  • 00:00:00
    they say winning cures everything but in
  • 00:00:02
    this case winning actually cost me
  • 00:00:03
    everything let me set the stage for you
  • 00:00:05
    I need to record one win and maintain my
  • 00:00:07
    lead in the ra title to win the Triple
  • 00:00:09
    Crown and that should be easy because I
  • 00:00:11
    have five starts left to do it and I'm
  • 00:00:13
    way ahead in the ra title but well let
  • 00:00:16
    me just show you what happened the week
  • 00:00:17
    started normally with some day after
  • 00:00:19
    start conversation let say we go five
  • 00:00:23
    yesterday oh I'm definitely snaking that
  • 00:00:25
    win you get the win for that score is
  • 00:00:27
    discretion I think but apparently the
  • 00:00:29
    rule is Kev was looking this up that if
  • 00:00:31
    a game only goes five the starter has to
  • 00:00:33
    go four to get the win but I don't know
  • 00:00:35
    how that's possible cuz I threw more
  • 00:00:37
    than half of the official game so the
  • 00:00:39
    rule I think is at least in MLB is that
  • 00:00:41
    you have to go if a game only goes five
  • 00:00:43
    innings you have to go four Innings to
  • 00:00:44
    be eligible the start has to go four to
  • 00:00:46
    be eligible for the win either way could
  • 00:00:48
    do whatever they want the score can
  • 00:00:51
    always do whatever they want there's no
  • 00:00:52
    rules well one game this year they gave
  • 00:00:54
    me four earned runs then they changed it
  • 00:00:56
    to two then they changed it to one and
  • 00:00:58
    then a week later they changed it back
  • 00:00:59
    to two they can do that apparently yeah
  • 00:01:02
    scor is discretion it's going to be a
  • 00:01:04
    Hot Topic this week is there a new guy
  • 00:01:06
    we're getting a new guy on the 15th but
  • 00:01:07
    he hasn't pitched since winter Ball but
  • 00:01:08
    he's a starter I think Eric should
  • 00:01:10
    actually train to try to hit homers like
  • 00:01:12
    to be able to consistently hit homers
  • 00:01:14
    not to just like [ __ ] around and every
  • 00:01:17
    once in 30 swings hit a cage Homer and
  • 00:01:19
    then just cut all the the misses out you
  • 00:01:22
    know I want to be fair to Eric he did
  • 00:01:24
    throw a 26lb kettle bell as hard as he
  • 00:01:27
    could and tore his UCL completely so he
  • 00:01:31
    has no UCL well that was when he was
  • 00:01:33
    done playing and he's like started his
  • 00:01:35
    Fu around and just do crazy [ __ ] Twitter
  • 00:01:37
    escapades finger training also helps I
  • 00:01:40
    don't know how much finger training you
  • 00:01:41
    do but we could test that out we can
  • 00:01:42
    test it I'm very curious I've done none
  • 00:01:44
    of it if you look at everybody's release
  • 00:01:46
    this knuckle here is straight and the
  • 00:01:48
    top one is bent so the more elasticity
  • 00:01:51
    and like pressure you can apply there
  • 00:01:53
    the stiffer that can be the more the
  • 00:01:55
    ball's going to like flick off the
  • 00:01:57
    fingers I used to average like 20 High
  • 00:01:59
    22s on my fast ball like early 201s and
  • 00:02:03
    then I started my finger training in
  • 00:02:05
    2018 or 19 and then by 20 well now my
  • 00:02:09
    average is like 2450 so I bumped like
  • 00:02:12
    200 RPM naturally that ever gets out
  • 00:02:14
    about the fingertip training like well
  • 00:02:16
    it's also so like this knuckle is for
  • 00:02:17
    Tommy John like you if you train this
  • 00:02:19
    knuckle it helps with Tommy John
  • 00:02:20
    preventing it and if you train this one
  • 00:02:22
    it's for performance so I have like my
  • 00:02:24
    Hang block that I have I don't know if
  • 00:02:25
    you ever seen me like I'm thinking like
  • 00:02:27
    a rock climber it's exactly what it is
  • 00:02:29
    it's different depths it's a wood block
  • 00:02:31
    it has like different depths for your
  • 00:02:32
    fingers like some of them are only like
  • 00:02:34
    this
  • 00:02:35
    deep Kev do you have your phone yeah can
  • 00:02:38
    I borrow it for a second all right throw
  • 00:02:40
    a
  • 00:02:44
    cutter did I get it no I got to do it
  • 00:02:48
    higher that one out behind it yes you
  • 00:02:51
    were see how you can see the whole back
  • 00:02:53
    of your hand right here mhm we need to
  • 00:02:55
    see the thumb side of your hand so
  • 00:02:57
    you're coming through it like this this
  • 00:03:00
    so that's why you're getting the Back
  • 00:03:01
    Spin when you need to see this
  • 00:03:04
    part yeah but don't like break in front
  • 00:03:07
    of it like a slider like this and then I
  • 00:03:10
    have to be able to release into a
  • 00:03:12
    pronation just just release it straight
  • 00:03:15
    like this just straight down the side of
  • 00:03:16
    the
  • 00:03:19
    ball that's the one that you want that's
  • 00:03:22
    what I just threw yeah you want that
  • 00:03:24
    zero depth right yeah well I mean I I
  • 00:03:26
    want it to yeah a little bit more on the
  • 00:03:28
    side and then the last thing that need
  • 00:03:30
    more side a little bit more side this is
  • 00:03:32
    fine see how you can see where the seams
  • 00:03:34
    are rotating around it's on the left
  • 00:03:36
    part of the ball so if this is straight
  • 00:03:37
    it's pointed like this a little bit so
  • 00:03:39
    it's going to have a little bit of
  • 00:03:40
    backspin to it if you want to get zero
  • 00:03:42
    depth you need to get it straight or
  • 00:03:44
    even the front of the ball slightly up
  • 00:03:45
    so you just need a little bit
  • 00:03:48
    more yeah so see how you're attacking it
  • 00:03:50
    on the side and at the end you're
  • 00:03:51
    pulling down yeah that still has a
  • 00:03:53
    little bit of cut to it this attack is
  • 00:03:55
    good and then right at the end instead
  • 00:03:57
    of carrying that attack through you see
  • 00:03:58
    how your hand turns to get behind the
  • 00:04:00
    ball I have to stay here longer yeah I
  • 00:04:02
    don't know if I can you stay there
  • 00:04:04
    longer with your cutter like this the
  • 00:04:06
    whole time and then yeah here let me let
  • 00:04:08
    me throw one real
  • 00:04:09
    quick so my hand's turning over later
  • 00:04:12
    you're further up in front of the ball
  • 00:04:14
    my fingers are back here on the seam
  • 00:04:15
    right so I'm I'm staying here longer and
  • 00:04:18
    then my hand turns later I'm throwing
  • 00:04:20
    mine here you're like here you can
  • 00:04:23
    almost see the white you can see the
  • 00:04:24
    white like here on your hand the grip
  • 00:04:26
    doesn't matter it's the hand orientation
  • 00:04:28
    so when you're releasing the ball if
  • 00:04:29
    your hand is getting to here before the
  • 00:04:32
    ball's out it's of course going to put
  • 00:04:34
    that axis with Back Spin on it yeah and
  • 00:04:36
    that's why you're getting the five vert
  • 00:04:37
    so you got to carry this longer and just
  • 00:04:40
    carry this all the way through your
  • 00:04:41
    hand's naturally going to turn but you
  • 00:04:43
    got to think about carrying that all the
  • 00:04:44
    way through till the ball's out of your
  • 00:04:47
    hand you're still behind so it still has
  • 00:04:50
    that cut that true cutter spin which is
  • 00:04:52
    going to give you the lift but I feel
  • 00:04:53
    like I moved up there and I feel like I
  • 00:04:55
    was able to pull down
  • 00:04:57
    better that one looked correct live yeah
  • 00:05:01
    that's
  • 00:05:02
    it see that still still break early
  • 00:05:05
    though see the Dot's dead in the center
  • 00:05:07
    though see the ball's already off your
  • 00:05:08
    thumb ball slips off your thumb right
  • 00:05:11
    there and you can see your fingers are
  • 00:05:13
    still contacting the outer like the very
  • 00:05:15
    edge of the ball the next frame the ball
  • 00:05:17
    rolls and your hand turns but the ball's
  • 00:05:20
    already gone and the dot straight out
  • 00:05:21
    and the dots straight out that's the one
  • 00:05:23
    that's going to go zero vert and like
  • 00:05:25
    four horizontal that's what I want right
  • 00:05:27
    so things today seem pretty normal I was
  • 00:05:29
    doing a little bit of complaining Eric
  • 00:05:30
    caught a stray I was helping some
  • 00:05:31
    teammates with some baseball stuff but
  • 00:05:33
    my stomach was feeling a little bit off
  • 00:05:36
    H it's probably nothing the strike three
  • 00:05:38
    on the cutter was a good 8 in off the
  • 00:05:43
    plate inside if the plate was the
  • 00:05:44
    Batters box line it was probably stillo
  • 00:05:45
    a ball and it was inside
  • 00:05:48
    too it was cutter kind of Crossfire from
  • 00:05:50
    a lefty but it's foring but I think it's
  • 00:05:53
    C 93 is not bad from left side guy last
  • 00:05:56
    night that came in the relieve through
  • 00:05:59
    93 also but didn't throw any fast balls
  • 00:06:02
    I'm firmly convinced the harder you
  • 00:06:04
    throw the less fast balls you should
  • 00:06:05
    throw Edwin Diaz like 60% slider now I
  • 00:06:08
    think your hair looks good it's the best
  • 00:06:10

