Spurs Grizzlies. 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: That is the appetizer. The entree will be the Warriors 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: and the Lakers. The Hornets gave up one hundred and 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: forty four points last night to an Undermann Pacers team. 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: Celtics dropped the Wizards thanks to fifty points for Jason Tatum. 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: Say good morning to our radio and TV partners, and 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: if you want to Dinalod's up, you can Age seven 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: seven three D P show email address, DP at Dan 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. If there 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: are any show, Hey, Otani doubters still out there, I'm 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: not sure they're saying anything this week. Hit another home 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: run last night, his fourteen first player to lead the 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: league in home runs and start a game as a 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: pitcher since Babe Ruth. Yep that Babe Ruth. Otani was 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: a curiosity at first, big time pitcher and hitter out 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: of Japan, and the Angels said that he would do both, 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of people, including myself, were skeptical because 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: I was hoping that he would choose to be a 28 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: hitter instead of being a pitcher. But he's been great. 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: His era is a two point one zero, forty strikeouts 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: five starts. He's scheduled to go tonight. The Angels are 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: not taking advantage of Otani's success. They learned Mike Trout 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: yesterday is going to be out maybe two months with 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: a cap string. The Angels just can't get it right. 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: They can't. They've had good players. I mean, you would 35 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: think with Otani, Trout Rendon, like that's a pretty good 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: nucleus there. But you got one of the best players 37 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: in the game. You probably have the player that more 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: people are curious about in Otani. Plus when he hits 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: a home run, it's a home run. There's no doubters, 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, like that's what he hits. He hits no doubters, 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: but you're not winning, and you know, if you're not 42 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: gonna be playing in the playoffs, you just sort of 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind here, and the Dodgers 44 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: make you look even worse. The Padres are better than 45 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: you are, and you know you're just looking for any 46 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: kind of relevancy, and you have that with Otani. Trout's 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: a great player, but he's been in one playoff series 48 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: in his career. Yeah. Do you think Trout's lack of 49 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: sort of big time exposure is pusies with the Angels 50 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: or because of his personality is so low key? Well, 51 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: I think you could have personality and people will talk 52 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: a little bit more about your numbers. I think we 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: genuinely say, well, Mike Trout best player in baseball, and 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: I always say, well, you know, Mookie Betts is pretty 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: good too. There's a couple of players who are in 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: that conversation, and I just think we're going to look 57 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: back on Mike Trout's career and go, wow, those are 58 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: pretty incredible numbers. But it would be like Drew Brees 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: never making the playoffs or Peyton Manning not making the playoffs, 60 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: they put up these incredible numbers and then you go, yeah, 61 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: but never saw him in the postseason. That's the shame 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: of all of this. And it's Mike Trout. How much 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: more can he do? I mean, O Tani, you can say, well, 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: it's not like he can pitch, well, yeah he can pitch. 65 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Well it's not like he can hit, Yeah he can hit. 66 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: He can help you both ways here, But I just 67 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: I think we're going to look back on Mike Trout's 68 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: career and go what was it? Because it's not where 69 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: if you think best players of all time, you know 70 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: they're decorated because they did things in the postseason. You win, 71 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: you get to the postseason, and then when you do, 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: you win. You know, Bonds, there's an asterisk by Bonds 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. But they did go to 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: a World Series. He did have some playoff games with Pittsburgh. 75 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: But you know, his legend was made because of a 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: home run chase. He was a he was best player 77 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: in baseball five tool player, but couldn't get by the 78 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves that famous Sid Breen scoring from second base 79 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: on a you know, a grounder to left field and 80 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: Bonds couldn't throw him out. Not much more than that. 81 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: Felt like the one home run he hit that went, 82 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, could have gone out of the stadium against 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: the Angels. But other than that, like you just remember, 84 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: Bonds was great as a home run hitter. People forget 85 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: what he did in Pittsburgh, and he was a spectacular 86 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: player in Pittsburgh. Yeah, Poet, Mike Trout has been top 87 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: five for MVP every single season he's in the league 88 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: nine years. Bonds didn't do that, Albert pooh Hols didn't 89 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: do that. He never He's never slipped, He's never been off. 