1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: We have to ask to be more important questions.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. Oh there's a lot of things is important. Yeah, yeah,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:06,240
very important question.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 3: The only important thing is my kids are being born

5
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:13,640
soon like soon, like in the next month. It's twins, twins, triplets,

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,000
just too.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,199
Speaker 1: Did you have a reveal party?

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 3: Not really, just did like a little private thing with

9
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:21,559
my wife and uh it was nice. So the room

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,679
is already done, Yes, the room is done. Did you

11
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:29,239
paint no white? That's blank blank slate for when they

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,960
get to like a very very smart the tabula Ross

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,679
eyes that were.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,759
Speaker 4: Boy girl, two girls, two boys, two boys boys?

15
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:40,439
Speaker 1: You got names picked out yet? I sure do? And

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,560
you're not Gonn tell Us, are you actually? I think right? Yeah?

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,880
We actually we did consider that. Yeah, Matt Ross, I

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,280
mean it sounds great.

19
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,679
Speaker 3: They do what it's you know, it's not matching, but

20
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:54,439
they work together, you know, for years, sixteen years now.

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,039
Speaker 1: All right, So you've been busy this off season, Yeah, clearly.

22
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, getting ready last year in a nutshell, my friend,

23
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:04,640
how do you want to describe it? Chock it up

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:11,120
to bad luck, yeah, Spencer Getty.

25
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want you ever in the outfield. No,

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,200
I will never play catch when they're hitting on the field.

27
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: Like in the All Star Game. You know they had

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,480
the home run contest. I'm not even letting you out there, no,

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,640
no lord willing.

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: If I do make one of those, I will not

31
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,280
be shagging fly balls during the other Star game.

32
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:25,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, elbowing the kids out of the way. I'll let

33
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:27,239
them have fun. Yeah, yeah, that'll be good.

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: Uh so you are one hundred percent healed, no issues

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,239
to speak of, none at all. Okay, so what the

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640
throwing program? Everything was about the same or did you

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,439
intense five things? And it's always the easy, low hanging

38
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:40,200
fruit question today.

39
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:41,799
Speaker 1: How was your up season? But yeah, I have to

40
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:43,840
ask because you we didn't see much of you last year. No,

41
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,359
it was good.

42
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,359
Speaker 3: My off season was good. I took more rest, so

43
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,920
I got three opinions when I had the elbow thing

44
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:53,760
pop up, just to make sure that you know, everybody

45
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:55,519
was on the same page, and it was. It was

46
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,239
meister's cremchak. It was our our team doctor at home,

47
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,239
and everybody's recommendation was just give it a break, it

48
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:03,760
let it scar up a little bit. There was some inflammation,

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,719
just like a little bit of like no tears anywhere

50
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,520
but like a little spacing that shouldn't really be there,

51
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,400
you know. It just seemed like there was some wear

52
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,199
and tear happening from the way that I was throwing

53
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:15,800
the ball that wasn't supposed to So shut it down.

54
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,439
Start at square one, eight weeks later, played catch for

55
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,000
eight weeks low intensity, then the next eight weeks after

56
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:23,639
that ramped it up, and that was the whole off

57
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,400
season right there. So for me it felt normal. I

58
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,759
don't really try to throw hard when it's not time to,

59
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,960
but I also never take eight weeks down from throwing.

60
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: In the past.

61
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: I'll give myself three to five days and then, you know,

62
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,599
just light toss three times a week. So that was

63
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,199
the hardest part for me. It was just showing up

64
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,960
to the gym every day. No and I can't play catch,

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,599
and I just got to do my rehab stuff. But

66
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,360
it was the best thing for me. Shoulders feel healthy,

67
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:48,840
almost feel really healthy, so that's really what I care

68
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,719
about at this point. And things are starting to feel

69
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:53,639
really smooth on the mound again, which is what I'm

70
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:56,759
used to, and I feel like I'm writing stride. I

71
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,319
got a live tomorrow for the first time, or actually

72
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,800
second live offseason. I threw on a dyke in before

73
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,879
we came down here, and I'll throw one tomorrow, another

74
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,879
twenty pitch live, so just kind of slowly building back

75
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:11,080
into it. I think I'll have live bullpen, live bullpen game,

76
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,840
so I won't throw the first week of games, but

77
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,319
I'll be right back in there in the second week

78
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,080
of games, and I'm really excited for it.

79
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:17,199
Speaker 1: Got a lot of competition.

80
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: Man, we want you back to where you were a

81
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,199
couple of years ago, but there are guys chasing after

82
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,319
you right now, and that's healthy and cool, but you

83
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,759
still want to be a part of that opening six,

84
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,879
five or six rotation.

