Lyle and TJ aren't huge fans of the Vedder Cup trophy being handed out after Monday's game. They discuss that and Monday's win (2:30). They then lay out their case why Cal Raleigh should win AL MVP after hitting his 50th HR (15:20), and chat about the discourse following Bryce Miller's second start back (22:30). The two of them welcome Mariners OF prospect Jonny Farmelo to chat about his power increase, working back from injury, and his passion for the stock market (31:39).

01:26 --> 01:26 [SPEAKER_03]: Lyle.
01:26 --> 01:27 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to read a statement.
01:27 --> 01:29 [SPEAKER_03]: I want to get your reaction to it.
01:29 --> 01:32 [SPEAKER_03]: The Mariners are better cup champions.
01:35 --> 01:39 [SPEAKER_02]: Papa, papa, papa, it's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
01:41 --> 01:42 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's my reaction.
01:43 --> 01:44 [SPEAKER_02]: Total Mickey Mouse behavior.
01:46 --> 01:48 [SPEAKER_03]: I actually I don't have a problem with them call it.
01:48 --> 01:51 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't have the problem with the rivalry being called the better cup.
01:51 --> 01:52 [SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
01:52 --> 01:54 [SPEAKER_03]: You can market everything about it.
01:54 --> 01:56 [SPEAKER_03]: You can do giveaways to the fans, etc.
01:58 --> 01:58 [SPEAKER_03]: On to be honest.
02:00 --> 02:08 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, the trophy which was unveiled today at T-Mobile Park on the warning track before the game started that loud and I got to get up close and look.
02:08 --> 02:14 [SPEAKER_03]: We put it on our Instagram story in case anyone was curious about looking and seeing what it looked like.
02:14 --> 02:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Objectively, the trophy itself by itself without any meeting loyal was cool.
02:19 --> 02:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
02:19 --> 02:20 [SPEAKER_03]: Any better guitar.
02:20 --> 02:20 [SPEAKER_03]: Great.
02:21 --> 02:22 [SPEAKER_03]: That part is fine.
02:23 --> 02:24 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll step in.
02:24 --> 02:24 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
02:24 --> 02:26 [SPEAKER_02]: That part is the name of the rivalry.
02:27 --> 02:27 [SPEAKER_02]: Fine.
02:27 --> 02:33 [SPEAKER_02]: It's a cool friendly thing having a trophy that just that aside the guitar.
02:33 --> 02:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
02:33 --> 02:34 [SPEAKER_02]: Very cool.
02:35 --> 02:39 [SPEAKER_02]: But perating about it when you win the Vetter Cup.
02:40 --> 02:41 [SPEAKER_02]: That's Mickey Mouse behavior.
02:41 --> 02:41 [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
02:41 --> 02:43 [SPEAKER_02]: I actually forgot the first part of the song.
02:43 --> 02:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Am I C. K. E. Y. M. O. USC.
02:47 --> 02:49 [SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
02:49 --> 02:50 [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's all rounded up.
02:51 --> 02:54 [SPEAKER_03]: So the Mariners now are going to get a trophy for beating the Padres in a series.
02:54 --> 02:56 [SPEAKER_03]: Until they play again next year.
02:56 --> 03:01 [SPEAKER_03]: We put a right next to all the other ones.
03:04 --> 03:10 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry, like the fact like this is the first team trophy the Mariners win.
03:11 --> 03:13 [SPEAKER_03]: It's like one them and the Padres came up with it.
03:14 --> 03:20 [SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason that the Mariners and Padres symbolize themselves in each other's leagues.
03:20 --> 03:21 [SPEAKER_03]: They're like mirrors.
03:22 --> 03:22 [SPEAKER_03]: of each other.
03:22 --> 03:24 [SPEAKER_03]: The podres have made the world serious.
03:24 --> 03:26 [SPEAKER_03]: The murders have not that's legitimately the only difference.
03:26 --> 03:28 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like of all the nationally teams.
03:29 --> 03:31 [SPEAKER_03]: The podres are the most like the mirrors.
03:32 --> 03:34 [SPEAKER_03]: And the Mariners are most like the podres out of any team.
03:35 --> 03:37 [SPEAKER_03]: Elson and that are in the American league.
03:37 --> 03:38 [SPEAKER_03]: As are the podres.
03:39 --> 03:39 [SPEAKER_03]: Great.
03:40 --> 03:47 [SPEAKER_03]: So the fact that these two teams come up with a trophy to switch between each other throughout the season.
03:48 --> 03:50 [SPEAKER_03]: Like do the red socks and Yankees give out trophies?
03:52 --> 03:52 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
03:53 --> 03:58 [SPEAKER_02]: Also, I would say that, let's say that one team's payrolls a little different than the other.
03:58 --> 04:01 [SPEAKER_02]: I would say that's a little bit of a difference between the story.
04:01 --> 04:02 [SPEAKER_02]: But now, yes.
04:03 --> 04:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, historically, sure.
04:05 --> 04:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
04:06 --> 04:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Historically, there is a lot of similarities between these two teams.
04:09 --> 04:09 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot.
04:11 --> 04:13 [SPEAKER_02]: I just, again, like guys, it's fine.
04:14 --> 04:15 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you're winning games.
04:15 --> 04:18 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you're beating the Padre's because that's a series you really need to win.
04:20 --> 04:26 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think people need to see the perating about it on social media and talking about it nonstop.
04:26 --> 04:27 [SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm sorry, who cares?
04:28 --> 04:32 [SPEAKER_02]: And yes, I understand this is coming from somebody who legitimately does not know who Eddie Vetter is.
04:33 --> 04:35 [SPEAKER_02]: People laugh and probably say I'm outing myself, no, I'm not.
04:36 --> 04:39 [SPEAKER_02]: If you listen to Brock and talk every, you know that's not a surprise that I don't know who he is.
04:40 --> 04:43 [SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't name you a Pearl Jam song, et cetera, et cetera.
04:43 --> 04:47 [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe this is coming from me and somebody who's not appreciating Eddie Vetter and Pearl Jam.
04:50 --> 04:53 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to celebrate regular season trophies.
04:54 --> 04:59 [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I like the NBA in-game tournament or the NBA in-game playout, what do you call it?
04:59 --> 05:00 [SPEAKER_02]: In-season playoffs, right?
05:00 --> 05:01 [SPEAKER_02]: In-season tournament.
05:01 --> 05:03 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the in-season tournament, where do you get a trophy at the end of it?
05:04 --> 05:05 [SPEAKER_02]: It's the same thing.
05:05 --> 05:07 [SPEAKER_02]: That's total Mickey Mouse behavior.
05:07 --> 05:09 [SPEAKER_03]: But you know what the NBA players also get?
05:10 --> 05:11 [SPEAKER_03]: A million dollars each.
05:12 --> 05:13 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that part, yes.
05:15 --> 05:18 [SPEAKER_03]: or pocketing a million dollars from winning the better cup.
05:18 --> 05:28 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, I will say if you were an MBA player and you were flaunting your million dollars for winning the in-season tournament, I would actually respect that.
05:28 --> 05:31 [SPEAKER_02]: You would say, look, we want a regular season game, but guess what?
05:31 --> 05:33 [SPEAKER_02]: I get a million dollars to my name.
05:33 --> 05:34 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to celebrate that.
05:34 --> 05:34 [SPEAKER_02]: That'd be fine.
05:35 --> 05:41 [SPEAKER_02]: If there were, if there were Mariners guys getting a million dollars from this and flaunting it on social media and celebrating that, I'd actually respect it.
05:42 --> 05:42 [SPEAKER_02]: However,
05:44 --> 05:47 [SPEAKER_02]: What, like, you can't celebrate winning an in season trophy.
05:47 --> 05:50 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, especially for a team that isn't in your league.
05:51 --> 05:56 [SPEAKER_02]: I understand you play every year, but it's like the Mariners and Padres rivalry is a very friendly one.
05:56 --> 05:58 [SPEAKER_02]: There's no animosity.
05:58 --> 05:59 [SPEAKER_02]: There's no true hatred.
06:00 --> 06:13 [SPEAKER_03]: Come on and come on like this also just kind of opens This opens up the can of worms for all the other fan bases and baseball to dunk on the Mariners and progress whenever one or the other wins this trophy.
06:13 --> 06:21 [SPEAKER_03]: It's like could you imagine Astros fan look and say oh look the Mariners want a trophy Congratulations you finally go
06:22 --> 06:43 [SPEAKER_02]: One, somebody in the next forty eight hours will absolutely be posting that meme of the Mariners Banners and they're gonna add the final one that just says regular season veteran cup champions because that meme of all the Mariners Banners surfaces on Twitter all the time of here's all the times we made the playoffs and then here's one stupid thing at the very end.
06:43 --> 06:44 [SPEAKER_02]: That's surface for years.
06:45 --> 06:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Somebody's gonna do that with the veteran cup over the next few days.
06:48 --> 07:11 [SPEAKER_03]: I thought our podrace friend put it perfectly when we we set him a picture of the of the trophy that the two teams will be exchanging for now years on end which by the way got a full tweet and picture and graphic for majorly baseball about winning the meta-veter cup the first ever hashtag better cup belongs to the mariners will they very nice graphic wow
07:12 --> 07:15 [SPEAKER_03]: But our Padre's friend said it, I think, perfectly.
07:15 --> 07:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Two teams would rather, rather want to guitar than a ring.
07:22 --> 07:36 [SPEAKER_03]: It's just kind of hard to beat the allegations, guys, that they're giving away a trophy for a regular season, six games sample between two teams, not even in their own league.
07:36 --> 07:39 [SPEAKER_03]: And they're not even the closest teams to each other, either.
07:39 --> 07:40 [SPEAKER_03]: It just happens.
07:40 --> 08:02 [SPEAKER_03]: don't have other rivals so they have to be each other's rivals anyways and look if there's anyone on the mariners listening to this and saying okay listing out a couple things like okay it's a great marketing opportunity it gives us a more opportunity to develop like a somewhat rivalry with someone else great like you can do that without the trophy
08:03 --> 08:26 [SPEAKER_03]: you can do everything without having the trophy there and you can you can call it the better cup you can save the the better cup rivalry whatever that's fine don't need the trophy only there should only be one trophy teams in major league baseball should be a hoisting only one well we shouldn't be inventing other ones well that's not true you hoist the trophy when you win the pen and so two trophies
08:27 --> 08:30 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want one of, well actually, that's a lie.
08:30 --> 08:31 [SPEAKER_03]: That's a lie.
08:31 --> 08:31 [SPEAKER_03]: That's a lie.
08:32 --> 08:32 [SPEAKER_03]: I do want one of those.
08:32 --> 08:38 [SPEAKER_03]: But everyone knows the only real trophy that matters is the World Series trophy.
08:38 --> 08:40 [SPEAKER_03]: You can have all the penant trophies in the world.
08:40 --> 08:41 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think the Padres?
08:42 --> 08:44 [SPEAKER_03]: would rather have their penitrophy or world series.
08:44 --> 08:46 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I got to catch you off right here.
08:46 --> 08:57 [SPEAKER_02]: If you were to actually come on this podcast in late October and try to dunk on the Mariners for hoisting a penitrophy, not only are you going to problem with me, you're going to problem with the fan base.
08:57 --> 08:58 [SPEAKER_02]: They can absolutely do that.
08:59 --> 09:04 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying there's one ultimate trophy that every team wants and the Mariners are one of the teams without it.
09:05 --> 09:12 [SPEAKER_03]: The characters are the only teams without that penitrophy, but the one with all the penits on it is the one they want.
09:12 --> 09:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yes, that's facts.
09:14 --> 09:15 [SPEAKER_02]: And that should be the goal.
09:15 --> 09:18 [SPEAKER_02]: But they can host the penitrophy if they win the penit.
09:18 --> 09:19 [SPEAKER_02]: It's fine.
09:19 --> 09:23 [SPEAKER_03]: However, however, you will also openly sit on this podcast.
09:23 --> 09:27 [SPEAKER_03]: Trophy's aside, they're getting swept in the world series is a massive win.
09:29 --> 09:29 [SPEAKER_03]: So.
09:30 --> 09:32 [SPEAKER_02]: It seems like it's time for the line again.
09:32 --> 09:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Now that you brought that out.
09:33 --> 09:36 [SPEAKER_02]: I know that sounds like loser talk guys, but let's be clear.
09:37 --> 09:38 [SPEAKER_02]: We are losers.
09:39 --> 09:42 [SPEAKER_02]: So we have no issue saying that in any way whatsoever.
