<v Speaker 3>All right, it is time for the top story. Is

<v Speaker 3>it a top story of it?

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, Pee, your top story begins with this losses yesterday.

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Stars have to be stars. Do not ignore history. Look

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>at the elimination games and why Boston and San Diego

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to ignore. Cleveland are going home. Boston doesn't

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>into your narrative, you know, I'll be honest, I just

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>don't really know. I was like, I don't know if

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 2>is this guy star? I don't know is that guy

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>that was my problem? Whereas just kind of looking through

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs, the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Padres Rush,

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, way, I know these guys. Uh Boston won

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>for eleven effort from Duran story and Bregman h Uh

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Tyres dies I got again. And that's the only reason

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I know that he's a star because of our former

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>intern Gabby, who was very disappointed in his effort against us,

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>A very disappointed. Meanwhile, Yankees super Rooky Cam Schlittler was

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>as advertised his final regular season started. He struck out

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>nine he allowed two hits over seven and in this one,

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, eight innings, twelve strikeouts, zero walks. First time

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 2>in Major League base Ball playoff history a rookie has

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>put up those numbers.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Ever.

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Meanwhile, in the series, Aaron Judge hit three sixty four,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Volpi hit three sixty four, and the Yankees broke the

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>winless streak since this wild Card format was introduced. Teams

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>winning Game one were fifteen and zero going into their

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>final contest of the evening, and yet they ended up

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>getting out. They will head to Toronto to take on

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the Blue Jays. For the Cubs, Kyle Tucker hit two

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>seventy three, Pete Crow Armstrong hit three hundred. Michael Busch,

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 2>former Dodger They're All Star, hit four hundred, and we

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>did find out courtesy of Clyle. She sent me the note.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Michael Bush traded for Jackson Ferris and Zayer Hope, so

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>two promising minor leaguers for the All Star first baseman

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>that was blocked by Freddie Freeman. Here in Los Angeles.

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>He hit four hundred with a dogger and Dansby Swanson

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>was out there making every other short stop in the

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>big leagues look like they should quit compared to what

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>he was doing in the field. Why are the Padres

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>going home?

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Because Tatisa Machado suck ass? Pure ass.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that is very harsh.

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Fernando Tatis one pure class, you say, pure ass.

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 2>He hit zero eight three, zero eighty three in the

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>wild card round, four strikeouts. Machado had the one big

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>homer in a game to win, and everyone was getting

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 2>all over the Cubs skipper Craig Council like why would

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you pitch to him? And it's like, well, that was

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>his only hit in the entire series. He was one

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 2>for ten. He did not have a hit up to

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that point. I guess that's why we pitched to him.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Did he make him pay?

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 2>But Machado, for all of his chirpin and all of

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>his chest puffin one for ten with three strikeouts. Luisa

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Rise who.

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Was one leaf, Machado was Graycia. You know, after it

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 3>was all said and done, you know, he kind of

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 3>took the blame on himself. He did kind of like

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 3>James Franklin, you know, after losing to Oregon, he was, uh,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 3>he handled himself well.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>And most defended.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 4>But how do you assess the season? Like this. I mean,

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what type of question is that? Dude? My guy?

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 4>How do I assess the season we just lost? How

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 4>do you think I assessed the sea? How do you

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 4>think I assess it?

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't know that.

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 4>I was asking you.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Tell me, what's a loss we lost?

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 4>How do you assess it? It's a loss you're lost?

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Come on, dude, I mean you could ask better questions

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>than that.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's go, come on, thank you, thank you for sure.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, wait to the last second I asked that question.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure, let me let me try this one, machado. How

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>much of it do you blame on yourself? One for ten?

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.159
<v Speaker 2>One for the team was zero for eight with runners

0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>in scoring position. Luisa Rise won the batting title, and

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 2>the Chattle's a big guy, very intimidated. I would imagine

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>if you're a someone like me, a little neatly necked

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>reporter with the microphone in his face, and he's kind

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 2>of staring you.

