Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Wednesday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dannet's Dan Patrick Show. We chopped up the NFL
Speaker 1: action last night with the Titans roughing up the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: Dan Orlovsky joined us on loan from the Mother's Ship
Speaker 1: says he's still on board the bandwagon for Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: We'll have a poll question. We got more stats of
Speaker 1: the day coming up. Your phone calls are always welcome.
Speaker 1: Harold Reynolds from MLB Network will join us. We'll decipher
Speaker 1: what's gone on so far with the Rays and the
Speaker 1: Astros and the Rays on the brink the precipice, as
Speaker 1: we would like to say, of going to a World
Speaker 1: Series and maybe winning a World Series this time around.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers were used to seeing the Dodgers in the
Speaker 1: postseason going far in the postseason, but right now down
Speaker 1: two games to none and not sure when they're going
Speaker 1: to get Clayton Kershaw back. So we'll talk to Harold,
Speaker 1: and in an hour from now we'll talk to the
Speaker 1: head coach of the world champion LA Lakers, Frank Vogel.
Speaker 1: We'll join us as well. Eight seven seven three d
Speaker 1: P Show email address Dpadan Patrick don come Twitter handle
Speaker 1: at DP shows say good morning, Good morning to peacock
Speaker 1: carrying this program all three hours. It's free download the
Speaker 1: app and our radio affiliates numbering three hundred and seventy six,
Speaker 1: including the Great City of Juneau, Alaska. Mclovin. The poll
Speaker 1: question for the first hour and is it going to
Speaker 1: bleed over into the second hand? I think it should
Speaker 1: because it's an interesting debate. It was Paul's idea, who
Speaker 1: had the worst day yesterday? And your choices were Dave Roberts,
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, Jose al Twove, Josh Norman lost with the Bills,
Speaker 1: Florida coach Dan Mullen, or Josh Norman who got stiffed arm.
Speaker 1: Jose al Tuove is actually winning, maybe because you were
Speaker 1: just talking about him. But then Dave Roberts, nobody really
Speaker 1: has Josh Allen is the worst day? No, I mean
Speaker 1: they lost the game. Give credit to the Titans. I
Speaker 1: mean give a lot of credit to the Titans to
Speaker 1: somehow pull that together and not is practice overrated? Maybe
Speaker 1: Iverson was right practice they haven't been able to get
Speaker 1: together at all for two weeks basically, and they out
Speaker 1: there and a man handle a very good Buffalo team.
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen will be back. I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: good player, that's a good team, and you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna have this. He's a young quarterback. And I thought
Speaker 1: what you saw with the Titans is a similar defense
Speaker 1: to what Bill Belichick was putting into play against Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs and Mike Rabel, a
Speaker 1: disciple of Bill Belichick. It felt like was trying to
Speaker 1: do the same thing, basically saying to Josh Allen, We're
Speaker 1: going to give you those three four five yarders, but
Speaker 1: you're not going to get anything big where you can
Speaker 1: load up and find stuff on Dick's Uh, you're gonna
Speaker 1: stay with that pole question? Yeah, I stay with it
Speaker 1: for now. A couple other options you didn't like my
Speaker 1: who who would you want to get a beer with?
Speaker 1: Pole question? Well it kind of felt negative. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's I mean, if you said, do I
Speaker 1: want to get a beer with Andy Dalton, Nick Folest
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins, it's like the boring QB club And
Speaker 1: that's not a negative for a QB. I might just
Speaker 1: have a beer by myself. You haven't really talked much
Speaker 1: about Leveon Bell pole question. Would you want Levion Bell
Speaker 1: on your team yet? How much does he cost me?
Speaker 1: Say it's closer to the minimum, like inexpensive deal. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much he cost you. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: let's say the Bears pick him up or Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh picks him up. How much does it cost? That's
Speaker 1: what I would want to know. I would have to
Speaker 1: think it be near the minimum. There's no way anyone's
Speaker 1: gonna pay for him mid season. Well, how much do
Speaker 1: the Jets still owe him? Because I think he made
Speaker 1: like twenty seven million dollars playing seventeen games, thirteen games,
Speaker 1: something like that. I still think there's a place for
Speaker 1: him because he's a great pass receiver out of the
Speaker 1: backfield if you need that element, and as Dan Orlovsky
Speaker 1: pointed out, this would be great for Tom Brady to
Speaker 1: have that because Leonard Fournette is, you know, a checkdown
Speaker 1: running back as far as getting passes thrown to him.
Speaker 1: Leveon Bell is a true wide receiver at running back.
Speaker 1: He's got those skills. I don't know if he's in
Speaker 1: every down back an I don't want to pay a
Speaker 1: running back that second contract. But if somebody else is
Speaker 1: paying him that contract and I think he wants to
Speaker 1: play and prove himself, yeah, I would bring in Levyon Bell. Yeah, Polly,
Speaker 1: this has to be one of the dumbest free agent
Speaker 1: signings of all time. The Jets in twenty nineteen, they're
Speaker 1: starting to season with a rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. So
Speaker 1: you got that you're on the cheap, and you sign
Speaker 1: a running back for a lot of money who's got
Speaker 1: a lot of mileage and is turning twenty seven years old.
Speaker 1: That's counterintuitive of the luxury of having a rookie deal quarterback.
Speaker 1: You don't spend money on that. You it's not Levan Ball.
Speaker 1: Levance felt fault. The Jets made a terrible decision. Well,
Speaker 1: you should have stopped yourself when you said, you know,
Speaker 1: the Jets made a dumb move in free agency, and
Speaker 1: then you could have just stopped there. Even if you say,
Speaker 1: like sae Quon Barkley wasn't the exact right pick for
Speaker 1: the Giants. At least they got him on a rookie
Speaker 1: contract and he's young. Bell's the opposite. Yes, this is
Speaker 1: the other hottest take Paul has ever had in history.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it was so dumb at the time.
