21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: a bit of a commanding lead. Yes, recommanding.

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: Yes, it was commanding. It was fifteen douns down to eleven.

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: It's eleven points.

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: Yes, But you know what's crazy about is that a

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: cuff has not really gone off. I think he was

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: like four of eight or four of nine. Yeah, eleven

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: points or.

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Fifty forty three and a half. He's got eleven points,

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: three of eight from the field.

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a great first half. He's gonna come alive.

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: He's averaged thirty a game his last five games, So

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: that's good for Arkansas. They're only down eleven, yet their

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: defense is atrocious. Arizona shooting like sixty four percent. That's crazy,

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 4: Yet they're still only up eleven. That that's how I

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: can't understand why we're not up by like twenty something

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: points right now, and we have balanced score. We're getting

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: to the foul line. So one half down, twenty minutes.

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: To go, Arkansas taking a page out of the Arny

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: Span your playbook. Two of twelve from three point range.

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what's killing them right now.

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: Right, go for twos, get inside work the rotation, try

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: to pick up some files, all of those kind of things.

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: Stop the clock as you go but fifteen of seventeen

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: from the foul line are the Arizona Wildcats. Eleven of

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: thirteen for Arkansas. That's right, thirty free throws in the

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: first half. That's not good for business, it is, but

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: eleven point game. Come on, it's a nice comfortable now.

48
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: You get fifteen minutes to just kind of twiddle your

49
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 3: thumbs and talk.

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 4: Is it me or is it the halftimes? Not even

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: fifteen maybe more twenty minutes now, it's like the halftimes

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: are twice as long as they used to be. In

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: round number one. Usually they just sit the clock in

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: twelve minutes and you get the teams back out there.

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 4: It's like twenty minutes now for halftime.

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: Well, man, you gotta pay those bills. You know that

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: in game timeouts TV timeouts are a bit longer times. Yeah,

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: no question about it. You gotta, you know, pay the bills.

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: Show some more inter interstitials and give you some more

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: of Hey coming up on a next Thursday night, it's

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: an all new episode of insert show X.

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: By the way, there's some executive screaming at somebody right

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: now because the late games, the Houston game against Illinois

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 4: Arizona Arkansas one started ten oh five, one started ten

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: oh six, and the two earlier games they both came

66
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: down pretty much. They were winning the last minute. At

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: the same time. You got to do a better job,

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: you know, spreading these things out, because that's not what

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: they wanted. You certainly didn't want two tip offs at

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: the same exact moment, and you didn't want both games

71
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: going down to the wire, especially when you had it

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: staggered to begin with. So somebody didn't figure out how

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: to do this best.

74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the curiosity is, you know, the first weekend of

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: the tournament, we get wall to wall, right nine oh one,

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: nine oh five whatever. The tip offs are here at

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: West Coast time, and we're often pacing all the way through.

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: It's like college football, right nine am kickoff and then

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: the final final whistle happens about midnight. You get your

80
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: fifteen hours of football if you want to do it.

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: I don't understand how you now on the sweet sixteen.

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: You know, in theory games people really want to watch exactly,

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: and you don't give enough staggering and I'm not even

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: doing the East Coast, you know, pull out the violin

85
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: for the East Coast folks. You're gonna stay up late

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: if you care. But the fact that you can't without

87
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: multiple devices watch the both games that are in progress,

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: and you really can't give either of them your full attention,

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: which is just silly. You know, when they're they're right

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: next to one another, you don't have an hour stagger, right,

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 3: but forty five minutes or whatever.

92
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: But Mike, at the very least, when one game's finishing up,

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: the other game shouldn't be in the last minute either.

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 4: That's not supposed to happen, and both teams are not

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: supposed to tip off at the same exact time. There's

96
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: only four games going on. That was not good planning something,

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: you know, when you're making like you said, when you're

98
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: buying all that time with all that money, you gotta

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: spread it out and staggered her out and have people

100
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: switching back and forth. Not a good idea.

101
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 3: This time, it seems like you have that opportunity to

102
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: really impose your will. You would like our billions, here's

103
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: what we command on the other side. Now, the start

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: of the day yesterday was Opening Night, and we saw

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: the Yankees with the commanding win, Aaron Judge still looking

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: for a hit as in even falling a pitch off

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 3: at this point. But we got Paul Skeens against the

108
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: New York Mets eleven seven final Mets over the Pirates.

