- 00:00:00they say winning cures everything but in
- 00:00:02this case winning actually cost me
- 00:00:03everything let me set the stage for you
- 00:00:05I need to record one win and maintain my
- 00:00:07lead in the ra title to win the Triple
- 00:00:09Crown and that should be easy because I
- 00:00:11have five starts left to do it and I'm
- 00:00:13way ahead in the ra title but well let
- 00:00:16me just show you what happened the week
- 00:00:17started normally with some day after
- 00:00:19start conversation let say we go five
- 00:00:23yesterday oh I'm definitely snaking that
- 00:00:25win you get the win for that score is
- 00:00:27discretion I think but apparently the
- 00:00:29rule is Kev was looking this up that if
- 00:00:31a game only goes five the starter has to
- 00:00:33go four to get the win but I don't know
- 00:00:35how that's possible cuz I threw more
- 00:00:37than half of the official game so the
- 00:00:39rule I think is at least in MLB is that
- 00:00:41you have to go if a game only goes five
- 00:00:43innings you have to go four Innings to
- 00:00:44be eligible the start has to go four to
- 00:00:46be eligible for the win either way could
- 00:00:48do whatever they want the score can
- 00:00:51always do whatever they want there's no
- 00:00:52rules well one game this year they gave
- 00:00:54me four earned runs then they changed it
- 00:00:56to two then they changed it to one and
- 00:00:58then a week later they changed it back
- 00:00:59to two they can do that apparently yeah
- 00:01:02scor is discretion it's going to be a
- 00:01:04Hot Topic this week is there a new guy
- 00:01:06we're getting a new guy on the 15th but
- 00:01:07he hasn't pitched since winter Ball but
- 00:01:08he's a starter I think Eric should
- 00:01:10actually train to try to hit homers like
- 00:01:12to be able to consistently hit homers
- 00:01:14not to just like [ __ ] around and every
- 00:01:17once in 30 swings hit a cage Homer and
- 00:01:19then just cut all the the misses out you
- 00:01:22know I want to be fair to Eric he did
- 00:01:24throw a 26lb kettle bell as hard as he
- 00:01:27could and tore his UCL completely so he
- 00:01:31has no UCL well that was when he was
- 00:01:33done playing and he's like started his
- 00:01:35Fu around and just do crazy [ __ ] Twitter
- 00:01:37escapades finger training also helps I
- 00:01:40don't know how much finger training you
- 00:01:41do but we could test that out we can
- 00:01:42test it I'm very curious I've done none
- 00:01:44of it if you look at everybody's release
- 00:01:46this knuckle here is straight and the
- 00:01:48top one is bent so the more elasticity
- 00:01:51and like pressure you can apply there
- 00:01:53the stiffer that can be the more the
- 00:01:55ball's going to like flick off the
- 00:01:57fingers I used to average like 20 High
- 00:01:5922s on my fast ball like early 201s and
- 00:02:03then I started my finger training in
- 00:02:052018 or 19 and then by 20 well now my
- 00:02:09average is like 2450 so I bumped like
- 00:02:12200 RPM naturally that ever gets out
- 00:02:14about the fingertip training like well
- 00:02:16it's also so like this knuckle is for
- 00:02:17Tommy John like you if you train this
- 00:02:19knuckle it helps with Tommy John
- 00:02:20preventing it and if you train this one
- 00:02:22it's for performance so I have like my
- 00:02:24Hang block that I have I don't know if
- 00:02:25you ever seen me like I'm thinking like
- 00:02:27a rock climber it's exactly what it is
- 00:02:29it's different depths it's a wood block
- 00:02:31it has like different depths for your
- 00:02:32fingers like some of them are only like
- 00:02:34this
- 00:02:35deep Kev do you have your phone yeah can
- 00:02:38I borrow it for a second all right throw
- 00:02:40a
- 00:02:44cutter did I get it no I got to do it
- 00:02:48higher that one out behind it yes you
- 00:02:51were see how you can see the whole back
- 00:02:53of your hand right here mhm we need to
- 00:02:55see the thumb side of your hand so
- 00:02:57you're coming through it like this this
- 00:03:00so that's why you're getting the Back
- 00:03:01Spin when you need to see this
- 00:03:04part yeah but don't like break in front
- 00:03:07of it like a slider like this and then I
- 00:03:10have to be able to release into a
- 00:03:12pronation just just release it straight
- 00:03:15like this just straight down the side of
- 00:03:16the
- 00:03:19ball that's the one that you want that's
- 00:03:22what I just threw yeah you want that
- 00:03:24zero depth right yeah well I mean I I
- 00:03:26want it to yeah a little bit more on the
- 00:03:28side and then the last thing that need
- 00:03:30more side a little bit more side this is
- 00:03:32fine see how you can see where the seams
- 00:03:34are rotating around it's on the left
- 00:03:36part of the ball so if this is straight
- 00:03:37it's pointed like this a little bit so
- 00:03:39it's going to have a little bit of
- 00:03:40backspin to it if you want to get zero
- 00:03:42depth you need to get it straight or
- 00:03:44even the front of the ball slightly up
- 00:03:45so you just need a little bit
- 00:03:48more yeah so see how you're attacking it
- 00:03:50on the side and at the end you're
- 00:03:51pulling down yeah that still has a
- 00:03:53little bit of cut to it this attack is
- 00:03:55good and then right at the end instead
- 00:03:57of carrying that attack through you see
- 00:03:58how your hand turns to get behind the
- 00:04:00ball I have to stay here longer yeah I
- 00:04:02don't know if I can you stay there
- 00:04:04longer with your cutter like this the
- 00:04:06whole time and then yeah here let me let
- 00:04:08me throw one real
- 00:04:09quick so my hand's turning over later
- 00:04:12you're further up in front of the ball
- 00:04:14my fingers are back here on the seam
- 00:04:15right so I'm I'm staying here longer and
- 00:04:18then my hand turns later I'm throwing
- 00:04:20mine here you're like here you can
- 00:04:23almost see the white you can see the
- 00:04:24white like here on your hand the grip
- 00:04:26doesn't matter it's the hand orientation
- 00:04:28so when you're releasing the ball if
- 00:04:29your hand is getting to here before the
- 00:04:32ball's out it's of course going to put
- 00:04:34that axis with Back Spin on it yeah and
- 00:04:36that's why you're getting the five vert
- 00:04:37so you got to carry this longer and just
- 00:04:40carry this all the way through your
- 00:04:41hand's naturally going to turn but you
- 00:04:43got to think about carrying that all the
- 00:04:44way through till the ball's out of your
- 00:04:47hand you're still behind so it still has
- 00:04:50that cut that true cutter spin which is
- 00:04:52going to give you the lift but I feel
- 00:04:53like I moved up there and I feel like I
- 00:04:55was able to pull down
- 00:04:57better that one looked correct live yeah
- 00:05:01that's
- 00:05:02it see that still still break early
- 00:05:05though see the Dot's dead in the center
- 00:05:07though see the ball's already off your
- 00:05:08thumb ball slips off your thumb right
- 00:05:11there and you can see your fingers are
- 00:05:13still contacting the outer like the very
- 00:05:15edge of the ball the next frame the ball
- 00:05:17rolls and your hand turns but the ball's
- 00:05:20already gone and the dot straight out
- 00:05:21and the dots straight out that's the one
- 00:05:23that's going to go zero vert and like
- 00:05:25four horizontal that's what I want right
- 00:05:27so things today seem pretty normal I was
- 00:05:29doing a little bit of complaining Eric
- 00:05:30caught a stray I was helping some
- 00:05:31teammates with some baseball stuff but
- 00:05:33my stomach was feeling a little bit off
- 00:05:36H it's probably nothing the strike three
- 00:05:38on the cutter was a good 8 in off the
- 00:05:43plate inside if the plate was the
- 00:05:44Batters box line it was probably stillo
- 00:05:45a ball and it was inside
- 00:05:48too it was cutter kind of Crossfire from
- 00:05:50a lefty but it's foring but I think it's
- 00:05:53C 93 is not bad from left side guy last
- 00:05:56night that came in the relieve through
- 00:05:5993 also but didn't throw any fast balls
- 00:06:02I'm firmly convinced the harder you
- 00:06:04throw the less fast balls you should
- 00:06:05throw Edwin Diaz like 60% slider now I
- 00:06:08think your hair looks good it's the best
- 00:06:10just hair is ever looking Pon will let

- 00:11:32I did terrible please I well they wanted
- 00:11:34me to travel back to Mexico City before
- 00:11:36that game I was like no I want to see
- 00:11:37Pawn's pitch so I'm going to stay so it
- 00:11:39was your fault I stunk in PUO yeah I'm
- 00:11:43not taking the blame on that one so I
- 00:11:44[ __ ] up I can't blame them cuz I
- 00:11:46didn't I didn't see in Vera Cruz you
- 00:11:48punched 11 I didn't see in keto and you
- 00:11:50did well I'm not going to see you this
- 00:11:51Sunday so we'll see if the uh we'll see
- 00:11:53if it holds I just won't show up for
- 00:11:55your starts it'll be written that I'm a
- 00:11:56terrible teammate for that but really
- 00:11:58it's me trying to help you say's a good
- 00:12:01teammate on on camera you'll get
- 00:12:03canceled for that he's a great teammate
- 00:12:04as long as he's not around last night
- 00:12:07woke up like four times throughout the
- 00:12:08night splitting headache really bad
- 00:12:10stomach issues had to use the restroom
- 00:12:12like six different times sweated through
- 00:12:14my sheets I got to pitch because as it
- 00:12:17stands right now Cesar Valdez is one win
- 00:12:19behind me but he pitches Sunday if he
- 00:12:21wins that game we're tied on wins which
- 00:12:22means I'm no longer winning the trival
- 00:12:24crown so I have to make my next start on
- 00:12:26Monday regardless of how I feel sit in
- 00:12:28the sauna for approximately 10 hours see
- 00:12:30if I can sweat all this [ __ ] out
- 00:12:32literally and uh metaphorically so last
- 00:12:35game wasn't actually a game I went three
- 00:12:37Innings my command kind of let me down
- 00:12:39cuz I think I was starting to get sick
- 00:12:41and I didn't sleep well the night before
- 00:12:42my start but I went three Innings struck
- 00:12:44out four gave up two hits and one run
- 00:12:48then the rain came and canceled the game
- 00:12:50so none of that counted but uh overall
- 00:12:52my stuff was pretty good actually and my
- 00:12:54next start is in Cancun at sea level I
- 00:12:57haven't gotten a pitch at sea level in
