Speaker 2: there a station you didn't work at a Detroit.

105
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: I didn't work at Fox two, but I did some

106
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: stuff on you know what I mean as a guest,

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: but I never really worked there. But anyway, Rob g

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: the u WBC last night. The United States. They beat

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: the Dominican Republic two to one and they advanced the

110
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 4: Dominican Republic is done.

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 6: But there was more to it, Yeah there was. And

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 6: number one was a great game. It was the two

113
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 6: favorites of the tournament going ahead to head and it

114
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: was as advertised, came down literally to the final pitch

115
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 6: of the game, a very controversial called third strike there

116
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 6: that win in favor of the US gives him the

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 6: win two to one. But after the game, obviously the

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 6: Dominicans were very upset about the way things ended. A

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 6: lot of talks about wanting the ABS system installed. They

120
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: feel like they got hosed. But the one thing that

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: really raised some eyebrows is After the game, about an

122
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: hour after exiting a locker room, Juan Soto, who did

123
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 6: not meet with the media, only told one reporter this quote.

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 6: We showed the world who's the best team in baseball,

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 6: and that's all I got to say.

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what game he was watching.

127
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: You lost, and you know what, the Dominican Republic, I

128
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 4: got it. The lineup, the thumpers, everybody was ranting in waving,

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: but you know what, it was more sizzle and they

130
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 4: didn't deliver the stake because they were averaging ten and

131
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: a half run ten point two runs a game coming

132
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: into that game against the United States. We know abouts

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh they better not ever trade him and put

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: some players around him because he's that kind of a talent. Okay,

135
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: I mean, just don't do it. If you're Pittsburgh, pay

136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: the guy, spend some money on other players once. But

137
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: the bottom line is, I'm so tired of this team,

138
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 4: the Dominican Republic, flexing their muscles, celebrating, doing all that

139
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: crazy stuff, and when they really needed.

140
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: To come through, they were zero.

141
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: Bad base running, couldn't hit when it mattered, basic loaded,

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: couldn't bring in a run, had a great chance to

143
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: tie the game. In the seventh inning, a man on second,

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: a clear base hit the center. Why are you holding

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: up a runner in that situation. You gotta go home

146
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: and score. If they throw you out, you tip your cap.

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: There's two outs and a man on second. You still

148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: have a chance to tie the game. So it was

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: just bad. And then the idea that they had the

150
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: nerve to walk out on the press and not talk.

151
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: I keep telling these players, man, it ain't for us.

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: You're not hurting us. The fans want to hear from you.

153
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: You were jumping around and throwing flags and dancing and

154
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: all that other stuff right when it's good. But when

155
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: it's bad you want no part of it. What world

156
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 4: do we live in? Stand up, be a man. When

157
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: you were raking and beating all these also rans, you

158
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: had plenty of time for the press. The press is

159
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: a condoing to the fans. They want to hear from you.

160
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: What happened? How come you only got one run after

161
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: averaging ten point two runs a game. Was Paul skiings

162
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: really that great? Or did you guys just couldn't handle them?

163
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: Or was your fault? Or you had bad approaches and

164
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: facing Paul Skins. What was it?

165
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: Instead were left to guess as to what happened. Maybe

166
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 4: you choked? Is that what happened? You choked because we

167
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: couldn't talk to you. You couldn't tell us what really

168
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: went down in the game. Unbelievable, and then got the

169
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: gall the audacity to talk about you proved that you

170
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: were the best team against who all those bad countries

171
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: you played, Come on, man, the best teams in the world,

172
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: the United States.

173
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: Japan, they rank up there.

174
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: You had a lineup, a murderer's row, as they used

175
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: to say to the nineteen twenty Yankees, and you got

176
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: one run and then ran home with your tail between

177
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: your legs because you're so embarrassed.

178
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: Man, come on with that.

179
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: The Dominican Republic their baseball team, I'm saying it frauds,

180
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 4: fraudulent chokers.

181
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: They were not ready for prime time when it really mattered. Yeah,

182
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: you a couple of things I'm gonna touch on that

183
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: you mentioned there.

184
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: So you can't go two for nine with runners in

185
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: scoring position and then complain. You can't also go from

186
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, having fifteen home runs, setting a new record.

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Your pitching gives up at one point you know one

188
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: nine to eight era, which is another record. So they

189
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: have been spectacular. Here's the problem. You were the best.

190
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: If this worse seven game series, maybe so, But in

191
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: this particular tournament, the way it's constructed, you were outs.

192
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: You were bested by the USA. So you have to

193
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: own that.

194
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: You have to accept that, and you know what you

195
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: gotta do, Rob, You gotta tip your cap because you

196
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: lost to a team in a great, hard fought battle

197
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: game and you lost.

198
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: And to me, when you're the ones, I love it.

199
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Right, you're back flipping, you're wearing a home run jacket,

200
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: you dancing.

201
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. I love it. Hey,

202
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: that is very culturally relevant.

203
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying, when you lose, you have to

204
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: still have to own up, man up, tip your cap

205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I think we're a better team, but

206
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: today we lost to THEE they oustis they best? As

207
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: they prove they're better tonight, We'll see them again next year.

208
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say. Hey, you know Schemes was album.

209
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: He was just amazing. He was outstanding today. I love

210
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: to get another shot at him, but you can't do

211
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: that to me. I don't like that. You can't have bravado.

212
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: You can't do all of that, and when you have

213
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: to own up that you lost, you were better and

214
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: you can't speak up.

215
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of that.

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: So to me, if you're gonna have the razzle dazzle,

217
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the flair, you're gonna have the personality.

218
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: I love it.

219
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it's entertaining. And I know that's you know,

220
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: that's how they get down culturally. I'm with it. But

221
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: you also got a man up and know when you

222
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: got to stand on business and say, hey, that team

223
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: was better than us, we'll get him next year or

224
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: whatever you'd like to say, but just say something. You

225
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: come out and you speak. So that said, I know

226
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: they were mad at the last out.

227
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: I know it was.

228
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: It was an egregious call. But that's a part of sports.

229
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: You know that in any sport. We sit up here,

230
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: we got a million TVs. We watched all the games.

231
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: That is a part of it has been played for

232
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: one hundred Come on, man, I mean swing the bat.

233
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 4: I get it. Is it the greatest pitch? How about

234
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: the other opportunities? Tattis came up, struck out, they had

235
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: they still had runners on first and third, with one out.

236
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: That's what I said, I have two or nine, you

237
00:11:59,200 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: gotta be better.

238
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: And both the Tattis and the next guy both struck out.

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna blame me upire for that too. They stand

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: shots when faces loaded, they couldn't get anybody in.

241
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Which rob I also think why they were frustrated, why

242
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: they acted the way they did, is because they knew

243
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: in their minds, we probably should have won this game

244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: had we had an opportunity to score, had we knocked

245
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: in another runner two, had we not struck out back

246
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: to back when we had guys in scoring position. So

247
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I think that added to their frustration. But that's still

248
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: not how you turn around and handle it. So I

249
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: was disappointed in that. And again I know they'll go

250
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: home and they'll be able to hold all the stats.

251
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 7: Again.

252
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: They set a record with home runs fifteen. They again

253
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: they're pitching, set a record with a one nine eight ERA.

254
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Jing was great.

255
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: They gave up two to the United States. Julio Rodriguez robbed,

256
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: they're in judge of a home run. It could have

257
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: been the third run for the United States.

258
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: The pitching put you in position to win the game

259
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: and your bats didn't, which is what you were hanging

260
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: your house. Go from averaging ten point two points to

261
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: get in one ten point two runs again to one.

262
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: So to me, that's so drastic that you have to

263
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: then turn and pay respect to that.

264
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: You get what I mean.

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: That wasn't just we lost nine to eight and off

266
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to be. They completely dominated. You could not they out,

267
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: they listened, they out, I pitched you, They had you

268
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: in fitch, you couldn't score run. And so to me,

269
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: that's you tip your cap to that. You say, hey man,

270
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: tonight he had it going. They had it going. They

271
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: had us, you know, shut out essentially, and I give

272
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit for that. To me, that's

273
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: how you handle that, especially if you're gonna be the

274
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: one boasting and bragging and showing out routinely when you're

275
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: smacking you know, other teams up one hundred.

276
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 4: You can all the fun is great. Just know how

277
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: to lose gracefully. That that's all you gotta do, is

278
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: know how to lose. By the way all the greats do.

279
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: This a great example.

280
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: There was probably no one more gracious and loss than

281
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: arguably the great well not argument, but the greatest of

282
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: all time in basketball.

283
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan for.

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: The first seven years he was getting his head stumped

285
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: in you know what I mean, and he would, hey,

286
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: good god, good game, man, blow teams.

287
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: I have a good game.

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: And so the idea that they can't answer questions, they

289
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: can't do this, and they got to be all upset

290
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: about it.

291
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 4: Everybody not like two players all but I think one

292
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 4: like I have the utmost respect for hockey. They beat

293
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 4: up each other, they're really rough, and then they shake

294
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 4: hands at the end of the championship. Everybody nobody's ducking out.

295
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a part of their history and game that,

296
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. No matter what went down.

297
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: They absolutely have an insane team. On paper, they put

298
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: up insane stats. But when it mattered most, and especially

299
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: against the team you probably wanted to beat most.

300
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: Chicken and rice meltdown. They did say that sounds good

301
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: right now, though you can't eat rice right now.

302
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: Right I'm no rice. You like califying rice? Califlower real said,

303
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: don't get carried away. It's either real or nothing. I'm

304
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: not doing all that all right.

305
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

306
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,479
Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox, The Dominican Republic.

307
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what what a fraud? Phonies?

308
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: Did the Dominicans prove to be fraudulent during the World

309
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: Baseball Classic?

310
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh, was just a bad night at the office. Which

311
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: one was it?

312
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 4: We'll continue that conversation next with you eight seven seven

313
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine six sixty

314

00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 7: Okay, baseball. First of all, all these teams in their

376
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 7: head good hitters. You know, if you talk about looking

377
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 7: at the lineups and all that kind of stuff, how

378
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 7: good to hear this are But the foundation of baseball.

379
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 7: It's pictures in the United States, we just all pisched him.

380
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 7: And then secondly, I learned this when I was in

381
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,840

385
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 7: you know, crazy stuff before a game. Then it's embarrassing

386
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 7: to have to go up standing up there after you

387
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 7: got your one one hundred percent.

388
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,320

00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,000

391
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,480

393
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: mind it if you just do it, But after you lose,

394

395
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 4: one Soto. You didn't prove anything. If I was a

396
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: reporter you said that, I would say, what did you prove?

397
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: And didn't you prove that? If you think you're the.

400
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,480

Speaker 2: off the season.

417
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: If if you actually go to mlbbro dot com, we

418
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: got like a new thing on the homepage.

419
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: It's actually pretty cool. Yeah, so check it out mlbbro

420
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: dot com.

421
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

422
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

423
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: The game this started like a team Canada USA vibe

424
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 5: more than the Canada USA game because this is too

425
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 5: heavyweights going back and forth. I thought the pivotal part

426
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 5: of the game was the fifth inning. I think when

427
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: Paul Skins had them they had Skins on the ropes

428
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: and we got out of it. You know, they had

429
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 5: their opportunities and they didn't cast him in. And if

430
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: you want to talk about the umpires, that three two

431
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 5: Will Smith's pitch that looked like that was up and

432
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 5: they called.

433
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: It a strike.

434
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 5: So it goes both ways. Look, the fact is they

435
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 5: had their opportunities. They didn't come and and and cash

436
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 5: him in. And that's why we had Paul Schemes. They

437
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: had their big guys up there, and they didn't get

438
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 5: the job done. Tatizda had Garrell Junior, they had Soto,

439
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 5: they had Camara.

440
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 4: They had they had every opportunity.

441
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: Period.

442
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 5: Roman Anthony hit the big home run and and we

443
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: won the game. And you know, you just got to

444
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 5: go take the Caps to a great team win. You know,

445
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 5: go there and take the questions. You take the questions

446
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 5: when you win, take them when you don't win.

447
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,040

Speaker 2: I didn't even look your age up.

477
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna guess that this was a milestone birthday.

478
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 10: You know what, Let's just keep it. Let's just keep it,

00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 5: By it was Calvin.

481
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 10: If I was Calvin, I'd be like, yeah, let's celebrate

482
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 10: my birthday. Let's go. But I'm more like.

483
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 5: You wrong, I know, just keep it moving.

487
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,719

496
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 10: now and tell us let me know if you guys

497
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 10: send me an address. I'll make sure that you guys

498
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 10: get hard once they're available.

499
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: Oh no, done deal, definitely looking forward. Absolutely All right,

500
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: let's get to the NBA. What do you want to start.

501
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 4: I want to start with I want to start with

502
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: the Spurs and how even in a loss to the

503
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: Nuggets couple of games ago.

504
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they're up ninety percent of that game. Castle's

505
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: playing spectacular, Wimby doesn't play. Then you get to see

506
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: what they do the next game. You got seven foot

507
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: six person coming down throwing ali yubs to a six

508
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, four guard. I mean, absolutely ridiculous what

509
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: we're seeing from them. Rob and I have debates on

510
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: h statistics. Say a team with the who doesn't make

511
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: the postseason and has a young guy like this who

512
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: hadn't won a series in Wimby, they don't make it

513
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: that far. Can this be the team that bucks that

514
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: and gets to the finals or not yet?

515
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 10: It's a great question, and I had to laugh too

516
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 10: the first time I saw Wemby. You know, a pin

517
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 10: down for Stefantasti coming off of it and Wemby throwing

518
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 10: a log for him. Okay, we're playing a little different

519
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 10: style vesketball, we're reversing the but I still believe that

520
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 10: there is a there's a growth that has to happen

521
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 10: in the postseason, and the postseason is just dramatically different,

522
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 10: I think, especially for a team like San Antonio. When

523
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 10: you come in and you have home court advantage, I

524
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 10: almost feel and I expect that they will expect they're

525
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 10: going to be one of the top four teams. I

526
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 10: believe there's actually added pressure when you start the playoffs

527
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 10: at home and you're a young team, because it only

528
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 10: doubles the expectation that you're supposed to win this game

529
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 10: and it's the first time you're getting a taste of it,

530
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 10: and the first time you're getting a taste of an

531
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 10: opponent has like three four days to prepare specifically for

532
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 10: you and make you play a different way. That's just

533
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 10: not what you face for the most part during the

534
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 10: regular season, where you've got to sort of adjust on

535
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 10: the fly to somebody taking away something that you do

536
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 10: really well. And so I just I want to see

537
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 10: how they come out.

538
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 5: Now.

539
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 10: All that said, I also think they are an incredibly

540
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 10: mature team for as young as they are. You know,

541
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 10: there's guys that are young and they're talented and they're

542
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 10: winning games, but they're still kind of knuckleheads, Like you

543
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 10: just know, like at any point they could go off

544
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 10: the rails. Wemby and Stefan Castle and those and all

545
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 10: those cats. They just do not feel that way. They

546
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 10: have a lot, honestly of what we've seen with the

547
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 10: Oklahoma City Thunder, who are a very young team but

548
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 10: play with a certain poise that is beyond their years.

549
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 10: So I know I'm kind of waffling here. I would

550
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 10: say that, Look, do I expect them to get out

551
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 10: of the first round? Yes? I do. Do I think

552
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 10: it could be a little tougher than we expect.

553
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: Yes.

554
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 10: Do I expect them to go to the finals? I don't.

555
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 10: I don't. It's somewhere in the middle. Second round, Conference

556
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 10: finals would be an achievement in my mind, regardless of

557
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 10: where they finished in the regular season, and second round

558
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 10: probably about what I would expect. I wouldn't be disappointed

559
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 10: if that's what it is, but it's certainly not the

560
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 10: last time we're going to see him in the postseason.

561
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: Another team I know people were ready to put in

562
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference finals or the finals, or it was

563
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: the Pistons with the season that they started with and

564
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: how they were playing. They had a bad drive patch,

565
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: and then Jason Tatum showed up where the Celtics were

566
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: and people were like, uh, maybe not, Maybe it is

567
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: the Celtics and the Knicks and the Cavs and not

568
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: the Pistons.

569
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: The Pistons have a good young team.

570
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 4: I just can't see going from two playoff wins in

571
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 4: the last seventeen years to go into the Eastern Conference

572
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 4: finals or anything with the other teams in front of them.

573
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 4: Where are you on the Pistons, especially Rick, The perimeter shooting,

574
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: three point shooting is not there for the Pistons.

575
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's certainly, that's certainly an issue. That

576
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 10: is certainly a flaw. But and then I do think

577
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 10: that the Boston Celtics were going to be formidable and

578
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 10: I think will be formidable regardless of how much you're

579
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 10: getting from Jason Tatum. Working him in and figuring out

580
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 10: how to incorporate him and the size of his role

581
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 10: I think is their biggest challenge. But I was already

582
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 10: believing in them before we knew that Tatum was going

583
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 10: to come back. So you else, everybody else, I think

584
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 10: has flaws too.

585
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't I agree with that. I agree that's flaws everywhere,

586
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: and yeah.

587
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 10: And especially in the Eastern Conference. Like I just think

588
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 10: with san Antonio, it's not it's not san Antonio, as

589
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 10: much as you have proven champions that they're going to

590
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 10: have to go through. You have to go through Denver.

591
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 10: You have to go you have to go through Denver

592
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 10: or Okay. See, chances are for San Antonio somewhere along

593
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 10: the line. And I think that there's just the level

594
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 10: of competition at the top in the in the Western Conference,

595
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 10: it's just a little more thick than it is in

596
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 10: the Eastern Conference. I still think that the Detroit Pistons

597
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 10: are certainly capable of getting there, getting to the conference finals,

598
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 10: whether it's the finals or not. You know, I think

599
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 10: at this point, if you asked me Boston or Detroit,

600
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 10: I'd have to go Boston simply for the experience factor.

601
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 10: But I think that I think Detroit can give with

602
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 10: their size and their physicality, UH and the defenders that

603
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 10: they have on the perimeter, the fact that Jalen Brunston

604
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 10: is your go to guy, uh and that Kat is

605
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 10: your is your big man. I think Detroit. I think

606
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 10: Detroit has advantages there. And UH and Cleveland, I'm just

607
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 10: not a believer. You know, it comes down to this,

608
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 10: Dodovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson for Cleveland and New York,

609
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 10: those are your two your go to guys. They're both undersized,

610
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 10: have to work really hard to get what they what

611
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 10: they get. If you ask me who I would want

612
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 10: between Kate Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, and Jalen Brunson, I'm not

613
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 10: even going to hesitate. Give me Kay Cunningham all day,

614
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 10: every day. Even as young as he is and experienced

615
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 10: as he is, I think he has the capability of

616
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 10: both being a playmaker and your go to guy, and

617
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 10: at six', six has that advantage size wise that comes

618
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 10: up big in the.

619
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: Postseason, YEAH i totally get, that and, uh it's gonna

620
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: be tough Though Jalen brunton is a closer for.

621
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: Sure i'm gonna go back to The.

622
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: West cleveland Owns, detroit don't they, Like, like don't they

623
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: be the like the way The knicks Own.

624
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: CLEVELAND i think there's a Little Detroit cleveland thing.

625
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 10: There as far AS i think that's regular.

626

Speaker 2: Again regular, SEASON i get.

627
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 4: It i'm just saying, like, like, YEAH i think there's

628
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: there's something there where they like The NICK.

629
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't like even if The pistons were to, THINK

630
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: i don't Think cleveland's.

631
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: TOUGH i don't look at them is tough.

632
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Enough and you Added James harden that we he has

633
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: a history of not being a great defender in the

634
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: history not showing up what it ma as most to

635
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: a team where some.

636
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: Shows up for the first. Time, man that'll be.

637
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: Interested we took them sixteen years about. Tea you know

638
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: that'll be what the thing is real quick for, Me,

639
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: RICK i want to go back to The Western conference

640
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: and there's a team that Is IF i told you

641
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: third in The west AND i told you it was The,

642
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: LAKERS i think some people be shocked right the way

643
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: they're kind of already written off as far as the

644
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: postseason and how they're They're but are they only three

645
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: seed that you actually look at and people say will

646
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: they even win a? Series LIKE i, mean, what this

647
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: is an odd year where they're a third seed but

648
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: no one has faith in.

649
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 10: THEM i will say it is really impressive what they've

650
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 10: been able to do in the regular, season no question about.

651
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 10: It but DO i think that they are incredibly vulnerable

652
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 10: with whoever they see in the? Postseason, YES i, do

653
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 10: because they got three guys that you can. EXPLOIT i

654
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 10: think the ability to game plan specifically for, them they

655
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 10: don't have a whole lot of. ANSWERS i think you.

656
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 10: CAN i think you can torture The lakers by focusing

657
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 10: in on attacking The. Luca, Uh Austin reeve is probably

658
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 10: Between Lebron, luca and And austin is the best defender

659
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 10: of the. Three got a great, defender and so H

660
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 10: i just look at the combinations, there AND i think

661
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 10: they're a team that once you get to the postseason

662
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 10: and you can really focus in on a team's, weaknesses

663
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 10: that you can you can force them to have to

664
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 10: play from, behind and and that's where things get. Tough so,

665
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 10: YEAH I i DON'T i want to TAKE i want

666
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 10: to COMPLIMENT Jj reddick and that team for what they

667
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 10: have done in the regular, season BUT i don't see

668
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 10: there's just no way for me to say that it's

669
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 10: going to hold up in the postseason because, defensively they're

670
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 10: they're just such a. Mess it's just it's and maybe it's,

671
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 10: uh it's surprising to me the teams haven't been able

672
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 10: to exploit that more in the in the regular. Season

673
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 10: BUT i think that that's just the, uh the incredible

674
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 10: offensive ability if you keep it close Like luca can

675
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 10: get you a. Game you, Know austin and let's kind of,

676
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 10: look if we we really break it, down you look

677
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 10: at some of the games that they've, WON i would

678
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 10: dare say that The lakers have had more miracle finishes

679
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 10: during the regular, season you, know going back to this

680
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 10: last game Where austin's like missing a free throat perfectly

681
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 10: to create.

682
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: And that's a lucky bounce there to come right back to.

683
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 4: Them But i'll say, This, rick about.

684

685
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 10: those type of. Wins.
