Speaker 3: He joins us on Mike Carmen, thanks for being with us,

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: being part of our extend. We did family and we

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: have the open that well gets us to the open.

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: The passing of Ozzy Osbourne's seventy six years old. I

20
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: was thinking back of seeing him back in all the

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: way in nineteen ninety one when I was a wee lad, Jared,

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: So you're in tonight where I'll probably just start singing

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: randomly in the middle of hot take nonsense, just because

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: of the influence the Prince of Darkness had just.

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: Make sure you turn the mic down because he tended

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: to scream.

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 5: Right, We don't want to blow out you know, any

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 5: any you know amps or anything you know.

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 6: A little too overmodulated.

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, once you get in that

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 5: red area, they get a little upset with you. But no,

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 5: it's this is the first time that I've done the

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 5: Jason Smith Show. It's a perfect name transition. You don't

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 5: even have to change the initials, like it's you know,

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 5: the Jay. I mean, you can literally just go right

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: into it. So no excited to be here with you, Mike.

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 5: We've done stuff before.

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: It's going to be a blast. Four hours should fly

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: by rook one.

40
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: So much going on, obviously, as we get ready for

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: the start of training camps, guys disappearing and head to

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: other states. We look at Michah Parsons responding to Jerry Jones. Now,

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: it's a nice dance. You decide what kind of temple

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: you want to go to. Maybe it's a mosh pit,

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: Maybe it's one of those things where guys start chasing

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: themselves in a circle and you just need to get

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: the hell out of there before bad things happen. Or

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 3: maybe it's a nice waltz. I don't know, but we'll

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: talk about that as we go. We'll talk about trying

50
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: to topple Chiefs Kingdom, whether you actually want to watch

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: the documentary series, and that's the collective. You out there

52
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: in radio land, get in with us at Jared Smith

53
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: bets on Twitter, at swallow Dome at Fox Sports Radio,

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: give us a piece of your mind. We'll talk a

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: little bit about the AFC wes, some curiosity, some signings

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: mixed therein as people try to navigate the Kansas City Chiefs.

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: Last year looked like the year to go get them

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: and lo and behold there they were still winners. But

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: you know, one of the things we're gonna lean into

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: a lot while you're here, Jared, is your acumen in

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: the betting analysis world and trying to read through the

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: tea leaves and cut through the noise as to how

63
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: to make you a winner at the window, and especially

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: when we look at the changing faces of college football

65
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: and such as to how we navigate those each year

66
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: as to stability and instability and chaos when we get

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: our preview magazines and none of the principals are still

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: on the team that they're listing with. So all of

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: that and and then some, and certainly in Major League Baseball.

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: Steve Disager and I celebrated a bit last night, rich

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: Hill forty five years old after it against the former team,

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: looked all right, right, I mean like it's forty five.

73
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: On the road, it wriglely against the Cubbies, who are

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: supposedly good.

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: I would say it did pretty well.

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 6: It's actually the probable. I like that the supposedly good.

77
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: So let's start there, seeing as I'm a card carrying Southside.

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 6: As you and I were talking a little bit before the.

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: Show, you know the World Series Championship that ESPN refuses

80
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: to recognize the two thousand and five White Sox. They

81
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: actually had a graphic last week talking about the Astros

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: with the four nil sweep. Yeah that's right. I got

83
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: Niel in because I've been watching way too much soccer.

84
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Another splendid Euro twenty twenty five piece today. But Major

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: League Baseball trying to find and navigate the beginning of

86
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: the second half. We got John Paul Morosi coming up

87
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: with us next hour. But on a day to day basis,

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, where where do you find it? I know

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 3: the nurfy is one of your favorite ways to go.

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: Did you find some value today?

91
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we hit one in Seattle just before we came on. Actually,

92
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: cal Rawly gave one a ride to two outs bases

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: empty bottom one Miserowski on the hill for the Brewers,

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: and it's actually a perfect lead in to the Cubs conversation.

95
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: But he gave one a ride out the center. But

96
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: Miserowski was in.

97
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: I mean, he's just throwing cheese like one oh one,

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: you know, the change up the curveballs like ninety miles

99
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: an hour.

100
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: He has an unbelievable extension and his velocity's been fantastic.

102
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 5: I mean, I know people didn't like he was in

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 5: the All Star Game, but it was an exhibition and

104
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: this kid's gonna be the next scheme, So I understood

105
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: why they did it. On the Cub side, that's the

106
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: problem is they don't have someone like Jacob Mizerowski. They

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 5: don't have a brand of woodrof coming back from injury.

108
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 5: Who's gonna give them innings and explosive innings at that.

109
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: I think their rotation is a little more pieced together

110
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 5: with veterans, right, Matthew Boyd, where's this coming from?

111
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: Show to Imanaga?

112
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 5: I think can be an ace, But then it's Jamison Tyone,

113
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: it's Colin Ray like it just it doesn't scare me

114
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 5: if I'm in a five or a seven game series,

115
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: if I'm facing Miserowski, Woodriff, Peralta, that scares like that's legit,

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: like that is a legit file. Like if you're facing

117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 5: the Dodgers in the NLDS in a five game series,

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 5: those three guys would scare me. So I think that's

119
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: where the Cubs have a problem. And you could still

120
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: bet the Browers a plus money to win the Central.

