Speaker 1: m uh huh uh huh. First night of the NBA

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: in the book. It's kind of fun, right, kind of fun.

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 1: And you know, there's industry things that we talk about

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: too much on radio, and there's you know, it's like

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: we've talked about the changing of announcers, the changing of broadcast,

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: broadcast networks. Let's just be honest. It was a little

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: bit weird to have to see the Peacock and NBC

23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: broadcasting last night's games, and you know some of the tone,

24
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: and obviously Mike Turrico just has such a warm and

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: inviting voice. But then you hear you know, Reggie Miller,

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait a second, I'm so used to

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: hearing Reggie Miller usually with TNT, and people don't pay

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: that much attention to allow to play by play voices.

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like the same thing. There was

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: one difference. Michael Jeffrey Jordan was involved. Now he's not

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: at the desk, he's not Charles Barkley, He's he's doing

32
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: his own thing. He's sitting in a chair basically getting

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: interviewed by Mike Turico, and that's how they're gonna present him.

34
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: And of course he gave you one classic Jordan confident

35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: sort of moment right where he talked about shooting a

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: free throw in front of some kids at some house

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: that he rented, and and you know, well, here's the story.

38
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: Do you ever pick up a ball and to shoot?

39
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: I haven't picked up a ball in years.

40
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: Come on, just like walk past, there's got to be

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: a hoop somewhere at your place. You don't see a

42
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: hoop anywhere around here. I don't. It's the last time

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: you pick up a basketball and shot it. I was

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: at the right a cup. Yeah, and I rented a

45
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: house from from the owner. Sure, he came over to

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: do pictures, he grandkids, and I was beating greet and

47
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: thank them for allowing me to stay in the house.

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: And he had a basketball court. He says, I want

49
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: you to shoot one free throw. I said, really, I

50
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: already paid for the already paid for the house. It's

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: likely you got to see me. So when I stepped

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: up to shoot your free throw, it's the most nervous

53
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: I've been in year. Stop it in years.

54
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: Stop it come on.

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: The reason being is those kids heard the stories from

56
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: the parents about what I did thirty years ago. Right,

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: So the expectation is thirty years prior and I haven't

58
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: touched the basketball. I hope you switched it. Absolutely.

59
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: So there's the there's the Jordan Larry Bird. Of course,

60
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I still got a kid sort of moment is the

61
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. So here's what

62
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to do. I'm gonna give you a couple

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of thoughts and then all of it. We all have

64
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: thoughts on this because I know we were on a

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: little group text chain and guys have different feelings about

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: different things. The first is it's brilliant to have Jordan involved.

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: Back when NBC had the NBA and the NBA was king,

68
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: it was because of Michael Jordan. So I know, you

69
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: know Jay stew said he saw it was forty million

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: dollars for him. It's worth every penny. It just is.

71
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: It brings automatic credibility to what you do. And I

72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: get that Magic Johnson was a complete has been a

73
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: complete waste of time with NBC, with the ESPN when

74
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: he's been broadcasting. It doesn't bring credibility. I got it.

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: But remember that was with ESPN who already had it,

76
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: and they put Magic Johnson up on the desk where

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: he has to be an analyst. And that's not what

78
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson does. It's just not so for NBC. It

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: it's just like the reason that they they purchased back

80
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: what's the song called the hoop?

81
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: Uh?

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: What is that called round ball Rock?

83
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Right?

