Well shut, that'll 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: be what they say at the end of the game. Yeah, 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: but he deserved it. Uh. Tatis gets hitt in the back. 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: Now Otani is hit in the leg. David David Roberts 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: is losing his mind right now, out to argue after 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,279 Speaker 1: this what just happened in the bottom of the third inning. 26 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: He is screaming at the umpires. Uh. This game is 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: on the verge of getting out of control. I believe 28 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: Roberts has been tossed from the game. Uh he got 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: his money's worth while he was out there. Uh three two. 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: And Otani's laughing at first base while it's happening right now. 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts get tossed and Otani. 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: Is laughing right that that's general demeanor. Man, he's the 33 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: the face of boy I love playing this game and 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: everything else is silly. But go back to yesterday, right, 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: they plunked Pahez with your guy Michael Conforto on deck. 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Uh huh. 37 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: And then Shilts was screaming of senate ease at Paz 38 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: when he stared down. 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: Dylan sees to guys, got hit today, took him deep. Well, yeah, 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: then guys are getting hit a guy that's that's just it. 41 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: Then it then it starts getting ugly and and a 42 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: little bit crazy. So it's good though. It's good for baseball, 43 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: good for rivalries, as long as you keep it low. 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 3: If he gets hitting the leg, that's all finding good. 45 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: God, no, it's least. 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: Frostburg wants the Padres thrown out of Major League baseball. 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: He wants a thrown out again. Three to two, bottom 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: of the third inning, Otani at first Dave Roberts was 49 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: tossed a lot of hbps and you and you know 50 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: it's this is what makes this rivalry so good, right, 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Just a couple of subtle things. Since Roberts was thrown out, Uh, 52 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: they tried to pick Otani off at first base, and 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: it was kind of a physical tag and Otani is 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: able to stay on the base, and he gave a 55 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: stare to the umpire after it was over, to make 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: I tell you, Otani looked madder about that that he 57 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: was Dave Roberts getting thrown out because he was laughing 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: after Roberts got tossed, and then Manny Machado just caught 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: a pop up to retire Mookie Betts, and he stopped. 60 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: He slammed the ball in his glove and he turned 61 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: and yelled across the diamond after he caught it, Like, 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: come on, man, you the Yankees Red Sox looks like 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: the Rays and the Astros compared to what we see 64 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: the last couple of years of the dog where we 65 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: are now. 66 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: I remember being in the bleachers in right field Yankees 67 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: Red Sox back in ninety eight. There were as many 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: security guards in that section as they were fans. 69 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Uh. 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: So it's changed a bit, sure, But now this is 71 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: getting getting a bit out of sorts. So we'll see 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: if they can adjudicate things a little better than we've 73 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: seen some of the other sporting events of the last 74 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: forty eight hours. 75 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, good luck, good luck, good luck to that. Eventually 76 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: we get it all out brawl. 77 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: But you know, Johnny, you know salty salty about the 78 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: the little extras here. 79 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: So it's good. 80 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: Remember with a franchise, right, It's like when they swipe 81 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: that day Caiton, Caitlyn's Clark eyes like she's not the basilisk. Okay, 82 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: you can't have her blinder blind because she is the franchise. 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 3: Same thing with Otani people, the asses and seats. Man, 84 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: he's box office. Don't be taking cheap shots. 85 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: And it's only the bottom of the third inning. We 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: got a long way to go in this game. Yeah, 87 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: we have a long way to go and still bought. 88 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: There's many more guys that can get it. Look, at 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: some point, I think the tensions will boil over and 90 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Padres will brawl. I don't know if 91 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tonight, but at some point during the 92 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: season I'll go I'll go, bulb. There will be someone's 93 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: gonna get hit and it's just gonna be a brawl 94 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: because the tension is just too high between both of 95 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: these teams. They're eventually going to fight at some point. 96 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't Again, it might not be tonight, but it's 97 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: gonna happen at some point this season. They're gonna fight, guarantee. Well, 98 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: I mean they lit the fuse. 99 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: It all goes back to future All Star PAJZ getting 100 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: plunked yesterday and then it escalates from there. 