18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: your way. But first I gotta say this. Yes, I

19
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: was one. I was nervous how I was gonna feel today? Right,

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: because the intensity and anxiety of the baseball playoffs that

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: I normally get the first week, and and once it starts,

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: it's just an uptick of It doesn't matter if your

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: team is in it or not. It's so intense. It's

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: such a great change. I was saying, Okay, do I

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: want a day off on Friday? Or am I gonna

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: miss having a game? And I was thinking, wow, am

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: I gonna feel? And I said, no, no, you know what,

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay with a day not having a game.

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fine. We got college football, right, w

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: NBA finals are going on, right, We're gonna be fine. No, no, no,

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: I wanted a game tonight. In fact, I wanted three

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: games tonight.

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: I want I did.

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I didn't want a day off at the end. I

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: wanted I wanted there to be another fun. I wanted

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: be there to be four games, even though the other

37
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: games were already decided, Like you know, give the Reds,

38
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: let let them have fun and throw out there. You

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: know they were eliminated. Like I wanted more games tonight.

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: It's just that this week, the first week just takes

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: over and it's I don't know, like the change in

42
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: the calendar is so different than any other sport, right,

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Like you see the intensity, like the intensity of the NFL. Yes,

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, it's intense, but you know what,

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: the first seventeen weeks are pretty bleeping intense, right. The

46
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs that's a bit of a change too. But

47
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we get into the playoffs and it's

48
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: rare to see those big one eight upsets. We get

49
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: in with the with the play in rounds where we

50
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: play attention to the teams are only going to be

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: around for a couple of games and they're going to

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: get eliminated. But the Baseball playoffs it comes in and

53
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: it's I have no time. I am I completely locked in.

54
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I have no time for anything else.

55
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

56
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: I've been going here in LA to Dodger playoff games

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: since the mid nineties. It is, and I mean since then,

58
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: a noticeable difference in how intense it is in the

59
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: park at these games. And I was there at the

60
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: last game and the same thing. It was just a

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: superb atmosphere from start to finish. And I know Major

62
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: League Baseball is probably tapping itself on the back, say hey,

63
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: we did a good job with all these day off.

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 3: Before you know, the next round, the best of five

65
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: doesn't start till Saturday. Everybody's gonna start on Saturday. Why

66
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: can't you have two games tonight and then a couple

67
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: others on the crowded Saturday sports schedule. They're probably saying, no, no,

68
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 3: we did a good thing because for the first time

69
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: in the young life of these best of three Wildcards series,

70
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 3: we had three of the four actually needed a game

71
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: three this week. Extra time off the guys. Okay, as

72
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: far as the sports schedule goes, they could have used

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: a couple of games today.

74
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm I'm one of the things. Baseball should

76
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: play in the playoffs only on these days. They should

77
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: play Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, right, take those big days off,

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, because look, honestly, I don't mind taking days

79
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: off in between games if it's resetting you and letting

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: you put out your best pitcher. I'd like to see

81
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Tarik's school will pitch three times in a series or

82
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: twice if I find need to. And plus you have

83
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: the NFL on the calendar the rest of the days. Okay,

84
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: they got Sunday, they got Monday, they got Thursday. Saturday

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: is college football. You can play baseball at the end

86
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: of the day Saturday into Saturday night. That's absolutely fine,

87
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Like those are the days they should play, right, don't

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: compete with the NFL the other days, but play those

89
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: days every Tuesday, Wednesday, and then Friday Saturday. Take two

90
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: days and you start again, and you still finish the

91
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: series in about the same amount of time. I don't

92
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: mind the length of the baseball playoffs because it's awesome.

93
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: It's just like a thrill ride for an entire month.

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: But like that, that would be the perfect schedule for

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: me baseball wise, to say, okay, because then every single

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: night of the sports calendar in October is insane, because then, okay,

97
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: let's throw win the beginning of the NHL season coming

98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: up in a few days. No, by the way, let's

99
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: throw in the beginning of the basketball season coming up

100
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, like I needed that NXT

101
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: game yesterday and Abu Dhabi, like I needed that preseason

102
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: next game to get me away from the Mets and

103
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: everything I needed that I need. But October this time

104
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: is such a great moment, Like don't don't miss a

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: chance and try to get out there every time you can,

106
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: because boy, I'd love for there to be two or

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: three games to night here in baseball.

108
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: And as your reference, the NBA preseason did start with

109
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: the Yabu Dhabi game Thursday, those two Nicks had beaten Philadelphia.

110
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: Those two will play again on Saturday. But I will say,

111
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: as far as it's the Saturday college football schedule tomorrow,

112
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: they didn't give us a whole lot of boy I

113
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: got to see this one type of matchups at least

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: daytime Saturday. And so yeah, again, baseball lucks out because

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: the Cubs open are at Milwaukee. And for those who

116
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: are unaware, yes they're in separate state. But the Cubs

117
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee ballparks are closer than San Diego in LA.

118
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: It's less than one hundred miles. This is going to

119
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: be a great best of five rivalry and the Brewers

120
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: are the top overall seed this postseason. That's two pm

121
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: Eastern time for Game one on Saturday in Milwaukee, and

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: it's a day game for Yankees at Toronto on Fox TV.

123
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: That's four pm Eastern time. What are you going to

124
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: be watching at four pm Eastern Yankees at Toronto or

125
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: Penn State at UCLA College football? Because those are your

126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: national TV options?

127
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: Steve, Yeah, s Vanderbuilt.

128
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to slight Vanderbilt.

129
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean, are you sure UCLA is still going to

130
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: be on television. Are you sure that's still time?

131
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: That's amazing at the scroll that it's only a twenty

132
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: four point favorite from Ben.

133
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: Have you seen Ucla?

134
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe they still have a football program, Like

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I thought they would have gotten rid of it after

136
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's just football is just not working here anymore.

137
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: It hasn't worked since cade mcdown. We're gonna we're going

138
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: to back away from it. We don't need football. We're

139
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: a basketball I.

140
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: Can remember just a few short years after cade mcdown

141
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: when UCLA football beat Alabama and Michigan in the same month.

142
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: I can remember seeing multiple times Ucla beating Texas. Those

143
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: years seem like so far ago compared to I mean,

144
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: college football has passed Ucla by I mean as a

145
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: as a campus, as an athletic department.

146
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Now, I do want to say this before I get

147
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: into the big basketball hot take, speaking of the baseball playoffs,

148
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: right like, okay, I'm yeah, look, I'm past the Mets

149
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: getting knocked out like they fired all their coaches today.

150
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Oh great, Now we're gonna win one hundred almost literally

151
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: all of them.

152
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

153
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: The only one, Carlos Mendoza, the only one left. He's

154
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: like the.

155
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: Final space coach might be still, He's.

156
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Like the final girl at the end of a horror movie.

