1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: We've got Rockies baseball in an hour and a half.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, doesn't feel like baseball weather outside not here,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: but the Rockies of course playing in Miami, where I

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: imagine Dave, it's probably a little bit more I don't know,

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: all me a way to describe Miami weather this time

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: of year.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: Fine, how are you no? I yeah, yeah, I think

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 3: probably a little bit warmer. I would guess day's good today.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: Hour and a half. Absolutely, there you go, not mad

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 4: at him? Yeah, on a Friday.

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know.

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: We usually just do an hour and a half show

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: and we flip it so it's it's really you know,

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: we just run it twice for three in never mind anyways,

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: five six, six nights, zeros or Kawae Commas spirit all

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: text line. We had all sorts of fun stuff coming up.

00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: Of course, Jack Corgan is going to join us at

00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Rockies out there in Miami. We'll have Ali Ginglekin joining

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: us coming up here, Anglican sorry joining us here in

21

Speaker 2: just a few minutes for the All in All Covered

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: documentary that's going to debut tomorrow night on Channel nine.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Look award to that ultras one stuff.

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: I was thinking about my optimism. I think what.

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: I fifty five and a half is where they're currently

27
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: sitting at Dave. And I know I asked you about

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: this a few weeks ago. I said, I'm firmly on

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the over. But since we're officially here and I have

30
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: the starting lineup sitting in front of me, with McCarthy, Goodman, Castro, Tovar, Rumfield, Beck, Doyle,

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: Julian and Carros, it feels very real.

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Fifty five and a half. What do you say over me?

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 5: Too?

34
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 4: Over by far? I think seventy is wo wow. Seventy

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 4: and ninety two I do not great. But if you

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: took me a hell.

37
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 5: Of a jump, a big jump from last year, and

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 5: I you know, I have a breakout player. I'm really

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 5: excited for. I think a guy who was going to

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 5: take a jumps Jade and hill. You're going to see

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: him really jump and actually really contribute to this team.

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 5: You know, obviously they need all the arms they can get. Yeah,

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm really excited because obviously the kids

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: had potential for for you know a while, and so

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: I think it's he's made the opening day roster, and

46
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 5: so we'll see what he can do. I think he

47
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 5: will find his way up the rotation.

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Yes, you got some new pictures here.

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Lorenz is gonna go tomorrow, Cantana is going to go Sunday,

50
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: Sigano is going to go Monday.

51
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: So it's it's fascinating, Dave.

52
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: We've been doing this for however many years talking about

53
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: the Rockies beginning season. A lot of it has been

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: sort of the same arms. They keep rolling and you know,

55
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: God love him. I'm not saying that they didn't have

56
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: other options waiting, but here you made a very specific

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: intent in your offseason that you needed to improve your

58
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: starting rotation, and they added at least right there, three

59
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: new arms.

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean we'll see, Yeah, we'll see

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: sort of how this how this experiment pans out. But

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: I think again last year was was a horrible year.

63
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: And I have to think for the for the guys

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: that are still here. I mean, Cal Freeland goes tonight,

65
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: he was here last year. Some of the everyday players

66
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: they were here last year as well. And I think

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: if you have the right composition of the team that

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: they're going to want to do everything they can.

69
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: To be not just a little bit better than last year.

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: Last year was embarrassing for everybody connected to the organization.

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I would go over fifty five

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: and a half. In fact, the number has gone up

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: from fifty three. I think it was fifty three and

74
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: a half. Now it's fifty five and a half. So

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: that tells you there are others that think in a

76
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: similar way. But I'm I always get excited this time

77
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: of year for the baseball season to start, and I'm

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: you know, we carry the games. But I'm a Rockies fan,

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: so I'm hoping that they can catch a little magic this.

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: Year and just have a hell of a season.

81
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I always look at it as like I'm ready to

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: be heard again.

83
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: You're ready to be heard or hurt?

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Hurt, you know, like you falling in love again.

85
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: Candy.

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that.

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: You just see Candy.

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: But I but I come into this, you.

89
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Know, like like when Sean Payton, which now will forever

90
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: live an infamy, said Evan.

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: Evan, I'm gonna say.

92
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: Candy, Wow, Candy, oh yeah wow, don't don't worry about

93
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: being hurt, just worry about winning games.

94
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: There it is, That's it. I also I mean, I.

