Speaker 1: the Mets. Two home runs tonight. He passes Daryl Strawberry

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: and all I could think of when he hit that

26
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: home run was we better win this bleeping game. That's

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: all I thought. No time for reflection or boy, it's great.

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: I've seen more Pee Alonzo home runs is a met

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: than Darryl Strawberry, and I think about my life and

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: my youth. No, it was we better win this bleeping game, like.

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Five one after the Marie and then all of a

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: sudden top before uh oh, I'm in the moment. In

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: the moment top before you were cursing. Did not go well?

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Feel it in the larger universe that we have here

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: in our sports connectivity that suddenly things went awry. But

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: then you roll up a big thirteen thirteen run pool.

37
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: Someone cashed. Yeah, yeah, the Mets today. My dad always

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: did fifteen run pools. That was always the one I

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: grew up on. Thirteen.

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen, that's bad luck, man, that's like, well what

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: I do.

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, But because it's bad luck, Yeah, but you're winning.

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: But I feel like you got a positivity at thirteen.

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: Go back and look here. You go back.

45
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I want you to go back and look at this.

46
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Go back and look at everybody you know that won

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: a thirteen run pool. What happened?

48
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: Is that a final destination? You know, in the immediate

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: aftermath of them winning the off their ass because they

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: suddenly had a pile of cash.

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Oh you did hear what happened? They fell all the

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: way down a roll of steps. It was terrible and

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: lost the money. But most of those guys, it did

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: not end well for them. I mean, they all live

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: short lives. And you know, sorosis of the liver. Okay,

56
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: it was a common element. It seemed okay.

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know I got dark, but wow, you

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: got really darkness. Wow. I'm like, if you want to go,

59
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: I'll play along. Sir Helper, he won the thirteen.

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Run pool and your sorosis diagnosis is coming in any day.

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: The diagnosis. That's a good name for a band.

62
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeahs or no, you know, sorosis diagnosis sounds like not

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: a bit. It sounds like the last cut on a

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: heavy metal album that's like nine minutes long, and sosis diagnosis.

65
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, it's so good. It's funny you say that

66
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: on the day we commemorate the album where one of

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: the great bands of all time went from seven minute

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: opuses to clean four and a half minute radio Yeah.

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Metallica wanted to make money and uh,

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, sell some tickets and uh hey okay the

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: Black album and they gave us a Wolf and Man off. Yeah, yeah,

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: well thirty four years ago today, right, thirty four the.

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Way back in nineteen ninety one Magical's time where it

74
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: seemed like we had record release parties every week.

75
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Going back to the last great Metallica album, all it

76
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: was all hot take you.

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Leave, load and reload alone. Load Load wasn't bad.

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: Between Load and Reload and a couple of others, you

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: could you could cobble together one good album with lou

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Reed was your one one good It was something I'll

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: Walk on the metal side, right, That was the album.

82
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: What was the Witch it.

83
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do.

84
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: What on No Wildside, No wutside, Walk on the outside,

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: Walk on the outside, Walk on the waldside? Okay? Was

86
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: the one with Marianne faith On Load or Reload? That

87
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: was reload?

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I think there was reload like the Taylor Swift

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 1: thing pre pre order now.

90
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: Like I did get my ordering done. Oh the way,

91
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: that first Pete Alonzo home run might have been the

92
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: cheapest home run ever. That was not aesthetically pleasing now.

93
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: And you couldn't get a great call on it because

94
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: it was a line drive over the LAO with a.

95
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: Drive to right. It's deep that gone. Oh it's gone,

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: it's gone. No, it's deep. Pete has done it. It's

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: some record it. It's like it's gone, it's out of here. Okay,

98
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: home run, there goes? How about that? It's Homer?

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: But what we are waiting for obviously look the biggest

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: or there's so many questions. I got a hot take

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: for you coming up on this. We are I don't

102
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: know how many hours we are away from the Taylor

103
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Swift New Heights podcast dropping with Jason and Travis Kelcey.

104
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: But it drops tomorrow. I don't know if it's a

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: midnight drop. I don't know if it's a during the

106
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: day drop. Does it drop at six, does it drop

107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: at nine? Does it drop it now? I don't know when.

108
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: But we are hours away from the most anticipated p

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: I would say probably the most anticipated podcast.

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Seven o'clock time tomorrow night. So it drops tomorrow night,

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: so four hours away Pacific, so we'll have ample time

112
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: to digest it before coming out here. How long is

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: it gonna be?

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: Like?

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Is this even one of those extra long podcasts where

116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: it's it's an hour and twenty four minutes. I can't,

117
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: I can't I have time for that. Come on, man,

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: I don'kay. It's an hour and twenty four minute.

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: Po Okay, so you wait for it to be chopped

120
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: up in the nice bite size morses.

121
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh, hopefully by seven o'clock we get But here's the thing,

122
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: all right, right now, I'll tell you exactly what we

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: will and won't get tomorrow from this podcast. Okay, Oh,

124
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: now we know what's happening. We know Taylor Swift's on there.

125
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey has already dropped some morsels. Hey, their relationship

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: a little bit, and here she is on the podcast.

127
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna talk about a lot of things. Number One,

128
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: I will say this, there will be nothing on that

129
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: podcast that is not Taylor centric. Like there's not gonna

130
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: be a lot on the Chiefs, there's not gonna be

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff going on in football. That

132
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: could be a lot of Week one preseason, and it's

133
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna be all Taylor centric. Because if Taylor Swift is

134
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: coming on this podcast, it's gonna be all Taylor Swift centric.

