1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Maybe I was incorrect in my assessment of 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the early part of his career. I 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: didn't think he knew how to play the position. He's 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: playing it as well as anybody. We'll talk to Rex 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: Ryan coming up next hour. Of course, the Jets head 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: coach started out as a defensive coordinator. If you were 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: going to devise a game plan for Josh Allen or 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, who would you pick that you would want 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: to go against. David Khne, former pitcher, now works for 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: the Yankee Network the Yes Network. He'll join us to 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: talk about the amazing season of Aaron Judge, who is 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: right now winning the Triple Crown. Would David Khone pitch 14 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: to Aaron Judge in today's game? It feels like you're 15 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: waiting for something to hit. You're gonna try to hit 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: a home run, and I'm going to throw a pitch 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna try to strike you out. But in 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: a day and age of the analytics where it's all 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: about hitting a home run, why is it we have 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: one guy hitting a lot of home runs? Where's everybody else? 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: It's about hitting home runs. That's the analytics. Do you 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: realize when's the last time somebody hit a certain number 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: of home runs and the person who was in second 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: place was twenty home runs behind them? Kyle Schwarber, I 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: think has forty Aaron Judge with sixty, I don't know 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: the last time you had that separation. I don't know 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: if it was with Barry Bonds. Yes. Are you making 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: a statement a state with that? Or is that a question? 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: It's a questionable statement, I think is what it is. 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: It kind of feels like you're saying something with that. Well, 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if it means testings working so you're 32 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: not getting as many flukes to hit fifty or sixty 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: home runs that Aaron Judge might be a clean home 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: run champ. Maybe. I mean there's suspicions. There's always going 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: to be suspicions, but baseball is to blame for it 36 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: because we did buy into everything. You believed everything, and 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you didn't believe anything, and 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: now we're kind of working our way back. But with 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, is either you know, the true home run champ. 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: If he does get to sixty two, there's probably a 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: lot of people who are going to think that way. 42 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: Go back to the former commissioner, Bud Selig when I 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: ask him about who does he consider the all time 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: home run champ, and he said, Hank Aaron, But he 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything about Barry Bonds. Bonds is number one 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: in the record books and you can't take on a 47 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: racer to them. Eight seven seven three d P Show 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: email address DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: dp show update the poll results from our one seat, 50 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: no counter our one damn more impressive hitting seventy three 51 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: home runs in a season or sixty plus home runs 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: three times in four years, eighty percent of the audience 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: rather hit sixty three times. Well, yeah, there's consistency there 54 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: with Sammy Sosa, but he is not going to get 55 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame, not even going to come close, 56 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: even when it goes to the Veterans Committee. And I 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: don't know if that would help or hurt Roger Clemens 58 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: or Berry Bonds, because it feels like the veterans would 59 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: hold it against Bonds in Clements. I think their chance 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: has to do with younger writers, younger voters, But Sammy 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: Sosa's name never comes up. We say good morning. If 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: you're watching on Peacock, that's our streaming partner.

Jerry Jones, Doctor Jerry Jones had an update. 75 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Somebody should just give him a doctorate, just make him 76 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: a doctor and cruciate Tarcel. Here is Jerry Jones giving 77 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: us an update on Dak Prescott. You'll see probably a 78 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: real advancement in his timeline. I don't know when that is. 79 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: I do know that I think after a good airing 80 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: out last week, everybody recognizes that he'll be back sooner 81 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: than later as far as the timeline, and really could 82 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: be a minimal of two weeks up here in my mind. 83 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Now that's very optimistic. I appreciate that he wants to 84 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: give me an update if I'm a Cowboys fan, but 85 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: if I'm Dak Prescott, I don't want Jerry to be 86 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: speeding up my timeline. And I don't want you to 87 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: prepare for Dak Prescott if you're going to face him 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. How about we just say 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: when Dak gets ready, he'll be back. We're looking forward 90 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: to him coming back, maybe sooner. But you never know. 91 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: You can't do that. You can't suit us, you can't. 92 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: You just got to be fair to Dak Prescott, who's 93 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: gone through all of the you know, the ankle surgery 94 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: and now you got the thumb, and now coming back, 95 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: and we expect him back in a couple of weeks 96 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: quicker because he's a cowboy, and he heals quicker. He 97 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: m a gluten. I was in the room, but the doctor, 98 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I said, you staples, not stitches. It's a heal fast. 99 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: He listened as he should, Prescot. When the doctor said scalpel, 100 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: I said right here and I gave it to him 101 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: more suction, said go with a lighter touch, Doc, It'll 102 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: help with the healing process. Think of the team. Can 103 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: imagine wanted to be in the room. I wouldn't be. 104 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: I would not be shocked if you said that. Jerry 105 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Jones wanted to watch the series. Who's gonna wash my hands? 106 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: The same kid who does my glasses? Can you can 107 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: you help me here?