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: But like you said, three games opposed season played the 91 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: only Angel all time to lead the Majors in home 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: runs in a season. Actually, he tied for this a 93 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: single season record. Yes, mcleven. Can I take a wild guess? 94 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: Sure what Tim Salmon? Tim Salmon, good guess but not correct? Yes, Todd, 95 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Wally World, Wally Joyner. No, Waldie had a good run, 96 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: But I don't I don't think he kind of leveled 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: off that season. This guy tied Gorman Thomas for the 98 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: most home runs in a season. Reggie Jackson, Yeah, Reggie, 99 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: but that's it. So maybe Shoheyotni, can you know lead 100 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: lead the majors in home runs or the American League. Yeah. 101 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: Mc clevin. I remember that Angels team when I was 102 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: a kid. They had all the old All Stars like Reggie, 103 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: Don Baylorrich Gritch. I don't know if Ton Baylor was 104 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: old at the time, but they felt like they collected 105 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: those older guys. There was a no hitter last night, 106 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Spencer Turnbull no hit the Mariners. That's five no hitters 107 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: through May eighteenth. That ties the nineteen seventeen season for 108 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: most through that date in baseball history. And congratulations the 109 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: Mariners first team since the twenty fifteen Dodgers to get 110 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: no hit twice in the same month. Yeah, they were 111 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: just no hit by the Orioles. John means May fifth. Yes, Todd, 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: that's pretty embarrassing. Thank you, Todd. Than Yeah, I wonder 113 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: what the Angels can do. It just feels like no 114 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: matter what they've tried, you know, it just hasn't worked. 115 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: They can't get to that next level here, and Artie 116 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Moreno has taken chances there, you know, and it always 117 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: feels like, Okay, they're they're signing Rendon, like they're spending 118 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: some money here and every time they spent money just 119 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: it never it never panned out, never went well. The 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Albert Poohole's signing that wasn't good. Yeah, it's really funny though. 121 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: It's such a Dodgers town that the Dodgers had the 122 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: pressure on them the past seven or eight years. They 123 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: get to the World Series and they finally want it, 124 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: but the Angels getting no criticism because relevancy. They don't 125 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: even get in the mix. The Dodgers caught heat for 126 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: years for not winning the World Series, but they were 127 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: in first what six seven years, at least seven years 128 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: in a row. They had to be first place. Well, 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the Angels didn't get good enough to break your heart, 130 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: so their expectations weren't very high. But the Dodgers are 131 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: always high. First of all, their salary, and then you 132 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: have these marquee players. You bring in Mookie Bets, you 133 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: got Clayton Kershaw, you know you got you know when 134 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Don Mattingley was there and Joe Tory was there, like 135 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: you expected great things. Magic Johnson's involved in the ownership, 136 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: so you had star power there. Yeah, Ton, But the 137 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Angels don't even know what they call themselves. Over the 138 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: past several years, they have no identity. They're the California Angels. 139 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: If the Los Angeles Angels of anaheigh, what are they? Yeah, 140 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: that's that's a problem in it of itself. Do not 141 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: know what you could call yourself? What's the poll question? 142 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Mccluven and we're gonna go with in the final hour. Okay, 143 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: So our one was who do you have the Lakers 144 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: of the field? Eighty three percent said the field? So 145 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: we asked, who do you have in the West? If 146 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: not the Lakers, the Jazz are runaway winners. Okay, how 147 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: about our three? Are you cool with the three zo 148 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: swing at home run? Curious to what people will say 149 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: because I think in the year twenty twenty one are 150 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: fine with that. Well, but you have to set it up, 151 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: and it would be harder to set it up in 152 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: a poll question because it's fifteen to four. It's a 153 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: positional player and he's throwing a three zo lollipop up there, 154 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: got it? So it's really about the specific circumstances. You 155 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: don't want to make a blanket. I mean your question 156 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: is what is the unwritten rule? Well, the unwritten rules, 157 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: you don't swing at it. Well, first of all, listen 158 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: to your manager, and he says, don't swing. He says take, take, take, 159 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: and he says that to his player who swings on 160 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: three oz. I have a problem with that. If Tony 161 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Larusa doesn't say take, then this is a little bit 162 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: different conversation. I have a problem that the player, you mean, Mercedes, 163 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 1: didn't listen to Tony LaRussa, who's a hold of famer. 