45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: I don't know how that has decided. I think like

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 4: Tokyo might be one as well, with San Francisco. I

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: know Sydney, Australia is how's that? I don't know how

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 4: aw it's determined, but it's some like a geopolitical thing.

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: Sister cities, you say, sister city.

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,720

Speaker 4: four fifty and then Susan Selester of the Chronicle at

96
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: five thirty, and we'll talk about if there are any

97
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: jobs that are still up for grabs in these next

98
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: two days for the Giants. Backup catcher battle is still

99
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: maybe going on. We'll see what's going on with outfield.

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 4: Harrison Bader still kind of if we're going football terminology

101
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: questionable for opening day.

102
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder Airmstring. I wonder if that means.

103
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 6: I know that they made a big move with taking

104
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 6: jung Hou Lee from centerfield to right field.

105
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: I wonder for opening day if they put him back

106
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: at center field.

107
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't think so. He's been playing right the entirety

108
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: of spring. I think they probably put Louise Montos in center.

109
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: You think so.

110
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: I think that's probably the route they'll go. I think

111
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: they want jung U Lee to get comfortable and right,

112
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 4: and I think there's no point in bouncing him around

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 4: when he hasn't. I mean, I know he's played center

114
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: in a pinch.

115
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: I think you do that.

116
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't think this is a pinch I think this

117
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 4: is why you have a guy like Luise Montos to

118
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: make the team, who can play center field for you

119
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: if necessary. So we'll find out more from Susan when

120
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: she joined us later. There might also be another gig

121
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: up for grabs. The new official artist of the of

122
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: the Giants. I don't even know if they called him

123
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 4: the official artist. He did put together Larussell. That is

124
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: the official theme song. The theme song last year, Nothing

125
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: like it.

126
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you and I were not into it a year ago.

127
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: I thought it was I mean like for it's fine

128
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 6: for what it was.

129
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: I didn't hate it. I remember you were really into it.

130
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 5: I was.

131
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Marcus was really into it.

132
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 6: We're so into it that he came to the last

133
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 6: year's roundtable with a boombox blasting it.

134
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: And I wonder if this year Murph will.

135
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 6: Come in blasting Larussell's new song, Haven't Send. Something tells

136
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 6: me that Russell's not gonna be on the Giants payroll.

137
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000

152
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm definitely over it.

153
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: It's real hard.

154
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: It's really weird when a team continues to run with

155
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: the slogan that the fan base mocks incessantly, and that

156
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 4: has been part of an era of Giants baseball the

157
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: Giants fans do not like to associate with.

158
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 6: Okay, so was nothing like it a part of the

159
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 6: twenty twenty one season, No, I think that was still

160
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 6: game up.

161
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you stay with that after one hundred

162
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: that wins?

163
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: Because that was Kapler's thing. They did stay with it.

164
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: When I think nothing like it came with twenty twenty three,

165
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: it was I think so it was either the last

166
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: season Galpler was still saying it was either the last

167
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: season of Kapler was nothing like it or the first

168
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: season of Melvine.

169
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 6: Okay, I want to say, I could be totally wrong.

170
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: Since I've been here at K and BR and that

171
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 6: was twenty twenty two, I think nothing like it's been

172
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 6: the slogan since my time here.

173
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.

174
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: I don't know why go one oh seven of them

175
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: change the slogan because that's my thing.

176
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Game up was caplishing. My thing was.

177
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: It used to be every year they gave you a

178
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: new slogan, Like when I was a kid, we used

179
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: to get a new one every single year, and then

180
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: sometimes you get like a playoff one there's magic inside.

181
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: That was the twenty ten Like get into the playoffs

182
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 4: and there's there's magic inside. And that's kind of where

183
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: the magic of the Giants came. Nothing like it has

184
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: just become I mean, Giants fans. I'm I don't even

185
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: really say anymore because it's like I don't mock it

186
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: as much on social media because it's just become so

187
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: so sad. But it's become more of a sarcastic slogan

188
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: and it's like nothing like it. Those are kind of

189
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: doing it to yourselves, like you're going five hundred every year,

190
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: and then they go nothing like it, and we're like, yeah,

191
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: I know, we're sick of this.

192
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It kind of leaves a bad

193
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: taste in my mouth.

194
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: It was fine when they rolled with it and then

195
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: had that stay for the reason maybe maybe they'd commissioned

196
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: the Rustle to sing one and they said, hey, we

197
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: got to stick with one slogan so he can make

198
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: this whatever.

199
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: They released it at the startory at the start of

200
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: last year.

201
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

202
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 4: The bigger point here is, yeah, hanging those slogan say hey,

203
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: come out and play uh the O two giants. The

204
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: the odd part about this is just now even at look.

205
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: So what happened was Larrussell is in some hot water.

206
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: We should put this out.

207
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Russell's in some hot water now he pulled out all

208
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: of his social media accounts. Uh.

209
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: Marcus Bouschet is a very good friend. By the way, Larrussell, Marcus,

210
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: I'm not that's that's my Marcus Moore. Marcus Morrip said

211
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: about Max Crosby or l Russell in any cambvr.

212
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Max Crosby's back.

213
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Man, you think we.

214
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: Called Marcus he'd have some takes on on uh Russell

215
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: like not not today, Like when we called him about

216
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 4: Max Crosby n two weeks ago.

217
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: When that happened, he didn't know that was us calling him.

218
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 6: I'm sure if he knows now he will not pick

219
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: up for a for us talking about l Russell today.

220
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: So the Russell got in some hot water because he

221
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: put on a new song yeah, called Heaven Sent, and

222
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 4: he put on a video talking about it before said, uh,

223
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 4: he admits in the video that his producer when he

224
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: sent him the track, his producer said, hey, man, I

225
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: don't really think you should put this song out.

226
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then Larrussell.

227
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: Was like, nah, man, people people want to sit by

228
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: and not talk and and uh want to spout off

229
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 4: about stuff if they don't know anything about. We got

230
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: to stand on business. We're putting this song out.

231
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 6: I think you should listen to your producer and honestly

232
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 6: maybe get a better producer, because Rick Ruben would never

233
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 6: allowed that.

234
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 4: Well, song is called Heaven Sent. I think it's good

235
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: advice from the producer. Goes on to say, like we're

236
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 4: all heaven sent. Uh, Malcolm is heaven sent, Martin is

237
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: heaven sent. He's talking about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.

238
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 4: He goes, everybody's heaven sent, even Donald is and sent,

239
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: even Epstein sent. You lost me there, and he goes

240
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: even eight off is heaven sent. You're like, whoa, whoa,

241
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: whoa whoa? Yeah, I cut it off there, he goes

242
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 4: eight off two Yeah, he says eight off too.

243
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, what are you? What are we doing?

244
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: What are we doing? La Russell?

245
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: So now he's been pulled, Uh, he's pulled all of

246
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: his stuff out off social media, has given a couple

247
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: of comments about it, but it is not like he's

248
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 4: not really it doesn't sound like he's feeling bad about it,

249
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: but he seemingly is has muted all of his uh

250
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: his public interactions.

251
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Next up, I mean, like, I'm not to defend that song. Whatsoever?

252
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: Did you get to the part when he was like,

253
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: even oj was heaven said? I didn't even cost be

254
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: Heaven said.

255
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, I don't know.

256
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: None of those are worse than what he said.

257
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at what point, like he performed that live right,

258
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: so what at what point?

259
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

260
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 6: At what point does the producer like unplugged the mike.

261
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 6: He'd be like, I got to stop you the Russell.

262
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: Do you mean like he performed it in the studio?

263
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: No?

264
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 6: No, no, like there there's a video of him like

265
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 6: performing that live in front of an audience.

266
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: They're like, where is this going.

267
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: He's like, even Kanye is having said he says that

268
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 4: part that's not made Jesus the Russell. So anyway, you'd

269
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 4: think that after that the Giants would be like, I

270
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: think we want not nothing like it, we want nothing

271
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 4: to do with it, but instead sticking with at.

272
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: Least can you imagine. I know he's not Christein's Ale

273
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: and nothing like.

274
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 4: I know he's not the creator of the slogan. Just

275
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: I don't like, are we all over that? Are we

276
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: kind of over the nothing like it?

277
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 5: So?

