Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn take from last night on the On this,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm believing that everything that Jets want

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: to do. If Aaron Glenn can't turn the Jets around,

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: then nobody can like he he is the guy. If

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: he can't, I don't know. Forget it doesn't matter. May

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: as well not even watch it. He's the last guy.

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: He's the last guy. It's like one of those dis

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be like one of those disaster movies

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: where you're the only person that can save the world.

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Everybody out now, you have to do it. If you

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: don't do it, the world end. Oh okay, it's doctor

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Strange holding up the one figure. This is the one

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: scenario we win? Yes? Is this the one scenario where

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are good? Yes? Okay, all right, we'll figure

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: it out.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: It's all on the shoulders Glenn. Completely different way of

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 3: looking at things.

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: He's the guy. He's it.

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: He's the guy, and I am legend instead of Will Smith.

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: He's the guy East Pedro, Pascal and last of us.

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Yes, well hopefully not sorry no spoiler, but hopefully not.

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully better, hopefully better. I was just trying to go

42
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: to our I mean, I mean that are supposed to

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: lead us to the great Now I'll give you I'll

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: give you a minor spoil. I mean, like he just

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: laid waste to all of those people at the makeshift hospital.

46
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Well then they have it coming they were gonna so well, well, potentially.

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: You have to be bigger sacrifice Ellie to potentially secure

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: everybody of courtsps.

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Like I could see where you would have to do

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: that to save humanity, and boy, maybe you could have

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: just taken her out of there. But wow, he just everybody.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's just gone. He was just like a John Wick

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: movie at the end, Like, Wow, he's just going through everybody.

54
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that's who Aaron Glen has to be as well.

55
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: He's gotta beat John Wick bulletproof uh Jets shirt that

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: he's wearing, like John Wick does. What what motivates you,

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Coach Glenn, Well, they killed my dog? What motivates you?

58
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: I had to play for the Jets for most of

59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: my career and now you're back. Yes, it's it's like

60

Speaker 1: even play for the Jets. I'll even come back and

00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,840

101
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: didn't do it. I think he felt weird. You're like,

102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen, is really And I

103
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: stood right next to him. I was like, wait, because

104
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to punch line right. I wanted to punch on. Hey, sir,

105
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: We'll throw that hat out for you if you want.

106
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: But but he didn't do it. I was like one

107
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: of those mystery boxes that they put in nut lids.

108
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: CA do that in store? I don't think you do

109
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: that in store. Oh that would be pretty cool if

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: you could just walk with fifteen bucks and buy a

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: mystery at and open it. Oh no, no, no, it is

112
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: like the two hundred dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like if

113
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: you could do that in the store, okay, but yeah,

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: it's certainly not a fifteen dollars proposition. I was so close.

115
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I was. I really want to say, sir, I'll throw

116
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: that hat out for you if you want to.

117
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: It would have been kind of interesting. I mean, if

118
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: you have videotape the response, yeah, oh you know what,

119
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: And I did see what Walt how he would have

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: responded to that. The other thing is someone would really

121
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: do a good sell of it.

122
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes I kind of worry about my dad and his

123
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: response to things, because sometimes he can really just get

124
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: upset right away because you know, he's eighty and he's like, yeah,

125
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: he's very self sufficient, gets around everything. But I could see,

126
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: like usually everywhere we go, like any kind of any

127
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of place you go to that has to have

128
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: retail or service, Like sometimes he like the percentage chance

129
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: is like seventy percent he's gonna be upset or.

130
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: Service part of being out in a mall. Yeah, you know,

131
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 3: I sometimes I think you should probably go somewhere else.

132
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: But I was right there next to him. I felt

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: like I controlled the situation. Take a roll of the dice.

134
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: I know that that would have been so bad. Like

135
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: the worst thing is if if something happens food wise,

136
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't get his food in time, or it's longer

137
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: than he expects, or his coffee has made a little

138
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: bit wrong or or not with everything in it, that

139
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: they could just bring him on the side.

140
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: No, no, no, he's that's what he gets ride.

141
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: Take him out to watch ducks swim, buy in a

142
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: little pond at this point the way you're describing that,

143
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: or will he get mad at the ducks swimming fast?

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Duck's not fat, just like our bullpen, Just like

145
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees bullpen. It stinks just like him. Uh So

146
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Shadoor Sanders, coming off of his huge Week one in

147
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the NFL preseason, I said, well, he's gotta be gotta

148
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: let him run with the number one quarterback job, right

149
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: have to write what Look at what he did first

150
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: game one hundred and forty yards two touchdowns. He looked great.