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: Well, talking about how she loves football, and how there

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: she's learning football and football related concepts that that he's

137
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: taught her, or that she's picked up from being in

138
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: the crowd some of those experiences, I'm sure. But yeah,

139
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: you play to your guest, all right, let him tell stories. Yeah,

140
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: that's why it works. You know, Jay Glazer comes out

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: with us, he starts telling stories. He forgets himself sometimes,

142
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: which when we get the really good stuff. So that's

143
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 2: what you need to do. Get her talking about tour

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: and being off the tour and whatever else you can

145
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: glean from that. I mean, he did plenty of their

146
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: photo shoots. He had there's something what was it Men's

147
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: Health or GQ or whatever the hell that was. Yeah,

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: were you dressed like he was the Highlander or Proto

149
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: or yeah?

150
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think with a mix, like if the

151
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: Proto got married and had a kid.

152
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: Kind of looked like you could have been from Lord

153
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: of the Rings in one photo and the next it

154
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: looks like he's, you know, looking for the quickening.

155
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: You have to keep the ring, and you only keep

156
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: the ring by chopping the heads off of somebody else. Yeah,

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: there you go. See that's an entirely different loser.

158

Speaker 2: Leads town match absolutely does lose his sound last man standing.

159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,560

169
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: this on the podcast? Like like my my wife's thinking

170
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: that maybe the numbers aren't what you think there.

171
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, interesting, I didn't think about it. I mean,

172
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: you can claim that for a lot of when it

173
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: comes to you.

174
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, here's a new album and here

175
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: she's on the podcast. Finally it's a recording artist podcast whatever.

176
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: But I mean it's a season premiere, right, so season premiere,

177
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: you know you you go for the gusto we are

178
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: we are dialing it up.

179
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

180
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: Second thing, I will say, yeah, there will be a song.

181
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: I think we'll get a song, but we'll get part

182
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,760

00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: here's a song. They'll play it and then after, you know,

187
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: so people can't just realize have it. They will rip

188
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: it and keep it with not paying any money for it.

00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,040

00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, they might give you the full song and

192
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: then put it up and then put it up on

193
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: the different because now you can get all the downloads

195
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: downloaded and viewed and listen to this podcast. Okay, So

196
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: she could do the same thing with the first single

197
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: off the new new album. All right, we're gonna give

00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: the big thing. And then you'll wait until October when

200
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: for the rest of the right right ships that's yeah,

201
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: it's a waste to go man to have this, and

202
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna have an album and talk about it. When's

203
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: it come out? You know, a couple of months? Really,

204
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: two more months? Brilliant it's about dating a loser. We

205
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: went through this last night.

206
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: I remake Loser by Beck and that's the first song

207
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 1: off the album Kansas City.

208
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: I did like the mashup of taking a couple of

209
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift songs, uh, interspersed with footage from last night

210
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: and soho the horror movie that starred Anya Taylor Joy

211
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: or she's in one scene dancing around. So then you

212
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 2: had Taylor Swift mashed up with that. It was pretty good.

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: We lost a super Bowl because we couldn't beat Okay,

214
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: so here's the other thing right now, think about it. Okay,

215
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: the last great podcast that we've spent time I'm talking

216
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: about that said all kinds of number marks we can't pla.

217
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp became a multi zillionaire over his Club Shashay

218
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: podcast with Kat Williams, right, all the big stuff about

219
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago. Right, that podcast was

220
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: with Cat Williams and he was broken.

221
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: He was trying to shake down Chad Johnson. Six grand.

222
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety million downloads for that podcast, ninety million for

223
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Cat Williams. Man, I mean, come on, I know we

224
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: had stuff to say that was like whoa, but Cat

225
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: said Williams stuff Man HADDJ, The Cat Was in the

226
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: Cradle and the Silver Spoon, the Little Boy Blue downloaded

227
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: the podcast to listen to it wherever you get your

228
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: podcasts from.

229
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: But like that is a great example. When you say

230
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: ninety million downloads, that sounds like a fugazy number to

231
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: me's I mean, well, one in four Americans down all downloaded, guys, right,

232
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: all all that?

233
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: Well, no people download it more than once to listen

234
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: to it again in a second and third time. So

235
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: I think all down. I think all podcast numbers are insane.

236
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: They are all juiced up somehow. There's it's it's not

237
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: an equal playing field, like if you want to spend

238
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: the money to juice up podcast numbers and everything else. Okay,

239
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: you know there's there's there's ways to do that.

240
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: Right or you can just download ours right now, Yeah

Speaker 1: ninety million, ninety million downloads of the Cat Williams Shannon

244
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,120

Speaker 1: have more downloads than that. Oh yeah, no, this will

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: be blown This will blow past the ninety million download mark.

247
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Of Cat Williams, because number one, it's so anticipated where

248
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: the Cat Williams thing was one of those all of

249
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, Hey, look what's going on. This is crazy,

250

Speaker 2: Begain.

253
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: But this is such anticipation for unless something happens and

254
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: oh hey the internet has broke because you know, so

255

00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: throwing hand. There is some thought that maybe Love could

468
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: return to practice sometime as early as next week, but

469
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: they felt, Listen, this was the best thing to get

470
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: him back and healthy. So it's not an injury injury

471
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: that lingers and we're feeling good about him for the season.

472
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: So it looks like in theory, the Packers dodged a

473
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: bullet here and how they can go back to worry

474
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: about how they got pasted by the Jets on Saturday,

475
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: just pillar to post pasted by the Jets. But it

476
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: looks like they've averted disaster here, especially with Hey maybe

477
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: comes back at practice. It's his non throwing hand. They'll

478
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: find a way to make it work for the beginning

479
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't, I don't, I don't.

480
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: I'm not that worried if I'm the Packers, yeh, I

481
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: don't know how much you would have seen him going

482
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: forward anyway, Like, even if it was one hundred percent healthy,

483
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: what's he gonna play another series or two? It's all

484
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: about getting your your reps, with your backups and everybody

485
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 2: up and going with the ninety seven receivers that you've

486
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: brought into camp. Still trying to figure out who the

487
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: leads are in the clubhouse. It doesn't seem like, you know,

488
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: we joked about the the Browns in there. Let's just

489
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: keep signing QB kind of thing. That's what the Packers

490
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: have done every other day. It's like, hey, that guy

491
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: played like, Hey, there's Will Shephard. Hey he played for Colorado. Yeah,

492
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: had him. He's like number seven on the depth chart. Now,

493
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 2: so let's go.

