1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: Tyrat dot com the way tire buying should be. I

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: cannot do my show tonight without quickly reflecting on today's

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: events in America, and I will just say this, but

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: for the grace of God, we go. And I would

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: also just say this as we as we navigate our

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: daily lives interacting with our fellow citizens, I will quote

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln, we must summon the better angels of our nature.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Class never goes out of style. Respect never goes out

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: of style. Now, I don't do political radio, as I've

17
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: said a thousand times. In the world of the shopping mall,

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: sports are the toy department. So we will focus on

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: that as I hope that we can while acknowledging and

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: keeping those involved in our thoughts in prayer. Sincerely, we

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: can take a brief respite. Groucho Marx once set it

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: best man is not lived by a bread alone. Once

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: in a while, he craves a cookie. Let's try to

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: have some fun tonight over the next four hours. And

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 2: as I say that, you know this past week between

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Copa America and NBA Bronni and Caitlin versus angel Is,

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: anybody noticed that upcoming this Tuesday, we have another Major

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: League Baseball All Star Game? Is it that far back

29
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: in the rear? Used to be called the Midsummer Classic

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: and it's still by far the best of the four

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: major League All Star Games. I mean, forget the stupid

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. That's completely gone the way of the Dodo Bird.

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Now the NBA All Star Game is terrible. They don't

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: play any defense. The NFL All Star Game is okay,

35
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: but the final score is always seventeen to fifteen. The

36
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball All Star Game, they still play defense.

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: You could still have a defensive highlight. Now you're not

38
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: going to have Pete Rose crashing into Ray Fosse. I

39
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: get that. If you don't know who that is, I'm sorry.

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: You know, fire up your Commodore sixty four and look

41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: it up. But you should still have some things to

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: talk about the next day at the water cooler. By

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: the way, a very interesting, you know, origin story about

44
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. The first one that was ever

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: held was at Kamiski Park in nineteen thirty three. It

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: was part of the nineteen thirty three Chicago World's Fair.

47
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: It was only designed to be a one time of

48
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: to boost morale during the Great Depression thanks to a journalist.

49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: You may have never heard of journalism and something that

50
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: is dead in our country, but there was a journalist

51
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: for the Chicago Tribune by the name of Arch Ward

52
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: who wrote an op ed piece suggesting that perhaps they

53
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: could get the American League and the National Lead to

54
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: get her to play an exhibition as part of the

55
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: again World's Fair and boost morale during the Great Depression.

56
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: Of course, Babe Ruth, the Yankees highlights the game by

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: hitting a home run in the bottom of the third

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: and making a diving catch. By the way, and of course,

59
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: the original rosters had tons of Hall of Famers. And

60
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: since then the All Star Game has been a fixed here.

61
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: Now it's not what it used to be because you

62
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: you know, with all the games on channels now, you know,

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: it's no longer just the game of the week where

64
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: you see one game it's up close and personal and

65
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: TV shrunk the world, but it still doesn't mean there

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: can't be storylines and things to watch. Thanks to We're

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: going to Beach's Reated too. For only the fifth time

68
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: in a Major League Baseball history, a rookie starting the

69
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: game for the National League, and why not Paul skeins

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: his first half numbers after his most recent seven inning,

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: no hit, eleven strikeout performance the other day, sixty six

72
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: innings he's logged this year, he's only allowed forty eight hits.

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: He struck out eighty nine guys in sixty six innings.

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: These were major league hitters. Okay. His opponents are hitting

75
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: accumulative two to two against him. His average fastball velocity

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: is ninety nine zero point one miles an hour. He

77
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: is the best pitcher in baseball since his debut on

78
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: May eleventh. In about twelve minutes, we'll bring in one

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: of my favorite guests, my longtime friend Larry Sorenson. Ten

80
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: years in the big leagues, Larry pitched in the Major

81
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: League All Star Game, set a record that will never

82
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: be broken. And oh, by the way, not for nothing.

83
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: He was on the broadcast for Wake Forest when they

84
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: faced Paul Skeins in LSU in the championship game of

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: the College World Series last year. And he'll tell you

86
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: a thing or two about seeing Paul Skeens up close

87
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: and personal, and we'll go from there. By the way,

88
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: the last rookie to start a for the you know,

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game, also happened to be for

90
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: the National League, was way back in nineteen ninety five,

91
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: a guy by the name of HYDEO. Noble. You've may

92
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: remember him, Dodger pitcher. His stat line was pretty good.

93
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: He pitched two innings, he gave up one hit, struck

94
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: out three, didn't give up a run. Now, I would

95
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: be shocked if Paul Skeens comes out for the second inning.

96
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: They don't do this anymore, right, But I will tell

97
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: you you're gonna be watching because I'm going to suggest or

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: predict or believe that Paul Skeins will face probably I'm

99
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: gonna say Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Gunner Henderson. And

100
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: if he gets all three out, or strikes all three out,

101
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: or strikes any of them out while you know, retiring

102
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: to side one, two, three, that'll be be talked about,

103
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: and I think it'll continue to advance Paul'skan's quest to

104
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: maybe win the sy Um. He's the rookie of the years.

105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: I think in the bag buying something to completely unforeseen.

106
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: The last Rickie before that, you have to go back

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: forty eight years, the legendary Mark Fiders, the bird who

108
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: talked to the ball. He pitched two innings, he gave

109
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: up four hits to earned runs, struck out one, didn't

110
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: walk a hitter. And I know much has been made

111
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: about his career being cut short because they said he

112
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: over used him. That's not what happened, peeps. Mark Ridge

113
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: Fidrich was futzing around on the outfield one day during

114
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: batting practice and goofing around because he was just a happy,

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: go lucky guy, and he dove for a ball injured

116
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: his right shoulder and he was never the same. That

117
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: was in nineteen seventy seven. He had ups and downs

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: for the next three years and his career, I think

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: unceremoniously with the Red Sox. Whatever the case may be,

120
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't because of overused and I pitched a lot,

121
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: but he sustained a shoulder injury. And speaking of overuse, look,

122
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: Paul Schemes regularly threw A pitchers are more at LSU

123
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. The Pirates have been very cautious with him.

124
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: He never threw more than seventy five pitches in any

125
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: of his Triple A outings. He seasoned highs one hundred

126
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: and seven. He had ninety nine the other night when

127
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: he had the no hitter going, and I think fans

128
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: overwhelming wanted him to stand the game. But Derek Shelton,

129
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: who's worried about his job the manager of the Pirates.

130
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: You get the picture. This isn't the first time this

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: has happened. So when Tory Lavulu called in to Dan

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: Patrick's show on Thursday morning to announce that he had

133
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: selected Paul Skeens to be the starting pitcher for the

134
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: National League, it was way cool. And by the way,

135
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: before that, I should say fernanovllens Wille in nineteen eighty

136
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: one also it was a starter. So Paul Skeens is

137
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: in really good company. I'm going to watch the game.

138
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: It's not what it used to be and I'm not

139
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sure why, but I have my theories.

140
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: But this should give you an idea how this damn

141
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: thing is lost altitude like a nan villain a bugs

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: Bunny cartoon. Because an NBC affiliate in Dallas Fort Worth,

143
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: you know, with the games being played Tuesday, put together

144
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: this list of fifty fun All Star facts, and every

145
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: damn one of them is old timey. Who's played the

146
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: most All Star Games Well, Hank Aaron, Willie Mason, stand

147
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: musual are, tieh Okay who has the most hits in

148
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: All Star Game history, Willie Mays, who has the highest

149
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: career batting average in All Star history, Charlie Garringer, who

150
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: has the most wins as a pitcher, Lefty Gomez. Well, actually,

151
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 2: Mario Mariano Rivera owns the most All Star Games saved

152
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: with four. Roger Clemens had pitched the most All Star

153
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: Games ten appearances. But you get the picture here. This

154
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: is all old timey stuff. Maybe the most recent is

155
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter. He's the only player to win the All

156
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: Star Game MVP in the World's Series MVP in the

157
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: same season. That was back in two thousand. Hell, it's

158
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: even been six years now since the game you know

159
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: decided who would which league would host the would have

160
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: the home field advantage of the World Series but I digress.

161
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: Look amidst all the news and MSL, the sports news,

162
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: it seems to have been buried. Maybe you'll watch it,

163
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: maybe you won't. But regardless, the game will be played Tuesday,

164
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: and with thirty two new players that have never been

165
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: in an All Star Game before, there should be at

166
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: least one storyline coming out of it, not the least

167
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: of which will be Paul Skins coming up? Are you're

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: bringing Larry Sowrenson, ten year Major leaguer pitched in the

169
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: seventy eight All Star Game, retired nine minut in a

170
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: row five or Hall of famers also saw Paul Skins

171
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: up close and personal. And when I call Larry on

172
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: May eleven to say, guess what Larry Paul Skeins is

173
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: called up to the big leagues today, I'll tell you

174
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 2: what he said. It's uh, it's something that I think

00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: and a gentleman. There could be no one more uniquely

200
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: qualified to converse on what we're going to speak about tonight.

201
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: He pitched in the All Star Game of nineteen seventy

202
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: eight retired nine straight hitters, and about a year ago

203
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: he was on the broadcast team at wake Forest in

204
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: the College World Series championship game. And Paul Skins up

205
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: close and personal, and he's a very good evaluator of talent.

206
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: Larry always I appreciate you staying up. Lay. Say hello,

207
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Larry Sorenson, Hello, Bernie.

208
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: How are you doing tonight?

209
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: Doing well, Larry, And I'm really glad to have you.

210
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: The timing couldn't be better. I don't know if you

211
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: remember this, but I do. The day Paul Skeins was

212
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: called up to the big leagues on May eleventh, and

213
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: I called you and I said, Larry, Paul Skeins got

214
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: called up today. Your exact response was, it's about time

215
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: you knew something. You saw something long before the rest

216
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: of us did. Talk about your observations as you saw

217
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: Paul Skeins beat wake Forest in his final college game.

218
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: Well, it was just an unbelievable baseball game. First of all,

219
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: it was him against RTT Lauder, who I think will

220
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: be in the big league soon with the Cincinnati Reds

221
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 5: as well. And it was as great at pitching duel

222
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 5: as you can see. I think that people acknowledge this's

223
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: one of the greatest college baseball games ever, and certainly

224
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: in those conditions, maybe the greatest College World Series game ever.

225
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: And it was just fantastic watching those two guys throw

226
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 5: zeros at each other for a long time. And then

227
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 5: Skins is just these otherworldly you know what, the stuff

228
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: that he's got, the makeup that he's got, and the

229
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 5: ability to talent that he possesses. It's a lot of

230
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 5: fun as an old baseball guy to watch somebody go

231
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: out there and perform at that level.

232
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: What do you like about it most? What's the element

233
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: that has enabled him to not only be projectable but

234
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: transfer his talents to the major league level and have

235
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: this kind of incredible success right out of the gate.

236
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 5: He's got some's just some dirtiness to him. You know,

237
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 5: he knows what he's got, he knows how to use it.

238
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 5: But he's also got the desire to go out and

239
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 5: every single pitch compete, and I think he does that

240
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 5: very well. He's a bulldog with tremendous stuff. But he's

241
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 5: also got a pretty good idea about what he's doing

242
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: with it. You know, he locates, he's got an idea

243
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 5: about going in and out and up and down. He

244
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 5: just not it's coming at one hundred miles an hour

245
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: down the middle of the plate.

246
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: And when you watch him.

247
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 5: Pitch for extended innings, you see that he manipulates the

248
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 5: strike zone. And it's fantastic to watch.

249
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: Talk with Larry Sorenson, ten year Major leaguer pitch in

250
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: the All Star Game in seventy eight, retired nine straight

251
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: guys saw Paul Skein's up close and personal. All right,

252
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: we can draw a parallel, Larry. I mean, you were

253
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: all of about twenty two years old when you got

254
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 2: to the when you when you got to the All

255
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: Star Game, Billy Martin put you in, and what was

256
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: going through your mind in terms of what you could

257
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: relate to Paul schemes and what's going to be going

258
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: through his mind as he steps on to a bigger

259
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: stage Tuesday night.

260
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 5: Well, Bernie, you know, take the most magnificent event of

261
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: your life, now put yourself doing it at the age

262
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 5: of twenty two years of age, you know, living out

263
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: a dream, and then escalate that because it's the All

264
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: Star Game in front of fifty two thousand people and

265
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: millions watching on TV. So I didn't know where I

266
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: was or what I was doing.

267
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 6: I was just.

268
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 5: Twenty two years old, young and dumb and out there

269
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: throwing it so looking around, looking around between pitchers, saying, wow,

270
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: how can't believe this? You know, and you think that

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 5: you're into the game. And people of my broadcast partner,

272
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: stay In Cotton, got into the Major League Baseball Archives

273
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: and got me a DVD of it because I've never

274
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: really seen it before, you know, and I'm just looking around.

275
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 5: I was just dumb, kid. I'm about about six. I

276
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: was about six months older than Schemes is going to

277
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 5: be right. And it was July eleventh.

278
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: It was July eleventh.

279
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 5: Actually. Somebody just called me up the other day and

280
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: said happy anniversary, and I said, for what, you know,

281
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: because it didn't really strike that bigger core, but it

282
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: was overwhelming, you know. Surreal is a really overused word,

283
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: but it really really fits.

284
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: I like what your answer was coming out of the gate.

285
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: For any aspiring baseball players listening out there, listen to Larry,

286
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: Ignorance is underrating, right, ignorance. It's just true, though, if

287
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: you overthink, it can hurt you, all right.

288
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I was. I was as dumb as they

289
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: tell and I was proven by the fact that Larry

290
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 5: Bowa hit a little chopper to the right side and

291
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 5: I was late covering first So, you know, which is

292
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 5: one of the things I did best.

293
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: Was okay, little thing, let's getting nerdy here, because you know,

294
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: I got that crazy rain Man memory. So you forgot

295
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: to cover first base, which is not normal for you. You

296
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: would have done it. You work on a spring training

297
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: eight hours a day. So what does Billy Martin do?

298
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: You get someone up in the bullpen, and you had

299
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: to notice that, and you see yourself.

300
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 5: Bullpen was down there. Our bullpen was down the right

301
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 5: field line.

302
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack Murphy stadium man.

303
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: Yeah. And so I still hadn't quite slowed down from

304
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 5: covering first base. And I looked down to the bullpen

305
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 5: and I could see Jeff Torberg running over to graft

306
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: the telephone, and I said, oh, oh, you know, and

307
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: Jim Kern got up. So I really quickly ran back

308
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: to the mound as fast as I could to try

309
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 5: to throw more pitches to see if I could get

310
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: out of it somehow. You know, it didn't make me

311
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: stay in a little bit longer.

312
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: And then you got the night. In the next nine

313
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: hitters out, which I think what happened there is a

314
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: premer for any baseball player. It's not what happens, it's

315
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 2: how you react. It's game predicated on failure. So you

316
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: you know, you bowed your neck, you got got down. God,

317
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: donet take care of business now, Paul Steins. It's inevitable

318
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: something might go wrong Monday night. He might throw a

319
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: pitch he thought was a strike. It's called a ball,

320
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. What advice would you have

321
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: for him if his best laid plans start to go south?

322
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: You know what?

323
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 5: That's another one of the things that he does really well.

324
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 5: He handles those kinds of things because I think he's

325
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 5: got a great understanding of how difficult it is not

326
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 5: only for him to throw it that hard, but for

327
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: a catcher to catch it and for the umpire to

328
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: see it coming and make the call too. We had

329
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 5: we had a situation with wake Forest this year where

330
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: they had a new catcher come in and he had

331
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 5: caught seven pitches last year at Watford University that were

332
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 5: over ninety two miles per hour. And Chase Burns, who's

333
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 5: probably going to be the first player taking pitcher taking

334
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 5: in the draft this year, he'll probably be a top

335
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: five pick in the draft tonight. As a matter of

336
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 5: the look for the name Chase Burns. He two seven

337
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: the first game he pitched over one hundred.

338
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Yes, so now we got it.

339
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: We got you know, you got a kid that's not

340
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 5: used to catching that kind of philosophy, that Scott. And

341
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 5: it's tough on the catchers too. So it's just it's

342
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 5: a unique, rare talent, but he's got the personality to

343
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: go with it. With my point of this long winded story.

344
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: I referenced when things go wrong, as they often do

345
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: in baseball, because I remember, like yesterday, Mark Fittridge making

346
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: his start in the seventy six game. He just wasn't

347
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: one of his better referens at night. He pitched two innings,

348
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: gave up four hits. You know, one thing led to

349
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: another and it just kind of doubled on itself. I

350
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: don't expect that to happen to Skeens, which you just

351
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: never know. Baseball is unpredictable as it was Thursday, but

352
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: he had a no hitter throwing nine to nine pitchers.

353
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: I want to get your thoughts on this Larry and

354
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: his New Age baseball, because if memory serves. You threw

355
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: about two hundred and eighty eight innings back in nineteen

356
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: seventy eight. Schemes regularly through one hundred. Pitchers are more

357
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: at LSU through one hundred and twenty five. In the

358
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: game you called against Wake, What are your thoughts about

359
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: the quick trigger pulling these guys just a little too early?

360
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: Couldn't they have marched them out in the eighth and

361
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: saw where it went from there?

362
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: Probably? You know, you can always march somebody out. What's

363
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 5: going to happen is the is them things. But it's

364
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: more predictable than it used to be, you know, working

365
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 5: with pitch logic, which is a baseball that has a

366
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 5: circuit board that gives you all these metrics inside of

367
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 5: it that gives you all the metrics and spin rates

368
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 5: and everything else. I was on a podcast the other

369
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: day with the doctor from Louisiana Tech, and there was

370
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 5: doing that's doing tests on the stress that goes into

371
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: throwing and the different ways that they can measure what's

372
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 5: happening inside the arm now, and it's getting much more

373
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: predictable than it used to be. Now you say that,

374
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 5: and yet arm injuries and surgeries are going up. But

375
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 5: they've got so much better feel for what the athlete's

376
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 5: body goes through every time that they throw. That they

377
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 5: have a much better grasp on it. And I heard

378
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: the sound bite that you played talking about he was tired,

379
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 5: he was out of gas. They know those things and

380
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: they're much more able to measure and mark what state

381
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: the player's body is in.

382
00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 2: I mean, they're at a.

383
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: Point where with ourcare who we partner with, where they

384
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 5: can tell you how much you've got in your tank

385
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 5: before you start, you know, through the various exercises and

386
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 5: putting different sensors on your body, so they can tell

387
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: what capability you are of your maximum capabilities that your

388
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 5: body is used to doing. So it's phenomenal what they

389
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 5: can do these days. And you know, like it or

390
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 5: leave it, as they said, like it or leave it.

391
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: That's the way baseball is now. Talk with Larry Sowrenson,

392
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: ten year Major League in nineteen seventy at All Star

393
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: Game and called Paul Skiing's last game. I'm going to

394
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: get to the patrologic ball in just a second. If

395
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: you've seen Paul Skeen's pregame routine with all of the

396
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: gyrations and the mechanisms, and he's got some big tube

397
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: on his back and a ball and he throws a football,

398
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: all those types of things. Even amongst all the precautions, Larry,

399
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 2: there is such a proclivity now for players who throw

400
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: still end up getting Tommy Johnson. It's almost unavoidable. So

401
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: is the pitch Logic ball one of those devices that

402
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: can perhaps help you adjust your mechanics so you're less

403
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 2: likely to have injury.

404
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 5: Well, what pitch logic does, and I quickly mentioned that

405
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: it's got a circuit board inside with a number of

406
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 5: different sensors, and it breaks down your total spin to

407
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 5: side spin, backspin, rifle spin, or a spiral spin, and

408
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 5: it gives you what the ball did while it was

409
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 5: in the air. So it's not so much a predictor

410
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 5: of what your body's doing, although we do have your

411
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 5: extension numbers and a variety of things, and it's you know,

412
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 5: little leaguers can use it to show where their armslot

413
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: is to be more consistent with their armslot. Big leaguers

414
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: take it to a whole different level of pitch layering.

415
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 5: But what I think is happening, Bernie, is that the

416
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 5: athletes are getting so much better conditions that we're out

417
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 5: conditioning our bodies to do something that they weren't intended

418
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 5: to do. You know, they weren't intended to propel a

419
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: five one hundred and forty five gram object at one

420
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 5: hundred and two point six miles per hour. And we're

421
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 5: putting so much stress on the tendons and the different

422
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: parts of the body that it's just now what the

423
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 5: body was designed and created for, and it goes beyond

424
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: the capability.

425
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 2: Larry exactly right. It's an unnatural biomechanical motion to throw

426
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 2: a baseball overhand. I think that's why it was underhand.

427
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: Softball pitchers never get tired, right, They thrown her and

428
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: that's more natural.

429
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: Well, and even they're starting to find out, you know,

430
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 5: through the testing, as the athletes condition themselves in that

431
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 5: sport better, you know, they're starting to find some of

432
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 5: the same thing. It's still one of my all time

433
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 5: favorite baseball stories that God love and rest in peace.

434
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 5: Dan Quinsonberry when they asked him why he was a

435
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: submariner and why he threw from down there, he said,

436
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 5: if God intended us to be pictures, we'd walk with

437
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: our hands over our heads. He said, we don't we

438
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 5: walked on our hands by our side.

439
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: So I'm going to throw.

440
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: From down there.

441
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: Love Dan Quisenberry till cow guy, God rest his soul. Pa,

442
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: he had the Vicki Car fastball? Is that all there is?

