00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: losses in a row after getting swept at the hands

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: of the Angels over the weekend, which I believe the

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: Angel will hang a banner for that said, sure, or

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: have a big bobblehead night for it where they just

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, somehow I'm able to commemorate it. Uh, sometime

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: in July. Here's all the team and over there is

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Mike Trout watching? Yeah? Is it onside? It's all there.

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: It's Mike Trout, That's what it is. So my NBA

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: lottery conspiracy theory on top of conspiracy theory in a second.

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: But first I just wanted to say this because I forget.

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, look, we're waiting for the NBA Playoffs to

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: rea zoom again tomorrow, which gave you our picks for

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: the Thunder and the and the Tea Wolves a few

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: minutes ago. Uh. You know what. One of the story

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: that I love from this weekend was watching Tray Young

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: trolling the Nick Fans viral. Yes stop. Tray Young put

32
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: out a tweet after the Knicks one and and you know,

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: people talk about how loud Madison Square Garden is. He

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: put out a tweet that said, sorry, sorry Nick Fans,

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is louder. Oh sorry sorry if that you know,

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: get you, dude. Whatever we talked about, Caitlyn Clark lives

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: rent free in Angel Reese's head, which clearly is part

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: of what goes on between the two of them. The

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Knicks live rent free in Trey Young's head. Okay, he

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: is only relevant when Atlanta wins in New York maybe

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: once a year. That's the only time Trey Young is relevant.

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: We don't even talk about him at the trade deadline.

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: But oh, I'll win a game in New York and

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I'll wave to the fans or I'll pretend to celebrate

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: on the Knicks logo, and people pay attention to me

46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: for all of eight seconds. Meanwhile, after this game, I'm

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: back to not even making the playoffs, or maybe squeaking

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: into the playing round and being basically irrelevant. He's like

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller lte right, like the way Reggie Miller gets

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: under Knicks fans skin, which I'm sure is gonna happen

51
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: in this series. He's gonna be broadcasting the games like

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Trey Young is like Reggie Miller light. It's like, dude,

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: you don't annoy everybody that much. Okay, And oh, by

54
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: the way, just like Reggie Miller would have been if

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: the Knicks called and said, hey, we're Young, we want

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: a trade for you, he would say, oh, yes, one

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I love New York. It's my greatest dream

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: to play for the Knicks. I love playing in that building.

59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: He would change, he would throw his arms around the fans,

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: he would go and do autographed signings at model's. He

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: would do anything he could to get to the Knicks

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: just to be relevant again. So yeah, so when Trey

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Young does like, yeah whatever, he's just jealous and he's

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller lights, that's what he's Yeah.

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I hate the Cubs, but if they

66
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: came and suddenly offered me a giant deal to be

67
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: a broadcast partner with them, all I might have to

68
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: look at it or put on a jersey long enough

69
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: to throw out a first pitch it ring. I mean, yeah,

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: you could do those kind of things. I man, Bernie

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: Mack did, and Bernie Mack can do it. So could

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: I look all of that to say for Trey Young?

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he did win that playoff series in twenty

74
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: twenty one. He still has that on you. And this

75
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: really comes back to the age old. Well, let's go

76
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: into the movies, because we love to go to the

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: movies with our references. Let's go to the Last Crusade

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: when Indiana Jones helps that that old Knight finally shed

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: this mortal quote.

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: What's he saying? Thank you?

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: You need to exercise some demons, Knicks fans, right, this

82
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: is how you shut Reggie Miller up once and for

83
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: all because you know how many rings he got nothing,

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: how many Trey Young got nothing, But for the moment.

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: They still have those huge playoff wins and experiences that

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: have caused decades of angst in the case of Miller,

87
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: and several years of you shaking your fists and getting mad.

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: You hate Steph Curry in his mouthpiece, and you just

89
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: don't like the sight of Trey Young because of what

90
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: he did.

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: He get forty years. Oh, I don't care about that anymore.

92
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: The guy okay, yeah, okay, we got to the playoffs

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: and we loved Let's go look at look at where

94
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: he's gone. The guy is irrelevant now. He was one

95
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: of the most exciting players in the NBA, and now

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: he's irrelevant again. We don't even talk with him around

97
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, which when we should talk about him.

