I mean he was a beautiful specimen 15 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: um and he did win you an awful lot of money? Yes? 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: How was he? Uh? Spectacular? How do you like? How 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: you like it? By the way, I try to tell 18 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: people all the time, get your butt to Lexington because 19 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: it's way better than you think. And oh my god, 20 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: Lexington is the best. One of my favorite places I've 21 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: ever been to. I love it here. I may not 22 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: come back because you can drink so cheap here um, 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: and that's one of my highest costs in life. So um, 24 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: I may. I may just wind up becoming Alexington native. 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: And Paul, don't worry, I'll find a spot for you. Oh, 26 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: that's not a problem. What I love about Lexington there's 27 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: either sports or horse racing on every single restaurant in Lexington, 28 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: so um, there's something to gamble on whatever. And I'm 29 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: sure good fellows right now, although there's no horse racing 30 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: on now has got something on and the races will 31 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: be up watching Twins Royals right now. There you go, well, Paul, 32 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: speaking of Lexington. Obviously, this past Sunday was a little 33 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: bit of a disappointment for the natives here as the 34 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Wildcats lost to Auburn and the Elite Eight. But we 35 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: have the Final Four coming up around the corner on Saturday, 36 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: and everybody around the country, the millions and billions of 37 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: listeners to this show, want to know what does Paul 38 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: la Duca like in the final four. Let's start with 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: Virginia and Auburn. Virginia five points favorite total set at 40 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: one thirty eight in that game? What do we like? Paulli? Wow, 41 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: I still can't get over. I don't know if I'm 42 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: ever going to get overbidding Perdue on the money line 43 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: and having perdue second half and the whole nine yards. 44 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: But was this meant for Virginia, all the agony they've 45 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: had in the town as, Now they get to the 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: final four? Um, and do they get the job done 47 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: against an Auburn team that's just on a role, they 48 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: lose their best player, they still win. I I am 49 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: so torn in this game, black Check. I have my 50 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: heart wants to go with Auburn. My brain says Virginia 51 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: probably locks him up. Um, you know what, I do 52 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: like the numbers pretty high, considering it's close to the 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: Michigan State game, which I thought would be Michigan State 54 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: in Texas, tex So. I really have no opinion if 55 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: probably would take the points just because I'm rooting for Auburn, 56 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: because I really don't love either side. All right, Well, 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, PAULI, I'm going on the other 58 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: side here. I'm laying the five with Virginia. I think 59 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: this game sets up really nicely for Virginia. Auburn is 60 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: a team that likes to push pace. They're one of 61 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: the faster teams in the country, but they are solely 62 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: depended on shooting. You mentioned the injury to their best player, 63 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: and now they're even more dependent on the outside shot. 64 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: And that's what Virginia does better than anybody in the country, 65 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: is they defend so well that they will suffocate the 66 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: life out of you. And people overlook the fact that 67 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: Virginia is a top of UH offense in the country 68 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to efficiency that we score okay last week, 69 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: I think this game sets up really nicely for Virginia. 70 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: I think this whole Final four sets up nicely for Virginia. 71 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: I'll lay the five with Cavaliers. We said it last 72 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: week where the difference between Virginia and North Carolina was 73 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: what I said it. I said, tread lightly with North 74 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: Carolina because they do not defend the three Virginia does, 75 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: I get. I get where you're going there. I get 76 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: where you're going there. The thing about Auburn, it's there's 77 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: such a jackal and high team. They were the whole 78 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: year all but they've been just unbelievable. But are they 79 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: due for that that twenty or thirty point to go out. 80 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it does happen, But um, Bruce Pearl has got 81 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: those kids playing, and one thing I will give Auburn. 82 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: He goes seven eight, nine deep, so he's running bodies 83 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: at you. But this is going to be a Yeah, 84 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good game. But but I still 85 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: think that everything sets up nicely for the Cavaliers here. Um. Also, 86 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of an emotional bounce back, 87 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: Like you know, you have the injury to your star player, 88 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: you come out, you rally around him. They bring him 89 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: out in the wheelchair in the second half, which, honestly, 90 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was kind of an underhanded move. 91 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: For being honest, Okay, there's no way they could lose 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: that game bringing a kid out in a wheelchair on 93 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: the sidelines. So I think that maybe now though that 94 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you've had a few days, everything sinks in. I think 95 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: maybe now there's a little bit of a regression emotionally, Yeah, 96 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: there could be a little bit of a aggression. Um. 97 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: And then Virginia with playing on such a high to 98 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: escape winning the Purdue game, I mean, got a one 99 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: percent chance of covering that game. When he missed the 100 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: free throw. Um, what a game that was. So, you know, 101 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: so did Virginia. You know, every national champion, it seems 102 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: like they've always had like a tiny little luck or 103 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: a little hiccup. We're and they've gotten away with it. 104 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: Duke almost got away with it three times. I love 105 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: the people that are saying, uh, imagine having Lebron James 106 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: and not making it to the final four. They almost 107 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: didn't make it to the Sweet six. Team, let's let's 108 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: go there. Okay, so um uh so let's give some 109 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: other teams credit. But yeah, I don't know what to 110 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: do the game. The total I thought was a little high. Um, 111 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: but if Auburn hits their shots, yes, I thought it was. 112 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: To be honest with But here's the thing is, like 113 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: everybody thinks if Auburn hits their shot, Virginia will score. 