00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites. I'm black Jack Fletcher, and joining

00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: going out to Vegas and then we're gonna drive across

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: the desert to California. It has a very fear and

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: loathing in Las Vegas vibe to it. Um probably will

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: go down very similarly. Yeah, And I'm going to prove

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: to everybody that I'm gonna bet the whole board and

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: show all the tickets. We're gonna have so much fun,

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: a week, the whole thing for everybody. Yeah, we probably

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: will wind up doing a lot of that. Hopefully we

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: don't get fired. Yeah, true, we probably. Although you know what,

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: anyone who's listening to this show knows it's going to

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: be the best damn content this company has ever put out.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: That's probably true. I mean that's not probably true. That

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: is true. So yeah, if you're gonna be in Vegas

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: next week, like Tuesday to Thursday, feel free to find us.

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: We'll be visible. Um all right, PAULI. So we've got

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to talk about today. There is

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot going on, particularly in the world of baseball

27
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: and football. So let's jump right into it and go

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: to your wheelhouse. Talk a little bit of baseball. What

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: in the hell is going on with Bryce Harper? Machado

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: signs last week with the Padres three hundred million dollars.

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: We finally get a leak that the Phillies have offered

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: over three hundred million ten years. He clearly does not

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: want to play in Philadelphia. I don't really know how

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you can reach any other conclusion. Yesterday we hear the

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Giants are now willing to go ten years, where previously

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: they wanted something short term. What's going on with him?

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. I tried to calm my sources, um

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers to see what was going on there.

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: I've had a feeling that that was sort of uh,

40
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: just so whisping a win in l a thing, maybe

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: a Lon Rosen thing. He's been holding Magic Johnson's jockstrap

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: way too long and he's got a power trip. So

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I think that's him making a bid for for Harper.

44
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: Um if the Dodgers sign Harper will set their their

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: franchise back. Considering my sources are saying that Clayton Kershaw

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: shoulder is not that good. When you can't play catch

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: right now, Um, that's not a good sign. And shoulder

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: is way worse than elbow. So the Dodgers concentrating on

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Harper is the last thing they need to do, is

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna maybe wise up and steer away.

51
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, And I don't think the Dodgers

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: are willing to go ten years. I think if Harper

53
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: was gonna do like a five year deal, then maybe

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: they get in it. But I don't think they're going

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: ten years. I mean, I just don't see it happening.

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: So I guess the question is now, because you can

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: bet on this, where is he gonna go? I like

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco at plus nine sixty one because the Giants

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: now were willing to go ten years. If you've gotten

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: that far as San Francisco. You can probably get to

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: the dollar amount he wants. That probably not that far

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: off on that. And I think he prefers to be

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: on the West coast for whatever reason to playing in

64
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and at plus nine sixty one, there's a hell

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: of a lot of value there. It's a lot of value,

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: it really is. You're gonna have a new manager next year. Um,

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot that they can propose to him. Um.

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: They could say, listen, Boach is gonna leave. Come for

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Boaches last year. Um, and then we're gonna build everything

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: back around you Busters, probably at the back end of

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: his career, posey and they can start rebuilding. Um. Yeah,

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing again, Barry Bonds is only left handed

73
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: her that could ever conquer that ballpark, you know. And again,

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: here's a kid hit to forty last year, and I

75
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: don't see him hitting. He's gonna hit probably a little

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: bit better, but if he goes to a Giants line

77
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: up into that ballpark, I don't see it. You know,

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: this kid's want short term, I think, because he's not

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: getting the long term because listen, nobody is worth the

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: money that they're handing out. And the padres right now

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, they signed Manny Machado thinking Nolan Arronado

82
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: was not going to get an extension. Can you imagine

83
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: if Harper signs with the Giants. If if Harper had

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: signed with the Giants and Aronado had signed an extension,

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: I guarantee you the Padres who have not given Manny

86
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: Machado three a lot tougher. Yes, So I just don't

87
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: know where his head is. Is his head I want security?

