The math hardly ever works, right, Teams are 178 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: like five thousand and four when you're up three to 179 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: one in the series. Yes, sometimes it gets once in 180 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: a great, great while a team can win a game. 181 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: But the Knicks would have to win tomorrow, they'd have 182 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: to go back and win Game seven. Pace already won. 183 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: There's reasons why teams don't blow three one leads, and 184 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the Knicks have no one but themselves to blame because 185 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: as well as the Pacers have played, and clear it's 186 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: the best series in the playoffs they have played. 187 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: Again, we talked about this. 188 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: They've had four guys, four different players have all time 189 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: NBA great performances, right, Pascal Siaka about the performance of 190 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: his career. All right, Halliburton in two games has had 191 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the performance of his career, but especially in Game four. 192 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Yet the lucky shot in Game one him in Game four. 193 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: We talked, We've talked about Siakam and when you look 194 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: at Nathin twice. Now off the bench with twenty points 195 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: in like four minutes. They've had that. Still, the Knicks 196 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: haven't played well and defensively they've not been what they 197 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: should be. And when you get down three to one, 198 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: what can I really expect? So if they win tomorrow, 199 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: great and I'll be excited to watching and it's gonna 200 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: be awesome. It'd be a great thing. But I'm not 201 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: surprised they lose by twenty. I'm not surprised if that happens. 202 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: And really, if they lose this game, I will be 203 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: absolutely okay and say, all right, not our year. We 204 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: were a little we were close, clearly because we're two 205 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: games away from the NBA Finals. Is this the roster 206 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: we need? Is Karl Anthony town still you know, the 207 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: guy to build off of and be the number two 208 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: guy there to Jalen Brunson. Or do they need to 209 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: go get a better play making forward as a trade 210 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: for Giannis have to happen? Can they trust that Michal 211 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Bridges is gonna be more of the guy we saw 212 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: against the Celtics than the rest of the year. Like 213 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: these are the questions that will have to be asked. 214 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: But whatever happens tomorrow, I'm telling you, Mike, I'm gonna 215 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: be fine with the outcome. I'm not gonna go unless 216 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: there's another big Halliburton shot that bounces off the rim 217 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: up in the air and they all make the choking 218 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: sign and the fans make the choking side, then I 219 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: won't be okay. But if it's your garden variety Pacers win, yeah, 220 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be fine. 221 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: I'll be absolutely fun. 222 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: Well, then you're gonna be more calm than I am 223 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: because I started to like this squad. 224 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I'm sure I've. 225 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 4: Made fun of kats in ability to give you a 226 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 4: consistent defensive effort all season long. 227 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: You can go check the tape, all right. 228 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Other folks might have just come around because they decided to, 229 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: you know, dabble in some basketball something. 230 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: You and I to bottle lines like that's gonna kill 231 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: you when. 232 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: It matters, And sure enough it has right guys like 233 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: Josh Hart, guys that played that style right. It's energy, 234 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: it's a frenetic pace, and you feel that after your 235 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: forty eight minutes they've left everything out there. Jalen Brunson, 236 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: you're unlikely superstar size. 237 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: Stature his I mean, look, he's built like a fire plug, 238 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 4: yet he's still able to find his own shot. The 239 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 4: tear drop jump shots over guys six inches tall of them, 240 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 4: all of that stuff. 241 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: It's all I've comeing off. And then there's Thibodeau. 242 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: I have a love hate relationship with that guy, going 243 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 4: back to his time with the Bulls, like because there 244 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: were times like that's exactly what you need, tough love. 245 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 4: Oh wait, you just ground these guys down to nothing. 246 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 4: It's why we celebrate you know, Joe Kim Noah as 247 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 4: a try harder guy. 248 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: You had him there in New York too, you know 249 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: what it's all about. It's like, yeah, that's a glue 250 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: kind of guy. So yeah, if they go out and 251 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: they lose terribly, then blank them. 252 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 4: I've invested too much at this point. All right, it's 253 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: a four point spread there there. 254 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna be more mad than me that that because no, no, no, 255 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: you must have bet it. 256 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: Tell me the truth.