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Down, going toe to toe with him. Though last year,

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 5>remember Alost a year ago to the day.

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was in Boise or something or something right.

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 5>In from the dugout there Dodger Stadium.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know if I had the can of

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>turtle wax or the rag that was waxing his balls.

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember. That's that's how I went toe to

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>toe with him.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Kates here is the nicest guy gets a bad rough

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>What do you think?

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sounds good to me, Dave, let's go h did

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 5>we all walk away from that going yeah? It really

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 5>isn't actually a nice guy he was. He was great,

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 5>super nice to us, put his arm around. Dave had

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 5>a big smile on his face, but he had a

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 5>bad series. Uh Luis Rayes, Like I said, is won

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 5>the battle like batting title. I think three times two

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 5>for eleven.

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh so, yeah, it was a disastrous called strike three

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>in the top of the ninth with Jackson merrill Avage

0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>just hit a homer to cut the lead to three

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>one a runner on first, nobody out. But that ain't

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>why you lost. That is not why you're going home again.

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Zero for eight with runners in scoring position is why

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 2>you're going home. So for the team to show no

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 2>class and start screaming at the umpires as they're walking

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>off the field, and by the way, umpires just keep walking, man,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>don't engage as we're watching.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that was like the uh maybe that was like

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the alternate guy that that that we got in love, right,

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean? Like the guy who never

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 3>made it out there, And then the security had to

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 3>say that was that was fair? Yeah, I haven't seen

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>so much anger since those waymos got lit on fire

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 3>downtown a while back.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what it was like. It was like a flaming weymo. Uh,

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>they could have got a hit. Maybe you don't need

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>a ninth inning rally to win a game after doing

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>nothing in the previous eight and uh, the last time

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I checked, there were two on and one out for Croninworth,

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>who grounded out, and then runners on second and third

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 2>in scoring position with the best hitter in the series

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>for the Padres, Freddie Furman in the box set up

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>for a rally and he popped out the center. So

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 2>still opportunities there to overcome. But as we have detailed

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 2>on the show, mostly courtesy of David Vasse, the Padres

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>are far too emotional of a bunch, and things like

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 2>that really get into their head. Game over, series over,

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 2>season over, and in a Fred Rogan like way, no hope,

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Padres over, this was probably their last shot. There was

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>part of me that was kind of hoping they could

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 2>make the NLCS so the Dodgers could put that nail

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 2>in the car.

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, you really wanted to grind your toe on

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Daniel's eyeball.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I kind of did. Because they got all these free agents.

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Cees, Arise Suarez is going to opt out of

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 2>his deal, Jason Adam, who was injured all year, he's

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a free agent. I'm assuming Darvish is probably going to

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 2>retire the honor of Darvish not wanting to take fifteen

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>million bucks with half an elbow left in that arm.

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Is the window closed, I don't know. It's if it's open,

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it's barely open. So this was kind of a push

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>all your chips in. We're trading like nine prospects for

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 2>O'Hearn and Furman and Mason Miller, and this is our

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 2>year and they didn't even get out of the wild

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Card because their stars didn't play. They didn't hit the

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Dodger stars pe We've talked about it extensively. It's not

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 2>just one or two, It's been all of them. Sho Hail, Tani,

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts, Tascar, Hernandez. They all have slugging percentages, not ops,

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>slugging percentages over a thousand.

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Felt like they did come out to play right like

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 3>the Warriors.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I was thinking, you got to keep them separated,

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 2>come out and play a lot of people know that's

0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>why they had to have the secondary title, keep them

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>set rated in parentheses because nobody knew the ops.

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know either.

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 2>When you look through the Dodgers lineup, they have eight

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>players over one thousand. I mean, that's how ridiculous they

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 2>hit against the Reds, whether it was Mickey Rojas, Tommy Edmund,

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman is hitting over five hundred in addition to

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 2>all the other names I mentioned. That is why they

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't just win the series against the Reds. That is

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>why they demolished them. Now, to use the same analogy

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 2>that David Vasse used with us in the Suite, there

0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.439
<v Speaker 2>is a huge step up in weight class for their competition.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.200
<v Speaker 2>This is not heavyweight versus lightweight. This is a full

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 2>on nineteen eighty style fifteen round Michael Spinks versus Larry

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Holmes showdown. And with Otani at the top of the lineup,

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies are going with three lefties as their starters.