84
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: Round Ball Rock? Actually Fox FS one least the rights

85
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: to round Ball Rock, and then NBC bought it back,

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: and the whole reason you have, Jordan, the whole reason

87
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: you have round Ball Rock is to kind of wake

88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: up those memories in your mind of thirty years ago,

89
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: back when the NBA was king. It was great, and

90
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: then the actual product of the NBA last night was

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: also outstanding. And what happens with the NBA is the

92
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: same thing that's happened with baseball, and in some ways

93
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: it's converse to what's happened in the NFL. And Jason,

94
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: you yourself pointed out all the time, like anybody, the NFL

95
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: is almost laughing at the fact that we'll watch any game,

96
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: no matter how bad that Seattle game was on Monday night,

97
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: people are still gonna watch. Why it's the NFL is

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: like I got some money on I got a fantasy football,

99
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: I gotta watch it. But the product is far inferior

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: to the perception of the product, Whereas in baseball, the

101
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: perception is it's boring, it's slow, it's unathletic, and it

102
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: isn't as fast as the other you know, hockey obviously,

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: even but basketball and football, but it's way fast as

104
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: it used to be. It's way more athletic than used

105
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: to be. And it's really exciting. The pitch clock works,

106
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: the new bases work, the new rules work, and then

107
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: it's brought back athleticism and rallies back into the game.

108
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: The same thing for the NBA. The perception is they

109
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: don't care. Perception is they don't play defense and all

110
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: they do is shoot threes. It's like a bad old

111
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: man pickup game. You dribble down and shoot a three.

112
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: Brother in law ball, meaning you don't guard me, I

113
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: don't guard you. And if you watched last night the

114
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder, they were garden the

115
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: whole night and Houston wasn't far behind, and the game

116
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: goes into you know, into overtime, and it's a hard

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: fought feels like a playoff game, unbelievable intensity. But if

118
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: you didn't watch, you're like, eh, they just shout a

119
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: bunch of threes and don't play hard until the last

120
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: five minutes of the game. We can pick apart and

121
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: talk about the broadcast, but I would say that the

122
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: actual game was a really good fun watch where they

123
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: it was the opposite of what you would assume. Those

124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: teams played hard and played great defense and were super

125
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: super competitive and as far as the NBC thing, I

126
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: think it's I just feel like it's one of those

127
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: we make a way, big, way bigger deal of it

128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: than should actually be made. I do think that when

129
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: they get to some of the other networks, you know,

130
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: the Amazon Brian, they have so many people who have

131
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: never done TV before and their big names. I don't

132
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: think it'll be particularly good, much like Amazon's Thursday Night package,

133
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: which some guys have grown into being quality analysts. Some

134
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: just aren't very good. But it's really hard when you

135
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: have all new people. I think Amazon run into this,

136
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: but NBC feels like Turner Light having Tariko, who's just

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: solid and steady, and whether you like or don't love

138
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller, his voice is synonymous. And oh yeah, by

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: the way, the last time Reggie Miller was playing and

140
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: it was interesting was when Jordan played well and NBC

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: had had the rights had the rights byr What did

142
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: you think of Jordan's part of it?

143
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: I did not see it live. I only consumed it

144
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: via social media. So the point that someone made on

145
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: social media, and I can't remember who it was, was

146
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 5: there's this whole excitement about Jordan being rolled out and

147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 5: is this just a sit down with him for three

148
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: hours and then going to play various segments throughout the year.

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: Like that was my question. I thought it was entertaining.

150
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 5: I thought it was it was put together very well.

151
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 5: But if this is we're going to see the same

152
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 5: setup of Toeco at Jordan in January, just reminiscing or

153
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: talking about certain things, then I don't know if if

154
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 5: that's what we all thought it was going to be.

155
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 5: But I thought the three minutes that I saw, I

156
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: thought we're entertaining.

157
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: And then did you notice any difference in the actual

158
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: game broadcast?

159
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 5: I looked at like the score bug was actually something

160
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 5: that I looked at. I'm like, all right, how does

161
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 5: this feel? I did get a little different sense. It

162
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 5: did feel like it was on network TV as opposed

163
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: to say ESPN or TNT. And I know it's easy

164
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 5: to take shots at ESPN for stuff, but I felt

165
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 5: that last night's game felt more like an event. And

166
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 5: I feel like sometimes ESPN's broadcast are this is what's

167
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: coming up after PTI, and so I felt like it

168
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 5: was a bigger sort of sort of event last night.

