Speaker 1: Got a pull question I believe got a stat of
Speaker 1: the day. All of that coming up. Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: announced yesterday that they would expand the playoff field of
Speaker 1: sixteen teams this season. Here is the commissioner, Rob Manfred
Speaker 1: explaining the playoff format in baseball. It's going to be
Speaker 1: eight teams from each league, the three division winners, the
Speaker 1: three second place teams, and then the next two teams
Speaker 1: with the best record. There will be no first round buys.
Speaker 1: It'll be just pure seating one versus eight, two verses seven,
Speaker 1: and the advantage to winning the division is all three
Speaker 1: games in each series. Yeah, three game series, and they'll
Speaker 1: be played at home, all at the sight of the
Speaker 1: club with the higher ranking. No, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: we needed to address anything up, but the commissioner desperate times,
Speaker 1: desperate measures. Is is something that they will adopt as
Speaker 1: they move forward. We rarely work backwards. We you know,
Speaker 1: it's using two steps forward and at least two steps
Speaker 1: back or one step back. In this case, it might
Speaker 1: just be two steps forward. And you know you're going
Speaker 1: to have sixteen teams. Everybody else is adding more playoff teams,
Speaker 1: So Major League Baseball is going to do the same.
Speaker 1: Up until nineteen sixty nine, the regular season winners of
Speaker 1: the American League and National League met in the World Series.
Speaker 1: Then they expanded to four playoff teams until nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 1: then the wild card game came around. Since then, it
Speaker 1: keeps growing. We've gone from eight to ten to now sixteen.
Speaker 1: That's over half the league. So it's similar to what
Speaker 1: you have in the NBA. In the NHL and making
Speaker 1: the playoffs used to be a big deal. Teams earned
Speaker 1: those parties in the clubhouse. But things have changed, which
Speaker 1: means the regular season will be watered down a little bit.
Speaker 1: Although baseball it's been watered down this year with sixty
Speaker 1: regular season games. Now you're going to have all of
Speaker 1: those playoff games. The possibility for all that playoff revenue
Speaker 1: just makes too much sense. So I get the feeling
Speaker 1: expanded playoffs are here to stay. The question is are
Speaker 1: they going to be adding more teams here? But you know,
Speaker 1: this is something that baseball has been looking at doing
Speaker 1: and they finally got around to doing it and adding
Speaker 1: more playoff teams with the sixty game regular season schedule. Mcklevin,
Speaker 1: what is the poll question today? Does sixteen teams watered
Speaker 1: down the MLB Playoffs sixty eight percent. Yes, this year.
Speaker 1: This year, it doesn't in my opinion. You know this
Speaker 1: is different because this is sixty games and all of
Speaker 1: these games are going to be important. Now, the fact
Speaker 1: that we're going to go from ten to sixteen, so
Speaker 1: you're adding six more teams, will part of the regular
Speaker 1: season be watered down, I guess. But still it's going
Speaker 1: to be your seating two of where you are one
Speaker 1: through eight in the American League, in the Nationals. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with it. I told you I'm not going to nitpick.
Speaker 1: I'm I was thrilled to have baseball back, even the
Speaker 1: five inning rain shortened game with the Yankees and the Nationals.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, you know, Clayton Kershaw with his back and
Speaker 1: he was scratched, and then they bring in Dustin may Man.
Speaker 1: He was a forced last night Dodgers. You know when
Speaker 1: you lose Clayton Kershaw and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you bring in on what a twenty three year old
Speaker 1: and he is thrown gas there last night. And it's
Speaker 1: not just that great pictures. You have velocity, it's what
Speaker 1: you do with your curve, your slider, your changeup and
Speaker 1: the variation there in speed. That's where you get something
Speaker 1: that's really scary. And you find that with the Marquee pitchers,
Speaker 1: that ability to throw a fastball and a changeup and
Speaker 1: make it look the same. Scherzer usually does that extremely well,
Speaker 1: and they showed it last night. It was pretty cool
Speaker 1: piece of TV that ESPN had where they show you
Speaker 1: what his fastball is and I believe what his changeup
Speaker 1: is and the difference in when it arrives at the plate,
Speaker 1: but it's thrown in the same motion and these hitters
Speaker 1: up there and you're trying to guess a little bit.
Speaker 1: But last night the Yankees got to him, including gian
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton with the home run. What's the poll question?
Speaker 1: Mcleven sixteen teams my side question? Did you like the
Speaker 1: cardboard cutouts? And also if you want to ask, what
Speaker 1: did you guys think of fan noise attempts or whatever? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to criticize Cutty. I'm fine. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be critical because it's easy to be critical,
Speaker 1: and I think we have to remember where we were
Speaker 1: two months ago, three months ago. And if this isn't
Speaker 1: it's the new crazy, is what I call it. Not
Speaker 1: the new normal, We're not going to do this the
Speaker 1: following season. Most likely we won't be doing this, but
Speaker 1: now if you want to try it, and it feels
Speaker 1: like this is in an experimental moment for all of
Speaker 1: these leagues to try new things. The NBA trying new
Speaker 1: things in Orlando, Baseball certainly trying new things. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen with football. Can they try
Speaker 1: new things? College football? Can they try new things? I
Speaker 1: saw where Barry Alvarez warrens Wisconsin athletics at risk if
Speaker 1: football season is canceled. I think Barry is he still
Speaker 1: heading up the athletic departments, the athletic director at Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: former head coach, so he's the athletic director. He's projecting
Speaker 1: revenue losses between sixty and seventy million dollars. If Wisconsin
Speaker 1: plays a conference only ten game season, the losses will
Speaker 1: amount to more than one hundred million. If the upcoming
Speaker 1: football season is canceled because of the Krona virus. You're
Speaker 1: also seeing the PAC twelve came out and said that
Speaker 1: we're going to do conference only ten game schedule and
Speaker 1: we're going to start a couple of weeks later. It's
Speaker 1: all fluid. You know, it's a sliding scale here of
Speaker 1: being able to do this. When you can do this,
Speaker 1: the safeguards that are going to be put into play.