494
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: Now, here's the here's the thing about Jordan, right, because

495
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: I can give you something different about Jordan Love's gonna

496
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: make you say, okay, now I understand something about Dak Prescott. Right,

497
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 1: So here's Jordan Love. And when this story broke and

498
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: we didn't really know the d it was, Hey, Jordan

499
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: Love is out going to miss the rest of the

500
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: preseason procedure on his on his on his finger, that

501
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: he got hurt on the last snap that he took

502
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: on Saturday against the Jets because he got sacked on

503
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: the play.

504
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, that last nap, but that happens a lot. When

505
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: when did you get hurt?

506
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Actually, my last one, my last run, Yeah, my last play,

507
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: my last rue, the last thing I did when happened.

508
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: So he gets hurt. Okay, that's great. Uh, you know

509
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: we the last play, but you know, like I said,

510
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: it happens. So there was a lot of all big

511
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: year for Jordan Love. Jordan Love's got to come through.

512
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: Not his great a year last year for Love, and

513
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: this is a big year, pressure year for him. And

514
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: when I started reading that, I said, you know what,

515
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't think general NFL fans just understand who Jordan

516
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Love is. Okay, Because first of all, his season last

517
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: year very similar to his breakthrough season in twenty twenty three. Right,

518
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: he missed a couple of games, but it wasn't as

519
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: great a year for the Packers. It didn't come out

520
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere. There was expectations for Jordan Love last year,

521
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: which he kind of had the same year. Right, He's

522
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: a he's a thirty touchdown ten interception kind of guy. Right,

523
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: That's what he is throwing for thirty seven four thousand yards.

524
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: That's what he did his first year. If he played

525
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: in every game last year, it's what he would have

526
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: done last year. Right, if you just extrapolate the numbers

527
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: and go, okay, plays two more games the number of

528
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns number what he throws per game. But the first year,

529
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: it was unexpected that, hey, is Jordan Love going to

530
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: be any good boy? They're really rolling the dice, getting

531
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: rid of Aaron Rodgers. What are they doing?

532
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, he's really good.

533
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: And boy that playoff game against the Cowboys, perfect quarterback rating.

534
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna be awesome. Jordan Love is great. He gets

535
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the big contract extension a year ago. All right, great,

536
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: we're good with Jordan Love.

537
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 5: Man.

538
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: Let's go.

539
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: Last year not as great for Green Bay, But the

540
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: season for Jordan Love was really very similar to what

541
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: he had his rookie year. It just because there was expectation,

542
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: it didn't look like it was the same kind of year,

543
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: But in reality, this is who he was.

544
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: Right he didn't.

545
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: He had a horrible postseason game last year against the Eagles,

546
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: right when they got killed. He through three picks and

547
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: it's abstoutly crushed them. So understand that Jordan Love is

548
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: still a really good quarterback, right, like really good? Is

549
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: he an elite level quarterback? Is he something that's gonna

550
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: make everybody around him better?

551
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 4: No?

552
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: Could the Packers make things easier by not just saying

553
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: here's seventeen wide receivers, get chemistry with a few of them. Nah,

554
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: I could to be doing a little bit better for now.

555
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: They keep getting in weapons, which is great, But I

556
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: talk about Jordan Love's career what I've just said about

557
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 1: it the first couple of years, and everybody who has

558
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: an opinion about Dak Prescott says the same thing. If

559
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was playing outside of Dallas, it wouldn't be this,

560
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: It would be X, Y and Z. We wouldn't be

561
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: talking about Dak Prescott as much. Wouldn't be if Dak

562
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: Prescott played outside of Dallas. I'll tell you right now,

563
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: he's Jordan Love in Green Bay. They're the same kind

564
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: of quarterback. They give you the same kind of numbers,

565
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: same kind of skill set, same early part of their career.

566
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: That would be how we talked about Dak Prescott. That

567
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: would be his impact on the NFL. If Dak wasn't

568
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys quarterback, he would be Jordan Love, a guy

569
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: that got attention because he was really good. We talk

570
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: about him, but doesn't play for the Cowboys. So really,

571
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: all right, your team has to be really good to

572
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: be a top front, top shelf conversation in the NFL,

573
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: because that's kind of how it goes. The heritage teams

574
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: always get talked about good, better and different, the Cowboys,

575
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers, right, it always happens but if you're really good,

576
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: all right, that's what brings you to the top. If

577
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: there's a year the Ravens aren't any good, we don't

578
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: talk about the Ravens. Ravens win the AFC North A.

579
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: We talk about the Ravens a lot, right, That's kind

580
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: of how it goes. But that's kind of with that's

581
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: the same talent level, that's the same production, that's the

582
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: same everything. Jordan Love and Green Bay. This is who

583
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott would be if he played on a different

584
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: team and wasn't on Dallas. That would be his value,

585
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: meaning he would still get this kind of contract. He

586
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: would still get this People say, A, he's kind of

587
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: Overbaid's still get a two hundred and fifty million dollar contract.

588
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: It would still be that. Because Dak Prescott is a

589
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: good quarterback. Does his value get inflated to people in

590
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: flate and put more expectation because he plays in Dallas,

591
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: of course, But the bottom line is outside of Dallas,

592
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: this is who he'd be, which is still a really

593
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: good quarterback. He just gets more attention, more relevance, more

594
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: everything because he plays with the Cowboys. But you want

595
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: to know who he'd be, Oh, he'd just be a guy.

596
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: If he played somewhere else, this is who he'd be. Yeah,

597
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: he looked at Jordan Love last year. I mean his

598
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: numbers again, extrapolate them out. If he's all fully held

599
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: the plays all seventeen and even that you put an

600
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: astisk on because if you're really good, you get to

601
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: do a Queen's wave and sit down, as we saw

602
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: some guys get to do last year. But the other

603
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: thing they had that they didn't have in twenty twenty

604
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: three was a run game.