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 2>They want to shut down Otani. They want to shut

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 2>down Freddie Freeman. It is a Sanchez Lozardo Suarez back

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to back to back. If you've been watching any Phillies

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 2>baseball and you're wondering what does that mean? Are they good? Well?

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Lozardo struck out two hundred and sixteen, walked just fifty seven.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 2>He had two starts against the Dodgers this year, went

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 2>one to one and through fourteen innings, allowed four earned runs.

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Struck out fourteen in those fourteen innings, so pretty good. Suarez,

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>who on the season struck out one hundred and fifty one.

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Former All Star ranger Suarez, he walked just thirty eight.

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 2>He did have just one start against the Dodgers. He

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 2>lasted just four and a third, over which he gave

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>up seven hits and three runs. Now many saying that

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Christopher Sanchez would probably be your cy young favorite were

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it not for Paul Skeens dominating everyone and anything in

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 2>his way. Sanchez throw a two hundred innings two and

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>a half ERA. Twenty two of his starts were quality.

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Struck out two hundred and twelve, walked just forty four.

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Pretty impressive. But in his two games against the Dodgers,

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 2>twelve and two thirds gave up thirteen. It's eight runs

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>and four Doggers and he is throwing Game one. And

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>as we mentioned yesterday, if you can get to because

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 2>no Zach Wheeler, that threw a big wrench into the Phillies'

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>plans to kind of take that next step. They've been

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to the World Series and loss. They've been to an

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>NLCS and lost. Wildly disappointed by the Mets last year.

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>It was supposed to be Phillies Dodgers in the NLCS.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Instead the Mets upset him. As Spilly Ryan Spilboards told

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 2>us yesterday he thinks it's destiny for this Phillies team.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 2>They're way too good to not have at least one

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>World Series title. Well, you put their cy young candidate

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 2>out there, their ace that's supposed to be pitching Game

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 2>one and if needed game four, you get to him

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 2>and show hey Otani pitches like he's pitched in the

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>month of September. I think you feel pretty good. Not

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 2>not guess up the jet, but you got Blake Snell

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in Game two, and you saw the Dodgers.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Have an edge in this series. It's not a big.

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Edge, no, which is why I think if you win

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Game one, it becomes. I think it decidedly pushes to

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers to have Snell versus Lozardo and Yamamoto against Suarez.

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that this game one is the one where

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>if they're gonna get this series, they're probably gonna have

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 2>to get this first game. Otani in his first ever

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 2>playoff start. I don't think there's any chance he's kind

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 2>of any jitters or anything like that, But of course

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 2>they just ramped him up to six innings for the

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>first time his last time out, so that'd be the

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>one for them to get set the tone and then

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty good about trying to get one of the

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 2>next two and then see if you can win the

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 2>game if you need a game back in Philadelphia. As

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>for the hitters, p Bryce Harper hit two sixty against

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers this year five for nineteen, one homer, two doubles,

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>seven strikeouts. Kyle Schwarber did not play well against the Dodgers,

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>hit one fifty eight, three for nineteen one home runs.

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 3>He is there hitting star. Yeah, Like when Freddie Freeman

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 3>came to the Dodgers, he was the hitting star, and

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 3>then Otani showed up and he was the hitting star.

0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Right It feels like if there was no Schwarber's that

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 3>guy in Philly, right.

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think if if Otani's not winning the MVP, Schwarber's

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the guy that's probably getting it. So the fact that

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 2>they were able to keep him contained also nineteen at backs.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like having an Aaron Judge and Otani playing against

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 3>each other.

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Exactly got it and an old friend alert. Trey Turner

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>was just two for ten with three strikeouts against the Dodgers.

