16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: in the books. It's kind of fun, right, kind of fun.

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: And you know, there's there's industry things that we talk

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: about too much on radio, and there's you know, it's

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: like we've talked about the changing of announcers, the changing

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: of broadcast, broadcast networks, let's just be honest. It was

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: a little bit weird to have to see the Peacock

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: and NBC broadcasting last night's games, and you know, some

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: of the tone, and obviously Mike Turco just has such

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: a warm and inviting voice. But then you hear, you know,

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, and you're like, wait a second, I'm so

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: used to hearing Reggie Miller usually with TNT, and people

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: don't pay that much attention to allow of the play

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: by play voices. It kind of feels like the same thing.

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: There was one difference. Michael Jeffrey Jordan was involved. Now

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: he's not at the desk, he's not charge. I was Barkley.

31
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: He's Jordan. He's doing his own thing. He's sitting in

32
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: a in a chair basically getting interviewed by Mike Turico,

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: and that's how they're going to present him. And of

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: course he gave you one classic Jordan confident sort of

35
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: moment right where he talked about shooting a free throw

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: in front of some kids at some house that he rented,

37
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: and and you know, well, here's the story.

38
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: Do you haven't pick up a ball and to shoot?

39
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: I haven't picked up a ball in years? Come on.

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: Just like walk past. There's got to be a hoop

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: somewhere at your place. You don't see a hoop anywhere

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: around here. I don't.

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: It's the last time you pick up a basketball and shot.

44
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: I was at the right a cup.

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I rented a house from from the owner. Sure,

46
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: he came over to do pictures and grandkids, and I

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: was beating greet and thank him for allowing me to

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: stay in the house. He and he had a basketball court.

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: He says, I want you to shoot one free throw.

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: I said, really, I already paid for the already paid

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: for the house. It's likely you got to see me.

52
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: So when I stepped up to shoot your free throw,

53
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: it's the most nervous I've been in year.

54
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: Stop it in years, Stop it come on.

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: The reason being is those kids heard the stories from

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: the parents about what I did thirty years ago, right,

57
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: So the expectation is thirty years prior and I haven't

58
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: touched the basketball. I hope you switched it. Absolutely.

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: So there's the there's the Jordan Larry Bird. Of course,

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I still got a kid sort of moment. This is

61
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. So here's

62
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I'm gonna give you a

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: couple thoughts and then all of it. We all have

64
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: thoughts on this because I know we were on a

65
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: little group text chain and guys have different feelings about

66
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: different things. The first is it's brilliant to have Jordan involved.

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Back when NBC had the NBA and the NBA was king,

68
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: it was because of Michael Jordan, So I know, you know,

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Jay Steuws said he saw it was forty million dollars

70
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: for him. It's worth every penny. It just is. It

71
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: brings automatic credibility to what you do. And I get

72
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: that Magic Johnson was a complete has been a complete

73
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: waste of time with NBC with the ESPN when he's

74
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: been broadcasting. It doesn't bring credibility. I got it. But

75
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: remember that was with ESPN who already had it, and

76
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: they put Magic Johnson up on the desk where he

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: has to be an analyst. And that's not what Magic

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: Johnson does. It's just not so for NBC. It it's

79
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: just like the reason that they they purchased back what's

80
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the song called a hoop? Uh? What is that called

81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: round ball rock? Right? Round ball Rock? Actually, Fox Sports

82
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: FS one least the rights to round Ball Rock, and

83
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: then NBC bought it back. And the whole reason you have, Jordan,

84
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: the whole reason you have round Ball Rock is to

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: kind of wake up those you know, memories in your

86
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: mind of thirty years ago, back when the NBA was king.

87
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: It was great, and then the actual product of the

88
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: NBA last night was also outstanding. And what happens with

89
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: the NBA is the same thing that's happened with baseball,

90
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: and in some ways it's converse to what's happened in

91
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. And Jason, you yourself pointed out all the time,

92
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: like anybody, the NFL is almost laughing at the fact

93
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: that we'll watch any game, no matter how bad that

94
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Seattle game was on Monday night, people are still gonna watch.

95
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: Why it's the NFL is like I got some money out,

96
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I got a fantasy football, I gotta watch it. But

97
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the product is far inferior to the perception of the product,

98
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: Whereas in baseball, the perception is it's boring, it's slow. Oh,

99
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: it's unathletic, and it isn't as fast as the other

100
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, hockey obviously, even but basketball and football. But

101
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: it's way fast as it used to be. It's way

102
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: more athletic than used to be, and it's really exciting.

103
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: The pitch clock works, the new bases work, the new

104
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: rules work, and then it's brought back athleticism and rallies

105
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: back into the game. The same thing for the NBA.

106
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: The perception is they don't care. Perception is they don't

107
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: play defense and all they do is shoot threes. It's

108
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: like a bad old man pickup game. You dribble down

109
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: and shoot a three. Brother in law ball, meaning you

110
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: don't guard me, I don't guard you. And if you

111
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: watched last night the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder,

112
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: they were garden the whole night and Houston wasn't far behind,

113
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: and the game goes into you know, into overtime, and

114
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: it's a hard fought feels like a playoff game, unbelievable intensity.

115
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: But if you didn't watch, you're like, eh, they just

116
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: shout a bunch of threes and don't play hard until

117
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: the last five minutes of the game. We can pick

118
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: apart and talk about the broadcast, but I would say

119
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: that the actual game was a really good fun watch

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: where they it was the opposite of what you would

121
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: assume those teams played hard and played great defense and

122
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: were super super competitive. And as far as the NBC thing,

123
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I think it's I just feel like it's one of

124
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: those we make a way, big, way bigger deal of

125
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: it than should actually be made. I do think that

126
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: when they get to some of the other networks, you know,

127
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: the Amazon Brian, they have so many people who have

128
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: never done TV before and their big names, I don't

129
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: think it'll be particularly good, much like Amazon's Thursday Night package,

130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: which some guys have grown into being quality andless some

131
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: just aren't very good. But it's really hard when you

132
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: have all new people. I think Amazon run into this,

133
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: but NBC feels like Turner Light having Tariko, who's just

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: solid and steady, and whether you like or don't love

135
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, his voice is synonymous. I know. Yeah. By

136
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: the way, the last time Reggie Miller was playing and

137
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: it was interesting was when Jordan played it well and

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: NBC had had the rights had the rights byr what'd

139
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: you think of Jordan's part of it?

