00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know that anybody can win the off

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: season more than the Ravens have big, big NFL news.

Speaker 1: high school pitcher. We'll get to Jason Tatum and his

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: pesky return. What that didn't happen is not on TV.

00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: There's there's no error, No that you that's AI. It's

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: all AI. That didn't actually happen.

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: The you should be happy, Frostburg, you got rid of

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: You got the greatest pass rushers in the last decade

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: is out of your division.

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 4: Has Joe Burrow asked for a trade yet?

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow? Yeah, Joe Burrow is uh like, why is

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow trending on?

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 5: Oh?

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's got to face a bunch of dudes

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: now twice a year.

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: Six games out of your season.

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: This is just a few moments old, maybe a little

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: bit less than a half hour. The first big domino

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: of the off season has fallen, and again the Ravens

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: already won the offseason. The Raiders are trading Max Crosby

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: to the Ravens in exchange for two first round picks

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven. So now they're

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna pick first and fourteenth. They got a first round

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: pick next year. The Ravens beating out the offer of

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, who are willing to offer a first

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: and a second round pick to the Raiders for Crosby.

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Who in Zeid goes to the Ravens. He's a big

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: toy for Jesse Minter. And I'll be honest, Mike Carmon,

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm coming into tonight and I'm going I can't believe

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: no one's made this trade for Max Crosby. How is

51
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Max Crosby still a Raider? How is Max robs the Raider?

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I would have given up more for Max Crosby. You

53
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: are not gonna get a guy this good, still with

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: at least three maybe four peak years left to wreck

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: havoc like he has for the past six or seven.

56
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: This is a two time All Pro and a five

57
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: time pro bowler. He averages ten sacks a year. You're

58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: not gonna get better this. Hell yeah, I trade at

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: least two first round picks to get Max Crosby. This

60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: is it. He is the definition of a plug and

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: play guy. He doesn't need to be coached, He doesn't

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: do anything. His motor, his attitude just s you up there.

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: It is Max. Go get the quarterback, go do your

64
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: thing like he is. You can just pick him up,

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: bring him over, PLoP him down and he is fantastic.

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: He wanted out of Vegas. Vegas had to make a deal.

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I'd give him up more for him. This is a

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: tremendous move for the Ravens. Yes, first two first round picks.

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I get it. But you're getting one of the top

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: edge rushers in the game the past decade that's still

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old. Yes, you go get Max Crosby.

72
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were talking about it a little then as

73
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: getting ready to come into the studio. It's like, you know,

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: I and Roddy are producer on the iWatch of Flex

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: and part of our team. Here he goes that the

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 4: Jets got more first Sauce Gardner like, yeah, that is

77
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: that is true because you got ad Mitchell. He got

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: a couple of first round picks. Now, some of this

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: becomes the question of you know, where you're trying to

80
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 4: do Crosby a solid not sending him to Football Siberia

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: if the offers were the same. But it seems like

82
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: an opportunity to truly maximize things, and you know, conflicting

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: reports of how much he wanted in or out. Yes,

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: he was upset at the last regime for Operation Shutdown,

85
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: but could that have been remedied. All of this stuff

86
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: with Guerrero and everything going on, and whether you got

87
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: moles and guys that are trying to exert some clout

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: where they had should have none and and unrest there.

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: But to get this type of player for two draft picks,

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: I got like four texts from all my guys in Baltimore.

91
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: I can't read any of them because they're all so

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: expletive laden about picks. And I mean, it takes everything

93
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 4: that the rams have said, and you know they added

94
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: all the extra extra language to adjacent and they'll still

95
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: in the playoffs there. But you've now pushed all in.

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: You needed a pass rush. I would have thought you

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: would have just signed O ways since we saw mintor

98
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: unlock him here in Los Angeles. But it doesn't preclude

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: that move, dude, But you make the big push here

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 4: and you go get the guy.

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: He's a terror. Max Crosby is an absolute terror. He

102
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: is a lunatic in the best way possible, right, like

103
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: his attitude, the edge he plays with. Nobody likes playing

104
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: against him. Look, it's my favorite Max Crosby story of

105
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: all times, all the things he has done, my favorite

106
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Max Crosby story is from not this preseason, but last

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: preseason when the Raiders had a joint practice with the Rams.

