1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: Kick like a fifty yard field goal of the Buzzer. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Lines won the toss and Golden Tate did a front 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: flip into the end zone. I do recall that, and 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: do you remember it was like a library in there 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: and the lines lovers were just delighted while the the 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: scoldiers were. It was like a library and there you 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: could hear a pin drop. So what goes around comes around. 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: Well done, Tenneby again, I it's it's a perfect choice. 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: I know, we I know we use much of the 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: montage music. 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: A lot. 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: We we we used much of it many times. But 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a better It's too early for 14 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: when you put your heart in it. You know, you 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: could have actually maybe played that last week when our 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: backs were against the wall, but we like to save 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: that for special occasions. But you just got to keep 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: pushing on out now. I mean, just yeah, that was 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: the biggest win of the. 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: Season last year. 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: Last week either they had no question, especially what were 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: they were up against, especially this time of year, regardless 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: of what night they played it on, and so they 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: get to win. And now we've talked about this, it's 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: not always who you play, it's when you play them. 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Three weeks ago, we would have been looking at Baltimore 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: and going we'd be looking our chops. 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 29 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Now after night's winning against Miami and again it's only 30 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: one win in Miami's not very good. But just when 31 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: a two time MVP is back under center again and 32 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: he presents the kind of problems that he does. 33 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,279 Speaker 4: They also nobody on the injured part, yes, not just Lamar, 34 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 4: like their whole team. 35 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: They had some injury issues and so they are. 36 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: They're back again. 37 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: So we'll do plenty of time breaking down the montage, 38 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: breaking down the Vikings and the Ravens Wild lose last night, 39 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: Gophers have a bye week, which was okay for them, 40 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Timberwolves are back in action. 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: I think it's Sea Cup? Nor is it Double D Cup? 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: What do we call it? Commissioner's Cup? Is that what 43 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: we're starting now? 44 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: Some kind of say Sea Cup sounds like something else? 45 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why, Well I thought it was. I 46 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: think they just call it Sea Cup for short. Maybe 47 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 1: it's Double D Cup. I don't know, but there's plenty 48 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: to get to. Let's spin the wheel of topic. 49 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: Commons golf. 50 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 2: Well, you know it's worth talking about today too. 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: What did you shoot today? Seventy seven sunset strip? Seventy 52 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: seven sunset. 53 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: Strip where we play Loggers trail? 54 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 3: Where'd you hit it on one? 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: It depends the first time or the second time. It's 56 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: a long story. I started on one. It was three 57 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: over through six. Shoot her number seven? 58 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 3: Great? Hold too bad? 59 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: You got to walk down at a single file. I 60 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: hit a drive down the right side. I get up 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: there and I can't find the golf anywhere. There's not 62 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: even that many leaps. Well, I hit it so well. 63 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: I hit it over the hill, over, over the hills 64 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: and far away, as led Zeppelin Wan sings saying song, 65 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: it was over the cart pass short of that. You know, 66 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: there are those two bunkers about one hundred yards out 67 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: on either side of the fairway short of that, and 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: there's that large I don't even know what kind of 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: a tree it is. It's a monstrous tree. I think 70 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: it's a redwood, is what it is. And there's a 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: huge branch hanging over. So I got about ninety five 72 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: to one hundred yards and I'm blind to the pin, 73 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: and I got to hit just a little punch, and 74 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't have to hit a low punch. I just 75 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: can't hit the ball up in the air, It'll hit 76 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: that branch. I then like I do I guess I 77 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: thought I was Joe Mauer. I did the Joe mar quickswing. 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: I missed the ball, missed it completely. You've got to 79 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: be kidding me. Now, Oh now I'm hitting three.

