9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: Readings. Welcome in our three of the program, Jason Smith

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 3: Show with Me Mike Harmon. Aaron Torres in for Jason

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Smith tonight. As we roll along into the second half

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: of the show, Lakers about nine minutes remaining, bludgeoning the Wizards.

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: But the other game that has our rapped attention the

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: Cleveland Guardians now up four nothing on the Dodgers, two outs,

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: top of seven. And in the NBA, a battle of heavyweights,

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: the Pistons the three point lead final two minutes coming

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: up against your Oklahoma City Thunder and that game you

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: gotta have peacock erin Torres. That's where we begin our

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: number three as we roll on here in the studio,

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: the where can I find this game? Well for the low,

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: low cost, and look, I'm one that always talks about

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: if you want to watch it, you will find it,

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: you will seek it out. But certainly I understand the

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: vexation of folks, particularly when it comes to marquee sporting

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: events and trying to make sure that you can get

26
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: your belly full of the the hotly contested action as

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: opposed to what was on the schedule that you didn't

28
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: bother to take out. You know, like say, in a

29
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: larger sense, if the national broadcast tonight were Lakers Wizards

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: know Luka donchetz. The fact that the Wizards are the

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: Wizards means I don't need to see it. Please substitute

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: for a better game. We got a tie game with

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: under a minute and a half. But that's becoming a

34
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: larger concern. Not only do you need a multi colored

35
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: grid for your viewing depending on what team you watch

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: or how invested you are. And this becomes a line

37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: that I've run often for those that know it, say

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: it with me. If you don't, it'll be new to you.

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: The album The Last DJ by Tom Patty was not

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: very well liked in the music industry because it took

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: shots at the way albums got promoted, songs got played

42
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: et cetera. The line goes, all the boys upstairs want

43
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: to see how much you'll pay for what you used

44
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: to get for free. Yeah, Now, let's be honest about

45
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: a lot of it is like it was never free.

46
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: It was just in your cable package. Sure, and now

47
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: it's been part out to different places and subscription services

48
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: and you're either stretched thin or you decide, hey, I'm

49
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: moving on and I'll do without game X, Y or Z,

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: I'll do without the extended package, like I'm in year

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: what is it, twenty six or seven of my and

52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: I did not mean to do that. I have to

53
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: put into the swear jar now. But of the MLB package.

54
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: Once they went to audio and video. As a guy

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: that at the time was in Northern California wanting to

56
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: listen to my beloved White Sox broadcasters or watch White

57
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 3: Sox games, it was take my money, please, sure, as

58
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: fast as you could. And then we found the loophole

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: where over one hundred people could be concurrently logged in

60
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: on my ID. We did it as a social experiment,

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: and it kept growing and growing, and it was all

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: revenue that they were never going to realize because well,

63
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: there were no blockages eventually we were part of the solution,

64
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: but at Yahoo at the time. But just that idea

65
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: of for me, my team, my fandom was worth it. Now,

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: once you start parsing it out to a grid of all, right, Tuesday,

67
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: we're on Peacock, Wednesday, we're back on the local Thursday,

68
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: go to insert you know, ESPN or Fox or FS

69
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: one or whatever it is, and just going on down.

70
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: I understand the consternation. It still just comes back to

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: the same thing for me, much like going to a

72
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: game in person. How much of that experience? What is

73
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: it worth to you?

74
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: Yes?

75
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: No, And it's it's a conversation that we have with

76
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: all sports and for people who missed it. Earlier in

77
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 5: the show, we had Jason lockinfora on the Great NFL Insider,

78
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 5: and I actually asked them him about this from the

79
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 5: NFL perspective of not only the networks, but with the NFL.

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: They're trying to take over day inventory of Christmas Day,

81
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: the day the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and I asked him,

82
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 5: is there anybody in the room saying, you know, we

83
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 5: have enough real estate?

84
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: It is too much?

