Speaker 3: Well dressed Hoboat.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: The United States is moving on to what could be

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: the greatest baseball game we've ever seen. The amass, the

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: absolute massive amount of talent between the United States Dominican Republic.

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 4: It's look at All Star Game for the Ages.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: That's what's happening on Sunday thanks to their five to

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: three win over Canada.

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: Joining us now on the hotline.

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: From the World Baseball Classic MLB Network Inside or Extraordinaire.

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi. It is the Pope,

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, John PAULA. Are we ever gonna see

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a game with this assemblage of talent like we're gonna

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: see on Sunday. It's insane what we're gonna see. He's speechless,

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi, you took him out.

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: He's speechless. I am here.

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: I can hear you. But here's the thing, I might

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: not be able to hear by the time the game

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: is over. Which is which is the best kind of

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: auditory complications, because it's gonna be loud. It'll be loud

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: about an hour before the game starts. It'll be allowed

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: probably about two hours after the game's over. And that's

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: how I like it in Miami. It's gonna be a

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: ton of fun. And I'll also say this in terms

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: of the semi final wins, today, the Dominican Republics looked

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: a lot better than the United States. An emphatic win

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: for the Dominicans over Korea, the US had to really

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: fight their way to a five to three win over

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: Team Canada, in which the Americans had only one extra

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: base hit and of the five runs they scored, four

40
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: of them reached based on either a walk or a

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: field of choice. So it has been a grinded out

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: kind of a week the Team USA. This was the

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: first time we've seen them on the field since that

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: disappointing lost to Team Italy, and of course they needed

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: to help for Italy the next night against Mexico. And

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: yet now they have landed where we thought they were

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: going to be all along, which is in a semi

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: final game against the Dominican Republic. So that's where they

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: probably should be. And now the excitement builds towards Sunday,

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 3: but it's gonna take their best game and fortunately four

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: Team USA. Their best starter, in my view, is the

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: man's on the mount, and that's fall.

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Teams outside of the pitching matchup right, I mean, we see.

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: This assemblage of talent.

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: It looks like an all Star game top to bottom. Lookie,

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm obviously they beat Canada. We talked about this the

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the World Baseball Classes. And look, if I'm

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: looking for one sort of weakness with the United States,

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: it's their bullpen. Because you're gonna get more bullpen games,

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: more time of the bullpen here on out. You know

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna get five innings, six innings in a game

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: we saw tonight a couple of home runs allowed Knada

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: get back in this seventy one pitches tonight for Logan Web,

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: same kind of deal you expect out of Schemes on Sunday,

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: is he go as long as they can?

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: Like, what do you expect to see here?

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: That's a great question, and I'm sure we'll get a

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: little more hilarity on this one as we get closer.

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: I would expect Schemes could be in the range of

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: eighty pitches, and that might sound a little aggressive, but

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: we're now not that far away from opening day. He

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: of course, will be the Pirates opening day starter. When

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: I look at Schemes, I look at what he was

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: able to do in his first start against Mexico, which

75
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: I thought was so impressive. His ability to make pitches,

76
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: his ability to execute pitches. I thought Skimes pitch one

77
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: of the best games of his career. That's saying something

78
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: when you consider the stage and the stakes. So I

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: think eighty pitches is reasonable to me. The big question

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: now is who does Mark Trossa really trust back there

81
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: in the bullpen. I think that you saw tonight that

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: the big trio towards the end is Bednar, Whitlock and

83
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Mason Miller. Miller was of the three, probably the the

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: most dominant. He was just unreal there in the ninth inning,

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: and I think that he has earned that right to

86
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: get the ball last. Whitlock has De Rosa's trust. Bednar

87
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: pitched into and then out of a real jam there

88
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: in the seventh inning. So that's the lateening trio, and

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: probably now before that we saw Keller come in. I'd

90
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: like to see some involvement of vest and Rogers, but

91
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: it's difficult because now you're talking about guys that have

92
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 3: not been there for the full journey. Names like Waka

93
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: and Holmes have already been removed from the roster because

94
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: of the piggybacking situation and how that's all working. So

95
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: a really interesting set of circumstances right now for Tmusa.

