Speaker 1: first rookie since nineteen forty nine to have ten strikeouts

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: in a World Series game. He dominates the Dodgers lineup

Speaker 1: the Blue Jays win the last two games of the series.

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,800

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: now really quick, A great moment right now. We just

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: happen to see in some of the local postgame here

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, because now you know, it's the end

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it Clayton Kershaw and it looks like

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: his entire family and I mean like there's a lot

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: of people out there in Kershaw, Jerseys enjoying being on

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: the field one more time because he's played his last

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: game at Dodger Stadium, retiring after this year. And again

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: I told you last night, I don't think we see

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: him again in the series. He had his legacy, he

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: had the mercer legacy is secure. He had his legacy

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: securing situation when he had the big out at the

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: end in the you know, in the ninth inning of

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Game three. And now to see him, you know, knowing

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: well that this is kind of it, that's going to

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: be it, and him and his family out on the

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: field right now while postgame is going on and joining

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium and the field one last time.

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you were going to refer to the

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 3: out outdoors as fans were leaving. There were a couple

44
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: of guys that walked by. They had clearly had their

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: way with those beer bats. They looked like they were

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: carrying a full rack worth.

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, beer bats.

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: They were having a must have had a hard nine. Yes,

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: well they just went and picked up all the ones

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: people left behind, by the way, that's what I thought

51
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: you were referred. Instead, you get the you know, the

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: family that we go back to his wife and the

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: stands during that appearance, right, it was like all the

54
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: shots and cutaways of Sandy Kofax we got today. It's

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: like for one out. I think they went to Ellen

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: like nine times. It tears are streaming down her face

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 3: as it finishes. But it's I mean, god, it's been

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: looking at all the years, two thousand and eight, Yeah,

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: and this is it. I mean, maybe we see Clayton

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: Kershaw one more time. Maybe probably we don't, but you

61
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: could tell right now, you know, enjoying now that they've

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: left the field in the last minute or two, but

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: you saw him out there just having fun. Yeah, last

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 3: time we're gonna be out here like this is it?

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: Like it's not gonna happen again. Sure, I'm ready time

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw wants to go on the field after the

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: game to allow him to but it's you know, while

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: he's playing, it's happening.

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: This is it.

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Man, you start talking about old timer's day. Yeah, come

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: throw out a first pitch.

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, just think about that for Kershaw comes

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: at you fast. He's that a hell of a run though.

74
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: I mean even this year he was eleven and two

75
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: e er a still sub three five, got that big

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: out in Game three, all sorts of pomp and circumstance

77
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: and decorated. And I know there are those detractors out

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: there that were looking for the other shoe to drop.

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: It didn't. Now you're ready for my Game five World

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Series playoff hot tape. I can't wait. You ready for this?

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Okay go now, no matter how you slice it up,

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, greater than Show. Hey, O Tani, greater

84
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: than show I got. I'm gonna I'm gonna lay it

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: out for you. I'm gonna lay it out for you. Now.

86
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: We've talked about the impact and this is not anything,

87
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: This is not This is not an antiotanic thing more,

88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: it's a pro lad Junior thinger. We talked abou this

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: with John.

90
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: I mean, there's only winners and losers here, So if

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: you're if you're not first, just like in Cars one

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: winner forty three losers.

93
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: We've talked about vladd Junior's impact as a leader. Right

94
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: after Game three, he waited for every one of his

95
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: teammates to come into the locker room after Freddie Freeman's

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: walk off and said, it's not over. You win four games,

97
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: not to stick with it, stick with it. Told every

98
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: one of his teammates that, and when you hit a

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: home run every game, okay, you back it up. Players

100
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: are gonna follow you. So his impact as a leader

101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: has been incredible. And we've talked about the Dodgers not

102
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: having that guy just because well they're superstars, they're likable,

103
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: they're they're people. Everybody respects them. It's hard to make

104
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: them the evil Empire. But at the same time, you

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: need that one guy that's gonna say, hey, I'm gonna

106
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 1: say what what no one else is saying. You guys

107
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: have been playing like crap. We've been swinging the bats

108
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: like crap. This has been unacceptable and the Dodgers don't

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: have that guy. But vlad Junior has been that guy

110
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays, and clearly that his teammates have

111
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: talked about how he's inspired them with his play and

112
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: his you know, hey, his leadership. Don't give up. But

113
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: you want to look at the playoffs, now, Okay, Vlad

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Junior has been over a better than show Heyo Tani.