164 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: He's a rookie, he says, I, you know, I've got 165 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: to be myself, as if if you take a walk 166 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: that you're not yourself, or you take a pitch there. 167 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure. But then Tony making all this public, 168 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: he's got to respect his players. They may have disrespected 169 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: the game or whatever. Tony thinks he can't disrespect them 170 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: like you can't go you're disrespecting the game. You're disrespecting 171 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: your player as well. So they're both wrong. Mercedes was 172 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: given the takes on. You listen to your boss. You 173 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: take it. Now, these old school rules, the unwritten rules, 174 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: they drive me crazy. But if you said, you know, 175 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: like we were talking about a no hitter, you know, 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: Fritzie says, oh, you you can't bunt to get on, 177 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: Like are you kidding? Me, Yes, you can bunt. You 178 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: gotta get on. I think it's the ultimate show of 179 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: you got our number. I got a bunt to try 180 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: to get on. But I know that pitchers like Nolan Ryan. 181 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: If you ever tried to bunt on Nolan Ryan, he 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: was gonna throw at you and KEI just you were 183 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: not bunting on him. And I was at that game 184 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: when Johnny Bench tried to bunt on Kenny Holtzman, I 185 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: believe in the seventh inning and trying to break up 186 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: the no hitter. Holdsman threw the no hitter, but and 187 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: Johnny joined his last hour, Like I have no problem 188 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: with that. You get on whatever it takes, hit by pitch, 189 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: whatever all it takes is that. Let's say you get 190 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: another hit somebody, it's a three run homer. Now you're 191 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: in the game. Yes to seeing Johnny Bench square at 192 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: the bunt that you did, you cheer that, Like what 193 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: party would wants to maybe see a no hitter, even 194 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: if it's against your team. That's a nice ticket stuff 195 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: to hold onto, to say that you were at a 196 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: no hitter. No, I don't want my team, no his 197 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: I would love to have been at a no hitter. 198 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: Even at the expensive my team, I know, hit her 199 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: a perfect game and do it against my team. Hopefully 200 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: it's not a playoff game or something. But that's that's fine. 201 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: I want to be able to say I saw history 202 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: and then it's awesome. Rick Wise threw a no hitter 203 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: and hit two home runs against the Reds. I saw history, 204 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: but my team got embarrassed. Oh no, I don't. And 205 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: if you missed out and experiencing a no hitter just 206 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: because of one bunt that was the only hit of 207 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: the game anybody else, I would have been okay, wow, Yeah, 208 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: I would have uh, Zach and Phoenix shown Justizach, what's 209 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: on your mind? He Zach? Two fifty? First time I would, 210 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: I would Zach, Zach, are you are you on a 211 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: submarine or something? You don't You don't sound Yeah, you 212 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: don't sound very good. Try try again your connection. It's 213 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: not good. Sounded like he was on a submarine. Maybe 214 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Chuck and you know, serving our country, Chuck and Virginia. Hi, Chuck, Hey, Dan, 215 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Hey, let's go at it 216 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: at another angle. This This actually happened a little earlier 217 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: this year in baseball. The Braves and the Cubs asked 218 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman. The Braves were pretended nothing, and David Ross 219 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: pretty much gives up. He brings in positional players to 220 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: pitch the seventh to eighth and the ninth inning. And 221 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: you know the dumb rule that relievers have to face 222 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: three batters before they can be taken out. Anthony Rizzo 223 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: struck Freddy Freeman out. He grew up a big sweeping curveball. Yeah, 224 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: and Freeman just swung at it and struck out. He 225 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: didn't want to, you know, And now Rizzo's got that, 226 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: you know on Freeman swing it then yeah, I mean, 227 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: you know, hey, you're mean, I agree with you. You know, 228 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: if Larissa gives the takes, hie don't swing. But then again, hey, 229 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: another brave story. The other night they're down to nothing. 