Heeha, Well, the no 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: hitter is over. No Chavez ravine. Just moments after Steve 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: de Sager says, hey, no hitter boy, we got yeah, no, 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: no no, don't you know Byamamoto gave up a hit. However, 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: they get out of the inning without any run score, 15 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: so the Dodgers still lead the Diamondbacks one nothing. As 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: the Dodgers bat in the bottom of the seventh. I 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: think Steve was trying to save Amamoto's arm, given. 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: The spate of injuries afflicting the Los Angeles Dodgers at 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: this point, that the extra wear and tear on this 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: day here in mid May was not worth the extra pitches, 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: because he wasn't gonna probably wasn' gonna finish the game 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 3: unless you're not a bunch of one pitch out. 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: No, I disagree, though, this was a massive lifeline. Oh 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Jeffers gas and they stink. Yeah, I mean Key Hernandez 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: was warming up even though they had Dodgers had a 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: no hitter. I mean, it really just gave that pitching 27 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: staff life. Yeah, well I need it right, Well, no 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: question about its first time, first time in a week. 29 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: They didn't give up a run in the first inning 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: last Wednesday. Yeah, I mean it's been a week of 31 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: games where hey, we're behind in the first inning, we 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: come to back like that. You can't win many games 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: that way. 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: No, It's makes for a lot of excitement in terms 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: of comebacks, but certainly the pressure on the pitchers to 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: be perfect. When we're also talking like I said, I 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: mean we're already last year where they have nineteen different 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: starting pitchers. We're getting close to that already. Well No, yeah, yeah, 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: yeah tonight. I mean Greg Maddix had nothing on that. 40 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: No, No, I mean Bill, look at this point, Maddox, 41 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I think you can throw them a couple of innings. 42 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: I think I'd be going and getting him in Las Vegas. 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: Bring it back, Greg Maddicks can throw a couple of innings, 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: not many, but he could probably throw a couple of 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: d Yeah, just moving the ball around, going, man, this 46 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: guy's like sixty look at what he throws. Yeah, Maddix 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: can do it. 48 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: I want an extra paragraph plaque added to my resume 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: there for Cooperstown. 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: So we got more baseball coming up. At about twenty minutes. 51 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi stopping by the latest on Juan Soto. 52 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Is it doom and gloom for so? Does he hate 53 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: the Mets and wand out? We'll have more on that, 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: but it's all your fault. Big night in the NBA. Yes, 55 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: we had a night off yesterday from from the NHL 56 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: and the NBA, which we had tonight off from the NHL. 57 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: But we saw Game one of the Western Conference Finals 58 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: go to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Wow, 107 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: Malcahoma City is that Okay? All rights have moved up, 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: has moved up? The last few years. Okay, so fifteen 109 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: and twenty, how about that?

Oh so, just so, 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: going into the game tomorrow, we can already see who 113 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: is going to try to glom onto this series to 114 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: stay relevant, Shallom, just like he did with Shalaman, Shaman 115 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: has to show up. He shallowmy now. But just like 116 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: he did last year when he showed up saying, hey 117 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: remember me, the Boogeyman is back. Reggie Miller will be 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: calling this series Pacers Star, who, of course the forefront 119 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: of many Knicks PACER's playoff series of the past. Look 120 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Pacers playoff series. You'll get a 121 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: chance to look back at it. From the ninth all 122 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: the way through to last year. They've had some of 123 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the best playoff battles. They're synonymous with each other. I 124 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: think they've met seven times since the mid nine to the 125 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: last twenty five years, and some of the greatest moments 126 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: of all time. Obviously Reggie Miller eight points and nine seconds. 127 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: You know, his duel with Spike Lee and the choke 128 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: sign has become a big deal, and he's been hated 129 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: in New York since then. He's always been about you know, 130 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: his legend was made over that. 131 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 3: Uh So, the Knicks have an all time series lead 132 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: regular and postseason combined by two games, two playoff records 133 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 3: Pacers twenty six to twenty two in the last when 134 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: I think it's it's six and three, the pace five, 135 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: the Pace one. No eight times Pacers have won five, 136 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: the Knicks have won three in the last twenty some 137 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: odd years. Right, the Knicks won that series that Miller 138 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 3: had the eight points and nine seconds. But you know, 139 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: Reggie becomes synonymous with the Knicks. And now you know, 140 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: Reggie gone on to be a big broadcaster. And uh 141 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: he Cheryl Miller's he took a video today. I believe 142 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: it was in Central Park where he wanted to see 143 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: what the reaction of New York was going to be 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: because the Boogeyman is back again, as he's. 145 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: Gonna be doing the games. So here he was. Here's 146 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: some of Reggie's video, just him, just selfie video, people 147 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: walking around behind him and and this is Reggie Miller. 148 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: All right, we'll see what goes on now, Okay, I 149 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: live rent free in a lot of New Yorker's heads. So, yes, 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: they're still mad. But as you see, people are. 151 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 5: Just casually walking by, running by. No one's gonna say anything. 152 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 5: We'll see you first one. How you doing, my friend? 153 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir?

