Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio Coming to you from

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: absolutely spectacular summer day in northeast Wisconsin. We have our

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: own golf tournament at Green Bay. It's that, of course,

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: called Wander Springs. Awesome. Twenty seven holes of just remarkable

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: golf today, not played by me, Pleina, you know, I

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: hit a couple of balls. It's pretty good. But anyway,

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: boys back in La. You guys having a good day.

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: We've got a ton to talk about. AJ Prazinski's gonna

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: join us. It's tough for me to have Aj on,

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: not because he's not a spectacular baseball guest. He is,

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: but because of the fake drop, the fake the drop

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: third strike against the Angels, which was a brilliant play

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: back when he was part of the White Sox winning

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: their first World Series in eighty eight years back with

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: the Socks. Got some thoughts on yesterday's beginning of the

22
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Draft stuff. I didn't know that I

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: learned that's different than any other draft. But I want

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: to start with the continuing stories revolving around Lebron James.

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: And you even heard it some in the update right

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: where Kobe Altman, Mike Gansey and who was like his

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: Brandon Weims got contract extensions with Cleveland and he Lebron

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: gives them a shout out on Twitter, leading some to

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: speculate he really wants Cleveland to come and get him,

30
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: which kind of gets us to the part of the story,

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: which is, I guess odd. So Summer league's going on,

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: Lakers are played, I believe it was Friday night, and

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: they start talking about Lebron in front of Lebron while

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's at the game with his daughter watching their son,

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Bronni play, and they ask him, you know, if he

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: wants to come on, I don't have blank to talk about, sure, Lebron,

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: because that's what Lebron does. He does the passive aggressive thing,

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, if he wants to get somebody fired as

39
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: head coach, he doesn't say anything to talk about it.

40
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: He lets everybody else talk about it. When he's done

41
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: with a teammate and he wants them traded, he just

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: doesn't talk to them, just moves off of them. And

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: then ESPN went further in a story which has now

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: been widely reported that four teams checked in with Rich

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Paul in regards to a trade to acquire Lebron James,

46
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: which is, I guess news to us. It's interesting, it's

47
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: worthy of discussion, but there's a pattern building there. Here's

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: the pattern. Go back to last week and we talked

49
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: about it that there's a Ramona Shelburne story that has

50
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers not informing Lebron about the sale of the team.

51
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Then you read the story and you start to go, hey,

52
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: Rich Paul is a pretty big source to this story.

53
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: Then you read previous stories from when the Lakers were sold,

54
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: and part of the story is reported by the same

55
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: network ESPN, is that Lebron and Luca were both informed

56
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: of the sale of the team. Okay, so progression of events. First,

57
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: Lebron opts in to his player option. Second part is

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: at the exact same time, Rich Paul releases kind of

59
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: damning statement which is Lebron wants to be part of

60
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: a championship. And again I'm not quoting verbatim here, but

61
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: basically like, Lakers aren't about Lebron. So this, you know,

62
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of past tense in it. This will

63
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: probably be the last year Lakers say they want to

64
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: they want to surround themselves with whatever Luca wants to

65
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: win a championship. Then the Ramona Shelbourne story comes out,

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Then the story comes out Friday that four teams a

67
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: touch base about a trade. And then you look at

68
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers, who haven't even announced that Lebron has signed

69
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: the player option. What does this all mean? I don't

70
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: know for a fact, but I'm pretty sure this is

71
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: all the creation of Rich Paul. This is Rich Paul's

72
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: way of creating some sort of either energy towards moving

73
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: off of or moving the Lakers to buy out Lebron,

74
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: or just a way to get people to be kind

75
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: of sympathetic and talk about Lebron. And here's the easiest

76
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: reference point. When Lebron was going to the Lakers from Cleveland,

77
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: everybody knew he was going to the Lakers from Cleveland.

78
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: Everybody his kids were I know because my kids went

79
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: to the same school his kids did at least one

80
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: day where they visited this school. Then they were up

81
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: in the Valley and Sierra Canyon. The stories came out

82
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: that they were checking out those schools, so real stories.