09:42 --> 09:44 [SPEAKER_02]: However, what we do have an issue with is
09:46 --> 09:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Celebrating regular season trophies.
09:48 --> 09:49 [SPEAKER_02]: Let the fans celebrate it.
09:49 --> 09:55 [SPEAKER_02]: If there's fans that want to call it the better cup championship and there's fans out there, they want to say, oh, the Mariners won the better cup.
09:55 --> 09:56 [SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
09:56 --> 09:57 [SPEAKER_02]: That's fans talking about it.
09:58 --> 10:01 [SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch Major League Baseball tweet out.
10:02 --> 10:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's celebrate the better cup champions.
10:05 --> 10:11 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, imagine going, imagine going up to Mani Machado and saying, are you disappointed you lost the better cup?
10:11 --> 10:14 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, Mani's thinking about beating the Dodgers.
10:14 --> 10:16 [SPEAKER_03]: That's what Mani's thinking about right now.
10:16 --> 10:17 [SPEAKER_03]: He's not thinking about the better cup.
10:18 --> 10:24 [SPEAKER_02]: No, Mani, again, Mani is a pretty competitive guy, but I don't think he's hoisting a better kept trophy.
10:25 --> 10:25 [SPEAKER_03]: And just don't.
10:25 --> 10:31 [SPEAKER_03]: Could you imagine if it was the Padres who'd won the first four games of this, and they hand them the trophy and he looks at it.
10:31 --> 10:32 [SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't know what it is.
10:33 --> 10:37 [SPEAKER_02]: No, he wouldn't know what it is, and Dodgers Twitter would be dunking all over the Padres if they were hoisting that thing.
10:38 --> 10:41 [SPEAKER_03]: So, so maybe a smart play on their part.
10:41 --> 10:43 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a conspiracy theory.
10:43 --> 10:45 [SPEAKER_02]: Did the Padres lose the better cup on purpose?
10:46 --> 10:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Next on undisputed.
10:48 --> 11:01 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, the Dodger fans are going to be getting at the Padres, and again, I've been delved into Astro's Twitter tonight, but I'd say there's a good chance there's some stuff out there.
11:02 --> 11:02 [SPEAKER_02]: Probably.
11:03 --> 11:05 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Astro's rant is cooking again, who knows?
11:05 --> 11:08 [SPEAKER_02]: I've already reactivated as a count, just for this.
11:08 --> 11:14 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, that dude's been off the grid for a long time, but I will, again, I will just say,
11:16 --> 11:23 [SPEAKER_02]: What people should be celebrating is beating the potteries because these are extremely important games that you need to win and that is which should not be lost here.
11:23 --> 11:27 [SPEAKER_02]: The Mariners were down four one today, Bryce Miller struggled in the second inning.
11:27 --> 11:35 [SPEAKER_02]: They got down, it looked a little bit bleak and then they just absolutely take it to them and win the game by four runs.
11:35 --> 11:37 [SPEAKER_02]: They win it or sorry, by three runs.
11:37 --> 11:38 [SPEAKER_02]: They win it nine to six.
11:39 --> 11:40 [SPEAKER_02]: nine runs against the pod rays.
11:41 --> 12:03 [SPEAKER_03]: They did not let up that is what should be talked about that is what should be celebrated not the better cup and you know objectively the results across the league sands the red socks winning today I don't think to the Yankees play today no the Yankees did not play today sands the red socks beating the audio orials most of the results were exactly what you wanted the guardians lost
12:03 --> 12:05 [SPEAKER_03]: Um, oh, the Yankees did play today.
12:05 --> 12:05 [SPEAKER_03]: They won.
12:05 --> 12:05 [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
12:05 --> 12:08 [SPEAKER_03]: So the Red Sox and Orioles are sorry.
12:08 --> 12:10 [SPEAKER_03]: The Red Sox and Yankees won.
12:10 --> 12:12 [SPEAKER_03]: So you're not gaining any ground on the wildcarp.
12:12 --> 12:13 [SPEAKER_03]: The Astros are off today.
12:13 --> 12:14 [SPEAKER_03]: So you gain a half game on them.
12:14 --> 12:16 [SPEAKER_03]: And then you separate yourself from the Rangers.
12:16 --> 12:18 [SPEAKER_03]: You separate yourself from the Guardians.
12:18 --> 12:21 [SPEAKER_03]: You separate yourself from the Royals who got shut out by the White Sox.
12:22 --> 12:44 [SPEAKER_03]: That's a like that's a thumbs up day for me like that is what you needed to do and look I was kind of I was kind of peaved early when they're down for one That they're gonna waste an opportunity here because these games are starting to mean a lot and a lot and a lot more and Making up even that half game on the Astros does mean a lot and it does mean a lot to separate yourself a little bit in the wild card like
12:45 --> 12:48 [SPEAKER_03]: We want home field, but just get into the field.
12:49 --> 12:49 [SPEAKER_03]: Just get in.
12:50 --> 12:57 [SPEAKER_03]: That's like, and the best way to do that is to have the guardians have the royals, uh, etc.
12:57 --> 12:58 [SPEAKER_03]: Keep losing and the Rangers.
12:59 --> 13:00 [SPEAKER_03]: Rangers are right there as well.
13:01 --> 13:02 [SPEAKER_03]: That benefits you a lot.
13:02 --> 13:04 [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why it was so big today.
13:04 --> 13:06 [SPEAKER_03]: And you got it from all the guys you needed to.
13:08 --> 13:14 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if the Mariners could keep separating ground from the guys that are on the outside looking in and the teams that are still trying to fight for a spot, that'd be great.
13:15 --> 13:21 [SPEAKER_02]: If they could go into that royal series in the middle of September and not have to sweat it out, that would really be awesome.
13:21 --> 13:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Because now all of the sudden as we sit here on Monday night, the Mariners have a four game lead of that final spot over the royals, which is not totally secure because again, those two teams are going to play for three games in about a month.
13:35 --> 13:42 [SPEAKER_02]: you could continue to separate, and you could continue to build ground, and if you keep building ground, you don't have to worry as much about that series.
13:42 --> 13:45 [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I hope the Mariners keep building ground on these teams.
13:45 --> 13:59 [SPEAKER_02]: It would be massive if they did, because it would give, and not only would it make that royal series less important, but it would just let fans breathe and relax a little bit and not have to absolutely sweat it out until the final few days of the year, that'd be awesome.
14:01 --> 14:03 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you gain two more games before then?
14:04 --> 14:05 [SPEAKER_03]: Two more games.
14:05 --> 14:06 [SPEAKER_03]: What's that?
14:06 --> 14:07 [SPEAKER_03]: One's that series.
14:07 --> 14:08 [SPEAKER_03]: Two weeks about from now, give or take?
14:08 --> 14:10 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's three.
14:11 --> 14:12 [SPEAKER_03]: Three weeks.
14:12 --> 14:13 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, three weeks, Dan.
14:14 --> 14:14 [SPEAKER_03]: No.
14:14 --> 14:15 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're right.
14:15 --> 14:16 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it is three weeks.
14:17 --> 14:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Can you gain two games in three weeks?
14:21 --> 14:23 [SPEAKER_03]: I would gain two games in three weeks.
14:24 --> 14:26 [SPEAKER_03]: That would be pretty big for that last road trip.
14:26 --> 14:30 [SPEAKER_03]: Like the last real worry, because we're sitting here and we're expecting
14:31 --> 14:33 [SPEAKER_03]: That Dodger series not to matter.
14:33 --> 14:35 [SPEAKER_03]: We're hoping that Dodger series does not matter at all.
14:35 --> 14:38 [SPEAKER_03]: That you can take care of business against the Rockies in that final week.
14:39 --> 14:43 [SPEAKER_03]: Give yourself two more games of cushion and then that royal series.
14:43 --> 14:45 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you can just kind of play free.
14:45 --> 14:47 [SPEAKER_03]: Like you obviously don't want to get swept.
14:48 --> 14:57 [SPEAKER_03]: But sitting in that royal series with a three game lead would make me sweat three games because that's three games against the royals and that's three games against the Astros all on the road.
14:58 --> 15:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Even with a five game lead, I'd be sweating because if they get swept in that series, then all of a sudden with about ten days to play, they've only got a two game lead.
15:05 --> 15:06 [SPEAKER_02]: And no tie breaker.
15:07 --> 15:08 [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
15:09 --> 15:11 [SPEAKER_02]: It would be really nice if they could build some ground.
15:11 --> 15:21 [SPEAKER_02]: You would hope they can get one in Kansas City, but why even have to sweat it out, just keep building ground, especially given the schedule you have coming up.
15:21 --> 15:23 [SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's going to be a big help to that while.
15:25 --> 15:30 [SPEAKER_03]: Cal, Cal being getting, having sixty home runs by then because he's only ten away now.
15:30 --> 15:40 [SPEAKER_03]: Here on Monday, he hits home run number fifty and what we didn't get to mention on Monday's podcast episode that came out as we were recording here today on Monday.
15:41 --> 15:43 [SPEAKER_03]: But Cal has finally caught Aaron Judgen war.
15:45 --> 15:49 [SPEAKER_03]: We've been keeping an eye on this for like, oh, Cal's within one and a half.
15:49 --> 15:53 [SPEAKER_03]: Cal's within one, Cal's within a half.
15:54 --> 15:57 [SPEAKER_03]: And now here on Monday, he's does two things.
15:58 --> 16:01 [SPEAKER_03]: He gets a fifty a thome run and he catches Aaron Judgen War.
16:02 --> 16:05 [SPEAKER_03]: And now they're, you know, they're neck and neck, the stats comparison.
16:06 --> 16:12 [SPEAKER_03]: Starting a favor cow a little bit, not totally favor, but favor him enough to get some votes.
16:15 --> 16:16 [SPEAKER_02]: I think you should be the MVP.
16:18 --> 16:21 [SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about it plenty, but as we've said here at the end of August,
16:22 --> 16:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Look at what he's done.
16:23 --> 16:24 [SPEAKER_02]: He's gotten to fifty homers.
16:24 --> 16:26 [SPEAKER_02]: He's at thirty from the left side.
16:26 --> 16:26 [SPEAKER_02]: He's a catcher.
16:27 --> 16:28 [SPEAKER_02]: He's doing it every day.
16:28 --> 16:33 [SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, it's judged for the final two months of the year as essentially a DH.
16:33 --> 16:35 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's not a show hey DH where you know he can also pitch.
16:36 --> 16:37 [SPEAKER_02]: He's just a DH.
16:38 --> 16:38 [SPEAKER_02]: He's not throwing.
16:38 --> 16:39 [SPEAKER_02]: He's not playing the field.
16:41 --> 16:42 [SPEAKER_02]: Why is that so special?
16:44 --> 17:00 [SPEAKER_03]: it if he's if he repeats his April then that that would be special because judges April he was worth nearly three wins but right now since he's uh over the last I think month or so he's got like a seven hundred OPS that has not been as good
17:00 --> 17:09 [SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason why cows been able to slip back into this race a little bit, despite his cold streak, and that's because Aaron judges combined men hurt and men cold at the same time.
17:09 --> 17:12 [SPEAKER_03]: They can move heat up, or they could both slump.
17:13 --> 17:15 [SPEAKER_03]: So that I think that's something we're going to have to see.
17:15 --> 17:18 [SPEAKER_03]: I sought Churchill, Jason Churchill, friend of the podcast tweeting about this.
17:18 --> 17:23 [SPEAKER_03]: I'd be curious to get your thoughts on this, and whether or not you think this is going to impact the voters.
17:24 --> 17:24 [SPEAKER_03]: I think it will.
17:26 --> 17:30 [SPEAKER_03]: Judges already broken his records like he's broken his records in past seasons.
17:30 --> 17:33 [SPEAKER_03]: He has the quote unquote clean home run record.
17:34 --> 17:35 [SPEAKER_03]: He plays for the Yankees.
17:37 --> 17:40 [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, like those are the clean home run record is his big record.
17:40 --> 17:44 [SPEAKER_03]: But since cows a switchitter and cows a catcher, he's got a few more things to tick off.
17:45 --> 17:47 [SPEAKER_03]: He has broken Salvi's record.
17:48 --> 17:50 [SPEAKER_03]: He is on his way to breaking Mickey Manel's record.
17:51 --> 17:53 [SPEAKER_03]: I think he's going to smash that record at this point.
17:55 --> 17:56 [SPEAKER_03]: So you have that.
17:56 --> 18:03 [SPEAKER_03]: You have the fact that he is the first switch hit or ever to hit twenty home runs and from the right side and thirty home runs from the left side.