And remember affordable Electric 227 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: is in shockingly affordable. It hitches me off guard every 228 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: single time I was looking at the Fisher rap Factory 229 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: west Side. Ben Gesling does a terrific job covering the 230 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: Vikings and on Fridays they always do a. 231 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: Vikings Ravings Ravens preview artist. 232 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: That's always Vikings Ravens whoever they're playing, it's always a 233 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: preview with the game. 234 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: And the question he puts that he. 235 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: Asks in the headline, I think is the most pertinent 236 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: one in Minnesota has revived defense slow Lamar Jackson and 237 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. The Vikings return home full of energy after 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: their upset of the line to face a Baltimore team 239 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: ready to bully them in the trenches. And you know 240 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: that is a strength right of Baltimore. I mean, they're 241 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: able to run the ball, pass the ball. Offensively, they're 242 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: very good. Lamar Jackson is I believe one hundred percent 243 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: he's playing. Yeah, and as you mentioned too, nobody on 244 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: the injury list. So we talk about about overreactions. It 245 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: did look like Baltimore was dead and buried, right were 246 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: they one in five at one point? 247 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 2: And now they're three and five. 248 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: So again it's not as though they're sitting on top 249 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: of the AFC North, but starting to get their mojo 250 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: back a little bit. And you know that that division, 251 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: the Bungles are basically done, right and the Browns are done. 252 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: It's Browns and Bungles, right. 253 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: So the only team they're really a battle in there 254 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh formatable and that's a nice record, 255 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: but and it there's wild card spots, so. 256 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: You know the vikings did. 257 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: I do think the Lions came in pretty high in themselves. 258 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: After the way they played an. 259 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: Almost flawless game against Tampa Bay. I thought, I mean, 260 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, again, you know, the offense isn't humming at 261 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: the clip it has the past couple of years off 262 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: of Ben Johnson, but there are still scoring points. 263 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 2: They still have skilled players. Their offensive line. 264 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: Got beat up in the Bikings game, but I think 265 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: the Vikings were caught off guard. The I don't know 266 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: how much stock we put into the captain's speeches, if 267 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: you remember the head coach said on that for Saturday 268 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: night before the game, all the all of the captains 269 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: gave their little I don't know, you know, five to 270 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: ten minute, you know, win one for the gipper kind 271 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 1: of a thing. You know, this is our culture, this 272 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: is what we've done. JJ McCarthy or nine, and we 273 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: like to call him or leister, call himself his alter ego. 274 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: He said he was ready to play the. 275 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: Game that night. 276 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: The thing that's most impressive to me, though, the reason 277 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: I like where the Bikings are at right now Tennebee, 278 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: is because they've adopted Paul Allen's love covenant. Because JJ 279 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: said it you in the sound bite. It was the 280 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: second sound bite of the montage. He said, we all 281 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: love each other, every one of them, not just the players, 282 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: equipment managers, concessionaires, ticket takers, carn rosie pa everybody that's 283 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: involved in that organization loves each other and when you 284 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: love each other, love can conquer alt Oh, I think 285 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: we're in a pretty good spot right now. 286 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 5: No, this team is so talented, but the most important 287 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 5: thing is we love each other.

I don't know 332 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: if he said he thought should at least be a 333 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: Pickham game. I guess you know in tenby you understand 334 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: the odds better than me. Isn't the odds just intended 335 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: by Las Vegas to get people to bet, and then 336 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: the more isn't the more money that's bet on a 337 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: team that changes the odds. It's not just them. They 338 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: set a line, but then the betting changes the line. 339 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: Is that correct? It can change it? 340 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: Yes? 341 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, So you know the Ravens Vikings line 342 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 4: last I saw was Ravens minus four. Let's say that's 343 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 4: where they started it at, and a bunch of people 344 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 4: started putting money on the Minnesota Vikings on the spread 345 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 4: that minus four could become minus two. 346 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so right now, what I see in Guessling's piece 347 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: is Ravens by four and a half four and a half. 348 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: I've never been much of I don't gamble, you know, 349 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: I mean I have. 350 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: I've told you the tales of being at the sports 351 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: book when I'm in Las Vegas the very rare times 352 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: i'm in Vegas. I'm not a big bet on games 353 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: kind of a guy, but I never take I guess 354 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: I was betting money. I would take the odds into consideration, 355 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: but when we're just talking about a game, I don't 356 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: look at it and go Ravens four and a half. Yeah, 357 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter to me because the odds don't have 358 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: any effect on the outcome of the game. 359 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 3: I hope you put it this way, tenn Toby. 360 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: I hope it wasn't a one off for the Purple 361 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: against Detroit that you know they did. They win one 362 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: for the Gipper's speeches McCarthy came back Detroit was I think, 363 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: really they were kind of fat and happy. 364 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: You talk about fat cats get slaughtered. 365 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: I think the kiddies were fat, fat and happy because 366 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: then they had the bye week as well. I've brought 367 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: up a couple of times where the coach had these comments. 368 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: Campbell was talking about, Yeah, we just kind of takeing 369 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: a screw here.