151
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: There's no reason not to. What are you really doing

152
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: if you're not? I'm sorry that Dylan Gabriel and Kenny

153
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: Pickett were hurt, Joe Flacco didn't play, But what are

154
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: you really doing? What are you really doing? There's no

155
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: reason to not let him run with the ones, right,

156
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: don't have to give him the job, but let him

157
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: run with the ones because he's earned it with that performance. Yet,

158
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the Browns depth chart has come out and guess it

159
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: was still fourth. Shador Sanders, Well, I mean, Stefanski warned you.

160
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: He said it was probably gonna be the case. That's

161
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: just stupid. I'm really it's just what really?

162
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: What are you?

163
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Are you trying to win games?

164
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: Like?

165
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: What are you trying to do? Again? You don't have

166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to give him the job, but you got if a

167
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: guy shows up when the lights are bright and this

168
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: is one of his big chances to come through and

169
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: he has that kind of game, yeah you can. You

170
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: can elevate him on the depth chart. At the very least,

171
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: you could say, hey, he's running now second behind Joe Flacco.

172
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: You know you have no you'd have no reason to

173
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: be beholden to Kenny Pickett or to to Dylan Gabriel.

174
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, are you trying to win games?

175
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: Man?

176
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: Here's a quarterback that came out Week one preseason, but

177
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: you got to judge by what happens when the lights

178
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: go on, and he was really good, and yet still

179
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: it's the only thing that comes to mind, the only

180
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: thing that I can think of and go, all right,

181
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: is this what they're trying to do, is that they

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: really have to be sure that Shadoor Sandals is gonna

183
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: be able to handle everything that goes along with being

184
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in the NFL. Right, he had the

185
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: driving issues in the off season. You had all the

186
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: different times where we heard from different teams that, yeah,

187
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 1: didn't really show up for the meetings as well, didn't

188
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: have didn't really have the the excitedness we would expect

189
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. One didn't want to talk to us

190
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: about how prepared he was or wasn't for a certain

191
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: play description we wanted to talk to him about. And

192
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: then you had during the game the one instance where

193
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: on a play where he got sacked, he got up

194
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: and yelled at one of his receivers, and then after

195
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: the game gets into it with Tony Grosse. He won

196
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: of a longtime Cleveland Brown's beat reporters by saying, you

197
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: got to say anything nice to me, Tony, you never

198
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: said anything nice to me, even though it was kind

199
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: of a jokey back and forth and Grosse he talked

200
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: about it today that hey, it really wasn't that big

201
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: a deal. I'm surprised I became that big a deal.

202
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, a shaduor Sanders of course are going

203
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: to be a big deal. But he seemed to blow

204
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: it off and say, you know, it wasn't that big

205
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: a deal. We were joking about it at the end.

206
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of, which is what

207
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: Stefanski should say, because other other than that you're alienating

208
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: your fan base, is saying we want to make sure

209
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Chador Sanders can handle everything that goes along with being

210
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback in the NFL, and that way you

211
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: read between the lines and you get okay. Here he

212
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: was yielded a teammate during the game. First thing he

213
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: does in the post game is talk to a Cleveland

214
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Browns beat guy, and Sale said he was with how

215
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: he was treating him, what he would say about him, dude,

216
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: that's not what you do. You need to be responsible

217
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: and mature enough to handle these things. That's the message

218
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: everybody would get, right, and that's what I'm hoping that's

219
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes sense, because outside of this,

220
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you really trying to do where

221
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: they're go If he can't handle it and he's not good,

222
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to start. But there's no reason not

223
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: give him more reps, let him, let him have this

224
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: and try to hammer out that, Hey, you got to

225
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: be doing a little bit differently because you're you're now

226
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: you're not just a starting quarterback in college football. You're

227
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: you're a guy that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars

228
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: because you are the quarterback of a football team in

229
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, And there's a difference between being a face

230
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: of the franchise that I would get. Well, we didn't

231
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: get that. We didn't get, but I would hope that

232
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: that would be something that Stefanski would say or the

233
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: Browns slowed out saying, hey, want to make sure these

234
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: are mature enough to handle stuff, because I understand that

235
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: part of it, but on the field, like, really, the

236
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: guy was lights out, He's better than Dylan Gabriel would

237
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: have been, better than Picket would have been, probably better

238
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: than Flacco would have been. At this point, it's preseason.

