Part of the just Baseball Podcast Network, recording here on Monday, September fourth, And they weren't kidding, Lyle. When we finally realize we're back in a division race, the vibes get a little tense around here when the boys have a bad weekend. 00:01:29 Speaker 2: Well, especially when the games that favor you are starting to run out. We know that schedule at the end of the year is creeping up and creeping up and creeping up. Road trips are never easy, especially these long East Coast road trips. But that's our sub five hundred team. The Reds are solid, but not better than the Mariners. It feels like games you've got to win and they're not winning them right now. 00:01:53 Speaker 1: And maybe the most frustrating aspect of it too. And I sent you this stat yesterday that absolutely checks out. The Mariners since the start of the A's series have given up fourteen hits on two counts Mariner's pitchers. That is tied for the third most in baseball during that span. And I'd say over these last four games, the Mets series and then the opener against the Reds, which we were sitting here today recording after on a Monday, checks out. It's kind of annoying, and I'm glad it wasn't going crazy. 00:02:23 Speaker 2: They have not put guys away. You look at Brian Wu even today on Monday, he hit a bunch of two strike counts in those first couple innings and then it led to hit by pitches instead of strikeouts. 00:02:34 Speaker 1: And are we concerned? 00:02:37 Speaker 2: I don't know if concerns the right word, or the Mariner is still one of the better teams in baseball with the way they've played over the last month. 00:02:44 Speaker 1: Yes, now, Brian Wu, I was actually just directing that at him. Actually before my general question, I. 00:02:52 Speaker 2: Didn't love that his villa was down today. That wasn't a good sign. 00:02:56 Speaker 1: His villa was down, and the amount of just non competitive pitches he was throwing before, especially to that at Baptisteer, the three run homer, that really put the game out of reach where it's like non competitive pitch, non competitive pitch, non competitive pitch ninety three down the middle and then that one goes over the centerfield fence. So I was like, yeah, not loving that. 00:03:19 Speaker 2: Let's see what he does in his next start. I think that'll be more telling. 00:03:22 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. So Luke Weaver obviously didn't pitch over the weekend, not really in the Mets series, and you were we were wondering after Kirby got bounced on Sunday where he was while I was assuming that Luke Weaver was coming into this game, which he did eventually come into, and he was supposed to maybe piggyback Brian Wu. But I don't even think Scott Service and company thought Brian Wiu was going to go this short and look this bad today. So it's as of right now, it'll be ten days in a row Mariners have without an off day. Bullpen has already been taxed by three subpar starts in a row, Castillo, kurb Be, and now Brian Wu. And it doesn't get any easier. And this is where the pressure kind of mounts because the Division League sitting right now is a game. But I believe you are going to be tied technically with the Astros and the standings after today. They're taking care of the Rangers this afternoon, and your playoff buffers shrinking as well. So it's like buckle up, grab your bootstraps. 00:04:24 Speaker 2: It's gonna get intense this month of September. People are gonna have people are gonna be nervous, and people are gonna be kind of clenching their their jaws a little bit, if that's the right terminology, right, clenching your jaws. 00:04:37 Speaker 1: Clenching your jaws, yeah, I mean people. I mean people will usually say clenching something else, but you can clenching your jaws works. 00:04:45 Speaker 2: I do want to be fair to Brian Wu here. I mean, there's an emotional side to being a fan always. But the other side of this is he's really only had two true blow up starts this year, including today, and to be honest, he kind of salvaged it. Now they still loss, but his final line wasn't that different than Luis Castillo's was in the Mets series, so I don't want to hold those two to different standards. So it wasn't good what Brian WU did today, but it didn't end up being totally disastrous either, right. 00:05:14 Speaker 1: I think the Castillo and Kirby starts were more frustrating and more disappointing than Brian Wo today. And you also have to understand Brian Wu pitching in uncharted territory, as we highlighted in our last episode on Friday. Really, I mean, he's so far past what we expected him to throw innings wise this season, that everything from here on out is really unknown in his sense. So if he's just getting tired at this point, I mean, can you be too surprised? I don't really think. 00:05:40 Speaker 3: So, No, you can't. 00:05:42 Speaker 2: The problem is they are relying on him now because he is the fifth starter. He is expected to go every fifth day in a time where the Mariners need every win they can get. And we keep saying it, especially with the schedule the last two and a half weeks of the season coming up closer and closer. But the other side to it is you have to capped some level of expectation for Wu as well. 00:06:03 Speaker 1: Which is gonna make those other four starters that much more important and they're gonna have to shoulder that much more of the load. And it showed this weekend when two of those four guys aren't carrying their weight in the rotation, especially your two aces, the two guys we sat here on this podcast and said, okay, well who's starting Game one? And then they both go out versus the Mets and don't make a compelling case for that sense. So it's a balance, right, It's a bounce of what we'll see I was kind of disappointed in Castio and Kirby. Kirby mostly I'm just hoping he's still healthy, I guess because he got pushed back because he was sick, and well, he didn't pitch like he's sick. We'll talk a little bit about George Kirby here later on in this podcast. We do have some house cleaning things to clean up here. If you've been paying attention to our social media pages. I believe we mentioned it on this podcast before, but we'll reiterate it. We've partnered with Chasing Ace's Golf to give away some Mariners tickets. Three Mariners tickets to be exact.

Are we ready for our second housekeeping thing here? 00:09:12 Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm ready for a dog. Do you have your speech ready? 00:09:15 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna try to. 00:09:16 Speaker 1: Do like you're back in class right now. It's like you're standing in front of the classroom. Okay, mister Goldstein, ready for you to present your science project to the class. 00:09:26 Speaker 2: Except, as we talked about in our last speaker mind, I hated every single second of school, especially science where they no. 00:09:32 Speaker 1: Yeah, say, notice how I chose science? You didn't think I forgot that it was your worst subject. So I'm expected so you should have put that same level of preparation as you had to get ready for a science test into what you're about to pitch to the podcast listeners. 00:09:46 Speaker 2: The difference here is I actually care about this. This is important unlike science. 00:09:51 Speaker 1: I know, but it requires the same amount of effort for you to pass and continue. 00:09:56 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to channel my inn pat Riley here from Winning time. I've been watching a lot of time, but you have heard us mention this now a few times over the last month, that we are going to be out and active at the ballpark during Angel's Week for the final time that show Heo Tani comes to town before a free agency. We have talked about we're going to be handing out index cards. We are going to do that. We've talked about we're gonna get a chance going. We are going to do that. Now we want to sit here and just give a call to action to all of you guys. This may be the last chance you ever have as Mariners fans to give your voice, to show your voice, hang on to show show Heyo Tani. I'm really trying to nail this speech here. Can you tell I. 00:10:40 Speaker 3: Don't want to steal all over my words? 00:10:42 Speaker 2: Okay, this may be your last chance to try and sway show Heyo Tani to Seattle, and this is going to be your last chance as fans to let your voice be heard. So let me say this loud and clear. If you are a Mariners fan who even point zero zero zero zero zero one percent want sho hey o Tani in Seattle, get out to the ballpark this upcoming week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Get to all three games, and for every single at fact that he is up at the plate, you better be screaming and channing. Come to Seattle, Come to Seattle, Come to Seattle. I can promise you I'm gonna be at all three games doing it. I can promise you I'm going to be giving out a bunch of index cards to people doing it. And I can promise you I'm going to do everything in my part to make this happen, because you do not get a chance every other year to get the greatest player to ever play this game on your ball club. You don't get a chance like this, babe. Basically. Ever, they had one one six years ago, they fell short, and this may be their final chance ever because if Otani signed some ten plus year deal, he's not ever coming to Seattle. So let the voices be heard, Mariners fans why it should be here and why this city, this team, this fan base is where he should spend the rest of his career. So get out to the ballpark this week and let them hear it. Not for one at bat, not for two at bats, not for three at bats. I'm doing the lebron here every single at bat. Get loud and let them hear it. Let's go, let's go show. 00:12:14 Speaker 1: Hey, So where are you going to be? Where are you planning to be? I know you said you were going to be roaming? Which areas are you going to be roaming? 00:12:23 Speaker 3: I'm going to try to hit a lot of spots. 00:12:24 Speaker 4: Now. 00:12:24 Speaker 2: When we do these fan interviews, usually I go out to the pen because that's the age, demographic and type of people that usually are happy to be on social media, so I'll spend some time out there passing out the index cards, but I'm going to try to make my rounds. I want to make it all around the one hundred level concourse. I'll get up to the three hundred level concourse. Anybody who will take these index cards, I'm handing them out and spoiler, we haven't made them in printed them out yet. We are going to, but it's going to be along the lines of you better be chanting come to Seattle for show Heyo Tani every at bat this series. So I'm trying to spread the word as much as we Candy who will take one of these index cards, I'm handing them out. 00:13:03 Speaker 1: And if you want one, you can't find Lyle. You want to talk to Lyle dm us Please we try and respond to all of our dms. Dms are open. Please feel free slide in as the kids say. 00:13:14 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, feel free to send us as many dms as you want about these games this upcoming week because we are trying to promote it as much as we can. Again, let the voices be heard. If you're channing for show, Hey, every bat to come to Seattle. You think that's not going to make headlines across the baseball world. You think that's not going to be on MLB network, You think all these baseball accounts aren't going to be tweeting it out. 00:13:35 Speaker 3: They will be. 00:13:36 Speaker 2: And there's already a reputation for how loud and upbeat Seattle fans are you do something like this this week, Otani said he heard the chance once. You think he won't hear him ten to twelve times, Oh he will, Yes, he will. And I got to give a shout out here because remember when these champs started back during All Star Week, we DM the guy that actually started the chance, Zach Anders, and he said, we talked, we told the story a few weeks back. He actually lives overseas and he was just back for All Star weeks, so he's not going to be in town during this series. And we kind of DMed him and said, well, we'll carry it on here for you. We'll we'll even pick it up a notch if we want. Let's get it going all the abats and he was like hell yeah, like get it going, keep this thing going, do everything we can. So I do want a little bit give a little hat tip to to Zach Anders and say, we're gonna keep this going. We're gonna do everything we can. So I'm fired up about this week. In case you can't tell, I've been waiting years for this. 00:14:28 Speaker 1: And if you want to buy in even more of friends at simply Seattle use code Marine fifteen for fifteen percent off your order. Have a really nice come to Seattle show hey shirt that you can buy if you want one. So that'll that'll buy in all the excitement and height. 