140
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: I did not see it live. I only consumed it

141
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: via social media. So the point that someone made on

142
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: social media and I can't remember who it was was

143
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 4: there's this whole excitement about Jordan being rolled out, and

144
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: is this just a sit down with him for three

145
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: hours and then going to play various segments throughout the

146
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: year Like that was my question. I thought it was entertaining.

147
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: I thought it was it was put together very well.

148
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: But if this is we're going to see the same

149
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: setup of Toego at Jordan in January, just reminiscing or

150
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: talking about certain things, then I don't know if if

151
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: that's what we all thought it was going to be.

152
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: But I thought the three minutes that I saw, I

153
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: thought we're entertaining.

154
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: And then did you notice any difference in the actual

155
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: game broadcast?

156
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: I looked at like the score bug was actually something

157
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: that I looked at. I'm like, all right, how does

158
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: this feel? I did get a little different sense. It

159
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: did feel like it was on network TV as opposed

160
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: to say ESPN or TNT. And I know it's easy

161
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: to take shots at ESPN for stuff, but I felt

162
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: that last night's game felt more like an event. And

163
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes ESPN's broadcast are this is what's

164
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: coming up after PTI, and so I felt like it

165
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: was a bigger sort of sort of event last night.

166
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 5: Jase do I saw the same thing Dan did on

167
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: social media, So either it was one person or it

168
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 5: was like an amalgamation of a lot of people, Like

169
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 5: this is what the Jordan piece is. I had to

170
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 5: check and he gets forty million bucks a year to

171
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 5: do this. Remember when it first came out that they

172
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: were adding him, my opinion was that it's going to

173
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: diminish what his reputation is if he's up there doing

174
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 5: analysis work, Like do we really want to see this

175
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: mysterious guy who's so cool, he's everything Lebron wants to

176
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: be reputation wise, Why would he go on TV and

177
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 5: tarnish that by giving us hot takes. I'm glad they're

178
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: not doing that. But to Dan's point, they're just going

179
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: to cut up interview segments with to Rico and paying

180
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: forty million bucks. The part that's incredible to me is

181
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: that Twitter is a cesspool. Twitter finds the negative in everything.

182
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: If you want to see something that you hate being bashed,

183
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 5: you go to Twitter. It runs like ninety nine percent

184
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 5: positive on Jordan last night. Everyone loved it, all the

185
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 5: blue check marks. They loved it. Love Jordan. I will

186
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 5: call bus on one thing. The interview opened this way.

187
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: You let us bring a camera two to your place

188
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: here to talk to you about basketball.

189
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: Why do you want to share what you're thinking about basketball? Now?

190
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: It's pay it forward?

191
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: You know, I have an obligation to the game of basketball,

192
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 3: not financially.

193
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm okay.

194
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean I think more or less from me from

195
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: as a basketball player is to be able to pass

196
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: on messages of success and dedication to the game of basketball.

197
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 5: I think that sounds good. I think it's laughable, and

198
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 5: if you believe it, you're not smart. I think instead

199
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 5: of pay it forward, he should have said, pay it

200
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 5: into my bank account. So there's motivations for him be

201
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 5: doing this, I think are laffable. He would have done

202
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: it much sooner. But that those are my thoughts.

203
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: Sam, did you watch No, I didn't watch a lick

204
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 6: of basketball last night. I did just catch the same

205
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 6: clip that Dan was talking about, and I do find

206
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 6: it funny pay it forward, the forty million to me

207
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 6: paid forward? No, it'll be I agree with everybody's points.

208
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 6: I think the more than Michael Jordan opens his mouth

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 6: will probably be like, there'll be more, you know, opinions

210
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 6: swaying either way on him and uh. In terms of

211
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 6: Peacock's production, I've only seen football. I love it, but

212
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 6: I haven't seen any basketball yet.

213
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: He's doing it for the for the same reason why

214
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: the last dance came out he has. He has creative control.

215
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna tell a story where he misses

216
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: a free throw like no, and then and then.

217
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: That's that's a great that's a great point.

218
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: So that's I Also, do you guys notice on the graphic,

219
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: because it was plainly obvious that the way that the

220
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: graphic is constructed, the Roman numeral of six is highlighted.

221
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: So you see this VI I for the six championships,

222
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: you guys notice that, yes, yes, So again it's a reminder.

223
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 4: I've won six titles. So if you just look at

224
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: the graphic of what is it insights to whatever it

225
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: is on the bottom part. And even when the graphic

226
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: is put in motion, the v I that is formed

227
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: from the logo is highlighted. And so that to me

228
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: tells me all we need to know about why he's

229
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 4: doing this. This is a reminder. And Doug, you tweeted,

230
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: this is my king hook line and sinker Doug's on

231
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 4: the hook that's what this is about.

232
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: Totally again, I'm just I could, I could, I could

233
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: try and like decipher it. Now I'm gonna defend. And

234
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit in the pod.

235
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: The POD's available at the top of the third hour

236
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: stug Outleb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I point

237
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: out that George W. Bush, when he gets paid and

238
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: he gets paid a ton of money to go speak somewhere,

239
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: this is what he does. He sits in the couch

240
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: and somebody interviews him and he just tells stories. And

241
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I actually think that's genius because of exactly what Ja

242
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Stu said, where put him on the desk, make him

243
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: analyze something, and that's hard, that is really really difficult.

