194
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 5>All right, Hey guys, good morning morning, Steve. I played

195
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 5>against you in high school.

196
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 4>You did last year?

197
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 5>You played for Marshall High. Where'd you go to baseball game? Been?

198
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 5>I went to Folesome, Okay, I was. I was a

199
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 5>sophomore and I got called up to the show and

200
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.480
<v Speaker 5>an injury. Anyway, the most amazing baseball player I've ever

201
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 5>seen until show. Heytni's game the other day and that

202
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 5>was the best I've ever seen. I think it was

203
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 5>your third at BET. I went out to the picture

204
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 5>and I said, hey, you know, let's not waste our time.

205
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 5>It's almost fastball across the outside corner. I hope he

206
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 5>doesn't hit a triple. It was, it was, It was amazing.

207
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Now I want to talk about Fernando a little bit.

208
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, anybody who's ever known anything about baseball, even

209
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.960
<v Speaker 5>if they never saw him play, knows what pos he's

210
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 5>going to be in in that statue, don't we all.

211
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:30.679
<v Speaker 5>I don't even have to describe it. We all know

212
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 5>what it's going to be. And when I think of

213
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.919
<v Speaker 5>that picture, I hear Vin Scully talking about, you know,

214
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 5>having spend a lifetime listening to Vinnie. And the thing

215
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 5>about Fernando that keeps occurring to me is people talk

216
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 5>about how nice he was and what a wonderful guy

217
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 5>he was to meet. There was a way that he

218
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 5>that he held himself and the way that he walked

219
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 5>that that had a confidence that you know, didn't come

220
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 5>out of his mouth. You know, we all walked, some

221
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 5>of us strut you know, he strode, he broke well

222
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.519
<v Speaker 5>who was walking out to that mound? He said, this

223
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 5>is what I'm gonna do. And when he was walking

224
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.080
<v Speaker 5>off and he was going, see, I told.

225
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 4>You, yeah, awesome, You're right, Mike.

226
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate right, buddy. All right, somebody who competed against

227
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you in high school saxy and put you on that

228
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>high I know right where that is. You guys spank

270
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 4>me running around third right there, there was a picture

271
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 4>of me doing the trot. You know, there was a

272
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 4>home run trot, and I never hit very many, so

273
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I knew when I was doing it that was off

274
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.039
<v Speaker 4>at Dave Stewart.

275
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.320

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 1>teams in Venezuela.

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 4>He was with Zulia and I was with Racas Leon

280
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 4>de Caracas.

281
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>So how long is the Winter League down? There's like

282
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 1>three months?

283
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 4>Four months? Really, I was down there, right. I think

284
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 4>I missed the parade. I had to go down there.

285
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.600
<v Speaker 4>I was down to the whole time, and I miss Christmas,

286
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 4>I missed Thanksgiving, I missed all that, missed my birthday

287
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 4>and got back, I had like three or four days

288
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 4>off and I was going to Big Lee camp. That

289
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.799
<v Speaker 4>was it. Three or four days off the whole winner

290
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 4>and I was in Big Lee camp. Its just like fast.

291
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>How much did that help you going into that nineteen

292
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>eighty two season which you wanted to helped a lot.

293
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 4>And what really helped a lot is the fact that

294
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 4>I got to come up in eighty one and you know,

295
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.279
<v Speaker 4>have like a little over one hundred at bats. It

296
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 4>wasn't a full season, it wasn't counted the season, so

297
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 4>the next year was my rookie year. But it helped

298
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 4>a lot. But going down in Venezuela, it was really

299
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.919
<v Speaker 4>good brand of baseball too. It was a solid triple

300
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 4>A maybe low big leagues, you know that, that kind

301
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.440
<v Speaker 4>of right in there, and it was It was great.

302
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 4>It helped a lot, very much a cultural experience on anything.

303
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>That's a great experience to go down that's where you

304
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.279
<v Speaker 1>learn your Spanish down there and journey those Spanish Yeah.

305
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 4>No, I took it in high school and then I

306
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 4>tried to practice as much as I can when I

307
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 4>was down there and with your teammates you liked. I

308
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 4>like to practice it because I love the Spanish language.

