Randy Johnson, 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:33.000 who wants won four consecutive cy Young Awards in the 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.479 history of awards. I mean, that's a long stretch to 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.720 win the same award, and it's and it's a big award, 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.959 It's it's the most important award a pitcher can win. 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:49.159 But in all of sports MVPs, how many times do 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:53.519 you have somebody win four consecutive awards like that? Now? 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.560 I think Greg Maddox won four consecutive cy youngs, one 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.520 with Chicago and then three with Atlanta, but win four 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.600 in a row normally, and as a voter former voter 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.720 in the NBA, you are looking for a reason to 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.600 vote for somebody else. You're like, Ah, that guy's won 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.399 it the last couple of times, let's vote for somebody else. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.640 He was so good that even if they tried to 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.640 bring in somebody else as a candidate that Randy Johnson 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.720 won four consecutive cy Youngs. It just doesn't happen that 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.000 often where you see somebody at that kind of level 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.840 and maintain that level, and then the voters continued to 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:34.759 vote for him. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.360 Yes, Pauline, Randy Johnson got his first cy Young in 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.320 ninety five at age thirty one. Then he had a 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.040 couple of nice years, but then at age thirty five, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.440 thirty six, thirty seven, thirty eight, he won four in 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.240 a row. Maddox had four in a row, like you said, 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.160 Roger Clemens has seven and he won them in three 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:52.960 different decades. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.520 Yeah, yike, Yeah, I've been under a cloud of suspicion there. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.480 Randy Johnson actually started his career his first year in 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.720 the pros. He was seven and thirteen. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.400 Yeah, he was seven feet thirteen inches too. You know, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.960 we had never seen anybody that height, you know, six ' ten. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.920 But you're delivering the ball, so sixty feet six inches. 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.040 But by the time he winds up he delivers, he's 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:23.160 thrown that ball at fifty feet and just and here's 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.800 another thing, and I want to ask him about this. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.919 It used to be a big deal where you brought 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.920 in a lefty to face a lefty? Okay, aren't we 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.240 past that that? You know, like, we don't go, oh, 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.240 it's a right hander against a right hander. And I 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.480 know that we grow up and you know there's more 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.440 familiarity facing a right handed pitcher. But aren't we to 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.160 the point where we don't go, boy, lefty on lefty? 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.959 Haven't we advanced enough where a left handed hitter doesn't go, oh, 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.280 my god, it's a left handed pitcher. I got to 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.320 ask him about that. Yes, is it possible? 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.560 Randy Johnson's all time underrated because of him? Is we 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.400 talk about his height and the bird and the pitching 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.359 with the john Crux stuff he had. He led the 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.960 league in strikeouts I got nine times. And he did 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.840 it at age forty and age twenty eight, and like 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.560 you said, zero cloud of suspicion, but he. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:17.520 Won the cy young. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.560 He led the American League in strikeouts four consecutive years. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.560 He just learned how to pitch later in his career 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.240 because when he was in Montreal, it was he was 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.680 nuke lelouche. If you're you know, a fan of Bull Durham. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.040 He could throw hard. He just didn't know where he 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.800 was throwing it, but to learn how to pitch. And 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.200 the fact that you would have guys who would openly 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.560 talk about not wanting to face Randy Johnson. You know, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.600 guys would you know, privately probably say I don't want 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:51.280 to face that guy. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.520 I'm not feeling that good today. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.440 Randy Johnson was so scary that you had guys who 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.880 openly admitted they did not want to face Randy Johnson. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:02.880 All right. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.720 Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.880 the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show. Football 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.960 coming up tonight, Vikings at the Rams. As I've spoken 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.480 about the last two days, I think there's a lot 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.800 more riding on this game for the Rams than just 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.039 a victory or a loss. Are you going to be 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.599 sellers if you lose this game? The Vikings are favored 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:25.479 by two and a half. Also, Syracuse in Pitt is 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:26.760 Pitt undefeated? 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:28.880 Yeah wow with those uniforms. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.240 Yeah, then you got NBA full slate of NBA openers 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.080 and load management is already an issue. I'm not sure 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.800 why the seventy six ers and Joe Ellenbiid said, hey, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.240 he's not going to play back to back games. 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.080 The NBA is looking into that. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.640 You want to have availability, like you can't lose the 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.360 trust of your audience where they go who's playing? 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:54.800 Wait are they going to be playing? 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.880 We brought this up six years ago and I think 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.960 some places have used this, and that is a star 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.880 player insurance, Like there should be insurance with your tickets. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.640 If you're going to buy let's say you're buying Nick 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.640 tickets and Lebron's coming to town and that's a Christmas gift, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.320 then all of a sudden Lebron's not going to play, 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.760 then there should be some There should be an opportunity 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.599 for you to get your money back or get a 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.360 credit for another game. You can go to that game 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.760 and we'll give you credit for another game. Whatever it is, 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.479 just because you know the audience, the fans want to 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.440 know who's playing. Kawhy's not going to play for who 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.599 knows how many games, so you know that. Here's Joe Ellenbiid. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.560 He didn't play in the opener, so it's not even 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.440 a back to back. I mean, did they have a 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.839 preseason game that he played in and then he like, 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.120 you're not available for the opener? Are you going to 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.880 be available for the next game because you didn't play 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.599 in the last game, and here is one of the 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.120 top five, top seven players in the game. And yes, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.840 I did propose this. I know that there were players 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.400 who were not happy with me when I proposed it 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.840 to the commissioner on the show, I said, you have 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.279 to have first. Thing I said is no more positions 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.680 for all NBA. That's not fair. And I called it 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.280 the Rudy Gobert rule because Rudy Gobert is not one 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.640 of the top fifteen players in the game. He shouldn't 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.599 be first team All NBA because you got to have 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.640 a center. I said to the commissioner, that's silly. And 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.200 the commissioner did change that. Now, maybe I had a 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.800 role in it, maybe I didn't. I did tell him 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.359 you have to have a certain number of games that 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:41.359 you must play to qualify for these awards, sixty five games. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.680 That means you're going to miss seventeen games. All right, 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.960 it's not an unheard of total, but I want the 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.760 best players to be on display. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:54.040 I mean, the. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.400 NFL has seventeen games. You know, unless they're injured, you're 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.360 seeing your star players. Baseball, it's one hundred and sixty 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.480 two It used to be a big deal when somebody 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.480 would say, oh, uh, we're gonna give him a day off, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.280 like they'd even announce it. We're gonna give such a 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.760 Johnny Bench has caught seven games in a row. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.240 We're gonna give him a day off. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:20.280 But he's gonna play first base in the NBA, Like 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.600 I'm are you surprised. I'm never surprised when somebody said, oh, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:24.920 you know, a healthy scratch. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:26.760 You know we're gonna give him a day off. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.240 But it's still you want to have availability, you want 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.120 to have the audience has to have trust in your product. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.240 And this is a real issue for Adam Silver. But 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.000 there's so much money at stake for the all NBA 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.880 that I mean, you've got to tough it out. There 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.600 are times when you maybe don't want to play. You're 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.040 banged up a little bit, Okay, like you know back 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.200 in the day you played. 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.560 Now it's like I don't have to what's the owner 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:57.960 going to do? 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.720 Like does Philadelphia pay Joe ellenbid half his salary? Is 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.160 he taking a salary cut because of this? And I 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:10.480 know he's had all of these injuries. Okay, now you're 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.960 gonna play half the games yeah, Mart. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.200 And I think for other teams, like say, if you're 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.600 Detroit Ortlanta, that might not sell out a lot. If 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.440 the Lakers are coming to town, you're like, hey, at 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.400 least we know we'll get one sellout this year. And 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.880 then you hear Lebron's not playing, like, yeah, god, we 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.720 were depending on that. That's like when Michael Jordan would 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.800 go to Vancouver one time of year, he knew how 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.280 important he was. He knew that place was gonna sell 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.160 it because he was there. And so if it's if 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:38.600 I'm one of those players, like you got to kind 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.320 of think about the away audience too, because it's one 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.840 time a year where they go across country to see you. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.080 And I always gave credit to Jordan because Jordan understood 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.080 that they're coming to see him. And he even talked 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.160 about how he'd get dressed up when he would walk 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.040 into the lobby in a hotel. He always wanted to 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.520 look great because he said that that might be the 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.199 only time you get to see him. He understood it. Now, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.360 not everybody does. Not everybody nobody else is wired the 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:11.240 way Mike was, but he did understand playing and wanting 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.840 to play. I could never be a healthy scratch. I 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.040 just there's no way I could just sit there and 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:22.959 watch a game. I just that'd be death. But having 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:27.440 these players and I know, okay, modern travel, like the 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:32.720 finest facilities, trainers, all of this stuff, and they play 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.960 less than the guys who had to fly commercial. The 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.920 guys who didn't have these luxuries. Now they might say, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.960 we didn't really have an option. Okay, they've taken advantage 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.360 of a loophole here, and it's unfortunate because the regular 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.320 season does not matter. There'll be games, matchups that you go, oh, 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.439 I want to watch that one, but it's not must 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.640 see TV because you don't know if somebody's going to 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:56.080 play or not. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.800 Yes, yeah, it feels like it's the It goes against 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.920 the competitive spirit that you have to have as an 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.080 elite athlete, is to be able to sit and say 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.280 I'm just going to take tonight off, even though I 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.120 know it's a business. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.520 I know there's, like. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.880 You said, all the travel and everything, but it feels 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.440 like you can't get to that same height without having 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.560 this crazy competitive side to you. And then all of 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120 a sudden that just evaporates for a day because you're like, ah. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.160 I'm just not going to do it today. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.439 But the NBA has made the season longer, so you 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.480 have more rest days in between games. Right, they haven't 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.160 added to their schedule. It's still eighty two games. I mean, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.040 the NFL was going to add yet another game to 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.240 the most violent sport. Baseball's still been one sixty two. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.720 There was talking maybe one fifty four, bringing it back 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.360 to what it used to be. But I just you know, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:54.360 having that insurance ticket insurance I think is important, and 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.240 you know, hopefully the league embraces that where you at 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.679 least allow the fan to have some kind of insurance 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.840 if a star player. But I don't know where the 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.280 cutoff is on who is this star player and who's not, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.040 because if Chris Middleton doesn't play for the Bucks, I'm sorry, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.560 you don't get your money back. 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:14.280 Yeah, pulling. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.600 There are a couple of different ticket portals that do this. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.240 Probably the best one that I've seen is called fan Sure, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.640 and you pick a game you're going to and you're 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.640 buying the tickets through them, and you could protect your 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.920 ticket up to one hundred percent of the value. So 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.400 let's say you've got a seventy six ers ticket and 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.200 you walk in that day, and you've insured it for 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.320 just a couple bucks extra. It's like a service fee. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.440 For one you could still attend the game. But if 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.040 you walk in and it's announced Joel Embiid is a scratch, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000 you get one hundred percent of your ticket price back, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.280 not the fee, and then you get to still watch 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.400 the game. They also have a list of players you 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.360 could buy Protection four and it's probably I would say 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.400 the thirty five forty best players. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.640 Oh, okay, that many, Yeah, it's it's. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.480 I'm looking at probably about thirty five. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:11:59.400 Yeah, Seaton. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.400 I know I'm going to sound super naive with all this, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.400 or maybe just like an idiot, but but part of 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.280 the problem with everything that we're talking about with load 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.400 management and all this stuff is that going to games 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.080 is just too damn expensive. It's way too much money. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.839 And if I paid fifty bucks for a ticket and 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.720 Lebron didn't show up, you're like, ah, man, that stinks, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.520 But I gotta pay two hundred and fifty dollars for 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.840 a ticket now, it's like it's my whole day. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.000 The parking is seventy five dollars and everything. 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.439 It's way too expensive and you're only drawing from the 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.080 same group of people that can actually afford to go. Rather, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:37.640 you're pricing out most of the population on almost every 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.800 major league sport, I could. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.480 Buy an eighty inch flat screen for what it would 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.640 cost for me to take four people to the game easily, 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.400 like park Easily, I could get an eighty inch flat 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.480 screen instead of going to the game. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.000 And those are bad seats. Yes, Ton, the TV would 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.480 even less. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.480 These days, TVs are really cheap. You probably a cheaper 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.040 to get the TV and to do that, thank you 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.200 to What other customer transaction exist besides sports and entertainment, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.320 like a Broadway show star that's sick and can't perform 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.240 that night, where we the customer accept something like that. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:13.720 If you have to pay in advance to go to 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.800 a restaurant or pick up a certain product, and then 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:17.800 when you get there they're like, oh, we don't have that, 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.800 that's his the second, third, or fourth best thing. It's like, no, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.600 I paid for that, and they're not going to give 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.360 you any money back. You just have to accept whatever's 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:25.240 left in the store. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.520 So I'm sorry, what's your point? So why do we 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:30.520 accept this as fans? 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.920 There's no other line of work or a transaction where 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.440 Oh yeah, I guess that's the way it goes. I 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.079 spent all that money and Lebron's not playing. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.200 Oh well, okay, I looked it up. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.000 If you go to a Broadway play and the understudy 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.079 is in it, you do not get any discount on 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.559 your ticket or your ticket back. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:44.880 Yeah. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.560 If you go on United Airlines and the backup pilot 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:48.520 is there that day. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.080 You don't get it.
