Summer Catch Page #9

730

01:
00:34,636 -- 01:00:37,305

as the A's fall to the Hyannis Mets,

8 to nothing.

731

01:
00:39,599 -- 01:00:41,559

There he is. Can you sign this?

732

01:
00:46,357 -- 01:00:47,399

Thank you.

733

01:
00:50,819 -- 01:00:51,862

Thank you.

734

01:
00:52,905 -- 01:00:56,951

Ryan, this is Hugh Alexander.

He's the scout for the Phillies.

735

01:
00:57,158 -- 01:01:00,495

That's good stuff out there.

You stay focused now.

736

01:
01:01,871 -- 01:01:03,081

Thank you.

737

01:
01:04,249 -- 01:01:07,544

They need to see you pitch again,

they're interested in you. He told me.

738

01:
01:11,757 -- 01:01:14,134

I'm in the bullpen from here out...

739

01:
01:14,719 -- 01:01:17,889

next to Calvin Knight

who's the best closer in the League.

740

01:
01:19,975 -- 01:01:21,935

That ump, he had it in for you.

741

01:
01:22,269 -- 01:01:23,728

You deserve better.

742

01:
01:29,733 -- 01:01:30,943

Thanks, Dad.

743

01:
01:42,163 -- 01:01:47,168

So I don't think I'll even show up

for the last couple of games.

744

01:
01:49,338 -- 01:01:50,381

What?

745

01:
01:53,217 -- 01:01:58,180

Come on. Every scout was all over that

Hyannis kid who hit the slam off me.

746

01:
01:58,847 -- 01:02:01,933

Yeah, he'll be getting

a wicked big check come spring.

747

01:
02:02,727 -- 01:02:05,021

Yeah, I'm going to get a check, too.

748

01:
02:04,978 -- 01:02:07,939

About $70 for cutting grass

at Chatham Elementary.

749

01:
02:08,232 -- 01:02:11,193

Come on, Ry.

I think you're a really good pitcher.

750

01:
02:12,988 -- 01:02:15,157

What you think don't mean sh*t.

751

01:
02:17,742 -- 01:02:18,618

What?

752

01:
02:19,369 -- 01:02:23,957

All that matters is making it,

getting signed and cashing a check.

753

01:
02:23,832 -- 01:02:26,293

Right now I'm lucky...

754

01:
02:26,250 -- 01:02:30,963

if some scrub team in Podunk lets me pitch

batting practice for the next couple of season.

755

01:
02:30,964 -- 01:02:32,049

You're wrong.

756

01:
02:31,590 -- 01:02:33,675

Bullshit! That's all that matters.

757

01:
02:33,799 -- 01:02:37,386

It's not bullshit. What matters is that some

of us would say you've already made it.

758

01:
02:37,512 -- 01:02:39,973

Some of us who've been there for you...

759

01:
02:40,140 -- 01:02:44,102

who drove to Boston College to see you pitch

and went to Framingham state,...

760

01:
02:44,311 -- 01:02:46,438

and sat at your mom's wake with you.

761

01:
02:46,355 -- 01:02:49,608

And cleaned you up behind the Oasis

when you couldn't pick yourself up out off ground.

762

01:
02:49,734 -- 01:02:53,237

And who let you live with me

when you and your old man were at it.

763

01:
02:53,570 -- 01:02:57,574

Yeah, we matter. I matter.

You bet your ass what I think matters.

764

01:
02:58,909 -- 01:03:00,911

I didn't miss one game, Ry.

765

01:
03:01,329 -- 01:03:02,705

Not one game.

766

01:
03:03,038 -- 01:03:07,334

And I'm proud as hell

you've done what you've done.

767

01:
03:07,210 -- 01:03:11,756

When you hit that mound,

I keep from crying,...

768

01:
03:11,006 -- 01:03:16,345

thinking about what we've been through.

Me, and him, and your father, and Mike.

769

01:
03:16,720 -- 01:03:19,431

None of us has missed a game.

770

01:
03:21,600 -- 01:03:23,769

This ain't just about a paycheck, Ry.

771

01:
03:26,271 -- 01:03:30,108

It's about having pride in

what you do.

772

01:
03:30,276 -- 01:03:34,238

Because I do.

773

01:
03:34,238 -- 01:03:36,907

- All right, Auggie.

- No, Pete.