- 00:12:58like a month and a half so I'm excited
- 00:13:00to uh have my stuff actually mooved
- 00:13:03pitch what I would consider a normal
- 00:13:04baseball game and low did say that I get
- 00:13:06100 pitches next outing instead of my
- 00:13:07hard cap of 85 so uh hey Paul can you
- 00:13:10cue the ominous music here to foreshadow
- 00:13:13impending doom please I love how Yak is
- 00:13:15like 200 ft away right now signaling
- 00:13:17fast ball and change up to me as if it's
- 00:13:18going to make any difference by the time
- 00:13:20it gets to me what pitch type it was I
- 00:13:22appreciate it though let's try to throw
- 00:13:25a split like to my cat play partner how
- 00:13:27about that
- 00:13:30there we
- 00:13:36go you're a little behind still behind
- 00:13:39it you're not holding the the football
- 00:13:40quite long enough I feel like I'm
- 00:13:42pushing it like that you just got to
- 00:13:43hold that superation the whole way
- 00:13:47through that was right that was right
- 00:13:49the hand was right it's just you were
- 00:13:50kind of pulling across instead of
- 00:13:52directing It Forward little behind it
- 00:13:54but it was better than the early ones
- 00:13:56yeah I feel like I like the way that
- 00:13:58felt this is the last last one you threw
- 00:13:59and you can see your hand sneaking
- 00:14:01behind the ball yeah but this is the one
- 00:14:03before that you threw kind of down the
- 00:14:04one that went straight down
- 00:14:06yeah and you can see your hand on the
- 00:14:09side go can you go back to the right at
- 00:14:10the tip I feel like it's just better if
- 00:14:12I could get my fingers closer to the
- 00:14:14front of the ball yeah cuz then it helps
- 00:14:16me keep on the side longer cuz my hand
- 00:14:18automatically wants to FR yeah you want
- 00:14:20to go that way it wants to go quick so I
- 00:14:22think I need to work my way here cuz
- 00:14:23anytime I'm here then I just get behind
- 00:14:25it then I push if you can get that if
- 00:14:27you can hold that it'll be money
- 00:14:29it's just you automatically want to turn
- 00:14:31and go there CU of the fast ball when I
- 00:14:33want to like drive my arm my arm has to
- 00:14:35like turn this way I don't know why I
- 00:14:36cannot in my head I'm trying to like
- 00:14:38throw it like that through them yeah but
- 00:14:40I can't keep it yeah I think when you
- 00:14:43think like cut the ball you think about
- 00:14:46kind of like doing something on the back
- 00:14:48side of it CU your your hand is on the
- 00:14:50back side of fast ball that's how yeah
- 00:14:52that's how I throw everything as opposed
- 00:14:53to just thinking that like you're just
- 00:14:55going to stay it's like you're slicing
- 00:14:57it with a knife almost just down The
- 00:14:59Edge like you're just staying there I
- 00:15:01get I could I could picture it like I
- 00:15:03need to to like drive this like that
- 00:15:06straight through them like that but I
- 00:15:07cannot me like I cannot physically keep
- 00:15:09that right could you sign my heart toy
- 00:15:14yeah it's good box whatever you want
- 00:15:17okay I like this that a little earring
- 00:15:20as well and it's like a limited edition
- 00:15:22only uh a th000 pieces only a th000
- 00:15:25pieces all right well I better not screw
- 00:15:26this signature up then let's go right

- 00:15:31[Music]
- 00:15:34too why you got to do that to
- 00:15:36me why you got to do that to
- 00:15:38me that's [ __ ] up now you pissed me
- 00:15:41off so you're going to get less than 10
- 00:15:44hits hey you going to take that video
- 00:15:46out when you're asking qua how many he
- 00:15:49you want me to cut it out no no no I
- 00:15:52want the video okay I'll put a Twitter
- 00:15:54poll with Diablos who would get more
- 00:15:57hits see what the fans say how many hits
- 00:16:00you think he getss 100 of bats at least
- 00:16:0120 20 at least yeah what do you think
- 00:16:04okay my question is how much hits you
- 00:16:07think you can have out of I know you
- 00:16:09have five I probably I probably have
- 00:16:11like I probably hit like 350 off him I'm
- 00:16:13going to hit a hit and I'm going
- 00:16:15do all right your pregame warmup like Le
- 00:16:19right now do you go through all your
- 00:16:20pitches or do you only go fast in pre-
- 00:16:22inning yeah fre
- 00:16:23inning I go all fast balls every now and
- 00:16:26then I'll throw like one other pitch
- 00:16:27type but I don't want to cross the
- 00:16:29feeling of like 50% throw on a cutter
- 00:16:32and then try to throw it 100% next you
- 00:16:38know I really appreciate that the
- 00:16:40pitcher it is 10 to one in the seventh
- 00:16:43and he's laying out to save me a hit
- 00:16:45look at his strike the ball ratio he's
- 00:16:47thrown 12 balls
- 00:16:49[Music]

- 00:17:44yet know right oh well can you see out
- 00:17:47of that
- 00:17:48um you can wrestle in this you can pitch
- 00:17:51in this you know I'm used to playing
- 00:17:52catch with one eye closed so I have two
- 00:17:54eyes open right now but it's basically
- 00:17:56like having one eye it'll be a nice
- 00:17:57challenging Bullpen for me if you're
- 00:17:59wondering what the hell I'm wearing on
- 00:18:00my head it's a Lucha Libre mask given to
- 00:18:02me by Euphoria to commemorate my 19th
- 00:18:04strikeout game I got to meet him a
- 00:18:06couple days ago and he gifted me this
- 00:18:07mask so today I'm wearing it in his
- 00:18:09honor I'm still in a pretty good mood
- 00:18:10despite my stomach feeling progressively
- 00:18:16worse Beauty over comfort ponts you
- 00:18:19should know that beauty over Comfort
- 00:18:21because it looks like you can't see [ __ ]
- 00:18:24we'll see how much I can see in my
- 00:18:25Bullpen what's your top mhm
- 00:18:29102 you hit 102 it's [ __ ] tight I'm
- 00:18:33jealous I got to figure out how to hit
- 00:18:35hit 100 soon cuz kind of want to retire
- 00:18:37but I can't retire till I hit 100 you
- 00:18:39got a 99 this yeah couple of them start
- 00:18:42with the mask on if I could pitch with
- 00:18:44this on I would do it it would be
- 00:18:46electric hold on let's secure Triple
- 00:18:48Crown first and then ask for permission
- 00:18:51your last part well here's the problem
- 00:18:53I'm going to be tied in winds by the
- 00:18:55time I have my next start and I feel
- 00:18:56like [ __ ] my stomach is crappy getting
- 00:18:59sick normally I would not Pitch cuz I
- 00:19:02haven't eaten in two days and whatever I
- 00:19:04kind of need to get this win but I also
- 00:19:05can't give up more than like three runs
- 00:19:08cuz I got to win the ra too so I'm
- 00:19:10really up against it Zack grz at 235
- 00:19:14Zack Gros groz is it groz yeah is he is
- 00:19:18he good pitch is good he's got a 235 he
- 00:19:21hasn't given up a run like a month Jack
- 00:19:24video yeah I haven't had a chance to
- 00:19:26watch it it though I was on the toilet
- 00:19:28too much much this morning my pants
- 00:19:29turned brown in the middle of my pen
- 00:19:31let's just cut that part
- 00:19:33out got him than
- 00:19:38you my body feels loose probably because
- 00:19:40all the uh Tylenol and ibuprofen I'm on
- 00:19:43thankfully it's not uh too hot where I'm
- 00:19:45sweating like crazy cuz this mask would
- 00:19:46definitely make me sweat shout out to
- 00:19:48Euphoria for the mask thank you I love
- 00:19:50it so one thing I've noticed so far
- 00:19:52throwing the mask is there's this little
- 00:19:54strobe effect cuz there's little holes
- 00:19:55poked in the eyes so my depth perception
- 00:19:57is a little bit off not bad enough where
- 00:19:59I can't see the ball but definitely
- 00:20:00challenging the eyesight this is going
- 00:20:02to be good for my pen because it's going
- 00:20:04to be a new stimulus for my eyes trying
- 00:20:06to track the Target and for a day where
- 00:20:08i'm not feeling great it's probably good
- 00:20:09to challenge myself in that way I was
- 00:20:10talking to one of my buddies the other
- 00:20:12day and he was like Hey does locking
- 00:20:14your eyes on the target helps Sy up your
- 00:20:16mechanics I just threw the best pen of
- 00:20:18my life and my only focus was seeing the
- 00:20:20Target and my mechanics felt great I was
- 00:20:23like yeah if you lock your eyes on the
- 00:20:24Target and try to throw as hard as
- 00:20:26possible your mechanics will all sink up
- 00:20:33oh got
- 00:20:34him get you okay
- 00:20:38yes good
- 00:20:40English let's calibrate our Command here
- 00:20:42fast ball down
- 00:20:44away little down
- 00:20:48cutter there we go eyesight is
- 00:20:50definitely tricky but
- 00:20:53doable nice completely
- 00:20:56locked you can get your lock t-shirt at
- 00:20:59watch- momentum.com
- 00:21:01there we
- 00:21:03goish right there yeah just a little
- 00:21:05paint job away thank you top rope just
- 00:21:10you think it would freak out the hitters
- 00:21:11if they saw me and if they didn't think
- 00:21:13that I could see you would just for
- 00:21:15bigger hat that was one of the better
- 00:21:17bull pins I've thrown so I got a pitch
- 00:21:18in this you know here look look we get
- 00:21:21size eight a size eight hat holy cow it
- 00:21:25looks good right last year
- 00:21:29take us out of it it's separated by 172
- 00:21:32to 22 and a half so separated by five
- 00:21:34games from 2nd to 7th 34 and seven
- 00:21:37against teams that are above 500 there's
- 00:21:39one other team in the league that has a
- 00:21:41that has a winning record against above
- 00:21:43500 teams well you missed quite the
- 00:21:45inning well no I saw in the TVs there
- 00:21:47wild pinch and
- 00:21:49everything we're leaving Miguel is like
- 00:21:52we're winning and I was like
- 00:21:58trying to get me to get to Pella you got
- 00:22:00to clean your forehead
- 00:22:05dude and let me see
- 00:22:08it it's the most regular haircut I've
- 00:22:11ever seen would you do one size here and
- 00:22:13then one size there it's not as drastic
- 00:22:15as yours I didn't keep the top as
- 00:22:17long
- 00:22:19I I can
- 00:22:21tell looks at other guy's hair more than
- 00:22:24he looks at the glove when he's pitching
- 00:22:25how's my how's my hair
- 00:22:27doing looking all right clear the
- 00:22:29Sideburn a little bit sit down yep
- 00:22:32Ronnie and I have been talking about
- 00:22:34mechanics recently and we stumbled Upon
- 00:22:35A queue that he really likes nice dude
- 00:22:37feel so much better bro with that great
- 00:22:40cuz I can I can feel everything even