96
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: The big question of who they trust, and on the

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: Dominican side, it'll be Louis Savarino getting the ball to

98
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: pitch well in the Classics so far, maybe not quite

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: as impressively as Keans did. I think Severino is a

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: great choice of the Dominicans and their bullpen we know

101
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: is also excellent. So it'll be a tough matchup and

102
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 3: you'd have to say, based down the way they've played

103
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: so far, the Dominicans have been the better team in

104
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: this tournament. The electrifying offense. We saw it again today Tatzi, Soto,

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: Ladriguez and all the rest. It's just gonna be a

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: lot of fun to watch that game on Sunday.

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: All right, Two things we know.

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 6: It's the juice box, that one hundred and two hundred

109
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 6: and three mile an hour Mason Miller thing. I mean,

110
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 6: did you tap on that, you know, the odometer there

111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 6: and the speed gun to.

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: Figure that out.

113
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 6: The other is, can you tell guys to keep the

114
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 6: ball down because against this squad it'll be even worse

115
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 6: than Team Canada.

116
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: Right, keep it down on the zone. Man, the home

117
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 5: runs are flying.

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: No, it is, it is, and I'll say this that

119
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: it has the park here has played there. It's actually

120
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: played kind of big, the center field in some ways

121
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: where I think some pitchers got away with mistakes because

122
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: of their ability to at least locate the ball and

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: make make hitters hit it to the big part of

124
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: the park. So the way that it's played in Miami,

125
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: You're right, we have seen certainly the Dominican hitters have

126
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: made that ballpark look awfully small. And I think that

127
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways they have that home field advantage.

128
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: They've played there before they've got the ability to really,

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: I think, ease into what that hitting environment's going to be.

130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: And again, for basically every reason, I look at this

131
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 3: as being the Dominicans game to win because of the

132
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: way they've played, the foremance they're in, and the questions

133
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: that we're asking now about about tvusa's lineup. It's not

134
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: an issue of it is not I'll be clear about this.

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: It's not an issue of a lack of focus. It's

136
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: not an if you have a lack of caring, that's

137
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: not the problem. Right now. The Dominicans is just playing

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: better and TUSA has to find a way to some

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: of their best game for one night on Sunday, which

140
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: they could certainly do. It's just going to take a

141
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: little bit of a different at bat and a little

142
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: more consistent offense. One thing they haven't done a lot

143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: is is just add on runs by building rallies and

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: that type of connected offensive approach. We really haven't seen it.

145
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: It's interesting the last couple of days, their best at best,

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: their best performances have come from some of the hitters

147
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the lineup. The way that PCA

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: has played and we had Tarangus played the last couple

149
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: of games.

150
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Now, I got to ask you how to take here,

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: John Paul, because yes see, we're talking about something that

152
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: is a two week tournament.

153
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: In a nutshell, we don't have time to make friends.

154
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: And wait.

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper is hitting one fifty and he does not

156
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: look good at the plate. Cal Raley has not gotten

157
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: a hit in the WBC. Is there going to be changes?

158
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Mark Deurosa sticks with these guys. I mean, this is

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: why you're the manager of the team. What do you

160
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: expect on Sunday?

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: So the way I'd answer to that is, I think

162
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: the catching. The catching question is a straightforward, a straightforward one.

163
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: I think Will Smith is behind the plate. Uh, he

164
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: caught skeins the first time. What you mentioned about Roley's offense.

165
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: I think that's that's the easy answer. The more difficult

166
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: answer would be the Harper one, and I I would

167
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: have to check the numbers that Goldschmid has against Severino.

168
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: It would be it'd be a pretty bold move to

169
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 3: sit Bryce Harper in the semifinals with WBC. I don't

170
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: see it happening. I think Harper is here because he's

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: he's their guy and and he's not that far off

172
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: there was there was obviously one called strike he didn't

173
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: he did not agree with at all in his last

174
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: at bat. That might be some piece of the puzzle

175
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: here to where maybe he feels like he's getting closer

176
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 3: a little better look at the strike zone. I just

177
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: I don't think that you mentioned we could argue. We

178
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: could argue if you should. I don't think it will happen.

179
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 3: I'd be really surprised. Although I thought goldschmidts that bats

180
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: were fine against against Italy, and and maybe they see

181
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: his veteran presence as being something that would have value.

