Want to know what I love the most

0:02

about baseball? Kicking back, ordering a Corona and

0:04

enjoying the ride together. From the moment we

0:06

all bail on work to enjoy opening day

0:08

to the last play of the postseason, baseball

0:10

is the one sport where anything can happen.

0:12

Any team can catch fire, go on

0:14

a run and take their fans

0:16

to the promisland. And there's nothing

0:18

quite like cracking open a Corona

0:20

and enjoying every unpredictable moment with

0:22

your friends. So go ahead, turn

0:24

the cheap seats into your own

0:26

private island with an ice-cold Corona.

1:19

why he might have a different

1:21

look coming your way in 2025.

2:01

Stadium as we welcome in

2:03

A.L. Sign Award winner, Terrick

2:06

Scuba. All right, so it's Kingman,

2:08

Arizona, right? Oh yeah. All right. I've

2:10

never heard of it. So lay down

2:12

the law here. What are kids in

2:14

high school doing Kingman, Arizona? These days,

2:17

I don't know. But when I was

2:19

in high school. We'd go to Sonic,

2:21

you know, and hang out and have

2:23

those little slushy drinks and you know.

2:25

That was the big fry to your

2:28

Saturday night. Yeah, there's two Sonics. You

2:30

went to the old one or the

2:32

new one, depending on what high school

2:34

you went to. And we did like

2:36

bonfires and stuff. You know, there's deserts.

2:38

You just go, I don't know if this

2:41

is legal, but you'd go take the, you

2:43

know, the wood plates from like behind the...

2:45

Like stores, ones where they ship them on?

2:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Light them on fire and

2:50

hang out by fire. It is perfectly legal.

2:52

Yeah, don't worry about that. But if it's

2:54

illegal, I didn't do any of that. Right,

2:57

no, no, no. And don't check it. Don't

2:59

check on it. So how far were you

3:01

from Vegas? Like an hour, so when I

3:04

was in high school, they didn't have the

3:06

bridge over the dam yet. So it

3:08

would, depending on dam traffic. An

3:10

hour and a half, there's no

3:12

damn traffic now and 15. Now

3:14

it's like an hour. That's hilarious

3:16

when you say there's no damn

3:19

traffic. It's D-A-M-N. Yeah, yeah. A

3:21

little bit of Hoover Dam. Got

3:23

it. Yeah. Got it. Yeah. So

3:25

depending on traffic, you've kind of

3:27

figured that out. Were there any

3:29

high school runs to Vegas. Once

3:31

again, you're of age now, so

3:33

that's okay? No, no. I played

3:35

so much baseball there that I was

3:38

there all the all the time, though,

3:40

like. You know, we ventured down to

3:42

the strip a couple times, but Vegas

3:44

is so expensive that there was, there's

3:46

no way that we could have afforded

3:48

to do anything illegal there, you know,

3:50

in terms of being underage and trying

3:52

to do the stuff you do in

3:54

Vegas. Guess what? You can afford it

3:56

now. Yeah, yeah, now Vegas expenses are

3:59

a little different. All right, so you're

4:01

one of four there's five brothers five.

4:03

Okay, where do you fit second youngest?

4:05

So does that mean you take a

4:07

lot of shit and you got beat

4:09

up a lot? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah

4:12

And little brothers the baby right so

4:14

he was always the one I was

4:16

taking care of But my three older

4:18

brothers kind of gave it to me

4:20

a little bit in sports and physical

4:22

altercations Yeah, I kind of got a

4:25

little bit, but I I deserve a

4:27

lot of it too, so it wasn't

4:29

like they were being mean or anything.

4:31

I think I deserved a lot of

4:33

the stuff that happened to me. I'm

4:35

in that household. Why, you weren't the

4:37

annoying one? No, but I would play

4:40

some. I would push some boundaries for

4:42

sure with my parents and my brothers, and I

4:44

knew how to annoy them and make them mad,

4:46

and sometimes you poke the bird too many times,

4:48

you know, you get got a little bit, so.

4:51

I don't know how my parents did it, you

4:53

know, five boys just kind of ran wild and

4:55

they did their best to Corrales, but it was

4:57

so much fun though. I mean, it was like

5:00

a locker room, you know, growing up, so shout

5:02

out to my parents for dealing with that. You

5:04

know, you've told the story a lot that there

5:06

was only one division, one school that was after

5:08

you, the whole bit, but I read that you

5:11

were a pretty good Hooper, yeah, point card.

5:13

I can kind of do it all.

5:15

My dad was a basketball coach, my

5:17

dad was a basketball coach, so. I

5:19

grew up in a gym and I

5:21

could, I don't want to tune my

5:23

own horn, but... But a little tooth,

5:26

this is the show to tooth. Yeah,

5:28

I could, I could play point guard,

5:30

I could, you know, run an offense,

5:32

I could also go in the post

5:34

if I had a small guard on

5:36

me, that game where the matchups was

5:38

in my favor, you know, to move

5:40

some guys around because I was, you

5:42

know, I'd like to say I've

5:44

got to do something like you,

5:46

but... That was my goal was

5:48

to play college basketball always, you

5:50

know, because my older brother played

5:53

and I wanted to go play

5:55

with him. But as I got

5:57

better at basketball, I got better

5:59

at baseball, baseball. works out. Yeah I

6:01

did. I did it a long run.

