00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: single night. And I'm telling you, I don't know how many

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: times I have to say it. I'm fine with the

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Mets not giving Edwin Diaz one hundred million dollars for

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 1: that roller coaster ride that he's been for the past

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: six years. It had just been seventy million off. Fine,

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I do like that. It's three years, sixty

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: nine million. Somewhere rob Ronkowski is look and let me

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: say this right because there is a lot to do

37
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: with this right before before we get to the NBA.

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Is that All day? I've seen so many different media

39
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: personalities talking about, oh, the Mets blew it. I can't

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: believe the metsage. The Mets were trending all day. How

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: do you let Edwin Diaz go? How do you Leedwin

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: Diez go? And I'm like, Okay, yeah, okay, you don't

43
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: know baseball and you know anything, you know okay, because

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing is that the Dodgers. And look, and

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: I'm the biggest Mets fan in the world, and I'm

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: telling you, I get that people want to go to

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I don't think Edwin Diaz was picking the

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers because he was just pissed at the Mets and

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: he said, oh, I'll go to the Dodge. You know,

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: it was okay, the Dodgers, I'm here, three years, sixty

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: nine million. The Mets came up with the same basically

52
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: the same offer. Okay, so we do to keep you.

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: That's great. But Edwin Diaz wanted to go to LA

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand why you want to go

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: to a team that's loaded, that's winning World Series, that

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: is that is global, that is coast to coast, that

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: is the most popular team in Major League Baseball. I

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: guess popular as the Mets are, as popular, as the

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Yankees are as popul as other teams are. I get it.

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: The Dodgers is a completely different animal. I want to

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: go there, I want to win. I get players wanting

62
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: to go play for the Dodgers. It's not like he

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: ditched the Mets for the Rays, you know, or he

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: went or he decided to go you I'm gonna go

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: to the Angels. I mean, it's not like that happened. Man.

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean understand that there's only so much you could

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: if the guy wants to be a Dodger, and I

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: understand wanting to be a Dodger, but it has extra

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: value on so many levels.

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Right, we talk about the global brand like major League

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: Baseball as a whole. Right, We've got a couple of

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: We talked with John Paul Morosi last hour at John

73
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: Morosi where you find him on Twitter for his latest

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: from the winter meetings. But talked about, you know, the

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: Japanese players that are coming in this year and the

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: bidding wars that maybe we get some surprises where the

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Pirates actually spend money. But we talk about the

78
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: the global impact. Right, there's estimates that the Dodgers have

79
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: already made back what they spent on the Otani contract

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: that's now just sitting in estro and will be paid

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: out when they need to do it. Like that, that's

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: how big a brand. This is how big an impact.

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: And guess what, Yeah, he's a star. Yamamoda is a star, Suzaki,

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: all these other guys are stars now too, in popular

85
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: in Jaban because they're part of this global enterprise.

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: So there's more.

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Value beyond the three to sixty nine that you're going

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: to get by being a member of the Dodgers and

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: that level of exposure. Not to mention, you know, winning

90
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: feels pretty good. Los Angeles is pretty nice. Man. Sometimes

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: there's stuff to break down on Diaz and there's stuff

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: that we'll get into more in detail. Looking nobody knows

93
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Diaz better than I do. But like, understand, okay, when

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: you're leaving for the best team in baseball, how did

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: that something become? How do you not keep that guts right?

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous what we're trying to find a way. But

97
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: the Mets embarrass themselves enough with many other things. There's

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: no reason, Ah, the Mets fail. The guy wanted to be.

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: But this is the kind of thing he's like, do

100
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: I have to show your receipts of messages with his

101
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: agent to say this is what.

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: We're offering him? Like, and I get it. There's some

103
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: backstory as to maybe he wasn't you know, on the

104
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: front burner.

105
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: One of those I want to be field loved, right,

106
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: go back to Jerry Maguire. It's like, ah, you know,

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: we did all this stuff, you weren't with us, so

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: we moved on kind of thing, right, So you know,

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: I understand maybe a little bit of frustration there and

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: the fact that you bring in Devin Williams and you're

111
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: looking around going what are we doing here? But the

112
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: reality is he goes to a situation where he can

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: be king after a year where they was break glass

114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: in case of emergency at the closer position time and

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: again for a guy to be solid and bring a

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: guy that can play a trumpet like that with him.