121
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: The market just continues to undervalue this team because they're

122
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: not sexy, but they just every year they just kind

123
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: of piece it together and then they call up guys

124
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 5: like Miserowski and then really the Woodroff coming back from

125
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 5: injury and pitching well, I think is kind of the

126
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 5: cherry on top because he he is a legitimate syn

127
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 5: candidate when he's one hundred percent.

128
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: So the Brewers have the momentum right now.

129
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: I think the Cubs kind of need a little bit

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: of a spark, and maybe facing Richel will.

131
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: Help, definitely the curiosity of watching over the next ten days.

132
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: What kind of action, if any, the Cubs make in

133
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: the trademarket. Currently they are minus one forty five bet

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: MGM and NL Central Odds Brewers at plus one oh five,

135
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: and then you get to the long shots of the

136
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: Cardinals at fifty to one, the Reds at sixty six

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: to one, and the Pirates just burn your money. So

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: all of that to say, we also should define nurfy

139
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: for those that are.

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: No runs for sinning.

141
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 5: Oh it's it's it's it's the most exciting bet and sports.

142
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: It's exhilarating.

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: And I know the first touchdown bets have been really

144
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 5: fun for a lot of people, but the first inning

145
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 5: bets are fantastic. I wouldn't go crazy with these because

146
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: you know, the ball could hit a pebble and go

147
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 5: in the center field and you lose. There's no time

148
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: horizon to make up the bet. Like if it's you know,

149
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: even the first touchdown that you might have a long

150
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: drive and it doesn't result in a touchdown. So I

151
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: think they're fun little I'll call them amplifiers to your.

152
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: Evening nuggets along the way, No question about keeping an

153
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: eye Major League Baseball. We'll get a little more from

154
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: Los Angeles a little bit later on as the Dodgers

155
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: and Twins get after it full slate. There you've got

156
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 3: WNBA action. I mentioned the Euro twenty twenty five, another

157
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: chaotic end to that game. As we get ready for

158
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: the well, they're in the Semis and the final will

159
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: be Sunday England and the Team of Destiny. It would

160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: appear with another late comeback on a suspect penalty that

161
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: was called with about two minutes remaining in extra time,

162
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: a save on the PK, but rebound and a score,

163
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: and there it is. There's your women's soccer. I know

164
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 3: a bunch of you are really mad at me right now.

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: I grab the entire sporting world and I hug it.

166
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: You don't like it, go watch, but listen to us,

167
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: because we'll make you smarter. Along the way, fun with

168
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: you as we just get started. For over forty years,

169
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: tire racks helping customers find the right tires for how,

170
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back

171
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

172
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: mobile tire installation, tirerac dot com, the way tire buying

173
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: should be. We're having fun right now with the wonderful

174
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: world of college football, Jared. As we look at media

175
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: days for all the commissioners and everybody having their speaking

176
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: points put out there, and as we expected Tony Petiti,

177
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: your new head of the Big Ten, he did exactly

178
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: what you would expect talking about automatic qualifiers. We're the

179
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: big bad bullies of the block. We deserve our four.

180
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: You don't like it, we don't care. I mean went

181
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: full Road Warriors to tie it back to the Ozzy

182
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: Osbourne Open as Ironman used to be the open for

183
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 3: the Road Warriors, and they run in and just starting.

184
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 6: All out of people.

185
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 3: That's kind of what we're looking at with Petiti and

186
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: company for the Big Ten and trying to show their

187
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: clout and keep this pushing forward to the Big Ten

188
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: and SEC kind of ruling the world.

189
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, and listen, I think everyone that is absorbing these

190
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 5: headlines over the next couple of weeks. Right, you had

191
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 5: the SEC stuff with Sankie and I you got a

192
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 5: tdat How awesome is it that it's in Vegas?

193
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: So I'm watching.

194
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 5: Reporters walk through the man like casino by slot machines

195
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: and crap stables, and then they're talking to college football athletes.

196
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 6: It's the new world order, right, It's awesome. I love it.

197
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, this is I'm convinced.

198
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 5: I read a lot of like, you know, the universe

199
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: type stuff, like we're in this cosmic void. Like it

200
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 5: kind of makes sense when you look at the state

201
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 5: of some of the sports world topics we talk about.

202
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: But you're gonna hear a lot of headlines and a

203
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 5: lot of it is just to get your attention. Because

204
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: it's July. We don't get a lot of access to

205
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 5: these teams. We get canned soundbites from the coaches and

206
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: the team captains that show up, and the commissioners get

207
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: a chance to put on their suit and tie and

208
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: go in front of the national audience and and you know,

209
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 5: go down their soapbox. And the writers are bored because

210
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 5: we haven't had games in months, and they want something

211
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 5: to write about. That's gonna grab your headline, you know,

212
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 5: it's gonna grab your attention. This college football playoff has

213
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: so many more iterations to legislate through that whatever Tony

214
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: Batiti says in July twenty twenty five is probably gonna

215
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 5: be irrelevant in July twenty six. So I'm trying not

216
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: to overreact to the formats and the different agendas that

217
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: these guys are pushing. I just want to sit back, observe,

218
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: let the process play out, and when we get word

219
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: on what is actually happening, then I'll have an opinion

220
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: on it.

