Speaker 4: and I are both big baseball guys, so it's great

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: that we're doing the show together as the start of

69
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: the baseball season goes. And Rob G obviously I was

70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 4: in San Francisco. I couldn't watch the game, but a

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: lot was made of Barry Bonds. I know Keith was

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: able to watch it, but just tell us what happened

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: as this historic game, one game only and it was

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: or Netflix A five o'clock stared out in San Francisco.

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: But there was a lot talked about that game.

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, mixed reviews to put it lightly, for Netflix's inaugural

77
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 8: MLB broadcast MLB Opening Night, Yankees roll over the Giants.

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 8: But most people, if you're on social media, were not

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 8: fans of what they saw from Netflix. More specifically, the Athletics,

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 8: Andrew mar Chan, Sportsill straight As, Jimmy Traina and so

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 8: many others were so upset about it that they penned

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 8: feature length articles discussing everything they didn't like about the broadcast.

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 8: It boiled down to four things. Number one, not enough

84
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 8: focus on the actual game. There was a lot of

85
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 8: you know, promotion of Netflix products, the WWE and so

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 8: on and so forth.

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: Number two, just when you spend all that money, you

88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean for that, they're trying to spend

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars for that first game, go on right.

90
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 8: Number two, they missed the first ABS challenge because they're

91
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 8: doing an in game interview of a manager. That was

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 8: something rub people the wrong way. Number three, that's that's

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 8: a store. The softball interview with Rob Manfred, they only

94
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 8: asked him four questions. Here are the questions. What was

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 8: your first opening day? When did you fall in love

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 8: with baseball? Can we get a ten run rule? And

97
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 8: isn't abs great? Nothing about the lockout? Nothing about any

98
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 8: controversies around in baseball?

99
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: And as non reporters, that's gotta be before we even

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 4: get to the baseball like, what are your feelings, you know,

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 4: baseball fans, this could be you know, the end of

102
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 4: the season. You know, like you just got to get

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: it out of the way and then you could get

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 4: into the pleasantries.

105
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 8: And last, but not least, the involvement of Barry Bonds. Now,

107
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 8: most people really enjoyed Barry Bonds, what he was bringing

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 8: to the table, his conversation. He seemed to be the

109
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 8: star of the night for the broadcast. Well people did

110
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 8: it like?

111
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: Though?

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 8: Was that Netflix went out of their way, it felt

113
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 8: like to glorify Barry Bond's seventy three home run season.

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 8: In fact, they had seventy three kayaks in McCovey Cove

115
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 8: in honor of Barry Bond historic home run March. So, guys,

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 8: I got a question for I know Robber, you don't

117
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 8: get to see it, but just in general, do you

118
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 8: have an issue with Netflix and Major League Baseball as

119
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 8: a whole celebrating Barry Bonds seventy three we'll call it

120
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 8: controversial home runs.

121
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that, No, I do not.

122
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: As you know, I'm a Baseball Hall of Fame voter

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: Keith and I voted for Barry Bonds all ten years.

124
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: And it's really simple. I'm not naive, I'm not dumb

125
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 4: to I think Barry Bonds was involved in the jews,

126
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 4: steroids and the controversy. Absolutely I do. I think a

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: lot of players were during that time. Here's where I

128
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: draw it.

129
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: A lot.

130
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: And the people I don't vote for are the people

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: who were busted and suspended by the league. The people

132
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: I vote for Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Mark mcgarth,

133
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: they never got busted, they never tested positive, and guess

134
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: what their records count. Barry Bonds is a home run king.

135
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: Don't you could go and say, oh, it's hek No,

136
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: it's not. When you open up that record book in

137
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: baseball's there. It's there, seventy three home runs in the season,

138
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: and he has the most home runs of any player ever,

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: So you can go ahead and play that game.

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: And act like what he did.

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: He didn't do, but we all watched it, So if

142
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: it counts for baseball, if it counts in the record books.

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: No one's saying, let's take away a couple of those

144
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: Red Sox World Series because Big, Poppy and many were

145
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: mirrors right along the juice right there, like we did.

146
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: We didn't, we didn't take them.

147
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: We're not taking those away, right, But but you want

148
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: to take away from Bonds. So I'm I'm cool with it,

149
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: and I know we're going to be in a minority.