Speaker 1: How do they not realize that if a four dopes,
Speaker 1: five dopes in a room can do it, you're not
Speaker 1: dope with the four dopes in you in the room
Speaker 1: knew it was a bad signing at the time. It's
Speaker 1: not Levan, not his fault. Why don't don't they know
Speaker 1: they get paid to do it? Yeah? McLeman. Quick question
Speaker 1: on Bell, is there a concern about You're not we
Speaker 1: don't know him at all, but that he's sort of disgruntled,
Speaker 1: Like are you worried about bringing He was ripping the jets,
Speaker 1: which makes sense, but you do well, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bring in an older leader type who might be ati team. Well,
Speaker 1: he's not a leader. First of all. I would want
Speaker 1: a guy to come in and he wants to prove himself.
Speaker 1: And if you bring him in where he's got a
Speaker 1: strong coach or coach he respects. First of all, you
Speaker 1: had a coach who didn't want him. You imagine, you know, kay,
Speaker 1: can you play me? You're paying me, why don't you
Speaker 1: play me? And then that coach Adam Gaze, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't want to play him. So if you go to
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Bruce arians Um, Naggy and Chicago, like, he
Speaker 1: just has to respect your decisions there. And if you're
Speaker 1: playing for the Jets, are you really going to respect
Speaker 1: that coach and his decisions? The answer is probably not,
Speaker 1: even though he's your coach. You're like, what have you
Speaker 1: done to distinguish yourself? But I would take a chance
Speaker 1: on Levion Bell if he didn't cost me a lot
Speaker 1: of money. That's the key, because he's not worth that,
Speaker 1: that's for sure, all right. Eight seven seven three D
Speaker 1: P show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Josie L two Bay's got the yips, and
Speaker 1: as a professor of psychology, just send an email last hour.
Speaker 1: Imagine if there were fans in the stands, like he
Speaker 1: doesn't even have the home field advantage, if he does
Speaker 1: make a mistake, but they're down three games to none,
Speaker 1: they got bigger issues than this. But the yips will
Speaker 1: stay with you. And you know, Harold Reynolds is a
Speaker 1: former Gold Glove second baseman and we'll talk to him
Speaker 1: about this. Chuck Noblock couldn't throw the ball from second
Speaker 1: base to first base Steve Sachs couldn't do it. Mackie
Speaker 1: Sassler couldn't throw the ball from home plate to the
Speaker 1: pitcher's man. Steve Blast remember him, the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher
Speaker 1: had a hard time throwing the ball to the catcher.
Speaker 1: You see this with golfers. Kevin Nah, Kevin Nah, we'd
Speaker 1: get the ball or you know, his backswing and he couldn't.
Speaker 1: He couldn't you know, hit, you know, fire the trigger
Speaker 1: to get it back to the ball. Charles Barkley has that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Sergio Garcia used to grip regrip, grip, regrip, grip, regrip,
Speaker 1: and it got to the point where, you know, it
Speaker 1: was a problem, It was embarrassing. He has since overcome that.
Speaker 1: But you find these athletes the mind takes over and
Speaker 1: all you want it to do is the body is
Speaker 1: what takes over. The body is ready for these situations
Speaker 1: and when the mind gets in and messes things up
Speaker 1: sometimes for these guys. Yeah, it's so strange too that
Speaker 1: it's easier to throw the ball from third and short
Speaker 1: than it is second. There's just something about I don't
Speaker 1: know the process of the mechanics or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: but and you have to throw the ball hard from there,
Speaker 1: you know, to get out the get the runner out.
Speaker 1: It's just such a weird mind thing that it's just
Speaker 1: easier from those two spots. But you throw the same
Speaker 1: way from shortstop and third you gotta throw it's got
Speaker 1: to be a solid, strong throw. Yeah, second base it's
Speaker 1: like I'll just guide it over or flip it to you.
Speaker 1: Even pictures have had how many times you watch a
Speaker 1: picture it's a comebacker and he goes you throw it
Speaker 1: the dirt, throw it over your head. Yeah, Pa, I
Speaker 1: think it's about fifteen seventeen years ago. Rick Ankiel was
Speaker 1: a young star pitcher for the Cardinals. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was good and then he just couldn't hit the side
Speaker 1: of the barn. His career was gonna be over. So
Speaker 1: they switched him to the outfield and it actually had
Speaker 1: a nice career, but he had to switch positions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was a great athlete, great hitter, and then you know,
Speaker 1: I think he had a few other things going on
Speaker 1: with when he got on the mound. But yeah, that
Speaker 1: was sad to see. And you know, jose L Tube
Speaker 1: is the poster child for cheating with the Astros. He
Speaker 1: was once at you know, the feel good story for
Speaker 1: this team, and I think it started to seep in
Speaker 1: and maybe by proxy that all of a sudden he
Speaker 1: realizes all this good will I built up, it's gone.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this will keep him out of
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, because I think the trajectory was
Speaker 1: he was or is going to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it just feels like after a while,
Speaker 1: you know, you can always say, yeah, don't bother me.
Speaker 1: Now it's doesn't bother me. It bothers everybody when you
Speaker 1: get criticized like Lebron James, should it bother him? Hey,
Speaker 1: you're not. Michael Jordan, it does bother him. That's where
Speaker 1: he says, hey, bring it on, Hey, I want my respect.
Speaker 1: You're one of the most popular, well known athletes on
Speaker 1: the planet. Your place in history firmly secure. Is one
Speaker 1: of the top five players of all time. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to have the greatest basketball resume in history.
Speaker 1: But he still is asking for something. Kevin Durant still
Speaker 1: asking for something. Tom Brady is still asking for something.