244
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Not what he does now, he's just being Michael Jordan.

245
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: And I'll also defend him with the forty million dollars

246
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: he's making. When you're Michael Jordan, you can't give you

247
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: can't give away, you can't give it up for free.

248
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: That's just you just cannot. Because the second it gets

249
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: out that Michael Jordan is doing something for half his

250
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: normal rate, then all of a sudden, all the vultures

251
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: are coming, Hey, you did it for NBC for you know,

252
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: way less than your normal rate. No, no, no, if

253
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: you want Michael Jordan, you have to pay Michael Jordan prices.

254
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: So I do not agree with you. Jase stew I

255
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: understand that he's sitting there going, but he really doesn't

256
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: have to do it. He doesn't have to do it.

257
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: He's just doing what Peyton Manning did, what Pey man

258
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: does the same thing. He doesn't want to broadcast games

259
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: in a booth, he doesn't want to be in a desk,

260
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: but he wants talk about football, wants to stay relevant,

261
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: so he does the Manning cast and this is his

262
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: way of staying relevant, making money, being involved, also continuing

263
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: to remind people I'm still the greatest of all time

264
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: and this is the network that is most associated with

265
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: the time in which I was great.

266
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: Yes, Dan, here's here's where the Jordan this is. I

267
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: wasn't a Jordan hater, just never was a Jordan fan.

268
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: Jordan wants this again that he's giving back to basketball.

269
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 4: The last dance videos were set on for how many years,

270
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: twenty two years before they were actually released, and we

271
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: have talked about why they were released at that point,

272
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 4: and it's because Lebron James was encroaching in on Jordan's

273
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: reign as possibly the greatest player ever. So now we

274
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: have this ten part documentary series. COVID was separate of that,

275
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: Like this thing was in the works, it was moved

276
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: up because of COVID the release, but they were going

277
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 4: to release this ten part doc because Jordan finally gave

278
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: the okay to it. And he talks about giving back

279
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: to basketball. As the owner of Charlotte Hornets. I vividly

280
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: remember their season starting and he mentioned the Ryder Cup

281
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: of Jordan being at a Ryder Cup when his Hornets

282
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 4: were starting a season at one point, and to me,

283
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: that was, all right, where are your priorities then? Do

284
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: you really want to be? You know, you're giving back

285
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: to basketball? May have been Let's make the Charlotte Hornets

286
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: an actual winner, Let's turn them into something. And so

287
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: that's why I always think this stuff is a bit

288
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: contrived when it comes to Jordan. I also set you

289
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: guys the images on the group text of the logo.

290
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: I saw. It's actually really cool. But again, these are

291
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the type of things that make a guy of his

292
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: ego super excited about doing it. Hey man, you know

293
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: check this out. It's actually a really good touch. It's

294
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: a really really good touch. Speaking of pros. Doug Ottlip

00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: you know what's coming next, right, big boy?

310
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: Right, that's Midwest living for you.

311
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Doug.

312
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, you get like a handful of days or like

313
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 6: seventies sunny and then.

314
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: I got a I gotta share with you guys. A

315
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: quick story is Doug Goatlip Share on Fox Sports trailer.

316
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the midway in a second. When

317
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: you're when you're coaching, you know, sometimes you get in

318
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: a coach mode like yelling screamer because they just they

319
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: frustrate the hell out of you because you're like, well,

320
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: I taught you to do this, you're not doing it yet,

321
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: And it takes a while for stuff to resonate, and

322
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: everything else is going on. One guy's hurt and this

323
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: guy's got this whatever. So I was trying to come

324
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: up with an analogy for my team. I just again,

325
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: I this is what it's really like. Okay. So obviously

326
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: we play and we play a crazy schedule if you

327
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: know anything about college basketball. Obviously we open at Kansas,

328
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: one of the best programs, if not the best program

329
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: in the country. Uh, but we play we only play

330
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: three non conference home games. We're gonna play Yale. They're

331
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: picked to win the IVY League. We're gonna play Santa Barbara.

332
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: They're picked to when the bick to when the the

333
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: what was the Big West?

334
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: Uh?

335
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: We likely play College at Charleston. Uh, they're picked to

336
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: win I think the CIA. We play Saint Thomas. They're

337
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: picked to win the Summit League, and they did in

338
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: the Summon League last year. Like it's it's really hard

339
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: and the only way in which you can really be

340
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: effective offensive, and you're watching the magic to the Warriors

341
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: is that despite the twenty four second shot clock, they

342
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: move it side to side. The more passes, the higher

343
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: of the shopper centers, the higher your efficiency. And so

344
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: I was trying to describe this to my team, So

345
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: I said, hey, here's what you guys are. Okay, you

346
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: guys are the high school or early college kid who

347
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: the second you see a girl and you start or

348
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: you think you can make out with a girl, you

349
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: start trying to take off all your clothes. Guys, you

350
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: gotta talk to him on the phone. You gotta text him,

351
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: you gotta take him out to dinner. You gotta be chivalrous,

352
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: you gotta establish a relationship. Right, You got to kind

353
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: of go through some stages and then the other stuff

354
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: kind of takes care of itself. Offensive basketball is much

355
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: the same way, right. We can't just every time we

356
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: come down try and just score right away. I don't know.

357
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: I was really proud of my analogy. The today guys

358
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: are dying guys came literally came in the office like coach,

359
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: I get it now, I get it, but like, no, no, no,

360
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: you don't get it because I was once a twenty

361
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: something year old guy and it was how quickly can

362
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: we go from A to Z? Right? Come on?

363
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: Yes, I do remember a quote from John Wooden saying

364
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 4: that for play in basketball is so important. So well

365
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: he said it gets like a lot of hype. But

366
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: also I think it was him saying that for play

367
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 4: is the key to success.