150
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: A lot of people aren't feeling it. But if they

151
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: count in the record books, he's a home run champ.

152
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: Why shouldn't you talk.

153
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: We're in the future now.

154
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 7: The game was on Netflix, like you're logging into your

155
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 7: Netflix account to start the baseball season. We're also in

156
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 7: the future now where we don't care the younger generation,

157
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 7: we don't care that he used steroids.

158
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: We're over it. We got it.

159
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 7: The steroid injection. Didn't hit seventy three home runs, he did.

160
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 7: Maybe Netflix has a documentary on Barry Bonds to educate

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 7: the younger generation. Maybe they should do that, because Barry

162
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 7: was winning MVPs before that. He was nice before that

163
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 7: in Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh, so it's like, man, don't try

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 7: to discredit this guy. This guy is arguably the greatest

165
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 7: of all time. If you talked to most players, they

166
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 7: do say he's the greatest player. Aaron Judge says that

167
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 7: he doesn't have the real record Barry Bond. He grew

168
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 7: up a Barry Bonds Giants fan. Aaron Judge said, I

169
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 7: don't have the real record I watch. So why would

170
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 7: Netflix use that opportunity to act like this guy has

171
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 7: put a stain on the game and talk about him

172
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 7: in a negative way. What we're running into is all

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 7: of these curmudgeon bums. What we're running into is these

174
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 7: baseball nerds that are holier than thou. They want to

175
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 7: complain about the game, they want to complain about the broadcast.

176
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 7: They're just happy baseballs back and don't know how to

177
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 7: show it. Relax Netflix in Chill. I enjoyed it last night.

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously I'm a Yankee, right, But.

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing.

180
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 5: Too.

181
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: Bonds was working as a batting coach in the league

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 4: like exile. Mark McGuire had a job. He was what

183
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 4: with the Cardinals, and I think the dog.

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 9: Everybody mills a rod. Now he had a whole It's

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 9: a face of baseball on television. At one time he

186
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 9: was on fourteen and ESPN. And this is what I'm

187
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 9: trying to say. So I'm not going to sit here

188
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 9: and knock Netflix. The game was in San Francisco. You

189
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 9: use Barry as an analyst right on the desk. I

190
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 9: don't know how you get around it. How do you

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 9: act like none of that happened? It would go like

192
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 9: it would be like Opening Day in Cincinnati and not

193
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 9: mentioning Pete Rols. You you would mention him, wouldn't you.

194
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 7: Absolutely you would mention Rip, especially after he passed and you're.

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: In his house.

196
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 7: That's the house we Some of the most famous moments

197
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 7: in that place is watching that ball going to McCovey cove.

198
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 7: I like that They did the whole seventy three and

199
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 7: what do you expect? Like I said, they paid fifty

200
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 7: million dollars for that product. Placement were that advertisement. It

201
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 7: was Netflix's first game. Some of y'all were expecting it

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 7: to be ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. ESPN gave up Sunday

203
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 7: Night Baseball. They don't want it anymore. We are in

204
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 7: the future. This is what you get when a streaming

205
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 7: platform takes on the challenge of opening Night. They probably

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 7: have people that aren't really baseball people helicoptering in with

207
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 7: the creative.

208
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: I loved it.

209
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: I thought it was great. Some of y'all gotta come

210
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 7: off your high horse. Some of y'all gotta just chill

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 7: with your holier than now traditional baseball stuff. He cheated,

212
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: he's a steroid user. Yeah, but he's a legend. He's

213
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 7: a goat. And you're in the house that Barry built.

214
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: And here's the only thing that I wish. And again,

215
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: I was at the game, which was a beautiful night

216
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: in San Francisco.

217
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: Have you been to that park yet?

218
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 10: No?

219
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: I had a chance to go a couple of years ago.

220
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: I regret not going. Let me tell you something, you're

221
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: gonna get there that is. And the drone footage was amazing.

222
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 7: You didn't see that, But I'm like, I never saw

223
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 7: the stadium in that capacity, like the drone footage flying in.

224
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm like this is high production. It was three in

225
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: my top three, and I'm not.

226
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 4: I look at Dodgers Stadium, Wrigley Field, uh and Fenway

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 4: in a different league like your top three. No, no, no, no,

228
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 4: those are like the old time. I don't put them

229
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: in with the rest because you can't really do that. Yeah,

230
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: Like those are different, right, and even the old Yankee

231
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: Stadium would have been in that, not the new one.