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: It's Hey, he wins a game, he gets a little

99
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: bit minor headlines for a night because he celebrated on MSG.

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: He would if the Knicks wanted to try, I'm telling

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you man, he would show. He would ride the subway

102
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: and do PSA and say Hi, I'm Trey Young. I

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: ride the subway to and from MSG all the time.

104
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Ride with me, save money, save traffic. He would do

105
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: anything New York asked of him. He would do that.

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is.

107
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 3: I have to figure out the benefit to his wallet, though,

108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: because how how big is the tax discrepancy between New

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: York uh and Georgia? And let's face it, I mean

110
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: the cost of real estate is going to be through

111
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: the roof five year, two hundred and fifteen million dollar

112
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: deal signed in twenty twenty one.

113
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: So he's getting close, getting close bud apartment? Man? Yeah,

114
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: how far away from uh? Massive regards? Oh dude, you're

115
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: in the Bronx. Wait what yeah? Yeah, yeah, No, you're

116
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: deep in the Bronx. Now you're talking about riding a

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: different type of train. I love Amtrak. Yeah, you know,

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: I can't get it from you. Gotta get to Penn

119
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Station and then you're gonna get Okay, then we'll find

120
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: we'll find a way to don't wory about it, We'll

121
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: find a way to get you. Jason.

122
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: Your comparison is a little off, though, How is that?

123
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: What the hell's wrong with Miller Light?

124
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's Reggie Miller Light.

125
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: There's nothing wrong with Miller Light eight double and it's

126
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: better than Trey Young.

127
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: Uh cold Miller Light tray. Okay, yeah, sure, okay, I'll

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: give you that. Yeah. Generally, the one night a year

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: where Trey Young maybe wins an MSG, I get Trey

130
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: Young the other three sixty four Miller Light.

131
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 4: But on that night you just drink two of them.

132
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: Why stop it too? I mean if you look.

133
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's only because he normally has at least

134
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: one stolen off the table.

135
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, while he's trying to drink it. Well, yeah, exit out,

136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: exit swollen, dumb. Jason Smith Mike har Lock for the

137
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. A lot of bricks at the bars, man,

138
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,200

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: not just not just not just that Trey Young throws

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: up there for the most part when he's shooting, when

141
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: he goes nine for thirty six. No, no, no, But

142
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: I've talked about this and now I'm going to give

143
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: you a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theory. Okay. Uh.

144
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: We played the Shaquille O'Neill audio for you a few

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: minutes ago, in which he did a podcast earlier today

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: where he said, hey, yeah, talk about the NBA Draft

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: lottery potentially being fixed before the Draft lottery in nineteen

148
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: ninety two. When Shaq came out, Commissioner David Sturry, He says,

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: David Stern called him into room and said, hey, where

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: do you want to play? Where it's hot or cold?

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: He will you surf for ski? Right? I got cush

00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: Decided she wanted to watch it, but you know, random

155
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: note not to take it too far down. The Tangent

156
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: Rookie premiere was this weekend. All the photo shoots for

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: the trading cards and stuff out here in La Kay

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: Adams posted that she asked everybody about Jerry Maguire, all

159
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: the attendees, nobody knew what it was.

160
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'm sweating, dude, sweating my contract. Sugar,

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Bob Sugar telling me I'm missing opportunity by being with you.

162
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: So surfersky, kush left whatever. Jared just want to play

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: ball Dad, one of those agents. So Shaq says, yeah,

164
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, do I want to play where it's hot

165
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: or cold? I said hot? And Tadah the Orlando Magic

166
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: one of only a couple of teams warm weather teams

167
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: in the lottery. Everybody else is a cold weather team,

168
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: and hey, they win the draft lottery. Now, conspiracy theory

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: on top of conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory, the NBA Draft

170
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: lottery is fixed. Why one reason that I could throw

171
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: out there that I would say, I guarantee you that

172
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: this would be something thought about, is that so NBA

173
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: teams will understand I'm not going to win the draft lottery,

174
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: that Sacramento's not gonna win the draft lottery, right, and

175
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: the Pistons aren't going to win the draft all these

176
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: different things. Well, pists actually won a couple years ago.

