Are either that or 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 5: he should have had Clayton Kershaw come walking out like 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 5: he was Rasor Ramone. 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: I had something of that. 26 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just, uh, they have a little conga 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 5: line going there for a minute. 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 4: Look, it started out oddly. 29 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 5: Whatever an error leads to early runs, you just start 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 5: shaking your head to going. 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 4: We could have we were with him except for that. 32 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 5: But here we are on a beautiful Friday night, USA, USA. 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 4: Not even your negativity can take us down. What are 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 4: you talking about? 35 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: Just when Aaron Judge strikes out against a kid who's 36 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: a high school pitcher, I have to say it. 37 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 4: I can't. I can't ignore it. You kind of reveled 38 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 4: in it when he's when he's. 39 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: A junior varsity freshman who tops out at sixty seven 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: and Aaron and Aaron Rodgers. 41 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: He strikes out Aaron Rodgers. 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: And when when Aaron Judge grounds into a triple play, 43 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I gotta say it, man, I can't exaggerate. 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers being in the darkness. I mean, the ball 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 5: coming from the light to the dark. I mean, that's 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 5: a difficult proposition and maybe a parlor trick that he's 47 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 5: working on. 48 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers, well there's that. 49 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: These things I gotta say exactly what's going on here? 50 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: But where we are right now, Well, that'll be it 51 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: for Keller. Apparently I curse Keller. 52 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 5: Well, I mean I think it was controlled jobs and 53 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 5: get your one out. 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: Get the Canadian fans Madden over there. 55 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you think when Keller came in they played, because 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: I can't tell that they play on the Keller in 57 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: for the United States. Canada has a lot of experience 58 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: with Keller, and they showed the game winner and the 59 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: gold medal winner in the big move. But yeah, it 60 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: was a very short appearance and a very short troll 61 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: because Brad Keller out of the game. Now he's given 62 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: up a single to drive in to help the Canada 63 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: drive in their first run of the game. Still a 64 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: five to one United States lead, but Canada on the 65 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: board here in the bottom of the sixth in the 66 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: United States bottom of the lineup, getting it done. And 67 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang's got a couple hits in RBI, Pete crow 68 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: Armstrong's got a couple hits in an RBI Logan web 69 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: pitch is fantastic. A little over four innings, first WC 70 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: pitcher to go more than four innings, strikes out five, 71 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: no runs comes out after seventy one pitches. So now 72 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: United States, they get out of this inning. You're hunting 73 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: out to get to the next round where unfortunately the 74 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: Dominican Republic is waiting. 75 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: And this is it. 76 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: Really it's like a youth sports turn to where you're going. Okay, 77 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: we won this game. Oh man, we got to play 78 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: that team next.

Uh you look, you can only beat 90 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 5: who's on the schedule, that's true. And then they've bludgeoned them. 91 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 5: They did not take them lightly. There were no managerial 92 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 5: missteps of roster management or late night pow wows to 93 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 5: celebrate a game thinking the next one, Oh, it didn't matter, 94 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 5: and all of those things.

