Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Nick Saban still wants to coach. We'll hear
Speaker 1: from coach. He's trying to get into the building for
Speaker 1: that showdown. With Georgia coming up this weekend, We'll check
Speaker 1: in with Tom Verducci. Tom was there when the Braves
Speaker 1: rolled the Dodgers ten to two. They're up three games
Speaker 1: to one. The Astros stay alive. They beat the race
Speaker 1: four to three. You got big games coming up this weekend.
Speaker 1: Baseball coming up tonight Georgia, Alabama this weekend Packers and
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers eight seven seven three D P show Email
Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com twitterhead to a
Speaker 1: DP show. But I begin this hour with just the possibility,
Speaker 1: just the possibility that Lebron James understands standing Pat keeping
Speaker 1: the roster they have is not going to be good
Speaker 1: enough for the Lakers to try to repeat next year.
Speaker 1: So follow me on this. Anthony Davis is going to
Speaker 1: opt out and then he's going to come back in
Speaker 1: and probably get two hundred and forty million dollars over
Speaker 1: five years. But then you start to look at the roster.
Speaker 1: Ty Lou's taking over the Clippers, the Clippers are going
Speaker 1: to be better. I think, maybe more cohesive from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of you're going to be out of the bubble.
Speaker 1: Tylu knows the team. He's being brought in to help
Speaker 1: with chemistry, and really you start with Kawhi Leonard. The
Speaker 1: published reports about Kawhi Leonard is he's not a great
Speaker 1: teammate and was kind of on his own late for planes,
Speaker 1: you know, he was kind of on his own time frame.
Speaker 1: You couldn't take him out unless he wanted to come out.
Speaker 1: There was also games that he would set out load
Speaker 1: management here, So ty Lou's got to go in and
Speaker 1: clean up a little bit of a mess. And you
Speaker 1: got Paul George situation, what do you do with the roster?
Speaker 1: And I look at Denver. Denver is not going to
Speaker 1: get worse. They're probably going to be better. Portland, if
Speaker 1: they're healthy, they're going to be better. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen with the Rockets some of these
Speaker 1: other teams. Golden State to me is the team to
Speaker 1: beat going into next year, believe it or not. I
Speaker 1: just think if everybody's back, why would I not know?
Speaker 1: Why would I go against Golden State given their track record? There,
Speaker 1: and I think Lebron is looking at this, and that's
Speaker 1: why Lebron is looking at the following. He is setting
Speaker 1: his sights on Chris Paul. NBA executive said that wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if they tried to zero in and get
Speaker 1: Chris Paul to the Lakers. I don't know what you
Speaker 1: have to give up, but you're gonna have to give
Speaker 1: up some players. I don't know if Oklahoma City is
Speaker 1: going to give him up, but it feels like the
Speaker 1: Bucks and Knicks are interested in Chris Paul, so at
Speaker 1: least they're maybe listening to some offers. You know, La
Speaker 1: has a draft pick, a first round pick, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to give up quite a few players on
Speaker 1: the roster to be able to fit him in salary wise. There.
Speaker 1: I just don't think Lebron James is going to go
Speaker 1: you know, I'm good with this roster going into next season.
Speaker 1: I would think that Tristan Thompson might be somebody that
Speaker 1: they would look out. Believe it or not. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I think that there's possibilities of the Lakers adding somebody.
Speaker 1: The question is what do you give up to get
Speaker 1: Chris Paul? And then how else do you fill out
Speaker 1: your roster here, because you know, you got to have
Speaker 1: depth here, and they would lose significant depth if they're
Speaker 1: trading some of these players to Oklahoma City. But this
Speaker 1: is just a possibility. DeMarcus Cousins is still out there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he still has legal issues. But
Speaker 1: Lebron James is he knows that the window is now
Speaker 1: and if he can bring in a couple other players.
Speaker 1: You put Chris Paul on that roster, you make sure
Speaker 1: that he doesn't go to Milwaukee. Miami is going to
Speaker 1: be better. You know in the East. If Milwaukee got
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, they would be better. You got Doc Rivers
Speaker 1: with Philadelphia Boston, maybe they're going to get it right
Speaker 1: and figure it out. It's a lot of talent young
Speaker 1: talent there. There's a lot of different teams right now
Speaker 1: that are still poised to make that next step. And
Speaker 1: I think Lebron is he's looking at barbarians at the
Speaker 1: gate like I got it, they're coming and I got
Speaker 1: to do something here. There is no way Lebron James
Speaker 1: goes we're good right now. Ad comes back. I got Caldwell, Pope,
Speaker 1: I got Crusoe. Playoff Rondo, Kyle Kuzma, that ain't happening.
Speaker 1: Quinn Cook. They thought so much of Quinn Cook. The
Speaker 1: bus left the arena after they won the championship and
Speaker 1: left him there. They were like, hey, we forgot Quinn Cook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: keep going. They had to circle back and go get him.
Speaker 1: There is no way Lebron is gonna go I'm good
Speaker 1: and I don't know what moves can be made. But
Speaker 1: also factor this in his agency, Clutch agency, Who do
Speaker 1: they represent? That's always what I keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: How friendly can we make this work for both? Because
Speaker 1: a great deal for the Lakers is a great deal
Speaker 1: for Lebron James. This is about Lebron going in for
Speaker 1: the kill again. Hey I got my title. That's not
Speaker 1: good enough. He knows that he gets one more title,
Speaker 1: two more titles. Then he knows, hey, I got a
Speaker 1: legitimate stamp on being the greatest player of all time,
Speaker 1: whether you want to give it to him or not.
