13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: front of a sellout crowd. We'll tell you how he

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: did and uh yeah, okay, US Men's national team okay,

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: and other oops. We're gonna get to that later. We've

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: got a fabulous midnight hour with two provocative topics the

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 2: callers have and sensational fifty eight minutes from now from

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: where I sit, it will be twelve midnight literally figuratively

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: from where you hit it. Possibly, but you get the picture.

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: The midnight hour has been a sensation since the beginning

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: of the year thanks to the great callers. But we begin,

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: we begin with let's talk about a real star being

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: born right in front of our eyes. It's been quite

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: a twenty four hours for Paul Skeens. Actually, it's been

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: quite a year since he threw one hundred and twenty

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: five pitches against Wake Forest last year in the College

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: World Series championship game in the best of three series

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: Saturday Night. My buddy, my good buddy, longtime buddy, Larry Sorenson,

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: tenure major league pitcher who retired nine guys in the

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: All Star Game, knows a thing or two about the

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: All Star Game, and oh, by the way, oh by

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: the way, easy for me to say. Larry was also

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: on the call Wake Forest play by play when Paul

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Skeins beat wake Forest last year to win the champions

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: He's got you know, he's got a unique he's uniquely

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: qualified to talk about these two things. Look, Paul Schemes

37
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: regularly threw one hundred pitchers or more at LSU in

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Now, since then, the Pirates have been

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: much less aggressive with him. He never threw more than

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: seventy five pitches in any of his triple A outings.

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: His season high this year one hundred and seven, in

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: which he achieved in his lashed outing prior to Thursday

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: against the Mets on July fifth. And I guess you

44
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: can sort of have to stick up for Pittsburgh Pirates

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: manager Derek Shelton. You can say he was in a

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: bad spot. Yes, Schemes was totally dominating the Brewers, but

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: the Pirates have so much invested in Paul Skeens and

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: this is the world we're in right now. On the

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: other hand, Skemes he does have ample experience throwing him

50
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: well over one hundred pitches and games, although it's been

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: a year since he did so regularly, and Derek Shelton

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: acknowledging he's someone unpopular already among Pirates fans. So we

53
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: don't know if it was the right decision in this

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: day and age. I guess you could say it is,

55
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: But it's twice now, it's twice where Paul Skeens was

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: about to make history possibly and got pulled in the

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: seventh inning. You get the picture. He had another chance

58
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: at history, but his manager prevented it. So after seven

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: innings of completely dismantling the Brewers. He'd only throw a

60
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: ninety nine pitches. He was pulled prior to the eighth inning,

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: after a six pitch seventh inning, and right on schedule.

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: Immediately after leaving the game the Pirate's reliever and the

63
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: score was one nothing at the time. They put it

64
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: in a reliever name Colin holderhim and he swing. He

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: gave up a single to Jake Bowers and that that did?

66
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: You know? That did in the no hitter as it were,

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: but right on point there, you know. Derek Shelton, the

68
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh manager, defended his decision to opt for a reliever

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: instead of using skins. This has got people in an uproar.

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 2: They've had enough. This is show business. We don't have

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: royalty in our country. Our athletes and our entertainers are

72
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: our royalty. Seeing a no hitter is something very special

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. And we can talk about protecting

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: pitchers and pitch counts, but in this day and age

75
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: where velocity is at such a premium, these guys are

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: going through all kinds of gyrations to throw as hard

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: as they possibly can. I mean, Skeens had a nine

78
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: pitch inning a while back. Three strikeouts, nine pitches, every

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: pitch clocked it over one hundred miles an hour. Yeah,

80
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: true story. So what did Derek Shelton say? He said

81
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: he was tired. Didn't have anything to do with pitchcount.

82
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting him.

84
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: Shelton also went on to say that he thought that

85
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Skien stuff was declining by the sixth inning, although that

86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: doesn't really jive with the fact that the sixth inning

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: in the seventh inning schemes look particularly dominant. Of course,

88
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: in this day and age of social media, fans are

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: calling this joke. Fans are calling Derek Shelton a joke,

90
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: and in of course, other Major leaguers are, you know,

91
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: defending Derek Shelton. We're just in weird times when it

92
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: comes to this, the way that Bjor League Baseball is

93
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: managed right now. Nonetheless, at least Pitchburg won the game

94
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: one to nothing, but Skeens stole the show and it

95
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: hasn't gone unnoticed. So what would happen? The All Star

96
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: Game is Tuesday. The All Star Game is a showcase,

97
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: and you know, many people think all All Star Games

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: have jumped the ship. You saw what you see what's

99
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: happened with the damn Pro Bowl in the NFL, complete abortion.

100
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: You know, the NBA All Star Game not much better

101
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: than the NHL All Star Game is okay, but you know,

102
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: seventeen to fifteen baseball sort of the last batch, and

103
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: they actually play defense, and you can actually have highlight

104
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: plays on defense. You're not going to have Pete Rose

105
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: running into Ray Fosse, Google at knuckleheads, pick up a book,

106
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: but you are gonna have some competition and some pride.

107
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: The winner gets home field advantage in the World Series.

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: So you look at Paul Skeen's first half numbers. After

109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: a seven inning, no hit, eleven strikeout GEM on Thursday,

110
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: He's throwing sixty six innings, only allowed forty eight hits,

111
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: and he struck out eighty nine eighty nine Big leaguers

112
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: in his first ever sixty six innings pitch. He's only

113
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: walk thirteen guys. He's the IRA is one point nine,

114
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: his average fastball velocity ninety nine point one is average.

115
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: He is the best pitcher in Major League Baseball. He's

116
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: perhaps trending toward Cy Young this morning. As I said,

117
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: It's been a very eventful twenty four hours for Paul Skeens,

118
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: and good for him. He's a good guy in the room.

119
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: Southern California guy went to Eltoral High School, ended up

120
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: at Air Force. You know, he was a bit away

121
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: from what his ceiling was projected to be. Ended up

122
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: at LSU. You know what happened next. So while Paul

123
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: Schemes was making an appearance this morning on the Dan

124
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: Patrick showed to talk about how his season was going

125
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: and talk about the game against the Brewers the day before.

126
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: Another Celver Californian, former UCLA and Detroit Tiger, Tory Lavulo,

127
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: who happened to be the manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks

128
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: when they went to the World Series last year. Hence

129
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: the national All Star manager in the All Star Game,

130
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: which would be played Tuesday, picked up the phone, dropped

131
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: a dime, and called in to inform Paul Schimes that

132
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: he'd been named starter for this year's Major League Baseball

133
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: All Star Game. Through to forum, Skemes kept a calm

134
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: demeanor about the situation. Seemed just another day, just another

135
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: notch in the belt. But I don't know if the

136
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: full gravity, the full weight of the moment is not

137
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: hit him yet. He'll be the first rookie pitcher to

138
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: start the All Star Game in twenty nine years last

139
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: I go to do it, of course at Dale Noble

140
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety five, oh nothing, seven years before

141
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens was born. Actually becomes only the fifth rookie

142
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: to ever start in the All Star Game. Pretty good company,

143
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: fernandove Alnzuela, Mark Fedrich, all right right on down the line.

144
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: So the bottom line is the accolades just keep piling effort. Skiings.

145
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: He's only in his third month of his rookie year.

146
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: A star is born, and I hope baseball is smart

147
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: enough to promote him. Again. We don't have royalty in

148
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: this country. Our athletes that are entertainers, they are a royalty.

149
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: And you can't tell me now with schemes toying the

150
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 2: rubber Tuesday Night in Texas, you know who's gonna face

151
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna predict. I think it'll be Aaron Judge leading off,

152
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: and then Juan Soto and then Gunner Henderson. That's just

153
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: my prediction. Those are the three he'll face. He'll just

154
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: pitch one inning. It's not like it used to be.

155
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if he takes the mom in the

156
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: second inning. But tell me you're not gonna want to

157
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: watch that. Tell me you're not going to anticipate something

158
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: exciting happening. And juxtaposed that against what happens in the

159
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl and the NHL All Star Game and the

160
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Game. No, this is actually going to

161
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: be fun. And thanks to a columnists ninety one years

162
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: ago in nineteen thirty three by the name of Arch

163
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: Ward of the Chicago Sometimes who wrote an op ed

164
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 2: p saying, you know, we've got the World's fare coming

165
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: to Chicago. Wouldn't it be great to have an exhibition

166
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: game between the American League and the National League ALF Stars.

167
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: There was no such thing then, and I don't know

168
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: what they were saying on Twitter back then, but I'm

169
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: sure there was someone probably pissed off about it, probably Lebron.

170
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is this. It worked, and this

171
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: has become the Midsummer show Case Classic. And now this

172
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: rejuvenated the buzz for what has become a tired game

173
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: and what has become a tired event. I think the

174
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: home run derby has jumped the shark. But now we've

175
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: got something to look forward to. It's been quite a

176
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hours for Paul Skeins, and yes, he's very

177
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: well deserving. Coming up, we're bringing Jared Lee Smith. You

178
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: hear him on Saturday mornings here on Fox Sports Radio.

179
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: We're sort of in that bridge period, meaning there are

180
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: secondary filler sports to bet. By the way, if you're

181
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: scoring at home, and hopefully you are, the Lakers were

182
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: eight point underdogs against the Houston Rockets tonight. The Rockets

183
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 2: were an easy winner, and if you look at the

184
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: rosters and look at the dynamic in the game, not

185
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: too dissimilar than what it used to be and what

186
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: it still is somewhat for NFL preseason games, you can

187
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: find edges based on information Rockets won by nineteen. But

188
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: not just that. We've got other things coming up, and

189
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: we've got some prop bets heading into which should be

190
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: a very interesting NFL season. It's Pontus by next week.

191
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: By this time, teams are going to be in camp,

192
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: so we'll bring in Jared to talk about the latest

193
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: of what's going on. And by the way, of the

194
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: seventy six Summer League games here in I guess yes,

195
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: you can bet on them. You can also bet on

196
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: the ops to faul Skins winning the Rookie of the Year,

197
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 2: very prohibitive now and whether or not he'll win the

198
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: cy Young But oh yeah, Caitlin Clark and injuries. You

199
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: didn't think I was gonna forget that, do you. We'll

200
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: get to that a little later in the show as well.

Speaker 2: The Bernie Frattle Show Fox Sports Radio. Coming to you

228
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: live from me tyrac dot com studios here in Las

229

Speaker 2: Vegas will take you up to two am Pacific, five

230
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: am Easterns. Welcome to a gentlemen. You hear them on

231
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: these airwaves every Saturday morning. An aficionado when it comes

232
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: to the world of sports betting and handicapping, Say hello

233
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: to Jared Smith. Good evening, Jared.

234
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 7: How are you, buddy, Bertie, Great to talk to you.

235
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: So we are in that filler period, as it were,

236
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: between you know, football and football, I guess, and that

237
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: will close the door pretty quickly here. But there are

238
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: always opportunities if you can get out ahead of the market.

239
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: And I'm sure you've been following the Paul Skeens movement

240
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks ago. If you thought he

241
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: if you were feeling saucy and thought, you know, he

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: might want a cy young A hundred dollars were to

243
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: bring you black about seven grand. Now it's shrunk dramatically.

244
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: Your thoughts and whether or not there's value still on

245
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: firing on Paul schemes to win the sign Award, Well,

246
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: I think.

247
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 8: Value is definitely relative in this scenario, because you might think, oh, yeah,

248
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 8: I wish I had one hundred and twenty five to one.

249
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 8: And I've seen some people, you know, I posted a

250
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 8: segment about this earlier today.

251
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 7: Obviously it's been the talk of not only the.

252
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 8: Sports betting world, but I would say it's been kind

253
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 8: of the talk of the baseball world the last couple

254
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 8: of days.

255
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 7: I mean, what this kid has done is Dwight Gooden esque.

256
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 8: I mean, I think in terms of a kid that's

257
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 8: just kind of burst onto the scene so quickly and

258
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 8: had such an impact. The irony is Sutcolf actually won

259
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 8: the sim that year, and it was a very interesting year.

260
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 8: That actually is kind of a case study year for

261
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 8: what's happening.

262
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 9: Now.

263
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 8: Here's the question, Bernie. The votership in nineteen eighty four,

264
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 8: I think is very different.

265
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 7: Now, we're a very different society. Today.

266
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 8: I know that the Baseball voters for the most parts

267
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 8: and older group, but I would assume nineteen eighty four

268
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 8: I wasn't even allied yet. I'm thirty eight years old,

269
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 8: so you know a lot of people that were voting

270
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 8: back then probably aren't voting now. And I think if

271
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 8: that year happened today, with social media and the hysteria,

272
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 8: that these stories kind of take on a life of

273
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 8: their own. I think Dwight Gooden probably wins the syon

274
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 8: that year. So do I think there's still value at

275
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 8: the number? Yeah, because I think if it keeps pitching well,

276
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 8: that number is going to keep coming down. Let's be honest,

277
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 8: We've watched the rest of Big Ball this year.

278
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 7: We know who everyone is. Like Zach Wheeler's having a

279
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 7: fantastic year, but he's.

280
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 8: Not pitched as well as Ball Schemes is right now.

281
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 8: The question is can Schemes maintain that level for another

282
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 8: two months? He probably needs to get at least one

283
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 8: hundred and thirty innings minimum to really be considered for

284
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 8: the award. He's at sixty six now, so he's gonna

285
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 8: have to have a really good second half and he's

286
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 8: gonna have to keep this yet at that high level.

287
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 8: But if he continues to pitch at this crazy, you know,

288
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 8: tulett Mania level, yes, the number will keep coming down.

289
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: Wasn't I'm glad you brought up Dwight Gooden because it

290
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: wasn't just Gooden. HEDEO Normal had the same kind of start.

291
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: Carrie Wood had the same kind of start. There's been

292
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: guys throughout history and most of them ended up winning

293
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. I think that ship is saled.

294
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: There's no value on that number. But I think you,

295
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, nine times back on your money. And I

296
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: think it raises an interesting question because everything's an eyeball test. Now,

297
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: if if Paul Schemes tows the rubber Tuesday Night and

298
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: and and gets out, let's let's say it's Aaron Judge,

299
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: Juan Soto and Gunnar Henderson won two three or strikes

300
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: them all outer strikes out one or two of the three.

301
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: I actually think that's gonna move the Sion Award odds.

302
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 7: Yes, yes they will.

303
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 8: I think these awards have become more popularity than anything else.

304
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 8: That's why to me, when we're handicapping them, I like

305
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 8: to try to get some information from the voters and actually,

306
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 8: MLB dot Com puts out straw poles and NBA does

307
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 8: this too. Tim Bontam's great reporter for ESPN, puts out

308
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 8: straw poles throughout the season where he pulls media members.

