17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: we sit the United States getting shut out by Venezuela

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: in the World Baseball Classic Championship. They have all of

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: two hits against Venezuela's pitchers. Tonight they are coming to

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 1: back story. I Frostburg will get to it in a second.

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: I gotta say, what's going on. Who just come out

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: right away and say, yes, it's all Nolan McLain's fault.

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: It's all Nolan McClain's fault. All Nolan mclan Oh, it's

24
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: not Nolan McLain's fault. He has pitched seven innings in

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. How many runs has the United

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: States scored in those innings?

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: That's not the story.

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: That is a grand total of zero.

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: He needs to be perfect. You know how this works.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 4: There is no room for our error. There is no

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: margin for deep flies to straight away center field against

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: a guy named a bray. You there's none of that,

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: especially when the United States offense stakes.

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: The United States coming to bat bottom of the seventh inning,

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: but they have been limited to zero runs on two wits.

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: And Arta rod Reguez, who honestly, I thought he was

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a star back in like twenty nineteen. He

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: went nineteen games. He was real. I'm like, Wow, this

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: kid's gonna be a star. And then you know, his

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: career just kind of went. He's got a five ERA

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: the last three years. And here he is tonight and

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: into the fifth inning allowing just one hit to Team USA,

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: who has just not been able to hit right now

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: so far, and again there's still three days left to go.

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: But the right thing to say about the World Baseball

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Classic so far, if you want to say, I'll throw

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Noel McClain out there. McClain and his pitching in the

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: World Baseball Class, he's gonna wind up pitch in two

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: games the United States was uh, Nolan McClain is kind

50
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: of the what United States stands for in their tournament

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: so far in that mcclin's been good, but he hasn't

52
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: been great. Right Like tonight, he was good, like his

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: his pitches were moving. Venezuela clearly had the idea we're

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna get after him earlier in the count. It was

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, it was a great strategy. And you know

56
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the wild pitch that was a tough one because that

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: allowed the run to come in on a fly ball,

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: a bray you take some deep but it's still it's

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: two runs, right, it's two runs. United States should be

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: on the board more with this lineup against Venezuela, and

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: they're not. And that's kind of been what the US

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: has been for the whole tournament. They've been good, but

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: they've not just gotten that next gear and and you know,

64
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: at times we see it, just like at time tonight

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: we saw mcclin throwing a couple of wipeout pitches and

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: now we can argue about that. But like overall the

67
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: United States, you see them hitting and see Bryce Harper

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: has been hitting second the entire tournament's hitting a buck

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: eighty five. He's been terrible, right He's been absolutely awful.

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: Bregman is not hitting the ball, judge after that first game,

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: has not been hitting like you only have a couple

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: of guys on the team that are hitting. It's just

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: not been where the United States is coming and gelled quickly.

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: And that's the thing with these tournaments is that you

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to jel pretty quickly. Now again,

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: still three innings left to go, still try time to

77
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: figure it out. But right now that's kind of where

78
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: the United States is. They've been good, they've not been great,

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: and they haven't quite gelled that you would expect him to.

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: That's where they sit right now.

81
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a little frightening when on a base

82
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: hit to right field, it was like it was a

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: grand Slam to take the lead. When Bryce Harper got

84
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: a hit like that, that's where the offense has been

85
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: that well.

86
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that many. We got to celebrate Price.

87
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: But as a squad, not exactly Murderer's row, excepting name

88
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: only and past performance. Currently scuffling would be the kind

89
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: way to say he got out of a little bit

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 4: of a funk. For for Bobby Witt Junior, he's right

91
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: back in the hole. Schwarber just strikes out here to

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: lead off the bottom of the seventh UH and Zurpa

93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: bringing the heat. So like, you've just got a team

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 4: that has never really gotten into the the flow the

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 4: big innings. We saw a short burst where we had

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: a couple of home runs for the for the US squad,

97
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: and just as quickly as that came, that went away.

98
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 4: I mean, McClain giving up too, and you gave got

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 4: four and two out of them. That's about all you

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: can hope for, right We talk about it all the time.

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: When we get to the Major League Baseball regular season.

102
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: If I can get my start to basically go five

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: and only give up two runs, I'm feeling pretty good.

104
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: About my life most of the time.

105
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, big stage, big stakes, and the puckering is now

106
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 4: at a record level as we get into these late innings.

107
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look for when the game started, I'm like, okay, WBC, Okay,

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: I get it. The World Series is not like this.

109
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: Right when you had both teams walking out, you know,

110
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: behind their flags, and the stadium is dark, and you

111
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: see the phones taking the pictures and everybody is just screaming,

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, okay, okay, you want it, you want it.

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: You showed the world. Yes, it's not like the World Series.

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I get that, and I get the level of where

115
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: we're at right now. But man, I'll tell you, the

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: United States has not put a runner in scoring position.

117
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: That's the story in nine or ten innings. Dude, you

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: can't win if you don't score any runs. I don't

119
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: care how good you pack.

120
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: You also can't win a game when you start a

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: net you can't win, dude, Nobody last night we were screwed.

122
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: We have other teams that have not that have been

123
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: represented on this team and not talk not.

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 5: Just talking about this team that decided to start the

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: met in the biggest game ever.

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Well, I will say, if if Tarik Schooble wanted to

127
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: be there, they'd have started him. If other guys were

128
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: would have been there, they would have started them. Yeah,

129
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: McLain is going to be a great picture for a day.

130
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: He's already he was not. But did you bet on

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: the game? Frostburg, I feel like you better. You feel

132
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: like you bet? I feel with a starting, it's like

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: it was done to you personally. It's like McClain decided

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: to do this and it's flipping you off. When he's

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: walking off.

136
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: What they were doing is flipping off the country by

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: starting that guy.

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would love to have Nolan McLain on your team.

139
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Just stop.

140
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: He couldn't make the team.

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: But if look, would I rather have school? Sure of

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: course they would.

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: But you only anybody else.

144
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not like give up eight runs, you give

145
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: up two runs? Mann, two runs, he's fine, Yeah, because

146
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: they haven't scored because they can't. You can't win. Doesn't matter.

147
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, man, it doesn't matter what happens when

148
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: you can't score. It's not if he gave up five

149
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: runs or six runs and it was Wow, this is

150
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: just awful. McClean just completely just threw up on himself.

