1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. We made it to 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: a Thursday. It's our one Dan and the Danette Stan 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Show. I think mclovin soften his stance on Luca 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: don Chick. Well, I'm having to work a lot harder 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: to be anti. Luca said, if they would just lose games, 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: that would help me out a lot. Dan. I'm starting 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: to look at that eighth and final spot in the 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: West and it's really shaping up to be very interesting 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: because New Orleans, the Blazers and also the Grizzlies fighting 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: for that spot. There. You got the Pelicans with the 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: easiest schedule. They got Sacramento coming up later today, Washington, 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: San Antonio, Sacramento, and Orlando. The Blazers have Denver, the 14 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: LA Clippers, Philadelphia, Dallas and Brooklyn. And Memphis has the 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: tougher run here. They've got Oklahoma City, Toronto, Boston and Milwaukee. 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what Milwaukee is going to put out 17 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,319 Speaker 1: there in the final game of the regular season. Does 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: it come down to that Thursday, August thirteenth of who's 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: going to get in that eighth spot and be able 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: to play for the opportunity to go into the playoffs 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: to face the LA Lakers. By the way, you know, 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: the big news in the bubble is about the Lakers offense, 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: and even though we look at them and say number 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: one seed in the West, there's really concern about that offense. Now, 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: last night, I didn't know what they were going to 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: put out there against Okloma City, But I think internally 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: what they're working on is who is our starting lineup here? 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: Because offense has been really prevalent in the bubble. They're 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: not a great three point shooting team. They shot thirteen 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: percent last night, but having your offense ready to go 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: is going to be the key. And that's why I 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: want Lebron in ad. I want them to continue to play. Now. 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to maxim out and make sure they're 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: playing thirty six minutes. But you've got to figure this 35 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: out because you're if you hit the ground running against Portland, 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: then you got to be up to their speed because Portland, 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: or if you look at New Orleans, they're going to 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: be going right away game one of that first round 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: of the playoffs here, and the Lakers have got to 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: be up to that challenge when they start this series 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: with one of those two teams. Maybe it's Memphis. You know, 42 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: Memphis losing Jared Jackson junior. That obviously hurt them because 43 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: he had played extremely well. The schedule doesn't favor them, 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: and they don't have their second best player out there. 45 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to come down to Portland 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: and New Orleans as far as that eighth spot there 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: getting into a playoff, then they face one another in 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: the playoffs or the play in games the eighth seed gets. 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: The eighth seed only has to win one game, and 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the ninth seeded team getting in has to win two 51 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: games exactly. That's what I said as well. If you're 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: the eighth seed, then you just have to win one 53 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: game against that team. You could keep saying it over 54 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: and over. It's going it's not hitting me in the head. 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. If you'd like get in touch, 56 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: you can.

Yes, mclovin, has there 60 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: ever been a time where fans knew less about the playoffs? 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: Structures at different leagues, like any of the league. Well, 62 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: we didn't know if the NFL was expanding their playoffs, 63 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: we didn't know. We thought it might have been combined 64 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: with the seventeen game regular season schedule. Baseball goes from 65 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: ten to sixteen. And now with the NBA, you're gonna 66 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: have the eight nine seed teams face one another for 67 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the opportunity to face the Lakers. With the eight seeded 68 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: team only have they only have to win one of 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: the three games, whereas the ninth seeded has to win 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: two of the three games to get in. Yes, mclovin, 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: what if nine and ten are tied? I don't want 72 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: to get there, Yes, Tod. I'm still trying to understand 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: what's going on with the hockey too, if you want 74 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: to throw that sport. And also it's not clear with 75 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: seatings and who's doing what You're right, I haven't even 76 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: gotten to that topic. I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna need 77 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: to know basis when it comes to that. I just 78 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: know they're doing a great job in the bubble in 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: those two cities there, all right. Baseball sent out a 80 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: memo to its players basically saying they're gonna threaten to 81 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: fine and suspend. Just say you're going to be fined 82 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: or suspended. Don't threaten them, just do it. Like we've 83 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: gotten to the point where, hey, if you do it again, 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm really gonna be mad. Okay, you did it now, 85 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be madder. No, just saying, guys, police yourself. 