Nathan Annual Hackett Junior, the third he's 118 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: still the Broncos head coach, and he said the obvious yesterday. 119 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: It is a press conference, so we got to make 120 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: sure the communication is clear and concise. I need to 121 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: do better at making decisions faster and quicker in getting 122 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: that information to the quarterback and being on the same 123 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: page with him. It's it's got to improve. It's about 124 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: organization and communication. We just need to tighten that process 125 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: up so we can make better decisions faster. The most 126 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: important thing is being on the same page with Russell also, 127 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: and I think I could do a better job and 128 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: making him aware of that. Yes, you can lobotomy. I 129 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: dated a girl named Anna Stagia. He's a hat she 130 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: put me under, if you know what I'm family programs. 131 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: Should coach Hackett be more middle of the road on 132 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: this one and less apologetic, more like, hey, what if 133 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: he it didn't sound like he was learning from his 134 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: mistakes where he didn't say, you know, it's on me. 135 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: I gotta let Russ get the get the play sooner 136 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: and get out and then if he wants to change 137 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: the play, it's on me instead of, Hey, you know what, 138 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: this is the way I coach, or this is the 139 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: way we're gonna do it. I want my coach to it. 140 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: I want him to at least be honest with my players. 141 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be honest with the media as 142 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: much as the players need to know. Hey, that's on me. 143 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: I gotta get you the play sooner. So you come 144 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: out of the huddle and you're ready to go. Yeah. See, 145 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: it feels like he's fallen on the sword a little 146 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: too much. Well, you don't want your coach that apologetic. No, okay, 147 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to be so apologetic that I sound 148 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: incomfident and there's a there's a fine line between that. 149 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: But maybe it's a little too much about you know, 150 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: is it just dawning on you that you have to 151 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: make decisions quickly at the end of the game. Well, 152 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: he's new to the press conference, because when you're you know, 153 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a quarterbacks coach or an offensive coordinator, you're not talking 154 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: to the media. Now you go in there and all 155 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're like, wait, what did I say? Wait, 156 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: they're twisting my word. Wait I didn't mean that well 157 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: too much. Yeah.

It 166 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: tastes like catch it eke surgery. Yeah yeah, No. I 167 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: saw the ankle and I thought there is no way. 168 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I remember when Schilling came out of the dugout and 169 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: I thought, oh my god, red light Kurt, because that 170 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: was his nickname whenever the red light came on in 171 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: the camera. He was always in front of the camera. 172 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: And he came out and he was gonna do a 173 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: bullpen session. I go, oh man, as he starved for attention. 174 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: Comes back in from the bullpen session. I say to 175 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: Terry Francona, I said, what is he doing. He goes Dan, 176 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna try to pitch, and I go, oh my god. 177 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: And then seeing that ankle, I thought there was no 178 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: way just walking. It's still one of the most incredible 179 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: things that I witnessed, and even to this day, seetan 180 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't care if he put ketchup on that sock. 181 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: It didn't matter going out there. And why the Yankees 182 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: didn't bunt fifteen times that day, I'll never know because 183 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: he couldn't go get it. I would have just bunted 184 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: and made him use that ankle. Start. Yeah it is. 185 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: We're not gonna bunt, We're gonna dig him beat. That 186 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: would have been awesome though. It would have like three 187 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: batters right in a row, laid down a bunch, just 188 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: making them work. Yeah. Game six. I think the Yankees 189 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: knew that his ankle wasn't really hurt, so they were 190 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: like not falling for this. Ruse ruse Katie and Oxford. Hi, Katie, 191 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Good morning Dan? I wanted 192 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: to first and down thirty five. Good for you. I 193 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: believe that you guys should pull the tape from the 194 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: last segment of the first hour. Um Fritzy clause just 195 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: in case Harlan and Sterling use it so that you 196 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: guys are these Fritzy can put a season to assist 197 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: on it and fun his kids. Okay, Katie, thank you. 198 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: H taking some legal matters. I think she's saying if 199 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: this home run call, that Fritzie had potential home run 200 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: call for Aaron judge that maybe we could sue and 201 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: then Fritzie could make some money. That's an interesting thought. Yeah, 202 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: it takes a while to get the whole copyright going 203 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah yeah, but you know, it's our gift 204 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: to America, that's all. It's our gift. Well college, it's 205 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: very expensive, it is. He does have a valid point, 206 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: she does. But we're not litigious on this show. We 207 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,479 Speaker 1: try not to be. No, we're not. We're not litigious. 208 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: You know what that means. Yeah, we're not people looking 209 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: for losses to sue people. Okay, we don't want to 210 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: take people to court just for land reasons. All right. 