Reggie Miller says, I live rent 175 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: free and Knicks in Knicks fans heads. Okay, I see 176 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: that where because look, obviously he is in his playoff 177 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: performance is performance has is a part of NBA history, 178 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: right that the eight points and nine seconds, the going 179 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: out with Spike Lee, that's part of the fabric of 180 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: the NBA. Absolutely, But just stop, man, You wouldn't have 181 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: the career you have now if you didn't have your 182 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: rivalry with the Knicks, and you didn't have that moment 183 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: in the playoffs against the Knicks. If you score eight 184 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: points and nine seconds against the Pistons, or eight points 185 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: and nine seconds against the Wizards, or yet you're not 186 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: Reggie Millers right to say Wizards. You became Reggie Miller 187 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: and nice sharpshooter who's having a nice career. And now 188 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: suddenly you become, in Reggie's words last year, the boogeyman. 189 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Right what he has in his life now as a broadcaster, 190 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: long time broadcast people love it is because of the Knicks. 191 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: You owe everything you owe to the Knicks in that series, 192 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: and you're back and forth with Spike Lee. You owe 193 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: everything to that because honestly, there's not a lot of 194 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: room for a guy to be an NBA legend who 195 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: scored eighteen points a game. Because that's what Reggie Miller did, right, 196 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: eighteen points a game. He was a five time All Star. Right, 197 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: he played eighteen years. That means every three or four 198 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: years he was good enough to be an All Star. Right, 199 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: eighteen points per game over the course of his career, 200 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: that's what Reggie Miller averaged, right, being a Garden East 201 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: she didn't have a lot of room there, I know, 202 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: but still, if you're that great, right, But the fact 203 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: that he did this against the Knicks in the Garden 204 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: and Spike Lee, that's his career. His career as an 205 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: NBA star was made because of that. His career as 206 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: a broadcaster was made because there was interest in him. There. 207 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: He owes the Knicks what he has. So all this 208 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: all the Knicks live rent free him. Okay, I get 209 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: that part, but you should say, hey, but I gotta 210 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: thank you Knicks and Nick fans, because boy, I have 211 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: this life. I have I wouldn't have if I didn't 212 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: do that against you guys in you because it was different, 213 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: because of the way that unfolded. 214 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: No, that's a paragraph in the letter he has read 215 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: at his funeral. Okay, until that day, you hype the 216 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: hell out of this. 217 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: This is it, right, This. 218 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: Is why you're on the All seventy fifth anniversary team. 219 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: This is why you have all of these accolades. Is 220 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: that this has been built up WWE style for a 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: quarter century. 222 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 4: Right. 223 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: We talked about it with the joking about Seinfeld, right, Ah, 224 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: me and Reggie Miller and Spike Lee. We went to 225 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: a strip club, right, the Kramer line, all of those things. 226 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 3: When when Kramer was sitting courtside, it becomes stuff, a 227 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 3: pop culture legend. 228 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: And every year on the anniversary, it's like, can you 229 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: believe this happened? And anytime we see a collapse in 230 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the final minute two minutes of a game, you get 231 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: to pull that video and you get to show the 232 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: ineptitude of a squad trying to close something out and 233 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: one man's heroics. So for Reggie Miller, yeah, he's fully 234 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: recognizing it at every turn. But what's he gonna do? 235 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: He's gonna jab. He's gonna jab to say, hey, I'm 236 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: sitting there and buying Nicks fans, thanks for the life 237 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: I have. 238 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: No, he's not retiring once he's been retired and put 239 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 3: out the pasture, and nobody wants to put a microphone 240 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 3: in front of him anymore. And he's not able to 241 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: go and do a cameo video toatroll Knicks fans for 242 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: somebody's birthday and all of those things, and he sheds 243 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 3: this mortal coil. Sure there's gonna be a note that says, boy, 244 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: I couldn't have had the life I did without the Knicks. 245 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: But you're not. 246 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 3: Doing that now now because you need to keep fanning 247 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 3: the flames and in instigating you walk around Central Park. 248 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying it, recon It's good. I'm saying it now 249 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: because that's because. 250 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: That's what folks person. 