Speaker 1: Greetings, Welcome inside final hour tonight The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: with my bes friend Mike Harmon.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: Moo job up right now?

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers trying to hold down the bottom of the ninth

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: in on top of the ninth in against the Yankees.

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Alex Vesia in to close out what right now is

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: an eight to five lead for the Dodgers. Is the

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Yankees bat Cody Bellinger up top of the ninth one

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: on one out uh ten or Scott former closer?

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: But then again, when you blow five saves? Chance are

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: you going to work a little bit? Less?

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Leverage comes in in the eighth inning in a spot

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: gets a fly out to center field. So okay, things made,

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Maybe things are turning for a little bit, But man,

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: five blown saves in two months.

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: That's a lot of blown saves. Mike Carmon got to

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: rebuild the confidence, rebuild the structure of the back end

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: of that bullpen. You paid a lot of money, figure

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: out what's going on tipping pitches, what's going on with

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: his set and has wind up everything else. And then

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 3: obviously that does mean that you've had a lot of

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: opportunities for him, So that I'll take the positive of

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: it that you're having the lead laid in the games

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: to give him an opportunity to blow.

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: US West Coast Edwin Diaz.

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: I know Edwin Diaz has been good this year and

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: he's completely really good.

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Yes, every three four years he has an incredible year, hego, boy,

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: want to give him a lot of money, and then the.

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: Next two three years are terrible. But yeah, it happened.

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: It goes in cycles. But I mean the stress level

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: it does get you. I mean there's no question about it.

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: You see him for sure out and the fact that

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: he didn't come back out for the ninth against the

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: top of the order, well you know you're momentarily deposed.

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: Now you have to claw your way back in.

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: Now. Look, now this gets into a big discussion, Well,

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Apple TV angle of this as well,

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: because look, this has been one of the games that

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: maybe the game of the year in Major League Baseball

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: so far.

50
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: The first seven innings were just so incredibly entertaining. I mean,

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: outside of everything. Pete crow Armstrong has been doing it.

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Stop, I stopp We're not bringing up people bringing that

53
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: guy yet.

54
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: We're not bringing that guy.

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: You good, Bro, you good. We're not bringing him up.

56
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: You're good, You're good. We're not bringing him up. We're

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: not now good not happening.

58
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: Mike said, I.

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Did never he never had a chance to be good

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: because we made a ridiculously bad trade for him.

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, Hobby Baez has had a fantastic career except

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: for the twenty nine games he played with the Mets. Well,

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: he's on the comeback trail now.

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: So Vessia closes out the game for the dog Dodgers

65
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: gets a fly out to center field from Bellinger a

66
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: line out to third to end it, and in the

67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: first World Series rematch, Dodgers.

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: Beat the Yankees by the final of eight to five.

69
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: That exit velocity was one hundred and forty seven miles

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: an hour third pace. That was like you staring down Winfield.

71
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: Please don't hit it to me.

72
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: So the thing is is that here's the Dodgers who

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: have problems closing, right if you know what we actually

74
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: we're doing some things now or seeing where we're at

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: because they brought in Scott to be their closure.

76
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: Look, when they started the season, they had three guys

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: that could close.

78
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Now suddenly because the Dodgers, no matter what pitching they

79
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: bring in, it's never enough. Guys are either ineffective or injured,

80
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: and there's nothing you can do. The Dodgers could have

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: fifteen starting pitchers and forty five closers and by the

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: end of May it's gonna be hell. The Dodgers dipping

83
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: into the minor leagues to bring up a guy to

84
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: starting of the bullpen.

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: They got to make some moves.

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna sign a former closer to a minor league

87
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: deal and bringing Edwin Diaz his brother.

88
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: So this is how it goes for the Dodgers. Well,

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: you got to note earlier Steve put it in the update, right,

90
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: Evan Phillips done for the years.

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean it's like spinal tap with drummers.

