Speaker 1: about this last night nineteen seventy eight. It took them

00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: eighteen days to play seven games in the NBC.

00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,400

Speaker 1: Yeah, they would play on Sunday, then they would play Tuesday,

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't know the result until Thursday because that's

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: they would air the game, because Tuesday night was still

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,240

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 5: the seid of McLoud.

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: Wow, you disrespected Dennis Weaver.

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 5: You can don't drive by on any seventies leading man

43
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: of a television show.

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: You want a great story. I used to love McLeod.

45
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: I used to watch. My favorite part was the beginning

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: because the beginning of the show was just him walking

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: towards the camera with a flashlight and it was so

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: scary when.

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: I was when I was a kid, I was like, oh,

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: I was so scared.

51
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: My dad said, no, he's a good guy. He's a

52
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: good guy. He's a good guy. So I was like, oh,

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: then he would come and you see him at the

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: very end. He's got he's got the flashlight.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 4: But I was so scared because here's a dark screen.

56
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: The flashlight is coming at me. And then my dad

57
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: turned it around and saying like, oh, hey, your friend

58
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: is on. Come watch your friend. And I would see

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: the beginning. Oh, here comes my friend. He comes McLeod

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: walking to the screen with a flashlight. It's my friend,

61
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: it's my friend. So McLeod went. I was scared, and

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: then I became his friend.

63
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: Did you ever write him a letter and say no?

64
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like that's my own Curious George

65
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: and the Scary Noise story.

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 5: That's a classic anybody with kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces, you

67
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 5: know that episode.

68
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: My dad flips be Curious George and the Scary Noise.

69
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Padres lead the Dodgers right now for zip. As the

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: Dodgers bat in the top of the fifth inning, one

71
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: out Shootani is just singled to write. So the Padre's

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: looking to get a little bit of measure revenge l

73
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Last night we got John Paul Morosi coming up in

74
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes for all the lands of Ange League Baseball.

75
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: One of those pesky bullpen games for the Dodge. Yeah, yeah,

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: you know, bullpen game.

77
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: Nothing takes the juice out of a game and going

78
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: and it's a bullpen game.

79
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 5: But like for this series in particular, it's like it's

80
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: one thing. It's like a fine it's against the Rockies.

81
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 5: Throw a full series of bullpen games and the thinks, look,

82
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: not that it.

83
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: Can't be excited, but when you hear bullpen game, you go,

84
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: why should I care? If that team doesn't care, clearly

85
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: because they're going a bullpen game, What the hell should

86
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: I watch?

87
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: If they don't care about the game. Why should I

88
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: care about it?

89
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: Because you bet the over the run total or show

90
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: Aotani to Homer.

91
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: The bullpen Not my fault. You'd sign eleven thousand starting

92
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: pitchers and they're all hurt. Not my fault anyway.

93
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: By the way, even with the bullpen game, they're really

94
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: waiting for Dylan Cease to turn it around and right

95
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 5: now shut out ball into the fifth. But it has

96
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 5: not been good this season in a bullpen game. It

97
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: was the same as last night eight and a half fronts.

98
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how it goes.

99
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Now, two big things going into Game three of the

100
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. After the first two games, I can tell

101
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: you the biggest question, the biggest.

102
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: Thing that's going to decide this series. Right.

103
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: You can go back and forth with a lot of

104
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: things about SGA and we talked about needing more from

105
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: Tyres Haliburton, But for me, the biggest question and the

106
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: series is this. Can the Pacers hit enough threes to

107
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: win three more times? Can they shoot forty five fifty

108
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: from three point range to win three more times? That's

109
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: the series. That's how the Pacers beat the Knicks, It's

110
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: how they won against the Cavaliers. It's how they come

111
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: back at the end of games because all five guys

112
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: on the floor, no matter who's out there, all five

113
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: of them can hit threes. And you saw in Game

114
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: one they hit their threes. In Game two they did not.

115
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Can they hit their threes three more times to win?

