17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,080

00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 3: All sorts of our clients. Oh, they all care about

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have shown up.

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: You're you're a lake game. My teeth were in the chart. Actually,

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: I went to bed after Quinn Hughes's electrified. Go you

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: know what this just in he can play a little.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: Oh goodness. Yeah, he's uh, he's special. We knew he

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: was special. We didn't really know because unless you watch

26
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: Vancouver Canuck Hockey would but I I mean we and

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: they were you know, I never heard him until he.

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: At him.

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's uh, he's fitting quite well with the Rock

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: favor and everyone else on that team. And my goodness,

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: he's got As I said I mentioned before, and I

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: know it's an old school and it might be a

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: preposterous statement, but he has a lot of Bobby Or

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: to him in terms of the way he controls the

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: game and the way it's impossible for him for people

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 4: to knock him off the puck. And obviously his offensive ability,

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: which Or was without peer, without peer. Yeah, I mean,

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: but but Quinn is just a different player. He's just

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: a different style and he's so fun to watch the way,

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: you know, he's like he's a point guy, point guard

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: out there. I heard the end game interview as a Cooper,

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: the coach of Tampa Bay.

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay.

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: That was a great interview, wasn't it. Yeah, he just

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: usually those coach interviews are the worst. He nothing, he

46
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: was great.

47
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: He was terrific. I think I asked him about quit good,

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: what was it?

49
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: How to go?

50
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Well, he just sort of struggled.

51
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't like coach speach cliches stuff. He didn't look

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: miserable to be there.

53
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: No, he exactly, and he knew they were you know, listen,

54
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: this was a great matchup, two teams with eighty points.

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: And then the reporter asked him about Quinn Hughes and

56
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 4: he just kind of shrugged his shoulders and how do

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: you how do you defend him? How do you stop him?

58
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: And he goes you kind of just don't. He plays

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 4: his game and you have to hope that you kind

60
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: of get in his way. Uh, And he was, yeah,

61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: it was kind of a refreshing.

62
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: He was asked about the matchup between the two teams, right,

63
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: you know, and at the time they were like through

64
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: the first period and he's like, well, if I keep

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: playing this way, we're gonna get blown out of the building.

66
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: Correct, He did say that, yeah, uh he is. So

67
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: he has a couple of cups on his in his belt, right.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yeah, so he's he's got nothing to worry

69
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 4: about right now. But yeah, entertaining, I'm glad you enjoyed it,

70
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: did you leave after the three goal lead.

71
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Well, no, we you know, we stayed.

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: It got to four to one, and then I looked

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: at the deuce and I said, I know, we set

74
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: a three goal lead at the end of two. He said,

75
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: let's stay until like eight, eight or ten minutes. Okay, well,

76
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: then they wouldn't blow whistle.

77
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not. Now I'm starting to panic because it's

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: like I want to leave. So uh, I said, let's

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: just go. They're not going to blow whistle.

80
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: So we left out of the cars, zipped out and

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: I had him check the score on the phone and

82
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: it was you know, I said, let me guess, it's

83
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: four to three, and now they've got they got a

84
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: six on five because they've dumped the goalie they're about

85
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: to tie the game, and goes, no, it's five to one.

86
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: And then we found it.

87
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: We didn't get to see the franchise most goals scored

88
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: by an individual player in franchise.

89
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Yes, you got to be kidding me. The netter So.

90
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, as you talked about earlier, I'm say

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: it's anti climatic, but it nice to see a classic

92
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: Carill goal. But it really it's a moot point because

93
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: he would have the next game, the next game he

94
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: would have broken the record, and they had the video.

95
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: Uh uh, kudos from Mary and Gabrick all set to go,

96
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's happened pretty quickly for that young man.

97
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a nice, nice victory again and

98
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: they I can't believe I saw that record Tenant. The

99
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: Wilds record at home in particular against Tampa Bay is

100
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: like sixteen and three or something.

101
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: We've always done well against Tampa Bay, even though they've

102
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: been great throughout that entire stretch. Yeah, it's been a

103
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: good matchup for us, just like we we do great

104
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: against the Edmonton.

105
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, but now we need to do great against Colorado

106
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: or Dallas. That's well, there's that. There's those are the

107
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 4: teams they got to We've.

108
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: Had some playoffs, serious success goesst Colorado.

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: They have no meeting them twice.

110
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I know it's and I don't think

111
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: it's it's unique to this market, but it almost seems like.

112
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: It we always, well, we go to it. Why why

113
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: doesn't Colorado have to worry about us? They should? Year

114
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: they should? Yeah, I think they do.

115
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: You know, there's we always and I know it's we

116
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: always think the sky is falling. It always happens to

117
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: Minnesota because I guess it always has happened a minutes.

118
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: So we have the two World Series championships and of

119
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: the major men's four, we have nothing else. We have

120
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: some you know, Vikings were in the big game four times.

121
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: They've been NFC championship games.

122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: The Wild went to one. You know, the Stars went

123
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: to was it one finals?

124
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: They got to two finals, they got to We know

125
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: that the Wolves have been the Western Conference finals, but

126
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: we've never won the whole thing.

127
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: So I guess it is that idea.

128
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: But this team is I mean again, I'm far be

129
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: it from me to be the hockey judge, but that

130
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: team looked really good last night. I mean they I

131
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: know that Tampa Bay early on had some really good

132
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: chances and outshot the Wild, but you know August was

133
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: was was big time and then they just that team

134
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: can flat up.

135
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Well.

