Speaker 1: You found Dirty Work with Adam Copeland and Derek Poppa
Speaker 1: where no job is too dirty on KNBR The Sports Leader.
Speaker 2: Dirty Work on a Monday afternoon, Adam Copeland, Deep Hoop,
Speaker 2: Danny Done hanging with you just had Matt Mayoko on
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers Insider from NBC Sports Bay Area. We
Speaker 2: kind of reiterated what we thought and knew to be
Speaker 2: true already the reporting on the Jed York situation, and
Speaker 2: that's that it's already been handled legally and he's I
Speaker 2: guess the NFL is investigating and they'll likely hand on
Speaker 2: some sort of punishment. But as he pointed out, the
Speaker 2: most comparable situation the Robert Craft won where there wasn't
Speaker 2: any real punishment and anything that affected the football team whatsoever.
Speaker 2: And as Matt said, the day to day of the
Speaker 2: team itself, none of that should change at all because
Speaker 2: he's not really involved in that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to think of other situations where owners
Speaker 3: were punished, and I want to say, can remember one
Speaker 3: particular like this?
Speaker 2: This is the thing is I said this earlier, and
Speaker 2: this is you can be happy about this or not
Speaker 2: happy about this or anger like I can't, Like there's
Speaker 2: nothing you could ever do about it. But again, it's
Speaker 2: a punishment that will be handed to an owner as
Speaker 2: decided by he and his fellow owners when these things happen, right,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? The same as like Roger
Speaker 2: Goodell can hand down whatever he wants, but he's his
Speaker 2: salary and his job is decided by that of the
Speaker 2: NFL owners, right, So he's working for the league.
Speaker 4: The owners are working for each other.
Speaker 2: So you make one guy available to be punished for something,
Speaker 2: it may come back on you, is the way I
Speaker 2: see it from their perspective, like they're kind of protecting
Speaker 2: each other. Jerry Jones just had incidents in the past,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. There's been other other things.
Speaker 2: I just don't think any have we ever seen it.
Speaker 2: It's not like in college where a team will like
Speaker 2: lose Bowl eligibility, right, have we seen a team lose
Speaker 2: draft picks or anything that's more like cheating stuff.
Speaker 3: Jim Mersey was suspended for six games in twenty fourteen
Speaker 3: for duy where he just wasn't around for games.
Speaker 2: But again, this is sort of like a boys club here,
Speaker 2: not sort of it is. I always wonder how much
Speaker 2: of that stuff is punted. How much of that stuff
Speaker 2: is we were looking for other reasons to crap on
Speaker 2: you for other things you've done and said that we
Speaker 2: don't like, so we'll use this as the example.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right about that, because Jimmy Rossy wasn't the
Speaker 3: favorite amongst every NFL owner, right he was kind.
Speaker 4: Of a pushback guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a loud guy about it, and they
Speaker 2: didn't like the way he operated. And I think when
Speaker 2: they get an opportunity, they're like, all right, well, we
Speaker 2: can't punish you for that stuff, but when the time
Speaker 2: comes then that we can get away with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what's what happens here? But again, I'm
Speaker 3: like you were. I think a lot of NFL owners
Speaker 3: would be like, yeah, I do the same things.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't speculate that far. I'm just
Speaker 2: none of it surprises me. Come on, and they're handing
Speaker 2: down punishment to a guy with their same job who
Speaker 2: then could vote against them later on, And yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 2: Fair enough is always a little skewed. So I want
Speaker 2: to get to some of the other stuff, Matt said.
Speaker 2: George Kittle, if he doesn't play Week one, not likely
Speaker 2: to travel, wouldn't travel doesn't make sense and probably smart,
Speaker 2: And it seems like based on what Matt was saying
Speaker 2: on his perspective, like Kittles on playing week one, we
Speaker 2: two just might make sense, as we just pointed out
Speaker 2: for the body clock.
Speaker 3: Stuff, seems like the most logical thing where yes, he's
Speaker 3: in line to play, but again this is unprecedented with
Speaker 3: the travels, so better it's best for him to stay behind.
Speaker 2: The other thing is left guard just totally up in
Speaker 2: the air, Like there's no real answer for left guard
Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, and you're asking thirty thirty eight year
Speaker 2: old Truent Williams to sort of cover for some of that.
Speaker 3: But it does sound like Austin Pleasants is the guy
Speaker 3: once he's healthy.
Speaker 4: I think that's really the only choice of this.
Speaker 3: And also it sounds like you're correct Christian Kirk probably
Speaker 3: on IR to start the season.
Speaker 2: Well maybe we'll see. I just that to me as
Speaker 2: you were saying, You're like, well, we'll say. I'm like,
Speaker 2: it makes the most sense because it gives you the
Speaker 2: most outs. If you don't think calling would clear waivers
Speaker 2: and land on practice squad and Kirk is not practicing,
Speaker 2: is not one hundred percent healthy and there's a chance
Speaker 2: he's missing games anyway. In the if you missed two
Speaker 2: of the first four just to put them on ir,
Speaker 2: it's not worth it, right, keep calling, and it gives
Speaker 2: you five weeks into week five before Seattle to decide
Speaker 2: which path you go. And if he gets healthy and
Speaker 2: somebody else needs a receiver, then you've got an option
Speaker 2: potentially to move him.
Speaker 4: All right. Christian McCaffrey did hit the practice field again.
Speaker 4: Pointed this out.
Speaker 2: Three hundred and forty three touches last year led the
Speaker 2: NFL three hundred eleven carries, the most he's ever had
Speaker 2: in his career by like a pretty good margin, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like a decent number of carries,
Speaker 2: like a whole other game worth of carries. He did
Speaker 2: the same thing where he led the league carry and
Speaker 2: touches back in twenty twenty three twenty one touchdowns.
Speaker 4: Now, just go to the super Bowl and all that.
Speaker 2: The next year, usage was a problem, seemingly it was
Speaker 2: ten tonights.
Speaker 4: It was a usage type of injury.
Speaker 2: So he's back on the practice field now after missing
Speaker 2: some practice. Here's McCaffrey talking about how this was a
Speaker 2: plan for him to ramp up cool off and then
Speaker 2: ramp back up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, obviously when you don't practice, you know,
Speaker 5: the way the way the media works now is firestorm.
