Speaker 5: well but no, yeah, big news coming out of Arizona

33
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: right where they're.

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: In no more Vero Beach. Has been a long time

35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: since they were flown Dave Roberts.

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: You know, all eyes are on the Dodgers right, not

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 5: only because they are the back to back.

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Roberts just talking big. When it was the ninth inning

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: with one out and Miguel to uh Lojas up to bat.

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wasn't feeling that cool. He wasn't talking

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: big smack cool.

42
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: As a Q was he was.

43
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 6: Are you d.

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: Only gotten worse in the last forty eight hours because

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: you got ESPN, the Athletic, Fox Sports all publishing pieces

46
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: saying MLB is mad as heck? And it's all because

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 5: of the Dodgers. They're buying up all the good players,

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: they're winning all the championships, and we've had it up

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 5: to here, don We're gonna lock out major League Baseball,

50
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: and it's all the Dodgers fault. So Dave Roberts was

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 5: asked about this upcoming season, of course, trying to repeat,

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: and he said that quote, we think, on paper, this

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: is probably the best team we've ever had. And a

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: big reason why he feels that way, not just addition

55
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 5: to Kyle Tucker, not just that, you know, the pitching

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: staff should be whole again for the first time in

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: a couple of seasons. It's because of show A Otani

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 5: finally getting back to full time double duty with the Dodgers.

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: He hasn't done it since he's been there, only did

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: it with the Angels. In fact, Dave Roberts expects that

61
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: now that Otani is a fool, what two years removed

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: from Tommy John surgery, that show Hay should be in

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 5: the thick of the Cy Young race. He's already a

64
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: multiple time MVP, he's got a couple of World Series.

65
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 5: Now we're gonna add a cy Young to the list. Guys,

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 5: what can't this guy do? Calvin Washington nothing?

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: He does it all.

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 7: And the best part about it, I'm getting ready to

69
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 7: sit next to Rob Parker, and Rob's gonna be mad

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 7: because show Hay is finally.

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Gonna do what we've been waiting on him to do.

72
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 7: Is restrictions a goal, Rob, The shackles are gone, the

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 7: babysit is gone. We get to see to go the

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 7: full outing, if it's supposed to be seven or eight,

75
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 7: if it's a complete game. We get to see what

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 7: the Show Hey experiment really can be at its greatest,

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 7: specifically as a Dodger, not an angel, because you know,

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 7: there's different branding, there's different marketing, there's different eyes when

79
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 7: you're a Dodger, and so far, for the most part,

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 7: he has lived up to the height and some Since

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 7: he's been a Dodger, all he has known is getting

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 7: the World Series rings. He got two of them now,

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 7: and it's gonna be interesting and amazing to see this

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 7: upcoming season the full scale of Show Hey, Rob, where

85
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 7: we might get forty thirty five, fifty home runs, twenty

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 7: twenty five thirty stolen bases maybe, and we mess around

87
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 7: and get you know, twenty five games, thirty games he pitches,

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 7: and can he be you know, twenty and three. Can

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 7: he have a nineteen to four record something crazy like

90
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 7: that as a starter.

91
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: This is gonna be really cool to see.

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 7: All jokes aside, to see one of the best players

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 7: ever at his absolute best and being able to at

94
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 7: least max out and see what he can do.

95
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: And we've been we.

96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 7: Didn't get it to see it the first year with

97
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 7: the Dodgers. Obviously, he's coming off the injury just hitting

98
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 7: last year. They slow rolled it till he got rolling

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 7: towards the end of the year and into the postseason

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 7: this coming spring. To see the full breadth of it all,

101
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 7: I think that's gonna be amazing. I think he's gonna

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 7: have his another MVP again. And because he's you know,

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 7: you can almost pencil luin for thirty five forty home runs,

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 7: and then you pencil in playing pitching more than he

105
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 7: ever has or at least has as a Dodger. I

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 7: just think it's gonna be another spectacular season for him.

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: Don't mess around him.

108
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 7: Three pat that'll just put him to the stratosphere at

109
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 7: that point.

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: But it should be fun.

111
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 7: We finally get to see maxed out show. Hey, I'm

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 7: looking forward to it. He's spectacular. It's been a blast

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 7: to watch. He like always mentioned with Lebron being one

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 7: of the only things I like to live up to

115
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 7: the hype. All that hype we heard of a sixteen

116
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 7: year old kid, and then I'll look at twenty three

117
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 7: four years later what he's become. Sho Hay has been

118
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 7: that for the Dodgers, and we'll see what could be

119
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 7: next for him.