211 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: Matt in Tennessee? Hi, Matt, what's on your mind? Hey Matt, 212 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: and I'll talk about Russell Westbrook. Thanks man, trying to 213 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: help him out. You think that he's calling from Tennessee? Talk? 214 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be bizarre? Lee and Oklahoma? Hi? Lee? Hey, 215 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Dan five eleven, slowly losing to wait at a two hundred. 216 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: I've got an eron judge call. Probably can't do Todd justice, 217 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: but got an eron judge call, and I got a 218 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: quick call in my eron judge call. Is the judge 219 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: sentences himself? To the record books with sixty two. Okay, 220 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: so and then uh and just one quick thing, Uh, 221 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: why can't MLB just get the ball back? How come 222 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: when the balls are hid into the stands, they automatically 223 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: belong to the players. If a ball incidentally goes into 224 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: the stands at a football game, basketball game, or soccer game, 225 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: they're automatically taken back. But if they go into it 226 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: at baseball, it's like, once it crossed that line, it 227 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: belongs to the fens. And I've always wondered that why 228 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: do they have to ask it for it back from 229 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: the fans. Why can't they take it back? Well, it's tradition, 230 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: and plus there's so many baseballs that are put in play, 231 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: foul balls, batting practice, plus the cost of a football 232 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: or a basketball or a soccer ball a whole lot 233 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: different than a baseball. But there is that time honored tradition. 234 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: Never caught a home run ball. I got a foul 235 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: ball off a ricochet behind home plate at Riverfront Stadium, 236 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: off the bat of Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs. 237 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: And it was one of those where I snuck down 238 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: into the blue seats and foul ball behind home plate, 239 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: and I just watched it hit right in front of me, 240 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: and then it bounced up and then I was the 241 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: tallest person there and I grabbed it. And I remember 242 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: telling Ron Santo about Ron signed the ball for me. 243 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: I kept the ball, and I saw him in spring 244 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: training many many, many years later, and I said, hey, 245 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: got a foul ball that you hit at Riverfront Stadium 246 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: and he signed a baseball yester time. How many kids 247 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: had just shoved out of the way to get that 248 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Santo ball? How many kids? Well, I was a kid, 249 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: so we're an older kid. How old are what's a cutoff? 250 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: I was probably fourteen. I think that means I can 251 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: push other kids out of the way. The eight year 252 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: old just said, you elbowed him in the face. It's 253 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: a bloody nose. Now that ball mean that much to you. 254 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: I might have been tall for my age, but I mustache. 255 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Definitely didn't have a mustache. Yes, 256 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: morph Now, I'm good with you pushing kids out of 257 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: the way. If you have a curfew, you're all good 258 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: with fighting for the ball. This was an afternoon game. Yeah, 259 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: if all of you guys have to be home by 260 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: the street light, then yeah, fair game. Yeah, but yeah, like, 261 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: that's the only baseball I think I ever got was 262 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: a foul ball, no home runs. Yeah. I went to 263 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: a USFL football game one time and it was the 264 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: Chicago Blitz and they forgot to get out the nets 265 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: that go behind the gold posts, so there is any 266 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: thing to do it. Yeah. The staffing in the USFL 267 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: was substandard, as you can imagine, and so every time 268 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: they would kick a field goal or extra point, it 269 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: would go into the stands and the fans would catch 270 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: it and it was like finding gold. You know, you 271 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: don't never catch a baseball football. I'll catch a football 272 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: a football game in the NFL, and security he was 273 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: trying to come over in the fans like now we're 274 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: not giving it back, and you know, they only had 275 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: six security people in the whole place. So fans were 276 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: keeping footballs that day. It's pretty cool. I almost got 277 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: one a lot of big kids. Yes, I got an 278 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: NFL football Colts Patriots game at Foxborough. Way did you 279 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: steal it? I did not. The punter so my mom 280 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: was working for CBS at the time and I was 281 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: on the sidelines with my little credential and the punter 282 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: for the Colts his last name was Kite. He was 283 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: a black punter, like a unicorn, and he gave he 284 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: was Reggie Roby. Yeah, And so he gave me one 285 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: of the balls he was practicing kicking with. Oh cool, yeah, 286 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, thank you. I was like, 287 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: and this ball is slippery, I can catch this? Hm? Yes? 288 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: Does that counter's getting a ball when it was supposed 289 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: to fighting fans for it and have bounced a certain 290 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: way in your cotter, I didn't catch it. It's like 291 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: this far away from being like, oh yeah, I got 292 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: this NFL ball an eBay. It's basically the same thing, 293 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: like one the auction. What is that? Let me take 294 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: a break.