309
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 8: Some of them vote, some of them don't, So you

310
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 8: have to take that for what it is, but at

311
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 8: least it gives you some form of information of what

312
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 8: the voters are thinking about these players. I remember a

313
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 8: few years ago one of those straw poles really turned

314
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 8: me onto Joki finally being it was the first MVP

315
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 8: he won, and you could see the market really shift

316
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 8: based off of the straw poles and when they were released,

317
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 8: and you know, kind of the aftermask in baseball. It's

318
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 8: a little bit different, I think, because you know, just

319
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 8: be relative. But known to this kid, the number was

320
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 8: wrong preseason. I think if you would have told people

321
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 8: that he was going to get called up and he

322
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 8: was going to be pitching as well as he did

323
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 8: for the time that he was in I think he

324
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 8: would have been priced much differently going into the season.

325
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 8: They won't make that mistake again on all skins, I

326
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 8: promise you that. But now we're starting to reach the

327
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 8: point of peak where if you're buying it.

328
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 7: Four to one or three to one, or if.

329
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 8: This thing really gets low over the next couple of weeks,

330
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 8: if he does pit twelve at the All Star Game

331
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 8: next week, that's when I'd really start to probably hesitate,

332
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 8: because I don't think he deserves to be the favorite

333
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 8: with Wheeler and Sale right now. I think he's still

334
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 8: on the second tier. There's still a big gap there,

335
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 8: but that gap is shortening by the day.

336
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: Talking with Jared Smith, you hear him right on these

337
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: airwaves every Saturday morning, just spensing the same kind of

338
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: wisdom you're hearing right now, Jared. The Houston Rockets. Let's

339
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 2: jump to the NBA Summer League, which is now in

340
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, seventy six games over the next twelve days.

341
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: I covered this league ten of the twelve years. Twelve years.

342
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: I've kind of lost interest. Just watch it on TV now.

343
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: But here's where I'm going with that. The Houston Rockets

344
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: were eight point favorites Friday night against the Lakers, and

345
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: if you understand the rosters and the coaches and the philosophies,

346
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: I draw a parallel between NBA Summer League and National

347
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: Football League preseason. Houston won by nineteen tonight, how is

348
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: to handle these days on the NBA Summer League and

349
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 2: do you find value in these games or just a

350
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: pass for you.

351
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 8: I don't handicap the NBA as closely as others do,

352
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 8: so if they passed for me, especially because at this time,

353
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 8: I'm very much in the middle of baseball season and

354
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 8: I'm very much getting ready for football. NBA isn't acquired case.

355
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 8: I think just like baseball is. I think to me,

356
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 8: and I'm sure you have a lot of you know,

357
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 8: listeners out there that you know they listen and watch

358
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 8: consume sports year round.

359
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: But I appreciate your candor. I keep going, I really

360
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: appreciate your candor because you can't be a jack of

361
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 2: all trades in this business.

362
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 8: Go ahead, No, So I have a calendar, and I'm

363
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 8: a little nerdier than most people. I'm a big spreadsheet guy, Bernie.

364
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 8: I have a calendar of times when I pay attention

365
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 8: to certain sports, and once we get past the finals

366
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 8: for the NBA, I kind of shut it off, and

367
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 8: I turn it off until I would say, you know,

368
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 8: maybe even after the new year, because it's just the

369
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 8: way that my brain works. I need to fully pivot

370
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 8: to baseball and football. If I don't spend the entire

371
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 8: summer getting myself ready, especially in college football, which requires

372
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 8: significantly more prep than the NFL, I just don't have

373
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 8: the time. So I completely and I have people that

374
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 8: will give me bets for the summer league, and it

375
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 8: is a very intriguing landscape. I agree with your comparison

376
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 8: to the preseason.

377
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 7: You have to do your homework, you have to be.

378
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 8: An NBA guy or girl, and you have to love

379
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 8: the rosters and the weirdness that goes on, and you

380
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 8: have to really be into the beat reporters because you

381
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 8: might hear right before the game that this guy who was,

382
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 8: you know, a star, you know, second year guy who

383
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 8: they wanted to give a look to they got to

384
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 8: look to and practice.

385
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 7: And he's not even gonna play. So you just you

386
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: just have to.

387
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 8: Be very aware and very plugged into the news cycle

388
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 8: and very up to date on all the rosters. But

389
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 8: it is all of those things. The books aren't necessarily

390
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 8: keeping as.

391
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 7: Much sack on it as they are other things.

392
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: No, you look for the market inefficiencies. The Rockets started

393
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: two guys tonight that'll start for them next year, and

394
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: the Lakers said, you know, don't have anybody on the

395
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: Florida night that will start.

396
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 8: For them huge advantage for huge. It's really bad is

397
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 8: like a preseason.

398
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: You nailed it, my friend, all right, real quickly because

399
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: I am not a prop player, but I'm going to

400
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: you know, and it's against the law to practice psychology.

401
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: Was out of license when I'm gonna do it right here.

402
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: The big argument right now Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese. Yesterday,

403
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: Clark was minus eight hundred to win. Rookie Reese was

404
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: plus six hundred. I just took a look at that

405
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: and said, is it worth grabbing at six to one

406
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: because I think they might manipulate this thing to try

407
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: to find a way to have Reese win at eve

408
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: They don't, But those are those needle in a haystack.

409
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: But that's a hate. Do you have any thoughts on

410
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: Reece versus Clark? And if you don't, we're going to

411
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: move on to the NFL no I.

412
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 7: So here's my thoughts on it. I do think this

413
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 7: is a tough market to bet.

414
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 8: I think this because this market, there's no objectiveness in

415
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 8: this market.

416
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 7: I think that's right. The awards markets in general are

417
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 7: a different.

418
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 8: Handicapped than betting games and size and totals and etc.

419
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 8: You are handicapping. It's almost like politics. It's the closest

420
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 8: sports has to politics. Frankly, there is a votership involved,

421
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 8: and you have to understand who is voting and what

422
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 8: it means for the league, and how it's being framed

423
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 8: to the media. And this is a tricky one because

424
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 8: it's politically charged, and it's racially charged, and it's charged

425
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 8: in all ways, in all shapes and forms. And I

426
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 8: think because of that, Yeah, I could see it swinging

427
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 8: back and forth. I could see them, you know, injecting

428
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 8: life on one side or the other to make this.

429
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 8: They want this to be a rivalry. Kitlyn's been handling

430
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 8: it great. It seems like everyone wants, you know, there

431
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 8: to be dram except for Kitlyn.

432
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 7: I would just stay away from it. I mean, honestly,

433
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 7: unless you want to take a flyer on Angel, that's fine.

434
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 8: But to me, this is something I just you know,

435
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 8: politically and you know, organically speaking, it just feels like

436
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 8: something I don't want to get involved with.

437
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm staying away from it. It's just a talking

438
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: point because it's started to get into the ether. The

439
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: Star Game is next weekend. Last one for me. This

440
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 2: one's important. I know you're you know this as well

441
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 2: as anybody. Nineteen to the last twenty one years, one

442
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: of the NFL's eight divisional teams has gone from worst

443
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: to first. There are really a couple of excellent candidates

444
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: this year, the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm not buying the Bears,

445
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: not yet. Charge you might have to hold your nose obviously,

446
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: you know the Patriots and such. You can't do that.

447
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: But it's happened nineteen out of the last twenty one years.

448
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of years where there are two

449
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 2: teams that did it. Has anybody caught your eye in

450
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: terms of who you think is likely to go worse

451
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: to first and someone you might fire.

452
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 8: On, well, I mean that I don't think anyone will

453
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 8: repeat what the Texans did, lad.

454
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: I think you know, this kind of reminds.

455
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 8: Me of when TCU made the National Championship and everyone

456
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 8: the next year was trying to find the next TCU.

457
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 8: And it's just like that, those kinds of things are

458
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 8: very rare. Now, you're right, it does happen more here,

459
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 8: But it's just I think if you're I think if

460
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 8: you're seeking out a team just based on the trend,

461
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 8: I think you're kind of digging for gold, where I

462
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 8: think you just go through each team individually and you

463
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 8: try to find the right handicap, like if you want

464
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 8: to go to reach one like New England is a

465
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 8: hard pass for me. I think Cincinnati is the only

466
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 8: one that makes sense logically.

467
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: Tennessee, No, I don't.

468
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 8: See it, but I didn't see Houston last year, so

469
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 8: that division can get weird.

470
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 7: I don't see Kansas City not winning.

471
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 8: The division this year, especially with all the people with

472
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 8: the Chargers coaching staff. I mean that that just doesn't

473
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 8: seem like a year that I think they can win

474
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 8: the division. Maybe the NFC East, who knows. Maybe you know,

475
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 8: Jayden Daniels catches lightning in a bottle. They got something

476
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 8: there with Quinn and Kingsbury. That divisions had a new

477
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 8: winner like what like fifteen or twenty straight years the nfcast,

478
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 8: So you know, maybe it's not as simple as just Dallas.

479
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 8: I think it'll be Dallas, or actually, frankly, I.

480
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 7: Think it'll be I think Philly is a little bit

481
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 7: better than Dallas.

482
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 8: Yes, I like Detroit in the North I think they've

483
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 8: got the right mindset the South. I mean, listen, maybe

484
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 8: we get about you know, maybe bright Stum's not as

485
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 8: bad as everyone thinks. You know, that division is not exactly.

486
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 7: World beaters, you think Baker.

487
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: Great point, Jared, not to cut you off, which I

488
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: just did. Yeah, but they hired Dave Kanalis, who presided

489
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: over Russell Wilson in his best to Tico career. He

490
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: presided over Gino Smith, brought him back from the dead,

491
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: did an outstanding job with Baker Mayfield last year. So

492
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: I think that excellent nexus you make. And no, Bryce

493
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: Young is not as bad he was in a rough situation.

494
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: I think you can play. You got the last word.

495
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 8: She's not the worst quarterback in that division, right like

496
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 8: you got Carr and Baker and you know Bryce, Like

497
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 8: I think Bryce could be better than those two guys

498
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 8: at his peak, I hope. I think Cousins you would expect,

499
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: is the best quarterback in that division, but he's all

500
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 8: coming off of Achilles injury. So it's just that that

501
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 8: could be an interesting one.

502
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: Jared. Great stuff is always keep up the great work

503
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: and we'll get you on again. Before the NFL kicks

504
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 2: off in nine weeks.

505
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 7: I appreciate Bernie.

506
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: All right, thank you. That's Jared Smith. You hear him

507
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: Saturday mornings on this network. Does his homework, works hard,

508
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: and a good, good guy in the room. And he's honest.

509
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 2: He's honest. He's not trying to be a jack of

510
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: all trades. And you know, not one of these one

511
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: nine hundred numbers. All it's seventy six percent. Okay, those

512
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: guys are a diamond does and actually that's they're not

513
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: even worth that. All right, coming up, we'll talk about

514
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 2: Bronnie James, and we're going to set up our midnight

515
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,199

Speaker 2: I expect the same this evening. With first, let's go

518
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,080

00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 10: Atlantas won five of their last seven games. Padres have

523
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,000

Speaker 10: now just a game behind the Orioles for first place

530
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 10: in the Al East. If you had victories for the Cubs, Giants, Mets,

531
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 10: and the Dodgers, who got a home run from Freddie

532
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 10: Freeman as they defeated the Tigers in Detroit four to three.

533
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 10: In the WNBA, Kaitlin Clark twenty points, six rebounds and

534
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 10: thirteen assists for Indiana and a victory over Phoenix. He

535
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 10: also had victories for Seattle in Las Vegas and golf

536
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,560

00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 6: He's doing well, Bernie. Thanks for asking. He's doing well, doing.

541
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, beautiful, beautiful. He's uh, he got his nil deal

542
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: yet He's you working on that, still in progress.

543
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 6: Always working on He's doing the high knee drills, everything

544
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 6: right now. Trust Oh there you go, yeah.

545
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: There he get all right, Kevin, good stuff. So I

546
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: want to talk about Brownie James. He made his Las

547
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Vegas debut tonight. It was sold out at the Thomas

548
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: and Mack, and I think Brownie had a lot to

549
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: do with it. Although you had number one and number

550
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: two in the game after that, a couple of French

551
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: players who could really play Alexander sar And I'm not

552
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: going to try to pronounce the other guy's names. Sometimes

553
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: I get it right, sometimes I not so much. And

554
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: I'm also not gonna bash Bronnie for his stat line.

555
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: His stat line to me is inconsequential at this point

556
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: of his development. Yes he was three or fourteen, Yes

557
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: he was zero for eight behind the arc, and he's

558
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 2: just another dude on the floor. And let's be honest,

559
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: Bronnie James is in there with a bunch of guys

560
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: who are actually very accomplished college players have done a lot.

561
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: You saw what Reed Shepherd did. Look rather than take

562
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: roll call, you know, if you're only gonna if you're

563
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: only going to judge Brownie on the box score, it's

564
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: not going to be good, right. So what I want

565
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: to talk about is this, and this is one of

566
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: our midnight Hour topics. I said I would give it

567
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: a year before I passed judgment on Bronnie. Now I

568
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: have opinions. I got no problem if lebron wants to

569
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: play with his son, none. He's exercising his power, which

570
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: he's earned over twenty years. So that's the unwritten rule

571
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: of the NBA. If you're the all time league scorer,

572
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: you win four championships with three teams, and your management team,

573
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Rob Polinka and Genie Buss have a man crush on you,

574
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: and you put butts in seats, they're going to do

575
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: you solid, which they did all right. The question is

576
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: what do you really project Bronnie. Obviously they don't let

577
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 2: him bring the ball up the floor. I don't think

578
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: at this point in his career they see him as

579
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: a as a you know, as a distributor, right or

580
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: as a playmaker as it were. He kind of gets

581
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: back on offense and stands in the corner. So is

582
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: he is he projectable? Is he projectable? He's six foot one,

583
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: six foot two, Does that qualify him to be a

584
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: three and D. He does try and play hard on defense.

585
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: He does not have point guard skills and he does

586
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: not shoot like a shooting guard. So where do you

587
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: project him? All Right, It's not that his mechanics are bad.

588
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 2: He just can't shoot, not from what I've seen. He

589
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: might have shot well against Aaron the combine, but that

590
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything to me. That's Philadelphia fan about Mike

591
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: Mamula combines. You can have your combine. So let's fast

592
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: forward a year, and this is what I want to

593
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: hear from the peeps the top of the hour, nine

594
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: ninety six, eight seven seven nine nine six six three

595
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: sixty nine. We're gonna project out a year. What is

596
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: Bronnie James? Is he a modified NBA player, guy that

597
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: can come off the bench give you ten minutes, a

598
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: role player? What's his role? Is he a starter in

599
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: the NBA? Is he an NBA All Star? What is he?

