00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: All right? Worry now, all right.

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: Cal Rawley was talked to after the game.

122
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: Obviously, the marriage lose a heartbreaker.

123
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: They were up three to one, give up a three

124
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: run home run in the bottom of the seventh to

125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: George Springer. They lose four to three. Uh, he had

126
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: a home run in the game. And and you know,

127
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: they would ask basically about whether this season was a failure.

128
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: You know, the Mariners are the only team not to

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: win a pennant. Forget about, you know, winning a World Series,

130
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: but actually winning a pennant to go to the World Series.

131
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: That's what the pennant would be if they would have

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: won yesterday. And remember they won the first two games

133
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: in Toronto, so they had to lose four out of

134
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: five not to make it to the World Series. And

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: he was here was his answer when they asked him

136
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: about the season. He said it very quietly, didn't.

137
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 7: He You know, I hate to use the word failure,

138
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 7: but it's a failure.

139
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: And that's what we expected just to get to the

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: World Series.

141
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: Win World Series.

142
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: And that's you know what the bar is, and the

143
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 6: standard is, and you know that's what we want to

144
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: hold ourselves accountable to.

145
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 8: But yeah, it's uh, it hurts.

146
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: All right.

147
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: There's a real time answer, in a real time gut

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: feeling and a real time sadness to it. And I

149
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: believe him. He feels it's a failure. He feels they

150
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: were let down. We were right there. You mentioned that.

151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: You go in there, you still too in Toronto. You're

152
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: feeling good about that. The odds are in your favorite

153
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: you're up in Game seven, you hit a home run,

154
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 5: and to lose it feels like a failure. But this

155
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: is where I disagree with him. I think time will reveal.

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: Right now, he's in the middle of it. You ask

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: him immediately, you put a mic in his face after

158
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 5: a tough, tough Game seven loss, chance to go to

159
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: World Series. Of course he's gonna say it feels a failure.

160
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 5: But I disagree. And the reason why is the specific

161
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 5: sport baseball is hard. Baseball is unique in that it's

162
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 5: a team sport, but it's the most individualized team sport, right,

163
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: and so many guys are considered greats who don't even

164
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 5: then even sniff a World Series opportunity so many guys

165
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: are great who maybe got to the World Series.

166
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: We didn't have it.

167
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: We say sometimes a lot of people believe Barry Bond's

168
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: the greatest player ever.

169
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: Doesn't have it.

170
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: Obviously he went to World Series, but he doesn't have one.

171
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 5: Mike Trout for some year, man, where is he one

172
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: of the all time greats, doesn't have one as well

173
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: and has not even made the postseason and the eons.

174
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 5: Baseball is just different like that, where you can be remarkable,

175
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: your team can have a really good run, they can

176
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 5: have an incredible season, and it doesn't have to hinge

177
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: on simply did you win a title. Basketball is like

178
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 5: that because you have a Steph Curry, a Lebron and

179
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 5: his prime, a Kobe and his prime.

180
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: You fill in the blank, and usually with that, that's two.

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 5: That's a huge, that's twenty, maybe even forty percent, depending

182
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: on you look on it. Because the guy plays offense

183
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: and he's played defense. He can be that Spectacula forty

184
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 5: two or the forty eight minutes. And if you have Jordan,

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: you have Lebron, you have Shaq, you expect to win

186
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 5: a title in the next ten years, depending on how

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: long they're with your team. So it's a little bit

188
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 5: different if you're the Patrick Mahomes and then you feel like,

189
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: we got Andy Reid, we got Patrick Mahomes, we got

190
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: a few of the same pieces. We expect to win titles,

191
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: just a failure if we don't. Baseball is just tricky

192
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 5: like that Cubs sold out for eons people they didn't

193
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 5: win for a hundred years or whatever it was. The

194
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 5: Red Soux didn't win for eons and they still consider love.

195
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: People love them, They go to the games, and obviously

196
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: it sucks and you want to win, but it's not

197
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: considered a failure. Baseball is just a completely different sport

198
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: in that regard. So again, in the real time moment,

199
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 5: I totally fully expect him to feel that way, but

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: I think as time goes by he'll feel differently because

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: it's a unique sport in that you don't have to

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: just win to still be considered great. You don't have

203
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: to have World Series titles to be considered great. You

204
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 5: can be great. A team can be really good and

205
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: not be penalized as you will be if you're a

206
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 5: great quarterback in the NFL. If you don't go to

207
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl and you're a great quarterback. You can

208
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 5: get penalized if you're a star player in the NBA,

209
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: you never win a title or get to the finals,

210
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 5: you can be penalizing be Dean for that. It's different

211
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: in baseball. So I don't think it's a fil I

212
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: think he's gonna look back and feel differently at some point.

