00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.520
All right, I'm here with the
big sexy Gavin Lux, who is feeling

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.160
sexy these days at the plate.
Thanks a lot for the time, appreciate

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.279
it always for you, Dave.
Oh yeah, it feels like sexy is

4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.599
another word for confidence. You feel
like the confidence is getting back and you're

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.160
trusting what your legs can do for
you. Yeah, I mean, for

6
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:21.600
sure, I think just you know, kind of going over the course of

7
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.719
the year and more at bats,
you get the kind of better you feel,

8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.039
and you start to figure stuff out
in the game. Instead of you

9
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.160
know, using the cage and trying
to figure it out, you kind of

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.479
actually figured it out in the game
and try to figure out your feels whatever

11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.759
it is. So yeah, I
think you know the last price since Philly,

12
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.600
it's been pretty good. So just
keep trying to ride the momentum and

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.079
hopefully you can just keep carrying it
on during the All Star breaks. Since

14
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.439
you are the pride of Kenosha,
Wisconsin, what'd you do? Take the

15
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.640
boat out on Lake Michigan, you
know, take the whole Lux family out

16
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.719
there. No, I actually went
back home where my house is now.

17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.240
I'm not going to stay where in
Wisconsin. But yeah, yeah, and

18
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.719
I just had a cookout a bunch
of my buddies, family, my fiance,

19
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.879
Miley, her family, her friends. So one of those nights that

20
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.519
was good. And then I got
to hit with my uncle, who has

21
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.280
kind of been my hitting coach,
you know, ever since I was a

22
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.200
little kid, So that helped too. And then I think, you know,

23
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.359
just getting a mental reset away from
baseball for a couple of days always

24
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.319
helps. How much custard was served
at the luxe party, No custard,

25
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.359
but a lot of a lot of
beers, brots and burgers. Man,

26
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.599
a lot of that. No,
no custard though, all right, since

27
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.319
Milwaukee is known for the brots.
I actually learned my recipe from my in

28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.840
laws. They're from the same area
that your family's from. They kind of

29
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.599
taught me how to make the brots. Can you give us the lux family

30
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.200
recipe on brots? I don't think
we have one. Man, we just

31
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.280
go to go to the store and
get whatever we see. I don't know,

32
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.120
my family doesn't know how to cook
like that, so I just,

33
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.400
you know, I go get them
from the store and then throw them on

34
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.760
the grill. No, I actually
boil them with beer onions and then put

35
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.879
them on the grill. Get that
char that's fair, that's that's the true

36
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:02.760
Wisconsin way. I can't I can't
claim I do that. I'd be lying

37
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.680
to you. Gavin Lux is our
guest. You talk about the mental reset,

38
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.400
you guys come out of the break
now winning four in a row.

39
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.560
It feels like this team is starting
to get their swagger back. Is that

40
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.400
just coming with the wins or how
you're winning these games? You know,

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.280
I think a little bit of both. Going into the break. Obviously we

42
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.800
lost a couple of tough ones that
we probably you know, wish we had

43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.639
back. But I mean baseball is
just it's so up and down, and

44
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.759
you know, I think even you
know, people thought like, oh,

45
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:32.120
it's the end of the world,
and I look at the standings and we're

46
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.199
still eight games up and you know, twenty wins over five hundred, so

47
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.919
it's never as bad as you think
it is. And yeah, I think,

48
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.159
you know, we gotta have a
couple of good wins against the Red

49
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.919
Sox where we came back and fought
our ass off to to win those ones.

50
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.360
And then even yesterday Tayo with three
huge hits, and you know,

51
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.280
just little things like that over the
course of the year. You just try

52
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.199
to keep saying to like ride the
wave, and I think you know,

53
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.639
our team's doing that and we're gonna
get healthy at the right time and then

54
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.199
hopefully just keep rolling like that.
Gavin Luck that's what he's been doing,

55
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.360
fighting his ass off every day.
Yeah, and out here. You're out

56
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.400
here every day since the beginning of
spring training trying to get better. Can

57
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:14.560
you describe the level of accountability you
have for yourself and your teammates have for

58
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.319
each other. Yeah, I think
you know, no one's harder on ourselves

59
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.120
than we are internally as you know, individual players, so you know we

60
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.400
as a team. I think you
know, the work ethic is contagious.

61
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.919
I mean, you look out on
the field every day. Keyk's out of

62
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.879
her early, Mooki's out of here
early. Vargie and Pahes are out here

63
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.120
like everyone's out here early, getting
getting stuff done. And you know,

64
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.360
I think you look around the league
and not every team is like that.

65
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.840
So I think just the work ethic
is contagious, and I think we just

66
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.479
kind of feed off that from each
other. All right, Kevin, thanks

67
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.639
a lot for the time, appreciate
it. You're dripping sweat before first pitch.

68
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.719
You got a game tonight and look
how much work you put in already

69
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.800
already, when every day, baby, when every day love it, Gavin

70
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.560
Lux is winning the day. Thanks
a lot for the time, and you

71
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.199
know we're always rooting for you,
always, guy,