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Nick Castillanos two sixty seven, four for fifteen with a

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 2>homer flip side that, though Otani Nobeo against the Phillies

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 2>five for twenty three a two seventeen average, ten strikeouts,

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 2>two Doggers, just two ribbys. The rest of the bunch

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Mookie two sixty six for twenty three a home or

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>four ribbies, five strikeouts, Freddy two seventy three three for

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 2>eleven to one homer, two strikeouts, missed a few of

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 2>the games, uh and Max Munsey two sixty seven to

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>four to fifteen to one homer. So pretty much everybody

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of right and step against a good team if

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>they can put up those numbers, and then Otani can

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 2>become Otani like he has been in nearly everything else

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>save that one or those whatever six games seven games

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>against the Phillies, then uh, looks like they're set up

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to be pretty good.

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell shut them out on the seventeenth of this

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 2>month to avoid the sweep here at Dodger Stadium. Why

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>are the Phillies throwing three lefties because they are twenty

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 2>four and twenty three to Dodgers against left handed pitchers

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>compared to sixty nine and forty six against righty's. As

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>you said, p, these two teams are very good, and

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>many think whoever wins this series is winning the World Series.

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.639
<v Speaker 2>That the Dodgers and Phillies outclass the Brewers, Cubs that

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 2>are left in the NL and any team Blue Jays, Yankees, Tigers,

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and whoever the hell else I'm forgetting about in the

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:26.159
<v Speaker 2>American League. Shame on me. What kind of seamhead am I?

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:33.200
<v Speaker 3>The Yankees, the Blue Jays, and the Marinias, yes, who are.

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 2>All supposed supposedly a team of destiny, have never won

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.320
<v Speaker 2>a World Series, much like the Padres. The Padres will

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>not win a World Series this year because they're going

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:45.199
<v Speaker 2>home early because Fernando Tatis hit zero eight three and

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Manny Machado hit one hundred.

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad you're not traveling this weekend because I

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 3>think that would be too much for Danielle.

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Probably probably if the Dodgers smoke the Phillies, though, he's

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna it's just gonna compound his depression, I think.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 3>And nobody wants compound depression most definitely. You want it

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.840

<v Speaker 2>then Sunday we'll have Chargers versus Commander, so play by

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>play all weekend. And that's not the only play by

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 2>play happening in town.

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 3>P No, well there'll be a game. Uh us, he's

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 3>on a bye, but UCLA is up and running. At

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 3>twelve thirty at the Rose Ball I saw the Penn

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 3>State truck the Big Ring making its way up the

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:44.119
<v Speaker 3>one ten North today. So Penn State coming off a

0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 3>loss in overtime to Oregon in town, big Road favorites

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 3>against the UCLA Bruins. We had this guy on a

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 3>couple weeks ago when we were at Morongo, and he

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 3>does a great job covering UCLA sports specifically what is

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 3>a very interesting and and probably very frustrating if you're

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 3>a UCLA person football season. It's been a frustrating few

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.879
<v Speaker 3>years for UCLA football. Martin Jarmond the athletic director is

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.680
<v Speaker 3>under heavy pressure, and there's heavy pressure for the new

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 3>chancellor to get rid of him. What's going to happen? Well,

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.680
<v Speaker 3>there was a very explosive and interesting article written today

0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>in the La Times by Ben Boltch. Explosive. So we

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 3>have a lot to discuss with Bolch, the UCLA beat rider,

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.919
<v Speaker 3>who does a fabulous job on your for the La Times,

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 3>on your Southern California Toyota dealer's celebrity hotline the La Times.

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Ben Bolch with us right now. What's crack it?

0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 4>Ben?

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:39.080
<v Speaker 3>How are you?

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.199
<v Speaker 6>That's too one gentleman. Always a pleasure to be on

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:42.480
<v Speaker 6>with you.