600
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: Or is he just a charade side show? So we

601
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: could appease his father and it can be the first

602
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: father son combination. I don't know. I'm not gonna look

603
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: down the road a full year. I can only tell

604
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: you my opinions and what I see right now, he

605
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: does not appear to be projectable. But I'm gonna give

606
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: him the benefit of the doubt. But I want to

607
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: hear from you. I don't ask you to come on

608
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 2: the air and tell you what I think. I want

609
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: to hear what you think. What's the headline a year

610
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: from now on Brownie James in terms of his viability

611
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: and projectability as an NBA player coming out? We set

612
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: up our second topic. Yes, it's gonna have something to

613
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: do with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. You could probably

614
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: see that coming because it is in the headlines every

615
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: single day. I'm Bernie Fratto. We are comedy line from

00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie

619
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio. We are comedy live from

620
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: the Tirac dot Com studios here in Las Vegas. We

621
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: are fifteen minutes away from the top of the hour,

622
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: which means literally here in Las Vegas, from where I sit,

623
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: the twelve midnight midnight hour, it is twelve midnight, the

624
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: clock striking twelve midnight here in Las Vegas literally from

625
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: where you are listening. It might also be twelve midnight,

626
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: literally or figuratively. Either way, we'll take your calls. Eight seven, seven, nine,

627
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: ninety six sixty three six nine. Where do you project Brownie?

628
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: What is the headline? A year from ago? After his

629
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: first full year in the Lakers organization. I've already said

630
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: he doesn't appear to be a facilitator by the way

631
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: they're using him. Not sure that he is a point guard? Well,

632
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's not a point guard at this stage.

633
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: I doesn't choose well enough to be a number two.

634
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: Where does he end up? Okay, you tell me. I

635
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: do believe he'll get on the floor with Lebron and

636
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: they will make history, and I think it'll be a

637
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: nice moment. I do have nothing to do with helping

638
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: the Lakers win a championship, but it'll be a nice moment,

639
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: and I think Lebron wanted it, and I think the

640
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Lakers were right to allow it to happen. Let's talk

641
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 2: about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Both players have acclimated

642
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: to the professional game. Clearly, they hit their stride clearly.

643
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: Clark just got her first triple double Meanwhile, Angel Reese

644
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: has become a double double machine, even though they have

645
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: to follow with six seconds to go to keep that

646
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: streak going. But regardless, even before they did that, it

647
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: was quite a streak. Injuryes a damn good player, damn

648
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: good low post player, great court since, terrific rebounder. And

649
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: you know, Chicago Sky weren't that bad before she got there.

650
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: The Indiana Fever were not good. They only won thirteen

651
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: games all last year. They're going to clearly exceed that.

652
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: And Caitlin Clark is really having quite the rookie year.

653
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: They both are. It's coming, baby, it's coming. There's going

654
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: to be a vote for Rookie of the Year, and

655
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a whole swath of people that'll lose

656
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: their minds if their person doesn't win. So recently, a

657
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: fifteen person panel pulled by the Associated Press gave Clark

658
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: an edge of a Reese for Rookie of the Year.

659
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: And I don't know if team performance could become a

660
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: determining factor in the race, or if it should be

661
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: a determining factor in the race. But after starting got

662
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: zero to five Indiana, they've clawed their way up into

663
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: seventh place in the league. And I think they're seven

664
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: to four in their last eleven games. And Angel rees

665
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: check that Caitlin Clark has beating injuries head to head

666
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 2: twice and lost once. So we've got the Olympic Break

667
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: coming up. There's one last head to head game schedule

668
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: for late August. So we've got this race heating up,

669
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 2: this legitimate Rookie of the Year race for Angel Reese

670
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: and Caitlyn Clark. You get to vote, I want to know,

671
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: and I will have our guy, Ian Roddy. Of course

672
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: he'll take your calls. I'll have him also keep the

673
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: tally the callers to the midnight hour will vote who

674
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: should win the Rookie of the Year Angel Reese or

675
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark. And clearly you can make you can make

676
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: a good case for both of them. And I think

677
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: it's got to play out. I mean, what's going to

678
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: happen between now and then? You know, I believe there

679
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: are about another seventeen or eighteen games left. You've got

680
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: the Olympic break. Might one of the teams make the

681
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: playoffs and the other one not? Might they both make

682
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: the player You don't look, the bottom line is this,

683
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: I think Jared Smith really articulated it, well, this vote

684
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: is going to be based on subjectivity, and that's okay.

685
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: People have rooting interests. You heard me say at the

686
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: top of the show. You've heard me say it a

687
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: thousand times. We don't have royalty in this country. Our

688
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: athletes and our entertainers are our royalty. And in case

689
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: you missed it, okay, ten days ago, Caitlin Clark and

690
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever came to town here in Las Vegas

691
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: played a game at the Team Mobile Arena. The Las

692
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: Vegas states Is typically play their games over at michelob

693
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: Ultra Light Arena in Mandalay Bay, and I think it

694
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: holds about seven or eight thousand and they draw well reasonably.

695
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: But Caitlin Clark comes to town and they drew twenty

696
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty six people at Tivamobile Arena. Now,

697
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: the t Mobile Arena has been open since twenty seventeen

698
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: and it's home to a Stanley Cup champion. There have

699
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: been exhibition games played here. There have been college tournaments

700
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: games played here. There have been regional tournaments played here.

701
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: The NBA had their end season Tournament Championship played here.

702
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: There has never been a crowd as big as it

703
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: was ten days ago twenty three hundred and sixty six

704
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark came to town. If she had everything to

705
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: do with that? The bottom line is, is that enough?

706
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 9: Now?

707
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: Do you factor that into your voting? You don't have

708
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: to tell me. You can tell me sure, why not?

709
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: You either like research, you like Clark. You're gonna make

710
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: a prediction who you think should win Rookie of the Year.

711
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Eight seven, seven, nine

712
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: nine six six three six done at the top of

713
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: the hour. Also, Brownie James, We're gonna project ahead a year.

714
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: What are the headlines going to be after Brownie's first

715
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: full season with the Lakers? NBA legitimate bench player ten

716
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: minutes a game, He's got a role? What's his role? Starter?

717
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: All Star?

718
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 9: What?

719
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: Or was this whole darn thing just a charade gimmick

720
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: so Lebron could get his wish And that's okay too.

721
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: Tell me what you think you're can look into your

722
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: prystal ball now. Because of what happened forty eight hours ago,

723
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: I think we have to dive on this. We'll make

724
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: this a real quickly quickie. If you choose to apply

725
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: in on this one. Please make it quick because we

726
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: want to get the you know, we want to be

727
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: able to get everybody in. I think people are have

728
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: kind of had it now with baseball. Paul, you know,

729
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: I'll read Midnight Walker had a great quote here on Twitter,

730
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens had a great chance to make history, but

731
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: his boss Derek Shelton, said no. Why can't they stop

732
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: babying major league pitchers? Paul Skeens, he was born to

733
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: throw spot the line. Another good tweeter the listener of

734
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: the show Brave he goes under the handle Brave New

735
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: World Comics says quote, this is the equivalent of Josh

736
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: Allen or telling Josh Allen not to run f that

737
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: ish love it coming sick with it. So maybe we

738
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: should get your your We should really get your opinion

739
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: on this whole deal. And let's be honest here. It's

740
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 2: there are no right or wrong answers. It's from where

741
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: you sit, It's where you stand. Pittsburgh has got this

742
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: darn you know, bad luck with players. And it's a

743
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: great baseball town, it's a great sports city. But I

744
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: know they're waiting for the other shooter drop. You know,

745
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: they want pulse schemes to stay healthy. As it stands

746
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 2: right now, Pittsburgh is alive in the Wildcard Racer. Only

747
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: a couple of games back. Anything can happen. You get

748
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: to Labor Day in this man's Major League Baseball world,

749
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: and if you're five hundred, you're in the conversation. That's

750
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: just a fact. So Derek Shelton, who's already somewhat unpopular,

751
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 2: he's worried, right well, what do I do? I got

752
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: to manage through fear. What if he gets hurt? But

753
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: it was a one to nothing game and every victory counts.

754
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: Think about that. Plus he thrown ninety nine pitches. Paul

755
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: Skans threw one hundred and twenty five pitches just a

756
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: year ago against Wake Forest to win the championship in

757
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: the College World Series. I think he can do this.

758
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: He'd just come off a six pitch inning. Might they

759
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: have been able to say, Okay, Paul, we're gonna march

760
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: you out there. Let's see how many pitches you throw,

761
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: and we'll play it by year. If you give up

762
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: a single up the middle of the first hitter, we're

763
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 2: taking you out right. If you get a couple of

764
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: guys on base and all of a sudden you're up

765
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 2: to one hundred and twelve pitches. Well, we can't really

766
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: tempt fate. But what if you go out there and

767
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 2: have a four pitch inning? Now we're only one inning away.

768
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: We got a decision to make. This is still show business.

769
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: So those are our topics. Bronnie James, predict what's the

770
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,879

795
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: No nonsense, straight to the point, no equivocation. Good evening,

796
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: Good morning, Jim.

797
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 11: How are you good?

798
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 12: Bernie?

799
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 13: How you doing all right?

800
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 7: Number one?

801
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 12: As far as the pitcher goes, you pull them. You're

802
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 12: talking billions of dollars for those those guys, arms and everything.

803
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 12: You got to pull them because you're paying for the

804
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 12: arm for longevity. You're not paying for a no hitter.

805
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 12: Casing point. Mack Fridericks. That's what happened to him. They

806
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 12: used him so much it didn't even last that long.

807
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 12: I remember watching him in Fenway number two, Bronnie, Hey,

808
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 12: see you Leada. By no no, I'll quote child Bockley.

809
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 12: The NBA is about talent. He doesn't have the talent,

810
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 12: never has, never will be. Let him play with daddy

811
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 12: a game and then see you LATERA on the main

812
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 12: point of Caitlin and oh my goodness, Caitlin gets the

813
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 12: Rookie of the Year. I watched that game that they

814
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 12: lost to them. Bernie, you said, that's good basketball. I'm sorry.

815
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 12: The last the last five minutes of that game, they

816
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 12: went one for twelve with the line. Ree's team went

817
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 12: one for twelve at the line in the last five minutes.

818
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 12: Caitlin's team had the ball four times to win that game,

819
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 12: and she didn't even touch the ball on the place.

820
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 12: You know, I mean, what is going on in that league?

821
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 12: I think the referee instincts. I think everything about that

822
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 12: league stinks. But I'll tell you this about Caitlyn Clark

823
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 12: watching her, they are just so envious to her because

824
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 12: she knows how to play that game.

825
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 7: You set aside.

826
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 12: You know that she's white and she's straight, and everything

827
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 12: I saw Larry birde tight passes from her. She threw

828
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 12: one pass. The girl wasn't even looking hit her on

829
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 12: the shoulder.

830
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 9: Good thing.

831
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 12: It hit her in the shoulder. They would have hit

832
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 12: her in the head.

833
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 9: It would have knocked her out.

834
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 12: And she was under meat the basket. They missed eight futbacks.

835
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 12: Eight futbacks that girl miss So you know, I don't

836
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 12: want to hear anything more about the w NBA. Greata.

837
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 12: I think the I think the NBA. I'll just saved

838
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 12: them money. Let them sink and swing on their own,

839
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 12: and if they thank, they thank. But Caitlin Clock is

840
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 12: the real deal and she should be rookie to you.

841
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: All right, Jim, enjoy the rest of evening, coming strong

842
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: as usual. Just for what it's worth to set the

843
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: record straight. Mark Fiederich his original injury. He was goofing

844
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: around fielding fly balls in the outfield during batting practice

845
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: and fell in her to shoulder required surgery and he

846
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: was never the same. Uh and uh. You know, But

847
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: to Jim's point, this is what can happen to a

848
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: young guy. And they're protecting Paul Skan. So I you know,

849
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: whether you agree with him or not, I appreciate Jim's tenacity.

850
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 2: Stephen in Kansas City, welcome back in good evening.

851
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 14: Hey, well, why don't they ask Paul Skeins what he

852
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 14: thinks to wants to do?

853
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: Well they you know, you know the drill. He's gonna

854
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: tell the company line. Okay, he's glad they won. They've

855
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: tried that. He goes, hey, we got to win. Good deal.

856
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 2: So would you have puld him or not?

857
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 14: I would to let him do what he wants. It's

858
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 14: his responsibility. I mean, I'm not in love with these

859
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 14: artificial numbers. I don't think they amount. They amount too much,

860
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 14: but I'm I would vote for Angel Reefs right now.

861
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 14: I think Kaitlin will win the long term because of

862
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 14: a triple doubles. Now, addressing the the brownie situation, that's

863
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 14: this veteran Stephen Hunter. This journeyman had a long scathing

864
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 14: post this week about Lebron and the situation. And I

865
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 14: think it's a total side show. You're not you're not

866
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 14: really helping helping the kid. This this journeyman just lit

867
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 14: up lit up Lebron and and said it was an

868
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 14: egregious abuse of power, which it is.

869
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: And who wrote this, Stephen, I'm sorry, could you please.

870
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 14: Repeat Stephen Hunter? Stephen, Yeah, yeah, there was a story

871
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 14: about it in the middle of the week and just destroyed.

872
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 2: Lebron But what publication and what publication I'm asking.

873
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, I saw it an OutKick, I saw I saw it.

874
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: So continue on with Bronnie. Go ahead.

875
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 14: Well, his point was is that you're you're not really

876
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 14: helping the kid by putting him in this. I mean,

877
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 14: even even because it's an a greedious abuse of power.

878
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 14: It was a greedious abuse of power when arch Manning,

879
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 14: Archie Manning did this for Eli that people really didn't

880
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 14: think Eli was was that good? He sort of the

881
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 14: super Bowl until he backed it up. And that's that's

882
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 14: the problem you're doing with with Bronnie, is that you know.

883
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I gotta I gotta stop for just

884
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: a second, Stephen, Stephen, I gotta because I gotta get

885
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: to other calls. So what's just tell me what the

886
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: headline is year from now? You're your your comparison to

887
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: Eli Manning and his father, Archie, the issues he had

888
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: with the San Diego Chargers organization didn't want him to

889
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: go there. He ended up going to win two Super Bowls.

890
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: What is the headline for Brownie a year from now?

891
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 2: Notwithstanding your opinions are excellent, tell me what the just

892
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: quick headline is for a year from now.

893
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 15: For Brownie, Yeah, the headline will be Genie Buss will

894
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 15: avoid that four year contract that never should have been

895
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 15: given in the first place because the kid is just

896
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 15: not up to it.

897
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 7: It's nothing. I like the kid's story. I just don't.

898
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 14: I just don't like what happened. You know, It's just terrible.

899
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 14: I mean, that's the only thing. And and I don't

900
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 14: understand why all these LA guys are playing it down either,

901
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 14: because I guess they're protecting Lebron because.

902
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 16: They want favor from him.

903
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 14: But I love the journeyman who don't really care about,

904
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 14: you know, the veteran journeyman whose careers are over and

905
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 14: they want to they want to take take on Lebron.

906
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 13: So I get in credit for that.

907
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steven, appreciate you checking in tonight. As always.