230 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: They scored seven runs in the seventh inning. So I 231 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: don't think guinea lead is safe and I say, go ahead, 232 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: all right, Well, thank you Chuck. By the way, nine 233 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: of the fourteen home runs hit by Otani this year 234 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: have been at least four hundred and twenty feet. He's 235 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: got one at four fifty one. That was the first 236 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: one he hit this season. You know, when the ball 237 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: comes off your bat, like Jock Peterson. First time I 238 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: heard a ball go off his bat and I'm like, 239 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, that's a different sound. Otani has that 240 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: where you just go wow, that's different. And plus you're 241 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: able to hear the ball in the bat because you 242 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: know the the ambiance sound is not as loud because 243 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: the crowds aren't there. But man, there's certain guys that 244 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: you just hear it. Dick Allen, if you're old enough 245 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: to remember the great Dick Allen, he might have had 246 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: the heaviest bat in baseball history, and when he hit it, 247 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: he hit it, it hurt like you could just it 248 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: was a different sound that some of these guys have. 249 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Mo and Arizona, Hey moy for one. You gotta check 250 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: out the other guys with Will Ferrell and Wallburn. Hilarious. Okay, um, 251 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: let's let's call these rules what they really are. These 252 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: are not called unwritten rules, are called protect the picture rules. 253 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: Everything is designed to protect the picture. You can't celebrate 254 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: when you hit a home runner. He's gonna go at you. 255 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: You can't, but you can't, but you can't get to 256 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: hit it. The guys getting the guy's picturing a no 257 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: hitter I mean, and then what happens when the picture 258 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: one gets away from him and he hits the guy. 259 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: There's not really really pioty for the picture. I mean, 260 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: so you know, there's nothing protecting the hitter. Everything's protecting 261 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: the picture. All right, Well, thank you, Mo. It's just 262 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: it's different now in Tony's old school. But but this 263 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: is I understand. You want to protect the integrity of 264 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: the game. Well, you know what, protect your player first, 265 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: and the integrity of the game is not bringing in 266 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: a positional player like I mean, come on, the integrity 267 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: of the game. Hey, John, come on out of left field. 268 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: I want you to pitch a little bit here. Where's 269 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: the integrity of the game. Come on, come on in, 270 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: throw a couple of throw some VP here. Yeah, I 271 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: think baseball should that's only the people you could bring in. 272 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: You put out ten guys, right, and then if the 273 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: starting pitcher, uh just like doesn't have it that day 274 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: and it is really terrible, you're like, all right, left 275 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: field or come on in your pitching now, and then 276 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: the pitcher goes out to left field. I think it 277 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: should only be these guys. Well, then I really like 278 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Shoheyutani on my team. I wonder if you could make 279 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: him a reliever. I go, I'm just trying to figure 280 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: out how to preserve him, because when you blow out 281 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: your arm with Tommy John, then you can't even be 282 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: a hitter for me. I want you at worst case, 283 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: you can still hit for me because that bat, like 284 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: think of all of I don't know if Otani's the 285 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: biggest thing or best show in sports, but the curiosity 286 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: factor would be at an all time high if they 287 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: were more prominently featured, if he was able to do 288 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: what he's doing and he did it in important games 289 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: or a bigger stage. There's a guy who's throwing a 290 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: hundred and he has fourteen home runs. We haven't seen 291 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: anything like this. Yeah, point, high end closers throw about 292 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: sixty to ninety innings this season, no more really than eighty. 293 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: I got a really good closer throws about eighty innings 294 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: this season. A high end starter, you're looking at two 295 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty plus ennings. I know it, just is 296 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: it less dangerous to be a reliever obviously with numbers 297 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: and wear and tear. You think so, But aren't you 298 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: throwing harder as reliever more often? I don't know, but 299 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: not for a long period of time. Right if you 300 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: just said he has a pitch count and he can 301 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: only go one inning, like he only gets three outs. 302 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know if he'll ever 303 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: get to that Sean in California. Then we'll take a break. 304 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: Marv Albert will join us. Hey, Sean, Hey, my uncle 305 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: from another mother.

So my take real quick, man, 309 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: is hey clutch job by the Toddler to get Johnny 310 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: bench on so fast? But man, since when do we 311 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: let guys with squeaky shoes call out? Who saw? Since 312 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 1: when does the guy who covers his test paper so 313 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: none of the jocks or any of the cheliders could 314 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: cheat off him? When does he get to make the 315 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: call out? Was harder? Was not hard? Man, Todd?