182
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: Love Paul Goldschmidt. I I just don't. I don't see

183
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 3: Harper getting that start. Maybe they bump them down the lineup,

184
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: maybe they move Terrang up higher, but I think Pca

185
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: is good at the bottom part. To flip it over,

186
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: Terrang might be the one guy that I considered moving

187
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: up higher. And you bump Bryce down a little bit,

188
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: but then have Smith catch. I think that Smith catching

189
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: is a clear choice for me here entering the semi final.

190
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 6: All right, two part question number one, cal Raley, is

191
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: it baseball karma that he's not dabbing up his friends

192
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 6: and teammates and it's coming back to haunt him at

193
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: the plate. And Part two, what was that ballpark like

194
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: after it would be game five to three? Did people

195
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 6: tighten up a little bit?

196
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it got pretty tense. I'll asto the second one. First,

197
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: he got pretty tense. There was a little it was

198
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: a little nervy. And again once Canada had men on

199
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: second and third after the pass ball and nobody out

200
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: with Naylor up, I thought they're in highest game. I mean,

201
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: we're gonna, We're gonna. We might still be playing right

202
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: now if nanlould have gotten a base hit. So to me,

203
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: I at that moment, I'll be honest, I've given the

204
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: tension in the ballpark, given the way the game had

205
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: been advancing, I'm a little surprised that they didn't tie it,

206
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, of course, it went pop out, strikeout, strikeout.

207
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: As to rally, my advice would be that maybe he

208
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: should just run across the field. You know, he said

209
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: he should run to center field when Julio's in the

210
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 3: field and just give him a big hug, and just

211
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: that would just totally slip the whole. He's gonna run out,

212
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: literally run out there like he's his best friend in

213
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: the world. He hasn't seen him in fifteen years, and

214
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: just like give him like the biggest hugs he's had

215
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: in his life. And then that's going to change all

216
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: the lot telling you now.

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: You want you want to talk about awkward And you know,

218
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: we got into this a little bit last week. This

219
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: is now the end of Clayton Kershaw's baseball career. Replaced

220
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: on the roster for the semi final. We knew this

221
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: was coming right Mark De Rosas said this, It's just

222
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: so odd to me, John Paul, that this is how

223
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: he goes out a guy of that stature, going out with, Yeah,

224
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to train all off season just to be

225
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: a guy, to be an arm and the close as

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: he came to playing in this was I'm gonna warm

227
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: up in the eighth inning of a previous game and

228
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: now I'm going to have a beer in the bullpen

229
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: because they're not going.

230
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: To use me. It's just certain guys, Hey.

231
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: When you want to keep playing more baseball, I get it,

232
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: But when you play at the level of Clayton Kersher,

233
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: the best left handed pitcher I've ever seen, it's just

234
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: it's just really odd to see him go out this way,

235
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: and now it's just gonna just walking off the field

236
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: at the end right here, and you throw a baseball

237
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: to a kid and just walked off the field, like

238
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's just odd to me to see.

239
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: This is right.

240
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: Well, I think that he probably and rightfully would consider

241
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: the appearance in the World Series to be to be

242
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: the end. Right That's that was the real I mean,

243
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: that was certainly a much more emotional experience than than this.

244
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: I agree it was a little anti climactic, to say

245
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: the very least in some ways. If this game had

246
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: been lopside of one way or the other, a ten

247
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: to three game, maybe there would have been a lane

248
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: to just get him in there and have him have

249
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: that moment and walk off the mound. But it didn't happen.

250
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: And you know, I spoke to him before the game,

251
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: and he was extremely at peace with everything. He didn't

252
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: He basically said, it's my last day on the active roster.

253
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: I'll be replaced on the active roster for the for

254
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: the final two games, and and he totally seemed tranquil

255
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: about the entire situation. So I agree, anti climactic, absolutely,

256
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: a little awkward, probably would I'd like to see him

257
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 3: pitch at some point in the journey. Yes. The WBC, though,

258
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: is is different when it comes to getting someone in

259
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: and getting someone to work. They've got to fulfill all

260
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: the obligations to the parent clubs of the players, et cetera.

261
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: The things that we talk about at the cernama An

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: all the time. And I just think that that that

263
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: those types of regulations made it difficult to have what

264
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: should have been. And it's not Mark Turosa's fault, it's

265
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: not Andy Pettitt's fault, it's not Clayton Kershaw's fault. It

266
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: just sometimes baseball gives us the perfect endings and sometimes

267
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: it doesn't, and in this case it didn't. But of

268
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: course I think Dodger fans feel like the last ending

269
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: that he had with them was the one that mattered,

270
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: and they're probably right.

