00:00Fanaticos, we are back from the Lone Depot Park game field for what the series is doing between the D-Bucks of Arizona and the Marlins of Miami.
00:08I am Mari Carmen Fariña and enjoy with me this From the Field.
00:12From the Field is presented by...
00:15Spizz Tik, show your passion, not sweat.
00:20Hang on, your smile is powerful. Hang on, 80 years in Venezuela, taking care of your smile.
00:30Fanaticos, next to me is a player who not only stands out for his great work in the Big Show,
00:36but also for having a beautiful personality and a great charisma.
00:41Eugenio Sárez, third base of the D-Bucks of Arizona. Welcome, Eugenio.
00:44Thank you, really, thank you very much for that presentation.
00:47Gifts that life gives, gifts that God gives me and well, to continue like this.
00:52Eugenio, we had the opportunity when I was able to visit the Chase Field at the beginning of the campaign,
00:59but now, when there is already a month and a half of the regular season,
01:05what are your feelings, the most special thing about Arizona,
01:10and the exciting thing about playing in the West Division of the National League?
01:14Look, the most special thing about Arizona is the atmosphere that is lived right now as a team.
01:20We have been going through a very good time, thank God.
01:23Things have gone well. The division is on fire.
01:28It's exciting to see the Dodgers, San Diego, us all together in a race for that championship.
01:37It's nice and special to see it every night after the game.
01:43I go on the page and see how we are doing, what San Diego did, what the Dodgers did.
01:48It's exciting, it's something that inspires you to keep playing better,
01:51that inspires you to look for victories, and that's what is being experienced right now here.
01:57What have you improved in this second half offensively,
02:01where your numbers have been much better compared to the first half?
02:05Look, my confidence. Believing in the work I do.
02:10Trusting my eyes. Making good decisions when it comes to swing.
02:15Seeing the ball and hitting the ball is what I have improved a lot.
02:21There is nothing else that I have changed other than that.
02:24Believing, trusting, knowing that God put me in this place for a reason,
02:32and giving God the glory and glory always.
02:35Keeping working, trusting, and believing that things will always be improving for me and for the team.
02:42You have already reached the 100 hits in this season,
02:45but you are also one of the 800 to go in your career.
02:49A number that only 10 Venezuelans have achieved, and that can happen at any time.
02:53Look, it's beautiful, yes. It's something special for me, for my career.
02:58As I have always said, I never imagined that those numbers would be in my notebook.
03:05And as I told you, I thank God for giving me this opportunity.
03:08What I always think about is helping the team, trying to get that victory,
03:13that every race pushed, every home run is worth for me and for the team.
03:18And go for more, go for more, because the goal is heaven.
03:24Someone who has always stood out, without a doubt, not only for his good work in the field of play,
03:29but also for his great personality, is Eugenio Suárez, who always has a big smile.
03:34Remember that your smile is powerful.
03:37Hang on, 80 years in Venezuela, taking care of your smile.
03:44I want to show you something, to see your reaction.
03:48Look, I had the opportunity to talk to La Piedra,
03:52and I asked him, obviously this one is also for you,
03:56which player would you like to have on your team?
03:59And look at what Luis Castillo answered us.
04:02Yes, look, for me, that person, I have always loved him, he has always helped me.
04:07For me, Eugenio Suárez.
04:10For me, he has been the number one person that when I came to the Grand League,
04:15he has always been there, in the good times, in the bad times.
04:18For me, he should come back here again.
04:21That's good.
04:22To be with me.
04:23We lasted five years in Cincinnati, we lasted a year and a half here,
04:26that I come back here again.
04:28Look, it's nice, I already saw it, I really saw that video and I was very excited.
04:36Luis has been one of the players that I saw when I came to the Grand League.
04:41I saw everything he went through, what he worked to do, what he is now.
04:46And to hear those words really excites me, they fill me with feelings.
04:51To know that we are not only teammates, but brothers.
04:56I love him, I love him too, as he said.
04:59We have a very nice relationship, and I would also love to be with him again.
05:05He is a pitcher that I admire.