117
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, yeah, he's probably got a record deal already.

118
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: You got in Game Entertainment. I'm sure Timmy L. Trump

119
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: It has a record deal already. Timmy loss Trumpet L

120
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: to me, L Trumpet's got a record deal. Does the

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: L travel. I'm sure he's gonna be on the new

122
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift album. I'm sure that's gonna happen. There'll be

123
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: another one Confessions of a Trumpet Player, and he's gonna

124
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: be on there. It's gonna be him. Do you think

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the price of those cards that tops Now did with

126
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the autograph Timmy l Trumpet went up today. Oh yeah,

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I can't believe you didn't start the

128
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: show by saying I want to buy a couple of

129
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: Timmy old Trumpet cards. Because that's you normally do whatever

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: normally do. Whenever a player has a big night you

131
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: you or or a big day the day before, you

132
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: spend the next day trying to get some rookie cards

133
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: of his as cheap as possible and trying to flip

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: him for money. You always say, hey, you want to

135
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: buy You said to me last night you want to

136
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: buy a Cameron Dicker rookie card football. I mean I

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: did not, Yes, no, categorically wrong, liar.

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: You said that.

139
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: You said that on the air three times. You try

140
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: to on air. You try to just put a card

141
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: in my pocket and say just pay me when you're running.

142
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't want a Cameron Dicker rookie card.

143
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: I know you're good for it. Now, l autograph out of.

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: Elsewhere. Tonight it's an NBA Cup night, and we watched

145
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Magic win their quarterfinal matchups to

146
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: head to the Semis matchup. Hey, Knicks are the only

147
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: NBA team to go to the quarterfinals in each of

148
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: the three years. We're hanging that bleeping batter at MSG. Man,

149
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: here come the Knicks. Now, there's two takeaways we get

150
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: to hear an N one B game tomorrow night. Is

151
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: that the Knicks sort of seem like they're figuring it out.

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: It was a little rocky in the beginning. Again, I

153
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: worry about the minutes they play again. They're up fifteen

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes and for some reason, Brunson

155
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: and Towns are still on the court. I can't trust it.

156
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: NBA man, It's like, is Tims coaching the team from afar?

157
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Like is he still calling and going no, I'll leave

158
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: those guys on the floor. Did you look at the minutes?

159
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: But the Clarkson and Mitchell Robinson were the only two

160
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 3: off the bench to play double digit minutes.

161
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a cup game. It was a

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: cup game. Was so I get if you did have

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a lead of fifteen or more. Pretty much from the

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: middle of the second quarter, the Raptors took their starters

165
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: out before the Knicks did, Like, I don't know how

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: you don't do that many took. They took the starts

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: out with two and a half minutes left to go.

168
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that? Why are you leaving your guy?

169
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: Does Brunson really need to be in there with a

170
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: minute twenty left you're up by fifteen points. No, he doesn't.

171
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: The game is over, man, it's over. But this is

172
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: bad news for Yannis, right If the Knicker is preferred destination,

173
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the more the Knicks figure it out, the less likely

174
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to say we'll upset the apple cart

175
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: and trade from the deadline. Giannis was their break glass

176
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: in case of emergency plan, and we found out tonight

177
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: there's tension. Sham Stroania has the report there's tension in

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Milwaukee with the players on the team and Giannis's situation

179
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: where he's potentially could get traded anytime. If the Knickers

180
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: preferred destination. He needs them to stink, he needs them

181
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: to find a way to not win, and Karl Anthony

182
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Towns to not be an answer, because that's the way

183
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: he's getting to New York. It's why I said the

184
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, Hey, I'm in club med because

185
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: if the Knicks are good, great, I'm feeling awesome. If

186
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: the Knicks aren't good. Guess what we're getting yanis to

187
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: the deadline. So I'm good either way. But this is

