The 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.679 Astro's apology tour got off to a bumpy starred yesterday 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.800 in Florida. We spent a large portion of the show 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.560 on that, mainly because we were absolutely stunned that they 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.920 had this much time to prepare for that day and 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.040 failed miserably, Starting with the owner, Jim Crane. He contradicted 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.080 himself all over the place. Then the team trots out 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.120 Jose L Tuva and Alex Bregman. They were on the 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.000 dais for ninety seconds. Then the players in the clubhouse. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.360 You know, they probably did a little bit better. Carlos 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.280 Correa did a pretty good job, but there's no easy 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.400 way out. The Astros were caught in a big way. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.040 Although their owners said we didn't cheat, we just broke 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.960 some rules. The best strategy would have been just admitted 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.840 move on. The players tried to do that. Some did 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.360 and sound a little more respectful than others. But the 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.040 general rule in sports has always been, in my forty 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.200 years of doing this, the cover up is often worse 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.880 than the crime. Now, the crime's pretty bad here, the 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.359 cover up is catching up with the crime. The team's 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.359 indirect responses caused even more doubt. There's a lot of speculation. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.119 They did more than we know, and I believe that 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.720 that's the case because they don't get around to saying 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.760 we didn't use buzzers. We just they said, well, the 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:29.640 commissioner didn't find anything there. You know, that's the goal 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.400 for them, not to find anything. Hey, we were really 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.079 obvious in how we were cheating with the garbage can. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.560 We were really sneaky with the buzzers. I still go 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.400 back to that Jose Altuve video when you just won 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.280 the American League Championship Series. You just homered off Araldi's 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.839 Chapman and you're rounding third, heading for home and you're 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:57.639 covering up. Hey, don't rip my jersey. My wife doesn't 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:04.600 want me half naked on TV. Meanwhile, the Instagram photos 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.600 where he's got his shirt off of the beach. He 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.440 doesn't feel like he's too embarrassed to do that, but hey, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.280 don't rip off the jersey. No, don't do Then you 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.760 just hit one of the biggest home runs in baseball history. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:23.799 You're grabbing your uniform. Everybody knows apparently what's with that uniform. Hey, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.200 don't rip that off. Don't rip that off. Then he 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.040 goes into the clubhouse and changes into a T shirt. Okay, 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.400 what a coincidence there. The Astros hope that this was 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.800 the beginning of the end of that scandal. After yesterday, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.400 I think it's pretty clear the drama is far from 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.360 over now. He had some players who had some things 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.400 to say. Garrett Cole, he's the now Yankee star pitcher, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.720 he was with the Astros, and he had this to 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:58.680 say yesterday. I haven't gotten any vibes like that. I mean, certainly, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.680 you know, these are my teammates, so we're on many 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.040 conversations along the way, and if that happens to be 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.680 one of them, I mean, I'll just give him an 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.040 honest answer, which is, you know, I had no idea 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.320 of any of it going on, and I didn't see 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.720 any of it, and and so um, I don't certainly 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.600 really don't think I have much to apologize for. So Okay, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.240 so he didn't know what was going on, which is possible, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:32.440 but his fellow star pitcher, Justin Verlander did. Yeah, I mean, 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.320 it's been difficult showing up and in twenty seventeen. And 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.080 you know, once I spent some time there, I understood 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.560 what was what was happening. I wish I had said more. 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.920 You know, looking back, I can't go I can't go back. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.520 I can't reverse my decision. You know, Like I said, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.920 I wish I had said more and I didn't, and 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.120 for that, I'm sorry. Yeah, but he's also a guy 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.400 who's called out other teams for cheating and never shot 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.880 away from that. I was just disappointed it took this 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.640 amount of time and that's all you got from the 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:04.000 ast I mean, they didn't really apologize to Baseball. I 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.640 mean they're using semantics here. Hey, we broke rules, we 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:12.200 didn't cheat. I'm gonna guess if you check the definition, 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.800 if you break the rules, they feel like you're cheating. 