We'll 13 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.599 also visit with Raphael Collins, who is part of the Community to Impact team 14 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.400 for the Guardians and he was part of a great trip for the RBI Softball 15 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.359 girls who were in the RBI World Series down in Florida last week. But 16 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.120 first a quick look at the week on buy and it's been a short week 17 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.280 with a couple of off days, one scheduled one of postponement, but a 18 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.319 two game series down in Since and Ddy. The Guardians won the opener behind 19 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.120 Logan Allen shutout, pitching a three nothing victory before dropping the second game in 20 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.599 Cincinnati, and then after coming up short in the first game of a twin 21 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.240 bill on Friday night against the Tigers. The Guardians were trailing late one nothing 22 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.759 eighth inning. That is when they were able to come from behind, thanks 23 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.400 first to Brian Rokyo with the game tying hit one nothing Tigers first and second 24 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.240 for Cleveland. One out in the eighth, the one two pitch a swing 25 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.400 in a liner back up the middle, Bay sit in the center Gonzalis around 26 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:42.639 third scores the tying run. So Brian Rokio made an adjustment. They shortened 27 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.879 that swing and hit a liner up the middle and the may sit to center 28 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.000 ties the ball game at one. And now you've got to find a way 29 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.080 to win this game. Right here in the eighth and after Rocchio's hit, 30 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.319 it was Will Brennan who came up big sis Naril. He's ready here it 31 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.199 comes swung in and ritt in a deep center field. This ball's over the 32 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.879 head of Feeling, pangs up against the wall. It'll score Calhoun and Rocchio 33 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.639 and a two run double to deep center off to bed of Will Brennan and 34 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.800 the Guardians have a three to one lead. Oh what an't it bed for 35 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.319 Will Brennan and he pounds a two run double over the head of Feeling in 36 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.000 center. It's a nice win for the Guardians in the nightcap of the double 37 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.520 header to salvage a split heading into Game three of the series on Saturday night 38 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.319 with a seven ten first pitch well. One of the keys offensively a year 39 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.159 ago for the Guardians was certainly second baseman andre c Minnez. He's had moments 40 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.759 this season, but been kind of up and down. Last weekend, though, 41 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.599 down in Saint Pete against the Rays, he was red hot. Had 42 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.560 an eight hit weekend, including four on Sunday. We caught up with him 43 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.840 after that and he talked about what has helped him lately get locked in at 44 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.240 the plate. Tampito I felt like what you mentioned, this year has been 45 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.439 kind of like a roller coaster, but I feel in reality this is different 46 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.160 with this series, was that the results were kind of like a little bit 47 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.560 in our side, the lot was on our side. But in general it's 48 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.839 the same preparation, the same routines that we've been doing the whole year. 49 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.560 So obviously that help us a little bit to get the results you wanted. 50 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.279 But as you mentioned, there's definitely has been a roller coaster. Has it 51 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:40.040 been a real positive learning experience though? About you know, the ups and 52 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.160 downs of the game that can be really challenging, see Clara, to everyone, 53 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.720 important to always take it as a as a learning experience. You know, 54 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.920 the most importantly that it doesn't only happen to me, happens to a 55 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.240 lot of players. And obviously the important part of these learning experiences if you 56 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.680 made the mouth of it, if you try to learn from them and use 57 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.759 them not only for this year but also for my career. So I think, 58 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.160 you know, it's very important to to get all those lessons and make 59 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.759 it as a good learning experience. The team offensively had a good weekend too 60 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.680 without Jose Ramirez, and I know that can be difficult because he means so 61 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.959 much to this lineup. But but why do you think things clicked in offensively 62 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.279 as a team over the weekend? Siller like okay, kay, efficient as 63 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.199 many more. I think we're recognized not having him in the lineup. Ramiers 64 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:29.439 is obviously something that each one of us had to take take up a little 65 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.759 bit of responsibility. So that's why I felt like what worked. Everybody felt 66 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.160 like they had to pinch in a little bit more of their offensive responsibilities knowing 67 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.120 that we didn't have Ramiers as we know, as a leader of this offense. 