Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, I think, you know, for sure. My wife probably won't like the answer, you know, the best. You know, our child being born is probably maybe a little bit higher than that. Yeah, but it's definitely close. You know, it was really cool, really special day all the way around friends and family, all that stuff. It was a ton of fun to celebrate a birthday with, you know, the Cy Young Award.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, am I allowed to cuss? Yeah, of course. Oh, yeah, okay, cool. I basically woke up and was like, I really hope they don't fuck it up. You know, that's what I thought. But, yeah, I didn't really know. Obviously, when the voting comes out, I didn't know if it was going to be unanimous.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Obviously, the other guys that were on the ballot obviously had great years, and you can make arguments all the way around for whoever you want to make arguments for. So that was pretty cool, too, to win it unanimously. I think that that's pretty special.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
After. So I got the award. I mean, the back story on that is my wife at the beginning of the year – I kind of jokingly said, you can get it because I've always been wanting a new car for whatever reason. Every time I get a car, I just want another car. It's like that toxic thing that happens. Beginning of the year, I was all off-season. Last off-season, I was talking about getting a new car.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
She goes, okay, if you win a Cy Young award this year, I'll buy you a new car. I said, all right, cool. I've been giving her grief about it like, hey, I'm going to win and you don't have a car for me. And I got done wrapped up with the interview stuff yesterday. And she's like, Hey, I want to go outside. I said, am I going to get like a pie in the face? What's going on?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Is this where the champagne goes? And, and then there's a car sitting in my driveway and I'm like, there's no way you just got me a car. And she's like, yeah, this is your car. And I was like, I didn't, I was so shocked. I didn't believe it. I mean, that was kept under wraps really well.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yes. That's an easy yes. You know, my name has been butchered my whole life. I stop even caring how people pronounce it. You call me Tariq Tariq. It doesn't matter to me anymore. And I don't think that they expect to see me.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So I just learned that last week. I got asked the question, like, your name means strike in Arabic. I go... I mean, cool. That's really cool. And it just so happens to be kind of my job is to throw strikes. So yeah, I thought that that's, I mean, that's pretty interesting.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think when I came back from surgery last year, I mean, the second half of last year was pretty special and dominant as well if you look at the numbers.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
it was it was a pretty special season and then I had a good healthy off season and when I got into spring training my body just felt good and you know throughout the whole season I think I made 31 or whatever starts I felt good for you know 31 starts which is I don't know if a lot of guys can say that and you know I felt good in between and there's some lulls and you take your bumps and bruises and stuff but I felt good and I think when you're healthy as an athlete and
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
you can just continue to work on things and continue to get better. And I think that that's, you know, where greatness happens. And I was able to do that for a full season.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So I think that that was just the most important thing, but I don't, I don't know if there was one start, you know, I go back to the Cincy game where I think I struck out 13 and that was pretty special just because that morning I was told I was an all-star. And then I went out and had that performance, you know, and I was like, this is all kind of happening.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I've never put my name or myself with All-Stars or with Cy Young guy. I just have never really associated myself with that. And then when that start happened, I'm like, holy shit, I am an All-Star. And then you start thinking of yourself like, I am actually that much. I'm good. I'm very good at this game. And that confidence was able to kind of ride with me the rest of the year.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I watched that start probably, I mean, 20 times after. I'm like, I couldn't get hit that day. You know, I'm like, this is unbelievable. It's a feeling that it's – I mean, I just got done golfing. It's like a pure, like, eight iron, you know, and it's like that's the best feeling in sports.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, that's the fastest. In game was like – I think it was 101.6 this year I think was to – It was Therese Hoskins, too, and he fouled it off. I'm like, dude, my hardest heaters are always fouled off. I'm like, why are you missing them? I'm throwing this as hard as I can for you to miss it, not to foul it off. But yeah, that was the hardest heater I've had.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I give it hell when it's 102, it's everything I got. There's nothing else in there. It's not like, oh, I'm saving 104 for next season. It's pretty much I'm throwing it as hard as I can. When my velocity spikes in games, it's because I'm actually just throwing the ball as hard as I can and not really worrying about where it's going as much.