Speaker 1: Oh, here we go. It is a Tuesday. Can we

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: top yesterday show? Glad We'll give it a try. The Herd,

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Hierarchy and Nick Wright in one hour from now, another

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: iconic World Series moment at Dodger Stadium on Fox Sports.

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: It is great to have you in today. I know

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: some of you are bleary eyed. I know we are

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: here in Chicago. Uh, what a wild night. J Mack,

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: you're in Los Angeles. It's a remarkable the people that

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: stayed at the game because they had an hour and

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: a half drive home. They're not going to be many

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: all time that are like that. So let's not waste

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: any time. Any World Series game that goes eighteen innings

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: can be won and lost several times, wasted and delivered moments.

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays stranded nineteen runners. The Dodger stranded eighteen runners.

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Both of these teams had opportunities much earlier in the game.

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: And it was not a Hollywood blockbuster movie. It was

26
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: more like an eight part Netflix special, six hours, six

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: hundred pitches plus. But it was a perfect representation of

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: what makes the Dodgers great. Yes, there is o Tawny

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: mj plus, he's absolutely unbelievable and we know that. But

30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you have Tommy Edmond making great defensive plays. That's what

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond does all the time. You had four scoreless

32
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: innings from Will Klein. He was pitching for the Tacoma Rainiers.

33
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: That's near where I grew up. He had a seven

34
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: ERA for them. Every iconic Dodger moment, especially at Dodger Stadium,

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: it's not just about the money. There's always a Will cline.

36
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: He threw sixty six pitches in September. He threw seventy

37
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: two last night against the Blue Jays, easily the best

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: American League team, and only surrendered a hit in four innings.

39
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Will Klein, still a young guy, released three times this year.

40
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: They asked him to go four and he just kept

41
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: with that. Red Beard going out there and getting people out.

42
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: They needed Clayton Kershaw for a batter. Layton Kershaw delivered

43
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: so and then, of course, of course it's the Dodger.

44
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: So it goes without saying that Freddie Freeman would have

45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: a walk off. But there were so many different Dodgers

46
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: that mattered. I mean, how fitting is it that Kershaw

47
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: they need an out? He gets it. Yes, it centers

48
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: around o Tawi. Listen to this. Otani hasn't made an out.

49
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: He hasn't made an out at Dodger Stadium in close

50
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: to two weeks. Seven for seven with six walks in

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: roughly two weeks, all extra base hits. We are lucky

52
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: to be witness to show. Hey, he is officially in

53
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: the sports world the show first player to have multiple

54
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: walks and multiple home runs in the same World Series game.

55
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: You have to go back to Yogi Barratt in the

56
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: fifties with the Yankees. Oh did I mention Otani is

57
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: starting tonight and we'll be throwing ninety nine miles an hour,

58
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: seventeen hours after he got on base nine times. Wasn't

59
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: it just last week that Otawni had the greatest baseball

60
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: game ever played. I'm losing track. It was show Hey

61
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: O Tawny all night long, of course, until the bottom

62
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: of the eighteenth eighteenth inning, when who else Freddie Freeman

63
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: closed the door.

64
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Fuman sends a five doll as center field bar. Show's

65
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: going back before the Strakes big take play them has

66
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: ended up. It's a rapaid hero with the last word

67
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: turn a game free classic.

68
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean that that is goosebumps.

69
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of people leaving tip of

70
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: the cap to Dodger fans. Eighteen innings ends at midnight,

71
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: much later where I'm sitting this morning. But I said

72
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: before the series Dodgers in six. Two best teams I

73
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: believe are the Jays. Now they've got an injury to overcome,

74
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much gas they have. The

75
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers got very lucky with Yoshi's complete game. Their bullpen

76
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: was rested. Tonight it'll be show Heyo TWI think about

77
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: this show Hey O Tani seven for seven, six walks

78
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: and his last thirteen plate appearances will now pitch tonight.

79
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: And he's doing that.

80
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: Otani's doing that in a sport where everybody throws ninety

81
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: eight plus. I mean he's Patrick Mahomes and Miles Garrett

82
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: in one person.

83
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: But it was more than Freeman, more than o Tawni.

84
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: It was the out by Kershaw, the great defense it

85
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: plays by Tommy Edmund. It was Will Kline. There's always

86
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: a Will clinb for the Dodgers. Tria, a pitcher in Tacoma,

87
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: couldn't get people out there, four scoreless innings, biggest moment

88
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: of his life, still in his mid twenties.

89
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: It was a game.

90
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: These two teams played uniquely, the best two teams, and

91
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: here's Dave Roberts after.

