20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: dot com. Did you bite those sleeves off? I am

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: wearing my sleeveless. Let them off Hartford Whaler's hoodie tonight

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: because it's the only sports team I can wear that.

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: I know.

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Nothing bad is gonna happen tonight because they don't exist anymore.

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the Carolina Hurricanes, but nothing bad can

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: happen to the Whalers tonight. I'm wearing it tonight. I

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: am okay.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: Remember, there may be a parallel universe that you haven't

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: figured out. You know, you haven't gone full peacemaker yet

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: to find that happy, blissful place where the Whalers are

31
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: still in existence. You just don't know that they might

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: be still losing in that alternate universe.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Not be this way. If Jason's a fan of them,

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: they're losing. It's tough. It's tough. And oh, by the way,

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: I do have to say this tonight, look big night.

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball playoffs underway. Will have the latest on

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: it's home run night at Chevezraviem. But we really the

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Yankees may be done because on social media the Jets

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: wish them good luck in this round against the Red Sox.

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: The Yankees are down one zip after tonight, the Jets

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: wishing you good luck. That's it, man, you have the

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,120

Speaker 1: out of here with a with a with a quick

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: sweep and it's gonna be over. And really, you want

46
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the Jets to come out against you, not for you.

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: That's kind of me. The if the Jets today go

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: Boston blank you. Oh hey, we feel pretty good. Nah, hey,

49
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: good luck the big good luck. Most they put out

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: on social media pictures of Judge and a. Yeah. Now,

51
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the Jets just screwed.

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: The Yankees saw that and just had to start laughing.

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure Walt did not find it funny. We'll have

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: to check in on your dad as the night goes on.

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: But I just want to remind you former White Sox

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: Ace Garrett Crochet getting it done?

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Is Crouch Mike? Okay, I mean he did do the

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: triple h Here's what I want to know. Here's what

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't want you to tell me. Seriously, can you

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: try White Sox fame. Don't mess around with me. Okay,

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: you're the worst team in baseball the last couple of years, Okay, worse?

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: How come every guy you trade go someplace and is good.

63
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: You would think that he would be good with the

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: what but yet every guy you get rid of, ah yeah,

65
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: well you never he was on it, didn't remember, he'd

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: every guy you get rid of is good elsewhere. So

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: you had the guys there. Now they just just couldn't

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: do it. They're like, what's up?

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't have a critical mass. I mean, this

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 3: guy wasn't wasn't bad in Chicago. I mean the fact

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: they couldn't win. He was six and twelve, but he

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: had a three five eight e RA. That's like one

73
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: and a half with another team. That's what I'm talking

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: about here, Like three five eight it's a great damn era.

75
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, But but if you have enough good players.

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: But we had enough good pitchers. There were several Chrissale

77
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: and Don and all these guys. They were good.

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: They were all in the playoff pitching in the playoffs.

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: The last couple of years, they show to play in

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They don't need the four's team removal. Like

81
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: your Jets play. Okay, all right, kind of siphons off

82
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: bit by bit, you know, like a half life of

83
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: some kind of element. No, here they go straight from

84
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: one team to the next. Hey, that guy's out the

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: White Sox last year.

86
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: What's it gonna do. He's gonna lead them to greatness.

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: It's coming and sure enough today eleven strikeouts in those

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: seven plus innings to roll through. I mean the games

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,679

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: to take a one game to none lead, they go

95

00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: get into something something pretty big about that last night,

120
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: I just want to say this. I'm really, really, really

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: looking forward to all the Yankee fans who had so

122
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: much to say yesterday about the Mets and making the

123
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: playoffs and Wan Sodo. I'm really looking forward to seeing

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: all the Yankee fans rationalizing and putting out think pieces

125
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: on social media site about how you know it's still

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: good that we went out and didn't get one Soto,

127
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and we got all these other guys. Yeah, all these

128
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: other guys that couldn't get a run across in the

129
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: ninth in and yeah, so glad you didn't get Soto.

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: I feel like Vincent Price and Thriller at the end

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: when he goes na, what the hell was that Vincent

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440

133
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It's the exact same laugh. That's the exact I had

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: to wait twenty four hours. No, the seventy two hours

135
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: is broken. I had to wait twenty four hours for

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: my revenge on Yankee fans. Oh you suck, you suck

137

Speaker 1: and that was really that was a really tough night.