    actually gone

    down no way now right it was an 88 when

    he came into
  • 00:09:15

  • 00:09:20
    first so one and two3 with three runs I
  • 00:09:23
    mean that's more than a 9 unless they

  • 00:09:28
    [Music]
  • 00:09:30
    thank you all for coming I would uh I
  • 00:09:32
    would like to address the defamatory
  • 00:09:34
    comments made about my outing in Trevor
  • 00:09:37
    Andrew Bow's most recent vlog in regards
  • 00:09:39
    to my jog into the game want the people
  • 00:09:42
    to know that I was curled around my
  • 00:09:45
    toilet less than 48 hours before that
  • 00:09:47
    game my fast ball reading at 89 for a
  • 00:09:51
    change up that was actually a cutter not
  • 00:09:53
    a good one but still a cutter the two
  • 00:09:55
    out walk uh and that not being able to
  • 00:09:58
    happen yeah was absolutely right there
  • 00:10:00
    need to be better the crack of the bat
  • 00:10:03
    that was added in to that outing was
  • 00:10:06
    actually a ground out by Robinson Canó
  • 00:10:09
    and I am super happy to have gotten him
  • 00:10:11
    out cuz I grew up a huge fan of his to
  • 00:10:13
    address the four hits that I allowed
  • 00:10:15
    ground ball a jam shot off the hands a
  • 00:10:18
    blooper off the end of the bat which I'm
  • 00:10:20
    not going to say it should have been
  • 00:10:21
    caught but I'm also not going to say
  • 00:10:23
    that it should have dropped and then you
  • 00:10:25
    got another Jam shot off the hands that
  • 00:10:28
    you know flipped over the infield the
  • 00:10:29
    8.8 erra uh no comment and in summary I
  • 00:10:34
    came in gave up one hard hit ground ball
  • 00:10:37
    on a grounder in 10 hitters I need to
  • 00:10:40
    punch more tickets no more questions no
  • 00:10:42
    more questions that's all I came here to
  • 00:10:44
    say and that's my
  • 00:10:45
    piece and that was the most interesting
  • 00:10:47
    thing about this game we won 18 to1 but
  • 00:10:50
    since the rain canceled my game last
  • 00:10:52
    night and kept me from getting my win to
  • 00:10:53
    secure the Triple Crown we had another
  • 00:10:55
    game to play today and our veteran
  • 00:10:57
    catcher Francisco Cordova who had been
  • 00:10:59
    on injured list for a couple months hit
  • 00:11:00
    a homer and had the walk-off hit to win
  • 00:11:02
    the game for us in Extra Innings and if
  • 00:11:04
    you're wondering why it's Extra Innings
  • 00:11:05
    but it's only the eighth inning well
  • 00:11:07
    double headers in Mexico are two seven
  • 00:11:08
    inning games not two n inning
  • 00:11:17
    games mentioned that you going to fly on
  • 00:11:20
    Sunday they talk to you about it yeah Lo
  • 00:11:22
    text me yeah because because uh we're
  • 00:11:25
    going to get in the next day kind of
  • 00:11:27
    late they just really don't want me to
  • 00:11:29
    see you pitch yeah the one time you did
  • 00:11:32
    I did terrible please I well they wanted
  • 00:11:34
    me to travel back to Mexico City before
  • 00:11:36
    that game I was like no I want to see
  • 00:11:37
    Pawn's pitch so I'm going to stay so it
  • 00:11:39
    was your fault I stunk in PUO yeah I'm
  • 00:11:43
    not taking the blame on that one so I
  • 00:11:44
    [ __ ] up I can't blame them cuz I
  • 00:11:46
    didn't I didn't see in Vera Cruz you
  • 00:11:48
    punched 11 I didn't see in keto and you
  • 00:11:50
    did well I'm not going to see you this
  • 00:11:51
    Sunday so we'll see if the uh we'll see
  • 00:11:53
    if it holds I just won't show up for
  • 00:11:55
    your starts it'll be written that I'm a
  • 00:11:56
    terrible teammate for that but really
  • 00:11:58
    it's me trying to help you say's a good
  • 00:12:01
    teammate on on camera you'll get
  • 00:12:03
    canceled for that he's a great teammate
  • 00:12:04
    as long as he's not around last night
  • 00:12:07
    woke up like four times throughout the
  • 00:12:08
    night splitting headache really bad
  • 00:12:10
    stomach issues had to use the restroom
  • 00:12:12
    like six different times sweated through
  • 00:12:14
    my sheets I got to pitch because as it
  • 00:12:17
    stands right now Cesar Valdez is one win
  • 00:12:19
    behind me but he pitches Sunday if he
  • 00:12:21
    wins that game we're tied on wins which
  • 00:12:22
    means I'm no longer winning the trival
  • 00:12:24
    crown so I have to make my next start on
  • 00:12:26
    Monday regardless of how I feel sit in
  • 00:12:28
    the sauna for approximately 10 hours see
  • 00:12:30
    if I can sweat all this [ __ ] out
  • 00:12:32
    literally and uh metaphorically so last
  • 00:12:35
    game wasn't actually a game I went three
  • 00:12:37
    Innings my command kind of let me down
  • 00:12:39
    cuz I think I was starting to get sick
  • 00:12:41
    and I didn't sleep well the night before
  • 00:12:42
    my start but I went three Innings struck
  • 00:12:44
    out four gave up two hits and one run
  • 00:12:48
    then the rain came and canceled the game
  • 00:12:50
    so none of that counted but uh overall
  • 00:12:52
    my stuff was pretty good actually and my
  • 00:12:54
    next start is in Cancun at sea level I
  • 00:12:57
    haven't gotten a pitch at sea level in
  • 00:12:58
    like a month and a half so I'm excited
  • 00:13:00
    to uh have my stuff actually mooved
  • 00:13:03
    pitch what I would consider a normal
  • 00:13:04
    baseball game and low did say that I get
  • 00:13:06
    100 pitches next outing instead of my
  • 00:13:07
    hard cap of 85 so uh hey Paul can you
  • 00:13:10
    cue the ominous music here to foreshadow
  • 00:13:13
    impending doom please I love how Yak is
  • 00:13:15
    like 200 ft away right now signaling
  • 00:13:17
    fast ball and change up to me as if it's
  • 00:13:18
    going to make any difference by the time
  • 00:13:20
    it gets to me what pitch type it was I
  • 00:13:22
    appreciate it though let's try to throw
  • 00:13:25
    a split like to my cat play partner how
  • 00:13:27
    about that
  • 00:13:30
    there we
  • 00:13:36
    go you're a little behind still behind
  • 00:13:39
    it you're not holding the the football
  • 00:13:40
    quite long enough I feel like I'm
  • 00:13:42
    pushing it like that you just got to
  • 00:13:43
    hold that superation the whole way
  • 00:13:47
    through that was right that was right
  • 00:13:49
    the hand was right it's just you were
  • 00:13:50
    kind of pulling across instead of
  • 00:13:52
    directing It Forward little behind it
  • 00:13:54
    but it was better than the early ones
  • 00:13:56
    yeah I feel like I like the way that
  • 00:13:58
    felt this is the last last one you threw
  • 00:13:59
    and you can see your hand sneaking
  • 00:14:01
    behind the ball yeah but this is the one
  • 00:14:03
    before that you threw kind of down the
  • 00:14:04
    one that went straight down
  • 00:14:06
    yeah and you can see your hand on the
  • 00:14:09
    side go can you go back to the right at
  • 00:14:10
    the tip I feel like it's just better if
  • 00:14:12
    I could get my fingers closer to the
  • 00:14:14
    front of the ball yeah cuz then it helps
  • 00:14:16
    me keep on the side longer cuz my hand
  • 00:14:18
    automatically wants to FR yeah you want
  • 00:14:20
    to go that way it wants to go quick so I
  • 00:14:22
    think I need to work my way here cuz
  • 00:14:23
    anytime I'm here then I just get behind
  • 00:14:25
    it then I push if you can get that if
  • 00:14:27
    you can hold that it'll be money
  • 00:14:29
    it's just you automatically want to turn
  • 00:14:31
    and go there CU of the fast ball when I
  • 00:14:33
    want to like drive my arm my arm has to
  • 00:14:35
    like turn this way I don't know why I
  • 00:14:36
    cannot in my head I'm trying to like
  • 00:14:38
    throw it like that through them yeah but
  • 00:14:40
    I can't keep it yeah I think when you
  • 00:14:43
    think like cut the ball you think about
  • 00:14:46
    kind of like doing something on the back
  • 00:14:48
    side of it CU your your hand is on the
  • 00:14:50
    back side of fast ball that's how yeah
  • 00:14:52
    that's how I throw everything as opposed
  • 00:14:53
    to just thinking that like you're just
  • 00:14:55
    going to stay it's like you're slicing
  • 00:14:57
    it with a knife almost just down The
  • 00:14:59
    Edge like you're just staying there I
  • 00:15:01
    get I could I could picture it like I
  • 00:15:03
    need to to like drive this like that
  • 00:15:06
    straight through them like that but I
  • 00:15:07
    cannot me like I cannot physically keep
  • 00:15:09
    that right could you sign my heart toy
  • 00:15:14
    yeah it's good box whatever you want
  • 00:15:17
    okay I like this that a little earring
  • 00:15:20
    as well and it's like a limited edition
  • 00:15:22
    only uh a th000 pieces only a th000
  • 00:15:25
    pieces all right well I better not screw
  • 00:15:26
    this signature up then let's go right
  • 00:15:28