00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 9: I've never learned to swim.

922
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 2: Okay, continue on, Continue on, Jerome Day.

923
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 14: Hey.

924
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 9: As far as the Kittlin clock and injuries, if they

925
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 9: don't give it to Kittlin Clock, there's gonna be a

926
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 9: mute me. Okay, we're gonna have a problem, all right,

927
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 9: because there's a lot of love for her, okay, and

928
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 9: I understand it. But if they don't give her that

929
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 9: Rookie of Year, what because she can and that's gonna

930
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 9: be like I don't know if the team records gonna

931
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 9: be anything. But she can shoot the ball, and the

932
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 9: other girls like, well, lady, she's like a rebounder grinder.

933
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 9: She's not a great shooter. Okay. I think that might

934
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 9: be popularity sometimes to take a lot father than you know,

935
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 9: name recognition and all that other stuff. But I think

936
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 9: they might give it to Cavin Clark that kinds And

937
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 9: as far as the Magic and the Burg comparing to

938
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 9: him Andrew Reach and killing Clark, is he out of

939
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 9: his mind?

940
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 17: Man?

941
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 14: I went crazy for.

942
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 9: A week trying to get them to bring a TV

943
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 9: into the room because I was stating their Korea for

944
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,440

945
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 9: gonna play against each other in the championship, I said,

946
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 9: there ain't no way I'm listening that to him. I

947
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 9: beg him for a week and they gave in and

948
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 9: they brought it in. I'm telling you, man, it was.

949
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 9: It was unbelievable being able to watch that game because

950
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 9: I went crazy because I just have to see Magic Johnson.

951
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 9: I heard so much about him. I've got to see him.

Speaker 18: And cart Clay and Clark? You know, I mean, it's

997
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 18: only obvious who they're gonna give it her.

998
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 7: She did a triple double. She is great for read

999
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 7: But I want.

1000
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,200

Speaker 18: really like.

1004
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 19: I would give it to everyone's gonna give it a Clark.

1005
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 19: I would give it an Angel Rees.

1006
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 18: Why because she was the first rookie to have more

1007
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 18: double doubles than any other rookie, so double doubles. I

1008
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 18: would give it to her. But of course, you know

1009
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 18: the media is gonna give it to Guk, But I

1010
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 18: would give it to Angel.

1011
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 2: We don't know that there is a long way to go.

1012
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 2: And it's not the media. I mean, it's all right. Uh,

1013
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: it's it's accommodation, all right, Poppy, you enjoy your time.

1014
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure ahead real quickly.

1015
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,479
Speaker 19: I would have left them on there like Nolan Ryan.

1016
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 19: I would have cut them on there. People come on,

1017
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 19: people want to see history with the pirates. We're talking

1018
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 19: about the pirates. So that's my sake, Bernie.

1019
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 2: Okay, good good stuff, Poppy. I would have liked to

Speaker 2: see him stay out there too. Uh. We protect these guys.

1021

Speaker 2: We have more Tommy John surgery's than cars has pills.

1022
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 2: And so the bottom line is, is is all this

1023
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: pitch count Michigan's working. No, it's not all right. We're

00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 2: your thoughts?

1041
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 11: Well, here's my thoughts on Bronnie. I'm not a big

1042
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 11: Lebron James Sam, but I think we need to give

1043
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 11: this kid a chance because Lebron, without a doubt, is

1044
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 11: one of the greatest basketball players of all time. I

1045
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 11: still put Michael Jordan's.

1046
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 7: At the top.

1047
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 11: That's my That's where I grew up. So I think

1048
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 11: Brinnie is going to be a year from now. I

1049
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,479
Speaker 11: think the young man is going to be doing real great.

1050
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 13: I really do.

1051
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, we move on.

1052
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 11: To Kaitlyn Clark. Yep, yep, I think Kaitlyn Clark deserves

1053
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 11: Rookie of the Year. She brought me into watching basketball,

1054
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 11: you know, college basketball, females. I don't like what the

1055
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 11: NBA is doing or the w n b A is

1056
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 11: doing to her. So it's I've voiced my opinion to

1057
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 11: the w n b A on Twitter and saying, you know,

1058
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 11: I don't like the guys are really running her through

1059
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 11: the mud.

1060
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 7: But she's great.

1061
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 11: She's brought a lot of us over. The w n

1062
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 11: b A needs to clean their act up and quit.

1063
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 11: I don't know. I just feel like she's being punished

1064
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 11: or whatever just for getting all the money that she's

1065
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 11: got and all the But she's great.

1066
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 2: What's that Paul Schemes? Would you have left him in

1067
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 2: to try to get the no no? Or did they

1068
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: do the right thing protecting their asset?

1069
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 11: Well, that's a hard question.

1070
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm not there's no right or wrong. There's no Where

1071
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 2: you sit is where you stand.

1072
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1073
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 11: And then with this pitch count stuff, I remember going

1074
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 11: back to the Randy Johnson days, and I believe it

1075
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 11: was September of ninety two against the Rangers and it

1076
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 11: was him and Nolan Ryan, I believe, and Randy Johnson

1077
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 11: threw one hundred and sixty pitches and struck out eighteen.

1078
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 11: That was the most pitches ever thrown. By a pitcher,

1079
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 11: and that guy was great. So I don't like this

1080
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 11: whole pitch count stuff. I don't like the analytics.

1081
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 2: Yep.

1082
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 11: If you've got a good pitcher, keep him out there

1083
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 11: when he's hot. Don't cut him off at sixty pitches

1084
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 11: or eighty pitches or whatever they're doing. It's ruining the game.

1085
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 11: I want to see that picture dominate the game.

1086
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, cowboy, don't be a stranger. Thank you,

1087
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 2: and good good stuff tonight. And I'm glad you brought

1088
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 2: up Nolan Ryan for what it's worth. In his career,

1089
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 2: he threw two hundred and twenty two complete games. He

1090
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 2: threw a lot of pitches because he was a strackout pitcher.

1091
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. Are they making human beings less strong

1092
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 2: these days? Seth in Las Vegas? Welcome in good evening.

1093
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 2: How are you.

1094
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 14: All the shore?

1095
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.

1096
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 21: Also with Brownie, I think Lebron is one of the

1097
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 21: greatest athletes we've been get to see. So I think

1098
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 21: we should give his son a chance at the NBA.

1099
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 2: He's gonna get a chance. He's got a four year deal.

1100
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: And I didn't mean to cut you off, but project

1101
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 2: the year from nous to what you think is to

1102
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: what you think the headline's going to be.

1103
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 21: I think he's gonna see a lot of the bench.

1104
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 21: He's gonna see a lot of the bench. And I think

1105
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 21: his ceiling for next year would probably be like a

1106
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 21: Gear Bayton junior, just like a defensive guy that they

1107
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 21: can just throw out there if somebody's injured or anything.

1108
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: You know that that I think is what the hope

1109
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 2: is a D, A three and D type of guy.

1110
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese, who you.

1111
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 21: Got, I would say, I'd say at this point they're

1112
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 21: kind of even right now. Stats the teams have even records.

1113
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 21: So because of Caitlyn Clark's overall edge onlike popularity, I

1114
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 21: find that more people will be matt ad if she

1115
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 21: is not take us a few the year.

1116
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 2: So would you vote for her because I really want

1117
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 2: to get the callers vote, you get to vote.

1118
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 21: Yeah, I'd vote for her just because she's brought so

1119
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 21: many people to the game, all right.

1120
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: And then finally Paul skiing, Seth, keep them manner.

1121
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 21: I don't no man, leave them man sure?

1122
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 12: All right?

1123
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, appreciate it, Seth, Thank you, Tony

1124
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: and Miami, welcome back in How are you?

1125
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 7: What's going on?

1126
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 8: Brother?

1127
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 22: Let me just get the angel Reese Clark, I say,

1128
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 22: give it, We're gonna do it. Jason Kidds Grant Hill

1129
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 22: type of co Rookie of the Year, keep the keep,

1130
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 22: keep the country in peace writing.

1131
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna know, I'm gonna mark that down right now.

1132
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: It's Caitlin for East too, and I'm gonna put co rookies.

1133
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 2: Why not go ahead, Bud, Yeah.

1134
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 22: And let and let them settle it in the playoffs.

1135
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 22: And then the opposite team, the opposite side of whoever's supporting,

1136
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 22: just has to shut the hell up at that point

1137
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 22: because the other player beat them.

1138
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: So oh, you know, no one's good. They're not gonna

1139
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 2: shut up. No one's gonna show. They'll be just as

1140
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 2: pissed off they got good. Continue on my man.

1141
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 22: Uh uh, Bronnie, you want to you want you really

1142
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 22: want me to know.

1143
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 23: I'm saying you want me to project the one year?

1144
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 13: What the headline is?

1145
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 23: Yeah, I I really I know it's dark and and

1146
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 23: you know you're open to all kinds of stuff, but

1147
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 23: I really believe that it'll say, uh, Ronnie and the

1148
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 23: I c U on life support.

1149
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 22: Give me, please give me fifteen seconds. I really hope

1150
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 22: I'm wrong, but there and I'm not saying this, and

1151
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 22: just there is a karma to the game of basketball.

1152
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 22: If you remember Hank Gathers and Reggie Lewis and one, Yeah.

1153
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: But okay, you want to hear something standalone, Tony. But

1154
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 2: this is why I don't want I don't filter calls.

1155
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: It leads to pretty good radio. I was actually at

1156
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 2: that game in March of nineteen ninety when Hank Gathers

1157
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: had the terrible, unfortunate he fell. You can't unsee that,

1158
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 2: you cannot. Paul WestEd was a coach that night. Who

1159
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 2: you know who else was on the floor for Portland,

1160
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 2: Eric spolsterra I'll never forget that night. A week before

1161
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 2: he had Hank Gathers had collapsed in practice. They didn't

1162
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 2: have a defibrillator, much different situation. It's my understanding. The

1163
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 2: best medical doctors have cleared Briani and he had some

1164
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: sort of congenital issue that was fixed. I don't know

1165
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: what I really kind of want to focus on because

1166
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 2: so far this is really sort of become a a

1167
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 2: side show. Bronni so far has averaging five points a

1168
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: game six to twenty six from the floor twenty three percent.

1169
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: He's zero from twelve from behind the arc. What's going

1170
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: to dramatically change when he actually has to get on

1171
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 2: the floor against real NBA players. So a year from now,

1172
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: I want to hear what people think what will be

1173
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 2: the headline be in terms of his playing.

1174
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 22: Assuming he's alive, Bernie and everything's well, and you know,

1175
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 22: I want to say he won't be in the league

1176
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 22: at norre near two year. I think I think we

1177
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 22: were more into the Housewives dramas show of the Lakers

1178
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 22: than the actual product.

1179
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 7: On the court.

1180
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 22: And that kind of goes for a lot of the

1181
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 22: NBA family, but specifically the Lakers are done. But back

1182
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 22: to Bronnie, I just think nepotism wouldn't be him playing

1183
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 22: on that team. Nepotism would be lebron getting a chance to.

1184
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 13: Code.

1185
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 7: He's not an athlete, He's just not.

1186
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right, I want to I want

1187
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 2: to get to all the other colleagues to Tony, I

1188
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: appreciate you really quicker quickly five ten seconds. Paul Skins,

1189
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: yes or no?

1190
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 7: Keep him in, don't comment.

1191
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 24: I don't want to say anything.

1192
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 7: I know about.

1193
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 2: Okay, real good, Tony Joy, the rest of your time

1194
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 2: the evening in Miami, and Tony has been a regular

1195
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 2: and wow, I uh, I might need a quick cool

1196
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: compreence after that one. We move along, Manuel and Guardina

1197
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: always look forward to your calls. Man, what do you got?

1198
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 19: Fat shit?

1199
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Comedic stylings of Manuel.

1200
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 19: On the streets of La beautiful breeze? Oh she long

1201
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 19: beach Bridge made up footbeat or Bernie other than Fox

1202
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 19: Sports Radio.

1203
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 11: And Bernie on it?

1204
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 19: You know what I mean.

1205
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 2: So let's write the headline. Thank you. Let's write the headline.

1206
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: A year from now, what will the headline be for Brownie?

1207
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 19: The headline will be colossal mistake. Lakers should have never

1208
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 19: appeased Lebron. The circuits is about to leave, and unfortunately

1209
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 19: a sucker has not been born.

1210
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 11: Every minute?

1211
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 2: All right, man, well, who you vote for?

1212
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 16: Angel Reese or to I'm going straight up Monty Brewster

1213
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 16: with a cigar lit up in his mouth.

1214
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 19: None of the above. Bernie, I couldn't care less about

1215
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 19: the w NBA.

1216
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 7: I don't give.

1217
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 19: A ratsass which one of them wins this.

1218
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

1219
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 19: Paul Skins guy is a stun I feel bad for

1220
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 19: the manager, But you gotta let him try to finish

1221
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 19: the no notes you have to. I'm an old school purist.

1222
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 19: You mentioned you know, Nolan, Randy Johnson, you know all

1223
01:01:59,240 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 19: kinds of guys.

1224
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 9: Mike Lacina would have comp that.

1225
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 19: Damn team done. Dam I mean, Sherry has no excuse

1226
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 19: for these guys, baby, and these pitches.

1227
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 11: I'm tired of it.

01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 20: go for Kavin Clark, Uh, simply because of I'm not

1291
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 20: an expert, but I read something about how there is

1292
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 20: so much she's humble. She she won't even care if

1293
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 20: she gets this award, and I and I think she's

1294
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 20: made such a change and made such an effect on

1295
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 20: the w n B A and uh those bringing people

1296
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,080

Speaker 20: don't even have TV, but I follow it on my phone.

1298
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 20: So I go for her. And I know a lot

1299
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 20: of people would be against her because of even her Christianity.

1300
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 20: Actually she's Catholic. I'm Catholic too, but that has nothing

1301
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 20: to do with it. Her sexuality and her.

1302
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 17: Well I was the race.

1303
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 2: So Bronie James, I want to get to athroontomics. Yeah,

1304
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 2: so what's the headline a year from now?

1305
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 20: His dad has always bothered me. But to get to

1306
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 20: the point, I think it will be Uh, it was

1307
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 20: a I don't think they would say this, but I

1308
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 20: would think. Okay, you want me to say what it

1309
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 20: would be.

1310
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get to write the headline.

1311
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 20: It's all you write the headline, Okay, editorial Kevin rumps.

1312
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 20: This has been a big mistake.

1313
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 7: Uh.

1314
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 20: You know that experiment by Brownie's dad, and thank god

1315
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 20: he didn't have another heart attack and the living vicariously

1316
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 20: through his son. Well, he got to do it because

1317
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 20: they allowed him. And I agree with in so many

1318
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 20: ways with what you have said over the last number

1319
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 20: of weeks, Bernie, that he does deserve it.

1320
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 7: I never thought that way.