92
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, right, Otani has two home runs tonight,

93
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: and it's a big night for him, you know, as

94
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: a home run in the bottom of the first I

95
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: need to answer Aaron Judges' home run another one tonight.

96
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit sixty home runs this year. But the

97
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: big question with him is when's he gonna come back

98
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: and pitch. And what we've seen the last couple of

99
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: weeks has been him throwing like he may be getting ready,

100
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: and all we've heard from Dave Roberts at yeah, at

101
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: some point, yeah, at some point. We're not quite there.

102
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: There's still no timeline for Otani. We're gonna be nearly

103
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: two years away from him tearing his elbow the UCL

104
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: surgery before he potentially gets back on him mount Now,

105
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: I tell you this, is that really a smart thing

106
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to bring him back as a starter?

107
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Is that really a smart thing? Obviously he can't take

108
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: the wear and tear. Right, he's thirty years old. You

109
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: got what you could out of starter, but two bad

110
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: arm injuries. But his arm is still live. He can

111
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: still throw really well. The fact that he was throwing

112
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year looking like he's gonna come

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: back and then didn't come back like, I did something

114
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: happen when he tried to ramp up and throw in

115
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: the players, because no way, he's ramping up in the

116
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: playoffs just to get ready for February where he couldn't

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: throw again. So I wonder did something happen in the fall?

118
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: What happened there? But obviously his arm can't stand the

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: wear and tear. We have seen great pitcher even just

120
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: mediocre starters, you know, mediocre to good starters like Dennis

121
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: Eckersley and John Smoltz midway through their career, say you

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: know what, can't do it going to the bullpen, and

123
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, what do we see?

124
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: They gave become Hall of Fame players. Right.

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: Eckersley is synonymous with the greatest closers in Major League Baseball,

126
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: even though his biggest highlight is the home run to

127
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Gibson. But Smoltz did it, and O'tani could do

128
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: it too, right Otani. If you're looking for the right

129
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: way to bring him back, it's as a closer. Now

130
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: for a bunch of different reasons. Number one, well, he's

131
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: a designated hitter. If he c yeah, if he closes, yes,

132
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: you lose the spot in the lineup. But if he's

133
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: coming in to close, it means you're winning the game

134
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: and you're not worried about who's batting where, and if

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: something happens in the game's tied to figure it out.

136
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: You'll figure out the next day. We'll move on from there.

137
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Every it's gonna happen, right, we'll pinch it for the

138
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: pitcher when his spot comes up in the light. It's

139
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: it's not suddenly something that is really out of the outside.

140
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: The realm of all. We can't figure that out.

141
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: If he's pitching sixty sixty five innings a year, I

142
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: think that's doable, right either than trying to ask him

143
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: to go one hundred and forty hundred and fifty innings

144
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty ask him to go sixty sixty

145
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: five where he's not pitching back to back days. He's

146
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: pitching every third day. Maybe when you need him, it's

147
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: a bonus. He can close games. His stuff is still

148
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: really really good.

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 3: Right.

150
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: The guy's an All Star starter and the best hitter

151
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: in baseball. So it makes sense because that's the best

152
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: way to do it. You talk about the shot of

153
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: adrenaline it brings to the team. If Otani's coming in

154
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: to pitch the ninth inning of a game.

155
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: Forget it.

156
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: The crowd's gonna go crazy, the other team's gonna go

157
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: what the hell are we doing.

158
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna be three quick outs, We're going home.

159
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: But really, the Dodgers can help solve a big problem.

160
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: And that's the back end of the bullpen because Tanner Scott,

161
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: you can't trust him. You're always gonna have injuries. If

162
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: he's coming back to pitch, and I've said this, you know,

163
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: going on two years now. If he's gonna come back,

164
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: closing is how to do it for Otani. It doesn't

165
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: make any sense to try to have him come back

166
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: as a starter, worry about his innings, how far can

167
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: he go, and then have another arm injury because clearly

168
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: the stress of pitching six seven innings every fifth or

169
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: sixth day is too much on his arm. Now thirty

170
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: years old, two big arm surgeries. Time to make him

171
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: a closer.

