Speaker 1: tirerac dot com. He is the way tire buying should be. Well.

16
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Here we are, beginning of the second half, Game five

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals, Oklahoma City, with a fifty nine

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: to forty five lead over the Pacers. We got show

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani taking them ound for the first time in

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: almost two years, coming up in about ten minutes. We

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff we got tonight here on

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: the show, and I'll give you one prop bet already. Yeah,

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: I might go show hey o Tani more strike He's

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: pitching an inning more strikeouts than Tyre's Halliburton has points. Whoooo.

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if that prop bet got put up

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: on the map. Right now, I'm even, and the game

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 3: I haven't started. I'm even right now because Tyre's Halliburton

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: has not scored in the first half of this game

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 3: again a fifty nine to forty five lead Oklahoma City.

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: And the big story Tyre's Halliburton, who missed a couple

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: of minutes a little bit of calf tightness, had his

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: calf retaped or or looked out in the locker room,

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: came back out, he still was not able to score.

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: He didn't look good before he got hurt. He didn't

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: look after he got hurt. I'm telling you he's got

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: so much Anthony Edwards in him where he just goes

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: ghost for long periods of time in multiple playoff games

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: and series, no matter what it is. I feel like,

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: would it be better if the thunder were all wearing

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: Knicks jerseys because you were motivated for the majority of

41
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: that series.

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: I feel like, really do you really need, he really

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: needs motivation right this sometimes he just goes absolutely space

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: ghost on everybody. Seemed like a best of three scenario.

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: You know, all those words like legend, legacy and whatever

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: else we do and ascribe those as quickly as we do.

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Haliburton was getting a lot of love, right We started

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to see the.

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: Poison pens coming out, going, maybe we have a new villain,

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: a guy that embraces the hate, you know, embrace debate,

51
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: embrace the hate, all of those kind of fun things.

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: And then you have an effort here. And he didn't

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: look right early in the game.

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: Wasn't moving very well defensively, a step slow, looked like

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: he was dragging his leg a little bit, goes out,

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: gets taped up, has the bandage on. Then he's on

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 3: the sideline and you get the camera shot of him

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: putting the towel over his face as if he's in anguished.

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: He's anguished, and then he gets back out and once

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: again he's less than less than ideal in terms of

61
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: his attacking on offense and sliding on d But he's

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: played seventeen minutes, so it becomes the all right excuses

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: and all of that. You're still on the court. I

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: can only evaluate what's there.

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: No look, And here's the thing is that he didn't

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: look good before, he didn't look good after, Right, That's

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And the fact is, yes, seventeen minutes,

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: if he couldn't go, if it was impossible him to go,

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: he would be sitting out. Because this is you don't

70
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: want to say it's a free game for the Pacers,

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: but okay, if he was really a danger of exacerbating

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: his injury, getting hurt and then missing the rest of

73
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the finals, the Pacers would sit him down and say,

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: you know what, we got three days between games. We're

75
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: not playing again until July seventeenth. We're gonna sit you

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: down and then be ready to go and we get

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: back it. Maybe we can. We can sneak this one

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: out here, and you never know, we may get a

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: big night for McConnell off the bench and Matheren could

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: start hitting shots. And clearly this is a game that

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: it looks like Oklahoma City should be up more than

82
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: they are the way they've been dominant. But still the

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Pacers find a way hit a three now and again

84
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: and stay involved and stay close. But if it was

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: really bad, he would not be in the game. But

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: he's out there and he's given it a go two

87
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: to three times. How many times got to come out

88
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: of the locker room, come out and play, and sit

89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: down and play and sit down. If it was really,

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: really bad, they would pull him out of the game

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, this is gonna be a

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: night where we try to do it without you, and

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: we keep you right and get you ready for game

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: six back home.

95
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know cafstrains can escalate quickly into other things too, right,

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: So that's the other part you're talking pain threshold, but

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: also to your point about exacerbating it and creating an

98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: issue not only for the rest of these finals, but

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: something that potentially becomes a long stand. I mean, how

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: many guys have we seen that are already off of

101
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: our Bingo cards for twenty twenty five twenty six based

102
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: on injury sustained in the playoffs. We're already had an

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: all star lineup full of guys as we go, so

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: playing through and trying, but the offense has been sputtering.

