1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our three on this Tuesday, Dan and 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: the Dan at Stan Patrick Show. Glad to have you 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: on board, Stay a while, talk some baseball coming up. Baseball, 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: the storylines have shifted to the West Coast. When you 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: think about it, Dodgers padres is the new Red Sox Yankees. 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: When it comes to rivalry, the Giants are tied with 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Now. The Angels have maybe the most talked 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: about or maybe the second or third most talked about 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: player in the game right now, and show hey Otani, 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: they may still have the best player in the game 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Mike Trout who's batting four twenty six right now. Otani 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: is leading in home runs right now in the American League, 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: and he's also pitching and pitching well after coming back 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: from Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers are great aside for 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: their bullpen, padres are entertaining, and it feels like baseball 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: story lines are pretty much on the West Coast. Rick Sutcliffe, 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: former Cy Young Winner, former Dodger. He does Cubs games. 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up a little bit. We'll talk 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: about the seven inning nearly no hitter by Madison bum Gardner. 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure because it's a complete game. It's 22 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: a seven inning complete game, but not a no hitter. 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Sutcliffe about that, and also you 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: know his thoughts on the tatise Trevor Bauer rivalry within 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: a rivalry, so he'll join us. Coming up a little 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: dip phone calls eight seven seven three d P show 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: a DP show. Say good morning to those watching on Peacock. 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: That's a download the app you could watch for free. 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: And also our great radio affiliates around the country say 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: good morning to chat Row as well. Tim Cawacami has 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: been around San Francisco as a reporter columnist for a 33 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: long long time, and he had a tweet this morning 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: when he writes for The Athletic. He says Kyle Shannon 35 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: hand would never, ever, ever, ever ever take Lamar Jackson. 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: He thinks Drew Brees is ideal. So he says, you 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: want someone like Breeze and if he could run like Lamar, 38 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: that'd be great. Guess who Kyle Shanahan is taking the 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: guy who's like Drew Brees. And this is what I've 40 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: said from the outset, just the information I got was 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: that he was locking in on mac Jones. Now, everybody 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: looks at athleticism, you're watching justin Fields with a four 43 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: four forty yard dash, throws a great deep ball. You're 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: looking at Trey Lance that could have been a starter 45 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: major college as a linebacker, defensive back, and here he 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: is as a quarterback. Had a perfect season for North 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Dakota State two years ago, didn't throw an interception, they 48 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: won the national title. And you're trying to handicap this 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: with these three quarterbacks because Kyle or Zach Wilson is 50 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: going to be off the board and Trevor Lawrence going 51 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: to be off the board. So the Niners moving up 52 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and you're moving up. And my source at the time said, 53 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: it's mac Jones. And the only question is did you 54 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: have to give up that much to go up and 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: get mac Jones? Like that was the big question. And 56 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: at the time my source said, just so you know, 57 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: there's at least one person in the building who is 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: trying to get Trey Lance in the conversation. So this 59 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: is almost a month ago that I got this information 60 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: and it hasn't changed. Now people started to finally realize 61 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: that this is what's going to happen. Leading up to 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: the draft. Back when I brought it up, everybody's like, Oh, 63 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: there's so much time here and they're going to work 64 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: out justin fields and Trey Lance. You know, maybe they 65 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: take somebody else. Kyle Shanahan. I think, since he can't 66 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: play the position, has somebody who, if he could play 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: the position, would play it the way he would, and 68 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: he programs them. That's almost like he's created his quarterback 69 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: and that's the quarterback that he wants to coach. You know. 70 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: Kyle feels strongly that, hey, here's the game plan. I'm 71 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: going to give you two things to worry about when 72 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: you get to the line of scrimmage. That's all. That's 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: all you have to do. You know, don't have to improvise, 74 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: don't you know, keep a play alive. You know, have 75 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: some athleticism. But if you run my plays, my system, 76 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: my offense, I've made every quarterback who I've worked with successful. 77 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: You don't need to run. You just need to run 78 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: my plays. And that's why Mac Jones has been been 79 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: the quarterback and I don't think he's wavered off of that. 