If you were pitching last 328 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: night in the ninth inning, when Aaron Judge came to 329 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: the plate, would you have gone at him or avoided 330 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: in that situation, I would have gone at him. I 331 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: thought Will Crow did the right thing. You had a 332 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: four run lead, you know, Aaron Judge at that point 333 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: it was a three one count. Yeah, yeah, I would 334 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: have challenged him. You know, I pitched in Cal Ripken's 335 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: last game at Camden Yards, and I threw him nothing 336 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: but fastballs the whole night. I tried to challenge him. 337 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: It was kind of the honor system. I knew it 338 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: was his fair. You know, I respected him so much. 339 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: So I've actually been in that situation before, and I 340 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: did exactly what Will Crow did last night. I admired that. 341 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: You know that you felt like, hey, this is the 342 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: last time we're gonna see Cal, and I if he hits, 343 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: if he takes me deep you were fine with that. 344 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: I was fine with it. It was a meaningless game 345 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: and it was his last game, and that had such 346 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: enormous respect for how he went about it. And I 347 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: think that's part of the reason why you see opposing 348 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: pictures respect Aaron Judge so much, because the way he acts, 349 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: the way he carries himself. He hit the sixtieth home run, 350 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: set his bat down, quietly, ran around the bases as 351 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: if it was like any other home run, and I 352 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: think that really resonates with opposing pictures. And I've heard 353 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: that around the league about how much respect that Aaron 354 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Judge garners because it's just the way he carries himself, 355 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: similar to the way Cal Ripken carried himself. How would 356 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: you pitch to Aaron Judge. He has really changed Dan 357 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he's really made great improvements on 358 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: not chasing as many breaking balls. You know, you used 359 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: to try to get him to chase sliders off the plate, 360 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: right and left, one after another, Eventually you'd get him 361 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: to chase. He's not doing that anymore. When guys stopped 362 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: chasing fastballs and slow stuff away, then they're usually susceptible 363 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: with fastballs up and end he's hitting those pitches as 364 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: well this year, so there's really no one place to 365 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: go and get him out this year. I think that's 366 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: why he's on the verge of a triple crown in 367 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: the American League this year. Yeah, and I think that's important. 368 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: You know, his batting eye and he's he's thirty years 369 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: of age, so that that to me is what's interesting. 370 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: That he is making himself better, learning to be a 371 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: better player at age thirty. That doesn't normally happen at 372 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: that age. No, he doesn't. You know, he's got a 373 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: set up. He's got sort of his own program, his 374 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: own hitting style, his own swing that he owns. But 375 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: he also has these high speed pitching machines the Yankee 376 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: Stadium and the bows of the stadium. If you walk 377 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: through the bowels of Yankee Stadium, you'll see a pitching 378 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: sort of a batting cage setup for Aaron Judge, and 379 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: it's a high speed pitching machine that throws one hundred 380 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: mile an hour sliders. It it can make a break 381 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: at that high velocity. And he'll go up there in 382 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: between innings and he'll just track really fast sliders, high 383 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: spin sliders, and he's trained his eye to sort of 384 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: see that, so that when he's in the game and 385 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: he sees a ninety mile an hour slider, it's like 386 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: taking the donut off the bat, you know, it's like, oh, yeah, 387 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: I track it, I see it. Now. Who do you 388 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: consider the single season home run chih Wow? You know 389 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: there's an asterisk. It's still Barry Bonds. But you have 390 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: to put an asterisk around the steroid era. You know, 391 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we don't acknowledge them. I'm not trying 392 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: to be a judgmental and the hoolier than thou with 393 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: my attitude, but I do think we need to acknowledge 394 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: the elephant in the room that you know, these guys 395 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: probably were enhanced. They probably did use performance enhancing drugs. 396 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: Even though you know we don't have definitive proof, we 397 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: certainly know pretty well. You know the Barry Bonds did 398 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: and Mark McGuire did, So you have to put an 399 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: asterisk around that era. So who is the real one? 400 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: That's a great debate. That's what makes this so interesting 401 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: that Beanest A lot of people think it's right. Now 402 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: what Aaron Judge is doing is the real home run Chase? 403 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: And Aaron Judge himself, who grew up in the San 404 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: Francisco area, still credits Barry Bonds. He said, I was 405 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: a kid watching Barry Bonds flip them into the into 406 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: the into the Bay at San Francisco. So you know, 407 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: he considers Barry Bonds the real home run champs. So yeah, 408 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: that's that's what bakes. Baseball is so great. We can 409 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: debate these generational type things more than any other sport. Yeah, 410 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: but I didn't have to be on the mound facing 411 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: these guys. You did. But what's that like knowing that 412 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: that guy in my mind is using performance announcing drugs 413 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: and you have to pitch to it. It was the 414 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: lines were blurred back then in the nineties. I mean, 415 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: with the benefit of hindsight now I can look back 416 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: and say, hey, wait a minute, you know I want 417 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: my pitching numbers adjusted. I pitched a different era here, Wait, 418 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: I Eira was better than it really really was. Well, 419 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: that's why I look at what Pedro Martinez did, Coney, 420 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean Pedro was. I mean, that's in the American League, 421 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: in