Speaker 1: There's a whole lot of money at stake here, and
Speaker 1: that's why these athletic directors, Chancellor's presidents, commissioners are trying
Speaker 1: to ensure that their sport does not get canceled because
Speaker 1: it's one thing to delay it, and if you even
Speaker 1: want to push it back, postpone it to the spring,
Speaker 1: then you still want to get that revenue. I saw
Speaker 1: where urban Meyer said that if football gets moved to
Speaker 1: the spring, you know these high draft picks, he would
Speaker 1: recommend that they don't play. I don't think urban Meyer
Speaker 1: would have said that if he was still coaching at
Speaker 1: Ohio State, where hey, if it moves back to the spring,
Speaker 1: then I'm going to tell my first round talent or
Speaker 1: second round talent to not show up. It's like a
Speaker 1: rod saying, hey, if I'm the owner of the Mets,
Speaker 1: there's going to be a salary cap. I don't think
Speaker 1: he would have said that when he was playing, when
Speaker 1: he was stealing three hundred million dollars from Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball teams. But maybe maybe I also saw a story
Speaker 1: here and I didn't realize it was his story, but
Speaker 1: I saw the headline. J R. Smith only packed a
Speaker 1: week's worth of underwear for the NBA bubble. All right,
Speaker 1: you got me, I'm gonna click on it. So JR. Smith,
Speaker 1: who's with the Lakers, got signed late. He says, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I pack like seven pairs of underwear because I figured
Speaker 1: I'd be good for once a day. But then I
Speaker 1: ain't calculate all the showers in between everything that I'd
Speaker 1: be doing, so I'd be running through them in like
Speaker 1: two three days. We got a good laundry system. Now,
Speaker 1: can somebody help out JR. Smith? Please just help him out?
Speaker 1: Like the meals. You know, he's he's got it tough man.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's able to do this, but
Speaker 1: I God, I wish him. I'm gonna pray for him. Yeah, pout.
Speaker 1: I actually took the other side. It's kind of shoddy journalism.
Speaker 1: Jared Smith only packed a week's worth of underwear. He
Speaker 1: spoke to supposed to pack like seventy pair in case
Speaker 1: they go to the title, right, seven seems fair to
Speaker 1: bring on a road trip. I'm totally down with j R.
Speaker 1: I always run out of underwear because when you're athletic
Speaker 1: like me and JR. You wet through. You got to
Speaker 1: do two or three a day. So that's half your
Speaker 1: underwear supply him one day. That's a lot of reliance
Speaker 1: on the laundry, which he says is good. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: if it came from somebody other than Jerald Smith, then
Speaker 1: I might be a little more lenient. But this is
Speaker 1: a guy who's complained since he got there and the food,
Speaker 1: and now he didn't pack enough underwear. He's going in
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, who are probably going to be there
Speaker 1: for three months. I think if you do the calculations,
Speaker 1: you'd probably say, all right, I'm going to pack twice
Speaker 1: as much. That seems logical. If you're gonna be there
Speaker 1: for three months, that might be logical. And it's not
Speaker 1: like you can go out to Target and they have
Speaker 1: somebody buy you underwear. And I don't think you could
Speaker 1: get any shipments either, Can you? I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know. Can his wife send him underwear to make
Speaker 1: sure that he's going to be okay there in the
Speaker 1: in the bubble Yemmi Club? Can he said a flunkey
Speaker 1: to like a team assistant. Can nobody's allowed to go out?
Speaker 1: Can someone from like uh what it called Tommy John
Speaker 1: just drop off a box in front of hotel and
Speaker 1: peel out. I don't know if you can do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could get Can you get
Speaker 1: mail in the bubble? Yeah, I'm sure you can get Amazon. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's say somehow the Dan Patrick Show, we're invited to
Speaker 1: cover at the NBA Playoffs, and we knew we were
Speaker 1: gonna be down there for two months? In honesty, how
Speaker 1: many pair of underwear would you bring down there? If
Speaker 1: you knew we're gonna be there for two months? You
Speaker 1: had laundry service, but this is three months? Okay, three months?
Speaker 1: How many pair would you bring? And how many pair
Speaker 1: do you own? Um? Well, I have my Launerie, I
Speaker 1: mean might have a my special. I don't own more
Speaker 1: than yeah. See, yeah, I'd probably go two weeks. That
Speaker 1: seems like a fair number. I think ten to fourteen
Speaker 1: sounds about right for three months in case you can't
Speaker 1: do a lot of laundry that week. But but somebody
Speaker 1: is going to do the laundry for you, I'm guessing,
Speaker 1: so you could you know you could have seven in
Speaker 1: the wash and then you're still good with the others. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know who's dying to get in on this. Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what you pack five ten pairs of underwear
Speaker 1: and the rest of the way you are you're extra comfortab. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but but you don't wear underwear, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have a few backups and you have enough to
Speaker 1: get by, but you could also the commando thing is
Speaker 1: an option. Hopefully no one pulls your shorts down and doesn't.