177
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is these smaller teams that, hey,

178
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna tank because I'd rather the ping pong balls

179
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: come our way and maybe we can get somebody big

180
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: and that would change our franchise. No. Well, with the

181
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: NBA Draft lottery again, conspiracory that it's fixed. This sends

182
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: these teams a message, don't tank because you're not gonna

183
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: get the number one pick. Oh Cooper flag is here.

184
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Guess what Mavericks get it? Oh Man, Yeah, no, that's

185
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: kind of how it goes. So the conspiracy theory that

186
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: the draft lottery is fixed to get teams to stop tanking,

187
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: so they give them more honest effort and they play

188
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: more for the playoffs and try to move on than

189
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: they do. Hey, we're done. We're putting it away at

190
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: game sixty five. There's no reason to try anymore, and

191
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: we're happy being the lottery where we could get the

192
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: ping pong balls fall our way. Conspiracy theory about a

193
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Oh I kind of like that.

194
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it really the secret decoder ring says, don't

195
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: tank or just try, just try. Let's let's use the

196
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: soul savers and get them in, just try.

197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I kind of like it.

198
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: Right on one point eight percent here one point eight percent.

199
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: Derek row was six percent and change for Zion Williamson.

200
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: You've got you've got to, and you help the league

201
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: by making trades in the case of Anthony Davis and

202
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: Luka Doncic.

203
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: Telling you man, just think about it. It accomplishes all

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: those things. Is now teams can say, all right, well

205
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: they're not gonna give us the pick, so we may

206
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: as well try. Oh hey look we got in, we

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: squeaked in. Hey we got out of the playing round.

208
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Hey look we won the first round of the playoffs. Hey,

209
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: we upset the Apple card. We get more teams, more

210
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: concerted effort, better play at the end of the season, right,

211
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: more exciting play than just how many twenty five point

212
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: burials do we see from game fifty five or sixty

213
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: on where it's like, okay, well the Knicks are playing

214
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the Hornets tonight. This is gonna be the Knicks by

215
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: fifty because the Hornets have quit, or here's the thunder

216
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: or playing the playing the Kings. Whatever, Hey, this is

217
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a burial. This is gonna be this is

218
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a thirty point win. Like you don't see

219
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: that anymore? Like now suddenly we're we're we're fixing the

220
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: draft lottery to improve the caliber of play in the NBA.

221
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: That is like chef's kiss, what just try?

222
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: I mean, think of all these teams perennially bad made ownership,

223
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: general manager, so many bites at the Apple and it

224
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: at no point is their hunger quenched, right, and is

225
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: it's you know, is your stomach full by any shots?

226
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm in the Pirates of the Caribbean.

227
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: I drink and I feel nothing whatever else, But yeah,

228
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 3: it's because I'm thinking of all these bottom feeding organizations.

229
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: Doesn't seem to really work out for them. Man, they

230
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 3: can't get out of their own way. And as a

231
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 3: lifelong Chicago guy, I mean certainly that's kind of been

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: the case in my world too, Caleb Williams. It's all

233
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: on you, Derek Rose. You had your year, and now

234
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: we go from there. I mean I had Joe Kim Noah,

235
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: he tried harder.

236
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. We know we tried hard.

237
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was he was part of the

238
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: try hard generation. But I kind of like the cut

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: of your jib here, yeah, telling you making and going

240
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: the other way saying, all right, you might be bad,

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: but you at least have to give me an honest effort.

242
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: You like that, right, Yeah? Yeah, because you're not gonna

243
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: get the ping pong balls or not gonna fall your way. Yeah,

244
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: but we have a fourteen point that you have a

245
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: zero percent chance of getting the number one overall pick.

246
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Zero point. You have a blue Tarsky GPA chance of

247
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: getting that number one overall pick, and that is zero

248
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: point zero zero. So now you're gonna go play well,

249
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: I guess all right, God, how fun?

250
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: But what if your team just sucks.

251
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Well, there's always that justin. It depends if your team

252
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: just sucks but they're not really relevant. You're not getting

253
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: the pick. If your team sucks but you're the Sixers

254
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: or the Bulls or the Mavericks. Hey, you got a chance.

255
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: You got a chance. Man seems to have a chance.