the steroid era, in the heart of it, and 422 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: Pedro is dealing. That's exactly right, that's you know, that's 423 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: this sort of you know, baseball, we have these advanced 424 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: metrics that have these adjusted stats OPS plus e ER 425 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: A plus that factors in the environment that you played 426 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: in the league averages. Well, you're right, Pedro Martinez could 427 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: be the greatest pitcher ever because of what he had 428 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: to deal with in that era. And Aaron Judge could 429 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: be having the greatest season ever because he's played in 430 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: an integrated era. He's playing in an era that the 431 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, we do test for steroids. He's playing in 432 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: an era where offense is down across the board. He's 433 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: got twenty more home runs than the next guy. He's 434 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: completely lapped the field. But that's what I don't David, 435 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: is in today's analytics, everybody's trying to hit home runs. 436 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: You're throwing as hard as you can, and I'm swinging 437 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: as hard as I can. Why are home runs down? Why? 438 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: I think partly is the baseball. Major League Baseball has 439 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: talked about changing the baseball. They're certainly, you know, Major 440 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: League Baseball owns rawlings who makes the baseballs. They're on 441 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: record as saying they're trying to make the baseball more uniform. 442 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: The theory among pitchers in the Major leagues. Is that 443 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: there's two different baseballs. There's one that flies and there's 444 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: one that dies. This year, they're using the one that 445 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: dies more, is what they say. So in Major League 446 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: Baseball is on record. This isn't this isn't me breaking 447 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: any new news. That they're trying to make the baseball 448 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: travel less why to get more action into the game. 449 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: I think they I think they're trying to have a 450 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: uniform baseball that gets away from exactly what you're saying, 451 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: where it's just a home run game. We want more contact, 452 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: we want more action. That's why the rules are changing 453 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: next year with the pitch clock. YadA, YadA, YadA. That 454 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: that's that's the theory behind a lot of these changes. 455 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: I wonder if pitchers pitched the bonds when he hit 456 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: seventy three, if he would have hit a hundred home 457 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: runs that year. Dude, it's a valid question, Dan, really is, 458 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: because you look at that how many times? Yeah? I 459 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: think what two hundred times he was walked that year 460 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: or at least yeah, and yeah one eighty and a 461 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: lot of those were intentional, A lot were unintentional. Fuck show, 462 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: Walter walked up with the bases bloved in one game. 463 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when they go four four, we'll 464 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: suck up that run and you go take first base. 465 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: That's how ridiculous it became with Bonds. Oh my god, 466 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: did you face Bonds in that era? I faced him 467 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: when he was in Pittsburgh when I was on in 468 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: the National League. So and then we in nineteen ninety two, 469 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: both for free agents, and he went to San Francisco. 470 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: I went to Kansas City. So that was kind of 471 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: the last time I saw him was his Pittsburgh days, 472 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: the first six years of his career. I wonder about 473 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned Judge growing up in the Bay Area. He 474 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: turned down the deal with the Yankees, but didn't even 475 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: counter that offer I think by the Yankees. How much 476 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: concern do you think there is with the Yankees that 477 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: maybe Aaron Judge does want to play someplace else, Maybe 478 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: he does want to play in San Francisco. We just 479 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Aaron Judge has played this so 480 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: close to the vest. You know, Dan, we were in 481 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: Boston recently and somebody asked him about Boston and he said, oh, 482 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: what great fans. You know, Boston was a great place 483 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: to play. I mean, it's like he has the script 484 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: and he's playing the poker and nobody can read him. 485 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: He has no tells. We don't know what he really thinks. 486 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,239 Speaker 1: We don't know how important his home is to him, 487 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: where he grew up. We don't even know if the 488 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: Giants are going to be in play, even though we 489 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: think they might be, if they're going to spend that 490 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: kind of money. So yeah, I mean, he's got one 491 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: shot at this. Aaron Judge is thirty years old. He's 492 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: got one shot at being a free agent and actually 493 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: finding out what other offers will be. And I think 494 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: he's so close. That's what he wants to get to. 495 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: He wants to find out is there another owner out there? 496 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: Is there a couple of owners out there that are 497 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: going to really push the system. And that's the only 498 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: true way you can find out what your mark of 499 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: value is. But I wonder about that. Pooholes was thirty 500 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: one when the Cardinals let him go. They got a 501 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career from Pooholes, and it was the 502 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: right decision. Judge is going to be thirty one starting 503 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: this next season? Would you sign him to a ten 504 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: year deal? Well? Yeah, you know that. Here is here's 505 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: where the rubber beats the road. The reason there are 506 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: ten year deals out there is because the owners themselves 507 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: want to spread out those costs because of the luxury tax. 508 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: They could theoretically pay Aaron Judge what he's worth. What 509 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: is the top of the payroll right now Max Scherzer 510 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: makes in the mid forties. Okay, give Aaron Judge a 511 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: six year deal then for fifty million a year, rather 512 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: than try to do the ten year deal for thirty 513 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: five or forty million a year. It's the owners who 514 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: want to spread out those calls us and avoid the 515 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: luxury tax. So you know, it's hard to blame the 516 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: players for that. It's hard to say, well, we can't 517 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: give them ten years because it'll be thirty eight. Well, 518 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: you don't have to. You can pay him top dollars ago, 519 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: a way above and beyond for five years and pay 520 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 1: him more than anybody else in the history of the 521 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: game because he's doing something else that nobody else in 522 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: the history of the game is doing this year. So 523 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: he certainly proved his worth. We're talking to David Khne. 524 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: He is announcer for the Yankees on the S Network 525 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: and of course a former Great Pitcher World Series Champ. 