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: Vlad Junior's last ten games. Okay, so you're talking about

116
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: midway part of the ALCS into the World Series, like

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: so most of the ALCS D of the World Series.

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: He is hitting four fifty two. He is nineteen for

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: forty two, five home runs, thirteen runs scored, has been

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: walked seven times. He has been absolutely unstoppable, and basically

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: he's been unstoppable since the playoffs started. But just to

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: go back the last ten games, right, just say what

123
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: what what have you been doing lately? He's got at least

124
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: one hit in every game and he is hitting four

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: fifty two. He has been absolutely lights out? All right,

126
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: vladis boy? Now is he? Okay? Now we'll go We'll

127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: go to the next part of it. And I realize

128
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of cherry picking the stats here for a second,

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: but just to illustrate, show, hey, Otani take out Game four,

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: against the Brewers and take out Game three against the

131
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Now, it's hard to say that you're talking

132
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: about the two greatest postseason games a player has had

133
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: in the history of the sport, right, because that's what

134
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: it is.

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 5: Right.

136
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Otani six innings, pitch, ten strikeouts, three home runs against

137
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: the Brewers, on base nine times, two home runs, two doubles.

138
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: First guy with four extra base hits in a World

139
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Series game since nineteen oh six. Right, So I realize

140
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but take out these two games, Okay, just

141
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: take out these two games. For the playoffs. Otani is

142
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: eight for fifty three. He is hitting one sixty three,

143
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: He has scored six runs. He has struck out twenty

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: two times in these fifty three at bats. Right, this

145
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: has not been We talk about Mooki Betts struggling, understandable

146
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: because hey, when Mooki Bets goes the lake, the Laker,

147
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: the Dodger lineup seems to go much better because he

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: just has that effect on it. But Shoe Otani outside

149
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: of those two games has not been good man like.

150
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: Not only is he not only is he not getting

151
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,679
Speaker 1: on bait, not only is he not hitting the ball,

152
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: he's striking out at an alarming rate. He's striking out

153
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: nearly in half is at bats. You see him lunging

154
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: for pitches. It's really difficult to see and it's and

155
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: it's hard to fathom because, well, you think Otani in

156
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: these two games, but that's covering up the playoffs that

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: he has had that have been tons of opers. I mean,

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: his other get eight hits in all, and and two

159
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: of his home runs. He got three home runs overall,

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: two of them in that first game against the Reds

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: right where they you know, the Reds were completely outclass.

162
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: So you're talking about a playoff series of two games

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: against the Reds. The next series against the Phillies, didn't

164
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: really hit against the Brewers, had the one game where

165
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: he hit here in the World Series, had one game

166
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: where he hit like, that's not gonna do it for you, man.

167
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: And you could talk about Betts as we have in

168
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the other guys in the lineup not hitting. But this

169
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: is Otani outside of those two games. Not like you

170
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: add those two games, the stats look amazing. He'sn't like

171
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: two fifty when you add in the rest of those stats.

172
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: But that certainly amps up his postseason. But every other game.

173
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Take out those two games, Otani's sitting one sixty three

174
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: with twenty two strikeouts and fifty three at bats.

175
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: He is precisely at two fifty as we sit here,

176
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: fifteen of sixty overall in the postseason. But you know,

177
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: on balls batted in play batting average on balls in

178
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: play three eighty five. Problem is he struck out twenty

179
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: two of that. That's the all thing. You got to

180
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: go back to the strikeouts.

181
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: The other thing you go into Vladimir Guerrero.

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: And this one caught me off a little bit because

183
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, we've talked about the batting average and obviously

184
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: the pension for hitting the big home run of late.

