He's probably needs a 171 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: little bit more Uh, that's what I'm thinking, little bit 172 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: more seasoning. Nine to four nine says not sure. Gabe 173 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: definitely left Games of all shapes and sizes. Yeah.

The coconut oil. 197 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: That that was well documented and brought up in the 198 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: Phillies press conference when he was introduceds manager. 199 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: How about this, did we uh initialism? Yes? We initialism? 200 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: We lost the wbc US. 201 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the way you uh, you come across 202 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: that game is that we we lost it. 203 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: We lost it. I mean, that's it for for for Durosa, right, 204 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that's it for him as manager 205 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: of Tmusa. You think he went to back to back 206 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: championships and lost them both. Who's going to do that 207 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: job now? I don't know Buck Martinez, who they had 208 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: before you can find. I'm sure there are tons of 209 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: guys would love to manage Tim Usa. Do you think 210 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: he royally f that up enough where he's not going 211 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: to be the manager anymore? No, I just think you've 212 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: done two rounds of it with him, and he definitely 213 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: had There's definitely questions about his his managing in the 214 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: last one, and so I think I just think if 215 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: you lose two of them, that's where it's got to fall, right. 216 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: It's the redeemed team thing and the if you lose it, 217 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: we can't be We've lost twice out of two different 218 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: countries as well, right, So I think you turn around 219 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and go, yeah, we didn't totally like the way all 220 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: this went out. 221 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: Well yeah, today the narrative is that team he Jose 222 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 3: didn't care as much as Team Venezuela, Team Dominican Republic or. 223 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: Team Italy in the championship. They didn't care, I know, 224 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: like it didn't mean as much. I don't think. Yeah, 225 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: were they as passion as those teams? Maybe not. I 226 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: think it just meant more to the other teams because 227 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: the goal of every American kid growing up to play 228 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: baseball is to go win a World Series. Bottom of 229 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: the ninth two hours paces loaded. Absolutely. As we talked 230 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: yesterday with Chris Rose, the goal of every Dominican kid 231 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: is to swing your way off the island, to get 232 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: out of there by playing baseball, and then the dreams 233 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: that come after that are whatever come after that. But 234 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: they don't grow up watching the exact same way, or 235 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: following games in baseball in the same way that we do. 236 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: They're playing ball to get out of there and using 237 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: that as the tool and the vault out of poverty 238 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: or wherever they are, of course, go back and be 239 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: able to give back to their community. They see the 240 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: big legendary Dominican players that have come back over time. 241 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: You're David Ortiz's, you're Johnny Quator who's out there cooking 242 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: big vats of food and playing baseball and bringing gear 243 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: in equipment to all these kids. That's really what it's about. 244 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: There's all these academies. Those guys want to get into 245 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: that and then they want to represent the place that 246 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: they came from. So for them, the goal in the 247 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: dream of baseball is far different than the kid in 248 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: his backyard. He's pretending he's he's Aaron Judge. In Game 249 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: seven of the World Series, you. 250 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 3: Know right, No, I mean I it was clear that 251 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: team Atnezuela, you know, the passion they had, and most 252 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: most of the players last night in the post game 253 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: said this means more to me than winning a World Series. 254 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: And for Team USA, Look, he can't tell me. 255 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: They didn't care because the look on their faces when 256 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: when they knew they were going to lose the game. 257 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: Those are guys that are pissed off. And yes, before 258 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: the triman even started. Bryce Harper, I think kind of 259 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 3: put it the best, saying, look, you know, the WBC 260 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 3: is nice and all, but it's not the Olympics. So 261 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 3: I think that people on Team USA seed a certain way. 262 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: I think that, like I've been saying this whole time, 263 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 3: you know, maybe we're all bummed out today a little bit, 264 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: but really, jibs, fans are caring about next week on 265 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: the season, a more piss fight. 266 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: Tello was down to give the Dodgers what they wanted 267 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: and play eight than I am about the WBC loss. 268 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: I want you again. Well, any this is my whole 269 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: point in all this. It's the biggest game logan webs 270 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: ever pitched. I woke up today. I was like, I 271 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: forgot that they lost until I until I saw it 272 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: on the sheet. That wasn't even at the forefront of 273 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: my mind. Yeah, kind of a cool moment for press. Harper. 274 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 3: By the way, Oh yeah, he was Team America for 275 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 3: an inning or in America. Yeah, Captain America America. 