chance to do this with you last year the beginning of spring before kovid that was about as much fun as i think i've ever had doing a game we're getting a chit chat with you as uh you and kb were on the field uh yeah well what i remember most from is i was one for one so we got we got a bigger back coming up here in the uh first or second okay well keep that alive fair enough time i have a mic when we're live you're alive do you to say anything to cubs fans peacock fan sorry i stunk when i was with you night you won us a championship this is jd and boog jd and boob on the live mic oh yeah what's up guys hi tommy riz what glovy rocket is that the gamer that you will wear this year uh this is about to be yeah still got a little work to do okay but it's it'll be it'll be about right kind of finish it off i throw it in the oven for like a minute or two and then go play catch with it and then it yeah like the oven that's a cigarette a microwave or the oven i'm sorry mom oven oven put on a little cooking sheet yeah form it put it back in kind of smell the leather talk to it line softly that'll fold right here right there it's a bad read he should have knew where nico was should have been on third did you do the thing when you were a kid where you wrapped it up you tied it up and you slept on it put it under your pillow yeah under the couch and the sock and the balls in it that that that one that one's not as effective anymore for first base i don't know if there's a camera on me but yep this little pocket right here drives me crazy this is where they all pop out right here so getting that broken in the most so i could trust no matter where what position i'm in i'll catch it you have anybody alive in your bracket rizz um yeah i got uh gonzaga and michigan still going oh boy blue guy said he knew i was mike i know what do you got for me on jack peterson what you've seen so far from your newest outfielder [Music] uh really just coming in just really fits in well laid back uh he likes to joke around which is right up my alley likes to work and you know the play is very loose and and as a left-handed hitter it's always fun to watch and pick other guys brains and pick his brain about the guys he's played with because we're both trying to learn and get better so it's been uh been really nice and easy to have him do you want us to talk to you when you go up and in uh yeah yeah see how it goes i think i'm calling fastball here though okay you're right am i am i just all in or what of course what do you got it's a homer fellas that's two nothing good guys because i told them i told joshua was coming you heard that right oh i heard it jack peterson will touch them all two-run blast as called by the third member in the booth down on the field anthony rizzo two nothing comes is it a change-up what was that kind of scarred from throwing fastball in with two strikes last so bad so i know it's coming at some point oh that's a good picture i had to go the other way on that one that's right guys i really wanted to tell you there riz i wanted to tell you what it was [Music] about your foundation obviously during colvin it's hard for all charities to have events and raise money and you and the marquee network have teamed up to deliver one-of-a-kind memorabilia experiences an auction that'll be taking place during a game this season that's pretty cool yeah that is cool and that's awesome it has been hard to raise money and we've been doing a really good job uh people have been very generous through this tough time but the auction will be cool the live auction uh we already have some pretty cool uh auction items that people have been very generous to donate private plane to disney world for three four days yes for six or eight people three nights stay in tucson and miravel it's a pretty much all-inclusive resorts so it's really cool and to be able to do that on a live auction would be cool i know boo you your big one with the als and your foundation so hopefully we could just team up too and donate some money yeah it's tough right now not you know going to the hospital is a big part of my routine and not be able to see my friends over at larry's children's hospital i know the cubs are big with advocate and uh it's just it's just always nice to be able to help out and do more than just play baseball if you'd like information you can email abby at info rizzo44.com and uh that's one of the ways that you can get involved but again all proceeds benefit families basic pediatric cancer if you have a an item you'd like to donate that's how you can get involved info rizzo44.com have the idea for the spikes come about like where did you come up with that idea uh i wanted to do a chicago theme you know being going into my last year and kind of the unknown and uh with nike they give you so much freedom to kind of pick out your design so i was talking to uh my friend danny mccormick over there at nike and uh just saying how i won the chicago theme and just started thinking about it emily and i were talking i was like food deep dish hot dogs kevin you got the flag on there that's that could be next year pat will watch that go how pro was that that was so awesome nice little reset down and away one in doubt yeah i like that people always ask what does the pitching coach say when he goes to the mound and how they know i don't think i've ever i don't know that i've ever heard that for real live because tommy didn't know guys i'm gonna let you land in my head a little bit and tommy's gonna help me i need to drive the ball the other way give me something you say that every sprint train i know i need something you you're going to give me something i'm going to give you every year you do the same thing in spring training and then at the end of the year you had 280 with 30 homers and 100 over there thank you needed that you told the story when you were a kid you'd go to the ballpark you'd heckle chipper jones and then the next thing you know you were at first base and standing next to chipper jones and you were that kid again right you were the fans it's crazy yep it's uh that's a little kid in all of us yeah even even evan longoria over here watching him as a high schooler and just all what he's his career that he's had he's been playing for 15 years all those years with the raise so it's just cool playing against guys you grew up you know when you're young you idolize guys and then when you get older you you you know it's a different type of uh fascination you have with them that's the right word and then playing against guys is just it's a whole pinch pinch me moment that's a nice swinger see it's just make guys feel good turn a nice double play hit a double the game is that easy sometimes been good talking to you guys rizz thank you much