109
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: But concerning was the early exit of Paul Skeans. Now

110
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 3: Livy Dunn stayed there and she signed every autograph, post

111
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: for every picture, but clearly not happy that Paul Skeens

112
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: had his early exit only thirty seven pitches thirty seven

113
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: right before he disappears for the day. Here's Skeens after

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: the start.

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta look at it for for what

116
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 5: it is. You know, there wasn't a ton of hard contact.

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a mess, not great, but yeah, you.

118
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 5: Know some balls landed that or you know the Polanco

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 5: ground ball, you know, stuff like that. So it's just

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 5: you know, the it's like the batting average on balls

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: and play thing was super high today.

122
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: Nicely done. That is not a great week for Paul Skins,

123
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: if you know what I mean.

124
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: No, but and look I saw the game. I was

125
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: watching the game. The ball that was hit the center field, Yeah, yeah,

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: that's the one where he didn't get back in time

127
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: and went over his head. Hey, that happens. He just

128
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: didn't get a good jump on the ball should have

129
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 4: caught it. Most center fielders would have caught it. But

130
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: I you know, I'm not gonna, you know, make you

131
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: a big stink about that. The one where he stuck

132
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: out his glove like he was a fifth grader player

133
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: like Lupas and the bad News Bears in right field

134
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: and it just dropped. That was hysterical. That was a

135
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 4: big mistake all the way. But he didn't look sharp.

136
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: He walked I think he walked one one or two batters,

137
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: and he was, you know, giving up contact. He's certainly

138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: not gonna have that era below too this year. That

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 4: ain't that and Ei is a sixty seven right now.

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: But you know what, he he certainly got hit around

141
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: and then he hit a batter too, so he certainly

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: wasn't sharp at all.

143
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: Thirty seven pitches, twenty six for strikes, the O'Neal crew

144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: in a row, uh, the O'Neill cruz inning from hell.

145
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: Certainly as you described it there, Arnie. The fact that

146
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: those are all earned runs is just as they got

147
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: no no but that But that's the problem, right right,

148
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: is that that that's a can of corn man. That

149
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: is that routine fly ball, And what's the first thing,

150
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: the announcer says, he didn't take his sunglasses out. Okay, cool.

151
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: So you get the ball that he misplays taking the

152
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: first step in, it goes over his head. And then

153
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: think if if that's not bad enough, then you get

154
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: the pop fly. That's an easy catch and he just

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: misses it, and before you know it, that inning's gone

156
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: out of control. Schemes is done, finishes after only just

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: two thirds of an inning. To your point, yeah, he

158
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: was not sharp. Everybody trying to figure out the strike

159
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: zone in the ABS world. That's the other part that

160
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: got O'Neil Cruz, which gives him the hat trick of

161
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: terrible decisions and outcomes, is that he thought he drew

162
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: a walk and it was overturned by ABS for strike three.

163
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: So you have that rolling for him.

164
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 4: I like that, By the way, do you do? You

165
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: like the way that's working? What do you get to

166
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 4: and if you get it right, you get to keep.

167
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: Make it take it like you're at the why right

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: So you could.

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: Just do it all all night innings if you keep

170
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: getting it right.

171
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 3: If you get it right, if the Mets like three

172
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,119
Speaker 3: extra ones just in case, But you gotta be judicious

173
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: with it right if you if you challenge early and lose,

174
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: then it becomes situational. And if the game's close, then

175
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: you know you want I have that proverbial feather in

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: the cap for later. I think it'll be interesting to

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: watch how it plays out and gets adjudicated over time.

178
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: I know during spring training a couple of teams had

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: upper thirties in terms of challenges that they initiated, either

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: as pitchers or hitters to try to to really understand

181
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: the system. So a lot was being made as I

182
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: was driving in the Dodgers pregame show kind of talking

183
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: about the measurement process.

184
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: I liked it. I heard about the measurey right.

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: So it's for those unaware. I you know, as they

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: went back through some some players lost inches on their

187
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: well but you know you submitted for the back of

188
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: your baseball card. But now it Aaron.

189
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: Judge is always six feet tall. You didn't know that.

190
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: It's crazy, right, Josel Twove is four foot eleven. But

191
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: all of that just like me. But all of that

192
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: to say is that you have the circumstance by which

193
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: they had to be measured standing straight up and depending

194
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: on the severity of your crouch. It's a much different

195
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: strike zone, right.

