00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Greetings, Welcome in side, Happy Friday, The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: with my bes friend Mike Harmon. Where I don't know

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: at this point, Mike Harmon, if the United States is

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: just trolling Canada bringing Keller into the game in the

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: sixth inning that they're leading five. Now look wait, you

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: don't care where we took hockey from you, Men's hockey,

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: women's hockey. Here comes Oh, it's not Megan Keller. So

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: we're still bringing Keller in to pitch against you here

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: in the sixth day. We're just trolling Canada at this point.

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: Should have had a giant K behind him with the

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: letters K E double L E. Are either that or

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: he should have had Clayton Kershaw. I'm walking out like

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: he was Razor Ramone. I had something of that. I mean,

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: it's just, uh, they have a little conga line going

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: there for a minute. Look, it started out oddly. Whenever

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: an error leads to early runs, you just start shaking

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: your head, going we could have we were with them

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: except for that. But here we are on a beautiful

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: Friday night, USA, USA. Not even your negativity can take

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: us down.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Just be I have When

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge strikes out against a kid who's a high

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: school pitcher, I have to say it. I can't, I

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: can't ignore it. You kind of reveled in it when

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: he's when he's a junior varsity freshman who tops out

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: at sixty seven and Aaron ros and Aaron Rodgers. He

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: strikes out Aaron Rodgers. And when when Aaron Judge grounds

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: into a triple play, I gotta say it, man, I

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: can't exaggerate.

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: But Aaron Rodgers being in the darkness, I mean the

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: ball coming from the light to the dark. I mean

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: that's a difficult proposition and maybe a parlor trick that

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: he's working on. But well there's that.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: During these things, I gotta say exactly what's going on here?

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: But where we are right now, well, that'll be it

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: for Keller apparently, curse Keller.

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think it was a troll. Jobs,

46
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: come on in and get your one out. Get the

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: Canadian fans Madden over there.

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think when Keller came in they played, because

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: I can't tell that they play on the uh. Keller

50
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: in for the United States. Canada has a lot of

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: experience with Keller, and they showed the game winner UH

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and the gold medal winner in the big move. But uh, yeah,

53
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: it was a very short appearance and a very short

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: troll because Brad Keller out of the game. Now he's

55
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: given up a single UH to drive in to help

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: the Canada drive in their first run of the game.

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Still a five to one United States lead, but Canada

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: on the board here in the bottom of the sixth

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: in the United States bottom of the lineup, getting it done.

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang's got a couple hits an RBI, Pete Krow

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Armstrong's got a couple hits in an RBI Logan Web

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: pitch is fantastic. A little over four innings. First WC

63
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: pitcher to go more than four innings, strikes out five,

64
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: no runs, comes out after seventy one pitches. So now

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: United States, it's they get out of this inning. You're

66
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: hunting out to get to the next round where unfortunately

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic is waiting. And this is it. Really

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: it's like a youth sports turn to where you're going, Okay,

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: we won this game. Oh man, we gotta play that

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: team next. They won ten tohing, eleven to one thirteen. Nothing.

71
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: They won by a mercy because they just mercied in

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: winning tonight. Yeah, suddenly Dominican Republic is it? Is it

73
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: one of those Yeah, it's gonna flyd by them and

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: get into the championship against Japan. Yeah, it's gonna be

75
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: a tough one.

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: Funny thing happened on the way too. The weight of

77
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: the show, I mean to some degree though, I mean,

78
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: let's look at the competition, right, we got we gotta

79
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: do a little bit of that in terms of what

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: was in that bracketology. Not exactly a heavyweight. You look,

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: you can only beat who's on the schedule, that's true.

82
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: And then they bludgeoned them. They did not take them lightly.

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: There were no managerial missteps of roster management or late

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: night pow wows to celebrate a game. Thinking the next one, well,

85
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: didn't matter, and all of those things wait, that didn't

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: Wait that sounds familiar, all of that to say, well

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: and challenge excepted. And then you get Venezuela and Japan

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: on the other side.

89
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: Man, beautiful times seven inning, ten run rule for the

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic beating Korea ten zip. And look, I mean,

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I know that we talked about all United States and Japan.