  • 00:15:38
    me that's [ __ ] up now you pissed me
  • 00:15:41
    off so you're going to get less than 10
  • 00:15:44
    hits hey you going to take that video
  • 00:15:46
    out when you're asking qua how many he
  • 00:15:49
    you want me to cut it out no no no I
  • 00:15:52
    want the video okay I'll put a Twitter
  • 00:15:54
    poll with Diablos who would get more
  • 00:15:57
    hits see what the fans say how many hits

  • 00:16:13
    going to hit a hit and I'm going
  • 00:16:15
    do all right your pregame warmup like Le
  • 00:16:19
    right now do you go through all your
  • 00:16:20
    pitches or do you only go fast in pre-
  • 00:16:22
    inning yeah fre
  • 00:16:23
    inning I go all fast balls every now and
  • 00:16:26
    then I'll throw like one other pitch
  • 00:16:27
    type but I don't want to cross the
  • 00:16:29
    feeling of like 50% throw on a cutter
  • 00:16:32
    and then try to throw it 100% next you
  • 00:16:38
    know I really appreciate that the
  • 00:16:40
    pitcher it is 10 to one in the seventh
  • 00:16:43
    and he's laying out to save me a hit
  • 00:16:45
    look at his strike the ball ratio he's
  • 00:16:47
    thrown 12 balls
  • 00:16:49
    [Music]

