Speaker 2: over there. Appreciate you guys. Have a great, great extended weekend.

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Number three thousand. Clayton Kershaw a member of the three

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: thousand strikeout club. It was a bit of history and

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: last night after the Dodgers coming back and scoring three

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: runs in the bottom of the ninth to help me

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: in my survivor pool and help Jason Stewart and his

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: survivor pool as well. It was a magical night at

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium because it was history and it's now Aaron

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Torres being brought into question on how often are we

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: going to see this history of three thousand strikeouts? But

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: we saw it last night with Clayton Kershaw.

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: We did.

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: It was a special moment I think makes it obviously

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: especially special and maybe this is a little bit of

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: our bias living here in Los Angeles doing it with

43
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: one team, you know, I mean third guy, I believe

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: ever to do it with one team through three thousand strikeouts,

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: and I think the arc of his career. You know,

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: obviously young, dynamic superstar into one of the best pitchers

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: in baseball. We know about the ups and downs in October,

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: and I think that even going into like last year's postseason,

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much he meant to this city

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: and that organization until of course that parade ends in

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, he's welcomed. Do you realize how long he's

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: been with the organization, You realize how much he's accomplished,

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: And then, of course maybe the greatest accomplishment individually was

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: last night.

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: I also like this about Clayton Kershaw getting strikeout three thousand,

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: and you're going to be hearing it throughout the show.

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: You're going to hear it in a second. But I

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: like it because Clayton Kershaw is a good guy. Sure,

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: And I know that seems like a general sort of

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: statement and one that seem a bit phony or maybe

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: possibly be false, because we don't really know who these

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: players are because he's been around so much, because of

63
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: what we've seen him go through, because we've seen so

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: much of his career, and you mentioned us being in

65
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: southern California, I feel like we do have a sense

66
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: of that.

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Sure, sometimes at some point.

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: You understand, all right, maybe not the greatest dude in

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: the world, but the guy wins. And we've talked about

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: that with many different athletes throughout the spectrum, but we've

71
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: also talked about other athletes, like we could talk about

72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw and for all intents and purposes, everything that

73
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: I know, everything that he's exhibited, what he's done on

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: the field, what he's done off the field, is a

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: good guy, a really really good guy, maybe in a

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: two percenters club of good guys when it comes to

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: professional athletes. That's what I also loved last night, was

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: that opportunity for Clayton Kershaw to be celebrated like that,

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: because we also honestly don't know on how many times

80
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: he will be celebrated again. I think last year's World

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: Series title would be different if they win it again,

82
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: even if he has a role in it. This year.

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: There was something different about the twenty twenty four championship.

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it was coming off COVID, maybe it was because

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: of his injury history and whatnot, But you said, just

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: the response of Clayton Kershaw at the parade and rally

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: of the response that he got from told you everything

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: you needed to know about him as a Dodger. But if,

89
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: even if he has a role in it, I think

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: there's going to be something different than it was last year.

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: But last night felt like because it was about him

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: and him only, it wasn't a Dodgers team thing that

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: the Dodgers fans got an opportunity to celebrate that. I

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: do want to bring in Manzi and Jason's here as well,

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: and I was Sam, but Monzi was at the ballpark

96
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: last night. Was it also Yamamoto Bobblehead night? Yes?

97
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: Well yes, so that's the real reason that I needed

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 4: to be there was because of how busy it was

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: going to be. But then the Clayton Kershaw landing on

100
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 4: three strikeouts away made everything extra crazy.

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: Gates opened early without them making the.

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: Announcement because of everyone was in their seats like when

103
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 4: the game started. I remember looking at the corners of

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: the reserve, like where no one sits that are always empty.

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: Every seat was pretty much filled by the start of

106
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: the game.

107
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: Because I mean, not that it was going to happen,

108
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: but imagine.

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: He got the first three strikeouts in the first setting,

110
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: and you missed it right, So.

111
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 5: Everybody was in their seats.

112
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 4: Everybody was gasping every single time he had so many

113
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: two strikes on players and then a home run, a

114
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 4: triple of this, Like there were moments where you're like,

115
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: this is it, this is it and no, but uh,

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: he got it.

117
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: Can I ask not that I'm interviewing you about last night,

118
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: but I am curious about this because he wasn't available

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: last year in the postseason, he still got the roar

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: that Aaron talked about when they were celebrating the title.

121
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: Did it feel like this is like almost not Clinton

122
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Kershaw Appreciation Night, but this could be one of the

123
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: last opportunities that they can really show their love to

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Clinton Kershaw. Did you have that sense at all?

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 5: I did, and you hit it perfectly.

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't exactly know what is going to

127
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: happen with Kershaw after this season. He does not seem

128
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: like the type to do a farewell tour. I think

129
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: he's just gonna announce it and be done. And so

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: I do think there was a little bit of yes,

131
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: we may this would might be our only time to

132
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: really tell Kershaw how much we appreciate what he has

133
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: done for eighteen years with the Dodgers.

134
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: And if I can jump in, we're all watching MATSI

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: were there. It felt like the hug from Dave Roberts

136
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: was like a little extra longs. Yes, some of the

137
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: individual players, So I, you know, me not being the

138
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: baseball guy that you guys all are, I don't think

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I had that full thought process. But now thinking back

140
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: on the night, it's like, oh, maybe that was kind

141
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: of the unofficial goodbye to the eventual goodbye.

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.