1321
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 20: But in a really understanding step back and look at it.

1322
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 7: Take a big deep breath. He's done a lot for it.

1323
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 2: I've got no problem given Lebron's wish. Let's be honest,

1324
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 2: we're appeasing the insecurity. You were appeasing the emotions of

1325
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 2: a very insecure man. I don't care. Let him play

1326
01:06:58,280 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 2: with his son, it'll be cool.

1327
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1328
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 2: The headline for me is can his sett actually really

1329
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: play or is it just going to be a gimmick.

1330
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I hope he can live with himself after.

1331
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 11: I mean, he's not.

1332
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 2: Gonna Lebron's not gonna care.

1333
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 11: He's just oh not Lebron the boy.

1334
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 13: The boy Oh, he's.

1335
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:18,040

1346
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:44,960

01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 20: the world will be the rocket if we had another

01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 20: I know you got to get to the next guy,

1355
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,160

1356
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 20: to you one of the times I called recently passed

1357
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:23,000

1358
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 20: was pitching to him, and if he when he was

1359
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 20: playing baseball, he would have liked to pitch the whole

1360
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 20: game as well.

1361
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:37,120

1364
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 13: baseball term that most people don't understand and not understandable,

1365
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 13: don't know about it should be used. Schemes should have

1366
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 13: just gone pitch to pitch, first pitch on the next thing.

1367
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 2: That's what I would have done. Yes, start the eighth

1368
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 2: of this played by Year. I don't believe Derek Shelton.

Speaker 2: He was really tired, uh, Bronnie James H Bill. What's

1370
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 2: the headline of hear from now?

1371
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 13: I feel sorry for the young man. That's all you

1372
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 13: can do for him. You just feel sorry for him.

1373
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 2: That's all right, right, I don't feel sorry far.

1374
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 13: But but as far as yes, no brain, it's a

1375
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 13: slam dunk that she's going to get it. Because she's

1376
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 13: that is.

1377
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 2: That would that be your vote? That would that be

1378
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 2: your vote?

1379

Speaker 13: Yeah? Because she's right? That's all.

1380
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 2: All right? Pretty good player, all time leading scorer. But again,

1381
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 2: if that's if that's what you vote for, you you

Speaker 2: Welcome in.

1386
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 6: We lost him unfortunately.

1387
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 2: Okay, we lost John d Wayne. Jay in Kentucky, Welcome in.

1388
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 5: How are you hey, Bernie?

1389
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 2: So we got to some interesting topics tonight. Let's start

1390
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 2: with Bronnie James. What's the headline of hear from now?

1391
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 5: Well, before I give the headline, I'm wondering if you

1392
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 5: know the league guys will like take it easy on him,

1393
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 5: you know.

1394
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 2: No way, zero chance, zero chance.

1395
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 5: Because they don't want to bend, you know, they don't

1396
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 5: want to anger King James.

1397
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 2: You know, oh no, no, these guys are fighting. They

1398
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 2: got jobs and families too. You can't get to the

1399
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 2: major leagues in any sport unless you've.

1400
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 5: Got to mean, like, do you think that he'll get

1401
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 5: the Lonzo ball treatment where they're you know, just like

1402
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 5: picking him up at ninety four feet or well.

1403
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: He's not going to be bringing the ball up the

1404
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 2: floor anyway. He goes back and stands in the corner.

1405
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,839
Speaker 2: They don't see him as a facilitator, and that's something's

1406
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 2: drastically changed. You're figuring what they're listening real quickly. I

1407
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 2: want to get to all the callers. What's the headline?

1408
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 2: I had a good season, We're going to continue working

1409
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 2: with him?

1410
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Wow?

1411
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Is it all start? What's the headline?

1412
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll be a headline. You know he

1413
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 5: will do significant.

1414
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 2: All right, Caitlin Clark versus injuries, Well, I kind.

1415
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,560
Speaker 5: Of feel like the league is almost colluding with to

1416
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 5: get Tangel receive double doubles.

1417
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Like who would be your vote? Well, that might be true.

1418
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. She's already got a bunch of them

1419
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 2: in a roll before what happened the other night, So

1420
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going to overreact to that one too much

1421
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 2: because she already had a really good record. But who's

1422
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 2: your vote? I mean really? Okay? And would you have

1423
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 2: kept Paul Skeins in or pulled them?

1424
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 5: I think if it was a perfect game, I would

1425
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 5: have kept him in. But okay, no, those are becoming

1426
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 5: more common. I think that I'm okay with pulling all right.

1427
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 2: Appreciate your call. Jay, I'm just want to get all

1440
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,519

1441
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 17: have left them in there. Yep, he can pitch. If

1442
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 17: these guys are their arms are warm, I think they

1443
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 17: can keep going and keep pitching.

1444
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:31,360

Speaker 2: All right. I appreciate you hanging on line tonight, christ

Speaker 2: and checking in. Don't be a stranger. We do this

1453
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 2: every Friday night at midnight because time here from a

1454
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Laker, Mike in Las Vegas. You're up next,

1455
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: my friend.

1456
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 16: What you got hey, Bernie? I was at the games today.

1457
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 16: It was sold out. It wasn't Wemby Mania, but there

1458
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 16: was no tickets to be had at the box office,

1459
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 16: so it was sold out just in case someone had

1460
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 16: the misknown where that there was nothing available. There was

1461
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 16: plenty of tickets available, sold out.

1462
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 7: Ronnie James headline.

1463
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 9: It's going to be.

1464
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 16: Jj Reddick's brown nose wipers still on Lakers payroll. That's

1465
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 16: what it's going to be.

1466
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 9: All right.

1467
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 16: That's the story about that defensive specialist. This and that,

1468
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 16: come on now. Everybody was hoping that the US Olympic

1469
01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 16: team game in Saudi Arabia would be two days later

1470
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 16: so they can see lebron James walk in from the

1471
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 16: tunnel to see Brownie play. Please give me a break.

1472
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 25: I'm changing my call sign pretty soon from.

1473
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 16: Laker Mike to Okac Mike. That's how betrayed I feel

1474
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 16: by the Lakers organization.

1475
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, Mike, Paul.

1476
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 16: I'm from Pittsburgh, and the Major League Baseball isn't like

1477
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 16: NBA has become where there's gonna be parody.

1478
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,440
Speaker 25: Pirates aren't going to have Paul Skins.

1479
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 16: On the team in five or six years. They're gonna

1480
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 16: have to sell them because they can't afford him.

1481
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 25: So let this phenom pitch his no hitter. So many

1482
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 25: people on national media.

1483
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 16: Are saying, oh, you know, don't don't where the novelty out, Well,

1484
01:14:52,479 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 16: I don't know where they're you know, the their producer

1485
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 16: notes are coming from. Let the guy have a chance

1486
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 16: at a no hitter. Oh, there's a one hundred and

1487
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:05,600
Speaker 16: eighty four no hitters already pitched, well, probably fifty in

1488
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 16: the last six years are combined no hitters. Ridiculous. Caitlin

1489
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 16: Clark and Angel Reese. You know, I haven't heard about

1490
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 16: the NBA since the Sparks won their back to back

1491
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 16: championships back around two thousand, when Shaq and Kobe were

1492
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 16: playing together. Bernie love you and I listen to you

1493
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,799
Speaker 16: all the time. What Tannel fool of I goodbye.

1494
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 2: Thanks Laker miked. That actually was a really spirited call.

1495
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 2: I got a kick out of the Lakers commentary there.

1496
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 2: I feel it curtain Southern California any gaps and I

1497
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 2: bud here.

1498
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 9: What's going on? Bernie?

1499
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 24: I'm going to start with Ronnie. At the end of

1500
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 24: the year, I think Bronnie will be in the running

1501
01:15:52,320 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 24: for Rookie of the Year. As for Kaylin Clark and

1502
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 24: the other the tailor Gal's name injuries, I would give

1503
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 24: it to both of them if they continue to play

1504
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 24: the way they are.

1505
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 2: Someone else mentioned that Alie of the Year.

1506
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 13: Award as a manager.

1507
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 24: I was in the position of a manager and only

1508
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 24: because I pitched. I would never allow somebody to have

1509
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 24: the chance to be part of baseball history. On three

1510
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 24: occasions this year, two by the Dodgers. The most egregious one,

1511
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 24: in my opinion, was Clayton Kershaw, who had a perfect

1512
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 24: game going. Well, you mean to tell me that they

1513
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 24: didn't give him the opportunity to make history for himself.

1514
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 24: That would the spirit has to come out of a

1515
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 24: player or a pitcher if they don't get that opportunity.

1516
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 24: And this pitch count stuff is just to me.

1517
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 9: It's just ridiculous.

1518
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 24: And that's only because of pitching in my life. That's

1519
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 24: curve of my opinions.

1520
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 2: And we'll be a stranger, Kurt. We're gonna do this

1521
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 2: again next week. I want to get to this one

1522
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 2: last call a gentlemen, it's been waiting. Thanks so much, Kurt,

1523
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 2: appreciate you. Buddy Jeff in Denver, you close it off

1524
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 2: for us tonight. You got the last word.

1525
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 26: First of all, with the whole pitcher thing, let him pitch.

1526
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 26: You never know how the guy in the bullpen's going

1527
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,600
Speaker 26: to come in. What if he comes in and throws.

1528
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 7: Eight straight balls? Okay, let this guy pitch.

1529
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 11: You've watched him for seven innings.

1530
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 26: If he gives us a single walk out there, congratulate him.

1531
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 26: Then take him out, but don't take him out until he.

1532
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 7: Gets a chance.

1533
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement. They could have at least started the

1534
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 2: inning and gotten ten more pitches out of him. All right,

1535
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 2: Brownie James, What is the headline a year from now?

1536
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 11: The word why?

1537
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 2: Well? We know why? All right?

1538
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 26: All right?

1539
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: If that's the headline, I don't even go ahead.

1540
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 26: Or or death of a franchise, and you might it's bothersome.

1541
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 2: It's bothersome. You're onto something there, Jeff, continue.

1542
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 26: On and you might see both JJ Reddick and Bronnie

1543
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 26: James face on a mccartin's m I.

1544
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 2: A well final one, Angel Reese versus Caitlin Clark. Your

1545
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 2: vote for Rookie of the Year.

1546
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 26: Kaitlyn Clark, because she might be I'm from Denver, so

1547
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 26: she might be similar to Joker Nicola Jokic, where.

1548
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 2: There's some of that dynamic. Yeah, well, yeah, there's some

1549
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 2: of that dynamic.

1550
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 7: The league really doesn't know yet how good she is.

1551
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 11: When she may be dominant.

1552
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 2: We got a clock issue coming up. I don't mean

1553
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 2: to be short. Hang hang right there. I want to

1554
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 2: hear from you again because coming up, Dion Sanders is

1555
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 2: going to be very much in the news this year,

1556
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 2: and so Sean Payton and those are going to probably

1557
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 2: find their ways into Midnight Hour topic. So appreciate you

1558
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 2: all from demo to night. Jeff, thank you very much.

1559
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 2: Callers just simply outstanding. Tonight had a lot of peaks

1560
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 2: and valleys. Appreciate all of you taking the time to

1561
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 2: dial in. Look, you can think whatever you want about

1562
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. First in w NBA rookie in history, one

1563
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 2: hundred rebounds, four hundred points, one hundred and fifty assists.

1564
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Bronnie I said, I'll give him a full year. I

1565
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,719
Speaker 2: think the headline's going to be He's a work in progress.

1566
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 2: You just wait and see where they're going to continue

1567
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 2: shoving that narrative up. Artook us right now after three

1568
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 2: games against w against Summer league players of which ninety

1569
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 2: percent will never sniff the league. He's got. He's averaging

1570
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: five points a game. He's six for twenty six from

1571
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 2: the field, twenty three percent for twelve from behind the art.

1572
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 2: I got to get the crew in, so coming up,

1573
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 2: we're going to get Kevin and Ian and Mark to

1574
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 2: weighing on these very important topics. And oh, by the way,

1575
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 2: another oops for the men's soccer team. I'll tell you

1576
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 2: my thoughts. It's important with the Olympics around the corner,

1577
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 2: keep it locked. It's the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox

1588
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,560
Speaker 2: the clock, as it were. And uh I want to

1589
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 2: make sure I get the crew in here, because these

1590
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 2: are very much sports headlines. Kevin figures will start with you.

1591
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 2: What would be the headline a year from now on

1592
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 2: Brownie James.

1593
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 10: Well, if I wanted to be funny about it, I'd

1594
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 10: say unfit for King Spawn, unable to carry the crown.

1595
01:20:58,600 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 8: Good.

1596
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 2: Shoot, that's the kind of headline that you had to

1597
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 2: go to journalism school.

1598
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 10: You had to, oh, you know, broadcast journalism four years

1599
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 10: at cal State LA.

1600
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 6: One of the great schools of all time.

1601
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 10: Uh No, honestly, and I don't want to steal it

1602
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 10: from you, Bernnie, but I do want to say, to

1603
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 10: a certain degree of work in progress, you can only

1604
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 10: glean so much one just from Summer League in general,

1605
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 10: and especially from just a handful of games people won't remember,

1606
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 10: but I remember this distinctly when Derrick Rose came out

1607
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 10: his first year.

1608
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 6: At the Bulls.

1609
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 10: People said he had one of the worst summer leagues ever,

1610
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,559
Speaker 10: and I believe his that he saw like under thirty

1611
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 10: percent from the field average like eight points a game.

1612
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 10: People were saying, my god, we made a mistake taking

1613
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 10: this guy over Michael Beasley, and then you ended up

1614
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 10: seeing what happened. He ended up being one of the

1615
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 10: great players in the league for the hold.

1616
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: That thought, my man, because you're a very learned man.

1617
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 2: Here's where I throw a flag on that. Yeah, Derrick

1618
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 2: Rose was pretty good at Memphis, of course. Well I was, okay,

1619
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 2: he was an accomplished See we haven't seen it from Brian.

1620
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 6: I was getting around to that.

1621
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 10: Yes, go ahead, yeah, so yes, he was the first

1622
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 10: overall pick for a reason, got you know, got to

1623
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 10: a final four, all of that.

1624
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,759
Speaker 6: He was a phenomenal player.

1625
01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 2: He was.

1626
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 10: But the problem is you shouldn't hold a second round

1627
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 10: pick to that standard. So we can be critical of

1628
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,639
Speaker 10: Derreck Rose at that point, say, oh, he's eighteen, he's nineteen,

1629
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 10: give him some.

1630
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 6: Time, he'll grow.

1631
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 10: I don't know why we can't give that same grace

1632
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 10: to someone who, by the way, was a McDonald's all

1633
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 10: American three or four years ago, was seen as a

1634
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 10: great athlete, was seen as someone had he stuck in

1635
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 10: college for a couple of years, could have made his

1636
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 10: way into the bottom part of the lottery. So this

1637
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 10: idea that Brinnie James has no chance making it to

1638
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 10: the NBA, I just don't see it.