95
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: Want to see Honter Goodman responds after kind of a

96
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: breakout season last year. I mean, he's abouting second tonight.

97
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to be consistently a spot.

98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: We'll chat with Jack here in a little bit, but

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: thirty one home runs night went RBI's last year. He

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: had an unbelievable year. He was an All Star obviously,

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: so can he keep that up? Because well, I.

102
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Mean, you're you're not You're not going to have.

103
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, as much as I I'm looking at

104
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: their death chart right now, you're you're not going to

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: have got him Space's name all of a sudden, Uh,

106
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: the third baseman.

107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: McMahon, No, no, no, no, no. The guy that got it

108
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: from the Cubs got Chris Bryant.

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: Chriss Bryant.

110
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Thank you.

111
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I haven't forgotten about you, Chris Bryant's But I

112
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: don't even know if he's ever going to play baseball.

113
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, again, I I don't fault him. Anybody

114
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: would take that deal if it was handed to him,

115
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: But I think he's been hurt so much that most

116
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: Rockies fans it just kind of moved on evidenced by

117
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: the fact that I couldn't figure.

118
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: Out who the hell you were talking about?

119
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: Third basement? What are we? What are we talking about?

120
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm like Kyle talking, he's outfield, but you know, I

121
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: mean he's he has that a building. But yeah, you're right,

122
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: and that's that's things like he's he's been so away

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: from this team for so long, yet he just he's

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 2: not part of it.

125
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: And says, no, it's not his fault and it's just

126
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: that's part of the game. And the Rockies took a

127
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 5: swing and it's been missing so far. But that's what

128
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: you want to see from this franchise. And obviously it

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 5: didn't work out with Chris Bryan so far, but you

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: don't want him to lose that aggressiveness when it comes

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: to free agents and when it comes to improving the team,

132
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: and when you're a small market team like the Rockies are,

133
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: it hurts when you miss on a big contract like that,

134
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 5: and as you're going to fil the ripple effect for

135
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 5: a couple of years, the goal is, though, is your

136
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 5: minor league team, are your players going to be able

137
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 5: to kind of feel the void until you can kind

138
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 5: of get that contract off the books. Or until he

139
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 5: can actually start contributing to help the team.

140
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: And I hope if nothing else, we talked about this

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: with injured players all the time. I hope with nothing

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: else is he's contributing in other ways. As far as

143
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: being a guy that can pick the other guys up,

144
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: I know that only goes so far when you're not playing, right,

145
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys can.

146
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Speak about it from locker room perspective.

147
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: If you're not playing, there's only so much of a

148
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: leadership voice you can really be in the clubhouse or

149
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: locker room.

150
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

151
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: And also, I mean it's not like Chris was here

152
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 3: prior to the injury and it had put back to

153
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: back or you know, three really good seasons out of

154
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: four whatever. I mean, he wasn't here, so he really

155
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I think his teammates would be aware of

156
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: some of the success he had, especially in Chicago, But

157
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: I think it would be hard to be sort of

158
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: a leader in that role because you haven't because of

159
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: the of the back, you haven't been able to do

160
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: anything to sort of establish yourself as a guy that

161
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: has traction in the clubhouse. So yeah, I mean it's like,

162
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: if it's anything like the NFL I mean, you don't

163
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: wish him any You wish him well, you say what's

164
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: up when you see him, But the train rolls on.

165
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: You got to you gotta go play and deal with

166
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: the guys in the clubhouse.

167
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Besides Goodman, who are you excited about? Sheldon?

168
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 5: I've always been high Tovar, I've and every time I

169
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: go see him, he smacks the home run, makes the

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 5: crazy defensive play.

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, you got to go to a lot of games, then, Well,

172
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: every time.

173
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 5: He plays the Brewers, I swear, I feel like every

174
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: time he plays the Brewers he has a hell of

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: a game. And I just think he's going to build

176
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: on that gold glove. In twenty twenty four, You're going

177
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: to see the bat really come alive. And I like

178
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: what he brings. He brings a little bit of pop

179
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: and he just needs to be more consistent.

180
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: But the low batting average.

181
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: You know, he's what two fifties to sixties, That's that's

182
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 5: normal these days. I was watching something the other day

183
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: and it was showing, you know, these teams that didn't

184
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 5: win a World Series, right, and the top five hitters

185
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: were over three hundred.