18:04 --> 18:04 [SPEAKER_03]: First ever.
18:05 --> 18:06 [SPEAKER_03]: That's incredible.
18:07 --> 18:12 [SPEAKER_03]: And then if he gets to sixty, you know, he's already the first catcher to hit fifty home runs.
18:13 --> 18:16 [SPEAKER_03]: He's aiming to be the first catcher to hit sixty home runs as well.
18:17 --> 18:21 [SPEAKER_03]: And then if he can get to that sixty three mark, look at all these records he's got.
18:22 --> 18:24 [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like that's got to sway some voters at this point.
18:25 --> 18:29 [SPEAKER_03]: Even if you don't think like, okay, it's a record that doesn't mean you should vote him for MVP.
18:30 --> 18:32 [SPEAKER_03]: I still think that is going to have some poll and it's going to help him.
18:34 --> 18:35 [SPEAKER_02]: He hat's gonna help him.
18:35 --> 18:40 [SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, one of the other milestones he'll hit is passing junior.
18:40 --> 18:44 [SPEAKER_02]: He gets the fifty-seven, he'll be the Mariners all-time leader in single season home runs.
18:44 --> 18:47 [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll tell you what, that feels very realistic.
18:47 --> 18:50 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll keep stamping, I think he can get to sixty-three, because I do.
18:50 --> 18:54 [SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna play three games in Tampa, you're gonna get the Rockies for three.
18:54 --> 18:57 [SPEAKER_02]: Cowrow, they could hit five or six home runs in those games combined for all we know.
18:58 --> 18:59 [SPEAKER_02]: But even that aside,
19:01 --> 19:04 [SPEAKER_02]: To hit seven more homers before the end of the year, seems pretty realistic.
19:05 --> 19:13 [SPEAKER_02]: And if he does that, he will be the single season Mariners all time home run leader ahead of, say the name, Ken Griffey Jr.
19:13 --> 19:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Cal Rally will have more homeruns in a single season than George Kenneth Griffey Jr.
19:18 --> 19:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Ever had.
19:19 --> 19:28 [SPEAKER_03]: I was listening to the Mariners radio broadcast today, talk about Cal potentially breaking that record and just consider who's in the booth at this point, right?
19:28 --> 19:35 [SPEAKER_03]: So hyphen was not around for juniors years, but Gary Hill is a life friend of the podcast, lifelong Mariners fan.
19:35 --> 19:36 [SPEAKER_03]: He grew up through the juniors.
19:37 --> 19:43 [SPEAKER_03]: He saw junior at his best, Rick Riz has been with the Mariners since the beginning, essentially.
19:43 --> 19:47 [SPEAKER_03]: They have seen everything with this franchise.
19:48 --> 19:59 [SPEAKER_03]: They really are trying to verbally process the way through someone hitting a catcher, a switch hitting catcher hitting at Team Mobile Park, breaking Ken Griffey Jr's record.
20:00 --> 20:01 [SPEAKER_03]: This is something that shouldn't happen.
20:02 --> 20:13 [SPEAKER_03]: The wear and tear of the position, the switch hitting aspect of it, the fact you're playing in one of the worst hitting environments in all of Major League Baseball, as opposed to the King Gome, which is one of the best hitting environments in all Baseball.
20:14 --> 20:16 [SPEAKER_03]: And yet he's still making it happen anyway.
20:16 --> 20:22 [SPEAKER_03]: And it just, it's hard to sometimes find words for it because Junior had everything laid out for him.
20:22 --> 20:27 [SPEAKER_03]: And if you remember, he hated hitting a team all the park or saved go field back then.
20:27 --> 20:35 [SPEAKER_03]: When it first started, I mean, it's been well written about that he complained him and a rod both complained about how hard it was to hit in that ballpark.
20:36 --> 20:38 [SPEAKER_03]: Cal's not doing any complaining this year.
20:39 --> 20:41 [SPEAKER_03]: And then again, that's not to slight the legends, of course.
20:41 --> 20:44 [SPEAKER_03]: It was a different ballpark back then, and it was a change.
20:44 --> 20:48 [SPEAKER_03]: But it is the same structure that how Cal was hitting in right now.
20:50 --> 20:54 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's add to the Cal seeing significantly better pitching than Junior was seeing.
20:54 --> 20:55 [SPEAKER_02]: And in a worse hitting environment.
20:56 --> 20:56 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
20:57 --> 20:59 [SPEAKER_03]: Yep, that's great.
20:59 --> 21:04 [SPEAKER_02]: This could be one of these records that's like each arose where it may never be broken.
21:04 --> 21:11 [SPEAKER_02]: I won't firmly stamp it, but there is a world there would never be a catcher to hit sixty homers ever again.
21:12 --> 21:16 [SPEAKER_02]: This is a type of record that Cal could have live on for a really long time.
21:18 --> 21:28 [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Cal's Cooper-stown case is probably something that we would revisit half a decade from now when he stacks up against other catchers and he's got a little bit more longevity.
21:28 --> 21:34 [SPEAKER_03]: But his season, Lyle, like this is the type of season that gets a display in Cooper-stown.
21:35 --> 21:36 [SPEAKER_03]: There's no doubt.
21:36 --> 21:36 [SPEAKER_03]: There's no doubt.
21:46 --> 21:47 [SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty crazy.
21:47 --> 21:48 [SPEAKER_03]: And it just keeps happening.
21:48 --> 21:50 [SPEAKER_03]: Here on Monday, hits another home run.
21:50 --> 21:53 [SPEAKER_03]: Dude, he keeps hitting him right hand it, too.
21:53 --> 21:55 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, we keep saying it enough.
21:55 --> 21:59 [SPEAKER_03]: The amount of steps forward he is taken from the right side is crazy.
21:59 --> 22:00 [SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.
22:02 --> 22:03 [SPEAKER_03]: So, shut up to cow.
22:03 --> 22:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to cow.
22:04 --> 22:07 [SPEAKER_02]: And again, I'll keep saying that sixty three is in play.
22:08 --> 22:08 [SPEAKER_02]: It's in play.
22:09 --> 22:12 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying it's a hundred percent going to happen, but it's in play.
22:13 --> 22:14 [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty sick.
22:14 --> 22:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Last thing I want to say before we get to Johnny Farmello, fantastic interview.
22:19 --> 22:22 [SPEAKER_03]: Lown over up and ever last week sat down with them.
22:23 --> 22:23 [SPEAKER_03]: Johnny's amazing.
22:23 --> 22:31 [SPEAKER_03]: I think everyone's going to be so excited to hear this and watch him play and climb up the minor league ranks, cross in our fingers that he stays healthy.
22:31 --> 22:32 [SPEAKER_03]: So that was a lot of fun.
22:34 --> 22:35 [SPEAKER_03]: Bryce Miller was out on the mound to get on Monday.
22:35 --> 22:38 [SPEAKER_03]: He's making his second start back from the injured list.
22:39 --> 22:43 [SPEAKER_03]: And I just got to say he did not pitch that well on Monday.
22:44 --> 22:46 [SPEAKER_03]: He gave up three home runs in the second inning.
22:46 --> 22:47 [SPEAKER_03]: Wasn't overly sharp.
22:48 --> 22:49 [SPEAKER_03]: He battled throughout the end.
22:49 --> 22:53 [SPEAKER_03]: He he cleaned it up and managed to get through five innings.
22:53 --> 22:53 [SPEAKER_03]: It was fine.
22:54 --> 22:54 [SPEAKER_03]: Mariners won the game.
22:55 --> 22:56 [SPEAKER_03]: That's ultimately what matters.
22:56 --> 22:57 [SPEAKER_03]: But Bryce wasn't great.
22:59 --> 23:03 [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't believe that I was seeing tweets again that people were worried about
23:04 --> 23:05 [SPEAKER_03]: Like, oh, it's time to shut them down.
23:06 --> 23:10 [SPEAKER_03]: Elbows cooked, arms cooked, shouldn't have activated him.
23:10 --> 23:11 [SPEAKER_03]: It's over.
23:13 --> 23:16 [SPEAKER_03]: Guys, no, I'm sorry.
23:17 --> 23:20 [SPEAKER_03]: That is not what was happening with Bryce Miller on Monday.
23:20 --> 23:22 [SPEAKER_03]: You know what was happening with Bryce Miller on Monday?
23:23 --> 23:25 [SPEAKER_03]: Bryce Miller was not sharp.
23:25 --> 23:32 [SPEAKER_03]: Bryce Miller's making his second rehab or second, his second big league start back from rehab after missing multiple months.
23:32 --> 23:33 [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, he's not sharp.
23:34 --> 23:43 [SPEAKER_03]: Like remember last year, it took him to be totally sharp three months of the season to be totally sharp three months.
23:45 --> 23:46 [SPEAKER_03]: He's not gonna get three months this year.
23:47 --> 23:51 [SPEAKER_03]: So there's a very good chance this just could be Bryce Miller the rest of the season.
23:51 --> 23:53 [SPEAKER_03]: The stuff's better because he's feeling better.
23:53 --> 23:57 [SPEAKER_03]: He's throwing hard, but he's not gonna be perfect.
23:57 --> 23:59 [SPEAKER_03]: He's not gonna be Bryce from last year.
24:00 --> 24:04 [SPEAKER_02]: He can be Bryce from last year next year, and he can still have some good starts.
24:04 --> 24:08 [SPEAKER_02]: But to see the consistency and to see what Bryce did in the second half of twenty twenty four.
24:08 --> 24:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that might be a lot to ask for a guy that's really battled through a lot this year and thought his way back to pitch regardless to help his team down the stretch and a playoff run.
24:18 --> 24:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think what happened with Bryce on Monday night is he just didn't command anything that well.
24:24 --> 24:37 [SPEAKER_02]: His V-loading drop, and you and I talked about this before the show started, it was mostly ninety-fives, and that's a really good sign, because it's not dropping off like it was the second time he hit the IL when he couldn't seem to find a way to keep it up throughout outings.
24:38 --> 24:42 [SPEAKER_02]: The good news here is the stuff's there, like you said, and the V-loads not dropping.
24:43 --> 24:54 [SPEAKER_02]: So there's absolutely things for Bryce to build on here, but the ceiling and the upside is still there for him to turn in some really good starts the rest of the way because all the stuff is still playing up.
24:54 --> 24:56 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he has to command his pitch is better.
24:56 --> 24:58 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he has to throw more strikes and that's going to be the key.
24:59 --> 25:09 [SPEAKER_02]: But even if he's not quite pitching at the level of consistency that he did in twenty twenty four, still really important to have Bryce Miller back because you know that if he
25:11 --> 25:19 [SPEAKER_02]: and I think he's going to click once he gets a couple more starts under his belt that he is going to be an incredibly valuable piece of the team, especially in the bullpen, come October.
25:20 --> 25:25 [SPEAKER_03]: And look, maybe he just wasn't feeling the fastball as much second time through the order.
25:25 --> 25:26 [SPEAKER_03]: Like he stopped.
25:26 --> 25:29 [SPEAKER_03]: He really stopped throwing his fastball second time through.
25:29 --> 25:34 [SPEAKER_03]: It was twenty percent ish second time through the order against the podries.
25:35 --> 25:36 [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's mixing things up.
25:36 --> 25:42 [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe he's trying to get a feel for his other off speed pitches that he was feeling a little bit more comfortable with in a given start.
25:42 --> 25:47 [SPEAKER_03]: But I didn't really see anything that made me think that he was not healthy.
25:48 --> 25:57 [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why I just I kind of roll my eyes when I saw some of the reactionary stuff to that like He missed a ton of time this year.
25:57 --> 26:07 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know I don't know what we're expecting out of price and oh by the way his first two outings back are against really really really good offences.
26:08 --> 26:09 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, can we get them the Rockies?
26:11 --> 26:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Who's he gonna face in his next start?
26:13 --> 26:15 [SPEAKER_02]: He should pitch in Cleveland right?
26:16 --> 26:17 [SPEAKER_02]: And they're solid.
26:18 --> 26:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
26:19 --> 26:24 [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe a little bit of an easier task than the other two teams, especially because Cleveland's free falling right now.
26:24 --> 26:27 [SPEAKER_02]: But, easier lineup.
26:27 --> 26:29 [SPEAKER_02]: Now it is on the road, but he's your lineup.
26:29 --> 26:35 [SPEAKER_02]: After that, he should face the braves, I think, because what?
26:35 --> 26:36 [SPEAKER_02]: Two, three, four, five, right?
26:37 --> 26:37 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
26:38 --> 26:38 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, no.