188
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: if the knicksers preferred destination. The more the Knicks win,

189
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: and now they're beating pretty good teams double digits. Now

190
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: they're winning games on the road, they were in control

191
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: of the entire night. Tonight, Brunson was a house of

192
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: fire in the first quarter. We hat like eighteen in

193
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Like, this is bad news for Yannis

194
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: because now suddenly he's got to say, are the Knicks

195
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: really gonna do this? I might have to start looking

196
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: at other places where I could go, at least for

197
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: this year or however long I want to, because the

198
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: more they win, it doesn't look like they're gonna put

199
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna pull the trigger for the deadline, and I

200
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: gotta go someplace.

201
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some curious reports out of Chicago as a

202
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: potential destination, and certainly you start expanding back Miami and

203
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: some others along the way. Some of the unrest in Milwaukee,

204
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: I also have to believe is all right. Well, while

205
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: Yannis may not go, what does it mean for us?

206
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Right? Do we get packaged and suddenly you're uncomfortable with.

207
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: I may be on borrowed time here where I go

208
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: to another place minutes whatever may be changing, but I've

209
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: got to uproot my life in the next four to

210
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: six weeks or thereabouts. And maybe you're you're comfortable in

211
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: your space, but certainly from Milwaukee, we've talked about it

212
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: like Yan hasn't been there since twenty thirteen. You have

213
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: the title run and a lot of mediocrity, some great

214
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: regular seasons and early flameouts, so looking for an exit

215
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: your knicks. You're too good, right and even and I

216
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: hate shut it even you've used those words.

217
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: But we look at the Eastern Conference. You've had a

218
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: couple of teams like the Bulls that got out to

219
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: fast starts. Gets what they fizzled. We're not even a

220
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: halfway anywhere close to halfway into the season and you

221
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: already see them sinking towards the bottom. Several other teams

222
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 3: in that same spot. You just decimated Toronto that everybody's

223
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: held up as a pretty good squad. So now it

224
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: becomes the how do we upset this? Because it's not

225
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: one for one, right, That's the hard part is that

226
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: it becomes three or four guys have to go back

227
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: the other way. And when we're talking about rotations, which

228
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: isn't terribly deep as it is, Yan is coming off

229
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: and being compromised from an injury. You're talking about a

230
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: year that all right, and we're gonna change what we've

231
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: got and bring in a guy wishing and hoping that

232
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: his legs.

233
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: Hold up for the rest of this year.

234
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: We may love it long term, but we're gonna give

235
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: up a year of Brunson playing at this level.

236
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: It's a difficult proposition, my friend. Meanwhile, another injury that

237
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: plays into tomorrow. Because of tomorrow night's another e Cup Night, Oh, huge,

238
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: Cup night. Huge? Is that at eight o'clock start on Peacock?

239
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: I think so. I think they're starting at noon and

240
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: at midnight. I think that's what they're doing. Okay, yeah,

241
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: they're They're still too close together. So noon we get

242
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Spurs, and then midnight we get

243
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: the Thunder. What do they play in between the uh uh, Well, no,

244
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the game goes all the way, only they stretch it out.

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: They stretch all the way, a lot of timeouts. They

246
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: go all the way to the pre show, and boy,

247
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long pre show, uh Wenby officially

248
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: ruled out for the E Cup quarterfinal game tomorrow, and

249
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: I know, I'm gonna tell you it's admirable how well

250
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: the Spurs have played without Wemby. This again, when they

251
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: were my long shot picking the Western Conference, going, hey,

252
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Wemby's gonna be the best player in the league sometime

253
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: this season. They're my team in the Western Conference. Right

254
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Detroit was my team in the East preseason. Wemby and

255
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: the Spurs my team in the West. I didn't think

256
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: they'd not just stay this afloat, but they'd still win games,

257
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: which tells you how good they are and how dangerous

258
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: they'll be when Wemby comes back. But he's not back tomorrow.

259
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Spurs and the Lakers, it's gonna wind up being the Lakers.