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: All hyperbole and just talk.

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing that we've seen should give you this

122
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: idea that he's gonna win a cy young. I mean,

123
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: he got touched up in the postseason. His career record

124
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: and numbers and all this last year. Let me just

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: go with his last year. His hitting statistics that everybody

126
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: wants to crown this guy the greatest ever.

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: First of all, he didn't even hit three hundred.

128
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: He had two eighty two. He's actually hit under three hundred.

129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Rob G are you ready for this? Three of the

130
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: last five years he's hit under three hundred. This is

131
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: your greatest player of all time. He had twenty eight

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: less RBIs. He went also from fifty nine stolen bases

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: to twenty, so that dropped. I mean, I could go

134
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: on and on. Here's probably the biggest one. Two years ago,

135
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: he had a nine point two war. Last year, what

136
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: was his war, Calvin, You know what it was? It

137
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: was six point six. That was the drop off from

138
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: from last year to this past season for show Hay

139
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and the year before that with the Angels it was

140
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: six point one. And that's kind of where he was.

141
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: He had an unbelievable season with the fifty to fifty

142
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: that was, you know, two years ago, not last year.

143
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: And in the postseason, here's the greatest player of all time.

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: In the postseedons each season is batting two forty eight

145
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: and he has forty five strikeouts in thirty three games.

146
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: This is your greatest player of all time. All of

147
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: this hyperbole that he was.

148
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: The only way I could even concede that Shoe has

149
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: a chance of being the greatest player of all time

150
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: is he'd have to win a cy Young.

151
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: And an MVP in the same season.

152
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm dead series, because individually, if you look at him

153
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: as a pitcher or look at him as a hitter,

154
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: he's not the best in any of those. He's not

155
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the best pitcher in the league, and definitely not the

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: best hitter in the league when you combine it too, sure,

157
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: because nobody else is doing it. And I'm not taking

158
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: anything away from him, but I think the hyperbole is

159
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: just it's not warranted.

160
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: It really isn't.

161
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: When you talk about even career war, he's not even

162
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: in the top twenty lifetime in war, which is incredible

163
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: considering what he's done in numbers he's put up so

164
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts can sit there and you notice when he pitches,

165
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: that means he can't steal bases like he did, right

166
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: because he's because he's got to protect that arm. So

167
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: when he pitches that that's not gonna be the case.

168
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: And last year we saw that too. It took something

169
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: off of the hitting. When he was just a DH

170
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: he had a monster year. A monster year, would you

171
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: agree with that was like one of that course of course.

172
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: So him pitching and I get it. In the postseason

173
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: in his career, uh, he's two and one elra he

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: is four point four to three. Is that you think

175
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: that's Hall of Fame worthy? Era A four point four

176
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: to three, that's Chubby. That's Chubby in the postseason in

177
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty and one third innings pitch.

178
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: So all I'm saying, for all of the pomping'.

179
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Was it pomping circumstances, For all of that, he's done

180
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: a He's a tremendous He's a star, somebody you want

181
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: to watch.

182
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: He's a unicorn.

183
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: I hate using that term all the time, but this

184
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: talk about crowning a guy who's played seven.

185
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: Or eight years.

186
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: When you have players like Hank, Aaron and Willie played

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four seasons and put up an astronomical

188
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: numbers at astron nomical lifetime.

189
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: I think I hear you, and those guys are I mean.

190
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: I just I can't he Garrett played twenty four season

191
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: and Kelviy averaged one hundred RB.

192
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody will ever be.

193
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 7: If there's if there's four or five guys that you

194
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 7: never questioned that you know, you name two of them there, baby,

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 7: But you are belittling defeat because the sheer nature of

196
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: you saying, well, I mean, sure, we never seen this before?

197
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: Is the point rob before?

198
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 7: It's not that it's at this gale And That's what

199
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 7: I'm saying.

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: But is he the best hitter in baseball? He doesn't

201
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: have no I'm just asking you what I'm answering you. No, Okay,

202
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: is he the best picture in the game.

203
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: He's not.