605
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 4: Right.

606
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs was fantastic. Yeah, the run game worked, and

607
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: the stats bear it out to where you didn't have

608
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: that reliance in twenty twenty three. That was a non factor.

609
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Love was one of your leading touchdown scores as

610
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: a runner. They were so banged up at the position.

611
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: So when you look at what aj Dillon was and

612
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: go back to what you had with Aaron Jones before

613
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: he departed, Yeah, they weren't finding the end zones. So yeah,

614
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: it's all inflated by where you play and the expectations

615
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: commensurate with it. You know, you also had the surprise

616
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 2: of what Minnesota ended up being, which took some of

617
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: that away from from Green Bay and looking around going, well,

618
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: weren't we supposed to be the front runner in division,

619
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: you know, next to Detroit. No, that didn't end up happening.

620
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold has this fantastic season and everything flows right

621
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: with the aforementioned Aaron Jones in there, who was one

622
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: of the great impact players right where we saw the

623
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: veterans show out. So yeah, you're looking at the Hallmark franchises.

624
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: Plus just the expectation is, all right, you've now set

625
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: your benchmark and you have to achieve to that. Wins,

626
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: wins and losses. I mean there's always that argument, are

627
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: they a quarterback stat or are they not? Right? Yeah,

628
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: and for dak.

629
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Well, in certain cities it is. In Dallas, wins are

630
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback stat. In New York, wins are in a

631
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: quarterback just quarterback stats a quarter We're starting for everything, right,

632
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: certain cities, Yes, wins are a quarterback stat.

633
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: And the expectation in Dallas is that you were leading

634
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: them to the promised line. We're talking about the Jerry

635
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: Jones documentary, you know, owing to the greatness of thirty

636
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: years ago and some of the great quotes coming out

637
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: from EMMITTT. Smith you know, kind of looking side at

638
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: the reporters as they're asking in terms of, you know,

639
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: Jerry's impact and everything else, of trying to trying to

640
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: be nice about it but being realistic. And that's how

641
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: long we've been going back as America's team, even pre

642
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: dating Jerry Jones' arrival. So yeah, it's it's gonna be

643
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: in under a different microscope, no question about it. Yeah.

644
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, now when you see everything everything fits together,

645
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: similar start to their careers, similar expectations, but outside of

646
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: Dallas that now you can put a face to it. Oh,

647
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: he's Jordan Love and green Bank.

648
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: Jordan Love gets no favors because he's the next and

649
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: what we're two long, long tenured quarterbacks. Like, all right,

650
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: there's your expectation. Here's a couple of Hall of famers.

651
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: Now go do that exit out about a Fresco exit.

652
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Swallen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend

653
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: Mike Carmon time not to find out what's trending in

654
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: the wide world of sports. Would a guy who's been

655
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: called the Dak Prescott of Fox Sports Radio interesting He

656
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: once shook hands with Stan Cronkey at midfield as well.

657
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: It's Steve the same. H Is that true? No?

658
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 6: No, I rarely seen Stan Kronkey. You just for the record, we.

659
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 5: Have Milwaukee winning an eleventh straight ball game tonight and

660
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 5: Paul Skens was starting for Pittsburgh fourteen nothing Brewers.

661
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 6: Was the fire. Should we just head to the playoffs?

662
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: Now?

663
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 6: This is ridiculous? How good Milwaukee is the last couple

664
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 6: of months.

665
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad we had to run into Milwaukee. You

666
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: know this past week when no lead was safe. Well,

667
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: Skis finally gave up a run in the first inning.

668
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 6: That's a first this year, right, And.

669
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: He's terrible against the Brewers, but nails against everybody.

670
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, against everybody else.

671
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 5: It's in the ra one point seventy five, okay, four innings,

672
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: four runs allowed tonight, fourteen nothing Milwaukee the final and

673
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: the winning Brewers pitcher, Freddie Peralta, is fourteen and five.

674
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 5: He went six innings tonight, So the first place Brewers

675
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 5: record of seventy five and forty four this year now

676
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: seven and a half games up on the Cubs, who

677
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 5: were beaten five to one at Toronto. The Cub's offense

678
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 5: went four for thirty one with ten men left on

679
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 5: base in the Al East Toronto the first place team.

680
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 5: They're gonna still be four and a half up on Boston.

681
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: The Red Sox lead twelve nothing at Houston in the

682
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 5: top of the eighth, so it's looking like Houston will

683
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 5: be tied for first with the Mariners in the Al West.

684
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: Because Seattle has won its eighth straight game, one nothing

685
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 5: at Baltimore with a run in the first.

686
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: I'd say the trade deadline worked out well for the Mariners.

687
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: The trade deadline, I think it worked out pretty well well.

688
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 5: They did a choir by the way, you know, it

689
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 5: was one of those acquisitions that you're referring to. At

690
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: third base during the ninth, when the closer was on

691
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: the mound and the heat at Baltimore and I don't

692
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 5: know if he was too busy or ready to pass out,

693
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,479
Speaker 5: he asked for the trainer to come on and they

694
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 5: had a three minute delay just so the guy could

695
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 5: get a towel and a drink of water. Does this

696
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 5: happen at any other position in the world of baseball?

697
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 5: This was an odd stoppage, yeah, because you know, being

698
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 5: an athlete, if you can't continue the bat, you just

699
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 5: contind you can't continue it right.

700
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: Now, let's get let let's say this is not little

701
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: league softball. It's okay. Let's let's let them get a

702
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. Throw usus you're in.

703
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 6: A major league game. They just stopped the game so

704
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 6: we could.

705
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: Tale off and feel a little better. No, I mean,

706
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 5: no offense. We've all felt that.