157
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm the only one left. I was here with everybody.

158
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm the only one left now. But my wife and

159
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: I are having lunch today and sitting next to us,

160
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: is you know, because every third person in LA is

161
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: wearing Dodger gear. Right, That's how it is all year round. Right,

162
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: you do this, you think, oh, who's the big team

163
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: in LA? You know with the Lakers. No, La is

164
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: a Dodger town. It is a baseball town. Guy next

00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: to me and the Dodger hat and he's and he's

166
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: having lunch with one of his friends and they're just

167
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: talking about the game and my wife and I'm just sitting

168
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: there having lunch. On I say anything, and one guy says, yeah, no,

169
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: I got tickets for uh I got tickets for game two.

170
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, oh really, he goes, I got

171
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: tickets for the second game in LA. And they're like,

172
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: oh really, go yeah, it goes yeah.

173
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Well that was the best part, is it?

174
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: Like all these Mets fans had tickets and and like

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: they were all coming and then they just dumped them. Right,

176
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: because you know they didn't make the playoffs. So I

177
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: got my tickets for like face value from this Mets fan.

178
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I'm going I want to leave right now.

179
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Check check? Can I leave?

180
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: I just say I looked up these things for the

181
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: Dodgers Red Series this past week. Face value in the

182
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: top row at the top deck was about ninety dollars,

183
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: but after the Dodgers scored I think it was ten

184
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: in the first game, it came below face value. For

185
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: game number two, the clincher of the best of three,

186
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: it's about one hundred and thirty one hundred four, one

187
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: hundred and forty dollars for the similar seats for when

188
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: the Phillies are going to be in LA on Wednesday,

189
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: and by the way, that's another six pm Pacific, nine

190
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 3: Eastern start. The thing is, if there's still a game

191
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: four needed in this best of five Phillies at Dodgers

192
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: coming up, they could be moving it to three in

193
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: the afternoon in LA on Thursday, and then fans, you

194
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: might get some deals on ticket.

195
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I definitely noticed last year during

196
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: the NLCS when they played Game one was a Monday

197
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: at one o'clock and then Game six, the two guy,

198
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I went to Game one. In game six, I got

199
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: to the Mets losing the Dodgers celebrate Game one. Tons

200
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: of Mets fans right during the day one o'clock is

201
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: apparently Mets fans. None of us work, So tons of

202
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: Mets fans a game one. Game six not even close

203
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: to as many Mets fans, not even close. I was like, oh, okay,

204
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: game six at night on the weekend. Okay, yeah that

205
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: was that was That was much better attended.

206
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: But in Major League Baseball, Jason has already announced today

207
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: that once we get to Game four of Phillies at Dodgers,

208
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: the latest it will start in LA is seven eastern

209
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: four o'clock in Los Angeles. It's either at three or four.

210
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: This is assuming the Phillies don't sweep the thing. You know,

211
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: there's not a game on Thursday.

212
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: Wow, you, I can't believe you. Frostburger is going to

213
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 1: key your car for saying the Phillies are going to

214
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: sweep the Dodgers.

215
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 4: I can't believe I believe the word if was it?

216
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: You're not even supposed to say. If I do believe you.

217
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: Said, I'm at a news desk. If this series is

218
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: still going. The latest start is at three or four.

219
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: Can I just mention that when the Dodgers were in

220
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 3: the last decade, had a for a I think it

221
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: was divisional round, best of five also against the Washington Nationals.

222
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: And they found out literally the night.

223
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: Before four that it was going to be a noon

224
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: start because of television, and then the market was flooded

225
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: with people selling off tickets. I got in to see

226
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: Kershaw pitch and pitch well in a day game against

227
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: Washington for twenty five bucks. Wow series because people were

228
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: dumping them less and right. Because literally it was less

229
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: than twenty four hours. Major League Baseball said, hey, you

230
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: know that game that people thought.

231
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: Was going to be Yeah, no, it's it's noon. Sorry.

232
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 4: They haven't done that since.

233
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: By the way, Jason Smith, Steve Desay, you're here on

234
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio now the big game of the night

235
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: coming down to it right now, Game one of the

236
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: WNBA Finals. Las Vegas leads Phoenix eighty seven eighty six.

237
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Alyssa Thomas has just missed two free throws that would

238
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: have given them the lead with twenty seconds left to go.

239
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: So now Las Vegas has the ball and the lead

240
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: with about seventeen seconds left. Now will continue to give

241
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: you updated on this game. But the big story before

242
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: this game cat Yngelbert, the much maligned w NBA commissioner.

243
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: Oh did she speak really?

244
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, she spoke and said she has to do better. Right,

245
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: All this week you saw the FISA Colliers remarks, a

246
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: four minute speech that changed, Yeah, that changed the course

247
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: of the league, saying how bad their leadership is, how

248
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: bad Kathy Engelbert is, how she basically told Caitlin Clark

249
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: she's lucky to be in the league. How the rest

250
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: of the players should be thanking her, thanking Kathy Engelbert

251
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: for the media rights deal they got. And so many

252
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: players came out in support of the FISA Collier. They

253
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: want Engelbert out, and eventually it's gonna have to come

254
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: to the NBA saying, Okay, Kathy Engelbert is out because

255
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: the NBA owning a part like that's how it's going

256
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: to go. So she speaks today and says I have

257
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: to do better, but denied the Caitlin Clark remarked that hey,

258
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Caitlyn should be lucky that she's in the league, and

259
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: all the jiff yes, because the players are upset about

260
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: about the the CBA coming up. They want a bigger

261
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,359
Speaker 1: pie out, they want better official.

262
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: There's no guarantee, there's WNBA opening night next summer.

263
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: No, they want all of these things. They don't trust

264
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: Kathy Engelbert. They don't they don't love, they don't like

265
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: the officiating. That's number one. That needs to be something else.

266
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: And at least Kathy Engelbert said, hey, we need We're

267
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna do better with the officiating. But it's clear that

268
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: she is circling the drain and the players who have

269
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: a lot of power are completely unhappy and they want

270
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: her out. And you need someone to come in that's

271
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: going to be able to wear so many hats, right,

272
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: because here's the players. Kathy Engelbert's you know, when you

273
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: come from a CEO background, you come in the players

274
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: there's no belief in her. She's not because you didn't

275
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: come up through the league. She didn't play. But the

276
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: owners like her because okay, she's she's a CEO, she

277
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: knows business. But this is a really big time in

278
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: the league for having the right leadership to get you

279
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: from where the league was to where the league is now,

280
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: which is a big piece of the pie. It's a

281
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: big that's part of the national conversation every single day.

282
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you this. You know who the

283
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: WNBA needs to be their commissioner because he can he

284
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: can service every single need that the that the WNBA needs,

285
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: that the NBA needs, and owning the league and the

286
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: players and the owners. Magic Johnson, Magic, who has been

287
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: a WNBA supporter and owner for a long time. Now.

