You know, these aren't exactly
guys that you look at and say,
wow, murderers row.
So, you know, I think he had a
large part in maturing them to
what they became and I think he
wanted to take some ownership
over that.
But it was, it was fascinating
for me to see that 360 view of
that.
You know, what's interesting is
a lot of people talked about.
Grady didn't come off real good
in the dock, right?
And so you being the guy front
and center, um, how, how do you
square that?
You think he came off?
Ok.
And how difficult is that when
you hear O'Grady didn't come off
real well.
You feel bad that he sat down?
I don't I haven't seen that part
yet so I can't give you my
personal assessment.
I think Grady came off like, uh
like he is, he's just, you know
, he's kind of that old school
manager, you know, it's got over
analytics, which was prevalent
back Then.
Um And, you know, he's got those
old kind of southern
colloquialisms that come into
play that are, are, are, are
very good.
I don't think information he
might not come off as, you know
, and he got fired.
So, you know, I don't think he
ever said he'd, he'd have done
it differently, would have gone
out.
And no, no, what was surprising
is not only did he say that,
that he would have kept Pedro in
the game but every player Vitek
uh millar, Bill Miller, all the
guys on the mound when Grady
comes out the first time and he
leaves them in.
Every one of those people said
100%.
I back Grady, we should have
left him in the game and the
only ones who kind of second
guess that were front office
ownership fans and, you know,
some sort of like, I don't know
, in the dugout with the other
starting pitchers and some of
the bullpen, but nobody went as
far as saying we should have
taken him out.
He had a 2.2 60.
That was, that's fascinating.
That's really, I mean, that,
that's really compelling stuff.
Hey, we've already mentioned
kevin Millar's name far too many
times from my taste and, and the
big reveal that you gave us is
that Millar was going to go to
Japan.
He barely speaks English for
God's sakes.
Imagine this guy in foreign soil
for a year at a time.
So because you spent time with
Kevin, because we are
reluctantly familiar with kevin
, we're wondering if you would
indulge and play a game with us.
Colin, we call it.
What did Kevin Millar say?
It's not easy to decipher.
You have to have a decoder ring
among other skills to figure out
what exactly he was trying to
convey in the Queen's English.
Here's the first one.
See if you can figure this out.
Kevin knowing this one.
I had a minute.
Any idea, any idea at all?
Yeah, that's see him saying that
uh he didn't want to trade for
Doug Mankiewicz because Doug
Mankiewicz took uh his position
over from the sixth and the
ninth inning.
That's excellent.
Yeah.
Oh, very well played.
Here's, here's the, here's your
second one.
Here we go.
One more.
Yeah, Britney, my girl has T mos
we're coming at you tomorrow.
You tea.
What happened?
What?
Oh, yeah, I got ut in there.
So Finley veiled football
commentary.
What do you think?
No, that's him reminding us that
he hit three home runs.
July 23rd the day before Vitek.
It's hard to decipher but he, he
hit three home runs the day
before the brawl with and a rod
and he just, that's how he
reminds you.
You're so good at this.
We have to do one more one.
Just one last figure.
Well, here we go, verbs, verbs
is that no noun.
A eiou.
Mm I think that might have been
a self reflective moment about
the Mike Ditka mustache.
He was cultivating.
What do you think?
Yeah, that's uh that's probably
one of the conversations he used
to have with Tito when he went
in and said I need more bats.
So good.
He might have actually been
saying in his own way that the
comeback is on Netflix and
available for str uh screening.
And it's uh something that I
can't wait to dive into and
watch and Colin.
We sure appreciate the visit.
Thanks for sharing some of the
production insights and some of
the stories that you learned
along the way and we can't wait
to watch the Doc man.
Thanks for being on.
Thanks for having me.
I appreciate you are the perfect
guy to do that dock, man.
No doubt.
Great job.
Thanks.
