And now it's time for lunch can benefit us. But TPC. Fox sports talk. Hello everyone and welcome to get a cheap seats will we hang out what baseball's best -- guy. Once again we're hanging around my house down in San Diego put my mammoth hot -- behind me and as He just saw right there captain grizzly. Coming up and if you -- should be hanging out with one of the best names in baseball obviously I'm a little buys that because. It's my good buddy Vernon Wells or wells and wells reunion. Here on the cheap seats before our first guest is a pitcher is a big part of the indians' rotation. Any huge reason why Cleveland's turnaround this year he's Bob Graham and Justin Masterson dusty I need somebody. There are doing great -- -- beyond repair. All right all right on like that the last couple games you've had some tough luck losses you're 87 now but you have and -- -- -- 2.5 seven which is kick -- What do you tell your stride to give you some more run support. You know yeah your first artists give it a disappointment comes in not just because I did a tough luck loss but more because I don't right. In general the team goes so there even though it yeah I'll admit I've been totally my fault and we went to -- teams you know that's that's where the disappointment comes and but then there's still some excitement because they go beyond. Yeah I'm still. Pitching well enough yard pitch you know. But I Roy you know our era lower that a wise and what I did later on on my career. No I start making some good cake is. This is what you do and these guys respond because and it's a game attending game you go into the dugout you know you see how things are going in the game and right. You know just when you're not big opportunities -- don't. He just get MCI guys blurted out there are high hundred dollars an RBI 500 for the game winner -- in -- man let's go see what you got. Challenge these guys tell you what I got a lot of wins -- gonna cost you love and money that's put in a lot of run block right you're gonna get some in return. Both -- thing is though who went over. Officers you know out of the torch is actually started. You try to do they're going to -- -- RBIs cards hey you know whoever. Pyramids RBIs Europe don't probably get -- -- Hafner who already makes enough money but who cares Zito is -- Motivate -- you know either rich get richer so what -- -- I get the W I don't care how much money you make -- all matters. But. I needless and a couple of weeks ago. Your pitching against the twins you 204 pitches -- -- 103 -- more fastballs. I mean that's incredible. You know. I think and how many. I mean Woody will let's go through your mind that there you obviously you're not doing your curveball you're seeing what are used on his sinker but you get -- we changeup curveball slider. You know what's what's the deal man what's the deal that's great. Hey you know. Part of it is because -- as a pitcher everything doesn't do great every day you're out there but if you try and manage and figure out you know what what you are gone and I reminded my fastball my best pitch so you know from the outset that okay you're committing. I didn't see what happens. It just happened that sort movement. You know guys are in there against a jam shots here and there actually had it up for city three balls you know choppers right back to me. Thibodeau is one of those where it got later in the game over a slider came in my head as -- Yeah I know -- yet so let's just sit here and just oozes talent that I mean you would understand as a pitcher that they wouldn't you got something working and you know there's not. Really need to change it. You know I've watched quite a few times this year and you do have the motions of tennis actually but you got the movement and Kevin Brown. I mean sometimes a ball goes anywhere wants to go on -- do you have people coming up tee -- natter are mean. I unsure it can be frustrating when you when you when you saw those pitches in your bombers out much and you know you just have no -- -- don't. Some sometimes that that can be frustrating now when the ball immediately disable every once I like you know I don't think the ball movement too much today. And Gilbert you know comparisons -- -- it there underneath their cool but you know course meets these pitchers his own guy you know he's his own individual. And you aren't I can't be strong with city mix of -- hall of famers aren't they like that. Car under me to sort out there and and by no means at that level. But you know for me I just -- it -- have fun and they sometimes I surprise myself are okay decency to say god it'd be like. That's the. Sure the economy and that's good I mean I've I think a lot of people would chill. To have that type of movement so lower over the other pitches that He through that day. Bad debt after once slider. At -- -- It was suits my diet is like it's one -- Karen here's slider and there about the -- I don't know. I'd just. Here I can't tell you it's not like doesn't Garner the best today it was just. I don't -- it is as far as this kid out there extra stuff and just doing what you love and have a pitch inch and you know it's keep it close you know later I was pitches that was executed and it was that type things are well -- Right in here. This way well let's see you have a bunch of guys and your team matter honors. You know and we dug up some footage of the issue is and -- greens -- and I