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: They're on a collision course. It's like, dude, look at

93
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic lineup? Are you kidding me to tease

94
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Marte Sodo, Guerrero, Machado, Kaminero, Rodriguez. Come on, man, I mean,

95
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: I mean, really, what all of us? Hey, it's gonna

96
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: be us in Japan. Oh dude, dude, Dominican Republic is

97
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: just hot knife through butter all of these teams in

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. I mean, we're having enough trouble

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: with Canada tonight. Try to just stay ahead of them

100
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: and put them away before we move on. Now.

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: To be fair, I mean, the general rule of thumb

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: is we want to see the rematch of the heavyweights

103
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: we saw last time. Now it won't be Otani versus Trout,

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: but we want something of that ilk, and especially when

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: Sho heeo Tani is the biggest name in all of

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: the sport. This game is on Fox, so clearly you're

107
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 3: talking about big moments the last couple of years in

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: the World Series that you want to see that continue. Yeah,

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: you might overlook folks for a moment and start thinking

110
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 3: about the big flies and big opportunities down the stretch,

111
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, you got to take care of business day

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: to day before that. I mean, I'm not going DeRosa

113
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: here in looking into that. It's just more the wishing, wanting, hoping,

114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: hope is it? Sometimes the best of things sometimes dangerous

115
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: Jason Smith, you know this.

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, hope hope is dangerous and also dangerous. Maybe

117
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: they should have left Keller in the game because now

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: Spires just come in and given up a two run

119
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: jack to Bowe Naylor. That spired Chris Spye. Not none

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: of those expos teams from the seventies. Man, Why do

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: we keep bringing those guys in? Why is Andre Dawson

122
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: in the game? What do we do?

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a logo on his hat anymore. Why

124
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: is Warren Crowmarty in the game?

125
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Come on?

126
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: Uh?

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mon Naylor, No, doubt about. Hey, the crow flies

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: at midnight, uh second deck into right field to make

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: it a five to three United States game over Canadate. Look,

130
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: and this is what we've talked about from the beginning, right,

131
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: is that when I said, okay, where where's your weakness?

132
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 4: Right?

133
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: This is the best lineup we've seen by the United States.

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: The starting pitching is great, right, I mean when we

135
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: tried out the starting pitches we have, whether it's Webb McLain, Schooble,

136
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: if he stays, if he goes skins, not a problem.

137
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: But the issue What did I say was the bullpen

138
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a heavy bullpen game every game

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: because you don't have guys who are gonna go seven innings. Right,

140
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: you know Skeens isn't gonna go seven. He's gonna throw

141
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: fifty pitches in the Pittsburgh Pirates are good, and Livy

142
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: dnn is gonna be on the phone going that's it,

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: that's it. Right, he's out, he's out. You gonna take

144
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: about No, No, she's training to be in the new bay

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Watch anymore. No, I think she's still No. I think

146
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: she cares. I think they're actually doing Baywatch at the

147
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: World Baseball when they.

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: Bring the theme song back.

149
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: To idu't be there, you know, No, that's that's friends.

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: You're doing the wrong. Yeah, but what did I say

151
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be the issue for the United States was

152
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna be the bullpen, And here they are in already

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: making their presence felt in this game with two home

154
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: runs giving up. The United States give up a lot

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: of home runs, ten home runs in twenty eight innings

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: so far in the WBC. So it's not like the

157
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: United States pitching has been great. Look, the starters have

158
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 1: been terrific. But this is what I was nervous about.

159
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: When you get to the bullpen and the bullpen's are

160
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: going to go five innings at least in every game.

161
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: This is what makes me nervous a little bit for

162
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the United States. Yeah, it's pretty insane. The uh I

163
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: mean the prodigious blast too. It's not cheap front row

164
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: home runs here. That just keep the ball in the park, man,

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: come on, work the plate a little bit. I don't

166
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: think they're using abs here, are they. They're not.

167
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: They're not going to the robots. But yeah, just I

168
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: mean that that was a no doubt or home run here.

169
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: But the margin for error for the United States has

170
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: just been so minimal here. You know, we talk about

171
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: whenever we do statistical surveys that three to five percent

172
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: error range. Yeah, no, no, we're we're real flirting with

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: danger at every turn. As much as I love get

174
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: them on, get them over, get them in baseball, a

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: couple of extra big flies on the US side, it

176
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: would be pretty nice here because the nickel and diming

177
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: is giving you a marginal lead here in the bottom

178
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: of the sixth.

179
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: So I'll have more on this coming up a bit again.