They love each other. 411 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: Maybe the wild needed so they must not love each other. 412 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: What happened again? Like Tim, that's two kind of weird 413 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: losses in a row.

With point three seconds 416 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: to go, they give up the time goal, it goes 417 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: to ot. Then they get awarded a goal with a 418 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: puck that didn't even get into the net because it 419 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: was ruled by the officials that they think the goaltender 420 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: was he was playing around there at tend to be 421 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: he was. He was pretending he didn't do it, but 422 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: he knocked the goal off its moorings, and they wore the. 423 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: Wild of goal. 424 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: A last night. Every time the Wild scored, Carolina scored. 425 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: Is that correct? 426 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 3: Is that kind of how? Basically? Yes, as a matter 427 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: of fact. 428 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: It says in the Fisher Rep Factory West Side. 429 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 3: Sarah McClellan, who writes for the Fisher Rep Factory West Side, says. 430 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Carolina retaliated after every Wild goal, including scoring twice during 431 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: a three goal fifty two second blitz for both teams 432 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: in a hectic first period in which the wilds Tyler 433 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: Pittlick was ejected. 434 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: Was he being a naughty boy? 435 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: He had? 436 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 4: He had a big hit that they ruled, you know, 437 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 4: he kind of went shoulder into the guy's head. 438 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: Is the no. 439 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 4: No, is that though he's not getting suspensed for it. No, 440 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 4: they already ruled on that already. 441 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: That the league looks. 442 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: At those right and then makes a decision. Is that 443 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: how that works? 444 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: And I will say with this one, he got him 445 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 4: in the head, but I think it was just I 446 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 4: don't know if there was intent there, right, It's not 447 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 4: like he like Lunch launched up or was specifically targeting 448 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 4: the head. I think it was just a matter of 449 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: you're trying to put a hard hit on a guy 450 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 4: and you haven't hit him in the head. 451 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: It's I'm kind of waiting for that while to catch 452 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: a spark. And they did win two in a row, right, 453 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: and didn't they They win too in a row. They did, yes, 454 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: one to in a row. They had multiple leads last night, 455 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: and had multiple leads well to of the goals as 456 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: you mentioned, So they were up one, nothing becomes one 457 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: to one. Then they scored and make a two to 458 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: one on the favor goal. Carolina scored twenty one seconds 459 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: right after it to tie the game. Carolina's up three 460 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: to two. Matt Boldy scores in the second period just 461 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: thirty seven seconds into the period. Nine seconds later Carolina 462 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: scored to regain the lead. So twice within you know, 463 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: the next ten to twenty seconds, what you had just 464 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: accomplished was immediately evaporated. 465 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: And it's a. 466 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 4: Combination of some defensive issues. You know, two of the 467 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 4: goals Carolina had last night were you know, one is 468 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 4: basically like a one on four where the forwards are 469 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 4: doing very little to slow them through the neutral zone, 470 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 4: and then your defensemen, expecting your forwards to slow them 471 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 4: in the nuture zone are kind of get caught flat footed. 472 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: And then they had a second goal too on the 473 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 4: power play when which was basically like a one on 474 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 4: three just on the rush. Wild has all the numbers 475 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 4: there and are just not making a play. And you know, 476 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 4: we also need to talk about the goaltending. You know, 477 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: when when Gustuson signed his contract extension, you kind of 478 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 4: asked me about him, like, Eh, I don't know how 479 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 4: to I don't know how to feel about him. He's 480 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 4: definitely had some good moments in his Wild run, and 481 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 4: I get it, you got a young guy behind him, 482 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 4: and you're not super confident off of the season he 483 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 4: had last year that he was going to be the guy. 484 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: But Gustuson has not been good this year and he 485 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 4: was shaky again last night one or two of those goals. 486 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, and NHL goalie needs to stop. And I'm 487 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 4: not gonna act like he's got a great team in 488 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 4: front of him. I get there's there's other flaws. There's 489 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 4: other issues defensively. I mean, Brodein and Favor had an awful. 490 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 4: We're an awful mess on that first goal last night, 491 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 4: which Brodin loses the puck and then Favor turns it over. 492 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 4: So I'm not gonna act like there's perfection in front 493 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 4: of these goals. 