 What's up guys? Welcome back to sequence. I'm your host Trevor Plouf. This episode is brought to you by draft Kings and back for a bat. Number two young slug or Austin Meadows. What's up, dude? What's up? What's up? What's up? You're a. So you're at home. We're recording this. You're you're at home now. You tested positive for covid. Yeah. And it's been quite the process. I mean, do you want to share with with people kind of? Yeah. What's been going on? Yeah, it hasn't it hasn't been easy for sure. I mean, you know, I've had some mild symptoms and, you know, I was pretty tired early on and then once I got my energy back, I'm able to, you know, get back out. The hardest thing is not being at the field with your teammates. I mean, that's the hardest thing in trying to find to continue to stay in shape and continue to to hit and throw at your house is just it's not ideal. So obviously you get your working at the field and it's it's definitely been a really hard time. But like I said, you know, back pretty soon. So I'm going to keep a keep a level head. I'm just excited to get back out there with the guys. That was kind of my question when all this started was like, what's a guy going to do when he test positive? He has to, you know, be quarantined. Yeah. Are you going into the field at off hours? Or are you just strictly doing stuff at home? Like, how is that process where you're keeping yourself ready? Yeah. Well, you have to isolate so you can't leave your house. So the only time I go outside is to hit. Or to throw into a net and luckily we have a place down here that's on the water. So being able to access that and being able to swim in the pool outside has been nice and stuff being stuck inside all day. Not ideal, but you know, so hopefully hopefully we can get a change of scenery here soon. Yeah, we're recording this is actually opening day for everybody today and we're hoping to get you back in there very soon because I do have my prediction for the World Series and it does involve the Tampa Bay Rays winning it and you're a big part of that. So looking forward to getting you back on the field, man. I love everything about that org and like I said, you're a big part of it. I'm excited inside to watch tonight.

still a coach when you were there or last year as well so we're happy for Charlie like that it's good to see him getting a shot in Toronto he's got some bombers up there too what do you think about the Blue Jays I think they got a lot of young studs for sure you know I think growing up I mean not growing up but going through the system with Reese being the catcher I've played a lot with Rowdy is Rowdy to less what oh I love Rowdy yeah stupid pop a lot of those other guys I got a lot of young young studs so I think they have a bright future and they're fun to play against alright so this is this about from 2019 you're in Toronto I think you've already hit a home run in this game and this is your second back of the day facing the same picture Thornton here yeah I'm feeling it here I mean I'm feeling it I'm at I'm at a I'm on a pretty pretty good streak right now so I'm one of those seated at the best yeah it's a great feeling so I'm feeling it here you can tell in the rhythm and stuff so what do you do when you're feeling it what do you do to keep that feeling like how do you bottle it up what's your what's your recipe for that man I tell you what I don't think about anything when I'm hitting like when you're feeling it you don't think you know obviously when and when I say don't think like you just see the ball hit the ball so when you're when you're going through a tough time obviously at the plate you think about everything you think about your hands and think about your your feet you think about everything your hips blah blah blah but when you're when you're going good you show up to the field and you know you're getting two or three hits that night it's a confidence thing and I think that's the biggest thing is it's a mental game more than anything I miss that feeling that's true you show up to the field you're like I don't care who's on the mound like I'm putting one in the seats right no doubt about it only if we could have that all the time right well that's the thing some guys do bro okay and like think about Mike Trout you know yeah he doesn't have any he doesn't have any doubts for sure it's insane you know it's way off subject but it's funny you bring that up you think about guys I play with Jim Tomase hits over six hundred home runs think about six hundred home runs bro that's ten years of sixty yeah twenty years of thirty like this is in these are insane number every here's a successful year regardless that is something that I mean I wish I had that I wish I had I battled every every about I have but I got to say awesome meadows career starting off pretty good all star in your second season so let's get you back on the field there's an is there an all star team this year season maybe I don't know I may maybe like a yeah not like the actual game but maybe just like a team I don't know we need you on that love that all right let's start this a bad up you're feeling yourself you're locked in you hit a home run ready I can kind of tell you like look hitter ish you feel hitters look hitters yeah it's a good feeling that tap little funk right there from Thornton got some fun yeah he's got some fun for sure and this is what it's also another thing too where you just you're taking you know it's one of the when you're in a funk you kind of you're looking early you're looking to hit early when you're feeling good it's almost kind of like all right let him let him make his pitches and then wait for that one mistake that was autotake autotake okay all right so oh one little bit of fun lot of fun good layoff right there good layoff of the zone he's got a little bit of care he's got a little bit of fun so it can be tough to pick up pick up a little bit pick up early so you got to stay with it yeah those guys are tough man here he goes again so okay 89 slider cutter thing 92 fastball so not a lot not a big difference right not a big difference just a little bit of cut there are you some guys as hitters like when a guy was that close 92 89 I liked it I felt like then my timing was kind of like the same and it was just about pitch recognition then no sure do you like that or do you like the guys with the slow curve and the fastball so you can kind of see right away okay does that grinkies no I don't where that curve balls what 60 miles an hour yeah tough not fun no I do like you say I do like the guys that they do have that you know the guys that really have that different speed is tough so like you said this this little cutter 89 monar cutter I mean once you get the barrel to the right spot you know you can hit it long ways so that's right all right one two now usually I'd say you're battling but you're feeling it right now so you you just still locked in get your a swing on about to I mean with two strikes when you're in that spot you just feel like it's too low I mean you feel like you see everything you've seen all those pitches so you kind of just react you know now I see him flash the osby pitch oh yeah I got that one good that was the curve ball and they can't even show dropping they couldn't pan out fast enough and out best let's go see that again all right I see the curve all size is Jansen catching probably I don't know who's catching actually but let's see let's see where this thing ends up just right in the wheelhouse baby right in the wheelhouse look at that again that's one two three four fifth deck in Toronto everyone's going nuts you're like whatever I knew I was going to do that really I know I once I found out the dugout that I was I was pretty surprised I'm not going but I know I hit it good regardless oh man I got to see that one more time because I want everyone to kind of just notice how relaxed you are hitting with two strikes right here regardless if you're locked in or not like kind of like this is how you should be with two strikes well for sure yeah don't panic no panic just react to something in the zone luckily you made a mistake right there you see him give the curve ball you see how comfortable you are and then just to hang it and hang it dang bro I love hitting Toronto I don't know how you feel about it clearly seems like you like it it's a good spot to hit yeah it's a good spot to hit well they're not going to be there this year buffalo right you know what's funny is that brand allowed to hit the same thing that he had two home runs and he had always obviously the same fifth deck the same game as me wow crazy all right the bombers my raise man we got a little bit a little bit of friendly competition there so here's the slow mo oof yeah I got that one he knew was gone you knew it was gone I love it man I'm looking forward to getting you back on the field I love your setup your swing like I said like when you see guys like yourself that have that repeatable swing yeah it's it's it's a key for success so I'm looking forward to it man and I appreciate you coming on yeah dude I appreciate last year's exciting year and it's a lot going on right now so hopefully we can just continue to just play baseball and win some games raise 2020 world champs baby do it I'm calling it do it I love it alright man