151
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: I get it. But the United States hasn't hit, man,

152
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: they haven't hit. They can't hit these these these pictures

153
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: that are just guys like Ose Bhuto is a guy

154
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: that you know the Mets. You know he's in and

155
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: out of their bullpen for a while he's pitching. Well,

156
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: you can't say it's just Mets. He came out of

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: the bullpen for Venezuela and pitched pretty well. Now it's over,

158
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, Is it that Nolan McLean stands

159
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: for garbage and queens? Now this is right because I

160
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: feel really feel like you bet on this game and

161
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Harmon for the first time hasn't. Because Harmon hasn't brought

162
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: up any of the runs, any of the any of

163
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: the you know what the over under is, or any

164
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: of the in game betting it you're bringing up how

165
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: upset you are, like the United States did this to

166
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: you personally?

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's exactly what this is.

168
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: Let's say it was minus two forty minus one and

169
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: a half was the run, and the over under was nine.

170
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: Get in Bryce was for eighty six early this morning

171
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: and drifting higher. Those were for single seat nosebleeds h

172
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: in anticipation of this matchup. But yeah, certainly, h the

173
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: money line you'll get at plus one ninety five for Venezuela.

174
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: Jason. I even look at his computer or a piece

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: of paper for all that either.

176
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: No, he knew that. No, he's like he's like the

177
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Matt Damon Goodwill hunting of gambling numbers. Now like he's

178
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: he's got them all right off the.

179
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: He's surpassed that.

180
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just wait till Thursday, baby, when we start

181
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: talking in a beautiful mine. Hey, is that Harris sick?

182
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Can you see it? At Harris my garment? Can you

183
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: see him?

184
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 4: I see him? And his wife is dressed like a do.

185
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: You see blue?

186
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: And she's running after me.

187
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: He's running after me, and there are a bunch of

188
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: little kids chaos.

189
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: You're my boy, Blue, Blue, You're my boy.

190
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: Uh So it's glorious.

191
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Of the seventh inning, two outs, the United States just

192
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: got a walk, so they do have a runner on

193
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: first with two outs. Pitching change going on for Venezuela.

194
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe Venezuela has as many pitches as they do,

195
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: considering uh. The story coming out of today was that

196
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Venezuela was contacted by four teams who had pitchers pitched

197
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: yesterday in the in the semifinal game against Italy, and

198
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: they have they asked Venezuela. Do not throw our guys

199
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: at pitch yesterday today, right, like you had four teams

200
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: say yeah, this is great, yeah, country and everything, it's awesome.

201
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah we're with you man. Yeah, yeah, yay, waving our flight. Yeah,

202
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: don't throw our guy again today, which yeah, we're done,

203
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: We're done. Don't throw our guy today.

204
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 5: Right.

205
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: It's it. It shows you just the weird dichotomy and

206
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: difference between this event that you're either that you're wrapped

207
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: up in or you're of the ilk that says, yeah,

208
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: this is great, but I want this to be over. Right,

209
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: I'm pointing to my watch, going let's get this over

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: Let's get everybody back healthy. We got with you know,

211
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: the season's coming up in a couple of weeks. We

212
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of uff happening here. I want my

213
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: guys healthy. Yeah. It was fun for a little bit.

214
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: But now these guys are going and it's emotional and

215
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: they are really throwing all out and you see the adrenaline.

216
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: Guys are getting more miles an hour on their fastball.

217
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: Teams are going, oh my goodness, these guys are they're

218
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: they're they're they're struggling too much. They're they're going too hard,

219
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: too fast, by what are we gonna do? You just

220
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: see that the difference of what it's like from Hey,

221
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: the faction of people that are all in on this

222
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: and we have to win in the excitement level at it,

223
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: and then there's the other side that's, yeah, let's uh,

224
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: let's get our guys back and uh, let's make sure

225
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy.

226
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: No, there's the excitement, but the larger business of it.

227
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Right.

228
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: You recognize players want to be in, or at least

229
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: a number of them do, and so you're trying to

230
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: be judicious about it, trying to keep those relationships good

231
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 4: and solid, because if you tell them no, you can't go,

232
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: you're ours, blah blah blah. Oh, that's not exactly setting

233
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 4: up beautifully for the next contract, especially for some of

234
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: these guys, where you know, what's gonna be contentious, right

235
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 4: if you preclude them from these events and their teammates

236
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: from all these other nations come back and talk about

237
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 4: what a great experience it was. Uh, and they're sitting

238
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: there going, yeah, they didn't want me to go, they

239
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: didn't let me go. You think that's gonna sit well?

240
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: And suddenly, hey, my arm's a little stiff, or my

241
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: legs a little tight. I think I'm gonna take this third,

242
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: second and third game of this series in April and

243
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 4: May and June off, and suddenly we start getting into

244
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 4: some of those issues like we see in the NBA

245
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: where where guys are just dipping out because now they're

246
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: at odds with their their organizations. Right, it's a it's

247
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 4: a delicate balance trying to do an event like this,

248
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: and I keep seeing the yeah do at mid season.

249
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: It was like, what, You're gonna take a three week

250
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: break in the middle, like it would require a longer

251
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: break and you're still You're still gonna have the same issues.

252
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: Yet teams that are gonna still be like, Okay, yeah,

253
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: now we're we're pennant chasing and we're gonna let this

254
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 4: guy go pitch noah.

255
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Like people think that if we had it in the

256
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: middle of this season, teams are gonna say, yeah, take

257
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: our guy one hundred hundred and twenty pitches whatever you need, like.

258
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 4: He's ready to go.

259
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna say the same thing. We're gonna limit is

260
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: it. It would be the same thing no matter where they

261
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: play it on the calendar, because at the end the

262
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: WBC is a made up event that's had a great

263
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: last twenty years and it's become a part of the calendar,

264
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and this is kind of how it's just going to exist.

265
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: There's always gonna be the percentage of teams and fans

266
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: that are gonna treat this as it's a necessary evil.

267
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: It's not my favorite thing in the world. I don't

268
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: like giving our players to it, but we do because

269
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: it makes money. It's a big deal. Look, the viewership

270
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: for this WBC is the highest ever, So it's not

271
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: going anywhere, and there's gonna be people that love it

272
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: and can't wait in every two years, Oh my goodness,

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: the excitement level, greatest thing I've ever done in a

274
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: baseball field, X, Y and Z everything with the WBC.

275
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: That's just how it's going to go. We're always this

276
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: is a story that's going to repeat every two years

277
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: that we have the WBC. We're gonna say the same

278
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: things for the Double D b C every two years

279
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: while this is going on. The same argument is that

280
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: nothing new is gonna happen. This is just how it's

281
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: going to go.

