I whoever's listening out there we know some 18 to 35 year olds are if you haven't seen Pearl Jam in person you're doing a disservice to yourself your community the country and your kids let's get a hold of yourselves and every young kid that was in that crowd y night I was like now that's a good father now that's a good father now that's a good father dude my f my son's Andrew his first concert ever was Tom Petty and his next concert was Bob Seager and I said I'm not sending these kids off to college if they don't know like Petty eager the boss Pearl Jam I'm like do whatever you want when you're 18 but you're not leaving this house without actually knowing some songs I looked over my daughter Carly she was singing like black and alive and once and and small town all that stuff they didn't play small town last night too which was like they went like they went deep dude they went like if you're you got to be one last thing I'll say chin when I went and saw the boss you realize there's boss fans like you look to the left this one dude knew every word I I I was like I'm not a true Boss Fan I'm not a true spring fan I know Born to Run and all those one you know I know those ones you know I mean I know like brilliant disguise you know Philadelphia this guy was like songs I've never heard of in my life he ripped every single lyric look to my right there's a girl every lyric dude for last night was for the Pearl Jam fans you know every there was some bside song you're like let's go you know the bides though to Pearl Jam yeah no I that's what I'm saying I'm I'm a legit Pearl because I knew those songs but I'm not a legit Springsteen fan I'm I'm more of a Born to Run tunnel love Springsteen fan heyel I like that one too um all right Tunnel of Love in Los Angeles I don't know and there's no chance that's that's good Segway dude I like it thanks dude it happened with the Yankees a few weeks ago you walk who do they walk so walk SoDo yeah to pitch the judge oops now the Angels walked their former player sh Otani to get to M Muki bets who went Kaboom I just the whole thing about it is I hope I hope they play in a World Series those lineups like the fans of each team on opposite side like when you're facing the Dodgers lineup you got to be terrified and then you get in the playoffs where you got to win like four to two games more often than now these these lineups are out of control D it's it's incredible and it's awesome you know when you see that happen because dude don't forget Aaron judge is one of the most confident dudes I've ever been around so don't give him any reason to be more confident and then you saw that they walk stto judge goes deep mookie bets is one of the most confident guys out there he bowls 300 games he's a anything he touches horseback riding skiing whatever he this guy wants to do botch he's the best right he is the ultimate competitor don't give Mooky bets a reason to be that much better and then bam there's the three-run bomb when it dude I look back I think back in my career 2004 I'm raking dude I'm hitting like I was hitting like 394 in the middle of June three almost 400 like legit I mean with with pumps I had 16 pumps in a second I hit 355 at the break and it was like in June Jack mcken intentionally walked me to get to King griffy Jr bam three- run bomb yes bomb griffs round in third and just stares right at Jack mcken who was with the Marlins at the time just stares down oh yeah you're going to walk Casey to get to me one of the greatest hitters of all time don't forget who I am you know Griff was hurt at the time banged up a little bit and I was hot I don't care dude don't give Ken griffy Jr Aaron judge Mookie Betts some of the best hitters in the game don't give them a reason to take to take their greatness to another level hey man you're right hey hey you can't put Aaron judge in center field guess what he can play center field no you can't put M bets at shortstop guess what he can play short exactly yeah those guys could probably pitch too I mean they just didn't do it dude 100% that's what it is man some of those athletes you know you grow up being a really good athlete and then you see those guys who are just different type of athletes and you're like I thought I thought I was something but like this is something and it it just seems natural but it's not natural for those guys they work hard on it which make takes them to another level well the thing is they're so talented and then they put the work in there's a lot of guys that are talented and then they put the work in and become big Leaguers then there's guys that are like uber talented that work and you're like that's different that's a that's a different human right there different animal right different version of like what talent looks like those are your Superstars your Cooperstown guys your 1centers you know what I mean like and you know and you notice they look obviously too they're they their body composition is a little different you know I mean just a little stronger a little bigger you know but but mean I guess a guy like Mookie Betts but he's wiy he's wiry strong he's so coordinated I hand coordination there's usually a one superpower in there for these Superstar players there's a superpower whether it's I hand coordination whether it's strength whether it's whatever it is yeah Mariano Rivera it was like flexibility like he could repeat his motion from 20 years old to 45 years old that's it's like a weird thing that's you can't look that up in a a doctor manual like right get like him you can't some gu like P Pedro Martinez had a finger that went came all the way literally was like it looked like it looked like a ruler and it went and a ruler that bent backwards I'm like now that's different because you get up that Pedro like this guy's not that big then you get then you then you talk to him first off he thinks he's 67 270 Jack Diesel and he's got a finger that's a ruler that comes backwards that he just would dominate people with same thing with Roya when I first was next to Dustin madya I'm like how is this guy I mean I was like he's going to take his shirt off and he's going to look like Schwarzenegger he has to he must be that must be the exer then he takes his shirt off and looks like we of the Poo I'm like this guy doesn't look like