Speaker 1: Once again, what did I say today? Keep it brief, brief. Yes,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to get stuff delivered there though,
Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah, so have his wife send him
Speaker 1: some underwear. By the way, I don't think that going
Speaker 1: commando when you're athletic is an option. I don't not
Speaker 1: when you're playing basketball. Correct, No, and so, but but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that they have to be allowed to
Speaker 1: get deliveries there. So like, just have more underwear scent
Speaker 1: to your room. Yeah, it's j R. Smith, that's the
Speaker 1: problem I have. As Todd says, hey Jr. Knows the score. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's right, he does it. No, No, he does not,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd. Chris and New York joints us on
Speaker 1: the program. Good morning, Chris. We'll talk to Joe Buck
Speaker 1: coming up in about ten minutes from now. Hi, Chris, Hi, There?
Speaker 1: What UPDP? Dennetts five eight, one seventy one and I
Speaker 1: haven't start of the day. Oh okay, do you want
Speaker 1: some music? Absolutely? Okay, take your pick on the music.
Speaker 1: I don't carry him. The New York Mets have the
Speaker 1: best winning percentage on opening day after starting oh and eighth,
Speaker 1: had gone thirty eight and twelve cents for six fifty
Speaker 1: five overall winning percentage. That's the stat of the day
Speaker 1: from Chris in New York, who didn't take it all
Speaker 1: the way up to the post. So let me help
Speaker 1: him a little bit. By the way, if every preseason
Speaker 1: series goes the distance in baseball sixteen team formats, so
Speaker 1: best of three to start out, then best to five,
Speaker 1: then best of seven, and then the World Series best
Speaker 1: of seven, there would be sixty five postseason games this year,
Speaker 1: And as Jason Stark points out, there were a total
Speaker 1: of sixty six postseason games in the entire decade of
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, but that's because we didn't have as
Speaker 1: many playoff rounds. There'd be a lot of playoff Baseball
Speaker 1: this year, Dustin and Arkansas joins us on the program.
Speaker 1: Hi Dustin, Hey, mister Patrick, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: Five eleven, two h five. I'm hi. I'm an old
Speaker 1: school baseball fan, and the thing I'm most excited about
Speaker 1: this year is this might be the last time we
Speaker 1: ever get to see a World Series where the two
Speaker 1: teams did not meet in the regular season. I'm really
Speaker 1: excited about that idea. Okay, thank you, Dustin, and you know,
Speaker 1: the whole inter league play. I thank the Yankees and
Speaker 1: Dodgers don't face one another. I'm fine with all of this.
Speaker 1: I am. I have no complaints. Cardboard cutouts, odd sums, uh,
Speaker 1: the you know, public address announcer, uh, you know, a
Speaker 1: runner on second base to start extra innings. I'm good
Speaker 1: with all of this. My bar is really low. I
Speaker 1: just want to have something that is real in front
Speaker 1: of me when I'm watching it. But that being said,
Speaker 1: some of those calls in the Yankees game last night,
Speaker 1: is that Angel her No, it was behind the plate
Speaker 1: yes time. The cardboard cutouts, I think Nclevan was kind
Speaker 1: of alluded to that. I think it's kind of corny
Speaker 1: if they're raising money for charities, which I know at
Speaker 1: least some teams are. It's going to food banks and
Speaker 1: things like that. That's fantastic. But if there's any team
Speaker 1: making money off the cheeseball fatheads or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call those, I think it's stilly. Would you call
Speaker 1: yourself fad a cheeseball fead Let's still it's stupid. Let's
Speaker 1: say the Broncos can't play football with fans in this.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see the heads of the season
Speaker 1: ticket holes. That would fifty dollars. You can put your
Speaker 1: son in the stands at a brunch. Where is that exactly?
Speaker 1: Is he getting on regularly that you get him cut
Speaker 1: away on National Today? But it's gonna be a sea
Speaker 1: of people and you probably won't see him at all. Again, Okay,
Speaker 1: caveat being if you're raising money, if they're doing it
Speaker 1: for a good cause, that's great, But if they're making
Speaker 1: money off of it, it's bad. You are, mister philanthropy.
Speaker 1: You are. When I think of philanthropy, I think of you.
Speaker 1: I'm all for using money for charity. Here one of
Speaker 1: the great ones of all time. Not get rid of those.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tommy, thank you, thank you. By the way,
Speaker 1: Ethan who is back and the sports world is a
Speaker 1: better place. He sent me a note um the Nationals
Speaker 1: the first defending World Series champion in baseball history. Who's
Speaker 1: top four home run hitters from the previous season. We're
Speaker 1: not in the opening day lineup. You had Anthony Rendon
Speaker 1: who was playing for the Angels, Man Soto who tested positive,
Speaker 1: Matt Adams, Brian Doser all at least twenty home runs
Speaker 1: last season. Rendon, Adams, and Dozer with new team, Soto
Speaker 1: is on the injury list. It was just, you know,
Speaker 1: when you start to think about the day. Yesterday in
Speaker 1: the morning, we found out that Seattle and people probably
Speaker 1: found out that Seattle has a hockey team. Yes, and
Speaker 1: they're going to announce the new nickname, and they did
Speaker 1: the Kraken's I'll spare you the pain of hearing what
Speaker 1: Todd was doing with his If you missed in, you're lucky.
Speaker 1: He gave us some concessions. Yeah, I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 1: It's nice some play on words there with the logo
Speaker 1: kracking for a Seattle. Then Washington came out and said
Speaker 1: that they're going to call themselves the Washington Football team.
Speaker 1: And then I realized after we had their head coach,
Speaker 1: Ron river On last Hour, it's not only one year.