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 3>We appreciate it first and foremost. You know, the stuff

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 3>you had today about Jarman was interesting, just kind of

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 3>drawing a picture of ineptitude in the athletic department. Maybe

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 3>there's also some supporters as well. As I thought you

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 3>did a good job of laying out there. But they

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 3>sent out a weird email that had a bunch of

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 3>information they shouldn't have sent out, with Troy Aikman's address

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.520
<v Speaker 3>on it and stuff. They upset a booster at one

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 3>of those Mexican restaurants in Tucson. How do you upset

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.200
<v Speaker 3>somebody at one of those restaurants. So we're so fun

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 3>and and all these other things have happened. Just kind

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.159
<v Speaker 3>of lay it out. How intense I mean, you were

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 3>there for the for the fire, Steve Alford banners and

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 3>all the different things that happened fire, Chip Kelly banners.

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 3>How intense is this compared to that?

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's a great question, and it's it's kind of

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 6>reached that critical mass fever pitch stage. I will say

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 6>it feels pretty similar to kind of the sense I

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:42.120
<v Speaker 6>got right before de Sean Foster was let go only

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 6>a few weeks ago, right, So, I mean you did

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.000
<v Speaker 6>all you have to do is hop on social media. Uh,

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 6>there's lots of calls for for Martin Johnmon to be

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.640
<v Speaker 6>let go. And as I wrote the story, there's there's

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 6>an airplane banner scheduled to fly over the tailgating area

0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 6>in downtown Pasadena tomorrow morning from around ten am to

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 6>eleven thirty that we'll have similar messaging to you know,

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 6>smiss Martin Jarmon on the banner. So it's it's pretty intense.

0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 6>And you know, as I also know, the Chanswer's office

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 6>has been flooded with emails about this issue as well,

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 6>So they're well aware of it and it's not getting

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 6>the pressure is not letting up at all.

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Ben just in terms of, you know, how much of

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>this revolves around the next hiring of the football coach

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 2>and then the fact that he's made a couple hires

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.440
<v Speaker 2>or his last hired it certainly did not work out.

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Does it?

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Just based on the search party and whoever's going to

0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 2>be conducting the interviews and calling the shots on that,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 2>how involved would Jarman even be in that based on

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the list of names we've seen kind of attached to

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 2>that search.

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's a great question. And I think, you know, honestly,

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.560
<v Speaker 6>if they were to make a move with Martin Jarmond,

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 6>one of the things that should comfort UCLA fans is that, hey,

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 6>they've already got some some really smart people and some

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 6>good names, you know, in place to make that selection

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 6>that that would you know, still be able to do so.

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 6>I mean we're talking about Bob Myers, the former UH

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 6>General manager of the Golden State Warriors, who are Steve Kerr,

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 6>Adam Peters UH commander's GM who brought in Dan Quinn

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.919
<v Speaker 6>took them to the NFC championship in year one. Casey

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 6>Wasserman one of the biggest names in the sports business. So, uh,

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 6>you know, they've got some some heavy hitters who have

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 6>a history of hiring coaches, and you know, no matter

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 6>how this turns out with the athletic director, uh, you

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 6>got to have some confidence that these people could make a.

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 3>Good hire either way. It feels like he's under intense

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 3>scrutiny from those people, right, like they're not gonna he

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 3>might have had his wings clipped already, mean from whom,

0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 3>from Casey wasser Those guys are gonna let Jarman go

0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 3>out and make a high.

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:54.879
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean, they agreed to be on the uh,

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, they agreed to be part of this, so

0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, I would imagine that they will have very

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.120
<v Speaker 6>strong voices and they will say, you know, if they

0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 6>disagree with the directions going, they won't you know, stand

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 6>for that, because these are people who have reputations to

0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 6>uphold as well. So I expect that you know, they'll

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 6>they'll do a lot of the heavy lifting here and

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, maybe Martin, we'll just kind of like say, yeah,

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 6>I agree with that's a that's a great decision. If

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 6>it comes to that.

0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean almost thirty years ago, I was playing football

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 3>in town Ben and the knock on UCLA was that

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 3>they're great, but they don't pay enough attack. And this

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 3>was when Bob Toledo was winning twenty straight games. They're great,

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:34.440
<v Speaker 3>but they don't pay enough attention to their football program.

