00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him about the goal of the YU. Yeah,

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: as well as Boston, right, yeah, yeah, as well as

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: by the way, Sharks they pulled it out last night.

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: Oh they did it.

19
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: Came from behind. They were down early right now, it's

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: him I wrong on that.

21
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: I know they new they got in.

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 5: They were down real early than they came back. Then

23
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 5: they got a four to two lead, then they surrendered

24
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 5: the lead and then scored with twenty one seconds six.

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying they were down early, came back,

26
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: blew it, and then came back again.

27
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: Another classic Clutch Sharks victory for the We'll.

28
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Talk to William Ecklin about all that, but what we

29
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: got to get into is, you know I saw on

30
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: TV you had Matt Chapman after Willia Domas hand he

31
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: had the grab bag in his hands. Lea Damas had

32
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: the the bottle or whatever it was to give to

33
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: Vitel after his first win, and Matt Chapman was sitting there, Dude,

34
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: I got something for you too. And if I tell

35
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: us like I thought of in mind, it was this

36
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: big old potato sack looking.

37
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: If I want fell having the grab back two words.

38
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: In an acronym, and what it said was NBA grab bag.

39
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: No your NBA grab back for Tuesday, March thirty first

40
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty six, and it starts where else than

41
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: the NFL. The NFL's approved some rule changes today at

42
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: the league meetings in Phoenix. How about this. You're in

43
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: for some new rules. The NFL's officiating department can now

44
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: correct clear and obvious errors. Made by on field officials

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: in the event of a workstoppage involving the league's regular

46
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: game officials. So we talked about this yesterday. If they

47
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: don't come to an agreement with the NFL referees, said,

48
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: it's a contendency plan in case that we have replacement referees.

49
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: And my thing is, and you're alread admitting that these

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: guys are going to screw up, So I think this

51
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: is dumb. It's nice having.

52
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 6: A case of emergency, but let's hope we get the

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 6: real officials officiating games this year.

54
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 2: I'm absolutely with it. Here's another rule change. On side

55
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: kicks can now be attempted at any point in the game.

56
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: It used to be only in the final two minutes.

57
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: They change it too right now.

58
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 6: I don't know why we did that. A year ago,

59
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 6: I didn't like anything with a kickoff rule. I didn't

60
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: really mind it, but I don't love it. I love

61
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: traditional kickoffs in the NFL. So if we can do

62
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 6: on site kicks at any point in the game, I'm

63
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: down for that. I love the I mean, you've got

64
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 6: to announce.

65
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: It's going to be a surprise on so I cannot

66
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: have it at any point but you still have to

67
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: announce it. It used to be announced inside too many.

68
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know what, we shoul get rid of

69
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 6: that too, because I loved when shourprises and the Saints

70
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 6: did that coming out of the third quarter when they

71
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 6: were down in the Super Bowl.

72
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: If we got rid of that, then we're just back

73
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: to the old rule, right, Yeah, I mean, honestly back

74
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: to the original I.

75
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: Understand for safety purposes, but.

76
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Like, come on, So modifications to the kickoff rule as

77
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: far as the landing zone and alignment have also been changed.

78
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 4: I mean that's big for a year ago.

79
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 6: Remember when we hated the outcome of that Cardinals and

80
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 6: Seahawks changes.

81
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Yet because of if you kick it in, don't land

82
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: in the landings and you get the balls of penalty.

83
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a penalty. It's rickets.

84
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: It's too it's too much of an have an advantage.

85
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: League personnel can consult with on field officials now when

86
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: considering disqualifications for both flagrant acts and non football acts

87
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: without being called on the field. Basically like when DK

88
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: Metcalf slapped that fan in Detroit, the league can call

89
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: down and say, hey, we have video of this. He's

90
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: outside of the game or outside of the field, he

91
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: needs to be ejected from the name.

92
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 6: Rand's gonna be very interesting during a game when obviously

93
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 6: you're refereed in the moment, is it call penalty?

94
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: So as it's off the field, he's not watching it,

95
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: he's watching on field.

96
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 6: That's gonna piss off some fans, gonna piss off some players.

97
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 6: But I think a year ago we saw with DK

98
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 6: metcalf slap in that fan that that needs to be changed.

99
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Moving on here in the NBA grab bag. The NFL

100
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: has also announced that Hard Knocks this season will feature

101
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champions. It's the first time that's

102
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: ever happened in the show's history because they changed all

103
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: of the qualifications for Hard Knocks, which in my mind

104
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: made Hard Knocks more irrelevant, like the I liked the

105
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: pot of the Hard Knock documentary. Meaning, this coach needs

106
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: to do it this year. He's got a make or break.

107
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: It can't be a team that made the playoffs the

108
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: last year, and it can't be a first or previous

109
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: two or first year head coach, meaning it's a team

110
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: that's either on the rise or on the decline. Right,

111
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: and now we're just getting check out what we did

112
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: last year and see if we can repeat it.

113
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I understand it gives you more of a

114
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 6: pool to choose from, but at the same time, I'm

115
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 6: with you, there needs to be a criteria because, as

116
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: you'll see here, when you announce the teams, a lot

117
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 6: of teams are saying no, and the NFL's calling on him,

118
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: being like, no, you need to to do it eventually.

119
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: Here the league has also announced that the Patriots are

120
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 2: now locked in as the team for twenty twenty seven.