185
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: Here he's walked twice as many times as he struck

186
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: out in the playoffs, ten walks. He got his fifth

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: strikeout tonight, and that's how dialed in he's been. And

188
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: it speaks to the overall Blue Jays idea of hey,

189
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: we're not going down swinging, We're not gonna go down looking.

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: We're putting the ball in play right, put pressure on opponents.

191
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: We talk about it and every other sport that you

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: and I break down here on Fox Sports Radio. Certainly

193
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: something we've preached to our daughters and their teammates in

194
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,359
Speaker 3: every sport that they've played, you with soccer and softball,

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: with me with the soccer world. For my kid, like

196
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: she's just yelling at her forde put the ball on net,

197
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: make the goalie do something right and get them off

198
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: the mark. Same thing here. We've watched how the defense

199
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have been put off. But in this one

200
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: to one comparison, yeah, we've got some heroics and those

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: are two games you'll never forget and they help propel

202
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: the Dodgers to where they are. Can't take that away.

203
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: But the overall arch, as we talked about with Jumpalmrosi

204
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: last hour, is game to game it's not been pretty. Right,

205
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: you had those five walks, well, that's some half his

206
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: walk total during these playoffs was intentional walks. In that

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: Game three, he's not having graded bats. He's pulling off

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: and trying to pull everything right. That hit that he

209
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: had in the home run the other night, right, that

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: was his first opposite field hit since what September twentieth

211
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: or something. That was a full month of baseball where

212
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: you're and think about the strikeouts of you know, trying

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: to overcorrect and yank down the right field foul foul line.

214
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: It's just been a difficult slog and you're not protected,

215
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: right because Mookie Bets has been that bad, which is

216
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: why they could do the walk, but you don't have

217
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: to pitch him, which means he gets anxious, Yeah, because

218
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: he wants to do something because he knows Mookie's going

219
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: poorly behind him. So it it becomes this compounded effect.

220
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's real. It's it's the Dodger lineup, everybody

221
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: not hitting at the same time. It's two games from

222
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: Otani covering up everything else. It's the Dodger pitching in

223
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: the NLCS covering up everyone else. But like when when

224
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: when you say, okay, who's making this team?

225
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: Go?

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: The top three guys you're gonna say are Otani, Bets,

227
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: and Freeman, Right, those are your three guys, and Mookie

228
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: Bets has been lost. He's been lost for a long time.

229
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: They tried to drop I mean, I don't know dropping

230
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: him to third tonight was the right call, Like like, okay,

231
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I get you have him second, but you're dropping him

232
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: to third really like that's gonna help?

233
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: Like, but that was that was the thing when I

234
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: when I signed it out and now it sos like

235
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: he's gonna be in the sixth right and then he's third,

236
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Like is that is that wrong?

237
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: Like that we want to drop him to fifth to

238
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: bat in front of month see, Like okay, but you're

239
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: dropping him to third, like you if you don't want

240
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: him up when he's hitting second, you want Hi up

241
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: when he's hitting third, Like is it too much pressure?

242
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: Hitting behind o Toddley? He's a pro man, Mookie's been

243
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: in the league a while, he's a bro.

244
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: But that's the biggest thing, right, It's what I've always

245
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 3: argued here with you and all my time here at

246
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio and being a blathering idiot. Immediate overall

247
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: is you know, if you're worried about losing your quarterback,

248
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: right to mix sports for a second, and you know,

249
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: like a benching or change of philosophy or whatever, you're

250
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: going to lose him. That's not your guy, because the

251
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: whole thing is about mental resolve of getting back up

252
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 3: for the next at bat, taking a sad getting back up,

253
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: throwing a pick, getting back in the huddle like all that.

254
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: If that's going to force a guy to be lost,

255
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: then you've already lost you've already picked the wrong guy.

256
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: And Mookie Betts has too long a track record, and

257
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: I think he's too prideful to suddenly go into some

258
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: shell because he gets dropped in a batting order. He's

259
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: already in a bad funk, right, hitting in another part

260
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: of the order. Isn't gonna do it because he knows

261
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: he can still help you make plays in the field.