Right, 288 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: even though it goes to seven games, if you watched 289 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: it minute to minute, was there any doubt who the 290 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: better team was? 291 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 3: No, not at all. 292 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: There were just spurts in the game where suddenly their 293 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: clawback in and you have a couple of miraculous finishes 294 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: to extend the series. All credit to Denver, But you 295 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: knew that Oklahoma City was the better team. 296 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: I'm not so sure that Indiana's the better team here. 297 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: Well, look again, they're playing at the highest level they've 298 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: ever played at. Again, when you have four players four 299 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: times in this series, different players have had their the 300 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: games of their lives. What can you do, right, I mean, 301 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. What can you do when 302 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: that happens? 303 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: And you know what I'm gonna say that he's snicking. 304 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Game one, looking like I give me the ball, Give 305 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: me the ball, right, I mean, of those guys, none 306 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: of those Rainbow Yeah, no, I got it.

The line is four. 308 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: The line is four, which means you're gonna be gripping 309 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: if Vegas is right. And guess what, They've been pretty 310 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: damn spot on in most of these games, which means 311 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: it's coming down to a sequence down the stretch, which 312 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: means you are not gonna be okay. I'll be fine, 313 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: and I'll be the first one to say, Hey, maybe 314 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: the Knick should trade their entire roster for the Pacers 315 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: rosters because clearly the Pacers are better playing at Madison 316 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: Square Garden the Knicks are.

They're trailing five two to the Yankees. 519 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 6: It may not be worth much. Bottom of the fifth 520 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 6: at Dodger Stadium. He allowed four home runs early. He's 521 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 6: made it through five innings, eighty pitches. They didn't have 522 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 6: to burn the whole bullpen. But yeah, it might be 523 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 6: an l for the whole for the home team. And 524 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 6: by the way, Tony Gonsolin is now alive. 525 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: Then. 526 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 6: This is his sixth start, allowed eight home runs, and 527 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 6: last year he gave up about twenty homers in twenty starts. 528 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 6: The guy who's starting tomorrow night's game on Fox TV 529 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 6: for la Land and Knack has allowed twenty home runs 530 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 6: in about twenty starts in his major league career. Yoshinobu 531 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 6: Yamamoto pitches Sunday night. 532 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: So what you're saying is TJ, he has a knack 533 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: for giving up the long run. 534 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 6: Yes, DJ, Yes, hopefully he wasn't watching this tonight we 535 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 6: did by Sharona. 536 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 3: Was that ball hit far off of landon nack? 537 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 6: We had a first inning home run from Aaron Judge tonight, 538 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 6: solo shot his nineteenth. Shoho Tani answered for La with 539 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 6: a solo homer bottom of the first, his twenty first 540 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 6: of the year. Tonight marks the first time in Major 541 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 6: League history that both raining MVPs homered in the first 542 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 6: inning of the same game, and in fact, apparently once before, 543 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 6: just not in the same inning. Once before we had 544 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 6: had raining MVPs homer in the same game. It was 545 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 6: Barry Bonds and McGill Tahada in two thousand and three, Well, 546 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 6: the Mets were winners at home over Colorado four to two. 547 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 6: Francisco Lindor two solo homers, he had three hits, three 548 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 6: runs scored. Rockies have lost six in a row. And 549 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 6: by the way, a great Sarah Lang stat for you, 550 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 6: the Mets when Lindor homers have won twenty five straight 551 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 6: games in the regular season. The all time record is 552 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 6: twenty nine straight wins by a team when one specific 553 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 6: players homers, and that goes back to the Brooklyn Dodgers 554 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 6: Carl Ferrello in the early fifties. So wow, this was 555 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 6: the good luck charm and Lindor's was a leadoff homer 556 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 6: and later another home run. So the Mets at home 557 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 6: twenty two and seven, and it's looking like the Rockies 558 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 6: will lose yet another series. They have yet to win 559 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 6: a series this season, and the Mets are only a 560 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 6: game back of the first place Phillies in the NLS. 561 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 6: Milwaukee won at Philadelphia six to two.