Speaker 1: He won't have to say I want my damn respect.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why he's looking at his good
Speaker 1: buddy Chris Paul. And if you bring into Marcus Cousins
Speaker 1: or Tristan Thompson, and you know ship off some of
Speaker 1: these players. They can somehow make it work with the
Speaker 1: salary cap. This is what Lebron James is. That's what
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. When that game ended, Lebron James was
Speaker 1: already thinking about next year. This is how when Nick
Speaker 1: Saban or Dabbo Sweeney wins the titles. Soon the games ends,
Speaker 1: they get on the phone and start talking to recruits. Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to be part of this. That's what I
Speaker 1: would be shocked if Lebron is not doing that right
Speaker 1: now and it's only seven o'clock in the morning where
Speaker 1: he is. But I'm guessing, and you gotta order off
Speaker 1: season here that turnaround probably not having basketball till February.
Speaker 1: But make no mistake about it. And I was told
Speaker 1: this yesterday afternoon. Somebody who works for a team in
Speaker 1: the East said, Hey, you know, we worry about getting
Speaker 1: our team back to where it should be, but we
Speaker 1: are really worried that Lebron is going to go after
Speaker 1: some players and he's going to build up that roster
Speaker 1: to be even more formidable here. But keep in mind
Speaker 1: what's going on here these teams in the West. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Houston's any better. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they trade James Harden. I don't know if they trade
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook. But I do think that Denver will be better,
Speaker 1: Portland will be better, Golden State definitely will be better.
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming that the Clippers, without being in the
Speaker 1: bubble and ty Lou coming in that they should be
Speaker 1: as good, if not better. Yeah, Paul, Golden State feels
Speaker 1: like like a soccer team that gets relegated then comes back.
Speaker 1: They went from fifty seven wins to fifteen. They were
Speaker 1: completely off the sports map this year, completely, and it's
Speaker 1: like a gap year. You almost forget that they're instantly
Speaker 1: relevant when everyone's healthy next year. But I think that's
Speaker 1: what people are forgetting about, because when I said, hey,
Speaker 1: Golden States the team to beat, you looked at me like, really,
Speaker 1: it's because they're out of your mind? Yes, But then
Speaker 1: you start to think, I still have that core. I'm
Speaker 1: good I got the second pick overall in the draft,
Speaker 1: like Golden State will be, I think the team to
Speaker 1: beat unless Lebron if he asks if he adds Chris
Speaker 1: Paul and or JaMarcus Cousins Tristan Thompson, then the Lakers
Speaker 1: will be the team to beat. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what Vegas has. They probably have the Lakers and then
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I don't know where Golden State is there,
Speaker 1: but I would look at Golden State, Steph coming back,
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson coming back, Draymond Green, McLevin, you're Draymond Green. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know why. I just feel like
Speaker 1: he's still a good player. I think, well, in that system.
Speaker 1: If he played in Orlando, nobody would talk about him.
Speaker 1: They would, but in that system, he knows how to play.
Speaker 1: Like Dennis Rodman was so valuable because he filled a
Speaker 1: role on great teams. Draymond Green fills a role on
Speaker 1: that team. Individually, I don't think he's a great player
Speaker 1: on that team. With what he does, he can be
Speaker 1: a great player. What about you know, like, how would
Speaker 1: they cover a Luca Like? I feel like there's there's
Speaker 1: just some problems with that team right now. There's just
Speaker 1: well everybody has a problem covering Luca. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the clip Paul George basically cried, whatever you got match
Speaker 1: up with Luca Dolgic. But it just feels like the
Speaker 1: league is passing by. I don't know why, I probably,
Speaker 1: but who's still guarding Steph who's still guarding Clay? Are
Speaker 1: those guys legs gonna hold up eighty two? Well, when
Speaker 1: they've been resting. They didn't do anything this year like
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. You know who Vegas loves is the nets
Speaker 1: too well? Same reason I have a doubt for the
Speaker 1: Warriors that nets like it feels guys coming off injury.
Speaker 1: You can't trust them yet. No, and the person I
Speaker 1: spoke to who works for a team in the East,
Speaker 1: had some serious concerns unless they got Mike D'Antoni. That's
Speaker 1: another thing to keep an eye on. Dan Tony is
Speaker 1: going to have opportunities. I don't know, maybe Indiana to
Speaker 1: be the head coach. But if he comes in and
Speaker 1: helps Steve Nash and you have a coach with head
Speaker 1: coaching experience in a style that I'm sure Kyrie and
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant would love, and those other players on the Nets,
Speaker 1: then maybe you get something that's really interesting there. But
Speaker 1: I got nervous when Kyrie said, hey, we all get
Speaker 1: to coach. You know, we don't have a head coach here.
Speaker 1: If it's like when you say, hey, we got two
Speaker 1: really good quarterbacks on our roster, that means you don't
Speaker 1: have one really great quarterback on your roster. Hey, we
Speaker 1: got two guys who can play. You got one that's great.
Speaker 1: Hey we got all these head coaches. No, you need
Speaker 1: a head coach here, kay? You do? But yes, mclub.
Speaker 1: Does it really take to get over an ACL like
Speaker 1: Clay was an a c l A Is he going
Speaker 1: to be Clay Thompson? Doesn't it take a year? Or
Speaker 1: you've had it a million times? Not a million? I
Speaker 1: They've they finally started putting things in. When I got
Speaker 1: my replacement knee, I said, there's nothing left to take out,
Speaker 1: and they said, no, we're putting something in. We're gonna
Speaker 1: give you a new knee here. But ac L, MCL
Speaker 1: you know pretty much got it all. I didn't do PCO.
