Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday. It's a meat Friday.
Speaker 1: At that the triggers are fired up, flat tops, smashed cheeseburgers,
Speaker 1: French fries, It's National French Friday, and pecan pie.
Speaker 2: I think he nailed it, did I finallyed it? Pecan
Speaker 2: pecan not pecan pecan pie as well, not to be
Speaker 2: confused with pumpkin pie. I'm getting two of those at
Speaker 2: the end of the show because I lost the Ronnie James.
Speaker 2: All these gms let me down. They all made mistakes.
Speaker 2: They let Bronni go in the second round. I thought
Speaker 2: he would somehow sneak into the I thought the Phoenix
Speaker 2: Suns were going to take him. I'll be honest there.
Speaker 2: And I actually talked to somebody who did say I
Speaker 2: think they're considering it, and I thought, you know what,
Speaker 2: this is a good bet. I bet four pies. That way,
Speaker 2: I can give every one of the Dan Nutes a
Speaker 2: pine of the face instead, they all get a chance
Speaker 2: to blast me. Legends in the paints in the pocket,
Speaker 2: showing their skills on the green Stars are coming out
Speaker 2: Lake Tahoe. The American Century Championship NBC and Peacock this weekend.
Speaker 2: Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock, thank you for
Speaker 2: downloading the app. Coming up, we'll talk to Paul Schemes
Speaker 2: of the Pirates had a no hitter through seven and
Speaker 2: his manager pulled him. We'll talk to him coming up.
Speaker 2: He hadn't pitched into the eighth inning this season, and
Speaker 2: he's had three games where he's had one oh seven,
Speaker 2: one o two and one oh three as far as
Speaker 2: pitches now, when you go back to LSU, he had
Speaker 2: games at one twenty three, one twenty one, twenty four,
Speaker 2: one seventeen, a bunch in the one ten range. But
Speaker 2: if you leave him in for the eighth inning, then
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to leave him in for the ninth
Speaker 2: if he still has a no hitter. But I'm curious
Speaker 2: if he had any say in being able to go
Speaker 2: back out for the eighth inning. So he'll join us
Speaker 2: coming out a little bit. Here's his manager, Derek Shelton,
Speaker 2: on why he pulled Paul Schemes yesterday.
Speaker 3: He was tired.
Speaker 4: It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Speaker 4: Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
Speaker 4: he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting him.
Speaker 4: When I went and talked to him after that, I
Speaker 4: mean he was tired. They did a good job of
Speaker 4: wearing him down, and I mean he gave us everything
Speaker 4: he had.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you take him out. I have no problem
Speaker 2: with it. I've said that all morning long. I know
Speaker 2: that baseball purist or the old school baseball fans going
Speaker 2: to say you got to leave him in. Now, if
Speaker 2: he had a perfect game, that might be a little
Speaker 2: bit different, or at least I would have had more
Speaker 2: of a pause with that to go. But I always
Speaker 2: want to check with the catcher. If I'm a manager,
Speaker 2: I don't ask the pitcher. I always asked my catcher,
Speaker 2: and I asked my catcher away from my pitcher, because
Speaker 2: you just don't want that conflict there. Hey, I thought
Speaker 2: you were going to have my back here. Why did
Speaker 2: you say that you know I'm tiring. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he was tiring. The Milwaukee Brewers probably didn't feel
Speaker 2: like he was tiring, but that was an impressive performance.
Speaker 2: He also looking at the odds for cy Young. I
Speaker 2: don't know if he could sneak in and steal the
Speaker 2: Cy Young. I think Zach Wheeler is the overwhelming favorite
Speaker 2: right now according to DraftKings. But could he have one
Speaker 2: of those twelve or thirteen win type seasons where the
Speaker 2: stats are just overwhelming. I mean, Jacob de gram won
Speaker 2: a couple of Cy youngs, and you know one was
Speaker 2: what COVID shortened. But still, you know, you're did he
Speaker 2: even get to ten wins one year? Did he win
Speaker 2: it with nine? I think I think it was like
Speaker 2: eleven and four eleven? Wait, he won two of them,
Speaker 2: didn't he? But I don't know. I mean, he was
Speaker 2: a dominating pitcher, he just didn't have, you know, a
Speaker 2: big win total that we normally equate. I thought Felix
Speaker 2: Hernandez for a starting pitcher, didn't he have thirteen wins
Speaker 2: one year? Yes, PAULI.