92
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 5: You know, that could go down as one of the

93
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: greatest games of all time, or you know, it was

94
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 5: ugly there for a while there, you know, but you know,

95
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: it's one of those things that I do believe that

96
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: the two best teams in baseball are playing in this

97
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: series and the two toughest teams. There's a lot of

98
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 5: character right there. And you know, you saw what Laward did,

99
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 5: You saw Will Klein did. We had you know, Henriquez,

100
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: who was in a ball last year, he's pitching, he

101
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 5: was Inningsrol Bleski and obviously Freddie being Freddie. It took

102
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: everybody on the active roster to win one baseball game,

103
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 5: and it's something special.

104
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: What's really remarkable about the Dodgers, and I think about

105
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: this all the time, is that you know how they say,

106
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: if you like playing basketball, you don't have to be

107
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: an NBA player a college player. But if you like

108
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: playing basketball and you go to the YMCA and you

109
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: play against a bunch of guys that are better than you,

110
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: it will raise your game. You like, play better than

111
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: you normally do. Right, There's something about the way we

112
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: are wired. That's what it is with the Dodgers. You

113
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: put these single A guys, you put Will Kleine in,

114
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: You put these guys around Freeman and Bets and Otani

115
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: and Glass now and everybody rises to the moment. It's

116
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: not just the money. The Yankees and Mets have a

117
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's not just that. And the other

118
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: thing that really struck me last night watching this. Otani

119
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: was doing this with the Angels, he just wasn't doing

120
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: it in October is that if you are a great

121
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: player and sometimes fans are like, well, I mean they

122
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: all go to the Yankee, so they all go to

123
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Otani deserved to be a Dodger. I said

124
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: it when he signed, and I'll say it again. He's

125
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: simply too great not to be on the stage in October.

126
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: He is not only the best baseball player ever, I'm

127
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: not sure who's second. Honestly, I think Mookie Betts is

128
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the second most talented baseball player on the earth. Can

129
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: do outfield, can do shortstoff, could lead off, could hit third,

130
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: could hit fourth. I mean getting on base nine times.

131
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: You know, in basketball you say six for six, everybody

132
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: knows what you're talking about.

133
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: MJ six for six. That's MJ.

134
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Lebron's great all time leading score. He doesn't have a number.

135
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Gretzky doesn't have a number. Otani got on

136
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: base nine times. That's his number. Nobody else could do that.

137
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: All right, There was kind of a boring football game

138
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: last night. I won't spend too much time on it,

139
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: but it is the best team right now in the

140
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: world of Kansas City Chiefs, who had kind of a

141
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: B minus C plus performance first two possessions, two interceptions.

142
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: They're still finding their way. Here's the scary thing, though,

143
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: six five weeks ago we were saying, what does.

144
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: Kansas City do well?

145
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm watching last night against the Commanders in a blowout win,

146
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, what don't they do well? They have

147
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: more thirty point games and double digit wins right now

148
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: than all of last year, and we're at the halfway point.

149
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: So they haven't been this deep offensively since twenty twenty two.

150
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Four hundred yards three times in the last month. Rashi

151
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: Rice is clearly clearly a number one, Xavier Worthy clever

152
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: number two, Juju Smith Schuster a perfect number three, and

153
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce's not done. They have not punted in the

154
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: first half of their last three games. Their defense is

155
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: number two in the league. So and the scary thing

156
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: is they're missing two offensive linemen, so they're not quite

157
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: right yet. They're just not quite buttoned up on the front.

158
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: But I said this two weeks ago, I said it

159
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: last week, and I'll say it again. I think Kansas

160
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: City is a touchdown better than the second best team

161
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: in the league. And I still think this morning. They're

162
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: finding their way. But they haven't had this kind of offense,

163
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: these kind of weapons, this kind of depth since like

164
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. And I'm not even getting to the defense.

165
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't even have to worry. Six weeks ago. We're

166
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: like their special teams aren't as good. They don't get

167
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: a consistent pass rush. This is what great coaching does.

168
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Over the course of one, two, three, four, five weeks.

169
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: You just close up the weaknesses, build slowly on the straints.

170
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Everything seems to work. Here's Patrick Mahomes after another win.

171
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I know the records, none is good, but

172
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 6: it's a lot more fun just when everybody's kind of

173
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 6: going out there and making stuff happen. But I think

174
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 6: we're getting better and better. You know, we lost some

175
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 6: tough games early that we had won in previous years.

176
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 6: But it's not like anyone he hung their head. They

177
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 6: they just continue to get better and better. And that's

178
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 6: all we have to do is is push forward and

179
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 6: whenever the offense to defense and the special team's rowing it,

180
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 6: it's fun to play football.

181
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey eight catches, Isaiah Pacheco got significant carries twelve

182
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: averaged about four yards of Carrie Mahomes is moving well.

183
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: O line still missing pieces. But this is what I said.

