1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Hello and welcome Awaken Jake, myself, Jake Story, Ellie, David 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Mendelssohn as we talk about the wide world of sports, 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: couple flyer, baseball moves and signings. Justin Verlander Inner Circle 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer greesa Young's he is with your San 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants as they round in to form their off 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: season talk about that. I did get a good chuckle. 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: I just I clicked on an article that was grading trades, 8 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: and it's funny how they landed on their answers. 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: The Gavin Lux trade was bizarre. 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: I kind of want to see if I have more 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: thoughts on that. I'm not sure yet. Well, mention Michael Lorenzen, 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's an arm that'll get used. We 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: will not talk about Drew Rasmus is extension. 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: Rules are rules. 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: Because there's also a football mecca of sorts, wild Card weekend, 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: the football semi finals. As we all get through the 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: next couple days. If you're a Cali person, I feel bad. 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to say I was being goofy on 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: talking baseball. I was being a little goofy. I'm always 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: a little goofy. But the Fires are like you like, 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: remember Forever fires. I think one of our investor guys 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: his house is like, well, yeah, so scary. So if 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: you know anyone out out there, uh definitely you probably 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: checked in, But check in. It's a pretty wild and 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: if you're someone looking to get away for a little bit, 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: that's kind of more my lane. And that's what we'll 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: be doing here for a little bit. So uh, let's 28 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: hit the baseball high and tight, Cuz again it's it's 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: a legendary football wins this weekend unless Bragman signs. Justin 30 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: Verlander signs with the San Francisco Giants for one year 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars. What I was laughing at seconds ago 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: I clicked on ESPN's I don't know. I just like 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: to do a peruse of ESPN and the Ethnic before 34 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: we get cruising, just to make sure I haven't missed anything. 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: And I was laughing because this is Bradford Doolittle and 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: David Schoenfield working together, Kelly Collabo, and they gave grades 37 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: to the Giants, to Justin Verlander and the Tigers who 38 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: weren't involved in the transaction. They gave the Giants an A, 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: they gave Verlander a C and they gave the Tigers 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: an f which I didn't even know. I didn't even 41 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: know how connected we were. There a couple things. Let's 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: check off some baseball layoff layups. No such thing as 43 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: a bad one year deal. I would counter that it's 44 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: a bad one year deal. That's kind of your answer. 45 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: And man, Justin Verlander, who's got one of the prettier 46 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: baseball references you will find for a picture. He's coming 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: off his worst season. It is interesting thing he got 48 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: an injury. Before that injury, he was pitching pretty decently. 49 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: So if he comes in healthy, I think you can 50 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: expect him to kind of be the mid to low 51 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: threes era pitcher he's been the past couple of years. 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: Could changing leagues help him? Could San Francisco's ballpark help 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: him in some of their defense? 54 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: Maybe? 55 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: I think it's mostly gonna come down to if the 56 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: forty two year old on February twentieth, how healthy is that? 57 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: Being said? 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: The one year contract thing for a pitcher that could 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: be Justin Verlander. I think you like it, even if 60 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: it's just the old bulls at spring training and we 61 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: get stories about Logan Webb learned this from Justin Verlander. 62 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: And Keaton win added some zip to his fastball from Verlander. 63 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Not exactly how it works. I mean, you get one 64 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: of the most experienced pitchers all time, one of the 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: best pitchers of the last two years. 66 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: I was just laughing. 67 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: I saw I think it was dr Who a post 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: of all the leaders since in the two thousands. It's 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: an interesting way to look at things. 70 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: Pool hosts has a lot Juan Pierre is. 71 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: Your steels king in the two thousands, and then it's like, 72 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: sure's er Verlander. 73 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: There's a couple other oddballs in there. That was fun. 74 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: Mike trout ops people forget about him if they can 75 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: tap into something from Justin Verlander. Hell, even twenty twenty three, 76 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: he was twenty seven starts with a three to two two. 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: He was actually a little slightly worse in Houston Mets. 78 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,559 Speaker 1: Justin Verlander was sixteen starts to a three to one five. 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: And I remember that whole thing being like it didn't 80 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: feel clean, like it didn't like right. 81 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: Just felt like like nothing. 82 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,559 Speaker 1: Right, Like it didn't feel like Verlander was doing good. 83 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 3: And he missed time to an injury while with the Mets. 84 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: So he's a year removed. 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: So from twenty seven starts, one hundred and sixty two innings, 86 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: a three. 87 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: To two two era. 88 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: So if you get that for one year, fifteen million. Absolutely. 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: Uh. 90 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: Last year more recently, landed at seventeen starts, a five 91 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: four eight, ninety innings pitched. You know, some of the 92 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: numbers down. Again, he was good to start, got hurt 93 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: and it came down. No jokes to be made here. 94 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: His high school is Goochland High School in Virginia, so 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: old dominion, same as Benny Pascentino, I believe, I believe so. 96 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: And you know one of the great games he always 97 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: play is what are what are you asking for Justin Verlander? 98 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: If the San Francisco Giants are asking Justin Verlander to 99 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: be there too next year, I'd be a little concerned 100 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: technically and again I think this could get shimmied and shook. 101 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: They have him slotted in the back end of their rotation. 102 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: They have Logan Webb as stable as a pitcher. 103 00:05:58,680 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: As you can get. 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Robbie Ray who only had seven starts last year, but 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: again he should be more built up and be more 106 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: than those seven starts at least. Jordan Hicks, who made 107 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: twenty starts last year one oh nine innings pitched. Hopefully 108 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: he can jump up to maybe like the one thirty 109 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: range Kyle Harrison, the young lefty was kind of hunting 110 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: hunting in a lot of his starts. He either had 111 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: it or he did it. And then justin Verlander. And 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: so you have some depth pieces between trist and Beck, 113 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: Heat and Win as I mentioned Hayden, show me your 114 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: bird song Land and Roupe that. Yeah, hey, there could 115 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: be BBD. I'll ask you a question, if you don't mind, please, 116 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: Who was the biggest piece the Yankees traded to get 117 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: Juan Soto former Yankee Michael King? Where did Michael King 118 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: learn his. 119 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: Curveball from Corey Klueber, So Corey klueber. 