172
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that becomes the question of how much

173
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: he's he able to dictate. Hey, this is what I

174
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: want to do when I'm ready. I'm ready, and I

175
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: only want to be a starter. Right, that's the billion

176
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: dollar question. Literally in all of this is what O'tawi

177
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: wants in the timeline. Because we heard going back to

178
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs, as you mentioned Jason that you know he

179
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: was ramping up by her clip with oral hershas saying, yeah,

180
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: I have no doubt from what I've seen and what

181
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: I've watched that you know he should be ready. It's like, well,

182
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: if you're not pulling the trigger, then what what am

183
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: I missing? Here? Is the algorithm telling you that another

184
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: injuries on the horizon and this time you don't think

185
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to bat if he has

186
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: to go through it again?

187
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: Right?

188
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: Is that it it's a time bomb. Uh. And it's

189
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: just a matter of when not if you get UCL

190
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: surgery part three plus whatever else goes along with it.

191
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: I mean that that's what I have to wonder.

192
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Right.

193
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: You talk about torque, you talk about velocity and how

194
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: many innings he can go. The difference between starting pitcher

195
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: and and being you know, crafty as you come back

196
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: from injuries. Say, I get it. Craft normally a hazer

197
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: for south baws, uh, you know, and junkers. But here

198
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: we're talking about a guy you know, you learn to

199
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: pull the strings and pitch and it's not about max velocity,

200
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: but if he's a closer, the expectation is he's bringing

201
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: the heat with every pitch, so stressful innings, all of

202
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: those things, and trying to be judicial judicious about it

203
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: because it's a long term investment and it's a guy

204
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: with two years and where he's been rehabbing from injury

205
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: while trying to play and all that, so the added

206
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: stress there. It really is a curiosity though, because the

207
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: Dodgers managed it well last year, what was it, seventeen

208
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: starting pitchers plus the litany of bullpen guys. It's a

209
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: year of living dangerously. But it looks like we're headed

210
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: back toward that path right now. I'd love to see

211
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: him back on the mound, but it's the if it's

212
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: going to potentially deprive me of a you know, a

213
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: year and a half or two years of him hitting,

214
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: No thanks, I'll be just fine with you. Finding some

215
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: also ran that the pirates are giving up on.

216
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: A we'll take that Skens guy. Yeah, we'll just get

217
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: in from you. I wasn't even winking and nodding towards him.

218
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: I just used it was either that or all right,

219
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: go rate the White Sox or the Orioles or whatever

220
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: else the you know.

221
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: The the obvious sellers at at said deadline. But yeah,

222
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: it is the the question that that persists of with

223
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: all these bullpen sessions, and to a person it's like, wow,

224
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: he's got such a live arm and it's popping and

225
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: it's all this like, so, why is it the brave

226
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: heart or glady? You know, at my signal on leech

227
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: hell or hold hold, and now it's September one, I

228
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: was like, all right, go ahead. I mean, I don't

229
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: know what what the the strategy is. And obviously Dave

230
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: Robertson as good as he is with the media and

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: is giving as he is oftentimes, and you're not gonna

232
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: you sell out that part of the equation at this point.

233
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna give us the euphemisms. But it is a

234
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: curiosity for those of us watching this team every day.

235
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: What do you think, Frostburg, what do you like like

236
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: that idea or not?

237
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: Well, do you want the latest update?

238
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: Give me the latest update? Sure, the second home run

239
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: or what?

240
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's going to be the direct play of

241
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: the day.

242
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: Obviously, the exit for Otani, the exit Veilo on that

243
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: home run.

244
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 4: Heidi Watney just asked show, Hey, Otani, when we can

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: expect to see him on the mound?

246
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: Wow? Okay, did you preface it by saying Tanner Scott stinks,

247
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: we need you.

