00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: He is the way tire buying should be. Well, I said,

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: I'll come back from vacation where the Mets start trading

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: to fortify that candy ass bullpen, And they did today. So,

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, I had to come back to work tonight

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: because the Mets made a couple of big trains. I'm

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: a man of my word.

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: Well, I figured if the winning streak that was rolling

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 4: along that we just kind of let Jess state in

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: the background of things while you were gone. If that

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: had continued, we were starting to build Mike Harmon's show

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: opens figuring you were never coming back. The oh yeah

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 4: no notion that you are yeah no, he'd be camped

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: outside of that Michigan White Castle forever and then we'd never.

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: See you again.

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: Occasionally you'd pop on because you wanted to scream about something,

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: but that you'd be taking a long term medical leave.

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Or however you would term it.

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: But here you are back and ready to go, and yeah,

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 4: you fortifying the bullpen. And I gotta give your guys,

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: Sternsy some credit. You know how I feel about prospects.

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: I don't care if he's right first, twelfth, fifteenth, take

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: them all, ship them all, bring me a guy that

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: can close out games.

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Hey, here's what I don't care. I'm just glad. It's

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: different names from the guys I've been watching blow things

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: well in the past few months. It could be anybody,

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: but it's a different name, and I'm okay with it.

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Is it is it Bras a ban again? No, we

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: send him down, Okay, like every day it was literally

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the Mets we're sending down these three guys. Brig, we're

46
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: deafaying these three bringing up these three. I okay, what

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: do I always say? Hey, I would trade my bullpen

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: sight unseen for the team's bullpen. Why because at least

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: if they suck, it's just different guys, and I could

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: just take a look. Okay, these guys all the man there.

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: They've been terrible, but at least they are different guys that

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: I've been watching for the past four months, just give

53
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: away leads and watching it happen unfolding on vacation. Okay,

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: mark Viento's Grand Slam five to one. We're winning this

55
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: game eight in a row. No, no, no, we're giving

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: this game back up swept by the Padres. Okay, great, great.

57
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: No, to be fair, I mean that that is good

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: because you get to hit the reset button. Yeah, because

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: now they're guys you have to familiarize yourself with. You

60
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 4: could read, you know, box scores and read the trade

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: notes and say, okay, fine, this is what we're getting.

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 4: But until you actually watch them in your uniform uniform

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: and grow to hate them, they get a little bit

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: of a pass, right. I mean, it's like you know

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: new players that you get if you're coaching, you know,

66
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: your son or daughter's team, or helping out in a

67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 4: classroom and trying to figure out who the class jackass

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: is because it's gonna change perhaps every year, depending on.

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: How your school works. That.

70
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to ferret that out and it gets

71
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: a reset. But new relationships, right, new bad habits that

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: you have to witness because you know you got tired

73
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: of the old, whatever the case may be. Now you

74
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: have a completely shuffled up bullpen bully for you.

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, shuffle up and deal, that's what it is. Shut

76
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: those big card tournaments. Shuffle up and deal. Just shuffle up. Deal.

77
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: But yes, we are here less than a day away

78
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: now from the MLB trade deadline, which is a really

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: big deal. H We're starting to see some trades. Mate.

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: The Mets get two relievers, the Phillies get a closer.

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: The Yankees made a trade today with Aaron Judge out,

82
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: they get Austin Slater from your Chicago White Sox. And

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: here they are right now trying to hold on in

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the game. They were leading in the ninth inning, but no,

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Devin Williams gives up the lead and they're tied to

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: the tenth. I gotta tell you watching this the last

87
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: few days where they bring in like Ahmed Rosario, there

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: is no team that is flailing this season. And I

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: mean contending teams. I mean I'm not sure that teams

90
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: are just failing because they stink and they're terrible. Iraqi's

91
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: looking for that eightieth loss today.

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

93
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: No, They've just been flailing from the since the beginning.

94
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: This has been like, hey, we have no hope here.

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: Dante Baschet is not walking through that door. There is

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: no team that is flailing more than the Yankees because

97
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: they have just they've watched their six game lead in

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the AL East turn into a five game deficit with

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox right on their heels. They're a half

100
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: game back. Tampa Bay is basically four games back of

101
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: them right now, and they are just absolutely flailing. Now,

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: we'll go out and get Ahmed Rosario. We'll go get

103
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Austin Slater, Aaron Judges hurt. Other teams are nervous, and

104
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: it's and it's and it's about making the right move. Hey,

105
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, we give up prospects, were getting the right pitch.