443
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to have you talk about where people can

444
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: find your pitch logic ball. But one last thing, Larry,

445
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: I've always believed that the Major League Baseball All Star

446
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: Game is the best of the four because they actually

447
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: played defense, and you can get a highlight, you know,

448
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: play on defense Tuesday night rolls around. It seems like

449
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: it's an afterthought right now. Has the game jumped the shark.

450
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 6: Man?

451
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: That's that's a tough one. That really is a tough one.

452
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 5: I didn't like it when they made it a factor

453
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 5: in deciding races.

454
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: You know, when they made it sure and stuff.

455
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: You know, I think, yeah, yeah, well he had a

456
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 5: lot of ideas, but he was a great baseball fan.

457
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: You know.

458
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 5: It's I don't think so because in baseball, I think,

459
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 5: like no other sport, you stand out by yourself, and

460
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 5: you know, you throw a pitch and somebody hit the

461
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: home run, it's embarrassing. You strike out on a pitch,

462
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 5: It's embarrassing. You make an error, it's embarrassing. And I

463
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 5: think in the game of base while that personal pride

464
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 5: and the factor of you know, everybody's going to watch

465
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: just me on that TV screen kick this ball at

466
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 5: short stuff, you know, And I think that the personal

467
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 5: pride takes you over in the game of baseball. Battling

468
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: is an individual. If you've got pride yourself, you don't

469
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 5: want to be embarrassed and you give up a home

470
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: run in the All Star Game, Man, you just had

471
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: your pants taken down in front of about thirty million people.

472
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're going to compete. I agree with you.

473
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 5: Personal pride makes you compete million percent.

474
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: So Larry, before I let you run, tell the folks

475
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: the website where they can find the pitch Logic Ball.

488
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 5: It's a great tool. I wish we'd have had it

489
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 5: that year that I threw two hundred and eighty innings

490
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 5: from Milwaukee, because I would have shown on my armslot

491
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: changed and went down as I got tired during the

492
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 5: course of the year.

493
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: And by the way, I think we're about seven hours

494
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 2: away from Chase Burns getting drafted. And you know any

495
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: kid who can throw one hundred and one with a

496
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: monster slider, who wants to grab a bat against that? Right?

497
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 5: Oh man? Great kid, very a little bit on the

498
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 5: shy side, but very much a team guy that came

499
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 5: over with an unbelievable addition for Wake Forest this year,

500
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: going ten and one, leading in the nation and strikeouts,

501
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 5: And it was a lot of fun to watch him

502
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: pitch every Friday night in the ACC, which is a

503
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 5: pretty darn good league.

504
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: And I giggled.

505
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: Sometimes, Bernie. I giggled sometimes watching him face hitter at

506
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 5: that level and strike guys out.

507
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: He struck out forty nine percent of the hitters he faced.

508
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: That's almost impossible.

509
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was. He had like a fixed to

510
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 5: one strikeout the walk race, Joe, So he was getting

511
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: ahead of hitters all the time, and it was dominant.

512
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 5: It was It was just a lot of fun to

513
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 5: call his games, get to know him. A little bit

514
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 5: terrific kid. He's going to do very, very well at

515
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 5: the major league level in a very short time.

516
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: I hope they leave him alone because he starts his

517
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: wind up with his body slightly turned at an angle

518
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: toward the third base dugout, so his back's more turned

519
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: in his front foot is the angles not. You don't

520
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: think they're going to mess with that, do you.

521
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I also hope they don't try

522
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 5: to tame him down. He's an aggressive personality and he's

523
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: demonstrative on the mound, but if you watch him, it's

524
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 5: never ever disrespectful to the other team. So he pounds

525
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: his glove, he celebrates, he screams, but never facing the

526
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 5: opposing dugout, never looking at another hitter. It's always to

527
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 5: his own guys to try to rally and encourage his

528
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 5: own players. Or he'll look out the center field and yell,

529
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 5: but he never shows the opposing team up, which was

530
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 5: something that you know, I came in waiting to see

531
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 5: what he was going to be like, and he just

532
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: impressed the snot out of me every time he went

533
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 5: out there.

534
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: Well, this is the last thing I'll say, but I

535
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: do this a lot comparative analysis because I think he's

536
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: underrated as an athlete. He looks like he's really an

537
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: explosive athlete. To me, reminds me a little of a

538
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: young Jack Morris.

539
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 5: The guy said that they didn't want to play basketball

540
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 5: with him, guys, so they didn't want to play paintball

541
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 5: for them.

542
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 6: You know.

543
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 5: So he's extremely competitive. He's a mad dog competitor. But

544
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 5: you get him away and I've watched him in you know,

545
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 5: team situations and he's just another one of the guys.

546
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: You know, he just fit in and was another one

547
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 5: of the guys and did it immediately too.

548
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be calling you soon when he gets called

549
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: up to the big leagues and you'll say it's about time, right.

550
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 5: Sounds like a good idea, and I appreciate it, and

551
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 5: I appreciate your memory.

552
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 2: Man, Larry Good to have you, buddy, appreciate you staying

553
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: up late and won't won't be long wait Forest Football

554
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: will be here and enjoy the rest of your summer.

555
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 5: A right, Bernie, you take care of yourself.

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: Thanks. That's Larry Sorenson, ten year Major leaguer and you know,

557
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: pitching the All Star Game in seventy eight, retired ninth

558
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 2: straight hitters. You've seen Paul schemes up close and personal.

559
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, this Chase Burns kid is tough. Yeah,

560
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: he could pitch in the big leagues right now. So

561
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball Draft, which many of you may

562
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: not care about, is going to start in about six

563
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: seven hours. Watch for his name, all right? Coming up Tuesday,

564
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: the All Star Game will have a decidedly odd sort

565
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: of an aspect to it. What am I talking about?

566
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 2: You ever heard the term dress for success? Where the

567
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: hell did they get these Beer league uniforms? Now? You

568
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: got me pissed? Okay, we're gonna talk about that coming up.

569
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: You'll see him Tuesday. But there's been a league photo

570
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: of the All Star Game jersey, and I gotta tell

571
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: you fans are not happy. But first let's go to

572
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: our guy, the chef Kevin Wired for the latest.

573
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, we are in our last Saturday before the All

574
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 7: Star break, and the Dodgers up. It was an ugly

575
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 7: night dating for them, blowing a five run lead as

576
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 7: the Tigers force extra innings where they do eventually win

577
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 7: it eleven to nine despite Shoey O'tani hitting his twenty

578
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 7: ninth home run of the season. The Cardinals getting two

579
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 7: wins against their heated rival, the Chicago Cubs eleven three,

580
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 7: five to four games one and two, respectively. The padre

581
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 7: Is getting a win after they were on a five

582
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 7: game losing streak, so they snapped their skid by shutting

583
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 7: out the Braves for nothing. Diamondbacks over the Toronto Blue

584
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 7: Jays twelve one, as Corbyn Carroll hit two home runs,

585
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 7: got himself six runs batted in Aaron Judge hitting it

586
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 7: thirty fourth home run and that's a record for the

587
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 7: first half by a Yankee player, and New York does

588
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 7: win it against the Baltimore Ools six to wins. So

589
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 7: the Orioles, who had been in first place for quite

590
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 7: a while, have now lost five straight games and are

591
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 7: tied for the Yankees for the top spot in the

592
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 7: American League East. The Padres snapped their five game losing streak,

593
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 7: shouting out the Braves four nothing the Mets when they're

594
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 7: fifth in a row, seven to three against the Colorado Rockies,

595
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 7: Texas wins and ten inning Zach Houston two to one.

596
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 7: Cincinnati hands it's Miami their fifth straight loss, ten to

597
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 7: six in the WNBA the New York Liberty. They're now

598
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 7: twenty and four on this season. Maybe at the Chicago

599
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 7: Sky eighty one sixty seven as Angel Rees had just

600
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 7: eight points, which did grab down sixteen boards. Soccer England

601
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 7: and Spain coming up on Sunday. We also have Wimbledon

602
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 7: coming up, as the final went to Barbara Cretchakova and

603
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 7: the women's sided three set, six four and the third

604
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 7: she beats seventh seeded jazz Man Powlini. We got the

605
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 7: men's final coming up on Sunday. Ludwig Aberg leads the

606
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 7: Scottish Open by two strokes over Scotland's Robert McIntyre.

607
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: Back to Bernie, All.

608
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: Right, thanks chef, looking forward to your performance coming up

609
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: in a couple of hours. You know, when I played

610
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: ball in Corlege, had a part time job selling high

611
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: end Italian men's suits. My buddy Frank Johnson was a

612
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: close of Ficionado, still owns the clothing store and so

613
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: on the California and he used to have a saying,

614
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: close are costumes. When you dress nice, when you put

615
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: on nice clothes, you feel different. And I think there's

616
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: a lot of truth to that. Somebody has not gotten

617
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: a mimo. It's been a bad year to forget for

618
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball uniforms. And you know, up until twenty nineteen,

619
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, you know, you had the National

620
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: League and American League squads respectively. They wore the home

621
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: and away uniforms of the respective teams during the actual game.

622
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: I like that, everybody like that. And then they came

623
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: up with these goofy jerseys for the America League and

624
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: National League, but those were only worn at the home

625
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 2: run derby until twenty seventeen. And by the way, there

626
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: was no All Star Game in twenty twenty because of

627
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: the pandemic. So Nike took over in twenty twenty, and

628
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: there's been a shift that players were these actual All

629
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: Star Game jerseys during the actual game. Now, with all

630
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: due respect, all right, And there was a photo that

631
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 2: hit social media this past week showing Juan Soto's All

632
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: Star Game jersey at the Yankee Stadium team shop. It's

633
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: on sale there. It's a tan jersey, it's got red sleeves,

634
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: but nothing about it has a connection to the Texas

635
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: Rangers and the host team. Right. I vote for bringing

636
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: back the regular team jerseys for the All Star Game

637
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 2: and maybe use the special jerseys for workouts and when

638
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: you get there during batting practice or whatever. I don't

639
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: like it. And turns out I'm not the only one.

640
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe the comments on Twitter and you can

641
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: find them all right. They show this one guy, James Treaty.

642
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: He tweets out, we used to be a civilized society

643
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: and he shows the All Star you know, they line

644
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: up on the baselines where they're inner and it shows

645
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: guys that are Royals and uniforms and Angels uniforms and

646
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: twins and it's cool they're in their respective uniforms. Another

647
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: tweeter tweets in the crime is Nike paid and paid

648
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: well by Major League Baseball to produce this nonsense? These

649
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: look like softball jerseys your friend got for the team

650
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: at the sports and trophy store in the Strip mall

651
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: around the corner another guy. I hate being to get

652
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: off my long guy, but Major League Baseball is not

653
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: helping here. These are pitiful. Another tweeter. I understand it's

654
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: all about money and selling merch following what the other

655
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: leagues do, but man, please just have them to wear

656
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: their respective teams uniforms out there. Always thought it was

657
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: cool seeing the different looks on the field together. It

658
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: was a unique thing Major League Baseball had going. Another

659
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: tweeter that goes by just a Yankees fan quote happy

660
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: major League Baseball dropped yet another jersey that the entire

661
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: of the Internet is going to hate on all day.

662
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: To those who celebrate. Another tweeter, the design at Nike

663
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: Diamond continue to swing and miss. How about they just

664
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: go back to playing in their respective uniform real quickly, extemporaneously.

665
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: I want to call on the crew, shay am I

666
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: right or wrong? Tell me your thoughts. Would you rather

667
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 2: see these goofy softball jerseys or would you like to

668
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: see them go back to the respective uniforms for the

669
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: American and National League teams?

670
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 8: When you call them beer league jerseys? I literally that's

671
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 8: exactly what I was on my head, like, these do

672
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 8: not look good at all. They look like those scam

673
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 8: jerseys you buy from like Downtown LA. I'm not a

674
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 8: fan of them. I loved seeing the players repping their teams.

675
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 8: I'm not a fan of it at all, and I

676
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 8: agree with everything you've said, Bernie.

677
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: I just it was so cool. I mean, there was

678
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: a time when you didn't get games on every single day,

679
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: and nine games a day and all the various you know,

680
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 2: pay per view channels you can get, which are great,

681
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 2: but seeing these players all together in one fell swoop scenario,

682
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: it was really kind of a spectacle. And it's it's

683
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: just an exhibition game now, but what it does it

684
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: connects people to the cities and there's a certain pride. Jeff,

685
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: your thoughts do you like these Beer League Softball jerseys

686
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: or would you rather see him go back to what

687
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: I said?

688
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: Oh no, I agree with both of you completely.

689
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 7: What made MLB's All Star Game special Not only was

690
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 7: the competitiveness higher than other leagues, but it was unique

691
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 7: to see everyone wearing the jerseys of their respective teams

692
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 7: showing who they're representing. At the Midsummer Classic, you got

693
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 7: to see exactly the wide variety of different uniforms that

694
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 7: teams got to wear all on one stage, and that

695
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 7: just made it a much more compelling game to watch

696
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 7: compared to the other leagues. Who I mean, they're All

697
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 7: Star games, just don't compare. And I get why. You know,

698
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 7: in football basketball you have to have similar color jerseys

699
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 7: on each side because of you know, having to throw

700
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 7: the ball to someone and making sure he's on your

701
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 7: team and all that. But baseball, the offense and defense

702
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 7: are clearly separated, so there's no reason to not have

703
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 7: players wear their individual uniforms because it gives you probably

704
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 7: as a fan seeing that at the All Star Game,

705
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 7: growing up as a Dodger fan, seeing players wearing the

706
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 7: Dodger uniform at the All Star Game was something that

707
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 7: really added to that experience watching it on TV, knowing

708
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 7: that your team has your favorite players earned it there

709
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 7: and they're there for your team. And I think baseball

710
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 7: is really taking something away from that by just going

711
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 7: for a cheap money grab. And the thing is too,

712
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 7: is that it's not even they're giving us good jerseys.

713
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 7: They're giving us this.

714
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned a Dodgers jersey, which is essentially the

715
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: same uniform they won since they were in Brooklyn. The

716
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: Yankee pinstripes, the Detroit Tigers old fashioned d There was

717
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: a lot of distinctive designs in the history of Major

718
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: League Baseball uniforms that are pretty cool, and nostalgia is

719
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: a trap. There's not so much you can do with

720
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: NBA uniforms that get it. I understand why those other

721
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: leagues do that, but the bottom line is, I think

722
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: this is a swing and a miss. Yes, upon very

723
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: much intended. Coming up, I want to give you just

724
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: a few more fun facts about the Major League Baseball

725
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: All Star Game in its history. And you know what,

726
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 2: will any history be made Tuesday? I don't know. But again,

727
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: it's a game we can watch, a game we enjoy.

728
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: I do believe that, you know, because it's a standalone

729
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: it's the only day of the year where there's not

730
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: a whether it may be WNBIA games. But it's the

731
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: old trivia question where there's not a major league sporting

732
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: event the day before the day after. It's truly a

733
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: standalone event, and it you know, it's become a bit

734
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: of a spectacle. Now later in the show, by the way,

735
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: I think the home run derby is also very much

736
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: jumped the shark. I'm going to tell you what the

737
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: fix should be. And a year ago it was talked

738
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: about and it never came to fruition. But you know

739
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: what do I know? I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to you,

00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 2: Homer nineteen sixty seven tweets and ah the All Star

749
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: uniforms may look okay after work Bowling League, but not

750
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: for Major League Baseball. That's the best creative the geniuses

751
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: can Nike could design. Aimen Shae took a minute to

752
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: look it up. Shay, Let's say I want to buy

753
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: that jersey as a gift for one of my favorite people.

754
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: What's it gonna run me?

755
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 8: So this doesn't include shipping and hauling, but it's one

756
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 8: hundred and ninety four dollars in ninety nine cents for

757
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 8: both the American League and National Leage jerseys.

758
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 2: Such a deal, my god, And it seems like something

759
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: you could make on your own.

760
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, my little cousin can make this.

761
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: I bet your little cousin would do a good job.

762
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: He should contact Major League Baseball, all right, there are

763
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: some you know. Look, there actually is some recent history

764
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: in the Major League Baseball All Star Game worth noting.

765
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty one, show heyl Tyny became the

766
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: first ever player in the history of the All Star

767
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 2: Game to start a game as both a hitter and

768
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: a pitcher. And he's also the only player in Major

769
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: League Baseball to be selected after both a position player

770
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: and a pitcher. He did it for three straight seasons.

771
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 2: And give it up to the twenty twenty four Philadelphia Phillies. Yeah,

772
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: they have the league's best record. No wonder why they've

773
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: got a franchise record. Seven players representing the Phillies Tuesday Night,

774
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 2: And by the way, that's the most in the Atlanta Braves.

775
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty one, I believe, and also in

776
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, Gen Carlos Stanton Brian Buxton became the

777
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 2: seventh set of players they hit back to back home

778
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 2: runs in the All Star Game. Remember back in nineteen

779
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: eighty nine when Bo Jackson hit that bomb to lead

780
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: off the game, Well, way box it went after him.

781
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: They went back to back as well. So maybe we'll

782
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: see history Tuesday night and try not to stare at

783
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,520

00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 2: in Martin, Medina, Medina, Magic, Fox Sports Radio, NBA Guru Mark.

799
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: So much to dive into, I'll start here. Frankly, I'm

800
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: tired of hearing about the Jalen Brown, Derek White, Kawhi

801
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 2: Leonard trilogy. So I'm going to ask you a question.

802
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: I guarantee you nobody's asked you yet. Since Derek White

803
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: was a very serviceable teammate during the Tokyo Olympics and

804
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: fits their mold, why did they just pick him in

805
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 2: the first place instead of Kawhi Leonard since they claim

806
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 2: they wanted continuity.

807
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a very fair question. I think that they

808
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 6: didn't pick him because they saw a very small chance

809
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 6: that Kawhi Leonard would be available. And look, you can't

810
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 6: mess the talent, and he's a two way player. He's

811
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 6: good at, you know, adapting to different roles. I think

812
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 6: that's what happened. But yeah, to your point, Derek White

813
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 6: got back on the roster because connuity was in part

814
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 6: a variable. But I think that that conuity piece only

815
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 6: goes far and could be the leading, you know, indicator

816
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 6: why he had out his teammate Jaalen Joe Brown, even

817
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 6: though he's won finals, MVP and as a better player.

818
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 6: But when healthy, Kawhi Leonard is on a whole other

819
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 6: stress or no question.

820
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: But he missed a pretty much the end of the season,

821
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 2: so all right, let's not revisit that. Speaking of being healthy,

822
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, it looks like the team is still in

823
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: a holding pattern. He misspracticed against Saturday with the cap

824
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: stream doesn't look he'll play against Australia on Monday, but

825
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: Steve Kurse said he's not concerned. Is that just a

826
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: spin or what.

827
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 6: Well, We'll have to wait and see. You know, with injuries,

828
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 6: you never know how much the team is protecting information

829
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 6: or not. I mean, here's here's an example here with

830
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard. And I was asking ty Lou about if

831
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 6: he's had any minister restrictions and if you know the

832
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 6: Clippers are having to collaborate with Steve Kurle on how

833
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 6: to manage his minutes, and he said nothing at all.

834
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 6: He looks good, he's it's good, he's going to play

835
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 6: five on five. It was good for him. And the

836
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 6: next morning USA Basketball announces that Kawhi Leonard is not

837
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 6: going to be on the team because of injuries, so

838
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 6: you know, you never know what you don't know. But

839
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 6: I do think that if it was serious, Kevin Durant

840
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 6: would have already been sent home. I think one of

841
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 6: the reasons for that is Kevin Durant already accomplished a

842
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 6: lot in the Olympics. He won gold medals in twenty twelve,

843
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 6: twenty sixteen, and twenty twenty one. In a while, you know,

844
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 6: you can't ever have turned down another gold medal. He

845
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 6: already is the all time leading scorer in Olympic basketball

846
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 6: history with Team USA. So yeah, how his injury plays out,

847
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 6: I do think that he will play, but maybe just that.

848
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 6: On Tuesday, talk with.

849
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: Mark Medina Medina Magic Are Fox Sports Radio NBA guru

850
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: of Joel Embiid to me his performance thars in. It

851
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: was concerning fouled out looks like he he's not exactly

852
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 2: acclimating to the fever rules. Am I overreacting to that

853
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: one performance or could there be an issue with Joel

854
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 2: l Embiid in the when the game real game start?

855
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you are overreacting. Here's why. I think

856
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 6: it's an usual rite of passage for players that haven't

857
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 6: played in the FIVA games. To get used to how

858
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 6: fouls are called and the fact that you can only

859
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 6: have one lesson, you can only have five thousands out

860
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 6: of six as you can in the NBA. No question

861
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 6: he's going to have to change that because one of

862
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 6: the reasons why you know, the team USA officials try

863
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 6: to recruit Joel Embiid and say hey, join us even

864
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 6: though you have dual ciens citizenship in France and you're

865
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 6: from Cameroon, is that they knew that size would matter

866
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 6: in the Olympic Games. I mean, you're thinking about Serbia

867
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 6: with Nicola Jokitchen, France with both Victor One Binyam and

868
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 6: Rudy Gobert, and you know, even with going against Greece's

869
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 6: Jonathan Stacumpo, they need to have size and they need

870
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 6: Joe em Be to put quality minutes because I think

871
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 6: Anthony Davis and Bam Autebio Franklin are going to have

872
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 6: larger front core roles even if they're not starting. And

873
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 6: Joel did well, but you can't put so much strain

874
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 6: on them, especially when you know the bottom line is

875
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 6: they want them to be healthy for when training camp starts.