68 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.040 So I felt like the conclusion was that we had to put it together 69 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.040 and contribute something else as an offense as a group. So I felt that's 70 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.959 what happened this series. Andre is some tremendous plays defensively. You have a 71 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:57.000 gold glob already, but it seems like this year you become even stronger defensively 72 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.120 with a challenge. How how has the shift or lack of shifts impacted how 73 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:10.839 you play defense and what you can do? See sinto sin Yeah, I 74 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.519 always just being kind of an adjustment, you know, being without the shifts. 75 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.040 I particularly liked the shift defensively because it allowed me to play in places 76 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.639 that I wasn't too used to playing before, and that kind of like make 77 00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.519 a little more fun because you know, a some pow in the outfield trying 78 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.879 to make plays. I always, you know, keep me in my toes 79 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199 because I was on my natural position. So it's been an adjustment. I 80 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.399 can have to acknowledge that it's been more difficult, but at the same time, 81 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.160 it's just it's just what the game is offering, and and it's been 82 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.160 an adjustment so far. But we're getting resolved, but I recognize it's been 83 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.959 a difficult adjustment. A couple of new double play partners here after the trade 84 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.639 deadline with Brian Rokio Gabriel Arius. What are you seeing in them as they 85 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.959 get deeper into their major league careers? No, okays, I'm moving. 86 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.079 It's very gratifying to see them playing did the position. You know, I've 87 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.720 been very lucky my career, throughout my career to play with people who who 88 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.160 played the short supposit showing very well. You know, they have that street 89 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.480 smooth movement in them, So I feel like it's very nice to see those 90 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:13.519 that nature of movement in them, both in areas and Rocky and especially that 91 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.839 we've been able to put that play together at the right time, at the 92 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.360 right moment, helping the team. So I feel it's been really special, 93 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:23.000 and most importantly also the fact that they're Venezuelans, so that's an extra sense 94 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.839 of probabe for me being able to play with them and making a really good 95 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.839 place for them, helping the team as well. Andrea is always good to 96 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.079 Abby along. Thanks for the visit, Thank you, Ague, thank you, 97 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.720 thank you guys, and it's always big thanks to Agie Rivero for the 98 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.439 translation help with andre C Menez. Another player that we had a chance to 99 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.279 visit with this week is starting pitcher Noah Syndergard. It's been an interesting watch 100 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:53.480 as Syndergard tries to recapture some of his past success when he was a hard 101 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.120 thrower in the Mets organization, burst on the scene in the big leagues and 102 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.199 help New York to a World Series back in twenty five team but he had 103 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.199 Tommy John surgery not too long after that and has a hard time, or 104 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.319 has had a hard time, getting the good velocity back. He's four starts 105 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.680 into his Cleveland career, and he's had a couple of good starts a couple 106 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.399 of frustrating ones, but he says the transition has been smooth and he's glad 107 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.439 to be a part of the Guardians organization. I think just the idea itself 108 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.480 of having just a clean slate, fresh faces, just you know, just 109 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.679 being in a new environment. It's really helps kind of put my mind in 110 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.759 a better place. When you look back to the last season, you've been 111 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.080 with four different organizations. Now, how difficult is it to go through the 112 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.679 things that are helpful for you and maybe discard things that are and when when 113 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.559 you're probably hearing a lot of different things along the way just because you've changed 114 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.559 organizations. You know, it's just funny how things work out that way. 115 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.440 Whoever's running the universe or whoever's running the simulation. Sure, right now, 116 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.200 I could always been my dream to ever since I step foot a daughter stadium 117 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.080 to play there, and you know, that's just kind of unfortunate. Didn't 118 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.639 make the most of my opportunity I was there. But whoever's running the universe 119 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.240 or whatever it is behind all this is had a had a better idea than 120 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.879 I think. I would definitely agree to space off the with the last two 121 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.799 weeks that I've been here. I think this is ultimately what I'm supposed to 122 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.480 be. It sounds like you feel you can get back to how you were 123 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.080 when you first broke in and even despite the injury, you feel that still 124 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.960 in there for you if you can unlock certain things. Yeah, I mean, 125 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.240 because there's just not a whole lot of answers as to pointing why I 126 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.240 would be stuff like this, Like I'm only thirty years old. I take 127 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.399 care of my body probably to the best of any athletes around in all sports. 