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: We do, we know what we need to do. The Yankees,

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: they are just absolutely flat. They're in such a panic

108
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: mode more than any other team. And look, yes, have

109
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: they had injuries. Sure, can you really tell that they're

110
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: missing Garrett Cole every fifth day? One hundred percent? I

111
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, But watching them this is I don't feel

112
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: like there's a plan. I don't feel like there is

113
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: anything going on other than how do we magically close

114
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: our eyes and and stop this panic? Right? It's like

115
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: when I go to bed with a headache and I go,

116
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just want to magically fall asleep

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: and wake up and the headache is gone. Like I

118
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: think that's the Yankee Yankees and the Yankee fans are

119
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: hoping right now. I'm just gonna go to bed, wake up,

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: and this headache is gonna be gone, and we're gonna

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: be back in first place, and we're gonna be debating

122
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: whether or not we bring back Aaron Boon again. But

123
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: they are just absolutely flailing. They They have lost over

124
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: ten games from their standing in the Al East over

125
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, and there is no sign that

126
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: that is stopping that. Look trouble tonight, Look a game

127
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: you think is gonna be in our w column. Devin

128
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Williams hasn't worked out. His e ra is over five.

129
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: You need to go make moves like that. And these

130
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: other teams they have problems there, but the Yankees just

131
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: we have no idea. We're just hoping to close our

132
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: eyes and sing a song and make it better.

133
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing, right, is that now you're

134
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: you're looking at the rest of that division, Baltimore playing

135
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: better baseball of late. I'm still having the nightmare scenario.

136
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: And I spoke it it spoke about it a little

137
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: bit yesterday of the idea that we're gonna have Carlos

138
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 4: Rodon and Garrett Crochet pitching in the final games of

139
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: the regular season to decide who wins that division. Hey,

140
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: ex White Sox guys, Yeah, let's let's have them.

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

142
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: And then maybe Slater now comes up and he hits

143
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: the designing home run, whatever the case may be.

144
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just chaos ensuing.

145
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: But but for the Yankees, yeah, I mean the number

146
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: of injuries, Uh, especially when we're talking about the high

147
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: priced guys. Stanton has not been I mean he is

148
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: he is what he is at this point in his career, right,

149
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: what he gives you, having played in just thirty games

150
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: to date and the judge injury. It sounds like they

151
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: averted what might have been a major issue. I remember

152
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: when that alert hit my inbox. I just started shaking

153
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: my head, going, Wow, we're just not having nice things

154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: across Major League Baseball this year. Right now, we have

155
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: the Ronald Lacunya junior. We've seen such heroics, right that

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: three hundred and ten yard, three hundred and ten foot dart.

157
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: That three hundred ten yards. Now he's thrown a football

158
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: over a mountain, but you know the base running and

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: the heroics. Four hundred sixty eight foot home run the

160
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: other day. Now he's back on the shelf and almost

161
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: in tears as he talks about it. But for the Yankees,

162
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: after what was a big run and we're talking, hey,

163
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: is Aaron Judge gonna win a triple crown? Now it's

164
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: how quickly can we get him back on the field?

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: Can he still play the outfield? Do we now have

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: ninety hs on the.

167
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Roster a lot? How does this all work? Yeah?

168
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: It is an absolute mess. And and for Aaron Boone,

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: does he get I guess he gets that, stay right

170
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: like because now you have all the excuses built in,

171
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: because you could.

172
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: Say Look, we were expected to be battling in this division.

173
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: Just because we got out to a good.

174
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: Start and watched it frit or away, does it mean

175
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: we didn't we didn't do our best. But yeah, it's

176
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a fun run in that division, no question.

177
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: All five teams could be a pain in the ass

178
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: before it's over.

179
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: And then if you okay, the Yankees have absolutely full

180
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: flailing panic mode. And then there's the problems that the

181
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: Dodgers have. Okay, this is this is just okay, I

182
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: gotta tell the truth. I got I gotta tell the

183
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: truth because for so long it's always been Hey, the

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers always make the right moves, they make the right decisions.

185
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: They're a model organization. Look at what they were able

186
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: to do. And for the most part, I agree, we

187
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: sells the big butt coming, which tells you now I disagree.

188
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: But look, they're able to get show hey Otani and

189
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: get him to defer his money, which saves them, which

190
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: gives them cash to go out and at other players, right,

191
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: the teams that play, teams that want to come, and

192
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: players who want to come play for the Dodgers, and

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: being able to turn over rookies every couple of years

194
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: to turn into all stars, whether it's Will Smith or

195
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: or finding a guy and Tommy Edmund whatever, the Dodgers

196
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: have done it. But this whole Dodgers do the great no,

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: because boy, they have not been smart. Okay, they have

198
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: not been smart in what they've been doing spending wise.

199
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: It's almost like they got the fever when Otani decided, Hey,

200
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take all my money deferred in ten years.