774

01:
03:38,909 -- 01:03:43,414

If Podunk invites you

you're gonna go.

775

01:
03:43,664 -- 01:03:47,126

And I'm going too, and Pete's coming.

Right, Pete?

776

01:
03:47,460 -- 01:03:48,795

Yeah, I'll go.

777

01:
03:52,965 -- 01:03:57,219

To Podunk.

778

01:
03:57,929 -- 01:04:00,015

- Come on.

- To Podunk.

779

01:
04:05,061 -- 01:04:07,689

I love you, man.

You're my best friend.

780

01:
04:08,773 -- 01:04:10,066

You're my best friend.

781

01:
04:14,070 -- 01:04:17,073

I love you, too, Pete.

Pete's our best friend, too.

782

01:
04:21,620 -- 01:04:23,663

I'm starting to like this girl.

783

01:
04:28,961 -- 01:04:32,757

Girl looks like that and cuts your grass,

what else do you need?

784

01:
04:32,923 -- 01:04:36,886

She could have beers in a cooler

hanging from her neck, but that's just me.

785

01:
04:38,347 -- 01:04:39,931

Get out there, son.

786

01:
04:46,938 -- 01:04:49,066

My parents are having

a party tonight.

787

01:
04:49,149 -- 01:04:49,858

What?

788

01:
04:50,358 -- 01:04:55,112

My parents are having a party tonight

and you should come.

789

01:
04:55,613 -- 01:04:59,367

Oh, yeah. Me and your dad

are real tight.

790

01:
05:01,535 -- 01:05:06,207

I told him about us. He was the one

that insisted that you come.

791

01:
05:07,417 -- 01:05:10,712

I told Chris, too.

He left last night.

792

01:
05:13,758 -- 01:05:16,511

I got creamed by Hyannis

last night.

793

01:
05:16,970 -- 01:05:22,308

Yeah, Katie said.

You and the umpire. I'm sorry.

794

01:
05:22,307 -- 01:05:25,602

That's okay.

I'm out of the starting rotation.

795

01:
05:26,104 -- 01:05:29,691

I mean, I'll pitch some relief,

but it's kind of over.

796

01:
05:30,023 -- 01:05:35,946

Listen. I did everything wrong with us.

I should have told you about Chris.

797

01:
05:36,489 -- 01:05:39,701

And this war with my father

has been going on for four years...

798

01:
05:39,867 -- 01:05:41,494

and it's finally out of control.

799

01:
05:43,122 -- 01:05:44,331

Forget it.

800

01:
05:44,581 -- 01:05:50,337

No. I was confused and I dragged you

into the middle of my mess.

801

01:
05:53,756 -- 01:05:57,218

You're the only one who really cares

about what I want.

802

01:
06:04,018 -- 01:06:05,060

Thank you.

803

01:
06:08,856 -- 01:06:10,649

The summer is almost over...

804

01:
06:10,858 -- 01:06:14,111

and the one thing I'm not confused about

is that I want to see you.

805

01:
06:15,864 -- 01:06:17,741

I don't have a game tonight.

806

01:
06:18,073 -- 01:06:21,577

Come anytime after 5:00.

The party goes all night.

807

01:
06:23,663 -- 01:06:24,831

I'll try.

808

01:
06:35,968 -- 01:06:39,805

Don't forget to do the trim, okay?

809

01:
06:42,016 -- 01:06:44,685

Yeah, and I'll make sure

to mow the flower bed.

810

01:
06:45,436 -- 01:06:48,272

If I can find the bird feeder,

I guess I'll mow that, too.

811

01:
06:48,480 -- 01:06:50,732

That's funny.

That's very funny.

812

01:
06:51,399 -- 01:06:52,442

Come here.

813

01:
07:02,370 -- 01:07:05,665

If this party gets too boring,

and I can tell right now that it won't...

814

01:
07:05,958 -- 01:07:08,377

the team is having this party

at the Oasis.

815

01:
07:08,626 -- 01:07:13,005

Tenley Parrish. I haven't seen you

in years. Look at you!

816

01:
07:13,298 -- 01:07:15,300

Excuse me.

I'll meet you at the bar.

817

01:
07:17,218 -- 01:07:20,429

The last time I saw you,

you had just gotten back from Europe.

818

01:
07:23,684 -- 01:07:25,394