196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: We're going to the pits, to the kneeses well.

197
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: But but that's but that's about because we've never called

198
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: it that way, but that's what it is. But that's

199
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: what the right. But that's gonna be the learning process

200
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: for the umpire, for the catcher, for the pitcher, and

201
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: certainly for the hitter really trying to figure out, uh,

202
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: you know, what's going to be a strike in this

203
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: this new phase of baseball. Right, because say you're Don

204
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: Mattingly circa nineteen eighty seven, very deep crouch. Not that

205
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: he's a giant, you know, judge in as a go

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: full on judge in blast. No, but he's not that tall,

207
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: but the way he is crouched, very small strike zone

208
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: right right, and you're hitting to that versus okay, now

209
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: you're measured based on what your actual height is. That's

210
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: a much bigger zone that you suddenly have to cover.

211
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 4: So you make it sound like the pictures, we're giving

212
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: them more of an advantage. Now, it's not like the

213
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 4: hitters have been tearing it up that they're only getting

214
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: a hit three out of ten bets. To begin with, Mike.

215
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: Well let's say I'm the best, what do we have

216
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,479
Speaker 3: twenty guys that approached three hundred last year? If that

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: that's hard, I don't remember top of my head, but

218
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: it was. It was smallish, to be kind. But but

219
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: it is that that idea of just you're trying to

220
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: get it right and implement technology. To your point, I

221
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 3: think it does create a learning, very sharp learning curve,

222
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: but also a disadvantage for a lot of hitters. Also,

223
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: you're also going to have to pitch to a certain

224
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: part of the plate, so it takes away a little

225
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: of the advantage, right the Greg Maddox, Hey, I know

226
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: if I'm consistently maybe a little bit off the black

227
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: on home plate, I'm going to get the call. Well

228
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: that's not going to be the case anymore. Those days

229
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: are over right, No, But but that changes. And you

230
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: also had which means you've got to bring the ball

231
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: back over the plate a bit. Now you can move

232
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: the ball up and down a little bit, which should

233
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: help the hint though. Yeah, so, I mean, but it's

234
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: the learning curve right of how far up or down

235
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: in his zone. Because you and I, you know, as kids,

236
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: the ancient mariners, we are in this seaboy going voyage.

237
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: We we were taught letters to knees. Was it ever

238
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: really called like that?

239
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: Is that a written rule or what? When you like

240
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 4: look up the rules of baseball? That's that's a very

241
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 4: good brush, Shires.

242
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: I might just be an urban legend at this point,

243
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: but that's certainly no idea. It's how we were taught.

244
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: Like the umpire's handbook should say a strike is between

245
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: the armpits and the knees or what.

246
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that's what we were taught. So

247
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: if that's you know, what you're working towards. We've watched

248
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: every every umpire has had their own strike zone for

249
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: as long as they've been in the game, right, and

250
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: now suddenly they all have to conform to this. So

251
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: it's a huge learning curve for them too. Right, if

252
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: you were the umpire that usually it was a low strike,

253
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: and now you've got to call the stuff that's a

254
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: little higher in the zone. You're probably not getting that right.

255
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: You better you better be on it too, because you'll

256
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 4: get shown up with all those challenges going on.

257
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: Well, but that that's the thing, right, is you get

258
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: to plus two and the bonus, and if suddenly a

259
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: team is on like Challenge seven because you're just having

260
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: a bad day at the plate, right reputationally you're already

261
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: you're already wearing it, but now you're gonna have the

262
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: data to back it up. Yeah, they challenged him twenty

263
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: two times in the first week. How meany to get right? Two?

264
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: Tell you it's potential for absolute chaos as it goes.

265
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: But for Paul Skins didn't look particularly sound today. They're

266
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: gonna dismiss any some of the speculation about where he

267
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: is physically and everything. But you know, certainly when they

268
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: have to get rid.

269
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 4: Of him already when they have him for two more

270
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: years Dodger next year.

271
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dodger or right, I enjoy that. How many more

272
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: years of control does he do they have before?

273
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: It's what's ahead.

274
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: But he sounded a bit despondent out of that. I mean,

275
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: that's sure tough one, especially because he's doing everything he

276
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: can to not throw O'Neil Cruz under the bus. Like

277
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: he's out of that inning with minimal damage. He's gonna

278
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: be Field, does half his job.

279
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: He's gonna be the highest paid five hundred pitcher ever,

280
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 4: that's for sure.