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: We got a snitch hot line. You want to use that. 87 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: The NFL's got a snitch hot line. NBA's got a 88 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: snitch hot line. If you don't police yourself, this season 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: goes down the drink. It's as simple as that. That's it. 90 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: If we have one more team that has an outbreak, 91 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: baseball probably shuts down. That's all. And if you know 92 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: you violate these rules, you're loose with the rules. Just 93 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: like Derek Jeter said, Hey, our guys let their guard down. No, 94 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: don't let your guard down, don't let your mask down. 95 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: Just do what you're supposed to do and we can 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: get through this baseball season. That's all. But baseball is 97 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: threatening do fine and suspend? Yes, po Yeah, they word 98 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: it like that because if the backup catcher for the Pirates, 99 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: you know, goes out and gets in trouble, they'll suspend him. 100 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: But if Mike Trout wants a ham Sandwich, he's just 101 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: getting fined. They they're gonna keep him on the field. Yes, yeah, yeah, 102 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: ham sandwich clause. Yeah. Mike Trout, who hit two home 103 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: runs yesterday. By the way, I don't know if it matters. 104 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: I also wondered about this with Mike Trout. He's a 105 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: wonderful player. We say the same thing about Mike Trout. 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: Whenever Mike Trout's name comes up, we go, yeah, man, 107 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: he's incredible, he's five tool player, he's Hold of Famer. 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: We never do this to Mike Trout in what we 109 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: do to other star players, doesn't get into playoffs, doesn't win. 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: I know. It's a baseball player, and you got a 111 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: team here. We do that to quarterbacks all the time. 112 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: You got more players on a football team. Been a 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: pitcher will get lit up because he has a bad postseason. 114 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, Greg Maddox, now they get lit up. Whereas 115 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: John Smoltz got into the Hall of Fame, you know, 116 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: partially because he was unbelievable in the postseason. Andy petted 117 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: All his great postseason pitcher, Whitey Ford, great postseason pitcher, 118 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: Jack Morris, You certain quarterbacks. He's great in the postseason. 119 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco has been great in the postseason. But when 120 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: it comes to Mike Trout, at what point do you 121 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: say he got to hold him accountables for something there? 122 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: And I know that they've tried to build a roster 123 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: around him, and Shohei Otani is just not going to 124 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: be the player that they thought he was going to be. 125 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: He might not even be they hit her, they thought 126 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: he was going to be let alone pitcher and hitter. 127 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: You know, Pooholes is winding down a Hall of Fame career. 128 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: But you know, you start to look at that roster 129 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: and you wonder, do we hold Mike Trout in a 130 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: different light than we do any other athlete in any 131 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: other sport or in the sport of baseball. Yeah, well, 132 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: I think I'm curious with Mike Trout is if he 133 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: goes to Albert Poohols route, because remember Poohols his first 134 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: ten years in Saint Louis, he didn't get paid a ton, 135 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: but he was perfect. He never had a bad season. 136 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Mike Trout's twenty eight, almost twenty nine. He's top five 137 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: MVP every single year of his career, like he's never 138 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: had an off year and off year of him, it's 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: like two ninety five and thirty five home runs. Do 140 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: they look at the second half of career? And I 141 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: know they're paying him for a while, but say, like, 142 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: at some point we have to move on from this 143 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: because it's not working. Like Saint Louis did with Poohles. 144 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: You've already paid him, right, but you didn't get your bargain. 145 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: You didn't get the bargain. But maybe you say, Okay, 146 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: we're paying for this and we got to go another direction. Trout. 147 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: We had this converse every year. Trout turns twenty nine tomorrow. 148 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Are we going to look at his career and say 149 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: what could have been had they build a better roster there? 150 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: But you know, if you're so far three postseason games 151 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: and that was six years ago that he played three 152 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: postseason games, and maybe it's not fair to hold him accountable. 