Schwarzenegger you kidding me then he goes out and plays and I'm like this guy thinks he's Schwarzenegger and Don maddingley and you know I mean and Ryan Samberg all into one person and he's going to dominate you you know mentally so that was like that was his super power like you know Dustin mroy his superpower was he was better than every person in the big leagues mentally and he got every bit out of his talent yeah for you kids out there who who never really saw padro like you look at Alex bregman now he's got that same kind of mold exactly High size but he's bigger than you no matter what he's bigger than you in his head so good stuff there speaking of heads oh okay there's a transition not Whit Maryfield got drilled and was not happy about it and had something uh very interesting to say obviously he was pissed you getting hit in the head you're going to be pissed understandably but I want you to listen to what he said here and then we'll talk about it after it's ridiculous the way where the game's at right now it's it's it's just ridiculous we've had we lost we lost Riley we almost lost Mike we almost lost uh darno in a in a span of two or three weeks the way the way pitchers are throwing now there's no remorse for or the regard for throwing up and in they guys are throwing as hard as they can and they don't care where the ball goes and it's it's it's just there there's they they can't you can't hit a guy anymore back there's no fear that oh if I hit this guy our guy's going to get hit that's not the game anymore pitchers don't have to hit anymore so they don't have to stand in the box and the teams are bringing pitchers up that don't know where Ball's going they they throw 100 miles an hour so we're like all right we'll see if we can get the guys out just set up down the middle and throw it as hard as can and it's it's driving me nuts and I hate where the game's at right now with that and I'm on the rules committee and we got a call tomorrow and it's it's going to be a long conversation on what we got to do to make pitchers think about I just took 95 right off the head I'm very lucky that it got me in a good spot and I got to go get a CAT scan I'm out of the game he gets to stay in the pitch I'm probably not going to be able to play tomorrow no no repercussion on his part and I mean without being over dramatic that was my life on the line right there so I'm sick of it it's happening way too much I watched tayor W you hit in the face last year have to get reconstructive surgery Justin Turner got hit in the face last year it's happening in an exponential rate guys are getting hit in the hand M best broke a bone in his hand this year it's it's just it's just ridiculous and it has to be adjust it has to be fixed or you know God forbid something terrible is going to happen if this hits me in a different spot I mean I I mean it's it's it's just pathetic it's frankly pathetic that some of the pictures that were onun out there that don't know where the ball's going at the major league level man I tell you what that hits home for me I understand what he's saying I got hit I got knocked out by Robert person 2002 3-1 pitch 98 right in my ear uh concussion knocked me out broke my helmet sliced my ear open it was it's super scary and then a couple years later no no that same year a couple weeks later bonds we threw inside the bonds you know bonds was still on the dish nobody hit him Gabe white so their closer I believe his name was Rodriguez he throws 99 I just come back from a concussion 99 hits me right in the shoulder Ricochet off my helmet I throw my helmet down bench is clear you know me it was you know melee whatever but I remember being like pissed off like I hear wh in Whit maryville's voice like he's pissed like you shouldn't be able to you shouldn't be in the box and feel like like your life's on the line seriously I'm I'm saying that I say that for real cuz that's a weapon when would you ever have a let somebody have a rock that throws it 100 miles an hour and and have a risk of somebody doming you in the head right I like I got hit I also got an orbital fracture not in the box but when I was in the big leagues when I first got there like wait you froze case you fro to wait another degree wait hold on you froze okay uh yeah I don't know what my connection the last sentence am I back your back okay getting hit in the face with a baseball dude it rattles you I don't care who you are I don't care how old you are you know we've had kids stop playing the game because they gotten hit not even in the face just in the ribs but you're talking about the 1centers the elite of the elite are now throwing the ball 100 100 I mean Ben Joyce threw 105.5 1055 dude the reaction time dude it's tough to react to that anything so any turn inward you know you saw Stanton get hit in the face a couple years ago I mean it's scary stuff so I understand what he's saying and back in the day we used to be like dude first off if you're going to do that someone's getting drilled someone's getting drilled but now the warnings come out so quick everybody's all oh warnings you know they don't let the players police the game anymore so I almost feel like I understand what marfield saying it is so scary getting hit in the head dude it's no joke concussion life-changing stuff it's it's it's just it's serious stuff I remember I just had my son Andrew at the time and it rattles you because you're like dude that's not okay that's not okay that's not why I play the game but I remember when guys used to pitch in and hit guys in the head you'd be like bro you're a big leager you can't big Leaguers got to have more control of the strike zone and more control of the baseball where it's going but nowadays that's what they're te teaching dude they're teaching velocity first doesn't matter where it's going just throw it let the ball work for you so you're not teaching command you're calling these guys up quicker than you've ever called them up before no one's really teaching them how to pitch so it's getting scarier so I love what Maryfield said like he's on the rules committee if you've ever been hit in the head before in the face you know what I mean like you're going to have a different perspective of what the heck's going on here so I don't know how they could police a chinch