Speaker 1: This could be a two year process for Washington to
Speaker 1: be now. It shouldn't take you two years to come
Speaker 1: up it is, and I'm gonna guess that owner is
Speaker 1: probably saying, how long can we drag this out for?
Speaker 1: Because I'm going to stick it to somebody here. And
Speaker 1: then Ron Rivera said, well, it's going to take a year,
Speaker 1: maybe a year and a half, and I went, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. But if that's what Daniel Snyder is
Speaker 1: telling you, you're just the coach there. Yeah, Pauline, Dan
Speaker 1: last hour you said you had a source, and I
Speaker 1: trust you that said it takes a little while to
Speaker 1: change a logo from a team and allthing like that.
Speaker 1: But deep, deep down, I believe that Daniel Snyder said, look,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to change this name for years and
Speaker 1: years and years. Every year I was able to dodge this,
Speaker 1: and this year I'm not able to dodge it. But
Speaker 1: you know what, I could put it on hold for
Speaker 1: another year. I could get another year where they didn't
Speaker 1: tell me what to do. And I believe that's as
Speaker 1: much part of this as any logistics when you're a billionaire,
Speaker 1: you can get anything you want and done quickly if
Speaker 1: you write the big enough check. Are they going to
Speaker 1: get the trademark? They have to have a nickname first
Speaker 1: before they put anything into play. They could announce it
Speaker 1: without bringing out logos and uniforms and all that stuff
Speaker 1: if they chosen. You want to roll this out fairness
Speaker 1: to Daniel Snyder, I'm told it's at least an eight
Speaker 1: month process to get all of this. They have to
Speaker 1: make sure they got the trademark for the nickname. But
Speaker 1: if it goes over a year, then yeah, this is
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder dragging it out. And you know, Ron Rivera
Speaker 1: said that his wife they held a yard sale when
Speaker 1: he left Carolina and sold all of his Carolina panther gear.
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Washington do that with all their Redskins gear,
Speaker 1: raise some money, do something positive for a change. Daniel Snyder,
Speaker 1: I said this from the beginning. How does he screw
Speaker 1: it up? Right? And he's going to probably already has,
Speaker 1: but do something positive with this. You're going to get
Speaker 1: all of that new revenue stream. Could be the best
Speaker 1: of both worlds there for him. Joe Bach said, to
Speaker 1: join us your phone calls as well. Are welcome. Well,
Speaker 1: so talk to George Brett. Are we sure it was
Speaker 1: on this day when he had the Pine to I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go all in, put all my chips on the table.
Speaker 1: I know I've made several mistakes with the scoreboard in
Speaker 1: the on this day in history. Now, keep in mind
Speaker 1: the game started on this date. It wasn't completing the
Speaker 1: Pine Tart incident. I'm very hopeful it was, in fact,
Speaker 1: thirty seven years ago. And Ethan, our stats guy, graduated
Speaker 1: from Harvard. He sent me an unbelievable stat about George
Speaker 1: Breath after the Pine Tar game. It's all I'll have
Speaker 1: that for you coming up. But that's Ethan just doing
Speaker 1: what Ethan does. That's hot. Yeah, wow, thank you, Real
Speaker 1: timely twenty after the hour. Joe Buck will join us
Speaker 1: after this from the Dan Patrick Show. Oh when's the
Speaker 1: last time you got a great night's sleep? I did
Speaker 1: last night. I mean, That's why I'm in a good
Speaker 1: mood to put up with Todd's nonsense here. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually had a terrible night's sleep. Not that you asked,
Speaker 1: but someone egged our house and it's not even Halloween.
Speaker 1: What is that about? We're live in a nice Subourban
Speaker 1: town in Connecticut, and we heard a bang at eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock in night outside my daughter's window and they hit
Speaker 1: the side of the house and they hit the front
Speaker 1: of the house. There was like it wasn't just one egg.
Speaker 1: Someone threw like several eggs, some kind of egg by
Speaker 1: drive by thing. Yeah, and my aim is not that good. Mike.
Speaker 1: My shoulders and I you know, I can't get that much.
Speaker 1: Does that? I'm eleven o'clock at night on July twenty thirty. Yes, Dan,
Speaker 1: I don't want to speculate, but he's got a seventeen
Speaker 1: year old son. Maybe he spurned someone, or maybe there's
Speaker 1: some sort of a triangle in the in the public
Speaker 1: school system and he burned the wrong person. It was
Speaker 1: very traumatiz who egg Fritzie's house? Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us
Speaker 1: live every weekday morning nine to noon Eastern or six

Speaker 1: station for The Dan Patrick Show at Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: dot com, or stream us live every day on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app by searching F S. R. Tyler. The moderator
Speaker 1: moderating chat Row said that some people had some lines
Speaker 1: of swords for Fritzie. Fritzie's house got egg last night?
Speaker 1: People said, are you going to do mock egg egg lines?