Speaker 1: But he'll be ready to go. I mean he's had
Speaker 1: a lot of time off. I mean we're talking about
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, right, He's had as much time off
Speaker 1: as Durant and Durant had an achilles. I'll take the
Speaker 1: ACL over an achilles. Yeah. By the way, do you
Speaker 1: guys notice that as you get older, injuries don't go away.
Speaker 1: You just get accustomed to having them. Like an annoying
Speaker 1: house guest. Yeah, like you break a finger or something
Speaker 1: like that, and it just stays painful and hurt, and
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, well, I'm gonna get us to
Speaker 1: that thing. But when you're younger, it doesn't register go away,
Speaker 1: it goes away, or you just you're okay with playing
Speaker 1: through it, like you just go okay, you know, I
Speaker 1: gotta hey my uh, I got tender ankle here. Hey
Speaker 1: I think I sprained my wrist here, But you still play.
Speaker 1: It's when you get older you're like, man, this really hurt.
Speaker 1: We complain more when we get older. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the when you're younger, you don't complain and complain about anything.
Speaker 1: Get older and like, oh yeah, yeah, I love. If
Speaker 1: the Warriors do want to trade number two, can they
Speaker 1: get anything like immediately impactful for that spot. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they can. I don't know who they're targeting. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if they want to take somebody with
Speaker 1: that second pick, but I don't think Minnesota wants to
Speaker 1: use that number one overall pick. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know who would covet that and say, boy, I'd like,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a young roster we want to
Speaker 1: bring in. You know, somebody, how about my seventy six
Speaker 1: ers with m beat or Simmons as an example to do?
Speaker 1: What for the number two pick? All to give up
Speaker 1: one of those guys? Yeah, I give it one of
Speaker 1: those guys, send them to Golden State. I'll hang up
Speaker 1: with list. Oh my god, if you said that they
Speaker 1: could get one of those two guys for the second
Speaker 1: pick overall, I'd do that if I want to break
Speaker 1: up the party. Maybe I don't think Doc does. No.
Speaker 1: I think Doc realizes that I have something special. Let
Speaker 1: me see it first before I go Nope, this isn't
Speaker 1: going to work. I think that's that's the difference there.
Speaker 1: Dale Earnhardt Junior announced the birth of his second daughter,
Speaker 1: Nicole Lorraine Earnhardt, and Junior just had his birthday. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so she was born two days after Dale Junior's birthday.
Speaker 1: That's great. I get a chance to text with him,
Speaker 1: just back and forth, and it's usually about fatherly things.
Speaker 1: It's not about NASCAR or anything. It's just more of
Speaker 1: just checking in because I like him for some reason.
Speaker 1: I just felt like I took him under my wings
Speaker 1: or I'm protective of him. When when he revealed so
Speaker 1: much when he would come on the show, and not
Speaker 1: that I'm a father figure to him, but I'm there
Speaker 1: for advice when it comes to broadcasting, even having girls
Speaker 1: too because I have three, so I'm great at handing
Speaker 1: out advice with daughters there. But that's great, great for Junior,
Speaker 1: so I'll send him a text there. Nick Saban's planning
Speaker 1: on coaching. I don't know what the NCAA rules are.
Speaker 1: He's lobbying to coach and he thinks that this is
Speaker 1: an unfair situation. He has tested positive. I guess he's asymptomatic,
Speaker 1: but he wants to know why he can't be in
Speaker 1: the building. The protocol is if you're in quarantine, you
Speaker 1: can't have any remote access to the sidelines and you
Speaker 1: can't go to the game, even if they put your
Speaker 1: in an actulated area. So never I haven't thought much
Speaker 1: about that, and I'm not being critical of anybody here.
Speaker 1: If you're the head coach, there ought to be a
Speaker 1: better way to do it. No exactly what that is,
Speaker 1: but there should be a better way to do that.
Speaker 1: You ought to be able to have something communication with
Speaker 1: the sidelines. It's like to have communication with somebody on
Speaker 1: the field during practice. So you can't have any of that,
Speaker 1: And that doesn't seem quite right. He's not suspended. Could
Speaker 1: I put him in a suite by himself where he
Speaker 1: could have communication to the sidelines and Steve Sarkisian and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would tell Fritzie to reach out
Speaker 1: to the NCAA, but that seems fruitless. But I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: Does the SEC have rules here? It is it conference
Speaker 1: by conference or is this I mean, this is all
Speaker 1: uncharted territory. We've never been through this before. That asymptomatic.
Speaker 1: Can he be in a suite by himself and therefore
Speaker 1: I have communications to the sidelines? Jampoint The other day
Speaker 1: it was reported that the nca rules supersede everything, at
Speaker 1: least in advance of this game. Yeah, I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: when's Greg Sanky gets ahold of it? Who knows? But
Speaker 1: that ninety minutes for the game, he cannot be on
Speaker 1: the property, He cannot be there, cannot communicate. What if
Speaker 1: you put him in a skybox by himself, he's a
Speaker 1: scorted in three four hours before kickoff, don't know, and
Speaker 1: he's escorted out. Yeah, I just think you put him
Speaker 1: in a bubble and then let him stand on the sidelines.
Speaker 1: He can walk around and he's just in a bubble
Speaker 1: put some you know that packing bubbles. Just put him
Speaker 1: in there, give him a headset. Yeah, club, you mean
Speaker 1: like one of those giant like um inflatable samurai a
Speaker 1: sumo wrestlers. Have you ever seen that? Yes, Reggie and Mississippi.
Speaker 1: Hey REDG. What's on your mind today? Hey REDG? Not
Speaker 1: much apparently, Hey REDG. By Rag Kyle in California. Hey Kyle,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey Kyle, heyde I can't believe
Speaker 1: I just heard you say you're picking the Warriors next year.