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, not a superstar Maya. 102 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: I am really getting behind Andy Pa has the All 103 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: Star game. I'm telling you I'm behind that right now. Man, 104 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: he is really really good. A big home run tonight. 105 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: Of course he gets hit as well. Like this is again, 106 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: we got some time. 107 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: Jason, there's so much time left in this game that 108 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: Miguel Azuna could clear the bases two more times. 109 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, we're done with that. That has nothing 110 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: to do with this. Okay, Marcelo Zuna had a great 111 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: hit tonight. Congratulate. The Braves are forty five games place. 112 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: It's okay, the Braves are forty five games out. What 113 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: am I worried about? 114 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 5: Hey? 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: Hey, is fine? Which New York team is going worse? 116 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: Right now? The Yankees are the Mets eight seven seven night. 117 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: At least the Mets have scored, right. The Yankees haven't 118 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: scored since Saturday. I mean really haven't scored since Saturday. 119 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: Either that or they have been way too often so 120 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: they've weakened their legs. 121 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: Oh, my dad, it's hard to even talk to him. 122 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: The last couple of days. He's so upset. Well, he said, 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: we're never gonna score again. We're never gonna score again. 124 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: That's talking. We're not gonna score. We're gonna go zeros 125 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. That's just good. Judge's gonna 126 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: wind up hit in one forty seven when it's all 127 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: said and done. My dad is like doom and gloom 128 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: the entire way. It is the middle of June. Give 129 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: him my goodness, but middle of June is a much 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: bigger deal in the NBA. And as we get ready 131 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: for game six Thursday night, where the Pacers try to 132 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: stay alive, potentially and I say potentially just because the 133 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: way it's reporter, because has no way he's not gonna play, 134 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Tari's Halliburton is going to have an MRI on a 135 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: calf strain. Remember the game. We watched the game last 136 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: night in the first quarter, kind of stumbled a bit, 137 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: going down, left the game with a bit of a 138 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: calf strain, came back, got some treatment on it, came 139 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: back in the game. Still played the second most minutes 140 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: of any pacer last night. But it was reported earlier 141 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: today going to have an MRI to determine the severity 142 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: of the strain. This according to Shams Tarania. Now, as 143 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: we heard Halliburton say, as long as he's able to 144 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: be ambulatory and can stand on two feet, he plans 145 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: to play on Thursday. Take a listen. 146 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: I mean's gonna be final. It's the finals, man. 147 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 6: I've worked my whole life to be here, and I 148 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 6: want to be out there to compete, you know, help 149 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 6: my teammates anyway I can. You know, I was not 150 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 6: great tonight by any means, but uh, you know, it's 151 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: not really a thought of mine to to not play here. 152 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 6: You know, if I fucking uh you know, walk, then 153 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 6: I want to play. So you know they understand that, 154 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 6: and uh, you know. 155 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Is what it is. 156 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 6: And uh you know, got be ready to go for 157 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 6: game six. 158 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Okay, So here's where I'm I. I I don't believe 159 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: that he's not dinged up, right. I firmly believe that 160 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: he is dealing with a cap strain. I firmly believe that. 161 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: But the severity of it, I really, I really have 162 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: to see what the results of this MRI are because 163 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: right now I kind of feel like is he being 164 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: protected because we know his game is all mental right 165 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: when he's playing with confidence and he's terrific. But again, 166 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: he played thirty four minutes lest night, the second most 167 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: minutes of anybody on the team. If all of a 168 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: sudden today he's got to have an MRI and it's 169 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: really bad, well guess what that's like a fireable offense 170 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: for whoever is on the medical team of the Pacers 171 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden. His strained CAF was so bad, 172 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: but they allowed him back in the game last night, right, 173 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, I mean, that's not a 174 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: game where you allow your star player to continue to 175 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: play if he is really hurt, and you know, they 176 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: look at it and they can tell what's going on 177 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: with him. He's looked at it. If they really thought 178 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: it was bad, they would