Phillies Astro's, Yankees, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.920 Dodgers win Astros in dramatic fashion, Phillies hold on, the 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.240 Yankees survive and the Dodge look good early. Philly's at 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.520 the Braves Padres at the Dodgers. That's on the agenda. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.280 Draymond Green gets fined, but no suspension. The NFL quiet 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.640 on Davante Adams and any forthcoming punishment there, whether it 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:19.280 be a suspension or a fine, seatan pull question today. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.200 We can start right there Dan Draymond Green's air quotes. 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:29.120 Punishment was fair or non existent. We'll get into that 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.360 coming up in a moment. Do you have a baseball 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.000 one today? I do? Yeah. Watching the Astros win in 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:40.840 walk off fashion last night made you feel good or yucky? Oh? Yucky? Yucky? 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.160 Yuck is the word I'm using. Yucky. I'm not rooting 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:50.000 against the Astros, but I'm rooting for the Mariners. Does 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.360 that make sense? Purfect sense? Yeah, because I you know, 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.160 if the Astros are a great team, did they cheat? Yes? 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:03.520 They did. They paid the price for it. And I 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.639 think it's still they wear the scarlet letter. Yeah, they 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.520 don't actually wear it, no, no, no, no, yeah. Um. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.840 If they did, it might have a like a wire 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:19.160 attached to it or something there, like a buzzer or something. Um. Now, 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.919 I think I think they have as as much as 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.440 you could possibly label them cheaters and and I don't 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:31.320 know if people hate them now you might root against them, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.000 But there was vitriol a couple of years ago, and 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.920 then with the pandemic, people didn't get a chance to 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.320 air out their grievances or anger. But watching them that's 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.440 still that's still a good team. Man. I did not 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.040 know this. Did you know that? Something happened in that 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.880 game that I don't think it's ever happened in the 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.040 history of baseball. So the Astros have this great come 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.800 from behind win against the Mariners. The last four batter 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:05.240 to face, Justin Verlander hit in order a home run, 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.040 a triple, a double, and a single. That's the first 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:16.800 team to hit a reverse cycle in baseball's postseason history. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.760 Past stad of the Day, stat of the day. Yeah, 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:27.840 comes that, what st I had never heard of a 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.440 reverse cycle and we had one last night. Who knew? 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:37.039 Who knew? That is so weird? Yeah, a reverse cycle? Yeah, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.080 reverse cycle would be like watching Barry Bond's career from 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:46.279 the finish to the start San Francisco back to reverse cycling. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.880 Sorry apologies, Yeah, okay. If you have no dog in 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.480 the fight, you have to root for the Mariners, right 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.039 I think? So, it's you know, it's been a long over, 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.880 you know, twenty years since they've been in the postseason. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:04.480 Sneak key, fun team and a young team, young nucleus there, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.400 and maybe they got something going on, but it's hard 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.520 to root for the Astros. But it's I think it's 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.000 easy to root for the Mariners. It's hard to root 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.520 for the Phillies. You know. It's hard to root for 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.000 the Yankees and the Dodgers for that or the Braves 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.200 for that matter. So if you're looking for, hey, here's 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:29.440 that underdog story, it would be the Mariners. Well, I 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.039 think you you watch the Phillies and you go, oh yeah, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.839 Bryce Harper is still there at three hits last night, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.040 But I you know, can you root for the Padres? 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.440 I mean, they're not a small market team. They spent money, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.039 but watching them against the Dodgers, who did spend a 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.479 lot of money there, Yeah, PAULI, Why does Bryce Harper 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.360 of the Phillies, which I shockingly have to say, feel 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.560 like a much less famous player than he used to be. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.760 He's still got good numbers, just not superstar numbers. Is 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.320 that it? Or is it because he's in with the Phillies. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.600 Well that's a big market. Yeah, But I like what's 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.320 he done? Where you go, oh my god? And that's 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.280 what you need. Those moments, I think, where you go, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.960 oh my god, did you see that? How many of 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.760 those moments do you have? I mean, Mike Trout, how many. 