Speaker 5: But you know, this was kind of part of the
Speaker 5: plan from the jump, was to ramp up pretty big,
Speaker 5: get nine to ten practices in kind of come back
Speaker 5: down and then ramp back up so we're fresh for
Speaker 5: the duration. So you know, our staff's done a great
Speaker 5: job of kind of coming up with specific plans. And
Speaker 5: you know, again I feel great, So you know, feel
Speaker 5: fresh and it's good to be back out there again.
Speaker 3: Dude, I think he sounds just like John Lynch.
Speaker 4: They do have the same sort of cadence.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I believe him. I don't think it's anything
Speaker 3: contract wise, like he knew that the younger guys we're
Speaker 3: gonna get big time deals in b Jeon Robertson and
Speaker 3: Jamior Gibbs. And yes, I think that there is some tightness.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna know which body part that is, but yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it was part of the plant from the
Speaker 3: get go. When it comes to Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa,
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanan needs those guys.
Speaker 2: I mean, Mayo Goo is right now, mayrgu just joined
Speaker 2: us in the full interview on the sports Leader dot
Speaker 2: Com and the app in saying that, like, it didn't
Speaker 2: make any sense to start practicing and then.
Speaker 4: Sit out after ten days of practice.
Speaker 2: If you were going to try to get a contract, Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: if you were holding in for a contract, why would
Speaker 2: you work?
Speaker 4: Why would you start at all? Is the point?
Speaker 2: Now you asked the question about whether or not they're
Speaker 2: handling him differently McCaffrey, and I think you have to
Speaker 2: believe they are. But I think they also have to
Speaker 2: believe that they're handling the team different because of the
Speaker 2: age of the roster. Is the age of the difference
Speaker 2: making players right until the other guys prove it, the
Speaker 2: younger guys or establish themselves. Your best hope right now
Speaker 2: is banking on that core of aging, benged up guys
Speaker 2: who shitting with the Warriors. But like, when they're at
Speaker 2: their best, they can be really, really dangerous, especially with
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 4: At the helm.
Speaker 3: And also I think Kyle has to look within himself
Speaker 3: to be like, Okay, it's obviously not the substation here,
Speaker 3: but why are my guys getting injured?
Speaker 6: Is it me?
Speaker 3: Is it something else? Is the way we practice so
Speaker 3: I think he's taken all that into account, especially when
Speaker 3: McCaffrey in the amount of touches he had a year ago,
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to repeat of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's what he brings up here. And that's
Speaker 2: the one concerned I had coming into the season. I
Speaker 2: think I said to you at the very end of
Speaker 2: last year, is at what point do the Niners just
Speaker 2: have to start thinking about life beyond Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4: Right, at what point can.
Speaker 2: They say a season was saved by him last year? Right,
Speaker 2: like what he was able to do. I don't know
Speaker 2: where they'd be without him anyway. Yeah, but like there's
Speaker 2: nobody else they would have had they could have saved
Speaker 2: them in the way that he did last season with
Speaker 2: all the other pieces that were moving around. And we're
Speaker 2: coming back and then falling off again. So like, at
Speaker 2: what point can he not be that guy? The hope
Speaker 2: is you can still maximize that value every time he
Speaker 2: touches the ball this year. But here's McCaffrey on that
Speaker 2: injury he had twenty four and how this has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with his current work.
Speaker 5: I don't think it had anything to do with it,
Speaker 5: you know, obviously there's you want to learn from the past,
Speaker 5: and you know, going through a full training camp is
Speaker 5: a lot of work. And you know, I've monitored my
Speaker 5: practice schedule since twenty nineteen. I remember North Turner used
Speaker 5: to kick me out of practice in Carolina just cuz,
Speaker 5: you know, say go find shade and uh, you know,
Speaker 5: I always you know, sometimes I can probably be my
Speaker 5: worst enemy. And how much I just love being out there.
Speaker 5: I want to run, I want to go, I want
Speaker 5: every you know, I want every play. I'm a competitor.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 5: And but you know, I think again, when you have
Speaker 5: people smarter than you than understand you know, not just
Speaker 5: what you've been through, but what we plan on doing
Speaker 5: this season, it's it's about being fresh for the duration,
Speaker 5: and it's about seventeen Sundays and God willing you know,
Speaker 5: more more weeks after that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's obviously different injury, but of course,
Speaker 3: you know, I want to repeat history and the way
Speaker 3: that things are handled.
Speaker 4: Two years old and you're you're you're two years older
Speaker 4: from when that happened before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I'm thirty years old. They have to take
Speaker 3: him an account where he is an older n back
Speaker 3: and call. You acknowledged that, I think at the end
Speaker 3: of the year press conference last year. So yeah, I
Speaker 3: like the way they're doing things this year, and I
Speaker 3: like to see more of christ McCaffrey spelled, to see
Speaker 3: more of Jordan James or Kaylon Black, whoever's running back
Speaker 3: at this point. But yeah, I like the way they're
Speaker 3: handling things in this offense.
Speaker 2: I think he proved even at whatever was twenty seven
Speaker 2: years old when they went to the Super Bowl, that
Speaker 2: he was the best running back in the game. Then
Speaker 2: I think he proved at that season twenty one touchdowns,
Speaker 2: led the league in Russian nearly that like has been
Speaker 2: thousand thousand, like all that stuff in his career he
Speaker 2: established he's a Hall of Famer. He was still a
Speaker 2: great running back that has already done it with the
Speaker 2: shelf life at an elite level longer than most guys
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: I think he understands now at what he's been through.
Speaker 2: He said there and where they planned to go this year,
Speaker 2: that that title, not that that was anything he was
Speaker 2: he was vying for, but that that title is not
Speaker 2: the most important thing. What the most important thing is
Speaker 2: is being fresh in the playoffs. Yeah, because if there's
Speaker 2: one thing he doesn't have.
Speaker 4: It's it's a ring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a super Bowl and so if he wants
Speaker 2: to be there and he wants to compete for that
Speaker 2: and be at his bat, he knows what he's got
Speaker 2: to do has got to be different now than it.
Speaker 4: Was last year and the year before.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So, while they're not related, I think the preparation
Speaker 2: is it has to be related in that you're making
Speaker 2: sure it doesn't happen again.