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: And you know, joint practice, you don't hit the quarterback.

109
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: You let him go, and if it looks like the

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: play is getting close, you know, they blow the whistle

111
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: so the quarterback doesn't get hurt. Right, this is how

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: you do it. And Matthew Stafford telling the story after

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: their joint practice, how mad he got because Max Crosby

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: kept getting in the backfield and yelling sack sack, sack, like,

115
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: you gotta blow the play dead because I want to

116
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: sack Matthew Stafford and he goes, we can't even run place.

117
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: He's this lunatics running around in the backfield, sack sack,

118
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: sack like. That's my favorite Max. He is a lunatic

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: in the best way. He can wreck a game all

120
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: by himself. There's not enough. I mean, I don't know.

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: Three first round pick, sure I would have, because I'm saying,

122
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: how many years am I gonna get out of him?

123
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: That are gonna be great? Right? You don't know what

124
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: could happen, obviously, but in theory he's twenty eight, I'm

125
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: gonna get three four great years out of him. He

126
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: is that big of a talent, you know. To go

127
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: back to less Need, who said the other day when

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: the Rams made that big trade for McDuffie, was the

129
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: first thing we do is look and say, are there

130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: any all pros we can get? Right? And that's a

131
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: great way to look at it, because free agency this

132
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: year especially, you look at the people out there. Not

133
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: a great year. Man. People are gonna overpay for some

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: duds in free agency. Man, I'm telling you, but who

135
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: do you look? Okay, what all pros are there out

136
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: there to go get? This is the guy to go get.

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe it did. It took this long, and

138
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe Tom Brady couldn't get more from Max

139
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Crosby than this. I really am stunned, because you're right,

140
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the Jets did get more for Sauce Gardener. We had

141
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: two first round picks and and ad Ni Mitchell right,

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: they almost it's almost very similar to what other defensive

143
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: players without Max Crosby's pedigree have gone for in a

144
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: trade the last couple of years. And I really I

145
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: don't get I get that Max Crosby wanted out. I

146
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: get that the Raiders, you know, had to move on

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: from him. I completely understand. I'm not saying the Raider

148
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: should have kept him because it went past the point

149
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: of no return with his injury at the end of

150
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: the year last year, and he was upset when the

151
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Raiders sent him home. He didn't want to go home.

152
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: He wanted to play. I mean, you could have easily

153
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: blamed that on Pete Carroll and said he's not our

154
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: coach anymore. But I mean that was a big thing,

155
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: and that was really the beginning of the end for

156
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Max Crosby. But you could have held on this. This

157
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: is a plug and play guy, man. I mean you

158
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: could have You could held on to him, and you

159
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: could have gone closer to the draft that you could

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: have got more because this is the guy that you

161
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: go out and pay that for, right This is this

162
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: is what you go out guys like Max Crosby and

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons, this is what you go out and trade

164
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, I can't I mean, you're right, Frostburg,

165
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: the Raven's still gonna find a way to blow it

166
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But I can't say enough about how

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: big a move right now.

168
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: For well, I think as you look at it, for

169
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: the Ravens. You're in that you gotta win now, right,

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson is now going towards the back end of

171
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: that first decade in the league, and we have no

172
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: guarantees it's going to age well. Right, you see the

173
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: mobility starts to come down, the injuries start to mount,

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: all of those things that add up to an issue.

175
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: Now they still have to go find some receivers for

176
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: Jackson to throw to. But you solve one of the

177
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 4: biggest problems you had last year. You had no pass

178
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: rush whatsoever. Every week I would do my spot in

179
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: Baltimore and we'd be talking about that deficiency. And one

180
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: of them, and I already mentioned his name once, was Oway,

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: who had been there and hadn't been able to do

182
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: much of anything as a pass rusher. And he showed

183
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: up in Los Angeles and all of a sudden, he's

184
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: he's going He's a holy terror against opposing quarterbacks on occasion.