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.839 Oh my god, did you see that? I think he 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.320 had a run this year what he homer in seven 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:28.560 consecutive games. But you got guys who did things, and 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.520 Harper's coming off an MVP season. But it just doesn't 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:38.599 feel like all right, like we've seen it with Bryce Harper. Now, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.880 there's not there's nothing new that happens where you go, man, incredible, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.280 and he's got those numbers that you probably just plug in. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.840 Plus you know, at the time when he signed his contract, 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.840 I thought, you know, that's going to be a bargain eventually, 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.799 and it will be. Bryce Harper will be a bargain, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.280 you know, like Patrick Mahomes will be a bar for 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.480 the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah. Does he feel like an 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.280 old twenty nine Yeah, he does. Feels like he's like 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.280 thirty four. Yeah, but he's been on the cover of 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.320 Sports Illustrated when he's sixteen, so he's been famous for 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.440 twelve years. And he did live up to the hype. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.160 Like when you think about it being on the cover 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.880 Sports Illustrated, but two time MVP, he lived up to 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.000 the hype. Ish, I think he lived up to the hype. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.160 He's going to be a Hall of Famer. Whoa, You 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.840 don't think Bryce Harper is going to be a Hall 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.680 of Famer. His career average is an average season for 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.200 Bryce Harper. A normal season, he hits two eighty with 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.200 thirty three homers. He's gonna be a Hall of Famer. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.600 Should he be a Hall of Fame? Well, I don't 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.200 vote on it, and I'm far more lenient getting people 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.680 into the Hall of Fame. He's had more average years 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.200 than great years. That's called longevity, Paul, Yeah, yeah, google it. Yeah, 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.360 as long as he doesn't have any cloud of controversy 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.560 attached to him, I think he's gonna be a Hall 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.920 of Famer. Yeah, how many two times I'm MVPs. Maybe 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.480 it's more common than I think that aren't in the 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:08.480 Hall of Fame. Well, maybe we could get that information. Yes, Mark, 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.559 I know one for sure, Wine Gonzalez. Yeah, but one 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.280 had a guilt by association with the players that he 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.520 played with. You guys say, two time MVPs. You're right, 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.080 but Bryce Harper doesn't have any you know, cloud of 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.480 controversy attached to him. Yeah, Paul, I just look at 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.560 Bryce Harper. I'll have an MVP season, then I'll hit 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.120 two forty three with twenty four homers. Yeah, and he'll 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.920 had two sixty with thirty homers. He has a bunch 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:38.480 of average seasons and about four really good seasons. It's 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.080 a mishmash from a year to year. Well, maybe we 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.080 can ask Bob Costas, who was on the call for 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.880 the Yankees game last night. He'll join his coming up 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.480 next hour. He's back, Yes, yes, he is. You know, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.760 when Bob, Bob shows up in an event, and I 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.040 was fortunate to work with him at NBC, whether the 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.000 Olympics or Football Night in America, when Bob shows up, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.559 it gives some gravitas. It's a bigger event because Bob 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.079 is there, and hearing him call baseball last night was great. 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.720 In case you're wondering, first game of the divisional round 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.679 always brings some overreactions, but when you look at it, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:18.120 the overreactions makes sense. Historically, teams that take game one 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.000 in the best of five series have gone on to 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:25.680 win the matchup seventy one percent of the time. So 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.959 history is not on the side of those who lost yesterday. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.600 But you know, you got to keep in mind the 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.400 Braves defending champs. Mariners came into October as one of 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.920 the hotter teams. Guardians got a talented roster, good pitching staff, 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:42.160 great manager, and the Padres do have a lot of 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.960 star power there. So no matter how well these teams 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.920 did during the regular season, history is not on their 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.240 side when it comes to the nationally divisional series. But 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.040 it's hard to count any of them out, even though 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.480 the teams that win Game one historically have gone on 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.880 to win seventy one percent of the time. Yes, Morph, 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.800 sorry to go back to your MVP discussion. Yeah, there 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.000 are tons. Roger maris also two time Hall of Famer, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.040 not in ok but there are just tons of just 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.280 guys who had just one great year. Terry Pendleton got 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.439 an MVP award. No, I'm talking about two MVPs. Okay, 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.280 then it's just one Gonzalez and Roger Meyers. So that's it. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:30.720 So it is he a better player than Roger Morris? Yes, um, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.600 one Gonzalez you know as an asterisk by his stats. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.400 So Bryce Harper is kind of standing alone there with 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.439 two time MVP and he's not even thirty. I think 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.160 he's gonna be I think he's gonna be a Hall 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.720 of Famer. Yes, Ton, did we get caught up? Also 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.640 in like they have a unique look and the facial 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.040 hair and the headman and things like that. Three sometimes 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.959 get caught up in sports with someone that kind of 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.360 stands out because they look beyond their numbers. Yeah I 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.920 think so, yeah, yes, soon And it is the like 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.040 not to take it too literally, but the Hall of Fame, right, 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.360 And he was earlier this morning we were talking about 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.319 how is the face of baseball for ten years? Yeah, 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.280 you know, famous, the Hall of Famous star power. Yeah, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:17.439 he's got that. Oh let's see what else did I have? Um? 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.400 Up until yesterday? The Astros oh for forty eight in 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.640 their postseason history when trailing by more than one run 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.480 after eight innings. It was pretty dramatic. And of course, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:33.640 uh front runner Fritzie's got his Astros gear on today. Yeah, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.520 Fritzie had tuned into the Astros to find out who's 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.560 on the team. Oh that guy, where's Dicky Vaughan? I 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:45.320 don't get it? Yeah, yeah, great, once again a mid eighties. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:52.200 Let's turn into a Syracuse presser. I don't know where 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:59.760 little Jim Jim Bahnd, where's Glenn Davis? That's after a 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:05.040 way And can you imagine when when Jim Beheim goes 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.320 out with his now wife and they're on a date 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.240 and then you know, they start talking and then she 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.600 might say something where he disagrees and then crossed the table. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:20.320 Candle light, dinner going chicken parmesan. Oh, I think this 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:26.760 wine is really great, mister Behemo, you like to hear 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.319 the specials. That's got to be tough with the way 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:36.440 to Oh, how was it? How was it? What is that? 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.000 How do we get there? That's great? I don't know, 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.640 I don't know. For some reason you started doing that 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.920 when Todd was talking about the astronas, sounded like Jim 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:55.439 behem is that where his girlfriend goes? Oh my gosh. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.840 He's a great conversationalist, really yeah, but he doesn't have 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:06.319 to weird tick where he goes.

Not a Hall of Famer. Yeah, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.760 I'm just wondering that it feels like Bryce Harper's going 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.680 to the Hall of Fame. When it's all said and done, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.840 Paul has a quick game here for me. All right, 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.120 you're ready, Yeah, Okay, you gotta pick one to go 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.400 to the Hall of Fame. First eleven seasons in the 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.920 Big player won two MVPs on two different teams, so 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.600 one on each. Seven time All Star seasons with thirty 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.160 five or more homers thrice in the top ten for 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:44.440 MVP voting twice. It sounds like Bryce Harper's Bryce Harper. Okay, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.040 player too, two MVPs on the same team and he 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.360 did it back to back. That'd be Dale Murphy. Seven 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.640 time All Star. The name is Bryce Harper, same MVPs 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.880 seasons with thirty five or more homers five to Bryce 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.080 Harper's three in top ten for MVU MVP voting five 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.640 times to Bryce Harper twice. That's Dale Murphy. Yeah, and 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.880 nobody talks about him. They did, Murph. Murph was right 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.800 on the edge. I think, what did he end up 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.400 with three hundred ninety eight home runs? Yes, yeah, I 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.600 think having four hundred, As strange as that may sound like, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.960 having that rounded off number sounds more impressive, even though 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.440 it's only two more home runs. Murph was close and 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.000 he started as a catcher and then became a very 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.080 good center fielder. And he played for the Braves. They 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.280 were America's team. You could see them all the time, 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.400 