169
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 6: Jase do I saw the same thing Dan did on

170
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: social media, so either it was one person or it

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 6: was like an amalgamation of a lot of people, Like

172
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 6: this is what the Jordan piece is. I had to be,

173
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 6: I had to check and he gets forty million bucks

174
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 6: a year to do this. Remember when it first came

175
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 6: out that they were adding him, my opinion was that

176
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 6: it's going to diminish what his reputation is if he's

177
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 6: up there doing analysis work, Like do we really want

178
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 6: to see this mysterious guy who's so cool, he's everything

179
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 6: Lebron wants to be reputation wise? Why would he go

180
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 6: on TV and tarnish that by giving us hot takes.

181
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 6: I'm glad they're not doing that. But to Dan's point,

182
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 6: they're just going to cut up interview segments with Rico

183
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 6: and paying forty million bucks. The part that's incredible to

184
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 6: me is that Twitter is a cesspool. Twitter finds the

185
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 6: negative in everything. If you want to see something that

186
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 6: you hate being bashed, you go to Twitter. It runs

187
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 6: like ninety nine percent positive on Jordan last night. Everyone

188
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 6: loved it all the blue check marks. They loved it.

189
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 6: Love Jordan. I will call b us on one thing.

190
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 6: The interview opened this way.

191
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: You let us bring a camera too, to your place

192
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: here to talk to you about basketball. Why do you

193
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: want to share what you're thinking about basketball?

194
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: Now?

195
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: It's pay it forward? You know, I have an obligation

196
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: to the game of basketball, not financially. I'm okay. I

197
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: mean I think more or less from as a basketball

198
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: player is to be able to pass on messages of

199
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: success and dedication to the game of basketball.

200
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 6: I think that sounds good. I think it's laughable, and

201
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 6: if you believe it, you're not smart. I think instead

202
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 6: of paying forward, he should have said, pay it into

203
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 6: my bank account. So there's motivations for him be doing this,

204
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: I think are laffable. He would have done it much sooner,

205
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 6: but that was are my thoughts.

206
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Sam.

207
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 7: Did you watch No, I didn't watch a lick of

208
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 7: basketball last night. I did just catch the same clip

209
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 7: that Dan was talking about, and I do find it

210
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 7: funny pay it forward the forty million to me paid forward. No,

211
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 7: it'll be I agree with everybody's points. I think the

212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 7: more that Michael Jordan opens his mouth, UH will probably

213
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 7: be like there'll be more, you know, opinions swaying either

214
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 7: way on him and UH. In terms of Peacock's production,

215
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 7: I've only seen football. I love it, but I haven't

216
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 7: seen any basketball yet. He's doing it for the for

217
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 7: the same reason why the last dance came out. He

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 7: has he has creative control. I think he's gonna tell

219
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 7: a story where he misses a free throw like no,

220
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 7: and then and then.

221
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: That's that's a great that's a great point.

222
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: So that's I Also, do you guys notice on the graphic,

223
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: because it was plainly obvious that the way that the

224
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 5: graphic is constructed, the Roman numeral of six is highlighted.

225
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 5: So you see this V I for the six championships,

226
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 5: you guys notice that, yes, yes, So again it's a reminder.

227
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 5: I've won six titles. So if you just look at

228
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: the graphic of what what is it insights to whatever

229
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: it is on the bottom part. And even when the

230
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 5: graphic is put in motion, the v I that is

231
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: formed from the logo is highlighted. And so that to

232
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 5: me tells me all we need to know about why

233
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 5: he's doing this. This is a reminder. And Doug you tweeted,

234
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: this is my king hook line and sinker Doug's on

235
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 5: the hook. That's what this is about.

236
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: Totally Again, I'm just I could I could I could

237
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: try and like decipher it. Now I'm gonna defend and

238
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: we talked about this a little bit in the pod.