Speaker 5: Jacob mcgram was ten to nine one season, Nino one
Speaker 5: to cy Young eer a one point seven, oh, and
Speaker 5: then eleven and eight the following seas.
Speaker 2: All right, So Paul Skeins will join us. I don't
Speaker 2: know if he's going to start the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: Tory Lavello is the Arizona Diamondbacks manager. Now he's the
Speaker 2: guy who makes the call. He is the manager for
Speaker 2: the National League. I don't know when he'll make the call.
Speaker 2: Alan Atlanta called in earlier and said, Chris Sale is
Speaker 2: probably starting Sunday for the Braves. He would have been
Speaker 2: my choice with twelve wins. Great story, but Paul skeins,
Speaker 2: you want to get him out there. You want that
Speaker 2: build up for the All Star Game. Thirty two new players,
Speaker 2: first time players with becoming All Stars. NFL training camps
Speaker 2: will start later next week. You know, college football starts
Speaker 2: even earlier in August. You got the Olympics, you got
Speaker 2: golf British Open, like, there's things that are starting to
Speaker 2: heat up a little bit. This is usually the slowest
Speaker 2: time of the year. Therefore, if his story happens now,
Speaker 2: it might become bigger because it's now, as opposed to
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks where that story wouldn't see
Speaker 2: the light of day. Dion Sanders was talking to the
Speaker 2: media Big twelve Media Day and he was talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, his team expectations, is he judged differently And
Speaker 2: here's the question, and then Deon Sanders answer, do you.
Speaker 1: Feel an obligation with whom you are to perform at
Speaker 1: a higher level or coach at higher level?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I yes.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm judged on a different scale. My wins are
Speaker 6: totally different than your wins. Your wins, you just judging football.
Speaker 6: That's why I have to start out and give you
Speaker 6: education and academics and so forth. I have to give
Speaker 6: you those things so you understand there's a greater scope.
Speaker 6: I can't win nine games, and we our GPA suffers.
Speaker 6: Our GPA can't be high, but we lose another eight games.
Speaker 6: We can't not go and grab high school players, and
Speaker 6: you got a bunch of guys in the portal, out
Speaker 6: of the portal that is getting concerated. My wins are different.
Speaker 6: We have to win in every area. That's the way
Speaker 6: we're judged. I'm cool with that because we we we
Speaker 6: come a little different.
Speaker 2: Okay. Is he judged differently, Yes, but then he's also
Speaker 2: judged favorably. Who was the you know college you know,
Speaker 2: the face of college football? Was he the sportsman of
Speaker 2: the year by Sports Illustrated? They won four games? So
Speaker 2: you tell me that you're treated differently. The expectations are different.
Speaker 2: You're also treated differently in a positive light. When's the
Speaker 2: last time a team said, hey, how about our GPA?
Speaker 2: Like stop, that's silly. I remember, was it Randy Shannon
Speaker 2: at the University of Miami. He had an unbelievable grade
Speaker 2: point average at the U. It doesn't matter. Stop sees
Speaker 2: get degrees. Dion, Yes, you're judged differently. You got more
Speaker 2: more positive media attention than any coach has gotten, probably
Speaker 2: in careers. Last year, Game Day, big noon kickoff, all
Speaker 2: former players out there, all your buddies in the media
Speaker 2: having you on first take and undisputed and stop. You're
Speaker 2: not a victim here. You wanted the spotlight. You got
Speaker 2: the spotlight, and with the spotlight comes expectations. You kept
Speaker 2: saying to people, you believe now. You believe now. Right,
Speaker 2: you called out ed Warder in front of everybody, the media.
Speaker 2: You believe now. And I said, they're not a good team.
Speaker 2: They have a couple of good players who will play
Speaker 2: in the NFL. They didn't have depth. So when they won, ah,
Speaker 2: we beat TCU, Oh my god, they were twenty point underdogs.
Speaker 2: They still weren't a good team. And then the Colorado
Speaker 2: State game, unbelievable. It's Colorado State. But people can buying
Speaker 2: into this. Dion knew that he didn't have a great team.
Speaker 2: He had the worst offensive line in football. You start
Speaker 2: out usually what games you can win. Then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden they got into games that they weren't going
Speaker 2: to win. And don't tell me about GPA. If you're
Speaker 2: taking transfer portal kids and nobody's worried about education, I mean,
Speaker 2: I hate saying it, but it's true. I've never and
Speaker 2: any time a coach says, yeah, you know what our GPA,
Speaker 2: and I go, I don't care. Nobody cares because you
Speaker 2: can have four oh students, but if you have three wins,
Speaker 2: you're going to get fired. You can have students who
Speaker 2: are all two point zero and go undefeated and you're
Speaker 2: going to get a raise. So let's not do that.