876
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 2: Excellent pointsmart all right, a very interesting matchup the other

877
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: night in the Summer League, and you know what, maybe

878
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: if Joel Embiid or Kevin Durant can't go, maybe they

879
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: can pick up Donovan kling And I think he got

880
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: my shots the other night in the Summer League. You know,

881
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: And I'm dead serious, I actually think he could help him.

882
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 2: I'm not being funny. Did you see the showdown between

883
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: Stefan Castle and Devon Klington the other night in the

884
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: Summer League went head d.

885
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was very poetic because they're a

886
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 6: former Yukon teammate. I think don Yeah, I think what

887
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 6: Donovan Klingon showed is that he is one hell of

888
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 6: a defender. He didn't shoot the ball necessarily well. But

889
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 6: I think in the NBA, the real easy currency for

890
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 6: young players to get playing time, show that you care

891
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 6: about defense because a lot of times you're not going

892
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 6: to be the number one option on offense. Now, Summer League.

893
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 6: Get the Summer League. So I think when players have

894
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 6: bad games or good games, you take it for a

895
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 6: grain assault. But I think one tangible takeaway can't take

896
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 6: from Summer League as a guy's competitiveness and effort level.

897
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 6: And Donovan Klingen showed that on the defensive side of

898
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 6: the ball and what Portland's skinning the all the help

899
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 6: they can get. But if they have a defensive anchor

900
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 6: that can make stops, they at least, you know, get

901
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 6: out of the get out of the Western Conference basement.

902
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: He is seven foot two and he is an elite

903
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: shot blocker, and boy, I'll tell you just about anybody

904
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: can use that one of the big well, I'll tell

905
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 2: you what. Let me digress for just a second, because

906
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 2: we talked about this yet to night on the Ben

907
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 2: Malor Show. It's not been three days since the NBA

908
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: and in their television networks as it were, could instructed

909
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 2: that historic deal. T and T still has a couple

910
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: of days to match. What do you expect might happen,

911
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: if anything regarding T and T and the new NBA

912
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: TV deal.

913
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would be very surprised that CANT remains a

914
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 6: broadcast partner. I still think and this is just my

915
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 6: own feelings. This is no one telling me this, but

916
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 6: I feel like because of the success and inside the

917
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 6: NBA has had over the years with Ernie Johnson and

918
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 6: Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith and you know, now Shack

919
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 6: I think that version of the show will exist in

920
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 6: some mensity. Even though Ernie Johnson has been all Wreckers

921
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 6: saying he's going to be devoted to Turn. I think

922
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 6: maybe there's going to be a splay of the difference

923
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 6: where you know, that show can be sold somewhere else,

924
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 6: but he can still do his other duties on Turn.

925
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 6: But it's anybody's guest. I think givens what happens. You know,

926
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 6: when David's ass lost said the ill cited phrase we

927
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 6: don't need the NBA, I think, you know, league officials

928
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 6: and asked over didn't take kindly to that, and I

929
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 6: think it's going to bite some them, you know what.

930
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 2: That's one of those freezing cooled takes. You know, I

931
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: covered ten of the last twelve summer leagues. I just

932
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 2: simply lost interest. But one of my favorite things was

933
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 2: not just to play on the floor, but it was

934
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 2: like Madame Tussad's walking around because past present future NBA

935
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: guys in the con you know, just everywhere, right were

936
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 2: you part of the or did you were you there? Mark?

937
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 2: When when right before the tip off of the t

938
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: Wolves Pelicans they held a tribute for Jerry West, did

939
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 2: you did you participate in that or did we around

940
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: for that.

941
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't participate in, but yeah, I certainly saw

942
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 6: the tribute. It was great. I mean, Jerry West really

943
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 6: a pit of my Summer League. I remember actually seeing

944
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 6: him last summer. Even though at that point I know

945
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 6: he wasn't doing great health wise, he still made an appearance.

946
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 6: It really meant a lot to be able to still

947
00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 6: watch basketball, share his shrewd basketball analysis and and I

948
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 6: think that, you know, he was a fixture. So it's

949
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 6: very appropriate that you know, the Summer League honored him

950
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 6: with you know, the video tributes that, you know, even

951
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 6: putting out a seat reserve for him with his favorite

952
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 6: dessert with the dairy Quinn, you know Tree. And I know,

953
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 6: talking to you know, some people in the West family,

954
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 6: they thought it was very classy and spit in that

955
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 6: they did that for him.

956
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry was omnipresident at the Summer League and he

957
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: liked watching young players and I think that was a

958
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: favorite thing for him, and talking basketball. A tip of

959
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 2: the captain the Summer League. A year ago, people were

960
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: making fun of the you know, the n season tournament

961
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 2: as it were, the NBA Cup or whatever you want

962
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: to call it, but they unveiled their group draws the

963
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: other night, and I thought they pulled it off quite nicely.

964
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 2: How much anticipation is there amongst the league this year

965
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: and the players that you talked to, given the fact

966
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: that they have one NBA Cup under the belt.

967
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 6: It's a very interesting question because I think that, as

968
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 6: we saw last year, there's clearly a buy in. The

969
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 6: games meant more than it in the regular season. But Bernie,

970
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 6: I can't help but wonder if the fact that the

971
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 6: Lakers won the end season tournament is going to wind

972
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 6: up hurting the cause because we saw just how the

973
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 6: Lakers season tanked after that. And I remember talking to

974
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 6: Cedric Maxwell. I know he's a you know, a Celtics

975
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 6: broadcaster and he loves trolling the Lakers, but they'll remember

976
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 6: when the Celtics were in town against the Lakers in

977
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 6: LA for a Christmas Day showdown and he was just

978
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 6: making fun of the Laker franchise for having that in

979
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 6: season tournament banner up. So answer your question, I think

980
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 6: that that there's going to be even more of a

981
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 6: buy in because they saw that it was successful last season.

982
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 6: But I think at the same time, teams are going

983
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 6: to try to guard against, you know, the possible letdown

984
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 6: after winning a tournament in terms of just engagement, energy, level,

985
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 6: held standpoint, et cetera. And all they need to do

986
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 6: is look at the Lakers as exhibit A for the well.

987
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 2: Is there a correlation between the Lakers winning it in

988
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: November and then getting knocked out in the first round.

989
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: I don't think are going anywhere anyway, and I look,

990
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: they're being paid more money, the players like that. The

991
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 2: numbers are clear, the games were more well attended and

992
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 2: better watched on TV. I think, you know, it was

993
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 2: an event that people looked askance at and then they

994
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: pulled it off.

995
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 6: Look, I think it would be a stretch to say

996
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 6: there's a direct correlation with that the Lakers lost in

997
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 6: the first round because they're just didn't have a great

998
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 6: roster and you know, even with Lebron James, Andy Davis

999
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 6: planned their best, their supporting casts in consistent and help

1000
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 6: that they face the Denver Nuggets. But I think that

1001
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 6: there was a correlation between the Lakers winning the n

1002
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 6: season tournament and then having you know, some real real

1003
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 6: struggles the next few weeks after that. I think you know,

1004
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 6: the Lakers, even though you know, they knew they're not winning.

1005
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 6: It's not the same as winning a championship, but it

1006
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 6: was still some achievement and some of the adrenaline rush,

1007
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 6: you know. Once that died down all of a sudden,

1008
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 6: they're having to play still play games. I think naturally

1009
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 6: it led to some of those poor performances, but that

1010
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 6: was only in the short term in December. It didn't excuse,

1011
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 6: you know, their shortcomings later on in the season.

1012
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: It's always possible. They got a player coming in this

1013
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: year that could put him put the Lakers over the hump, though,

1014
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 2: so we'll have to see rhymes with Brownie James, so

1015
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 2: we'll see how he's a lockdown to Everybody keeps telling

1016
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 2: me how good he is.

1017
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 6: Hey, real quickly, Hey, he's going to lead the South

1018
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 6: Bay Lakers to a G League championship.

1019
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 2: Actually, and mark my words, the fact that'll be just fascinating.

1020
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: And I saw where he was open to playing in

1021
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 2: the G League. That's really nice of him that he

1022
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 2: can dictate terms is Rob Polinka. There's a meme going

1023
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: around the internet. Now he's shaking his head. Okay, at

1024
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 2: some point, we got to stop peeing on each other's

1025
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: shoes and saying it's raining. Let's say that for another day.

1026
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: I want to give Jalen Brunson his props. Here's a

1027
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: guy who I think left more money on the table

1028
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: than any player in the NBA history this earliness, he

1029
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: really really wants to win. Ever so quickly, Mark, what

1030
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 2: were your thoughts when Jalen Brunson took the hometown discount

1031
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,839
Speaker 2: so they could win a championship.

1032
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that leaned into it. There were signs

1033
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 6: that indicate that either.

1034
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: Scenario would happen.

1035
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 6: Why he would wait, Well, he could make significantly more money.

1036
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 6: I think one hundred and thirteen million more dollars, that's correct,

1037
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 6: million more dollars. But I think that on the other

1038
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 6: side of the coin, some players don't want to run

1039
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 6: the risk, like they'd rather have the security. And I

1040
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 6: think that whether whether a player opts in for the

1041
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 6: best deal or does something like this, I think, you know,

1042
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 6: for me that has no stake in it. It's all

1043
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 6: to the player and what's best for them. But I

1044
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 6: think how you analyze this situation is that clearly it's

1045
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 6: one of many examples that show that Jalen Brunson feels,

1046
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 6: you know, like they have he has a really strong

1047
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 6: relationship with the mixed organization parts the fact that you know,

1048
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 6: his dad is on the coaching staff. But you know,

1049
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 6: I think there's a trust in Todd Thibodeau, trust and

1050
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 6: management and a feeling that if I do this, this

1051
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 6: will help the organization continue to have a good roster

1052
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 6: around me. And that isn't always the case. I mean,

1053
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 6: we look at Lebron James for example, he was willing

1054
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 6: to make that pay cut and take less than the

1055
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 6: max of the legend legend actually, but you know what, Bernie,

1056
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 6: I actually think it's sincere because I.

1057
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 2: Know he did it fourteen years ago, Mark, when he

1058
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 2: I know.

1059
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 6: But we're not buying it, are you.

1060
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 2: No, he did it fourteen years ago with the heat

1061
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 2: when he hadn't won a championship. I understand he didn't

1062
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 2: want to do it in Cleveland because I don't think

1063
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 2: his relationship was that great with Dan Gilbert, and he

1064
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: talked about it, but he didn't do it. And at

1065
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 2: the end of the day, don't tell me, show me,

1066
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: and I did. Jalen Brunson thing to me, Mark is

1067
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 2: a really feel good story. Here's a guy who loves

1068
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 2: that in New York, like Lebron loves living in la

1069
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 2: he loves the franchise, he loves Tibbs, he loves Josh

1070
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: Hart And you nailed it, Mark. That's why I love

1071
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: having Yon. If you waited till after twenty twenty five

1072
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 2: free agency, he'd have made another one hundred and thirteen

1073
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 2: million dollars. I'll tell you, I don't know where loyalty starts,

1074
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 2: but one hundred and thirteen million it's a pretty good

1075
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 2: starting point.

1076
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, third point, I will say this, I think, hypothetically,

1077
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 6: if the Lakers told Lebron, hey, we're about to have

1078
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 6: Klay Thompson or Demargarosen or James Harden, I don't think

1079
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 6: that all of a sudden you're going to see Lebron

1080
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 6: have a deer in a headlights moment and have moments

1081
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 6: of regret. I think that he would back it up.

1082
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 6: Now to your point, were there all serer motives and

1083
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 6: gaining that messaging now post the boys or probably, but

1084
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 6: I think that if the Lakers were able to get

1085
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 6: an actual player, he would have put his money where

1086
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 6: his mouth is because of what he did in Miami.

1087
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 6: But to your broader point with the Knickson Bronson, yeah,

1088
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 6: Matchmad and and they've been a model of dysfunction for

1089
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 6: a while. So I think it's a breath of fresh

1090
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 6: air that a big market like the Knicks and a

1091
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,760
Speaker 6: premier franchise they're all finally doing the right things together.

1092
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: Well. And it's an esoteric argument, so I cannot disprove

1093
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 2: your point whatsoever regarding Lebron, But we do know that

1094
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 2: DeMar de Rosen got twenty six million and Lebron's got

1095
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: fifty one. So if you're telling me he would have

1096
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 2: been willing to reduce his annual salary from fifty one

1097
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 2: million to twenty five million, I can't argue the other way.

1098
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 2: But I'm not feeling it. I'm just being candid with you,

1099
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 2: my friend.

1100
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough. I mean, I think the bottom line is,

1101
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 6: you know, I'm not going to excuse the Lakers for

1102
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 6: basically not making any moves, you know, as far as

1103
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 6: roster changes its free agency, but it wasn't a lack

1104
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 6: for trying. I think really what it comes down to

1105
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 6: is that they're still feeling the consequences of the Russell

1106
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 6: Westbrook trade. Good because they you know, rectified it partly

1107
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 6: with eventually trading them and get in some more depths.

1108
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 6: But we saw this last season that supporting cast has

1109
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 6: its limitations as well, and I think that that's where

1110
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 6: the Sickens came home to rust this off Toed and Matt.

1111
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 6: You know they put those players up for sale in

1112
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 6: the market in the marketplace suggested that they weren't interested.

1113
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 2: Mark, great stuff is always appreciated. And as I say,

1114
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 2: when we sign off every Saturday, and we did it

1115
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: last Saturday, who knows what the news cycle will bring

1116
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: us when I have you on next week and never

1117
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: seems to feel and you got your finger on the

1118
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: pulse of ball. I appreciate you, Mark.

1119
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 6: I appreciate you as well. I'm sure we'll have plenty

1120
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 6: of you at their batt.

1121
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, hey look forward to that. Thanks Mark, Joy

1122
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: the rest of your weekend. That is Mark Medina, our

1123
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. As you can see, no

1124
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 2: matter what you throw at him, he very much has

1125
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: his finger on the pulse and is as well prepared

1126
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: as anybody'll have. I want to take him in at

1127
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 2: coming up to really give Jalen brunts and his flowers.

1128
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: I always think the NBA look the NFL is better

1129
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 2: when the Raiders are good that's just a fact. And

1130
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are good. Baseball's better when the Yankees are good,

1131
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers are good. The NBA is better when

1132
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: the Knicks are good. And I'm talking about maybe getting

1133
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals. I know Jason Smith would love

1134
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 2: to see that. I would love to see that. I

1135
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: want to take a minute to share with you. I

1136
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 2: think his story has been underreported. Why Jalen Brunson agreed

1137
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 2: to give the Knicks the biggest financial break hometown deal

1138
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: in NBA history. I think it's quite a story. I'm

1139
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle. We are company line from Las Vegas, Fox

1140
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Tirerat dot Com Studios. Keep it locked right here.

1141
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1142
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: All right back to the Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports

1143
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 2: Radio Company line from the Tiract dot Com studios here

1144
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. As we were finishing up our segment

1145
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 2: with Mark Medina Medina Magic every Saturday Night midnight on

1146
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show, we referenced Jalen Brunson. He's agreed

1147
00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 2: to what I believe is the biggest money favor that

1148
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: player has ever passed along to his employer in NBA history,

1149
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: if you would have just waited till twenty twenty five,

1150
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 2: he would have signed. And then, well, let me just

1151
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 2: break it down for you, all right. The team, the Knicks,

1152
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: were capped on how much they could pay brunts and

1153
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: they would you know, they were limited as to what

1154
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: they could do unless he were to wait till twenty

1155
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 2: twenty five and reap with the organization then. But Brunson

1156
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 2: decided well before that, well before he would become free

1157
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: agency eligible. He said, I want to stay in New York.

1158
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: I love living here. I love being a part of

1159
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 2: this franchise. In his own words, he valued the security

1160
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: of today's dollar versus the potential of more dollars tomorrow.

1161
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,439
Speaker 2: He wanted to continue playing for coach Tom Thibodeau. He's

1162
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 2: got his Villanova buddies playing alongside of him. He believes

1163
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 2: they're poised to challenge for a title. He considers them

1164
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: a contender, So why mess around so on prioritizing how

1165
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: much of a bag he could get, which some people

1166
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 2: are critical of, and that's their problem. This is a

1167
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 2: young man, much like Patrick Mahomes did years ago with

1168
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: his head screwed on right and he's very well grounded

1169
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 2: and he chills with his friends. His best friend, I

1170
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 2: believe is Josh Hard. He said, hey, I don't want

1171
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: let's not mess around. So he signed an extension that'll

1172
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 2: pay him one hundred and fifty six million over the

1173
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 2: next four years. If he'd have waited one year, he

1174
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: would have gotten two hundred and sixty nine million dollars

1175
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: and one hundred and thirteen million of it's guaranteed. But

1176
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: no player in history, I don't know about any sports,

1177
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: certainly the NBA has left this much money on the table,

1178
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: especially when you consider he's relatively early in the prime

1179
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 2: of his career. Now, this isn't the first discount it's

1180
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: ever happened. Dirk Novinski about ten years ago, took a

1181
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: three year deal to return to the Mavericks, where he

1182
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: could have gotten they say as much as four hundred

1183
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 2: percent more had he chosen to but mit Noviski was

1184
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 2: in his thirties. Tim Duncan did the same thing so

1185
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 2: he could stay with the San Antonio Spurs for the

1186
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 2: rest of his career. And so Jalen Brunson is doing

1187
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 2: something today that's unheard of by today's athlete. He's opting

1188
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 2: for a lesser contract instead of hitting the free agency market,

1189
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 2: where he would have been eligible next year for a

1190
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: max contract with it projected about two hundred and seventy

1191
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: million over five years. Right, Brunston gave what I thought

1192
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: was some very well grounded, well calculated reasons. He wants security,

1193
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 2: he appreciated the security. He knows he's going to make

1194
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 2: more money than you know, ninety nine point nine percent

1195
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 2: of the people in this in this world. And he

1196
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 2: wants to protect himself against injury as well. Remember when

1197
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 2: Dennis Shrewder last year a couple three years ago, turned

1198
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: down eighty four man of the Lakers ended up signing

1199
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 2: for like eight. You know what, Sometimes you strake while

1200
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 2: the iron's out of someone off one hundred and fIF

1201
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: six million dollars and you love where you're at, why

1202
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 2: do you say no? Now here's the other good part.

1203
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 2: This is becoming really sort of a remarkable situation for

1204
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 2: the Knicks. Now the you know, the Knicks are open

1205
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 2: to perhaps you know, improve their team even better. But

1206
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,439
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is, when it goes down

1207
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 2: in history, I don't know that anybody will overs surpass

1208
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson for doing his employer a favor. Right now,

1209
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 2: the Knicks can move forward knowing you have Brunson under contract,

1210
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 2: a very team friendly contract for the next four years.

1211
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: His new deal doesn't kick in until after the twenty

1212
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 2: five to twenty six season. He's got a player option

1213
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: for the final year. But when it's when you know,

1214
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: when you flesh it out in the wash, it just

1215
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: feels like it's a win win for both sides. And

1216
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 2: New York like most teams want us, they want to

1217
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 2: stay below the second apron, not just for this coming year,

1218
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 2: but for the following seasons and beyond. Remember the Knicks,

1219
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 2: they just traded five first round picks, including foreign protected ones,

1220
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 2: to get McCall bridges earlier this offseason because they believe

1221
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 2: they've got this title window. It's it's upon them. Seized

1222
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: the moment, right, and I think extending Brunson just I

1223
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 2: think made made their chances to win it all even better.

1224
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, mckil bridges is also want a

1225
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 2: fairly bargain contract as well. We only make twenty three

1226
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 2: point I say, only twenty three point three million this season,

1227
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 2: so when you add it up and you look at

1228
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: the next they've only got one hundred and fifty three

1229
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: million committed to nine players. Brunton Bridges heard og onob

1230
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson, Dante Di Vincenzo, Miles McBride, Tyler coolek and

1231
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,439
Speaker 2: the second apern appears to be you know, it's gonna

1232
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: be around two undred and eight million. I explained what

1233
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 2: that happened to my show last week, and I think

1234
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: the Knicks are going to be They're going to be

1235
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 2: beneficiaries of this deal. And the truth of the matter

1236
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 2: is Jalen Brunson he made a he made a qualitative

1237
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: decision and a value judgment. I want to sign this deal.

1238
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to get rich, although relatively speaking, one

1239
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six man. He did it to give

1240
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 2: himself and his team the best chance to win. To that,

1241
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: I say, bravo. All right. People were talking about Nolan

1242
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Ryan this past week and disrespecting him, and I want

1243
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 2: to juxtapose the Nolan Ryan history with Paul Skeins because

1244
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 2: everybody's always afraid that, you know, these hard throwers are

1245
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 2: going to get hurt and blah blah blah. Often they do.

1246
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you Nolan Ryan threw as hard as

1247
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 2: anybody in nineteen seventy one, they clocked him at one

1248
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. But it was a primitive It

1249
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 2: was a primitive radar gun. If it was even radar,

1250
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell they used. Mighty used

1251
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 2: a sun dial for all I know back then, but

1252
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 2: they are estimating that had they used today's radar gun,

1253
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan's fastbat would have been one hundred and six

1254
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: hundred and seven. Well, you know what, throw it hard,

1255
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 2: never bother him, I will tell. I want to share

1256
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 2: with you some unbelievable Nolan Ryan's stats that will make

1257
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 2: your head spin. But first we go to our guy,

1258
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 2: the chef, Kevin Wyn with the latest.

1259
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're in our last weekend before the All Star breaks,

1260
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 7: so plenty of baseball action. But the Dodgers, I think

1261
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 7: you probably can't wait for the Allstar break to get here.