309
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:54.799
<v Speaker 4>I think it's beautiful and it's not a real difficult

310
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 4>language to learn. Now you try to throw some Japanese

311
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 4>or German at me, nah, I don't think I could

312
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.360
<v Speaker 4>do it, but Spanish is pretty.

313
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Is Marshall High School closed now in Sacramento.

314
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 4>James Marshall High School closed when I graduated in seventy eight.

315
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 4>They closed it afterwards and they combined our school, James Marshall,

316
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.399
<v Speaker 4>with our crosstown rival, which is Washington High School, and

317
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 4>they made this big, beautiful school now called River City

318
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 4>High School. So now Marshall High School is a is

319
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 4>a River City High School is a derivative of Marshall

320
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 4>and Washington High School.

321
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 1>So all your records though, carry over though, right.

322
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't know. I think they did because

323
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.679
<v Speaker 4>I was so I was so grateful and so humbled

324
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 4>that when they they started River City High School, they

325
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>retired my number and gave me my jersey, and I

326
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 4>think they said that the records are going to stay

327
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 4>there through through River City. So I haven't checked. I

328
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.000
<v Speaker 4>don't know if they're there now, and maybe they're broken,

329
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.279
<v Speaker 4>but I don't know. It was just such an honor

330
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 4>though it was. It was great, great ceremony.

331
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 1>What number did you wear in high school that's now

332
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 1>retired there?

333
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 4>I were number threeumber three, yep, And that's why I

334
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 4>wanted it in the big leagues. I love number three.

335
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 4>That's just my favorite number.

336
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>How come you weren't a Grant High School pacer?

337
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.200
<v Speaker 4>That they got some good athletes over there. Grant High

338
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 4>School is always in the top in baseball, football, and basketball.

339
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Was that not an option for you up there

340
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Sacramento area?

341
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

342
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>It was, it was.

343
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 4>No, I wasn't. I didn't live in that area, Okay,

344
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 4>so you have to go, you know kind of where

345
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 4>you lived. I lived way out in the country. I

346
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:24.960
<v Speaker 4>lived out on a farm and so James Marshall was

347
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 4>the only one I could go to.

348
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Interesting. Yeah, see, I picture Sacramento is like, you know,

349
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>fort city square blocks and then it's there's just farmland

350
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.039
<v Speaker 1>after that.

351
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, it's it's pretty big. Now there's probably you know,

352
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.759
<v Speaker 4>with the A's coming here and they wonder if people

353
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 4>can support up here in northern California. There's no question.

354
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 4>I'd say there's probably with all the surrounding areas well

355
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 4>over a million and a half people that will support it.

356
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 4>And you know, right now, the tickets for the Sacramento A's,

357
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if they're going to be called the

358
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 4>Sacramento A's, but they're basically sold out now. They're they're

359
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.759
<v Speaker 4>already gone. So how many is it going to hold?

360
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 4>Like seventy five hundred tenth thos No, it holds just

361
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.320
<v Speaker 4>under fifteen thousand.

362
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow.

363
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so they're gonna triple. They're gonna triple the attendance

364
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 4>that they've had at Oakland, which is about five thousand

365
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 4>a game.

366
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 1>I think right now that's crazy.

367
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 4>And so they're gonna get all the way to fifteen thousand,

368
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, just right out of the gate. So that's

369
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 4>good for them.

370
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>That is awesome. That's gonna be a fun atmosphere up

371
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 1>in Sacramento when they start playing up there this next season.

372
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know they're gonna call them the Sacramento As

373
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 1>or I.

374
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.960
<v Speaker 4>Think they're just gonna call me athletics, okay, because they're

375
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 4>not sure. You know, I know the owner up here,

376
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.600
<v Speaker 4>the vague he wants to buy the team. He already

377
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 4>bought the River Cats. Of course, he owns the Sacramento Kings.

378
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 4>Now he wants to buy the A's and if he does,

379
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.480
<v Speaker 4>he's ready to build the stadium and it's gonna beautiful.

380
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:41.879
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. Le Let's get a final call in here

<v Speaker 1>up on him there, so I apologize the River City Raiders.

