Well, I know you felt it in 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.680 your veins, and I know Ronnie felt it in his guts. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.480 On this day in the year seventeen eighteen, the city 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:06.880 of New Orleans was founded. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:08.160 Did you know? 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.640 Poker as we know it was invented in New Orleans, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.720 Originating in the late eighteenth century, It became widespread thanks 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:24.120 to respected English actor Joseph Cowell reporting that he played 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.919 a game that he called the most interesting card game 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.760 he ever did. Play twenty cards, five apiece to four 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.560 players and a round of bets on which hand was 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:39.760 the most valuable? Poker became widespread in New Orleans was 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:40.200 its home? 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.800 Ronnie really relates to New Orleans as a French city. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.280 I go further back and relate with it more of 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.440 a Spanish Spanish harbor town. 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.160 That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.160 That's right, No matter's way I do relate to it 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:02.320 is French. You know, in the streets there's the French name, 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.760 and then there's the old Spanish name, and I usually 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:09.720 use the Spanish name that is Guya. This shrimp heead 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.680 all right, It's time for the F one report Formula 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.480 one man. It's return this past weekend after a five 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.680 week hiatus with the cancelation of the races in Bahrain 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:29.840 and Saudi Arabia. El Bambino. Kimmy Antonelli continued his stunning 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.000 start to twenty twenty six with his third win in 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.920 four Grand Prix as he secured a sensational victory in Miami. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.440 Kimmy delivered his finest all around performance of his sophomore season, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.560 recording his third consecutive pole position to go with the 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.920 Grand Prix win. On Sunday. It was a complete performance 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.720 for Kimmy, the youngest driver on the Formula One grid. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.040 He had to overcome several challenges going into the weekend, 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.560 including a schedule change on Sunday that saw the start 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.840 of the Grand Prix moved up by three hours to 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.080 avoid heavy rainstorms. How about that? How about that? Yeah, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.880 rainstorms forecasting in Miami later that afternoon and they moved 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.320 up the race three hours. Would they do that with 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:18.240 a football game? They wouldn't do it for a baseball 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.520 game either. Caught me by surprise. Came home, I was like, 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.440 what the hell? Yeah, names damn near over. Some rain 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.000 did fall Sunday morning, the wet conditions abated for most 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.360 of the race and under cloudy conditions, the nineteen year 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:35.760 old Ita Loo from Bologna delivered an impressive performance. Impressive, 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:41.200 matt impressive because although he was on pole riding the D. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.559 I like being on the pool. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.320 Yeah, you ride the D every day. He relinquished the 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.000 lead once again on the rundown to turn one, something 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.600 he has done every time this season that he's been 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.600 on pole. But the Bambino did not panic. He did 0:04:54.640 --> 0:05:01.400 not crack easy under pressure. He survived usual carnage on 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.400 lap one, which included a full three hundred and sixty 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.960 degree spin by the lustful Danish Prince Max for stopping Kimmy, 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.600 who had the quickest car all weekend, kept his cool 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.080 and fought his way back to the front, eventually getting 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:19.080 past reigning world champions sprite like Lando Norris and completely 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.799 outperforming his teammate, the curiously odd looking George Russell. Russell 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.400 who admitted on Saturday that the Miami circuit was not 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.080 his favorite on the calendar, and he lived up to 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.240 that remark on Sunday. He was half a second slower 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.880 than his teenage teammate all weekend. He has now failed 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.360 to make the podium in two successive races, finishing fourth 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.719 in Miami in a car that was evidently quick enough 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.320 to win the Grand Prix. What's up, George? He finished 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.680 forty three seconds behind Antonelli and has three weeks to 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.799 reassert himself as the number one driver for the Mercedes 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:03.160 team when they reconvene in Montreal. The odd looking George 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.000 now trails his teammate by twenty points at the top 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.920 of the Driver's Championship, and when the red lights went out, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.720 a dramatic start ensued. Kimmy faced a three way scrap 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.200 alongside Mad Max and Little Chuck Leclair before both the 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.440 Mercedes and Red Bull cars locked up into the first corner. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.279 The lead would change hands several times and that's exciting 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:27.159 from there, and then Kimmy overtaking Leclair, while Norris and 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.159 Oscar Piastrian Verstappen all took turns at the front, separate 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:37.480 crashes for Isaac Hadger, Pierre Ghestlee. And meanwhile the safety 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.600 card deployed in the opening laps as well, ghastly at 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:45.440 the hands of the Kiwi assassin, Liam Lawson, drop. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:46.080 A get out of the way. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.120 Hugly Lawson. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:48.359 Ugly of Lawson. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:49.520 You're jealous? 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:49.719 That up? 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.800 Quick up, here's mom little pick a lab Lawson, umglyam 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.640 Lawson putting up. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:56.760 Anyway. 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:03.200 Excited yet the young kie we lost him the best 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.839 who is dating former Corona del mar C King Hannah 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.400 Saint John has become about as welcome as a turn 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.240 in a punch bowl when it comes to wheel the 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.160 wheel driving. This time it was the Frenchman gas lead 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.560 who was his victim, and once the safety car cleared, 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.320 it would prove to be a two horse battle between 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.240 Antonelli and Norris, with sprite like Lando staying on the 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.680 gearbox of the youngster during the later stages of the race, 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.360 but despite the constant pressure, the Italian teenager maintained his 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:37.600 composure to score his third victory of the campaign. Kimmy 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.080 becomes the first driver ever to convert their maiden three 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:46.440 pole positions into wins, and it's three Grand Prix victories 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.560 in a row to Kimmy Antonelli. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.120 Jimmy Antonelli wins the Miami Gran Prix. 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.080 Yes, whoo when what the race? What the race man? 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:58.280 Whoo? 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:04.040 Oh my god, very shunting, very exciting. I could hear 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.080 the excited about the race. It was a bounce back 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.160 weekend for the McLaren team. Matt Lando crossed the line 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.640 a little over three seconds back for P two, while 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.760 Oscar took the final podium spot for the Papayas, snatching 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.360 P three from little Chuck Leclair, who spun on the 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.080 final lap under well worn boots, costing him a podium 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.720 and dropping him all the way down to sixth place 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.960 after being overtaken by Russell and mad Max at the 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:36.920 finish lin Sorry, Chuck, seems like the appropriate reaction. He 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.720 was well, you know, he spun out. He would have 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.160 been a podium. He was later hit with a twenty 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.240 second penalty post race for repeatedly cutting corners as he 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.920 desperately tried to keep his prancing horse on the track 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.680 for the final lap. Tough way to end it for 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:57.320 Little Chuck. His teammate Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Sir Lewis Alright, Hamilton. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.400 Off got moss on the net. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.439 Gala suffered Florida meage early in the race and would 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:07.160 coax his prancing horse around the fifty seven laps for p. Six, 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.360 A lot of pelvic floor damage on his girlfriend. Oh 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.640 all right, tonightke it too? The met oh God a 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:25.760 spacial outfit. Franco Colopino, You're a Colopinto would score valuable 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.320 points for Alpine in p. Seven and Little Chuck fell 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.680 all the way to p. Eight and the Williams of 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:36.200 Carlos Signs and Alex Albin would round out the top 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:41.520 ten with a double points finish for the team from Oxfordshire. Now, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.400 in three weeks time, the Formula One circuit heads to 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:51.240 North America for the sports most historic and unpredictable weekend 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:59.320 the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, once attended by Sadie 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:07.720 Kates and Tina. The three weeks time tight championship battles 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.840 volatile weather and one of the most unforgiving tracks on 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.920 the calendar. The stage is set for a dramatic weekend 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:21.040 at the circuit Jill's Villeneuve. The circuit rewards bravery more 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.040 than perfection and who will be willing to lay it 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.520 all on the line? Long straits and heavy breaking zones 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.760 creating prime overtaking opportunities and to turn run while the 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.120 infamous Wall of Champions waits to punish even the smallest 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.760 mistake like Don Martin. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.000 So let's tell Rob you can't be too aggressive. You 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.280 gotta be aggressive enough, but not too aggressive. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.120 Drivers have little margin for error on a semi street 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:54.600 circuit that combines old school risk with modern F one speed. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:59.199 Montreal's layout has historically opened the door for surprises, especially 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.920 if rain arrived. Matt several teams are expected to arrive 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.320 in the Great White North with major upgrade packages as 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.640 the twenty twenty six development battle intensifies. The biggest focuses 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:15.000 on Mercedes. Despite winning early races in twenty twenty six, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:20.120 Mercedes largely held back its first major yes their first 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:25.800 development package under the Miami Weekend, while the rivals aggressively 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.280 upgraded their cars and they won anyway. Team boss Total 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:33.880 Wolf indicated that Montreal's package is critical, with reports suggesting 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.920 Canada will feature their first substantial arrow overhaul. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.360 Yeah it's going to run on Maple, sirup, they got 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:42.439 this thing locked up. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.160 McLaren is also expected to bring another step forward after 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.160 its strong Miami performance. Multiple reports indicate the team still 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.800 has additional aero dynamic developments planned specifically for Canada, including 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.760 front wing refinements and further low drag upgrades suited for 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.960 Montreal's long strains. And as you know, Matt, we are 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:10.080 your home of front ring refinements. There is not even 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.120 a close second. We are the front wing refinement show 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:15.640 of rerex see. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.040 And I thought you were going to say, where the 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.480 long straight hairpin turn show off record. 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.680 Secondarily, yes, yes, those things have in order some form 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.000 of it. One thing we know we can count on 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.520 circuit Jills Villeneuve for. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.280 Saw, No, I just hit a ground hog, could have 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:36.880 avoided it. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.560 Was racing, That's right, Matt. The North American groundhog is 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:46.280 indigenous to Notre Dame Island. The fuzzy little foreigners are 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.800 known to frequently run across the circuit during racing action 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.920 and unfortunately meet their maker at the hands of F 0:12:52.000 --> 0:13:03.600 one drivers like the former Canadian embarrassment Nick Letifian. Oh no, well, 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.640 Nikki has gone from the ranks of Formula one. That 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.560 doesn't mean as countrymen, the equally embarrassing Lance Stroll won't 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.320 take up the cause of exterminating the little fellas every 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.360 chance he gets while driving around the circuit. Oh, it's 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:21.079 so ridiculous.