707
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: But you know, well, don't you know, Rob Manford put

708
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: the toweling off break in the rules this year, teams

709
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: haven't taken advantage of it.

710
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, not going to see it in the Little League

711
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 5: World Series, but sure major League, Yeah, why not. The

712
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 5: Rockies have lost eight in a row. They're winning three

713
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 5: to nothing at Saint Louis, going to the bottom of

714
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 5: the ninth. White Socks had a rain delay early, so

715
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 5: they're only bottom of the sixth. But the White Sox

716
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 5: are leading Detroit five to one. Angels ahead of the

717
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 5: Dodgers four to three in the fourth. The Padres are

718
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 5: winning three to one at San Francisco, bottom of the third.

719
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 5: It's possible the Padres tie the Dodgers for first in

720
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: the NL West tonight, no chance. The Yankees beat Minnesota

721
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 5: nine to one. Aaron Judge is thirty eighth homer Kansas

722
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 5: City and Cleveland with wins. Cincinnati beat Philadelphia six to one,

723
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 5: the Phils first in the NL East five games over

724
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 5: the Mets, who did win thirteen to five over Atlanta.

725
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: That ends a seven game losing streak. Pete Alonzo with

726
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 5: a couple of long bawls career home runs two hundred

727
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 5: and fifty four that is the most in Mets history.

728
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: He passes Darryl Strawberry, by the way. In that Yankees

729
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 5: winch and Carlos Stanton four hits, including a homer.

730
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 6: The Angels lead.

731
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 5: Over the Dodgers four to three going to the bottom

732
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 5: of the fourth inning. Now and yes, Packers quarterback Jordan

733
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 5: Love had surgery on his left thumb. Green Bay wide

734
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 5: receiver Christian Watson with a bad knee, likely to start

735
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 5: the season on the pup lists.

Speaker 1: ago a story about an NFL star who's retired.

758
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: Then it turned out it was a fake story.

759
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 1: He didn't retire, Okay, but he's pretty much retired anyway.

760
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: This is a day that was for Odell Beckham Junior.

761
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh h a A and it really got a lot

762
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: of people. A fake Adam Schefter account, not even a

763
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: darn Schefter. This is Adam Schefter with the one in

764
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,319

768
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: of his career, has decided to retire. All this it's

769
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: like whoa. And again the internet is undefeated. All you

00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: have to do is look and say why did this happen?

771

772
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: thousand followers on Twitter. Huh, Okay, maybe it's not him.

774
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: F for a tee. Okay, that doesn't seem right either,

775
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: But still it got out, got a lot of people, right,

776
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: and so Yahoo and they had to delete it really fast.

777
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 2: And again they haven't.

778
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: I think Yahoo even had a story up going, hey,

779
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: what is Odell's career? How is it underachieving? Is it

780
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: then to just get rid of it? Because oh no, no,

781
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. So Odell got upset and he puts

782
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: a message out on social media saying, I am not retired.

783
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: If I am retired, you'll be the first to know.

784
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: If any buddy wishes me happy retirement, I'm gonna have

785
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: to unfollow you. And this is why happy retirement was

786
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: trending on Twitter because people kept saying happy retirement Odell

787
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: and getting blocked after it was over. So here's Odell

788
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: who saying, no, I'm not retired, but pretty much Odell

789
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: Beckham's retired, right did.

790
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: You send it just? Did you send it to him

791
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 2: just so you could get No?

792
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no no no no, I don't

793
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: need that. I mean, but pretty much Odell's retired, right,

794
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Like you look at where he's at. He's never been

795
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: able to overcome the injuries and you know, the lack

796
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: of production after his third year in the NFL. Last

797
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: year was his lowest year in the NFL for games,

798
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: for output, for everything. He's at the end, right, injuries

799
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: have robbed him. And look and and anytime you say

800
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: injuries plus being a headache, which Odell has been in

801
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: his different spots, that's not going to add up to

802
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: a long NFL career. Right after his third year in

803
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: the league, whatever it was for him, I'm believing in

804
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: myself too much of a superstar. He was an issu

805
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: she with New York with all of his antics, and

806
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: then when he stopped being that guy, and he's stopped

807
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: being able to stay healthy. Guess what that's when that's

808
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: when the giant said, Okay, we've had enough, Cleveland tried

809
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: he add an okay year in Cleveland once that was,

810
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: and I'd just do an okay year like he had

811
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: a Terry McLaurin light year in Cleveland in twenty nineteen

812
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: and then not been able to stay healthy, really stay

813
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: in the lineup. And last year nine games played for Miami,

814
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: he caught nine passes for fifty five yards. Like it's

815
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: over for Odell Beckham, even if he's not saying it's

816
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of over for Odell.

817
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he hasn't been a factor really since

818
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, so I mean it's it's a lot of years.

819
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: So when I saw the shelfer or the chef.

820
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: Won Shelfler, Scheffler, Scottie Scheffler, Adam Shelfler, shelf shelf Life,

821
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: whatever the San Diegoans parody account was, I think it

822
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: was shellf. He even says it on there if you

823
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: click on it parody account, h Okay, nope, nope, gonna

824
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: see it.

825
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: Gotta get out whatever. It started getting retweeted by legit accounts,

826
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: as you said, and he responded as like, oh, I

827
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 2: thought he was already done, So, I mean, it's unfortunate

828
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 2: that he's one of those guys, but he had his moment.

829
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 2: It's been a minute, made another couple of tries, and

830
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: the fact that he keeps getting calls means teams are

831
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: still looking for someone some answer at wide receiver. But

832
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: that's long in the rearview mirrors.

833
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look that's it when you talk about him

834
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: and his health, health not health is not really the

835
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: number one thing in all of this because it's not

836
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: like he's been limited to a handful of games, right, Like, yeah,

837
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I got hurt in twenty seventeen with the Giants, right,

838
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: I only played four games. That was tough, But then

839
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: twelve games, sixteen games all right, seven and twenty twenty

840
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty twenty one, fourteen and twenty twenty three,

841
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: so he was playing.