239
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: Flacco is not going to go crazy, and still his

240
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: reward is I'm still fourth string Like that, I don't

241
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: know what kind of message you're trying to send there. Well,

242
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: I think some of it is all right. It's a

243
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: good first step, but you still have to keep battling.

244
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: You didn't.

245
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: Those other guys are are still ahead of you on

246
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: the depth chart even though they didn't play. Now the

247
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel, what have they done? What have they done

248
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: to keep you to stay ahead of you?

249
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Longevity? Dylan Gables been in the league the same time.

250
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 3: Not saying him, I'm saying, when you go to what

251
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: you have for expectations off Picket and Flacco if nothing else,

252
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: I guess you say he moves to third, that he's

253
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: outplayed Gabriel. Look, the entrance music thing was odd, but whatever,

254
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: they allowed it, So move on. The grossy, grossy thing.

255
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: In the post game, said many guys have done it

256
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: from the podium instead of coming to him one on one,

257
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: and even you know he even saw the laugh and

258
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: whatever that they had a moment move on, but it

259
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 3: is shades of things that may still for the team

260
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 3: be an uncomfortable thing and part of why you had

261
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: the drop to the fifth round. But going back to Friday,

262
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: he showed enough on tape to where you think you'd

263
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: get more reps at least a few more with a

264
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: someone on the second unit or even going to that

265
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: number one slot. But I guess they're gonna make him

266
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: earn it the long way and he's gonna have to

267
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: do it again.

268
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Man, I mean, really, I if it's if it's a

269
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: if it's a if it's a I want to say,

270
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: if it's a maturation thing, it's you need to be

271
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: able to handle this, right, Like I said, I get that,

272
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: But this is a team that's been starved for great

273
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: quarterback play for years, right, for years. Think about that

274
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: for a second, right, Deshaun Watson's been nothing but underachieving

275
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: since they decided to give him all that money. Baker Mayfield,

276
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: you had to get rid of him because it wasn't

277
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: good enough. Right, So you're going back years and years

278
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: to the last time you had a glimmer of hope

279
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Now you get it, and it's yeah, the

280
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: guy's still fourth string. We wait, what how is it

281
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: we've been waiting. That's like saying, hey, I've been waiting

282
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: for six years for a drink of water. I really

283
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: need to drink of water. Well, yeah, I understand you

284
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: need to drink of water. I get it. I have

285
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: a whole glass of water here for you. I have

286
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: a whole glass. But you know what, I'm just gonna

287
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: give you a sip instead. But wait, but I really

288
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: need the water. Now you're just gonna get a sip

289
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: because but I really need it. No, No, just gonna

290
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: give you a little sip and then I'm gonna pull

291
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: the water back and hold the water out there, boil

292
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: that water nice and cold, ice cubes clinking in the glass.

293
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: It's like when you see the big Coca Cola display

294
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: on the movies when they show you how it poured

295
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: in and look at that and all the buzzles and

296
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: the fizz and the effort vessents. That looks so good. Yeah,

297
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: that water looks good, doesn't it.

298
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 5: Yet?

299
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: No, not gonna give anymore. Wait, well, I think some

300
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: of it.

301
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: You invoke the name of Baker Mayfield and you go back,

302
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: and I'll do this quickly is that what was his

303
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: biggest downfall wasn't necessarily what he was doing on the field,

304
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: was spending too much time dealing with you and Colin

305
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: and anybody in the media. So when you still see

306
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: shades of that with with Shador Sanders, you want to

307
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: you want to try to stomp that out because that's

308
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: been part of what came with him from college which

309
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: led him to become a fifth round pick for you.

310
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: On the field, you saw a lot of what is

311
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: potentially there. Take it with a grain of salt, playing

312
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: against twos and stuff when he had his best success.

313
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: But you can only play who's on the field and

314
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: who's on the schedule. But it's all that other stuff

315
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: that's still perhaps a lingering memory institutionally of that Baker

316
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: Mayfield era.

317
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresco exit, swollen dog. It just

318
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: baffles me that this is how the Browns.

319
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: It's like, give this was the Jets, you just go Jets,

320
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: same big air Brown Joe.