251 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: He owes every He owes his entire career, his star power, 252 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: his reputation, his broadcasting career. He owes it all to 253 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: the new in your head. But I'm saying, but he said, 254 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: I live rent free in Knicks fans, and I get 255 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: that right because I think of the Reggie Miller eight 256 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: points and nine seconds, which is working. 257 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: You curse at him every time he shows up on 258 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 3: a monitor, particularly when it's one of these games right justin. 259 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we've watched it for eleven years. 260 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: Anytime it could be a December regular season game. 261 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: If Reggie Miller is anywhere near a Nick Pacers game, 262 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: even if he's sitting in the third row, you're cursing 263 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: at him. And he agitates the hell out of you. 264 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: If we put you on a heart monitor, him showing 265 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 3: up on the screen still agitates you all these years later, 266 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 3: and now he's proving it by doing this video. 267 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: Even though you weren't in Central Park, it sensed you. 268 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: I'd love to be in Central Park for that.

As you 489 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 4: point out, the Mets have managed just one run in 490 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 4: the first two games of the series, so a lot 491 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: of focus on the offense and especially on Juan Soto, who, 492 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 4: according to my Razor Sharp mathematical calculations, is less than 493 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 4: two percent of the way through a fifteen year contract. 494 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: Less than two percent, my friends, we are just getting started. 495 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: All right. So John Paul, what do you make of 496 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: what's gone on the last few days. Obviously they're not hustling. 497 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: Something documented the reports. He wanted to be a Yankee, 498 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: but he stayed with the Mets for his family. What 499 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: do you make people you've talked to, what are you 500 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: thinking in this? 501 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 4: Well? A couple things. 502 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 7: Number one that I think Carlos Mendoza, the manager's done 503 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 7: a very good job of handling this, because he did 504 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 7: not confirm or deny that he's already had the conversation 505 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 7: with Soto. 506 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 4: He acknowledged, which I think is the true human thing here, 507 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 4: that he's frustrated and whether he wanted to be a 508 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 4: Yankee and it didn't work out because of financial reasons 509 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 4: or the negotiations, or if it truly is as Michael 510 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 4: k reported, his extended family's wishes that tipped the scales, 511 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 4: which I hope for his sake that that was not 512 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: the case, but perhaps it was. And the reality is this, 513 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 4: we have seen a very recent example, very recent example 514 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 4: of a well known player who for months after leaving 515 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: his his original team, expressed remorse about the way the 516 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 4: things that played out, and yet somehow found his way 517 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 4: to contentment in his new place and is now an 518 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 4: icon with that team. And his name is Freddy Freeman. 519 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: So Juan Soto has to hope that his pass is 520 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 4: similar to Freddie Freeman in that regard, because that now 521 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 4: it's still different East Coast, West Coast, the intensity of 522 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 4: the rivalry. But what I think, and if I'm taking 523 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: a step back here, the emotional reaction of this past 524 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 4: weekend for Juan Soto. Last year, he spent everywhere he went, 525 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: everybody wanted to be his friend, right even when he 526 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 4: was on the road. Everybody was being especially gracious din 527 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 4: because he wanted them, because they wanted him to sign 528 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 4: with their team. He was the most popular person in baseball. Well, 529 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 4: then he goes to the Yankee Citium last weekend and 530 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 4: realizes he is no longer the most popular person in 531 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 4: the Bronx. There is no doubt about that. He is 532 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 4: not the most popular person there, and he's not really 533 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 4: playing that great. He's still playing well, but not rate 534 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 4: with the Mets. And I think that's the human side 535 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 4: of things that Carlos was talking about, that he's frustrated, 536 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: and you can understand that he's going to have to 537 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 4: find a way, guys, to reach some level of contentment 538 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: in his new place, because again, he is less than 539 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 4: two percent of the way in to a fifteen year contract, 540 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 4: and he's going to need to find a way to 541 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 4: either either love his new home or take some acting 542 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 4: lessons and make it seem that way because he's got 543 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: a long way to go, and there's gonna be a 544 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 4: lot of reporters and cameras watching every single movie makes 545 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: between now and then. 546 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you would have thought some of the 547 