crazy

play it's brought to you by draftkings

go to draftkings download the app use

promo code john boy when you do that's

what helps us

out and we appreciate that all right

here we go the game is tied at one

to one in the top of the six fly ball

to randy this is randy that's kier meyer

there's the runner on third this is the

state farm sign

look what happens it's pretty wild man

i've never really seen it that much

the center fielder runs all the way over

cuts him off

throws it home doesn't make the play

he's safe

the lead goes to oakland randy's saying

i got it i got it he gets behind it push

gets randy had his momentum ready to go

forward kiermeier goes no no no no no no

no no no i'll do it i'll do it even

though this ball's

to left field and i'm the center fielder

and then kier meyer's pissed because

randy didn't get out of his way

and randy's pissed because that's the

most embarrassing thing someone can do

to you

and just big league like that he's

shaking his head like okay

i guess what's this guy's problem the

next ball goes to center field

kiermeier catches it randy stays in left

field

like a natural left fielder kind of

normal and then they walks off

and it's just kind of the most big

league you can big league guy

ever throws his gum now he's not upset

about the optics he's upset because he

didn't make the play his

interview after the game about this

is just as bizarre as the play itself

listen in

i thought long and hard about this and

and i uh

you know gotta tread lightly uh with

with my wording on it i'm uh i'm in a

unique

position with with what my defensive

skill set is and i'll never

shy away from that i i believe i'm the

best defensive outfitter in the game

i'd put my talents up with with anyone i

don't know if you can say i gotta tread

lightly and then the next sentence is

i'm the best

outfielder in all of baseball but i mean

kier meyer is

really really really good defensive

outfielder like

very very good defensive outfielder but

i don't want to be like i'm a tread

lightly here

i'm the best there ever was i wake up in

the morning i piss excellence very

confident in saying that now with that

being said on the play

i always tell my outfitters especially

when there's a sac fly situation

i tell them hey if i can get to this

area i'm throwing

yeah so this area guys this area right

here that's all me if it's a sac fly

anywhere i can get

that's me that includes all the way to

the left of the state farm

sign i knew right away i could get

behind it

and get a re or uh you know work my

momentum back towards the plate

and you know from randy's standpoint

it's not a it's a play

you hardly ever see i've done it before

um

and it's worked in my favor back in the

minor leagues and i did it one time back

in st

louis with corey dickerson in there and

left and it was a very close play but

so yeah he remembers exactly that he did

this before corey dickerson and left

he gets out of his way lets him do his

thing same result

not the throws offline and not in time

but i have one of the best arms

in the big leagues and i've i've had

that since the day i've came here

so i mean hey one uh one

you got to respect the confidence and

cockiness there i don't know you can sit

down and be like i'm gonna tread lightly

here

i really thought out my answers i'm the

best there ever was i have the best arm

in the big leagues

and every ball in the outfield should be

mine if i want it

i think i caught randy off guard he uh

oh you think

dude uh you know kind of stood his

ground and that

that hindered my uh ability to get

behind the ball a little bit more than

than what i wanted rightfully so

so he's like yeah randy got in my way he

needs to get out of my way there

dude you jumped over him but then like

the good angel on his shoulders like

well rightfully so by randy he did

nothing wrong in that play whatsoever

once again i'm a playmaker out there and

i'm very confident in my abilities i

know

i could have done it if circumstances

were a little bit different

if randy didn't get out of my way i

would have done it i know that he's got

the right to be there

uh and you know but he hindered my play

but also i know he's got the right to

field his own position

but if he gets out of my way and lets me

field his position like i could have

done it

but once again um if anyone's at fault

it's me for for doing that i trust randy

in his ability but in them

no you don't moment right there

i was trying to to get to a certain spot

and and make a throw and

it didn't work out and i'm upset over it

with myself

if any other center fielders out there

um

you know might not be the right play any

other center fielder obviously they

don't do this but

me my unique skill set being the best

there ever was that i'm going to make

the play

i could have made that play and i'll

have a convo with him let the

let the dust settle i'm sure he's not

too thrilled with me and

he might not see eye to eye about it

forever and

i complete my case he complete his um

arm feels really good feels really

powerful and once again

if uh you know balls hit in the air and

i can get to it i want to throw and i

think that gives our

our team the best chance of winning and

i'll stand behind that any day of the

week so in the end

i'm going to keep doing this and i'm

going to let randy know he's got to get

out my way

dude i don't know how to think about

this it's so bizarre the play itself is

so

bizarre the interview is so bizarre like

kiermeier

is one of the best center fielders in

all baseball

but that doesn't mean like that's still

the correct play

but you got to admire his confidence and

maybe you don't admire his cockiness

but maybe you admire his truthfulness

but maybe you don't admire

his cockiness i really don't know the

only thing i do know he is good he goes

and gets balls

and tyler glass now loves it we had him

we had him

reacting it was like god damn it kev kev

gets everything

so if you want to hear glass now talk we

got a show called the chris rose

rotation

you can do that or you could pick up

glass now in fantasy

or bet on him in a kuiper on the

draftkings app and when you do

download the draftkings app you should

use code john boy

to let him know that you know you like

me

it's just kind of we're all flirting

with each other download draftkings

that'd be like john boyce sent me wink

wink

some we're the best there ever was all

of us