282
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: You get excited or you don't. Either way, you're holding

283
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: your breath that's it, right, if your high leverage players

284
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: pictures in particular are part of the organization and part

285
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: of this event. Yeah, there's gonna be a little bit

286
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: of you that is anxietist as a fan and certainly

287
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: as a front office person, which is why you know,

288
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 4: the schoolbl thing is awkward and odd as it was.

289
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 4: You can't you can't blame anybody, right, there's just the

290
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: all right, if this goes south, then what do we got?

291
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: We're left holding the holding the bag. So I understand it.

292
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: It's like anything. I don't have to like it, but

293
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 4: I understand.

294
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: We need one change though. Moving forward.

295
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: I think I know what he is gonna say, Jason.

296
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: Jason will sign up for that a heartbeat.

297
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: Everybody gonna be okay.

298
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: I will say, hey, no no, if you want, buddy,

299
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: if you don't want to take any mets, I am

300
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: absolutely okay with that because I don't have to worry

301
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: about No, I'm okay. This is where this is where

302
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: your reason This is where your reasoning and my reasoning

303
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: is this. It doesn't matter. It's different, but it's the

304
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: same thing. It's it's the it's we make ends meet

305
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: the same way. You don't want the Mets there because

306
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: you think they stink. I don't want them there because

307
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't want them to get hurt. Hey, there's a

308
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,800

00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,680

368
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: He's not coming in, not coming in. He is the

369
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: pitching coach for Venezuela. Hey, I know what I'm doing.

370
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: Machado has walked the REP batter in front of Bryce Harper.

371
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Harper and Judge Witt gets a two

372
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: out walk. So here we are now the United States.

373
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: The tie run at the plate. Bryce Harper in his

374
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: one eighty five WBC average, but he does have a

375
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: hit tonight, so there is that right now.

376
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 4: Mike Harmon pretty good. Uh let's see the Johann Santana

377
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 4: and Bryce Harper didn't see each other a lot uh

378
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: in during his major league baseball career.

379
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

380
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: I was trying to see if there was some un

381
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: decided advantage one way or another. It would be great

382
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: if you you want satanic hold on, now give me

383
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: the ball. It's going one second. Wait one second. I

384
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: love Bryce Harper. I don't care what I said about

385
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper before. I love Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper is

386
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the best hero. Bryce Harper. Dun dun dun dun d.

387
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, a reversal of fortune, Bryce Harper

388
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: has homerd to right center field. He is taking his

389
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: time around the bases, saluting the crowd, pointing to the

390
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: United States flag on his arm. He is screaming, crossing

391
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: the plate two to two United States and Venezuela Ella

392
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge coming up in the bottom of the eighth inning.

393
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Bryce Harper is the hero. Where

394
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: all I had to do was call him out. Sea's

395
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: in one to eighty five, Right, That's all I had

396
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: to do is call him out. Look, I motivated Bryce Harper.

397
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Now I get what Dombrowski was doing saying, Hey, I

398
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: don't know if Rice Harper is still elite. Oh, he's

399
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: gonna motivate the guy like I did right there.

400
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 4: Well, like I said the Johann Santana matchups, that where

401
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: he's looking for into history. He broke in any kind

402
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: of rhythm in an expert work that we'd seen from

403
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 4: this leaguered bullpen. Instead it's a four four and a

404
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: thirty two foot shot. I was enamored with the glowing lights.

405
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 4: I want to know what they gave out. As you

406
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 4: have the red, white, and blue, little flashy things going

407
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: all around the ballpark. You want to talk about electricity.

408
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: The guy's jumping out of the dugout. There's all the

409
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 4: life that everybody kept complaining wasn't there in Team USA.

410
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was no doubt about it. He absolutely crushed

411
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: it to right center field. You doubt it, Brent, Brent Well.

412
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's terrible man, he's even he has And look

413
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: what happened. I got a home run. USA should send

414
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: me a ring when we went. I don't know you

415
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: get rings for the WBC. I don't know. They should

416
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: send me a ring if they win this. I motivated

417
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper.

418
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: You had nothing to do with it.

419
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: He stopped crossing third base ostensibly. I'm pretty sure he

420
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: stopped so the cameraman could catch up with him, because

421
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: he knew the cameraman would follow him down the down, down,

422
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: down the line to the plate, and he wanted to

423
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: stand and point to the to the flag on his arm.

424
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: He slowed down. I'm pretty sure so the cameraman would

425
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: catch up with him. That's a baller move, man, that

426
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: is an absolute baller move.

427
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: You'll be back to hating him in exactly nineties.

428
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Whoo and that's okay, that's okay, like and the funny

429
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: thing is right tonight, like Harper had a bad at

430
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: bat first time up, and I saw Harper. I said,

431
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: oh man, I said, come on man, he just had

432
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: a horrible tournament. And my wife is watching the game

433
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: with me. She goes, I thought you hated Bryce Harper.

434
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, but I love Bryce Harp for tonight.

435
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: I love him these two weeks. I can go back

436
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: to hating him next week. I can go back to

437
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: hating him again tomorrow. It's absolutely fair. We have a

438
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: very short term truce, and then as soon as the

439
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: final out is recorded, one way or another, you get

440
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: back to hating.

441
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: No. But Jason said too much too. He went too

442
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: far with the hatred.

443
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: He can't.

444
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: You can't do this.

445
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: No. I hey, it's like Herb Brooke too far. Well,

446
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm just like Herb Brooks and Miracle right. He everybody

447
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: hated Herb Brooks, always talking all that, but he motivated

448
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 1: them to win the gold medal. I motivated Team USA

449
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: and Bryce Harper to tie this game. I did you know?

450
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: I did one hundred per.

451
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 4: Your answer, and Tanna didn't have any throws in that

452
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: lefty arm of his, you know, go lefty, lefty.

453
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, they're all saying him, dude, what the hell did

454
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: you say to him on the mound, man, everything was fine?

455
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: The hell did you say to him, Hey, don't blame me, man,

456
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: not my fault. I just walked out there and said,

457
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, when my arm was dragging, when the Mets

458
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: left me out there to pitch that no, when I

459
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: threw one hundred and eighty seven pitches pretty much ended

460
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: my career. I wanted to stay out there because it

461
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: was that important. You stay out there and you pitch

462
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: as well as you can. Here.

463
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 4: Okay, it's like when the the hot microphone was in

464
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 4: wrestling in the eighties and they didn't realize, uh well,

465
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: sometimes you'd get quiet in a match, right, especially the

466
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: ones that weren't just really four five minute works. It

467
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 4: was a long drawn out match. You'd hear Rick Flair

468
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: whistle and you know, whisper and get up and let's

469
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 4: walk around the ring.