221
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well of it. It's it's Jared. It's wait five minutes,

222
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: and the college landscape change.

223
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: One hundred percent right here, and it's gonna keep and

224
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 5: the goalposts are gonna keep getting.

225
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: Moved, right whether we keep getting more legislation that actually

226
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: gets into play with congressional intervention versus like I was watching,

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: Northwestern was a late cumber to the nil world. Today

228
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: they sunset the short lived process.

229
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 6: That they had.

230
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: We've watched, you know, the change as to how you

231
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: try to administrate things, the craziness of the Deloitte formula.

232
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: Plank and I talked about it a little bit last night,

233
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: of trying to figure out what fair market value is

234
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: and how inane that process will be enforce.

235
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 4: The city is the question that I cannot wrap my

236
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: head around.

237
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 6: But you know what I mean, it's city to city.

238
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,359
Speaker 6: And you can say, well, don't put together a formula.

239
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: It's like you and I, you know, as we go

240
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: through and you try to navigate, you try to put

241
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: you know, some fuzzy math together for rankings of a game,

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: of a player of fantasy projections whatever. You're trying to

243
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: figure out how big that coefficient is. And here it's

244
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: that same measure of all, right, how many X is

245
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: a handshake meet and greet photo op in Los Angeles

246
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: versus insert small town, Mississippi, right or city and everything else.

247
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: So so trying to really get your arms around that

248
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: is a yeoman's task and really foolhardy and a lot

249
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 3: of a lot of prospects. But I suppose you do

250
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: have to have some rules in place. Otherwise what you're

251
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: really just doing is setting it up to where everything

252
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 3: goes back below ground, like it's been swallowed up at

253
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: the end of a horror movie. It's like, yeah, that

254
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: went away for now, and and you know, we go

255
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: back to the original handshake agreements and and you know,

256
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: five dollars, you know, one hundred dollars handshakes, thousand dollars

257
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: handshakes in this case seven hundred thousand dollars tucked in

258
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: between the seats of a luxury car.

259
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: What it's crazy too, they're paying them with PayPal now,

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 5: like I mean, just like the way it's being done,

261
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: it's almost like it's like its own it's morphed into

262
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: its own entity that I don't think even the people

263
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 5: who created it a few years ago and really kind

264
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: of pushed it off the edge really believe that it

265
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 5: was going to take off in the way that it did.

266
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 4: And now it's more about.

267
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: How do we control how do we figure out the

268
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 5: toothpaste is out of the tube, how do we figure

269
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 5: out a way to keep it from you know, evaporating,

270
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: you know, and just completely overtaking the landscape before there's

271
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: really no like, there's no law and order with this.

272
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: It's crazy. It really is the wild West.

273
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: And maybe they're gonna start to rant it in, but

274
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's gonna be tough.

275
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing, right, you started out with his

276
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: wide open spaces, and now you're trying to, bit by

277
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: bit build the fences and bring it back in just

278
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: you know, for the twenty twenty five tax year, IRS

279
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: has returned the original form ten ninety nine k reporting

280
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: threshold back to twenty thousand dollars from the five thousand

281
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: it was last year. There you go for two hundred

282
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: transactions for goods and services paid through platforms like TurboTax,

283
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: c net and PayPal, and that's one to grow on.

284
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: So don't exceed the twenty thousand there, Jared is what

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: they're saying at Jared Smith Betts is where you find

286
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: him in the Twitter verse.

287
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: Find me over at Swallowen Home.

288
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: We're just getting warmed up tributes to Ozzy Osbourne over

289
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: the course of the night, his ties to the sporting universe,

290
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 3: which you've laid out a little bit as we go.

291

Speaker 3: We're underway in Los Angeles with the Dodgers and the Twins.

296
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: now the player said, allow me to retort. We'll do

00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: the Hotline talking all things trade, deadline and chaos in

319
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: between the white lines. It's our buddy John Paul Morosi,

Speaker 3: John Morosi on Twitter at Joen leave out the h

322
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: because Mom said so at j on Mr Osi, JP,

323
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: My good friend, how are you this evening?

324
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 7: By Ken Jared, I am outstanding, my friends. We are

325
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 7: nearing that one week mark away from the trade deadline,

326
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 7: one of my favorite weeks of the year, and we've

327
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 7: got Paull of Fame coming up this weekend. I'll be

328
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 7: there in Cooper'stown covering that induction ceremony. So, my friends,

329
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 7: I am in a great mood this evening.

330
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

331
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: Good to have you with us, so much to celebrate

332
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: and get ready for the speeches. Always bring it in.

333
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: Then we get those video montages of all the legends together.

334
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: Cooperstown very special place to be this time of year,

335
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: no question about it. But as we're talking here from

336
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, Justin Frosberg, our executive producer, wearing a Dodger

337
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: cap in the studio, thinking about Big Red Dustin May

338
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: taking photos after his one hundred pitch performance and relief

339
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: the show a TONI last night. What does he bring

340
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: in the trademarket? Is that a Jared durand move? What

341
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: are we talking here?