186
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

187
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 5: That the games is different now. They are okay, not

188
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: having the high batting average, and that's fine, but he

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 5: has to raise his batting average a little bit more,

190
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 5: get on base a little bit more. And but I

191
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: think he will this year, and I think a lot

192
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: of the Rocky success will be built and will really

193
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: be determined on if Tovar and well Goodman has to

194
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: repeat what he did last year, and you got to

195
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 5: build on it. And obviously there's not much to build

196
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: from a really bad season, but some players had some

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: good seasons and so it's time for them to really step.

198
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 4: Up and do it again.

199
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they brought in Willie Castro, who's gonna play

200
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: second base. They brought him in in the offseason. He

201
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: played with Chicago last year, in Minnesota before then in Detroit.

202
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: He's had he's had some good seasons. Not really a

203
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: big home run guy. He actually had a season there

204
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: with Minnesota. He had thirty three stolen bases. So I mean,

205
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: that's that's career high. I don't know, and I don't

206
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: even know like sort of philosophically, what we're going to

207
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: see from a new manager here, because I never.

208
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: Made sense to me. Yeah, never made sense to me.

209
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: It made sense to me back when they had the

210
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: Blake Street Bombers, when they were a team that was

211
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 3: a long ball hitting team that you don't want to

212
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: You know, some of those guys are not guys that

213
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: are going to be base stealing threats. But when you're

214
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: a team that really does not have the ability to

215
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: hit the ball out of the park, why would you

216
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: not have some guys in that lineup that are threats

217
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: to steal bases. You have to find ways to manufacture runs.

218
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: So to your point, I think it'll be interesting to

219
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 3: see this year. Are they a team that can generates

220
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: some more power in terms of hitting the ball out

221
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 3: of the ballpark except for Goodman? And if not, are

222
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: they going to be a team that will here or

223
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 3: there be aggressive and try to take an extra base

224
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: or try to steal a base.

225
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 5: Well, if you think about it, and this small market,

226
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 5: you know, makeup and I always hate to bring it

227
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: back to Milwaukee Brewers, but they steal bases to score runs.

228
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: They play small ball. They don't rely on the home

229
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 5: run ball because you don't necessarily have the money to

230
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 5: go get the home run hitters, and so you have

231
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: to find new ways to score. You just can't keep

232
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: going about it the same way, and like they said,

233
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 5: the lack of stolen bases is going to hurt them

234
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: and that's the tough part about it.

235
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll come back to the Rockies here at

236
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour with our guy Jack Corgan.

237
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Right now we're heading out to the KWA Coma Spirit

238
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: Health Hotline and bring on Ali Anglican, who is the

239
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: Broncos VP of Community Impact. Ali, You're on with Dave Logan,

00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: debut tomorrow night?

243
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: How are you?

244
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 6: I'm great, Thanks for chatting with me this afternoon.

245
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely good. Good to catch up with the Ali.

246
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: So for people who are going to tune in tomorrow night,

247
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: kind of give a general overview what exactly will they

248
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: see it, Talk a little bit about the program that

249
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,479
Speaker 3: you guys are just on a wonderful job implementing.

250
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Yeah, the program just celebrated our

251
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 6: one year anniversary. So over the course of four years,

252
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: the Denver Broncos Foundation will provide more than fifteen thousand

253
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 6: brand new Redell Axiom helmets to cover every single high

254
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 6: school tackle football program in the state. And so for

255
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 6: such a large scale, unprecedented initiative, we're really fortunate to

256
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 6: have the support internally to put together a full documentary

257
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 6: of that first year, so from the project concepts to implementation,

258
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 6: touring the Riddell Factory, the reasoning behind it and how

259
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: it's really impacting the game was the goal of the program,

260
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 6: so that we could bring that wider to Broncos country.

261
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 5: Hey, Alis Shelby here, I hope you're doing well. Nice,

262
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 5: nice to talk to.

263
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: You too.

264
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: Well, what you know, obviously, this is a big deal,

265
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 5: and you know, we hear about high schools all over

266
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 5: the country being really under equipped, and the Broncos really

267
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: are on the forefront of this, you know, really trying

268
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 5: to help the whole Denver metro in what I consider

269
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: something to be like a huge deal. This is a

270
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: huge deal. What jump started this initiative? What made the

271
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 5: Broncos really just decided this is a big deal that

272
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 5: they need to get in front of and really help

273
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: out their neighbors around the Denver metro.