Speaker 2: You got a lot of attention, more attention than you deserved,
Speaker 2: and now we want to I said you better get
Speaker 2: him last year because if he gets the chance to
Speaker 2: get players and he gets to build a roster and
Speaker 2: he's got a better off, he has to have a
Speaker 2: better offensive line. His son got hit more than any
Speaker 2: other quarterback in football last year, got sacked more than
Speaker 2: any other quarterback. That's on Dion. You made all these changes,
Speaker 2: you you know, kick guys to the curb. You get hype.
Speaker 2: Kids want to play for you, you got attention, You're magnetic.
Speaker 2: Now we want to see can you coach, can you recruit?
Speaker 2: Can you do it year in and year out? But yes,
Speaker 2: are you judged differently? Yes, mostly in a positive way
Speaker 2: so far. And it wasn't one of those. And I
Speaker 2: think Dion probably feels this way that it was. People
Speaker 2: are waiting to say, ah see, I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: be realistic. He came on the show, he's a great interview.
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't like how he ran off his players.
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were a very good team, even
Speaker 2: good team last year. His son can play in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Hunter can play in the NFL. He's probably got three
Speaker 2: or four players. Takes a whole lot more than that.
Speaker 2: And what did I point out yesterday? The great teams
Speaker 2: have great offensive lines. Can't go wrong. History shows great
Speaker 2: offensive line. Now you have a chance. Teams that compete
Speaker 2: for the national championship the last five years. Look at
Speaker 2: Georgia's offensive line, Alabama's offensive line, Michigan's offensive line. Got
Speaker 2: a good offensive line. You can compete. Colorado did not.
Speaker 2: So Yes, expectations, Yes, you got in the spotlight, Yes,
Speaker 2: but you wanted it. You asked for it, You needed
Speaker 2: it because you want to build a roster, and that
Speaker 2: was a bad, bad football team. That's why the job
Speaker 2: was open. So I want to see what he does now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauling, Like you said, though, everything's timing, and last
Speaker 5: year the college football season start out. There weren't a
Speaker 5: lot of good games to start the season. They had TCU,
Speaker 5: who was playing coming off being in the national title
Speaker 5: game down in Fort Worth on National TV on Fox
Speaker 5: forty five, forty two shootout. They won, and it just
Speaker 5: it greenlit the whole story Colorado way earlier than we expected,
Speaker 5: and Dion embraced it. Next week National TV, they take
Speaker 5: down Nebraska. Next week they take Vaska's not any good, No,
Speaker 5: but it just kept the story going.
Speaker 2: People wanted this was wishful reporting, Yeah, but they had
Speaker 2: people who loved Dion and wanted him to succeed. But
Speaker 2: instead of being honest with the situation, everybody rode that wave.
Speaker 2: Everybody did, and then they jumped off.
Speaker 1: Everybody those first four games like yeah, we're going out
Speaker 1: game days, going back out there.
Speaker 2: Okay, they're playing the hits. Until you realized music stopped, yes, see,
Speaker 2: well how do you do?
Speaker 7: You are?
Speaker 8: You playing the hits or are you following the story?
Speaker 8: And what's the difference. Are you riding the wave or
Speaker 8: are you just following what the story is. I think
Speaker 8: they were rooting for the story. If you looked at
Speaker 8: that team, they were a good team. People didn't want
Speaker 8: to believe in that.
Speaker 2: When you went and you started playing good teams, they
Speaker 2: were going to lose. They were going to get exposed.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody looked at them. I don't think
Speaker 2: a lot of people looked at them logically. I think
Speaker 2: they looked at the story and they go, I love
Speaker 2: this story and it was great for football. I just
Speaker 2: don't I don't think the analysts were being fair with
Speaker 2: the talent or lack thereof the disparity between what Colorado
Speaker 2: had and the teams they were going to play. Yes,
Speaker 2: yeahm are, but.
Speaker 9: At the end of the at the end of the day,
Speaker 9: this is a TV show and so if it's bringing,
Speaker 9: you know, driving ratings and getting all this attention, best
Speaker 9: case scenario for everybody and ESPN and Fox. They were
Speaker 9: going to Boulder week in and week out until they weren't.
