Speaker 3: popped out of the bicept again, creating excruciating pain. I'll

Speaker 3: about my arm and I went to pull it open

00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,080

Speaker 3: Amost a coin flip, but I don't have a three

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: sided coin, so I'll probably just uh.

34
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: I can't do wordle.

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: Can't do word I would you say, I have.

36
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: A decent vocabulary.

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you come up with words I've never heard of

38
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: all the time.

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: I can't play wordle. Really, it drives me insane. I'm

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: doing it last night. I'm stuck. Dude says, really, let

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: me check.

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: He goes on.

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: Within like three minutes he's done with wordley. I'm still

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: I I can't do and have you ever played we

45
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: bring up? I can't play shuffalo either. That one's a

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: little easier for me. But shuffalo lets you get as

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: many hints as you want. I mean, I'll take Kinstill

48
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: its spells everything except one.

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I try to challenge myself so I don't have to

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: take his.

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: I know I do.

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: I just can't do it because I was going to say,

53
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: instead of Gilligan's Island, maybe I'll play wordle, But I

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: I don't even know, because I've only tried it a

55
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: couple times, and I don't think.

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: I've ever got the word. I've never done it.

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: In connections on the sports is too easy now, most

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: times it is. It's just so simple, matter of fact.

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: I'll get one and says you, you know, you were perfect.

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 3: I got it, you know, right away, and they'll say

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: you were better than most. And then I look and

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: some people will struggle with it, and I'm like, man,

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: I thought I was bad at wordle. If you can't

64
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: figure out that the four names, oh, the first names

65
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: of those people is all Bobby, you know, It's like, how.

66
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: Can you not know that?

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: What's night?

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: Well?

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: What's your starting word in the world?

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: Well, I don't you mentioned you do a starting word.

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: I have a system because somebody told me that to

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: challenge yourself you shouldn't use the.

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: Same starting word. But I need all the help, That's

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I don't know.

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: Now do I have this straight? If it's green, that

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: means it's the right letter and it's in the right place, right, well,

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: the fact that you're asking that might be part of

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: your problem. And then gold means it's the right letter,

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: but it's not in the right space. And if it's gray,

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: don't the letter it's not even in there.

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: So I got that straight. So that can't be my excuse.

82
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: I'd love to have been able to say, oh, well,

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: that's what it is, because that's not I know the

84
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: rules of the game.

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: Can we have Kara tomorrow or even today if you

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: haven't been a word yet, today we have Kara videoing

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: you playing World to see how long it takes you.

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: She's still alone.

89
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's sure. I would do that, absolutely. I will

90
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: give it a try. I don't mind embarrassing myself.

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: It's okay. I do it every day noon to three.

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: You heard the one listener say, so, I've heard that

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: you're supposed to use a lot of vowels in that word.

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: In that word, yeah, I try to get rid. Well,

95
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: so my first word is always stare st a r e.

96
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Because if you ever watched The Wheel of Fortune, right,

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: the most common. The ones they do at the final

98
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: puzzle are r st lne. Yeah, but then I want

99
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: to get an A in there as well. Okay, and

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: then after that's done, depending on what letters I have

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: have that are still around, then I try to get

102
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: all the vowels out of the way, okay, So then

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: you can just really hone in on consonants and you

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: get your bowels in the right spots.

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: So like zebra wouldn't be a good starting word, probably because.

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: A good quality letters, but the odds of it being

107
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: a z is very slim, so it's kind of a waste.

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: And ukulele is too many words.

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: I know others that use audio because they have four

110
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: vowels in the same one.

111
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 4: Someone said they tried roast.

112
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: That's the word they use ro a roast is Yeah,

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty solid.

114
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 4: Well, maybe I'll give it another try.

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: I was so frustrated last night, Deuce was almost in tears.

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: I want to watch you play wordle.

117
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: Now.

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: You know others like we'll pay people they'll watch on

119
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: other people playing video games.

120
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I want to watch you play word it.

121
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: And I can see where people get addicted to it, right,

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: they want to play it all the time, Right, they played.

123
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 4: They got all these different word games.

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 3: You can do wordle, hurdle, Shuffalo, Buffalo, all these different

125
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: word games, and I've tried them and they just frustrate

126
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: me because it's just I actually start like sweating, and

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: my blood pressure rises, my heart starts pounding faster.

128
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: It's not good for me.

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: You never really answered the program predicament. It sounds like

130
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: you're not gonna play wordle. I'm not gonna play wordle.

131
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: I think I'll probably watch I watched a couple of

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: episodes of Hogan's Heroes.

