Speaker 2: Happy Wednesday to you and yours who hump day. You

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: could have a lot of different meetings for a Wednesday

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: for some of us who are here on Sunday, like yourself, Well,

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: it's not even your hump day because you are here. Oh,

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: I know Saturday and Sunday, but now you're starting the week.

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: It's kind of a hump day for me. We're just

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: happy it's Wednesday. We made it to Wednesday. We're a

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: day away from Week five in the NFL and more.

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: College football and baseball has been able to soothe our

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: senses for at least a few days in these afternoons

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: with the wild card games. But I'm telling you, Moncie,

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: not everything is right with these best of three series.

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: I don't I don't disagree with you there, Dan, could

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: we have been more interested in the games happening on Sunday?

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: I'll I think there's a lot to that and what's

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: going on with this landscape of major League Baseball right now,

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: because I think it's neats. I think it's great when

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: you're at work. Maybe you're in Cleveland, maybe you're in Detroit.

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: Maybe you're a Tigers or Guardians fan, Cubs and Padres

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: about to get underway from Wrigley in San Diego. Maybe

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: not a lot of work is getting done today, and

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: it's great to have meaningful baseball during the day. I

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: understand all of that. I get all of that, but

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering on how much stock is being put

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 2: into these best of three series. You're a Dodgers fan.

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: The Dodgers welcome the Reds to town last night in

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: Game one of a series where the Dodgers have had

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: the Reds number all season long, and it happened again

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: last night. Now, there may have been some hairy instances,

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: but by and large, the Dodgers were basically in cruise

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: control for much of the night. You're at Dodger Stadium.

38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how many times a week, but you're

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: there every single week of the season and every single

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: week of the off season. Was there any buzz in

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: advance of last night's Wildcards start against the Reds.

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: No, not a lot. It was not a sold out game.

43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: You could have still literally walked up to the stadium

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: to the box office and bought tickets. In fact, I

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: think you could have gotten cheaper tickets from third party

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: of season ticket holders who did not seem to care

47
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: necessarily about playing the Cincinnati Reds in a Wildcard series

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: best of three in LA. And it has more to

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: do with a couple things. As a Dodger fan, we've

50
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: done this before, we've been here. Yes, a lot like

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: going to the postseason. We're very lucky fan base.

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: We go.

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: That's our norm is to go to the postseason. And

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: I do think if the Mets would have clinched, it

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: would have been different. I do think that. I think

56
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: there's a little bit more bad blood but with the Reds, like,

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: oh the Reds are in?

58
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: How great is that? I love Kelly, Yes, I love

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 4: Ellie de Lacruz.

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: You know, Hunter Green goes back to where his roots

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: are from first playoff game in LA.

62
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: That's tough for anybody.

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: He gets quickly lit up lead off home run from

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: sho Heyo Toanni settles in but Blake's out, Like you

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: said in Cruise Control, there was a moment where the yeah, yeah, yeah,

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: we were at the edge of our seats because our

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: poopin likes to do that to us. But luckily we

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: ended up coming out with the win. But it wasn't

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: a sold out game. Even our tours were not that busy,

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: Like it was such a calm day for a quote

71
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: unquote postseason October baseball.

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: Not really, but baseball?

73
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: Does that make a bad baseball fan? Like, I'm not

74
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: saying that the Dodgers are baseball fans. Are they spoiled fans?

75
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: How can I say that we're not spoiled? Of course

76
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: we are. Of course we are. And it's like, does

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: that make us a bad fan? I don't know, But

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: maybe it's just or is it that the wild Card

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: series extending this way was unnecessary?

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: I almost feel that the Dodgers because and I don't

81
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: think it's just a Dodger thing. I think it's with

82
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves in the nineties and two thousands, when

83
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs weren't as even a substantial as they are nowadays.

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: I think we criticized Braves fans in the past of

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: not showing up because they were so used to winning

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: the division title and so used to playing divisional playoff

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: games when all that mattered were league championship series and

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: World Series. It's kind of like the Patriots in the

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: AFC East. You would not buy an AFC East champion

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: shirt in the Tom Brady era because it was such

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: a given. Now, if you were the Jets or the

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: Dolphins or during that time, the Bills, absolutely it was

93
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: a rarity. You would wear it twice a week if

94
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: you could. I would have worn it three times a

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: week at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday. May not even

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: have watched it because I wouldn't want the ink to

97
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: wear off of it.

98
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: Mariners fans, Yes, that's.

99
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: Exactly, Yes, exactly that they are. They are living the

100
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: high and they get that.

101
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: Yes.

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, so funny that you say that, because my dad

103
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: asked me to buy I'm a divisional hat and I said, why.