88
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Or do I want to put up numbers list? But Paul,

89
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: here's the other thing about Philadelphia. When you're a visitor

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: going into Philly, which Washington is, they're not friendly fans. Okay,

91
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: you've got to get over that. I've had batteries thrown

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: at me in the bullpen. There. I quit. I warmed

93
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: up the picture before every game except Philadelphia. It was

94
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: useless because you have fans from batteries at you, and

95
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: those are just your ex girlfriends. I mean they threw

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: stuff at at Santa They I mean, that's just Philadelphia fans,

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: So that might have an effect on it. Um, Bryce,

98
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: you know he's he flips his hair back. He's not

99
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: a Philly guy. I mean, let's be honest, Um, I've

100
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: never been. And here's the other thing. I've never seen

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: a guy that hit two be coveted for over three

102
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: seven millions. Well that's the thing. And you're you're, I mean,

103
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: you're right about the Philly thing in that it's a

104
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: sports town that brings a lot to pressure. And if

105
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: you go there and sign that contract, there's a ton

106
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: of it. Whereas if you go to San Francisco. Listen, man,

107
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: they stood by Barry Bonds through thick and thin. Those

108
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: fans are relatively loyal fans. I mean, the Giants still

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: draw a hell of a gate. But here when then

110
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: you can't compare the two players, black jack, No, no,

111
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: you have can come close to comparing him rocket fuel

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: on or off. Give Give Bryce Harper all the rocket

113
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: fuel he wants, give it, give it to him, give

114
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: him all the stuff Barry got. It's not even close,

115
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: not even a fraction of close to player Barry Bonds

116
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: is not even close. Barry could have stole forty basses too.

117
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, it was a four time m

118
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: VVP before and was a good outfielder. Is like, they're

119
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: putting this guy on a pedestal like some millions. Why

120
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: tell me why he's on the pedestal because it's the

121
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: only guy left. He's in the right spot at the

122
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: right time. He's got that look. That's why I think

123
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: l A looked at him, because he can they can

124
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: market him. That's your fans, Listen that that's part of it.

125
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: These guys now are and we're in a new millennium

126
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: where guys are worried about their their brand. I was

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: never worried about my brain. You were nine innings, was

128
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: diving in the dugouts. I was playing with torn hamstrings.

129
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: These kids get mosquito bites right now and they go

130
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: on the DL because they're worried about their future. And

131
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: you know what, I wish I would have sort of

132
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: taken that approach a little bit too. You know in

133
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: those games, in those days when I played, the trainer

134
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: would open up the cabinet and go what do you

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: need to play? And I'm like, I need that, that

136
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: and that, and it just doesn't that's not I want

137
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: to know what that that that was? Listen. No, I've

138
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: played games on four or five Perko sets, so you

139
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: have to do what you gotta do to get out there.

140
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: I had a manager telling me, hey, you is better

141
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: than the backup you're talking about Todd Pratt. Now, he

142
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: was never my backup, although we rolled out. How about

143
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the catching corps we had with the dog is when

144
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Mike Socio was there. The worst, the worst decision in

145
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Dodger history was to let Socia go and then he

146
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: went to the Angels. But it was myself, It was Piazza,

147
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: and then they traded him. It was myself. David ross

148
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Um was in Triple A. I was in the Big Leags.

149
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: David Rossell was in Triple A. Russell Martin was in

150
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: Double A three and they just made Russell Martin to

151
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: catcher and he was getting compared to me. We all

152
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: became good friends. And now David's on ESPN and Russell's

153
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: still playing. I gotta give him a ton of credit. Man.

154
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: He's kept his body in shape and now catching back

155
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. So those were fun days, all right.

156
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: So where do you think Harper winds up at the

157
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: end of the day. I've said from day one that

158
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: that he's going to go back to d C. This

159
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: is all just deploy I mean, was that home run

160
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: Derby really that fake? He seems so like exhilarating that

161
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: his dad threw him BP and he won the home

162
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: run derby in front of his home cut. And I

163
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: wrote an article thinking he could be like alex Venchikin.

164
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: He could be that, why do you want to go

165
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: wander in the NLS. Stay in the n L East.

166
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: You can win in division. If you stay in d C.

167
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: You've got three pretty good starters. Now you get to

168
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: play the Medicine Marlins thirty eight times a year exactly

169
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: like uh. And then he's sort of be the hero.

170
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: You went on this whole big old tour, the call

171
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Provano Tour. Remember that, let's let's go on the call

172
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Pavano Tour. And came and signed back and beat the

173
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: Washington DC hero. But like, I don't see, it's just

174
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: you don't read about it. Maybe it's the calm before

175
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: the storm. But well, if people there now, I think

176
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up in Philadelphia, and I'll tell you why,

177
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: because he knows he can put up monster numbers in Philadelphia.