Speaker 1: I can't believe we just went through this. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I said I would have them as the favorites. The
Speaker 1: Clippers were the favorites this year, and how did that
Speaker 1: work out? So I just tell you who I think
Speaker 1: will be the favorites there. So you're saying the favorite
Speaker 1: as in automatically not going to win it as the favorite,
Speaker 1: Okay if you if you want to, yeah, let we'll
Speaker 1: do that to stay friendly with one another here, Kyle,
Speaker 1: fair enough, Okay. Anyway, So for the Lakers, so in
Speaker 1: terms of like the whole free agent market, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be really interesting. Obviously not as big
Speaker 1: of a free agent market with all the financial impact,
Speaker 1: so it's going to be interesting to see where some
Speaker 1: of these mid level guys go. I think the Lakers
Speaker 1: going to snatch up some of these guys, maybe like
Speaker 1: Danilo Gallinari, a guy like that. Sitting great. And let
Speaker 1: me ask you one thing about Tyler and the Clippers.
Speaker 1: What is Tyler moving moving one seat over going to
Speaker 1: do in terms of changing the relationship between the role
Speaker 1: players role players in those stars, that's where the animosity is, yep,
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be the biggest challenge there. Kyle,
Speaker 1: thanks for the phone call as always, And you know,
Speaker 1: can he be a disciplinarian? Does he have their respect?
Speaker 1: They gave him a five year deal and players do
Speaker 1: follow that, like how much job security do you have?
Speaker 1: How much are you making? And you got Kawai, you know,
Speaker 1: Kauai is you know, people gotta somebody has to be
Speaker 1: able to say to Kuai, you've got to come back
Speaker 1: to earth here now, you've got to be that great
Speaker 1: player and part of that is you got to be
Speaker 1: a great teammate as well. He's a great player. I
Speaker 1: just think he basically hijacked the organization here, and it
Speaker 1: put Doc in a really precarious position because the other
Speaker 1: players were looking at Doc and how Doc treated Kawai,
Speaker 1: and he treated him differently than he did his other players. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're not going to take off until Kawai gets here.
Speaker 1: Load management. Kuai's not playing. Hey, I'm gonna take out Kawai.
Speaker 1: Kwai doesn't want to come out of the game. These
Speaker 1: are all documented things, by the way, folks, and tylu
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, he didn't get enough credit
Speaker 1: with Lebron in Cleveland. I don't know, probably not going
Speaker 1: to get credit with the Clippers because it's going to
Speaker 1: be Kawai and Paul George who get the credit, and
Speaker 1: he'll probably get the blame. But I think trying to
Speaker 1: be able to stand up to Kawai and say this
Speaker 1: is what I need from you, and this is a
Speaker 1: player along with Paul George that following next season they
Speaker 1: can opt out. It's really a very delicate, tenuous situation
Speaker 1: there because there's no guarantee QUI might go and I
Speaker 1: don't want to play under this. I don't want you
Speaker 1: telling me what I can do. Kawai is the one
Speaker 1: who came to town, didn't want to go to the Lakers,
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, I want Paul George here, and
Speaker 1: they went out, they acquiesced, they got Paul George there,
Speaker 1: gave up the future, get Paul George. So and Tylu
Speaker 1: doesn't get a honeymoon period. Tylo has his much pressure
Speaker 1: on him as Frank Vogel does, if not more. So
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Tom Berducci will join us. Coming up.
Speaker 1: What do you think of Dave Roberts leaving Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: on the game in the sixth inning? And is this over?
Speaker 1: Take a break twenty after the hour. Your phone call

Speaker 1: If you don't like the Astros, would you rather see
Speaker 1: them lose in this series or go to the World
Speaker 1: Series and see them lose there, or risk they're winning
Speaker 1: at all? Want to see them lose now? Tom Verducci
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Baseball senior writer of course, working for Fox
Speaker 1: and MLB during the playoffs. He was in Arlington, Texas
Speaker 1: last night the Dodgers in the Braves Game five at
Speaker 1: ninety eastern non Fox Sports. One time, Tom kind enough
Speaker 1: to join us here. You saw Kershaw go out for
Speaker 1: the sixth inning. What did you think? Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: have a problem with Dad. He had a low pitch count.
Speaker 1: He had seemed to have things in order. The issue
Speaker 1: was when things started to unravel a little bit, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been watching Dave Roberts in these postseasons
Speaker 1: the last few years, and especially third time around the lineup.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's quick with the trigger. It's the way
Speaker 1: the Dodgers due business. So to me, the flashpoint, it
Speaker 1: wasn't kurse on Freeman, because he's handled Freeman pretty well
Speaker 1: over the career. He made he made a bad pitch
Speaker 1: to Freeman, like a really bad pitch, and the Dodgers
Speaker 1: got burned with their defense. By the way, if he
Speaker 1: noticed that was a groundball single turned in with double
Speaker 1: because they had Mukie Wilson shipped it over the right center,
Speaker 1: that tells me Kershaw was supposed to get the ball
Speaker 1: away from Freeman. He didn't got burned. The flashpoint was Ozuna.
Speaker 1: Azuna actually said after the game, after that Oconia infield hit,
Speaker 1: when the throw was made, you know when it's the
Speaker 1: dugout and he went to second, Ozuna said he talked
Speaker 1: to Freeman and he said, you get on bass and
Speaker 1: then I'll get great roll. He was already assuming that
Speaker 1: Kershaw would not pitch to him a third time, so
Speaker 1: that's the flash point. Didn't have a problem with him
Speaker 1: starting the inning. You know, we can think that the
Speaker 1: Dodgers patch you woke up with a and runs in
Speaker 1: that first inning the previous game, but after the third
Speaker 1: inning of that game, those Batch didn't do anything. I
Speaker 1: think they had basically three hits, so it's not like
Speaker 1: they came along. They came alive for a moment. And
Speaker 1: then after that, you know, that previous game and then
Speaker 1: last night, the Dodger bats have been pretty silent here.