83
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: And part of it was that there was this smoke

84
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: screen created by Rich Paul where hey, he might go

85
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: to San Antonio. Like, if you're going to pick a

86
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: team for Lebron to go to San Antonio, is not it.

87
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of media, media attention, And the

88
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: number one thing they tell you to do if you

89
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: want to join the San Antonio Spurs is get over yourself.

90
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: No one's ever thought Lebron is over himself and his

91
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: guys would not have to operate with the same power.

92
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: And if you really think about it, not only the

93
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Lakers not talked about him signing an extension. The Lakers

94
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: haven't let anything out. We didn't know about the Luca trade,

95
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: to the Luca trade happened. We haven't known about any

96
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: of these things till they happen. They've done a really

97
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: good job of running a really quiet ship. And this

98
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: is something I do know that when Magic Johnson was there,

99
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: they were super, super frustrated that there was one writer

100
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: with the La Times. What was the gentleman's name, Jase Do.

101
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: I hate to put you on the spot, and I'm

102
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: going to because you were working in local radio. I

103
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: believe at the time there was a there was a

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: local writer who covered the Lakers. I think for the

105
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: La Times. It's an African American gentleman, and he had

106
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: all of the Lakers stories and they were all fresh

107
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: off of talking on the phone.

108
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: With Hey, you're talking about you talking about Brad Turner.

109
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Brad Turner.

110
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Right, awesome, awesome reporter and awesome dude. By the way,

111
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: I've known it forever.

112
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: I've heard an awesome dude. And Magic liked him, and

113
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: Magic would call him and Magic would give him everything,

114
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: and the Lakers are like, dude, you can't do that.

115
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: We don't do that. Don't loose slip sinc ships. And

116
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: then Brad Turner would have the Hey, remember the first

117
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: time they were trying to try for trade for Anthony Davis.

118
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: He had all the details, everything, And then when they

119
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: didn't get him, They're like, yeah, he's still gonna go

120
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: after him in the off season. Here's what Magic is thinking.

121
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: How does he know? Because Magic would call him. So

122
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: when Polinka got control of the shop, Polinka was a

123
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: no leaks guy, none none, zero zip silchanada and we

124
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: don't get any leaks. So how would these stories get

125
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: out and why would they be reaching out to Rich

126
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Paul and how would this Like it's obvious Rich Paul's

127
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: either trying to get Lebron bought out or it's just

128
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: a urinating contest where he's trying to say, hey, we're

129
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: still the biggest dog. Look at all these championship teams

130
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: that still want Lebron. Either way, I I don't know.

131
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I guess my question is what is the endgame? What's

132
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: the endgame? Because the Lakers they're not going to buy

133
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: out Lebron James right, and no one's trading for a

134
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: fifty three million dollar contract for a forty year old

135
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: player who's been hurt a great portion of what was

136
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: he five in the last seven years. We already know

137
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: he takes his break in March. So this is not

138
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: me like destroying Lebrun. This is me going like, is

139
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: this really what we're doing? You're an agent for the

140
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: most successful player currently in the NBA. Like, we don't

141
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: get any of this stuff on Steph Curry. Steph currys

142
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: won four championship. Steph Curry's an all time great. Steph Curry

143
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: basically pushed them over the threshold, won the game in

144
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the Olympics last year, in the gold medal game. I mean,

145
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: that's that's Stephan Curry. We don't get in any unhappiness

146
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: with or what he wants to happen or coaching staff

147
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: or player moves or any of that stuff. Why because

148
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the Warriors aren't sharing anto those details. Same thing with

149
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers. We only get it with Lebron. And again,

150
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: none of this happens without Lebron saying it's okay. And

151
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: Lebron's even participated it, playing golf ian Akron, wearing a

152
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: welcome home shirt, doing the shout out to weems with

153
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers organization. All of those things are all

154
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: part of Team Lebron's plant. Like it's got to be

155
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: a hey, we want to go back to Cleveland and