have said, you're not coming back, 179 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: because it's not a game we have to have. It's 180 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: not game seven, it's not an elimination game. We're playing 181 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: on the road. We're already down by ten if we lose, okay, 182 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: let's hope we get you back for game six. And 183 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: because we have an extra couple of days healthy, and 184 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna sit you out because we think it might 185 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: be something. That's what would have happened last night if 186 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: this injury was really bad. And again, if it is, 187 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: if we find out tomorrow, oh he's got then I 188 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: gotta say, what the hell were the Pacers doing with 189 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: him during the game where they allowed him to come 190 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: back in this game? Right? And I don't think that 191 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: happens at this level. We don't see that, we don't 192 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: see any sort of medical malpractice where guys are allowed 193 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: to play when when clearly they're at an injury risk. 194 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: And this is Tyre's Halliburton, who was at an injury 195 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: risk after getting hurt and getting examined and looked at 196 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: by the Pacers medical staff. So that's why I look 197 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: at this and I go, is this a thing? Is 198 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: this just you know, to show, hey, he is hurt 199 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: and we wanna we want to protect him a little 200 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: bit because you know, he's getting all kinds of all 201 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: kinds of criticism for how we played last night. Look, 202 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's not banged up. I'm not saying 203 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: he's not dinged up. I'm sure he is a little bit. 204 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: But again, the guy played thirty four minutes. If he 205 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: was really a detriment to the team, they would have 206 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: pulled him off the floor. But he's able to play 207 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: thirty four minutes. So yeah, I gotta think he's gonna 208 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: be okay. In this MRI that gets out, it's like, okay, okay. Again, 209 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: either way is not gonna be great for the Pacers 210 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: because either the MRI is fine, that's what we thought 211 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: it was, and this was just something to throw us 212 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: off center to get people to stop criticizing him, or hey, 213 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: it was more serious, in which case it's why didn't 214 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: you sit the guy down like there's no win for 215 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the Pacers here other than to say, hey, we're just 216 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: gonna kick the can down the road. As far as 217 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Halliburt and his injury and what's going on right, it's 218 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: really it's a really big thing to suddenly come out 219 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: the next day and say, yeah, he's got to have 220 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: an MRI. So I really want to see which way 221 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: this thing goes. And I hope he's healthy. I want 222 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: him to play. I want him to play at a 223 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: high level because look, the games are better and the 224 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: league is better when when he's playing at a high level. 225 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: I want the guy to be healthy because his NBA 226 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: Finals has been terrific so far. I want him to 227 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: be I want him to play. But I see this 228 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know. I just I've seen a lot 229 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: of games. I've seen a lot of situations. I've seen 230 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: a lot of gamesmanship, and I just wonder how this 231 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: is going to come back, and when it comes back. 232 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about the level of passivity. Yesterday, thirty 233 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: four minutes played just a handful of shots, taken. 234 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: Four for four from the free throw. 235 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: Line, and all the lines we ran about scoring droughts, 236 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 3: you know, Yankees for versus Halliburton and so many others. 237 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: Insert your own joke here at how about a Fresco 238 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: at swollen dome punchlines for days? But MRIs, there you go, MRIs, 239 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: what thirty to sixty minutes is what the estimate says. 240 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 3: You know, in my quick medical research, I've not had 241 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: one yet, so I don't know. But so it's not 242 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 3: like they were gonna do it in game, but they 243 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 3: seemingly took all precautions. He's taped up, he's banded, he's ice, 244 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: he's all of these things, and then he's able to 245 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: talk his way back on to the court. So clearly 246 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 3: the medical staff got on board with that. To your point, 247 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: they wasn't the active desperation other than hey, you're gonna 248 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 3: fall behind three two, But you know it's not series ending, 249 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: it's not any of those. And either way, he's your 250 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 3: he's not necessarily your leader. That's probably Siakam, but he's 251 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: two times third team All NBA guy. He's kind of 252 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: an important deal. So if you thought this was a 253 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: bigger deal and we've talked about calf strains and what 254 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: they lead to potentially in larger issues. You know, the 255 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: another guy we've been talking about a lot, that Durant guy, 256 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: right going back a couple of years, that you wouldn't 257 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 3: put that to chance. 