842
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: The majority you've seen now. Was he as healthy?

843
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: No, did he miss some time out of the lineup,

844
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: But it's like after his third year, like that was it,

845
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: Like he could have been and should have been Jerry Rice,

846
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: Like he should have been that kind of receiver because

847
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: of what he was able to do physically and especially

848
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: on a Giants team where suddenly, whoa, He's unstoppable. Right,

849
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: It's not like the Giants had tons of great weapons

850
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham still being able to be guither was

851
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 1: somehow find his way wide up. When I think of Odell,

852
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: obviously you think of the catch. I think of Odell?

853
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: How many how many across the middle patterns he ran

854
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: deep down the field where he was not like ten

855
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: yards and find a spot this is twenty five yards

856
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: and he makes a cut on a dime and he's

857
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field and the defensive back

858
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: is eight yards away from him. So instead of a hey,

859
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: here he comes over the middle for ten yards in

860
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: a first down, it's twenty seven yards, like like, that's

861
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: what I see that? And he should have been that guy.

862
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: And you hear all the stories. Did he love football enough?

863
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Was he too much of a problem, too much of

864
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: a headache? Teams didn't buy into him? All of this,

865
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: But no matter how you want to slice it up,

866
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: his career should have been so much better than it was.

867
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: Five thousand yard seasons, including that final one with Cleveland

868
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. But yeah, it's a lot of hope,

869
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 2: a lot of expectation and certainly when you get on

870
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: the radar for a big play, that always stands out right.

871
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, go back to you know, some of the

872
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: guys that were defensive stalwarts, that had big moments in

873
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 2: the college, like, oh, that's gonna break them down. Yeah yeah, yeah,

874
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: and then it didn't. Yeah for him, it was a

875
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 2: nice short run. Yeah.

876
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: We three years of of fantastic play and then that

877
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: was it.

878
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 2: That was it. But that's it. I mean that that's

879
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: a career for most NFL guys.

880
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,000

900
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 4: York last night. I was actually at Yankee Stadium for

901
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: the Yankees and the Twins. I know that Pine Alonso

902
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 4: made some Mets history tonight for a team that, by

903
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: the way, I want to make sure I lead with

904
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 4: the positivity. Jason. Yes, New York Mets as of now

905
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 4: tonight now still still are in possession of a National

906
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 4: League wild card spot, albeit the third of three. But

907
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: they are in the dance for now, two games ahead

908
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 4: of the Cincinnati Retch.

909
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: Now you know, and you can tell me this. You

910
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: can tell Sternsy my reaction because when when he hit

911
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: that home run, right, you think I'm full of Hey, he.

912
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 2: Passed Daryl Strawberry. It's a big deal.

913
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: I think about my life and I'm a teenager when

914
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: Strawberry was so good. No, right away, I said now,

915
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: we got to win this game. Let's not blow this

916
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: bleep and league like, that's my reac Alonzo, it's the

917
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: home run I celebrated for about half a second ago.

918
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: We got to win this game, man, we can't. It's

919
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: five to one. We got to win this well, and.

920
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 4: Let's point out and I'm sure this has been covered

921
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: very adeptly on the Fox Sports Radio studio updates, but

922
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: the final core was thirteen to five in favor of

923
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 4: the Mets. They kept hitting throughout sixteen hits runs. I

924
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 4: do know that you have you have already made some

925
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 4: suggestions to me. We are frequently texting. You've got an

926
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 4: idea about you wanted to make sure that we saw

927
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 4: McLean and Sprote. Ideally, you wanted the three probable starters

928
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 4: for the series to be Sprote, McLean, and Jonah Tong

929
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 4: the prospects, so you wanted all three of them up.

930
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 4: It didn't quite happen that way, but the Mets nonetheless

931
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 4: a very important win. And I was able to speak

932
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 4: with Justin before the segment started working on the He

933
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 4: really thinks that Conford Oh should play more often. There's

934
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 4: a lot of there's a lot of conversation right now,

935
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 4: both of you guys just kind of bosted up your

936
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 4: confidence a little bit.

937
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, let now, now we gotta call it like it is.

938
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: When when I said to you that text, who I

939
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: really wanted this series was, I said, sever Kuzman Gooden,

940
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: that was the guys I wanted for this series, but

941
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: you know he can't get them out here.

942
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 4: And and John Matt Black, John who, by the way,

943
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 4: John Matt I always have great things to say about

944
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 4: John matt Lack. He was the Tigers minor league pitching

945
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 4: coordinator when I first started covering pro baseball more than

946
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 4: twenty years ago. And so John matt Lack, as you

947
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 4: know as many of our listeners, though, one of the

948
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 4: great New York Mets starting pitchers. Ever, he was always

949
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 4: so gracious and courteous in returning my calls when I

950
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 4: was just a twenty one year old who just had

951
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 4: all kinds of questions about everything in the world, and

952
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 4: he was very patient with me. And I will always

953
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 4: thank John matt Lack for that.

954
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 2: Oh that's so nice.

955
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 4: There you go.

956
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: So there you go. We got positivity of the Mets

957
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: with a win, and you're talking about the Michael Confordo

958
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: angle many angles here in Los Angeles to run with

959
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, that nine game lead evaporating as it has,

960
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: and just trying to find answers in some level of

961
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 2: consistency JP. What could Dave Roberts do to what can

962
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 2: he pull out of his hat?

963
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: Well, then the question I right down, Mike, is actually

964
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 4: the offense, and that, to me is the big issue.