256
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: But this is where you wish in the NBA you

257
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: had a team like the Packers where you at least

258
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: get some of the financial data that comes out in

259
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: terms of revenues and how it flows through. Because with

260
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: the national TV rights deal that they just saw, what

261
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: was it seventy five billion or some astronomical and out

262
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: I mean cut between thirty teams.

263
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: The hell do you care? We suck?

264
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: Okay, fans aren't showing up. I don't get their popcorn money.

265
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm still getting a giant ass check from

266
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: the league no matter how bad I am.

267

00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: But this story is starting to gain some attention. Yes,

349
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it the last couple of days. Everybody's

350
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: favorite seven hundred and sixty five million dollars slugger Wan

351
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Soto has been accused with video evidence of not hustling.

352
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Happened against the Yankees last night, in a game where

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees wound up beating the Mets, in which he

354
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: didn't run out of ground ball the second might have

355
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: been able to beat it out, you never know, might

356
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: have been able to change a game, but didn't hustle. Okay, Well,

357
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: one play not hustling, all right, that I can kind

358
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: of understand that. Then tonight against the Red Sox, he

359
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: thought he had a home run, he did not, and

360
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: he wound up at first base.

361
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: What did I say to the point one?

362
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: So I know, fly as one deep to laugh back

363
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: to the whoa, and it's off the fact and Soda

364
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: will have to stop at first base. Sodo barely got

365
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: to first, he's running on the first pitch and he

366
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: steals the base. So the Mets rad Yeah, okay, I

367
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: understood that I wasn't hustling, so I stole second base? Okay. Uh.

368
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: Carlos Mendez, a Mets manager, said tonight he's going to

369
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: talk to Jan Soda about hustling out of the batter's

370
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: box after he watched what he thought was a home

371
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: run bounce off the Green Monster. Now, listen, should wan

372
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: So too be hustling one hundred percent? One hundred percent?

373
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't not hustle in New York. Right.

374
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: There's some places that will allow that where you cannot hustle,

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: but certain places you can't. You can't do it in

376
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: New York, you can't do it in l A. Remember

377
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: Johnny hustling Manny Machado, Right, you can't certain places you

378
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: can't do it. Some places will overlook your transgressions. If

379
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: you're a big star, you can't do it there because

380
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: the media and the fans will hold you accountable and

381
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: make your life miserable. So this is it, Like this

382
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: is where Juan Soto has to kind of come around to, Hey,

383
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: you got to understand, however, you did things in the

384
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: past in San Diego and and every other place that

385
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: was okay with you doing it because they wanted you

386
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: to stay right. So, hey, we don't want to upset

387
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: the guy. We want him just want to stay here, right.

388
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: But didn't happen in San Diego, didn't happen in New York.

389
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: He's a lot with the Yankees. But now he's a

390
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: mat and he's got seven hundred and sixty five million

391
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: dollars and it's guaranteed. No, dude, he still got a hustle.

392
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: So you got a hustle, man Chase. There's nothing that's

393
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: going to get you to be have a miserable life

394
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: than not running things out. And now it's front in

395
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: front and center, and now here's your chance to take

396
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: care of it, right, And and he kind of did

397
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: by stealing second right after. But you can't have another

398
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: instance of I'm not hustling on a ground ball or

399
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: a fly ball where I could take an extra base on.

400
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: You cannot hustle all you want as long as you're

401
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: not tied for one hundred and second in batting, tied

402
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: for fortieth at home runs, and tied for ninety seventh

403
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 3: and RBI.

404
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: If you're right near the top of those.

405
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: Walk if you want, crawl, moon walk, skip down the road,

406
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 3: do a little burt thing like you're Dick Van Dyke

407
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: from back in the day, whatever the hell you want

408
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: to do. But if you're down in those types of numbers,

409
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what the team's doing. You need to be

410
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: putting up herculean numbers. And just because it's May, you're

411
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: not gonna be forgiven. But if suddenly, with the weather

412
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 3: heating up, his bat does too, Yeah, he can lollygag

413
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: all he wants. Nobody's gonna care because they're laughing because

414
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 3: they're going around, you know, like a merry go round

415
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: around the base paths. But for where it stands right now,

416
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: and Alonzo's errors ain't helping things, cause what are you

417
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: looking for? All the negativity when you lose a couple

418
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: of games, particularly did the dreaded Yankees, because that's all

419
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 3: anybody who's looking right. The Knicks haven't played since Friday.