05:08As you have no idea, nothing that he has achieved has been given away.
05:14He has worked and witnessed everything that he has lived,
05:19what he has done in his career.
05:21It's nice, and really, the time I saw the video, it touched me a lot.
05:28Because as a person, that fills you.
05:31It is one of the goals, not only that the ball player Eugenio Suárez says,
05:35but the person that one is.
05:37And well, I owe all this to God, thank God for giving me the joy of being who I am.
05:42I have always wished the best for Luis, for him, for his family,
05:47a very beautiful family that he has.
05:49And that at some point, if God wants and the plans are made,
05:53we will be together in any other team.
05:56I have a question for you too.
05:59Which player would you like to have on your team?
06:01Look, I would love Luis, really.
06:03He is a great pitcher, a great guy.
06:06A pitcher that would help us a lot.
06:09Really, Luis, the stone, as we say.
06:12Really, I would love to be with him again.
06:15Eugenio, why volleyball?
06:17Look, I love gum.
06:19Really, I am one of those who eats the most gum during the game,
06:23outside the game, I always have gum in my mouth.
06:26And well, that nickname came from my wife.
06:30She tells me, well, you seem to be a volleyball player,
06:33because you always have gum in your mouth.
06:35And it is something that characterizes me because I really like gum.
06:40How many gums do you eat approximately in a game?
06:42Look, I can tell you that up to 10.
06:45Yes, and be careful like that.
06:47Really, I always have gum.
06:49Well, thank you, Eugenio.
06:51Your words for all the fans and friends of Baseball Play.
06:53Baseball Play, keep supporting us.
06:55Keep supporting your favorite player.
06:57Really, thank you for the coverage.
06:59I am always aware of you too.
07:01Thank you for everything.
07:03Keep supporting us.
07:06Eugenio Azaria for Baseball Play.
07:10Well, fans, it's time to talk with Lourdes Gurriel
07:13from D-Vax Arizona.
07:14Lourdes, welcome.
07:16And tell us your balance in what this 2024 campaign is doing,
07:20both personally and with the team.
07:22Very good, I feel very good.
07:24Thank God, physically, I felt good, which is the main thing,
07:26to continue helping the team,
07:28because we are in a good moment now.
07:30You reached the top 100 in the major leagues
07:34and you are still adding shots in the full circle.
07:37What did it mean for you to reach that mark
07:40and also to continue to contribute offensively to the team?
07:42No, personally, that means a lot.
07:44They are brands that are difficult to reach in the major leagues.
07:47I find them difficult and I am very proud of the work I am doing so far.
07:51And you are close to reaching the 400 races in your history in the major leagues.
07:57Also, those are things that I feel very proud of,
08:01for the work and consistency, which is the main thing.
08:03The feeling of being in a team, that environment, with so many Latinos.
08:08The feelings are good.
08:10Since we entered the clubhouse, the first hour of the day,
08:13it really feels good.
08:15That is also important in a team,
08:17to be able to go out and get the results on the field.
08:19Lourdes, it is well known that you like to play PlayStation.
08:23Tell us about that hobby.
08:25What do you like to play?
08:27What team do you choose?
08:28I like to play PlayStation.
08:30It is my real hobby.
08:32Everyone knows that the life of us players is a lot of traveling,
08:37being in hotels for a long time.
08:39That has always been my hobby.
08:41But you play?
08:42A little bit of everything.
08:43What entertains me.
08:45I am always trying to be with my friends.
08:47That is a way to connect and be with them.
08:50Something that is also very striking is that flow.
08:53Art is difficult.
08:55How do you get inspired by the choice of color and that style?
08:59A very natural day began.
09:03I stayed, people liked it.
09:05The color was a very spontaneous thing.
09:07We took it from my husband one day.
09:09It is almost impossible to take it off.
09:13Lourdes, your message to all fans.
09:15Thank you for the support.
09:17I feel very happy for the support you have given me so far.
09:20Thank you. Many blessings.
09:25Players always jump to the field of play showing their passion.
09:29Just as Eduardo Rodríguez does every time he climbs the mound.