Right, a week 592 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: that's been filled with no news from him. Yet it 593 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: seems like every day there's a Steelers player or a 594 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: former teammate or some kind of analyst who says, what 595 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: are the Steelers dealing with Aaron Rodgers? What are they 596 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: dealing with this? What are they waiting for? The guy 597 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: doesn't want to play? Move on, go get somebody else. 598 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 3: Right. 599 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: The week began with the fact that maybe Kirk Cousins 600 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: is their backup plan in Pittsburgh if they can't get 601 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers to play, and clearly he's got to make 602 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: a decision sometime soon. Now, outside of Rogers, I really 603 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: want to focus on this because this really is the 604 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: big thing. 605 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 3: This story is why Pittsburgh needs. 606 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: A new head coach and general manager, all right, because 607 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: I look, Mike Tomlin's been a great head coach for 608 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: a long time. Omar Kahn's been a really good GM 609 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: because they bring a lot of talent in and every 610 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 1: year the Steelers are good enough to be a periphery 611 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: playoff team, but they're so bad at picking quarterbacks and 612 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: deciding on quarterbacks and quarterbacks strategy, Like, can you trust 613 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be able to usher the Steelers into 614 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: the next era of football? They have decided to take 615 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: the most important position on the field and make it 616 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: a necessary evil. We're gonna try to get by met 617 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: with when Rogers decides he wants to play, he's gonna 618 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: be our guy. Right, you've done that now the last 619 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: few years it is not worked out. Right, Mike Tomlin 620 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: shows up and Ben Roethlisberger is already there. 621 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 3: So guess what. 622 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: Didn't have to worry about a quarterback for a long time, 623 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: which has been awesome for Mike Tomlin because when he 624 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about picking a quarterback, Hey, I'm 625 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: able to get the rest of the positions right and 626 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: everything is fantastic. Now he's got to pick a quarterback. 627 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: And what's happened since Ben Roethlisberger's retired. It has been 628 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: failure after failure from Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph all the 629 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: way through Russell Wilson justin fields and now hey, we're 630 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: gonna bring Mason Rudolph back and maybe we get Aaron Rodgers. 631 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: Like nobody thinks about the quarterback position like this. There 632 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: is no team in the NFL that treats the quarterback 633 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: position this way. And whether it doesn't matter if it's 634 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's strategy to say, I want to have the 635 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: quarterback be a necessary evil position, which is stupid. Right, 636 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: you need to have playmakers, right, this is how teams win. 637 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Yet Mike Tomlin has this antiquated strategy of I want 638 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: to win emphasizing the running game, emphasizing short passing game, 639 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: emphasizing defense. That's not how you win in the NFL. 640 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 3: Now, man, it is twenty twenty five. I know this right. 641 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: The football knowledge you have if you could run rings 642 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: around all of us here at Fox Sports Radio, Yet 643 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: you don't know that you need to go get a quarterback. 644 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: And it's not well. In the draft they didn't like 645 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: you could have drafted. You could have drafted guys early 646 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: this year. You could have gone and gotten a guy left. 647 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: You had multiple chances in the last three years to 648 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: make a bold decision to get a quarterback. You tell 649 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: me there's no good quarterbacks out there. You couldn't convince 650 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: one quarterback that you want to go after and say, hey, 651 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: come to Pittsburgh and be our guy here. No, you 652 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: tried to go cheap with Russell Wilson. It didn't work right. 653 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett started, and you know, as much as he struggled, 654 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: he was really out the door before he got another chance. 655 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: Whatever you have done, you're bad at it, and you're 656 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: bad at it and you have a bad strategy. So 657 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: looking forward, if I want to compete, because the Steelers 658 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: have a much higher level of what's acceptable than a 659 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: lot of other teams in the NFL. Look, I'm just 660 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: happy to get back. If the Jets even are five 661 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: hundred in December, I'm going to be doing backflips. But 662 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: the Steelers, hey, this is a different level of what 663 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: we're used to. We need to be a playoff team, 664 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: super Bowl threat. I don't know that they can get 665 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: there anymore with how things are currently configured.