232
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: But my three favorite parks would be.

233
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 4: Oracle which I call pack Bell when it first opened, Okay,

234
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh PNC Parks beautiful been there, yeah, thirty eight thousand seats,

235
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: beautiful view of Pittsburgh. And Camden Yards in Baltimore, which

236
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: was a new retro smaller ballpark, making that place right.

237
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

238
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 4: So those are my three and those are all recently built.

239
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: And that doesn't mean that the park in San Diego

240
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: peck Co is not beautiful. There's a lot of great

241
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: baseball stadium sure, but those three would be mine.

242
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: So I get why they include to bonds.

243
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: It only made sense if you're going to San Francisco,

244
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: and if they wanted to broadcast, if they wanted to

245
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: dive into it. The only thing I would have asked

246
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 4: Barry Bond. Yes, you didn't get in by the writers

247
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 4: for ten years. You came close last year, right, it

248
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: was just short. But you also had two chances where

249
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 4: former players could have voted for you, and Keith they

250
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 4: didn't vote for him, so that that would have been

251
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 4: my rather than rehashing everything. How bummed out are you

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 4: that the two chances you had with former players who

253
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 4: played the game, they know what it takes, did not

254
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 4: vote you.

255
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 7: I think he's at peace with it, because you gotta

256
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 7: be a Barry Bond's head is the size of.

257
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: The whole ballpark.

258
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 7: And you know when they did Field the Dreams last year,

259
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 7: plug Netflix will have Field of Dreams this year. They

260
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 7: had Barry going back to the uh who's playing this year?

261
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 7: Twins and twins in Phillies, I believe this year, but

262
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 7: they're going back to Iowa. But Netflix will have the coverage,

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 7: and I guarantee you they will learn from this first

264
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: opening night and tweak some things and change some things.

265
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 7: But I remember Barry Bonds. They asked Barry, like, what

266
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 7: would you do on the mound against this guy? And

267
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 7: he said gone, Jeter asked him or something. He was like, gone,

268
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 7: Jeter like you know, they basically like interview Barry and

269
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 7: he talks as if he's the Grace of all times.

270
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 7: So I don't think that he's worried about the Hall

271
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 7: of Fame at this point.

272
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just a part of it. I mean,

273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: all those guys, I voted for all of them.

274
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean I did.

275
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 7: Excuse me, it wasn't it wasn't Field of Dreams. It

276
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 7: was actually the home run derby. No, it was the

277
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 7: game in Alabama at the Negro League Stadium. Okay, yeah,

278
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 7: I was there for that. I covered that as well.

279
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: You'd be at the next time. Send me a ticket,

280
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: send me some type of credential. I'm trying to you know,

281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: I was there. That was awesome.

282
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: Was in Birmingham, and if you remember, William Mage died

283
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: like two days before that, and that was supposed to

284
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: be like for him where he grew up down there,

285
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: and it was really something. I was really really impressed

286
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 4: by the way that thing was put on. All right,

287
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 4: we want to hear from you. Keith and I are

288
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: in agreement here on the odd couple. I know it

289
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: doesn't happen off, but maybe you don't feel good about it,

290
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: all right? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven,

291
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 4: nine nine, six sixty three sixty nine. Did you have

292
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: a problem with Netflix celebrating their celebration, I should say,

293
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Barry Bonds is seventy three home run season. We'll continue

Speaker 4: That's really where I'm at. But let's go and hear

339
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: what the people have to say. Let's start with the

340
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: trip in Vegas. You're on the odd couple of Fox

341
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. What's up, trip, Good afternoon.

342
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 11: I listen all the time. I don't always calling you

343
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 11: guys are great.

344
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. I really you know, we don't take that

345
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: for granted. Thank you.

346
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 11: No, I just love the banter. So it reminds me

347
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 11: talking with my boys. So yes, I don't understand at

348
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 11: a time in baseball when everything was legal, they act

349
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 11: like he did, Like you said, McGuire, Clemens did something

350
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 11: illegal and then bonds. No, he's my favorite player of

351
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 11: all time. He could be the greatest baseball player all time.

352
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 11: What people don't understand. He might have seen one pitch

353
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 11: in nine innings, we still hit it out. People were

354
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 11: afraid of him.