368
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: Well, that was actually the thing. I couldn't remember the word,

369
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: and I made sure this is the this is the

370
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: slowly maturing Doug guy. We made sure to look around. Okay,

371
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: those in the gym oh nose a him. Yes, he

372
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: said be quick, but don't hurry, and for play is

373
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: one of the keys to success. That's actually most people

374
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: only use half the quote. Dan, that's the problem.

375
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 6: That's effect You got the reas because it doesn't matter

376
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 6: that the means to it.

377
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: So you got to meet them on their level. That's

378
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. This is the Doug Gotlip Show reminder.

385
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's pulling off one of the all time heists.

386
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Like he all he has to do is sit in

387
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: his chair and answer questions, and he gets forty million

388
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: dollars for being Michael Jordan. Welcome to being Michael Jordan. Right.

389
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Bet downside is can't go out and eat dinner without

390
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: people harassing you and telling you about where they were

391
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: when you hit a shot. Good news is you can

392
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: literally stay home, sit in your chair. When NBC get

393
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: gets the rights, answer a couple questions. You get forty

394
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. I think the trade off of privacy,

395
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,119

401
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: He's not getting the middle.

402
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: It's time for.

403
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: Midway. Is the Midway brought to you by Tyreck for

404
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: forty years, tyrec'span helpic customers or how, what and where

406
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: back by free road as protection with Covenian slation options

407
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: like mobile tireslation tyrat dot com the way tire buying

408
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: should be. He is the man of many opinions, most

409
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: of them negative. Let's turn over to Jase.

410
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 5: Too today, gentlemen, for the group text. I sent this

411
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 5: out for the Midway. Uh, what is the one storyline

412
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 5: you are most interested about here with the new NBA season?

413
00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: Now?

414
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: I'd like to do just one, don't stam it up,

415
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 5: just one and then drill.

416
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 7: Downga Doug, I'll take it from here.

417
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: Can I go first? The Midway?

418
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 5: Dan Byer, what do you think?

419
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 4: I think that it is Janis and Tetecumpo's future or

420
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 4: possibly lack thereof. In Milwaukee, it was a storyline throughout

421
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: the season that went silent and then all of a

422
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: sudden recently because of Janis's comments him saying that he

423
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: did not have a or did not recall a meeting

424
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: with ownership. It said that he was committed to Milwaukee.

425
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 4: If the Bucks season turns on its head, which it

426
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: shouldn't do because of a variety of reasons. But if

427
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 4: the season turns on its head, it's what does Milwaukee

428
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 4: do with Yannis who wants to get in the mix.

429
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 4: And this may go on all the way until next

430
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: summer as well, But I think watching the state of

431
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: the Bucks in Yanis this year because it truly feels

432
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: that if there was an opportunity for him to leave

433
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: Milwaukee for a different team, that now may be that time.

434
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: And I think that that that decision is is so

435
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 4: huge and will not only linger through the beginning of

436
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 4: the season, the middle of the season leading up to

437
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 4: the trade deadline, and then if he's not dealtic goes

438
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: all the way into next season. So that is the

439
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: story that I think is in my mind, a huge,

440
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: huge story in the NBA this year.

441
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Literally back up what Dan said, where obviously came out

442
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: that the Knicks wanted him and like he wants, he

443
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: only wants to play for the Knicks right outside of

444
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's what he says, This reminds me of so many

445
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: court room dramas we've seen growing up. Right, he opened

446
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: the door right. Once you open the door. Now, you

447
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: open the door to Okay, well, if it's not New York,

448
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: there's got to be somewhere else, or if New York

449
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: doesn't ultimately achieve under Mike Brown, then that move will

450
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: be made even if the ask is I'm I completely

451
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: agree with you that that's one of the two biggest storylines.

452
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: And once you open that door now it allows for

453
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: no one denied that story. That's the whole thing about

454
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: that story. There is no one who came out and goes,

455
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: that's not true. We weren't interested in moving, We weren't

456
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: interested we there's no discussion. Nobody denied it. So it

457
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: is out there, and once it's out there, the door

458
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: is open. Once the door is open, very very difficult,

459
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: if impossible, to close.

460
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 4: Yes, Dan, I also think that there's if you had

461
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: this conversation, say five six years ago, Jannis in his

462
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 4: young prime, that didn't seem like it was feasible. And

463
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 4: it was also a time where the NBA you didn't

464
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 4: think a team like the Milwaukee could win a championship. Sure,

465
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: so Milwaukee ends up winning one with Giannis, but it's

466
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 4: also now the fact because of the second apron because

467
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 4: we've seen the volatility now of NBA champions It's no

468
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: longer a long shot for some of these teams in

469
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: the NBA to try to build a team and build

470
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: a winner, where previously, if you were to give up

471
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 4: Giannis and you were the Bucks, you would have no

472
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: shot because you couldn't compete in free agency, you couldn't

473
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 4: compete with these other teams. Now I think it's completely

474
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 4: different in that manner. In that manner, and now you

475
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 4: have Milwaukee who maybe does need a fresh start, and

476
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: Giannis who maybe does say, yeah, I'd kind of like

477
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: to see where it is somewhere else because I want

478
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 4: to win another championship somewhere and if it's not going

479
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: to be here. Back then, it seemed like there was

480
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: no way a trade like this could possibly happen. And

481
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: I think now you have a reason to say that

482
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: both sides could be motivated to make a deal depending

483
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: on how things go, especially with the stuff for grabs

484
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: this year.

485
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: Eas step for grabs is a big, big, big thing. Okay,

486
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: let me give you mine, guy. Where's Lebron James finished

487
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: this season?

488
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 8: Right?

489
00:26:54,760 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: Is Lebron James hurt or is he injured? Right? And

490
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: if you remember, it's a obviously an all sports expression,

491
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: but probably first brought to the forefront with the program,

492
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: that old movie, the program. Anyway, if you heard, get

493
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: back out there, if you're injured, go see a doctor.