470
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: Let's go.

471
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: It's almost like Santana has said, like, we need, we

472
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: need something for this, you know, give him one.

473
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge strikes out, looking on a pitch that looks

474
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: kind of low if abs was a round. Well, he's

475
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: nine feet tall.

476
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, it is a onion.

477
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: For crying out loud, so Judge strikes out looking we

478
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: would go to the ninth inning. Venezuela and the United

479
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: States and the World Baseball Classic now tied to to

480
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: apiece in the championship game. And now Nolan McLain is

481
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: off the hook. Now he's off the hook. Not his

482
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: faultle A Frostburg. You know, now you can just be

483
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: quiet about the Mets and the WBC and all. No, no, no,

484
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: he's off the hook.

485
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: They should be up to nothing.

486
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: It should be too zip going to the ninth and

487
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: Mason Miller's coming into closing off the hook. Uh so

488
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: again we're headed to the top of the ninth Venezuela

489
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: and the United States now oxygen back into the stadium

490
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: in Miami, and it's a zero. He held them down. Hey,

491
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: if he let up another run, they'd be losing.

492
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 4: He actually shocked.

493
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 3: He didn't give up seven runs.

494
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: He kept it to two. Listen, just because I can't

495
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: find any Dodgers on this team doing anything. And oh,

496
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: by the way, Will Smith, oh for three to night,

497
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: don't sit here, just got met. Look at least at

498
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: least the World Baseball Classic, the Mets. They trusted the

499
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: Mets to bring players in there, Unlike apparently we have

500
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: rusted Dodgers a little bit to come play for Team US.

501
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 3: Trusted him.

502
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 5: They said, basically, Venezuela, here, we're gonna spot you two runs.

503
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 4: I did show Frostburg the the swing on that pitch

504
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 4: that was riding inside on will Smith. That was one

505
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: of the more awkwards swings and results.

506
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll see where it's actually gonna hit him, and

507
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: he's swinging at it. So we're headed to the top

508
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: of the ninth inning a brand new World Baseball Class

509
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: A Game two two Venezuela and the United States. We

510
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: have that big NFL trade coming up in ninety seconds.

511
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: But first, a management called the Aaron Judge of Fox

512
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Sports Radio because he just watched that pitch going for

513
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 1: strike three without swinging two. It's Steve de Seger.

514
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 7: Well, actually I did swing here in the studio. He

515
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 7: did motion no bad in my hand, kind of like

516
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 7: Aaron Judge tonight, who's oh for four with three strikeouts.

517
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 7: The Americans have tied it up against Venezuela. It is

518
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 7: two to two in the top of the ninth of

519
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 7: the final of the World Baseball Classic on Fox TV

520
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 7: from Miami. The Venezuelans had picked up a sack fly

521
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 7: top of the third, right after a wild pitch set

522
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 7: it up, and in the top of the fifth, a

523
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 7: leadoff homer from williaer A bra you. Eduardo Rodriguez from

524
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 7: the d Bags. Great start for Venezuela. He hasn't pitched

525
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: like this in years. Four and a third, scoreless innings,

526
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 7: just one hit allowed. Nolan McLain of the Mets was

527
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 7: the US starter, went four and two thirds the two

528
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 7: run pitch just like.

529
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: This a few days ago. There you go, Rodriguez has

530
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: it pitched like this since twenty nineteen. McLean pitched like

531
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: this a few days ago.

532
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 7: His first inning of a few days ago was similar

533
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 7: to what he was doing with the sweeper with the

534
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 7: twenty inch breaks. Four strikeouts for him. Unfortunately, Luisa Riaz

535
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 7: has just led off with a walk in the top

536
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 7: of the ninth against Garrett Whitlock, the new reliever for

537
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 7: the US, and they say US closer Mason Miller is available.

538
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 7: That's a guy who not only keeps throwing one hundred

539
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 7: and two miles an hour, but has ten strikeouts in

540
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: four innings of work in this tournament. Venezuela the team

541
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 7: that upset Japan last Saturday night, and then won at

542
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 7: semifinal just last night in Miami against an Italian team

543
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 7: that was five and zero. Team USA won two to one,

544
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 7: low scoring game last Sunday night against the Dominican Republic.

545
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: By the way, in the.

546
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 7: TV ratings last weekend, just by comparison, Fox on Saturday

547
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 7: had the Big East Men's Basketball Championship. It was Saint

548
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 7: John's over Yukon, and it was Fox's largest audience they've

549
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,200

00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 7: audience ever here in this country, and for FS one,

555
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 7: its largest audience for anything since twenty nineteen. Cubs outfielder

556
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 7: Sea Suzuki has a strained knee ligament. He was hurt

557
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 7: last Saturday. Yankees pitcher Garrett Cole coming off Tommy John surgery.

558
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 7: We'll pitch an inning Wednesday. He's due for his regular

559
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 7: season debut late May or early June. Let's get to

560
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 7: the Knicks game tonight, shall we, because we have to.

561
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 7: Jalen Brunson of New York is not the MVP.

562
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: We're so good we don't need him. We don't need him.

563
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 7: Well, if you played Indiana every night, sure you don't

564
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 7: need him. Ankle and neck injuries the problem for Jalen Brunson.

565
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 7: So Josh Hart scored thirty three points, and Hart got

566
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 7: the postgame interview on MSG.

567
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: When did you know you were going to have this

568
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: kind of night? When I knew Jala wasn't playing, so

569
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: he wasn't going to hog the ball. So there you go.

570
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 4: Those guys are the best together. I want a comedy

571
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,320

Speaker 7: Shay gilgis Alexander with forty points and about thirty seconds

580
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,600

581
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 7: one sixteen. Milwaukee star Jannison and Acompo out. He'll be

582
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 7: re evaluated in a week knee injury. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards

583
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 7: out for a week or two with knee inflammation, but

584
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 7: Minnesota has won at home against Phoenix, won sixteen to

585
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 7: one oh four. The NCAA tournament is underway. Halftime, Texas

586
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 7: leads thirty to twenty nine against NC State. Howard eliminated

587
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: UMBC eighty six eighty three, so it'll be Howard against

00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 7: Michigan on Thursday night. NIT victories for Oklahoma State and

589
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 7: Wichita State. In the NHL overtime wins for Minnesota and Montreal.