105
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: But he's playing. So Rick Carlisle and company, you're tied

106
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: best of three. I know you don't want to go

107
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: down but you are going back home for Game six.

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: You got a couple of days that you get him

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: into intense treatments, but he's still still working. So our

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: poison pens to use that term again, are are going

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: to be out you play. I evaluate you on what

112
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: you're able to do. Because you didn't tap out right,

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: you haven't gone to the locker room for good, and

114
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: you're not done. So now you're a detriment to your team.

115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: We have to evaluate you just as a negative instead

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: of an injured player.

117
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you posting on this. I mean, obviously

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: we are keeping an eye on it. It's a eleven

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: point lead now for Oklahoma City early in the third

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: or a lot of basketball to go here. Meanwhile, what

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: we are getting set for in about three minutes is

122
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: the first appearance of show Hey Otani on a pitcher's

123
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: mound in nearly two years. The story breaks late last

124
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: night following the the Dodgers game. Hey guess what, show

125
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: He's back tomorrow? Wait, not in a week, No back tomorrow,

126
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: but seriously, yes, he's back tomorrow. Probably gonna go an inning.

127
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe he's gonna go any more

128
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: than that. As the Dodgers kind of get him back

129
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: in and clearly with all the injuries going on with

130
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: their rotation, not a moment too soon for show. Hey,

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: but you know, seeing all the prop bets that are

132
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: out there for show, hit, what's it gonna be? I mean,

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under on all of them. I

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: mean I'll take the over on more more strikeouts for

135
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: Otani than points for Halliburton. But I will go under.

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: What's it one and a half because he's not gonna

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: go more than if I thought he would go more

138
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: than an inning, I would say, okay, but I'm pretty sure, hey,

139
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: going inning, don't go crazy, and we're gonna have a plan, right,

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: that's what the Dodgers want to have a plan, and

141
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: it's got well, but you go, let's go because then

142
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: if he gets in trouble in the middle of the

143
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: second inning, or he labors, he throws a lot of pitches,

144
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: they'll want to make a move. It's gonna be one inning.

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go it one and a half for strikeouts,

146
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under. Yeah, it's even going under for walks,

147
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: under for everything except for point shimmer, Halbert, how about

148
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: to record one or more strikeouts and to hit a

149
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: home run plus two. Okay, so more than one strikeout

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: and a home run, yeah, or one strike out on

151
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: a home run one plus one. He just got to

152
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: get at least one, okay, So one strike out, one

153
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: strike out on a home run, okay, okay, So if

154
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: you strike if he strikes out one and he hits

155
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,280

00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. See a night like that, I

Speaker 1: that's what I don't mind, white knuckling Like I'm not

220
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: but this, okay, I'll do that. I'll wait, I'll wait

221
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: and see. Oh, I'll wait a time, but I will

222
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: also make sure I leave early. I'll also make.

223
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: Sure that fair just outside the stadium, right outside of

224
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 3: tikety and I was.

225
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: Entryway, and I even I even put down playing Solitaire

226
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: to check and make sure they were gonna get to

227
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: the game in time. I mean I got, I got

228
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: with Otani, I got the NBA Finals, I got my

229
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Solitaire game. I got a lot of time. It's a

230
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: lot of Thames, yes, I mean, that's why I was

231
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna start running down.

232
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: I had forty five other alternate prop bets, so you

233
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: could finish that game and see if you can you

234
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: can clear your board.

235
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: I just found out you had to alternate red black

236
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: red black, red, but I just found that out. You

237
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: have to alternate red black. You can't just go unless

238
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: you play Spider Solitaire. But I'm not ready for that.

239
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for it because I think that's a

240
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: whole different thing. I want to make sure Spider Pig,

241
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: Spider pick Showotani is one batter down and it's one

242
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: batter on base. Otani was hitting ninety eight to the

243
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: first batter, Fernando Tatis Junior, who dunks one in front

244
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: of Andy Pajes in center fields. Tatise is on board

245
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: with a leadoff single. Again. Otani hit ninety eight on

246
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: two fastballs a couple of pitches borderline. Looked like he

247
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: might have got squeezed a little bit on however, well

248
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: it was they looked like it's actually Scott Foster is

249
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: on part of it. Didn't give any He's extended lay

250
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: himself out. Yeah he is. Uh, he is extending this this.