355
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, I don't know what to say.

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, thank you tripping anything wrong?

357
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 7: Didn't major League Baseball profit off of Mark McGuire, Sammy

358
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 7: Sosa that home run Chase.

359
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 4: Without a baseball. We don't know where it would have

360
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: been that it saved baseball. You remember fans were down

361
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: on baseball, off to the whole lockout and everything, and

362
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: then this home run chase. I remember ESPN cutting into

363
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 4: everything that they were brought. It didn't matter what was on.

364
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: When those guys came out, they put them on.

365
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 7: Now, how dare you talk about seventy three home runs

366
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 7: from Barry Bonds because he used steroids. People gotta stop,

367
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 7: like respect this man. He hit those balls out. He

368
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 7: was one of the most feared hitters, one of the

369
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 7: sweetest swings. I mean, I'm a younger generation guy, I'm

370
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 7: a millennial. I don't think any of us look at

371
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 7: Barry Bonds like some type of criminal. I had no

372
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 7: problem with it, but I get it. You know, in

373
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 7: the League of Shadows, you know, some people pick and

374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 7: choose who is who, and what.

375
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: Is what, and what is right and what is wrong.

376
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 4: No, there's no doubt eight seven, seven ninety nine on

377
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: Fox Johnny in Virginia, You're on the odd couple of

378
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio on a TV theme song Thursday.

379
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 13: What's up, Johnny Hey, Welcome back, Robin Hey, Keith, great

380
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 13: job thank you.

381
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 12: So two things.

382
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 13: One up in day is about the story of the game.

383
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 13: And you don't read a book. You don't read the

384
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 13: Bible and rip out Ephesians because you don't like that chapter.

385
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 12: Barry Bonds is.

386
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 13: A huge part of the history of the league. And

387
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 13: the second point is not everyone that watches Netflix watches

388
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 13: a lot of baseball. This is good for the league.

389
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 13: It's the history of the league. They get to, you know,

390
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 13: folks who don't watch the game get to figure out

391
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 13: some about something about the seventy three year season and

392
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 13: why that there's controversy around that. It only grows the

393
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 13: lore of the league. So people should be excited that

394
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 13: we're talking about baseball and the history of baseball. And

395
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 13: that's a thank to Netflix. And by the way, all

396
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 13: this great viewership that you're seeing from the WVC and

397
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 13: for the MLB over the last last couple of years,

398
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 13: that is because of streaming and the growth that they

399
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 13: see in that market. So I think it's good. And

400
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 13: if you're not telling the story, then you don't have

401
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 13: anything to talk about.

402
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Johnny, appreciate you like you

403

Speaker 4: year of covering Major League baseball?

430
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: Is that not crazy?

431
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: And I covered you in ninety two in Cincinnati? That

432
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 4: seems like a gazillion years ago.

433
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 12: Hey man, Rob, you're getting old, bro. I'm sorry you

434
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 12: aging on your own, brocause I got off that ship

435
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 12: a long time ago.

436
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: I hear you.

437
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: Let's start here.

438
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: With baseball, and you know, yesterday was a standalone game

439
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: on Netflix. Some people weren't didn't like it, the whole

440
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: idea that, you know, it's on the streaming service, everybody

441
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: can't get it, and baseball made a ton of money.

442
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: Off of it. But this is this is new.

443
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: What I did like, whether people like Netflix or not,

444
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 4: BIP was the idea that for one night, baseball was

445
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: standing by itself, just one game to focus in on,

446
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 4: you know, And I like the whole idea of making

447
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: that a special day.

448
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: How did you feel about that?

449
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 12: Yeah? I really enjoyed that, you know. And here in

450
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 12: the Bay Area it was the Giant so they got

451
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 12: to stand alone. Normally, the Giants would be competing with

452
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 12: the aids here in the Bay, but the ages are

453
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 12: gone now, so they're standing alone and now they're really

454
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 12: building their fan base. So they got a chance to

455
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 12: stand alone against one of the great teams of all time,

456
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 12: or should I say one of the great organizations of

457
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 12: all time, being the Yankees, you know. And so just

458
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 12: to see that one game on I think it captured

459
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 12: all of the attention that baseball really needs to really

460
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 12: get off to a good start. Now it was on Netflix,

461
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 12: something that's different than Yes or the other child that

462
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 12: it could be Fox or whatever, So it was a

463
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 12: little different when it comes to the broadcast, which you

464
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 12: know that was you know, I mean that's left up

465
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 12: a discussion, but just the fact that you know, you

466
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 12: were able to see base ball on the day when

467
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 12: everybody around the world could watch. And I think that's

468
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 12: what's big about baseball is really trying to get into

469
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 12: homes that normally don't have a chance.