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: I do think that maybe John Lynch looks at Trey 81 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: Lance and says, maybe there's a higher ceiling there. This 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: is a team that's ready to win now. I mean 83 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: they're first two first downs away from winning a super 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo. If they had won that super 85 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Bowl with Jimmy Garo, would we be in this situation 86 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: right now? If the Rams had won the Super Bowl 87 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: with Jared Goff? Would we be in this situation right 88 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: now with Matthew Stafford? And I wonder that it's what 89 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: have you done for me lately? And Jimmy Garoppolo has 90 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: not stayed healthy, Therefore they're moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo. 91 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: What's going to happen, from what I'm told, is you're 92 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: going to have teams trying to get one of these quarterbacks, 93 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: and if they don't, that's when you might see something 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: that's after the first round or after the draft itself, 95 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: where Jimmy Garoppolo is traded. Now you might say, boy, 96 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: he's a great insurance policy. Okay, I mean I don't 97 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: want to pay my insurance policy twenty five million dollars 98 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: because I don't think he's capable of doing what Nick 99 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Foles did for the Eagles in leading them to a 100 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Now, he might be the quarterback on the team, 101 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: but I don't think he's capable of leading. And Nick 102 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: Foles won that Super Bowl with his arm. Yeah, mccluvin, 103 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: but I mean it was really defense that got them 104 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: the super Bowl and then running in defense like Mac 105 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: Jones is a passing guy. So did you think Shanahan 106 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: said that formula that God's Super Bowl is not enough, 107 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: we need something more. Well, you just want somebody who's 108 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: not going to make mistakes. And they do make good 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: draft picks, you know. I mean Bosa was a no brainer, 110 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: but they found Fred Warner. Kittle was I think a 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: fourth round draft pick. They've made good decisions. You got 112 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Trent Brown in there. That's a team that's ready to 113 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: compete right now. To go back to his super Bowl. 114 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: This another tweet from Tim Cawakami. Why would Kyle Shanahan 115 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: and John Lynch put themselves and the fan base through this? 116 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Them defending the premise of Jones and the fan base 117 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: going insane for a month if they weren't intending to 118 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: pick Jones. This isn't a smoke screen. There's no point okay, 119 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: but you still if you know who you're taking, then 120 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: why did you do the pro days? Go to both 121 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance Pro Days and both Justin Fields Pro Days 122 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: if you know who you're taking. So I would take 123 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: exception to what Tim is tweeting there because you guys 124 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: conducted both of those workouts with Justin Fields and Trey Lance. 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: If you have your guy, there's no need like what 126 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: are you seeing in a pro day? Maybe it's a conversation, 127 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's personality, maybe it's what you do when Here's 128 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: another thing that these coaches try to trick the draft 129 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: picks like they want to They want to know, especially 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: a quarterback, they want to know what your recall is 131 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: and if they bring up something, and then they may 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: go back and then bring up something and see if 133 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: you remember it. And from what I'm told, Zach Wilson 134 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: was off the charts. They would go in a great 135 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: way and they were like, hey, the call against Coastal 136 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: Carolina third and five, third quarter, boom and he had 137 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: the recall on that. So's there's so much that goes 138 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes and just trying to get to 139 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: this point. But if they've locked in on Mac Jones, 140 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: and that's who Kyle Shanahan wants. Like I applaud somebody 141 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: who knows who they want, because if it works out, 142 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: he's a genius. If it doesn't, we're gonna go. Yeah. 143 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Remember Kyle Shanahan, remember when he traded up to get 144 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: that guy, Mac Jones. So I mean he's the twenty 145 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: eight to three guy as well. But this is you know, 146 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: the stakes are high because how good your team is. 147 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: You know, the Jets, we don't won't know about Zach 148 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: Wilson for a while, but Mac Jones is gonna have 149 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: to be able to prove himself right away. Can you play? 150 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: And everybody in the West is good, the NFC West, 151 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: they're all good. Yeah, po I kind of like the 152 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: Rams strategy better. The Rams have a roster that's built 153 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: to win and compete. Now. I know there's a bunch 154 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: of good teams out there in the West. The Niners 155 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: also a roster it's built to win now, especially on defense, 156 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: and they're going to start over a quarterback like Matthew Stafford. 