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 4: The other night. Maybe I'll watch Leave It to Beaver

134
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: or something.

135
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if I was gonna pick one of

136
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: those sporting events. The Wolves are up against it the

137
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: wild is there just going kind of going through Well, no,

138
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: we can still get to second right, but I mean,

139
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's cracking any good.

140
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: They were kind of in the playoff mix for a

141
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: long time. They've started to fallout because they're this is

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: probably where they should be.

143
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: The Woofies have they're at Indiana.

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: Indiana wants me. Yeah, I don't know.

145
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: I'd probably watch Twins. I don't mind watching the Twins

146
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: right now. It's early in the season, trying to support

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: the local nine a little bit. I was told by

148
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: the pollot of pocket Protectors that I should enjoy watching

149
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: these young kids in develop That's what I should do.

150
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: So I'm watching the young kids development.

151
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: Well, Dallas plays Calgary tonight, so that if you have

152
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Wild versus cracking Dallas plays Calgary at the same time,

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: it'd be interesting if the Wild get more points than

154
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: Dallas does tonight in some form to make it even

155
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: more interesting for their clash on Thursday.

156
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then maybe maybe a maybe you've talked me

157
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: into it. Maybe I'll do that.

158
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: Question number two. Oh my game, let's win.

159
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: Let's game there. Lets It's now time to take an

160
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: in depth look at the state of the school.

161
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Bill Barnwell at ESPN dot Com did a twenty twenty

162
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: six NFL mock draft with all trades mock, so he

163
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: was throwing a bunch of He was basically for every pick,

164
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: he was throwing out a potential trade that could be made,

165
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: and he had one involving the Minnesota Vikings in the

166
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. Here's the trade. He suggested, we get Stafford.

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: The Rams have picked thirteen. Heath says the Rams should

168
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: trade pick thirteen in the first round to the Vikings

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: in exchange for pick eighteen in the first round, picked

170
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: ninety seven, which is that compensatory pick and quarterback JJ McCarthy.

171
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: Common If you were the Vikings, would you make this trade? Yeah,

172
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: basically you're trading picked ninety seven and JJ McCarthy to

173
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: move up five spots in the first round.

174
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know. The question is would the

175
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: Rams do it? Why would they be interested in JJ McCarthy.

176
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: If well, if they believed in JJ and they want

177
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: a potential young replacement for Matthew's stafford whenever he decides

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: to retire. I wonder if they might think he's a

179
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: quarterback Westborough so he can get the most out of JJ.

180
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 3: I wonder what the interest level is on JJ McCarthy

181
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: if there are.

182
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 4: You know, again, he's.

183
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: My first instinct.

184
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: What I read it was that's a lot to give

185
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: up to move up five spots. But then I went

186
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: online to those NFL Draft trade chart basically calculators that

187
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: as science points to each pick, and basically it is

188
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: equating JJ McCarthy to being a late third round pick, which,

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: when you look at it that way, I'm like I

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: probably would trade JJ for a late third round, so

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: it's it's technically yeah, okay, I think a fair trade,

192
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: and I would like that value out of JJ.

193
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: You know, I think I've said this before.

194
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 3: My gut just tell me JJ's just going to be

195
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: an ordinary quarterback at best, right at best. But you know,

196
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: sometimes I have indigestion, and maybe that's what my gut's

197
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: telling Maybe he'll end up being a really good player.

198
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean, he was tenth overall, He's was always a winner.

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: He's had moments as a pro. But it goes back

200
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: to how much time does any team have to let

201
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: a guy learn his trade? But you gotta You can't

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: learn by I mean, you can learn certain aspects of

203
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: the game by watching from the bench, but eventually you

204
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 3: got to go out and play. And then how long

205
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: of a leash does a guy have? How long of

206
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: alish does a coach have? We talked about other players

207
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: on the team, and to other players on the team.

208
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: I youer Venter and you're sitting. If you're Jefferson, you're

209
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: going I don't want to wait for this kid to

210
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: go through growing pains for three years and waste the

211
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: prime of my career. So it's a really difficult situation.

212
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: It's hard to give a young quarterback much. But we

213
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: see what happens sometimes. We saw what happen with with

214
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: with the old Sam.

215
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 4: Darnold as an arm.

216
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: He won a big game after failing in two different

217
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: places and having a couple of poor games for the

218
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: Vikings the season.

219
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: I I don't know if I would do that or not,

221
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: because again, Vikings need so you would be basically would.

222
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: Would we be giving up.

223
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: We're giving up the compensatory third round pick and J J.

224
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: McCarthy to move up five spots in the first one.