    [Music]
  • 00:17:44
    yet know right oh well can you see out
  • 00:17:47
    of that
  • 00:17:48
    um you can wrestle in this you can pitch
  • 00:17:51
    in this you know I'm used to playing
  • 00:17:52
    catch with one eye closed so I have two
  • 00:17:54
    eyes open right now but it's basically
  • 00:17:56
    like having one eye it'll be a nice
  • 00:17:57
    challenging Bullpen for me if you're
  • 00:17:59
    wondering what the hell I'm wearing on
  • 00:18:00
    my head it's a Lucha Libre mask given to
  • 00:18:02
    me by Euphoria to commemorate my 19th
  • 00:18:04
    strikeout game I got to meet him a
  • 00:18:06
    couple days ago and he gifted me this
  • 00:18:07
    mask so today I'm wearing it in his
  • 00:18:09
    honor I'm still in a pretty good mood
  • 00:18:10
    despite my stomach feeling progressively
  • 00:18:16
    worse Beauty over comfort ponts you
  • 00:18:19
    should know that beauty over Comfort
  • 00:18:21
    because it looks like you can't see [ __ ]
  • 00:18:24
    we'll see how much I can see in my
  • 00:18:25
    Bullpen what's your top mhm
  • 00:18:29
    102 you hit 102 it's [ __ ] tight I'm
  • 00:18:33
    jealous I got to figure out how to hit
  • 00:18:35
    hit 100 soon cuz kind of want to retire
  • 00:18:37
    but I can't retire till I hit 100 you
  • 00:18:39
    got a 99 this yeah couple of them start
  • 00:18:42
    with the mask on if I could pitch with
  • 00:18:44
    this on I would do it it would be
  • 00:18:46
    electric hold on let's secure Triple
  • 00:18:48
    Crown first and then ask for permission
  • 00:18:51
    your last part well here's the problem
  • 00:18:53
    I'm going to be tied in winds by the
  • 00:18:55
    time I have my next start and I feel
  • 00:18:56
    like [ __ ] my stomach is crappy getting
  • 00:18:59
    sick normally I would not Pitch cuz I
  • 00:19:02
    haven't eaten in two days and whatever I
  • 00:19:04
    kind of need to get this win but I also
  • 00:19:05
    can't give up more than like three runs
  • 00:19:08
    cuz I got to win the ra too so I'm
  • 00:19:10
    really up against it Zack grz at 235
  • 00:19:14
    Zack Gros groz is it groz yeah is he is
  • 00:19:18
    he good pitch is good he's got a 235 he
  • 00:19:21
    hasn't given up a run like a month Jack
  • 00:19:24
    video yeah I haven't had a chance to
  • 00:19:26
    watch it it though I was on the toilet
  • 00:19:28
    too much much this morning my pants
  • 00:19:29
    turned brown in the middle of my pen
  • 00:19:31
    let's just cut that part
  • 00:19:33
    out got him than
  • 00:19:38
    you my body feels loose probably because
  • 00:19:40
    all the uh Tylenol and ibuprofen I'm on
  • 00:19:43
    thankfully it's not uh too hot where I'm
  • 00:19:45
    sweating like crazy cuz this mask would
  • 00:19:46
    definitely make me sweat shout out to
  • 00:19:48
    Euphoria for the mask thank you I love
  • 00:19:50
    it so one thing I've noticed so far
  • 00:19:52
    throwing the mask is there's this little
  • 00:19:54
    strobe effect cuz there's little holes
  • 00:19:55
    poked in the eyes so my depth perception
  • 00:19:57
    is a little bit off not bad enough where
  • 00:19:59
    I can't see the ball but definitely
  • 00:20:00
    challenging the eyesight this is going
  • 00:20:02
    to be good for my pen because it's going
  • 00:20:04
    to be a new stimulus for my eyes trying
  • 00:20:06
    to track the Target and for a day where
  • 00:20:08
    i'm not feeling great it's probably good
  • 00:20:09
    to challenge myself in that way I was
  • 00:20:10
    talking to one of my buddies the other
  • 00:20:12
    day and he was like Hey does locking
  • 00:20:14
    your eyes on the target helps Sy up your
  • 00:20:16
    mechanics I just threw the best pen of
  • 00:20:18
    my life and my only focus was seeing the
  • 00:20:20
    Target and my mechanics felt great I was
  • 00:20:23
    like yeah if you lock your eyes on the
  • 00:20:24
    Target and try to throw as hard as
  • 00:20:26
    possible your mechanics will all sink up
  • 00:20:33
    oh got
  • 00:20:34
    him get you okay
  • 00:20:38
    yes good

  • 00:20:44
    away little down
  • 00:20:48
    cutter there we go eyesight is

    goish right there yeah just a little
  • 00:21:05
    paint job away thank you top rope just
  • 00:21:10
    you think it would freak out the hitters
  • 00:21:11
    if they saw me and if they didn't think
  • 00:21:13
    that I could see you would just for
  • 00:21:15
    bigger hat that was one of the better
  • 00:21:17
    bull pins I've thrown so I got a pitch
  • 00:21:18
    in this you know here look look we get
  • 00:21:21
    size eight a size eight hat holy cow it
  • 00:21:25
    looks good right last year
  • 00:21:29
    take us out of it it's separated by 172
  • 00:21:32
    to 22 and a half so separated by five
  • 00:21:34
    games from 2nd to 7th 34 and seven
  • 00:21:37
    against teams that are above 500 there's
  • 00:21:39
    one other team in the league that has a
  • 00:21:41
    that has a winning record against above
  • 00:21:43
    500 teams well you missed quite the
  • 00:21:45
    inning well no I saw in the TVs there
  • 00:21:47
    wild pinch and
  • 00:21:49
    everything we're leaving Miguel is like
  • 00:21:52
    we're winning and I was like
  • 00:21:58
    trying to get me to get to Pella you got
  • 00:22:00
    to clean your forehead
  • 00:22:05
    dude and let me see
  • 00:22:08
    it it's the most regular haircut I've
  • 00:22:11
    ever seen would you do one size here and
  • 00:22:13
    then one size there it's not as drastic
  • 00:22:15
    as yours I didn't keep the top as
  • 00:22:17
    long
  • 00:22:19
    I I can
  • 00:22:21
    tell looks at other guy's hair more than
  • 00:22:24
    he looks at the glove when he's pitching
  • 00:22:25
    how's my how's my hair
  • 00:22:27
    doing looking all right clear the
  • 00:22:29
    Sideburn a little bit sit down yep
  • 00:22:32
    Ronnie and I have been talking about
  • 00:22:34
    mechanics recently and we stumbled Upon
  • 00:22:35
    A queue that he really likes nice dude
  • 00:22:37
    feel so much better bro with that great
  • 00:22:40
    cuz I can I can feel everything even
  • 00:22:42
    when I know when I'm going to throw a
  • 00:22:43
    bad pitch that's why I go ah before he
  • 00:22:45
    was counter rotating his hip and his
  • 00:22:46
    shoulders in the drift and drop phase
  • 00:22:48
    trying to get into his hip because he'
  • 00:22:50
    been taught that that's what makes you
  • 00:22:51
    powerful cuz I can feel yeah before it
  • 00:22:54
    was like I'm fighting fighting I don't
  • 00:22:55
    feel anything now but really what it
  • 00:22:57
    does is delay rotation and guarantee
  • 00:22:59
    that your hips and your shoulders rotate
  • 00:23:01
    at the same time I threw everything to
  • 00:23:02
    the pl if I pull off I know it I can
  • 00:23:04
    correct it everything seemed much more
  • 00:23:06
    direct and like just pure strikes just
  • 00:23:08
    like here and then the sliders were
  • 00:23:10
    middle and breaking off not like yanked
  • 00:23:11
    so what we discovered is if he thought
  • 00:23:13
    about keeping his shoulders a little bit
  • 00:23:14
    more open at the start of his delivery
  • 00:23:15
    two things happened one he could see the
  • 00:23:17
    target the whole time so he felt like
  • 00:23:19
    his command and his direction to the
  • 00:23:20
    plate was a lot better and it was two
  • 00:23:23
    his mechanics felt simpler and easier to
  • 00:23:24
    adjust and his velocity didn't suffer at
  • 00:23:26
    all
  • 00:23:28
    now yeah I'm
  • 00:23:30
    not yeah nice job he ended up completely
  • 00:23:33
    shutting down one of the best offenses
  • 00:23:35
    in the league now there's a lot of
  • 00:23:36
    misinformation about pitching mechanics
  • 00:23:38
    out there some of which is leading to
  • 00:23:39
    the dramatic Spike and pitcher injuries
  • 00:23:41
    in recent years and coaches are just
  • 00:23:42
    trying to help but if they don't have
  • 00:23:44
    both playing experience and Technical
  • 00:23:45
    knowledge then their athletes are left
  • 00:23:47
    with incomplete or incorrect information
  • 00:23:49
    this can lead to more injuries and less
  • 00:23:51
    effective performance on the field
  • 00:23:52
    leaving the athletes struggling to
  • 00:23:53
    accomplish their career goals but what
  • 00:23:55
    if there was a way to gain velocity stay
  • 00:23:57
    healthy and perform better all at the
  • 00:23:59
    same time I'm in the unique position of
  • 00:24:01
    having both the playing experience and
  • 00:24:02
    the technical knowledge to make this a
  • 00:24:04
    possibility so I've created an app that
  • 00:24:06
    allows players to learn directly from me
  • 00:24:08
    it's called for app and when people sign
  • 00:24:09
    up for our Ultimate Pitching program I
  • 00:24:11
    analyze their mechanics detail all the
  • 00:24:12
    areas that they can improve and create a
  • 00:24:14
    throwing program for them that's 100%
  • 00:24:16
    customized to their needs every program
  • 00:24:18
    updates daily based on how the athletes