- 00:22:42when I know when I'm going to throw a
- 00:22:43bad pitch that's why I go ah before he
- 00:22:45was counter rotating his hip and his
- 00:22:46shoulders in the drift and drop phase
- 00:22:48trying to get into his hip because he'
- 00:22:50been taught that that's what makes you
- 00:22:51powerful cuz I can feel yeah before it
- 00:22:54was like I'm fighting fighting I don't
- 00:22:55feel anything now but really what it
- 00:22:57does is delay rotation and guarantee
- 00:22:59that your hips and your shoulders rotate
- 00:23:01at the same time I threw everything to
- 00:23:02the pl if I pull off I know it I can
- 00:23:04correct it everything seemed much more
- 00:23:06direct and like just pure strikes just
- 00:23:08like here and then the sliders were
- 00:23:10middle and breaking off not like yanked
- 00:23:11so what we discovered is if he thought
- 00:23:13about keeping his shoulders a little bit
- 00:23:14more open at the start of his delivery
- 00:23:15two things happened one he could see the
- 00:23:17target the whole time so he felt like
- 00:23:19his command and his direction to the
- 00:23:20plate was a lot better and it was two
- 00:23:23his mechanics felt simpler and easier to
- 00:23:24adjust and his velocity didn't suffer at
- 00:23:26all
- 00:23:28now yeah I'm
- 00:23:30not yeah nice job he ended up completely
- 00:23:33shutting down one of the best offenses
- 00:23:35in the league now there's a lot of
- 00:23:36misinformation about pitching mechanics
- 00:23:38out there some of which is leading to
- 00:23:39the dramatic Spike and pitcher injuries
- 00:23:41in recent years and coaches are just
- 00:23:42trying to help but if they don't have
- 00:23:44both playing experience and Technical
- 00:23:45knowledge then their athletes are left
- 00:23:47with incomplete or incorrect information
- 00:23:49this can lead to more injuries and less
- 00:23:51effective performance on the field
- 00:23:52leaving the athletes struggling to
- 00:23:53accomplish their career goals but what
- 00:23:55if there was a way to gain velocity stay
- 00:23:57healthy and perform better all at the
- 00:23:59same time I'm in the unique position of
- 00:24:01having both the playing experience and
- 00:24:02the technical knowledge to make this a
- 00:24:04possibility so I've created an app that
- 00:24:06allows players to learn directly from me
- 00:24:08it's called for app and when people sign
- 00:24:09up for our Ultimate Pitching program I
- 00:24:11analyze their mechanics detail all the
- 00:24:12areas that they can improve and create a
- 00:24:14throwing program for them that's 100%
- 00:24:16customized to their needs every program
- 00:24:18updates daily based on how the athletes
- 00:24:20body is feeling that day and contains
- 00:24:22drills reps weights and intensities
- 00:24:24designed to maximize performance gains
- 00:24:26while keeping them healthy in addition
- 00:24:28everyone who signs up gets access to a
- 00:24:29nine-part video series detailing
- 00:24:31everything that I've learned about
- 00:24:32pitching mechanics in my lifetime the
- 00:24:34same knowledge it helped me win a sa
- 00:24:35Young Award and sign one of the biggest
- 00:24:37contracts in MLB history so if you're
- 00:24:39looking to take your game to the next
- 00:24:40level don't waste another second search

- 00:26:02restroom like 10 different times 5 6
- 00:26:05days in a row of that I haven't slept
- 00:26:06more than 5 hours in like a week yeah I
- 00:26:09haven't really been a able to eat for 3
- 00:26:10days so I'm in bad shape so I have a lot
- 00:26:13of concerns about this one I'm going to
- 00:26:16miss at least one if not two starts most
- 00:26:18likely two starts after today I'll
- 00:26:20probably be tied on wins also I need 12
- 00:26:23more Innings to even qualify I'm at 81
- 00:26:25right now I need 93 so that's on the
- 00:26:27personal side and uh honestly have no
- 00:26:30idea if this is going to get fixed
- 00:26:31before end the season which is two weeks
- 00:26:32away supposed to start first playoff
- 00:26:35game in two and a half weeks so no idea
- 00:26:38if I'll be able to do that dude rotating
- 00:26:40does not feel
- 00:26:41[Music]
- 00:26:46good I definitely don't have anything to
- 00:26:48work on today the only reason I'm
- 00:26:49playing catch is to try to move my arm
- 00:26:51probably won't play catch for the next
- 00:26:53couple days while I'm getting evaluated
- 00:26:55trying to feel better so gra biker the
- 00:26:58next next day I flew back to the United
- 00:26:59States to get evaluated and I filmed
- 00:27:01some stuff but my dumbass deleted it
- 00:27:03before giving it to my editors so here's
- 00:27:05the basics after a terrible travel day I
- 00:27:07finally made it home on the evening of
- 00:27:08Monday July 15th on Tuesday the 16th I
- 00:27:11had a colonoscopy and by Thursday the
- 00:27:1318th I was diagnosed with ulcerative
- 00:27:15colitis so I was given some medication
- 00:27:16to clean that up after the procedure on
- 00:27:18Tuesday I ended up having little muscle
- 00:27:20twitches all over my body but I didn't
- 00:27:22think much of it at the time I just
- 00:27:23figured it was leftover effects from the
- 00:27:24anesthesia I ended up missing two starts
- 00:27:26and by the time I got back to Mexico
- 00:27:28City on Sunday the 21st Cesar Valdez had
- 00:27:30won another game which means he was only
- 00:27:32one behind me for the league lead in
- 00:27:33wins and that meant I really needed to
- 00:27:35get a win in my next start on the 25th
- 00:27:37to secure the Triple Crown so it's time
- 00:27:39to get ready for that why do my ankles
- 00:27:40feel weak my both of my ankles feel
- 00:27:43like I have no stability in them I got a
- 00:27:46bullpen tomorrow today we're in Mexico
- 00:27:48City tomorrow morning I fly to Lon throw
- 00:27:51a bullpen and then pitch on Thursday so
- 00:27:54to play a nice little game of catch
- 00:27:55today get my body moving my ankles and
- 00:27:57my legs feel completely like
- 00:28:00destabilized I have no idea why I've
- 00:28:02never felt like that before Paul it's uh
- 00:28:03it's me again please cue the ominous for
- 00:28:06boing something terrible is about to
- 00:28:08happen music right here as a way of
- 00:28:09letting our viewers know that something
- 00:28:11terrible is about to happen one thing
- 00:28:12that was going on before I got sick was
- 00:28:17I was drifting across my body too much
- 00:28:19so I was trying to throw and I was kind
- 00:28:21of cutting the ball my fast ball is Dead
- 00:28:23trying to make sure that my direction is
- 00:28:25going straight to my target honestly it
- 00:28:27feels weird throwing even though the
- 00:28:29difference is probably like not that
- 00:28:30much but I want to make sure that when I
- 00:28:34go to pitch next game my command has as
- 00:28:36good a chance as possible of being good
- 00:28:38cuz I won't have pitched in a game for
- 00:28:40like 15 days so two weeks got to make
- 00:28:43sure I'm starting my delivery correctly
- 00:28:45so I have weight on the ball of my foot
- 00:28:47and big toe and then I'm not allowing
- 00:28:50myself to do this as a first movement
- 00:28:52and drift across that I'm going straight
- 00:28:54down and that's directing me straight
- 00:28:56towards my Target also another thing I'm
- 00:28:58feeling is when I step across my body I
- 00:29:01can kind of block here with my glove
- 00:29:02side and then everything kind of rotates
- 00:29:04together to get around but when I'm
- 00:29:06stepping to my target my glove side
- 00:29:08blocks and I rotate like this I'm
- 00:29:10pulling the ball so I got to make sure
- 00:29:12that my glove side is being active and
- 00:29:13loading by the time my front foot hits
- 00:29:16so that I can like direct my hands
- 00:29:17straight to the Target definitely
- 00:29:18feeling a little bit off mechanically
- 00:29:20today I do notice though that when I get
- 00:29:22it right the ball has way more carry to
- 00:29:24it even here at altitude so that's nice
- 00:29:26if you want insights like this into your
- 00:29:27delivery reminder to check out for app I
- 00:29:29had fully rejoined the team yet but we
- 00:29:31lost our game on Sunday to end our 10
- 00:29:32game winning streak our third 10 game
- 00:29:34winning streak of the Season by the way
- 00:29:36but after playing catch on Monday I
- 00:29:37rejoined the team in Leon on Tuesday the

- 00:30:18athletic activity in my life before I'm
- 00:30:20not kidding I feel like I'm on ice right
- 00:30:22[Music]
- 00:30:25now I almost just rolled my ank like
- 00:30:28walking I have like no sensation in my
- 00:30:31feet either like they're not numb but I
- 00:30:33just can't like none of the muscles in
- 00:30:35my lower body are activated right now
- 00:30:36that's what it feels like my buddies and
- 00:30:38and Cancun that play for Cancun were
- 00:30:40like hey did he do it on purpose because
- 00:30:41our owner started talking [ __ ] about the
- 00:30:43Diablo I was like no bro he's really
- 00:30:45sick he's not even in the country
- 00:30:47anymore he's laying on his side in a
- 00:30:49hospital with a tube shoved up his ass
- 00:30:51right now they're like oh we thought
- 00:30:52since the article came out that the
- 00:30:54owner was talking [ __ ] on on Diablo that
- 00:30:57they decided to say you know what there
- 00:30:58goes your sell
- 00:30:59out no I wanted to pitch against them
- 00:31:02yeah you wanted that sea level start I
- 00:31:03wanted that sea level start guess this
- 00:31:05is what happens when you don't do
- 00:31:06anything for seven days and you are
- 00:31:10under anesthesia
- 00:31:12and are sick I don't
- 00:31:16know so much for that advertisement huh
- 00:31:19I think what it is is like my calf
- 00:31:21muscles aren't
- 00:31:23activating like I have
- 00:31:25no I have like no strength in moving
- 00:31:27moving my it's like my lower legs are
- 00:31:29just completely shut down activation
- 00:31:31wise but I lifted two days ago I didn't
- 00:31:34go heavy but it's like when I go to like
- 00:31:36lift my foot my foot like dangles and I
- 00:31:39have no
- 00:31:41like I have no ability to like hold my
- 00:31:43foot like IND dorsy flexion which makes
- 00:31:46it really hard to run cuz I go to run
- 00:31:48and it's like I'm dragging my toes also
- 00:31:50I've been having a ton of twitching you
- 00:31:52know like when you're laying there and
- 00:31:52the muscle just like won't stop like