262
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: If I thought for a second that there would be

263
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: other batters who would step up, it wouldn't be that

264
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: big a deal. But clear, since they got Otani, they

265
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: have been Otani and bets Driven. Right, you've been Otani.

266
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: If Freddy's been great, right, Freddie Freeman's been awesome to

267
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: walkoffs in the World Series, he's been great. But you're

268
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: Otani and Bets driven. You are top heavy the top

269
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: of that lineup. And we know Bets hasn't been good.

270
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: And Otani again, outside of those two games, he's had

271
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: a bad play. He still walks a lot. And that's

272
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the thing, and that's what maybe makes you think, Okay,

273
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: he's having it that No, yeah, he walks a lot,

274
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: that's fine, but he's not hitting right. He's not hitting again.

275
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: Twenty two strikeouts in fifty three at bats. I mean,

276
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: this is this is this doesn't work, man. I mean,

277
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: Otani's had the two best games in playoff history. But

278
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: I think if you'd rather have mister consistent, which is

279
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: who has been great since the playoffs began, and he's

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: one to two hits every game, scoring a run every game,

281
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: hitting a home run almost every game. Vlad Junior has

282
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: been better than Shoeo Tani in the playoffs in the world,

283
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: no matter how you cut it up, and then better

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: then just you know, overall philosophy, right of how the

285
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: team as they're playing Guerrero batting second, you got good

286
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: at bats in front of him. And that's one of

287
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: the things with Otani as well, right because out of

288
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: that ninth spot you've got nothing either. So as it wraps.

289
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: From one inning, you know, as the inning goes on,

290
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, cal was another row for we already seen

291
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: Pahz who's somehow I don't I don't know what happened

292
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: to his bat. I mean, I've seen a lot of

293
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: jokes of co opting Joe bu for the Dodgers hitters

294
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: and putting that jersey on and trying to inspire something

295
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: out of there. But It's It's been a tough slog,

296
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: no question about it, but the Heroics make up for

297
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: it in parts. And here we sit with two games

298
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: left potentially in this season. But all of it just

299
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: gamed the game. Very frustrating to watch, you know, as

300
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: a baseball fan looking for, you know, consistency and fluidity.

301
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: It certainly has not been Dodger baseball exit. How about

302
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: a Fresco exit swallen' Dome. We have more in the

303
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: World Series coming up next, but straight ahead after tonight,

304
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: have we just seen the birth of a new NBA superstar?

305

335
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: up in a few minutes. We look back at a

336
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: shocking turn of events the last couple of days and

337
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: have seen the Blue Jays take a three games a

338
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: two lead in the World Series. But I'm pretty sure

339
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: after what we just saw is the birth of a

340
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: new superstar in the NBA. It's not Cooper Flag. The

341
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: Knicks were off tonight.

342
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: Why's it got to be about the Knicks' You think

343
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: we already have established star. I mean, Dallas has bench

344
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: scored sixty. We already have established I was great.

345
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: But after hitting this game winner tonight, this player has

346
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: graduated from hey, really good support player. Potentially could be

347
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: a number three guy on a team. Maybe if you

348
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: need to flip him to another team for a better

349
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: player as part of a trade, he could do that.

350
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: But no, the last three nights he has become an

351
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: NBA star. La Rabia gets it. Rules now with five,

352
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: with four, we're three Austin down the Mids to win

353
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: the game, to win the game. What the winner they

354
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: are doing?

355
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 7: What r does gets into the paint and all that

356
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 7: celebration that the Timberwolves are born.

357
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: Six seconds ago, I'm.

358
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Not doing that. Yeah, they didn't really celebrate.

359
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: Now. It was an eight point Laker lead over the

360
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Timberwolves on the road in Minnesota with about two minutes

361
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: left to go. Some missshots, some made shots, and the

362
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: t Wolves took the lead with about nine seconds left

363
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: and did do a lot of jumping around and yeah,

364
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: we got it, we got it, We got it. Austin

365
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: ree another great game for him, twenty eight points, sixteen rebounds.

