Priority this morning with the a's catcher Kurt Suzuki got here 7 o'clock he's given me for cover inherited fifteen not only is he the best all around player on the is. One of the hardest worker for sure -- what do you do this early in the morning. As you come here early on -- to us just how little bit -- by what my body. Get a -- it is out OK okay with us he. I think it near LA I'm -- Travis. Every every team that we had those fairly easy. No Derrek hitting. Had his way. Thought about it and thought about our ladies at bad thing. You know what they did that help us out in the future. It's it's it's good -- as if it gets a school early in the morning and candidates are hitting the way it's where. You know we -- -- end. It done get it done and come back relax and years ago. That means you must -- -- about 6 o'clock which means you're not a yeah. There's an afternoon you -- taken an -- Yeah yeah. -- tangled love -- -- -- -- yeah second yeah I think Saturday. They no longer than they have more talent then it's. -- -- and think yeah. -- -- you've played major leagues that would mean. Let's just try as best you can do give me an impartial scouting report. Some of the bigger names and your individual stuff there you deal with -- all these guys all the time one of the guys you haven't dealt with a lot. His benching excellent start give us -- scatter report on -- makes him good any weaknesses is in this game. Quite the ending -- -- You know his big thing is passable and he's got that today well on a fastball. He mixes her we'll have a better now. Everybody let it -- her Oakland for me -- I think there were a fastball -- his fastball I think they're playing good downhill. And make our guys laugh line when he joined -- bought for strikes. If -- let out because they bounce it and you know it that you see that topic it has and it -- -- -- get comfortable all. Haters you know it -- violently -- -- -- it it is a weird thing it's kind of like it at that point. If that is definitely. That that makes. Now before we got our camera you're talking about a strobe all of incidences and ask you what we're does that rank among the curve balls that got. Well we need him you know what. I did it and let it go or Atlanta that. -- mean yeah. The -- that curve balls and this is the tightness of it it's hard to pick up. It's nasty it's best in Arizona guys say. It also -- that might even get credit for both its prize it is natural for them -- so what if. Obviously commander's key for any pitcher when your best command pitchers Justin Duchscherer who sometimes you know goes the self deprecating rounds as he doesn't have great stuff. He just commands and competes he's got better stuff -- you don't before -- Oh yeah he he like to play that part where I don't that stuff like it without any -- so that stuff but to me yeah that's some of that stuff back. -- get that cutter and got a nice big curve ball that if that's what that it's incredible. By the community gets that -- that's because he put the ball -- you want that he is. And he that he thought there the thing that everybody realizes. That that it's now about it's about. Going out there handed out rating compete with the thought they had it that. Is there anyway for you don't like simplified certainly. Compete and everybody knows what competing is the first pitcher did you hear that would -- like you do here at that would just realized it was and they specifically. Well it's more just the fact that now they're not afraid to throw strikes me they want it today. That -- aren't that -- rent. That it won't count integrated. -- see and it didn't go right out so. He hasn't. That's wants like right after guys not rated fastball while it will make that. Let's go from competitiveness to composure your Gonzales says it has some of the best stuff a great curveball is dominating at times. But even he admits that he used to work on his composure he had an outing recently worked stared down they'll cars a little bit not the best way to curry favor with the men in blue. How do you see his progression he's aware of it he's working pieces that go. Yeah he's he's done a lot better that at -- god calls us and obviously. Does work out of that as well you know idea or something everybody's seen him him being so young. If it's part of learning experience and you can't let it wants it affects your -- out. That's what he does -- but at the same time hate me great history at one instance. And I think -- out there competing he's thrown strikes. And with him at its all on the fastball and -- -- -- -- -- I think that was part. That purple. And everybody else that is hurtful insolent what is on. Yeah mentally focused on that rated block him rated -- -- Pardon --
