It was friendly for Greg Burhalter, 94 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: it was not friendly for poaching. Do you think it 95 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: was after Do you think he and he and Klinsman 96 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: hang out and watch games together?

I got 105 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: I got a I got a sandwich coming out of 106 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: the microwaveng let me go grab it. Let me come back. Wait, 107 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: who's call? Who's that calling? Oh, it's Polistic's dad. It's 108 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: like it's like their own personal manning cast that they 109 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: have when I watched a US men's team play, No, 110 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: that sounds about right. Look, this has been an absolute disaster. 111 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: This is probably Boy twenty eighteen not qualifying for the 112 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: World Cup, but also not qualifying because of some questionable 113 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: officiating and other game that contributed to US not qualifying. 114 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: But this, this is right now. I'd say it's the 115 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: low point of men's soccer in the United States in 116 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: the past six seven years, because here they are now, 117 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, getting ready for the Gold Cup and it's 118 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: the B team, right, it's definitely a B team coming 119 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: and in a Polistic and other players. Robinson's not playing, 120 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: so it is a B team. But still they get 121 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: absolutely drugged by Switzerland after a loss over the weekend 122 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: and it's for nothing after the first forty minutes of 123 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: this game. And the big thing, right, well, you can 124 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: sit here and say, well, Poachtino is building. It's all 125 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: of these things happening. But you know, we mentioned this 126 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: very briefly last night. You know you can take this 127 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: any way you want to and say, yeah, yeah, let's 128 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: make excuses. But the bottom line is when was the 129 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: last good story coming off of the men's national team, 130 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: either on the field or off the field. I can't 131 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: even tell you because you can't count Poctino being hired 132 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: because so far it's been a disaster. 133 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 4: Right. 134 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the players don't respond to him, 135 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: they don't want to play for him, but clearly, you know, 136 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: guys like Polistic and Robinson you want to play here 137 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: because the oh, by the way, the World Cup is 138 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: next year. Don't you want more as much time with 139 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: your teammates as possible? I you know, I hear you 140 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: can say, hey, we're gonna play a pre tournament. Say, okay, 141 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: I understand, but I mean they automatically qualify, But don't 142 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 1: you want to have as much time with your teammates 143 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: as possible. Like I get that people are upset at 144 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Landon Donovan because he's a guy that actually skipped took 145 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: time off earlier in his career. So when you sit 146 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: here and say, oh, you know, these guys should be playing, 147 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: politic should be playing, I get where that's met with 148 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: with a bit of a side eye by politic and 149 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: politics dad. But I look at what's going and I 150 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: don't even know what they're about. I don't know what 151 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: their identity is. I don't know how well how much 152 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: the players are are excited about playing. I don't know 153 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: how motivated they are. You know, I watched them, and 154 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm watching the first half. I'm going they just look 155 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: like they're they're playing. They don't look like they're motivated, 156 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: they don't look like they are they have any kind 157 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: of edge to them. And again it's still this is 158 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: now how many years, this is like the fifth year 159 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: in a row. Oh, I could say with the third 160 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: head coach, I could say, I don't know who we are. 161 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what we want to be. 162 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: I just don't get a feel that everybody is all 163 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: on board with US soccer going forward when this is 164 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: the pride of all other nations, right and certainly it's 165 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: the prime. You look at the women's side, and they 166 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: figured it all out, They hire the right coaches, they 167 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: have the right players, and look, obviously they have a 168 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: big head start because they were the biggest We're the 169 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: biggest country in the world in women's soccer for a 170 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: long time. But at this point you United said the 171 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: men's thing needs to catch up. Oh, we have all 172 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: these great young players. Well it's been seven years we've 173 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: been we've been hearing about these young players and I 174 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: don't even know if can you even win a game 175 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: in the World Cup, Like, I don't even know they're 176 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: gonna have enough time to get together. I don't even 177 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: know if there's any togetherness about this team. 178 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's the biggest point coming out of 179 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: this land. And Donovan flap is that normally you see 180 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: some inspired soccer, football, basketball, whatever, and take take it 181 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: what you will. We've joked about it and we'll get 182 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: into the NBA Finals in a little bit, but of 183 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: the you know, whether you've got to take it person 184 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: and have the chip on your shoulder as an individual 185 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: or as a squad. Right when Landon Donovan's making comments, yeah, 186 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: he's calling out the guys that are there, but he's 187 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: saying the secondary guys aren't good enough. Right, he's saying 188 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: that without saying it. And when you put up a 189 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: listless effort like this, you're only reinforcing it. And we've 190 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 3: been talking for as long as we've been doing the show, right, 191 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: we've been doing it in eleven years. We touch on 192 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: anything that's big and moving, and we incorporate, and we 193 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: always have women's sports, women's. 194 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: College basketball and soccer, the men's national team as there's 195 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: big headlines. And we've had the selling of hope time 196 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: and again. All right, here's the new striker. Meet the 197 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: new striker, same as the old striker, hurt, ineffective and 198 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: no build, time and time again. 199 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: All right, here's the coaching problems. Well, here's the next 200 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: guy coming in. He's going to fix it all. And 201 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: it takes time, obviously, rebuilds and trying to put yourself 202 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: on par with some of these other nations. 203 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not expecting to be top tier, you're expecting 204 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: to be competitive. Right, There's been a couple of generations 205 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: at this point. Right, this is not a new invention. 206 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 3: I remember in the mid nineties that that all right, 207 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: soccer's on the comp Right, I'm finishing high school, I'm 208 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: into college. And I got a lot of friends that 209 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: started playing in high school and went on and played 210 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: some college soccer, and like, no, no, no, it's starting to build. 211 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: And you saw it in the city of Chicago where 212 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: I grew up, and nationwide leagues popping up, and certainly 213 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: my daughter being involved, your daughter being involved. You watch 214 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 3: the proliferation of all these club sports and the build nationwide. 215 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: It's not translated into anything for the national team to 216 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 3: this point. 217 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: No, Andre's and here's the thing, here's the bet. Like 218 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: we talked about this, they're an absolute dumpster fire right now. 219 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: They hire Pochatino to come in, and the biggest hallmarks 220 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: for him are his culture, physical play. Hey, you're going 221 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: to get the best effort out and the United States 222 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: team has always been a team that. Boy, at times, 223 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: they look like they're going to run people off the 224 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: pitch and then after fifteen minutes of that, they kind 225 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: of sit back and just meander through the course of 226 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: the game. Right, they get a goal early and they 227 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: try to just play on the war. There's no killer instinct. 228 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: They do it very for very brief periods of time. 229 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: But this is where, okay, this is where I get 230 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: that kind of effort because you see that, you know 231 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: the talent potentially is there. But I go back to 232 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: this and I'll give you a hot take on the 233 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: US men's I oh, you a great hot take. Right 234 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: before they got ready for the Gold Cup. For this 235 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: prep for the Gold Cup, poach Tino said, what did 236 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: he say, Hey, if you're coming to play, leave your 237 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: golf clubs at home, right, this is not going to 238 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: be something where we go out like everybody's gonna come 239 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: and work hard. And what happened. Three of the best players, 240 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: including your captain, said yeah, no, I'm not there. So 241 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: if you know how important it is to get ready 242 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: and get on the same page with everybody else for 243 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the World Cup, you know how important these games are 244 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: because you're not playing together. The fact that they still 245 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: stayed home and things are going this bad, Honestly, I 246 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: wonder if he even makes it to the World Cup. 247 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: If Bochattino still is a guy that makes it to 248 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: the World Cup makes But if they if they have 249 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: an awful flame out here, if they keep playing poor, 250 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: can you really stick with them or is it? 251 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 4: Hey? 252 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: You know what, Yeah, we're gonna give them time because 253 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: clearly maybe maybe nobody wants to play for me. 254 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: How about that? 255 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: I take Tom Timbada's got time on his hand. Oh, 256 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: Tim would show up and he would just standing. 257 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: With his arms. 258 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: He'd get him to work hard. Well, well, he would come. 259 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: He would grind him too much. 260 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Some like more guys know there, there would be no substitution, 261 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: so his starting eleven would be his starting but everybody 262 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: would leave. 263 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're the start. You're working me too hard. No, 264 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: it's it's a very good point, very good question going 265 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: forward because look after each loss, it's the cell of 266 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 3: what's going well. You can't you can't try to sell 267 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: this effort today. 268 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: No, you can't. And and it's all about culture and 269 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: going forward and how we're going to play and how 270 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: they're going to win. I really, I I can't. I 271 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: can't even say that. I really I can't even say 272 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: that what we're going to what he's trying to build. 273 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Right if this Gold Cup goes badly, I I really 274 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: wonder if he makes to the World Corps, it's gonna 275 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: be we maybe to bring burr Halter back, but maybe 276 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: it's it's somebody else that comes in, because I don't 277 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: know how much the team wants to play for any 278 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: of the coaches they had, from Kleinsman to you know, 279 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: to burr Halter. Here's it's the same kind of lack 280 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: of effort, lack of cohesion, lack of desire. There's nothing 281 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: that could I don't know what fixes it, but but 282 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: I know this right now. If it continues like this, 283 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: I really wonder if he makes to the World Cup 284 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: next year, bring back Cleansman. That would be something. Laala's 285 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: out of the booth, Ted Laso, well, I would go 286 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: if Ted well, listen, If Ted Lasso, Oh boy, let 287 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: me see if we had if you had everybody, if 288 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: you had Ted and Beard and Roy Kent and Nate 289 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: the Great, then I'd be Okay, we got I have 290 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: all of them, though, gotta have all listen to me.

All right, You're okay, that whole thing 295 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: never really happened. I really if it continues like this, 296 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: I really want if they're gonna have a new head 297 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: coach for the World Cup. Yeah, they cleaned that up 298 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: a lot easier than they will for the men's national team. 299 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: That's for damn sure exit.

He's always been very loose with 522 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: the team. Now he's a good leader. Teammates like him, 523 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, for all this all Rogers is not this. 524 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: No teammates like him, you see, even even former members 525 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: of the Jets. He's not going to say anything about 526 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: the Jets ever. Like the story today, he and Jermaine 527 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: Johnson were texting with each other. Jermain Johnson, one of 528 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: the best young pass rushers in the NFL, got hurt 529 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: early last year. He said, Aaron Rodgers let him work 530 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: out with this guy in California, you know, gave him 531 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: some big props and said listen, you have a ten 532 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: plus year career. Don't worry, it's a speed bump, like 533 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: you know, for all this Oh Rogers teammates likes him, 534 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: they like him, But this whole overall, his overall attitude 535 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: towards the NFL is like I don't get the sense 536 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: that the guy is still as all in as he was, 537 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: and I get the sense that now he's using football 538 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: to further Aaron Rodgers and the optics. Right like he 539 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: he comes across as like a Hollywood celebrity that wants 540 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: to give you that little bit of mystery, that's always 541 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: worried about their image and their optics, and everything they 542 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: do is something to make sure that people are talking 543 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: about them or they're asking questions, right like why wouldn't 544 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: You's not I've been married for a couple of months. No, 545 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: but I'm not going to say who I'm married to, 546 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: Like just say it's private, right if you don't want to, 547 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: if you don't want to talk, like I get it right, 548 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: Like when Otani got married, No, no picture me and 549 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: my wife until we're ready, because there's you know what 550 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: people wanted to pay for back in Japan for picture 551 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: of the two of them, Like who is she who 552 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: is she? Right? 553 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: So running parallel in terms of the uh, you know, secrecy, privacy, 554 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: What the hell is going on? 555 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: Let go tonn. 556 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 3: He's got a bunch of those, right, But it's not 557 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 3: here's the dog, here's the wife. 558 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: Now we're having a baby. I mean who I mean, 559 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: who doesn't love decoy? 560 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, but I mean, like all of 561 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 3: those the game thing that was there and then but 562 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: he disappeared. 563 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: But as far as like for the marriage, it's not 564 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: like Otani came out and said anything. People found out 565 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: he was married, keeping a try. Aaron Rodgers clearly wants 566 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: to flaunt and have people talk about him. So he 567 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: wore the ring very prominently in that picture that they 568 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: took for him when he's signing his contract. Right, you're 569 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: signing a contract with your right hand. Why is your 570 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: left hand right in front of the picture unless you 571 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: want people to know? Right, this is what I was 572 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: trying to get. He's not a copy off your painte. 573 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: He's almost like this, don't look at my ring. Don't 574 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: look at the terms of this contract. How much you 575 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: want to bet the ring is made of hemp? But 576 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: I think it's a hemp ring. Well, Is it one 577 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: of those rubber ones? Those have gone in very popular 578 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: with athletes? Oh okay, are they okay? Instead of your 579 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: your traditional metal rings because those tear up your fingers. Yeah, 580 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 1: like the rings you buy, like I said last night, 581 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: rings you buy an anthropology. Oh that's a great ring 582 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: for eleven dollars, I'm gonna get you brought it back. 583 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: So if it's if it's private and the wedding is 584 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: private to you then and say, yeah, you know, I 585 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: really don't want to talk about it. Thank you for asking, 586 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: but it's a ring. Whatever you want to say. But 587 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: clearly he wants people to know that he's married. But 588 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: it's too much to give away I'm married and who 589 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: I'm married to, because if it really was private, he 590 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't say but oh you haven't married. Oh yeah, married 591 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: a couple of months.

If Aaron Rodgers didn't want 597 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: to know people wanted he would have just said, you know, 598 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: it's sorry. You guys got to do your own stuff. 599 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna help you out with anything.

So 622 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: he's had four years of the fast lane of being 623 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: the guy that's moved the needle in the NFL. Now 624 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: he sees his coming to an end. And now I'm 625 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: using this to foster along me continuing to own the 626 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: headlines and be famous.

But first, 756 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 1: a guy I need more from in the NBA Finals. 757 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: And it's crazy we're saying this considering the playoff that 758 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: he's had, the clutch playoff, that he's had what he 759 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: had in Game one, But honestly, I need more from 760 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburton. Okay, he still has these moments, these wide 761 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: swaths enduring series where he looks like the best player 762 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: on the court and it's not even close. And the 763 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: next game it looks like, dude, are you even trying? 764 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: Like he's got a little too much and Edwards in him, 765 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: where Edwards was someone who you see, hey in a 766 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: six game series two out of every six games, it's like, 767 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: what's the guy doing. He's not taking shots, he's not 768 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: involved in the game. What is he really doing? Does 769 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: he know how to break down the defense? Is he not? 770 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: And it's a different situation for Halliburton than Edwards because 771 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: Haliburton's a guy. Look, he has the ball in his 772 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: hands a little bit more, but like that was a 773 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: big thing. This is why the tea Wolves went home 774 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: because SGA is a superstar that gives you everything you 775 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: need every game. And if he's not impacting a game, 776 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: if he's having a tough time lighting it up, he's 777 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: getting into the free throw line, He's getting his teammates involved. 778 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: This is why the guy's the MVP, right. But Halliburton, 779 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm done because I need more from him, and I'm 780 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 1: done with the Halliburton story of being Oh what else 781 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: do you want from because he seems like he's only 782 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: really motivated when people doubt him or when something happens 783 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: to spur him on. Like, if you're a true superstar 784 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: in the NBA, if you're this good, right, and Halliburton 785 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: clearly is shown he's got the skills to be this good, right, 786 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards has the skills to be this good. Halliburton 787 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: has the skills to be an all NBA player. Why 788 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: is it two times in every series you go, wow, 789 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: they got boat race in that game? 790 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 4: Why? 791 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: Well, look, Halliburton was eleven points, you know, three out 792 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: of eight from the field, and he had you know, 793 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: seven assists and five rebounds. Why if Halliburton had the game, 794 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: he has two of those games a series. And if 795 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: you're that good, you have to be able to play 796 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more consistent than that. And I'm not 797 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: saying every game needs to be where you're thirty and 798 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: ten and ten, but there's got to be times where 799 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm controlling the team and I'm out here leading and 800 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing my damnedest, and if I'm not hitting shots, 801 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: and it's me setting things up because I could clearly 802 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: I can get my own shots, I can get into 803 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: the paint, I can get the ball to the right 804 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,959 Speaker 1: guys because everybody on the PACER's cannet threes. So there's 805 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: games where he can do he just doesn't. And you 806 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 1: need to be more motivated than just Hey, when people 807 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: say I'm overrated, or look at look at the Pacers 808 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 1: series against the Knicks. There's no bigger example. I could 809 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: tell you that after Game three where Halliburton was bad 810 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: and the Knicks cut that series to two to one, 811 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: what did the Pacers do, Hey, your dad's coming back 812 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: to the game, we're having your dad come back for 813 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: game four. Could have had him come back for Game three, 814 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: but it's like the Pacers were saving it knowing that 815 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: we may need to motivate Halliburton during the series, which 816 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: would be a big red flag. Shouldn't have to motivate 817 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: a guy. You could have him come back for game three, 818 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: but no, no, no, he had a really bad Game three. 819 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: We're down to one. We got to motivate, and what happens. 820 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: Haliburton comes back in Game four and he has one 821 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: of the best games of his NBA career. Like that 822 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: should be. All that tells you about Halliburton is that, dude, 823 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: you have to find some way to be this motivat, 824 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: be this version of yourself every time you step on 825 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: the floor, especially when you get to the NBA Finals 826 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: and the conference finals. It can't just be hey, couple 827 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: of times, Yeah, don't know what happened in that game. 828 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: It's why guys like an it's a home well. 829 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 3: But on the plus side for him, up until about 830 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 3: two weeks ago, nobody expected any of this. Right with 831 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 3: Ann Edwards, it was he was coronated, right. You might 832 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 3: as well have had the SI cover like they had 833 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 3: for Lebron all those years ago where he then decided 834 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 3: to start calling himself the King and adopted it and whatever. 835 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 3: But for Anthony Edwards, like I played good enough defense, 836 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 3: I did this, I did that right, those were his 837 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 3: comebacks in media sessions. But expectations heavy is the head 838 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 3: who wears the crown or that people are trying to 839 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 3: shove it on his head With Terry's Aliburton, he was 840 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 3: just a guy on a pretty good team, flashed every 841 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 3: once in a while, but clearly has a pension for 842 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 3: last minute shots right now, thirteen of sixteen because that 843 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 3: last one didn't count, but it's but it's the kind 844 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 3: of thing that. 845 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: We want to look at his numbers. 846 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 3: He's not a volume guy, right he shot thirteen point 847 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 3: eight shots per game this year. You're been talking about 848 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 3: the depth of what Indiana is where he can take 849 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 3: over at times. Even from an assist perspective, You're looking 850 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 3: at a guy nine point two ten point nine a 851 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 3: year ago. That's the career high, ten point four distributing well, 852 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 3: he was fourteen ten and six in the first game. 853 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 3: Makes the big shot, but we don't talk about the 854 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 3: rest of that game because he makes the big shot, 855 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 3: right fourteen, ten and six is a pretty damn good 856 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 3: stat line. Yeah right, Jason Kidd, your next head coach 857 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 3: is the guy that went that was not scoring fourteen. 858 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,240 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd was ten and ten and you know ten. 859 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 3: Well, But that I'm looking for balance because I'll take 860 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 3: those four off there, I'll put it over the assists 861 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 3: column and now I got ten, ten, ten, Okay. But 862 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 3: it's it's just the idea that he's not been the 863 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 3: guy that we've been trying to crown, and now all 864 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 3: of a sudden we are. It's like we're chasing him 865 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 3: down because we can't give it to Anthony Edwards. 866 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: Just let it be. 867 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: Let it be. He doesn't have to be that guy. 868 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to find a way to bring more to 869 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: the party, and it's got to be if you're that great, 870 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: Toby Topic got to be that good.

Wow, he's with us now. He's on Twitter 890 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: at John Morosi. He is MLB Network insider extraordinaire and 891 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: co host of Stearnsy and the Pope Morning Show with 892 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: his former college roommate, Met's President of Baseball Operations, David Stearns. 893 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: It is John Paul Morosi. What's happening, Bud? How are you? 894 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 4: I am outstanding? I can exclusively report to you that 895 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 4: here at my home in Michigan, the home run that 896 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 4: Aaron Judge hit just landed beside me. Oh got a 897 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 4: second ago, Because here's the thing. 898 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 5: Major League players. 899 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 4: Are used to seeing extraordinary things. They do it every day, 900 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 4: and then many of them author extraordinary things every day. 901 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 4: The Aaron Judge home run that was hit tonight in 902 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 4: Kansas City, if you look at the reaction in the 903 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 4: Yankee dugout, it was even by judge and standards, something 904 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 4: truly out of this world, out of the ballpark, out 905 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 4: of the state, as far as I'm concerned, land on 906 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 4: my front lawn. It was that kind of a home run. 907 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 4: To be honest, it felt like four sixty nine was 908 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 4: an underestimate of exactly how far that ball went. And 909 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 4: again it seemed like the momentum. Hopefully the Royals don't 910 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 4: have to do repairs on the Hall of Fame there 911 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 4: so they've gotten left field because they seemed to crash 912 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 4: right into the windows of that It is just an 913 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 4: absolutely titanic shot. And listen, the Yankees and Aaron Judge, 914 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 4: I mean, it's gonna be a fun storyline. We've got 915 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 4: that game on Thursday. An MLB Network you've got Judge, 916 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 4: You've got with It's gonna be a lot of fun 917 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 4: to watch them both play. But what Aaron Judge is 918 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 4: doing right now, guys, it's just difficult to describe in 919 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 4: any sort of normal terminology. 920 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: Now, so we're here and getting into the middle of June, 921 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: and here's Judge today, two for five, he's hitting three 922 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: ninety six. Give me the percentage chance you think that 923 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: he can make a run at hitting four hundred this year, 924 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: I'll make it one. We're talking about it throughout the 925 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,399 Speaker 1: summer into September, like, hey's a percentage he can make 926 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: a run at four hundred. 927 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 4: I think he can. It's it's right there. I'm going 928 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 4: to say better than fifty percent. I'm going to say 929 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 4: fifty five forty five. I'm not going to say that 930 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 4: he's going to finish it at four hundred and predict that, 931 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 4: because that is really hard to do. But what he's 932 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 4: able to do even without necessarily getting a ton of 933 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 4: infield singles, let's say it's just the damage is so great. 934 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 4: And listen, the game has changed a bit with the 935 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 4: shift not being in play, and not that the shift 936 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 4: really matters that much for him, because he usually hits 937 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 4: the ball over the infielders. That tends to be what 938 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 4: he's doing, and off and over the outfielders too. But 939 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 4: he is in a spot where I just have never 940 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 4: seen a player from a power hitting perspective. This locked 941 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 4: in in the last probably twenty five years, and it 942 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 4: is remarkable to watch it on a consistent basis. And 943 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 4: if there was going to be a sort of diminishment 944 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 4: of his of his numbers, and if there was a 945 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 4: regression to the mean, if you will, I think it 946 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 4: would have happened by now. He his performance is the mean. 947 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 4: This is his mean right right now? This is it. 948 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 4: Uh And and again he's upper in the three nineties, 949 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 4: he's taken his walks and I think probably the most 950 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 4: impressive thing too is that. And again we could talk 951 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 4: about which which order they're hitting in Soto Judge, but 952 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,880 Speaker 4: Soto's absence has not impacted him at all. And I 953 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 4: think that is that is a really really impressive statement 954 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 4: to make that when you have a player of Sodo's 955 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 4: caliber no longer in your lineup, it does change how 956 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 4: people get pitched to. And with Judge, there's just there's 957 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 4: no impact on his numbers, which says a lot about 958 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 4: him as a person and a professional. 959 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 3: All Right, So let's grab and a guy who's been 960 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,760 Speaker 3: photoshopped in the Yankee uniforms since his debut a year ago, 961 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 3: and that's Paul Skeins. Last year eleven and three. This 962 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 3: year he's four and six. But every other metric is 963 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 3: the same. What's more likely, Judge, it's four hundred or 964 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,320 Speaker 3: he creates a new win regular season record for himself 965 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 3: by winning twelve games. 966 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 4: That's a great question, fall Skins, as you're pointing out 967 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 4: it's not easy to win games you're starting at Pittsburgh Park. 968 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: No, it's just not. 969 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 4: It's just not. I think there's actually a better chance 970 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 4: of Judge hitting four hundred. I really do. I love 971 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 4: fall team, but this is there, you go, this is 972 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 4: not his this Let's put it this way. As long 973 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,800 Speaker 4: as the Skeins is wearing the black and gold of 974 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,760 Speaker 4: the Bucos, and as long as they're in their current 975 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 4: lack of competitiveness, wins will not be the stat in 976 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 4: which Schemes is a dominant pitcher in He's going to 977 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 4: be really good in that, in that by those standards, 978 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 4: in that, in that category, but just not not the 979 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 4: league wide he's just I think double digit win seasons. 980 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 4: It's just crazy to say it, but that's just where 981 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 4: the pirates are right now. He's still great, he still 982 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 4: is going to be an All Star, He's still going 983 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 4: to be a perpetual die on candidate, and there'll be 984 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 4: the eight for Team USA at the WBC. All those 985 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,720 Speaker 4: things are true. But he might have a losing record 986 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 4: when the season is done, and that is a that 987 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 4: is an indictment of where the pirates are right now. 988 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm just in now. John paulond Is picturing you on 989 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 1: MLB Network tomorrow with Lauren Shahati in the big box 990 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,359 Speaker 1: with your head is really huge saying and her saying 991 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: to you, did you really say, Aaron Judge get it 992 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,319 Speaker 1: four hundred more than Paul Paul Skeins can win twelve games. 993 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna say, yes, Yes, I did, Yes, I did. 994 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: I can see that happening tomorrow. 995 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 4: I guys, I mean that's the numbers say right now. Yeah, 996 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,960 Speaker 4: the look at get where again schemes were about halfway 997 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 4: through the year. It's just my goodness, we have to 998 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 4: go go through and actually look at the statistical likelihood 999 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 4: that a pitcher would have an ERA under two with 1000 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 4: by the end, you'll probably pitch one hundred and seventy innings. 1001 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 4: So a sub to e R one hundred and seventy innings, 1002 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 4: what's the lowest number of wins? And I'm gonna probably 1003 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 4: I'm not going to look this up necessarily, right, I mean, 1004 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 4: maybe I will while you're asking the next question, I'll 1005 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:38,439 Speaker 4: look this up. I cannot, I cannot imagine that it's 1006 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 4: that this number is. I mean, how many guys could 1007 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 4: have possibly had an ERA under two with one hundred 1008 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 4: and seventy innings and one fewer than ten games. We're 1009 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 4: about to find out literally as you ask me this question. 1010 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 4: I'm going to work on this as as we're talking 1011 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 4: right now. It is a that's that is where that 1012 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 4: that is where the pirates and schemes are right now, 1013 00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 4: all right now. 1014 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: So speaking of pictures, you'll look. We watched sho Heyotani 1015 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,040 Speaker 1: warm up during the playoffs last year, thinking, Okay, he's 1016 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: throwing because he's going to pitch in the playoffs. No, no, 1017 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: we still haven't seen him. But Dave Roberts said there 1018 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: is a north of zero chance that he pitches before 1019 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: the All Star break, meaning it's not zero north of 1020 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: zero could be ninety percent, it could be fifty percent, 1021 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 1: it could be ten percent, it could be five percent, 1022 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 1: but north of zero, which tells me that Otani potentially 1023 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: is on the way back. Like, what are you hearing? 1024 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 1: Is this feasible? Could we see Otani pitch before the 1025 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: All Star break? 1026 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 4: It's feasible. And I think that why it's feasible is 1027 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 4: that the Dodgers have certainly let him They I'm not 1028 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 4: saying that they've had him take too much time, but 1029 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 4: they've been very deliberate about the pace of all this, 1030 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 4: and I think part of it is that just that 1031 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 4: they didn't want to have him dedicated completely to the 1032 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 4: pitching side of things, because obviously he's their DH So 1033 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 4: I think that they have been monitoring this very very carefully. 1034 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,800 Speaker 4: They have been, They have been overly careful to this point. 1035 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 4: The reason why I think that the that this has 1036 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 4: come up, and I think it's entirely appropriate by the 1037 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 4: way that it has, is that the Dodgers need him 1038 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 4: right now. Show is probably on a faster track to 1039 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 4: coming back than Glass now is, and then Snell is 1040 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 4: so as long as that's the case, as long as 1041 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 4: Show is ahead of them, then then basically it's kind 1042 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 4: of his turn. The Dodgers have had so many issues 1043 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 4: with pitchers who have been hurt. They've come back, they've 1044 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 4: gone back on the ielt. The need, the acute need 1045 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 4: for the Dodgers is today, is this week, is next 1046 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 4: week is certainly early July, let's say, And tonight Tonight's 1047 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 4: game is a perfect example. The Dodgers do not currently 1048 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,760 Speaker 4: have the pitching depth to be able to chase wins 1049 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 4: on on consecutive days every time. Because of where of 1050 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,760 Speaker 4: where their depth is, they just don't have the innings 1051 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 4: to be covered. They cannot bring in their a bullpen 1052 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 4: all the time. Guys like Dryer and Casperri's are too 1053 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 4: valuable for them in the bullpen to put in starting roles. 1054 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 4: It seems on a consistent basis they're stuck. And the 1055 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 4: reality is one of the best and I mean and 1056 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 4: not as we can't expect him, by the way to 1057 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 4: come back and pitch like Paul scheme, but he's going 1058 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 4: to be a well above average starting pitcher because that's 1059 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,880 Speaker 4: what he's been throughout his career and the need for 1060 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 4: him is now. He seems to be by all accounts, 1061 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 4: a very healthy player. We see him swinging it all 1062 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 4: the time. I think that he's I'm with Dave Roberts there, 1063 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 4: and I think that that's maybe Dave Roberts's way of 1064 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 4: sort of communicating to the organization this is the time 1065 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 4: that we need showing, and I think that it's the 1066 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 4: right thing for the manager to say, and it may 1067 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,280 Speaker 4: just happen right around the All Star Game that Oltani 1068 00:50:58,360 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 4: is back on the Mount. 1069 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: Jason Show with me. 1070 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 3: Mike Carmon here from the Fox Sports Radio Studios on 1071 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 3: the hotline with us MLB Network, our Superstars, our guy 1072 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 3: John Paul Morosi at John Morosi, leave out the h because, 1073 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 3: as he said a couple of weeks ago, literally Mom said, 1074 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 3: so j O N mr Osi, did you get the answer? 1075 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 1: Because I think I had the answer. I had a guess, 1076 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's been confirmed. 1077 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 2: Oh on on the the Subimber two. 1078 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: Eer with at least one hundred and seventy innings. 1079 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 3: Pitch Jacobe, is it Jacob? Well, there's another guy that 1080 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 3: from nineteen oh two. O. 1081 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 4: Yes, I actually the year that I found was nineteen 1082 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 4: oh four. Okay, the great ned Garvin, oh even better 1083 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 4: ned Garviage, but the lowest in. 1084 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 5: The let's see yes, in the divisional. 1085 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 4: Era, the lowest win total of any pitcher with one 1086 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,320 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy plus innings and a sub two is 1087 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 4: It's a tie for Bobby Bolin of the nineteen sixty 1088 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 4: eight Giants Indivisional era, Tommy John Okay the eight White Sox, 1089 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,320 Speaker 4: and Jacob Degram twenty eighteen Mets, all with ten with 1090 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 4: men win. 1091 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 3: It fed me a guy named Ed Seaver with the 1092 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 3: Tigers in nineteen oh two. No, wow, head, go all 1093 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 3: the way down. Yes, Tom Seavers, great great grandfather. 1094 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: All right, so ja b Let me ask you. 1095 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 3: Roman Anthony the latest guy to get called up and 1096 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 3: Boston the White Sox had their starter tonight. 1097 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: He's the eighth guy to make his major league debut. 1098 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 8: Is it just me? 1099 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,880 Speaker 1: Or does it seem like we're just seeing this conga 1100 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 1: line of young call ups a lot earlier than we 1101 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: used to. 1102 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 4: We are, and I think that it's for a couple 1103 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 4: of reasons. I'll mention a few number one hitters now 1104 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 4: have seen through their showcase career there's more pitches, more 1105 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,240 Speaker 4: at bats than basically any other previous generation of hitters. 1106 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,720 Speaker 4: They play that now they may not be organized games 1107 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 4: all the time, but they see a lot of pitching, 1108 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 4: a lot a ton of pitching, so the hitters are 1109 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,240 Speaker 4: in many ways better prepared. Similarly, on the pitching side, 1110 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 4: you don't know when they're going to break down, so 1111 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 4: you better. Their innings are more valuable to you in 1112 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 4: the major leagues than they are in double as. So 1113 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,880 Speaker 4: I think that there's an incentive, based on the reality 1114 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 4: of the game to promote the players. We also see 1115 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:39,759 Speaker 4: this that because of the trade market, teams are very 1116 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 4: reluctant to give up their best prospects in trades. So 1117 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 4: if you're not going to trade them, you might as 1118 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 4: well play them. You might as well promote them and 1119 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 4: having part of your major league team. And I think 1120 00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 4: also you've got a lot of teams that are trying 1121 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 4: to be mindful of their budget, and often the least 1122 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 4: expensive big change you can make to your to your 1123 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 4: club is to promote from within. They're going to make 1124 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 4: the major league minimum. So I think that for a 1125 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,160 Speaker 4: lot of reasons financial and competitive, that's what we're seeing 1126 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 4: seeing teams do, and I expect it's going to continue. 1127 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 4: It's just this is the way of the modern game, 1128 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 4: and you may even start seeing some guys that started 1129 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 4: the season at Double A that are that are coming 1130 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 4: up quickly, and Anthony Long deserved its call up. 1131 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 5: I'm glad he got it. 1132 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 4: It's kind of a youth movement in Boston. But the 1133 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 4: point I'll make on the American League right now, in general, 1134 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 4: there's a lot of teams that are flawed. There's a 1135 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 4: lot of teams that are that have good enough team, 1136 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,759 Speaker 4: good enough rosters to make a playoff run to where 1137 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 4: the American League is anybody's league. I think in the 1138 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 4: n L, I said it tel last week. I think 1139 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 4: Jason the Mets of the best team I've seen, they 1140 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 4: really are. Yeah, and and so I think that the 1141 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 4: NL is a little more top heavy. The American League 1142 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 4: is anybody's guests. And uh, you might see a central 1143 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,840 Speaker 4: team in a America League central team in the World 1144 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,320 Speaker 4: Series for what would be the first time since twenty 1145 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 4: sixteen with Cleveland.