157 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: Though he's not a superstars as far as like you know, 158 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: he's not Tom Brady, he's prepared to win now. He 159 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: doesn't need, there's no learning curve of Matthew Stafford. The 160 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: Rams seemed like a better strategy, not as media friendly, 161 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, but that's that's now. They did 162 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: something in the now. The Niners are trying to win 163 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: now with drafting their future as well, and that's a 164 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: unbelievable flow. I mean, if you're able to pull that off, 165 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: you're so far ahead of you know, your counterparts in 166 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: the West. Because now I got my guy on a 167 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: rookie contract. Now I can start to fill out that 168 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: roster again, and I can keep guys when their contracts 169 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: come up. So I would rather, you know, trusting the 170 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: Niners blueprint that I draft my quarterback. I got him 171 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: for the next five years at a bargain, whereas the 172 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: Rams and I guess you could say, Matthew Stafford at 173 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: twenty five million whatever it is is a bargain in 174 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: today's NFL. But you're trying to win now, like your 175 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: windows the next two years with Matthew Stafford maybe three. 176 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: But he's never won a big game, and now he's 177 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: going to have to win not just regular season games, 178 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: he's got to win postseason games. Yeah, mclub, that could 179 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: be a tough division, because you got the Rams and 180 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: the Niners and the Seahawks. Unless you think the Seahawks 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: are ready to fall off and the Cardinals. No, I 182 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: think the Seahawks did a pretty good job. But this 183 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: is make or break year for Russell Wilson and this team. 184 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: Like I doubt that he'll be on the team next year, 185 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: but they did bring in some offensive lineman. I want 186 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: to know what Arizona does. We don't know what's happening 187 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: with Larry Fitzgerald, but are they going to go after 188 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: a wide receiver? They got aj Green quietly a couple 189 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, but you'd ever know if he'll be 190 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: healthy for them. You never know if he'll even You're right, 191 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: they definitely could get another receiver. But if you could 192 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: get DeVante Smith or Jalen Waddle out of Alabama at 193 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: that point, I mean, I'm guessing that they know what's 194 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: going to happen with Larry fitz Cheryl, Yeah, I would 195 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: imagine going into the draft, or you have to know 196 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: by the draft. You know, you got to say to Larry, 197 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: let us know, because you know that's going to change 198 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: our plans here, all right? Eight seven seven three d 199 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: P show email address DPA, Dan Patrick dot Com Twitter 200 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: handle a DP show. Chris Simms has his mock draft. Uh, 201 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: it's a little wild. He's got Mac Jones going to 202 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: San Francisco. And now keep this in mind, Kyle Shanahan 203 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: and Chris Sims are great friends. Dy have matching tattoos. 204 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: I know Kyle Shanahan says that he doesn't talk to 205 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Chris Simms. Maybe he texts with Chris Simms. Maybe he 206 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: doesn't talk. Maybe text with Chris Simms. Because Chris Simms 207 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: has been on Mac Jones from the beginning. He's got 208 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitt's going to Atlanta, Jamar Chase going to the Bengals, 209 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: Davante Smith to Miami. He's got Washington trading up to 210 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the spot with Carolina to take Trey Lance, the Cowboys 211 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: going defense Patrick Surtent, which they need to do. New 212 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: England moving up to take Jalen Waddle. This is Chris Simms. 213 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: But the big surprise was the team taking Justin Fields. 214 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: According to Chris Simms Pro Football Talk, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 215 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: the number thirty two pick overall. Okay, I got it. 216 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Simms knows something there. He's usually 217 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: pretty good at ranking these quarterbacks in order. No else 218 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: do we have here that I need to mention? We 219 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: got the poll question McLevin. Oh yeah, it's Kyle Shannon. 220 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: Too smart for his own good. Now, It's like, I 221 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: just don't think he had to give up as much 222 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: to go up there and get Mac. I don't know 223 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: who covets mac Jones the way the Niners do that. 224 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: That was my only concern with this, and that's only 225 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: and that's based off of the re action of somebody 226 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: who is scouting in this draft. They're the ones who said, 227 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: did you need to give up that much to go 228 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: get mac Jones? Who are you competing with? Yeah? You 229 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: see the Patriots name with mac Jones once in a while, 230 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: at least you did a month ago got fifteen. It 231 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: wasn't like Patriots moving up gotta have mac Jones. It's like, hey, 232 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: if he falls there, we'll take him, or justin fields. 233 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like, oh, we gotta go up and 234 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: get this guy that's like a Sabin his best friends 235 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: with Balichick. Got the connection there. I chant handed that 236 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: circle probably too, I guess, I guess yeah, Seton. It 237 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: feels like the Patriots are always floated as the rumor 238 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: that people are interested in just to raise the Oh wait, 239 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: Bill likes him. Okay, we better take this seriously. Yeah, 240 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: but you can't disprove it, right because nobody has any 241 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: information on the Patriots. So you can say whatever you want. 242 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: You know what I'm hearing the Patriots. Patriots might like. 243 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: They might like Kyle Pitts. They also might not by 244 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: Patriots like a wide receiver. Sty're clear of that guy. Yeah, 245 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: it probably won't go well there, Yes, Polly, but your 246 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: Patriots report has to couch everything. Patriots open at training 247 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: up in the draft, though some people can see them 248 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: training down my storess say they're gonna stay right where 249 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: they are. Back to you in the studio, Mike, and 250 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: you're covered. Yeah, you gotta cover it, the bombshell report 251 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: on the Patriots. But there are certain teams that are 252 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: always going to be brought up because people care about them. 253 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, what are the Steelers doing? Are they gonna 254 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: take Kenaj Harris the running back of Alabama Patriots? What 255 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: are they gonna do? Cowboys? What are they gonna do? Like? 256 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Those are the teams that always come up because that's 257 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: where you get clicks, like the Cowboys haven't done anything 258 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: in twenty years, but they get more attention than any 259 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: average team in all of sports. It's about the Cowboys. 260 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: Got to talking about the Combols are here, Jerry, Jerry 261 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: loves Kyle Pitts. So what Jerry loved Johnny Manziel until 262 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: somebody talked to him out of that. Jerry falls in 263 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: love that. Didn't you love Kyle Pitts? Okay, what are 264 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: you gonna do? No thing? I just love Kyle Pitts. 265 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: He's a leader. Yes, mclough. Remember when he took that 266 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: guard Zach Martin over Johnny Manziel. How out of character 267 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: that was. Well people at the draft, Well, I think 268 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: somebody said to Jerry, no, no, we don't want Johnny Manziel, 269 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: we're not taking Johnny Manziel. Would Patrick certain be the 270 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: boring pick that they should make this year? That? Have 271 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: you've been calling that since February? Yes, yes, you know 272 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: I think he'll be the first defensive player off the board. Yes. 273 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: But the guy we were talking about a little bit 274 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: in here who were really interested in is the running 275 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: back from Clubs and Travis Etienne. Everyone knows him. He's 276 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: kind of like a luxury item. Because you know, at 277 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: the end of the draft, remember the Kancy Chiefs took 278 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: Clyd Edward Hilaire. Yeah, it feels like the same kind 279 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: of pick. Yeah, because he could do a lot return 280 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: game receiving. You know, it's fantastic, But we've gotten used 281 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: to him. He's been around college football for a long time. 282 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: At the end, but if you were if he somehow 283 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: was available for a team like Tampa Bay or a 284 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: team like Baltimore who has a they both have offenses already, 285 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: but can you imagine that's a kind of team that 286 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: could it's worth the risk. Even though you don't like 287 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: paying running backs first round salary. Yeah, you don't want to, 288 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh may take you know, running back, but I 289 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: would show up that offensive line. You got to build 290 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: from inside out. There's no team that's had success in 291 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: the NFL, at least in recent history in my mind, 292 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: that you start from the outside in and that's your 293 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: skill position. Guys in Now you have to have your quarterback, 294 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: but I have to have an offensive line. Look at 295 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: what the Kansas City Chiefs did. They bols through the 296 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: offensive line. Because of what happened in the Super Bowl. 297 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: Now they're probably the favorites to go back to the 298 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in the AFC. Yeah, mcclem I like what 299 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: you said about how running back can be like a 300 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: safety blanket for a quarterback, help him get some completions. Yeah, 301 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo has been linked to ETN if he falls there 302 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: because they don't have any running back. I know Josh 303 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: Allen can do whatever he wants anyway, but isn't it 304 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: nice for a quarterback have a guy who can really 305 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: trust in that spot? Oh it's see. That's why when 306 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: the Giants took sae Quon Barkley, I thought, Okay, they 307 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: think they can win a super Bowl now they had Eli, 308 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: but Eli was going to need help there. And I thought, 309 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,479 Speaker 1: if sa Quon Barkley does what we think he's going 310 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: to do, which I think, by all accounts he did 311 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: the first year, nobody else did. They spent all that 312 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: money on defense, and the defense was terrible. But I 313 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: don't know, nobody has mentioned sa Quon Barkley. I don't 314 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: know how healthy is. I don't know what role he's 315 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: going to play. I don't know if it matters with 316 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: the Giants, but you know that running back, I mean, 317 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: he may be the last running back taken in the 318 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: top five in a long long time, because I'm trying 319 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: to think what kind of running back could could emerge 320 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: where you go, Oh my god, he's a game changer, 321 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: Like Leonard Fournette went four overall and we thought he 322 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: was a game changer, but he wasn't. But I don't 323 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: know if you're gonna have a running back taken in 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: the top five top ten anytime soon. Yeah, MC club 325 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey has been amazing, But I don't know that 326 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: he would even go as