Speaker 5: Hey?
Speaker 1: Oh TONI also NBA Summer League. Okay, you know it's
Speaker 1: a slow night when your wife says to you, what
Speaker 1: are you watching?
Speaker 6: You go?
Speaker 2: Well, cornhole right now?

Speaker 1: And then NBA Summer League coming up? And then also

Speaker 1: the Day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming, Todd,
Speaker 1: are you gonna do poll question duties here?
Speaker 2: Alright?
Speaker 7: You do that?
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll give it. Give the audience a sample here
Speaker 1: of what could be in store for them today.
Speaker 7: Can do that?
Speaker 4: Paul, he had one What would you most like to know?
Speaker 4: The outcome of Lillard trade, Northwestern's investigation, Rembanyama's career, or other.
Speaker 4: So that's something to think about.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 7: We had after.
Speaker 4: Watching Victor w in his first two Summer League games,
Speaker 4: I think he will have a respectable NBA career. He'll
Speaker 4: be an all time great. Someday he won't come close
Speaker 4: to living up to expectations, or it's ridiculous to evaluate
Speaker 4: a player after two meaningless games.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: We also had what's least likely, least likely James Harden
Speaker 4: to the Clippers, Dame to the Heat, Chris Paul will
Speaker 4: be a bad fit on Golden State, Victor will be
Speaker 4: an NBA bust, or that I tuned in for any
Speaker 4: of the MLB drafts, what's the least likely?
Speaker 1: I watched the first two the LSU teammates. Here's the
Speaker 1: problem with Baseball's drafting. And you know, in no particular
Speaker 1: order what we're discussing today, but I was watching the
Speaker 1: draft and I go, you know what, these LSU players
Speaker 1: coming off the World Series and highly thought of, you know,
Speaker 1: the pitcher Paul's schemes is considered, you know, maybe the
Speaker 1: next mark prior from the standpoint of being the perfect pitcher.
Speaker 1: Remember Mark Pryor when he was coming out of college.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's the perfect picture. Steven Strasburg. We
Speaker 1: were told, oh, that's the perfect picture. There is no
Speaker 1: perfect picture. But Paul Skins out of LSU is highly touted.
Speaker 1: He's going to the Pirates, and I thought, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. I won't see him for three more years.
Speaker 1: No other sport fails to capitalize off championships like baseball does.
Speaker 1: Why is it that an eighteen year old can go
Speaker 1: right out of high school, maybe a year in the
Speaker 1: G League or college, go right.
Speaker 2: To the NBA.
Speaker 1: You know, Adrian Peterson was ready to play after his
Speaker 1: freshman year at Oklahoma. Now he had to wait because
Speaker 1: college football makes you wait. In the NFL in conjunction
Speaker 1: makes you wait. But still you get to see them.
Speaker 1: That's the problem with you know, baseball players. You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, we're gonna wait a little while here
Speaker 1: see these guys at LSU.
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, Oh that's right that guy. Yeah you
Speaker 2: want a title? How many years ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul, you really have to go back three years.
Speaker 3: Like if you go back to the draft, usually it's
Speaker 3: three years.
Speaker 8: You kind of know what's what?
Speaker 3: Like three years ago the twenty nineteen draft, Adley Rushman
Speaker 3: to the Orioles, Bobby Witt Junior to the Royals, Andrew
Speaker 3: Vaughn of the Socks, Josh Young for the Rangers. These
Speaker 3: guys are all playing really well right now. But half
Speaker 3: of the draft and looking the draft aren't in the
Speaker 3: big shot. I'd say half of the first round have
Speaker 3: not me the bigs after three years.
Speaker 1: Okay, shouldn't there be a well, this would be if
Speaker 1: we ran baseball that every player drafted in thet's say,
Speaker 1: the first fifteen picks of Major League Baseball the draft,
Speaker 1: you get to go to the big league as soon
Speaker 1: as you get drafted, Like.
Speaker 2: You will find a roster spy for you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, like Paul Skeens could be pitching for
Speaker 1: the Pirates tomorrow. Like that would be great. You're able
Speaker 1: to capitalize on that. But also we're wondering Elie de
Speaker 1: la Cruz with the Reds. Can we put him in
Speaker 1: the All Star Game tomorrow night? Does the commissioner? I
Speaker 1: guess he has the power, but can you can you
Speaker 1: add they've added players before, usually players who are retiring.
Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, cal Ripken, you get to play, Miguel Cabrera,
Speaker 1: you get to play, Like, how about a cameo here
Speaker 1: for you guys. Let's say goodbye to these great players.
Speaker 1: But what about you know, some of the emerging stars
Speaker 1: here who aren't going to be in the All Star Game. Now,
Speaker 1: they like to have that futures game, but nobody cares
Speaker 1: about that. I want to see them be able to play.
Speaker 1: And you know, the Reds have a couple of really
Speaker 1: good players, but it'd be fun to see them in
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. I know they have to be
Speaker 1: worthy and there's voting process and then what managers are
Speaker 1: picking the rest of the roster, but it would be
Speaker 1: fun to see him because yesterday he stole three bases
Speaker 1: in ninety seconds. He stole second, third, and home in
Speaker 1: ninety seconds.