201
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Because what the Dodgers have done is they've spent what

202
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: is it, four hundred million dollars on salary and they

203
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: have so many needs at the trade deadline? Right, how

204
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: does the how do the Dodgers have so many needs?

205
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: But they do? Now this is the Yankees are in

206
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: a battle just to even make the postseason, and guys

207
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: jobs are at stake. The Dodgers. This is about, Hey,

208
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: when you spend four hundred million dollars, you're supposed to

209
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: win the World Series and instead you're just one of

210
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of other good teams. Why because the Dodgers

211
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: has so many injuries and why this is why they

212
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: haven't been smart. I'm sorry, but you're not smart. You

213
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: can't spend five hundred million dollars on pitchers and expect

214
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: it to come through. Right. You saw it tonight show

215
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: hee Otani left the game in the fourth inning with

216
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: a cramp. Now you're hoping that that's what it is

217
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: with Otani, that it's a cramp. But he has shown

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: that he's not gonna be someone you can build the

219
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: rotation around. He said two UCL surgeries already. It's why

220
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: he keep saying, make them a closer, man, make them

221
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: a closer. You spend three hundred million on Yamamoto, who's

222
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: having a good year, right, but he was hurt last year.

223
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. You won last year. But he's having a

224
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: good year. Okay, great, But now you throw in glass

225
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: now that you spent thirty five million dollars a year

226
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: on and the guy has had problems staying healthy and

227
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: you don't know what he's going to be able to

228
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: do to try to to try to get you over

229
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: the hump. Same thing with Blake Snell. You overspent on

230
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: Blake Snell. You gave him thirty five million dollars a year,

231
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, and got Tanner Scott. Okay, that's great, he was,

232
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: but you're paying a relief pitcher that kind of money

233
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: and he's been injured. You you've spent so much money

234
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: on starting. You can have one guy that you're spending

235
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money on, right, you can have the

236
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: one stopper you decide, Hey, he's gonna be our guy.

237
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna spend a lot of money. But you have

238
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: four or five guys you are paying all kinds of

239
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: money to, and guess what. The long term investment in

240
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: pitching is not good. This is why most teams are

241
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: going through a philosophy and strategy of hey, we want

242
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: to get a guy for a couple of years and

243
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: if they if they're ineffective, we can move on from them.

244
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: The Dodgers decided we're going all in just because we

245
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: have the money to spend and just be And I

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: get it. It's like when my dad walks around when

247
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: he's got twenty dollars in his pockets burning a hole.

248
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: I gotta spend it, something like my dad can't have

249
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: any money, I gotta spend it. Like the Dodgers got

250
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: this money, they decided, Okay, now we can go out

251
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: and spend money on Tyler Glass. Now really was that

252
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: the right investment at that point? Right, Let's spend this

253
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: money on Blake Snell, who's had really just a couple

254
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: of elite years. Oh, by the way, hey, elite years

255
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: when his contract is coming up, right, you're spending a

256
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: lot of money on guys. And Yamamoto, you still don't

257
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do long term for you. Is

258
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: he gonna be a great pit You want to think

259
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: he is, right, and he's having a good year this year,

260
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: but still, and Scott to the way, how volatile relievers

261
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: are when you want to get in and out from contracts,

262
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Like the Dodgers have spent five hundred million dollars on

263
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: pitching when pitching is not a good investment. So no,

264
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: if you're investing in everyday players and you're making moves

265
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: to fortify the every day lineup, hey man, good luck

266
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: trying to beat a team that does that. But the

267
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers decided, Hey, we struggle with pitching every year. Guys

268
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: get hurt. Let's go make us bulletproof for pitching. Guess

269
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: what you can't you can't do. You would think the

270
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Dodge had like nine starting pitchers coming in at where

271
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: are they? How are they gonna possibly get a Is

272
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Kershaw even gonna be able to pitch. Is he gonna

273
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: crack this rotation? I look at where the Dodgers are now.

274
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: They've made so many mistakes because they went all in

275
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: on starting pitching and and big money on relief pitching,

276
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: and that's not a great investment, especially guys that have

277
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: shown their injury proof, their ineffective. They rolled the dice.

278
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: These were not moves that were hey, these were solid,

279
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: over the top. This was if everything works, Boy, what

280
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: a great team this is gonna be. But now you

281
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: are seeing the disaster scenai, which is all these pitchers

282
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: that are hurt and ineffective, and now suddenly the Dodgers

283
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: are mortal. No one's afraid of them in the play,

284
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: No one's afraid enough. You have to play them.

285
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: Now.

286
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: We still have two more months to go. Dodgers got

287
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: to make some moves at some point. But right now,

288
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: no one's afraid of the Dodgers. No one's afraid to

289
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: go into series again. What pitch you're gonna throw at me?