180
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Bottom of the sixth in the United States. Now clinging to

181
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: a five three. We started talking eight minutes ago. Hey

182
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: we're up five. Now we're clinging to a lead. Now

183
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: we're clinging to a five to three clinging. But let's

184
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: do something fun here. Let's give you the play of

185
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: the day right now. It's been a big day in

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: college basketball. To play the day, of course. Brought to

187
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: you by tire i Rack. For over forty years, tire

Speaker 1: mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com is the way

192
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Well, when you hit a buzzer beater,

193
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: when you hit a Kobe Bryant, it wasn't a great look,

194
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: but I still psychic buzzer beater. Anyway, you get to

195
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: be the play of the day, Tom more than an

196
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: Indianapolis no.

197
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: Chances gets hit. The ballers loose and it's alive.

198
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: There's a thing here and part of me and I

199
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: can't believe there's a part of me that that that

200
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: wants this. Maybe just a party, maybe just my liver,

201
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: but there's a part of me like, can I get

202
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: another crazy bad Jets play. I'm not asking for it.

203
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is your waist at the stop fail? Mary? No, No,

204
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, I really would like a really bad Jets play.

205
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: So at least when we play the fails and it's

206
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: something new, it's not the butt fumble for the five

207
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eighth times, but here's the meil Mary

208
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: for the one hundred and forty seventh time. I mean,

209
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: something new. At least it's something. I mean, I know

210
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, so why not have it happen and

211
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: just have something we can use on the show.

212
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: Well, it just means you're you're failing with less style.

213
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: Is that good or bad?

214
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Ah?

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: Okay, it's flying, I mean stopping right, But I mean

216
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: you're still failing. Your team still stinks, but you're you're

217
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: not having that play that defines the season necessarily the

218
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: same way. I guess that's progress. Yeah, I mean Gino's

219
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: coming to town. So maybe maybe on this second outing

220
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: he'll he'll give you something more than getting punched in

221
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: the face.

222
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Genus Smith is coming to town. Oh, Geno Smith is

223
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: coming down now. So with that out of the way,

224
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: we have to bring you the play of the day.

225
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: Burn. It's not just the first shot, it's the offensive rebound.

226
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: Brad Way.

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: Trying to do it himself because beheaded they will look

228
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 5: at it to make sure that it beat the clock.

229
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: But Jaden Bradley appears to have won it for Arizona,

230
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: the highlight of conference championship week just a few moments ago.

231
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: Jade and Bradley of Arizona hits the game winner fallaway

232
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: at the buzzer. So now Arizona into the Big Twelve

233
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: championship now after beating Iowa State, who had just hit

234
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: a big three to tie the game a couple moments ago. Look,

235
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: the excitement level of the NCAA tournament is going to

236
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: be unparalleled the last decade. It's just that that kind

237
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: of year that we're having. But man, I'll tell you what,

238
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Jaden Bradley does not get a good look. He is

239
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: deed up incredibly well. This is a Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant.

240
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find a way to get a shot off

241
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: and it's gonna go. And he dribbles to the right,

242
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have anywhere to go to the basket, and

243
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: he kind of stops in one motion fall away and

244
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: he hits it, and I just know what's gonna happen.

245
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: Mike Carmen, I'm gonna once again pick Arizona to go

246
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: to the final four of my bracket and be absolutely

247
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: disappointed when it doesn't happen. Yeah, but I can't have

248
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: an Arizona. I can't. I can't quit Arizona and Saint John's.

249
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna pick Saint John's. I can't quit

250
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: these teams, man, and I have to find a way

251
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: to do it. Man, it's like smoking. I gotta find

252
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: a way, but I can't. I'm like, oh, man, Arizona,

253
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: they're so good this year, and here they are on

254
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a high this and and Jayden Bradley is so good

255
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna find it. I'm gonna find a way

256
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: to pick Arizona again. They're gonna lose in the second round.

257
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I never learned. I never learned. Yeah.

258
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: And then when I don't pick them, they run deep

259
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 3: into the tournament. That's just generally the way it goes.

260
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 6: Uh.

261
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: And here's the thing though, if they do bow out early,

262
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: I have Arnie Spanier's phone number, and you can harass

263
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: him until you're blue in the face. Oh okay, I

264
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: call him and all of that stuff. Maybe maybe you

265
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: could go and key is car or do the tire

266
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: thing that you always threaten us with because it's his fall.