Speaker 2: Be fun.
Speaker 1: He's one of those, you know, you know, transformational type
Speaker 1: of players where you go, oh my god, that guy,
Speaker 1: he's gone from this to that and the excitement level
Speaker 1: that he gives you.
Speaker 2: Yes, Pump, it.
Speaker 3: Appears that the commissioner could do that. I think the
Speaker 3: commissioner can kind of doly want with the All Star
Speaker 3: Game because it's an exhibition. I can't find that it's
Speaker 3: ever been done before. The young player was inserted in
Speaker 3: the All Star Game. That was just like he only
Speaker 3: played thirty games and can you get in? I wonder
Speaker 3: what the reaction will be to that.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe it's just me that I be fun to
Speaker 1: see that happen there. It's like, you know what, now,
Speaker 1: I don't want to take somebody off the roster. I
Speaker 1: don't want well, that's good TV. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: the commissioner walks up to somebody or the manager goes, hey,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Lipper come here.
Speaker 2: Yes, skip, we got somebody who's.
Speaker 1: Going to replace. She's more exciting there. What Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we got some nice parting gifts there, yes, ton.
Speaker 8: Like a baseball hard knocks kind of thing. When we
Speaker 8: need the book back from there?
Speaker 1: Age seven seven three DP Show email address Dpat Danpatrick
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at DP show and we have
Speaker 1: the poll question email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com Twitter handle.
Speaker 1: A DP show operator Tyler standing by to take your
Speaker 1: phone calls. A lot of reaction to us going to
Speaker 1: Ireland coming up next month, and it was pointed out
Speaker 1: to me that Will Ferrell, while he's joining us, doesn't
Speaker 1: like Notre Day.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, USC guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, used to stand on the sidelines and apparently, according
Speaker 1: to Brady Quinn, make fun of the former Notre Dame
Speaker 1: quarterback while he was playing. And I said, okay, what's
Speaker 1: the problem with that? But Will Ferrell will join us
Speaker 1: in Ireland. We'll be doing our shows over there at
Speaker 1: the end of the month, and then we cap it
Speaker 1: off with Notre Dame and Navy. Last I look Notre
Speaker 1: Dame favored by twenty Yes, pom, I.
Speaker 3: Could see Will showing up on set with a full
Speaker 3: naval uniform full.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that.
Speaker 8: Get in trouble for that, Yeah, it'd be wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fine with that.
Speaker 8: He's officially in though.
Speaker 1: By the way, has anybody stole for the cycle before,
Speaker 1: like stole second third in home? I guess you know
Speaker 1: that would be over a course of a game. When's
Speaker 1: the last time somebody stole second third in home in
Speaker 1: a game? He did it in ninety seconds. Maybe we
Speaker 1: could get some of our best people on that or
Speaker 1: research people.
Speaker 2: Yes, poem.
Speaker 3: By the way, a lot of people are asking that picture.
Speaker 3: You had a pretty good looking fish there in Montana. Yes,
Speaker 3: what's the etiquette? Like, how often do you catch a fish.
Speaker 3: It was a lot of work to get your first one.
Speaker 1: This was on the Wise River, the Big Hole in Montana.
Speaker 1: The complete fly fisherman is where I I went to
Speaker 1: and stayed there with two of my brothers. But you
Speaker 1: show up early, have breakfast, and then you get all
Speaker 1: packed up and then you head out on the river
Speaker 1: and then you're out there for about seven hours and
Speaker 1: I think I caught about twenty five trout. Now it's
Speaker 1: catch and release. By the way, the brown trout are unbelievable.
Speaker 1: They are beace like they're killers, but give you know,
Speaker 1: a great fight, and they're barbleous hooks, so it's really
Speaker 1: hard to land them. They're very smart fish. But we
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun and caught a couple of
Speaker 1: fish that were about twenty inches long, and you know,
Speaker 1: you know, there were a couple that got away, a
Speaker 1: couple of big ones that got away with other people
Speaker 1: who I was fishing with, where one I thought we
Speaker 1: needed a bigger boat because it actually was hooked and
Speaker 1: it was pulling the boat and then it snapped the line.
Speaker 1: But the scenery is spectacular there, beautiful and a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. But I will say it's not Brad pitt
Speaker 1: in a river runs through it. Just want to let
Speaker 1: you know it's not that glamorous. At least we didn't
Speaker 1: look that glamorous the way we were fly fishing. There
Speaker 1: was nothing in slow motion. It was all you know,
Speaker 1: I think I got my line caught in that bush
Speaker 1: over there.
Speaker 2: Yes, Paul, you don't keep a couple of.
Speaker 8: The big ones to cook later over a roaring fire and.
Speaker 2: No nothing, No, I love that it's catching.
Speaker 3: Really, you guys don't like roll into Billings to go
Speaker 3: to red lobster do what do you do for dinner?
Speaker 2: No? No, we had chef. They had a husband and wife.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable chefs that they cooked every single night, every single night.
Speaker 2: And I met a.