121
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: Why because the league hears all the time for teams

122
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: that they'll do it next year, and they wanted to

123
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: hold the team to it. So the Patriots said, not

124
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: this season, We'll do it next season. And they said, okay,

125
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: now you got a year to get ready for it.

126
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

127
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of crazy, but I understand where

128
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 6: so many teams are saying we don't want to do it.

129
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 6: And an interesting point from Tim Kallakamia last night with

130
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 6: his news was announced, he suggested that the reason why

131
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 6: the forty nine ers get screwed so much on schedule,

132
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 6: whether it's two road games.

133
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: Starts, they're not doing hard notch just because they almost

134
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: play ball.

135
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you this if you're the Niners, yeah,

136
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: and Niner fans faithful, if you're out there, I know

137
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: you are. Would you rather have your team go to

138
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: Australia and Mexico and set the record for NFL yards

139
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: NFL miles traveled in a season or would you rather

140
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: them be on hard knocks?

141
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: Hard knocks? I mean for fans who cares?

142
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: What would a coach rather?

143
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 6: I mean, well, of course for Kyle shannyhow there's a

144
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 6: reason why he's never agreed to this.

145
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: Well like okay, Well, my thing is they didn't say, okay, Kyle,

146
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: it's this or this. So what do you Thinkyle would choose?

147
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Traveler hard Knights?

148
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 6: Probably hard knocks, even though he would hate it and

149
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 6: do all those interviews, but it's screwing his team over.

150
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't want to do that during pre

151
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: season and training cap a preseason. Really.

152
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 6: The truth is, though Kyle Shana was interviewed today and

153
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 6: he knows for a fact, the Rams were gonna be

154
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 6: an Australia team regardless. They lobby to play the forty

155
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 6: nine ers because they're home games are taken over by.

156
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: Forty nine Er fans.

157
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: All the time on once they were going to play,

158
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: once it was going to be the Rams. I told

159

Speaker 2: you it's got to be a West Coast take. I

160
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: think it makes the most sense. You can say they

161
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: lobbied for it. Also, it made the most sense.

162
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: So the Niners were in that time.

163
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 6: When it comes to hard knocks, eventually Kyle Shane can't

164
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 6: say we're not gonna do this.

165
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,040

Speaker 2: many people called him that last season, like he's got

174
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,839

Speaker 6: Oh, the franchise would have been fine, the Cleveland Browns

215
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,200

00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: to reach out after watching your incredible leadership on display

257
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: during the World Series.

258
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: Now how about that.

259
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 6: Steve Kerr is a people person, and you don't see

260
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 6: people doing handwritten letters anymore.

261
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: So good for him. My thought, though, I've go ahead.

262
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: Your thought is exactly where my thought is. I think.

263
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: If I'm John Schneider, yeah, I'm like, that's nice bus you,

264
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: but your team kicked my Dodger fan.

265
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 4: Exactly, Steve Kerr.

266
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: It's it's it's that's nice, but come on, now, you

267
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: know it's it's exactly like when I was on on

268
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: Murph and Mac and the Warriors lost to the Raptors

269
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: in the finals. Yeah, and the Warriors took out a

270
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: full page ad in Toronto's paper congratulating Toronto and the

271
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: city on their first ever championship. Were usually blah blah blah. Yeah,

272
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: and uh they were praising it. And Raymond Ridder I

273
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 2: think it texted into Murph telling him about that. Yeah,

274
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: and I said it could being like, hey, Murph, could

275
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: you ask Ritterer if we did the same thing in Cleveland? Yes, Seriously,

276
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't I get the feeling we did what I thought,

277
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: do we have sympathy for Toronto? I think Raymond said,

278
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: we'll get back to you.

279
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 4: It was a pretty good line on No, that's why

280
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: he's the best of the business.

281
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: It was a little bit different. I was like, it's

282
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: sort of about who you lose to and how you lose.

283
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: But also Steve was like, hey, we want to feel

284
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: good about righting there.

285
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 8: No.

286
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 6: I mean, John Schneider is a good manager with the

Speaker 6: Blue Jam, A great dude. No, he's a great dum's leaders.

288
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,959

00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,640

295
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: serious rumor about himself. I saw this. Shaq took time

00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: Shaq slid into Sabrina Carpenter's d MS to ask if

Speaker 2: he had to address this rumor.

308
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,240

Speaker 4: This is Sabrina.

314
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeahbrik.

315
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: I was something like a jingle for this.

316
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: Anyway, the whole encounter was the all encounter was fake

317
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: and screenshot on social media. I think we can all

318
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: sleep better at night knowing the Shack it's not asking

319
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: beautiful artists for their their farts in a bottle so

320
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: they can. Yeah, I'm glad he uh spread he he

321
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: got to this and made sure we all knew that he.

322
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 6: Wasn't doing this by putting farts in a cologne bottle

323
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 6: and having its spray all over her.

324
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: I said, to talk about gift first, she gotta.

325
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 5: Geral insurance.

326
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 6: I don't think Shak needs to do that. I think

327
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 6: Shack has enough material on a podcast. He doesn't need

328
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 6: to stoop down to this level. It be like, no,

329
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 6: I didn't put.

330
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 4: My farts in a bottle Papa John's. Yeah exactly.

331
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't give Papa Johns. I got you a couple

332
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: of pieces for me and then you give me some

333
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: of those farts.

