Put that in the movie. 174 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: Put that in a screenplay. 175 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: That's good. It's like like Billy being in Moneyball when 176 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: he goes huh, like when they say, you know where 177 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: Garcia is a nor Garcia is a no huh Like 178 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: that was the kind of look hit huh okay. 179 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: But you see it registering. It's like, Wow, there's like 180 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: a newfound respect. But she hates you at the same time. 181 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: Tell you details at the end, like I can't just 182 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: say I read it nice.

Why why did you tell me that story? 185 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: If it's gonna end like that? It was so sad 186 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: it was awful, Like Bernard Mallaman, Come on, I want 187 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: to see that part of them. I want to see 188 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: that movie though, that those final scenes, that's like, that's 189 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: like how they so sad red they went they went 190 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: to test audiences and they said, yeah, you know this 191 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: isn't playing well. How about he hits a home run 192 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: and all the lights break? Ah? 193 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, do that instead? Yeah, and here's a popular there 194 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: you go. 195 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dough. 196 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: We all get John Paul Morosi's thoughts on the Natural 197 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes, but uh, There's been 198 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of attention the last twenty four hours on 199 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win over the Giants. Right, and you saw 200 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer excited and here comes your Davian Clowney and 201 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here come the cow cherry in 202 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: that locker room. 203 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 3: He hasn't been that happy since Jimmy Johnson and he 204 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: had trophy to pass around. 205 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: Remember back to me beat the Bills back in ninety six. Uh, 206 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: it was in the Neil O'donnald kid. We knew he's 207 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna throw the interception. All Larry Brown had to do 208 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: was stand there and catch the ball. Almost dropped it, 209 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: so uh I would have cut him before he got 210 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: to the back back to the bus. But but but 211 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: he might have catching it. We won. Uh. You see 212 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: the excitement for Brian Schottenheim. Yes, first win as a 213 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: head coach. All of this. Cowboys have a great drive 214 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: at the end, they kick a sixty yard field goal 215 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: to send it into overtime. They win in overtime. I understand, 216 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: but let's be real, Dallas should be nowhere near celebrating 217 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: this win against the Giants, because if you're celebrating this 218 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and think it, we're on the right track. You're just 219 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: ignoring the reality that the Cowboys are because the Giants stink. Yeah, 220 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: but to me, to be fair, they should have won 221 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: Opening Night. You're just ignoring. You're ignoring reality. Reality is 222 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: that the Giants are bad. Russ Wilson is cooked and 223 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: he goes for four thirty and just throws moonball after 224 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: bloe ball, and he throws a touchdown in the double 225 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: coverage at the end of the game that I mean, 226 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: come up, you should have lost just because of that. 227 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: Now, we talked about it going into the game, as 228 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 3: we made predictions and such that that secondary would be 229 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: a problem. The fact that you don't have a pass 230 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: rush clearly an issue. But with Bland being out and 231 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: digs on a pitch count that the moon ball would 232 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: be in effect. Didn't expect it to that level duorl 233 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 3: super Toe would have to get when you just watched 234 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: him throw it and throw an incomplete pass two plays 235 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: for I think he's gonna go deep again. No, now 236 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 3: it's a touchdown, right and then hey, hey, hey, he's 237 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: gonna pitch it inside with the guy in the blood. 238 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: And then a sixty four yard field goal. Like you 239 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: needed all of this to escape the Giants who stink. 240 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is barely holding onto the job. He's he's 241 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna have it for a couple of weeks now because 242 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: of that game, man through for four thirty man I 243 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: still got it. Did you see Jackson Dart creeping into 244 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: the game, Like, what the hell are we doing to 245 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: get him out? Get him out? Get him out and out? 246 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: And you had minus three yards of total offense. Get 247 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: hi out, Get him out, get him out? Like you 248 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: can't you can't sugarcoat this and make it say, oh hey, 249 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: we're using this as a springboard. Dallas is terrible. Okay, 250 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: they are terrible. The Giant the Giants are so bad, 251 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: and they spent most of the game beating you these 252 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a game, and really you have 253 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: to find a way to hold on to that kind 254 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: of game at the end, and and and the way 255 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: they played that defensively, the final drive down is awful. Now. 256 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: And it's not that they got beat top to bottom 257 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: by the Cowboy, by the by the Cowboys, but just hey, 258 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna win that game, it's gonna 259 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: be a game. You find a way to pull it 260 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: out at the end, and because because that's how the 261 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: Giant the only way they're gonna win this game, and 262 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: they did it. And then defensively they played they played 263 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: two lacks on that final drive, and it was what 264 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: what are you doing allowing the Cowboys to even get 265 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: that close? Because now sixty yard field goals happen. Kicking 266 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: has never been better in the history of the NFL 267 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: than it is right now. Just gets better and better 268 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: every single year. The top kickers are better than anybody 269 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: we saw in the nineties, the eighties, the seventies, whatever 270 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: it is. They're better than they are now. They can 271 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: get sixty yard field goals routinely, like the Giants completely 272 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: blew the end of that game right, absolutely bad. As 273 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: bad as the Jets losses the Bills, this was even worse. 