1262
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 7: After blowing a five run lead against the Detroit Tigers,

1263
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 7: they end up losing it in extra innings eleven to nine.

1264
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 7: And some bad news for the Dodgers as they were

1265
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 7: open to maybe get Dustin May, one of their great

1266
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 7: young pitchers, back for the stretch run. But I was

1267
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 7: announced earlier today that he will miss the rest of

1268
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 7: the season with what has to be the strangest sports

1269
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 7: injury I've ever heard of, a torn esophagainst it good.

1270
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 2: Dinner, right, he was at dinner and he held a

1271
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 2: terrible pain in his stomach. Isn't that what happened.

1272
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 3: Yet something like that?

1273
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't read the exact full details of it,

1274
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 7: but a torn esophagus is what he has officially been

1275
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 7: listed as having and he is out for the rest

1276
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 7: of the season. So the Dodgers pitching staff agetting even

1277
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 7: are there. As for their rival in the NLS, the Diamondbacks,

1278
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 7: the defending National League champions, win big against the Toronto

1279
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 7: Blue Jays twelve one, Corbyn Carrol with a couple of

1280
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 7: home runs and six RBIs Aaron Judge hitting his league

1281
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 7: leading thirty fourth home run of the season. That's a

1282
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 7: Yankee record. Before the All Star break in now New

1283
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 7: York tied after they beat the Baltimoreos six win. They're

1284
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 7: tied with Baltimore, a top of the Al East. The

1285
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 7: Orioles really in a tailspin right now. They have lost

1286
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 7: their last five straight. It was Ernie Banks who said

1287
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 7: let's play two, and the Cardinals and Cubs did just that,

1288
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 7: but Saint Louis getting two wins in that heated rivalry

1289
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,919
Speaker 7: eleven three to five to four. The finals, Saint Louis

1290
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 7: wins each of those games Padres and their five game

1291
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 7: losing streak, They shout out the Braves four to nothing.

1292
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 7: The Mets win their fifth in a row as they

1293
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 7: take down the Colorado Rockies seven to three. Texas wins

1294
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 7: and ten innings against the Astros two wine and the

1295
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 7: Cincinnati Reds, handing Miami their fifth straight loss ten to six.

1296
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 7: To the final. US women's soccer wins Reolympic Exhibition against

1309
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 2: By the way, Mark Ramsey did not get to participate

1310
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 2: in our jersey evaluation dress for success for the Major

1311
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 2: League All Star Game? Mark, did you have any thoughts

1312
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 2: on that goofy jersey going to be wearing for the

1313
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 2: All Star Game Tuesday?

1314
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 9: I don't like it.

1315
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 10: I would rather just wear the traditional jersey of your

1316
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 10: team because just when everybody you know lines up, I'm

1317
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 10: thinking about the games from the seventies and they guess

1318
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 10: some of the eighties too, just to see all the

1319
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 10: uniforms and just to be reminded of how many of

1320
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 10: them have the theme of red letters or just pen stripes,

1321
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 10: or just the various colors. Like you said, looking at

1322
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 10: the Detroit Tiger, the old fashioned d just the lineup

1323
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 10: of all the uniforms was just a great thing to

1324
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 10: look at. And I think they used to just wear

1325
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 10: their their home jersey or yeah, the home team.

1326
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 2: Would you know if it was played in America, League Park,

1327
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 2: the America leg would wear their homes okay, and then

1328
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 2: n Ashley would with their roads. And you're right, the

1329
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 2: old English t the Boston Red Sox Yankee pen stripes

1330
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:54,560
Speaker 2: very distinctive.

1331
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 10: Well like if the White Sox wore their white and

1332
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 10: red penstrip just you know, depending on what happened that year.

1333
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,639
Speaker 10: So it was just just that traditional look of the uniform,

1334
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 10: which just really great.

1335
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's that nostalgia that brings the All Star Game,

1336
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 2: makes it come to life. So I'm guessing for one

1337
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four dollars, you're not looking to buy

1338
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 2: one for your favorite that would be a new that

1339
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: would be a hard pass.

1340
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 10: I mean I would buy a hockey uniform before I

1341
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 10: buy that. But you know, just like to get a

1342
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 10: black Hawk jersey. But I understand that MLB tries to

1343
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 10: make a jersey so that they can get I guess

1344
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 10: younger fans involved and make them want something, or just

1345
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 10: just their idea of a basic money grab to get

1346
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 10: everybody to buy the new jersey. But you know, if

1347
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 10: you're dashed alive, you know you want the jersey that

1348
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 10: your dad, you know, helped you fall in love with

1349
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 10: a team or You just want the team jersey of

1350
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 10: your favorite player. You just want that jersey. I don't

1351
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 10: know if everybody wants to go with this so called

1352
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 10: new It's.

1353
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: A bare league softball jersey. If you were in that

1354
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: thing around your local Pigley Wiggly, no one's gonna look

1355
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 2: twice at it. But you know what, we have fifteen thousand,

1356
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: For instance, we have fifteen thousand transplanted Michiganers that live

1357
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. And if I'm walking around the store

1358
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: and I see someone in a Detroit Tiger's jersey or

1359
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 2: Michigan Wolverine jersey, I'll strike up a conversation next to

1360
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 2: you know, we're like old friends, right, But if you

1361
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 2: see him in the America League All Star jersey, I think, oh,

1362
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: this guy is a Bowling league tonight. You know that's

1363
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 2: that's all anyway.

1364
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like a bowling jersey, which is fine,

1365
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,560
Speaker 10: But then does not baseball or a softball jersey that

1366
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:38,440
Speaker 10: you if you don't want that, you want the baseball

1367
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 10: jersey of you know, of.

1368
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 2: The team you want. You want the authenticities what you want,

1369
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 2: all right? So much has been made about pictures getting hurt,

1370
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,839
Speaker 2: getting pulled out of no hitters. They're protecting Paul Skins,

1371
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 2: They're protecting their investment. Well, you know, I gotta tell you,

1372
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 2: and I'm tired of hearing this. It's come up more

1373
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,879
Speaker 2: than once, and now this is what's the Paul Skeins.

1374
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 2: You know, being pulled after nine nine pitches the other

1375
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 2: day is what made me want to talk about this tonight.

1376
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,919
Speaker 2: Ever so quickly, for whatever reason, recently, there are arguments.

1377
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 2: I hear them on the radio, I hear them in public.

1378
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 2: An argument will erupt as to whether or not Nolan

1379
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 2: Ryan truly belongs among baseball's elites. Right. They say his

1380
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 2: lack of cy Young Awards leaves him outside the top

1381
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 2: tier of pitchers. And I am not buying that for

1382
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 2: one second, because if you just take a minute to

1383
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 2: look at some of Nolan Ryan's unbelievable career stats, they

1384
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 2: don't seem to be human, they don't seem to be real. Now, remember,

1385
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 2: he spent many many years in the major leagues, played

1386
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: for Houston, the Angels, the Rangers, and he started out

1387
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 2: with the Mets. They gave up on him because of

1388
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 2: control problems. He was traded for Jim Fergosi in the

1389
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 2: seventy early seventies, and I will tell you it was

1390
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 2: a treat whenever he pitched for the Angels. And when

1391
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 2: you look at his stats, they just jump at you, Okay.

1392
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 2: In his career, he struck out five seven hundred and

1393
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 2: fourteen hitters. That's the most in Major League baseball history.

1394
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 2: And Randy Johnson is in second place, but he's behind

1395
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan by a thousand strikeouts. And Randy Johnson was

1396
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 2: a premier strikeout pitcher. If you want to appreciate how

1397
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: crazy this record is for a pitcher making their debut today.

1398
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: To reach Nolan Ryan's total, you'd have to average about

1399
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 2: nine and a half strikeouts per game while pitching thirty

1400
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 2: games a year for twenty years. You have to have

1401
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 2: six hundred career starts. You can never miss the start,

1402
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: and you've got a average nine and a half strikeouts a game,

1403
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 2: and you know that's you know, not gonna happen because

1404
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 2: they only allow guys to go five innings these days.

1405
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 2: The currently Zach grink he leads all active major league pitchers.

1406
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 2: He had start in five hundred and forty games in

1407
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 2: his career, and you know what, he's pretty impressive in

1408
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 2: his career, he struck out two thy nine hundred and

1409
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 2: seventy seven hitters'suck averaging three hundred strackouts. Here for ten years,

1410
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 2: he's still twenty seven hundred behind Nolan Ryan. That's what

1411
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 2: makes these stats so insane. Not only are they crazy,

1412
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 2: they're miles ahead of who's behind them. Over Ryan's career,

1413
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 2: he either led the American League or the National League

1414
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 2: in strikeouts eleven times. Now you know he I get

1415
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 2: it that Walter Johnson did it twelve Okay, Whipedie Doo,

1416
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 2: he did it one hundred years ago, and I think

1417
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Ryan did it against much different competition. Taking nothing away

1418
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 2: from Walter Johnson. Here's what is also insane about the

1419
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan statistics. He led the league in strikeouts in

1420
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,600
Speaker 2: three different decades. He won the award seven times in

1421
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 2: the seventies, three times in the eighties, and once in

1422
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 2: the nineties. Only player in history to win this award

1423
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 2: the yearly struckout leader in three different decades. You want

1424
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:14,799
Speaker 2: some more perspective to help you visualize how long Ryan pitched.

1425
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 2: He struck out Ken Griffyr and Kim Griffith Jr. He

1426
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 2: struck out Barry Bonds, and his father, Bobby Bonds, and

1427
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 2: he struck out all three Alomars that got to the

1428
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: major leagues, including Sandy Senior, Sandy Junior, and Roberto I'm

1429
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 2: not done. I got a couple more Nolan Ryan's stats

1430
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 2: to give you, because it's too important while we lollygag

1431
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 2: around and baby these guys. And I'm sorry, that's what's happening,

1432
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 2: and the fans are suffering for it. You heard it

1433
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 2: Friday night in our midnight hour. If Nolan Ryan can

1434
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 2: do it, hey, it never stopped him. Just food for thought.

1435
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 2: We'll put a cap around this. Coming up, I'm Bernie Frida.

1436
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 2: We are coming toy line from the Las Vegas Fox

1437
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Tireck dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here.

1438
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1439
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 2: All right back at the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio,

1440
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 2: come to you live from the Tarak dot Com studios

1441
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 2: here in Las Vegas. Coming up top of the hour,

1442
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fix the home run derby. There was an

1443
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:19,640
Speaker 2: ingenius There's an ingenious idea that came up very spontaneously

1444
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 2: about a year ago. I thought for sure they would

1445
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 2: follow up on it, and they haven't, and I'm gonna

1446
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 2: share with you. I'll bringing the crew to see what

1447
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 2: they think. Later on on the show, got a tweet

1448
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 2: from Steve Rodriguez, a very thoughtful sports fan, tweets in

1449
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 2: a lots as Bernie, you have to defend Nolan Ryan,

1450
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,759
Speaker 2: come on, man, And I know I didn't really direct

1451
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 2: this at him. I said, Ben, Steve, you've been paying attention.

1452
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: Nolan has really been getting dissed. I'm not kidding people.

1453
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 2: You know the number of losses he had, the number

1454
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 2: of walks, the lack of Sion awards. But he's got

1455
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:57,640
Speaker 2: these stats that are undeniable. And I just gave you

1456
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 2: his stats about yearly strikeouts, gave you stats about total strikeouts,

1457
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 2: the number of decades, the father and son combos. He

1458
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 2: struck out right across the board, just dominating. And I

1459
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 2: told you I saw him pitch in person many times.

1460
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 2: In the early seventies. They clocked him at one hundred

1461
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 2: point nine miles an hour. It was very primitive radar gun.

1462
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 2: They now surmise that had they been using today's technology

1463
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 2: as Fastball, would have been like one hundred and six

1464
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 2: miles an hour. So take Paul skeins and add three

1465
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 2: or four or five more miles an hour on it.

1466
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, you know, project that over

1467
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 2: twenty some years now. Perhaps you know. One of the

1468
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 2: reasons people disineal the Ryan is he does have a record,

1469
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 2: considering you know, and this should not come as a

1470
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 2: surprise considering how many innings he pinched, because in addition

1471
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 2: to being an incredibly dominant pitcher with a guy who

1472
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 2: could just get you out on reputation, no one wanted

1473
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 2: to dig in against this guy, and he was a

1474
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 2: tremendous competitor. You saw what happened when Robin vent Turn

1475
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 2: charged them mount in nineteen ninety three, right, and he

1476
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 2: was in you know, Nolan Ryan broke in in the sixties,

1477
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: all right with the Mets, and he got rid of

1478
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 2: him because of the control problems. I'm traded for Jim Fergozi.

1479
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,759
Speaker 2: But he did pitch a lot of innings. He also

1480
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 2: set the record with two thousand, seven hundred and ninety

1481
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,839
Speaker 2: five non intentional walks. He threw a lot of walks.

1482
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 2: He had almost one thousand more walks than Steve Carlton,

1483
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 2: who's in second place, and he averaged a lot of

1484
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 2: walks per season, and you know sometimes over one hundred

1485
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 2: and twenty he did that over one hundred times or

1486
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 2: eleven times, and juxtaposed that now and last season, not

1487
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 2: a single pitcher a lot more than a hundred walks.

1488
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 2: So there's a debate around Ryan's place in baseball history.

1489
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 2: But one of the real things is you can't debate

1490
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 2: is he did walk a lot of guys. But he

1491
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 2: also threw two hundred and twenty two complete games in

1492
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:53,879
Speaker 2: his career. So you know, if you go to Baseball

1493
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 2: dash Reference and look at Ryan's numbers, I suppose you know,

1494
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 2: you can pick it apart, like you you look at

1495
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 2: the wart on Lincoln's nose. But this guy was the

1496
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 2: true strikeout pitcher of his generation. When you look at

1497
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,759
Speaker 2: you know, just the consummate strikeout pitcher. Five seven hundred

1498
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: and fourteen strikeouts in his career. That's a thousand more

1499
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 2: than Randy Johnson. You saw Randy Johnson pitch, no one

1500
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 2: wanted to dig in against him as well. So if

1501
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 2: you broke in to day at twenty years old, like

1502
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Paul Skeins, all you have to do is average nine

1503
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts pitched thirty games a year for

1504
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 2: the next twenty years and you catch Nolan Ryan. That's

1505
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 2: it now, Zach Greenke. He leads all major league pitchers

1506
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 2: with five hundred and forty games started. He's active, and

1507
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 2: he also has a very impressive two thousand, nine hundred

1508
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 2: and seventy seven strikeouts. That's still twenty seven hundred away

1509
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 2: behind Nolan Ryan. And again I mentioned the fact that

1510
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: three different decades he led the league in strikeouts seven

1511
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 2: times in the seventies seven out of ten, three times

1512
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 2: in the eighties, and once in a nineties. The only

1513
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 2: player to do that three different decades. Yeah, he struck

1514
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 2: out Kendergriffy Sr. And kran Griffy Junior. Struck out Barry

1515
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Bonds and his dad, Bobby Bonds. Do I need to

1516
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 2: go on? Look Nolan Ryan, come on, get off his back,

1517
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 2: coming up a home run derby. That'll fix this. I'll

Speaker 2: tell you about it. Keep it locked to the Bernie

1528
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 2: years been a glorious event. I think it's lost some luster,

1529
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 2: but nonetheless still worth watching a specially since Paul Skins

1530
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 2: is starting now you'll probably get to face the likes

1531
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,759
Speaker 2: of your own Judge and Juan Soto and Glennard Henderson

1532
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,759
Speaker 2: right out of the gate. So maybe we'll see some history.

1533
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 2: We'll see Monday is the home run Derby. Now, you know,

1534
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 2: I hate to come on like a vegetarian beef inspector

1535
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,600
Speaker 2: in a British slaughterhouse, but I've had about enough of

1536
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 2: the home run Derby. I think it's actually jumped the shark,

1537
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 2: and I have an idea. It's not my idea. I

1538
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 2: did not come up with this, but I want to

1539
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 2: advance it once again. I was on a couple of

1540
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 2: weeks ago with Arnie Span You're sitting in for Jason

1541
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,920
Speaker 2: and Mike on a Thursday night, and I shared this

1542
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 2: with Arnie. It turns out last year during the you know,

1543
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 2: I guess it was maybe during the All Star Game.

1544
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 2: And by the way, remember how they used to have

1545
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 2: old timers games. I don't know they do that anymore

1546
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 2: in the various days. Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

1547
01:20:54,040 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 2: Someone can tweet at me. I want to say it

1548
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 2: was either it had to be during the All Star

1549
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 2: Game last year. It started innotantly. Actually it was it

1550
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 2: was during the Home Run Derby because Ken Griffy made

1551
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,680
Speaker 2: an appearance. Ken Griffy Junior made an appearance on the

1552
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 2: MLB network all right.

1553
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 10: And.

1554
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 2: The question I'm not sure how it was set up,

1555
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 2: but the context was this that Griffy was looking at

1556
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 2: the field and you know, here's a guy who's fifty, Now,

1557
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 2: could you do that? Could you still do that? Could

1558
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 2: you maybe be in a home run derby and win?

1559
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 2: Could you compete against the current players? And Griffy said,

1560
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 2: you know, very matter of factly, but very innocently, yeah,

1561
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 2: I could do that. And all of a sudden, now

1562
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 2: it started to become a thing. It's my understanding that,

1563
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 2: you know, Albert Poolholes got wind of it and they

1564
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,599
Speaker 2: kind of looked at each other and said, could you

1565
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 2: think you could really do it. And Griffy said I

1566
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 2: could do it, Andool said, well, if you can do it,

1567
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 2: I can do it. And the next thing, you know,

1568
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 2: Jim told me wade in He says, you know, if

1569
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,560
Speaker 2: you just look at Ken Griffy's swing, it's pure as special.

1570
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 2: You know, how many home runs could he still hit

1571
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 2: with that swing? And how cool would it be to

1572
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 2: see Ken Griffy Junior go deep? How cool would it

1573
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 2: be for Albert Pools to do that? That would be

1574
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 2: incredibly cool. So all of a sudden there starts this

1575
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: conversation about, wait a minute, could there be an old

1576
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 2: Timers home run Derby? There was an old Timers there

1577
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 2: used to be old Timers games. Why not an old

1578
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 2: Timers Derby home run Derby? And the next thing, you know,

1579
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of players chimed in that we're interested. I

1580
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 2: think Jim told me said he was interested. Here's a

1581
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 2: Hall of famer. How about Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, Jason Giambi,

1582
01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa. Dare I say, Barry Bonds, tell

1583
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 2: me you wouldn't love to see that. You heard him

1584
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 2: talking when they played the game in rick Woodfield and

1585
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter asked him how he would have done against

1586
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 2: Satchel Paige, and Bonds kind of went off on him

1587
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 2: and said, what you know, did you fall your head?

1588
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 2: I did. I'd go deep off Satchel Page. And by

1589
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 2: the way, let's not forget Ken. Griffid Junior won the

1590
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 2: Home Run Derby in nineteen ninety four. He won it

1591
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,639
Speaker 2: again in nineteen ninety eight, and he won it again

1592
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine. So all of a sudden, like

1593
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 2: I said, Griffy strolls by the MLB network guys and

1594
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 2: he looks at Poolholes. He says, if you do it,

1595
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 2: I'll do it, and Poolhole said, let's do it? Why not?

1596
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 2: And what does that mean? If you do it, I'll

1597
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:50,000
Speaker 2: do it. Well. Then, later on that night, apparently Griffy

1598
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 2: told a very funny story about his time as the

1599
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 2: hitting coach for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic,

1600
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 2: and after days of hearing players darren him prove he

1601
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 2: could still hit, Griffy finally had enough, so he called

1602
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 2: his wife and said, bring me my bat, bring me Lucille.

1603
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 2: That was the name of his bat, And you know

1604
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 2: where it went from there. When the player saw him

1605
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 2: with the bat the trash talk hit another level. Then

1606
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 2: finally Mookie Bets told him you ain't got it no more.

1607
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 2: I bet you couldn't go deep intense swinging, and Griffy

1608
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 2: said you would lose that bet. Griffy digs in fifty

1609
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 2: three years old, gets into the cage and did exactly

1610
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 2: what he told everybody he could do. And then the

1611
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 2: segment rolled along and then you know, Greg Amsinger, I

1612
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 2: guess of the MLB network, you know, said something about

1613
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 2: if Pete Alonso wins one more, that would be his

1614
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 2: third Derby. That means he could tie Kane Griffy Junior

1615
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,559
Speaker 2: for the most ever and if you think came Griffy Jr.

1616
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 2: Was not going to respond to that and let that

1617
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 2: go by. Uh. He said something along the lines, are

1618
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 2: you familiar with my work? If I got I had

1619
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 2: a year to prepare for next year when it's just

1620
01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 2: me and Pete. Griffy said, right there on the air,

1621
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 2: it's like Rocky and Apollo ring the bell in an

1622
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 2: empty cage, ding ding, Let's go. And Amsinger said, Wow,

1623
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 2: you've got a lot of confidence. I think you really

1624
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 2: believe you could still win one. Griffy had to look

1625
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 2: on his face and said, of course I do. Now,

1626
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:22,799
Speaker 2: Griffy was talking about winning a home run derby against

1627
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 2: current players. I'm gonna tell you something, wouldn't bet against

1628
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 2: the guy. I don't know if you'd do it or not,

1629
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 2: but I sure as Helle wouldn't bet against the guy.