276 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was on the board for or I was 277 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: a producer at that point when the one time TEAMSA 278 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: won it, when was that? 279 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: That was? 280 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Uh, it would have been three ago, right, because I 281 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: think they won it and they lost. I think they've 282 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: been to three straight championships they yeah, yeah, that's right, 283 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: because they've only won one and that the one that 284 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: they won, I believe was the first ever championship. They 285 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: went to H six six. I want to say Japan 286 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: won panby Cuba in the first one, and then I 287 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: want to say maybe it was I want to say 288 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: Korea went to a final at one point in Japan 289 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: won a couple of them. I want to say, I 290 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: think they have the most. I think they do. Yeah, 291 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: I want to say Porto Rico might down to a 292 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: final at one point, the one that was in San Francisco. 293 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: Maybe that was against Japan. Can't remember exactly. Bottom line 294 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: his TSA did not go for a while because the 295 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: first iteration of the WBC for for Team USA and 296 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: O six it was a lot of aging guys. It 297 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: was like Bonds was on the team, Clemens was on 298 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the team. I think Griffy was on there. Like it 299 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: was sick in terms of the legends that played, But 300 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: how much did those guys care? Right, Like, how little 301 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 1: did they? I don't know, say what Buck Martinez and 302 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: the manager then like those guys, but now we got 303 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: to a point where we're like guys at the peak 304 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: of their powers in their prime are playing in it 305 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: right now. No, I'm I'm with you on that. 306 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: And I also would say, like, yeah, for last night, 307 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: it was fun to watch Bryce Harper having his moment 308 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: and then in Henneo Suarez doing his thing, you know, 309 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 3: getting in the lead for Team of Venezuela and then 310 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: like his postgame interview was electric. Those guys, you know them, 311 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 3: that momentent a lot to them. For Team USA, yes, 312 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 3: it would have been nice, but these guys care more 313 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 3: about winning for the Phillies or the Yankees or the Giants. 314 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: And honestly, for me as a fan, if they would 315 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: have won last night, cool, but I really don't care 316 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: that much. Like I'll be completely honest, Team USA winning 317 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: in hockey's awesome, but I care more about the San 318 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 3: Jose Sharks winning a championship a couple of years ago. 319 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: Last night, by the way, I didn't like that. I 320 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: don't know about playoffs. I didn't like that at all. 321 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: We'll talk about there's there's still sixteen games left in 322 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 3: the season. But a couple years ago, when Team USA 323 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 3: won in basketball, Steph created an all time moment. 324 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: I care more about the Warriors winning a championship. 325 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: Sure, those are nice moments to you know, have us 326 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: all Steph got that moment? Yes, but it's all great 327 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 3: moments for us to come together as American sports fans. 328 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: But in reality we are. 329 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: We are sports fans for our teams, our teams that 330 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: are here locally. So you know, I think people just 331 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 3: up in arms are gonna nitpick little things about about uh, 332 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 3: the WBC today because we lost. But in reality, it 333 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: was great for Venezuela, it was great for Team Italy, 334 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 3: it was great for the Dominican Republic, it was great 335 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 3: for Korea.

It's 415 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 3: not the World Champions. 416 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 4: You know. 417 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I always saw, like we 418 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: call it the warl World Series. So I was cool 419 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: with calling baseball the World champions. They're the world champ 420 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: And that goes back to like the twenties. We used 421 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: to have you know, the or a turn of the 422 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: century the World's Fair. Yeah. Yeah, we had comic which 423 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: the world's Finest that used to come out as like 424 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: Batman and Superman combo issues every year. 425 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: The World's Fair isn't a part of that bat Like 426 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 3: it's it's part of Batman comic, isn't. 427 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: It's a corporate minus is what you're thinking? Oh, World 428 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: town is Fair is just the I mean the World's 429 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that that was how did advertise things. 430 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: So I was like, you you blow it up, and 431 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: I was, okay, you call it the World Series. You 432 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: caught the world champion, the same as I was always 433 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: down with Super Bowl winner as the Super Bowl Champion. 434 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: And then at some point in like the last champs, 435 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: maybe in the last twenty or third, like I think 436 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: it's in our lifetime Jarreck that they started calling because 437 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: they didn't used to do that, Like. 438 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: I think I think it's before US Man. You think 439 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: Brett Farve said world champions. I thought they were just 440 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: I think like Vill Simms was saying, like world champions. 