321
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,000

354

Speaker 5: How are you outstanding? My friends? I was in New

355
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: York last night. I was actually at Yankee Stadium for

356
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: the Yankees and the Twins. I know that pin Alonso

357
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: made some Mets history tonight for a team that, by

358
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: the way, I want to make sure I lead with

359
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: the positivity. Jason. Yes, New York Mets as of as

360
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 5: of now to now tonight now still still are in

361
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 5: possession of a National League wild card spot, albeit the

362
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: third of three, but they are in the dance for now,

363
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 5: two games ahead of the Cincinnati Retch.

364
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Now, you know, and you could tell me this, You

365
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: can tell Sternsy my reaction because when when he hit

366
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: that home run, right, you think I'm full of Hey,

367
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: he passed Darryl Strawberry. It's a big deal. I think

368
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: about my life and I'm a teenager when Strawberry was

369
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: so good. No, right away, I said, now, we got

370
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: to win this game. Let's not blow this please league

371
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: like Dat's myria Alonzow. It's the home run I celebrated

372
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: for about half a second ago. We got to win

373
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: this game, man, we can't. It's five to one. We

374
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: got to win this well.

375
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 5: And let's let's point out. And I'm sure this has

376
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 5: been covered very adeptly on the Fox Sports Radio studio updates,

377
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: but the final core was thirteen to five in favor

378
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 5: of the Mets. They kept hitting throughout sixteen hits, thirteen runs.

379
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 5: I do know that you have you have already made

380
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 5: some suggestions to me. We are frequently texting. You've got

381
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: an idea about you wanted to make sure that we

382
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 5: saw McLean and Sprote. Ideally, you wanted the three probable

383
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 5: starters for this series to be Sprote, McLean, and Jonah

384
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 5: Tong the prospects, so you wanted all three of them up.

385
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: It didn't quite happen that way, but the Mets nonetheless

386
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: a very important win. And I was able to speak

387
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 5: with Justin before the segment started working on the he

388
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: really say that Conford, Oh, should play more often. There's

389
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 5: a lot of There's a lot of conversation right now.

390
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 5: Both of you guys just kind of boosted up your

391
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 5: confidence a little bit.

392
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, now we gotta call it like it is. When

393
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: I said to you that text, who I really wanted

394
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: this series was, I said, seever Kusman Gooden. That was

395
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: the guys I wanted for this series. But now you

396
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: know he can't get them out here.

397
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 5: And John matt Lack, you missed great John Mattlack, who,

398
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 5: by the way, John Matt Lack, I always have great

399
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: things to say about John matt Lack. He was the

400
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: Tigers minor league pitching coordinator when I first started covering

401
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: pro baseball more than twenty years ago. And so John

402
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: Matt Lacks, as you know as many of our listeners,

403
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: though one of the great New York Mets starting pitchers. Ever,

404
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 5: he was always so gracious and courteous in returning my

405
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 5: calls when I was just a twenty one year old

406
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: who just had all kinds of questions about everything in

407
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: the world, and he was very patient with me. And

408
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 5: I will always thank John matt Lack for that.

409
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's so nice.

410
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 5: There you go.

411
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: So there you go.

412
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 3: We got positivity of the Mets with a win, and

413
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: you're talking about the Michael Confordo angle, many angles here

414
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles to run with the Dodgers, that nine

415
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: game lead evaporating as it has, and just trying to

416
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: find answers in some level of consistency JP.

417
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: What could Dave Roberts do to but what can he

418
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: pull out of his hat?

419
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 5: Well, the question I have right now, Mike is actually

420
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 5: the offense, and that to me is the big issue.

421
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: The rotation is getting better. You think about now the

422
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 5: return of Snell Glass. Now they're expecting big things from

423
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 5: down the stretch them. Moto in many ways has been

424
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: their most consistent starter from the start of the season,

425
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 5: and now Kirshaw looked really good. But I think the

426
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 5: big question now has to do with the lineup it

427
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 5: and I really think overall, I know we're talking about

428
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: what they could do to get more out of Confordo

429
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: and that line line up spot. They at least were

430
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: able to win a weekend series against the Blue Jays,

431
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: who have been one of the hottest teams in Major

432
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 5: League Baseball. Yes, I know they're tied right out tonight

433
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: with the Angels, and yes, I know it wasn't necessarily

434
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 5: a great start for Shian, but in general, I do

435
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 5: think there is still a lot to like about this lineup.