590
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 7: The Dolphins traded wide receiver Jalen Waddle to Denver, which

591
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 7: gives up first and third rounders. Again. It's two to

592
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 7: two top of the ninth Venezuela and USA in the

593
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 7: final of the World Baseball Classic. There was a steal

594
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 7: of seconds, so Rudder at second chance for the lead.

595
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 7: The US is challenging the safe call at second back

596
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 7: to you, yeah, this is.

597
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: A close place. Snoha comes in to pinch run for

598
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Arias who draws the walk and Will Smith's throw is

599
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: in the dirt, but on one bounce Bryce Terrang grabs

600
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: it sweep tag. The call on the field was safe,

601
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's gonna wind up standing because

602
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: it looks kind of simultaneous. I don't know that you

603
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: can over you can overturn. This looks like the tag

604
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: is in there. Also, ball moves a little bit in

605
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Terrang's glove, so and it looks like we're getting it. Yes,

606
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: it's been it's been upheld. So runner at second. Now,

607
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: nobody out for Venezuela, a two to one count on

608
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Suarez fault, still shaking from swinging at that pitch that

609
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: hit him. Yeah, he throws a forty eight foot down

610
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: the second vase. So it's a little more on this

611
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes. Obviously a lot of

612
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: drama here again, run around second, nobody out top of

613
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. But a big trade in the NFL today,

614
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: huge deal. The Dolphins trade Jalen Waddle to the Broncos

615
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: in a deal that my eyes bugged out when I

616
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: first saw it. The Broncos are getting Jalen Waddle and

617
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins fourth round pick. Meanwhile, the Broncos trade a

618
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: first round pick and a third round and a fourth

619
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: round pick to Miami in exchange for Jalen Waddle. Okay, now,

620
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: this is one of those cases where did Denver overpay? Yeah,

621
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, right, because the last Jalen Waddle's put

622
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: on a three year downturn in that But then again,

623
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins have been in a three year downturn.

624
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: So did they overpay for him a little bit? But

625
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: that's the market right now. You have to overpay because

626
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in free agency was Alec Pierce

627
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: A right, So I mean, come on, man, I mean

628
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to figure something out there. So they

629
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: overpay for him. But it's a great trade for the

630
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: Broncos because Jalen Waddle is legit. He is He's someone

631
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be able to line up anywhere on

632
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: the field. He's physical, He's exactly what the Broncos need.

633
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: They need a number one receiver. They have tried to

634
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: make it work with a combination of different guys over

635
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: the course of the last couple of years. Waddle is solid,

636
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: he stays in the lineup, he doesn't miss many games.

637
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: This is a this is a great move for Denver.

638
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: They get the guy they need. It's a first free

639
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: agent that they the first new guy they've brought in,

640
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: haven't signed. Anybody knew it did, just been bringing back

641
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: guys from their team this past year. Albeit when you

642
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: go to the AFC Championship game, you host it, you

643
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: don't have your quarterback. All right, you're you're kind of okay,

644
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: you feeling out. We're pretty good. Let's just adde we

645
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: need to you add a big number one receiver who

646
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: you need to. Wattle's gonna be great in this offense. There,

647
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Miami Dolphins. They are now putting out what

648
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: is almost a master class in tanking. Right, we told

649
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: you this from the beginning, Right, Miami and the Jets

650
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: are the two teams that need to tank the most

651
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: this offseason. From the beginning, we knew Miami was gonna

652
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: do it. When you knew they were gonna move on

653
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: from two oh, when they were gonna let Tyreek Hill

654
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: go all of these things, you knew they were tanking.

655
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: Now Malik Willis would seem to be a head scratcher

656
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: on It's like, okay, if you're tanking. Why Malik Willis?

657
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: Why'd you give them three years and sixty seven million?

658
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: You could have got Geno Smith to come in and

659
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: just do whatever, Like, why did you do that? But

660
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: it really is a great move by by the Dolphins

661
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: because tanking is not a sure thing. Right, they signed

662
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. Who knows how he's gonna play this year?

663
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: They have him all this year. He's gonna be starting quarterback. Right.

664
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: If they were in to really play well, they wouldn't

665
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: be trading away all the weapons that Malik Willis has.

666
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Is he really gonna make the team better? With Malik

667
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Willison is there, He's gonna make everybody look good. He'll

668
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: be throwing a Jimmy Ceffalo and Jim Jensen and Mark

669
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: Dooper and Mark Clayton. Oh, he's gonna be great. No,

670
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: But just because tanking is an inexact art, what do

671
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: you do if you don't get that number one or

672
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: number two pick right? What if you can't get arch Manning.

673
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: What if you can't get Dante more or whoever else

674
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: rises up this year? What if you win a couple

675
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: extra games and you're picking sixth and you're not getting it?

676
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: As long as Malik Willis is good. He's your quarterback still. Hey, hey,

677
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: he was played pretty good last year. It's okay. We

678
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: can now take all of these draft picks because a

679
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins doing an incredible job. I think the Dolphins and

680
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Jets have all the draft picks now. Are they doing

681
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: a great job getting what they need so they can

682
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: finish the tanking this year, get what they need in

683
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: the draft and next year as well. So if if

684
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't work out tanking, they have a quarterback. If

685
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: they get the number one pick, guess what they're trading away.

686
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Milik Willis. Someone's gonna take him. As long as he

687
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: doesn't throw up on himself all year, someone will take him.

688
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: If not, he is someone that look, hey we got

689
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: to eat two years and thirty million dollars whatever it's

690
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: going to be. The rookie we're paying is on a

691
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: rookie contract. The quarterback's on a rookie deal that we're

692
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: getting that we have money for. That's built in. So

693
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins really did a smart thing that's kind of

694
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: hedging against the tanking. Where is there really gonna be

695
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: a difference between Malik Willis and Gino Smith? How much

696
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: is there now just in case they don't get their guy,

697
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: they have somebody they could go forward with. I don't

698
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: know they're gonna win many more games, but they have

699
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: their guy. This is the Dolphins play. They are just

700
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: steaming towards the full tank for this season. Yeah.

701
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 4: Now they just need to trade off eight Chen and

702
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 4: they'll have completed the task. And I finished the assignment.

703
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 4: All right. He's in the final year of his deal,

704
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: so at some point before the deadline, as long as

705
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 4: he's healthy and running well, he'll get spun off somewhere too.

706
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: But you look at pairing up Sutton with wat On

707
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 4: in his thirtieth pick overall, Okay, fine, second round pick.