Speaker 1: Musician, Less Claypool. Yeah, he was there. Sean Lennon, John
Speaker 1: Lennon's son was there fly fishing. So it was a
Speaker 1: group of people there that you kind of throw everybody
Speaker 1: together and you're out there fly fishing for a couple
Speaker 1: of days.
Speaker 2: Yes, Ton, what is the.
Speaker 4: Safe window of time to get that truck back in
Speaker 4: the water so that nothing terrible happens to the first.
Speaker 1: Well, you have guides who will help you with that,
Speaker 1: and they're very, very very knowledgeable, and they'll be If
Speaker 1: they can't get the hook out, they leave it in
Speaker 1: the net in the water and then you know, bring
Speaker 1: it back up. But they're very aware and very sensitive of,
Speaker 1: you know, keeping this place beautiful.
Speaker 2: I didn't get see any.
Speaker 1: Real animals, but I did talk to a woman who
Speaker 1: gave me a ride to the airport and I said,
Speaker 1: she goes, did you see any wildlife? And I go, no, No,
Speaker 1: didn't see any elk or moose or and she goes, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a problem with uh with wolves
Speaker 1: And I go with wolves, She goes, yes, a lot
Speaker 1: of them. And in the wintertime, we found that one
Speaker 1: of the wolves went on our front porch and grabbed
Speaker 1: the family dog.
Speaker 8: And I go, what not grab and tickle either?
Speaker 2: No, like, hey.
Speaker 1: Around, yeah, grab and go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they got the dog back.
Speaker 1: But but the wolves are very aggressive.
Speaker 8: Did they catch and release you like that?
Speaker 1: There wasn't even a catch and release with the dog,
Speaker 1: but they scared the wolf. But yeah, you know, you're
Speaker 1: up there and you forget you're in the wilderness there.
Speaker 2: I mean it's that.
Speaker 1: They got bear, you know, I mean, they got stuff
Speaker 1: going on there. But we didn't see any of that
Speaker 1: I think it was too warm for these animals to
Speaker 1: come out. But you know, there's not a cloud in
Speaker 1: the sky, so when they say big sky country, there's
Speaker 1: no cover. So when you're out in the sun, there's
Speaker 1: no clouds whatsoever, it feels like and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they start to emerge a little bit later
Speaker 1: in the day. But a lot of fun and caught
Speaker 1: some fish, so good vacation had by one in all.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. We'll get our poll
Speaker 1: question today. I am going to talk about victor Ie
Speaker 1: by Yama. I'm going to talk about what's going on
Speaker 1: at Northwestern with their football program, to talk about the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. I got an update on the PAC twelve
Speaker 1: and what direction they're headed in. They may not be
Speaker 1: aware of what direction they're headed in. Stat of the

Speaker 1: contact with any wolves when I was in Montana. I
Speaker 1: was just told a story about a woman whose dog
Speaker 1: got cartered off the front porch by a wolf. This
Speaker 1: program brought to you by Mercedes Benz, the Versatile EQB,
Speaker 1: the Sublime EQS Sedan. Mercedes Benz makes electric extraor ordinary,
Speaker 1: the vehicle's electric, the feeling all Mercedes MBUSA dot Com
Speaker 1: slash EQ, I.
Speaker 2: Ask and we deliver.
Speaker 1: How many players have had I guess stole for the cycle, second,
Speaker 1: third and home in the same inning. Fourteen players have
Speaker 1: done it since nineteen seventy four. Elie Dela Cruz the
Speaker 1: latest to do so. John Birdie of the Marlins did
Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty. Let's see, Yeah, this has happened
Speaker 1: quite a few times. A couple of really good players,
Speaker 1: Devon White, Paul Mollider, Dusty Baker, Pete Rose. Okay, so
Speaker 1: pretty good list there. But Elie Delacruz very exciting. He
Speaker 1: is a highlight waiting to happen. And you know he's
Speaker 1: given the Reds. They're interesting now, and that's what you want.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be average. And then nobody's interested
Speaker 1: in the red There above average and they are interesting.
Speaker 1: That's what you're looking for. And if you're the Pirates
Speaker 1: and you get the number one pick in the draft,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just say, Paul, how about we pitch
Speaker 1: a little bit here?
Speaker 2: How about we give you a takes now.