136
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: Well, this team, as they say, you like one of

137
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: your favorite terms, it's built different. I mean, I think

138
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: we're singing Bill Garrett has been able to do it now.

139
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: They they brought in a behemoth from Nashville to add

140
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: more physical prowess to their to their team six foot six,

141
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: and you know, whether he stays here or not, and

142
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: there's still time to make another move by Friday, and

143
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: that's certainly a possibility that this team may make another

144
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 4: bigger move leading into that. But in the meantime, yeah,

145
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 4: I'm getting brodein back, big plus and their defenseman are

146
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: as good as it gets in the NHL, I think

147
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: right now. So yeah, it was nice, nice, enthusiastic winless now,

148
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: I watched it after the Wolves game, and like I said,

149
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: after Quinn's score.

150
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: That was you like this Wolves club, don't you? Well?

151
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: I like, listen, what happened last night was what I

152
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: kind of expected. They had their usual first half malaise

153
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 4: against you know, a team that they should dominate and Memphis,

154
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: you know, playing a bunch of guys that are just

155
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: happy to be out there in Hungary. You know, had

156
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: an early lead, you know, had ten, twelve point lead,

157
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: and then the Wolves clamped down. And I mentioned yesterday

158
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: they were going to dominate the boards, the Wolves, and

159
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: they did.

160
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: They'll read about it.

161
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: I'm fifty two to twenty thirty three, I think it was.

162
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: And then Edwards just lit it up in the fourth quarter.

163
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: I mean, he just couldn't miss. He was just psychotic

164
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: from everywhere, and they put him away and then you know,

165
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: get Memphis credit. They've made it a little closer than

166
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: you know, probably the Wolves wanted it to be at

167
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: the end, but it was pretty much wrapped up by then.

168
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 4: So you know, again one of those games that you

169
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: just kind of know it's going to look like this,

170
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 4: and then but Aunt gave them, uh you know that

171
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: that spurt that you know only Aunt can do. Right now,

172
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: especially even even on the defensive end, he had a

173
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: spectacular block. Uh turned into it, I think another three

174
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: pointer and ran A pumped him twenty three and uh

175
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: docent MoU had fourteen.

176
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: I like him along Dawson Moo. I don't I don't know.

177
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've not seen him plays Muka. He's

178
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he's been.

179
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: That's been a really good acquisition, uh for them up

180
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the pace, along with Bones Highland.

181
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: But you know, now as you had it off night

182
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: and you know those things, did I even need to say,

183
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him play yet. I know you did not.

184
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I will see what's playoffs start. I'm a playoff guy.

185
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I know you are.

186
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: I'll do because because then to me, there's more intense

187
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: and urgency and teams I can't blame it, turn it,

188
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: turn it up, especially I think.

189
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: In the NBA more than any sport. Yeah I really did.

190
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I guess hockey two gets real intense, but yeah, the

191
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: NH hockey definitely does.

192
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's both teams are kind of on that

193
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: same path right now where you know, it's matter what

194
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: the Wolves are going to be. You know, probably third

195
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: or fourth. Uh, the Wild will be probably second or third,

196
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: and you know, onward and upward to go. I don't

197
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 4: think the whole ice is going to mean a whole

198
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: heck of a lot in the NHL for the Wild.

199
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: I think they played well on the road and sort

200
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: of the Wolves, so you know that's they got a

201
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 4: month to go.

202
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: We got the one thing with the home tennebe.

203
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: You have to explain this to me again. You know,

204
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: I know the people out there to says, you work

205
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: at the all sports station. How do you not know

206
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: the most elementary of rules. But you get the last

207
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: decision on shift change or something.

208
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: If there's a whistle, if there's teams are making line changes,

209
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: the road team has to put their line out first.

210
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: Then you can match lines if you're the home team,

211
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: I see what's when you you know, when you're playing

212
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: up against Nathan McKinnon in a series, like you, you'd

213
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: rather have the change to put your top defenseman out there,

214
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: in your top checking center out there, and.

215
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: So and so.

216
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: Then you know, I know, any team can win on

217
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: any on it. You know, the home team wins a

218
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: lot of visiting team wins a lot. How big of

219
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: an advantage can that be?

220
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: As? Can that be game changing? Do you think in

221
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: some cases or say, well, no, you know, sometimes it's

222
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: good for hockey. Yeah, I think it's very little, very little.

223
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: I'd rather be at home rather think it's just a slight,

224
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: slight advantage. It can be easily overcome. Very good, let's

225
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: do this, let's take a break several.

226
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: Probably sometimes they feel more pressure at home because you

227
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: have people going shoot.

228
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: A couple of times. On the road, they don't do that,

229
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: so you can just do it. You have a three?

230
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Are you thinking mine?

231
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: I yelled shoot shoot a couple of times last night,

232
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: and I liked it. It was fun to just yell

233
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 3: at the game. Though I must have admitted I was

234
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: one of those guys that people hate.

235
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: I was. I was I was reading while I was

236
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: reading my phone, I was reading.

237
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: I was catching up on news stories, you know, because

238
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 3: it's like but it was.

239
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: It was fun. They're a hell of the team. We'll break,

240
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: we'll come back with more with common Tannaby and Mark

241
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: Rols and here in the fans.

242
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,640

Speaker 2: next Tuesday.

245
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: Just use the iHeartRadio.

246
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: Have to send us a talk back and tell us

247
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: who are your five untouchable players on the wild currently

248
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: hit the full details of kifan dot com keyboard contest Tenneby.