260
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: And I know the thunder of the big draw. But

261
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: now suddenly you're saying, wait a minute, we could get

262
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Knicks Lakers E Cup final. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,

263
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: we get Nick Lakers Knicks Lakers, which means we'll wind

264
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: up getting Magic in the thunder. But we could get

265
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: we could get Nix Lakers a Cup final because the Lakers.

266
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Right now, we said it about seven eight days ago,

267
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: and it's still true they have while we're ahead of

268
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the curve. They have no problems right now. The Lakers

269
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: have no Lebron getting like the game where he broke

270
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: his double digit point streak and still turned out to

271
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: be a hero. He didn't celebrate with the team, Still

272
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: have to be a hero. The next game was big

273
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: for him as well, taking over down the stretch. Guys

274
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: are still taking their picture with them after the game

275
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: is over. The Lakers have no problems. They've even figured

276
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: out how to welcome Lebron back in an awkward way

277
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: when you knew coming back you're the third maybe fourth

278
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: option some nights. They've now welcomed him back and everything

279
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: is fine. That's how much the Lakers have no problems

280
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: right now because it's not awkward with Lebron at all.

281
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: Didn't think that was possible. But this is the Lakers,

282
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: seventeen and six. They're only five and a half point

283
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: favorites in this game. To your point about how well

284
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: the Spurs have coalesced with wemby sideline sixteen and seven

285
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: on the year, are the Spurs two thirty seven? You're

286
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: over under as we get ready for Cup action Curious

287
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: long term, right, it's work short term and we've seen

288
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: great play overall. This also always swirling about contracts, futures,

289
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: trades and those dynamics that start to go around, especially

290
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: as superstar names get thrown out there like Giannis. But

291
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, yeah, I mean, you've got Luca and

292
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Reeves playing ridiculous basketball, Ruya Chimura's shooting really well from

293
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: three point range, and DeAndre Ayton most nights shows you

294
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: that guy that you wished he was going to come

295
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: into the league as when he was with Phoenix. So

296
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: Lebron James, We'll see how long he's content to play

297
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: this role because I'm still waiting for the other shooting jobs. Now,

298
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: you have no problem and like.

299
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,359
Speaker 3: Your your cup thing, I would like to have Bavakua online,

300
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: so like I know, it gets played out on a court. Yeah,

301
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: but when the it is the magic and the thunder

302
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: and not the Nixon Lakers, we go to him for comment.

303
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: Exit ovouta Fresca, Exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon

304
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up next,

305
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: we get back into the biggest story of the day

306
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: and why it might not be as much of a

424
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. That's pointing to you like it was two

425
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: both of us. Okay, But I mean I want to

426
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: see what that would be like. Like would how would

427
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: be able to be the.

428
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: Happiest son of an ungoing It's like if I went

429
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: to Disneyland.

430
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty five days, you couldn't hear Duley, you couldn't

431
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: hear after No, They've got holidays music you could own,

432
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: but that's all you could listen to. Not one time

433
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: can you turn on the song that's not holiday music?

434
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Can't listen to it for a year.

435
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: We have we have to figure out what the lines are.

436
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the college football playoffs. We got

437
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: to figure out where the guardrails are as to what

438
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: extends to a holiday holiday holiday song. If you had

439
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: a holiday the two holiday stations that just went all

440
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: year run, that's the only thing you could listen to.

441
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but only.

442
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: But again, it's in the parameter of how big is

443
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: that playlist and what does it extend to.

444
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: No, it's you have to take I get Stings winter album.

445
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: Maybe.

446
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: No, you have to take whatever is on a state

447
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: because then if they let if you pick, well, but

448
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: this technically is a holiday song. No, it's not a

449
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: holiday man, We're gonna we have been arguing die hard

450
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: for thirty years. Whatever it is on a playlist, like

451
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: whatever's on on serious appe. I think I could do

452
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: this for whatever. You can do it for an entire year.

453
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: No other music. You who changes songs every fifty seconds?

454
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: No at all. That's categorically one. Come on, nomost been

455
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: in the car together? You change songs? We listen. We

456
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: haven't been in my car in years. I don't, I

457
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: don't think. Okay, probably a year, but in the in

458
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: the ten years leading up to it, you change songs

459
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: every fatasy second. No, no, no, why need to call

460
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: your kids, get them on the show round you love Me?

