Welcome to Guardians Weekly on the Cleveland Guardians Radio network. Guardians Weekly is brought to you by Progressive helping Guardians fans save hundreds on car insurance. Hi, everyone, welcome to Guardians Weekly. Jim Rosen House along with you from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland one final time this offseason, as we can put our hot stove shows to bed after today, as next week we will join you from Guardians spring training in Goodyear, Arizona, as the Guardians get ready for
the twenty twenty four season. Pitchers and catchers have reported they are working out the full squad reports early next week officially, although just about every player has been on the ground in Goodyear doing workouts and getting ready for the new season, so really it's just a formality that it would be the first official workout
coming next week. But when we join you next week, we will be happy to be bringing you Guardians Baseball on the radio later that day or earlier in the day, depending on when you hear our show, as the Guardians will take on the Reds and the exhibition opener, the Cactus League opener next Saturday at three to zero five, and you can hear it right here on the Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio Network. Good show lined up for you today is
always a little bit late. We'll be joined by the always entertaining Ryan Lefever, longtime broadcaster for the Kansas City Royals, as we continue our look around the American League Central at the Guardians rivals in the division for a postseason berth and we will hear from Ryan in the second half of our show. In just a little bit, we'll visit with Stephen Kuan had a chance to catch up with the gold Glove left fielder when he was in town for Guards Fest
and talked to him about the season to come. But first kind of history, I think, certainly in his world for Stephen Vote. He had his first official meeting with the media as manager of this ball club, not the introductory press conference which we had earlier in the off season. But he's out in spring training and on Thursday, along with President of Baseball Operations Chris Antonetti, they both met with the media for the first time to talk about the
spring ahead. And here's how things went on Thursday. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a daunting task many people we have here, but you know, I was able to make it down to Arizona a couple of times throughout the off season, so get to know a lot of our player development staff and support staff, which has been really useful. Just not feeling like I've got to meet two hundred and fifty people, but it's been really fun and obviously we're here and that's the most exciting part for me, Chris.
With so many new faces on the staff, does it almost give you, guys fresh evaluations of the players who like you guys to talk about wanting to take bias out of evaluations a lot and well not out of evaluation of decisies, right, yeah, So does it helpful? Does this so many new
sets of eyes on these players where it's just does that help speak? The more perspectives and we can get on any issue when whether the player evaluations, decisions, the way we run camp, the more perspectives we can get that that Now, at some point we have to bring those together the form the
decisions or figure out what we're going to do. But I that's one of the things I'm really excited about is that we have I think the combination of a great foundation that take place with a strong culture and you know, having done things a certain way, but then we also have this opportunity to learn and grow and get better from where we are and build on that foundation.
And it's been awesome, Like voters contributed a ton helping us think about things a little bit differently, Craig alburnaz Kai coming back after experiencing things in different organizations, and that extends throughout, you know, a majoring group. So yeah, Stephen, other things that when you look back at your playing days that a manager may have done or said, or managers who did or didn't do, things that you felt either helpful or not helpful, that you'd like
to try to implement as a manager. Yeah. I think the biggest thing I learned mostly and most of the people I've played for, but Bob Melvin specifically for yourself. You know, I think that's all any player wants to hear is go out and be you. You know, don't try and we're not going to tell you who to be. We're not going to tell you how to play. You earned your way to the big leagues. Why would
we tell you what to be? And I think taking that and you know, going off that fresh set of eyes, fresh start, I'm really excited
for our players to kind of have a clean slate. I've never really seen any of them plays as their manager or as a coach, just as an opponent, right, so I want them to be themselves and I've messaged that and I will continue to message that if you thought about any like roster preferences you might have or is it too early to that, do you care how many relievers or if you need a utility guy or you know, honestly, when it comes to the rosters, for me, like, we're not even