1639
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 2: Now.

1640
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 6: He's going to be anywhere close to his father.

1641
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 12: No.

1642
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 10: But if if there's a cop for me, honestly, it's

1643
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 10: probably like a Patrick Beverly type. If he can improve

1644
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 10: his jump shot, if he can be a ferocious defender,

1645
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 10: you can find yourself a niche in this league as

1646
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 10: a role player. And if you're that fifty fifth pick

1647
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 10: in the draft, how much more could you ask for?

1648
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 2: Well, I've heard the Patrick Beverly comparison to and it

1649
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: bothers me. Beverly lit it up at college and he

1650
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 2: had to go to the Ukraine for a year and

1651
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 2: let it up there before the NBA would even take

1652
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 2: a look at it. Yeah.

1653
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 6: Also a second one line is.

1654
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Ben Wallace was never drafted. He was a

1655
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, correct, Fred van Vliet, Forget the draft.

1656
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 2: A bunch of guys go back way in the cookie jar.

1657
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 2: Connie Hawkins. You know Jose called around. There's been a

1658
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 2: bunch of very good players that weren't even drafted. I

1659
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 2: got no problem if his dad wants him to play,

1660
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 2: I got no problem if the Lakers want to give

1661
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 2: him a shot. All I want to know is what's

1662
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 2: going to look like a year from now. The reason

1663
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 2: I said work in progress is that's what the Lakers

1664
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 2: wants to believe. Based on what I've seen, and I've

1665
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 2: been doing this a long time, I think it's an

1666
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 2: extreme long shot that he's ever a serviceable NBA player.

1667
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 2: He could prove me wrong and we'll have a brand

1668
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 2: new story. So I think you bring up a lot

1669
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,240
Speaker 2: of good points. There are no right or wrong answers

1670
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,799
Speaker 2: here because it's very difficult to predict the future.

1671
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, a year from now, I don't think he's gonna

1672
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 10: make much of an impact for me.

1673
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 6: This is a two or three year look.

1674
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 10: Patrick Beverley was drafted, I believe in two thousand and

1675
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 10: nine or in two thousand and ten, and didn't he

1676
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 10: make him to the NBA until three years later.

1677
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 2: He had that ceiling, do you believe? So you believe

1678
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 2: Bronnie has a real ceiling yet?

1679
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think his ceiling if he continues to work

1680
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 10: and develop. Yes, he has to improve his jump shot,

1681
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 10: but if he can be a ferocious defender and can

1682
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 10: make shots, he can be a three and D player.

1683
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 10: That's the ceiling for him, and he can reach that

1684
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,919
Speaker 10: because we've seen players be able to develop. Alice Caruso

1685
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 10: developed into that as an undrafted guy.

1686
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 2: But you bring up some good points. Let's let the

1687
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 2: future take care of itself and see what happens on

1688
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with that part of it. Caitlin Clark

1689
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 2: versus Andrew Reese, if he had to vote for who's

1690
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 2: your vote?

1691
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 6: Well, today is Kaitlyn Clark.

1692
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 10: Tomorrow might be Angel And I hate to give like

1693
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 10: a cop out answer, but I don't know if there's

1694
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 10: one that's doing anything.

1695
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,639
Speaker 6: More spectacularly than the other. At this point.

1696
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 10: They're both breaking records, they both have been amazing. Kaitlin

1697
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 10: Clark obviously is getting more shine. She also does more.

1698
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 10: She's a backcourt player, she has the ball in her hands,

1699
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,719
Speaker 10: you know, Andeerice is more of like a front court

1700
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 10: dirty work. But I mean being able to get what

1701
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 10: fifteen straight double double is something that nobody in Leak

1702
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 10: history has ever done, and there is some great players

1703
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 10: in league history. Lisa Lostakanda's Parker Dan, It's Aura. I mean,

1704
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 10: you name it, go down the list. So Angel Reese

1705
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:02,640
Speaker 10: is getting overshadowed by a certain threer because Kay and

1706
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 10: Clark came in with all of the fanfare. But I

1707
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 10: don't think we should short change Angel reason the spectacular

1708
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 10: rookie season she's having too, So it's.

1709
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 6: Kind of a cop out.

1710
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 10: And I think one of the callers said it as well,

1711
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 10: that maybe this will be at Jason Kidd Grant Hill

1712
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 10: co Rookie of the Year situation. But honestly, I know

1713
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 10: I can't vote for both, but as of right now,

1714
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 10: I think they equally deserve Sean.

1715
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 6: Neither team is playing particularly well. I think they both

1716
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:25,759
Speaker 6: have nine or ten wins, so it's.

1717
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 10: Not like either of them is really impacting winning from

1718
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 10: that standpoint, but from an individual production standpoint, I think

1719
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 10: they're both holding their own.

1720
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna look, I feel the same way. From

1721
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 2: the standpoint. It's not a cop out for the simple reason,

1722
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 2: no one ever won a championship at halftime. It's halftime, right,

1723
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 2: You've got to let the rest of the season play

1724
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 2: out and see what happens. And I think that's important. Okay, Now,

1725
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: the Sky won eighteen games last year, the fever one thirteen.

1726
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,799
Speaker 2: We'll see if that's part of it. Maybe they factor

1727
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 2: in whether or not your respective team makes the playoffs.

1728
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 2: We'll see. I believe I agree with you. That's got

1729
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 2: to play itself out. Paul skeins, what would you have done?

1730
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 10: I'm old school as well. Would I would have left

1731
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 10: him in. Look, he's he's in his rookie season. I

1732
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 10: understand there's a lot of arm injuries, and you know,

1733
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 10: I hate to speculate on whether or not a guy's

1734
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 10: gonna have Tommy John but unfortunately, at this point in time,

1735
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 10: it's all these guys are ticking time bombs because they're

1736
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 10: throwing one hundred and five miles an hour from the

1737
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 10: age of twelve or whatever it is. So, look, if

1738
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 10: he's gonna do that, you know, wear him out early on,

1739
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 10: you know. So if he's gonna throw one hundred and

1740
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,760
Speaker 10: twenty five hundred and thirty pitches in a game, have

1741
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 10: it be in one of his first fifteen starts of

1742
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 10: his career, because you can always manage it after the fact,

1743
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 10: you know, you can skip them a start. You can

1744
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 10: manage his innings over a month and a half or

1745
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 10: two months after that if you're concerned about the amount

1746
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 10: of pitches that he's throwing or his total innings. It'd

1747
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 10: be a different situation if this was later in the season.

1748
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 10: You're gearing up for the playoffs and you want to

1749
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 10: protect him for a playoff run. Granted, yes they are

1750
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 10: in the playoff race as of now, they're in the Wildcard,

1751
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 10: but it's still early enough in the season where you

1752
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 10: can skip a start or two and give him extra

1753
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 10: rest if you needed to, but allow the kid to

1754
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 10: be able to chase history. He's already making some imagine

1755
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 10: if he's able to throw a perfect game or a

1756
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 10: no hitter in his rookie season just a handful of

1757
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,480
Speaker 10: starts in. I just don't want to take that opportunity

1758
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 10: away from a kid, knowing that you can manage his

1759
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 10: arm later in the season as it goes on.

1760
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 2: And that's how I feel the same way. By the way,

1761
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 2: just to set the record straight, the Chicago Sky were

1762
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 2: a playoff team last year. I know that because they

1763
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 2: teed it up against the Aces lost boths games by

1764
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 2: more than twenty points. Would they have been more competitive

1765
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 2: with injuries. I think so, but they were a playoff

1766
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:40,759
Speaker 2: team last year and then the fever were really stinky.

1767
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 2: So we'll see if that matters as the voting goes on.

1768
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin, good stuff. Let's go to Ian Roddy. Let's

1769
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 2: start with the headlines on Brownie James.

1770
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 27: I don't I think a year from now, the headline

1771
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 27: on Brownie is going to be that he's still a

1772
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 27: work in progress, you know, maybe he's I think it's

1773
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 27: going to be similar to what it is now, where

1774
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 27: it's he's just seen as as a raw player with

1775
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 27: with potential to become a solid three and D guy.

1776
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 27: But but like to be perfectly realistic, Bernie, Like how

1777
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 27: many times in the NBA, like we see it in

1778
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 27: the NFL sometimes where there's you know, a father son

1779
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 27: duo who's you know, both players are spectacular. Maybe the

1780
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 27: son is even better. We're seeing it right now, Marvin

1781
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 27: Harrison Junior might even be better than his dad, you

1782
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 27: know whatever. I'm getting off on a tangent here and

1783
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 27: the NBA, we don't really see it where the son

1784
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,640
Speaker 27: is is far better than the father, or like like

1785
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 27: if if the father is an all time great, because

1786
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 27: I guess Steph Curry is way better than Dell. But

1787
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 27: if the father is an all time great, we've never

1788
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 27: really seen the son pan into anything, so I don't

1789
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 27: know why we should expect anything different here with Brownie.

1790
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 2: Well, you don't know. I would say this, Look, the

1791
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 2: Lakers are talking about sonning Gary Trent Junior. I saw

1792
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 2: Gary Trent Senior playing the Mac in the nineties. He

1793
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 2: was called the Shack of the Mac. He was a

1794
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,000
Speaker 2: hell of a player. Now, Gary Trent Junior, he's been

1795
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: in the league what four or five years? Lakers are

1796
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 2: talking about kidding him. Here's the difference between him and Bronni.

1797
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 2: He played a duke and Gary Trant Junior was a

1798
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 2: good player duke. Okay, he was only a second round

1799
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 2: draft pick two thirty seventh overall, So maybe you can

1800
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: draw the comparison there, but I haven't seen it out

1801
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 2: of Brownie ever. He did score fifteen points in the

1802
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 2: McDonald's All American and I'll give him that. M HM

1803
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 2: wasn't the best player at his high school team, second

1804
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 2: team All League, non factored sc If they were really

1805
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 2: that concerned about his development, maybe he should have stayed

1806
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 2: in college but that's not what this is about. So

1807
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm only to keep an open mind because I've seen

1808
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 2: it a thousand times too in every sport. I've seen

1809
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 2: guys that were undrafted come out of nowhere and end

1810
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 2: up in the Hall of Fame. I've seen it in baseball,

1811
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 2: I've seen it in hockey, whatever the case you want

1812
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 2: to be. So I've got to give Bronnie James the

1813
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:52,679
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt.

1814
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 27: And he has the genetics. We know for a fact

1815
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 27: that he has the genetics to be a good enough

1816
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,280
Speaker 27: NBA player to where he can, you know, find a

1817
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 27: role for himself in the league. So I think he's

1818
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 27: earned that for himself, you know, just being Lebron's son,

1819
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,519
Speaker 27: whether people like it or not, James's son.

1820
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 2: I got a plan with that part of it. Yes,

1821
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 2: that's what in this country. If you have leverage, you

1822
01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 2: better damn we'll use it. The key is is I

1823
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: heard you know, as I said tongue in cheek a

1824
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 2: while ago. If I get you a job as a lifeguard,

1825
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,080
Speaker 2: because I have connections, We're gonna find out if you

1826
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 2: can swim or not. And if we find out you

1827
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 2: jump in the pool and you can't swim, this is

1828
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 2: your analogy, then no one can be pissed off when

1829
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 2: we call facts facts down the road, but we have

1830
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,080
Speaker 2: to get down the road, all right. Caitlin Clark versus

1831
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 2: Andreel Reese, who would your vote be?

1832
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 27: You know, I think I would vote for Angel Reese

1833
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 27: just just to zig while everyone else is zagging because

1834
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 27: of the fact that it's such a toss up right now.

1835
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 27: But can I just say, like, I just want to

1836
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 27: acknowledge the fact, like how awesome is it that that

1837
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 27: they're both incredible? Like they were this college rivalry that

1838
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 27: so much steam and attention and got so many eyes

1839
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 27: on the sport when they were in college, and Angel

1840
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 27: Reese wasn't even a guarantee to be some great w

1841
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 27: NBA player like Kaitlyn Clark was viewed to be. Angel

1842
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 27: Reese was like the fourth pick in the draft, you know,

1843
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 27: it's not like she was the second pick or something

1844
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 27: right after Kaitlyn Clark.

1845
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 2: But she has a specific skill set. She's a terrific

1846
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 2: low post player. She's a grinder. John Wooden once said

1847
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,480
Speaker 2: there's a place in heaven for rebounders. She's a rebounder

1848
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 2: that's very important. She's got really good court sense too.

1849
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,800
Speaker 2: I mean, she makes good decisions with the ball. She

1850
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 2: does not have Caitlyn Clark's skill set or flamboyance. Her

1851
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 2: contributions to that team are significant.

1852
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, she's setting records, Well.

1853
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 2: She's doing that. She did set the one record of

1854
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 2: the most you know, double doubles, but that that matters.

1855
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 2: What I see, though, is a person who's a key cogs.

1856
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 2: She was a key cog. And now let's use National Championship.

1857
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:58,839
Speaker 2: All right, what would you have done Ian with Paul Skens.

1858
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 27: Yeah, I would have left in.

1859
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 6: I would have left him in.

1860
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 27: It's so it's a great This is the perfect example

1861
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 27: of why MLB is just so far behind the NFL

1862
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 27: and NBA in terms of, you know, the fan bases

1863
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 27: and the amount of popularity it has. This is just

1864
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 27: a perfect example. You have a young superstar who's like

1865
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 27: the greatest thing that's happened to your sport in forever.

1866
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 27: He's on the verge of making history, and you pull

1867
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 27: him that That would never happen in the NFL. Can

1868
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 27: you imagine if Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of

1869
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 27: setting some incredible record and they just take him out

1870
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 27: of the game because they want to preserve his arm.

1871
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 27: It's just crazy to me that they would do. I

1872
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 27: get the pitch count thing, and it's not a thing

1873
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 27: in football, so it's you know, and Apple's don't or

1874
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:41,719
Speaker 27: a really good point.

1875
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 2: Let's look at the subtext to what you're talking about.

1876
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 2: The WNBA. Sure, the WNBA does, the NBA does, the

1877
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 2: NFL does. They promote their stars, they build the league

1878
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 2: around their stars. Baseball is the worst.

1879
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 27: At that terrible and this is just like the perfect

1880
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 27: example of it. This is exhibit A. This is like

1881
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 27: the it was handed them, handed to them on a platter.

1882
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 27: This superstar had the opportunity to set a league record

1883
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:13,720
Speaker 27: that's never been done before, or you know, maybe only

1884
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 27: a handful of times. I don't know the exact stats,

1885
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:18,519
Speaker 27: but the fact that they had that handed to them

1886
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 27: on a silver platter and decided to take it. I

1887
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 27: get it wasn't the MLB's decision as a league, but

1888
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 27: it's just a micro based.