281
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know what you know already have cy Young's

282
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: in the book for such things. So uh and go

283
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 3: back to Jacob de Gram when he won for them. Yeah,

284
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: he's a stick of genius. In for Jason Smith, I'm

Speaker 3: back in Jason Smith Show with Me, Mike Carman. No

334
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: Jason Tonight already span your the stinking genius himself in

335
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: his stead. Arizona now out to a fifteen point lead

336
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: once again. As the second half is underway. You breathe it. Okay,

337
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: you're all right.

338
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: It was thirteen and you just jumped me on the

339
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: two points there, but ye have fifteen. I'm breathing, okay,

340
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: I feel okay, But you can't you know, you can't

341
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 4: count these things still. It's just the beginning of the

342
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: second half. You never know when Arkansas is going to

343
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: make a run there. So good offensively, and we know

344
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 4: how great a cuff is, so I gotta take it

345
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: every couple of minutes of the times.

346
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: As you say that, a tip dunk flying through the

347
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: lane to make it a thirteen point game once again.

348
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 3: Eighteen twenty left there, Illinois and Houston again. Not the

349
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: barn burner you would hope for, not thirty three twenty six.

350
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 3: It's close, and one of the mantras of the show

351
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: we have many we've been together yelling at each other

352
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: for a long time, is all I need is for

353
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: it to be close late. I don't have a rooting

354
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: interest in a lot of these games, but we just

355
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: need it close late because it'll be more compelling than

356
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: the blowouts, you know. The running joke of NBA Night Tonight,

357
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: and that's something you and I were chatting about a

358
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 3: little bit earlier. Small schedule for the NBA Tonight coming

359
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: down the stretch run the Lakers, I believe, as Frostburg

360
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: always would say, they are back with Luka Doncic having

361
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: some historic runs right now.

362
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: It is crazy how good they're playing right now. I

363
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: never saw this coming, you know.

364
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's the bigger thing, though, arn'tie, is they're doing

365
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: it against good teams right right and that and that's

366
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: the they were stacking wins early in the year, middle

367
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: of the year, and that's fine. And you go back

368
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: and you look at the stretches they were on where

369
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: it was a lot of what became also also ran squads.

370
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: And again, you can only beat who's on the schedule

371
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 3: and stack as many wins as you can.

372
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: By the way, you know what they're gonna say, if

373
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: they would a championship, Oh, Lebron really doesn't deserve this one.

374
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: He was only the third fiddle in.

375
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: The No, no, no, no, everybody's gonna kiss his ass

376
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: because yeah, because he suplemated, he subjected himself to hey squad, Yeah,

377
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: and he took a seat. Oh no, no, no, this

378
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: is a Machiavellian master class here because if it blows up, look,

379
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: he did everything he could down.

380
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: I step back.

381
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: You told me to be the third you know, no,

382
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: but that's it, right, So you're seeing the other role

383
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: players step up, but Luca has been otherworldly. They're beating

384
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 3: good teams and and suddenly you know here in Los Angeles,

385
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: as much as people are excited for the return of

386
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, you know that that gets pushed a little bit. Right,

387
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: They're gonna still get a monitor every Otani at bat,

388
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: big win tonight here on opening night, ring nights tomorrow.

389
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 3: But you're playing for October and you know that right

390
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: like that, that's really all it is. So it's you

391
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: arrivee the lightning. Until then, you hope you're healthy down

392
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: the stretch. You hope that Edwin Diaz left anything out

393
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: of that Mets clubhouse there. Sorry, I had to take.

394
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 4: The Dodgers are a team. There's not too many teams

395
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: other than let's see the Yankees that you want to

396
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 4: watch if you're not a fan of the team, and

397
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: the Dodgers are the team you want to watch, you

398
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: know most well the time you're just watching. It's a

399
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: very localized you're just watching your team. Because there's one

400
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games. You can't watch all of

401
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 4: your team and then watch other teams too, but the Dodgers,

402
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: but you want to watch them. You want to stop

403
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 4: and see what's going on, just like the way the

404
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: Celtics used to be in the Lakers and and the

405
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: Cowboys and stuff like that.

406
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there must must see television every night

407
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: up in that lineup. There's not an easy out to it.