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.039 But you know, the astros, if they think this is 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:23.400 going away, not going away. I was just perplexed that 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.760 this is what they gave us. Having this much time 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.160 and you have crisis management teams who will come in 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.520 and say, hey, this is not I don't know if 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.159 they use this, but if you're going to have a 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.200 lawyer who's preparing his client, you go over what are 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.480 the questions that can be asking how are we going 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.640 to answer them? That's just simple. And you had weeks 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.760 to do this, months to do this, and that's what 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.160 you gave us. Jim Crane, the owner, should have just 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.880 read a statement. I mean, I gave me great radio 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.560 content yesterday for a couple of hours. But it was 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.640 sad to see that really was And then he's saying, hey, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.440 it didn't have an impact, and then he follows up 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.680 by saying I never said that, and then he doubles 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.919 down on that, and it just that was poorly, poorly planned. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.120 But there'll be there'll be more information that comes out 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.080 here just didn't going away. It's just it's not because 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.000 now you have baseball, you have fan bases, the media 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.600 that didn't get answers yesterday, in fact gave us more questions. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.560 And do I have questions about the buzzer? I do, 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.840 because nobody said I mean, and maybe I'm wrong here, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.840 but it feels like nobody comes out and says he 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:45.240 absolutely positively weren't using buzzers. It's the Commissioner's office or 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:50.520 Baseball did not find any evidence. Yeah, do you think 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.920 Commissioner man Fred is sitting there today wishing he had 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.560 punished more or punished differently the Astros organization, maybe the 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.719 players themselves, instead of doing a deal with the MLBP 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.359 based off what he saw the past few days. He 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.440 should have waited like they're waiting for the Red Sox. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.640 We're waiting for that punishment. And from what we've been told, 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.360 the Red Sox did far less than what the Astros did. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.000 I would have vetted this even more. Now he might say, Look, 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.280 we talked all the players, we gave them immunity, we 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.560 looked through all the emails. Now, all of a sudden, 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.560 the Wall Street Journal comes out and says, hey, the 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:28.400 GM who got fired knew about this. Codebreakers. They had 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.840 a system in place there like these are. It feels 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.280 like there's more that's going to come out now, because 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.400 those players who aren't on the Astros, who are on 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:43.080 other teams might find religion and say some more things here, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.679 or they might leak something to somebody that hey, you 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.960 guys should check into this. It's not over. Did the 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.720 Astros make things worse or way worse? That's a poll 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:04.280 question from McLevin. They made it way worse, they did, 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:12.200 they did, and I think Baseball, you know, Baseball doesn't 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.239 want to find this out. I mean, keep that in mind. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.600 The commissioner is hired by the owners. Jim Crane is 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.080 one of his bosses like you, you don't want this 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.720 to be bad. But if you look back on this, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.120 you had a picture Mike Fires, who was a former 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.719 picture with the Astros. He's the one that started this 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.600 aptly named fires as he lights the match to this 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.640 and tells Kenny Rosenthal and then all of a sudden, 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.360 this explodes. It just feels like now and I always 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.400 go back to tiger Woods. Nobody said anything publicly about 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.200 tiger Woods until everybody started talking about Tiger Woods and 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.680 then it was open season, Like you just wait and 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.240 you go, wait, did he did he say that? What 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.880 did he say? Oh? He did okay, and then somebody 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.280 says something because now they feel like, hey, I'm allowed 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.760 too because somebody else did. It feels like that's what's 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.679 happening with the Astros. You're going to get some players 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.040 who are going to say some other things. And I 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.480 think the fact that they didn't really take ownership of this, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.920 I mean, I just remorse, and I once again I 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.880 go back to Carlos Korea. I thought he did a 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.280 pretty good job. It felt like he was a little 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:28.160 more open Mike Night. And that's why we're not taking 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.640 away your title and less if the buzzers were actually used. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.240 Then I think the commissioner can go back and say, guys, 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.720 I tried to help you out here, but you lied 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.560 to me. Now I'm taking away your title. Yeah, but 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.080 is that because you think using the buzzers is so 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.920 much worse or more that it's a mulligan for the 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.880 commissioner to be like, I probably didn't do this right 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.400 the first time, but now I get a second chance 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.160 to do it. Well, if you lied to him, he 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.160 gave you a total immunity. But if you lied to him, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.280 now he's embarrassed. Now he's gotta go. I'm sorry, guys, 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.160 I'm gonna hit you hard here, got you. I mean, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.240 that's how Roger Goodell works. If you lie to him 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.600 and then he finds out, then he comes back and 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.719 then he's really gonna bang you. Yeah, and usually it's 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.839 new evidence if you remember, and I know there's a 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.640 complete apples and oranges. But Ray Rice was completely punished 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.440 for the incident that happened in the hotel. But before 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.560 they had video, and then he had gone to a 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.160 diversion program, he had served as punshment as fine all 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.360 that stuff, But then when the video from TMZ came out, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.680 They repunished him and suspended him for the season because 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.120 Roger Goodal said, we have new evidence and that opens 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.040 it up. This program, brought to you by True Car. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.640 Car shoppers can save an average of over thirty five 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.960 hundred dollars off the MSRP. See what other people paid 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.520 for the vehicle you want with the new True Car, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.800 buy smarter, drive happier. What kind of poll question you 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.840 gotta go with? McLevin, So you kind of asked the question, 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.079 but do you think MLB has really discovered Everything we 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.839 asked was yes or no? No? What do you think 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.640 of public thinks? I not right with you? No, that 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.880 seems like a problem for baseball. Oh it is, because 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.680 you know, you want to know what you're watching is real, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.720 and then you have an owner who says it didn't 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.920 impact the games, and then you have him saying we 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:22.480 didn't cheat, we broke a rule. He can't do anything 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.839 to Jim Crane, but because he's his boss, I mean 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.960 he can. But I mean, I don't know if Jim 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:34.040 Crane earned a suspension yesterday with those comments. But if 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.720 I'm the commissioner, man, I can't be happy with what 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.440 I heard yesterday, and you know, poor Dusty Baker, they 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.120 trod him up there because you know everybody loves Dusty. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.760 And you know, after Bregman and al Twove said what 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.040 they said, and then all of a sudden, Jim Crane 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.640 of all people should have read a statement, not you know, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.560 taking questions, because these reporters are all of a sudden, 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.240 you know, they smell blood boom, They're going wait, wait, wait, Jim, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.760 you said that they didn't impact the game. I never 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.120 said that. Yeah you did. You didn't say that. So 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.360 if if I'm looking at from top down with these 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.440 with the team, I start with Jim Crane, there's my problem. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.720 And then a GM who if you said it didn't 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.880 impact games, why did you fire your your manager? They 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:27.520 could have just been suspended lu Now and Hinge could 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.320 have kept their jobs. Right. If I'm those guys, I say, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.480 wait a minute, here, was I wrongfully terminated? If this 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.280 didn't impact the games, then why am I fired? Here? Yeah? Point? 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.439 What was interesting I was watching MLB Network yesterday and 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.319 all the local beat reporters for different teams were going 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.840 to spring training and asking other hitters and other teams, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.800 how can you say that getting the signs ahead of time. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.080 Knowing the pitch ahead of time does not help. And 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.439 you can see these batters like, ah, I don't know 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:58.880 if I could roll with that man if I knew 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.360 the signs, Oh my god, I could have Imagine what 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.559 I would do in the batters box. I just think 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.840 there's more there. Yeah. Another polk question, is there any 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.800 team you want to go see a game more than 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.480 the Astros? I I'll tell you right, I would love 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.880 to go see that. Does everybody banging stuff and going nuts? 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.720 It's like a Duke acc game? Yes? Yeah, over under 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.319 on hit By Pictures this year to the Astros. Well. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.720 I was told this yesterday by source that the Commissioner 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:32.240 is already keeps ready to warn all of these teams too, 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.559 like he's issuing a warning before any games are playing. 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.400 Like he's telling both sides, Hey, you know what, We're 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.280 gonna run you if somebody's throwing, we think you're throwing, 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.559 because this is gonna happen. If you're one of these 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.240 pictures who got roughed up by the Astros and you 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.520 get to face them again and they have showed very 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:57.520 little remorse, you're probably gonna have some shots to the 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.960 backside there or in the ribs or at least buzz 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.120 the tower. Yeah. I know this is a negative for 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.120 baseball now, but if baseball could somehow get Yankees Astros 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:11.480 in the Alcs and Astros Dodgers in the World Series, 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.679 that would be perfection, perfection. I don't think there's a 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.160 better combo this year. Is it a negative though? This is? 