420
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that game. You probably has a play again Wednesday.

421
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: That's too long, man. We need them to play tonight.

422
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: We need the Knicks to play tonight.

423
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: But but how much attention's being paid to him if

424
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: it's a Knicks night?

425
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: None? Yeah? Yeah, even look even even Sunday night. Look here,

426
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: here's a game. It's a Sunday. It wasn't that big

427
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: a deal. But two nights, they are all come telling

428
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: you the one thing you could suck. Okay, And I

429
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: don't think one SODA's gonna continue to suck. He's gonna

430
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: hit eventually, he's too good a player not to. But

431
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: if he sucks, he sucks. Okay, I mean, what are

432
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: you gonna do? The guys the most dangerous hitter in

433
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: baseball for seven years be typical Mets luck. If they

434
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: get him now, he sucks. But you gotta hustle. You can't.

435
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: You can't not do it because nothing's gonna make your

436
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: life miserable more than if the fans turn on you

437
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: if you're not hustled, because that's gonna be getting booed

438
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: all the time. And you can tell that Soda is

439
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: one of those players that I care about what the

440
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: fans say. I care about having a relationship with them. Right,

441
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: what did he do and the Yankee fans boot him

442
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: on Friday is first at bat? He tipped his cap

443
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: to the crowd. Right, he had a lot of fun

444
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: with them. He hears what said up about him. He's

445
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: someone he's got rabbit ears. He understands that, Hey, when

446
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: people are saying stuff about me, I want it to

447
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: be positive. Doesn't like getting booed. Well guess what, man,

448
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I mean the what you can do

449
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but not hustling isn't one of them.

450
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: Many things you can get in a fight with your teammate. Right,

451
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: remember the Jeff McNeil h Francisco Lindor thing about, oh

452
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: we saw a rat in the dugout, what are you

453
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: talking about? Well that turned out to my fight.

454
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: But you can then they showed the guy off in

455
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: the corner who is giving signs to the opposite.

456
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was an actual rat. Got a hustle got,

457
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: you got, you got. I mean, that's that's one thing

458
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: that it doesn't need to be something where Mendoza, you know,

459
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: throws stuff everywhere, but it's got to be dude, you

460
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: have to hustle. Man. You don't understand. That's what I

461
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: would say, is I would say, you don't understand what

462
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: your life can be like. If you're not hustling. The

463
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: fans will turn against you, and you don't want that

464
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: to happen, and that your teammates will turn against you

465
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: because you're not hustling. And I get that. It's different

466
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: for Soto this year, and we talked about this when

467
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: it happened. My one concern for him was he's been

468
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: a great player, right, but he's been a great player

469
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: when he's not had to worry about a lot of responsibility.

470
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: But now he's mister seven hundred and sixty five million dollars,

471
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: things are different for him. If he doesn't hit, it's

472
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: a big front page headline. If he doesn't hustle, it's

473
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: a big headline everywhere on the internet and non social media.

474
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: How is he going to deal with the fact that

475
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: now I'm not just Jan Soto great player, I'm Juan

476
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: Soto biggest or one of the two biggest contracts in

477
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball history, Like, how do I deal with

478
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: that now that I'm front and center? And so far

479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: he's not been dealing with that. Great doesn't mean you can't.

480
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's a little bit of an attitude adjustment.

481
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: But I told you the one big concern about him

482
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: was that how does he deal with the fact that

483
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: now things are incredibly different for him? He is in

484
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: a more rarefied air than any other player in baseball

485
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: not named Shoe Heyo Tani. How do you deal with it?

486
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: And so far that's not been a passing grade for him.

487
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: So my one concern is starting to come true. The

488
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: silver lining Mets are a half game out of first place.

489
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: We've been in first place. We fall out tonight, doesn't matter,

490
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: it's May. They're ten games over five hundred. Everything is fine,

491
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: and the best record in baseball until a couple of

492
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: nights ago. That's the one thing that okay, So clearly

493
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: it's not tearing the team apart. But for Sodo, man,

494
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: that's the concern right there. Deal with the fact that

495
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: you were a seven or sixty five million dollar player

496
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: and understand that not hustling is something that can't happen.