26:39 --> 26:40 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's say hang on.
26:41 --> 26:43 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he'll face Cleveland and they'll face Atlanta, confirmed.
26:43 --> 26:44 [SPEAKER_02]: Cleveland and Atlanta.
26:45 --> 26:46 [SPEAKER_02]: Too often does that are really struggling this year.
26:47 --> 26:48 [SPEAKER_02]: So that'll be a little bit better.
26:48 --> 26:49 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
26:49 --> 26:55 [SPEAKER_03]: And as we highlighted with Logan and George, they had to sort of, they had to feel the way through the first few starts.
26:56 --> 26:57 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not all going to be smooth.
26:58 --> 27:00 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not worried about Bryce the rest of the season.
27:01 --> 27:04 [SPEAKER_03]: He, he's probably going to have hiccups because he's just not all the way there.
27:04 --> 27:08 [SPEAKER_03]: His season has been so up and down, so in and out that he's,
27:09 --> 27:19 [SPEAKER_03]: Not going to be twenty twenty four price miller and that's okay because what matters is twenty twenty six price miller looks a lot more like twenty twenty four than twenty five that's the goal here with price
27:20 --> 27:24 [SPEAKER_02]: And the goal is that he is healthy enough and again, he is healthy.
27:25 --> 27:25 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's put it like that.
27:25 --> 27:27 [SPEAKER_02]: He wouldn't be pitching if he wasn't.
27:27 --> 27:36 [SPEAKER_02]: That he is effective enough to really provide some juice for them out of a bullpen in October and keep some in ball games the rest of September.
27:37 --> 27:39 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure Bryce has much higher expectations for himself.
27:39 --> 27:45 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure if you ask Bryce Miller, he fully expects himself to go six shot out every time he's out there because he's got the ability to do it.
27:45 --> 27:47 [SPEAKER_02]: But if you can just get
27:48 --> 27:55 [SPEAKER_02]: Bryce Miller that keeps you in the game every fifth day and then he builds himself up enough where he's really really providing something out of the bullpen.
27:56 --> 27:57 [SPEAKER_02]: That is enough for twenty twenty five.
27:57 --> 28:00 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'll honor percent with you on that.
28:00 --> 28:01 [SPEAKER_03]: Support price.
28:01 --> 28:02 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
28:02 --> 28:03 [SPEAKER_03]: He's not he's not getting shut down.
28:03 --> 28:05 [SPEAKER_03]: He's not getting sent down into coma.
28:05 --> 28:09 [SPEAKER_02]: No, so everybody on Twitter or people in our comments.
28:09 --> 28:12 [SPEAKER_02]: Just try to relax a little bit relax a little.
28:12 --> 28:13 [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be all right.
28:13 --> 28:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
28:14 --> 28:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, let's take a minute, talk to you guys about our friends over at Pagache's Pubade E. Five.

28:41 --> 28:42 [SPEAKER_02]: And there's twenty TVs in the place.
28:42 --> 28:48 [SPEAKER_02]: So any amount of baseball, football, mariners, seahawks, college football, you might want to dive into.
28:49 --> 28:49 [SPEAKER_02]: It's all there for you.
28:50 --> 28:51 [SPEAKER_02]: So go check it out.
28:51 --> 28:53 [SPEAKER_02]: That's Pagaches, Pove, eighty five in Kirkland.
28:54 --> 28:57 [SPEAKER_03]: Did you realize it was cults football opening weekend this weekend?
28:58 --> 28:59 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but it's week zero.
28:59 --> 29:00 [SPEAKER_03]: It was week zero.
29:00 --> 29:03 [SPEAKER_03]: But even like week one like this upcoming weekend.
29:04 --> 29:05 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I know.
29:05 --> 29:05 [SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
29:05 --> 29:06 [SPEAKER_03]: College football's back.
29:06 --> 29:08 [SPEAKER_03]: I do snuck up on me.
29:08 --> 29:10 [SPEAKER_03]: That's that was got a crazy.
29:12 --> 29:14 [SPEAKER_03]: uh, really enjoyed sitting down with Johnny Farmelo.
29:14 --> 29:19 [SPEAKER_03]: He is one of the most interesting people playing in the Mariners organization.
29:19 --> 29:27 [SPEAKER_03]: I'll just say like we mentioned what exactly besides baseball is interesting about Johnny Farmelo because it is rare.
29:27 --> 29:28 [SPEAKER_03]: You find an athlete.
29:29 --> 29:30 [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe not rare.
29:30 --> 29:32 [SPEAKER_03]: Rare is the wrong word, but
29:34 --> 29:52 [SPEAKER_03]: Finding athletes with equal passions, it sounds like to me at least, of sport and something else is very interesting to me because it ultimately shows how human these guys are and that baseball is not everything for all of them.
29:53 --> 30:02 [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm glad that we have the platform here to take a little bit and talk to Johnny about some of his other interests and he explains it so well.
30:02 --> 30:03 [SPEAKER_03]: Wow, did you learn anything?
30:04 --> 30:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and you know what, I was actually interested because we were listening to a really interesting person talk about it in Johnny Farmello rather than having to sit in some stupid class in high school about it.
30:13 --> 30:23 [SPEAKER_02]: So if it had been in high school and those numbers are getting thrown at me, yeah, I'm probably tuned out, but I was genuinely interested in Johnny talking about it and why he's so passionate about it.
30:24 --> 30:28 [SPEAKER_02]: So I was, I was tuned in and I was actually very interested.
30:28 --> 30:30 [SPEAKER_02]: See, it just takes the right person.
30:30 --> 30:32 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I just had bad teachers, certainly possible.
30:32 --> 30:34 [SPEAKER_02]: Or I was just a bad student, also possible.
30:36 --> 30:36 [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway.
30:37 --> 30:42 [SPEAKER_03]: I think we just needed twenty thirteen Nick Franklin to teach your bio class.
30:43 --> 30:45 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh god, that would have been awful.
30:45 --> 30:47 [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I do want to say this.
30:49 --> 30:52 [SPEAKER_02]: One, it was a very very unique conversation and a bunch of fun.
30:52 --> 30:54 [SPEAKER_02]: Can we coin a nickname for him here?
30:54 --> 30:58 [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't even said this to you yet pre-recording or off the podcast, etc.
30:58 --> 30:58 [SPEAKER_02]: But
31:00 --> 31:06 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we've got a nickname for the guy now, that we can coin and we can start using the rest of his time through the miners when he gets into the majors.
31:07 --> 31:08 [SPEAKER_02]: Can we just call him Johnny Daytrades?
31:13 --> 31:13 [SPEAKER_02]: Why not?
31:16 --> 31:16 [SPEAKER_03]: That's a fun nickname.
31:16 --> 31:18 [SPEAKER_03]: It's not landing very well with me.
31:19 --> 31:21 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, how do we let the people decide?
31:21 --> 31:22 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's true.
31:22 --> 31:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Leave a comment.
31:24 --> 31:26 [SPEAKER_02]: That feels like the type of nickname that could latch on.
31:28 --> 31:30 [SPEAKER_03]: That doesn't feel like a baseball nickname.
31:31 --> 31:32 [SPEAKER_02]: But that's the point.
31:32 --> 31:33 [SPEAKER_02]: It's not about baseball.
31:34 --> 31:35 [SPEAKER_02]: It's about as other passions.
31:36 --> 31:38 [SPEAKER_02]: But we'd be tweeting it out with a baseball highlight.
31:40 --> 31:41 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it combines it all.
31:42 --> 31:44 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a good idea for an nickname.
31:44 --> 31:45 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna have to sleep on this.
31:47 --> 31:49 [SPEAKER_02]: I think we could coin a nickname here and run with it.
31:49 --> 31:50 [SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate you trying.
31:50 --> 31:52 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's actually an nickname you could run with.
31:53 --> 31:53 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
31:54 --> 31:54 [SPEAKER_02]: All right.
31:54 --> 31:55 [SPEAKER_02]: Leave us a comment.
31:56 --> 32:00 [SPEAKER_02]: And you guys can decide Johnny day trades, but it was a really fun conversation.
32:00 --> 32:05 [SPEAKER_02]: So I hope you I hope people enjoy because like TJ said, even if
32:06 --> 32:08 [SPEAKER_02]: There are athletes who have equal passions away from the field.
32:08 --> 32:13 [SPEAKER_02]: They don't always like to come forth and talk about it at length.
32:14 --> 32:16 [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes it's just things they like to keep to themselves.
32:16 --> 32:22 [SPEAKER_02]: But Johnny, Johnny clearly is not only passionate about it, but enjoys talking about it with other people.
32:22 --> 32:28 [SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully you guys tune in, check it out, and come away as fascinated as we were.
32:29 --> 32:30 [SPEAKER_03]: We won't keep you guys any longer.
32:30 --> 32:33 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get you to the interview with Johnny Formula.
32:36 --> 32:38 [SPEAKER_03]: All right, we're here back at Funko Field at Everett.
32:38 --> 32:41 [SPEAKER_03]: We have a very special guest on with us.
32:41 --> 32:44 [SPEAKER_03]: Mariners prospect Johnny Farmello.
32:45 --> 32:45 [SPEAKER_03]: How are we doing?
32:45 --> 32:46 [SPEAKER_03]: Are we feeling good?
32:46 --> 32:48 [SPEAKER_03]: Doing great feeling good excited to be here.
32:48 --> 32:49 [SPEAKER_03]: Down the stretch run of the season.
32:50 --> 32:52 [SPEAKER_03]: How does your, you've been through a lot this year?
32:52 --> 32:56 [SPEAKER_03]: How are you feeling at this point right now that you're back on the field and you're back out there playing?
32:56 --> 32:57 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm feeling good, man.
32:58 --> 33:00 [SPEAKER_01]: It's such a blessing to just be back on the field.
33:00 --> 33:04 [SPEAKER_01]: After being on and off the IL, you take a lot for granted.
33:04 --> 33:06 [SPEAKER_01]: And I just want to play.
33:06 --> 33:09 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care where or what or really how I'm playing, I just want to play.
33:10 --> 33:11 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's good to be doing that.
33:12 --> 33:13 [SPEAKER_03]: We asked Colt this question.
33:13 --> 33:14 [SPEAKER_03]: I'm curious to hear your answer this.
33:15 --> 33:19 [SPEAKER_03]: I look out at this field and it's for a professional baseball field.
33:19 --> 33:24 [SPEAKER_03]: It just looks so much different than I think anything else you would play in terms of the distance.
33:25 --> 33:27 [SPEAKER_03]: When you look out and you see short center field fences like that.
33:28 --> 33:29 [SPEAKER_03]: What goes through your mind?
33:29 --> 33:32 [SPEAKER_01]: So it actually reminds me of my high school field.
33:33 --> 33:39 [SPEAKER_01]: My high school field was pretty small and had a really big center field fence too, similar to this.
33:40 --> 33:42 [SPEAKER_01]: So it kind of reminds me of that a little bit.
33:43 --> 33:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of brings me home a little bit.
33:44 --> 33:48 [SPEAKER_02]: Did you use that center field like fence to your advantage a lot back in high school?
33:49 --> 33:50 [SPEAKER_02]: I did, yeah.
33:50 --> 33:53 [SPEAKER_01]: And high school is a little more common to have that type of field.
33:54 --> 33:56 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you don't really see that in professional baseball a lot.
33:57 --> 33:59 [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't mind it, man.
34:00 --> 34:03 [SPEAKER_02]: What was the deepest center field fence you saw at any high school field while you played?
34:04 --> 34:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
34:05 --> 34:06 [SPEAKER_02]: And then what was the shortest?
34:06 --> 34:06 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll follow it up.
34:07 --> 34:07 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
34:09 --> 34:13 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say the deepest was probably like a three, ninety all around.
34:13 --> 34:15 [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of like it is in left center here.
34:15 --> 34:17 [SPEAKER_01]: Like three, ninety done the demo line.
34:17 --> 34:23 [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, like the kind of in the gaps and then like a three thirty down the line and then the shortest
34:23 --> 34:28 [SPEAKER_01]: What's probably a three-thirty, like, deepest, like, kind of all around.
34:29 --> 34:33 [SPEAKER_01]: That type of field, a little bit like this, but even shorter, no deep left center.
34:33 --> 34:37 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you have a favorite, like, wall or park you've, like, conquered?
34:37 --> 34:44 [SPEAKER_03]: I think, majorly example, like, Oracle Park in San Francisco, you have Tripples Alley, or a Fenway Park, you also have their Alley in center field.