366
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: You know he's taking the final shot. The Lakers have

367
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: played the last three games without Luca, who has sat out. Okay, now,

368
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: no Luca, no Lebron. The beginning of the season, not

369
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: exactly what the Lakers had in mind. We thought, Okay,

370
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Luca's gonna stand up and take the

371
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: team and drag him around and say, okay, I'm gonna

372
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: keep us afloat until Lebron gets back, showing you that

373
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: this is why I'm the present and future, and Lebron's

374
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: gonna be out after a year. But you had Austin

375
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: Reeves getting the lane for the leaner to win the

376
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: game tonight, his last three games twenty eight and sixteen

377
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: tonight and the game winning shot when you know he's

378
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: the only guy taking this shot, right. This is the

379
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: Lakers and a bunch of guys tonight, and they found

380
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: a way to win this game in Minnesota. Lakers had

381
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: no business winning this game. I thought you were gonna

382
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: give some love to La Rovia. He was mentioned in there.

383
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm like a hi you saying seven points tonight. Come on,

384
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: he'd lost the ball out of bound the final minute.

385
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: It happened, But what did he do when it mattered?

386
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: He made the play. You go back to the game

387
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: Monday night against Portland when Reeves went for forty one

388
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: in a loss, and of course the fifty one point

389
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: game against Sacramento on Sunday, fifty one eleven rebounds, nine

390
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: assists as they beat the Kings one twenty seven to

391
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: one twenty these last three games, Austin Reeves has leveled

392
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: up to become an NBA star, where now you're saying okay,

393
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: instead of who's gonna be the number two with Luca

394
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: when he gets back and Lebron winds up moving on,

395
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: It's like, I think we have our two.

396
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: But he can go back to those first two games.

397
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: He was eighteen of thirty one in those three games

398
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: he was He's been really good.

399
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: He is, like I said, he has leveled up this

400
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: year so far, but those last three games, like Austin

401
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: Reeves has gone from he's a if he's your third

402
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: best player, that's nice, it's but yeah, now it's hey,

403
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: Reeves is a Scottie Pippen to Luca's Michael Jordan, Like

404
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: he has become that kind the player he's now. It

405
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: took him a little bit, right, it took him a

406
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: little bit, like twenty seven. But still, okay, he's got

407
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: five six, you know, maybe six good years left to

408
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: you know, in his prime to continue to be this

409
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of player. But he has leveled up in mensa.

410
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: When you can win games by yourself when every everybody

411
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: else is out, that's always the biggest signe. Okay, this

412
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: guy's a star because he can do it when everybody

413
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: else is injured. Okay, Right, We've watched Lebron do it

414
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: for years and years with the Cavaliers and the other

415
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: teams when players are injured or he's not playing on

416
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: a great team, you know, dragging the Cavs to the

417
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: finals with a really bad supporting cast.

418
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 7: Right.

419
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: You've seen Luca do it with the Mavericks when they

420
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: just had a bunch of guys for a few year

421
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: run there in Dallas. But now you expect, okay, lucas

422
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: a guy that can do that. But now you know

423
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves guy that can do it now? Can he

424
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: do it forever? Probably not, but to be. But I'm

425
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna take over as a one. But

426
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: now the Lakers have found there too. This is gonna

427
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: be Luca and Austin Reeves it now. I wonder how's

428
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: Lebron Gonda have fit in when he comes back, and

429
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: it's been Hey, this is the Luca and Austin show now,

430
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: and you got to find your way in here, Lebron,

431
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: because Austin Reeves is a lot younger, we're paying them

432
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: less money. He's gonna be here. He's really bleeping good man.

433
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: Good luck stopping this tandem in the back court of

434
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: Luca and Austin Reeves. I mean, we would be sitting

435
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks going, hey, the Lakers

436
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: are the best backcourt in the NBA.

437
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: Is this something?