Speaker 1: It's like Seegers, the one guy, Mookie Batch hasn't done
Speaker 1: much here. So Bellinger hasn't done much. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of fingers if you're you're pointing for fingers of blame here. Tom, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a great point because yeah, I mean, we love
Speaker 1: talking about the pitching decisions or manager decisions on pitchers, right,
Speaker 1: but that's a great point. They really have not hit,
Speaker 1: and you think about the guys who have shut them down.
Speaker 1: You know, after that big outburst in Game three, it
Speaker 1: was Juasker, Noah, twenty two year old right hand. There
Speaker 1: was very little major league experience, and last night you
Speaker 1: had this kid, Bryce Wilson, who pitched an unbelievable game,
Speaker 1: had seven career starts, twenty two years old, hadn't pitched
Speaker 1: in a week and two weeks and a half. So
Speaker 1: you know, they're not seeing cy young winners shutting them down.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just they're not familiar with these guys. But
Speaker 1: a big load has to go to the Dodger offense
Speaker 1: because it was number one in baseball this year. I
Speaker 1: also wondered about this when I was looking at the
Speaker 1: NBA bubble. You saw a lot of young teams do
Speaker 1: well because you didn't have to travel to Staples and
Speaker 1: play in front of a hostile crowd. You're playing in
Speaker 1: a basically sterile environment there these younger players, and the
Speaker 1: Braves had a lot of younger players. They're there in them,
Speaker 1: They're not at Dodger Stadium. They're there in Arlington. There's
Speaker 1: no real home field disadvantage here, there's no booing. None
Speaker 1: of that. Feels like that plays right into the Braves
Speaker 1: that it's a young team, they may not know better,
Speaker 1: and they're not intimidated by any of this. I'm with you,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the pitchers. There's no question
Speaker 1: about that. Actually, last night, when the game started, of
Speaker 1: the nine people on the field for the Braves, five
Speaker 1: of them were twenty three and younger, and they're shutting down.
Speaker 1: You know, there's juggernaut of a team, because the Dodgers
Speaker 1: in the regular season were a jug or not. I'll
Speaker 1: tell because I've been in the bubble. I'm down there.
Speaker 1: It feels like a college or high school atmosphere because
Speaker 1: the families are really close to the field. Here in Arlington,
Speaker 1: there's eleven thousand people, but they're scattered around. It's really
Speaker 1: not that loud. They still have some fake crowd night
Speaker 1: noise in there, but they're all saying hello to mom
Speaker 1: and dad or the girlfriend. It really feels like an
Speaker 1: American Legion tournament. So you're right. I think it does help,
Speaker 1: especially these young pitchers. I mean, you put them in
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, fifty thousand people, you know, triple deck. That's
Speaker 1: a different atmosphere than a bubble. If this doesn't work
Speaker 1: out for the Dodgers, what happens with Dave Roberts. If anything,
Speaker 1: I don't think anything happens really, you know, again, it
Speaker 1: depends how it ends the next couple of days. If
Speaker 1: it does, I still I'm not counting them out. Then
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a really, really good team. You
Speaker 1: saw the way they broke out in the first end
Speaker 1: of the other night. I'm not saying they're going to
Speaker 1: score eleven again, but man, that the lineup is due
Speaker 1: to break out with something here at some point beyond
Speaker 1: what they did in that one inning. So I'm not
Speaker 1: ruling them out. It's gonna be difficult, though, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. Bullpen day for the Braves today, and then
Speaker 1: you've got Freed and Anderson, and I think both those
Speaker 1: two guys are legit. Freed is probably the tougher matchup
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, but both of those guys are really good.
Speaker 1: That curveball he is, you know, I hadn't seen much
Speaker 1: of him, but when I watched him, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. You know, I d you mentioned that
Speaker 1: because the way they've shut down the Dodgers here. Overall,
Speaker 1: you know, the one exception, this is not a high
Speaker 1: velocity team. We love talking about fastballs, and the Dodgers
Speaker 1: have a million guys coming out of the bullpen thrown
Speaker 1: literally one hundred miles an hour. If you lined up
Speaker 1: the sixteen playoff teams, the Braves are thirteenth in average velocity.
Speaker 1: So if you've got Freed with that curveball, he's added
Speaker 1: the slider, you've got Anderson with that killer changeup. I
Speaker 1: thought Wilson did a great job mixing up his pitches.
Speaker 1: They're not beating the Dodgers with velocity or pure stuff.
Speaker 1: They're pitching this group and you have to give them
Speaker 1: credit for being so young and this good. What advice
Speaker 1: would you give the Astros when it comes to questions
Speaker 1: about twenty seventeen, I go full on nucleolush would be
Speaker 1: as dull and boring as possible. Right, don't take debate
Speaker 1: because you know what happened in that first round with Minnesota,
Speaker 1: right Carlos Corea. They got through Minnesota, he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're back. You know, we're like the Bills. You wanted
Speaker 1: to get rid of us. You can't get rid of us.
Speaker 1: I think some guys talked to him because the next
Speaker 1: round they were like, very chill about it. I think
Speaker 1: that's the way I would hand it. Don't give anybody
Speaker 1: any more ammunition. You've done plenty of that already. And
Speaker 1: al two base had a couple of big hits. Are
Speaker 1: his throwing woes that that was only one game? There. No.
Speaker 1: I can tell you a story here before that series.