441 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they were, and maybe I just didn't become aware 442 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: of it. But I always felt like in football it 443 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: was more ridiculous. Of course. I was always like, of 444 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: course it is, but in Japan they ain't doing this. 445 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like NFL plays like NFL Europa, and 446 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 3: then we have like the World Champion. Yeah, like okay, 447 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 3: so Defork Broncos take on the Ryan Fired and see 448 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: for the World Champions exactly. 449 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: So that's where I'm like, dude, these are going to 450 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: kick their ass. These are the world champions. Venezuela are 451 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: the champions of the world seven x seven sy is 452 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: yet one hundred percent over that WBC loss. WBC is 453 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: nowhere close to the level or to the level in 454 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: the USA of the World Cup or the gold medal 455 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: round of hockey or even the gold medal in basketball. 456 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: You really want players to give an f short in 457 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: the regular season by seven games in a WBC year, No, 458 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean I agree with that, And this is like this, 459 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: this is. 460 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: Definitely divisive on the text line where some people are like, 461 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: I care, I love the WBC, and some people are like, man, 462 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 3: the WBC is the NBA subber league for MLB, and 463 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that, but it is fun and we 464 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 3: all watch it, and yes it does mean a little 465 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: bit more to Venezuela and Dominican Republic and Italy. But 466 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: at the same time, like the I don't think that 467 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 3: team USA didn't care. But I think it's just the 468 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: mentality of expectations and I'll never forget. Like I think 469 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: Mark Schlera says in the uh the the what is it? 470 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: Uh?

Ninety eight 475 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 3: it was just relief because there were so much expectations, like, ah, 476 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: I could just finally relax because I finally did this 477 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 3: with Team USA. With baseball, it's kind of like that, 478 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 3: or I think they kind of treated like business and yeah, 479 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: like with the US mentality of baseball, it's, you know, 480 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 3: you don't show anybody up. 481 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: You you know you you you're humble, you you know. 482 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: With with with Team uh, you know, Dominican Republic or Venezuela, 483 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: they brought more flavor to it. 484 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: They they brought more excitement to it. 485 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that anybody on Team USA didn't 486 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 3: have that, but at the same time, like, yes, they 487 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: saw it his more business and expectations and though guys 488 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: really were playing with joy, as Steve Kerr would call it. 489 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that today, like there's a lot 490 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: of narratives out there, like Mark de Rosa was in 491 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: over his head, why why didn't he go to Mason 492 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: Miller in the ninth inning? We're just really nippicking things 493 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: when really we just lost.

I think he's done voices. I 511 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: think I've seen him in like Law and Order, Like 512 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: I think he's done a whole bunch of stuff that 513 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: I've seen him in. I just couldn't pinpoint the name. 514 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's in the movie stripes. 515 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in stripes exactly, is Yeah, he's in stripes. 516 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 5: Yeah.

The way America's going 518 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 5: right now. 519 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: We deserve it, all right. 520 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, but anyway, that's my take on it. You know, 521 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 5: I miss you guys that we should come out in 522 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 5: and visit. 523 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: Oh dude, well yeah, well we're hoping to get back 524 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: out there. I did in November. I know we weren't 525 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: in Honolulu. It's that's almost never where they send us. 526 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call them Marty, thanks so much, dude. 527 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 1: I just uh yeah, we love getting out there. 528 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: Man. 529 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: We had a lot a lot of listeners in the Hawaii. 530 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: Well you've you've been three times though, I think I've 531 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: been three, but each time has been the Big Island. 532 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: It hasn't been a wat I think they used to 533 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: last time, and yeah, yeah, that's where I've been all 534 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: three times. Used to. I think it's three, maybe two 535 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 1: maybe three. I think of it was for me. 536 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: You've done three? Wait, hold on, do we take a 537 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: year off year off in between? Yeah, but you've done three. 538 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: I did one. We'll see if we do another Okay, 539 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm moving on here more a away came here four one, five, eight, eight, five, 540 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: six two seven four weights is what about a best 541 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: of three for the WBC playoff? Now too long? What 542 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: Chris Rose was saying is the way to make this 543 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: work and to give it a sidement is to do 544 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: it like we've experienced in season with the NHL and 545 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: the Olympics, where he said, if you want to make 546 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: it a bigger thing, and you do it as a 547 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: two week tournament, give a gap of time in the 548 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: middle of the season, and do it around the All 549 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: Star Game. And I'm with him where I'm like, if 550 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: you want to make this count for something, do it 551 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: a tournament, play in the middle of the season around 552 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. That would be fun to do 553 