278
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, dude, I mean we've been mocking it for

279
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 6: the last few years on the show. And I think

280
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 6: when you're trying to start a new era of Giants

281
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: Baseball with Tony Vitello, come up with a new slogan,

282
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 6: and you.

283
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: Know, like we make fun of it like nothing like it.

284
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 6: Like I've seen people to debate be like Giants Baseball,

285
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 6: you'll get nothing in like it, like like people change it.

286
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: It's more sarcastic than anything. And you have to know that,

287
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: like as a team or organization, whenever you put on

288
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: a slogan anything like that, like people are going to

289
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: mock it when things don't go well or you give

290
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: them a reason to make it. But because it's been

291
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: mocked so heavily for so many years now, I'm like,

292
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: why are we doing this again?

293
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: It just just feels.

294
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 6: Sad to have better vibes this season. I would have

295
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 6: gone with something different and.

296
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: Really got You brought in Tony Vittelli, You brought in

297
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: Buster Posey back to back seasons, and you didn't switch

298
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 4: any of that up, And so the culture kind of

299
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: feels similar, only because from an external point of the fan. Yeah,

300
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: like we haven't seen the product change yet when the

301
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 4: games matter, we haven't seen what Tony Vitello's impact will

302
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: be on this team. We'll talk more about that. Because

303
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: Sluster on a piece out about Vytello yesterday. I mean,

304
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: she's gonna join us later, but on the eve of

305
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: his first game at Oracle Park, he's you know, it's

306
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: not gonna be an easy start. It's all playoff teams

307
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: and Giants play out of the gate. Ye it's Yankees

308
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 4: Magic Padres Phillies like it's it's a HiT's a gone one.

309
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: It's a heavy run to start the season, so he's

310
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: got to hit the ground running. And no Giants manager

311
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: uh as ever, I don't believe has ever opened their

312
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: tenure as Giants manager on opening day for all of

313
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: baseball on the national stage.

314
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 6: And that's why I think they're getting this stage because

315
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 6: the intrigue with him, and I know that people we're

316
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 6: talking about it later. I know people are kind of

317
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 6: upset about this whole thing. It feels like an NFL

318
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 6: style season opener to the baseball season and people want

319
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 6: to hear Kruk and kuype.

320
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: And he still can on K and BR But yeah,

321
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: I think.

322
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 6: There's a lot of intrigue with Tony Vitello, And yeah,

323
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 6: I wish they changed the slogan this year because going

324
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 6: back to nothing like it like it's it's crazy to

325
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 6: me that after the season where they had success game up,

326
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: they change that go to something entirely different. In the

327
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 6: last last everybody seasons for seasons, it's it's been mediocrity.

328
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: So I don't know why we're going back to nothing

329
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: like it.

330
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: Everything with game up is it's just like a copler

331
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: signing that nobody knows, Like it doesn't mean.

332
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: What the hell does that mean?

333
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: It's something he said, it's something he was like one

334
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: of a game up, time to game up on a

335
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: game up.

336
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, if you're gonna use slogans from

337
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 6: people in the organization, I suggested take the slogan that

338
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 6: Buster Posey said on these airwaves to Murphy Marcus when

339
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 6: they traded for Rafiel Devers a year ago.

340
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: Time to go. It's time to go.

341
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that might be too specific, but I.

342
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 6: Kind of like it though, where it's like, let's stop

343
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 6: effing around here, like this is a Giants baseball let's

344
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 6: start winning here.

345
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: You see they got a new Spanish slogan too. I

346
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: saw that, Yes, a Spanish slogan, but only one words

347
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: in Spanish.

348
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: So what is it?

349
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: Pua bayball're pure.

350
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 6: Bayball, but bay ball is just a play on words

351
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 6: for Bay Area baseball.

352
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's probably the last time we're going to be

353
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 4: allowed to talk about this. S Get it out now,

354
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: because I'm sure when we go to break they're gonna

355
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 4: be like you can't. Yeah, yeah, it's my fail. I

356
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 4: didn't come up with it. I don't even know if

393

Speaker 4: on for Wednesday evening at Oracle Park. All right, the

394
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 4: latest on the Giants. So some moves that happened over

395
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: over the weekend. The Giants signed Ryan barrookie. Yep, he

396
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: lefty previously in the Toronto Blue Jays and I guess

397
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: he was in camp with the White Sox.

398
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 6: He was, which makes me wonder how good are things

399
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: with the White Sox right now or he's not able

400
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 6: to make that team?

401
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 4: Uh that I don't know, and the White Sox have

402
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: been in a perennial like a perpetual rebuild for years.

403
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 6: That's my question where it's like, if he's good, then

404
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 6: he probably should have made that roster, don't you think

405
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: you would think?

406
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: Or they have somebody else they want to give a

407
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: look A true Giant set him to a major league deal,

408
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: meaning at thirty one years old, he was going to

409
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: be a major leaguer.

410
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: Like not.

411
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: This wasn't a minor league deal with a chance to

412
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: make the team or some depth. They signed him to

413
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: a one year major league contract. Joey Lukeasey, who they

414
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: had brought back in last week, he was on the

415
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: team last year and I was kind of surprised lu

416
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: Casey wasn't with the team in camp throughout. Lukazy then

417
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 4: after the signing of Baroki, asked if he could have

418
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: his his release. The Giants granted it, and I believe

419
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 4: he signed with the Mets, which is another.

420
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Team that he'd previously been with.

421
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: Anyway, good Baroki comes over after a season in twenty

422
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 4: twenty five through thirty nine games one and three, but

423
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: the four six three ERA one two eight whip they

424
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: did have thirty two strikeouts and thirty five innings. The

425
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: question I'm having is will the Giants carry three lefties

426
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: in the bullpen? Well, they carried Barokie Eric Miller, who

427
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: I'm really high on, and then also potentially Matt Gage.

428
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: He threw the ball really well for them last year.

429
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 6: Well that would be three more or actually two more

430
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 6: than they had a season ago on opening Day where

431
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 6: they only had Eric Miller.

432
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Remember, were talking about that and.

433
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: Then Miller went down, and that's why I had never

434
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: find Gage. They brought up Luke Casey last year because

435
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: that was my thought in camp last year was the

436
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: case he might have a shot to make the team,

437
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: and I was sort of surprised he didn't. But they

438
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: did have a crunch of pitchers last year.

439
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: They did.

440
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: They had to put Hayden birds Hung in a bullpen

441
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: because of such a great spring, and I just didn't

442
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: have a spot for anybody else, so for another lefty there.

443
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: So I would wouldn't surprise me if they went that route,

444
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: because Miller can get righties out as well, and if

445
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: you can face both sides, then then you ear and

446
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: yourself another another opportunity.

447
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 6: Well, it just shows that I, I mean Buster was

448
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 6: here a year ago, and I guess Tony Vitello, you know,

449
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 6: kind of values that a little bit more than a

450
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 6: year or a year ago, where Buster was like, we're

451
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 6: fine with just Eric Miller, or maybe it was more

452
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: Bob Melvin saying that we were just fine with one

453
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 6: lefty in the bullpen, but with Barreki is that is

454
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 6: how he pronounce his name, Ryan Borecki. Yeah, they have BAROCKI, BAROCKI.

455
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 6: They have options. Now, did you think it was interesting

456
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 6: that Tyler Molly was named the third starter for I

457
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 6: guess just for this series against the Yankees. I don't

458
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 6: know if that's going to be a big deal going forward,

459
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 6: but kind of surprising that Lander Roup is not on

460
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: that spot.

461
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: But then again enough, I kind of thought Roop would

462
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: be the five. You didn't I expected to be the five.

463
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: I thought that's why you brought into other guys. Okay,

464
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: so that doesn't totally surprise me. He's throwing the ball

465
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: pretty well in camp. I just for me, it's about

466
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: the durability. Can he get through the entirety of a season,

467
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: so we'll see how that plays out. But barocki Is

468
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: is likely to make the team. I imagine he's going

469
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: to be in the bullpen. He's had a good spring

470
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: as well, so get to know him, or hopefully you

471
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 4: will get to know him.

472
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: But they also have a couple other.

473
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: Guys who've thrown really well, and I don't know that

474
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna move guys off the four man like Caleb Killing.