248
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: It's not going to go that low.

249
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: Whatever. What are we going to see your show? Hey?

250
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Hey, whenever I see Tanner on the mount, I start

251
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: getting my heart loose. They might need me here. Okay, God,

252
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: what we got, Frostburg? What do you got for that?

253
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: He told the broadcast. He chuckled and said, you have

254
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: to go talk to Andrew Friedman about that.

255
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, all right, there you go, complete abdication of responsibility.

256
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: He was watching the NBA Western Conference Finals. He went

257
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: full a man, I don't know. I has said. It's

258
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: not my fault.

259
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: He didn't miss.

260
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: That's true. I look, I mean it makes sense for Otani,

261
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: it makes sense. It makes sense, says the Mets fan.

262
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: I got it trying to help you.

263
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: Man, this is a double truth.

264
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 4: It's all about how this is all about having a

265
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: chess piece in the NLCS. Buddy, I'm just dude, Let's

266
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: make him the closer and said nobody ever, I.

267
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Don't want to see him pitch and close against the Mets.

268
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: Because we're probably gonna we probably.

269
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: Lose onination would say something that.

270
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: Just what you'd wait? There a nation?

271
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Now, well, everybody's a nation now you know it's Raider Cowboy.

272
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: There's all nations all over now. Yeah, well we knew

273
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: that there's Harmon day. It's everybody that dressed this in

274
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: purple clothes and wears shorts all the time of different colors.

275
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: Well, I got to downsize and though that's the thing

276
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm redoing the wardrobe, so all new purple merch. That's

277
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: Harmon nation right there.

278
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: Uh now, are you okay, John, because here here's a

279
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: big question. Now, yeah, I gotta ask you know, in

280
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: my best.

281
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: Passing, you have to ask you good bro, because you.

282
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Didn't get to see the game tonight because it was

283
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: on Apple TV. Are you okay with that? You okay?

284
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: Then let's see it.

285
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know what. I think it's criminal, Okay,

286
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: people should probably be jailed.

287
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, you get the needle.

288
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: Let's call it what it is. This game needed to

289
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: be on national TV.

290
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: He's so Frostburg is not okay with.

291
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 4: So you set the game back fifty years.

292
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Look at me, I'm a wreck, you know, every time

293
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: you hear that, that sets the game back fifty years.

294
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: Like when I think we go, boy, that means that

295
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: sets it back to the mid seventies.

296
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: That's crazy, not like that. We're talking about bird camping

297
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: eras and that's a sound.

298
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sets the game back to nineteen thirty. No, no, no,

299
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: it's like, no, it sends the game back to the

300
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: mid sevenes. No, that's the year Carlton Fiss is waving

301
00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: a ball fair. Come on Garvy and and and the

302
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: Yankees and get Drie.

303

Speaker 1: Show Hey, o Tani, you get to be the play

343
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: of the day that.

344
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,880

346
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: Show touch first touch him all uh.

347
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers Radio Network on the call, Yeah, rounding first show,

348
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Hey missed first base, so likely if depending where it

349
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be, he's gonna have to go back. Now

350
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: ball was over the fence because Aaron Judge was you know,

351
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: made a big leap at it.

352
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Couldn't get it.

353
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Hey goes back touch his first base and then goes

354
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: on and runs the rest of the bases. So show

355
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: he missed first base, but it went back and touch

356
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: it all the way around, and that makes him the

357
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: play of the day.

358
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: See I had I had an alternate in case show Hey,

359
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: you know we decided he's just a wizard. We expect this.

360
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: H There was a flyout uh to end the top

361
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: of the eighth that was induced by Tanner Scott.

362
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, congratulations Tanner Scott in a little bit lower

363
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: leverage situation, three run lead, but a couple of runners

364
00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: on no I came.

365
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: He was Okay, yeah, but for fantasy purposes that gets

366
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: him a hold, didn't it?