128 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.360 You know, a big dude. So I think that definitely helps with 129 00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.600 with durability and health and longevity. And it's just like I as soon as 130 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:07.879 I had surgery, I was super excited and encouraged almost because I have an 131 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.799 opportunity like no other to the twelve to eighteen months to really address some issues. 132 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.399 And instead of just like staying the same and focus on what made me 133 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.120 really good, I tried to change everything. And now it's just like almost 134 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.720 like I've forgotten who the old version of me was. And now like I've 135 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.200 been all throughout the United States, different teams, I've been with, different 136 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.039 coaches, and you see, like a lot of these this new methodology of 137 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.480 teaching pitching, and it's like a lot of sitting down the mound, like 138 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:48.840 all this vertical shin angle crap and hinging and riding the slope and all this 139 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.440 different stuff. And I'm like, that might work for some guy that's six 140 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.559 foot hypermobile has to create a lot on the mound to do a lot, 141 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:05.919 whereas me, I just relied on big levers, power, explosiveness, twitchiness. 142 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.120 I wasn't like a big rotational guy. I was. They live that. 143 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.120 So now you look at the delivery, they're just completely different things. 144 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.159 So I think if it's like if I had the same delivery and I was 145 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:24.639 this kind of product, and then I'd be I have to shift my mindset 146 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:30.720 then again, whereas like, but like obviously I'm not moving the way I 147 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.799 used to. So if I can get back to there, then I don't 148 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.919 know. If throw one hundred again in the right of my life, that's 149 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:41.039 fine, But I just I want to like be able to compete against the 150 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.919 guys with the bat, not myself on the mount, because that's what I 151 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.080 feel right now because I know that my body is not It's like, this 152 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.720 is not how you're just supposed to deliver a pitch. It's it's fascinating watching 153 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.240 you trying to get to a good spot and I know that it's gone well 154 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.919 results why I since joining the ball club. Thanks not for coming by and 155 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.480 sharing, of course, thank you. It is the always interesting Noah synderguard 156 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.480 talking about where he's been, where he's trying to get to and whether he 157 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.759 can make that happen. Here are these last six weeks or so of the 158 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.360 baseball season. Stay with us. When we come back, we'll talk RBI 159 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.039 program. The girls softball team was in the RBI World Series. That's next 160 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:24.720 with Raphael Collins after this. Baseball, basketball, pickleball. Those are sports 161 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.000 and people love sports. If you love sports, you should know this. 162 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.240 Drivers who switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds to saving of anything to 163 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:37.080 do with sports. No, the people love sports. So I'm yelling sports 164 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.759 out hockey, swimming, golf, not all sports of the word ball in 165 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.720 there. So save bid when you switch to Progressive those sports teams, Progressive 166 00:12:46.759 --> 00:13:09.279 Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates. Potential savings will vary. Welcome back to Guardians 167 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.080 Weekly, Jim Rosenhouse back with you from Progressive Field, Downtown Cleveland. Guardians 168 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.799 and Tigers playing this weekend. Then the Dodgers come in on Tuesday for a 169 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.799 three games series. So good stuff on this homestand and good stuff for the 170 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.320 RBI program and the girls senior softball team that's fourteen to eighteen years of age. 171 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.480 They played in the RBI World Series down in Virero Beach, Florida last 172 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.399 week. Rafael Collins was on site. He's the assistant director of Community Impact 173 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.879 and Diversity Initiatives for the Guardians, and he filled us in on that softball 174 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.559 team and why they had so much fun down in Vireau Beach. Yeah, 175 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.840 so our senior softball team here from Cleveland, travel Dona, Vio Beach, 176 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.240 Florida. They stayed at the Jackie Robinson Complex, which was historic Dodgertown where 177 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.440 Jackie actually broke the colored berries. So his first games play was at this 178 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.320 facility during spring training. And our girls competed against eight other really really worthy, 179 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.399 good teams across the country, so not just here in the US, 180 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.840 but also in Hawaii. Also the Dominican