85
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:29,319
Speaker 3: I love competition, though. I mean, I feel like that's

86
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:30,879
been my whole career and my whole life up to

87
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,919
this point. Is proving that I'm one of those guys

88
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,199
that should be taking the ball when when we're starting games,

89
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:38,360
and that is exactly what I'm here to do. This

90
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,000
this spring training is proved that nothing's changed. I prove

91
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400
that I'm the same guy that I was in really

92
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,080
the second half of twenty four is what I'm the

93
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,400
most proud of in the big leagues, and that's exactly

94
00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:49,960
what I'm chasing is just be that guy again.

95
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:51,879
Speaker 1: How do you get back to that guy? What is

96
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:52,159
that like?

97
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: It feels like it's kind of very unique journey for you,

98
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,919
as you said here in the second half of the

99
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,520
twenty four Then, of course, what happened last year. Where

100
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,759
are you right now as opposed to where you were

101
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
around that time, both mentally and physically.

102
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: That's a tough question to answer. I mean, obviously, over

103
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,159
the course of the season you gain some and lose

104
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,759
some certain places, and during the off season you're trying

105
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,600
to sharpen everything. So right now, I feel like everything

106
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,279
is sharp. I feel like my velocity is very normal,

107
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,439
definitely a little bit higher than it was last year

108
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,600
coming into spring training, So I'm excited by that. I

109
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,120
was not excited about how hard I was throwing when

110
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,040
I did come back from injury last year. But again,

111
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:32,199
it's tough to shut down for eight weeks during the

112
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,560
year and then get back up to where you were

113
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,680
before that. So the thumb thing was again my chocolate

114
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,839
to bad luck. But it was tough to overcome that

115
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:43,439
and the fact that I was able to get back

116
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800
quickly and pitch for the team again with something I

117
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,759
was really proud of granted. Now I look back at

118
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,120
it and I realized I wasn't fully prepared to be

119
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:53,120
doing that, neither mentally or physically. So this off season,

120
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,800
I feel like I did a lot of, you know,

121
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,480
more things than I would normally do in an off

122
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:00,240
season to make sure that my body was going to

123
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,360
be ready and going to be fully prepared. And I

124
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:04,360
think it's been good for me. I got a much

125
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,839
more regimented arm care program this year and in the past,

126
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,079
like before I got called up, like I it's it's

127
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,839
it sounds crazy to admit this on air, but I

128
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,439
wasn't doing arm care, Like I was never one of

129
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:17,160
the guys doing forearm exercises.

130
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: This part of the conversation. No, honestly don't because it's

131
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:21,319
it's part of the growth.

132
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: Like I'm proud of it now, like I've got the

133
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,639
I've got the wherewithal to know, like I can't pitch

134
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,639
thirty times in a season in the big leagues if

135
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,879
I don't do this stuff. So it's really it's really

136
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,519
good for me. I have a fantastic team of people

137
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,639
at DST in Houston that helped me find exactly what

138
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,160
it was I needed to do day in and day

139
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:40,800
out to feel good and to be ready to take

140
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,879
the ball. So yeah, I'm just excited to get down

141
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,519
here and compete.

142
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've talked about growth and one of the things

143
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:48,639
we've had you now on just about every year the

144
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,800
last couple of years, and we talked about being more

145
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:54,680
into numbers and spin rates. And then after your first

146
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:57,839
lengthy year and twenty four, kind of backing off that

147
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,160
a little bit, what's your relationship with with the of

148
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:03,600
the finding the harmony between using both the numbers and

149
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,720
just the field.

150
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: So I think during rehab and during the post rehab throwing,

151
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,360
it was really important for me to like dive back

152
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,800
into the technology again and make sure that the release

153
00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:16,519
window was the same as it was and the extension

154
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,759
and the shape on all the pitches like that was

155
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:20,759
that was good for me to like check off those

156
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,959
things post rehab or post shutdown, I guess. And now

157
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,839
that I'm back competing again, I'm trying to kind of

158
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,639
ignore the computer programs a little bit, you know. Obviously,

159
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,959
I'm I'm taking what our analytics team says and trying

160
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,639
to apply it to what I like to do. And

161
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,920
I think that that's the happy balance is I got

162
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:40,600
to go out there and play my game and pitch

163
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
my game, but I also need to listen to the

164
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,959
guys that know a little bit more about the hitters,

165
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680
and they get paid to sit there and do research

166
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,759
about the hitters. So anytime any I don't know if

167
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:52,680
you guys are familiar with Holden, but he's the guy

168
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,279
that we work with on the pitching side for the