965
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 4: The rotation is getting better. You think about now the

966
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: return of Snell Glass. Now they're expecting big things from

967
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 4: down the stretch. Youm Moto in many ways has been

968
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 4: their most consistent starter from the start of the season,

969
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: and now Kershaw's looked really good. But I think that

970
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 4: the big question now has to do with the lineup,

971
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: and I really think overall, I know we're talking about

972
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: what they could do to get more out of Confordo

973
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 4: in that lineup spot. They at least were able to

974
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: win a weekend series against the Blue Jays, who have

975
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 4: been one of the hottest teams in Major League Baseball. Yes,

976
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 4: I know they're tied right out tonight with the Angels,

977
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 4: and yes, I know it wasn't necessarily a great start

978
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 4: for Shian, But in general, I do think there is

979
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 4: still a lot to like about this lineup. Maybe the

980
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 4: one thing you would say, and again it's on display tonight,

981
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: just too at the menascoring position that they they are

982
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 4: maybe not cashing in at the same level of the

983
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: same rates of plating runs and they've got opportunities. I

984
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 4: still like the general structure of the of this lineup

985
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 4: with Otani at the top. Of course, Bets has started

986
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 4: to come alive a little bit. Obviously for the year,

987
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 4: his numbers won't look that's like, but he has been

988
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 4: better of late. Will Smith has put together I think,

989
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 4: a phenomenal year all the way around. But I do

990
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 4: agree with the critique that the bottom part of the lineup,

991
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 4: even with a couple of hits from Rushing today including

992
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: a homer, the bottom part of the lineup is not

993
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: quite as potent as it was at this time last year.

994
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 4: You just look at the bottom three right now, it's

995
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 4: confordo with batting one to eighty seven, freelim batting one

996
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 4: ninety four, and then Rushing batting two o two. It's

997
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 4: just it's not the same fearsome one through nine that

998
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 4: we saw one year ago. And for that matter, Nora

999
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 4: is the Yankees lineup at that same level. So I

1000
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 4: think you consider how just how much opportunity there is

1001
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 4: is we're talking right now as much about the Brewers,

1002
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 4: the Mariners, the Padres as we are about the Yankees

1003
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 4: and Dodgers, and I think on some level in the game,

1004
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: that's help me. It's certainly it's a it's a pretty

1005
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 4: powerful counter argument to those that thought, based on last

1006
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 4: year's World Series that a Dodgers the Yankees rematch was inevitable.

1007
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 4: Let's be clear about it, it is not.

1008
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 2: Now.

1009
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: I know you're getting set to broadcast from Williamsport, which

1010
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: is going to be so much fun for you. Are

1011
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: you more excited about Williamsport or Padres Dodgers series this weekend?

1012
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 4: Just between us, off the record, Padres Dodgers, but that's

1013
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 4: the series, and listen. As much as we would love

1014
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 4: to be able to reconfigure the schedule on the fly,

1015
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, Met's Mariners is a good matchup for

1016
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 4: this weekend, and I'm excited to see both teams. But

1017
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 4: I would kind of like to to see if we

1018
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 4: could fly in the Dodgers and and then put that

1019
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 4: really contentious match up in front of the kids and

1020
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 4: then and then say basically, okay, everybody, no fights tonight,

1021
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 4: no clearing the benches tonight in front of the kids.

1022
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 4: We can't do it. Uh, it'd be a good good

1023
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 4: reminder of that. But listen to Padres and the Mariners.

1024
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 4: They both played really well since the deadline. And I

1025
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 4: like that. I like that the teams that were aggressive

1026
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 4: had been rewarded for it, and it certainly puts together

1027
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 4: a pretty powerful argument to to GMS and the team

1028
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: president and the owners that that the players really do

1029
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 4: feed off of that energy. So, uh, good autumn for

1030
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 4: being aggressive, and and credit to those two teams in

1031
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 4: particular Seattle and San Diego for putting together some impressive

1032
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 4: runs here now in the month of August.

1033
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 2: So are we going to get our Aaron Boone outstring,

1034
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: because then they're wearing bags on their heads in the third.

1035
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 4: Level now, JP, I know, I was there last night,

1036
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 4: talked to Aaron. He didn't seem he didn't seem many

1037
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 4: more stressfully normally does. And I think that's really a

1038
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 4: good thing. That's that's the important thing for the Yankees.

1039
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 4: The reasons why they are not leading the division. Aaron

1040
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 4: Boone is not is not the one to blame it.

1041
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 4: In my opinion, there are a number of issues going

1042
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 4: on there. I do think that the return of Stanton

1043
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 4: and the home runs last night and tonight, it's just

1044
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 4: he's really important to them. But when Stanton is in

1045
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 4: the lineup, when he's homering, it's a different team. And

1046
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 4: Volpi got it, got it on the act tonight too.

1047
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 4: Warren Tish really well, lasted another good start tonight for Rodin.

1048
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 4: That's it. They just have to get deeper in games.

1049
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 4: And so if they keep playing the way they played

1050
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 4: the last couple of nights, and again it's against the

1051
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 4: Twins team that's sold off with the deadline, I get it.

1052
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: But to me, the important thing is consistency and stability

1053
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 4: in the rotation. And just talking to Aaron yesterday, it

1054
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: sounds like he believes they're a lot closer in that

1055
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 4: rook guard and they've been in a while, and so

1056
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 4: I'm willing to let this thing play out and listen,

1057
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 4: if they haven't made a change of manager yet, and

1058
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 4: certainly he's under contract well beyond the end of the season,

1059
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 4: If they haven't made a change yet, I would have

1060
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 4: a hard time thinking that they would do that in season.

1061
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: Maybe the chance would be there if they missed the

1062
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: playoffs entirely, but I think it internally, they still seem

1063
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 4: pretty pleased with the work that Boone is doing, despite

1064
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 4: the up and down result over the last month plus.

1065
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: See but here, here's the thing, John Paula is I

1066
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: look at it this way. If the Yankees don't make

1067
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, underachieve, they're going to fire him at the

1068
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: end of the season. Right, it's been eight years no championships,

1069
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: which you know they got rid of Joe Tory a

1070
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: lot faster and he won four. I maintain that if

1071
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: the Yankees get to a point where they fall two

1072
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: three games out of the wildcard, right, if they fall

1073
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: two three games out of the wildcard, that would happen,

1074
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: and they would replace Boone just as a final break

1075
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: glass in case emergency thing. This is the last thing

1076
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 1: we can do to try to keep this sea he's

1077
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: on track, because why wait till the end of the year.