Republic had representatives as well. And 181 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.039 when you talk about the RBI World Series, how difficult is it to make 182 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.519 it? How many steps do they have? To pass and tournaments to win 183 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.200 things like that just to get there. Our program is really strong, So 184 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.559 not just our senior softball team, but all of our RBI teams. They 185 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.240 go through a fall they play fallball, they do indoor winter workouts here at 186 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.440 the ballpark. In the spring, we let them go back to their schools 187 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.039 and playing. Then in the summer they practice and they play every single week 188 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.519 of the summer. And so all that is kind of geared up to an 189 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.639 RBI regional tournament, which for us was played in Chicago, Illinois, in 190 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.399 the middle of July. Our girls went into the championship game. There's a 191 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.240 number one seed. We actually did not win that game, but they proved 192 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.519 enough to make it to the World Series and so it represented the Midwest region 193 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.200 along with the Cincinnati Reds, and they were one of the eight teams to 194 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.480 survive the thirty plus teams across the country to go to Vero Beach. With 195 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:11.480 all the things that Cleveland Guardians Charities does, if it didn't exist and that 196 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.720 connection with the RBI program, would this even beyond the radar for these kids? 197 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.960 You know, it's hard to say. So. One of the reasons 198 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.559 why we do this program is because it benefits a lot of people, especially 199 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.759 inner city youth. So when we think about the underserve, we want to 200 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.200 make sure that the resources that we get, the resources that MLB provides us, 201 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.159 the resources that Cleveland Guardians Charities provides, it benefits the people who need 202 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.759 it the most. And we think about that. A lot of it comes 203 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.879 from our our Cleveland Metropolitan School District kids, and so we try to fill 204 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.679 our rosters as much as we can with CMSD kids. And again, these 205 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.480 are kids that you know, we've heard from them and we've heard from their 206 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:54.200 parents that this program helps them to play baseball or softball. They wouldn't be 207 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.399 doing it without the help of us, and we're happy to do it rapt 208 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.600 Next week it's the give Athon all part of CLA Inspires Week August the twenty 209 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.480 third, when the Guardians are taking on the Dodgers. How big a night 210 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.799 is that when you're looking to do some things later on for the RBI program. 211 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.759 This is really big for us. So Wednesday's game will be our largest 212 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:18.360 fundraisers for the year. The money that we raise directly benefits programs just like 213 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.879 RBI. We carry sixty kids, twelve coaches, and we try to give 214 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.519 them the experience that no one else can provide until this game goes a long 215 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.000 long way, and making sure that we can raise money to support the kids. 216 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.240 What are some of the things that we'll see that's different from a regular 217 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.600 game night. Yeah, so differ from regular game night, you'll see throughout 218 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.399 the course of the game, we'll have a lot of different things where fans 219 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.759 can kind of call in. If you're actually at the game, you can 220 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.480 stop buy our tables on the main concourse and been on different auction items. 221 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.200 You'll see different things online. Some of the kind of cool things that will 222 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.000 be announced throughout the course of the day is last year we had a few 223 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.320 different players make a couple of different donations which was kind of cool. So 224 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:02.879 Josh Naylor actually helped contribute funds to cover our RBI uniforms this year for our 225 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.200 teams. And so there's a lot of really really good fun things that if 226 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.920 you're at the ballpark around around the concourse, you'll see a lot of different 227 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.240 tables set up. Stop by any one of them. If you're not at 228 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.400 the game, you can go online. You can follow us on cili Inspires. 