475
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: Is he somebody who lands on the opening day roster?

476
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: I don't think so. He's a depth piece though, could

477
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 4: Keaton Wins still make it a possibility. I think maybe

478
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: they've got a lot of depth. I think we just

479
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 4: don't know how talented all that depth is. Like, there's

480
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: a lot of questions to be asked. Ryan Walker is

481
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: a key here where his strikeout rate dropped precipitously last season.

482
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 4: Couldn't get righted against right handed hitters, couldn't get him out,

483
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 4: and he threw his sinker ten percent more last year

484
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 4: than he did the year before, So maybe that's a factor.

485
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: But he's been nails throughout the spring as well, so

486
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: it's all about pitching, right.

487
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: I've said that Yeah, they'll go as far as Raphile

488
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: Devers will take them.

489
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 4: And if he's a top ten hitter in baseball, like

490
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 4: we know him to be throughout his career, then they'll

491
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: they'll be a lot better.

492
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: In terms of driving and runs.

493
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: They've got guys who can get on base now ahead

494
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: of Devers in Luisa Rise.

495
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: But it's always for me.

496
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 4: Going to come back to pitching. It's how they won

497
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: three championships. And you watch teams now in the postseason

498
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: or down the stretch. The teams who have the pitching

499
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 4: and can continue to get out at a high rate

500
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: and can eat away innings are the teams that are

501
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: often the most ecces usul. The Dodgers fell flat a

502
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: couple of times because they didn't have enough pitching.

503
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one.

504
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: They basically used all of it to try to get

505
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: through the series against the Giants and didn't have anything

506
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: left against the Braves after that. You see this with

507
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 4: the d Backs a couple of years ago in the

508
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: World Series they didn't have enough to get through it.

509
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: We saw it with the Astros had more starting in

510
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: Franberg was able to get through that series. Bottom line

511
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 4: is it's all going to come down to the pitching.

512
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: The bullpen is going to be the big question mark.

513
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: And again, as I've said before, the evaluation by fans

514
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 4: of Tony Vitello is mostly just going to come from

515
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 4: fans evaluating win, losses, vibe and bullpen.

516
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: Right is how did you use the bullpen? Did you

517
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: do it right? So we'll see.

518
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's interesting how often this spring too Tony

519
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 4: Vitello has said to the media, and Susan noted this

520
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: in her article from yesterday, maybe it's from today, but whatever.

521
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 4: She noted that he frequently will say things when he's

522
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: asked questions by local media about well, I'm sure the

523
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: media knows more about that than I do. Like and

524
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: I know he's I know he's he's trying to ingratiate

525
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 4: himself with the media. He's trying to under let everybody know,

526
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: I know what I don't know. I recognize that I

527
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 4: don't know stuff. And even when he's even when he's

528
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 4: just being sort of he's sort of talking you up

529
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 4: and he's saying that stuff about the media, there there

530
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: is he is aware based on some of his comments

531
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: of how much brighter this this light is going to

532
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: be on him. Oh yeah, right, that he knows that

533
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: he made comments about the in Tennessee and Knoxville. He

534
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: said the media there was like family. They're a professional.

535
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: But it's different when you think they're like family and

536
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 4: you're there and you've you've built that equity there, You've

537
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 4: dominated the sec everybody there was a fan of him.

538
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: But Logan web and Patrick Bailey talk about the attitude

539
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 4: that he brings, the juice that he brings, how exciting

540
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: it is, and how they've they've slumped in the middle

541
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: parts of the last couple of seasons, and Logan websites,

542
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: I think he really really wants to avoid that and

543
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: so trying to follow his sort of we gotta work fast,

544
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 4: we've got to play fast, we've got.

545
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: To be aggressive.

546
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: That seems like the nature of the game that Tony

547
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: Vaitello intends to coach. Can you do that within the

548
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: restraints of Major League Baseball and within the bounds of saying, hey,

549
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 4: we're a dangerous team.

550
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: We're going to be aggressive.

551
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: But also you can't let it get away from you, you

552
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like you not necessarily going to

553
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 4: get big leaders to do the same stuff that young

554
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: college players do and not all the same stuff is

555
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: going to work in terms of aggression and how you

556
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: run the bases, how you send guys and take chances.

557
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: So he's got a lot of coaches. He knows what

558
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't know.

559
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 4: But he's also got new arms in the bullpen that

560
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 4: weren't even here a week ago. Yeah, his first six

561
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: weeks of swing training, you know.

562
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: I mean that's gonna be his biggest thing this season,

563
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 6: is how he manages the bullpen. And yeah, it will

564
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 6: be predicated on wins and losses, and or will will

565
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 6: evaluate him on wins and losses and vibes, which has

566
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 6: been established in spring training, and also how he manages

567
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 6: the bullpen. But for five months now, we've been talking about,

568
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 6: you know, Tony Vitello the person, and we know what

569
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: kind of person he is at this point. We know

570
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 6: how he is with the media. He's very self aware,

571
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 6: even though he does bring up the Tennessee stuff on

572
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 6: his own, which he did in spring training. Every time

573
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 6: he says that, he goes, look at me bringing up

574
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 6: college again. I think he's aware that this point, once

575
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 6: the regular season starts, that has to go out the window.

576
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 6: And I heard him it's time to go, and I

577
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 6: heard him on the Giants Talk podcast with Alex Pavlovich

578
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 6: and Bonte talking about how he's all in with the Giants.

579
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 6: So from here on out, we'll judge Tony Vitello as

580
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 6: the manager, and I think that he's going to bring

581
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: something different. I think that people were up in arms

582
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: a year ago about Bob Melvin kind of being blase

583
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 6: and press conferences. That will not be the case with

584
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 6: Tony vai Tello. He's a great talker. It's just how

585
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 6: is he going to be at this major league level?

586
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: And he's he gonna lean on He is going to

587
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 6: lean on Chase Tangler and Ron Washington and obviously Boach

588
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 6: and Dusty. It's just a matter of, as you said,

589
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 6: cops coming out the gate here, he has to play

590
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 6: the likes of the Yankees and who else on the

591
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 6: schedule the Mets.

592
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: Yankees match, you get Phillies early on, so.

593
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 6: He's gonna be test early on here. But yeah, that's

594
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 6: part of the intrigue. That's why they're on this this

595
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: Netflix standalone game and then they have a break, you know,

596
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 6: no game on Thursday.

597
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of the part of it.

598
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 4: Too, is if you can get the Yankees on Opening

599
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: Night on Opening down, Netflix, Netflix has maybe get Netflix

600
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: might have taken whoever the Yankees played Opening Day to get.

601
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Their first the first game.

602
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: Probably it might have been like, why don't we get

603
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: the biggest crowd we can from across the country. We're

604
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: doing it at a five o'clock in an East coast

605
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 4: eight PM primetime window.

606
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't we do it at that? Do Yankees?

607
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: And if we get a buy coastal team, if you

608
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: get Yankees and Giants, or if you got Yankee's Dodgers,

609
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: of course, but against the Giants, whore like, that's a

610
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: bi coastal game. You know, the Giants are a good

611
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: fan base, they stretch back east as well. You've got

612
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: the Tony Vitelo element. You've got big name in Raphile Devers,

613
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 4: Matt Chapman is marketable, Willie domas marketable. So there are

614
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: pieces here to make this an intriguing game. But no

615
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: one game in baseball those where Yankees and Dodgers was

616
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: going to generate the eyeballs that like, not even that

617
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: closed that an NFL game would to have that kind

618
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: of juice.

619
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: It's not the same.

620
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: We would never generate the same, because again, baseball is

621
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 4: so much more regional. Fantasy and gambling is so much

622
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: different for football and how all that plays out in

623
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: daily fantasy and.

624
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: All that stuff.

625
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: But to me, this is about the Giants are a

626
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 4: brand name of baseball, for sure, It's absolutely they're a brand.

627
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: They also have a good and interesting story in Tony Vitelo,

628
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: and you're playing the Yankees. Like if it were Giants Dodgers,

629
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: I don't think this is the opening game.

630
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: I don't you think they say that for something else

631
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

632
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 4: I think if the Giants and Dodgers were playing, maybe

633
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 4: it would be the Netflix opening game.