251
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

252
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: And now Tani has thrown a wild pitch trying to

253
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: throw it in the It looked like it might have

254
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: no not a hit by pitch. For a second, it

255
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: did look looked like it might have been hit by pitch,

256
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. Tatis is able to get to second.

257
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, Luis Araya is batting

258
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: with a runner and scoring position, and uh Otani seven

259
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: pitches in, he's already in trouble.

260
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: I may Hart is incensed. Yes, a lot of us.

261
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you see it. It looks like it

262
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: feels like a playoff game. What's happening right now with

263
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: SHOOTI pitching for the first.

264
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Times for the first pitch, And I'm telling man, this

265
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: is all part of what's good because I've said this

266
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: from the beginning with Otani, right, I've said this from

267
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: the beginning. Eventually the dodge are going to make him

268
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: a closer. You can't. You can't put him out there

269
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: expecting that he's going to pitch and be a starter

270
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: every fifth day for a season. His arm has already

271
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: been blown out twice, he's over thirty. He's not gonna

272
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: do it and hit. You can't do you just can't

273
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: do it. Now. Oh so we have him start and

274
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: roll the gain? Yeah, okay, that's great. You want to

275
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: start the game being opener of it. But is that

276
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: what you really want him for? Do you want to

277
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: throw an arm in the bullpen and lock down the

278
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: ninth inning, and talk about the juice and the excitement

279
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: that hits the ballpark and hits the team. If Otani

280
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: is trying to close out a game, now, you don't

281
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: just put him right out there and close, right, I

282
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: get that, right, You don't put him right out there

283
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: to close. But here you go, one inning to start

284
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: the game, Okay, eventually be one inning to finish the game.

285
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: Well, that's where a Tai's start on the return against

286
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: the hated Padres and a big home slate home home

287
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: occurrence here against the NBA Finals, and get the crowd juiced,

288
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: and then.

289
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta work it back. Look, they're gonna be

290
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: active come the deadline. There's no question. You keep telling me.

291
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Arms are coming back. Arms are coming back. And it's

292
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: good to see him out on the mound. But there's

293
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do with this roster yet.

294
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: And if you took the alas said, I was gonna

295
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: take the under for hits a lot in the first inning,

296
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: I've already lost. Yeah, plus one ninety's already cashed. Ariahs

297
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: just lines one to center field too hard, hitting right

298
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: at Andy Pajes, so Tatiase can't score. But now first

299
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: and third, nobody out and Otani is already twelve pitches

300
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: into the first inning, so I already lost that under.

301
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,239
Speaker 1: But I'm winning so far on the on the strikeouts,

302
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: so I have that. Yeah, I have that in the walks,

303
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: so strikeouts are I'm feeling good on two. I'm two

304
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: for three, so I'm feeling all right right now. But again,

305
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: nobody out, so it's almost like that it's starting. It's

306
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: just beginning right now. Seven minutes to go on the

307
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: third quarter, Oklahoma City leads Indianda seventy to fifty nine

308
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: and eleven point lead for the thunder As. Somehow the

309
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: Pacers are hanging around despite the fact they have been

310
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: outplayed from the jump in this game. We'll have more

311
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: on this coming up next, including breaking down a really

312
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,240

358
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: In the NBA? The Thunder lead the Pacers seventy five

359
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: sixty six late in the third quarter, And I'll tell

360
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: you what. This game is going very dangerously for the

361
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: Thunder because they're playing this game at a pace and

362
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: a and a level of desire that tells me, like

363
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: when you get in the game where you go, Okay,

364
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: we're controlling this game. We don't really need to go

365
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: crazy extend ourselves. Let's not try to get too outside

366
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: the box. And we're gonna hold on to win here

367
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: because we've been controlling this the entire way. Like that's

368
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of how I feel the Thunder or playing. And

369
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: when you play that weight, that's a recipe for disaster

370
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: because eventually, eventually the pacer are gonna start hitting threes,

371
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna move, they're gonna pace, and all of a sudden,

372
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: that twelve, thirteen to fourteen point lead becomes a nine

373
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: point lead like it is now. The nine point lead

374
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: becomes a five point lead, five gets to three. TJ

375
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: McConnell starts hitting turn around twisty buckets in a lane

376
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter the tyres Haliburton's having a horrible game.