213
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I disagree. It was a failure.

214
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: And in this standpoint, when you it's one thing if

215
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: you're they had a really good team all year, they

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: did all these things that they want to accomplish, and

217
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: then they were up to all It wasn't like you

218
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: got swept and you were overmatched. And then people say,

219
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: well they lucked into the playoffs and they really weren't

220
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: that good. No, people really thought that they were that good. Yeah, okay,

221
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: and that's what I'm saying. So you did and then

222
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: they win the first two games. The only way you

223
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: don't win is you gotta lose four of the next five.

224
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Three of those five games are in your own building.

225
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: Do you see what I'm saying. So when they look

226
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: at it, it's hard. It was like I told you

227
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: before with the Knicks and why Tims got fired. You

228
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: beat the Celtics, the defending champs. Now Indiana's coming to

229
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: your crib, and you go, everybody in New York, the

230
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: Knicks are going to the finals.

231
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

232
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: They beat the Celtics and now they just got to

233
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: beat the Pacers. Pacers beat them last year in seven games.

234
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: You remember the Knicks had some injuries whatever that Pacers won.

235
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: This year, you're up by fourteen or whatever, it was,

236
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: sixteen with forty three to go, and you choke down

237
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: that game. Then you don't even fight back in Game

238
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: two at home. You lose that game. And I'm telling you,

239
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: if you go ask people and say, well, last year

240
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: the Knicks got to the Conference finals for the first

241
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: time and eons, and my god, is that a great season?

242
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: That No, that was a failure because something was sitting there.

243
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: And that's why I think the Mariners could obviously look

244
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: at it.

245
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: They weren't. They weren't.

246
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: They didn't get blown out ten nothing. In Game seven.

247
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: They were up three to one with needing seven outs, right,

248
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: six eight outs because it was in the seventh inning

249
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: with one out, so they were eight outs away from

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: going to the World Series for the very first time

251
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: in their franchise history. You think Kyle Riley is gonna

252
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: hit sixty home runs again? Like this is one of

253
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: those moments and situations you want to capitalize because everything

254
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: worked out for you. And then you go, oh, we're

255
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: gonna get sixty on runs again next year. We're gonna

256
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 3: have this go. Right, Are the Rangers gonna be banged

257
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: up and we're gonna win a division?

258
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: You know all these other things You start to look

259
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: at and you know.

260
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: How hard it is because you've seen the Yankees with

261
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 3: their payroll haven't won a World Series since two thousand

262
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: and nine. It ain't automatic that you get to go

263
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: back next year and you're in that position. That's why

264
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: for him to say it's a failure, I know it

265
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: sounds harsh, but it is a failure for Seattle.

266
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 5: And I absolutely hear you. But for so many reasons.

267
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 5: That's why I think he's gonna eventually look at it.

268
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: We talk about Seattle and how they haven't done much,

269
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: they haven't had great seasons, they haven't had and not

270
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: to mention him personally a historic personal season, which in

271
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 5: baseball is a great ride for the fan base. Right,

272
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 5: they take this ride with him, They go through a

273
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: home run setting most home runs for a catcher, most

274
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: home runs for a switch hitter, most home runs in

275
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 5: franchise history, all of those things matter. Is a part

276
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: of the season and telling you fans himself, they're gonna

277
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 5: look back as they get further away and be like, man,

278
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 5: that was an incredible season. It sucks that we didn't

279
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: get there, and that burns for a while and burns forever.

280
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 5: But the idea that the season was a failure, I

281
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 5: don't think he's gonna feel that way as time goes by.

282
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: You put a mic in his face in that moment.

283
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely he's gonna say that. Fans might feel that, but I.

284
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Think i'd rather hear him say that if I was

285
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: a fan, rather than rather than Yanni is saying when.

286
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: They lost, oh, it wasn't a failure.

287
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 3: We you know what was his exact thing, Rob g

288
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: He was just kind of poo pooing the hole and

289
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: nobody lost or whatever like that whole notion. I'm not

290
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: buying that, because there is we do keep track of

291
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: who wins and who nobody loses. You know, yeah, steps

292
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: to success, which just no, you lost. You know, Doc

293
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: Rivers could sit there and go, what did he say? Oh,

294
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how many people lost that many games?