185
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: So you're looking at trying to maximize what's left of

186
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson's window, which means you push all in the

187
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: less need comment, Yeah, you go get the player. Someone

188
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: else wants to try to go one hundred percent on

189
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: those picks. Have at it, Ravens. This is as low

190
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 4: as they've picked. What was it twenty twenty two when

191
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: they picked Kyle Hamilton and Linderbaum. Well, Linderbom's gonna end

192
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: up somewhere, maybe actually in Nevada as their new center,

193
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: but but otherwise they were picking in the twenties and

194
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: low twenties for years. So you go and push that away. Okay, go,

195
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: if you think you can strike gold, go mining, have

196
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: at it. We'll take the player and for the for

197
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 4: the Ravens, we talk about the changing of the head coach.

198
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 4: We talk about these near misses, and there have been

199
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 4: near misses, but guess what, they don't count the same.

200
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: A loss is a loss. You tell me about a

201
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: bad punt return, You tell me about a drop pass

202
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: or a field goal miss, whatever, they all count the same.

203
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 4: It's it's an l and y'all went home, which means,

204
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: don't leave it to the margins and go find an

205
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: impact playmaker. And as we've chronicled extensive, Leland will continue

206
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: to do so as the new year League year starts.

207
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Man.

208
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: How many free agents do you look at and go, yep,

209
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: that's the guy. Linder Bond's the only guy that you've

210
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: been able to say that everybody else is all right,

211
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: system fit. What's the ceiling? So go get Max Crosby.

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 4: Whether he's he'll be really happy to go to Baltimore.

213
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you talk about winning culture and getting away

214
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: from L after l as much as he was wanting

215
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: to be a Raider for life. He'll have to get

216
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 4: that tattoo changed, I think.

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: But oh, that's easy. I think that I think that's

218
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: part of the deal. And you're gonna pay to change

219
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: my tattoo. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, we got the best

220
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: guy at Baltimore. Don't worry about it. Man. We can

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: make that lind up.

222
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: We can make that shield into a crab easy.

223
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: We'll pick you up at the airport. Make sure that happens.

224
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you look at last year. You remember

225
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Last year they were really kind of, you

226
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: want to say, done in by the first half of

227
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: the season when their defense was absolutely abysmal. Right, it

228
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: was like, how is the defense this bad? How are

229
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: they giving up forty points to Buffalo and then you

230
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: know thirty eight points to Detroit, thirty seven of Kansas

231
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: City forty forty Houston thirty six is awful in a

232
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: row like this is awful. But that's the start that

233
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: what killed their season because then after the bye week

234
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: they fixed it. They had won five in a row.

235
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: They come down to the final week of the season

236
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: for the AFC North with Pittsburgh. Their defense plays a

237
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: little bit better. Overall, they played better. They fixed a

238
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of that bye week. I don't know that there

239
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: was a team that had a better bye week adjustment

240
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: last year than the Ravens did. But now you're hitting

241
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: the ground running, new start, new things, new energy, and

242
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: now you have probably you're talking about the second most

243
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: talented person that the Ravens have had in the Lamar

244
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Jackson era on this team again, Max Crosby. Look, Derek

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: Henry's terrific, right, I love Derek Henry. Max Crosby is

246
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: the second most talented player that they have had in

247
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: into Lamar Jackson run. And that's a huge deal when

248
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: you have guys on either side of the ball like this.

249
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Now I can't get over there, and this is a

250
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: division that is there for the taking because Cincinnati, you

251
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: know what kind of problems they have. The Browns always

252
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: have problems, right, Pittsburgh didn't even know who their quarterback's

253
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna be, because Aaron Rodgers is sitting out again waiting

254
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: like this was the Ravens taking a big move and saying, hey,

255
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna grab hold of the AFC North right now.

256
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: And again, I don't know what the rest of the

257
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: offseason is gonna hold. I don't know who's gonna be

258
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: able to take somebody somewhere else whereverybody's going free agency,

259
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: but the free agency ain't that great, and I can't

260
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: believe a team's gonna ace the draft more. But I'll

261
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: tell you they should win the division. They should be

262
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a big playoff threat. It's not gonna get any better

263
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: than the Ravens getting Max Crossby.