high as it was he 327 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: eight or something. Hey, I don't I don't know if 328 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: you had him redrafted, is he a top ten pick? 329 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he is. But we see 330 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: the importance of him to that offense there, but I 331 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: do I don't know if he's a top ten pick. Yeah. 332 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: If you look just at the seventeen draft, Fournette was 333 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 1: taken with the fourth pick overall. You could have had 334 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook in round two, Joe Mixon in round two, 335 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara round three, Kareem Hunt in round three, James 336 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Connor in round three. James those guys have had better 337 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: careers equal to or better careers than they're dirt cheap. Yeah, alright, 338 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Yeah, mcluve, you have something, it 339 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: gets a grain theory, I could save it. Well, well, 340 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: you can give it to us. Then. The same thing's 341 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: been happening with wide receivers. It feels like the second 342 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: the later wide receivers are just as good as early 343 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: wide receivers. So maybe you don't have to take that 344 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: either for the same exact reason we just set for 345 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: running backs. Is that the against the grain? Yeah, just 346 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: like why would you take DeVante Smith? You don't even 347 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: get music, you know, I don't need it for that, 348 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: But like, why would you take Waddle or Smith at 349 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: six when you can get justin. Don't you have an 350 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: over under? Yes? I do have some against the grain 351 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: over unders. By the way, all right, let me let 352 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: me take a break. We'll get to that coming up. 353 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: So what are your over unders for the draft? I 354 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: can just tell you name a player like Trey Lance, 355 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: what is the over under on where he will go? 356 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: And you can open yeah the prop bets.

Obviously 404 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: it's all about my partner and my wife carried us 405 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: and the two songs that I picked for our wedding 406 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: that carried her down the aisle were both by Elvis 407 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: um the Hawaiian wedding song and Can't help falling in 408 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Love with You? Did you cry? Well? I was worried 409 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna say I do when she heard the 410 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: songs that I Did you cry when she walked down 411 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: the d Did you cry during the ceremony? Uh? No, 412 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: I cried. You know what I was. I was bothering 413 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: like a baby when our daughter got married. And I 414 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: know you can relate to that. Yep, Yeah, no I was. 415 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: I think I was pretty hung over h during the ceremony, 416 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: as as I was yesterday when I wasn't able to 417 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: join you guys. Oh that's why you didn't join us? Yeah, 418 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: because I said, I said it. Let see, I said, 419 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: reach out to Sutcliffe. See if he wants to join us. 420 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know which days you were drinking and which 421 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: ways days you weren't. So that's that's our mistake there. Um. Yeah, 422 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: it's a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or no alcohol because we 423 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: played the role of grandpa the first three days of 424 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: the week. All right, these seven inning complete game but 425 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: not no hitter by Madison Bumgardner. Is this good for 426 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: baseball that they're not going to recognize it? Should they 427 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: recognize it as a no hitter? Yes? I think it 428 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: was terrific for baseball last year with everything that was 429 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: going on, just trying to get the games in, trying 430 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: not to hurt people, particularly extending the starters and over 431 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: using the bullpen, and as long as they kept it 432 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: the same this year, Dane, it has to be. And 433 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: if they take that away from him, I mean, if 434 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: they give him a no hitter, who's that You think 435 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan gonna get mad? No? I mean the only 436 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna hurt is him and the fans that 437 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: were there that had the opportunity to experience it. And 438 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: then you know how I feel, you know, I think 439 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: the record book is, in my opinion, kind of a joke. Anyway, 440 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: the record for all time home runs is seven fifty five. 441 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: The single season record is sixty one. There's a lot 442 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: of things in there that shouldn't be there. I just 443 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: don't think this no hitter is one that should be 444 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: taken away. Yeah. I just wondered about that because it's 445 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: it's one thing for us to say because we didn't 446 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: play the game at that high of a level. But 447 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if bum Gardner cares. I mean, knowing him, 448 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: he probably doesn't care. First of all, record he doesn't. 449 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: We know that. Yeah, so when it comes to hey, 450 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: it's a no hitter, you can't call it a complete game. 451 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: But you can't call it a no hitter, Like is 452 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: it a complete game? Well, what is a complete game? 453 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: What's a seven inning complete game? Well, then it's a 454 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: seven inning hitter. That's a complete game. So I know 455 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: we get caught up in semantics there. But you know, 456 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: the new baseball rules, at least Baseball is staying in 457 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: the conversation. The NFL always stays in the conversation because 458 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: of new rule changes, and I think with baseball, I 459 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: don't know if it's progress, but it is dialogue, and 460 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: I think that that's important for people to talk about baseball. 