408
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: It just becomes the can they stay healthy? Will they

409
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: have enough pitching starting wise? I think they're doing an

410
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: opener tomorrow, uh for Game two of the season, so

411
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: you wi'll watch it as that unfolds. But but it's

412
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: it's just the it's good to have a team that

413
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 3: everybody's chasing. Now the economics of the game and how

414
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: things are adjudicated. Folks that just want to prop someone

415
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: up as a villain without doing any of the due

416
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: diligence of how everything came to pass, you know that

417
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: that's their prerogative, right, But you know, the if everybody

418
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: got a common enemy, it's the way it should be, right.

419
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: You know, in your household, right, Arnie, you were the

420
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: common enemy. Right when your son and your wife and

421
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: you know, you're all yelling at each other. It's like

422
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: eventually you like, you know, send all that energy to me, right,

423
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: I need you two to get along. So we keep

424
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: moving forward, right, that that kind of thing as you

425
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: go through. But you know, for the Dodgers, go back

426
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: to a TV deal that was made a while back

427
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: that has now created some of the economic issues that

428
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: are there now. The parking thing, Frank McCourt still makes

429
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: money hand over fits there good on him there, but

430
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: deferred money tapping into the Japanese marketplace, and the money

431
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: and sponsorships and all of that that flow. I mean,

432
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: that's why Arnie Marino, when everybody was all mad at him,

433
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: they didn't trade Otani. It's like he didn't want to

434
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: have to give back any of the money, right right,

435
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: Like that was a lot of cash for a half

436
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: a season. If he had traded Otani away. It was pragmatism. Man.

437
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: By the way, You know, I love Ardie Marina. You

438
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: know where he went to school, University of Arizona, which

439
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 4: was the Harvard of the Southwest. But you would have

440
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 4: thought that the Angels would have done a lot better

441
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: than they had done that last what seven years with him,

442
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: uh and tild But.

443
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean he's one guy. Trout had his run. You

444
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: paid for what you hoped would be a good run

445
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: with Albert Poolholes. And we said it on air the

446
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: night that the Rendown deal went down that it'll be

447
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: the worst deal ever made. And sure enough he hasn't

448
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: been on Aveelias on the sixty day disabled list again.

449
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: One of the worst moves ever, you know, ever.

450
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: I mean you're talking about and go back to Josh Hamilton, like,

451
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: there were just a lot of decisions and a lot

452
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: of money that was right, I mean just money that

453
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: was burned along the way. And Otani as Gratz, he

454
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 3: was right. He had some injury issues. Trout wasn't was

455
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 3: starting to break down physically. Home run today and opening days,

456
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: so good for him. But you never had a team

457
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: around them. They're pick staff was perennially one of the

458
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 3: worst in baseball. They still drew three million, right because

459
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: you were going to get people coming to Anaheim to

460
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: go to Disneyland and they go down the street.

461
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you think they were in contention by accident

462
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: after all those years, even you know, even with just

463
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 4: an average pitching staff, they should have been better than

464
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 4: they were. They were never in contingent except for once.

465
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: And that was what a brief playoff stint?

466
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 5: Was it?

467
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: That was the only time Trout was in the playoffs?

468
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 3: No, that's it right, very brief appearance. And they be

469
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: a do so where they sit right now, the Los

470
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: Angeles Angels of Anaheim is how I will always call

471
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 3: them and turn them because it's kind of funny. But

472
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: once they got Shoho Tani to free agency and he

473
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: decided he was going to take his wares up the

474
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: five and they've built what is now for the next

475
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: decade an absolute juggernaut.

476
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 4: So, by the way, are you going to keep up this?

477
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: You know, love for baseball? You know, once opening is done,

478
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: and you know we got the Final Four and then

479
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 4: we got the NFL Draft and you know we got

480
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff going on, are you gonna still

481
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 4: be into this? I love baseball. Figure you're gonna got

482
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 4: a Most people are gonna go by the wayside now

483
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: that the opening day is done.

484
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Well, you ask, what is young Mikey Harmon? Do I

485
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: I celebrate?

486
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: So?

487
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: I mean, no, they steak right, They're They're terrible and

488
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 3: they're probably gonna lose one hundred games plus. Again that's hard.

489
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 4: The Mets, No, not the Met's where the games? You know,

490
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 4: I could actually I could now take that. You could

491
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: take a ferry to the game instead of going that

492
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: either driving or taking the train. And if you take

493
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: the ferry, it's eighty dollars a person, but it saves

494
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: on a whole bunch of hassle. I'll tell you.