184
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: When they beat Baltimore. Everybody said, oh, the Ravens are

185
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: beat up. It's like now, it's more than that. It's

186
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: more than that. They've got a lot of depth and

187
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: they are humming. And I thought it was a B

188
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: minus C plus performance for most of it, and they

189
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: still crush the Commanders. So J Mack, before we started

190
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: the show today, you and I were say, I don't

191
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: know if I could have stayed for eighteen innings at

192
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, but I think you were getting so many

193
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean that game could have ended several I mean

194
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: number warning track fly balls multiple times. It took some

195
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: great defensive plays. My question today is if you are

196
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: a road team. So the Dodgers' bullpen was rested. You know,

197
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: they spent three hundred and thirty five million for Yoshi.

198
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: He's been worth every penny because that complete game in

199
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Game two, you had a bullpen that was rested.

200
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: You know.

201
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays, I don't know what they have left.

202
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna need seven and a half, seven and two

203
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: third starting pitching in tonight. They I don't know what

204
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They lose a star player, their bullpens depleted.

205
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: The Dodgers would love Otani to go six to seven tonight,

206
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: but I think they could survive if he didn't. So,

207
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, if you win, if you win Game three

208
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: of the World series. The numbers tell you about a

209
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: seventy percent chance of winning the series, but that's just

210
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: not a Game three that was incredibly taxing, especially on

211
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: the road team. I don't know if the Blue Jays,

212
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what's left in the tank will find out.

213
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we got a baseball guest coming on later.

214
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 7: I would look just mentally, what does a game like

215
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 7: that do you know? Like, I mean, you clearly don't

216
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 7: get home until two in the morning out here, right

217
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 7: you're on a high or you're super low if you're

218
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays. I don't know mentally what that does

219
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 7: for these guys because now you gotta face Otani on

220
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 7: the mound, and we know how good he is, Like

221
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 7: feels like a big, big edge to the Dodgers.

222
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple hours, Derek Jeter will stop by our show.

Speaker 8: we go the hed hierarchy on a Tuesday.

238
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: Heard Hierarchy time.

239
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: Now go the top ten NFL teams according to College

240
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: Number ten.

241
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Well, the Buffalo Bills are five to zero when James

242
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: Cook rushes for one hundred yards. A rush for one

243
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: hundred yards, Josh Allen only had to throw the ball

244
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: nineteen times. I don't think they're very good against the run.

245
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: Their pass defense is fine, but they're a very good team.

246
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a long season. I like their on line, their

247
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: run game, Josh Allen. They could probably use another receiving

248
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: piece against the better defenses like Kansas City. But they're

249
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: back in the top ten. Number ten, number nine, New

250
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: England beat them all. Put New England nine. You know,

251
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: New England is the only team since the fifties first

252
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: eight games they haven't allowed a running back fifty plus yards,

253
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: so Vrabel made him tougher better against the run. And

254
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: let's just be totally frank here, Drake may looks like

255
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: a top six to seven quarterback in the league. He

256
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: may not be, but he's completing seventy five percent of

257
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: his throws and his passer ratings one nineteen, so the

258
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: numbers say he is. Again, I think they need another weapon.

259
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I like the running back room. They're good enough Hunter

260
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Henry at tight end, but this is about coaching and

261
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: an exploding young star at quarterback. Don't think they're a

262
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: super Bowl team, but I have him at nine.

263
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: Number eight.

264
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Broncos are a little inconsistent for me. I do think

265
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is coaching Boone Nicks. He wants him to

266
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field more and sometimes it

267
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: gets ugly.

268
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: But here's the numbers you have to think of.

269
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: This team is allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL

270
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and is also has ten more sacks than anybody in

271
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: the NFL that travels. Denver's not going anywhere. It's why

272
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: I think they're one of the few teams that matches

273
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: up with Kansas City. You can't get the Boone Knicks

274
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: and they get to your quarterback Denver at eight.

275
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: Number seven, Bucks are all beat up.

276
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: I put them at seven mostly because they have a

277
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback in bo Nicks as a kid. They're all

278
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: beat up offensively, but they are still one t plus

279
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: yards down the field. Baker's the best quarterback in the league.

280
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: They have been out gained in four straight games, so

281
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: there's a little fools gold when they get into these

282
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: winning streaks.

283
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: They're not pretty.

284
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: They're all banged up, but I think we all acknowledge

285
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: at number seven fields.

286
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: About right number six the Rams.

287
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: They went and got a corner from Tennessee. I may

288
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: have them a little low. Highest overall great and highest

289
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: graded offense in the NFL according to PFF. Now they

290
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: have one of the last pocket quarterbacks, so if you

291
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: can get to Matt Stafford, that's the key.

292
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: And their O line is good. I don't think it's great.

293
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: They lead the.

294
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: NFL in big pass plays. Even when Puca was gone.

295
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: They brought in a fourth tight end, smart coach, great quarterback.

296
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: They don't move the pocket a ton, so sometimes Stafford

297
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: if protection pro pass protection regresses that he can feel

298
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: a little bit like a sitting duck. But they're allowing

299
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: an NFL low ten touchdowns through the season, so it's

300
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: just hard to get into the end zone against the Rams.