334
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 4: Yeah. Kind of a weird move by Shaquille O'Neal there.

335
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird to address it, really weird to address.

336
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: It, everybody, to address every roomor out there.

337
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: I just want to clear the funny because it doesn't

338
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: seem like that's what you wanted to do. Yeah, that's

344
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: Giants got their first win last night. Ryan Walker got

345
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: the save, but not without drama. Mi Krugez spoke about

346
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: Ryan Walker this morning on the Morning Show. We'll get

347
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 2: that to your next Dirty Work on a Tuesday on

Speaker 1: Am The Sports Leader.

352
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: Ryan Walker throws swinging.

353
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: There's a high drive in the deep right field and

354
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 3: that ball is gone. That was his slider. That's the

355
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: one to swing in that and Marroll hits a long

356
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: one out of here with plenty of displayer and it's

357
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: a one run game.

358
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Dirty Work is sponsored by Jack's Restaurant. And bar and

359
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: all day any day kind of plays.

360
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: Giant's gonna win. Last night three to two, the final

361
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: over the padres back in action, and tonight five forty

362
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: pre game six to forty, first pitch, and we talked

363
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: about it Derek yesterday on the pregame show and during

364
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: the show said it was interesting. We all kind of

365
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: presumed and assumed that it was going to be Ryan

366
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: Walker in the ninth inning in a safe situation, being

367
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: that he's the guy with the most closer experience in

368
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: the pen and has done it for the Giants. But

369
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: we also know that he earned the role going into

370
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: last year, lost the role and never really regained the

371
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: form that he had two seasons ago, didn't have nearly

372
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: as many strikeouts. The home run ball became a problem

373
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: for him last year. And so since we didn't see

374
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: a safe situation in the first couple of days for

375
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: three games, we didn't really know yet. We talked about

376
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: Keaton win stuff and how good he looked now. He

377
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: looked like he had some closer stuff. Ryan Walker comes

378
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: out for the nine with a three nothing lead. It's

379
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: as good of a save situation as you can ask

380
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: for a three nothing cushion, nobody on base, and he

381
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: comes in and he watchs the lead off guy, which

382
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: is the number one thing a relief pitcher and a

383
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: closer specifically can't do, ends up getting a couple outs

384
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: and then gives up a two run homer and then

385
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: ends up getting out of the game, but not before

386
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: he brings the tying run to the plate. So the

387
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: reaction to Ryan Walker. He gets his first save, but

388
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: not without some fireworks by he got through it. The potters,

389
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: he got through it. Nailing it down is one thing,

390
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: but he got through it. He had seven blown saves

391
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: last year, yeah, and a four point one to one

392
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: across sixty eight appearances. And really for me, it was

393
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: the strikeouts down against right handed pitching.

394
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: I mean, let's just be honest.

395
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 6: Ryan Walker got this job back by default because there's

396
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: so many question marks with the bullpen right now, and there's.

397
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: A debate maybe that.

398
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 6: I mean, he didn't close a ton last year, but

399
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 6: Rady Rodriguez, if he didn't get hurt with Tommy John,

400
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: maybe he is the closer for this team going forward.

401
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 6: But now it's Ryan Walker, and I don't think he's

402
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 6: gotten over his problems from a year ago, he did

403
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 6: not look confident. Yesterday again he got through it. He

404
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 6: got Tatis out, he got a shot out, and he

405
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 6: got boat guards out. But again he gave up that

406
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 6: home run to Merrill. So we'll see going forward. I

407
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 6: think it's only a matter of time though, and you

408
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 6: want to see him keep this job. You want to

409
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 6: see him regain that confidence in.

410
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: Case for everybody if he nails it down or finds

411
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: a role there, and even if he didn't nail it

412
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: down completely, if he pitches well enough to where if

413
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: he loses the job, it's because somebody came and took

414
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: it from him, not because he was an absolute hazard.

415
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 6: But I will say this, I did like that if

416
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 6: I Tello didn't just yank him right away after the

417
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 6: home run. He let his guy in there, got to

418
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 6: let him finish it exactly. So we'll see going forward.

419
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: But I think everybody sees a running on the wall.

420
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: It's clear.

421
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: If you're not even like a big time baseball fan,

422
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 6: you saw it. Kruco mentioned this morning headn Wins around

423
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 6: the corner staring at Ryan Walker's job.

424
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Well, here's what Mike Cruco had to say. Actually, first

425
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: let's go to Tony Vitello, those guys on the post game.

426
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: What Tony Vitello had to say about letting Ryan Walker

427
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: finish the job. I didn't think at any point that

428
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: we're going to pull him after the home run. I

429
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: feel like then if you're gonna pull him at that point,

430
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: then you're like, you should already had somebody've getting to go.

431
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: But you got to let him go out and try

432
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: to settle in and find a spot. First opportunity of

433
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: the year. You want him to get some confidence and

434
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: hopefully that does it, but you'd rather have thrown a

435
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: clean in. And here's what if I tell us said

436
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: about letting Walker go out there and stay out there.

437
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: For the night.

438
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 9: Let the guy you know that does his job do

439
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 9: his job, and that's Mess is who I'm referring to,

440
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 9: but also Walk. The job at the end of the

441
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 9: day is to get out there and win the game.