342
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 7: Good? Good question, I think May is a very interesting

343
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 7: player to talk about, and here's why he occupies a

344
00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 7: spot on the Dodger pitching staff that they can probably impon.

345
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 7: And yet his fit with another team is somewhat difficult

346
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 7: to find because he's on an expiring contract and I'm

347
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 7: not convinced that he is going to be good enough

348
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 7: to start games for another team in the playoffs. But

349
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 7: I'm going to give you one team that I think

350
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 7: does make some sense for Dustin May in a trade,

351
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 7: and that would be the Blue Jays. And here's why

352
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays want to add people who can start

353
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 7: but do not necessarily have to start, because they have

354
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 7: an aging Max Ers or in their rotation Eric Lauer,

355
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 7: someone who has not really always been a two hundred

356
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 7: inning type pitcher logging some serious workload right now for them.

357
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 7: And so I do think May would fit the Js

358
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 7: because he would give them some insurance if Surezer gets

359
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 7: hurt and he can pitch out of the bullet up needed,

360
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 7: he can pitch out of the rotation if needed. But

361
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 7: I think that's a bit of a softer landing right

362
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 7: now then the current role that he's got with the Dodgers,

363
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 7: And I do believe the Dodgers. They are looking for

364
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 7: upgrades all the way around, but I would actually say

365
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 7: this the most important part they could probably upgrade at

366
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 7: the moment. You'd have to say, is their bullpen. A

367
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: lot of injuries now the Tanner Scott News that the

368
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 7: irony is that actually the team they're playing right now

369
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 7: at Dodger Stadium, the Minnesota Twins. They've got some bullpen

370
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 7: pieces they can move because it looks like they're going

371
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 7: to be sellers at the deadline this year. So I

372
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 7: always love it when the teams all get together because

373
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 7: it wouldn't surprise me if maybe Andrew Freeman is talking

374
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 7: to Derek Falvey's counterpart there with the Twins about potentially

375
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 7: taking a look at someone like Johann Duran would really

376
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 7: help the Dodger bullpen. Griffin Jacks. Also potentially someone like Varlin.

377
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 7: So there are some good names that let's see what we're

378
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 7: gonna get a trade happening between the Dodgers and Twins

379
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 7: before they leave town the sweek.

380
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: How about that, JP, Where.

381
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 5: Do you draw the line of teams that are buyers

382
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 5: and sellers because we have this expanded playoff and there's

383
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 5: more gray area, like you mentioned, the Twins, they're only

384
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 5: four back of a wildcard spot, the Guardians a couple

385
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 5: games back of a wildcard spot. Like, these are teams

386
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: that are talked about as sellers, but they're obviously higher

387
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 5: up in the standings than your typical sellers are. Is

388
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 5: there this curve that we're grading buyers and sellers on

389
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 5: now because of the way that the playoff has expanded.

390
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 7: Well, you're hitting on a really key and important part

391
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 7: of the way that this deadline is being viewed by executives, Jared,

392
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 7: which is that it's not clear at all where that

393
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 7: line is. And part of this, and this is something

394
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 7: Jed Hoyer, the Cubs president of Baseball Operations, said over

395
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 7: the weekend, the teams are going to have to get creative,

396
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 7: and that's because they're not fitting in this binary sorting

397
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 7: of buyer seller, where you it might be a buyer

398
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 7: and a seller. I think that to put a finer

399
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 7: point on the question that you ask. The Rangers are

400
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 7: certainly buyers. They are a game and a half back,

401
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 7: They're a big market team, and they're in a situation

402
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 7: where they have to, I think keep going for it.

403
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 7: They've played better, They've got Jacob de ground. They've got

404
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 7: n Adi Valdi, they won the World Series two years ago.

405
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 7: They're going to go for it. I actually think the

406
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 7: team ahead of them, with the Rays, they might do

407
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 7: a little bit of buy and sell. Maybe they look

408
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 7: to trade someone like a Zach Lettel who's in an

409
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 7: expiring contract. And so the Padres are another team that

410
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 7: nominally are in it, but it wouldn't surprise me if

411
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 7: they end up moving a lateening leverage reliever, someone like

412
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: Robert Swatez or Jason Adam or then you look at

413
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 7: their rotation, someone like potentially a Dylan Ce. So I

414
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 7: look at this, Jared as I know you know hoops

415
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 7: as well. It's almost like it may have the feel

416
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 7: of an NBA trade deadline, where more need for need

417
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 7: and swapping contracts here and there. Being mindful of where

418
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 7: teams are with respect to the luxury tech threshold. I

419
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 7: think we're gonna have one of those deadlines where you're right,

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 7: may Jaron Duran, Maybe that's an interesting idea. There's a

421
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 7: lot of player for player, major leaguer for major leaguer

422
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 7: type trades, even the Yankees with Ben Rice, Is there

423
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 7: a team that really values him and would put him

424
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 7: in the field every single day, and it might be

425
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 7: able to give the Yankees a starting pitcher, someone like

426
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 7: potentially the Pittsburgh Pirates with a Mitchkeller. So there's a

427
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 7: lot of different ideas out there that I think trading

428
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 7: younger major leaguers has never been a more plausible path

429
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 7: to upgrading your team.