- 00:31:54twitching I've been having that all over
- 00:31:56my body though like throughout the
- 00:31:59day all right I got to make sure my
- 00:32:01direction is good
- 00:32:03today so that's going to be the focus
- 00:32:05and catch play I have like no stability
- 00:32:07in my ankles at all right now it's like
- 00:32:10I land and I go to like stick it my
- 00:32:12ankle just goes nope and it rolls so
- 00:32:17weird yep there it goes the grass is not
- 00:32:21even it has nothing to do with the grass
- 00:32:23I promise you what is
- 00:32:25this that's that's just that's just in
- 00:32:27the middle of the Outfield there's two
- 00:32:29of them there's three of them yeah it's
- 00:32:30a whole line I guess that's how the
- 00:32:32field drains I guess so but like what if
- 00:32:35a ball goes in that what if someone's
- 00:32:37foot goes in that also can we get some
- 00:32:39lights on in the stadium it is so dim
- 00:32:41right

- 00:32:52my front side cuz my ankle's dead what
- 00:32:54is going on don't step in that hole Kev
- 00:32:57looks like dead
- 00:33:03death I'm dead send me to the
- 00:33:06morg don't call a trainer I'm
- 00:33:09fine no no no I'm fine
- 00:33:16ambulance I got hit like right here
- 00:33:19Ronnie got me Ronnie got me as I was
- 00:33:21walking behind P yank slider
- 00:33:29okay maybe my ankles are starting to
- 00:33:31wake
- 00:33:33up good split there there the back door
- 00:33:39slider good
- 00:33:41effort I missed a little bit but I like
- 00:33:44the
- 00:33:45effort oh that was not a good effort
- 00:33:48yeah no backside activation on
- 00:33:51that
- 00:33:53okay whoopsies pretty sure this is not
- 00:33:56going to move but we're going to try
- 00:33:58come back to
- 00:34:00see well that definitely moved I wish I
- 00:34:03could throw that pitch in the game ASB
- 00:34:04if you could throw that in the game no
- 00:34:06one would ever hit it you can throw it
- 00:34:07in catch and you can throw it here but
- 00:34:09when you get in the game it just
- 00:34:11goes sometimes with with a SPL you got
- 00:34:15good movement on it going down but son
- 00:34:19of them got movement going this way you
- 00:34:22you using this you want you do it on
- 00:34:25your own because you want to or some
- 00:34:27sometimes when I the good ones that go
- 00:34:30this way I'm here and I accelerate my
- 00:34:32hand all the way through it and finish
- 00:34:34the pitch the bad ones I like want to
- 00:34:36see it move M and so I rotate and I go I
- 00:34:40stop here and my hand just kind of like
- 00:34:42cuts it instead of like getting all the
- 00:34:44way through the pitch like a fast ball
- 00:34:46when I get through it like a fast ball
- 00:34:48those are the ones that have the the
- 00:34:49good movement it's like it's new and so
- 00:34:52or it's the newest pitch and so I want
- 00:34:54to see it do something and so instead of
- 00:34:57just tring it and throwing it like every
- 00:34:59other pitch the good point that I see is
- 00:35:02the acceleration that you have with them
- 00:35:04you know no one recognize it yeah you
- 00:35:06know what I mean yeah it's another thing
- 00:35:09which is different talking about you
- 00:35:11know the the way you create the movement
- 00:35:13on your wrist yeah you know because I
- 00:35:15used to throw a splitter yeah but
- 00:35:17sometimes I I play with this you know
- 00:35:19against the lefties when you say your
- 00:35:21thumb so you put more pressure with the
- 00:35:23thumb or how and this one okay you and
- 00:35:25that's the one you want to go like to a
- 00:35:26left you put more pressure cuz you want
- 00:35:28to
- 00:35:29go way gotcha interesting okay I'll have
- 00:35:32to play around with that see if it see
- 00:35:35if the thumb thanks espie [ __ ] dude
- 00:35:38jiggly already made his
- 00:35:40debut yeah but he's ready we're going to
- 00:35:42roll with jiggly next outing we'll see I
- 00:35:44think it's jiggly with the red uniforms
- 00:35:46and gold one with the or the teal one
- 00:35:48with the the teal uniforms that's what I
- 00:35:50think I started feeling in the pen I was
- 00:35:52like feeling my right knee a little bit
- 00:35:53because my back foot was so dead that
- 00:35:55when I went to rotate it was all going
- 00:35:57to my knee instead of being like on my
- 00:35:58toe and like rolling that way cuz I
- 00:36:01don't have any like activation in my
- 00:36:03foot oh there we go now we got some
- 00:36:04lights look at my ankle when I try to
- 00:36:06walk on the
- 00:36:07outside see it just like it just like
- 00:36:11caves in doesn't do that on my left I
- 00:36:14can hold it stable this entire part of
- 00:36:16my foot is just like so turned off and
- 00:36:20dead pretty
- 00:36:21[Laughter]
- 00:36:26good no
- 00:36:28splitter you see on
- 00:36:31camera it needs to activate it's dead
- 00:36:35like it's there's no activation in the
- 00:36:37in this part of my foot despite having
- 00:36:39no ability to activate the muscles in my
- 00:36:40feet or my calves or anything really
- 00:36:42below my knee my Bullpen actually went
- 00:36:44okay now I was a little concerned at
- 00:36:46this point but I figured after doing
- 00:36:47some more strenuous activity today my
- 00:36:50body would wake up and be better
- 00:36:52tomorrow so I tried to do some light
- 00:36:54Barefoot jogs and Ankle activations to
- 00:36:56help with this hey C coming
- 00:36:59what when's it going to debut F yeah I
- 00:37:02was so close to thr one in ver Cruz I
- 00:37:05punched the guy out and Thea press
- 00:37:07cutter before the guy got to the plate
- 00:37:09freaked me out I was
- 00:37:12like that's the time you got to be like
- 00:37:14oh he's feeling it I got to rip
- 00:37:18it thank you Yep this guy got a great
- 00:37:21Pace does
- 00:37:24he that's about his dead zone
- 00:37:27bastketball as you can get you're going
- 00:37:28you're going quick I can feel out of the
- 00:37:31out of the stretch just like I can feel
- 00:37:34am going down yeah it's like forward
- 00:37:38before down I
- 00:37:40cut last game here what is that like the
- 00:37:43third or fourth this will be my fourth
- 00:37:45but the third one got rained out after
- 00:37:47three Innings so it doesn't count I'm
- 00:37:49referring to this incident from earlier
- 00:37:50in the season and if you haven't seen it
- 00:37:52you can check out the full video right
- 00:37:53here you do the glove thing again no
- 00:37:57they're manager's gone they fired him
- 00:37:59yeah different manager now I can't even
- 00:38:01get him back you know what I want to
- 00:38:03know is why Sala traded this guy in that
- 00:38:05Piller whatever that one guy was yeah
- 00:38:07the three- hole hitter ryell something
- 00:38:10was a lead up he was he was lead up on
- 00:38:13saltio he's hitting three here tonight
- 00:38:14anyway feel like Sal just cleaned house
- 00:38:17they got rid of everybody right there
- 00:38:18already so that's a baseball odity
- 00:38:20there's this rumor out there that every
- 00:38:22single game a hitter will foul ball off
- 00:38:24and it will go between his legs and
- 00:38:26despite being looked into and disproven
- 00:38:28infinite number of times pun still
- 00:38:31believes it literally has happened by
- 00:38:32the way it literally has happened every
- 00:38:33game as Ronnie as Ronnie literally since
- 00:38:36you've left every single game I've I
- 00:38:38pointed one out I wasn't even out here
- 00:38:40for a lot of the Innings I just come out
- 00:38:41here it happened and it just happened
- 00:38:43right there right now you're one for one
- 00:38:45are you positive that that went between
- 00:38:47his legs 100% it hit his front leg and
- 00:38:49shot backwards all I care about is if
- 00:38:51you throw your slider in the green area
- 00:38:52of this fight it doesn't matter if they
- 00:38:53score 14 runs off it as long as you
- 00:38:55throw your slider right there they're
- 00:38:56happy one thing puns doesn't believe in
- 00:38:58is pitcher heat Maps they look like this
- 00:39:00and basically if you throw the pitch in
- 00:39:02the green area it's better for the
- 00:39:03pitcher and if you throw it in the red
- 00:39:05it's better for the hitter and I'm a big
- 00:39:07believer in pitcher heat Maps but Pon is
- 00:39:09not but if you throw your slider in that
- 00:39:11little green area over the course of a
- 00:39:13season you'll be way better than if you
- 00:39:15don't that way true when I was with
- 00:39:17Tacoma in uh the Mariner system I went
- 00:39:20six Innings one run and out of 100 I got
- 00:39:23a score of seven because I threw 80%
- 00:39:25heaters and Sh I still Shug out seven
- 00:39:27the guy the next day went like four
- 00:39:29Innings five runs and got like a 77 on a
- 00:39:32score because he threw like 60% sliders
- 00:39:34and he hit every area that he was
- 00:39:36supposed to like oh slider on the green
- 00:39:38like they all care and the next game six
- 00:39:40Innings two runs got like a 10 my
- 00:39:43pitching score cuz I threw 70% heaters
- 00:39:45and like mother off speed I didn't throw
- 00:39:47any First Strike but I just blew
- 00:39:49everyone away with heaters and then when
- 00:39:50I started throwing my slider started
- 00:39:52getting like 50 scores by I start giving
- 00:39:53up three four runs in a game like in
- 00:39:552020 I threw like 65% fast balls every
- 00:39:58year I throw 60% plus fast balls and
- 00:40:01against the Miami Marlins I threw 94
- 00:40:03pitches 91 fast balls wa five innings
- 00:40:05one R it was the Miami marins in Miami
- 00:40:08yes but that's still the big Le played
- 00:40:10with San
- 00:40:11Francisco you got

- 00:43:09like that you know there's no fixing
- 00:43:10this fixing this someone's got to look
- 00:43:12at

- 00:43:23crooked oh my God it actually is crooked
- 00:43:26I just I just bent it
- 00:43:27that it can move like that yeah I
- 00:43:30mov over under 12 pitches the in 12 and
- 00:43:34a half over you can't just keep having
- 00:43:36like four or five pitch Innings you know
- 00:43:38I mean if they're smart no well we know
- 00:43:40they're not smart he's going to throw

- 00:43:55right oh oh yes
- 00:43:58winner sick dude that guy despite Brooks
- 00:44:02pitching well we gave up four runs in
- 00:44:03the seventh to lose the game five four
- 00:44:05now we're only a couple weeks from the
- 00:44:07end of the season we still haven't lost
- 00:44:08three in a row so tomorrow's game is
- 00:44:10extra important to keep that streak
- 00:44:11going the key to the pitching delivery