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah. Whenever the pitch comes through, I just think, throw the shit out of this to this spot, and that's it. And then I throw it. That's really with every pitch. I think it's a pretty simple approach when I'm on the mound. It's like, fastball up and in, and I'm like, alright, throw the shit out of the fastball to this spot. Whether it goes there or not, it probably doesn't really ever go there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I think that's one of the biggest... People are like, oh, I'm a command guy. I hit spots. It's like, no, you really never do. It's like 20% of the time you're hitting it. So, I mean, I'm focused on the spot. But if it goes there, awesome. If it doesn't go there, at least I gave it everything I had.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, I mean, first off, to have the respect of you and Dave that day when, what was that, in Cleveland?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, no, first off, to have the respect for that tweet to be formulated and sent out, I was like, holy shit, I made it. You know, I'm like, this is like making Pinching Ninja for the first time. You're like, holy shit, you know, I made it to this. So to get that, that was pretty cool. But, yeah, I think that, I mean, the Haas thing is pretty, I mean, I think it's a hilarious one.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But, two, it's something that, you know, as a pitcher, you want to take pride in, you know, being in the biggest games or, you know,
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
you know big moments you know when a team needs it and you just kind of show up and do your thing i think there's a ton of pride to be having that yeah i forgot it i tweeted scoobles a hoss and dave tweeted scoobles a hoss like three seconds apart yeah it was like a minute apart i walked in i walk in the clubhouse after the game and i think we we had just like came back in game two or whatever and i think we hit a homer off class a which never happens he doesn't give up any runs um
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And we went, and I checked my phone, and our, like, PR guy comes over with his phone and has the tweets, like, set up from YouTube. And I was like, holy fuck, that's really cool.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You got to be a little fat.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Do you have to be left-handed to be a Haas or are there right-handed Haases?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Okay, so Haas is here. Haas is, like, higher.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah. That's a fact. Is Bartolo Colon a Haas?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
When he was at his peak. King Haas. Prime Bartolo was – I mean, he was throwing 97, 98. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was always kind of bigger and fatter. I mean, his workouts are – you watch his workouts tough. It looks unbelievable.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That guy was a hoss. Roger Clemens.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
There's a lot of hoss out there. The Rocket might be the biggest hoss.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
um so she called me the next day well i called her the next day like talking about the tweet and i kind of like the interactions that may come of it or if you want your account private like go prep you know all that kind of stuff um uh first off i was like that's hilarious um and second she's like sweetie you can't be doing this you know talking to the other team's fans like it's it's a dangerous thing for you like you just gotta play baseball and get back in the dugout and i'm like
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
you should have seen the amount of middle fingers and booze and like, fuck yous that I had to where I'm like, all right, I got to reciprocate something, especially on that day. You know, I, I was obviously having success and, um, was able to pitch in and out of situations, you know, big moments and, and keep my team in a series when we're down one, nothing already.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So like there was some stuff already going on and there's a little bit of dugout stuff, you know, coming back and forth. And I thought that that it all led to that moment. And, uh, Yeah, I think that that was – I locked eyes with the fan, and he was like double birding, you know, fuck you, and then it was just right back to him, you know, and I was like, oh, shit.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I probably shouldn't have done that. You know, that felt like too much of a real interaction. No, it's good.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
It was good all the way around. It's good.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
It's October.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I mean, that environment, too. Hats off to those fans. That place was rock. That place was buzzing. Like, that place was – that was a really good environment for a season game. And we played in Houston, too, and Houston's loud. And obviously they have the history of, you know, all the rings and all the winning there. But I thought Cleveland was a better environment.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, I think, you know, going into spring training, my goal for the season was just to make the playoffs. You know, I wanted to at the beginning of the year, believe it or not, we were supposed to like I was like, all right, let's just win our division, you know. And then all of a sudden our division was one of the best divisions in baseball. And we had three playoff teams in there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And it's like I didn't predict that. First off, I think if you ask anyone, they'd all say that, too. But then, you know, I wanted to play in the playoffs. And then you kind of see that we were sellers at the deadline, you know, got rid of guys, you know,