153 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: You know, we did this with Barry Bonds. You know, 154 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: we would say, hey, you're not winning anything. And some 155 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: of these guys Ted Williams, they always say, oh, what, 156 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: he didn't do much in the postseason or they didn't win. 157 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Trout is doing everything he can possibly do. 158 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how much more he could do unless 159 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: he can pitch, maybe that would help. Yeah, McLevin, Yeah, 160 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: you didn't mention that they lost the game last night. 161 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: I just like, I know, that's what I'm saying. Two 162 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: home runs but they lose? Are these like a rude 163 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: home runs? Like they're up eight two in the seventh 164 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: inning and he hits a solo one to write like 165 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: he was the king of that? Who a run? Oh yeah, 166 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: I mean, well, I'm not going to put Trout in 167 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: with a rod, but like you know what I mean, 168 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: different home runs count differently when you hit him in 169 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: a close game, it's a lot different pitchings much tighter. 170 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: Can you think of a player that is held less 171 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: accountable for his team's success in baseball than Mike Trout? 172 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: And if you look at it, it's a sliding scale 173 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: of he's the best player in baseball and he could 174 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer if he ended his career. 175 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: Now you'd be a Hall of Famer. But they don't 176 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: even get into the postseason. It's weird how we pick 177 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: and choose of, Hey, you should be leading your team 178 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: into the postseason. Like gets up to the quarterback to 179 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: lead his team into the playoffs to win Super Bowls, 180 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: even though there are so many obstacles there. I mean, 181 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: there's so many possibilities here of what could go wrong. 182 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: You know, defensive back fails to catch a ball in 183 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: an interception. Well, quarterback didn't win the Big One. But 184 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: with Mike Trout and I watched him yesterday and you 185 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: he makes it look so easy and it's not. But 186 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: he might end his career and have very very little 187 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: to show for it other than unbelievable stats. And I 188 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: was trying to think, is there another player that's similar 189 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: to Trout who has nothing to show for his career? 190 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean, a Rod came over to the Yankees and 191 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: got a championship, But is there somebody that put up 192 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: these unbelievable numbers? Poohles won in Saint Louis, But I'm 193 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: hank Aaron won one title. I'm just trying to find 194 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: out the best player with the the probably the quietest 195 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: resume as far as team honors here. Yeah, point, I 196 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: know he doesn't have the power, but you could compare 197 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: his career to Tony gwyn Tony Gwinn was an All 198 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Star for basically fifteen seasons, never had a bad year. 199 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: Raked all the time. Tony Gwinn appeared in two World Series, 200 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: lost both, but in those two World Series he hit 201 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: three seventy one combined. He did his part, but he 202 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: never was the national stage best player and didn't do 203 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: a lot of interviews. Yeah, he wasn't the best player. 204 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: Trialt is by far the best player. Yeah, MC Ken 205 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: Griffy Junior, Yep, that's pretty close, I think, but I 206 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: think he had injuries. Though Junior had injuries. That Seattle 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: team should have won at least one World Series that 208 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: had unbelievable talent there. But yeah, Junior, but I don't 209 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: think we hold him accountable. If you said how many 210 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: postseason games did Ken Griffy Junior play in, people would 211 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: probably not have any idea. I mean, Junior was great 212 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: for his first ten years of his career and then 213 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, his style of play in the outfield caught 214 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: up to him. Had injuries throughout you know the second 215 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: half of his career. Yeah. Yeah, Ken Griffey Junior only 216 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: appeared in the postseason three times in his career. Yeah, 217 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and he hit great when he was there, but it 218 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: wasn't that often. Yeah, it's weird when you're trying to pictures. 