116
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: That's the game. Not Oklahoma City's bench, which was great

117
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: in the last game. And Alex Caruso every time he

118
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: plays well, Twitter is all rife with Remember when the

119
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Lakers at alex Caruso and they let go him because

120
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure Taylor Horton Tucker was signed

121
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: to a contract.

122
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: Those are the days, right.

123
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: It's not limiting SGA and getting Gildess Alexander to be

124
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: able to be a facilitator and not score thirty eight points.

125
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: It's not Halliburton being uneven because clearly the Pacers have

126
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: shown you that, hey, even in some uneven games they

127
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: can win with halliburtn all that stuff is gonna suss

128
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: itself out here and there. But it's but if Indiana

129
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: it's fifty percent from three point, If they can hit

130
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: threes like they did against the Knicks, like they did

131
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: in Game one, they'll win the series. If they can't

132
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: do that three more times, they'll lose.

133
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: It's real.

134
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: No matter how you each team can overcome the other

135
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: teams shutting down their best players or a little bit

136
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: of strategy here and there. Right, But that's the game

137
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: for me. If the Pacers can hit those threes, they'll win.

138
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: If they can't, the thunder gonna win. Can the Pacers

139
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: do it? And if you can answer that, whatever your

140
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: answer is to that question, that tells you who's gonna

141
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: win the series?

142
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 4: Yahay?

143
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 5: We go back to Game one and the number of

144
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 5: turnovers in the first half. Great transition defense by the

145
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: Pacers neutralize their ineffectiveness and shoddy play for that first

146
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: half and kept them hanging around. And we know there's

147
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: always going to be a run the college basketball, professional basketball,

148
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: unless it's a full pack up the shop and let's

149
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: go home kind of game, that you're gonna get a

150
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 5: run in the third or early in the fourth to

151
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: put you back in striking distance. Particularly again, as you say,

152
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 5: you hit three point shots forty six percent in the

153
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 5: first game, thirty five percent in the second, fifteen turnovers

154
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: in the second game, where the Thunder actually took advantage

155
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: of them more frequently than they were able to in

156
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: Game one. Right, Remember all those was at eighteen, nineteen

157
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 5: or twenty, depending on which box score and source you

158
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: were looking at. But nine points off turnovers, all right,

159
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: that's a great transition defense.

160
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: Is that sustainable for a full series as well?

161
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: No, that's not so taking care of the basketball and

162
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 5: actually limiting those opportunities, because what did Sga do with

163
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: the ball in the second game? He went to the rack? Right,

164
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: Like we've talked about a lot. You know, when you

165
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 5: talk about Halibert, you talk about Anthony Edwards, you talk

166
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: about different players along the way of I know that

167
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: when the chips are down, this guy's going to go

168
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: try to make something happen. He's going to make a

169
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: circus shot or two as he takes some contact. Oh wait,

170
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: after he initiates contact but gets the file call.

171
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: Look, it works. I can't fault a good strategy.

172
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 5: Be mad if you want actually shooting fewer free throws

173
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: this year than he did the last two. But the

174
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 5: point just being that, you know they have their stopper

175
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 5: for the pacers, they need Obi Toppin to hit three

176
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: point shots. They need bank shot three pointers from Miles

177
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: Turner or for Pascal Siakam to get into a flow

178
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 5: of some bench scoring as well.

179
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: But overall, what do we We've.

180
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: Seen them lead for a total of two minutes, right,

181
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 5: and for all the runs, for all the excitement, and

182
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 5: obviously Game one they came and stole it, the big

183
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: Haliburton shot, which it had you in in post traumatic

184
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 5: stress disorder, and they.

185
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: Did it again.

186
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: That guy did it again, and then you you talked

187
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: about the Knicks, but it's the idea that I just

188
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: don't think they can compete.

189
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: It's yeah, But that's the thing is the threes will

190
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: make up for that, and they can wind up. They

191
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: can wind up. Hey you're down by seven, you're down

192
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: by ten, you're down by twelve. But you know what,

193
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: everybody can't guard everybody, and if you can hit your

194
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: three like that, that's the weapon.

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 4: That's why the Pacers are where they are.