- 00:44:13is literally like this it's a sequence
- 00:44:15of like hip shoulder arm like if you can
- 00:44:17get really good at just doing that like
- 00:44:19what we talking about yeah just like
- 00:44:23that
- 00:44:29it literally feels like from here down
- 00:44:32is paralyzed like I have no ability to
- 00:44:34move it it's like obviously not quite
- 00:44:36that bad but that's what it feels
- 00:44:47like every time I block I go to rotate
- 00:44:50my whole entire leg just opens up like
- 00:44:51this I have no lateral stability in my
- 00:44:53ankle at all so I had hoped that doing
- 00:44:55some activity yesterday would help my
- 00:44:56situation ation but it didn't it just
- 00:44:58made it worse yesterday my right ankle
- 00:45:00was worse than my left today my left
- 00:45:03ankle was worse than my right but my
- 00:45:05right hadn't gotten any better so I was
- 00:45:07definitely going the wrong direction I
- 00:45:08had no clue what was going on I'd never
- 00:45:10felt like this before and I was
- 00:45:12definitely very worried about my start
- 00:45:13tomorrow good news is the rest of my
- 00:45:15body feels loose and good just I have no
- 00:45:19control of the lower
- 00:45:24extremities yeah I have no like
- 00:45:28there's no
- 00:45:32stability we'll be rooting for you
- 00:45:34tomorrow thank you I appreciate it God
- 00:45:36bless you thank you you too did you ever
- 00:45:37do any of that like tip anything it's
- 00:45:40always Rock Solid and I can't like see
- 00:45:43see my leg like I've tore this Achilles
- 00:45:45so I I know a little bit about the leg
- 00:45:47it still don't feel the same how' you
- 00:45:49tear it uh pitching really going to
- 00:45:53cover first oh the first step was out of
- 00:45:56baseball for 3 years working at
- 00:45:58investment firm damn and then I started
- 00:46:00throwing again and started throwing
- 00:46:02harder the Brewers resigned me to draft
- 00:46:04me out of high school and then my second
- 00:46:05start I tore my kills and that was like
- 00:46:08when I came back from baseball I figured
- 00:46:10out how to throw harder I was like I was
- 00:46:11sitting 97 that day yeah I was like this
- 00:46:14is going to be fun I think I'm I was
- 00:46:16like on the rubber like on the Mal disc
- 00:46:17I'm pushed it felt like I got I felt
- 00:46:20like I Ste in a hole and I was I
- 00:46:21realized now in this machine my problems
- 00:46:24are my [ __ ] you just have to jump more
- 00:46:26you have to get get you I'll do plate
- 00:46:28stuff where I put a a plate right here
- 00:46:30and I live and I do like all sorts of
- 00:46:33you know you're here and you hold I'm
- 00:46:36always locked in and now I'm like I
- 00:46:39can't I can't do it it's so it's just in
- 00:46:42the last like three 3 or 4 days I think
- 00:46:45it's probably has something to do with
- 00:46:46the medication or the anesthesia I was
- 00:46:48on it's like partial paralysis below my
- 00:46:50knee it's so weird like gets the hip all
- 00:46:53the way cleared I don't really hit that
- 00:46:55anymore I need to go inside am I being
- 00:46:57am I being am I being kicked out or to
- 00:46:59the hotel because well my plan was to
- 00:47:02watch and then as soon as the inning
- 00:47:03ends like Duck and go in so he didn't
- 00:47:05know I was here but maybe it's just my
- 00:47:06presence I think he just your presence
- 00:47:08just makes him nervous yeah I don't know
- 00:47:10what the [ __ ] is going on right now what

- 00:50:27please thank you earlier in the game I
- 00:50:29tried to get some treatment to help the
- 00:50:30calf and the ankle situation we hooked
- 00:50:32me up to an electrical stim machine and
- 00:50:34use that to get full muscle contraction
- 00:50:36and it worked it was the first time in
- 00:50:38days that I've been able to feel a full
- 00:50:39muscular contraction and it actually
- 00:50:41felt really good so at this point I
- 00:50:42figured that I had solved the problem
- 00:50:44and tomorrow I would be all fixed let's
- 00:50:46get this show on the road let's get on
- 00:50:48out of here get out of here yeah you're
- 00:50:49right we got a six-run lead it's the
- 00:50:52ninth inning and it's raining you got to
- 00:50:55be so stupid
- 00:50:57I'm telling you man I'm I'm I'm afraid
- 00:51:00play off fear
- 00:51:02not we'll be fine who do you think we
- 00:51:04play first round verac Cruz you think
- 00:51:08Tasco qua I bet you we play verac
- 00:51:12Cruz we just break your record what we
- 00:51:16just break your
- 00:51:18record 19 basball 19th based on ball
- 00:51:22today yeah no 19 oh my God it's it's
- 00:51:2711:30 11:30 yeah is it supposed to rain
- 00:51:30tomorrow is it supposed to rain tomorrow
- 00:51:33I think it's going to be the same thing
- 00:51:34as this I better not Pitch like three
- 00:51:36Innings and then get rained out I'm
- 00:51:38going to be furious if that happens we
- 00:51:40won the game 15 to9 to avoid losing
- 00:51:42three in a row for the first time all
- 00:51:44season and now after two long weeks it
- 00:51:46was finally my turn to pitch if I get
- 00:51:48this win I win the Triple Crown
- 00:51:50tonight's game is going to get rained
- 00:51:52out this is what the field looks like
- 00:51:53right now warning track is Turf here but
- 00:51:56in the The Outfield it is uh dirt so
- 00:51:58yeah no game tonight which means I'm not
- 00:52:00going to pitch which creates a lot of
- 00:52:01problems I was supposed to pitch today
- 00:52:03the 25th then again on the 30th and then
- 00:52:05on the fourth to start the first game of
- 00:52:07playoffs I've not pitched in like 15
- 00:52:09days because I was sick so now I'm going
- 00:52:12to pitch tomorrow but that means that
- 00:52:14I'll have to have a short rest start in
- 00:52:16the regular season to get on track for
- 00:52:18playoffs or tomorrow will be my last
- 00:52:20start of the Season neither of those are
- 00:52:23great option also there are three people
- 00:52:25piled up behind me at 9 wins for the
- 00:52:27Triple Crown I have 10 tonight Cesar
- 00:52:29Valdez is pitching so if he gets a win
- 00:52:32then I'll need to get at least one more
- 00:52:34win to win the Triple Crown if he
- 00:52:35doesn't get a win and I get a win
- 00:52:37tomorrow or whenever I pitch next then
- 00:52:39I'll pretty much lock up the Triple
- 00:52:41Crown so that's on the line there's two
- 00:52:43other people inoah and Robert stock
- 00:52:45they're both at nine but Robert pitched
- 00:52:47yesterday and didn't get the win and in
- 00:52:49knowah pitched today and took a loss
- 00:52:51also uh we have a 6-hour drive at least
- 00:52:54back from here in myON to Mexico City
- 00:52:57we'll probably get on the road here
- 00:52:59about 9:20 which means I won't be
- 00:53:00getting in till at least 3:20 in the
- 00:53:02morning which is not ideal for a sleep
- 00:53:04schedule for a start so who knows how
- 00:53:05that's going to go tomorrow and I have
- 00:53:07no idea what the weather is going to be
- 00:53:08like tomorrow in Mexico City I basically
- 00:53:11have no idea when I'm going to pitch
- 00:53:12again I've thrown a total of one start
- 00:53:15in July I've thrown a total of 136
- 00:53:18pitches in July I threw 129 in one game
- 00:53:21against Waka when I struck out 19 by
- 00:53:23comparison now we're worried about my
- 00:53:25workload in reverse because I haven't
- 00:53:28pitched at all in July so I'm basically
- 00:53:29going to go into playoffs when I'm
- 00:53:31expected to throw 110 pitches or so
- 00:53:34every fourth day after not having
- 00:53:36pitched at all in July this whole thing
- 00:53:38is just a giant [ __ ] mess okay not my
- 00:53:41day to pitch uh let's try this again you
- 00:53:44got to be [ __ ] kidding me so I guess
- 00:53:46we're delayed now this ising insane the
- 00:53:49baseball Gods really do not want me to
- 00:53:50pitch oh they do they just want to
- 00:53:52testing you they want to know what you
- 00:53:53made of I've had plenty of test they
- 00:53:55don't know I had a dead I had a deadly
- 00:53:58disease little did I know I was about to
- 00:54:00be tested even
- 00:54:03more my left calf is completely dead
- 00:54:06can't really feel it or use it so this
- 00:54:08thought' be interesting going into the
- 00:54:09game I knew it was going to be a
- 00:54:10disaster and admittedly I was being
- 00:54:14selfish this is not good Kev winning
- 00:54:17this game didn't mean anything for the
- 00:54:18team because we'd already clenched the
- 00:54:19first overall seed in playoffs but it
- 00:54:22meant a lot to me because this win could
- 00:54:24secure me the triple crown and I
- 00:54:25wouldn't be able to live with myself if
- 00:54:27I didn't at least try to get it oh man I
- 00:54:30have no control over my legs from the
- 00:54:32knee down I'm either leg can you do me a
- 00:54:35favor can you grab some of the bullpen
- 00:54:36guys and just let them know to be ready
- 00:54:38cuz I might not make it very long
- 00:54:39tonight all right yeah all right let's
- 00:54:41do it do it okay well the goal is just
- 00:54:43to be able to throw strikes cuz my feet
- 00:54:45feel terrible I have no Landing
- 00:54:52leg first pitch homry huh yep that's
- 00:54:56Alan Hansen now he played in Japan last
- 00:54:58year and I've pitched against him a
- 00:54:59little bit here and there I didn't
- 00:55:00expect him to hit a fast ball away for a
- 00:55:02home run the first pitch I was just
- 00:55:03trying to throw up for a strike not how
- 00:55:05I wanted to start we got to get through
- 00:55:07this I just got to make it five innings
- 00:55:08and I can't give up more than five
- 00:55:09earned runs I did throw a strike though
- 00:55:11so that's good let's see if I can do it
- 00:55:13again maybe this one will go to
- 00:55:19someone okay so missing high arm side is
- 00:55:22cuz of the block leg now mechanically I
- 00:55:24had some serious issues this game I was
- 00:55:26wasn't able to drive off of my backside
- 00:55:28which means my hips weren't able to
- 00:55:30rotate that means when my foot landed in
- 00:55:32the front my block leg had extra work to
- 00:55:34do but I didn't have any stability in my
- 00:55:36block leg ankle so it couldn't do that
- 00:55:38work so my hips basically were inactive
- 00:55:40which means that my torso was not
- 00:55:42rotating to the point where I'm used to
- 00:55:44it rotating and I was leaving a lot of
- 00:55:45balls High into the arm side because of
- 00:55:48these mechanical problems all due to the