1630
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 2: And that's when the other players said, I jump in

1631
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: there too. You're talking about Jim Tomey saying that a

1632
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,679
Speaker 2: real gentleman got only hit six hundred and twelve career

1633
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 2: home runs himself. And the first thing Jim Tomy did

1634
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 2: was reach for a cell and he sent a text

1635
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 2: to Amstinger and he said, if Griffy's going to get ready,

1636
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm jumping in there too. So, all a sudden, you

1637
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 2: got two legends in five minutes. The next day, Albert

1638
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 2: Poolols was hanging out the MLB Network production trailer along

1639
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: with the crew and Harold Renners, Reynolds and Yonder Alonso,

1640
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 2: and they started talking about the derby of dreams. You got, Griffy,

1641
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 2: you got, told me you got pool Holes Pools, I

1642
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 2: would do it in the second, and all of a sudden,

1643
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,759
Speaker 2: a few minutes later, pool Holes takes a walk outside.

1644
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 2: Who's he run into? He runs into David Ortiz and

1645
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 2: David Ortiz and they start to lay out this brainstorm

1646
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 2: to Big Poppy. Guess what happened next? Pool Holes sauntered

1647
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 2: back on the production table. He goes, I just saw

1648
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 2: David Ortiz. I told him about our idea. He said,

1649
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 2: he's in all the way. So now you got four

1650
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 2: Legends alert. Pool Holes Jim told me Ken Griffy Jr.

1651
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 2: And David Ortiz and they say, wait, we can call

1652
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 2: this the Legends Home Run Derby. It literally happened that fast.

1653
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: They began brainstorming on how it could work. There was

1654
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: some thoughts about what the event might look like, and

1655
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 2: they said to themselves, how about this. You play the

1656
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Futures Game, which they played today, and you have the

1657
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 2: Legends Home Run Derby right after on Saturday night in

1658
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 2: prime time. And here's a thought. The bottom line, all

1659
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 2: the kids that are in the Futures Game, they can

1660
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: maybe join in as well. But after the game, they

1661
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 2: put up their chairs and the dugouts and they started

1662
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 2: to sit around and talk with the Futures Game kids

1663
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 2: and said, if you bought a ticket to the Futures

1664
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 2: Game and then you got to stay and watch the

1665
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 2: Legends Derby after the Futures Game. Would that be worth it?

1666
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 2: Everybody said that would be epic, epic, And I know

1667
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 2: they already have this goofy celebrity softball game. I think

1668
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 2: this schedule. I don't know if they did it today,

1669
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 2: but they've done it in the past. But that's where

1670
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 2: I was really starting to believe, and this goes back

1671
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 2: a year ago, that the powers to be would step

1672
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 2: in and find a way to make this happen and

1673
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,839
Speaker 2: figure it out. You'd have legends that want to relive

1674
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 2: their long ball dreams, and I believe they could do it.

1675
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 2: And I gotta believe you there could be a sponsor

1676
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 2: and help with after the Futures Game. Just to haven't

1677
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 2: replaced the current home Run Derby, I don't think the

1678
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 2: current Home Run Derby has anywhere near the luster that

1679
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,479
Speaker 2: it used to have. And they just changed the rules

1680
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: of the Home Run Derby, and I guess I can

1681
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 2: go over that a little bit later, the new rules.

1682
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm a little dubious in the Home

1683
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 2: Run Derby anyway, because the one All Star game that

1684
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,640
Speaker 2: I covered in an official capacity is when I was

1685
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 2: still living in Michigan. The two thousand and five All

1686
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 2: Star Game came to Camerica Park. That was the year

1687
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 2: Bobby Obray. Bobby Obray, who Bobby Upbray? You won? I

1688
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 2: hit forty four home runs and I think he wrecked

1689
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 2: his swing for the rest of the year. All right,

1690
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 2: all right, take you back a year again. So the

1691
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 2: conversation started to advance so far that they started to

1692
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 2: talk about formats, and one of the things they talked

1693
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 2: about was, instead of making an individual contest, make it

1694
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 2: a team contest. Players could alternate half innings at bat,

1695
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 2: and then in between at bats, you'd have them be

1696
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 2: interviewed by a you know, one of the announcers, just

1697
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 2: like Mark Scott used to do back in the day

1698
01:28:58,160 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 2: at the legendom run Derby when they had guys like

1699
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron and Al Calin. He used to film at

1700
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 2: the old Wrigley Field in southern California, and that format

1701
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,680
Speaker 2: work brilliantly. You take a few swingings, the innings over,

1702
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,759
Speaker 2: you go back. There's plenty of time to rest recharge

1703
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 2: your batteries. And they even talked about this. Okay, so

1704
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 2: you take the load off any individual legend, they wouldn't

1705
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 2: be out there on their own. You divide them up

1706
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: into teams. And actually you have to give credit, I

1707
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 2: think to Greg Amsinger and the crew. They envision three

1708
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 2: legends on each team, and you'd hold a nine inning game.

1709
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 2: This would be an example. Let's say you had Jim Tomy,

1710
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Jr. And Albert Pooles all on the same team.

1711
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: Tomy would hit in the first inning, the fourth inning,

1712
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,719
Speaker 2: and the seventh. Griffy would hit the second, the fifth,

1713
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 2: and the eighth. Pool holds the third, the sixth, and

1714
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 2: the ninth. You get it. That would be cool. How

1715
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,799
Speaker 2: about four man teams go over the first eight innings,

1716
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 2: each legend gets to hit twice. They head up and

1717
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 2: decide which legend will represent their team in the all

1718
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 2: important ninth inning. Told me love that idea. So that's

1719
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,639
Speaker 2: the cool part. Who's going to have to be clutched

1720
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 2: in the last round? And he said, if that were

1721
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 2: the case, I'd probably pick Albert Pools because he has

1722
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 2: the most home runs of the group, it's seven hundred

1723
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 2: and three. But the other cool part is someone else

1724
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 2: might be locked in and say, wait a minute, this

1725
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 2: guy's on a roll. Maybe we should let him hit, right,

1726
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 2: And so how many home runs would these guys actually hit.

1727
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 2: If they had a Legends home run derby, they would

1728
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 2: hit home runs. I'm sorry they would. Told me he

1729
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 2: hit six hundred and twelve home runs. Now, probably no

1730
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 2: one in this group is going to hit forty one

1731
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:36,480
Speaker 2: bombs like Julio Rodriguez did last year in the first round.

1732
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: But why would you want to do that anyway? They

1733
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: don't need to get forty one swings, all right, just

1734
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 2: give them. They all set give us four to six

1735
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 2: months to get ready, right, and told me admitted he

1736
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 2: goes a long time ago. I mean I've hit him

1737
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,639
Speaker 2: my son's high school field. I've hit home runs recently actually,

1738
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 2: but it wasn't really a four man of totally locking

1739
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 2: in and being in a derby. I was just having

1740
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 2: fun with it. Some kids wanted to see, can you

1741
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 2: come hit one hole. I was like, okay, I'll do this,

1742
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 2: but it's not something I practice every day. But he

1743
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 2: got in the cage and hit it. I can relate

1744
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 2: to this. Somewhat's coaching a travel baseball team back around

1745
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 2: two thousand, forty three years old. Then the travel kids

1746
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,560
Speaker 2: dared me to do it. I took them on on

1747
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 2: home on derby. I hit two, and I think one

1748
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 2: of the kids only hit one. I was just on

1749
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 2: a high school field. But these kids are all like fourteen, right,

1750
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 2: these guys didn't forget how to play. Here's the thing,

1751
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 2: nostalgia is a trap. You can't tell me, am, I

1752
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 2: all wet. You can't tell me this would not be

1753
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: incredibly fun to watch. It would be incredibly novel. It

1754
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 2: would be nostalgic. And these guys want to do it.

1755
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,759
Speaker 2: Picture them all walking on the field. Pool Holes told

1756
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 2: me Ken Griffy Junior, David Ortiz, Ryan Howard Princefield or

1757
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 2: Jason Jeammy, Mark l Wire. Talk Sammy Sosa into it,

1758
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 2: Talk Barry Bonds into it. Come on, let's do it.

1759
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:56,600
Speaker 2: Coming up. I want to bring in the crew. I

1760
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 2: want to get their thoughts. I think it's a great idea.

1761
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 2: I do. And I think the home run Derby's already

1762
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 2: jumped the shark and the way it is right now?

1763
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 2: So who gives the flying horses? Patwit? You don't remember

1764
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 2: who went to last year, and you can't name some

1765
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 2: of the players in it this year, but you know

1766
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 2: who all these Hall of famers are, and I believe

1767
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 2: you'd watch. I'm Bernie Fradle. We're comedy line from the

01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:21,880
Speaker 2: it locked right here. You're listening to the Bernie Fraddle

Speaker 2: Bernie Fraddle Show, Fox Sports Radio Comedy Live from the

1772
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 2: tier Act dot Com studios. Here in Las Vegas, we

1773
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 2: are thirty eight minutes away from the Dance Sensation sweep

1774
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 2: of the nation. What kind of brand new fooly you

1775
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 2: followed by what by name? By the way, after the

1776
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 2: chef and his performance on the hour as promised, we

1777
01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:48,799
Speaker 2: have to reference. Joe Burrow had some suggestions for boosting

1778
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 2: interest in the Pro Bowl, tied to an eighteen game

1779
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 2: NFL season, which may be inevitable someday, seem to ruffle

1780
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 2: some feathers among the ranks. We'll share with you what

1781
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: that deal was. O Kate the home run derby, I

1782
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 2: truly believe is jumped the shark. It's just not that exciting.

1783
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 2: That's just me. Last year, at this time there was

1784
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 2: real scottle but about a potential Legends home run derby.

1785
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,759
Speaker 2: Big big time names, hall of famers right and left,

1786
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Junior, Albert Poolholes, David Ortiz, Jim Tomy, Ryan

1787
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 2: Howard Prince Fielder, Jason Giombi, Mark McGuire. Throw Barry Bonds

1788
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:30,560
Speaker 2: in there. Why not? How about Sammy Soils And you

1789
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,240
Speaker 2: could even take it a step further. The game is

1790
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 2: in Texas this year, so maybe you honor some of

1791
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 2: the former great Texas Rangers like Juan Gonzales, Pub Rodriguez,

1792
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 2: maybe even a Rod. I love this idea. I honestly

1793
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 2: thought it would gain traction. It hasn't. It hasn't. We

1794
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 2: got the same old goofy home run Derby. And by

1795
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 2: the way, it doesn't mean you have to cancel the

1796
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 2: current home run Derby and replace it. They were talking

1797
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 2: about doing this after the Futures All Star Game, which

1798
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 2: was actually Saturday. If I around the world, I would

1799
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 2: just cancel the current home run Derby. I mean really,

1800
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's that popular anymore, and I

1801
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 2: don't think the players are that fired up for it.

1802
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. I don't want to talk about the crew. Okay,

1803
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 2: we talked about this earlier with the jersey. I had

1804
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 2: some pretty strong opinions on the Beer League Softball Bowling

1805
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 2: jerseys you're wearing Tuesday as opposed to the original team jerseys.

1806
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:24,759
Speaker 2: And now my thoughts on the home run derby, Chef,

1807
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 2: do you like the concept, you like the idea of

1808
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 2: this Legends home run derby, and how about you even

1809
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 2: add to it?

1810
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1811
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 7: Actually, I think that's a very interesting idea to really

1812
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 7: maybe spruce things up with it. It has gotten a

1813
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,320
Speaker 7: little stale. The home run Derby. I remember really being

1814
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 7: enthralled by growing up, but I haven't really watched it

1815
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:46,080
Speaker 7: much in recent years. So definitely having Legends might pique

1816
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 7: my interest in watching the home run derby. I'm not sure,

1817
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 7: you know what, did we have it as a separate event?

1818
01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:57,479
Speaker 7: Maybe intermix the Legends with the current players. I think

1819
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 7: that'd be very interesting to watch. I'm just questioning whether

1820
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 7: you would have them in separate brackets and they would.

1821
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 2: Have separate Oh don't know. It was going to be

1822
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 2: the Legends against themselves, okay on a Saturday after the

1823
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:10,479
Speaker 2: Futures game and then I'm not saying they were going

1824
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 2: to cancel the regular home run derby. I'm just saying

1825
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 2: that this Legends home run Derby caught so many people's

1826
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 2: eyes that I'm surprised I didn't catch legs so they

1827
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 2: weren't going to try to mix the two together or

1828
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 2: anything like that.

1829
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 7: That's what I would like to see if I were

1830
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 7: to see a Legends home run derby, is have it

1831
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:29,760
Speaker 7: open to all players, either currently playing or retired. I

1832
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,879
Speaker 7: think that would certainly make things a bit more interesting.

1833
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:35,040
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'd be as quite as interested

1834
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 7: in one involving just the Legends and nothing else, just because.

1835
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 2: Really, you got to remember those guys who are on

1836
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 2: their fifties now. It wouldn't be fair, really totally to

1837
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:45,880
Speaker 2: have them going against young guys in their prime that

1838
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 2: are already top of their game. I mean that that

1839
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,600
Speaker 2: might be I don't know, go ahead, continue on.

1840
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just I get it.

1841
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 7: But I mean, if they say they can hit him

1842
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 7: as well, yeah think you did. Yeah, Griffy, if he

1843
01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 7: said he said thinks he could hit it just as

1844
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:03,600
Speaker 7: well as he did before, I would certainly like to

1845
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 7: see it against current players.

1846
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,200
Speaker 2: Well, Mookie Betts challenged him. He said, you can't do

1847
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:10,599
Speaker 2: this anymore, you could, you know, I give you nine

1848
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 2: innings and Griffy says, give me ten swings and I'll

1849
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 2: do it. And Griffy proved him wrong.

1850
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 7: If he did it, I'd love to see that. That

1851
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:20,280
Speaker 7: would really make the home run Derby a lot more exciting.

1852
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 7: I mean, that's just how I see it. Right there,

1853
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:24,520
Speaker 7: all those guys.

1854
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 2: Walking on the field in the original uniforms. All of

1855
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:30,280
Speaker 2: a sudden you see Barry Bond standing next to Sammy Solci,

1856
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 2: who's standing next to Mark McGuire, who's standing next to

1857
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,920
Speaker 2: Albert Poolhols, who's next to Ken Griffy Junior, and David

1858
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Ortiz and Ryan Howerd and they're all together, and then

1859
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 2: they're getting in the swings taking their hacks, And it

1860
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 2: might not always be pretty, but I think you would

1861
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 2: be really entertaining to watch, better than what we're going

1862
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 2: to see on Monday. They've already changed the rules for

1863
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:52,759
Speaker 2: the home run Derby to you know, spruce things up

1864
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 2: a little bit and not guys get so worn out.

1865
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:00,240
Speaker 2: Shay your thoughts on this home run Derby legend home

1866
01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 2: run Derby concept.

1867
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it would be extremely nostalgic. I would

1868
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:05,720
Speaker 8: want to keep them separated because I don't want to

1869
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 8: fifty I think he's fifty four, Yeah, fifty. I don't

1870
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 8: want a fifty four year old Griffy going against a

1871
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 8: prime trout. I think just it would just be unfair

1872
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 8: and none of those legends would get past the first round.

1873
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 8: But I do definitely think it could be a fun

1874
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,559
Speaker 8: idea if the legends were by themselves going up against

1875
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 8: each other. It would be cool to see the ex

1876
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 8: juicers back not juiced up, like I think it would

1877
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 8: be cool to see all them, as you said, lined

1878
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 8: up together. I think that would be fun. But some

1879
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 8: rules would need to be to get changed, because stamina

1880
01:37:37,040 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 8: is definitely a big thing that plays with the MLB

1881
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 8: home run Derby, as you see, like last year you

1882
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 8: got Julio Ridguez get he got what forty eight in

1883
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 8: the first round, and then he got out in the

1884
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 8: second one. Yeah, yeah, forty one because of stamina. So

1885
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 8: when you're fifty four or fifty nine years old, I

1886
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 8: think Barry Bond's fifty nine, it's you could get off

1887
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:57,160
Speaker 8: to the first round and they're gonna be feeling it

1888
01:37:57,280 --> 01:38:00,799
Speaker 8: big time. So I don't think there could be many rounds.

1889
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 8: I think the time that they have will have to

1890
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 8: be shortened. I think a lot of things then you

1891
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 8: get changed and then like no one's hitting a four

1892
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 8: hundred fifty yard home run. I think that's what you

1893
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 8: need for the bonus or whatever. So that's not going

1894
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 8: to happen, you know what I mean when at that age.

1895
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 8: So I think they're just barely going to get a

1896
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 8: home run, so they might need to tweak some things

1897
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 8: with that. But I think it would be really cool

1898
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 8: to see, especially with them coming out in their old uniforms.

1899
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 8: I think a lot of older fans would really enjoy

1900
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,240
Speaker 8: it that have like kind of fell away from the game,

1901
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 8: and I think it would be cool in terms of

1902
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 8: just teaching the younger players about the older players, and

1903
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 8: it would be a whole respect thing. So I think

1904
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:40,880
Speaker 8: this is a really fun idea, just as long as

1905
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 8: they keep them separated. And also they kind of change

1906
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 8: the rules because I don't think the same home Run

1907
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 8: Derby rules would really apply with these older guys.

1908
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 2: No. I laid it out, there'd be teams and they

1909
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,320
Speaker 2: would you know, have one inning each and then they

1910
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 2: take a couple of innings off and they can keep

1911
01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 2: it to the broadcast team. So all right, Mark Rahams,

1912
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:01,719
Speaker 2: you got the last word.

1913
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 10: This portion of the Home Run Derby is brought to

1914
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 10: you by Saloon Pause, Vix and Thermal Care I.

1915
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 2: Think right right, right, Ben Gay. I thought you were

1916
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:15,879
Speaker 2: gonna say, yeah.

1917
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, that Ben Gay's a really old reference.

1918
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 2: But I couldn't used that that was intentional because he's gay. Yeah,

1919
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna have short muscles, right, so they

1920
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 2: got a rugby go ahead.

1921
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 10: It would be funny just to it would be great

1922
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 10: just to see the old you know, just to see

1923
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 10: them get in their uniforms and take a couple of swings,

1924
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,559
Speaker 10: just to make the crowd happy, because I mean, like

1925
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 10: you said, like she just said, the younger players but

1926
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 10: you know, definitely can hit it. But just to see

1927
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 10: them and that their old swing get out there and

1928
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 10: just hit the ball again, that would just be I

1929
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 10: guess the nostalgic view for everybody to come and watch

1930
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,800
Speaker 10: the game and what's on the event?

1931
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,519
Speaker 2: Would you rather watch that or the current home run derby?

1932
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 10: Well, now if you do, if you if you make

1933
01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 10: it like that, then you're taking the an alternati to

1934
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 10: view that I don't want to see the young guys.

1935
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 10: I want to see the old players, and.

1936
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 2: That kind I kind of I kind of intimated that.

1937
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,760
Speaker 10: I did, Yeah, because then that sets up a whole thing.

1938
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 10: I don't want to see these new guys anymore. I

1939
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 10: just want to just take it back and let's not

1940
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 10: bother with this anymore. I don't want to see the

1941
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 10: younger players try to achieve the greatness that Ken Griffy

1942
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:21,799
Speaker 10: has done.

1943
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 2: Well. I want to see him in the regular season

1944
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 2: and all that stuff I'm talking.

1945
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 10: About, you know, because I mean, if since the Derby

1946
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 10: has turned into something that you don't want to watch

1947
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 10: it's too boring or whatever, and to spice it up,

1948
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 10: we got to bring somebody from the old days to

1949
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 10: make it happy again, to make everybody happy. So it

1950
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 10: just it kind of defeats the purpose of the home

1951
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:47,679
Speaker 10: run Derby is a big thing.

1952
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 8: But take it back.

1953
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with you. So one quick question, mark,

1954
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,519
Speaker 2: will you specifically is it appointment watching? Will you watch

1955
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:56,679
Speaker 2: the home run Derby on Monday?

1956
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:57,720
Speaker 8: Probably not?

1957
01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 2: No, No, there you go, there you go, And you

1958
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,839
Speaker 2: know I I don't think I will either. But anyway,

1959
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 2: all all points duly noted, and I'll tell you where

1960
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 2: we're at it coming up. Let me at least share

1961
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 2: with the folks. The difference is between this year's home

1962
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 2: run Derby and the new rules announced in the new

1963
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 2: Home Run Derby format versus last year, and it kind

1964
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 2: of speaks to what she had to say about guys

1965
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,519
Speaker 2: getting worn out. First, we go to our guy, Kevin

1966
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 2: Ware at the chef with his performance. I'm going to

1967
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:34,600
Speaker 2: make love to you Wan Mo, you down by and

1968
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:53,000
Speaker 2: caress young woman juices. We're making another BAFO performance. Wow.

1969
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 2: You know you got carbon in there to help you out. Yeah.

1970
01:41:56,439 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 3: I got the kids out helping us there.

1971
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 2: I want to be a part of it.

1972
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 3: That's what they're there for.

1973
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 7: They love coming for advice and I just sing the

1974
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 7: song there to tell them everything they need to know.

1975
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 7: So it's one of my favorite things I look forward

1976
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 7: to each week here, as you know, Bernie. So I'm

1977
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 7: happy to do it.

1978
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 2: We all look forward to it. Six hundred affiliates, millions of.

