, because I've always heard this,

199
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.919
even if you know someone who's a
member of Augusta, the key don't ask,

200
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.799
never ask to play. They know
you want to play. If you

201
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.159
ask, that's what's going to screw
you. Any truth to any of this,

202
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.240
I think there's some. Yes.
I know the first time I played,

203
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.559
I was doing some kind of charity
event over in Augusta and and part

204
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.159
of the hook to get me there
was to play Augusta. So I was

205
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.960
like, hell, yeah, I'll
do that. So that, uh,

206
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.840
that worked out well. But yeah, I you know, I had a

207
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.919
friend of mine that had had a
friend that was a member over there,

208
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.559
so that was kind of my invite
from time to time. But I remember

209
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.879
one time I went over. The
one time I went over and I stayed,

210
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.679
I was we were having dinner.
And I remember the person that I

211
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.480
was with saw his son there and
his son was having dinner and he made

212
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.519
a comment like, oh, he's
going to get a letter. He's going

213
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.720
to be in trouble. Like,
what do you mean he's going to be

214
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.919
in trouble. He's like, Oh, he's been over here three weekends in

215
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.240
a row. The club doesn't like
that. I'm like, what do you

216
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.919
mean? Like, well, you
know, we have our members, but

217
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.879
we don't like him to play too
much. And I was like, oh,

218
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.559
okay, that's kind of odd,
but okay, you know I get

219
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.960
it. But yeah, i'll tell
you I played. The first time I

220
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.440
played, it was fantastic, But
it wasn't until I went back the second

221
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.000
time where I really realized how spectacular
it was and not a blade of grass

222
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.519
out of place. And that's the
only place I've ever been where I was

223
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.720
scared to death on the driving range
taking bibbits because I thought, oh my

224
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.240
god, they're going to kick me
out of here if I say too big

225
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.600
a divots so's it's an intimidating place. That's amazing. Yeah, I'm obsessed.

226
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.399
So you're kind of our friend,
and you have a friend who has

227
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.960
a friend that's a member, is
what I'm here? Yeah, exactly,

228
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.759
Yeah, yeah, this is close
i've ever been, guys. All right,

229
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.600
So you're coming to town for the
Invited Celebrity Classics. This is a

230
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.840
nationally televised PGA Tour champions event seventy
eight PGA pros, forty sports and entertainment

231
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.279
stars. Have you did you play
last year? Have you played this in

232
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.360
the past? I did not play
last year. I played in some of

233
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.360
the other ones that they have during
the course of the year, but I

234
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.639
have not played in this one yet. I'm looking forward to it, all

235
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.320
right. So we've got Romo,
we got Smoltz in this Pudge, who

236
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.120
are you smoking? Larry the Cable
Guy, and an Alfonso Roberto at least,

237
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.879
how are we gonna? Are we
gonna win this thing? I mean,

238
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.320
I don't you know, I'm not
gonna. I'm not going there not

239
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.000
setting my sights on winning. But
at the same time, I think I

240
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.480
had to be realistic. There have
to be a lot of things go well

241
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.639
for me for three days to be
in contention. I think, you know,

242
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.240
top ten is probably a better goal
for me realistically, certainly trying to

243
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:11.480
beat spots is probably my goal number
one a behind winning. So yeah,

244
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.399
I mean, I feel good about
my game, so it's just a matter

245
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.879
of bringing it out in a tournament
format, which is not always easy.

246
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.840
You perform well in this, you
never know what could happen. You might

247
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.000
get the call from the Live Tour
and be a billionaire. Yeah, I'd

248
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.039
probably take that call. Yeah,
of course you'll love it, dud.

249
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.879
Last, Clena's Country Club is in
beautiful shape and the weather here at least

250
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.440
for now, is perfect, So
you're gonna have a good time, no

251
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.039
doubt. All Right, I have
one last question for the great Tom Glavin.

252
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.080
The date was August tenth, nineteen
ninety five, Fulton County Stadium the

253
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.159
place. What happened? I just
tenth nineteen? Did I hit my only

254
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.080
home run? John Smiley? You
hit your only home run? Oh?

255
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.840
Yes, opposite field? No less? You want opo off Smiley? Nice?

256
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.840
I did? Yees? Yeah,
and I didn't. I didn't really

257
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.440
get to enjoy it much because I
didn't think it was going out. I

258
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.480
thought it was going to hit off
the wall. So when I got the

259
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.559
second base, it was kind of
like, oh my god, that went

260
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.799
over the time You're just sprinting towards
second and you're like, what do I

261
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.840
do now? I slowed down?
I slowed down? Now, yeah I

262
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.960
had I had the Scott and rolling
home run trot. I was sprinting around

263
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.639
the base like okay, slow down? Hell yeah, all right, Tom,

272
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:55.919
time born in Massachusetts on award winner
not a seafood Yeah, interesting, it

273
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.519
happens. It happens. I know
people born in Texas that don't like spicy

274
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.400
food. They're not friends of mine. No, I hate that Texas not

275
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.400
the beacon place of spicy food.
It's just a home of spicy food.

276
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:12.240
I'm not challenging. You just did. Let's talk about like some spicy Indian

277
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:18.559
food. You know that's where like
that's I don't know. Wasn't Glavin drafted?

278
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.519
Yeah, it's cool he was drafted
in the NHL, wasn't he Yeah?

279
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.720
He was an eighty four Yeah,
drafted ahead of Brett Hall and Luke

280
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.920
Robatie in the eighty four NHL draft. That's wild. Isn't that cool?

281
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.759
His kid's twenty five and is pitching
in the Nationals organization. He's on the

282
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.880
entre list. He had twenty five
year old. He does seem like the

283
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.960
guy who baseball was a job.
I love that. I'll stay involved.

284
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:48.319
I'll do some broadcasting. But he's
a very casual, you know, that

285
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.960
hardcore baseball lifer. I could have
whipped him so bad with more golf stuff

286
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.759
a corner. What did you guys
to go to golf? Earlier in the

287
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:02.359
interview, I know Danny was doing
doing Golfling cares about baseball. Gosh,

288
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.000
Danny loves the PGA Tour because they
would bring wouldn't they bring their bat their

289
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.119
clubs on the team plane. You
know it and their pictures. Was dressed

290
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.640
up and sit there at seven tonight's
the job. I don't have anything hit.

291
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.640
Yes, and wherever you are,
you got a liaison or somebody that

292
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.279
calls like, guess what I Smoltson
Glavin would love to play your course at

293
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.279
every course of league. Yes,
of course we watch on Smoltsen Tom Glavin.

294
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.039

life. That's what we need them

295
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.240
to think when Kevio and Shale call, we need to win some cy Young

296