430
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: So we're looking at the Let's stay in the Al

431
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: East for a minute. I do a lot of talking

432
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: and while talking off the ledge my friends there in Baltimore,

433
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: Cedric Rollins on the expiring contract, a lot of young

434
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: players that have underperformed like this is the first for

435
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: as long as I can.

436
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 2: Remember JP he had true expectations.

437
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 6: For this squad.

438
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: It's been an absolute disaster. How much are they moving

439
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: away from some of these players here.

440
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 7: At the deadline, Well, I think they're gonna have to

441
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 7: and listen that they've had some there have been some

442
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 7: positive stories with this team. Interestingly, one of their better players,

443
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 7: at least against left handed pitching, has been Ramon Loreano,

444
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 7: who actually you would imagine is probably going to be available.

445
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 7: He's someone that I think has had a very underrated

446
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 7: major league career. He's you've got a career seven to

447
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 7: sixty ops. He's on a short term contract, he I

448
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 7: think has a lot of value. I do think Cedric

449
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: Mullens could have value too, but Mullens his batting average

450
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 7: now is two thirteen. He's a very versatile player, but

451
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 7: he hasn't really been that effective at the plate since

452
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 7: maybe the end of April early May. I do think

453
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 7: that someone like a Ryan O'Hearn could be a possibility

454
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 7: for the Orioles in a trade to send him out,

455
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 7: maybe some of their bullpen as well, But this is

456
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 7: a team that's not going to go for the major overhaul,

457
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 7: like do not look for a Jordan Westburg to be

458
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 7: out there, Gunner Henderson or a Jackson Holiday. Honestly, they

459
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 7: probably should have traded somebody last year to get Trek

460
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 7: Scubel from Detroit, and they didn't do it. So I

461
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 7: think that's probably the deadline that they're regretting is the

462
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 7: way things played out in July of twenty twenty four.

463
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 7: But I think for right now they have no choice

464
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 7: but to listen and potentially move guys like o'hearne, Mullins, Loreano,

465
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 7: maybe some relievers, and then hope that they have a

466
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 7: better situation and a better, a better overall approach to

467
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 7: the season. In twenty twenty six, I.

468
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 5: Remember the Brewers were in first place one year and

469
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 5: they traded Josh Hater. They're in first place again, although

470
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: we might not have that tonight because it looks like

471
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 5: they're losing this game, but there's still time left in

472
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: Chicago won. But they're a first place team, and they're

473
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: always kind of straddling the line between buyers and sell

474
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 5: there is probably because of the ownership group and just

475
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 5: the way that their team is structured.

476
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: What do you make of this Brewer story?

477
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 5: Misserowski's an ace, but he's only pitching four innings a night,

478
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 5: and now you get what'd you have coming back?

479
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: Per Alta.

480
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a team that has a rotation

481
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: that can win right now. But it just I don't

482
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: know where they feel. If they're buyers are sellers.

483
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a great question. I mean, they're they're definitely buyers.

484
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 7: It's just a question of how aggressively they buy. They

485
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 7: might they might go with some marginal upgrades. But they're

486
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 7: a really good team as they are right now, as

487
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 7: you point out, entering tonight with the best record in

488
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 7: the NL. I love their youth. I love the way

489
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 7: they play the game, a lot of energy. I think

490
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 7: that maybe adding one more outfield bat, or maybe a

491
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 7: righty bat to kind of give them a little bit

492
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 7: of balance out there to help yellows take a day

493
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 7: off here and there. But I just I love their athleticism.

494
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 7: And the pitching has gotten some medlines because of Mazerowski.

495
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 7: Chad Patrick as a rookie, has pitched really well. Peralta

496
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 7: has had a pretty solid season two. Their bullpen is

497
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 7: almost always one of the better bullpens in baseball, even

498
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 7: though the names change there quite frequently. But I just

499
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 7: like the way that their their youth has performed, and

500
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 7: Jackson Curio is now able to bat a little higher

501
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 7: in the lineup. They do miss South Freelick right now

502
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 7: out with injury, but their their bottom half bottom the

503
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 7: bottom half of the lineup. They don't necessarily get tons

504
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 7: of thump from that part of the lineup, but they've

505
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 7: got really good baseball players there who who can play

506
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 7: small ball when it's needed. And this is a team

507
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 7: that that when you overperform by this amount, yes, you

508
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 7: could certainly say that, yeah, let's add in someone like

509
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 7: a like a Ryan O'Hearn from from Baltimore and maybe

510
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 7: a bat in general. But the chemistry of this group

511
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 7: is so good and their manager, Pat Murphy is so

512
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 7: excellent reading his guys that I would be very reluctant

513
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 7: to change out too many guys, especially in the everyday club,

514
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 7: because they seem to be relying on each other and

515
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 7: helping each other perform at the highest level to where

516
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 7: this does not feel like it's a team that needs

517
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 7: to shake up. I don't think they're gonna be making

518
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 7: a deal going out like with Josh Hater that type

519
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 7: of a move with this group, but I do think

520
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 7: they might. They might add by just not subtracting in

521
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 7: that sense and just letting this young group with guys

522
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 7: like Terrang and Freelick once he's healthy, just keep growing

523
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 7: into being one of the better young groups of players

524
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 7: in all of baseball.