- 00:55:49partial paralysis that I had going on
- 00:55:51below my knees
- 00:55:56this is a struggle so now that I'm
- 00:55:58behind 20 I just need to throw a strike
- 00:55:59but I don't have any confidence with my
- 00:56:01off speed stuff cuz I haven't been able
- 00:56:02to calibrate for my new mechanics yet so
- 00:56:04that leaves me in a pretty tough
- 00:56:06position 20 he knows he's going to be
- 00:56:08getting a fast ball I have to throw a
- 00:56:09fast ball and try to throw it in the
- 00:56:11zone and I'm not throwing very hard
- 00:56:12because I can't use my lower half not a
- 00:56:14good
- 00:56:18situation okay late on fast ball cut her
- 00:56:22in
- 00:56:23[Music]
- 00:56:26so after the 20 fast ball away he was a
- 00:56:28little bit late on it so I thought okay
- 00:56:29that one started in the middle and kind
- 00:56:31of ran to the right let me start one in
- 00:56:32the middle and run it to the left maybe
- 00:56:34I can get a cutter in on his hands and
- 00:56:35get a cheap little popup right here and
- 00:56:37you can see the same problem manifesting
- 00:56:38itself on the cutter that I was having
- 00:56:39on the fast ball earlier in the atat
- 00:56:41it's high into the arm side of where I
- 00:56:43would like it to be because I'm not able
- 00:56:44to get my hand out to the normal release
- 00:56:46Point all right we got to get this in
- 00:56:48the
- 00:56:51zone okay please go to someone
- 00:56:56thank
- 00:56:57God that's what tonight's going to be
- 00:56:59about is hoping the ball gets hit to
- 00:57:02someone okay leonus Martine my friend
- 00:57:06but not tonight you're my
- 00:57:07[Music]
- 00:57:08[Applause]
- 00:57:10enemy dude this such a struggle to throw
- 00:57:12strikes right
- 00:57:13[Music]
- 00:57:16now good swing Leo so for the second hit
- 00:57:18in a row I tried to throw a first pitch
- 00:57:20fastball first strike and fell behind 1
- 00:57:22this time though I decided to go with
- 00:57:23the 1 cutter and I threw it right in the
- 00:57:25middle of the zone Le's got a lot of
- 00:57:26homers this year and he usually hits
- 00:57:28those mid-speed pitches in the middle of
- 00:57:30the zone so I got away with one right
- 00:57:31there that was a homer pitch yeah Cur BL
- 00:57:34I like that get the hand
- 00:57:36out so there I'm reminding myself of my
- 00:57:39normal cue which is to get the hand out
- 00:57:41on the curveball meaning try to drive
- 00:57:42the hand as far towards the plate as
- 00:57:45possible only here I wasn't able to
- 00:57:46drive it anywhere close to as far to the
- 00:57:48plate as I normally do because of the
- 00:57:50leg issues and I missed terribly now
- 00:57:52we're behind 21 and I probably have to
- 00:57:54throw a fast ball right here
- 00:57:57[Music]
- 00:58:01yeah unfortunately for me after I'd
- 00:58:03thrown two offs speed pitches that 92
- 00:58:05probably played a little bit faster than
- 00:58:0792 and I just jammed him a little bit
- 00:58:09thank God that went to Canó cuz I cannot
- 00:58:12cover first base tonight either now even
- 00:58:14though this ball is hit to Second it was
- 00:58:15hit towards the right side of the
- 00:58:16infield so my natural instinct was to
- 00:58:18start covering first base and you can
- 00:58:20see on the replay that I just can't run
- 00:58:22I can't feel my feet it feels like I'm
- 00:58:24running with walking boots on and it's
- 00:58:26just not a good situation let's
- 00:58:29swing okay Graal a bunch of homers this
- 00:58:33year nope let's see if we get a fast
- 00:58:36ball away
- 00:58:38here oh go in
- 00:58:42okay I want that call but it's a ball
- 00:58:45and for the third hitter in a row we are
- 00:58:47way behind in the count I'm really just
- 00:58:49struggling to throw the ball anywhere
- 00:58:50close to the zone I'm having my catcher
- 00:58:52set up in the middle I'm not trying to
- 00:58:53be perfect here I'm just trying to throw
- 00:58:55a strike and it is a
- 00:58:59struggle that right there right there
- 00:59:00right there back up stay in
- 00:59:06maybe nice try nice try so when that
- 00:59:08ball was popped up I was really hoping
- 00:59:10that it would stay in play and Pat can
- 00:59:11make a play and get me out of this first
- 00:59:13inning with only one run unfortunately I
- 00:59:15didn't so after throwing the two- out
- 00:59:17cutter that he was a little bit early on
- 00:59:18I decided to slow the speed down a
- 00:59:20little bit see if we can land a slider
- 00:59:26way out in front of that after he was
- 00:59:28way out in front of that I figured I
- 00:59:29could just throw another one and
- 00:59:30hopefully he would just roll it in play
- 00:59:32somewhere and generally that means that
- 00:59:33you're going to get a ground ball if the
- 00:59:35hitter's out in front of it but not
- 00:59:36super out in front of it to miss it
- 00:59:38generally that's a ground ball slider
- 00:59:40again I think throw a competitive
- 00:59:44one Chaser thank you oh my god and I got
- 00:59:48the chase to get the strike out there
- 00:59:50but I was not really happy about it
- 00:59:52normally I'd be like oh Chaser and I'd
- 00:59:54be in a much better mood about getting
- 00:59:56strike out um just so you know I can't
- 00:59:58run so if there's a bunt or something be
- 01:00:01extra aggressive on it cuz I probably
- 01:00:03this yeah I just talked him I can't do a
- 01:00:05calf raise yeah they said that in uh it
- 01:00:08was just your left leg in uh is it
- 01:00:11getting worse it's not getting better if
- 01:00:14this was any other night I would not
- 01:00:16Pitch but Cesar B do won so he's tied at
- 01:00:1810 wins with me and if I can manage to
- 01:00:21get a win tonight at cement a triple
- 01:00:23crown and honestly I might take myself
- 01:00:24out of this game if it gets any worse
- 01:00:27cuz it's almost impossible to throw
- 01:00:29strikes right now and all of this
- 01:00:30against the second best offense in the
- 01:00:32league good think this guy has a 70 ra
- 01:00:35so we should score against him in the
- 01:00:37bottom of the first my team put up two
- 01:00:38runs to give me a 2 to1 lead so now I
- 01:00:40have a chance of getting this win I just
- 01:00:42need to not give up a run here got make
- 01:00:44get four more Innings and not give up a
- 01:00:49run please give me that call I could use
- 01:00:52that yet another hitter where I'm behind
- 01:00:541 out now usually with this swing I
- 01:00:56would see all that movement and all the
- 01:00:58big bat flare and leg kick and
- 01:00:59everything like that now I'd throw some
- 01:01:00timing disruptions in there ID throw
- 01:01:02some Cutters in on the hands some fast
- 01:01:04balls up you probably wouldn't be able
- 01:01:05to get to it but I'm not thinking about
- 01:01:07sequencing at this point of the game I'm
- 01:01:08just thinking about please throw a
- 01:01:09strike and hit it to
- 01:01:13someone okay Chase it up there at 90
- 01:01:16that's about all I got tonight though
- 01:01:20unfortunately so after I got the swing
- 01:01:22on 90 up and in I decided to try a
- 01:01:23timing disruption and that didn't feel
- 01:01:26good my right ankle started to hurt I
- 01:01:27was out of syn mechanically even more
- 01:01:29than I have been all night and I missed
- 01:01:31my spot way above the zone now I'm right
- 01:01:33back behind in the
- 01:01:36count that's his Nitro Zone and I'm
- 01:01:39lucky there and yeah so we've thrown him
- 01:01:42three straight fast balls and now I
- 01:01:44threw him a fourth straight fast ball at
- 01:01:4591 down and in and I'm so lucky that he
- 01:01:49missed that because that should have
- 01:01:50been a homer I don't think I could
- 01:01:52design a better sequence to give up a
- 01:01:54homer than the sequence that I just room
- 01:01:56right there 2 two and maybe I can still
- 01:01:57get an out here that's what's going
- 01:01:59through my head do I go change up here
- 01:02:01or backflip cutter cve Ball's a nice
- 01:02:04choice get the hand
- 01:02:09out I really like dead zone cutter here
- 01:02:11throw it
- 01:02:12[Applause]
- 01:02:20hard thank you now for a routine ground
- 01:02:23ball the first base there's a lot going
- 01:02:25on here so let me explain first I tried
- 01:02:27to throw a backf foot cutter and it was
- 01:02:29nowhere close it was again High to the
- 01:02:31arm side and it missed Up and Away he
- 01:02:33put this ball in play now before this
- 01:02:34inning I had talked to my first baseman
- 01:02:36I'm like hey I can't run and I can't
- 01:02:38cover first base so when this ball was
- 01:02:40grounded to first base my first baseman
- 01:02:41was playing pretty deep in the infield
- 01:02:43so I was trying to get over to cover the
- 01:02:45base anyway now fortunately for me he
- 01:02:47was able to get there before the runner
- 01:02:48cuz I was not able to beat the runner to
- 01:02:50first base when I took my first couple
- 01:02:52steps off the mountain to try to cover
- 01:02:53my left foot was completely dead so I
- 01:02:56stepped on it and stumbled because I
- 01:02:58couldn't feel it then the next step I
- 01:02:59took with my right foot I kicked myself
- 01:03:01in the back of the right calf with my
- 01:03:03left foot cuz it was just completely
- 01:03:04paralyzed and I had no ability to use it
- 01:03:06and then I was trying to run over to
- 01:03:07first base as if I had a walking cast
- 01:03:09boot on each of my legs it was not a
- 01:03:11pretty sight and the people in The
- 01:03:12Dugout noticed it
- 01:03:14immediately all
- 01:03:16good again all good all good see
- 01:03:22see I'm I'm going five innings it's all
- 01:03:25good Let Me Pitch cor Let Me Pitch Let
- 01:03:29Me Pitch I'm finding the
- 01:03:32pitch let me get through five let me
- 01:03:39try now look at that point in the
- 01:03:41mountain visit I knew that I had no
- 01:03:42business pitching this game I was trying
- 01:03:44to get through five and after a couple
- 01:03:46ground balls here and there and couple
- 01:03:47balls going two people I thought maybe I
- 01:03:49could sneak this out let's lead with a
- 01:03:52slider
- 01:03:55so for the first time all game I have
- 01:03:57thrown a first pitch strike and it has
- 01:03:59not ended up in Homer now I'm actually
- 01:04:00ahead in the count which is great I can
- 01:04:02try to sequence a little bit here that
- 01:04:03was a first pitch cutter even though I
- 01:04:05was 81 my cutter velocity was way down
- 01:04:07so it's really hard to differentiate