264
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll get deeper into the Raiders side of things,

265
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 4: because well now you got a couple more bites at

266
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 4: the proverbial apple that you have to get right in

267
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 4: this whole reset. But yeah, for the for the Ravens,

268
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: it's everything. And I'm only half kidding about our Joe

269
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: Burrow because he's got to be looking around.

270
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: What did I do to deserve you? Yeah? Yeah, well

271
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: that's all right. Joe's got some time to get out.

272
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: It's okay. They drafted me he's got some time. Wait

273
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: a minute, this wasn't my choice. This is like every

274
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: other week I have to be staring over my left shoulder,

275
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: looking at the looking at my blind side like every

276
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: single stunk every year too.

277
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: So yeah, here's another two weeks.

278
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: Good luck Joe Burrow, good luck exit out about a

279
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,160

00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: have got more Raiders. Raiders. But before we get to

312
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: what's going on in the World Baseball Classic, which is

313
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: gaining all the headlines right now, you know, not for nothing,

314
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: but you know, I like to talk about matchups in

315
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs and how really the matchups will always

316
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: dictate to you know, winners and loser, especially early rounds.

317
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: But this year more so than others, you can see

318
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: that Hey, if really good team A matches up against

319
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: really good team B, I think I know how this

320
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: is gonna go. The Knicks lead the Nuggets right now

321
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: by thirteen at halftime in Denver, and Jalen Brunson has

322
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: two points. Two points for Jalen Brunson. I told you

323
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: the Nuggets by thirteen. Maybe he's not the MVP they

324
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: have to take. Maybe you have to take Jalen Brunson

325
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: off of my MVP ballot. Now I may have to

326
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: do that, Mike, I really I may have to do

327
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: that like that. Yeah, don't like he.

328
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: Turned down in that fast because I thought you were

329
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 4: gonna tell me that. A. Uh, the Clippers are a

330
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: title contender now as they're up eleven on the Spurs

331
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 4: on the road.

332
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: You know this this Spur, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

333
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: but here's the thing, Like you know, when you win

334
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: ten eleven games in a row, you know, then you're

335
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna lose one. Then you're gonna win ten more in

336
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: a row. Then you're gonna lose one. It's gonna happen,

337
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: but it's still it's still early. It's still early in

338
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: that game. This I mean, I mean, even if the

339
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets win, the second half doesn't matter. Nicks clearly have

340
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: won the first half, you know, especially with Brunson only

341
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: scoring two week he's one out of eight from the floor.

342
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: This is this is stunning that that the Knicks can

343
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: have an effort like this in the first half and

344
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Brunson scoring two points on one of eight shooting. It's

345
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: absolutely stunning that the Knicks canna have a thirteen point Ly.

346
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: If I told you Nicks are playing and at halftime,

347
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson's got two points, He's one for eight, I

348
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: would say, what would Nuggetstack to be winning sixty to

349
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: thirty five? What are they down by twenty? Knicks down

350
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: by twenty five? Maybe it could be down by thirty

351
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: with Jalen Prince at Nope, they're up by thirteen over Denver.

352
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 4: The battle of Robinson and Shaman as to who is

353
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: the most valuable sixth man of the Knicks, Oh no.

354
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: No, I think right now Robinson and Shammitt split the MVP.

355
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: I think I think they split.

356
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: You got twenty three points off the bench. From those two,

357
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: add another two from Alvarado. I mean that second unit

358
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: just getting some work done.

359
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, go New york O News.

360
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: Well they had to because your would be MVP failed.

361
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: Jokic. Meanwhile, twenty one five and four so far for

362
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Again that game at halftime, but the Knicks

363
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: are the thirteen point lead, getting two.

364
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: Points, Jason, it doesn't count though it's not on TV.

365
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: No, no, it's on MSG. It's on MSG. It's it's

366
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: there TV.

367
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: Though.

368
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: What doesn't count is Juan Soto's error and left field

369
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic. There's no real no, no, no,

370
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody saw.

371
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: It counts a lot more than a player. You're gonna celebrate.

372
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: What is happening right now in the World Baseball Classic

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: opening night for the United States. They are thumping Brazil

374
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: pretty good right now, seven to one. Honestly, it should

375
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: be twelve to one, thirteen to one. It's been a

376
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: big night up and down the lineup for the United States.