But they didn't like that 321 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: test for three weeks and then some kids I didn't 322 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: even realize we had a test that day. It's just 323 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: gonna take my answers, but then you cheated. I did 324 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: do a few questions both. There was more checking my 325 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: answers with my friend no, no, no no, because that's 326 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: all I did in chemistry class off Greg Sliger. I 327 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: just wanted to check my answers to his answers, and 328 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: I realized that my answers weren't the same as his, 329 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: and then I changed them. Yea, you know, there's no 330 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: did you change any of your answers when you were 331 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: comparing notes with somebody else? Rarely, but there were a 332 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: couple of times where I'm like, I had be and 333 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: I guess maybe at Sea that's cheat on my left 334 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: and right seem and who were very bright seemed to 335 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: think at Sea for this one, that's cheating. But I 336 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: still think it's different than having it blank. And then 337 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: you're like, then you you have nothing to add or write. 338 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: You don't know what to put down, and then you 339 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: write thirty seven and two thirds or whatever on a 340 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: math test because you went from nothing to an answer. 341 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: But if you look then at you know, Greg paulis 342 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: whoever is sitting Actually I forget the kid's name, and 343 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: he's like this covering up his paper so you can't 344 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: compare notes. I can feel, Yeah, I can't get agree 345 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: with that because that's how I feel. I did not 346 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: like when someone that was like, oh, yeah, I midtime today, 347 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I've been I've been worrying about this 348 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: for like a month. You didn't know it's a mid time. 349 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't fathom that. And he's's gonna copy my answer. 350 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: There's Todd that's shod walking up to the teacher to 351 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: go tell on somebody else. Um, Tommy is cheating off 352 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: my papers right now. I did do something once who 353 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: I had my great change from a ninety six to 354 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: ninety eight because I argued something with the teacher and 355 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: someone I think who had a sixty six got a 356 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: sixty four and went from past to fail because the 357 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: teacher realized there was a mistake and my answer was right. 358 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: So I kind of screwed over a classmate, which was 359 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: not my attention. Yeah, Paul, how many wedgies did you 360 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: get in school for he I mean they had it 361 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: like thirty you would have just I got shoved own 362 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: a flight of stairs once, like early high school, and 363 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with not allowing someone to cheat 364 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: on my paper. They just look at this kid. He 365 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: looks like someone that needs to be shoved down. A fighter. Yeah, club, 366 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: but he was gigantic in high school. He was the 367 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: most buff kid in his school. Though later I think 368 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: it was after this was like seventeen eighteen, towards the 369 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: towards junior senior year high school. At the beginning of 370 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: high school, I'm heading to the gym for gym class 371 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: and someone just shoved me and my books are falling 372 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: out of my bag and I'm panicking and my papers 373 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: are falling out.

I'm kidding. 406 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: I just felt fifty five years of NBA and near 407 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: sixty and broadcasting overall, it's it's enough. And my two pugs, 408 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: Trixie and Madison, insisted that I spend more time with them. 409 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: My wife had a kind of on the fence in 410 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: that area. But I think I will miss a lot 411 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: of things about broadcasting, particularly the NBA. It's more the 412 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: preparation and you know, the people that you deal with, 413 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: and and the people in the NBA, particularly the coaches 414 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: who you get to know so well over the years, 415 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: and many who I worked with when they turned to broadcasting. 416 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: But I won't feel it, Dan, I think until next 417 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: November when the season starts, because I normally have the 418 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: summer anyway. So as I said, I just I just 419 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: think it was time. I don't want to be one 420 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: of those people who you know, just keeps going and going. 421 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: I probably could have gone a few more years, but 422 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: I thought this was the right time. I was wondering 423 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: that you were calling Rangers games, calling Knicks games, so 424 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: it was territorial there, and then when you started to 425 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: do national broadcast, I didn't know if any network executive 426 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: tried to change you and your style or voice to 427 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: have it conformed to I guess what we think should 428 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: be a national broadcaster instead of a local one. Yeah, 429 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: you know that. I think that's changed now when you 430 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, you listen to the networks over the air 431 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: or cable people who are doing games, you have different styles. Now. 432 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: I think that's really changed to the type of voice 433 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: or the type of style where everything was kind of straight, 434 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: too straight laced in terms of the presentation. Uh No, 435 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: no one ever tried, I must say, but that may 436 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: have something to do with the fact the networks were 437 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: all stationed primarily in the New York area and they 438 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: hurt me there, so it was acceptable there and there 439 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: was a degree of success there, so they never had 440 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: anybody say anything like that. No greatest performance you ever 441 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: witnessed on the basketball floor in a game you called, 442 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: there were a number of them, I can tell you. 443 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: In terms of an event the ninety two Dream Team, 444 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: which I was fortunate to broadcast for NBC. That was 445 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: I got the chills when they first came out in 446 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: the Tournament of America's. I remember that they had to 447 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: qualify in Portland, Oregon, and you see the greatest team 448 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: ever assembled in sports history. You know what, they all 449 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: weren't walked out on the court and got the standing 450 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: ovation Michael and Magic and stocked it in Barkley and 451 00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: Bird and so odd Malone. That was a an incredible moment. 