WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Mea am Amina right now.

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.119
<v Speaker 2>Now it is the A team Sports Talk seven ninety

3
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Space City Home Network at the top of the hour.

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>But in the meantime, Bennett SUSA joining us on the

5
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 2>phone lines as promised Astro's relief pitcher. Uh, I hate

6
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 2>that we're having to talk to you after a type

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 2>of loss such as the one you guys suffered last night,

8
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But let's just start right there. When it's a game

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>like that, do you do you enjoy those games as

10
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>a pitcher where it's more of a and obviously a

11
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>pitcher's matchup for the majority of that kind of evening.

12
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, guys, Well, first off, thanks for having me on.

13
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it. You know, Yeah, last night was a

14
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 3>tough one. Uh. You know, we're in this thirteen game

15
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 3>stretch right here, you know, flying to California last night.

16
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, the boys are just you know, we're trying

17
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>out there give it her all. But as a pitcher, yeah,

18
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 3>you love that, especially with our bullpen. You know, we

19
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 3>feel like, you know, if the game is decided by

20
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 3>our we're gonna come out on top. Most of the times.

21
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Last night just wasn't our night.

22
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>That was a very good answer, saying you like those

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>type of games, considering that seems like all that you

24
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>guys play recently, Yeah, I.

25
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Mean for sure. I mean they're a lot of fun. Obviously,

26
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, we we like to win by ten runs,

27
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, all the time. But that that, you know,

28
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 3>that's not baseball. And you know, like I said before,

29
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>we like having the game in our bullpen's hands.

30
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Well, now that you and the team have made their

31
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>way to George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa and now

32
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, what are your

33
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.239
<v Speaker 1>thoughts about playing Major League baseball at an exhibition stadium

34
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 1>and a minor league ballpark.

35
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's it's definitely an adjustment to say, but

36
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 3>you know it's it's it's part of it. Like we

37
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 3>we got to get over it. These games count, they matter,

38
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>the stats matter. We gotta go out there and and

39
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 3>play and win these games.

40
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.040
<v Speaker 1>So, if I asked the simple question with maybe a

41
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>complicated answer, what's the simplest reason you would say you're

42
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>enjoying your most success thus far as a Major leaguer

43
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 1>this year?

44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I mean the guys in the bullpen. I can't

45
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 3>say enough about him. I mean, we just have such

46
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>a tight crew down there that is just a lot

47
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 3>of fun. We keep it super relaxed, you know me personally,

48
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm a pretty relaxed guy. So it helps out,

49
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, when things can get pretty stressful in that bullpen,

50
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 3>just having the guys support and the coaches support, and

51
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 3>just going out there and really just showing what I

52
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 3>can do. Well.

53
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you the part of last night's game

54
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>that I enjoyed the most, and that was Jose al

55
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Tuve coming up to the plate, getting booed all of

56
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe two pitches and then taking that ball just rocketing

57
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>it over into the over the fence and left field.

58
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I have to ask you a question, because you know,

59
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you haven't been here very long, but a lot of

60
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>us have and we see that. Does that make someone

61
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>like you who's kind of new to this relatively speaking,

62
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>as mad as it does everyone else who knows what

63
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of guy in that clubhouse Jose Altuve is and

64
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>probably the you know, the least participant if you will,

65
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>during that whole cheating scandal, just because you know who

66
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>he is. Does that kind of irritate you as much

67
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 2>as it does a guy like me?

68
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it's kind of just funny. I mean

69
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 3>it's he's the only guy left from that that era

70
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 3>of Houston Astro baseball, and we hear it all the

71
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 3>time in the bullpen. I mean it's it's the number

72
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 3>one shirp we get right, the trash can trash can uh.

73
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 3>And you know, Jose, I can't say enough good things

74
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>about him. He's one of the best teammates I've ever had.

75
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 3>He talks to everybody in the locker room. He's such

76
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 3>a big part of this team, and he has been

77
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 3>for so many years. You know, it sucks going to

78
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>away stadiums and hearing him get boot all the time,

79
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 3>But I think at this point, you know, he he's

80
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 3>used to it, and he enjoys it, and when he

81
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>gets his revenge like he did last night, it's even sweeter.