114 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: In Auburn Hubburn does not play great defense. They really don't. 115 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: So I think they actually might score some point in 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: that game, where the other game I think is just 117 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: going to be a slugfest. Yeah, I I kind of 118 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: agree with you about the other game. And let's get 119 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: to that. At this point, Michigan State at two and 120 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: a half point favorite over Texas Tech. We've got a total. 121 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: They're of a hundred and thirty two and a half. 122 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I love the under. In this game, you're dealing with 123 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: two defenses that are top ten and two of the 124 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: slowest offenses in the country. Two teams that like to 125 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: play in the half court. They don't like to run. 126 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: That generally means longer possessions, fewer shots, are less points. 127 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: What do you think about Michigan State in Texas Tech. 128 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. I really could not 129 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: agree with you more. M Beard has done just an 130 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: unreal job with this Texas Tech program. I've never seen 131 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: a team dominate a tournament like they've dominated. UM. Defensively, 132 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: they get their hands on every single loose ball. UM, 133 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: They're so active defensively. But I think the equalizer is 134 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: gonna be Cassius Winston. I really do. He has played 135 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: so well, so under control black jack. He had one 136 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: turnover in last game. He's gonna be key. Obviously, he 137 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: keeps possession, he keeps Michigan State from turning the ball over. UM. 138 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: I'll go the with the experience of Tom is Oh. 139 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: You look at all the four coaches that are there, 140 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: Tomzo has been there, and I think that could be very, 141 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: very key. But I'm with you. This is what Izo wants. 142 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: Iso doesn't want a game, he wants a fifty four game. 143 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: This is right, Michigan States Bruiser, Ali Ali, and this 144 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: game is going to be a barnburner. It really is, 145 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be I think this is the first 146 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: six I would leave Texas. Text myself, I love the job. 147 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: Chris Beard is downe there you talking about tom the 148 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: all time great, but Chris Beard is an incredible, unreal 149 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: job in there, and that team outside of Virginia is 150 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: as good as any in the country defensively, I would 151 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: leave that way, but I think the Federals wander. Yeah, 152 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you. And here's the other thing, Like, you 153 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: gotta give Chris Beards so much credit because here's the deal. 154 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: They're number one and adjusted defense. And like when you're 155 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: a coach at any level, every kid comes up and goes, 156 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: I want to hit, I want to shoot, bask No 157 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: one wants to play defense. So when you get your kids, 158 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: it's it's not sexy. So when you can get your 159 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: kids to buy into the defense, and now they've bought 160 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: in and like, listen, it's scary to bet against Texas 161 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: Tech right now. It really is the way they're playing. 162 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: So you got to give this guy all kinds of 163 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: credit because all the final four PAULI. Obviously, baseball season 164 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: has started up in the last week. We've got some 165 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: storylines that are kind of interesting. I want to get 166 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: your take on, first and foremost, what do you think 167 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: about the Philadelphia Phillies in the way they've started. I mean, 168 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: they've gotten off to it's hot to start as anyone 169 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: could have imagined. Bryce Harper goes back to d C, 170 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: has in himself a hell of a night. It's a 171 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: home run, engages with the crowd to bat, flip the 172 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: whole thing. Tell me what you think about the Phillies 173 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: start better than I than I expected. Maybe not better 174 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: than I expected. But you know, I had wrote an 175 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: article and I was completely wrong. When I had gotten 176 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: traded um to the Dodgers, from the Daughters to the Marlins, 177 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: I had to come back to to l A and 178 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: you have so many things in your mind. Now this 179 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: is completely different. You know, I got traded, he chose 180 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: to leave, but when I came back, I was all 181 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: out of sorts. I didn't know what to do. I 182 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, cameras were in my face. Do I go 183 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: over and say hi to my other teammates? Um? Are 184 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: they gonna come over and say hi to me? The 185 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: guys I got traded for. It was just a weird situation. 