377
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: This is what happens. But I have seen no sense

378
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: of urgency from the Thunder, from the last couple of

379
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: minutes before halftime to where we are right now. They

380
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: just seem, hey, we're playing, let's not screw things up, right,

381
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: We're playing really well. We just need to execute the

382
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: rest of the way. And anytime you get to that point.

383
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: That's a dangerous point for.

384
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: A took care of business in the first half, hitting

385
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: a wide open threes, moving the ball in transition, protecting

386
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 3: the rim, and obviously Haliburton being limited oh of six

387
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: from the field. He finally did hit a couple of

388
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: free throws though, so that prop bet blew up. Yeah,

389
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 3: pausing there, but it's you let him hang around, Like

390
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: if you've learned anything watching these playoffs, pacers aren't gonna

391
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 3: go away. The fact that he was still dragging his

392
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 3: leg out there, Haliburton wasn't gonna go away, And again

393
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: we evaluated for what it is. But that means they're

394
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 3: not ready to put it, you know, put it on

395
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 3: ice and go back for Game six. They're gonna keep competing.

396
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: And we watched their bench and their depth in every series.

397
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: You know it as a Knicks fan, it'll go away.

398
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, No, they're gonna keep counting. You have

399
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: to keep playing, keep coming.

400
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: Uh So again, where we sit right now, it's an

401
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: eight point lead for Oklahoma City, three and a half

402
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: to go in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Sho Hao Tani's

403
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: first inning is over and now he's coming to the

404
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: plate for the first time. The Padres lead the Dodgers

405
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: one to nothing. Manny Machado would a sacrifice fly a

406
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: close play at the plate, But tatise is safe though,

407
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: so why shouldn't it have counted? Did you not see

408
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: the appeal to first on the check swing? I mean

409
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: the full swing? Oh oh yeah, I did see the

410
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: appeal to first. It seemed like full swing. Yeah no,

411
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: it looked like I thought you meant the sacrifice fly itself.

412
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah no, yeah, yeah, Well, I mean I think, you know,

413
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: I think maybe the home plate umpire didn't want to

414
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: get yelled at by Machado like he yelled at the

415
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: umpire last week when he got called out on strike.

416
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: If you was scared of Machado, your so the whole

417
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: ring doorbell thing, I mean that would that would come back?

418
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't want that would take him a wall though,

419
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: didn't you get to your house? So one inning pitch

420
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: for show, heo Tony twenty eight pitches, so a heavy

421
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: workload in the first inning. Two hits, one run, The

422
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: run is earned, and again the Dodgers trail of the

423
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: Padres right now won nothing is they bat in the

424
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: bottom of the first inning, hit.

425
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: In the upper nineties with his fastball, so had that

426
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: pop out of the gate. So folks excited, A little

427
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: bit erradic, right, A lot of juice, a lot of

428
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 3: energy in the crowd. I mean it's also a day

429
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: he's excited because Epe is now behind bars.

430
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Yesported to prison. You want to talk about.

431
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: Bookending at historic Okay, you go behind bars. You you're

432
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: back to the mouth. I'll pitch when I feel safe.

433
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: When Epe is behind bars, he pays behind. I'll pitch tonight.

434
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: Give me the ball. I'm ready. I'm ready to go.

435
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: Give me the ball. Give me the ball. So two hits,

436
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: either of them hit very well. No, no, so you

437
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: take that.

438
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean it'll look like line drives singles in the

439
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: box score tomorrow.

440
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: The right if he threw the ball, there's nothing I

441
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: saw tonight that tells me, oh boy, oh to Otani

442
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: threw the ball. You know he had that little bit

443
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: of juice. I'm sure first time pitching. So they gave

444
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: him a couple extra miles an hour on the fastball.

445
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: But ninety eight his breaking pitches were breaking right through

446
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: the wild pitch. There's nothing I saw tonight in the

447
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: first inning from him that tells me, Okay, he's not

448
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: going to be back to being himself. He just needs

449
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: the reps he needs to get back in, he needs

450
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: to extend himself again. I would have him closed, but

451
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a lot of problems with the starting pitching,

452
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: so probably going to be out there starting for a

453
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: little while. But yeah, he looked fun. Yes, not optimal

454
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: that he gives up a running the first end of

455
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: the padres, but overall you have to be pretty pretty

456
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: pleased with what you saw in the first end. Let's

457
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: just say it.