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And then just the youth movement, I think we were the youngest team in the big leagues the last month and a half of the season, and we did something really special. And all those guys are coming back. I saw a tweet the other day that we don't have anyone leaving, I think, from the roster that we had. No one's leaving with free agency.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
They all can be tendered contracts and in arbitration and stuff like that. So that's pretty special. And then obviously, whatever additions they make, you know, in the off season is only going to help us, you know, help our team, you know, wherever they see fit. And yeah, but I'm excited, you know, to get back to spring training with the boys and, and do it all over again.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
It was, it was weird though, you know, we got eliminated and, you know, I think in the moment it sucks, you know, obviously, you know, I give up a grand slam and I can like sit and pout about it or whatever, but our team was like, all right, cool. Like we're going to be fucking back next year. There was no like pouting. It was like, all right, we're good.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know, Hey, we lost today, but we'll be back next year. You know, there was no like doubt or like.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
you know guys weren't like upset it was just like hey we're gonna be back there's no panic and i'm like that's i thought that that was really cool uh just to see our guys right after you know a big moment and the media is shoving cameras in your face and wants to get the emotional reaction and our i think it was pretty unanimous from our whole team look at that word i just used um there we go um
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
yeah i think our whole team was kind of like no we'll be back you know there's no sweat in this um it was a hell of a run but we're ready to do it again next year so i thought that that was really cool so do you want to use this time right now to announce your new contract
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
the fan support of, or, you know, whoever's running the Twitter accounts to have the support of, of they want me to be in Detroit, you know, long-term. And I think that that's really special, obviously, just because they've been very supportive of me and my journey when I wasn't so good, you know, three, four years ago. So that it means a lot for sure.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I hope you guys are right.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Oh, back to back.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You got to make sure you pee first. I got you. I got you. That's awesome. He gave you the whole tour of everything? Yeah, he did. That place was really cool.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Who will die for me. Yeah. That's more than zero, so that's awesome.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I might throw him a follow. Yeah. What's his tag?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Well, that's literally his ass. Yeah, that's his ass.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I want to know what his bet slip looked like. I mean, he had to have – if he's telling people to hammer it, you have to take it yourself, you know, right?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You're already net positive, so it's – I mean, it's house money.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You just need another one to hit. Yeah, exactly. It's like angel investing, you know, a little bit of money here and then you just need one guy to hit it and you make more money.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
The one that sits right here.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
You know, I don't really like making the game selfish. You know, it's a team sport. It's not just me versus another team. You know, it's individual in an aspect of, like, it's me versus the hitter and there's that stuff going on. But I just want to win. You know, I think the best thing in sports is winning. It cures everything. Oh, I had a bad game. We won. Who cares? On to the next day, you know.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So, yeah. Yeah, I just want to win. I think, you know, individually, triple crown Cy Young. Obviously, you want to do that again and maybe some more all-star appearances and, you know, put that on the resume. But... It all wouldn't mean as much if I don't have a ring, if not multiple.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
At least that's why I play the game, is to win World Series rings and go perform on that stage in that environment. That's when baseball is at its purest. There's no more individual stuff. That's what was awesome about the postseason this year.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
nobody gave a shit if you were 0 for 4 with four punches but that fifth at bat you bonded the guy over to second base and we scored him like you had a hell of a day you know it's like nobody i think that that's that's when the game's at its purest so that's kind of where i'm at you know mentally i'm gonna you know individually i'm gonna look at i just want to be healthy you know i think i'm gonna do everything i can to be healthy but um that's kind of where the individual stuff ends for me it's more becomes a team thing and and world series rings
