Speaker 1: welcome back.
Speaker 8: Hey, it's great to be back.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, it's tough to announce baseball games because well
Speaker 4: there is downtime. So I've got some you know, some
Speaker 4: stories and some jokes I can share with you, just
Speaker 4: to Sprea go in there when you're calling, when you're
Speaker 4: calling bats.
Speaker 8: Basically we probably used them all.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 8: Tune in this, Jim Couch and me for for home games.
Speaker 2: Well, you guys are great.
Speaker 8: We'll get crazy. Guys are the wall when things get
Speaker 8: out of hand.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you make it entertaining and fun and keep it informed.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great deal. And I listened to
Speaker 1: him on seven ninety all the time.
Speaker 2: So drive it home for wherever.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate you guys believing in us and and
Speaker 1: coming back home. Uh seven nineties where you all belong.
Speaker 1: That's where you belong.
Speaker 2: I got a question for Nick. So you've been calling
Speaker 2: the games for years. You do damn good job. You're
Speaker 2: you are. I'm not saying that you're here, but you're
Speaker 2: you're really, really good. App You're really good at what
Speaker 2: you do. Oh, I'm sorry, I was I not the
Speaker 2: sound effect.
Speaker 1: You're kissing his ass right now? Do you don't have
Speaker 1: to set him up with a compliment.
Speaker 2: You're a journalist. I'm the journalist, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: No, so, Nick, do you still get nervous going in
Speaker 4: to call the games? Because we do this every day
Speaker 4: and I'm not always nervous coming.
Speaker 1: In, but something we don't care, so.
Speaker 2: We do you get nervous before you take the mic?
Speaker 2: Because I got it. It's a lot of pressure, man.
Speaker 8: No, really, no, no, so many.
Speaker 6: I mean maybe certain things if like PK was about
Speaker 6: to win his two thousandth game last year and you
Speaker 6: don't want to like mess that up, and so that
Speaker 6: makes you nervous. Yeah, stuff like that. You get nervous
Speaker 6: during the game as things play out, but not not
Speaker 6: as it starts. Like if there's a potentially like big
Speaker 6: walk off, or if there's like a no hitter happening
Speaker 6: or something like that, you get nervously.
Speaker 1: I think the hardest part of your job, yeah, is pronouncing.
Speaker 2: Well that's okay, That's where I was going. You can
Speaker 2: be you know what can You'll be.
Speaker 4: Great if you just flawlessly pronounce all the difficult names,
Speaker 4: like you know a Lejandro he does do that, but yeah,
Speaker 4: really screw up the names like Bob Henderson, Bob hen
Speaker 4: darry on the.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Nick, fantastic news back home on seven ninety.
Speaker 1: I think that is fantas I said, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see the call letters up on the on the
Speaker 1: on the whether whether the box is there and started.
Speaker 1: We still have the news of the possibility of the
Speaker 1: of the remodel at Slugger Field, which is in in
Speaker 1: play and it could be the model that they use
Speaker 1: across the country. I got to tell you, Greg, I've
Speaker 1: talked to a million people that they're so excited about that,
Speaker 1: like that's the topic of the city basically, because that
Speaker 1: will turn everything around.
Speaker 5: And I'm hoping maybe in the next few months we'll
Speaker 5: have some more information. A lot of stuff going on
Speaker 5: right now behind the scenes. Okay, we'll keep hopefully.
Speaker 2: I want to shift back to Pat Kelly.
Speaker 4: So, Pat Kelly, you get into it every once in
Speaker 4: a while with the umpires. Do you ever think, hey,
Speaker 4: when the same umpire comes back, they might hold a
Speaker 4: grudge against you.
Speaker 2: You all know them, right, I mean you with them
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 4: Do you ever think, hey, I went too far Now
Speaker 4: he's going to hold a grudge against me?
Speaker 2: And no, not really.
Speaker 9: I mean I think it's very important that if I
Speaker 9: got ejected the night before. Always make sure I take
Speaker 9: the lineups up the next day and you know, try
Speaker 9: to say some kind of joke and be joevealed, just
Speaker 9: to show that you know that I'm not upset, Okay,
Speaker 9: And then usually they're pretty good about it.
Speaker 1: And do you fraternize with them on the road, like
Speaker 1: if you see.
Speaker 2: Them in the bar? Oh no?
Speaker 5: No, Hey, guys, we got a solution for this also, okay,
Speaker 5: And of August, we're giving away a Pat Kelly bobblehead.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 5: And the pose we have is, of course Pat arguing
Speaker 5: with an umpire. So our thought is we're going to
Speaker 5: put these in the umpire's locker room when they first
Speaker 5: get to the ballpark, may greet them.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be.