367
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: H If your league does not, you know what, Not

368
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: all leagues do holds. I've noticed, and it's a it's

369
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: a weird thing because not a lot of fantasy leagues,

370
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: like in the leagues I've done, they've done holds and

371
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: not done holds. The leagues that do holds, people that

372
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: play it tend to get mad because holds are almost

373
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: as valuable as saves, and it really doesn't make any.

374
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 3: Sense thaty to have a hold.

375
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: So most of the leagues I've played in, you don't

376
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: really get anything for you just get the stats for

377
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: whatever they come in.

378
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 3: Okay, well the box score says it's as fifty the year,

379
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: so you have yourself a day Tanner Scott way to go.

380
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: So we got more baseball coming up in a bit,

381
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: but a big story out of the NFL. This has

382
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: been another week of what is happening with Shador Sanders

383
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: in the earliest quarterback derby that any of us have

384
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: ever seen. It's the end of May, and yet every

385
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: day brings us all kinds of drama with a guy

386
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: who has been the most controversial player in college football

387
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: going into the draft, coming out of the draft right now.

388
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: This has been another great week for him in seven

389
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: on seven drills, everything going on. Look four quarterbacks they

390
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: have now it's Sanders and Dylan Gabriel and Joe Flacco

391
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett. They're all battling it out. And another

392
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: week where Shador Sanders played really well. Now, how much

393
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: stock can you put in seven on sevens? It's the

394
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: news that happens now. But the good news is he

395
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: is playing well. And my advice for him now because

396
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: every day seems to be one of two things. You

397
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: get a story on him throwing the ball really well

398
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: on seven on sevens, and then the next day you'd

399
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: get a story like did the dude really blow his

400
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: entire signing bonus on a Rolls Royce?

401
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: Like did you really? Because that was a story this week,

402
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 3: did you really buy a Rolls Royce? Like?

403
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that keeps coming up with him,

404
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: and it's knuckleheaded stuff and the best advice, and you know,

405
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: he tamps it down and says, look, I don't know

406
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Didn't do it on if I'm

407
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: giving him my pr advice, And clearly he's someone who

408
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: needs it. The shocking advice I would give him is

409
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: just keep doing what you're doing right now. You're on

410
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: the field, you're playing well, you're about football, you're succeeding.

411
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: Everybody's noticing how you're coming in, they're noticing your skill set.

412
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: With the Browns.

413
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: I know there's not a lot of reps and there's

414
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: somewhat of a of a glut right now with four guys.

415
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: But if you do this, everything's gonna turn out fine.

416
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: No knuckleheaded stuffcause that's why you fell to the fifth round.

417
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: If it's knuckleheaded stuff that starts keeping you down, it's

418
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: your own fault.

419
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: Don't do this.

420
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: Keep your dad away, keep away whenever something comes up,

421
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: because you know people are gonna steep trying to bring

422
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: things up that has happened to you, what you've done

423
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: in the past. Be about football, because I'm telling you,

424
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: if he's about football, Mike, by the time we get

425
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: to the fall, it's gonna be a question of is

426
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders going to be the starting quarterback for the

427
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: Browns week one or will Joe Flacko start.

428
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: For a few.

429
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: Weeks, Sanders gets used to the NFL and then he

430
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: jumps in sometime in October, because I'll tell you that's

431
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: the scenario the Browns are dying to have right now.

432
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: They have numbers at quarterbacks, like, okay, we got four guys,

433
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: but eventually somebody's got to go because you don't have

434
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: enough rep for everybody. You're not gonna keep all for

435
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: them and other teams. Yeah, I could see you getting

436
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: a draft pick for Kenny Pickett. Hey we need a

437
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. We like Kenny Pickett. We'll give you a

438
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: very small draft pick for him, or hey, we kind

439
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: of like Dylan Gabriel if he's not winning. Yeah, it

440
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: was a third round pick, but one of those guys

441
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: is gonna go right and it's gonna be Flacco and Chador.