Speaker 1: That's just the nature of who you are. And the
Speaker 1: criticism eventually gets to these people. It's really when somebody
Speaker 1: says it doesn't bother me, and they truly mean that
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother them, because deep down, I don't know
Speaker 1: how it can't. I've mentioned before I'm not on social media,
Speaker 1: and I've said nine people can say nice things. One
Speaker 1: person can say something that's pretty rough, that one thing
Speaker 1: stays with you, not the nine things that are positive,
Speaker 1: where somebody says, hey, that was great, really enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: Somebody could say whatever it might be, and I don't
Speaker 1: know how you overcome it. I mean, like, I can
Speaker 1: remember a comment that somebody said when Keith Oberman left
Speaker 1: Sports Center and somebody sent an email and said and
Speaker 1: it was it was to some other. It might have
Speaker 1: been a website like Patrick will be nothing without Oberman,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why would you say that? And so
Speaker 1: in my mind I kept thinking that all the time,
Speaker 1: like I want to I got to prove for some reason,
Speaker 1: I had to prove I can be successful without Keith Oberman.
Speaker 1: But you know, those things do get to you. And
Speaker 1: imagine if you're a pitcher or a hitter, you're a
Speaker 1: basketball player, your coach, GM, it'll get to you. Somebody
Speaker 1: reads those comments. You may not, you may say you don't,
Speaker 1: but somebody's reading it. Yeah, but some people shut down
Speaker 1: with criticism, and some people use it as fuel, like
Speaker 1: you used as fuel. I'm sure. When Oberman left, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't like that. He left. One that stood out
Speaker 1: to me with you. I think it was Rick Riley
Speaker 1: said you were making a terrible decision leaving ESPN, And
Speaker 1: I know the first few years you chomped on that
Speaker 1: one pretty good. I haven't let it go yet, Paulie, No,
Speaker 1: but I think it worked too our and your advantage
Speaker 1: to say like, okay, Rick, check this out, and that's
Speaker 1: where you went. Well, I didn't know why it was
Speaker 1: coming from Rick Crowley. Use you guys were friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I had great respect for Rick Riley, helped him
Speaker 1: when he was going to ESPN, and I in turn
Speaker 1: went to Sports Illustrating and did some you know, worked
Speaker 1: for them and had a column. Was not replacing Rick Riley.
Speaker 1: People tried to make it as there was a trade
Speaker 1: between Sports Illustrated and ESPN, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he says me leaving Sports Center was like Shelley Long
Speaker 1: leaving the show Cheers. I think he called it the
Speaker 1: worst move in sports broadcasting history, or one of the
Speaker 1: top five worst moves in sports broadcasting history. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh okay, Roles, all right, game on. And
Speaker 1: I didn't want to fight with Rick Riley, but Rick
Speaker 1: Riley brought this on, and to this day, whenever we
Speaker 1: accomplished something, I always in my back of my mind, go,
Speaker 1: Nephew Riley, Glad you brought it up. PAULI, there you go,
Speaker 1: and I'll motivate me. I want to crush somebody right now.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that final show that we do, that'll be
Speaker 1: a there's so many stories that we referred to lightly
Speaker 1: touch on and then people go away a minute. Now,
Speaker 1: who are you talking about when you say fascinating and irrelevant?
Speaker 1: We'll get to that one of these days. One of
Speaker 1: these days will tell you all about that. All right. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see and get some phone calls in here.
Speaker 1: Gibbs in Virginia. He's my official Atlanta Braves reporter. Hey Gibbs,
Speaker 1: what's up, dan Te? How you doing that good? How
Speaker 1: are you feeling? I don't want I don't want Polly
Speaker 1: anywhere near my Sam Howe man, leave him alone. Let's
Speaker 1: let's let's get him to New York. Polly back off.
Speaker 1: Don't want any jinxes on your end. Yes. Wait, I
Speaker 1: saw a mock draft with Sam Howell number three over
Speaker 1: all the other day. I don't know, Paully's all over
Speaker 1: Sam how the North Carolina corder Crow, Sam Holli's my
Speaker 1: best of the weekend. I just said it's don't lump
Speaker 1: him in with yourbhisky. I agree. I agree. Tr Whisky
Speaker 1: is a great guy. Man. I was actually in school
Speaker 1: at the same time with him. Hell of a guy.
Speaker 1: But I understand what he's done to your beer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want my quarterback to be a jerk if he's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. If you said my quarterback man
Speaker 1: kind of an ass, but man, he's All of Famer,
Speaker 1: or hey, my quarterback's not that good, but he's a
Speaker 1: really nice guy. I'm not trying to marry, you know,
Speaker 1: get my daughter to marry him. What else? Give me
Speaker 1: some brave stuff here, Gibbs, Well, I got some brave stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy we got up too. Oh, but
Speaker 1: I have a cringe worthy reporter moment for you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember way back when I told
Speaker 1: you that you actually got me into law school. Got
Speaker 1: me into business school because I was a Dan Patrick caller,
Speaker 1: which got me a producer job at a local radio
Speaker 1: station here, and they sent me on my first They
Speaker 1: sent me on my first solo reporting job down to
Speaker 1: ACC Country in Charlotte for the ATC tip off. And
Speaker 1: I was in a small room with Florida State coach
Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys that I grew up with.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm talking, you know, West Durham and Joe
Speaker 1: Ovius and guys that I grew up listening to. And
Speaker 1: I leaned over and asked, Leonard Hamilton, you know, being
Speaker 1: from North Carolina, how hard is it to get guys there.
