 Giving back to the game and helping these players and teaching the game definitely what I think I was meant to do. I've been all over the place, 14 different organizations over 14 different years. A lot of ups and downs, peaks and valleys. It didn't get too comfortable anywhere so it's definitely a grind but there's a lot of really good parts of it and a lot of good pieces that I take from it. It's helped me build who I am as a person, as a father, as a husband. I enjoyed every minute of it. I wouldn't change a thing about it. I'm very blessed to get to play for so long and get to accomplish what I did, you know, after being in the minor leagues for so long. I meant to get to the big league level and get an opportunity to be in this game and this kind of atmosphere. It's a one-on-lifetime chance so I loved every bit of it. Wow, let's go, here we go. They don't work no more. You ain't got nothing to write about anyway. I think it was like two years before I was done. 2016 and 2018, I kind of saw my career kind of starting to come to an end. It's kind of losing the love to compete, work on hitting. The biggest thing for players is like the fear of what's next. After baseball, you put all your life and your soul into playing this game and you don't really have a plan B, you always act like you do but we're all scared of when it's all done. I'm going, I'm going that side because that thing's going to be right there. Start right there. I realized I didn't want to do anything else. Baseball is what I needed to do. That's where all my passion was. All my knowledge. I knew it would have to start all the way over. I just wanted to get back into coaching. Here you go, Jackie. Have a day, dawg. Have a day. T, your legs are nice, man. You got good legs. Here you go, Kate Dubb. Have a boy. I'm super energetic. I love to motivate. This game tears you down so much or so much negative and the numbers will tell you, you know, you're going to fail so much in this game. As long as I'm in this game, I'm trying to give as much energy to these players as I can. All the people don't realize in this game it's crazy, but it's fun. This is probably the easiest coaching staff to get involved with. The Counselor does such a great job at letting everybody be themselves and that kind of makes it easier for me to be myself. This is a great environment that Counselor has here that Matt and David have put together. The personalities just, they mesh really well. It makes it so easy to come to work. Guys get here early. They help me in so many different ways. This coaching staff is unreal. Yeah, boy, sling it. I don't feel good today, huh? These guys come here all day to work, especially on hitting. Hitting is such a big part of this game. So the focus is always on that, on that, on that. I try to get them to switch on to something else. You know, it's not cool in the big leagues to kind of be loud. But in my mind, as a base coach especially, your job is to motivate. Come on, Vogue! To energize. Come on! It's to inform. Head up with him because he probably ain't going to send him on nothing. It's to click guys on. That boy! Right here, right here, right here, right here! Go home! Right there! The best part of coaching to me is just seeing guys who are working so hard every single day and put all this time and effort in since spring training to 12 o'clock until game starts have success. The rewards are what make this game great. For me, you know, building relationships around a league has been, mainly because I've just been shipped off everywhere. I think because I have so many good relationships with players on both sides of the field, guys trust me a little bit more. It's easy for me just because I've been through so much. Like I've said many times, I understand this game. It's so hard. I know where everybody's at. You know, it's so easy to read on these guys' faces when you've done it and seen it, been a part of it for so long. It's easy for me to connect to them and where they're at in this point in time. What makes me come to work every single day? This opportunity to come out here and be in this atmosphere is something special. You know, baseball is such a small part of your life. Going through the grind with the players every single day, you got to enjoy it. Like I said, when they're rewarded through their results, you get to be a part of it and it's super duper special, man. Super special.