442
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 9: And you know, Frank and I know that as well

443
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 9: as anybody. The guy who became our closer. We're up

444
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 9: three runs in the National Championship Game, and I get

445
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 9: it as college. But he gave up two runs but

446
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 9: found a way to get it done. And that at

447
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 9: the end of the day is the job, and you

448
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 9: kind of have to have familiarity with that role for

449
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 9: a lot of different reasons. But if you are, there's

450
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 9: some microchip in those guys that know they just need

451
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 9: to get to the finish line. So I'm all for

452
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 9: all three of those relieving efforts. Keaton was really special,

453
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 9: but it's hard to say he was better than Gauge.

454
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 9: So all in all, a great night, and it kind

455
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 9: of the focus shifting the first win for me and

456
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 9: all that stuff. So I'm honored with all the attention.

457
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 9: But I thought tonight it's fitting that our first win

458
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 9: is basically a strong pitching effort, because those four guys

459
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 9: work their ass off and they really seem to have

460
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 9: a strong sense of camaraderie themselves, and I think they've

461
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 9: done a really good job for us, and those pitchers

462
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 9: will do whatever those guys ask. So if that's a

463
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 9: theme that continues throughout this year, we'll be in games.

464
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 6: I think Tony Vitello, as a new manager, is learning

465
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 6: how to speak to the media, and he knows on

466
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: any level, you can't throw your guy under the bus,

467
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 6: so you're not going to say anything that insinuates that

468
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 6: maybe he's struggling or maybe going to move on from him.

469
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 6: But as a new manager, an old manager, whatever, you

470
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 6: can't be hesitant. Where if that guy's not the right

471
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 6: fit in that spot, you got to yank him. So

472
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 6: we'll see what happens. I think he's going to close

473
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 6: again in the ninth inning, and I think it's going

474
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 6: to be just wait and see until he blows another save. Unfortunately,

475
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 6: but as we've been saying, it's clear that he to win.

476
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 6: Maybe should be that guy, but I don't know. We'll see,

477
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 6: Like as tex Line, as dex Line says through the

478
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 6: seven three to two says, would love to see Ryan

479
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: Walker succeed, but I have zero confidence in him.

480
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: I think it's how we cut off field right now.

481
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't say have zero confidence. I just I

482
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: definitely was like, especially when he comes in and walks

483
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: the lead off guy. Man, it's the worst possible thing

484
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: you can do. So again, it's really for me about

485
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: pitch micks and usage, and this is that that third

486
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: time kind of through the league, right I always talking

487
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: about when teams get a book on you, his big

488
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty four. I'm looking at his numbers

489
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: right now. He gave up five total home runs. That year,

490
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: he was more of a setup guy, but he was

491
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 2: electric and got into the seven to eighth inning and

492
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: became a late inning positive for the Giants. In twenty

493
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: twenty four, right handers hit one seventy off of them. Left,

494
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: he's hit one to eighty nine off of them. Right,

495
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 2: he said fifty seven strikeouts to nine walks. They only

496
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: hit two homers. Left he's forty two strikeouts to nine

497
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: walks and five total homers last year. There was a

498
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: big drop off from two years ago in twenty four,

499
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: where he struck out fifty seven ridies. He only struck

500
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: out twenty six last year on a few more walks.

501
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: He also gave up four total homers, which isn't major,

502
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: but the batting averages against him again. Right he's in

503
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: twenty four hit one seventy last year, they hit two

504
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: forty four. In lefties in twenty four hit one eighty nine.

505
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: Last year they hit two sixty six. So his strikeout

506
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: numbers diminished, the power in the doubles and the gaps expanded,

507
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: and the overall average expanded. His batting average on balls

508
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: and play against left he's with three seventy. Right he's

509
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. That's really bad. So for him, it's

510
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: all about missing bats and getting strikeouts. And when he

511
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: comes in and he's up and he's missing up with

512
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: the breaking ball and missing up with the singer or

513
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: that two seam that runs in on Righty's and then

514
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: he's susceptible to the home run because how Hardy throws

515
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 2: and he can hang that slider, it is a concern.

516
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: Keaton Win is a much tougher guy to take out

517
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: or hit out because of that heavy, split finger fastball

518
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: that he throws. Let's get one more here from Mike Kruco,

519
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: because you just said you think it's clear that Keaton

520
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: Win should be in the ninth I don't know that

521
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm clear on that yet. I think he's he's throwing

522
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 2: the ball better than.

523
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: Is everybody else that he would think about having. Eric

524
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: Miller is the other who knows.

525
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: Maybe Gage is. Again, they're carrying three lefties. Wouldn't be

526
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: surprised if we saw a couple of different guys out there.

527
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: I also think if there's the same situation tonight you

528
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: see Ryan Walker. Yeah, I think if there's one tomorrow,

529
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: not tonight, not three days in a row, but I

530
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: think you'll see Walker. I think it's probably his job

531
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: right now, and that's as close by the way as

532
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: a manager to saying he's our closer, because he just said,

533
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: you got to let a guy do his job, and

534
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: that was his job.

535
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if that meant last job.

536
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: He got through it, but it's a job until it's

537
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 6: not his job, and I think that we all see that, but.

538
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: He didn't announce it.

539
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: And that's as close as we've come exactly exactly.

540
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: So well, let's hear from from Mike Cruco. He was

541
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: on with The Morning Guys. Full interviews up at the

542
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: Sports Theater dot com and the app. Here's Mike Cruco

543
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: his thoughts on Ryan Walker as the closer.