288
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: He's someone that comes in with the cachet of being

289
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: a star player that the players believe in. He will

290
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: have great relationships with the players. Being an owner, now,

291
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: he'd have to give up his ownership of this butt.

292
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, Magic, I think Magic will do Okay,

293
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I think Magic money wise, Magic I think will be

294
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: all right in the deal.

295
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: Right, okay, thank you.

296
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: But but the w needs him. He would come in.

297
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: He would have a great relationship with the owners because

298
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: he already knows them. He'd be able to push the

299
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: business because you see how many bats he wears in

300
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: business all across the last twenty five thirty years of

301
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: his life. Magic Johnson's the guy that can wear all

302
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: the hats and he can get the WNBA to that level.

303
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: He would have the trust of everybody involved, and I

304
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: think that's a home run higher And I think if

305
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: they came to one asked them, Magic would say, you

306
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: need me, I could do it right. He would still

307
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: have time to go on his yacht and go away

308
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: and do all the Magic Johnson things right.

309
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: But this is what it is now.

310
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: You know what a big star like Magic, but the

311
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: WNBA Magic Johnson for commissioner. I'd sign up for that

312
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, and.

313
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 3: I'm sure the players would because it's the former player.

314
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: As you were talking about one thing, as you mentioned

315
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: the CEO background, and we can update the last shot missed.

316

Speaker 4: Six Final Game Exhibition.

318
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: Is Angelberg came off sounding like a CEO because let's

319
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: speak generally and truthfully about too many ceo and too

320
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: many businesses in this country. Is they treat the employees

321
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: like they're unbelievably replaceable.

322
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson WNBA commissioner. I'm putting it out there, I'm

323
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: making it happen.

324
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 4: Just imagine the tweets.

325
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh my god, the tweets would be epic.

326
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600

360
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: we get to coming up in a second. But Steve,

361
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: I know, as you mentioned before, doing the news desk

362
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: the same time as coach of the show, so you

363
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: can say things like if the Dodgers get swept and

364
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: Justin Frostburg's not gonna fight you.

365
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: If you were a Phillies fan and you saw the

366
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 3: Dodger bullpen for the last month, would you have a

367
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 3: little confidence about the next year.

368
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: Week you are foaming at the mouth to take on

369
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: this Dodger. You are just telling you are just telling

370
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: everybody as many pitches as you can make, O Taani

371
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: and Snell throw, let's get five, like they keep saying

372
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: five should be the mad that she's h five five

373
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: five the fifth inning. We want to be into the

374
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen. Led that bullpen by the fifth inning, and

375
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: we are we are loaded, We are loaded. Now I

376
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: do have something, Hey, Okay, the Dodger bullpen is clearly

377
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: the X factor of this playoff. Coming up in about

378
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: a half hour, we're gonna get deeper into the Baseball

379
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: playoffs and the big, the big controversy with the Yankees

380
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: and the Blue Jays going on today. I do have

381
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: something I tell you about the Dodgers that every team

382
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, we don't have that win the World Series.

383
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: But clear well, the bullpen man, they'll telling you Frostburg,

384
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the bullpen is gonna have a thing. There has something

385
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: to say about it. Will they're not. Don't think they're not.

386
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, you will, you will count us, you will

387
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: listen to us.

388
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 4: But they did find a closer the last game.

389
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: They did. Oh and think about the desperation just for

390
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: a second. That rookie Sasaki has pitched a grand total

391
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: of three innings since coming off the injured list, right

392
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: two games at the end of the regular season where

393
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: he had holds and he looked great. Rokie Soasaki, it's

394
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: it easyess, I'd make that decision if I was Dave Roberts.

395
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: And he's throwing great, his stuff is moving, he's throw

396
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. He comes in in the

397
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: ninth inning, and now it's a four run lead. You're

398
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: supposed to close out four run leads, even if you're

399
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: the worst pitcher on the staff. But just the electricity

400
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: he brought to the team and brings to the ninth inning,

401
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 1: they have absolutely found their closer. And just think about that.

402
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: The guy has pitched three innings since coming back from

403
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: injury four months ago, and he's a starting pitcher, and

404
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: it's so bad that all of a sudden, guess what,

405
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: you're the closer. Congratulated, you're the closer, Rookie good, look,

406
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: go get him.

407
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: Do you remember the World Series in twenty twenty where

408
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: Ken Lee Janssen blew a thriller of a game against

409
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay and who wound up getting the final out

410
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: of the World Series. The closer was Julio Arius. They

411
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: just go to whoever getting out last year was Walker Buehler.

412
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arius was the guy all the way through the play.

413
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to say he closed out the NLCS too,

414
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, this is the guy on

415
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: the mound and he's closing things out for the Dodgers.

416
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: But I mean it's it's like you tak you know,

417
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: I always go back to, uh, Starship Troopers, that nineties

418
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: movie Casper Van Deen was it. You always go back

419
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: to that. Well, I go back to when I think

420
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: about this, when I think of people getting a gig

421
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: that like wow, like do they really deserve it? Like

422
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: Casper van Dien starts in that like it's a starship

423
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: TREWI this is a great movie. It's this it's this

424
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: huge science fiction move where all these aliens have invaded

425
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: the Earth and the Earth we're losing and we try

426
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: to find a way to beat them. And like he

427
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: starts off the movie as this lowly private like just

428
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: trying to get into the army, and an hour and

429
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: a half later he's like the General. So it's like wow,

430
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: man an hour and he went from I'm just getting

431
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: in the army now in the general, Like that's like

432
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki. Hey, I'm just coming off the injured list.

433
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: Who knows what I could do if I could give

434
00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: you an inning here?

435
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: That's all?

436
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh, well, now I'm the closer. Three innings later, Hey,

437
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm the I'm closing games for the Dogs.

438
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: You must have been great at Arizona in that practice.

439
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: Man, Hey, he's a simulated closer. Make him the real

440
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: closer now that he's back.

441
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, and I will say, Blake trin And had back

442
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: to back nights of getting outs and a little confidence

443
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: for all concerns. So that's two out of the How

444
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: many relievers do you get out? Fifty two for every

445
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 3: postseason roster, So that's two they can count on.

446
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: So now, now being at the news desk, Okay, I

447
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: want to ask you this. Now the Lakers preseason opener

448
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: is happening right now, DeAndre Ayton getting his first look

449
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: as a Laker, No Luca, no Lebron. Though they are

450
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: at the game, can you tell me what live streams

451
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Lebron James may or may not have done today, But

452
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: even Buddy's sitting out like what took his attention away

453
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: from being able to play in this game?

454
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: Let's see a child of now his attention is always

455
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 3: taken away, just feeling the blank.