143
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because even if they win it next year, like

144
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: there there's and I think like last year there may

145
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: have been a bit of like an absence if he's

146
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: available for them. If he's available for them down the stretch,

147
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: it'll be great, but it'll still be about the back

148
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: to back and it won't necessarily be about him, where

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: last night was an opportunity for it to be all

150
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: about him and then he could make whatever decision that

151
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: he wants, which is again, he missed the start of

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: this season, right, so it takes him a while to

153
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: get into to action. And you'd have to think that

154
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: the three thousand strikeout goal is a reason on why

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: you want to come back and pitch again in addition

156
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: to getting a ring, in an addition to throwing in

157
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: the postseason and getting that. But you know, how many

158
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: more boxes do you need to check off the list

159
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: if you're Clayton Kershaw? There were very, very few. And

160
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I think last night was a big one. Yeah it was, Yeah,

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: it was. I just I'm not and I'll just say this.

162
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: I think for all of us watching we talk about

163
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: the Clayton Kershaw aspect of it, and what a what

164
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: an opportunity it was in final time to say goodbye.

165
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: I feel that this narrative of this is the only

166
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: time we're gonna see it for a long long time

167
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: is a bit misguided. And you want to know why.

168
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: And if you don't want to know, I don't worry.

169
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna tell you anyway why.

170
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: I want to know why.

171
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: Person, Yeah, Jason, are you interested in this?

172
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: I love it.

173
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 6: I'm hanging on every word.

174
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: This is, this is why because it's only happened twenty times,

175
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: and so like the thought of like we're not gonna

176
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: we're not gonna see it very often, we don't see

177
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: it often, even when there is a string of guys

178
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: that we think can do it like this is this

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: is the twentieth time it's happened in baseball history, and

180
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: there's a majority of the guys in the last forty

181
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: so years I'd maybe say fifty years or so, guys

182
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: who started in the late fifties and the nineteen sixties

183
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: that pitched into the seventies and eighties. That's where you

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: get a majority of these twenty strikeout guys. In fact,

185
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: only one pitcher had three thousand strikeouts that started his

186
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: career didn't pitch like prior to or pitched prior to

187
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty nine, and that was Walter Johnson. So you

188
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: have this era where you have like Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan,

189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 2: Steve Carlton pitched into the early eighties. You have Tom

190
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: sever some of those older arms. But then about half

191
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: the list is made up of names that we all

192
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: know and recognize, including Clayton Kershaw, Max Schurzer, Justin Verlander.

193
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: So my whole thing is, I understand that the pitching,

194
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: the starting pitching role is different than it has been

195
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: in the past, but it's not like this was an

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: easily accessible mark at some point, like only twenty guys

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: have gotten it. So to think that there won't be

198
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: a Unicorn or someone like a Trek Scouoble or whoever.

199
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens is the name that's thrown around the most

200
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: because he's so young and could possibly do it. Just

201
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: I kind of want to pump the brakes on that

202
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: because I feel it diminished, which is the fact that

203
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: there are only twenty guys that have done this, that

204
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: have had this accomplishment. It's not like there were eighty

205
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: seven guys and now nobody has done it for thirty years.

206
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: Like we've had guys recently do this, and they've been

207
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: able to do it a bit more frequently than say

208
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: they did, you know, sixty seventy years ago, but it's

209
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: still only twenty guys in Major League Baseball, and I

210
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: feel like there's a little bit almost of like the

211
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: record of that we'll ever see this again. Well yeah,

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: well we actually have only seen it nineteen other times

213
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: aside from last night. So that's kind of my takeaway

214
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: of it is it's more of like it's a rare

215
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: feat that we are kind of trying to normalize to

216
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: reflect the state of current baseball, and I just don't

217
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: necessarily think that that matches.

218
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Up, So that was gonna be my follow up is

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: you think if it doesn't happen, it's not because the

220
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: role of a starting pitcher or the demands of a

221
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: starting pitcher has changed as much as just it doesn't

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: happen pretty much anytime.

223
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 3: Ever.

224
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: Anyway, I think that I think it also goes and waves.

225
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that we're gonna end up getting to

226
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: baseball twenty five years and now from now where you

227
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: just have guys pitch one inning and leave. Like I

228
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: think like we're in a certain spot right now. Sure

229
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: we're seeing arm injuries, but things change, and I think

230
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: at some point things could be different, or you can

231
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: get that uniform, that unicorn that leads may the Majors

232
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: and leads the AL or NL and strikeouts year after

233
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: year after year. And that's the one thing that I'm

234
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: waiting to see. Who knows who's going to pitch into

235
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: their late thirties and early forties. If Clayton Kershaw is

236
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: doing it, and Max Scherzer is doing it, and Justin

237
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: Verlander's doing it, who's to say some of these other

238
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: guys can't necessarily do it and also reach that mark

239
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: at some point. I think it's just easy to say

240
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: now when you look at the list and say, well,

241
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: this is pitching, this is how pitching's gone, this is

242
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: how pitching's going. Well, maybe maybe that's the case. You

243
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: have information now, but if you actually look over the past,

244
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: it's a difficult feat to to accomplish, and the pitching

245
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: waves that you've seen, I think it's it's been more

246
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 2: up and down than in the past.

247
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Now it makes perfect sense, It makes perfect sense, and

248
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: it was a cool moment, a rare moment.

249
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

250
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: I guess I do lean towards it's probably not likely

251
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: to happen, and I coming into the show lean more

252
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: towards it's probably not gonna happen because of again the

253
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: changes of the expectations of a starting pitcher. But I

254
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: think you've made me kind of reconsider it from that

255
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: perspective as well as it's probably not gonna happen again

256
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: anytime soon, simply because it's just a really hard thing

257
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: to do.

258
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: Manzi.