Speaker 1: And also it's a yoke off too. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I was traumatically. This is late night, the
Speaker 1: bad experience that we had with people throwing eggs at
Speaker 1: our house. Who would expect that on July twenty third,
Speaker 1: or any date other than Halloween, And even then you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. He's Joe Buckley, play by Playboys
Speaker 1: for Fox Sports NFL Baseball, and he's got a game
Speaker 1: this Saturday. He's got the Yankees and the Nationals. Joe
Speaker 1: kind enough to join us. What kind of high jinks
Speaker 1: did you get into when you were growing up? I
Speaker 1: never egged anybody. I felt like that would come back
Speaker 1: on us and bring shame upon my father, so I
Speaker 1: didn't think that was a good thing to do. I
Speaker 1: will say that you might want to investigate me in
Speaker 1: this whole caper because for some reason, Todd keeps texting
Speaker 1: my wife. I don't know if you know that, but
Speaker 1: Todd cannot for some reason differentiate my number from my
Speaker 1: wife's number her and so periodically, my wife would go
Speaker 1: that guy's text me, who is this guy? I don't
Speaker 1: want to PLoP his bubble? Do you think it's an
Speaker 1: accident Joe? I know, I don't. I think he's fallen
Speaker 1: in love with her from Celebrity Watch Party and her
Speaker 1: time at ESPN. And now I finally took matters into
Speaker 1: my own hands and egged his house. Todd, you want
Speaker 1: to responsible that Joe may make my house because I
Speaker 1: have both numbers stored under Joe's name, and I guess
Speaker 1: when I'm sending it it's going to the wrong place.
Speaker 1: And I've done this like several times now. You think
Speaker 1: I would have gotten years figured out, yere. Joe's been
Speaker 1: married for a while. I know, but don't get it.
Speaker 1: I'm not, but I'm not that hard. Do you do
Speaker 1: this to your other guests spouses? Very rarely? Did you?
Speaker 1: Did you have fans show up at your house to
Speaker 1: meet your dad growing up? Um? Yeah? But you know
Speaker 1: the funny thing was my dad was so open with
Speaker 1: that that wherever we were, if we were dinner and
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen him in two weeks, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: Dad's home. We're all going to dinner and then we'd
Speaker 1: sit down at this Italian restaurant every time, Canetto's in
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, and somebody would come up to the table
Speaker 1: and he would pull out a chair and go sit
Speaker 1: on down, tell me about your life. And then you
Speaker 1: got like Johnny from fiduc A, Kentucky, going well, I
Speaker 1: grew up in the fifties and yeah, so they didn't
Speaker 1: need to come to our house. As my point, at
Speaker 1: the grocery store, at restaurants, it didn't matter that everybody
Speaker 1: was his friend. I'm wondering what you took away from
Speaker 1: the broadcast last night. Are you watching as a broadcaster
Speaker 1: or can you just watch as a fan? No, I'm
Speaker 1: watching these days as a broadcaster. I don't typically do that,
Speaker 1: but I think when i have Tomorrow night on the
Speaker 1: horizon and I'm going to be in a studio in Denver,
Speaker 1: Smoltz is going to be in a studio in Jersey,
Speaker 1: and MLB our producer Pete Macheska is going to be
Speaker 1: in La So we're gonna be all spread out. I
Speaker 1: watched the game last night and Matt and Alex were
Speaker 1: released together in the studio, but you know, we're spread
Speaker 1: out all over the place, and John is doing a
Speaker 1: bunch of games, so that's why he's at MLB, So
Speaker 1: in order to bring us together, it would have been ridiculous.
Speaker 1: So we're going to do a dry run today. We're
Speaker 1: going to see how it all works communication wise, and
Speaker 1: then and then we'll go do it. But I was
Speaker 1: practicing last night doing the game off the television, and
Speaker 1: it's a little different seeing the ball come kind of
Speaker 1: at you instead of watching the ball go away, which
Speaker 1: is where we you know, see it and sit during
Speaker 1: a regular game. But also when you're you're going to
Speaker 1: call this game, and we know, we know that it's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy times here, But how long do you
Speaker 1: think you're doing games before you're not really acknowledging the
Speaker 1: lack of ambiance there at a baseball game. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: kind of feel and maybe I'm wrong, I think, but
Speaker 1: I really don't want to beat that drum too much tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point, I think this becomes a
Speaker 1: nice distraction and something to theoretically bring people together and
Speaker 1: just constantly reminding everybody of everything that we've all been
Speaker 1: through in our own ways over the last four months.
Speaker 1: I think people are tuning into a game to get
Speaker 1: away from that, so I don't nobody cares that John
Speaker 1: and I are not together. Nobody cared, you know. I
Speaker 1: think they just want to watch the game. And it's
Speaker 1: almost like announcer guy, Okay, enough shut up, just let
Speaker 1: me watch Aaron Judge try to get a hit of
Speaker 1: Steven Strassburg. Yeah. The feeling I got is give me
Speaker 1: the tutorial if you want to give me a once
Speaker 1: a round to drive by and just say this is
Speaker 1: to set up, this is how it looks, and then
Speaker 1: that's it after. You know, I just wanted to hear
Speaker 1: the game. I didn't want to hear hey this is
Speaker 1: weird for us to call the game, or hey the
Speaker 1: sound or the cardboard cutouts. We want to get away.
Speaker 1: We want this, we need this, and the less I
Speaker 1: think you dwell on, I think it is the better approach. Joe,
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah. I mean we're doing the virtual fan thing,
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously everybody's going to weigh in and
Speaker 1: some will like it, or most won't care because it
Speaker 1: just looks like a game. You know. The ones that
Speaker 1: are mad and stomping their feet will go on social
Speaker 1: media and stomp their feet. But I think trying to
Speaker 1: make it look and sound. This is entertainment. To look
Speaker 1: and sound as normal and as it's always been is
Speaker 1: kind of our job. So if if we're constantly going, hey,
Speaker 1: all these people are fake, or hey, we're coming back
Speaker 1: from every break and we see cardboards, you know, steal
Speaker 1: shots and moving shots of cardboard cutouts, I think that
Speaker 1: defeats the purpose. That's why people are watching the ballgame,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I could I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: What about the crowd noise? Are you pumping in crowd
Speaker 1: noise and to what extent? Yeah, I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of a work in progress. You know, they're doing it
Speaker 1: in these stadiums, and so typically our ambient MIC's just
Speaker 1: pick up what's in the stadium. We're not adding anything.
Speaker 1: So I think that's sufficient. If that's sufficient, then we'll
Speaker 1: go with that. But you know, I was talking to
Speaker 1: our producer and whoever these stadiums employ to do these
Speaker 1: crowd noise tracks, I'm sure they don't care what it
Speaker 1: sounds like on TV or on Fox or whatever. If
Speaker 1: they do, you know, how good are they in each stadium?
Speaker 1: So if it's not right and it seems weird, I
Speaker 1: think it's up to us to try to make it
Speaker 1: sound right and normal. It can't be a pop up
Speaker 1: and everybody you're playing a reaction like people are doing
Speaker 1: the wave and standing and screaming, it's a pop up.
Speaker 1: What do you think of extended playoffs here and that
Speaker 1: format for baseball? You know, to me, this was always
Speaker 1: the opportunity to have the test kit out there and
Speaker 1: see what works and what doesn't. I'm excited about a
Speaker 1: sixty games season. I know Smoltz is just kind of
Speaker 1: the immediacy of it, and I really wanted to see
Speaker 1: even more. You know, if you're ever going to bring
Speaker 1: bring a pitch clock in and see how that goes.
Speaker 1: They're doing the runner at second base and extra innings,
Speaker 1: which I like, let's get it going, let's let's find
Speaker 1: let's get a conclusion to this thing, and the same
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. You know, if if all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they have this seating and people seem to latch
Speaker 1: onto it, I just think twenty twenty is its own thing.
Speaker 1: And going back to the drawing board next offseason, They've
Speaker 1: got a new collective bargaining agreement to put together, and
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things that are potentially
Speaker 1: out there, like the universal dh I you know, some
Speaker 1: people like it, some people don't. I like the two
Speaker 1: different styles of baseball. But you know, throw it against
Speaker 1: the wall in twenty twenty, see what sticks, and then
Speaker 1: move on in the future. Got anything cool in the office?
Speaker 1: There is that your office? No, I'm in an Airbnb
Speaker 1: in Denver, Color. I don't. I'm scared to open drawers
Speaker 1: in an AIRBND. I don't. I don't want to know
Speaker 1: what's in there. I don't know whose hair is hanging
Speaker 1: out on the floor right now. It's certainly not mine.
Speaker 1: I do not have long black hair. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But there's a pile of long black hair in the
Speaker 1: corner of my room, and it's it's whoever was here
Speaker 1: last boy? Maybe Troy Palamalu was there. It does smell
Speaker 1: like head and shoulders. Uh. You're working with Michelobe Ultra
Speaker 1: and you you launched the hashtag Ultra buck Calls, and
Speaker 1: I know that you had some fun with this. And
Speaker 1: then you know that people would send videos and then
Speaker 1: you would do play by play, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden people sent you porn and then said do pay.
Speaker 1: I got an offer. Then I got an offer. It
Speaker 1: to change directions entirely in my career and actually do
Speaker 1: live play by play for the visually impaired. That was
Speaker 1: in the contract for webcam porn. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you call it a video, just webcam porn. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and then I asked my mom
Speaker 1: and she's like, either picked your relationship with me or
Speaker 1: go ahead, and yeah, and I picked my relationship with
Speaker 1: my mom. And your dad never got that offer, I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: I don't think he did. But I think a Groveley voice,
Speaker 1: you know, let's take a look and see what's happening
Speaker 1: in the bedroom number four, I think I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think the call. I don't believe what I just saw.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be, uh go crazy crazy. Explain this contest
Speaker 1: you're doing with Michaelobultrap. Yeah, it's kind of a take
Speaker 1: on what we did at the beginning of the pandemic
Speaker 1: when in this shelter in Place, which last time I checked,
Speaker 1: had over ten million views, and it was just play
Speaker 1: by play of people doing stuff around the house. Now,
Speaker 1: that could be you know, cooking chicken wings and a
Speaker 1: barbecue grill. That could be playing with the dog, that
Speaker 1: could be some ridiculous shot that could be people on
Speaker 1: a lake messing around and doing some trick surfing or whatever.
Speaker 1: I've seen it all and I put my play by
Speaker 1: play to it, and on August first, the contest ends,
Speaker 1: and then we'll put four of them back on the internet.
Speaker 1: That makes people famous and something they're showing their friends
Speaker 1: and family for the rest of time. But so you
Speaker 1: have all the videos there, you've already done them, and
Speaker 1: then I've done some. I'm gonna do more I think Monday.
Speaker 1: So it's the contest is open till August first, but
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of them. The bottom line is
Speaker 1: when people clear out their living room and make a
Speaker 1: makeshift hoop out of an old Adida's box and play
Speaker 1: two on two hoops, that's fun and I'm happy to
Speaker 1: do play by play to that. People are creative, as
Speaker 1: you know, we both know from what they send in
Speaker 1: on social media or whatever. So this has just tappened
Speaker 1: into that, what's your NFL schedule? What have you been
Speaker 1: told so far? You know, I think that obviously the
Speaker 1: preseason game that we had scheduled as gone. But we
Speaker 1: open up with Tampa Bay and Tom Brady at Drew
Speaker 1: Brees and the Saints the first weekend on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of Brady early, and it's a
Speaker 1: lot of Cowboys late. And I'm hoping like crazy that
Speaker 1: we're there at the stadiums doing these games. But I
Speaker 1: don't know anything more than any fan does. And I
Speaker 1: think until we get around to it and these guys
Speaker 1: open camp and we see how it goes with this,
Speaker 1: you know, it's all speculation. But I haven't heard anything
Speaker 1: to tell me I'm not going to be there on
Speaker 1: the first weekend of the season. I'm wondering if we
Speaker 1: have fans at a baseball game before we have fans
Speaker 1: at a football game, Like do you see that NASCAR
Speaker 1: tested it out at Bristol Motor Speedway and they were
Speaker 1: able to get what twenty thousand in there? But could
Speaker 1: you see baseball as a possible ability or the fact
Speaker 1: that these football stadiums are a lot of these have
Speaker 1: a little bit more room there for these fans. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's all on the board. I would not
Speaker 1: be surprised if, if you know, the flattening of the
Speaker 1: curve happens. It certainly doesn't seem because of these you know,
Speaker 1: outbreaks in these hot, hot cities that we keep hearing
Speaker 1: about in states. Really, if this is really in the
Speaker 1: near future, I think kind of leaving it where it
Speaker 1: is right now and let everybody take a breath and
Speaker 1: see where this goes is the best idea. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I could see before the end of the season they're
Speaker 1: fans socially distanced in the ballparks. Hopefully the experience is
Speaker 1: so unbelievable on TV that we don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about that. It's great to talk to you. I hope
Speaker 1: the kids are good there, Joe, And yeah, everybody's healthy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the old six am wake up call for
Speaker 1: the fifty one year old dad, two year old twin boy,
Speaker 1: what were you thinking? What were you thinking? My wife
Speaker 1: is so tired of me saying, you know, I've already
Speaker 1: done this, or I'm too old for this. I'm like
Speaker 1: Riggs or Merton, whichever one said that I'm getting too
Speaker 1: old for this. I am too old for this. But
Speaker 1: it's awesome, it's great. But the mornings are really hard
Speaker 1: for me, and it's always there's a an ability to
Speaker 1: act like you don't hear them crying that you learn
Speaker 1: as a parent. But you know, my wife would just
Speaker 1: nudge me like it does. I heard if you know
Speaker 1: my son or daughters were crying, It wasn't one of
Speaker 1: those one. I didn't hear that. I just get the nudge. Hey,
Speaker 1: you go get them in to be two in the morning.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've mastered that or your
Speaker 1: wife can see right through that. No, she sees her,
Speaker 1: but she sleeps through everything. She she slept through me
Speaker 1: leaving in the middle of the night to go egg
Speaker 1: Todd's house. I didn't even know that I left, but
Speaker 1: I wake up. But everything I I. If I hear
Speaker 1: one thing, I'm wide away, so she knows I hear it. Yeah, Um, Todd,
Speaker 1: anything else you want to say to Joe, just to
Speaker 1: kind of me to tell Michelle. Um, say hi to Michelle.
Speaker 1: I sincerely apologize that the way I stored the numbers
Speaker 1: when I'm trying to contact you, either she's getting it
Speaker 1: or you're both getting it, but it's so I don't
Speaker 1: get any of it. She just flips them over to
Speaker 1: me for the shot for the records. It was an
Speaker 1: innocent mistake, and I hope we're still pals and nothing
Speaker 1: untored about. Do you think do you think I care?
Speaker 1: Do you think I really care to. I don't know
Speaker 1: me well enough. Your personality is such that you sound guilty. Man. Well,
Speaker 1: if you check the text, they're all about Joe. We'd
Speaker 1: like to have you on Thursday. Then I don't know
Speaker 1: what I will say this Joe. If he knew it
Speaker 1: was your wife then it then I would have worried,
Speaker 1: because then the messages would have been different. Well, wasn't
Speaker 1: she want cheer later? I'm a big Denver Broncos thing.
Speaker 1: I guess there you go to connected dots. I don't
Speaker 1: want to know Dodd incriminate myself. You just did. I
Speaker 1: have a big Broncos fit. I'll leave it at Todd's
Speaker 1: Mike off, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will. Yeah, just Pat,
Speaker 1: we still have the chaps. We still have the chaps.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. Wow, thank you, Joe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're welcome. That's Joe Buck National's Yankees Saturday night at
Speaker 1: seven Eastern on Fox. You can live off that little
Speaker 1: Broncho cheerleader chaps thing. Todd was a smile on your face.
Speaker 1: Leave Joe Buck alone. It's got a great sense of
Speaker 1: human Yeah, he needs to with you. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break. Uh, let's see, coming up top of
Speaker 1: the hour, we'll talk to George Brett. Fritzie tells me
Speaker 1: it was thirty seven years ago today that the pine
Speaker 1: Tar game took I'm sure George is not tired of
Speaker 1: talking about that. Boy, do you think how many do
Speaker 1: you think he goes a day without somebody bringing up
Speaker 1: the pine tar game? But I read a quotes thing
Speaker 1: that when that happened, he much preferred to be the
Speaker 1: pine tar guy than the hemorrhoid there. Yeah, I know. Here,
Speaker 1: here's the book. How about we have him on and
Speaker 1: we don't bring up the pine Tar game. It'd be
Speaker 1: funny to get to the end of the introdies wondering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well take a break back after this. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch us live every weekday morning nine until noon
Speaker 1: eastern six to nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and
Speaker 1: you can find us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR
Speaker 1: or stream us live every day at YouTube dot com
Speaker 1: slash The Dan Patrick Show. Todd, you can't do this.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't do this. That's not for public assumption. Okay.
Speaker 1: Todd sent me a picture of Joe's wife when she
Speaker 1: was a Bronco cheerleader, Joe Buck's wife. Yeah, she's she's
Speaker 1: seems like she's a really spirited person, a very lovely woman.
Speaker 1: And I apologize that I've been harassing her trying to
Speaker 1: get Joe on the show and her getting those texts. Mens.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Ton? Did you change your phone
Speaker 1: so he stopped doing the have ya? And they have
Speaker 1: different there's different area codes, so that shouldn't happen again.
Speaker 1: Did you delete her number? I did not delete you
Speaker 1: do it now? Just to make sure. Just do it now,
Speaker 1: Mick Lovin, Just just make sure he deletes her number. Okay.
Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez got roughed up last night. He was doing
Speaker 1: the game and that was on the ESPN. He's doing
Speaker 1: uh Yankees and the Nationals, and I had some things
Speaker 1: to say. Alex Rodriguez tells us the biggest sleeper this
Speaker 1: year the Houston Astros, who have the third best odds
Speaker 1: to win the World Series. Not not exactly in the
Speaker 1: sleeper category. Uh. Alex Rodriguez interviewing the commissioner, he said,
Speaker 1: Commissioner Manfred, I want to ask you about the leadership
Speaker 1: efforts to put together all this protocol between the players
Speaker 1: and the team. And I think he tells him what
Speaker 1: a great job that he did on this. Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sorry he got cut off. Great job? Yeah, well thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Not a question in there. But then a Rod questioning
Speaker 1: the commissioner during the Yankees Nationals game. Um, did he
Speaker 1: get in an opportunity to mention that he wanted to
Speaker 1: be an owner? Uh? In that I just praised him
Speaker 1: the whole time. That That was the main contention, by
Speaker 1: the way, at all these tweets is how could a
Speaker 1: Rod talk about MLB issues when he wants to buy
Speaker 1: a team? He can't criticize the league? Okay, so it
Speaker 1: says a Rod is questioning the commissioner during the Yankees
Speaker 1: Nats game. Given that a Rod's trying to get in
Speaker 1: on MLB ownership, Manfred has a meaningful role in that
Speaker 1: would seem to raise some issues that drove ESPN to
Speaker 1: have a Rod not call Mets games this year. Another one,
Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez waxing philosophically about small ball is far too
Speaker 1: high a price to pay for playing baseball during a pandemic.
Speaker 1: Not a small ball guy. Um? And then Alex says
Speaker 1: real baseball is finally being played after two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five days. So let me tell you about this
Speaker 1: at bat I had back in two thousand and two
Speaker 1: for the next seven minutes. Okay, so they're taking a shit,
Speaker 1: He praised Daniel Snyder at all on the way out
Speaker 1: in Ethanning. Yeah, ESPN's gotta I know, they like shiny objects,
Speaker 1: and you want to put somebody in there, but you know,
Speaker 1: a Run's a businessman. You need a baseball person in there,
Speaker 1: not a business person. You know, you gotta. I don't
Speaker 1: know why a Run's become the face of baseball, no whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mclen but it's seriously conflict of interest. If he's trying
Speaker 1: to buy a team. Yes, I would love him in there.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't have him in there, that's all. You know.
Speaker 1: He has to pick. I mean, choose what you want
Speaker 1: to be. You want to be a businessman, be a businessman,
Speaker 1: but you can't be sort of in baseball or you know,
Speaker 1: you're going to be a consultant to the Yankees or
Speaker 1: the Mets, and then you want to buy the Mets
Speaker 1: and can't do it. Just it doesn't look good for
Speaker 1: ESPN to have him in that role. You know, John
Speaker 1: Smoltz just wants to play golf and he's the Fox analyst,
Speaker 1: so there's no agenda, no hidden agenda. You know, Jessica Mendoza,
Speaker 1: you know when she was in the booth and then
Speaker 1: she was part of the Mets, and you can't have this.
Speaker 1: There are other talents out there to bring in and
Speaker 1: a Rod. I would just say to a Rod, decide
Speaker 1: what you want. You want to be an analyst, being
Speaker 1: an analyst, but you can't have all of this here.
Speaker 1: And I would not have him in the booth. If
Speaker 1: he commits to it and people work with him, then
Speaker 1: he's got potential there because he does have great insight
Speaker 1: and you would think that he played it at a
Speaker 1: high level that he has to know the game. But
Speaker 1: I just think the credibility of your broadcast suffers, you know,
Speaker 1: with what he went through, tested positive a couple of times,
Speaker 1: trying to take down Major League Baseball in the process
Speaker 1: at the end of his career, when he went, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of off the rails with that interview he did
Speaker 1: with Mike francessa wfan, you know, and then you want
Speaker 1: to trot him out as your analyst. Just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: And I remember being with John Skipper, the Yankee president
Speaker 1: at the time or the espan president at the time.
Speaker 1: And he said, we're gonna We're gonna have a Rod
Speaker 1: do Sunday Night baseball. And I said, really it goes yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he'll be great. I said, okay, And look,
Speaker 1: I know I don't get along with a Rod and
Speaker 1: vice versa, but I can still respect. There are people
Speaker 1: that I don't get along with who I respect with
Speaker 1: what they do. I just have it. You know, we
Speaker 1: have a difference, that's all. George Bratton will join us
Speaker 1: coming up Final Hour and this Friday, Dann and the
Speaker 1: Dawn at Stan Patrick's show.