456
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: Like I love how awkward this is already with Lebron

457
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: and the Lakers, Like, you know, hey, he's got a

458
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: glute problem. He's got to sit out the first game. No,

459
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing I'm dancing, I'm on a live stream, I'm

460
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: feeling good, I'm taking jumpers. Yeah no, but I need

461
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: to say I can't come to practice because I'm injured.

462
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Like it's already so awkward with him and the Lakers,

463
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: and it's just going to keep getting more and more

464
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: awkward as the season goes on, Like this is awesome,

465
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: Like I love the fact that here we are game

466
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: one of the preseason already. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, Lebron

467
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: and the Lakers. Yeah, this is going to be a

468
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: soap opera all the way through the year.

469
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: You failed to mention, no Marcus Smart, who of course

470
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 3: has had no soap opera moments and isn't zero fast

471
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 3: zero career.

472
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah zero zero, No, not at all. He's been well,

473
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart kind of looks like Tim Duncan compared to Lebron,

474
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: So I mean there is there.

475
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: Is that well, I mean, Lebron's had the spotlight since

476
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: he was sweat sixteen realistically, naturally I'm talking about so there,

477
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of a difference.

478
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: So again, Opening night Lakers preseason action taking on the

479
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: Suns right now.

480
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: Kaa at an arena and near Palm Springs. By the way,

481
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: do you recall when the Lakers played against Steve Nash

482
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: and the Suns years ago in an exhibition in Palm

483
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: Springs at the Tennis Stadium where the annual Big Spring

484
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: Tennis tournament is held there. They had an outdoor basketball

485
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: game in Palm Springs.

486
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, it was an Indian wells, right, yeah, yeah.

487
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 3: Then they realized at some point in the game, you know,

488
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: we're in the desert.

489
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: It gets windy here, Steve Nash can't make a spree

490
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 4: pointer because it keeps blowing wide left, like like a

491
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 4: field goal attempt. Now they're outdoors today.

492
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Outdoor anything at Palm Springs is not a good idea.

493
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: There's there's no outdo Like if they could put Palm

494
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: Springs in a dome, it would be awesome, it would

495
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: be fed. But like anything you walk outside, oh my god,

496
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and seven degrees. I really I can't

497
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: even walk to the to the corner. I can't I

498
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: can't even get out to God, no, you don't get

499
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: the newspaper anymore. I can't even go out to Uh

500
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: uh take my dog for a walk. It's so hot.

501
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: Oh now it gets windy.

502
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: It's it's like Arizona exactly.

503
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 3: Although have you been to the youth baseball fields that

504
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: are literally one is just like in design Wrigley Fields,

505
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: another just like Fenway, and another just like Yankee Stadium.

506
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: Not only have I been there, I've played games there

507
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: and tournaments there. Yes, I played tournaments there. Uh they're

508
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: called Field of Dreams. Yeah, it's all these softball fields

509
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: that are made there. There's Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, and Fenway.

510
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: We didn't play at Wriggly We played at Yankee Stadium,

511
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: and we played at Fenway. And uh, here's about the weather.

512
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: Here's it is. So we played and it was it

513
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: was Oh boy, it was all the best teams in

514
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: the cut. Like we joined, like we we joined to

515
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: go in like we played nover thirty tournament, so because

516
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: everybody was over thirty, but like we were there watching

517
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: some of the games of like this was like the

518
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: best teams in the country would show up and play,

519
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: and just watching them play, it's like, oh my goodness,

520
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: like every single ball is just absolutely.

521
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 4: Cracked a bunch of ringers.

522
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh, here's the thing. The games all started

523
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock at night because it was so hot

524
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't safe to play. So we played two games

525
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: with a first night, we played our first game at

526
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: two am, and then the second night we played our

527
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: first game at one thirty, and then we had to

528
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: play another game because we won at three thirty. Wow,

529
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: we played at one third more. And the thing is,

530
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: I didn't feel tired.

531
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: It was great.

532
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, this is awesome. But I'm like,

533
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: we couldn't play until one thirty in the morning because

534
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: because it's so odd, it's so unsafe to play.

535
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: This is a little like the discussion to do people

536
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: even remember when the Cardinals NFL team first moved to Arizona,

537
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: the stadium there currently and had not been built yet.

538
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: You know, the Fiesta Bowl was still outside. The Cardinals

539
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 3: had to start outside at the Arizona State Stadium at

540
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: the Tenpee campus and they were playing and they were

541
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: in the division with the Cowboys, so you would have

542
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: Emmett Smith and Dallas playing at Arizona in September at

543
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 3: one in the afternoon and it was one hundred and

544
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: seven degrees and there's no shade at that stadium. It

545
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: was astounding that they stole that way. Exactly what you're

546
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: talking about. If even youth softball or over thirty games

547
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: can say, you know what, it's better to play at

548
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: midnight than at one in the afternoon, I can't imagine

549
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: that the NFL tied to TV as it is.

550
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: It took them a long time to move off that.

551
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: Hey, those guys are over thirty. They could die if

552
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: they play too much in the hot. Whether put that,

553
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: put their games later, make sure they play as late as.

554
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 4: Guys ever been on the field at one o'clock kickoff

555
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 4: in Miami?

556
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: Who oh you've been you've been there?

557
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you think what one o seven's hot? This is

558
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 6: what makes that Dolphins long mody. This makes that Dolphins

559
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 6: lots of the Patriots just ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago, right,

560
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 6: what do they want like eighty percent of their games

561
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 6: at one o'clock in September?

562
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 4: I know that Dolphin the games when they play the Jets.

563
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's any time.

564
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay was ninety degrees last weekend for the Bucks.

565
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's any time of the year, that's any tide

566
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: the Jets list by, while.

567
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be about eighty degrees for the Jets

568
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: shockingly this weekend.

569
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's yeah. I'm look. Yeah, well, I'll tell

570
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: you this, right, I'll tell you Jets Jets Dallas right,

571
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: part of the Football Friday preview. I love the over

572
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: in this game, and I love Dallas. The Jets are

573
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: undisciplined on defense, and they're unprepared for games, which I

574
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: forget I love well, of course, everybody knows they're winless team.

575
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to go every box score here. Uh, they're

576
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: undisciplined and they're unprepared. I want to love Aaron Glenn,

577
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: and I really do. I want to love Aaron Glenn.

578
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: And it's weird that a you know, a one to

579
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: two in one team facing an zero to four team

580
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: is one of the big marquee games of the week.

581
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: But when you get Cowboys Jets, it's a thing. I

582
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: want to love Aaron Glenn, right, I want to love them,

583
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: but clearly this should be the honeymoon period. And and

584
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: he's trying to clean up stuff and clean up bad penalties,

585
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: and the Jets are giving games away, like this is

586
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: stuff that happens at the end when players have tuned

587
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: out a coach and they're ready to move on. And

588
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: this is what the Jets are trying to do here.