120 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: Brief stint with the Yanks, there there can be ripple 121 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: effects of bringing an all time great pitcher that. I 122 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: hope Giants fans are telling those stories in a couple 123 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: of years or even this year, and they might get 124 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: something out of him. So you have to if you're 125 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: a Giants fan, like the a in the article said, 126 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I really like this for him. I wonder what else 127 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: of a market was for them. Apparently the Tigers got 128 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: an f out of this one. If he was willing 129 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: to sign there. The other thing with him insures there 130 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: what do they want to do? Justin Verlander has made 131 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars playing baseball. He was gonna go 132 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: wherever he wanted. If someone offered him fourteen mil. I 133 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: think he would have been fine with that to go 134 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: to another team. He apparently is kind into San Francisco. 135 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: Is there a Buster Posey effect? Haven't seen that article yet. 136 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: Does he believe in what's going on? Does he like 137 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: pitching at a pitcher's ballpark? 138 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: You know? Could that help him out? We will see. 139 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: The NL West is becoming daunting and the San Diego 140 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: story continues to feel like it's getting sad, although they 141 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: still have a lot of talent on that roster. But 142 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: the Giants and d Backs are continuing to kind of 143 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: build their teams out. The NL West is going to 144 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: be a blood bath of sorts. And you have to think, 145 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, of the Padres, Diamonbacks, and Giants, one of 146 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: those teams is gonna have a tough year next year. 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know who it is. I I'd have 148 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: to see everything on paper. You'd still think the Padres 149 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: are going to do something because they have been silent. 150 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: Maybe not because they're suing each other for ownership of 151 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: the team. The Padres won ninety three games last year 152 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: and we're up two to one on the Dodgers and 153 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: we're like on path to win the World Series. So 154 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: I know they've lost pieces, and it's it's really hard 155 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: to compare the Padres and the Giants right now. The 156 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: Giants lost Snell and CONFORDO, okay, significant, They've added Willia 157 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: Domash and they've now added Justin Verlander. That hey, that 158 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: Snell loss is significant. I mean I think it's eleven 159 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: starts down the stretch. They were incredible, and he goes 160 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: over to the Dodgers Junghu Lee will be back, So 161 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: that's something that helps them. This is always my thing 162 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: with the Giants. It feels like they've got room for 163 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: one more hitter, and it's are they willing to do that? 164 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: Because right now their bench is a little thin. Their 165 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: DH is listed. 166 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: As Wilmer Flores. 167 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: So could they be in the business of anyone whether 168 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: you want to go medium and do a JD. Martinez 169 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: a flyer on someone or JAD turned them down last. 170 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 2: Year right because. 171 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: Him so maybe a bad example there. Maybe he still 172 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: doesn't you know. Santan Dare's still out there for a 173 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: couple of teams again, if you're looking for a So 174 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: if the Giants get themselves another hitter, I think I 175 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: could actually talk myself into it. We will see if 176 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: they do that, because they don't necessarily need to. They've 177 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: got a lot of talented guys. Ramos had a really 178 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: good rookie year, Fitzgerald did two, but nobody knows what 179 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: to do with that and that sample size. Matt Chapman 180 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: locked up, Lamont Wade only gets on base, and Willie 181 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: Thomas was a big signing one hundred eighty something mill 182 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: So they could, in theory be done. I would like 183 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: to see them add one more hitter. And Yeah, here's 184 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: what I'll say about the Giants coming into the past 185 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: few seasons. We've said the same things, and this team 186 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: isn't that far away from those same things I would say, 187 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: But it feels a little more entertaining. Willie Domas Matt 188 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: Chapman was good for them. Justin Verlander starts, Logan Webb 189 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: healthy for like a full year. Uh, They've got a 190 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: rotation that each guy has upside. It's just what's gonna 191 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: click and what's not gonna click in a year And 192 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: with that tough division and hopefully some bounce back in 193 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: their bullpen, they can be a tough team. But I 194 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: still think when you look at that Giants lineup on 195 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: paper compared to a lot of the plus lineups around 196 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: the league, it's a little daunting. 197 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: God. 198 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: I kind of want to check out this art why 199 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: they gave the Tigers because that was my pick when 200 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: we did we did the free agency draft, I was like, 201 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: go back to Detroit, do this all again. So I'm 202 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: just wondering if they had any rumors or anything, or 203 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: if they're just like, couldn't, Yeah, couldn't the Tigers at 204 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: least offer this? 205 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 206 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: I think another fun game Beaverton and let me know 207 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: if I'm missing anyone. 208 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: There's been. 209 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: At least three old starting pitchers that have signed one 210 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: year fifteen mil, oh, I think, So let me see, 211 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: we've got Charlie Morton just happened to Baltimore, Justin Verlander 212 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: to the San Francisco Giants, Alex Cobp to Detroit. So 213 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: maybe that's what my article friends were being not happy 214 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: about Sugano's thirteen mil for Baltimore. 215 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 2: Let's see what that is. 216 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: Boyd is fourteen to five for two years, so that's 217 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: really uh yeah, that's a that's something. Max Schures are 218 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: still out there, by the way. 219 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 220 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be funny to look at that handful of 221 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: guys that you could have had for the same price 222 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, because I bet two. 223 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: Of them are good. 224 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: I bet two of them aren't welcome to baseball, welcome 225 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: to analytics. 226 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: So that's that, and it's exciting. 227 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: He's still justin Verlander, famous wife, all time pitcher, could 228 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: be good. I'm about it. That's fun baseball stuff. The 229 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: one I don't really know where to lead you guys. 230 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: My Cincinnati Reds have thrown a wrench in the equation 231 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: as Gavin Lux gets traded to the Reds after they 232 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: traded Jonathan India and everyone was like, oh, they finally 233 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: finally cleared up that infield Gavin Lux is in town. 234 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: They traded two prospects for him, well, one prospect and 235 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: a draft pick. I did think it was funny and 236 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: this is just dumb Jake stuff. But Mike Saroda is 237 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: the outfield prospect Northeast guy By the way, the Dodgers 238 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: drafted him out of high school and he said no, 239 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: got drafted by the Reds and I think the third round. 