6:03

Why haven't you brought the long hair

6:05

look to the show? So funny enough

6:07

when I was drafted in 2018 we

6:09

had the rule where you couldn't have

6:11

hair on your collar right if you

6:13

had to wear a collar so they

6:15

made me cut my hair the first

6:18

day they sent me they're like hey

6:20

you have to cut your hair before

6:22

tomorrow so I went to a like

6:24

great clips or whatever and cut my

6:26

hair and apparently I didn't cut it

6:28

short enough. You know, so I went

6:30

back the next day and they're

6:32

like, did you cut your hair?

6:35

I said, yeah, it took like

6:37

three inches off. And they're like,

6:39

well, it's still not short enough.

6:42

I was like, do I need

6:44

to cut it all off? And

6:47

they said yes. So the Tigers

6:49

told me yes in 2018. So

6:51

I went and cut off all

6:54

my hair and it's such a

6:56

process to grow it back. I

6:58

kind of like getting my hair

7:01

cut now more often, so maybe that's

7:03

why I haven't done it. But every

7:05

off-season I think about it, but it

7:07

just never comes back. I do miss it.

7:09

We're in a cap and having your

7:11

hair kind of fall out the back.

7:13

It's a cool look, but yeah, I

7:15

don't know if it'll come back. Maybe. See,

7:17

now you're thinking, here's the thing. What

7:19

about it, though. One of our good

7:21

buddies on John Boy Media is Tyler Glass

7:23

now, and he has got. He's got

7:25

great lettuce, man. And so don't you

7:27

look at that when he bitches and you're

7:30

like, would be me again? I look at

7:32

everyone with good hair and I'm like, that

7:34

looks good, you know, that looks really good

7:36

in a hat. But then you realize like

7:38

almost all my life is not spent wearing

7:40

a hat. I just wear a hat when

7:42

I play. So it's like, do I want

7:44

to sacrifice, like, what's the sacrifice, you know,

7:46

like, look horrible, but then have look good

7:49

on a field on a field, you know,

7:51

you know, you know, you know, I don't?

7:53

You know, I might, I might, I might,

7:55

I might, I might. I love it that

7:57

we're getting the wheels turning here. Yeah, yeah,

7:59

I might. I'm also worried I don't

8:01

know if I drove back out.

8:03

I'm a little bit older now.

8:05

That was six-seven years. You're in

8:07

good shape right now. Yeah, but

8:09

you never know when your last

8:11

hair cut's going to be inside.

8:14

I believe it. I'm hanging on

8:16

for deer life. I'm this close

8:18

to shaving the hair off my

8:20

back and stapling into my head.

8:22

Okay? Yeah. I just want to

8:24

let you know that. Your off

8:26

season was awesome. You got one

8:28

for it. So I went and

8:30

got one for it. Renting, that's a

8:32

good idea, actually. I didn't think about

8:34

that. Well, it's a new thing, renting

8:36

tuxedos. I didn't even, that didn't ever

8:38

cross my mind. I was like, yeah,

8:41

I'm gonna buy a tux. I need

8:43

one, you know, I don't own one.

8:45

And it's like, well, one's the next

8:47

time I'll wear a tux for this.

8:49

And it was good. I thought I

8:51

looked good. You look great. Thank you.

8:53

No, no, no. This is, by the

8:55

way, you can't be show, Siam Award

8:57

winner, and rent a tux. I just

9:00

want to let you know that thank God you did buy

9:02

it. I didn't even come through, I didn't cross by why.

9:04

Yeah, you can't do that. But yeah, yeah. That's the thing,

9:06

you get fit in for clothes though, and then like, I

9:08

mean, are you're going to, are, you're going to fit in,

9:10

you're going to fit them, you're going to fit them, you're

9:12

going to fit them, you're going to fit them, you're going

9:14

to fit them, you're going to fit, you, you're going to

9:16

fit, you're going to fit, you, you, you're going to fit,

9:18

you, you, you're going to fit, you, you, you're going to

9:20

fit, you, you, you, you, you're going to, you You're in

9:22

good shape. Now, you might have to, like when you're done

9:24

and you've got, you know, you've got a second child on

9:26

the way, maybe you'll have more. Now at that point, then

9:28

it becomes, then it becomes, yeah, then it becomes tough. Yeah,

9:30

yeah, I get it. You had such an amazing year,

9:32

2024, and I'm curious because I talked to Paul C.

9:35

Hold about this after he gave up the home run

9:37

to Corey Seager and how he had to own it

9:39

and all that sort of all that sort of stuff.