219 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: We hold accountable because they have the ball in their 220 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: hands and they're able to the quarterback out there. But 221 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: we don't do that with position players. It's very very 222 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: rare that we do that. And I just I watched 223 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: Trout yesterday and I just thought, I wonder if he's 224 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: going to have anything to show for this career other 225 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: than Hall of Fame stats when it's all said and 226 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: done and in four hundred million dollars or so, yes, 227 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: he Baseball is kind of unique in that where you 228 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: can be a absolutely guaranteed first ballot Hall of Famer 229 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: and never really do anything in the postseason, be like, yeah, 230 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: well wasn't I fall? You know just that that there's 231 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: the teams around me. It's always at okay, it's always 232 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the pitcher that that you can you can build like 233 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling has a he's a Hall of famer in 234 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: my opinion, he has a Hall of Fame career because 235 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: of his postseason. He was a very good regular season pitcher, 236 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: he was a great postseason pitcher, and as a result, 237 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: we elevate his status. I don't I don't know if 238 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: we we you know, take hitters down, but we do 239 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: elevate pictures or we do blame pitchers. Ernie Banks, I 240 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: don't think ever played in the postseason, and he had 241 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: five hundred home runs in his career MVP. He won 242 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: back to back MVPs All Star fourteen fifteen times, but 243 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: he never got into the postseason. More teams get into 244 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: the postseason now, which also could be held against Mike Trout. 245 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: I guess it's hard to not make the playoffs now 246 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: in any of these sports. Yeah, it's on. Ernie Banks 247 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: played on a team that went fifty nine and one 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: hundred and three. Having Ernie Banks out there every day 249 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: and you can't even win sixty games, Paulie. You could 250 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: compare pooh Hooles and Trout for their first ten years 251 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: on the field. Their stats are impeccable. Their first ballot 252 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Famers in his first ten seasons. Mike Trot's 253 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: appeared in three postseason games in his first ten years. 254 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: Albert Poohols appeared in fifty seven postseason games, got two 255 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: World Series in an MVP. This program brought to you 256 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: by the great folks at Raycon by raycon dot com. 257 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: These are the wireless yearbuds I've been talking about they're 258 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: the way to go yet fifteen percent off or Raycon 259 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: order at by raycon dot com slash patrick. That's by 260 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: raycon dot com slashpatrick. And I know people point out 261 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: that he's supposed to be the best player in the game, 262 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: but he's not. The face of baseball doesn't do interviews. 263 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: I can't ask you to be something you're not. You know, 264 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: Kawhi leonard Is, he's a Hall of Famer, one of 265 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: the top five players in the NBA. He didn't do 266 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: any interviews. That's okay if you're not If you don't 267 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: want to do it, you're not good at doing it. 268 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I don't want to put pressure 269 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: on Mike Child to say, Mike, come on, get interesting here. 270 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's unfair to do that to him. Yeah, 271 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: it's McLuhan. I feel like he's been pretty fun with 272 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: you when you've interviewed him. He's not like I have 273 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: him on once a year. But look, I have him 274 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: on if he's available and he wants to come on, great. 275 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: He wants to talk fishing or the Philadelphia Eagles, then great. 276 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: But I don't sit there and go, wow, he didn't 277 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: give me anything there He's got to be better as 278 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: the face of the NBA or baseball. We don't say 279 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: that about the Greek freak or Kauhi, Anthony Davis, Lebron. 280 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: We expect him to say something and Steph Curry to 281 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: say something, and normally they do. Kevin Durant is always 282 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: saying something. Yeah, Paul. Yeah. If you go back on 283 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Baseball Reference, you could look at certain athletes and see 284 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: their stats and it's really mind blowing. I think we 285 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: forget how great Albert Poohols's first half of his career 286 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: was because he's cooled off on the West Coast. In 287 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, he was the MVP of the NLCS. 288 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: He was fourteen for twenty eight in a seven game series. 289 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: He hit five hundred, five hundred. If you want to 290 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: walk a little bit, jeez. Yeah, mc cloth. I heard 291 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: an interesting thing that Anthony Davis is doing so well 292 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: because Lebron does all the talking, so he doesn't have 293 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: to talk anymore. I don't know if that's well, nobody 294 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: was really listening to Anthony Davis in New Orleans. Well, 295 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: he got in trouble, remember he bore that shirt. Well, 296 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: he didn't want to play. Yeah, it just it seemed 297 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: like he liked being the mouthpiece of a team or 298 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, there's a pressure in the NBA to talk. 299 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: Well he wanted out right. I mean that he created 300 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: his own mess, his own prison. But don't you feel 301 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: like NBA guys are kind of put a little pressure, 302 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: like you got to say something more than baseball. But 303 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's waiting for Anthony Davis to 304 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: say something. I mean, how many players do you go? 305 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: What did he say? Like Kevin Durant all listened to. 306 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: Harden doesn't say anything. Harden doesn't do media. Russell Westbrook 307 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: might but not much. Steph does. Kd is always talking Lebron. 