Speaker 1: They don't like you to get you into that first
Speaker 1: contract too soon, you know, they don't want you to
Speaker 1: all of a sudden go, you know, I'm ready to
Speaker 1: renegotiate here after a couple of years. If you were
Speaker 1: watching Summer League basketball on Friday night, and maybe you weren't,
Speaker 1: but social media was going to let you know about
Speaker 1: Victor one Byama. He made his debut and you know
Speaker 1: it wasn't impressive at all. But for those who overreact
Speaker 1: on Friday, are you overreacting last night? Because Victor one
Speaker 1: Byama doesn't show you much on Friday night? And they
Speaker 1: were sort of average numbers, pedestrian numbers where you go
Speaker 1: nine and eight and a couple of blocks there, and
Speaker 1: then last night you got to see the glimpses of
Speaker 1: what he could be. But keep this in mind, he's
Speaker 1: had two practices, he's nineteen years of age. You're playing
Speaker 1: with guys that you really don't know, and this is
Speaker 1: sort of an AAU type feel. There's some bad basketball
Speaker 1: being played. And as I've maintained with Victor Wan Bayama,
Speaker 1: the impact you're going to have or see is on
Speaker 1: the defensive end. That's where if you can be casual
Speaker 1: in your approach on the defensive end. He's casual. He's
Speaker 1: the big casual because he'll just block a shot and
Speaker 1: it won't be I'm going to send it to the
Speaker 1: seventh row. It'll be just like, let me block that,
Speaker 1: let me blunt that, and he'll tip a rebound to himself,
Speaker 1: you know, no dramatic Dennis Rodman type rebounds, like it's
Speaker 1: just a let me tip it here. He's a very
Speaker 1: bright player and understands and he knows the process is
Speaker 1: going to take a little bit of time. But he
Speaker 1: also has, you know the luxury of having Greg Popovich,
Speaker 1: who is you know, coached big men and coach them
Speaker 1: when they were twenty three years or twenty four years
Speaker 1: of age. Because David Robinson came in after four years
Speaker 1: at the Naval Academy. Tim Duncan spent four years at
Speaker 1: Wake Forest. Victor Wan Bayama is just coming in and
Speaker 1: he's still learning the process here, and he had this
Speaker 1: to say about how he enjoys the NBA.
Speaker 9: First of all, the court is more open. It's going fast,
Speaker 9: but it's it's less physical, and I get fellow in
Speaker 9: love but not as much. Nothing to compare and people
Speaker 9: hear people players are just flying. You know, out there
Speaker 9: is more underground, pushing under ground, big bux house. Here,
Speaker 9: it's great athletes, the best in the world, more way
Speaker 9: more talent. But I like this better though.
Speaker 1: He's fun to watch, but understand what you're watching because
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a highlight, he doesn't even dunk.
Speaker 1: And there's no three sixties. He's not Zion Williamson. He's
Speaker 1: not going to break a backboard. There is an elegance
Speaker 1: about how we played it, and I don't need to
Speaker 1: get two carried away here. But having watched this game
Speaker 1: for over fifty years, you're watching him play and you
Speaker 1: can almost see him having a Rolodex in his mind
Speaker 1: where he's picking up things that he'll use down the road.
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's going to be his first year,
Speaker 1: except for he's going to block a boatload of shots.
Speaker 1: I don't like these off balance jumpers that he takes.
Speaker 1: He can hit a three, he's got a good handle.
Speaker 1: And at the defensive end, he is going to be
Speaker 1: a force. As far as offensively, that's where it takes
Speaker 1: a little while. I could understand that, but he's a
Speaker 1: matchup nightmare. He's seven to four. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, he's still seven to four. You get tired.
Speaker 1: At the end of the game, he's still seven to four.
Speaker 1: He is going to block a lot of shots. And
Speaker 1: Kareem came out and said, and Jerry West said this,
Speaker 1: there's a Bill Russell type feel to him. And that's
Speaker 1: a wonderful compliment because especially at the defensive Bill Russell
Speaker 1: was about blocking your shot, getting your shot, starting a
Speaker 1: fast break. Bill Russell was about rebounding, getting it out,
Speaker 1: getting on the run here and that's what Victor wan
Speaker 1: Baiyama is going to do. The offense will take care
Speaker 1: of it itself, but it's going to take a little while.
Speaker 1: And I don't think this is and I watched social
Speaker 1: media on Friday. Oh he's got a bull cup oh,
Speaker 1: he used to be like, oh, big high, Oh he's
Speaker 1: not going to live up too. Okay, it's one game,
Speaker 1: So if you're going to react to that, then you
Speaker 1: have to react.
Speaker 2: To what you saw last night.
Speaker 1: How about you don't overreact, just watch it and enjoy.
Speaker 1: I have a list here.
Speaker 2: Let me see if I can find the list here. Yes, Paulin, you.
Speaker 3: Know what thing that really stood out? I look back
Speaker 3: at some old Summer league like stats. Luka Danca didn't
Speaker 3: even play in summer league. He was a little late
Speaker 3: to it, so it didn't play him.
Speaker 2: He said, you didn't have his contract done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did have some contract situation, so he didn't
Speaker 3: play in summer league. Yeah, but then he had an
Speaker 3: unbelievable rookie year Steph Curry. I think average like twenty
Speaker 3: seven in summer league is a rookie, you know, a
Speaker 3: summer league. But then he had kind of an average
Speaker 3: rookie year. One thing I stood up about Victor is
Speaker 3: when he when he's gardening, the guards and the wing players,
Speaker 3: he plays off them because he can, and then he
Speaker 3: waits till they go up with their shot and he
Speaker 3: just jumps out like a broomstick. I mean it looks
Speaker 3: like he's had got a broomstick in his hand and
Speaker 3: they had to like chuck it to get it over.
Speaker 8: It's really cool defense.
Speaker 1: I remember when I think it might have been University
Speaker 1: of Houston, they were preparing for Kareem Abdul Jabbar and
Speaker 1: they actually had somebody stand on a chair with a broomstick,
Speaker 1: just to give you the impression of that's what it's
Speaker 1: going to be like to shoot over this guy.