156
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean really, bases loaded, nobody out in the Bronx

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: and Eraldus Chapman comes back to Yankees. They had seen this,

158
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: and you know the funny thing is watching people live

159
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: tweet this as it's going on. We've seen this playoff

160
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Chapman before in the Bronx. Yeah, we've seen it. Yeah,

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: we've seen it. Yeah, loads of bases and then bang

162
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: bang bang, the inning is over, game over, Yankees tearing

163
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: it going home. All of that. What you just said

164
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: there is completely irrelevant. Why is that over? The second

165
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: the Jets sent that tweet? That is true, but it

166
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: is fun seeing it play out then play out. Everything

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: else is fine. We knew they were gonna get out

168
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: of it. Now. Look, the one thing I'm gonna say

169
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: is this is that with one out in the ninth inning,

170
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: right to get to get to talk strategy here for

171
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: a second. I really am surprised there was no tag

172
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: up on the flyout to write, because you know, you

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: would probably get the run in. I can't believe the

174
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox through home, but you look, get this, it's

175
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: it's somewhat deep enough. And in theory, the right baseball

176
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: play by the Red Sox would be to throw it

177
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: to third base, sure right to keep that tying run

178
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: from getting to third. But instead you saw him throw home.

179
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: But the Yankees didn't send a runner. I thought for

180
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: sure they'll at least try to juice a run along

181
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: in that in that type of it. Not that it

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: mattered in the end, because you know, they didn't get

183
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: a hit at all, but I really thought, like, wow,

184
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: that was like, what's you know, it brings you more

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: to the whole Aaron Boone thing, you know, lifting a

186
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: freed who was pitching phenomenal, got to one hundred pitches,

187
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: Take him out, Take him out. Luke Weaver comes in,

188
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: gives it up right away. You know, I mean Suzuki

189
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: pinch hits and drives in a run. It's gone from

190
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: August get rid of Aaron Boone to the talk is quieted.

191
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Now it's get rid of him, get rid of him,

192
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: and I mean it. I mean you see tonight and

193
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: it's a big difference. You see what all the the

194
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: managers asked of their aces for today in the playoffs,

195
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: and they came through right. Schoobl was done right like school,

196
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: the Tigers win today. Scoobl walked in, he said, I

197
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: emptied the tech. He had one hundred miles an hour

198
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and that final inning when he was he thought, I'm

199
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna be done, and they said, yeah, we need you

200
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: want more inning. Okay, I'll go back out there. He

201
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: was up over one hundred pitches, right, Crochet was up

202
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifteen pitches, like free, who's pitching

203
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: a shutout? And we're gonna take out of the game

204
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: to go to the bullpen And all of a sudden,

205
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: look what happens man? I mean that that's just more

206
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: of the Aaron Boone, Like what is what is happening here?

207
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Like well, like well, all of a sudden they got

208
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and and like the free Wheeling Yankees

209
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: and the never and the Devil May Care Yankee. They're

210
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: gone now, they're going there one game from going home.

211
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: I just love that laugh.

212
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're a little too excited. I mean, they'll

213
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: at least still be able to say they made the playoffs.

214
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: I know, it doesn't really count for much if you

215
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: go home and you know, get swept out.

216
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: If they win as many games as the Mets, it

217
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter it really, but it doesn't matter. They still

218
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: get to hang a banner. They do, Benn for a

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: squeaking in. It's a squeaking in banner. I say, it's

220
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: very very small banner. They put up all the way

221
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: to the side even better.

222
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 3: But all of that to say, yeah, I mean he

223
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: was able to skate. And because they they made it

224
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, it gets you that stay of execution.

225
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: He and Cashman.

226
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: It pushes things away, especially when you when you start going, well,

227
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: we didn't re sign that guy, we didn't do that.

228
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: We don't have these issues. And look they especially when

229
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: it's the Mets right with when they can hold up

230
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: the giant sign like everybody else has the digital accounting

231
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: of how much money the Mets spent and well they

232
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: didn't even make it. So, I mean, we're we're on grave.