494 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 3: Be your goal. 495 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 4: He's got to make some saves every once in a while. 496 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 4: And you know, there was one that was kind of 497 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 4: a soft shot from the point, and sure, I'm sure 498 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: Favor gave you a quick screen for a little bit, 499 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 4: but you got to stop that. And the one on 500 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 4: the rush that he gave up, which was beyond the 501 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: top of the circle. NHL goalies need to stop that. 502 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 4: So at some point, not that Valstad's been great, but 503 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 4: the coaching staff so far in this season, it's almost 504 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 4: like they've been playing gustuson as if what we don't 505 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 4: want to rattle the cages with him. There hasn't been 506 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 4: a game where I don't he hasn't been polled in 507 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 4: the game, and he's had multiple chances where he could 508 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 4: be pulled in the middle of games just kind of 509 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 4: send a message. They're still treating him as an A 510 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 4: and Ball said as a B. I don't know from 511 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 4: what I've seen through November seventh, I'd start giving ball 512 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 4: said some more looks until Augustafson proves he's out of 513 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 4: his funk because he's he has not been good enough 514 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,239 Speaker 4: right now and the team in front of him is 515 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: not good enough to be able to overcome right right, 516 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 4: bad goaltending. 517 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: Well, there might be others that agree with you as 518 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: far as this doesn't necessarily have to do with the goaltending. 519 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: But my sources tell me ESPN in. 520 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: Their Hockey Power rankings, Wild there twenty nine, yeah, twenty nine? 521 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: Are there even twenty nine teams in the league? Now 522 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: there's thirty two, thirty two? What what three teams are 523 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: below the Wild for crying out, Yeah, that's not. 524 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 4: A goa yea the Wild right now, there's only two 525 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 4: teams in the Western Conference that are behind them. 526 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 3: That would be the Sameless Blues in the Calgary Flames. 527 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 4: We the Wild right now have the third third least 528 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 4: points in the entire National Hockey League. 529 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: So we always. 530 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: Like to hope or like to think that our local 531 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: teams are quality clubs, and you know that they cannot. 532 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: They can van haling at one need, they can turn 533 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: this thing around right now, right But sometimes we've seen 534 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: it here in this city and every other major metropolitan 535 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: area that has professional sports. Sometimes, as hole Band said, 536 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't work. Guys are a trainer, you on 537 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: the line, and. 538 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: As you say, you know, we're here. We are in November. 539 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: What is it, ninth seventh, number seventh, November seventh. How 540 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: many games do we have? 541 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 3: Have we played so far? Fifteen? They played fifteen fifty games. 542 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 4: And kind of the mantra in the National Hockey League 543 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 4: is once you get to Thanksgiving. 544 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you mentioned that yesterday. 545 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 4: Like that's when, Well, I didn't mention that yesterory, but 546 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: I've mentioned that in previous years. 547 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: Okay, maybe that was Rose and that stole that from. 548 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 4: That's kind of a cliche NHL talk. So I'm sure 549 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 4: Russo brought it up and he heard where you got it. Okay, 550 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: But typically once you hit Thanksgiving, like now, we know 551 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: how legit you are, and it's a lot of that 552 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: usually holds up. 553 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: So we need to turn this thing around right now 554 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: if we want it, because Thanksgiving us right around the 555 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: corner a couple three weeks out, you know, and the 556 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: only thing you know, I you know, far be it 557 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: from me to be ducky in money. This is the 558 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: tough love covenant. The only thing I guess I could 559 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: say is well, if it's another lost season, the only 560 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: thing they have going for them is hey, And I 561 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: know people are tired of hearing the suitor pere eazy thing. 562 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: And then once the suitor preezy thing went away. We 563 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: had all this money we were going to spend the 564 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: free agents. But as you brought up and others that 565 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: you know are following the league a lot more closely 566 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: than I do, the best free agents that were that 567 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: were available, most of them re signed with the teams 568 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: they were with. And so as you brought and I 569 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: know you did bring this up yesterday, they didn't just 570 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: spend money to spend money. I think sometimes fans just 571 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: want to see that. But yeah, if if if, if, 572 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: it's like. 573 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 4: If you go, I think Garret knows he needs a 574 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 4: big fish. Yeah, Like you can't just go out and 575 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 4: get a bunch of medium sized fish and that's going 576 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 4: to help you out. He needs to go get a 577 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 4: big one. And the big ones were not available this summer. 