308 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Who else do you throw it? I we haven't interviewed 309 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: Lucas since he's been in the league. We've had Trey 310 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: Young on he's you know, pleasant. We haven't name of Jannis, 311 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: have we no? But I don't know if we're waiting 312 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: to hear or that boy what a great personality there, Yeah, 313 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: poling Ted Williams one of the greatest hitters of all 314 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: time in a nineteen year career. He appeared in the 315 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: postseason once down that back then that you went to 316 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: the World Series and nothing basically but once. Yeah, if 317 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: you won your division, you won the American League, and 318 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: then you played for the World Series. So if they 319 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: were playing now, Teddy ballgame would probably have played in ten, twelve, 320 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: fifteen postseason years. Yeah. Poll. There's some snarkiness on Baseball 321 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: Reference and Baseball Reference. They say you're all your stats, height, weight, 322 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: where you're born, when you died, where you're buried, and 323 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: it says born august Is Ted Williams born August thirtieth, 324 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen died July fifth, two thousand and two, buried, 325 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: and the usually has a cemetery. It just says the 326 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: word frozen. Oh, very snarky, I mean spirited. I think 327 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: I like it.

What's on your mind? 434 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: Kylen boys DP. It's an honor to be the first 435 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: ever Angel fan on the show. We do exist, We 436 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: meet weekly support groups. We'll go winning out down here 437 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: in the ot anyway. Yeah, pitching everything might trout, can't 438 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: change that. Yeah, anyway, Lakers Lebron, she always turns it 439 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: up for the big games. He'll school and they need too. 440 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: It's not like she's gonna watch these guys chuck up 441 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: X all series long. Still do it when he needs too. Yeah, 442 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: but I need a team effort, Kyle. I'm concerned because 443 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo. I know, maybe not big names, 444 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: but it messes up the rotation. I love the bench. 445 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: You know, Caruso, Kuzma, Dion Waiters have really looked good 446 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: in Orlando. I just think they gotta everybody has offense. 447 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: Portland has offense, Houston has offense, Dallas has offense, Denver 448 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: has offense, Clippers have offense. The Lakers have to have 449 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: a consistent lineup that is not going to put them 450 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: in a hole. And I wouldn't be surprised if Kuzma 451 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: gets put into the starting lineup and maybe you bring 452 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: McGee off the bench. But you know, I guess they're 453 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: good problems to have. But this is going to catch 454 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: up with the Lakers at some point in the postseason. Kyle. 455 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. You know, I watch every 456 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: game and they get open loads, they don't make them 457 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, Kuz has always kind of been that X factory, 458 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: and he does have his moments, and you know, he 459 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: might be right if they went maybe it is said 460 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: to him. YEA, thank you, Coyle. Thanks for the phone call. 461 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: Jason in California. Hi, Jason, what's on your mind? Hey, 462 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: good morning guys. Morning six f one eighty nine COVID. Wait, 463 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: all right, I just want to defend Mike Trout. I 464 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 1: know he gets a lot of bad rep just because 465 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: he's not in the playoffs. But you gotta understand that 466 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: is he's not surrounded by a good team. Oh, I know. 467 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: And I'm not criticizing him, Jason, I'm criticizing the talent 468 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: around him in the team. He'll get criticism later in 469 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: his career when we look back and he's only played 470 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: in three playoff games. There's only so much he can do. 471 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, we don't really hold him 472 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: accountable way the way we do other players, certainly in 473 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: that sport or in other sports. But Mike Trout is 474 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: by far and away the best player in the game, 475 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: and he has very little to show for it as 476 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: far as postseason games. And he's gonna turn twenty nine tomorrow, 477 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: so that it was just an observation. I like Trout. 