186 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: So when Bryce came back, his first two at bats, 187 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: boom boom. He strikes out against Scherzer. But they were 188 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: able to put up right. I mean, that was so 189 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: key for the Phillies to go in for Series of 190 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: the Year and Spanky. They spanked them around, they really did. 191 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: And then when Sharzer got out of the game, the 192 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: games out of reach, Bryce hits the home run. All 193 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: the relief goes away. Believe me, when you go back 194 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: to your old ballpark, your old team, you're nervousness can be. 195 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: When he hit that home run, it was Katie by 196 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: the door. All the relief is gone. Then you got 197 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: a couple of hits. He had a couple of hits yesterday. Um, 198 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: and they got a real deal lineup. If McCutcheon keeps 199 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: playing like this, he's playing well. Riamalto gives you a 200 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: good at bat. Hoskins gives you a very very good 201 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: at bat, Bryce Harper gives you a good at bat, 202 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Sir gurg gives you a good at bat. Now. Aaron 203 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: Nola got hit around a little bit yesterday. He'll right 204 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: the ship. He's very very good. But offensively, they are 205 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: going to put up some tremendous numbers if they stay healthy. 206 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: Looks like they will now. The flip side of that 207 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: coin the a l East, where we expected maybe two 208 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: teams to win a hundred games a piece. The Yankees 209 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: and Red Sox both kind of look like a mess 210 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: right now. And granted we're only a weekend, but what 211 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: do you make of what's going on with the Yankees? 212 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're a walking mash year and at this 213 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: point with all the injuries they have, and the Red 214 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: Sox are just struggling all over the field. So what 215 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: do you think the future holds for the two of 216 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: those things? Well, the Red Sox, Uh, I'm a little 217 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: bit more worried about the Yankees than I am the 218 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox. The Red Sox, I can't say that either. 219 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Christale only striking out one guy in his 220 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: velocity down worries me a little bit. I'm surprised that 221 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: Boston gave the extension. Um, obviously there's no structural Yeah, 222 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: but obviously there's no structural damage in their blackjack. But 223 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: Christale doesn't strike out one guy. I'm sorry. Nathan of 224 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Aaldi got hit around again last night. Um, their bats 225 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: finally woke up. That that's going to be the key. 226 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Um, their bats need to wake up. But 227 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: they didn't do much in the off season, did Boston? 228 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: Now the Yankees, Um, they're turning in the Mets. They 229 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: have more injuries. They're like the Mets the last two 230 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: years with all these injuries and now, uh, I mean 231 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: wishful thinking. Troy to Lewinsky got a mosquito bite and 232 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: boom he got hurt again. So uh, I mean honestly, 233 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: when they signed him, do they think they're going to 234 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: get more than four or five games out of him? Right? 235 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: So now you you mentioned just then the Mets tell 236 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: me to do what they're starting often put hot stuff himself. 237 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: What do you think can they sustained this? Well? Listen, 238 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: they went eleven and one to start the season last 239 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: year and everybody was excited, but it was a different 240 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: fools goal. When you have a kid like Peter Alonso 241 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: swinging the boat, the Way is a Rookie of the 242 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: Year candidate, UM with some kind of power. The ball 243 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: he hit the dead center the other night was a 244 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: bomb um. And then you put canoe, you put some 245 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: guys in the lineup. They can give you professional and bats. 246 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: They finally got to catch Or that knows what the 247 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: heck he's doing. And Wilson Ramos, so you can they've 248 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: had since. Well, I appreciate that. I appreciate what you Listen, 249 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: you need a guy who can handle the staff. I 250 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: mean like you've got guys like Mazzaraco talking ow he 251 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: handled Jason de Gram. Listen to me. My daughter could 252 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: catch Jacob Degraham and he wouldn't give up any runs, right, 253 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: So like, just go back there and hit and do 254 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: what you can. So Ralmos I think pieces together the 255 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: other guys because he's a veteran. And here's the other part. 256 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: He's been around the l e UM, the nl E 257 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: so he knows a lot of the hitters and and 258 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: that too. That's a big advantage. And people don't understand 259 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: those kind of things. But if they can stick together 260 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: and and in Callaway can stay out of his own 261 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: way because he's a little questionable. Some of the moves 262 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: that he makes, they can get in the hunt for 263 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: a little while. All Right, now, there's one more surprising 264 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: team that I have to get your take on. I 265 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: know our producer, Matt Ford, the Chuckler, is going to 266 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: really want to hear your opinion on this, and that's 267 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles. Wow, the team is off to a 268 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: surprising start, a team that I think most people expected 269 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: to be the worst in baseball. What are you seeing 270 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: out of Baltimore? I don't know. They're scoring runs and 271 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: it's even better that they they were. They scored three 272 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: runs in the ninth, but it's even better that they 273 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: beat the Yankees. And I know that he's he loves 274 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,239 Speaker 1: it even more. They were back to back? Were they underdogs? 