452 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: In terms of major games, several of them involved Michael Jordan, 453 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: the Flu Game, the six threes against Portland when he 454 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: wasn't really a three point shooter. But I recall he 455 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: came out early, way before the guys came out to 456 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: warm up, just to shoot freeze and then he hit 457 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: the sixth and I was working with the tzar Mike Protello, 458 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: you recall that name, and also Magic Johnson, and then 459 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: Michael had that shrug when he hit the sixth looking 460 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: over towards our table. He was actually looking at Michael, 461 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: although Mike Protello claims he was giving him a side 462 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: and looking at him, which wasn't wasn't the case, but 463 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: that was one of the great thrills. Who were also 464 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: situations in my days with the Knicks when they won 465 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: their first championship in sixty nine seventy there were several 466 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: dramatic games when Willis Reid got heard, people thought he 467 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: was not going to play in Game seven, and then 468 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: he walked out out of the court late in warmups, 469 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: and I recall the Laker team just stopped and stared. 470 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain couldn't believe that Willis was taking the court 471 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: and he hit two jump shots early and I was 472 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean that basically that was his contribution except for 473 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: the fact that he inspired them, and it was really 474 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, it was one of the great moments in 475 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: New York sports when they won, because they had they 476 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: had never won a championship. Then they won in seventy three, 477 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't quite the same feeling they won in LA 478 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: so you didn't have the New York fans on hand. 479 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: But that was just a terrific team because of the 480 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: style they played with, you know, the ball movement, kind 481 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: of like Phil Jackson's triangle in later years, and it 482 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: was such a smart team. You know, Bill Bradley and 483 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: was on that team, although he was injured that year 484 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: and David Buscher Willis Clyde. People forgotten game seven because 485 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: all the conversation dealt around Willis playing. But Walt Frasier 486 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: had one of the all time greatest playoff games. He 487 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: had thirty six points, nineteen assists, seven rebounds, and that 488 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: sometimes has forgotten except when Clyde mentions it on the air. Well. 489 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: He was also going against Jerry West. I think he 490 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: also had six steals in there, it was, and he 491 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: didn't win MVP. Willis gott MVP right, he did. Yes, 492 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: he had some games, good games early, but he got 493 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: hurt actually in game five. And that was Red Holsman, 494 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: who was the head coach, accepted input from his players, 495 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: particularly Bradley and the Busher and there were no other 496 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, there were no assistant coaches in those days. 497 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: But Bradley and the suggested a movement offense that really 498 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: worked against a Laker team that was you know, his 499 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: Chamberlain West. Uh, it was. It was they were a 500 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: super team. Although they all you know, Jerry West just 501 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: won the one championship as it turned out, as great 502 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: as he was, but it was really the Busher and 503 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: Bradley's input. So I think that had a lot to 504 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: do with it, because now you see ventures where you 505 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: know they're hand coaches, you know, five sitting behind the 506 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: regular venture and it's it's a completely different situation, and 507 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's advanced so h dramatically in recent years 508 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: in terms of what the coaches do in the video 509 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: work and the analytics. It's so different than the basics 510 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: that Red Holsman a Red hour Back had, and of 511 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: course both had great success. What's the strangest thing you 512 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: ever witnessed on the basketball floor? Well, this was on 513 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: the floor and off the floor, and I would be 514 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: the Finals game nineteen ninety four. That was Nick Houston 515 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: and it was June's seventeenth, I believe, And I'm doing 516 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: the game courtside, and all of a sudden, people are 517 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: looking at the monitors which were at the press table 518 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: and it was the day of the O. J. Chase, 519 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: and I'm going back and forth with the basketball play 520 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: by play and Tom broke off back in the NBC 521 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: studio and the players are wondering what's going on. In 522 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: in fact, pat Riley asked what's happening? And Kenny Smith, 523 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: who was there with the rockets, was right at the 524 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: nick bench. It was it was a lull in the 525 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: action and Riley asked them, what's going on? He said, 526 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: Kenny says to Pat chasing O. J. Simpson, which is 527 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: not giving you much information now, But this went on 528 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: right throughout people who would near courtside when the press 529 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: was at courtside, and they had also TV monitors just 530 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: hunched over all the newspaper then and watching the chase 531 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: as this game is going on in the finals. I 532 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: would say that's that was the most bizarre I've been 533 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: ever been part of the other crazy moments I had 534 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: what I was doing the Olympics for NBC and eighty 535 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: eight and Soul the