156
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: finish where we started and oh yeah, by the way,

157
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: they have a really good team, and oh yeah, by

158
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: the way, the East is down this year. All of

159
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: that makes sense except the Lakers, like, well, why would

160
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: we do that? Why would we do that, and and

161
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: different organizations do things differently when they get perturbed. Could

162
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: you just trade him and say hey, or could you

163
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: buy him out you got a new owner that paid

164
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: ten billion dollars, you could, but that would be really

165
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: bad for business. That would be really really dumb. And

166
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, by the way, if you want to extract

167
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: a little revenge for like we drafted Bronnie, we game

168
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: afore year guaranteed contract, we played Bronnie, We've done everything

169
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: you wanted. We hired JJ Reddick. Yeah, I gotta be

170
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: honest with you. Part of me thinks the Lakers they're

171
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: not gonna say or do anything for a reason, nor

172
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: do they have to. They could just ride out the

173
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: Lebron thing. Then you can sign with somebody else for

174
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: a victory tour the next year. Hard to see the

175
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: end game, being like, do they think they're gonna get

176
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: bought out? Just doesn't make sense if you really wanted to,

177
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: because if you wanted to go somewhere else, just don't

178
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: sign the player option, become a free agent and see

179
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: what's up. Not that hard. The report is multiple teams

180
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: have inquired about Lebron James, and my report back to

181
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: you is without any source close to it. This is

182
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: all created by Lebron, James and Rich Paul and their camp.

183
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: And whether they're pissed, trying to get bought out, maybe

184
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: trying to get traded, I don't know, but it's it's

185
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of laughable in that if you want,

186
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to play somewhere else, you could

187
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: have picked your own destiny. All you had to do

188
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: is not opt into your contract.

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. So there's controversies around Jacob Mazowski. We

198
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: talked about ms last week. Obviously, you know he bounced

199
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: back from the one we really had one bad inning

200
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: against the Mets. I think it was two weeks ago.

201
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, right, and by the way currently baseball,

202
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: if you haven't been made, attention is on on their

203
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: All Star break. Mis Rowski is a rookie, so if

204
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: you're wondering what the controversy is over, you're like, wait,

205
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: why do they You know he's pitched. He's literally pitched

206
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: twenty five innings of Major League baseball. He's had five

207
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: starts and he's four and one and he's only allowed

208
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: I think, what is it? He's allowed eight earned runs

209
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: in those five starts, but you know, five, six, eight,

210
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts or whatever. So you know, he's got thirty

211
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: three strikeouts in twenty five innings, which is outstanding. You know,

212
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: usually it's as the starting pitcher one to one, right

213
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: strikeout to inning ratio, so two and a half to

214
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: one or two and a quarter to one. You know, well,

215
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: one in a quarter to one is really really good.

216
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: But it's a lot, it's early, and it seems a

217
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: bit forced. And it's not like the Brewers needed just

218
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: one guy to be an All Star, right, they got

219
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: plenty of really good players. They're in second place. They

220
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: played great ball so far this year, great, not good great.

221
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't know it. Look does it feel forced? Yeah? Yeah,

222
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: it does it. Does He's gonna replace Matthew Boyd, who's

223
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: a Cub starter and Boyd pitched Saturday, So some of

224
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: it is where you come up in the Rota. Sanchez

225
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: was a Christopher Sanchez Sanchez from the Philadelphia Phillies probably

226
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: should have replaced him. Plus, remember Sanchez has incentives and

227
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: bonuses in their contract tied to All Star appearances, which,

228
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: according to reports, the Phillies will honor because they're like,

229
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: this is the league, this is the Brewers, this is

230
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: baseball trying to push their youth. I'm in the Yeah. Look,

231
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: I think there's three different parts of what makes an

232
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: All Star. Three with three different First, there's the kind

233
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: of grandfathered in as long as you're just not brutal,

234
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: but you're a five, six, seven time over All Star,

235
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: we're good. Yeah, you're going to be an All Star