Speaker 3: No, you ding him out there. Yeah, there's a reason
Speaker 3: why they made the postseasons because of Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2: Well, on that same tip, we're like the same sort
Speaker 2: of thing about George Kittle, right need him. It's not
Speaker 2: about being the best tight end of the game. It's
Speaker 2: not about record setting. You can do all that, You've
Speaker 2: done all that. It's about getting that Super Bowl. Here's
Speaker 2: what Christian McCaffrey had to say about George Kittle getting healthy.
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 5: I've been We've been watching him, you know, you know,
Speaker 5: just because guys aren't out there practicing, they're still working out.
Speaker 5: So I've been watching him for the last i don't know,
Speaker 5: four or five weeks going out there and working out,
Speaker 5: and he looks incredible, and it's it's it really is amazing.
Speaker 5: It's a testament to his work ethic, how much time
Speaker 5: he puts into recovering. But to come back this fast,
Speaker 5: you know, there's a difference between coming back quickly and
Speaker 5: coming back and looking like that, and so it's it's amazing.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: When eighty five is on the field, when he's in
Speaker 5: shoulder pads and a helmet, everybody on the team feels it.
Speaker 3: It is incredible. It is incredible he's able to back
Speaker 3: so quickly. But it sounds like it's probably gonna be
Speaker 3: with George Kittle? What's up?
Speaker 4: Is it that incredible?
Speaker 3: I think so?
Speaker 4: I mean again, I'm starting. I'm trying to start this
Speaker 4: this theory.
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 4: This conspiracy theory? Okay, I'm gonna use all my power
Speaker 4: to start it.
Speaker 3: Go for it.
Speaker 2: The substation is healing George Kittle faster than it hurt him.
Speaker 2: I'll let you start that one get away, Camby are
Speaker 2: is the substation actually on Kittle's side as it picked favorites?
Speaker 2: Could be the case you or like you said, animantium, dude,
Speaker 2: that's true some wolverine stuff.
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's a substation. I think it's
Speaker 3: George Kittle in his recovery.
Speaker 4: You can say, but it.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it probably would be more in line for
Speaker 3: week two. But you asked an interesting question, as we
Speaker 3: talked about earlier in the show, it was more likely
Speaker 3: to play in Australia. Is it gonna be George Kittle
Speaker 3: or Nick Bosa?
Speaker 4: You said Bosa. I think you're probably right, but I.
Speaker 3: Want to be the list bit surprised that they keep
Speaker 3: him out of that game.
Speaker 2: I see now what I'm saying. It's like we're getting
Speaker 2: to the point where I'm like, what's up with Bosa?
Speaker 2: Because like if you were gonna ask like a position,
Speaker 2: you almost asked, Mayo, go this it's probably a pregame question,
Speaker 2: like the position you feel worse about today than you
Speaker 2: did entering camp defensive end kind of Oh you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like like Bosa's not been out there
Speaker 2: practicing like normal, But.
Speaker 3: I think this maybe be this may be part of
Speaker 3: the plan as well. Yeah, the same thing with McCaffrey,
Speaker 3: where yes, I think when we we hear Kyle say,
Speaker 3: oh he's got even said like himself with the knee
Speaker 3: issue with Nick Bosa. I don't think the tend was
Speaker 3: part of the plan, not part of the plan, but
Speaker 3: he kind of like kind of like threw that out.
Speaker 4: Is it's something that happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think it may be the same thing
Speaker 3: where it's like we're gonna have you practice for a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, then we'll you know, kind of have
Speaker 3: you off a little bit and ease you back in.
Speaker 3: I think he's kind of doing the same approach with
Speaker 3: McCaffrey that he's doing with Nick Bosa.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's just it's just that having
Speaker 2: to do that doesn't it doesn't like light the light
Speaker 2: of confidence in me. It makes me more nervous about
Speaker 2: how fragile.
Speaker 3: Is coming off of a major injury.
Speaker 4: I totally agree. It's why this thing is fragile.
Speaker 2: And I don't feel great and haven't like the I
Speaker 2: can't feel any different about the defense. And let's say
Speaker 2: improve the pass rush and there's nothing to suggest we'll
Speaker 2: see what happens with the DIGGI Zua. Yeah, but again,
Speaker 2: that's not outside.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. There's nobody else and mikel Williams it
Speaker 3: sounds like he's a long shot for Week one.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't think he's back. No, I think
Speaker 4: they've kind of made it.
Speaker 3: So if you're down mike l Williams and Nick Bosa
Speaker 3: week one, I mean it's like kind of like last
Speaker 3: year when Matthew Stafford all day to throw against that defense.
Speaker 2: I just I just don't know. I just don't know
Speaker 2: because we haven't seen him on the field. And the
Speaker 2: same with Evans, like he's dealt with three different sort
Speaker 2: of nagging injuries and they say they pulled them from
Speaker 2: practice today or yesterday as a precaution, right, I.
Speaker 3: Mean it's concerned.
Speaker 4: I don't like having to go for caution. He said
Speaker 4: three injuries.
Speaker 3: This I know, but you know what, I will say this,
Speaker 3: and I get it. It's more amplified with the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers, but when you look around the league, there's
Speaker 3: so many guys that are just sitting out right now.
Speaker 3: And that's just the way that the coaches can handle
Speaker 3: it when it comes to their veteran players, and Kyle
Speaker 3: Shanahan's you know, no exception there, So I get it.
Speaker 3: I totally understand. At the same time, I'd rather be
Speaker 3: safe than sorry, and hopefully all these guys play week
Speaker 3: one well.
Speaker 2: Preseason injury fear is out of control, as evidence by
Speaker 2: what happened with Ashton j.
Speaker 3: I thought he died.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the the Las Vegas Raiders, Ashton Jenty injured
Speaker 2: himself in practice yesterday and reports made it seem like
Speaker 2: you tours cl that was not the case. We've got
Speaker 2: some news from around the NFL. We'll talk more about that.
Speaker 2: And Deshaun Watson with the quickest backpedal you've ever seen.
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh you got booed?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, dude, he gets booed on is that on Saturday?
Speaker 3: On Saturday?
Speaker 2: It's boot on Saturday in Cleveland and has some thoughts
Speaker 2: about it the fans, and then gets named the starter
Speaker 2: on Monday and he's like, oh wait, I have I have.