104
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: Do you make them? Do they make them? Yeah?

105
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: No, no, no they do.

106
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: But my dad, I said, why, bah, why you have

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: last years?

108
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: And I think I gave you the year before, Like

109
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe he asked me for that.

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: He's crazy. They should just put like a rotational number.

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: You know that that you change at the end, right right.

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: That would be funnier and more correct. Jesus, change it.

113
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: Take the year each night.

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: You could be like, what division champions should be? You

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: gonna rock, I'm gonna go twenty twenty two. So then

116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: you just adjust the number on the half.

117
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: I love that. Hold on, jan write that down. You're

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: onto something. That's a great idea.

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: You could do it. I mean, like truly, And that's

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: that's the spoiled nature of it. Doesn't make them a

121
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: bad fan. It's just there are bigger fish to fry

122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: correct And I think that's what's kind of starting to

123
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: get at what we saw last night. Jason Stewart, EXECUTIVETTY

124
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: user of the show noted Dodger fan thoughtful critic as

125
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: we allude to him when Doug is out. But you

126
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: were critic co of the Dodgers fans last night, not

127
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: of the not showing up to Monzie's point where you

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: could get cheaper tickets on the secondary market than just

129
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: walking up to the box office. You were more critical

130
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: of what was happening on the back end of last

131
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: night's game.

132
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if you're a Dodger fan, you know

133
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: the volatility of our bullpen. You've seen it all year,

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: so it just struck me as strange. And if the

135
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 5: crowd wasn't a sold out, that's fine, but the people

136
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 5: that were there had been leaving before the seventh inning,

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: and I just had to look this up to make

138
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 5: sure I got it right. The Reds entered the eighth

139
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: inning down ten to two. They got the tying run

140
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 5: on deck at some point due to the clumsy nature

141
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: of our bullpen, and I'm thinking, if I've paid money

142
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 5: to go see a playoff game, why would I leave.

143
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: It's almost like you have to be counterin in tuitive

144
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: as a Dodger fan who wants to beat the traffic

145
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: can be like the worst part of our team is

146
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 5: the bullpen. The drama might be right around the corner.

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 5: It almost forces you to stick around and make sure.

148
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 5: So I just thought it was a weird, a weird

149
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: thing to see.

150
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's the bigger picture of it. Because

151
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: Jason called it a playoff game, it is a playoff

152
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: game where in the postseason, I don't think everyone looks

153
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: at it like that. I'm looking at Wrigley right now,

154
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't see an empty seat atall. Cubbs have made

155
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: it to the postseason for the first time since twenty twenty.

156
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: It's also a thing to do. It's Wrigley Field Day

157
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: Baseball and Monci and you can win this series today,

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: So there's a reason to show up. And this is

159
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: why I'm not blaming Dodger fans and I'm not calling

160
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Dodger fans spoiled because I look at what's happening in

161
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: Cleveland right now, and Breeze going to have our update

162
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: on what's happening between the Tigers and Guardians. But it's

163
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: bottom of the sixth inning, one to one. Detroit is

164
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: up one to zero in the series. The story of

165
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: the last month in Major League Baseball is better and

166
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: the collapse of the Tigers and the rise of the Guardians.

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: Believe Land was the name that was brought back because

168
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: of what Cleveland was doing. And yesterday I saw on

169
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: social media various shots of not one not to but

170
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: a variety of empty seats in the lower bowl and

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: a variety of empty seats in the upper deck. Yes,

172
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: he was going to get to variety if Lebron kept

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: on talking. There was so many empty seats. Now you're

174
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: saying how many empty seats were they were there. I

175
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: can't give you an exact number, but I can't tell

176
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: you this that the Guardians game yesterday against the Tigers

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: drew twenty six and sixty eight fans. That isn't capacity, right.

178
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds low.

179
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: What is capacity the last week? And I'll get to

180
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: that number in just a second.

181
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: That's okay.

182
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: Last week the Tigers and Guardians played a series for

183
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: the division, right and they were battling for their playoff lives.

184
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: Every single one of those three games drew higher than

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: Game one of the wild card series yesterday.

186
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: Well, damn, that's part of the problem. Why are they

187
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: seeing each other?

188
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: We just saw how many games between the I was

189
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: gonna say the Cavaliers, the Guardians and the Tigers. If

190
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: you were a Guardians fan, like you said, this was

191
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: the most interesting story the last month of baseball. At

192
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: one point, fifteen games, fifteen and a half games out

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 3: right here they are winning the division. If you were

194
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: a Guardians fan, you probably spent your money this.

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: Past home stand, right you, You spent your.