267
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: By the way they were playing on that absurd court,

268
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: whatever the hell that was.

269
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think after this year. I think

270
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: the when when they have a meeting, uh, you know,

271
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: whenever they well like whenever you have a big post meeting,

272
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: whenever you know, wherever you work and you put a

273
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: big event up and you didn't say okay, let's have

274
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: a meeting and talk about what went right and what didn't.

275
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: I got a feeling like if there's a big college

276
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: basketball post conference championship week meeting, you know everybody's gonna

277
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: sit around and the first thing's gonna be, Okay, are

278
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: we done with the floors? I think the floor thing

279
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: is not good. I think we have to move on.

280
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: We had like we had, we had one. We had,

281
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: we had one conference say hey, we're changing the floors

282
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: for the rest of the way. We can't have the

283
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: floors go. I think we've gone a little floor crazy

284
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: and let's just let's dial it back a bit for

285
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: next year. Is that first thing everybody in agreement? Okay,

286
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to other things now, like winning the

287
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: conference championship and going if you're in a mac so.

288
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: But I think right now, the number one thing you're

289
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna see is, yeah, we're gonna get rid of the floor.

290
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 6: Yeah.

291
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: I mean, unless it's gonna light up with each dep

292
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: you take. If you got the ball like it's got

293
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 3: a chip and it's gonna play musical notes like you're

294
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 3: on the giant piano and big I don't need it.

295
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh that was like, like what was it Roberts No, No, no, no,

296
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: was that like Billy Jean right when you when Michael

297
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: Jackson every every every spear he stepped on lit up. Yeah, okay, see.

298
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: If we do that and I can get on board that,

299
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: and now he's getting Now we start talking about the

300
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: rhythm with which a point guard is playing, and we

301
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: use our collective intellect to decide what in tune he's

302
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: playing with each like, like instead of showing you you know,

303
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: when you see the dots, here's where all the shots

304
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: have come from this half. Look at all these shots

305
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: from behind the three point like, it's let's retrace the

306
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: steps of the point guard and see where he hits

307
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: all through.

308
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:45,840

Speaker 1: just I just.

320
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: Lamed the dog ate your homework, and then you put

321
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: Arizona in for this year, they fail and they go

322
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: back on the list.

323
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there you know, you just made the list.

324
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: I already know him to do it with Saint John's.

325
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean I had last year. I felt so good

326
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: and then man, they just let me down so much.

00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: You were so angry.

328
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Rjie Lewis. R J Lewis just let me down.

329
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: Like we make a lot of predictions on the show.

330
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: We tried to get ahead of the curve then in

331
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: every respect, but when a game goes wrong, like that

332
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: was the first time I think he really took it personally.

333
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Kyler Murray yesterday when you were

334
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: mad that he signed with the Vikings.

335
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

336
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: I was like it like it was all out of spite,

337
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: as if they went out and they failed in that game.

338
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,680

402
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: It shouldn't United States baseball be kind of the equivalent

403
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 4: of Canadian hockey where it's like, how do they lose?

404
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,159

407
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: Canada and hockey. I mean, you know you never know sometimes.

408
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, well exactly it was a yeah, it was a

409
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 4: gag by the Canadians, but like, uh yeah because.

410
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Them USA bullpen, tm USA bullpen. That's what this is.

411
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: So basically America cannot produce a proper closer at this point.

412
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it is. We need to do it.

413
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: We need to do a have a big reality show

414
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: search for a closer, and you know, go through a

415
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: whole thing and people get roses and at the end, hey.

416
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 4: You're a closer, Well can't you just take can't you

417
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 4: just take like a really good starting pitcher and like

418
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: four of them and just like figure it out for

419
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: the ninth inning and get creative? I mean, where's the ingenuity?

420
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: Where's everything that you know? Where is that fire that

421
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: made the American hockey team pull this off? And that

422
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: I just it just seems like is it Also, isn't

423
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 4: every game like nineteen to two, every time I see

424
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: it crawling the bombs the screen like like someone's just

425
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,800

428
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: But I already know Pete. You you are more into

429
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280

431
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,119

432
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 4: You know, you know what, I would absolutely be just

433
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: as good. I mean, how hard can it really be?

434
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: You know, go out there, you know, swing at the

435
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 4: good pitches, don't swing at the bad pitches, and you'll

436
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: pay attention there not. I mean, how hard can this

437
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: really be?