259
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you're being logical here, and it makes sense,

260
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: but I do think it's more of the Yeah, it

261
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: was rare, as it was. I do think we may

262
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: not see it again because of the way pitching has

263
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: gone lately, Like you have to expect Paul Skeins to

264
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: not get injured and miss you know, and then if

265
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: he does get injured, to come back and be as

266
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: successful as he was. There's like a lot of factors,

267
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: but I think the big factor is how we are

268
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: utilizing starting pitchers right now.

269
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 3: And that's, of course, assuming that he pitches.

270
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: Like years exactly.

271
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so interesting.

272
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart, you're a baseball officionado, do you think we'll

273
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: see three thousand? And I'm using the air quotes anytime soon.

274
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 6: I think I was doing the math last night. Right,

275
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 6: if Chris Sale gets healthy and stays healthy, he's got

276
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 6: a shot, he gets a ton of strikeouts and a

277
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 6: short amount of time, he might be the last one.

278
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 6: But I hope he doesn't. I want Kershaw to be

279
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 6: kind of the pitcher that closes the door on this.

280
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: And I was looking at this last night. So my

281
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 6: entire lifetime, there have been two benchmarks that guaranteed you

282
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame induction, three hundred wins and three

283
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 6: thousand strikeouts. Right, there are fewer pitchers with three thousand

284
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 6: strikeouts than three hundred wins.

285
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: I didn't. That's great.

286
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 6: I didn't know, so that kind of speaks to this accomplishment.

287
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 6: And to Dan's point, it's it's just it's so rare. Anyways,

288
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 6: it will probably be the last one. And I was

289
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 6: talking to Ryan Bersching. Are we all know Ryan? She

290
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 6: actually co hosts. He actually co hosts the sick podcast

291
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: The Dodgers Own with Manzi Bonios and Bo Bentson, And

292
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 6: I said, I don't think that the twenty twenty one

293
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 6: or twenty twenty two Dodgers would have done what they

294
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: did last night. In other words, the twenty twenty one

295
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 6: Dodgers Kershaw would have left without without his three thousand k.

296
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 6: And he's doing it next week in Milwaukee and then

297
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 6: and the Dodgers would never have won a game like that. Like,

298
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 6: but there's something about the new Dodgers that meets the moment.

299
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 6: Something happened last year, some some page was turned and

300
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 6: maybe it's the show hey thing. But everything happened last

301
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: night the way it was supposed to happen, and that's

302
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: what kind of made it special too. I don't know

303
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 6: if the three thousandth k is as special without the walkoff.

304
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 6: You know that it was such a cherry on top

305
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 6: of the cake. You know, well, and it's really funny.

306
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 6: So Jay stew and MATSI can hop in like something happened.

307
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 6: So like obviously Dave Roberts was known as like the

308
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 6: buy the book manager. We stay what happened in the

309
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 6: play something happened in the playoffs last year? Was it

310
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 6: the clinching game he kept somebody in or he took

311
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 6: somebody out earlier where it was like, oh, he has

312
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 6: never done this before.

313
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it.

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Was in that moment or since that moment that to

315
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: your point, it's like, yes, we understand the analytics of

316
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: it's better to take him out after this time as

317
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: opposed to this time, but it is this is a

318
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: unique situation. I'm just curious, Like it does feel like

319
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was during the playoff run

320
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: or because they won the World Series, but it just

321
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: does feel like something's a little bit different there.

322
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 6: Absolutely different. And Dave Roberts, to his credit last night,

323
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 6: and I'm sorry I didn't even hear him afterwards talk

324
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 6: about it, but I'm guessing he was thinking, I have

325
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 6: what a thirty eight year old pitcher and I are,

326
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: however old he is, He's thrown ninety one pitch. He's

327
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: gotta be gassed. He didn't have his stuff all night.

328
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 6: Watch him anyways. Yeah, and it's like it would have

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 6: been so easy to take him out. I think most

330
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 6: of the people watching the game thought he was going

331
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 6: to take him out. So what's surprised all of us

332
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 6: that he brought him out? And thank god he did.

333
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, I think everybody gasped and cheered when he

334
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: came back out for that final sixth inning.

335
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

336
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: I liked him in that spot. I really did.

337
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 4: And yeah, Dave Roberts, like he really did make. It

338
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 4: wasn't one move, Aaron, because of the numerous pitchers that

339
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: we had on I l the moves that he made.

340
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 5: It wasn't one too. He made a.

341
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: Lot of really good moves, which he maybe had not

342
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: in the past.

343
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: I just remember as a guy who admittedly is a

344
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: casual baseball fan but was also critical of being two

345
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: by the books, two analytical in previous World Series runs.

346
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: I remember being impressed by him, like I am like

347
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: an old school baseball fan of like you go with

348
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: the feel of the game, and like it's not to

349
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: say that the picture if he doesn't throw one hundred

350
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: twenty pitches.

351
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: He's not a real man.

352
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: Like, that's not what I'm saying, But like what I

353
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: am saying is, you know, we all go back to

354
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: the famous you know, Blake Snell, and I know it

355
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: wasn't the Dodgers remembered he got taken out like the

356
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: fifth inning of a clinching Gate era, you know, losing

357
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: go home game of the World Series, and everybody's like,

358
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: what are we doing? And I just seem to remember

359
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: last year it was the balance of Okay, we understand

360
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: the analytics and they are important in our decision making process,

361
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go a little bit of feel old school.

362
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: This and that. So it's just something that I remembered

363
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: that kind of played into last night.

364
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: Well it's also, you know, to Manzi's point, even though

365
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: it was Yamamoto babblehead night, Kurshaw's next start is scheduled

366
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 2: to be in Milwaukee. You know, do you wanna do

367
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, he could give up nineteen

368
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: runs in that inning, but if you know, if he

369
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: was gonna get he was gonna get that strikeout at

370
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: some point, just leave him on, leave him out there?