438
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: The best backcourt in the NBA? And now Lebron coming

439
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: in trying to come back, thinking, Hey, these first eight

440
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: or ten games, the Lakers are gonna struggle, They're not

441
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna win. I'm gonna come back and say the team

442
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: and people will see how valuable I am. Now he

443
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: might come back and it's hey, dude, so listen, we

444
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: want to make sure Austin gets his shots. Who want

445
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, pick your spots here a

446
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: little bit, and all of a sudden he's even one

447
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: more down the pecking order, Like all of a sudden

448
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: he said, of hey, I'm Luca's one a now maybe now,

449
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: maybe he's gonna wind up coming back and being the three,

450
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: the number three guy with the Lakers. When it happens,

451
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: think about not just because all of a sudden, I'm

452
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: stepping on Lebron and saying, oh, he's back. But you

453
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: know they want to move on without him.

454
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: You know they do.

455
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: You know he will. They're going to take every opportunity

456
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: they can to point this team forward, saying okay, we

457
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: are Luca and Austin driven and Lebron. Yeah, maybe we

458
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: can get something out of this hip. Maybe we trade

459
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: you the deadline if the Cavaliers aren't winning, you want

460
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: to go back there for a year. We can figure

461
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: something out with trade wise. But now you wonder, what's

462
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: what kind of team is Lebron James coming back to

463
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: When you perform and Austin Reeves has performed like this

464
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: without Luka Doncic, this is incredible what he's done. Yeah,

465
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: no question about it.

466
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: It's still a fourteen point loss to Portland mixed in there,

467
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: but three and two overall fifty seven point three percent

468
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: shooting for Reeves.

469
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: I took on bridge to you just going straight to

470
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Pip and Jordan.

471
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 3: It's like, really, you couldn't go to a lesser accomplished

472
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: duo that had some good runs okay, but didn't win

473
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 3: a damn thing.

474
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns.

475
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't do that. Man to Jay, one

476
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: of these guys pouting no, no, okay, wait to Jalen and Giannis.

477
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: When the next get Yannis in a couple, I would

478
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: be Jaalen Janka series. What happens if you take his headband?

479
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: He loses all his powers. We recognize him, you would

480
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: know he was rips off.

481
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: It's like he's getting signals into someone's working a joystick

482
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: with him.

483
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: Find it waiting to get Alex Caruso back, and suddenly

484
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: two fifths of your starting lineup is wearing headbands. That'd

485
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: be good. I could get on board that, yeah.

486
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: Because a lot of people in Lakerville are still mad

487
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: Alex Crusoe is.

488
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: Not a member of their squad.

489
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: But all of that to say, it's been a fun

490
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: first five games and having a guy emerged like this,

491
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: and obviously I joke about Laravi. It's a it's a

492
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: great big first step for him, their first round pick

493
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: this year, but they can get him to start playing

494
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 3: a little bit with consistency. Hasn't had huge minutes most

495
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: most of this early run, but he raised an eyebrown

496
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 3: going all right, youth movement to your whole Lebron thing.

497
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: You know a lot of predictions that he'll never play

498
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 3: for them again, which I think is fun because that

499
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: would really accelerate the timeline. Don't think it happens quite

500
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: that fast, but we have no idea how fast Luca's

501
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: getting back either. There was some speculation about even game one,

502
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 3: before the finger injury, groin injury, et cetera, that they

503
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: were gonna have to monitor and maybe limit his minutes

504
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: a bit for a while. So for Austin reeves a

505
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: chance to step into the spotlight here, and he's certainly

506
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: done so through five games, averaging thirty five point eight

507
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: points per game. Not exactly how you would have drawn

508
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 3: it up. It's kind of like the football equivalent of well,

509
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: there's Drake Mayin, Daniel Jones atop your leaderboard.

510
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you didn't see that coming.

511
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: You had hope for both of them in their respective

512
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: positions for this year, but certainly not to that level

513
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: of greatness. But this game was fun on his hell,

514
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: especially an animated Anthony Edwards just watching the action go

515
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 3: down because East sidelined with a hamstring injury, but just

516
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: marveling the little cutaways we talked about, sour and the

517
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 3: doom look on Sandy Coche facts his face all night.