236
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: every year. Right, if you're a Hall of Fame caliber player,

237
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you had to be a future Hall

238
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: of Famer. If you're like in that discussion, you know,

239
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: as long as you're good in the first half of

240
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: the year, then there's the incredible first half of the season. Guys,

241
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: those guys should be All Stars and then there's the

242
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: last three hundred and sixty five days. So in the

243
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: sometimes we don't count playoffs, we don't count how people finish,

244
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: how you finished last year, if you blew up in

245
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs and then you had a good year this year,

246
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: regardless of if you're not a perennial All Star, then

247
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: you can I think you can make an All Star team.

248
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: So those are the three. Would he qualify an under

249
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: any of those three in comparison to Sanchez who's got

250
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: a two point five OERA and has one hundred and

251
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty two strikeouts already, and that's over one hundred and

252
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: fifteen innings. Again about a one to one, slightly above

253
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: one to one. The point about Sanchez is, yeah, you

254
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: have all that other stuff in terms of he's he's

255
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: got bonuses, he's got other things tied to it. The

256
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: part that's that's weird is you know last year he

257
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: only pitched a game because of injuries. You know, he's

258
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: not a guy. Sorry, that was the postseason. I'm sorry.

259
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Regular season last year, Okay, regular season last year, he

260
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: pitched thirty one games. He had a three point three

261
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: to two e ra A. He pitched one hundred and

262
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: eighty one innings and in those one hundred and eighty

263
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: one innings, Uh, he recorded one hundred and fifty three strikeouts.

264
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: So he's been a really good, you know, low three

265
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Zra really good, not an All Star pitcher having an

266
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: outstanding first half of the year. Was was it you

267
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: Jay stew who talked about it on the podcast? I

268
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: think Jase Stu mentioned that, which is it's almost like

269
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: you should have a Christian Letner sort of spot on

270
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the All Star team where just one young up and

271
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: coming guy. Does Missowski feel forced? Yeah, he's also a

272
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: placement guy. It is to get attention, and he has

273
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: at times, again it's only five starts, but at times

274
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: he's just been filthy. Let's ask Aj Priznski Joints. He's

275
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: in Atlanta for the All Star Game. Uh, major League

276
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: Baseball Draft taking place down Atlanta. A lot of things

277
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: taking place in Atlanta. AJ, what's your reaction to Miserowski

278
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: being named the All Star Team?

279
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: Oh? Uh, surprised, I guess it would be my first reaction.

280
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 4: Not shocked, but surprised. Little precedence at last yea Skins

281
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 4: only having one eleven starts when he made it and

282
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: started Mizarowski having only five is a surprise, but hey,

283
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: we want attention on our game. It's an exhibition game.

284
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean anything other than guys are mad because they

285
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: don't get their bonuses. They might have missed out. But listen,

286
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: there's like ninety All stars. Now it used to be

287
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 4: extraordinarily hard. Sorry amount of breath. I was running up

288
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 4: the stairs. But uh yeah, it's it's it's unsurprised that

289
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: some guys are a little bit mad. But it's an exhibition.

290
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Stutg Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,

291
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: but now that you're covering it, now that you're in broadcasting,

292
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: it's just so much different than when we were kids, dude.

293
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean even before, like you were winning a World

294
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Series like when we were kids. Also, game was awesome,

295
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: but part of it was the leagues didn't play each other.

296
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: Every game wasn't on TV. The America in the National

297
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: League were so different. You know, you had like these

298
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: historic players. It was your one chance to see them

299
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: all on the field at once. Now you've got interleague play,

300
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: you got more playoff games. You can watch every game

301
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: right there on on your phone. What are your feelings

302
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: like about watching the All Star Game now as opposed

303
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: to go back to when you're a kid.