438
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, you mean you're not going to come out in

439
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: your first idea is not going to be Hey, let's

440
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: do what they're doing went in college basketball. Let's make

441
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the ground light up with all kinds of crazy stuff on.

442
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: Let's make a crazy pattern for people watching this game.

443
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I know, Bob Ryan, but I didn't you

444
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 4: see bobera bye. Brian just called me a whimp on Twitter,

445
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: So I wow, yes, So apparently my photo sensitive triggered

446
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 4: brain waves have to tape it up next time and

447
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 4: so uh but yeah, so uh yeah, it's I don't

448
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 4: know why they do this, like seriously, like the Big

449
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: Twelve with this thing, like like like literally physically I'm

450
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: not capable of watching the Big Twelve tournament because of

451
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: this dumb pattern. But like why like it's is this

452
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: kind of a thing. It's like a media thing where

453
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: if you're on TV, you want people to notice your

454
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: haird or what you're saying, you know, because if you

455
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 4: you've got a good product, why are you trying to

456
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: distract from it? And obviously that Arizona Texas Tech game,

457
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Arizona Iowa State game was amazing and it's

458
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 4: it's kind of hard to watch when people are getting

459
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 4: headache seeing it.

460
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 3: Did they have to put one of those disclaimers up there,

461
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: like when the Strobe light Dance Club effects.

462
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 4: They should though, well, I will tell you this, they did,

463
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 4: and I just turned off to the Kansas Houston things.

464
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 4: They did do something with the lights, so it was

465
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: like a weird thing because niche and the lights were brighter.

466
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 4: Not to get really boring here, but like it was

467
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: really possible to watch, but they did something because I

468
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 4: think someone had to complain because it's much watchable right now.

469
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: All right now is what we've seen so far this week, Pete.

470
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: There's been more conversation. I feel like every year it

471
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: gets bigger and bigger, but this year, especially considering with

472
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio and what they've gone through, this year

473
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: with all their wins that metrics has just really just

474
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: sort of taken over everything. And you know, now we

475
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: kind of forget about wins and losses being important, and

476
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: I know, you know, following you on social media, you're

477
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: tweeting about metrics like every eight seconds for the tournament.

478
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 4: It drive me up a wall and like, look, it's

479
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: apples and oranges when it comes to football. But part

480
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: of the problem is like, look, Miami University didn't beat anybody,

481
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 4: it didn't play anybody, and so you can argue, well,

482
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: you know these teams wouldn't schedule them stuff. Well that's

483
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 4: not the point. It's you're not going off what could

484
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: have happened or might have happened. You're going off based

485
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 4: on you know, blind resumes, and like it's just not

486
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: fair that you know, could yes, it's impossible to go

487
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: thirty one and oh or whatever the FIO count was

488
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 4: before the ust the UMS, which is like a quad

489
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 4: ninety seven loss. And then you know, look at some

490
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: of these other teams who you know, they're playing tough games.

491
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: They're all playing Quad one, big tough, nasty games that

492
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: are you know, kind of make them more deserving to

493
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: be in and part of the problem becomes then, all right,

494
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, if you're a bubble team,

495
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: you probably don't deserve to be in a sixty eighteen field,

496
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 4: So muhu. But if you're really trying to get down

497
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: to it and say, okay, well, are we going to

498
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: judge this team that played a whole bunch of nasty

499
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: games or this other team that played a whole bunch

500
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 4: of absolutely nothing. I mean, Miami University really did not

501
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: beat anybody, but accurate, that's about That's it. That's the

502
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: one game that they won that was actually pretty good,

503
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: and that's it. And okay, if you're that good and

504
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: you get bounced out of the the mac fought quarterfinals,

505
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: all right, I mean, yeah, this should be a place

506
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: for Miami University. But meanwhile, you know the Mount West

507
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: tonight lous of New Mexico and San Diego State's probably

508
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: out and Mount West is probably one big conference. American's

509
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 4: not that great, but there that's probably one big conference.

510
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: So it's I get it. It just doesn't seem fair

511
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 4: that you can get everyone saying, well, why don't you

512
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 4: play tough games in the non conference? Well, this is why.

513
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 4: And to take it over to football, same sort of thing.