461
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: They will. They're gonna be one hundred percent if you

462
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: don't call them and say, hey, do Daddy is solid? No,

463
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: they'll come on and say, oh you hundred percent. Dad

464
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: changes songs all the time. I don't get a minute

465
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: into a song before he's finding something else. He celebrates

466
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: the whole cattle you have. You have some sort of

467
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: like music tick where you're like, all right, no, no,

468
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: new song, new song, your song, all right, let's listen

469
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: to it again. I listen to new song.

470
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 4: You.

471
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: I do have a thing right. I don't generally like choruses.

472
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: I don't like chorus. No, no, no, And it goes back

473
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 3: to the whole Paradise City conundrum. That become nine minutes

474
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: of that when it gets to the part of the

475
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 3: song everybody can sing along too.

476
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I don't doubt you know.

477
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: It's like I like hate jud until he comes to

478
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: nine No no, I like it.

479
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: No, no, no no. I'll tell you that there's your

480
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: next documentary, right the patent pending patten Penner. I'm in

481
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Christmas songs every day. Put that go pro on my head,

482
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: let's go h. So we'll get to the Edwin Diaz

483
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: signing coming up in a few minutes with the Dodgers,

484
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: because there's a there's a big there's a couple of

485
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: big takeaways from this. But before that, today, Kyle Schwarber

486
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: best free agent out there that we think is going

487
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: to be out there, that's going to that could have

488
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: changed teams. Right guy finished second in MVP voting this year.

489
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we're getting a big trade. But as far as

490
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: free agents go, Kyle Schwarber re ups with the Phillies

491
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: five years, one hundred and fifty million dollars. We had

492
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: heard that other teams were in on the mix with him,

493
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: potentially the Reds. As I saw this come out, I'm like, Yeah,

494
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: he's using all these teams against the Feet. He doesn't want

495
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: to leave the Phillies. He knows he's got a good

496
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: thing going. The fact that these other teams are kind

497
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: of in there tells me that we're trying to juice

498
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: the mark a bit so I can get all I

499
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: need from the Phillies.

500
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: The one, the one thing that I thought could have

501
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: happened was a reunion in Chicago. Could have been that

502
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: that that might have went with Kyle Tucker expected to

503
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: leave that potentially that was the homecoming folk herod did

504
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 3: good all of that and comes back and mashes at

505
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: Wrigley Field again.

506
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna surprise you because you think, okay, Phillies.

507
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna say X, Y and Z about the Phillies

508
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: and Kyle schwart This was a really good contract. It

509
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: was really good. Now the end is gonna be rough

510
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: because Kyle Schwarber is not going to age well thirty

511
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: two but only designated hitter. So that's it frightened. But

512
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: it's not like they signed him for ten years. They're

513
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: not stuck like they are with Bryce Harper, who is

514
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: honestly is a very good player. Like we were ahead

515
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: of the curve with that. Now their GM is saying

516
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: that he's a very good plan that didn't go. Bryce

517
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: Harper hasn't been an elite player in a long time.

518
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: He was never one hundred percent elite all the time.

519
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: He had a couple of really big years, but basically

520
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: he's a guy. He's a thirty and ninety guy, right

521
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: and he used to walk one hundred sometimes he doesn't

522
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: do that anymore. He is a very good player. I'm

523
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: sorry that he feels that way, but that contract is

524
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna be an albatross. This is five years. The next

525
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: two to three years from Kyle Schwarber are gonna be

526
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: good because number one, the guy is still gonna hit

527
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: home runs. It's gonna drive in runs. The Phillies are

528
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: still gonna spend, as you see, they're gonna spend to

529
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: stay in contention, right, they have no choice when you

530
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: when you go in on on on Bryce Harper, like

531
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: you did, well, we gotta we got to keep this

532
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: team going, right, You're gonna get Zach Wheeler back next year.