34:45 --> 34:49 [SPEAKER_03]: Is there anything like that where you've had a whole run over it, and you've been, like, all right, that was actually kind of pretty nice.
34:50 --> 34:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Not, you know, I don't think I played enough baseball to have that yet.
34:53 --> 35:00 [SPEAKER_01]: I had one here where it was a two strike like fly ball.
35:00 --> 35:03 [SPEAKER_01]: I kind of put my head down, thought it was an out and it went over.
35:03 --> 35:05 [SPEAKER_01]: And that was really the first time that I've kind of felt that.
35:06 --> 35:08 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really muscle balls over the fence.
35:09 --> 35:11 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not there yet, but here I've had a little bit of that.
35:11 --> 35:14 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'd say this is probably the closest to that.
35:14 --> 35:17 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you have a bucket list one that you want to get a list one?
35:18 --> 35:19 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to go backside of Fenway.
35:19 --> 35:20 [SPEAKER_01]: That would be sick.
35:21 --> 35:21 [SPEAKER_02]: Over the months there.
35:22 --> 35:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, lefty backside of the months.
35:23 --> 35:24 [SPEAKER_01]: It'd be hard.
35:24 --> 35:25 [SPEAKER_01]: It'd be hard, but I want to do that.
35:26 --> 35:28 [SPEAKER_02]: Have you ever taken BP at Fenway like a showcases or anything?
35:29 --> 35:29 [SPEAKER_01]: No, never.
35:29 --> 35:30 [SPEAKER_01]: Never been there.
35:30 --> 35:32 [SPEAKER_02]: So you didn't grow up with Red Sox fans then?
35:33 --> 35:34 [SPEAKER_01]: I did actually.
35:34 --> 35:36 [SPEAKER_01]: Our family was kind of Red Sox fans.
35:36 --> 35:38 [SPEAKER_01]: We were never huge baseball off people, but
35:39 --> 35:42 [SPEAKER_01]: That was the team we did root for, but never went there.
35:42 --> 35:43 [SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely on the buckle as though.
35:43 --> 35:45 [SPEAKER_01]: How many homeruns your senior year did you have?
35:45 --> 35:46 [SPEAKER_01]: If you can remember.
35:47 --> 35:51 [SPEAKER_01]: My senior year, I think I only hit like seven or eight.
35:52 --> 35:57 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really have like a super crazy year honestly.
35:57 --> 36:04 [SPEAKER_01]: I always felt like I played better in the summer, like in the showcases when the kids were throwing a little harder and like coming at you.
36:06 --> 36:08 [SPEAKER_01]: Like in high school, they would always spin me.
36:08 --> 36:10 [SPEAKER_01]: They're throwing a little softer.
36:10 --> 36:12 [SPEAKER_01]: I always felt it was a harder for me to hit that honestly.
36:13 --> 36:16 [SPEAKER_01]: So solid, but nothing like Taipei numbers.
36:19 --> 36:20 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
36:20 --> 36:20 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
36:21 --> 36:24 [SPEAKER_02]: That makes me think, I mean, think I'm gonna assume.
36:24 --> 36:34 [SPEAKER_02]: If you're seeing a bunch of spin and you're seeing it soft, that makes me think when you play these regular high school teams that during your school season, maybe they're a middleing team, maybe they're five hundred.
36:34 --> 37:02 [SPEAKER_01]: you're seeing pictures that I'm sure are not like the pictures on the showcases paired with when you get up to the plate those pictures are like oh I know who's coming up and I'm not giving them a fastball that yeah there was definitely a little bit of that you know the kid they throw slower and they're throwing their slowest page they're spanned so I I always I never loved that I would rather honestly face a guy through there's a hundred that's gonna come and move fastball then like a little like we're eighty-nine hours some arena
37:03 --> 37:04 [SPEAKER_02]: Let me ask, okay, let me ask you this.
37:04 --> 37:07 [SPEAKER_02]: We asked Ty this question when we sat down and talked him in the spring.
37:07 --> 37:08 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious.
37:08 --> 37:09 [SPEAKER_02]: He gave us a funny answer.
37:10 --> 37:14 [SPEAKER_02]: We were wondering for his sake that when you're, I guess, of that pedigree in high school.
37:14 --> 37:19 [SPEAKER_02]: People around your league, your city, probably notice some extent who you are, teams prepare for you.
37:20 --> 37:29 [SPEAKER_02]: But we asked Ty when you'd show up to games, would you get fans who knew who you were and would get in your ear and Ty said to us, dude, I would have teams show up from out of town and chart me.
37:30 --> 37:31 [SPEAKER_02]: Did you get any of that in high school?
37:31 --> 37:33 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you get the overrated chance and all that stuff?
37:33 --> 37:35 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I got a little bit of them.
37:36 --> 37:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Or like what I was always dealing with was I'd be in center and there would just be kids chirping me like behind the fence because they could just stand right behind the fence like in high school.
37:44 --> 37:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're right.
37:45 --> 37:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Just chirping me the whole game.
37:47 --> 37:53 [SPEAKER_01]: But honestly there wasn't like a ton of ton of people at our high school games until like the playoffs.
37:53 --> 37:57 [SPEAKER_01]: The playoffs is really when like the students would show up and they would, you know, give you the overrated chant.
37:58 --> 38:06 [SPEAKER_01]: So I got some of that later on, but I've seen a few videos of Ty's high school experience and I've heard from his mom to his, it was brutal.
38:06 --> 38:08 [SPEAKER_01]: So thankfully it wasn't that bad.
38:08 --> 38:15 [SPEAKER_02]: Although to his credit, he said when those teams showed up and chart me, if I have the story right, I think he said he hit two bombs in the game and at least with one of them he hit.
38:16 --> 38:18 [SPEAKER_02]: He like turned around and stared right at the team.
38:18 --> 38:19 [SPEAKER_02]: He showed us the video.
38:19 --> 38:21 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I've seen a video.
38:21 --> 38:22 [SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty good stuff.
38:22 --> 38:23 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you chart back ever?
38:24 --> 38:26 [SPEAKER_01]: Not really, no.
38:28 --> 38:29 [SPEAKER_01]: Never really done that.
38:29 --> 38:32 [SPEAKER_01]: Never had a moment though, like that.
38:34 --> 38:44 [SPEAKER_01]: When I played basketball, growing up a little bit, I was more of a talker there, a little more physical, but I never had any real moment to do that honestly.
38:44 --> 38:48 [SPEAKER_02]: feel like it's a lot easier to start seeing red when you're playing basketball than playing baseball.
38:48 --> 38:49 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, for sure.
38:49 --> 38:50 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
38:50 --> 38:52 [SPEAKER_02]: You get you get knocked down one time.
38:52 --> 38:53 [SPEAKER_02]: You're probably pissed.
38:53 --> 38:55 [SPEAKER_02]: That's just how basketball goes for sure.
38:55 --> 38:55 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
38:56 --> 38:57 [SPEAKER_03]: Here's a good question for you.
38:57 --> 39:04 [SPEAKER_03]: If you were to go back to high school now and instead of playing varsity, you're to go back and you're to play JV baseball for an entire season right now.
39:04 --> 39:05 [SPEAKER_02]: Didn't we do this with him?
39:06 --> 39:09 [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm not going to re-up it because he's been hitting more home runs lately.
39:09 --> 39:13 [SPEAKER_03]: How many home runs are we hitting in a full JV baseball season?
39:13 --> 39:17 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think honestly with how I feel now how my swing feels now.
39:18 --> 39:19 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm in fifty homeruns.
39:19 --> 39:22 [SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't know what I said last time.
39:22 --> 39:26 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a lighter number than that, but we're in fifty this time.
39:26 --> 39:28 [SPEAKER_02]: I think the last time you said ten.
39:28 --> 39:30 [SPEAKER_02]: That's a little bit of a power upgrade from the last time.
39:30 --> 39:31 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for sure.
39:31 --> 39:32 [SPEAKER_02]: A little bit of a surge.
39:32 --> 39:34 [SPEAKER_03]: So you have had this power surge.
39:34 --> 39:37 [SPEAKER_03]: What do you feel like his lead to this version of Johnny?
39:38 --> 39:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:39 --> 39:40 [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it's been a few things.
39:42 --> 39:48 [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like coming back from my knee surgery, I felt more like athletic and loosen the box.
39:50 --> 39:53 [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like my swing feels better, my bad path feels a little better.
39:53 --> 40:00 [SPEAKER_01]: I did a lot of like visualization and just kind of like mental reps when I was rehabbing when I couldn't swing.
40:01 --> 40:03 [SPEAKER_01]: And it kind of cleaned some stuff up, I think.
40:03 --> 40:09 [SPEAKER_01]: So then when I got back, I was kind of like I had a fresh slate to work with because I hadn't swung the bat in like eight months.
40:11 --> 40:14 [SPEAKER_01]: And everything was just kind of cleaner, a little bit more athletic.
40:14 --> 40:21 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think that is obviously a big contributor, but I think I'm just playing a little bit more free now, a little more fearless, a little more aggressive.
40:22 --> 40:23 [SPEAKER_01]: So that also helps.
40:24 --> 40:26 [SPEAKER_02]: When you say visualization, I'm curious.
40:26 --> 40:27 [SPEAKER_02]: What does that look like?
40:27 --> 40:31 [SPEAKER_02]: When you're rehabbing, is it standing in the box and just watching pictures go by in a cage?
40:32 --> 40:33 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a little bit of that.
40:33 --> 40:34 [SPEAKER_01]: We have a nice, like,
40:35 --> 40:55 [SPEAKER_01]: machine and Arizona that like simulates a picture so a little bit of that a little bit of just standing on the field holding the bat like no picture just closing your eyes just feeling things out I also do the VR the win reality scene pictures on that and just kind of like in the living room just feeling it out a little broomstick so
40:56 --> 40:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Tell us a little bit about that.
40:58 --> 41:00 [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I've heard that much detail about VR.
41:01 --> 41:02 [SPEAKER_03]: I've heard about the traject all the time.
41:02 --> 41:08 [SPEAKER_03]: The today you step in the box, you have the video screen, the ball comes out, but this you're not hitting a ball.
41:08 --> 41:09 [SPEAKER_03]: You're instead of just seeing it.
41:09 --> 41:11 [SPEAKER_03]: How close to realistic is it?
41:12 --> 41:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's soft like no one really knows.
41:17 --> 41:21 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say it's pretty close.
41:22 --> 41:26 [SPEAKER_01]: If realistic is ten and a ten, I'd say the VR's like a six or a five.
41:28 --> 41:35 [SPEAKER_01]: But I've always felt like you're practicing reacting to a moving object.
41:36 --> 41:42 [SPEAKER_01]: Even if it isn't necessarily the same thing, it's still getting you better at something that'll help you on the field.
41:42 --> 41:43 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not hurting.
41:43 --> 41:45 [SPEAKER_01]: Where's the Traject on that?
41:45 --> 41:45 [SPEAKER_01]: At a ten.
41:46 --> 41:47 [SPEAKER_01]: The Traject's like a nine.
41:47 --> 41:48 [SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty similar.
41:48 --> 41:49 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:49 --> 41:52 [SPEAKER_02]: Who's the wildest person you put up on the Traject machine for yourself?
41:53 --> 41:55 [SPEAKER_02]: Because you can put anybody up there, right?
41:55 --> 41:57 [SPEAKER_02]: Crochet's pretty wild.
41:57 --> 41:59 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you did that for you, especially.
41:59 --> 42:01 [SPEAKER_01]: School, like those lefties, sale.
42:02 --> 42:03 [SPEAKER_02]: Those guys are pretty wild.
42:04 --> 42:05 [SPEAKER_02]: What does that look like on the Traject?
42:05 --> 42:12 [SPEAKER_02]: I know you can't perfectly simulate it, but when it starts pumping a hundred from the left side with the crazy arm angle, is it, is it eye opening?
42:12 --> 42:13 [SPEAKER_01]: a little bit.
42:13 --> 42:26 [SPEAKER_01]: It's I open honestly in the in the sense that like once you see it a few times you're like oh I can actually hit this honestly like you think that it would be like so overpowering but after seeing it a few times it's like
42:27 --> 42:29 [SPEAKER_01]: Nah, like I can get on time here.
42:30 --> 42:32 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little weird, though, because it shoots it right out.
42:32 --> 42:37 [SPEAKER_01]: Like you see the visual of the pitcher winding up, but then like the ball shoots out real quick.
42:39 --> 42:44 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of why I was saying nine, not like the spot on ten on ten, but it's legit.
42:44 --> 42:45 [SPEAKER_02]: Can you put minor leagueers on there, too?