436
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 5: Maybe the one thing you would say, and again it's

437
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 5: on display tonight, just too at the menu scoring position

438
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: that they are maybe not cashing in at the same

439
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: level of the same rates of plating runs and they've

440
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 5: got opportunities. I still like the general structure of this

441
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 5: lineup with Otani at the top. Of course, Bets has

442
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 5: just started to come alive a little bit. Obviously for

443
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 5: the year, his numbers won't look that's like, but he

444
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 5: has been better of late. Will Smith has put together

445
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: I think a phenomenal year all the way around. But

446
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: I do agree with the critique that the bottom part

447
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 5: of the lineup, even with a couple of hits from

448
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 5: Rushing today including a homer, the bottom part of the

449
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: lineup is not quite as potent as it was at

450
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 5: this time last year. You just look at the bottom

451
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: three right now. It's a confordo with batting one to

452
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 5: eighty seven, freelim batting one ninety four and then rushing

453
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: batting two o two. It's just it's not the same

454
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: fearsome one through nine that we saw one year ago,

455
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 5: and for that matter, nor is the Yankees lineup at

456
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 5: that same level. So I think you consider how just

457
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 5: how much opportunity there is. We're talking right now as

458
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 5: much about the Brewers, the Mariners, the Padres as we

459
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 5: are about the Yankees and Dodgers, and I think on

460
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 5: some level in the game that's healthy. It's certainly it's

461
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: a pretty powerful counter argument to those that thought, based

462
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: on last year's World Series that a Dodgers the Yankees

463
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: rematch was inevitable. Let's be clear about it, it is not. Now.

464
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: I know you're getting set to broadcast from Williamsport, which

465
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: is going to be so much fun for you. Are

466
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: you more excited about Williamsport or Padres Dodgers series this weekend?

467
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: Just between us, off the record, Podras Dodgers, but that's

468
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 5: the series, and listen. As much as we would love

469
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 5: to be able to reconfigure the schedule on the fly,

470
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, Matts Mariners is a good matchup for

471
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: this week, and I'm excited to see both teams, But

472
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: I would kind of like to see if we could

473
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 5: fly in the Dodgers and Padres and then put that

474
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 5: really contentious match up in front of the kids, and

475
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: then and then say basically, okay, everybody, no fights tonight,

476
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 5: no clearing the benches tonight in front of the kids.

477
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: We can't do it. It'd be a good good reminder

478
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 5: of that. But listen to Padres and the Mariners. They

479
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 5: both played really well since the deadline. And I like that.

480
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 5: I like that the teams that were aggressive have been

481
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: rewarded for it. And it certainly puts together a pretty

482
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 5: powerful argument to t GMS and the team president and

483
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 5: the owner that the players really do feed off of

484
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 5: that energy. So uh, good aut him for being aggressive.

485
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 5: And and credit to those two teams in particular, Seattle

486
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 5: and San Diego for putting together some impressive runs here

487
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 5: now in the month of August.

488
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: So are we going to get our Aaron Boone outstream

489
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: because they're wearing bags on their heads in the third.

490
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 5: Level now, JP, I know I was there last night.

491
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 5: Talk to Aaron. He didn't seem he didn't seem many

492
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 5: more stress than normally does. And I think that's really

493
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: a good thing. Uh. That's that's the important thing for

494
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 5: the Yankees. The reasons why they are not leading the division.

495
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 5: Aaron Boone is not is not the one to blame it.

496
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: In my opinion, there are a number of issues going

497
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 5: on there. I do think that the return of Stanton

498
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 5: and the home runs last night and tonight, it's just

499
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: he's really important to them. But when Stanton is in

500
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 5: the lineup, when he's homering, it's a different team. And

501
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 5: Volpi got it, got in on the act tonight too.

502
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 5: Warren pitsh really well last another good start tonight for Rodan.

503
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 5: That's it. They just have to get deeper in games.

504
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: And so if they keep playing the way they played

505
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: the last couple of nights, and again it's against a

506
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 5: Twins team that's sold off with the deadline, I get it.

507
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: But to me, the important thing is consistency and stability

508
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 5: in the rotation, and just talking to Aaron yesterday, it

509
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 5: sounds like he believes they're a lot closer in that

510
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 5: regard than they've been in a while. And so I'm

511
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 5: willing to let this thing play out and listen, if

512
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 5: they haven't made a change of manager yet, and certainly

513
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 5: he's under contract well beyond the end of the season.

