Trenni Kusnierek, MLB Network

" I don't have to tell you guys about the MLB network because we're all pretty beaten pretty cranked up about it already. Now you think if we bring in one of their roving reporters for a quick visit preakness and Eric it would be to talk baseball but now she's on her way to Harvard to speak to. People much more intelligent than we. Right to -- perennial next to me as much more intelligent than you'd see you there Michael -- gets that head and shoulders more intelligent than me ending ever thought of applying -- Trent because Derek but he's -- went to -- yes Marquette University somewhere not northwestern or Saturday but who else are right -- Charlie pierce is smiling another -- But veteran -- and I'm thinking. -- Trees. Report could she be doing for no in fact you're not doing reports about the red --"

" And now I'm speaking -- women's leadership conference at Harvard and at today's all about athletics. So we're talking about how athletics helps. Leadership -- him when minute I think improved self esteem and it gives good life lessons just being involved and I think they want to know about what it's like to be a woman in a male dominated business."

" I mean truthfully we just flute ran in here most of -- although we did we weren't immediately because we knew she was in Milwaukee native and could talk about Brett Favre with ascetic -- but not now. Here a little better about this -- out I think. Fine fine you want to you want to play again and you're not given enchanting Green Bay I don't begrudge you the chance to continue her your career. What I don't why is. Drama queen on retired on ice that I had just moved to Milwaukee to new apartment last march. When he retired I was crying in my bathroom. Is he was so I don't listen on the radio my cable is not done yet. Isn't some smelly things that come back. Go until we're going to America but he played here Elliott leaving Green Bay this place that it's at. So it's important place in his heart and then he retires he goes -- the Jets OK fine time behind at a different conference. At the AFC that's fine. Now -- retire again amnesty retired now I'm at a -- talking about me anymore so I don't play for the Vikings about everyone's talking about me again. And they are I told to TC he's dead to the people with -- he isn't he's had to -- don't. It's Roger Clemens the Yankees. Don't go out -- we don't care. Go to the Yankees get a it's just slap in the face -- he did it again if this was where it doesn't situation. Where they said in Green Bay last year no chance you're done. Over you were only there -- go wherever you want they treated like it's not find that that's how business works -- this is deliberate. He out of his way. You have all these secret meetings of the Vikings and he wasn't going to go and now he's."

" I on the secret plane and Minnesota. That are about this -- yeah extreme or."

" Working with -- adult friend of ours Hazel Mae who was some in audible on still there was there for -- as well measles at the MLB -- never see each -- now now."

" I had as batters to ships passing and I travel time. On route -- been an opposite -- two weeks and a she's she's more air time. It's more -- studio side I like -- try to round aren't naturally. Add she's doing really well and you guys are both know that I slaughtered them Fort Myers right you got your little 33 season thirty teams and maybe soccer. Three times during spring training is again she did fifteen teams at the top fifteen teams. She would be Agassi and then I would be and others did a couple times at the rule. There's any way after -- on worked Clark tied."

" O'clock and I played right right what I. -- about Arizona is you'll run -- people."

" Both of which you might as well be doing me right regular season troubles. It's -- Lauderdale Fort Myers it was difficult because every day you're -- talent airs at this one town just traveled around on the irony at Phoenix area. And that's -- sport I was I was quite on par -- and I were both on for 32 days."

" Picture in the resources Major League Baseball this shouldn't have been surprised. Catcher ever seen start out at the ground running -- MLB network it it was like from day one. It did some things early on that allowed you to spread your rang out every and and we were -- icing on the monitor poll Alex right it's not that. But you guys at the ground running in from day one it's like you know was then."

" It's it's incredible what they did I think you to give a ton of credit to Tony Petitti used to be at CBS sports. You know he had to run all of March Madness which is a huge undertaking it's so much -- programming. I just think they did it right thing they did it right and watching in January as opposed to right at the start of baseball season. Easy time to work out the -- and 33 was huge because people. Wanted to see their team and you know hundreds of fans -- you don't want to see all the time we've seen teams over and over again being -- of thirty and thirty. By the year Red Sox fan and there's Red Sox fans all over the country or fewer Royals fan -- are concentrated in Kansas City. You reached out to a lot of different baseball and and we -- on the road that we got to go right away and haven't faced with players. Managers coaches fans we had. Promotional -- setup each spring training center handing out T shirts and hats and posters and schedules are programming I think there's and a baseball -- to. Because you are family out of market on Thursday you can watch a Yankees Red Sox game. And if they're on ESP have Wednesday off on Thursday live in the locking your socks and you get to watch all the time without having to to invest in the direct TV package and I think you guys."

" crucial test earlier on with the Alex Rodriguez. And it was a question in many people's minds as to whether or not the MLB network could be critical. Now -- MLB -- doesn't question I went I was talking about taking jobs and sign a contract if I come from a news background started -- local local TV news and sports. So I was reporting report. And I wanted to make sure you come here and you're not. Catering to the you're not afraid to college -- out. At the guys that day about play. If there's a scandal are -- treated as such news story and from day one they said acts I and you know to the best of your ability. That's our abilities we've covered everything pretty apparently without hammering players too much. And without citing too much with the league and the players and money as it passes so -- that studio much now nightly at. But that was my actually asked him I've reporter by trade but my first job isn't a player near civil balls falls Wisconsin before. They -- want to -- in a lot into the year man suggests the Summers and and that was there right now. After you speak at -- I'm just and that relax my -- it might work might work their college kids there. I'm sure it and I beverage party at a few posts that you're not just now -- girls are pretty intelligent -- don't drink before -- Harvard. About my first job in television I was one man band -- shot I am video produced everything myself wrote everything myself. Always kind of had a reporter blood in me and what I am doing some studio things that kind of asked by executive producers that. To not find out and do some more investigative reporting pieces feature stories cover more dated days staff and use that Twitter and -- that hasn't. To just kind of help brand of the little remark mini breaks more stories I've just more people out there and -- that next thing -- office and three weeks where you are the first trend we've ever had on the year -- what is the origination of training -- I mean it like to -- in my parents -- hit. And they -- woman at and you would be like -- and I thought she was fun and kind of a free spirit. But needed money -- because there's extreme Lopez in the seventies and --"

" Percent tucked but the seventies like with us at any dealings with the lineup."

" I have two -- evidence that can gradually. But you know I'm more an 80s90s out there as a singer apparently in the seventy's -- eyes. And they didn't want it to be. Similar said he changed your -- you if you averaged. It."

" That makes sense trying to because Eric is a reporter for the MLB network -- stuff -- it it was kind of fun for us the Miami. A person with the pace that we see on TV when your back in Boston back in and something tells me and it will be here."

" I'm a little bit October now -- don't think I've ever seen a game. They covered the national league for six years."

" Now we get it -- accurate like baseball there now get back to Milwaukee. I get back to Milwaukee -- and that's not."

" You know Overton hasn't Ken -- was -- He the last two years we didn't and our guy -- he's very -- guy who spent two years doesn't studio. And we have we groom him the -- it was you. -- right in this narrator star right now how does -- as -- us and I I don't toot my horn too much by -- really was my analyst in the studio.