229 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.519 On a day on August twenty third. There'll be a lot of opportunities 230 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.799 for you to check out how to give and again that is next Wednesday to 231 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.640 give Athon, part of a ton of things going on as part of cili 232 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.200 Inspires Week. Rockael Collins, thanks a lot for coming by. I imagine 233 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.440 you've had a fun time heading down to Florida with the with the softball team. 234 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.400 But we appreciate everything you do to thank you. Thanks, Rosy, 235 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.359 appreciate you. That's Rafael Collins, the assistant director of Community Impact and Diversity 236 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:51.240 Initiatives for the Guardians. A lot of good stuff happening and continuing to happen 237 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.480 as part of the RBI program and Cleveland Guardians Charities. Stay tuned more to 238 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:36.519 come after this two two pits, a swing and a long prived deep left 239 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:48.960 waver Go and manywhere else has wonted halfway up the blachers and left a two 240 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:55.920 run homer on a two two pitch in the twelve How about these Indians they 241 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.400 want it in twelve innings five top four and when he hit it, he 242 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:07.880 knew it. He just stood at home plate and watched it. Welcome back 243 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.960 to Guardians Weekly. Jim Rosenhaus back with you from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland 244 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.000 where Saturday night, two new members of the Hall of Fame will be inducted. 245 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:21.880 Manny Ramirez, who started his outstanding major league career with Cleveland, and 246 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.240 the late Dale Mitchell, a part of the team's back in the late forties 247 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:29.319 early fifties. They will be inducted on Saturday night. And we had a 248 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.640 chance to visit with Mike Sarbaugh, the Guardian's third base coach, and talk 249 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.720 to him about Manny Ramirez. What a great perspective. Sarbi was a teammate 250 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.880 of Manny's at Double A Canton. That's when the Double A club was down 251 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.680 in Canton, and that was nineteen ninety three, and he explains what it 252 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.880 was like playing alongside a very young Manny Ramirez. As Ramirez was making his 253 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.519 way to the major leagues well from a young age, especially that year. 254 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.759 I believe he's either nineteen or twenty in Double A, and just his approach 255 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:03.839 it during batting p and it was different, the way he would stay inside 256 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.400 the baseball. He had just had a great feel on how to hit at 257 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.279 a young age and it really stood out. And you know that year, 258 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.680 I mean, he just he offensively, he was above everybody else and to 259 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.000 be that advanced at a young age, it just shows you the ability he 260 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:25.680 had. And I think the common theme is throughout his major league career was 261 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.720 the work that he put in to prepare for that. Could you see that 262 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.440 already at the minor league level or is that something that maybe had to take 263 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.599 hold later on in his career. Well, I think at the minor league 264 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.759 level, especially for I keep saying the young player, but he was very 265 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:44.799 young. But he just had a good idea what his approach and how he 266 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.680 wanted to attack the baseball, and that was from batting practice to the game, 267 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:56.480 and it's hard to teach that. He just had that ability to be 268 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.200 able to coach himself. But he just had a great feel for the barrel 269 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.039 and just how to put the battle on the ball. So as time goes 270 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.079 by, as a player, you're you're grinding through trying to get as far 271 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:08.960 as you could, and then a real good coaching career and now at the 272 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.240 major league level, how much did you you follow him on a regular basis 273 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.799 as a former teammate to see what he was doing well? When I was 274 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:19.559 starting the coach in the minor leagues here and when I was an acron he 275 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.759 came down on a rehab assignment and was able to be around him a little 276 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:29.720 bit there, and and then just to follow his career in Boston and you 277 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.799 know, just a special hitter and to be able to you know, to 278 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.119 know where he came from and the work he put in. It's it's pretty 279 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.720 special to see the player he turned out to be. So he's going into 280 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.720 the Guardians Hall of Fame on Saturday. And not everyone who's a high draft 281 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.400 pick makes it, and I certainly not become a superstar like like Manny Ramirez 282 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:55.640 did. But from from what you saw very early on, not surprised that 283 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.359 he had the career that he did. No, you could see he had 284 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:06.759 the confidence was there and especially at a young age, and to continue that 285 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.599 throughout the years. And then once he learned how to hit, he use 286 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.920 the whole field. And then he gets the you know, the big leagues 287 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.200 and learns how to hit for a little more power and just the development that 288 00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.240 you saw. But I think the big thing about him, he just he 289 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.720 just had a lot of confidence as a hitter. When he stepped into the 290 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.039 box, he felt good about himself. Thanks Mike. You bet that's Mike 291 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.720 Sarbaugh, a teammate of Manny Ramirez back in nineteen ninety three at Double A 292 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.720 Canton. Now fast forward to the Boston years