Speaker 1: I see that you've really struggled the last four years
Speaker 1: getting guys from North Carolina down to Florida State. And
Speaker 1: the room went silent, and Joe Ovius said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: better luck next time. Thank you, Gibs. There's a big
Speaker 1: wind up, my Gibbs to get to that. Glad I
Speaker 1: got into the law business. Yeah, as mclovin says, he's
Speaker 1: like real counsel, not exactly, Atticus Finch is your that's
Speaker 1: that's that's one of your great lines. Then let me
Speaker 1: get one more phone call in there, Alan Atlanta positive Al,
Speaker 1: I call him Morale. Yeah, I like that. I like that, Danny.
Speaker 1: Thanks all right, I got the answer to the whole
Speaker 1: question and a comment about somebody else who's channeling the positivity. Okay,
Speaker 1: now the worst day has got to be the recipient
Speaker 1: of the stiff arm. He's sitting in the tape room
Speaker 1: right now with the coach rewinding that and playing it
Speaker 1: back over and over again, telling all the rookies that
Speaker 1: want his position, this is what you don't want to do, Josh.
Speaker 1: Josh Norman went after you can't go and thanks for
Speaker 1: the phone call there. You can't go after that running
Speaker 1: back going up high. But I still maintain Josh Norman
Speaker 1: did get you know, the running back out of bounds.
Speaker 1: It's a he accomplished his He did his job perfectly
Speaker 1: right just about. He got him out of bounds. It
Speaker 1: wasn't pretty, but he did his job. His dead carcass
Speaker 1: was in the way of him proceeding, so that's okay,
Speaker 1: put your body in front of he get him out
Speaker 1: of bound. Did get him out of bounds, even though
Speaker 1: got humbled. Yes, it's just like Sean Bradley being on
Speaker 1: posters getting dunked on, but you always respect that he
Speaker 1: went for the ball. Oh I did, But he didn't
Speaker 1: stop them. But Josh Norman did his job. His job
Speaker 1: is to get the runner out of bounds. Yes, Hunt,
Speaker 1: can you humiliatingly set the edge? Which is both of
Speaker 1: those tasks? It was Derrick Henry went out of bounds.
Speaker 1: He didn't get any extra yards, So I applaud Josh.
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry didn't do his job. He didn't get any
Speaker 1: extra yards there, Josh Norman, we're the only ones criticizing
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry today for that run. It was a pretty
Speaker 1: amazing moment. It's a great stiff arm, but he only
Speaker 1: got about three more feet. Yeah yard and yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: call for Josh Norman. Tell tell the bills that we're
Speaker 1: saying positive things about great work kid. Yeah, hey, Josh
Speaker 1: just wanted to say, great job. You got that guy
Speaker 1: out of bounds. Man, what hey go kid? All right,
Speaker 1: come on up, well smack on the butt, Yeah all right.
Speaker 1: Harold Ynlands will join us, coming up. How much trouble
Speaker 1: are the Dodgers in right now? And what would he
Speaker 1: say to Josel Tuve as a former second baseman. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to hr. He'll join us coming up. More phone
Speaker 1: calls and then at the top of the hour, Frank
Speaker 1: Vogel taking a victory lap and rightfully so as the
Speaker 1: head coach of the LA Lakers. Back after this and

Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show email address DP at
Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com. We'll check in. Harold Reynolds will
Speaker 1: join us on loan from Major League Baseball Network as
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are in a little bit of trouble. Here's
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts after last night's loss on the availability of
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. Right now, we'll see how he feels tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Right now, I know that Julio is going to start,
Speaker 1: and you know, if claimed Cantis feel better, then we'll
Speaker 1: see springing Harold Reynolds, MLB Network analysts, former Gold Glove winner.
Speaker 1: You can see HR on MLB's MLB Tonight, which is
Speaker 1: airing live before and after the Elite Championship Series in
Speaker 1: the World Series games HR, how much trouble are the
Speaker 1: break or the Dodgers in. I still think they got
Speaker 1: a shot. Today's obviously huge. You don't go down three zero,
Speaker 1: but look, I think it's curious and Dustin may today
Speaker 1: and then finish it off with whoever's going to close
Speaker 1: it out. And I watched Kershout throw a bullpen yesterday
Speaker 1: and I would be shocked if he's not thrown Game four.
Speaker 1: So I still think they're in this thing and we're
Speaker 1: looking at a six or seven game series. If they
Speaker 1: lose today, we may be looking at a four game series.
Speaker 1: But that's how that's my take on it. Explain getting
Speaker 1: back spasms, like, how does that happen right before you're
Speaker 1: ready to start. I never really was a guy that
Speaker 1: got those kind of things. I guess I was too skinny.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be how you sleep, it
Speaker 1: could be how you wake up and head to the ballpark,
Speaker 1: a number of things. But clearly it was disappointed to
Speaker 1: see him not in that game. I'm sure he was
Speaker 1: disappointed as well. But you also, yeah, it's like when
Speaker 1: pictures get blisters. I likened it to a guitar player
Speaker 1: wants callouses to be able to play. I would assume
Speaker 1: pictures get callouses on their fingers, therefore you don't get blisters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's talking to outlider who had a ton
Speaker 1: of blisters throughout his career, and it said, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of it. The moisture with the weather engine in
Speaker 1: baseball and being an outdoor arena facilities, it depends what's hot.
Speaker 1: You might be a little bit more moist That's how
Speaker 1: you end up getting blisters. And you think it wouldn't
Speaker 1: happen because they throw and play cats so much they
Speaker 1: build up that callus. But he said, really, it depends
Speaker 1: on the weather and just the chance of the environment.
Speaker 1: I like in the Atlanta Braves to a better version
Speaker 1: of the San Diego Padres. I think they're just young.
Speaker 1: They probably don't know better. You got a great you know,
Speaker 1: leader m VP and Freddie Freeman. I got an underrated
Speaker 1: pitching staff. You know, they're pitching is better than San Diego's.