240 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: Still hasn't played pro ball. I don't know if he 241 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: was injured or something. Oh, I don't know what that is. 242 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 2: But then the. 243 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers traded for him. So how bad did the Dodgers 244 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: want Mike Saroda? You know? And if I'm Mike Saroda, 245 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I got drafted for turned them down, 246 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: and then they traded for me. 247 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: They won them. 248 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see the follow up on Mike Siroda 249 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: and that competitive balance pick. But most importantly we know 250 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Gavin Lux, who got traded a two time World Series champ, 251 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: Gavin Lux. 252 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: That's a pretty big flex. 253 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Coming off a two war season with a massive second half, 254 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: A pretty I can say it was a bad first half. 255 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: But it's pretty easy to talk yourself into like miss 256 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: the previous year, acl get literally getting his legs under him, 257 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: and literally got under him. 258 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: Uh in the second half, sixty one games, three to 259 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: zero four batting average, a three ninety one on base 260 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: a five O eight slug so he almost three four 261 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: five for sixty one games to bring the season home. 262 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: That being said, seventy eight games in the first half, 263 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: two thirteen, batting average two sixty seven, on base five 264 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: sixty two. BBD mentioned the injuries. Also the whole shortstop 265 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: who's playing where? Like that was a little messy. I 266 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: know in our heads that doesn't matter, like set the lineup, 267 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: go hit, play defense. I've seen shortstop mess with a 268 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of players heads by this point. 269 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: And I guess at twenty seven he it's somewhat of 270 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: a full like all right, you don't face lefties anymore, 271 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: like a little bit. 272 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough. 273 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: It's made there because that's also a little Dodger syndrome m. 274 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: Hm, like same thing happened to Jock way back when. 275 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Right, And it's it's opportunity based and at a certain 276 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: point you're a certain age that I wonder if that's 277 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: what the Reds are thinking. We'll get to that in 278 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: a second. What do we have Gavin Lux getting paid 279 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: this year? 280 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 4: I believe, and I think around this time tomorrow we 281 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 4: will have like some official numbers on some year guys, 282 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: but the estimates are under three million dollars. 283 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, because he made one point two 284 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: last year, so and it kind of makes sense like 285 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: he never had the gangbuster year. 286 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 4: That really multiplies. Yeah, and and losing a full season 287 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: to an injury. 288 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: Right, so the two data points we do have a 289 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: twenty four year old Gavin Lux had a three war 290 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: season and one hundred and twenty nine games, two seventy 291 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: six three forty six forty five ops. And last year 292 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: I told you, I mean they ended up nearly even. 293 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: But that big second half can make you dream upon 294 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: if you're trading for Gavin Lux two years of hopefully 295 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: pushing eight hundred ops type production. He hasn't done it yet, 296 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: so you don't want to put that out there too much. 297 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: And changing divisions, you're seeing less similar pitchers, and if 298 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: you believe in lineup support and all that stuff, Dodgers 299 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: to the Reds. But the Reds play in one of 300 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: the best hitters parks that I think you can dream 301 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: on Gavin Lux being in his prime, hopefully being recovered 302 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: from a leg injury, being a pretty decent contributor. But 303 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: where Because are Reds, who we applauded for getting Brady 304 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: Singer for Jonathan India, They currently have Ellie de la 305 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: Cruz at shortstop. 306 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: Let's lock that in Janiel. It's the reference for BBD 307 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: and a couple other people. What show was that? 308 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: Uh Anti Donna's biggle has some fun. So some people 309 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 4: are gonna be really into that drop, and some people 310 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 4: are like, why have you wasted twenty more seconds on this? 311 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: We'll like that joke. 312 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: That's why you do it, and that's why you're subscribing 313 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: right now, almost twenty five k. Thanks everyone, Thanks. I'm 314 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna lock in Ellie de la Cruz at shortstop. I 315 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: think I'm gonna lock in Matt McClain at second unless 316 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: he's a piece of trade meat. That will circle back 317 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: on a second. But if let's do this, if they 318 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: are on the reds Ellie's at short Matt McClain at second, 319 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of the end of the conversation there is it? 320 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: Because I just remember Gavin Lux is where this whole 321 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: conversation is around. Then we have Christian and Carnassio and Strand, 322 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: who's kind of a first baseman fencer Steer I'll throw 323 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: in here. He plays everywhere. They have him currently listed 324 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: as the left fielder Gavin Lux, jam Or Candelario, And 325 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a bad reference because it's not 326 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: referencing anything. 327 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 2: So I don't know why I teed it up like this. 328 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: If Santiago Espinal is on your team, he's gonna play. 329 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: It's just a developing theory. It's kind of the IKF effect, 330 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: Like they're versatile enough and they're not bad enough, but 331 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: if they're on your team, they're going to play eighty 332 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: one games minimum. How many to play? Last year, let 333 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: me walk all over myself. 334 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 3: There inter n anyone played appearances. 335 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: D eighteen games. 336 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: So the past four years, Santiago Espinal has played ninety 337 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: two plus games. He plays solid defense, he plays positions, 338 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: and he has like a slappy bat. Wow, his numbers 339 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: are so like KF two sixty six, three, twenty one 340 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: six eighty five ops. WHOA, I might have to put 341 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: out a that's gonna be mean. I was gonna say, 342 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: I need to put a warning to teams if you 343 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: have this guy on your team, they're gonna play a lot, 344 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: which I don't know if that's good. I don't know 345 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: if that's good. Anyways, Sorry for the Santiago Espinal slander. 346 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: That is, before mentioning the guy that was supposed to 347 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: be like the future of the Reds noelvi Marte. He 348 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: was the big piece they got for Luis Castillo, kind 349 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: of a I don't want to say super prospect, but 350 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: of sorts got was good pot for pds. Came back midseason, 351 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: was not good. But you have to think they're not 352 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: over him after you know a limp two hundred and 353 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: forty two bad played appearances at the end of last season. 