196
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: Money this past home stand, and now the people are

197
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: here like great, So I paid money to watch this

198
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: team again.

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: That's this isn't I don't like it.

200
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: This is why you can't fool base. Yes, is because

201
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: they understand, they understand what is happening and what is

202
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 2: at stake. Last week, the game against the Tigers, of

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: them making or not making the postseason was much more valuable.

204
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: It completed their journey, this this run that they were on,

205
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: that's what it was a part of. Now. I understand

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: the game was in the daytime yesterday, the three games

207
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: against the Tigers were in the evening. But I just

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: don't know how you could ever say that a regular

209
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: season game would draw more than a playoff game. And

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: that is what we have here. And the Cubs today

211
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: can clinch. The Yankees cannot clinch. If you have a

212
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: Yankees ticket tonight at Yankee Stadium, I don't know if

213
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: you would why you would use the ticket, Manci, because

214
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: if you were to pay money for that ticket, you

215
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: are either seeing your team live another day to Game three,

216
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: which is the much more valuable ticket the next day,

217
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: or you're watching them lose and have their season end.

218
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: There's just not as much value for all of these teams. Now,

219
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: the Mariners different. I actually thought it was going to

220
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: be different with Cleveland. Yeah, but it wasn't Maybe the Cubs,

221
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: maybe the Mariners, who we don't know because they have

222
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: their buy And I think the best of five series

223
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: is different than the best of three. But for Major

224
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: League Baseball to expand these playoffs and to have this

225
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: best of three series, one of the biggest things that

226
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: I think is a detriment to seeing it is fans

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: know what these series are. These maybe aren't the real playoffs.

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: These are the playoffs to get you into the playoffs.

229
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: The stretcher under the regular season, I think meant more

230
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: to some of these teams and some of these fans

231
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: than these actual best of three series going on right now.

232
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

233
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 3: I love that line, Dan that you can't fool baseball

234
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: fans because to this Yankee Red Sox series, if you

235
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: are a fan of either teammates and the Yankees, you're

236
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: probably expecting to go beyond your expecting. I know you're

237
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: down right now, but you're probably expecting to go beyond

238
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: the wildcard, right And so Yankee fans are like, I

239
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: see the Red.

240
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 4: Sox all the damn time, all the damn time. I

241
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: don't know.

242
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: How to fix the wildcard situation in Baseball by adding

243
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: these wildcards.

244
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 4: But I hate that Detroit and.

245
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: Cleveland are playing against each other, and I hate that

246
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: the Red Songs and the Yankees are playing against each other.

247
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: I don't know how to fix it, but they shouldn't.

248
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: You shouldn't see a division rival in the wildcard when

249
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: you already see them so many times throughout the regular season.

250
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: The drawback is is somebody's going to get an unfair

251
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: draw then because you're trying to.

252
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: The life is not fair?

253
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, then what what Here's.

254
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: I don't have the solution. I'm just telling you I

255
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 4: don't like it.

256
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually, and I'm totally fine with that. Like

257
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time you're saying like, okay,

258
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: you have a problem, tell me the better solution. I

259
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: don't know what. I don't know, because what about if

260
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: you had three teams from the division all make the wildcard?

261
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: Well, then somebody flips a coin and you're right.

262
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: Somewhere like the Red Sox, Orioles and Yankees were all

263
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: totally somebody's gonna have to play somebody.

264
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: Somebody is.

265
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: But at least like that's that seems like an even

266
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: you know, more crazier situation. But this this happens like

267
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: two years ago. Dodgers should not have played the Podgers

268
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: in the wild Guard series. Like I I just don't

269
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: like it, and I don't know the solution, but somebody

270
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 3: can think of something.

271
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: Do you think it would make it more makes it

272
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: more interesting? You just said that if the Mets and

273
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers played that it would have been a more interesting

274
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: I think.

275
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: So, yes, because I think there's a little bit more

276
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: bad blood. Also, the Mets have a guy what's his name,

277
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: what's his name? Wan Soto Dan that guy also what's

278
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: his other name? A Pete Alonzo that literally said remember

279
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse after they lost, I'm out, I'm opting

280
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: out of my contract because I'm over this in Francisco

281
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: and there's just more interesting players. The Reds are just

282
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: like a young, fun team, Like they're good and they're young,

283
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: and they're exciting to watch, especially Elie Dela Cruz. But

284
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: the names don't draw you in yet because it's the

285
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: Reds and nobody expected them.

286
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: To be here.

287
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: The divisional series will, I think will be sold out,

288
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: especially in the markets like Seattle, YEP, like Milwaukee, like Toronto.

