Everybody gangs 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.080 all here ready to go. Coming up a little bit 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:13.320 of Harold Reynolds, MLB Network analyst, former Gold Glove winner, 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.520 knows nothing about home runs, but we'll talk about the 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:20.400 home run derby if I gave you Shoho Tani or 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:25.000 the field tonight. And also are the astros playing the 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.560 role of victims? So Harold will join us coming up, 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.360 Reggie Miller will join us, coming up next hour. Best 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.080 and worst of the weekend is we always do every Monday. 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.239 What you like? You didn't like? Dial us up each 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.839 seven seven three DP show. I think we settled on 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.360 a poll question. Mclovin. Yeah, well, it's the biggest event 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.560 of the weekend. Number one is Italy beating England. Number 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.959 two sell the Joker, but it's all pretty close. After that. 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.839 The Bucks Suns game is in there McGregor, Poyer and 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.160 also the Copa Argentina Beach Brazil. Now I don't pay 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.520 for UFC fights. I'll watch the highlights when they're done. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.040 But to gear up for the evening on Saturday night, 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.679 thinking you're going to see Poorier and McGregor and it's 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.800 going to be one of those great contests, and then 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:12.319 McGregor breaks his leg. McGregor was saying that poorier, I 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.240 think was going to go out on a stretcher. Turns 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.679 out it was McGregor who went out on a stretcher. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.120 You know, you go back to what was the first 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.840 match between these two twenty fourteen and McGregor one, I 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.520 think a couple of minutes in. I don't think he's 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.200 gotten better. I think he's just a great marketer. And 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:34.119 I see a lot of Ronda Rowsey and Connor McGregor, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.160 because I think Ronda Rowsey was a wonderful you know, 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.520 started out like, oh my god, you can't beat her. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.440 She's dominating, and then all of a sudden there were 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.040 other fighters who got better than her, Like she became 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.880 a celebrity. Remember when she got knocked out by Holly Holme, 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.760 We're like, whoa, It's like Tyson, you know, got knocked 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:58.320 out in Tokyo by Buster Douglas. Well, Connor McGregor has 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.240 made a lot of money and he's great at marketing. 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.480 In fact, he was trying to promote his next fight 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.440 while I think he was on the canvas with a 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.840 broken leg, but he's won three of his last seven fights. 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.720 He's overrated, Well, he just is, and he got beat 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.560 by a better fighter. Jorrier is a better fighter who's 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:26.000 evolved and gotten better. Connor McGregor hasn't. Well, he's I 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.560 think he goes in with this bravado like, oh, you're 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.840 gonna back down. Well after a while you go m 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.079 kind of like Tyson. Tyson went in the ring and 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.920 you're like, oh my god, and then you withstand. You know, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.920 the first couple of rounds you survived, then you beat him, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.440 and with Connor McGregor breaking his leg, I'm sure he'll 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.640 be back and you know, I guess they're gonna fight again. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:54.280 But I look at McGregor's he's washed. To me, Yeah, Paul, 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.040 maybe someone today should come up with a business fight 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.360 insurance where if a fighter is injured in the restaurant 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.760 and can't continue, but injured like a weird freak accident, 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.919 you buy fight insurance and you get your money back. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.280 Some company couldn't get a couple actuaries going and self 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.280 fight insurance. Yeah, good luck that Dana White. I'm sure 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.960 he's gonna love to give you money. Back. Oh yeah, 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.399 it sounds great. Yeah, Paulie, I love your idea. All 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.960 you do is charge enough where that if it comes 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.480 out your way in the fight havens you get all 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.480 the insurance money. All right? So we got a poll 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.760 question here. Your phone calls are always welcome. No series 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.200 lead in the twenty twenty one playoffs is safe in 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.920 part because you don't know which teams are healthy. You're 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.040 gonna stay healthy. But beyond that, it feels like, you know, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.920 everybody's evenly matched. And the Suns looked like they were 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.480 in great shape. They won the first two games, Bucks 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.160 came back, they dominated at the end of the first 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.240 half and then the end of the third quarter to 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.280 blow out the Phoenix Suns. Jani's got forty one leading 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.240 the way. Chris Paul and Devin Booker never really got going. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.600 DeAndre Ayton looked pretty good, but he couldn't stay out 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.080 of foul trouble because he's trying to guard the Greek freak. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.440 So what's the key to the rest of the series. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.680 And maybe it's energy, Maybe it's a sense of urgency, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.480 maybe it's just being aggressive. I always like this. I 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.480 find it amusing. I should say whenever a coach loses 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.359 a game in a playoff series NBA Finals, he'll say, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:27.000 all the other team was just more aggressive. Okay, if 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.640 that's the If that's all it is, then Milwaukee just 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.760 be more aggressive in the next game and then you win. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.479 Or why doesn't Monnie Williams say, Hey, guys, let's be 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.159 more aggressive out there. Here is the head coach of 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.680 the Suns talking about the Bucks being more aggressive. They 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.760 played with a great deal of aggression for longer stretches 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.560 than we did, and we knew it was coming. We 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.920 did not respond to it well tonight, especially in the 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.920 second and third quarters. Were they saving their aggression in 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.520 games one and two, like they Hey, we're gonna save 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.960 up our aggression for Game three. As you move forward here, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.520 you know, Chris Paul Devin Booker aren't going to stay 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.000 quiet for long. But you know, the NBA Finals got 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.679 a lot more interesting last night with what the Greek 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:22.560 freak did. I find him fascinating to watch, but and 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.080 when I watch him, I get frustrated as well, because 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.640 I would love for him to get up there and 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:35.240 just shoot your free throw, don't think so much, And 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.920 he's going through this mental maze of okay, and then 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.960 dribble and man, I got that, and then I got that, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.360 and I got that. You saw this with penalty kicks yesterday. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.560 The younger guys for England. You start to think, and 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.080 the worst thing an athlete can do is think. They react. 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.360 That's what makes them so great. They've thought leading up 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.240 to when they have to react. If I'm Yannis or 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.360 if I was coaching Jannis, I would say, just go 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.960 up there and shoot your free throw. Don't be thinking. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.280 If you're thinking and you're shooting that bad, how about 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.279 you don't think, because maybe that would be a different approach. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.440 And the other part of this is, I don't you 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.400 don't need to prove that you can shoot a three, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.400 because you know what, you can't shoot a three. But 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.400 I would if you, I would have the Achem Elijahwan approach. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.479 Akeem was a wonderful maybe fifteen eighteen foot, but he 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.719 could beat you off the dribble. Yannis is a far 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.920 more elusive player outside getting to the hoop than a 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.040 chem One was, and am one of my favorite players 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.359 of all time. I would just have the Greek freak 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.880 down low and I would say, you want to double him? Now? 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.560 It's up to Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday to hit 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.839 these shots or Brook Lopez, that would be my approach. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.240 I don't want the Greek freak to dribble the ball 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.640 up because you know what happens. Then all I do 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.560 is set up the wall like Miami did in the 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.839 post season, like Phoenix did. And you know, the first 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.640 couple of games, I don't want you to be able. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.200 I want I want my guy to dictate what you do. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.840 And I said this in the first hour. I don't 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.679 care if Shack hit a jumper or Kareem hit a jumper, 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.440 will tit a jumper. Do what you do great, don't 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.840 water it down by doing things that you don't do 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.720 well and get them in foul trouble, and let make 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.920 eight and guard you. And then if you're able to 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.960 send it out to the perimeter, it's up to those 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:36.520 guys to make shots. But you're watching him and it 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.280 feels it's frustrating for me because he can be the 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.040 best player in the sport. Now. He's been an MVP twice, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.000 so that's obvious. But I don't think he's generally viewed 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.240 as the best player in the sport, the most valuable Okay, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.760 that's always up for debate. But I think if you 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.600 put him in positions to succeed, then there's nobody like him, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.280 no one. But it feels like, hey, I'm gonna put 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.400 him on the perimeter, he's gonna dribble the ball up 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.560 to me. It just doesn't seem like you're taking advantage 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.640 of all the great things that he does and then 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.960 shooting the free throws. That's just something that he's mentally 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.960 gonna have to figure out. It's like Sergio Garcia is 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.000 one of the wonder he's one of the great ball 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.200 strikers ever. But remember he'd get over the ball and 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.600 need grip, and then he regrip, and they grip and 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.800 then regrip and here you get, okay, just made it worse, 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.040 and then all of a sudden he just got up there. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.520 Now it's it's a lot more comfortable, and he hits 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.520 the ball great. But you know, you get to the line, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.959 you start thinking and you become mechanical. It's not good. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.360 But what you saw last night, like these are impressive numbers. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.480 Whenever you see lebron shack and the Greek freak, you go, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.240 what must have been a pretty good night. It's rare 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.920 when you go, hey, I'm up there with these guys. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.560 And I didn't have a great knight because he did. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.320 And my approach would be I would just get him 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.360 the ball down low. You want to double now, my 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.760 guys got to hit jumpers. They hit jumpers. Now, you 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.360 can't double him. I'm gonna put eighton in foul troup. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.960 Nobody can guard him. He's just so elusive down low. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.280 Nobody can guard him. I don't want him on the perimeter. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.080 All right, Matt in Ohio, Hey Matt, what's on your 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.720 mind today? All right? Dan har sins Red is my 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.960 best of the weekend. Baby took three out of four 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.960 from the Brewers, six games over five hundred, only four 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:33.320 back going into the All Star break. And I got 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.240 a quick fishing story. Okay, you should be very thankful 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.600 that that hook was barblous. Oh I know I had 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.800 I hooked my face when I went fly fishing. I 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.959 told the harrowing story of my fly fishing trip to 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:52.360 Montana and I somehow survived. Yes, man, I've got a 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.760 similar story that was quite as happy of an ending. 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.520 I was in Sarasota fishing with with like a saltwater 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.599 lure that had these sharp t bubled on him the 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.559 head barb and I got stuck in a tree and 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.040 I'm trying to rip it out of there, and he 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.240 came back and I got two troubles in my knee 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.079 and I got a thirteen hundred dollars medical bill for 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.880 my free vaycase. Then wow, but yeah, yeah, I mean 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.400 like fishing's a contact sport. Yes, thank you man, thank you. Yeah. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.760 But my brother got the worst of it. He fell 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.520 out of a boat and hit a rock and had 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.120 to get seven like he got staples. What's what's the 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:32.080 difference between stitches and staples. They're much more popular days 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.040 these days. They just pop them in. It seems like 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.440 staples are the thing. Oh they are more of a 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.760 hard plastic yea a than a twine. Okay, yeah, sue. 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.960 So is staples than an indication of a more severe 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.040 injury or is it just a more convenient type of 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.840 stitched like you know they have. Now, my son got 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.920 smashed in the face and he had to get stitches, 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.600 but instead they just used the glue. Yeah, you've seen 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.720 that where they just have basically like a glue and 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.640 they glued his face back together and then it's like, okay, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.040 now you're all set. Well that's what we suggested from 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.360 my brother. It's just slaps some glue on because I 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.080 was to catching fish. Yeah, I you know when now 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.000 I had to go to the emergency room and Butte 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.640 Montana to get my brothers stapled up. I don't know. 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.680 It doesn't this sound more impressive when you're getting stitched? 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.680 Oh yeah, you know I got staples? Yeah, put Yeah, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.839 a couple things that here. Staples are easier to put 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.160 in and out, according to web MD than stitches. But 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.720 the glue thing is the worst because when you're a kid, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.760 or whenever you have a story, like if your brother 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.520 told a story, he can't say I had a seven 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.520 inches of glue put on my head, you want to 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.040 have the number of stitches or staples because the more 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.240 the number is the worst injury. Was Yeah, it's more 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.360 about the story, yes, and you need a number to 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.240 go with it. Yeah, ye yeah, it's like how many stitches? 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.120 Was that? Like three squeezes of the glue, three like 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.280 squeezes half a tube of super pop. It's like twelve 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.280 stitches though, okay, each squeeze is like four stitches. They 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.480 call it skin glue. It's an alternative to staples or stitches. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.319 Yes do. It's like saying you had knee surgery versus 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.200 you know, you got your knee taped up. There's just 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.160 two drastically different sounding things. I thought to me, staples 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.439 sounded worse, like you gotta like I'm picturing an actual 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.360 stapler and they're hitting the bag head to keep your 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.520 getting your skull closed. Yeah, but you know, he somehow 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.120 survived and went fishing the next day. By the end 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.400 of the evening, so we have to take my brother 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.320 to the emergency room. He gets all stapled up, and 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.160 then by then we went back and had dinner. By 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.320 the end of the night, I think he said that 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.120 he had had like forty one stitches. Like he just 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.960 kept adding stitches too, whenever he tell the story to 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.960 somebody else here, yep, got twenty four stitches, and they're 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.480 like and then after a while, I'm like, wait, why 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.040 are you keep adding like seven stitches every time? Somebody asked, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.000 And then I said, there's staples. They're not stitches, you know. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.560 According to a couple other websites, staples lower risk of 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.640 infection than a suiture that wounds heal better. Fewer issues 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.559 with scarring. They also let the doctor get into areas 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.840 that are hard to get too for suituring. But sutures, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.800 you want a scar, the scar is a story. Yeah yeah, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.160 I mean I secretly was hoping I hooked myself in 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.360 the face and I thought it'd be nice if I 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.360 had a scar coming back. But uh yeah, not not 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:19.840 that lucky pulled. I pulled it out and pulled the barbelous. Okay, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:27.240 my fly that was there. I'm a man. Do you 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.520 kind of wish that the hook was barbed? It sounds more? 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.040 Oh no, because my guide said, you know, that could 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.720 have gone all the way through and then they'd have 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.280 to take it out from the other side, and this 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.920 would have been a really big deal. Uh but you know, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.960 when you're casting your fly in the wind, you know, 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.160 bad things can happen. And it came back and smacked 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.720 me right in the face. Uh. Ted And oh, Ted, 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.480 and Tampa, I should say, and then we'll take a break. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.679 Harold Reynolds will join us coming up a little bit, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:04.360 Hey Ted, Hey Dan twice I got a good two 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:09.320 best for you. Okay, first Bartie Party, banful cancels a 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.480 check at Wimbledon and in second the first time and 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.960 reported sports history. The same day that the city's hockey 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.320 league team won the Stanley Cup their baseball team through 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:28.200 a no hitter. Okay, well that's thank you, Ted. I 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.640 think the odds of that happening are are very remote 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.800 because you'd have to have a hockey team in a 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.640 baseball town. But by the way, congrats on the lightning. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.520 Lightning due strength twice and they were the far better 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.760 team against Montreal. But I saw, I saw where they 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.960 have a dive team in case the lightning throw the 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.440 Stanley Cup into the water. So just you know, with 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.320 what happened with Brady, I think that they have a 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.000 dive team on hand. How about to enter tube around 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.680 the cup? No, that's no, you've got of danger. The 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.040 got of danger there. And plus hockey players, I mean, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.560 who knows how good those hands are when and those guys, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.200 I think they're all going to look like Brady. And 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.640 by the end of that it's gonna be like Gilligan's 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.720 Island started out a three hour cruise, three hour tour 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.600 and then ended up years later with those guys. All right, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.920 we'll take a break. Harold Reynolds will join us. We'll 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.800 talk a little bit about baseball at the break, and 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.520 if I gave you a showho Tani or the field 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.960 for home run Derby and are the Astros playing the 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.920 role of victims? Take a break.