258 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: So but it doesn't take much for the MRI. 259 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 3: Hey, guess what after breakfast you need to go report 260 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: to the tube. 261 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: Okay, cool, but you put it out there and and now. 262 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to do the excuse 263 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 3: making ego satisfaction to give him an out because you 264 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 3: know you can lose him for a stretch, as we've 265 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: talked about throughout these playoffs. But all that to say, 266 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 3: hopefully it's it's just an innocuous Hey, we're just taking 267 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: all precautions and checking all the boxes to make sure 268 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: there's nothing else there. 269 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: And then he comes out and plays like his hair's 270 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: on fire. At least that's the hope. Exit out about 271 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: a Fresca exit swallowed do I just I wanted it's 272 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of curious timing. I want to see how this 273 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: thing comes out, because look again, you saw thirty four 274 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: minutes last night, didn't come out of the game, wasn't 275 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: limping what it really something just really doesn't add up 276 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to this again, Exit Out about a 277 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: Fresca exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Apple Original 278 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: Films and Warner Brothers Pictures F one.

If I was eighty percent before, I am one 335 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent on board with Andy Paez all star one 336 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent. He looks like it's gonna be there for years. 337 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: He's solid everywhere at center field. He's a good enough fielder. 338 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: He does that. He hits for power, he knocks and runs, 339 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: he does he is he is just becoming a fantastic player. 340 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: Now you see why they stuck with him most of 341 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: the year last year where he struggled a lot, because look, 342 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: the Dodgers knowing we got a guy coming up, we 343 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: know how good he is. Right, they knew Paez was 344 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: coming And look at the guy. Now he's going to 345 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: play center field for the next decade and be an 346 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: All Star. 347 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 3: Only twenty four years old, one hundred and sixteen games 348 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 3: played last year, bad at two forty eight, already up 349 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: a good thirty five points on the year. Plus he's 350 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 3: already matched his home run in RBI production before tonight. 351 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: So there you go. 352 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 4: So you both are on board. 353 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. I get on board. 354 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 4: So there's only one stupid dummy here. 355 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: Don't care who's Who's that? 356 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 4: He's standing at the top of the stairs of the 357 00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 4: Padre dugout. 358 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if I was Pa Has, I would 359 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: have gone and walked over and said, don't you know 360 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 3: who I am? 361 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think he knows who he is. 362 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: Now I think about the bowling guy line, right, yeah, 363 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 3: the Pete Weber line. 364 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Love me or hate me? 365 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: You you watch me? Yeah? Uh so again, Yes, I'm 366 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: one hundred percent in with Andy pos for the All 367 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Star Game, right, I mean coming out just making sure 368 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: two eighty thirteen homers forty six RBIs got two more tonight. 369 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: His ops is pretty good. It's just over eight hundred 370 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: like this is. He just does it all, right. Yeah, 371 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: he's not someone he's not Otani, he's not someone that's good, 372 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: but he does it all and he gives you offense 373 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: and defense from the center field position, and it's it's 374 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 1: above average. Yeah. I'm completely down for him, man. I mean, 375 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm twenty four years old. He's gonna be All Star 376 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: the next ten years. 377 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting like Connor McDavid. 378 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Well, that's true. He does finish the job. 379 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: Twenty twelve US Open was when Pete Weber looked at 380 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 3: a Heckler and said, who do you think you are? 381 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: I am right there you go. S We'll have more 382 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: on this game coming up again. Three three Padres and 383 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers in the top of the fifth inning. But you 384 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: just mentioned Connor McDavid. We watched the Panthers win the 385 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup a big night, Sam Reyanhart four goals and 386 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: you haven't seen that in the Stanley Cup final game 387 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty seven. The Panthers win back to back 388 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: Stanley Cups to beat the Oilers for the second time. 389 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: And you know, just just a second, because you know, 390 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: to give you something, and I'm sure people will see 391 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: this Tomorrow's like, what am I gonna say about the NFL? 392 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: They're not gonna say anything about the Panthers. What they're terrific. 