close to those decisions. And so you know, obviously you have a perfect idea of what a roster could like, and then we're going to go through these seven weeks and that's all going to get blown up. So I'm just trying to keep an open mind to all of that right now and just watch the guys play, watch them work, and get to know them. What's the sort of say to you about this group that I guess position players don't even need to be here till this weekend. Workouts don't start until next week,
but everyone was already here at the beginning of this week. It speaks to the players and first and foremost, I mean their work ethic, their dedication to their craft and they don't have to be here. You know, we don't pressure them to be here, but voluntarily they've showed up. And it also speaks to this organization and the resources that are provided for our players. We've had people working countless hours, giving up their entire winter to be
here to help our players developing get better. You know, I think of Larry Day, and I'm going to miss a ton of names, but Larry Day has been scheduling spring training days for the last two months, and you know, we've been joking that this week has been you know, negative two day of spring training, negative one day, and then today's go day. So it's really fun to see everybody out here early. Everybody's looking great and
we're I'm really excited to get going. You mentioned that guards paid. This was still kind of sticking in in way of sort of have you spoken with Tito or any other managers for how how long maybe that process takes before you start to truly feel comfortable in this role. I haven't really spoken anybody specifically on that nature or on that topic, but I think for me, it's just gonna have to I have to feel out my way of how I want to go about doing this, you know, being new and being open to
suggestions and ideas. And I have a good picture of what I think it might look like, but that could change by the end of today, and I'm open to that. You know. I don't think I want to set myself into this. I'm going to do it this certain way. I don't know what I don't know, and I always want to keep learning and getting better every day, So that's the approach I'm taking. One thing I should have shared at the outset, James Farrichek has some shoulder fatigue, so he's
not going to throw it for a couple of days. That's the only I think the update from information so far. So sorry I have to share that at the outset. Who Wilse's like a Spino Spino. Yeah, he's still over yet, so he won't be participating in flowing activities other than his rehab progressions. Is there anything like remotely specific that you'd like to see with Linzardo
just as he can his progressions. Is there anything as a Is there anything that continue to grow and get better and finish, you know, the season really strong and the Arizona falling hasn't had a ton of the bats just throughout his my early career, so he'll continue to benefit by every of dad he gets. I know he's we han't a chance to sit down with him yet. That'll be coming in the next in the next few days. But I know he has been focused on proving against left handed pitching, which is one
of the things that he has had intermitting success with in the past. But I know that's something that he's targeted didn't prove without no I mean obviously just getting a little look at him, you know, taking them live that bats knows who's doing the box. Really nice kid. Really enjoyed getting know him a little bit, and I'm excited to watch him play the spring. Have you been having one on ones? Yeah, we just got an individual layer
mean, and we've done all pictures and catchers. What have those been, like you been the player in that scenario, but not as much. They've been a little easier trying to make the player feel comfortable. I remember the first one I walked into and I my heart rate was through the roof. I didn't know if I was getting released or getting sent out or it was a very intimidating setting. And so being able to kind of make it not
intimidating and comfortable for each player. It's also helped me Now I can put a face with the name. Now I know a little bit more about him. I've heard them speak, which I think is really important. And when you hear a player actually speak about themselves or their situation, it really helps you understand where they're coming from and kind of what makes them tick. So they've been really beneficial. Is there anything different with the plan for Feaver or
Mackenzie just because they're both coming in without restriction. We'll be you know, as we've done Seness with individual starters, we've kind of had individualized progressions, So they'll be to each guy, which I think Kristen will be. We probably build him up a little bit more slowly than maybe some of the other starters. But they're both coming and camp ready to go and without restrictions. So is that yeah? Yeah, I mean I would character the same way.