239
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: The POD's available at the top of the third hour

240
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Snug Outleb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I point

241
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: out that George W. Bush, when he gets paid and

242
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: he gets paid a ton of money to go speak somewhere,

243
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: this is what he does. He sits in the couch

244
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: and somebody interviews him and he just tells stories. And

245
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: I actually think that's genius because of exactly what Jay

246
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Snus said, where put him on the desk, make him

247
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: analyze something and that's hard, that is really really difficult.

248
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Not what he does now, he's just being Michael Jordan.

249
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: And I'll also defend him with the forty million dollars

250
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: he's making. When you're Michael Jordan, you can't give you

251
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: can't give away, you can't give it up for free.

252
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: That's just you just cannot. Because the second it gets

253
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: out that Michael Jordan is doing something for half his

254
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: normal rate, then all of a sudden, all the vultures

255
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: are coming. Hey, you did it for NBC for you know,

256
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: way less than your normal rate. No, no, no, if

257
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: you want Michael Jordan. You have to pay Michael Jordan prices.

258
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: So I do not agree with you. Jase stew I

259
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: understand that he's sitting there going but he really doesn't

260
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: have to do it. He doesn't have to do it.

261
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: He's just doing what Peyton Manning did, What Pey man

262
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: does the same thing. He doesn't want to broadcast games

263
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: in a booth, he doesn't want to be in a desk,

264
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: but he wants to talk about football, wants to stay relevant,

265
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: so he does the Manning cast, and this is his

266
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: way of staying relevant, making money, being involved, also continuing

267
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: to remind people I'm still the greatest of all time

268
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: and this is the network that is most associated with

269
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: the time in which I was great.

270
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: Yes, Dan, here's here's where the Jordan and this is.

271
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: I wasn't a Jordan hater, just never was a Jordan fan.

272
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 5: Jordan wants this again, that he's giving back to basketball.

273
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 5: The last dance videos were sat on for how many years?

274
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: Twenty two years before they were actually released, and we

275
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 5: have talked about why they were released at that point,

276
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: and it's because Lebron James was encroaching in on Jordan's

277
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: reign as possibly the greatest player ever. So now we

278
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: have this ten part documentary series. COVID was separate of that,

279
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: Like this thing was in the works, it was moved

280
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: up because of COVID the release, but they were going

281
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 5: to release this ten part doc because Jordan finally gave

282
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: the okay to it. And he talks about giving back

283
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: to basketball as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets. I

284
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: vividly were remember their season starting and he mentioned the

285
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 5: Ryder Cup of Jordan being at a Ryder Cup when

286
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 5: his Hornets were starting a season at one point, and

287
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: to me, that was, all right, where are your priorities then,

288
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 5: do you really want to be? You know, you're giving

289
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: back to basketball? May have been Let's make the Charlotte

290
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: Hornets an actual winner, Let's turn them into something. And

291
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 5: so that's why I always think this stuff is a

292
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: bit contrived when it comes to Jordan. I also set

293
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: you guys the images on the group text of his logo.

294
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: I saw it's actually really cool. But again, these are

295
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: the type of things that make a guy of his

296
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: ego super excited about doing it. Hey man, you know,

297
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: check this out. It's actually a really good touch. It's

298
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: a really, really good touch. Speaking of pros Doug gottlip

00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: listen to. He's our Fox Sports Radio MLB insider and

312
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: reporter for the MLB Network, John Morosi joins us here

313
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. And John,

314
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: I think the first thing that pops up in most

315
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: people's minds with the level of dominance that the Dodgers

316
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: had in the NLCS versus the unbelievable ending to the

317
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: alcs's the rest versus rust. What are the Dodgers doing

318
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: to prepare themselves for the World Series, considering the amount

319
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: of time that they've.