00:14:42 Speaker 3: Yes it will. 00:14:43 Speaker 2: Man, I can't wait. I want Showhy to hear it. Whether he signs here or not, and whether these chants even have point one percent of a decision factor into where he goes next year. It may, it may not, But at least give yourself the chance to sway up, because if you don't, then there's no impact anyway. At least give yourself the chance to let yourselves be hurt. 00:15:05 Speaker 1: I like it. 00:15:06 Speaker 4: I like it. 00:15:06 Speaker 1: Dog great speech? What great should I give you? Should I give you? I'll give you an A plus something you never got in science? How about that? 00:15:15 Speaker 3: I hope. So I worked hard on this. 00:15:16 Speaker 2: I put effort into it again, and casey can't tell, this is actually important. 00:15:22 Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to our Mariners' storylines up first. In our first storyline here, a couple of awards have been awarded to the Mariners this month. Not only did they set a franchise record for wins in a month, but huge shocker Julio Rodriguez one American League Player of the Month. Maybe a little bit more surprising to the effect of us Andre's Munos One American League Reliever of the Month. How about that? 00:15:51 Speaker 2: Do you want to start with Julio or Muno's You take your Let's. 00:15:54 Speaker 1: Just knock Julio out. Yeah, he's the obvious. 00:15:56 Speaker 3: One, Okay. 00:15:58 Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez for the month slashed four twenty nine so four to twenty nine average, four to seventy four on base, seven to twenty four slug. That's an eleven ninety seven oh ps two thirty one WRC plus, so one hundred and thirty one percent above league average for the month with seven homers and by the way, simple stat but it stands out forty five hits for the month forty five. We've detailed it all month long, but what an unbelievable month. 00:16:27 Speaker 1: So like, look at all these stats. He led the American League in this month. He led in batting average, on base percentage, slugging doubles, RBIs, steals, and f wour. I think that usually ends up winning you an award. The two and a half wins above replacement is actually pretty bonkers, to be honest, that might be the most the craziest thing of all. Obviously takes into account his defense as well, but it has turned it from a disappointing Julio Rodriguez season where we're at the beginning of the month, we're just throwing out. Man, he's a prety good stats for a down season to now where it's like, oh, well, his number is actually kind of better than they were last year. And oh, by the way, with his home run today, he becomes the first player in Major League baseball history to have a twenty five to twenty five season. That's twenty five homers twenty five steals in each of his first two full major league seasons. That's quite an accomplishment for someone who's only twenty two years old. 00:17:24 Speaker 2: How high can his ceiling go. I'm not crazy to say at some point in his career he could have some nine or ten more seasons, right. 00:17:33 Speaker 1: No, you're not crazy. I think the thing that really pushed him over the top for this award, though, was his idea for the Run DMC track suits going to New York. Now, of course the vibes didn't translate onto the field, but they I gotta say, they looked pretty slick. They looked pretty sick in the clubhouse and Wednesday after the game. 00:17:52 Speaker 2: They were awesome. And I can't get over Scott's Service's luck while wearing him. That was what put it over the top. 00:17:59 Speaker 1: Or that he got Red Run to send a video to Julio. 00:18:03 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the better Scott's Service? Look him in the run DMC outfit or him with the Edwin Diaz haircut in twenty eighteen after Eddie saved the fifty games. 00:18:12 Speaker 1: I think it's in the the with the jumpsuit. 00:18:15 Speaker 3: Okay, so we're staying with the current time. 00:18:18 Speaker 1: You're telling me a Midwest white man is supposed to like fit that fit that like that like outfit. 00:18:26 Speaker 2: Like no, Yeah, that was that was great. I mean, I love that Scott's always into this stuff. He's always we hear that he's a player's coach all the time. And you hear what you see why players love him because he buys into fun stuff like this, so it's it's fun and and and hat tip to Julio for orchestrating this whole thing, because maybe his second greatest accomplishment was winning Player of the Month, with the top being getting the whole team to dress like run DMC and buying the whole club outfits. 00:18:56 Speaker 1: I gotta agree, Okay, let's get to Munos now, because I think this is a bit more of a talking point. Julio's was obvious. We thought he was gonna win American League Player of the Month. Gonna be honest, Slough did not think Andres Munials was gonna win American League Reliever of the Month. And then but we sit here today and looked that he led the American League in saves during the month of August. He was tied for the lead in f war in August, he had a one to five to nine, twenty strikeouts and seven walks, So overall like a really good month for Andres Munyals. But I sure hell didn't think so during the month. 00:19:33 Speaker 2: I didn't think he was gonna win the award either. But then once he won it, and I actually looked, oh, what of his numbers been in the month of August and you say, oh, yeah, he had a good month. It just doesn't always feel that way because he got himself into some sticky situations late in ball games. There were a couple of times where he cocked up a lead or two even though he only gave up one run in those situations where relievers give up runs, even the best ones like Munho's. But all in all, he had a really good month. I think this was the best month Andres Munos has ever had. No you know, do I think he had a good month. 00:20:05 Speaker 4: I do. 00:20:06 Speaker 1: I think it's his fifth best month as a Mariner. That's what I went and I looked, because I was like, no, I could square like, even though this is his first American League Reliever of the Month award, I know he's had better months than this. Let's like, let's get some context. First of all, this month actually is the highest on base percent she's allowed in a full month this season. Fun fact three twelve. That's the highest in any full month he's had this season, which kind of checks out as we saw, right because he allowed a lot of base runners. Second of all, to compare to some of the other great months he's had as a Mariner. His whip this month base so base runners per inning was one point three. His whip in June, July, August, September of last year was oh seven to five, O four to one, seven ohs nine seven to three, and five eight three, significantly better than what he put up this month, and those four months I would all stack up above the current month that he had this year, even if he allowed one or two more earned runs those months. I thought he was just we've said on this podcast, who's better reliever? 00:21:11 Speaker 4: Last year? Flat out? He was. 00:21:14 Speaker 2: So you talked about this a little bit before we started recording. But a part of the reason he probably won the award is because he racked up saves. He wasn't racking up saves last year. He wasn't racking up as many early on this year because they had Paul Seawald. But now that he is actually closing games, I think that affects voters a little bit more. 00:21:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, you know, you know, they love saves even though saves are just like it's situational instead of who's actually been the best reliever. So I think Andres Muno should turn around and thank Paul Seawald for this award as well, because if Paul Seawald didn't get traded, then Andres Munos, if he puts up the same stat line, does not win this award. 00:21:52 Speaker 2: But he still did win it, and again he still had a good month. And oh, by the way, he did all this basically without having his slider. So if this is a quote unquote down month in the eyes of Mariner fans for Andre's Munos, then let's see what he does in a good month, because I think there's a real world he could turn around in September and have a really sharp month, especially if he gets that slider back. The question is does he get the slider back because it's been a little hit or missless year. 00:22:18 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have to see. I don't want to make it sound like we're trashing on Andres. I just thought there were some situations he could have been better in in the month of August. But then after all of this, he Mariners go twenty one and six in the month of August, and Andres Munos saves nine games, has a great month overall. So in the end, I think we're just kind of cherry picking at this point. 00:22:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've talked about it on the pod too, Andres Munho's just as a human being is amazing. You will not find many big leaguers nicer than that dude. So I'm always rooting for him. I'm rooting for him now. I think I've said some nice things about him because he's won this award by voters. He was the best reliever the American League this month and he's got the crown to show it. 00:23:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, so good job, Bonders, Congratulations, and I think these two awards are the perfect capper on what was the best month. The Mariners baseball history, Player of the Month, Reliever of the Month, I would say, well, they were the probably the American League team of the month, maybe not the Major League Baseball team of the month that somehow still will go to the Dodgers, who somehow won multiple more games than the Mariners did in that month. That's a pretty good, pretty good, si pretty good month for the Dodgers, and even more indication for you to go to Chasing Ace's Golf and bid for those tickets for the sixteenth because it's gonna it's high quality baseball. 00:23:46 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you.