526 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: Why didn't the Yankees bunt on Kurt Schilling in Game six? 527 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: You know, four come, I heard you say that before, 528 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: and it is so good that you say that, And 529 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: it's brought back the memories to me of watching that 530 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: series and thinking the same exact damn thing. You know, 531 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: It's like you had to test him, didn't you. I mean, certainly, 532 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: it's it shows you, Dan that people don't know how 533 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: to bunt anymore. It's a lost start. Probably the best 534 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: of the last best great bunner I saw was Brett Butler, 535 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: the great leadoff hitter for the Dodgers and the Braves. 536 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: At one point he could do it with the best 537 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: of them. Wait till the last a minute, diskuys that 538 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: laid down a bunt. Guys just don't know how to 539 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: bunt anymore for the last twenty years. Really, Oh my god. 540 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: You faced gwyn a few times, right, yes, many times? 541 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: What's that I remember talking aboutics? He said, You know, 542 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: I got to the point where I didn't know how 543 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: to what to throw to him because it felt like 544 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: he knew whatever I was throwing I was gonna be 545 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: around the plate, he was going to do something with it. 546 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: Like they don't have batting eyes like that, and you 547 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: don't get paid to hit for you know, three sixty 548 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: three seventy. I mean, do you think we're ever getting 549 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: back to that where you know you got bogs and 550 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: you know crew in each yirow and these guys Brett 551 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: that it meant something to bat that high because the 552 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: analytics and you know they're not going to favor you 553 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to making money. Yeah, I think you're 554 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: it's you're dead on once again. You know. The ironic 555 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: part is theo Epstein, who is one of the most 556 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: progressive thinkers in the last twenty years, is now out 557 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: of baseball and on the management side trying to sort 558 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: of disassemble everything he created and create new rules to 559 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: kind of get more action in the game. Exactly to 560 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: the heart of the matter of what you're talking about. 561 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: We need more contact, we need more action, We need 562 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: more base running, we need more doubles and triples, we 563 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: need something to happen sooner in baseball games. There's four 564 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: minutes between a ball putting a play now compared to 565 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: two minutes a thirty years ago. So you know, that's 566 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: really what's going on in Major League Baseball now. Trying 567 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: to address exactly what you're talking about, Tony Gwen was unreal. 568 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: You know, the joke among pitchers was, you know what 569 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: you have to do to him? Just throw it down 570 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: the middle, because he doesn't know what to do with 571 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: the pitch down the middle. You throw it in, he 572 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: hits a line drive to right, you throw it away. 573 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: It's a line drive to left. So just throw it 574 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: down the middle of the first pitch and see see 575 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: if he confuses himself. Are the Dodgers an old time 576 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: great teams? They have a chance to be. They have 577 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: a chance to be the greatest team in Dodgers history. 578 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: And then also to get into the argument of all 579 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: time greatest teams, we don't know how many games are 580 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna end up winning if they get to the one 581 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: ten to one twenty area one hundred and we had 582 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen in nineteen ninety eight, and we 583 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: closed the deal and won the World Series. A couple 584 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: of years later, the Seattle Mariners won one hundred and 585 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: sixteen games in the regular season each e rose first year, 586 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: but they didn't close the deal, and nobody talks about that. 587 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: So yes, if they close the deal, they have their 588 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: signature moment. They're kind of in the middle of a 589 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: little dynasty right now, the Dodgers, and this could be 590 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: their nineteen ninety eight Yankees year, the one that really 591 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: is their signature point in time, the great one of 592 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: the greatest teams in franchise history. I think the Dodgers 593 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: could easily do that. They're having a signature year not 594 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: only in the history of baseball, but for that organization. 595 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: It's the Dodgers going back to Brooklyn. This could be 596 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: the greatest Dodgers team of all time if they can 597 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: close it out. Where are your World Series rings? I 598 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: have been storage. Actually, you know, I'm afraid to break 599 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: them out. I'm gonna leave it in a hotel room 600 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: one night. You know. I'm a little bit of an 601 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: airhead that way. You know. I attend to forget things 602 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: and leave things that's sitting on hotel rooms, you know, 603 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: and on the bedstand. But you've got five of them, 604 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: don't you do. I have five of them. I have 605 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: one with the Blue Jays and ninety two, which they 606 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: just you know, it was the thirty year anniversary up 607 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 1: in Toronto for that one. So that's the beauty of 608 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: these things. And That's what I told Dave Roberts recently, 609 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: the manager of the Dodgers. I said, do you