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, worst of all time? That was what?

296
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: Right?

297
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Doc?

298
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 4: What was making up.

299
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 5: Excuses for him? He was basically saying, you know how

300
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 5: hard it is to even get to the playoff.

301
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, right, yea more than half the

302
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: league makes the playoffs?

303
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 6: Doc?

304
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 4: What part of you or what party do we understand?

305
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: All right?

306
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

307
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: nine nine six sixty three sixty nine? Was cal Raley

308
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: right when he called the Mariner season of failure?

309
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: Or or not? We'll continue that conversation next with you.

310
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: It is the odd couple on a We got a

311
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: sinis to look on your face on a trash Talking Tuesday.

312
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: A radio show that encourages you and.

353
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: It was a failure. They were up three two to

354
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: oh after winning the first two.

355
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: They lost four of the last five, including Game seven,

356
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: which they led three to one going into the bottom

357
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: of the seventh inning.

358
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,920

359
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,200

Speaker 7: Thanks for taking the call.

363
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: Listen.

364
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 7: Mariners, you know, they had a Sissifie situation right where

365
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 7: they rolled the ball all the way to the top

366
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 7: of the hell, you know, just almost there, only to

367
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 7: have it come tumbling back down all the way to

368
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 7: the bottom. I can't agree with Roley though at the

369
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 7: season it was a failure based on when's the last

370
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 7: time the Mariners were in a championship conversation relevant? You know,

371
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 7: has it been since each ye row retired. What are

372
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 7: we talking about here? This is building towards something that Yes,

373
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 7: and I know that second place is first loser, but

374
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 7: did they have championship aspirations coming into the season.

375
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: Well, when they were up two old, you don't think

376
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: they thought they were going to the World Series. I'm

377
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: just asking you, when you're up two old, two road

378
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: winds to start.

379
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 7: Bro point taking. Yes, but we see these swings all

380
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 7: the time. It's for yeah, it's you, you're up to oh,

381
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 7: you have the commanding lead, but that it's not intermental.

382
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 7: Two oh is different than three to zero, and a

383
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 7: lot of times teams can't come back and swing the momentum.

384
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 7: So it's heartbreaking, self defeating. You know, it's a morale crusher,

385
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 7: all of those. But to say the entire season is

386
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 7: a fairly I just think that's you know that that's

387
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 7: a bridge too far based on what the expectations worthing that.

388
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: Andre, real quick, Andre, real quick. You know what kind

389
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 3: of guy I am. I'm the kind of guy who

390
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 3: will let a young kid get a break on radio

391
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: his first time. They're trying to pay me out as

392
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: I'm a bad guy. Andre, you don't buy into that,

393
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: do you.

394
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,239

Speaker 6: Mark Calvin Rob, I saw you guys, who'll be at

482
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 6: the game tonight? What's going on?

483
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's funny.

484
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: I was there, my morning show was and later on

485
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 5: I went to grab some food and write at Fixings,

486
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 5: and I did see you bother You were there early

487
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: as heck.

488
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 6: Man, I was there early. But I guess you know,

489
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 6: like Lebron James, Rob isn't going to show up on

490
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 6: opening night.

491
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: Some of us have a national radio show on for.

492
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 6: I'm just saying that is true. You know what, you are,

493
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 6: an all eighty two gamer type of host. So all Lebron,

494
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 6: I mean this sky Attica injury that he suddenly had

495
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 6: this fight not even working out as a little mysterious.

496
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 4: Yes, that that was really mysterious, because what is the deal?

497
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 4: I mean? Is this his pride?

498
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: Because if he sees where the franchise is going, and

499
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's like a preemptive strike, you know

500
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: what I mean to say, Well, let's see how they

501
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: start without me. You know what I mean, since I'm

502
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: not the focal point anymore?

503
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 4: Is that is that what we're feeling?

504
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: No, Rob, I think it's an actual injury, or I

505
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: don't think he would do that because one luc at

506
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: Dodgers is ready to you know, take the keys of

507
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 6: the franchise and lead the team because he's in his prime.

508
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 6: He's Luke at Dodgers, and he's going to be even

509
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 6: better and improved this season. So it is a real injury.

510
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 6: But I think, you know, there's legitimate concerns on how

511
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 6: it would happen, what the rehab would look like. I mean, guys,

512
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 6: they haven't given a time table other than he's going

513
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 6: to be evaluated at some point, you know, the next

514
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 6: week or so. But that doesn't mean he's going to

515
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: be clear. That just means okay, he may or may

516
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 6: not get permission to start doing some encore work, and

517
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 6: as of now, he's only done individual works. So this

518
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 6: could be a preview of many other injuries they asked

519
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 6: to manage during his twenty third season.