442
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: Sanders are gonna be the guys that are gonna be

443
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: fighting for this job. And it may not be Sanders

444
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: right away, simply because I can see the brown saying, hey,

445
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: he's been really good, but we don't want to rush him.

446
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: The last thing they want to do is have him

447
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: start Week one, have the game be too fast for

448
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: him and he's.

449
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 3: Not used to it.

450
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: They want to be able to go, Okay, when we

451
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: go to you, you're our guy. So I see this more.

452
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: As long as this is what he does. Be about football,

453
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: and he's been about football, and that's great, right, be

454
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: about football.

455
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: Keep doing this.

456
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: By the end of the summer, guess what, it's you

457
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: and Flacco, and likely you will be the starting quarterback

458
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: of the Browns by the beginning of October. Now Flacco

459
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: starts out and throws two touchdowns a week for the

460
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: first month and he's got okay, then it's gonna be

461
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but likely that's gonna be the scenario,

462
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: because even though you're a fifth round pick, doesn't matter

463
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: the desire.

464
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: To see him play.

465
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: As long as he is playing well, he'll play in

466
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: the preseason, he'll get his chance to shine. That will happen,

467
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: and he's gonna wind up starting by October at the

468
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: latest for the Browns.

469
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the end, they got their guy several rounds later.

470
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 3: Whatever lessons learned, right the stay hungry. You could start

471
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: playing that song in the background if you want, and

472
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: you just kind of go through the paces. Dylan Gabriel

473
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: is a guy that he'll be a nice quarterback somewhere else.

474
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: Kenny Pikett, super Bowl champion, probably somewhere else. Joe Flacco,

475
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 3: the KG veteran again Super Bowl champion. I remind you,

476
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: even when they were winning with him and that roster

477
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: and everything, where they got to the playoffs, he had

478
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: several games and his touchdown the interception ratio overall was

479
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 3: not good. He put the ball in arm's way. Some good,

480
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: some bad, and overall it's the year of living dangerously.

481
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: But you're hoping that somewhere along the line, Gabrielfi sticks around,

482
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 3: and certainly Sanders. You learn from a guy who's been

483
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 3: what is this year sixteen at this point? Was he

484
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight draft class? I mean, you look,

485
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: I think I think it was.

486
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: I think he was wrapped in the nineties. I really

487
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: think I got to go back a little bit for.

488
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: Him all the way. I mean, he is that throwback guy,

489
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: but all of that wasn't the question.

490
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: Way, who do they take him or Gino Toretta in

491
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: the third round?

492
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: I think that was the big choice. Nicely done. But

493
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: the point, it's a good reference, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

494
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: I was waiting for you to double back to that. Anyway.

495
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: That is that is a pretty good pull. You want

496
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: to you want to explain to people who don't know.

497
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: Who explained to Blena they threw a football over a mountain.

498
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: It. Yeah.

499
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: But but all that to say the gen X Geno Touretta,

500
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: you yes, man, that was that was.

501
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 4: The beginning of talking about the guy from Fast and Furious.

502
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: Gino Toretta was a better actor than Vin Diesel.

503
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: Right now, there's people right now out leaving a bar

504
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: going no telling you, man, that was his name.

505
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: That was who Vin Diesel was Gino Torretta, look it up, man. No,

506
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 3: all that story was that he was a quarterback in Might.

507
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: All I see is Geno Toretta losing in a big

508
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: game to Alabama.