Dan. I'll tell you 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:41.080 when I first went to Angels camp three years ago 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.640 and show hey just been there like two days, two 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.720 or three days. I got there fairly early. I get 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.840 to camp and I'm like, Mike Trout, so I'm staying 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.960 at time to Mike, and Mike tell me about show 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.120 you a time, and he grossed by shoulder goes I've 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.960 never seen power like this ever. I'm like, are you 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.040 kidding me? And Justin Upton walks up and he says, Harold, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:06.040 he hits them on the rocks one handed. All you 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:10.600 gotta be kidding me. Now we're really sitting and it's unbelievable. Yeah, 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.240 I'm always curious about this question that comes up about Hey, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.359 would you have him just concentrate on hitting or would 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.280 you just let this play out? I mean, they lost 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.040 him already for a season due to you know, arm 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.879 injury with pitching, but how would you how would you 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.800 play this out with Shohei Outani if you were Joe Madden? 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.440 I think he Joe's a perfect manager. I let it 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.639 play out, you know. And the other thing is we 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.000 get caught up and worrying about how great was bo Jackson. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.680 When we look back at him, we had him doing 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.560 football and baseball. That's an amazing story. So if you 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.720 take away the pitching from Show Hey, he's just another 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:50.919 glorified home roun hitter. That's the fact that he's pitching, 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.159 throwing one hundred miles an hour. That makes him an 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.560 attraction like we've never seen before. So let him keep 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.920 doing it. How is he as a pitcher? Stuff? I 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.600 think too early on they used too many breaking balls 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.320 put him in trouble. The last three or four games 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.679 I've watched the pitch. He started attacking with the fastball, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.040 and you know when you're throwing ninety seven ninety eight 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.159 and nobody's ever hits you. I remember this with you, Darvis. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.080 I went to you Darvis' first game when he came 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.000 over here, all the hype and the springs training, and 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.040 I don't remember who it was. They turned around his 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.320 fastball and hit it over the monster and seven and 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:29.600 he started throwing breaking balls the rest of the game. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.880 You gotta think they've never had anybody hit that fastball. Yeah, 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:34.880 So I think they had to happen to Show Hey too. 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.480 Starting to figure it out. Now it's there a pitch 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.639 you can get him out on, because it feels like 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.160 everybody's got a hold. There's a book on you. After 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.320 a couple of times through the league, Yeah, I think 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.000 you can go down and out until a lot more 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:49.720 and you can keep him off speed with some some 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.520 breaking balls. The amazing thing about what he's doing offensively 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.679 is Mike Trout's out and they keep pitching to him. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:01.720 But he's nut Lad's doing. I don't get it. But 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.840 also when I when I want the sound, I told 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.000 people if I just showed up and listened to him 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.600 hit batting practice, take batting practice like I, that would 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.720 be I don't need to see the ball. I hear 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.760 the ball and it just sounds different. Do you remember 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.520 a guy that had that similar sound when the ball 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:24.880 left his bat as Bo Jackson? You know, I sound 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:29.560 like the old Buck O'Neill talking about Josh Gibson, Babe 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.200 Ruth and Bow Jackson. This all the time. He heard 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.320 those sounds, and I'm telling him now the Bo Jackson 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.360 the story for us. So we're hitting in the Kingdom 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:41.879 early and now it's Bow knows boas full for he 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.800 already runs over Bob's worth. He's around eighties, one hundred 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.080 yards for touchdown to Kingdom. Soon the next year, he's 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.400 taking BP and he's telling me he's already thrown me out. 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.119 So we became friends. He's telling me, you know, switch 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.639 hit or either you can't run and you can't switch hit. 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.560 And he's taking BPS hit and he turns around the 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.080 left side and says bows switch hit, hits one, Dan. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.720 He hits one into the fifth deck in the Kingdom. Now, 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.960 I've been there ten years in Seattle, and I only 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.879 saw five balls go up there. It was ridiculous. So 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.880 that's how I think the sood. It's the only athlete 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.359 I can think that we've never come across before his boat. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.600 But if he had concentrated on just baseball, if Bo 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.719 Jackson had finished that statement, well he'd be in Cooperstown. 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.920 There's no doubt about it that he was just starting 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.480 to figure it out. The other thing, if you drop 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.760 bow into this generation right now, where strikehouse didn't matter, 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:36.879 we may not see the broken bat over the knee, 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.560 but we see some big swings and some long balls. 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.200 But also Reggie Jackson famously, you know, he struck out 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:48.000