233
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: You know, it's gravy over here, which is you can

234
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: only live on that for so long.

235
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, some heavy gravy. There's no question. Wait wait

236
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: heavy gravy. I mean, I mean I made it. You

237
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: look at this and just say, oh boy, soda would

238
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: have been great in that last thing. I mean really,

239
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: that's the best part is that soda would have been

240
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: forgetting Again, all it's irrelevant if he was on the

241
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: team and he was up uh yeah, but still it's

242
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: fun to thinke Hi Stiff had some second the Jets

243
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: sent that tweet, it was over guilt by association? Does

244
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: your dad know this?

245
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

246
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to my dad. He's someone I know

247
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: I can't talk to until tomorrow. Like I can't because

248
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: I know exactly what he's gonna say. It's the bullpen's fault.

249
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: I always go, dad, when you lose two to one,

250
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: it's not the bullpen's fault. But tonight I'm like, no, yeah, no,

251
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: it kind of was. Yeah, no, no, was.

252
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: Freed was gonna be done shortly anyway, right, you could say,

253
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: all right, it was one hundred and they pull him, Well,

254
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 3: how much further is he going? He's only going six

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: at a third. Like, you still got a lot of

256
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: ballgame to finish off. So a good job by the

257
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: Red Sox hitters to extended bats and force into the bullpen.

258
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, this is a game where look

259
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: it's one game and you see this here and all

260
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: the and this is what I mean by by Yankee Nation. Now, like,

261
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: now get rid of Boontonet because you knew this was

262
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna come up. Because whatever decision that has made that

263
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: doesn't go the right way, it's always going to be

264
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: Boone's fault. Regardless of whether or not the decision was

265
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: right when you made it, you got it wrong. It's

266
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: like when you and I give out fantasy advice. It

267
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: was like, hey, here's the advice. Play Garrett Wilson because

268
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: the matchup is good and their number one cornerback is

269
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: out and they're sliding over a guy pro football thow,

270
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: he's the sixty fifth. All of that could come from.

271
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And then Garrett Wilson has a bad day and then like, oh,

272
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me, Why didn't you tell me

273
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: to play Jaylen Waddle instead? That's your fault. Like, Okay, no,

274
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: I got I got it wrong. But it doesn't mean

275
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: that the information at the time was erroneous. Right, it's

276
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: still good information now we gave you. It's like it

277
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. All it matters is that what the Yankees did,

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: whatever Aaron Boone does is wrong.

279
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 3: See, for the last twenty five years working in the

280
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Fantasy Realm, my job is to get you to do

281
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: what I say. Whether it actually happens or not doesn't matter.

282
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: I did my job. If I made a compelling enough

283
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: case for you to toggle your lineup to that player,

284
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 3: that's it. After that, it's on him.

285
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: To perform whatever Aaron Boone decides is wrong and not

286
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: having watch, Well, he didn't get kicked out, So I mean,

287
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: at least you got that going mm has killed the Yankees.

288
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: That's killed them. It's Carl and now Aaron Boon exit

289
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: out about a Fresco exit swollen down the Jason Smith

290
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Carman. Meanwhile, a home

291
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: run party going on at Chavez Ravine right now, Hunter

292
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: Green Red's Ace. Well, if you missed the beginning of

293
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: the game because you were in traffic, you missed Hunter Green.

294
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: He is out of the game. The Dodgers have tagged

295
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: him for five runs already. As they are batting in

296
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of the fourth inning, they lead the Reds

297
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: five nothing. Show Hey, o Tawny one hundred mile an

298
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: hour fastball exit vlo about one hundred and fifteen miles

299
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: an hour leading off the game with a home run,

300
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: Nanas it's a home run, Edmund. It has been some

301
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: kind of start to the playoffs for the Dodgers. Yeah, no, yeah,

302
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: he was was one hundred Jason, he died.

303
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it was good until he threw that wild

304
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: pitch and then put the next pitch on a tee.