204
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: He's not the best of any singular thing. And I

205
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: get the dual threat. If he was the best hitter

206
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: and a picture, who one who could win a cy

207
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: Young was in that he hasn't been In that conversation,

208
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I would look at it differently.

209
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: He's not that. That's That's what I'm saying. He's not.

210
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: He's not. He's not the greatest.

211
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: If he was the greatest pitcher and a hell of

212
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: a hitter as well, then I could give you maybe

213
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: an argument that he's one of the two.

214
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 4: He's not one of them.

215
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,239
Speaker 2: The best hitters in baseball, that's undisputed.

216
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: He's not the best picture. He's one of the.

217
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 7: Best hitters, that's not even a question. And he's been

218
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 7: one of the better pictures. So if you're one of that,

219
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 7: that's one.

220
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 4: Of the better means. I'm just serious. You know what,

221
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: if I said to you, what's his lifetime record, you

222
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: don't know what it is. You don't know what his

223
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: lifetime what's his lifetime el ray.

224
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it now. Three three?

225
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: Okay?

226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 7: So if I told you I got a guy that's

227
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 7: thirty ninety twenty with the e r A of three

228
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 7: and also my bomb fifty on runs is still thirty bases.

229
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: That guy is absolutely nothing.

230
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: How many, how many how many Cy Young Award votes

231
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: has he gotten in his career.

232
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 7: I'm just telling him to look for that. I'm just

233
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 7: saying he's not on it, and that's my point. Not

234
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 7: on that list and insane. He absolutely is noly. He

235
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 7: is the list. That's the point, Rob. No one else

236
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 7: is thirty nine and twenty. There are people who might

237
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 7: have a few games here and there. Oh you need

238
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 7: me tonight, thirty nine and twenty, and he almost got

239
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 7: the Sad Young in twenty twenty two.

240
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: He's got MVPs.

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 7: We already know all star appearances, like he stole fifty bases,

242
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 7: hit fifty home runs. Rob, Like this dude is a

243
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 7: freak of nature. He's insane, And that's my point. You

244
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 7: keep acting like he's normal. There is no comp because

245
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 7: that is how great he is. And I am excited

246
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 7: to see what could be this upcoming season. He's already

247
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 7: been spectacular. Worth the money, worth the hype, worth the fame,

248
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 7: done it World Series title, next year, World Series title.

249
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 7: This year we get to see the full scope of him,

250
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 7: and who knows he might actually win a sy Young

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 7: That's and the fact that that's even a possibility from

252
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 7: a guy who also might hit forty to fifty home

253
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 7: runs is absolutely nuts. And he is again when we

254
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 7: heard about him seven eight years ago, you're like, all right,

255
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 7: that sounds good. Then you saw him, Oh he is

256
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 7: really good with the Angels. Then he gets all the hype,

257
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 7: all the buzzs to come and get the spotlight on

258
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 7: him and the Dodgers, and he's been nothing but spectacular,

259
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 7: and I just I'm blown away.

260
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 4: In the postseason, I just gave you the numbers.

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Hasn't been great. He hasn't been great.

262
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: No, no, not even great. He I just gave you

263
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: the numbers. He struck out forty five times in thirty

264
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: three games. He was an automatic out last year? Was

265
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: he not in the postseason? Did the Dodgers win like

266
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: the two World Series? Did he win m VP both years?

267
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: And was the difference on the reasons?

268
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm asking a World Series. I'm just

269
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 4: saying he's been on the.

270
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Dodge average title. What else do you up from him?

271
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: I'm saying to a Missless Star restaurant up.

272
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: The Dodgers could have won both of those World Series

273
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: without him. He hasn't done anything. Yes he has or them.

274
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 7: He hit a major couple of major home runs to

275
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 7: keep them in the series. So all he has to

276
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 7: do is play his role throughout the postseason. He got

277
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 7: to be a star every game. That's not baseball. Baseball

278
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 7: the only sport. But he hasn't one of the m VP.

279
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 7: He hasn't one. I'm saying not one. They've won back

280
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 7: to back. Look at his numbers in the postseason.

281
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: MVP.

282
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: He's betting two forty eight.

283
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 7: Four vps, two World Series MVPs for five six Cy youngs.

284
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: What do you want it to be? Sculpted from God?

285
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: He is?

286
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 7: What? Is he?

287
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: The reincarnation of Zeus?

288
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: The man?