    now does canel have a hit tonight no
  • 00:24:52
    yeah I haven't mentioned anything about
  • 00:24:53
    this until now cuz you know baseball
  • 00:24:54
    gods and superstitions and everything
  • 00:24:56
    like that Robbie was about 10 games away
  • 00:24:57
    from break the franchise record hit stre
  • 00:25:00
    so we need him to get up we need a walk
  • 00:25:03
    right here and then a hit for Canó and
  • 00:25:05
    we were all hoping he get another shot
  • 00:25:07
    at it tonight but Berto hit a walk-off
  • 00:25:08
    single with Robbie on Deck to push our
  • 00:25:10
    win streak to five
  • 00:25:15
    gamesy
  • 00:25:17
    yesy and so ends Robinson Cano's hit
  • 00:25:21
    streak unfortunate and despite the good
  • 00:25:23
    feeling of winning the game my body was
  • 00:25:25
    feeling much worse and with my start
  • 00:25:27
    only two days away
  • 00:25:28
    that was not a good sign see
  • 00:25:32
    doctor no hospital yet but doctor and
  • 00:25:37
    then no no pitch tomorrow oh okay okay
  • 00:25:41
    so
  • 00:25:42
    update my stomach is in terrible shape
  • 00:25:45
    and uh I'm not pitching tomorrow I'm
  • 00:25:48
    flying back to the United States to see
  • 00:25:50
    a doctor and try to figure out what's
  • 00:25:51
    going on try to play catch today and
  • 00:25:53
    then get on a flight later to go get
  • 00:25:55
    checked out so no idea when this is
  • 00:25:57
    going to be better slept for like 3
  • 00:26:00
    hours max last night had to use the
  • 00:26:02
    restroom like 10 different times 5 6
  • 00:26:05
    days in a row of that I haven't slept
  • 00:26:06
    more than 5 hours in like a week yeah I
  • 00:26:09
    haven't really been a able to eat for 3
  • 00:26:10
    days so I'm in bad shape so I have a lot
  • 00:26:13
    of concerns about this one I'm going to
  • 00:26:16
    miss at least one if not two starts most
  • 00:26:18
    likely two starts after today I'll
  • 00:26:20
    probably be tied on wins also I need 12
  • 00:26:23
    more Innings to even qualify I'm at 81
  • 00:26:25
    right now I need 93 so that's on the
  • 00:26:27
    personal side and uh honestly have no
  • 00:26:30
    idea if this is going to get fixed
  • 00:26:31
    before end the season which is two weeks
  • 00:26:32
    away supposed to start first playoff
  • 00:26:35
    game in two and a half weeks so no idea
  • 00:26:38
    if I'll be able to do that dude rotating
  • 00:26:40
    does not feel
  • 00:26:41
    [Music]
  • 00:26:46
    good I definitely don't have anything to
  • 00:26:48
    work on today the only reason I'm
  • 00:26:49
    playing catch is to try to move my arm
  • 00:26:51
    probably won't play catch for the next
  • 00:26:53
    couple days while I'm getting evaluated
  • 00:26:55
    trying to feel better so gra biker the
  • 00:26:58
    next next day I flew back to the United
  • 00:26:59
    States to get evaluated and I filmed
  • 00:27:01
    some stuff but my dumbass deleted it
  • 00:27:03
    before giving it to my editors so here's
  • 00:27:05
    the basics after a terrible travel day I
  • 00:27:07
    finally made it home on the evening of
  • 00:27:08
    Monday July 15th on Tuesday the 16th I
  • 00:27:11
    had a colonoscopy and by Thursday the
  • 00:27:13
    18th I was diagnosed with ulcerative
  • 00:27:15
    colitis so I was given some medication
  • 00:27:16
    to clean that up after the procedure on
  • 00:27:18
    Tuesday I ended up having little muscle
  • 00:27:20
    twitches all over my body but I didn't
  • 00:27:22
    think much of it at the time I just
  • 00:27:23
    figured it was leftover effects from the
  • 00:27:24
    anesthesia I ended up missing two starts
  • 00:27:26
    and by the time I got back to Mexico
  • 00:27:28
    City on Sunday the 21st Cesar Valdez had
  • 00:27:30
    won another game which means he was only
  • 00:27:32
    one behind me for the league lead in
  • 00:27:33
    wins and that meant I really needed to
  • 00:27:35
    get a win in my next start on the 25th
  • 00:27:37
    to secure the Triple Crown so it's time
  • 00:27:39
    to get ready for that why do my ankles
  • 00:27:40
    feel weak my both of my ankles feel
  • 00:27:43
    like I have no stability in them I got a
  • 00:27:46
    bullpen tomorrow today we're in Mexico
  • 00:27:48
    City tomorrow morning I fly to Lon throw
  • 00:27:51
    a bullpen and then pitch on Thursday so
  • 00:27:54
    to play a nice little game of catch
  • 00:27:55
    today get my body moving my ankles and
  • 00:27:57
    my legs feel completely like
  • 00:28:00
    destabilized I have no idea why I've
  • 00:28:02
    never felt like that before Paul it's uh
  • 00:28:03
    it's me again please cue the ominous for
  • 00:28:06
    boing something terrible is about to
  • 00:28:08
    happen music right here as a way of
  • 00:28:09
    letting our viewers know that something
  • 00:28:11
    terrible is about to happen one thing
  • 00:28:12
    that was going on before I got sick was
  • 00:28:17
    I was drifting across my body too much
  • 00:28:19
    so I was trying to throw and I was kind
  • 00:28:21
    of cutting the ball my fast ball is Dead
  • 00:28:23
    trying to make sure that my direction is
  • 00:28:25
    going straight to my target honestly it
  • 00:28:27
    feels weird throwing even though the
  • 00:28:29
    difference is probably like not that
  • 00:28:30
    much but I want to make sure that when I
  • 00:28:34
    go to pitch next game my command has as
  • 00:28:36
    good a chance as possible of being good
  • 00:28:38
    cuz I won't have pitched in a game for
  • 00:28:40
    like 15 days so two weeks got to make
  • 00:28:43
    sure I'm starting my delivery correctly
  • 00:28:45
    so I have weight on the ball of my foot
  • 00:28:47
    and big toe and then I'm not allowing
  • 00:28:50
    myself to do this as a first movement
  • 00:28:52
    and drift across that I'm going straight
  • 00:28:54
    down and that's directing me straight
  • 00:28:56
    towards my Target also another thing I'm
  • 00:28:58
    feeling is when I step across my body I
  • 00:29:01
    can kind of block here with my glove
  • 00:29:02
    side and then everything kind of rotates
  • 00:29:04
    together to get around but when I'm
  • 00:29:06
    stepping to my target my glove side
  • 00:29:08
    blocks and I rotate like this I'm
  • 00:29:10
    pulling the ball so I got to make sure
  • 00:29:12
    that my glove side is being active and
  • 00:29:13
    loading by the time my front foot hits
  • 00:29:16
    so that I can like direct my hands
  • 00:29:17
    straight to the Target definitely
  • 00:29:18
    feeling a little bit off mechanically
  • 00:29:20
    today I do notice though that when I get
  • 00:29:22
    it right the ball has way more carry to
  • 00:29:24
    it even here at altitude so that's nice
  • 00:29:26
    if you want insights like this into your
  • 00:29:27
    delivery reminder to check out for app I
  • 00:29:29
    had fully rejoined the team yet but we
  • 00:29:31
    lost our game on Sunday to end our 10
  • 00:29:32