09:33You know, show your passion and not sweat with Speed Stick.
09:40Fans for Baseball Play.
09:42It is a pleasure to share with the Venezuelan thrower Eduardo Rodríguez.
09:45From the Divaks of Arizona.
09:47Eduardo, welcome.
09:49Explain to us what you are doing this season, 2024.
09:53What has this had?
09:55Thank you for the interview.
09:57For me it has been more lows than highs.
10:00But now I am in the highs.
10:02I lost five months during the injury.
10:05I was in Arizona all the time.
10:08Seeing my teammates playing.
10:11I was just recovering.
10:13But now I'm back with the team.
10:15And in the best moment, which is when we are already fighting to go to the postseason.
10:19Eduardo, in your first departure, you also surprised.
10:23You had something special that was against another Venezuelan.
10:27Carlos, the cookie Carrasco.
10:29How is it for you when you have to face a compatriot?
10:33Look, it's fun.
10:35Every time I have to face someone.
10:37I think I have faced everyone who is still in the big leagues.
10:39I think I'm missing Ranger.
10:41He's the only one I can't face.
10:43I think I can't face him.
10:45But I always go out to warm up.
10:47If their bullpen is close to ours.
10:49I greet them, we hug, good luck.
10:51And we go out there.
10:53Suddenly, for example, with Martin, who is the one who has made the most jokes.
10:57We are always shouting at each other.
10:59He steps on the camera and shouts at us.
11:01But it's very fun.
11:03I always enjoy it a lot to face the guys.
11:05And as you said, you are back in a very important moment.
11:07In a complicated division.
11:09Fighting against the Dodgers.
11:11And the parents.
11:13How do you assume that responsibility when you go up to the bullpen?
11:15Look, just like always.
11:17I never put anything different in my mind.
11:21I just go up there to give my best.
11:23For the team to win.
11:25I think most of the time you go up there with pressures.
11:27You're thinking about what's going to happen in the future.
11:29And those things end up damaging the game.
11:31And I always go up there with the same mentality.
11:33To be the team that I am.
11:35We are in a tough moment.
11:37And we have to win.
11:39We have to win all the games.
11:41Because we are fighting with them.
11:43And for us, winning the division is not too far away.
11:45And how is that mentality and the atmosphere inside the clubhouse?
11:49I arrived a little late.
11:51But I always go to the stadium when I was playing in Arizona.
11:53I was always with all of them.
11:55And I think it's a very camaraderie atmosphere.
11:57Very friendly.
11:59Most of us have known each other for years.
12:01Of the players that we are.
12:03We have known each other for a couple of years.
12:05And we are building a very nice chemistry.
12:07They all know each other from last year.
12:09Eugenio, me.
12:11Gricho.
12:13We are what we are getting to.
12:15We have adapted to them.
12:17And we have had a great time.
12:19The keys to be present in the postseason?
12:21Keep playing as we are.
12:23Finish strong.
12:25Go to the postseason.
12:27Right now we are thinking about winning the division.
12:29But if we go to the World Cup.
12:31We want to be there and do our best.
12:33They had the experience last year.
12:35All of us have the experience.
12:37It's just a matter of playing well.
12:39And win the World Cup this year.
12:41To close.
12:43If you had the opportunity to bring any player to this team.
12:45Who would it be and why?
12:47Of the active players?
12:49Yes.
12:51I was going to tell you.
12:53Since it's on Instagram.
12:55It's difficult.
12:57I don't know.
12:59We have all the positions covered.
13:01Defenders.
13:03Defenders.
13:05It's important to always add.
13:07If we had the date of change.
13:11I would bring Albert.
13:13Albert Suarez.
13:15Your final message for the fans?
13:17The fans of the Arizona team.
13:19Keep supporting us.
13:21We are here.
13:23We are going to the playoffs.
13:25We are going to the postseason.
13:27We see each other soon.
13:29From here.
13:31From the field.
13:35Show your passion.
13:37Do not sweat.
13:39Your smile is powerful.
13:4380 years in Venezuela taking care of your smile.
13:57you