634
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: I guess.

635
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 4: I guess that's a big rivalry. But it's still a

636
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 4: West Coast game, you know what I'm saying. I can't

637
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: imagine there would have ever been two West Coast teams

638
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 4: on them.

639
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, like me and Walter actually talk about

640
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 6: it yesterday where it's like I'm I'm I'm kind of

641
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 6: not surprised, but like, why are the Giants involved in

642
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 6: this game where they could easily just done Dodgers and Yankees,

643
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 6: And maybe you don't.

644
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: Want not easily done.

645
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: The schedule has been way far advanced that there has

646
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: been way far before, way before this was ever chosen.

647
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 4: So what they did was they just moved a game

648
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: into a slot to make it the number one game.

649
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: And it's probably the most appealing, Like the Dodgers are

650
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 6: playing the Diamondbacks, and that's gonna be the I guess

651
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 6: the debut of Sunday Night Baseball, which will be done.

652
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 6: I guess they're doing that broadcast on Opening Day Thursday

653
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 6: for them. But yeah, this is by far the most

654
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 6: intriguing matchup. But yes, there is the Tony Vitello element

655
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: to it as well, so that's gonna be a big

656
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 6: draw with the Giants. Yes, they have names on this team.

657
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 6: Everybody knows Logan Webb and Willia Domas and Rafaeld Devers.

658
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 6: But I think a lot of people are gonna be

659
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 6: interested in just this project, this experiment with Tony Viteler.

660
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: I think so too. I don't totally think that's why

661
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: they picked it. I think it's about just what's our

662
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: best matchup to get the most eyeballs on it. I

663
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: think Yankees and Giants about that is.

664
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: Look at the other.

665
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 2: Matchups for opening week, So it's not amazing.

666
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: You'd tell me if.

667
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 4: There's any other games Netflix would have wanted bess As Giants, Yankees,

668
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh and the Mets. No Chicago, White Sox and Brewers,

669
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: No Nationals, Cubs, no Twins Orioles, no Red Sox, Reds,

670
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 4: no Angels, Astros, absolute Tiger's Padres, no Rangers, Phillies Nope,

671
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 4: Raised Cardinals.

672
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: No d Backs.

673
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: Dodgers maybe, but no again West Coast game, No way

674
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 4: do you bet Like you're like, well, who cares in

675
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: New York about the d Backs?

676
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

677
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 6: But they're playing that game at five o'clock and that

678
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 6: will be your debut for Bob Costas everybody on Sunday

679
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 6: Night Baseball.

680
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: That's the Dodgers and DVX. Yes, Guardians and Mariners.

681
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 4: Maybe, but no then A's and Blue Jays, No Rockies

682
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 4: and Marlins, no Royals and Braves.

683
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

684
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: I mean this this by far is so if you

685
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 4: were just gonna go through and be like, what's the best.

686
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: If we're gonna look at games that like like when

687
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: we do with the NFL schedule, who that game might

688
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: get flexed? Now they probably flix that one. This is

689
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: the only game if you're gonna tell me, Netflix, is

690
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: gonna pick a game to be their opening day game,

691
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: and I went through this, I think it has to

692
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 4: be Giants Yankees, right, It's the only thing that to

693
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: make any sense all the other, all the other against

694
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 4: a weird matchup markets I don't want. I mean, Tiger's

695
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: Pod is a good game, but not for if Netflix

696
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: gets a chance, they're taking the Yankees.

697
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, I get that.

698
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 6: Would I also think that from the Giants fans perspective,

699
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 6: I mean, it's cool to be a part of this

700
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 6: game at the same time. I heard it all weekend

701
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 6: where Bill Lasky was talking to fans. Fans are not

702
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 6: happy about this, and yes, it's cool to be selected

703
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 6: at part for for this matchup at the same time.

704
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 6: Game it's one game, but also, like you want to

705
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 6: hear Kruk and Kaipe open the season up on NBC

706
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 6: Sports Bay Area, I totally understand that.

707
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, you got it Friday.

708
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: He can listen right here on these Sports later the

709

00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 4: Are they more upset about that or nothing like it?

711
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: Adam Copelandpop Dan done hanging with you on a Monday.

00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 4: for the river Cats yesterday in their final scrimmage in Scottsdale,

717
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 4: and he showed him why he should.

718
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Have been on the opening day roster.

719
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: He also caught up with Shanna rubin Bryce Eldridge Little

720
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: revenge game. How soon will we see him in twenty

721
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: twenty six? Kruge says, not till twenty seven. Talk about

722

Speaker 3: and Bar and all day, any day.

727
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 7: Kind of plays the pitch he did, and he drives

728
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 7: one out to left center field and deep and it

729
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 7: is gone up over the left center field wall that

730
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 7: opposite field power man.

731
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: Just a towering home run.

732
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 7: Didn't even feel like he got all of it, and

733
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 7: it was out by plenty. There's the first run of

734
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 7: the game of Bryce Eldridge home run one nothing Rivercats.

735
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: Dirty work on a Monday. Bryce Eldridge sent down last

736
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 4: week to Triple A Sacramento. He's going to open the

737
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 4: season with the river Cats after hitting two twenty five

738
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: nineteen strikeouts.

739
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: In fifty plight appearances.

740
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 4: I think it was only about forty official at bats

741
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: is what it came down to, and the Giants are

742
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 4: looking for a bit more. He had a comment he

743
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 4: gave to to Shanna rubin the San Francisco Chronicle after

744
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: the game yesterday. And by the way, Tony might tell

745
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: us that he took it like a pro getting sent down.

746
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: Bryce Helder is.

747
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 4: Still just twenty one years old, said quote, I think

748
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: they want to see me go there with more of

749
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 4: an attitude, and maybe they thought I didn't have that

750
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: this spring.

751
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: He said.

752
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 4: I gotta keep working on that, keep trying to get

753
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: comfortable in the box again. But he had a four

754
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: hundred and forty four foot opposite field home run in

755
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 4: the fourth inning against Tyler Molly yesterday. He's going to

756
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: be Saturday starter, YEP against the Yankees. The first hit

757
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 4: he allowed he doubled in the game. Later on as well,

758
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 4: he said a swing isn't wasn't feeling his best in

759
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 4: camp after an odd offseason.

760
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: He was rehaving from.

761
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 4: October wrist surgery where he had a bone spur, so

762
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: he said his swing didn't totally feel normal throughout camp,

763
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: that we.

764
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Did see some flashes of it a little bit.

765
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: He did only have one home run that he hit, Yeah,

766
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 4: but he had an eight thirty ops or something. So

767
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 4: that's an ops you'd like in the middle of this lineup.

768
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: If he's capable of being a round eight hundred, even

769
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 4: at this age, that's what looking for, and I think

770
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: that's what they expect, so I anticipate. Again, I've said

771
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 4: this many times. I don't think Buster pose. He wants

772
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: to bring a guy to the majors and then I

773
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 4: have to send him back down.

774
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very rare to get called up and

775
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: then stay.

776
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: But when Buster got called up the second time after

777
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: a spring training call, ex give me a September call up,

778
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: you know nine. He got called up in May of

779
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: ten and never ever went back down. You know, Linsingham

780
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: came up and never went away again. Same with I

781
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: think Bumgardner might come up at the end of twenty

782
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 4: oh nine for his major league debut. I don't think

783
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 4: he ever went back down either. Bottom line is you'd

784
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: send a guy back and forth like that. It's a

785
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 4: lot of change in the organization. It's a lot of

786
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 4: different voices telling.

787
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Him what to do.

788
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 4: It's a lot of different different people working on the

789
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: swing and trying to get him up to speed. I

790
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: think you want him to work with the guys you've

791
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: brought into the organization within the last year to make

792
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 4: sure he's developing in the way that you need him to. Also,

793
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 4: they have some some roster crunch they want to figure out.

794
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 4: I know people are not happy at all about Jerara

795
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: and Cardossion, and they say, well, just get rid of him,

796
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: Let Eldridge go. Won't do you want Eldrids to go?

797
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: And if he comes up and he strikes up twenty

798
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 4: times in his first forty at bats, again he sent

799
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: him back down, and then we do again in September,

800
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 4: we do it again in August. Like sometimes that's what

801
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 4: you need. But if he needs it now and they

802
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: think he needs it now, I'm gonna trust that evaluation

803
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: of a twenty one year old at this point.