    game winning streak our third 10 game
  • 00:29:34
    winning streak of the Season by the way
  • 00:29:36
    but after playing catch on Monday I
  • 00:29:37
    rejoined the team in Leon on Tuesday the
  • 00:29:39
    23rd what time is it now 5:45 is go back
  • 00:29:43
    to Arizona California California
  • 00:29:46
    hospital no doct doctor no hospital okay
  • 00:29:50
    anesthesia
  • 00:29:52
    yeah okay okay and they shoved the tube
  • 00:29:55
    up my butt colonoscopy they like took uh
  • 00:29:59
    s like tissue samples of my yeah like
  • 00:30:02
    you know like flesh like biopsy tissue
  • 00:30:04
    from my colon and like analyzed it no
  • 00:30:08
    bueno no
  • 00:30:12
    buen why do my legs feel so weird right
  • 00:30:15
    now it feels like I've never done
  • 00:30:18
    athletic activity in my life before I'm
  • 00:30:20
    not kidding I feel like I'm on ice right
  • 00:30:22
    [Music]
  • 00:30:25
    now I almost just rolled my ank like
  • 00:30:28
    walking I have like no sensation in my
  • 00:30:31
    feet either like they're not numb but I
  • 00:30:33
    just can't like none of the muscles in
  • 00:30:35
    my lower body are activated right now
  • 00:30:36
    that's what it feels like my buddies and
  • 00:30:38
    and Cancun that play for Cancun were
  • 00:30:40
    like hey did he do it on purpose because
  • 00:30:41
    our owner started talking [ __ ] about the
  • 00:30:43
    Diablo I was like no bro he's really
  • 00:30:45
    sick he's not even in the country
  • 00:30:47
    anymore he's laying on his side in a
  • 00:30:49
    hospital with a tube shoved up his ass
  • 00:30:51
    right now they're like oh we thought
  • 00:30:52
    since the article came out that the
  • 00:30:54
    owner was talking [ __ ] on on Diablo that
  • 00:30:57
    they decided to say you know what there
  • 00:30:58
    goes your sell
  • 00:30:59
    out no I wanted to pitch against them
  • 00:31:02
    yeah you wanted that sea level start I
  • 00:31:03
    wanted that sea level start guess this
  • 00:31:05
    is what happens when you don't do
  • 00:31:06
    anything for seven days and you are
  • 00:31:10
    under anesthesia
  • 00:31:12
    and are sick I don't
  • 00:31:16
    know so much for that advertisement huh
  • 00:31:19
    I think what it is is like my calf
  • 00:31:21
    muscles aren't
  • 00:31:23
    activating like I have
  • 00:31:25
    no I have like no strength in moving
  • 00:31:27
    moving my it's like my lower legs are
  • 00:31:29
    just completely shut down activation
  • 00:31:31
    wise but I lifted two days ago I didn't
  • 00:31:34
    go heavy but it's like when I go to like
  • 00:31:36
    lift my foot my foot like dangles and I
  • 00:31:39
    have no
  • 00:31:41
    like I have no ability to like hold my
  • 00:31:43
    foot like IND dorsy flexion which makes
  • 00:31:46
    it really hard to run cuz I go to run
  • 00:31:48
    and it's like I'm dragging my toes also
  • 00:31:50
    I've been having a ton of twitching you
  • 00:31:52
    know like when you're laying there and
  • 00:31:52
    the muscle just like won't stop like
  • 00:31:54
    twitching I've been having that all over
  • 00:31:56
    my body though like throughout the
  • 00:31:59
    day all right I got to make sure my
  • 00:32:01
    direction is good
  • 00:32:03
    today so that's going to be the focus
  • 00:32:05
    and catch play I have like no stability
  • 00:32:07
    in my ankles at all right now it's like
  • 00:32:10
    I land and I go to like stick it my
  • 00:32:12
    ankle just goes nope and it rolls so
  • 00:32:17
    weird yep there it goes the grass is not
  • 00:32:21
    even it has nothing to do with the grass
  • 00:32:23
    I promise you what is
  • 00:32:25
    this that's that's just that's just in
  • 00:32:27
    the middle of the Outfield there's two
  • 00:32:29
    of them there's three of them yeah it's
  • 00:32:30
    a whole line I guess that's how the
  • 00:32:32
    field drains I guess so but like what if
  • 00:32:35
    a ball goes in that what if someone's
  • 00:32:37
    foot goes in that also can we get some
  • 00:32:39
    lights on in the stadium it is so dim
  • 00:32:41
    right
  • 00:32:42
    now dude if I overthrow my catcher right
  • 00:32:45
    now I'm smoking someone in the stands
  • 00:32:48
    okay so I can't rotate off my backside
  • 00:32:50
    cuz my ankle's dead and I can't block on
  • 00:32:52
    my front side cuz my ankle's dead what
  • 00:32:54
    is going on don't step in that hole Kev
  • 00:32:57
    looks like dead
  • 00:33:03
    death I'm dead send me to the
  • 00:33:06
    morg don't call a trainer I'm
  • 00:33:09
    fine no no no I'm fine
  • 00:33:16
    ambulance I got hit like right here
  • 00:33:19
    Ronnie got me Ronnie got me as I was
  • 00:33:21
    walking behind P yank slider
  • 00:33:29
    okay maybe my ankles are starting to
  • 00:33:31
    wake
  • 00:33:33
    up good split there there the back door
  • 00:33:39
    slider good
  • 00:33:41
    effort I missed a little bit but I like
  • 00:33:44
    the
  • 00:33:45
    effort oh that was not a good effort
  • 00:33:48
    yeah no backside activation on
  • 00:33:51
    that
  • 00:33:53
    okay whoopsies pretty sure this is not
  • 00:33:56
    going to move but we're going to try
  • 00:33:58
    come back to
  • 00:34:00
    see well that definitely moved I wish I
  • 00:34:03
    could throw that pitch in the game ASB
  • 00:34:04
    if you could throw that in the game no
  • 00:34:06
    one would ever hit it you can throw it
  • 00:34:07
    in catch and you can throw it here but
  • 00:34:09
    when you get in the game it just
  • 00:34:11
    goes sometimes with with a SPL you got
  • 00:34:15
    good movement on it going down but son
  • 00:34:19
    of them got movement going this way you
  • 00:34:22
    you using this you want you do it on
  • 00:34:25
    your own because you want to or some
  • 00:34:27
    sometimes when I the good ones that go
  • 00:34:30
    this way I'm here and I accelerate my
  • 00:34:32
    hand all the way through it and finish
  • 00:34:34
    the pitch the bad ones I like want to
  • 00:34:36
    see it move M and so I rotate and I go I
  • 00:34:40
    stop here and my hand just kind of like
  • 00:34:42
    cuts it instead of like getting all the
  • 00:34:44
    way through the pitch like a fast ball
  • 00:34:46
    when I get through it like a fast ball
  • 00:34:48
    those are the ones that have the the
  • 00:34:49
    good movement it's like it's new and so
  • 00:34:52
    or it's the newest pitch and so I want
  • 00:34:54
    to see it do something and so instead of
  • 00:34:57
    just tring it and throwing it like every
  • 00:34:59
    other pitch the good point that I see is
  • 00:35:02
    the acceleration that you have with them
  • 00:35:04
    you know no one recognize it yeah you
  • 00:35:06
    know what I mean yeah it's another thing
  • 00:35:09
    which is different talking about you
  • 00:35:11
    know the the way you create the movement
  • 00:35:13
    on your wrist yeah you know because I
  • 00:35:15