458
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: Twenty eight pitches, good velocity, some pretty good movement on

459
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: the ball, wild pitch aside, of course, But all of

460
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: that to say, you get out of that with one inning,

461
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: one run allowed. The inning I saw, you know, his

462
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: reaction to the play at the plate and fired up

463
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: and given the umpire and earful, no question about it.

464
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: But you now have proof of concept. He's back, and

465
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: he's now a piece on the chessboard from the pitching

466
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: side of things. And now we'll see where they take

467
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 3: it from here as to how they work out the rotation.

468
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: You're gonna have these you already have. The opener game

469
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: was part of your world. So we'll see how long

470
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: that projects. We talked about Sasaki briefly, the expectation that

471
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: he's not going to return this season, but you are

472
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: seeing more throwing sessions from Snell on his bobblehead day.

473
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: Some good news there. Eventually the glass now will be back

474
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: for a couple innings before he.

475
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 3: Goes back on the show. So you got all of

476
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: those things that you work to do. And Clayton Kershaw

477
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: inching ever closer to three thousand striking. I mean, look,

478
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: I mean I.

479
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: Firmly believe that it doesn't matter how many pitchers the

480
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers could sign in the off season. We signed four

481
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: teen starting pitchers, all former Cy Young Award winners, all

482
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: guys who have gone through and thrown tons of pitches.

483
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: They're healthy all the time. The minute you get them it, yeah,

484
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be down to Kershaw being

485
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: our second starter by the time we get to the

486
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: end of gym.

487
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 3: No, I mean, where's the sage brush. Kyrie ain't working

488
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: right now?

489
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Go get that. It's like no matter. He used to

490
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: beel like that way with the Mets, but now the

491
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers have taken that to an absurd level where they

492
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: really they have an all star staff, starting staff, on

493
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: the on the injured list. Yeah, like these are all

494
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: all multi cy young, all of those things. Think about

495
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: the big three, which would be Snell and Glad, snow

496
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: and and and Sasaki. Any team going into the season

497
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: would say, I'd love to have those be my top three. Guys.

498
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: This is the you just keep on going down a lone.

499
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: You gotta station. Yeah, it's I mean, really, this is

500
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 4: no matter what the Dodgers are. In fact, I don't know, man,

501
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: And this is bad news for you, Frostburg, because I

502
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: think pictures now in the off season are gonna say, hey,

503
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: the Dodgers want to give you a lot of money.

504
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: No, I can't go there, man, I'm just gonna get hurt.

505
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: I gotta go somewhere town. You can't give me bad news.

506
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: That's not possible. I gotta go someplace. Ouds like, yeah,

507
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: just gonna wind up getting hurt. Man, I want to

508
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: go there. Happens to everybody. What are we thinking here?

509
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring him back in right? I don't know, man.

510
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of pitches and I think

511
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: he's coming out after the I think The whole plan

512
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: was gonna be one inning, no matter what, unless they

513
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: had to get him in the first inning because he

514
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: threw too many pitches. He gave up three four. So

515
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: did you talk to Dave Roberts? How did you know that? No,

516
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm just saying for his first start in two years,

517
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be Hey, let's see how we feel.

518
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very regimented and one inning and that's it.

519
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: Because they also want to show pitched to no hitter,

520
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: you're coming out. They also they also want to plan

521
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: how are we gonna start things? How are we gonna

522
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: how we want to go this game? One inning? And

523
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: then this is our relief pitcher plan. You want to

524
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: make sure you know, Hey, you know you're coming in

525
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: to start the second inning, no matter what. Get ready

526
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: to go. You're coming in to start like this. This

527
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: is this is how I expect it to go. And

528
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: when they just cut to commercial, Otani was looking at

529
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: the iPad as a Dodgers like they were taking the field.

530
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: He was not grabbing his glove and his hat to

531
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: go back out there. So I gotta think this is

532
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: it for Otani now as we get to as he

533
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: gets more and more. Hey, okay, the next start, maybe

534
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more than any Maybe we think two

535
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: innings next time. Maybe it's more than that. But I

536
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: would see he's gonna be out and and look it

537
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: looks like Anthony Band is going to be coming in.

538
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: And this was the plan all along, was to go

539
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: and let him go one inning, which is smart. It's

540
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: absolutely it's out time for the band to try it.