Speaker 1: The raised scouts in their hitters meeting before the series,
Speaker 1: they said, when you hit a groundball to second base,
Speaker 1: even a routine one, busted down the line, We're not
Speaker 1: sure if this guy's gonna make the play. So they
Speaker 1: saw something there with his body language, how deliberate he was,
Speaker 1: the arm, whatever it was. They put those guys on notice.
Speaker 1: So if you notice Joy and Law busted it down
Speaker 1: the line on routine balls and put pressure on him,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that goes away that quickly did. And
Speaker 1: you've been around long enough that we had Chuck Noblock
Speaker 1: and we have Steve Sachs. Mackie Sasser couldn't throw the
Speaker 1: ball back to the mound? Did you ever do? I'm
Speaker 1: sure you did. But like, talk to a psychologist or
Speaker 1: somebody who would look at this and say, what happens
Speaker 1: in the brain when Rick ang keels another one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's when athletes start to think, right, they start to
Speaker 1: think about the process, the lack of thought. You hear
Speaker 1: that from hitters all the time, right, I wasn't thinking
Speaker 1: anything to see the ball hit it. You know, It's
Speaker 1: funny the guy pitching and he pitched him relief last
Speaker 1: night for the Braves. Tyler Matzik. He had the yips
Speaker 1: as a pitcher right he was out of baseball, former
Speaker 1: number one pick out of baseball. It took him a
Speaker 1: year going to see psychologists, psychiatrists, throwing every day on
Speaker 1: his own, and it took him another year in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues, independent ball to get back. I think more
Speaker 1: guys just don't get back. It's really hard to get
Speaker 1: back from it. And it seems to affect second baseman
Speaker 1: as you mentioned there and the occasional picture. But it's
Speaker 1: an odd throw from second base. It's like an odd
Speaker 1: throw when a comebacker goes to the mound. The picture
Speaker 1: is he's guiding it. Shortstop in third, you have to
Speaker 1: unleash it. You know, it's rare when you get you know,
Speaker 1: a looper that you can throw in there. Second was
Speaker 1: always odd, and I was a former shortstop. So you
Speaker 1: get it and you fire second. Sometimes you fire, sometimes
Speaker 1: you lob it, and it feels like sometimes you're right
Speaker 1: in between. Well, I think you're on something there. When
Speaker 1: you have a little bit of extra time, that clock
Speaker 1: tells you have a little bit of time, that's when
Speaker 1: the brain starts to get in the way of the muscles. Right,
Speaker 1: if you're a shortstop in the whole third base long throw,
Speaker 1: you don't have time to think about it. Second baseman
Speaker 1: knows he has time, and I think that's that works
Speaker 1: against them. If I would have told you when the
Speaker 1: Marlins had their outbreak that they were going to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs, what would you have said away? I mean, really,
Speaker 1: I mean Don Mattingley did an incredible job with that team.
Speaker 1: I mean you think about that eighteen people out. I
Speaker 1: think it was one hundred and seventy four roster moves
Speaker 1: they went through. They had twenty guys make their major
Speaker 1: league debuts in a sixty game season. I mean it
Speaker 1: was crazy. But you know, listen, that young group found itself.
Speaker 1: Mattingly did a great job. Their young pitching is legit.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would come this quickly. But again, Dad,
Speaker 1: you made the point about nobody in the stands. I
Speaker 1: think that helped them. It was sort of a bonding
Speaker 1: experience too, to go through what they did. But bottom
Speaker 1: line was, I think Mattingly has to be the manager
Speaker 1: of the year for the job that he did with
Speaker 1: that group. Have fun to night there nine Eastern on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports one, and it'll be Braves and Dodgers again.
Speaker 1: Do you think we're gonna live to see another game?
Speaker 1: I do. I can't count out the Dodgers, you know what.
Speaker 1: I think it's a low scoring game tonight again though,
Speaker 1: because that Brave's bullpen. It's a bullpen game. Brian Snickers
Speaker 1: got a lot of good options, so you know, most cases,
Speaker 1: most teams were up against it with a bullpeny game,
Speaker 1: not the Brace. Thank you, Tom, I know you're busy.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you making some time for us. Yeah, Dan,
Speaker 1: have a good one. That's Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated senior
Speaker 1: writer working for Fox Sports and MLB. Game coming up
Speaker 1: tonight at nine eastern my Rays against the Astros. That's
Speaker 1: the yearly game. It's around five five twenty eastern. Mcclevans.
Speaker 1: That sound about Ryan. I think it's six and nine
Speaker 1: or oh it's six o'clock ye six seven and nine
Speaker 1: h seven of exact times Eastern for the first pitches. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you want to change the pull question or are
Speaker 1: you we? Okay? I think I want to ask a
Speaker 1: Nick Saban question. Okay, PAULI had adoption? Okay, would you
Speaker 1: bet a week's pay. Whether Nick Saban's going to be
Speaker 1: in the building or not in the building, Well, i'd
Speaker 1: like to know if he If he tests negative today,
Speaker 1: any test negative tomorrow, is that enough to allow him
Speaker 1: in the building. Yeah, Polly, he'll find a way to
Speaker 1: test negative if that, and he'll find the tester down there.
Speaker 1: He's got a red do it again, Yeah, get into
Speaker 1: somebody else in here? Can you get somebody else in here?
Speaker 1: I think I'm negative. Nope, as you're positive, I think
Speaker 1: you gotta look at it again. Yeah, mclub another post question,
Speaker 1: and I think you have to say this before. Will
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's absence be the reason Alabama loss? Like? Is
Speaker 1: that what everyone's going to say on Sunday morning? If
Speaker 1: Alabama loses, Well, Nick Saban wasn't there. Well, I think
Speaker 1: it'll be unfair. But you know, when has that stood
Speaker 1: in the way of a good headline here with the media.