289
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 2: I think that you're going to see, so I'll never

290
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: get amount of I'm gonna give you a little. You

291
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: think it's going to be like that They've had success

292
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: but but.

293
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: Still underwhelming the last.

294
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: If they're playing the Dodgers.

295
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, then it'll be And that's what I'm thinking.

296
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so that that will be the case. Do

297
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: you think there's a big problem Jason, Like, do you

298
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: do you find the Dodgers fans leaving early outside of

299
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: the bullpen? In issue? Do you find Cleveland not drawing

300
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: as much as they did during the regular season in issue?

301
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: In baseball?

302
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

303
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 6: I do?

304
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

305
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 5: I think there also is a socioeconomic angle to this.

306
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: I think in the Detroit, Cleveland, these city, these kind

307
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 5: of Midwest cities, it's kind of rough. Who call her,

308
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: I guess you would call it have been struck and

309
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: kind economic bad times. Maybe we're holding them under a

310
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: different kind of barometer here because you know that Chicago's

311
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: gonna be full, LA should be full, New York should

312
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: be full. There are a lot of people, there are

313
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 5: a lot of people make a lot of money. I

314
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 5: do think that the solution that Manzi's might be searching

315
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: for is this is I also, and I think a

316
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: lot of people hate the fact that there are division

317
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 5: opponents in that wild card round. I don't think it's

318
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 5: fair to either team that you're going to play a

319
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: team for a three game series that you've already seen

320
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: eighteen times. I think that it's unfair to everybody, and

321
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: the fan base is included. So you just say, major

322
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 5: League Baseball says you can't play your own division in

323
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 5: the first round and lesser's extenuating circumstances and three teams

324
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: get in. How often do that? Does that happen? And

325
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: so in this case, what the Tigers would have played

326
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: the Yankees and the Red Sox would have played the Guardian, Right.

327
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if that would affect the box office

328
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: for if that's a different topic, But I think there

329
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 5: is a solution that Baseball could throw out there with

330
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: just certain caveats.

331
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: There's also so you'd rather see if you're a Yankees

332
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: a Red Sox fan, those teams play in the divisional

333
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: series or the league championship series. Right, There's there's there's

334
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: no there's no argument about that. But there's also a

335
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: point with Major League Baseball that says we'll take what

336
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: we can get because there's no guarantee that the Yankees

337
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: and Red Sox would win their series. And then so

338
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: now we're missing out. We just missed out on possibly

339
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: three games of Yankees Red Sox because we have zero

340
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: because one of the teams didn't win or neither of

341
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: the teams won. In looking for that, I understand what

342
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: you're talking about in fairness for these teams, But then

343
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: it's unfair for a higher seeded team, say the division winner,

344
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: to have to play against a better wild card team

345
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: just because you didn't want to, you know, I.

346
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 4: Mean, you still go, you still get your home field advantage.

347
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: So if you're the so so the Guardians and Tigers,

348
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: this would this would be the scenario that we laid out.

349
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 7: The Guardians would played so exactly exactly.

350
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: And the Tigers would have hosted The Yankees would.

351
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: Have hosted the Tigers, and the Tigers are still on

352
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 3: the road, so it doesn't change much for them.

353
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: Is that fair to Cleveland? You think that they would

354
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: rather face the Red Sox than the team that they've

355
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: played all season long?

356
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 3: I do, I do, especially because of their particular schedule

357
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 3: that ended playing against each other, Like, wouldn't you want

358
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: a break from that?

359
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: That's how the cookie crumbles matches in the NFL Week eighteen,

360
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: Week seventeen, that you gotta play him in the wild card.

361
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 4: The next think sure, yeah, yeah, life is on.

362
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 2: Fare latimistic that you just pocket the matchup that you

363
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: can again, because there's no guarantee the best series for clevel.

364
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: I mean, the Yankees are kind of the Yankees and

365
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 2: Dodgers are maybe they have this this I was going

366
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: to say, a bulletproof sort of thing where it's it's

367
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: not going to be a bad series when the Yankees

368
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: come to town. It's not going to be a bad

369
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: series when the Dodgers come to town. Like talking about

370
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: the Phillies. No disrespect to the Reds, but that's you know,

371
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: a scenario here. But how many how many opponents of

372
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: the Guardians can you have that you would think like,

373
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 2: all right, the crowd's really going to show up like

374
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: I thought it would be the Tigers, but apparently it's not.

375
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: By the way, Progressive Field, thirty four thousand, eight hundred

376
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: and thirty is the capacity, and so they got twenty

377
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: six that eight thousand empty seats or non sold tickets

378
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: in yesterday's game. I'm just I'm just saying like, if

379
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: you were to if you were to mess everything up

380
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 2: for the sake of just trying to protect certain teams,

381
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily fair to the other teams. And then

382
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily beneficial to some of those other teams

383
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: as well. So you got to kind of stick with

384
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: the standings.