533
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a little bit better. There's gonna be changes,

534
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: obviously it needs to be because you're not good enough

535
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: to be a World Series team. But let's say the

536
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: contract goes bad and Shore becomes a bit of a

537
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, someone who who drags the

538
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: team down but is no longer worth thirty million a year.

539
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be more than the last year and

540
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: a half of his deal. And that's absolutely palatable, especially

541
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: now when you're thinking that at the end of this

542
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: deal is in five years, right, so it's the next

543
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: three years. This is a great contract, right, don't have

544
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: to worry about him playing in the field. He's a

545
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: DH only. Yes, it's a lot to spend in the DH,

546
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: but coming off a season of fifty eight home runs

547
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty RBIs Yeah, this is a good

548
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: deal for the Phillies. And they talk about what a

549
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: great clubhouse guy he is, and honestly, he is the

550
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: most important player on that team. Bryce Harper is not.

551
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: He can think that he is, but Kyle Schwarber, they

552
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: would not have been where they are. They could have

553
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: still finished and won the NL East without Bryce Harper.

554
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it without Kyle Schwarber hitting lead

555
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: off for most of the year, doing it also hitting

556
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: second in that order. He is the guy that makes

557
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: that team go. It's like when Shaq and Kobe played

558
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: together and Shaq was the one and Kobe was the

559
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: one A, and when Kobe got too close to being

560
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: the one, the Lakers let Shaq go. Right, this is

561
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: where you're seeing. Kyle Schwarber was the one A to

562
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper the last couple of years. Now, Kyle Schwarber'

563
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: is the one. Bryce Harper's the one A. Like this

564
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: was a great. He doesn't need to play the field.

565
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: He's gonna rake, He's gonna get all the at bats.

566
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: This is who he is. He knows he's got a

567
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: good thing going. He stayed in Philadelphia. This was a

568
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: great contract by the Phillies. And I'm tough as a

569
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 1: Mets fan. I'm telling you, this is a great contract

570
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: by the Yeah.

571
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they have the reports out there that both

572
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: the Reds and Orioles came a calling with the numbers

573
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: to match, which is kind of curious, right, especially we

574
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: talked with JP last hour and the fact that the

575
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 3: Orioles and Pirates are names are two teams that are

576
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: really being aggressive and trying to add talent. That's great,

577
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 3: that's good for Baseball Pirates, especially as they try to

578
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: convince Paul Skeens to stick around. But you look at

579
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: schwarb with fifty six home runs last four years, forty six,

580
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: forty seven, thirty eight. He's got three straight one hundred

581
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 3: RBI season. He walks over one hundred times every year.

582
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 3: Like all of those things, you're setting the table and

583
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 3: you're clearing it. Right, it's a beautiful thing, right, he

584
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: does both. He's gonna clear the table if if guys

585
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: get on Bay and then he's also getting on base

586
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: a ton to give Harper and the others a chance.

587
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: So he's gonna hit two thirty to two forty. That

588
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: is what you're gonna have to deal with. He had

589
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: that one to ninety seven batting average going back to

590
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. But for his career he's a two

591
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 3: thirty one hitter. That's what you expect. A lot of walks,

592
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 3: a ton of strikeouts. We've normalized what a strikeout is.

593
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: Perhaps eventually the pendulum will swing back as to what

594
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: constitutes a quote good out in baseball again, like contact

595
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: mattered once upon a time. But until that day, you know,

596
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 3: Schwarber is a good folk hero. He's a good clubhouse guy.

597
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: He's a good.

598
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Fan rallying around point no question about it in Philadelphia.

599
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: And when when you look at that production, who else

600
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: in the marketplace is matching that? Right, there's a lot

601
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: of question marks. And at five years that'll put him

602
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: at thirty seven years old. You're fine, especially if you're

603
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: not suddenly breaking glass in case of emergency where suddenly

604
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: he's got to strap on the catching gear again or

605
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: play a bunch of the field to where a he's

606
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: a butcher and can't do it and be he's more

607
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: likely to get hurt from this button. It's brilliant. Exit up,

608
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: exit out, bout of Fresca, exit swalling down. The Jason

609

Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. Tom gotta

610

Speaker 1: find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.