Speaker 4: To sort of walks out of that now. Yeah. So
Speaker 4: you'll get a before and after of Deshaun Watson. We'll
Speaker 4: hear all of that and talk about around the NFL news. Next.

Speaker 2: That nineteen ninety eight Cincinnati Reds one of my favorite
Speaker 2: pet teams I've ever had.
Speaker 4: I would never call myself.
Speaker 2: I don't like when people are like, that's my second team,
Speaker 2: it's one of my It's honestly, this is a pet
Speaker 2: that's my pet peeve list. Okay, I like pet teams
Speaker 2: though I don't like pet peeve. It's a pet peeve.
Speaker 2: But you have a pet team. Yeah, yeah, Well, I
Speaker 2: don't like when people are like, well, that's my second team.
Speaker 4: They're just like root heavy for two team. IM like
Speaker 4: they're in the same league.
Speaker 3: You mean, like Walter and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my that's my American League team. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: you know, you've never even been to Toronto. He's got family, though,
Speaker 2: has he been?
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh he has been.
Speaker 3: He has been.
Speaker 4: That doesn't count.
Speaker 2: Like Jacob Violante and Danny's over here with his Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no, just because your family roots.
Speaker 3: For the Steelers. Yeah, he's leaning towards Pirates.
Speaker 4: Are you a Steelers fan, Danny?
Speaker 2: Are you a Niner fan? I'm a Niner fan. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Yeah, okay, that a boy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that room in your grandma's house, says otherwise
Speaker 3: is grandma's house.
Speaker 4: It's all Pittsburgh. Yeah, they're from there.
Speaker 2: That's okay. She's written Steelers, all right. She's not like,
Speaker 2: all right now, I'm a Niner fan because I'm here.
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I love kengrafy right, and
Speaker 2: I love individual I think that's kind of what I
Speaker 2: fall out more too, is individual players. Yeah, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like I like certain guys who watched
Speaker 2: their games. Okay, but I used to listen to a
Speaker 2: lot of broadcasts. I'd listened to a lot of Rays
Speaker 2: broadcasts for a number of years.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: I love Joe angel I know, I get a lot
Speaker 2: of crap for that, but I love my guy Joe
Speaker 2: Angel as a Richie called him the Angel of Death. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I'd listened to Orioles games, so I like, I'd
Speaker 2: like follow those teams. You would like get to know
Speaker 2: the teams. What the ninety eight Reds do. When Griffy
Speaker 2: went to the Reds after leaving.
Speaker 3: The Mariners in ninety eight. I think it was a
Speaker 3: little bit later, like two thousand and one.
Speaker 4: Two thousand one.
Speaker 2: Anyway, even before that, I think it was I love
Speaker 2: Sean Casey when he came up there, Brett tom Co
Speaker 2: was on the hill there, love their catcher, Eddie Toobbins.
Speaker 2: Did Pokey reached the second basement? Good Berry Larkin?
Speaker 4: Was it short?
Speaker 2: It's pretty fun. I like those teams. Okay, So those
Speaker 2: like pet teams that you start to like, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. I think if I have a pet
Speaker 2: teams would come the formalists. There were the Reds you yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: hurt anybody out there. They're cut off jerseys.
Speaker 3: I mean for me, like the Raiders were so bad
Speaker 3: for my childhood. There's teams that you watch are in
Speaker 3: the regular season're like, oh, I like this team. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna follow them the rest of the regular season so
Speaker 3: all the time. Yeah, I did that a lot of
Speaker 3: Warriors too, Like my dad did the Spurs games a
Speaker 3: little bit time. So it's gonna be a Spurs fan
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 4: On the side, I told you there's a lot of
Speaker 4: guys in Australia Budd's I have that. I know that.
Speaker 2: Are there are fans of individual players, yeah, not in
Speaker 2: in the NBA, not teams bronze sexuals. Yeah, or like
Speaker 2: guys who love Kevin Durant and so they're like, I
Speaker 2: root for whatever team Kevin Durant is.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm like that's interesting. But you live far away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be don't be from the band and be
Speaker 2: like yeah, but dude, Also, come on, I love the Broncos.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, that's my second team.
Speaker 3: Well I thought I thought it was lame, like and
Speaker 3: again this is just my Warrior fandom. But like in
Speaker 3: the early two thousands when the Warriors were tearle and
Speaker 3: then like a lot of fans would be like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm off the Warriors. I'm gonna join the Lakers bandwagoning
Speaker 3: d and root on Kobe and Shack.
Speaker 2: If you want to jump. If you want to jump ship, fine,
Speaker 2: but you got to stay on that ship. Like one
Speaker 2: of my buddies, Brian what Brian from from high school,
Speaker 2: die hard Laker fan from the Bay Area's entire life,
Speaker 2: but a huge, massive Kobe fan, diehard Laker fan hosted
Speaker 2: like Laker.
Speaker 4: I remember watching the Magic.
Speaker 2: Lose Game one to the Lakers out at his house,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Jamiir Nelson and who else
Speaker 2: they have?
Speaker 4: Patia Was he on that team? Or Hito turk Glue?
Speaker 4: Is he on that team?
Speaker 3: Turka Glue?
Speaker 4: Was it Haito turk Glue?
Speaker 3: His name was Turka Glue, Turk Lo, t u r
Speaker 3: K was on that He was on that team. I'm
Speaker 3: not to pronounce his name, but.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that was it. Yeah, team was fun
Speaker 4: Dwight Howard.
Speaker 2: Anyway, this guy was a diehard Laker fan and then
Speaker 2: and you know, basically decided when he was a kid,
Speaker 2: I'm going Lakers.
Speaker 4: I'm all in some kids.
Speaker 2: Mike Minage went Kings too because of the the Chris
Speaker 2: Weber Divak baby like those were choice but okay choice anyway,
Speaker 2: the Warrior's stunk, right, So then then the Lakers just
Speaker 2: bottom out right, Kobe retires on that and the Warrior
Speaker 2: Dynasty starts, and now Brian has got to live through
Speaker 2: all of his friends. Oh dude, he shows up to
Speaker 2: I remember, we're at a finals watch party here in
Speaker 2: the city with my buddies at a friend's house. He
Speaker 2: rolls in and he had a Harrison Barnes jersey on,
Speaker 2: and we were like, dude, take it off.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're with a jersey, at least you going
Speaker 3: Harrison Barnes.