804
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I was saying two weeks ago that

805
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: I want him to play on opening Day, and that

806
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 6: would be intriguing to me, and I get it. Fans

807
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 6: see the new shiny toy, the object that's like, we've

808
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 6: been talking about this guy for so long now as

809
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 6: the top prospect, that let's just let him play already.

810
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 6: But you don't want to do the same thing that

811
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 6: Farhunt did to guys back in the day, where you

812
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 6: bring him up and then bring him back down.

813
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, Bryce.

814
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 6: Elder said himself like, I don't look at this as

815
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 6: a disappointment or setback at twenty one years old. I'll

816
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 6: be called up at some point this season. I'll make

817
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 6: an impact on this team. And I believe that too.

818
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 6: It's just about him getting reps and him feeling comfortable.

819
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 6: And when he says those comments as Shane Rubin about

820
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 6: how the coaching staff wanted him to come in with

821
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 6: a different attitude, I'm kind of surprised by that.

822
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: We said, do you say what you said, more aggressive attitude?

823
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, exactly, So I think they wanted me to

824
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: come in with more of an attitude, right, And in fact,

825
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: maybe I didn't have that this sprint.

826
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

827
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 6: So Kruko was asked about that today with Murphy Marcus

828
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 6: and he was like, basically more confidence. And I'm kind

829
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 6: of surprised by that because I will thought Bryce Eldridge

830
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: is a confident guy.

831
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: He's displayed a lot of confidence in his talking about

832
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: his games since he was drafted, and I think a

833
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: lot of young guys have that then they get humbled.

834
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 4: He's maintained his confidence, like he's hit at every level

835
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 4: of the miners, Like he's a really good year last year,

836
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: even in the sixty plus games in Triple A.

837
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 6: So I think mainly it was the wrist injury he

838
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 6: came in with then in the back of his mind

839
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 6: and maybe that affected his attitude at the plate as

840
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 6: they put it. But when this guy gets called up,

841
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 6: I think that he's Yes, it's gonna be different for him,

842
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 6: and yes he experienced that last year in ten games,

843
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 6: but you want him to feel comfortable. I don't think

844
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 6: they're going to make this call with how things go

845
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 6: with the team, Like it's not predicated on Luis Matos

846
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 6: or Gerar and Crossion not playing well.

847
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: It really is on when Eldridge is ready.

848
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 6: He'll be called up, and I think that probably be

849
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 6: the earliest June, or maybe I would say June. I

850
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 6: think that we'll see what happens here with this team.

851
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 6: But I think he's gonna be called up this season.

852
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think like you know Krug saying

853
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 6: that he could be next year. No, I think people

854
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 6: want to see this guy. They're giving one last chance

855
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 6: to Matos and in Carnassion. And I get it with

856
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 6: Gerar and Carnassion because he was pretty much injured the

857
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 6: entire year. With Matos, let's just give a one last chance.

858
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: This is it for both of them. So I don't

859
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 6: see it as all. They screwed up here and they

860
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 6: should have started this guy.

861
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: I get it.

862
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 6: It's intriguing, but at the same time, you want him

863
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: to be ready and not striking out as much as

864
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 6: he did in spring training.

865
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: Well, and here was his comment on that attitude thing

866
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 4: about the aggression in the box and the swing.

867
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: They asked if he was comfortable in the box. He

868
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: said no, I wasn't.

869
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: I think there was a certain thing coming back from

870
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: the wrist injury, bad habits. I wasn't confident in my

871
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: swing going into it. The risk feels great, but I

872
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: think coming back from it, I got in my head

873
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: a little bit on how it was working and how

874
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: it was moving. So that's exactly what you're saying is confidence. Yeah,

875
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: attitude is the I sort of feel like attitude is

876
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: like the well, I know I'm going to make this team,

877
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: this is my spot. I'm gonna come out. I'm going

878
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 4: to perform. But because he was coming off an injury,

879
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 4: I totally get that at twenty one years old, he's like, wow,

880
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: does this working? Easy to get in your own head

881
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: about that stuff. After surgery, he didn't start taking swings

882
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: until the week at Christmas, and then he was in

883
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: Arizona as of January getting some work. He went, honestly,

884
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: quote from early on, I didn't have an off season

885
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 4: to work on anything. I started swinging right before I

886
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: came to Ara Zone. I wasn't hitting off a machine

887
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 4: or an arm until I was out here. I guess

888
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: I didn't really have much time to work on anything

889
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: coming back from surgery. It's hard to immediately be yourself

890
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 4: again and let your bone and let your move be

891
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: your move. So this goes back to the article Susan

892
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: wrote last week where she spoke to a handful of

893
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: scouts I think around the Giants and maybe even other scouts.

894
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: He said, oh, he's going to be here. He's going

895
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: to be here for a long time. But also one

896
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: scout or a couple of different scouts said, I think

897
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: he maybe new needs a month. And if really, this

898
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: is about an injury where he was behind at the

899
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 4: start of spring and the first time he's had to

900
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: come back from a surgery again, just twenty one years old,

901
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: he doesn't have a lot of experience with anything coming

902
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: back from the injury for the first time. The confidence

903
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: to rebuild that we hear athletes discuss that.

904
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: All the time.

905
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 4: Do you have enough confidence, especially when it's like a

906
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: knee thing or a structural thing and you're like, can I

907
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: can I jam and cut and do what I need

908
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 4: to do?

909
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: All that comes into play. But also.

910
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: If you just don't have the mentality that they think

911
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: they need to see from you, is this is my job.

912
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: I'm going to do this and I'm going to succeed.

913
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: He's got to go get that be When he gets

914
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: that back, it'll start to come again, and I think

915
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: we'll probably see him up here sooner rather than later.

916
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 4: So if he started a couple of months behind, it

917
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 4: would serve the reason that a couple of months.

918
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: Or a month or some of the miners might do

919
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: him some good.

920
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is the best course of action.

921
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 6: This is better be safe than sorry. I think where

922
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 6: the Giants want to win baseball games, and I know

923
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 6: that you know we're all saying like, oh, they're not

924
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 6: on the same level as the Dodgers or maybe these

925
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 6: other teams the in all West. But honestly, their expectation

926
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 6: should be to finish second and start out strong. You know,

927
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 6: obviously you got a hellish scheduled to start things, but

928
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 6: you don't want Bryce Eldridge to start the season striking

929
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 6: out and then he loses his confidence. Make it where

930
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 6: he goes to Triple A and feel, you know, go

931
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 6: through that whole process again and have a good game

932
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 6: like yesterday, get revenge on the Giants quote unquote.

933
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: But you know it's I should say, like tongue in

934
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: cheek with that.

935
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 6: But at the same time, give him time to develop

936
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 6: and then when he's comfortable, they'll bring him up. And

937
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 6: then I have no doubts that he's going to make

938
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: an impact on this baseball team. It's just a matter

939
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 6: of when he feels comfortable. But I'll a s u

940
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 6: coaps at this point, what is their option at DH.

941
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 6: When it comes to opening day, you could put Elliot

942
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 6: Ramos in that spot. Now you could have Gerard Conossion

943
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 6: plays field.

944
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 4: I think I think I'd rather have Ramos and left.

945
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: You think so than in Carnossia and yeah, yeah, he

946
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: has more range anyway, I mean, neither is a plus defender,

947
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: but I would tell Ramos over over in Karnassion, I

948
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: thought Ramos was a minus defender a bit at Dumbs

949
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 4: last year.

950
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the metrics.

951
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 4: Say exactly, but i'd hope he's improved in that that

952
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: area of his game. And they need his bat to

953
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: carry parts of the middle of this lineup or the

954
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 4: middle bottom part of the lineup. But if you're down

955
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 4: Beata opening to I don't think you're going to get that.

956
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 4: I think what you'd probably get is in Carnossion at

957
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: DH endeavors at first base. I think that's the most likely.

958
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 4: And Cardossium is hitting near three hundred right now in spring.

959
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 4: I know people aren't happy he wasn't terrible. He's got

960
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 4: two homers fifteen four fifty one, two homers, eleven RBIs

961
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 4: and he's got no ps A seven sixty.