461 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's your livelihood, but you know you're competing. 462 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: It's it's tough sledding with trying to compete with football, 463 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs coming up, and you know baseball sort 464 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: of you know, hangs there in the on deck circle. 465 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: You're exactly right, Dan, I mean, you're you're looking to 466 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: add that excitement and now you're saying by rule you're 467 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna take it away. The funny part about it. As 468 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: you were saying that, I was thinking, you know, it 469 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: barely qualifies for a quality start. Yeah, you just got 470 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: one inning more than what that is. And a couple 471 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: of years ago, we were in La Books Ambie and 472 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,239 Speaker 1: I and we were blessed Jackie Robin Rachel Robinson threw 473 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: about the first pitch Sandy kofax Escortor and when they 474 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: came in, Sandy I had known since I was an 475 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: eighteen year old kid back in Vero Beach. He was 476 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: kind enough to come in and sit down with us, 477 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: and I asked him. We were talking to Clayton Kershaw 478 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: was on the mallon and about the comparison and everything, 479 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: but I asked him about a quality start with six 480 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: innings and three year and runs are less, and he goes, Rick, 481 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: I always thought a quality start was at the end 482 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: of the game when I shook the catcher's hand, which 483 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: he did hit quite a few times. He certainly did. Yeah, 484 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: But to your point, that's exactly how a lot of 485 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: things have changed, and I just think we all need 486 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: to evolve with it. Dan, I go back to I 487 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: think it's been so long the old six World Series, 488 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: the one between I had to be O eight Philadelphia 489 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay. And if you remember, the Phillies were 490 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: about to win. It was hailing, it was cold. They 491 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: needed to call the game and they didn't want to 492 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: because the Phillies had a one run lead and they 493 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: were going to be crown champions. Because the game had 494 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: gone five innings. I'm doing the game with Jerry Thorne 495 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: on MLB International. We get word from Major League Baseball 496 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: they changed the rule during the game. They said that 497 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: we're not going to let it in this way, We're 498 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna pick it up from here and continues. So you know, 499 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: these rules are constantly changing. Let Bum have his no hitter, 500 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: and to your point, he didn't care anyway. We're talking 501 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: to Rick Sutcliffe Cubs, Marquee Sports Snetwork analysts. It feels 502 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: like the rivalry has shifted to the West Coast with 503 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: Dodgers Padres. That's the new Red Sox and Yankees. You 504 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: got the Dodgers playing well, you got Shoho Tani with 505 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: the Angels playing well. Mike Trout bat in four twenty 506 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: six Giants tied for first place with the Dodgers. Feels 507 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: like baseball is alive and well on the West Coast. Well, 508 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: as you know, Dan, I've been here in San Diego 509 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: since spring training got shut down in the middle of 510 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: March last year. Getting on the first plane this weekend 511 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: to fly back to Chicago to do some games from 512 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. Feeling the excitement here with the San Diego Padres. 513 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: Fernando Tattas Junior, a guy you just can't take your 514 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: eye off. People talk about Manny Machado helping Tatis. I 515 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: think it's the other way around. I think that Machado 516 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: knows Tatised is watching everything he does, and because of that, 517 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: he's even taken his game to another level. It's exciting, 518 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: you know. It's just that I'm so glad, more than 519 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: anything I did on ESPN Radio. I did the Division 520 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: series between the Cardinals and the Padres. It was here, 521 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: they played it at Peco. The Padres came back to 522 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: win Game two. In Game three, the excitement in the 523 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: city was amazing. But if that ballpark could have been packed, 524 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: the excitement that Tatis Junior inks to a game and 525 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: what's going on with this team, that's the exciting part, 526 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, with all the good things going on right now, 527 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: the game's just not the same without fans. And hopefully, 528 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: slowly but surely, we're gonna we're gonna get him all back. Okay. Now, 529 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: I know that there's old school and you know when 530 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: you're era and when you pitched. If Tatis did what 531 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: he did to Trevor Bauer and he did that to you, 532 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: how would you have reacted. I'll give you a story. 