289
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 7: Got four vps he's had, He's been or Cy Young

290
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 7: almost running Cy Young.

291
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: He's been All Stars, even.

292
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: The ones that with the series once that he won

293
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: with the with the Angels.

294
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: He didn't play in a meaningful game in any of

295
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: those years.

296
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: They were out of the play they were out of

297
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: playoff run in April.

298
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: May don't do that with baseball.

299
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 7: Rock Baseball is the one sport, Mike Trout was one

300
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 7: of all ten, Gracey.

301
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: That's that's what they said until Mike Trout wasn't and that.

302
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 7: And so baseball is a different, completely different sport like that.

303
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 7: You know, you know that eight seven seven for to

304
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 7: this season, what he can do this season and see

305
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 7: how if he can continue to add to the lure,

306
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 7: which will be incredible, if he does anything even remotely

307
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 7: better than we've already seen.

308
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

309
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Is this the

310
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: year sho Heel Tani cements himself as the greatest player

311
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: at MLB history. It's just a crazy question. It is

312
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Rob Parker kelvin Washington with the odd couple where we

313
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: deliver insight, not just noise here on Fox Sports Radio.

314
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,080

365
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: about it all the time. Uh Kelvin, I.

366
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: Hate to feel like I gotta be the Otani basher.

367
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Uh pour pour warm water on on Otani.

368
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: And but the.

369
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: This ability or this urge to want to crown somebody

370
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: after eight seasons. It's just my that and that's really

371
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: my issue, you know what I'm saying, Like seriously, it's

372
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: just that the same way everybody thought that Mike Trout

373
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: was gonna be one of the greatest player ever remember

374
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: from his start, Like.

375
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 4: It's a long road. And that's the issue that I have,

376
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 4: is that it's just a long road before we can

377
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: start crowning people. That's all I'm saying.

378
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: Do you have to play twenty three years?

379
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: No, you don't.

380
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: What you're gonna play it You're gonna play a significant

381
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: amount of years, not eight years.

382
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 7: But let's say he gives us, I don't know, just

383
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 7: three more years of what we've seen and then maybe

384
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 7: two more of just he's good, but not what we've seen.

385
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: Like nah, not to be the greatest of all times.

386
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: And that's where we differ.

387
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 4: I just don't. I just Be'm so superior.

388
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 7: At both to me is absolutely astounding, considering this is

389
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 7: what we were sold on six seven years ago.

390
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: But the difference is and this is the this is

391
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: the issue that I think for guys like you, you

392
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: can't understand.

393
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: I'm dead serious. You said he was sold to you

394
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 4: a certain way. If he wins a.

395
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: Cy Young and an MVP, then I can buy into it.

396
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: If he's if he's an MVP for his hitting but

397
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: never wins a cy Young, then then I'm not saying

398
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: that he won a great player or he wasn't a unicorn.

399
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: But do you see that for so.

400
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Somebody to own both of those, which is the best

401
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: pitcher of the league and the best hitter of the league,

402
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: even if it's not the same season, that's the level

403
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: he would have to be at for me to say

404
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: without question he's the greatest player.

405
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 4: Does that make sense?

406
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 9: No?

407
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 7: But I just feel like you're operating in extremes, like

408
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 7: it's not extreme.

409
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: Why can't he be one of the better pitchers of the.

410
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 4: Last because that's not what we're talking about. One of

411
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: the better pitchers of the top three. Isn't the greatest

412
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: player of all time? That's that's he's better at two

413
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 4: eighty two last year. That's not even that. That's not

414
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 4: a war dropped three points last year.

415
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: But he also pitched, and he also pitching many games.

416
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: Nobody's war, but his WAR should be higher. Right if

417
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 4: he's pitching andtributing.

418
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 7: Many games he pitched in the postseason, like, but you

419
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 7: did to go higher.

420
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 4: If he's pitching and.

421
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 7: Hitting right, maybe maybe maybe saying yesterday was his greatest year.

422
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: Yesterday last year was his greatest year.

423
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 6: Ever.

424
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 7: What I'm saying is what I've seen. Let's say, in

425
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 7: a five to six years, man has been absolutely astounding.

426
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 7: The man got fifty steals, the man's had fifty home runs,

427
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 7: the man's been an MVP.

428
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: Multiple times, over and over and over.