497
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 3: Well, I gotta say, first off, I want to give

498
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: you great credit for subtly getting in the John Cena

499
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 3: attitude adjustment move.

500
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: So good for you. Two other things related to want

501
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: soda here.

502
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: Number one go back to the booth joking Cohen he

503
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: knew he was supposed to be on second pause. But

504
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: it's a larger pattern with Sodo. He's not running hard

505
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: all the time, and this is something he really needs

506
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: to clean up.

507
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: End quote.

508
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: Second thing is the fact that dude to shirking responsibilities

509
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: in ducking New York media. You can lollygag a little

510
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: bit running from first to second, maybe getting out of

511
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: the box because people are understand how he thought he

512
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 3: got it uh and he got got uh.

513
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna.

514
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: Constantly maybe make mistakes, have a subpar day at the

515
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: office and then not show up for any of the

516
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 3: media sessions or tell reporters, hey, I'll talk after the

517
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: game and then not show up, that ain't gonna fly

518
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: very long.

519
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: But it will if.

520
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: Well, if he hits. If he hits, it doesn't matter.

521
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: All of this stuff. All of this stuff doesn't matter,

522
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: right the media all. It doesn't matter. If he hits all,

523
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: that'll go away. But the one that it won't go

524
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: away is not hustling. You get tag with that and

525
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: you become that guy. That's it. He's been crushes you,

526
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: that crushes you.

527
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you hit, if you hit well enough,

528
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: you can get by it. I mean, everybody loves Manny Machado.

529
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: Now not everybody. Well talking Dodger, I can't stand the guy.

530
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: You hate everybody unless they're gonna be a future Dodger

531
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: or Laker. True, if you've used.

532
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 3: Them up and you've spit them out, say like Jason

533
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: when he loves loves loves all the Jets quarterbacks that

534
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 3: they draft and and and throws them away the moment

535
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 3: it's announced they've been released or tre.

536
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: Moving on now, I mean, like I get done. That's

537
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: the way we're gone. I moved on. Yeah, Hey, I

538
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: couldn't stand now. I love you. Hey, this is awesomere

539
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: my god, Hey, I believe it. But but there's again

540
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: not hustling in New Sir, In New York, you can't

541
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: not hustle. Right, there was a story who was Brian

542
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: Cashman actually had that going on with a with a

543
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: play oh, when they were they were pursuing Machado, right

544
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: when Machada is gonna be a free agent, and and

545
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: Brian I think it was Brian Cash and maybe I

546
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: may be wrong, but story came out with the Yankees

547
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: where they had a meeting with him and they said, listen,

548
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: you have to hustle. You can't not hustle in New York, right,

549
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: you can't do it. You can't. You can get and

550
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: like I said, you'll get away with a lot of things.

551
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: No one's gonna care about blowing off the press, especially

552
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: if you're upset that every keeps asking you about Judge

553
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: going into the Yankee series. That's fine, you're a set,

554
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: you're not hitting for the first time ever. Okay, everybody

555
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: will give you some time to figure that out. But

556
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: on the field, if you do not hustle, that is

557
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: going to be the worst thing you can do. Trust me,

558
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: trust me on I know it. Trust me. If he

559
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: does that, that's gonna that's gonna absolutely torpedo his season.

560
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: So hopefully it disc gets taken care of. I can uh.

561
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: I've got a million White Sox quotes from the from

562
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 3: the years of players. My one of my favorites that

563
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: relates directly to this Julio Cruz, second baseman right Seattle

564
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: and with the White Sox h At one point he

565
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: was really struggling at the plate and like, you know, Julio,

566
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do?

567

650
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: know this quick story from Major League I love this story,

651
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, because now I love that Major League Baseball

652
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: is okay with using the minor leagues to experiment with

653
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: with potential umpiring changes. And uh, starting tomorrow, major League

654
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: Baseball is gonna experiment with a technology that's going to

655
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: be able to challenge checked swing calls. They're gonna start

656
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: this single a and they're gonna use this Hawkeye system.