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 3>from you know, a small town in Mexico to do

453
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:10.960
<v Speaker 3>what he did as a player, getting the opportunity coach

454
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 3>is show you that anybody can do that if they

455
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 3>if they got to desire and then believe in themselves.

456
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 3>And Freddie had a marveled, a marvelous career uh as

457
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 3>a player. And when he came to La and Stevie

458
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 3>was there, he took off like a rocket. It was

459
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 3>just unbelievable what this kid could do.

460
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, hey, Timmy, I gotta I gotta say this to Steve.

461
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm so glad you're with us today. And Steve Yeager

462
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.599
<v Speaker 4>is one of the guys I watched growing up. And

463
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.480
<v Speaker 4>when I finally got in the big leagues, I was

464
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.240
<v Speaker 4>he was one of the guys I was, you know,

465
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.680
<v Speaker 4>enamored of just being around because he was such a

466
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.519
<v Speaker 4>big leaguer. But Steve, Steve Yeager is the only guy

467
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 4>I can tell you that actually really hurt my hand

468
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 4>when he was throwing the ball down to second Basely

469
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.640
<v Speaker 4>he had Tim tim People talk about, uh, you know

470
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Johnny Bench, how great of a catcher Johnny Bench was.

471
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 4>And you have many, many people, not just a smattering

472
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.960
<v Speaker 4>of people. Many people say, well, you know, Steve Yeger

473
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 4>was as good and some people will say it's Jaeger

474
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:10.359
<v Speaker 4>then bench as far as being a great catcher, that's

475
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 4>how great Steve Yeger was behind the.

476
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Dish, that's very nice.

477
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely cure Steve.

478
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 4>And we all know it is an absolute truth. And

479
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.000
<v Speaker 4>so Steve catching Fernando, tell tell the world what it

480
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 4>is like about that screwball that he had, How he

481
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.799
<v Speaker 4>could vary the pitch, the height on it, the you know,

482
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 4>the speed, and he was able to use that thing

483
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 4>almost like a right handed curveball.

484
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't he Well he was, And I think with Fernando

485
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 3>and I gotta go back and see that at twenty

486
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 3>years old, he pitched like he was twenty seven, twenty

487
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.160
<v Speaker 3>eight years old. He pitched like a true veteran. Wasn't

488
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.720
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't flushed in any way, shape or form. But

489
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:49.039
<v Speaker 3>I ever saw him. I never saw him upset. Even

490
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 3>if he was in a jam, he managed to get

491
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.200
<v Speaker 3>himself out. And it was just remarkable that the maturity,

492
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 3>that's just shuk Man hand. And as far as that

493
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 3>curveball and shrewball, it was like reminds me of Tommy John.

494
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 3>All I had to do was tell Fernando where the

495
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 3>hit or was he was up on the plate, which

496
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 3>just went along further outside. If it was back, we

497
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.119
<v Speaker 3>can bring it on the plate more. And if he's

498
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 3>up in the box, all those things just mattering. It's

499
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.119
<v Speaker 3>just a little things that Freddy had the ability to make.

500
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 3>You just look for it and look for it and

501
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:19.079
<v Speaker 3>look for it, and all of a sudden, here comes

502
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 3>a little eighty five on hour fastball and your froze.

503
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.359
<v Speaker 3>You have no idea what's going on because you're looking

504
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 3>for that screwtball. And he could throw it anytime. That

505
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 3>was That was the amazing thing. He had the accomfidence

506
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 3>in himself to uh to throw it at anytime three

507
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 3>and two, three and oh he didn't care. He threw

508
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 3>it and whenever it felt like he threw it and

509
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:39.640
<v Speaker 3>was able to throw strikes. And that's the key is

510
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:41.279
<v Speaker 3>being able to throw strikes.

511
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 4>Steve.

512
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>When you watch baseball now and catchers nowadays dropping to

513
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:50.960
<v Speaker 1>one knee, nobody blots the setting up too early. The

514
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 1>PitchCom device. Uh it's I imagine it's maddening sitting watching

515
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.759
<v Speaker 1>a baseball game and as a catcher, you're watching these

516
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>guys not block balls go to one knee, set up

517
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.559
<v Speaker 1>too early, and I guess, what, what do you want

518
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>when you're watching games? What are you thinking?

