So…they got caught regarding 2017 and 2018 but MLB *says* that they didn’t cheat in 2019. But all that buzzer stuff makes it look pretty convincing. A few players even said that buzzers were used, though MLB denied it.
Ryan Thompson
7:31
ahhhh. I am not sure. I am hearing the same on the buzzers. Videos look damning but I've asked people who would know and they deny it

Hey Ryan, you seem like a big James Bond guy based on Twitter. What's the best Bond movie?
Ryan Thompson
7:33
HUGE Bond guy. Casino Royale. It is the best representation of Ian Fleming

Does Barry Bonds belong in the HOF?
Ryan Thompson
7:34
Yes. We have to understand the era of baseball. There were plenty of guys who did stuff that didnt get caught im sure

Favorite minor league city?
Ryan Thompson
7:35
I loved playing in Corpus but OKC was awesome. Nashville and Durham are great. Tri City NY was the most fun summer I have ever had

Hi Ryan, what do you think of San Antonio being a possible choice for an expansion city?
Ryan Thompson
7:36
I like SA
Riverwalk is awesome

Spring Training. Does it go too long? Is it cool meeting the young guys?
Ryan Thompson
7:36
4 week ST puts guys at injury risk. 6 weeks is perfect although long

When did you know you were a ML talent?
Ryan Thompson
7:37
I always knew I could but wasn't sure if I would. It takes a lot of puzzle pieces to fall to make it happen, especially for a 23rd round senior sign sidearmer
7:38
Right before the 2020 covid shutdown I knew I belonged
Vinnie

If you were not a Pro what would you be doing with your life?
Ryan Thompson
7:40
Great question. I just recently got accepted to online seminary school so something in ministry will be my route after the game, but If I never played I would have probably gone into coaching or be an electrician like my dad.

Worst moment of you career? As well as best moment?
Ryan Thompson
7:43
In 2020 I threw 5 sinkers in a row to Urshela while knowing I should throw slider but we were trying to set up the double play so I threw the pitch I wasn't convicted in and gave up a 3 run inside the parker, blew the game, and that was also the game that Chapman almost murdered Brosseau. Didn't sleep much that night, but grew up a lot as a player the next day.
Stacy

Which player not on the Rays do you like to watch the most?
Ryan Thompson
7:43
I watch a lot of DeGrom mechanics. He's so smooth

Why do you think Cody Bellinger went from MVP to below average? As a pitcher do you lick your lips when a struggling player steps in the box?
Ryan Thompson
7:44
We all hit slumps. I've had some and hitters lick their chops at me
Gary Sanchez
7:44
Who influenced your decision to sidearm the most?