377
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: Aroon Judge has a big two run homer starting things

378
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: off in the first inning. You have seven different players

379
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: scoring runs and Schwarber's got a couple of hits It's

380
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: been a pretty good up and down the lineup, even

381
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: though even Bryce Terran hitting ninth, has three RBIs to

382
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: night for the United States again bottom of the seventh,

383
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: up seven to one over Brazil. Brazil has two hits,

384
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: Ramirez with a leadoff home run off of Logan Web

385
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: and that's really been it for Brazil so far this game.

386
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if miss Gaye or however I did not

387
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: hear the pronunciation of the man's name, mask guy, the

388
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: left fielder, if he knew how to play the left

389
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: field wall, it would have been an out instead of

390
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: three run scoring. So you know, defense does matter as

391
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: we go through. But yeah, the United States cruising along

392
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: as you expect, Like see a Clayton Kershaw appearance before long.

393
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, I don't know. I don't know if

394
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: it's safe enough to bring in.

395
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 5: It's only a sillaving a human white Armstrong is out there.

396
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got PCA in the outfield now, so uh

397
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's that.

398
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: I think you got to get to at least a

399
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: double digit lead it's safe enough to bring Kershaw in, Okay, yeah,

400
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: if it's if it gets to be eleven to one then,

401
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: but you still have to have somebody ready to come in, Like,

402
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: you can't just bring him in and say, Okay, we're

403
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: gonna close things out. No, no, he's got to come in,

404
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: but you gotta have a guy ready just in case.

405
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 4: That's right, brazila has walked eleven batters eleven.

406
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Uh. But the big story from this game,

407
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: and this is why I love the World Baseball Classic

408
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: because we get stories like this. Okay, Joseph Contreras, Uh,

409
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: pitch tonight for Brazil when a little over an inning.

410
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: And if you're thinking, wait, is that Yes, that's Joseph

411
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: ose Contreras's kid. It's an awesome thing. He's seventeen years

412
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: old pitching tonight for Brazil against the United States. He

413
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: is in high school. He is a seventeen year old

414
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: high school kid pitching. And this is why I love

415
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic because you get the announcers saying

416
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: things like and here comes Joseph Contreras, high school senior.

417
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: You know he's skipping school this week to pitch in

418
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. Actually had to get an extension

419
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: for his big ap American history project had a big

420
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: debate that was supposed to go on today, but that'll

421
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: go on next week. Also, he is in charge of

422
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: the bake sale to benefit both the sports programs and

423
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: the performing arts department, and the spring Fling will be

424
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: going on in two weeks. He wants to go to that.

425
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: But first, here's Aaron Judge with the bases loaded, like

426
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: that's what we have deal gone?

427
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: Called for Aeron Judges home run?

428
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Right, No, I didn't call for Aeron Judges home run.

429
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: I didn't try to call Freddie again the basis I didn't.

430
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: I didn't call Freddie yet. Where where said we're celebrating

431
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: that that here's that you know in the world baseball

432
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: classic kid high school kids canna come in and face

433
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: the greatest the world Right now, we're not. We'll get

434
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: to that a little bit. And headed to Vanderbilt. We'll

435
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: get to that a little bit.

436
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 4: Although I see Jake and Treres in the box score,

437
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 4: I think of his old man.

438
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: Here's Joseph Contreras and in the game. And he's got

439
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: his driver's test coming up next week. Pretty nervous. Uh

440
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: got his permit just a week ago. Now he's got

441
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper stepping in one proposal, though, think about that

442
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic. All of a sudden he flips his

443
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: glove over and will you go to problem with me?

444
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: Come?

445
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is insane. Maybe he's not.

446
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: He's facing the best hitters in the world, right lands

447
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I love the world because usually he gets like well,

448
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: and here pitching for Brazil. Maybe you remember this guy,

449
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: he's forty seven years old, never made it to the

450
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: major leagues, just had a handful of innings at the

451
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Double A level back in twenty ten, just outside and

452
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: here he is right now, Bobby wit Junior leading it

453
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: off in the inning form like I mean, this is

454
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: this is the World Baseball Classic. Like we think, oh,

455
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: it's the best players in the world now, and Japan

456
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: is really good, the United States all this, but really,

457
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: this is what it is. It's guys that never even

458
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: made it into the majors and all the guys that

459
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: are seventeen years older. They went from a seventeen year

460
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: old pitcher to a forty year old pitcher, you know,

461
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 1: coming in for Brazil, and still he started what kept

462
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: walking here.