Going into his start on Sunday, these were his numbers against teams with a winning record. He had a one eighty one ER eighty six whip and was striking out just over nine and a half batters per nine. Really good against teams with a losing record this year for eighty one ERA one twenty whip and just over six and a half strikeouts per nine, with just about equal innings thrown on each side of this coin. What in the world is going on with that? 00:26:44 Speaker 1: I have some theories. First theory, which is more funny. Does he just get bored? 00:26:51 Speaker 2: Well, I would hope not, because you still need to win those games against the bad teams. 00:26:57 Speaker 1: Well, that's like, that's my joking theory. I have a real theory though, because if you take a look at this, there's no real correlation between the bad teams he's facing. It's like, okay, so say all the bad teams he's facing are like at least very elite contact oriented teams who don't strike out a bunch, don't walk a lot, and hit balls in the strike zone. Really well, well that's not really the case. I mean, you can make that the case the Royals. The Royals still do though, strike out a very decent amount. They're in the bottom ten of or sorry, in the bottom fifteen of strikeouts. But the other two teams that you know, the notable blow up appearances he's had, I mean, he struggled against the Tigers this year, he struggled against the Pirates at home on a Frinday night. Those are all in the bottom fifteen percentage and strikeout rate. So those aren't exactly like contact oriented teams. It's not like running into hot offensive teams like the Pirates, Royals, Tigers are all in the bottom ten in like isolated power like in terms of like a power surge, like flukey home runs. That's not the case, and it's not the the case of again, like running into good offensive teams. All these teams that he struggled against, like a struggling outing against the Royals, against the Tigers, against the Pirates, those are all bottom five offenses by WRC plus, and yet they had a lot of success against the guy people who are gonna give cy Young votes to this year. Now, why is that? So? I have a theory and that it's that this is the case of George Kirby throwing too many strikes in this case, does that sound crazy? 00:28:35 Speaker 2: I don't know if it sounds crazy. Keep going, trying sales, pitch me on this. 00:28:39 Speaker 1: So if you think about this, So, George Kirby's greatest asset is that he throws a lot of strikes. But what helps a struggling offense more than anything, it's getting pitches to hit, and the best pitches to hit are always in the strike zund George Kirby throws more pitches in the strike zone than most pitchers in baseball, and as we know, he's not really a strikeout artist. For example, he'll have outings where he's gonna get some punch outs, but overall, his fifth percentages in the twenty six percentile. His strikeout rate is right in the middle of baseball at the forty six percentile. That's why location is so important to him. But if he's just throwing a bunch of strikes and not getting a lot of whiffs like sometimes can happen with his stuff, that might help worst teams hit him. So the Pirates, the Royals, and the Tigers, who are not good offensive teams, suddenly get a pitcher who's just gonna fill up the strike zone and eventually some of their swings are gonna connect, because those are the best pitches to hit, and he likes throwing fastballs, and fastballs in the zone are usually the best pitches to hit, no matter who throws them. 00:29:45 Speaker 2: My only counter to this, My only counter to this is why then does he still thrive against better offenses in baseball when he still isn't generating swinging This. 00:29:56 Speaker 1: Because there's a difference between filling up the strike zone been throwing quality strikes in the strike zone. You can throw a bunch of pitches on the edge and throw quality strikes, or you can throw a bunch of pitches that catch a lot of plate and get hit really well. Which is why I think that. And if you think it's like, okay, well, he's a guy who has four pitches, throws up to ninety eight, and has the best command in baseball, you could argue, right, that's why he succeeds against good teams, which is I think a little bit easier to sales pitch than what I originally pitch. You of why he's struggling. An example I have for you on why quality strikes matter so much. Eight seventeen against the Royals. That was the start in Kansas City. He threw seventy two point nine percent of his pitches in the strike zone. Actually, sorry, those seventy two point nine percent fastballs seventy five percent for off speed pitches. Those two marks that he threw were highest. That that was a high mark of fastballs and off speed pitches. He's thrown in the strike zone in a game this season, and coincidentally, a more contact oriented team but still sort of bottom offense like the Kansas City Royals, tend to hit those pitches more because he did not get an end zone whiff on his fastball that an entire game. So threw a bunch of pitches in the strike zone, but there were not the most quality pitches, so they get hit a little bit more. So that's it. That was a little bit of a long winded answer, but in short, he sometimes throws too many strikes and they're not quality strikes and then gets hit. 00:31:34 Speaker 2: I think his wiff rate is just going to have to continue to build up as this time when the big leagues goes on, because if there's any room for improvement for George Kirby, even though he's already so talented and phenomenal as it is, he could miss some more bats, and again, some of these more struggling offenses, it gives them more chances to hit. Like you're outlining here now, I still scratch my head at why the difference is this drastic. Why, for example, he'll go out and throw nine shutout innings against the or By Record, the best team in the American League, but then he'll go out and struggle against the Royals, against the Pirates, against the Tigers. 00:32:08 Speaker 3: It's just a head scratcher. 00:32:10 Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, and I do agree with some of it that maybe all of the strikes begin to add up, But it's still is odd that against teams that are so much better, he's putting up an era of sub two. I don't know, it's just one of those weird things to me. Maybe it's one of those things you can't quantify and it doesn't make sense. It's just one of those things that happens. 00:32:31 Speaker 1: Maybe George Kirby's really trying to be like James Shields and earn a nickname like Big Game George. But then against all the other teams, it just doesn't matter. 00:32:39 Speaker 2: To him maybe, And you look at the outing against the Astros, you look at the outing against the Orioles, you look at his numbers against some of the other high quality teams this year, and he just buzz saws right through him. But then some of these other starts, it doesn't happen. I will say, to be fair, I have this Pirate start outlined on our show prep including which was his worst downing of the season by runs, where he gave up seven runs against the Pirates and four and two thirds innings pitched. If you remember that game. I'm still almost positive the balls were juice that night, because balls were flying out of the park left and right in Seattle that day. But yeah, I don't know. I'll be interested to see how this faars even next year moving forward if this continues. But the good news for Kirby, and if you happen to believe in these splits, is he's not going to have many more starts against bad teams. He's going to be facing quality teams the rest of the way. So maybe that's good news for him. 00:33:34 Speaker 1: So maybe Curry Kirby when he saw that he was going to get a matchup against the A's last week and a night that you earned yourself a lifetime ban from attending Monday through Thursday t Mobile Park baseball games. Was that he realized, well, I might get blown up against these guys, so I'm actually gonna try and face a better opponent on the weekend, which didn't work. Again, it actually kind of went against against his splits a little bit more when he only threw three innings on on Sunday. So I don't know, maybe maybe thought about. 00:34:08 Speaker 2: It, well, then maybe I shouldn't be banned from the park. If he purposely tried to sit out of that game, then it's not my fault. That was a self made decision. 00:34:16 Speaker 1: Well, last they checked, George wasn't the only person who got scratched that night. 00:34:21 Speaker 3: That part is fair. 00:34:23 Speaker 1: Yeah h hm, TVD Yeah, okay, so you keep telling yourself that. 00:34:30 Speaker 2: Before we get to our interview with Type, we want to talk to you about a brand new sponsor of ours, and one we're really excited about.