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: pressure would have been off because he would have been 548 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 3: asked constantly for getting things signed by Aaron Judge, so 549 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: at least that pressure was off JP. 550 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: So yes, yes, And I think along those lines with 551 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 4: the Judge relationship, I guess two things. Two things stand 552 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 4: out to me. Number one, the Yankees are Judges team, period, 553 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 4: full stop. They were his team last year, they would 554 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 4: have been his team this year even if Soda would 555 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: sign with them, and they're going to be Judge's team 556 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 4: for as long as his contract is in effect. And 557 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: he's the Ink. That's how big of a personality Aaron has, 558 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 4: and he does it in an understated way. He's just 559 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 4: he is just universally respected, honestly, in a way somewhat 560 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 4: similar to the way that Jeter was. There's just everybody 561 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: looks to him. And that is a lofty comparison, but 562 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 4: I think it's accurate. And maybe in retrospect, Soda realizes 563 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 4: how good he had it last year because you're playing 564 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 4: in the same lineup as one of the greatest players ever. 565 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: And also Judge is taking the mantle of the captain 566 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 4: and the person that the media goes to it and 567 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 4: absorbing all the attention. I think Soto might I'm saying, 568 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 4: Mike now be realizing how good he had it now 569 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 4: he's got it great with the Mets, and no one's 570 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 4: ever going to feel sorry for him with the contract, etc. 571 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 4: But it's just a little bit more complicated. Whose team 572 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: are the Mets. It's hard. It's hard to come in 573 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 4: and sign a contract like this and have it not 574 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 4: be your team. But if you were to ask Mets 575 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 4: fans who is the most beloved person in your heart 576 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 4: as a Met, who was the most popular player there, 577 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 4: you might say that it's Alonso because he's been a 578 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 4: Met forever. Lindora's really taken on this leadership role. And 579 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 4: then there's Soto who's kind of struggling right now by 580 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 4: his standards. It's a very complicated thing, and it wouldn't 581 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 4: surprise me if by actually seeing the Yankees up close 582 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 4: this weekend he says, you know what, things were a 583 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 4: little simpler, a little easier, and perhaps even a little 584 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 4: bit better last year. He's not going to say that, 585 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 4: of course, in front of the cameras, but the last 586 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 4: weekend might have put that into focus for him. 587 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. It was never going to be 588 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: his team in the Bronx because it's Aaron Judges team. 589 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit overrated. I look at 590 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: it this way. I think it's pretty simple. Great players 591 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: want to play well, and I can't believe that after 592 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: just two months in which the Mets are in first place, 593 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: they're not the Rockies. Not eight and forty right, I 594 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: mean there are a game and a half out of it. 595 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: They've been in first place. They're scuffling now, but it's May. 596 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: They're not ten games under their ten games over. So 597 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 1: the Mets are playing really well. They've welcomed him. I 598 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: can't believe he's miserable. I'm sure all of his glumness 599 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: is because he's not hitting. All great players want to hit, 600 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: John Paul. I think in six weeks it's gonna be bory. 601 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: Remember when that whole Wan Soda was miserable thing happened 602 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: like six weeks ago. Now he's hitting. He's too good 603 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: a player not to He will hit. He'll get used 604 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: to his surroundings. I'm not really worried. It's a hot 605 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: story now, but I think in six weeks, we're gonna say, Bory, 606 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: remember that, and it's gonna seem like it was four 607 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: years ago. 608 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 4: And it may well be the case again, just as 609 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 4: the Freddie Freeman wanted to be a brave story has 610 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 4: dissipated significantly when you really pull back. And oh, by 611 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 4: the way, the other slugger who had a lot of 612 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 4: storylines involving him this season in rap Faeld Devers who's 613 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 4: involved in this series, that whole storyline about first base 614 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: and everything else went away, even though he hasn't actually 615 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 4: moved first base. But he's hitting right. And the great 616 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 4: thing about baseball and in most sports is not always, 617 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 4: but a lot of the time when you perform, the 618 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 4: chatter goes away. And I think that's what has to 619 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 4: happen for Soto. He's just gonna have to perform back 620 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 4: to that standard. And all that being said, though, when 621 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 4: you look at