00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: with my bass friend Mike Harmon.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: Jason, your Mike still works. Why would you think my

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: Mike wouldn't work.

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 4: Oh, you're anti America.

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: I am not anti Hey.

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: I was even nice enough to say, with a ten

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: run lead, it would be okay to put Clayton Kershaw

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: in the game.

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Five run lead. I don't know, Jason, I can't hear you.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: We'll have more on the World Baseball Class that coming

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: up in a few minutes. The United States WEDNS Night one,

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: thanks to seventeen walks, they beat Brazil fifteen to five.

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: But right before we got on the air tonight, a

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: huge NFL trade went down, something that we thought was

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We heard that we was getting close maybe

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: by the end of the week, and it finally happens.

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: The second thing was it was being denied. Knew it

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: was gonna happen.

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: Max Crosby has been dealt by the Raiders to the

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. The five time Pro bowler, two time All

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Pro goes in exchange for first round picks in twenty

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: twenty six and twenty twenty seven. Crosby's got to pass

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: a physical that can occur until the start of the

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: new league year, which is Wednesday, so everything official with

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: this won't be until then. But the trade has happened,

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the trade has been agreed upon, and we'll have more

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: on the Crosby end of it in a second. But

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: this is what's kind of gone under the radar here,

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and I think this is just aw I'm gonna shows

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: you why the Cowboys.

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: Are who they are.

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: The trade that went down again first round picks this

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: year and next year. So now this year the Raiders

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: will pick first and fourteenth.

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: They beat out the Cowboys.

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: We're willing to offer a first and a second round

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: pick for Max Crosby, and obviously getting two first is

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: better than a first and a second, So okay, I

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: understand that, But just think about the last calendar year

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, where the cow where the Cowboys decide, No,

50
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: we're not gonna re sign Micah Parsons. I'm not gonna

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: pay him. He wants to get traded. We'll get a

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: couple of first round picks for him. Oh, but you

53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: know what, we still need defensive line. So we'll trade

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: a first and second round pick to the Jets to

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: get Quinn Williams. Oh but we still need to go

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: get the quarterback. So now let's trade another first and

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: a second to go get a guy that we didn't

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: need to get if we had just kept Micah Parsons.

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: Like, this is.

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Why the Cowboys are on a hamster wheel man, because

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: you go back a year. You go back a year

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: and it's okay, you had the guy who was gonna

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: get the quarterback and everything was five. But no, no,

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: let's make a trade and get draft picks, and then

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: trade two more draft picks and then potentially trade two

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: more draft picks to bring in a guy that plays

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: a position to the guy we traded the first time around.

68
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: You wonder why the Cowboys are who they are. That's

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: all you need to know. Right there.

70
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: Well, but that doesn't mean once you realize you've made

71
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: a colossal error, you don't try to rectify it.

72
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 3: But they'd be back to where they began.

73
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: Oh well, when I go back to and I go

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: back to the top and look, sometimes you just need

75
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: to get back to base X and then you proceed

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: from there. Okay, all right, we screwed up there. We

77
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: recognize we screwed up there. Now let's go try to

78
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: maximize what's left of the Dak Prescott window. By the way,

79
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons is one of many current and former players

80
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: willing to go fight for a million dollars with one

81
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: of the Paul brothers.

82
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: So that's cool.

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: That's a nice little subplot developing.

84
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, that's nice. That's nice.

85
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know that i'd be excited

86
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: about seeing that, but okay, I mean I think what

87
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it's Le'Veon Bell definitively right, Yeah, yeah.

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they're exchanging contract. We'll see if that actually

89
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 4: comes together, because remember you, as Le'Veon Bell chimed in,

90
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 4: he goes, no, no, no, no, no, you're retired. I'd

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: have to actually, you know, stop my wwe career and

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: everything else to uh, to train to fight you. It's

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: all fun and games, but yeah, it's it is curious

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: to watch the Dallas Cowboys operate. And this is a

95
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: nice microcosm of the larger play of why we have

96
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: so many teams And by so many, I mean only

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: so many teams that we extol the virtues of their

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: front office management and how they operate uh professionally year

99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: to year. And then there's everybody else.