but you didn't see Murph in the postseason. That's part 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.800 of the problem as well. Bryce Harper has done it 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.720 now on the big stage, and he's also won two 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.520 World Series titles. That's important as well, being the leader 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.160 of two teams that won the World Series. Yes, bo, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:50.960 you was unfair to a guy like Dale Murphy the 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.760 Braves from eighty to eighty seven, he was considered one 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.520 of the best players in baseball. What are the guys 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.680 you don't want to face? Yeah, like that Mike Schmidt 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.840 type guy. But from you know, the last seven years 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.000 of his career he was pedestrian. But guys like Griffy 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:05.560 go to the Hall of Fame. Other guys will go 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.040 to the Hall of Fame where there second half of 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.399 their career wasn't that good. If he would have gotten injured, 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:14.119 we'd given the benefit of the doubt. Maybe, But Griffy's 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.200 numbers were bigger. He did it in a more flamboyant way, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.320 dramatic way. Now I didn't have postseason success either, but 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.879 you know, Junior's numbers are a lot better than Murph, 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.720 and Murph didn't say much. He's one of the nicest 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.720 people I've ever met in sports. And then he went 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.440 to the Phillies and then kind of faded off after that. 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.960 How many I'm surprised Griffy had one MVP? Correct, Yeah, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.200 at age twenty seven he had one MVP. He finished 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:49.720 top five four times. Okay, yeah, well last the last constance. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.160 If he thinks Bryce Harper is headed towards These guys 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.080 don't like to make those statements where they go, yeah, 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:56.560 he's a Hall of Famer. They don't like to do 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:02.000 what I just did. But two MVPs. These are the 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.280 guys who aren't in the Hall of Fame. So Roger 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.280 Maris had two, Dale Murphy had two, Bonds had seven, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.680 a Rod three one, Gonzalez two. Albert Pooh holds three 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.840 m vps. He's going to the Hall of Fame. Trout's 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.639 going to the Hall of Fame with three, Miguel Cabrera 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:20.880 going to the Hall of Fame with two, and then 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.200 there's Bryce Harper, So it's pretty good company there for him. 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.520 And you know you got the steroid issue with Bonds 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:34.040 one Gone and a Rod Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke, 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:39.159 what's on your mind today? Morning? Morning, Luke. Hey, I 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.119 wanted to have a short conversation. I've been wanting to 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.439 have this for a while because I know you talk 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.920 a lot about the Astros. So I'm a grand student 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.320 and so I always thinking questions and a thesis. So 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.440 a question that I have and then a thesis why 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.320 is why why did the Astros have like sole possession 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.840 of the cheating Moniker? When the Red Sox won a 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.360 World Series one year after doing the same thing with 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.479 a manager from the Astros. It's always kind of confused me. 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.760 I mean, I think you're choosing that they're the face 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.000 of it. They were the first, and you're right. The 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.760 Red Sox, I thought, got out of this pretty much unscathed. 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.320 But but the Astros are, they're the face of this, 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.399 and they did it in such a dramatic, flamboyant in 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:28.120 your face way. So we have the audio of them 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:32.080 banging garbage cans. You know, the Red Sox were cheating, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.679 but were they cheating with their Apple watches? Were they 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:39.040 cheating with you know, surveillance cameras, Like we're not quite sure. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.640 I'm not even quite sure. But you know the Astros, 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.960 it's like, oh, that's the team that bangs the drums 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.560 slowly here. Yeah, seed. That's kind of the way that 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.080 we look at things though, Like the Yankees are the 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.960 poster organization of overspending, and it's like, hey, they spent 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.639 a billion dollars and only have two rings. You know 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.520 who spent like the third most money over that years 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.000 the Cubs, and they did nothing, absolutely nothing. They had 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.320 the like third highest payroll in baseball and they were 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.160 terrible for years and years and years and years and years. Yes, boy, 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.480 like we always says, if you if you cheat too 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.600 well and get caught, that's where you get from trouble. 