271
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 6: All right, j B Tomorrow, Italy can the espresso fuelum past.

272
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that Paspentino has slept since he had

273
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: three shots of espresso. I mean, I'm not sure he slept.

274
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: He's having a great time that they can keep it going.

275
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, though, is a dangerous team and they they

276
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: really string hits together. Well, they don't have the name

277
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: brand lineup, but you saw the Arnaz walk off home

278
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: or what a great moment that was. Their bullpen is

279
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: really good. They've got a veteran starter in Seth Lugo.

280
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: So I look at that team and say they are

281
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: as dangerous as as anyone else who's left maybe out

282
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: outside of the Dominican and Japan, just in terms of

283
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: the way they're playing right now, the style of play

284
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: in terms of Puerto Rico. So I think it's gonna

285
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: be a great game. Today's game was tense and tight

286
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: at the end, obviously, but I think tomorrow's game is

287
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: going to be more of a more of a dramatic

288
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: back and forth track meet, if you will, where there's

289
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: a lot of things happening and some great catches athletic plays.

290
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: Italy just played so well and they've become the darlings

291
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: of this tournament. So I do think they have the

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: momentum on their side, and what a story it would

293
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: be if Italy finds their way in the semi final

294
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: for the first time ever at this event.

295
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Now, so John Paul, now, tell me what's your work

Speaker 3: going to sprint to the airport and hop on a

311
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: flight and go to Miami and we'll do the semis

312
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: of the finals. So I mean, I'm in this for

313
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: the duration, and there's no days off. I mean, I

314
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't want a day off of the gaming one. So

315
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: we're we're excited to be here and we got to

316
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: see this one to the end. I am here until

317
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: the end. I will and then it'll feel like it's

318
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: time for the off season to start. But then I'll

319
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: realize that the season hasn't even started yet, so certain

320
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: with me in about a week, like my body doesn't

321
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,360

Speaker 1: I got to the computer, which was like eight seconds

467
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: after this story broke.

468
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 4: Nope, it's already out there, people already, It's already there.

469
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: It's already there. Uh so it's a chan.

470
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: But as he said, you know, I tried to talk

471
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: to people that the announcers couldn't get it right. So

472
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: I just find and said, fine enough it's ets En

473
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: and I see this and I go, man, I can't.

474
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: Imagine how frustrating that would be. But I don't know

475
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: that all you wouldn't have to do.

476
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: I just think about this, especially the announcers, like, come on, man,

477
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: is like you go to the Clemson play by play guys,

478
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: and you you tell that, you tell the uh you know,

479
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: you tell the head coach or whoever he is is. Hey,

480
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: you know what, I need a minute with our play

481
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: by play guy at some point this week? Okay, why

482
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: because I wanted to get my name right? And all

483
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: you need to do is tell them and tell the

484
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: play back play my name.

485
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 4: Is a Chan.

486
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: This is how you say it. When I was it's

487
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: a Chan? Okay great? And then I gotta think it's

488
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: taken care of, right, because what once the play by

489
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: play guy said, that's how everybody would learn your name?

490
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: Right?

491
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Because how does when you see somebody new in college football,

492
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: college basketball or anywhere, right, like how you see you

493
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: see a name and you go, how do you pronounce this?

494
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: You go when you search their name and you search

495
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: a highlight right, and you say, okay, you want to

496
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: hear how the play by play guy says it. That

497
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: should be enough, right? What wouldn't that be enough to hear?

498
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: You tell the play by play guy to do it,

499
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: and after a couple of weeks people would stop saying

500
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: at ten and would call it h I gotta think

501
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: that that's how it would go if you if you

502
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: got play by play guys that you know, do what

503
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: you're you know, do your solid and make sure to

504
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: get your name right.

505
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: I gotta think that's how it would go. Either.

506
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 5: No, they just go and Travis to the end.

507
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: No, No, it's funny because at T N E, d N,

508
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 6: we we've heard those forever.

509
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 9: Right.

510
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 6: It's like Charad Taylor when he finally, after what a

511
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 6: decade in the NFL, goes, uh, you know, my name

513
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 5: And guess what.