463
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: And a green haired Dante Bischett Junior. I mean, you

464
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: got everything in this game like.

465
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: This is the this is this is the real world

466
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic. However, this is why this was so good,

467
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: because he actually did get to face Aaron Judge with

468
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: the bases loaded in the second inning. Judge all ready

469
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: with a two run homer in the first inning, and

470
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: you think, okay, well, this is where the United States

471
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: breaks the game open. This is a guy who's gonna

472
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: go down as one of the five greatest Yankees of

473
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: all time. And yes, Joseph Contreras throws a ninety seven

474
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball, but this is still again, he's

475
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna go down as one of the five greatest Yankees

476
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: of all time. It's coming off of an MVP year.

477
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: And this is what Aaron Judge did. Bases loaded, one out,

478
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: a chance to put the game away. In the second inning,

479
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: Treras broken bat.

480
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: Out.

481
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: There the double play. How about that all of seventeen

482
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: high school senior the MVP's at the plate with the

483
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: bags juiced, and he gets out of it.

484
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: Jason hates his country.

485
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no no, it doesn't matter.

486
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: For winning this game. I can now say to my

487
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: dad Fox on the call. I got to say to

488
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: my dad dad. Judge can't even hit bleep in high

489
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: school pitching, and it would be right. You don't have

490
00:23:59,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: to win.

491
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: Must to say that to your dad, I wouldn't be

492
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: trolling already.

493
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: You can't Frostburg. As soon as that happened, I couldn't

494
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: text him fast enough. I was lightning McQueen on my phone.

495
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: Text soccer. You texted him instead of saying it to

496
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: his face.

497
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because he he doesn't really answer the phone

498
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: that much after after six o'clock at night. He's like

499
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: he's like the reverse vampire instead of being up all night,

500
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, I I gotta text him. But I mean,

501
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm not trolling. I'm not trolling when I say that.

502
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I say he can't even hit high school pitching, and

503
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm right, I'm not trolling it. I'm not saying he

504
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: can't hit a high school He not. He ground into

505
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a double playoff a high school pitcher Aaron Well, at

506
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: least at least people will stop talking about the fly

507
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: ball he dropped in the world, so they will talk

508
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: about this game. Yeah, but high school thing, I mean

509
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: sat maybe it was a faulty bat. And if you're

510
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: the kid, you get him to sign every shard of

511
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: wood that splintered all over the place here and then

512
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: you sell, sell, sell, Hey, Aaron, will you sign this

513
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: ball for me? This is a ball you hit into

514
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: a double player for me.

515
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 4: Guys are usually pretty good sports about that after they yeah,

516
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 4: you know, talk about their bank accounts, or.

517
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Joseph, Joseph, what an Aaron? Right on your ball?

518
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: Here it is it says, go blank yourself, Aaron, judge,

519
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: that's good advice. Oh that's fantastic. Uh, they see now

520
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: and surprise. This is what has taken for me to

521
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: be excited about the World Baseball Classic. This just go

522
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: to you. I've hated the World Baseball Classic for years,

523
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: mainly because most of the time when Mets players play,

524
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I have to worry about them getting hurt. And I

525
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: still go back to Edwin Diaz a couple of years

526
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: ago where we missed him for the entire year because

527
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: he's just celebrating a win and I'm like, I can't

528
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: stand the world basement. Now I'm like, okay, this has

529
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: brought me into the World Baseball Classic.

530
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: Now, look, man, he might have won a video game

531
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: at home, done that same little hop and busted it

532
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 4: up there. You never can tell he was trying to

533
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 4: do something great. Look, I'm all in, you know, pride

534
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: of country. We're coming out of the Olympics and the

535
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 4: celebration that we've got. I mean, look at all these

536
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: cool celebrations. We gotta gotta loota mask for the Mexican team,

537
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 4: we got the changing of the guard for the English team.