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.400 I mean there's way baseball would be on the agenda today, 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.480 just like the play gate kept the NFL and the 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.200 headlines for two years. I know, but I go back 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.080 to when people say any publicity is good, publicity is 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.760 usually the person who is not involved in the situation. 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.640 This has been good for the Astros. Now you might say, well, 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.560 we're talking baseball, but we're not talking positively about baseball. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.680 But we all want to watch the Astros. We all 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.920 want to go to Astro's games. Because long is that 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.560 going to dissipate? I mean, hey, we're gonna watch one game. 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.080 Or they don't play the Yankees till September, they'll definitely 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.760 be the number one road Attendants team. I mean there's 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.880 probably by far I would think less the Yankees. But 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.440 what are you showing up to see? You show it 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.000 up to make fun of them, and like whether people 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.040 used to make fun of jaj Raddick at basketball games, 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.120 Like it's gonna be like that kind of fun creative way. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.240 There's minor league teams are already doing things all over 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.000 the place, hanging on many trash cans, and I you know, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.560 this sympathy tour that the Yankees are on, that could 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.320 end too, all right. You guys had Brian McCann and 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.600 Carlos Veltron on your team, and you probably employed a 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.600 couple of steroid users down down through the years. So 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.640 let's stop with that. Oh woe is me? All right, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.880 you lost, But you know, I can also look at 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.040 this and say, how many times did the Astros pitching 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.080 staff shut you down that had nothing to do with 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.440 stealing suns? If I just look at did you hit 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:52.240 against the Astros pitchers, because that's a fair question to ask. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.760 This isn't just they beat you, you know, fifteen to nine, 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.880 because they knew all the pitchers that were coming. How 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.120 many times did you not do anything against their pitching staff? 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.640 And I don't know what the Yankees hit against the 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.640 Astros or what the Dodgers hit against the Astros, but 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.560 I'm guessing that pitching staff was pretty good and that 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.680 didn't have anything to do with what pitches they were stealing. Yes, time, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.720 I'm curious with Major League BABA on freedom or speech 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.480 with whatever signs are gonna be coming for the road 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.160 games for the Astros. Is that something major League Baseball 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.440 would like or dislike. We're on one hand they would 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.720 like it because it's really sets the message that's what 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.560 you get for cheating, or it's just gonna keep perpetuating something. 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.880 They want to go away seeing these signs all year 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.320 for after road games. Oh well, they can go in 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.480 and take out a sign if they think it's inappropriate. Yeah, 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.960 I checked most MLB places. They don't let you bring 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.200 in anything bigger than like a placard. You know, you 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.120 can't bring in it like it's not college game day 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.240 to a banner. No, you're you're not gonna bring in 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.960 something four feet by four feet. You're gonna have to 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.200 get creative to bring that in. All right, we'll take 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:52.800 a break here, we'll come up with the poll question. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.040 Phone calls are always welcome eight seven to seven three 0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.000 DP show did the Astros make things worse or way worse? 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:05.640 Also Miles Garrett sits down with ESPN's Minakimes and is 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.200 not budging off what Mason Rudolph said to him during 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.320 that game with the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Will 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.520 play a portion of that interview coming up, and you 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.280 can be the judge.