525
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 3: John Paul Morosi, our guest Major League MLB Network with

526
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: us here, Jason Smithshaw with Mike Harmen Jared Smith in

527
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: for Jason here on Fox Sports Radio. Would be remiss

528
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: if I didn't note that this was the latest the

529
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 3: Brewers were in first place since the Harvey Wallbangers squad

530
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: of nineteen eighty two.

531
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: Wow, So they're all about that.

532
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 6: So there's your random knowledge.

533
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: Let's stay in division because you know, I'm a White

534
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 3: Sox apologist and the Cubs hater. So it's kind of

535
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: fun to see Andrew Vaughan become the lucky charm there

536
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: for the Brewers as well, with what he's been doing

537
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: since he couldn't hit for the White Sox, finding new

538
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: lease on life there with the Brewers. But the Cubs,

539
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 3: Jared and I were talking a little bit earlier on

540
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 3: a JP an imperfect pitching staff.

541
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: What do they do?

542
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: Can they go find that arm at the deadline? Are

543
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 3: there enough arms to go around for need?

544
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 7: I think there are? And there are some controllable guys,

545
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 7: whether it's Mitch Keller with Pittsburgh, maybe even a Mackenzie

546
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: Gore with Washington. I don't think that Jill Ryan's going anywhere,

547
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 7: but he's a name to watch, so that there are

548
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 7: those controllable guys. Sandiel Contaa you had mentioned as well

549
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 7: with the Marlins. Edward Cabrera is another name to watch.

550
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 7: And then on the opposite side of things, the rental

551
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 7: guys Seth Lugo, who's going to pitch tomorrow at Wrigley.

552
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 7: My favorite theory, Mike is that the Cubs decide they

553
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 7: don't want to have to face Lugo tomorrow and just

554
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 7: trade for him before the game starts instead, and then

555
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 7: maybe he even pitches for the Cubs. I mean, hey,

556
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 7: we saw Rich Hill start a game for the Royals

557
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 7: tonight at Wrigley, So I think that we're just going

558
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: to keep going for more and more historic things that

559
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 7: might happen. So let's let's have a seth Lugo trade

560
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 7: between those two teams who are at the stadium, happening

561
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 7: all in real time. But there are enough of the

562
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 7: rental pipes who I think would make an impact. I

563
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 7: look at the Diamondbacks as being a really good fit,

564
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 7: whether it's Zach Gallon, Merrill Kelly. There are some guys

565
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 7: who are out there, and I know I referenced earlier

566
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 7: Zach Lettel with the Rays. There's more rental starters and

567
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 7: more short term starters in general, who I think are

568
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 7: out there and good options. Adrian Hauser with the White Sox.

569
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 7: You talked about him before. There are guys out there

570
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 7: where I think there's plenty of pitching to go around.

571
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 7: I do believe the prices will come down, and I'm

572
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 7: a firm believer we're gonna have one of our more

573
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 7: aggressive and active trade deadlines that we had a long

574
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 7: time as we get towards July thirty and thirty one,

575
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 7: So keep keep refreshing those those X feeds and keep

576
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 7: watching them. Will be network because we've got a lot

577
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 7: of a lot of moves to sort through here in

578
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 7: the next week.

579
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: To come, plenty of moves to sort through, and certainly

580
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: the pageantry and pomp and circumstance that is Cooperstown, our

581
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: guy John Paul Morosi will be there for all of it.

582
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: It's just too bad we don't have Dave Parker and

583
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 3: Dick Allen to speak for themselves this week.

584
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 7: Yes, no, you're right, and I'm glad you mentioned both

585
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 7: of them, because it's our goal with our coverage to

586
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 7: make sure that certainly and the two who are going

587
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 7: in posthumously in Dick Allen and Dave Parker, we got

588
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 7: to make sure that we give them in their careers

589
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 7: equal time and let them really let their families have

590
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 7: their moment right, and their teammates and appreciate it. So

591
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 7: I know the pirates are going to be there and

592
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 7: in full force for Dave Parker and sort of the

593
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 7: Reds we'll have a presence there too, I'm sure. And

594
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 7: then with Dick Allen, the Phillies and the White Sox,

595
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 7: the organizations he did so much for, and Thetillies have

596
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 7: really taken the leadership role of retiring his number before

597
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 7: he passed away, and really understanding the impact of Dick Allen.

598
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 7: I'm actually reading his memoir right now. Just a fascinating

599
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: person on so many levels, and it's our honor to

600
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 7: be able to tell that story this weekend and.

601
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: One of the greatest sports illustrated covers of all time.

602
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: As he's juggling baseballs and smoking a cigarette while wearing

603
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: a resplendent red White Sox.

604
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 7: He is the epitome of cool and always will be.

605
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 7: There is just no I mean, some of the quotes

606
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 7: in that book, I will not repeat them on the air,

607
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 7: but they are they with you. So that's all I

608
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 7: can say is I would recommend you pick up a

609
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 7: copy and then give it a read. That The book

610
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 7: is entitled Crash, So the Dick Allen Memoir and a

611
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: lot of the things you'll see in here this Weekend

612
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 7: I'm sure it will make a lot more sense once.

613
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: You read that book, The Super Sounds of the seventies,

614
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: as told by Dick Allen at Dave Parker Stories for Days.