519
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I try to watch it, you know, as much I can,

520
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 3>because it's they move their gloves so much that if

521
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 3>I was on part of that, if I saw you

522
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 3>move it to the ball, I don't care. I mean,

523
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 3>they take a perfectly good pitch, is on the plate

524
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:23.519
<v Speaker 3>and they move their glove. Why just receive the ball properly.

525
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. If you're on your knees, run your head,

526
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:28.519
<v Speaker 3>receive the ball properly, you know, keep the ball in

527
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 3>the striking zone, and don't be moving it two feet

528
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 3>when you don't have to move it at all.

529
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 1>This pitch frame is ridiculous. It's become an art now

530
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 1>for current catchers about how to properly catch a ball

531
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and get it and steal an extra strike.

532
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that's it, you said a word frame of strike.

533
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:46.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean when they said about framing with me, I

534
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.559
<v Speaker 3>thought you were building a dish on your house. But

535
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.640
<v Speaker 3>I always thought that if I received the ball properly

536
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 3>and receive the ball in the strike zone and make

537
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.480
<v Speaker 3>sure that the guy behind me got a good view

538
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 3>of the pitch I could, I could, I could get

539
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:01.359
<v Speaker 3>pitches that might be a all off the plate. And

540
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 3>if I you know, I didn't make if I made

541
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 3>you up, I look good. I was looking good. And

542
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.279
<v Speaker 3>that was the I kept the pinchers off of him

543
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 3>and I was getting some pitches. So it's changed over

544
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 3>the ear. I think they feel that you're down on

545
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 3>one knee. You can, you can get the low pitch better.

546
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 3>But I saw some balls in the last playoff section

547
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 3>that I'm surprised the guy never broken thumb.

548
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Steve, along those lines. Next year, there's some talk

549
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.640
<v Speaker 4>that they may be going to the automatic balls and strikes,

550
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 4>the A B S. I don't I mean, I I

551
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 4>don't know where this is going. Steve. I'm with you

552
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 4>on this stuff. I'm okay with going with the flow.

553
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 4>But man, how about all these rule changes and talk

554
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.079
<v Speaker 4>about the abs, the automatic balls and strikes. I'm not

555
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker 4>for it myself.

556
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.200
<v Speaker 3>No, no, you know, the human error has been around

557
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.960
<v Speaker 3>for a long time. And then we're gonna have robot players.

558
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 3>We're not going you know, so you program a robot

559
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 3>to go out and play so you don't have any mistakes.

560
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Mistakes are part of the game. You know, middle mistake,

561
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 3>So a player you want to eliminate as much as

562
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 3>you can. Physical physical mistakes and physical heirs are part

563
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 3>of the games that around one hundred and fifty sixty years,

564
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.480
<v Speaker 3>So it's there. But as far as calling balls and strikes,

565
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I you know, I mean, they're going

566
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.680
<v Speaker 3>to go too far.

567
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.200
<v Speaker 1>The Great Steve Vieger with us here on AM five

568
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy LA Sports as we get ready for Game one

569
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of the World Series tomorrow night. Is the Dodgers and

570
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees. Last time these two teams met up was

571
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty one. You were a co MVP of that

572
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:31.079
<v Speaker 1>World Series, a World Series champion eighty one, Steve, and

573
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.799
<v Speaker 1>it was finally an opportunity for this Dodgers team to

574
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 1>get over the hump and beat that Yankees team that

575
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 1>you guys had lost to two previous years in the

576
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.319
<v Speaker 1>late seventies. That World Series win?

577
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 4>How much?

578
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>How much were you guys going into that series just

579
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.039
<v Speaker 1>looking to beat this Yankees team finally and then finally

580
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>doing it. What was that feeling like?