385
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe it was just a wrong decision to extend.

386
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Play better, Dodgers, play better, Dodgers, get a bye, and

387
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 2: then we're not gonna go.

388
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know if that's any better.

389
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, keep done and you know, get a buye and

390
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: then not worry about it.

391
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 5: Can I speak to one thing that you said that

392
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 5: I hadn't even thought about. If you have a Yankees

393
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: ticket today, are you going? The brilliance in that question

394
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 5: is like, do you want to go to a game

395
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: where you're going to lose to your arch enemy? The

396
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 5: chance of losing to your arch enemy and how bad

397
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 5: you're going to feel? And Yankee fans tend to be pessimistic,

398
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 5: They tend to be what's a thoughtful whatever I'm called.

399
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: That would be a dreadful experience to go to that

400
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 5: game to see them lose tonight to the Red Sox.

401
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 2: Specifically, and if you were to go tonight, why wouldn't

402
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: you just go tomorrow?

403
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 8: Right?

404
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 7: You would wait for a game three absolutely, So if

405
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 7: you have to get off of work early because it's

406
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 7: what six o'clock Eastern time, the first pitch starts, you

407
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 7: make your plans, you.

408
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: Would do it for tomorrow absolutely because you would also say, well,

409
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: if they don't play tomorrow, then at least I didn't

410
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 2: go there and watch them lose. So that's the other

411
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: portion of this. When you have a three straight home games,

412
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 2: which I think is fine. I'm actually I'm fine with that.

413
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: I think it also gives the division winner at least

414
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: an advantage. Totally totally in that in that series. But

415
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: there's just not a lot of value when you drop

416
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: game one to buy a game two.

417
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: If we were to do what you know, Jason and

418
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: I want of making it that you cannot play a

419
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: division team for the wildcard, then that would put more

420
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: emphasis on winning the division and having the home field,

421
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: because I feel like now because of this edition of

422
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: the walld Cards, like some teams are like, hey, it's

423
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: fine if we don't want the division, we'll just get

424
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: in there anyway. Yeah, people have more emphasis on winning

425
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: the division.

426
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: You just said it that the Dodgers you weren't good

427
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: with the Buye, so maybe they're like, hey, let's play

428
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: some baseball and leading into the best of five. If

429
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: you're playing against the Phillies who are rested, and I.

430
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 3: Know you don't want to like plan like that, be like, no,

431
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: we should try, we should lose, lose this game, so

432
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: we don't. I know you don't want to do that,

433
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: but I just rest versus rust is a real thing.

434
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,520

Speaker 3: Doug Gottlieb Show.

447
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: I got into a little fender bender before the show.

448
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but that's all I'm gonna say about it.

449
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: That is advised by my attorneys, you.

450
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, and I'm his attorney, and Dan, I think

451
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 4: you have an argument here.

452
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: I will see, We'll see.

453
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: I think he does.

454
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you who doesn't have an argument, A J. Brown.

455
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: You know who else doesn't have an argument? Colin Cowhard, Monty.

456
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you this is this is the there's this

457
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: is not meant to be fill in hosts on Superstar,

458
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: Top of the Line, Hall of Fame, Talent Crime. But

459
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: Colin Cowherd said something earlier today on The Herd a

460
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: disagreement that he and Jason McIntyre had between each other.

461
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 2: Doug has a segment that in his podcast, and we've

462
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: had it on the show before. It's called what does

463
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: the Fox Say? We play a little intro and it

464
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: said it sounds like this. And now, so Colin Coward

465
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: said something about AJ Brown that just blew my mind

466
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: today after AJ Brown sent a cryptic tweet after the

467
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: Eagles win. After the Eagles win on Sunday against the Buccaneers,

468
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: nine targets, two receptions, seven yards. That was the stat

469
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 2: line for AJ Brown. This is Colin's take on AJ

470
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: Brown in his future in Philadelphia, and.

471
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 8: I had a disagreement on this. I said, you an accountant,

472
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 8: a judge, a novelist, an actor. In most careers you

473
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 8: got about twenty five years of prime and you can

474
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 8: work to your seventies. You can't as a pro football player.

475
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 8: And so AJ Brown and I do think winning matters,

476
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 8: but he's already got a trophy. I do think if

477
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 8: you went to Kobe and said let'sten, you get six

478
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 8: shots a game, Kobe would have been like, peace out,

479
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 8: I'm going to go somewhere else. AJ Brown gets fewer

480
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 8: yards than the third Buffalo Bills tight end. He's got

481
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 8: money and he's got a trophy. His legacy is on

482
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 8: the line. He's not necessary. They try to target him

483
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 8: nine targets seven yards most.