We'll host a little Marine Layer pod meet and greet. 00:35:41 Speaker 4: I think that. 00:35:41 Speaker 1: Sounds great, that sounds sounds good. Well, I'm like I'm so excited that we got this interview with ty Pete. I'm very happy about not only getting it, but then talking to him. The expectations I had for this interview got blown out of the water within the first five minutes. 00:36:00 Speaker 4: Tie. 00:36:01 Speaker 1: He's barely eighteen years old, but he gave us so much detail, so much personality, so much appreciation for baseball and other things that like, when we're done, we're like, that was amazing, and we really appreciate Tie for taking some time to come on with us and talk a little bit about his baseball career and his life, which you know, he gets some opportunity to do that since he's a first round pick, but now he's a minor league baseball player. He's got a grind and he made some time for us. 00:36:31 Speaker 2: He's our guy, now that's fair to say, right like type. 00:36:33 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is our guy. He is our guy, our number He is our number one prospect in the Mariners organization. 00:36:40 Speaker 3: Correct. 00:36:41 Speaker 2: And again, since we haven't had that many players on yet, and he is not only one of the first players that we've had on this show, but certainly the most high profile player we've had on this show. You'll see us hyping him up going forward. I mean when he goes off down in Modesto or wherever he's at starting next year. Oh, we'll be retweeting his highlight and quote tweeting and just hype, just gassing them up every chance we get, because, like I said, he was seriously awesome. I hope you guys enjoy this conversation. I know we certainly did in the time we got to talk to him. And by the way, stay tuned for this type has a YouTube channel, so if you're a Mariners fan or just a baseball fan out there, then enjoys player content on YouTube, go follow Type Pete. We'll plug his channel in the show description and on YouTube by the way too, so you guys can go check it out. He's only done a couple of videos so far, but he talked about he's gonna plan to do a lot more and he gets into what he wants that to look like. So really, we win a million different ways in this conversation. But let's not hold you up any longer because he was so much fun. 00:37:42 Speaker 4: To have on. 00:37:43 Speaker 2: And one more quick note, we did this interview with Ty the day after he had the two Grand Slam game down in Modesto. So just for timesake and for your guys reference, that's when we recorded it. 00:37:54 Speaker 1: Let's get to our interview now with Maritor's first round pick. Type. 00:38:01 Speaker 2: All right, we've got Ty Pete on with us Mariner's twenty twenty three first round pick. Now of the Madesto Nuts. Tough day at the plate yesterday, Ty, I mean, what you can't do any better? 00:38:12 Speaker 4: No, yesterday? It was pretty cool. It was definitely an experience. 00:38:16 Speaker 6: But I was seeing the well so you see it, Well, all you gotta do is seatball, hit ball. 00:38:23 Speaker 1: I think I reddit somewhere. Was that your your first career two homer game? Yeah? 00:38:29 Speaker 4: I thought about it more. 00:38:30 Speaker 6: And like when I was like six, I had like like five and one tournament, but I think it was like one each game. So that was like my first two runder un And I was thinking about that. I was like, you know, I've never hit two home runs in a game. And actually before I was talking to Jared Sunstrom. I was like, dude, like, I'm never home run like off of like a lefty curveball. 00:38:48 Speaker 4: The guy don't think I ever had, And he was like bro, and I was like yeah. And then like an hour later. 00:38:56 Speaker 1: Okay, so you made sure to look at that second one too. Do you think your bath flip was good enough? 00:39:01 Speaker 4: I didn't. 00:39:01 Speaker 6: I didn't think it was gone as soon as I hit it, But I think, like, uh, I like, I don't know, maybe like a second after I made contact, I was like, oh, that's gone, that's got a chance. 00:39:11 Speaker 4: But it was more of like a reaction thing. Also, like I. 00:39:14 Speaker 6: Started opening up a little bit too early, So that's why I kind of came out of the box a little open. But the first one I knew was gone, first one I knew was gone. 00:39:21 Speaker 1: You did do a bit of like a semi sosa hot though. 00:39:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, a little little Sami. 00:39:25 Speaker 6: So I've been I've been watching, Uh, I've been watching some some highlights lately. 00:39:29 Speaker 4: I know what to do. 00:39:31 Speaker 1: They're so like on high scores, there's obviously not as much television, I would say quality video on some of your home runs, and don't get to look at you as much, like what is your your go to when you're admiring a home run? 00:39:44 Speaker 6: I'm more of usually usually I pulled my home run, so I'm more of a pull it back at the stance, grab the barrel to the barrel aside. 00:39:55 Speaker 4: That's where. 00:39:56 Speaker 6: But I like to talk to the dugout as soon as I hit it. So I and in high school, my doug, I was right next to the next to the plate, So after I hit, when I knew it was gone, I would I would go to them, you know, hype them up and get our get our team, get some energy gone. 00:40:11 Speaker 3: How made you hit? In high school they. 00:40:14 Speaker 4: Got twelve, it was eleven. I think it was twelve. 00:40:18 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty good number. 00:40:21 Speaker 2: I know you're a guy that talks about you want baseball to be fine. You want to help make the game fun for you. How do you feel like you can do that as you kind of start your pro career here right? 00:40:34 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm definitely. I'm all. 00:40:35 Speaker 6: I'm all about fun, excitement. I mean, playing playing baseball is kind of like it's my job now. So being able to be able to do what I love, have some joy behind it, have some excitement. I really do enjoy playing it, and I think passing that down, showing the fans, showing these kids that you know, you can have fun while playing. It's not it's not all business, and it's getting it's starting to more, especially with these fans, Like I've never played in front of big fans. 00:41:04 Speaker 4: Other than Little League World Series, But I think now that. 00:41:08 Speaker 6: I'm starting to play in front of fans, I'm starting playing in front of young young kids. 00:41:12 Speaker 4: I remember. 00:41:13 Speaker 6: I remember when I was young and I was watching these guys play, I would watch everything they do. So having kids doing the same thing for me watching me play, I want to show them like kind of a good example and just so like, hey, you can have fun and play. 00:41:24 Speaker 4: Sports while while like still doing your job and still getting things done. 00:41:29 Speaker 1: Did you have love Lee Wayne and high school to do some more fun things? I know high school baseball as two former high school baseball players ourselves, it can be a little stricter on that sense. Were you guys allowed to be a little bit more expressive in high school? 00:41:43 Speaker 6: I think it just kind of depends on what, like I guess, depends on your coach, and depends on really a lot of things your organization you play in. 00:41:52 Speaker 4: But I'd say high school. My high school coaches chill. He liked having all the energy, and he liked us being kind of lose playing. 00:42:00 Speaker 6: I'm playing, like playing with passion instead of kind of cutthroat stuff. But you know, my my high school coach kind of just let me play and kind of let the whole team build off of that and build off of the emotions we had. But we were a close team, so we were all very like, very good friends. 00:42:18 Speaker 4: Our relationship or connections were really well good chemistry. 00:42:22 Speaker 1: So overall, Tie, You're now about a month and a half into being a pro. How is it settling in? 00:42:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess it's settling pretty well, just as a young kid. 00:42:33 Speaker 4: I'm also like a couple of weeks into being eighteen. 00:42:35 Speaker 6: But being like being a young kid out here kind of by myself, that's nothing. Nothing I've been worried about. I've enjoyed living by myself. I enjoyed, you know, being with my friends, kind of having the freedom. At the same time being having a job out here. 00:42:53 Speaker 4: It's different. 00:42:54 Speaker 6: But I mean, my dad's baseball, so I love doing and going going to the facility every day. It's almost like it's almost like nothing's changed, except I'm just getting a little more perks than I had before. 00:43:06 Speaker 2: Okay, we wanted to talk a little bit of baseball with you, and then we've got some fun stuff on the back half of this. But just as you went through some of the draft process, and as you were working your way through getting up to the draft, when you went through some of these meetings, especially with the Mariners, what did you take away after sitting down with those guys? 00:43:23 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Mariners. 00:43:24 Speaker 6: So I had a little little notes for myself just afterwards, writing down all like kind of what happened, who was there, had the conversation go, and overall the Mariners. 00:43:35 Speaker 4: The Mariners were my favorite teams especially. 