578 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: Have you ever bought produce at a grocery store Tennabee 579 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: and you're you're you know, that's a terrible question for you. 580 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: Your wife probably does. But you go through the produce 581 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: section and let's say you're looking at the let's say 582 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna buy some iceberg lettuce and you go there and. 583 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 2: It's been picked over and there's really you look. 584 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: At it and go, I think I'll just pass on 585 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: the iceberg lettuce today just. 586 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: To look very good. 587 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 4: Or you know, I go get bananas, bananas. I think 588 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 4: about the color of the bananas. They're a little too brown. 589 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 4: I don't want those bananas. 590 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,239 Speaker 1: And then if they're too green, you're thinking, well, I 591 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: want bananas tomorrow. Correct, and yes, we have no bananas. 592 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: We have no bananas do day. And so then you 593 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: just go, well, I'll just wait on it. And maybe 594 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: that's what the water just going to have to do. 595 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: Maybe we just have to come to grips, and we 596 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: hate to do it, especially on the Wild Audio Network. 597 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: We might just have to come to grips that it 598 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 1: ain't happening this year. Now, we got a couple more 599 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: weeks before Thanksgiving. So I'll keep my fingers crossed and 600 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: I'll I'll try to I'll try to stay. 601 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 4: You know, the problem is the worst they play and 602 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 4: the further out they are the less of a desirable 603 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 4: it's going to be for a big fish to come 604 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 4: here right like, so before this trade deadline, not even 605 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 4: necessarily be buyers at this point at the rate they're going. 606 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 4: If they are at this spot and the standings come February, 607 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 4: you're not You're not going to go out and buy 608 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: anyway because you have no playoff run to go through. 609 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 4: And then you get the free agency, and how many 610 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 4: of those big fish that might potentially be available at 611 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 4: that time are going to want to come here if 612 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 4: they just had a bad season. So there is a 613 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 4: sense of urgency. We don't have to I mean this, 614 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 4: given what you just paid Caprice off like, you can't 615 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 4: just do busted down to the studs and let's do 616 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: a rebuild here like the future is now. Unfortunately now 617 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 4: does not look good right now. 618 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Are you familiar with 619 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: the player named Gavin McKenna. Yes, generational? Is that That's 620 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: what I've been told generation I don't. I don't know 621 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: his game very well. Okay, I've been told by people. 622 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: I trust he's a generational prospect. Now, prospects are our 623 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: suspects until they're until they're cleared by the forty. 624 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: I don't like that. 625 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 4: November seventh, we're already talking about taking a generational prospect 626 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: in the draft. He's Canadian, is he not? I remember him? 627 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 4: Like he's dominated guys that are older than you. 628 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: Who's the other Russian that we're counting on. Well, he's 629 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 3: even in lineup right now? 630 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: You're off, So Caprice off, year, off McKenna, let's go. 631 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: I'm all for tanking. Maybe that's the way to go. 632 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 4: You tank, you get the number one pick, you get McKenna, 633 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 4: and then you got some salary cap space. 634 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's go. Hey, Tage Thompson, you want to 635 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 3: come over here. 636 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they're doing, and they're just protecting. Maybe 637 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: that's why they're playing, and they're telling the goaltender just 638 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: don't play well, just let some pucks go in. Well, 639 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: mission accomplished and there, and they're making it look good, 640 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, like like brock Favor just fumbling the pucker 641 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: on them. 642 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: And I've never seen this before. I gotta like it. 643 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 4: And what's worse is they're losing, and like eu Rob's 644 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 4: not even in the lineup anymore, so then they're not 645 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 4: even playing. 646 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 3: Ogre and is back in Iowa. 647 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: EUROB has been in the press box because they're playing 648 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 4: uh Pittlick and Jones on their fourth line. So we're 649 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 4: bad and we're not even developing young guys other than Buoyam. 