"I Felt Like I Was Kind Of A Piece Of Shit Teammate" Tommy La Stella Gives Must-Watch Interview

Guys, I'm not joking, you have go watch and listen to this Tommy La Stella interview. I'm only going to share a few of my favorite parts, but that doesn't come close to doing it justice in what is a must-watch for Cubs fans, baseball fans and hell anyone in general. La Stella joined the Fitness Break Room Podcast in January, but the episode wasn't published until a few days ago and boy was it spectacular. La Stella talked with host Samual Pogue and discussed everything about his life. Here's just a glimpse of how candid La Stella was, talking about what got him back into the game of baseball, learning about himself and buying into the team concept. Just a heads up, there is some NSFW language in these clips and throughout the entire interview. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.sportsmockery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/s.mp4"][/video] He gave background about feeling he was done with baseball in 2015, his first season with the Cubs, as he spent the majority of the year injured. Just great in-depth stuff from La Stella. By the way, ever wonder why you don't see La Stella on social media? Here's your answer. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.sportsmockery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/w.mp4"][/video] Tommy got deep in the nearly 90-minute interview, but again it is well worth your time. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.sportsmockery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/lastella.mp4"][/video] He also talked about how Joe Maddon is one of the main influences in his life and how the Cubs manager helped La Stella gain a different perspective. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://www.sportsmockery.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/stella.mp4"][/video] And Maddon's mentality has definitely spread throughout the Cubs clubhouse, building a new culture since 2015.

There was also this funny story about how La Stella got back into baseball. He said he lost interest during high school and wanted to take a step back, but all it took to get him back was working at Applebee's for five minutes.