518
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: Anthony Edward was just loving what he was seeing on

519
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: either side. Like everybody, I was like, wow, like normally

520
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: your stone face to a big shot by the party,

521
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: he was just like sure, okay, kid, the guy who's

522
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: probably a half a year younger than him. But all

523
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 3: of that, uh, it's made for a little extra excitement

524
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: and some positivity in now like.

525
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: Well, like yeah, and Los Angeles needs something after the

526
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: way the World Series is going. But just you know,

527
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: think back for a second to the beginning of Insanity,

528
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: right when Jeremy Lynn shows up at the Knicks and

529
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: had that big stretch that we cand he had the

530
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: big stretch because Carmelo Anthony was hurt and it was Okay,

531
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: how are the Lakers going to how are the next

532
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: how are the Lakers? How are the Knicks gonna be

533
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: able to navigate? And all of a sudden, Jeremy Lynn

534
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: is true and linsanity takes over and he has this

535
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: you know, three week run. And I remember mellow before

536
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: he came. When he was coming back, like was getting

537
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: questions from the media like, hey, how are you gonna

538
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: fit into the Knicks offense now? And He's like, how

539
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 1: do I fit in? This was my bleeping t were

540
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about how I'm gonna fit in? Like, but

541
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: that's how quick it changes? Well, it was like he

542
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: was how quick it change? He was in the news

543
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: today right because of the load management stuff. We'll get

544
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: to the Jordan comments as we.

545
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: Go on, but they were asking him about a load

546
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: manage and he goes, wait me, wait what, like what.

547
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: Are you talking? But this is this is not just

548
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: to say that again, It's not just to say that

549
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: all Lebron coming back is gonna wind yet everybody's just

550
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: sick of Lebron in Austin reaves as a shiny new toy.

551
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: But it's the drama going into it because I've said

552
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: from the beginning.

553
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't.

554
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: I really, it's hard for me to see Lebron taking

555
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: the court for the Lakers. How is he gonna do

556
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: this when they have been at odds for the past

557
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: few months since the season ended. It's been Lebron daring

558
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: them to try to trade him or buy him out,

559
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: and it's been the Lakers daring Lebron to ask for

560
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: a biout or a trade. And they've been upping the

561
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: anty with each other, whether it's Lebron working out at

562
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: all these different facilities and the Lakers just continuing to

563
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: shower praise on Luca. You've seen they've been fighting, right,

564
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: You know that they're at odds. So both sides want

565
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: to move on. Both sides want to win the breakup, right.

566
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Lebron doesn't want to move on unless he knows I'm

567
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: going somewhere where I can say, hey, blank you Lakers,

568
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm winning a championship. The Lakers don't want to move

569
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: on from Lebron unless they're absolutely sure, Hey, the post

570
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: Lebron era is going to be a good one now.

571
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: Getting Luca obviously accelerated that, But moving on from Lebron

572
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: right now, Boy, it was kind of tough. It's kind

573
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: of because he's the number. He's going to be the

574
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: one a to Luca. But you see Austin Reeves and

575
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: he and Luca have hit, you know, they hit the

576
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: ground running to start the season. And now doing this

577
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: without Luca Austin. When you have a guy that's become

578
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: a superstar like that, and that's how it happens. It's

579
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: not where you become a star over a course, for

580
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: you become a superstar like that, right, Wemby has become

581
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: the best player in the NBA like that to start

582
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: this season, all of a sudden boom. But that's Wenby,

583
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: but before it goes before his illness and the ailment

584
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: of last year. I mean, that was a guy that

585
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: we were already putting into that elite right right. But

586
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: when I said you know what I mean, player in

587
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the NBA by the middle point of this year, he's

588
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: accelerated that timeline because he's jumped out, ready to go.

589
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: The fact that Austin Reeves has jumped out like this

590
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: tells the Lakers, hey, we can move on past Lebron

591
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: James era much easier than we thought we even a

592
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: week ago, because look at what Austin Reeves can do.

593
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Look at how dynamite these two guys have been when

594
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: they were the backcourt together.

595
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still think in the end, Lebron James wasn't

596
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: gonna get the Uh.

597
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: How should I say?