509
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't understand. No, that's not him, man, it's not him,

510
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: all right. Sorry, But but all of that to say,

511
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: it's you're not going to be able to control any

512
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: of these side show things, right. I mean, we just

513
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: did the the story all week of the w n

514
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: b A and the alleged racist comments, chance noises, whatever else,

515
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: and after a lengthy review, we have no idea how

516
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: many man hours and people were put on this thing. Well,

517
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: we weren't able to corroborate that this ever actually happened,

518
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: and nobody from the team ever claimed they heard it,

519
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: But look at how much noise, how much that costs

520
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: the league for a week. Right, You're talking reputation and

521
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 3: questions of how they handle things and adjudicate issues or

522
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: maybe go down rabbit holes they don't need to by

523
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: not standing up saying yeah, nobody saw anything, We'll be vigilant,

524
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: move on. But it's the kind of thing you can't

525
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: control one hundred percent what goes on in the interwebs, whatever,

526
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: unless we have access to Shadur Sanders banking records. I

527
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 3: don't know. He had money from his family and he

528
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 3: made a lot of money in nil. If he spent

529
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: five hundred grand on a car, guess what, I'm guess

530
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: he's got more than five hundred grands sitting around.

531
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking, yeah, I'm thinking if he was gonna get.

532
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: A Rolls Royce, that's a d I think I got you, man,

533
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: don't worry. I got you. I'll got you. I'll give

534
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: your money. I got one. Even if he did, who cares. Uh,

535
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: he's gotta drive a car? Is it the thing I

536
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: would do with my money? No? But but all of

537
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: that to say, you're gonna have those stories circle circling

538
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: around you no matter what you do. So the only

539
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: thing you can do is go between the white lines,

540
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: go into your meeting room, be a good teammate, be

541
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: a good leader. Uh, maybe look in the rear view

542
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: mirror a little bit for some of the issues you

543
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: had when you called out your offensive line, when you

544
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: started barking at guys as you're going off the field

545
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: that you just dominated. Why I mean, now you're just

546
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 3: punching down you know, all of that, like those kind

547
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: of things. Leave that alone, go play. The Browns have

548
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: a decent roster. Right coming into last year was all right,

549
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: are you're gonna get any kind of quarterback play? Well,

550
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: clearly the Deshaun Watson experiment, as it was a complete

551
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 3: Nutter failure disaster. His injury takes him out of the equation,

552
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 3: but otherwise they've done some pretty good work building a roster.

553
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: So for Shdor Sanders, the opportunities there to go and

554
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: win this job. And for the Browns they could look

555
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: like geniuses because they paid him an awful lot less

556
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: than they would have if they'd drafted him as many

557
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: suspected they would have in the first or second round

558
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: of it all. So now you have the opportunity to

559
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: go win, and the other three guys that are on

560
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 3: the roster. Yes, it's a numbers game, all right. Any

561
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: of those guys world beaters. Yeah, you got two super

562
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: Bowl champions. One's light years from being there. The other

563
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: guy was along for the ride, you know, the one.

564
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: The one little bit of a wrench in these plans,

565
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: I feel is this is that. Okay, So you have

566
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: the four quarterbacks, right, it's Flacco, and it's Picket, and

567
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: it's Gabriel, and it's and it's Sanders. Now, clearly Picket

568
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: likely is gonna be the odd man out, right, because

569
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: now he's the he's a backup. But if you have Flacco,

570
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: and you have Gabriel, who you like and obviously because

571
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: you draft him the third round you like him. And

572
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: then Sanders, who for some reason he said, oh we'll

573
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: take a quarterback and then we'll take another guy. He

574
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: seems to be the odd man out. But I'm gonna

575
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw this at you. Flacco decides to sign right,

576
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: and they talk. You know, you're gonna be the starter,

577
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: and he knows that that Deshaun Watson's out for the year.

578
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play. He's not gonna come back to

579
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: the team. Kenny Pickett is there, Okay, I'll beat out

580
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett.

581
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play.

582
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: If it turns out, then it looks like he could

583
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: be losing the battle, all right. He could be losing

584
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: the deal to stay or to starter. Sanders winds up

585
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: taking things really better than you expect. Like there's there's

586
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: a part of me that thinks Flacco might just say,

587
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I've had enough football and I'm done.

588
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lose.

589
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose a Derby to shador Sanders and

590
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: sit and back up when I'm just gonna go home

591
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: at that point.