1078
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: If we're going to.

1079
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 1: Miss the playoffs, then do something we're going to do anyway,

1080
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: Whereas hey, maybe this is what we can do. We

1081
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: can jar the team for the last five six weeks

1082
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: of the season. That if if that happens for the

1083
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: Yankees and suddenly there are a couple of games. On

1084
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, I can see that happening.

1085
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 4: It's it's possible. Listen, anything is possible. I I still

1086
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 4: don't see it as being that likely. And and part

1087
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 4: of the answer, part of the reason is who are

1088
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 4: you going to replace him with?

1089
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 2: Uh, Derek Peter Jeter has been critical of Jeter in

1090
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: for five weeks.

1091
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 4: I I do not think that there is much of

1092
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 4: a chance at all that that Jeter would be the

1093
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 4: manager of the New York Yankees now. If at some point,

1094
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 4: and I don't think it's imminently, If at some point

1095
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 4: far into the future, they were to look at the

1096
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 4: possibility of him being at that at that higher level,

1097
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 4: club president, something of that, of that type, maybe maybe

1098
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 4: I would see him in that role. I just don't

1099
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 4: think managing is what he's going to want to do now,

1100
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 4: the one Yankee icon. It's not going to happen now

1101
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 4: because he's got an important job with the team that's

1102
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 4: in their division. But I could see at some point

1103
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 4: in time in the future, not now, but eventually Don

1104
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 4: Maddingly managing this team at some point. I'm not saying

1105
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 4: it now, but at some point I could see him

1106
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 4: being the manager of the Yank He just because he's

1107
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 4: managed multiple stops. I think that he's never really had

1108
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 4: a chance to consistently have a winning team. He was

1109
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 4: there with the Dodgers kind of in the early phase

1110
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 4: of it. I just think that he would have a

1111
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 4: very very special connection and bond of the fan base there. Again,

1112
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen imminently, but it

1113
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 4: wouldn't surprise me if at some point in his career

1114
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 4: maddenly becomes a Yankee again. And I don't think it's

1115
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 4: gonna happen now, but I do wonder sometime down the line.

1116
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: What's funny is you know, you're talking about the teams

1117
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: that went for it at the trade deadline and being

1118
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: rewarded as such. I'm going back to my hometown. Obviously,

1119
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 2: the White Sox are what they are, and Coolson Montgomery

1120
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 2: is fine and hitting home runs, and that's exciting. On

1121
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 2: the North side, I get a lot of notes from

1122
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 2: friends going why did we do something? What are we doing?

1123
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 2: What happened to Pete crow Armstrong? Why isn't Kyle Tucker

1124
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: still a superstar? And it's all just kind of melting

1125
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 2: down while you watch the Brewers just falling to win

1126
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: after win after win.

1127
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 4: I think it's I struggle to say this. We're not

1128
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 4: even halfway through August, but it's difficult for me to

1129
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 4: imagine a world in which the Cubs win this division.

1130
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 4: It's amazing that I'm saying this based on the fact

1131
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 4: that around the fourth of July, I was feeling like, man,

1132
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 4: this team is they're the best team maybe in all

1133
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 4: baseball that they look that good. But you're right, this

1134
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 4: this period of time has really revealed the extent to

1135
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 4: which PCA was with the driver, because since he's been slumping,

1136
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 4: they have not been the same team, and Tucker's been

1137
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: just okay with PCA. The thing that even when he

1138
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 4: was going good, we kept hearing and I think it

1139
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 4: was a fair critique. The guy just swings so much

1140
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 4: and he's not selective, and at some point you go

1141
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 4: around in the league once or twice, people are going

1142
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 4: to figure that out. And I just think that he's

1143
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 4: been maybe whether it's said he's tired, whether it's that

1144
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 4: he's a little jumpie and just not getting good pitches hit.

1145
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 4: But when pitchers realize they don't have to throw you

1146
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 4: a strike to get you out. You're not going to

1147
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 4: see many strikes, and he's going to have to show

1148
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: that he can make that adjustment or else. What we've

1149
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 4: seen the lastst couple few weeks will become probably the

1150
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 4: norm for the rest of the season. He's still talented

1151
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 4: enough to make the change, but it's going to be

1152
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 4: a fairly dramatic shift and approach from what we have

1153
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 4: seen to this point because the free swinging ways of

1154
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 4: Pete grow Armstrong no longer are as charming as they

1155
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 4: were back in April and May.

1156
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, that is at John Morose.

1157
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: You see him on MLB Network, seehim at Williamsport the

1158
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: League World Series.

1159
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: Now, now I have a dare for you. You normally

1160
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 2: accept every dare I give you.

1161
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 4: So I have to let me know.

1162
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 2: Well, okay, here what they got.

1163
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: I want you to interview one of the pitchers at Williamsport,

1164
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: and I want you to say, in the middle of

1165
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: the interview, here, let me show you how to throw

1166
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: a spitball.

1167
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 4: Ah. I do believe I would need to go back

1168
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 4: into the room book to see if the spitball is

1169
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 4: expressly banned by the laws of the game at the

1170
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 4: Little League I wanted to go see the Little League

1171
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 4: Constitution there in beautiful Williams for that's going to be

1172
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 4: on my itinerary. I love that trip. I've been very

1173
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 4: fortunate to be there every year that MLB has played

1174
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 4: a Little League Classic, so I can't wait to go

1175
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 4: back there for I guess little now be a ninth time.

1176
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 4: So super excited about it.

1177
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: Ah, have fun, look forward to talk to you man.

1178
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 1: Enjoy We'll talk to you next week.

1179
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the best.

1180
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: Same money a night there goes the great John Palmrosi