962
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: I think he's.

963
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 4: Probably your dge opening day. Yeah, that'd be my guess,

964
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: probably because my guess. Here's the other thing too, is

965
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: if you're not gonna put Eldridge on the opening day

966
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 4: roster one, you have to fill that position, of course,

967
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 4: but what's the reason. And if in Carnossion, if part

968
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 4: of it is Eldridge is performs and also his attitude,

969
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 4: then I think it's it's fine to say, hey, we're

970
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 4: gonna put him in the minors for a minute, but

971
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 4: then we have to take inventory on what we have

972
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: within Cardossion. If he's not going to be the guy,

973
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: or he doesn't hit in the first month, then you

974
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 4: move on. But you have to go with the sample

975
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: size of it. Bats to say, cool, we're getting going here.

976
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 4: This guy's driving the ball, he's not geting runs before

977
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 4: you move on, because again, he doesn't cost you anything

978
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 4: to keep you may as well because you'll lose him

979
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 4: if you if you move on from him. Eight O

980
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040

989
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: I think so.

990
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: The Warriors have fallen to ten after two and eight

991
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,960

00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: Friday was our fault.

1015
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: Well it was. It wasn't my fault.

1016
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: But well it wasn't my fault either.

1017
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 5: Something. There's no faults. It just worked out perfectly for

1018
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 5: all of us.

1019
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: Just worked out. So, I mean, where's your focus now,

1020
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Marcus Man?

1021
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 4: You weren't there with with als Alou unveiling her her

Speaker 4: Lucky Charms custom box. I saw, Oh she's got a

1023
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: custom Lucky Charms box with her.

1024
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: On the front.

1025
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: It's like, dude, it was like first ten or first

1026
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: twenty five people who did something got the box. I

1027
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: was like, dude, she's got like seven million Twitter followers.

1028
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 4: Oh my god, she's got insame number of followers. Uh, Marcus,

1029
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: what have you been up to? What you been following

1030
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 4: her covering since the Olympics.

1031
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 5: I mean, this is gonna really impress you, But I've

1032
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 5: been doing absolutely nothing.

1033
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: A boy.

1034
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 2: I like it you've earned that though, Marcus, I.

1035
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 5: Took myself a week now. I got a locky in

1036
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 5: on these dubs. You know. Actually, actually I do have

1037
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 5: some figure skating stuff because the World Championship is about

1038
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 5: to happen. I'm not going to Prague, but I will

1039
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 5: be watching how our boy Ilia Malman does in his

1040
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,959
Speaker 5: first skate since melting on the ice.

1041
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tough deal.

1042
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you about the dubs, Marcus.

1043
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 6: So we got over the weekend the report from Sean

1044
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 6: Sharani or actually Anthony Slater saying that Steph's gonna go

1045
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 6: back to practice, not gonna play tonight. The hope was

1046
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 6: he was gonna scrimmage this week, but I guess he

1047
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 6: wasn't able to yesterday. So I think we were circling

1048
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 6: maybe Wednesday for his return. But what seems like the

1049
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 6: most likely outcome this week.

1050
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, part it's gonna be tough, Like they get back

1051
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: and immediately they got a game, so it'll be hard

1052
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 5: for him to play on Wednesday, even though I think

1053
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 5: that's the day they were circling, right. Yeah, if you're

1054
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 5: the Warriors that you want steps back, you want to

1055
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 5: do it in Chase Center. So Friday becomes the next

1056
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 5: like viable day. But I do wonder, especially considering the stakes,

1057
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 5: do they do the thing where they play them and

1058
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 5: give them a short minute rest. Right, it's a Washington

1059
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 5: team that they should be able to beat. Hey man,

1060
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 5: get in here, like get your scrimmage in here in

1061
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 5: this game, keep your minutes down and bring you off

1062
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 5: the bench and have a more you know, like soft

1063
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 5: opening now full opening later it's crew. I don't know

1064
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 5: how many games they could just say all right, we're

1065
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 5: not gonna play you. But I think Wednesday's gonna be tough,

1066
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 5: considering he hasn't scrimmage yet.

1067
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: Marcus Thompson here of the Athletic joined us on the

1068
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 4: UMA guest line. Derek and I are going to get

1069
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 4: into this later about how they you know, the offseason

1070
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 4: is gonna be a whole the whole thing like it

1071
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: was this passed off about trying to get Yanni's or

1072
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 4: what they land to help staff and what we view

1073
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 4: is maybe the final run next season for this iteration

1074
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 4: of the Warriors. But are they more likely you think,

1075
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 4: to trade for Giannis or to maybe try to go

1076
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 4: sign somebody like Lebron Would that be in the cards.

1077
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 5: I mean, if Lebron is willing to sign for the minimum,

1078
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 5: that's a little bit easier to say. I just say

1079
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 5: neither in the cards, right, Yeah? How many of these

1080
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 5: pipe dreams are gonna be viable at some point? I

1081
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 5: feel like Lebron is more realistic if I'm thinking anything.

1082
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 5: But look look how they're playing right now, like they're

1083
00:40:59,320 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 5: rolling Looke.

1084
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: This great.

1085
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 5: He's found a good role. I just don't know that

1086
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 5: he says I'm moving to the Bay Area number one

1087
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 5: and number two, like I'm gonna give this up. I

1088
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 5: just don't know that that's what Lebron would do now.

1089
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 5: Before when it wasn't going so well and there was

1090
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 5: questions about like whose team it was, et cetera. But

1091
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 5: Lebron wanted ad and he wanted like somebody he can

1092
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 5: turn the reins over to. Like he's got that. Now

1093
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 5: he could pick his spots. He comes to the Warriors

1094
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 5: and gonna be like hey, like hey take the ball

1095
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: from pods and please deliver right that, like the role

1096
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 5: is gonna be. I just feel like it's great in

1097
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 5: La right now. I just don't see him not only

1098
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 5: coming to the Warriors but doing it for the minimum,

1099
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 5: which they kind of that's all they would have.

1100
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: When you look at how this has gone.

1101
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 4: The last few years with the Warrior Brass and trying

1102
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: to build aro own stuff, do you think they've let

1103
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 4: him down? I mean, I know the record would would

1104
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 4: say they haven't been successful. He was putting together would

1105
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: look like, you know, a renaissance type season for his age.

1106
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 4: He's thirty eight years old now. But like I look back,

1107
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 4: not just this past offseason or even last year. ID

1108
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 4: they went out and got Jimmy, but some of that,

1109
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: it feels out of desperation, right, Like part of it

1110
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 4: to me is like were they Was it a bad

1111
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: move to give Draymond the contract? They gave him a

1112
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 4: four year deal for one hundred, but you kind of

1113
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 4: had to do it at that point, even though he

1114
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 4: was maybe out the draw.

1115
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: Already to Memphis.

1116
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 4: How do you view these last couple of years do

1117
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 4: you think they've let Steph down?

1118
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 5: Like? Can we get a violin playing for Steph? I

1119
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 5: got a mini one that's been rough. It's so sad

1120
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 5: they didn't. I think that's a crazy narrative, right. Everything

1121
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 5: they did they did for Steph. Of course, yeah, and

1122
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 5: it's not like he's not in the decision making right,

1123
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 5: Like they won a championship in twenty twenty two and

1124
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 5: they turned around and did the same formula again, Like

1125
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 5: they lost outo Porter, they lost Bley and he went

1126
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 5: and got two more of its trying to run the

1127
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 5: same thing back again. And remember Jermichael Green right right,

1128
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 5: they're like they're doing it for Steph. Like you could

1129
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 5: argue have they been great at it? Like the results

1130
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 5: will probably say no, But like the reason they're in

1131
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 5: this situation is because of step The reason they're doing

1132
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 5: it is because of step and he's involved in it.

1133
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 5: So if they've let him down, then he's let him

1134
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 5: have to do. I think the only thing Steph wants

1135
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 5: is for to compete right at that level, Like that's

1136
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 5: what he wants. I don't like the Comenda situation has

1137
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: been tough. They've been like at ad Juxta, at like

1138
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 5: this kind of crossroads for a long time. But the

1139
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 5: only reason they have been just saying bet forget all this,

1140
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 5: let's cash it in and let's start over is for Steph.