514
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: It's like everyone lets to argue, why don't you know

515
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 4: certain teams play, uh, you know good teams or why

516
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: do they play like Indiana as a bad non conference schedule? Well,

517
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: why do you think you get three wins? Okay, because

518
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: nobody at the end of the day this keeps looking

519
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: at the records, and you know that's all it tends

520
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 4: to matter.

521
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: To that end, beat r. We go to our old

522
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: consulting firm of Smith and Harmon. Here it's a TV show.

523
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: So is it Miami, Ohio? Far more entertaining than Bruce

524
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: Pearl clamors for his child and all.

525
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 4: This other year you don't, Yeah, you don't need twelve sec.

526
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 4: And then that's your point and the answer, and that

527
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: the thing it really bothers everyone is neither when it

528
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 4: comes to and so again part of the thing is, yes,

529
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: of course I run a football site and all that

530
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: basketball was my actual college basketball is actually my first

531
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 4: love way back in the day.

532
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 5: But so it is.

533
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 4: It is absolutely different. But it is amazing how everyone

534
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 4: has like different standards for how these things should be

535
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 4: done when it's based on judges. So part of the

536
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 4: problem is right now, there are teams out they're like

537
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 4: Texas and NC State and Missouri, which in smuh, you're

538
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 4: all probably in even though they're just dying down the stretch.

539
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: They've been awful, like, you know, going like two and

540
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 4: seven over the last when it really counts. But that

541
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 4: game three back in November, you know, and some Mali

542
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 4: class there the mohammads, Oh yeah, that game. Meanwhile, so okay,

543
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 4: so we're everyone's micro analyzing that one game that happened

544
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 4: in the Tropics for the third game the season back

545
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: on November eleventh orh whatever. In a thirty thirty five

546
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: game season. Meanwhile, college football plays twelve ish games and

547
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 4: not a single solitary soul remembered that Alabama got trucked

548
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: by Florida State in Week one. It's like, it's so

549
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: funny just how the memories and how these different sports

550
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 4: are really analyzed and scrutinized, and how they figure out

551
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: their tournaments at the end.

552
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: So what do you think, Pete, Now, yes, seeing this,

553
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: because we've had the twelve team playoff in the and

554
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: the selection process now for the largest tournament that we've

555
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: had in college football, we could college basketball bar from

556
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: college football. You say, you know what, this would alleviate

557
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: a lot of problems, right, like all the tournaments tank,

558
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: we're taking too many mid majors. Where should Miami Ohio

559
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: be in? What could you borrow from college football that

560
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: would make it better?

561
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: Well, the one weird, weird part about this is, like

562
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 4: college football, if you win, if you're a power for program,

563
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 4: and you win your regular season championship, you're probably going

564
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 4: to get in to while you're gonna get into the

565
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: you know, the conference championship to begin with. But I

566
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: think the answer to this is for basketball, is honor

567
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: regular season champions more because you've got these gimmicky tournaments

568
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 4: where you know, look, Miami University did go undefeated over

569
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 4: the regular season and in the conference conference season, and no,

570
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 4: you had one bad game where the very end and

571
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: a tight you know, pressure packs baallely had a bad

572
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 4: pass at the end. Okay, one bad night. You just

573
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: so happen to have it on what was it, Thursday

574
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 4: night as opposed to uh, you know, left you know, December,

575
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: and so it just doesn't seem right that Okay, we're

576
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 4: going to judge it based on this little three days

577
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: thing that these teams, these teams are having as opposed

578
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: to the entire season and suck. Davis is texted it,

579
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 4: tweeted this out a whole bunch of times. But like

580
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 4: them this ten pick anybody they want, they don't have

581
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: to take send the conference tournament champion. Now everyone does

582
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: send the conference tournament champion, but that would be kind

583
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: of the answer where you know, if it's an either or,

584
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 4: you send Miami Universe. The otherwise you're kind of crazy

585
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: if you're the SEC not to be like, hey, we're

586
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: gonna send Auburn. Okay, so there there's our there's our

587
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 4: conference representative, and then get twelve teams in. So there

588
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: are ways you could do this. So I would say,

589
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 4: just honor the regular season champion more and then the

590
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: conference tournaments then just become a data point as opposed

591
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 4: to the be all end off.

592
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it would be kind of cool in a

593
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: WWE inspired kind of thing. Smith and I also thought

594
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: that maybe uh, Auburn and Miami, Ohio should just be

595
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: paired up for one of the plans.