82
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me take you back, I guess on the

83
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>long way too, when you first got to to see

84
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what kind of team Jose al two they had twenty

85
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty three when you joined the Astros. But I want

86
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to ask you about your twenty twenty three year. First,

87
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>does it seem even possible that you were bouncing around

88
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>as much as you were that year with the Reds

89
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 1>and White Sox and Brewers and Tigers and Astros ultimately

90
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>pitching really really well for a month month with the Astros.

91
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that was a that was a crazy

92
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 3>year for me. I I always, you know, you got

93
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 3>to believe in yourself, obviously, in this in this sport

94
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 3>with so many highs and lows. And I always knew

95
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 3>because I had I had really good numbers in the

96
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.160
<v Speaker 3>minor leagues always going through I always knew that if

97
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>I just got a steady opportunity and chance and took

98
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>advantage of it, that that, you know, my career could

99
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 3>really take off. And I just always believed in that

100
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 3>and and and never straight away from that. And then

101
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 3>when I got to the Astros at the end of

102
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 3>that twenty three season, you know, I had some early success,

103
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and I had some some coaches that really that really

104
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 3>believed in me, and and and saw my potential and

105
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 3>and you know, I only I know, I only threw

106
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 3>seven innings that year, but I was battling injuries for

107
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>like two years with with the thorscic outlet stuff, and

108
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 3>I felt finally kind of normal at that time. You know. Obviously,

109
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 3>the following year I ended up having to get the surgery.

110
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 3>But I just knew that, you know, if I just

111
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 3>had my steady chance and took advantage of the opportunity

112
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>that that good things could happen.

113
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I certainly want to pick Bright back up there, But

114
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 1>I had already asked, what what did you think of

115
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 1>this clubhouse and jose L Twovey's role in it when

116
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>you first arrived that last month of the regular season

117
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 1>in twenty three.

118
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, immediately I knew why the Astros have been so

119
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 3>good for so many years. And it's that locker room.

120
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, it's changed now a little bit

121
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 3>since twenty three to now, but but the the idea

122
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 3>and the culture is still there. And it's just, you know,

123
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 3>we played for each other. We're all we're all a

124
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 3>tight knit group.

125
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

126
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 3>There's not one personal locker room that you know is

127
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 3>going against the grain. It's it's really it makes it

128
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 3>fun when you're playing for your brothers. Uh. And that's

129
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 3>what I really enjoy about this team in this locker room.

130
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, and in that van. It kind of sets me

131
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 2>up for this question. You know, you talked about what

132
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 2>a leader Altuve is from a pitching perspective. Is there

133
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>anybody that you gravitated towards. Is there anybody that kind

134
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 2>of helped you out, maybe even you know, unprovoked. I

135
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know how it goes, obviously, and everybody's different. Is

136
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>there somebody that you can point to, some buddies that

137
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>have kind of taken you under their wing, helped you out?

138
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 3>What have you? Yeah, I mean there's a couple of

139
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 3>guys for sure. The first one is Josh Hater. I

140
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 3>mean he's my catch play partner, being the best lefty

141
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 3>in the reliever in the league. Uh, you know, I

142
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>try to I try to do everything that guy does

143
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>because I want to know, I want to be like him.

144
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 3>And he's just he's he's an open book. He's always

145
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>trying to help. Uh, He's picks my brain, I pick

146
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 3>his brain. And and he's just a great leader for

147
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 3>that bullpen, especially, you know, a bullpen with four lefties

148
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 3>in it. Him leading us all is awesome. And then

149
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 3>last year, you know, I was rehabbing a lot, and

150
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I was here in Houston for half the year, and

151
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>I spent a lot of time with Lance because he

152
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 3>was rehabbing as well, and just seeing how that guy,

153
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, because he was real, he was rehabed for

154
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 3>a long time and just going through you know, just

155
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 3>seeing what he was doing, trying to you know, come

156
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 3>to the park with a with a positive attitude every

157
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 3>day even though you know you can't contribute to the team.

158
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 3>That helped me a lot last year. So Lance was

159
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 3>a big part of that for me.

160
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>What was it like when I assume this happened, when

161
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 1>one of your pitching coaches Josh or Murph came to

162
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 1>you and said, we got some data on your slider.