Speaker 4: No, but I was like, you don't get to jump
Speaker 4: on now, No, you don't. You got to hate on
Speaker 4: us forever for being laughing Lakers. He believed, we believe
Speaker 4: you're like, big.
Speaker 2: Deal, you knocked out one team and what he didn't
Speaker 2: carries it gets the Lakers. I got Kobe, I'm all this,
Speaker 2: we got more titles. And then he shows up rocking
Speaker 2: the Harrison Barnes. I was like, I'll never let you.
Speaker 3: Live this day and like totally was like George Costanz
Speaker 3: like coming to come to work next day, but like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, have always been a Warriors fan.
Speaker 2: He wasn't really like that, but it still was. He's
Speaker 2: like I'm rooting for him, Like no, don't, I don't
Speaker 2: want you to root get away.
Speaker 3: No, once you put on that purple and gold, you're done.
Speaker 2: He's still rooting Lakers like he's die hard Lakers and
Speaker 2: he really is, Like he can't do both huge basketball,
Speaker 2: Michael Thompson, you can't do that.
Speaker 4: No, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: Or Missus Kelsey, Well, well differently, you know the mom
Speaker 2: very different.
Speaker 4: I think you should have to pick.
Speaker 3: You think so?
Speaker 4: I think we should. I think that should we should
Speaker 4: do that. Missus Kelsey, you have to pick.
Speaker 3: She's all chiefs.
Speaker 4: Now, who's your favorite?
Speaker 3: Jason's out of the league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's easy, It's easy.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: It'd be funny if, like if if she starts wearing
Speaker 2: half of a gold jacket until she gets the other half,
Speaker 2: she starts wearing Jason's like she wears what she gets
Speaker 2: one half gold and the other half golds.
Speaker 3: For the day that Taylor Swift shows up to cannon
Speaker 3: for Travis Kelsey at the head, will they beat again
Speaker 3: and add more chairs?
Speaker 2: Does this feel like a long haul celebrity relationship? Feels
Speaker 2: like that it'll last till then?
Speaker 3: I hope so for those two kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, man, I'm rooting for it.
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him too. I do want to hit
Speaker 2: this sound before we get the Susans lester. What's up
Speaker 2: the Deshaun Watsons? Oh yeah, let's do Did we get
Speaker 2: to this?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 2: In some news from around the NFL, So, Deshaun Watson
Speaker 2: was named the Browns starting quarterback today, but on Saturday,
Speaker 2: after his performance and what did he do?
Speaker 4: What were his numbers?
Speaker 3: He was five of twelve? He threw an interception. He
Speaker 3: looked the same old DeShawn mobs.
Speaker 2: Dude, what did they expect he was gonna do five
Speaker 2: to twelve and a pick? Yeah, that's kind of what
Speaker 2: I assumed. Anyways, he's leaving the game.
Speaker 4: He got booed.
Speaker 3: Oh during the game. The entire time he was out there,
Speaker 3: he was booed.
Speaker 4: Who cheered?
Speaker 6: When?
Speaker 4: Where was he?
Speaker 2: When he when he tore the kill and they cheered,
Speaker 2: and he remembered they cheered when he when he tore
Speaker 2: his achilles, and then they booed his performance on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said after the game about his home fans.
Speaker 4: That winning and playing better would unliminate some of that bullying.
Speaker 7: Last time I played on this field, I told my achilles.
Speaker 7: In that same fan base, they cheered when I got hurt,
Speaker 7: So does that does that have to do it? But
Speaker 7: does that have to do with anything about performance? When
Speaker 7: a person get hurt, especially for your own city, and they.
Speaker 4: Cheer, does that make you regret coming here?
Speaker 7: No, I don't regret anything in my life. You know,
Speaker 7: I think the lawyer put me through situations for a reason,
Speaker 7: So I don't. I don't regret anything at all. But
Speaker 7: you know, I had different thoughts on how it was
Speaker 7: going to be, but you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 7: You know, sometimes you know the table's turned and I'm
Speaker 7: patient enough because I'm a check out of God to
Speaker 7: you know, wait for that time to.
Speaker 3: Say, Okay, never grew anything in life.
Speaker 4: Never regretted it.
Speaker 3: I don't remeber.
Speaker 4: I don't regret anything.
Speaker 2: Not one of the twenty eight women who accused you
Speaker 2: in civil lawsuits of sexual assault, not one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not any of it.
Speaker 3: That's not reading the room. That's Sshaun Watson being like,
Speaker 3: I'm the victim here. You're the victim. Why because they
Speaker 3: cheered an injury? And again I don't condone that. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, I know, I know, I know,
Speaker 3: I know you. You and Tom were very vocal about that.
Speaker 2: Tom was I not read for injury. But Tom and
Speaker 2: I were like, there's one guy injury and.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 2: It's Deshaun Watson and it's because of what the Haslams
Speaker 2: did to to circumvent having to get out of it.
Speaker 2: They broke the like they didn't break the market. They
Speaker 2: way overpaid him two hundred and fifty million, and don't
Speaker 2: forget everybody, his first season in Cleveland where he was suspended,
Speaker 2: they paid him with all of these allegations. Yeah, on
Speaker 2: the table, they gave him two to fifty and the
Speaker 2: first year they negotiated, it's all guaranteed to give him
Speaker 2: only one million, so he only missed out in a million.
Speaker 2: So not only that, like they deserve everything coming to him.
Speaker 2: They can't cut him because I'll just die on the cap.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I just him saying like that fan base
Speaker 3: almost like he's like separating himself from the fan base there,
Speaker 3: like he doesn't want to be there. So that's just
Speaker 3: a terrible look. And you should not say that after
Speaker 3: you're going to be the starting quarterback of that football team. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't blame Browns fans for booing him, and let's
Speaker 3: not act like it was some moral epiphany for them.
Speaker 3: Like I remember some Browns fans having terrible, terrible signs
Speaker 3: when they first traded for him in support of him,
Speaker 3: but then he played horrible and they were like, all right,
Speaker 3: boo this man, boo him, but like, don't act like
Speaker 3: a child, Deshaun Watson, and then he and then he
Speaker 3: got the starting gig.