354 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: That he has to be very much in the mix. 355 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: I didn't mention, but this should be tied in Will Benson, 356 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: who played a lot for them last year. The numbers 357 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: weren't off the charts, but fourteen homers, sixteen stolen bases, 358 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: he's twenty six, Like that's a baseball player. So the 359 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds are back to having a lot of position players, 360 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: which that's a good thing. I think what's scary to 361 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: me is after Ellie d la Cruz, who hit twenty 362 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: five homers last year, I believe and has a chance 363 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: to fully break out and kind of have. I mean, 364 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: he kind of did break out. He had five war 365 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: last year, but I mean we could be talking about 366 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: if his numbers pick up across the board, you're talking 367 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: about seven, eight, nine war type of guy. So let's 368 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: see what happens with Ellie. I mean BBD. If you 369 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: had to place a bet on not a draft, but 370 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: double who's going to have the second most home runs 371 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: on the Cincinnati Reds next year? 372 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: You would pick god right, Chake Frayley. 373 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: So for a team that I just mentioned has a 374 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: lot of depth, and we've we've got not Jake Fraley, 375 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: we've got six infielders, six outfielders, you can't lock in 376 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: another guy for twenty homers twenty which in today's baseball. 377 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: Like twenties. 378 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: If you're an average power hitter playing a full seed 379 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: every day, you're hitting twenty homers. 380 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: I think freedom. So I was trying to say for 381 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 3: the Reds people. 382 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: Yelling they have one of the best hitters parks in baseball, 383 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: so maybe that can be your spin zone that you're 384 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna get plus production from one of these guys. For me, 385 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: the scent is this should be a move that leads 386 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: to another move. I like Gavin lux as a ballplayer. 387 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: Like I said, he could get two years at three 388 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: million and six million, where he gives you two three 389 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: war seasons. 390 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: That's that's a massive win. 391 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: And maybe the Reds are just thinking, hey, last year 392 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: we had a lot. It always felt like we had 393 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: two or three holes, and it just never felt cohesive. 394 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: That maybe if we have this extra depth and Jamer 395 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: has another bad year or one of the young guys 396 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: has a down year, somebody gets hurt, that we can 397 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: plug them and hopefully the wheel keeps on turning. I'm 398 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: okay with that thought process, but it feels a step off, 399 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: and I wonder if there's a trade for a hitter. 400 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: I wonder if they do they have the money to 401 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: sign for a hitter. My knee jerk reaction was like 402 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: a Dylan Cease trade to have, like an actual like 403 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: whoa the Cincinnati Reds pitch? Because I who have been 404 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: brainwashed by myself into becoming a Cincinnati Reds fan because 405 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: I liked all their young hitters so much. Funny how 406 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: much a year can change things. I like their pitching 407 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: more than their hitting. Hunter Green breakout happened. I keep 408 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: reminding people this twenty six starts at two seven five 409 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: Brady Singer, wherever you stand on them, he had a 410 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: solid year last year, three seven to one, Andrew Rabbit 411 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: three seven to two, Nick Martinez qualifying offer three to 412 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: one Era last year Nick Lidolo had two point one 413 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: war shut up Jake a talented young pitcher, and that 414 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: is before we get to Rhet Louder, who was a 415 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: top pick who U thirty innings from Rhet Louder last 416 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: year a one to one seven ERA. 417 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 4: Uh. 418 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: And they have a couple other young arms they like. 419 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: So in theory, the Cincinnati Reds. 420 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: Could be done. 421 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: They have some rod rotation depth. I don't hate their bullpen. 422 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: They got some lefties and righties with Alexis Diaz on 423 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: the back end, and it's like, okay, so maybe they 424 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: just want depth in their lineup. Terry Francona is the 425 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: manager you may have forgotten, and he's just gonna press 426 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: all the right buttons and go. Since he go, I'd 427 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: like to think there's another move, and I think it 428 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: could be for a pitcher, And if it's Dylan Ceese 429 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: for one or two young players, I think that's a win. 430 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: Looking at Dylan Ceese, Hunter Green, and then if singer Abbott, Martinez, 431 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: Ludola one of them clicks, you have like a good 432 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: rotation in Cincinnati, which I feel like we haven't said 433 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: that was anyone else with Bauer was on that Reds team. 434 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: Was Sonny there? 435 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 4: Sonny was there, Luis Castile was there. I don't know 436 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: how broken out he was, but. 437 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: Talent definitely that twenty twenty Reds team. 438 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: I gotta tell Jolly to do that as a video Yeah, 439 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: Man Bauer, Castillo, Gray Tyler, Molly d Scalfani and Wade Miley. Okay, 440 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: easy on that those four all had legit. Bris l Iglesias, 441 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: Michael Lorenzen, tj and Tone Archie, Bradley Brooks. 442 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: Really what Jesse Biddle? What year is this? Are there 443 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: two Jesse Biddles? 444 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: Pedro Strope on the team? 445 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: Wasn't there a Rocky Biddle was the old Expos reliever 446 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: and he got rocked? Why do I know his name? 447 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: Minus three point two career war Anyways, I'd like to 448 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: think there's another move for the Reds going. I'd like 449 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: to think it's in any direction. If this was a 450 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: video game and the Reds had a little bit of money, 451 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: could you just somehow, could you somehow get Dylan Ceese 452 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: and then signed Pete Santander or something, then like you'd 453 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: look at the Reds and be like, wait, is this 454 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: a good team? Because the other thing that happened earlier, 455 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: I was on the Reds and I was giving myself 456 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: my normal Reds hype speech. Here we go, let's go Reds. 457 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: I clicked over to the Royals and I like the 458 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Royals roster better than the Reds, and I think it's 459 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: on like every front, Like I believe in the Royal 460 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: star a little more. Bobby wit Junior, he showed that 461 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: last year, like even India Wit Pascuentino Salve. Maybe I'm 462 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: a little too biased to Michael Massey, but I like 463 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: what's going on up there. You could argue the Reds 464 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: have better depth, sure, but kind of the star in 465 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: the meat of the lineup. 