178
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, for those interested in the team's Paul

179
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: just mentioned Philly is plus one twelve day are the favorite,

180
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: uh and the Nationals are plus thirteen forty seven. So

181
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: if I think he's going back there. I agree with you.

182
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: I think there's there's some about you in it, all right,

183
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: So let's let's shift focus a little bit here. He's

184
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: missing spring training, by the way, Paul, I mean, do

185
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: you think that's of concern at all? Well, it's a

186
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: tiny bit of concern because you want your timing back.

187
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: You probably need twenty to thirty to forty at bats

188
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: somewhere in that area. But he doesn't need to automatically,

189
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: you know me to be too worried, because what you

190
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: can do is like if a guy signs late, what

191
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll put him on the backfield. Or

192
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I used to go to my manager and tell him, hey,

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: I I feel just I don't feel good right now

194
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: with my timing. Can I face some a ball? Double

195
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: A double A guys? So on the backfields they'll have

196
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: a ball and double A games and they'll let you

197
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: lead off every inning. If you're a veteran guy. Um,

198
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: it's a way to get eight, you know, seven eight

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: at bats in one day, and you get to see

200
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: a lot of pitches and it's sort of good to

201
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: see a bone double A kids. They got just a

202
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: good arms. But the difference is those kids will throw

203
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: one at your head at about ninety nine and then

204
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: one on the corner, so you don't really know. It's

205
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable at BAD. So I'll probably do that. Whoever

206
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: signs Bryce, like, get him on the backfield, get him

207
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: something at BAD. So I'm not worried. He's a workout

208
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: freak two, so him being in shape, that's not going

209
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: to be the worry for whoever spents him. Now, talking

210
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: about spring training, there are some people out there who

211
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: bet on spring training baseball. Do you have any advice

212
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: for those people? Yeah, it's just I mean there's just

213
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: too many variables. Listen, you you know that I'll bet

214
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: on two roaches going across the floor. You know that. Um,

215
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: but I can't play spring training baseball. You know, half

216
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the time that I my experiences was I was I

217
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: knew I was catching four or five innings. You know,

218
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: earlier in my career, I would go up swinging because

219
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: I was trying to make a team. And then as

220
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: I became the starting catcher, I did not care what

221
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I hit in spring training. I wanted to see more

222
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: pitches because you know, um, Eric Carross came up to

223
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: me and said, why are you swinging at the first

224
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: pitch every time? I remember him telling me that my

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: second year, and I'm like, what are you talking about.

226
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: He goes, spring trains for you to see as many

227
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: pitches as you can, goes if you hit a double

228
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: in the gap on the first pitch, it does nothing

229
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: for you because but if you see seven eight pitches,

230
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna get your timing back. So each guy's have

231
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: different approaches. Um, and then when I go catch, I

232
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: might catch like you know, Eric Ganni or Kevin Brown

233
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: or the guys that I caught in the future, you know,

234
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: in the past, and they would say, hey, I'm only

235
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna throw a fastball today. No curveballs, no slidders, no changeups.

236
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna throw like you know, two three innings.

237
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: Ganyer would come in and say, hey, listen, I'm gonna

238
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: work on my curveball, which is like his fourth best pitch.

239
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: So guys work on different things, and then you you

240
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: get the a ball double A kids that obviously got

241
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: the monster arms that are our prospects. But you just

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to react because they're trying

243
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: to make a splash and they can make a game

244
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: go sideways late. Yeah, and I agree with you. I

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: think betting spring training baseball is just asinine. I mean,

246
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: you've got players that don't really put full effort into it,

247
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: to say the least. You've got different rules in play,

248
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: you don't know who's playing from day to day. It's

249
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: just a mess. I would avoid it. Um, let's move

250
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: on and talk a little NFL. PAULI. We've got an

251
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: interesting scenario unfolding with Antonio Brown. The Steelers originally said

252
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: I think there were three teams interested. Now they say

253
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: that numbers grown. Where do you think Antonio Brown winds

254
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: up in Week one of next season? M M, that

255
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: is a good question, Jerry World do you think Dallas? Well,

256
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: here's my thing, he's the only guy that can make

257
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: the big enough splash and deal with that clown. Antonio

258
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: Brown's a clown. And here's the deal. Like when he

259
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: did the Facebook, when was the Facebook thing like three

260
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: years ago? Two years ago? He was two years ago.