Look, and this 140 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: is what we talked about from the beginning, right, is 141 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: that when I said, okay, where where's your weakness? 142 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 6: Right? 143 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: This is the best lineup we've seen by the United States. 144 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: The starting pitching is great, right, I maybe when we 145 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: tried out the starting pitches we have, whether it's Webb McLain, Scooble, 146 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: if he stays, if he goes skins, not a problem. 147 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 4: But the issue. 148 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: What did I say was the bullpen, because it's gonna 149 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: be a heavy bullpen game every game because you don't 150 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: have guys wh're gonna go seven innings, right, you know Skeens. 151 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 4: Isn't gonna go seven. 152 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: He's gonna throw fifty pitches in the Pittsburgh Pirates are 153 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: and Livy Dunn is gonna be on the phone going 154 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: that's it, that's it. 155 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: Right, So he's out, he's you have to take it. 156 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 4: She's training to be in the new bay Watch, you 157 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 4: know that anymore? No, I think she still I think 158 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 4: she cares. 159 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: I think they're actually doing Baywatch at the World Baseball 160 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: when they bring the theme song back. 161 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: To idat be there. You know, no, that's that's friends. 162 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: You're doing the wrong. 163 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, but what did I say was going to be 164 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: the issue for the United States was going to be 165 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: the bullpen? And here they are in already making their 166 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: presence felt in this game with two home runs giving up. 167 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 1: The United States give up a lot of home runs 168 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: ten home runs in twenty eight innings so far in 169 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: the WBC. So it's not like the United States pitching 170 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: has been great. Look, the starters have been terrific, But 171 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: this is what I was nervous about. When you get 172 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: to the bullpen, and the bullpen's are going to go 173 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: five innings at least in every game. 174 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: This is what makes me nervous. Little bit for the 175 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: United States. 176 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty insane. The uh I mean the prodigious 177 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 5: blast too. It's not cheap front row home runs here 178 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 5: that you just keep the ball in the park, man, 179 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 5: come on, work the play to little bit. I don't 180 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 5: think they're using abs here, are they They're not. They're 181 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 5: not going to the robots. But yeah, just I mean 182 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 5: that that was a no doubt or home run here. 183 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: But the margin for error for the United States has 184 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 5: just been so minimal here. 185 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about whenever we do statistical surveys 186 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: that three to five percent error range. Yeah, no, no, 187 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: we're we're we're flirting with danger at every turn. As 188 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: much as I love get them on, get them over, 189 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: get them in baseball, a couple of extra big flies 190 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: on the US side, it would be pretty nice here 191 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: because the nickel and diming has given you a marginal 192 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: lead here in the bottom of the sixth. So I'll 193 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: have more on this coming up and again bottom the 194 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: sixth in the United States.

I 233 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 5: guess that's progress. Yeah, I mean Gino's coming to town. 234 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe on this second outing he'll he'll give 235 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you something more than getting punched in the face. 236 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,719 Speaker 4: Jeana Smith is coming to town. Oh, Geno Smith is 237 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 4: coming to now.

But Jaden Bradley appears to have won 244 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: it for Arizona. 245 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: The highlight of conference championship week just a few moments ago. 246 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: Jade and Bradley of Arizona hits the game winner fallaway 247 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: at the buzzer. So now Arizona into the Big twelve 248 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: championship now after beating Iowa State, who had just hit 249 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: a big three to tie the game a couple moments ago. Look, 250 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: the excitement level of the NCAA tournament is going to 251 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: be unparallel the last decade. It's just that that kind 252 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: of year that we're having. But man, I'll tell you what, 253 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Jaden Bradley does not get a good look. He is 254 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: d'ed up incredibly well. This is a Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant. 255 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna find a way to get a shot off, 256 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: and it's gonna go. And he dribbles to the right, 257 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't have anywhere to go to the basket, and 258 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: he kind of stops in one motion fall away and 259 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: he hits it, And I just know what's gonna happen. 260 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Mike Carmen, I'm gonna once again pick Arizona to go 261 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: to the final four of my bracket and be absolutely 262 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: disappointed when it doesn't happen. 263 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, But like, I can't have an Arizona. I can't. 264 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: I can't quit Arizona and Saint John's. I'm like, I'm 265 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: gonna pick Saint John's. I can't quit these teams, man, 266 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: and I have to find a way to do it. Man, 267 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: it's like smoking. I gotta find a way. But I can't. 268 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, Arizona, they're so good this year, 269 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: and here they are on a high this and Jayden 270 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: Bradley is so good and I'm gonna find it. I'm 271 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: gonna find a way to pick Arizona again. They're gonna 272 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: lose in the second round. I'm gonna go. 273 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: I never learned. I never learned. 274 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, And then when I don't pick them, they run 275 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 5: deep into the tournament. That's just generally the way it goes. 276 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 5: And here's the thing though, if they do bow out early, 277 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 5: I have Arnie Spanier's phone number, and you can harass 278 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 5: him until you're blue in the face. Oh okay, I 279 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 5: call him and all of that stuff.