495
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: It's like a little bit of a cruise too. You

496
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: can feel good about cruise, Yeah, a little cruise down

497
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: the way.

498
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 4: That's a lot of money, eighty dollars a person.

499
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: Well, but again it becomes it's it's optionality right in

500
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: a pinch. If it's faster and it's less hassle. Yeah,

501
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: your time, your frustration and this goes to anything, right,

502
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: it's it's why there there's the the culture of the

503
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: the grub hubs and and door dashes and everything. Right

504
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: is the my time has value to it. Yes, So

505
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: if if I can keep working or I'm with my

506
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: family or whatever, and someone else can bring me food

507
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: or Amazon deliveries or whatever, so I don't have to

508
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: go to a hardware store, I don't.

509
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 4: Know, you could take to the game.

510
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Well, but that's it, right, If that's happening time and

511
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: I have to deal with fewer people, right in terms

512
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: of not just the customer service and interaction part of it.

513
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: But eighty dollars becomes a different experience than we're paying

514
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 3: two fifty to take the train, right, I mean, let's

515
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 3: just call it what it is. Yeah, and it's and

516
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: it's not to cast dispersions on folks that have eighty

517
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 3: dollars versus two fifty, but you're gonna have. If folks

518
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: are paying eighty dollars, they're doing it for the convenience

519
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: and because they're not gonna have crowds with them.

520
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 4: By the way, can I ask you a quick math question.

521
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: I don't want to make a change the subject, but tell.

522
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: Me the answers to one plus one.

523
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: No.

524
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 5: No.

525
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 4: But when you're when you're seven feet two and then

526
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 4: you hold the ball up with one hand like more

527
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 4: Creevus does, and you're eight two and then you jump

528
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 4: and you're like ten two, how do you miss a layup?

529
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 4: I just don't understand that with the rims ten feet tall,

530
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: because you got no touch. I just don't understand that.

531
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes, if you're just wishing you had that issue, you

532
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 3: think you're gonna go get heightened for your next phase of.

533
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 4: If I was seven two, i'd be playing in the

534
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 4: NBA right now.

535
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, by accident, i'd be retired. You would have at

536
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 3: least got a little run overseas, no question about it. Hey,

546

Speaker 3: friends before the night ends. But will I still be

547
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: excited about baseball?

548
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

549
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. My team's lost more than one hundred games three

550
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: of the last four.

551
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 4: Years, and you're another reason. It's actually for people like you,

552
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 4: Mike is the reason why we got to go to

553
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: a split season. I mean, eventually, you're gonna get bored

554
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 4: when your team is twenty two and a half games

555
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: out of first one.

556
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: Well, but I'm also like for the White Sox, I'm curious, right,

557
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: Ishbi is coming in with a bunch of money and

558
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: while it may not be the way the Dodgers are run,

559
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: right that giant infusion of cash and stability there, you're

560
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: hoping that there's a different philosophy.

561
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: Let me give you hope. Hope you're saying hope. Let

562
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 4: me give you hope by giving you a split season.

563
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 4: Let me give you hope.

564
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: That stinks after that's gonna stink again.

565
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 4: You never know after eighty one, you stink. You never

566
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: know when they put everything together and they get on

567
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 4: a roll and maybe they make a wild card or something.

568
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: But at least I've given you another opening day. I've

569
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: given you two opening days, two Pennant races, you know,

570
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: and New Hope twice a year. One hundred and sixty

571
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: two games. Way too much just to have one season.

572
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 4: And and when your team is thirty out you expect

573
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 4: the fans to go. Are not gonna do that? Mike?

574
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: Well, but in the end, you've you've crossed that that

575
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: bridge multiple times. Right. If you're a team that's a

576
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: perennial loser, right, you're hoping to have that guy like

577
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's Mike.

578
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: That's why we added a team. That's why we added

579
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: a team into the two teams into the playoffs. We

580
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: had that more teams to the playoffs.

581
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: That's it.

582
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: By virtue of the extra wild cards, you're getting that.

583
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: Juice, you're getting more race.

584
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: You're still gonna have teams that fall off the map. Yes,

585
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: And the way the baseball works and organizationally, the draft

586
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: doesn't have the same juice or anywhere near it. Not

587
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: that we talk about the NBA and the NFL, so

588
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: when we talk about tanking, it's just not spending money

589
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball versus Hey, there's a huge benefit

590
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: to go into the draft. Doesn't mean that you don't

591
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: want the number one pick, right, because there are rules

592
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: to preclude you from getting that multiple times in the role.

