He was kind of lamenting the 44 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: fact that, despite his incredible success in such a short 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: period time, at twenty nine years old, he finds himself 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: not really getting the fulfillment he thought he would get 47 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: from wins. 48 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: Take a listen, it feels like you work your whole 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes. 50 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: It only lasts a few minutes that kind of euphoric feeling, 51 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: like to win the Byron Nelson Championship at home. I 52 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: literally worked my entire life to become good at golf 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 3: to have an opportunity to win that tournament, and you 54 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: win it, You celebrate, get to hug my family, My 55 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: sister's there at such an amazing moment, and then it's like, okay, 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: now what are we going to eat for dinner? You know, 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 3: life goes on. This is it great to be able 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have 59 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: in the game of golf. Yet I mean, it brings 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 3: tears my eyes just to think about because it's literally 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: worked my entire life to become good at this sport 62 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: and to have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: think is a pretty cool feeling. You know, to get 64 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: to live out your dreams, it's very special. But at 65 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: the end of the day, it's like, I'm not out 66 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I don't 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: I'm not here to inspire somebody else to be the 68 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: best player in the world, because what's the point. You know, 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: this is not a fulfilling life. It's it's fulfilling from 70 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfilling from a 71 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: sense of like the deepest places of your heart. There's 72 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: a lot of people that make it to what they 73 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: thought was going to fulfill them in life, and then 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: you get there and all of a sudden you get 75 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: to number one in the world, and then they're like, 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: what's the point? I really do believe that, because you know, 77 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: what is the point? You're like, why do I want 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: to win this tournament so bad? That's something that I 79 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: wrestle with on a daily basis. It's like showing up 80 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: with the Masters every year. It's like, why do I 81 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: I want to win the Open Chamish so badly. I 83 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: don't know, because if I win, it's gonna be awesome 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: for about two minutes, and then we're gonna get to 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: the next week and it's gonna be like, hey, you 86 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: want two majors this year? How important is it for 87 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: you to win the fex Cup playoffs. It's just like 88 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: we're back here again, you know, So we really do. 89 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: We work so hard for such little moments, and you know, 90 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 3: I'm kind of sick of I love putting in the work, 91 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: I love being able to practice, I love getting out 92 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: to live out my dreams. But at the end of 93 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: the day, sometimes I just don't understand the point. 94 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: It's an interesting one. Look, I'll share with you this 95 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: personal story. Okay, when I I was at ESPN ten years, 96 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: nine years in Bristol, and it was really really hard 97 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: when I left because and I think ESPN obviously it's interesting. 98 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: Now if you say ESPN, there'll be as many negative 99 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: comments as there is positive comments. Some of it's fair, 100 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: a lot of it's unfair where you're taking you know, 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: literally every network has gone through this where because politics 102 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: has become so unbelievably divisive that if you take the 103 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: comments of one and you put it to the whole, 104 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: especially as as big as ESPN is, as many people 105 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: are on at ESPN that I think there's there's an 106 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: unfair negative connotation about the place. But my boss here, 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: scottis Shapiro, was there at the same time. 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: I loved it. 109 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: I loved that I worked at the magazine, I wrote 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: for dot com. I obviously at college basketball, I had 111 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: a radio show. And I started the radio show doing 112 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: like a late night seven p to one AM, me 113 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: and Chuck Wilson, and we all kind of grew from 114 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: there and then I end up having kind of four 115 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: to seven the afternoon. And the point is that, like 116 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: when I got in, all those people that had come 117 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: through as producers and board ops, they kind of grew 118 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: and they're now bosses or running radio stations or gone 119 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: off and and and become even bigger and brighter and better. 120 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: When it was really hard for me to leave, and 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: I remember I was so excited about doing uh, moving home, 122 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: doing the Final four, doing the NCAA tournament. And then 123 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: I got done with the first year and I was 124 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: in California, but it wasn't as easy and the travel 125 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: was way harder, and we were working with people you 126 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: didn't know and they didn't know you, and it's a 127 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: completely different way of doing the exact same thing you've 128 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: done forever, and you're just so uncomfortable. And I came 129 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: up with an idea for a book, and the idea 130 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: for the book is kind of what Scotti Seffler's saying, 131 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: and which is the I was trying to think of, 132 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: like the top of the mountain has no chairs, right 133 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: because there's no ability. You just don't have the ability 134 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: to enjoy your successes. Now, for me, part of it 135 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: was I was doing a radio shows, doing a TV show, 136 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: and I was doing college basketball. If I had just 137 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: done college basketball and just one the final four, I 138 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind I would have really 139 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: enjoyed that time. 140 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: Off with my summer. 141 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: I you know, my personal life kind of started to, 142 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to say degrade. I still had I 143 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: thought a great perner. Because I was working so much 144 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: and striving for more and more and more and more more. 145 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: There were things that I wasn't able to do and 146 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: I didn't do for my family, for my ex spouse, 147 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: and you kind of come to realize that, you know, 148 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: one you either have to take ownership of your life 149 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: and going, hey, I gotta take time for the people 150 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: that I care about and not just for my job. 151 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: And then two, you have to have to find a 152 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: life partner that embraces that part of you, you know, 153 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: because if you're with somebody who doesn't enjoy the climb, 154 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: doesn't enjoy the fight, you know, it's like, hey, you won, 155 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: You're good, smile, enjoy it, and you know, just cruise 156 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: and have a great life. I think I could do that, 157 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: but I don't think. 158 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: That's who I am. 159 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: I Jay s dude, you know who Bruce Gilbert is, right. 160 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: Bruce used to be our boss a long time ago 161 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: at ESPN Radio. He was once spun time the boss 162 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Trade.