544
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 7: I think it's up for grabs because you can't go

545
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: out there and expect to do well pitching like he

546
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 7: did last night. He got by, he got lucky, and

547
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 7: you know, he has a lot to say, a lot

548
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 7: to say about getting it done, which he did. But

549
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 7: as they go forth, I think that you know, it's

550
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 7: it's up for grabs. That role right now is tentative

551
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 7: at best. It's an issue. I don't think he's comfortable

552
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 7: with that spot and I think that because of how

553
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 7: big it was to the team and how big it

554
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 7: was to his manager. I think that you know he

555
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 7: pressed if you look at him, and you know, he's

556
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 7: really unique because of his big crossover step. He's only

557
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 7: got two pitches, a two s basketball and slider period.

558
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 7: When he's effective, he's able to hit corners and he's

559
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 7: able to establish kneehigh location very very quickly. When he's

560
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 7: not comfortable, he'll miss high. And then you know he's

561
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 7: got sling and he's got push in his delivery, and

562
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 7: he just he's not letting it go. And and that's

563
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 7: what I saw last night. He can't go out there

564
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 7: and pitch like he did last night. I expect to

565
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 7: hold that job down, especially when you saw Keaton Winn

566
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 7: go out there and just be dominant and strike three

567
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 7: guys out in a row. And this is the thing

568
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 7: about a bulletin, you know, it's it's volatile. Roles change you.

569
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 7: You cannot be stubborn if you're Bitello or or if

570
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 7: you're the pitching coach that you insist that this guy

571
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 7: is going to go out there no matter what. He

572
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 7: hasn't earned that, so right now, he next time he

573
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 7: goes back out there, and he'll be out there again tonight.

574
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 7: If there's a safe situation, he has to do it

575
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 7: in a more convincing way, and that's just baseball.

576
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 6: I agree with Kruco one hundred percent. I think that

577
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 6: right now you're seeing where Ryan Walker is not confident

578
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 6: on the mound. He's not showing good stuff and there's

579
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 6: a guy that is showing better stuff right now that

580
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 6: could take his job. We'll see when that happens. But yeah,

581
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 6: I think the writing's on the wall when it comes

582
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 6: the right way.

583
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, what Ruger said, I think it's true. It's not

584
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: take the job from him now. It's that you can't

585
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: expect to keep going out in the way you did

586
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: last night and keep that role. And that's that's where

587
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: I'm at too. I think that's where everybody's at. So

588
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: it's a feeling thing, it's a confidence thing. But as

589
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: a manager, and this is something to watch with. If

590
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: I tell you can't just rip the job away from

591
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: him now, you do that, maybe you lose him, right,

592
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: Maybe you can't. You can't have risk losing him because

593
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: I still think Ryan Walker's an asset. If you believe

594
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 2: Keaton win is an asset. He was here last year

595
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: and two ago, in three years ago. Like, you've got

596
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: to give a guy a chance to earn that role again.

597
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's the closer and gives them the

598
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: best chance. And I agree with what Mike said about

599
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: that you can't just keep doing what you did. I

600
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: do think he got by and got lucky after not

601
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: executing early in that inning. And if other guys continue

602
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: to show you that they're more dominant in those spots,

603
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 2: it will be their job to lose. So we'll talk

604
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: more about this and we'll get more into this in

605
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: pregame with Giants baseball coming up at six forty five

606
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: forty pre game right here on the Sports Leader logan

607
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: web against Hermon Marquez, we got to jump into some

608
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: Sharks hockey. The Sharks got to win last night five

609
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: to four over the Saint Louis Blues in thrilling fashion.

610
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: This with three goals in the first After going down

611
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 2: early in the first period, they were up three to two.

612
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: They end up coughing the lead, than coming all the

613
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: way back and winning in the final twenty one seconds

614
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: of the game to make it five to four. William

615
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: Eckland of the Sharks. Following that Macklin three point two

616
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: goal performance last night, Eckland is going to join us today.

617
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: We'll pick his brain about how the Baby Sharks have

618
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: fared down the stretch and what he's learned in this

619
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: hunt for the postseason. More to come with William Ecklin

Speaker 8: to hit the pock and you know, this time we

666

00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 4: This year for sure.

677
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 8: It's more and more used.

678
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: In our group.

679
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,320

Speaker 6: Talking William Mecklin on the UMA guest Lines, you guys

683
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 6: were obviously going through a slump with a six game

684
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 6: losing shrink streak, but how much did last night's win

685
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 6: mean to you guys? To get another clutch victory and

686
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: strengthen your confidence down the stretch here.

687
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 7: Huge.

688
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 8: You know, obviously every point matters alan right now. You

689
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 8: know it's a lot of teams that still in this race,

690
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 8: and you know, we we got to wait into every

691
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 8: game here in them to.

692
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: And ty to win.

693
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: Do you have you like the growth among the young

694
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: guys on the team? Is it? I'm sure it's fun

695
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: to develop alongside guys who are your age and you're

696
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: coming up together. But what has that chemistry been like

697
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: the fact that you've played together now and you've sort

698
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: of taken these jumps as a unit. I mean, you

699
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: and a bunch of the young guys here and Misa

700
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: Nuer this year, but Macklin last year and Will Smith there.