371
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: Can I quick, just go back to just the numbers

372
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: sort of thing, because this is the as I look

373
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: at these numbers, Randy Johnson absurd right there. So Randy

374
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Johnson's second all time and strikeouts through about twelve hundred

375
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: innings less than Nolan Ryan, and his only nine hundred

376
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: strikeouts shy of him all time. So Randy Johnson was

377
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: leading the league in strikeouts in the late nineties and

378
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: early two thousands with three hundred and sixty four three

379
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two three hundred and thirty four strikeouts.

380
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: To Jason's point about Chris Sale, Chris Sale has led

381
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: the league strikeouts before, but only once in his careers

382
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: he'd thrown three hundred or more strikeouts. So the question becomes,

383
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: I think, is longevity. Yeah, so if you're a pitcher

384
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: like Spencer Strider at two hundred and eighty strikeouts a

385
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, it's best in the National League.

386
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: He underwent Tommy John surgery. I know he's not having

387
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: the greatest year this year, but you would have to

388
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: think that Spencer Strider's career is going to last long.

389
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: I think that's the true test of time. If you

390
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: consistently can be there for your team, which again is

391
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: a huge ask because again, only twenty guys have done it.

392
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily just the power pitchers. I don't think

393
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: it's necessarily the new way of baseball because you're not

394
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: playing the new way of baseball with your horses. I

395
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: think it's just it's maybe different early in Schemes's career

396
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: because you're trying to all right, let's not burn him

397
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: out so quickly. But at some point he's going to

398
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: carry a load that's like a Garrett Cole workload, who

399
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: again could be close as well. He's got his own

400
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: arm injuries and Tommy John surgery to deal with. But

401
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: like to sit there and say, like, we're never gonna

402
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: see this again, it's tough to say because you don't

403
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 2: know if a twenty two year old is going to

404
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 2: pitch fifteen years in the majors, you know what I mean. So,

405
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: and that's just where I go with this of like,

406
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: we want to make these these proclamations about the state

407
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: of pitching in the Major League Baseball, most of which

408
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: are true, But there are different types of guys out there,

409
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: and those are the guys that could be number twenty

410
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: one or twenty two.

411
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Well, and I think to your point earlier, sports are cyclical,

412
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: and like the reference you made about the game, right,

413
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: it was like five years ago, you can't draft a

414
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: running back in the first round. It's the dumbest thing

415
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: you've ever done. It's like, who are the two most

416
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: valuable players in the league last year? I know who

417
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: won the award, but it was probably Saquon Barkley and

418
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. You know, It's like basketball death of the Center.

419
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

420
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I watched Joe Yo Kitchen the playoffs this year. He's

421
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know, And it's like, so, you know,

422
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't know when it

423
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: would happen, or how it would happen, or what the

424
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: circumstances would be. Where pitchers just in general are kind

425
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: of given a longer leash. Maybe maybe at some point

426
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: the analytics back up that you don't need to pull

427
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: him after you know, seventy five eighty eighty five pitches.

428
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Whatever.

429
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: But to your point, and I do think it is

430
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: an important one, is sports are cyclical, and even just

431
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: in the time that we've been doing this, how many

432
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: things are are etched in stone as certainty again.

433
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: Run game, it's dead. The center it's dead.

434
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: The SEC is definitively better than the Big Ten in

435
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: color college football. Well, you know, it's a cycle, cyclical.

436
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we have back to back Big

437
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Ten champions. So I think that's an interesting point as well,

438
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: is that I think we do get caught up in

439
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: a moment too much, and sometimes things do kind of

440
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: revert back to things that we're not necessarily expecting.

00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: thought Manzie Milanio's at the news desk was just a

468
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: leading with the Luis Ortiz story earlier so she could

469
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: flex or Luis Ortisse pronunciation. However, Aaron, when I saw

470
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 2: this pitch, Oh my goodness, did you see this Luis

471
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: Ortiz pitch? Now that is under investigation.

472
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look it up right now. The one thing.

473
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: I will say, I don't totally know what those integrity

474
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: groups do, but I know that they are, like they're

475
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: unbelievable with the things that they can uncover. And when

476
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: you hear that one of the integrity firms is involved, yeah,

477
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: you probably did something and you're gonna get in a

478
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: lot of trouble for it.

479
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: So MANSI, I.

480
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 3: Know that you've oh I see it now, but going.

481
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, there's the one against the Mariners that is

482
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: kind of like, okay, the one against the Cardinals. My goodness,

483
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: like this thing it it one hopped. It one hopped

484
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: about fifty two feet from the pitcher's mound. It was

485
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was like halfway to the plate.

486
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't even close. So there's a reason why

487
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball needs to needs to investigate.

488
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: Wait, this would be like, this would be like I

489
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: need to get fired from Fox Sports Radio because of XYZ.

490
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it to lead hour two and then

491
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: you're just like, Aaron, how are you? And then I

492
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: just rip off like eight straight expletives in a row.

493
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, now we have to fire them. It's

494
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: like okay, yeah, it's not a perfect analogy. But if

495
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: you were betting on yourself to throw a ball, it

496
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: doesn't get much more of a ball than that one

497
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: right there.

498
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: People think the Malik Beasley late bucket to cover the

499
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: spread was obvious. This is one hundred times worse like

500
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: this is. It's just I get it now, I absolutely

501
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: get it. I thought it was another case of like,

502
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: all right, whatever, this thing wasn't even close because the

503
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: bet was apparently on a first pitch strike, you could

504
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: throw it anywhere. He could throw it to the moon,

505
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: and Luis Ortiz may have tried to. It felt like

506
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: he tried to throw it to the core of the earth,

507
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: like that's how far short it came from home plate.