305
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: So Dodgers lead the Reds now five nothing in the

306
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: fourth inning, final baseball game the night. We'll keep you

307
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,120

351
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: this game is just motoring along. Already in the top

352
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: of the fifth inning, Blake Snelling the Dodgers shutting out

353
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: the Reds five nothing. It has been a night where

354
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers came out right away, started hitting the ball

355
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: and haven't really stopped. Shoe Tani leading off with a

356
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: home run off one hundred mile an hour fastball from

357
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Green, and that's really where everything has gone for

358
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers since, right, you have to Oscar with a

359
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: home run, Edding with a home run. They go back

360
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: to back. Uh, Dodgers starting reminding everybody this is why

361
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: we're a big favorite, and the Reds reminding everybody, Oh,

362
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: this is why we squeaked in even though we lost

363
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: in the final day of the season.

364
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I made a couple of the bad, bad mistakes

365
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: from a one hundred gree It was funny. It was

366
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: right before we came on air, where I'm in the

367
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: back getting a cup of coffee talking to our guys,

368
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: Shay who's working hard editing with us tonight, and the

369
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: wild pitch goes to the back stops like all right,

370
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: they move up. It's like, all right, this next pitch

371
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: is going to be a problem, and sure enough, ta

372
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: Oscar turns on it, three run homer and and blows

373
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: the game wide open, So three huge mistakes, five to nothing,

374
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: your lead, snow cruising along five innings, pitch seven strikeouts,

375
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: just sixty pitches thus far, so we can avoid the

376
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: bullpen for at least an Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I

377
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: mean it's so far. I mean, look, it's been a

378
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: day of incredible starting pitching performances in Major League Baseball.

379
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 3: It's been some kind it's been some kind of day, which.

380
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: We'll get to.

381
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: That Cleveland game was no man Clubs Cubs and Padres

382
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: three to one final.

383
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: This game is right now. I'm not even sweating snow.

384
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: You know, you shouldn't be sweating snow sweat. You shouldn't

385
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: be sweating snow like his twelve start. You shouldn't get

386
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: one of his start ages you like three years.

387
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: Ah, you know what, just because he looks tired doesn't

388
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: mean it doesn't to you.

389
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: He's been up late playing video games. Okay, it's been

390
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: a big thing. Blake wings on him heavily. He has

391
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: never pitched for you. You don't understand it, No, no, I

392
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: I I'm well versed in the Blake Snell experience. How

393
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: because I've watched his career for the past few years.

394
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: He's never pitched for you. It doesn't mean rappy team. Dude,

395
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: you won the World Series because Kevin Cash decided I'm

396
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 1: taking him out of a game. That awesome. I'll tell

397
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: you this about Blake Snell Harmon. So I was thinking

398
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: about this, right, just seeing the type of pitcher he

399
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: is and what he's been able to do accomplished so

400
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: far in his career. He kind of I feel like

401
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: he's on the path of becoming the new Madison Bumgarner, right,

402
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: because bum Gardner wasn't so he was never really unbeatable

403
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: during the regular season. He was always very good, right,

404
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: he had that big five years that she.

405
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 3: Had a couple of years where he was Yeah, he

406
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: was went a couple yeah, week or two ago as

407
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 3: we were going through, like with the Kershaw finishing of

408
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: his career where we're talking about these kind of stretches

409
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: and in the regular season there was a three to

410
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: four year period where he was just insane. But then

411
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: it got reinvented as a postseason specialist, right.

412
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: And well, when you do what he did, what seven

413
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: innings in the final game of the World Series in

414
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen to win it, I mean, it's incredible, but

415
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: you know, same type of situation where look, you got

416
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: two left handed pitchers, both have a lot of attitude.

417
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Bumgarner which is always mad at everybody. Snell more of

418
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: a confidence in himself and seeing how yes, they perform

419
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: really well during the season, but whenever the stakes are

420
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: uped a bit, they have that little bit extra in

421
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: the tank. And Bumgardner clearly at you watch him throughout

422
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: his career, I don't know that I've seen a more

423
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: dominant postseason pitcher in my life than Bumgarner for that

424
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: six years. Like, yeah, I'm going all the way back

425
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: to the seventies when I'm watching bets go Okay, maybe

426
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Jim Palmer has a great game here, but I don't

427
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: know I've seen anybody more dominant in the postseason. And

428
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: I feel like Blake Snell is sort of on that

429
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: path where, yeah, really good during the regular season, not

430
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: as un eatable as you would think, but then he

431
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: gets the postseason and you see the games he puts

432
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: out there, and you go, man, this is amazing. Why

433
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: couldn'tkersch r this, Like, man, this is amazing watching Blake

434
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: Snell do this well.