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: They are forever on a hamster wheel. I mean, they

101
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: are forever on a hamster wheel.

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: But that's it.

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: I mean that it's nice to know where you stand

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: in the pantheon of things, and it's the curiosity. Now

105
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: we talk about the trade going down, here's a couple

106
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: of first round picks, uh, and he's off to Baltimore.

107
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: But for the Cowboys and for all the other teams

108
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: out there, as we get ready for the new league

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: year to unfold, right, we get into the no longer

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: legal tampering whatever term you want to put on it.

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: That this was the most anticipated of the moves. So

112
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: to see it go down first, I'm like, well, this

113
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: isn't what I wanted. I wanted to build up I

114
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: wanted more than just hey, there's a Dj Moore trade,

115
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: or HER's Taylor Decker telling the Lions, I'm done with

116
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: you after a decade.

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: I need more than that. Yeah, no, no, no, look

118
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: and look.

119
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: And this was this was a trade that we're not

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: even at free agency yet, we haven't even seen all

121
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: the tree were gonna wind up seeing. And the Ravens

122
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: have won the offseason. They have absolutely won the off

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: season already because of the caliber of player they got. Right,

124
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: let's go back a few days to the and I

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: love this quote from Rams GM Les Snead after the

126
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: Rams made the big trade for Trent McDuffie. Because the

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Rams f them picks and they wind up continually staying

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team. I don't know how they do

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: it year after year, bringing in players, giving them contracts,

130
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: trading away draft picks.

131
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: Yet they find a way.

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: Is he said, the first thing you want to look

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: at in the offseason is what all pros can We

134
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: go get what all pros are available, because those are

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: the guys you want to get. Right, this is a

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: bad year in free agency, Okay, it's gonna be a

137
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: bad year. So hey, we saw there was an all Pro.

138
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: We were able to go get that was gonna help us.

139
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: We get a big cornerback and he's gonna wind up

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: getting a big contract from us. They go get the

141
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: All Pro. The Ravens went out and got the All

142
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Pro of All pros again. Two time All Pro, five

143
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: time Pro bowler ten sacks year. Was on pace for

144
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: his best year of the year last year until he

145
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: got hurt. Wanted to come back at the end of

146
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the year. The Raiders said no. So you could see

147
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: why he wanted out. The Raiders couldn't keep him. This

148
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: is the guy you go get at twenty eight years old.

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: He's got three or four a years left. Max Crosby

150
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: is the definition of a plug and play guy. You

151
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: take him and his motor and just PLoP him down

152
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go get the quarterback and he's gonna

153
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: be the leader of year defense on the fields. He's

154
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the best kind of lunatic because he is one of

155
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: those players that he has a motor that I don't

156
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: know where he got it, but he does. And no

157
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: matter he's a type of guy that, no matter what

158
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: he's paid, no matter what his situation is, I'm going

159
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: to get the quarterback. I'm motivating to be the best

160
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: bleeping player I can be. And that's a guy you

161
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: have no problem saying, let's bring you in and let's

162
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: put you out there.

163
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: Right.

164
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: They always say like there's good kinds of crazy, right,

165
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: and that's Max Crosby. There's he is the guy to

166
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: go trade to go, trade to go get, and the

167
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Ravens make an incredible deal. He's the second best player

168
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: they've had in the Lamar Jackson era. Lamar Jackson has

169
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: been their best player, obviously Hall of Fame quarterback. They've

170
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: had other good players elsewhere, but in the last ten

171
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: years went with since Lamar Jackson's taken over quarterback, now

172
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: they have the second most talented.

173
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: Guy they've had.

174
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: Because Max Crosby is that good. I can't believe the

175
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Raiders didn't get more for him. I mean, you look

176
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: at what the Jets got for sauce Gardner. They got

177
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: to first and a player, right, they got ad Ni Mitchell. Now, granted,

178
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: the Colts wanted to move on from him because of

179
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: his dropping the football. Crossing the goal line against the

180
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Rams last year was a big play, but still you

181
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: sauce Gardner, who was a cornerback who was great as

182
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: a rookie and was pretty good in year two, and

183
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: then they changed the rules and started calling more hand.