    used to throw a splitter yeah but
  • 00:35:17
    sometimes I I play with this you know
  • 00:35:19
    against the lefties when you say your
  • 00:35:21
    thumb so you put more pressure with the
  • 00:35:23
    thumb or how and this one okay you and
  • 00:35:25
    that's the one you want to go like to a
  • 00:35:26
    left you put more pressure cuz you want
  • 00:35:28
    to
  • 00:35:29
    go way gotcha interesting okay I'll have
  • 00:35:32
    to play around with that see if it see
  • 00:35:35
    if the thumb thanks espie [ __ ] dude
  • 00:35:38
    jiggly already made his
  • 00:35:40
    debut yeah but he's ready we're going to
  • 00:35:42
    roll with jiggly next outing we'll see I
  • 00:35:44
    think it's jiggly with the red uniforms
  • 00:35:46
    and gold one with the or the teal one
  • 00:35:48
    with the the teal uniforms that's what I
  • 00:35:50
    think I started feeling in the pen I was
  • 00:35:52
    like feeling my right knee a little bit
  • 00:35:53
    because my back foot was so dead that
  • 00:35:55
    when I went to rotate it was all going
  • 00:35:57
    to my knee instead of being like on my
  • 00:35:58
    toe and like rolling that way cuz I
  • 00:36:01
    don't have any like activation in my
  • 00:36:03
    foot oh there we go now we got some
  • 00:36:04
    lights look at my ankle when I try to
  • 00:36:06
    walk on the
  • 00:36:07
    outside see it just like it just like
  • 00:36:11
    caves in doesn't do that on my left I
  • 00:36:14
    can hold it stable this entire part of
  • 00:36:16
    my foot is just like so turned off and
  • 00:36:20
    dead pretty
  • 00:36:21
    [Laughter]
  • 00:36:26
    good no
  • 00:36:28
    splitter you see on
  • 00:36:31
    camera it needs to activate it's dead
  • 00:36:35
    like it's there's no activation in the
  • 00:36:37
    in this part of my foot despite having
  • 00:36:39
    no ability to activate the muscles in my
  • 00:36:40
    feet or my calves or anything really
  • 00:36:42
    below my knee my Bullpen actually went
  • 00:36:44
    okay now I was a little concerned at
  • 00:36:46
    this point but I figured after doing
  • 00:36:47
    some more strenuous activity today my
  • 00:36:50
    body would wake up and be better
  • 00:36:52
    tomorrow so I tried to do some light
  • 00:36:54
    Barefoot jogs and Ankle activations to
  • 00:36:56
    help with this hey C coming
  • 00:36:59
    what when's it going to debut F yeah I
  • 00:37:02
    was so close to thr one in ver Cruz I
  • 00:37:05
    punched the guy out and Thea press
  • 00:37:07
    cutter before the guy got to the plate
  • 00:37:09
    freaked me out I was
  • 00:37:12
    like that's the time you got to be like
  • 00:37:14
    oh he's feeling it I got to rip
  • 00:37:18
    it thank you Yep this guy got a great
  • 00:37:21
    Pace does
  • 00:37:24
    he that's about his dead zone
  • 00:37:27
    bastketball as you can get you're going
  • 00:37:28
    you're going quick I can feel out of the
  • 00:37:31
    out of the stretch just like I can feel
  • 00:37:34
    am going down yeah it's like forward
  • 00:37:38
    before down I
  • 00:37:40
    cut last game here what is that like the
  • 00:37:43
    third or fourth this will be my fourth
  • 00:37:45
    but the third one got rained out after
  • 00:37:47
    three Innings so it doesn't count I'm
  • 00:37:49
    referring to this incident from earlier
  • 00:37:50
    in the season and if you haven't seen it
  • 00:37:52
    you can check out the full video right
  • 00:37:53
    here you do the glove thing again no
  • 00:37:57
    they're manager's gone they fired him
  • 00:37:59
    yeah different manager now I can't even
  • 00:38:01
    get him back you know what I want to
  • 00:38:03
    know is why Sala traded this guy in that
  • 00:38:05
    Piller whatever that one guy was yeah
  • 00:38:07
    the three- hole hitter ryell something
  • 00:38:10
    was a lead up he was he was lead up on
  • 00:38:13
    saltio he's hitting three here tonight
  • 00:38:14
    anyway feel like Sal just cleaned house
  • 00:38:17
    they got rid of everybody right there
  • 00:38:18
    already so that's a baseball odity
  • 00:38:20
    there's this rumor out there that every
  • 00:38:22
    single game a hitter will foul ball off
  • 00:38:24
    and it will go between his legs and
  • 00:38:26
    despite being looked into and disproven
  • 00:38:28
    infinite number of times pun still
  • 00:38:31
    believes it literally has happened by
  • 00:38:32
    the way it literally has happened every
  • 00:38:33
    game as Ronnie as Ronnie literally since
  • 00:38:36
    you've left every single game I've I
  • 00:38:38
    pointed one out I wasn't even out here
  • 00:38:40
    for a lot of the Innings I just come out
  • 00:38:41
    here it happened and it just happened
  • 00:38:43
    right there right now you're one for one
  • 00:38:45
    are you positive that that went between
  • 00:38:47
    his legs 100% it hit his front leg and
  • 00:38:49
    shot backwards all I care about is if
  • 00:38:51
    you throw your slider in the green area
  • 00:38:52
    of this fight it doesn't matter if they
  • 00:38:53
    score 14 runs off it as long as you
  • 00:38:55
    throw your slider right there they're
  • 00:38:56
    happy one thing puns doesn't believe in
  • 00:38:58
    is pitcher heat Maps they look like this
  • 00:39:00
    and basically if you throw the pitch in
  • 00:39:02
    the green area it's better for the
  • 00:39:03
    pitcher and if you throw it in the red
  • 00:39:05
    it's better for the hitter and I'm a big
  • 00:39:07
    believer in pitcher heat Maps but Pon is
  • 00:39:09
    not but if you throw your slider in that
  • 00:39:11
    little green area over the course of a
  • 00:39:13
    season you'll be way better than if you
  • 00:39:15
    don't that way true when I was with
  • 00:39:17
    Tacoma in uh the Mariner system I went
  • 00:39:20
    six Innings one run and out of 100 I got
  • 00:39:23
    a score of seven because I threw 80%
  • 00:39:25
    heaters and Sh I still Shug out seven
  • 00:39:27
    the guy the next day went like four
  • 00:39:29
    Innings five runs and got like a 77 on a
  • 00:39:32
    score because he threw like 60% sliders
  • 00:39:34
    and he hit every area that he was
  • 00:39:36
    supposed to like oh slider on the green
  • 00:39:38
    like they all care and the next game six
  • 00:39:40
    Innings two runs got like a 10 my
  • 00:39:43
    pitching score cuz I threw 70% heaters
  • 00:39:45
    and like mother off speed I didn't throw
  • 00:39:47
    any First Strike but I just blew
  • 00:39:49
    everyone away with heaters and then when
  • 00:39:50
    I started throwing my slider started
  • 00:39:52
    getting like 50 scores by I start giving
  • 00:39:53
    up three four runs in a game like in
  • 00:39:55
    2020 I threw like 65% fast balls every
  • 00:39:58
    year I throw 60% plus fast balls and
  • 00:40:01
    against the Miami Marlins I threw 94
  • 00:40:03
    pitches 91 fast balls wa five innings
  • 00:40:05
    one R it was the Miami marins in Miami
  • 00:40:08