533 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty three or four. Reggie Jackson takes me deep 534 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: and he does something like that, and I mean I 535 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: literally looked at him all the way around, you know, 536 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: the diamonds he strolled And as I came in, Burt 537 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: Blyleven comes up and he goes, what's wrong? And I go, 538 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill him. I go, I'm gonna kill him. 539 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit him right in him out anyway. He 540 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: let me go on inning because Reggie wasn't coming up. 541 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: And then Burt came to me in the dugout and 542 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: he goes, let me tell you something. He's gotten me 543 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: four or five times. He said, over five hundred home runs. 544 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: He's earned the right to do whatever he wants. And 545 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna tell you, and it's really your 546 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: fault because you're the reason I feel like that ESPN 547 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: hired me. Um. You remember Opening day, I'm sitting in 548 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: the bleachers. Sandberg came back and you started Sports Center 549 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: with two former Cubs returned to Rigley. You show Sandberg 550 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: getting a base hit, and you show me in the 551 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: book then with a beer, this big chugging down and 552 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: because uses that at ESPN goal, well, let's bring him in. 553 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: And then then you told the story about Grandpa's tie, 554 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: which I will for the rest of my life trying 555 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: to repay you for being able to mention that. But 556 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: I just I forgot your question. Now let you throw 557 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: Are you you're not drinking right now? Right? I'm not. 558 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: I got a little coffee cup, Okay, I just want 559 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: to make sure. Um, if if if Tatias did that 560 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: to you, you would probably pop him. But Bowers said, hey, 561 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: look I get it, man. I I celebrate and he celebrates. 562 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: It feels like you need a whole younger generation to 563 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: embrace this, not worried about old school. Remember when when 564 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: Ken Griffey Junior had his hat on backwards and people 565 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: the oldest school cool. They were like, they were like, 566 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: turn your hat around, you know you right, Like we've 567 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: come a long way since that. But I just wonder 568 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: if that kind of celebration can continue. Will pitchers allow 569 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: that to happen. Well, then, to your point and to 570 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: go back to me saying it was your fault. It 571 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: all started with the ESPN, and I had to adjust 572 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: because of what Sports Center was doing when we When 573 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: you would start Sports Center, you would start off with 574 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: somebody hitting a home run and doing we're hoping to 575 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: see tattis and major League Baseball has to be hoping 576 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: for that to bring me young kids to get more. 577 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: I've got my eight year old grandson playing baseball. Now 578 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: they're having a ball. We need more and more of that. 579 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: But I really think all of those theatrics and everything 580 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: that goes on with a home run. Now. The sports 581 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: Center started all of that, and baseball needs the attention 582 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: because we know what's going on with kids in basketball 583 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: and football. We've got to bring a lot more of 584 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: that our way in any way that we can. What 585 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: would you do with sho hey Otani. I think for 586 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: him to be elite, it comes down to him being 587 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: on the mountain. I think that it's more important for 588 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: him to be a number one or number two to 589 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: the Angels than it is for him to hit in 590 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: that lineup. This is a special thing. And I'll be 591 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: honest with Up until this first month of the season, 592 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: I thought he was just okay as a hitter. I 593 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: thought what made him elite was as a pitcher. It's 594 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: it's not that way. This guy can fly around the basis. 595 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a he's a super talent that 596 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: I just think you have to take care of him 597 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: as a pitcher first, and when you can use his 598 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: bat in the line up or pitch it with him whatever, 599 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: that's fine. But I just think it's special what he 600 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: does out there on amount and that, more than anything, 601 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: to me, is what the Angels need. Yeah, I just 602 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: wonder that is it's gonna be sort of half in 603 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: and half out. It's like Bo Jackson when Bo played 604 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: baseball and football and you wondered if he committed to one, 605 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: you know what, he had been a Hall of Famer, 606 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: And I wonder that with Otani, if you just said, look, 607 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: just concentrate on pitching and you know, or just concentrate 608 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: on hitting. I just wonder, try to do both if 609 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: he's going to be able to do that well and 610 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: we'll reach his full potential. I think he's got the 611 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: perfect guy making those decisions. And Joe Madden. Joe's such 612 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: a great communicator. I know you've had him on the show. 613 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 1: You learn something every single time you're around him. And 614 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure that that that conversation with with Otani goes 615 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: on daily. You know, where you at, how are you 616 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: feeling everything is penciled in other than every fifth day 617 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: on what his schedule is going to be. It's great 618 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: to talk to your son. Safe travels there, and uh 619 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: have fun.

