WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, quiet on the set. We got a real guy here.

2
00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>That's the one and only Mariachi Joe Kelly on a

3
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>bullpen day. Joe, thanks a lot for the time. I

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it.

5
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:10.880
<v Speaker 2>A real person. Thank you.

6
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate you having me on. It's the least I

7
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 3>could bring to the team right now, besides positive vibes,

8
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, give them the boys confidence and you know

9
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna be down there in the pen tonight with them.

10
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I am every game. It's been fun to watch obviously

11
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 3>this postseason ride. Obviously I wish I was involved in

12
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>a part of it, but you know, I like to

13
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 3>try to help the team in any way I can,

14
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 3>whether it's you know, some during San Diego, I was

15
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>trying to look at their pictures see who their tendencies are.

16
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 3>So it's just been things here and there. I wouldn't say,

17
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 3>obviously any type of coaching, but I'm just here to

18
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 3>bring the light the more fun of the baseball aspect

19
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 3>during obviously a serious time.

20
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>What's it like in a game like this, not only

21
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>for Joe Kelly but all those guys in that bullpen.

22
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>What's the mood and how different is it than a

23
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>normal game?

24
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I think we enjoy it more obviously when you're

25
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 3>having a regular start right the the score, the situation,

26
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 3>the the length of your start of that night kind

27
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>of dictates the game in one of these games. For

28
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 3>a bulben game, knowing that you're gonna be a part

29
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 3>of it at some point, you kind of know your

30
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>role throughout the day, throughout the evening. You know, score

31
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 3>doesn't dictate it as much because the same guys will

32
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 3>throw no matter what. You know, maybe just in a

33
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 3>different order or a different time, but knowing you're gonna

34
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>be able to pitch that day and play and be

35
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 3>a big role, I think the boys definitely enjoyed a

36
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>little bit more. Obviously, if you're doing throughout the season,

37
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 3>you know every fourth game you get tired, but there's

38
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 3>there's there's no complaining.

39
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>When it's a playoff game.

40
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It feels like not only yourself, but other guys in

41
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>that bullpen have described those relief pitchers as a group

42
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>of dogs that really want in badly. Have you ever

43
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 1>been part of a bullpen like that?

44
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Every year's divin.

45
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Obviously the talent you have sometimes can match the talent

46
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 3>we have here, but you know when you bring the

47
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 3>quality of character and plus talent, plus friendships on and

48
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 3>off the field kind of irreplaceable.

49
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 2>You know.

50
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 3>It's one of those things where it's everyone says that

51
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 3>the teammates that they're their brothers or you know, they're

52
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 3>they're all there. Everyone likes each other. But down in

53
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 3>our bullpen, uh, we have that. Plus we have the

54
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 3>love from the position players, the starters. Usually bullpen guys

55
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>are kind of isolated, right, and then the playoffs, you

56
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>know everyone recognizes them, oh wow, like they help us win.

57
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>But from day one here in this organization, this year,

58
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 3>this spring training, we've kind of been recognized throughout the

59
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 3>whole season.

60
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Our teammates have appreciated it. You know.

61
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 3>You I've been on teams where you know you could

62
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 3>do your job and like you said, break records, throw

63
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 3>thirty three scorers in the postseason, and you know push

64
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 3>some players could just shower and go home.

65
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Here, it's it's embraced.

66
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 3>We're recognized, and you know, you want to be involved

67
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 3>with your team, right, but you know you want everyone

68
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 3>to notice, you know, when you're bringing your a game

69
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>or when you're providing beginnings and big moments. And to

70
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 3>have position players of our caliber who recognize it and

71
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>you know kind of like, you know, we're wouldn't be

72
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 3>here without the bullpen type thing. It goes a long

73
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 3>way and it makes you not try harder, but like

74
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 3>I said, it makes you feel more involved with the team,

75
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 3>and you know, team wins become that much more fun

76
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and it brings a group together a lot more.

77
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Joe Kelly is our guest, obviously tough for him to watch,

78
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>but certainly being involved to help his teammates during this

79
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>postseason run. How about the offense, Joe, I mean, these

80
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>guys have really started to come together. Can you see

81
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>from your vantage point how unselfish they're at bats are

82
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 1>and how they're playing for each other.

83
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>They've been.

84
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 3>There's times where they would say that they've throughout the

85
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 3>whole entire season right now the postseason where it's like, man,

86
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 3>that's bad often today, or we throw away at bats

87
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 3>after the fifth or after a big lead we're down.

88
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 3>It's easy to give up kind of at bats and

89
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>turn into a selfish player. But the fight that our

90
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>guys have is has been pretty cool to watch. You know,

91
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 3>yeah you might strike out, yeah you might pop up

92
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 3>with the guy in the third.

93
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Lesson two but the.

94
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Consistency throughout our lineup from top to bottom of the

95
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 3>focus and the intensity of you know, trying to one

96
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 3>make a pitch of work, and number two when they

97
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 3>throw a strike, you know do damage, you know, because

98
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 3>you can throw, you get behind accounts, walk guys, and

99
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 3>then some guy could jump ship and you get a

100
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 3>first pitch double play and it ruins the whole offense.

101
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Right and right now, we're not doing that. We're still

102
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 3>taking pitches. We're still trying to, you know, fight with

103
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 3>two strikes. You know, throughout the year you might see

104
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 3>guys one, two and you know, swinging for the fence,

105
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 3>trying to strike out. And it's been kind of a

106
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 3>different kind of mentality where you know it might be

107
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 3>down six runs at this point, but we'll get guys

108
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>on first and second and you know we're still not

109
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 3>working at bat.

110
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>If I get out, I get out.

111
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 3>But usually you see other teams we would just swing

112
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 3>first pitch and get out and you know, kind of

113
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 3>kill the inning. So it's been impressive to watch. It's

114
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 3>hard to do as a player, obviously, when.

115
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 2>You're trying to win a World Series or a championship.

116
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 3>It's easy to play for your teammates, but I think

117
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 3>we've been doing it, you know, a little bit before

118
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 3>the playoffs even started, so we've been in that mindset.

119
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Joe, love catching up with you. You know, the city

120
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>loves you, and obviously I know it hurts not being

121
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>part of this, but it sounds like you're trying to

122
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 1>do everything you can to help your team out because

123
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you obviously are one of the best teammates out there.

124
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So thanks a lot for the time. And baseball isn't boring.

125
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Baseball is not boring. Thank you for your time.

126
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>DV my guy, Joe Kelly, my third favorite Kelly in

127
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that family. We'll send it back to you in the studio.

128
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Tim