163
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>They don't hit it.

164
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.120
<v Speaker 3>We'd like you to throw it more. You know, It's

165
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 3>funny because because every team, every stop that I've had

166
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 3>like that, that is the that's the one thing they

167
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 3>always say, like, hey, throw your slider. But with these guys,

168
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>for some reason, like they really they really trusted it

169
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.079
<v Speaker 3>that like you know, this is a really good pitch

170
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.000
<v Speaker 3>and and you know it might take some time for

171
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 3>us to for it to really play on the big leagues,

172
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 3>but like when it does, it's gonna be worth the wait.

173
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>And uh, you know, I love Josh and and and Murph.

174
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 3>They're they're they're the two best pitching coaches for me personally.

175
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 3>They keep things light, uh, and they really know how

176
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 3>to to the scoutter reports and things like that. Uh,

177
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 3>for us to all succeed.

178
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel like we keep getting the opportunity to

179
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>ask this question of our astros pitching guests.

180
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

181
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And it's the first time in all of our years broadcasting,

182
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>we've ever been able to ask it. What's it like

183
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>having a a pitching staff and a bullpen so overrun

184
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>with left handers.

185
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, guys, it's amazing. You know, you don't see it. Uh.

186
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 3>You know, we we we take a lot of pride

187
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>in being left handed in that bullpen. Uh, and now

188
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 3>in our starting rotation as well. Uh. But you know,

189
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>we gotta give some love to our right he's down

190
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.879
<v Speaker 3>there in the bullpen too, you know, Brian and Bray

191
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 3>who's Brayhe? I know, he he. He had a tough

192
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 3>one last night, but he's been unbelievable all year long. Uh.

193
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, just it feels like the eighth and ninth

194
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 3>ending are just lockdown endings for us every time. Uh.

195
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 3>And then you know, we got Sean Duban, who you know,

196
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 3>I know he was hurt the first couple of months

197
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 3>of the year, but I mean he's been he's been

198
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 3>a workhorse for us. Uh, out of that bullpen and

199
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 3>and those innings you know might go unnotice to some people,

200
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 3>but to us in that bullpen, I mean, we see

201
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 3>what he's doing, and it's incredible.

202
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>As a fellow left left handed person. Uh, in in

203
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>an erow where everybody wakes up and figures out something

204
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 2>they need to come complain about it every single day.

205
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you with me that you feel like we are

206
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>more discriminated against than most people in society with things

207
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>like spiral notebooks with the binding on the left hand side.

208
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.519
<v Speaker 2>That's crap, isn't it?

209
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Yeah, one hundred percent. Uh, you know, we get

210
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I think Josh Josh is a fake lefty, and I

211
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 3>think DK is a fake lefty too. I think I

212
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 3>think Steve and I are the only true lefties where

213
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 3>we do everything left handed. So you know, I I

214
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 3>hear you on that. With with all the the other

215
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 3>stuff that we got to deal with, makes.

216
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Me curious, is Chaz or or Jake are they fake

217
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>lefties or real lefties?

218
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I you know, I think, well, Chaz Bat's right handed,

219
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 3>so you know, but but uh, you know, I don't know.

220
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean they go left and Bat right. I'm just

221
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to dump both those. I'd call him fake lefties.

222
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Even if I don't know the answer.

223
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>We know that Bennets Susa is a true lefty.

224
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 3>That's all that matters, all right. Yeah, but hey, I'm

225
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 3>not I'm not as weird as most lefties.

226
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that, No me, neither are you asking

227
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>us to ask you who the weirdest lefty on the

228
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>team is?

229
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like it, I mean, I mean, that's an easy answer.

230
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 3>It's Steve. I mean oker, He's the he's the clown

231
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 3>of the bullpen. We love him a lot. You know,

232
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 3>he's been such a such a great addition to this team.

233
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 3>He's kind of I mean, he's a leader on the team.

234
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 3>He really is. He keeps everything light and he's definitely

235
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 3>he's our He's our clown lefty for sure.

236
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to admit his body language when he hums

237
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>his way through a three pitch, three swings and misses strikeout,

238
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.200
<v Speaker 1>it's legendary. Oh okay, I did it again, back to

239