581
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think it was the greatest feeling you could

582
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 3>have because we we thought that we had a pretty

583
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 3>good team of seventy seven and seventy eight and didn't

584
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 3>quite do the job. So eighty one we felt like

585
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.240
<v Speaker 3>collectively that if we were ever going to do it together,

586
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 3>that was going to be here, because we had, uh,

587
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.519
<v Speaker 3>we had rumors of down down in the minor leagues

588
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.720
<v Speaker 3>that there was a few young guys down there, and

589
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 3>and Stevie and and uh, Mike Marshall and Greg Brock

590
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 3>were were pounding at the door. So we might not

591
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 3>have the opportunity after this. And I think the Game

592
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.440
<v Speaker 3>three that Fernando pitched, uh and It's a complete game

593
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 3>kind of kind of set the thing that, Okay, we

594
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 3>can do this. And then we went on to win

595
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.079
<v Speaker 3>the game. And then of course you know that big

596
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 3>controversy between Tommy John and the manager and left Tommy

597
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 3>chuck him out and we opened up the game at

598
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.240
<v Speaker 3>that point in time. But I think this World series

599
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 3>right here is going to be a terrific one.

600
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the.

601
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.039
<v Speaker 3>Yankees have got four guys with Stanton and Judge and so,

602
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.960
<v Speaker 3>and we got some power with Bates and and o'tawney

603
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:52.400
<v Speaker 3>and uh and Friedman and h Hernandez. We we got

604
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 3>some teams. And I looked for this to be, uh,

605
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, a very interesting world series. I think that

606
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.240
<v Speaker 3>we have a lot of we have a lot of players,

607
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 3>We've got some good arms in the bull fit, as

608
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 3>you saw with a couple of games that they use

609
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.799
<v Speaker 3>a bullpen on every inning, so we got some chances.

610
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.279
<v Speaker 3>I look forced to meet him again, I really do.

611
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I think we got the horses to pull the wagon.

612
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Steve, I got a million questions I want to

613
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.440
<v Speaker 4>ask you, but I guess I want to ask you specifically.

614
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 4>One of them about Smith behind the plate. I'm sure

615
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 4>you've worked some with him, and this guy is a

616
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 4>pretty good catcher in my estimation, he's one of the

617
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 4>better guys in there. When he's hitting, of course, he

618
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 4>kind of separates himself from the field. How do you

619
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.119
<v Speaker 4>assess Will Smith behind the plate? And how's his progression

620
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:36.000
<v Speaker 4>coming in the big leagues?

621
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Think?

622
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 3>I think Silly does a terrific job. He's got a

623
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:43.799
<v Speaker 3>great arm, He's able to handle the pitching staff. He

624
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 3>may not block as many balls as they did in

625
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 3>the past, but he does a good job of picking

626
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it back there. Not too many balls get behind. But

627
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 3>I think in all I think this young man has

628
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:55.359
<v Speaker 3>done a torrific job, and I think the Dodgers still

629
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.880
<v Speaker 3>he's done, is going to be around for a long time.

630
00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.799
<v Speaker 3>I look forward to be around every day. I mean,

631
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 3>he he's that type of guy. He just gets better.

632
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:06.440
<v Speaker 3>I think he's more consistent and he's there and you

633
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.599
<v Speaker 3>know he's gonna he's gonna swing the back pretty good

634
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 3>and he takes sri of the pitching step. That's how

635
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 3>you can answer this young man to do, and he

636
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:13.319
<v Speaker 3>does a terrific job.

637
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 1>I just keep thinking about all the pictures he's got

638
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a you know, game plan for and get ready for

639
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>every night. I mean bullpening games aside three four five

640
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.319
<v Speaker 1>guys coming out of that bullpen after a starter almost

641
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.839
<v Speaker 1>every single game. Now, that's a lot of game play.

642
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:27.440
<v Speaker 1>As a catcher, you got to go into a game

643
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.599
<v Speaker 1>with a certain plan with your starter, certainly, but then

644
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta start worrying about all these other pictures. And

645
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know it's to me, I think he's doing a

646
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.319
<v Speaker 1>heck of a job having to balance all that.

647
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, he is, you know, That's that's That's the thing

648
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Speaker 3>about all of the pipeline of information that teach young

649
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.119
<v Speaker 3>men have today, you can you can break it down

650
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.920
<v Speaker 3>and get a good idea of the strength and weakness

651
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 3>of your pictures is mainly what you want to want

652
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 3>to want. I want to figure out for me, and

653
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:53.559
<v Speaker 3>then's strength weakness that they hit her, and how I

654
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 3>can take take strength against weakness. And sometimes I might

655
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.799
<v Speaker 3>have to go strengths against strength in a certain situations.