Speaker 1: But that hitting those young guys, you know, the less
Speaker 1: they think it feels like, the better they are. They
Speaker 1: just go, yeah, so what you're the Dodgers. We don't care.
Speaker 1: They're just raking up there. How do you explain this
Speaker 1: confidence level with the Braves? They just took off the
Speaker 1: last i'd say week, two weeks now we've been watching them.
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman clearly in the middle of that lineup, but
Speaker 1: they're deep, and I think the biggest thing I see
Speaker 1: with the Braves is that they that's the baseball no
Speaker 1: no last night. Albi's have a couple of airs, but
Speaker 1: they're fundamentally sound and they make you have to beat them.
Speaker 1: And then the young pitching came forward. But I do
Speaker 1: think this that they're gonna miss Duval because he was
Speaker 1: a big part of this great run they've been on.
Speaker 1: So now I know they have Puschet in the middle
Speaker 1: and he's playing center field, but that's not the same.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if this continues to extend it out,
Speaker 1: if that ends up showing itself or not. If the
Speaker 1: Dodgers don't get to the World Series, big disappointment. I mean, bust, Really,
Speaker 1: you went out to get everything in Mookie bets you
Speaker 1: got you know, that was the missing ingredients. So Speaker
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of when Ricky Henderson went today
Speaker 1: so it was that one piece they were missing and
Speaker 1: the other thing that's a little bit of an advantage
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers this year, and the disappointment with Kershot
Speaker 1: not throwing and maybe not being able to get into
Speaker 1: this series was the shortened season allowed Clayton Kershout are
Speaker 1: really come in not taxed for the first time in
Speaker 1: the postseason. So you knew you were going to see
Speaker 1: like a guy mid season form that could really dominate.
Speaker 1: And so that those two things are if they don't
Speaker 1: win this whole thing, the World Series, they'll look back
Speaker 1: at those are the two biggest disappointments. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: feels like Dave Roberts is managing for his job, whether
Speaker 1: we like that, you know what, I kind of feel
Speaker 1: that way too. You can only go so many times
Speaker 1: to the well and not come back with the trophy.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of it's not necessarily Dave's
Speaker 1: fault because this is a cohesive game plan to have.
Speaker 1: Here's how we scripted games out and all that, but
Speaker 1: he has a figurehead and at the end of the
Speaker 1: day they don't win, I could seriously see his job
Speaker 1: being in jeopardy. Yeah, if you don't get to the
Speaker 1: World Series. That just feels like a foregone conclusion. We're
Speaker 1: talking to Harold Reynolds, MLB network analyst and former gold
Speaker 1: Glove second baseman, which leads me to jose L Twove.
Speaker 1: You played the position seems really simple, get a groundball
Speaker 1: and throw it to first base. Why you know? Fortunately
Speaker 1: I never went through the yips. I thought, looking at
Speaker 1: the video yesterday that he might have been injured. The
Speaker 1: more I watched it later as the night went on,
Speaker 1: I think he just has a little bit of the yips.
Speaker 1: And I watched Steve Sachs go through it Chuck Nblock.
Speaker 1: I never did. But Dan, I tell you one thing
Speaker 1: I learned, You'll like this a lot. It's like Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan in a sense, you know, and Michael shot those
Speaker 1: free throws with his eyes closed. There's so much muscle memory.
Speaker 1: And I was in spring training with the Orioles and
Speaker 1: Ozzie Smith. We shared a complex with the Cardinals and
Speaker 1: I got there early one day and I'm watching Ozzie
Speaker 1: take groundballs. And I've known Ozzie since I was thirteen
Speaker 1: years old, but I never had seen this. He's taking
Speaker 1: grounders and he's throwing no look throws. Across the diamond,
Speaker 1: pow hit in the first base and no, look, Pow.
Speaker 1: It's just muscle memory. So remember talking to him after that,
Speaker 1: And after that time, I started doing that with double plays.
Speaker 1: It's just about ten throws a day, just because it's
Speaker 1: just muscle memory. So if I ever got to a
Speaker 1: point where I'm like, ah, you sit there and you
Speaker 1: go back. If I can throw it without looking, I
Speaker 1: know I can throw it when I look. So I
Speaker 1: remember when Chuck Nablock was going through that and I
Speaker 1: got to Yankee Stadium early and I'm down on the field.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Chuck, just no look, throws. You can do it.
Speaker 1: No look. He never grabbed hold of it. But that's
Speaker 1: what I would tell Jose Altuve. Go out on the field,
Speaker 1: take some grounders, and just throw the ball at first
Speaker 1: without looking. If you can do it without looking, you
Speaker 1: can do it when you're looking at the guy. In
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, Steve Sacks playing for the Dodgers. He
Speaker 1: had twenty four errors throwing to first base at the
Speaker 1: All Star Break, and it wasn't like like al tubs
Speaker 1: at least short hopping the first baseman. Sachs was like,
Speaker 1: if you need a souvenir go fifteen rows above first
Speaker 1: base and you're gonna get it. He had it bad. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think Jose can can play through this. I don't know,
Speaker 1: can you, Irold If there were fans was doing this,
Speaker 1: it would be even worse. I mean, it'd be crazy.
Speaker 1: It's all mental. We all know that it is really
Speaker 1: just mental. And you can go down that rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I've had a couple of times
Speaker 1: where that first basement looks you look up and he's
Speaker 1: the only guy standing there. Now, imagine there's no stands,
Speaker 1: you have no reference with fans behind you for depth perception,
Speaker 1: and you're seeing just that one guy stand there, and
Speaker 1: it's like, that's what he's going through. Well, the last
Speaker 1: thing that you guys want to do is think like
Speaker 1: you want to. You think prior to the moment, and
Speaker 1: then when you're in the moment, you don't want to think.