for Ramirez and one of his 293 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.839 hitting coaches with the Red Sox was Victor Rodriguez, and during Manny's hey day 294 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.640 in Boston, Victor says, there weren't many better than Manny Ramirez. Well, 295 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.200 how much he took the importance for him to hit him, how we 296 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.519 important was that preparation, how we went on, bought his business, everything 297 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.799 that he did, hitting us with the purpose. He have a plan, 298 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.559 he had a routine, and he stick with it. It doesn't matter if 299 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:10.039 he was aful for or fourful for. The guys stick with it. And 300 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.359 he was always always ahead of time with the with the way you prepare for 301 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.839 the game. I thought it was interesting you mentioned that that he helped you 302 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.319 become a better coach howself. Of course, when you see a guy like 303 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:25.440 Manny prepared, it's not like he told me how to do it. I 304 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.920 just saw him how to do it, you know. And and the and 305 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:34.200 the and the importance they focus, the the time that he spent and the 306 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.519 quality of work that he that he put every day on the cache, you 307 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.000 know, taught me that the importance of how to help a young player to 308 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:47.799 prepare for the game. So the quality of work, the preparation, how 309 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.720 did that translate into the batteries box allowing him to be better than most? 310 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.640 Well, he knew what he needed to work on, He knew who was 311 00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.359 pitching that day, and he prepared accordingly to that. And he had a 312 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.400 routine that he did every day. You know, he did his t he 313 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:11.480 did the target target work, and you could not tell if Manny was ten 314 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.319 for twenty or for twenty because Manny was the same, money was the same. 315 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.559 He stick with his plan, he stick with his routine, and he 316 00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.839 knew that by doing that he was going to come out quicker than if he 317 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:27.680 starts searching and moving around. And it sounded like some of those principles rubbed 318 00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:33.160 off on teammates and who I was maybe a particularly beneficiary of that, Oh, 319 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:38.400 David Ortiz. David Ortiz. I spend a lot of time with David 320 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.160 Ortiz, even more than Manny, and he mentioned Manny all the time. 321 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:48.160 He was responsible of his roots success just by looking at Manny and the way 322 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.960 Manny went about his business, thought David a lot of how to prepare for 323 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:57.079 the game. Victor, thank you. They welcome. Great perspectives there from 324 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.480 Mike Sarba and Victor Rod you guys on the career of Manny Ramirez stay with 325 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:15.400 us. Well, I'm more to come after this score pass out of bounds. 326 00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.680 Those are sports words. Some people hear any sports word and they can't 327 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.599 help but listen, like drive drive is another sports word and drive verse who 328 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.200 switch and save with Progressive could save hundreds. You might say those savings are 329 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.079 on par with the best in the league. You see, pars also a 330 00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.240 sports word, So I know you're still listening, and that's called covering our 331 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.480 basis. Okay, I'm done now, but I'm serious about drivers saving big 332 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.559 with Progressive. Now I'm really deaf. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates. 333 00:25:41.599 --> 00:26:04.920 Potential savings will vary. Welcome back to Guardians Weekly, our final segment. 334 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.359 Jim Rosenhaus back with you from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland, and we always 335 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:15.000 love to check in with Bobby d. Guardians Senior Vice President Bobb Di Biasio, 336 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.279 who if there's history to be known about the Cleveland Baseball franchise, Bobby 337 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.920 D knows it, and with this year's Hall of Fame class featuring Manny Ramirez 338 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:29.200 and then from a much earlier era, Dale Mitchell, the late Tale Mitchell, 339 00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:34.000 Bobby D says that the committee that's selected this year's inductees definitely hit a 340 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.359 home run. Yes, we did, Rosie, and it's always exciting when 341 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.720 we can talk about the greats and franchise history. It has been a while 342 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:51.319 since we've had an induction into our Hall of Fame. The seventy fifth anniversary 343 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.920 of the nineteen forty eight World Series champions Dale Mitchell was an integral part of 344 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:04.279 that championship ball club. He's one of the best left fielders in baseball at 345 00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.240 the time, and just felt it appropriate. I think he might be the 346 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:14.799 final piece in the Hall of Fame of somebody from that incredible ball club, 347 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:22.640 that Championship ball club. Dave Garcia, our manager back in nineteen eighties early 348 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:27.720 