470
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: To watch the game.

471
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 12: So people who are around the world watching the Yankees

472
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 12: and saying who are these guys, but then starting to

473
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 12: become household names because Aaron Judges on that team and

474
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 12: the giants who they are and the history they have

475
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 12: they're in the ballpark now, you know, Willie Mays and

476
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 12: Willie mccubby, and you go back to the history of

477
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 12: the Giants. But just to have baseball in homes around

478
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 12: the world where they don't even speak English but they

479
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 12: were watching. That just brings the eyes to baseball. That's

480
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 12: really needed at this time and day.

481
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got to ask you about the health of

482
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 7: the game. How do you feel about the state of baseball.

483
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 7: A lot of people still say that baseball is dying.

484
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 7: Baseball is not that popular. Numbers don't bear, it's not

485
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 7: the NFL, it's not the NBA. But coming off the

486
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic and what we saw last night on Netflix,

487
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 7: how do you feel about the health of the game

488
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty six?

489
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 12: I like where is man? And I like the fact

490
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 12: that WBC was really something that really brought excitement to

491
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 12: the game, you know. And I listened to Dusty Baker,

492
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 12: who was coaching the Nicaragua team, and he said, Man,

493
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 12: I can't believe how much fun they were happen. You know,

494
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 12: it was a thing where we take baseball too serious.

495
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 12: Over here, It's a fun game. It's a game of chess,

496
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 12: and every pitch has excitement to it. Every pitch has

497
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 12: action because you don't know what's going to happen. It's

498
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 12: the ultimate game to where it comes to. You don't

499
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 12: know what's going to happen from pitch to pitch. You know, football,

500
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 12: hey team is running to the left and continue to

501
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 12: run to the left. And basketball, somebody's hot, they give

502
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 12: him the ball all the time. But in baseball, remember

503
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 12: it's controlled by the pitcher. It's the defense always has

504
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 12: the ball and the offense is always trying to figure

505
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 12: out a way to do some damage to the guy

506
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 12: out there on the mound. So I just like where

507
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 12: there's a lot of young great players out there right now.

508
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 12: The Dodgers are a dominant team, but they're dominant team

509
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 12: because they know how to play baseball and everybody else

510
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 12: needs to catch up.

511
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: Bib, I'm with you.

512
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: There's nothing but young stars all over the game. I mean,

513
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: it's incredible when you look at these teams and these guys.

514
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: But I do want to ask you about two players

515
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: Bi Roberts, former Major League infielder and outfielder All Star

516
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety two.

517
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about.

518
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge and Sho Hail Tani, And it's hard to

519
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 4: not look at those two guys and think they have

520
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: really the odds on favorite of winning the MVP every year.

521
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Judge beat out a guy whohit sixty home

522
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 4: runs last year? You know how hard day he's one

523
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: an MVP?

524
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 2: Am I right? Bit when somebody sixty home.

525
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 12: Runs a catcher too? Right? They had a switch in

526
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 12: and catcher tell.

527
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Me, am, I right? I'm right?

528
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 7: At batting title, he won a batting title batting exactly.

529
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 12: I mean, wow, man, I mean you have to be

530
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 12: a special talent to beat out a guy who has

531
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 12: put up those type of numbers and all record numbers

532
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 12: for a catcher, you see. And so what Aaron Judge

533
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 12: is doing is so special because you expect it and

534
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 12: then he delivers it. I don't know if people expected

535
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 12: that from Cal last year, but he's got that, you

536
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 12: see what I'm saying. So it's always difficult when you're

537
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 12: a hunting. When you're hunting, it's different, But when you're

538
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 12: the hunted like Aaron Judge has been these last few years,

539
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 12: it's really difficult to do what he's doing. You could

540
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 12: pitch around him. He could have a bad season where

541
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 12: it's not an Aaron Judge season and not win the MVP.