196
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: How many time any other team gets down like that,

197
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: it's over because hey, when you're down that big one

198
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: or two guys that threes on your team to give

199
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: the ball. They're not gonna make all of them. You

200
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: can guard a couple of guys. But that's the Pacers.

201
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: That's what makes them so special is all five players

202
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: on the floor.

203
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: We talked about it with Rick Beeker.

204
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 5: Right where their floor in terms of three point percentage

205
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: make is the ceiling for what the thunder do. Right,

206
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 5: So now you get to operational efficiency and the defense,

207
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 5: and really it's the are you going to commit to

208
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: forty eight minutes of closing out guys and open shooters

209
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: because that's one thing that look, you have to continue

210
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: to lament what the Knicks were unable to do. Was Wow,

211
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: even just a little bit of a hand in the

212
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: face is going to make that much bigger difference. And

213
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 5: what the Thunder can do is make that happen so

214
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 5: consistency on that side, I'm curious going back to Indiana,

215
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: what we get in game three tomorrow.

216
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, look, and.

217
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: That's the thing, right, is that now after seeing the

218
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: first two games, it's going to be great for basketball

219
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: fans everywhere because now after seeing this, this series is

220
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: going to go seven, right because because look at you,

221
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: it feels like it's go sweels like what I well,

222
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: I still I said Oklahoma City in five before the series,

223
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: but seeing the first two games, one of the two games,

224
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: Indiana will hit their threes enough, one of the games,

225
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City's defense is gonna slow them down. Because Oklahoma

226
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: City is the best team in the NBA. Oklahoma City

227
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: is gonna get one of those great all around SJA

228
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: efforts to win a game. Then it looks like it's

229
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna be home, home and home, and I expect the

230
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: home team to win. You know, when you go, you

231
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: go five to six to seven. I don't know if

232
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: either team can impose their will on the other definitively

233
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: over the next three or four games. Right, Because I've

234
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: seen times where it looks like the thunder able to

235
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: impose their will. I've seen times where it looks like

236
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the Pacers, really you're controlling the play and Halliburton's controlling

237
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: things and the guys are open for threes. I have

238
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: seen that. I don't know that. Look, Indiana's bench is

239
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna play better at home, right, you had Oklahoma City's

240
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: bench played great in game two. But Indiana's bench is

241
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna play really well at home. Probably Matheren will score

242
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: like thirty five points in eight minutes. But Oklahoma City's

243
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna adjust, They're gonna defense, and it's gonna be a

244
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: game to game thing. It's not gonna be where Hey,

245
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Pacers won that first game. Oklahoma Cities figure

246
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: things out. Now they boat race them the next few nights. Right,

247
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Here's Pacers now have home court advantage. They're gonna get

248
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: the foul calls at home. It's gonna be an extend.

249
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an extending, extending the series. It'll be

250
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: a daily dance between these two teams. And if I,

251
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: if I thought and look, can the Pacers do enough

252
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: to slow down the thunder and take like three that. No,

253
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen either. But game to game you're

254
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna see things change. You're gonna see one game the

255
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Pacers did this, the next game, Oklahoma City is going

256
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: to adjust. The next game, Oklahoma City will do this,

257
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: the Pacers will adjust it. Just it just smells to

258
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: me that now after seeing the first two games, that

259
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: it's going to go seven. I get that, Oh, Indiana escape,

260
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: there should be two nothing Oklahoma City. But guess what

261
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: it's not. And the Pacers are going home and they're

262
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: jacked up, and their bench is gonna play great. So yeah,

263
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: this this series, I think is gonna be tied going

264
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: into Game five.

265
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: Other bench is what gave them the win in Game one,

266
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: for all the Halliburton shot, yeah, and topping with his

267
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 5: seventeen up, they scored thirty nine points off the bench.

268
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, in that Game one.

269
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: I wish I could say, Hey, I feel like it's

270
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: still gonna go the way I said, but it really

271
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: now each team it's gonna be gained a game punch

272
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: counter punch. We're gonna be able to neutralize what you

273
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: did the last game by doing our thing. Then the

274
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: one team will neutralize the other. This is gonna go seven.