85
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: And his short answer was, and you should go back

86
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 5: and listen to the podcast if you missed it, but

87
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: his short answer was no, not really. Everybody wants to

88
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 5: make the most money. I do think the NFL is

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 5: a little bit different, and I do think that it

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: is a thing that I don't think any of these

91
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 5: leagues are thinking about. And I do think that to

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 5: a degree they should. Is because I do think again,

93
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: NFL very limited inventory. Seventeen regular season games, maybe soon

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: to be eighteen. Even college football, you know, twelve regular

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: season games, whatever. But with some of these inventory sports,

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: you do just get to a point, Jason Mike, I'm

97
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 5: looking at the runch the sheet that says and I

98
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 5: was talking Jason locking for earlier, but you get to

99
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 5: the point.

100
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: Where you just say, I pay enough.

101
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: I've had enough, and if I have to miss this

102
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 5: percentage of my team's games that I'm willing to do it.

103
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: I'll be quick and I'll toss it back to you.

104
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 5: It is well documented that I am a fan love

105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: my Huskies. Grew up in Connecticut. All that went to

106
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 5: the school graduated.

107
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: Et cetera. The Big East this year split out.

108
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: It used to be almost exclusively FS one, as you remember,

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: and they split out to basically four or five different networks,

110
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 5: which included FS one and Fox Turner, ESPN Plus and Peacock,

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 5: and it just got to the point where I'm like this,

112
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 5: four five, six, seven, ten games that are on Peacock,

113
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 5: I am just going to have to miss.

114
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: And I hate to say it, but it's the truth.

115
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: And I think there are a lot of fans that

116
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: are saying that about their favorite team and about filling

117
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 5: the blank streaming service that they just say, I have enough,

118
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 5: I'm not adding more. And to your point, everybody's got

119
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: that threshold of what they're willing to pay for, but

120
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 5: I do think there's also the threshold of what you're

121
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: not willing to pay for, and I think that a

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 5: lot of these leagues are going to have to learn

123
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: that the hard way.

124
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, as you parse it out, and again you know

125
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: the conversation with Jason Lock and Forward. Check out the

126
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: podcast Justin and Alex will get that together with Shay

127
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 3: later on tonight. Wherever you get your audio, we appreciate

128
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: you downloading it evangelized to friends and family as we

129
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: continue to grow intergalactically here on the program. Give it

130
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: five stars, rate it, review it, all of those fun things,

131
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: but it's just that idea of for the NFL encroaching.

132
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: On another day, it's all short term versus long term plays. Right,

133
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: You're trying to satisfy quarterly earnings in a lot of cases,

134
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: trying to show hey, subscription growth and where can you

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: goose that a little bit with some of these specialty

136
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: events or specialty kind of situations. Right, A lot of

137
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: folks were vexed and salty about the Netflix Baseball game

138
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: last week, which you could watch in its entirety. I mean,

139
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: they helped that up as a replay interest if you

140
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: want to go and do that, and people were mad

141
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: with the presentation, and it's like it's all proof of concept.

142
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: It's not a finished product for them by any means,

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: but it was a game that you had to come

144
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: to if you were a Yankee fan. And Netflix is

145
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: one of those examples that it's almost ubiquitous. There's hundreds

146
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: of millions of households that it's not an extra cost.

147
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: It's just a reminder of where can I find the

148
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: game and then an opportunity to show you as they do.

149
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: And each of these programmers is going to do this

150
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: and I know again we go back to once upon

151
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: a time, No commercials to different strata and levels for

152
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: how many commercials and when the commercials go. But a

153
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: lot of it's going to be interstitials to get you

154
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: to some of their original programming, which costs a ton

155
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: of money to produce, just like it does to buy

156
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: into any number of packages in Netflix case, what is

157
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 3: it three games this year? That's it? Like that? It's

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: is that it it's a very small entry level, hey,

159
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: coming much like the Black Friday game was is you know,

160
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: in all of those kind of things, the day, Christmas

161
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: Day games, et cetera. It's proof of concept. Hey, we

162
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: want a piece of what is one of the last

163
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: bastions of programming that people tune into. Right, I watch

164
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: a lot of episodic television. Right, My kids and I