1141
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 5: So the fact to say they let Steph down, they

1142
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 5: would be doing it at Steph's wishes, right at his command,

1143
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 5: Like they put themselves in position to try to compete,

1144
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 5: to try to bolster the roster around Steph like, and

1145
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 5: it hasn't worked, the fact that it hasn't worked don't

1146
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 5: mean he was let down. It means it didn't work, right,

1147
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 5: Like letting Steph down would be getting his Verymond trade

1148
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 5: of everything and putting them around a bunch of players

1149
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 5: he can't win with that. That to me would be

1150
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 5: you're letting Steph down. Like a lot of this is

1151
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 5: because Steph and Draymond and them haven't gotten it done,

1152
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: like Clay right, they were It's game six in LA

1153
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 5: like they were there second round, the playoffs, could have

1154
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 5: went to the finals, could have went to the West Finals.

1155
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 5: If anybody has a game like, that's them, right, That

1156
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: wasn't somebody else like DoD Sadeven Jenzo was on that

1157
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 5: team right, like they had some players. So I just

1158
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 5: think that's a it's a unique thought to say they

1159
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 5: let him down when we saw what what twenty twenty

1160
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 5: twenty was like put him on that scene with like

1161
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 5: Alec Burks and Glenn Robinson the third and be like,

1162
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 5: let's start over with these guys. Sky Bowman, right, just

1163
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 5: be like that.

1164
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, man.

1165
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 2: Talking to Marcus Thompson on the UMA guest line.

1166
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 6: So we know that the organization is going to say, like,

1167
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 6: once Steph returns, the goal is to go on to

1168
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 6: run here. But really I think it's more of an

1169
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 6: evaluation on the other players you know, on the roster,

1170
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 6: and well they'll be impact players going forward. And Brandon

1171
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 6: Pajemski has gotten twenty games without Steph Curry. Steve Kirk

1172
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 6: talked about it at length the other day, and there's

1173
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 6: rumors about what kind of contract he's looking for this offseason.

1174
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 6: At this point, what do you think the organization health

1175
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 6: How does the organization view Brandon Pajemski going forward.

1176
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 5: I don't think that's much different. He's been a very

1177
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 5: productive player in the row he's in. I think they

1178
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 5: don't view him as a guy who's like, all right,

1179
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 5: this show, this year's show right, And he's just had

1180
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 5: a twenty games ample size. They on four games, what

1181
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 5: four or five games since the All Star breaks, like

1182
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 5: this was the period where these young guys could have

1183
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 5: shown what they have. So I think they like him.

1184
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 5: He's a good player. He just he's a good He's

1185
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 5: like a high level role player. I think that's how

1186
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 5: they see him, and the question becomes how much do

1187
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 5: you how much do you want to pay for that

1188
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 5: type of a player. I think that number is high,

1189
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 5: higher than a lot of people would want, Like if

1190
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 5: Suscky Warriors says right, who were kind of hot and

1191
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 5: cold on Pajemski. But the high level role players get

1192
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 5: paid in this league, So the question would be like,

1193
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 5: how much do they want to pay him? How much

1194
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 5: do they want to dig into put pods? But to me,

1195
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 5: if he's in the space for their like him. He's

1196
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 5: gonna play thirty minutes, he's gonna rebound, he's gonna be

1197
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 5: off the floor, he's gonna fit multiple lineups, and he's

1198
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 5: going to be smart about how he looked for a shot.

1199
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 5: If he does that, I think they love him and

1200
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 5: they'll keep them alone time. It also makes them valuable though,

1201
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 5: so with no kaminga, he becomes the chip you can

1202
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 5: trade like on the sign and trade like. He becomes

1203
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 5: now an even more valuable piece that way.

1204
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 4: Marcus, we were talking to Sam Mane Mick last week,

1205
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 4: your colleague at the Athletic covers the NBA, of course,

1206
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 4: and we were asking him about the potential expansion of

1207
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 4: the NBA of the league itself, where the NFL is

1208
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 4: going full global and the NBA is trying to do

1209
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 4: that as well in the Africa League, and all the

1210
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 4: talent that's come over internationally. We've seen the game grow internationally.

1211
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: The Olympics obviously last summer were a blast with the

1212
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 4: team USA winning, but the talent has risen around the

1213
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 4: globe when it comes to the NBA or comes to

1214
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 4: the game of basketball, how do you view what the

1215
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 4: expansion of a league by two teams would do to

1216
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: the talent pool? Because I feel like we're more talented

1217
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 4: than we've ever been, but that doesn't keep guys on

1218
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 4: the court.

1219
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, I do think it helps this

1220
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 5: concept of like injuries, right does you're adding to the

1221
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 5: talent pool, and you know it feels like stinding it

1222
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 5: out with help, you know, I don't I think they

1223
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 5: should expand their rosters even more, like the game is

1224
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 5: going to be decided at the end anyway, like save

1225
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 5: your stars to the end. I do wonder like how

1226
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 5: that's gonna help by sinning the talent pool by expanding it, right, So,

1227
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 5: but you're finding you're looking all of the down look

1228
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: at Gie Santos, Right, these guys, these guys are like

1229
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 5: you could you can see there's players out there who

1230
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 5: can play and with more more roster spots, more opportunity. Yeah,

1231
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 5: like the star, the star dilution will be there, but

1232
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 5: the expansion of like role players and you know, into

1233
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 5: the benches that contribute to me, that increases. You're giving

1234
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 5: other guys like Pat Spencer's of the world more and

1235
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 5: more opportunities, more minutes out there to go grab. I

1236
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 5: think that helps in the long run. I'm mostly just

1237
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 5: like yo, after what four years going to Cleveland in

1238
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 5: years spent in Memphis and you know, hey, man, give

1239
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 5: me Vegas and Seattle. I'll think about this from my perspective,

1240
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 5: you got more teams on the West. What I missed

1241
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 5: the days of going to Key Arena, right, Like going

1242
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 5: to Seattle was lit and you know, Vegas is always

1243
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 5: a good place to go. Like get Memphis out of

1244
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 5: the Western Conference, Like I don't want to this is

1245
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 5: this is insane to me, So yeah, I'm I like it.

1246
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 5: I'm curious of how this impacts, you know, uh, the

1247
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 5: top level of the game, right like, and how how

1248
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 5: these stars position themselves, Like we see this two or

1249
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 5: three get together, right, you see, you know it's not

1250
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 5: like I don't want to say super teams, It's not

1251
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 5: like that anymore. But you are seeing guys kind of say, hey,

1252
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 5: I want to go play with that guy. But now

1253
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 5: there's two more kingdoms opening up, right, and you know

1254
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 5: one of them, Kd's gonna be like, hey, that was mine.

1255
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 5: I started there, like that's my spot. So now I

1256
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 5: wonder does it become more of a our one, you know,

1257
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 5: all right, instead of teaming up, I'd rather be able

1258
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 5: to get my own kingdom here. So that, to me,

1259
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 5: I wonder how it's gonna be on top. But all

1260
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 5: this talk about shortening the seasons and minutes and load

1261
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 5: management and injuries and all that, to me, getting more

1262
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 5: players into the mixed, more players eat minutes, getting more

1263
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 5: of the Gee Santos in there, encourages players, encourages teams

1264
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 5: to not ride their stars for forty minutes and potentially

1265
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 5: wear them down.

1266
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 4: You bring up a good point about like guys owning kingdoms,

1267
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 4: because if we talk all the time about staff playing

1268
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: in one place his whole career, we talk about with Kobe,

1269
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 4: you talk about it with I mean, Katie's bounced around.

1270
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: Of course a bunch of.

1271
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 4: So its Lebron, But you talk about guys who have

1272
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 4: played all of their career in one place. I think

1273
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 4: that's cool and unique, and that's obviously something that's rare now,

1274
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 4: but something another element of that that I wonder if

1275
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 4: this is something that players think about into today's game

1276
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 4: or if young guys think about this when you when

1277
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 4: you talk about making a kingdom your own or putting

1278
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 4: a team on the map, Like it's great to win

1279
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 4: with the Lakers and to do something that all the

1280
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 4: all time grids did. It's great with the Celtics, and

1281
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum joins the lore of the Celtics, but Steph

1282
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 4: Curry is forever associated with the Warriors, and he put

1283
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 4: the Warriors like on the map, like okay See had

1284
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 4: big players, but they didn't win a title and then

1285
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 4: shake Gildas. Alexander has now made oka See a focal

1286
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 4: point of the NBA and a marquee franchise because of

1287
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: what he's been able to do.