261
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean he was a clown after that, He's been

262
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: a clown ever since. Great receiver. I get it. I

263
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: get all the intangibles and what he brings. Piece of clown,

264
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: So you gotta deal with that, um and why why

265
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: would you want to leave that culture in Pittsburgh. I mean,

266
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: I guess it's um he to me. I think Antonio

267
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: Brown created the culture, created the bad culture in that clubhouse. Um.

268
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: You can say, um that Bell did, but you know

269
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Bell was proven a point and he did what was

270
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: best for him for his future. Um. So Antonio Brown says,

271
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: I want out to and now this this whole thing

272
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: is gonna happen, and god knows who's gonna jump in late.

273
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys are one great receiver and we saw

274
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: Mary Cooper elevate them a little bit. If they, you know,

275
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: or would be able to pull something off, Jerry would

276
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: be the guy that can do it. I mean, I

277
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: get that. The only the only hesitation I have is

278
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: that they gave up a first round pick for a

279
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper this season, So I don't know that they're

280
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna move more top draft capital to do it. The

281
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: team that I'm kind of looking at, and I know

282
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: it's a little bit out there, is the Arizona Cardinals.

283
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: And the reason I think the reason I think the

284
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals could do it is I think they're going to

285
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: trade out of that one spot I don't think they're

286
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna take Kyler Murray. I think they're gonna stick with Rosen.

287
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: And if they trade down and they get a bunch

288
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: of draft picks, they may spend some of those off

289
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and figure, let's go with Rosen and give

290
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: him a top wide receiver and really give this thing

291
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: a go. Maybe Larry Fitzgerald can call Antonio Brown down

292
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, um and maybe you know, he'll he'll

293
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: rub off on him a little bit. Yeah, that could

294
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: be a good play. Um. I thought they would be

295
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: in the mix, but they're saying now they're not, especially

296
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: with Grappoo coming back. That could be obviously uh sneaky,

297
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: But they're staying there out now. Yeah, it looks like

298
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: they are. And by the way, the Cardinals are at

299
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: plus one thousand, twenty one and the Cowboys at plus

300
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: one thousand ninety. The favorite is the forty nine Ers

301
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: at plus two thirty nine, followed by the Jets at

302
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: plus four eight. I could see the Jets getting involved,

303
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: but I think the Jets are more likely interested in

304
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: leave you on bell. Is it the Aaron Rodgers effact?

305
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Steve farm Insurance can throw some money in. Maybe

306
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: maybe and get him. Speaking of the NFL, we had

307
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the Uh, we had a I can't say bizarre story

308
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: because everyone is watching it. But Kyler Murray was at

309
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Combine today and he got measured measured out a little

310
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: over five ten hand size of nine and a half inches.

311
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: For those of you interested, Darren, UM doesn't mean anything. Um,

312
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: which team is going to draft Kyler? Mary Paul? I

313
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: have no clue, and I said it before the kid

314
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: made the right choice. Um. Could he have got a

315
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: nice signing bonus in baseball, Yes, but baseball can sit

316
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: around from him if if this doesn't work out. But uh,

317
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: he's different type of player. He's so dynamic and now

318
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: the way the NFL is being played in the way

319
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: that they sort of protect the quarterback. Um, I think

320
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. I mean, obviously it's explosive, but his height.

321
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that he actually did hit five ten because

322
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: I was five ten in the program my whole life,

323
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: I can I'm barely touching five eight, So I'm surprised

324
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: that he actually, yeah, it's five ten, because usually that's

325
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: they would have listened to maybe a six one in

326
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: the program. It's the first time I can ever remember

327
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: someone measuring taller than what they were listening that actually

328
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: had to I would think a lot of Scott's be

329
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: a little excited. Also, he's put weight on too. He

330
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: he came in it like what two seven something like that.

331
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's added some some weight to his frame.

332
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: So I think that's going to help him. The teams

333
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: that I'm looking at for him, I'm looking at the

334
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: Raiders because the Raiders have so much draft capital um

335
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: sitting on three first round picks. I mean, if they

336
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: want to move up, they could trade two first round

337
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: picks and still have, uh, the second overall pick. I

338
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: mean the Raiders really, and they're sitting there at plus

339
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: seven hundred. There's good value there. The other team I'm

340
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: looking at is the one right below them, which is

341
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins a plus a thousand. This really feels

342
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: like a Dan Snyder kind of move, doesn't it. Yeah,

343
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: he likes this kind of dynamic, bring the the excitement

344
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: in obviously. Um, I think this kid's gonna be okay. Um,

345
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: he's different than than other guys with his h height,

346
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Like Manzelle had demons and other stuff going on and in,

347
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: but this kid is a different kind of athlete. And

348
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: when I watch him play baseball, um man, he reminds

349
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: me a lot of mooky bets are the way he

350
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: swings the bat, that's quick hands, and there's no doubt

351
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: in my mind he would he would succeed playing ball.