Speaker 1: And Altove gets to the moment and then he's thinking like, now,
Speaker 1: how do I throw this ball over there? And there's
Speaker 1: the one suggestion I did make last night for the Astros.
Speaker 1: There's no need for Jose too. But they played deep
Speaker 1: right field. He's standing out there shaking hands with the
Speaker 1: right fielder. Move him to the dirt so he's not
Speaker 1: thinking you're so far out there. Now the ball's coming
Speaker 1: to you. You know, you have to put something on it,
Speaker 1: and you're thinking about all those things as the ball's
Speaker 1: coming to you and he needs to move back onto
Speaker 1: the dirt. He has enough rains to cover that side
Speaker 1: of the field like we did for two hundred years.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be in deep right. Let him
Speaker 1: catch the ball get rid of it. But he can't
Speaker 1: do that from where he's standing. He's got to gather
Speaker 1: himself and actually make a throw instead of just flipping
Speaker 1: the ball over to the base. So maybe they'll move
Speaker 1: him onto the dirt a little bit more. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've heard this question. After the Braves went
Speaker 1: over the Dodgers that Mark Mlanson, the Braves reliever, had
Speaker 1: this question given to him. I mean, can you take
Speaker 1: a positive out him? Even though he blew most of
Speaker 1: that lead, he's still got too old. I don't really
Speaker 1: understand your question. Can you still take something positive at
Speaker 1: it is? You're still not too old in the series,
Speaker 1: despite you know, blowing a big lead. Can you leave
Speaker 1: this thing feeling you know good that you survived this game.
Speaker 1: I think that's a terrible question. I'm not you're gonna answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you barely hung on now. I know they won the
Speaker 1: game though. That's what you ask a bullpen or reliever
Speaker 1: when you lost the game. Yeah, exactly. I did think
Speaker 1: one mistake the Braids made. They're up eight three and
Speaker 1: Mookie bets is on first. You got one out and
Speaker 1: Seeger's come into the plate and they got Freddy Freeman
Speaker 1: holding him. That's the bottom of the ninth. If Mookie
Speaker 1: wants to steal second, let him go. You bring your
Speaker 1: first base when you turn around, your back up, and
Speaker 1: so they don't. He's holding him and a ball's hit
Speaker 1: by him, and that was a double as Seeger hit,
Speaker 1: I thought they should have been playing back at that time.
Speaker 1: You're playing outs. That opened up the floodgates for the
Speaker 1: rest of that inning. Good to talk to you, Hr,
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing well. Tell the boys MLB tonight.
Speaker 1: We said alone. All right, now, I'll be checking you out.
Speaker 1: You gotta work on that. No eyes closed, no look,
Speaker 1: free throws you got it? Oh, I can do that.
Speaker 1: See your throw I'm talking about the free throws. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can still turn two. I know you can from shortstop,
Speaker 1: not second. From shortstop. I didn't like playing second because
Speaker 1: that guy you had to make that quick turn, you know,
Speaker 1: because he was barreling down at shortstop. You now, though
Speaker 1: the change the rule, you could do all that now,
Speaker 1: soft I live in the seventies. Thank you. Hr All right, buddy,
Speaker 1: than Harold Reynolds MLB network analysts. You can see him
Speaker 1: on MLB Networks MLB tonight and that's airing live before
Speaker 1: and after every League Championship Series in World Series game.
Speaker 1: I'm going off memory here and if it's not accurate,
Speaker 1: then don't blame the messenger. But in nineteen eighty three,
Speaker 1: Steve Sacks, he's hit in his second year of the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: playing second base, and he can't throw the ball to
Speaker 1: first base. And we've had Sacks on, you know, previous
Speaker 1: years talking about this and he's good and tried to
Speaker 1: explain it. And he's coming off Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's killing it. Good looking guy playing for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Second baseman Tommy Lasorda, prior to or during
Speaker 1: a batting practice session that year, takes Steve Sacks around
Speaker 1: the infield and he asked him the following questions. How
Speaker 1: many guys can hit three hundred Steve Sachs says not many.
Speaker 1: How many guys can steal forty bases? Steve Sachs says
Speaker 1: not many. How many guys can throw the ball from
Speaker 1: second base to first base? Before Sacks could answer the question,
Speaker 1: Tommy Lasorda says, millions. Now get your head out of
Speaker 1: your bleep and go out there and throw the ball.
Speaker 1: True story, Tommy Lasorda. Yeah, And the situation, Look, they're
Speaker 1: down two games to none. You're probably not getting Kershall
Speaker 1: to Game four. But Dave Roberts probably finds himself in
Speaker 1: a similar situation as Doc Rivers did in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: You know, it was NBA Finals or bust for Doc,
Speaker 1: and it might be the same for Dave Roberts to
Speaker 1: get to the World Series. But as he said, every
Speaker 1: year it's basically World Series or bust. But this feels different.
Speaker 1: This is World Series or you might lose your job.
Speaker 1: Jeff in Detroit, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 1: What up? Though? Nn I ain't wanted to pass on
Speaker 1: a message to all of those Tennessee fans. You guys
Speaker 1: better be lucky that you picked the right apple off
Speaker 1: of that coaching Belichick tree, because I swear I feel
Speaker 1: like we got to riding apple when you look at
Speaker 1: his But see, the thing that I'm loving is that
Speaker 1: those guys go out there and they lay it on
Speaker 1: the line for Mike. They want to play for Mike.
Speaker 1: You can see it when they're coming back in high
Speaker 1: five and then everything. That's what I want in Detroit.