290
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Who are gonna throw at me? You're gonna make Cofax

291
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: and Drysdale. If that happens, boy, then I'm I'm really

292
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: nervous at that point. But really, the Dodgers. They have

293
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: not spent that money that show hal Tani gifted them

294
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: smart enough, because starting pitching is a bad investment.

295
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think a lot of it though, Jason and

296
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: in like the beauty of it is, we joke about it.

297
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: You can always go sell another painting and go back

298
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 4: into the marketplace. But and where they're at right now,

299
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: I think there we within two games of what their

300
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 4: record was a year ago. So it probably doom and

301
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 4: gloom and everything else, like, eh, they're right out pace

302
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 4: just because we had him as an over under. I

303
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 4: think it was what one oh four and a half

304
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 4: or one oh five and a half or whatever it

305
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 4: was that we talk about coming into the year, the

306
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: expectations of greatness. You highlighted the Blake Snell thing. It's

307
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: like when Rendon signed his thing contract with the Angels.

308
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 4: I don't think that we've ever been more right about

309
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: anything on the show.

310
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Two of those things.

311
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: And if Blake Stell comes back and pitches like a

312
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: house of fire in the playoffs and whatever, that's great.

313
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: But at this point I'm taking a victory lap in

314
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: this moment, waiting for him to find his way back,

315
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 4: and by all reports, that's gonna happen soon enough.

316
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: But it goes also to tie into.

317
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: The larger issue for all of the analytics and everything

318
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: you buy, how about you buy something that fixes the

319
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: training room that these guys it isn't a revolving door.

320
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Okay, that guy's out.

321
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: Like I watched, I'm catching up on the season of

322
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: the Pit I finished it today spoiler alert. There's a

323
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: lot of chaos, but all of it comes down to

324
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: you do the best you can with it. But you

325
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: know you're just trying to shuttle people from one stop

326
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: to the next. That feels like what the Dodgers are doing.

327
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: We are talk about in the NFL for years, going

328
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: back with the Chargers and the Ravens. Right, how do

329
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 4: we get the big Kyrie Irving sage brush? Can you

330
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: build one big enough to clean out the demons in

331
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: your training groom?

332
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, it feels like every year we're having that.

333
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: Same questions, like, hey, they spent a lot of money,

334
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: all right, when's that guy going to the IL can't

335
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: call it the DL anymore? And yes, Clayton Kershaw will

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: by default have to pitch very meaningful innings at the

337
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: end of September. That's just where we are in this process, Jason.

338
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,119
Speaker 4: So it is absolute chaos. Yet would anybody be surprised

339
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: if at the end of it all the honk of

340
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: metal is residing in LA at the end of the day.

341
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't be.

342
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: But to your point, yeah, it's just a NonStop congo

343
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: line of injuries and ineffectiveness. Look at the two pitchers

344
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: they brought in to bolster the back end. Not to

345
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: mention that all of these guys are what sixty appearances

346
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: as we get ready for August or high fifties for

347
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: all these relievers day really churning and burning, just like

348
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: you did in the All Star Game.

349
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh good luck. I tell you it's just not smart.

350
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's great that you pay. We went out

351
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: and did it well, you got but you gotta spend

352
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: your money smartly and say, Okay, maybe maybe you want

353
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: to fortify those everyday guys. Maybe that's what we want

354
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: to go do, or go over spend a little bit

355
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: on some bullpen guys, because eventually we're gonna get to

356
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Let's find we can get by with some

357
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: start No, no, no, We're gonna go give all kinds

358
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: of money to players that we have no idea if

359
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: we can count on them, if they're gonna be ineffective,

360
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: if they're gonna be healthy, like say Dodge's always now

361
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: they showed you, they show you right now. They should

362
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: not be fallible. Right now they are fallible. They should

363
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: be infallible. Let you know what they should be.

364
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: Just to tie it tie it up, though, I mean,

365
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: there are a couple of guys over in that lineup

366
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: that are making I almost said a term that can't

367
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 4: be FCC compliant, or maybe it is.

368
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

369
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 4: We could test it, but it's the idea that Mookie

370
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: Bets and fred Freddie Freeman at home run today. It

371
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 4: was this first and a month and Mookie Bets had

372
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: always been dealing with some family stuff. But go back

373
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: to when he got sick before the trip to Japan.

374
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 4: That guy's not been right all season long. Trying to

375
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: move him to the to the leadoff spot. Maybe you're

376
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 4: seeing a little bit more out of him going forward,

377
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 4: But those are two guys that are high priced that

378
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: you were banking on to have, maybe not repeats of

379
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 4: a year ago, but to keep things moving. Hell, the

380
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 4: best hitter in the National League has been Will Smith.