541
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you feel great. If you're the Dodgers,

542
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: you feel great. You're holding your breath the entire first

543
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: and Anthy all of baseball is holding their breath the

544
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: entire first thing and going, oh, what's he gonna do? Oh, okay,

545
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: he's fine because look you want to see this, and

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: his pitches had life everything. There's nothing that I saw

547
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: that tells me, okay, I worry about him. Everything looked fun.

548
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: But there's been a lot of the thought pieces in

549
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: the background right as he's been ramping back up to

550
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: this moment of do you pitch him again? Yeah, like

551
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 3: obviously he wants to pitch, and it's part of what

552
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: the expectation was when he signed the decade long deal

553
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers and came over and part of the

554
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: reason to a degree that you pay him the extra money.

555
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: Right the unicorn aspect of it, say nothing of merchandising, sales,

556
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: et cetera. That I think you've already made that money

557
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: back and now it's you're earning interest on it, all

558
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: based on what you've been able to sell. But when

559
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: you look at he wants to go, and he wants

560
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: to give it another shot. And we saw it where

561
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: as he was recovering from the injury, sure as hell

562
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 3: didn't affect him at the plate or you know, running,

563
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: And we'll see what happens when he's on the base

564
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: pats whether that tamps down a little bit in terms

565
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: of trying to take an extra base and the stolen

566
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 3: base totals all of those things. But in the interim,

567
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: he gives you an extra arm for whatever innings however

568
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna use him, and Dave Roberts and the Dodgers,

569
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: they'll be judicious about it, and so long as he's

570
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 3: honest with them about how he's feeling in terms of

571
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: any of fatigue, twinges, all of those things, and then

572
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: everybody wins, and baseball wins.

573
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: Speaking of baseball, winning and winning at baseball, I'm gonna

574
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: take Well, okay, what do I do? You know, it's Monday.

575
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm feeling okay. You know, even though got swept. I'm sorry.

576
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: I was looking to see who had the best record

577
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: of the National League, and oh, it's still the Mets.

578
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: What was it? It was ten teams got swept this weekday.

579
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: One of them was the Mets. Yeah, it's true. Yeah,

580
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: and I'm still looking. We still have the best record

581
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, we still have the of the Rockies. Right, yeah,

582
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: we lost the right we lost nine to nothing, ten

583
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: to one, and fourteen to two. Or was it the

584
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: Orioles to the Rockies? No, no, the Orioles the Rockies.

585
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Did the Rockies beat the Orioles today? I think that's

586
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: did that happen today? I believe that that part of

587
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: the men's college world now that kid struck out nineteen.

588
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: It was Tampa over Baltimore one, you know, Washington and

589
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: the Rocky Rockies cut on the upside six four final.

590
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: I will tell you I'll take Yeah, since it's Monday,

591
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: I'll take the l on my Rafael Dever's trade prediction

592
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: that I made at the end of March that he

593
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: was going to be gone. By the end of April,

594
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: Devers gets traded over the weekend to the Giants for

595
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: a couple of Jag pitchers. And I mean, look, basically,

596
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: this was the Red Sox saying we're done. We're done

597
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: with you, We're done with the bad headlines, We're done

598
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: with with you not wanting to go play first base.

599
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: We're done with you bad mouthing the organization and telling

600
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: us what we need to be doing, when meanwhile we

601
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: screwed things up to Look, I'm not gonna sit here

602
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: in place blame because the Red Sox had to know

603
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: how Devers was going to react. When they brought in

604
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Alex Pregnant to play third base. You had to know

605
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: your player because he's been there a while. This was

606
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: a situation. I told her the end of March was untenable,

607
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: and I thought by the end of April he would

608
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: be dell. He started off what like forty five strikeouts

609
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: in his first forty six at bats that he really

610
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: got hot, probably because he wanted out, you know, leading

611
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: the league, leading the American League in RBIs. But I

612
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: knew this was going to happen because it was just untenable. Hey,

613
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: I know, we brought in a guy to play third base,

614
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: can you do No, I don't want a DH. I'm

615
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: a third basement. Okay, he's a better third baseman. You are.

616
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: We're trying to get better, okay. And you finally convince

617
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: him to be okay being the designted hitter. But then

618
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: your first baseman gets hurt and it's like, hey, you

619
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: want to go play first He doesn't want to do it.

620
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Like didn't you learn the first time when you said, hey,

621
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: he didn't want it. You only wanted to play third base,

622
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: and that's it. And you finally got him to DH.