484
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 9: Of the time.

485
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 8: He's just not And I think if I was AJ Brown,

486
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 8: this sounds selfish, but I think pro athletes get cornered

487
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 8: into well, well it's about winning games. Well that's part

488
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 8: of it, and it's transformation money and there's legacies involved.

489
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: And my take is, if I was a J.

490
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 8: Brown, I'd go to Philadelphia and I'd say quietly, I'm

491
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 8: not gonna screw the market.

492
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 10: Up.

493
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna do a mellow with the Nuggets to

494
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 8: the Knicks. I don't want to be here. Make a deal.

495
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: I think A. J.

496
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 8: Brown has a right to leave. I am defending him

497
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 8: not staying with a better organization. Am I wrong?

498
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: Nine trillion percent? I don't know if it goes up

499
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: to nine trillion, but he is nine trillion percent wrong.

500
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: When in sports have we ever said, you know what,

501
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: screw the winning?

502
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 9: Never?

503
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 3: Not one?

504
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is about no, it's only about winning. That

505
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 4: is the whole point, Colin, what are you talking about? Also?

506
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: Also, also, since when is the legacy of AJ Brown

507
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: something to compare to the legacy of Kobe Bryant?

508
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: Never?

509
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 8: What?

510
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 4: Not even sort of? And actually I think if you

511
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 4: did tell.

512
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: Kobe, hey, you can only take six shots, but you're

513
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: gonna win, I think he'd be like, well, damn, because

514
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 3: Kobe did care about winning.

515
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: Kobe. Yeah, Kobe, I would say. Kobe is famous for saying,

516
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: you'd never go like one of twelve, He'd go one

517
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: of twenty. You just keep shooting. However, However, to your

518
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: point about Team USA and winning a gold medal, Kobe

519
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: had his role, took it upon himself as the leader

520
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: and that that was his role. Exactly to your point,

521
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: AJ Brown is not Kobe Bryant. AJ Brown On the

522
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: list of important Philadelphia Eagles, it may not be top five.

523
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: And the issue to me is it continues to be

524
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: AJ Brown.

525
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 10: Now.

526
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles playcate this sort of activity, so they're

527
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: on the hook for it. Monzie. Why would they get

528
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: rid of AJ Brown when they're the ones who have

529
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: been actually encouraging this by giving him a three year,

530
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: ninety six million dollar deal after he was reading a

531
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: book on the sidelines that was last year, but after

532
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: he sulked after only getting three catches in a playoff

533
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: win against the Giants. AJ Brown has always been about

534
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: AJ Brown and at no point has the Philadelphia Eagles

535
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: success ever depended upon a Jay Brown. And it's just

536
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: crazy for me to hear Colin say AJ Brown, who

537
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: now has a Super Bowl ring, should go and get

538
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: his When what about back to back? What about trying

539
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: to be a great wide receiver in that way? What

540
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: about coming up big in a playoff game? That's what's

541
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: ahead for AJ Brown. Him going having fifteen hundred yards

542
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: somewhere else is not going to change the legacy of

543
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: AJ Brown. He's not going into the Hall of Fame.

544
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: None of that is true. The fantasy world that Colin

545
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: thinks could be ahead for AJ Brown doesn't exist.

546
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really don't understand what Colin is defending. Like, okay,

547
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: let him leave. I think the Eagles would be like,

548
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: all right, buye thank you take your stuff, make sure buy.

549
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: And then the Eagles would continue and nothing would change.

550
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: You know who's got the you know who's got the

551
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: most probably bone to pick with all of this, because

552
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: you're right, nothing has nothing has changed with the Eagles

553
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: because they again, they courage this sort of behavior. But

554
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: how do you feel if you're Jalen Hurts that here's

555
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: this guy. We criticize Jalen Hurts enough enough with despite

556
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: the success that he has had, right, nine targets in

557
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: two catches for seven yards, we can look at that

558
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: and say, obviously they're just not on the same page.

559
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: When he gets three catches in a playoff game against

560
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: the Giants for only forty some yards and he's not happy,

561
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: we understand that's not a great game, but again, you

562
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: won the game. But these also, subliminally, Manzi are shots

563
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: at Jalen Hurts, like why aren't they on the same page.