You 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.600 see him now on your screen on the MLB Network 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.640 MLB Tonight.

What's cracking, Cliff? How are you 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.080 great to have you on? Oh man? 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.000 All was good. I love the music, love the intro. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.080 You deserve it, Cliff, you know, I mean you take 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.440 time out of your day. We're not just gonna bring 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.800 you on and just pepper you like like, you know, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.880 you deserve a little bit of a you know, a 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.160 little bit of fanfare on your way into the restaurant 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.080 before we sit you down and put the napkin on 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:47.560 your lap. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.720 I love it. I love it. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.160 Tell us Cliff, you know, because we're the Dodger station here, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.080 so obviously very spoiled. In the last two years have 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.520 been like a dream. And then there's a lot of 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.240 world series and a lot of great competition over the 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.320 last ten years. Uh, did you think the Dodgers start 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.840 would be like this? It always feels like, no matter 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.360 what the expectations are, they having up and down style road. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.080 Yeah. Well, I didn't expect it to be like this. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.760 I think everybody gave them one hundred and you know, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.000 twenty wins. You know in spring training it was like, well, 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.520 their time and figured it out. Yeah, one forty you 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.120 know what I mean. So it's like there they'll take 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.880 their time and everybody will chill out and everybody just 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:33.200 you know, breathe a little bit. But if you look 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.920 at who they facing the ROLD Series Toronto, they're going 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.320 through it right. A lot happens when you have guys 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.200 on il Man and you guys have seen it. You 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.760 guys have probably not dealt with as much at versy 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.360 as some of these other teams. But somehow I know 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.480 that the Dodger has always been able to figure it 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.680 out on the flock. And this year, I'm not saying 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.640 they ain't going anywhere, because it seems like every time 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.200 they have something that you know, jumps off, it's like, well, 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.360 the Padres are behind them, but it feels like the 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.119 Padres are ten games always as opposed to two or 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.439 one and a half is for for some odd reason, 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.960 they just it's just a slow grind for them. But 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.119 you are missing some key pieces that you have to 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.040 keep an eye on, you know, as we jump into 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.800 May and like it's a long season, but you still 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.119 have to keep your eye on what's been going on 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.520 of late of just the I L and you have 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.200 some guys, you know on rehab assignments. That's coming back, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.080 Snail being one, But can you get Mookie back? Can't 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.800 get these guys back and feel good about, you know, 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.439 moving forward and having these guys on the ross and 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:39.760 helping you win some ball games. 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.960 Is that just cliff kind of you know, early season 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.360 Freddy usually takes a second to get rolling mookies kind 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.080 of bag like or is that maybe a bigger like, Hey, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:51.800 these guys are getting kind of old. These guys have 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:53.280 played a lot of baseball, and they've been to the 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.159 World Series and back to back years. Like, I don't know, 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.080 if you had to split it into percentages, is there 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.640 a higher percent into your concern that maybe these guys 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.919 are getting a little bit old and that's why that 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.920 bottom of the lineup with the young guys is producing 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.000 seemingly a little bit more now than the top Or 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.360 is it just kind of the way the season plays out. 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.800 Well, I think it's a little bit of both. Right, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.920 So I'm not really ready to be like, yeah, these 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.480 guys are old because I look at certain teams, one 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.560 being probably of the Phillies are probably the oldest team 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.080 if I'm not mistaken, in the league. May they close 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.439 and if you look at the Phillies just until recently 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.280 they started bawling, like, I don't know what happens when 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.959 the older guys tend to take a little bit, you know, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.080 more time, because you can have an excuse for the 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.600 Phillies it's cold and April so on and so forth. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.160 It ain't cold in LA and they might be getting 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.560 a little older. But at some point you're gonna have 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:50.919 to utilize the youngsters. You're gonna the supporting cast dues 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.000 have to play and if you get that, if you 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.280 get that contribution, then everything kind of falls into place. 