596
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. And see that was my

597
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: argument for the college football side, where I'm okay with

598
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 4: expansion in a certain way if if it's a playan

599
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 4: if it's not a you know, full line, we're expanding

600
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: the sixteen to it. But like this year, if you

601
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 4: had had Tulaine playing you know, BYU and James isn't

602
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: playing Notre Dame or something like this, Okay, there's you're

603
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 4: playing in these spots. So I do get the idea

604
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: of expansion where maybe you do expand it and have

605
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: just a massive, you know, first Tuesday, where you've got

606
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: all these teams that get just get all the one

607
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: big conferences out of the way. You know. I know

608
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: it's cute that you know, once in a while a

609
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: sixteen will be a one on the right day, and

610
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 4: maybe a fifteen will be a two. But for the

611
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: most part, if you really want the best tournament, just

612
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: just have them all have play a bigger play and

613
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: that's how you expand it. Rather than say we have

614
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 4: a ninety sixteen tournament and then you make it all equitable,

615
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: you have like one day where maybe you add like

616
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: six or seven more teams, because really, who are we

617
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: talking about is getting knocked out of this thing? Again,

618
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: we're arguing about a team that did not play anybody.

619
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: We're talking about a team that Auburn team that really

620
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 4: died down the stretch and has sixteen losses on the season,

621
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 4: and then other teams that just really don't belong in

622
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 4: the in the NCAA tournament, they don't really go. Who

623
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 4: cares they're going. They're not going to win the n

624
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: actual championship. And if you want the best tournament possible,

625
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 4: which is the whole goal of this thing, then you

626
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: find a way to do it. We do get the

627
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: actual best teams in there.

Speaker 3: And those two teams get to have a twenty four

646
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,840

651
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: it makes it a little nervous that something's gonna happen,

652
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: but everything turns out okay. In the end. It's special delivery.

653
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 6: Steve to say, Yeah, this update is gonna be the

654
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,360

723
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: eighth inning, Aaron Judge a nice running catch. Bryce terrang

724
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: a leap and grab at second base.

725
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: Say that again, you said something positive about Aaron Judge.

726
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, when something happens, I say what it is.

727
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't exaggerate it. I say exactly what happens. When

728
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: he makes a nice running catch. I say it. When

729
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: he grounds into a triple play against a JV high

730
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: school pitcher, I have to say it as well. I

731
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: can't just say stuff and exaggerate it just for effect.

732
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: I have to say what happened. Come on, man, that.

733
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 3: Triple play was one of the worst at bats we've

734
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 3: ever seen.

735
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: Grounding into a triple play too, Like that's man, that's

736
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: so United States batting in the top of the ninth inning.

737
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: They will go to the bottom of ninth at worst

738
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: with a two run lead over Canada. They move on

739
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: to the semifinal the World Baseball Classic with a win.

740
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: We'll have more in this game coming up in a

741
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: few minutes. However, today we got word that we're gonna

742
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: get another quarterback battle this summer. As to a tongue

743
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: of my we'll officially compete with Michael Pennix Junior for

744
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: their starting job with the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons gm Ian

745
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: Cunningham saying, definitively earlier today, two was coming in to

746
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: compete with Pennix for the starting job. And this is

747
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go. Right now. We knew this was

748
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: going to happen. We knew something was gonna come off here.

749
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: But we'll tell you what. Just like with Kyler Murray

750
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: and JJ McCarthy, Kyler Murray was brought in to be

751
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback. He's gonna be the number one

752
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: quarterback week one, a little bit different circumstances. Two was

753
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: gonna be the quarterback Week one for the Falcons right now.

754
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: There's some similarities in that the Falcons brought in to

755
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: take the job, right They brought him in to say,

756
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: you know what, Michael Pennix is not working out. This

757
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: is a different front office coach situation, a different hierarchy

758
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: than the one that drafted Michael Pennock junior. They have

759
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: no loyalty to them. All they have in Michael Pennix

760
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: Junior is this is a guy that was potentially talented,

761
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: maybe was overdrafted, can't stay on the field. So yes,

762
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: Towour was brought in too to be a guy to

763
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: potentially start, but they didn't bring him into sit the bench.