Shamshill Students Gymnasium where the boxing 536 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: was held, and it was such a crazy setup and 537 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: it came out later as we suspected. There were so 538 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: many fights being fixed and you know those all kinds 539 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: of stuff going on. But they had two rings going 540 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: at the same time, so you had bouts and one 541 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: one ring and in another area you had bouts going 542 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: on and the you know the bell that ends rounds 543 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: from the ring, so at the far side would be 544 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: heard at the near side and boxes would stop and 545 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: a couple of times guys were knocked out because they 546 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: stopped fighting off the bell they thought the round was over, 547 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: you know. And that was That was also the series 548 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: of fights where Roy Jones was robbed a decision and uh, 549 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: there's another Uh you won the call Marble when the 550 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: the was it the Bruins and Rangers? And is this 551 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: when you had the fight in the stands? Were you 552 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: on the call with that one? You know? No, I wasn't. 553 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: I was doing a nick game out of town. But 554 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: that was that was the situation where the Bruins actually 555 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: went up into the stands, which was to the right 556 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,239 Speaker 1: of our broadcast booth, which was very low that at 557 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: the at the garden was older what they call a 558 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: vomitory where the players came out. So I missed that one. 559 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: Was Mike Milbury involved that he was beating somebody with 560 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: his shoe? Yes, yeah, yeah, I saw far too many 561 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: fights when I was doing hockey, but I tried to 562 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: use my boxing play by playing skills at the time. 563 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: But I mean, I thought they had a pretty good 564 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: hand a lot in terms of cutting down on it. 565 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, I mean, but I think there was the 566 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: feeling that this is part of what is attractive to 567 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: a segment of fans. And then we saw the Tom 568 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: Wilson situation a couple of weeks ago again the Rangers, 569 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: and it was terrible, you know, so you know, I 570 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: was still wondering this this time. You know, next year 571 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: in the fall. This sounds like something Letterman would have 572 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: done as his skit. He would have you down at 573 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: the park calling little kids playing basketball play by play 574 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: because you're you're retiring, right, Yeah, that sounds like something 575 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Letterman was doing. Like we had a similar skit once 576 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: where I'm calling the game. It's funny you mentioned this 577 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: because it was I was sitting on a couch in 578 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: his office. He had a basketball game on, and he 579 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: asked me, this was a skit, it's a comment and 580 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: call the game. So so Letterman has you on his 581 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: couch and you're watching a basketball game. Yeah, yeah, and 582 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: then he tells me to cut it out. Yeah I 583 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: was savod. Yeah. Also, you're doing play by play watching 584 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: the game with Dave, and Dave doesn't want to hear 585 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: you do exactly. Actually, you know that's the way I started. 586 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: And my brothers Alan Stegh who also did NBA games. 587 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: We would turn down the sound of the TV and 588 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: do games on our tape recorder. And my son Kenny 589 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: did the same with basketball and hockey, and we had 590 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: our own fictitious radio station. And it was great practice 591 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: at the time. Little did I know that I'd be 592 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: doing virtual calls these days of the television set, you know. 593 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: So I was good, good practice for what's taking place 594 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: now with both TNT and ESPN. Great to talk to you, 595 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 1: have fun during the postseason, and please get my best 596 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: to Heather, and thanks thanks for joining us Mark anytime.

That's Marv Alburn 599 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: going to retire at the end of the postseason. And 600 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: I remember being in college and I had guys who 601 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,959 Speaker 1: came from the East Coast and we would talk about 602 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: play by play voices and I was lucky Al Michaels 603 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: was doing the Reds games. He was really young at 604 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: the time, and I had these guys from New York 605 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 1: saying we got the best play by play announcer. He's 606 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: Marv Albert, best play by play announcer. And I had 607 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: not heard Marv growing up and then all of a 608 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: sudden I heard him, and I go, well, if you're 609 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: a New Yorker, you like that. And then all of 610 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: a sudden you realize that Marv was going to be 611 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: far more than just the Knicks and the Rangers, but 612 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: the number of games, like I don't know if anybody 613 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: can come close to what Marv has done for a career, 614 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: like fifty five years of calling everything, and it wasn't 615 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 1: just basketball, it wasn't just hockey now football. I mean, 616 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: he's that's pretty incredible, and I'm so fortunate we as 617 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: an audience are fortunate that if you think of all 618 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: the great broadcasters who had like Vince Scully, Chick Hearne, 619 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, even if I look at Jim Nance, who's 620 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: only sixty two, al Michaels, I mean, there's so many 621 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: of these, you know, Keith Jackson and these guys are 622 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: still doing it at a high level. But to have 623 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: basically my entire life, I grew up with great broadcasters, 624 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 1: great play by play voices, legendary play by play voices, 625 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: and I don't know what it's going to be like, 626 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, the next generation. I can't imagine it'd be 627 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: better than this. Because these guys kept these jobs for 628 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: fifty years, sixty years and stayed at a really high level. 629 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: Very very fortunate.