701
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: You guys are a very young unit, very talented. As

702
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: it added to the chemistry, is it allowed things to

703
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: flow later in games or later in the season.

704
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.

705
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 8: I feel like, you know, we've been playing more more

706
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 8: each other. I think that's how you build chemistry. In

707
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 8: the end, you learn how to play with each other.

708
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 8: And I think, you know, learning for last year and

709
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 8: learning this year, I think we got better and better.

710
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 8: You know, our veteran guys has been really good too

711
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 8: as well, So you know, we just gotta keep going

712
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 8: from there.

713
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 6: Talking William macklin on the UMA guest line, what's the

714
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 6: biggest thing you noticed in maclin Celeebrini's second season as

715
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 6: he's developing into a hockey superstar.

716
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I think he last year he needed

717
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 8: all of those things too, but I feel like he's just,

718
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 8: you know, he's just getting better and better every day.

719
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 8: I don't know if there's the stuff with this guy.

720
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 8: You know, he just keep elevating his game and he

721
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 8: keeps creating those chefs and then he keeps scoring. So

722
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 8: if he's gonna do that, he's gonna be super souful

723
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 8: a long time in this league.

724
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 6: So during your six game losing streaks, Celebrini said he

725
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 6: was feeling he wasn't doing his part to help the team.

726
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: And when he says that he's doing all these incredible

727
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 6: things that he's done this season, you hear that, are

728
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: you thinking to yourself like he's crazy or he's just

729
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 6: showing maturity and leadership for this team right now?

730
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 8: And you know he's immature, you know for being a

731
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: nineteen year old kid. You know, I feel like he's

732
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 8: he's you know, he's taking so much responsibility and he

733
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 8: wants to win so bad that I think sometimes it

734
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 8: takes a lot of pressure on himself, but that he

735
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 8: doesn't need to. But you know, it's also a good

736
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 8: thing that he is such a big leader for us,

737
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 8: so he knows that if he if he's doing a

738
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 8: good job, we usually you know, win games.

739
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 7: So he knows that too.

740
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: And Sharks William mackround here, what have you learned about

741
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: yourself as a player in these these tight moments or

742
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 2: in these high intensity games here down the stretch.

743
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's really fun.

744
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: You know.

745
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 8: Obviously the years, probably I haven't been in these situations

746
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 8: because because of our standings. So for me, it's just

747
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 8: about you know, playing these games and be really confident

748
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 8: in my game, and you know, I don't know what

749
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 8: I can do to help our team win. That's that's

750
00:30:59,160 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 8: what I'm gonna do.

751
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 6: So what's it like coming from a hockey family with

752
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 6: your father Christian and brother Victor playing in Sweden?

753
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 4: Also, your brother Victor got the shootout victory.

754
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: He drafted right by Islanders.

755
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Islanders. He is a HL debut with the

756
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: Islanders the other night.

757
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's obviously been a lot of competition

758
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 8: there in my family in everything. You know, you play

759
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 8: a lot of football or hockey at home or anything.

760
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 8: You know, we've been the really competitive family. I think

761
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 8: that's that's what helps us, you know, come to this level.

762
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 8: And you know, we we we love to compete with

763
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 8: each other and that's what we're here.

764
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: How different is the intensity of Sharks fans at the

765
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: tank right now? And how has it grown when you

766
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: guys go on the road, because it seems like you

767
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: guys are drawing fans everywhere you go.

768
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean right now, it's I think it's really

769
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 8: hard to come play there for out of teams, and

770
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: it's one of the loudest billings I ever heard, right

771
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 8: like that, when when the fan starts going and you know,

772
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 8: on the role you say do yourself. It's it's getting more

773
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 8: and more influenced by us. And I think we're doing

774
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 8: a good job for that and our fans are really

775
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 8: good for us too.

776
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: Now you've you've had some some international experience, right, How

777
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: has that helped your confidence in the NFL and have

778
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: those high pressure moments hit differently now because of that experience.

779
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously you get help from that.

780
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 7: You you play there, you you you.

781
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 8: Learn how to, yeah, how to play in those more

782
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 8: high pressure situations. And I think that's that helped me.

783
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: Not on the stretch, William Ecklin, the voice you hear

784
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: of the Santa Ze Sharks. It's been a lot of

785
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 2: fun to watch you guys growth this year, man. I mean,

786
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: the growth is is, it's tangible, it's evident. We've loved

787
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: watching you play meaningful games down the stretch and we're

788
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: still hoping for some magic here at the end. But

789
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: it seems like you guys are one step away. You

790
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: are right there on the doorstep.

791
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: Man.

792
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun.

793
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I agree.

794
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate the time. William. Thanks so much, man, We'll

795
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: talk to you on the road.

796
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: Thanks, William, thank you very much.

797
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. Here, William Eckland off the Santase Sharks.

798
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: They got to win last night five to four. They're

799
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: still I mean, he's right there's they're in the hunt

800
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: here on the stretch. They've got seventy five points through

801
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: seventy two games, and they are they're sitting there tied

802
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: with the kracking right behind the crack and then you've

803
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: got the Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights are sitting

804
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: there in that third playoff spot at eighty two points.

805
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: Edmonton's at eighty three. So ten games left here for

806
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: the Sharks, it's work to be done.

807
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 6: No, definitely, and we'll be at the tank on April six,

808
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 6: gets you're ready for the Chicago Blackhawks and the the

809
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 6: sin was a Sharks.