249
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: I didn't notice a final score, but I do know

250
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: that hitby Chisholm eliminated Dodge County earlier in LA. Right now,

251
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: mot to Meat I and UH Saint Cloud Cathedral are

252
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: zero zero, about a minute to go one oh sixty

253
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: in the first period.

254
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: It's a Class A quarter final action.

255
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: Down at the X. Actually it's a slot machine Greg

256
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: Casino Arena. And then uh two more games today, right,

257
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 3: and then they go to the double A stuff to

258
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: move tomorrow and double lay tomorrow.

259
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: This it was announced yesterday.

260
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: Everybody expected it, but apparently Kyler Murray, uh, current Cardinals

261
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: quarterback about to be ex Cardinals quarterback.

262
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: They ever said to him they're going to release him.

263
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: Tennebe and I were talking about, you know, it seems

264
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: like any quarterback out there that's either gonna be a

265
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: free agent or might be on the trademarks connected with

266
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: the Vikings in one way shape.

267
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: Or for him could be Vikings good.

268
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: You know, and and and you know, as as you

269
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: bounce the names around, I know the Murray. You know,

270
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: he had a great rookie year. The next couple of

271
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 3: years they were okay and then that, so you know,

272
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: he's that's why they're they're partying ways with him because

273
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: he just hasn't lived up to the expectations. But you know,

274
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: if you believe, I don't call him quarterback whisper anymore.

275
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: I call him quarterback muttering under his breath. Guy, why

276
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: can't he throw across the middle? Why why can't he

277
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: align his feet?

278
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: And in his eyes?

279
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: Why can't he he he, uh, stay healthy. I wouldn't

280
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: mind Murray, I guess to be honest, you know. And again,

281
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: as you know, like Tannabe says, Murray probably not gonna

282
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: want to come unless he's guaranteed a starting job.

283
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: I hate doing that.

284
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: I hate telling a guy you're in, because it's like, well,

285
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: if you're not in, you're not in. What if you're awful?

286
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: What if?

287
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: What if you're awful during preseason? You're first gonna because

288
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: you do I still think you want to hopefully maybe

289
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 3: see something about McCarthy or maybe you're so far it

290
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: could be, you know, because it all depends if you

291
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: think how much time do I have to win games?

292
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: And what's our window and all that, and if you're

293
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: thinking playing McCarthy, if it's not any good, we could

294
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: lose another year or two. But of the names out there,

295
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: I guess what I'm trying to say is I wouldn't

296
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: mind them. That'd be the one to be most interesting

297
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: because you can get them cheap. What about you if

298
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: you're well? I said that yesterday too.

299
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: He's the one that kind of at least gets the

300
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 4: adrenaline going a little bit, even with his you know, shortcomings.

301
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: Part of the pun.

302
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 4: That he has more of electricity to him and gamesmanship

303
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: than certainly I think a geno Smith does at his age,

304
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: and all the other quarterbacks that are kind of out

305
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: there that you know, the Kirk Cousins and your guy

306
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: A roj. You know, I just think that there's a

307
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: there's a lot of steam about Murray's name right now,

308
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: but there's so much stuff that's floating around out there,

309
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: even to the point of I've seen a couple of

310
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: reports and reporters I'm saying they're the Ian Rappaports of

311
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 4: the world or the Florios, et cetera, et cetera, that

312
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: are saying, well, the Vikings are done with McCarthy. I mean,

313
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: that could not be further from the truth. I don't

314
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: see that based on what and what he's doing right

315
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: now working out on the West Coast. It's still to

316
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: me comes down to whether it's Kyle Murray or Gino

317
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: Smith or whomever the Vikings bring in. If JJ McCarthy

318
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: doesn't make a quantum leap this year, both from a

319
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: from a standpoint of his playing ability and his durability,

320
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 4: and this is going to be looked upon as just

321
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: a big colossal failure for the entire Vikings organization that

322
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: they finally get themselves a chance to draft a so

323
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: called frances quarterback and if he doesn't work out this year,

324
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 4: after you know, the injuries, and then you know, not

325
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: the inactivity and the ineffectiveness, and you know, et cetera,

326
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: et cetera. That you know, I'm not saying it's something

327
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: they can't overcome. Obviously, we saw Seattle go ahead and

328
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: sign our guy and win a Super Bowl. And that's

329
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 4: not to say that Kyler Murray, I don't think. The

330
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: only thing I will say is I don't think Kyler

331
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 4: Murray is gonna sure have to be assured of getting

332
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: a starting job. He's going to be able to compete

333
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: for the job, but he's not gonna KOC or anyone

334
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 4: else is not going to say this is the job

335
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: is yours.

336
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: That's that's really that's preposterous. Uh.

337
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: And when if he signs next Monday or Tuesday or

338
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: agrees to terms here, it's just not happening that way,

339
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: unless the Vikings are gonna pull a big shocker and

340
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: decide to change trade J. J. McCarthy, which I don't

341
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: see happening at all, you know, ten games into his career.

342
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean I think that you know, there's

343
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: a lot of conversation, and rightfully so, about the kind

344
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: of quarterback the Vikings want to bring in. And I

345
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: think it's definitely gonna be an upgrade over the Carson

346
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: Wentzes of the world. Kyler Murray does seem to fit,

347
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: you know, especially on this type of team. He's got

348
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: a defense which he's never really had in Arizona, you know,

349
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: and you know, he's got playmaking ability, and he's got

350
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: you know, definitely some stuff that hasn't worked out for him.