708
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: You give bow Nicks another another guy who's a sure

709
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: handed receiver. And we've watched the last couple of years

710
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 4: of Miami. Things have been spread out. You had the

711
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: one year where you had John hus Smith catching eighty

712
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 4: eight balls. That kind of changed the complexion of how

713
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 4: you were operating your offense, and you leaned into eight

714
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 4: Chan's legs a bunch more. But now you look at Sutton,

715
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: Waddle and Tony Franklin. That's pretty good threesome and your

716
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: offensive line, assuming everybody's healthy. You've given Bo Nicks everything

717
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: he needs to go out and succeed. So from the

718
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: Denver side of things, I'm mighty intrigued. Miami, you're into nothing.

719
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: Malik Willis's contract is nothing. I mean twenty million each year. Fine,

720
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 4: and you get to watch him for a year. You'll

721
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 4: figure out, all right, is this the coaching staff where

722
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 4: we've got labeled and locked in going forward? Great?

723
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: And he's your guy on a minimal veteran deal. I

724
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: mean twenty million dollars is nothing.

725
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 4: And obviously it's a coaching staff that watched him in

726
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: Green Bay. They believe they've got a deal, and you

727
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 4: start building from there. The long road begins with the

728
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: first step. They've got a lot of baby steps before

729
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 4: they get back to competitive football as they battle your

730
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 4: Jets for the basement.

731
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: In the East masterclass, chef's kiss for the Dolphins, chef's

732
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: kiss for this tanking. It's it's ot. This is how

733
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: you do it, man, it's how you do it. They'll Jets,

734
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: yeah they probably will. Yeah, they probably, but they'll probably

735
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: wind up making a trade that gets them the leap

736
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,080

795
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: once every eleven or twelve years, Bryce Harper, you get

796
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: to be the play of the day.

797
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: Harper sends a.

798
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,600

Speaker 1: Big Fox on the call cheer and Homer by Harper

801
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: tied the game in the bottom of the eighth. However,

802
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, Venezuela pushes across a run in the

803
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: ninth inning, leadoff walks. I'll tell you, man, managers, I

804
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: got a feeling every manager who's ever managed a game

805
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball or ever had any stakes goes

806
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: to bed at some point, you know, twenty thirty years

807
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: after they've done and go that leadoff walk in the

808
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: ninth inning of that game, that leadoff walk in the

809
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: eighth inning. What I still think about walks. You know

810
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, major League go all the way back down. Well,

811
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm watching what we're watching. Major League is at any

812
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: level even managers. Here, Uh, the leadoff batter of the

813
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: ninth inning for the United States, Kyle Schwarber is down

814
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: on strikes. So the United States down to their final

815
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: two outs. Gunner Henderson up pinch hitting for Alex Bregman.

816
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Bregman was hitting about a buck forty three, Gunnar Henderson

817
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: hitting four twenty nine. But now he didn't need to

818
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: play the entire tournament? Uh, you know, need to play?

819
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Was it? At it? Although Henderson didn't fare any better,

820
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: he popped up to third for the second out of

821
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: the inning. So now the United States is down to

822
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: its final out. It's too high Baseball Classic Roman Anthony,

823
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: all that's standing between Venezuela and the World Baseball Classic Championship,

824
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of questions from Mark de Rosa and

825

Speaker 1: giving up a run, walking the lead off batter of

835
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: the ninth inning and giving up a stolen base and

836
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: Will Smith bouncing the ball to second. Yeah, you're saying,

837
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: lots of bad things happen when Whitlock gets involved.

838
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 4: Never good.

839
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,520

841
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Smith bouncing that throat a second that would have had

842
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: the out, would have been out.

843
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 5: Of I'll cover the real story of can't put a

844

Speaker 5: Dodger on this teaar.

845
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,880

00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: game for four innings. Man four innings. He was gone

847
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: before Harper hit that time.

848
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,200

851
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the United States should be. It should have

852
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,759

872
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:33,959
Speaker 4: truth hurts.

873
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: You know. I think, Frostburg, you're really entering Steve Buscemi

874
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Billy Madison glad I called that guy a territory here

875
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: a little bit.

876
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 5: Oh.

877
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 4: I thought you were going with his argument about you know,

878
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: waitresses and serving staffs because eventually folks wanted their dollar back.

879
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 3: I think what Jason's saying is he pictures me with lipstick.

880
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: On, crossing names off. After all, right, well crawl that guy.

881
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: People to kill Billy Maddison.

882
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 3: Hell of a visual there, Smith.

883
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: But okay, so we'll have more on this. John Paul

884
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: Morosi MLB Network Inside will join us from Miami next

885
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: hour of the show to break down the United States

886
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: losing to Venezuela three to two. But before we get

887
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: into the NCAA tournament. Right, so we have first four

888
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: game going on right now, Texas and North Carolina State

889
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: midway through the second half. You want sunny side up

890
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: because I'm here for sunny side up for Major League

891
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: Baseball and the WBC. Following the United States loss, right,

892
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: this is gut This is gutting for us. We should

893
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: have beaten Venezuela like that. I thought, you know, coming off, Hey,

894
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: there's no Japan. We beat Dominican Republic. This is gonna

895
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: be easy, right. I was counting this as another here's

896
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: another big championship for the United States. I had checked

897
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: that off my box. And clearly we didn't get you.

898
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 4: You assumed everybody had gone and seen Joe bu and

899
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 4: given him his offer tory rum. So suddenly the bats

900
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 4: were gonna wake up. I mean, the only positive is

901
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 4: that the silver spot price is about eighty bucks an ounce.

902
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 4: That's about all you got coming out of this man,

903
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 4: second place, first loser.

904
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: I was checking it off. We're gonna we're gonna win

905
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: this and we lose. Now the best part of this, right,

906
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: because think about this, Baseball in general is on a

907
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: springboard right now in popularity and relevance, the excitement level

908
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: of the game, the attention of the game is returning

909
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: to levels we haven't seen in years. And I'm saying,

910
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: let's go back like to the late two thousands, right,

911
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: you know, going back like fifteen years. We have not

912
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: seen the excitement level, this excitement level in baseball since

913
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: the end of the Yankee dynasty. And then we hit

914
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: the the you know, the twenty tens, where okay, Baseball

915
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: really took a back seat to the NBA, and the

916
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: NBA was, you know, making a run. NFL has always

917
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: been number one, But now you have Major League Baseball

918
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: making a run where people say so many great things

919
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: about the product. Product of the NBA is and the

920
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: toilet according to people you listen to, Oh it's terrible,

921
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: it's yeah. Yeah, the NBA is fine, don't worry about it.