301
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I have them at six number five the Lions again,

302
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: a pocket quarterback. Golf can be a sitting duck at times.

303
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: I think the Rams and the Lions have very very

304
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: good rosters. I think the Lions have better offensive personnel.

305
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: The Rams have better defensive personnel. For their five wins

306
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: have come by double digits. They are really special at home,

307
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: they're okay on the road, and by the way, their

308
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: schedule is pretty weak going forward for the next month,

309
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: so they'll keep posting w's Number four Green Bay Jordan Love, folks,

310
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that he's ascending. He's a

311
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: star arm mobility talent, and their defense allowed the fewest

312
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: big plays this season. They're just really well coached and

313
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: really well run everywhere. They're still really young, they're still

314
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: figuring some things out. They still have really clunky halves

315
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: of offensive football. But we got to get over the

316
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Love is rising and Jordan Love is ascending. No not,

317
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: he's top five to six, dude. Jordan Love's great period

318
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: and the sentence. Number three I don't know what the

319
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: heck to do with the Colts only lost to the

320
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Rams and they outplayed them at so far, and they've

321
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: gotten better since then, maybe by a touchdown. I mean,

322
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: I think teams now are quitting against them. They are

323
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: so physically dominant. It's the best offensive line along with Detroit.

324
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: I've seen they're mashing people. They're just dominating people. Pittman

325
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: and Pears and Warren and Jonathan Taylor. You have to

326
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: sign Daniel Jones to an extension. I don't know if

327
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: they're the third best team, but all the numbers tell

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: you they're washing people. It's like physically they're just stepping

329
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: on people. I'll put them at three for now. Number

330
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: two Philadelphia has got more big game experience. AJ Brown

331
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: didn't play shocker best performance of the year. I think

332
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia gets a not over Indy because they've got more

333
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: guys that have played in big games, and as we

334
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: get closer to Thanksgiving, that stuff matters.

335
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: So they're six and zero.

336
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: When Saquon Barkley gets fifteen plus touches, I have a

337
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: recommendation give Saquon Barkley fifteen plus touches.

338
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: Philiate two.

339
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Number one, I don't even think Kansas City played that

340
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: great last night. I thought it was a B minus

341
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: C plus performance and they still won by three touchdowns.

342
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: I've said this a few weeks ago. They haven't had

343
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: this kind of offensive talent. Rashi Rice Clear number one, Worthy, Clever,

344
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: number two, Juju perfect three, Travis Kelcey Gray excellent, tight

345
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: end production, O line still missing people, but again one

346
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons. I have Casey one in Philly two

347
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: big game experience. That stuff matters on fourth down, that

348
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: stuff matters in the red zone. I have Seattle at

349
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: eleven the Chargers at twelve.

350
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 4: Again. I don't know what in the world.

351
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: To do with the Colt. I don't see him in

352
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Be sure to catch live editions of

353
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: The Herd weekdays and Noone Eastern nin am Pacific on

354
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio FS one and the iHeartRadio app.

355
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's the players, the fans, and even the broadcasters

356
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: are running on fumes.

357
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: Eighteen innings.

358
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: A guy who's been around iconic moments his whole life,

359
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter, five time World Series Champ, fourteen time All Star.

360
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: That was crazy. You know, it's really interesting.

361
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: I made this point about you several times over the

362
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: last ten years that even great baseball players, their numbers

363
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: often go down in the postseason facing better pitching. It's

364
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: harder yours didn't you were the same guy. So Freddie

365
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: Freeman's got that ability to just he's Freddie Freeman in

366
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta in la regular season? Is there a trick to it?

367
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: Because you're facing better pitching, you're in high leverage situations.

368
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: I mean, the crowd's on you.

369
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: How did you like just you were just the same

370
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter, I feel that with Freeman.

371
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 4: Is there a secret way to do it?

372
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 9: I don't know if there's a secret way to do it, Colin.

373
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 10: I think it's more of just approaching every game like

374
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 10: it's a regular season game. You know, you have to

375
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 10: pride yourself on consistency, and it's not like you show

376
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 10: up in a World Series against say, oh my goodness,

377
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 10: all of a sudden, now I'm playing in a World Series.

378
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 9: Let me try to do more. You know.

379
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 10: Freddy's an unbelievable hitter, you know, And I guess the

380
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 10: best thing I can say about Freddie is I'm more

381
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 10: surprised when he doesn't come through as opposed of when

382
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 10: he does. Because you've seen him do it so much

383
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 10: over and over and over regular season, postseason, it doesn't matter,

384
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 10: and he does. He's the same person. You know, he's

385
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 10: got the same demeanor. You know, he's had twenty five

386
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 10: at bats last night, whether he got out or he

387
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 10: hit a home run. I mean, it's the same approach

388
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 10: when he's in the box. And that's what I appreciate

389
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 10: about Freddy.