435
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: Four and three for his career and ten starts, twelve

436
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: appearances three three three era kind of goes back to

437
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: that crochet season of last year of the six and twelve,

438
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 3: but you go back to his twenty nineteen run three

439
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 3: games appearing, he was zero win one but still had

440
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 3: an ERA of one six nine. It's got to like

441
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: it was Paul Skeins. But all of that to say,

442
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: working deeper into games and always the famous all right,

443
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: I'm cruising along, but I'm gonna be taken out. The

444
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: one time I think I really wanted the extended remix

445
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 3: to see a pitcher really want to fight his manager, right,

446
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: not just the the the thing he did with Dave

447
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: robertson I'm not coming out. That was fun, ye, So

448
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: but it owes to that that run Dodgers and Rays

449
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: when he's getting pulled out and has that wide eyed

450
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: look of am I in the right universe right now?

451
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean read that. That's kind of where I'm looking

452
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: at him, see, because now he's on the best team.

453
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 4: Right.

454
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: Snell goes to the Giants. They have a great team

455
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: for a good six year, right, every other year they

456
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: won the World Series. Right. Blake Snell has been on

457
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: good teams, but he's never been on an overwhelming favorite. Okay,

458
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: now here he is and so now for whatever his

459
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: career is for the Dodgers, still in his early thirties,

460
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: like this is where his next five or six years

461
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: you could say, man, Blake Snell is, I mean you

462
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: want him? I told you during regular season the end

463
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: of the regular season, he's got to have the ball

464
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: in Game one. He's got to have the ball as

465
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: many times as possible over every other Dodger pitcher. Yea'mamoto's terrific, right.

466
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Otani is Otani. Blake Snell needs the ball more than

467
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: anybody in any pitcher on the Dodgers roster throughout the playoff. Yeah,

468
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: he's also one of the guys.

469
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: I mean before the offseason commenced, till we started talking

470
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: about free agency and where guys would sign. It's not

471
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: a guy would have given a long term deal just

472
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: based on his history, right between injuries, disappearing in the

473
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: non Cy Young Award seasons, He's been a jag right that,

474
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 3: that's been his career. He's had a couple of massive seasons.

475
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 3: But then you have this deal where he comes forward

476
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: and these twelve games that he's pitched thus far, he's

477
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: been amazing. So finding the right stretch, because that's the

478
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: thing that for this Dodgers team. We talked about the

479
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: bullpen a lot is that you don't have a lot

480
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: of work from guys this year. So in theory, there's

481
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: still some gas.

482
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: In the tank. Right, it's not.

483
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: You only had a handful of guys actually get over

484
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: two hundred innings, which used to be the standard. But

485
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: but you got a Dodgers rotation where you don't have

486
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: anybody going over one hundred.

487
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Now, dude, you can get to one twenty. Yeah, Momoto,

488
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: and that's it. What a great season? Yet to one twenty? Now?

489
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: Am I missing somebody Frostburg on this list?

490
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 4: Yes, you're missing you said the most dominant pitchers in

491
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: the postseason?

492
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Right right?

493
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: Okay, so you went with Bumgardner, right, yep? Who am

494
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 4: missing any powers?

495
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes? And once he got his pitch back, Kenny Power,

496
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: he had to get his pitch back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

497
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: even the dude from the office hit him.

498
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: No, but for real, you left off and Andy Pennett's

499
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 4: probably one of the most dominant I've ever seen.

500
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: And Andy Pettitt is terrific. Penet's up and Andy Pettitt

501
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: is up there. But but bum Garner just raising his

502
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: his level of play so much as it's it's eye

503
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: popping what he was at really coming out of you know,

504
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: pitching on short rest all the time and coming in

505
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: in the bullpen like like that's that's the legend of Bumgarner.

506
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: And again it looks like Snow could be on that

507
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: same path.

508
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, the he who must not be named,

509
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: he's like Voltimore there would like a word.