184
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: Fouls and Sauce Gardner hasn't been the best guy. Doesn't matter.

185
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: They still get to first in a player for him

186
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: and for Max Crosby, who impacts the game even more.

187
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: It's just to first, Like you should have gotten to

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: first and a second and a third, or two first

189
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: and a couple of thirds, or two first and a

190
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: player that's gonna make your team and be a difference maker. Like,

191
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how the Raiders pulled the trigger on this.

192
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens. I would have given three first

193
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: round picks for Max Crosby. I'm thinking, I'm having this

194
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: guy the next four years. Is gonna be awesome with him,

195
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: Like I really, I'm stunned the Raiders didn't get more

196
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: for Max Crosby.

197
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: Gonna put it up on eBay. You'd had guys at

198
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: least trying to snipe in the final moments. I mean,

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: just let us know what the deadline is to get

200
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: a bid in. I mean, this is absurd. Last year

201
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: they were tied for twenty eight. The Baltimore Ravens. In

202
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: terms of team sacks, they registered just thirty. You know,

203
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: the only two teams that had less the Jets are fewer.

204
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: I can't the Jets, the Jets, the Jets and the Jets.

205
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: Jets forty nine ers only had twenty.

206
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: It's the Jets and the Mets. It was the Jets, all.

207
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: Right, Jets had twenty six and then tied for twenty eighth.

208
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 4: Where the Cardinals, the Panthers, and the Ravens. And we

209
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: talked about it all year. The Ravens defensively couldn't get

210
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: off the field, couldn't get that big play on third down.

211
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: They were better as the second half, as team got

212
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: healthier and they but they had to cheat and do

213
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: the all right, well, we can't get any kind of

214
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 4: pressure with four or the fifth or here. Now we

215
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: just have to go full, all out assault and leave

216
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: the secondary exposed by bringing the extra guys. Now here

217
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: you have a guy who wins, a guy who was

218
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: putting up ridiculous pressure and sack rates for a team

219
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: that was never playing with the lead, and now you

220
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 4: go and have this opportunity. Just an absolutely huge move.

221
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: But the fact that yeah, played.

222
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: With the lead since twenty twenty one, Mike Harman. The

223
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Raiders are not let in a football game in four years.

224
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: But you look at the man that might be true.

225
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: You look at the idea though of the two draft picks,

226
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: and you know, we got a little bit of feedback

227
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: as the night goes on, and we appreciate it that

228
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: this broke about a half hour before we went on air,

229
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: and we're talking about it throughout the night, the different

230
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 4: angles to it. Find the podcast as it goes up,

231
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: wherever you go, like it, Send it to your friends

232
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: and family, the larger discussion going. You know, two first

233
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: round picks.

234
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: For some people.

235
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: It's always too rich, right. Some people love draft picks.

236
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: I get that, the idea of the Christmas present. As

237
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: you open it, what's it going to be? I don't know,

238
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: you shake it up. It's like, ah, something crazy in there.

239
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: Draft picks generally, and you go team by team. Do

240
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 4: you trust that your GM is going to be able

241
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 4: to do what he needs to and the team and

242
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 4: the brain trust men and women in those rooms that

243
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 4: they're actually going to make the most of the draft picks?

244
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: I think for most teams we can say categorically, no,

245
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't trust that they're gonna pan out, and when

246
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: I can get a top notch player to your less

247
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: sneed comment, Yeah, I'd rather have the player that I

248
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: know is going to destroy people. Doesn't mean I have

249
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: to come over the top and pay that whatever the

250
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: market is for a player of that caliber. Sure, but

251
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: I know that I can pencil in that production and

252
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: that it's gonna make everybody around. Like what we talk

253
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: about pulling in for an offensive lineman, that's very good.

254
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: You know what, It makes the rest of your offensive

255
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: line better, right if you have a good center. Why

256
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: linder Baum's gonna get paid a ton of money is

257
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 4: because the guys that might have been a second or

258
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 4: third tier offensive lineman next to him, Guess what, they

259
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 4: look a lot better when he's got to take on

260
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: the extra blocker, when he's doing that much more to

261
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: get your quarterback a cleaner pocket. Likewise, here, Max Crosby,

262
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 4: everybody on that defensive line looks that much better because

263
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: their job just got a little bit easier.