351
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: But I think with minnesota'll probably give him and I

352
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: you know, based on basically what he has said is

353
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: that I think the Vikings are his number one pick.

354
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: And it's the salary part of It's irrelevant in terms of,

355
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: you know, the money that the Vikings have to pay him.

356
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: It's just not not much, so they can get him

357
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: for cheap. And I would be surprised, I guess at

358
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 4: this point unless the Vikings have a different method and

359
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: looking at Gino Smith or Kirk Cousins to say we'd

360
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: rather go with that guy. I just think there's more

361
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: upside with a more unknown with with Kyler Murray, and

362
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: I would be surprised that they don't bring him in

363
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: next week.

364
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: Did you and I talk about the Grenard thing.

365
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: We did a little bit, not a lot, you know that, Yeah,

366
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: The rumors are that, you know, the Vikings might be

367
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: willing to trade him because he makes a lot of money.

368
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: He's a good player. I mean, he's really good. He's

369
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: been he's been a main cog on the on the

370
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: defense end. But you know, when you when you do

371
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: have the salary cap, you got to they got a

372
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: pair a salary and I guess they say duplicitous if

373
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: that's the right word that they you know, they they

374
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: they have they have a little depth a's position. They

375
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: Dallas Turner did make some strides this year, you know,

376
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: after his you know, or you know, after he was

377
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: for you know, they moved up to seventeen to get him,

378
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: and he wasn't right.

379
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: There were some real question marks.

380
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: Amount of me is better, So maybe they just figure

381
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: Turner's ready to take that next step and then if

382
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: they can get something for Gernard and save some money,

383
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: maybe that's a decision.

384
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 4: Well, you said he's making good money, but he's not

385
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: making no top notch defensive end money, that's for sure.

386
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: And he's had some injuries, but yeah, a lot of

387
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: these guys go through that.

388
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: For the most part, he's been a very good performer

389
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: on this football team, and I don't want to see

390
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: him go. I certainly don't want to, you know, give

391
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: up necessarily just get a four thrown draft pick for

392
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: Jonathan Grenard and then because what that does then too,

393
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 4: is that really looking your depth chart, you say, well,

394
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: that's great, So and so stays on the team, and

395
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 4: they're going to pay Jalen Redmond, They're going to play

396
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: pay Eric Wilson. You know a lot of these guys

397
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: are going to be back with this team, but then

398
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: this just in. You know they're going to be injuries,

399
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: and so now you've got to protect yourself and who's

400
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: going to be the other guy? I mean, when having

401
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: Jonathan Grenard and Dallas turned around, the team has given

402
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: them some extra depth in that that department. Now, if

403
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 4: if Grenard has gone and then if they end up

404
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: trading him for a you know, a draft pick, uh,

405
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 4: you know, it does limit you a little bit more

406
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: at that position. So you know, it's and they very

407
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: well end up still and may end up working out

408
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: a deal with with him. I think that that's I

409
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: think that's a focus for them. I'd like to see that,

410
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 4: see them do that, but you know every team doesn't.

411
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 4: I mean, we saw today there was one.

412
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: Again, they can't have seen his contract laying around on

413
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: your kitchen, not no car and handles the coaches. Yea.

414
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: The Rams traded for Trent McDuffie, the defensive back from

415
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: Kansas City, give up their number one draft pick, and

416
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: that again can't be officially announced till next week when

417
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: the NFL always open for business. But interesting move for

418
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 4: the Rams, and you know, you know, and then they're

419
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 4: playing the Super Bowl and then they mentioned it they're

420
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 4: playing at their stadium next year at so FI And

421
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 4: last time they did that was when Matthew Stafford. They

422
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 4: traded for Matthew Stafford. They won the Super Bowl. So far,

423
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: so Trent McDuffie is now and will be a Ram

424
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: and they gave up their number one pick and I

425
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 4: think a fourth round pick to get him. So that's

426
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: a pretty significant move for both those teams. And then

427
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 4: this is going to start again. Stuff will get leaked out,

428
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: but you know, the real stuff will happen starting Monday.

429
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: Hold on, Yeah, Oh, Max Crosby.

430
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 3: Yes, Bears wantly called out by Colin Coward, I mean

431
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: Max Crosby, traders called out.

432
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Well. It says the Bears considered a.

433
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: Team, and he's saying and others are saying that they

434
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: should go and get him at all costs. Coward says

435
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: that some other people that you know follow the league,

436
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: you know, national type names. I think that's what the

437
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 3: Bears ought to do and aren't going to do. It's

438
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: hard not to want to have your team's name attached.

439
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 3: Of course Crosby, he's really he's one of the best

440
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: at that position. But we're a long way from there.

441
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: And again, what's in legal tampering?

442
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: And then it's.

443
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 4: Monday, and yeah, so that's when I think Wednesday of

444
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: the league business kicks.

445
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: Marshal eleventh, right, yeah, is what it is. It would

446
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: be interesting. So I just wanted to I just wanted

447

Speaker 1: to hit the breaking new something.

00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: man as we'll name every team in the league.

468
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 2: Well, all you're looking for to Stefan Diggs is going

469
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: to be released by the New England Patriots. Oh really,

470
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: DIGSI will bring him back home. Let's get the band

471
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: back together. Diggsie has gone through.

472
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: Have much left? How old is you? Didn't have a

473
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: whole lot left? No, Well, I'll tell you what we

474
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: were just talking about it.