274
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's such a great question. And the concept really

275
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 6: came to life in a Broncos Foundation board meeting and

276
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 6: We're very fortunate to have the leadership of Greg and

277
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 6: Carry Penner, who across the table looked at the board

278
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 6: and said, what would it take to equip every single

279
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 6: high school football player in the state with a new helmet.

280
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: We know that concerns around player safety and concerns around

281
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 6: access to equipment or two of the biggest barriers for

282
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 6: high schoolers looking to play the sport, and so if

283
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 6: we could remove that cost barrier and support players with

284
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 6: an up to date helmet across the entire state, we

285
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 6: were hoping to be able to make an impact on

286
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 6: participation numbers and health and safety and really level the

287
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 6: playing field for programs throughout all of Colorado.

288
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: What's been the response so far from the schools from

289
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: the community with this effort, It's.

290
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 6: Been really positive, and we've had the opportunity to travel

291
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 6: the state. Bobby Mestis, our director of Youth and High

292
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 6: School Football nine, visit town from Durango to Fort Moore

293
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 6: in Pueblo. We were in Grand Junction earlier this week

294
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 6: meeting with coaches and administrators there, and so for a

295
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 6: program that has true statewide impact, we really hit the

296
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 6: ground to make sure that we're also visiting instead of

297
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 6: just donating. So I have a lot of touch points

298
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: in the metro area and we're very fortunate to have

299
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: so many schools in that area. But this program allowed

300
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 6: us to go out on the road and so being

301
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 6: those coaches, administrators, players for the first time being a

302
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 6: part of their fitting equipment, inviting them to empower field

303
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 6: for our city championship highlights on the field. This has

304
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 6: just given us such a greater relationship building opportunity with

305
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 6: high school program and something that we're really proud to

306
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 6: be a leader in this base one.

307
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: You know my last question for you, l and I

308
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: think it sort of plays into your latest response. It's

309
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: often because we're one of them. You hear about, well,

310
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: the big schools they get everything, they get a chance

311
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: to play their state championship game used to be an

312
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: empower field, and some of the the lower level classification

313
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: schools don't. I think I think one of the things

314
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: that makes this particular program so cool is that it

315
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: touches every single school in the state in an area

316
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: that is so needed. And Shelby asked a question about

317
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: what prompted it, But I can tell you as a

318
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: high school coach to go out and you have to.

319
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: You have to you have an allocation most schools do

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: in terms of budgets, but you got to go out

321
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: and raise money and equipment football equipment and in particular

322
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: helmets are so expensive these days. But again, every school

323
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: benefits from this program.

324
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was the goal from the beginning, and honestly,

325
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 6: the nod to the name of all in it was

326
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 6: important that all schools were covered in that. So with

327
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: two hundred and seventy seven high schools playing tackle football

328
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 6: in the state, and so from public to private, from

329
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 6: six man to five A, every single schools included because

330
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 6: the need is at every single school. So even those

331
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 6: schools and districts that have larger ptas or opportunities for fundraising,

332
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: there are still players and there are still budgets that

333
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 6: can be positively impacted by this. And really the trickle

334
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 6: down effect of that is what makes us so excited

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 6: over the next couple of years. So we've had schools

336
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 6: across the state that have added girls flag football because

337
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 6: they've saved money on purchasing helmets for the next four years.

338
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 6: We have schools looking to renovate their weight rooms that

339
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 6: could that would serve really all student athletes in the school.

340
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 6: So while it's a football centered program, there is this

341
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 6: ripple effect that is impacting every single high school athlete

342
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 6: across the state.

343
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: Again, all in all covered.

344
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: The dever Broncos documentary Protecting the Game will debut locally

345
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200

350
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: Last thing, I have reality and I always appreciate the time.

351
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: So people are going to.

352
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: Watch this and then sort of what do you think

353
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: the community reaction will ultimately be?

354
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 5: Like?

355
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: What are you hoping people will get out of this

356
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: documentary and sort of learn not only about what this

357
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: philanthropic approach is and what you guys have been trying

358
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: to do, but what do you hope the ramifications will

359
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: be for it?