304
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 4: Well, having played in All Star Games, I know how

305
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: special they are. Having grown up in the same area

306
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: as you. Watching them was unbelievable. It was like the

307
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: biggest thing in the world, right, like, oh, my gosh,

308
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 4: so and so it's facing Pedro's facing the the you know,

309
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 4: the team, the National League team with all the Hall

310
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: of Famers least punched them all out that year in Boston. Right, Oh,

311
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: you must watch CB. I have to watch this. I

312
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: have to see this. And even before that, it was like,

313
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 4: all right, we've got to find it. We got to

314
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: find a way to tune into the All Star Game

315
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 4: because again, there's no matchups. The eighties and nineties the

316
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 4: early nineties were oh man, this guy never gets to

317
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 4: play against this guy. Let's watch this. It's so cool.

318
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 4: And now with in early play its water down a

319
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 4: little bit, but it's still cool to look up and

320
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: see scoop over schemes as the marquis to start the game. Right,

321
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: It's still cool to to see the guy coming in

322
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: throwing a hundred, trying to get through whatever part of

323
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: the lineup they're in. So as much as I want

324
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: to say, man, it really stinks, I can't say that.

325
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: It's more of like, it's still a really cool thing.

326
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: It's a really cool event and it's by part of

327
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 4: the best All Star game in any sport.

328
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: All right, All Star Game in O two is in Milwaukee, right.

329
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: Home run Derby that year, by the way, was insane.

330
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: We were actually just talking about it. How did you

331
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: find out you were an All Star?

332
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: Got called into the ASAR or they had a thing

333
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: with I was on the Twins and they they just said, hey,

334
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: we every team does this. They had like a little

335
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: meeting of the team and n Gardenhammers our manager, and

336
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: he said, hey, there's our all Stars and it was me,

337
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 4: it was Tory Hunter and it was Eddie Guardado and

338
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 4: it was just awesome. It was personal. People asked me

339
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: about I was fortunately have to be a part of

340
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: the two All Star teams, and the two I was

341
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: at were through the greats. Two thousand and two was

342
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 4: the Tay Game, which changed the All Star Game and

343
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: made it to remember it mattered and we're going to

344
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 4: play American League is nationally the home field advantage and

345
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six. I had like nine of

346
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 4: my teammates there with our whole coaching staff. So two

347
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 4: great All Star games that you part of. I didn't

348
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: have to play in that one, which was even better

349
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: because I just sat there and had had some game

350
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: raids during the game. Didn't have to play. I got

351
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: to watch the American League win. So the Alstar Game

352
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: is still as full as it gets for a baseball player.

353
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, former Major

354
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: League Baseball All Star and World Series champion and Fox

355
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Sports Major League Baseball unless A. J. Perzinski kind of

356
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: to spend some time with us year on the show.

357
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 1: You are the perfect guy to ask this question too.

358
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: You look down and you're like, man, cal Raley thirty

359
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: eight home runs at the break. Wow, But he's a catcher,

360
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: and you, guys, wear down he's and he's he's doing

361
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: in Seattle, which is a hard park. I think it's

362
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: the worst home run hitting park in the league. What's

363
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: so likely that he gets to sixty at thirty eight

364
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: right now?

365
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: Oh don't sure. I hope it happens so catchers can

366
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: get their love for once. But oh man, so it's

367
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: it's amazing how many catchers fall off, and how quick

368
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: they fall off in the second half. He's doing the

369
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: home run derby to night, which I think is awesome.

370
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: Hopefully he doesn't that doesn't You know. People use as

371
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 4: excuse or they're tired or whatever. But Cal's big enough

372
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: and strong enough. He's called enough games in his career

373
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 4: to where he keep doing it. You know, I think

374
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: he can stay in a historic home run pace. I

375
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: don't know, but man, I hope he does it. I

376
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 4: hope he hits sixty. I hope he hits seventy. Yeah,

377
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: let's see it. Why not. It's great for the games,

378
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 4: great for the fans, especially in a place like Seattle.

379
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: So do I think he doesn't know? But do I

380
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 4: want him to do it? Hell? Yeah, I want him

381
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 4: to do it.

382
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: What's wrong with the Dodgers?