656
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.119
<v Speaker 3>But it's figger a couple of things down and trying

657
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:03.960
<v Speaker 3>to keep it simple and remember what you're going to do.

658
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.640
<v Speaker 3>And I think in a lot of cases the hitter

659
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 3>will tell you what he can hit and what he

660
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 3>will hit.

661
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Steve, with the with the way baseball is going today,

662
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 4>being down there in the dugout, when I was coached

663
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 4>that year with the DBACS, it looked like a damn

664
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:23.240
<v Speaker 4>meeting at Google in the dugout with there was binders

665
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 4>and iPads and sheets and spreadsheets, and how do you

666
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 4>assimilate this much information? I guess my question to you,

667
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Steve is how much is too much?

668
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Well?

669
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I think you can only absorb so much and when

670
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.640
<v Speaker 3>you figure out enough you've got enough, you know that

671
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 3>that's it. And that's so I think that, And I'm

672
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.240
<v Speaker 3>sure they guys do it. They they they take what

673
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.119
<v Speaker 3>they need, not necessarily everything, and that that to me

674
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:50.119
<v Speaker 3>is what I would do. It Take what I can do,

675
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 3>what applies to me, What can help me do my

676
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 3>job better, what can help me be a better hitter,

677
00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:58.200
<v Speaker 3>what can help me be a better defensive player, the

678
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.960
<v Speaker 3>tendencies of the picture that send to see of the hitter.

679
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Take those things and kind of keep it and modify

680
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.160
<v Speaker 3>it some so it helps me so I'm not overload

681
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:12.200
<v Speaker 3>my brain. Yeah, it wasn't much overload anyway, but it

682
00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:12.599
<v Speaker 3>was there.

683
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Now, Steve, you were a part of one of the

684
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 1>greatest baseball movies of all time in Major League Major

685
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>League two. You were there when when Barringer put the

686
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 1>butt down at the end of the game and helped

687
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 1>win the game for the Indians at that time in

688
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Major League. I know it's a movie, but my point is,

689
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the bunts, we don't see the butt anymore, the small

690
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 1>ball like in the great movie Major League. You guys

691
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.279
<v Speaker 1>were doing it back in Major League. You guys did

692
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously when you played as well. But to see the

693
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers as a team that slugs and the Yankees are

694
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a team that slugs, and now we the last three

695
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>days we keep hearing about how many home runs might

696
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.839
<v Speaker 1>be hit in this World Series between the Dodgers and Yankees.

697
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be interesting to see one of these teams,

698
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.839
<v Speaker 1>if it's the Dodgers, play a little smart ball, you know,

699
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.759
<v Speaker 1>instead of small ball, a little smart ball and bring

700
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the hit and run and the stealing and the base

701
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>running and the button back.

702
00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know that that might be a lot of start.

703
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 3>But you never know what's going to happen. You don't

704
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.559
<v Speaker 3>know what manager's got up those sleeves. And certainly we

705
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 3>being a Dodgers because I'm kind of partial, as you

706
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 3>well know, uh with with with the Dodgers, but you

707
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 3>never know what's up the daby sleeve. He might have

708
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 3>you butt a little bit, hit and run here there

709
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.000
<v Speaker 3>in some situations. So you know, just keep your hat on,

710
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:21.519
<v Speaker 3>sit out, and have a good time to watch it.

711
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Hey, hey, Steve, my last one for you. I

712
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 4>wanted to kind of put out, you know, my most

713
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 4>egregious new rule in baseball, and then I wanted to

714
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.960
<v Speaker 4>ask you about this fact that you can only throw

715
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 4>over twice to first base. I think this is absurd.

716
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 4>It just doesn't give the catcher a chance to throw

717
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.319
<v Speaker 4>the guy out. But I think the first crazy role

718
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 4>is putting the guy on second base in the extra

719
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 4>innings so he can run.

720
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that.

721
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but but what's this rule about two times over

722
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:54.720
<v Speaker 4>the first and then then then you can't throw over there?

723
00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.079
<v Speaker 4>This just no chance for the picture of the catcher.