his personality and the way that he 622 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 4: plays the game, I will say this, we have not 623 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 4: really seen him with the Sodo shuffle and being really 624 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 4: demonstrative and big smiles on the field, just human behavior 625 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 4: observing he doesn't quite seem to have that same level 626 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 4: of vigor and excitement around him. He just doesn't now. Again, 627 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 4: the numbers will eventually potentially bring that up and make 628 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 4: that a'll go away. But we're we're not seeing the 629 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 4: solo shuffle right now, and I think that's a very 630 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 4: interesting observation of his, of his brafts overall level of 631 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 4: happiness and excitement that he's seeling right now not being 632 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 4: quite what it was with the Yankees. 633 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: Jason Smiths Show with Me. Mike Harmon here from the 634 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios on the hotline with us our 635 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: body MLB Network, NHL Network. It's John Paul Morosi at 636 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: j O N M O r Osi on Twitter. Leave 637 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: out the h because Mom said so. Talking all things 638 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball as we do each week. So last 639 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: one for you JP. Dodgers losing streak, Scuffling pitching has 640 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: been an issue time and time again. Kershaw back Yamamoto 641 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: put the team on his shoulders tonight. Moves in the 642 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: off thing, do we see them get creative? What do 643 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: you think the next phase is here for this Dodger organization? 644 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 4: You know, Mike, it's an excellent question. I don't think 645 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 4: that now is the time to make moves, as difficult 646 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 4: as it may sound. At least with the pitching staff. 647 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 4: We've obviously seen them already move on from a couple 648 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 4: mainstays in Barnes and Taylor on the position player side. 649 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: But if you were to make a move for let's 650 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 4: just say Sandy Alkanta right now, which which I don't 651 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 4: think is going to happen anytime soon, but just hypothetically, 652 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 4: then what happens when Sasaki comes back, and glass Now 653 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 4: and Snell, assuming all of them come back, which I 654 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 4: think right now they're assuming that they will. There's just 655 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 4: there's too there'd be too much redundancy for you to 656 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 4: go out there and make a move right now. I 657 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 4: think you need more information. They're lucky, Mike in the 658 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 4: sense that the deadline is still far enough away that 659 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 4: by the time the deals actually have to get made, 660 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 4: go out and find your Jack Flaherty of twenty twenty 661 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 4: four on July thirtieth to thirty first, when you've got 662 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 4: a lot more informed about Sasaki and glass Now and Snell, 663 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 4: and you see how long Kershaw has been able to go. 664 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 4: I think that it was it worked out really well 665 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 4: for them that Kershaw was ready at a time when 666 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 4: they need him. And I think everybody realizes Kershaw is 667 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 4: not going to take the ball every fifth day for 668 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 4: the balance of the season that he will potentially likely 669 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 4: need some time on the eel again, just because of 670 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 4: how difficult this is on his body and on his 671 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 4: knee and on his toes. So no, there's a lot 672 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 4: going on with the Dodgers. But I think the answer 673 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 4: right now is you stay with your group. You're still 674 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 4: at the top of the division. If they all of 675 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 4: a sudden look up for they're five games back, then 676 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 4: I might give you a different answer. But the calendar 677 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 4: is on their side, the strength of their lineup is 678 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 4: on their side, and if if they were to make 679 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 4: any move, I might actually suggest the bullpen better than 680 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 4: the rotation because they've got a lot of issues back 681 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 4: there too. Yates on the il now Phillips and trying 682 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 4: in my goodness, there's just been a lot of attrition 683 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 4: already for the raigning World Series champs. 684 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, MLB Network Insider. He's 685 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: on the showcase Game of the Week tomorrow Boston and 686 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: New York. John Paul have fun.

The Pistons, by far, 691 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 4: bye far, We're the tougher team, the Celtics. The margin 692 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 4: of victory over the Celtics in Game six was was 693 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 4: twice the margin combined in the in the Knicks four 694 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 4: wins over the Piston. So lest we forget the Pistons 695 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 4: starting this next dynastic run in Detroit. 696 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: All right, that's good. Well we'll say that'll be next year, 697 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: John Paul, I'm worried about now, but next that's great. 698 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 699 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 4: All right, very good, all the best of the Doviknicks. 700 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: Enjoy the game tomorrow night.