390
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, Derek, your great Yankee teams had this ability

391
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: to take a really good player, like a Scott Brocius,

392
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: good player and rise to be a star in the moment.

393
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: You know, there was Pasada and you and Mariano, and

394
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, there was a core four or five guys,

395
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame guys, and then there were good guys

396
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: that got great in moments. We Will Klein was at

397
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: Tacoma with a seven ERA and last night he goes

398
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: four innings. And I make this argument it's almost like

399
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: when you are a good athlete, but you're around great athletes,

400
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: you do rise.

401
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: And there were guys those Yankee teams.

402
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm watching Will Klein and I'm on the internet,

403
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like.

404
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: Who's Will Climb?

405
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: What do you make of a guy that at Triple

406
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: A released multiple times doing that. Do you do have

407
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: you seen that guy's rise in the moment?

408
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 9: A hundred percent?

409
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 10: How about how about Will Clin though I mean he

410
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 10: wasn't even on the roster. He's in Arizona for the

411
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 10: last few weeks, never pitched this many innings before in

412
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 10: his career. He's out there on the mound and he

413
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 10: does what he does in a World Series game, pivotal

414
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 10: World Series game. So yeah, I know, I know what

415
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 10: you're saying, Colin. A lot of times, you know, when

416
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 10: you're with a group that has had a lot of

417
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 10: experience and a lot of success, like the Los Angeles Dodgers,

418
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 10: you know that you don't have to do too much yourself.

419
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 10: You just want to play your part and you want

420
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 10: to do your job. You know, you don't put everything

421
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 10: on your own shoulders. And I think when you think

422
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 10: small like that, good things happen. So we've had players,

423
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 10: you know, like you mentioned, that may have not had

424
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 10: too much success with other teams, and then they come

425
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 10: and they join our our group, and then all of

426
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 10: a sudden, you see him come up with these big

427
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 10: moments because they know that. Look, I'm surrounded by people

428
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 10: who are professional and consistent and get the job done. Therefore,

429
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 10: all I have to do is play my small part.

430
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 10: But let me say this, he played more than a

431
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 10: small part last night. I mean that was that was

432
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 10: fun to watch. Oh so you got you got Dodgers

433
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 10: fans googling will Climb all morning today.

434
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. During the game, I'm like, who is?

435
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: And I saw it. I grew up by Tacoma. I'm

436
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: like the coma Rainiers. That's why I was a kid.

437
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: Otani's now going to pitch. And you know the amazing

438
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: thing about Otani, Well you can see the gifts, right.

439
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't think sometimes people understand how emotionally draining pitching is, right,

440
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: Like it's it's the focus. I mean that you go

441
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: to the laptop, it's like, what's this guy?

442
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 7: Like?

443
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: What's this guy here?

444
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: And when you watch Otani, are you more blown away

445
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: by the stuff of the plate or the pitching?

446
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 9: Absolutely both.

447
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 10: Look, I mean starting pitchers, you pitch every fifth day

448
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 10: for a reason, Right, you have four days off because

449
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 10: you have to go through your routine. You have to

450
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 10: get your body ready. You got you to get your

451
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 10: arm in shape. And for him to be able to look,

452
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 10: I mean he's arguably the best offensive player in baseball,

453
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 10: along with with Aaron Judge and everyone seeing Vladimir Guerrero.

454
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 10: So you can make a case for him being the

455
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 10: best offensive player and pitching wise. I mean, what he's

456
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 10: been able to do. If you just take away everything offensively,

457
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 10: you know he could be the best pitcher in the game.

458
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 10: But then to have him do both, I can't. I

459
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 10: don't get it. I don't even know how to answer

460
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 10: the question. But it's like he's we're joking about it

461
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 10: last night. It's like he's the six foot two little

462
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 10: leaguer that's twelve years old that absolutely dominates in little

463
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 10: league and he's doing at the major league level.

464
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. I like starting pick.

465
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: My theory has always been, does it could be football

466
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: or basketball or baseball, end of the game's biggest moments.

467
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: Have your best players nothing against bullpens. I want my starter.

468
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: I want Garrett Cole. I don't care if it was

469
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Verlander in his prime, Yoshi, I don't want a bullpen.

470
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: Baseball's changed. It's a bullpen sport. Do you like it?

471
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: I like my guy, I like a guys and a moments.

472
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: What do you make of the explosion of bullpens and

473
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: a batter an inning.

474
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: What do you make of it?

475
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 9: I think it's hard.

476
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 10: Look, the Dodgers showed it last season because they pretty

477
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 10: much rode their bullpen to a championship. But that's hard

478
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 10: to do, especially when you start playing these long series,

479
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 10: because the more times you see the bullpen, the better

480
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 10: you're going to be offensively. I think this type of

481
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 10: baseball that the Dodgers are playing right now, eyeing on

482
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 10: their starters, you know, this is sort of a throwback

483
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 10: to when you know, we had Clemmons and we had

484
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 10: Pettit and Mussina and Cci, guys that would go out

485
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 10: there and they were expected to throw seven eight innings

486
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 10: and then you go to Mariano and it's game over.