Speaker 2: I know, and I get it, I get it. It
Speaker 2: was a wonderful month of fun months for college football.
Speaker 2: But Dion can't feel like he's judged differently when he
Speaker 2: was judged differently in a positive light and he was
Speaker 2: the Sportsman of the Year. How can you be a victim?
Speaker 2: You were embraced and not rightfully. So you created a
Speaker 2: buzz for college football, You created storylines for college football.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that you were a great coach or
Speaker 2: that you had a great team, because they didn't. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. Uh, Paul's schemes will join us,
Speaker 2: The Pirates, Rookie Pitcher, and more phone calls coming up
Speaker 2: on this Meet Friday. We're back after this.

Speaker 10: our show.
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1: What are you doing interrupting our promo. Yeah, it wasn't
Speaker 1: talking about you.
Speaker 3: You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
Speaker 10: out and beat you.
Speaker 2: Let me put this into context.

Speaker 2: Today's Mercedes Benz Interview of the Day brought to you

Speaker 2: here with the exceptional offers the cle Coop E, class
Speaker 2: Sidan C, classid en Clcabriolet going on now through September third.
Speaker 2: Learn more at mbusa dot com slash Dream. There were
Speaker 2: six shutouts in baseball on Thursday, and that ties the
Speaker 2: most in one day this season. One of those shutouts
Speaker 2: the Pirates, led by Paul Skens over Milwaukee and Paul
Speaker 2: Joins is now struck out eleven and seven no hit innings.
Speaker 2: How's the arm today?
Speaker 3: Uh, a little sore. I' moved it around too much,
Speaker 3: but uh yeah, it's a little sore.
Speaker 2: But how normal is that?
Speaker 3: It's normal? Yeah, every every time I pitched, just you know,
Speaker 3: a little stiffness, little soreness, But I mean that's kind
Speaker 3: of how it goes.
Speaker 2: How is your bullpen session before you started yesterday?
Speaker 3: It was good. I had to it took a little
Speaker 3: bit to loosen up. I think the day games will
Speaker 3: get you sometimes so, but it was a good bullpen,
Speaker 3: probably one of the better better ones this year.
Speaker 2: Is that always an indicator because some pitchers will say
Speaker 2: I was terrible in the bullpen, and then I got
Speaker 2: on the mount and I was lights out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say having a terrible bullpen seems to
Speaker 3: be a good thing. Sometimes you get all the bad
Speaker 3: pitches out of the way before you then you go
Speaker 3: out there and just just pitch. But sometimes it's a
Speaker 3: good thing to have a good bullpen before the game too.
Speaker 2: All right, when did you realize you had something special yesterday?
Speaker 3: Probably after the game, to be honest, in the moment,
Speaker 3: it was just kind of going out there and competing
Speaker 3: and executing, executing the game plan. But it, Yeah, in
Speaker 3: the moment, I wasn't too caught up in it.
Speaker 2: When you go into the dugout, you just completed the
Speaker 2: seventh what's the conversation you're having or is there a
Speaker 2: conversation you're having with your manager.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was talking with with our pitching
Speaker 3: coach and our game planning coordinator more than more than
Speaker 3: a shelter, our manager, but just kind of telling them
Speaker 3: how I was feeling, and and you know what I
Speaker 3: thought about the hitters, you know, going to the next inning,
Speaker 3: and I wasn't really expecting to go back out for
Speaker 3: the eighth in general, So it wasn't at all a
Speaker 3: surprise when when they pulled me.
Speaker 2: You realized you had a no hitter.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you had a perfect game, poll, would you
Speaker 2: have fought to go back out?
Speaker 3: Probably? I think just just the way that I am.
Speaker 3: I think going all the way back to high school,
Speaker 3: and then in call too, like you don't if you
Speaker 3: get pulled, you get pulled, you're not you're not talking
Speaker 3: it in. You're not talking yourself back into the game.
Speaker 3: And so that's something that I think I'm getting used
Speaker 3: to a little bit, is, uh, we have a little
Speaker 3: bit more pull here than I've had in the past.