810
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: But you know, it's funny.

811
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 6: We were talking about Tony Vitello and after the second

812
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 6: loss on Friday saying, you can put this one on me.

813
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 6: Mac Let's cell Abrini during that six game losing streak

814
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 6: said that to the media and I think you're you

815
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 6: And my reaction where like Macklin, what are you talking about?

816
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: I just feel like I'm not doing enough enough to

817
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: help the team. Like kid, you're you're knowing, nobody mad

818
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: at You're here because of you doing exactly You're even

819
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: in this spot to have it. But but that did

820
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: feel to me, you're right, that six game losing streak,

821
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 2: like if they're to miss the playoffs and we look back,

822
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: yeah at this season and I'm thinking, like, you know,

823
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: we talked about it at the start of the year.

824
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: Birdie Brazil mentioned, you know, I think there he said,

825
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 2: if you want to compare this team to like the

826
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: nine Giants that got eighty eight wins but didn't go

827
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, feels like maybe they had that potential

828
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: that now the way the season has played out seems

829
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: more like a reality in terms of that comp the

830
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: eighty eight win Giants that had Linsingham win aside brought

831
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: up Bumgarter in U. I guess it was nine, I

832
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: said Oway. The nine Giants bring up bumguard in August,

833
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: You've got Matt Cain there, Buster Posey comes up in September,

834
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 2: You've already started to establish your your back end bullpen.

835
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: Brian Wilson kind of takes over that that closer role

836
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: as they cycled through some bullpen arms. So that's really

837
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: where they started to figure things out. And then they

838
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: made the jump obviously in twenty ten and became a

839
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: playoff team, but even that went down to the final

840
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: day of the season. If they're not to get into

841
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: the playoffs here, I think we'll look back at that

842
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: six game losing streak and say that was crucial, yes,

843
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: but also it could have been the six games that

844
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: this unit and that Macklin needed to understand what this

845
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: time of the year means, especially and we got to

846
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: keep this in mind, nineteen years old doing what he's

847
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: doing coming off of the Olympics. Yeah, when he went

848
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: to the Olympic gold medal game, didn't finish the job,

849
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: but then had to come back. There was no break

850
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: for him. He was playing at the highest level you

851
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: could play with the best players in the world in

852
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: the gold medal game, and then he had to come

853
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: back and pick right back up where he left off.

854
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: That's got to be something his body never experienced or

855
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: doesn't know how to how to handle that for any

856
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: of those young guys because NHL players were out of

857
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: the Olympics for so long. So I really do think

858
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: if they're to miss the playoffs here and they don't

859
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: get the magic they need to hear at the end,

860
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: that's a chunk of games. We're going to look at that.

861
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: And Tim might also say the chunk of games into

862
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: the Olympic.

863
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 5: Break absolutely, And I think that it would be very

864
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 5: difficult to look at this season in retrospect, and if

865
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 5: they don't make the playoffs, there's going to be disappointment,

866
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 5: you know, from fans and whatnot. But if you look

867
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 5: back seriously without the rosy colored glasses and onenot and go,

868
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: this season was a success. It's clearly because you've watched

869
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 5: so many young guys take that step. The way to

870
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 5: fix this team and the fixes that are going to

871
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 5: come for this team are fairly obvious. And so you know,

872
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 5: we talk about this in all sports everything. Oh, what's

873
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 5: the biggest problem with your team? And how do you

874
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 5: think it? When you can acutely point to certain things

875
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 5: and go, Okay, I know how to improve the team,

876
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 5: and we have the resources to do it, the future

877
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 5: is bright. The other thing that I would say is

878
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: if the team loses six games in a row and

879
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 5: you're in a playoff hunt, normally that means you fall out.

880
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 5: They did not fall out. They are sitting, you know again,

881
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 5: two points out of that spot. And that says everything

882
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: to do with the bottom end of a wild card hunt.

883
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 5: And this is kind of you can kind of talk

884
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 5: about this in other sports every there where. There's a

885
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 5: lot of teams that kind of just middle in mediocrity

886
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 5: and they're kind of there but not really.

887
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 2: Could kill them. They did not bought him out.

888
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 7: Here.

889
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: Here's what I would add too, not the fact with

890
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: the show celebrating you know, you comped it a little

891
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: bit to when when you're not comped it. But you said,

892
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: remember the other day when Vitella said, yeah, I think

893
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: maybe that was on me a little bit. I get

894
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: if that was him. That to me was and I said,

895
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: disingenuous history. And it's probably the wrong word. I think

896
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: what I'm looking at is like it's a little it's

897
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: a little too hey, hey, I'm the reason look over here.

898
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: And I was like, then Tony Vitello was whirdling a

899
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: little too try hard.

900
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was a little like I thought it

901
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: was tryhard that he said what he said exactly where

902
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 2: nobody thinks it was you exactly. Now, when a team

903
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: that's in the spot they were in with a young

904
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 2: group and a young core, faltering down the stretch, listen

905
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: to me ready, that's where I look to the head

906
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 2: coach and I go Orsovski, well he lost six in

907
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: a row.

908
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 4: We we were talking about that yesterday.

909
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: You lost six in a row. Now down the stretch.

910
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: That's something where you're like, head coach, how do you

911
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: correct this thing? Because six is too many? Take too

912
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: many you can have some, you can falter a little bit.