650 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: Again, someone says, I, well, I guess I don't even 651 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: read this. He said, I thought that prec and suitor 652 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: deals were over, we'd be much better. 653 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 2: What happened to that theory? But we just talked about it. 654 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: They have the money, but they're not They didn't spend 655 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 3: it yet. They don't want to spend it yet. 656 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: Because the high profile free agents, the guys that are 657 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: impact players, most of them signed with the team they 658 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: were with. And you can sign when you sign with 659 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: the team you're with, you can sign for more money 660 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: and for more years, right, is that true? In all 661 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: caseses one more year. Yeah, that's why I could resolve, 662 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily more money, but more years, more years. So, 663 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: and it's not just free agency where the money can 664 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: be spent, right, it's there are guys that you can 665 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: trade for that in previous years you haven't been able 666 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: to trade for because you didn't have the salary cap 667 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: space to have money your roster or you know, you 668 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: basically would have to trade salary for salary to bring 669 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: that player in, Whereas now, no, this team might not 670 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: be worth acquiring a guy for at this current moment, 671 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: but at some point before the trade deadline, if this 672 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: team were to improve and be in a playoff position, 673 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: now you can go out and get a guy that 674 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: is a big dollar amount guy, because they're gonna have 675 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: the space to do it just via trade switching gears, 676 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: changing directions here before we break for the top of 677 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: the hour and bring. 678 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 2: Smoke show Smokeser from Glencoe to It'll be the Feminine touch. 679 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: Headline fisher at Factory westid Levelly Neil the third wrote 680 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: this piece. Twins cut five players, including Jose Miranda. And 681 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: the reason I bring it up is because you've heard 682 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: me talk about this off over the years where they 683 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: pull that pocket protectors those in the media that they're 684 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: ball guys. They like the Twins, they want the Twins 685 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: to play well, and they almost become part of the 686 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: pr department over there, and they talk about what a 687 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: wonderful farm system we have and all the great prospects 688 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: we have, and we've have all these young players where 689 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: we have a deep and talented organization, pharmacism and a 690 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: deep in talented roster. Jose Miranda was one of those 691 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: guys for a long time. He was supposed to be 692 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: a main stay on this club, and he had his moments. 693 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: You know, I was reading in Labelle's piece. 694 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: It says Miranda show great promise in his rookie season 695 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, and he was called it from 696 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: Saint Paul. 697 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: Hit two fifty eight with something like. 698 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: Sixteen home runs to earn a spot in the starting 699 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: line for twenty twenty three, but shoulder surgery scrapped that 700 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: year before he rebounded at the start of the twenty 701 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: twenty four season and title Major to the record by 702 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: getting twelve gett he hits in twelve consecutive at bats. 703 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: He slump near the end of twenty twenty four, however, 704 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: and that slump spilled into twenty twenty five, when he 705 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: hit one sixty seven and twelve games. At the start 706 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: of the season, the Twins sent him to Class Triple 707 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: A Saint Paul, where he hit only one ninety five 708 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: with seven home runs in ninety games. 709 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 2: Didn't get recalled even after the July thirty one trade 710 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 2: deadline purge that saw ten major leaguers dealt away. In 711 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: two hundred ninety eight games the Twins, Randa had twenty 712 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 2: eight home runs in an ops of seven nineteen. 713 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's good or bad. I 714 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: do know this, it's it's it's why I again, let's 715 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: go back to the prospects or suspects until they have 716 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: an alibi or they're cleared by authorities. And this Miranda 717 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: is the latest example. Even Royce Lewis, right, I mean, 718 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: they're certainly not giving up on Royce Lewis, and I 719 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't either. But if you'll remember, he was at one 720 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: time not just the number one prospect in the Twins organization. 721 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: But if I'm not mistaken, if I were, if I 722 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: recollect correctly, unless I misremembery, he was the top prospect 723 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: in all of Major League Baseball, and he got off 724 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: to a great start when he was here, and he 725 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: had some injury problems. Several times he's been injury riddled. 726 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: He's been almost Byron Buxton, you know, two point zero, 727 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,240 Speaker 1: and and then and then he he had two extended slumps. 