Speaker 2: Well then then he finds out after that all that
Speaker 2: fiasco on Saturday, he finds out he's the starting quarterback
Speaker 2: of a Cleveland Brown So today then he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe I should walk back some of what I
Speaker 2: said on Saturday about the fans. Here's to Sean after
Speaker 2: finding out he's the starter.
Speaker 7: First off, I want to address the comments from Saturday
Speaker 7: after the game. You know, I think just you know,
Speaker 7: human nature, just myself being very emotional, putting a lot
Speaker 7: of time these last two years to you know, get
Speaker 7: back and you know, spend time in this facility in
Speaker 7: the city, meeting a lot of different people in the community.
Speaker 7: You know, I thought I was gonna get you know,
Speaker 7: a little different response, but uh, you know, I think,
Speaker 7: you know, my emotions got the best of me, and
Speaker 7: you know, I wasn't in my comments wasn't intending to
Speaker 7: go at any of the fans around in the city
Speaker 7: because there's been a lot of great fans that have
Speaker 7: been supporting me. And I know the frustration this organization
Speaker 7: have put, you know, a lot of investment and coming,
Speaker 7: you know, to get me back in the in twenty
Speaker 7: two and uh, and things haven't been going the right
Speaker 7: direction that we thought it was. You know, a lot
Speaker 7: of injuries, a lot of time off and not putting
Speaker 7: the best football and my foot forward. So again, just
Speaker 7: you know, I understand the frustration, I understand everything that
Speaker 7: kind of goes into that, you know, and moving forward,
Speaker 7: I just want to focus on football, making sure that
Speaker 7: you know, I'm putting the best product out there, having
Speaker 7: the best ability, you know, because I thrive off the energy.
Speaker 7: I throw off the energy of the fans, I throw
Speaker 7: off the energy of the community. I thrive off all
Speaker 7: that stuff.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: I think looking back in my history at Clemson and uh,
Speaker 7: you know, previous set up Houston organization.
Speaker 3: All right, okay, all right, that's enough. Yeah, that's simply
Speaker 3: just Jimmy Haslm's thing down, being like, look, dude, we're
Speaker 3: taking a chance on you. You're a social pariah, and you're
Speaker 3: we're the only team in the league willing to take
Speaker 3: a chance on you because we have to, because we
Speaker 3: made a terrible decision.
Speaker 4: I mean, his money's made, That's what I'm like, Yeah,
Speaker 4: go away, I.
Speaker 3: Know, but but Haslam wants to get his money's worth.
Speaker 3: Like I think last year at this time he said,
Speaker 3: like we swung and missed at the Deshaun Watson thing.
Speaker 3: And now he's back, So I'm sure he was like, look, dude,
Speaker 3: you're the starting quarterback. We're going to play you on
Speaker 3: the road for the first two games of the regular season.
Speaker 3: Then probably go Shador, you need to apologize to these fans.
Speaker 4: Get worse soon.
Speaker 2: Italy came here five six seven, the number to call
Speaker 2: and the number de text will take a quick break
Speaker 2: when we come on back. Shoos and slo Us covers
Speaker 2: the Giants for the San Francisco Chronicle. We'll talk to
Speaker 2: her about that road Fred, what are the Giants even
Speaker 2: looking to evaluate at this point? When could we see
Speaker 2: Marcelo Meyer talk about that with Susan Sleser next only
Speaker 2: here on the Sports Leader.
Speaker 7: Because I'm a child, I've got.
Speaker 1: Now back to dirty work. Adam Copeland and Derek Papa
Speaker 1: in the k NBR Casino Matrix Progressive Jackpots Studios Casino
Speaker 1: Matrix Progressive Jackpots are here. Where are you? Just drop in?
Speaker 1: Please play responsibly? Called one eight hundred gambler.
Speaker 2: Dirty work on a Monday afternoon, Monday evening Adam Copeland
Speaker 2: Derek Papa, hanging.
Speaker 4: Out with you.
Speaker 2: Susan Sleser covers the San Francisco Giants for the San
Speaker 2: Francisco Chronicles. She joins us every week here on the
Speaker 2: UMA guest Line. Susan is sponsored by Surfside. It's not
Speaker 2: a Seltzer, It's Surfside, proud partner of the Giants. Susan
Speaker 2: with us on the UMA guest Line. Susan, how are
Speaker 2: you today?
Speaker 6: I'm great? How are you good?
Speaker 2: We are doing well. I mean, obviously a rough road trip.
Speaker 2: The season is what it is at this point. Some
Speaker 2: other stuff I want to get into, But just looking
Speaker 2: at the lineup today and I'm thinking, how different this
Speaker 2: team looks right now relative to where it was at
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. How different is the vibe in the
Speaker 2: clubhouse because it does feel like we're getting more of
Speaker 2: a because of where we are late in the season.
Speaker 2: You don't go to forty man expansion in September. But
Speaker 2: they're kind of shuffling guys in and out to get
Speaker 2: a look almost every day.
Speaker 6: It seems like, yeah, I mean they said, and you know,
Speaker 6: they just had a huge flurry of moves. Today, Domis
Speaker 6: finally goes on the IL, which was something that you know,
Speaker 6: maybe needed to happen a while back with the back.
Speaker 6: Now he's got a left elbow spring. That's a no brainer.
Speaker 6: You got to stick him, you know, maybe and maybe
Speaker 6: this helps the back out. Tony Vtelo apparently was just
Speaker 6: telling the reporters, I got back super late last night,
Speaker 6: so I'm just talking to you guys. That's my job today.
Speaker 4: Awesome, thank you appreciated it off there.
Speaker 6: But it sounds like, you know, he'll be back before
Speaker 6: the end of the season. Do they even really need
Speaker 6: to push anybody to come back before the end of
Speaker 6: the season, any of the regulars, I don't think.
Speaker 5: So this is about.
Speaker 6: Looking at guy guys. You're right, if they are on
Speaker 6: the forty man right now, I think they get a look.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure they'll they'll race to put guys on
Speaker 6: the forty man because of the labor uncertainty next year.