You're going off based on you know, 515 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 8: blind resumes, and like it's just not fair that you 516 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 8: know could yes, it's impossible to go thirty one and 517 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 8: oh or whatever as the floud count was before the 518 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 8: U offs the U MAS, which was like a quad 519 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 8: ninety seven loss. 520 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 6: And then you know, look at some. 521 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 8: Of these other teams who you know, they're playing tough games. 522 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 8: They're all playing quad one, big, tough, nasty games that 523 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 8: are you know, kind of make them more deserving to 524 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 8: be in. And part of the problem becomes then, all right, 525 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 8: at the end of the day. If you're a bubble team, 526 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 8: you probably don't deserve to be in a sixty eighteen field, 527 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 8: So muhu. But if you're really trying to get down 528 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 8: to it and say, okay, well, are we going to 529 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 8: judge this team that played a whole bunch of nasty 530 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 8: games or this other team that played a whole bunch 531 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 8: of absolutely nothing. I mean, Miami University really did not 532 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 8: beat anybody, but accurate, that's about That's it. That's the 533 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 8: one game that they won that was actually pretty good, 534 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 8: and that's it. And okay, if you're that good and 535 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 8: you get bounced out of the max font quarterfinals, all right, 536 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, this should be a place for Miami University. 537 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 8: But meanwhile, you know the Mount West Tonight, Luther of 538 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 8: New Mexico and San Diego State's probably out and Mount 539 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 8: West it's probably a one big conference. American's not that great, 540 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 8: but there that's probably a one bitch conference. So it's 541 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 8: I get it. I's it doesn't seem fair that you 542 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 8: can get everyone saying, well, why don't you play tough 543 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 8: games in the non conference? Well, this is why. And 544 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 8: to tack it over to football, the same sort of thing. 545 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 8: It's like everyone lets to argue, why don't you know 546 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 8: certain teams play, uh, you know good teams or why 547 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 8: do they play like Indiana as a bad non conference guy? Well, 548 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 8: why do you think you get three wins? Okay, because 549 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 8: nobody at the end of the day just keeps looking 550 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 8: at their records, and you know that's all tends to matter. 551 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 5: That And Pete, we go to our old consulting firm 552 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 5: of Smith and Harmon. 553 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 4: Here it's a TV show. 554 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 5: So is Miami, Ohio far more entertaining than Bruce Pearl 555 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 5: clamors for his child and all this other you don't Yeah. 556 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 8: You don't need twelve sec. And then that's your point 557 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 8: and the answer, and that the thing it really bothers 558 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 8: everyone is neither when it comes to and so again 559 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 8: one of the thing is, yes, of course I run 560 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 8: a football site and all that basketball with my actual 561 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 8: college basketball is actually my first love way back in 562 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 8: the day. 563 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 6: But so it is. 564 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 8: It is absolutely different. But it is amazing how everyone 565 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 8: has like different standards for how these things should be 566 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 8: done when it's based on judges. So part of the 567 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 8: problem is right now, their teams thought they're like Texas 568 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 8: and NC State and Missouri which in SMU, which you're 569 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 8: all probably in, even though they're just dying down the stretch, 570 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 8: they've been awful, like, you know, going like two and 571 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 8: seven over the last when it really counts. But that 572 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 8: game three back in November, you know, in some Mali 573 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 8: class there the Bahamas. 574 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that game. 575 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 8: Meanwhile, okay, so we're everyone's from micro analyzing that one 576 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 8: game that happened in the Tropics for the third game 577 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 8: the season back on November eleventh or whatever. In a 578 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 8: thirty thirty five game season. Meanwhile, college football plays twelve 579 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 8: ish games and not a single solitary soul remembered that 580 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 8: Alabama got crucked by Florida State in Week one. It's like, 581 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 8: it's so funny just how the memories and how these 582 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 8: different sports are are really analyzed and scrutinized, and how 583 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 8: they figure out their tournament at the end. 584 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: So what do you think, Pete, Now, yes, seeing this 585 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: because we've had the twelve team playoff in the and 586 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: the selection process now for the largest tournament that we've 587 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: had in college football, the college basketball bar from college football, 588 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: you say, you know what, this would alleviate a lot 589 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: of problems, right, Like all the tournaments. Take we're taking 590 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: too many mid majors. Where should Miami Ohio. What can 591 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: they borrow from college football that would make it better. 