724
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, now as you can't throw over the third time,

725
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 3>I think if you troll over, you got to pick

726
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.039
<v Speaker 3>him off.

727
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>You do, it's crazy, you know, in otherwise.

728
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>It's a market he goes to second base anyway, So yeah,

729
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think they're trying to sleet up the game,

730
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:14.359
<v Speaker 3>which is fine in that, but one and second base

731
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.920
<v Speaker 3>entire game. I still can't give used to that because

732
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.599
<v Speaker 3>to me, that's a disadvantage and then Danny's to one

733
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.680
<v Speaker 3>club and disadvantage from another club. If your ninth man

734
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.119
<v Speaker 3>made the last out and leads off to's ther second basement,

735
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 3>you got your your first three hitters on lineup, and

736
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 3>you should haven't been able to get a run at

737
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.960
<v Speaker 3>that point in time. Whether you know, you just start,

738
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.079
<v Speaker 3>we keep on playing. I don't like that. When you

739
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:42.759
<v Speaker 3>know what, they talk bigger than I am, and they

740
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:46.039
<v Speaker 3>fill us best for the game, and everybody agrees and

741
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:48.079
<v Speaker 3>That's all you can do is just go to the

742
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:51.519
<v Speaker 3>ball game and cure for your favorite team and hopefully

743
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.480
<v Speaker 3>come up victorious.

744
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Stee, We appreciate the time. Great catching up with you.

745
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:58.279
<v Speaker 1>It's a rematch of the nineteen eighty one World Series

746
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:00.920
<v Speaker 1>here in twenty twenty four with two great franchises going

747
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 1>at it, Dodgers and Yankees. Love catching up with you.

748
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for coming on this morning.

749
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Thank you guys. You guys, be good and happy holidays.

750
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Steve Yeger boomer joining us here on Saxon Kate's and an.

751
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Amazing catcher, Oh man, I'm telling you, and crazy good.

752
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:22.920
<v Speaker 1>The the defense that he played at that time. As

753
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:26.599
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned, I wish he gets recognize more than you know.

754

755
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.039
<v Speaker 1>get put up there. But you know, Steve Yeger was

756
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a hell of a catcher.

757
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 4>You could not get a ball by him. He was

758
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.799
<v Speaker 4>built like a you know what, brick house, so you

759
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:41.920
<v Speaker 4>couldn't run him over. Uh And man could he throw.

760
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, I'm telling you, I've never seen a catcher

761
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.039
<v Speaker 4>throw like that. He was. He was at least as

762
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:49.599
<v Speaker 4>good as Johnny Bench. I've seen him both, and he's

763

801
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.199
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a huge global event. The best players in

802
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.000
<v Speaker 4>the world. It's East, it's West, it's American National This

803
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.880
<v Speaker 4>is this is it. It doesn't get bigger better than this.

804
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Somebody tweeted at me and said, stop him. Dave Roberts

805
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 1>already said Shoi Otani's not pitching this postseason. He may

806
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.559
<v Speaker 1>have said that already, But now that the World Series

807
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.039
<v Speaker 1>is here, and now that we're here at the end

808
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.039
<v Speaker 1>of October, and with the magnitude of this series, I'm

809
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to think they'd ask him again. Somebody's gonna

810
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.280
<v Speaker 1>ask show Hey and Dave Roberts again if there's an

811
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.360
<v Speaker 1>opportunity in this World Series for show Hey to pitch

812
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 1>that he might pitch. I mean, he may have said

813
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.039
<v Speaker 1>it before in the previous series, but I want to

814
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.440
<v Speaker 1>know now that we're here, if there's a chance, Dave, you.

815
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.239
<v Speaker 4>Say no, but your eyes say maybe yes. I mean,

816
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.320
<v Speaker 4>really right, it is not a is it? I would say?

817
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 4>Is that a hard no? Or is that just no?

818
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean, there's a difference.

819
00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I want to follow up questions if he just says, well,

820
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll see or that I don't think.

821
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 4>So, you know what if this this scenario we talked about,

822
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 4>what about that, Dave, would you yeah, if it was

823
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:53.480
<v Speaker 4>on the line, right, and you could smell the World

824
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.559
<v Speaker 4>Series victory and you need one out and AJ was

825
00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:59.280
<v Speaker 4>coming up, what would you.