Speaker 6: You want your guys being eligible to play in the
Speaker 6: minors if and when it comes to that, if they
Speaker 6: don't have to be protected, they probably will stay off
Speaker 6: the forty man. So yeah, this is like, look, I
Speaker 6: know a lot of people make a big deal out
Speaker 6: of one hundred losses and all that. To me, what's
Speaker 6: the difference. Just find out what you need to know
Speaker 6: right now for next year. What do you need to add.
Speaker 6: What positions can guys play. Is a guy a starter?
Speaker 6: Is he a reliever? Is he Maybe not in your
Speaker 6: plans at all, but you know these are the things
Speaker 6: they need to be finding out right now. Put guys
Speaker 6: in different situations, put them into us situations. Look at
Speaker 6: what Dylan Smith did at Fenway Park the other day.
Speaker 6: You know, these are the kind of things you want
Speaker 6: to test guys. Give them that experience now and then
Speaker 6: maybe you have something next year.
Speaker 3: So, Susan, last week, me and John Dickinson asked you
Speaker 3: how you think rap Field Devil's Raffaeld Devils will be
Speaker 3: perceived at UH at Boston, and you said, you hope
Speaker 3: that he's cheered. And you know, it was the same
Speaker 3: same opinion of Dave Fleming and Andrew Baggley during the week
Speaker 3: and he got booed. And I can't say I'm surprised,
Speaker 3: but how disappointing was that on Friday night?
Speaker 6: Well, you know, East Coast fans can sometimes be a
Speaker 6: little bit of a different breed. I'd hoped the Red
Speaker 6: Sox fans, I know all love Rafael Devers, like they
Speaker 6: ask about how do we do when we miss him? Uh?
Speaker 6: You know, I I At the time it happened, it
Speaker 6: seemed like everybody kind of pointed the finger at Craig
Speaker 6: Breslo for maybe some communications things, and you know, there
Speaker 6: was sympathy for a devors so suddenly, you know, being
Speaker 6: moved off third, being told don't even bring a glove
Speaker 6: to spring training, and then being asked suddenly to play first,
Speaker 6: and he was like kind of what, like what what
Speaker 6: what's next? You guys?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: So uh, I think then there was sympathy now in retrospect, like, look,
Speaker 6: Craig Breslo is looking not bad at all with some
Speaker 6: of the things he's done this year, and the team
Speaker 6: is playing great. Best second half team you guys know
Speaker 6: the history of uh sort of wildcard teams that have
Speaker 6: huge second halse is pretty good. Once you get into
Speaker 6: the postseason and then they add Eric Miller. He's done
Speaker 6: some really nice things, so I think the tides turned
Speaker 6: a little bit, and you know he's coming in with
Speaker 6: another team too. Sometimes that's all it takes. It's just
Speaker 6: he's a he's an enemy uniform and he used to
Speaker 6: be our guy. Now he's not a.
Speaker 2: Gott Susan Slesher on the Uma guess line, the guy
Speaker 2: the Giants got back and they trade from the Red
Speaker 2: Sox for Eric Miller. Marcelo Meyer has played four games
Speaker 2: in a rehab stint down in Triple and has hit okay.
Speaker 2: He's had a fairly high strike out number, but in general,
Speaker 2: is he still dealing with something different than the ulna
Speaker 2: stress fracture whatever he was dealing with before, because he
Speaker 2: hasn't been in every game, and I guess he's gonna
Speaker 2: meet with the team again tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah. He missed a couple of games, I think in
Speaker 6: June with Boston after fouling a ball off his right foot,
Speaker 6: and it's that right foot spot hearing him again. Maybe
Speaker 6: too much activity, maybe working a little too hard trying
Speaker 6: to get I think he was really focused on being
Speaker 6: back in time for that Boston series that he absolutely
Speaker 6: wanted to play in that and maybe just with a
Speaker 6: little too much as he was rehabbing. Setbacks and rehab
Speaker 6: obviously are not unusual, but in this case, considering it's
Speaker 6: completely different body part, but it wasn't a previous injury.
Speaker 6: It's a little bit of a tough one. You know,
Speaker 6: his reputation is he's hurt a lot. You don't want
Speaker 6: that reputation at twenty three, so he needs to get
Speaker 6: fully healthy. I know we are all really desperate to
Speaker 6: see him, myself included, especially after being to Boston. Boston's
Speaker 6: coaches were coming up to me and telling me how
Speaker 6: great this guy is, like what a natural performer, what
Speaker 6: a great person like. They love him in Boston. They
Speaker 6: really think he's a special, special talent. He just hasn't
Speaker 6: been able to stay on the field, and he hasn't
Speaker 6: gotten that kind of big league experience that turns you
Speaker 6: into a real bonafide big leaker. He needs that. So
Speaker 6: they need to get him healthy and keep him on
Speaker 6: the field because I think he really could be, you know,
Speaker 6: a potentially an all Star caliber type player. This is
Speaker 6: a guy who was the consensus one to one in
Speaker 6: the draft. He fell to four for many reasons, including finnability.
Speaker 6: But he's been a top fifteen ranked prospect forever and
Speaker 6: Boston's number one ranked prospect three out of four years.
Speaker 3: That's that's huge, Taco. Susan Slusser on the Uma guest
Speaker 3: line Blade Tidwell was great on Saturday, seven strikeouts, only
Speaker 3: three hits allowed. What have you made of his time
Speaker 3: as a starter and his place on this team for
Speaker 3: the future.
Speaker 6: I think he's pretty much nailed down, certainly a very
Speaker 6: long look in the rotation next year. I think he
Speaker 6: goes in at least as a favorite. Spring training might
Speaker 6: decide some of this, obviously, health, other factors. Do they
Speaker 6: sign somebody, do they add a starter or too. I
Speaker 6: think their focus probably is going to be on the bullpens.
Speaker 6: They might have enough even if if they're okay going
Speaker 6: with a very young rotation, if it really they're really
Speaker 6: seeing the quality they want, and Tidwell has jumped out,
Speaker 6: so I think he's the leader in the pack among
Speaker 6: the young guys for a rotation spot next year. And
Speaker 6: you know, kind of a note brainer. The one kind
Speaker 6: of iffy outing since he's been back, he had a
Speaker 6: little bit back stiffness and it kind of affected his command,
Speaker 6: So I'm going to throw that one out. He was
Speaker 6: back to looking great the other day and in you know,
Speaker 6: a situation with sold out crowd night game Fenway Park,
Speaker 6: you know, absolutely raucous Fenway Park crowd.