352
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 1: You can just tell by his swing. But listen, you know,

353
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: let's see what happens in the NFL draft. And I think,

354
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: like I said, I think he's making the right choice,

355
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: and I think he'll he'll he'll be okay in the NFL.

356
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah. I mean, listen, I was concerned

357
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: about his frame. I thought he'd be injury prone. But

358
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: we can't hit a quarterback anymore with him coming in

359
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: with him coming in five ten, two oh seven, I mean,

360
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm less concerned. I thought he'd come in around. But

361
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: I think he's tougher than people to think. And again,

362
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: like just know, when the plays over, just slide, get down,

363
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna get I understand his size, but when he

364
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: gets out of the pocket, he's just just gonna be dynamic.

365
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: So um, to me, drafting a smaller quarterback and smaller

366
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: frame quarterback is okay. Now with all the new rule

367
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: of not being able to touch a quarterback. Now, he

368
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: might take a late hit and and get hurt. But listen,

369
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: that's the chances you take when you draft a guy

370
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: that's that stature. But you're right, two, two or seven

371
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: and in five ten is not that bad. No, I

372
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: mean he he compares physically very well to Russell Wilson.

373
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean the numbers are almost identical. So we'll see

374
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: what happens there. Um. But like I said, I'm taking

375
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: a look at the Raiders and the Redskins on that one. Um.

376
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles announced yesterday, Paul that they will not put

377
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: a tag on Nick Foles. They will let him walk

378
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: into free agency. Where do you think nick Foles winds up?

379
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, is there is there any team other than

380
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: Jacksonville that makes as much sense? No, I was just

381
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna say Jacksonville. Um, you know, I think Nick Foles

382
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: doesn't even carry ends up. I mean, here's a guy

383
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: that was on the brink of basically retiring, um twinning

384
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl as the backup, and he really gets

385
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: no respect the kid. Um. Yeah, and he's finally going

386
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: to get his due, or at least get get get

387
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: a paid a um. And I think it's Jacksonville. He's

388
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: got this calmness about it. Listen, it's tough to play,

389
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: like I said, we were talking to it's tough to

390
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: play in Philadelphia. And the kid was able to play

391
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: on the stage, I mean on the big stage, on

392
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: the biggest stage, and was basically and the orchestrated the

393
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: Philly what are they called the Philly play whatever? He said,

394
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: let's run it. I mean that takes a pair of

395
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: pair of balls, Let's be honest. So you know, the

396
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: thing that that that surprises me is I feel like

397
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: Nick Foles has been in the league for a long time,

398
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: but he's actually a year younger than Kirk Cousins. And

399
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: last year Kirk Cousins got what nineties something million dollars

400
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: fully guaranteed over three years. Nick Foles isn't going to

401
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: touch that kind of money. What about? And it's crazy.

402
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: He is a Super Bowl m v P winning quarterback.

403
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Who do you take Nick Foles case Keenum or or

404
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: or Kirk Cousin? Nick Foles exactly, stick Folds. Let me

405
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the top quarterback in the NFL. Maybe, Okay, And here's

406
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: the other question. You you take your team and you're

407
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: starting right now, you take Ronado, Harper, Marcado Arnado. There

408
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: you go, the cheapest one, the one that's gonna stay

409
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: out of trouble. This is economics with Paul Laduca. It's

410
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: it's that simple. The Angels set themselves back twenty years.

411
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: Like I'm telling you, if the Dodgers signed, they're gonna

412
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: do the same thing the Angels did. They signed pool Holes,

413
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: Socio wanted Granky, Artie Moreno wanted Josh Hamilton's and pool Holes.