1979

Speaker 7: Listeners, and a lot of people on watching the Diamond

1980

1981
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:27,720
Speaker 7: All Star breaks, so Major League Baseball taking up much

1982
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 7: of the sports calendar. On this Saturday, the Dodgers and Tigers,

1983
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 7: it looked like LA was gonna make it the second

1984
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 7: win in a row against Detroit, but Detroit getting five

1985
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 7: runs in the ninth inning to win it. Or to

1986
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 7: force extra innings, where they eventually win it in the

1987
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 7: tenth eleven to nine. Dustin May, though not coming back

1988
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 7: this season. The Dodgers were hoping to get the young

1989
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 7: pitcher back, but they're saying he's out for the rest

1990
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 7: of the year with a torn esophagus, and looking at

1991
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 7: the report from ESPN, yeah, he felt it during a

1992
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 7: dinner and then the next day went and got checked

1993
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 7: out and that's when he was agnosed with the torn esophagus.

1994
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 7: So the Dodger's not going to get him back for

1995
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 7: the rest of twenty twenty four. Elsewhere in the National

1996
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 7: League West, the Diamondbacks get a big win against the

1997
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 7: Blue Jays, pounding him twelve to one as Corbyn Carroll

1998
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 7: went deep twice for Arizona, the Padre snapping a five

1999
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 7: game losing strict They shout out the Atlanta Braves for nothing.

2000
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 7: Ernie Banks said, let's play two. Well. The Cubs and

2001
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 7: Cardinals had a double header on Saturday, and it's Saint

2002
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 7: Louis winning both of them eleven three and five to four.

2003
01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 7: The AL East now all tied up at the top,

2004
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:40,719
Speaker 7: Yankees and Orioles even in the standings. After the Yankees

2005
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 7: winning against Baltimore six to one. On Saturday, Aaron Judge

2006
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 7: his league leaving thirty fourth home run of the season,

2007
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:48,799
Speaker 7: and that's a Yankee record for most home runs before

2008
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 7: the All Star Break gap that includes Ruth Merris and

2009
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 7: Mickey Mantle. The Mets won their fifth in a row

2010
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 7: seventh three against the Colorado Rockies, Texas a winner and

2011
01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 7: extra innings against the Houston Astros two one, and the

2012
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 7: Reds beat the Marlins ten to six. Miami has now

2013
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 7: lost five straight games US women's soccer. In a pre

2014
01:44:10,520 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 7: Olympic tune up that they winning against Mexico one to

Speaker 7: Lenvig Aberg leads the Scottish Open by two strokes over

2026
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:49,600
Speaker 7: Scotland's Robert McIntire.

2027
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 3: Back to you burning all.

2028
01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 2: Right, chef, good stuff as always. By the way, my

2029
01:44:55,960 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 2: buddy Fish Fame texts, you can have a legends bracket

2030
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 2: and a current player bracket, and whoever wins the Legends

2031
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 2: bracket will face the winning current player bracket, and I

2032
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 2: think it would be better than we have now. And

2033
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 2: by the way, they changed the rules. Last year, the

2034
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:13,880
Speaker 2: entire Derby was an eight person single elimination bracket. There

2035
01:45:13,880 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 2: were three rounds, right, you had the number one seed

2036
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:18,560
Speaker 2: face the number eight seed, the number two seven, and

2037
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. The seeds were determined by

2038
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 2: how many regular season homers each player had hit up

2039
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 2: to that point. As such, well, the entire competition was

2040
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 2: considered knock on style and every player had to win

2041
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 2: three separate one on one matchups to win the overall title.

2042
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 2: Now this year there's still an element of one on

2043
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 2: one showdowns, but that doesn't come into play until the

2044
01:45:40,800 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 2: semi finals. That's the biggest change. This year's first round

2045
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 2: will have no predetermined seeds. You'll just have all eight

2046
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 2: hitters competing going in against each other. You see, so

2047
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:53,360
Speaker 2: if you hit a ton of home runs, but the

2048
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 2: guy beat you by one, hit a ton more, but

2049
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:57,679
Speaker 2: you would have beaten someone else in the other bracket

2050
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 2: by virtue the number of home runs you hit when

2051
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 2: you were penalized. This year that goes away. Also, a

2052
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:08,720
Speaker 2: pitch limit is in place now. Last year there was

2053
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:12,719
Speaker 2: no formal maximum number of pitchers that a hitter could

2054
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 2: see during an individual round. That was the case elite

2055
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 2: official had to notify the pitcher when you could throw

2056
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 2: the next pitch, based on whether it was clear or

2057
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,680
Speaker 2: not that the previous batted ball wouldn't result in the

2058
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 2: home run. This year, that's the longer the case. The

2059
01:46:28,200 --> 01:46:31,759
Speaker 2: first two rounds will still be three minutes, the final

2060
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 2: round will still be two minutes, as was the case

2061
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 2: before twenty twenty four, but now there's a maximum number

2062
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 2: of pitches each hitter can see in each round. The

2063
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:43,719
Speaker 2: first round in the semi finals, that's going to conclude

2064
01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 2: whether it's either three minutes or forty pitches comes first,

2065
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 2: and likewise the finals, well, they'll conclude whenever two minutes

2066
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 2: or twenty seven pitchers come first. I hope guys don't

2067
01:46:55,760 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 2: wear out, all right. I mean, look for one thing,

2068
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:05,679
Speaker 2: you know, you get into the intricacies of these bonus

2069
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 2: rules and these guys start to get tired out and

2070
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,679
Speaker 2: you get a tiebreaker system. It's gonna look a little

2071
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 2: different this year. But I think, to Shay's point, one

2072
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 2: of the things that ruins this is you. You know,

2073
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:19,360
Speaker 2: you can't finesse it. You can't you can't sandbag and

2074
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 2: hope to you know, close the deal later. You got

2075
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,639
Speaker 2: to win. You gotta win each round, and guys get

2076
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 2: tired out. And that's what happened to Bombia Bray you

2077
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 2: in two thousand and six and I'm couldn't hit forty

2078
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:30,759
Speaker 2: four home runs and the rules were a little different

2079
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:32,800
Speaker 2: than I think he wrecked his swing, and I think

2080
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:35,680
Speaker 2: he hurt himself, and it was talked about he did

2081
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:37,719
Speaker 2: not you know, he was never really quite the same.

2082
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 2: So there's an and there's a reason guys like Shohio Tani,

2083
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,880
Speaker 2: you know, they're not going to perform in the start

2084
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 2: thing and Aaron Judge it's a different swing, and you

2085
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 2: it's so intricate to maintain and repeat those mechanics and

2086
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 2: have success over and over. Do you really want to

2087
01:47:54,439 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 2: mess with that? I mean, they're just bigger fish to fry.

2088
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 2: You still got another sixty games left in the season,

2089
01:47:59,120 --> 01:48:01,800
Speaker 2: you got the playoffs, and that's really your objective. So

2090
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 2: this is really kind of a gimmicky exhibition at this point.

2091
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,600
Speaker 2: It was great when it first started, but now it

2092
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:09,439
Speaker 2: goes on and on and on, and it just it

2093
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:11,800
Speaker 2: loses its luster with me. I would really like to

2094
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 2: see this Legends format coming out. Speaking of other changes,

2095
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 2: the NFL may go to an eighteen game schedule, which

2096
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 2: I believe is inevitable someday. But Joe Burrow had a

2097
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 2: suggestion that if the NFL does go to an eighteen

2098
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 2: game schedule, he's got an idea that might make the

2099
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:31,759
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl well like NBAL Star Weekend. I'll share his thoughts.

2100
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,759
Speaker 2: Coming up. I'm Bernie Friday. We're comedy Live from Las Vegas,

01:48:56,800 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 2: up in sixteen minutes top of the hour, the Dance

2108
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:02,720
Speaker 2: Sensation Sweep of the Nation. What kind of brand new

2109
01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 2: fool you? Followed by what my name? Before I talk

2110
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 2: about Joe Burrow's comments real quickly, I want to go

2111
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 2: around the room. The NFL currently plays a seventeen game schedule.

2112
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 2: It's inevitable that at some point they're going to go

2113
01:49:17,320 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 2: to an eighteen game schedule, Shay, are you for the

2114
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 2: eighteen game schedule?

2115
01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:25,640
Speaker 8: I like it? I mean, I just more football or not.

2116
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 2: And I don't like the seventeen because teams go nine

2117
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,559
Speaker 2: to eight, and you know, if you're Jeff Fisher, you

2118
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:33,800
Speaker 2: can't go eight and eight anymore. Are you either going

2119
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 2: to go eight nine or nine and eight? You get well,

2120
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:39,080
Speaker 2: you get the point, Chef, eighteen games? Yes or no?

2121
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say yes.

2122
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,879
Speaker 7: It's because I like having an even number of games,

2123
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 7: and it seems like it's inevitable anyway, so best to

2124
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 7: as well get ready for it. I know the players

2125
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 7: object to having to play an extra game like that,

2126
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 7: but at this point it does seem inevitable that's going

2127
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,680
Speaker 7: to come. And I've learned to embrace it. It's more football,

2128
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:00,719
Speaker 7: and I'm excited for more football.

2129
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 2: So I'm four, yes, that's the key who doesn't want

2130
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 2: more football versus less football? And oh, by the way,

2131
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 2: my belief is that when they do go to that,

2132
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:16,400
Speaker 2: they're already down to three preseason games. There were four,

2133
01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 2: There are many Back in the day, they used to

2134
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 2: play six preseason games. Can you imagine that? Six preseason games?

2135
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 2: And I think they would just take one of the

2136
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 2: preseason games out and go from there. Mark Ramsey, you

2137
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:29,679
Speaker 2: like eighteen games in the NFL.

2138
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:31,920
Speaker 9: More football is always a good thing.

2139
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 2: That's what I think. That's what I think. More TV money,

2140
01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 2: more revenue. They'll increase the salary cap. Players will be

2141
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:40,639
Speaker 2: paid for it. I know there's some concern about player safety,

2142
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 2: but they'll figure it out, all right. So this came

2143
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:52,479
Speaker 2: up recently and Joe Burrow was on this podcast and

2144
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 2: they were talking about the eighteen game schedule, but somehow

2145
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,200
Speaker 2: it got tied into the Pro Bowl. And I think

2146
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 2: we all agree the Pro Bowl is by far the

2147
01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 2: worst of the four exhibition games all star games that

2148
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,599
Speaker 2: were I mean, it's been such a bad game. It's

2149
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 2: not a real game anymore. And its current formats of

2150
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 2: flag football contest, and then they have skilled competitions because

2151
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 2: no one wants to hit anymore. They don't want full

2152
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 2: contact all our contest. It's not going to be like

2153
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 2: a regular season game. Back in the day, they really

2154
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:23,720
Speaker 2: got after it in the Pro Bowl. You know, it

2155
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:25,880
Speaker 2: was a week to Hawaii and a whole deal at

2156
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:29,200
Speaker 2: the end of the year, a week before the Super Bowl.

2157
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 2: But what's interesting is Joe Burrow has an idea that

2158
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 2: if they do have an eighteen game season, he's got

2159
01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:38,640
Speaker 2: an idea that would actually even create more interest in

2160
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:42,040
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl festivities, he said. When he was asked

2161
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:44,560
Speaker 2: how I felt about the NFL expanded to an eighteen

2162
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 2: game season, he said, well, if you do that, you're

2163
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 2: going to have to have two by weeks, And I think,

2164
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:54,599
Speaker 2: you know, he might be right, that might be a thing, right,

2165
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:58,320
Speaker 2: And then he kind of he kind of advanced that thought,

2166
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 2: proposing that the first by week be a regular part

2167
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 2: of the schedule as it is now spread out among

2168
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:07,720
Speaker 2: the thirty two teams, but the second bye week would

2169
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,800
Speaker 2: be for everybody. The whole league would take a week off.

2170
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 2: He said, we could do it randomly. He just suggested

2171
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:18,839
Speaker 2: maybe like week thirteen, you do a Pro Bowl break

2172
01:52:19,479 --> 01:52:21,200
Speaker 2: and you do the seven on seven and all the

2173
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 2: skills challenges like the NBA does. He thinks that would

2174
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,639
Speaker 2: actually get more ratings for the Pro Bowl. It would

2175
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 2: also give everybody that the bye week equal footing going

2176
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 2: into the last six games. He said. Another benefit of

2177
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 2: the expanded schedule with the additional game in bye week

2178
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 2: would be the super Bowl then could be pushed to

2179
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 2: the Sunday before President's Day. And how long has it

2180
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 2: been since people have suggested that the Monday after the

2181
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 2: super Bowl be a national holiday. But if they had

2182
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 2: the if the season was expanded a week longer and

2183
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:56,599
Speaker 2: the second bye week, well, then the super Bowl would

2184
01:52:56,680 --> 01:52:59,960
Speaker 2: be played the third Sunday in February, which would be

2185
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 2: this Sunday before President's Day. They have a holiday and

2186
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 2: that money anyway with President's Day, so they'd get the

2187
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:08,880
Speaker 2: day off after the big game. Two bye weeks. And

2188
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 2: I think this is something that I don't know if

2189
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 2: it ever goes anywhere, But Joe Burrow was speaking his mind. Now,

2190
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:20,639
Speaker 2: fair enough, players might not really be that enthusiastic about

2191
01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 2: trying to or about having to take a week off

2192
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 2: with Pro Bowl festivities and much like they do for

2193
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 2: the Major League Baseball All Star Game. Now you might say,

2194
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:34,439
Speaker 2: hello that I don't need to go to that event.

2195
01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 2: I'd rather just take a vaccasion or get a week

2196
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:39,200
Speaker 2: off from football and get a break from the game

2197
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 2: and get a chance to do something with my family. Right,

2198
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:47,040
Speaker 2: They're never going to restore the Pro Bowl, all right,

2199
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 2: it just is never gonna happen. I don't know, Maybe

2200
01:53:50,520 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 2: they come up with some kind of college all star game.

2201
01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 2: There's got to be something they should do to replace it,

2202
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 2: because this flag football thing is let's go back around

2203
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 2: the room. They did this last You're in Vegas with

2204
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 2: the skills in the flag football game? Shape? Does that host?

2205
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 2: Does that hold any interest to you at all? This

2206
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl flag football game? No?

2207
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 8: I I honestly didn't even watch the last year's that

2208
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 8: that what's the name for it? Again? I completely forgot

2209
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:21,240
Speaker 8: the NFL. Yeah, the Pro Bowl? Yeah, yeah, I didn't

2210
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:23,080
Speaker 8: watch anything about the Pro Bowl. I didn't watch like

2211
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 8: the comp like they had like a throwing combine and

2212
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 8: all that. Like, I didn't watch any of that stuff

2213
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 8: and I never probably will, just because the players don't

2214
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 8: take it seriously at all and it's kind of like

2215
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:35,600
Speaker 8: a vacation for them. They're in Hawaii. Are they in

2216
01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 8: Hawaii again? This it's always in Hawaii.

2217
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 2: No, Well it used to be that stadium got condemned

2218
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 2: and they haven't played there in three or four years. Okay, ah,

2219
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 2: and now they don't even have a game anymore.

2220
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 8: So it's like not even a place they want to

2221
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:50,920
Speaker 8: go to anymore. So it's like the players are kind

2222
01:54:50,920 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 8: of just like they don't want to be there. They're

2223
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 8: just kind of having fun. It's there's no real I mean,

2224
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 8: there's entertainment value, I guess, but there's just no competition

2225
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:00,800
Speaker 8: to it. And that's where I get my entertainment value from.

2226
01:55:01,240 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 8: So I don't I don't find it amusing at all.

2227
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 8: I don't really care for it. I mean, I played

2228
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 8: flag football when I was what thirteen years old, I

2229
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 8: in the league, and that's probably the last time I've

2230
01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 8: watched flag football, and I think anyone cares for flag football.

2231
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 8: So now I don't think it's it's it's intriguing at all.

2232
01:55:18,280 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 2: Just just to reset this up, what happened was, I mean,

2233
01:55:20,480 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 2: the league expanded to seventeen games back in the twenty

2234
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 2: twenty one season, and when they did so, they eliminated

2235
01:55:26,040 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 2: one preseason game. Now we assume that when the league,

2236
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 2: eventually the NFL eventually goes to eighteen games, they'll they'll

2237
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 2: shorten the preseason to two games because the real money

2238
01:55:37,960 --> 01:55:41,520
Speaker 2: is in the regular season. But when Joe Burrow heard that,

2239
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 2: he says, wait a minute, I have an idea here.

2240
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,880
Speaker 2: If you do that, let's have two bye weeks. The

2241
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 2: first bye week would be staggered like it is now,

2242
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:53,320
Speaker 2: and teams, you know, three or four teams a week,

2243
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:55,880
Speaker 2: and then over an eight week period, every team would

2244
01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 2: have taken at least one bye week. But then Burrow

2245
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 2: suggested that a second and bye week be across the board,

2246
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 2: say like in week thirteen randomly, and that's when you

2247
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,280
Speaker 2: could hold the Pro Bowl in the middle of the season.

2248
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:09,200
Speaker 2: Like if you noticed all the other you know, the NHL,

2249
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:14,320
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, and of course in the NFL, they

2250
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:17,600
Speaker 2: all don't check that. Major League Baseball, the NHL and

2251
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 2: the NBA they hold their you know, midseason all star

2252
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:23,480
Speaker 2: games as it were, in the mid season, but the

2253
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 2: NFL they always do the Pro Bowl at the end.

2254
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 2: He's suggesting to hold the Pro Bowl around Week thirteen

2255
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 2: and the whole league could take a week off as

2256
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:34,680
Speaker 2: part of as part of the second bye week. So

2257
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 2: does that make any sense to you, chef.

2258
01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 3: Say that question again?

2259
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:41,640
Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl in the mid season.

2260
01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:45,480
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I agree with what Shay was

2261
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:49,000
Speaker 7: saying in just that players probably don't want to go

2262
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:50,880
Speaker 7: to that in the middle of the season. It's not

2263
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 7: a place they really want to be as much as

2264
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 7: they did in Hawaiian with the fact that they have

2265
01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 7: the opportunity to, you know, take a break for a

2266
01:56:57,480 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 7: week instead of having to be at the probo festivities.

2267
01:57:00,760 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 7: I don't see it as enhancing the interest or the

2268
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 7: quality of play, just because the best players I think

2269
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:11,360
Speaker 7: will still opt out just as they are.

2270
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:11,600
Speaker 2: Now.

2271
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 7: That's a stupid flag football game anyway. Flag football is

2272
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 7: why I play on the beach each week. I mean,

2273
01:57:16,240 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 7: it's not top the.

2274
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:22,560
Speaker 2: NFL, it's not real quickly and let's get Mark involved

2275
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:25,080
Speaker 2: the Mark you know, eighteen game season, two bye weeks,

2276
01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 2: but the Pro Bowl in the middle. Is that going

2277
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:27,000
Speaker 2: to work or not?

2278
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 10: The players that interested, they don't want to get hurt,

2279
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:31,840
Speaker 10: So no, let's leave it alone.

2280
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what they do with the Pro Bowl.

2281
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:39,839
Speaker 2: I think they're stuck. I maybe I understand the skills

2282
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:44,280
Speaker 2: competition in the flag football was reasonably well received last year.

2283
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent year. I don't really know

2284
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:50,160
Speaker 2: how they quantified it, or I don't know exactly you know,

2285
01:57:50,160 --> 01:57:54,320
Speaker 2: what the statistics were. But I think they're in a

2286
01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 2: quandary because you have to do something. The fans expect

2287
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:03,760
Speaker 2: some thing. But what's happening, you know, what they have

2288
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 2: decided to do with this little Pro Bowl phenomenon is

2289
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:10,760
Speaker 2: just it's an absolute insult to the senses when it

2290
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 2: comes to the National Football League coming up? What kind

2291
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:16,640

2300
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 2: we've come to that time of the week and the show.

2301
01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 2: You know you love it, you can't live without it. Yeah,

2302
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,680
Speaker 2: you see on the Bernie Frae a show. You know,

2303
01:59:00,760 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 2: Yogi Berra once said you can observe a lot by watching,

2304
01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we do. You see, because around

2305
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 2: this great country of ours, and even around the globe, well,

2306
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 2: people engage in activities. Human beings do funny things. Sometimes

2307
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:19,360
Speaker 2: these activities are well, they're harmless, they're innocuous, they're just

2308
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 2: kind of silly. Other times they're far more serious, and

2309
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 2: many times they are very serious, and they can become

2310
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 2: criminal acts and even land you in jail. But anyway

2311
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:36,360
Speaker 2: you slice it, anyway, you characterize it, any way, describe it. Well,

2312
01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 2: you see these behaviors. They always leave you scratching your

2313
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:50,120
Speaker 2: head and asking yourself, what kind of brand new fool you?

2314
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:55,280
Speaker 1: So, what kind of brand new fool are you?

2315
01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:57,480
Speaker 2: You know, I know I've said this before, but this one,

2316
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:00,920
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, this may be the weirdest one

2317
02:00:00,960 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 2: I've ever done. And also I believe this is the

2318
02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:09,160
Speaker 2: first time we've had a brand new fool segment Take

2319
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 2: us to Taiwan. Now, insurance scams are as old as

2320
02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:20,080
Speaker 2: time and they're not very intelligent, but people still engage

2321
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 2: in them. So recently in Taiwan, an alleged plot between

2322
02:00:24,120 --> 02:00:26,080
Speaker 2: a couple of buddies to collect more than a million

2323
02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 2: dollars insurance failed. Here's the problem. These guys really screwed

2324
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:38,760
Speaker 2: themselves up. What they decided they would do is show

2325
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 2: up at a hospital and say they needed to have

2326
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:47,600
Speaker 2: their leg amputated because they were subject to frostbite. On

2327
02:00:47,680 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 2: January twenty sixth, they showed up at the hospital in Taiwan,

2328
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 2: and immediately the hospital didn't buy it. You know, they

2329
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:02,000
Speaker 2: did have frostbite on their legs and they had to

2330
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:06,360
Speaker 2: be amputated below the calf, as required by medical procedure,

2331
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:12,760
Speaker 2: but something wasn't adding up. You don't have frostbite in

2332
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Taiwan doesn't make any sense. Apparently, the climate there is

2333
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 2: subtropical and severe frostbite that would require amputation due to

2334
02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 2: a national a natural climate factor is unheard of in Taiwan. Well,

2335
02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:32,880
Speaker 2: the hospital, they contacted the authorities and the Taiwanese Criminal

2336
02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:38,680
Speaker 2: Investigation Bureau took over and they started to well investigate.