514
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 6: That lasted for about four weeks before everybody said, I

515
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 6: that's too hard for me to remember. How many years

516

622
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 9: incredible lineup of the Dominican Republic A team that's five

623
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 9: and zero in the tournament after whipping South Korea ten

624
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 9: to nothing tonight, then the US one it's quarterfinal five

625
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 9: to three over Canadate. It was five to nothing in

626
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 9: the sixth Back to you, Thank you, Steve.

627
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 4: Though.

628
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Now look, we talked about this a little bit on

629
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Sunday Mark and Mark de Rosa mentioned this. Manager Team

630
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: USA was asked, Hey, what do you expect Sunny against

631
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: Dominican Republican And he said, Hey, one of the greatest

632
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: baseball games of all time.

633
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: Now, obviously we have to wait and see how that's

634
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: gonna go.

635
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: But right now, I don't know that it's not the

636
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: best matchup in a game that we have ever seen,

637
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: because you again, you look at the lineups of these

638
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: teams now, pitching departments starting pitching. United States is going

639
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: to have the advantage because they're gonna go with Paul Skeins.

640
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: But here's Team USA.

641
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt, Junior, Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Bregman, Roman,

642
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: Anthony cal Raley or more than likely Will Smith. Cal

643
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: Rally has not played well and Will Smith caught schemes

644
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: last time, Bryce Terraang Pete Crow Armstrong. They've been the

645
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: two best hitters on Team USA over the course of

646
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic so far. You know, we talked

647
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: with John Paul Morosi about this last week. He said, look,

648
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: going in, this is the best United States team, the

649
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: best lineup we've ever seen the United States have. On

650
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: the other side, the lineup might be even better. Fran

651
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: Ertatist Junior, Ketl Marte, Juan Soto Vlad Junior, Manny Machado, Caminero,

652
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez, Ramirez or Austin Well had a three run

653
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: homer today. This is an absolute monster of a lineup. Now,

654
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: pitching department the United States has the has the advantage

655
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: in starting pitching because of Skiens, But I don't know

656
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: that we've seen a game with this kind of talent

657
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: in it lineup wise ever.

658
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we've seen big matchups in baseball.

659
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: Who we've seen Dominican Republic playing games so far, but

660
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: this is the best United States lineup we've seen. This

661
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: Dominican republican Dominican Republic lineup. I mean, look, they've had

662
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: strong teams all the way through. I don't know if

663
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: they've had a team like this with MVP finalists up

664
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: and down the lineup like they're having. It's it's I really,

665
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've ever seen a matchup like

666
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: this in baseball this kind of talent. Yes, we've seen

667
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: in All Star games, but those games don't count because

668
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: their exhibition. This game is to get to the finals

669
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: of the WBC. This actually means stuff, it means something.

670
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: So that's why when I say, hey, a matchup like this, yeah,

671
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: because it's more important than an All Star game.

672
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 5: This time it counts.

673
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, we get ball skians becomes capped in America, come

674
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 6: out with an eagle on his shoulder for you hitches.

675
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 6: In the first Mark DeRozan facing the Dominican Republic, what

676
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 6: can we expect? An unreal environment, right, A ton of

677
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 6: respect for their team, ton of respect for Albert Poohols.

678
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 6: You know, he's an old teammate from two thousand and nine,

679
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 6: So yeah, I expect it to be like what are

680
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: the best games of all time? But yeah, those lineups,

681
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 6: I mean you just start reading those names and you

682
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 6: just sitting there going all right back of the baseball

683
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: card thirty five one hundred, forty, one hundred three to twenty,

684
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 6: you know, all all of these things that roll through. So,

685
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 6: I mean, this is this is one that certainly Fox

686
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 6: will be very excited to broadcast on Sunday night. A

687
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 6: lot of eyeballs. I know for some they're a little

688
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 6: slow getting into these events, but they're they're momentum builds

689
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: in this one over the next forty eight hours will

690
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 6: get a lot of run, kind of like we watched

691
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 6: in the Olympics when we talk about the hockey finals.

692
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 6: Same kind of idea here of all the heavyweights here

693
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 6: and certainly any baseball squad promoting the hell out of

694
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 6: their guys involvement.