1889
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 2: On fear, and to your point, it is somewhat a

1890
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 2: league wide decision. They all are drinking from the same

1891
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 2: cooler look. People should know at least, and I'm sure

1892
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 2: many remember Carrie Wood had a famous performance many years

1893
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 2: ago he was only twenty years old. He was a rookie.

1894
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 2: He struck out twenty guys in a game, but needed

1895
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 2: a one hundred and twenty two pitches to do it,

1896
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 2: and later on we found out that he created some

1897
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:57,720
Speaker 2: elbow soreness ended up finally missing the final month of

1898
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 2: the season. That year, Carrie would never showed that level

1899
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 2: of dominance again due to injuries. We're never gonna know

1900
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 2: if that's what they diffuse, that's what they're definitely afraid of.

1901
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 2: But my issue is guys are getting hurt anyway, even

1902
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:13,080
Speaker 2: though they're guarding them. Why we have more Tommy John

1903
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 2: injuries than we've ever had before. And like Kevin said,

1904
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 2: they're teaching these guys to pitch and throw as hard

1905
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 2: as you can from the time you're twelve years old.

1906
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 2: They're enamored with velocity. You know, I'm gonna have my

1907
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 2: good buddy Larry Sorenson on Saturday night. He won ninety

1908
01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 2: three games in the Major League. He didn't throw hard,

1909
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,679
Speaker 2: he was crafty. He knew how to locate change speeds,

1910
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 2: key hitters off balance, got nine guys out in the

1911
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:41,479
Speaker 2: All Star Game. He also called Paul Schemes last game

1912
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 2: as is the opposing team Wake Forrest, he was one

1913
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 2: of the announcers. Look, I hit, you're pitching his timing

1914
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 2: a right hitting his timing. If a pitcher can disrupt

1915
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 2: your timing by changing speeds and setting you up and locating,

1916
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 2: that's what really gets him out. Now. Obviously, you know,

1917
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 2: we're enamored with the Steven Strasburgs and Masa hero Tanakas,

1918
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 2: and the Dwight Goodins and Daloe Normo's and Carrie Woods,

1919
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:05,600
Speaker 2: the guys that could really throw the piss out of

1920
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 2: the ball. But unfortunately, none of those guys really had

1921
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 2: really long, long, long longevity, and none of them were

1922
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. So the only question as

1923
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:16,680
Speaker 2: to whether or not Paul Skeens is going to be

1924
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,600
Speaker 2: that generational guy ten years from now, it's going to

1925
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 2: hinge upon whether or not his longevity can be maintained.

1926
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 2: We don't know that. That for me is one key

1927
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:27,920
Speaker 2: reason I would have at least marched him out for

1928
01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 2: the eighth inning. All right, It's really easy to be

1929
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 2: armchair quarterback here as I mix my metaphors, but you

1930
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 2: could have at least marched him out for the eighth inning.

1931
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 2: He had nine nine pitches, give him ten more. See

1932
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 2: what happens. Just a year ago against Wake Forest, he

1933
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,799
Speaker 2: threw one hundred and twenty five pitches in the final

1934
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 2: championship game in the College World Series to win it all.

1935
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 2: All right, Mark Rams, you got the last word. Do

1936
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 2: you have a headline on Kobe or Kobe Brown?

1937
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness, Kobe.

1938
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 28: I think the headline is going to be Lebron James

1939
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 28: opens the door for Bronnie. The NBA is going to

1940
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,520
Speaker 28: close it based on what everybody's talking about. And disclaimer,

1941
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 28: I haven't watched Bronnie play, but it just appears that

1942
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 28: he is not. He is an average player, and so

1943
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,879
Speaker 28: if he does well enough, he will be an average

1944
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,200
Speaker 28: person who sits on the bench and they will bring

1945
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:22,080
Speaker 28: him in to let some other player rest. And as

1946
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 28: long as he can hold up his end of being

1947
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 28: a bench player, he might continue to play if he

1948
01:36:27,479 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 28: still loves the game, if he still loves it more

1949
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,559
Speaker 28: than what his dad has put into him to want

1950
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 28: to be a good player. I think, based on what's

1951
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 28: going on, he'll just be an average player and the

1952
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 28: headliner will just be that Lebron helped him get in.

1953
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 28: But the NBA is going to close the door.

1954
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 2: I think he's he's gonna work hard, and I think

1955
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,799
Speaker 2: he's going to give the effort. Were I keep seeing

1956
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 2: this assumption out there from people that are are what

1957
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 2: I would believe to be bright and observational, is that

1958
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 2: there's this imaginary ceiling that he has just because I

1959
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 2: haven't seen it. So if that ceiling is going to

1960
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:10,760
Speaker 2: manifest itself, well maybe it will, but I haven't seen it.

1961
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,760
Speaker 2: And that's the issue here, is that this ceiling that

1962
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Bronnie James has, maybe he can work on his jumper.

1963
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 2: He's over for twelve right now from behind the arc,

1964
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:22,560
Speaker 2: but maybe down the road he can all of a

1965
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 2: sudden become a shooter. Maybe that can happen, But it's theoretical,

1966
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 2: and that's where I have this big gap, and I

1967
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 2: just can't give him the Derrick Roses or the or

1968
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:38,200
Speaker 2: the I forget who else. We mentioned this a second ago,

1969
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly's again, Bronni could be that let's give the

1970
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,600
Speaker 2: young man a chance. You know what I really like

1971
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 2: about him. He's really well grounded, he gets it. He

1972
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:50,280
Speaker 2: is a he was born to be a basketball player.

1973
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 2: We just don't know what his ceiling is yet. But Mark,

1974
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate your comments and continue on who you're voting for,

1975
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 2: Angel Reese or Caitlin Clark.

1976
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:03,640
Speaker 28: I think the voteould be for Caitlyn Clark because I

1977
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:08,120
Speaker 28: think the off the court will edge it out because

1978
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 28: of her impact. Like you said, they chained stadiums for

1979
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 28: her to play in Las Vegas, and the impact of

1980
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 28: what she's done for ticket sales and just I guess

1981
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 28: eyeballs coming to the game. From what I understand, a

1982
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 28: jewel Reese, like you said, is more you know next

1983
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 28: to the basket, you know, a hard work inside. But

1984
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 28: just the impact of what Caitlyn Clark has done for

1985
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 28: women's basketball. I think that will edge it out that

1986
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,799
Speaker 28: she will get the vote for Rookie of the Year.

1987
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:40,679
Speaker 2: And that would be your vote.

1988
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 6: Yes, all right.

1989
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 2: Paul skeenst hitter.

1990
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 6: Leave him in. He's a pitcher.

1991
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 28: You can only find out how good he is and

1992
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 28: luck as long as he pitches the only woods for

1993
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 28: the Cubs. He was pitching and unfortunately his body didn't

1994
01:38:59,040 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 28: stand up for.

1995
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 6: The test of time.

1996
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:04,680
Speaker 28: But other people have been in and they let them,

1997
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 28: they let them play. It all depends on that person's body.

1998
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 28: If it's going to last, and how well they figure

1999
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 28: out how to throw hard and not throw hard. Every

2000
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 28: everybody has a you know, an individual thing. It just

2001
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 28: depends on the player's arm because everybody gets hurt, but

2002
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 28: not everybody gets hurt that way from from throwing so much.

2003
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 28: Leave the guy in, let him get the no hitter game.

2004
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 9: Yeah.

2005
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a special achievement. It's it puts you

2006
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,560
Speaker 2: in rarefied here. Like Kevin said, he's only eleven starts

2007
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 2: to have this opportunity so quickly, when you've been to

2008
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 2: the major leagues less than sixty days.

2009
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 6: Why take it away from him so quick?

2010
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:46,760
Speaker 2: Let them man, I don't like it. I don't like it.

2011
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 2: I know Pittsburgh's trying to protect their asset, but like

2012
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,839
Speaker 2: one of the other callers said, if past his prologue,

2013
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 2: it won't be in Pittsburgh four years from now because

2014
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 2: they won't be able to retain them or they won't

2015
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 2: pay the money to retain them. Speaking of retaining, well,

2016
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 2: the US men's national soccer team is going to have

2017
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 2: a new coach. They're not retaining Greg Burholter coming up.

2018
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to examine why, whether you like it or not,

2019
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 2: And I don't know who's contesting it. Burholter's olster was necessary.

2020
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 2: I want to remind everybody that shortly after the show,

2021
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 2: our podcast will be going up. Ian Roddy will take

2028
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 2: the air. I'm Bernie Frattle. We are company line from

2029
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tirac dot Com studios.

2030
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:47,800
Speaker 2: Keep it locked. You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show

2031
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, back on the Bernie

2032
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 2: Frattle Show. Look, the US men's national team, I don't

2033
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 2: know if they'll ever win a Cup in our lifetime.

2034
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 2: Greg Berhalter is now done and the truth of the

2035
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 2: matter is there weren't a lot of supporters in his corner.

2036
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 2: His final two matches as the US MNT manager were

2037
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 2: sort of a microcosm for why this move is so necessary.

2038
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 2: The US lost to Panama that was a shock, and

2039
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 2: they lost to a Eurrogray, a much better team a

2040
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 2: very hard fought loss. But when you get bounced early

2041
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:26,280
Speaker 2: on your own turf in Copa America, that doesn't sit

2042
01:41:26,320 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 2: well with anybody. And when your highlight in five years

2043
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 2: as a coach was a draw against England in twenty

2044
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty two, you remember that. The day after Thanksgiving the

2045
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 2: Men's World Cup. Weether Sporting director Matt Crocker was pretty

2046
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 2: blunt in his assessment. In the press release the other day,

2047
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 2: they said, quote, five years is a long time. There's

2048
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 2: been a lot of building blocks that have been put

2049
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 2: in place, and if you want to read between the

2050
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 2: lions as to what that means, thanks Greg, don't let

2051
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 2: the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

2052
01:41:55,880 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 2: So what's next? Well, you know, you got the Cup

2053
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 2: in a couple of years, you got the Olympics coming up,

2054
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 2: and they have a bunch of candidates, a bunch and

2055
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 2: they can spend what eevery money they want. But the

2056
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 2: guy they wanted, Jurgen Klopp, has already said uh no.

2057
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:13,680
Speaker 2: So we're going to continue to follow this, uh to

2058
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 2: the degree it needs to be followed. But it's a shame,

2059
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 2: all right. You know, I'll quote Pete Rose coaching a

2060
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 2: soccer team like this is like driving a stage coach

2061
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 2: at the horses. You ain't going forward. I don't think

2062
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 2: that we have the horses. I don't. They'd rather be

2063
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 2: playing football or anything else, American football. That's just the

2064
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 2: way it is, uh, and I'm going to stick to

2065
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 2: that until I'm proven. Coming up Chris Purfet's World of Soccer,

2066
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 2: But first we go back to our guy, Kevin Figures

2067
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 2: with the latest.

2068
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 6: All right, Bradie.

2069
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 10: We had a full slate of Major League Baseball action

2070
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 10: on Friday night. In the late games, we saw the

2071
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 10: Giants defeat Minnesota seven to one in Arizona, walk off

2072
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 10: Toronto five to four. Kyle Hendricks and Sunny Gray both

2073
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:55,919
Speaker 10: pitched seven innings, but it was the Cubs who outlasted

2074
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,840
Speaker 10: the Cardinals five to one. Jose L tuvea late three

2075
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,679
Speaker 10: run home run for the Astros. They defeated the Rangers

2076
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 10: six to three. The Braves defeated the Padres six to one,

2077
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 10: two home runs there for All Star and Home Run

2078
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 10: Derby participant Marcelo Sona. Garret Cole struck out seven and

2079
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 10: six innings of work, leading the Yankees over Baltimore four

2080
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 10: to one. Oakland over the Phillies six to two. You

2081
01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 10: had victories for the Mets, Rays, Reds and Kansas City,

2082
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 10: who got a home run from Bobby Wood Junior in

2083
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 10: a six to one victory over Boston.

2084
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:25,560
Speaker 6: And the WNBA.

2085
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 10: Caitlin Clark scored twenty points with thirteen assists in a

2086
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 10: fever victory over Phoenix. Asia Wilson thirty three points, eighteen rebounds,

2087
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,679
Speaker 10: five block shots for Vegas in a win over Atlanta.

2088
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 10: And a golf Ludwig Obert with a one stroke lead

2089
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 10: through the first couple of rounds at the Scottish Open.

2090
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 6: All right, back to Bernie Fredo.

2091
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Kevin. Well, there's not a dot

2092
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,800
Speaker 2: in my mind. Mister Burfett is going to have a

2093
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 2: thing or two to say about the ouster of US

2094
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 2: men's national team coach Greg Berhalter. It's time Chris Purfett's

2095
01:43:58,479 --> 01:43:59,480
Speaker 2: World of Soccer.

2096
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 3: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama. It's

2097
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,719
Speaker 3: all here in this report from the world of Soccer.

2098
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 6: Bernie.

2099
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 29: We are in for one hell of a Sunday here

2100
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 29: in the world of soccer as we get the finals

2101
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 29: for the European Championship and Copa America and two amazing

2102
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 29: heavyweight battles between England and Spain and Colombia and their

2103
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 29: historic unbeaten streak, and of course Argentina and Lionel Messi.

2104
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 29: But that all coming up in a second, because we

2105
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,919
Speaker 29: have to start here local. And you know what, Bernie,

2106
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:49,839
Speaker 29: I love to be wrong.

2107
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:53,839
Speaker 6: Some people who think that's crazy. I love to be wrong.

2108
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 29: I love to be wrong because I tend to expect

2109
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:01,600
Speaker 29: bad things out of life and sport and teams. I

2110
01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 29: end up hedging my hopes against the future, believing in

2111
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,360
Speaker 29: jinxes and all these kind of things. I do not

2112
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 29: believe the universe bends towards justice, but rather failure. Failure

2113
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 29: is human. You have to come to expect it at

2114
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 29: some point. It is the old saying vanitas vanni tadam

2115
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,240
Speaker 29: at omnia vanitas. I'm sorry for breaking out the Latin.

2116
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 29: Here all things fall. And so I sat here and

2117
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:29,680
Speaker 29: I said here on the on world of soccer that

2118
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 29: I did not think the US will move on from

2119
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 29: Greg beer Halter before the World Cup.

2120
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 6: Let me say again, I love to be wrong.

2121
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,800
Speaker 29: I love to be wrong because then I get to

2122
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 29: celebrate little moments like these and discuss the very interesting

2123
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 29: moment that is now in front of the United States team.

2124
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 29: But let me first start by talking about why Greg

2125
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 29: ber Halter had to go, because I'm seeing some revision

2126
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 29: this past revisionisms this past week. I'm hearing people talking

2127
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 29: about other others sports analysts talking about, oh, you know,

2128
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:04,960
Speaker 29: this wasn't all on Greg bur Halter, a lot of this.

2129
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 29: You know, you have fired Greg bor Halter because you

2130
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 29: can't fire the team. Let me make that one thing

2131
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 29: abundantly clear. Greg Burhlter chooses the roster for Team USA.