Speaker 1: That's gotta be super cool for you, like you're ablehead
Speaker 1: and you're yelling at her.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's perfect. I mean, I think there was three
Speaker 9: straight years between Pensylcola and Louisville where my baseball card
Speaker 9: that came out every year was arguing with an.
Speaker 8: I thought it was perfect.
Speaker 1: Do you curse in these arguments or you keep it clean?
Speaker 1: Depends on the violation.
Speaker 9: I have only done one argument where I did not cuss,
Speaker 9: did not cuss, And that was only because I was
Speaker 9: managing in Chattanooga and they tell vise about four or
Speaker 9: five games, and so I was miked and they did
Speaker 9: all kinds of funny things are different things. Bairyfoot was
Speaker 9: the color commentator, and he actually sat in the dugout
Speaker 9: one night and we were getting no hit and I
Speaker 9: actually walked up to him in the sixth thing and
Speaker 9: I said, I said, if we don't get to hit
Speaker 9: this inning.
Speaker 2: You're gone, right right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.
Speaker 9: And so anyway, I miked, and I remember telling my
Speaker 9: daughter Mike because my daughter was young, and she'd get
Speaker 9: really upset whenever I started to argue. She'd run onto
Speaker 9: the concourse. I always have to get her and say,
Speaker 9: you know, and she goes, oh, daddy's gonna come home.
Speaker 9: He's going to be mad tonight. So I told her that,
Speaker 9: you know, it was just part of my job. So
Speaker 9: last Diaz, who's still a big ly gun party, he
Speaker 9: misses a call at third base and I go racing
Speaker 9: out of the dugout and I get about halfway out,
Speaker 9: I remember that I miked, and there's no there is
Speaker 9: no five seconds. So I actually did this whole argument,
Speaker 9: got ejected and did not cuss one time. It was
Speaker 9: the hard It was the hardest thing I've ever done
Speaker 9: in my law.
Speaker 2: I guarantee it was.
Speaker 9: And then I was able to take the videotape and
Speaker 9: show it to my daughter and tell her, see, this
Speaker 9: is Daddy's just doing his job.
Speaker 8: He's not really bad.
Speaker 5: The best part about it is a year ago or
Speaker 5: two years ago, I'm down there on weather situation, so
Speaker 5: I'm sitting close to the field and he gets into
Speaker 5: it and his great line was, why do.
Speaker 2: You think you were in the bunk?
Speaker 10: Yeah, minor leagues terrible And I've used that before, dude,
Speaker 10: rather because uh, yeah, you're here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 9: Part of my job is just being honest.
Speaker 2: I wants to deal with the dirt, kicking the dirt
Speaker 2: on the shoes. Who started that? You don't do that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I assure you do, right. You know what.
Speaker 9: I have never kicked dirt on an umpire. I kicked
Speaker 9: it on the plate stuff like that. But I think
Speaker 9: that started.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I remember we were doing it when I when I
Speaker 9: growing up and Billy Martin and all that. But I'm
Speaker 9: sure that was the thing back in the day. I
Speaker 9: know in Japan at one time you could actually kick
Speaker 9: him in the shin oh. And I always thought I
Speaker 9: want to manage in Japan.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Do you ever last question?
Speaker 2: We'll move on.
Speaker 1: Ame there a bats Baseball dot coll for tickets. Do
Speaker 1: you ever go into the game knowing you're gonna get
Speaker 1: thrown out?
Speaker 2: Or you walk out? I'm gonna get thrown out tonight.
Speaker 9: You know it's funny because I will say something to
Speaker 9: my coaches and say, you know what I'm going tonight
Speaker 9: and I don't get ejected, and then there's then there's
Speaker 9: nights for I'm like very calm and.
Speaker 2: You get thrown out.
Speaker 5: He'll come to us and say, do you need me
Speaker 5: to get tossed? And I do you need some time
Speaker 5: for fireworks?
Speaker 8: It's not dark yet. You know the game's.
Speaker 2: So do you ever do it just to fire up
Speaker 2: the team and the fans? Or do you every time
Speaker 2: pissed off? No?
Speaker 9: I think what it comes down to for me is,
Speaker 9: you know if I come out there Andy, Hey, you
Speaker 9: know PK, that was really a close play. I was,
Speaker 9: I was in a great position. It was bang bang,
Speaker 9: and I think I got it right. Now, how can
Speaker 9: I argue with that, isn't that When I go out
Speaker 9: there and that guy gives me that look like what
Speaker 9: are you doing?
Speaker 8: Then it's over.
Speaker 1: There's there's an advertising possibility.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, okay, all right, definitely.