274 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: And so for the Cowboys to see them suddenly, I'm like, yeah, 275 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: I get that you want to have some great vibes 276 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: on it, but let's be realistic. You needed all of 277 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: that to escape one of the worst teams in the 278 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: NFL in your home opener, right, the Cowboys are exactly 279 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: who I said they were the beginning of the season. 280 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: They're a shootout team as in don't get involved in 281 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: a shootout with the Cowboys because offensively, they have the 282 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: horses to beat you. Right, we know that, we know 283 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: they have that. Whether it's Ceedee, Lamb or Pickens. They 284 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: can throw the football. They're not gonna run it a ton, 285 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: but they can throw it dak and sling it. Don't 286 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: get in a shootout with them. Find a way to 287 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: limit that because that's who the Cowboys are and that's 288 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: how the Cowboys are gonna win games. And the Giants 289 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And the Cowboys did every single scrap 290 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: of good luck and energy you could possibly muster up 291 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: just to beat the Giants. So yeah, I can't get 292 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: excited about this for the Cowboys because they showed who 293 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: they are. They're a bad football team that escaped a 294 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: worse foot. That's a coup. 295 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 3: What's funny is I mean, you're a CD lamb drop 296 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: from being two to zero. Now, does it always play 297 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 3: out the same way? No, But Russell Wilson went to 298 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 3: the moon ball again and you get the pick and 299 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: the opportunity to make a play. Now they are narrow 300 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: one point favorites on the road against a heretofore hapless Bears, defense. 301 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: This is going to be how many points in this game? 302 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, forty eight to forty seven under is 303 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: fifty That could be in the first half, fifty first half. 304 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: So anybody like we talked about, We talked about the 305 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: Bears a lot yesterday and you can go find that 306 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: wherever you download your podcasts. And as I said, there's 307 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: opportunities on the slate where Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson and 308 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: the offense has an opportunity to click here being one 309 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: of them. A home game against. 310 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: A Dallas team to where defensively they've got issues. Secondary 311 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 3: is not getting any better. Bears have their issues in 312 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: the secondary, so the moon ball coming off of the 313 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: arm of Dak Prescott are certainly there. They've got a 314 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: nice run game right now. Javonte Williams back to back 315 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: weeks has looked pretty solid. But for the Bears, still 316 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 3: trying to find some semblance of a run game with 317 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift and company. All of a sudden, you're at 318 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: two to one, Yeah. 319 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: Telling you, man, watch but this game, look, I get it, 320 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: But that's kind of who the Cowboys are like worst 321 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: football teams. Yes, I can say things are bad in 322 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: Chicago right now, man, the schedule maker is is a 323 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys friend right now. But you just can't ignore the 324 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: fact that, Okay, it's not like you needed this and 325 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: you beat and you beat the Eagles, right, it's not 326 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: like you had this and you beat the Ravens or 327 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: the Bills like you needed everything you needed to beat 328 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: the But but again, go back to the opener though, at. 329 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 3: Home to where to where you could have darn Carter 330 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: doesn't spit at Dak Prescott, and Dak doesn't spit at 331 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: him to spur that on. 332 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: Maybe the game isn't even that close. So I'm taking 333 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: the best defensive town, top five defensive tackle. 334 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: A Well, hey, but you had the opportunity once once 335 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 3: he was dumb enough to spin on Tag Prescott, he 336 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 3: opened the door for you to go and steal a game, 337 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: and yeah, left it on the turf. But because you're 338 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: best receiver, gacked away for three deep ball. 339 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: But he still dropped those passes. 340 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: But what I mean, though, right, is that so you 341 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: had your chance and then you take advantage of a 342 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: game against the Giants like he can only beat who's 343 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: on the schedule and they're still one of thirty two? 344 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: Are they better? Or worse than the Jets. Let's talk 345 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: exit out about a Fresco exit Swallen Dome.