487
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 10: It is I really enjoy watching this Dodgers team. I

488
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 10: was joking with with Dave Roberts last night and I said,

489
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 10: you look younger. He looks younger because he just sits

490
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 10: back and he relaxes, and he watches his starters and

491
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 10: there's a couple moves with an exception of last night

492
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 10: that was completely a different type of game. But you

493
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 10: sit back, you rely on your starters, and it's fun

494
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,239
Speaker 10: to watch. But the Dodgers are peaking. They've peaked at

495
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 10: the right time from you know, a health standpoint and

496
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 10: from a pitching standpoint, and it really is a throwback.

497
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: I thought baseball was at its best and I was

498
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: working for another company. It was Red Sox Yankees, and

499
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: I used to say, is there was something about old

500
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium is that it was it moved. It was

501
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: almost like a bridge. It moved a little bit when

502
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: it got just it felt different. But it was also

503
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: the players. Is that the Dodgers now off a championship,

504
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: Toronto now backs against the wall. I really think with

505
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: the Springer injury and exhausting their bullpen, I'm like, I

506
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know if Toronto can come back. But I also

507
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: think there is an advantage having been in games like this,

508
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: when you would be with the Yankees and you'd play

509
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: a really talented team and it was one of those

510
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: games that you just won, an ext r inning game

511
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: or a highly dramatic game at Yankee Stadium. You won,

512
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: You go home, you sleep, you wake up. Did you

513
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: feel like driving to the ballpark the next day, did

514
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: you feel like.

515
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: This is an edge?

516
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: This is what being a Yankee is because I honestly,

517
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: after that game, I think I think last year's Dodgers

518
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: this year's I don't know if Toronto's got anything left.

519
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 3: Do you.

520
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 9: Well, I'd be very careful to count them out.

521
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 10: You know, Toronto's had their backs against the wall from

522
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 10: you know, a majority of the season. No one thought

523
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 10: they'd win the AO Leaset, no one thought they'd get

524
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 10: to the World Series. They have a very very talented

525
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 10: group that they've overcome adversity. Look, I said it before,

526
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 10: I think the Dodgers have the best team in baseball.

527
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 10: I think they're they're playing well at the right time,

528
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 10: and quite frankly, I think they can play better than

529
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 10: they are right now. And it just goes to show

530
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 10: you how good they are and how balanced they are.

531
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 10: But you know, you play a game like last night,

532
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 10: it's one of those games. If you lose, it's tough, man,

533
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 10: it's a tough pill to swallow because you know, you

534
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 10: always look back and say, wow, we had an opportunity

535
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 10: and this could have changed the series. So we'll see

536
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 10: how Toronto bounces back. But you know, they've been doing

537
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 10: it all year.

538
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

539
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: The one of the things I remember years and years

540
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: ago somebody asked you you were in a slump, and

541
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: you said, you said, man, I don't overthink it.

542
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: I just go in tomorrow. I want to hit the

543
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 4: ball hard. I'm gonna go up and just hit it hard.

544
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh, Tawny, he couldn't hit against Milwaukee like he was

545
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: struggling until that one profound game. And there are different

546
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: guys at different times in the postseason that get into slumps.

547
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: How do you compartmentalize in the World Series or an

548
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: ALCS If last night you left five runners on last night,

549
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, Freddie Freeman the other day on a pop

550
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: up made a mistake. It's like, man, you gotta forget

551
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: about that. You got to be dialed in. Did you

552
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: find it easier or harder in the postseason the World

553
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: Series to compartmentalize the moment.

554
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 4: You draw the caller after two strikeouts.

555
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 10: I've always thought it was easier, you know, because when

556
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 10: you get to the playoffs, only one thing matters. Only

557
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 10: one thing matters every pitch, every that every situation, you

558
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 10: have a chance to help the team win. So you

559
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 10: don't ever get in the box thinking about what's my

560
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 10: average this series? It's what can I do in this

561
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 10: particular moment. So I always that's why I love playing

562
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 10: in the postseason. I mean, I hit a home run

563
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 10: in two thousand and one, the Mister November home run,

564
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 10: and I think I had one hit in the World

565
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 10: Series is up until that point, but no one remembers

566
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 10: that because every moment you come up, you have a

567
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 10: chance to do something. So I always found that it

568
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 10: was easier. And I think if you put that pressure

569
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 10: on yourself in terms of you know, I haven't done

570
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 10: this or I haven't done that, that's one of it's

571
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 10: sort of snowballs. But if your only focus is each

572
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 10: individual pitch, each at bat, each game, I think it

573
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 10: makes it a little bit easier.

574
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Do you know what you hit in the World Series.

575
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: It's insane. This is insane.

576
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 9: Oh I know, No.