429
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 7: A yeah, but he man is thirty nine and twenty

430
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 7: with a three point literally three point oh oh oh

431
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 7: e r.

432
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

433
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: But the problem, say a better two to eighty two

434
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: last year twenty eight less RBIs his numbers were down

435
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: and he hasn't hit in the postseason.

436
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 4: But I want to I want to get that. We

437
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: got Justin Bick.

438
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,600

Speaker 9: a great season.

445
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna win the cy young n MVP.

446
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 9: I think it's possible.

447
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I want you to call back for that,

448
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,840

Speaker 9: Bro? He had one of the best games ever.

463
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: No, that's not according to whole he was saying. He pitched,

00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,560

473
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Six innings is enough for you hit three home runs

474
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: Bob Gibson a complete game in Game seven of the

475
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: World Series and had twelve strikeouts.

476
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 4: Come on, man, that wasn't the greatest game ever seen.

477
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 7: Six And I just I don't know what what you're

478
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 7: asking is absolutely insane.

00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 7: want him to be a non Humaneah.

486
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: No, if you're telling me he's the greatest picture player

487
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: whoever played, but nobody else.

488
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 4: At eight seasons, after eight seeds.

Speaker 1: After only nobody else that No, after only eight seasons,

490
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: you think he's the greatest player I ever played.

491
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't say.

492
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 7: I'm not saying. I'm saying, could be. Okay, like he's

493
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,359

508
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 7: an event starting to kick off. I did hear Rob.

509
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 7: We've kind of talked about a little bit. I did

510
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 7: hear a couple of people I know shout to some

511
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: folks I work with on the TV side of my jobs.

512
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 7: They Spectrum News one there they they're gonna go and

513
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 7: they bought some tickets. So there's a little bit. But

514
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 7: it is actually astonishing. Who do we have on the

515
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 7: other day who was saying how he is in LA

516
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 7: and he hasn't even really seen signage, you know, like

517
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 7: things that would tell like, oh wow, I feel the festivities.

518
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit, but yeah, okay, so I

519
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: starting to pick up a little bit. I saw a

520
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: little bit for sure, And I'm sure you know you

521
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: were in LA. You want to be able to enjoy

522
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: your time. The All Star Game, you know, doesn't come

523
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: all the time, right sit around to a lot of

524
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot of different teams every year. So so I'm

525
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: sure people are going to try to enjoy it and

526
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: go to some parties and have some fun.

527
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: But so far it's off to a slow start.

528
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're again, were joined now by lor Murray.

529
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 9: Law.

530
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 2: What's up man? How you doing?

531
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 6: Man? I am in Inglewood trying to navigate the streets,

532
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 6: and that's off our weekend for you, all right.

533
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: So so it's packed out there in Inglewood. Huh. That's

534
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: of course where everything is.

535
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 7: You got the celebrity game at the form, you're gonna

536
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 7: have all the other rest of the activities they're at

537
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 7: into a dome which is like, you know, a few

538
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 7: blocks away from there.

539
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: So if you can feel the buzz a little bit.

540
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 6: Man, it's the city and Champions, that's what they say.

541
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 6: This is a very small place to have an All

542
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 6: Star weekend, and it's also a very big place at

543
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 6: the same time. So logistically I'm interested to see how

544
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 6: it all goes. And that's that's gonna be one of

545
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 6: the many things to look out for this weekend for

546
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 6: All Stars.

547
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: Uh, I guess was it the Athletic that reported today

548
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: about the Clippers or was that the Athletic about what

549
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: potentially could happen to the Clippers? Do we really expect

550
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: anything to happen soon? What are you hearing about the

551
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: Clippers and the Kawhi Leonard and Steve Balmer and the

552
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: hidden money trick and all that?

553
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: What's the latest?

554
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 6: All I can do is ask the stakeholders what they

555
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 6: are expected. And when Lawrence Frank had his media availability

556
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 6: earlier this week to discuss the trade deadline, I asked

557
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 6: about how the investigation, my impacts we might have influenced

558
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 6: some of the moves that they made, or maybe all

559
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 6: the moves that they made, and the response was that one,

560
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 6: nothing that they did was as a reaction or with

561
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 6: the aspiration and investigation in mind. And two that they

562
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 6: know that it's coming, the conclusion and the fallout, and

563
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 6: they'll deal with it when that happens. As far as

564
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 6: the timing goes, it could be any day, it could

565
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 6: be any week, and personally, I'm just waiting to see

566
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 6: what happens. I'm not really trying to think about it

567
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 6: too much, because when it happens, I'll be very busy,

568
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 6: and we'll see what the fallout is from there. I mean,

569
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people want to talk and

570
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 6: speculate about what could happen. It is very much not

571
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 6: of interest to me. When things do happen, that's when

572
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 6: I'll be interested, and that's when I'll be working on that.