Speaker 3: So maybe going forward I will start to fight. But
Speaker 3: that's kind of just not how I not how I
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: I guess, well, I wondered about that because you're a rookie,
Speaker 2: So you got to be like, what am I allowed
Speaker 2: to do as a rookie and not allowed to do?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 2: Does my manager want me to fight to go back
Speaker 2: out there? Like, I don't know if you have those
Speaker 2: range of emotions thereof am I allowed to say anything here?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And I think it's It's happened a couple of
Speaker 3: times already this year where you know, he tells me
Speaker 3: I'm out of the game, not not just here but
Speaker 3: also in ta A two. You know, he tells me
Speaker 3: I'm out of the game. And and then he comes
Speaker 3: up to me after the game and he's like, well,
Speaker 3: I was expecting you to fight a little bit more.
Speaker 3: And next time I think you should fight a little
Speaker 3: bit Like, well, you're my manager, You're you're not supposed
Speaker 3: to be advocating for me to fight against it, but uh,
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little different.
Speaker 2: How important is velocity when you're pitching? When you see
Speaker 2: something on the gun where I think you had to
Speaker 2: pitch one O two point six or your sinker was
Speaker 2: ninety seven? Like are those what kind of indicators are
Speaker 2: those for you that you can use in a game?
Speaker 3: If any it's it's really good and a lot of
Speaker 3: the stadiums have metrics on the scoreboard too now that
Speaker 3: show exactly how your pitches are moving, and and that
Speaker 3: that stuff can only help pitchers. I feel like, because
Speaker 3: it gives them a it gives us. It gives us
Speaker 3: a better indicator of where we are. You know, if
Speaker 3: our fast balls flatter, if our you know, my sinker
Speaker 3: running more, my slider has more more sweep on it
Speaker 3: than normal, then it gives gives me a better indication
Speaker 3: of how to use those pitches and where I need
Speaker 3: to throw them to get you know, takes and swing
Speaker 3: and miss and that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: When did you know you were great?
Speaker 3: I don't know if I am yet.
Speaker 2: The potential for being great, Yeah, I don't know. It
Speaker 2: had to be one of those moments where you go, damn,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3: Maybe, uh, I think I think we we kind of
Speaker 3: started to realize what we had a little bit in
Speaker 3: college last year, you know, because I went to to
Speaker 3: L s U from Air Force and I was I
Speaker 3: was a good pitcher at Air Force, but it wasn't
Speaker 3: it wasn't anything crazy, I don't think. And then got
Speaker 3: got to L s U and and kind of grew
Speaker 3: into my body and learned how to pitch a little bit,
Speaker 3: and then you know, started facing college hitters, SEC hitters
Speaker 3: and that kind of thing, and and there there was
Speaker 3: a little bit more noise around it too, so it changed,
Speaker 3: it changed. It changed quick for me really once once
Speaker 3: we got into the season at LSU. But that's you know,
Speaker 3: college college baseball and pro baseball are very very different things.
Speaker 2: Could you have stepped out of l a shoe right
Speaker 2: into the major leagues?
Speaker 3: I don't know, especially looking over the past year, because
Speaker 3: from LSU I only had one fastball. Now I now
Speaker 3: I have two fastballs, and just as a pitcher, it's
Speaker 3: a lot easier to pitch with two fastballs than it
Speaker 3: is one.
Speaker 2: Explain that. Explain the two fastballs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically, if they're if they're you know, if they're
Speaker 3: sitting on heater and they know that it's going to
Speaker 3: do this, and then they have to worry about the
Speaker 3: breaking balls and that kind of thing. Uh, those are
Speaker 3: very different things. But if you're throwing two, you know,
Speaker 3: fastballs with some villo and one of them does this
Speaker 3: and one of them does this, you it's it's hard
Speaker 3: to cover both of them. And so you know, swing
Speaker 3: and miss is one thing, but also getting early contact
Speaker 3: and and weak contact and ground balls and that kind
Speaker 3: of thing. That's what a sinker, uh specifically is good for.
Speaker 3: That's why a lot of guys throw sinkers and cutters
Speaker 3: and four teams. A lot of guys have three fastballs now.
Speaker 3: But I didn't have to fast balls when I was
Speaker 3: at LSU, So that was something that came along after
Speaker 3: that that I you know, started working on when I
Speaker 3: got to pro ball, and but that I think that's
Speaker 3: the one thing that has made the transition a lot
Speaker 3: easier for me, is just having too fast balls.