475
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 3: Crosby's name came up last year with Detroit because you know,

476
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 3: this isn't the first time Crosby's name has come up with,

477
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: you know, being traded, right, and the Lions problem with

478
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Hutchinson is They've never had another edge rusher on the

479
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: other side that can really do enough to free up Hutchinson.

480
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: You know, they've they've a couple of guys that are okay,

481
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: you have their moments and have some solid games or stretches.

482
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: But you know, basically, I think all teams have just said, well,

483
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 3: we'll just double hutch or chip them, and that's when

484
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: we'll take our chances. And most of us time it works.

485
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: If you paired hutch and Crosby on the same team.

486
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: Email as well, just hand the lines the Lombardo Trophy,

487
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: it's over. They're gonna win the whole thing. That's how

488
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: good they are.

489
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: The rour will have been restored. It'll be the year

490
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: of the Cat.

491
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: The only question to be answered whether it be wereing

492
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: road wide or honey, it's a big game.

493
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: No, but it would be.

494
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: I tell you, you know, when you when you can

495
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: put two of the best edge rushers on the same team,

496
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: what team wouldn't.

497
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny. I brought this quote up

498
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I just told us you off air,

499
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: they last.

500
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: Year of the guys in Detroit and Rewards Rask and

501
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: you know Campbell going you guys have been spending a

502
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 3: lot of money and what are you gonna do.

503
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: He goes, well, we'll keep spending it until we run

504
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: out any money. Money, you have to stop spending it,

505
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: And that would be formidable.

506
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 3: I wouldn't guarantee anything, but that'd be a be an

507
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: awful good football team.

508
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: Defense, oh much. That maneuvering that goes on with the

509
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 4: with the cap. And we've talked about it. Even if

510
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 4: the Vikings are over considerably over the cap at the moment, there,

511
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 4: you know, there's I just saw a story as well

512
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: that they are already mentioned Jalen Redmond. They're they're definitely

513
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: going to restructure his contract and they're going to keep

514
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 4: him and give him a nice uh bonus, et cetera,

515
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: et cetera, and make sure he's a big part of

516
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 4: this football team.

517
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, a really good season. He's a good Yeah.

518
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: And that's that's what I'm saying, that these are things

519
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: that you can work out and still doesn't affect the

520
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: cap to the point of, you know, preventing you from

521
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: signing other players. And I think there'll be other players

522
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: that aren't necessarily big names that are going to be

523
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: that the Vikings will be able to sign and be

524
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: able to let latch onto with free agency that you

525
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 4: know you're gonna go, oh wait, who's that? And but

526
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: he fits what maybe Flores wants, or a running back

527
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 4: that they can they can get their hands on, because otherwise,

528
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 4: I mean, they're gonna have to totally rely on the

529
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 4: draft to bring in.

530
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: Another running back.

531
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 4: With Jordan Mason, I don't really have anyone else at

532
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 4: the moment with the release of Aaron Jones, So that's

533
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 4: an area of concern with you know, so many other

534
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: holes to fill.

535
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: But that's that's we go through this every year. So

536
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: there's no big surprise with all of that.

537
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: Did I see where Walker Jenkins is going to be like, oh,

538
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's got is it a hammy? He's

539
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: got an issue? And he's certainly not going to start

540
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: with the big club.

541
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: Apparently there's no I don't think he was going to anyway, right,

542
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: But I mean.

543
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: There were hopes that he would play well enough that

544
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: there would he at least be concerned.

545
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what they call it here, what whatever

546
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: type of hamstring thing. And I mean this, you know,

547
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: I was obviously, you know, very high in this kid,

548
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 4: and thinking that he's got he's one of the most

549
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 4: natural hitters coming out of you know, the college ranks,

550
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: and and then but he's been beset by injuries, it

551
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: seems like, which is so typical of the twins one

552
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: one thing or another. And again it's I think he

553
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: got hurt running to got running to or running and

554
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: you just kind of shake your head. I mean, how

555
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 4: many this guy's, you know, twenty two years old whatever

556
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: he is right now? How does this stuff happen?

557
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: Again?

558
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: Overtraining? And I mean it's just basic stretching that these

559
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 4: guys doing. All the years I spent down in spring training,

560
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: I don't remember watching, you know. I remember Herbick. Herbrick

561
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 4: and Herbie and Kirby used to joke about when their

562
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: days are over, you know, the only thing they were

563
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 4: going to be lifting were six packs of beer, right,

564
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, And and as far as staying in shape

565
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: and getting in shape, but those.

566
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: Guys played and they played in herbs and now kept

567
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: that promise. What's that? I think Herbick has kept that promise.

568
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well, I think he's had some health issues

569
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: as well, you know, yeah, I think he had a

570
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: little bit. But I think he's doing okay right now,

571
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: but we all know what unfortunately and sayd they happened

572
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: to Kirby. But but the point of matter is you

573
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: go down the lineup and for those teams, not just

574
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: the World Series teams in ninety one and even the

575
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: ones you know when they won, you know, divisional championship

576
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: after divisional championship, and you go through those lineups, you

577
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 4: recall many of those guys being out for extended periods

578
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 4: of time with hamstring or you know, arm injuries or

579
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: whatever it might be. And now it's just there's an

580
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 4: epidemic of these sorts of things that go on that

581
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 4: are you know, not the Pablo Lopez thing, but you

582
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: know there's Buckston or Royce Lewis and now is Walker

583
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: Jenkins and it's pulling muscles and doing It's like, what

584
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: what what what do they have training staffs for?

585
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: And what what?

586
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: What are you doing wrong? Why isn't this being corrected?

