 Nice. Let's do it. All right. All right Nothing nice is days out got a little rain when you see rain in the forecast and you're driving to the ballpark or if you see it In the week ahead and you got some games going on. Does it make you want to stay in bed a little bit longer? I have been always I always want to get the games in I like to just keep on schedule I think play as players you either want them to call it early or you want to find a way to play the last thing you want to do is stay until 9 30 10 o'clock then start you know, you know, I mean and no one then have them cancel it because you're gonna have to make That game up anyway, so you'd rather get that off day rather than doesn't really seem like an off day And you do get to the ballpark and then there's a rain delay. What are you doing inside the clubhouse? Like what is the go-to thing for you? You know if I'm pitching and it's a delay I kind of stay in the way room and sort of keep the heart rate off try to get an idea Then I can kind of shut it back down and restart it But if we don't know and it's potential is going to start soon I kind of like to try to stay in the mindset that this thing's happening soon and be ready You're from Illinois and you're near a very Famous and popular spot rips tavern. Yes. Yeah, you go there rips That is famous. I got the lockdown on the fried chicken market So he's nice whenever you could kind of talk about something that reminds you about home It's fun to just even right now like Remember that and think about that or you have those good memories and you can kind of you know Just sense the atmosphere from 20 25 years ago when you're a kid going there So it's fun to talk about that stuff If you have to tell baseball fans one place in the city to definitely hit Where would it be? So if somebody goes to Philadelphia, where are they heading and why? I look back and that was one of my first sushi experiences was going to Morimoto there and I feel like that's a good It's got a good reputation really good food. How about Seattle? Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. It's like an old-school steakhouse. Okay, I'm really good There you go. So how about Houston? The Inn at the ballpark. It's a hotel And they have a little lobby and a little restaurant right in the lobby They got good food and right next to that as a place called Vick and Anthony steak Toronto One of my favorite spots is called the carbon bar and you might not think of it, but they have like your barbecue Smoke platter. Do you order nap with it too or? That just hits you as you're leaving. That just comes. Yeah, you're ready for bed as soon as you get home from that one So how about Pittsburgh? It was like Nikki's tie Really good. We got takeoff from there a lot every day and that's right downtown. Yeah, pretty much every day amazing That leaves New York. What you got? Yeah last year. I guess we went to this really good steakhouse down on like 34th or 36th street called Keen's The real old-school place. There's like pipes all over the wall from Guys that used to come in and smoke their pipe and they just leave it there But the next time they came back Pretty cool vibe So I'm gonna bring this back out of all the places that you just named his rips Better than all of them for a one-time experience to get yourself fried chicken Small-town hometown feel I'd rate that number one for a one-time only awesome If you search you online your name, there's a fan out there. It was her birthday and she actually Put your face on her birthday cake and she was surprised by her co-workers Really? That's a special fan right there. I can see you guys like judge. I can see his face being on a lot of cakes Not so much Jay hat, but I will take it. There's another photo of you Online where somebody snapped the photo of you on the subway that was After my first start in New York after I got traded. I was real paranoid that I was gonna miss my stop So I have to every stop I kept looking at the map make sure I'm not missing it But it was later. I didn't know that you know, I didn't have a car up there So I didn't know how guys usually did stuff. I was still trying to figure that out So that was different. There's probably fans out there who are wondering if or when you will ever get Twitter or Instagram or Facebook or whatever And the reason why I asked is because when you had first start playing like none of that was really around, right? You know when it happens so gradually over time or it happens and then you get used to it within a week So you don't even remember sort of what it was like without it Like you think of sort of the clubhouse atmosphere and like guys weren't on their phones all the time You know and now a lot of times people are and guys like to stay connected and see what's going on some guys Really enjoy it use it. Well, I've been in the big week now for what over 10 years. Yeah That was always the dream. I mean that was always Coming up. You took you here guys talk about the tenure mark So we go back to 2005 when you were at the Lake of Blue Claws, right? Long time ago you had the flow back I remember that you had the locks and yeah, your style has changed a little bit over the years Yes, it has and you've been going with the bald head look which is good. Look I had to do it. I had no choice. But yeah, do you miss that look? I honestly don't barely remember what it's like to like do anything after I shower with the hair like I have no idea I Asked a few different people if they had to guess what type of outfit that you'd wear What like what would it be? And I got everything from boots and a cowboy hat to Like very like j crew Okay, you know yeah So you got literally anything and everything in the spectrum the fit that you've been wearing this entire spring training It's a nice comfortable relax like what you got on right now for sure It's nice now like a lot of you even your nicer clothes when we travel and stuff they have things that stretch and move and moist your wick and You're just trying to find the right fit, you know You want to have the clothes that fit your right and that can be a challenge for for me So it takes a while to find that so I'm the kind of guy if I find something that I like I think it fits right I'll try to get you in every color that you got Isn't it crazy that when you're in the minors? People don't really understand or know where you're going or what you do But then once you get to the big leagues, then all of a sudden it's like wow Jay plays baseball Right, yeah, and there's also there's also the side where it's like oh you got drafted when you're gonna be on Whatever I think you know some people might not even realize the minor league side of it that there's levels to work through And there's no guarantee, you know, it seems like everything's really paid off though Because now you're here in New York and over ten years in the bigs It's one of those you know cliches you just have would have no idea if you didn't own ten years ago The trajectory the path everything the ups the downs I think it's what makes the game so fun and so difficult and so rewarding and so frustrating and Just all those emotions over the course of your career that you never know how it's gonna play out It's just you know you get drafted and you just have this dream where it's I'm gonna do whatever it takes You know and it's never gonna be a situation where I don't think I can do it. It's like I'm just gonna outlast everybody if I can you know, it's like I'm gonna do literally whatever I can do