think it is one -- -- You know I'm sure they'll obviously look liking what you're doing. America and couples -- -- -- -- -- and all the land it to. A gifted Jets look -- and that's pressure as you boarding Kingston Jamaica and I've been to Jamaica I think I intend to grill. -- difference between obvious -- And united state -- Cleveland even. That's. You are that was very young you -- -- there are you my dad was teaching there -- been an exchange student was teaching. Added to make it theological seminary. So you a lot of what I did this you know huge -- stories from my family are good. Yes I'd say -- anything it's it's it's neat story on its really Korea having that underneath my belt because. Aggressor remember second game in the big leagues and Michael Wohl art so to me and now it says not to -- leave me alone is. And -- were you born in Jamaica. Yeah. Yeah I think He stood just third base coach was talking to me about this I do believe there is looking for some little black guy out there and. It's. I -- are you ready for us and trivia. Here's here's today's question is -- -- three other Major League ball players. In Major League history that were born in Jamaica. You know that that were -- it's Medicare. -- Do I do think you if you don't know this one at least two out of three. I don't know I don't right now when I'm thunderstorm like Greg can even in the picture the guys. I've seen nothing has come on my sure you get nervous just like as much as on there is asking you these questions on -- I don't. I'm like -- much sweat and Barrett does it and I you're all right you're going. Thank -- and have a good pitchers are. Whether to restart with we're what's -- sooner associate initials or first one CD. CD yeah he's here. He's the most famous one is -- is by you know chilly. To a David's. Chili Davis so it probably best center fielder I think in ever in his initials or DW. BW -- right there you go at a and your -- current era infielder Chris. And it didn't want to I don't even know this guy. But that's prepared. It's -- undone their record yet big orders. Are are. His initials are are. -- popular I'll -- the first day Rolando. -- -- -- -- -- -- But never passed the -- just got creators David Wells practiced in my heart pattern I just. I just wish I had to stop and I mean -- -- do you had to give -- sinker but not like that I was jealous and Mike -- when I played -- on Kevin brown and I played against and seen all that movement sides -- upper body -- -- -- China is what they say so. That's what hurt if you think you're going did you have -- the ball way your stuff goes so but that's great -- well listen man I want to thank you very much are coming on the show I continued success.

You know -- Seattle -- Well I've been here and when I started the -- that Steven. Going to TD in the and it's trying to do you much the biggest thing. The sign him and watch a lot of video on one -- got back just a matter of doing what I can't help this team -- -- you know it's basic your -- a two horse race right there in the Al west or year and Texas. I mean. Obviously two different teams got a lot of harm both sides. You know the pitch they're pitching is good your pitching -- I mean what do you think it's gonna come down to you know towards the end of the season what's gonna take to beat at number one slot. Yeah one of. -- -- Good run they went on to -- it won't -- To give to any of them during that period was keeper. But they're good team but Clement went home and it pretty much scored a touchdown every time there also. Citizens -- being there aren't -- all our. But Portland for us -- -- and there won't be a good home. Coach got a lot of people didn't realize that you grew up in Major League clubhouse with your dad obviously but not as a player has a Keener. What was that like going in there -- debts are in all his artwork I haven't quite a few pieces of your dad ever thought about getting entertaining. -- not a danger. -- -- An -- communicated and -- mountains.

I had I had them -- and ball our mission to get our ballplayers better men better start put me. For awhile early to even lose David could do lose belief and the situations. And everything I've heard are you worried that I can't put the product better and Alonso. You you kind of you kind of started just the way I handled young guys. -- at that point in the early in my career so I haven't you know. And I appreciate you know I -- take care the young guys are rookies I didn't know I don't know if you knew this like. You know when you're when you're coming out there I think it was 2000 -- -- -- -- she let -- -- the lineup every star. And I mean not too many guys had that opportunity. But I kept put -- in -- San Jose Cruz junior. -- I mean I don't get there are a lot of quality depth he's a good friend but you know at the time you know just watch some of the games where He just his. -- arm was a lot better and has a chance He could throw guys out it to the ball a little bit better she. You know at the time so I kept right UN in the lineup or so ago He was getting mad at me because he's I guess I got to play -- each sometime -- like -- like a little bit better right now when I got burnt out there are so I didn't know hockey news outlet to you know eventually we did what cruising in there and you know all as well I don't think He knows and -- -- to -- his pride and kill me and just just friendliness for sheer.