508
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: But that's what major League Baseball is looking into. And

509
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 2: Louis Ortiz, if that's any evidence, I think is going

510
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 2: to be missing some more time in Major League Baseball

511
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: than just the leave that he was placed on today.

512
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: Welcome in. It is Caveno or Rich here on Fox

518
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: It's crazy to think, but next week is actually the

519
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: start of the college football season. And I say that

520
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: because you know it. But for those of you that

521
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: don't know, media days starting up. Big twelve has their

522
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: media availabilities starting on Tuesday of next week. The SEC

523
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: will follow in the following week, and then the Big

524
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: Ten will have theirs later on in the month of

525
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: July in Las Vegas. Same thing with the ACC. But

526
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 2: next week we're going to be talking college football. And

527
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: yesterday on Fox Sports Radio on The Doug Gottlieb Show,

528
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: executive producer Jason Stewart, who's hanging out with us, brought

529
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: up the topic of the midway and what we were

530
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: looking forward to for the rest of the season. For

531
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: the rest of the year, excuse me, and Aaron I

532
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: said something in there about college football because I feel

533
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: that there's not a lot of buzz with college football

534
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: entering this season, and I think one of the reasons

535
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: is because there's no Nick Saban And I realize now

536
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: how much college football missus Saban being in the game.

537
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 2: And I think last year we felt well Alabama is

538
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: still Alabama? How are they going to respond without Saban?

539
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: I didn't believe that Alabama was still Alabama, and it

540
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: showed last year. And now we enter this year and

541
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't think Alabama is a part of any major

542
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: conversation when talking about college football. And when we're talking

543
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: about college football, we're talking about arch Manning, We're talking

544
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: about Penn State and maybe little Ohio State, a little

545
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: of Ohio State, and what can Dion do now in Colorado.

546
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: Outside of that, I know, conference wise, there's going to

547
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 2: be stuff, but on a national scale, I don't think

548
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: that there's a ton for people to latch outo right now.

549
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: And I think part of the reason is because a

550
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: figure like Nick Saban and what he meant to Alabama

551
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: is no longer in the game. And I feel that

552
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: college football we're really feeling the effects of no Nick

553
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: Saban in the game.

554
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: So two quick thoughts, because I know you want to

555
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 3: open it up to the group. One.

556
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: First of all, even with the arch Manning stuff, it

557
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: felt that did this week feel a little manufactured too?

558
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 1: Like it was just nobody there's nothing to talk about. Oh,

559
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: let's get Paul Finebaum on and have him say something crazy,

560
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: and that was where he said, oh, I think Arch

561
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be the best quarterback since Tim Tebow, and

562
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: then it just became a talking point and it didn't

563
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: feel to me. It didn't feel organic. It felt like

564
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: we need somebody to say something crazy so we have

565
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: something to talk about. And I don't even think even

566
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: with Arch, it's as big as I think. I think

567
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people are intrigued, but I don't think

568
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: it's as big as people think. The other thing too,

569
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: Dan that I'm gonna say, and I do think Saban

570
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: is a big part of why there's no buzz. I

571
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: am gonna say something extremely unpopular, but I truly believe it.

572
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason there's no buzz is

573
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: because individual games do not matter as much anymore, and

574
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, Ohio State Texas is gonna be

575
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: really cool, but either of those teams can lose, and

576
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: it's like whatever, and I it's a broader conversation for

577
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: another day. You and I will probably be filling in

578
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: at some point and we can dive into this. But like,

579
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: what made college football college football was that every single

580
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: Saturday mattered every single year, and that just isn't the

581
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: case anymore. So it's like, yeah, we can be excited

582
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: for Ohio State Texas, but ultimately it doesn't have the

583
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: stakes that it would have even two, three, four years ago.

584
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of it as well. Maybe

585
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, but I think that's part of it.

586
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: Well, the only pushback that I would give to that

587
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: is last year July third, we were not looking forward

588
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: to an Indiana Ohio State game, and then Indiana does

589
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: what they do and all of a sudden that becomes

590
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: quite the matchup.

591
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 6: Oh.

592
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there's not individual games that matter over

593
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: the course of the year.

594
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: I do think that.

595
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, it actually didn't end up mattering

596
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: because both teams made the playoff.

597
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 2: Sure, so it was the lead up to it, there

598
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: there was hype.

599
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and there there was hype in the lead

600
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: up to a lot of games. But I just think

601
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: that I don't know, it's just it's just I don't

602
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: want to say it's like again, I think individual fan

603
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: bases like, yeah, you're excited about your team and you're

604
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: worried about this, and you're this and that.

605
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: But as a sport, I think it's harder to.

606
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: Like on a week two week basis, feel as invested

607
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: when you know the games don't mean as much. And

608
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, and

609
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm still listening. I'm still excited about Clem's in LSU

610
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: in week one. I'm still excited about Michigan and Oklahoma

611
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: early in the year, certainly Texas, Ohio State. But I

612
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 1: just I think that's part of it, too, is everybody

613
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: knows that any individual result doesn't matter the way that

614
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: it did two years ago, and I think that's part

615
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: of why there's probably not as much exciting.

616
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see the ramifications, especially with

617
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State losing to Michigan and then winning the National Championship.

618
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: Does that happen in other scenarios as well? Does that

619
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: happen in an Iron Bowl? You know? Does that? You know?

620
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: Does that happen in an Oregon Washington match up? You

621
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: know those sort of things where your team loses and

622
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: then you go on to win and you have those

623
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: fan bases bickering over it. But I get what you're saying.