NBA All Star Weekend Festivities. 0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.920 Pascal Siakam The Raptors Forward. What is the Spicy p 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:06.560 McLevin Spicy Spicy Hill Join us coming up a little 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.960 bit later on eight seven seven three D P Show 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.760 Email address dp at Downpatrick dot Com. Zion did it again. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.560 Had another impressive performance here, and I thought that John 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.920 Morant would be your runaway Rookie of the Year even 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.880 if Zion came back. But we looked at the fewest 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.679 games a rookie has played and won the award, not 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.200 a strike shortened season or a lockout. I think Patrick 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.960 Ewing played fifty games his rookie season, and I think 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.800 that's the fewest games a rookie has ever played to 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.240 win the Rookie of the Year honors. Zion scored thirty 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:47.280 two last night. That comes after scoring thirty one in 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.879 his previous game. He's the fourth teenager in NBA history 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.760 to record consecutive thirty point games. The only players younger 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.280 were Lebron James and Devin Booker. And if you look 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.160 at his shot chart, where he started four for four 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.520 from three point range, he hasn't made one since. But 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.480 you look at his shot chart and it's just one 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.760 big look like ink spot right by the basket. That's it. 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.679 That's his game. It's inside and it's just power. But 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:23.719 a pretty impressive, pretty impressive performance there. Yes, mclovin, how 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.080 do you cover him? You stay off him or do 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:30.920 you crowd him or well, he's great in transition. Yeah, 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.960 it feels like he can get ten points every night 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:38.720 just on transitional place. But he invites contact, so he's 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.960 going to go into you. It's sort of like James 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.639 Harden invites contact. Zion does that, but he does it inside. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.160 And it feels like if I can if I provide 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.639 the contact, if I initiate, then I can move you 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.359 where I want to move you, as opposed to the 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.840 other way around. Yeah, mcclub. And it's like Jannis if 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.359 you give him a five yard cushion and he's coming 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.840 at you like a freight train and can't stop him. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.119 Zion Williamson has one hundred and forty eight points in 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.479 the paint this season. That's the most through a player's 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.520 first ten games in his career. Over the last twenty years, 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.000 he's averaging fifteen points in the paint. That's the third 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.439 highest in the NBA. Now. Granted that's not what the 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:21.520 NBA is nowadays, but Zion Williamson is taking advantage of 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:26.639 the position now or the position lists center. You know, 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.639 he's going inside and he's not afraid to go inside 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.400 against these players play McLevin before the show was saying 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.439 that Zion's having one of the best, if not the 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:35.520 best rookie season of all time. But you almost have 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.919 to put a line around two thousand. The one and 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.960 done era started then, because all the rookies before two 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.040 thousand were guys who played two or three or four 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.040 years in college like Steve Francis, Ben's, Carter, Tim Duncan, 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.600 Allen Iverson, Kid Webber, Shack, et cetera, et cetera. They 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.160 played at least two years. Then after two thousand, most 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.200 of the rookies of the year are one and done 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.040 guys or from high school. So there's two different eras. 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:01.239 So McLevin, you think that Zion this well is one 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.040 of the great starts. I was actually thinking since Lebron, 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:06.840 but let kind of probably has a point. Lebron's numbers 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.840 aren't that great as a rookie, but he was only eighteen. 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.440 But let's he like Shack was twenty three point four 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.360 points a game as a rookie and he was twenty 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.120 so like, yeah, those guys are good. But even those 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.639 guys numbers, they're not like a fishing like like Zion 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.800 can't miss a shot. It's weird. Those guys that are 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.320 a little a little slower, But then again, you know, 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:29.120 Zion's halfway through the season. We'll see how he does 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.159 if he kick up. Well, he's got over two hundred 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.399 points through ten career games, and over the last thirty years, 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:39.440 you got only one or No. Two on former number 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.359 one overall picks Alan Iverson and Shaq who were able 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.600 to do that through their first ten games. So he's 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.800 in some pretty lofty company there, and it's been very 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.159 impressive because he doesn't have a signature move and he 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:57.480 doesn't have a knockdown jump shot. He's a little tentative 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.000 with taking that jumper, but until somebody is abled, and 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.720 that's what's going to be hard. I would double team 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.560 him every time he gets the ball, Like I would 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.800 just have two guys go or have some help and 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.240 just go after the ball, like just try to get 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.560 him to pick up his dribble and pass it. Because 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.760 Lonzo Ball's man is normally trying to double team Zion, 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.760 and if I'm a team trying to shut him down, 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.040 I got a double team him in making pick up 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.359 his dribble and hopefully he passes the ball. Yeah, mclub 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.040 Allis just said there's so many good players on that team. 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:35.280