623
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: Then when you asked him to play first base. That's

624
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: how it was gonna go. The situation was completely untenable.

625
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be a point where they

626
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: had to trade him, and they did, and the Giants

627
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: get a great player. It's a great trade for them.

628
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: They basically they traded away a couple of jag pitchers,

629
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: one who's young and maybe has a little bit of problems.

630
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: But really, this arn't This isn't anything other than we're

631
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: moving on from Devers and you're gonna eat all that

632
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: money that we gave him, and now we have money

633
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: to go move and go do something else, because I'll

634
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: tell you this, this is not gonna be a Red

635
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: Sox fire sales. Not suddenly here goes Duran and goes

636
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: all the other play. No, no, this is gonna be

637
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: the Red Sox saying we had to get rid of him.

638
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: We now have more money to spend. We can be

639
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: aggressive at the deadline. You've already seen some quotes from

640
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox saying we feel like we're gonna win

641
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: more games this year despite the fact we don't have him.

642
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: He was a great player. They just had to get

643
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: rid of him. And I knew it was gonna be untenable,

644
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 1: but I said, okay, by the end of April, Okay,

645
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: before the end of June, way before the trade deadline.

646
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: I'll take d L But I told you, I told

647
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: you was gonna get trade.

648
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, just ahead of five hundred in the standings right now,

649
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a mosh pit there. You look

650
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: at the idea of all the young up and coming

651
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: players they had. Now they traded a few away to

652
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: the White Sox to bring in Crochet. But you look

653
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: at it, clears paths that way, you get rid of

654
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: some of whatever's going on in the clubhouse. A lot

655
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: of reports that he wasn't necessarily not only on the field,

656
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: keen with whatever plans and yes and improv kind of things,

657
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: but also in terms of what the Red Sox expect

658
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: out in the community and such, not exactly being forthcoming

659
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: and get along kind of guy in that regard either.

660
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: So the old edition, by subtraction you lose, you know,

661
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: have younger players. We've talked with John Paul Morosi about

662
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: this and the promotion of a lot of young guys

663
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: across major league. So you get guys that get it, bats,

664
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: get innings pitched at the major league level. You get

665
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: to test them see if there's a market for them,

666
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: if you decide you are sellers. And for San Francisco

667
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: they get a huge addition to their roster because we've

668
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: watched free agency be a bit of an issue the

669
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: last couple of years in terms of bringing in big

670
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: time signings while discounts as a big time signing for

671
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,480

763
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 3: I mean, just off the charts. The hard part is

764
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: that it takes out one of the Cinderella stories of

765
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,080

Speaker 1: a Cinderella. Tell me one sport. Murray State is not

768
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: a Cinderella. No, it's a good question. I'm not familiar

769
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: with the rest of their sporting Everyone efforts. Yeah, sure,

770
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: there's not a shot put her off there?

771
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 3: No, no, actually no, you get crushed by Lesnar's daughter anyway,

772
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: not a one.

773
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Man dynasty and shot. But someone on the fencing team

774
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: that has risen through the ranks. I mean, I don't know,

775
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: but certainly in the.

776
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: Sports that we cover here on a regular basis on

777
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 3: Fox Sports radioh yeah, the underdog tag is always gonna

778
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 3: be there. I mean, watching the highlights of this and

779
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: just the form he looked just as strong on the

780
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: final pitch as the first pitch out of the gate,

781
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: like just I'm sure when would Dave Roberts had pulled him?

782
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh, probably with two outs in the ninth.

783
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: Oh all the way down.

784
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no, I'm not gonna be

785
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: fair to Dave Roberts. Probably after the seventh, after seventh,

786
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: yea seventh, then I'm not Roberts, is not that like

787
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: when he says, people think I'm the grim Reaper when

788
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: I go out to the mount. No, he probably would

789
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: have pulled him after the seventh. Hey, really good, great day.

790
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: At some point he's got to come out where he

791
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: he's got to sweat it off. But then when he

792
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 3: pull he pulls up his sleeves. He's going to the mound,

793
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 3: and it just looks like he's a skeleton. Like he's

794
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: coming out and he's got the bone.

795
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just want him to fly out like

796
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: a dementor from well, he's out of the dugout. I

797
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: just whipping around going, oh my godness, a day just

798
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: shows up. Oh my god, it's Dave Robert and he

799
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: just gets it and he gives and he gives the

800
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: picture the Mentor's kiss all of a sudden, you could

801
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: see the tiredness. Oh, all the energy leaving his body.