695
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the reason you look at the the advantage

696
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: pitching wise, because it's not it's not been announced what

697
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic is going to do, but most likely

698
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be Louis Severino on Sunday, right, he

699
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: pitched in the against the Netherlands in the in the

700
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: in the early round, and so, okay, Severna was good

701
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: once upon a time, but now you know, he's a

702
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: guy that's you know, trying to hang on and he's

703
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: had it you know, a few okay years. But Severino

704
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: Paul Skeens that tilts hugely in the United States of favor.

705
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: Now you get to the bullpens, which it's going to

706
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: be there if if Skeens goes eighty pitches, which John

707
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Paul Morosi said, that might mitigate the bullpen, But if

708
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: they have to go to the bullpen early, then all

709
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: bets are off.

710
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 4: But that's the one place you could say right now.

711
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: The United States has the advantage because lineup wise, while

712
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: both teams are star studded, the Dominican Republic is hitting

713
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: and the United States is not. Right, you have you

714
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: have spots up and down the US lineup where they're

715
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: just not a Bryce Harper not hitting, Cal Rowley not

716
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: hitting I mean those are big things that those are

717
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: big holes in the lineup that you're expecting a guy

718
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: that had sixty home runs last year and Bryce Harper

719
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: hitting second. Yeah, Dominican Republic has a huge advantage there.

720
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: So they need Paul Skeins to come through. And they

721
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: got to make Severarino pay early in this game well.

722
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 6: And also for Paul Skeens, he works low in the zone.

723
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 6: He'll need to do that repeatedly because as we talked about,

724
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 6: the number of home runs and big fly opportunities by

725
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 6: opponents through this point for the US, absolutely unconscionable, right,

726
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,479
Speaker 6: just the hey not having the piece hits together, and no, no, no,

727
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 6: just Wade their home run is coming.

728
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 5: It's like watching the twenty seven Yankees.

729
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 4: Exit out about a Fresca exit swelling dome.

742
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: So week one of free agency in the books right now, Well,

743
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: continue to go this weekend. Still some big names left

744
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: out there that'll probably come off the board by Monday,

745
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: and of course next week we'll take a look back

746
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: who ast free agency?

747
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 4: Who didn't.

748
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: But a couple of the biggest names left on the

749
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: board are a little surprising right now, and number one

750
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: on the list, the only quarterback left Kirk Cousins. Right,

751
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: he was in the mix of everybody that was out there. Look,

752
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is out there, Kirk Cousins is out there.

753
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's gonna get released. Two is gonna get released.

754
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: These guys, where do they fit? Where do they fit?

755
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 4: Well?

756
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins sitting out there all by himself. Some reports

757
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: that a day ago, last twenty four hours, that potentially

758
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: Vegas is where he ends up and maybe he's a

759
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: bridge to uh Fernano Mendoza, or he just comes in

760
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: as a straight backup, which is probably more than likely

761
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: because you're drafting Fanano Mendoza. He's number one overall. He's

762
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna get all the reps. This is shows you that

763
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: of all the quarterbacks, the one quarterback there was no

764
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: fit for and no team had a desire to go

765
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: get was Kirk Cousins.

766
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: Right.

767
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean really, because there are so many teams that

768
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: needed bridge guys, that needed player and Kirk Cousins is

769
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: still sitting out there and there is not a starting

770
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: job out there for him. I don't know that there's

771
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: a bridge thing out there for him. It is if

772
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: he wants to go and back up somewhere and maybe

773
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders where he's up, and that'd be great because

774
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, Cousins cousins of Mendoza kind of have that

775
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: same little goofiness to them, and when when Fanana Mendoza smiles,

776
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like Kirk Cousins, so it almost

777
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: seems like it might be he here's Kirk Cousins mentoring

778
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: his younger brother as a quarterback of the Las Vegas

779
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: Raiders this.

780
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 6: Is borderline shaping up to be the best quarterback room

781
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 6: outside of this last year's giants.

782
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 5: Jamie, when you say so, Wilson.

783
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: When you say the best quarterback room, like what like

784
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: when you say best, what you mean by best?