615
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: Well enjoy at JP.

616
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: We appreciate to spend in a few minutes with us,

617
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: Safe travels and enjoy the festivities.

618
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 6: Can't wait to hear all about it.

619
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 7: Always enjoy catching out my friends. Great to meet you

620
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 7: Jared on the air. Look forward hopefully staying in touch

621
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,640

Speaker 3: over the course of the weekend. Now it's time to

627
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: turn it over to our guy, a Hall of famer

628
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 3: in his own right, a legend, Steve Desager, for an

629
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: update of what's going on.

630
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 6: What's going on, Steve, there has been no vote on that.

631
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: You may vote it twice.

632
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 6: I'm fortunate too.

633
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 8: That's right, that's right, and all your dead relatives are voting.

634
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 6: Any of them, no question about it. Get out the vote.

635
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 8: You mentioned the Brewers. The last time they had baseball's

636
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 8: best record this late in the season, it was nineteen

637
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 8: eighty two. They're sixty and forty right now, but they're

638
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 8: trailing going to the eighth of Seattle one nothing because

639
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 8: Cal Rawly has hit his thirty ninth.

640
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: Home run of the season.

641
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 8: Logan Gilbert the Seattle starter, with ten strikeouts in six

642
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 8: and a third. The Dodgers have tied it up three

643
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320

644
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 8: the fifth, Andy Paye is a three run homer. That's

645
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 8: about it for the start of Yoshinobu Yamamoto one hundred

646
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 8: and one pitches in his five innings, gave up three

647
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 8: runs but only one urn. The Dodger defense has been

648
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 8: nothing to write home about this year, especially recently. Bottom

649
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 8: of the seventh at Arizona, Diamondbacks ahead won nothing against

650
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 8: the Astros and from Berveldez everything else's final wins for

00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 8: Rich Hill six nothing in his Royal's debut. Hill age

656
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 8: forty five, allowed just one earned run in his five

657
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 8: innings of work. The Giants ended a six game losing

658
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 8: streak with a nine to nothing win at Atlanta. Yankees

659
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,760

Speaker 8: top of the ninth by Ben rice Off closer Jeff Hoffman.

661
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 8: The Blue Jays first in the Al East, three games

662
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 8: over the Yanks. Now in the NLS, the Phillies are

663
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 8: still a half game over the Mets. Bills and Mets

664
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 8: each one. Tonight, Miami beat the Padres four to three.

665
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 8: Wins for Washington and Cleveland. The Washington Commander's star wide

666
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 8: receiver Terry McLaurin did not report to training camp today

667
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 8: seeking a new contract. He's entering the final year of

668
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 8: his current deal. Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson did not

Speaker 8: restrictions after his shoulder injury. The Dolphins cut back up

675
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 8: quarterback Brett Rippon. Most NFL teams had their veterans report

676
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 8: to training camp today. The preseason schedule starts with Chargers

677
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 8: Lions in the Hall of Fame Game July thirty, first,

678
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 8: not that far away. Those teams veterans had already reported.

679
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 8: In the WNBA New York home beat Indiana ninety eight

680
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,600

Speaker 8: the Fever. Caitlin Clark out again with a groin injury.

682
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 8: Her team is twelve and twelve. She has missed exactly

683
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 8: half of her team's games due to injury this summer,

684
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 8: Minnesota and LA with victories. And by the way, the

685
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 8: ratings are out for last Saturday night's WNBA All Star

686
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 8: Game under two point two million viewers on ABC plus streaming.

687
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 8: If you look at a list of the ten most

688
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 8: watch games this season in the WNBA, there's the All

689
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 8: Star Game, eight Indiana Fever games, and one from the opening.

690
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: Saturday that did not involve Indiana.

691
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 8: But golf got better viewing, better ratings, and that was

692
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 8: viewing at nine am Eastern time. This past weekend, the

693
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 8: Saturday Sunday golf coverage of the British Open average three

694
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 8: point six million viewers.

695
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: Back to you, a lot of folks staying up after

696
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: coming home from the bars. It would seem watching that

697
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 3: early coverage, no question.

698
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, start at ten pm for us out here.

699
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's your random factoid because I'm a nerd. There's

700
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: a new tops product coming out at Baseball Cards and

701
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 3: they they've done a thing the last couple of years

702
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 3: with MVP buybacks, so you get twenty dollars trade in

703
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: at your local card shop if you have the base

704
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: card of the MVP. They did not include cal Raley

705
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: on the base checklist. Yeah last year. They might want

706
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 3: to amend that, although we'll see if they have well,

707
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: but we'll see if they have to do a Hey,

708
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: this guy's cards count because there is no Rally on

709
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 3: the checklist. Very crazy thirty ninth home run tonight, as

710
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 3: Steve gave you.

711
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Steve.

712
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 3: As we continue on, we referenced him earlier in the program,

713
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 3: and why not, I'm a glutton for punishment. When we

714
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: talked about expectations and realities for the Chicago Bears, Caleb

715
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 3: Williams setting his sites high. Let's see if Jared's analysis

716
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 3: gets some to those magic numbers. We'll do that next.

717
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: Jared Smith in for Jason. I'm Mike Carmon.