1288
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: Do players care about that?

1289
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 4: Do young guys think about that in terms of like, yeah,

1290
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 4: I can go win or play with this guy? But

1291
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 4: does it does does like carving out your piece in

1292
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 4: a place that maybe didn't previously have it. Does that

1293
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: mean anything to young players?

1294
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 5: Oh? No, question, like it matters. I mean that's why. Yeah, right,

1295
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 5: like he go anywhere, but he okay, see he is right,

1296
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 5: that's that's his place now. And again, like you said,

1297
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 5: like other players have been there, they didn't bring a title,

1298
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 5: and officially his number two is Jalen Williams. Right, that's

1299
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 5: not really a threat to SGA stardom, Like that's his palace.

1300
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 5: I mean you could say the same about jan in Milwaukee,

1301
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 5: even though Milwaukee had a prime before, like it did

1302
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 5: have like big O and you know what I'm saying

1303
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 5: and Kareem. I don't know if you want to count

1304
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 5: the big dog reality years, but I'm counting them. But

1305
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 5: but but yeah, like you know, I think Milwaukee Joanna

1306
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 5: feels like like this is my spot and it's hard

1307
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 5: for him to leave it. It's also you know, he's

1308
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 5: very particular about who he's gonna play with clearly, so like, yeah,

1309
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 5: this is a very ego driven business, and you do

1310
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 5: there are some players who are like, hey, I do

1311
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 5: want this. I do want to be able to say

1312
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 5: it's mine. And it's not for nothing either, we are

1313
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 5: talking about, like the financial boom. If if if a

1314
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 5: team is if a company is coming to the Warriors

1315
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 5: and they they wanted they want to do this level

1316
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 5: of business. They want a player and you're going to

1317
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 5: get this amount from it, Like there's no question who's

1318
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 5: getting the first. It reminds me of a story back

1319
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 5: in the day when Baron was a Baron was the

1320
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 5: was the man on the Warriors, and I remember like

1321
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 5: it was I think it was CJ. Watson, Like he

1322
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 5: had some kind of a very small level deal like

1323
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 5: all right, you're gonna be at the subway. I remember

1324
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 5: what it was like, go to the subway, do a

1325
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 5: signing and back then I think you can get like

1326
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 5: five thousand dollars or something. But whoever it was CJ. Watson,

1327
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 5: But whatever it was, it was a big deal because

1328
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 5: he was like a back when it was a D

1329
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 5: League call up right, like he was a D leaguer

1330
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 5: and Baron was like, hey, what what you doing? Like

1331
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, I'm doing this thing. So Baron goes

1332
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 5: to the Warriors It's like, hey, I don't know about this,

1333
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 5: and they were like, yeah, that's nothing. It was too

1334
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 5: small for you. He's like, yeah, but let me turn

1335
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: it down first, all the all the opportunities something to

1336
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 5: me first it was like oh yeah, all right, like

1337
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 5: let me that you now now scale that up to

1338
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 5: something bigger. So if you it's not just ego, it's

1339
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 5: financial opportunity, right, it's it's brand building, it's all that stuff.

1340
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 5: And now with the almost like you know, the the

1341
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 5: elimination kind of of markets where before you had to

1342
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 5: get to New York or LA. Now because you can

1343
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 5: create your own universe anywhere, like now that that's that's

1344
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 5: your chance to do it. I think it's a it's

1345
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 5: an important deal, especially for these young guys coming up.

1346
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 5: I mean, look, aj Dbasa could just take He could

1347
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 5: just be Utah, right yeah, get strapped in Utah like

1348
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 5: he played prep school in Utah, College of Utah, like

1349
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 5: get drafted like that could just be his and there's

1350
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 5: nothing to say he won't just be fine taking all

1351
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 5: of Utah's money right next to you know you have

1352
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 5: a car dealership next to.

1353
00:54:52,960 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: Know it, right, yeah, yeah, exactly a couple more minutes

1354
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 2: with Marcus Thompson on the Yuma guest line.

1355
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 6: Okay, what'd you think of the Jonathan kaminga revenge game.

1356
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 6: I know that some people were kind of anticipating he

1357
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 6: would go off, but I mean, like, I think he

1358
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 6: just has the same role he has on the Hawks

1359
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 6: right now they had with the Warriors, and it was

1360
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 6: not gonna be that case.

1361
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 5: Yes, or on Saturday it was the most fitting joh

1362
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 5: don't think you make a revenge game, right? Yeah? I

1363
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 5: think like nothing happened, like yeah, it was almost like

1364
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 5: a playoff game, like he what he had like one mate, Yeah,

1365
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 5: made one shot.

1366
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 2: Then it was.

1367
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 5: Like come on man, like that was that was a moment. Uh.

1368
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 5: I do think people got a little too excited at

1369
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 5: first when he you know, he's going out. It's not

1370
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 5: like John's gimme that hasn't had your games. He has

1371
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 5: plenty of them. But like the issues are still the same,

1372
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 5: like fitting in. What does he do when they take

1373
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 5: away his drive and they let him shoot right? What

1374
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 5: happens when they forced them to you know, drive into

1375
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 5: traps and he's got to see the floor pass up,

1376
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 5: Like he's still got to solve those things. He just

1377
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 5: has the ability where you think he'll do it. They

1378
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 5: got a lot of wings in Atlanta, so if he

1379
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 5: doesn't do it, they they have no problems sitting them,

1380
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 5: so like he still gotta grow as a player. But yeah,

1381
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 5: I thought I was. I was waiting for a forty

1382
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 5: point game. My laptop was live, you know that that

1383
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 5: blank page with the cursor blinking. Yeah, let's go give

1384
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 5: me something. And it was nothing. Yeah, get out of here?

1385
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: Was it? Uh? Was it?

1386
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 5: Oh? No?

1387
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 4: It was in Where were they gonna do the the

1388
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 4: strip club promotion? Was that in Atlanta?

1389
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: That's right?

1390
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 5: This is from Clark, Atlanta?

1391
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 1: My dad.

1392
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 4: I was thinking, so you guys had a lot of

1393
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,280

00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 6: a cartoon on Adult Swim where t Pain was Freaknick.

Speaker 6: are There are no Krispy Kremes in Atlanta.

1457
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 2: I think Marcus just making it up.

1458
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: I think he was speaking from real experience.

1459
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: I think he knows that there's a Christmas Creame next

1460
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 4: door to the Magic City.

1461
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 2: He probably knows about both.

1462
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: Should I pull up the map?

1463
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 6: Do you want to actually check if it's there? Why

1464
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,880

Speaker 1: I know, my bad.

1468
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 2: We actually haven't donuts in the strip club.

1471
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,080

1474
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,120

1475
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 4: across the highway, but in next door to to Magic City.

1476
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,640

Speaker 4: Curry out for tonight's game.

1479
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: The thoughts they're saying is that it could return Saturday

1480
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: against the Nets.

1481
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 2: Potentially sorry, Wednesday against the Nets.

1482
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Who Wednesday against the Nets.

1483
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't sound.

1484
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 6: Like he'll play on Wednesday either, And so you know

1485
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 6: you're wondering if Easther come back the same night as

1486
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 6: you know, the Giants making their debut opening night.

1487
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 2: But that's not like that's the case either.

1488
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 4: Right now, we'll get into some of that, but also

1489
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 4: I want to talk more about this. What's more likely

1490
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 4: this offseason? Giannis or Lebron? Sam Amock of the Athletic

1491
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 4: Our Buddy said there is a growing, I don't know, expectation, Yeah,

1492
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 4: that that Lebron James will not return.

1493
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: To the LA Lakers.

1494
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 4: That's not surprise, Marcus, I don't know. It seems like

1495
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 4: a long shot. Still, you have to get Lebron to

1496
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 4: come here. What's more likely? Trade free Ghannis or sign Lebron?

1497
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 4: What would you want more? We'll talk about it next

1498
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,800