Speaker 1: I want to love my coach. I want my coach
Speaker 1: to be a leader of men. My next question for
Speaker 1: you is in your professional career, what was the one
Speaker 1: instance that you've seen somebody just catch the yips in
Speaker 1: like the worst time, Like what was the worst case
Speaker 1: of the year that you've ever seen professionally. I think
Speaker 1: Kevin nod Is see a professional golfer who can't just
Speaker 1: bring the club back down to square, you know, would
Speaker 1: probably be and Sergio gripping and regripping. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: all there. It's all bad. I mean, it's all uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: it's all awkward, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
Speaker 1: You know. Josie al Tuve, did he ask for a
Speaker 1: lot of the criticism, Yes, but this is different. You know,
Speaker 1: not being able to throw the ball from second base
Speaker 1: to first base, not being able to throw the ball
Speaker 1: from behind the plate to the pitcher, or a pitcher
Speaker 1: who just can't throw it over the plate. You know,
Speaker 1: Rick Ankio, Steve Last, you know, that ends careers because
Speaker 1: that's all they do, is they pitch. Now, Ankio went
Speaker 1: into the outfield because he was that great of an athlete.
Speaker 1: But Altuve sacks Chuck Nablock, and then you would have
Speaker 1: people behind first base and they would bring their gloves
Speaker 1: or they would have a bull ols eye there when
Speaker 1: Knoblock was playing. Now, you don't have fans, but if
Speaker 1: you had fans right now with what's going on without
Speaker 1: two va and they're down three games to none, man,
Speaker 1: yeah boy, they're fans of no heart, they'd be crushing them.
Speaker 1: And he put himself into this. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: but I think after a while it started to build
Speaker 1: up with all this criticism, and that feel good story
Speaker 1: is not a feel good story any longer. And look,
Speaker 1: there was part of me rooting for the Astros to
Speaker 1: continue to face the Dodgers. The way it looks now,
Speaker 1: say all to the braves and the raves, and nobody
Speaker 1: expected that I expected the Rays to get to the
Speaker 1: World Series, but the Braves so far, that's very impressive,
Speaker 1: very impressive. Yes, Todd, I want them to know if
Speaker 1: SportsCenter anchors ever got the yips, because I thought that missured.
Speaker 1: That was what Jeff's question was a spar as your
Speaker 1: professional career, like getting tongue tied, pronouncing things wrong, misspeaking,
Speaker 1: and just having a really bad show or series of
Speaker 1: shows where they just can't get it in their own way.
Speaker 1: I don't remember ever having that, but I'm sure that
Speaker 1: I probably there's there's a discomfort sometimes when you're reading
Speaker 1: off the prompter that you know I would try to
Speaker 1: look in the middle of the camera, so you'd have
Speaker 1: words up there. You know, I'd have my script up there,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want you to see my head move
Speaker 1: or my eyes move. And you're trying to look at
Speaker 1: the middle of the screen and take in the whole
Speaker 1: paragraph that's up there, and you want it to be
Speaker 1: more conversational. As I'm looking into the camera now, I
Speaker 1: would be reading off prompter, but I never wanted my
Speaker 1: head or eyes to move from side to side. And
Speaker 1: some people do that and you don't even realize you're
Speaker 1: doing it, it's like you're tipping your words, like you're going,
Speaker 1: I'm reading this, and I would focus right in the
Speaker 1: middle of the camera and then try to take in
Speaker 1: the entire paragraph there as if to sort of add
Speaker 1: lib what I'd just written. Yeah, mcglove, what happens? Do
Speaker 1: some guys panic when the prompter goes down? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: out really yips, that's just Panicum yeah, yeah, But I
Speaker 1: think once you get down to your script. So let's
Speaker 1: say prompter goes down and I have my copy, and
Speaker 1: I have to make sure have my copy on the
Speaker 1: right page, and you just want to make sure, and
Speaker 1: sometimes you would look and I would look down sometimes
Speaker 1: just to remind myself that it's there, and then I
Speaker 1: would look back up. There are times when you will
Speaker 1: you look up and there's no prompter copy, and then
Speaker 1: you immediately go down and then you're reading off your
Speaker 1: paper in front of you, and then you look up
Speaker 1: and then prompter's back up, but it's not up in
Speaker 1: the right spot. So now you've got to look back
Speaker 1: down find your spot. And then you hope prompter operator,
Speaker 1: which is a twenty two year old college grad, is
Speaker 1: trying to find the right words there and then usually
Speaker 1: after that, I would just stay on my copy and
Speaker 1: then I would look up occasionally out of respect you,
Speaker 1: to make it seem like I wasn't just reading yes
Speaker 1: time and you're hoping the director is covering it up
Speaker 1: with videos so you're not spending too much time on
Speaker 1: you looking down reading it. Well, no, because they would
Speaker 1: be games. You can't roll the game. I'm I'm doing
Speaker 1: a lead in, so they can't cover for me. It's
Speaker 1: not like they go roll video when anchor screws up. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I think we were at the two thousand and four ALCS.
Speaker 1: It was Yankees red Sox and you were hosting kind
Speaker 1: of co hosting the six o'clock Sports Center. Thine yet
Speaker 1: the White Sox game. Yeah no, No, this was Red
Speaker 1: Sox Yankees as No, but we did it at when
Speaker 1: we were a comiskey, right. That was the next prompt.
Speaker 1: The whole prompter went down. The prompter went down at
Speaker 1: the ALCS and you were co hosting the six o'clock
Speaker 1: Sports Center with like Greenberger someone else back in Connecticut.
Speaker 1: And I can remember there's no prompter. You needed like
Speaker 1: the lead ins and the and the throws to break.
Speaker 1: That's mostly what you needed, Yeah, And myself and another
Speaker 1: guy were sitting there, and the other guy was taking
Speaker 1: blue cards and feeding you notes from a cell phone,
Speaker 1: talking to a producer up there. And I remember you saying,
Speaker 1: all I need is my first sentence and my last sentence.