466 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: I like that more for. 467 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: Case Reagan's Lugo waka now Lorenzen. And then however they 468 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: want to finish it boo bitch march Well Kyle Wright 469 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: ever return. I don't know any young pitchers I know, 470 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: not really, but also the bullpen man Ursig, Harvey Schreiber, 471 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: and then they've got all those lefty Zerpa Lynch Long 472 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: Christrattan that it's kind of like, Okay, the Royals. Where 473 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: do I officially land on the Royals. They made the 474 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. The team has some juice, they have 475 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: a star. It was an eighty six win team. Do 476 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: I think they necessarily got better? 477 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 2: I don't know. 478 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I think that kind of depends on India Pasquentino, Salvi, 479 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: Michael Massey breakout alert. I kind of like the Royals 480 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: more than the Reds, which I gotta be honest. For 481 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: the Reds, that's a bad sign. 482 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: M hm. 483 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Like. I hope the Royals run it back next year. 484 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: But the Royals, they were second in starting pitching era. 485 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: It's really good. The Reds last year. 486 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I accidentally just clicked on a booze ad. 487 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: How do I get out of here? 488 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 4: Is this? 489 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 3: What is this? Reggie? 490 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: Is that whiskey? They got me? Well done? Now I'm 491 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 2: buying it. I'm drinking it. 492 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: My Cincinnati Reds that I continue to try to talk 493 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: myself into in a weak division. They won seventy seven 494 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: games last year, twenty first and o PS sixteenth and 495 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: starting pitching the ra eighteenth. And give me a little 496 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: bit of an identity somewhere, and maybe a Trevino helped 497 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: steal some pitches for them and that can help their 498 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: pitching staff. I'd like if they could give me one 499 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: more move in either direction. I can dream better, like. 500 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 3: A new. 501 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 4: Doesn't necessarily have to be best, but a new most 502 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 4: reliable hitter or pitcher. 503 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: Something with it with a big ceiling. 504 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: I would love a. 505 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: Hitter that looks like twenty five plus homers ideally thirty 506 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: today's baseball. Or I'd love a starting pitcher that I 507 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: could look at and say, well, you're gonna hopefully get 508 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: thirty starts at a three five era. And I guess 509 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: the part that surprised me when I originally did this, 510 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: because again knee jerk reaction posted on social media. I 511 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: was like Dylan Cees like Reds, that's an identity pitch 512 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. I kind of now believe in the 513 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: reds pitching upside more than their hitting that. 514 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 2: I don't know. 515 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm missing something. The Reds have great American ballpark. 516 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: Maybe that's where my head is at, Like, go get 517 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: Dylan Ceese and you'll figure out hitting. 518 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: But Reds. 519 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: I need one more move to make sense of it. Meanwhile, 520 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: watch out for whatever Mike Sirota and whoever the Dodgers 521 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: pick with that pick. That's a little bit of the 522 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: baseball update for now. We will see again whatever shoe 523 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: drops next. There's been no real santandar rumors. Pete's kind 524 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: of in a bad spot. It feels like Bragman. It 525 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: still feels like he's in a good spot. 526 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 4: Ultimately seem like Bragman's like going land where he won it. 527 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams you can be like Bregman, Bergman, 528 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: Red Sox, Mats, Nats. I have to feel like our team. 529 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: Everyone wants the Tigers that we've done Pete, that whole 530 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: first base wheel happened, carousel. 531 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 532 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to think he's gonna fall more into like 533 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: a Cody Bellinger Matt Chapman three year with opt out, 534 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: so if you have a forty homer year in the 535 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: next two years, you'll get another big deal. 536 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 537 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: It's entered a weird spot with Pete, and I didn't 538 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: think it would. I thought a team would would talk 539 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: themselves into that. Rats, Diamondbacks. Who's gonna come out of 540 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: the woodwork for Pete? 541 00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: Yankees? No, No kombucha girl give again for a couple people. 542 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little football, because I told you this 543 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: is kind of the big one college football. If you're 544 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: not into it, I think this should be your weekend. 545 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: We are down to well, oh god, I was going 546 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: to say I was going to make a joke about 547 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: one of the bad Bowl games it had South Alabama 548 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: Western Michigan, but that was December fourteenth, So if you're 549 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: looking forward to that game, it's not happening. No, there 550 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: are three college football games left. Notre Dame at Penn State. Okay, 551 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: some traditional northern colleges mixing it up. The Golden Domers 552 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: have become i don't know, kind of yankee ish, right, 553 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: like Notre Dame used to be college football's brand. 554 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: They haven't really won the big one in a while. 555 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: People said last week against Georgia was the biggest game 556 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: they won in a long time. They play a fun 557 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: brand of football. They want to run the ball. They've 558 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: got a veteran quarterback, Riley Leonard, who's going to make plays. 559 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: Not a ton through the air last week, but they 560 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't need a ton through the air. But their run 561 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: game is really fun. Love and Price normally doing a 562 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: lot of work, although Riley Leonard did a lot of 563 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: the work last week as they beat a Georgia team 564 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: with basically just a good end to the half. Penn 565 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: State had been kind of one of they'd been a 566 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: punching bag of college football for a little bit because 567 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: another program that kind of landed Top ten. They won 568 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: every game they were supposed to win. They lost every 569 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: game they were supposed to lose. So it's kind of like, well, 570 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: what are you? You're clearly not the elite, you're not bad, 571 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: but how do we treat you? They beat SMU and 572 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: Boise State, so even read that off makes me a 573 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: little timid. But they won both those games dominantly, which 574 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: which you like to see. They do have one of 575 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks remaining in this whole dance. Drew Aller 576 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: has elevated his stock. He had three touchdown passes against 577 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: Boise no interceptions. Allen and Singleton are there to go 578 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: to running backs. Singleton's a beast and it's funny Alan 579 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: actually outplayed him last game against Boise. And if you're 580 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL world and you're just waiting to get 581 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: to the next part of this conversation, they have a 582 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Warren, who is just massive. There has 583 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: been a couple of times they just give him the 584 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: ball in the backfield because he's that good that it's 585 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: just like, hey, figure it. 586 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 2: Out, dude, we don't know how to get you the 587 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: ball right now. 588 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: So go. 589 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns receiving against both Boise State and just you know, 590 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: some college players look different on the field. 