2132
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 29: International coaches have complete control over their rosters. So yes,

2133
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 29: by firing the coach, you are making an indictment upon

2134
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 29: the roster that that coach selected, and some of those

2135
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 29: guys that were Greg Burhlter's favorites will not be on

2136
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 29: the team going forward into the future. And let's also

2137
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 29: clear up one other thing too, about that this seems

2138
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 29: like an overreaction to a poor tournament performances. Number one,

2139
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 29: we had already had a very languid summer from Team USA,

2140
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 29: where they drew even against Jamaica, had a terrible loss

2141
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 29: to Columbia, and even before that, you could probably pin

2142
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 29: the failures from the last World Cup upon Greg Burholter,

2143
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 29: his style, his tactics, his substitute. And yet because of

2144
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 29: what happened with the rain of family and him where

2145
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 29: he was, you know, they attempted to oust him over,

2146
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:12,599
Speaker 29: trumped up weird accusations and everything else that quite honestly

2147
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 29: like there was no other option but to bring him

2148
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 29: back and see what was going to happen down the line.

2149
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 29: But these that didn't make the problems go away. Team

2150
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:23,000
Speaker 29: USA now finds itself on the precipice of needing a

2151
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 29: new coach. They've already been spurned by a couple of options.

2152
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 29: First off, the big one, the home run ball, which

2153
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 29: was Jurgen Klopp, the former manager of Liverpool, who swiftly

2154
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 29: turned any kind of interest in Team USA down. That's

2155
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 29: not surprising. Jurgen Klop would have been an absolute home

2156
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:42,680
Speaker 29: run higher. I have been of the belief that you

2157
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 29: backed the brinks up truck brings truck up for him,

2158
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:48,759
Speaker 29: or you know, whatever equivalent they might have two brings

2159
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 29: in the nation of Germany. But obviously his departure from Liverpool,

2160
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 29: and you know, I'm sure he wants to hold out

2161
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 29: for a Germany job if he has any national interests.

2162
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 29: Soon after the manager for Team Canada, who Jesse Marsh,

2163
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:08,719
Speaker 29: who was a candidate for this job back when Berhalter

2164
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 29: was hired the first time Canada, by the way not

2165
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:15,759
Speaker 29: only reaching the knockout round of Copa America but scoring

2166
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 29: a victory, came out with some rather scathing words about

2167
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 29: the US men's job. He says he has no interest

2168
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:25,439
Speaker 29: in the job, and further than that that to be fair,

2169
01:48:25,560 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 29: he says, quote to be fair, unless there's a big

2170
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:30,599
Speaker 29: shift in the organization, I don't think that I'll ever

2171
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 29: have an interest in that job in the future.

2172
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 6: Yikes.

2173
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 29: We've outlined at length the problems with the US Soccer Federation,

2174
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 29: and I think Marsh is referring to them there.

2175
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 6: So who's next I'm interested to see.

2176
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 29: I would not want to go after someone like say

2177
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 29: Jose Mourinho, who, even though I believe Mourinho is a

2178
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:57,000
Speaker 29: supreme evaluator of talent, just a man who has found

2179
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,960
Speaker 29: so many players just hidden in the haystacks out there.

2180
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 29: His defensive strategy, quite frankly, is no longer acceptable. In

2181
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 29: twenty twenty four and moving forward and listen twenty twenty six,

2182
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:10,640
Speaker 29: that there's time to go not a ton of it,

2183
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 29: but there is time to go. But so many hopes

2184
01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 29: for the US men's national team are being pinned on

2185
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,439
Speaker 29: your performance in twenty twenty six. If you are the

2186
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 29: US Federation right, this is on your home field. This

2187
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 29: is a chance for you to prove that you belong

2188
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 29: in the top twenty, top fifteen, maybe even top ten

2189
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:30,960
Speaker 29: of FIFA nations in the world out there, and that

2190
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 29: maybe you can one day compete, maybe not in twenty

2191
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 29: twenty six but soon for a World Cup title, to

2192
01:49:37,479 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 29: be the first World Cup nation outside of South America

2193
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 29: and Europe. But there's a long way to go, and

2194
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 29: you just cannot get embarrassed like you did in Copa America.

2195
01:49:47,200 --> 01:49:49,720
Speaker 29: So you have to nail this higher. But they have

2196
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:53,680
Speaker 29: to find someone who's actually interested in this job, not

2197
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 29: a yes man to the federation, and who is actually

2198
01:49:57,320 --> 01:49:59,360
Speaker 29: willing to think outside the box when it comes to

2199
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,639
Speaker 29: talent on this team and how this team wants to perform,

2200
01:50:03,080 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 29: and most important has to give Team USA a clear

2201
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 29: cut identity. You can't just talk about the talent. You

2202
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 29: have to actually have an identity, be it an attacking, tough,

2203
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 29: whatever it is. But that is what ties teams together.

2204
01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 29: The greatest teams together anyway. Now we turn our attention

2205
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 29: to euro and COPA. Let's start with Coopa. What a

2206
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 29: story Colombia has been to topple Uruguay amidst some really

2207
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:30,879
Speaker 29: ugly scenes in Miami. As Team Uruguay entered the stands

2208
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 29: to fight, Colombian fans were raining abuse down on them.

2209
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 29: Scenes out of malice in the palace here. But really,

2210
01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 29: I really like Columbia in this matchup against Argentina. Argentina

2211
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 29: has been playing, still phenomenal. They are great, but I

2212
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 29: think that the way Columbia has handled its opponents, the

2213
01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:52,439
Speaker 29: road Columbia has taken here, I just like them. James

2214
01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 29: Rodriguez is phenomenal. This is one very tough matchup if

2215
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 29: you are Argentina and you are going to need one

2216
01:50:59,640 --> 01:51:03,160
Speaker 29: last amazing miracle performance out of Lionel Messi and all

2217
01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:06,720
Speaker 29: your aging stars, and you need Emmy Martinez standing on

2218
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,640
Speaker 29: his head in goal as he has been doing to

2219
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:16,320
Speaker 29: be fair. As for Spain and England in Euros, this

2220
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 29: is the English team we have kind of been waiting for.

2221
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 6: I didn't think we'd even get to see it.

2222
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:24,160
Speaker 29: There's been plenty of criticism upon the head of Gareth

2223
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:28,719
Speaker 29: of Gareth Southgate, England really needed some miracles to pull

2224
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 29: things out, especially going down against the Netherlands. But like,

2225
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:35,840
Speaker 29: look just look at that talent out there. You've seen

2226
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 29: Harry Kane, Olie Watkins. You know, for whatever Southgate's been,

2227
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 29: that was a substitution he pulled out to get that win.

2228
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 29: Bouke Osaka has been absolutely phenomenal for the nation, for

2229
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 29: the team right now, especially here, and they will be

2230
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 29: looking to that star power against a Spanish team that

2231
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 29: has shown themselves to be one hundred percent changed from

2232
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 29: where they were in twenty twenty two, just a few

2233
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,200
Speaker 29: years ago. This was a team that got eliminated by

2234
01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:07,080
Speaker 29: Morocco in the World Cup. This is no longer the

2235
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 29: Spain that had that ideological purism of pressing possession that

2236
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 29: dominated the game for over fifteen years. No, they changed everything.

2237
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 29: As team USA should be looking to maybe think about things,

2238
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 29: and they have shown themselves to be one of the

2239
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:26,840
Speaker 29: most dangerous teams in this tournament. Will England finally bring

2240
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,719
Speaker 29: it home? Will it finally reach this mountaintop? Almost Spain

2241
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 29: once again assert why they are one of the crowns

2242
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:37,160
Speaker 29: of Europe. Personally, I am taking Spain in this matchup.

2243
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,240
Speaker 29: Let me hear your favorites for both of these, Bernie,

2244
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 29: We've got one hell of a weekend in the world

2245
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 29: of soccer.

2246
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 6: Enjoy and who.

2247
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 2: Knew you've got well? Of course, down at hard Rock

2248
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 2: Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, it'll be Columbia and Argentina,

2249
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:55,880
Speaker 2: and I guess I'll try to find out who Drake

2250
01:52:55,960 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 2: is betting on the other side. That's that's what I

2251
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 2: would do. It's really it's really a hell of a matchup.

2252
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:12,120
Speaker 2: I know that Argentina is a heavy favorite, and I

2253
01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:17,479
Speaker 2: just can't you know, you know, Columbia could put the

2254
01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 2: ball in the net. I mean, they've scored twelve goals

2255
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:23,600
Speaker 2: in this tournament, right, and they're on a heater. But

2256
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 2: I just think this Argentinian team is so good. Sometimes

2257
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,519
Speaker 2: talent prevails. I don't know. It'll be a hell of

2258
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:35,160
Speaker 2: a game to watch. Copa America our Soil Miami game

2259
01:53:35,240 --> 01:53:38,880
Speaker 2: is going to be played later on I think today

2260
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 2: at five pm Pacific time. Regardless, it'll be something to

2261
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,679
Speaker 2: watch and one can only hope that the United States

2262
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 2: is in that game someday. So look, until we get

2263
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:55,200
Speaker 2: the horses, I just I don't know what. I just

2264
01:53:55,200 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 2: don't know what to say coming up. Well, Angel Reese

2265
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 2: was recently asked about playing with Caitlin Clark. Remember a

2266
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:10,000
Speaker 2: week from tonight, a week from today, a week from tonight,

2267
01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:12,960
Speaker 2: You've got the w NBA All Star Game, And it

2268
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:15,040
Speaker 2: should be a doozy because you're going to have on

2269
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:21,240
Speaker 2: one side the people who were selected to go play

2270
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:25,800
Speaker 2: in the Olympics in Paris versus the All Stars. Right,

2271
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 2: another group of All Stars, of which Caitlin Clark and

2272
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 2: Angel Reese will be teammates. So what did Angel Reese

2273
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 2: say when she asked about the opportunity to play with

2274
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark on the same team. Six simple words, and

2275
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 2: I will share them with you. I'm Bernie Frattle. We

2276
01:54:46,840 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 2: are coming to live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

Speaker 2: Radio Tirack dot Com studios. Keep it locked right here.

2278
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 2: It's the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

2279
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:58,840

Speaker 2: this team. You guys do an excellent, excellent job. And

2293
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:55,440
Speaker 2: I want to think the callers the midnight hour is

2294
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:59,760
Speaker 2: something that's really taken off, and the callers are spirited

2295
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 2: there I think candid, and they don't pull any punches.

2296
01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 2: Now injuries typically hasn't pulled any punches. And before I

2297
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 2: say what I want to say and give you in

2298
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 2: the reveal as to the six word answer she responded

2299
01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 2: with when asked about what it would be like to

2300
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 2: play with Caitlin Clark as an All Star next week.

2301
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:23,160
Speaker 2: You know, throughout throughout the history of sports, we've had

2302
01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:28,080
Speaker 2: some good rivalries, right Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas, Muhammad

2303
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 2: Ali and Joe Frazier. You know, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, right,

2304
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:42,640
Speaker 2: Nadal and Federer, Chris Everett, Martina Navratilova, and the tension

2305
01:56:42,720 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 2: was there. They didn't have to slam each other in

2306
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:46,840
Speaker 2: the back, They didn't have to say stupid things. They

2307
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:50,080
Speaker 2: didn't have to you know, rile the rile the masses.

2308
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 2: And you know, I think of like, for instance, Mark

2309
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 2: McGuire and Sammy Sosa when they both wanted to break

2310
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:01,360
Speaker 2: Roger Morris's home run mark back in in nineteen ninety eight,

2311
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:03,040
Speaker 2: and only one could do it, but they rooted for

2312
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 2: each other and it didn't make the competition any it

2313
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:10,160
Speaker 2: did make the storyline any less interesting. And so this

2314
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 2: notion is, oh, you gotta have people hating each other

2315
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:17,360
Speaker 2: man otherwise it's not as good. That's crap. Okay, who

2316
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:19,680
Speaker 2: decided that was the case. You want to have a

2317
01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 2: healthy respect, fine, you want to win, absolutely listen. Because

2318
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:28,120
Speaker 2: of their successes on the floor, Angel Reese and Kitlin

2319
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 2: Clark are two of the most most well known figures

2320
01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:35,440
Speaker 2: in the sports world right now, and Angel Reese has

2321
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 2: the national championship. Kaitlin Clark felt just short in that area.

2322
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 2: Kitlyn Clark the all time leading scorer, and I think

2323
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 2: something managed to take off when Reese taunted her and

2324
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 2: put her hand in her face. And then since then,

2325
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,640
Speaker 2: you know what's happened. But let's fast forward to the present.

2326
01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 2: Their rivalry is something that's mentioned, you know, among the

2327
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:00,320
Speaker 2: most I would say, what's the word. I'm looking for

2328
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 2: popular rivalries that really have people in nonsports fans talking.

2329
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 2: But on this last Wednesday, Angel Reese was on a

2330
01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 2: show called NBA Today, and she did a segment to

2331
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 2: discuss her feelings with playing with Caitlyn Clark later this

2332
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 2: week or next week in the All Star Game. Six words,

2333
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 2: this is what Caitlyn, this is what Angel Reese said. Quote,

2334
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:26,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be really cool. That was awesome. Reese

2335
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 2: went on to say, I know so many fans are

2336
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 2: going to come out to watch both of us being

2337
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 2: able to be in that environment. We are going to

2338
01:58:32,160 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 2: be playing together for a while, so this is not

2339
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 2: going to be the last time. And Reese went on

2340
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 2: to say, I know we'll be All Stars again. I know,

2341
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:43,240
Speaker 2: and hopefully in twenty twenty eight will be Olympians together too. Bam,

2342
01:58:43,320 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. You want to compete between

2343
01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 2: the Lions, you want to go at it, you know,

2344
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:52,160
Speaker 2: big time, No problem. I got no problem with that,

2345
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:55,360
Speaker 2: you compete between the Lions. But I thought it was

2346
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:58,360
Speaker 2: awesome to see Reese praising Clark in this way, or

2347
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:02,200
Speaker 2: at least acknowledging the great the situation. So very heady

2348
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:04,440
Speaker 2: comment by Angel Reese, and I give her top credit

2349
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,800
Speaker 2: for it, because that's the truth. It actually is gonna

2350
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,400
Speaker 2: be really cool to see those two play on the

2351
01:59:10,440 --> 01:59:14,200
Speaker 2: same team. I can see Caitlin Clark dropping a dime

2352
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:17,400
Speaker 2: to Reese and Reese finishing it up and drawing contact

2353
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 2: and going to the line and making her free throw. Yeah,

2354
01:59:19,320 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 2: we're gonna be watching next weekend. We're just going to

2355
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,040
Speaker 2: be because that's what we do, all right. I'll be

2356
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 2: back on these airwaves Saturday night at eleven PM with

2357

2358
01:59:30,440 --> 01:59:32,240