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Uh, I think I look horrible with it, but I think it's a fun thing to do, uh, in an off season. You know, I think when I got a hat on, it actually looks great. But, um, other than that, I look really old and, um, it's not really cool to be old in my sport. I want to look youthful.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Like I just turned 28. Like, that's not that cool. You know, you're young, but you're also kind of old. Um, so, uh, yeah, I don't really like looking old. I'm trying to play my sport and feel young.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That could be SIGs and beers related, though. That's true. That's true.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I had, well, one, I think they came right before opening day and I was starting the next day. I didn't really want to fuck with my routine. So that was one. That's probably not a great excuse. But two, my wife and son were there and I didn't want to leave them in the hotel room by themselves. I just felt like a shitty dad. No, you're right. I should have brought them.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I just didn't really think, you know, there's going to be six guys, my wife, and then, you know, at the time it was, how old was he? This is going to be bad math out of me, but... I'm not good at math. Five months old.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah, he can do the gauntlet. He can crawl pretty good. He's not to walking yet, but he's crawling pretty good.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Whenever we play the White Sox or Cub, I don't think we go to the Cubs next year, but whenever we play the White Sox first series, I'll make sure to get in there.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And do the whole thing and. I think that'll be fun. Who did it for us? Tork this year?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
That's not good. He went to ASU. It's the whole kind of thing. He's always been a baseball player. He's always been a baseball player. He hits the shit out of a baseball, and that's great.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
But, yeah, I think – I actually remember I pulled it up on – I was watching it live. I watched this whole thing live. I think they, like – you guys put out a tweet, like, he's about to go, and I watched the whole thing live, and I was like, damn, he did pretty good.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
No, for sure.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I want to pause. Why do you only have 50 at-bats if you're a good hitter?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
I played one year. I think there's a full legit defense behind you.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
When runners get on, it's a situation stuff. They can turn double plays.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
My advice would be to throw it very slow. The slower, like you're trying to gain velocity. I think once you get to like 65, 70 miles an hour, that's when guys are going to start unleashing on it because it flattens out a little bit. It's less loop. So my advice would be to hone in a really slow pitch over the zone. And I think that you will do really well.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Yeah. I think that that's when one position guys get in there and you can kind of see they get a little amped up and they start, you know, letting it rip because they want to, you know, there's VLO guns everywhere in the stadium and they want to start lighting it up or just like. Oh, yeah, I can throw 74. It's like, yeah, you're going to throw 74, and it's going to get 110 out, and it's way gone.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So if you want to get outs, the guys that I think are really good are guys that throw it over the zone. And with baseballs too, like the slower you – this is going to sound like nerdy, but – The slower you throw it, there's more times for seam effects to happen, and your ball will cut and sink, and it'll be a little awkward to hit.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
So I think if you can dial in a 45-mile-an-hour fastball and throw it on the two seams, don't throw it on the four seams, throw it on the two seams, it'll cut for you and do some cool sinking stuff.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Okay, I would throw it. So this is the baseball.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Right? Throw it on these two seams.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
And throw it like 45 miles an hour.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Like these seams, you know, does that make sense to you?
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest

yeah yeah like throw it right down the middle and it'll cut sometimes and it'll sink sometimes and it'll be it'll be like you're throwing two pitches and um whoever's catching good luck you know some yeah yeah yeah because uh i've noticed when i when i throw like i throw a it's not a sinker it's a two seamer but When I throw it less hard, it cuts, and it's a nightmare.

And I can only throw that pitch as hard as I – like I have to throw that pitch hard to get it to go the way I want it to go.

So that's like the whole – it'll be – that'll be a good pitch for him.
Pardon My Take

Yeah, he's smart. He's great at his job, especially the pitching department. He's dominated that. I think it speaks about, one, who we've hired, and then, two, the guys that are developing on our team. So he's really good at that stuff. But I enjoy him as a person, too, a guy to grab a drink with. He's amazing. You can tell, too.

You can tell, you know, in his younger days, he probably got after it a little bit. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
AL Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal, Rex Ryan, An Awesome Snow Game On TNF, Week 12 Picks And Preview + Fyre Fest
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think his job... He has to do that to keep his job. Yeah, yeah. No, I get what you're saying. I think that that's why he's a good fit for us.