718
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,640

00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: us here. Well, I mean that's where you're at over

724
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 3: on Saturday Mornings with Brian No and Rich Hornberger. Getting

725
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 3: set as we get ready for the college football season.

726
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 6: Part of the pregame.

727
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 3: There all the betting angles and analysis that you could want,

728
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: and right now starting to go through as we have

729
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 3: all of our conference commissioners and coaches getting up there

730
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: in peacocking. For everybody showing their wares, that's cool, probably

731
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: the best best way to say it, right, politicking and

732
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 3: doing their best to show their weares and say, hey,

733
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: this is why you should support our nil efforts. Along

734
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: the way, we need more money. That's how this all works.

735
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: Keep the machine moving super exactly. College sports what it's

736
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,959
Speaker 3: all about at Jared Smith. Betts is where you find

737
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 3: him in the twitterverse. Find me over at Swollen Dome,

738
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: sixth inning, top of second and third. Now for the

739
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 3: Twins three to three. As we roll through Walner at

740
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 3: the plate. We'll keep an eye on that game as

741
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: it develops, as well as the rest of the MLB slate.

742
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: But you mentioned his name earlier, so I'd be remissing

743
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 3: we didn't circle back to it. My beloved Chicago Bears

744
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 3: still training on nineteen eighty five, All these years later,

745
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: Ryan Poles gets to the extension after having a successful offseason.

746
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 3: You know, winning the offseason usually doesn't translate to much

747
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 3: in my Chicago world, but hey, we take the wins

748
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: where we can find them. Rebuilt offensive line, Ben Johnson

749
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: comes over all of these things. It's a new world

750
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: order for Caleb Williams, and he set his sites high

751
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: on what his personal aspirations are.

752
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 9: Obviously, I have self goals and that's you know, being

753
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 9: the first four thousand yard passer and bars his story.

754
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 9: That's a goal of mine. Seventy percent completion, helps the

755
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 9: team keeps on the field, puts his in better positions,

756
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 9: and then other than that, just trying to go down

757
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 9: and you know, score the most post points that we

758
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 9: can with these drafts that we have. So that's kind

759
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 9: of my self goal and obviously other you know than that,

760
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 9: you gotta go win. That's success for me, that's success

761
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 9: for the team. That's all we wish for and all

762
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 9: I wish for.

763
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 3: Well, and there it is the lofty goal and saying

764
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: the quiet part out loud. Bears have never had a

765
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: four thousand yard passer. You've seen some big seasons going

766
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: all the way back to the mid nineties where Eric

767
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: Kramer was firing the ball around. Yeah, that's right, I

768
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: did that there, and then we saw Jay Cutler and

769
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 3: he add some high flying numbers, but never to those

770
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: greatness greatest totals that have become well just commonplace for

771
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL. Bears sitting at a nice

772
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: robust eight and a half, not falling, not charging ahead

773
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: or falling behind in terms of win totals. You still

774
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: look at the Lions. We talked about David Montgomery saying, hey,

775
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: it's it's really the put up or shut up for

776
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 3: us this year unknowns with JJ McCarthy in Minnesota and

777
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 3: then obviously Green Bay. They just keep adding wide receivers,

778
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 3: will Sheppard the latest, But do they have a great

779
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 3: one among them?

780
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 6: But for the.

781
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: Bears, great expectations. Certainly with Johnson coming over from the

782
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 3: Lions and Caleb Williams, everybody wants to buy some stock,

783
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: it seems in the Bears offense.

784
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And if Ben Johnson can't get Caleb Williams to

785
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 5: play at his highest level, that I don't know if

786
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: there's a coach who can. I have the utmost respect

787
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 5: for what benj I mean, And when he turned down

788
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 5: the Washington job two years ago. I remember I did

789
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 5: a show the next night and I said, whenever he

790
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 5: takes a job as a head coach, I'm gonna be

791
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 5: all in, because he obviously wouldn't take the job unless

792
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 5: he felt like he could succeed.

793
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: But let me follow up with this.

794
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 5: If you're a Bears fan, what would you rather have

795
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams throwing for four thousand yards breaking that silly

796
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 5: curse or the Bears winning ten to eleven games and

797
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 5: winning the divisions.

798
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 3: For a yard and a half If they win games

799
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: exactly and ugly, I'll.

800
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 6: Tell you what though.

801
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: The first this guy calls a half a toss to

802
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: an offensive lineman, I will throw a mug through my television.

803
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 5: But it's like, that's the thing that scares me, is

804
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 5: like the one knock on Caleb is that he can

805
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 5: be a little bit temperamental and maybe a little bit

806
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: me First, and the first thing he said is I

807
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 5: want to throw for four thousand yards. And I don't

808
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 5: know how the question was frame, so I don't want

809
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 5: to take too much into it. But if I'm a

810
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 5: Bears fan, I could care less about that stupid record

811
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 5: and everything about going over that wind total and winning

812
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 5: the division.

813
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing, right, He circled back to

814
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: winning being the be all to end all, But certainly

815
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: a lot has been made about the pomp and circumstance

816
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: and pageantry and gadgetry and what Ben Johnson can unlock. Look,

817
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: if he goes seven percent higher in his completion, we've won.

818
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 6: He's Jared