320
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 9: Had off well, Doug at Afternoon Happy World Series coming

321
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 9: up a great time of the year, it does seem

322
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 9: to me that Dodgers has done a pretty good job

323
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 9: of planning out this time the best they can. It

324
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 9: certainly has been an issue for teams in the past

325
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 9: when when you're not playing for a while, that can

326
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 9: be a real challenge. I covered multiple Detroit Tigers World

327
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 9: Series in which they were they had the longer layoff

328
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 9: and really suffered from it. I do think it advantages

329
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 9: the Dodgers that, yes, they can have a couple of

330
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 9: workouts at Dodger Stadium and then you've got to make

331
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 9: the travel to go to the next city to begin

332
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 9: the World Series on the road. So it's not as

333
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 9: though they're getting too stale by staying at home for

334
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 9: too long. And of course it does help this team.

335
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 9: Many of the players Doug had a very similar experience

336
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 9: just a year ago being in the World Series. So

337
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 9: this seems to me to be a Dodger team that's

338
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 9: going to be able to handle this long layoff before

339
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 9: Game one.

340
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: Okay, does the rotation change at all considering the amount

341
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: of time off.

342
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 9: No, it doesn't, and nor should it. They're going to

343
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 9: have to begin this World Series Blake Snow starting out

344
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 9: Yoshinobu Yamamoto with Game two. Dave Roberts is confirmed that

345
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 9: much of it. I would expect we'll see a similar

346
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 9: plan with Tyler Glass now and showe a Otani in

347
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 9: Games three and four. There are very few teams, doug

348
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 9: that have the type of starting depth that the Dodgers do,

349
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 9: and I think we should be clear and saying that

350
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 9: it wasn't always apparent that they would have had this

351
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 9: amount of depth during the course of the season, because

352
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 9: they had different injuries that they that they incurred, other

353
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 9: things that happened to them during the course of the

354
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 9: year where they had to build up this depth as

355
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 9: time gradually went along. But now that they've got it,

356
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 9: now that Yamamoto has dialed in, now that Blake Snell

357
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 9: is pitching like a Saiah winner again, They've They've got Otani,

358
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 9: by the way, pitching Game four for goodness sake, Toby.

359
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 9: They have so much depth right now, and I think

360
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 9: the bullpen has gotten into a good space too, to

361
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 9: where yes, Toronto has what I would say is a

362
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 9: very good, contact oriented lineup, but they're running up against

363
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 9: one of the best swinging misstaffs we have ever seen,

364
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 9: Frankly Doug in recent years.

365
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's uh, let's dig in the to the

366
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Otani thing. He didn't hit particularly, he didn't hit hardly

367
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: at all, right, and then all of a sudden he

368
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: has this unbelievable performance. We look back on last year's

369
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: World Series and the Yankees did a really good job,

370
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: really good job on him. What what Obviously it fell

371
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: apart in Game four, But what were the Brewers? What

372
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: are the Yankees? What are these teams done to stifle

373
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: one of the greatest hitters, if not the greatest hitter

374
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: of all time.

375
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: Well, it's trying to keep him uncomfortable, Doug, and I

376
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 4: think you could do that through a combination of a

377
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 4: couple of different elements. It's probably trying to as best

378
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: you can. UH have breaking pitches that challenge him, try

379
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 4: to get him a little bit into swing mode where

380
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 4: maybe you're you're getting him and counts where he's expecting

381
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: fastball and instead you flip a breaking ball in. I

382
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: do think trying to get him below the zone and

383
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 4: get him to chase a little bit is how you

384
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: can have success. Now, obviously that's a two part equation.

385
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: He's not always going to chase, but when when you

386
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: do get him in situations where he's got to face

387
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: a split which is the main pitch of Gossman, it's

388
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: the main pitch of you Savage. So he's gonna see

389
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 4: it in games one and two. I think you look

390
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: at what's happening potentially in the in game three four,

391
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: I look at it and say, there are enough weapons

392
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: that the Jays can throw at him and different types

393
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: of pitches on it. I thought Bieber's slider looked really

394
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: good in the second of his two starts there against

395
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: the Mariners in the America League Championship Series. So even

396
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 4: though you don't have the kind of lefties that you