Speaker 4: He did great four minutes. It was Susan Slesser on
Speaker 4: the Uman guest line.
Speaker 2: You has noted like bullpen in the off season is
Speaker 2: certainly going to be something that they go after starting pitching,
Speaker 2: something they definitely need more of as well.
Speaker 4: Outside of pitching.
Speaker 2: Is there another position do you think Buster has already
Speaker 2: identified as to an absolute need this offseason because a
Speaker 2: lot of these guys will be back or under contract
Speaker 2: for controllable for next season, and adding Marcella Myron gives
Speaker 2: you sort of an option with him in casey and
Speaker 2: then if case he goes back to left field, or
Speaker 2: if you've got Meyer a second dase, I'm just jung
Speaker 2: Houli's under contract. Is there another position you think he's
Speaker 2: looking at as an absolute need to find?
Speaker 6: I don't know if they necessarily have to go out
Speaker 6: and look for any free agents among the position players
Speaker 6: and look, Eldridge has turned himself into a big leaguer
Speaker 6: and might be a really good one. Jung Hu Lee
Speaker 6: now looks like he belongs. You know, I don't think
Speaker 6: there are any doubts about John Hu Lee. They've got
Speaker 6: three very promising catchers. He probably want to pick up
Speaker 6: a veteran catcher, but that's not going to be like
Speaker 6: a huge, you know, a huge deal. I can't see
Speaker 6: them going on and signing, say, an all star type catcher.
Speaker 6: I don't think they need to. And then they've got
Speaker 6: you know, all these all these and thrills. Right now,
Speaker 6: what they're doing is it's almost open tryouts for some
Speaker 6: of the outfield spots. And I you know, they've got
Speaker 6: a lot of options, a lot of talent out there,
Speaker 6: so it depends on what they're going for. They do
Speaker 6: seem to really like this idea of pushing the action
Speaker 6: running a lot. Gilbert fits that mold. Jonah Cox obviously
Speaker 6: fits that mold. They get some really fast guys. If
Speaker 6: Grant McCrae could show that he could hit at all
Speaker 6: of the big league level consistently, I think he very
Speaker 6: much would be a consideration. He's back today with that
Speaker 6: flurry of moves, So they've got a lot of certainly
Speaker 6: a lot of options there. Who knows if at some
Speaker 6: point they go like, you know what, we really need
Speaker 6: another big bat and it needs to be in the outfield. Okay,
Speaker 6: but I think they're probably setting me infield again, assuming
Speaker 6: full health.
Speaker 3: Bryce Olders is office series due to his grandfather's funeral,
Speaker 3: a few mistakes this weekend at first base. But how
Speaker 3: do you view his growth at first base this season
Speaker 3: so far?
Speaker 6: Well, he looks good there and honestly, it's fine either way.
Speaker 6: They've got Devors who can play first, and it's pretty
Speaker 6: good there. Bryce is getting there whenever he's needed. It's
Speaker 6: been he had a little bit of let's get Bryce
Speaker 6: a little more time in the field, and also Devers
Speaker 6: has had a little bit of hamstring tightness, who knows,
Speaker 6: So you know, that's kind of that's probably how that
Speaker 6: position will now shake out from here again when both
Speaker 6: are available. I think a little bit of splitting time.
Speaker 6: And Eldridge is good, you know, he's certainly a big target.
Speaker 6: He's really picked up an idea. He's mostly good. But
Speaker 6: he's so young, you guys, you know, he's twenty one.
Speaker 6: He's still he's learning the position and what he brings offensively.
Speaker 6: If he makes a mistake or two here or there. Honestly,
Speaker 6: I thought the play he made to at the end
Speaker 6: of the game the other day not the best throw,
Speaker 6: but even just to smother that ball and get off
Speaker 6: a decent you know, okay throw, he bounces it, but
Speaker 6: he got it there. You know I'm not gonna dig
Speaker 6: in for that one.
Speaker 2: Susan Seleser the voice she hear covers the Giants for
Speaker 2: the San Francisco Chronicles. She joins us every week here
Speaker 2: on Dirty Work. Susan, I appreciate the time as always,
Speaker 2: enjoyed the rest of your off day.
Speaker 3: Thanks Susan.
Speaker 6: Fantastic, Thank all.
Speaker 2: Right, good stuff there from Susan Selester. She did mention
Speaker 2: a flurry of moves and if you haven't looked at
Speaker 2: the Giants lineup today, it is a interesting It's a doozy, yeah,
Speaker 2: a doozy to say the least. I'll get you all
Speaker 2: the moves here for the Giants, So medical updates and
Speaker 2: roster moves today.
Speaker 4: And there are a lot of them, so stick with
Speaker 4: me right here, okay.
Speaker 2: Infielder Nate Furman, outfielder Grant McCrae, right handed pitcher Anthony Molina,
Speaker 2: right hander pitcher Ryan Walker and infielder Shay Whitcombe have
Speaker 2: all been recalled from Triple A Sacramento.
Speaker 4: Five players recalled today from Triple A.
Speaker 2: Nate Furman, Grant McCrae, Anthony Molina, Ryan Walker, Shay Whitcombe
Speaker 2: all called.
Speaker 4: Up from Triple A Sacramento.
Speaker 2: Bryce Seldridge, as you pointed out, attending his father, his
Speaker 2: grandfather's funeral. He's been placed on the breave Mill list.
Speaker 2: So that's one guy. Matt Wilkinson tug boat optioned to
Speaker 2: Triple A Sacramento. Oh, okay, probably to keep him on
Speaker 2: starting schedule, all right. It would be my guest, William
Speaker 2: Domas placed on a ten day injured list with a
Speaker 2: left elbow sprain. Vitello said he thinks he'll be back
Speaker 2: before the end of the season. Victor Barracotto, leftfielder, places
Speaker 2: back on the ten day al with that right knee
Speaker 2: bone bruise that he's suffered this weekend. And then JT.
Speaker 2: Brew Baker has bruised ribs more like JT. Bruce Baker anyway,
Speaker 2: right there, man. Sometimes sometimes it just loft up to
Speaker 2: me and I gotta take a wing. Yeah, And sometimes