00:43:38 Speaker 6: Yeah, I just felt like I was a part of a bigger family and it really it really proved itself afterwards I got after the draft, I have all these players and staff members, coaches reaching out to me, congratulating me, wishing they'd seen me soon, excited to play with me. And I just think that's like the most important part is just establishing these beaching these connections with all these people. It was cool, just you know, as a young kid s you watch these guys on TV and then realize you know, they're they're texting you congratulations, and it's it was unbelievable. Just a moment, a moment that really set said pretty well in my heart, just knowing like you know, I'm welcomed here and it was just we. 00:44:19 Speaker 4: We I clicked me Scott, Scott's my boy. 00:44:23 Speaker 6: We we talked about, uh, just my plate appearances, talked about my approach, my DEFENSI approach, how how I want to change things, and I just think that's I think it was. 00:44:35 Speaker 4: I think it was great. So I wrote them down as a ten out of ten. 00:44:39 Speaker 1: And you get to take the annual trip to T Mobile Park. Is all the first round pickskets, you get to take batting practice, you get to suit up, you get to meet all the players. What was your favorite part of that? 00:44:50 Speaker 6: Uh? 00:44:50 Speaker 4: My, my favorite part is always talking to fans. 00:44:54 Speaker 6: You know, it's it was cool hitting VP there, it's cool ten ground balls, but it was cool doing all this stuff. But I think it was more cool just kind of meeting all the fans, signing autograph taking pictures afterwards. After the game, we were waiting for Uber and just all the people coming up to me, knowing who I was, asking for pictures and autographs. I love that and I love giving back to them. I love talking to them, telling them how this process goes. Because when I when I was a kid, I like to go back to that because when I was a kid. I was watching these guys wondering how to get there and wondering what it's like. That's why, that's why I've been making videos. I've been kind of documenting my whole my whole process, just so so people can understand, like what's happening and how it works. 00:45:38 Speaker 2: Okay, you're talking about making videos. I want to put a pin in that. But one more question I had before that is who'd you get to meet when you were there in Seattle at least players wise. 00:45:48 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've basically met the whole team. The first person I met was it was JP Crawford, I met Kyler Raley type France, Jared Kelnick, and then walking back to the locker room is when I met Julio Rodriguez. He was kind of just like walking like it's kind of just walking in the hallway and I was like yo, and he was like he like fluting his hand out. He's like, I'm Julio, That's all he said. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know. 00:46:18 Speaker 4: And then she's like, come come with me, So then I like I went with him. 00:46:22 Speaker 6: We went to batt cages, then went back to the training room, and then eventually I met kind of the rest of the players, tay Oscar Hernandez, but I think the coolest one kind of I sat down and talked to the Colton long and I sat down for I was like, it was like thirty minutes. We kind of just like I talked to him about through a lot of things, through the process, through like what was like getting traded, what is like kind of getting to the process that moment. So that was really cool, just kind of getting a bigger understanding of what happens. But meet all those guys the pictures too. I met Logan Gilbert he texted me which is that was that was pretty cool. So just that whole team, Like it felt like I played there already. 00:47:04 Speaker 2: So you can experience it firsthand now, I mean just as two people who have done some stuff in the media. We see it from Afar, but you've kind of gotten to see it as a player. Not only are these guys playing really well right now, but it seems like it's a really really easy group of guys to root for too, which is why I feel like a lot of people are attached to them and connected to them. 00:47:20 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:47:21 Speaker 6: No, they're playing like stupid good Like we have TVs on in our locker room, we see them playing and obviously I get all the notifications on you know, they win another game or they sweeped another team. So that's it's cool just seeing like all of us kind of coming together and we're all winning games at every affiliate. So that's pretty cool. 00:47:44 Speaker 2: Okay, I did want to circle back to you making videos because you're one of very few baseball players that has started a YouTube channel is doing content, and for whatever it's worth, I think way more players should be doing that because I'll tell you what, fans eat that stuff up. You look at the handful of baseball players are doing that stuff. Fans absolutely love it, seeing all the behind the scenes stuff, seeing what you're doing in your in your daily basis. But how did you start to think to yourself, oh, this is something I want to do and pursue because you started it back in high school. 00:48:13 Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's like that's things. This is the thing that kind of no one really knows about me. But like I'm a technology free like as as a kid, I always I always made videos. I'm sure there's videos out there and they're like some random name that I made up, Like tons of videos me. Me and one of my best friends when I was a kid, we would make a lot of YouTube videos and then we would I love editing, so I would edit them and post them like it would get like a view, maybe I would have like a name under it. 00:48:44 Speaker 4: But I just learned doing all that stuff and playing and all it all sorts out from playing video games. 00:48:48 Speaker 6: I play a lot, and I was thinking like, hey, maybe I should start start playing video games on camera and then you know, these guys can ask me questions behind the scenes. But then I was like, you know what, I might as well make a couple of videos going like someing like so they can visually see what's happening instead of me just kind of telling them how it goes. 00:49:06 Speaker 4: But I really need to keep it going. 00:49:07 Speaker 6: Like I stopped doing it for a while because I was like, like, there's nothing really to record up here. It's kind of like kind of like the same repetitive thing every day. But and I've already made like two day in the life, which which I think were pretty cool. Like it's kind of like. 00:49:21 Speaker 4: It was easy. 00:49:22 Speaker 6: It was so easy on my part because it was just I had to record what I was doing that day. But I found it like everyone loved it, so I was like, man, maybe I should make another one. 00:49:31 Speaker 4: So I might. 00:49:32 Speaker 6: I might vlog like another day where uh in the off season where I'm like kind of I'm getting my car and I'm going to hit and all that, all that type of stuff. But it's been it's been pretty fun. I've just always been a technology nerd, but it's it's always been in me. 00:49:48 Speaker 1: Are you bigger? Are you fan of longer YouTube vlogs or do you like the short ones you get on TikTok as well, like sixty seconds? Say, if you want to do something every day, there are a lot of very popular channels on tik talk on Instagram where people literally just document their day, even if they're doing the same thing every day. I mean, people eat that stuff up. There's nothing that a little bit of music and good editing can't fix. 00:50:09 Speaker 4: So right, right, I need to work on that. I don't. 00:50:12 Speaker 6: I honestly don't even know how to compress all I do in the day in like sixty seconds. So once I get that figured out, it's done, it's over. 00:50:19 Speaker 1: So you're entirely self taught. 00:50:22 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I literally just get I just get my computer open up and open up like an editing song. 00:50:28 Speaker 4: From like all right, hey, what what do I do? 00:50:32 Speaker 1: Was there one one YouTube channel, one influencer, one something that was your inspiration behind this is like, Oh, that's that's pretty cool. 00:50:44 Speaker 4: I think it's like I guess it's not just one, not really. 00:50:49 Speaker 6: I watch a ton of YouTube, but like nothing behind like no like similar baseball YouTubers that like do stuff or kind of sports related stuff. I guess kind of like the day in the last I watched. I watched a couple by Dockery, he's like a football player. But YouTube mostly I just watched like golf and uh and I watch your friend Colle as a video game guy. But other than that, like I don't really watch. I don't really watch like kind of inspirational stuff. 00:51:16 Speaker 2: There's two things I took away from watching your YouTube videos. One sounds like you're a J. Cole fan because you wake up in one of them and you said, uh, what first things first reci peace uncle Phil. 00:51:26 Speaker 3: And then you get. 00:51:27 Speaker 2: In the shower you got no, you got no role models playing. So it's like, oh, this guy's a J. Cole fan, isn't he. 00:51:33 Speaker 4: Doug. 00:51:33 Speaker 6: I am like the biggest J cole fan, Like it's unbelievable, like he's he's the goat. I mean, I'll argue that with anybody, but it's it's crazy because I didn't realize how big of a fan. 00:51:43 Speaker 4: I was until like one of my friends was like, dude, I'm playing J. Cole song. 00:51:46 Speaker 6: Was like it was like first second of any song, like any album, any song. I know it like a word for word every song, but it's it's crazy. I'm a huge Jake Cole fan. My mom my mom for my twelfth birthday, twelfth, he was my fifteenth, fifteenth birthday, she got me tickets to a concert, to his own off season concert, and that was my first concert I've been to. 00:52:09 Speaker 4: And yeah, I'm a huge J. Cole fan. Though that's artist, yeah. 00:52:14 Speaker 6: Number one, well of all of all time. My top artist of all times is probably Michael Jackson. I'm a I'm a big R and B guy. I'm not really more of like a rap but it's it's funny I say that because I know a lot of rap songs, but I'm by myself listening. I probably listen to R and B ushered Michael Jackson. Uh, those guys, those are my like those are my top two, but j cole Jacoles number one. 00:52:42 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you come from a state with a loaded, I mean loaded list of artists. 