264
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.

265

Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

266
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Again a plus trade for the Ravens. They win the

267
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: offseason already because no one else is gonna bring in

268
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: a player of that caliber that you can just PLoP

269
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: right in and is gonna be a star for you. Man,

270
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: This is fantastic for the Ravens.

271
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: All my guys out in Baltimore are still just getting

272
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: their nights started in c clabratory mode.

273
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,880

276
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120

277
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: Man, that's great.

278
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240

Speaker 1: We got more on this story coming up next because yeah,

280
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady angle on it is a pretty big deal.

281

Speaker 1: Plus we have the World Baseball Classic and we almost

00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: Show.

316
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Hey, O Tani, not like you didn't expect this Grand

317
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: Slam home run for Japan. We can just fast forward

318
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: to United States Japan, right, we just fast forward to

319
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: that at the end.

320
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: I tried to ask JP that he wouldn't he wouldn't

321
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: have it. I think we can.

322
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: John Paul works for Major League Baseball. They have a

323
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: lot invested in all of these games, as does Fox.

324
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: We want people to watch these games before we get

325
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: to United States Japan.

326
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: But he's not with US now, so yes, Usa Japan.

327
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: O Tani pitches all nine innings. Let's go. Let's get ready. Now.

328
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Look the thing about the United States before we get

329
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: to why, I'm not really anti American, Like I feel

330
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: like I can't have to say that. The one thing

331
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: like if I'm looking at the United States team tonight

332
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: and their lineup is terrific, And John Paul said, listen,

333
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that I see any weakness in the roster.

334
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: If they if they, If the United States doesn't win,

335
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: it's because of the randomness of baseball, and sometimes the

336
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: best team doesn't win. I'm a little concerned about the

337
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: starting pitching, about the pitching overall. And here's why. Because

338
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: look the lineup, there's it's a terrific lineup, right, I

339
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: mean you're just facing Superstar after Superstar. They were patient tonight.

340
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: The you know, you thought tonight would be a night

341
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: where maybe they're a little bit anxious, but you know, hey,

342
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: seventeen walks they were I think they had pretty good

343
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: plate discipline. But you look at the starting pitches for

344
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: the United States, you go, wow, it seems pretty good,

345
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: right with Web and then you got Scooble and you

346
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: have schemes and then it's McLean. But remember, these guys

347
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: aren't going you know, seven innings, right, They're only going

348
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: they're only going a handful of innings before it's turned

349
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: over the bullpen.

350
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: And once you get to.

351
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: The bullpen, yeah, they have some pretty decent arms in

352
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: the bullpen, but it's not it's not like you're looking at.

353
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 3: Some you know, some lights out guys here like that.

354
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: That's where I see because the bullpen really has a

355
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: lot more to say in the world baseball class. You know, yeah,

356
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: you may see Kershaw at some point that when it's

357
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: not a ten run game, because these guys are only

358
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: going to pitch a handful of innings, right, Like what

359
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: but four innings at the most right, like really, like

360
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: like Clay Holmes was stretching out for the Mets in

361
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: case they needed him, and he's not scheduled to go

362
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: in one of the first four games, but he was

363
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: topping out at four innings, so no matter what, And

364
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: and there's no way that Mark de ros is gonna

365
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, you know you haven't thrown a lot

366
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: of pitches. We're gonna keep you with because teams are

367
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna go, dude, you are not going to throw our

368
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: guys seven innings here in the middle of March.

369
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: Nine.

370
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: Oh, show that that he could do any well. The

371
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: Pirates aren't really a threat, so that's fine. He could

372
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: probably but that but that's.

373
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 4: Where the the competitor of the player. And this is

374
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: where we I would love the the back channels and

375
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 4: the buzzing ass uh when the phone's going off, going hey,

376
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 4: you know he was only supposed to go thirty five pitches.