275
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: And I'm seeing the split and I'm seeing home home

276
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: home in Oklahoma City. Is that from the home office

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,920

278
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:27,640

Speaker 1: Royals hosting the second best team in New York, the

Speaker 1: New York Yankees. Wow, he's with us now. He's on

347
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: David Stearns.

348
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 4: It is John Paul Morosi. What's happening, Bud? How are you?

349
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: I am outstanding? I can exclusively report to you that

350
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: here at my home in Michigan, the home run that

351
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge hit just landed beside me. Oh got a

352
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: second ago, Because here's the thing. Major League players are

353
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: used to seeing extraordinary things. They do it every day,

354
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: and the many of them author extraordinary things every day.

355
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: The errand Judge home run that was hit tonight in

356
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: Kansas City. If you look at the reaction in the

357
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: Yankee dugout, it was even by Judge and standards, something

358
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: cruely out of this world, out of the ballpark, out

359
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: of the state, as far as I'm concerned, landed.

360
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: On my front lawn.

361
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: It was that kind of a home run. To be honest,

362
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: it felt like four sixty nine was an underestimate of

363
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: exactly how far that ball went. And again it seemed

364
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: like the momentum. Hopefully the Royals don't have to do

365
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: repairs on the Hall of Fame that they've gotten left

366
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: field because they seemed to crash right into the windows

367
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: of that. It was just an absolutely titanic shot. And listen,

368
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 3: the Yankees and Aaron Judge. I mean, it's gonna be

369
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: a fun storyline. We've got that game on Thursday, and

370
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: MLB Network, You've got Judge, You've got with It's gonna

371
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun to watch them both play.

372
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: But what Aaron Judge is doing right now, guys, it's

373
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: just difficult to describe in any sort of normal terminology.

374
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: Now, so we're here and getting into the middle of June,

375
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: and here's Judge today, two for five, he's hitting three

376
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: ninety six. Give me the percentage chance you think that

377
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: he can make a run at hitting four hundred this.

378
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: Year, I'll make it one out.

379
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: We're talking about it throughout the summer into September, like, hey,

380
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: he's a percentage he can make a run at four hundred.

381
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: I think he can. It's it's right there. I'm gonna

382
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: say better than fifty percent. I'm gonna say fifty five,

383
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: forty five. I'm not gonna say that he's going to

384
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: finish it at four hundred and predict that, because that

385
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 3: is really hard to do. But what he's able to

386
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 3: do even without necessarily getting a ton of infield singles,

387
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: let's say it's just the damage is so great. And listen,

388
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: the game has changed a bit with the shift not

389
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: being in play, and not that the shift really matters

390
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: that much for him, because he usually hits the ball

391
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: over the infielders. That tends to be what he's doing,

392
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: and off and over the outfielders too. But he is

393
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: in a spot where I just have never seen a

394
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: player from a power hitting perspective. This locked in in

395
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: the last probably twenty five years, and it is remarkable

396
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 3: to watch it on a consistent basis. And if there

397
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: was going to be a sort of diminishment of his numbers,

398
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 3: and if there was a regression to the mean, if

399
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 3: you will, I think it would have happened by now.

400
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: His performance is the mean. This is his mean right

401
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: right now?

402
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: This is it.

403
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: And again he's upper in the three nineties, he's in

404
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: his walks, and I think probably the most impressive thing too,

405
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: is that. And again we could talk about which order

406
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: they are hitting in Soto, Judge, but Soto's absence has

407
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: not impacted him at all. And I think that is

408
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 3: that is a really really impressive statement to make. That

409
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: when you have a player of Sodo's caliber no longer

410
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: in your lineup, it does change how people get pitched to.

411
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: And with Judge, there's just there's no impact on his numbers,

412
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: which says a lot about him as a person and

413
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: a professional.

414
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 5: All Right, So let's grab him and a guy who's

415
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: been photoshopped in the Yankee uniforms since his debut a

416
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 5: year ago, and that's Paul Skeins. Last year eleven and three.