360
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

361
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 6: I hope that those tuning in will see that it's

362
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 6: more than just a helmet donation program. It does have

363
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: why the ranging impact from player health and safety to

364
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 6: participation numbers and impacts on other sports, and I hope

365
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 6: it sheds the light on the great work that coaches

366
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 6: like Dave and others in the state are doing to

367
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 6: support young athletes, like those coaches in a player's life

368
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 6: and Shelby, I don't know if you can attest to

369
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 6: this from your perspective too, but the football coaches and

370
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 6: athletic coaches at the high school level are true role

371
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 6: models and those sharing adults that are looking out for kids,

372
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 6: and we hope this shine just an incredible way on

373
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 6: those that are doing that great work every single day

374
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 6: in the school.

375
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: I can definitely attest to that. I'll definitely say I

376
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: would not be here today if it would not be

377
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: for my coaches in high school and then you football,

378
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 5: they truly as a guy that grew up without a father,

379
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: I think they always are the ones that you look

380
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: towards for those father figure type role models, and they

381
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: do a hell of a job of doing it.

382
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: Man.

383
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: So once again, we'll thank you to Dave Logan too,

384
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 5: because we already know yes, he's done that to so many,

385
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 5: so many kids throughout the years.

386
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: There's that huge there's so many coaches out there, not

387
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: only in our state, but across the country, but in

388
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: particular in our state that do that, and more so

389
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: shout out to those guys for sure.

390
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: Definitely, absolutely, Ali, thank you so much for the time

391
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: this afternoon, and can't wait to watch it tomorrow night.

392
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you Gray so much.

393
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Hope you have a guest of your day, all right, Ali,

394
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: Anglican Broncos VP of Community Impact.

395
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: Good stuff.

396
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: And I thought sort of your point there, Dave, especially

397
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: being as close as you are to it was an

398
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: incredibly important one. And I imagine you're looking forward to

399
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 2: watching this seeing how they kind of all put it

400
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: all together.

401
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: Yep.

402
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely and Shelby. Shelby's point was so good. People don't

403
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: understand that are maybe not closely tied to high school football,

404
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 3: and we have a lot of other things to do,

405
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: and high school football is not as big a deal

406
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: in this state as maybe other states like Texas and

407
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: Florida and so forth. I think it should be, but

408
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: it is incredibly expensive. Two you know, to look and

409
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: see helmets and shoulder pads, and the amount of money

410
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: needed to run a program is extensive, and there are

411
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: you know, there's some schools that budget wise, and then

412
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: you have to recondition that equipment during the offseason and

413
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: a reconditioning company will come through and say, hey, here's

414
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: the helmets and this one is good good, and.

415
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: Hope that one's out.

416
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: That one's out, well, then you have you have to

417
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: find a way to replace those helmets right the budget.

418
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 4: So this is I mean, this was incredibly.

419
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 3: Generous I think from from Greg and Cary and I

420
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: think and it was a great idea and it for

421
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: it pushes forward our sport at a.

422
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 4: At a youth level.

423
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: And that I mean that's for a lot of kids,

424
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 3: whether they may play youth football or not, but a

425
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: lot of kids have started their football careers maybe just

426
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: before high school, and maybe some have started even in

427
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: high school.

428
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: So it's it's a great program.

429
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: And I think, uh, it's it's thoughtful of the Walton

430
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: Pinner Family ownership group without question.

431
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: Perfectly said all right, we're gonna come back to the

432
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: Rockies when we come back with Jack.

433
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Corgan that his neck.

434
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: Is there, Kae common Spirit health text line of the

435
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: mixed bag on the text so far, well.

436
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: We got a little back and forth with one of

437
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: our textures from the eighth eight.

438
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Where's eight oh eight Hawaii?

439
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: Are okay? Well, nice place.

440
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: His first text was, sorry, guys, this program is just

441
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: the NFL spending unmissed money keeping their player farm going.

442
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: This costs the NFL almost nothing to keep kids playing

443
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: their game. And my response was, Hey, I mean, can

444
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: we just find something to be to be positive about?

445
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: I mean, whether or not the Broncos will miss in

446
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: this case, because it is the Broncos program, will miss

447
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: the money that they spend on this, Yeah, probably not,

448
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: but it's much needed. There's plenty, there's plenty of high

449
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: schools in this state that have trouble raising that much money. Right,

450
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: So if going to donate helmets to every single school,

451
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 3: and these are nice, expensive helmets, what's not what's not

452
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: to look at that and be positive about? I mean,

453
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: does I mean they're always in today's time, somebody has

454
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: to find something negative about.