494
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: We use that today. I'm not questioning whether or not

495
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: his sciatic hurts, but it's Lebron James. Okay, And did

496
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: you notice last night? Last year? Okay, last year, Jay

497
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: su what happened? Opening night? Bronni played and we were

498
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: and we were told that Bronni is gonna gonna be

499
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: a rotation player year two. Anybody see the box score

500
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: last night?

501
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: I thought the same thing during the game.

502
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Didn't take off the sweats, didn't pee a drop nothing.

503
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: You know why, because he can't play at that level.

504
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: And the only reason they did it was to pacify Lebron.

505
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: And it's pretty obvious that they're over Lebron, right, and

506
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: they're over Lebron because of crap. Like last night we

507
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: got Opening night against the Golden State Warriors. We traded

508
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: for one of the great players now and in the

509
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: future of the game. And you can't play, you can't dress,

510
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: you can't run up and down because you're psiatic hurts.

511
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: We're never gonna but we're not playing your kid again.

512
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: That ain't happening. We're the laughing stock in the league.

513
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: By the way, Marcus, no one can wreck a watch

514
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: of a game like Marcus Smart. I mean, look, I

515
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: love him, he's a warrior to played for my alma mater.

516
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: But it is awful to watch all that flopping and

517
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff he does. It's like he flops, gets

518
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: a charge, then they go down the other end, then

519
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: they flop to and it's like it's just the word.

520
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart is the absolute worst watch ever ever. That

521
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: stuff is so over the top and so done. The

522
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: only thing more done is the Lakers with Lebron He's

523
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: like he's monitoring the situation. We're monitoring the situation. Do

524
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: you want to play or not want to play? If

525
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: you don't play, fine, sorry, ain't no play an ord

526
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: about it. But Luca's got it. We're all right. You know, hey,

527
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: guess what had you played last night? We probably beat

528
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: the Warriors, or if we can trade it and get

529
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: anything of value, we probably beat the Warriors. By the way,

530
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: what's the big guy from the the Lakers who said

531
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna try and get a Slovenian passport. What the

532
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: kid from Texas Jackson Ja Sorry, yeah, oh Jackson Hayes.

533
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: He came out and he said he's he's gonna get

534
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: to Slovenian's He's gonna try and get a Slovinian passport

535
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: so you can play with him on the national team.

536
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: I will say this, something stood out to me last

537
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 4: night and it had Lebron James effect as well. It

538
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: was fun watching Steph Curry. Steph Curry is now in

539
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: the old guys group. Yeah, and he's not the He's

540
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: still a huge star. My point is is there's a

541
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: point where old guys like us really up to other

542
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 4: old guys in the league because they're still doing it.

543
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

544
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 4: Like, even if you hated Tom Brady, you're I think

545
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 4: at some point you're like, wow, it's not with the

546
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 4: Patriots anymore. And look at him at forty four. We

547
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 4: aren't that way with Lebron. We aren't looking at him

548
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: in a warm fashion. Now there may be NBA Twitter

549
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 4: guys that will say, man, look at what Lebron's doing

550
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 4: in season twenty three at gonna be forty one years old.

551
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: I go, yeah, Like, there's there's not the warming up

552
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: to lebron Well, it's because of stuff like this, Yes, absolutely.

553
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: Stuff like this. I'm just telling you, like when I

554
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: saw that Bronni didn't play, and it's the siatic And

555
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: then he's if you've seen him out here there everywhere. Again,

556
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: I'm not doubting that his back hurts. I actually had

557
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: a sciatic problem like my sophomore year in high school. Right,

558
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: just get this nerve thing in your back. You don't know.

559
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: It feels like a two worn hamstring, feels like you're

560
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: killing your back. I get it. And he's one of

561
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: the greatest, if not the greatest in some people's minds,

562
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: basketball player ever. And if you're not right, you don't go.

563
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: But dude, it's opening night and you offered no desire,

564
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: opportunity and everything. Everything we're hearing is he's hurt. He's

565
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: not injured. He could be going. He's just throwing a

566
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: hissy pit and trying to make his point about you

567
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: can't win without me. That's what he's doing. And if

568
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers really cared, they would have thrown Brownie in

569
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: there last night. They don't. They don't. What about you, guys,

570
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: what about you?

571
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 5: Jaysetu there's so many stories. But if you put a

572
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 5: gun to my head, if you waived a gun on

573
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: social media and then you placed it to my head,

574
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 5: I would say that Jah Morant is my favorite story

575
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: wine going into this season. He has missed upwards. I

576
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: think of seventy games over the past two seasons, and frankly,

577
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 5: I don't care or know where the suspensions end and

578
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: the injuries begin. I don't know. He's largely just unavailable.

579
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: When he gets onto the court, he does something really

580
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: stupid and Adam Silver has to remove him and suspend him.

581
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: When he's on the court, he gets injured. He said

582
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 5: the other day he wants to play eighty two games. Well,

583
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: he's never played more than sixty seven. That was his

584
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: rookie season, and he has yet to show us that

585
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 5: he has matured. Remember that one just complete ruse of

586
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: an interview when Jalen Rose sat down with him in

587
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 5: two years and really held his feet to the fire.

588
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Is so bad.

589
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 5: He skated on that. He has skated on the suspension since,

590
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: has yet to really prove to us that he's learned anything.

591
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 5: But when he's playing, he's one of the most exciting

592
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 5: players in basketball. I think right, Yeah, I haven't.

593
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: It's been years since we got quit crazy on job

594
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: morand but yes, kind of my head, that's a story.