598
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: He's not winning the popularity contest, winning the breakup, and

599
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: he may go to a place where he could ultimately win.

600
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: But you know, he made what I'm never walking away

601
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: from fifty three million dollars. That's a tax bracket. I'll

602
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: never know. But he had the opportunity to go and

603
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: find the marketplace this offseason. Right could have just said, hey,

604
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: it was a good run, I'm out. But you know,

605
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: pride also screws with you a little bit, like, well,

606
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: you don't think I'm still that guy and all the

607
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: heaping of praise, Luca might be a guy that needs that. Clearly,

608
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 3: you have two guys that need that verb hug on

609
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: a great base. Hopefully Austin Reeves has a little thicker skin.

610
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: Exit outbout a Fresco exit swollen down The Jason Smith

611

613
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960

614
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

615
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 8: I'll take that compliment tonight because he comes in every

637
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 8: time World Series games. We actually have a late breaking

638
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 8: story in college football. The Los Angeles Times reported a

639
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 8: short time ago that the city of Pasadena and the

640
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 8: Rose Bowl Operating Company filed a lawsuit on Wednesday night

641
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 8: to force UCLA to honor its lease agreement to play

642
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 8: its home games at the Rose Bowl through twenty forty four.

643
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 8: The lawsuit accuses UCLA of quote unequivocally expressing its intent

644
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 8: to abandon the Rose Bowl and relocate to Sofi Stadium

645
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 8: in Inglewood, unquote. NBA Wednesday night, John Moran's nine foot

646
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 8: runner with seven point six to play gave the Memphis

647
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 8: Grizzlies a one fourteen one thirteen triumph at Phoenix, and

648
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 8: the four mentioned Austin Reeves at a twelve foot runner

649
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 8: at the buzzer to give the Los Angeles Lakers a

650
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 8: one sixteen one fifteen victory at Minnesota, and fellas I

651
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 8: swear I'm not making this up. That has inspired a

652
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 8: new magic. Johnson tweets, I don't say anyth We're gonna

653
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,400

654
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,600

655
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 3: member of the Presto ice Cream Kings in the Philippines.

656

00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: To you, now, I do have one serious question for you,

665
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: back to the UCLA story, is there also a stipulation

666
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: at as to the length of Jerry Newheisel's hair that

667
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: he can't be below a search I mean, because he's

668
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: gotta have the stylish hair. If he's going to be

669
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: on the sideline, guy's gotta be that.

670
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 8: It turned out that that was the only item that

671
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 8: the two parties were able to agree.

672
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: Okay, good, so they are all right.

673
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: So I didn't say they would upgrade the electrical so

674
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: to make sure that he can keep his hair nice

675
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: and fetal.

676
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,200

Speaker 1: Oh is that a magic Johnson tweet?

736
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean it would allow him to recover quickly

737
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: from the Dodgers loss. Sure, sure, now too rapid fire,

738

741
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: way he watched that. He might he might have figured

742
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: out the internet once, Hey, once, Magic Johnson figures out

743
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: the Internet. It's like sky Neet becoming aware and terminator.

744
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: You think you can figure out picture and picture? I

745
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: don't know. Do you think you'd figure out just clicking

746
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: on the Twitter icon on his phone and then typing

747
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: it out? Do you think again?

748
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, I mean that sounds like a magic

749
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 5: Johnson tweet.

750
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,400

752
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,480

00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: better after my Dodgers lost. Is that a magic Johnson tweet?

759
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: He gets the man and the may in there. But

760
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: we talked about that earlier, so I think that might

761
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: be a red herring. So I'm gonna say no, red hera.

762
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: That's a red herring.

763
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: Harry, you're saying no, Okay, I say no, Al Ray,

764
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: you're a wizard array all.

765
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 8: Right, I'm gonna say a yeah, Frostburg.

766
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 5: If that is a magic Johnson tweet, yeah, he should

767
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 5: sell his portion of the Dodgers. Okay, but I've got

768
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 5: a feeling it is all right, Alex, you're a wizard, Arry,

769
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 5: I think it is.

770
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 4: That is.

771