455
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: Everything to report. And that was that was my response.

456
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 4: Do we find Jack?

457
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: We got Jack?

458
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: Well?

459
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 3: Speaking of positive, speaking of positive, Jack's coach high school

460
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: football for a long time. He knows, I mean, trying

461
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: to equip kids and the budget and go out and

462
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: buy helmets and shoulder pads is not. That's a hard

463
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: task for many many, many schools.

464
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and kudos to the Broncos for doing that. Yeah,

465
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: it's it's a great thing, Dave, that that they not

466
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 7: only are they outfitting all of these Colorado high schools

467
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: with helmets, but important helmets that help preserve the safety

468
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 7: of all these young men that are playing and that

469
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 7: their families will be less concerned of a serious injury.

470
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 7: It's I don't get it either.

471
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's talk about the opener. I think a

472
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: lot of people are fired up. The baseball season is here.

473
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: The Rockies open tonight. You guys are in Miami. I

474
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: mean for people that are hoping that this season Jack

475
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: is going to be better, maybe much better than last year.

476
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: What two or three positive sort of immediately pop into

477
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: your mind as to why that can be true.

478
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 7: Well, I think two things, and probably number one. First

479
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 7: and foremost is an atmosphere an environment now that seems

480
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 7: much more positive. This is a very collaborative coaching staff,

481
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 7: his hands on and you and I both know for

482
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: all the years just at the high school level, and

483
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 7: all the years you've followed the NFL, first as a

484
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 7: player then as a coach, kids today have to be

485
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 7: coached differently. I mean, it's still the same game. But

486
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 7: how that message gets across has evolved, and this is

487
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 7: a front office and Warren Schaffer and his coaching staff

488
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 7: have embraced that, and I think there's a much better

489
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 7: feel in the clubhouse for the players that the team

490
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 7: is invested in them and vice versa. The second thing,

491
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 7: the three veteran starting pitchers, Maybe that'll blow up in

492
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 7: their face, but you don't know until you try it.

493
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 7: I think Michael Lorenzen, Jose Kingtana and Tomo Yuki Sugano

494
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 7: make this team better just with their experience in the rotation.

495
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 7: It's not just Kyle Freeland and four other guys now

496
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 7: who maybe are still learning or not quite there now.

497
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 7: There's a lot of stability in that rotation.

498
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: Jock, we're talking about Hunter Goodban just a little bit earlier,

499
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: and he, I guess would identify as probably your best

500
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: player in your lineup. What are your expectations, I mean,

501
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: thirty one home runs dwguin RBI, I mean, he had

502
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: an unbelievable All Star season. Can he, I guess, either

503
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: top that or at least stay to that standard this

504
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: year in your opinion.

505
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 7: Well, you know, Ryan, I think one of the things

506
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 7: that the Rockies always felt, and really all of baseball did,

507
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 7: and their evaluations of Hunter when he was playing at

508
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 7: Memphis was that this guy can hit, but can we

509
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 7: find a place for him to play? And he finally

510
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 7: got that chance with Bud Black and Mike Redman working

511
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 7: on him that hey, you're going to be a catcher,

512
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 7: just worry about catching. He's really made progress in that

513
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 7: regard handling pitchers and working behind the plate, and I

514
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 7: think it just freed him up to not have that

515
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 7: burden on him. And we've seen the hitter that all

516
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 7: the scouting reports said he was going to be, So,

517
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 7: you know, will it be a thirty ninety year again,

518
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 7: I don't know. It might be more, might be less,

519
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 7: but he's going to be a solid hitter for a

520
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 7: long period of time. And it's great to have a

521
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 7: young bat like that in the middle of the Rockies lineup.

522
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 5: Hey, Jack, Shelby Harris here just looking at this team,

523
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 5: looking at this roster. There's some new players on the roster,

524
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: and there's some guys who are in the minors last

525
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: year that are up. Now, who's a guy on this

526
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 5: team that you believe will be, you know, really be

527
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 5: a breakout. We'll have a breakout season that the fans

528
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: may not really know much about.

529
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 7: I would say a couple of people, Shelby, to be

530
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 7: honest with you, first, I don't know how many people

531
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 7: know that much about Willie Castro, who was with the Twins,

532
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 7: was an All Star with Minnesota. He's a guy, and

533
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 7: you know this from your career when you have guys

534
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 7: in your locker room, in your clubhouse who work is harder,

535
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 7: harder than anybody else, but they do it in a

536
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 7: fashion that their teammates appreciate and want to emulate. Willie

537
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 7: brings that to this team. His versatility is another positive.