826
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I ultimately think it comes down to whether show he

827
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>wants to pitch or not, because they're gonna go to

828
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.199
<v Speaker 1>him and say, how do you feel? This is what

829
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.840
<v Speaker 1>we feel. We don't want you to But he says,

830
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in. I want to pitch one inny one at bat,

831
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>give it to me for one whatever.

832
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:15.800
<v Speaker 4>I say, one at bad. But is he he's throwing

833
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:17.400
<v Speaker 4>in the pen, right yeah? Yeah?

834
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 1>And when we say pitching the world So I'm not

835
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about getting starting Game four, Yeah, I'm talking about

836
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.119
<v Speaker 1>coming out in the seventh, eighth, ninth inning, one at bat,

837
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 1>one inning, close the game, whatever the situation.

838
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:29.679
<v Speaker 4>Is, it's got to be the end of the game. Right,

839
00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:32.840
<v Speaker 4>he shuts somebody down, it's over. He's on the mound

840
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.880
<v Speaker 4>with the glove high and that's it. Fire works everywhere,

841
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:40.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, come on, it just wouldn't be real.

842
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It would be unbelievable. And I think the question needs

843
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to be re asked today to Dave Roberts and to

844
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Showyo Todi also today with the media day, You're not

845
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna just get the baseball questions. Now, you're gonna get

846
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.079
<v Speaker 1>these questions about well, well, you know, if you know,

847
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.159
<v Speaker 1>if you're back in California, is it in and out

848
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Burger better than a habit Burger? Auger five guys? Or

849
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:02.920
<v Speaker 1>what are we a fat burger? What do you like

850
00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:04.679
<v Speaker 1>out there? I would ask a question like this.

851
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.119
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so the Dodgers win, Okay, they're a five or

852
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.360
<v Speaker 4>six billion dollar, you know, enterprise right now? What do

853
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:13.199
<v Speaker 4>they become if they win the World Series? That's a

854
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 4>good question?

855
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:16.599
<v Speaker 1>Uh add a couple of billion onto that?

856
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 4>Can you imagine that?

857
00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Right? I mean, yeah, I saw something today.

858
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.480
<v Speaker 4>And do's pulling for this big time?

859
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Or what he's got he's got an investment in this

860
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in this I saw somebody today put out that the

861
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the value of show how Tania? What he has meant

862
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to this Dodgers team in one year? How do you?

863
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 4>How do you measure that?

864
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they do it, but I want

865
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to say it was like seventy five million dollars more

866
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.559
<v Speaker 1>than any of their previous years. What he's meant to

867
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:48.440
<v Speaker 1>this team financially again, marketing, I mean, merchandise, whatever, I

868
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:50.039
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't know how you put umber.

869
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 4>Merch all over the world. I mean, I'm sure they

870
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 4>all get a cut of that, right, So that's got

871
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:56.039
<v Speaker 4>to be just it's got to be the biggest selling

872
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.639
<v Speaker 4>jersey on the planet right now, you know.

873
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So there you go, and it's crazy going to Dodger

874
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:04.840
<v Speaker 1>games because everybody's there for the first time coming over

875
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 1>from Japan. You heard about Anaheim when Anaheim, when he

876
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:09.559
<v Speaker 1>was pitching, and he pitched on the weekends only a

877
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:12.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of times, you know, every once a week on Saturdays.

878
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:16.239
<v Speaker 1>They would have special weekend trips from Tokyo to fly

879
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:20.079
<v Speaker 1>over like the day before, see an Angel game, watch

880
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.679
<v Speaker 1>him pitch, and then you fly out that Monday. So

881
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.679
<v Speaker 1>it was a whole flight just to come out of

882
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:28.360
<v Speaker 1>centered around the Angels and Otani when they were home

883
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>for a weekend series. And most likely he was pitching

884
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>all those games because he pitched once a week. Yeah,

885
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's just down to Anaheim, and I'm sure that's

886
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 1>happening now about that.

887
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 4>There entre coming into Dodger Stadium for the first time.

888
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:42.639
<v Speaker 4>What a jewel, What a freaking great stadium. A few