383
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: Nothing? What do you mean they go, they go to

384
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 4: sleep for a while, and then they come back. They're

385
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: like co they only have a five game lead, Okay,

386
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 4: we'll extend it to ten, and then you look up

387
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: their ten games up and then they go to sleep

388
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 4: for a while and then they come back. I mean

389
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 4: have injuries, obviously, but I need Mookie Batts to get going. Man,

390
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: I love Mookie, but he's got to keep going. He's

391
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 4: under seven hundred ohps. They need him to go.

392
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: It's weird though, right like the teams that dominated them

393
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: here before the break were the good ones. You know.

394
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't give you any pause that they're not hitting

395
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: when they're playing the Astros, when they're playing the Brewers.

396
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 4: Well, the Astros beat them or remember then they went

397
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 4: and got they swept the Dodgers and the Astros when

398
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: got swept by somebody, I don't remember who it was.

399
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: It was a team that wasn't very good though, So

400
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: it's baseball. No, it doesn't get me paused because they're

401
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. They have the best team, they have the

402
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 4: best roster one through twenty six. They're going to get

403
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: all their guys healthy for when as time, which is

404
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 4: in October, which is all they care about. All they

405
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: want to do is win another ring. They don't care

406
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: about the regular season. They know they're going to be

407
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: in the postseason. And as hollow as that sounds, and

408
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: just like, oh, well, you're saying they don't care, I

409
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: mean they care, but they know they're going to be

410
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 4: in the postseason. And that's what they're all aiming.

411
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: For Stut Gottlieb Show Here on Fox Sports Radio AJ

414
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: we don't hold it again. So maybe a little bit

415
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: on the drop third strike deal. But he makes it

416
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: up to us by joining us as a commentator at

417
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: Fox Sports. You'll see him on the cover of on

418
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: the on the coverage of the l Star Game and

419
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: of the World Series. Okay, so if you're still, hey,

420
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: they got the best roster, Their pitching is gonna get healthy,

421
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: Blake Stell's gonna get healthy. They're still If you had

422
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: to bet a substantial amount of money on one National

423
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: League team to be the biggest challenger come playoff time,

424
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: because there's several options, who would you.

425
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 4: Bet, Uh, well, the Padres that they get in because

426
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: they're not afraid of them, but they're so beat up

427
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: and their offense just isn't the same. I would always

428
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 4: say the Padres. Honestly, I got to see what happens

429
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 4: in the trade deadline, because I would say the Phillies

430
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: and they're starting pitching, but they got to get someone

431
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 4: to close out games. I know Romano has been better,

432
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: but they got to get someone to close out games.

433
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: The Mets. To me, they need to get Manaiah back.

434
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: They need to you know. I got to see it, Doug.

435
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 4: I wish I could say it right now nobody, but

436
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: it after the trade deadline. Philly's and the Cubs and

437
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: the Mets, I think are all are all threats to

438
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: the Dodgers because of what they will do and who

439
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: they're going to try to acquire to make a run.

440
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: I was Matt Holiday is a really good friend of mine.

441
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: I was at his house yesterday when his sun Ethan

442
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: was drafted by the Rockies. Really cool. Matt was drafted

443
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: in ninety eight by the Rockies. Right. But what's interesting

444
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: is I didn't know about the slotting system with the

445
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: draft picks, where it's you basically got a pool of

446
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: money for all your draft picks, and so who's drafted,

447
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: who you take sometimes is based upon not necessarily just

448
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: who you want, but who you can keep and who

449
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: you can get to sign. What's your thoughts on this

450
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: system of how we now have the Major League Baseball draft?