417
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: This year he's four and six. But every other metric

418
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 5: is the same. What's more likely, Judge, it's four hundred

419
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 5: or he creates a new win regular season record for

420
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 5: himself by winning twelve games.

421
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 3: That's a great question Fall Schemes. As you're pointing out,

422
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: it's not it's not easy to win games when you're

423
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: starting with Pittsburgh Parky. No, it's just not it's just

424
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: not uh. I think there's actually a better chance of

425
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: Judge hitting four hundred. I really do.

426
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: I love but this is this is.

427
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: Not his this Let's put it this way. As long

428
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 3: as Schemes is wearing the black and gold of the

429
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: Bucos and as long as they're in their current lack

430
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: of competitiveness, wins will not be the stat in which

431
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: Schemes is a dominant pitcher in. He's going to be

432
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: really good in that, in that by those standards, in that,

433
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: in that category, but just not not the league wide.

434
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: He's just I think double digit win seasons. It's just

435
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 3: crazy to say it, but that's just where the Pirates

436
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: are right now. He's still great, he still is going

437
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: to be an All Star, He's still going to be

438
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: a prepared, actual Die Young candidate, and there'll be the

439
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: eighth for Team USAT the WBC. All those things are true.

440
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: But he might have a losing record when the season

441
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: is done, and that is a that is an indictment

442
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: of where the Pirates are right now.

443
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: I'm just in now.

444
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: John Paul hond is picturing you on MLB Network tomorrow

445
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: with Lauren Shahati in the big box with your head

446
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: is really huge saying and her saying to you, did

447
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: you really say, Aaron Judge, cant it four hundred more

448
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: than Paul Paul Skeins can win twelve games? You're gonna say, yes, Yes,

449
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: I did, Yes, I did. I can see that happening tomorrow.

450
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: I guys, I mean that's the numbers. Say right now, yeah,

451
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 3: look at look at where again schemes were about halfway

452
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: through the year. It's just my goodness, we have to

453
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: go go through and actually look at the statistical likelihood

454
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: that a pitcher would have an ERA under two with

455
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: by the end, they'll probably pitch one hundred and seventy innings.

456
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: So a sub to eer one hundred and seventy innings,

457
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: what's the lowest number of wins? And I'm probably I'm

458
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: not going to look this up necessarily, right, I mean,

459
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 3: maybe I will while you're asking the next question. I'll

460
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: look this up. I cannot I cannot imagine that it's

461
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: that this number is. I mean, how many guys could

462
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: have possibly had an ERA under two with one hundred

463
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 3: and seventy innings and one fewer than ten games. We're

464
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: about to find out, literally, as you asked me, this question.

465
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to work on this as as we're talking

466
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: right now. It is a that's that is where that

467
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: is where the pirates and schemes are right now, all

468
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: right now.

469
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: So speaking of pitchers, you know, look, we watched sho

470
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: Heyotani warm up during the playoffs last year, thinking, Okay,

471
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: he's throwing because he's going to pitch in the playoffs.

472
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 4: No, no, we still haven't seen him.

473
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: But Dave Roberts said there is a north of zero

474
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: chance that he pitches before the All Star break, meaning

475
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: it's not zero. North of zero, could be ninety percent,

476
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: it could be fifty percent, it could be ten percent,

477
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: it could be five percent, but north of zero, which

478
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: tells me that Otani potentially is on the way back.

479
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: What are you hearing is it? Is this feasible? Could

480
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: we see Otani pitch before the All Star break?

481
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: It's feasible. And I think that why it's feasible is

482
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 3: that the Dodgers have certainly let him They I'm not

483
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: saying that they've had him take too much time, but

484
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: they've been very deliberate about the pace of all this,

485
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: and I think part of it is that just that

486
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: they didn't want to have him dedicated completely to the

487
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: pitching side of things, because obviously he's their DH So

488
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: I think that they have been monitoring this very very carefully.

489
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: They have been They have been overly careful to this point.

490
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: The reason why I think that the that this has

491
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: come up, and I think it's entirely appropriate by the

492
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: way that it has, is that the Dodgers need him

493
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: right now. Show is probably on a faster track to

494
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: coming back than Glass is and then Snell is. So

495
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: as long as that's the case, as long as Show

496
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: is ahead of them, then basically it's kind of his turn.