414
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Now look what you got. You got a dead Angel

415
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: team for the last whatever ten years. So the same

416
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: thing is gonna happen with the Daughters or somebody that

417
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: signs Harper. Whoever signs Harper better be very smart. By

418
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: the way, are you recording this podcast that l a

419
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: X because I've heard car horns and airplanes both during

420
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: this this taping. Well, I'm I live sort of like

421
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: on this like crowded street. Yeah, it seems just like

422
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: zoomed by. I think they know they're here, they're trying

423
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: to take it. Maybe the paparazzi there trying to take pictures.

424
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: That sounds right, all right, PAULI as as always, you

425
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: uh you are a prolific better you you have said

426
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: that when we're in Vegas, you're gonna bet the board,

427
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: and I believe that. Um, what do you have in

428
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the college slate tonight? We got a lot of college games?

429
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: What do you like? I'm on fire to last week?

430
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: Pretty good? What do you night? Not bad? Although I

431
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: got hosed Jordans Caroline from the Nevada wolf Pack for

432
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: a lot of people who don't know one of my

433
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: sleeper teams, and a lot of people who don't know

434
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Caroline is the son of Simeon Rice. Remember Simeon Rice.

435
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: He was too late free throws cost me the cover

436
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: last night in Nevada. Uh. But I love the Johnnies

437
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: against Xavier tonight. How about that? Okay? I like the

438
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 1: Johnnies a little bit. Xavier had a big win. Um

439
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: their last game, they found the sort of they're they're

440
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: sort of one of those teams that is on the brink.

441
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: They beat Nova. The Villanova's to me not the same team. Um,

442
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: I think they are. People are starting to catch up

443
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: to him Phil Booths. Every time he gets the ball,

444
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: people are double triple team and stuff like that. So

445
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a funny win

446
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: and I like the Johnny Tonight St. John's over Xavier. Alright,

447
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: so that is the gambling portion of our program. But

448
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: now we're going to move into um what I think

449
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: is rapidly going to become everyone's favorite moment of their week,

450
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: and that's story time with Paul Laduca. Last week, Paul

451
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: told us his amazing story of Hideyo Nomo drinking over

452
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: thirty beers on a cross country flight and then waking

453
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: him up the next morning to go and eat with

454
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: the Iron Chef in Philadelphia. Uh. This week, Paul, if

455
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm correct, you have a little bit of a spring

456
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: training story from the old Dodger Town in Vero Beach, Florida. Right. Yeah,

457
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: it's a true story, obvious. So all these are And

458
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put out a picture on my Instagram on

459
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: my story and the guy in the top left corner,

460
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: his name is Dave Dickinson or Bones. He was a

461
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: clubhouse manager, so he can validate the Normo story. I

462
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have him calling next week invalidate this story.

463
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: This is it was crazy. And when I when you

464
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: go to spring training, they bring a ton of catchers.

465
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: So in ninety seven those years they made me a catcher.

466
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: They would bring in a ball, double a stuff like that.

467
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 1: So I was just a young rookie and I remember

468
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: Mark Guthrie went up to Carols and like I said,

469
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: Carrols was my mentor um and he always, you know,

470
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: took care of me. And gut goes over to e

471
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: K and he goes, hey, who can of the young

472
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: kids can we trust around here to be the driver?

473
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there one what is he saying? And Carross

474
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: goes Luducas Luduca won't say a word, and he's the best.

475
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: By the way I've driven with you. I wouldn't trust

476
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: you to drive me across the street. So I'm like,

477
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: what's going on here? So now Gut three goes to

478
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: me and goes, hey, um, I'm gonna get your rent

479
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: a car for the whole spring training. Okay, So what

480
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize if you're a minor

481
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: league player and not married, you have to live on Dodgertown.

482
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: In those days, Dodgertown was like a Marriott with like

483
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: a residence in um you stayed two guys in a room.

484
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: Usually you stayed with another catcher who are your same position.

485
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: Player that kind of deal, and you had a guard

486
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: at the gate, and our curfew was midnight, so you

487
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: could rent a car if you wanted to, but you

488
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: had to be home by midnight and there was a

489
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: guard guarding. So I tell Gut. I'm like, I can't

490
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: have I can have a rent a car, but I

491
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: can't leave after midnight. What do I need the rent

492
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: a car for. He goes, well, there's one condition. You

493
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: have to pick me up at any time if I

494
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: call you. I'm like, what do you mean? Because you

495
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: get a free rent of car for all spring training,

496
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: but you have to pick me up at any time

497
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: at night. I go, Gut, I can't I go. I

498
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: can't sneak past the guard. What do you mean? He's like,

499
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: I go, I have to drive the car out of Dodgertown.