589
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: They're not going to clean it up this week. It's

590
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: not going to happen. There'll be a lot of playing.

591
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: I said, I love the over, I love justin field

592
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: this week. I love the Jets being able to move

593
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: the football. But it doesn't matter ceedee lamb, no CD lamb.

594
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna play pitch and catch on Sunday, and

595
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: it's going to get worse for the Jets against what

596
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: is the easiest schedule in the NFL, which tells you

597
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: how bad they are way before it gets better. But

598
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: the biggest thing about Dallas that I don't think people

599
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: are taking enough attention to right. The Cowboys won two

600
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: and one. Yes, the Cowboys in their situation, and Jerry

601
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Jones with a roster it's been abysmal. He's running abysmally

602
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: for a long time. It's a top heavy team that

603
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: never is deep enough to win. The only time was

604
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: deep enough to win was when he had Dak and

605
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott on their rookie deals and they could put

606
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: players around them and they played pretty well. But since then,

607
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones loves giving bad money to the wrong players.

608
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you this, four weeks into this season,

609
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: and I have seen stuff from Dak Prescott that I

610
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen over the course of his career. In a

611
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: situation in which his team trades away their best defensive player,

612
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: basically punts off the season. How do you feel about that?

613
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: If you're Dak, you know, the longest tenured leader of

614
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: the team, quarterback, big money, and all he has done

615
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: is come out and play extremely well. He is still dynamic,

616
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: he is smart, he is poised, and he is mature.

617
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: He's someone that can take care of business. And and

618
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, at you're thirty two in the league, Now

619
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Dak's been in the league. If here is you want

620
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: to think that's there but the Cowboys, it's a really

621
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: difficult thing. But I have just seen an overall difference

622
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: in the way he carries himself on the field. Hey,

623
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys are down, we're gonna get the score.

624
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: We need we're gonna get we We're gonna do what

625
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: we need to on offense to win this game.

626
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: Ty this game. Now.

627
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: Defensively, they're absolutely awful, right and there's nothing to do

628
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: about that. But Dak Prescott has really shown that, Hey,

629
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: he is a winning quarterback. And it's weird that he's

630
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: doing in a season where the Cowboys are bad and

631
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna get any better. But like, if

632
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: they ever figure it out, no doubt Dak can win

633
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. There's no doubt like this, Dak Prescott

634
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: can win the Super Bowl with weapons, without weapons, with

635
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: a running game, without a running game, He's still makes

636
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: enough plays, he is still dynamic, and he has hit

637
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: that next level in leadership and development. Like I am

638
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: all in on Dak being the guy the Cowboys need

639
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: him and have needed him to be, and I've seen

640
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: so much over the course of the first four weeks, like, yeah,

641
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: if you can ever figure out the rest of it,

642
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: man boy, it's gonna be something.

643
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: And it's not just the Jets winless. The Cowboys, let's

644
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: be honest, should be winless. They needed all forty points

645
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: from Dak in that overtime game a few weeks ago

646
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: against the Giants. They were allowing big points to the

647
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: Giants and the Packers got forty against Dallas and Ceedee

648
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: Lamb still out this weekend, and Dallas is going to

649
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: be missing at least three offensive line and.

650
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 4: They'll still crush the Jets.

651
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: And that doesn't matter. They're still gonna put points up.

652
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: They'll still score forty on the Jets. You will crush

653
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: the Jet they will still well. Dak will be I'll

654
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: tell you that Dak will be the number one Fantasy

655
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: quarterback of the week. He'll be the absolute number one

656
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback of the week. That's how big a week.

657
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Justin fields have a big week too, Like it's gonna

658
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: be a lot of offense here. The Jets good will do

659
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: what they want to offensively, but Dak's gonna make enough plays.

660
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna win this game and he's gonna be

661
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: absolutely lights out. That's Dak Prescott.

662
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: And I will add that it's not just about eighty

663
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,040

774
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: that call, like it could be it's preseason Game one,

775
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: opening night, Game thirty seven, Game eighty one, and Billy

776
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: Mack is just a he's.

777
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: Got he's the same level.

778
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't it doesn't matter, like every game is the

779
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: NBA Finals with Bill McDonald.

780
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: Bill McDonald, who has been in the LA area for

781
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: his entire life in southern California and became do you

782
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 3: remember when he filled in as Laker play by play

783
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 3: guy and it happened to be in the night of

784
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 3: Kobe's eighty one play game. Yeah, because Schoel Myers was

785
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 3: the Laker announcer back then but was doing football work also,

786
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 3: and this was a Sunday night game and he was away.

787
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: Bill McDonald steps in and does, of course a legendary

788
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 3: night in NBA history, forget Laker history, and of course

789
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: Joe Myers has been in New Orleans for years now,

790
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: let's leave it at that.

791
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, this this was it was the day of

792
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,160

Speaker 1: Toronto game was like, hey, it's late at night on

794
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: this it's the last event of the night on the Lakers.

795
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: Were down twenty or something like that, as I recall,

796
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 3: at one point in that game.

797
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sam Mitchell still was gonna single guard

798
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant.

799
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 2: Still gonna throw one guy.

800
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 4: Points doesn't matter one Laker. One Laker had eighty one

801
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 4: points in one game.

802
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm not sure these Lakers will get eighty one tonight

803
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: against No.

804
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: No, no, they're not.

805
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 4: They are in the second quarter already.

806
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have twenty two points. It really so

807
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: we brought you like one eleventh of all of their

808
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: points tonight so far. That's it with the play the

813
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: football and you know, lots of games going on tonight,

814
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, Friday Night has been a

815
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: big thing now BYU top twenty five team leads West

816
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: Virginia right now, early in the first quarter. This game

817
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: just starting, This game's gonna end it like two in

818
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: the morning, but the biggest game of the week. I

819
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: know we got Texas Florida, right, we got Miami Florida State. Yeah,

820
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: I reckay Clemson and North Carolina. There's a reason why

821
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: this is on national TV tomorrow. Think about what is

822
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: at stake right now for both of these head coaches.

823
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: The college football season so far has been about two

824
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: head coaches, right, not player wise, but head coaching wise

825
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: has been about two people. Dabo Sweeney and what could

826
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: be the end of an era in Clemson and how

827
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: upset he is I'm tired of winning or I'm just

828
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: putting that, you know, he's all the things. An era

829
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: over right, is a Clemson era over and Bill Belichick

830
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: at two and two now maybe in a one and

831
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: done type season at North Carolina. North Carolina didn't go

832
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: through all of this crap that they did over the

833
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: past few months with Jordan Hudson and in the football

834
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: program to be like this, to knock teams away from

835
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 1: being able to see teams to see North Carolina play

836
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: New England can't get to see the team play. They

837
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: did not sign up for this and a five hundred.