497
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: The Dodgers have had so many issues with pitchers who

498
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: have been hurt. They've come back, they've gone back on

499
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: the eye olt. The need, the acute need for the

500
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: Dodgers is today, is this week, is next week, is

501
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: certainly early July, let's say, and tonight's Tonight's game is

502
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 3: a perfect example. The Dodgers do not currently have the

503
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: pitching depth to be able to chase wins on consecutive

504
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 3: days every time. Because of where of where their depth is,

505
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 3: they just don't have the innings to be covered. They

506
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 3: cannot bring in their a bullpen all the time. Guys

507
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: like Dryer and Casparri's are too valuable for them in

508
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: the bullpen to put in starting roles. It seems on

509
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: a consistent basis they're stuck and the reality is one

510
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: of the best and not as we can't expect him,

511
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: by the way, to come back and pitch like Paul scheme.

512
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: But he's going to be a well above average starting

513
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 3: pitcher because that's what he's been throughout his career and

514
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: the need for him is now. He seems to be,

515
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 3: by all accounts, a very healthy player. We see him

516
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: swinging it all the time. I think that he's I'm

517
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: with Dave Roberts there, and I think that that's maybe

518
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts's way of sort of communicating to the organization

519
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: this is the time that we need show a and

520
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: I think that it's the right thing for the manager

521
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: to say, and it may just happen right around the

522
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: All Star Game that Oltani is back on the mouth.

523
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 5: Jason Smith Show with Me, Mike Carmon here from the

524
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio studios on the Hotline with us MLB Network,

525
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 5: Our Superstars, our guy, John Paul Morosi at John Morosi,

526
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 5: leave out the age because as he said a couple

527
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: of weeks ago. Literally, Mom said, so j O n

528
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 5: mr Osi, did you get the answer? Because I think

529
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 5: I had the answer. I had a guess, and I

530
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 5: think it's been confirmed.

531
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: Oh on the the sub umber.

532
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: Two e er with at least one hundred and seventy innings,

533
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: pitch Jacob, Is it Jacob?

534
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: No, Well there's another guy that from nineteen oh two.

535
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: Yes, I actually the year that I found was nineteen

536
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: oh four, the great ned Garvin. Oh even ned Garvine.

537
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: But but the lowest in the let's see, yes, in

538
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: the divisional era, the lowest win total of any pitcher

539
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: with one hundred and seventy plus innings and a sub

540
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: to e ra is it's a tie for Bobby Bolin

541
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: of the nineteen sixty eight Giants in Divisional era, Tommy

542
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 3: John Okay eight White Sox, and Jacob de gram twenty

543
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: eighteen Mets, all with ten with men win.

544
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 5: It fed be a guy named Ed Seaver with the

545
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 5: Tigers in nineteen oh two. Wow, head all the way down. Yes,

546
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: yea Tom Severs great great grandfather. All right, so, Jen,

547
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 5: b let me ask you Roman Anthony the latest guy

548
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 5: to get called up and Boston the White Sox had

549
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: their starter tonight. He's the eighth guy to make his

550
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 5: major league debut. Is it just me or does it

551
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: seem like we're just seeing this conga line of young

552
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 5: call ups a lot earlier than we used to.

553
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: We are, and I think that it's for a couple

554
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: of reasons. I'll mention a few number one hitters now

555
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: have seen through their showcase careers more pitches, more at

556
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: bats than basically any other previous generation of hitters they

557
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 3: play that now. They may not be organized games all

558
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: the time, but they see a lot of pitching, a

559
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: lot a ton of pitching, So the hitters are in

560
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 3: many ways better prepared. Similarly, on the pitching side, you

561
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: don't know what they're going to break down, so you better.