542
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 12: But each year he's putting up these numbers that you

543
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 12: just can't argue with. I mean, this is something that

544
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 12: we're seeing right now that we want to see at Fance.

545
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 12: Guy him for average guy, him for power, A guy

546
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 12: that plays every day, a guy that understands baseball and

547
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 12: is a great leader, a mentor to those young kids.

548
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 12: I mean, he's really stepped up as the captain of

549
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 12: the New York Yankees, and you have to be special

550
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 12: to wear that sea.

551
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: On that jersey, no doubt, and oh show, hey, we

552
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: know that a unicorn pitchers hits and every year, unless

553
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 4: he has an awful year in something, I don't know

554
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 4: how people are gonna look at him and not think

555
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 4: he's the MVP of the National Theague every year.

556
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 12: Man. I have been arguing with my uncles because they're

557
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 12: old school, They're like in their late seventies and eighties,

558
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 12: and they just didn't believe how good he really is.

559
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 12: And I had to argue with him and say, name

560
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 12: one player that can get on the mound for one

561
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 12: hundred and one and then turn around and hit the

562
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 12: ball four hundred and fifty five seats right consistently and

563
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 12: still bases and each and every day find a way

564
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 12: in the leadoff spot. And he's wait a minute in

565
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 12: the leadoff spot to steal bags that hit home runs

566
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 12: and just haven't high average last year average wasn't as

567
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 12: high as it could have been. But I just had

568
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 12: to continue to argue with them that he's legit. He's

569
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 12: the best player in baseball. No one else can do

570
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 12: what he does. He's a unicorn, and I would see

571
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 12: many we keep people keep saying we're going to see.

572
00:27:59,320 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 11: More of that.

573
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 12: Well, I haven't seen more of that. I see one

574
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 12: guy when it comes to hitting and pitching. And as

575
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 12: I watched another day on the Mount at spring training

576
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 12: before the season started, I mean, he seemed like he

577
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 12: struck out every guy and he was PenPoint accurate. I

578
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 12: have never seen him this pen point acturate going into

579
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 12: a season. So Rob, I'm with you, it's going to

580
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 12: be very difficult to knock him off the mouth.

581
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 7: You use the great phrase for Otani. He's a unicorn.

582
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 7: He also has a unicorn contract. Right, I call the

583
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 7: Dodgers the Los Angeles deferrals. How do you feel about

584
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 7: the loophole that they have all these deferred contracts.

585
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: They got billions of dollars, all that money that they

586
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: don't have to pay up. But it is a loop.

587
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 7: It is a loophole right now because they can stack

588
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 7: the deck. How do you feel about them going for

589
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 7: a three p It will be historic if they could

590
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 7: do so. Do you feel like that's okay or do

591
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 7: you feel like like they got to be stopped?

592
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 12: Well, well, I think it's okay or not. I think

593
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 12: when the season is over, a lot of people are

594
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 12: going to say it's not okay, and that may be

595
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 12: the beginning of the workshoppage. That's a part of it

596
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 12: that could happen with salary caps. But I just think

597
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 12: that when you have smart people in the front office,

598
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 12: they always find their way. They find a way to win.

599
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 12: The Dodgers are just one of those organizations that's two

600
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 12: steps ahead of everybody else. Yeah, they have the money,

601
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 12: but they also have the intelligence at the top to

602
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 12: understand what type of players they're looking for and how

603
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 12: they fit in. And if they don't fit in, they

604
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 12: don't go after them. You don't see them looking forever

605
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 12: to bring everybody to the Dodgers. It's just a select you,

606
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 12: and they have to pay that selects you what the

607
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 12: market commands, they pay them. And so they figured out

608
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 12: a way. So, as you said, they figured out their loophole,

609
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 12: and everything that you're involved in, there's always a loophole

610
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 12: to get around certain I would say things that other

611
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 12: people can't get around. You know, in football, they found

612
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 12: this way of giving people bonuses and saying, hey, that's

613
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 12: a part of the salary cap. We're giving them, but

614
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 12: it's given effect the overall numbers. And then basketball it's

615
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 12: the same way. So the Dodgers have figured it out,

616
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 12: but one step ahead of everybody else. They're finding the

617
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 12: right players to actually exercise that loophole through.

618
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: All right, a bit man appreciated, thanks for your insight,

619
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: and bit Roberts of course former Major League infield or

620
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,800

Speaker 2: Here we go tonight.