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: every few years. I think it's fine where it is, 554 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: but you'd have to shave games up. I guess if 555 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you don't want it to grow anywhere else, if you 556 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: want to grow it here, Okay, that's the way to 557 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: do it. Okay, let me ask you. 558 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: Is the only way for this to actually grow as 559 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 3: if for it to be a part of the Olympics like. 560 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: That, That's what I think. Like the WBC on its own. 561 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: It's fun. 562 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: But like as Bryce Harper said, the Olympics carry more weight, 563 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 3: but it was in the. 564 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: Olympics all that. The thing is we've had we had 565 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: baseball in the Olympics for a really long time and 566 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: nobody seemed to carry that much. I think that it'll 567 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: it'll get back. I think if you put major leaguers 568 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: in it, then yes, but I don't think we used 569 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: to have major leaguers in the Olympics. Well do it now? 570 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: And I know like some people are seeing today, like 571 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 3: should you have minor leaguers in there because they'll care 572 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 3: a little bit more or the opportunity. No, you want 573 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,239 Speaker 3: the best of the best. It's just it is what 574 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 3: it is. Do you expect it to be on the 575 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: same level as the Olympics. No, But if you make 576 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: it a part of the Olympics, and I think people actually. 577 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Care a little bit more. I don't totally disagree now 578 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: that you didn't like this WBC's the Summer League of 579 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: the NBA. I dealt what this guy is saying. No, 580 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: the text the. 581 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: First if I was saying, I just disagree where Summer 582 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: League is unwatchable and nobody cares. 583 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: People cared about the WBB so well, he's saying, the 584 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: stars show up and remind you their stars. Fringe does 585 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: show up to become somebody, and everybody else is one 586 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: good runaway from a contract or one bat outing from disappearing. 587 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: The only difference Summer League gets you a deal. WBC 588 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: just gets you a moment. That's that's kind of the truth. 589 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: A TOOA came here. Four one five eight eight five 590 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: sixty seven is the number to call and the number 591 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: the text, dude four O eight. It's really upset about 592 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: some guy calling from Hawaii. Here's a nice guy man. Yeah, 593 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: the dude to call it incredibly nice shot out, Marty. 594 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: We lost another caller there. Aha, came to our four one, 595 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: five eight eight five sixty twenty seven the number to 596 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: call and the number to text. Why don't we hear 597 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: from Bryce Harper? 598 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: Here? 599 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper? This is before the tournament. Yeah, did he 600 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: say it best before the tournament. Here's what Bryce had 601 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: to say before the tournament about the w You see 602 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: no disrespect, but everyone's watching the Olympics. Here you go. 603 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been fighting for LA twenty eight for a 604 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 6: long time. I think my whole career, I've been trying 605 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 6: to get you know, something started or something coming up. Obviously, 606 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 6: the WC has been great, but it's not the Olympics, right. 607 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 6: That's no disrespect to the w C or anything, but everybody 608 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 6: knows that when the Olympics are on, everybody's watching. Don't 609 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 6: matter what sport it is, it could be the most 610 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 6: random sport and it's got you know, all the fans 611 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 6: watching it. So I'm hoping, you know, LA twenty happens. 612 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 6: I'm hoping the next CBA agreement something can can you know, 613 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 6: happen where teams and players can come to an agreement 614 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 6: on taking that two week break, especially being you know, 615 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 6: in our home country. You know it'd be great for baseball. 616 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 6: You talk about growing the game, and uh, you know, 617 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 6: being able to grow it at that at the highest 618 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 6: level would help out tremendously. 619 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree hundred percent what I'm saying. Though, 620 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: if you can get the players to agree to take 621 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: a two week bread to do the Olympics, why wouldn't 622 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: you agree to do that same thing for the WBC 623 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: when it happens. Couldn't we do the same thing around 624 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: all start time in the middle of the season and 625 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: do it in the summer, take a chunk of time out. 626 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying is, if we're going to organize 627 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: it to do it for the Olympics, why wouldn't you 628 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: do it for your own individual World Cup game like 629 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: we do for the World Cup and the euro and 630 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: all these other countries and organizations do for global soccer 631 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: and for the NHL with the Olympics, like if you're 632 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: going to give an Olympic break, if you want to 633 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: have the WBC and continue to grow this thing globally, 634 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: and the only way, by the way, that it continues 635 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: to stay in the Olympics outside of being in your 636 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: own host country is for it to grow globally. So 637 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: they want this to grow. They want to be able 638 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: to have Japan host and say we're putting in baseball. 