381
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: Is the only guy heading over three hundred. That's what.

382
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 4: There's only one guy d over, one guy, one guy.

383
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: And then Shoe a Otani. I mean we talked about

384
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: him leaving the mound earlier. Suddenly he's swinging at everything

385
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: like he's in the home run derby and they gave

386
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 4: him a pitch limit exit.

387
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: How about a Fresca exit? Swollen down. The band is

388
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: back together, Jason Smith Mike Carmon live from the Fox

412
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 6: honestly because this guy is over promising things we never

00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,040

418
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,479

Speaker 1: That the day of the man's funeral, well, now that's

438
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: some thing. I've been on vacation right for the last week,

439
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: and and Ozzy passing away and it's it was such

440
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: a such a shock, obviously coming so soon after his

441
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: last show, which was been the concert event of the

442
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: past decade. And I'll tell you what's been amazing, right

443
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: is doing so much driving, being out and especially being

444
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: in Detroit, where I'll tell you this, there are no

445
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: better rock stations in my entire life than in Detroit,

446
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: whether it's Riff or wheels, like all the new bands

447
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: that I wind up getting into that have gotten into

448
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: the last like fifteen years. Like I've heard them all

449
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: on Riff right, like that's the first place I've heard them.

450
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: But like even even then, like being back on vacation

451
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000

454
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,600

458
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: no matter what the format stations have, they're playing Ozzy

00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes they're playing two Azzi songs an hour just

00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: and then forty five minutes later you're gonna get you know,

465
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: Snowblind from Black Sabbath or something else. Just like formats

466
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: have been out the window and it's like we're still

467
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: mourning and and and going through this period with Ozzy

468
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Osbourne dying, which is just it it it just it

469
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: blows me away that, hey, you know, look every day,

470
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, look, this is how life is. You get

471
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: when you get older and you get towards the end,

472
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: and legends die and and we reflect on it and

473
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: we go on with our lives, and that's kind of

474
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: how it goes. And once in a while you get

475
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: that rare time where when we lose a legend and

476
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: it's not just here's a day or two, you know,

477
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: we talk about them and everybody gets back to their lives,

478
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: because that's what it is, right, you got to keep living.

479
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: But just the week or so that we've had of

480
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: the of mourning, of losing Ozzie and and hearing people

481
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: just devote entire shows on rock radio to people that

482
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: knew and that I'm gonna play my favorite Ozzie songs tonight,

483
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: and it's been throwing the format out the window, Like

484
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I I didn't go more than twenty minutes in the

485
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: car in the last week from hearing an Ozzie or

486
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: a Black Sabbath song. And it's still going like it

487
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: shows no sign of it and we're still gonna get

488
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: this best of Assie. This shows you the type of

489
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: impact that he had, not just on on jen xers

490
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: who grew up like you and I did on Ozzie,

491
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: not just the millennials that saw him from the from

492
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: on the Osbourne the people that discovered him later on

493
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: in life, all his commercials that he would have on,

494
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: but just overall, just so many people from so many

495
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: different walks of life and the impact that Ozzy Osbourne

496
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: had on them. I mean, here we are a week

497
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: later and it's still Ozzie tributes and everything with Ozzie,

498
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: and I'm just blown away by it that it's it's

499
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: a full week and this is this is really just

500
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: an incredible thing. And I'm enjoying talking about Ozzy with

501
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: all my friends and with my daughter, and I'm sure

502
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: you are with your kids too, and just different conversations

503
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: about in the people that don't know anything going tell

504
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: me about Ozzy and his career. So I'll sit down

505
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: and have a glass lemonade with your fifty year old

506
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: uncle Jason, and I'll tell you exactly where I was

507
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: the first time I heard Bark at the Moon. I

508
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: really I'm very rarely do we get something like this,

509
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: and it's been it's been a full week plus of

510
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: mourning and remembering Ozzy Osbourne, and again I'm blown away

511
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: by that.

512
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 4: Well you talk about, you know, going to Detroit and

513
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: obviously have got the Detroit Rock City song. But but

514
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 4: everything that expawned out of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, right,

515
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: so in over the course of his life. I don't

516
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: know how deep you go into the reservoir, but certainly

517
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: for me, I mean, there's plenty of covers and let's

518
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: call it, once upon a time there were a lot

519
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: of little streaming services whereby you'd have a bunch of

520
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: boot legs and random recordings and things of that nature.

521
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 4: Like all of those started to resurface once again. I

522
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 4: went and ferreted out a couple of discs that had,

523
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 4: you know, some rare live tracks and whatever else, you know.

524
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 4: Explaining it talk to some friends, you mentioned the reality show.