Speaker 2: He's Paul Schemes, the Pirates pitcher and on the All
Speaker 2: Star team. Did you know, like, are you pitching? Have
Speaker 2: you heard anything? If you're pitching in the All Star Game,
Speaker 2: that's the plan I'm lined up to do it. That
Speaker 2: The you know, the convenient thing about that as I
Speaker 2: pitched on a Thursday and the All Star Games on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: so that would be a you know, four days rest,
Speaker 2: which I haven't done in the big leagues this year,
Speaker 2: but I did it in Triple A a couple of times,
Speaker 2: so that that which is normal rest for a starting
Speaker 2: pitcher for the most part.
Speaker 3: So the plan. The plan is definitely to throw in
Speaker 3: the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: Where's your power come from?
Speaker 3: Pro my lower half to but one thing on it?
Speaker 3: But I think, I think just being strong in the
Speaker 3: lower half.
Speaker 2: And then but explain that though to parents or younger
Speaker 2: kids who like growing up, I always thought, I mean,
Speaker 2: you're throwing with your arm. But you see some of
Speaker 2: these guys lower body, especially pitchers. You know Verlander and
Speaker 2: Nolan Ryan, and you know all of these guys who
Speaker 2: are power pitchers. But explain how you use your lower
Speaker 2: body to create that power.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think having lower body strength is one thing,
Speaker 3: and lower body power is one thing. And you can
Speaker 3: lift a lot of weight and you can, you know,
Speaker 3: do all that, but then you know you have that,
Speaker 3: and then the sequencing comes into play about how your
Speaker 3: lower body is moving in comparison to your upper body,
Speaker 3: making sure that it's all timed up because they're you know,
Speaker 3: you can you look at bodybuilders and that kind of thing,
Speaker 3: and they can, you know, lift a lot of weight,
Speaker 3: but they can't sequence their body to throw a baseball,
Speaker 3: correct And that that's a that's an extreme example, but
Speaker 3: that's kind of the way I think about it. And
Speaker 3: then you look at guys that are, you know, super skinny,
Speaker 3: and if I had to guess, they probably can't put
Speaker 3: up four hundred pounds in a back squad, and they
Speaker 3: can still throw a hundred just because they they have
Speaker 3: good power output and they sequence their body up right
Speaker 3: and everything kind of falls into place.
Speaker 2: You're kind of like a scientist here. I try to
Speaker 2: be like, are you fascinated with the science of of
Speaker 2: all of this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean I think you can run yourself into
Speaker 3: a hole with some of that, and and some guys
Speaker 3: do with like, you know, you just go down to
Speaker 3: too much of a rabbit hole thinking about that kind
Speaker 3: of thing. So I try to find the medium there
Speaker 3: of you know, the science of it and then actually
Speaker 3: going out there and competing. But everything matters, for sure,
Speaker 3: and I think the I've been I've been super blessed
Speaker 3: to have a lot of coaches over the past, you know,
Speaker 3: a few years who have helped me with my development
Speaker 3: and pitching and allowed me to figure it out a
Speaker 3: little bit on my own as well as you know,
Speaker 3: providing me some directions. So I think I know where
Speaker 3: to look and what to look at and what to
Speaker 3: not look at.
Speaker 2: Just as importantly, what was it like April eighth, twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen when you go watch Sho heyo Chani pitch.
Speaker 3: You got the actual date?
Speaker 13: Huh?
Speaker 3: Yeah that was what was that his first? Yeah, home start? Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was cool and so I think we got the
Speaker 3: tickets because Matt Chapman was on the A's and he
Speaker 3: was playing against him, and so we got him through
Speaker 3: our our high school coach.
Speaker 2: He struck out twelve in that game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I remember guys were, you know, swinging at
Speaker 3: splitters that are bouncing on the grass and he's throwing
Speaker 3: a hundred and and it was just it was it
Speaker 3: was cool and I'm it from the stands and but
Speaker 3: it is. It is cool to watch the games from
Speaker 3: the dotch Do.
Speaker 2: You want to be O Tawny? Do you want to?
Speaker 2: I mean, you're you how much do you miss hitting?
Speaker 3: I miss it, but I don't miss how my body
Speaker 3: felt when when I was hitting and pitching. And the
Speaker 3: amount of work that you have to do to to
Speaker 3: you know, stay on the field and stay healthy. It's
Speaker 3: a lot which you know, all the power to to
Speaker 3: show to do that every single day. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: He's Paul Skin's the fourth pitcher since eighteen ninety three
Speaker 2: to record zero hits and ten strikeouts and multiple outings
Speaker 2: in a single season. He's six and zero. ERA is
Speaker 2: one point nine to zero.