397
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: would love to run up against Otani, and maybe that's

398
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 4: gonna put a little bit of a burden on the

399
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: Toronto bullpen. I do think when when the Jays are

400
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 4: when the Jays pitchers are in form, you do have

401
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 4: the types of guys like Bieber and you Savage in particular,

402
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: who can be a little bit split neutral, and so

403
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 4: I think that their their ability to locate the splitter

404
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: down under the zone, disguise it like a fastball, and

405
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: get O Tani in swing mode. That's when you can

406
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 4: add success getting him out of the zone. If you're

407
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: giving him fastballs in the zone, you might as well

408
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: forget about it because he's just going to crush those.

409
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 4: And I think if you try to elevate a fastball,

410
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 4: he can get on top of that as well as anybody.

411
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 4: We saw him hit a ball out of the stadium

412
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 4: at Dodgers Stadium. This is These are just other worldly

413
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 4: superhero things that Otani is doing. So I think that

414
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: the key thing is going to be, especially for a

415
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: team that has all right handed starting pitchers Doug, They're

416
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: going to have to locate their secondary stuff down And

417
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 4: I think that where Goslin got in trouble the first

418
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 4: time he started was when he had that that splitter

419
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: a little bit too high to cal Raley. If you

420
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 4: have things that are thigh high, so Otani is just

421
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: it's not.

422
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 9: Going to work.

423
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 4: You've got to be down out of the zone and

424
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 4: then find ways to get him to Chase.

425
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, John Morosi

426
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: is is joining us on the other side you have

427
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Lad Guerrero Junior. He's he's had his own struggles in

428
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: the postseason. What are people doing to Vlad?

429
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: Well?

430
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: Lad? I mean when you look at what he's been

431
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 4: able to do the last the last round, he's been

432
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: amazing and he's been in the American League, the Championship Series, MVP.

433
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: I think that in terms of what the Dodgers will

434
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: do to him?

435
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 9: What you I think.

436
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 4: What the book is on Vlad and it's obviously been

437
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: mixed results because because the Mariners weren't able to always

438
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 4: keep him in the ballpark. Is he's able to hit

439
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: the ball so well to the opposite field, to where

440
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: sometimes with certain right handed hitters you're saying, well, to

441
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 4: keep the ball away from him, Well, you do that

442
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 4: to Vladdie, he's already showed he could hit the ball

443
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: out of the stadium to right field as well. He

444
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: looks to me and Doug I covered Miguel Cabrera Detroit

445
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 4: for a long time. He looks like early career Miguel

446
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: and and Migulka Brea is gonna be in Hall of Fame,

447
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: and Vlad has a decent chance to join his dad

448
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame, which is pretty amazing to say.

449
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm seeing there is is you're gonna

450
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 4: have to if if you are if you're the Dodgers,

451
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 4: You're not gonna just be able to get him out

452
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: over the plate. You're gonna have to command the ball

453
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: in off the plate well to then earn the right

454
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 4: to be able to go outside. And I think that's

455
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 4: that's the challenge, even for a team that's got great

456
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 4: stuff like the Dodgers do as a as a group

457
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: of pitchers. I do think Yamamoto's stuff of all the matchups,

458
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 4: he probably fits the best in terms of the way

459
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: that Yoshinovo game plans. We sell them have that complete

460
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 4: game against the Brewers. Actually think game one. I like

461
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 4: the Jays chances to win Game one. Blake Snell is amazing,

462
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 4: of course, but that allows the Jays to get their

463
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 4: right handed bats in there. And while Snell is able

464
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 4: to command, you know, cutter sink or you can kind

465
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: of move the ball around a little bit, command both

466
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 4: sides of the plate. I think that the matchup of

467
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: Laddie against Snell, the matchup of Springer against Snell, I

468
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 4: think that the I think Toronto Blue Jays have a

469
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: decent chance in that Game one, and we'll see Doug

470
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: if they end up being able to activate Bobachett, who

471
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: of course has missed the initial rounds of the playoffs

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: due to a knee injury, but told me after Game

473
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 4: seven of the celebration he is good to go for

474
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: the World Series. So we'll see what role, if any,

475
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 4: Bowl might have. Maybe he's gonna be more of a

476
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 4: pinch hitter type, Doug. But I'm curious to see what

477
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 4: type of decisions that Toronto Blue Jays make about Boba

478
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: Schet think.