562
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: Their innings are more valuable to you in the Major

563
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: League they are in Double A. That's so I think

564
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: that there's an incentive, based on the reality of the

565
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: game to promote the players. We also see this that

566
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 3: because of the the trade market, teams are very reluctant

567
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 3: to give up their their best prospects in trades. So

568
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: if you're not going to trade them, you might as

569
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: well play them. You might as well promote them and

570
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: having part of your major league team. And I think

571
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: also you've got a lot of teams that are trying

572
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: to be mindful of their budget, and often the least

573
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: expensive big change you can make to your to your

574
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 3: club is to promote them within they're going to make

575
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: the major league minimum. So I think that for a

576
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: lot of reasons, financial and competitive, and that's what we're

577
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: seeing seeing teams do, and I expect it's going to continue.

578
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: It's just this is the way of the modern game.

579
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: And you may even start seeing some guys that started

580
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: the season at Double A that are that are coming

581
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: up quickly. And Anthony Long deserved its call up. I'm

582
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: glad he got it. It's kind of a youth movement

583
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: in Boston. But the point I'll make on the American

584
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: League right now, in general, there's a lot of teams

585
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: that are flawed. There's a lot of teams that are

586
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: that have good enough team, good enough rosters to make

587
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: a playoff run to where the American League is anybody's league.

588
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: I think in the NL, I said a pel last week,

589
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: I think Jason the Mets is the best team I've seen.

590
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: They really are. Yeah, And so I think that the

591
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: NL is a little more top heavy the American League

592
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: is anybody's guess, and you might see a central team,

593
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: an American League central team in the World Series for

594
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: what would be the first time since twenty sixteen with Cleveland.

595
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: So I think we could be headed for one of

596
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: those Midwest Baseball kind of a World Series.

597
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 5: JP, you might as well have just drop the bar

598
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: gold in front of this guy. His eyes glazed over

599
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: and it was the biggest smile I've ever seen.

600
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 4: Please tell me something I know. Yeah, I know we

601
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: the best team in the NATS. I know, I know

602
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: they are.

603
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: They are. That's my in my belief based on what

604
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: I have seen, they're the best teams.

605
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: Now, two things before we let you go.

606
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: Number One, I need you to reach out to David

607
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: Stearns like I did a month ago, and say, remind

608
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: every passing day that Alonzo contract gets more and more expensive.

609
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: Okay, just everydyn.

610
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 3: Pete, don Pete to get it done. Now, you got it.

611
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: Second thing is John Paul I forget with all these

612
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: guys coming up, what's the name of that rookie in

613
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City You're gonna get to see Thursday in the showcase.

614
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 4: How do you say his name? I have a tough

615
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: to how do you pronounce his name?

616
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: Gle glean, But we're gonna we're gonna work on that.

617
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: It's to the anglophone here. It's how they've been saying it.

618
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: Yeah no, but that's that's not as good as how

619
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: you say it.

620
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: That's that's not fun. The fun way, the fun way,

Speaker 3: the correct way. Glean and by the way, we uh we.

622
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: Italy finally won a soccer match of consequence yesterday over

623
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: over the formidable side from Moldova in World Cup qualifying

624
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: so to nil. But the but the manager Spaetti was

625
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: he was fired over the weekend, so we've got a

626
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: new new beginning. We need to find who that new

627
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: manager is going to because we cannot miss the World

628
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,719
Speaker 3: Cup for a third straight cycle. That would not be acceptable.

629
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm counting on the suit we to find

630
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 3: their way to to get back in the big dance.

631
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: After tonight, I'll give you a Pochettino free, absolutely free, well,

632
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: absolutely free.

633
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: You can have.

634
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: We might he has an Italian surname and uh and

635
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: and he probably would be able to find a way

636
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: to to lead lead Italy to the qualifying But but again, uh,

637
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: the US. I got two teams, and I'm not terribly

638
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: thrilled about either one of them right now. So that's

639
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: that's where that's where I'm at. I don't get to

640
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: be a fan of many things, but world soccer I am,

641
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: and right now being a fan of my two teams

642
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: is not a ton of fun. So I've gotta we've

643
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: got to work on that good thing. I'm trying to

644
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: build the ambassador role there between the US and Italy

645
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: and find a way to somehow cobble together a team

646
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: release of Italian Americans that can maybe score some goals.

647