42:46 --> 42:49 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, if they have them in the system, that's just that.
42:49 --> 42:49 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
42:49 --> 42:51 [SPEAKER_02]: So if you put a bunch of the minor leagueers up there, too?
42:51 --> 42:52 [SPEAKER_02]: Nah, we never really do that.
42:52 --> 42:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
42:54 --> 42:55 [SPEAKER_01]: Mainly just the big names.
42:56 --> 42:57 [SPEAKER_01]: You put any Mariners on there?
42:57 --> 42:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, all the mariners guys are on there.
42:58 --> 43:01 [SPEAKER_01]: And they're on the VR too.
43:01 --> 43:05 [SPEAKER_01]: So you can see Logan Gilbert on the trajectory and on the VR if you want to.
43:05 --> 43:06 [SPEAKER_02]: I can.
43:06 --> 43:07 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, very cool.
43:07 --> 43:10 [SPEAKER_03]: How many live at bats have you gotten against those guys?
43:10 --> 43:12 [SPEAKER_01]: Very slim to none.
43:12 --> 43:17 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I stood in on woo like my first spring training for one at bat.
43:19 --> 43:19 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's it.
43:20 --> 43:22 [SPEAKER_01]: None of the other guys I hadn't seen.
43:22 --> 43:23 [SPEAKER_03]: What does it like to watch as fastball?
43:25 --> 43:27 [SPEAKER_01]: feels like it's just like a rice ball.
43:28 --> 43:40 [SPEAKER_01]: You know we we face guys all the time that like have that ride but like a lot of times it only feels like it's riding and it's like a top of the zone ball but wooze is different wooze even when it's like
43:40 --> 43:41 [SPEAKER_01]: down the middle or in his own.
43:41 --> 43:43 [SPEAKER_01]: It still feels like it's riding.
43:44 --> 43:46 [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's part of why he's so good.
43:46 --> 43:47 [SPEAKER_01]: Crazy.
43:47 --> 43:51 [SPEAKER_02]: We got on this topic because you mentioned you did a lot of this while you were recovery.
43:51 --> 44:00 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to spend all the time in the world on it, but just to give people a little bit of perspective, can you walk people through what a normal day look like for you while you were going through your recovery?
44:00 --> 44:01 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
44:01 --> 44:05 [SPEAKER_01]: So I was in Arizona for the whole rehab process.
44:06 --> 44:08 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'd wake up pretty early, wake up around six.
44:09 --> 44:10 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm big in the stock market.
44:11 --> 44:12 [SPEAKER_02]: We want to get to that later.
44:12 --> 44:12 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
44:13 --> 44:13 [SPEAKER_01]: That's my thing.
44:14 --> 44:18 [SPEAKER_01]: So the market opens at six thirty West Coast time in nine thirty Eastern.
44:19 --> 44:23 [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm staring at the market for like, honestly, three hours.
44:24 --> 44:26 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, six, thirty, then nine, thirty, ten.
44:26 --> 44:27 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm staring at the market.
44:28 --> 44:30 [SPEAKER_01]: And then I get done with that.
44:30 --> 44:32 [SPEAKER_01]: I would usually get in the word a little bit.
44:32 --> 44:33 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big Christian.
44:33 --> 44:35 [SPEAKER_01]: So get that out of the way.
44:36 --> 44:39 [SPEAKER_01]: And then go to rehab around like eleven.
44:39 --> 44:44 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be there for a few hours doing all sorts of stuff early on.
44:44 --> 44:45 [SPEAKER_01]: It was a little slower.
44:45 --> 44:47 [SPEAKER_01]: And then as I got gone, it was more like hit for all.
44:48 --> 44:50 [SPEAKER_01]: Lift weights.
44:50 --> 44:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Finish that, eat back in the apartment.
44:53 --> 45:00 [SPEAKER_01]: going over the tree and back on the charts, make dinner, go to bed.
45:02 --> 45:09 [SPEAKER_03]: For everyone, for however much you feel like sharing, what have you worked through these last couple of years, injury wise?
45:10 --> 45:13 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's been tough, a tough stretch for sure.
45:15 --> 45:32 [SPEAKER_01]: like you you want me to list the injuries kind of however you feel comfortable sharing yeah i mean well i had the knee the knee surgery um so that was you know a big one kind of came out of nowhere um and then had a small wrist thing to that we had to deal with which is good um
45:34 --> 45:57 [SPEAKER_01]: And then a rib injury this year kind of like an oblique So yeah, just a lot of stuff kind of weird or stuff to not like a sore arm or sort of like hamstring like kind of more freakish stuff So not not ideal, but you know, I know that if got allowed it can be used for good I've grown a lot through it What has been the toughest one to work through?
45:58 --> 45:58 [SPEAKER_03]: Was it the knee?
45:59 --> 46:03 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd say it's the knee I mean because the knee it's like it just takes time to do it
46:03 --> 46:06 [SPEAKER_01]: I still don't feel like normal yet, honestly.
46:08 --> 46:09 [SPEAKER_01]: And it's just a longer process.
46:10 --> 46:12 [SPEAKER_03]: How much time did you get to spend with Victor Robless down there?
46:12 --> 46:15 [SPEAKER_01]: I got a few weeks.
46:15 --> 46:21 [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't really around him or like working with him a ton, but around him a little bit.
46:21 --> 46:22 [SPEAKER_01]: But nice guy.
46:22 --> 46:27 [SPEAKER_01]: I grew up in the northern Virginia DC area, so I watch him and use a national.
46:27 --> 46:28 [SPEAKER_03]: That must be cool.
46:28 --> 46:29 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was cool.
46:29 --> 46:32 [SPEAKER_01]: So I let him know that was our fan of his like that.
46:32 --> 46:33 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, how did you receive it?
46:34 --> 46:34 [SPEAKER_01]: He liked it.
46:35 --> 46:37 [SPEAKER_01]: He asked me a little bit about the area.
46:37 --> 46:38 [SPEAKER_01]: That's where I was from.
46:38 --> 46:40 [SPEAKER_01]: With the big yellow or even down in Arizona.
46:41 --> 46:41 [SPEAKER_01]: Yellow?
46:42 --> 46:44 [SPEAKER_01]: No, he was pretty quiet.
46:44 --> 46:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
46:45 --> 46:47 [SPEAKER_01]: He was just kind of getting his stuff done and
46:49 --> 46:49 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
46:49 --> 46:50 [SPEAKER_02]: That was interesting.
46:50 --> 46:52 [SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting that differs a little bit from Seattle.
46:52 --> 46:56 [SPEAKER_02]: When he's up in Seattle, every day he'll run up onto the field, the hill just starts screaming or whatever.
46:56 --> 46:57 [SPEAKER_02]: He just fired up.
46:57 --> 46:57 [SPEAKER_02]: He's fired up to be there.
46:57 --> 46:59 [SPEAKER_02]: He's fired up to play with the guys.
46:59 --> 47:01 [SPEAKER_02]: But where was I going to go?
47:01 --> 47:15 [SPEAKER_02]: That's, oh, when you were rehabbing the rib, if a such thing exists, if you want to look last half full, was there any blessing in disguise there where you were just able to let the knee rehab a little bit more while you were recovering the rib side as well?
47:15 --> 47:16 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, a hundred percent.
47:16 --> 47:17 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a hundred percent.
47:18 --> 47:24 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say, this is, I love this league, but the turf is a little bit harder on the knee than grass.
47:25 --> 47:28 [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, it's a little harder to stay in shape here.
47:29 --> 47:30 [SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely doable though.
47:31 --> 47:34 [SPEAKER_01]: So it did give the knee kind of a break for a few weeks.
47:36 --> 47:43 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I will never know, like if, if I really needed that or not or whatever, but I think that definitely could be a good thing.
47:44 --> 47:45 [SPEAKER_02]: Did you know right away?
47:45 --> 47:46 [SPEAKER_02]: This is the last question I have on it by the way.
47:46 --> 47:56 [SPEAKER_02]: Did you know right away when it happened that like, oh, this is this could be bad or did it just feel like it got shaken up a little bit on the play of Modesta when when the knee kind of popped.
47:57 --> 48:17 [SPEAKER_01]: you know so when I went down I remember seeing my knee kind of go the wrong way too far and I went down and I was like scared to look at it honestly because I thought it like it might not be in the right place but then I looked at it and it was good and I got up and like
48:18 --> 48:38 [SPEAKER_01]: kind of ran and it was like okay and I was like all right like we're good I think like kind of I was just denying it a little bit and then like the next play of course guy hits a ball in the gap and I take like one step and I was like oh like nah this isn't this isn't right but I didn't think it was like ACL mm-hmm
48:39 --> 48:45 [SPEAKER_01]: And I remember, like, text in my parents, like, you know, I tweaked my knee, like, this isn't, like, seasoned ending, but, like, something weird happened.
48:46 --> 48:49 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, whatever, we'll see that I'm, like, maybe a menace case or something.
48:50 --> 48:52 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and then sure enough, get them a ride.
48:53 --> 48:54 [SPEAKER_01]: We found out, sure.
48:54 --> 48:57 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but looking back, it was like, yeah, like, kind of makes sense.
48:57 --> 48:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
48:58 --> 48:59 [SPEAKER_02]: All right.
48:59 --> 48:59 [SPEAKER_02]: I lied.
48:59 --> 49:02 [SPEAKER_02]: Last last question, but it's more on the positive side.
49:02 --> 49:04 [SPEAKER_02]: You posted a video while you were rehabbing.
49:05 --> 49:05 [SPEAKER_02]: A while back.
49:06 --> 49:11 [SPEAKER_02]: But you post the video of you and round lacunia of all people who is also rehabbing from the same injury.
49:12 --> 49:15 [SPEAKER_02]: We asked you about this a little while back, but I'm curious just for the people to hear.
49:15 --> 49:19 [SPEAKER_02]: Did you get to take anything away from him much, just spending any time at all around him?
49:20 --> 49:20 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I did.
49:20 --> 49:23 [SPEAKER_01]: He was a really nice guy.
49:23 --> 49:26 [SPEAKER_01]: We could only get so far because of the language barrier.
49:27 --> 49:29 [SPEAKER_01]: But I asked him a few questions about hitting.
49:31 --> 49:32 [SPEAKER_01]: He's always in the fastball.
49:32 --> 49:33 [SPEAKER_01]: I was asking him about that.
49:34 --> 49:51 [SPEAKER_01]: As soon a little bit about his hands like if he tries to get his hands back he said no, he tries to be sure Which is a little surprising because he just kind of have a longer like stretch Yeah, other than that we would kind of talk about the process It's the knee process.
49:51 --> 49:56 [SPEAKER_01]: It's really hard to sleep at first So we always talking about that But that was really about it.
49:56 --> 49:57 [SPEAKER_01]: It was that.
49:57 --> 49:58 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's just hurt that much
49:59 --> 50:04 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's just like you can't really like move around much like, oh, I super my stomach.
50:05 --> 50:07 [SPEAKER_01]: And you had kind of to sleep under back.
50:07 --> 50:08 [SPEAKER_01]: And just like, yeah.
50:08 --> 50:23 [SPEAKER_02]: So once you get back here and once you get back to ever, when you did this year, is it such a sigh of relief where, okay, I'm out of Arizona, this isn't just practice anymore, this isn't training anymore, I'm playing games, I'm back with all the guys, is there a real sense of relief there?
50:24 --> 50:25 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd say so.
50:27 --> 50:28 [SPEAKER_01]: After being there,
50:29 --> 50:32 [SPEAKER_01]: Like coming here it feels like the best thing in the Aberdeen.
50:32 --> 50:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Like it literally feels like a dream come true and it is.
50:35 --> 50:38 [SPEAKER_01]: It's just you kind of lose that perspective when you've been here for so long.
50:39 --> 50:49 [SPEAKER_01]: But I'd say even when I first got here it was like still rehab like it was still like I'm only playing a few games a week and you have to do this this and this and like
50:49 --> 50:53 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how you feel type thing and it's still kind of is that.
50:53 --> 51:00 [SPEAKER_01]: So I think honestly like next year will really be the year where it's like, I'm gonna be fresh full off season.
51:00 --> 51:04 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a role in a camp feeling good and then we go.
51:05 --> 51:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Because I think honestly my body is like still just getting used to playing baseball at their missing year, which is why like a red thing happened.
51:11 --> 51:11 [SPEAKER_01]: What?
51:11 --> 51:12 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
51:15 --> 51:26 [SPEAKER_03]: The Mariners preach so much about chemistry between classes of prospects, you're in with tie, coal, lads, Michael Arroyo, all these guys that you've been up with to the miners.