0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 3>They don't treat it like the cash cow it is

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 3>to care for the other athletic programs they have, which

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:44.679
<v Speaker 3>are also excellent. It seems like that's still kind of

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 3>a prevailing sentiment all these years later, with all the

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 3>changes we've had in college football. Do you agree with that? Well?

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 6>I did up till they hired Shikelly and hate him.

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 6>Are really you know, competitive?

0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 3>I thought that changed everything too.

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Yeah, And you know Wasserman centers seventy five million,

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 6>paying five million dollars plus a year for food. I mean,

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 6>come on, these are big commitments they're making. So, you know,

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 6>I think it went down a little bit with the

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Deshaun Foster. His salary was clearly below that, But I

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.720
<v Speaker 6>don't think that signals any sort of lesser commitment to

0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:19.879
<v Speaker 6>football under UCLA. I think the money's there, you know.

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 6>I think they do have to go out and put

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 6>together a record package and figure out what their NIL

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 6>strategy going forward, because that's that's as probably more important

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 6>than how much they're going to pay the coaches, how

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 6>much they could pay the players, right, So that's the

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 6>issue they have to resolve.

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 2>How much of the Jarman thing is just as simple

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>as just what a complete disaster this year has been

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 2>with Deshan Foster. I know, you know, the article is fantastic,

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a great read. There's so many just specific stories

0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that are hard to believe one of them, let alone

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the compilation of them. But it really feels like this

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 2>is kind of, you know, a result of no one's

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>going to the Rose Bowl. Deshan Foster was a mess

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 2>this year, and you know, because mix play mixed coaching it.

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, the basketball team up pretty darn well. They've

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:05.200
<v Speaker 2>got some good players coming in. Is this as simple

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 2>as football, Ben, I.

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.159
<v Speaker 6>Think that's a great point, and I would say it

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 6>probably is the reason the spotlight has gotten so hot, absolutely,

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 6>But as you alluded to it, it does go deeper

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 6>than football. But I do think the reason we're having

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 6>this conversation right now and it's come to the forefront

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.639
<v Speaker 6>is completely because of football. Both with the failure to

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 6>to you know, deal with and dismiss Chip Kelly when

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 6>it was clear he was not the coach for this team,

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 6>and then you know, kind of making that quick pivot

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 6>to Deshaun Foster when they self imposed a ninety six

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 6>hour timeline, which was you know, completely unnecessary and kind

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 6>of to me tipping their hand that they'd already pretty

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 6>much decided on which way they were going to go.

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 6>So I think that was, you know, a big, big mistake,

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:50.359
<v Speaker 6>and now we're seeing the.

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Results as far as the rest of this year goes.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Penn State coming in here all angry after

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 3>losing to Oregon not ideal. It's going to be a

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 3>long road trip for them, and maybe UCLA shows some gusto.

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 3>But Tim Skipper seems to be a lot easier to

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 3>cover for you guys. He just gave a custom jersey

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 3>to Gary Danielson, who's doing the game tomorrow on CBS.

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 3>How do you think the rest of the year is

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.239
<v Speaker 3>going to play out? And what's it like covering this

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 3>team in the aftermath of all that stuff.

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's really interesting. I mean, as I wrote after

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 6>they lost to Northwestern, my alma mater, that I think

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:31.280
<v Speaker 6>it's fair to say they're on oh one to twelve

0:27:31.560 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 6>watch right now, right because they won They've lost every

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 6>game that you kind of penciled in as a you know,

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 6>considered almost automatic win over un L V New Mexico Northwestern, right,

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 6>and they dropped all three of those, and some of

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 6>them convincingly. So you know, I'm just looking at the

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 6>games they might win. It's having a little bit of intrigue.

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I think I've got like three, three or

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 6>four left where you're like, Okay, if everything goes right

0:27:57.000 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 6>and they can figure out the offense it's now being

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 6>run by Jerry new Heil, maybe they'll have a chance here.