611
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: So someone who's been called the Kyle Schwarber of Fox

612
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, he can hit the ball just as far

685
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: probably woke up, or if you're like me, your phone

686
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: was going off crazy and I said, something happened. Something happened,

687
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: and Edwin Diaz, former Mets closer, leaves the Mets for

688
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: the Dodgers three years, sixty nine million dollars. Uh, and

689
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: it vexes you to no end. No, And here's the thing,

690
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: I am okay with it for a couple of reasons. No,

691
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: you're not. I mean, you took your Mets hat off.

692
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: That's how mad. You have just got hot in the studio,

693
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: so I took it is really warm in here. I

694
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: don't know what those guys do. Rob Parker's sixty's he's

695
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: got it jacked up to like eighty five degrees when

696
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: he comes in here.

697
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: Me man, it's like.

698
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: When you walk in sweat lies. It's like when you

699
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: walk in on Christmas and you go to like your

700
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: mom's aunt's house and you're freezing cold, and you walk

701
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: into the house and something, it's like, oh my god,

702
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: it's so dry in here.

703
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 2: There's something could catch fire.

704
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: My skin is getting ashy. I if I walk too

705
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: fast across the rug, there's gonna be sparks. It's so

706
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: hot in his house. But I'm okay with it for

707
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. One, but you're not. No, I'm

708
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: absolutely okay because he's a close right. Edwin Diaz meant

709
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot to the Mets. I get it. You need

710
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: to change after last year with blowing the playoff lead. Yeah,

711
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give a hundred million dollars to

712
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: a closer. Right, thee hundred million dollars for Diez was

713
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: not a great investment. It wasn't a great investment. They

714
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: had it, and I feel like the Mets are lucky

715
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: that he opted out and now signing this bigger deal

716
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers a couple of years later, because you

717
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: know what he's been in every other year. Guy, right,

718
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: his first year with the Mets, was awful. His second

719
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: year was really good. Third year he got hurt, missed

720
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: the whole year. Next year he was terrible. Last year

721
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: he was really good. He's not Rivera, he's not Hoffman,

722
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: he's not Bruce Sooner, he's not Raleigh Fingers. Sure, he's

723
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: not any of these guys. Right, what he's not a

724
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: year in a year. There's nobody who's a year and

725
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: in year. Lights out closer. When you were figuring out

726
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: a bullpen, you got to figure out, Okay, we want

727
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: a guy coming off a year where he's on an

728
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: upswing because guys aren't consistent every year. It's why the

729
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: Devin Williams saying, Okay, he was great two years ago,

730
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: last year not quite as great. That's broken. Feel like, okay,

731
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: we can fix him a little. Okay, I see that.

732
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: I get why teams do that. You're trying to play

733
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: whack a mole with relievers, like we want to pick

734
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: a guy again him when he's having a big year,

735
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: because you don't want to sign a guy for a

736
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: long term because they hardly ever work out. And Diaz

737
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: has been in every other year player right, and I

738
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: mean it for the Dodgers, Yes, they went out and

739
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: you feel like, Okay, they figured out their big problem

740
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: after last year, they figured out the bullpen. Well, you

741
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: know what, this time last year we said the Dodgers

742
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: figured out the bullpen. They went out and got Tanner Scott,

743
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: they had three closers, everything was fine. What happened the

744
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: end of the year they had no closers. Right, the

745
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw's coming in at the end to help close

746
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: games out right, Roki Sasaki has to come out and

747
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: close games because that's all they have left. There's nobody else.

748
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: So in theory, you want to say, yes, the Dodgers

749
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: took care of their Okay, you know what, maybe they didn't.

750
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: Because DZ is coming off a great year. Is he

751
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: really gonna have another year like this? Right? Because for

752
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: every outing you get from Edwin Diaz that's twelve pitches,

753
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: three strikeouts, ninety eight mile an hour pipe out slider,

754
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get an outing where he comes in with

755
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: a three to nothing lead in the ninth and after

756
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: three batters it's two walks and a hit by pitch

757
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: and suddenly the bases loaded with nobody out. You're going,

758
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: what the hell is happening here? Like that's Edwin Diaz.