00:52:48 Speaker 6: Tons and tons of tons of artists. Like I know, I know a bunch of I know a bunch of songs. I think I know if a song is even graised like the top one thousand, I probably know it. 00:53:00 Speaker 2: The other thing I took away from watching your YouTube videos was what made you get rid of the blonde hair? 00:53:06 Speaker 4: Yeah? I want to go back to my natural hair. Actually I look back. 00:53:10 Speaker 6: I saw a picture the other day and I was like, God, why, Like I never should say and if I didn't, because I had to, I had to like pick it out and start all over again, because like when you have to, because I had to diet back black from my natural hair color because I had to get the bleach out and it like killed my hair. But I should have never went blonde. I don't regret that. 00:53:32 Speaker 1: I have one more well, I actually might have more than one. But related to your YouTube, like, where do you find all the time to edit all this stuff? I mean you're training to be a first round pick in the Major League Baseball draft. You have school I'm sure you have travel ball to do. When do you find time to actually sit down and edit some of this stuff together? 00:53:54 Speaker 6: Yeah, I get it done, like, I get it done fast. 00:53:57 Speaker 4: And I edited that video. 00:54:01 Speaker 6: I think I'm pretty sure I did it on my phone. That first one I made was not that was not my like like I didn't like that video. I just like I just got it out and I was like, oh, it's. 00:54:10 Speaker 4: Not too bad. 00:54:10 Speaker 6: But the second one I really tried, and I think I was at the combine. I actually edited when I was at the combine, and I got it done like two hours, maybe three hours, and I kind of just did it in my bed. We we had like I had like two meetings that day and I was like, you know what, I'm gonna start editing now and then planes the plane. 00:54:29 Speaker 4: I got it done. But usually we have a lot of downtime. 00:54:32 Speaker 6: Right now, today's my day off. I just got back from golfing and then yeah, so today's my day off. Usually we don't have much downtime like normal now like normal days of the week not anymore. But I just kind of come home, play play the show, and go to bed. 00:54:48 Speaker 1: Second off, think of this. Have you seen like the Julio Rodriguez digital show the Mariners put on when he was a prospect. 00:54:55 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:54:55 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I started I was gonna start watching those because my my manager was like, hey, you know makes videos too, right, And I was like, oh, So then I like started looking at him, was like, oh, this guy. 00:55:06 Speaker 4: Really does make so I might start getting a bunch of inspiration off of that. But he actually he actually DMed. 00:55:11 Speaker 6: Me yesterday about about my performance yesterday. 00:55:16 Speaker 4: That's pretty cool. 00:55:17 Speaker 1: Nice, Well, you should. You should pitch the Mariners that you want to do that if you like, if you actually want to not even just you making videos, but putting your face on the Big League's account to do prospect videos because people loved that you talk to other guys that you're down there in the system with. I mean, that's a rare door open to guys they don't get only to hear about. 00:55:37 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna start doing that because I looked at I actually looked at YouTube yesterday and I was like, oh my god, people are subscribing. 00:55:45 Speaker 4: Like I had no idea. I was like, oh, maybe I should actually start doing this. I thought about that. I was like, I should start recording something. 00:55:51 Speaker 6: I just ideas don't come to my head that often like ideas will, and I'm just like, yeah, so I'm gonna start going through with them. 00:55:59 Speaker 4: It'd be pretty. 00:56:02 Speaker 2: I'm going to guess whatever ideas you have, they're probably good ideas, or at least we'll put it like this, they're not bad ideas because anything you're doing, especially as a player, like people always want to see it. So I'm sure any ideas you have would be cool. But so when you started editing videos, this was my last YouTube question I had for you. 00:56:18 Speaker 3: How old were you? 00:56:19 Speaker 2: Because I one of the things I saw from watching your videos was, oh, I'm you were like, I'm going to edit this, where some people like hire somebody to edit their videos, and you're doing it all on your own. 00:56:28 Speaker 3: So you must have learned from somewhat of a young age. 00:56:30 Speaker 6: So just like at a young age, I've always been a huge computer guy. 00:56:34 Speaker 4: I would sit in my room out as videos I stole my mom. 00:56:37 Speaker 6: My mom would love it, and so I think that's kind of where I got my love for it, and I've been doing it ever since. 00:56:43 Speaker 4: I love editing video. You know, if people send me videos, I'll edit them for them. 00:56:48 Speaker 2: I mean power to you, because I'll tell you what it took us a long time to learn. Like I remember the first time I opened up Premiere Pro, which I guess was back when we were in college. I looked at it and it was like, this thing looks like driving, like flying a rocket ship, Like how ya do this? 00:57:01 Speaker 4: Now? Sometimes I'm like what did that? Like what did I just do? 00:57:04 Speaker 6: Or like I would have one time. I clearly remember one time I wanted to just quit. I had like finished this whole video and then I think I accidentally pressed like shift and I clicked on it and I had all of them and I backspaced it and I was like no, and then my computer died. And after that, like I'll never I didn't even touch that project. I think I just threw it away, so mad, I. 00:57:28 Speaker 2: Guess that's welcome to editing. I feel like everybody who's ever edited a video has some story like. 00:57:32 Speaker 4: That, right. I don't even I don't even think that was possible. I don't even know how. 00:57:35 Speaker 6: I like, I clicked on all of them at the same time, but I assume my computer died. I just like looked at my computer. 00:57:42 Speaker 4: I was just like, dude, dog. 00:57:46 Speaker 3: I know you said you. 00:57:48 Speaker 2: I know you said once you got into minor league ball and once you got your pro career started, you said you like spending time with a bunch of your friends. I know we were sitting here talking about it. Maybe you can do some content with some of your friends. You're are close with Johnny Farmelo, aren't you, because you guys worked in the same class, same year. I mean, it seems like I got a couple of follow ups to this, but it seems like you guys are pretty good friends. 00:58:10 Speaker 4: Yeah. No, we're like, we're like boys. He was my roommate them USA. 00:58:16 Speaker 6: That's when we first met, and then from then we stayed with each other for like two weeks we Kevin Touch and then Draft night. I so like this guy on Twitter like leaked all of them like five minutes before. 00:58:30 Speaker 4: His name is Joe Doyle. You know you're talking about, right. 00:58:32 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah podcastle Yeah yeah yeah. So he like leaked like all of them, and so I got we both me and my dad both got notifications on the latch and they said Pig twenty nine Johnny Parmello, and we went crazy because at that point we already knew, like I already knew I was going to the Mariners. So we I went nuts and I was like, no way, like my room, and again immediately texted him. 00:58:55 Speaker 4: He was like, no, no way, because he didn't know I was going yet, so. 00:58:59 Speaker 6: It was like a complete told surprise. And then saw each other. We went to go, we got some dinner, and then we stayed with each other for another like week and a half, two weeks, and you know, hopefully he gets up here quick. He's right now. He's in the Bridge League. He was having some problems, but he's good now, so he's gonna be up here faster than you know, faster. 00:59:20 Speaker 4: And I'll think. 00:59:23 Speaker 2: I've got two follow ups to this because I heard two pretty good stories about you and Johnny, so I wanted to ask you about him. One is so Jerry Depoto was doing his podcast that he does. It's a couple of weeks after the draft, and he was telling the stories of all you guys taking your trips to Seattle and hitting your rounds of VP on the field, and he was talking about Johnny hitting where he said Johnny had a really good round. 00:59:43 Speaker 3: He was spraying the ball. 00:59:44 Speaker 2: Everywhere, but he didn't hit any balls out so Johnny turned around to him and said, hey, how long should I keep hitting? And they said, it's really whatever you want, Johnny. I mean, you're already a Mariner. You don't have to keep proving things to us. And he said, how many balls did Typete hit out during his round? And yeah, and the Poto says, oh, he hit two and they were pretty tape measure shots. And Johnny turns around, he hits three in a row, turns back around to a Poto, drops the bat and he's like, yeah, I'm done. 01:00:11 Speaker 4: He like, they gave me a limit. They gave me a limit, and if I went after him, I would have tripled it. 01:00:17 Speaker 6: Because because I was going, I was like, you know what, there's no there's no point, like I'm not gonna unleash. And then I was like, you know what, these fans are here, I only have like three more balls, might as well just start ripping. So now I just turned on home Run Derry Mote and just start ripping balls. I think I hit one off of the like you know, the little jumbo tron. 01:00:36 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I hit one off there, and I was like, you know what, that's that's good. That's good. And I didn't even think. I was like, oh, Johnny's gonna definitely hit more than two. 01:00:43 Speaker 6: But if we go back, if we go back, I'm gonna be ripping ball everybody, every ba. 01:00:48 Speaker 4: I'm give him a little stare down as the balls in the air. 01:00:51 Speaker 6: But he told me that's like the first thing you told me. He's like, he's like, you hit two. I was like, I already saw the tweets. 01:00:58 Speaker 1: Bro, Well now you got two grand slams instead. 01:01:02 Speaker 4: Right, was like a laughing emoji. 01:01:07 Speaker 3: Well, hey, now it's confirmed. 