9:41

Have you had to own it and all that sort

9:43

of stuff, have, have, have, and all that sort of

9:46

stuff, have, have, have, have, and all that sort of

9:48

stuff, have, have, have, Yeah. And what were your emotions

9:50

during it? Is it to learn something from it? How

9:52

do you do that? Yeah, I think it goes to

9:55

the, like, it all goes back to my process of

9:57

like every pitch that comes through, or if I don't

9:59

want to. pitch and I'm shaking you

10:01

know I need to be 100% convicted

10:03

on that pitch and if I get

10:06

beat on that pitch when I'm fully

10:08

bought in on it I just don't

10:10

it's okay you know as long as

10:12

the process was good now you know

10:15

right when it happened you know the

10:17

grand slam obviously happens the season seems

10:19

to be coming to an end right

10:22

you know I'm whatever the score is

10:24

now five zero or whatever it was

10:26

you know I think The next pitch

10:28

was a strike, you know, because I

10:30

was so bought in on my process that

10:32

like, it happened, yeah, it's loud, I can barely

10:35

hear the pitch come, but like, I was 100%

10:37

bought in on the pitch I was throwing,

10:39

it just happened to not go where I was.

10:41

And I'm not a perfectionist by any means,

10:43

nor will I ever try to be. But same

10:45

thing happened the other day with Luteo, like

10:47

it's a flu run bomb, and it changes the

10:50

game a little bit, but. I was bought in

10:52

on what I was trying to do. I

10:54

just didn't get the ball there and that's okay.

10:56

You know, it's just about you being bought

10:58

in on your throw and you trying to

11:00

execute as many pitches in a row

11:03

as you can. Whether you do it

11:05

or not, it doesn't matter. It's just

11:07

on to the next pitch, on to

11:09

the next pitch, on the next pitch.

11:12

And if I keep doing that, I

11:14

think I'll be playing this game for

11:16

a long time and I'll have some

11:19

pretty positive. This was our pre-season prediction

11:21

show on baseball today, a show I

11:23

do with Trevor Plough, former Major Leagueer,

11:25

right? And we're talking about sigh young

11:28

candidates. This is right before the 2024

11:30

season. So I want you to

11:32

listen to this. I got a

11:34

shocker for you. Turek Scoubal. He

11:36

nailed the name. I know some

11:38

people have been talking about it.

11:40

And they expect the Tigers to

11:42

be significantly better. Made only 15

11:44

starts last year didn't debut until

11:46

July because of the injury. Okay.

11:49

So, do I get a sionk

11:51

prediction? That was sionk prediction. Now

11:53

did it. So, do I get

11:55

points for the prediction or massive

11:57

points off for calling you Tyrike?

11:59

Yeah. I stopped caring about how people

12:01

pronounce my name. When I was in

12:03

high school, I just gave up on

12:05

it. You know, I don't really. So

12:07

you get points for predicting this. Are

12:09

you sure? Because I was kind of

12:12

embarrassed. No, I don't care at all.

12:14

Like, I wouldn't even, like when I'm

12:16

at a restaurant, I don't even say,

12:18

like, you know, when you're at a.

12:20

coffee shop and ask my name. I

12:22

just say my name's Jack. And people

12:24

are like, oh, what are you worried

12:26

about? People don't know you are. I

12:28

go, no. If I say my name,

12:30

there's no way when they write it

12:33

down. They get it back to me.

12:35

You know? So I'm just Jack everywhere

12:37

I go anyways. So do you have

12:39

them write on the cop? Yeah, Jack.

12:41

Like I'm Jack. Like I'm Jack. I'm

12:43

the name for the reservation Jack. Because

12:45

like, I'm not. My parents didn't think

12:47

that true. Say nor is it easy

12:49

to spell nor is it easy to

12:51

read and then pronounce. You know, so

12:54

it's all right. There's no hard feelings

12:56

there. So when I was doing research,

12:58

I was like, God, there's got to

13:00

be a great reason for why he's

13:02

name, what his name? And it is

13:04

because... Okay, okay, you want me to

13:06

tell the story? I mean, I'll go

13:08

in death, yeah. Wow. So my mom

13:10

read an article... about some kid over

13:12

in Europe that was from a wealthier

13:15

family and was taking all the clothes

13:17

from his closet and giving them to

13:19

homeless kids as like a little boy.

13:21

And she loved the story, loved the

13:23

name and then that's kind of how

13:25

I got my name. So that's the

13:27

background to it. But it's Tariq, it's

13:29

Tariq, it's Tarik, it's anything about Tariq,

13:31

and that's, I don't know, it's whatever.

13:33

And I don't even try to tell

13:36

people how to pronounce my name, nor

13:38

will I, you could call me Tariq

13:40

for the entirety I know you, and

13:42

I wouldn't correct you, because I wouldn't

13:44

correct you, because I just, whatever, I

13:46

don't care. This was a lot of

13:48

fun, hey. continued success man. pleasure