165
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: we we have different shows that we converge on for conversation,

166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: not necessarily watching together. But I know that the next

167
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: day I can watch them on percent and they're there

168
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: for me like I don't. It's not appointment viewing like

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: it was once upon a time. You know, the once

170
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: a year showing of the Wizard of Oz. If you

171
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: missed it, you either had to have the VHS or

172
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: wait till the next year. That's it, or record it

173
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: on your Betamax or whatever. It's a wonderful life Christmas Eve,

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: right like, But all of those things, if you didn't

175
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: see them, or you didn't see them first run, you

176
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: waited till reruns in May. Right. NBC it famously for

177
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: years had the if you didn't see it, it's new

178
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: to you, was the tag. Right, So if you didn't

179
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: see it when whatever insert sitcom or drama here, Saint

180
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: Elsewhere or whatever showed until they went to repeats after

181
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: May sweeps and end of the summer, you didn't see

182
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: it unless you had it videotaped or knew someone that did.

183
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: You were waiting for the repea I missed episode four, yep,

184
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: I missed that part of the arc, and then we

185
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: come back in and that's how Friends and other things

186
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: would gained some of their attraction. But now you're looking

187
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 3: at the different packages, and I see some of the surveys,

188
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: this is what it costs you to watch obviousam It's like, well,

189
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: you're getting a lot of other programming there, So unless

190
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: you're ascribing zero value to everything else that's available to

191
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: you on Peak, Sure, on Paramount Plus, on Netflix, on HBO,

192
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: Max whatever else. Then you know it's a bit disingenuous,

193
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: but I get the point, right, it's parsed out and

194
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: it does become costly, and again it becomes the what's

195
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: your saturation point? How many of those games are you

196
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: really gonna sit down and watch? How much did you

197
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: ever really sit down and watch? Anyway? Because that's the other, yes,

198
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: the other dirty little secret dollars so well it would

199
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 3: cost me because okay, how often were you watching your

200
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 3: team to begin with? And you know you've got the

201
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: levels of super fan to the casual that waits until

202
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs stretch anyway, much like March Madness, right, and

203
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: the game that we play famously on the show True

204
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: TV or Not TV where Jason makes up shows or

205
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: is it actually something that has been or is on

206
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: the True TV schedule of programming? Everybody knows the Practical Jokers,

207
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 3: but beyond that renewed for season thirteen, by the way, I.

208
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: Mean, they might as well just call it Impractical Jokers

209
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 5: TV because every time I turned that thing on.

210
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: But it's there for you. But but it's really just

211
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: that philosophical thing and really just a curiosity to me, right,

212
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: our buddy Areny Spaniard will no doubt get a lot

213
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: of run tomorrow talking about heming and haulling of whether

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: he should go to the Final four for his Arizona Wildcats,

215
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: and part of that is going to be sighting tickets

216
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: for seventeen. By the way, is get in for the

217
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: final four? Uh this weekend.

218
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: He did say his frat brother Resin will be there,

219
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 5: so I did have him on my show on Saturday.

220
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: He said his frat brother Resin will be there. So

221
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 5: take that information.

222
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 3: Resin like as in like a Rosin.

223
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: Bag, like exactly what you think it is, Okay, exactly

224
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 5: what you think it is.

225
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 4: So you can ask you can ask him all about

226
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: it tomorrow, deal.

227
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: With it tomorrow. But it's that kind of thing, like

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: for even going to sporting contests, that that there's a

229
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: lot of consnation and it's like, I get it. If

230
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: it's game five of one sixty two, maybe you decide

231
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: the price to get in plus your plus your parking,

232
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: plus your time and whatever is not worth the squeeze.

233
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: I understand that, but I've never understood the big playoff runs,

234
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: particularly if your team hasn't done it in forever, in

235
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: this case Arizona twenty five. I think he's twenty five,

236
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: you know, forever a day for his fighting a line

237
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: eye or Super Bowl runs or whatever. It's like they're

238
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: once in a lifetime, generational, whatever kind of moments. So

239
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: if it's that important to you, it's the old kick

240
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: it into the coffee can and just keep piling it

241
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: up until lightning strikes. But but that's just me in

242
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: terms of the importance to have those in person experiences.