478 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate Trout. Trout could thrive in any generation in 479 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: the history of Major League Baseball. I just he's kind 480 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: of a forgotten guy who's the best player in the game. 481 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: This is you know, when you think it's sports, you 482 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: know you want your marquee players who are going to 483 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: be on TV. They're gonna be out there, They're going 484 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: to be in the postseason. That's what you want. That's 485 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: how legacies are made. Mike Trout's going to be a 486 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, But is he going to be recognized 487 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: as one of the great clutch players of all time, 488 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: the great winners of all time. That's where you separate 489 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: yourself and the answer is probably none. So it wasn't 490 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: meant as a referendum on I don't like Mike Trout. 491 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: It's just we look at him. How many times have 492 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: you said the best guy in the sport is not 493 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: a guy who plays in the postseason. It's just really rare, 494 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: and Mike Trout has been that guy at least so far. 495 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, thanks man, I just wanted to say, like, 496 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: like you said, like the organization, the way they build 497 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: around him. Is not like they give out a lot 498 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: of bad contracts, Like he has nothing to work with 499 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: besides himself, and he gives one hundred percent every day. 500 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: He's always good. As a fans, oh no, we get 501 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: all of that. Jason's he's all of those things. He's 502 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: everything you would want as as a son in law, 503 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: as a teammate, as a as a baseball player, all 504 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: of that. He's consistent. You never worry about him. He's 505 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: everything you want. He's ideal. But he's just not going 506 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 1: to be in the postseason. And it's unfortunate. Like if 507 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning never played in the postseason, he wouldn't be 508 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: mentioned as one of the great quarterbacks of all time. Yeah, 509 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: he's been in the All Star Game every time, every year, 510 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: and he's when he's surrounded by talent, he thrives. He's 511 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: he has two mbps in an All Star Game. That 512 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: tells you that, oh I no, no, no, there's nobody's 513 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: arguing thank you, Jason. You're missing the point. He is 514 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: the best player in the game. Nobody's arguing that. Nobody's 515 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: arguing who he is. I don't care if he does 516 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: interviews or not. It's just it's rare when you have 517 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: your best player and you can't really showcase him. See 518 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: that's the problem, you know, as much as and I 519 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: thought the Angels might be sneaky great in this sixty 520 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: game window, but Otani is done. I mean, that's been 521 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: a bummer. You know. I liked Rendon certainly with the Nationals. 522 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're going to be consistent 523 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: enough here. And Trout has just I just watched him yesterday. 524 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: He hit two of them runs, and I just go, God, 525 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: this might be one of those careers where you go, Okay, 526 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: great numbers, first ballot, Hall of Famer. Just you want 527 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: to see these guys in big moments. The reason why 528 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: Jordan's the greatest player of all time is because why 529 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: postseason big moments. There were guys who were great during 530 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: the regular season. Dominique Wilkins never got to an NBA finals. 531 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: They had to go through, you know, tough teams in 532 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: the East. Imagine if he had three rings, we'd think 533 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: of Dominic Wilkins differently. But that was all. It was 534 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: just an observation with Trout. Yeah, mcclvin, we're trying to 535 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: put together a Paul PAULI suggested whose career would you want? 536 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey, and he had a former World Series MVP 537 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: that I had no idea it was a World Series MVP. 538 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: Would you care to guess? Can you give me the 539 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: team at Cubs? There's no way most people would Ben Zobrist. 540 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: I was looking at the MVPs. You know who twenty 541 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: eighteen was for the Red Sox. You'll never remember this, 542 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: Nathan Vivaldi, Steve Pierce, Oh, Steve Pierce, the Piercer, the 543 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: snow Piercer. But the question is like, would you rather 544 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: have that World Series ring or be like an MVP? 545 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Would I rather be Ken Griffy Junior or Ben Zobrist 546 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: Ken Griffy Junior. I guess maybe that's a little extreme 547 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: Griffy Junior, But would you rather go to the Hall 548 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: of Fame without appearing in without winning World series or 549 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: be a good player? Make couple? Zobrist is the three 550 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: time All Star and be a World Series MVP. Yeah, 551 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't care about being Ben Zobrist, well, not zober specifically, 552 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: but winning a World Series over the Hall of Fame 553 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: not Well, it's it's hard to have a career that 554 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: where you're a Hall of Famer and you go, yeah, 555 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: but it was you know, we're just kind of a 556 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career. I mean you're a Hall of Famer. Yeah. See. 557 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: And Ken Griffy Junior, it's sort of more than a 558 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer because at some point he was an icon, 559 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he was just the hat backwards 560 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: and everybody when I was a kid wanted to be 561 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: like Ken Griffy Junior. And he was running for president. 