595
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean Zion Williamson kind of in that job Moran, Right, Yeah,

596
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: I think that's honestly. Look, and I want to say,

597
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm want to hear yours. It's one of the things

598
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: hurt in the NBA is Okay, we have this group

599
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: of guys that are clearly over the hill, right So

600
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: that's Lebron. You got Lebron, you got Steph kd. Giannis

601
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: is sort of working his way there sort of maybe

602
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: not fully whatever, but that that group, right is is

603
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: getting older. But you had a couple of these young

604
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: ones and Jaw and Zion are guys that weight injury

605
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: off the court just killing them. And that next wave,

606
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: that next generation. That's why these the foreign players continue

607
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: to take over because they don't seem to I mean, yeah,

608
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: with Luca it's been weight, but it hasn't affected him

609
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: that much. And obviously with the with Giannis and Jokic, right,

610
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: they're dominant players that take care of themselves and don't

611
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: have off the court issues. So that's as much the

612
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: reason for the European takeover as anything else, and that

613
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: is the Midway.

618
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: and today is a Wednesday. That means we are two

619
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: days away from the World Series. And the guy who's

620
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: joined us all season long, the guy who you should

621
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: listen to. He's our Fox Sports Radio MLB insider and

622
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: reporter for the MLB Network, John Morosi joins us here

623
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio, and John,

624
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: I think the first thing that pops up in most

625
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: people's minds with the level of dominance that the Dodgers

626
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: had in the NLCS versus the unbelievable ending to the

627
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: alcs's the rest versus rust, what are the Dodgers doing

628
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: to prepare themselves for the World Series? Considering the amount

629
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: of time that they've.

630
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 8: Had off, well, Dougan Afternoon Happy World Series coming up

631
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 8: a great time of the year, it does seem to

632
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 8: me that Dodgers has done a pretty good job of

633
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 8: planning out this time. The best they can. It certainly

634
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 8: has been an issue for teams in the past when

635
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 8: when you're not playing for a while, that can be

636
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 8: a real challenge. I covered multiple Detroit Tigers World Series

637
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 8: in which they were they had the longer layoff and

638
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 8: really suffered from it. I do think it advantages the

639
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 8: Dodgers that, yes, they can have a couple of workouts

640
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 8: at Dodger Stadium and then you've got to make the

641
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 8: travel to go to the next city to begin the

642
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 8: World Series on the road. So it's not as though

643
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 8: they're getting too stale by staying at home for too long.

644
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 8: And of course it does help this team. Many of

645
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 8: the players Doug had a very similar experience just a

646
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 8: year ago being in the World Series. So this seems

647
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 8: to me to be a Dodger team that's going to

648
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 8: be able to handle this long layoff before Game one.

649
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: Okay, does the rotation change at all concidering the amount

650
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: of time off, No, it.

651
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 8: Doesn't, and nor should it. I think that they're gonna

652
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 8: have to begin this World Series Blake snow starting out

653
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 8: Yoshinobu Yamamoto with Game two. Dave Roberts has confirmed that

654
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 8: much of it I would expect we'll see a similar

655
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 8: plan with Tyler Glass now and showe a Otani in

656
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 8: Games three and four. There are very few teams, Doug,

657
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 8: that have the type of starting depth that the Dodgers do.

658
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 8: And I think we should be clear and saying that

659
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 8: it wasn't always apparent that they would have had this

660
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 8: amount of depth during the course of the season, because

661
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 8: they had different injuries that they that they incurred, other

662
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 8: things that happened to them during the course of the

663
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 8: year where they had to build up this depth as

664
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 8: time gradually went along. But now that they've got it,

665
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 8: now that Yamamoto has dialed in, now that Blake Snell

666
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 8: is pitching like a Saia winner again, They've They've got

667
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 8: o Tani, by the way, pitching Game four, for goodness

668
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 8: sake told me. They have so much depth right now.

669
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 8: And I think that bullpen has gotten into a good

670
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 8: space too, to where sure, yes, Toronto has what I

671
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 8: would say is a very good contact oriented lineup, but

672
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 8: they're running up against one of the best swing and

673
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 8: missstaffs that we have ever seen, frankly, Doug in recent years.

674
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let let's uh, let's dig in the to the

675
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: Otani thing. He didn't hit particularly, he didn't hit hardly

676
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: at all, right, and then all of a sudden he

677
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: has this unbelievable performance. We look back on last year's

678
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: World Series and the Yankees did a really good job,

679
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: really good job on him. What what Obviously it fell

680
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: apart in Game four, But what were the Brewers? What

681
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: are the Yankees? What are these teams done to stifle

682
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: one of the greatest hitters, if not the greatest hitter

683
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: of all time.

684
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 8: Well, it's trying to keep him uncomfortable, Doug, and I

685
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 8: think you can do that through a combination of a

686
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 8: couple of different elements. It's probably trying to as best

687
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 8: you can, have breaking pitches that challenge him, try to

688
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 8: get him a little bit into swing mode where maybe

689
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 8: you're you're geting him and counts where he's expecting fastball

690
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 8: and instead you flip a breaking ball in. I do

691
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 8: think trying to get him below the strike zone and

692
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 8: get him to chase a little bit is how you

693
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 8: can have success. Now, obviously that's a two part equation.

694
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 8: He's not always going to chase, but when when you

695
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 8: do get him in situations where he's got to face

696
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 8: a split, which is the main pitch of Gossmin. It's

697
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 8: the main pitch of you Savage, so he's going to

698
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 8: see it in games one and two. I think you

699
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 8: look at what's happening potentially in the in game three four,

700
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 8: I look at it and say there are enough weapons

701
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 8: that the Jays can throw at him and different types

702
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 8: of pitches on it. I thought Bieber's slider looked really

703
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 8: good in the second of his two starts there against

704
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 8: the Mariners in the American League Championship Series. So even

705
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 8: though you don't have the kind of lefties that you

706
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 8: would love to run up against Otani, and maybe that's

707
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 8: gonna put a little bit of a burden on the

708
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 8: Toronto bullpen. I do think when when the Jays are

709
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 8: when the Jay's pitchers are in form, you do have

710
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 8: the types of guys like Bieber and you Savage in particular,

711
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 8: who can be a little bit split neutral, and so

712
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 8: I think that their their ability to locate the splitter

713
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 8: down under the zone, disguise it like a fastball and

714
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 8: get Otani in swing mode. That's when you can add

715
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 8: success getting him out of the zone. If you're giving

716
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 8: him fastballs in the zone, you might as well forget

717
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 8: about it because he's just going to crush those and

718
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 8: and I think if you try to elevate a fastball,

719
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 8: he can get on top of that as well as anybody.