01:01:08 Speaker 2: Here on the pod, Tye Pete says, you guys go through another round of BP together, you're tripling his home run total. 01:01:14 Speaker 4: I'm going to quadruple that. You can change that. 01:01:16 Speaker 2: Oh, there we go, quadruple you're getting You're getting twelve plus at least in. 01:01:20 Speaker 4: The next round. I have to if I'm going against Johnny. 01:01:24 Speaker 3: Here here's the. 01:01:24 Speaker 2: Other story we heard, and we thought, oh, what a perfect place then to give you a platform to respond because this is actually a couple months before you guys were drafted. So you mentioned Joe Doyle and Johnny was on a podcast with Joe a couple months before the draft, and Joe asked him. At the very end of the podcast, he goes, Okay, Johnny, I've got to ask this one question. Who's the one guy in this draft class who's not dating your sister? And he thinks about it for a second and he goes, yeah, it's gotta be ty Pete, and his exact his exact words were, I don't want Tye Pete driving up to the house in his Merches with all his chains and sunglasses on. So we hear that and we're like, well, let's give tie a chance to respond. 01:02:06 Speaker 6: Here, thank you, thank you, And it doesn't help with what I'm about to say at all. 01:02:13 Speaker 4: The car I'm actually looking at is a Mercedes. 01:02:16 Speaker 6: And it's the funniest thing because I didn't even think about it. I didn't think I was talking to Johnny actually, and I just got back from test driving it. So I get back to the apartment and I was like, yo, Johnny, like, look at this car. 01:02:29 Speaker 4: I showed him. 01:02:30 Speaker 6: He was like, dude, that stick And then I was like, I was thinking about it, and my mom goes, you can't get a Mercedes. Johnny said, you're gonna roll, and I was like, and he started dying. 01:02:42 Speaker 4: We both started dying. Laughing because like that's the first thing we thought it. I was like, I can't get this car. It's gonna keep coming true, Like I can't, I can't get this. 01:02:49 Speaker 6: So then I was just like dude, and it was it was just funny because like I'm gonna I'm gonna end up getting that car, but it was it was just hilarious. 01:02:59 Speaker 4: Like the look on his face. He was just like dude. 01:03:05 Speaker 1: Said, oh, go ahead, go ahead. No. 01:03:09 Speaker 4: I was just like, bro like me, and he was like, you were just the first person I thought of. And I was like. 01:03:15 Speaker 6: And like and then someone said like, oh, it's like iconic or like it's funny that their teammates now. 01:03:21 Speaker 4: I was like, that's pretty funny. 01:03:24 Speaker 1: So turn around question to that tie. Are you letting Johnny Day your sister? 01:03:29 Speaker 4: Uh? 01:03:29 Speaker 6: Yeah he's a good guy, good guy, good baseball player. Three home runs and that's pretty impressive. No, yeah, he's a good guy. 01:03:40 Speaker 4: He's a good guy. 01:03:41 Speaker 6: He's funny. Johnny is funny, dude, Like he's probably the one. He's underrated. 01:03:45 Speaker 4: Funny me cole Aiden, all of us say that, like the guy is funny. 01:03:49 Speaker 1: It was a good roommate though. 01:03:51 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's good roommate. Clean just sleeps by himself. He's all. He all he does. Sit sit in a little corner, go through his phone, fall asleep. That's what that was. That was the room. 01:04:01 Speaker 6: But we did have this fan in our room and he had like he had like a fan. It was like, I mean, it had it. It was like an industrial fan like fan was big. 01:04:10 Speaker 4: And I was like, where do you even bought that? 01:04:12 Speaker 6: Like the fan was like maybe like this big and it was just constant, Like I was across the room. 01:04:17 Speaker 4: I could still feel it. 01:04:20 Speaker 3: Well down in Florida, you probably needed it right right. 01:04:23 Speaker 4: No, No, it's hot, dude. We're in Arizona this time. Oh it was hot. We were in Peoria. 01:04:31 Speaker 3: Oh okay, there you go. Well, still hot weather one way or another. At least it's a dry heat. Why'd you guys connect so well? 01:04:38 Speaker 2: I mean back when you guys were playing Team USA together, because it sounds I mean, you guys have had this friendship for a while now. 01:04:44 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't really know. I think it's just kind of like we just came. We just became really good friends, and then we started seeing each other all the time, like especially around baseball stuff, like at the combine, we saw each other, we hung out there and ever since then, like we kind of just like became really good friends and things worked out where we just keep playing with each other. But you know, I'm super excited for him to get up here and be teammates again one one, two, three, four with me, Cole, Aiden, and Johnny all all four, But so I love it. It's been It's worked out really and then Cole, we've all we're really good friends. 01:05:18 Speaker 4: With Cold now too. I think I've hung out with Colt. 01:05:21 Speaker 6: Maybe like three or four times before like here, uh, just kind of like workouts. But now like we're rooming right now, and he's he is funny. Colt's also funny, and he's just like a good guy. But all all three of us really are just like we all like link really well. 01:05:38 Speaker 1: It's all four of you guys were on Team USA. 01:05:42 Speaker 4: Uh, Me, Cole, and Johnny. 01:05:46 Speaker 6: I don't think Aiden did PDP, but Me, Cole and Johnny were. 01:05:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, They's still gotta be like pretty rare that three guys in the same circuit are all on the same team and probably at the same level. As long as you guys are on the organization together. I mean that's crazy. 01:06:02 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, that is kind of weird to think about, like three high schoolers and we all knew each other. 01:06:08 Speaker 4: Though, it's kind of cool. 01:06:11 Speaker 2: Okay, Ty, Before we wrap this up, we've got five rapid fire questions for you, and they're supposed to be on the fun side, but to just try to give fans and listeners just a chance to get to know even a little bit more about you. So the first one we have is what's your go to pregame and postgame? 01:06:27 Speaker 3: Neil? 01:06:30 Speaker 4: Pre game? 01:06:31 Speaker 6: Do I love like Chipotle? Like a chipole bowl, double chicken kso? And then after they put the one scoop of kso, I asked for double k so. So they don't even see it coming, but it's extra keso that right there. That's pre game, post game, whatever they got, Like, whatever they have in there, I'll eat it. I'm a big sushi guy though too. 01:06:54 Speaker 1: Oh yes, yeah, I just say a poke bowl good taste. Yep, it's pretty good. You gotta have some seafood when you get off to Seattle. I mean, dude, it's pretty good. 01:07:04 Speaker 4: I gotta tell you. 01:07:05 Speaker 6: Like we had so, we had dinner, We had dinner and lunch the same day, and I looked at our area scout terry and he was like, it's on the mariner's bill, and I was like, oh, oh, oh, I think I got two pounds of I got two pounds of dungeonus crab, a pound of snow crab. This is all in one setting. Two pounds of dungeons crab, pounds of snow crab. I had two bowls of clam chowder and I had a fourteen out of steak and I downed it all, the entire thing. 01:07:37 Speaker 4: And then we had dinner that night. 01:07:39 Speaker 1: Wow, where'd you guys eat where? 01:07:41 Speaker 6: I don't even I think it's called cutters. A might have been cutters or it was like it was like this place across the street from Cutters to another crab place down that all I had one whole half of the table, like it was all my plates. 01:07:55 Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, you like seafood. I mean, once you get to the big leagues, you can you can feast your eyes on some pretty some of the best seafood there is. Okay, that's good. You know, we grew up in Seattle. Is not actually a seafood person, Like I guess we're just the polar opposites. 01:08:11 Speaker 4: Then that's nice. 01:08:13 Speaker 2: Just just pause for one second here, TJ. Speaking of seafood. While we're on the topic. You caught a fish at pipe place, didn't you, Tie. 01:08:19 Speaker 6: Yeah, that that thing, Yeah, that straight bear fish. Yes, yeah, I'm not a like I'm not like an animal guy like I have, like I have two dogs. But if that dog, if the dog is not my dog, I'm not like a dog person. I don't like bugs any like thing, any animal that's not like mine. I hate it, like that touching that fish cause like and when I go fishing, I shake it off the rod until it falls off, like I'm not touching that fish. 01:08:49 Speaker 4: And it was so great. It didn't have a head either. I was just like, oh, my little brother, my little brother's complete opposite. Though he like grabbed it. 01:08:56 Speaker 6: He was looking at it so gross. 01:09:01 Speaker 1: Well, that's like the that's the introduction to Seattle for any like any semi like famous. I guess you're semi famous in Seattle now, or we could just say famous. We'll just skip all the way to the end of the line. That's always the first stop there. So that that's good. You got that out of the way, Tie, So next when you make it to the big leagues, you can go back there again and get a second crack of that fish. 01:09:20 Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that's. 01:09:23 Speaker 1: A good idea. Second question, we have here your top three favorite TV shows of all time? 01:09:30 Speaker 4: Tom and Jerry Amazing, Wanted Gumball's gotta be up there. 01:09:37 Speaker 6: Sorry, this show is so good. Tom and Jerry amazing, want of Gumball? And I guess technically money Heist was a TV show. It was that's more of like the serious ones. But Tom and Jerry is my favorite TV show of all the time. I watched that from like, any episode will make me laugh. 01:09:53 Speaker 4: Now. 01:09:55 Speaker 2: So were you more of a cartoon network guy than a Nickelodeon or Disney guy? 01:09:59 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I was more of a cartoon network. 