657
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: So Jeremy Renner is in charge. Where a check swing

658
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: call can be challenged by either team, either hitting or

659
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: in the field. The decision's gonna be made based on

660
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: whether the bat heead is ahead of the knob by

661
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: more than forty five degrees. Shorter forty five degrees is

662
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: called a no swing. So there's gonna be math Mike.

663
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna be like pro tractors and stuff to figure

664
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: this stuff out. I love this story.

665
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: I love this laying the grid on, and I can't

666
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: wait to see how they they try to explain it

667
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: to you.

668
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: Well, as this.

669
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: Goes on, here you go, you can see the angle

670
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: of the bat right here and where the barrel is relative,

671
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 3: and it'll be like a four minute explanation.

672
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Oh your chet swing. You'll see the angle right here.

673
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: It looks like it could be. This may be forty two,

674
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: forty three degrees at most. I'll tell you it's got

675
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: that forty seven degree. It might be forty eight degrees.

676
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: This could wind up being a swing. But this would

677
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: it get implemented as a coaches a slade manager's challenge? Well,

678
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: team's going to be allowed to make a challenge until

679
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: it has one unsuccessful challenge. So that's what it is.

680
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: So if you keep winning, you keep rolling the dice

681
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: man check swaying. Hey it didn't go around. Oh that's great.

682
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I love that.

683

687
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 4: So if you lose the challenge, you get a bow

688

Speaker 1: DJ. Coming up next, we get back into the biggest

703
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: basketball story the last forty eight hours, where one superstar

00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: has sent a message to the rest of their league.

705

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My Best

710
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, and something a little different on

711
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: the Caitlin Clark Angel Reese play from this weekend. We'll

712
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: dive deep into the aspect of it. We have the

713
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: new investigation that's now going on over something that allegedly

714
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: was said with racial undertones to it to Angel Reese

715
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: on the sideliner during the game on Saturday, and we

716
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: can get into the hole back and forth about what

717
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: the foul was and how it plays out. But thing

718
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: to really see that I took away from this right

719
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: one thing completely out of the realm of the rivalry

720
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: between Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese, and how it's ridiculous

721
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: that Caitlyn Clark gets called for a flagrant foul when

722
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: she would have never gotten that call last year and

723
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have gotten it this year. And it was

724
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: ridiculous that they upgraded to a flavor, which tells you

725
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: what she's gonna fight through. But just seeing her make

726
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: that play on Angel Reese very matter of factly, I'm

727
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: gonna show you how strong I am and I don't

728
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: need to make this play where I'm helping a teammate

729
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: because you pushed her in the back for a rebound.

730
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: You know the previous play, I'm gonna I'm gonna make

731
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: a play where I'm gonna hold your arms down and

732
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: stop you from getting a layup. Right now, Angel Reese

733
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: has the size on Caitlyn Clark. But we know Caitlyn

734
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: Clark's been working out in the offseason. You saw, you

735
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: know that big video of her back in or big

736
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: shot of her back in Iowa, and she's got her

737
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 1: hands in fist and you see your guns like wea.

738
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is getting jack. She's working out. Part of

739
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: what happened on Saturday with this was this is Caitlin

740
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: Clark doing what she did to Angel Reese. Here's a

741
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: nationally televised game against her biggest quote rival, which, okay, fine,

742
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: she is showing everyone this year ain't last year. Okay,

743
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send a message rest of the w ain't

744
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: gonna be like last year. I am stronger and I'm

745
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: gonna fight back when you do something to me or

746
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: my team. I'm not gonna sit back and wonder how

747
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: I should react, because I'm I'm the golden Goose of

748
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: the league, and I wonder. I don't want to say

749
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: things or have anything I say or do be presented

750
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: in a way that that makes me look bad, like

751
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: she's trying to figure out how to be an absolute

752
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: superstar in the face of being made one so quickly.

753
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: But I want you to I learned a lot, and

754
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: I spent some time. I didn't play a lot of

755
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: basketball in the office. I worked out a lot. I

756
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: got ready. But last year ain't this year. I am stronger,

757
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: I am fighting back. I'm gonna show you Game one

758
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: on national TV that this is what it's gonna be.