593
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: The White Sox certainly know that. But you're not necessarily

594
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: stockpiling talent. You know, the trust the process where I

595
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: might have in two years, three years, three guys that

596
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: are top five picks. So in theory, in an NBA

597
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: kind of world, I've got three starters.

598
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, those days of saying we have a good farm

599
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 4: system are over, you know what I mean. Well, they've

600
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 4: got good, good double A team. I don't think those

601
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: days are those days are over well, but I mean

602
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 4: they still exist for the luxury of like the Dodgers.

603
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: Right, it's if you're good up top and you spend

604
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: time in a ten at the details, you can carry

605
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: through a season. Right. Why they don't need Blake Snell

606
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: or some of these guys to be available until June

607
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: is that they do a good job of developing the

608
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: young guys to eat some innings some starts use the

609
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: spot starter and whatever.

610
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: But they still have to go to free agency to win.

611
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: They still have to spend the big money to do that.

612
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: But ultimately you have to decide where where you're comfortable

613
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: in that spending. We've seen for years. You had the

614
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 3: A's back in the day moneyball. They never got over,

615
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: but they were competitive on a minimal salary. Now, it

616
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: also helped that you had three of the greatest pitchers

617
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,480

Speaker 3: board was the nine to nine to nine challenge. Seems

773
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 3: like a lot of ballparks are integrating this into their

774
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: food options for the year. Here's your mini hot dogs

775
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: and your whatever, your decorative boxes, and then we give

776
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: you small cups emblazoned with the team logo. And it's

777
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 3: supposed to be nine beers, nine hot dogs, nine innings.

778
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 4: Smart to give somebody nine beers, by the way.

779
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, but the idea is that if I'm giving your

780
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: nine beers, that you know you're you're not drinking them yourself.

781
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: While the challenge is that I think the spirit of

782
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: what they're trying to do here is we've come to

783
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: the ballpark with several people and we're gonna spread this out. Well,

784
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 3: here's what happened to San Francisco. They paid the money

785
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: and then realize you get one twenty four ounce beer

786
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 3: to pour across your nine mini cups. No, so basically

787
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: you're getting a shot no beer with your mini hot dog.

788
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: The commemorative cups are there, but I mean, it's the

789
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 3: principle of the matters. Wait, I'm not even getting nine

790
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: cheap you know, domestic beers. I'm getting one one tall

791
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 3: boy that I now have to parse out over nine

792
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 3: miny cups. Well, I mean that's just the thing right

793
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 3: from one side, You go, wow, business wise, that's just brilliant. Right,

794
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: you get all that money in one fell Swoop mini

795
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 3: hot dogs. What's my cost per unit here? Is nothing?

796
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 3: And I'm only giving you one beer. I was pretty well,

797
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: but but that's when it comes down to right, because

798
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: those folks may not be coming back for more hot dogs.

799
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: Maybe the nine gets it done, but I guarantee, if

800
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 3: you're sharing those many hot dogs with somebody else, you're

801
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: definitely gonna want another one of those tall boys, or

802
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: maybe more so. The beer money will keep flowing. But

803
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 3: people were crying foul, going wait, that's all I get

804
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: out of this process, And I said, we'll do the

805
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 3: math in terms of what one beer.

806
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 4: Normally right exactly.

807
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: I mean you're talking twelve to twenty bucks depending on size, style,

808
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: and location of said beer.

809
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 4: Unless you're going to Atlanta. Atlanta, really Arthur Blank makes it.

810
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 4: He doesn't even mark up the prices. I don't know

811
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 4: if you've seeing that.

812
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they did that. On the football side,

813
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: that's great, I think what well, But I think what

814
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: they did there is a little bit like the Costco Chicken.

815
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 3: It's a loss leader. Yes, so I get you in

816
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 3: the door, you're gonna fill your card up with other stuff,

817
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: but you feel good and satisfied that you only spend

818
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: four bucks on a chicken. Likewise, I may have a

819
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: crappy product, we may not win a lot of games,

820
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 3: and you're gonna pay for your tickets. But here's a

821
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 3: two dollars hot dog and some sodium to washing you

822
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: like what I did there, He's already spent your at

823
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 3: sticking genius one where you find and find me over

824
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: at Swollendum back to college buckets, the close of these

825
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: games and the coaching carousel. That's a