564
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: You've been together now for multiple seasons and you can't

565
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: figure out a rhythm or a rapport like Matthew Stafford

566
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: and Pukainakua would not have a nine target, two reception

567
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: game like, It's just not going to happen. And every

568
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: time AJ Brown does this, it is an indirect shot

569
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: at Jalen Hurts. So if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, if

570
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 2: AJ Brown wants to do quiet stuff and trade them,

571
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: that's fine. Don't trade him so he can get his numbers,

572
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: trade them so he stops undermining your quarterback. That would

573
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 2: be the only reason that I would say to get

574
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 2: rid of AJ Brown, who right now hasn't necessarily been

575
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: the factor that the Eagles would have hoped when they

576
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: gave him a ninety six million dollar contract.

577
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: You know, I actually never thought of it that way,

578
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: that he was undermining Jalen Hurts, And you make excellent points.

579
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: You're right, that is probably what he's trying to do.

580
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: But I never thought of it that way because even

581
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: though Jalen Hurts gets criticized enough, you know what he does,

582
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: he does what he's asked when he needs to do it. So, yeah,

583
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: like he may not throw the ball, but I've seen

584
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: him damn take you down the field throwing the ball

585
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: when he needs to do I've seen him do it

586
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: a couple damn times. So it's like, it's not it's

587
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: not Jalen Hurts. Maybe it's you aj Brown because him

588
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: and Dallas Goddard seem to connect whenever he needs to whenever,

589
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: whenever he needs to, Dallas Goddard is.

590
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: There for him.

591
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: So it's just kind of like, yeah, but the Eagles

592
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: game isn't always to throw the ball because you have

593
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, you take one Barkley, but when he needs

594
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: to get you down field throwing the ball, he has.

595
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 8: Been doing that.

596
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: They're four, and oh they're a weird four and oh

597
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: yes they completely are. I wonder like if they if

598
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: they were functional, not dysfunctional, how dominant.

599
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: They would be this this team could be right.

600
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this is hours after beating the Buccaneers in

601
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: a road game, where again he had two catches for

602
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: seven yards on the nine targets. If you're not welcomed,

603
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: not listen to quietly withdraw, don't make a scene, shrug

604
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: your shoulders and be on your way. That's that's what

605
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: he posted. Posting a tweet like that is the exact

606
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: opposite of quietly withdrawing, not making a scene. And it's

607
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: not shrugging your shoulders and going on your way. You

608
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: are putting up a stink. The tweet is still up there,

609
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: four point two million views. For some reason, twelve thousand

610
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: people liked it. I have no idea what's wrong with

611
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: those twelve thousand people in Colin Coward. But man A J.

612
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: Brown just continues, there's the Eagles keep on winning this

613
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: so there's no way they can be like, see, look

614
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: at what he torpedoed.

615
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: But I think you also hit on something else that

616
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: maybe he realizes, like you are not even a top

617
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: five Eagle, Like he just wants to be talked about.

618
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: He wants to be the center of attention. He wants

619
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: to be the guy, and you are on a team

620
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: that yeah, you're you're not talked about and there's still

621
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: success despite you and your antics.

622
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how this works. You're you're right like

623
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: they somehow make this work. Jalen Hurts must have the

624
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: thickest skin of any quarterback in the NFL, because there's

625
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: just that it's bad enough to hear the outside noise

626
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: from from everybody else, But now they have to deal

627
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: with it within your locker room after you've won a

628
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: super Bowl.

629
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: How close do you think they're sitting next to each

630
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: other in my locker room?

631
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: But h well, you know what he does read a

632
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: book on the sidelines like that's look at that, Look

633
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: at that growth, look at that. That's that was on

634
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: the same page. I've never ever seen. I've seen more

635
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: hot dogs than books on sidelines of NFL games of

636
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: guys eating hot dogs and blowout games. Right, yes, there's

637
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: the Seahawks actually did it way back in the day

638
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: as well, like they were playing a preseason game against

639
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. I think they were eating hotdogs.

640
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: I've seen more tubed meat on the sidelines than I

641
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: have novels. But last year, when when aj Brown sits

642
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: on the bench and brings out a book, we have

643
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: people defending look at this growth, look at this mental strength.

644
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: There wasn't a bookmark in the book. Okay, there wasn't

645
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: like I left off on page two sixty eight, there

646
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: was none of that.

647
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 4: So how it's terrible reading while your team is playing?

648
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 4: How is that growth?

649
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: I understand I thought growth would be being there cheering

650
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: your teammates on being a good a good buddy when

651
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: they come on off the field.

652
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: Come on, man, not sitting there.

653
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: Well, Growth was in chapter twenty eight, which he hadn't

654
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: yet gotten to in that book that he was reading.

655
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: But hey, great job by Aj Brown to read a

656
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: book on the sideline.