but I do know it's scary as hell and it's no joke and I'm I'm I mean I can find myself I find myself getting a little angry right now and a little upset about it because like I said you can look at that thing go oh dude got to play the game that's why that's why you get in the Box no that's not true I don't get in the Box get hit in the face I don't get hit in the I mean I'm a ninja right if you threw a ball in BP anywhere I could hit it where oh you want to hit five to right you want me to hit someone in dead center I'm a big leager if you're a big leager on the bump you should be able to hit the strike zone three Ines on either side up and down in the zone just above it just down not running it into guys faces and heads you know at at a at a rate that we've never SE uh haven't seen in a long long time or maybe ever back when the guys used to head hunt maybe like a Bob Gibson or something like that but that was a different generation so it's definitely worth a conversation and and I I see where Whit marfields coming having been hitting the head a few times and had a concussion and been knocked out and stuff it's it's scary stuff yeah I I love your passion a and I totally understand it and I agree with it and the other thing is in other sports hey look you need this you need first of all you want everybody on the field you want your best team on the field that's best for the fans that's best for the broadcast that's best for everybody and you want them to be safe other leagues have done some things look back in the day you you're talking about Bob Gibson you can't pitch like Bob Gibson anymore maybe put some rules in that these guys are now throwing that hard to do it that way you know you can't Clos line somebody in NFL anymore I mean I like looking at the videos it's pretty crazy to see 60s but you can't do that anymore you can't horse tackle a guy anymore maybe there's certain little adjustments they can very smartly make and they have very very very smart people in a league office to try to figure out a maybe you're gone you hit somebody in the face or head you're gone yeah you're ejected you're instantly ejected I I don't know like was saying like how do you protect the hitters how do you protect the hitter guys just get hit in the fa you're gone dude hit a guy in the face in the head you can't control a fast ball in the strike zone in the big legs you're You're gone you got to get better you'll start telling guys yay dude you can't you know you can't there's a difference between pitching up and in and throwing it at you know where it rides into guy's head like that so many guys are throwing two seamers now at a 100 and they you know can't control it's like it's scary I remember too in the paper after I got hit with I got hit in s in in Cincinnati we just happened to be going to San Francisco the next day and Scott Williamson was trying to defend me who was one of our closers at the time or or our setup guy at graves was like if they want to hit our guy in the fade we're gonna kind of and Drew threw that out there so the next day in the paper they're like oh there's K Casey and they're going Reds are looking for retaliation so sure enough you know I had mentioned in the I had mentioned you know like wh Mayfield did he's like dude I I have kids yeah and I said that I just had Andrew so I'm like dude I got kids like I'm not looking for a guy to throw 99 totally intentional throwing at me rocking it off my you know shoulder into my head like I had just been knocked out two weeks AG I said dude I have kids so we go out to San Francisco do I go on Deck my first time and these two dudes are just like we have kids too Casey we have kids so I'm like really is that what we're doing I love it great job man that's great stuff good insight for me D um one more thing from Whit marfield to Bobby Whit Jr and the poor poor Royals man that's an oxymoron poor Royals but you point to one reason why they have not won a game in a week since they tied the Cleveland Guardians you have one main reason why I think Vinnie pastino is that big of a deal to that team drove in 97 runs is is wit's protection and I just feel like dude and he has a he has energy about him too I just feel like I said it on MLB Central I think last week right when it happened probably about a week ago that you know it's going to be a big big loss losing Pas cantino in the middle of that lineup has 97 ribbies one of their B big run producers hitting 360 runners in scoring position you don't just go bring that guy up you don't just go find that guy off the bench like that's a legit piece that you're missing and you could see right now they lost seven row now's not the time to lose seven row but a lot of teams have you know no one really no one really capitalized on that you know no do you agree like no one really I'm looking at the standings right now but it looks like no one really capitalized on you know the them losing that many games right you know you got Boston's their tail spin dude they're they're 70 and 69 now and I said Boston 70 and 69 they they they they didn't do anything they lost they've lost four in a row mhm you know Detroit trying to make a run they're right you know a game above Seattle they're losing so like so many teams had a chance to make a run right now with Kansas City losing seven row and everyone's losing so yeah Kansas City's get is is getting lucky they're dodging a bullet right now yeah you separate you separate the men from the boys right now even looking in the National League the Dodgers are have a cushion they got a cushion now in that in that in that division it's just you can't you can't you can't waste games right now you just cannot waste games teams just there's only a few games left you can't slip up and and the Mets are coming half game back the Cubs need to you know keep going they're they're they're they're trying to get there they're three over 500 Atlanta can they hold on you know I mean who knows what's happening here I mean the best pitcher in baseball right now Atlanta does right exactly Chris there's no doubt gonna win the sa young but you know Mets are making a move and you know it's fun this is fun it's fun this what we're here for Mets were 11 games under 500 they are now 11 games over 500 and they are half game breathing down