510
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: The bloody suck. I got your favorite John Smoltz. Oh sure,

511
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Smoltz was great too. Smoltz was terrific too. But it's

512
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: but again, Braves didn't always wind. They got one, uh

513
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: they did, They got one. They got one, Yes, they

514
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: got one Dave Justice home run and that that decide

515
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: in Game seven. So we have more baseball coming up.

516
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: But to the day is, you know, today was a

517
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: great and a terrible day in that it was a

518
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: great day that for one league, four minutes is going

519
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: to change the course and trajectory of this league. The

520
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: bad part of it is that you needed to have

521
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: these four minutes earlier. Today. Nafisa Collier, who you know,

522
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: we thought was gonna win WNBA MVP this year, she

523
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: was a front runner for a long time, and then

524
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Asia Wilson the Aces you know, didn't lose all the

525
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: way through, and they're playing the fever right now in

526
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: a in a win or go home game in the playoffs.

527
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: Nafisa Collier decided to take all the frustrations that w

528
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: NBA players have had over the past couple of seasons

529
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: with Commissioner Kathy Engelbert and the league over officiating, which

530
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: they tell you all the time is terrible. There's consistent

531
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: complaining and the league not doing anything about it. Nafisa

532
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: Collier in a four minute I don't want to say

533
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: rant today because she came with a prepared statement in

534
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: four minutes is going to affect more change in this

535
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: league than anything we've seen in the last year and

536
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: a half. Here's a little bit of her talking about

537
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: how bad she feels, and other players weighing in saying yes, yes,

538
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. How bad the leadership of the WNBA

539
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: has been the last couple of years.

540
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 6: The real threat to our league isn't money. It isn't

541
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 6: ratings or even miss calls or even physical play. It's

542
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: the lack of accountability from the league office. Since I've

543
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 6: been in the league. You've heard the constant concerns about officiating,

544
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 6: and it has now reached levels of inconsistency that plague

545
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 6: our sport and undermined the integrity in which it operates.

546
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 6: Whether the league cares about the health of the players

547
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 6: is one thing, but to also not care about the

548
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 6: product we put on the floor is truly self sabotage.

549
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 7: Year of to year.

550
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 6: The only thing that remains consistent is the lack of

551
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 6: accountability from our leaders.

552
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: So there you go, starting off with a bang. Okay,

553
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: whoa lack of account o key. But we've seen this.

554
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: We've seen people talk about the front office and den

555
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: leadership and okay, so good start for this good cocist statement. Yeah,

556
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: and then she decides, now I'm bringing out the blowtorch here.

557
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: She is one of her any specific examples in this

558
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: four minutes four minutes of Kathy Engelbert and her lack

559
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: of WNBA leadership.

560
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 6: I'm concerned about the future of our sport. Everyone deserves

561
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 6: to hear the truth. We have the best players in

562
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 6: the world, we have the best fans in the world,

563
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: but right now we have the worst leadership in the world.

564
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 6: At unarrival, this past February, I sat a across from

565
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 6: Kathy and asked how she planned to address the officiating

566
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 6: issues in our league. Her response was, will only the

567
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: losers complain about the refs? I also asked how she

568
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 6: planned to fix the fact that players like Caitlin Angel

569
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 6: and Page, who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league,

570
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 6: are making so little for their first four years. Her

571
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: response was, Caitlyn should be grateful she makes sixty million

572
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 6: off the court, because without the platform that the WNBA

573
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 6: gives her, she wouldn't make anything. And in that same conversation,

574
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 6: she told me players should be on their knees thanking

575
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 6: they're lucky stars for the media right steal that I

576
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 6: got them. That's mentality driving our league from the top.

577
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 6: We go to battle every day to PreTect a shield

578
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 6: that doesn't value us. The league believes it succeeds despite

579
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 6: its players, not because of them.

580
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: That big blood, that's a big space balls, the flamethrower

581
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: blowtorch that Nefisa Collier pulled out on Kathy Engelbert. Okay,

582
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: now a couple of things. First of all, incredibly gutsy

583
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: to do this. I'm gonna come out and say this.

584
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: I know everybody is on the same page, but we're

585
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: sick of of of our leadership not taking us in

586
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: the right direction. And then the stories that she told

587
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: about Kathy Engelbert with this is what she said about

588
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, that she should be thanking everybody. Caitlyn Clark,

589
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: by the way, I think she had a thirty million

590
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: dollar deal with Nike before she played one minute of

591
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: the WNBA. One minute, one minute, you know, so you know,

592
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: it's not like she'd a WNBA to get thirty million dollars.