573
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you things did happen, and they made

574
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 7: some trades, of course, made some moves.

575
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: James Harden is now gone.

576
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 7: They've been playing well, one of the better, if not

577
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 7: the best team the last month so in the NBA,

578
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 7: and Kawhi has been playing outrageous. Maybe that some of

579
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 7: the best basketball's career. What do you think they're trying

580
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 7: to do? Is this a throwaway season?

581
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: Is this a no?

582
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 7: We really believe this team we have and we can

583
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 7: make a run. What is this season for the Clippers?

584
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 6: But this has never been a throwaway season for the Clippers.

585
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 6: They don't control their picked and they're not in the

586
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: business of thanking, which you might see some other teams,

587
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 6: at least a handful of teams that are in the

588
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: business is taking. That's not what the Clippers are doing,

589
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 6: and that's not what they communicated. I think a lot

590
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 6: of people. They see games hardened and their business rebots

591
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 6: being traded, and they think that it's the Clippers blowing

592
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 6: up their team and then hitting the reset on things.

593
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 6: And for why Leonards there first of all, like but

594
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 6: why is there to play and to play well? And

595
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 6: in case that wasn't clear, like they went in the

596
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 6: Minnesota and Houston, two teams have been comfortably in the

597
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 6: top six in the Western Conference, and they got road

598
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 6: winds against those teams. So they're trying to make the

599
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 6: playoffs and make the most of their season. They needed

600
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 6: to be smart about what they're going to do in

601
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 6: terms of their short term future. And if the Clippers

602
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 6: had their way, they would have kept this team together.

603
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: But when you're dealing with James Harden, James Harden has

604
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 6: a way of identifying what he's going to do. He

605
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: is going to eventually rest control and dictate terms, and

606
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 6: that's what happened here. I think the Clippers would have

607
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 6: preferred to keep James Harden. And if it's the Zubos together,

608
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: they were the best scene in the NBA for six weeks. Well,

609
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 6: they traded those guys, and we can extend it for

610
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 6: seven weeks because again those wins that they got, including

611
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: the Sacramento wins. I mean that's not as heavy and

612
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 6: not much as much of a statement as winning in

613
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 6: Minnesota and winning in Houston, but they count all the same, right,

614
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 6: So I think that when you look at it the Clippers,

615
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people just looking enter it's

616
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 6: a jarring move. But when it all thums down to it,

617
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 6: they're trying to win and when they get the forty

618
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 6: two wins. If they get the forty two wins, that'll

619
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 6: be fifteen three years with a winning record. And they

620
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 6: had to worry about the future as well, and they

621
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 6: did that with Darius Garland. Bennis mether that they got.

622
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: How about the Chris Paul retirement.

623
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: Obviously, in the middle of the night, the Clippers had

624
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: to tell him to pack his bags and go home.

625
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 4: They were done with him with the Toronto. They were

626
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: trying to move him.

627
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: That didn't happen, so he finished up there and now

628
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: he announces his retirement.

629
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 4: How bad was it for the Clippers to do that.

630
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: This was a guy who was a part of a

631
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: signature moment for that franchise. Right when you talk about

632
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Lob City and how exciting it was and all that

633
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff and an all time great in the NBA,

634
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: And for to end your career like that, it's probably

635
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: you had to do something to get people to push

636
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: you out in that fashion.

637
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 4: What happened there a sin.

638
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 6: It just came down to Chris Paul was not playing

639
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 6: and the team was failing. And I don't think anybody

640
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 6: wanted Chris Paul to be on this team for the

641
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: team to be a losing team, most of all Chris Paul.

642
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 6: Chris Paul, I.

643
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: Get that, But you don't go in the middle of

644
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: the night. You could have come back home off the

645
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: raft the road trip.

646
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: It can't be that simple.

647
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what, what in the world, What in the world,

648
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: What in the world are you flying cross country to

649
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: go tell them in the middle of the night that

650
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: that you're done, get pack your bags and do you

651
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying?