377
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: Jerk right, like the handshake a greements versus tell you

378
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: trying to tell schemes are one of these guys that

379
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: they have to come out of the game if they're

380
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: feeling it, right, Like, there's that competitor in them. That's

381
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: gonna be like, I'll deal with the team when I

382
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: get back to camp. I'm giving you.

383
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Know, I think in theory I like that, except you know,

384
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: you have a guy like school but which said hey,

385
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: one game and I'm out, Like that's like that.

386
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: Got the guy, and like there's one thing to say

387
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: it before you show up. There's the other than once

388
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 4: you're around the team and you're actually playing for something, Yeah, right, Yeah,

389
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 4: then it becomes a different animal. Like think about the

390
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 4: Dodgers and their trepidation when it comes to you know,

391
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: Yamamoto or or for Otani in terms of their usage played, appearances, uh, innings, pitched,

392
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: number of pitches and all of that stuff. Once they're

393
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: actually in with their squad. I wonder how much the

394
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: rules of engagement change a little bit.

395
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I think if it was middle of

396
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: the season, I would say, yeah, but these guys aren't

397
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: up to I mean, we're still three weeks away from

398
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: opening day. Guys still building up their arms. I don't

399
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: know that after fifty pitches, these guys are gonna have anything, right,

400
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: Like Logan Web went fifty pitches tonight, right and then

401
00:19:59,480 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: and then.

402
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: Here with that home run. Yeah, got on a bit

403
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 4: of a terror and then he was done.

404
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

405
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not like we're bringing in these

406
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: lights out. I mean, Michael Waka came in. I mean,

407
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: come on to pitch, you know. Next to the United States, SI,

408
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: it's not like we.

409
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: Come on lines or pac fan lines in.

410
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: And walk a walk out, walk o walk.

411
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't have a bunch of guy dudes

412
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: coming in out of the bullpen that are all gonna

413
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: throw ninety nine and with hilacious sliders like we have

414
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: just guys coming out of the bullpen. So if anything

415
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: that I see could be the issue for the United States,

416
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: I can see a team like Japan or Mexico really

417
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: feasting once you get out of the starting pitching, saying hey,

418
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: these relievers ain't great, man, because you saw Brazil tonight

419
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: right Like you know, Web gets out of the first

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: four innings, gives up the home run to the open,

421
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: to the first bat or to many Ramirez's kid. Okay,

422
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm fine after that, but then hey, here's a few

423
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: more runs in the seventh, another run in the eighth,

424
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Like this is this is where I think if you're

425
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: looking for a place to be nervous about the United States.

426
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: It's when they get into their bullpen, especially this part

427
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: of the tournament. That's right, That's where I would look

428
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: at and say, yeah, if it gets into a situation

429
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: like that, it's more of a toss up than people.

430
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: Very patient team. Though they Brazil through two hundred and

431
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: twenty one pitches tonight, only ninety six of them for strikes. Yeah,

432
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: game of five stolen bases. We had what the balk

433
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 4: that that brought home a run? Yeah, a lot of chaos.

434
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 3: Ninety six strikes and one hundred and twenty five Yeah.

435
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: Buddy, when they walk in three runs a balk. All

436
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 4: of that just absolute chaos.

437
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: Oh man. Now, and I want to say this coming

438
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: off of tonight, right.

439
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: Because the US laying nine and a half, got the

440
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: job done.

441
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: So so many greats that the Lakers are back, so

442
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: many greats that the Knicks.

443
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: The Knicks beat the Nuggets by.

444
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: Forty second night of a back to back, you know.

445
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they had two guys who hadn't played in

446
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: a long time come back.

447
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 3: They were rusty and then stop stop.

448
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: And that's the best part for the Knicks is that

449
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: they won a game by forty where brunts and scored nine. Yeah,

450
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: watch out, I'll see you in the NBA Finals. Now,

451
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll see in the finals, Frostburg. I'll see there. The

452
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: big story out of tonight, like so many big stuff

453
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: out of the World Baseball Classic. Yes, Manny Rire's his

454
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: kid with a couple of home runs tonight, and John

455
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: Paul Morosi told us a great story about how he

456
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: taught him to hit lefty, and he showed him didn't

457
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: watch videos of his dad hitting, but watch videos of

458
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: David Ortiz hitting, which is just it's such a great story.