2337
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Turns out that these two knuckleheads, Zang and Lao. They

2338
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 2: then became arrested. Oh, they had frostbite al right, because

2339
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:49,760
Speaker 2: they had stuck their legs in dry ice in a

2340
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:54,840
Speaker 2: plastic bucket in the hopes of collecting a million dollar

2341
02:01:55,000 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 2: insurance policy. You can somehow the insurance policy paid, but

2342
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:05,080
Speaker 2: they only paid seven grand. They insurance providers denied the

2343
02:02:05,120 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 2: additional claims because after these investigations went into effect, their

2344
02:02:11,000 --> 02:02:15,000
Speaker 2: suspicions were raised, and these two knuckleheads ended up getting arrested.

2345
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:18,280
Speaker 2: They're charged with fraud aiding in a betting serious injury.

2346
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:22,440
Speaker 2: And why did they want this money. They've lost a

2347
02:02:22,440 --> 02:02:27,120
Speaker 2: bunch of money trading cryptocurrency, so they convinced each other, well,

2348
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:30,400
Speaker 2: we can maybe get our money back by engaging in

2349
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 2: this insurance fraud. Now they not only collect the money,

2350
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:41,200
Speaker 2: they have half their legs amputated, and they're probably going

2351
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:45,080
Speaker 2: to jail. And I'm sure here it comes. I'm sure

2352
02:02:45,080 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 2: when they go to court, the judge is gonna tell

2353
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:54,600
Speaker 2: them you don't have a leg to stand on. Nice job, Mark.

2354
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,120
Speaker 2: All I got to say is zeg and Lyle from

2355
02:02:58,120 --> 02:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Taiwan getting their legs amputated an insurance gam when they

2356
02:03:01,680 --> 02:03:05,080
Speaker 2: claim there's frostbite in Taiwan, on the subtropical climate. What

2357
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:09,280
Speaker 2: kind of brand new damn fools are you? Uh Shae,

2358
02:03:09,880 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 2: you might be able to I don't know if you're

2359
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:13,600
Speaker 2: being able to top that one, buddy.

2360
02:03:14,440 --> 02:03:17,360
Speaker 8: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try, so I'm saying you can't.

2361
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:18,720
Speaker 2: You go ahead, man, this.

2362
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:20,240
Speaker 8: Is probably something you've never heard of. We're going to

2363
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:22,320
Speaker 8: go to Long Beach, which isn't too far from here,

2364
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 8: so in what is being called by prosecutor is the

2365
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 8: largest single case of shoplifting in the history of Long Beach.

2366
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 8: A woman was arrested Thursday under suspicion of shoplifting thirty

2367
02:03:33,320 --> 02:03:38,040
Speaker 8: times from the same store. The Long Beach City's prosecutors

2368
02:03:38,040 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 8: offer said in a criminal complaint that the crimes occurred

2369
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:43,120
Speaker 8: between the September ninth, twenty twenty three and June thirteenth,

2370
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four, so basically a one year span, and

2371
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:49,160
Speaker 8: that they involved the thefto's handbags, jeans, and other items

2372
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:52,560
Speaker 8: from TJ Max. So she is sailing from TJ Max.

2373
02:03:54,520 --> 02:03:57,000
Speaker 8: The estimated value of the allegistol and merchandise was about

2374
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 8: six thousand dollars of value, and each time she did

2375
02:04:00,480 --> 02:04:03,040
Speaker 8: basically go in there, it was basically under nine hundred

2376
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 8: and fifty dollars worth of stuff being stolen, which at

2377
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 8: TJ Max goes a very very long way. So Florence

2378
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:11,640
Speaker 8: Leslie Miller, who was twenty seven years old, is set

2379
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 8: to be reigning Friday in a Long Beach courtroom on

2380
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:19,280
Speaker 8: thirty misdemeanor theft charges, according to the city Prosecutor's office.

2381
02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:23,200
Speaker 8: So the city prosecutor noted that the persistence from the

2382
02:04:23,200 --> 02:04:26,040
Speaker 8: TJ Max employees who filed theft reports and kept photos

2383
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 8: and videos of the incidents ultimately made the filing of

2384
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 8: the case possible. So TJ Max employees did try to

2385
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:35,360
Speaker 8: stop this, but it took it basically thirty times to

2386
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 8: finally do something about it. So I don't know who's

2387
02:04:38,320 --> 02:04:40,560
Speaker 8: the fool here, whether it's the TJ Max employees, the

2388
02:04:40,560 --> 02:04:43,840
Speaker 8: prosecutor's office, or the person that decided to steal from

2389
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:46,320
Speaker 8: the TJ Max thirty times. But I guess all three

2390
02:04:46,360 --> 02:04:48,360
Speaker 8: could be fools here, because come on, how do you

2391
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,680
Speaker 8: steal from a place thirty times? Like, how does that

2392
02:04:51,720 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 8: even happen?

2393
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,680
Speaker 2: I think you beat bhay and it happens because they

2394
02:04:55,720 --> 02:04:56,920
Speaker 2: don't have to force the damn law.

2395
02:04:57,280 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 8: You can say that again.

2396
02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's foolishness all the way around. Wow, it's

2397
02:05:05,280 --> 02:05:07,600
Speaker 2: a sign of the times. I love a Long Beach too.

2398
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:08,560
Speaker 2: It spent a lot of time there.

2399
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 8: It's beautiful the weather there right now.

2400
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:12,560
Speaker 2: Remember Hamburger Henry's, I know it closed down. It was

2401
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:15,880
Speaker 2: a legendary place. It wasn't not I can't think of

2402
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,360
Speaker 2: the name of the street he was on, not seventh Street.

2403
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, Long Beach is a very cool place, all right, Shay,

2404
02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:24,920
Speaker 2: I guess you could leave you asking you scratching your

2405
02:05:24,920 --> 02:05:25,800
Speaker 2: head and asking.

2406
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:29,000
Speaker 8: Yourself, what kind of fool are you?

2407
02:05:29,200 --> 02:05:29,440
Speaker 6: There?

2408
02:05:29,480 --> 02:05:34,320
Speaker 2: You go? What kind of brand new damn fool of you? Okay, chef,

2409
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:36,720
Speaker 2: this might be the second week in a row. We

2410
02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:38,480
Speaker 2: don't go back to Florida. What do you got for us?

2411
02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2412
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 7: This oneing goes back to the topic of insurance fraud,

2413
02:05:43,320 --> 02:05:45,960
Speaker 7: and we go to the state I used to live

2414
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:50,680
Speaker 7: in North Carolina, where a Kinston man is facing charges

2415
02:05:50,800 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 7: after state investigators say he was hurt over the phone,

2416
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:58,000
Speaker 7: breaking headlights as part of his car insurance fraud scheme.

2417
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:02,640
Speaker 7: So the Insurance Commissioners said that David Heath was arrested

2418
02:06:02,640 --> 02:06:06,440
Speaker 7: Wednesday for insurance fraud and attempting to attain property by

2419
02:06:06,480 --> 02:06:09,680
Speaker 7: false pretenses. The agents say that the seventy six year

2420
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 7: old Heath tried to file a claim with Nationwide Insurance

2421
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:16,680
Speaker 7: Company of America for fourteen hundred dollars for damages to

2422
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:19,760
Speaker 7: his car, but while he was filing the claim, they

2423
02:06:19,800 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 7: can hear him actually smashing the headlights over the phones.

2424
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 2: I think I sat go ahead.

2425
02:06:26,280 --> 02:06:30,440
Speaker 7: So he was arrested and eventually released on ten thousand

2426
02:06:30,480 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 7: dollars bond. But he is doing court to answer to

2427
02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:36,120
Speaker 7: those chargers. So man, I mean, it's one thing to

2428
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:38,680
Speaker 7: try insurance fraud, it's another thing to do it while

2429
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:41,480
Speaker 7: you're on the phone with the agent trying to claim

2430
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:46,680
Speaker 7: the money. So, David Heath of Kingston, North Carolina, which

2431
02:06:46,680 --> 02:06:48,360
Speaker 7: is near Raleigh, what kind of brand.

2432
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 3: New fool are you?

2433
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:49,480

2588
02:14:58,400 --> 02:15:00,040
Speaker 2: he watched out. I used to like him, but he

2589
02:15:00,040 --> 02:15:02,720
Speaker 2: he kind of went the way of Letts. Yeah, it's

2590
02:15:02,760 --> 02:15:04,680
Speaker 2: actually cal Raley of the Mariner.

2591

Speaker 8: Oh, good for him.

2592
02:15:06,640 --> 02:15:10,040
Speaker 2: The other day. All right, we've talked about Paul Sken's

2593
02:15:10,080 --> 02:15:13,280
Speaker 2: starting Tuesday as a rookie pitcher in the Major League

2594
02:15:13,280 --> 02:15:15,960
Speaker 2: Baseball All Star Game. It's only happened five times in history.

2595
02:15:17,240 --> 02:15:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm the last rookie pitcher to start the Major League

2596
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:21,960
Speaker 2: Baseball All Star Game. Mark Ramsey, what my name?

2597
02:15:23,200 --> 02:15:25,440
Speaker 3: Vital Blue Ooh, that's a good one.

2598
02:15:25,480 --> 02:15:27,440
Speaker 2: He started in seventy one. Technically he was not a

2599
02:15:27,560 --> 02:15:30,240
Speaker 2: rookie though, but that's a good name. Seventeen and one,

2600
02:15:30,680 --> 02:15:32,640
Speaker 2: at the All Star Break, the game was played in

2601
02:15:33,280 --> 02:15:35,760
Speaker 2: Tiger Stadium. There were twelve Hall of Famers that played

2602
02:15:35,800 --> 02:15:37,520
Speaker 2: in that game. That night of course, Reggie hit the

2603
02:15:37,520 --> 02:15:41,680
Speaker 2: famous home run off the tower and right field. They

2604
02:15:41,680 --> 02:15:43,640
Speaker 2: think the thing would have traveled six hundred feet. But

2605
02:15:43,720 --> 02:15:49,920
Speaker 2: I digress. So Paul Skens starts Tuesday in the Major

2606

02:18:51,879 --> 02:18:52,520
Speaker 8: head for some reason.

2665
02:18:52,600 --> 02:18:55,720
Speaker 2: Alan Trammel the Tiger is a great player. Yeah. He

2666
02:18:55,760 --> 02:18:57,480
Speaker 2: never stole thirty bases. I don't even know if he

2667
02:18:57,480 --> 02:18:59,640
Speaker 2: had thirty home but he was he was all around

Speaker 8: was born that year too, but I remember looking at

2688
02:20:03,840 --> 02:20:04,440
Speaker 8: highlight any.

2689
02:20:04,360 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 2: Good stuff, man, I mean, that's pretty heavy stuff to be.

2690
02:20:07,200 --> 02:20:09,000
Speaker 2: Of course, you gotta get you know, your team has

2691
02:20:09,040 --> 02:20:11,120
Speaker 2: to make it to the World Series. But that's not

2692
02:20:11,200 --> 02:20:12,720
Speaker 2: easy to do. And that's when the Yankees were in

2693
02:20:12,760 --> 02:20:21,920
Speaker 2: that real tremendous heyday. Coming up. A former major league

2694
02:20:22,040 --> 02:20:26,000
Speaker 2: Well check that it's not the correct terminology. A former

2695
02:20:26,200 --> 02:20:28,560
Speaker 2: NFL quarterback with a big name is dealing with some

2696
02:20:28,760 --> 02:20:33,800
Speaker 2: very very serious health issues. I'll share this with you.

2697
02:20:34,120 --> 02:20:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. We're coming to line from the Las

2698
02:20:36,520 --> 02:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tarack dot com studios. Keep it

2699
02:20:38,840 --> 02:20:41,160
Speaker 2: locked right here. It's the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox

2700
02:20:41,200 --> 02:20:53,720
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. All right back on the Bernie Frattle Show,

2701
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:59,720
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. As I mentioned, a former quarterback. Cleveland

2702
02:20:59,760 --> 02:21:02,680
Speaker 2: Brown quarterback is gently with some very serious health issues.

2703
02:21:03,280 --> 02:21:07,800
Speaker 2: Bernie Krosar, who's now sixty years old, he's really dealing

2704
02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:11,640
Speaker 2: with some stuff. He was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease,

2705
02:21:12,160 --> 02:21:15,119
Speaker 2: and he's also awaiting a liver transplant due to cirrhosis.

2706
02:21:15,879 --> 02:21:19,480
Speaker 2: And look, one of his own doctors told him there's

2707
02:21:19,520 --> 02:21:21,879
Speaker 2: a ninety percent chance he's going to need a new liver,

2708
02:21:22,040 --> 02:21:25,640
Speaker 2: and they put him on the transparent list. Co Star

2709
02:21:25,760 --> 02:21:27,879
Speaker 2: was a great quarterback in the Ladies, came so close

2710
02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:30,320
Speaker 2: to getting the Browns with the Super Bowl. Who can

2711
02:21:30,360 --> 02:21:32,680
Speaker 2: forget the fumble at the goal line, Just one of

2712
02:21:32,680 --> 02:21:35,880
Speaker 2: those things. If the sports gods are fair. You know,

2713
02:21:36,200 --> 02:21:38,320
Speaker 2: the Browns got to get to a Super Bowl. I'm

2714
02:21:38,320 --> 02:21:41,200
Speaker 2: still going to predict they're gonna be Dallas Week one.

2715
02:21:41,360 --> 02:21:43,840
Speaker 2: What other kind of thing. That's kind of sad for Costar.

2716
02:21:43,920 --> 02:21:48,360
Speaker 2: He lost his broadcasting job because the NFL said he

2717
02:21:48,680 --> 02:21:51,040
Speaker 2: bet on a game, and he's The NFL's gambling policy

2718
02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:54,600
Speaker 2: is incredibly strict. But you have to sympathize with Costar

2719
02:21:54,640 --> 02:21:58,720
Speaker 2: hair because he placed the first legal bet in the

2720
02:21:58,720 --> 02:22:04,480
Speaker 2: state of Ohio as part of a promotion when when

2721
02:22:05,360 --> 02:22:08,959
Speaker 2: legalized betting went legal in Ohio. So, anyway, hope for

2722
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:11,680
Speaker 2: the best for Roney, Cosar, for Cleveland Brown fans and

2723
02:22:11,800 --> 02:22:15,400
Speaker 2: NFL fans. You certainly remember the impact he had out

2724
02:22:15,400 --> 02:22:17,480
Speaker 2: of the game, and actually the impact he had while

2725
02:22:17,480 --> 02:22:20,000
Speaker 2: he was the he was the quarterback at the University

2726
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:23,200
Speaker 2: of Miami. Coming up, Chris Purfet's World of Soccer. You

2727
02:22:23,200 --> 02:22:24,600
Speaker 2: don't have a thing or two to say about the

02:22:24,600 --> 02:22:28,320
Speaker 2: coaching change. First we go back to our guy, the chef,

Speaker 7: Yes, Sunday is a big day for soccer internationally, at

2731
02:22:32,400 --> 02:22:35,160
Speaker 7: least that's because we have both the European and Copa

2732

Speaker 7: America Championships, and uh, we'll both be on Fox TV

Speaker 7: Eastern time. It'll be a matchup of England against Spain.

2735
02:22:51,879 --> 02:22:55,840
Speaker 7: Major League Baseball Dodgers blowy five run lead to the

2736
02:22:55,840 --> 02:22:59,240
Speaker 7: Detroit Tigers and they eventually lose it in extra innings

2737
02:22:59,240 --> 02:23:03,080
Speaker 7: eleven to nine. And more bad news for Los Angeles,

2738
02:23:03,200 --> 02:23:06,400
Speaker 7: Dustin May out for the rest of the season with

2739
02:23:06,560 --> 02:23:12,240
Speaker 7: a torn esophagus. Elsewhere in Major League Baseball, Diamondbacks pound

2740
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:14,680
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays twelve to one behind two home runs

2741
02:23:15,080 --> 02:23:18,520
Speaker 7: from Corby and Carroll. Elsewhere in the National League West,

2742
02:23:18,560 --> 02:23:25,640
Speaker 7: the Padre snapping a five game losing streak as they

2743
02:23:25,720 --> 02:23:28,240
Speaker 7: end up shutting out the Braves fod to nothing, twins

2744
02:23:28,240 --> 02:23:30,960
Speaker 7: over the Giants four to two, the Cardinals sweeping a

2745
02:23:31,040 --> 02:23:35,160
Speaker 7: doubleheader against the Cubs, the Brewers and Nationals, Washington edges

2746
02:23:35,520 --> 02:23:38,400
Speaker 7: six to five, Rangers and Astros go to extra inning

2747
02:23:38,400 --> 02:23:40,960
Speaker 7: where Texas wins it two to one. Right shout out

2748
02:23:41,000 --> 02:23:43,240
Speaker 7: the Marlins tent or excuse me to beat the Marlins

2749
02:23:43,280 --> 02:23:45,879
Speaker 7: ten to six, Red Sox over the Royals five to nothing,

2750
02:23:46,400 --> 02:23:51,279
Speaker 7: and the Mets top the Rockies seven to three.

2751
02:23:51,680 --> 02:23:52,360
Speaker 3: Back to you, Berney.

2752
02:23:53,280 --> 02:23:57,959
Speaker 2: All right, Jeff, so you've made a coaching change the

2753
02:23:58,080 --> 02:24:01,920
Speaker 2: US men's national team, and you know that Chris Purfett

2754
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:05,080
Speaker 2: is gonna have some strong feelings about it. So we

2755
02:24:05,120 --> 02:24:07,760
Speaker 2: take you without further ado, Chris Ppfett's The World of Soccer.

2756
02:24:09,120 --> 02:24:25,160
Speaker 1: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum. It's

2757
02:24:25,200 --> 02:24:29,240
Speaker 1: all here in this report from the World of Soccer, Bernie.

2758
02:24:29,280 --> 02:24:32,000
Speaker 11: We are in for one hell of a Sunday here

2759
02:24:32,160 --> 02:24:34,520
Speaker 11: in the world of soccer, as we get the finals

2760
02:24:34,760 --> 02:24:39,480
Speaker 11: for the European Championship and Copa America, and two amazing

2761
02:24:39,720 --> 02:24:44,240
Speaker 11: heavyweight battles between England and Spain and Colombia and their

2762
02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:49,880
Speaker 11: historic unbeaten streak, and of course Argentina and Lionel Messi.

2763
02:24:50,200 --> 02:24:52,200
Speaker 11: But that all coming up in a second, because we

2764
02:24:52,280 --> 02:24:55,640
Speaker 11: have to start here local. And you know what, Bernie,

2765
02:24:55,840 --> 02:24:58,520
Speaker 11: I love to be wrong.

2766
02:24:59,600 --> 02:25:02,560
Speaker 3: Some people thing that's crazy. I love to be wrong.

2767
02:25:02,840 --> 02:25:06,080
Speaker 11: I love to be wrong because I tend to expect

2768
02:25:06,200 --> 02:25:10,320
Speaker 11: bad things out of life and sports and teams. I

2769
02:25:10,400 --> 02:25:14,000
Speaker 11: end up hedging my hopes against the future, believing in

2770
02:25:14,200 --> 02:25:17,080
Speaker 11: jinxes and all these kind of things I do not

2771
02:25:17,240 --> 02:25:22,039
Speaker 11: believe the universe bends towards justice, but rather failure. Failure

2772
02:25:22,200 --> 02:25:24,440
Speaker 11: is human. You have to come to expect it at

2773
02:25:24,440 --> 02:25:27,920
Speaker 11: some point. It is the old saying vanitas vanitatam at

2774
02:25:27,920 --> 02:25:31,280
Speaker 11: omnia vanitas. I'm sorry for breaking out the Latin. Here

2775
02:25:31,720 --> 02:25:34,880
Speaker 11: all things fall. And so I sat here and I

2776
02:25:34,959 --> 02:25:38,600
Speaker 11: said here on the on World of Soccer that I

2777
02:25:38,680 --> 02:25:41,560
Speaker 11: did not think the US will move on from Greg

2778
02:25:41,600 --> 02:25:43,720
Speaker 11: beer Halter before the World Cup.

2779
02:25:44,120 --> 02:25:47,000
Speaker 9: Let me say again, I love to be wrong.

2780
02:25:47,640 --> 02:25:49,480
Speaker 11: I love to be wrong because then I get to

2781
02:25:49,520 --> 02:25:53,920
Speaker 11: celebrate little moments like these and discuss the very interesting

2782
02:25:53,959 --> 02:25:57,320
Speaker 11: moment that is now in front of the United States team.

2783
02:25:57,600 --> 02:26:01,119
Speaker 11: But let me first start by talking of about why

2784
02:26:01,240 --> 02:26:03,720
Speaker 11: Greg Burhalter had to go, because I'm seeing some revision

2785
02:26:03,959 --> 02:26:07,039
Speaker 11: this past revisionisms this past week. I'm hearing people talking

2786
02:26:07,080 --> 02:26:11,440
Speaker 11: about other sports analysts talking about, oh, you know, this

2787
02:26:11,600 --> 02:26:13,680
Speaker 11: wasn't all on Greg bur Halter, a lot of this.