Speaker 2: By the way, if I if I.
Speaker 1: Give you these names, Keegan Murray, Davion Mitchell, cam Thomas,
Speaker 1: Brandon Clark, Josh Hart, Lonzo Ball, Ty Jones, Kyle Anderson,
Speaker 1: Glenn Rice Jr.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, I'm a geek summer league. Yes, you're right,
Speaker 2: blue bloop summer league. Who stand of a day, stand
Speaker 2: a day, stand outa day, scant outa day. This is
Speaker 2: the stud of the neme.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily an indicator of success. Now, these are
Speaker 1: good players, but we're looking at Victor Wanbayama and he's
Speaker 1: supposed to be the next Lebron. His impact not that
Speaker 1: style of player, but he is supposed to have that
Speaker 1: big of an impact. There's an expectation level that we
Speaker 1: take in whether it's biased or not.
Speaker 2: I just watch.
Speaker 1: I just want to see what do you do well?
Speaker 1: What's your footwork like? First thing I noticed with a
Speaker 1: big man, what's your footwork like? How are you at passing?
Speaker 1: Those are the two things that I noticed. Then I
Speaker 1: want to know your touch. I want to know if
Speaker 1: you can make free throws. So I sort of look
Speaker 1: at it differently than probably most people.
Speaker 2: You're looking for highlights. You're not going to get highlights.
Speaker 2: You're just not. It's just not who he is.
Speaker 1: And I think as he builds, as he grows physically mentally,
Speaker 1: And then I Popovich just signed a five year contract.
Speaker 1: It's like, if they didn't get Victor one Byama, would
Speaker 1: Greg Popovich have signed that five year contract extension? Five years,
Speaker 1: eighty million dollars? And from what I'm told, he gets
Speaker 1: paid whether he coaches the five years or not. But
Speaker 1: he's going to be there with Victor one Byama, And uh,
Speaker 1: I wonder if they had gotten the second pick in
Speaker 1: the draft and it was Scoot Henderson, would pop be
Speaker 1: signing a five year contract extension? Probably not, probably not,
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden you got Victor one by Ama.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being assistant coach going.
Speaker 2: Oh god, if we get Victor one Byama, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to be able to coach.
Speaker 1: Or you go, oh man, if we get Victor pop
Speaker 1: steps down. Hello, Now, all of a sudden, I'm the
Speaker 1: next Greg Popovich. You get that word that you're like, uh, wait,
Speaker 1: pop is he's five five years Yeah.
Speaker 2: I figure I'd stick around for five years. See how
Speaker 2: the kid developed.
Speaker 3: Cheer Yeah, PAULI, he'll be eighty at the end of
Speaker 3: this contract. He turned seventy five the season.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's one for you. Let's say you're Bill Belichick,
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. Maybe those guys are in their early seventies.
Speaker 1: If if you get Caleb Williams. Let's say Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: gets Caleb Williams, how long is that going to extend
Speaker 1: him coaching the Patriots. I'm trying to think if anybody
Speaker 1: else would be in there. You know, Pete Carroll doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily have a franchise quarterback, But if they got Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: then you'd go, all right, you know, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stick around here a little while. Anybody else. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of any other older coaches who don't
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback, and Belichick's the prime example.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden he gets Caleb Williams and.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, all right, coach, going to stay around
Speaker 1: here a little bit EIGHTE seven to seven three DP
Speaker 1: show Email addressed depa Dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle
Speaker 1: a TP show. We got the All Star break and
Speaker 1: Home Run Derby coming up tonight, Dan, and Florida leads
Speaker 1: us off. Hi Dan, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: I just had a little event with a grizzly and
Speaker 6: Yellowstone basically got chased by grizzly bearer got a live
Speaker 6: to tell about it. They were going northeast or I
Speaker 6: was going east west. They were going north south. Bear
Speaker 6: saw me on the highway, came after me, covered one
Speaker 6: hundred yards and the time it took me to go
Speaker 6: about twenty. Luckily I was going on a perpendicular. They
Speaker 6: apparently can't cut very well, but they can come match
Speaker 6: it forty miles an hour. So I got lucky and
Speaker 6: did everything you're not supposed to do. Then you realized
Speaker 6: how low on the from Kyre.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 1: Yes, somebody was telling me that our guide was one
Speaker 1: of those guys who lives in a small house where
Speaker 1: he cuts his own firewood.
Speaker 2: He's just got a stove in there.
Speaker 8: Oh, he's a man.
Speaker 1: He goes out and you know he'll hunt elk in
Speaker 1: the winter and then you know he'll dress it and
Speaker 1: then bring it back and that's his food for the
Speaker 1: one like a real real man. And you know, he
Speaker 1: was talking about being chased by a bear and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he said, you their sense of smell is
Speaker 1: a mile away. And he just said, you know, once
Speaker 1: they track you like you, you got to make a decision.
Speaker 1: And he had a bow and arrow, but but he
Speaker 1: wasn't going to shoot the bear unless he was gonna
Speaker 1: get killed. You know, it's weird when you have like,
Speaker 1: how was your day today? Hunh you know, got chased
Speaker 1: by a bear? But you know I didn't use the
Speaker 1: bow and arrow there, like, okay, how was yours?