759
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: He's not. And if you're gonna spend money on players,

760
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: you gotta spend money more than just what we're trying

761
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: to lock down the ninth inning. The Dodgers can do

762
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: it because they have everything else taken care of, and

763
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: we'll see if they're right about this. Right on paper,

764
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: it's a great move, But I'm telling you, I know

765
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz. I know what he's been for the past

766
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: five plus years with the Mets. That's he's at every

767
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: other game. Guy Narco will be exciting, loading the basis

768
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: for no reason. Is not going to be throwing wild pitches,

769
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: is not going to be That's that's the Edwin Diaz experience.

770
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna pay one hundred million dollars just

771
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: to bring him back for the ninth inning. When you

772
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: have a lot of money you can spend in other places.

773
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: You'll figure out the back end of the bullpen. You're

774
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: gonna go through relievers anyway every single year. Relievers are

775
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: very replaceable. That's just how it goes in Major League Baseball. Yeah,

776
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: we look at the saves through his career.

777
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: He's got two fifty three four for his run last

778
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: year was fantastic in his sixty six and a third

779
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: innings pitched, no question about it. You look at the

780
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: strikeout to walk a ratio ninety eight strikeouts in that

781
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 3: period against twenty one walks, and just dominance. To your

782
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: point where we look at closers, A couple of bad

783
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: outings really can submarine a stat line and you arride

784
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 3: the lightning right all the guys you mentioned Hall of Famers,

785
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: there's a very large swath of closers and plenty of

786
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: guys that have had one or two good years and

787
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 3: then we're broken and never resurrected.

788
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, to this point, you know when Padres tried to

789
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: do last year, Oh we locked up the bullpet Okay, great,

790
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: how far did that get you? But right, I mean, look,

791
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: you guys brought in Devin Williams, guy that a couple

792
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: of years ago used said you were listening to that

793
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: ninth inning and Pete Alan's and all that fun stuff.

794
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 3: I did listen to that, right, I did listen to that.

795
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: So in theory, you've got your guy, So Edwin Diaz.

796
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: Part of it is hubris, Like, why am I gonna

797
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: stay here? I'm not necessarily the guy. I'm a cod

798
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 3: closer ish, Hey, what are we doing right? You're guaranteed.

799
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 3: And when we're talking about money, difference between New York

800
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 3: and LA money ain't much. Right when we get down

801
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 3: to it, maybe it was quibbling over one more year

802
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: he would have taken it. If he've gotten the fourth

803
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 3: year in New York, he'd stayed, or whatever the case

804
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 3: may be. But going to the Dodgers, I mean, plenty

805
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: of opportunities. But they've also shown the ability as you

806
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: navigated this season, if we need to pull you from

807
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: that that spot for a while to see if you

808
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: can get right, they will. And so coming into twenty

809
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 3: twenty six, very curious space. But three year, sixty nine

810
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: million dollars is a drop in the bucket. Okay, Look,

811
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: it's not a bad contract. I'm not saying it's a

812
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: bad contract. Three year, sixty nine million, Okay. He obviously

813
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: wanted to be a Dodger. Mess offer him the same money.

814
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: I want to go to the Dodgers. I understand that

815
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are great, right, I get people wanting to go.

816
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: Play for the Dodgers. It's not a bad contract. It's

817
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: just get ready for the Edwin Dazic experience. This is

818
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: not going to be every single game he's lights out

819
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: top to bottom. He has issues, he fluctuates, and again

820
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: you're coming off a great Edwin d As year, and

821
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: every great Edwin d As year for most of his

822
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: career has been followed up by a less than subpar year.

823
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: Well we thought that with Blake Snow he won a

824
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: World Series in his half here, Yeah, you had.

825
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: Only signed one year deals to keep getting more.

826
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: No, but well no, he signed a big deal, so like,

827
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens in year two of his But

828
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: maybe he just needs to get away from the Mets

829
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 3: Jets conundrum.

830
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: Oh that could be. I thought that could always X

831
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: Matt now even better. Biggest story of the NFL the

832