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.520 The Astros, if you believe they started cheating in seventeen 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.600 and according to the report, it's seventeen to nineteen, those 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.200 three year windows when they were really doing it. According 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.320 to the report, They went from a team that was 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:27.680 in third place that won eighty four games to winning 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.560 one hundred one, one hundred and three and one hundred 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.520 and seven games. They were very very good for that 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.360 three year run, and they were enhanced. Yeah. See, that's 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.880 part of the problem. Like if Bonds just stopped at 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:42.200 like sixty four home runs or fifty five or something 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.639 like that, then I don't know if we would have that. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.440 You know, he broke the record. Now we want to 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:52.680 go after you and broke Kank Aaron's record. He broke 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.520 McGuire's right he Oh, that guy's the biggest cheater. Yeah. 0:20:57.040 --> 0:20:59.479 It's like all those intentional walks were actually doing him 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.280 a favor because he would have had one hundred and 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:06.480 fifty two home runs. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the sprinter 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.600 Ben Johnson of Canada when you smoke Carl Lewis at 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.520 the Olympics by a lot in a short race, then 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.600 everyone's like, what's going on here? You did it too 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:20.120 well well. Also, when your eyes are yellow from from jaundice, 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.040 like the urine is backing up in your system, that's 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.840 also you know, when you start to look like the terminator. 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:32.760 Uh yeah, he did it too well. Uh, one of 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.520 my favorite stories that we've been covering, the Draymond Green 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.240 Jordan Pool incident here and now I guess it's it's 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.880 all done. That they're gonna find Draymond Green. I don't 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.119 know how much, but he's not going to be suspended. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:47.840 He'll be there for Opening night against the Lakers. He'll 0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:52.040 be there ring ceremony. But Steve Kerr had a press 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.960 conference and he explained why Draymond was not suspended for 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.840 the punch that dropped Jordan Pool. You know, we have 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:05.240 situation is totally different. We don't look at everything in 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.480 a vacuum and said all right, well now we did 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:10.600 that here, we got to do that there. We would 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.720 hope that we've developed enough equity, you know, with the 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:18.960 experience we have with our fan base, with the people 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.280 watching over the last decade, that people can trust us 0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:24.840 that we've We've really put a lot of thought into 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.639 this decision. As I said, we feel like this is 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:32.359 the best way for us to move forward. Okay, I 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.880 don't know what the big decision was. You send him 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.800 home and you find him. I would have Draymond right 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.600 at check to Jordan Pool and say, hey, I got 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:49.560 to find a hundred grand here you go. But here's 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:52.879 Steve Kerr on just how big this issue was with 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.760 Draymond Green Jordan Pool. You know, we've got a lot 0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.720 of continuity on this team, So Bob and I know 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:02.080 our players extremely well, and we feel like this is 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.119 the best way, after assessing everything, for us to move forward. 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.480 It's never easy no matter what decision you make in 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.920 a situation like this, it's not going to be perfect. 0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:16.880 This is the biggest crisis that we've ever had since 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.880 I've been coach. Here. It's really serious stuff. Okay, Um, 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:29.040 Draymond got suspended for an incident with Kevin Durant when 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:33.920 they were teammates. Gets fined in a situation like that, 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:40.160 So yeah, I guess because it happened during a game 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.600 that Draymond and Kevin Durant had a moment there and 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:48.560 then they suspended him. But should he be suspended? Does 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:52.879 the NBA get involved in this? And the answer is no, Yeah, 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:54.639 do you sit him down for a game? Does he 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:58.720 miss the ring ceremony? It is Jordan Pool okay with this? 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.520 He has to be okay with this. What happens when 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:08.640 those two start to jaw next time or Draymond gets 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:12.240 into it with another teammate, do you then worry because 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.440 is he going to drop him? And Kenny Smith, who 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.280 works on TNT, he said, oh, this happens all the time. 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.159