591 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: Is one of them. 592 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: That'll be fun to see him on that stage. And 593 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: I'd have to assume he's gonna be a first round 594 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: pick and he is just massive. I think there's gonna 595 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: be grant comparisons come to draft and if he has 596 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: a big game, watch out. 597 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 2: That. 598 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna be fun to see those two teams. One 599 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: of them is going back to the national championship. Notre 600 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: Dame did that a few years ago, but they got 601 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: absolutely rolled by Alabama. Like they just didn't have a 602 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: chance at that. It was like Alabama's peak and it 603 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: was like Notre Dame wiggled in and it was a 604 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: bad time. This will be a fun game. Notre Dame 605 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: is the favorite. I was just talking myself by a 606 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: point and a half, so it's pretty tight. I was 607 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: just telling myself, like, oh, Penn State, they've got a quarterback. 608 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: Notre Dame hasn't seen that. But Notre Dame just be 609 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: Georgia who they've got, you know, Georgia compared to Boise State, 610 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: and SMU is a different product on each line that 611 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: this game is being played tomorrow night, So again I 612 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: mentioned this as an explosive football weekend tomorrow night at 613 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 1: the Orange Bowl fighting Irish Nitney Lions gone to my head? 614 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: Why does he always do that? I guess I like 615 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. They just took out Georgia. They're feeling good 616 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: about themselves. They kind of know who they are. They've 617 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: got a good storyline. I like their head coach a 618 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: little more than Penn State's head coach. 619 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 620 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: The Notre Dame story is cool, like they lost to 621 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: Northern Illinois and everyone was ready to fire their coach 622 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: and Notre Dame's a joke and here we go and 623 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: they have responded from that as good as a team can. 624 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: So I guess I like that story a little more. 625 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: James Franklin left my Vanderbilt, so some wounds. 626 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:53,959 Speaker 2: Just never heal. 627 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: But that should be a fun one now on Friday, 628 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: maybe because we've got a snowstorm in Dallas. Watch out 629 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: supposed to get a half a foot and they don't 630 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: know what to do with snow down there. Ohio State, 631 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: the Ohio State the heavy favorites to win this whole dance. 632 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: How quickly we've moved on from Ryan Day not beating 633 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: Michigan over the past four years, they are the favorites. 634 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: They are playing Texas, the Texas Longhorns, who their two 635 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: losses this year are to Georgia in a couple of 636 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: close games, or at least the second one was. So 637 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: we'll see if there's any Texas in Texas effect. They're 638 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: playing at Jerry's World. You'd like to think there's gonna 639 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: be more burnt Orange in the crowd. I'll tell you this. 640 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: Dallas is a commuter city, is at the transplant city 641 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: that there's already a lot of Ohio folk there, and 642 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: it's a fan base that travels that. I don't think 643 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: we're looking at something odd here, a team that wouldn't 644 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: travel unless flights from Ohio get canceled. 645 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 2: We'll see about that. Texas. 646 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see are they gonna mix anything up. 647 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: They ended up letting Clemson into the game a little bit. 648 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: In their first game, Arizona State almost pulled out a 649 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: miracle against them, and their defense that is supposed to 650 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: be their strength continues to just have kind of these 651 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: weird moments of what is going on here? Yours statline 652 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: ends up looking good last game, people were wondering has 653 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: he been playing hurt through the season because he had 654 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: some moments of just bizarre kind of output on their end. 655 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Ohio State I talked about Notre Dame looking 656 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: in the mirror after losing to Northern Illinois and kind 657 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: of doing you what are we doing, and how it's 658 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: a great bounce backstory. Ohio State's looking to write an 659 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: even better one. Ryan Day looking like he's on. 660 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,879 Speaker 2: The chop block. 661 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 1: Into four years not beating Michigan, and this Michigan team 662 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: was not a Michigan team that if they slipped up 663 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: against Tennessee in a cold weather game, if they lost 664 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: to Oregon, the undefeated number one team that they had 665 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: lost to, Ryan Day could have been in a weird spot. 666 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he'd be the coach of 667 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: Ohio State. I think after they beat Tennessee how they did, 668 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: if the Oregon game was close, he would have been fine. 669 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: But a reminder, they jumped out in front of Oregon cataclysmically. 670 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: It's to Joe's McFly word that I try to mix 671 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: in I mean thirty four to nothing. I think that 672 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: word works there. That Ohio State has now become the favorite. 673 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: It seems like they're clicking on all cylinders there. Wide 674 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: receivers cannot be stopped. Jeremiah Smith, the wide out freshman 675 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver, he's drawn comps to Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, 676 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: like the best of the best wide receivers you know 677 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: that went through college football and just ripped it up. 678 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 2: He's on that level. 679 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: They have him in a book on the outside that 680 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 1: the secret is they've kind of been feeding those guys 681 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: the ball instead of focusing on the run, and nobody 682 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: can stop them, even though they have a great run 683 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: game with Henderson and Howard the quarterback chipping in where 684 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 1: he needs to. It's gonna be interesting to see if 685 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 1: what kind of fight Texas has for them. It's a 686 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: five to five and a half point spread, which usually 687 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: that means they're indecisive and they're trying to get you 688 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: to take Texas because Ohio State and just how good 689 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: they have looked Ohio Texas might be the last line 690 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: of defense. Texas one of the favorites coming into this season, 691 00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: and they've shown moments of really high play between their quarterback, 692 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: their running back, their defense, and can they get a 693 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: Texas boost or even Ohio State hasn't seen something go 694 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: the wrong direction in a while, they haven't seen a 695 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: pick six, they haven't seen a bad fumble. Can they 696 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: get something early that shows like, hey, this is an 697 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: equal playing field, because right now they are rolling. I'll 698 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: be honest, it's tough to bet against Ohio State right 699 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: now with how good they do look. But tune into 700 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: if you're a sports person, these are gonna be two 701 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: fun ones to tune into. And by the way, your 702 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: college football bracket, which we've talked about a little bit 703 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about more, how we need to make 704 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: some changes and adjustments. The current seeds left are five, six, seven, 705 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: and eight, So again how the bracket got built. In 706 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 1: previous years, it would have been a different one through four, 707 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: like a couple of these teams would have been in here. 708 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: But this year, this is where we're at, and I 709 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: think the product has gotten to a good spot. With 710 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: that Arizona State eight Texas game that was just electric 711 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: last week, I guess we could use one more signature game. 712 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: But again, we are now at the point that the 713 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: playoffs started previously, so I think I think we're in 714 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: a good spot. So if college football is not your 715 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: fancy m hm, the NFL will have what you're looking 716 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: for into the weekend. As it is wildcard weekend, the 717 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 1: NFL is rolling out one, two, three, four, five six 718 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: games starting Saturday ending on Monday. Saturday. It starts off 719 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: Chargers Texans Harbaugh remember Michigan Harbaugh and the Chargers are 720 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: eleven and six. The turnaround happened, like he does everywhere 721 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: he goes, and they will head to Houston, who a 722 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: weird year for them, man ten and seven. No one 723 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: else in their division finished above five hundred. The Colts 724 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: had a very culty year. Meanwhile, Jacksonville died and Tennessee 725 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,760 Speaker 1: was bad enough to have the first pick in the draft. 726 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 2: So what is Houston? CJ. 727 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 1: Stroud took a step back and was that the league 728 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: seeing him more? Was it the people having a target 729 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 1: on them. I'm trying to see what's my best What 730 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: is my best Texans win? They beat the Bills a 731 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,280 Speaker 1: while ago, so that's kind of an easy one. 732 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 2: I guess. 733 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: Since then, since then, the Texans best wins are the Patriots, 734 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: the Colts, the Cowboys, the Jaguars, the Dolphins, and the Titans. 735 00:42:52,440 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: They lost to the Ravens, the Chiefs, the titanss Lions, Jets, Packers. 736 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: So a year that was filled with a lot of 737 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: excitement for Houston. They've been off the map since off 738 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: the map since early in the season. The Chargers in 739 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: Houston are three point favorites, and I think you could 740 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: tell by the way I was talking to myself. I 741 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: think I'm talking myself into that. Justin Herbert Man twenty 742 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, three interceptions. Pretty impressive what he's done the 743 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: lad mcconkee rookie season that he's put up. Yeah, I 744 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: guess I was interested to I thought the Texans at 745 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: home in a playoff game, you know, you think they'd 746 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: be at least pick them or one point favorites. No, 747 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: the Chargers minus three, And I think I just talked 748 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: myself into more of that. The nightcap that you hope 749 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: has excitement. A nine and a half point spread makes 750 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: you a little nervous, and two teams that make you 751 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: nervous on both fronts. The Ravens at one point my 752 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl pick for this year. Man could Lamar use 753 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 1: a big playoff game to shake some of his Google 754 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: Google ougas against the Pittsburgh Steelers who Pittsburgh Steelers bellow 755 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: the ball, Mike Tomlin, how do they do it? 756 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,439 Speaker 2: Defense? In this guy. 757 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: They've lost their last four Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Begals. It's 758 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: feeling different. It's feeling different for the Steelers who will 759 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: head to Baltimore. They played the Ravens twice this year. 760 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: They won the eighteen to sixteen Boswell Bowl six times 761 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: three is at eighteen yep, they won that one. Then 762 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: at the Ravens they lost thirty four to seven, with 763 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: Baltimore opening it up late in that game. Baltimore is 764 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,839 Speaker 1: a much better team the Steelers. It's how can they 765 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: score with the Ravens And I don't know if they 766 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: can even on their bad day. Mark Andrew's fun stat 767 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: with him after the first six weeks of the year 768 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,800 Speaker 1: with zero touchdowns, ended up leading the tight end position 769 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: in touchdowns. There's a lot of people that had regretful 770 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: fantasy trades, including my main league, I Caravell. Someone was 771 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 1: very sad. No name's mentioned Andrew, but there's a couple Andrews, 772 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: so that. 773 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 3: Leaves it vague, including in this conversation. 774 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: Right, So, yeah, it'd be cool if you get the 775 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: division and raven Steelers. We're hard hitting and maybe a 776 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: special team's play and Tomlin's got something up his sleeve. 777 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. If the Ravens somehow lose this game. 778 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 2: Watch out. 779 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 1: The Lamar tone is gonna change bigger than you thought. 780 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: He has used up all of his playoff leash. His 781 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: playoff stats are pretty pretty not good. That yeah, this 782 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: is kind of the year. He might be winning another 783 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: MVP award. Everyone talks about now how his forty one touchdowns, 784 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: four interceptions and how three of the four went off 785 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers hands. It's a special, special year from Lamar, 786 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: who I think he has like a top five QBR 787 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: in a season ever and that doesn't include the running, 788 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: and he like passed VIC this year for what he 789 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: does on the ground. Should be Ravens, big rivalry division game. 790 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes that's when the funk comes out. Should be Ravens 791 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: by more than nine and a half sometimes Vegas knows though. 792 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: So that's your Saturday Slate, Sunday Broncos Bills. 793 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 2: My Broncos made it to the dance. Can you believe it? 794 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 1: The Broncos ten and seven bow Nicks. It seems like 795 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: they're getting better bow Knicks. Twenty nine touchdowns, twelve interceptions. 796 00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, their last game against the Chiefs shouldn't really count, 797 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 1: although I heard Travis Kelsey was getting mad about that 798 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: they're going into Buffalo Josh Allen, who's competing with Lamar 799 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 1: for the MVP. Buffalo one of the tougher places to 800 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: play in this league. A Cook kind of figured it 801 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: out with the run game this year. His final stats 802 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: over a thousand yard, sixteen touchdowns, a little guy that 803 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be able to find the end zone 804 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: and just spreading the ball out to every receiver a 805 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,280 Speaker 1: little bit the same except for Courland Sutton on the Broncos. 806 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 2: Nice year. 807 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 1: Cortland, people were leaving him undrafted. 808 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 2: Bo Nicks. 809 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: I get it to an eight and a half point spread. 810 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: I told everyone my dream, and dream is a very 811 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 1: dramatic word. 812 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 2: Actually it's kind of nice. 813 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: My dream bet that I've never hit that I've wanted 814 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: to hit is in most games there's a bet halftime 815 00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 1: full time that like, if you think the Bills are 816 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 1: gonna win this. 817 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,800 Speaker 2: Game, you'd pick Bills. 