00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers and Cubs getting set for Cactus League action

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.559
<v Speaker 1>here at Sloan Park, and I'm joined right now by

3
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>my favorite Caros, not Eric, his son Jared, who has

4
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>worked his way from UCLA all the way to big

5
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>league camp with the Dodgers. Jared, thanks a lot for

6
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the time, and man, like I told you, miles above

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>your dad right now.

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Dang, I like that introduction a lot. It's pretty awesome

9
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>being here just around all the guys. Obviously first big

10
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 2>league camp experience, so it's been pretty sweet so far.

11
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 1>You're here in the corner. You do not want to

12
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be noticed, do you?

13
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Hah? Yeah.

14
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of trying to stay out of it,

15
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>just learn as much as I can from the guys,

16
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>not getting anyone's way, but also trying to learn as

17
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>much as I can and just get better.

18
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>It's one thing to be in big league camp like

19
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>your brother Kyle with the Rockies. It's another to be

20
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 1>a minor leaguer in your first big league camp on

21
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 1>this team. What's it like just when you look around

22
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the clubhouse and you see all stars all over.

23
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's crazy, no doubt. I mean obviously, just

24
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>talking to my brother he's with the Rockies. Our experiences

25
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>are completely different so far. So just being able to

26
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>hear how his is and then me just looking around

27
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>seeing all the fans, all the reporters, it's pretty surreal.

28
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 3>Then obviously all the players. It's crazy.

29
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>When I talked to host Wade Depaula, his locker is

30
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>all the way down on the other end of yours,

31
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and he said he's just hoping not to be called

32
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning meetings. Are you looking for the

33
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>same thing.

34
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, that's obviously something you want to stay

35
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>out of. I think at some point it's going to come,

36
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>but as of now, I haven't been called yet.

37
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 3>So fingers crossed.

38
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>It feels like you're trying to blend in with this

39
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>wall behind you so nobody notices you.

40
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean yeah, that's a good way to put it.

41
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Just staying over here, minding my own business, doing my

42
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>own thing.

43
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Have you been able to watch bullpens of guys like

44
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Blake Snell or you know, Otani even throwing his bullpen.

45
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Have you been able to just be able to observe

46
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>those guys.

47
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I have.

48
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Actually I've watched a lot of guys throw and just

49
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>being able to see the way they go about their

50
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>business and how detailed they are, especially with the pitch execution.

51
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of the biggest thing I've noticed, like difference

52
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>wise from over here and obviously the minor league side,

53
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>So just being able to see the way they go

54
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>about their things has been pretty cool to see.

55
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>How do you take from that and put that into

56
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the pot that makes Jared Carrolls.

57
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously you try and take as much as you can,

58
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and then when I'm throwing my bullpens, I'm trying to

59
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>be as detailed as I can present with each pitch

60
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 2>and trying to execute pitches. So that's just kind of

61
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>something I've learned so far here.

62
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Jared Carrows is our guest in front of first pitch

63
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>between the Dodgers and Cubs. How much pride do you

64
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 1>take in the fact that you don't throw ninety eight,

65
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>but you've worked your way up from college to be

66
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in the position where people are starting to notice that

67
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>you're getting closer to being a major league pitcher.

68
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty cool.

69
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Obviously everyone has their strengths, and for me, it's always

70
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>been just being able to command my pitches and execute

71
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and attack hitters and game plan against them and all

72
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>that stuff.

73
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 3>So that's something I take a lot of pride in.

74
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's been cool to watch my journey so far,

75
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>and I'm excited for the future.

76
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Everybody always talks about the journey. How has the journey

77
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>been for you, even though you're still working on the

78
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>finished product.

79
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>It's been awesome, I would say, just where I'm at

80
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>now and versus where I first got drafted, it's night

81
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>and day with how much better I've gotten. So I'm

82
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>excited to see where things go. But right now, I'm

83
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 2>just focused on each day right now and getting better.

84
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, Jared, thanks a lot for the time. Really

85
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. It's great that you have a calendar on

86
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>your locker so you know when the games are.

87
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, for sure, thank you for having me.

88
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You threw live BP, so the next game? You ready

89
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 1>for the game?

90
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I think I'll throw on Saturday. So I'm excited.

91
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 3>You're looking forward to it?

92
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you disappointed that your dad will be there? Would

93
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>you prefer me to say stay somewhere else?

94
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 3>Now?

95
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I think we've talked about it and he said the

96
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 2>games I'm thrown in, he's going to be in the

97
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>stands or so.

98
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in the dugout, so he'll be out of

99
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the way for sure. All right, Jared, thanks a lot

100
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>for the time. Really appreciated. And like I said, number

101
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 1>one Carrols right here on Dodgers Radio.

102
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 3>There we go. Love to hear it. Thank you.
