00:28nothing too crazy well here was will clark explaining that situation yeah yeah devers comes

00:34over from boston and you have an opportunity to meet him right so matt williams and bob melvin want

00:41me to go out there and work with him around first base no problem and we weren't we weren't gonna

00:47like go through anything physical we're just gonna walk through and say hey look if throws coming from

00:52over there stand this way throws coming from over there stand that way it wasn't gonna be this big

00:57thing right and friday saturday sunday he did not come out early at all period not at all now in

01:05fact he didn't he didn't even hit on the field right and everybody's like oh my god i'm so sorry

01:10will i'm so sorry i'm like hey don't worry about it i said i know what happened i said he didn't want

01:16to go out and be at first base and be 20 feet in front of their freaking dugout with you know what

01:23went on in boston and now he's working with me at first base he didn't he didn't want to have to go

01:38vibes you're willing to blow off david ortiz uh-huh you're willing to you just got you just arrived at

01:45work aren't the like the first week at a new job aren't you supposed to be gung-ho and ready to do

01:51everything and they want you to spend a little time with will clark and you're blowing it off

01:56three times in a row yeah it's a bad look okay you finally no no i i have always said that it's a bad

02:02look that that raffi devers is it comes across like a dink i just think that everything started

02:08with the way the red sox treated him like it all started from the top right now now that is there's no

02:14excuse for him now being on another team and treating them quite similarly yeah but i mean

02:19sound of muzak in the twitch chat says they are fine with a dink that can rake so um is he really

02:29even raking no not right now no no but he's still a good hitter but he you have to be if you're gonna

02:36be fine then you gotta be i don't know i feel like you have to be like if i'm gonna deal with

02:43some of the bs and maybe you're getting a little bit of a slump here or there but i need you to be

02:48like judge or show a where you're constantly like raking all the time and this year he just

02:54kind of wasn't doing that for a period of time