922
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: But Major League Baseball is having that moment in the

923
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: last few months, the last couple of years, with the

924
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: Dodgers becoming the new Evil Empire, sho hail Tani doing

925
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: things we've never seen in baseball before. World Baseball Classic,

926
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: seeing how all and everybody is what an exciting made

927
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: for TV event. This was all the talk of the

928
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: umpires and the and the and the abs and moving

929
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: the tournament. This has grabbed us. Baseball has grabbed us.

930
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: The WBC is moving on, and now we go back

931
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: to this, back to spring training. Everybody's hitting the beginning

932
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: of this season at a at a peak. I'm telling you,

933
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: the the importance and the popularity of baseball is in

934
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: a big springboard right now, and you're gonna see all

935
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: sorts of records set this year when it comes to

936
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: attendance and television and money and sharing money and revenues,

937
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: you are gonna see that this year baseball is getting

938
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: back to the level that it was at going back

939
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: about fifteen years. Look, you need dominant teams, right, You

940
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: need a team like the Dodgers that everybody can want

941
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: to see play and root for or root against. Right,

942
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: we had it with the Yankees for so long, but

943
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: they have not really been that team until the last

944
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 1: couple of years. Right, They had kind of a downtick

945
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: after they won the World Series back in two thousand

946
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: and nine. So it's it's been a bit, right, it's

947
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: been a minute, But this is now. MLB has really

948
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: hit the jet stream now and it's a great time

949
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: and being a baseball fan like you and I have been,

950
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: all of us are here, you know, we love talking

951
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: about baseball. We love baseball, and it's really it's awesome

952
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: that it's having this moment right now where it's never

953
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna get back to being the true national pass and

954
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: it's never gonna catch the popularity of football, but to

955
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: get back to where it was when it was, Hey,

956
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: everybody watched, everybody cared, everybody knew the stars. Everybody cared

957
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: about the stars. Yeah, it's getting back to that level

958
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: right now, and I couldn't be happy. Yeah.

959
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 4: I just think going all the way back to the

960
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: surge the second half of the nineties, I remember chuckling

961
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 4: because you know my then why you know, she was

962
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 4: traveling internationally and she always laughed. She goes, baseball had

963
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 4: kind of gone into the back burner for you. And

964
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 4: then I go away for a few months for work

965
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 4: and for school, and you're spending a lot of time

966
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 4: at the Oakland, Islameda County Coliseum. And thanks to Yahoo

967
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 4: for those free tickets and suites where I was able

968
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 4: to bring people and reintroduce them to the game that

969
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 4: I loved as a kid, and to get back to

970
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 4: it right coming out of the strike and those the

971
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 4: home run chase of ninety eight Cal Ripken Junior rounding

972
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 4: the bases and the chaos there. We've got all of

973
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 4: that surging once again for Major League Baseball. We'll talk

974
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: and Steve had some of the numbers off of the

975
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic and the big television ratings that you

976
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: had in the weekend, and coming into this week, we

977
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 4: talk about the top viewership markets This is a graphic

978
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: that came out from from Fox Sports pr are from

979
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 4: the pool play in Kansas City, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, San Diego,

980
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 4: and Milwaukee were the five biggest television markets for the

981
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 4: Pool Play and those numbers really amped up. And now

982
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 4: for Major League Baseball, yes, it's a nice springboard going

983
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: into the regular season. And it's good to have that

984
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 4: unifying villain that is the Dodgers right now, right heroes

985
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 4: to some villains to other. That's good for the game.

986
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 4: Hopefully they don't screw this up, right, the inevitability of

987
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 4: a work stoppage and whatever else, you're gonna have people

988
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 4: going through the turnstiles. We've seen it in spring training.

989
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 4: We've certainly seen it here. As to a man, You've

990
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 4: got the Venezuelan team with tears coming down their eyes

991
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 4: after winning this and what it means to them.

992
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, hopeful, Hopefully as a collective, both sides recognize

993
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: the money that's on the table and they don't kill

994
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: the golden goose that they.

995
00:48:58,120 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: Have right now.

996
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 4: The interest in the game being as high as it is,

997
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 4: the money flowing in from all of these streaming partners

998
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 4: and corporate partners that have come on board. You've got

999
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 4: everything laying at your feet right now. Don't screw it up.

1000
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1001
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: This story kind of goes hand in hand with the

1002
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,479
Speaker 1: World Baseball class. It was just look, just a couple

1003
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we watch United States win the gold medal

1004
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: in hockey at the Olympics and Jack Hughes with the

1005
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 1: big goal in overtime to win it. And look, that's

1006
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: a moment that. Look, it's gonna be the best moment

1007
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: of the year in sports. The rest I don't care

1008
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: what happened, It's gonna be the moment of the year.

1009
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: And he did an interview today with ESPN in which

1010
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: he said, Hey, I want my puck. I want the

1011
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: puck that I scored the game winning goal to win

1012
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: the gold medal. I want that. That's my puck. And

1013
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: there was a very big story after the game was over.

1014
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: E didn't know where it was. Nobody knew. And I

1015
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: can't believe in this day and age, when you know,

1016
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: with memorabilia being such a big deal, Hey, whoever scores

1017
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: a goal here, this puck is gonna be worth a

1018
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,720
Speaker 1: lot money. Whether it's doesn't matter if it's Connor McDavid

1019
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: or Jack Hughes, makes no difference. Right, this puck is

1020
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: and you know you got to make sure you grab it.

1021
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: No coach grabbed it, no player grabbed it. Nobody thought

1022
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: for a second, oh hey, let me go grab this

1023
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: for Jack Hughes. Right, because that's normally what you do.

1024
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 4: You not have Nate the Great's equivalent on the of

1025
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 4: the kitt squad, right, the equipment guy whoever at the

1026
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 4: end of the bench.

1027
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: That is your job. You go find it.

1028
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: I wonder it's not the wonder kind anymore. No, kid,

1029
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: it's not kid, it's kid. It's okay. Uh so he

1030
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: wants it back. Now we knew very shortly after that

1031
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: somehow the International Hockey Hall of Fame got it and

1032
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: they have it on display. They have Megan Keller's puck

1033
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: on display. Big deal. Hey, we're celebrating hockey now. To

1034
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: hear Jack Qes say again today, I want my puck.