225
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if I want to give

226
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: away uh uh, I still want to give up the

227
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: draft picks, That's what last say. I don't know if

228
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: I want to give up that draft pick that that come.

229
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: Out with multiple darts at this thing.

230
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: That compensatory pick is basically end of the the second

231
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: round or end of the.

232
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: End of the third round. It's the first pick basically

233
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: after then.

234
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's you can you can get a

235
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: player there. I don't know.

236
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 3: And that's it for today's edition of five Questions, well,

237

Speaker 1: But five sounds like more than four.

00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: A thirteen fourteen past Common Man program, I'm common Keys

250
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: tend to be Masters number. We had ninety eight or

251
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: ninety nine. I don't even recall what number it is.

252
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: It's Masters twenty twenty six.

253
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 4: I do know that.

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: Tuesday Champions Dinner Tonight Rory is hosting.

255
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 4: I saw either I heard it on Live From, which is.

256
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: Emmy was number ninety for Master.

257
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: Number ninety award winning.

258
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: Television show on Golf Channel called Live From and they'll

259
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: do live from all the major championships and from the players,

260
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: et cetera. And Tonight's Rory put together the menu for

261
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: whoever is the defending champions? Together the menu right, And

262
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: I looked at it. I remember what it all entails.

263
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: But I do know that there apparently is going to

264
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: be fifty thousand dollars worth of wine. That's what they

265
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: estimated the total cost of the wine. And it's I

266
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: don't think it's because they've got like crates of it

267
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: tend to be. It's I think it's because it's very

268
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: pricey wine. Right. You know, as they said the club,

269
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: the club doesn't pay for that. Rory's got a shell

270
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: out to this. Rory shells out the money for the

271
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: for the wine. Really he can afford it, I think.

272
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: But I mean, does the club pay for the meal?

273
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: Well, I think they do. I would, I would hope.

274
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Rory's probably made what a couple hundred million

275
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: dollars playing golf. That's what I always tell people, though,

276
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: after taxes. If it's stakes two, it's really one.

277
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 4: Be honest. He's going to buy a.

278
00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: Car's mama house, save and best use.

279
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: Flaw.

280
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if he can make that last. But yeah,

281
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: so he's got a poem.

282
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: You look at it as an investment because he'll be

283
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: doing Master's dinners for the next years.

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, or someone else will be paying for it.

285
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: It's correct.

286
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: So it's just it's just an upfront payment. Yeah, I

287
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: guess if you learn somebody else to be paying for

288
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: it unless you win again.

289
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: You're doing a master's pool this year, tennaby.

290
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: I haven't even seen anyone throwing out yet. They haven't

291
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: gotten invited.

292
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: I think I can. Maybe it might be able to

293
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: get you into one. This is a.

294
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: Golfing pal of my basketball buddy. He's got me into

295
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: a master's pool. Ten dollars entry. That's big money for me.

296
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: That's usually not the kind of money I like to spend.

297
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: It's a points system. You know, the winner get you know,

298
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: if you pick the winner of the the mass is

299
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: you get one hundred points for that. Second points is

300
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: fifty third, thirty, twenty ten five two. There are two

301

00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: on tour. He won at Riviera this year. It was

316
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: the week before where he was down on the beach

317
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: at he was in the hunt toward the end.

318
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't gonna win. It wasn't like his

319
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 4: collapse on the last hole cost him, but he ended

320
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: up boguing from the beach. He hit his he hit

321
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: his second.

322
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: He was trying to get home in two, and he

323
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: hit it over the green and down onto the beach.

324
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: And because the other guys that were marked, they have to.

325
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: I think we talked about this the people working in

326
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 4: the tournament rules.

327
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: They have to park a golf cart in front of

328
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 3: the green so the last group would know that they're

329
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 3: still playing the hole.

330
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 4: Right, he's down on the beach.

331
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: He hits his shot and hits the retaining wall and

332
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: stays down on the beach. So now he's at sea's two,

333
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: he's three, he throws it up in four, gets it

334
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: on into the rougher out into the fairway in front

335
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: of the green, knocks it on and then makes it

336
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: one punce, so he ends up boging from down there.

337
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: But then he won the next week at Riviera, So

338
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: you know, again, I go with players that have played

339
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: well recently. Now again, there were so many stats they

340
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: threw out yesterday. You know, first timers rarely win there,

341
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: and I think this is his first time, but I'm

342
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: really not looking for him to win. I'm just looking

343
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: for him to get me some points, right, But first

344
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: timers don't win very often there. A matter of fact,

345
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: it's only happened twice, the very first masters.