The Natural is 374 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: the movie that everybody is gravitating towards on social media, 375 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: which is awesome because look, my favorite sports movie of 376 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: all time because I know it's the one I keep 377 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: going back to. Whenever it's on, I stop and watch it. 378 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: But we started the show talking about the incorrect baseball strategy. 379 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: At the end of The Natural, nobody better to throw 380 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: this boy, and I'm sure he will agree with me. 381 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, throw this by as if you were getting that 382 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: third strike on the outside corner instead of trying to 383 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 3: path it inside. 384 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: Again. Not my first rodeo with us down the hotline. 385 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: Long time MLB insider, MLB Network, Fox Sports radio. It 386 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: is the Pope, John Palmerosi, John Paul, Happy Tuesday, man, 387 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: how you doing? 388 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 4: I am doing outstanding, my friends. The Mets one tonight 389 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 4: an easy win for your team. So I knew watching 390 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 4: that first inning unfold. I'm going to speak to a 391 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 4: very happy, relieve, and newly confident Jason Smith here this evening. 392 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, I don't even care who wins now between 393 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Diamond bases are basically time doesn't matter. 394 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna win. 395 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: So okay, I'll let the stress go for me the 396 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: rest of the night. 397 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: Tonight, John Paul, Well, here we go, and I think 398 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 4: that there was plenty of conversation about what was going 399 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 4: on with the pitching for the Mets. Tonight. They get 400 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 4: four innings out of homes, the Manaya comes in, Juan 401 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 4: Soto continues to build, by the way, one of the 402 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 4: great debut seasons with a team with a new team 403 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 4: that any free agent player has ever had. That was 404 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 4: not as you may recall the prevailing thought process on 405 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 4: Juan Soto's season when it was in the early days there. 406 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 4: I recall seeing him in Boston in May when there 407 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: was all this pressure. But he has exhausted all that dialogue, 408 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: and now the Mets they're really a little easier right 409 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 4: now about exactly what their playoff chances are. 410 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: All right now, we'll get to the rest of baseball 411 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: in the second. But I want to throw this by 412 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 1: you because we talked about this a lot obviously, you know, 413 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: honoring the life memory of Robert Redform the natural, which 414 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure you have seen approximately one hundred and fifty 415 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: times like I have. So I want to throw this 416 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: by you here because you know, this is something that 417 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: I really feel like. Okay, a big error at the 418 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: end of the playing game. Right, So the Knights are 419 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: down to bottom of the ninth inning with runners on 420 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: first and third, two outs. Young Berry wild goes two 421 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: and zero on Roy Hobbes, and then the manager, Sibby Sisty, 422 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: former mlber, comes and takes young Berry out of the game, 423 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: brings in John Rhodes, best fastball in Major League Baseball, 424 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: not even a season under his belt. Aren't you walking 425 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Roy Hobbs in that situation? First of all, you're probably 426 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: walking him because you don't want him to beat you. 427 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: With two on and two out, You're absolutely walking him. 428 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: If a reliever is coming in inheriting a two and 429 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: ohero count. You're not trying, and it comes from behind. 430 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: In the sack bat, you're saying, Okay, go down to 431 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: first base. I'll figure it out with a cleanup batter. 432 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: That a character that we don't even know, he's not 433 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: even been the movie yet. Like, I think that was 434 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: like a strategy that could have been done a little 435 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: bit differently correct. 436 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 4: I think that there was a different way to pitch him. 437 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 4: And as we know, one of the tenants that has 438 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 4: always existed in professional baseball is that if a veteran 439 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 4: left handed slugger has bloody spots on his jersey, you 440 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: gotta build the inside basketball. You gotta throw the inside bastball. 