243
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: But you know, you can't then complain that you didn't

244
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 3: go right.

245
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: Curious what Arnie will say tomorrow.

246
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, you know the proliferation of takeout services, takeout meals

247
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: whatever else. Right, It's it's an allocation of resources one

248
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: way or another, and you decide the game or the

249
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: in this case the streaming service is worth it or

250
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: it's not.

251
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we will find out.

252
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: I will say, if you're trying to grow the game

253
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 5: like the NBA, probably should.

254
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 4: You know, it's the push pull I get it right.

255
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 5: You need to put this game peacock because NBC is

256
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 5: paying a lot of money to put some of the

257
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: best games behind a paywall. The counter is curious how

258
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 5: many people are signing up for Peacock just to watch

259
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 5: this game.

260
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's certainly something the push pull, as you say,

261
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: you know, and trying to grow your game. If nothing else,

262
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: we know we're getting two more teams in Adam Silvers League. Yay,

Speaker 3: the free throw merchant. In this case, the shop was closed.

307
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Unbelievable peacock on the call. As we're watching this one

308
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: now in overtime, they had their opportunity. Uh did the

309
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: Pistons to take a lead? Three point shot goes off

310
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: the iron. But we looked at this one repeatedly, Aerin,

311
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: I mean, how often have you ever seen SGA called

312
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: for a push off? And it's blatant, it's clear as day.

313
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 3: But the whistle comes a good two seconds after the

314
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: shot goes up, it goes down. Crowds going nuts.

315
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 5: It's in okay, c They think it's obviously a defensive

316
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 5: file and they've just sealed the victory.

317
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: Right that he's getting an an one on this, Are

318
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: you kidding me? No, not so fast. The three gets

319
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: waved off. It's like a super villain kind of move

320
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: for the official because he waits, all goes up and eventually,

321
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: I mean you hear it on the call. Everybody is insane.

322
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: It's like, nope, it's an offensive foul going the other

323
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: way and it's clear push off. It is like there's

324
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: no debating what went on. But given Shay Gilgess Alexander's

325
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: history as the free throw merchant or foul merchant as

326
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: he's been dubbed, this one going against him at home, Wow,

327
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: how the tables turn.

328
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 5: I feel like I've said this three or four times

329
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: since you and I came out Air ten Eastern seven Pacific,

330
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 5: more than one thing can be true. If anything, it

331
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: was an offensive foul. I did not see a defensive foul,

332
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 5: in other words, a foul against the Detroit Pistons.

333
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: But also the timing of the call was late.

334
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 5: And you know, I'll say this, Mike, is that I

335
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: understand it's tough because listen, I'm not a ref.

336
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: Surprise surprise whatever.

337
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: It does annoy me. When the ref does the hesit

338
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 5: and like it should be, it's either a follow or not.

339
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 5: Boom boom, end of story. I also understand the REF

340
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: wanting to make sure they get it. Right, and I

341
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: guess in their head do a quick kind of semi

342
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: replay in their head. It does kind of drive me crazy, though,

343
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 5: when you get the half second after the fact hesitation.

344
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: You know.

345
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's that much in the NBA,

346
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: but in college they added the continuation, and I think

347
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: now refs are kind of starting to wait to see

348
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 5: if the basket goes in before they make the call,

349
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: and it's like it's either a follow or not in

350
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: real time make the decision go.

351
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: Well, that's just it. It's the replay in their head.