451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 4: I wish you would just go back to whoever you

452
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: can afford. You could pay whatever you wanted to them,

453
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 4: but that's going to happen. I don't love the system

454
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: now because I listen, I have a son who's a

455
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 4: graduated high school is going to go to college. But

456
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: you know, they were talking about him getting drafted, and

457
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: it's all about trying to get people that will sign

458
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 4: for whatever, and in the round doesn't really matter, like

459
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 4: if they were just in the tenth round, and if

460
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 4: you're a tenth rounder, you're better off be an eleventh

461
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 4: rounder because in eleventh they could pay you more than

462
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: they can in the tenth because the money, the way

463
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 4: the rules are, it changes. So it's like, what are

464
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: we doing, Like the highest pick, the best players should

465
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: go in the order and they should have to, you know,

466
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 4: get the money they can get and move on. But

467
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: I mean I've heard and I don't know this that

468
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 4: the reason even didn't go on is because you know,

469
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 4: the Nationals are trying to save money to get to

470
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 4: other players later on in the draft, which they did

471
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: by drafting certain guys later on. They had money saved

472
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 4: up because Eli Willis and God bless Eli Willis or

473
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: being the one to one something could never take away

474
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 4: from him. But he might have taken a little less

475
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: money to help the nationals, and therefore they were we'll

476
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: take him, but just track the best players and try

477
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 4: to sign him out. I don't know why we're trying

478
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 4: to get all fancy, but that's above my paygrade. Dog,

479
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 4: I'm just happy that you know I don't have to

480
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 4: go through it.

481
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: No, but you mentioned your son. I mean, I know,

482
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: he's just he's a stud catcher. When when you watch

483
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: and both you know will it's dad played. Obviously, Ethan's

484
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: dad was was an All Star as well. What's what's

485
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: that like to watch what very likely could be your.

486
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: Future the worse, it's the worst of my kid plays.

487
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: I'm more nervous by far than when I play. It's

488
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 4: so hard. It's so hard to watch them because there's

489
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 4: things they do and you just you just want to

490
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 4: you just want to say no, don't do that, but

491
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 4: you can't because it's their life and they have to

492
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: learn or no, you need to be better. But again,

493
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: they're not you, so it's just a different situation. But man,

494
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: it's so nerve wracking when your player, your kid is

495
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 4: playing and you have no control and you're just like no, no, no, no, no,

496
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 4: like yes, oh, yes, yes, and then they do something cool.

497
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 4: It makes you really happy.

498
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: So talk about your podcast, because you're doing it's called

499
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: out foul Territory, Uh, all baseball, other stuff. What's the

500
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: focus your of your of your Because foul territory is

501
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: outside the lines, what do you cover?

502
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: Well, that's because I was a catcher and I lived

503
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: my life in foul territory. So that's kind of why

504
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: I mean, Aircrafts are both catchers, So we both played

505
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 4: in foul territory. We're the only position that was in

Speaker 1: on our show. When he's with the White Sox as well.

550
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: There there's a guy who when you talked to him

551
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: back then, you're like, he'd be really good on TV

552
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: and radio. Not not a stunner at all. That he's

553

Speaker 1: doing it and doing it really, really well every day.

554
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,120

Speaker 3: This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.

557
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: I love it yet, but we actually have some timely

558
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: information to lead off this edition.

559
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: Of Big Deal, Little Deal, No Deal.

560
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: Doug san Antonio Spurs Star Victor Wembin Yama just told

561
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: the French newspaper Let It Keep that he has been

562
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: cleared to return to action after being shut down on

563
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: last February due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.

564
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: They're seemingly earlier than expected reactivation and clean bill of

565
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: health for Victor one body. I'm a big deal, little

566
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: deal or no deal.

567
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: That's huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, huge deal. His health

568
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: is paramount for them to have success. And I mean

569
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: you hear blood clots and basketball and you're like, I

570
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: could end your career, ended Chris Boss's career. But and

571
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: knowing that he's clear, now that's great because you don't

572
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: want to happen right before the season. Then okay, then

573
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: you start weaning a guy off blood thinners, it's hard

574
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: to go. This is a really good thing.

575
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: And just for further context, that report was broken by

576
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: let a Key reporter maxim A been as opposed to

577
00:31:52,880 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: Audreon war janow Olea shums right right, what's the lay keepers, Yes,

578
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: it's it. It's it's the big time French daily sports newspaper.

579
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of the French equivalent of what The National

580
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: tried to be many months ago.