592 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 8: Well, the one weird, weird part about this is, like 593 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 8: college football, if you win, if you're a power for program, 594 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 8: and you win your regular season championship, you're probably going 595 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 8: to get in to while you're going to get into 596 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 8: the you know, the conference championship to begin with. But 597 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 8: I think the answer to this is for basketball is 598 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 8: honor regular season champions more because you've got these gimmicky 599 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 8: tournaments where you know, look, Miami University did go undefeated 600 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 8: over the regular season and in the conference conference season. 601 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 8: I know you had one bad game where the very 602 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 8: end and a tight, you know, pressure packed valley had 603 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 8: a bad pass at the end. Okay, one bad night. 604 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 8: You just so happen to have it on what was it, 605 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 8: Thursday night as opposed to uh, you know left you know, December, 606 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 8: and so it just doesn't seem right that Okay, we're 607 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 8: going to judge it based on this little three days 608 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 8: thing that he's seem are having as opposed to the 609 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 8: entire season. And Ta Davis could texted that tweeted this 610 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 8: out a whole bunch of time. But like the conference 611 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 8: that can pick anybody they want, they don't have to 612 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 8: take send the conference tournament champion. Now everyone does send 613 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 8: the conference tournament champion, but that would be kind of 614 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 8: the answer where, you know, if it's a neither or 615 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 8: you send Miami Universe. The otherwise you're kind of crazy 616 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 8: if you're the SEC not to be like, hey, we're 617 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 8: gonna send Auburn. Okay, so there there's our there's our 618 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 8: conference representative, and then get twelve teams in. So there 619 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 8: are ways you could do. So I would say just 620 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 8: honor the regular season champion more and then the conference 621 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 8: tournaments then just become a data point as opposed to 622 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 8: the b all end off. 623 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 5: I mean, it would be kind of cool in a 624 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 5: WWE inspired kind of thing. Smith and I also thought 625 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 5: that maybe uh, Auburn and Miami Ohio should just be 626 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: paired up for one of the plans. 627 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. 628 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 8: And that was my argument for the college football side, 629 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 8: where I'm okay with expansion in a certain way if 630 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 8: it's a plant, if it's not a you know, full line, 631 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 8: we're expanding the sixteen to it. But like this year, 632 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 8: if you had had Tallayne playing you know, Byu and 633 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 8: Games Madison playing Notre Dame or something like this. Okay, 634 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 8: you're playing to get me fought. So I do get 635 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 8: the idea of expansion where maybe you do expand it 636 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 8: and have just a massive, you know, first Tuesday, where 637 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 8: you've got all these teams that just get all the 638 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 8: one big conferences out of the way. You know, I know, 639 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 8: it's cute, that's you know, once in a while, a 640 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 8: sixteen will be a one. On the right day, maybe 641 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 8: a sixteen will be a two. But for the most part, 642 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 8: if you really want the best tournament, just have them 643 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 8: all have play a bigger play and that's how you 644 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 8: expand it. Rather than say we have a ninety sixteen 645 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 8: tournament and then you make it all exuitable, you have 646 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 8: like one day where maybe you have like six or 647 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 8: seven more teams, because really, who are we talking about 648 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 8: is getting knocked out of this thing Again, We're arguing 649 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 8: about a team that did not play anybody. We're talking 650 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 8: about a team that's in Auburn, team that really died 651 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 8: down the stretch and have sixteen watches on the season, 652 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 8: and then other teams that just really don't belong in 653 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 8: the in the NCAA tournament. They don't really get who cares. 654 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 8: They're they're not going to win the national championship. But 655 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 8: if you want the best tournament possible, which is the 656 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 8: whole goal of this thing, then you find a way 657 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 8: to do it.

But here's the thing 777 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 6: I might not be able to hear by the time 778 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,479 Speaker 6: the game is over, which is which is the best 779 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 6: kind of of an auditory complication, because it's gonna be loud. 780 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 6: It'll be loud about an hour before the game starts. 781 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 6: It'll be allowed probably about two hours after the game's over. 782 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 6: And that's how I like it in Miami. It's gonna 783 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 6: be a ton of fun. And I'll also say this 784 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 6: in terms of the semifinal wins, today, the Dominican Republics 785 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 6: looked a lot better than the United States. An emphatic 786 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 6: win for the Dominicans over Korea, the US had to 787 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 6: really fight their way to a five to three win 788 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 6: over Team Canada, in which the Americans had only one 789 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 6: extra base hit and of the five runs they scored, 790 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 6: four of them reach based on either a walk or 791 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 6: a field of choice. So it has been a grinded 792 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 6: out kind of a week the Team USA. This was 793 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 6: the first time we've seen them on the field since 794 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 6: the disappointing lost to Team Italy, and of course they 795 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 6: needed to help for Italy the next night against Mexico. 796 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 6: And yet now they have landed where we thought they 797 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 6: were going to be all along, which is in a 798 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 6: semifinal game against the Dominican Republic. So that's where they 799 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 6: probably should be. And now the excitement builds towards Sunday, 800 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 6: but it's gonna take their best game and fortunately four 801 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 6: Team USA they're best starter in my view, as the 802 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 6: man's on the mountain. That's false teams. 803 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 1: Outside of the pitching matchup right. I mean, we see 804 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: this assemblage of talent. It looks like an All Star 805 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: game top to bottom looking, I'm obviously they beat Canada. 806 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: We talked about this the beginning of the World Baseball 807 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: Classes and look, if I'm looking for one sort of 808 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 1: weakness with the United States, it's their bullpen, because you're 809 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: going to get more bullpen games, more time of the 810 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 1: bullpen here on out. You know they're gonna get five innings, 811 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: six innings in a game. We saw tonight a couple 812 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: of home runs allowed Canada to get back in this 813 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: seventy one pitches tonight for Logan Web. Same kind of 814 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: deal you expect out of schemes on Sunday as he 815 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: goo as long as they can, Like, what do you 816 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: expect to see here? 817 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 6: That's a great question, and I'm sure we'll get a 818 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 6: little more hilarity on this one as we get closer. 819 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 6: I would expect Skeens can be in the range of 820 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 6: eighty pitches, and that might sound a little aggressive, but 821 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 6: we're now not that far away from opening Day. He 822 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 6: of course, will be the Pirates opening day starter. When 823 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 6: I look at Schemes, I look at what he was 824 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 6: able to do in his first start and against Mexico, 825 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,879 Speaker 6: which I thought was so impressive. His ability to make 826 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 6: pitches and the ability to execute pitches. I thought Skiens 827 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 6: pitched one of the best games of his career. That's 828 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 6: saying something when you consider the stage and the stakes. 829 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 6: So I think eighty pitches is reasonable to me. The 830 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 6: big question now is who does Mark Trossa really trust 831 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 6: back there in the bullpen. I think that you saw 832 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 6: tonight that the big trio towards the end is Bednar, 833 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 6: Whitlock and Mason Miller. Miller was of the three, probably 834 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 6: the thing that the most dominant. He was just unreal 835 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 6: there in the ninth inning, and I think that he 836 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 6: has earned that right to get the ball last Winlock 837 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,399 Speaker 6: has the roses trust. Bednar pitched into and then out 838 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 6: of a real jam there in the seventh day. So 839 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 6: that's the lateening trio, and probably now before that we 840 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 6: saw Keller come in. I'd like to see some involvement 841 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 6: of vest and Rogers, but it's difficult because now you're 842 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 6: talking about guys that have not been there for the 843 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 6: full journey. Names like Waka and Holmes have already been 844 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 6: removed from the roster because of the piggybacking situation and 845 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 6: how that's all working. So a really interesting set of 846 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 6: circumstances right now for Tmusa. The big question of who 847 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 6: they trust. And on the Dominican side, it'll be Louis 848 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 6: Savarrino getting the ball to pitch well in the classics 849 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 6: so far, maybe not quite as impressively as Keenes did, 850 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 6: but I think Severino is a great choice of Dominicans 851 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 6: and their bullpen we know is also excellent, So it'll 852 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 6: be a tough matchup and you'd have to say, based 853 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 6: on the way they've played so far, the Dominicans have 854 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 6: been the better team in this tournament. The electrifying offense 855 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 6: we saw it again today Tatzi Soto, Rodriguez and all 856 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 6: the rest. It's just gonna be a lot of fun 857 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 6: to watch that game on Sunday night. 858 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 5: Do you think you know it's the use by ext 859 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 5: one hundred and two hundred and three mile an hour 860 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 5: Mason Miller thing? I mean, did you tap on that 861 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 5: you know the odometer there and the speed. 862 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 4: Gun to figure that out? 863 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 5: The other is, can you tell guys to keep the 864 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 5: ball down because against this squad it'll be even worse 865 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 5: than Team Canada. 866 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 4: Right, keep it down on the zone. Man, the home 867 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 4: runs are flying. 868 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 6: No, it is, it is, and and I'll say this 869 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 6: that it has. The park here has played fair. It's 870 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 6: actually played kind of big the center field in some 871 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 6: ways where I think some pitchers got away with mistakes 872 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 6: because of their ability to at least locate the ball 873 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 6: and make make hitters hit it to the big part 874 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 6: of the park. So the way that it's played in Miami, 875 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 6: You're right, we have seen certainly the Dominican hitters have 876 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 6: made that ballpark look awfully small. And I think that 877 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 6: in a lot of ways, they they have that home 878 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,280 Speaker 6: field advantage, they've played there before, They've got the ability 879 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 6: to really, I think, ease into what that hitting environment 880 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 6: is going to be. And again, for basic every reason, 881 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 6: I look at this as being the Dominicans game to 882 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 6: win because of the way they've played, the formance they're in, 883 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 6: and the questions that we're asking now about about tvusa's lineup. 884 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 6: It's not an issue of it is not I'll be 885 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 6: clear about this. It's not an issue of a lack 886 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 6: of focus. It's not an issue of a lack of caring. 887 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 6: That's not the problem. Right now. The Dominicans are just 888 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 6: playing better and TUSA has to find a way to 889 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 6: summon their best game for one night on Sunday, which 890 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 6: they could certainly do. It's just going to take a 891 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 6: little bit of a different at that and a little 892 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 6: more consistent offense. One thing they haven't done a lot 893 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 6: is is just add on runs by building rallies and 894 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 6: that type of connected offensive approach. We really haven't seen it. 895 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 2: It's interesting the last. 896 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 6: Couple of days, their best at best, their best performances 897 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 6: have come from some of the hitters's the bottom of 898 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 6: the lineup. The way that PCA has played and when 899 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 6: Tragus played the last couple of games. 900 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: Now, I got to ask you how to take here, 901 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: John Paul, because yes see, we're talking about something that 902 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: is a two week tournament in a nutshell. 903 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 4: We don't have time to make friends. 904 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: And wait, Bryce Harper is hitting one fifty and he 905 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: does not look good at the plate. Cal Raley has 906 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: not gotten a hit in the WBC. Is there going 907 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: to be changes? Mark de Rosa sticks with these guys. 908 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean, this is why you're the manager of the team, 909 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 1: what do you expect on Sunday. 910 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 6: So the way I'd answer that is, I think the catching. 911 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 6: The catching question is a straightforward, a straightforward one. I 912 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 6: think Will Smith is behind the plate. He caught the 913 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 6: teams the first time. What you mentioned about Rally's offense. 914 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 6: I think that's that's the easy answer. The more difficult 915 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 6: answer would be the Harper one, and I would have 916 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 6: to check the numbers that Goldschmid has against Severino. It 917 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 6: would be it'd be a pretty bold move to sit 918 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 6: Bryce Harper at the semifinals with WBC. I don't see 919 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,479 Speaker 6: it happening. I think Harper is here because he's he's 920 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 6: their guy, and he's not that far off. There was 921 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 6: there was obviously one called strike he didn't he did 922 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 6: not agree with at all in his last at bat. 923 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 6: That might be some piece of the puzzle here to 924 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 6: where maybe he feels like he's getting closer a little 925 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 6: better look at the strike zone. I just I don't 926 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 6: think that you mention him. We could argue, we could 927 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,720 Speaker 6: argue if you should. I don't think it will happen. 928 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 6: I'd be really surprised. Although I thought Goldschmith's at bats 929 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 6: were fine against against Italy, and maybe they see his 930 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 6: veteran presence as being something that would have value. Love 931 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 6: Paul Goldschmid, I just don't. I don't see Harper getting 932 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 6: that start. Maybe they bump him down in the lineup. 933 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 6: Maybe they move Terrang up higher, but I think Pca 934 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 6: is good at the bottom part. To flip it over, 935 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 6: Terrang might be the one guy that I would considered 936 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 6: moving up higher. And you bump Bryce down a little bit, 937 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 6: but then have Smith's catch. I think that Smith's catching 938 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 6: is the clear choice for me here entering the semifinal. 939 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 5: All right, two part question number one, cal raly, is 940 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 5: it baseball karma that he's not dabbing up his friends 941 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,759 Speaker 5: and teammates and it's coming back to haunt him at 942 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 5: the plate? And part two, what was that ballpark like 943 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 5: after what became five to three? Did people tighten up 944 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 5: a little bit? 945 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, it got pretty tense. I'll into the second one. First, 946 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 6: he got already ten. There was a little it was 947 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 6: a little nervy. And again once Canada had men on 948 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 6: second and third after the pass ball and nobody out 949 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 6: with Naylor up, I thought they're gonna fa this game. 950 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 6: I mean we're gonna, we're gonna, we might sell you 951 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 6: playing right now. If Naylor had got a base hit, 952 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 6: So to me, I at that moment, I'll be honest, 953 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 6: I've given the tension in the ballpark. Given the way 954 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,399 Speaker 6: the game had been advancing, I'm a little surprised that 955 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 6: they didn't tie it, to be honest with you. Of 956 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 6: course it went pop out, strikeout, strikeouts. As rally. My 957 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 6: advice would be that maybe he should just run across 958 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 6: the field, you know, he should. He should run to 959 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 6: center field when Julio's in the field and just give 960 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 6: him a big hug and just that totally the whole 961 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 6: He's just gonna run out, literally run out there like 962 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 6: he's his best friend in the world. He hasn't seen 963 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 6: him in fifteen years, and just like give him like 964 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 6: the biggest hug that he's had in his life. And 965 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 6: then that's going to change. 966 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: All the lot telling you you want you want to 967 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,840 Speaker 1: tell about awkward And you know, we got into this 968 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: a little bit last week. This is now the end 969 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: of Clayton Kershaw's baseball career. Replaced on the roster for 970 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: the semi final. We knew this was coming, right Mark 971 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 1: de Rosas said this, It's just so odd to me, 972 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: John Paul, that this is how he goes out a 973 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: guy of that stature, going out with, Yeah, I'm going 974 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: to train all off season just to be a guy, 975 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: to be an arm And the closest he came to 976 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: playing in this was I'm gonna warm up in the 977 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: eighth inning of a previous game and now I'm going 978 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: to have a beer in the bullpen because they're not going. 979 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 4: To use me. It's just certain guys. 980 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: Hey, when you want to keep playing more baseball, I 981 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: get it, But when you play at the level of 982 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,680 Speaker 1: Clayton kersher the best left handed pitcher I've ever seen, 983 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's just really odd to see him go 984 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: out this way and now it's just gonna just walking 985 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: off the field at the end, right, hey, and you 986 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: throw a baseball to a kid and it's walked off 987 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 1: the field like It's just it's just odd to me 988 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 1: to see this is how. 989 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 6: It goes Right. Well, I think that he probably and 990 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 6: rightfully would consider the appearance in the World Series to 991 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 6: be to be the end. Right That's that was the 992 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 6: real I mean, that was certainly a much more emotional 993 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 6: experience than than this. I agree it was a little 994 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 6: anti climactic, to say the very least. In some ways, 995 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,399 Speaker 6: if this game had been lopsided one way or the other, 996 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 6: a ten to three game, maybe there would have been 997 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 6: a lane to just get him in there and have 998 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 6: him had that moment and walk off the mound. But 999 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 6: it didn't happen. And you know, I spoke to him 1000 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 6: before the game and he was extremely at peace with everything. 1001 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 6: He didn't He basically said, it's my last day on 1002 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 6: the active roster. I'll be replaced on the active roster 1003 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 6: for the for the final two games, and and he 1004 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 6: totally seemed tranquil about the entire situation. So I agree, 1005 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 6: anti climactic, absolutely, a little awkward. Probably would I'd like 1006 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 6: to see him pitch at some point in the journey. Yes. 1007 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 6: The WBC, though, is is different when it comes to 1008 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 6: get someone inn and getting someone to work. They've got 1009 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 6: to fulfill all the obligations to the parent clubs of 1010 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 6: the players, et cetera. The things that we talk about 1011 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 6: with the curnamount all the time. And I just think 1012 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 6: that that those types of regulations made it difficult to 1013 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 6: have what should have been and it's not Mark Turosa's fault. 1014 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 6: It's not Andy Pettitt's fault, it's not Clayton Kershaw's fault. 1015 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 6: It just sometimes baseball gives us the perfect endings and 1016 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 6: sometimes it doesn't, and in this case it didn't. But 1017 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 6: of course I think Dodger fans feel like the last 1018 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 6: ending that he had with them was the one that mattered. 1019 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,240 Speaker 6: And they're probably right. 1020 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 5: All right JP tomorrow, Italy can the espresso fuelum passed 1021 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 5: Puerto Rico. 1022 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,319 Speaker 6: I'm not sure that Pat Metino has slept since he 1023 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 6: had three shots of espresso. I mean, I'm not sure 1024 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 6: he slept. He's having a great time that they can 1025 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 6: keep it going. Puerto Rico, though, is a dangerous team 1026 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 6: and they really string it together well. They don't have 1027 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,280 Speaker 6: the name brand lineup, but you saw the Erne's walk 1028 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 6: off over with a great moment that was Their bullpen 1029 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,319 Speaker 6: is really good. They've got a veteran starter in Seth Lugo. 1030 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 6: So I look at that team and say they are 1031 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 6: as dangerous as anyone else who's left maybe out outside 1032 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,400 Speaker 6: of the Dominican and Japan, just in terms of the 1033 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,160 Speaker 6: way they're playing right now, the style of play, in 1034 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 6: terms of Puerto Rico. So I think it's gonna be 1035 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 6: a great game. Today's game was tense and tight at 1036 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 6: the end, obviously, but I think tomorrow's game is going 1037 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 6: to be more of a more of a dramatic back 1038 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 6: and forth track meet, if you will, where there's a 1039 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 6: lot of things happening in some great catches athletic plays. 1040 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,240 Speaker 6: Italy just played so well and they've become the darlings 1041 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 6: of this tournament. So I do think they have the 1042 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 6: momentum on their side, and what a story it would 1043 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 6: be if Italy finds their way in the semi final 1044 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 6: for the first time ever at this event. 1045 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: Now, so John Pauld, now tell me what's your work 1046 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: schedule the next few days?