838
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: If not under five hundred, well.

839
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: Well they've only played two real teams and they got

840
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 3: blown out by each of them, so we can call

841
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: them two and two, and I guess statistically that's correct.

842
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 4: But let's be honest.

843
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: They still got to play whatever's left at Syracuse at

844
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 3: the end of this month, So don't be looking ahead,

845
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: Tar Heels.

846
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: But one of these teams, either Clemson's gonna fall to

847
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: one and four or no, And it would be so

848
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: incredibly embarrassing for Dabbo to go to one and four

849
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: to lose to Belichick, or Belichick's gonna go to two

850
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: and three, And it's does this guy really know what

851
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: he's doing, right, Because if they get out of this

852
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: one year and it's bad, they're gonna say, Okay, this

853
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: didn't really work. The buyout is very low, right, It's

854
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: not like it's not like Lincoln Riley or or anybody

855
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: else not worried about even Dabo's buyout. What. No, No,

856
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: it's a very low buyout like this could be a

857
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean from the beginning, I thought this could be

858
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 1: a one and done thing from Belichick if he can't

859
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: come in and reinvent college football which they thought they

860
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: were gonna do. This game is going to go a

861
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: long long way for one of these coaches, because look,

862
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: Dabo's buyout is big. They got money at Clemson and

863
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Dabbo's one of those guys. Yeahm making all

864
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: this money, but I'm not happy. You can see it

865
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: starting to get combative at Clemson, like one of these

866
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: guys is going to be well on the road to

867
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: and more so Belichick, like this being their last year there,

868
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: Belichick more than Dabo. But boy, I don't know, man,

869
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: Dabbo goes like like four and seven or four and eight.

870
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: Look out, I think they might be able to rub

871
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: a couple of nickels together for that buyout for Dabo.

872
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: But you're right about the attention that this game. You know,

873
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my eyeballs on this game. It's a

874
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: morning game West Coast time, and there are two other

875
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: games in that time slot in the ACC. But if

876
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: you look at the list, you can get into Boston

877
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: College at pitt for under twenty bucks at ticket. You

878
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: can get into Wake Forest at Virginia Tech for twenty five.

879
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 3: The cheapest seats at North Carolina for this game are seventy.

880
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: North Carolina has to actually show that it belongs in

881
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: the conference at this point.

882
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is so interesting a game because of what

883
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: like this is a game for true college football fan

884
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: to say, whoa the Dabo stuff, the Belichick stuff. This

885
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: has been driving the bus for most of September into October.

886
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: How does this soap opera go? If I can only

887
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: watch one game tomorrow outside of Syracuse, this is the

888
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: game I'm watching Clemson North Carolina. Can't wait, can't wait?

889
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresco. Jason Smith Steve de Seger

890
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: in for Mike Harmon. Coming up next, we have controversy

891
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 1: on the eve of the next round of the Major

892
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: League Baseball Playoffs, and of course it involves the Yankees.

893
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: That's next.

894
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Fielt so many points, so many points. It's mean, you know, look,

895
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: that's the power of the league. And that's where hey,

896
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: a team that's one two and one of the team

897
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: that owned for Hey, we got to make sure we

898
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: keep an eye on out one.

899
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: That's that's the Cowboy and the Vikings have stayed in

900
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: Europe Dublin last week. They're playing in London this Sunday

901
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 3: morning against the Browns. We say maybe not the best.

902
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: By the way the Browns are playing overseas.

903
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: They may never be allowed to come back. I don't

904
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: know that they're like.

905
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 3: Maybe this is the excuse, just trick them, send them out,

906
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: and then they'll never get back.

907
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: And I'm also wondering if this game was in the

908
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: United States, would the Browns have gone to Dylan Gabriel, Like,

909
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: would they have gone to Gabriel? He you know, if

910
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: it was still in the United maybe.

911
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 4: Because it's a road game technically yeah.

912
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but there's a road game and then there's

913
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: a road.

914
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, this is like out of the game.

915
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I really wonder if that would have happened, Like, hey,

916
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: you know what, we're away, We're not gonna you know,

917
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Dylan's gonna be able to get in and focus as

918
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: much as he can on football because while yes, him

919
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: starting is a big deal, nobody knows who the hell

920
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: he is. Nobody knows about the draw, no one cares

921
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: about the not at the pro level Browns quarterback. No,

922
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: this is the week to get him going. Like I

923
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: wonder if Flacco would have had another week or so

924
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: if they were still playing in the United States. I

925
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: really wonder if they would, but.

926
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: This does give you options. You know, he can roll out,

927
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: he can run, He's much younger than Flacco, and the

928
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: offense has been scoring fourteen points a game in Cleveland.

929
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't score another fourteen this week. I mean,

930
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: you have great confidence, but that Deyla gab I think

931
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabris word. Not that I think the Vikings are

932
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: going to suddenly start lighting it up, but uh yeah,

933
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: I have more confidence that the Vikings and their playmakers

934
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: will have enough to get it done here.

935
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: And Vikings are going to be without two or three linemen.

936
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Dallas this weekend.

937
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I have I kind of have a sneaking suspicion.

938
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: I like the in Fantasy. I like playing the Vikings

939
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: defense overseas. I I I kind of like that. I

940
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: kind of like one. Yeah, I kind of like that.

941
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean they they might finish with the

942
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: most points of any of anybody in Fantasy this week.

943
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: The Viking defense stick they had forty last a couple

944
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. They might do it again. But again,

945
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at the two biggest games on

946
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: the NFL schedule coming up in about twenty minutes. But

947
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: we are less than twenty four hours away from the

948
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the Major League Baseball Playoffs. We'll get to

949
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: the big controversy involved in the Yankees in a second,

950
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: but I promise is that you know, the other night

951
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: we talked about the Dodgers knocking off the Reds. A

952
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: couple are really really big concerns. Right. Their bullpen is

953
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible, and their defense is not good, right.

954
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: The test special defense.

955
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not strong, and and you got by in

956
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: that round because it was the Reds and the Reds

957
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: are bad and you hit the baseball. But this is

958
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: not a team that is going to win games by

959
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: flash and leather. It's not. They are weak at a

960
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: lot of positions. And so yeah, as good as they are,

961
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: this is a team where I can say, hey, the

962
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: bullpen's going to have a lot to say. The defense

963
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: is not good, and you know, a bad play defensively

964
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: is what sends you home when you get to this

965
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: level the playoffs. But the flip side of it is this, right,

966
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: all of this all so, Jason, you're dooming gloom. The

967
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: Dodgers aren't gonna win. You think the Dodger. The one

968
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: thing I will say and this is this is the

969
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: great equalizer. Nobody hits the baseball like the Dodgers. And

970
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: you look at every other team that has played in

971
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, that played in the first round, they all

972
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: had trouble putting runs across the board. Everybody did. Some

973
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: had more than others. If a team scored four runs

974
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: in a game and they were lighting up the scoreboard, it's,

975
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's four runs. We're gonna win this game.