728 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: If you remember this past year, it saying to me, 729 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: there was that list that the media published of longest 730 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: hitless streaks and twins history, and. 731 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 3: Lewis has got two of them. 732 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: He's in there twice, like oh for thirty and oh 733 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: for forty or whatever those numbers were. Those might be 734 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: too many. I don't I don't recall the exact numbers, 735 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: but and I and you know, you don't give up 736 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: on Lewis for sure, but it just goes to show 737 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: you this was a guy that was we were really 738 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: going to count on and be a mainstay. And you know, 739 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: part of the reason the team didn't play as well. 740 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: They had that thirteen game winning streak and all seemed 741 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: to be right with the world again, and then they 742 00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: went in the tank again and a lot of it 743 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: to do because they weren't getting any any helped from Lewis. 744 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: The one guy that seemed to be the constant was Buxton, 745 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: and they had a couple of the other young guys 746 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: but had their flashes. 747 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 3: You know, they play well for a. 748 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: Few games and then they wouldn't. And the Pigeon staff 749 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: was pretty good. But so my point. 750 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 3: Is is. 751 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: Just because don't always count on the The other thing 752 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: you've heard me say a million times is if a 753 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: team has six everyday players that. 754 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: Are you know, and they all have really good years. 755 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: It's always they try to extrapolate it out to pull 756 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: that pocket protectors, that would how these guys are just 757 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,919 Speaker 1: going to get better. Well, they don't always get better, 758 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: and Miranda is proof positive, Lewis so far is proof positive. 759 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't get any better, and so that's one. 760 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 4: Even if they do, the Twins might not pay to retainment. Well, 761 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 4: that's it. That's that's the problem. We should be very 762 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 4: excited about having Joe Ryan on our team and as 763 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 4: possible next year. Within two years he's gone, yeah, and 764 00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 4: he's performing. 765 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 1: Here's a text that says, I am in no way 766 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: defending poll that pocket protectors. But the Twins do have 767 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: a lot of good prospects and have had a lot 768 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: of good prospects, and well, my issue is with the 769 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: team is that almost every one of them when they 770 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: get to the majors, has a huge setback in their development. 771 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: I think our last coaching staff did a terrible job 772 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: at keeping the development going once they reached the majors. 773 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 2: Maybe that's true, that could be part of it. 774 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, part of the emphasis with 775 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: the Shelton characters they want to develop players. That's what 776 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 1: they want to do. I do think there was conversations 777 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: and again it's everybody's got to. 778 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 3: Have a fall guy. 779 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 1: Chris Carter said it, and so maybe that's the fall guys. Well, 780 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: bald DELI he doesn't know how to develop players. 781 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 3: Really, I don't know. 782 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's on the players too, right, I mean, how 783 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: much do we depend on I don't know. Maybe that 784 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: will be the case. Maybe Shelton will be good at 785 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: developing players. Maybe other people in the organization. I mean, 786 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: didn't we have didn't our hitting coach get fired and 787 00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 1: then he. 788 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 3: Was hired by with the Toronto. 789 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: I think he was hired by either Toronto or Millewaukee 790 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: with some team hired our guy and. 791 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 3: He took the team deep into the postseason. 792 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: So is it really the coaches. 793 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 2: Developing players or is it I don't know. 794 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: Bud. 795 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 2: Was there a time when Timabee was the biggest. 796 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: Prospect that Caffe Hanna, who would that be? 797 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 3: Now? 798 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: High energy Helvy? Then he said maybe it. 799 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: Is high energy Helby high energy, Yes, definitely, If high 800 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 1: energy Helvy is our top prospect, I think we're in 801 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: some trouble here. I shouldn't say that I think high 802 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: energy Halby does a great job. 803 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 4: We're kind of like the Vikings were a very old 804 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 4: aging team with not a lot of good prospects in 805 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 4: the system. 806 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: Wow. That's sobering, but you know what it's it's probably 807 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: the truest thing you've ever said. It's the truest thing 808 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: you ever speaks back spoked. But speaking of young fun 809 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: hip out with it.