169
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:57,319
most part in the analytics team, And anytime I have

170
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,240
a question about like, hey, like is this pitch better,

171
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,079
is this pitch better to this hitter? Like, I'll go

172
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,879
to him because I can't just watch the video and

173
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,120
know that. I mean, I can go in there and

174
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,279
I can look at all his numbers and stuff, but

175
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,759
we have so many things that go into what our

176
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,079
game plan is that I got to give and take,

177
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,360
you know, Like, if I feel strongly convicted about something,

178
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:18,680
that's what I'm gonna do in the big moment. But

179
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:21,759
when there's there's opportunity for me to like learn something

180
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,839
about this hitter or that hitter, I need to take

181
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:25,399
the chance to do that too. So I think it's

182
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:27,360
just I'm somewhere right in the middle now, just kind

183
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,439
of the same as the last time we talked about it.

184
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,279
Speaker 4: Spencer Getty with us here on the Matt Thomas Show

185
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:32,600
with Ross from West Palm Beach.

186
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,639
Speaker 1: Has the skip told you guys don't even bother challenging

187
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,600
on abs or what mess.

188
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:41,879
Speaker 3: It goes without saying, dude, I think everything's a strike.

189
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:44,439
That's the real problem is my my eyes move a

190
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,959
lot and the ball stays in the same spot. So

191
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:49,360
I don't think I could ever possibly tell you with

192
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:52,439
one hundred percent certainty, like on borderline pitches, whether it

193
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720
was in or out. So in my head, I will

194
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,639
never once put the hand on my hat, you know.

195
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
I'll leave that to the because they're really really good

196
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,079
at knowing the strike zone, and obviously the hitters are

197
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,519
as well. So I really think that's what it's more

198
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800
for is is for the guys that are confident in

199
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120
whether it was over the plate or not. I think

200
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:14,319
up and down is going to be It's gonna be

201
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:18,560
a learning curve like the I don't know if you

202
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,439
guys have watched Triple A games in the last few

203
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,800
years with the ABS, but it gets a little inconsistent

204
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:25,399
at times, just a little bit, I mean, and I

205
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:27,879
think that some of that was intentional, like tinkering to

206
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160
try to find the strike zone. But it now seems

207
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:33,480
like they've got a pretty good algorithm where it's like

208
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,519
relative to your stance, height, relative to your load. Yeah,

209
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,840
like I think it's in a good spot. I think

210
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,279
it's probably. I don't think they would put it in

211
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:41,840
the big leagues if it wasn't ready for us to

212
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:47,879
use it. So I think you're glad we'll see. Yeah, No,

213
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480
I am really glad about that. I'm really glad that

214
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,679
raised a lot of guys on our He's one of them.

215
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, who have you? Is there anybody

216
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,720
here in camp you faced?

217
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, so Jack's biggers, who's in camp

218
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,000
with us? I faced him in round Rock a little

219
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,320
bit in twenty three, and I think also in rehab. No,

220
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,440
I actually didn't. I didn't have round rock and rehab.

221
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,639
But twenty four first game of the season, actually, yeah,

222
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:12,279
before I got called up. So I've seen him a

223
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:17,080
few times. I think he might be it. Actually, do

224
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:17,559
you like it?

225
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,799
Speaker 4: When how many teammates? How many friends do you have

226
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:20,879
outside of other teams?

227
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,519
Speaker 1: A handful bunch went full definitely talk to each other

228
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,759
when I got you or hey, I took you d

229
00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:29,000
how's your neck feel? Kind of?

230
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: You know, Honestly, I'm friends with more pitchers than hitters,

231
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,720
so we don't never get around to that. But I

232
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:35,879
would say the guys that I trained with at my

233
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,960
gym in Houston, Chain bos Logan Henderson, those guys we

234
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,120
just like to talk shop, you know, not necessarily the

235
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,279
other s, but shop.

236
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: We like pitching. But no, uh, the O the rest.

237
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: H Yeah, in camp it's it gets fun. You know,

238
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,200
when you get live at bats against guys that you'll

239
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,080
never face in games, it is easy to kind of

240
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,200
let it fly a little bit more. And I don't

241
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,559
think I've been got by many people in camp on wood,

242
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,639
but Caesar Salazar likes to tell everybody that he caught him.

243
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,440
In reality is as he didn't get anybody.

244
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:11,919
Speaker 4: So okay, a couple of final questions. How cranky were

245
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:13,879
you middle of the year when the thing went down?

246
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,799
I mean, were you like get away from me? Because

247
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:17,440
we don't go in the clubus locause our show is

248
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,600
on during your time. But were you a pleasant person

249
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,080
or were you like get away from me? I don't

250
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,480
want to. I mean, how did how did you, how

251
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:25,879
did your wife feel about it? I mean, obviously you

252
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:26,279
guys did.