657
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,560

Speaker 2: An they're not hearing it on the podcast. Was it

666
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: was that bias like go Cubs Go, Sam, you're surd

667
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: of the Cubs today? That's the Cubs. Yeah, that's like

668
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: their fight song, the Cubs. Who does that? Let's see you?

669
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 8: So?

670
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: I don't know who does it, but it's that that's

671
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: their song, Bri, what do we got today?

672
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 10: We got for better or worse?

673
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 9: For better or worse?

674
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: All right later honest?

675
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 10: Okay, so the best of three, five or seven games? Youies,

676
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 10: just in postseason? What do you guys prefer? Like, what's

677
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 10: better or worse?

678
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: Tell you what's worse? Three game series?

679
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 5: Ah?

680
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: Is that the worst?

681
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 9: You know?

682
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: I call I kind of like a three game series

683
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: because it's it's more quick, stressful, also stress just stressful.

684
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: In a three game series, the best team doesn't necessarily win,

685
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: and so I kind of like that.

686
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: You like the randomness, the true winner? Yes, you like

687
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: the flute? Damn it was bad enough. I felt like

688
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: when you had five game series compared to the seven

689
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: the people are like, these five games aren't enough in

690
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. Now you go to three, you have

691
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: a bad weekend. Yeah, like the Yankee season. On Sunday

692
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: they're playing for a division crown, and how by Wednesday

693
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: night this season could be over with.

694
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: I know I sound crazy too quick, but I do

695
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 4: like a wild Cards.

696
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: Three is the worst of all of them. Three three

697
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: is worse?

698
00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: All right, On to the next one.

699
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay?

700
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 10: Yankees versus Dodgers Which bullpen would you rather be dealing

701
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 10: with right now?

702
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 4: Neither neither, But if you had to, well, I'm gonna

703
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 4: take the Dodgers.

704
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: I would take the Dodgers just because as of late,

705
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 3: I know, yesterday, I know, I know it took like

706
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: a million pitches to get out of that Indian with

707
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 3: our three bullpen pitchers, and then Blake Trina came in

708
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 3: and looked.

709
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: Better, but it has I'll take the Dodgers because I

710
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 4: have to stay loyal.

711
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: At least they may be playing another day as opposed

712
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 2: to the Yankees as well.

713
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: This is true. This is true.

714
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 10: Okay, Brian Snicker and Bruce Boshee both have left their

715
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 10: managerial roles in the last few days. So between the

716
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 10: Rangers and the Braves, which organization would be better to go?

717
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 2: Kind of like join right now? Listen, summers are going

718
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: to be sweltering no matter where you go. But I've

719
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: always liked Atlanta as a city, so I think that

720
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: Atlanta is the better spot over Texas. There's stay has

721
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: zero character, not like the suburbian one in Atlanta has

722
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: tons of it. But I've heard good things. I haven't

723
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: been to either, but I think I'd rather just live

724
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: in Atlanta and live in Dallas or Arlington.

725
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 4: Sure worth, listen, I point take in, But based on

726
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: the rosters, I'm gonna.

727
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: Take the Braves roster over the Texas roster. I think

728
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: the Braves have a good team. The Braves have had

729
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 3: one of the worst records when it came to one

730
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: run games. They were like bottom three. So if they

731
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 3: would have won a few more of those one run

732
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 3: games that they lost, they probably would have been in

733
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I know the Texas the Rangers were also

734
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: fighting for it, but I like the Braves roster way better.

735
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 4: I would take the Braves.

736
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: Monty's talking stats. I'm just talking to Jai to live.

737
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: I'm like, who can I win with? Because I care

738
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 4: about winning. I'm like aj Brown.

739
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 10: I was waiting for like some Magic City references or

740
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 10: something in Atlanta or like something.

741
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: Now, no, I just give me that roster. All good, Okay?

742
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 10: Sports month wise, now we're entering October. October versus November.

743
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 10: Now the bat NBA is kind of coming back along

744
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 10: with college football kind of ramping up. Like what's kind

745
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 10: of better or worse between those two months.

746
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 3: October is way better because Halloween is also a bit

747
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: of it. I know people love Thanksgiving, but Halloween is

748
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: my jams. October is everything, everything comes back.

749
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: Give me November because I prefer college basketball over baseball,

750
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 2: so baseball exits, college basketball moves in. Give me November.

751
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 4: No, definitely October baseball.

752
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: Give me November rain over all of them all, any.

753
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 4: Guys for that's game time.

754
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 6: Game This is game time on The du Gotlieb Show.

755
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 6: Might get rain in October, but November rain. As a

756
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 6: Guns N' Roses song, It's a classic.