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:04.880
<v Speaker 6>But certainly Saturday is not one of those games.

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Last one for me?

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:07.119
<v Speaker 4>Ben.

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Does it Does it affect the hiring of a head

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 2>coach and who might be interested in this job if

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>in fact they go to twelve or one and eleven, Like,

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.440
<v Speaker 2>does it make a difference if they win three games

0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 2>versus zero games?

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 6>I think it does not make a difference. I think

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 6>this is a Sonk season, a last season, and it

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 6>really will have no bearing on the future and the

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 6>resources and commitment that they're going to make to whoever

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 6>the next coaches. So I think, you know, there's really

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 6>not that much on the line the rest of the

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 6>season other than save faith, avoid embarrassment, you know, maybe

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 6>convince some of the promising freshmen to stick around and

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 6>and just hire the right coach and rebuild this thing

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 6>very quickly.

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you think Jerry calls plays throughout the rest of

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 3>the season or does it get taken by Noel Mazzoni

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 3>or something.

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm pretty sure it's going to be Jerry. I think

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 6>that they, you know, are really excited about that. Actually,

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 6>And Noel is a great uh you know, he was

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 6>the OC when when Jerry was playing here and came

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 6>off the bench to beat Texas. Yes, so I think

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 6>he's going to be kind of the elder statesman advisor role.

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:13.560
<v Speaker 6>But uh, you know, a great, great person to have

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 6>in your quarter.

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, thank you, Ben, and great perspective as always, a

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:23.040

<v Speaker 3>not the guy on the pier, saying Chargers.

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers, what's your Chargers pride?

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Deep?

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Stand up? Shannon Fannns and of course Daniel Jeremiah a

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 3>despondent Oh, very Padre fan.

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 5>But right now, yeah, where's dj huh on?

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 3>It is time for Matt's NFL He he had to

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 3>do a Dodger story. So we gotta put the NFL

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 3>picks elsewhere, and we're putting them right here, all.

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, pe, We're gonna go one in each window. Four

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 2>picks lost the Thursday night or last night, You forget

0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 2>or you didn't, Probably I did forget that. Shanahan just

0:31:43.720 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 2>gets in Sean mcvay's head. My god, is he a

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>mental wreck? Whenever Shanahan and all the forty nine ers

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>come to town. So lost that one five and seven

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 2>on the season. We're gonna go one in each window.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 2>London game early one, Browns getting three and a half.

0:31:56.600 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 2>First career start for Dylan Gabriel, first career start will

0:31:59.920 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 2>be in London. First career start will be against Brian

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Flores and that aggressive, blitzing Minnesota defense. You saw what

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>they did to Jake Browning last week. Flip side though,

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland got a hell of a defense, beat the Packers

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 2>and they're playing thirty nine year old Carson Wentz behind

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 2>a beat the hell offensive line down three starters, So

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be out there protecting Wentz? Third string center,

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 2>third string left guard, back up right tackle. Two excellent coaches,

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Kevin O'Connell, Kevin Stefanski, the Kevins. I'll take the under

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty six. It's a low under, but this thing reeks

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>thirteen ten, seventeen, fourteen type of game to the early window,

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:46.280
<v Speaker 2>ten am Pacific kickoff, Raiders at Colts. I want to

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 2>take the Colts. Just not crazy about laying six and

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 2>a half. It is clear Gino Smith has regressed a

0:32:51.000 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit, going to be down as left tackle. Colton

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Miller dealing with an ankle. Brock Bauers has not been

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the same since his knee injury, but I think with

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the emergence of empty they could put up points and

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 2>they could win. Indianapolis is one of the highest scoring

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 2>outfits in the NFL right now thirty one per game,

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 2>which means all I'd need from the Raiders is seventeen

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and we hit the over, so we will go over

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>forty seven and a half Raiders Colts for the ten am.

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, last season, we were all celebrating as

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 2>being one of the great tight end season we'd ever

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 2>seen from Brock Bauers.