581
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: But do you know what what lay keep means.

582
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: It means the team, right, yeah, okay, the team.

583
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: It sounds it does sound like a radio. Yeah, like

00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: like here you what if I put to you.

Speaker 2: done well. Staying on that side.

588
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: Question, this is very off topic. I apologize.

589
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: You don't have to apologize. It's your show. You don't

590
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: have to apologize for anything. Did you just call me dog?

591
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 4: All right?

592
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: Well that's that was my ode to Mike and Mad Dog.

Speaker 2: Oh okay dog, oh god hoping.

594
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: My street credit was always like we I don't know

595
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: who I was talking to him. Maybe it was with Chason.

596
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: We're talking about to bucket list, like sporting events to

597
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: go see, Yeah, and part of me does want to

598
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: go see like the Tour de France. But I kind

599
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: of think watching the Tour de France is a lot

600
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: like watching like a golf tournament. Like you only worst

601
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: you can't like chase them down and follow them. Yeah,

602
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: you have to like wait at one spot and then

603
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: shoop shoop shoo, shoop shoo shoohoohoo shoot, and they're like Okay,

604
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: that's done. Now we gotta get another spot, right Is

605
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: that how it works?

606
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: What you want is to like be on top of

607
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: a hill so you kind of get a three sixty

608
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: view that's not just them coming by, so you can

609
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: see all the riders for a long long time and

610
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: make it a total.

611
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: France experience on one of those mopeds that races by

612
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: them and it's like in front of them, I suppose mopeds.

613
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: I'd just rather be on top of a hill with

614
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: my white wine crape suzette and a bag aad. That

615
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: would be the quintessential French experience.

616
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you need it. You definitely need a cigarette.

617
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: Wee okay, and and a beret and things like that. Well, well,

618
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: staying with that sort of international mindset, you know, alluding

619
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: to Jason, I have to admit that this was very

620
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: clever wording on his part. So I will have to

621
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: give him his props. Because our next item, big deal,

622
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: little deal or no deal that Yanick Sinner escaped from

623
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: a karaz to win Wimbledon after dropping the first set.

624
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: Huge huge dues. Right that, Uh, the escape from al

625
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: Karez is a real thing. That's a team that was

626
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: that's a he's a player who people think he's the

627
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: next great one, right, and I think this, you know,

628
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: the the rivalry between the two is a budding rivalry.

629
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: But soon we'll blossom, blossom into something beautiful.

630
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: On of it, onto the NFL. Jalen Hurts apparently voted

631
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: as the ninth best quarterback in ESPN's rankings by head coaches, scouts,

632
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 2: and executives. Big deal, little deal or no deal. He

633
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 2: got the Caitlin Clark slot.

634
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: Apparently, little deal. Like, I don't think he's great either,

635
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: but he's great for how they play, and they win

636
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot with how they play. And yeah, I mean

637
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: it's they They don't need Pat Mahomes to be clearly

638
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: to be successful. So yeah, I think it's a little deal.

639
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: And finally, there appears to be a new romantic sports

640
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: related power coupling. Apparently Clay Thompson and Meghan the Stallion

641
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: have joined forces. Clay Thompson and Meghan the Stallion new

642
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: sports power couple. Big deal, little deal or no deal.

643
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Um, that's a big deal. It's a big The backside

644
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: of that deal is big, big deal, big deal. But

645
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: the funny thing is how Clay Thompson got outed as

646
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: Meghan the Stallion's boo right where she posted a photo

647
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: on the gram and he's like chilling in a chair

648
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: by the pool and people are like, is that Clay

649
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: Thompson behind you? And then I guess the next day

650
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: they posted a picture together like yeah, everybody saw anyway.

651
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm sure after it was posted she said, oops, I

652
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: forgot to crop him out.

653
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: And on that.

654
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: Note, we conclude an other memorable edition of Big Deal,

655
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: Little Deal, or No Deal game.

656
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: This is game time on The Doug Gottlieb Show.