520
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 5: It is weird. I've dealt with saiatica. I deal with

521
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 5: it at times, but you usually can't project out right.

522
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: It's just like I'm having a bad day or two

523
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: or a bad few days. It's not like a you know,

524
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to be out three four weeks. It's not

525
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: one of those types of injuries. So I read that

526
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: that was strange. But let me ask you this, even

527
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 5: without him, do they have enough bringing in Marcus Smart,

528
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: bringing in DeAndre Ayton to go with you know, Luke

529
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 5: in the best shape of his life. Do they have

530
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: enough to be good for the next handful of weeks

531
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 5: till Lebron is back?

532
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 4: Hopefully?

533
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 6: I think they have enough with or without Lebron to

534
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 6: be the fourth seed in the West half home court

535
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 6: advantage of the playoffs. But wow, when you're looking. When

536
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 6: you're looking, even in best case scenario, if Lebron getting back,

537
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 6: that's not enough to unseat the defending chance with the

538
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 6: Oklahoma City under They got most of their core, if

539
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 6: not entire back. The Denver Nuggets, they have a better

540
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 6: supporting cast than that around Nicole Yoka. Shamal Murray is healthy.

541
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 6: The Rockets they got Kevin Durant. Yeah, for Van Vleet

542
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 6: has an injury, but am and Thompson is a great

543
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 6: two way talent. Aburn Shangoon is an emerging big and

544
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 6: so I think that there is a stressker. So the

545
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 6: second tier are the dark horses, the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors.

546
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 6: I think out of those teams, the Lakers surprisingly actually

547
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 6: are less vulnerable. Yes, there's questions about lebron serability, but

548
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 6: the Warriors they have a lot of guys past their

549
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 6: thirties that they're going to have. Clippers, the Clippers always

550
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 6: have injuries. They have to worry about Kawhi Leonard, now

551
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 6: Bradley Peel. So I think with the Lakers it's really

552
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 6: just about worrying if Lebron is or is not healthy.

553
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 6: And while he is important, I think Luca Dodgers is

554
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 6: going to win MVP this season. He's in better shape,

555
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 6: he's going to have a larger workload, and he's still

556
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 6: only twenty seven years old. So what you saw with

557
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 6: him leading the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals is

558
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 6: the kind of version I think you'll see with Luca this.

559
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not so sure.

560
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 3: I know you want to discount the Joker, but I

561
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 3: think with a supporting.

562
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: Cast, those will be He's always going to be in

563
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: the mix there for the the MVP.

564
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, so, is Brownie a part of

565
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: the rotation with the Lakers?

566
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 6: Actually, because he has an ankle injury, so he's already

567
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 6: out of the rotation.

568
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: Okay, if he was healthy, is he going to be

569
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: in the rotation this year.

570
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 6: I'm not serious, in all seriousness. I don't think you know,

571
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 6: he might be ninth, ten to eleven.

572
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: Guy.

573
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 6: I think the rotation players Lebron, Luca, Austin Reeves, DeAndre

574
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 6: and Aayton Gaye, Vincent Marcus Smart really at Shamra and

575
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: that's probably about it, and baby Jake Laurravia. I think

576
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 6: everyone else are probably going to get healthy scratches and

577
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 6: the only time that they play is going to blow out,

578
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 6: loss or win.

579
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 4: How about Austin Reevez, he was exposed.

580
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 3: A lot of people were like, he's not good enough

581
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: to be your third option.

582
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 4: We saw him in the postseason.

583
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: I mean, does he have something to do to re

584
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: establish himself and have people look at him differently?

585
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 4: Because that was glaring to a lot of people.

586
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 6: Rob one hundred percent, because I think what we've said

587
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 6: with Austin Reeves is he's shown he can be good

588
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 6: enough to be a third option, but can't he do

589
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 6: it consistently every single game? And as we saw in

590
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 6: the playoffs, his body wore down, he was struggling with

591
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 6: double teams. There's also questions on whether he and Luka

592
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 6: Dacic can co exist together. Because they both are most

593
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 6: effective when they have the ball in their hands. Neither

594
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 6: player are the greatest defenders, but I think there's gonna

595
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 6: be more success here because Marcus Smart's a great defender.