441 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: And that's basically what the logic was. The catcher's like, 442 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: oh my gosh, well Roy, what's going on? I guess 443 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 4: I gotta thrown the inside basketball? And it's we believed 444 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 4: that forever and he and it was interesting because he 445 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 4: goes with he puts the two fingers down first and 446 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 4: then goes one, indicating that there was probably a system 447 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 4: of multiple signs going on, and he thought beat him 448 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 4: inside with a fastball. Clearly he did not, I believe 449 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 4: by the way that and since you are a greater 450 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: historian in this movie than I am, but I believe 451 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: that that scene was filmed at the War Memorial Stadium 452 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 4: in Buffalo, New York. Am I am I correct about that, 453 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 4: the old War Memorial Stadium, which I've heard was just 454 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 4: a cavernous old triple A ballpark. Of course, they now 455 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 4: play closer to downtown at salein Field, which once was 456 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 4: called Dunn Tire Park, which of course was home to 457 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 4: the Blue Jays for a while. Down of Blue Jays 458 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 4: have their residence at the top spot of the Al East. 459 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 4: But yes, love Buffalo, great baseball town, great hockey town, 460 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 4: and for that movie was the home of the New 461 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: York Nights. And certainly condolences to the family of Robert Redford. 462 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: What a legend. I would also say all the President's 463 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: men also epic that as a journalist, the clip has 464 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 4: been making the rounds of when he's on the phone 465 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 4: working the Watergate story as the Allen Eagleton News is 466 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 4: going over the ticker and the wire in the background, 467 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: just cinematically, dramatically, absolute masterpiece. Robert Redford, we have lost 468 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: a legend. 469 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: To my friends, I figured you were gonna give us 470 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: a couple of lines out of indecent proposal. Instead, instead 471 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: you went journalistic integrity. 472 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: I should probably stay with what I know, which would 473 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 4: be sports and journalism. When we venture outside into indies 474 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 4: and proposal, I'm not so sure that i'd be that 475 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: I would be in my same. 476 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 3: Comfort zone all right now about some Marvel cinematic universe. No, 477 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 3: like the superheroes we've been watching on the diamond. Another 478 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 3: guy that probably shouldn't see another pitch to hit is 479 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: cal Raley. How do you best encapsulate what he's done 480 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: and continues to do here with record setting moments each 481 00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: and every night. 482 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: The best season all around that any one catcher has 483 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 4: ever had. You could easily argue that I realized that 484 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 4: Joe Mauer won three batting titles and Yogi Berra won 485 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 4: all the World Series rings. And obviously we don't know 486 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 4: if cal Rolly seems gonna win the World Series or not. 487 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 4: But in the modern game, the demands on the catcher 488 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: being what they are, the Delboro hole runs in these 489 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 4: hit the fact that he's got to keep two different 490 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 4: swings in line all the time, and he's catching so frequently. 491 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 4: I just I think that he has had one of 492 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 4: the great seasons that we've ever witnessed. And I'm not 493 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: convinced that he's going to win the MVP yet. I 494 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: think there's still a pretty compelling argument for Aaron Judge too. 495 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 4: And by the way, this is one of those years 496 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: when there's no wrong answer. I just think that what 497 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 4: Raley has done is so unique historically. It's just it's 498 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: really hard, really hard to catch that many games and 499 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 4: to still be that productive all season long. And where 500 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 4: guys people were saying in July, Oh, cal Raley, he's 501 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 4: gonna taper off his numbers. No way, He's going to 502 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 4: still be a productive hitter in the second half. He is. 503 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 4: And not only is that the case, he's pulling even 504 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 4: passing people like Mickey Mannlin, Ken Griffey Junior. I mean, 505 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 4: it's his next level stuff. So cal Raley, the Mariners 506 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 4: now won ten games in a row, and his MVP chances, 507 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 4: I would say, my friends are as strong now as 508 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: they have ever been. 509 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: Is it this simple? John Paul? And we break it down, 510 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: and is it this simple? If the Mariners win the West, 511 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: cal Rawley wins the MVP. If he doesn't, it's Aaron Judges. 