Speaker 7: Great?
Speaker 1: I went to Taco bell and then I went to
Speaker 1: bed bath and beyond you know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: So they say you stand motionless if there's a bear, and.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you could do that, or you.
Speaker 3: Walk slowly backwards, real slowly and just trying to walk
Speaker 3: away from the situation and never run.
Speaker 1: Said no, And then I said, but I thought bears
Speaker 1: could climb trees, and they said, no, cubs can.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 1: I believe, but I didn't have to worry about this.
Speaker 1: But you know, they did talk about that there's bears,
Speaker 1: and you know, there's mountain lions, and there's wolves and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going on there. And I said, good,
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully we won't run into that.
Speaker 2: Yes, Marv, Bridgeport doesn't sound bad at all.
Speaker 1: No, No, Connecticut, Connecticut didn't sound bad, you know. But
Speaker 1: I didn't run into any.
Speaker 2: Of that though, just you know, but you're a man, though,
Speaker 2: so you I had.
Speaker 1: Not a man, I would have cried because I don't
Speaker 1: know how bears react if you just get in the
Speaker 1: fetal position and cry, but that's probably that would have
Speaker 1: been my defense.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, is it the same with other animals?
Speaker 3: Like if you run into a wolf, is it the
Speaker 3: same thing walks slowly away or is there a different strategy?
Speaker 8: That'd be nice to know. It is like a flip
Speaker 8: chart that we could add.
Speaker 1: I wasn't told, like in case of right, that's something
Speaker 1: you want to know because if.
Speaker 2: You encounter dot dot dot, but I I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't get a flip chart there that I would
Speaker 1: have on my wrists like quarterbacks. Yeah yeah, but real
Speaker 1: quick though, as you know, you get all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you're encountering a bear or wolf.
Speaker 2: Let me flip this up.
Speaker 1: The run in a crooked don't run straight.
Speaker 2: I survived though, It's fine. Ip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't a run pass option. Hell, it would
Speaker 1: have been just run was the only option there. Let's
Speaker 1: see Gus in La. Hi, Gus, good morning. What's on
Speaker 1: your mind today?
Speaker 5: Good morning, mister Patrick, Welcome back, hope you and the
Speaker 5: boys had a great time off. So best of the weekend,
Speaker 5: you know, kind of a odd one for us out
Speaker 5: here in La. You know, the Dodgers have been on
Speaker 5: a bit of a skid, having you know, got as
Speaker 5: a little nervous, and then we played the Angels and
Speaker 5: just beat the healthy crap out of the Angels both nights.
Speaker 7: And then every time that Altwani would come up, Dodger
Speaker 7: Nation would.
Speaker 5: Welcome him as on our own time. I know, it
Speaker 5: was wonderful.
Speaker 7: That was the best of the weekend, considering the fact
Speaker 7: that you know that our pitching staff has been absolutely
Speaker 7: just terrible. Worst of the week and you know, kind
Speaker 7: of it happened last week, but we'll consider the weekend
Speaker 7: since the boys were off. Mike Trout, Mike Trout breaks
Speaker 7: another bone. Yeah, he's out six to eight weeks. Is
Speaker 7: Mike Trout approaching that of Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, you know,
Speaker 7: the best, one of the best, to never win it?
Speaker 1: Well, I would say no, because he's not. He hasn't
Speaker 1: been on the stage to play in a World Series,
Speaker 1: to lose a World Series. Whereas Carl Malone played in
Speaker 1: a couple of NBA finals or Charles Barkley played an
Speaker 1: NBA finals. They at least got there, you know. And
Speaker 1: it's easier for one great player to impact a basketball
Speaker 1: team than one great player to impact a baseball team.
Speaker 1: But Mike Trout, it's almost like out of sight, out
Speaker 1: of mind, where you go, Oh, that's right, Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: But I think until he gets into the postseason, plays
Speaker 1: in the postseason. You know, the Red Sox at least
Speaker 1: got to the World Series before they won it, and
Speaker 1: they won, they lost in heartbreaking fashion, but they at
Speaker 1: least got there. And that's the difference with Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: He's had three playoff games. Let's see it. And if
Speaker 1: you're if your show Heyutani, you can't help, but go
Speaker 1: God do I want to be Mike Trout Well, he's
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame. But how many postseasons
Speaker 1: are you going to go without an appearance? And now
Speaker 1: you just got hurt? Now your chances? I mean you
Speaker 1: were close and now you know? Now what happens at
Speaker 1: the All Star break? Does anything happen at the All
Speaker 1: Star Break? Do the Angels? Are they more likely? Less likely?
Speaker 1: Jeff passing from the Mothership will join us coming up
Speaker 1: next hour. And this is a topic that we've been
Speaker 1: on for quite some time. I hope show Hey Otani
Speaker 1: stays with the Angels. I do, But you start to
Speaker 1: put yourself in his position. You've lost nine to ten.
Speaker 1: Mike Trounce out Rendon has never lived up to as advertised.