525
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: I mean that was the link, both for Ozzy Osbourne

526
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 4: and hul Cogan of there's a whole separate segment of

527
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 4: folks that only knew him as dads on these reality

528
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 4: shows and being weird there.

529
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: Right, So all of that, you know, kind of comes

530
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: to a hill. You're you're gone.

531
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 4: And yesterday I'm blubbering like an idiot because we find

532
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 4: out Ryan Sandberg died right before the show started. And

533
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: not as much as I hated the Cubs, he was

534
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 4: Chicago Baseball in my youth. So like just convergence of events.

535
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: But with Ozzy Osbourne, I mean you're talking about a global,

536
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: global icon that begat Like it's like reading the early

537
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 4: parts of a Bible, and this guy begat, that guy begat,

538
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: that guy begat, that guy that bass player left and

539
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: went and worked over there. So you got the Ozzie

540
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: family tree coming together. You saw part of it during

541
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: the what ten and a half hours of that concert

542
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: a few weeks back. You know what was interesting is

543
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 4: Ozzie died the same number of days after his last

544
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: show as Lemmy Killmeister did a Motorhead. Kind of an odd,

545
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 4: odd little convergence there of two rock legends. But all

546
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 4: of that, to say, right, it just keeps spinning off

547
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 4: and you're hearing all these tales of what a joke,

548
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: story was, what a pain in the ass, and people

549
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: have their opinions of Sharon Osbourne, man you watched her

550
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 4: today and your heart broke for because you know she's

551
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: been through hell and back, probably caused some hell and

552
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: back for other people along the way, but you know,

553
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 4: you see how broken the family was, and people of

554
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: Birmingham turned out, and all across the world, I mean

555
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: people streamed five minutes, ten minutes an hour of that procession,

556
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: including that band playing Paranoid I mean, and iron Man

557
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 4: and everything. Come on, How great was that?

558
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: I really? I you know, seeing today in the funeral

559
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: and just getting a car turning on that again, you're

560
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: not gonna go more than ten minutes, yea without here

561
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: in a black Sabbath or a OZ like there are

562
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: pop stations, No, that's Crazy Train, Like okay this, there's

563
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: remixes that hit the charge right that they can go

564
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: delve into Close my Eyes forever. You can go put

565
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: that on the country station, like there's lots you can do.

566
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: We're giving away Katie Perry tickets coming up next hour.

567
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: But hey right here, hey Ozzy Osbourne, Crazy Train back

568
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: in nineteen, It's like, what the hell is happening? I mean,

569
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: it's so awesome that they're celebrating his life, like I

570
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: mean it you think about impact people have. I don't.

571
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to remember the last time somebody

572
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: had this kind of impact musically on I mean, and

573
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: there's people. Look, we lose important people all the time.

574
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: But just seeing this, this outpouring of love and remembrance

575
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: for the last ten days, now, this is this is

576
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: so special.

577
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: Man's amazing stuff. I'm hopeful to get ten minutes from

578
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 4: one or two people that that's that's where I'm at

579
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: in my existence. I'm not getting the global send off,

580
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 4: but damn it, the one or two people will be

581
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: affected that I can't hope.

582
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Hey, I knew by Carmen. Eh, he's an okay guy.

583

594
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Well played, my friend. From one amazing story to another

595
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: coming up in ninety seconds. But first, Martin Wis has

596
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: what's trending in the wide world of sports, including the

597
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: New York Mets getting the two greatest relievers in baseball history.

598
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: They've got to help fortify their team as we get

599
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: towards the trade deadline.

600
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, pun intended. It's an arms race in the NL East.

601
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: I'll beat here all night, the Mets. I'll start with

602
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: them trading for the Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley and right

603
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: in the pitcher Tyler Rogers from the Giants. The Phillies

604
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: though then finalized the deal to bring you on around

605
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 3: from the Twins and two top prospects. Speaking of trades

606
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: as a whole bunch, we'll get to in just a minute.

607
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: But the Yankees just walked off the Rays five to

608
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: four after Ryan McMahon, new Yankee third baseman formerly of

609
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: the Colorado Rockies. You know what that's new for him winning,

610
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: you know, seeing as he was a Rocky. They woke

611
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: off the race in five to four. And eleven.

612
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what do we do after a win.

613
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what is there anything

614
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: different we do because I don't know anything about that exactly.

615
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 3: It's all news. The Marlins beat the Cardinals two to nothing.

670
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: amazing stories, and I see this and I go back

671
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: to thinking, what this guy's career could have been right.