393 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: Let me talk about how great they are. This Oilers 394 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: team is incredibly talented, right, you have two of the 395 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: top five players in the game in Connor McDavid and 396 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: Leandre and McDavid still, you know, he's been in the 397 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: league near a decade now, so the question about him 398 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: is going to be Kenny win. But you're talking about 399 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: a team that is powered by two of the top 400 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: five players, right. This is this is the Bulls having 401 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: Jordan and pippin you know, at their disposal dirt in 402 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: the course of their careers and still here they are 403 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: falling short twice to the Florida Panthers. Now, what is it? 404 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Why the Panthers went back to back Cups. I'll tell 405 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: you exactly what it is. You watch the Panthers playing. 406 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: Unfortunately I get to watch a lot of them because 407 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: they go through my team to get to the Stanley 408 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: Cup final every bleeping year. They're a throwback to the 409 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: like the Islander and the Oiler dynasties of the eighties, 410 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: and if you want to talk about the the Mini 411 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: Red Wings dynasty in the mid to late nineties early 412 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: two thousands, like, that's what their throwbacks to because these 413 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: were teams that were just better than you everywhere. Right, 414 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: they have three lines that all do damage. Right Nowaday, 415 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: you don't have that in the NHL. You don't have 416 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: that kind of depth everywhere. You don't have you don't 417 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: have three lines that can all score goals. And they 418 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: go out and get brad marshand and now they have 419 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: young players and veteran players who are able to contribute. 420 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: These are how these dynastic teams are made, right, This 421 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: was the Islanders of the eighties, right. It was Bossy 422 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: and Tracy and Potvan and then Pat la Fontaine comes 423 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: in and same thing for the Oilers. It's Gretzky and Messi. 424 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: But then here comes Yari Curry and Paul Coffee, and 425 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: they keep these guys together and they're better than you everywhere. 426 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: Then the Red Wings with Eiserman and Federoff and Larionoff, 427 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: and then and then all the all the when they 428 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: had the five Russians playing together all the time. Then 429 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: here comes Darren McCarty and Chris Draper. They were just 430 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: better and more solid than you everywhere. And their defencemen 431 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: were good. Nicholas Linchen was one of the best defenders 432 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: in the NHL for a long time. Right, whether it 433 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: was Osgar or Vernon made no difference. That's what this 434 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: Florida Panthers team is like, and it's really incredible to watch. 435 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: Also very frustrating to see a team. But they're just 436 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: better than everybody everywhere. There's no weakness, there's no week, 437 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: there's no hey. If you're gonna win this series, you 438 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: have to make sure you convert on the power play, 439 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you are controlling, controlling whatever. 440 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing, there's nothing you can say there, there's there 441 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: there's nothing you can say, Okay, this is how you 442 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: beat this team. You have to hope your your goalie 443 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: stands on his head and you can get those times 444 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: and clearly that wasn't happening in the Stanley Cup Final 445 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: where the Oilers couldn't even figure out who their goalie 446 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: was going to be. But that's what this Panthers team 447 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: they throw. They remind me when I watched the Islanders 448 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: and I watched the Oilers and then the Red Wings. 449 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: It's like, yes, they all had really good players, but 450 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: they just had the right mix up and down the 451 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: roster where you could put the third line out there 452 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: and expect a big game, clinching Stanley Cup goal. Right, 453 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: you could do that, right, the Red Wings could put 454 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: their third line out there and you could get something 455 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: from Darren McCarty and Chris Draper. Right, you could do that. 456 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: You could see that, And that's kind of what this 457 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: Panthers team's remind me of. And this has been a 458 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: big run they have and it's not going anywhere like 459 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: this is not a team that suddenly, hey, it's gonna 460 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: get torn apart or ripped apart, like that's what's's been 461 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: doing for the last couple of years. This could be 462 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: one of those teams that, hey, three cups in a 463 