Speaker 1: You know, you're a nondescript team. He's wonderful, he's spectacular,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be worth whatever they're going to
Speaker 1: pay him. But do you just say, as his agent, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to test the market. We may re sign
Speaker 1: with the Angels, but we're going to test the market.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Angels, and if you know that,
Speaker 1: because that's all I would want to know. Just tell
Speaker 1: us if you're going to test the market, then we
Speaker 1: have to consider trading you. We just have we're running
Speaker 1: a business here, and I don't know if the agent
Speaker 1: will tell the Angels that, but they may be factoring
Speaker 1: in that. Otani likes it there. He's comfortable there, but he.
Speaker 2: Does want to win. You saw him at the World
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic when he won. I mean that was a
Speaker 2: big deal.
Speaker 1: Guys, get a taste of that, and then you don't
Speaker 1: want to settle and go, yeah, I'm making a lot
Speaker 1: of money, but these are meaningless games, like they're getting
Speaker 1: towards that that crossroads here, the fork in the road.
Speaker 1: And as Yogi Barro once said, when you get to
Speaker 1: the fork in the road, take it. You just understanding that.
Speaker 1: Mark just got it, Okay. I always love when you
Speaker 1: and I got a chance to be around Yogi Bearra
Speaker 1: later in his life, and I remember him. He had
Speaker 1: this line where he was talking. He was talking to
Speaker 1: somebody else on the Yankee staff and he goes, Uh,
Speaker 1: that restaurant that's so crowded, nobody goes there anymore. It's
Speaker 1: just too crowded. And then you're going, somebody's going there.
Speaker 2: He goes. Nobody goes there. It's too crowded, Yes, Pony.
Speaker 3: The Angels, Yeah, they've won one game of the last nine,
Speaker 3: five in a row, so they're now five games out
Speaker 3: of the wildcar. We left for break there, one game
Speaker 3: out of the wildcar.
Speaker 8: Back to Mike Trout, He's played what eleven years? Twelve years?
Speaker 3: He has one postseason hit in his career in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3: He's not even in that position that Clayton Kershaw was
Speaker 3: in a couple of years ago, where he was postseason
Speaker 3: hurt his career because he was lights out in the
Speaker 3: regular season. In the postseason, he's kind of below average
Speaker 3: to be fair, or he not come up big.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: Trout doesn't even have failure in the postseason. He has
Speaker 8: no appearances.
Speaker 2: By the way, is this just a coincidence?
Speaker 1: Let me take a break because I was fascinated by
Speaker 1: this and maybe I thought too much about it.
Speaker 2: Had to do with the Angels.
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers in show. Heyo, Tony, We'll take a break.

Speaker 2: He'll steal third base heavy day of the cruise will
Speaker 2: without even a throw. Heck, the third baseman, Brian Brian
Speaker 2: Anderson didn't even go.
Speaker 4: Now I was coming home, Henny safe.
Speaker 2: He threw the ball back to the picture.
Speaker 11: He fell asleep on the ball in the one day

Speaker 11: nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Eerie Yes, Uh, that's.
Speaker 1: Courtesy of WLW, the Red's radio network. That is your
Speaker 1: play of the day, hottest Rookie's biggest superstar is the
Speaker 1: old time greats, and there's only one place to collect
Speaker 1: them all. Panini Trading Cards. The official trading cards of
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show, autograph cards, Instant Classics, Member Billia cards,
Speaker 1: rare inserts and more started continue collection now Panini America
Speaker 1: dot that all right.
Speaker 2: Prior to the commercial break, I mentioned that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a coincidence, but if
Speaker 1: it was, it was great, And if it wasn't, it
Speaker 1: was still great. The Dodgers in the Angels, you have
Speaker 1: Shoheiu Tani, who was welcome by the Dodger crowding. You know,
Speaker 1: they didn't boo him, they didn't treat him like he's
Speaker 1: the enemy. It's like, hey, you're going to be in
Speaker 1: a Dodger uniform few months, we welcome you in. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what one of the Knights was with the Dodgers
Speaker 1: and the Angels. You know they have appreciation nights. It
Speaker 1: was Japanese Heritage Appreciation Night this weekend with the Angels, okay,
Speaker 1: and I think they had Ruy Hanchamura throw out the
Speaker 1: first pitch. Just a coincidence that shoe Hey Otani is
Speaker 1: there and it's Japanese Heritage month that we're going to
Speaker 1: have appreciation night and Ruy Hanchimura.
Speaker 2: Of the Lakers is gonna throw out the first pitch. Yes, Mom, I.
Speaker 3: Still think I know this is not going to go
Speaker 3: over well. That the Angels should absolutely call the Dodgers
Speaker 3: first for trading Otani. The Dodgers had the best farm
Speaker 3: system and the most talent in all of baseball. They
Speaker 3: could afford him. He doesn't have to move far Otani.
Speaker 3: They like star power with the Dodgers. If I'm the Angels,
Speaker 3: I want to be the Dodgers. I don't want to
Speaker 3: be the Angel and taking their entire farm system would
Speaker 3: be a step in that direction.
Speaker 1: Otani's two hundred and twenty six total bases the most
Speaker 1: by a player at the All Star Break since J. D.