759
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: I just want a physical confrontation with a player you

760
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: would think I'd not be able to win a physical

761
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: confrontation with with someone who gets the basketball, is a big,

762
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: physical rebounder, and I'm gonna show you that last year

763
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: is not this year. You guys got to get out

764
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: of my way. I think there was a good portion

765
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: of that with Caitlin Clark making that play on Angel

766
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: Reese the way she did. She could have just grabbed

767
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: her arm and kind of pulled a little bit and

768
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: stopped her from getting a layup, but she made sure.

769
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: I am putting my arms over you. Yes, to stick

770
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: up for a teammate, but also to show you how

771
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: strong I am that you think you're gonna get away

772
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: with last year and embodying me and hitting me. That

773
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen this year. You are not gonna

774
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: flagor and foul me and get away with it. You

775
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: are not going to physically intimidate me. I am fighting

776
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: back as last year, ain't this year?

777
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean even look, she's never been a shrinking violet, right,

778
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 3: She's been more than okay with mixing it up, chirping

779
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 3: and the physicality going back to her college days.

780
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean that is nothing new.

781
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: What is is, to your point, a little bit of

782
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: the extra physicality to it and the strength odd display here.

783
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: She could have waited for Angel Reese to start going

784
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: up to the basket and come swatting down across her

785
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: head neck.

786
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: She didn't, right, it.

787
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: Was challenging the basketball there Now from the reverse angle

788
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 3: that came out right, now we get all the Zapruva

789
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: film and here's another. Yeah, she gives her an extra

790
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: little shove to help her on her way.

791
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: Does it again?

792
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: Does it rise to the level of flagrant in the end,

793
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter. Everybody talks about it. The other stuff

794
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 3: that flows out of it's unfortunate, but for Caitlin Clark. Look,

795
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: she also made her point with Dewanna Barner making sure

796
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: she got her points and giving her all the flowers

797
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 3: to become the what third all time score, talking about

798
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: Aliah Boston and looking out for her, looking out for

799
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 3: Howard all the way through, you know, looking after the teammates,

800
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: but showing that you know strength. It's not everybody's got

801
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: to look after me. I'll be more more than capable

802
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 3: of holding my own and being part of this. We've

803
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 3: rebuilt this team and you're you're not gonna get away

804
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: with what you did last year. You could do super

805
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: cuts last year of the extra curriculars of her going

806
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 3: to the basket, taking an extra hit. Even in Saturday's game,

807
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: there were a couple of Drive Buys players that just

808
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 3: decided I'm gonna come over and I'm just gonna hit you.

809
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, sure, so she's she's certainly attuned to it.

810
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 3: And for the league, you know they're monitoring, but right

811
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: now the hype is good. All the extra attention to

812
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 3: the w NBA in year two for an opening weekend

813
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: was all you wanted.

814
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: And then deciding, hey, I'm gonna.

815
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: Do the ultimate and the flipping you off by going

816
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 3: back into a game that's thirty points, decided.

817
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: To get my triple double. Yeah.

818
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 3: Uh people calling for an investigation of that, by the way,

819
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 3: But all of that to say, you know, it's the

820
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: dusty road slamm this sucker down to her.

821
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, if if this was if this was a

822
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: different player, I don't think she could she I don't

823
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,959
Speaker 1: think she fouls that way. If this was not Angel Reese,

824
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: was a different player who was coming that she didn't

825
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: have a past with, or someone that even if they

826
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: even if they physically, you know, push their teammate in

827
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: the back, I think it would have been a little

828
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: bit differently. It would have been something where she stops

829
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: the play. But it's Angel Reese, and I can send

830
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: a message right here, and I can do that.

831
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: Like all I think that was whoever was if you

832
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: do that to a teammate, I think you were getting that.

833
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: Uh maybe, But she doesn't want to go too over

834
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: the top, but I this is the way to send

835
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: the message. This was the way. I don't think she

836
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: sends the message with somebody else. But she still want

837
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: to know how.

838
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: The official doesn't call the push in the back though

839
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: you're to the stantch it, how do you not see that?

840
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know right, well, how do you upgrade that

841
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: foul to a flagrant fowl? Which is ridiculous? Right le mean?

842
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Come on, angel Rees flopped and fell and then got mad.

843
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's a flagrant foult. Come on. Uh. We'll lot

844
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: more on this story coming up next hour, but straight ahead,

845
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: the biggest story