577
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Three twenty one. That's an insane batting average in the

578
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: World Series because.

579
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 9: You're facing it was fun.

580
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, those are those are the you know,

581
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 10: that's what you dream of, You dream of playing in

582
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 10: the World Series. You know, this is what it's all all.

583
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 10: This is what fun is about. And I mean this

584
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 10: is what you when you're in Little League. You you

585
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 10: sit down and you're in the backyard and you're dreaming

586
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 10: that you're up in the World Series.

587
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 9: So look, I was. Fortunately I played in a lot

588
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 9: of World series.

589
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 10: I played in seven World series, man, So you know,

590
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 10: I've had a lot of it bad, but I just

591
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 10: love it. If there's one thing I do miss, I

592
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 10: don't miss playing the game.

593
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 9: I don't.

594
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 10: There hasn't been a day since i've retired where I've

595
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 10: missed playing the game. But if you kid, if I

596
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 10: could wake up and play in a World series, I'd

597
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 10: do it.

598
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 4: You know.

599
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: I hope you're gonna get it. Are you gonna get

600
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: a nap in here before the ballpark? You don't have

601
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: to play short tonight.

602
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 10: I'm gonna try, man, I have no voice. We're gonna

603
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 10: see what happens. I'm just the only thing I'm hoping

604
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 10: for is nine innings. That's all I can do today?

605
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: So am I actullently? So am I?

606
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

607
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 9: Right?

608
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: All right? Great seeing you, Derek?

609
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 9: You Someboddy appreciate it, all.

610
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: Right, the great Derek Jeter. Yeah, that's okay. We're all

611
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 4: rooting for nine innings. That's crazy.

612
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: That is when you three twenty What was Derek's career

613
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: average about three h nine three ten to hit better

614
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: in a World Series, Like I.

615
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 4: Think some guys are just built for it. I think

616
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman.

617
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: It's like Derek Jeter said, you're surprised when he doesn't

618
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: deliver what two men on like, some guys are just.

619
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 4: Built for it.

620
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: Some guys, I mean, I always felt Michael Jordan a

621
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: free throw line.

622
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 4: So I was close. Jerrek Jeters career averages three ten,

623
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 4: he had better than that in the World Series. That something.

624
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: Jmack with a news turn on the news. This is

625
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: the Herdline news.

626
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 7: All right, let's start with those Baltimore Ravens who are

627
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 7: playing games with.

628
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: The injury report. Kind of sort of joking, but Lamar

629
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: Jackson is.

630
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 7: Expected to play Thursday against the Dolphins. John Harball said

631
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 7: he's very confident in his quarterback returning to action, claiming.

632
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 4: Last week's injury report was just a mistake.

633
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 7: Colin from the veteran coach, Lamar is a active, actually

634
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 7: a fully participant in practice this week, that's what they're saying.

635
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 7: So Ravens minus seven and a half in Miami Thursday night.

636
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 4: I don't want to do it again.

637
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: So last week and Monday night football, I took the

638
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs and I took four favorites and my favorites went five.

639
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: And oh this weekend I missed it an over under.

640
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: There's one over under I like this week. But I'm

641
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: looking today. I'm liking a lot of favorites again. There's

642
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: two underdogs I like, and there's there's four favorites I like.

643
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 7: The dogs have been barking on Thursday this season. Obviously,

644
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 7: we saw the Bengals last week. It's just tough to

645
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 7: make a case from Miami. Man, they're not good despite

646
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 7: that win over the Falcons. By the way, can I

647
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 7: can I just say I know that you love the

648
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 7: Falcons so much, so deeply. Ever every season you tell

649
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 7: me avoid them, like no Drake London, no Penix. They

650
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 7: couldn't do anything. So are the Dolphins suddenly good or did.

651
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: They just have a great situation last week?

652
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: Well, here's why I like the Ravens as a favorite. Yeah,

653
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: so the band's back together, so like they don't have

654
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: any time to waste, like that game Sunday with Tyler Huntley,

655
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: like they had to win it. The Bears didn't. So

656
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore is one of the few teams in the league.

657
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: They've got to win the next five games. They can't

658
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: mess around with this stuff. So my take is Miami

659
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: comes in feeling good, but to your point, they had

660
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: some help. And I think Baltimore is playing hair on fire.

661
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: I think Baltimore's going to roll Miami.

662
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 4: I can't disagree with you there.

663
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 7: All right, let's move on to interesting subplot here. The

664
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 7: Minnesota Vikings Colin have a big game Sunday at the

665
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 7: Lions is a huge game on Fox. It feels like

666
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 7: season saving time. Here's the big story. So Carson Wentz

667
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 7: had been filling in for JJ McCarthy. We've now got

668
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 7: word that Carson Wentz had a torn labrum other issues,

669
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 7: but it happened two weeks ago, so they were playing

670
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 7: and starting Carson Wentz despite these injuries. Of course, they

671
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 7: get so bad now he's out for the season with

672
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 7: shoulder surgery. JJ McCarthy is going to start this week.