672
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: Gilbert Arenas was arrested today on charges of having illegal

673
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: poker games at his mansion in Encino, you know, just

674
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: a few miles from here, outside of Los Angeles. This

675
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: according to release from the United States Attorney's Office of

676
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: Central California. Agent Zer, who's starting the league for a

677
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: long time, remember and kind of found his way out

678
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: of favor after the gun incident with Javaris Crittenden. That'll

679
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: do it just derailed his career. He is trying. I mean,

680
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: these are serious charges. Why wait, the guy at a

681
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: high stakes poker game at his house, Well, yeah, he

682
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: rented out his house for these big poker games. And

683
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: also they say that the group hired chefs, valets, armed

684
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: security guards to staff the games. They had young women

685
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: serve drinks, provided massages, offered companionship to the poker players

686
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: in exchange for tips. Apparently, one suspected high level member

687
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: of an Israeli organized crime group was heavily involved in this.

688
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: The co conspirators who put this on took a cut

689
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: of the servers tips from the games. Like this is

690
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: a sid Like this guy tried this, I'm gonna turn

691
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: like a real crazy below boards Rounders casino. I'm turning

692
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: my mansion into a casino. So this is some serious stuff.

693
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: Man.

694
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: He's facing up to five years in federal prison for this,

695
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: and his trial begins in about a month and a half.

696
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: This happened a couple of years ago, in twenty twenty one,

697
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and I look at Gilbert arenas Mike

698
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: and I just always think the same thing when he

699
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: was before the gun incident, if he had been able

700
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: to not be his own worst enemy. Right, the gun

701
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: incident really put a torpedo on his career, and now

702
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: this year he can't just when he was getting more

703
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: popular again with his podcast like Agent zero, he was entertaining,

704
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: he was fun. He would have been he could have

705
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: been Charles Barklay now when it comes to what we

706
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: think and people we respect talking about the NBA, because

707
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: he was one of the first guys to become a

708
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: big social media internet superstar in the early two thousands, right,

709
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: this is when he started his website in agentzero dot com.

710
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: He started doing all these interviews, and this is back when, Hey,

711
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: if you said stuff that was a little outlandish, but

712
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: you had some cachet behind it, you really stood out,

713
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: like Gilbert Arenas was a guy that people were paying

714
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: attention to. Do we talk him so much on the

715
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: radio in the mid Oh, hey, Gilbert Arena said this.

716
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: Gilbert Rena said this. He was on his way after

717
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: his playing days were over. He would have been like

718
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Charles Barker, he would have been Kenny Smith. He would

719
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: have been on inside the NBA. He would have been

720
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: this huge basketball voice. And then he had the gun

721
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: incident that really derailed all of that. Now he's since

722
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: been trying to make a comeback with his podcast. Okay, great,

723
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: And now here's a gambling thing. And oh, by the way,

724
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: he just clowned on Malik Beasley for getting caught gambling

725
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: about a month and a half ago. Now here he is, Yeah,

726
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: because I'm running this whole high stakes poker that nobody

727
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: found out about three years ago. Oh wait, you found

728
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: out about that? Like he wasn't ask it.

729
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: And easily got his revenge. And he's a source. Okay,

730
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 4: I'll tell you something about that. You oh you, oh,

731
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 4: screw me?

732
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: No, no, I heard. But I mean, if if he

733
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: could have just avoided this knuckleheaded stuff, that's the kind

734
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: of basketball voice, that's the kind of career that he

735
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: would have now and have been enjoying for the better

736
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: part of the last decade plus. But he just couldn't

737
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: do it. And these two things that have just completely

738
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: derailed his entire career. Well, and it would have he

739
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: would have been on a whole other level.

740
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 4: Remember when all that went down, as a guy that

741
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: was coming off years that he averaged twenty five, twenty nine,

742
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: and twenty eight points per game, so he was filling

743
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: it up. You know, you go back to his college

744
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 4: days at Arizona. I remember him when he was signing

745
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 4: with a g and a giant zero in college back in.

746
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: The day is autograph.

747
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 4: So I all of that to say, yeah, I mean,

748
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 4: he would have had more pelts on the wall and

749
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: longer run as a superstar, which begets more opportunity to

750
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 4: be that kind of level of guy. And clearly he

751
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: was in the I don't care phase of things when

752
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 4: he was doing appearances and having his say around the league,

753
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: which which gave him a big audience and a giant

754
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 4: platform to work from. I still have a million questions

755
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: with this right because there's a lot of other charges

756
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 4: that are being thrown by the co conspirators in this

757
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 4: in terms of immigration fraud, marriage falsehoods, in terms of

758
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 4: are they legally married? Are they not? What else is

759
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: going on? So it's not just a poker game. This

760
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 4: could actually become like some giant mini series for HBO

761
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 4: Max or something before this is done with all the

762
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 4: subplots that are starting to develop with some of this

763
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 4: cast of characters. But for him, yeah, I mean he

764
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 4: had all of it, and in this day and age

765
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 4: where more and more podcasts and partnerships and everything else

766
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: found his voice, right, you're able to put those kind

767
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: of things because I mean that incident happened all the

768
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 4: way back in two thousand and nine. That's long in

769
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: the rear view mirror. We've had a million other stories

770
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 4: that have come up since. But yeah, this one as

771
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: you just shook your head right, because I mean, you

772
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: had the Class A and whatever's going on with the Guardians.