1035
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't want it for me. I want to give

1036
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: it to my dad. My Dad's got all stuff for

1037
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: the three of us, you know, the three Hughes brothers,

1038
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: all playing in the NHL, and I and I want

1039
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: my puck. Now, when I say something stinks about this,

1040
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't mean something stinks to the effect that, well, hey,

1041
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes is being screwed in this situation. When I

1042
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: say something stinks about this, It's just never seemed right

1043
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden nobody knew where the puck was,

1044
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: no one said anything, and all of a sudden, the

1045
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: Hockey Hall of Fames. Oh no, we got it. Wait wait,

1046
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: how did you how did you get it? How'd you

1047
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: get the fuck? No, we got it, we got it.

1048
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: It's on display right here. Oh oh okay, you just

1049
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: you just got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it.

1050
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean how the Hall of Fame just has it

1051
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: and suddenly it's put on display already. It kind of

1052
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: feels underhanded a little bit. I need, I need, I

1053
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: need some explanation on it, because it like, it doesn't

1054
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: seem right that suddenly, hey, here's the pucket. Yo. Oh

1055
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: it's gone and I took it and it's now going

1056
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame. Oh okay. Like if somebody

1057
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: hits a game winning home run in the baseball playoffs

1058
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: in the NLCS ALCS World Series and a fan gets

1059
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: the ball or it bounces somewhere. Does the Hall of

1060
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: Fame get No, they don't. Now, Hall of Fame does

1061
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,439
Speaker 1: not get that puck. Somehow, somebody is at that ball,

1062
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: somebody picks it up, somebody gives it to the right

1063
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: person on the team, and they get it to the

1064
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: player who hit it, whatever it is. But somehow the

1065
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame got it. Like now, I'm thinking somebody

1066
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: went on the ice and grabbed it like in gred

1067
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: and and didn't and didn't and did it like in

1068
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: a very Oh, I didn't know you were looking for

1069
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: this kind of way, like, hey, we can go get

1070
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: that puck and we can have it and put it

1071
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: on display. It's a big deal for us. It just

1072
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: feels kind of underhanded that the way this was done,

1073
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: Like I would almost like to see them explain it

1074
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: and offer it back to Jack Hughes and maybe they

1075
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: can have some sort of agreement where he loans it

1076
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: to them for six months out of the year or

1077
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: something like that, where hell, I'll give it here for

1078
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: to put it on display, or the year of the Olympics,

1079
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: you can have it for a year and put it

1080
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Something like that.

1081
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: Because I feel like not just because not he owns it,

1082
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: because he hit it. Because look if shoey Otani hits

1083
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: a home run right and you know he winds up,

1084
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, his fiftieth home run, the ball was worth

1085
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: in the millions of dollars. Yeah, that's the property of

1086
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: the person who grabs it, right, that's how you get it.

1087
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: But you know not that he says he has to

1088
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: give it back. But just this goes to a fan

1089
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: in the crowd. This wasn't a fan, This was the

1090
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame that got it right. This is like

1091
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers getting it and saying or major League Baseball

1092
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: getting the ball and saying, yeah, show and I get

1093
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: a batch. It's going right to the Hall of Fame.

1094
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: But but I kind of hit it. It just doesn't

1095
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: hit the ear right. It just seems weird, like, Hey,

1096
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: we were opportunistic in getting this puck, and I wish

1097
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: it would be a little bit more. Hey, let's work

1098
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: together where Hughes can keep it, but they can keep

1099
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: it on display forever long. They want to do it

1100
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: some sort of thing where it looks like they're working

1101
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: together and it wasn't just snatched out from under them

1102
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: when nobody was looking.

1103
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 4: Well in the end, if someone made it clear, hey,

1104
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 4: we're gonna go get this puck from Team USA, they

1105
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 4: would have gotten the puck right while Hughes went to celebrate,

1106
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 4: And eventually the camera did pan to them celebrating, so

1107
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 4: we did get verification that the goal happened. But if

1108
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 4: you don't go and claim it, right it's on the ice,

1109
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 4: someone's gonna do it, whether it's a member of Team Canada,

1110
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 4: whether it's a representative of the Hall of Fame, somebody

1111
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 4: else is gonna go grab it. If the team doesn't,

1112
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 4: so good on them. It ended up in the in

1113
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame in Canada. Uh So someone was

1114
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 4: wise enough to recognize the at least the historical value

1115
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 4: of the puck, if not the individual side of it. Right,

1116
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 4: Whether Hughes before celebrating with his teammate probably wouldn't have

1117
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 4: been the greatest of look if he'd gone crawling into

1118
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 4: the net, But somebody from representing Team USA should have right, good,

1119
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 4: good on the Hall of Fame or however they they

1120
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 4: got it. As long as you have the prominence and

1121
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 4: you have the chain of custody of it, so be it.

1122
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, for for Jackie. I understand he wants it.

1123
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 4: Our buddy Tim Conway Junior over at KFI in Los Angeles,

1124
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 4: he put up a change dot org petition to get

1125
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 4: the puck back in his hands, right, and it is

1126
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 4: important for him and I and I get that, But

1127
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 4: they didn't take care of the puck. I don't think

1128
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 4: you get delay claim to it right in all these

1129
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: other circumstances. If it goes into the crowd, then yeah,

1130
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 4: you've got to come back and figure it out. Remember

1131
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 4: when the Dodgers strong armed that guy and the woman

1132
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 4: that went into the hall. That was a bad look.

1133
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: Hey, I want more, but this is a bad look too.

1134
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: This is a bad look that Jack Hughes is like, Hey,

1135
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: I kind of like my puck. And normally the guy

1136
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: would get it back or he could find a trade

1137
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: or something like that if it's with a fan. But

1138
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: the fact that the Hall of Fame took it and

1139
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: he didn't know where it was like nobody knew, no

1140
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: one told him, yeah, we have the puck. Like again,

1141
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: it feels like it was done underhanded. I don't think

1142
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: this was handled the right way.

1143
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 3: The closest Jack Hughes is coming to see that Puck

1144
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 3: is if he buys a ticket to the museum.

1145
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna make him buy a ticket, Hey,

1146
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes American Hero. Yeah that's seventeen. Yeah, oh you're right,

1147
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: it's in Canada. Sorry, it's twenty nine to fifty seventeen.

1148
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 3: It comes to healthcare.

1149
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Oh that's okay. Here's I'm gonna

1150
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: pay you with a loony. I'm gonna pay you with

1151
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna pay you with looney. Literally exit out

1152
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,479
Speaker 1: bout a Fresco exit swollen down the Jason Smith Show

1153
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon
