110
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 6: but it didn't stop the party. Uh, And then to

111
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 6: finish the home run derby, which I get and you

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 6: know me, I'm a traditional kind of baseball guy, but

113
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 6: I thought that was cool and I'm alright with it.

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 6: There was a couple things we got to see the

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 6: challenge of pitches, right, which was interesting the way that

116
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 6: that went, as long as they don't overdo it. Like

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: there was a couple right. Yeah, this was the launching

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 6: pad if you will. Ye, I didn't want to see

119
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 6: how people go to it, but I think it should

120
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 6: be and mark board something and I think he's right

121
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 6: probably be the manager not the pitcher like in the game,

122
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 6: like thinking of because why wouldn't it just be the catcher.

123
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like to me, like, why is the picture

124
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to kick the picture that First of all,

125
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: you catcher, you're literally cuted while.

126
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 5: You were there. You just had it over the place

127
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: you framed it.

128
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: And or the manager also because the manager's thinking, okay,

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: what do we do now? What it's the challenge with

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: the situation the game time, are we wasting it?

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: Versus the player You're you're just ticked off because that

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: was a strike. Versus hold on, hold on player, We

134
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: need we need.

135
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: We need it when it really matters.

136
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 6: And it was used early obviously the All Star Game,

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 6: and and Scooba wasn't going to pitch long so he

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 6: had to kind of throw it in there and it

139
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: went from two strikes to a strikeouts instead of a ball.

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 6: But anyway, uh, the home run derby, just your thoughts

141
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 6: because the fans bought ate it up. I know there's

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 6: some people like, oh dude, stop, it's an exhibition game.

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: It's for the fans, it's fun. Do I want that

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 6: to end a regular season game?

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: No? I do not.

146
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: Do I want it to end a tie game?

147
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 6: And what turned out to being excited was six nothing

148
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 6: National League, the American League storms back and then the

149
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,440

Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they were trying to figure things out,

161
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: how can we get more viewers? How can we speed

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: up the game? And Rob Manford credit have made a

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: few changes that traditionalist like maybe I wasn't on the

164
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: air with you at the time, but some people might

165
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: not have liked, hey, don't speed at the game?

166
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 5: Change the shit?

167
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: Right?

168
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: And I did you think it was yesterday or Monday?

169
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember the day, but I said, he's in

170
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: his He's in his sug Night deth Ro era where

171
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: he was just the boss. I'm making plays, making calls.

172
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: They were complaining in the Philadelphia Phillies, Well, why does

173
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, why is.

174
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: The wiz kid getting the men's getting to be in there?

175
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 5: Why is he pitching?

176
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: Why?

177
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: And he say, I asked y'all, wuld y'all pitch it?

178
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: Guarantee me one inning? And your pitcher said no, I

179
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: just pitched Sunday one said. The other one says, no,

180
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: I'd rather cool, he said, Do I want to do

181
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: this every time?

182
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: No?

183
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: But he pitches on a hundred three hundred four miles.

184
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Why would this could be something cool for the fans.

185
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: I talked to him. Yeah, uh, pregame just a night.

186
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: He's a kid, I mean literally, And I was like,

187
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 6: is this a whirlwind or you know what?

188
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 5: He was just like, he.

189
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 6: Says, I can't even believe I'm sitting here in a

190
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 6: locker room in the clubhouse with all these guys I

191
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 6: grew up watching, you know what I mean, And all

192
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 6: this stuff he said.

193
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 5: He said, I pinched myself every day.

194
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: And he's been on a roll rockets, so you get

195
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the way he's been handling, Like I said, the shift

196
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: and the pitch count and speeding the game up, and

197
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: the game's going well. He lucked into a Dodgers Yankees

198
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: which ended up being spectacular. Ready to the roof, carries

199
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: over this season, radies through the roof. You have a

200
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: good offseason where want So it was gonna go like

201
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: they're in a three space right now. It's been a

202
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: good couple of which leads to the All Star Game,

203
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: and it starts off it's competitive. I thought we'll get

204
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: into a little bit later. I thought they started the

205
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: game out. We were on the air, and you represented

206
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: where you were. You in Atlanta. You had HBCU, you

207
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: had the Clark marching Man, you had Luda, Chris, Jermaine Duprix.

208
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 5: It looked good, it felt good.

209
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: It felt like it felt the Dogs series, right. It

210
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 6: just they've been on to be like that, and you

211
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 6: look for people who you know, represent the city or whatever,

212
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 6: and that's how you connect. And I think it was great.

213
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 5: There was. It was star studded. There were a lot

214
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 5: of Atlanta people. Yeah, I mean it's there, proud of

215
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: their hometown and all that and the All Star Game.

216
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: And I got stopped by a number of people, you know,

217
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 6: walking around the ballpark about the odd couple.

218
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 5: And it was really nice shout out to them. Yeah.

219
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: So, and then the actual game, right, you you get

220
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: the competitives, you got to two young pitchers who look

221
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be the guys for the next decade. Uh,

222
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: the schemes and schoolbl and so obviously Scooble would have

223
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: preferred to do a little bit better. But the point

224
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: is you got the two stars off there out there right,

225
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: you got cart o'tany kind of sets it off for them.

226
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: They get rolling and it's just going and it's looking good.

227
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 5: It's fun.

228
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a big deficit, but they don't just

229
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: see this is the difference. They didn't just mail it in. Well,

230
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: I guess that's just now to night. Where y'all going.

231
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: I heard Rob gonna be a magic city what we're doing.

232
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: They kept fighting. Rob came back.

233
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 6: If you were watching the game, there were plays made,

234
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 6: diving catches and stuff like that, like, guys don't like

235
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: where I saw what.

236
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: I can't remember was it. Uh he's from the Cubs. Uh.

237
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 6: And he dove for a ball out left field, and

238
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 6: I said to myself, he easily could have pulled up

239
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 6: and let that be a double.

240
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: It's a double.

241
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not even gonna chance like messing my

242
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 6: knee up or doing something, you know what I mean.

243
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Even some of the at bats, you know, Junior had

244
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: a couple where it was like really like, there's a

245
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: couple well, especially the one that went down the the

246
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: right line. It's just like, oh, like he could have

247
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: easily sad I tried and swung whatever, but like, no,

248
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I need this. We're in this game. We've got a

249
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: chance to come back, tie it up. We got a

250
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: chance to come back whin this thing. So that went

251
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: great as far as the seventh inning, the American League's

252
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: four runs and eventually they were tied. And then we

253
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: have the home run derby off the swing off and

254
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: that ended up being really fun. So it couldn't have

255
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: gone any better for them. I thought it was. I

256
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: thought it was really good and from top to bottom,

257
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, he made a great catcher left.

258
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: And I just think baseball's having a great couple of

259
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: seasons right now with just the moves that they've made.

260
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, they fall into the Dodgers Yankees first

261
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: time since eighty one, that ends up being great.

262
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 6: But I wonder where people are, like when you watched

263
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 6: it last night, you know a lot of people watched

264
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: did you like it? Like is this something? Could you

265
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 6: even see this? For like during the regular season, because

266
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 6: the one thing I do not like as you put

267
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 6: the run on second base right away in the tenth inning.

268
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: I get it, they don't want to play sixteen innings. Okay,

269
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 6: I get that, but why can't we have one extra inning,

270
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 6: one extra frame to tenth inning and then you do

271
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 6: that to give it a chance to win the game.

272
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

273
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 6: Because those games, to me, can wind up where you

274
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 6: win and they're not exciting men on second you butt

275
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: them the third and he scores on the fly ball. Okay,

276
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: you win a game, but that's not you didn't even

277
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: get a hit in the.

278
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: You know what it reminds me of I think you

279
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: might feel me. It kind of reminds me of sudden

280
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: death in the NFL, where it's like, all right, I

281
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: got to.

282
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 5: Just kick a field goal, take it off.

283
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: So the only thing I disagree on sudden death is

284
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 6: you can score defensively that you can in baseball, you

285
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like, like I've covered the lines

286
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 6: for twenty years.

287
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: You know I've seen pick sixes go the other way.

288
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

289
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 6: You know what, Scott Mitchell, But you know what I mean,

290
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 6: Like you could win a game defensively as well.

291
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Get a kickoff, you return it to the forty. We

292
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: throw a ten yard in a fifteen yard pass, kick

293
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: a field going we're out of here, you know, or

294
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: if you want't even go with the college how they

295
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: used to do it.

296
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 5: Where you know, college twenty five yards.

297
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: Twenty five yard line, so it's like, oh okay, instead

298
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: of going the whole you know, one hundred or seventy

299
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: five if you will.

300
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 5: But it was.

301
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: Entertaining, it was funny. It was a great way to say,

302
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: here's a chance. It was it was really the home

303
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: run derby and the All Star Game and having a baby.

304
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: And to me, you got a chance. A few guys,

305
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: few pitches, each of you get a few pitches. Let's

306
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: see what happens. We're not burning you out. So you

307
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: go back to your team messed up because that's happened.

308
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Dudes something do home run derbies and they're off for

309
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: a few more weeks. They just can't get their swing

310
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: back together. Only a few batters, few pitches, quick fun,

311
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: get it over with and we all move on. But

312
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: the game itself was competitive. That was fun way to end.

313
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 5: It because it wasn't It was six nothing, and you

314
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 5: could have said, like you said on a vacation, take

315
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 5: the first swing.

316
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 6: And get out of there, like you could do that,

317
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 6: say're working to count, you know what I mean, trying

318
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 6: to get on base like all that kind of stuff,

319
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 6: making plays.

320
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 5: It was a very entertaining when you put it all together, all.

321
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: Right, I give them credit. Then they gotta give them credit.

322
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: We complained. Listen, we'll sit here and that's coming February

323
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: and maybe complain about the NBA.

324
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 5: Maybe they get it right, maybe they don't.

325
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: But my point is we'll complain when it's when it's

326
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: done poorly and just doesn't seem like people cared. Gotta

327
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: give them credit. MLB were there, they care, the players

328
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: were there. It seemed fun, and they seem to get

329
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: it right, all right.

Speaker 6: of the derby at the end and is that something

333
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: that you would be interested in? Would you like to

334
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 6: see that for the regular season instead of putting the

335
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 6: guy on second base?

336
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 5: Just your thoughts. A lot of people thought it was exciting.

337
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,840

338
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 6: not everybody that exactly, but Kelvin and I are in agreement.

339
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 5: I thought that was fun. It was a great way.

340
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: And I was the one.

341
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 6: I was in Milwaukee when they had the tie, and

342
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 6: that was bad. That was a bad ending to an

343
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 6: All Star game. Bud Selig was there in his home,

344
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 6: you know, park and a whole nine yards. It just

345
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 6: it didn't feel.

346
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: Good with then the overreaction afterward.

347
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: Now with World Series home advance, that overreaction, Okay, let's

348
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,520

380
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: Didn't want to be in and be there another five hours.

381
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: Just find a quick, fun way to get it done,

382
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: and he did that. Maybe you feel differently and could

383
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: you see that as a remedy in extra innings as

384
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: opposed to the person already being on second eight seven,

385
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox.

386
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,200

389
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 8: That's three hours on the air. Welcome back, Rob.

390
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: Thank you, buddy, appreciate that. Yep.

391
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 8: I'm telling you, it's been about twelve years since I've

392
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 8: watched the All Star Game. It was fun. I couldn't

393
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 8: believe it. I watched, I got the whole thing, and

394
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 8: then when our man Schwarber came up, I said, he's

395
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 8: got three of them right there. Yeah, it was great.

396
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 8: It's back for me. But let's not rush it to

397
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 8: having it at the regular No, I'm.

398
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 5: With you, Scott. I'm with you. I don't want to

399
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 5: rush to that either.

400
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 8: And how I believe is if they need that god

401
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 8: darn ghost Runner, which I dis detested, right, put him

402
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 8: on first base, make them earn second base.

403
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 6: Right because you need a hit in there. Could you

404
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 6: win a game without a hit, Scott. And that's the

405
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 6: part that I do not like. Andrea in Massachusetts, You're

406
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 6: on the a couple of Fox Sports Radio.

407
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: What's up, dright, how you doing?

408
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 9: Thanks for taking a call, listen. I enjoyed the All

409
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 9: Star Game and I did like to swing off to

410
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 9: conclude it.

411
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 4: Now.

412
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 9: I don't want to see this on a day to

413
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 9: day basis. I would prefer to see extra innings. And

414
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 9: I'm fully in line with you, Rob, I'd like to

415
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 9: see it in the eleventh inning.

416
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 5: Can we have.

417
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 9: Of actual baseball and then because of the time sensitivity, okay,

418
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 9: put the runner on second base to start the eleventh

419
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 9: inning and we can play forward from there. But I'm

420
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 9: also a big proponent of the automated ball strike system.

421
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 9: I think it's long overdue. I think people want to

422
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 9: see you get it right. And I thought it was

423
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 9: incorporated well yesterday. It's not adding additional time, you know,

424
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 9: and we just you know, we go, we see what

425
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 9: it is on the monitor, and then we just move

426
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 9: forward right from there. And I think that's a huge thing.

427
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 6: Its right, right, And you don't want it to be

428
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 6: where it's going to take time and you got to

429
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 6: keep looking at it, and you got to keep deciding

430
00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 6: what you're going to do.

431
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: You have to remedy the PA you don't want to

432
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: go backwards.

433
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,840

Speaker 10: carrying Tory Hunter. This is the best All Star Game

460
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 10: I've ever seen. I didn't want it to be boring.

461
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 10: When that swing off happened, it felt.

462
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 4: Like it was box office. Kyle Schwarber to win it,

463
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: he needed he needed like two three to win. They

464
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 4: came from behind. Then you had Alonzo if he if

465
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 4: you know, to finish it out. That's what you want.

466
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 4: NBA's we're trying to get it right with the All

467
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Star Games. Can you imagine a three point shoot have

468
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: to win it or slam duck contest? The Pro Bowl,

469
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 4: can't get it right? Major League Baseball? Rob Manfred got

470
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 4: it right. And I don't care what anybody says. I

471
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,760

Speaker 1: Rob Parker kelvin Washington on a worship Wednesday. And we're

488
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: joined right now by Joe Varden covers the NBA for

489
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: the athletic Joe Varden on X Joe, what's up?

490
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 5: Man? You guys doing doing good?

491
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 6: Doing good, absolutely doing well. Let's let's start with Bradley

492
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: Beale and uh, finally moving on taking the buy out

493
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 6: and moving on to the Clippers. How surprised are you

494
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: that he wound up with the Clippers?

495
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: You know, not, I mean not not overly surprised. You know,

496
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 3: there was a personal sort of familial presence to be

497
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: in a twelve months warm weather climate that had a

498
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: lot to do with his resistance to being traded last year.

499
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: You know, he probably could have gone to Miami, but

500
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: that's neither here nor there. But you know, with the Clippers,

501
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 3: I mean, they have a veteran roster and they have

502
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: a players coach, and so you know it's I mean

503
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: if you just kind of look at who they have

504
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: and who they've had through the years since Tyler has

505
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: been there. This just makes sense to me, you know.

506
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: And and if if I mean James is usually healthy,

507
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: but you know, if Kawhi can be out there for

508
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: sixty games anyway, then yeah, you know, you know, Bradley

509
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 3: like this is the place he'd want to play, you know,

510
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: he would figure to have some space. And he's got

511
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: one of the games great assists men that he's playing alongside,

512
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: So you know, he's certainly after what happened in Phoenix,

513
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 3: he is looking for a way to jump started, you know,

514
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: kind of rev up his career after a couple of

515
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: years certainly you know, going in the wrong direction. So

516
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: you know, I mean the Clippers are a team as

517
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 3: we all know. Every year we're talking about them as

518
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: a as a contender, and you know, and and they

519
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: just it hasn't worked out in the playoffs. So if

520
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: they get the Bradley Beal that we know he can

521
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: be or had been, they get anywhere close to that,

522
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: then this is a huge acquisition at a pretty low cost.

523
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: Well you know what, So Rob and not going to

524
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: have a longer conversation about Bradley Beal next hour, So

525
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: I wanna switch to the thunder. They spend eight hundred

526
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: and something million dollars between their three guys, U and

527
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Chad obviously Shay and and Jay Dove. Just did you

528
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: think they'd be able to get that done? H And

529
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: do you like the deal? You feel like maybe they

530
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: handcuffed themselves as far as over did it? Those young

531
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: the younger in those you know, those ancillary pieces that

532
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: made them such a great team as well.

533
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: No, I I like this. I'm going to take the

534
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: other route. Uh sorry, Rob, I just think I think

535
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 3: you know, on the one hand, we all expected it.

536
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: You know, you you get your guys under contract, But

537
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 3: now I mean we have you have to think as

538
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: the salary cap goes up and up over the next

539
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: couple of years, like you knew no matter what, that

540
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: this team was going to become really expensive. So and

541
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: I also think, by the way, that as long as

542
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: you are winning, you continue to pay, Like if you're

543
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: if you're a second ak from team, but you win,

544
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: you repeat, then you run it back, you pay the cost.

545
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: You don't care about roster building.

546
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 6: Well, here's my pushback to you did not win and

547
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 6: three championships in a row.

548
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 5: You won an Okay.

549
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 6: See, I'm not saying throw to towel in and not

550
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 6: try to compete, but it wouldn't have been the end

551
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 6: of the world to sign pick two of the three

552
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 6: guys and then allow yourself to be able to do

553
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 6: some other stuff, some other you know what I mean

554
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 6: along the way and not be top heavy at some point,

555
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 6: and then you're hamstrung if you're not winning championships and

556
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 6: you gotta pay that, you know, like, like there was

557
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: another path to say, and I'm gonna take two, I'm

558
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: gonna move the other guy right to whatever it is

559
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 6: to take and still wind up being there where you're

560
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 6: in the league that has had what eight different championships

561
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: in the last eight years or whatever it is? Like,

562
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 6: is that the wrong way to think about it. I'm

563
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 6: not saying, oh, I'm good, I'm happy I won my

564
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 6: one championship. I'm not signing anybody but two of the three.

565
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: Yes, so I help you out point yeah.

566
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: But this is I mean you said it. You said, like, well, listen,

567
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: you're not winning three championship in a row, and that

568
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: is because of the era that we're in. We haven't

569
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: had a consecutive champion since the Warriors when they're beaten

570
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: the Cavs. That's a long time ago now, and it's

571
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 3: because basically of salary cap rules. So the key to

572
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: remain very good is to maintain flexibility. Now, you would say,

573
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: whatever the price tag is of those three contracts, totally,

574
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: he'llcuffs this team. I disagree. One of the restrictions of

575
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: being over an apron is you cannot make trades, like

576
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: you cannot aggregate player salaries in trades. So if you

577
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: want to make moves like you have to have the

578
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: expensive guys they do with three of these players under

579
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 3: these contracts. If they want to move on from one

580
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: and they want to get a big fish, they can

581
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 3: they have like thirteen or something first round picks over

582
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: the next seven years, some outrageous number. Like yes, on

583
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: the price tag of these three guys is expensive, but

584
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: I would argue that it actually provides more opportunities if

585
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: they feel like they need to change their roster in

586
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: the coming in the coming years.

587
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was.

588
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: I was, you know, he and I had our conversations

589
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: about it. I was team keeping. They're too young or

590
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: too good, and I'll figure out the.

591
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 5: Rest and throw them back, throw one back. No, I'm

592
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 5: not throwing back. Is this a well yeah, who would

593
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 5: probably Chet? You would have said this hit? Yeah, probably probably. Yeah,

594
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 5: I'm not doing the man.

595
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: They're too young or too good and Daggan Sam Presty

596
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: can find some pieces.

597
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 6: He's been buying pieces for twenty years, and Chet's been

598
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 6: getting injured a lot. So I'm saying I got lucky

599
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 6: with this one. I want a championship.

600
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 5: Let me move on.

601
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Rob has this thing Joe where he just if you're

602
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: in a small market, he believes, take your one and

603
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: be happy. If you're Milwaukee, just be happy. If you're

604
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: an Oklahomas e why can't I get two three? Why

605
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: can't I be agreed what to do? Let me be greedy.

606
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 5: I mean even the Warriors had to go get Kevin

607
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 5: Durant in order to do more than that, right didn't they?

608
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

609
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but you know, if you're you're this The

610
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: entire roster's coming back for next year. So I know

611
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 3: that doesn't have anything to do with the contracts that

612
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: they all signed this summer. But now you've got a

613
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: team that's coming back, not only is defending champs from

614
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 3: totally intact, but also happy. Uh, No one's looking over

615
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: their shoulder at least in their in their core. But again,

616
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: I just want to say, like, you know, whatever happens

617
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: with Giannis, like it doesn't mak he's goingnywhere this year.

618
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: But if he, if he decides at some point he

619
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: wants out, they can do it because of these salaries

620
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 3: and the and and then also the first round picks

621
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: that they have, you know, or if they want some

622
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: other outrageously you know, expensive, great veteran, they can do that.

623
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: Or if they decide that the game has changed again

624
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 3: and you know, they don't need centers like they used to,

625
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, and you want to move off of chet,

626
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: you can do that still, Like you could do that

627
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: because you can because his salary is not going to

628
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: limit you based on the rules.

629
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 8: So I like it.

630
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's right there.

631
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 6: If I'm honest, you can't go from Milwaukee to OKAC.

632
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm just saying, like he's a New

633
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: Yorker who moved to LA That's why. That's you know

634
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: what I mean, That's what it is. Joe Vard and

635
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: our guests. One more for me, I want to go

636
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: to everybody's been making moves to trades or doing something

637
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: to do something. A team that has not acquired anyone

638
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: or re signed anyone is the Warriors. They literally have

639
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: done nothing, Like they've not signed anyone. Have you seen

640
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: yah double apron and so and it's backless aside from

641
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: them being two chefs in the catch kitchen with those aprons?

642
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 5: What do you make of that?

643
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: Are they just are they waiting on Lebron the Lakers

644
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: to do something? Are they what are they trying to

645
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: figure out over there? They feel like they got enough?

646
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: Uh?

647
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: What what's happening up there in the Bay.

648
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think they're gonna end up with Orford and

649
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: uh and and maybe not the player I think who

650
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: is DeAndre Milton? Maybe or that's not right, there's one

651
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: other guy. But but certainly I think, uh now.

652
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 5: Just if you can't remember him, that he ain't really

653
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 5: that good, keep.

654
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: Going well, But but Horford, I think I think I

655
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: think that they're they're kind of zeroed in on Horford.

656
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: I think that there is mutual interest there. I do

657
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: think that the Warriors would be interested in maybe some

658
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: of the bigger name trades that that you might be

659
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: hinting at. They're one of the teams that salary wise

660
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 3: that could that could maybe do it. I don't know

661
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: if the other side would be interested in that, but

662
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean the Warriors are always a franchise

663
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: that's looking to add They always are, and I think

664
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: they will be so long as Steph Curry is there.

665
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, what does Horford have left in

666
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: the tank. He was really good last year. Bringing him

667
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: off the bench is interesting to me. You know, certainly

668
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: we'll see how many games Jimmy Butler plays during the

669
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: regular season. But yeah, I think I think they're not

670
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: quite done yet. And you know, if if the Lebron

671
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: situation gets worse, I do believe the Warriors would be

672
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: a team that would make a run at them.

673
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: Well, all right, we'll have to wait and see, man, Joey,

674
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,240

717
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 8: I'm not.

718
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: We're not doing WNBA. It's not trigonometry. I'm always shocked

719
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 5: when it's included in the updates. Yeah you are.

720
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Actually, I do recall that as if it's not a

721
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: whole league that has athletes in there.

722
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 6: Sorry about that, all right. I remember when they didn't

723
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 6: do WNBA scores. The league has not just showed up

724
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 6: like last week. He's been around for like thirty years,

725
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 6: like you've been covering.

726
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 5: A w AB since nineteen ninety six seven when they came,

727
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 5: so for twenty nine years there were no updates on

728
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 5: the WNB.

729
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: That just shows what we were the level of mal Chov.

730
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 5: That's what. Now we're there. I'm just saying, it's so disappointed.

731
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, whoever the update person wasn't oh two,

732
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm disappointing them and five twenty ten.

733
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 5: Ben Malan were doing updates back then.

734
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: Right now I'm disappointing maybe not Aaron. Aaron is upset too.

735
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: He's like, boo, why you ain't covering this?

736
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 5: This the w n b A. Aaron's like, why do

737
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 5: you bet your my name all the time? But Aaron is.

738
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Such a calm down personally calm down. Okay, hold on, Ralph,

739
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: all right, you just came back. I bet you you're

740
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: not getting a Christmas invite?

741
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: I am.

742
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

743
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: We're just keeping it a little close to the vest

744
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: this year. Be a few of us, just a couple

745
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: of friends. No black people, you know, No people talk

746
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: about my wife on the raid.

747
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 5: I mean, uh, you know. And here's the other thing.

748
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 6: Okay, you really can't take the w n b A

749
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 6: seriously because they don't cover it, like like Caitlin Claw

750
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 6: you talked about this has been struggling all year. Where

751
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 6: the story, dude, where seriously, Like you can't bash her,

752
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 6: you can't talk about how poorly what is she shooting? Like, uh,

753
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 6: she was like twenty eight percent from three, Like you know,

754
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 6: like she's not having a banner year. But if you

755
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 6: talk about her as you're jealous or you hate her

756
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 6: or there's something like that, rather than talking about the game,

757
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 6: talking about and then if you criticize them, it's the

758
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 6: same thing. They don't want to hear criticism of this

759
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 6: about the women and whatever. What kind of league is

760
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 6: it's it's phony, it's not a real league. If you

761
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 6: can't criticize the players will talk about the game.

762
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 5: If they do well, you praise them. If they do poorly,

763
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 5: you bury them. Yeah.

764
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: I brought this up yesterday that she had been struggling.

765
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: At one point in time, she was one for twenty

766
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: eight from three on the road. She was struggling, and

767
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: she's been dealing with injuries. Now she's got to grow

768
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: and that's growing injury. That's why she's out tonight. But

769
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: even I was telling Rob Gen, she's been healthy enough

770
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 1: to get out there and play, you would think find

771
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: another way, And this is where her game is gonna

772
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: have to grow. Right now, I'm watching Sabrina Ali Nascu,

773
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: who is balling. She got the three mid range to

774
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: the rack passing. And my point is Caitlyn is gonna

775
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, you have to evolve, and the league is

776
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: kind of caught up a little bit.

777
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 5: I do think.

778
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: Also, I know she's been dealing with some injuries, but

779
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: she hasn't played great. She hasn't looked great. She turned

780
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: the ball over around five turnovers a game. So to me,

781
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: that was part of my question was, well, she's not

782
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: looking good at all.

783
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 6: How many games do you watched start to finish. I'm

784
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 6: just curious. I'm not trying to put you on this, so.

785
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: I'll probably start to finish three or four, I said,

786
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you guys on the show because

787
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: they've started while we're here, you know what I mean,

788
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: Like you and I are in here, like right now,

789
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: this game started at four. I'll probably I'm gonna finish

790
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: this game. So maybe maybe even a little bit more.

791
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: No, I'm just asking.

792
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: But so the the thing I've had, the issue I've

793
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: had is, and I mentioned it was when she's playing great,

794
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: we talk about it. But the coverage You've heard me

795
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: say this for weeks and for months. My concern was

796
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: the only coverage is if she filed hard. That's the storyline.

797
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: Her and angeuries, that's the storyline. RG three's got something

798
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: to say. That's the storyline. And to me, I was like,

799
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: when is it gonna be Hey she looked good to

800
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: night she had thirty and ten, or hey you got

801
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: you in a bad night, Hey she has. She's struggling

802
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: from three. You wouldn't even know she's in a three

803
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: point contest. She' shooting like twenty seven percent, twenty eight percent.

804
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: And other teams they're playing well, they had a good game.

805
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: This person doing that, this this team is on a streak.

806
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: To me, the main coverage becomes she's getting a file

807
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: too hard, the officiating isn't good. They're hating on her.

808
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: Don't you know she's a cash Kyle. Those are the conversations,

809
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: and to me, it's a disservice to the league and

810
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: the players when that's why it can't be when it's

811
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: solely the conversation.

812
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 6: But that's what I'm saying, like, you can't take the

813
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 6: league seriously if you're not going to cover it honestly.

814
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 6: If she plays well, give her credit. If she doesn't

815
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 6: play well, talk about it. It doesn't mean you hate her.

816
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 6: You wanted to fail, you want the league to fail.

817
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 6: She's not You're not shooting the ball well, I.

818
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: Mean, is that crime there?

819
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: As much as much as we and I we kind of,

820
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, joking different. On Patrick Mahomes, we both agreed

821
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: throughout the whole season he's not playing well. He's not

822
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: looking like Patrick, and our longer perspectives were different, but

823
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: we both acknowledged numbers are the same. He's off, he's

824
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: not even And I used to tell you my concern

825
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: was he wasn't even making the easy path, like oh

826
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: that's a gimme, that's a seven yard little quick out,

827
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, he's overthrowing people. So obviously there

828
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: was a lot to it, But my point is acknowledging it,

829
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: covering it, it's okay, and so yeah, but I think

830
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: that's been my big thing. When when they're playing well,

831
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: when there's other storylines things are going on, she's not

832
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: playing well, whatever. It doesn't always have to be everyone's hating,

833
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: she's getting filed hard, or she and Angel Reese are beefing.

834
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: That's kind of only it's the only headlines you get.

835
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: To me, that's a dis service to the league, all Right,

836
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: the clippers, the clippers,
