Caleb Durbin

Was it a question or a statement?

So he ended up coming up to me later on that day and was, like, you know, joking around with me, saying that he was at, you know, lunch with Craig Council, you know, a couple weeks beforehand, you know, when I got traded.

And I guess there's a player, Happy Durkin, that he used to have maybe back in the day, you know,

And so that became my new nickname was Happy.

Really?

Yeah.

So he only, he called me Happy from there on out.

Really?

Did anyone else call you Happy?

No, just him.

Really?

There's maybe one of the, a couple of the pitching coaches called me Happy too.

yeah do you like it are you offended like people no i liked it i liked it you know at the time when he you know he called me it you know it was everyone had their nickname yeah yeah that was like your rite of passage right to you know getting in with murph was he had a nickname for you so um that's a pretty good one yeah i will say that's one of his really strong suits is his ability to kind of be

He's very personable when he wants to be and can connect with you on a personal level.

That was his way of settling me in.

I get traded to a brand new team.

I haven't been up to the big leagues for the first time.

It's a little overwhelming.

He was always cracking jokes.

Just trying to help me settle in a little bit.