624
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: I think that the lack of having in Alabama there

625
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 2: is telling. I felt that Lebron James should have probably

626
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: retired two years ago to allow the NBA to breathe,

627
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: But at some point I think that the league will

628
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: miss him, sure, And so that's kind of so with

629
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: college football. We had great coaches, and Dabo's still at

630
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: Clemson with the national championship, but Jim Harbaugh's left Urban

631
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: Myers no longer coaching, But I think Saban still brought

632
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: it with just who he is and what Alabama is,

633
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: so it's not equal to everyone else. And I look

634
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: at the NFL. I don't even know if we miss

635
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: anybody from the NFL. I can tell you that we

636
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 2: actually we didn't miss Ben Roethlisberger. We didn't miss Philip Rivers,

637
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: we didn't miss Drew Brees. We probably didn't miss Peyton

638
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: Manning because Tom Brady just kept on playing. So if

639
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: there was any point of years past that we wanted

640
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: to carry on, it was just latched on to Brady

641
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: that we're like, okay, well at least Brady's still here

642
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: to keep things normal. Then Brady leaves and there wasn't

643
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: as much of a shock. And I don't know if

644
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: it's because Aaron Rodgers was still there or Patrick Mahomes

645
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: has done what he's done, or Lamar Jackson and Josh

646
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: Allen have emerged. But I feel that's all part of it.

647
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: And that's what I find like so interesting is just

648
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: because you're great in your like a massive star, when

649
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: you leave, it doesn't necessarily translate into you actually being missed.

650
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: And we were just talking about Caitlin Clark, and I'm

651
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: sorry for as much as growth as the women's game has,

652
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: I think we felt that college basketball did not. Women's

653
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: college basketball last year did not have the same oomph

654
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: as it did then when Caitlin Clark was there the

655
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: last two years. So technically in women's college basketball, you

656
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 2: can name all the players that they had and what

657
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: Yukon did, but it still wasn't necessarily the same. And

658
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: I think ratings proved that that sport missed Caitlin Clark.

659
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure every sport take away their superstar actually

660
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: misses their superstar.

661
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: No, And I think it's a great point on the

662
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: NFL too, and I think it's obvious, but it is

663
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: such a unique like I think it's such a unique

664
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: business and enterprise in that it's one of the biggest

665
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: businesses that we have in America and it continues to

666
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: find ways to grow, continues to find ways to be relevant,

667
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: and you know, if I can run back to college

668
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: football for a second, like that's what I find very

669
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: interesting about the state of college football is I think

670
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: we're increasingly going to it's just a minor league for

671
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. From the perspective of expanded playoff, regular season

672
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter as much, players getting paid, all of that.

673
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: But the thing that makes the NFL the NFL, I

674
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: think part of it is the juice angle that you're

675
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: talking about. The NFL finds ways to make you care

676
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: about the NFL in February and March with free obviously

677
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: on February, but March with free agency, April with the draft,

678
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: May with the schedule release. And I know this isn't

679
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: necessarily a compare and the NFL to college football, but

680
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: I think that's where college football, and to the point

681
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: that you're making about there not being a lot of

682
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: buzz going into this season, I think that's where college football.

683
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 3: You can't just.

684
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Keep expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding. You have to make people

685
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: care in other ways. And I'll just I know it's

686
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: not the focal point of what we're talking about but

687
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: I just think it's an interesting conversation that college football,

688
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: in the growth that they've experienced in expansion and paying

689
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: players and all of the things that have happened, I

690
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: don't think they factored that part in. And that's what

691
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: the NFL does better than everybody else.

692
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, major League Baseball for so long

693
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 2: was kind of looking for that stuf. Like I felt

694
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: major League Baseball missed Derek Jeter when he retired, Like

695
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it, you know, when a Rod had

696
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: his issues, Like there are other greats from that era,

697
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: but I felt and out bringing Jason or or Monci

698
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: in this and just because they're baseball heads, like I

699
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 2: felt something was missing from baseball when Jeter left, because

700
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: he's the captain, he's the Yankees, he's that generation that

701
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: we watched for so long and tied to, and then

702
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: there was nobody there in Major League Baseball to immediately

703
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: pick up uh or carry that torch. Did any of

704
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: you guys feel the same when Jeter retired a decade ago?

705
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think that's a fair statement.

706
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 4: I feel like, especially seeing the stars right now in baseball,

707
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: because there's so many right now, I feel that people

708
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: tune in to watch, and I think there was like

709
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 4: like a lull where yeah.

710
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 5: Like it was like, uh, who am I going to

711
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 5: tune in.

712
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: To watch well?

713
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just Jeter, it was Jeter was a

714
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: metaphor for like that era of the Yankees where it

715
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it was the cliche, but it

716
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: was true whether you loved him or whether you hated him.

717
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: They were pretty much in the World Series every year

718
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: and you were watching him, and you were watching him

719
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: the root for him, watching him, root against him. And

720
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: I think Jeter was a metaphor for that era, and

721
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: then when he was gone, it was like, oh, that

722
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: era is officially over.