Speaker 2: that's one of those where somebody's out of their element
Speaker 2: when they're being interviewed. If he was on the mound

Speaker 2: by Panini America, the official trading cards of The Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show. Connecticut head coach Dan Hurley will join us
Speaker 2: on the program coming up on Monday. Busy weekend in sports.
Speaker 2: You got soccer, you got Wembledon, there's golf. Let's see
Speaker 2: anything else wnb A Wimbledon, soccer, golf. Yeah, so it's
Speaker 2: a it's an interesting weekend where some of these sports
Speaker 2: might normally get buried, but they're going to stand on
Speaker 2: their own. They're going to get headlines here. And if
Speaker 2: it's Alcarez and Djokovic, is that what the final is?
Speaker 2: Is that set?
Speaker 5: Alchaz just ear Muffett. If you're taping it, Alcarez just advanced.
Speaker 2: So okay, witness, Yeah, beat Medvedev? And then when is
Speaker 2: jokers Joker playing next? I'm not sure the schedule here,
Speaker 2: but it looks like they're on a collision course here.
Speaker 2: All right, findal results of the poll question if you
Speaker 2: can seek no connor right now.
Speaker 8: If Paul Skeins was throwing a no hitter, sixty five
Speaker 8: percent of the audience would leave him in. We also
Speaker 8: put up there how much blame does Jonah Hill deserve
Speaker 8: for Paul Skein's pitch count?
Speaker 2: Wait, moneyball, you're blaming that Jonah Hill.
Speaker 8: Yes, Jonah Hill personally, it's his fault.
Speaker 2: Does he play that? Yeah? Let me see. Let me
Speaker 2: get a couple of phone calls in here. People have
Speaker 2: been on hold for a while. Mow in Arizona, Hi, Mo,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Thanks for holding?
Speaker 11: MORI and Dan Dennett's Yeah, I'm with the sixty five percent.
Speaker 11: I can remember Clayton Cursaw a couple of years back.
Speaker 11: He's pitching a perfect game eighty pitches and they pull
Speaker 11: him just for his health, and then he winds up
Speaker 11: getting hurt anyway, So I didn't understand that, and then
Speaker 11: follow that up with him going to the playoffs. He's
Speaker 11: murdered and they leave them in the game. So you know,
Speaker 11: just if it was me, I don't really give a
Speaker 11: red ass about Paul's games because I'm a Dodger fans,
Speaker 11: but I would have left him in.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you mom. It should It'll be a
Speaker 2: Dodger soon, yeah, soon soon. Oh sorry, well she does
Speaker 2: enjoy this for now. Sorry. It is from California. So, uh,
Speaker 2: let me see Jeff in Detroit. Whoa Jeff is back?
Speaker 11: What up?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 16: One time for Chad Row got a new gig. Man.
Speaker 16: When you guys are waking up to do the show,
Speaker 16: I'm just going to bed. I got a gig working
Speaker 16: for a Sedan company here in Michigan, Number one Sadan Company.
Speaker 16: We uh basically do like high end clients. Aiden Hutchison,
Speaker 16: you know those type of gaps. I miss you, guys,
Speaker 16: I really do miss you guys. Two things, Dan number one,
Speaker 16: Bill Belichick. I'm one hundred percent with you on him
Speaker 16: not coaching. It seems like the league has gone towards
Speaker 16: the more player coaching. I'm thinking that we probably got
Speaker 16: more former NFL players that are coaches now than ever before.
Speaker 16: You asked fifty people, who's the most winning NFL coach.
Speaker 16: I guarantee you forty nine of them will say Bill Belichick.
Speaker 16: And with the Jalen Brown situation, quick questions, which one
Speaker 16: with a bigger snug Jalen Brown not making the Olympic
Speaker 16: team or Isaiah Thomas not making the Olympic team.
Speaker 2: I would say Isaiah Thomas. I would say Isaiah. But
Speaker 2: that's you knew that there was friction with Michael Jordan
Speaker 2: with that, I don't know if there's friction with anybody
Speaker 2: with Jalen Brown. I know people are trying to read into, well,
Speaker 2: maybe Jason Tatum didn't want Jalen Brown. I have no
Speaker 2: evidence of that, and it's dangerous to throw those things
Speaker 2: out there. Jalen Brown should have been on, you know,
Speaker 2: the Olympic team. I don't buy into you got to
Speaker 2: play that position or you play that kind of role.