500
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: I can't I go. He goes, well, what what can

501
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: you do? I go, Well, the backfields. There's woods in

502
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: the woods in the backfield had a tiny little parking

503
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: lot where people could park over there. I said, if

504
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: you guys tell me what nights you're going out on,

505
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: I will park the car over there. So he would

00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: text me here and there they're going out going out

507
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: and nothing's happening. Nothing happening. I parked the car over there.

508
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: One night, I get a phone call at about two

509
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: in the morning. You gotta come get me. You gotta

510
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: come get me. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.

513
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: you gotta come get us. That's the deal. So now

514
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: to get out of Daughtertown, you have to hop get

515
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: out of the front, hop over. Basically climb over. It

516
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: was actually pretty simple climb. But you can climb up

517
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: the roof and you just had to climb over one

518
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: little fence. Wait, you had to climb up a roof. Yeah,

519
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: you have to climb up a roof and you have

520
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: to climb up a fence. It's how we snuck out

521
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: a daughter town. The only way you can sneak out,

522
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: you get out. You wanted to have a drink. Where

523
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: where did you have to go to pick up? I

524
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: had to pick him up in Melbourne? Had a strip club. Okay,

525
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: I was trying to find the name of it and

526
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: I still can't. So now it's a Melbourne, Florida strip club. Yes,

527
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else you So yeah,

531
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: at now. Melbourne's like a thirty five minute drive. So

532
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: he had got me like a jeep Cherokee, like an

Speaker 1: suv on purpose because he knew, you know, he'd have

534
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,640

567
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, I remember why. I'm like, this is the

568
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: big league life. A Melbourne, Florida strip club with Ron Jeremy.

569
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: It was like every stripper was coming up to Ron

570
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: and like you could have you could have set your

571
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: spatoon on his belly. I mean, like it was. It

572
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: was a sight to see that so many people. I

573
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: wanted to go home with Ron Jeremy. And and in

574
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: those days, like the sideburns were really kicking, and I

575
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: had some really good sideburns right there, and they couldn't

576
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: even touch Ron's. Wow, did you have any good stories?

577
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: He was pretty smoked, but he was telling a couple

578
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: of stories. Um, But when you he didn't really want

579
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: to talk about like the porn industry that much. It's

580
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: sort of like a job. It's like sort of like

581
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: when we don't want to talk about baseball a lot

582
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: off the field. We were trying to ask him a

583
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: bunch of questions this and that, but he wasn't really interested.

584
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: More guys like Dad are asking us questions like when

585
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: I later, when I talked to uh Gut three eight

586
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: and about it and Gut goes he came over and

587
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: recognized one of the other guys who I'm not gonna

588
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: mention that was there, Um, and he recognized him and

589
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: knew like there were a couple of Dodger guys and

590
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, Ron wire to hang out with a bunch

591
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: of baseball players, and he was asking a bunch of

592
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 1: baseball questions. Actually he had no clue who I was.

593
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: I was just the designated driver that was an a

594
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,719
Speaker 1: ball kid. Now you mentioned that Dodgertown you kind of

595
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: stayed in like a Marriott. Yeah, So that was the

596
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: thing we ended up figuring out you could not come back.

597
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: So I told Gut I like, listen, we that was

598
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: part of the reason why we went to Deny's because

599
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: I was driving and I'm like, I can't go back

600
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: to Dodgertown right now. Can I sleep at your house?

601
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: Because you could tell the security guard, hey, um, Mark

602
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: took me out to breakfast, and he's like, I didn't

603
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: see you leave, and like, yeah, he took me out

604
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: for breakfast. But if you came in at four in

605
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: the morning, you were popped, so you had to stay

606
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: out longer. So I stayed out longer. I just went

607
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: to Gut's house while he went to bed. Of course,

608
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: he was a veteran relief pitcher. He didn't have to

609
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: be into like nine or ten. He laid down for

610
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. I just took guts to I

611
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: took him to his house. I waited to like seven

612
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,560

613
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: the security guard was like, did you leave. I'm like, yeah,

616
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: You had to pull pulled in And I literally walked

617
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: straight into the clubhouse with with no sleep, um in

618
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: blocking balls and I remember I was in the shower

619
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: and all those guys just laughed at me. Um. But

620
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,200

621
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: free car. They were laughing at the shower because you

622
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: were out because they know and they knew what they