818 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: Bills and the odds are just slightly tougher because if 819 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 1: you think the Bills are gonna the Bills should lead 820 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: this game the whole way. There's usually tie and then 821 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: the winner, which those odds are crazy. And then my 822 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 1: dream bet you can bet one team to be leading 823 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 1: at half and then the other team to win. 824 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 2: That's my dream. 825 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: I would love if my Broncos could execute that dream 826 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 1: that Sean Payton has a plan. Bow Nicks and the 827 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: boys come out and they put together a couple drives, 828 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: maybe they get the ball first field goal at the 829 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: half and they're up thirteen to ten, something like that. 830 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they can win this game. I will 831 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: be interested to see man bo Nicks in some of 832 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: these recent games. And the whole thing. Sean Payton said 833 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 1: he saw Drew Brees and this guy and they used 834 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: to just complete passes, and that's what they've been doing recently. 835 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: Twenty six for twenty nine against Kansas City, Okay, backups, 836 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,919 Speaker 1: twenty four for thirty one against the Bengals, twenty nine 837 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: for forty against the Chargers, and then it starts to 838 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: thin out a little bit. Uh. I hope the old 839 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 1: dog Champagne can win me over if there is a 840 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: sneaky on side kick in this game, I will be furious, 841 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 1: but maybe that's what they'll need to actually hang with 842 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: the Bills, who are playing for a Super Bowl year 843 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: this year. That is your one PM game at four 844 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 1: point thirty Packers iggles. 845 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 2: I want to have Justin pennickon. 846 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,439 Speaker 1: I think is as mom had a surgery or something. 847 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm supposed to be sharing that, 848 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: but he was spending time with her today, so we're 849 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: hoping to have him next week and best wishes. 850 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,760 Speaker 2: If that wasn't supposed to be revealed, I'm interested to see. 851 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,399 Speaker 2: Pennick said. 852 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: If the Eagles draw the Packers, that's a really bad 853 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: matchup for the e Eagles and there would be a 854 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 1: sweet Philly twist if they've gone on this run. They've 855 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 1: been incredible. Eagles, Eagles, Eagles, They've become my favorite Sirianni 856 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: God again. If they lose to the pack in Philly, 857 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: that burnt that building could burn down. That being said, 858 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: Philly is still my super Bowl pick because I think 859 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 1: they've gotten back to running the ball and they're just 860 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: so dominant at Itaquan is crazy two thousand yards missing 861 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: the last game. 862 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 2: Let's see what goes on with Hurts. 863 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: He's been in concussion protocol. He practiced today. Eagles four 864 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: and a half. I'll bet it they'll win by three. 865 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: I'll be mad all around. 866 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:45,759 Speaker 2: Packers. What are you. 867 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 1: Let's find out a lot of green Commander's Buccaneers your nightcap, Okay, 868 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: Baker and Jaden Daniels. Sure, Buccaneers have been fun all year, 869 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: and I wish that Chris Godwin injury never happened. The 870 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 1: Commanders have been fun all year. Twelve and five. It's 871 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: in Tampa. Remember they were going on their three game 872 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 1: skid and they had one game before the bye week 873 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: to figure it out. Against the Titans. It was close 874 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 1: for or actually no, it was not close. They blew 875 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,879 Speaker 1: them out early. Titans showed a little fight, they beat them. 876 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 2: They won out. 877 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 1: Titans, Saints, Eagles, remember that one. Falcons, Cowboys. Everything's close 878 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: with them. I love Jayden Daniels and I hope we 879 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 1: get some Jayden and Daniels magic. I love Baker and 880 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: Bucky Man. I'm surprised this is the Sunday night game. 881 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: Feels like Packers Eagles. It was a little more national juice. 882 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is a three point favorite, and I think 883 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,839 Speaker 1: that's right. Again, there's a lot of things you could 884 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 1: look back on this Washington season. Remember the Giants game 885 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: Week two that they should have lost, but the Giants 886 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: didn't have a kick. And there's you know, the Hail 887 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 1: Mary against the Bears, Like, oh god, Yeah, this this 888 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: Washington season could have felt a lot different at a 889 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: couple different stops along the way. And hey, they have 890 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 1: some other things they can point back. The Steelers had 891 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: a crazy comeback against them one week. Sit back and 892 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: enjoy that breeze. What Baker has turned himself into in 893 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: this second act of his career has been a ton 894 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: of fun. What Jaden Daniels is doing and how electric 895 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: that is is a ton of fun. Bucky Irving is electric, 896 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: and I hope they feed him the. 897 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 3: Rock scene where his season numbers ended up. 898 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Bucky crushed man. 899 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: And he's still sharing time with like a couple backs 900 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: along the way, not only White, but they like their 901 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,359 Speaker 1: other guy forty four. 902 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 2: Nice. That's real football talk when you say their number. 903 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 2: Enjoy it. 904 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 1: Hopefully, if we get a Baker Jaden shootout, a couple 905 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,839 Speaker 1: guys and that'll lead us into Monday Vikings rams, the 906 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: coaches are connected, Minnesota one point favorite in La as 907 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: scary LA. Let's see what's going on with that whole 908 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: city in a couple days. Remember the Vikings were playing 909 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: to get the one seed in a bye and now 910 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 1: they're in LA and that city might be rallying around 911 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: everything and Matthew, Stafford and McVeigh could be scary hours. 912 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: And the last thing we saw from Darnold was he 913 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 1: was having a pretty bad time out there. Let's get 914 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 1: through the weekend and you'll hear from us before then. 915 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: Enjoy it, you guys know, I've enjoyed my relationship with football. 916 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: Did I watch a little NBA the other night? 917 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 2: I did. 918 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: Who's I watching? Not the Nuggets game? Who's on before them? Lakers, Lakers, someone, 919 00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: Lakers maths. A lot of guys missing, No Luca. 920 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 2: No Kyrie. 921 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, this is kind of the whole thing I 922 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,760 Speaker 1: saw there doing another NBA is doing. 923 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 2: A rivalry week coming up. 924 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 1: Oh, anything to make people believe it matters because guys 925 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: aren't playing. 926 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 2: I love it when the guys play. College basketball is 927 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 2: in a weird spot. 928 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: Everyone's pooping on them nowadays because they're saying guys don't 929 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 1: know how to play basketball anymore. Maybe that's just on 930 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 1: the old side of the Internet. I now live on 931 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: with this jacket. Hey, enjoy the sports.