2788
02:26:14,040 --> 02:26:17,560
Speaker 11: You know you have fired Greg Borhlter because you can't

2789
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:21,040
Speaker 11: fire the team. Let me make that one thing abundantly clear.

2790
02:26:21,440 --> 02:26:26,840
Speaker 11: Greg Burhlter chooses the roster for Team USA. International coaches

2791
02:26:27,040 --> 02:26:31,760
Speaker 11: have complete control over their rosters. So yes, by firing

2792
02:26:31,800 --> 02:26:35,440
Speaker 11: the coach. You are making an indictment upon the roster

2793
02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:38,160
Speaker 11: that that coach selected, and some of those guys that

2794
02:26:38,200 --> 02:26:41,039
Speaker 11: were Greg Borhalter's favorites will not be on the team

2795
02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:44,320
Speaker 11: going forward into the future. And let's also clear up

2796
02:26:44,320 --> 02:26:46,920
Speaker 11: one other thing too, about that this seems like an

2797
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:51,480
Speaker 11: overreaction to a poor tournament performances. Number one, we had

2798
02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:55,480
Speaker 11: already had a very languid summer from Team USA, where

2799
02:26:55,480 --> 02:26:59,000
Speaker 11: they drew even against Jamaica, had a terrible loss to Columbia,

2800
02:26:59,400 --> 02:27:03,280
Speaker 11: and even before that, you could probably pin the failures

2801
02:27:03,320 --> 02:27:06,879
Speaker 11: from the last World Cup upon Greg Burholter, his style,

2802
02:27:07,160 --> 02:27:11,320
Speaker 11: his tactics, his substitutions. And yet because of what happened

2803
02:27:11,360 --> 02:27:13,560
Speaker 11: with the rain of family and him where he was,

2804
02:27:13,959 --> 02:27:17,000
Speaker 11: you know, they attempted to oust him over trumped up

2805
02:27:17,240 --> 02:27:22,400
Speaker 11: weird accusations and everything else that quite honestly like there

2806
02:27:22,440 --> 02:27:24,840
Speaker 11: was no other option but to bring him back and

2807
02:27:24,920 --> 02:27:26,800
Speaker 11: see what was going to happen down the line. But

2808
02:27:26,840 --> 02:27:29,440
Speaker 11: these that didn't make the problems go away. Team USA

2809
02:27:29,600 --> 02:27:32,240
Speaker 11: now finds itself on the precipice of needing a new coach.

2810
02:27:32,480 --> 02:27:35,560
Speaker 11: They've already been spurned by a couple of options. First off,

2811
02:27:35,560 --> 02:27:38,960
Speaker 11: the big one, the home run ball, which was Jurgen Klopp,

2812
02:27:39,040 --> 02:27:43,199
Speaker 11: the former manager of Liverpool, who swiftly turned the any

2813
02:27:43,280 --> 02:27:46,680
Speaker 11: kind of interest in Team USA down. That's not surprising,

2814
02:27:46,959 --> 02:27:49,680
Speaker 11: Jurgen Klop would have been an absolute home run higher.

2815
02:27:49,760 --> 02:27:51,800
Speaker 11: I have been of the belief that you backed the

2816
02:27:51,840 --> 02:27:55,080
Speaker 11: brinks up truck brings truck up for him or you

2817
02:27:55,120 --> 02:27:58,240
Speaker 11: know whatever equivalent. They might have two brings in the

2818
02:27:58,360 --> 02:28:03,119
Speaker 11: nation of Germany. But obviously his departure from Liverpool, and

2819
02:28:03,320 --> 02:28:04,760
Speaker 11: you know, I'm sure he wants to hold out for

2820
02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:08,480
Speaker 11: a Germany job if he has any national interests. Soon after,

2821
02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:14,680
Speaker 11: the manager for Team Canada, who Jesse Marsh, who was

2822
02:28:14,840 --> 02:28:18,280
Speaker 11: a candidate for this job back when Burhalter was hired

2823
02:28:18,320 --> 02:28:21,520
Speaker 11: the first time Canada, by the way not only reaching

2824
02:28:21,520 --> 02:28:25,040
Speaker 11: the knockout round of Copa America but scoring a victory,

2825
02:28:25,760 --> 02:28:28,680
Speaker 11: came out with some rather scathing words about the US

2826
02:28:28,720 --> 02:28:30,879
Speaker 11: men's job. He says he has no interest in the job,

2827
02:28:31,160 --> 02:28:34,560
Speaker 11: and further than that that to be fair, he says,

2828
02:28:34,640 --> 02:28:36,959
Speaker 11: quote to be fair, unless there's a big shift in

2829
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:39,680
Speaker 11: the organization, I don't think that I'll ever have an

2830
02:28:39,680 --> 02:28:45,080
Speaker 11: interest in that job in the future. Yikes, we've outlined

2831
02:28:45,800 --> 02:28:50,200
Speaker 11: at length the problems with the US Soccer Federation, and

2832
02:28:50,240 --> 02:28:53,000
Speaker 11: I think marsh is referring to them there. So who's

2833
02:28:53,080 --> 02:28:56,080
Speaker 11: next I'm interested to see. I would not want to

2834
02:28:56,080 --> 02:28:59,000
Speaker 11: go after someone like say Jose Mourinho, who, even though

2835
02:28:59,040 --> 02:29:04,440
Speaker 11: I believe Mourinho is a supreme evaluator of talent, just

2836
02:29:04,520 --> 02:29:07,360
Speaker 11: a man who has found so many players just hidden

2837
02:29:07,400 --> 02:29:11,000
Speaker 11: in the haystacks out there, his defensive strategy, quite frankly,

2838
02:29:11,120 --> 02:29:14,960
Speaker 11: is no longer acceptable in twenty twenty four and moving

2839
02:29:15,040 --> 02:29:18,440
Speaker 11: forward and listen twenty twenty six, that there's time to go,

2840
02:29:18,640 --> 02:29:20,520
Speaker 11: not a ton of it, but there is time to go.

2841
02:29:20,879 --> 02:29:23,480
Speaker 11: But so many hopes for the US men's national team

2842
02:29:23,680 --> 02:29:26,520
Speaker 11: are being pinned on your performance in twenty twenty six.

2843
02:29:26,560 --> 02:29:29,560
Speaker 11: If you are the US Federation right, this is on

2844
02:29:29,680 --> 02:29:32,320
Speaker 11: your home field. This is a chance for you to

2845
02:29:32,400 --> 02:29:34,959
Speaker 11: prove that you belong in the top twenty, top fifteen,

2846
02:29:35,200 --> 02:29:38,720
Speaker 11: maybe even top ten of FIFA nations in the world

2847
02:29:38,800 --> 02:29:41,640
Speaker 11: out there, and that maybe you can one day compete,

2848
02:29:41,840 --> 02:29:44,840
Speaker 11: maybe not in twenty twenty six, but soon for a

2849
02:29:44,959 --> 02:29:47,480
Speaker 11: World Cup title, to be the first World Cup nation

2850
02:29:47,640 --> 02:29:51,840
Speaker 11: outside of South America and Europe. But there's a long

2851
02:29:51,879 --> 02:29:54,480
Speaker 11: way to go, and you just cannot get embarrassed like

2852
02:29:54,520 --> 02:29:56,840
Speaker 11: you did in Copa America. So you have to nail

2853
02:29:56,920 --> 02:29:59,880
Speaker 11: this higher. But they have to find someone who's actual

2854
02:30:00,600 --> 02:30:04,000
Speaker 11: interested in this job, not a yes man to the federation,

2855
02:30:04,480 --> 02:30:07,480
Speaker 11: and who is actually willing to think outside the box

2856
02:30:07,520 --> 02:30:10,040
Speaker 11: when it comes to talent on this team and how

2857
02:30:10,080 --> 02:30:13,080
Speaker 11: this team wants to perform, and most important has to

2858
02:30:13,120 --> 02:30:16,480
Speaker 11: give Team USA a clear cut identity. You can't just

2859
02:30:16,520 --> 02:30:19,520
Speaker 11: talk about the talent. You have to actually have an identity,

2860
02:30:19,560 --> 02:30:22,400
Speaker 11: be it an attacking, tough, whatever it is. But that

2861
02:30:22,520 --> 02:30:26,199
Speaker 11: is what ties teams together, the greatest teams together anyway.

2862
02:30:26,240 --> 02:30:28,760
Speaker 11: Now we turn our attention to euro and Copa. Let's

2863
02:30:28,800 --> 02:30:32,800
Speaker 11: start with KOPA. What a story Colombia has been to

2864
02:30:32,800 --> 02:30:37,760
Speaker 11: topple Uruguay amidst some really ugly scenes in Miami. As

2865
02:30:37,800 --> 02:30:41,560
Speaker 11: Team Uruguay entered the stands to fight, Colombian fans were

2866
02:30:41,640 --> 02:30:44,400
Speaker 11: raining abuse down on them. Scenes out of malice in

2867
02:30:44,440 --> 02:30:47,879
Speaker 11: the palace here. But really I really like Columbia in

2868
02:30:47,920 --> 02:30:52,400
Speaker 11: this matchup against Argentina. Argentina has been playing, still phenomenal,

2869
02:30:52,440 --> 02:30:55,680
Speaker 11: they are great, but I think that the way Columbia

2870
02:30:55,720 --> 02:30:58,800
Speaker 11: has handled its opponents the road Columbia has taken here.

2871
02:30:59,160 --> 02:31:02,640
Speaker 11: I just like that m James Rodriguez is phenomenal. This

2872
02:31:02,760 --> 02:31:06,640
Speaker 11: is one very tough matchup if you are Argentina and

2873
02:31:06,680 --> 02:31:10,279
Speaker 11: you are going to need one last amazing miracle performance

2874
02:31:10,400 --> 02:31:13,240
Speaker 11: out of Lionel Messi and all your aging stars, and

2875
02:31:13,280 --> 02:31:16,440
Speaker 11: you need Emmy Martinez standing on his head in goal

2876
02:31:16,800 --> 02:31:17,920
Speaker 11: as he has been doing.

2877
02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:18,920
Speaker 3: To be fair.

2878
02:31:20,080 --> 02:31:25,240
Speaker 11: As for Spain and and England in Euros, this is

2879
02:31:25,320 --> 02:31:27,920
Speaker 11: the English team we have kind of been waiting for.

2880
02:31:28,040 --> 02:31:30,440
Speaker 11: I didn't think we'd even get to see it. There's

2881
02:31:30,480 --> 02:31:33,280
Speaker 11: been plenty of criticism upon the head of Gareth, of

2882
02:31:33,360 --> 02:31:38,080
Speaker 11: Gareth Southgate, England really needed some miracles to pull things out,

2883
02:31:38,920 --> 02:31:42,879
Speaker 11: especially going down against the Netherlands, but like, look, just

2884
02:31:42,920 --> 02:31:45,280
Speaker 11: look at that talent out there. You've seen Harry Kane,

2885
02:31:45,480 --> 02:31:48,200
Speaker 11: Olie Watkins. You know, for whatever Southgate has been, that

2886
02:31:48,360 --> 02:31:50,960
Speaker 11: was a substitution he pulled out to get that win.

2887
02:31:51,520 --> 02:31:55,960
Speaker 11: Booke Osaka has been absolutely phenomenal for the nation, for

2888
02:31:56,040 --> 02:31:59,080
Speaker 11: the team right now, especially here, and they will be

2889
02:31:59,120 --> 02:32:02,000
Speaker 11: looking to that star power against a Spanish team that

2890
02:32:02,120 --> 02:32:06,280
Speaker 11: has shown themselves to be one hundred percent changed from

2891
02:32:06,360 --> 02:32:09,560
Speaker 11: where they were in twenty twenty two. Just two years ago,

2892
02:32:09,879 --> 02:32:13,200
Speaker 11: this was a team that got eliminated by Morocco in

2893
02:32:13,280 --> 02:32:16,640
Speaker 11: the World Cup. This is no longer the Spain that

2894
02:32:16,760 --> 02:32:21,400
Speaker 11: had that ideological purism of pressing possession that dominated the

2895
02:32:21,760 --> 02:32:26,160
Speaker 11: game for over fifteen years. No, they changed everything. As

2896
02:32:26,200 --> 02:32:29,120
Speaker 11: Team USA should be looking to maybe think about things,

2897
02:32:29,360 --> 02:32:31,280
Speaker 11: and they have shown themselves to be one of the

2898
02:32:31,280 --> 02:32:35,520
Speaker 11: most dangerous teams in this tournament. Will England finally bring

2899
02:32:35,560 --> 02:32:38,120
Speaker 11: it home? Will it finally reach this mountain top? Almost

2900
02:32:38,120 --> 02:32:41,520
Speaker 11: Spain once again assert why they are one of the

2901
02:32:41,720 --> 02:32:45,879
Speaker 11: crowns of Europe. Personally, I am taking Spain in this matchup.

2902
02:32:45,959 --> 02:32:49,240
Speaker 11: Let me hear your favorites for both these Bernie, We've

2903
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:51,800
Speaker 11: got one hell of a weekend in the world of soccer.

2904
02:32:52,240 --> 02:32:53,840
Speaker 3: Enjoy well.

2905
02:32:53,920 --> 02:32:56,200
Speaker 2: Chris is right, it's a hell of a weekend. The

2906
02:32:56,480 --> 02:32:58,640
Speaker 2: game I have the most opinion on Isaia. I just

2907
02:32:58,680 --> 02:33:02,920
Speaker 2: think Argentine it will be too much in their game,

2908
02:33:03,440 --> 02:33:07,200
Speaker 2: notwithstanding the great run their opponent has had. It's a

2909
02:33:07,240 --> 02:33:10,240
Speaker 2: shame Copo America that the Americans bought so early, but

2910
02:33:10,879 --> 02:33:13,119
Speaker 2: I guess we should be used to it by now.

2911
02:33:13,640 --> 02:33:18,680
Speaker 2: Coming up, we wrap up the show and also, as

2912
02:33:18,720 --> 02:33:20,120
Speaker 2: you know, I mean we talked a lot about the

2913
02:33:20,120 --> 02:33:22,920
Speaker 2: All Star Game Tuesday, Dimenion League Baseball All Star Game. Well,

2914
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:26,480
Speaker 2: next Saturday, the w NBA All Star Game will be played,

2915
02:33:27,040 --> 02:33:30,480
Speaker 2: and it promises to be fun and unique because it

2916
02:33:30,520 --> 02:33:33,720
Speaker 2: will be comprised of one team that was selected to

2917
02:33:33,800 --> 02:33:37,720
Speaker 2: represent the US and the Olympics versus the group of

2918
02:33:37,760 --> 02:33:41,920
Speaker 2: All Stars name that include both Caitlyn Clark and Angel

2919
02:33:42,000 --> 02:33:47,440
Speaker 2: Reese playing on the same side. So when asked, how

2920
02:33:47,480 --> 02:33:51,520
Speaker 2: did Angel Reese respond about the opportunity to play with

2921
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:56,480
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Clark on the same team. Six simple words. I

2922
02:33:56,520 --> 02:33:59,440
Speaker 2: will share that. Coming up, Hi, Bernie Frodleercoveedy live from

Speaker 2: Mark and Kevin program.

2940
02:35:00,760 --> 02:35:00,960
Speaker 6: Note.

2941
02:35:00,959 --> 02:35:03,520
Speaker 2: I will be back on these airwaves Sunday night at

2942
02:35:03,520 --> 02:35:08,160
Speaker 2: eleven pm Pacific, sitting in again for the great Ben Mallard.

2943
02:35:08,320 --> 02:35:12,879
Speaker 2: Lots of stuff to talk about. Of course, by the way,

2944
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:15,680
Speaker 2: the NFL is upon us. I'll have some NFL stuff

2945
02:35:16,200 --> 02:35:18,760
Speaker 2: Sunday night. And what's going on with the Georgia football team?

2946
02:35:18,760 --> 02:35:22,160
Speaker 2: They're not twenty four total driving related incidents. Really a

2947
02:35:22,160 --> 02:35:25,480
Speaker 2: shame about Dustin May of the Dodgers. What a bizarre injury.

2948
02:35:25,520 --> 02:35:27,600
Speaker 2: We'll take a look over time at some of the

2949
02:35:27,640 --> 02:35:35,760
Speaker 2: oddest bizarre sports injuries. Is the Brownie James participation trophy

2950
02:35:36,280 --> 02:35:38,840
Speaker 2: stakes starting to get real? There are memes now on

2951
02:35:38,879 --> 02:35:42,120
Speaker 2: the internet, and why I don't think it's fair to

2952
02:35:42,120 --> 02:35:45,800
Speaker 2: maybe attack him personally that's certainly not fair. You can

2953
02:35:45,920 --> 02:35:49,600
Speaker 2: question his game, okay, and I think it's only fair.

2954
02:35:49,640 --> 02:35:52,160
Speaker 2: When you're six for twenty six, oh for twelve from

2955
02:35:52,200 --> 02:35:56,120
Speaker 2: behind the arc, can you look pretty overmatched. Let's just

2956
02:35:56,120 --> 02:35:58,040
Speaker 2: be honest, not that it can't change. I'll give him

2957
02:35:58,040 --> 02:36:00,240
Speaker 2: a year. I said I would hold a year to

2958
02:36:00,240 --> 02:36:02,920
Speaker 2: give my full appraisal. But I can have opinions. Now.

2959
02:36:02,959 --> 02:36:04,720
Speaker 2: He doesn't do one thing really well. He gets back

2960
02:36:04,760 --> 02:36:07,720
Speaker 2: on offense. Most guys get back on defense. He gets

2961
02:36:07,720 --> 02:36:10,520
Speaker 2: back on offense, goes straight to the corner. Stands are

2962
02:36:10,560 --> 02:36:13,400
Speaker 2: like a cigar store Indian. But I digress. I like

2963
02:36:13,480 --> 02:36:17,240
Speaker 2: him personally, I don't think he's an NBA player. Angel Reese

2964
02:36:17,240 --> 02:36:20,600
Speaker 2: gets to play with Caitlin Clark or vice versa next

2965
02:36:20,800 --> 02:36:24,840
Speaker 2: Saturday at the WNBL Star Game. Now, these two have

2966
02:36:24,879 --> 02:36:29,280
Speaker 2: been lighting the league on fire with headlines, with performance

2967
02:36:29,320 --> 02:36:32,039
Speaker 2: on the floor. They've developed this rivalry that's fairly well

2968
02:36:32,120 --> 02:36:35,720
Speaker 2: unprecedented within women's basketball. And they're both rookies, but they've

2969
02:36:35,760 --> 02:36:39,000
Speaker 2: really elevated their games their respective games, and they'll play

2970
02:36:39,080 --> 02:36:42,760
Speaker 2: alongside each other in the twenty twenty four WNBA All

2971
02:36:42,760 --> 02:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Star Game next Saturday. Well on this past week on Wednesday,

2972
02:36:48,920 --> 02:36:53,720
Speaker 2: Angel Reese joined a show called NBA Today and did

2973
02:36:53,720 --> 02:36:57,119
Speaker 2: a segment to discuss her feelings. I'm playing with Caitlin

2974
02:36:57,160 --> 02:37:01,040
Speaker 2: Clark later this month, and I want to give Angel

2975
02:37:01,040 --> 02:37:04,160
Speaker 2: Reaves top credit for how she responded. She's a damn

2976
02:37:04,200 --> 02:37:06,960
Speaker 2: good player. Okay, great low post player, double double machine.

2977
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:11,080
Speaker 2: You get the point six words. She said, It's going

2978
02:37:11,160 --> 02:37:15,720
Speaker 2: to be really cool quote. I know so many fans

2979
02:37:15,760 --> 02:37:18,120
Speaker 2: are gonna come out to watch both of us being

2980
02:37:18,160 --> 02:37:20,000
Speaker 2: able to be in that environment. We're gonna be playing

2981
02:37:20,040 --> 02:37:22,240
Speaker 2: together for a while, so this is not going to

2982
02:37:22,280 --> 02:37:23,879
Speaker 2: be the last time re said it. She also went

2983
02:37:23,920 --> 02:37:25,520
Speaker 2: on to say, I know we'll be All Stars again.

2984
02:37:26,040 --> 02:37:29,440
Speaker 2: I know hopefully twenty twenty eight will be Olympians together

2985
02:37:29,520 --> 02:37:33,760
Speaker 2: as well. Pretty cool. You can have healthy respect for

2986
02:37:33,800 --> 02:37:37,640
Speaker 2: each other. You can have a rivalry without hating each other. Frankly,

2987
02:37:38,120 --> 02:37:40,039
Speaker 2: let's let them do their talking on the floor. And

2988
02:37:40,120 --> 02:37:43,439
Speaker 2: I thought the way Angel Reaves handled that was really professional,

2989
02:37:43,520 --> 02:37:48,720
Speaker 2: really cool and very gracious. They're both having out standing

2990
02:37:48,800 --> 02:37:50,640
Speaker 2: rookie season. It's gonna do it for the Bernie Fradles

2991
02:37:50,640 --> 02:37:53,360
Speaker 2: show back on these airwaves Sunday night at eleven pm.

2992
02:37:53,400 --> 02:37:56,360
Speaker 2: In the meantime, Keep it locked. The Great Andy Furman

2993
02:37:56,560 --> 02:37:57,680
Speaker 2: up next, Keep it locked.