Speaker 1: Martinez had to twenty eight in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: Stat of It Today sat the day that best stat
Speaker 2: of the day.
Speaker 5: Stat of the.
Speaker 8: Day here it comes that what stat of the day.
Speaker 7: Show?
Speaker 1: Hey Otani with thirty two home runs, He's the fourth
Speaker 1: player to have at least thirty two home runs at
Speaker 1: the All Star break multiple times. He had thirty three
Speaker 1: at the break in twenty twenty one. The other players
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy, Junior, Mark McGuire, and Sammy Sosa. So pretty
Speaker 1: impressive list there with Junior, McGuire and Sosa. We got
Speaker 1: some phone calls here what's the poll question? We went
Speaker 1: with Todd since Seatan's not here today.
Speaker 4: We signed with Pauli's what would you most like to
Speaker 4: know the outcome of Lillard trade? Forty one percent, when
Speaker 4: Banyama's career thirty five percent, Other eighteen percent, Northwestern Investigation
Speaker 4: six percent.
Speaker 1: All Right, The thing with Dame Lillard is, and I've
Speaker 1: said this from the outset, it felt like both parties
Speaker 1: knew what was best. Dame knew what was best for him,
Speaker 1: Portland knew what was best for the franchise. The question
Speaker 1: was going to be who was going to say it first.
Speaker 1: And while I think Dame wanted the Blazers to say
Speaker 1: that we're going to trade you, or we need to
Speaker 1: trade you, or we have an offer we can't refuse.
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 1: Maybe it came down to Dame realizing, you know what,
Speaker 1: I should be the one if I want out, then
Speaker 1: I should be the one who's going to, you know,
Speaker 1: put my name behind this. And then Portland said, Okay,
Speaker 1: where do you want to go? And then the fact
Speaker 1: that he has taken away their negotiating power because he
Speaker 1: says I want to go to Miami. Well, if I'm
Speaker 1: Miami and he wants to go here and he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to play anyplace else, that takes away a little
Speaker 1: bit of the bargaining power of the Portland trade with
Speaker 1: a great player in Dame Willard. But I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: that they parted ways. I'll go back to an interview
Speaker 1: that I did, what was that six weeks ago with
Speaker 1: a Blazers shut him down and the season wasn't over,
Speaker 1: and he really sounded I don't know if upset is
Speaker 1: a fair way to characterize it, but he sounded kind
Speaker 1: of disappointed, sad, and you know, it's one of those
Speaker 1: things you pick up on these just like with Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: When Russell Wilson came on after the Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: I could just tell with his tone that there was
Speaker 1: something else there, and then I kept going back, and
Speaker 1: then we realized that there was something there, and then
Speaker 1: that's when it blew up. And then that's when we
Speaker 1: realized that Russ wanted out of Seattle, and Seattle probably.
Speaker 2: Wanted Russ out of Seattle as well.
Speaker 1: Now it wasn't that acrimonious with Dame and Portland, but
Speaker 1: Portland has to run a franchise. They have to run
Speaker 1: a business, and when you start to play favorites, that's
Speaker 1: where you get in trouble or we can't let that
Speaker 1: guy go, Well, yeah you can. You know, just about
Speaker 1: every great player in that history of the sport has
Speaker 1: been traded. Some of the biggest names in the history
Speaker 1: of the sport traded. Now Jordan didn't, or Bird didn't,
Speaker 1: or Magic didn't, but you know Wilt did, Kareem did,
Speaker 1: Lebron Well, you know he was trading himself by going
Speaker 1: to franchises. But you know, this is what happens. And
Speaker 1: I think with Dame, Okay, are we going to take
Speaker 1: a hit here? You already have because you're not playing
Speaker 1: playoff basketball. Build a roster here. That's the best way
Speaker 1: you can say to your fan base. If you have
Speaker 1: the people in the front office capable of doing that
Speaker 1: that hey, yes you're not going to see Dame, we're
Speaker 1: not going to be relevant, but we're building something here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pulling that doesn't And again I don't know this,
Speaker 3: It doesn't a trade with Portland and Miami need a
Speaker 3: third team because I don't know if does Miami have
Speaker 3: the assets to give back.
Speaker 8: They don't want to give up their whole roster.
Speaker 3: They don't want to give up you know, draft pick
Speaker 3: don't matter because but like, do they have a star
Speaker 3: to hand back to Portland?
Speaker 2: Well, the name that's mentioned is Tyler Hero.
Speaker 8: Is that enough?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no, you have to have more.
Speaker 1: A third team probably, but yeah, and it feels like
Speaker 1: that's that's the way teams are going about this now
Speaker 1: that you have to have three teams involved in a trade,
Speaker 1: not just too. But you know, if I'm Portland, I
Speaker 1: gets Tyler Hero, No, that's not enough, I get if
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm trading him there, what are we getting
Speaker 1: in return? Where I can say to my fan base, hey,
Speaker 1: we got some building blocks here. You're not going to
Speaker 1: get Bam out of myyo and you're not get Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1: So it might be Tyler hero Duncan Robinson and a
Speaker 1: pat Riley autograph. Our two on the way. What is
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve doing