eighties, would always talk about Rick Manning being a terrific center fielder, but 349 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:33.920 then he'd always add that he wasn't as good as Dale Mitchell, who was 350 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:40.640 probably one of the best out defensive outfielders he had ever seen play. He 351 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.000 matched him with Willie May's, Duke Snyder, all the great names, Larry 352 00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:52.920 Doby, all the great names who played in the outfield during that period of 353 00:27:52.039 --> 00:28:04.039 time. And Dale would win top fielding awards, you know, most put 354 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:11.839 outs and fewest airs and the fielding percentage. And I'd always asked David because 355 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:17.839 I thought I knew the history of our franchise and I wasn't one hundred percent 356 00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:22.559 aware of of Dale Mitchell, because we all knew about all the other greats 357 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.720 on that team, and it just stuck with us for all these years. 358 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:34.839 And then when we came upon the anniversary of the World Series champion team, 359 00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:41.279 that this would be an appropriate year to put Dale Mitchell into the Hall of 360 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.880 Fame. And maybe it chose it was a different time in baseball. Then 361 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:52.359 his entire career spent with Cleetland entire, Dale Mitchell Jr. And Bo Mitchell, 362 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:59.880 his two sons. I was actually Rosie at the Denver Airport, snowed 363 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.000 Lay getting to spring training this year, and Bow Mitchell works with the Colorado 364 00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:10.559 Rockies. Obviously you know that oddly they're here right now, we're playing as 365 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.599 we interview. Do this interview prior to one of our games against the Rockies, 366 00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.960 and I thought, you know, on a snowy cold day, I'm 367 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.160 gonna call Bow Mitchell. He's a chaplain and was a chaplain for the Colorado 368 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.039 Rockies. I said, I'm gonna call him and give him some wonderful news 369 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:33.240 and just share with him our thoughts. And it was a wonderful conversation. 370 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.519 I think they're going to have twenty plus family members come for the induction ceremony 371 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.440 on August Saturday, August nineteen, so that's gonna be wonderful. But he 372 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.480 again one of the guys that didn't get all the fanfare, but was an 373 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:52.319 integral part of a championship World Series, championship team. I know you know 374 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.920 this stuff. You talked about his defense. Oh, by the way, 375 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.400 three times finished in the top five in the American League batting average, and 376 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.160 his career batting average three twelve, three twelve. Yeah, he was a 377 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.839 bat a little bit, Dad, No, he was a great player known 378 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:14.359 for his defense, but also a three hundred hitter, certainly deserving of Hall 379 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.880 of Fame recognition. Bobby d joining us, we're talking about the twenty twenty 380 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:25.559 three Guardians Hall of fame class Dale Mitchell going in and Manny Ramirez goes in. 381 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.839 Gosh, he was such a big part of those great teams and had 382 00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.960 some unbelievable years here in Cleveland. You know, I heard Tito talk about 383 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.119 him the other day, and the one word he used was a lovable kid. 384 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.920 That's what he was when he was here. Just a remarkably likable, 385 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:52.279 lovable young man who was blessed to be a great hitter. But he worked 386 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.599 his tail off. That was one thing about Charlie Manuel as their hitting coach. 387 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.319 You know, with Albert and Carlos and Jimmy and Manny, they worked 388 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:10.440 hard in those batting cages in early mornings in winter Haven, and you know, 389 00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.720 to become one of the best hitters in the game of baseball. You 390 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:21.200 could argue that Manny Ramirez was one of the best right handed hitters of his 391 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:25.920 generation. Ken Griffey Junior from the left side, Barry Bonds from the left 392 00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.400 side, and I think Miguel Cabrera, I mean, you can you can 393 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:36.279 argue Manny's in that discussion. That's how remarkable Manny Ramirez was with a bat 394 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:40.279 and Bobby d He was part of those great teams in the mid nineties. 395 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.160 But he was the young guy, wasn't he. It took him a little 396 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:47.240 bit to fit in and find his spot. Batted seventh or eighth in the 397 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.799 lineup with jim Toby and and all of a sudden, you know he liked 398 00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.039 Jimmy crept up, you know, into the middle of the lineup to be 399 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.880 an impact player. Uh. I will never forget the nineteen ninety nine season 400 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:10.759 where Manny drove in still a single season record for our franchise, one hundred 401 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:16.400 and sixty five runs. He drove in one hundred and sixty five on an 402 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:22.400 offense in nineteen ninety nine, our most prolific offense in our franchise history. 