512 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: Is it really could be that simple. 513 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 4: It could be. I think that it's let's put it 514 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 4: this way, if I back up a little bit, should 515 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 4: not be that simple, because let's say on the last day, 516 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 4: if the center fielder drops a routine fly ball that 517 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 4: with two outs the ninth inning and the Mariners lose 518 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 4: the division. It wasn't like. It wasn't like cal Rally's 519 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 4: season becomes any less impressive because of something that had 520 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 4: nothing to do with him. So I'm always a little 521 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 4: bit wary of that. But I'll say this, this team 522 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: has not won the American League West title in twenty 523 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 4: four years. They've had a surge in September to give 524 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 4: themselves a chance, and if they win it, it's going 525 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 4: to be because of him. I don't know, guys, it's 526 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 4: historically great what he's done as a catcher. This is 527 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 4: an MVP year. I'm not convinced he's gonna win it, 528 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 4: but it's an MVP year. What Aaron Judge is doing 529 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 4: is also an MVP year. The piece that Rally, though, 530 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 4: just to me, elevates them a bit, is it's the 531 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 4: difficulty that we have in quantifying the value of a 532 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: catcher and how many plays, the impacts he impacts every 533 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 4: single pitch during the course of a major league game. 534 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 4: He impacts when this team is on defense, and now 535 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 4: he's hitting into the mid fifties and home runs. Guys, 536 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 4: as a you're talking about value of a player to 537 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 4: his team, I just don't know that there's a more 538 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: vital player anywhere in Major League Baseball to his team 539 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 4: than cal Rawley is the Mariners. And that's not a 540 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 4: Christmas of anybody else. I just think that the delta 541 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 4: between between Raleigh and the second most important Mariner is 542 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 4: greater than judge to take your pick of a Yankee, 543 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 4: whether it's Stanton right now, others with the Phillies, Shoreber 544 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: to Harper. Let's say, Dodgers show a to Freddie. I 545 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 4: just think the gap has been bigger for for cal 546 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 4: rally to the number two player on that team then 547 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 4: probably anyone else that's been a serious MVP candidate in 548 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 4: recent years. 549 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: Fun with numbers, current implied odds have Raleigh had a 550 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 3: five percent chance. 551 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in the National League we got a no hitter. 552 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 3: Uh I have no hit innings from Shotani Is he too? 553 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 554 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: Nine point eight percent chance of him beating Schwarber right now, 555 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: odds those. 556 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 4: Chances are they're going up. I would say the chances 557 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: are a little less than ninety nine percent. The Dodgers 558 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 4: would allow him to try to finish nine innings tonight. 559 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not banking on that. 560 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's already gone. 561 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 4: There you go, So so there you go. That was 562 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 4: I was following the boxer before we came on the air. 563 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 4: That was what I was witnessing. So he's not going 564 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 4: to get the complete game. But everything that that Otani 565 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: has done has has told the Dodgers that he'll be 566 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 4: ready to start whatever game they need and that he 567 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 4: really should not have significant limits in terms of his 568 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 4: pitch count in October. He should be able, in my opinion, 569 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 4: at least get to the ninety pitch range, and if 570 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 4: for being fair, the Dodgers rarely let their guys go 571 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 4: above ninety pitches in the in the postseason anyhow, so 572 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 4: I think in many ways he is ideally prepared for 573 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 4: what's to come and shoei Otani, all the criticism that 574 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 4: he was there are just the questions, I should say, 575 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 4: not criticism, and just questions about if he was going 576 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 4: to be able to come back. Would he ever pitch again? 