652
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: Like, like, I get that, it had to be more

653
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 4: than that.

654
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 6: Oh, I agree, I just think that however, the Twipper

655
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 6: did it. I think the thing I always focus on

656
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 6: is what they had to feel for them to feel

657
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 6: like that was a necessary thing to do. And I

658
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: don't even think it's a character thing or anything like that.

659
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: You know, we can. We can debate on how they

660
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 6: did it, and I certainly again I would agree with you, Rob,

661
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 6: like I would have let this thing be quiet instead

662
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 6: of making it dramatic, especially involving Chris.

663
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. It was so dramatic.

664
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: That's what made it them kel when you know that

665
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: right middle of the night.

666
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: But it was like.

667
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 6: I was literally writing, I was about to write a

668
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 6: Oklahoma City thunder defense story. It's eleven forty PM, and

669
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 6: I get a message saying, hey, Chris, is Chris that

670
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 6: you're here? No Lord? And at that point, I'm like,

671
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 6: this is ridiculous, Like what is happening? Because if he's

672
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 6: eleven forty in LA, it's two forty in the morning

673
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 6: in Atlanta, Georgia, Like what are y'all doing? It's an

674
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 6: own goal in a lot of ways, because here's let's

675
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 6: just be real about what we're talking about here. Chris

676
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 6: has a level of equity where he's going to get

677
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 6: the benefit of doubt. Before the Clippers franchise. That was

678
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 6: the case when Chris got here basketball reasons. That was

679
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 6: the case when Chris was here. Like every time the

680
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 6: Clippers messed up, I mean, people started to dislike Chris

681
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: whence Steth Curry emerged as the point guard of the era.

682
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 6: But for the most part, people would say things like,

683
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 6: Chris Paul is the leader of that team and the

684
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 6: reason the Clippers can't go anywhere because your leader can't

685
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 6: be your smallest guy, your something guy shouldn't be, you know,

686
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 6: the point guard. You know, when Chris Paul left, everyone

687
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 6: was ready to celebrate Chris Paul again. That from being

688
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 6: around franchise so.

689
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 7: Well, I think I was just gonna say, we're up

690
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 7: against it. I mean, it's it's just interesting how it

691
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 7: all ended with CP three. You know, ten years it

692
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 7: was he was the great guy, smiling point guard and

693
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 7: point guard. Now the last ten he's been the annoying

694
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 7: guy who people say is dirty and all that good stuff.

695
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 6: So hey, I would say, good, I would say, go

696
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 6: back and read my story from December. I try and

697
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 6: let y'all know if there's if this was going to

698
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 6: happen to anybody or any franchise, it would be Chris

699
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 6: Paul and the LA Clippers.

750
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: I don't And this is the Basketball Hall of Fame,

751
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: not pro basketball basketball. So it takes into account everything

752
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: you've done. I guess right. Apparently are you all right

753
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: over there? You fell all right?

754
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, well I didn't fall, but the camera fail so

755
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 7: it looked like I fell out here.

756
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: I thought you fell over there, all right?

757
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.

758
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: You're tipping the scales right now.

759
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: That's what you get for stepping on the court, the

760
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: charging court right here.

761
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 4: You're not too big, you couldn't feel the court.

762
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: Bring it back in lives. I'm back. Put the camera

763
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: on me. I'm back a.

764
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 4: Line right there, you go. But I don't know.

765
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I just when you think of hall of fame, and

766
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: I get it, Like I said, it's not the NBA

767
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. We've talked about this over and over,

768
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: like the NBA needs to have a Hall of Fame

769
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: because when I when I hear Mary Stottlemeyer and I

770
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: hear Blake Griffin, I just don't think hall of fame

771
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: off rip?

772
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 4: Do you?

773
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: Amari?

774
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 7: Could we could? We could have a conversation. I think

775
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 7: was on his way, but I don't think he did enough.

776
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 7: I'm okay with Blake not being in.

777
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: He was great. It was fun to watch.

778
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: But just the idea that you're even luke warm, you

779
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean, tells you a little something.

780
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Johnson is it's an interesting one.

781
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Now he's got a great restaurant that's st It really

782
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: is and it ain't expensive. And I give him credit

783
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: because soul food shouldn't be exorbitant anyway.

784
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,279