673
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 7: But interestingly, he was the emergency quarterback colin the last

674
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 7: two weeks, so there's some speculation.

675
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: We'll wait a second.

676
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 7: If McCarthy was the emergency quarterback and the Vikings knew

677
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 7: Wentz had a torn labroom, why didn't.

678
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 4: They just start McCarthy, Like.

679
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 7: If he's good enough to be the emergency shouldn't he

680
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 7: have just started for Wentz And it's becoming a thing

681
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 7: in Minnesota. I'm being told via text that essentially the

682
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 7: emergency quarterback essentially goes in and just hands the ball off.

683
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 7: He's not throwing the ball because he's not healthy. So

684
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 7: maybe McCarthy was hurt. Is McCarthy playing this week? He's

685
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 7: starting this week? But to go from emergency for two

686
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 7: weeks to starting, did he magically get healthy?

687
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 4: I don't know how. You don't like the Lions this week? Wow,

688
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: it's tough. Tough to not lay it with the Lions

689
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: at home.

690
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 7: Now, Kevin O'Connell in a you know, they gotta have

691
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 7: it game?

692
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 4: Can they show up? I mean, the defense does not

693
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 4: look good.

694
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 7: They got destroyed in by Justin Herbert and company.

695
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 4: I don't know Colin. Essentially, JJ McCarthy.

696
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 7: Has one good quarter in the two games he's played

697
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 7: in his career, and that was the fourth quarter against

698
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 7: your bears.

699
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: Remember that one?

700
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: Uh, Detroit, they're not my bears anymore or my bears earlier?

701
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 7: Is that because you're bashing Caleb Williams this week, they're

702
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 7: not for turrashing.

703
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm offering, yes, I'm contextualizing.

704
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 4: I'm not bashing.

705
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, fine, final story, Colin, Yeah, here we go.

706
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 4: It's Wemby time. I know you were watching last night.

707
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: Look at this three sixty lay the seven five Wemby. Oh,

708
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 4: look at just erasing shots at the rim, Colin.

709
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 7: The Spurs are four and oh Wemby had twenty four

710
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 7: and fifteen. Didn't have to play much last night because

711
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 7: the uh who's at the Raptors.

712
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, they see it. Look at Wemby in transition.

713
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: They're starting five Stefan Castle. They're starting Five's good. I

714
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: don't know about their bench, but they're starting five is good.

715
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

716
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 7: With the window, Spurs are now four O their best

717
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 7: start in eight years. And uh, you know, I don't know, man,

718
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 7: I think Weebin Yama.

719
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: We're talking first team All NBA. Well that's how good.

720
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: I mean, he's made such a freaking leap. Look at

721
00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 4: these numbers.

722
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: So Yo Kitsch is the best player in the league.

723
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: My take is Wemby will surpass Luca at some point

724
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: because he so has so much dexterity and presence on

725
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: the defensive end. I mean, Vixer can do more than

726
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: Luca can do. Luke can give you thirty eight. But

727
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: he's not doing much in the defensive end.

728
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 4: I mean, he's.

729
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: Almost at five blocks a game. So let's sea so

730
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: Yo Kitsch is the best player in the game to

731
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: this moment. Luca's number two, but Wemby will probably be

732
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 1: two in an hour.

733
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 4: Yiannis would be four. Oh, okay, Giannis for it. I

734
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 4: guess I'll give you that. Okay, who's six.

735
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 7: Well, Anthony Edwards is hurt right now. Lebron's hurt right now,

736
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 7: Tatum's hurt right now. Leak's got a lot of injuries.

737
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 7: It's certainly not your boy, Cooper Flag. It's not Anthony Davis.

738
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're right. Steph.

739
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: By the way, is Anthony Davis. I'm just gonna throw

740
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: this out there. You see he put on some weight.

741
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 4: He yeah, they're calling.

742
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

743
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 4: I don't want to fat shame anyone, but just he

744
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 4: looks heavy on a couple.

745
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 9: Hey.

746
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I had a busy summer eating in Dallas.

747
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 4: I guess I haven't been in Dallas in a few years, but.

748
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 9: The food is good there.

749
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, ribbed steaks everywhere. Luca gained weight in Dallas.

750
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 7: Remember, they started to fat shame him and now he's

751
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 7: all skinny out here in La eating avocado toast and everything.

752
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, they're saying, you look like you may

753
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 7: have put on a few pounds since moving to the Midwest.

754
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm gonna tell you something. Eating's good

755
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 4: out here, very good. J Mack with a new Well.

756
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 2: That's the news.

757
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 9: And thanks for stopping by the herd Line.

758
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 4: That was very nice of Derek Jeter to stop by.

759
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: He did not have to go on our show today

760
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: and he's working on about thirty five minutes sleep, so

761
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: I appreciate that