639 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: They want to host. They want to have other countries 640 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: at host and say we're putting it in Italy now 641 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: because we've got twenty years later, now we've grown a 642 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: foundation of baseball players because of what happened in the WBC. 643 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: It's what the NBA is doing. It's why that gold 644 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: medal game had so much wait a couple of years ago. Right, 645 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: the NBA is a global game now, it used to 646 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: be the biggest sport. At one point it was like 647 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: the fastest growing and biggest sport I think one of 648 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: the most watched in the United States. The NFL is 649 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: far and away surpass both of those, and I would 650 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: argue that baseball has even done a better job of 651 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: getting more eyeballs on their sport than the NBA has. 652 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: In the last five years. Baseball's made the adjustments, the 653 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: NBA continues to be the same kind of lame, boring, 654 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 1: dull product with none of the players play in all 655 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: the games. They had to make rules that players can't 656 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: win awards unless they play a percentage or a number 657 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: of games in a season, and that hasn't affected anything. 658 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: It hasn't changed or been a deterrent for anything. You're 659 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: telling me steps not gonna win MVP. Now, I'm telling you. 660 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's not happening. Damn you can't. He's 661 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: not eligible. But more to the point is like the 662 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: players don't play in the NBA, and the best players 663 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: don't play enough, And when they tell me themselves that 664 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: they don't care, why should I care? That said, all 665 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: the best players all wanted to be out there for 666 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: every minute. And I mean everybody was talking about how 667 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: bad it was that Jason Tatum didn't get a chance 668 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: to play because of the way that Steve Kirk coached that. 669 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: Who gives a damn we're talking coaching decisions because there 670 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: was so much talent. Those were some of the most 671 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: fun basketball memories any of us will ever have. Of course, 672 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: so Lebron dominance the run that they had to go 673 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: on staph at the end with k D and Lebron 674 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: on the floor, it's unbelieving. That stuff is incredible. I 675 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: love that stuff, But does that have the same weight 676 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: if the game doesn't grow globally the way that Adam 677 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: Silver has been been spirited. I mean, they've what they've 678 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: got this whole Basketball Africa League. Now you're gonna get 679 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: tons of more players out of there. I mean, as 680 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: evidence by how far down the list. I say this 681 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: to you all the time. If we were gonna rank 682 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: all the players in the NBA at like best to worst, 683 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: how far down the list would we have to go 684 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: before we hit the first American? We probably have to 685 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: go five or six, Like, who's the best American player 686 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: right now? Anthony Edwards? Yes, he's not the best player 687 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: in the league. No, he's not. I thought at one 688 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: point in time he could be, but right now he'd 689 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: probably be five or six. I mean, I'm going, in 690 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: no order, in no order, let's go all the guys 691 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: that we would put above Anthony Edwards, Shay Goes Out, Xander, Yeah, 692 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: Victor Reminana Luka, Jannis, j Jokichi guys right there, and 693 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: they're all international, Yeah, every one of those dudes. Yeah, 694 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: And I mean you can make a case that maybe 695 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: he's better than you want to say he's over yanis 696 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: now Okay, fine, I don't think so, but I wouldn't 697 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: say that you want to make that argument. I'll hear Yana. 698 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: I don't agree with you all here you on it, 699 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: but I'm still going. You're still going five guys or 700 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: four guys who could play before him. And we're talking 701 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: like multiple countries there, Rock in Greece, we're talking Slovenia, 702 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: We're talking worse Jokics. 703 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 7: From uh somewhere, Russia. Serbia is Serbian, Yeah, I think so. 704 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 7: And then I mean, then you've got Canada, We're talking 705 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 7: like five and France. Five different countries represented there before 706 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 7: you even get to the first American born player will 707 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 7: we You would never get that in baseball. You'd get 708 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 7: Otani far and away the best, and then we've got 709 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 7: probably a mix of Americans, maybe some Dominicans, maybe Venezuelan, 710 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 7: but it's really like three to four different countries represented 711 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 7: in the NBA. 712 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: It's overwhelming how glad global the game has gotten. If 713 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: baseball wants any of that on the global stage, you've 714 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to grow the game 715 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: within the bounds of your baseball season. And I think 716 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Olympics in getting a stoppage or a WBC break in 717 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: season is not something that other teams or other leagues 718 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: have shied away from. It's better. I think it's better 719 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: to do it like that. And I don't mean like 720 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: NBA tournament style, I mean like Olympic hockey breaks. 