596
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 6: Same thing with Gabe Vince, and they can take care

597
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 6: of the prone in their defense. But I've seen, even

598
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 6: though it's only preseason, good chemistry with Luka Doxic and

599
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 6: Austin Reeves where I don't think it's just gonna be

600
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 6: Muka hoisting shots up and playing Austin Iso ball. And

601
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 6: same thing with Austin Reeves. The fact they have DeAndre

602
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 6: as a pick and roll partner and improved free point

603
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: shooting is good to open up the floor. So I

604
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 6: do think that Austin Reeves. Actually, I'm not gonna say

605
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 6: he's going to win Most Improved Can't Award, but he

606
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 6: could be in the mix because you're gonna see I

607
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 6: think twenty four points a night for me.

608
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 4: I don't think.

609
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: I don't think he can win it because I think

610
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: he's been good enough and that people kind of had

611
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: that expectation for him now, so like, how can he

612
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: win it? It's not like this is two years ago him.

613
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 5: I think people expect that from him now, I want

614
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 5: to see that from him. Mark Funky Comedina, our guests here,

615
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: let me let me go here, God forbid, Mark, we

616
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 5: talk about the Eastern Conference. There's really the least in

617
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: conference right now with Boston being banged up, not the

618
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 5: same Halla Burdon out.

619
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: Is it Cleveland to lose?

620
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: Is it?

621
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 4: Giannis finally gets back to the Nis.

622
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 5: We'll go into the Knicks. You know, does don't sleep

623
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 5: on Orlando, don't sleep on Piston. What's going on in

624
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 5: the Pistons East right now where we can talk to,

625
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 5: West is clearly the better conference for sure, without a doubt,

626
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: super deep.

627
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 4: But what about the East? What are you? Who are

628
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: you looking at?

629
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 7: Yeah?

630
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 6: I think there's really only two tiers. It's the Cleveland Cavaliers,

631
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 6: New York next, and then everyone else has an outside

632
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 6: shot only if there's major injuries. So those tiers with

633
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 6: the Bomps, Orlando, Magic, Detroit so everyone else aren't going

634
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 6: to be serious contenders. But I think it's going to

635
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 6: be clevel when they have their guys back. Darius Garland,

636
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 6: Donovan Mitchell, healthier, Evan Bob Is I think going to

637
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 6: be set to take another leap offensively because of how

638
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 6: great Kenny Atkinson is as a coach, and also they're

639
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 6: really going to try to get him more involved talking

640
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 6: to his trainer own simple as he was saying that, Uh,

641
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: you know, it's on him to be more vocal, be

642
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 6: more demonstrative, because even though Donvan Mitchell is a very

643
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 6: legitimate All Star threat as a scorer and playmaker, and

644
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: he can be as good as he is scoring as

645
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 6: he is as a rim protector. Uh, they're going to

646
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 6: be unstoppable because they'll always have that flop threat. But

647
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 6: it's on him to be more aggressive, and I think

648
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 6: they'll take that next step.

649
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 5: I should ask you this real quick, rod ahead, how

650
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: long will Yannis be a Buck?

651
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: All year?

652
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 6: You know what I'm wrong? I thought that he was

653
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 6: going to ask out this summer. I think he doesn't

654
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 6: have it in him to ask for a trade, even

655
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 6: if he has them dissatisfaction with things. So I think

656
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 6: that he will remain a book and the Bucks are

657
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 6: never going to trade him unless they hear that demand outright.

658
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 6: And don't think that's going to happen.

659
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: No doubt.

660
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: Last thing, are we going to hear anything from the

661
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: Clippers and the commissioner question?

662
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: No, I just said, it's been dragging on. I don't know.

663
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if the commissioner really can put sanctions

664
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: on a guy who's so rich and the.

665
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah and all that, like what, But I just

666
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: can't see that happening.

667
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, all sir, weekends definitely happened into it, though. I

668
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 6: don't think there's going to be any ruling after that.

669
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: I think the president, with NBA investigations former Sons owner

670
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 6: Robert Sarver that took about nine months, expect the same timeline,

671
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 6: so it could be next summer. But if they find evidence,

672
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 6: and that's the key thing, it's about what they can prove.

673
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 6: I think that you'll get a multimillion dollar fine loss

674
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 6: of draft pics. But I don't think anything other than that.

675
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 6: So in other words, I expect the punishment to be

676
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 6: a flap.

677
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 5: On the risk five million dollars in a second round

678
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: pick something easy like that, and you.

679
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 4: Have to eat at the concession stand there.