346
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 4: Of course, it was the first time for everybody.

347
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: We talked about it yesterday and then Fuzzy Zeller won

348
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: as a rookie and seventy something or other I think

349
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: it was.

350
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: But they also said I think there was a stat they.

351
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: Had where of the last I wish I remember what

352
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: the time frames were.

353
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: It was like it was like three different decades.

354
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: There was like the last ten to fifteen years or whatever,

355
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: but like I can't remember the exact number, but they're

356
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: like the last ten fifteen to twenty winners have all

357
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: been ranked in the top in or better. You don't

358
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: see a lot of the the players that come out

359
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: of nowhere, and where'd that guy come from? You know,

360
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: you just don't see that very often tournament. Well, that's

361
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: part of it. And the other that's a large part

362
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: of it, and and and the and the other is

363
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 3: is that it is an experienced golf course. And then

364
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: they's all this, you know, and again this is that

365
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: inside baseball talk that they do.

366
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: It's the old you know, this is.

367
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: A really you get a lot of hook lies out

368
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 3: there on the golf course. So if you're good at

369
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: hitting hook lies, you got a better chance to win.

370
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: The reason I took the tea out of my right column,

371
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: I took two players because I thought he was one

372
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: of the better players in that column. And also he's

373
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: a left hander, and left hander's do have success there.

374
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: I mean they have.

375
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: I mean we've seen Michelson web but twice Michelson has won.

376
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: Is it three jackets, Mike, we're one one, So you

377
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: would left handers have fared well there, So uh, we'll

378
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: see how it goes.

379
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: But yeah, the.

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 2: Master's are kind of other than the fact that it's

381
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: a great course and everything else that they've done, but

382
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: the fact that they do limit the pool of players. Yeah,

383
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: so basically every time you're looking up at the scoreboard,

384
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: it's names. People recognize this, right, yes, Yeah, it's generally, oh,

385
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: this is a great leader board we have here.

386
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: Compared to some of the other events wat you get

387
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: a five.

388
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: Year exemption if you win you know, the a US Open,

389
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: the Open, or the PGA Championship. Then they always let

390
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 3: like they just you know, like if you won the

391
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: Hong Kong Open, you get in. If you won the

392
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: Australian Open, so if you've won one, you know, I

393
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: think it's like a half a dozen Open championship from

394
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: around the world.

395
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: You get in.

396
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: If you are there's two teenagers playing and they were

397
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 3: both in the United States Amateur last year. If you

398
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: win the United States Amateur or you are the runner

399
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: up in the United States Amateur, you get to play

400
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: at Augusta. I know, Tennabee, you always play to win,

401
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 3: but finish and runner up at the.

402
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: It's a nice consolation prize.

403
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: If you finish runner up at the United States Amateur,

404
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: you get an invitation to play at Augusta National Golf Club.

405
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 4: At Augusta Georgia.

406
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: If you're the Midim champion, right, that's thirty five or older,

407
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: it eliminates all the young kids.

408
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 4: If you're the United States mid Am champ, you get a.

409
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: So how do they determine the rest of the field then, oh, top.

410
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: Top fifty I think in the world or money winners.

411
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: Or whatever it is.

412
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of different criteria. If you look

413
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: at the list of players that's in, they'll have a

414
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 3: number listed after them. Sometimes some guys will have five

415
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: or six numbers. If you have a number one next

416
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: year name, that means you are in. Because you are

417
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: you are a former champion, you have lifetime exemption right

418
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: until it gets to the point where you get really old.

419
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: Like I've told the story about Doug Ford, right, Doug

420
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 3: Ford won in nineteen fifty seven or fifty eight, and

421
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: he kept.

422
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: Showing up into his seventies.

423
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: And the last year he played, I think he like

424
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: doubled the first hole and they told.

425
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 4: Him after that Masters he missed the cut.

426
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: Of course, they said, Doug, we think it's time you

427
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: stop coming to the Masters anymore. Bernard Longer, who played

428
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 3: in his last Masters, I think it was last year,

429
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: was his last Masters, and they asked him, they said,

430
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: or he said, he asked someone at Augusta. He said, well,

431
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: when do I stop showing up? And they go, you'll know,

432
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: and he's right, he knew. He finally said, I can't

433
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: do this anymore. Everybody else the kids are hitting eight

434
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: irons into the green that I'm hitting hybrids.

435
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 4: It's just not going to work, you know.

436
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: So here's what it was.

437
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: It says the stat on Live from that was dating

438
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: back to twenty twelve, all major winners that average world

439
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: ranking is fifteenth. I didn't mean just that Augusta. No,

440
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: I know, more ranking is fifteen. Chambly was saying, how

441
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: no one really comes out of nowhere like Ben Curtis

442
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: anymore to win a major. Yeah. If I said I

443
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: meant world ranking fifteenth, not just that Augusta.

444
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 4: I meant just is at Augusta.

445
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: Oh, since twenty twelve, I guess it is all major Oh.

446
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 3: He says all major winners average ranking feet from the

447
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 3: world or you know it's fifteenth, are better for all.

448
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: The majors, not just agguskins. That's what he means. So

449
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 4: when I see what Ed's saying.

450
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: So it is it's your better play or the cream

451
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: rises to the croft or to the top.

452
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: There's no doubt a break.

453
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: We'll come back, touch on a tumble of a couple

454
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: of other topics, and then welcome Rosen in the conversation

455
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:24,520

00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm back the side of it. Michael Wad was

462
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: a long way away. Can you tell us about the

463
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,520

Speaker 4: Tell me?

467
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 3: You have on to handicap the game, break it down

468
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: a little bit while I rummage around.

469
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: In my life.

470
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: AKA, you don't know what to talk about for the

471
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: next couple of minutes, You're gonna throw it towards me

472
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: until you get settled in and get your food already.

473
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: It's the food exactly.

474
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

475
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: They played the Seattle Crack in tonight seven o'clock. Ex

476
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 2: excuse me, Grand Casino Arena.

477
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: I do know.

478
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: John Hines, the head coach, was on with Paul Allen

479
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: earlier today where he revealed that yes, per Valstad would

480
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: be your starting goalie tonight. Pia did ask him about

481
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: goalie rotation in the playoffs and he didn't really dive

482
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 2: into any any grand conclusions on that and was very

483
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: coach speak political talk. So, uh, that could be interesting

484
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: moving forward to see maybe they might go Valstead over

485
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 2: Gus person. I doubt it and maybe he's just speaking

486
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: that way. But other than that, Bobby Brink is back

487
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: in the lineup tonight. Nick Felino out, so there's kind

488
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: of this battle for the twelve forward spot to see

489
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: which one will not be sitting in the press boxer

490
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: game one, and Bobby Brink is I think in that conversation,

491
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: so I'm sure Bobby, you'll be ready to go tonight.

492
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 3: When you talk about coach speak with the goalie stuff,

493
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 3: is that try not to tip your hand other teams

494
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 3: or do you think he legitimately doesn't know? I mean,

495
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: because doesn't really matter. I mean, you know a lot

496
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: of times teams will try to not you know, tip

497
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: their hand on their starting lineup or whatever. But I mean,

498
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: if you're Dallas, you know both goalies would your strategy

499
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: change us. Oh no, it's valse dead we better play

500
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: this way, or it's it's Gustafson. Is there really any

501
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: advantage to knowing who the starting goaltender is going to

502
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 3: be prior to I.

503
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Think in certain situations.

504
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: I mean, let's face the Dallas Stars are going to

505
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: do their homework on both goalies, right, It's not like

506
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: it's not like we're only studying up on Philip Gustison

507
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: and then all all of a sudden, Vall SAIDs in

508
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: and we got nothing on him. We just have a

509
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: blank piece of paper. So they're putting in the work.

510
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 2: It's probably partially games and ship. It's also I guess

511
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: if you're in John Hines's case, right, I'm sure John

512
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 2: Hines knows who is Game one lineup is. In general,

513
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure they put thought into it, but it doesn't

514
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: do you any good to reveal it five games before

515
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: when things can change up until that point, right, Why

516
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: come out and say Philip Gustison is our number one goalie,

517
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: we believe in him, we have full confidence in him.

518
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: And then what if it gets hurt in the next

519
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: week or two and you're going to Voll said anyways,

520
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: and doesn't do you any good to come out and

521
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: name a starter when that could change. And probably the

522
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 2: same thing with the lineup. I'm they have a good

523
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: idea what they're going to do for at least the

524
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: game one lineup and how they want to approach it,

525
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: but they're not going to reveal to that to us,

526
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: and they probably won't and you probably we probably won't

527
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: even know until either morning skate before game one or.

528
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Warm ups before the game begins.

529
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 4: Really mystery.

530
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: Well that's the way they are.

531
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just the way it works, I guess in

532
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 3: the National Hockey League.

533
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: And I guess that makes sense, especially from a line

534
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: combination standpoint because Dallas's well, as of right now, Dallas

535
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: is the home team and we'll have the lineup it,

536
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: we'll have the decisions to make on face offs what

537
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: lines go out there, so it would be a little

538
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 2: bit easier to prep for that ahead of time.

539
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: I noticed teneb as I was looking at after last

540
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: night's victory by Michigan.

541
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 4: In the uh in the Natty.

542
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: It was the Michigan's second national championship men's basketball team.

543
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: I think the first one was in two thousand or

544
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: two thousand and two. I don't recall exactly for Michigan. Yeah,

545
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 3: for me, no, I thought it was like nineteen eighty nine.

546
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 4: Was it that one? Yeah? Okay? Is that long? Okay?

547
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 3: National champions for football, Indiana, National champion for the women's basketball,

548
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 3: UCLA Club, Big eighteen school wrestling, I think Big ten school,

549
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: Big eighteen school one? And are we are we down

550
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: of the final four in hockey? Yeah, frozen four begins

551
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: two days from now. Uh, Michigan and SCANNIE are both

552
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: in now. It's University of Minnesota Duluth. Who's the fourth club?

553
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: By the way, Penn State won the wrestling championships.

554
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: State won the wrestling title.

555
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: Okay, what was the question? Just asked?

556
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: Wisconsin, Michigan, UMD, and who else?

557
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: North Dakota. Yeah, it's not UMD, it's Denver, North.

558
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: Coasta, Denver. I'm sorry, Denver, North Dakota. So again, we're

559
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: not guaranteed anything. Move you got a fifty chance. Are

560
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: we at the point where the Big eighteen is the

561
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: dominant conference in sports right now?

562
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: I asked you that in five questions like a week ago.

563
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 4: Well, then you were.

564
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: But it is kind of cheating because they've basically just

565
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: consolidated with another conference and said, hey, let's take your

566
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: five best schools and bring them over here.

567
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ore again, UCLA, USC and whoever else.

568
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: Wash Washington at Washington. Yeah, I guess you did ask

569
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 3: me that question. But it's now coming to fruition after

570
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: the wins by the men and the women in the

571
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: basketball and now it could be for hockey as well.

572
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: And it's mostly bizarre to see it in football because

573
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: SEC has been the dominant football conference for the longest time. Correct,

574
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: and even baseball and now for baseball, it's kind of

575
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: cheating because we now have California teams in our conference.

576
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: But historically, like Big Ten baseball because it's mostly in

577
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: colder weather climates, has not been not been very good.

578
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: But now we have the number one team of the

579
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: nation in UCLA for baseball. Oh really, yes, Well, what's

580
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: like I said, it's cheating because we had to go

581
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: to California and grab some new teams to the California

582
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: dabbronis let's face it, like Iowa is not going to

583
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: be a number one in baseball.

584
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's not a strong baseball conference typically.

585
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: I saw another story that I thought would raise some

586
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: interesting issues.

587
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 4: There. Did it go. It was CBS Sports. I think

588
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: it was one of the list stories that I like, though.

589
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm telling you this, the mock draft stuff is it's

590
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: out of control. You scroll down on CBS Sports their

591
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: website dots sports dot com, like their first ten or

592
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: twelve stories are different versions of mock drafts, different writers

593
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: doing them. Well you didn't you just have the one

594
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: where it was the all trade mock draft.

595
00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 4: We just talked about that, and in five three four.

596
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: There's even another one that says, forget draft picks, contenders

597
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: should trade for these NFL stars and then it has

598
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: the guys starting to try to guess on what team

599
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: should trade for what current players, and it's like, I mean,

600
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: I know, it's it's it's it's harmless. It's basically just

601
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: something to bide your time with.

602
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: But it's we've talked about this so often.

603
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: That's why we do the mocking the mock draft is

604
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: that because it just it gets to the point where

605
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: it really doesn't make any sense because no, all it

606
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: takes is one trade, one trade, or one general manager

607
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: throwing everybody for a loop and drafting someone that or

608
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: you know that that's most people don't have ranked high

609
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: as some other teams do, and all of a sudden,

610
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, the whole draft mock draft is completely

611
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: blows up in somebody's face. This was the one I

612
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: was looking for. You know, I'm a big power rankings guy,

613
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 3: and I was looking for the latest power rankings in

614
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: the In the NBA, as you would expect, the Thunder

615
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: and the Spurs are both one to two. After that

616
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 3: you have the Pistons, Celtics at four, Nuggets at five.

617
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: Those are all in the top tier. Second tier is

618
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 3: the good place to be. The Rockets at six, the

619
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 3: Calves at seven, the Hornets at eight, the Knickerbockers at nine,

620
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Hawks at ten.

621
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 4: The Wolves have tumbled out.

622
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: Of Tier two and are now in Tier three, which

623
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: includes the LA Lakers. And I think mostly for the Lakers,

624
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: it's because with don chic and did you say Reeve

625
00:32:59,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: is also.

626
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: Some reasons up for the years don chich is still

627
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: possible for the playoffs.

628
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: But and then the Timberwolves at thirteen. Here's what it says.

629
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: Minnesota still doesn't clinch the top six seed. It likely will,

630
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: but we were right to keep the Timberwolves out of

631
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: the top of the West when predicting their season, this

632
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: is the very beginning of the year. He's they had

633
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 3: predicted them to be a playing team. At the beginning

634
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: of the year, we said we weren't sure Anthony Edwards

635
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: is going to have enough help offensively, And.

636
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 4: Here the Timberwolves are in the middle of the rankings offensively.

637
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: Nothing will surprise us with what happens to Minnesota in

638
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs. The Timberwolves could make a run and it

639
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't shock us, but neither would their first early eggs

640
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: in three years, especially considering the difficult timing of Jaden

641
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 3: McDaniel's knee woes.

642
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: And I'm also not convinced.

643
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 3: That that Edwards is going to be at one, that

644
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: he also has an issue with his knee. And you know,

645
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: I made the comparison, I think yesterday to the Lion

646
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: situation when they went to the NFC Championship game and

647
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: they got back the next year to the playoffs. We're

648
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: fifteen and two and then got beat by Washington, and

649
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: then last year they didn't make the playoffs, finish dead last.

650
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 4: And you know, you hope that windows open.

651
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: For a long time and the Wolves could win off

652
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 3: game rought off and wins I mean, sure they could,

653
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: but you start to think now, especially with McDaniels. You know,

654
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: the Wolves are saying that we think he could be

655
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 3: ready for the playoffs. Well, Willie, how effective is Edwards?

656
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: He sat out for six games, came back and then

657
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 3: they said he was sick, and he sat out another game,

658
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: and I was playing again. Their their opportunity may have

659
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: went passed them by when they lost and back to

660
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: back Western Conference finals. It just it could be over

661
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: because I we keep hoping that they can flip it

662
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: like a switch and all of a sudden it will

663
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: start to come together. But some of the things you

664
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: hear out of the locker room, some of the quotes

665
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: as of late, I don't I don't hear a lot

666
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: of you know, words are cheap anyways, right, you know,

667
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 3: talk as cheap as they say. It's a But I

668
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 3: don't hear a lot of well, we're fine, don't worry,

669
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna I don't feel like I feel I don't

670
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 3: like the vibe coming out of out of the bullseye

671
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: right now.

672
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 4: I don't know about you.

673
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: It's hard when it's health related. You know, they keep

674
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 2: telling us Jane McDaniels will be fine, come playoffs, but

675
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 2: we're probably not going to see him until the playoffs.

676
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: And even if he's playing, that doesn't mean to one

677
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 2: hundred percent healthy. So what what effectiveness are you getting

678
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: out of him? And to seemingly been hurt all year long.

679
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: I know he's played a decent amount of games, but

680
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: it seems like he's been battling something NonStop, and clearly

681
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: this team needs both of them. If one of them

682
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: is out, it's hard to believe you're going to take

683
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: down the Denver Nuggets in a in a playoff series.

684
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: If fully healthy, that's gonna be a tough mountain to climb,

685
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: just because the Joki is so good. So it's always

686
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: hard to evaluate an unhealthy team because we are not

687
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: pretty to the same information the team is regarding its players.

688
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: But just because they tell you, hey, these guys are

689
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: going to be ready to go, doesn't going to be

690
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: mean they're like one good to go. That just means

691
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: they might be playing in the lineup, so they're effective.

692
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: Nice even if they're in the lineup might not be

693
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 2: the same and there might be some rust coming back too.

694
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 3: Yes, and then the matchup problem, big problem. It's uh yeah,

695
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: I don't. I have to admit I don't like their

696
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: chance as much. Now, speaking of power rankings, Tennemy, there's

697
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: a team that's on the rise in the power rankings,

698
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 3: and that's your Minnesota Twins. Well they are, they were

699
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: last week, they were ranked twenty six.

700
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: And now they're they're twenty five. The rank twenty five,

701
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: the right twenty five?

702
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: Who drop alone?

703
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 3: That's the call him in awaiting my whole life for him.

704
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: Athletics plummeted a couple of spots too. Here's what it says.

705
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: They have their early difference makers listed for every team,

706
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 3: and as you might expect, it's Toads Bradley because this was.

707
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 4: The kid we acquired him. Was that the Duran trade?