764
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: They have no loyalty to Michael Pennick Junior. But the

765
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: biggest thing is gonna be Pennix is gonna hit this

766
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: from a bit of from a really big disadvantage, and

767
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: that he's still gonna be coming back from injury. He's

768
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: a guy that's been dinged up for the last few

769
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: years for the most part, and now coming off the

770
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: big season ending injury that he had, he says, Oh,

771
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm coming back from his left ACL surgery

772
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: in November. I'll be ready for week one. You're talking

773
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: about an entire offseason of reps that are gonna go

774
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: to Tua in the new offense and everything else. Is

775
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: Michael Penick suddenly gonna show up and out play Tua

776
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: in camp when he's not even gonna take snaps. That's

777
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Tua's gonna be the quarterback week one,

778
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: and maybe Penix gets back on the field at some point.

779
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: If Tua is bad, if Tua is good, Penix is

780
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: not gonna see the field again. For the Atlanta Falcons,

781
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: first off, it was good to see Ian Gunningham get

782
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: out there and get and deliver all this news, you know,

783
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: not like he decided to hold up a sign saying

784
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: and we got to keep our picks hahaa.

785
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 3: Bears in that process with Matt Ryan and everything that

786
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: went on there. But in this case, you got a

787
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: guy coming back off his third acl you gambled, and

788
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: at this point, if he gets back on the field

789
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: eventually and he's ready for when two inevitably struggles, great,

790
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: But there's no chance in hell he's beating him out right.

791
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: What's he gonna do? Do it on the whiteboard? Yeah,

792
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm a better student of the game, look at me. No,

793
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: he's gotta be able to play physically. Are you gonna

794
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: be able to do everything you need to come August

795
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: and into September? That would be miraculous. Again, it's not

796
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: a first go round with this. He's coming back off

797
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 3: his third and anything they say about, hey, this guy's

798
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: on track or whatever, else. Okay, we're in March, but

799
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 3: to think that we've advanced to that level. Yeah, let's

800
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 3: let's get a quarterback out there that's gotta have the

801
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 3: fluidity and mobility side to side in the pocket, and

802
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: they're gonna come back off a eight nine months. Man,

803
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: that just doesn't make sense to me.

804
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

805
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: No, And here's the thing is I wonder if this

806
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: is exactly how it's going to be presented, right they

807
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: don't want to present it already here we are before

808
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: the draft that Yeah, Tua is gonna be the start

809
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: oft ok all of a sudden, now we're in a

810
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: huge controversy and it's an everyday thing. Hey, they're gonna

811
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: battle it out. Okay, well we kind of knew that,

812
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: so now you know what it's asked an answered, and

813
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: we know where the reality this is gonna be. But

814
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean, really, guys don't play in games anymore. How

815
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: is Tua You have to be really bad to be

816
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback of a team and lose that

817
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: battle in the summer. You gotta be really bad to

818
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: lose a battle in the summer when guys don't really

819
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: play in the games. And with Tua getting all the reps.

820
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen. And I wonder if it's more

821
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: that if you look at Pennix almost like he's a

822
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: rookie again, like, okay, here's a new regime in they

823
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: all know what Tua can do. He's the veteran that's

824
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: brought in here to be a starting quarterback. Though maybe

825
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: he's the bridge guy. Maybe he turns out to be

826
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: the long term answer. But Pennix, it's almost like you

827
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: have to treat it like a rookie, like it's okay,

828
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: he comes in and maybe but but he's a rookie

829
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: that maybe will get his chance, not a rookie that

830
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: at some point he's gonna play. He's a first round pick.

831
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 1: He's a rookie that maybe will get his chance. That's

832
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: kind of how Atlanta is gonna be looking at this,

833
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: and that's how this, this this sham uh battle is

834
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: gonna go too. Is gonna have the gig and if

835
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: he plays well, he's gonna keep it. And if not,

836
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: then at some point when he's healthy and he's back

837
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: in he learns the offense and he's had him as

838
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: much time, then Pennix will get a chance to maybe

839
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: play at some point during the season.

840
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I don't think there's any chance off

841
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: the jump that we have a legitimate battle, but hey,

842
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: if that's how you have to position it. Uh So,

843
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: everybody feels good about themselves, that's all finding good. But

844
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 3: for TUA, go out and do the job. You got

845
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: plenty of weapons, and you got a coach that really

846
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: likes lefties with pop gun arms, So go get it. Yeah,

847
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 3: I tell you what, only have to run three yard

848
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 3: patterns and turn around because that's all he's gonna throw, and.

849
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: Go get it.
