WEBVTT - HOUR 2- John Smoltz Oct 08, 2020 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.680 Sports Radio. Are we going to have a forfeit in 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.800 the NFL this weekend? Welcome in. Got some breaking news 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:14.480 that we're following Matt and Miller NFL draft scouts. An 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.919 insider for Bleacher Report tweeted out last hour a lot 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.079 of chatter the NFL could make the Titans forfeit their 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:25.080 game against the Buffalo Bills as a punishment for violating 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.880 COVID protocols. The Titans players held a workout at a 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.640 Nashville school with the team facility closed. The head coach, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.239 Mike Vrabels said yesterday that players were told not to 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.720 hold any group workouts. We ask our players in light 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.160 of recent tests, to not gather, whether that's a league 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:50.080 protocol or us asking them, so we can't just avoid 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.080 close contact and we can try to work through this 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.000 and get back into the building to prepare for Buffalo 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.600 as quickly as possible. Week four's game against the Steelers 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.520 resk eduled for October twenty fifth because of the positive 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.720 test there. The Titans are scheduled to host the Buffalo 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.080 Bills this Sunday. That is in doubt right now, that's 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.400 in serious jeopardy. But the big news is could the 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.640 NFL make the Titans forfeit this game as punishment for 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:25.160 violating COVID protocols? Now, Mike Rabel didn't sound as demonstrative 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:30.000 as hey, we told them absolutely positively, no workouts. You 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.360 can't do like you can't be vague on anything. The 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.960 NFL can't be vague on any of this, And that's 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.440 what I would want to know. What were you told? 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.679 What did the NFL say to the Titans because they 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.840 can't go to the facility. Were they told you cannot 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.600 have any workouts here? Did Mike Vrabel say to his 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:52.440 players you cannot gather, But these players don't know if 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.600 the game is going to be played this weekend. They 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.280 got together, you know, we can't go to the facility. 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.480 We're not supposed to work out, but we got to 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.280 work out. We don't want to go into a game unprepared, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.839 and you got a game against an undefeated Buffalo Bills team. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.880 So that's what's going on right now as we speak. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.000 There's a chance the Titans will have to forfeit this 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.320 game coming up this weekend as punishment for violating the 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.120 safety protocols. Welcome to the program eight seven seven three 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.480 d P show email address TP at dan Patrick dot 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.480 com or Twitter handle is at dp's show. Some of 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.400 the other headlines here Buccaneers at the Bears coming up tonight, 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.200 No NBA tonight. Don't want to go against the NFL. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.000 Lebron and company try to go for a series clinching 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.440 win on Friday night. The Saints will stay in New Orleans. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.560 There was a chance they were going to relocate to Indianapolis. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.880 They have a game with the Chargers coming up on 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.640 Monday night, and they were at least looking at the 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.480 possibility of playing the Chargers in Indianapolis on Monday night. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:03:00.240 Braves win, A's win, Rays win, Dodgers win. John Olts, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.720 the Hall of Famer, was on the call last night 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.320 of the Padres and the Dodgers had had some great 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.160 moments there, fun moments. We'll talk to Smolt about that 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.600 whole question. McLevin, what do you have for us today? 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.400 We say good morning to our radio Philliates number three 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.639 hundred and seventy five and also our TV partner Peacock. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.480 Would you rather rob a home run to win a 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.200 game or hit a home run to win a game? 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.400 Where it's sixty hit a home run. Yeah, I guess 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.840 I would rather rob somebody of a home run because 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.400 it doesn't happen very often. You know, we've seen a 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.960 lot of home runs, walk off home runs. I was 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.840 there with Joe Carter when I was in Skydom in 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.000 Toronto when they beat the Phillies and Joe hit that 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.480 home run, and that was a magical moment to witness that. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:49.000 And you know, but to be able to rob somebody 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.160 of a home run, that's just like Malcolm Butler when 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:57.520 he robbed Seattle of a Super Bowl win. Mike Jones 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.280 to a lesser degree when he had the tackle on 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.800 Dyson with the Titans, then the Rams and the Super Bowl. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.720 I mean, Malcolm Butler won a Super Bowl. He won 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:15.080 it individually. He won it that decision to somehow, you know, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.000 get in between the you know, the wide receiver and 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.960 the football and make that catch and that that gave 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.600 New England a Super Bowl, won a Super Bowl. So 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.120 if you said, I could be Santonio Holmes and catch 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.119 a touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.159 from Ben Roethlisberger as the Steelers beat Arizona in the 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.200 Super Bowl, or I could be Malcolm Butler. We'll remember 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.640 Malcolm Butler's play long long after we remember Santonio Holmes. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:47.400 We will There was some chatter about J. J. Watt 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.520 and the role that he may have played and getting 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.640 his coach fired, Bill O'Brien, and I guess there was 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.400 an altercation as far as a heated exchange between Bill 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.359 O'Brien and J. J. Watt. This was during a recent 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.479 practice and the incident also included a defensive coordinator who 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.320 took place in the week leading up to the winless 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.320 Texans Week three loss to the Steelers, and sources confirmed 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.279 ESPN a verbal blow up at practice and that the 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:21.400 incident was when O'Brien quote lost the team Titans our 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.880 Texans now owned four and O'Brien was fired as the 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.320 head coach, and JJ Watt, of course, the three time 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.400 Defensive Player of the Year, said yesterday he's looking forward 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.000 to a fresh start after O'Brien was fired. I'm not 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.480 going to talk to you about what happened at practice 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.279 or what conversations were had or whatever it may be, 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.240 Watt said. The situation is what the situation is, and 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.200 we right now have a fresh start and we had 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:52.640 a good practice today, we're looking forward to Jacksonville and 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.440 sounds like he's with the Patriots. Do you remember when 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.479 we had JJ Watt on we had this clip. I 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.640 played this clip. This is from back in June, and 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.840 JJ is ask about Bill O'Brien and I saw this 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.799 unfold live and I went, oh my god, it looked 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:20.160 so awkward and sounded so awkward. And I'll let you 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.880 reminisce or judge for yourself. Here is JJ Watt asked 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.599 about Bill O'Brien and what makes him such a good coach? 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.960 You're there on the inside. What makes Bill O'Brien a 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.680 good head coach? He's got two new play callers with him. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.039 It's a little bit different role. What makes him good 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.880 at leading this team? I think his job is to 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.119 is to do just that is, to lead the team, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.440 is to obviously he's more of an offensive guy defensive guy, 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.160 so it's it's to lead the overall team, but then 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.880 to lead the offense and now with his other roles 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.680 as well as to general manages to do everything within 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.600 the organization. That's that's his role, and I think that's 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.800 what obviously he excels at M. I don't think there's 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.920 a compliment in there, and the body language is terrible. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:14.920 He's like, oh god, how do I say something without 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.320 really saying something? How does Derek Jeter do it all 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.040 these years that you look like you're saying something, you 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.200 don't say anything. Yeah? Yeah, boy. And JJ is a 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.400 good ass dude. He can talk nice about anybody. Yes 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.000 he can. Yeah, he's the head coach. He's got the 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.000 parking spot and the parking spots is I mean, we 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.000 got the head coach title there. And by being the 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:35.520 head coach, that means he runs the team. Hence head coach. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.760 He's the head of the team. And that's all I 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.560 really want to say about that. And he's an offensive 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.360 minded guy and uh you know that. Yeah, yeah, okay, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:49.120 next question there. Uh So now then I think part 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.800 of the ownership came out and said, hey, we weren't 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.320 going to be able to resign DeAndre Hopkins. I we 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.560 all know that. I just I just told you, you 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.400 know before most people did that they're gonna trade him. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.760 That that was you know, it's one of those everybody 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.560 knew it, and inside with the Texans, and I was 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.960 told by somebody with the Texans, like, no, he's gone. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.520 He and Bill don't get along. He wants out and 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.560 he wants to get paid. My problem was you didn't 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.400 get anything for him. And DeAndre Hopkins is leading the 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.240 NFL and catches right now, So that that was the 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.600 only point that I was bringing up with that. And 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.080 I don't know Bill O'Brien, and he might. He just 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.439 strikes me as he's going to be a coordinator someplace. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.400 But to be a head coach and a GM, you know, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.040 it's tough enough to be a head coach. So I 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.280 don't know what's going to happen as far as you know, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.560 filling that void there, But there's probably gonna be five 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.480 or six, you know, openings here by the end of 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.080 the year. Yes, mclovin. Yeah. Dabbo, by the way, said 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.640 he's not going answer questions about the Texans and doesn't 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.360 want to go and he shouldn't answer them even if 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.640 he wants to go there. I wouldn't answer those questions 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.160 right now. He's got a football season to prepare for. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.720 You can't hire somebody like you can't bring in an 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.040 assistant coach like Eric b Enemy for the Chiefs and 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.400 go okay, here you go in the middle of a season. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.800 You know there's rules that prevent you from doing that. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.640 If Dabo, Hey, I'm worried about Miami this weekend. Yes, Polly, 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.319 I just smelled Deavo getting a big pay raise right 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.520 January ninth, Hey, we just signed an eight year extension 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.560 of Dabo Switty for blah blah blah blah blah doesn't 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:30.120 remember less Miles. Whenever less Miles wanted to raise, he 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.440 would just say, let me see you. I can call 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.720 my friend at who's the ad at Arkansas? Hey? Can 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.400 you can you act like you're interested in me again? Yeah? 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:45.200 But I don't know. Let's say something different this time. Yeah, 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.240 I'll get you something. I'll get you a nice gift here, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.839 I get your bass boat. Okay, I just say you 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.400 like me and you're thinking, and we'd be crazy not 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.199 to consider less Miles and LSU announcing Less Miles is 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.400 signed a contract extension through the year three thousand and 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.160 fifty seven. Even let's see what else did I see? 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.320 I'm gonna play this again for you because I Seton 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.600 brought this up a couple of days ago, and he said, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.120 you know what, I was watching this play and it 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.800 reminded me of we don't have this kind of ambiance 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.080 in the bubble, like this is what we really miss. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.440 NBA did a great job. They pulled this off. We're 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.760 gonna have a champion in the NBA. Then they'll regroup, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.000 probably start the season at the end of January. But 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.520 you miss these moments, and this moment taking place in 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.600 Golden State Game seven. It was twenty sixteen, the NBA Finals, 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.199 And here's the call by Mike Breen on ABC. Each 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.760 team has a foul decaft if we come up on 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.000 a minute remaining and they put it, Curry in to 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:54.440 pick a role, trying to get them on Irving, Irving 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.360 and Curry one on one, Irving puts it up match 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:04.280 god Tyree Irvingtowntown the Cavaliers by three. That's what you miss. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.280 That's on the road and Mike Breen and Mark Jackson 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.520 are struggling, just to you know, they're battling the crowd there, 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.040 and that's what I miss. Now, we haven't had that 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.400 many exciting plays in the NBA Finals, but we have 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.480 had that in another series here. But you know, it's 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.000 they're doing their best. It's a sterile environment. They've tried 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.320 to amp it up a little bit even baseball. Last 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:31.040 night watching it football, it feels like there is a 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.520 crowd there, you know, but we don't see that crowd. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.319 So you're okay with just hearing the noise. When you 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.000 see that there's no crowd in Major League Baseball, there's 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.760 no crowd, then you realize, hey, this is kind of 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.760 a trick that they're playing on us. But the NFL, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880 they've done a pretty good job with that. Yeah, mcclub, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.880 I'm watching Derek Fisher's game winning NBA Finals. It's like 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.000 he rises up out of the crowd, which are all 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.040 standing on their feet visually too. You're right, it's but 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.440 that is that one of the reasons ratings are down. Well, 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.520 I don't know. I mean, I watch I don't. I 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.000 never care about ratings. I couldn't care less. Like, if 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.560 I watch it, I want to watch it if there's something, 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.000 you know, great that happens. If it's boring, you know, 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.920 then you know, you decide what you want to watch, 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.520 when you want to watch it, how much you want 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.560 to watch it. The NBA has had a storyline, a 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.439 couple of different storylines, but the you know, the overwriting 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.600 storyline was the bubble and could they make it happen. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.920 And it almost felt like after that that if it's 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.000 going to happen, anything else is going to pale in comparison. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.000 This is just going to be known as the bubble. 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.800 You know, Major League Baseball, same thing. You know, they 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.520 struggled to get to the finish line regular season NHL. 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:48.160 You guys know who won the Stanley Cup yep, Tampa 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.280 Tampa Bay Lightning. Okay, I just want to remind you 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.360 because that might get lost in a couple of years 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.600 from now or a year from now. So I can't 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.800 tell you who won the Baseball World Series last year, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:02.360 though I know beat Geberleague Baseball always gets lost in 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.440 the last five years. I know the Nats one. But 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.880 considering the strangeness of twenty twenty, you wouldn't think that 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:11.120 this was do or die for any Major League Baseball team. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.800 But as the division Series get going, there seems to 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.720 be a whole lot of pressure on one particular team, 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.719 and that's the Dodgers. Dodgers beating the Padres last night. 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.360 They took a take a two oh series lead, and 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.480 Cody Bellinger stole a home run from Fernando Tatis the 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.520 play of the game and you know, it almost feels 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.760 like relief for Dodger fans, like you want to win, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.959 you want to celebrate. It just feels like and Clayton 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.319 Kershaw gave up back to back home runs and you 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.000 just go, oh no, and then they win. They dominated 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.360 all season long, and most of the teams in this 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.040 year's playoffs don't have as much to lose. It feels like, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.920 you know, the Rays and the Braves and the A's, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.320 you know, they're all up and coming. The Yankees had 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:59.360 that huge payroll, but their fans realize they have serious flaws. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.559 I mean, that's a off ball team. They don't have 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.199 a great rotation, they don't have great middle relief, and 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.960 they lost to the Rays. The Dodgers can't afford a 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.720 trip up here. And it feels like every move that 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.960 Dave Roberts makes is magnified and you got some big 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.959 decisions here, and when Kenley Jansen comes in, you hold 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.840 your breath and you're relieved when he saves a game. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.760 But the Dodgers are winning, but until they capture another 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.880 World Series, I don't think anybody is going to be satisfied. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.920 And then on top of that, if the Lakers win 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.720 now all of a sudden, it's like, Okay, Dodgers, it's 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.840 your turn. Not that that's fair, but that's the landscape 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.720 right now. We'll check in with John Smoltz. He was 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.880 on the call last night on Fox Sports and Troy 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.440 Aikman calls out the Cowboys defense. I think that the 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.880 Washington football team made a mistake. I think they made 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.440 a mistake with their choice at quarterback. I'll have that 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.360 for you as well. And also a preposterous quote from 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.880 a member of the Dallas Cowboys defense. I am a 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.160 tease machine, Easy Greenberg teas machine. Mike Greenberg just said, 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.560 whoa slow down there? Get up? That's what I like 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.440 to say. All right, let me take a break here. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.440 We'll check him Smoltzy.

We'll talk 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.160 to the Hall of Famer John Smolts in a moment 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.920 he was on the call last night Dodgers Podre. Well, 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.280 there was an interesting moment there where the Dodgers responding 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.359 to the Padres. Manny Machado's out there yelling that the Dodgers. 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.439 In fact, here's Mookie Bats talking about that exchange. That 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:16.199 Machado was getting upset that the Dodgers had the audacity 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.800 to celebrate after Cody Bellinger's great catch. Now, I just 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.160 feel like, you know, when he hit his home run, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:23.760 you know, he threw the bat and this that any 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:25.239 other and then we take them on away. We can 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.399 celebrate too, So it's got to be two sides to it. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.400 That was just what I was saying. Yeah, I loved it. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.879 It was great back and forth there Padres trying to 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.960 hold on here and they're down O two. John Smoltz 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.560 was on the call last night courtesy of Funk Sports, 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.840 and he joins us, Now, some festivities there, a little 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.720 fireworks there, some bad blood there as well. What did 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.240 you take away from this game last night? Yeah, definitely, 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.480 I think without the fans, right, you got to generate 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.040 your own intensity and you're then and I've seen that 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.080 the teams that had the most excitement in there, and 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.280 there dugouts it may not always be received well because 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.960 we don't typically get to hear the bantering going back 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.560 and forth. Well, guess what, you can hear just about everything. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.159 And as a broadcaster, you know, all I could have 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.240 done and said, look here, I'm throwing my mask yet. 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.840 I mean, that's all I could have done. But I 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.280 could check a couple of things off of my list 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.280 of things I've never seen. I've never seen a glove 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.680 throw that that long, other than Jesse Roscoe maybe when 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.000 he threw his up to the sky and they won 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.200 the whole thing that they're serious. So yeah, I kind 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.479 of agreed. I echoed the same sentiments of what Mookie 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.760 Betts said. You know, the only thing you just can't 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.679 have in this game, you can't have it both ways. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.440 You got to be able to take what comes back 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.199 at you when you show that kind of emotion. And 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.680 I'm fine with the emotion, it's just the emotion sometimes 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.600 is trying to create something for your team because you're behind, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.400 and you hope it had carryover effect, and it looked 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.240 like it did because they went back back to back 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.879 on Homer's Okay, but the Dodger pitcher who's celebrating, Yeah, 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.400 gave up a home run, like if Bellinger doesn't bring 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.840 it back, like he can't celebrate. He didn't strike out 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.359 the side. No, No, he was. He was a bomb John. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:13.800 He did, he did. He gave up all was turned 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:15.360 into one of the best catcher you're going to see 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.120 in a while. And I think he was so excited 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.760 that his teammate caught it, caught it that. Yeah, but 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.239 he's blowing kisses to the padres dug out there. I 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.920 get it. I mean, I guess here's the thing that 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.200 I've always said. You know, when you when you watch 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:35.920 baseball and you see the exuberant celebrations on home runs, 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:40.639 the unbelievable bat flips. Why I ask you this question, 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.960 why does the hitters only get to do it? You 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.600 never see We look at Trevor Bauer and he's the 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.680 outlier when he walks off the mound the way he does. 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.200 I think as pictures, as a group of pictures, it's 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.840 time that they start showing some excitement. I did the 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.320 Pascal Perez thing, you know, back in the day, a 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.639 little jimmy when I got a chance to strike them out. No, 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.240 it's all it's all good. I can I'm I'm okay 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.800 with pitchers. Dennis Eckersley used to you know, shoot you 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.439 down your next yet out. Yeah, we need more of that. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.400 I guess I love it. I'm I'm fine with all 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:23.359 of that. I want baseball to be a celebration. I know, John, 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.800 you gotta get kids watching. And I'm not saying be gimmicky, 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.720 but if I'm a kid and I'm watching, it doesn't 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:35.359 move people throw really hard and swing really hard. Other 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.439 than that, there's no joy in Mudville. And that's my 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:43.040 biggest concern with baseball is how do you create an 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.800 atmosphere if I'm a ten year old, a twelve year 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.560 old because you're you know, your demo is in the fifties, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:52.160 probably mid fifties. You got to create something that if 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.080 I'm a sports fan, why am I watching this? Well, 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.399 you're watching it because these guys have fun tattoos. Love it. 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:00.639 I love it. You know you want to do that 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.240 bat flip. If you got a guy on the mound 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.800 who's striking people out, punching you out, I'm good with 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.720 that as well. Have fun. Every other sport does. Yeah, 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.440 and that's my only point. It's like, it's it's only 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.560 kind of the hitters. They get to do it, and 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.800 and and look, if a pitcher started doing it, it 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:21.679 would be probably be a little bit more entertaining because 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.880