253
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,039
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, we did find she never got sick of me.

254
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,799
Speaker 1: That's but she's also a superhero.

255
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,879
Speaker 3: I mean, she'll she'll listen to me, be it be

256
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200
and moan over whatever might have been that day, and

257
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:42,960
it's good for me to just kind of get it

258
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,919
out and let it go. But I think for the

259
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,919
most part, like during the rehab part, I'm sure you

260
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200
could ask other people and they'd have different opinions. I

261
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,639
did have a conversation with a couple of guys one

262
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,320
day it was like, hey, man, like, you're you're kind

263
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,240
of a downer lately and it sucks. And then I

264
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,960
feel like I tried to make an effort to be

265
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,639
a little bit less that way. But it is hard sometimes, man,

266
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,360
Like you get into the you get into the routine

267
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120
of showing up before everybody else, finish your work before

268
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:08,159
everybody else, and then sit around to watch the game,

269
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,200
and you know you're not pitching that week, you know

270
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,320
you're not pitching that month.

271
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: It might be a couple months.

272
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,759
Speaker 3: You don't really have a date on the calendar yet,

273
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:16,399
and it's hard to see the light at the end

274
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,559
of the tunnel. So I don't necessarily fault myself or

275
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,440
anyone else for kind of falling victim to that when

276
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,879
you're in rehab. But I also like when it was

277
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:25,320
brought to my attention, I feel like I made a

278
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,519
big effort to not be that way and just be

279
00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:28,960
a cheerleader for the guys instead.

280
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: If I was telling a teenage Spencer Arraghetty as he's

281
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,960
throwing two no hitters against ma Alma Monter Main Creek,

282
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,080
the chance of you getting hurt among everybody else in

283
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:39,360
pitching is significant.

284
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys get to live a clean life.

285
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,720
It's very few. What would I have told you? What

286
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:46,080
would your reaction to be to be saying, Hey, I

287
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080
thought I was invincible back then. Yeah, what I'm saying,

288
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,000
I think everybody thinks that.

289
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely thought I was invincible. I shirt certainly

290
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,720
didn't think it was going to be a fly ball

291
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,799
during batting practice that would do me in for the

292
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,480
first time. But yeah, I think I probably would have

293
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,200
laughed at you, probably would have told you not, I'm

294
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,279
just gonna go throw another no hitter against made Creek

295
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:03,240
here in a couple of weeks.

296
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,039
Speaker 4: Kind of feels personal. Okay, fantasy football, we almost invited you.

297
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,200
Last year, I finished second.

298
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: Oh boy, how'd you do? I won again? No, I

299
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,919
didn't win last time. I thought you were in a

300
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:16,559
bunch of leaks.

301
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:16,879
Speaker 1: No.

302
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,879
Speaker 3: This year, I kept it to one. Okay, and I won,

303
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,679
So maybe I'll just play in one for the rest

304
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,279
of the time.

305
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:24,279
Speaker 2: You know why, because when you're in one and you

306
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,799
don't make the playoffs, you hate it.

307
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: So that's why I was. I liked you. Like five.

308
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: We play with the score Median matchup and Hayden wes

309
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,679
Nesky and I were fourteen to thirteen and one. We

310
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,919
tied a game down to the hundredth of a point

311
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,200
because Dak Prescott took a knee four times to end

312
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,320
a game. So Hayden missed the playoffs because I had

313
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,559
more points scored than him. So I was the last

314
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,879
team into the playoffs and ended up winning the whole thing.

315
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: So it's the name of your team. I can't say

316
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,080
I can't love it. Yeah, I thought, you know it's

317
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,759
a good one.

318
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,519
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, all right, can you throw a no

319
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,840
hitter this year? Will you tell us privately what the

320
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:03,879
name is? Or sure?

321
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:06,039
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, why don't you just throw six innings

322
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,720
at three hit balling out and you tell us then too.

323
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: If I go more than seven, less than two hits,

324
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,840
more than ten strikeouts, you'll get it out of me.

325
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: Okay. So here it is seven innings. Wow, how many

326
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,279
two runs? Not two hits? Okay? Yeah, two runs? You

327
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200
have a good strikeout number. Your walks a little high.

328
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,200
I'm a little worried about that, but pitch count could

329
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,919
be in the factor. Ten k's two runs.

330
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 4: Or less seven innings. You are going to tell us

331
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,080
the team name off air off air, Yes, and we

332
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,159
will not publicize it. It will stay in our little

333
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,200