You'd never have 169 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: to talk hockey again. Every study we've seen, everyone we've 170 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: seen says, you know, you talk about hockey on national radio. 171 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 4: Great. 172 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, here's the negative is you gotta do 173 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: better baseball. You come out of college basketball and at 174 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: the time, baseball is incredibly important and we're ow kid 175 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: in the Northeast, Red Sox, Yankees, et cetera. And he said, 176 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: he said, we start talking about like who you are 177 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: as a person, and I said, I'm a more guy. 178 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: He's like, what do you mean. 179 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: I said, I just there's never been a thing in 180 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: my life time in my life where I. 181 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: Haven't wanted more. 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: You know, binge Watching shows is like made for me 183 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: because if I watch a show, I gotta watch ten. 184 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: You know. 185 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: One of the reasons I rarely drink is because I 186 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: just again I do, I will do things to excess. 187 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: I'm not excessive compulsive, but I'm I just. I always 188 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: want the next thing. I get an opportunity, I want 189 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: another opportunity, I get a chance, I want another chance, 190 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: I get a job or another job. 191 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: I make ten. I want twenty. 192 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: And at the time it was this is who I am, 193 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: which is great, but there is there can be a 194 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: lack of fulfillment with just enjoying the daily w and 195 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: enjoying what you the success you have while still pursuing 196 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: that excellence. Anyway, when I hear Scotty Scheffler talk about it, 197 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: I relate to it. I understand it can be super, 198 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: super lonely, it can be super unfulfilling, and you do 199 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: feel robotic if you're a process orange a guy and 200 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: you're constantly going to practice range like what am I 201 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: doing this for? 202 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: But I also will. 203 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: Tell you that when you take that competitive event out 204 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: of somebody's life, they just search for things to compete with. 205 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: And that's when it doesn't. It doesn't work outside the 206 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: sports world. I actually think like, hey, Scotty, you know 207 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: you should do not go to the Masters next year, 208 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: watch it at home or be away from it, and 209 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: that's how you'll know if you're jonesing for it. The 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: hardest thing for most athletes, that first year is terrible. 211 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: And I tell coaches this all the time. I told 212 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: Irban Meyer this before he went back and took the 213 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars job. I was like, hey, if you do games, 214 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: this is remember he was ESPN, then he went back, 215 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: then he was Fox. Then he went back to the Jaguars, right, 216 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: And I was like, if you do games, if you 217 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: call games live, you're gonna want to coach. If you're 218 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: in the studio, maybe maybe not. But if you're at 219 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: the actual stadium, you're at the arena, you're gonna want 220 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: to do it. Why because you're a competitor and all 221 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: the goosebumps on your arm come up, because you don't 222 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: even care if you're in the losing locker room. 223 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: You just want a chance. 224 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: You just want to scoreboard and a bunch of guys 225 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: and a bunch of coaches and try and figure out 226 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: how to win. Anyway, I think some of this is 227 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: in his wiring, some of it is in generationally that 228 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: people are searching for fulfillment at an age in which 229 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: that's not really time for fulfillment. And some of it 230 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: is in the fact that maybe some of us are 231 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: also screwed up in that we just love the competition. 232 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: On a daily basis. That ends my ted talk. Jase too, 233 00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: what do. 234 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 5: You think makes sense to me? That's your experience? Absolutely, 235 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 5: I think that the uh. The one thing that I 236 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 5: heard the second time we played the chef or Sound 237 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 5: is that he is telling us that he has either 238 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 5: been to therapy or wants to go to therapy to 239 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 5: resolve whatever it is that disallows him to enjoy the wins, 240 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 5: because I don't think every every athlete is wired this way. 241 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 5: I do think that very few athletes are wired to 242 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: be sophisticated enough to articulate it as well as he did. 243 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 5: In other words, I don't have faith in a lot 244 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 5: of athletes articulating that if they feel it. But I 245 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 5: think he's telling us he needs to fix whatever is 246 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 5: preventing him from being fulfilled by these wins. 247 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: H I think, listen, there's a lot of ways in 248 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: which people go after fulfillment, right guys. Sometimes it's drugs. 249 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes as women, sometimes it's you. You keep trying for 250 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: that next win, thinking Okay, now I'll feel the fulfillment. 251 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean therapy is a is a good route. 252 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: You mentioned relationships and not having that as a kind 253 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: of background or a support system. If you will for 254 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: everything he does, I think that would be interesting. I 255 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: think also, you know, if you don't want to do it, 256 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: if it's not bringing you joy, you don't want to compete, fine, 257 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: plenty of dudes that do. I low second time through 258 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: what do you hear when you listen to listen. 259 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 6: To I think that's what made this such a fascinating topic. 