976
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's twelve nothing. The Dodgers come out in

977
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: two games and they very feeling, almost feeling like it

978
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: was like it was a regular season, end of the

979
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: year game, and they put up ten eight but without

980
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: even trying, like they just and they hit home runs,

981
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: and they hit off of good pitchers. Hunter Green shows

982
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: up and it's what happened. I was so good for

983
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: the entire season. I show up here and I'm out

984
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: of the game. My season's over in the second inning.

985
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: The Dodgers. Nobody hits the baseball like they do. Not

986
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: the Phillies, not the Yankees. You know, the teams that

987
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: we didn't play so far, We're gonna see them again.

988
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna see the marriage Toronto.

989
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: I would add that they were the only team batting

990
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 3: average over two sixties. So George Springer's been white hot,

991
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 3: and they have Guerrero Junior, so they have something in

992
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: the Toronto lineup. And certainly the Yankees have power.

993
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh oh the Yankees. Look, you're looking for home runs,

994
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: the Yankees can get them for you. The Blue Jays

995
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: have it to a level, but nobody hits the baseball

996
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: with the confidence level with the ability of the Dodgers.

997
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: And look, Will Smith could be on his way as well.

998
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 3: He's available to catch time. And he didn't play, not

999
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 3: just the past week, he hasn't played in four weeks.

1000
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this guy who was the best hitting

1001
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: catcher in baseball, you know, up until he got hurt,

1002
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: and he's been an All Star for the last few years.

1003
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 1: Like that. That's the one thing. If the Dodgers win

1004
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: the World Series this year. Last year it was they

1005
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: were the best all around team. They added Sho heeo Tani,

1006
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: their starting pitching was good enough, their bullpen was terrific,

1007
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: They hit the baseball, they they got stuff from unhralded

1008
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: players like Tommy Edmund. But this year, if they're gonna win,

1009
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: they are going to mash their way to the World Series.

1010
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: There's no way there. They're not gonna suddenly show up

1011
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: and wow, look at this. Look at this Dodger rotation

1012
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: keeping everybody off the scoreboard. Yeah, no, not happening. It's

1013
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna be games that the Phillies they're gonna have to

1014
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 1: win nine to eight and eleven nine and eight seven,

1015
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: Like this is how they're gonna win. They are gonna

1016
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: win mashing their way to the World Series because it's

1017
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: the only way they can. Because you're not fixing the bullpen.

1018
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: You figure out the ninth inning in theory with Roki Sasaki. Okay,

1019
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: that's great, but you are You are not getting there

1020
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: any other way than scoring a ton of runs every game.

1021
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: And the good news for them is they're hitting the

1022
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: baseball with no problem. That's the only team hitting the

1023
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: baseball with no problem so far.

1024
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 3: I wouldn't recommend a one run lead to the late

1025
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: innings for the Dodgers, you know, I.

1026
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: Mean, like they get up nine or nine to nothing

1027
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: or eleven nothing and hold on to win eleven nine

1028
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: yeah or nine eight yeah.

1029
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 3: Well, it was the Phillies that had that legendary comeback

1030
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 3: at Dodger stadium years ago, where what it was a

1031
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 3: twelve to one or something like that, that they get

1032
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: fifteen to two and they came back and wound up winning.

1033
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 3: There is on the mound the Slugger show, Hey O,

1034
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: Tony pitch in Game one at Philly tomorrow. Let's just

1035
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 3: say this in advance. I mentioned this during the regular

1036
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 3: season when Otani has been on the mound as a pitcher,

1037
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 3: and you know, they have that pitch com instead of

1038
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: actually the catcher putting down different fingers for the signs,

1039
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 3: Otani has always had to and this is in a

1040
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 3: normal game in July or August, had to cover up

1041
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 3: his ear with his glove to be able to hear

1042
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: the pitch come properly. And that includes at home games.

1043
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 3: What's going to happen at Philadelphia tomorrow. That's going to

1044
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 3: be something I'm looking at in inning one of Game

1045
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 3: one of this best of five. By the way, the

1046
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 3: great Sarah Langs baseball researcher points out that we've got

1047
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: Otani with fifty five homers this year. Kyle Schwarber the

1048
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 3: Phills fifty six homers. So it's the first time multiple

1049
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: players with at least fifty five in a season have

1050
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 3: made the postseason the same year, and we haven't mentioned

1051
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 3: cal Rawley's going to be playing for Seattle tomorrow, but

1052
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 3: we assume shoey Otani is going to both pitch and

1053
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: lead off in the batting order. He would be the

1054
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 3: first starting pitcher ever to lead off in a postseason game,

1055
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: because no starter has hit anywhere in the order except

1056
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 3: eight or nine in a playoff game, except for Babe

1057
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: Ruth once batted sixth and pitched for Boston in nineteen eighteen.

1058
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: So we're gonna get a little history tomorrow. But again,

1059
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 3: it is two games in Philly, the better team in

1060
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 3: the regular season, and if there's Game five, it's back

1061
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 3: at Philly the next Saturday.

1062
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: Now there's Dodgers Phillies. How about Yankees Blue Jays? The

1063
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: controversy you didn't know you wanted, but we're getting it

1064
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:40,240
Speaker 1: was in August when the Yankees were playing a series,

1065
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, it was in early September when right

1066
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: after the Yankees, right after the Yankees visited, and look,

1067
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays won the division series against the Yankees.

1068
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays were eight and five against them. Overall,

1069
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: they were six and one in Toronto. They had just

1070
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: beaten them, and so the Blue Jays and the Astros

1071
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: are playing a series. And in early September, former MLB

1072
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: major leaguer and manager Buck Martinez, who was the Blue

1073
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: Jays TV analyst, had some very pointed things to say

1074
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: about the Yankees, saying, quote the Yankees, they're not a

1075
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: good team. I don't care what their record is. Okay,

1076
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 1: clip and save that and see if these teams play

1077
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: again the rest of the season. Well, fast forward now

1078
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 1: a few weeks and here are the Yankees getting ready

1079
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 1: to take on the Blue Jays, and Aaron Boone, Yankee manager,

1080
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: had some thoughts on Buck Martinez's words, and here he

1081
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 1: was talking about it earlier today.

1082
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 7: I feel like, you know, obviously the last couple of

1083
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 7: months really started to play really well, and you know,

1084
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 7: contrary to some thoughts up here, we're a really good team.

1085
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: Is That's all?

1086
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 8: That's been a theme I guess at around the team

1087
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 8: of feeling that way.

1088
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 4: What's that is?