- 01:04:08between what was the cutter and what was
- 01:04:10the slider my sweeper is usually 81 my
- 01:04:12cutter is usually 88 this game my cutter
- 01:04:14was 81 83 and my sweeper was like 77 to
- 01:04:1780 so it was just all mixing together
- 01:04:20and I just didn't really have the same
- 01:04:21type of sharpness on any of the pitches
- 01:04:23that I'm used to heater here yeah yeah
- 01:04:25slider
- 01:04:27Works yes so there's a slid step sweeper
- 01:04:30off the plate and I get a little check
- 01:04:32swing to go O2 now I have a chance of
- 01:04:34getting this out we got to go there
- 01:04:35again okay
- 01:04:38[Applause]
- 01:04:39down okay now we go heat her
- 01:04:44away so after the O2 slider that missed
- 01:04:47his own by a lot I figured I could use
- 01:04:48that tunnel and try to get a freeze on a
- 01:04:50fast ball down and away unfortunately I
- 01:04:51missed with that fast ball right in the
- 01:04:53middle and he almost put this ball in
- 01:04:54play now reading this swing he hit this
- 01:04:56ball pretty hard and it was barely foul
- 01:04:58so I'm saying okay he's still on about
- 01:05:00fast ball timing I can probably go back
- 01:05:01to a slow pitch here and get a good
- 01:05:05result so one two I tried the slider
- 01:05:07again I went with the slide step but I
- 01:05:09just didn't throw it anywhere close to
- 01:05:10the Zone not close enough to get a swing
- 01:05:12anyway so we're 2 two 22 now originally
- 01:05:15in this count after I'd missed badley
- 01:05:17with some sliders I thought about going
- 01:05:18heater up and in try to get a little pop
- 01:05:20up on the infield in but my catcher
- 01:05:23called a slider and I decided to go with
- 01:05:24it again just trying to throw it for a
- 01:05:26strike hoping to get a ground
- 01:05:28ball get it close to
- 01:05:29[Music]
- 01:05:32Z now I missed my spot again by about 2
- 01:05:34ft but I got the chase so one less out
- 01:05:37that I have to get I'll take it okay my
- 01:05:39right ankle really hurts cuz I can't
- 01:05:41rotate off of it so what was going on
- 01:05:43with my right ankle at this point Well
- 01:05:44normally my foot is planted on the
- 01:05:46ground and then it starts to roll to the
- 01:05:47inside and I go up on my toe and the
- 01:05:49foot turns over tonight I wasn't able to
- 01:05:51do any of that so my foot was just
- 01:05:53dragging off sideways off the mound and
- 01:05:55I was putting a lot of pressure on the
- 01:05:57inside part of my ankle that's going to
- 01:05:59be a pain in the ass tomorrow next up is
- 01:06:01Ruiz and I decided to go with an off
- 01:06:02speed pitch here to try to get a quick
- 01:06:04little first pitch swing rollover I went
- 01:06:06with the
- 01:06:10split yes check that was a good
- 01:06:13pitch wish it was a swing though now
- 01:06:16normally at altitud my split does not
- 01:06:18move that much so I was a little bit
- 01:06:20miscalibrated on where I needed to start
- 01:06:21that pitch not that I had any command of
- 01:06:23where I could start it I was just trying
- 01:06:24to throw it for the middle but that
- 01:06:26actually had some pretty good movement
- 01:06:27it surprised me even in the
- 01:06:32game
- 01:06:34ah okay got to get in the zone here fast
- 01:06:37ball
- 01:06:41away wait on that so after falling
- 01:06:44behind 20 and then throwing a fast ball
- 01:06:46up and away and getting a swing through
- 01:06:47I decided to go back to the fast ball
- 01:06:49cuz he was late on that one I just
- 01:06:50decided to move this one to the inner
- 01:06:51part of the plate hopefully get to the
- 01:06:53hands and get a little broken bat maybe
- 01:06:54a popup
- 01:06:57take that now in a normal game after
- 01:06:58seeing two swing throughs on a fast ball
- 01:07:00and being in a two- two count I would
- 01:07:01just throw another fast ball at the top
- 01:07:03of the zone and hope to get the swing
- 01:07:04through but I didn't have my fast ball
- 01:07:06tonight and I definitely didn't have my
- 01:07:08location back to the change
- 01:07:10[Applause]
- 01:07:14up needed that closer to the plate not
- 01:07:17only did I need that closer to the plate
- 01:07:18I also needed a tunnel down there that
- 01:07:20would actually entice a swing the first
- 01:07:21pitch of this atat started low and ended
- 01:07:23up a ball the second Pitch started low
- 01:07:25and ended up as a ball the next two
- 01:07:26pitches started high and were strikes
- 01:07:28and now I went back to a pitch down that
- 01:07:30started low and ended up as a ball so of
- 01:07:32course I wouldn't expect to get a swing
- 01:07:34out of that now in the game I'm not
- 01:07:36thinking about sequencing at all I'm
- 01:07:37just trying to survive and so my normal
- 01:07:39computer that's going on like okay what
- 01:07:41tunnel do I have what speed do I have
- 01:07:42stuff like that it's malfunctioning 3
- 01:07:45two heater
- 01:07:49[Applause]
- 01:07:51away that should be an
- 01:07:54help thank
- 01:07:56you so 32 I actually make the right
- 01:07:59decision and go back to the fast ball
- 01:08:01and I get exactly what I would have
- 01:08:02gotten had I done it 22 which is a ball
- 01:08:05off the handle a little bit little weak
- 01:08:06Fly ball and we get out of the inning
- 01:08:08now I did start thinking at this point
- 01:08:10like hey my command is coming back a
- 01:08:11little bit like I'm able to throw some
- 01:08:13strikes more consistently I'm making a
- 01:08:15little bit of an adjustment mechanically
- 01:08:17like maybe I'm going to be okay maybe
- 01:08:18I'm going to get through this I still
- 01:08:20need a little bit of cushion for my
- 01:08:21offense though only one thing with the
- 01:08:23left hitters you know I know he's
- 01:08:26playing way his side so you don't have
- 01:08:30to be worried about that much because
- 01:08:32you got first base on second base right
- 01:08:34there can be present but only couple
- 01:08:36steps
- 01:08:39right get out of here ball hell yeah
- 01:08:42[ __ ] yeah there we go on a night like
- 01:08:46tonight where I have nothing this could
- 01:08:48be you know you're a little bit injured
- 01:08:50you have to pitch or you're sick or
- 01:08:52anything like that you know I can't rely
- 01:08:53on my fast ball being 9798 to get me out
- 01:08:55of a jam so what I have to do is I have
- 01:08:57to be really good at reading swings
- 01:09:00understanding the timing of the hitter
- 01:09:01and bouncing all around being
- 01:09:03unpredictable and hope that my defense
- 01:09:06catches the ball for me or I hope that
- 01:09:08the ball gets hit to my defense instead
- 01:09:09of finding gaps we just got to get
- 01:09:10through three more Innings scoreless and
- 01:09:13hope my offense puts up another couple
- 01:09:14this inions to give me a cushion sick
- 01:09:18boy
- 01:09:19Robie going marmo offense is doing their
- 01:09:22part I need to figure out a way to weave
- 01:09:24my way through three innings I feel like
- 01:09:26the cutter is the pitch that's in the
- 01:09:27zone the most give up some hits if you
- 01:09:30just like rip it but at least like you
- 01:09:31can keep yourself in counts with it yeah
- 01:09:33my my worry on that is it's mid-speed
- 01:09:36pitch yeah I mean it's not like great
- 01:09:38for like successful pitching but for
- 01:09:41navigating your way through five it
- 01:09:43might be or like keeping yourself in
- 01:09:45counts we can use it here and there but
- 01:09:46I think on nights like tonight it's
- 01:09:48mostly top and bottom end hopefully that
- 01:09:50you know just the speed difference going
- 01:09:5277 to 90 like keeps them off balance all
- 01:09:55right thank you offense for coming out
- 01:09:58and scoring early and often just hold up
- 01:10:01for my legs so going out for the third
- 01:10:03all the stars were aligning I mean I had
- 01:10:06a 10 to one lead I just had to get
- 01:10:07through three more Innings it's good
- 01:10:09chance their offense was just going to
- 01:10:10quit and shut it down like I already we
- 01:10:12already lost this game so if I wanted to
- 01:10:14get a win to win the Triple Crown I
- 01:10:16could not have a better situation to do
- 01:10:18it let's see how the third
- 01:10:19[Applause]
- 01:10:21goes okay get in the zone Trevor fast
- 01:10:25ball at 89 to start the inning nowhere
- 01:10:27close to the Zone not a good
- 01:10:30start okay now probably going to be
- 01:10:33swinging so cutter okay cutter get the
- 01:10:35ball
- 01:10:36[Applause]
- 01:10:39down 82 cutter after getting the swing
- 01:10:42through on the cutter I was like okay
- 01:10:43this is perfect just throw the slider
- 01:10:45and we'll get an
- 01:10:48out oh please be an
- 01:10:53out that is not what I need I really
- 01:10:56need all those outs saving gra his that
- 01:10:59run will be unearned and I thought that
- 01:11:01run would be unearned but remember
- 01:11:02earlier in the Vlog I mentioned scores
- 01:11:04discretion they counted that as a hit
- 01:11:07somehow I have no idea but if you look
- 01:11:10at the replay the ball clearly would
- 01:11:12have made it to first base well ahead of
- 01:11:14the runner I mean the runner was like
- 01:11:15three or four steps away from first base
- 01:11:17by the time the ball passed my first
- 01:11:18baseman that should be a throwing error
- 01:11:20that should have been one out nobody on
- 01:11:22we'll go slid step here
- 01:11:26get the hand out and that's an 88 mph
- 01:11:30fast ball nowhere close to my target so
- 01:11:32we're going the wrong direction V's
- 01:11:33falling and command is not
- 01:11:36there okay one out cutter at 81 I think
- 01:11:40that was 81 that's good it's just
- 01:11:42terrible to watch but at least we got a
- 01:11:44strike now maybe slider cutter is good I
- 01:11:47like
- 01:11:51that slider actually that was a pretty
- 01:11:54good pitch one one and I have a really
- 01:11:55good tunnel here if I can just get a
- 01:11:57slider a little bit down off the plate I
- 01:11:58probably have a strike
- 01:12:00[Music]
- 01:12:02out unfortunately I missed up with it of
- 01:12:04course cuz I don't have any good command
- 01:12:06and now I'm just trying to get a little
- 01:12:07ground ball on the infield two two and
- 01:12:09to get the ground ball on the infield I
- 01:12:10was just trying to throw a strike in a 2
- 01:12:12two count I didn't want to go 3-2 cuz I
- 01:12:14can't throw a strike on command so I'm
- 01:12:15just trying to land this slider in the