They both look great. They both worked really really hard this winner to get themselves to this position, to come in with no restrictions, and we want honor that by you know, letting that progression take its course. Because of the innings with the three kids. Last year's same with them, I know other years we've had. Of course, sometimes it's playoff related too with the extra load. But like with baby Williams logan, do they get slower
developed the spring tube or not? I think, you know, for them, they're going to hit the ground running. You know, we're going to be mindful of their loads, you know, I think there We're not gonna go full speed pedal of the metal with them, you know, but you know, fortunately we have Carl Willis who has done that a lot for a long time, and so we're gonna be mindful with their progression. But as far as we see, there's there's no there's no different differential of the plan
for them. Now, maybe elaborate more generally. The way we're thinking about it is, we are trying to make sure we're positioning each pitcher and play it. For that matter, they had a successful and healthy season, and how do we adjust each person's schedule to accomplish that. So and so for some some of our messaging with the young starters, like, look, they're not trying to make the team on day one, so don't come out of your bullpens and throw you know, no, don't try to throw ninety six
when they're throwing livelyps. Try to build your way into that. So we're ready for opening day and ready to be healthy for the balance of the season. So that message is different than for someone like you, whoever, Carls Carrasco, someone's really the point in their career, guys like him, Lively, Curry, gaddis. Is the plan to just stretch them out and then
figure it out. Yeah, I mean our plan is to kind of stretch them out in spring, you know, at a good pace, and kind of have that build up, and then as they're getting built up, we'll have some clear answers on kind of what we're looking forward for them to do and what role that they could fill for a team, And I think that'll kind of work itself out over the course. But yeah, the plan is to stretch those those guys out. I'm looking forward to the day when we
have too many healthy pictures that we have to find spots for. It's a good problem to have if we get to that point. But yeah, they'll seeings that we'll stretch them out as starters because that gives us the most optus. It's new manager Steven Vote and President of Baseball Operations Chris Antonetti. Stay tuned when we return. It's Stephen Kwan, gold glove outfielder coming your way next the Cleveland Clinic. Guardians Radio Network four. I wish I was a

Sorry, sign up for Progressive and opt into more progressive casual team turns company
in affiliates not available in the estates are situations. Welcome back to Guardians Weekly. Jim Rosenhause back with you from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland earlier this offseason, just about a month ago. Now, it was Guards Fest, as most of the roster was in town for that great fan fest at the Hunting Convention Center, including gold glove left fielder Stephen Kuan back to back gold gloves after winning it again. Last season a little bit off in terms of offense,
but not that far from a tremendous rookie season for Quan. And when we caught up with him, the off season was winding down when he asked him about that, that off season and just how quickly it can go sometimes as you prepare for a new campaign with a lot of expectations. Yeah. Absolutely, I feel like it flies every year, and I think every year it goes even quicker and quicker. But it's exciting. I mean, being here seeing all the guys again, it's like first day of school vibes.
I'm excited to be back at it. Well, and you mentioned that seeing everyone this weekend here, guard's fast weekend. What is it about that getting together and spending some time with each other? That's that's helpful. Maybe when you get the spring training, Yeah, it's catching up. You can kind of shorten up on like I won't say icebreagers, but like, you know, how's the family, How how are you doing? You know what's going
on? Like you can kind of we talk about it here and then when we get to spring training we could talk about like some really important stuff, you know, like deeper, get closer, relationships or like baseball stuff. So this is like a good primer thing for what's to come. When you look back at last year individually, another gold Glove, solid season at the plate, how did you view it and what are you working on for this coming season to be even better? If you can't, Yeah, I think
I was a little disappointed with how the second year went. I think it's you hear everything about sophomore slump, like you don't want to regress, you know, make sure you work hard, and you know, obviously a lot of things go into that, but that wasn't where I wanted to be. The team didn't do how we wanted to do. So I took that into this off season, Like we talked about working on some bat speed stuff to try to, you know, swing the bat a little faster, try to
be more intentful, have anticipation be a factor and all that. See how it looks coming into live Babies. You mentioned bat speed in it. How do you get that to where you want it to be? If if you want to increase that, Yeah, I mean it's kind of like just working out in general. There's a really cool batspeed program. It's it's tailored to you know, you take a couple of swings with the heavy bat and you take a couple swings with a light bat, and each of those steps,
your body's gonna sequence itself to swing that bath heart. So then when you get that regular bat in your hand, it it's adjusted to both sides and then ideally you're gonna be swinging faster. So it's been it's been proven, multiple people have done it, So I've done it. I did my first time in twenty twenty one and it's my second time doing it like super intently.
So it's looking good so far. And is that the increased bat speed Is that to gain a little more power or does it help you with consistent contact or maybe both? Yeah, And it's a fun and funny way. It's both. You kind of trust your path, so the contact comes with that, and then definitely power. You know, obviously if you have more speed coming behind the bat, it's gonna go farther. So a little bit of both. Definitely more for the power aspect, but it's it's cool how
the contact also finds its way as well. Stephen KWin joining us on Guard's Fast Weekend. You look at this team and it's changed, especially on the coaching staff side of things, and the new manager, Stephen Vote. How do you look at that as a young major leaguer with a managerial change. Does it impact you in any way? You think, Yeah, it definitely impacts. I think having Tito my first two years was a blessing. I'm just happy to have learned anything from him. But yeah, it's gonna be
different. You don't know what you don't know, so this will be a new regime. I'm sure things are gonna be great. I'm not worried about that, but different. It's definitely gonna be different. But I mean, just as a as a fan of the game, I'm excited. Obviously, I grew up in the Bay Area. Vogue was an All Star in with the A, so like, I definitely know Stephen Vote is. My buddies were talking about it. It's really exciting. So I'm excited to see what
comes from it. And when you look at at where you are, you mentioned heading into your third major league season, do you feel like a veteran yet? Are you still on that young player side of things on a very young team. Yeah, I mean I do feel young, but at the same time, compared to others, just relatively. I do feel kind of like the older guys, like giving advice on kind of how things are going, and it's just crazy how fast it goes, how full circle it is.