721 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: Now, no, I'm with you, like either way, you're going 722 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 3: to have a three week break where you're interrupting the season. 723 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: But my thing is, though, the Olympics holds so much 724 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: more weight than the WBC. Like, let's be honest, we 725 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 3: are not a hockey watching country. And if it was 726 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 3: the hockey, you know tournament classic will be watched. That 727 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 3: probably not because it's in the Olympics. We were all 728 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: watching that. So if you get some of the biggest 729 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 3: stars in baseball to participate in the Olympics, people are 730 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: watching that, and then there's more interest in the second 731 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 3: half of the season. Like, let's be honest too, I 732 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 3: know that baseball right now is doing a little bit 733 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: better than basketball, but baseball is struggling as well. 734 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: If you get these guys on the biggest. 735 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 3: Stage and then we're all invested in like we were 736 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: back in the nineties, and I haven't felt that way 737 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 3: in a long time with baseball as far as a 738 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 3: national sport. If you get this team in or sorry, 739 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 3: if you get this this sport in the Olympics, I 740 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,719 Speaker 3: think that people care more, Like as far as us 741 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 3: as fans and I think team you would say, here's 742 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: a little bit more as well. 743 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: Somebody out here on the text Len says, forget if 744 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: five roars as dude, forget WBC bring back the Babe 745 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: Ruth Barnstorming Tours. It was that dude that used to 746 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: be like in the in the off season, what would 747 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: happen is, uh, you'd get every every off season they 748 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: would take a collection of like the best players in 749 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: baseball back in like the twenties and thirties, and it 750 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: probably woldn't even further back, and they would they would 751 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: travel around the country or the world and try to 752 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: grow the game in places that like Baby Ruth would 753 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: go like play against Negro League teams and play against 754 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: Satchel Page. Right, you go to like Egypt and he 755 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: play in front of the Sphinx. You'd like, no, no joke. 756 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: They were like, there's there's all sorts of stories about 757 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: that and photos, and these guys were traveling the globe 758 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: trying to grow the game of baseball, like take it 759 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: to other parts of the world, right, and and it's 760 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: incredible the kind of stuff that they didn't think. Maze 761 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: did it. A lot of legends did it. But you 762 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: don't really have to do barnstorming anymore. And we've got 763 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: the Internet and ways to push that out. But it's 764 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: kind of like what the Savannah Bananas have done, right, 765 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: traveling around and bringing their product. I finally started to 766 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: see people Savanna banas have. I don't know when we'll 767 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: think they've jumped the shark, but they've well, they're now 768 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: doing full stadiums, like they're going to different full all 769 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: the popular cell. Yeah, but I saw a couple of 770 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: baseball fans were tweeting out like, if you like baseball, Savannah, 771 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: bananas is terrible. Well, yeah, if you're a baseball fan, 772 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: the bananas are not something it's hard chroters of baseball. 773 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: It's it's not real baseball. 774 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 3: It's fun and I know why Eric Burns has evolved 775 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 3: with it, and you know it's it's it's fun. 776 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: People go out to it. It's it's a weird thing. 777 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: But it's not real baseball. Come on now, yeah, it's 778 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: not anoa Cambre four and five eight eight, five, six 779 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: two seven if you want to check it on any 780 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: more of the WBC. But the most frustrating part of 781 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: last night was not the WBC loss Sharks. It was 782 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: the Sharks falling five three. I agree with you to 783 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: the oil. I didn't like that. Now we'll get into 784 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: that next week. How we feel in sixteen to play 785 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: about the Sharks playoff chances here as they sit just 786 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: outside that second wild card spot, it is bunched up though, 787 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: yeah it's bunched out. 788 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're losing ground there for that second wild 789 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 3: card lost ground. 790 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: But again they're kind of like right in the middle 791 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: of the pack with everybody else, but you're basically vying 792 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: for one wild card spot there. 793 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it does get easier. You got the Sabers 794 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 3: coming into town tomorrow night, and then. 795 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: We see the black Hawks on Monday, April six We'll 796 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: be out there in the suite Dirty Work live from 797 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: the Tank on April sixth. All right, well, take a 798 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: quick break when we come on back. Sharks lose to 799 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: the Oilers last night. They fall five three to Edmonton. 800 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: Lost drops them into fourth in the wild card standings. 801 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: A point back to the Kraken and the Kings. I 802 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: don't like the Kings and the crack. We'll talk about 803 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: that night, Cracked Dirty Work falls on Sharks getting cracked 804 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: on these sports later