723
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: I think that when you look at tennis and we're

724
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: just saying it right now. By the way, that my

725
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: way Derek Jeter commercial that they did, I think it

726
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: was gatorade like in this final year, like like I'm

727
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: you know, cutting onions, you know, chopping up onions and

728
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 2: watching it. I didn't care about the Yankees at all,

729
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: was never a Yankees fan, but like watching that, you know,

730
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: plus he's a Michigan guy, you know, like like I

731
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 2: have no reason to like Derek Jeter whatsoever, But seeing

732
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: that I was like, oh, geez man, why you know,

733
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: what's up with the pollen man? This is crazy in tennis,

734
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this, the trio of the Federer, Nadal, Djoko

735
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: that we've had and become accustomed to, we only have

736
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: thirty three percent. Djokovic is still playing. Now Federer and

737
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: Nadala moved on. Serena Williams was women's tennis for two

738
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 2: decades and now I you know, we're talking cocoa golf

739
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 2: here and there. She's one of the many that are

740
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 2: out Madison Keyes's you know, just it was Serena and

741
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: during that time when you watched, you either Serena was

742
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 2: playing or you weren't paying attention. And so like that's

743
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: the level that I go to. And that may be

744
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: the like the super extreme, but I think like with

745
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: even like the newer Carlos Alkarez and Yanick Sinner, who

746
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: people are becoming more accustomed to, and with Djokovic still playing,

747
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: has really softened the loss of Federer and Nadal, But

748
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: there's been nothing to take the spot of Serena Williams,

749
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: and I don't think there there really ever will be

750
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: in women's tennis. But that's that's like one where I

751
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: say like, wow, I truly miss because every summer we're

752
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: waiting every other day for Serena to play, or even

753
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: Venus for that matter, but specifically Serena, and I think

754
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 2: that was that's a big miss that we have in sports.

755
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask your question, Dan. Obviously, you know college oops,

756
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: guy whatever. I don't really feel like Duke is as

757
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: hateable without coach K. John Shire really has no opinion

758
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: or no personality. I'll actually say this, like being at

759
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: the Final four with him this year, he actually seems

760
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: like a genuinely nice human being.

761
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 3: You know, we talked about Kershaw earlier.

762
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: It's like with Shire, it was like and it was

763
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: funny because I said he's the anti JJ Reddick, Like

764
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: basically nothing was about him. Everything was about how great

765
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: his coaching staff was, his players were, the player's parents were.

766
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: I owe it all to them. Da da da da da.

767
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, college oops is a niche sport,

768
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: but so is tennis, so is whatever. And I do

769
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: feel like Duke is less hateable and because they're less hateable,

770
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: less interesting without coach K.

771
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart's our executive producer.

772
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 6: I was thinking the exact same thing. Aaron and I

773
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 6: come at it from completely different ways, Like he is

774
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 6: fully involved in the sport and I'm as casual as

775
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 6: you could be. So from my perspective, I have felt

776
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 6: that the last couple tournaments, I've felt the last two marches,

777
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 6: I have felt that there's just there's no there there

778
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 6: sure so it was like either you were counting all

779
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 6: of Coach K's accolades or you were rooting against Duke,

780
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 6: but there was just something tangible, something memorable about those

781
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 6: And I totally agree.

782
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I was gonna say, I'm like, on a certain level,

783
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: Jim Beheim at Syracuse and like of that, but not

784
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: like Syracuse is so like far off the map, like

785
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't even remember any highlight from any

786
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: game at the Carrier Dome this past season, like none,

787
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: Like I don't remember it ever being spotlighted. But I

788
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 2: also think, like with the absence and you're you're you're

789
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: both right on Coach K. I also think it's helped

790
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 2: tom Izzo's profile because he and I guess Mark few

791
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 2: if you want to, but it's still not you know,

792
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: ISO's Iso, I feel is the last him and Bill

793
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: salf and Mark few of the last ones. But I

794
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 2: think it's really helped Izo of being that old guy

795
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: because of the showdowns that he had with Coach K

796
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: and Roy Williams and others. But I feel like Izzo

797
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: has kind of benefited from us missing a guy like

798
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: Coach K.

799
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's a great point. And I

800
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 3: think he was the one.

801
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, he was as vocal as any of them about, Hey,

802
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, this portal thing's kind of out of control,

803
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: this nil thing. If we thought about how we're gonna

804
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: do it, and I think the other guys and like, listen,

805
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: I know it's easy to just like bash. Like I

806
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: understand Coach K is like seventy three years old. He's like,

807
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to just figure out anil Like, okay,

808
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: so one day we go from we can't pay players

809
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: and we'll be fired if we do too. There's literally

810
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: no rules on how much we can pay them. Like,

811
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: so I don't blame Coach K or Roy Williams or

812
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: whatever for just saying, you know what, I'll let somebody

813
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: else figure this out.

814
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: I'm in my seventies.

815
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: But I do think it does give Tom Izzo some

816
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 1: cachet of like oh crap, Like we watched him last year,

817
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: you know, and again, if you're not a diehard, you

818
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: don't remember all the details. But they won the Big

819
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: Ten regular season, they went to the Elite eight. In

820
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: the Elite eight, they lost to the only team that

821
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: was better. You know, they lost. They were as a

822
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: two seed, they lost to a one seed, and it's like, oh,

823
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Izzo still got the goods. And I do think, like,

824
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: it's not like you move him up in all time

825
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: lists because he's figured it out.

826
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: But I think it's pretty cool that.

827
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, some guys just kind of punted on this

828
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: era un said I'll never figure it out, and he

829
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: was one that he's kind of doing it the same way.

830
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: He doesn't take a.

831
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: Lot of transfers, he doesn't have a team that shoots

832
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: forty three is a game, and it's like, oh, tom Izzo,

833
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: there he is another Big Ten championship.

834
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,279

846
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 3: I think you're.

847
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,600

849
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: get to some calls, and STUFF but i think it's

850
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: especially interesting given what did we Spend all April and

851
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: may talking about who is the face OF? The nba

852
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: do we need a face OF. The nba why don't

853
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: we have a face OF the nba IN the nfl, is,

854
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: like yeah, you know just literally the greatest quarterback ever

855
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: retired and we're just gonna keep chugging along without missing.