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 3>I had a tight end party that there's the tight

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 3>end camp with Kelsey Taylor Swift saying at it. Yeah,

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 3>it's very very celebratory toward that position.

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Warren is unpaced to break Rockbauer's rookie tight end

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 2>records pretty good year later, he's he's really it's crazy

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 2>to think, but maybe he's even better considering all the

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:49.360
<v Speaker 2>different ways that they're using him. But both incredible, just

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 2>wild that what we thought was something we'd never see

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 2>again could very well fall the following year Afternoon games.

0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I'm going to stay away from Mars. You

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.600
<v Speaker 2>mentioned if he won twenty five PM America's Game of

0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the Week on five bucks. Did it last week? Not

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:03.520
<v Speaker 2>last week, maybe two weeks ago. I did it two

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago with the gigantic line, took the Ravens over

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 2>the Browns, laying eleven and a half, and it worked

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:09.239
<v Speaker 2>out this week. I'm gonna do it again. I'll lay

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:10.879
<v Speaker 2>the ten and a half to the Bengals and take

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 2>the Lions. I mentioned it earlier, Jake Browning and the

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Bengals versus the Vikings disaster. Lions, after a disappointing first week,

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 2>found the rhythm they are humming. Laying ten and a

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 2>half as a road favorite is not smart, but Jamar

0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Chase has less than fifty receiving yards and two straight.

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:28.719
<v Speaker 2>He's kind of got this squeaky wheel thing going on

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:32.319
<v Speaker 2>right now. Lions running game crushing it. Montgomery's a Cincinnati guy,

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 2>so big homecoming for him. Figure at least one touchdown there.

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 2>The Bengals defense not good against the run, so I

0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 2>will take the Lions. Lay the ten and a half

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 2>as a road favorite, something unthinkable in the NFL, but

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 2>that's how bad the Bengals are banged up. And finally

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Sunday Night football, I'm gonna take the points. I'll take

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots and the seven and a half. The Bills

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 2>had the wild win over the Ravens in Week one,

0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 2>but since then they have feasted on the Jets, the Dolphins,

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Saints.

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Stay their fault.

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>It's not their fault. You can only play who's on

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the schedule, right The Patriots, though, while the record two

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.280
<v Speaker 2>and two versus four and zero, they thumped the Panthers,

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 2>knocked off the Dolphins, hung in against the Steelers in

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:19.839
<v Speaker 2>what was just a way too sloppy game for them,

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of their own mistakes in Week one. I'll

0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 2>chalk up against the Raiders to Week one. I think

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 2>it'll be high scoring. Was tempted to take the over.

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Drake may is playing great about two fifty passing per game,

0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>seven touchdowns to two picks, his QB rating one to ten.

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 2>He's got two rushing touchdowns, doing his best Josh Allen impression.

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 2>His weapons starting to show up. Hunter Henry three touchdowns

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 2>on the season, Stefon Diggs just at his first one

0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred yard game, and I figure rookie Traveon Henderson set

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:49.040
<v Speaker 2>for his big breakout. The Bills struggle against the run.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Are they gonna win? Probably not, But with a hook

0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:58.439
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half. We'll take the Patriots and the points.

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Once again, Matt.

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Those eight kicks Patriots plus seven and a half, Colts

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Raiders over forty seven and a half, Lions minus ten

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 2>and a half, and Brown's Vikings in London under thirty

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 2>six and a half.

0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 3>And you blame McVeigh and Shanahan's mental rivalry for Yeah,

0:36:31.239 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 3>last night's loss was it was.

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Just it was a dumb pick. It was a really

0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 2>dumb pick. You don't want to give eight and a

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:39.560
<v Speaker 2>half points to Kyle Shanahan when he's playing McVeigh. The

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 2>guy's eight and two against him, for God's sake. So

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the hell I was thinking. You're

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:45.239
<v Speaker 2>just you know, the Rams are playing.

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Is best receiver in the country.

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:53.080

<v Speaker 2>the two touchdowns. Pretty good, take off his shirt and