275 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: Three to one? Back to back and they beat the 276 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Yankees something like that? Yeah, I mean pretty close. Yeah, 277 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: they were very very heavy dogs. Continue. Oh and then 278 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: here's the thing, is like Vegas is going to keep 279 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: on doubling down. Um, let's see today they're at home 280 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: in their plus one ninety four and they're playing the 281 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Yankees again, Like, what do you do? Do you roll 282 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: with them again? I mean think? Uh, they're under and 283 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: over for wins was fifty seven. How do they have 284 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: already four? You got five four more left to go, 285 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: and it's a pretty good start. It's a great start. 286 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: It's surprising. But again, you know, with everything we're talking 287 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: about here, I want to cast you everyone. It's it's 288 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: week one, very very long day. And again with Boston, 289 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: they haven't even gotten their rings yet. How about that? 290 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: Like I, that's the other part. Going on a West 291 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Coast swing, it sucks. It's just it's it's hard to do. 292 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: And they went on and they're going on and basically 293 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: nationally West Coast Swing and then they'll go on in 294 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: americanly West Coast Swing. So they had to do it 295 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: right out of spring training. So they haven't even gotten 296 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: their rings yet. They don't get their rings till the 297 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: ninth of April. So you know, I would chill on 298 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Boston and listen. I know a lot of people say 299 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: I always hate on the Inkees. I would. The Yankees 300 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: are in trouble, Geane Carlos Stanton. I know he's hurt, 301 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: but he couldn't hit me, all right, Pali. So I 302 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that the time to show that I'm out here 303 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: in Lexington, I'm actually heading to Keenland right now. You 304 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: mentioned in Santa Anita Derby. Give us a couple of 305 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: picks of this weekend in these big races. Well, obviously, uh, 306 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: I like game winner, um for badfort Um. There's not 307 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: a many that many horses. Uh in the Sanity and 308 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Derby only six horse felt a lot of people, Yeah, 309 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people are are you know, saying stay 310 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: away from Santa Nita. But the problem is there's a 311 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: lot in the wood and there's a lot in the 312 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: blue grass. But um, yeah, the last time a horse 313 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: won the Kentucky Derby from the wood was Fusa Hi 314 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: pigas this from people need to chill on that. There's 315 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: been like seventeen horses from California that have won the Derby. 316 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: So I don't care. Like in the blue Grass on Saturday, 317 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I'll tell you what I'm looking at. 318 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a long shot. Is Sir Winston. 319 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Sir Winston ran a very nice races last time out, 320 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: showed great closing speed. I think maybe in a race 321 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: like this he might have a shot in a bigger, 322 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: bigger fields. I actually do like yeah, um, actually do 323 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: like big fields. Closers and big fields. But what post. 324 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to looks see what post my horse drew. 325 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: I like the Coma, but he's nine in the five, 326 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: the weaver horse. Um, I can see where you're going, 327 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: Sir Winston that if you're looking for more chalk, I 328 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: would say, maybe win win Win is someone to take 329 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: a look at.

And when you get called up 359 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: for a couple of days and you're in the minor leagues, 360 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: your pay goes up, so you're automatically soon as you 361 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: get sent down, you get to three days to like relax. 362 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: You don't have to meet the team that are other 363 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: and so it was like three two days and I 364 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: remember in those two days I pinched ran for Paul 365 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: Knirko me pinch running, yeah, catcher that that those are 366 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: That's what I did in those two days. But we're winning, 367 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: like uh, I want to say, was a a Saturday 368 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: night game or Friday night game one or the other. UM, 369 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: And we're winning like nine one in the seventh inning 370 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: and it's like just torrential downpour UM, and it's coming 371 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: down like like monsoon Texas style. UM in Arlington, m M. 372 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: And it looks like like, you know, they're just gonna 373 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: call the game. We're up seven one, and it was 374 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: already through the seventh inning, UM or nine month excuse me, 375 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: and we're already through the seventh thinning. And so you 376 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: get updates and the clubhouse guys come in here and there. 377 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: When the clubhouse guys come in and they say listen, UM, 378 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna make a decision. And about half hour, but 379 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: the last time I heard there, you know, basically you're 380 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: just gonna call the game whatever. So UM, in Arlington, 381 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: there's a strip club about to about a mile and 382 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: a half, maybe less than a mile away from the ballpark. Well, 383 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: it was poorn rain so much that half the stadium 384 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: left there was anything. They're down nine one. So a 385 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: bunch of the boys from the bullpen got some money 386 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: together and we're having a couple of pops because they 387 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: got the game was basically over.

Okay, okay. 392 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: So then I'm sitting there and the Carrols who's the rep, goes, Hey, 393 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: the umpire just came in and said, the game's still 394 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: not canceled yet.

They were drunk, 440 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: and I remember asking one of them, like the guy 441 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: at the at the thing, I said, you wanted to 442 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: valet park the bullpen card?