Listen at the three 664 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: and Out podcast with me John Middlecop on the iHeartRadio app, 665 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. I know 666 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,280 Speaker 1: the Angels have show Hey Otani and he's a fabulous tallent. 667 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: You have Mike Trout who's batting four twenty six. I 668 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: still look back on the Albert Poohole's deal. In the 669 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: first ten seasons with the Cardinals, three MVPs, he was 670 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: in the top five for MVP ten times, nine All Stars, 671 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: six seasons with forty or more home runs. He hit 672 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: four hundred and forty five home runs over ten seasons, 673 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 1: batting average three twenty eight, and they paid him ninety 674 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: five million dollars. He's a first ballot Hall of Famer 675 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: by the age of thirty. In the ten seasons with 676 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: the Angels, zero MVPs, top five MVP zero times, one 677 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: All Star game, one season, forty or more homers, He's 678 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: hit two hundred twenty two home runs in those ten seasons, 679 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: batting average two fifty six, and they paid him two 680 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. Stat of the Day. Stat 681 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: of the Day that past stat of the day, stat 682 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: of the day he comes that what stat of the day? 683 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: I remember when the Angels signed him and people thought. 684 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: The reaction we were on the doing the show. The 685 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: reaction was, what are the Cardinals thinking? And at the 686 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: time I believe I said, you got the ten best 687 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: years of his career, and you got a bargain for 688 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: And now the Angels had to overpay to get him. 689 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't know who else they were competing with to 690 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: get Albert Pooholes, but I said, the only way that 691 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: you validate this deal is that you win a World Series. 692 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: And you know that's not that hasn't happened. But Albert 693 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: Pooholes is one of the great players of all time. 694 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: But that's one of those first ten years, last ten years. 695 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: Big difference between those two. And that's why you get 696 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: these contracts. And when you lock somebody in, you say, oh, 697 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: we got them locked in for twelve years. Well you 698 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: might look at that as a positive. I look at 699 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: it as a negative. I don't don't I want you 700 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: to keep proving yourself because you get locked in. And 701 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: it just whether conscious or subconscious, I don't. I just 702 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 1: don't know if you're as hungry proving yourself because hey, 703 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: I got my salary, you know, guaranteed, you know, so 704 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: I that would concern me, not that pooh holes, you know, 705 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: kind of mailed it in. I just think that, you know, 706 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: he wore down. I mean, those are ten incredible years. Yeah, Paul, 707 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: it seems like the new mentality has give them the 708 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: big contract earlier so you get their prime years. It's 709 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,839 Speaker 1: Fernando Tatisques Junior. I think he's twenty two years old 710 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: and he's got a fourteen year deal. He'd be thirty 711 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: six when it ends. That's at least reasonable, it's not 712 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: forty one. Yeah, I just don't want to give it 713 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: to you. When you get to thirty and I'm giving 714 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: you a ten year deal, then that's not going to 715 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: turn out well for anybody. This day in sports history, PAULI, 716 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: what do you have. It's kind of a light one, 717 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go. This day in NFL Draft history, 718 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: April twenty seventh, twenty seventeen, the Chicago Bears trade up 719 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: to get the number two pick in the draft. They 720 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 1: could have any quarterback on the entire board. It's theirs 721 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 1: to choose from. They go risky and a couple picks later, 722 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: Kanzi Chiefs trade up to get Patrick Mahomes in the 723 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: ten spot. Houston Texans get DeShawn Watson in a trade 724 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: at the twelfth spot. That's this day and Drew.

Mac Jones 730 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: is a confusing third overall pick in the draft, and 731 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: the draft is all about misdirection, right, So what if 732 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco is blowing all this smoke up about Mac 733 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: Jones to make the Jets rethink drafting Zach Wilson and 734 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: the Jets are like Kyle Shanahannanson's genius? Did they see 735 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: something we don't? And then the Jets draft Mac Jones 736 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: and San Francisco gets the guy that really wanted and 737 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson about all right, thank you, James, I don't 738 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: think that's happening, but thank you for suggesting that you 739 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: got some prop bets.

It seems like a pretty good 750 00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: that's a well placed well because the Steelers are twenty four. Um, 751 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: I'll go over.