So I haven't fallen off the rails. 694 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: It works well enough, it's like, but don't you want more? 695 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: It's like, but if you take that big swing, are 696 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: you fearing that you're going six and eleven? 697 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: If it doesn't work, is that the thing? 698 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: Like? 699 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 4: I know this works because if I control all these 700 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 4: other variables, all that guy has to do is not 701 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 4: throw up on himself consistently. 702 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 3: And they haven't. 703 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: Even going back to Kenny Pickett was a great no. 704 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: But they wont enough games. So yeah, it's it's a 705 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: strange place to be. I aspire to have that problem 706 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: in my fandom. 707 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: Boy, we're just good enough, but we're not getting over. 708 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 6: Nah. 709 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 3: We won forty one games as a White Sox fan 710 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 3: last year.

The Jason Smith Show with my best 721 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Well, it doesn't look like Max Friede's 722 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: gonna be around much longer. Seventy four pitches in Dodgers 723 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: threatening with two on and nobody out. In the bottom 724 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: of the sixth inning, it is five to three because 725 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: sho Heo Tani has taken free deep for the second 726 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: time tonight. This much the right center field, and I 727 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: think he missed first base when he was round in 728 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: the bag and he had to go back and touch 729 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: it like he does. He saw the ball go over 730 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: the fence and he stopped and he went back to 731 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: touch first base. 732 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 3: You think he knew I didn't touch it, right, I didn't. 733 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 4: I think he was watching to see because Judge mayor 734 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 4: may not have had a play on it. 735 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: Right. 736 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 3: The trajectory of it as it's getting ready to clear 737 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 3: the wall, it looks like Judge is going to try 738 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 3: to make elite and see if he can keep it 739 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 3: in his glove. Does drop a lot of that is true. 740 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 3: The analytics are strong. Uh. 741 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: And now a double off the wall and left has 742 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: made it five to four. I think that's gonna be 743 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: it for Max Freed Freddie Freeman with an opposite field double, 744 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers have runners at second and third, nobody out. They 745 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 1: now trail the Yankees five. 746 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 3: So now they bring in yes no, yes, now yes. 747 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 3: Now that's exactly how it's gonna go. We see what happened. 748 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 3: He drives. 749 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: He's playing bring it on the bullpen cart and he's 750 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: playing the guitar everything else. Yeah, I think, uh so, 751 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: we'll keep you posted on here again Freddie Freeman doubling 752 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: off the wall in right center. 753 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 3: Uh again. 754 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: Five to four Yankees with the lead, as the Dodgers 755 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: continued to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. 756 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 3: Now, after last. 757 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: Night, I really feel like we are in the We 758 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: are in the the pathway of something that's gonna be 759 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: incredible next year. Right now, last night could have been 760 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: the final night for the NBA inside the NBA on TNT, right, 761 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: we know what's going away and and the new show 762 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: is going to ESPN for next year. 763 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 3: Well most like, yeah, same show, but it's good.

They're not gonna tell me what to say. 778 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a disaster for Barkley and ESPN. 779 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna constantly want him to say certain things or 780 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: not say certain things. He's gonna go off the rails 781 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: with stuff he already has said. They're not gonna tell 782 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: me what to say, right and now you have Shaq 783 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: saying we're coming for jobs.

It's 788 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna be awesome, and it's gonna be ESPN eating itself 789 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: from the inside out. They're gonna be how do we 790 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: how do we keep track of all of these controversies 791 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: where people are going over the top. There's gonna be 792 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: personalities who are gonna pick sides, and there's gonna be 793 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: analysts with ESPN that side, oh so and so, like 794 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: this tweet that Shaq had and McAfee's friend like this 795 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: eat here and all that. It's gonna be so entertaining 796 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: for us. And ESPN's gonna say, I need may locks. 797 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: All the executives gonna say I need may locks every 798 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: single day because there's gonna be something every eight hours 799 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: where one of our shows is at odds with another show. Right, 800 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: it was enough with McAfee and all the stuff you 801 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: hear all the time.