720
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 8: We saw him hit a ball out of the stadium

721
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 8: at Dodgers Stadium. This is these are just other worldly

722
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 8: superhero things that Otani is doing. So I think that

723
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 8: the key thing is going to be, especially for a

724
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 8: team that has all right handed starting pitchers, Doug, They're

725
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 8: gonna have to locate their secondary stuff down. And I

726
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,439
Speaker 8: think that where Goslin got in trouble the first time

727
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 8: he started was when he had that that splitter a

728
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 8: little bit too high to cal Raley. If you have

729
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 8: things that are thigh high, so Tani is just it's

730
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 8: not going to work. You've got to be down out

731
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 8: of his own and then find ways to get him

732
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 8: to chase s.

733
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, John Morosi

734
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: is joining us. On the other side, you have Vlad

735
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior. He's he's had his own struggles in the postseason.

736
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: What are people doing to ta Vlad?

737
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 8: Well? Lad, I mean, when you look at what he's

738
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 8: been able to do the last the last round he's

739
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 8: been amazing and he's been the American League, the Championship Series, MVP.

740
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 8: I think that in terms of what the Dodgers will

741
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 8: do to him, what you I think what the book

742
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 8: is on Vlad and it's obviously been mixed results because

743
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 8: because the Mariners weren't able to always keep him in

744
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 8: the ballpark. Is he's able to hit the ball so

745
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 8: well to the opposite field, to where sometimes with certain

746
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 8: right handed hitters you're saying, well, to keep the ball

747
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 8: away from him, Well, you do that to Vladdie, He's

748
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 8: already showed he can hit the ball out of the

749
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 8: stadium to right field as well. He looks to me

750
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 8: and Doug, I covered Miguel Cabrera in Detroit for a

751
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 8: long time. He looks like early career Miguel and mcguilbert

752
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 8: is gonna be in Hall of Fame, and Lad has

753
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 8: a decent chance to join his dad in the Hall

754
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 8: of Fame, which is pretty amazing to say. So, that's

755
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 8: what I'm seeing there is is you're gonna have to

756
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 8: if if you are, if you're the Dodgers, You're not

757
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 8: gonna just be able to get him out over the plate.

758
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 8: You're gonna have to command the ball in off the

759
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 8: plate well to then earn the right to be able

760
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 8: to go outside. And I think that's that's the challenge,

761
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 8: even for a team that's got great stuff like the

762
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 8: Dodgers do as a as a group of pitchers. I

763
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 8: do think Yamamoto's stuff of all the matchups, he probably

764
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 8: fits the best in terms of the way that Yoshinobu

765
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 8: game plans. We sell them have that complete game against

766
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 8: the Brewers. I actually think Game one I like the

767
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 8: Jays chances to win Game one. Blake Snell is amazing,

768
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 8: of course, but that allows the Jays to get their

769
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 8: right handed bats in there. And while Snell is able

770
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 8: to command you know, cutter sink or he can kind

771
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 8: of move the ball around a little bit command both

772
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 8: to the plate.

773
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 3: I think that the.

774
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 8: Matchup of Laddie against Snell, the matchup of Springer against Snell,

775
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 8: I think that the I think Toronto Blue Jays have

776
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 8: a decent chance in that Game one. And we'll see

777
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 8: Doug if they end up being able to activate Boba Schett,

778
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 8: who of course has missed the initial rounds of the

779
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 8: playoffs due to a knee injury, but told me after

780
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 8: Game seven of the celebration. He is good to go

781
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 8: for the World Series. So we'll see what role, if any,

782
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 8: Bowl might have. Maybe he's gonna be more of a

783
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 8: pinch hitter type, Doug. But I'm curious to see what

784
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 8: type of decisions that Toronto Blue Jays make about Boba

785
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 8: Schet think.

786
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: About this vladd who was I mean, he hit over

787
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: four to forty in the playoffs so far, but against

788
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: lefties in the entire year regular season, three to twenty

789
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: six on base forty three percent of the time OPS

790
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: is nine to forty six. Against right He's still respectable

791
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: to eighty two on base three sixty seven and eight

792
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 1: one eight eight eighteen ops. Just so much higher against lefties,

793
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: crazy amount amount higher against lefties. So I mean, you're

794
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: talking about what is it, you know, forty three percent

795
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: of the time he's on base as opposed to thirty

796
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: seven percent of the time beyond base and then the

797
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: OPS be so higher. It's it's really interesting that That's

798
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: why I asked if they're going to keep the rotation

799
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: the way it is. But again, you have Blake's now

800
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: who's been in these big moments, right what about the

801
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen which has been the bane of our guy

802
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: Jason Stewart's existence, right, and they they did enough to

803
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: sweep the Brewers, but Game one was still very, very alarming.

804
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: What what do you think the plan is in terms

805
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: of who they're going to use in the World Series.

806
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, Doug, I let Jase two know

807
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 8: that I've got to send condolences because he's had to

808
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 8: deal with a grand total of one playoff loss this

809
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 8: whole month. I know it's been real hard on him.

810
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,439
Speaker 8: You lose one game and it's a crisis, but they're

811
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 8: actually doing okay. I think that the fact that Blake

812
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 8: Trinan has returned to the circle of trust is really

813
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 8: important because I know, obviously Blake has some struggles down

814
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 8: the stretch, and obviously the Game one against Milwaukee was

815
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 8: a little frightful for the Dodgers. There's there's a little

816
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 8: bit of I think confidence rebuilding now in him, and

817
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 8: to me, the steadiness of trying is really important in

818
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 8: the ability for Roki Sasaki to be settled now. As

819
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 8: as the late game option, and I think you credit

820
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. I know Jeff Paster wrote about this late

821
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 8: on in the season, about the kind of workshop they

822
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 8: did with Roki to get him lined up and to

823
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 8: get him better. I just thought overall, tremendous work that

824
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 8: he that Roki's been able to do to get comfortable

825
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 8: again in a late ending situation and really embrace his

826
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 8: new role. So I think that those two guys stand

827
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 8: out to me as being the most important Tryna in Sasaki.

828
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 8: And then we'll see what what bestI is able to

829
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 8: do of being a legit left handed option they've got.

830
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 8: The Jays have a number of key lefties. Lucas is

831
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 8: really important to them, Addison Barge is really important to them.

832
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 8: Dalton varshow had a huge hit in Game seven, so

833
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 8: I'm curious to see a little bit of what that

834
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 8: will mean for the overall bullpen planning now of this team. Again,

835
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 8: I think that there's there's enough depth for the Dodgers

836
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 8: to be able to navigate this, and who knows, maybe

837
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 8: in certain spots we'll see what this means later on

838
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 8: down the line. Does does Glass now pop out there

839
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 8: for an appearance here and there. But I think that

840
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 8: the success of the Dodgers in the especially in the NLCS,

841
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 8: I think was predicated largely on the fact that very

842
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 8: few pitchers had to touch the ball. Their starters got

843
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 8: so deep that the bullpen did almost didn't have an

844
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 8: opportunity to become a problem. And I think it's gonna

845
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 8: have to be a similar situation here to where the

846
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 8: starters need to go deep. And I think this now

847
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 8: feeds into what we're talking about with the Toronto Blue Jays.

848
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 8: If very to work deeper at bats, if they're able

849
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 8: to force the starters to leave after six innings instead

850
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 8: of seven, then you have to cover three more outs

851
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 8: of the bullpen, and then you're giving the Dodger bullpen

852
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 8: a chance to become a negative impact on this series.

853
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 8: If you're the Dodger, so I'll be curious to me

854
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 8: to see not just in Game one, how many runs

855
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 8: this score against now, but how many how many pitches

856
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 8: can they make him have to work through early? If

857
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 8: you could, if you get a high pitch count blakes now,

858
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, the Dodger bullpen needs to

859
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 8: be relied on a bit more, and I think that's

860
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 8: what could swing the series into Toronto's favor.

861
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, John Rossi

862
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: is our guest. You know, I was thinking, you were

863
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: talking about you like Toronto game one, and you brought

864
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: up a lot of good reasons why, And then I

865
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: was thinking again out loud, is I get the rust thing?

866
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: But if you're the Dodgers, and it's better off to

867
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: start art on the road that way, if you just

868
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: get a split, you have home field advantage when you

869
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: come back home. But but the the Blue Jays have

870
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: been great on the road, right, Look what they did

871
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 1: in Seattle. On the road they've been They've been really,

872
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: really good in the road. Is there any difference in

873
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: your mind in these venues and the ultimate and the outcomes.

874
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a great question. I think that Number one,

875
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 8: the Jays were able to play at Dodger Stadium this

876
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 8: year already once, and so I think that they don't.

877
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 8: Maybe the mystique and the and and the intimidation factor,

878
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 8: if you will, of playing at Dodger Stadium is probably

879
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 8: not as great for them as it would have been

880
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 8: if they hadn't been out there. Dodger Staateum is a

881
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 8: great environment. Toronto was one of the loudest stadiums I've

882
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 8: ever heard in my life with Finger at that home

883
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 8: run uh Seattle by the Way was also very raucous.

884
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 8: I don't think the Jays are going to experience are

885
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 8: a more raucous or more hostile environment than what they

886
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 8: experienced in Seattle already. And they also went through Yankee Stadium.

887
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 8: So I mean, with all tue respect of Dodger Stadium,

888
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 8: which is a great place to play and loud, I

889
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 8: don't think it's gonna be any scarier for the Jays

890
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 8: than what they've already experienced in New York and in Seattle.

891
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 8: I think that they've already gone through a couple quality teams,

892
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 8: They've already gone through a couple of difficult venues. They

893
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 8: split the two games in New York and they took

894
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 8: two out of three in Seattle, so they've shown they

895
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 8: can win games on the road. They're also a really

896
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 8: good home team during the course of the year. This

897
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 8: is a very close series. I think that those that

898
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 8: believe it's going to be a sweep for the Dodgers,

899
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 8: I just think that they're they're kind of missing how

900
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 8: good the Jays have been. They're also missing the quality

901
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 8: of the postseason type baseball of the Jays play, and

902
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 8: part of that is building rallies. I think one thing

903
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 8: that the Jays did better than the Mariners during the

904
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 8: ALCS was they would build a rally where it would

905
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 8: be walk, single, double, another base hit. They could build

906
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 8: in a bunt. Where the Mariners were very much home

907
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 8: run dependent. The Jays, while the biggest fing of their

908
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 8: season was a home run with Springer, they were also

909
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 8: able to build rallies and that, to me is something

910
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 8: that I think will serve them very very well against

911
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. I think we're gonna see two great atmospheres.

912
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 8: Dodger Stadium, to me, is still my favorite venue in sports.

913
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 8: It's magic, especially when you're there five o'clock Pacific time game,

914
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 8: the sun's reflecting off the San Gabriel's you realize that

915
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 8: God intended for baseball, we played at that exact place

916
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 8: at that exact time, and you're just grateful to be there.

917
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 8: So there's gonna be that magic that exists. But I

918
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 8: think what they've got at Rogers Center now, it's become

919
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 8: a state of the art venue in the last couple

920
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 8: of years, they've renovated it. The players love it there.

921