856
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 3: A beat it's kind.

857
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: Of INCREDIBLE and i know it's easy to prop UP

858
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: the nfl and push DOWN, the NBA but i think

859
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: that is an interesting analogy of Even when brady was

860
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: the last of that group to leave, the league didn't miss,

861
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: a beat and here we are, you know still trying

862
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: to figure Out as lebron is going about to be.

863
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: Forty one we know he's nothing close to the best

864
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: player in the. League anymore who is the quote unquote

865
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,600

00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,160

886
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: some point the league will, miss him even though we

887
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 2: get tired of him and get tired of. His antics

888
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a point where the League Misses. Lebron

889
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 2: james there's also the point and This Isn't. Lebron James

890
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: lebron james. ISN'T irreplaceable i Feel That tiger woods, Was

891
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 2: irreplaceable like there will never be anybody that fills the

892
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: void in the gap that was Left By tiger woods

893
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: just KIND of i don't want to say fading away from,

894
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: the game but just not being involved for the variety.

895
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: Of reasons that is one that is just you're never gonna.

896
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: Fill it and as a, GOLF fan i always got

897
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: annoyed for people who had CRITICIZED The pga tour be

898
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: like why can't he had? No plan like there is

899
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: no plan for that to, you know to enter and,

900
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: To Exit Like tiger woods is just the one.

901
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: Of one he was so OBVIOUS that i didn't even

902
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: feel like it was worth referencing in the, last segment

903
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: like it's just in. MY life i mean he has

904
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: to be you Know in Kate len clark may one day,

905
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,080

906
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: athlete ever and there's just never, you know it's Like

907
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,840

908
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: did you Read That army ktaean book that they did?

909

Speaker 1: On Him, not tiger, BUT no i can't. Believe that

910
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: i've read it probably two or, three times cover. To

911
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: cover it's like six. Hundred pages. It's incredible but when

912
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: you understand how he, was raised you just there's there

913
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: will never be as long as they are, playing golf

914
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: another golfer. Like HIM and i won't bore people too,

915
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: many details but it's like dad was in. THE military

916
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: i mean the dad used to like train him like a,

917
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: football player but with a golf club in. His hand,

918
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: you know like he's, you know getting ready to, tee

919
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: up and, you know the dad's throwing stuff, at him

920
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: screwing slurs, at, him whatever just to kind of make

921
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: him as mentally tough as.

Speaker 2: I mean That's what.

1003
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's like it's almost a default. Of people

1004
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: now assume.

1005
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 5: One of those it might Have.

1006
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: Been hinge actually it might have Been, hing yeah so.

1007
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 5: It is it is becoming. The norm You're not you're.

1008
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 2: Not.

1009
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: Wrong yeah ONE thing i wanted to say ON that

1010
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: i wonder what the normal action on the first pitch

1011
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: of the third inning of a Regular Season major league baseball,

1012
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: Game IS and i wonder how much had to be

1013
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: bet for it to.

1014
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: Be flagged you Know what.

1015
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 2: I'm, saying yeah, you know it's an, easy, bet right

1016
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: it's one of th on. You know but you're, then,

1017
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: wondering like why would all these people be betting On

1018
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: The luis ortiz? First pitch so there'd have to be

1019
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 2: some sort. Of Irregularity But jason stewart made the point

1020
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 2: off the air to me that the pitch had to

1021
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: be so bad because you have to make sure that

1022
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 2: the batter doesn't even think, about swinging like usually like, it's,

1023
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: like okay, first pitch take you can put one over is,

1024
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: a fastball but you have to, leave everything like you

1025
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 2: can't leave anything. To chance so there's one pitch that

1026
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: was it was, a, ball definitely but the second one.

1027
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: Didn't make it fifty, feet, yeah right like one.

1028
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 2: Top ten feet away from The, plated yeah and that's.

1029
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 2: The game but he had that's and that's your first

1030
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 2: pitch of. The, Game yeah but he didn't get caught

1031
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: because it was a. Bad pitch he got caught because

1032
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: there was so much irregularity. On IT so i just

1033
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: wonder if it's like everyone's just been ten bucks on.

1034
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 2: Their phone, oh yeah first pitch is, a ball and

1035
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 2: then somebody was like eight thousand dollars on a ball

1036
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 2: and that was how he.

1037
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:01,200

00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: It does like does that trigger just a warning in

1089
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: the casual fan, of, like oh A major league baseball

1090

1096
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: on saturdays made, this argument and as it Pertains To,

1097
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: Malik beasley, he's like maybe we're just offering too many things.

1098
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 3: To BET and i Know. That mark it was Actually.

1099
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,239

Speaker 1: BET so i.

1102
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: Get. IT it i, just like that is something to.

1103
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: MESS with a points spread is and that takes some

1104
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: maneuvering to just throw a first pitch ball takes nothing,

1105
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: like it and it doesn't it doesn't necessarily affect. Your

1106
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 2: team it's so minute in the GAME that I just

1107
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 2: i don't think that it's, necessarily worth, you know having

1108
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: out there as. A bet, but hey to each. THEIR

1109
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: own i, don't know maybe too much is too much

1110
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 2: of one thing is. Never GOOD and i just think

1111
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 2: that a first pitch ball. Or strike Our Teammate jared

1112
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 2: smith always tweets about no run. First innings that's what he.

1113
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: Bets on but that's you have, more, opportunities right, three batters,

1114
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,959
Speaker 2: you know possibly three outs. Each side all of those.

1115
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 2: Make sense but to do it on just one pitch

1116
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 2: that seems, to be, you know. Too minute, it's like,

1117
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 2: you know just on a make or misshot IN an. Nba,

1118