understand 610 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: what you're what's going on here? To you? To your point, Dan, 611 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: you understand you know? Do you realize that? And He's going, no, 612 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to win tonight. And I said, well, 613 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna appreciate it later. You know that you've got 614 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: your hands around the throat of maybe one of the 615 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: greatest seasons of all time, and it's going to mean 616 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: a lot to you on down the road twenty years 617 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: from now. You're going to be really much more appreciative 618 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: of what's happening right now. And he said, you know, 619 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: you're right. I need to learn and stop and stop 620 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: and smell the roses. But there's so much anxiety and 621 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: trying to win today. Stay in the moment, win tonight 622 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: and close the deal and don't blow it. You know 623 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: that most most players are filled with that kind of anxiety, 624 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: certainly managers as well. You've got a pitch that you still, 625 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: God could wake wake you up in the middle of 626 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: the night, like there's something that you did and you 627 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: want that pitch back. Yeah, there's a few of them. 628 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,719 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey Junior hit a couple of up deck rockets 629 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: off of me game game five. What's that sound five 630 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five? What's that sound like? Three at night? 631 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: What's it sound like when when you give up a 632 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: home run of that magnitude? Oh, it's you know, that's 633 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: what wakes me up as a sound. Jim Tomy hit 634 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: an upper deck rocket grand slam off of me in 635 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: game six of the playoffs in the LCS one year 636 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: a Yankee Stadium, and the sound was it was scary. 637 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: I flinched on the mound. It was so loud it 638 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: was like a gun shot, like only Jim Tomy could 639 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: hit them. And the old Yankee Stadium and the true 640 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: upper deck shots that were majestic halfway up. So, yeah, 641 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: that's the sound I remember off of Jim Tomy's bad 642 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: I got. Maddox told me it sound like a car 643 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: crash whenever he and he always wanted to give up 644 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: a home run that went really, really far. He said, 645 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: I hated if it just squeaked over the wall, if 646 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: you hit it three sixteen, that made me mad. If 647 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: you hit a bomb, okay, give me the ball, let 648 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: me go, let me get it. Not that Maddox gave up, 649 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, not many homeworks. Is he the best picture 650 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: of all time? It feels like Maddox is underrated. It 651 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: feels like Maddox is underrated. David absolutely the best combination 652 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: of movement and control that I've ever seen. The best 653 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: craftsman of all time. You know a guy who was 654 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: what a you weigh one hundred and sixty five pounds. 655 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, he's up there on the mound, never missed 656 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: a start, never even had probably a sore arm, and 657 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: it took the ball over seven hundred games started in 658 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: the big leagues. Better as long as he pitched, just 659 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: flipping little sinkers on the black out there and just 660 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: change up slower than slow and just messing with hitters 661 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: and laughing and smirking on the mound. You bet you 662 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: he was the best craftsman of all time. Okay, I'm 663 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: gonna you're the manager Game seven. Any picture you want, 664 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: you can't pick you And you were eight and three 665 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: I think in your career in the post scene. So 666 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: who are you sending out there in the last fifty years? 667 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: Who's pitching Game seven for you? Randy Johnson? Because I 668 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: think he just neutralizes left handed batters so much left 669 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: handed batters. Remember John Kruc turning around hitting right handed 670 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: against him in the All Star Game. Paul O'Neil for 671 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: the Yankees wanted no part of Randy Johnson. So I 672 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 1: think just that in and of itself, that if you're 673 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: a left handed batter in any lineup, and most great 674 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: lineups have pretty good left handed batters generally speaking, Randy 675 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: Johnson just owns those guys, so you can take that 676 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: part out of the equation. He threw one hundred miles 677 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: an hour plus with a slider that was a razor blade, 678 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: buzz stall slidder. I'm taking Randy Johnson great to mention. 679 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: He six eleven on the mound and kind kind of 680 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: ugly too. He's kind of scary looking, though. Did you 681 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: face him? I never faced him. I mean I was 682 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 1: in the American League, so I never got the bat 683 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: against him. I certainly faced him and watched him mow 684 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: through our lineups, you know, and that Old Kingdom too. 685 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: The lighting was a good kind of fuzzy in the Kingdom. 686 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: That was the first time, you know, here there's a 687 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: term called fuzz. You're throwing fuzz. Randy Johnson threw fuzz. 688 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: The Paul looked like it had fuzz coming off. It 689 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: was blurry because he threw so hard. I love Vick. 690 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: Randy Johnson. Yeah, throwing fuzz, that means you're throwing pretty hard. Yes, blurry, 691 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: but I don't did you throw fuzz? Nah? Not like 692 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: Randy Johnson. No. I was born. I was known for spin, 693 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: you know, spinning it, dropping down, changing arm angles. I 694 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: tried to be like Louie Ti Hunt. You know. I 695 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: was twelve years old in nineteen seventy five in the 696 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: World Series and I fell in love with Louie Tan 697 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: pitching for the Red Sox at Fenway Park. And I 698 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: was out in the backyard after that after every game 699 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: playing whiffleball, trying to be Louis Tiant. So that that 700 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: was my guy. How I tried to be like Louie. 701 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: Good to talk to you again, David, thanks for joining 702 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 1: us and enjoyed the ride there this season mine players, 703 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: your Dan always good to be on with you.