593
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: So uh. And that is still in anticipation, of course, yes,

594
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: But the big point here is that and and and again,

595
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: this is what the FISA cot to be fair. This

596
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: is what Nefisa Collier is saying. Kathy Engelbert told her

597
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: right now. We're waiting for whatever comeback there's going to be.

598
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: But it's irrelevant because this is the players saying we

599
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: have no confidence in our leadership. And the WNBA is

600
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: just the right size for the players to pull a

601
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: big power play here and get what they want, which

602
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: is more better leadership. And I've told her from the beginning,

603
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: what's been the problem the WNBA is going to face

604
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: being able to handle success, and they get handed Caitlin Clark,

605
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: they get handed Angel Reese, they get handed Page Beckers.

606
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: And still while they have incredible success, there's the bad storylines.

607
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: The officiating is bad. The players are unhappy. The players

608
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: are unhappy in a league that has had unquestioned and

609
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: an unmatched growth in the last eighteen months. She's gone.

610
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: Kathy Engelbert is gone. Whether it's whether it's a votive,

611
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: whether it's a vote to get her out, or she

612
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: says I'm sorry the players feel this way, there's gonna

613
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: be usure on her because this is how the players

614
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: feel and the players are the league. Now would this

615
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: work in the NBA and the NFL. Probably not. Those

616
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: leagues are too big to say, hey, we're upset with

617
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: our leader, but everybody's making money. We're not going to

618
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: vote out Roger Goodell. We're not going to vote out

619
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred. Look, the players, they all hate Rob Manford

620
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: to a person, but he's still the commissioner. He's got

621
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: too much sway. There's no way Kathy Engelbert has the

622
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: sway of the teams and the front offices and the owners.

623
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: When the players here, who are incredibly powerful, show you

624
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: that we have no confidence in our leadership. A change

625
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: has to be made because we just watched the last

626
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: eighteen months. They're the gang that couldn't shoot straight. It's like,

627
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: why are we doing Why aren't we just celebrating the

628
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: WNBA and talking about stuff on the court with Caitlyn

629
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: and Angels. No, they can't find a way around it.

630
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: And Kathy Engelbert, right or wrong is the commissioner. She

631
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: will be gone before the WNBA plays their next game

632
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: and there will be a new, bigger, higher profile basketball

633
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: person in place to help take the w u NBA

634
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: to their next level. Because the players nobody wants this.

635
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: They all want out, and they decided we are going

636
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: to take our empowerment and we're going to do this,

637
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: and she's gonna be gone.

638
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: My favorite of all the responses, and plenty of current

639
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: and former w NBA superstars have taken their turn on

640
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: social media to respond to this. Elena Deladon, two time MVP,

641
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 3: posted on our Instagram story quote, it's the care for

642
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: the human part of me. I'm not sure. I'm still

643
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: not sure if Kathy knows I retired. I heard everyone

644
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: but her.

645
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: Wow. Ten no notes Angel Reese that was my favorite.

646
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: That was my favorite, ten of ten not notes, I

647
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: have no notes note I put it up on no notes,

648
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: I have notes. I have no notes for that.

649
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: This was a perfect takedown in four minutes, all the

650
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: way through Lexi Hall, I think I agree with everything

651
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: she said.

652
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: And you just go on the.

653
00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: List of people that have chimed in WNBA response corporate

654
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: lawyer stuff as you would expect, right like no, no, no,

655
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: I didn't do that. I didn't say that, and that's

656
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: not how I feel. It's not right whatever that. If

657
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: that's the consensus of your players and especially your stars

658
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 3: seven year veteran and Collier who has a bit of

659
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: work with management right with what her husband does unrivaled

660
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: and all that other stuff, that there's some more conversations

661
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: to be had. The vote of no confidence will be

662
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: there because you're at a huge part of an intersection

663
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: of your sport right now. And certainly I understand folks

664
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 3: dismiss case like you know, they should learn to shoot

665
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: a layup whatever, No, no, the on court product, there's

666
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: still growth to be had there, right, the excellence of execution,

667
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: we've all watched it at times it's difficult, but that

668
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that you're still not in a place for

669
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: the league to make moves with regard to officiating, retraining,

670
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 3: re education, protecting your players, all of those things. They're

671
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: two things can be true and run in parallel with

672
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: one another. And right now you've got a commissioner's office

673
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: where you've got a full on revolt happening by all

674
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: your stars.