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: row and we're saying, wait, wait are they going back? 464 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: They going back to the oiler that the the halcyon 465 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: days of the eighties when teams are winning three and 466 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: four Stanley Cups in a row, like, that's how good 467 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: this Panthers team is? Well, but that's beauty of it. 468 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: Right, You build and I don't know how much you 469 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 3: discount like the commission there did and many other folks 470 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: did about you know, Florida and income tax, because we 471 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 3: talk about it for every other sport. Right, in terms 472 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 3: of getting guys to sign buying into a culture or 473 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: staying put, it's like, hey, you save ten percent if 474 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: you stay here versus going there, and you've got a 475 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: winning culture and a nice life, so why would you 476 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 3: want to leave? So part of that is is just 477 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: what you've built as a roster. So yeah, they're not 478 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: going anywhere, and they come at you in waves. We've 479 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 3: seen the quick starts and obviously some legends in the making. 480 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 3: And who's not gonna want to sign on to try 481 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: to go for a third right, any of the free 482 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 3: agency issues and conversations they have, unless someone's really gonna 483 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: hit a multiplier like they're scratching off the bottom of 484 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: a scratch off lottery. 485 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: Ticket. 486 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 3: They're staying in Florida, so you're gonna have to run 487 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: through them again.

Oh by 746 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: the way, yeah, a little Fever move on to the 747 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: championship of the Commissioner's Cup. Caitlin Clark's second game back 748 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: from injury, twenty point six assists. She had four threes. 749 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: Indiana beats Connecticut pretty handily eighty eight seventy one, but 750 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: the game was extremely physical and there's a couple of 751 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: sequences you're gonna see all over the place, beginning in 752 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: the third quarter, when Caitlin Clark gets poked in the 753 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: eye by J. C. Sheldon of Connecticut. She kind of 754 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: flops a little bit, right because Kitlyn Clark is a 755 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: good flopper, right, I'll tell you she's a good flopper. 756 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 1: And then Marina Maybrey comes in and kind of shoves 757 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, while right after that happens Caitlyn Clark again, 758 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark is a good flopper. She falls to the ground, 759 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: but still very physical play. The sides have to be separated. 760 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: And then Sheldon late in the game, when the game 761 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: was already decided, steals races the other way and then 762 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: Sophie Cunningham of the Fever just wraps her up for 763 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: a hard foul. Is both arms wrapped around her shoulders 764 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: and there's a shoving match between two of them. Three 765 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: players all get tossed, and quite honestly, this is gonna 766 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: be the next way that teams try to combat the fever. Right, 767 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,439 Speaker 1: we talked about this last night. By game thirty, they're 768 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: gonna be viewed as the best team in the WNBA. 769 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 2: Right. 770 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: They made a lot of change to their team in 771 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: the offseason. Need a little bit of time for them 772 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: to gel, but they brought in some big time players, 773 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: and Caitlyn Clark is on the big middle finger tour 774 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: of blank you you hate me, watch me go through you. Right, 775 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: She's loved by everybody, but there's a look, there's a 776 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: lot of haters. You know, the players in the league 777 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: are jealous of her. She's like, okay, okay, you watch 778 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: you thought I was good last year. I'm stronger, I'm 779 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: bit more threes. Now I'm gonna a hot knife through 780 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: butter you. And this is gonna be the next thing 781 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: of what teams try to do. They're gonna try to 782 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: be physical and see if they can dominate the fever physically. 783 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: And you know, seeing how this went in this game 784 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, when this happened with Caitlyn Clark. 785 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark gets poked in the eye, then she gets 786 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: pushed to the floor. She gets up and walks away, right, 787 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: and this is this happened but the last time with 788 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Angel Reason And I'm like, Okay, at some point I 789 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: get she doesn't want to be in the middle of 790 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 1: a fracas because you know, look, you're the show, you're 791 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: the league, but you kind of have to stand on 792 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 1: your ground at some point, right, So when that happened, 793 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: I was like, man, she really has to kind of 794 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: stand in there and someone who's gonna push her and 795 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: not just go where's the foul, where's the foul and 796 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: leave her teammates to it. Right. I understand it because 797 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark is on a different level and wants to 798 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: stay in the game, doesn't want to get technical fouls, 799 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: doesn't want to get any sort of suspension, doesn't want 800 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: to leave anything up to the league to say, oh, here, 801 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark is this. But at some point you kind 802 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: of have to stand up. But you saw Sophie Cunningham 803 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: stand up for at the end with that big, hard 804 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: foul on Sheldon, So I find it hard to believe 805 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to physical intimidate the Indiana Fever. Right, 806 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: it'll be a strategy that's used, and it's just not 807 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: gonna happen because this Fever team is really talented. But 808 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: if I could say just one thing, the next time 809 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: that happens, Caitlyn Clark kind of has to stand up 810 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: for herself a little bit too, and not always just 811 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: walk away like it's a second time that's happened. Not 812 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,240 Speaker 1: saying she got to stand there and throw hay makers. 813 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: But you gotta do the fake you know, the fake 814 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: tough guy thing is say, yeah, come on, you want 815 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: to fight, you what, You're gonna get broken up and 816 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: people are gonna push you aside, but you gotta stand 817 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: there and make it at least look like you know 818 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: you want to do that to me, I'm coming back 819 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: at you. You gotta give me a little bit of 820 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: that when it happens. 821 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 3: No, and that's that's on her, you know, because she's 822 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 3: got no problem mixing it up. And then as soon 823 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 3: as it starts to escalate, it's the turn and walk 824 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 3: say all right, now it's someone else's problem to clean up. Fortunately, 825 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 3: she's got Sophie Cunningham, who is you know, being revered. 826 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 3: She put up on Instagram kind of a shoulder shrug 827 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 3: laughing emoji from a photo shoot alongside the video of 828 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 3: the play, which, by the way, Sheldon was gonna clear 829 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 3: her out with the elbow if she didn't come over 830 00:38:59,719 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 3: the time. 831 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: By the way, going for that for that layup. 832 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 3: But you know it's the you know, my my love 833 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 3: of the WWE kind of goes in because it's Sophie Cunningham, 834 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 3: beloved by all right, her fit and everything walking into 835 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 3: the arena is the one of the things that that 836 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 3: draws eyeballs. 837 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: And and and and all of that. 838 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 3: So you wouldn't think she'd be the one going and 839 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 3: becoming the enforcer. Guess what, uh she she's going full 840 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 3: live Morgan before the shoulder injury or Alexa Bliss or whatever, 841 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 3: to be the combination of both. I could be your 842 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 3: champion and still kick your ass, you know that kind 843 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 3: of thing. 844 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: Uh So, it's it's a. 845 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 3: Great development that you've got the enforcer role there because 846 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 3: you're gonna see more of this. But for Gitalin Clark, 847 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,879 Speaker 3: she does welcome in in. So eventually her teammates will 848 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 3: have to put their arm around your shoulder and go 849 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 3: can we not do this for one game? 850 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: Can we? Now? In this case it was a physical 851 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: thing Sheldon and she no love loss. 852 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 3: I think Sheldon's oh to twelve against her going back 853 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 3: to collegiate days and and certainly you get those frustration moments. 854 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 3: You don't get the shrug of the shoulders like you 855 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 3: had with Haley van lit here. You got a lot 856 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 3: of physicality and bumping before the eye scratch that that 857 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 3: we saw that precipitated this. But all of that to 858 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 3: say the physicality is something that we've seen time and 859 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 3: again with Caitlin Clark and how it gets adjudicated. I 860 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 3: think the officials are going to get a finger wagging 861 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 3: from the league as well, because they got called out 862 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 3: by the announcing crew for the duration of the game 863 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 3: for the lack of control that they showed in that 864 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 3: instance that then blew all the way up into that 865 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 3: Cunningham file at the end. 866 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean the physical strategy is gonna work, but it's 867 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: a strategy born out of desperation because again in the 868 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: coming weeks, the Fever gonna show they're the best team 869 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: in the w Just well and get ready. Every game 870 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a show exit about a Fresca exit, 871 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: swollen dome, Jason Smith, Mike Carmen Lack from the Fox 872 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios.