459
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: But Joseph Contreras, Jose Contreras's kid came in to pitch

460
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: the second inning tonight for Brazil, seventeen years old in

461
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: high school. Right in high school. He plays in the

462
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: same ida was it the same travel ball or the

463
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: same high school conference as Mark Deurosa's son. So when

464
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: they're doing the interview in between innings, like, yeah, I

465
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: know my son's played against him, scouting report against some

466
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: mean these This kid's in high school and he's and

467
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: he comes in to face Harper and Bobby Witt and

468
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: he gets Aaron Judge to ground into a double play

469
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: with the bases loaded. It is absolutely one not trolling.

470
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: It is okay to make fun of Aaron Judge grounding

471
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: out against a kid in high school.

472
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: That is one hundred percent okay to do well.

473
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 4: He got did his social studies homework a little bit

474
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: earlier in the day. He's a commit to Vanderbilt. Yeah,

475
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 4: so he's I.

476
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: Think he actually did homework, bug out in between innings

477
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: and then went back out to pitt.

478
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: Might have might have had his flash cards out. I mean,

479
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know what his method is

480
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: towards the greatness. But heading to Vandy, he's got a

481
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 4: head on his shoulder that's great, uh, you know, and

482
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: and ready to go. But a big pitch here with Judge.

483
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 4: I hope that the splinters of that broken bat go

484
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 4: into trading cards or that someone corralled them that we

485
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 4: can find them in the memorabilia market, because that that's

486
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: a pretty big moment for the kid. I want the

487
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 4: ball and I want the shard of his bat, don't

488
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: you want?

489
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: Like his ap European history test, well, the result of

490
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: of his American history test, and it's something an apiece

491
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: ap math, ap calculus, pre calculus.

492
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: But it's just such a great moment, right, I mean,

493
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: all of this and you talk about the largess of

494
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 4: this tournament and how much it's been embraced and all

495
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: the stars and the talk, and whether you love Judge's

496
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: speech or not, he is right now the the foremost player, uh,

497
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: taking the mantle from from those guys in the past

498
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: like Mike Trout and and everybody else. And and now

499
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: you get him in this big moment. Now he'd already homeward,

500
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: so he'd already had his Captain America moment. But to

501
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: get him to ground into the double play with the

502
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 4: bases loaded, come on, that's a that's a musty moment

503
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: right there. I mean, that's that might be the peak

504
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 4: of his baseball. Greer, you think you're going back and

505
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: pitching at Vandy's anywhere, like he's gonna mow these kids down.

506
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: Think about that, Uh, the two Aaron Judges gonna go

507
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: down in one of the five greatest Yankees of all time,

508
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the two biggest moments of his career, dropping the fly

509
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: ball in center field and hitting into a double play

510
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: against a seventeen year.

511
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: Old Oh.

512
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: Very anti American.

513
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: That is stop that it is okay to troll that

514
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent. It happened on the field.

515
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: It's okay, and we won, so it's fine.

516
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: I mean people have been felled by the Brazilian butt

517
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: lift and other things Brazilian, the coco nut. You know,

518
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 4: they'll take you down. But here, I mean, just a

519
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 4: great pitch.

520
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt's gonna be easy for him. It's gonna absolutely be easy.

521
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: Now, the academics are gonna be tough to tackle. But

522
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: inside the white lines, I mean, you are you already

523
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 4: stared down a guy who looked like he was eight

524
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 4: feet taller than all of the people trying to interview him. Now,

525
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: and for crying out loud.

526
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: Forget about what he does on the baseball field. I'm

527
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: picturing him like in his first frat park with his

528
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: feet up and like a bunch of girls sitting around him, going. So,

529
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: I've got the bases loaded and Aaron Judges up right,

530
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: and I own Aaron Judge. Okay, I mean, this guy

531
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: comes up here, he's like six seven, six eight, doesn't matter.

532
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: I know, I come inside, I'm sawing off that bat.

533
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna break and I'm getting a five four to