562 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: Remember that campaign that Nike had. It was, you know, 563 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: vote for the kid, vote Ken Griffy Junior, and he 564 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: had bumper stickers there like he was a presidential candidate. 565 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: Junior is a big deal there for a while, it 566 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: was like Junior was before Bo Jackson. I think, does 567 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: that sound about Ryder? Was? Did Bo come before? You 568 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: know where Nike had these campaigns that made them more 569 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: than just an athlete. Yeah, McLevin, I think, like Jim, 570 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: you have to put like a Jim Tomy in that 571 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: poll question because you're right, Griffy's way bigger than this. Yeah, 572 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: like Vladimir Guerrero's in the Hall of Fame, but he 573 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: didn't win anything new or a guy like Ben Zobrist 574 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: who a couple of Star games, but at World Series MVP. 575 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: I probably still take that. We don't. We don't hold 576 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: everyday players accountable when you don't win in baseball. We 577 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: do with pitchers because that can make or break you. 578 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw if he doesn't win a World Series and 579 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: or doesn't have you know, a couple of good appearances 580 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: in the postseason. People will always say great regular season pitcher, 581 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: but not a great postseason pitcher. Greg Maddox might be 582 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: the greatest regular season pitcher in baseball history, was not 583 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: a great postseason pitcher. Tom Glavin won three hundred games, 584 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: not a great postseason pitcher. But then Jack Morris got 585 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame because of the postseason. Kurt 586 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: Schilling deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because 587 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: of the postseason. John Smoltz got into the Hall of 588 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: Fame because he was a good postseason pitcher. The only 589 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: reason why Andy Pettitt is being thought of as a 590 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame pitcher the postseason. It matters with the pitcher, 591 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: It matters with quarterbacks. Yeah, mclub, we got a tweet 592 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: about football. Joe Thomas is can he be considered one 593 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: of the best offensive lineman. Ever, if the dude never 594 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: won a game, I mean, I think, but he wasn't 595 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: the face of the franchise. He wasn't the best player 596 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: in the sport. Mike Trout's the best player in the sport. 597 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: But football can happen where you're great and not win. 598 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I realized that. But just making the postseason. 599 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm not asking Mike Trout to win. I just hope 600 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: he gets to the postseason. I said this the other 601 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: day that with Mike Florio, we're going to look back 602 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: on Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers' careers and say the 603 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: front office was negligent in surrounding them with the right 604 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: talent to win, because the Green Bay Packers have never 605 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: drafted a wide receiver in the first round with him, 606 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: which it just seems impossible. And you know, Russell Wilson, Hey, 607 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: let's get a defensive back from the Jets and give 608 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: up two first round picks. Are you trying to tell 609 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: me you couldn't give the Texans two first round picks 610 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: for DeAndre Hopkins And would that better suit your offense? 611 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: That always seems to struggle. I don't. I think these 612 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: front offices have been negligent with those two Hall of 613 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks, yamp On, But could you see one of 614 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks taking a drastically lower contract to spend money elsewhere. 615 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: I know I hate to bring back Michael Jordan, but 616 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: you know, in the second half of his career, when 617 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: he could have been the highest paid player in sport, 618 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: he was making three point five million. He was in 619 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: the hes about the twentieth highest paid player, and that 620 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: let them spend on other things Dennis Rodman and other 621 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: free agents. Could you see a quarterback saying, oh, I'll 622 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: take twenty million a year, which is a lot of money, 623 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: but I want it to spent on the offense. Yeah, 624 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: but you'll have to look at these individual scenarios. Tom 625 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: Brady could take less because Giselle made more than he did. 626 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: She made forty million dollars. He restructured because he didn't 627 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: need that money. You want that money because with that 628 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: comes respect. But Brady's respect comes from going to the playoffs, 629 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl. Jordan was making ninety million 630 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: dollars off the court. So those are extreme situations. Is 631 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson going to take less? Is Patrick Mahomes going 632 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 1: to take less? Do you remember that Peyton Manning didn't 633 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: talk to me for how many years? Because I said 634 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 1: the following to him in an interview? Did you think 635 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: about taking less so you could make sure that you 636 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: signed other teammates? I had that interview on sports in 637 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: I think Peyton it was probably five years where he 638 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: didn't talk to me. I mean, I don't want to 639 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: spend your mon. Maybe it was the length of the contract. Hey, 640 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you now that contracts up. I just 641 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: wanted to know from a strategic approach, you want to 642 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: win super Bowls. Here's one of the great regular season 643 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time. We want to look at your 644 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: resume because you were so great in the regular season. 645 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: That's where we go, Well what did you do in 646 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 1: the postseason? And I was saying it as a friend, 647 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: did you think about taking less? Now? I probably should 648 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: have said defer, but I said less because remember they 649 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: had Reggie Wayne, they had Marvin Harrison, they had Edgar 650 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: and James And I said, can you keep everybody together? 651 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: And that was it, and Peyton went five years without 652 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: talking to me. Yeah, Fritzy, that's a tough question to answer, 653 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: though it's great. Then you asked that and had the 654 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: guts to ask that. But he can't win either way 655 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: because yeah, I thought of it, But then it's like, yeah, 656 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: but you didn't ultimately, and then if you say no, 657 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: then you sound greedy. I didn't. Didn't crust my mind 658 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: at all to take a penny less. That's what I deserve, 659 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: and even if it means we lose some of the 660 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: guys on our rock. Are you trying to justify why 661 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: Peyton didn't come on for those five years on the show? 662 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't put any blame on you. You know. It 663 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: was one of those where in the moment, you hear 664 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: something and then you follow up, and that's all it 665 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: was because I just and maybe it was unfair to Peyton, 666 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: but in the moment, I mean, it's not an unfair 667 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: question now to ask, because I could say to Patrick Malomes, 668 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: did you think about deferring money or could you have 669 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: taken less? And he's going to say I did take less? 670 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: I did take less so we could sign Chris Jones, 671 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: Dan Aaron Rodgers think of taking less? You win super Bowls, 672 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: you get paid. That's when every by won't you. You're 673 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: a star quarterback, that's when they want you. Well, take 674 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: a break.

Beautiful course, wonderful course, very challenging, but 683 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: it's a public course, and you know you have Olympic 684 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: out there, Harding Park and Olympic if you get that 685 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to play those. Now, San Francisco Club to me 686 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: is maybe my aside from Augusta, and I'm trying to 687 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: think if there's another course. San Francisco Club is just 688 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: wonderful and they're all in that area certainly with Harding 689 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: Park and Olympic, but those are San Francisco's got, you know, 690 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: three or four of the top golf courses in the world, 691 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: and Harding Park will be a great challenge for them. 692 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: And Pauli said, who's the favorite or Levin said, who's 693 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: the favorite? And I thought, well, I'm guessing brooks Kepka 694 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: is do you have the ons? Who's the favorite? Yeah, 695 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: brooks Kepka, Justin Thomas both ten to one, Bryce and 696 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: Dschambeau eleven to one. Then it goes Rory mcloy, John 697 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: Rom Dustin Johnson, Xander Shuffley, Patrick Cantley, Webb Simpson and 698 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods at twenty eight to one. Now Tiger changed 699 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: his putter. I think he'd won all but one of 700 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: his majors using his old putter, and he's decided to 701 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: change his putter and it's going to help him with 702 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: his back. But it seems kind of strange that you're 703 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: changing your putters. You're going into the PGA Championship. But 704 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: Tiger says he feels better and this will be a 705 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: great challenge there, great challenge on that course. All right. 706 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: A couple of phone. Kyle in Florida joins us, Hey Kyle, 707 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey?

We wouldn't 713 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: into the Hall of We wouldn't rank him, Kyle, he 714 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,920 Speaker 1: would not be a Hall of Famer. I agree with you, 715 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: all right, So the item special report.

They knew where 761 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,920 Speaker 1: this secret door was, which allowed me to escape, and 762 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: of course no paparazzi was around me when I arrived. 763 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: Our two coming out