But yeah, I'm sure on another team, M'd still be the young guy. But on our team it's I'm feeling a little older. That's outfielder Stephen Kwan, and he'll be part of that outfield and it'll be interesting to see who joins him in the outfield. There's certainly a lot up in the year in terms of who starts the season in both center and right field, in addition to Kwan in lefts. That's certainly something that will be figured out
over the course of spring training. And again we will join you from Goodyear next week for the remainder of the spring. Our shows will come to you from the Guardian's Complex out in Goodyear. Stay with us when we come back. It's Ryan Lefever, broadcaster for the Royals, will Talk Royals Baseball, our central rival of the Guardians. That's coming your way next on the Cleveland Clinic Guardians Radio networking to Mommy, Yeah, I'm going to sit. Yeah,
what's a long long time to a mom? The pitch is waived at in Bieber with another strain out. This time he gets Bobby Beavers eighty one pitches deep through six, he has struck out eight and he's working on a two nothing shut up. Now the one to one pitch, I'll swaying a slice job down the left field line, fair ball in all roll into the corner on his way to third is fry. He'll be stopped there and a double the opposite way for Will Brennan and he continues to torture the club he
grew up rooting for his entire life. Will Brennan in eleven games against Kansas City hitting just under three point fifty against the Royals, and a good piece of hitting there as he shot that ball down the left field line exactly.
Welcome back to Guardians Weekly and we continue this week our look around the Guardian's opponents in the American League's Central Division, this week heading to Kansas City and we are joined by Ryan Lafever, the longtime broadcaster for the Royals, and Ryan, great to have you along on what I know has been a very active offseason. We would do a Royals preview, but maybe we should just talk about the big signing of Bobby Witt Junior to a long term contract.
Yeah, good to talk with you, Rosie It As far as I can tell, this hasn't just been a significant offseason for the Royal since I've been here, but maybe in the history of the franchise, with the number of free agents that were signed, the Royals addressed to starting rotation, the bullpen, an outfield need, an infield need. Sandy Leone, who spent a little bit of time with you, was signed as a non roster InVID at catcher, So really you can say the Royals addresses about everything on the field.
And then after that, Bobbywood Junior, our young franchise player, was signed to an eleven year contract as far as guaranteed years ago, and it could be as many as fourteen. So the news just keeps on coming. And then on April second, there'll be a vote to figure out whether we're going to get a new downtown stadium or not. But other than that, there's really nothing going on. I think as as much news coming out of Kansas City easily, I think as any team in the division. You mentioned
that the vote on a new stadium. When you look at all the activity in the offseason, every team's trying to improve anyway, but is there more urgency for the Royals to do something this year at least try and make it look good in the winter time and hopefully have it carry over maybe then in years past it if you didn't have something on the ballot where they're trying to get a stadium deal done. Yeah, my answer to that has been in a good way, the Royals have put the cart in front of the horse.