352
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: Did I see what I think I saw? Right? We'll

353
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: get into Major League Baseball in the early returns on

354
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: the abs in a moment, But in this case, yeah,

355
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: there is the long hesitation, almost like you'd gone over

356
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 3: to the replay, Hey, did I see what? You want

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: to confirm this? Or you're truly going villain turn and

358
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: heal turn coming out in Okasee of such a call,

359
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: because let's face it, you have the raucous crowd and

360
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: just in a matter of seconds, you take their hearts

361
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 3: out of their chests. As if you're in Indiana Jones

370
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: that takes me to the fun and exciting world of

371
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, where we've watched the consternation of managers,

372
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: umpires and pretty much everybody with the early returns from

373
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: the ABS, the Automated Ball Strike System, and we've talked

374
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: about it a lot on the show show with the

375
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 3: growing pains and the learning curve for the umpires who

376
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: have called the games a certain way. Maybe they're like

377
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: a low strike. Maybe they'll give you a little bit

378
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: on either side of the play, maybe both sides. Maybe

379
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: they extend that zone. We talked about the measuring of

380
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: players where they had to stand straight up. Well, if

381
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: you have a deep Don Mattingly circa nineteen eighty five Crouch,

382
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a much different strike zone because suddenly

383
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: you've shrunk yourself. Kevin Moss used to bat straight up,

384
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: and then he took the Don Mattinglee crouch. In today's day,

385
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: he might have actually become the player that we thought

386
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 3: Kevin Moss was gonna be. There, you go. That's one

387
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: for people of a certain age, going back to those

388
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety fleer Right rookie cards that people were trying

389
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: to become investors on. Okay, yeah, no, I'd take you

390
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: to the way back. He was the next guy. And

391
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: then when Mattingley started having problems with his back, he realized,

392
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 3: I can't hit out of this deep crouch because I'm

393
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 3: gonna be like him soon enough to I to just

394
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 3: start standing a little straighter in the batter's box. And

395
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 3: never not that he would have ever necessarily become that

396
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: consistent player that we were hoping for in the Power Merchant,

397
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 3: but a change in batting approach based on someone else's

398
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: physical ailment is.

399
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: That like what was it the Julio Franco every you know,

400
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: he did the little wiggle and then people tried to

401
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: do it for a little while and then it's like

402
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 5: oh no, no, no.

403
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: Or Vlad, I don't know.

404
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 5: There's been a few in my lifetime that are like, yeah,

405
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: that guy does it because it works for that guy,

406
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 5: but it does not work for you.

407
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's Vladimir Guerrel senior. Yeah, yeah, you know senior

408
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: swinging at balls that were bouncing in front of the plate. Yes.

409
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: Not many people were doing that and it showed pretty

410
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: pretty fast. No, no, no, let the ball across the plate.

411
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: Don't extend your zone like the Hall of Famer of

412
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 3: vlad Guerrel. Hey are you in the video games? Celebrities?

413
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: Just a good time. Global Gaming Leagues a video game

414
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: league with celebrity owned teams from te Pain and Neo

415
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: competing in everything from Call of Duty to Tetris. Sign

416
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: up and joining the league today at Global Gaming League

417
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: dot com. Yeah, the ABS has been interesting to watch

418
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 3: develop over the first couple of days, just because, you know,

419
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: when we're watching replays of NBA and they go to

420
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: the to the table. Now we're deciding how much contact

421
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: is too much contact, you know, trying to parse out

422
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: between fingers is that where is that your hand or

423
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 3: is that the opponent's hand as to who the ball's

424
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: out out or whatever, and we're watching the video for

425
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 3: that right Sometimes for the red light was a shot

426
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: released in time, where's the foot? Is it on the line,

427
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 3: is it over the line? Whatever? With ABS, it's the

428
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: home plate umpire and you have the catcher, the pitcher

429
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 3: or the batter's got to make the call within a

430
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: two second three second maximum. So that becomes the source

431
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: of consternation again in your head, did you wait too long?

432
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: And that was a big deal in a Twins game

433
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 3: where they lost their minds. It's like, no, he waited

434
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: too long before he tapped his head, rubbed his belly

435
00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: and called for.

436
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: Can I ask a question though?

437
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

438
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 5: So the way ABS works, you guys explained it to

439
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: me is that you get two challenges, but if you

440
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 5: win the challenge, then you get essentially unlimited.

441
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: Take it, Take it, baby.

442
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 5: I thought we were trying to speed up the game,

443
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: and again it goes back to the you want to

444
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 5: get the call right. But we saw what was it,

445
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: five challenges early in the Yankees Mariners game tonight. But

446
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 5: it doesn't speed up the game. You know, we've spent

447
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 5: five years, ten years talking about the need to speed

448
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 5: up the game. It just seems counterintuitive to me. Well,

449
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: but it's also you want to get the call right,

450
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 5: So I understand it, but it's it's the double edge, right,

451
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 5: and it goes fast.

452
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: As I said, you don't get you don't get to

453
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: step off and walk around and then say, okay, we

454
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: relay it from someone holding up you know, flags like

455
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 3: they're landing a plane. Okay, tap your hat. No, no, no,

456
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 3: it's you got you got two, three, you know, one,

457
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: one thousand and two, one thousand, Okay, let's go that.

458
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: You've lost your ability to challenge it. And so there's

459
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 3: been a little bit of you can only do Gamesman

460
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 3: shipped so much, sure, right, and only so many people

461
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: can do it. The fact that you had a pitcher

462
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: call it as we were laying this out coming into

463
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: the year, that most of the time you're just gonna

464
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: let the catcher do it. Let them decide. Now we've

465
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: had a couple of instances with the pitchers and no, no, no,

466
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: that was a strike, like well, they think everything they

467
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 3: throw is up straight. But where it's been interesting for

468
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: me is from the umpire perspective, and it's a matter

469
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 3: of look, it's a game of inches. We always I

470
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: take it back to the sand lot, I take it

471
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: back to when we would go to our local grade

472
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: school and you'd put the tape up right, You tape

473
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 3: the box up, and you're playing fast pitch against that.

474
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: Now you could argue that it was too big, too little,

475
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: but it was supposed to be letters to knees, So

476
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: you approximate because you can't change it up for every

477
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: person stepping in the box. You just hope everybody's within

478
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: a certain range of height. But if it touched any

479
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: of that tape, it's a strike. You can argue it,

480
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: but and fight about it, you know, if the guy

481
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: had a good curve ball, and certainly I remember my

482
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: uncle throwing a bat at my older brother as he

483
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: had a curveball that broke in late, Like come on,

484
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: but hey, it was inside the box. What do you want?

485
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Same thing here? Watching the umpires, you feel bad to

486
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: a degree because you've got to try to judge the

487
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: ninety eight mile an hour fastball and you might be

488
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 3: point three inches off, but you're still off. Here's one

489
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: of the calls from earlier tonight from the Yankees Mariners game.

490
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 6: Oh what a pitch and Stanton Abs powered by t Mobile.

491
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 4: And they got a run again? Why is on fire?

492
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: And now there is parking from the Yet you dug

493
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 6: out as if to tell Asterbrook get it right.

494
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there there it is. Yes, Network, make sure hey,

495
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 3: you know your know your umpire's name of who's not

496
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: getting wrong. It's the Brook on the call. It's also

497
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: another sponsorable spot. There you go at wherever you can

498
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: get a couple more bucks. I mean, look, the Dodgers

499
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: renamed their field last week ahead of opening days, so

500
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: you got that going. But for the umpires man, you

501
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: get worn out pretty fast. We watched it a couple

502
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: of the bats over the weekend, back to back pitches

503
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: getting challenged, and again it's waffer thin, but it's it's

504
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 3: a letter of the law, it's not spirit. So that's

505
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: where and as long as it goes that fast, because

506
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 3: what was that a standing six count?

507
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 5: It's true, it's true, and you when you factor in

508
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: for people who haven't seen it yet, it's essentially what

509
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 5: you see in tennis with line call. So yeah, so

510
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 5: it is a fair point that it is boom boom boom.

511
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: It either is or it isn't, and you move on

512
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 5: to the next one. But I do think and I

513
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 5: know it's not you know, just your point because I've

514
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: heard other people make it. But I do think you

515
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: did make an important point of In some ways, you

516
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 5: do feel bad for Umps because they have had the

517
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: same strike zone forever and by the way, it's not

518
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 5: even that it was in theory, probably not the quote

519
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 5: unquote right strike zone, but they call balls and strikes.

520
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 5: Everyone adjusted to it and now they just have to

521
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 5: readjust after twenty five, thirty forty years in the business,

522
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: I feel kind of bad. But I also by the

523
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: way they are showing the replay on TV right now,

524
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: it is pretty incredible how many in a row this guy,

525
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 5: just by technicality, did get wrong. And as you said,

526
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: super Thad Margins, you are doing the thin margins with

527
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 5: your fingers.

528
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: Waft for thin, wafer thin, five overturned calls on the night.

529
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just that, right. You only feel bad

530
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: to a point. Everybody's adjusting right. The catcher has been

531
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: framing is framing now a day? Are interesting? You know

532
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: how good a catcher you have been? Is can you

533
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: frame what is off the plate back in while with

534
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: the abs not you as.

535
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 5: This this is what we should do. We should give

536
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 5: Umps some challenges too. Is that you know the reverse

537
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 5: you know that call out the catcher you pulled that

538
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 5: one back in not a strike. I'm challenging that because

539
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 5: you pull. You know, that was way too much of

540
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 5: a frame for my for my taste.

541
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: But you get shell shot. You miss that many in

542
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: a row, like gay, We now lost this guy. Come on,

543
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: get your head back in the game. Could not be

544
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: in your head right. If I fumbled over my words

545
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: trying to make an analogy or finish a read, it

546
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: might take me a minute to get back.

547
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 4: I'm we have a.

548
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: Violent conversation and argument about something one of us may

549
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: not recover fast.

550
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 5: I mean, if you called John Shire John Scheyer five

551
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: straight times to lead the show and somebody had to

552
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 5: talk to you about.

553
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: It, you'd be a little insecure.

554
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: I might do it if I was talking to him

555
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: and hey see how about get my Jim Rome moment?

556
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: Okay, well that was intentional though, Well, but that's just

557
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: it got it in your head.

558
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: It was called a fist. Not for me, Jim Rome,

559
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 4: Jim Everett, et cetera.

560
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: He owns a lot of horses and our prize dart.

561
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: It worked out well for him.

562
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't fault a good strategy. I may

563
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: not agree with it, he seems I can't Hey, check

Speaker 8: Now in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was

593
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 8: for nothing to begin the frame. And my goodness, we've

594
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 8: got the home opener going on with Arizona Ozho and

595
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,800

598
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 8: They get that lefty up the oh yeah, do they

599
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 8: have any other options other than lefties? And righty's eight

600
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 8: six is the lead in the top of the seventh

601
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 8: inning against They still got nine outs to get and

602
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 8: it's now bases loaded and two outs for Detroit. In

609
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 8: was an he had had home run at Wrigley. The

610
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 8: statistical estimation is that his home run ball in the

611
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 8: Windy City was blown an extra thirty five feet into

612

00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,760

682
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: the Mariners took down the Yankees. We were talking about

683
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: the abs system, the Yankees vexing the home played umpire

684
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 3: by winning consecutive and going on and on in terms

685
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 3: of well shaming him to a degree with five successful challenges.

686
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 3: But ultimately cal Rawley gets the walk off. But cal

687
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: Rawley coming into the night, including his first appearance. He

688
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: entered as a pinch hitter and struck out before having

689
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: the game winning hit. He had seventeen at bats with

690
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: fifteen strikeouts. Now, remember going back to the World Baseball

691
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 3: Classic when he infamously famously depending on your point of view,

692
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: a snub teammate Randya Rosarena would not dap him up

693
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: and it became a big deal. Right, And is everybody mad?

694
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 3: Is it play acting? What's going on? Or Rosarana trying

695
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: to you know, do is all things just kind of saying, hey,

696
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: he's my brother, I get it. Whatever. But for cal Raley,

697
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 3: who had an historic, ridiculously good season a year ago,

698
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: we're watching nightly almost like I was back in nineteen

699
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: ninety eight watching the home run chase of McGuire and

700
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: sosa Ken Griffy Junior. They had a thing in Cooperstown

701
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: if you went to the Hall of Fame where they

702
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 3: had almost like the racing things where hey, and down

703
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: the stretch they come like a little tabletop games that

704
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 3: you would play and they were pumping in the sound

705
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 3: of their red bats. For cal Raley, for Aaron Judge,

706
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: for Shoho Tani, for all the heavyweights, last year we

707
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: were kind of doing the same thing on a nightly basis. Well,

708
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: here talking about strikeouts piling up, and I have to wonder,

709
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: you know, the baseball gods lowercase g uh and baseball

710
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: superstition is it? Is it a real thing? And did

711
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: he finally do something? Do we think to maybe a

712
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: tone and get out of the doghouse in between that

713
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: first played appearance and the eventual game winner.

714
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 4: Well, I was gonna say, what would he have done?

715
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: I don't know.

716
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 4: It's like you follow.

717
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: Up a little rum for Joe bu I mean, I

718
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: don't know. Trouble with the Curve great.

719
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 4: Maybe you think that I don't know pop culture. That

720
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: is one movie that I know.

721
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: So we'll see how wide we can go an hour four?

722
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: Shall we?

723
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 4: Okay?

724
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 5: Stick with major League and Major League two and it

725
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 5: will be three major leag Back to the Miners That

726
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 5: one I might be.

727
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: The fact that you know that Back to the Miners exists.

728
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: I just got a point point for the effort right there.

729
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it. Now listen, I listen. I I

730
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 5: may be crazy. I do believe karma is a real thing.

731
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 5: I do believe you know, it's not voodoo. Even with

732
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 5: reference to Joe bou Yeah, listen, do I think cal

733
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 5: Rawley is struggling because he refused to tap up Randy

734
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 5: a Rosarana. I do not, But like you said, has

735
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 5: been playing well, has been hitting well. But maybe this

736
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 5: is the turning of a corner. Yeah, unexplainable.

737
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: It's just fun, fun theater, right because you look at

738
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 3: alongside him. I mean, does does Julio Rodriguez get to

739
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: claim that by extension I got the stink off him

740
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: because he was oh for four, he's at fifty three

741
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: on the brand new season as well. It's like it's

742
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 3: his fault. It's his fault we're not hitting they get

743
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 3: the big two to one win today though, three and two. Uh,

744
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: thus far on the campaign.

745
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: What about Aaron Judge, how does he fit into this?

746
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: Well, Aaron Judge, go back, Yeah, I mean, go back

747
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 3: to the World Series and dropping a fly ball like

748
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: another famous Aaron, he carried a flag for team USA

749
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 3: and for his team. I go back to Aaron Rodgers

750
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 3: running out a football field and after four and after

751
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 3: four snaps, we were yelling it's broke, it's broke, and

752
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 3: down he went. And two years of terrible work from

753
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 3: my guy Jason Smith and the Jets, and now for

754
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers in the World Baseball Classic failed in the

755
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 3: big game against uh for the eventual championship. He and

756
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 3: schwar were both famously striking out repeatedly, and now it's

757
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: carried into a degree into the regular season because remember

758
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 3: on opening.

759
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 5: Day, So what you're saying strikeouts. The only resolution for

760
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 5: the Yankees is to hire Mike Tomlin to fix this thing.

761
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 3: Now, your name's Aaron, right, Yeah, I didn't know where

762
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 3: that was. Was your week going? Yeah?

763
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know what I did.

764
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't touch the US flags.

765
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: Yes, I will respect the flat, but I will not

766
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: touch it or run with it.

767
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 3: But I mean yukon one, So I mean that karma

768
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 3: didn't rub off on you. I mean both the men.

769
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 4: In American flag. Nope.

770

Speaker 5: And I got all ten fingers and ten toes and

771
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: both limbs and everything's working as of right now. So

00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 5: we just got a full medical report, no hip of

773
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: violations because he offered that generously himself at Aaron Underscore