538
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: There's all sorts of chaos going on here.

539
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's fun. It's

540
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: fine and again and I do have a big sigh

541
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: relief after every game is over, I go, okay, are

542
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: my guys okay? Is everybody all right? Okay? Great? You know,

543
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: like like like Twins fans had to watch you go,

544
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: oh when Bucks that got hit by a pitch, like,

545
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: oh we got hit in the hand, Oh my god,

546
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, am I got it? Like like that's

547
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: kind of where you go out for that handmaid. It's

548
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: a doozy, right, Like that's where your mind goes for it.

549
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: It's okay, we got through. Everybody's fine. All right, let's

550
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: get to the next game. Get through. Everybody's fine. Get

551
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: to the next game.

552
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: So you're the seventeenth not just there because you want

553
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 4: to go get drunk on Saint Patrick's Day. But because

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: the World Baseball Classic will be over and players will

555
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 4: disperse back to their respective MLB teams.

556
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I look that there is gonna be

557
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: I am gonna be excited when it's over, because then

558
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: I know, okay, every as long as everybody is okay

559
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: getting back to camp and nobody had to go too

560
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: hard too soon. But no, so far, I'm like, I

561
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: didn't know how I was gonna feel coming in, because

562
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of my thing. Like, Okay, the World

563
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Baseball Classic is great, but I care about my team

564
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: more than anything else. And I think that's the vast

565
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: majority of baseball fans feel that way. And I don't

566
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: want anybody to get hurt. I don't want the you

567
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: know in this event, uh to get that way. But

568
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: this is what happens sometimes when you have to go

569
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: so fast and so hard early on in the season,

570
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: the soft tissue injuries, the hamstrings. You know, no, I

571
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: did never quite thought, you know, my ace reliever would

572
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, rip up his achilles jumping up and down celebrating.

573
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: But you know that's what happens. You know, you worry

574
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: about guys going too fast too soon, in the in

575
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic, and they like to keep innings

576
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: down because of it. I get that.

577
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 5: And what happens since Jason's been hating on Team America,

578
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 5: Brazil's now scored three straight runs.

579
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: That's it to run home run. Not my fault, hey, listen, listen,

580
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: not my fa.

581
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: Not many people hate their country more than you right now,

582
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: Oh no.

583
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: No, stop now, now they can't bring it's not even

584
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: safe enough to bring kershaw and it's only a three

585
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: run lead now for the United States. Can't bring them

586
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: in now, Yeah, because you spoke that into existence. TJ.

587
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: Michael Waka Walkah Walka Walka his way to giving up

588
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: three runs here in the seventh for the United States,

589
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: and he is just he is just getting tattooed. He

590
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: gets he gets one hundred mile an hour line out

591
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: the third base to end the inning. That will probably

592
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: end the night for Walka, who goes three innings. So

593
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: United States now more of a game against Brazil seven

594
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: to four going to the top of the eighth inning.

595
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: But no, but I I, like I said, I didn't

596
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: know how I would feel. I wanted to keep an

597
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: open mind to it. How'd field going in and this

598
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: these couple of things. Okay, right, you know you know

599
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: uh uh, Jose Contreras's kid pitching. It's kind of fun.

600
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Judge hitting into a double playoff. IM, okay, that's a

601
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: ton of fun. Uh And okay, and we were and

602
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: we were cruising. Everybody is okay? Not thrilled about the

603
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Juan Soto error in left field, because oh, he's gonna

604
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: be a great left fielder. No, first time he gets

605
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: touched the ball this season in a game that counts,

606
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: he makes an error. But that I'm okay. I am

607
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: absolutely okay. As long as the ball didn't hit anywhere

608
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: on him that he had to come out of the game.

609
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: It was just an error, So I can live with that.

610
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm fine.

611
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: He got the error out of the way and it

612
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: didn't count for you. Now, it does it sit in

613
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: the deep recesses of your mind that in a pivotal game,

614
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: say you're trying to go meet the Dodgers and the NLCS,

615
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: that Soda will have the ball hit to him and

616
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: it'll be like the little kid right field that you

627
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,520

802
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:21,400