577 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 4: How can he keep all this stuff balance now that 578 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 4: his body is older than it was two years ago 579 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: when he was doing this for the Angels. I just 580 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 4: think it's one of the most impressive things I've ever 581 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 4: seen in sports what Shoeyotani has been able to do. 582 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 4: And he's proven to the Dodgers and higher baseball landscape 583 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 4: that he is still the elite pitcher that he showed 584 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 4: himself to be with the Los Angeles Angels. 585 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John Morosi. 586 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: Check him out on MLB Network. John Paul is always buddy. 587 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: Appreciate it, my friend. We'll talk to you next week. 588 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: Enjoy the games. 589 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 4: No good, everyboy. Today, I think my Lions Bears pick 590 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 4: was fairly accurate. I might have given the Bears a 591 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 4: little more credit than I thought they deserve. Yeah, okay, 592 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 4: but there you go. So I guess I am two 593 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 4: and zero the Lions are one and one. 594 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: Yeah no, buts Lock, you have a better record than 595 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: the Lions. 596 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 4: I have a better record than the Lions. All right, 597 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: real good about it. 598 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,239 Speaker 1: So give me your pick for this weekend coming up? 599 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: After fifty two points, against the Bears. The line, the line, 600 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: the red hot Lions offense now red hot coming back. 601 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: How do you like them this week Monday Night against 602 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens. 603 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 4: I guess the Ravens Monday Night. My goodness, What a 604 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 4: great spectacle that's gonna be. I believe it will be 605 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 4: the Lions twenty four to twenty. It's gonna be tighter. 606 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 4: Notice I didn't pick twenty seven or seventeen Detroit twenty 607 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 4: four Baltimore. 608 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: Twenty Undefeated celebrity Lions picker John Palmrosi giving you the 609 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: final score four Monday Nights, taking the under, John Paul, 610 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, funny, we'll talk to you joy. 611 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 4: But my understanding is that the Ravens didn't score a 612 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 4: ton of points last weekend, so I think it's they's 613 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 4: a bit of a low scoring vibe right now. So 614 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 4: it's gonna be twenty four to twenty Detroit. 615 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: There we go. There we go, breaking from his normal score, 616 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: which is usually twenty seven for detect right, twenty four 617 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: for the Lions this weekend. There goes John Paul, fifty two. 618 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: As you're over under from that one, fireworks for us. 619 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 620 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 621 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 2: pm Pacific, Fox. 622 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend 623 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: Mike Harmon.

ESPN BET showing that at Bet, 639 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: mgm UH and also a couple other different outlets.

Right, Matier, 641 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: it's funny we're talking about Mai and Odds, but funny 642 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: and Beck who we've said, look, he's the difference in Miami. Right, 643 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: as good as cam Ward is, he's exactly what Miami needs. 644 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: Three weeks and arch Manning, who has struggled, is now 645 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: no longer the favorite, and now we wonder how good 646 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: the guy is. Well, he's like fifteenth on the board. 647 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. This is my fault because the 648 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: night before the regular season began, the night before we 649 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: had Texas Ohio State, I said, you know what happens 650 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: if arch Manning sucks? What happens if he's not good? 651 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: Like this is a huge that's a huge blow for 652 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: college football.