785
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 6: I think, you know, for the purpose of show content

786
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 6: and our amusement, oh potential of having say a Hard

787
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 6: Knocks kind of inspired video or series of Mendoza and

788
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 6: Cousins together, don't you think it can end up like

789
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 6: a Beavis and butt Head kind of situation of the

790
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 6: two of them kind of with their own inside jokes,

791
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 6: chuckling at each other. I think I could get there

792
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 6: and trying to do the say the right thing, and

793
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 6: maybe he's got a little Harry Potter like nook. Hey, Kirk,

794
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 6: you gotta see my nook. It's pretty cool, like that

795
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 6: little trophy room that that Cousins had. And find out

796
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 6: they both shop in the same stores.

797
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, fighting on the rack.

798
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 6: For the last one of that same size. I mean,

799
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 6: there's a lot we could do. It's like a buddy comedy,

800
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 6: buddy cop comedy, I guess at this point. But yeah,

801
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 6: for Kirk Cousins, it's one of the two things you

802
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 6: either accept your fate. Recognize that you've lost out in

803
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 6: the game of musical chairs, and there's no starting jobs

804
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 6: still available unless one of these guys coming back off

805
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 6: injury is slated and has a setback. You know, even

806
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 6: though they just paid a billion dollars for Daniel Jones

807
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 6: in Indianapolis, if suddenly he's not good to go, okay,

808
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 6: break glass in case of emergency kind of thing. But

809
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 6: otherwise you're just gonna have to bude your time. You're

810
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 6: gonna have to be a backup or be willing to

811
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 6: just hang out with your kids and your wife for

812
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 6: a while longer and wait for the inevitable injury in

813
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 6: training camp and just keep your arm warmed up. So now,

814
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 6: the other player you at the top of the list

815
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 6: that is surprising he's not signed yet is Juwan Jennings

816
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 6: leaving San Francisco.

817
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: They're gonna leave him.

818
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a deal somewhere kind of you know,

819
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: someone that can do a lot of things, can play inside,

820
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: can play outside, He is tough, he played through a

821
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: lot of injuries last year. He can he's a big

822
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: red zone threat. But he is still on the market now.

823
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: A lot of wide receivers are still out there, are

824
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: a lot of older veteran receivers are still out there,

825
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: and Jennings is twenty nine, but surprising that he doesn't

826
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: have at least a two year deal somewhere. You know, hey,

827
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: come in because you know he showed that, Hey, I

828
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: can really be a weapon. And I got to think

829
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: at this point, Mike, if I say, Kirk Cousins probably

830
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna end up with the Raiders backing up for Nana Mendoza,

831
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: I would say, and this could be, This could be

832
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: where the Niners get really lucky. Is I wonder if

833
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: Jennings comes back with a one year deal for the

834
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: Niners and all of a sudden, now they're wide receiver room.

835
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: You exhale a little bit because Mike Evans and Ricky

836
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: Piersoll don't really strike fear and do a lot of

837
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: teams who'd have to stop. We don't have to coverages

838
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: towards either of them. But you throw Jennings in there,

839
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: who can do a lot of things suddenly, Now, okay,

840
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: now the Niners Wide Receiving Corps has a little bit

841
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: more talent. You can you can throw a bunch of

842
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: guys out there. I wonder if now This is gonna

843
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: be where the forty nine ers get lucky and they

844
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: wind up, you know, getting into Hey, we can welcome

845
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: him back for the next season.

846
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

847
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 6: According to the spot track spot Track, they estimate his

848
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 6: value nearly twenty three million dollars. And so you look

849
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 6: at that and what teams are able to absorb that

850
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 6: and can he truly become that guy Lood?

851
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

852
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 6: Fifty five catches nine touchdowns about six hundred and fifty yards,

853
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 6: so not game breaking, but can't occasionally hit the big play.

854
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 6: We know New England still in the in the marketplace

855
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 6: looking to augment their receiving room. And then the wildcard

856
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 6: in it all is whether you still see a domino

857
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 6: effect coming out of trades, if a guy's still move

858
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 6: come come draft time, right, whether it's aj Brown out

859
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 6: of Philadelphia or one of these other ancillary parts.

860
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 5: So curiosity, you go team him up with Malik Willis.

861
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Oh you get ready the tanking battle between the Dolphins

862
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: and Jets is go.

863
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 4: Hey, speaking of battles.

864
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we got word today of another big

865
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: quarterback battle.

866
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: We're gonna get this summer. We'll tell you who's gonna

867
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: win it next.

868
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 3: Fox