773
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 4: We've had all sorts of little gaming. Now you've gotten this,

774
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: and again it's legal if you don't take a raak.

775
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 4: But I want to know what else is going on

776
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 4: ex I mean, just he's.

777
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Been his own worst enemy from I mean, to think

778
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: of what he'd be doing now, he'd be that first

779
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: guy to break through that next generation of analyst, and

780
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: again he did it all to himself. That's what I

781
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: think about when I think about agents here, That's what

782
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: he could be doing instead. It's it's these high stakes

783
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: poker games in Encina.

784
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 4: I want to know having a food they were serving

785
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 4: is a top shelf booze, I mean where they watering

786
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 4: it down?

787
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Is that the next charge that's coming out of this

788

Speaker 2: Swung on fly ball, well hit deep center field outman.

806
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: Going back at the lowly leagues, hof this glove. It

807
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: stays in play. Two runs are gonna score. Steer on

808
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: his horse to.

809
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 5: Third, three lays two not in time, and it rolls

810
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 5: away from Freeland.

811
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: So you like that Steer on his horse. You like

812
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: that Steer. That's pretty good? Yeah, I am. The Reds

813
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: breaking a two to two tie with the dodge in

814
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of the eighth inning, Steers triple brings in two.

815
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: They go on to win it five to two. This game, though,

816
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: known more for what happened with Shoheo Tani, who left

817
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: the game in the fourth inning after throwing six consecutive balls. Now,

818
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: what we've heard right away and coming out of this

819
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: is that it was a cramp for Otani and that's

820
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: why I had to come out of the game. And okay,

821
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: that's fine, but let me just again, I feel like

822
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: I want to just say this because it's it's you're

823
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: just everybody's just tempting fate. Otani is never gonna be

824
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher that you can depend on, right He's

825
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: not at this point. He's been missed the last year

826
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: and a half. He's had two major elbow surgeries. Like

827
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: I say all the time, make them a closer, make

828
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: them a closer, make them a closer. At least then

829
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some sort of investment out of him.

830
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: Don't have to worry about the position because he can

831
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: DH all the way through. Then, okay, you want him tournament,

832
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: but you're closing the game, which you don't think you're

833
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: gonna have a bottom of the top of the bottom

834
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: of the ninth inning because you're gonna you're gonna close

835
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: things out now. But he's never gonna be able to

836
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: pitch to a point where you can say he's gonna

837
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: give you one hundred and twenty even one hundred and

838
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: twenty five innings a year, right. I mean, Otani is

839
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: over thirty years old with two bad elbow injuries. I

840
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: don't know why the Dodgers are still bent on making

841
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: him a starter. Yes, it's a bit of an adjustment

842
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: and it would be a different mindset, but I'm pretty

843
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: sure Shoeo Tani could handle that, but I feel like

844
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: if they keep running him out there as a starting pitcher,

845
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: eventually it's just gonna be an injury, and then it

846
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: could wind up being an injury that stops him from

847
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: being able to play right, which is what you really

848
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: wanted to do. So every time I said, yes, okay,

849
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: it's a cramp for Shoeo Tani, but he has shown

850
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: you that his health wise, now in his thirties pitching,

851
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: it may not be there, and you want to protect

852
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: and keep him on the field as much as possible.

853
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: So I think it's kind of time to think of

854
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: something different for Otani now that he's thirty one, going

855
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 1: to be thirty two years old.

856
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 4: Now, in this particular case, we avoid the major injury,

857
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 4: and certainly concerning six straight balls, a couple of whild pitches,

858
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: and nowhere near the zone fifty one pitches today, thirty

859
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: two strikes three innings and gets chased the five hits

860
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 4: that he allowed to still had four strikeouts. They'll keep

861
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 4: flirting with disaster because.

862
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: It's not an arm injury, it's a tweak.

863
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: So you push and and try to find your way,

864
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 4: I think, until you get your full rotation back, though, Jason,

865
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 4: We're gonna keep seeing him trot it out, even just

866
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 4: for three innings at a time.

867
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: Man, I'm telling you like it's like the Dodgers, just

868
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: tempting fate every time. We're gonna link them out and

869
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: do this telling you a closing, it's the way to go.

870
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: We got a big story from the NFL coming up

871