1089
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 8: That's all that you kind of stressed the team? But

1090
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 8: both you say, contrary to thoughts up here. Oh, I know,

1091
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 8: I know Buck had some thoughts. That's o ours upon

1092
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 8: it to so he's wrong, but it doesn't matter. We

1093
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 8: got to go play, and we got to go performs

1094
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 8: as everyone does at this time of years now.

1095
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: He had some thoughts, Jason, and he went on to

1096
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 3: say that night, Buck Martinez, the Yankees have a lot

1097
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 3: of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in

1098
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 3: the field. They don't run the bases very well. If

1099
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance

1100
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 3: to win.

1101
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 4: End quote. And this followed the month before.

1102
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 3: Remember the Yankee announcer Michael Ka talking about on his show,

1103
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 3: I know the Blue Jays are in for there aren't

1104
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 3: a first place team. They are not, you know, And

1105
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 3: so this has gone back and forth in the summer.

1106
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, and you could tell Aaron booz oh it

1107
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. No, clearly it does because hey, yeah, I know,

1108
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 1: Buck had some thoughts and all of this. And first

1109
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: of all, let me say this, I get it because

1110
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone has had to listen for the narrative the

1111
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: last twelve and a half months of the Yankees are

1112
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: a bad team. Fundamentally, they're bad. They run the bases

1113
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: like little leaguers. All the errors in the World Series,

1114
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: all the mistakes they made, and this is on the

1115
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: coaches right when when a team plays like that, that's

1116
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: on the coach. Hey, why do they play this way?

1117
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 2: Man?

1118
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: How do they? How do they play that? And Aaron

1119
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: Boone has had to listen to that, and it's been

1120
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: shots at him for the better part of the last year.

1121
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: And this is why, like every like, I feel like

1122
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: he gets so close to getting fired. And yet somehow

1123
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: they they pull it out of the fire and they

1124
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: win a couple of games in a row, and here

1125
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: they are again, and Aaron Boone is able to survive.

1126
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: But you could tell it has really bothered him that

1127
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 1: this is the narrative around the Yankees that fundamentally they're bad,

1128
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 1: they're embarrassing, they play they they they play the game

1129
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: in a way that I can't believe they succeed the

1130
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: way they do. You've had players around the league say it.

1131
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: Now you have Buck Martinez saying, I'm telling not afraid

1132
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: to say it on television about the Yankees. And I

1133
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: get that Aaron Boone is really mad going into this

1134
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: because this has been a narrative that he's had to

1135
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: deal with now for over a year, ever since the

1136
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: World Series.

1137
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 4: And we brought it up on this show.

1138
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 3: The irony is the Dodgers said after the fact, after

1139
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 3: they clinched against all those Yankee mistakes in Game five

1140
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 3: of the World Series last year. We knew we could

1141
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 3: count on that from the Yankees. We knew from our

1142
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 3: scouting that that was gonna come up, and it sure did.

1143
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 3: The irony is the Dodger outfield has become that team

1144
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 3: this year, which you referenced earlier. There's no confidence at

1145
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 3: all in the Dodgers defensively, and I think you need

1146
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 3: look no further than the guy who usually manned center field,

1147
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 3: who is from Cuba, like Yasi Opuig or from Cuba.

1148
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 3: Andy pot has too often plays like Yasio Puig. He

1149
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 3: can be spectacular, he can have power, and sometimes there's

1150
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 3: just head scratching moments like wow, is this a seventeen

1151
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 3: year old out in the outfit? How did this happen

1152
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 3: in a Major League game? So hopefully one of those

1153
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 3: won't happen. The negative for Toronto going into this Yankee

1154
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 3: series that starts tomorrow is their pitching hasn't been superb

1155
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 3: and they allowed over two hundred home runs this year.

1156
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: The Yankees head by far the most home runs hit

1157
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 3: of any team in the majors this year. Number one

1158
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 3: in homers, number one in RBIs, number one in walks.

1159
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 3: Yankees were number one in run scored also.

1160
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: So now you're looking at this series, right, and look,

1161
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: I already said last night, Look, the Yankees look like

1162
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:17,240
Speaker 1: a team of destiny.

1163
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: Right.

1164
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: You had the new Jeter play when McMahon goes into

1165
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: the stands to get it. Yeah, and Schlittler shows up

1166
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: like he's the new Andy Pettitt, who had all the

1167
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: plaudits for him a rookie hasn't done that in the game.

1168
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, they're going back to big, big performances.

1169
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: You're seeing names like Hoyit, Will Helman, Mike Bottaker and

1170
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I gotta tell you this is how

1171
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: this series goes. The Yankees take the first two games

1172
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: in Toronto. You talk about the Dodgers mashing. They are

1173
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: going to mash, They're gonna hit, They're motivated, they are

1174
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: hot at the right time, right eliminating the Red Sox,

1175
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: seizing momentum after the seventh inning of Game two, where

1176
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: ridiculously the Red Sox decided to go conservative and play

1177
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: for one run. And ever since that moment, when the

1178
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: Yankees got out of that bases loaded jam, the Red

1179
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: Sox didn't score, and the Yankees were able to score

1180
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: enough runs to win. They're gonna hit. They're gonna score

1181
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: seven to eight runs the first two games. They're gonna

1182
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: go back to the stadium. It's gonna be two nothing Yankees,

1183
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: and the Yankees are gonna win this series and they

1184
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: are gonna blow torch their way through Toronto. I get

1185
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 1: how good Toronto is. I get they've been playing well,

1186
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: but as you said, their pitching is not good. They

1187
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: give up a lot of home runs. The Yankees hit

1188
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: home runs. You're seeing Volpi get hot in the first

1189
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. Chishm when he gets in the lineup,

1190
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: he's affecting the game. Now. Maybe sitting him out the

1191
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 1: first game was the best thing because now he's really

1192
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: motivated the last couple of games. But this is a team.

1193
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: Now Ben Rice has jumped in. He was sitting out

1194
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: the first game, and he's played well. They are going

1195
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: to absolutely destroy the baseball and it could be a sweep.

1196
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: But I'll say, I'll I'll be nice. I'll say Yankees

1197
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: in five, and they wind up winning the series and

1198
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: they go on to the ALCS.

1199
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 3: Game five would be at Toronto. Since Toronto finished as

1200
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 3: division champion, winning that tiebreaker against the they had finished

1201
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 3: tied in the al standings. Keep in mind the schedule.

1202
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 3: These are day games. This weekend in Toronto four pm

1203
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 3: Eastern Saturday, Fox TV Yankees at Toronto Game one, then

1204
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 3: four pm Eastern Sunday on FS one Yankees at Toronto

1205
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 3: for Game two, and then FS one will have Tuesday

1206
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: nights Game three of the best of five from New York.

1207
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: You like offense, it's gonna be a Yankees explosion starting

1208
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: tomorrow in Toronto, and maybe some errors too, but enough

1209
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: hits and they're gonna wind up winning.