Speaker 1: It'd be unfair to Georgia. But yeah, I do think
Speaker 1: that that will factor in. I think because you have
Speaker 1: to factor in Saban and what he means to that team,
Speaker 1: and he is the pre eminent college coach maybe in
Speaker 1: history or certainly on the shortlist there you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's hard to replace that. You can't replace that. And
Speaker 1: I think that there's moments where and you know, David
Speaker 1: Pollock of ESPN was telling us about that that in
Speaker 1: the moment, Nick is going to make changes there and
Speaker 1: there are very few coaches in any sport that make
Speaker 1: those changes in the moment, and he does that, it's
Speaker 1: on him to be able to do that. I would
Speaker 1: love for him to at least have contact with the sideline.
Speaker 1: I think that that would be that would be fair.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if the NC DOUBLEA
Speaker 1: is going to have any leadway and they shouldn't just
Speaker 1: because it's Nick Saban. But during these times, you know,
Speaker 1: these are these are rules that are implemented when we
Speaker 1: don't have a pandemic. We have a pandemic. You know,
Speaker 1: how concerned are they about cheating or bending the rules here?
Speaker 1: And that's where I think that's what Coach Saban is saying.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, this is different. During these times, it's different.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if he's got an
Speaker 1: audience that's going to listen to him or not, but
Speaker 1: I think he's going to do it best to forces
Speaker 1: what like who do you call do you call Mark Emritt?
Speaker 1: Do you have the Commissioner Greg sank you the SEC
Speaker 1: petition on your behalf to have him be able to coach? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know who you talk to. You got
Speaker 1: twenty hours to get this done. Yeah. Time we have
Speaker 1: reached out just you know, to the SEC Commissioner, Greg
Speaker 1: sank you and to the NCAA to see if they
Speaker 1: can have any information they can share about what he
Speaker 1: is and isn't allowed to do this weekend. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: Greg is really good with us, and he was always
Speaker 1: available during the offseason. I'd just be curious, is can
Speaker 1: you lobby on behalf of Nick Saban to be able
Speaker 1: to coach in this game? Or if he reaches out
Speaker 1: to you, what is your role as to the commissioner
Speaker 1: because then you have to go to the NCAA. And
Speaker 1: I don't want preferential treatment for Nick Saban, but I
Speaker 1: want to I want fair treatment for him because of
Speaker 1: what's going on right now. These are unprecedented times for
Speaker 1: players and coaches. And I think that's all that Saban
Speaker 1: is saying. If I'm asymptomatic, can i'd be put in
Speaker 1: a suite? Can I be by myself. Could I still
Speaker 1: have contact with the sidelines and Steve Sarkis, We'll take
Speaker 1: a break. Your phone calls are next year on The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us live on the
Speaker 1: Peacock app. A couple of phone calls in here. Also
Speaker 1: watched Manning. That's a Cooper Manning's son. That was last
Speaker 1: night on ESPN two at nine eastern Now. Cooper Manning
Speaker 1: is the oldest of the Manning brothers with Peyton and Eli,
Speaker 1: and he was a wide receiver and he's the best
Speaker 1: athlete of the brothers. Cooper was a really good athlete
Speaker 1: and then he had a neck issue and he was
Speaker 1: forced to retire and didn't get to complete his college
Speaker 1: football season. His son, Arch named after his father, Archie Manning,
Speaker 1: is a sophomore right now and getting a lot of
Speaker 1: national exposure. He got it as a freshman and if
Speaker 1: you start to look at what's ahead of Arch Manning,
Speaker 1: he's got offers from every major college out there. But
Speaker 1: so he's got his he's a sophomore. Now he'll have
Speaker 1: his junior and senior year. Then you go to college,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have your freshman, sophomore in junior year. So
Speaker 1: he's got six years before he would get a chance
Speaker 1: to go into the NFL. Six years of exposure because
Speaker 1: when he comes in, they're already talking about him being
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. In what twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four? Mcleven I thought we did the math? Was
Speaker 1: it twenty four twenty three? No? No, no, it's happy
Speaker 1: later than it would be six years. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Does that sound right that he'd be
Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft? Mahome slipping arch
Speaker 1: Manning available question mark. I just google twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: mock draft. Nothing came off. Okay, thank you. That's that's
Speaker 1: that's probably a good thing, Yes, Seaton, a kid is
Speaker 1: fifteen years old. He's already six three, one nine five.
Speaker 1: What plus, it's not like Jeff go far to go. Hey,
Speaker 1: I got a question about reading his own defense. Here.
Speaker 1: Let me call Peyton, you know, I called Peyton last time.
Speaker 1: Let me call Eli here, or you could ask you know,
Speaker 1: arch you could ask your grandfather, yes, Paul, well, what's
Speaker 1: the etiquette there? Who do you call Murst for our tips?
Speaker 1: If you're arch Manning, I would call Archie Manning and
Speaker 1: then Archie Manning would probably say, you know who would
Speaker 1: be really good with that? You know, I'd reach out
Speaker 1: to Eli. He was always really good at that. Actually
Speaker 1: pretty good, thank you, thank you working on my Cajun accent.
Speaker 1: It's kind of tough to have your son on national
Speaker 1: TV like that, I think as a parent, and so
Speaker 1: you've lost control there, Like now it's different. Now you're
Speaker 1: viewed different around school, You're you're different. And Cooper is
Speaker 1: not a coach, he's watching his son. And because it's
Speaker 1: arch Manning, you're on national TV and it's very rare
Speaker 1: high school football. I'm trying to think. I don't know.
