00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>been working with the Dodgers. I mean, it's not funny

80
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>games for snail Zilla around this time.

81
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 4>No, I got a lot, you know, a lot to prove,

82
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 4>and I gotta I gotta get ready. I gotta learn

83
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 4>the spring what spring train is going to be like

84
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>with a new team, learn the coaches, players, kind of

85
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 4>figure out where I'm gonna fit in, where I want

86
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 4>what I want to do every morning to get ready

87
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 4>to play. So yeah, I mean getting down there early

88
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 4>is probably what's best for me to to to be

89
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 4>ready to be the best me once once the season starts.

90
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>You've been on now four teams in your career. Yeah,

91
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>You've always wanted a home, always just wanted a home.

92
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>It feels like you found a home. How much does

93
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>that make it more comfortable to know this isn't just

94
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 2>a one year thing.

95
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's big. I finally get to like buy homes. Yeah,

96
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 4>I get to really invest into not only myself, but

97
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 4>the players that are coming up with the Rays. The

98
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 4>thing that they did best is the older players really

99
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 4>did help the younger players a lot, and I was spoiled.

100
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 4>I had so many veterans around me to really help

101
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 4>grow me as a man a player, and that that's

102
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 4>kind of what I'm looking forward to do as well,

103
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>the best that I can. But I've already been meeting

104
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 4>with a couple of guys. Bobby's kind of been Bobby Ice,

105
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 4>that's what you call him. Yeah, Yeah, that's Bobby Miller.

106
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.319
<v Speaker 4>He reminds me a lot of just me when I

107
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 4>was younger, and I feel there's a lot I can

108
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 4>do to help him kind of mature into his career

109
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 4>and just start believing in his ability more so. That's

110
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>a guy I'll be around a lot. He might know

111
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 4>that he might not, but that's awesome. I see a

112
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>lot of similarities there, so definitely looking forward to that.

113
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 4>But for my playing career, Kershaw is kind of the

114
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 4>guy I can't wait to meet him be around him.

115
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 4>The thing going out on Instagram my search feed everywhere

116
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 4>as one hundred and ninety nine starts of or one

117
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 4>hundred and ninety three starts of an era under a

118
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 4>two and seven innings average, Like that's insane. I want

119
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 4>to find a way to do that, to be as

120
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 4>good as he was. I think I'm just getting into

121
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 4>my prime. I think I got a lot left, so

122
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 4>I really want to see how good I can really

123
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 4>be and invest everything I can into these next five years.

124
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 4>But I think I really have like eight years left. Yeah,

125
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 4>you do until I think I might not be the

126
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 4>same guy, and then when that's over with, I'll go

127
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 4>be a dad and I'll be happy with that. But

128
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 4>once I'm not as good as I believe I should

129
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 4>be and making a career out that I want, I'll

130
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 4>be good to walk away.

131
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 3>We always reinvent ourselves. We always have to evolve.

132
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>I've heard athletes talk about training differently once they hit

133
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>their thirties, but it feels like even last year, you

134
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 2>started to evolve as a pitcher to stay in games

135
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>deeper and being allowed number one, be allowed to stay

136
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 2>in games later.

137
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's a comfort I have with Bob Melvin and

138
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 4>I text to him a bunch, especially before the trade

139
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 4>or before I signed, and then after I signed. But

140
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 4>he I really love Bob Melvin. He he really would

141
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 4>would talk to me all the time about what he expects,

142
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 4>what I expect, how to get there. Uh, he would

143
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.360
<v Speaker 4>leave me out in the game. He always trusted me,

144
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 4>and it made it so much fun to pitch, you know,

145
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 4>for him and that team. Uh feel san Diego, san

146
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 4>fran But he's really an amazing manager. So that was

147
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 4>something that that I really loved. Was just a comfort

148
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 4>he would bring me pitching, knowing that, you know, this

149
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 4>is my game as long as as I want to

150
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 4>be out there and can help the team, and he

151
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>has my back the whole way through.

152
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I love what you said at your press conference when

153
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>you said I'm going to invest in people on this team.

154
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I just need them to invest in me as well.

155
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's what every player strives forwards. If

156
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>you want to be part of it, I'll invest everything

157
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>in you, but you've got to invest in me as well.

158
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and for me, for me, that's everything. It's tough

159
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 4>to be on a team and then say like, hey,

160
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna make all these players better, but I'm only

161
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 4>here for one year. Yeah, it's like, so gonna make

162
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 4>them all better? To then you're not gonna want to

163
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 4>sign me? Like that's where the business part comes in.

164
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 4>You don't like it, but it's it's the reality. And

165
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, you got to look at it that way too,

166
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 4>to where now you know this team invested in me,

167
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 4>I can invest in there, in them, their players, and

168
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna mean that much more. You know, every game

169
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.079
<v Speaker 4>you win is gonna matter, every everything you do matters.

170
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 4>And I love that feeling so much more. Having my

171
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 4>own home, being able to say, you know what, like

172
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 4>I can spend the whole off season in LA that's

173
00:07:58.680 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 4>important to me.

174
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to tell the stories that people don't know.

175
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I think they're starting to see this side of Blake

176
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Snell But another side of Blake Snell is the fact

177
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>that you've pitched the majority of your career without a

178