51:26 --> 51:29 [SPEAKER_03]: How have you managed that yourself?
51:29 --> 51:31 [SPEAKER_03]: We'll having to spend so much time away from everybody.
51:32 --> 51:35 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
51:35 --> 51:36 [SPEAKER_01]: I say, I love the group.
51:37 --> 51:38 [SPEAKER_01]: We have a really good group.
51:39 --> 51:41 [SPEAKER_01]: And it's really fun playing with these guys.
51:43 --> 51:44 [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone's really competitive.
51:45 --> 51:56 [SPEAKER_01]: And we, it's really a blessing to be drafted with tying coal and, you know, beer round, lads and Michael and all the Spanish guys to, um, fell in and just got here.
51:56 --> 51:57 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's, it's really good.
51:57 --> 52:02 [SPEAKER_01]: It was hard though when I was rehabbing because I felt like I was kind of behind everyone and I was losing steam.
52:03 --> 52:16 [SPEAKER_01]: you know, and like, we're also competitive and we want to be the best players, you know, in the system and baseball, the best players play the game, you know, and it's just like when you're on the sidelines, you can't play.
52:17 --> 52:21 [SPEAKER_01]: So that was a little hard, but coming back is a lot of fun being with these guys.
52:21 --> 52:23 [SPEAKER_02]: Who have you gotten close with over the years?
52:23 --> 52:30 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know you and Ty go all the way back to high school, you guys room together for a little bit, but aside from him, who in New York have you really gotten to be friends with?
52:30 --> 52:31 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
52:32 --> 52:33 [SPEAKER_01]: Me and Ty, you definitely go way back.
52:34 --> 52:35 [SPEAKER_01]: We're really close.
52:36 --> 52:38 [SPEAKER_01]: Me and Cole are very close friends as well.
52:39 --> 52:41 [SPEAKER_01]: We become very close.
52:42 --> 52:48 [SPEAKER_01]: Brock, Rodden, Jared, Sunshine, and Ben Williams into those four guys.
52:49 --> 52:50 [SPEAKER_01]: All of that are them three.
52:50 --> 52:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Colt and myself, we lived together in spring training for two years now.
52:54 --> 52:56 [SPEAKER_01]: So we were a pretty tight group.
52:57 --> 52:58 [SPEAKER_01]: We were boys.
52:58 --> 53:00 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I'd say those, those guys.
53:00 --> 53:02 [SPEAKER_01]: Would you guys like to do in spring training when you be in the house together?
53:03 --> 53:05 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh man, we would do a little bit of everything.
53:05 --> 53:10 [SPEAKER_01]: We actually played a lot of golf in the backyard.
53:10 --> 53:15 [SPEAKER_01]: We had a little grass face.
53:15 --> 53:16 [SPEAKER_01]: You had the turf and all that?
53:16 --> 53:17 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was grass.
53:18 --> 53:20 [SPEAKER_01]: So that was fun.
53:20 --> 53:23 [SPEAKER_01]: We had a few incidents, so we had a window break.
53:24 --> 53:24 [SPEAKER_01]: Who did it?
53:25 --> 53:26 [SPEAKER_01]: It was Ben Williamson.
53:27 --> 53:29 [SPEAKER_01]: So I started playing and
53:29 --> 53:34 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big flop shot guy, so I open the club face up, full swing, full swing, ball goes straight up.
53:35 --> 53:39 [SPEAKER_01]: So I started doing that in our little game, and everyone wanted to do that because it's fun, right?
53:39 --> 53:44 [SPEAKER_01]: So Jared was doing it, Brock was doing it, and Ben tries to do it, and Ben just didn't have it.
53:45 --> 53:48 [SPEAKER_01]: He just didn't have it, so he like, scolded one right into the window.
53:51 --> 53:53 [SPEAKER_01]: My flop said, do you mean it just goes straight up?
53:53 --> 53:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, fuck.
53:54 --> 53:55 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like straight up.
53:55 --> 53:55 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
53:55 --> 53:58 [SPEAKER_01]: You got really open the face like sixty degree clothes.
53:59 --> 54:00 [SPEAKER_01]: It's fun, you know.
54:00 --> 54:02 [SPEAKER_02]: He plays and watch it a lot of golf if you can catch the straight down.
54:02 --> 54:05 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's more of a mini golfer.
54:06 --> 54:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
54:06 --> 54:06 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
54:07 --> 54:10 [SPEAKER_02]: And knowing Ben, he's like one of the nicest dude that we probably felt awful when it happened, right?
54:10 --> 54:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
54:11 --> 54:11 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
54:11 --> 54:12 [SPEAKER_01]: We are.
54:12 --> 54:20 [SPEAKER_01]: We got it taken care of, you know, the owner of the house wasn't thrilled, but we took care of it.
54:20 --> 54:24 [SPEAKER_03]: Was this at the same time when Bryson was doing his challenge, where he's trying to hit the hole in one over his house?
54:25 --> 54:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's similar time.
54:27 --> 54:28 [SPEAKER_01]: Similar.
54:28 --> 54:28 [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
54:28 --> 54:30 [SPEAKER_01]: You guys should try those videos.
54:30 --> 54:31 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a little more leeway.
54:31 --> 54:33 [SPEAKER_03]: But there are some more windows.
54:33 --> 54:35 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we could have tried that.
54:35 --> 54:36 [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm the only one to go pull that off.
54:37 --> 54:39 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm the only one who really has a flop in my bag on.
54:40 --> 54:42 [SPEAKER_03]: Was there a house like right behind it?
54:43 --> 55:03 [SPEAKER_03]: right behind the house after that guard we had balls flying and other people's back hurts so okay also like if there's nothing but desert behind you then you have the then you have the leeway you just need to get it over the house either lands on the green or it lands in the desert and it's no biggie no no no no what do you shoot on a team so i haven't played golf in a while before shake is all the injuries
55:04 --> 55:05 [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I'm not like a good golfer.
55:05 --> 55:07 [SPEAKER_01]: I probably shoot like a hundred plus.
55:07 --> 55:09 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but I'm nice to flop shot though.
55:10 --> 55:10 [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
55:10 --> 55:11 [SPEAKER_01]: That's the one shot I got.
55:11 --> 55:18 [SPEAKER_02]: Or Cole and Ben and those guys any better at the golf just like on around the day team could those guys shoot me better than I think.
55:19 --> 55:20 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I think yeah, I think so.
55:20 --> 55:21 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it'd be pretty tight.
55:21 --> 55:22 [SPEAKER_01]: Brock's really good.
55:22 --> 55:23 [SPEAKER_01]: Brock's really good.
55:24 --> 55:25 [SPEAKER_01]: Ties really good too.
55:26 --> 55:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Some of the guys here are really good.
55:29 --> 55:30 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we're all
55:30 --> 55:37 [SPEAKER_02]: All of a, except for Brock or... Here's an interesting question, because I think Ty golf's righty if I have this right.
55:37 --> 55:37 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you golf righty?
55:38 --> 55:38 [SPEAKER_02]: No, I golf lefty.
55:38 --> 55:39 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
55:39 --> 55:39 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
55:39 --> 55:41 [SPEAKER_02]: That is, I never understand it.
55:41 --> 55:44 [SPEAKER_02]: Guys who hit lefty and do everything lefty and baseball, and then they golf righty.
55:44 --> 55:46 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't understand that either.
55:46 --> 55:47 [SPEAKER_01]: I can never do that.
55:47 --> 55:47 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
55:48 --> 55:50 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if I tried to swing a baseball bat left handed, it would look ridiculous.
55:50 --> 55:51 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
55:51 --> 55:51 [SPEAKER_03]: Same.
55:51 --> 55:52 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
55:52 --> 55:54 [SPEAKER_03]: What other things do you besides golf, do you guys do here?
55:55 --> 55:55 [SPEAKER_03]: Here and ever it.
55:56 --> 55:58 [SPEAKER_03]: For like, if you have an off day and you want to do something fun, what do you guys do?
56:00 --> 56:22 [SPEAKER_01]: some guys fish but other than that I mean we're traveling them off day a lot so I haven't gotten into too much I've only been here for so long too but I know some guys fish some guys golf I've gone a few walks there's some good spots up here like just walks the parks are very nice yes it's really pretty up here yeah
56:23 --> 56:23 [SPEAKER_02]: He's busy.
56:24 --> 56:25 [SPEAKER_02]: He's busy online on the stock market.
56:25 --> 56:27 [SPEAKER_03]: I was going to say that was going to be next.
56:27 --> 56:30 [SPEAKER_03]: It's like I know what your number one audience.
56:30 --> 56:31 [SPEAKER_03]: We can get it to it.
56:31 --> 56:32 [SPEAKER_03]: Do you want to bring the question in how you want to.
56:33 --> 56:36 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think he now already knows you were going to talk about it, but I was going to bring it in originally.
56:36 --> 56:37 [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just hear.
56:37 --> 56:38 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll sit here and pretend like we never asked that.
56:38 --> 56:39 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
56:39 --> 56:42 [SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to tell the people what you get up and do first thing in the morning?
56:43 --> 56:43 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
56:43 --> 56:49 [SPEAKER_01]: So every day I get up and not so much here because of the schedule, but
56:50 --> 57:00 [SPEAKER_01]: First thing in the morning, I get on the charts, check the market, check all the stocks I'm looking at, Mazda, S&P, just trying to get ahead of the situation, get ahead of the smart money.
57:00 --> 57:02 [SPEAKER_01]: That's the goal.
57:02 --> 57:03 [SPEAKER_01]: How did this start?
57:04 --> 57:05 [SPEAKER_01]: So I got into a high school.
57:06 --> 57:15 [SPEAKER_01]: My dad set up a little game with me and my sisters to invest and the winner of that game got like real money to invest in a stock
57:16 --> 57:25 [SPEAKER_01]: So I won that competition and then I get some real money from my dad play with and he thought I was gonna buy a few safe companies but that's not what I was gonna do.
57:25 --> 57:26 [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit more adventurous.
57:26 --> 57:27 [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit more adventurous.
57:27 --> 57:33 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I was trying to like day trade the mass deck, you know like hyper trail like scalping it like in and out.
57:34 --> 57:37 [SPEAKER_01]: And he's getting the alerts because it's like under his name because I was under a team.
57:39 --> 57:41 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of how I first got into it.
57:41 --> 57:43 [SPEAKER_01]: And then I started like watching videos.
57:45 --> 57:47 [SPEAKER_01]: There's a ton of stuff in the internet, reading books.
57:48 --> 57:49 [SPEAKER_01]: I was bored in high school.
57:50 --> 57:52 [SPEAKER_01]: So I was just all over the market all day.
57:52 --> 57:54 [SPEAKER_01]: And I really fell in love with it.
57:54 --> 58:16 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you an individual stock fire or a like I'm a mutual fund buyer I like my book so so I've done a little bit of everything I've done a little bit of like day trading swing trading the indexes like you know you think that Nas X gonna go up this week I'm gonna buy it or whatever or the S&P whatever that but recently I've been more in the individual stocks
58:18 --> 58:44 [SPEAKER_01]: the goal is kind of like to buy the stocks that institutions and hedge funds are going to buy because these guys are going to spend billions of dollars on a company and when they decide to buy a stock they're going to buy it every day for like a year because you know if they're putting a billion dollars in the stock they got to buy a little bit a little bit a little bit if they just put all one day it's going to spike and then ever so so basically the idea is that you kind of ride their wave
58:46 --> 58:54 [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, when you're looking at a stock chart, you're looking at supply and demand, supply's high, people sell, demand's high, people buy.
58:55 --> 58:57 [SPEAKER_01]: And you're also looking at human psychology.
58:57 --> 58:59 [SPEAKER_01]: So people get fearful, they get greedy.
59:00 --> 59:03 [SPEAKER_01]: So like that's why like stuff repeats on the chart.
59:04 --> 59:05 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's why you can make money off of this.
59:06 --> 59:08 [SPEAKER_03]: And at given morning, how many trades do you make?
59:12 --> 59:13 [SPEAKER_01]: Recently, not that many.
59:14 --> 59:15 [SPEAKER_01]: It really depends on where the market is.
59:17 --> 59:19 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say it's like three to five trades a week.
59:20 --> 59:21 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
59:22 --> 59:27 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like, as somebody who knows nothing about this stuff, I'm thinking of myself, I don't need to learn anything about this.
59:27 --> 59:30 [SPEAKER_02]: I can sit here and listen to you and pick my stock, they stop this.
