| 0:00.0 | So I mean, I got my first win against the Angels who, you know, gave me up for, you know, bag of potato chips and sit me on my way. They didn't want me around anymore. And I made it a point that every time I saw them, I was going to remind them who I was that they gave up. And it's going to be the same way with the Indians. And, you know, I still have great relationships with the guys over there. |
| 0:25.5 | And there's still a great ball team with, you know, one of the greatest managers in the game of baseball. |
| 0:27.4 | So, I mean, it's going to be fun competing against them. And I, yeah, I want to shove it down their throat. |
| 0:30.4 | Yeah, for sure. |

| 1:27.9 | and why he's out to prove to everybody that he can be the Mike Clevenger, |
| 1:33.2 | who was one of the best pictures in baseball from 2017 to 2020. |