514
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 5: If they haven't made a change yet, I would have

515
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 5: a hard time thinking that they would do that in season.

516
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: Maybe the chance to be there if they missed the

517
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 5: playoffs entirely, but I think it internally, they still seem

518
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: pretty pleased with the work that Boone is doing, despite

519
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 5: the up and down results over the last month plus.

520
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, John Paul is, I look at

521
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: it this way. If the Yankees don't make the playoffs underachieve,

522
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna fire him at the end of the season. Right,

523
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: it's been eight years no championships, which you know they

524
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: got rid of Joe Torre a lot faster and he

525
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: won four. I maintain that if the Yankees get to

526
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: a point where they fall two three games out of

527
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: the wild card, right, if they fall two three games

528
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: out of the wild card, that would happen, and they

529
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: would replace Boone just as a final break glass in

530
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: case emergency thing. This is the last thing we can

531
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: do to try to keep this season on track, because

532
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: why wait till the end of the year. If we're

533
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna miss the playoffs, then do something we're gonna do anyway, Whereas, hey,

534
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: maybe this is what we can do. We can jar

535
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: the team for the last five six weeks of the

536
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: season that if if that happens for the Yankees and

537
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: suddenly there are a couple of games on the outside

538
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: looking in, I can see that happening.

539
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 5: It's it's possible, listen, nything is possible. I still don't

540
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 5: see it as being that likely. And part of the answer,

541
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 5: part of the reason is who are you going to

542
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: replace him with?

543
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: Uh Derrek Teeter Jeter has been critical.

544
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 5: I I do not think that there is much of

545
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 5: a chance at all that that Jeter would be the

546
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 5: manager of the New York Yankees now. If at some point,

547
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 5: and I don't think it's imminently, if at some point

548
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 5: far into the future, they were to look at the

549
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 5: possibility of him being at that at that higher level,

550
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 5: you know, club president, something of that, of that type,

551
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 5: maybe maybe, I maybe I would see him in that role.

552
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: I just don't think managing is what he's going to

553
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 5: want to do now, the one, the one Yankee icon.

554
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 5: It's not going to happen now because he's got an

555
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 5: important job with the team that's in their division. But

556
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 5: I could see at some point in time in the future,

557
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 5: not now, but eventually don Maddingly managing this team. At

558
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: some point I'm not saying it's now, but I at

559
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 5: some point I could see him being the manager just

560
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 5: because he's he's managed multiple stops. I think that he's

561
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: never really had a chance to consistently have a winning team.

562
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 5: He was there with the Dodgers kind of in the

563
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: early phase of it. I just think that he would

564
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: have a very very special connection and fond of the

565
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: fan base there. Again, I don't think it's gonna happen imminently,

566
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: but it wouldn't surprise me if at some point in

567
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 5: this career maddenly becomes a Yankee again. And I don't

568
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 5: think it's gonna happen now, but I do wonder sometime

569
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: down the line.

570
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: What's funny is you know you're talking about the teams

571
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: that went for it at the trade deadline and being

572
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 3: rewarded as such. I'm going back to my hometown. Obviously,

573
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: the White Sox are what they are, and Cools Montgomery

574
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: is fine and hitting home runs and that's exciting. On

575
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: the North side, I get a lot of notes from

576
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: friends going, why didn't we do something? Yeah, what are

577
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: we doing? What happened to Pete Crow Armstrong? As in

578
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker still a superstar and it's all just kind

579
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: of melting down while you watch the Brewers just falling

580
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: to win after win after win.

581
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 5: I think it's I struggle to say this. We're not

582
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 5: even halfway through August, but it's difficult for me to

583
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: imagine a world in which the Cubs win this division.

584
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 5: It's amazing that I'm saying this based on the fact

585
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 5: that right around the fourth of July, I was feeling like, man,

586
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 5: this team is they're the best team maybe in all

587
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 5: baseball that they look that good. But you're right. This

588
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: period of time has really revealed the extent to which

589
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: PCA was with the driver, because since he's been slumping,

590
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 5: they have not been the same team, and Tucker's been

591
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 5: just okay with PCA. The thing that even when he

592
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: was going good, we kept hearing and I think it

593
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 5: was a fair critique. The guy just swings so much

594
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: and he's not selective, and at some point you go

595
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 5: around in the league once or twice, people are going

596
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 5: to figure that out. And I just think that he's

597
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: been maybe whether it's said he's tired, whether it's that

598
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: he's a little jumpie and just not getting good pitches hit.