Yeah. 660 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: I always I try to get through everything and just 661 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: sometimes we run out of time. Yes. See, the Minnesota 662 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: Vikings is a total left turn. Okay, but the Minnesota 663 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: Vikings just tweeted a video sometimes the last like thirty 664 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: minutes or so, just a friendly reminder that Randy Moss's 665 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: forty plus yard t D highlight reel is nearly ten 666 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: minutes long, and there's I don't know how many different 667 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 1: touchdowns there are in here, but it's all of these 668 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: like five second clips of Randy mosskowing forty over forty 669 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. It's ten minutes long. Okay, yeah, pull. 670 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: This became a top in the past few hours because 671 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: a pro football writer I'm not sure his name, I 672 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: want to get wrong, tweeted out, is Travis is Tyreek 673 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,320 Speaker 1: Hill the greatest deep threat in NFL history? He asked, 674 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: He didn't say, but he said he's one of them, 675 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: And a lot of people responded with a lot of 676 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: different deep threat players, but a lot of Randy Moss 677 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 1: love today. Okay, that seems like one of those where 678 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: Randy Moss is almost like, by far the best deep threat. 679 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: But is he You knew what was coming and you 680 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: still couldn't stop it in his career. I'd have to 681 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: look at numbers here. I mean, Randy obviously was incredible, 682 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: But when I think of deep threat, Bob Hayes is 683 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: the greatest deep threat I ever saw because he had 684 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: world class speed, not track speed, world class track speed 685 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: when he played for the Cowboys. Yes, I just love that. 686 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: When Randy Moss would get off the line, he'd do 687 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: like a little move on whatever defensive back and he'd 688 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: just start running and he'd point up. He'd just do 689 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: the arm up and you're better get the ball over 690 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: this the way because this dude is gone and he 691 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: oh man, I don't know who there were guys who 692 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: averaged I think more per catch, but I don't know 693 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: the number of touchdowns. Is that what they're basing it 694 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: on the number of touchdowns over forty yards? Well, I 695 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 1: guess deep threat is pretty generic. But like Randy Moss's 696 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: first year in the league, he only caught sixty nine passes, 697 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: seventeen of them were touchdowns, and he avers nineteen yards 698 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: to catch. And a lot of the highlights you see 699 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: of Randy Moss, like you said, he might not have 700 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: had the fastest speed. He's being covered by two guys 701 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: and the two guys look feeble, and he beats both 702 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: of them for the ball, a lot of them. Yeah, yeah, 703 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: mcclen you don't get some love in that category. Bizarrely, 704 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: Don Hudson of the Packers, he's back in the day 705 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: you only caught long touchdowns. Well know, Hudson was I 706 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: think a great like a really fast runner. I think so. 707 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: He averaged one year twenty three yards per catch, like 708 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: he got bombs all over. Who was the other player? 709 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: Lance Alworth was a a fast receiver too, like hey, 710 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: he had a graceful gates about him. But I think 711 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: Don Hudson was considered at the time one of the 712 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: fastest players in the NFL if I'm correct. What they're 713 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: guys who really their job was all they did was 714 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: long with like Cliff Branch deep. Yeah, all they did 715 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: was deep? Really yeah? Yeah? Yeah. I saw this thing 716 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: on the NFL network. You may remember this guy day 717 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four, rookie with the Rams, Bucky Pope. 718 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: His nickname was like Katabah Claw. He caught twenty five passes, 719 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: ten of them for touchdowns. He averaged thirty two yards 720 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: to catch that. Somebody cover Bucky deep? Yeah yeah, hey, 721 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: I think Bucky's gone deep? What is he blows by you? There? 722 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: There's another wide receiver, Don Hudson. I'm trying to think 723 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: who this receiver, Paul Warfield. Paul Warfield was he was 724 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: almost like Lance Alworthy. They just had such poetry when 725 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: they ran. They'd been beautiful athletic acrobatic. Yeah, Paul Warfield 726 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: was a wonderful, wonderful wide receiver to watch. The stay 727 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: in sports history, Paulieu. The NFL Draft was enacted by 728 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: the NFL in nineteen thirty five.

The Eagles took him. They couldn't negotiate with him. 732 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: He wanted too much money. They traded his rights to 733 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: the Bears. He wanted too much money in the Bears 734 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: and sent him. He never played professional football. Yeah, he 735 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: sold rubber products rather, Nothing wrong with that, Todd.