479
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: About this, vladd who was I mean, he hit over

480
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: four to forty in the playoffs so far, but against

481
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: lefties in the entire year regular season three to twenty

482
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: six on base forty three percent of the time OPS

483
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: is nine forty six. Against right he's still respectable two

484
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: eighty two on base three sixty seven and eight point

485
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: eight eight eighteen OPS just so much higher against lefties,

486
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: crazy amount amount higher against lefties. So I mean, you're

487
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: talking about, uh, what is it? You know, forty three

488
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: percent of the time he's on base as opposed to

489
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of the time beyond base.

490
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: And then the.

491
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: OPS beaks so higher. It's it's really interesting that That's

492
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: why I asked if they're going to keep the rotation

493
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: the way it is. But again, you have Blake's now,

494
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: who's been in these big moments, right, what about the

495
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen, which has been the bane of our guy,

496
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Jason Stewart's existence. And they they did enough to sweep

497
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: the Brewers, but Game one was still very very alarming.

498
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: What do you think the plan is in terms of

499
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: who they're going to use in the World Series.

500
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Doug, I let Jase to know

501
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: that I've got to send condolences because he's had to

502
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: deal with the grand total of one playoff loss this

503
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: whole month. I know it's been real hard on him.

504
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: I mean, you lose one game and it's a crisis.

505
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 4: But they're actually they're doing okay. I think that the

506
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: fact that Blake Trinon has returned to the circle of

507
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 4: trust is really important because I know, obviously Blake and

508
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 4: struggles down the stretch, and obviously the game Game one

509
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 4: against Milwaukee was a little frightful for the Dodgers. There's

510
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: there's a little bit of I think confidence rebuilding now

511
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: in him and to me, the steadiness of trying is

512
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: really important in the ability for Roki Sasaki to be

513
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 4: settled now as as the late game option, and I

514
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 4: think you credit the Dodgers. I know Jeff Passen wrote

515
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: about this late on in the season about the kind

516
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 4: of workshop they did with Roki to get him lined

517
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 4: up and to get him better. I just thought overall,

518
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: tremendous work that he that Roki's been able to do

519
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: to get comfortable again in a late ending situation and

520
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 4: really embrace his new role. So I think that those

521
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: two guys stand out to me as being the most

522
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: important trying in Susaki. And then we'll see what what

523
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 4: Besty is able to do in terms of being a

524
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 4: legit left handed option They've got. The Jays have a

525
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: number of key lefties. Lucas is really important to them,

526
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 4: Addison Barge is really important them. Dalton varshow had a

527
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: huge hit in Game seven, so I'm curious to see

528
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: a little bit of what that will mean for the

529
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 4: overall bullpen planning now of this team. Again, I think

530
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 4: that there's enough depth for the Dodgers to be able

531
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: to navigate this, and who knows, maybe in certain spots

532
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 4: we'll see what this means later on down the line.

533
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 4: Does does Glass now pop out there for an appearance

534
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: here and there. But I think that the success of

535
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 4: the Dodgers in the especially in the NLCS, I think

536
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: was predicated largely on the fact that very few pitchers

537
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: had to touch the ball. Their starters got so deep

538
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: that the bullpen did almost didn't have an opportunity to

539
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 4: become a problem. And I think it's going to have

540
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: to be a similar situation here to where the starters

541
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 4: need to go deep. And I think this now feeds

542
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: into what we're talking about with the Toronto Blue Jays.