688
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: A couple of NBA games we've already started. Sacramento. I

689
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 4: have plus eighteen and a half in Orlando taking on

690
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 4: the Magic. I got the Knicks plus two and a half.

691
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 4: They're in Carolina taking on I mean and Charlotte taking

692
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 4: on the Hornets. And I got the Pelicans plus four

694
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,640

696
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling

697
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 4: you who I bet on, all right, the NCAA Tournament

698
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen.

699
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 2: What you got on that? I mean, the teams you

700
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 2: want to see?

701
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, at this point, it's the teams that

702
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 7: pay for their players. It's the teams that you recognize,

703
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 7: the teams that you expect to be there, some of

704
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 7: the head coaching names that you expect to be there.

705
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: Player before, that's Arizona.

706
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 4: That's why I did, And I felt I never felt

707
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 4: good about picking the obvious, you know what I mean,

708
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 4: I really don't because you know, like, yeah, they were good,

709
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 4: they were really good.

710
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 2: This year from the start.

711
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, But for years it was always like you got

712
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 7: to pick a couple upsets. And then last year was

713
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 7: the year where nil killed the Cinderella. But then we

714
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 7: saw a couple upsets in the first round, like high

715
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 7: point you know this year even like VCU. I guess

716
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 7: Texas wasn an upset. But we're watching Texas per doing

717
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,479
Speaker 7: here right now. Sean Miller, that's one of those names

718
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 7: as a head coach that's made it to the Round

719
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 7: of sixteen. What I'm expecting is just good basketball at

720
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 7: this point because these players are making money, these programs

721
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 7: are spending money. These are the teams that you expect

722
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 7: to see get there. I don't expect there to be blowouts.

723
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 7: I expect there to.

724
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: Be close games.

725
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 7: And some of this stuff will be historic too, because

726
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 7: there's teams that you haven't seen there, you know, year

727
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 7: after year, like Nebraska, to me, I think is the

728
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 7: best story. Nebraska finally has put together a basketball team.

729
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 7: They're up twenty five seventeen right now.

730
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: I like Indiana as they did in football, and to feel.

731
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 7: That guys like you know what I mean, they actually

732
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 7: do go and win this whole thing. You could compare

733
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 7: them to Indiana because they never had.

734
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: A basketball program, right right, They've.

735
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 7: Never I think they won their first March Madness Tournament

736
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 7: game this year in the in the first round.

737
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 2: So they're a good story.

738
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 7: But it just shows you if you got the boosters,

739
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 7: you got the nil program, you can go and uh

740
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 7: you know, get you some players.

741
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, doesn't bother you that a Cinderella team is

742
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: not in the mix, like like one. I don't I

743
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: don't want three Cinderella teams. I've said this on the

744
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 4: year before. But one in there, one that maybe could somehow,

745
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,959
Speaker 4: little engine that could.

746
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 7: No, that doesn't interest you at all, nah, because they

747
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 7: I mean they all get chopped at some point. I

748
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 7: was at the George Mason game when they were a

749
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 7: number eleven and they beat Yukon years ago. I used

750
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 7: to live right next to Jersey in Jersey City, Saint

751
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 7: Peter's College, and they had a good run.

752
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen it.

753
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 7: I just think those days are over now because obviously

754
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 7: these these players are getting some change.

755
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 12: So I'm cool with it.

756
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it.

757
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 7: I don't need Cinderella.

758
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: No, give me the blue bloods.

759
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 12: Give me the big guys.

760
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 2: You one, give me the big money guys real quick. Purdue,

761
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: Michigan State. Where are they?

762
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 7: What do you?

763
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: Where do you see them? Are they? Like they always?

764
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 2: People put them in the blue blood like thinking about it.

765
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: Yeah they're up there because it is. Oh, but they

766
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: haven't won in twenty six years.

767
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 7: I think Michigan has got a better shot than them.

768
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 7: That's going to be a game too, Alabama, Michigan, but

769
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 7: Michigan State is just one of you in your bracket.

770
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 7: You you you write Michigan State because you've seen them

771
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 7: year after year get it done.

772
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: That's what they do. March is their time.

773
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're always losing them. All right, We got that,

774
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 4: all right, Our number two of the odd couples coming up.

775
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: So you know what you need to do, stick and

776
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 4: stay