01:10:01 Speaker 6: Me and my dad just kind of chilled around and watched Tom and Jerry, and I man, that's got It's still the funniest thing. Like I still look back look back at some now and just it never never, like doesn't make me laugh. 01:10:14 Speaker 2: I don't blame you. I still laugh watching SpongeBob. 01:10:17 Speaker 3: Oh, I get it. 01:10:18 Speaker 4: Oh. 01:10:18 Speaker 6: I wasn't allowed to watch SpongeBob when I was growing up. My mom thought I was annoying. 01:10:22 Speaker 3: It's funny. 01:10:23 Speaker 2: We weren't allowed to watch it until I was I don't know, six years old or so, so around first grade it was the same thing. 01:10:28 Speaker 3: My mom thought it was an annoying show, and she's like, I don't want it on. 01:10:32 Speaker 4: I still don't want it. I still think I'm not allowed to. 01:10:36 Speaker 3: Well, Tom and Jerry is a good consolation, Prizal. Let's put it like that, Yeah. 01:10:41 Speaker 2: What would you be doing, ty, or do you think you'd be doing if you weren't playing baseball. 01:10:46 Speaker 4: I'll be a. 01:10:49 Speaker 6: Probably a computer scientist or a computer engineer, or I would be working my boat off to get on the PGA Tour. 01:10:57 Speaker 4: How crazy would that be? 01:10:59 Speaker 6: I just want to be good at golf, Like, oh, if I can do anything like, I think I would seriously drop like and then like one attribute of my life to be able to golf well, like really well, or sing, to be able to sing. I would like, I think I would drop something serious that I that I can do to sing. 01:11:18 Speaker 2: You're gonna fit right in with some of the guys in the organization. We do some of these like social media segments with some of the players and we ask them what's the skill you want to master, and a couple of them said golf, and a couple of them said singing. 01:11:28 Speaker 3: So you're right in that line. 01:11:30 Speaker 6: If I can golf, man, I like, I'm shooting like eighty three right now. If I can break that eighty, I'm gonna be set. 01:11:37 Speaker 1: You must be really excited. Then for spring training in Arizona. You get a full month and a half down in Arizona. I mean, you get baseball during the day, but then all of a sudden, like, oh, I got four three hours. 01:11:48 Speaker 4: Right, No, yeah, I'll be golf every day. I can't. 01:11:50 Speaker 6: Like I was talking to my dad and he was like my wrist her even thinking about how much golf we're gonna do in the off season. 01:11:58 Speaker 1: Man, Okay, her favorite baseball favorite baseball player of all time. 01:12:04 Speaker 6: H Francisco Lindoor just kind of like he's I've been I've been looking up to him since I was like eleven or twelve. And it's actually funny because I'm an Angels fan. I've been old. It's tough to be an Angels fan, but I've been an Angels fan since I was eleven years old, ten years old, eleven years old, and I finally. 01:12:23 Speaker 4: Got to go to a game. This was for my twelfth birthday. 01:12:25 Speaker 6: For my twelfth birthday, we went to Ohio when Lindor played for the Indians, and we go there, we watched him play, and I just I just couldn't watch Tilt play like I was watching him play like I was watching Lindor play. And after that, I've been a Lindor fan for a long long time. There's been plenty of times where I thought I was gonna meet Lindor and I never did, And like, that's still like one thing I want to do. I still never like talked to him. 01:12:52 Speaker 1: It's a pretty good choice. 01:12:53 Speaker 4: He is. 01:12:54 Speaker 1: He's almost criminally underrated, so. 01:12:57 Speaker 6: Right, like, I like the way he plays, he plays with past plays. He enjoys the game. 01:13:01 Speaker 4: He likes to have fun out there, like kind of how I play. 01:13:04 Speaker 2: So don't say the Angels thing. Don't say the Angels fan thing too loud. You might you might get some you might get under some fan skin with that one. 01:13:12 Speaker 4: It's so tough to be. 01:13:13 Speaker 6: It's so tough, all right, I'm slowly slowly going down. 01:13:19 Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll say it not you, because we've been trying to speak it into existence on this pod for months now. But maybe that two way guy I'll play in this organization in a few months. 01:13:27 Speaker 3: You never know. 01:13:29 Speaker 4: That would be crazy. My mom would flip. That's my mom's third player. She would flip. And I met and I met eachro. My mom is jealous. 01:13:40 Speaker 2: That's a cool one.

If I ever do something or I would do thugas ruggish Bone, I would do that. But I'm more of an old school guy. So I'm definitely gonna have something blasting old school this upcoming week because we got a home home opener, so I'm gonna have that. I'm gonna have that old school self blasting. I love man, I love I love music. I love music. 01:14:55 Speaker 2: So do we and we're we're big R and B and hip hop guys too, So yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you're much of a Travis Scott fan, but we like had like mixed opinions about Utopia, where I thought it was okay. 01:15:05 Speaker 3: T J loved it. 01:15:06 Speaker 6: Yeah, really, I liked a couple of songs off it. I think Meltdown seem like Telegan. That's where I like path over to because I just like the like the vocals. 01:15:16 Speaker 1: I'm the vocals probably my number one song on the album right there. 01:15:19 Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds pretty good. 01:15:20 Speaker 6: I know it's pretty good, but I'm telling you, like I'm more of like the Alicia Keys. 01:15:26 Speaker 4: I've actually started listening. 01:15:27 Speaker 6: To Old Drake a lot. Old Drake obviously. J Cole Usher is probably my top artist. Listen like, I'm a little Apple music replay Usher is probably my top artist, and then behind it's probably Daniel Caesar, Alicia Keys, Bruno, Mars is up there. 01:15:44 Speaker 4: Who else I usually listened to? Uh yeah, ushers? 01:15:49 Speaker 6: Oh, Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson's up there too. 01:15:52 Speaker 4: I started on my shows. 01:15:54 Speaker 6: I used to put on shows for my parents when I was like six, Michael Jackson stuff. 01:15:59 Speaker 3: Well, what was your go to Michael Jackson's song The. 01:16:04 Speaker 4: Way You Make Me Feel? Okay, no business singing that when I was like six, but I was, I was singing it. 01:16:11 Speaker 3: We love it, Ty, This has been so awesome. 01:16:14 Speaker 2: We've had a blast sitting here getting to know you a little bit, hopefully Marit's fans have gotten to know you a little bit. 01:16:19 Speaker 3: And you're a guy. 01:16:21 Speaker 4: Now. 01:16:21 Speaker 3: We haven't had that. 01:16:22 Speaker 2: Many players on yet, since we've only been doing this a few months, but you're a guy. Well, I mean when you're going off in the minors and moving your way through the system, I mean you'll see us hyping you up and retweeting your highlights and all that stuff. 01:16:33 Speaker 3: So this has been awesome. We appreciate all the time. 01:16:36 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is cool. I love I love the fun questions. I'm all about that fun question stuff. 01:16:41 Speaker 2: Well, I hope you enjoyed that conversation with Type, because man, we had a blast. I've got a little bit of a take here, TJ. You tell me if this is fair. I think ty Pete's about to become a fan favorite very quickly. 01:16:54 Speaker 1: I really hope he picks up the idea I pitched him of letting him do like a Julio like show, because he seems to be the one with the nose for media with his YouTube channel. I mean, he'll try and showcase it on that. But once the Mariners see how much he's willing to market himself personally, then why not, especially if he keeps going off in the minor leagues and he's gonna shoot up top one hundred prospect lists. I don't see why you wouldn't do that. I mean, what a fun personality I was mentioning to you. I talked to athletes all the time here in Corballis. You know, we're around Oregon State. Our station covers many Oregon State athletics. We talk about them all the time. We talk to a bunch of different athletes. Rarely do we ever get that much personality out of anyone, because you know, interviews can get kind of short and they're all with a with a pr person and it's all like, you know, some of these athletes are all cagy with their answers and don't really like talking to the media. And I understand that's fine, but it was so nice to get some real genuine personality and interest out of Typeed. He didn't have to be that way. He could have just answered our questions and went on, but no, he decided that he wanted to show us more of his personality and things that he actually likes, and his interests and what he wants to do on the field and off the field, and things he thinks he's good at and all these other things. And I just to say how much I really appreciate that, because I think not only does it make the interview better, it make the podcast better, and it makes the conversation better as well, and less awkward, because these interviews can all be awkward. We don't know each other with like ties, meeting us for the first time, but at the end of the conversation it felt like we'd known him for a lot longer. 01:18:31 Speaker 2: Than that, So it feels like what you just said is long winded answer. Yes, he's got a chance to be a real fan favorite here. Yes, yes, I've got to say. I mean, look at what he's interested in. He likes baseball, content creation, and hip hop music. In other words, he can co host every week with us if he wants. 01:18:55 Speaker 1: And golf. 01:18:57 Speaker 2: Yeah, and golf, although I don't know if we can exactly match up typed on the links. I can't really, I can't really play golf to save my life. 01:19:04 Speaker 1: No, I can't either, So he can. He can keep that to himself. But you're right, yeah he could. He can get tribute. 01:19:10 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, as he knows, he's got an open platform anytime he wants. But we certainly enjoyed the conversation with Tie.