And what most teams will do is that they will make promises that if we get a new stadium, these are the things that we want to do. We'll be able to be more active in free agency. We'll be able to sign our players to long term contracts. If we get a stadium,
it's going to allow us to do that. And what our ownership, led by John Sherman, former Guardians minority owner, what he's done is he said, well, I'm going to do all of that in front of the stadium vote, just to show that this ownership group is committed to being active to our level in the free agent market and keep our players so that players like
Bobby Wood Junior don't finish their career somewhere else. And so the timing is great before the vote on April the second, the Chiefs going to another Super Bowl that's tied in to all of this. The finance package includes the Chiefs as well, and they likely will just stay where they are with significant renovations and have that whole complex to themselves. But yeah, I think it's a very bold move by ownership to do all of this in front of a stadium
deal. You mentioned the Chiefs and we're joined by Ryan Lefever, broadcaster for the Royals. Full disclosure, we are recording this on Super Bowl Sunday. The Chiefs are in the super Bowl once again. Ryan, has it kind of become ho hum in Kansas City that the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl? Which I know is cringe worthy here because the Browns are trying everything they can to get there one time, but it just seems like an annual occurrence
now in Kansas City. How has the mood changed on a Super Bowl Sunday there maybe as compared to that first time that they went back. Recently, I think everyone's doing their best to try not to take it for granted. Now, this is what four super Bowls in five years and four six years since Patrick Mahomes has taken over, so they've been in an AFC Championship game in six consecutive years. This was the first one that was on the road.
They had five straight at Arrowhead. Just to put it into context, I mean, the ten years we've had here has been pretty remarkable, with the Royals going to back to back World Series in fourteen fifteen. We had not been to the World Series in twenty nine years. Chiefs fans hadn't been to the Super Bowl in forty nine years, and now four and five years. You know, if you had MLS our soccer team, Sporting Kansas City's won a couple of championships KU basketball, you know, he is always in
the final four and they've recently won a national championship. So it's been a really good stretch of championship sports lately. And you know, I try and tell my kids all the time, you will look back on this when you're an adult and you're going to say, man, we went to how many Super Bowls and how many years? It's been pretty special. And by the way, Patrick Mahomes as a minority owner of the Royals, about that all. Travis Kelcey of Courses from Cleveland, and I'm sure Cleveland is buzzing just
like Kansas City is with all the Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift stuff. Yeah, a lot going on for sure. And again we record this before the game, so who knows what the mood will be like after. But hey, getting back to the Bobby Wit signing, we saw here what it meant when Cleveland signed Jose Ramirez to a long term contract. Now, he was further along in his career and had accomplished more than Bobby Witch Junior. But at such a young age, it seems like Bobby Witch Junior has everything that
you would like in a franchise player. What is it to you that allows him to stand out and make this investment on the part of the Royals a really solid one. Well, this is where you and I have a unique advantage in that we see these guys all the time. We just don't see them between seven and nine thirty or seven and ten o'clock, depending on how
long the game goes. I mean, we get to see him on the planes, on the buses, and the clubhouse, on the field, and so it's not an exact science, but I'm sure there's been some players over the years where you thought, Okay, Jose Ramirez, for example, he can handle a long term contract, or you look at another player and say, I'm not sure I want to sign this guy a long term yet, just because there's so many things involved outside of what they do in between the
lines. And with Bobby Wood Junior, as everyone seems to say these days, he checks all the boxes. I mean, he's first of all, just talented with very few limits in anything he does. I mean, he's one of the fastest players in the Major League. He has power potential, He's a good defensive shortstop that we believe is going to be a great defensive shortstop. He has a feel for the game. He grew up in the game with his dad playing in the big leagues for sixteen years. So there
are a lot of things that just don't overwhelm him. I'm sure it's still exciting for him, but it's not overwhelming because he's been around it for, you know, for as long as he can remember. And then he has that it factor which is hard to describe, but I'll use it this way, and guardians fans can you know, apply that to their favorite player.
But just a guy who shows up every day and what's their demeanor, because you know, you're usually sitting in the dugout or near the dugout when batting practice begins, so am I what's their demeanor like when they come up from the clubhouse and they go up the steps of the dugout onto the field, can you tell what they did the night before? Did they have a really bad game, do they have a really good game? Or are they the kind of guy that when they pop up the steps you really can't tell what
they did the night before one way or the other. They just they just have a feel for the day to day grind of baseball and they don't get too well if they do get caught up with the ups and downs of the game, they're able to wipe the slate clean before each new day. So that's something that I for whatever reason, that's just something that I've really paid attention to. And not to say if a guy goes zero for five and makes an error and the team loses, that they're not allowed to be upset.