543
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 4: If they're able to work deeper at bats, if they're

544
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 4: able to force the starters to leave after six innings

545
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 4: instead of seven, then you have to cover three more

546
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 4: outs of the bullpen, and then you're giving the Dodger

547
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: bullpen a chance to become a negative impact on this

548
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: series if you're the Dodger. So I'll be curious to

549
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: me to see not just in Game one, how many

550
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: runs this score against now, but how many how many

551
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 4: pitches can they make him have to work through early?

552
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: If you could, if you get a high pitch count

553
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 4: Blakes Now, then all of a sudden, the Dodger bullpen

554
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: needs to be relied on a bit more, and I

555
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: think that's what could swing the series into Toronto's favor.

556
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, John Rossi

557
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: is our guest. You know, I was thinking you were

558
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: talking about you like Toronto game one, and you brought

559
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: up a lot of good reasons why, And then I

560
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: was thinking again out loud, is I get the rust thing.

561
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: But if you're the Dodgers, and it's better off to

562
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: start on the road that way, if you just get

563
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: a split, you have home field advantage when you come

564
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: back home. But the Blue Jays have been great on

565
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: the road, right, Look what they did Seattle on the road.

566
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: They've been They've been really really good in the road.

567
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: Is there any difference in your mind in these venues

568
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: and the ultimate and the outcomes.

569
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. I think that Number one,

570
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: the Jays were able to play at Dodger Stadium this

571
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 4: year already once, and so I think that they don't.

572
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 4: Maybe the mystique and the and and the intimidation factor,

573
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 4: if you will, of playing at Dodger Stadium is probably

574
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 4: not as great for them as it would have been

575
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: if they hadn't been out there. Dodger Stadium is a

576
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 4: great environment. Toronto was one of the loudest stadiums I've

577
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: ever heard in my life with Finger at that home run.

578
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 9: Uh.

579
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: Seattle, by the way, was also very raucous. I don't

580
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 4: think the Jays are going to experience a more a

581
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 4: more raucous or more hostile environment than what they experienced

582
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 4: in Seattle already.

583
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

584
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 4: And they all they also went through Yankee Stadium. So

585
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: I mean, with all the respect to Dodger Stadium, which

586
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: is a great place to play and loud, I don't

587
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be any for the Jays and what

588
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 4: they've already experienced in New York and in Seattle. I

589
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: think that they've already gone through a couple quality teams.

590
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: They've already gone through a couple of difficult venues. They

591
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: split the two games in New York and they took

592
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: two out of three in Seattle, so they've shown they

593
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: can win games on the road. They're also a really

594
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 4: good home team during the course of the year. This

595
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 4: is a very close series. I think that those that

596
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: believe it's going to be a sweep for the Dodgers,

597
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: I just think that they're kind of missing how good

598
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: the Jays have been. They're also missing the quality of

599
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 4: the postseason type baseball of the Jays play, and part

600
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: of that is building rallies. I think one thing that

601
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 4: the Jays did better than the Mariners during the ALCS

602
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: was they would build a rally where it would be walk, single, double,

603
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 4: another base hit. They could build in a bunt. Where

604
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: the Mariners were very much home run dependent. The Jays,

605
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: while the biggest sing of their season was a home

606
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: run with Springer, they were also able to build rallies,

607
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: and that, to me is something that I think will

608
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: serve them very very well against the Dodgers. I think

609
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: we're gonna see two great atmospheres. Dodger Stadium, to me,

610
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: is still my favorite venue in sports. It's magic, especially

611
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 4: when you're there five o'clock Pacific time game, the sun's

612
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: reflecting off the San Gabriel's. You realize that God intended

613
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 4: for baseball, we played at that exact place at that

614
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 4: exact time, and you're just grateful to be there. So

615
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: there's gonna be that magic that exists. But I think

616
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 4: what they've got at Rogers Center. Now it's become a

617
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: state of the art venue. In the last couple of

618
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 4: years they've renovated it. The players love it there. It's

619
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: a true ballpark feel now, more than just a stadium.

620