802
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to pull him after this. He's got

803
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: nothing left all there carrying him off the mound. Here

804
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: comes the bullpen. We're far better at programming these things

805
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: than the bananas or anybody else ever could be. I'll

806
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: tell you that. So congratulation Gage would an incredible once

807
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: in a lifetime performance being the play of the day.

808
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: I'll tell you right now we're looking at something where

809
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: Dylan ceases on pace to top his strikeout total.

810
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we'll see that still won nothing. Padres

811
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: over the Dodgers again. Show how Tani one inning, twenty

812
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: eight pitches, one run alowed. We'll have more on that

813
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: coming up tonight. Thanks to the crappy play by the

814
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: first place umpire Okay, okay, that it looked like many okay,

815
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: looked like Manny Mchatto could have struck out well because

816
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: of your eyes, it didn't happen. I can't lie to

817
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: people and say it happened when it didn't. It absolutely happened.

818
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: He went around No, but I mean they didn't call

819
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: him out on it. That's the problem. They went to

820
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: a review and they all concurred. Do you concur? I concur?

821
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: Do you concur?

822
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: Sure? So it looked like Manny Mitchatto could have been

823
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: punched out on strikes, but no, I was ruled not

824
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: to go around. You saw Otani's reaction. Machado hits a

825
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: sacrifice fly and there's your margin of the lead right

826
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: now for the Padres. One nothing in the second inning. Meanwhile,

827
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, as we told you, Oklahoma City playing a

828
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: dangerous game, didn't really look like they're playing with a

829
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: lot of sense of urgency. And the Pacers just keep coming.

830
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: It is now a four point Thunder lead nine minutes

831
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: to go in the fourth quarter. After a horrendous night

832
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: going on from Tyree's Aliburton, TJ McConnell's been rallying. He

833
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: got at the Pacers here. It's been amazing. But let

834
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: me just say this, Okay, the most irrelevant topic there

835
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: could possibly be, and really it only really comes up

836
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: when it comes about the NBA. Is that the NBA

837
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: Finals in the ratings, and look at where they are

838
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: and look how low they are, and I get it,

839
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: yes they're low. Some years are going to be lower

840
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: than others. Right when you if it was the Nicks

841
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: and the Lakers, or ratings would be great, right, same

842
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: to for different reasons. Yes, there'll be large ratings. But

843
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things here. Number one is you

844
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are consuming the NBA Finals

845
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: a different way. Right, you're watching on their phone, you're

846
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: watching it. There's so many different ways. Now, can you

847
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: really really say here's an accurate representation? Right?

848
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 3: All those illegal streams, outdated means by which to grab ratings,

849
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 3: all of those things.

850
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: But the bigger thing is this. Okay, so the ratings

851
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: are low. What's gonna happen? Tell me what's gonna happen?

852
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: Is the NBA gonna go away? Is the next rights deal?

853
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: Are they losing money? Are the TV networks gonna say

854
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: you gotta owe us money? Make goods? Like I'm in advertising, Hey, yomia,

855
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: make good. Nothing is happening except the NBA is growing.

856
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: The next television rating, the next television contract, and every

857
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: subsequent television contract is gonna be through the roof. It's

858
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: more and more money. Tell me what why? It's a

859
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: big Tell me what's gonna happen? If you gave me

860
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: a cause and effect for this, I would say, Okay,

861
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: you're right, there's no effect for this. The NBA is

862
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna be justified. Everything is fine. And again Kevin, like

863
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, says, you don't like it, don't watch It's okay.

864
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: Some of the people seventy six billion dollar deal. And

865
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: what I'd love is more the deep dive of what

866
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: Silver started to do in terms of how people are

867
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: consuming it through the different means social media, Twitch, all.

868
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: Of those other things. I'd like more data on that,

869
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: but certainly internationally still growing, trying to bury it. You

870
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 3: don't want to be part of it and actually watch

871
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 3: and break down the games. That's fine, go live. Nothing

872
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 3: rates like it did in nineteen eighty two. Basho exit

873
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 3: out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome. More on this

874
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: suddenly incredibly close NBA Finals game, plus the return this

875
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 3: weekend that we were all waiting for,