Yeah, Paul, he 707 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: may be in the underrated category. He won twenty games 708 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: at age twenty five.

Well, what's sixty two 753 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: gonna go for? If Judge hits that? So Hill Join 754 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: is coming up top of the arm phone calls as well. 755 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: The next group eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 756 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: That list came out. Some of the top names. Joe Thomas, 757 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: six time All Pro I'm wondering Joe didn't play in 758 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: a playoff game in his entire career. He I don't think, so, 759 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: you're correct, has a first Has there ever been a 760 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer who never later in a 761 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: playoff game? First ballot, first ballot? I think Joe Thomas 762 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: will be a first ballot Hall of Fame Give me 763 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: one minute, okay, Darryll Reeves, Darrell Reeves. I should say, 764 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, when I mentioned Darrell Reeves Paul Goes, he 765 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: might be overrated. I went, oh, okay, I'm going to 766 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: retract that off air statement. I don't like the way 767 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,799 Speaker 1: his career went as far as jumping team. I wish now. 768 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: Of course, he went for the money, which is fine. 769 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: It is a good business. He's as good a businessman 770 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: who's played in the NFL. He sure is. But like 771 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: jumping from team to team, I think kind of keeps 772 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: him out of the all time great category. He was 773 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: great with the Jets, that's the tough sledding there. He 774 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: went and picked up a ring with the Patriots. Was 775 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: All Pro that year. So he did the job. He 776 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: was a great player. But sometimes it was funny. You'd 777 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: watch games and the nasciters talked about, well, they haven't 778 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: thrown Darrell Rivers his way in three quarters, so the 779 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: better he wasn't his job unless you saw him play. Yeah, 780 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney's on there. Chris Johnson, he had sixth straight 781 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: one thousand yards seasons. He rushed for two thousand six 782 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: yards in two thousand nine. James Harrison, two time All Pro, 783 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: two time Super Bowl Champ, Camp Chancellor Seattle, Shane Leckler, 784 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: the six time All Pro. You know, Shane Leckler might 785 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: get in the Hall of Fame. One of the great punters. 786 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: He was m I think he was on the All 787 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: two thousands and then the All twenty tens team. I 788 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: think it's the punter. I don't know. I thankfully I 789 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: don't vote on this, but did we find out? Has 790 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: there ever been a first ballot Hall of Famer who 791 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: never played in a playoff games? There have been three, 792 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: and they're all the end of their career is definitely 793 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: before in nineteen seventy five, So between sixty and seventy 794 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: five first ballot Hall of Famers who never played a 795 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: playoff game. Now there's less playoff games as well. Yeah, 796 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: I'll bet you could guess Dan Dick Butkus that's correct, 797 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:07,479 Speaker 1: and his teammate Gail says, says correct. Okay, there's one 798 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 1: more check where he played. Um, I was gonna say 799 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: Larry Wilson of the Cardinal entire career. I was gonna 800 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: say Lem Barney and I go, No, let me go 801 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: with Larry Wilson defensive? What was he number eight for 802 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: their Cardinals? You're just saying that. I assume you're right. Uh, 803 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: Terry in Pennsylvania, Hey, Terry, what's on your mind? ADP? 804 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: How are you today? Great? Terry? Hey, so you could 805 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: talk to Darren vol about this. But as far as 806 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: giving the home run balls back with with one like 807 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: number sixty, I wouldn't play hardball unintended Fritzie with them 808 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: too much about it because the authenticator at the state 809 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: can threaten to not authenticate it. So once you walk 810 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: out of the building with it and it's not authenticated, 811 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,280 Speaker 1: you're risking that it's going to lose value. Well, number sixty. 812 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: With number sixty two, you know they're definitely gonna want 813 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: that back, so you have a little bit more room 814 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: to play. But with something like number sixty, I think 815 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: that you might want to not take your chances and 816 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: just you know, get whatever they offer to you.