708
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 4: Is that where we got him.

709
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: He was acquired and I think in one of those

710
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: fire sale trades last year, and he.

711
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 4: Was really good. He's been really good for the Twins

712
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: so far.

713
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: He was traded for Griffin Jacks.

714
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 4: Griffin Jacks, that's right for Griffin Jacks. Gryffin Jacks. Here's

715
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 4: what it says.

716
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 3: After struggling through his first six starts as a Twin,

717
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 3: following a deadline trade from Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay Bradley

718
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: has allowed just one run through his first ten and

719
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 3: a third innings starts of twenty twenty six. Early small

720
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: sample size, but nonetheless it's encouraging. He's averaging ninety seven

721
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 3: point three miles per hour on his fastball, up from

722
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 3: ninety six point two a season ago, and even flashed

723
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 3: triple digits in his last start. That early season heat

724
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: has led him to the top of the Twins leader

725
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 3: board for fastest pitches thrown by starters in the pitch

726
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: tracking era started in two thousand and eight, and boy

727
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: do I like the pitch tracking era.

728
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: His late decision to pull.

729
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: Out from Team Mexico in the WBC to focus on

730
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: the season has seemingly paid off for a Twins team

731
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: deep into a rebuild mode, deep into a rebuild.

732
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 4: Mode, and you know, going into the.

733
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 3: Season, when we did the fire sale and this and

734
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: that the other thing, and is oh, well, pitching staff

735
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: is going to be really the only thing that we're

736
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 3: going to have. If you really want to believe the

737
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: Twins would have a chance to at least make it interesting,

738
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: you know, kind of hang around, maybe even contend in

739
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: the division. Would be that way, You're going to have

740
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: to get really the starting staff is going to have

741
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 3: to be the strength of the team.

742
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: And it looked like and on.

743
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 3: Paper Lopez, Joe Ryan and over and then Simeon Woods,

744
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: Richardson has he had a nice start the other day

745
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 3: and had some other young arms right theah, the David

746
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 3: Festas of the world.

747
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 4: Who's the other young.

748
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: Guy that we like, the festus As of the world,

749
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: and the other kid I can't recall his name. But

750
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: then Lopez out for the year with with with the

751
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 3: Tommy John surgery. And then so now you're thinking, I mean,

752
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: once he was eliminated, I thought they're not going to

753
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: win fifty games. But then Taj Bradley, Now, well it's

754
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 3: a it's a small sample size, but so.

755
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 4: You just think.

756
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: And so think if and it's a big because Lopez

757
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: ain't he's not coming back until next year.

758
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 4: But if he would not have been hurt, you would

759
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: at least.

760
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 3: Say, again, well, if the pitching staff does stay healthy

761
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: and pitches like they're capable of, maybe you win a

762
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 3: bunch of two to one ball games, three two games

763
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: for two games, you know. And then but because I

764
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 3: don't think the offense is now, yes, last night that

765
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: we talked about it that the top three in the

766
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: lineup were very efficient yesterday, but I don't think that's

767
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: going to be the strength of their club. And I

768
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: don't know the starting staff. It's probably because the bullpen

769
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: hasn't helped particularly much here, but it's it's unfortunate that

770
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: that Lopez had to have the arm injury, because at

771
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 3: least there you would go, well, you know, look at Timmy.

772
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 4: You know what, pitching and defense even in baseball is

773
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 4: really really efficient. That really that can win you a

774
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 4: lot of ball games.

775
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: But I just our defense hasn't been very good, that's

776
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: for sure. But Taj I mentioned this with Max on

777
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: Friday during the ten offense. Gheriald that Taj Bradley, when

778
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: you hit one hundred, and like you said, it's the

779
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: fastest pitch they've a Twins starter has thrown in the

780
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: pitch Trek era, and I just said, it's the fastest

781
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: starters everything in franchise history, because at least since I've

782
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: been born, I don't ever remember a Twins starter being

783
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: able to throw it that much heat, and I doubt

784
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 2: they were thrown like that in the sixties and seventies.

785
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: No, I'm just gonna go.

786
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: Ahead and say even pre pitch trackings Era's he throws

787
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: the hardest we've ever had.

788
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: The only guy would Dram but he was a reliever,

789
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 3: but didn't he hit one hundred every one. So yeah,

790
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 3: this is just for starters, right, But I mean so yeah,

791
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 3: but that's usually starters don't throw a hunter because they're

792
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 3: trying to pace themselves a little bit over.

793
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully six seven eutes next, that is correct.

794
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: So anyway, Legendary One, why can't wait to pick his brain?