403 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:28.680 In our one hundred and three year American League history, one hundred and twenty 404 00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.920 three year history in the American League, our franchise has only scored more than 405 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:39.160 a thousand runs once. That was nineteen ninety nine. He drove in one 406 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:47.119 hundred and sixty five of those runs. A remarkable hitter. There was a 407 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.759 story, if I may real quickly, Rosy share with you, Travis Freyman 408 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:58.279 told me a story. When we're sitting in the dugout one day, Travis 409 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:04.720 had announced to just a small group of people that he was retiring, and 410 00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:09.279 so I asked him, we're going to do one of those big press conferences, 411 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.240 you know, in the press interview room and you and he goes no, 412 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.240 which didn't surprise anybody that he just wasn't that kind of guy. So 413 00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:20.880 I asked him, I said, how about some of the media just meet 414 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:27.000 you in the dugout right now. I'll grab a number of the daily media 415 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.319 over and you can explain to them, and they can sit on the top 416 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.799 steps of the dugout and we can have a nice conversation. He goes, 417 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:37.000 yeah, that would be the way to do it. And while we sat 418 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:43.640 and talked, I said, give me a story about your time with us, 419 00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.200 and he goes, oh, Manny Ramirez, And I said what and 420 00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:54.079 he goes, I was a victim of my regiment, my discipline. When 421 00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:59.559 I came off the field, I put my glove and my fielding glove and 422 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.279 my glasses and everything in the same spot and the dugouts, so I knew 423 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:06.599 exactly where to go get it to get back on the field. Then I'd 424 00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.639 go get my bat I always hit behind Manny. One game, I go 425 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.440 to the bat rack and my gamer's gone, and I'm yelling at the bat 426 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.679 boys, and I never yelled, and I'm like, where's my gamer? 427 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:22.320 And then I happened to look up and Manny is using my bat. My 428 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:28.599 bat hits a double off the wall, and he's like, well, I 429 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.480 can't go up to bat with the same bat that was just used. This 430 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.320 is a little league, so I don't know what to do. So he 431 00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.639 goes, I grabbed a heavier bat. He goes, I probably used Jim 432 00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.159 Tomy's bat so I could dribble one to second base to get the runner over. 433 00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:47.119 No outs, many let off, get the guy over, he goes, 434 00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.880 and I did so the next time up, I run into the dugout, 435 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.559 put my stuff down, go grab my bat before Manny could grab it. 436 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.440 And I watched him and he used somebody else's bat. He said he 437 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:06.199 went four for four that day and never used his own bat. He goes. 438 00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.599 If that doesn't say what kind of remarkable hitter he was. I don't 439 00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:14.280 know what does, because you know how much we care about our bats, 440 00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:21.039 and I just thought that says it right there, just a remarkable hitter in 441 00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:24.519 this game of baseball. No wonderful talent ended up playing with several other teams 442 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:29.719 after his time in Cleveland, but he will always be remembered as a Cleveland 443 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.880 Indian, no question. Yeah, we think so. I'll never forget when 444 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.320 after the first draft, number one draft pick, I think thirteenth player. 445 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:43.280 Overall, things were a little bit different back then in our player development system. 446 00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:47.360 We're out at Baldham Wallace College with our draft picks, our first time 447 00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.599 the draft picks got together, and we're taking batting practice and infield practice, 448 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:57.519 and we have the media out there and my old friend Alan Davis, who 449 00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:02.679 was the TV guy for Channel five and ended up working in our community relations 450 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:09.840 department bi linguals, so he helped Manny in interviews for us with the group. 451 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:16.519 And Manny's sitting in the batter's box at Baltam Wallace Field, and so 452 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:22.480 the Baltom Wallas baseball players are out watching our draft picks and their coach saddles 453 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.360 up to us and Manny's hitting balls and he looked at us. He goes, 454 00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:31.199 I've never in all my years seen anybody hit a ball where he's hitting 455 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:37.800 him in batting practice ever, and he's doing it on every swing. He 456 00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:42.960 goes, that young man is special. And from day one he came to 457 00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:47.840 Cleveland at baltim Wallace College DACOM batting practice, we saw something incredibly special with 458 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.000 a gentleman with a bat in his hands. Incredibly special. Bobby d Always 459 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.920 great to have you along. Thanks for sharing on the Hall of Fame class 460 00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:00.639 for this year.