But in order to survive, in order to give a guy an eleven year contract, maybe fourteen with the options, you better be pretty sure that he's going to be able to keep his head on his shoulders with everything that's coming his way. And so that's a very long answer to your short question about why Bobby Woo Junior is just not the right it's not only the right
player, but he's the right person for a contract like this. Certainly exciting times in case Ryan Lafever joining us, the long time broadcaster for the Royals. Ryan, you mentioned that's not the only move, a lot of moves made by Kansas City. Is there one or two that really stands out in your opinion that can be especially helpful and help helping this team get going again,
because the last last couple of seasons have been frustrating for sure. Yeah, I mean, the the easy answer is just addressing the pitching situation and you know, going out and getting some some legitimate starters that have had experience in the big leagues to be more at the top of the rotation. Our best starter the last two years, if you two years combine, it's probably Brady Singer, who has very little major league experience all things considered. He
pitched for Team USA last year in the World Baseball Classic. And I say pitched, he really didn't pitch much, and it really set him back early this season. He's probably our fourth starter this year. So you know, we got Cole Reagan's in the in the trade for Roldest Chapman with Texas and he became our ace. And you know he's in there with Seth Lugo and
Michael Waka at the top of the rotation. So not only did the team improved the pitching both in the starting rotation and in the bullpen, but I think some of the younger guys can slot to an area that fits their experience. You're not asking a first or second year pitcher to pitch at the top of the rotation or get the three outs in the eighth inning, or get the three outs in the ninth inning, or get the three outs in the
seventh inning for that matter. Now those guys have experience, they've had ups and downs through those experiences, but now there's some pressure taken off them by bringing in some veterans. And one thing that hasn't changed about the game. If you can't pitch, you're not gonna win. And the Royals are at the bottom in the league last year, not the very bottom, but toward the bottom. And e RA Starter's Era bullpen E ra. I mean,
the pitching staff really needed an overhaul and they got it. And when you look at at the man in the dugout, Matt Quataro first year, last year as a major league manager, what did you do you see from him in terms of growth in that position? And now that that they're starting to upgrade the roster apparently, how he can take advantage of that. Yeah, you know, he's he's a very unique guy in a in a good way.
You know. I think the managers that preceded him, I could point to some sort of personality trait that they had that really stood out, either for better or for worse. And he's just he's just steady. He's very smart, but he doesn't lord that over anybody. He's also very inquisitive. I mean he'll ask broadcasters, you know, what do you think about this? Or a broadcaster that might make a comment when we're all just sitting around
talking and he'll say, well, what do you mean by that? And he really I think he feels like there's there's a lot of wisdom that he has and even more that he needs to be a longtime major league manager. And so the best scription that I've heard about Matt Quatrero. And this is this was before he got the job, this is when he was a candidate. And I called our late friend Dave Wills, the voice of the Tampa Bay Rays, and just asked him, you know, tell me about Macquatrero.
And he gave a really interesting answer that did play out last season. Dave said, when he walks into the room, he doesn't command the same attention that maybe Joe Madden or Kevin Cash does, the two, you know, the current race manager and the previous race manager. As far as flamboyants are just you know, coming in and just you know, commanding the room or whatever. He said. But he said, but by the time people
start clearing out, everyone is around Matt Quatrero. So the point being that, you know, when he walks into the room, you might not be you know, knocked out of your chair by his presence or whatever, but once you get the talking to him, he's the one that you stick around and listen to and ask the next question because he's just so interesting to talk
to and it's interesting how much he wants to talk to us. So that's my assessment of him, and I think for a young team, just the steady presence every single day through the ups and downs, and we lost one hundred and six games last year. That's hard to do when you're losing one hundred and six games. But I think the players were able to go out and perform, and they really weren't concerned about the demeanor of their manager. They had a respect for him, but when the game started, they were
just able to go out and play the game. Well, maybe some pieces are starting to come into place to allow the Royals to take a step forward. I know it's been a struggle to get there, but boy, it sounds like an optimistic auth season and who knows, maybe more to come, especially with the ballpark both coming up in early April. Ryan Lafeever, thank you so much for coming. I will see out in spring training. I'm
sure see you soon, Rosie looking forward to it. It's Ryan looked Fever, long time broadcaster for the Royals. Stay tuned mornicom after this and Progressive. We love sports and saving your money, so we bundled them together. Two seconds left on the clock, third field goal range, and it looks like he's going to go with a five Byron. No wait, the quarterback is skating back on the ice. He's talking with his caddy. They're pulling the goalie. He skates off the fairway, has to kick her lives off