- 01:12:16zone and get a little weak rollover okay
- 01:12:19on the play but
- 01:12:21down thank you can I help you nope
- 01:12:25just looking Window Shopper fortunately
- 01:12:28he took it right down the middle I'm not
- 01:12:29sure exactly why cuz that's like a nuke
- 01:12:31pitch just hanging there right in the
- 01:12:32middle of the Zone but tonight I'm
- 01:12:33taking every out that I can possibly get
- 01:12:36okay so that should be two outs so in my
- 01:12:37head during the game this inning is two
- 01:12:39outs nobody on so if I can get one more
- 01:12:41out that makes all the runs this inning
- 01:12:43unearned that's what I'm thinking in the
- 01:12:44game unfortunately that was not actually
- 01:12:46what was going on because the score
- 01:12:47didn't call the first play an airor he
- 01:12:49called it a hit with a throwing airor to
- 01:12:51move him to Second which changes this
- 01:12:52inning drastically I don't have electric
- 01:12:55shight to give him so we are going to
- 01:12:57start we're going to start off curveball
- 01:12:59nice call I like
- 01:13:01that okay I got to get my hand out more
- 01:13:04on that 74 mph curveball High under the
- 01:13:07arm side my curveball normally sits 78
- 01:13:10plus so definitely down like 4 or 5 mph
- 01:13:12on this curveball tonight my stuff is
- 01:13:14just pathetic so behind 10 I decided to
- 01:13:16go cutter down and in and I actually
- 01:13:18threw a pretty good one even though it
- 01:13:19was 80 mph got the foul ball now I'm 111
- 01:13:21I need to throw a strike here and get to
- 01:13:231 two to have some leverag in in this
- 01:13:25count now do we go change up change up
- 01:13:29yeah nope the reason I thought to go
- 01:13:32change up is I just throw the cutter
- 01:13:33that went this way I figured I'd throw a
- 01:13:34change up that went away from him and
- 01:13:36maybe get a little weed ground ball I
- 01:13:37missed by like 2 ft yet again and now
- 01:13:39we're behind yet again now we got to go
- 01:13:42heater down
- 01:13:46away got to be careful
- 01:13:51here okay I don't mind that and get a
- 01:13:53double play here we'll start a change up
- 01:13:56yeah got to get in the
- 01:13:58zone yep it's a terrible change up but I
- 01:14:02will take the strike okay threw a
- 01:14:04terrible split to get ahead but that's
- 01:14:05fine we're ahead 10 oh if I could just
- 01:14:07land this curveball I'd be in a pretty
- 01:14:08powerful position in this count but I've
- 01:14:10not been able to make the adjustment on
- 01:14:11my curveball every single one that I've
- 01:14:13thrown so far has been in the exact same
- 01:14:15spot High into the arm side the one one
- 01:14:17I just need a strike I got to throw a
- 01:14:19strike here curve ball yeah get the hand
- 01:14:21out try to bounce it
- 01:14:25we first
- 01:14:28okay please catch
- 01:14:31that [ __ ] maybe that walks going to
- 01:14:33score get the ball
- 01:14:38in uh so I executed what I was trying to
- 01:14:41do which is throwing a strike but
- 01:14:42unfortunately this one didn't go to
- 01:14:43someone now that's okay it's going to
- 01:14:45happen I'm going to give up some hits
- 01:14:46I'm going to give up some runs I need an
- 01:14:49out here to make this run unearned so
- 01:14:51the calculus is going on in my head
- 01:14:52right now is that the first guy is an
- 01:14:54error so that won't count as an earned
- 01:14:55run and I should technically have two
- 01:14:57outs in the inning right now so I just
- 01:14:58need to get one more out to make all
- 01:15:00these runs unearned and that protects
- 01:15:01the ra lead anything I have in the tank
- 01:15:03I need right now okay aggressive
- 01:15:06curveball the hand out front throw it
- 01:15:10heart ah [ __ ]
- 01:15:13me ah this is not what I needed that air
- 01:15:15really killed me so I finally executed a
- 01:15:17curveball in the zone which is what I've
- 01:15:19been trying to do all game and of course
- 01:15:21it goes for a little blue pit now this
- 01:15:22is leonis Martin and he should not have
- 01:15:24been swinging a curveball first pitch I
- 01:15:26don't know what he's doing that's not
- 01:15:27what friends do to each other okay four
- 01:15:29runs now in this game one of them is
- 01:15:30earned cuz it was the first pitch Homer
- 01:15:32and I'm thinking to myself all right
- 01:15:34well the guy that was on that scored the
- 01:15:35second run this inning is unearned
- 01:15:37because that was an error which it
- 01:15:38wasn't but that's what I was thinking in
- 01:15:40the game then I should have two outs so
- 01:15:42the next two that have scored have been
- 01:15:43earned so I'm right now thinking I've
- 01:15:45given up three earned runs which is
- 01:15:47getting kind of close to that five
- 01:15:49earned run Milestone that I have to stay
- 01:15:51under so we need to get an out here to
- 01:15:53keep this at three earned runs
- 01:15:57so I chose to start off first pitch
- 01:15:58slider because I'd gotten this guy on
- 01:16:00sliders out of the Zone before so I was
- 01:16:02hoping he'd be aggressive and swing and
- 01:16:03get me ahead in the count but he did
- 01:16:07not right now I finally execute like a
- 01:16:10perfect fast ball and this one was 93
- 01:16:12mph cuz at this point I'm like all right
- 01:16:14if I have anything left in the tank I
- 01:16:16got to dump it right here because a hit
- 01:16:17or a homer here and I've now lost the ra
- 01:16:20lead I'm just trying to throw as hard as
- 01:16:21I can and it's only 93 normally this
- 01:16:23would be like 97 98 but yeah my V's down
- 01:16:26like 5 six miles hour slider
- 01:16:29again yep one two so when a one two
- 01:16:32count I tried to throw slider for Chase
- 01:16:34and get the strikeout the strikeout
- 01:16:35would have been huge for me because in
- 01:16:36my head it would have gotten me what
- 01:16:38should have been three outs in the
- 01:16:39inning and then that would have made all
- 01:16:40the rest of the runs
- 01:16:42unearned two Ball please give me
- 01:16:47two I'm [ __ ] believable man H yeah it
- 01:16:51is all starting to unravel I was hoping
- 01:16:53that would be a double play ball and get
- 01:16:55me out of the inning right there um it
- 01:16:57wasn't and a run
- 01:17:00scored and yeah this is just depressing
- 01:17:04you know that ball should be cut but the
- 01:17:06only the only reason that I came over is
- 01:17:09because the amount of pictures and this
- 01:17:11okay that's the only thing okay regroup
- 01:17:13yourself and get out of the okay you
- 01:17:15okay let's yeah okay so now we're in
- 01:17:18real [ __ ] danger of the ER being an
- 01:17:21issue as we came for a mountain visit
- 01:17:22well time Mountain visit cuz I was
- 01:17:23definitely super annoyed so now here's
- 01:17:25the situation it's 10 to 5 in my head
- 01:17:27I've given up four earned runs and I had
- 01:17:29five to spare but on the board it's
- 01:17:31showing that I'm no longer lead an eray
- 01:17:33because unbeknownst to me they' not
- 01:17:34called the first play of this inning an
- 01:17:35error so now I'm thinking okay maybe I
- 01:17:38can get the score to change some of
- 01:17:39these around cuz changing either one of
- 01:17:41those plays to an error gets me out of
- 01:17:43this inning and maintains my ra lead but
- 01:17:45in the game I still got to find a way to
- 01:17:46get out of this inning because I still
- 01:17:48need to make it five innings to record
- 01:17:50the win so this is just like stuck
- 01:17:52between a rock and a hard place here so
- 01:17:55here I'm just trying to throw the ball
- 01:17:56as hard as I can because I'm trying to
- 01:17:58empty anything that I have in the tank I
- 01:17:59get the first pitch fast ball up and in
- 01:18:01for a foul ball I'm ahead 01 I tried to
- 01:18:03go right back there and maybe get a
- 01:18:05popup but for the next two pitches I
- 01:18:06missed poorly and I fell right back
- 01:18:08behind in the count so now I'm in a
- 01:18:10pickle two one I don't really have
- 01:18:11confidence in my off speed stuff I got
- 01:18:13to throw a fast ball for a strike to a
- 01:18:15fast ball hitter after he's seen three
- 01:18:17fast balls this is not
- 01:18:21good and I threw the fast ball in about
- 01:18:23the worst possible location you could
- 01:18:25more over the plate more hitable after
- 01:18:27being up and in three pitches in a row
- 01:18:29this fast ball is going to appear slower
- 01:18:31to The Hitter it's going to be more
- 01:18:32hitable plus it's down in the zone where
- 01:18:34you can get his Bat to it and of course
- 01:18:35I don't get lucky and it doesn't go to
- 01:18:37someone and yeah I'm now no longer
- 01:18:40leading the ra so at this point on the
- 01:18:42mountain I'm feeling quite depressed
- 01:18:44because I'm pretty sure I've lost the
- 01:18:45Triple Crown now I know I'm not going to
- 01:18:47be getting my win cuz at this point
- 01:18:49there's no way I'm going to make it
- 01:18:50through five innings I'm just trying to
- 01:18:51get out of this one and hope that the
- 01:18:52ball goes to someone
- 01:18:58so I chose to throw a first pitch slider
- 01:19:00to the next hitter and honestly for a
- 01:19:02first pitch slider that's not a bad
- 01:19:03pitch it's away it is a little bit
- 01:19:04elevated I get the ground ball but of
- 01:19:06course not my night and it doesn't go to
- 01:19:08someone and that spelled the end for my
- 01:19:12outing all
- 01:19:15right see my right
- 01:19:18ankles your
- 01:19:19[Music]
- 01:19:22ankle so here's how the night ended out
- 01:19:24we ended up winning the game which is
- 01:19:26good I was charged with two in third
- 01:19:28Innings seven earned runs if one of
- 01:19:30those plays at third was changed to an
- 01:19:32error I still would lead in erra and I
- 01:19:35would be tied for the league lead in
- 01:19:36wins so I would still be in line to win
- 01:19:38the Triple Crown Cesar Valdez had one
- 01:19:40more start but it happened to be against
- 01:19:42us and when he made that start we ended
- 01:19:44up winning that game seven to nothing so
- 01:19:46had I not pitched in this game I still
- 01:19:48would have won the Triple Crown I'm
- 01:19:50still proud of myself for going out
- 01:19:51there and trying but kind of a cruel
- 01:19:52twist of fate to know that I would have
- 01:19:54won it had I not pitched if you want to
- 01:19:56know what was actually going on I find
- 01:19:58out in the next Vlog and it's pretty