599
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: But when pitchers realize they don't have to throw you

600
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: a strike to get you out. You're not going to

601
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: see many strikes, and he's going to have to show

602
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: that you can make that adjustment or else. What we've

603
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 5: seen the last couple few weeks will become probably the

604
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 5: norm for the rest of the season. He's still talented

605
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: enough to make the change, but it's going to be

606
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: a fairly dramatic shift and approach from what we have

607
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 5: seen to this point because the free swinging ways of

608
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 5: Pete grow Armstrong no longer are as charming as they

609
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 5: were back in April or May.

610
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morose.

611
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: You see him on MLB Network, seem at Williamsport the

612
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: League World Series. Now, I have a dare for you.

613
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: You normally accept every dare give you, so.

614
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 5: I have to hear let me know, well, okay, here

615
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 5: I got.

616
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,120

645
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Everybody he comes in, he puts a

646
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: lot of acoline on the microphone. It's Steve to say,

647
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: it's a Hall of Famer. Got some on the neck

648
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: right now. There you go, good man, if he's ready.

649
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: He would always touch every part of his body. Yeah. Absolutely.

650
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: The best one was literally right in.

651
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 4: Between right at the throat, in between the two local

652
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 4: cor you never knew.

653
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Just had nervous ticks. I mean, when you get rid

654
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: of it, why is that shiny? It's just sweat. No,

655
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: come on, it's still sweaty.

656
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: I remember at one point he struck out Reggie Jackson,

657
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 4: who was convinced it was yet another spitball. Jackson came

658
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 4: out of the duck out with a bucket of water

659
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 4: before the home flight.

660
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: Umpire, how do you not see this?

661
00:31:59,320 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 5: Well?

662
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 4: The Padre could be tying the first place Dodgers in

663
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 4: the NL West standings after tonight. They're only a game back.

664
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: The lead was nine for LA in early July. Since then,

665
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: the Dodgers record is twelve and nineteen. They are tied

666
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: in Anaheim. The Dodgers right now, it's five to five,

667
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: top of the seventh, but the Dodgers did hit into

668
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 4: a triple play on a soft liner up the middle

669
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: the Padres.

670
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: That was adult rushing. That was all his fault.

671
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, running at first base and trying to get out

672
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 4: of way, and it looked, honestly, it looked like stepping

673
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: on the bag and a hard landing at first like

674
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: when Bryce Harper got so seriously injured in recent years.

675
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: Rushing is still the Dodger catcher. After all that, the

676
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: Padres are holding on four to one at the Giants.

677

Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,

717
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: Hobo or I'm going to do something here that I

718
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: really haven't done, like I don't know in like months

719
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: and months and months, months and months and months and months.

720
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: I have Aaron Well, the Mets did win tonight. That

721
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: is true. It feels like months and months night. It

722
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: has been a minute. Yes, I have Aaron Rodgers back

723
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: on the headline he made today. Okay, and I never

724
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: thought it'd it, but I do. Aaron Rodgers today says

725
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: that he can't stand the helmet that he has to

726
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: wear this year. Uh, not practicing with the right helmet

727
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: because his old helmet that he wore for a long

728
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: time no longer is up to standards for the NFL. Right,

729
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: he had the shut Air XP pro Q eleven Ltd.

730
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: Which come on, it's that. That's way too long of

731
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: a name for a helmet. It's the shut per Air

732
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: pro XP. Like, that's it, man, you gotta once you're

733
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: into what could be a cadence, you gotta stop. That's enough.

734
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: But it didn't meet the NFL's new safety standards, and

735
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is very upset about that, saying I don't

736
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: like it. I'm trying to change. We're in the process.

737
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: The new helmet I'm wearing looks like a damn spaceship

738
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: out there. Now, you figure, right, go come on? Used

739
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: to it? Your old helmet stuck? Yeah, he sounds like

740
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm an old football player. I want to wear the

741
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: old leather helmet that I broke into the league with

742
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 1: all those years ago, and when I played for Army

743
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: and we won the national championship by going seven to

744
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: zero and and and beating Columbia to winning the title

745
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: six Nothing like I understand that. I I get that.