913
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: And again, I think this is a whole body of

914
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: work thing. I think there's a lot that goes into that.

915
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: It's not simply Orsovski didn't do enough. But when the

916
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: captain shudo captain, I should say, and Macklin of the

917
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: team says, I don't feel like I'm doing enough, that's on.

918
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: That's what I want from my quarterback. That's what I

919
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: want from my star player. And Steph Curry that's what

920
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: I want, you know, that's Steve Young. That's what I

921
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: want exactly. Put it on me. With Steve Young, I

922
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: don't care how many picks are not my fault. It's

923
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: on me the second the ball leaves my hand. That's

924
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: Steve Young's logic. And that's that's how you want your

925
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: superstars to behave.

926
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: No.

927
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 6: I love it when players clearly are not the problem,

928
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 6: but they say that the problem because they know that

929
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 6: the leaders of the team, and even nineteen years old,

930
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 6: he realizes, Okay, I'm gonna put it on myself right

931
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 6: now because everybody's looking at me right now. Yes, I

932
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 6: get asked, but every Sharks, every Sharks player, we have,

933
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 6: come on, we ask about Maclin Sillabrine. I'm sure they

934
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 6: don't love it every time, but that comes with the

935
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 6: territory with him being a superstar.

936
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 4: So with that he has to be a leader. He

937
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 4: has to fall on the sword.

938
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 6: And I think they'll look back on this season whatever happens,

939
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 6: if they make the postseason, if they don't, they'll pinpoint

940
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 6: times in the season we're like, damn, that six game

941
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 6: losing streak, the four game losing street going to the Olympics,

942
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 6: we could have been better there. At the same time,

943
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 6: he could pinpoint them going into Pittsburgh and coming back

944
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 6: in that game, or the win against Florida against the

945
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 6: two time defending champions. So there's things to build off

946
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 6: of here, and I hope they make the postseason. But

947
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 6: what we're talking about when the season started with Brodie Brazil,

948
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 6: it's an ascending season and there's nothing they could do

949
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 6: at this point where I think it's a failure. They've

950
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 6: exceeded expectations. So it'd be great to finish with the

951
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 6: playoff year. But let's see how they finished on the

952
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 6: stretch here where you said yourself, copes this a schedule

953
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 6: down the stretch here is probably one of the easier

954
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 6: ones in all of hockey.

955
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 2: Right now, Now, that was what I looked. I have to

956
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 2: look again.

957
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 5: Well, to the point that he's making, there is also

958
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 5: huge value in going on East Coast road trips against

959
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: teams that are playoff bound, people that are perennial contenders

960
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 5: and hanging with and yeah, you might lose, and that

961
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 5: you know, you don't ever want to lose a game.

962
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 5: But what value is that to a nineteen or a

963
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 5: twenty year old who they are, assuming that they are

964
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 5: in the hunt and they are right there. I want

965
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 5: them to feel it. I want them to feel that pressure.

966
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 5: I want them to feel what it was like to

967
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: come up short, so that the next time that it

968
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: comes around, or when that team gels together, then all

969
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you're a monster. You're not you know,

970
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 5: that scrappy team that you thought might make it AND's

971
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 5: kind of there, which is kind of what they're doing

972
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 5: right now. Now You're a juggernaut because you went through it,

973
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 5: you know how it felt, and he adjusted, meaning two.

974
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: Games down the stretch are important for young teams. Good.

975
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 6: No, to your point, though, Copes, we love Ryan Worsofsky.

976
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 6: He's been on the show a couple of times. You got

977
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 6: to join us on Monday too when we're at the tank.

978
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 6: It's a conversation to be had. There's a lot of

979
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 6: options this offseason when it comes to head coaches. Do

980
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 6: you want to do the Mark Jackson thing to Steve

981
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 6: Kerr where maybe you can upgrade there. But that's a

982
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 6: conversation for the offseason.

983
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: It is a fair question. Has Warsovski taken them as

984
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: far as he can take them? That's and that's something

985
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: we'll have to discuss at the end of the season.

986
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 6: It depends on I should get a bit of the

987
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 6: doubt because this team is ascending and maybe let's see

988
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 6: what he does when there's actually expectations going into a

989
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 6: season to make the postseason. But yeah, it's a conversation

990
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 6: definitely to be had.

991
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: So the teams ahead of the Sharks right now, Cracking Knights,

992
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: It's give me Kracking Kings, Knights, and then Edmonton and

993
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: the Ducks are at the top. Right Sharks have ten

994
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: games left. They do have one more van the Kings

995
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: have remaining, I believe. Yeah, they've played seventy two games.

996
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: The crack that have played seventy two. Kings seventy three.

997
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 2: Knights are at seventy five, so they've played a few already.

998
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 2: In the Sharks are seven points back, but they've got

999
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: two games in hand. The remaining schedule for the Sharks,

1000
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: they get two against the Ducks. They also they do

1001
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 2: have a fairly easy schedule. They got the third easiest

1002
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 2: schedule remaining. The Ducks, however, have the second to last

1003
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: second easiest schedule remaining. Vegas also pretty easy, and Edmonton

1004
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 2: as well. So if there's a handful of teams here

1005
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: that they're chasing down but also have pretty easy schedules,

1006
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: we got to take a quick break out of Copeland

1007
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,960