587
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't know talking about yeah, but I don't know

588
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: if I blame the training staff. I don't think I

589
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: blame them.

590
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 3: I once asked, I'll tell you I has Paul mall

591
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: At once. I'm right into him five years ago over

592
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: at the Holiday station over on on.

593
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: Over off of Vernon in fiftieth right and high one,

594
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: and the Twins.

595
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: That fire their trade. Stef guy go, how much does

596
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: it make a difference? And he holds up his finger

597
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: and his thumb and he holds him this far apart

598
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: like nothing. So I don't I don't blame the training staff. No,

599
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's yeah, train has nothing to do.

600
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: With And these these guys are just they I don't know, I.

601
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: Do it a lot of it on their own, and

602
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: I just but there's something amiss, is what I'm saying.

603
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: And just these are not the types of injuries that

604
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: used to occur on a in every spring training type

605
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 4: of thing, where you know, fluky things can happen, guys

606
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 4: get hurt, you know, they run into a wall, you know,

607
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: with Buxton and other things that have gone on. But

608
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 4: these soft tissue injuries that that seemingly are are affecting

609
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: the Twins, and they're not probably the only team, but

610
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 4: that does seem to be an epidemic of these types

611
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: of things that keep these players from advancing and getting

612
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: the kind of work they need, especially when you're limited

613
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 4: to the kind of talent they have on this Rochester.

614
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: You're getting ripped. Okay, Rosen's a fraud.

615
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: He just said Walker Jenkins is one of the best

616
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: pure hitters coming out of college.

617
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: Didn't go to Common High school, Ris drafted a high school. Yeah,

618
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: I'm my mistake, but well, the point of matter is

619
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: you thought you saw him on that Boston College.

620
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: You had When you watch Walker Jenkins, do you think

621
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: more Splendid splinter or Yankee Clipper.

622
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 4: It's left handed, but man, I'm just in this point, Yeah,

623
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: I think I think Mark kirk Gibson.

624
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

625
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 4: We haven't seen I honestly haven't seen much of him

626
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: because Simon High School that was about it. And he's

627
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 4: he's certainly was thought to be. He's had a couple

628
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: of years already in the minors and this was supposed

629
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: to be kind of those breakthrough years and maybe potentially

630
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: by mid season ended up getting a call up from

631
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: Saint Paul or whatever it might be, and that still

632
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: could happen. I don't know how long he's going to

633
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 4: be out, but it's just with with all the other

634
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: issues going on with the twins and trying to sell

635
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: Hope and trying to sell young talent. It's pretty difficult

636
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: to do when the guys are in the tub all

637
00:28:59,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: the time.

638
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: You know, we had a very controversial topic yesterday, intendant

639
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: to be and ibhemently disagree. I to actually think I

640
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: could even work with him anymore after this. Oh no,

641
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: I say Dmaggio. He says, Namasio.

642
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 4: What do you say to Demagio? I just I just

643
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: thought I just said the word. He asked me his name, Choeamajo.

644
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: I don't think I've said Demaggio.

645
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: I think Paul Simon sings and Missus Robinson. Where have

646
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: you gone, Joe DiMaggio? He says, right, I know he doesn't.

647
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: But I'll go with Paul Simon.

648
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll go with Mark Russe.

649
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

650
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I'm gonna go with Damashio. Yeah.

651
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: God, I remember when he was here in town. He

652
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: was a coach with the Oakland A's hanging out over

653
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: at Harry's Harry's Bar. Come to town and you realize,

654
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: always think to yourself, the players.

655
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do they know that. I'm sure they do.

656
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: They're in the and he was. He was, He had

657
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: his ego, I mean he would be.

658
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 4: He would insist on being introduced as you know, the greatest, Oh,

659
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: come on, he did not.

660
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely he would he sent a dozen rows, or he

661
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: would send roses. He would have grave No.

662
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 4: Anytime they had the old Timers game, he got mad at.

663
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 4: I can't remember when the announcers for not introducing was

664
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: the greatest living ballplayer Joe demagho it would have that

665
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: would have to be part of his introduction and he

666
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: would be really peeved if someone didn't do that.

667
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Did did he say he wanted to be announce as

668
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: Dmage or Demage? I don't. I don't know.

669
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 4: I just remember seeing him wearing those those Charlie Finley

670
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: crazy colored uniforms at Mett Stadium, and he was third

671
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: base coach for a while. He is that Joe Demagogie,

672
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call him, but it's still it

673
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: is Joelton Joe, and there he is as a coach.

674
00:30:53,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: That's like watching with Ted Williams was here with Washington Senators,

675
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: I guess at that point, and he and Rod Cruz

676
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: struck up a friendship for a period of time. When

677
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: Rod was having his sensational years here with the twins,

678
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: Ted would come to town and he, you know, he

679
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: and his good friend Bobby Knight would go fishing, Sidward

680
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: Broker That.

681
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, CBS Sports is doing there every day. They take

682
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: a look and break down each major league baseball division.

683
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: Today they did American League Central. Here's what they have

684
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: for the projected starting lineup for the Minnesota Twins. Projected

685
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: leading off playing center by Buckston, Austin Martin and left

686
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: Luke Keishall playing second, batting, third, Josh Bell newly acquired,

687
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: playing first base, bat and fourth, Royce Lewis at third batting,

688
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: faith Ryan Jeffers at catcher in the sixth plot, then

689
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: Walner and larnic Is the d H. Brooks Lee at shortstop.

690
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: Kind of the same names we've seen for a long time.