538
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 7: He's played seven positions at the major league level and

539
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 7: so that's a help. Then the other thing, or the

540
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 7: other couple of guys. Kyle Carross really impressed me during

541
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 7: the spring. I wondered if he was going to be

542
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 7: ready after the forty some games he played last year

543
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 7: down the stretch when he was pretty much an empty

544
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 7: gas tank. He was really good in spring training on

545
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 7: both sides of the ball. Somebody, one of the national reporters,

546
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 7: asked me to give him a breakout guy, and I said,

547
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 7: Jordan Beck, I think he has a chance to be

548
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 7: a plus hitter in this game. And then the rookie

549
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 7: who's going to play first base, TJ. Rumfield, who they

550
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 7: got in the trade with the Yankees, handled everything they

551
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 7: asked him to do in spring training, was the MVP

552
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 7: of the spring. He's gonna make his debut tonight and

553
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 7: first base for the Rockies.

554
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: Not too shabby, Hey, Jack, final question for me.

555
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: You get Freeland tonight in the opener. I know Kyle

556
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: didn't have the kind of season he wanted to last year,

557
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: but I've always I've always been a Kyle Freeland fan.

558
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: You've seen him all spring.

559
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: Realistically, what can Rocky fans expect from Kyle Freeland this year?

560
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 7: You know, Dave, I think I'm like you. I mean,

561
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 7: I've always loved Kyle. His want to his competitiveness is

562
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 7: off the chart in that regard. I think he has

563
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 7: found some pitching coaches that connect with him. His velocity

564
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 7: was up a tick during the spring.

565
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 4: His pitching.

566
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 7: Bag of tricks, if you will, is a little larger

567
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 7: than it's been. And maybe most of all, Dave, with

568
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 7: those other three veterans starting pitchers, I think Kyle relaxes

569
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 7: a little bit, and it's not like man if I

570
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 7: don't pitch great tonight, We're going to go a week

571
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 7: before we get another good starting performance. And I think

572
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 7: that's been lifted off his shoulders. So let's hope that

573
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 7: enables him to roll out the kind of year that

574
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 7: he had earlier in his career.

575
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 4: Hey, Jack, was my last question.

576
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 5: Obviously, Baseball as a sport where you can, just like

577
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: any other professional sport, where you can be here one

578
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 5: day and be gone the next. Who's someone on the

579
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: roster who you believe could be traded one of the

580
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 5: starters I could be traded closer to the trade deadline,

581
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: and someone that you know that really you couldn't expect

582
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: to really be here all season.

583
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I think any one of those three

584
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 7: veterans starting pitchers who the Rockies saw him as a

585
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 7: way to stabilize their rotation. And if it's a case,

586
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 7: you know, come towards the deadline shelby where you know

587
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 7: a team's looking for veteran pitching help, and whether it's

588
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 7: Lorenzo or Sugano or or I think especially Keem Tonig

589
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 7: is he's left handed that that somebody might say, hey, well,

590
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 7: what are you looking for? If we try and grab

591
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 7: this guy? I kind of hope you'll be here all year,

592
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 7: but like you said, that's the nature of sport in general,

593
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 7: so I think if they're gonna make deals during the year,

594
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 7: those would be the most likely.

595
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 4: Guys.

596
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 2: Well, Jack, I really can't wait to hear you start

597
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: your broadcast for the new season coming up here about

598
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: forty five minutes.

599
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Very excited about the season. Thank you so much for

600
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: the time this afternoon, my friend.

601
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 7: As always, guys, I appreciate it.

602
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Jack, Right, Jack Corgan Boys, the Rockies, Like

603
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: I said, Rockies Marlins gets underway. Pregame coverage at four

604
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: thirty ore Agon, we have Rockies Baseball starting at four thirty.

605
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 2: We're gonna I want to ask you about that segment

606
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: you do with Benny Fowler Dave that's been kind of

607
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: burning up Twitter, where he said that he Marvin Mims might.

608
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 4: Request that great.