Speaker 1: That's what you kept saying, Give me my first sentence,
Speaker 1: give me my last sentence, and everything else will be
Speaker 1: you talking to Harold Reynolds? Are you talking to Peter's? Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was just one of those where you go, oh
Speaker 1: my god, there's people in the stands getting ready to
Speaker 1: play a ball game anymore, and you're just like, gets
Speaker 1: right before Sports Center, and then we go, we don't
Speaker 1: have prompter, and you don't want to hear those words
Speaker 1: if you're an anchor on remote. We don't have prompter,
Speaker 1: and you know, then I got to get hard copy
Speaker 1: because sometimes you don't have all your copy there. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, they give you these index card,
Speaker 1: the blues blue in deck card. And I kept saying
Speaker 1: to Pauli, and Pauli's not a TV guy. I just said, PAULI,
Speaker 1: give me my first line of my script and the
Speaker 1: last line that leads into whatever we're going to. That's
Speaker 1: all I need, I'll fill in everything else. And then
Speaker 1: I had Todd Snyder who was doing research for us.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was all hands on deck. We had
Speaker 1: a phone and we were just each taking notes off
Speaker 1: some person into an open Bristol telling us here's the
Speaker 1: end here there. Oh good. And then the following year
Speaker 1: when we were in Chicago, prompter goes down, and I
Speaker 1: remember there was so much drama going on. Remember that
Speaker 1: was with Jay Maryatti was going to come on and
Speaker 1: he wrote for one of the Chicago Sun Times, I think,
Speaker 1: and he had a problem with the manager for the
Speaker 1: White Songs, Ozzie Gain, and Ozzie and him are like
Speaker 1: they hate each other. There's a moment going on right
Speaker 1: before we're bringing him on. Prompter goes down. I got
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a mess. It's just it's one
Speaker 1: of those I guess it was decent TV, but you're
Speaker 1: just trying to just slug your way through it. Man.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. More phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: In about twenty minutes from now. Frank Vogel of the Lakers,
Speaker 1: their head coach, will join us here on The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show. Podcast.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch us live every weekday morning nine
Speaker 1: until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at
Speaker 1: FSR or stream us live on the Peacock app My Razor.
Speaker 1: Within a game of reaching the World Series for the
Speaker 1: second time, they lost to the Phillies in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight, one of six current franchises never to have
Speaker 1: won the World Series. I want me to refresh your
Speaker 1: memory on this padres obviously Mariners, Rockies, Brewers, Rangers. Does
Speaker 1: that sound right? I kept thinking, didn't the Brewers win
Speaker 1: with Raleigh Fingers as their closer and all those great
Speaker 1: Gorman Thomas's and Ogilvies and did a lot they might
Speaker 1: have lost the Cardinals. I think that might be what
Speaker 1: it is. Speaking of the Cardinals, the White Sox fired
Speaker 1: their manager Rick Rneria, and they made the playoffs. And
Speaker 1: then I saw where I don't know how much validity,
Speaker 1: but Tony LaRussa maybe coming back to manage the White Sox.
Speaker 1: Tony's got to be mid seventies, I guess. I know
Speaker 1: age is just a number, but I think Tony LaRussa
Speaker 1: might be on the list. I think the White Sox
Speaker 1: quickly pointed out Ozzy Gee and would not be one
Speaker 1: of the candidates exactly. Yes, thank you, Todd Uh. Lubamir
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine. I hope I pronounced your name correctly.
Speaker 1: Lubamir in the Ukraine. Good morning, five time, one sixty
Speaker 1: five and so yeah, Lubamir from Ukraine but live in Syracuse,
Speaker 1: adapting well to American culture of sports. Okay, I have
Speaker 1: two things. So Walker Bueller the other day says, you know,
Speaker 1: not place, not time, And I wonder why in America
Speaker 1: we always say wrong place, wrong time. Is there ever
Speaker 1: such a thing as wrong place and right time? All? Right?
Speaker 1: But two? Yeah, number two, Dan Patrick, you always say
Speaker 1: many times that you're not an IMDb. You are an IMDb.
Speaker 1: You have a nice, good profile. Just put them Patrick,
Speaker 1: and there you are with all the movies including QUB Helloween.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Lubamir. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: said I was not on IMDb. Yeah mclum, I thought
Speaker 1: you said that you were something about Hube Halloween. I
Speaker 1: wasn't listed on IMDb for Hube Halloween, not in general,
Speaker 1: or maybe they added it. That was not borat right,
Speaker 1: That was who's buying that was real Lubamir, which is
Speaker 1: like Mike in his country. I'm gonna say that was
Speaker 1: Lubamir from Ukraine. And although he got me, I thought
Speaker 1: when he said, this is Luba Meir from the Ukraine.
Speaker 1: But I I don't know, is that Sasha baron Kohn.
Speaker 1: Doesn't he have a new movie coming out later? On
Speaker 1: this one? I thought I was Yakov Smirnov, guy from
Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah, way back in the day.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna know who that is. Yeah, welcome again
Speaker 1: to the eighties seventies. He answer, mclub, You're right, you're
Speaker 1: on Huby Halloween's i AMDB page under the Yeah. I
Speaker 1: finally said to Sadler a few times, like I wasn't
Speaker 1: even on there, you're right round in the colin Quinn area. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I because I told Sadler, I said, why am
Speaker 1: I not on IMDb for the cast on Hube Halloween? Yes? Time?
Speaker 1: Do you want it that way like Lebron? I think
Speaker 1: it's the exact same Lebron wanting respect is the greatest
Speaker 1: and I would like to be listed under the cast
Speaker 1: the fellow actors on hughbe Halloween and IMDb same thing
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel, he'll join us, coming up here in about
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Dan Patrick show, I want my respect,