691
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 3: And again that's where you know, I've talked about this often,

692
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 3: where all of those names particularly and you know we

693
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: already know about Buckston and Lewis, you know about they

694
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 3: were much vallely hooed and and Buxton certainly has been

695
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: a really good player for the Twins. He's been hurt

696
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: a lot, but he has been a really good player.

697
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 3: And Lewis we just don't know enough about. I mean,

698
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: he was one of the uh most highly touted players

699
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: in all of baseball, not just with the Twins and

700
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: all of baseball, but these other names that we hear

701
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: so much about Keyshaw, Wallner, Larnick can lead. These are guys,

702
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: especially the Walner Larni can lead. They've been three guys

703
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: that have been in the organization now for a handful

704
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: of years. We keep hearing these guys are gonna be

705
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: main stays in line because it's gonna be main stays

706
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 3: in the lineup. And they've all had their stretches, their moments,

707
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 3: but they haven't been able to consistently do it.

708
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: And you wonder how long the leashes for all these guys.

709
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 3: And I think for some of these guys, it's like

710
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: it's it's time to really you know, everybody's gonna have

711
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 3: a slump and you're you're gonna go for four and

712
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you're gonna drop a ball in the outfielder

713
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 3: and misplay. But they just need more consistency of those

714
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: guys because all of those guys have shown some flashes.

715
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: And I and again I saw, you know here in

716
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: the preseason, you you read locally all the different you know,

717
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: prospects that we have, Like they they're talking about these

718
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: three outfielders right, is that Gonzales azalaes ron Rigaz, I think,

719
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: And then I don't know who the third guys, But

720
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: you know the story in the in Fishrap West Side

721
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: was you'll see these three guys playing side by side

722
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: of the Saint Paul. You might even eventually see all

723
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: three of them playing at target field.

724
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: And it's like that sounds good and you hope.

725
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: But after a while, when you keep hearing that, that's

726
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: where you know some of us, after a while we

727
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: just we just kind of roll around, shrug our shoulder

728
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: and shake our heads and say, I'll believe it when

729
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: I see it. We hear about all these great friends,

730
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: like the Pitching Profit, there's a list of like ten

731
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: guys that they think these ten guys all have a

732
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: chance to be really good. And I guess chance is

733
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: the the the the uh the key word there because

734
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: we hear that all the time. And then just the

735
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: odds are such a tough sport to get to the

736
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: big leagues and excel and be a mainstay for so long.

737
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 3: The odds are just against most of those guys.

738
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: Well they are, and there's not a lot to back

739
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 4: them up. That's the other problem, not just in terms

740
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 4: of what Derek Shelton, the manager, has to now juggle

741
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: and figure you.

742
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: Know, he's got to figure out a system.

743
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 4: So the guys aren't, you know, playing every day and

744
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: which ones can handle it every day and and uh,

745
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 4: you know, they don't have a lot of depth. They

746
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 4: have some good young players, good minor league system, but

747
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: how many of those guys are going to play this year?

748
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 4: You know, cul Pepper is one guy, and there's another

749
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 4: couple other ones that but it's just really hard to

750
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: and because of the pitching situation to ever you know,

751
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 4: to kind of rally around, you know, if their everyday

752
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 4: lineup produces, I mean, they may need to score it's

753
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 4: five six runs a game to kind of to keep

754
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: up with what's going to happen with especially with the bullpen.

755
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how they're gonna how they're gonna get

756
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 4: that done unless there's some really young players at surprise,

757
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 4: But even in the Central Division, I mean, I you know,

758
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 4: I think it's just hard to imagine them competing.

759
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: And well, tires should be really good.

760
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: I mean, they've got two the best pictures in baseball.

761
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: They have a good everyday lineup. They and you know,

762
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: Royals and UH should be eyed, I think. And then

763
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: the Indians they have what I've read about them is

764
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: probably not as good as they have been as a

765
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: play in the.

766
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: White Sox or the White Sox, and it's the Twins,

767
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: you know. And in this story.

768
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: They also included biggest question mark for each club and

769
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 3: they were, you know, the biggest question is is the

770
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: tear down complete?

771
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: Because if you're you know, they had the fire said

772
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: with with with the bullpen last year and other players.

773
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: But at the very end, it says, if the Twins

774
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 3: struggle in the first half, will franchise stalwart Byron Buckson

775
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 3: be asked to consider waving his no trade clause. Now

776
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: he got very He was almost angry about it early

777
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: earlier in the spring when he said he apparently the

778
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: reports were he was mad that the Twins.

779
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: There was quotes from him in the in the Athletic

780
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: and the Fish rep right where he.

781
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 3: Basically said they could have shut that down right away,

782
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: they said, and they didn't that because he wants to

783
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: finish as a twin. But opinions change, particularly where the

784
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: the the direction of the franchise, especially if it's going south.

785
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: Then it also says, will the uh underrated Joe Ryan

786
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: be shopped to a contender, will high upside Royce Lewis

787
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: be dangled now that he's uh, he's into his arbitration years.

788
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 3: Those are the big unknowns, which fittingly reflect the uncertain

789
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: future of the organization. And that's what will be interesting

790
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: to see if they if they don't contend, and more

791
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: than likely they won't, especially now Lopez out and some

792
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: other guys. If they are a terrible team in a

793
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: terrible city, a terrible fanser say, do they just go

794
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 3: Let's just let's go all prospects, Let's go ahead and

795
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: let let's see if Buckston will wave it. Let's go,

796
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: let's see if Ryan want if we can trade Ryan,

797
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: and if we can get rid of Lewis.