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.920 I of what Andy Pyez is right now, we talked 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.840 about this morning on the show. D Row went in 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.240 and depth and just his his his you know, masturbation, 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.919 his maturity and everything about what he's had it and 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.359 what he's done this season has been phenomenal to watch 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.800 after what he endured in the World Series right and 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.879 riding the bench, coming in for the greatest catch prior 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.119 of his career. But when you think about him and 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.200 where he's at, you don't need these dudes. And I'm 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.399 not saying I'm not giving them, you know, the the 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.440 you know, the crutch right now, I'm just saying until 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.680 the Padres are win that that division by ten games, 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.440 by winning that division by eight games ten games, I'm 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.800 I'm I'm sorry. I'm not ready to relinquish anything that 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.760 Dodds has done. Uh thus far? 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.720 What do you make of kind of the way there? 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:51.640 You know, because it seems like it's a thing. It's 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.760 now happened more than once. Of not hitting Otani when 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:55.600 he's pitching. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.280 Well, you know, Tani says it's not so I don't 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.920 know how you can't. At some point, right at least 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.199 with him, you have to say I'm gonna protect the 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.320 player from himself because he wants to do it. Now. 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.200 I know, a Tony can walk into the Austin and say, hey, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.720 I'm kind of running the show and I'm not disrespecting 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.160 Dave Roberts by any means. But Otani is different. He's 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:25.560 one of one. I think you have to look at 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.560 the big picture. And I'll go back to what I say. 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:35.080 I mean, yes, he's incredible. Yes, the ability and all 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.200 everything we talk about with him is there. But don't 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.439 you have to protect him at some point from something 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.760 I think you do. That's just me as a former 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.919 player grinding in the cage, grinding, grinding, grinding, you know, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.879 playing both sides of the ball as an outfit, or 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.040 maybe not getting one ball a game, maybe getting two 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.800 balls a game, not throwing, getting big lee hears out 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:57.920 and then trying to hit ninety five ninety six. When 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.560 you look at him, he don't look tired. But I 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.679 think you have to protect what we've seen in the 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.800 past from him. You know, he's going through to Tommy 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.080 John's like this is Yeah, I get it. People might 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:10.840 think that, oh, it'll be great if he wants a 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.520 young but is it about championships with sions? If you 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.080 ask him, I think he would say championships. 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:22.520 Cliff Floyd is our guest MLB Network. It's an interesting thing, 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.400 you say, Cliff, because Otani's pretty much signed up until 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.399 he's eighty years old. Uh. With the So what do 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.000 you think it's gonna look like? You know, in three 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.879 or four years, do you think there'll be a wall 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.639 that this guy hits. I mean, I remember back in 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.560 the day we were talking about Mike Trout might be 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.320 the greatest player ever, and certainly we're not having those 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.760 conversations anymore. And he was a guy who signed a 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.879 really long term deal. What do you think it's gonna happen? 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:49.320 What do you think it's gonna be like in a 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.199 few years. 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.480 Well, wall is coming. I don't know what you know, 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.560 if there's a big ones as a buzz, I don't 0:21:55.600 --> 0:22:00.480 know what's happening. But you you have to as every player. 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.000 And I'm not even gonna mention Dwyane, you know, Dyne 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.240 down and like you know, coming to an end out. 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.960 What I'm saying is, how do we maximize what he 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.200 brings to that organization, you know, to the game of baseball? 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:17.960 How do you maximize that? I think durability is something 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.320 that I would I love talking about because I wasn't 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:25.400 the durable guy that I want to be. And when 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.240 you're not available, it's there. There's your answer, right like 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:33.639 I wasn't available enough to speak on Like, well you 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.600 gotta be. You know, you gotta post, you gotta post. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.560 I commend dudes that post. I love dudes that go 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.560 out there and you can look at their track worker 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.640 and say, well he's posted for the last three four 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.560 years and one to fifty plus one fifty five plus. 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.359 I need that dude on my team. How do you 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.240 get that out of all the time, you know, for 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.320 me to watch that game consistently every night he pitches 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.520 when I'm up. You know, I'm fifty three years old 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:58.080 now and been out the game for a while. For 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.360 me to watch that game late a night on West Coast, 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.560 Oh tiny needs band lineup. I need to see him 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.560 playing none against the other dudes. But he's just a 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:09.760 difference maker like that. For me to watch that game 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.199