Speaker 2: And Derek White is a wonderful choice there. Jalen Brown
Speaker 2: just had I mean, how good of all you know? Postseason?
Speaker 2: He was the Eastern Conference MVP, he was the Finals MVP.
Speaker 2: It just felt like that seemed like the next move.
Speaker 2: It was obvious that he was going to be on
Speaker 2: the Olympic team. Uh, Bryan or Ryan and Queens.
Speaker 7: Hey Ryan, Hey, DP, I got a soccer uh combell
Speaker 7: here one for Seaton who's on your short list right
Speaker 7: now to manage the US and HISS national team now
Speaker 7: that Jurgen Klopp has pulled his name out of the ring.
Speaker 2: And for you, DP, are you willing to put a cause.
Speaker 7: In your contract that states if the United United States
Speaker 7: men's national team win the World Cup?
Speaker 2: Will you stay on air for another year for US? Yes?
Speaker 5: That shows your level of confidence or lack of competence.
Speaker 2: I think the same kind of chance that Jurgen Klopp
Speaker 2: was going to UH coach the US then team.
Speaker 8: That was that it was unfair to even just present
Speaker 8: it as a serious topic by people.
Speaker 2: By the way, I have the odds to win the
Speaker 2: Nation League Cy Young right now according to DraftKings Zach Wheeler,
Speaker 2: followed by Chris Sayle Rangers Suarez, and then Paul's Skeens
Speaker 2: and then Logan web Fire. Yeah, Spain is a favorite
Speaker 2: over England, A decent sized favorite that'll be on Sunday.
Speaker 2: And in case you're wondering the Mercury Versus the fever
Speaker 2: over under for Caitlin Clark in that game is eighteen
Speaker 2: and a half points. She's started to play a whole
Speaker 2: lot better. As I said, they crammed in a lot
Speaker 2: of games early. They wanted to get as you know,
Speaker 2: much bang for their buck and TV exposure, and she
Speaker 2: was exhausted. So you just finish your college career, go
Speaker 2: you know, deep into the tournament, and then you got
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. Next thing you know, you're playing
Speaker 2: in the WNBA against experienced players, and she was tired
Speaker 2: and then got a little bit of a break. Now
Speaker 2: playing against teams that aren't as good, and she's starting
Speaker 2: to play a whole lot better, which is exactly what
Speaker 2: I thought was going to happen. Justin and Idaho, Hi, Justin,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 12: You do it?
Speaker 2: Hey, Justin, just really quick.
Speaker 12: I wanted to throw a couple phrases in for Cooper flag.
Speaker 12: We got dragged for flag, and well, I think your
Speaker 12: first one went well enough, but you can go too far.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do in for Cooper ohlright, thank you?
Speaker 12: Justin?
Speaker 8: Yes, saying it doesn't rhyme, but capture the Flag is
Speaker 8: making a big run on social media. I think that's
Speaker 8: going to be the winner.
Speaker 2: Did you guys play Capture the Flag? When you were
Speaker 2: growing up a little bit that I did a little bit.
Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm a little bit older. We played
Speaker 2: Capture the Flag. Is that like kill the carrier?
Speaker 14: That's a totally separate.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, yeah, capture the kill the man with the ball? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's true. Uh, this change for it's history, PAULI. By
Speaker 2: the way, the pies are coming up. If you're watching
Speaker 2: on Peacock, the bonus segment that we have, that's when
Speaker 2: I get the pies to the face. People are like,
Speaker 2: where when are you getting the pot of the fait.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's what they sound like, but
Speaker 2: it sounded like that's how they would sound, okay, Paul.
Speaker 5: Nineteen oh one, Cy Young of the Red Sox got
Speaker 5: career victory three hundred over raided. He won five hundred
Speaker 5: eleven games in twenty two years, including seven hundred and
Speaker 5: forty nine complete games. In his career, he pitched over
Speaker 5: four hundred innings seven times. It's nuts, No, Tommy Johnson,
Speaker 5: do you that could find.
Speaker 2: Disco dent because Tommy john wasn't born. Disco Demolition Night
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine, Comisky, that's when you brought your disco
Speaker 2: records and then they exploded, and that's when it all
Speaker 2: went to hell in a hand basket. Alrighty uh, what
Speaker 2: did I learn today?
Speaker 14: Todd Diamondback's manager Tory Levello announced live on the show
Speaker 14: to Paul Skeins he'll be the starting pitcher for the
Speaker 14: National League in the All Star Game in Arlington Tuesday night.