675
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: She's gone right before your finals. She's gone exit out

676
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: by the Fresco exit swalling down. We'll have more on

677
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: this story throughout the show tonight. This is an incredible

678
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: Story's going to change the course of the WNBA. But

679
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: right now, time to find out what's trending in the

680
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: wide world of sports. Someone who's been called the Kathy

681
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: Engelbert Fox Sports Radio. Ay, he's never called me on

682
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: the phone either. It's Steve to say he can come

683
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: back with a couple of eight Engelbert humperdinc lines.

684
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 7: Oh, very good, come half a comeback. As for the

685
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 7: WNBA's collective bargaining agreement, Yes, it expires at the end

686
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 7: of this season. Halftime in Game five of the best

687
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 7: of five semi final at Las Vegas tonight, aces up

688
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 7: on Indiana forty seven forty five, fourteen points for Asia

689
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 7: Wilson so far, Baseball Dodger's up six nothing on the

690
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 7: Reds top of the six and Blake Snell is dealing. Yeah,

691
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 7: he's been good and this is good. As for great

692
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 7: postseason performers, I think Trek Skouble might be on that list.

693
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 7: One day, he had fourteen strikeouts for the Tigers in

694
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 7: seven and two thirds. Detroit won its wildcard opener at Cleveland.

695
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 7: To start the day two to one, Detroit scored two

696
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 7: unearned runs. And as you were talking about Madison Bumgardner,

697
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 7: by the way, I looked up his career. His first

698
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 7: seven years sensational with the Giants. His last seven years,

699
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 7: he never had a winning record and earned over one

700
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars In those seven years. Mason Bumgardner was

701
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 7: never even top three in voting for a cy Young

702
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 7: Award in his career. Blake Snell has won a cy

703
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 7: Young in each league at this point, and tonight five

704
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 7: and a third he's allowed just one hit, eight strikeouts,

705
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 7: one walk against the Reds six nothing LA. It's now

706
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 7: two outs in the top of the six. This is

707
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 7: game one of the best of three. Hunter Green, LA

708
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 7: native was the starter for Cincinnati. He lasted three innings

709
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 7: three home runs allowed, including a leadoff shot to bright

710
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 7: Field by sho hey O tani Well. The Cubs beat

711
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 7: Sandy Yego at windy Wrigley Field three to one. The

712
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 7: wind was blowing in and the Cubs still hit back

713
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 7: to back homers in the fifth a s Suzuki and

714
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 7: Carson Kelly. Then Boston won at Yankee Stadium three to

715
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 7: one to open their wild Card series. The Yankees eight

716
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 7: game winning streak ends. The Yankees had bases loaded no

717
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 7: out's bottom of the ninth against Eraaldis Chapman, a former Yankee,

718
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 7: who then got strikeout, flyout and strike had to end it.

719
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 7: This was the first time that Chapman had allowed three

720
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 7: hits in an inning this season, and stunningly, stat Sink

721
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 7: says the Yankees tonight are the first team in the

722
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 7: history of the postseason to have bases loaded, nobody out

723
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 7: bottom of the ninth, not score a run and lose

724
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 7: the game. We have Game two's all coming up tomorrow.

725
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Well, if one Soto had gotten hit the ninth inning

726
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: instead of ah too, soon would have been a different

727
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: lineups certainly would have been.

728
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 7: If there's game threes needed in these best of threes

729
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 7: that would be Thursday, by the way, and then the

730
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 7: best of five division series all start this Saturday, including

731
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 7: the American League on Fox. Angels manager Ron Washington will

732
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 7: not return next season. Another strikeout for Blake Snell to

733
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 7: the bottom of the six six nothing LA, He's pitching

734
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,040

760
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,120

Speaker 3: This game now, the pitchers going deep into the game,

766
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,520