59:30 --> 59:31 [SPEAKER_01]: I really don't know what I'm doing.
59:31 --> 59:36 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say like think of it trading the market is different than like investing.
59:36 --> 59:38 [SPEAKER_01]: That's like what I'm trying to do is trading the market.
59:39 --> 59:42 [SPEAKER_01]: Trading is a lot like playing like poker or like blackjack.
59:43 --> 59:48 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, you see your cards, you see the market or a stock, and you make a bet based on that.
59:49 --> 59:52 [SPEAKER_01]: And more times than not, you're hopefully going to make money.
59:52 --> 59:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's kind of the whole idea.
59:55 --> 59:58 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, you're probably going to lose like six times out of ten.
59:59 --> 01:00:00 [SPEAKER_01]: But when you win, you win bigger.
01:00:00 --> 01:00:03 [SPEAKER_01]: And then in the end, you make money over hundreds of trades.
01:00:03 --> 01:00:04 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of the idea.
01:00:05 --> 01:00:06 [SPEAKER_03]: Here's another good question.
01:00:06 --> 01:00:07 [SPEAKER_03]: How many screens are in your setup?
01:00:08 --> 01:00:09 [SPEAKER_01]: So only two screens.
01:00:09 --> 01:00:12 [SPEAKER_01]: I have my laptop, and then I have like a monitor.
01:00:13 --> 01:00:15 [SPEAKER_01]: But that's because I'm on the move.
01:00:15 --> 01:00:18 [SPEAKER_01]: Like when I get back home for the offseason, like I'm gonna have like four screens.
01:00:19 --> 01:00:24 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna have some ultra wide too, like nice screen.
01:00:24 --> 01:00:25 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna really dial the setup in.
01:00:25 --> 01:00:27 [SPEAKER_02]: So you're gonna look like a full-scale YouTuber.
01:00:27 --> 01:00:29 [SPEAKER_02]: The difference is you're not creating content.
01:00:29 --> 01:00:31 [SPEAKER_02]: You're out here like a train stop.
01:00:31 --> 01:00:31 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, moving money.
01:00:32 --> 01:00:32 [SPEAKER_02]: What?
01:00:32 --> 01:00:37 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, here's the level of like dumb knowledge that I have about this stop.
01:00:37 --> 01:00:41 [SPEAKER_02]: When all that stuff with game stop went down a couple years ago, what was your take on that?
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45 [SPEAKER_01]: So I wasn't in the market then I was a little young.
01:00:45 --> 01:00:47 [SPEAKER_01]: I got into like a year after that.
01:00:47 --> 01:00:49 [SPEAKER_01]: But that was a really cool time.
01:00:49 --> 01:00:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that was basically like retail, which is basically people like me and you who like don't have a lot of money compared to these Wall Street sharks.
01:00:59 --> 01:01:05 [SPEAKER_01]: So that was basically like we were deciding to buy a game stop and Wall Street was basically saying no way.
01:01:06 --> 01:01:07 [SPEAKER_01]: These guys are idiots.
01:01:07 --> 01:01:09 [SPEAKER_01]: So they decided to short it.
01:01:11 --> 01:01:28 [SPEAKER_01]: and you know what happens is when they short the stock they want to go down and but if it doesn't go down and it goes up they start losing money so then they have to technically like buy the stock back which makes it go up even more that's like what they call a short squeeze so that's kind of what it was just like us versus them
01:01:29 --> 01:01:31 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, it would have been a fun time to trade the markets.
01:01:32 --> 01:01:34 [SPEAKER_01]: But I was like, fifteen or fourteen.
01:01:35 --> 01:01:37 [SPEAKER_01]: I was a little later than that.
01:01:38 --> 01:01:39 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's cool.
01:01:39 --> 01:01:40 [SPEAKER_01]: Cool time for sure.
01:01:40 --> 01:01:45 [SPEAKER_03]: So if your teammates have told us that if you weren't here playing baseball, you'd be working on Wall Street.
01:01:45 --> 01:01:46 [SPEAKER_03]: Is that correct?
01:01:46 --> 01:01:47 [SPEAKER_01]: You know.
01:01:47 --> 01:01:54 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I think I would be trading the market like working there is a little different than trading, but yeah, I would definitely be doing something like that.
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56 [SPEAKER_03]: I was thinking like Goldman Sachs for you.
01:01:56 --> 01:01:57 [SPEAKER_01]: For sure.
01:01:57 --> 01:01:58 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm open.
01:01:58 --> 01:01:59 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm open to interviews.
01:02:01 --> 01:02:01 [SPEAKER_01]: If anyone's watching.
01:02:03 --> 01:02:05 [SPEAKER_02]: When you're in the offseason you have a little more downtime.
01:02:05 --> 01:02:08 [SPEAKER_02]: It's like sure I'll take a side job working a few hours of Goldman Sachs.
01:02:09 --> 01:02:13 [SPEAKER_03]: That could be your post baseball baseball career.
01:02:13 --> 01:02:14 [SPEAKER_01]: I really think it's a blessing.
01:02:14 --> 01:02:25 [SPEAKER_01]: It really got me through my rehab I think because it's like it's basically competing right but against like markets and other people you know because when you buy something someone else is selling it
01:02:25 --> 01:02:29 [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, there's a winner in the loser in the market.
01:02:29 --> 01:02:42 [SPEAKER_02]: I guess, yeah, I guess that is interesting that baseball players are naturally competitive and you have things that you're competitive with and a lot of guys talk about, they like to play video games off the field, there's some guys like you said like to fish off the field and there's some sense of the competitive edge you get from that stuff.
01:02:42 --> 01:02:43 [SPEAKER_02]: But for you, it's trading stocks.
01:02:44 --> 01:02:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's really freed me up on the field because like I know that like if I get hurt again or for some reason I can never play baseball again.
01:02:53 --> 01:02:55 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm just going to go be a shark in the market.
01:02:56 --> 01:02:58 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, so it kind of frees me up a little bit.
01:02:58 --> 01:03:00 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, so it's like, I'm not going to be scared.
01:03:00 --> 01:03:02 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm going to, I'm swinging at this pitch.
01:03:02 --> 01:03:10 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm going to be aggressive because if I don't have this, if somehow this goes away, I don't what I'm going to do and I'm going to be fine doing that.
01:03:11 --> 01:03:12 [SPEAKER_03]: Last trading question.
01:03:12 --> 01:03:13 [SPEAKER_03]: Have you gotten anyone else into it?
01:03:14 --> 01:03:14 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
01:03:15 --> 01:03:18 [SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Hawks started last night.
01:03:19 --> 01:03:20 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, he is into it.
01:03:21 --> 01:03:22 [SPEAKER_01]: He's he's a good trader.
01:03:22 --> 01:03:23 [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be good.
01:03:23 --> 01:03:24 [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be profitable for sure.
01:03:24 --> 01:03:27 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, who else?
01:03:28 --> 01:03:32 [SPEAKER_01]: No one has really got into it like he has honestly in the organization.
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, my cousin Luke is really into it.
01:03:35 --> 01:03:37 [SPEAKER_01]: So funny story when I was in high school.
01:03:38 --> 01:03:40 [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Luke was a freshman in high school.
01:03:40 --> 01:03:44 [SPEAKER_01]: I was a senior and there was multiple times where I would go to the bathroom.
01:03:45 --> 01:03:48 [SPEAKER_01]: looking to get like a signal on my phone or just to check my phone.
01:03:48 --> 01:03:56 [SPEAKER_01]: Can't check your phone in class and I'd walk in and looks in the bathroom, holding this phone up, trying to do the same thing, trying to check the stocks.
01:03:56 --> 01:04:00 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean him talk every day about it.
01:04:01 --> 01:04:01 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:04:01 --> 01:04:02 [SPEAKER_02]: We're really not the same.
01:04:02 --> 01:04:06 [SPEAKER_02]: When I was in high school, I would run to my phone or run to the bathroom to also check my phone.
01:04:06 --> 01:04:10 [SPEAKER_02]: But it would be, did the Mariners sign Robinson can out back in quarantine and they did.
01:04:10 --> 01:04:12 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, that's funny.
01:04:12 --> 01:04:12 [SPEAKER_01]: That's funny.
01:04:13 --> 01:04:14 [SPEAKER_03]: Last question for me, Johnny.
01:04:14 --> 01:04:14 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
01:04:14 --> 01:04:17 [SPEAKER_03]: One year from now, what are people going to be saying about you?
01:04:19 --> 01:04:25 [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to be saying that I'm a real power speed threat and a really exciting prospect.
01:04:25 --> 01:04:29 [SPEAKER_01]: I think the next year is going to be loud and I'm really going to perform.
01:04:30 --> 01:04:31 [SPEAKER_02]: What's your single best tool?
01:04:31 --> 01:04:32 [SPEAKER_02]: Final question.
01:04:33 --> 01:04:34 [SPEAKER_02]: In your mind, what's your best tool?
01:04:34 --> 01:04:35 [SPEAKER_02]: Best tool.
01:04:38 --> 01:04:39 [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say the speed.
01:04:40 --> 01:04:48 [SPEAKER_01]: I think honestly, though, coming back from the knee, I haven't been like the same player that I was, but I will, I'll get there.
01:04:48 --> 01:04:49 [SPEAKER_01]: It should take some time.
01:04:49 --> 01:04:53 [SPEAKER_01]: Like next year, I'm gonna be back with that stuff and play on my hair on fire.
01:04:54 --> 01:04:55 [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's at the speed.
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58 [SPEAKER_03]: Johnny, thanks for taking some time for us.
01:04:58 --> 01:05:02 [SPEAKER_03]: We're really looking forward to watching the rest of this season and like I said, one year from now.
01:05:02 --> 01:05:06 [SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully it's all healthy from here on out and we're super excited to watch you.
01:05:06 --> 01:05:07 [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for taking some time for us.
01:05:07 --> 01:05:08 [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks guys.
01:05:08 --> 01:05:08 [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for having me.
01:05:10 --> 01:05:11 [SPEAKER_02]: Man, that was a blast.
01:05:11 --> 01:05:22 [SPEAKER_02]: Be it up and ever it, sitting down with Johnny, getting to hear about, not just his recovery from the injury and how he's changed as a hitter, but all the stuff about the stock market and how passionity is about it.
01:05:22 --> 01:05:24 [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, I was fascinated.
01:05:24 --> 01:05:31 [SPEAKER_02]: I was fascinated listening to him talk about it and just how much knowledge he has about it for a kid that's not even twenty one years old.
01:05:31 --> 01:05:34 [SPEAKER_02]: I got to tell you, I'm sticking with this Johnny day trades nickname.
01:05:34 --> 01:05:36 [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you won't even buy into it.
01:05:36 --> 01:05:37 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sticking with it.
01:05:37 --> 01:05:37 [SPEAKER_02]: I might not.
01:05:38 --> 01:05:39 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a good thing.
01:05:39 --> 01:05:40 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm not.
01:05:40 --> 01:05:41 [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's a good nickname.
01:05:43 --> 01:05:44 [SPEAKER_02]: It'll it'll grow on you over time.
01:05:45 --> 01:05:45 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
01:05:45 --> 01:05:46 [SPEAKER_02]: Give it give it a few months.
01:05:47 --> 01:05:49 [SPEAKER_02]: Give it until he's absolutely crushing the ball.
01:05:49 --> 01:05:51 [SPEAKER_03]: Just what he was telling me about Tommy Listella, too, guys.
01:05:52 --> 01:05:52 [SPEAKER_03]: No.
01:05:53 --> 01:05:53 [SPEAKER_03]: Incorrect.
01:05:55 --> 01:05:55 [SPEAKER_03]: Incorrect.
01:05:55 --> 01:05:59 [SPEAKER_02]: That was not something that Johnny Farmello is not going to be Tommy Listella.
01:05:59 --> 01:05:59 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
01:06:00 --> 01:06:00 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
01:06:00 --> 01:06:00 [SPEAKER_02]: No.
01:06:02 --> 01:06:02 [SPEAKER_03]: No.
01:06:02 --> 01:06:03 [SPEAKER_03]: No.
01:06:03 --> 01:06:04 [SPEAKER_03]: No.
01:06:05 --> 01:06:06 [SPEAKER_03]: You didn't see this about eight though.
01:06:06 --> 01:06:06 [SPEAKER_03]: I'll give that to you.
01:06:07 --> 01:06:08 [SPEAKER_02]: That no, no.
01:06:09 --> 01:06:10 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sick with Johnny Day trades.
01:06:10 --> 01:06:10 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