746
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: You want you know he wants. He sounds like an

747
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: old guy, But I get it, right, I get and

748
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: I think anybody who's ever played football, the helmet is

749
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: the biggest inconvenience. It's the biggest piece of equipment that

750
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: you have to get used to. And when you've been

751
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: wearing one for so long, yeah, wearing a different ones

752
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: a big deal. Like whenever kids go to football camps, right,

753
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: Like kids go to football camps and in the in

754
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: the summer, and they go they go to a camp.

755
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: It's never a hitting camp because obviously there's too much liability,

756
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: but it's always helmets, sometimes shoulder pants, but it's always helmets.

757
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: Why Because helmet is the biggest piece of equipment you

758
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: need to get used to in the NFL, and and

759
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: and and at any level at high school, at pee

760
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: wee and college everything. And I still I can remember

761
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: and I remember how I went through playing football in

762
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: high school with a helmet and buy a helmet was

763
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. It was so tight, And I wore it

764
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: every day for three and a half hours and I

765
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: ran laps in it, and we did and we practiced,

766
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: and it was so tight and so uncomfortable. And I

767
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: don't understand how I wore it because I put on

768
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: a helmet now going this is the I gotta take it.

769
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: This is the worst thing ever is the worst. The

770
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: worst thing I could ever do is put this helmet on.

771
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 3: I just remember that I played a year with a

772
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: helmet that was just way too small and couldn't go

773
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 3: through it again. So they actually did a bake sale

774
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: to get me, and I had one of the first

775
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: air helmets.

776
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: Because my head was yeah, it happens.

777
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: Actually this the swollen dome was legit long before it

778
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: became a moniker because I couldn't fit my head in

779
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 3: a two shot.

780
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: But for a season it was smaller because your helmet

781
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: crushed you and kept it was awful, right, And then

782
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: they gave me the air helmet, but we then spent

783
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: weeks trying to figure out what the proper inflation of

784
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: that was before it started to hurt and become an issue.

785
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: So, yeah, it becomes a big deal. And for veteran

786
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 3: players like this, you're used to one thing, so when

787
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 3: the models change, where one gets put out a favor

788
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: because it doesn't pass the same safety and health specifications

789
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 3: that you're at in twenty twenty five, Yeah, it's pain

790
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: in the ass.

791
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, look, I've worn this shut helmet and

792
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: Steve thee Steve Shut helmet. Boy, there's a dated reference

793
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: for you. I've wondered for twenty years and somehow it

794
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: finally didn't pass the safety standard. You know, I'd be

795
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: okay with saying, hey, you want to sign a waiver,

796
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: wear your old helmet.

797
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're gonna let me bring my amone, you know,

798
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: smelling salt to whatever, it's bring my own that. How

799
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: about I bring my own helmet while I'm at it.

800
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: We're still in the whole world of concussion protocol questions.

801
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll sign a waiver, I want to wear this helmet.

802
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: I feel fine, I'll sign. I'll sign that.

803
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: I figured you you were gonna go to his comments

804
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: because he was asked about cam Hayward sitting out. It's

805
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: like and he went complete corporate Aaron Rodgers of you know, guys,

806
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 3: gotta you know, look into his contract if he's not

807
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: happy or what like. No, Cam Hayward a couple of

808
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: months ago was telling you to get off your ass

00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 3: and sign.

810
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: How about you do the same. I would have been used.

811
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: We need you here now. Figured out the helmet thing.

812
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: A couple of months ago were wearing a brand new helmet.

813
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Tell you what. That's how it is. I feel it.

814
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we should wear helmets for a while. No, no,

815
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: we're never gonna do that.

816
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: No, that again, that is the I got a place

Speaker 3: back in the day.

819
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna try it because a couple of

820
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: times I've tried, they said, oh, this helmet will fit you,

821
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: and I tried, No, I'm not gonna jam off. No,

827
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: was able to do that for three for the game

828
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: man man, it was all Billy Chapel. It was just

829
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: Vin Scully was in your head every play. And my

830
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: first year I didn't even have a great helmet because

831
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: I joined late, so I got like the dregs. Like

832
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: I wore like a max Pro helmet, which is like

833
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: that's like like I didn't even know that would pass

834
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: anything to put it together with duct tape. Oh it was.

835
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: It was so much like this looks like such a

836
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: low rent helmet, man, I gotta wear this all season,

837
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: and any one of those big cages in front, like

838
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: I can't even seven. Then you were playing defensive backs.

839
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: That was terrible. It was the worst, man, Aaron Rodgers.

840
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,040