798
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, it'll be interesting to see.

799
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 4: I don't think any nothing would surprise me in terms

800
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: of the approach that from ownership, because I think they

801
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: realize they're not gonna They're not only not going to

802
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 4: contend this year, they're not gonna they're gonna be lucky

803
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 4: to be fifteen twenty games under five hundred. As the

804
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 4: season progresses, I think they all realize it's a real

805
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 4: probability of a lockout after this year, and that whatever

806
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 4: Tom Pole ad whatever it feels is that their objective

807
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: is to have a competitive team by twenty twenty eight.

808
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 4: I don't think any of that's going to happen this year.

809
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 4: Not to say they are acutely aware that in the

810
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: sports landscape here, even when the weather gets nice, that

811
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 4: selling tickets. I've gotten I don't know, two or three

812
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 4: emails from somebody with the Twins organization. I don't know

813
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: the person asking about signing up for I think I

814
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 4: told you it's like a ten to fifteen game package

815
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: or whatever it might be. I've never gotten anything like

816
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 4: that before. And it's just I think they're doing it

817
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 4: to a lot for a lot of folks. It's going

818
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 4: to be a tough sell. I mean, even if you

819
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: want to say to yourself, you know what, I'm going

820
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 4: to go out to the you know, I love going

821
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 4: to Target Field on a nice summer night, nice summer

822
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 4: Saturday afternoon, whatever the case may be. Go watch some baseball.

823
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 4: They do it in Colorado. They're lousy franchise they have.

824
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 4: They draw quite well out there, But man, I think

825
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: Minnesota is a different animal. I think there's just too

826
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 4: many other things to do, and we know when that

827
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 4: when that weather gets nice, and you know, whether you're

828
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 4: on the golf course, whether you're in your favorite lake,

829
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 4: whatever it might be. Now in the old days of

830
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 4: listening to it on the radio are even few and

831
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 4: far between now as people are just not And that's

832
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 4: the look in the mirror.

833
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: That's just all.

834
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: That's all because of ownership and what they what they

835
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 4: did not do after winning a playoff series here a

836
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: couple of years ago. That was the decision that they

837
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: made at that time not to continue to compete. And

838
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: that's it's coming back to smack them right in the

839
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 4: butt this year particularly.

840
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's a topic that comes up often here

841
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: on the ground where you just talk about your different

842
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 3: types of fans, and you're exactly right. There are the

843
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 3: fans that they go to the game that it really

844
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 3: they like to see the Twins win. But at the

845
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 3: end of the day, they're just there is, hey, what

846
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: do you want to do tonight? You know, they go

847
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: to one or two games a year so that they

848
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 3: go bowling once or twice year. They go out to

849
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: a club to see music.

850
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: They go right, they.

851
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: Got to canoe, they rent a boat, like you say,

852
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 3: or whatever they do, and they just go, let's call

853
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: the Twins game, and they'll go and they'll kind of

854
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: pay attention.

855
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter to them.

856
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: And then you got all the way to the other

857
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: end with the people that are hard corese score in

858
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: the game, they're mad when the team doesn't win because

859
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: they do enjoy they enjoy cheering for the home team.

860
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: So you have all sorts of different fans. And who

861
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: was timby? Who was the quote from? Who is the

862
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: which guy was it the owner of what team? Was

863
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: it that said? You know the truth?

864
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: This was a coaches recent last week. Truth of the

865
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: matter is winning is like is ranks fifth on fans?

866
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: Uh wishless? Yeah?

867
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 3: Winning, you know, affordability, safety, He had all these other

868
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: things listened and he said, he goes, you'd be shocked,

869
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: but winning was probably about the fifth most important things.

870
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: And I don't with some fans, but I still think

871
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 3: hardcore fans that's the number one thing. I think they'll

872
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: pay big they'll pay they'll pay big ticket prices if

873
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 3: the team is really good.

874
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 4: And you know that's the thing I've you know know,

875
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 4: I've always been a baseball guy and I love it.

876
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 4: I love the day to day drama. I love the

877
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 4: day to day conversations and and uh you know, the

878
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 4: box scores and whatever the case. Checking out the progress

879
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 4: of young players and seeing how the guys are getting

880
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 4: out of slumps or streaking and doing the little things

881
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 4: that make baseball an intriguing game. And as we saw

882
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 4: last year, you would say, well, baseball is dead.

883
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: This is.

884
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: That World Series last year was as good as it gets.

885
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 4: And I granted it was the Dodgers, and we understand

886
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: that Toronto and Toronto will probably be back again, but

887
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 4: for pure drama that that World Series was as good

888
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: as anything you'll see. I mean, it was baseball at

889
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 4: its best with all the with the drama and not

890
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 4: having a shot clock and not have. You know, it

891
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 4: was riveting to watch. But the problem is, it feels

892
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: like the Twins are playing a different sport. Yeah, that's

893
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 4: that's that's where we are right now. It's not the

894
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 4: same as watching those elite teams game today.

895
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: Royce would tell you go watch the town ball.

896
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 4: No, he's right, No, righty does that. No, there's plenty

897
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 4: of good town ball and you know in the in

898
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 4: the state to go watch them there's everywhere it is.

899
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 4: It's been almost every town has one. Yeah, it's fun,

900
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 4: it is.

901
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: I adopted a couple of years ago. I uh, the

902
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,040

906
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: went to state. They didn't win, but it was pretty

907
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: cool anyway.

908
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,480