592
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: So that's one thing. Trade him back to Indianapolis. He

593
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: can go fight with Danny Dimes for them.

594
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: The Colts have enough issues man with Daniel Jones and

595
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson.

596
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: Come on, man.

597
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: So you know that's the one part that could put

598
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of a wrench into the plans. But

599
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: then it would just be okay, Pickets the backup, and

600
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: genero Sanders.

601
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: Is a starter. They'll keep Dylan Gabriel.

602
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: So but I I there is a thing where if

603
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: Sanders does play really well, and all of a sudden

604
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: it looks like there's no we're just postponing the future.

605
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: If we keep them out, then he'll wind up starting.

606
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: But I still the most likely thing is it's him

607
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacco. The fans are gonna want him to

608
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: start right away. Flacco's gonna start. Stefanski will make the call,

609
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: the fans will go crazy. We got to see him play,

610
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: and once he gets used to the NFL for about

611
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: a month, he'll wind up playing.

612
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 3: That's how it's gonna go. Now, let me throw this

613
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: the other wrench in while while we're gonna really muck

614
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: this up. Is go back to the Kenny Pickett part

615
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: of things. I got super Bowl winning quarterback, Kenny the

616
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: super Bowl champion that try get that. I forgot get

617
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: that title, right, I understand. I really try to make

618
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: sure I get that in each and every time. But

619
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: remember we've talked about you know, the joke was Chicago

620
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: where quarterbacks go to die? Right, Cala Williams, Dad, We've

621
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: been talking about Pittsburgh in the quarterback situation quite a bit.

622
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: So is Pittsburgh one of those places that we really

623
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: don't know how good or bad Kenny Pickett is to

624
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: some degree. And then he goes to Philadelphia. But then

625
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: he goes to Philadelphia with a staff that's good and

626
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 3: well renowned for what they do. And now you go

627
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: to Stefanski, who mean, he couldn't do anything with Deshaun Watson.

628
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: But that's what Watson's doing and we acknowledge him as

629
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: a top tier coach. Is it possible that you can

630
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: unearth something else that was there for Kenny Pickett all along?

631
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: Wow, all of a sudden, I freed Kenny Pickett. I

632
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: let you know what I mean, Like the Baker Mayfield thing.

633
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: Right, Well, he was in Cleveland and he was okay,

634
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: flashed every once in a while, but overall, now it's

635
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: not working. Move on, and then he bounces around a bit,

636
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: and now all of a sudden, he's, you know, a

637
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,160

00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: only people that aren't gonna like it are gonna be

796
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: ESPN and ESPN executives who are gonna say this is

797
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: damaging for the brand. We can't keep having all these

798
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: stars fight with each other. I can't have Pat McAfee

799
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: calling me saying, dude, what the hell is up with

800
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: inside the NBA. They're gonna be eating maylocks and ums

801
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: by the boatful next year, trying to figure out every day?

802
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: Can we just not have one day where someone says

803
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: something about somebody else on our air. But I'm telling

804
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: you it's gonna be outstanding, because they are. They're gonna

805
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: light the world on fire.

806
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: But that's just it. If it's good for ratings and

807
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: adverge tizing and whatever else, you'll you'll take the may

808
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 3: lox and you'll do it happily. Uh.

809
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: But then people are gonna make demands and they're gonna

810
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: feed I'm not happy. And then then people are gonna

811
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: want out of contracts. And that's not how ESPN does it.

812
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: ESPN doesn't do it with that sort of level of

813
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: I can't even say jocularity.

814
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: They can't.

815
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: They'll do with that with that sort level of content

816
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: to where they're happy about it. They don't like that,

817
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: and that's all it's gonna be. Now in a year,

818
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 1: it's that's all it's gonna be with these guys.

Speaker 1: a shot from half court and it bounces off the

834
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: back of the rim and up and it hits off

835
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: Larry Bird's head and bound down through and they win

836
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: and everybody is making the choke gesture and fans are