Speaker 1: When Matt Barkley was in high school at Dalasal, they
Speaker 1: were on national TV a few times, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Dal Lasal was always really good. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if when's the last time a football player Julio Jones
Speaker 1: when he was in high school was at Hoover High
Speaker 1: in Alabama. I remember him being featured, but to do
Speaker 1: a game where it's basically, you know, like Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady this weekend where you're saying Arch Manning. I
Speaker 1: don't remember that. I'm trying to think, Yeah, McLevin, if
Speaker 1: his last name wasn't Manning, though, would this be happening? No, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: not for a second. Oh, I mean we might have
Speaker 1: that game on. But that's just because he's, you know,
Speaker 1: a sophomore who a lot of you know, scouts or
Speaker 1: coaches are looking at as maybe the number one high
Speaker 1: school quarterback in the country when he's a senior in
Speaker 1: high school, just based off that. Maybe, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's considered the number one, the possible number
Speaker 1: one quarterback high school quarterback because his last name is Manning.
Speaker 1: If his last name is Jones, We're probably not showcasing
Speaker 1: that game, I don't think. But you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: curious about that. Yeah, mcclub, I just googled most famous
Speaker 1: high school players are this century, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields,
Speaker 1: but we didn't showcase Trevor Lawrence Games. I don't think
Speaker 1: Fields was a bigger star. He was national. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember Justin Fields, but I don't know if they were
Speaker 1: had a standalone game and it was Trevor Lawrence on
Speaker 1: display in high school. I don't think like every high
Speaker 1: school has a capability of doing those big like don
Speaker 1: Bosco National games, Like only certain high schools are on TV, right,
Speaker 1: Like not any high school could just be on TV. Well,
Speaker 1: they have so many of those games now. On Friday night,
Speaker 1: even at the start of the pandemic, I was watching
Speaker 1: some high school football. But it was his school out
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, Saint X that went to Indiana to play
Speaker 1: a game. And you know they had some you know,
Speaker 1: college bound players. But you have a standalone game on
Speaker 1: a Thursday night at nine, like nine o'clock. I mean
Speaker 1: that's not Most of these high school games started seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of rating it did, but
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty big stuff for a sophomore in
Speaker 1: high school. Yeah, Paul, this is so different when Lebron
Speaker 1: James his games were showed when he was a senior
Speaker 1: in high school. I remember a few of them, but
Speaker 1: he didn't have like an uncle who was first ballot
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer or a couple of uncles who are
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame, or a grandfather who
Speaker 1: was a household name as a college and pro football player.
Speaker 1: That's the difference. I mean, this guy is easily consumable
Speaker 1: at age fifteen. You know his whole family history. Lebron
Speaker 1: you knew nothing about when he's seventeen. And also, you know,
Speaker 1: as a parent, you want to be able to hold
Speaker 1: on as long as you can because once you know
Speaker 1: your son or daughter become America's then you don't get
Speaker 1: him back because then this is a big deal now,
Speaker 1: and then you know who he's dating. Uh, you know
Speaker 1: how he carries himself. Everything you do off the court,
Speaker 1: people are going to try to take pictures of you.
Speaker 1: Do they get you? You know, like Lebron James Son
Speaker 1: there was a picture of him smoking pot, or at
Speaker 1: least it was reportedly it looked like a joint. You now,
Speaker 1: it's now you're under the microscope even more and you're
Speaker 1: not really able to handle this. You're not prepared for this. Now.
Speaker 1: It helps that your brothers, you know, or your uncles
Speaker 1: were in the spotlight, but not like this. Eli and
Speaker 1: Peyton weren't in the spot like this a little bit
Speaker 1: in high school, but not like this. Yeah, poet, I
Speaker 1: heard Texas offered him a scholarship. I wants him play
Speaker 1: free Safety's that's a shot there, that's a shot. Yes,
Speaker 1: But the Mannings have never shied away from publicity or camera.
Speaker 1: Me going back Peyton and you know Peyton and Eli
Speaker 1: were royalty, wouldn't Yeah, but this is a sophomore. Is
Speaker 1: more in high school, don't you think? And then Eli
Speaker 1: were like that in New Orleans growing up there were
Speaker 1: probably new known everywhere because of their dad, but not nationally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I feel like the Vandigs. Don't you learn how
Speaker 1: to be in that spotlight by being in that family
Speaker 1: a little bit? I don't know if I don't know
Speaker 1: if anything prepares you for that. You know, by proxy
Speaker 1: you're watching them, But I don't know what it's like
Speaker 1: when he goes to school. You know, our teachers asking
Speaker 1: for autographs. You know, kids are gonna want pictures. They
Speaker 1: want to say they know him. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: does he go on social media? It's a lot. And
Speaker 1: you guys, will you know get this when your kids
Speaker 1: get a little bit older and you realize that you
Speaker 1: don't have as much control, You can't hold onto him
Speaker 1: as tightly as you want to. There and you might
Speaker 1: look at this and go boy. I'd love for my
Speaker 1: child to be arch Manning. I would have trepidation there
Speaker 1: because I've seen so many athletes you think they're going
Speaker 1: to be stars, and then they don't turn out to
Speaker 1: be stars. And then here's his dad, Cooper, who didn't
Speaker 1: really have a college career because of his injury. Yes, Eton,
Speaker 1: I'll save it, Okay, Coming up next hour, he is
Speaker 1: the voice of Alabama football. Eli Gold will join us.
Speaker 1: He has a show each week. I think with coach Saban.
Speaker 1: How is Coach Saban going to petition to try to
Speaker 1: get into the stadium for this game on Saturday night?
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Eli Gold, great voice of Alabama
Speaker 1: and more phone calls as well. Dan Patrick Show