  • 00:41:45
    I did see I did and I did see pbl yeah

  • 00:41:50
    entire career you even get it out I've
  • 00:41:52
    never done that I've never done that and
  • 00:41:53
    I've had a lot of bad I've not made it
  • 00:41:55
    out of the first twice I've not made out
  • 00:41:57
    the first I think twice won in college
  • 00:41:59
    won in Pro bom I had two outings where I
  • 00:42:01
    went two3 of an inning and gave up five
  • 00:42:03
    in the big leagues you just feel
  • 00:42:04
    terrible for the entire team you know
  • 00:42:06
    one of them I did in the first game of
  • 00:42:08
    of a 29 double
  • 00:42:10
    header I did I did the first game of a
  • 00:42:12
    27 L they called me up from the miners
  • 00:42:15
    to pitch the first game and I went 2/3
  • 00:42:17
    and give up five

    the it's the only team that sound like
  • 00:42:37
    they would do something like that they
  • 00:42:39
    sent me back to the hotel and sent me
  • 00:42:41
    down and then before the second game

  • 00:42:59
    game what do you got there what you got
  • 00:43:01
    I keep telling him you should unbutton
  • 00:43:02
    this one you know wants three do you one
  • 00:43:06
    no yeah I I keep saying you should pitch
  • 00:43:09
    like that you know there's no fixing
  • 00:43:10
    this fixing this someone's got to look
  • 00:43:12
    at
  • 00:43:13
    the look at those SI look at that nose
  • 00:43:16
    man I used to have a straight nose then
  • 00:43:18
    I got surgery and then now it's crooked
  • 00:43:21
    the surgery made your nose crooked a lot
  • 00:43:23
    crooked oh my God it actually is crooked
  • 00:43:26
    I just I just bent it
  • 00:43:27
    that it can move like that yeah I
  • 00:43:30
    mov over under 12 pitches the in 12 and
  • 00:43:34
    a half over you can't just keep having
  • 00:43:36
    like four or five pitch Innings you know
  • 00:43:38
    I mean if they're smart no well we know
  • 00:43:40
    they're not smart he's going to throw
  • 00:43:42
    right down the middle you're going less
  • 00:43:44
    take the under again oh
  • 00:43:47
    hesitation you don't you don't got that
  • 00:43:50
    I definit don't have to you don't you
  • 00:43:51
    don't got that in your game that's 11
  • 00:43:55
    right oh oh yes
  • 00:43:58
    winner sick dude that guy despite Brooks
  • 00:44:02
    pitching well we gave up four runs in
  • 00:44:03
    the seventh to lose the game five four
  • 00:44:05
    now we're only a couple weeks from the
  • 00:44:07
    end of the season we still haven't lost
  • 00:44:08
    three in a row so tomorrow's game is
  • 00:44:10
    extra important to keep that streak
  • 00:44:11
    going the key to the pitching delivery
  • 00:44:13
    is literally like this it's a sequence
  • 00:44:15
    of like hip shoulder arm like if you can
  • 00:44:17
    get really good at just doing that like
  • 00:44:19
    what we talking about yeah just like
  • 00:44:23
    that
  • 00:44:29
    it literally feels like from here down
  • 00:44:32
    is paralyzed like I have no ability to
  • 00:44:34
    move it it's like obviously not quite
  • 00:44:36
    that bad but that's what it feels
  • 00:44:47
    like every time I block I go to rotate
  • 00:44:50
    my whole entire leg just opens up like
  • 00:44:51
    this I have no lateral stability in my
  • 00:44:53
    ankle at all so I had hoped that doing
  • 00:44:55
    some activity yesterday would help my
  • 00:44:56
    situation ation but it didn't it just
  • 00:44:58
    made it worse yesterday my right ankle
  • 00:45:00
    was worse than my left today my left
  • 00:45:03
    ankle was worse than my right but my
  • 00:45:05
    right hadn't gotten any better so I was
  • 00:45:07
    definitely going the wrong direction I
  • 00:45:08
    had no clue what was going on I'd never
  • 00:45:10
    felt like this before and I was
  • 00:45:12
    definitely very worried about my start
  • 00:45:13
    tomorrow good news is the rest of my
  • 00:45:15
    body feels loose and good just I have no
  • 00:45:19
    control of the lower
  • 00:45:24
    extremities yeah I have no like
  • 00:45:28
    there's no
  • 00:45:32
    stability we'll be rooting for you
  • 00:45:34
    tomorrow thank you I appreciate it God
  • 00:45:36
    bless you thank you you too did you ever
  • 00:45:37
    do any of that like tip anything it's
  • 00:45:40
    always Rock Solid and I can't like see
  • 00:45:43
    see my leg like I've tore this Achilles
  • 00:45:45
    so I I know a little bit about the leg
  • 00:45:47
    it still don't feel the same how' you
  • 00:45:49
    tear it uh pitching really going to
  • 00:45:53
    cover first oh the first step was out of
  • 00:45:56
    baseball for 3 years working at
  • 00:45:58
    investment firm damn and then I started
  • 00:46:00
    throwing again and started throwing
  • 00:46:02
    harder the Brewers resigned me to draft
  • 00:46:04
    me out of high school and then my second
  • 00:46:05
    start I tore my kills and that was like
  • 00:46:08
    when I came back from baseball I figured
  • 00:46:10
    out how to throw harder I was like I was
  • 00:46:11
    sitting 97 that day yeah I was like this
  • 00:46:14
    is going to be fun I think I'm I was
  • 00:46:16
    like on the rubber like on the Mal disc
  • 00:46:17
    I'm pushed it felt like I got I felt
  • 00:46:20
    like I Ste in a hole and I was I
  • 00:46:21
    realized now in this machine my problems
  • 00:46:24
    are my [ __ ] you just have to jump more
  • 00:46:26
    you have to get get you I'll do plate
  • 00:46:28
    stuff where I put a a plate right here
  • 00:46:30
    and I live and I do like all sorts of
  • 00:46:33
    you know you're here and you hold I'm
  • 00:46:36
    always locked in and now I'm like I
  • 00:46:39
    can't I can't do it it's so it's just in
  • 00:46:42
    the last like three 3 or 4 days I think
  • 00:46:45
    it's probably has something to do with
  • 00:46:46
    the medication or the anesthesia I was
  • 00:46:48
    on it's like partial paralysis below my
  • 00:46:50
    knee it's so weird like gets the hip all
  • 00:46:53
    the way cleared I don't really hit that
  • 00:46:55
    anymore I need to go inside am I being
  • 00:46:57
    am I being am I being kicked out or to
  • 00:46:59
    the hotel because well my plan was to
  • 00:47:02
    watch and then as soon as the inning
  • 00:47:03
    ends like Duck and go in so he didn't
  • 00:47:05
    know I was here but maybe it's just my
  • 00:47:06
    presence I think he just your presence
  • 00:47:08
    just makes him nervous yeah I don't know
  • 00:47:10
    what the [ __ ] is going on right now what
  • 00:47:11
    is he
  • 00:47:12
    doing is this my fault should we go now
  • 00:47:15
    the last time I saw pun's pitch he
  • 00:47:18
    didn't get an out gave Thors you feel
  • 00:47:22
    powerful doing that what do you
  • 00:47:28
    catch it catch
  • 00:47:31

    [ __ ] I threw a pen yesterday it was
  • 00:50:07
    worse I had I had checked my phone the
  • 00:50:09
    whole game and then I got to check some
  • 00:50:12
    Rachel she's trying to sell me out huh
  • 00:50:16

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