609
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a lot of people, a lot of

610
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: people were reacting to it, So I want I want

611
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: to ask you about that a little bit, so we'll

612
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: get into that conversation. Tiger Woods arrested today at a

613
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: crash scene on suspicion of Duy. We'd found out earlier

614
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: in the day that he struck another vehicle and rolled

615
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: his land rover, and then over the course of the

616
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: last hour, we found out that he was arrested on

617
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: suspicion of dui.

618
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: And of course this is his third crash.

619
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: That I know of, because he had twenty twenty one

620
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: where he had the leg injuries where he's pinned under

621
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: the car, and then he had the one in twenty

622
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: twenty three as well that he had surgeries from. So

623
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: not great for Tiger, who was just kind of making

624
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: a comeback. He was playing on that that's a I

625
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: can't remember what it's called, but he was on TV.

626
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: We were watching in the studio the other night.

627
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.

628
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: Think if I'm Tiger from this point on, he could

629
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 3: certainly afford it. I'm gonna get some I'm gonna get

630
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: a driver, man, I'm talking about he needs one bad.

631
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to get a driver, not like

632
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: a driver on the T box driver. I'm going to

633
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: get somebody. He's going to be my official driver because

634
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: he just can't. I mean, it's I'm glad he's okay,

635
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: he's not seriously injured. There was nobody else injured in

636
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: the wreck.

637
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 5: But dude, it's just as getting out of hand. Yeah,

638
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: eventually you got assume that they're going to take his

639
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 5: license away. Oh he's going to kill himself. Yeah, I

640
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 5: mean it's a rollover you. He's had two he's had

641
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 5: two single you know, car accidents.

642
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: He fell asleep, was meant to report in the first

643
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 3: of the pills. With the pills. Now, he was cited

644
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: for a d u I. But on this, this one

645
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: that happened today, Yes, but did he he didn't flunk

646
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 3: a sobriety test right.

647
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were reading some of that right here.

648
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 4: So they said he.

649
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 5: Blew zeros and then when they said all right, let's

650
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 5: do urine test, he wouldn't comply, and so that's why

651
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 5: he got tried. So it's not alcohol, you know, something else.

652
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 5: But you know it's it's not even about we look

653
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: at these guys as you know, Tiger was the golf

654
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: for you know, Nike all about Tiger. But let's worry

655
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: about the man right now. I think, you know, prayers

656
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: out to him. Hopefully this is a wake up call

657
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 5: so he doesn't need to do this and ever again,

658
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: like Dave said, go get a driver. Yeah, that's a

659
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 5: smart thing to do. You know, you see a lot

660
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 5: of guys do that. I just think that he has

661
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: to change up something because we can't keep seeing he's

662
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 5: hurting his legacy by going down this path of you know,

663
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 5: no one is going to forget. Even South Park made

664
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: an episode about the time when he ran to the

665
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 5: tree and when it when it's extras chasing himself, you

666
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 5: know what I mean. So these things are attached to him,

667
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 5: and so he needs to do some type of work

668
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 5: on himself to set pray himself from all this and

669
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 5: to get better.

670
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: Well, and he's prey, you know what. Listen, we don't

671
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: know for sure, but I would I would guess he's

672
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 3: in a significant amount of pain on almost a daily basis.

673
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe there's part of this that is a

674
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: self medication thing. But he's got to he's so lucky

675
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 3: that he's alive. When you roll a car, I mean

676
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: that we all know that thing can go real bad,

677
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: real quick. And he's done it. You know, he's done

678
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: it more than once. Man, two o'clock in the afternoon.

679
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: You know, like, what what do you I guess if

680
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: you're self medicating because of pain, then that is pain

681
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: doesn't know matter the clock you just have to you

682
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 3: just can't get behind a wheel.

683
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess was the TGL that we we we've

684
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 2: been watching on TV. It's nice five o'clock of the afternoon.

685
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: Usually we're sitting here and that pops on on Tuesdays.

686
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 2: But they just played the finals and he came back

687
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: to play in that. So you're sort of hoping that

688
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 2: maybe this was the beginning of a comeback, that he's

689
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: going to jump back into the PGA Tour, which he

690
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: had not announced just yet. But this is certainly not

691
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 2: the news I thought would fly across the timeline on

692
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: Tiger WIOD afternoon.

693
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back again.

694
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about what Benny said to

695
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: you earlier this week on DMVR about Marvin Mims requesting

696
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: a trade.

697
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: Potentially. We'll get to that next