260 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 6: But just like Jason, I caught something the second time 261 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 6: that I didn't catch the first time. Of course, what 262 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 6: I caught was a lot more impressive and insightful than 263 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 6: what Jason caught. I'm just trying to just trying to 264 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 6: bust your chops there. It was at the very end 265 00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 6: when he basically said, but I still love the I 266 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 6: love the work that goes into it. And to me, 267 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 6: that told me a lot, because, as you mentioned, Doug, 268 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 6: there's so many different types out there. Some people achieve 269 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 6: one thing, they're immediately onto the next thing. I think 270 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 6: there's other people who are in love with the process 271 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 6: and not necessarily the result. And what I'm talking about 272 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 6: is kind of the boring little details of our respective 273 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 6: professions that might seem boring to an outsider, but it's 274 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 6: the kind of thing that people who really love the 275 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 6: process like like for this specific role. This might sound 276 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 6: weird to a lot of other people, but when we 277 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 6: get to Wimbledon and the French Open, I enjoy the 278 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 6: process of trying to track down these wacky pronunciations from 279 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 6: these tennis players from all over the world, like Bulgaria 280 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 6: and Hungary, and I have no idea, but you have 281 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 6: to be able to enj joy those kinds of boring details. 282 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 6: And we've heard athletes throughout our coverage of sports say, 283 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 6: you know, I knew it was time to retire when 284 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 6: I stopped enjoying practice, when I stopped enjoying the preparation 285 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 6: for games. I think people have said, you know, that's 286 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 6: kind of the litmus test. When part of the joy 287 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 6: of sports has been the process and that's taken away, 288 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 6: then you know it's time to move on. And the 289 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 6: second time around, I heard that for Scotti Scheffler, that's 290 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 6: something that he still enjoys, which I didn't really which 291 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 6: didn't really resonate the first time I heard it. 292 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: By the way, he is married, right, I can check 293 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: he's married. 294 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 5: He's married, he says later on it might even be 295 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 5: in the third cut that his wife is exceptionally supportive 296 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 5: and tries to celebrate the wins and thanks him for 297 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: working so hard. And you know, when I bring up 298 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 5: that people are unfulfilled who haven't shared love, I'm not 299 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 5: talking about like somebody to support you. That's a very 300 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 5: like egocentric way of looking at right, I get married, 301 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 5: have somebody to support me. If you're not in a 302 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 5: relationship where the love is equal, then that's unfulfilling, you know. 303 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: The so I think she's this part of life. She's 304 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 5: probably a great pro golfer wife is missing. 305 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 306 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't There's there's part of it where you're like, look, 307 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: a pro golfer's life and most of us are like, dude, 308 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: really private jets, great hotels. You're playing golf for a living, 309 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: but you aren't home, right and even when you're home, 310 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: you're not home. And look, I do know it's different. 311 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: You're making millions, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars. But 312 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: we can relate to the anybody who's been married, like, babe, 313 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play golf, like what And again, when 314 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: he goes and plays golf, it ain't like he's just, 315 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, gonna play quick nine. You know, like there's 316 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: a whole process to it. And when you have I 317 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: think he has a little son, like you do, you 318 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: want to be home. But the problem with that is 319 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: that all that sounds good, but a real competitor, I 320 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: just I think the second you don't have it is 321 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: the second you go like what am I doing? I 322 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: miss it. I want to be out there. It sucks 323 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: to not be home. Here's here's one. Rissillo had a 324 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: take and I think it was a long time ago 325 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: when he was over at ESPN, and it may have 326 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: been an off air take, but I think it was 327 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: on air.

So 392 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 9: I enjoy that part of it. And you know, family, 393 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 9: you think about Raleigh with his dad and his brother 394 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 9: and a lot of those connections. So for that reason 395 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 9: and those many I do appreciate it. 396 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: I bring it up just because I don't know, like 397 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: it's been going on a while. I thought having the 398 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Big Dumber when it was good, considering the first half 399 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: of the season he's had. On the other hand, it 400 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: is kind of, you know, it is kind of three 401 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: point shooting chucking contest at some point, and it does. 402 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: It can drag a little bit, can drag a little bit. 403 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, they were trying to make it a little faster 404 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 9: with the two minutes, but still kept going. 405 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, I hear you. 406 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 2: What I was going to tell you was, oh, I 407 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: know it's gonna say, okay, so help me out. Cal Raley. 408 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: Do you think he can continue at this pace in 409 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: the second half playing catcher? 410 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to do. 411 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 9: And the reason being you're losing probably twenty pounds. I 412 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 9: know Mike Piazza used to talk about how much weight 413 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 9: he would lose. I know, I lost twenty five pounds 414 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 9: in my first minor league season. It's it's tough to 415 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 9: just keep that energy. And by the way, he has 416 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 9: all these other jobs besides hitting. It's he's managing a staff, 417 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 9: he's in meetings, he's there's so much extra and at 418 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 9: a position that's so violent and you know, foul ball 419 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 9: off the mask, everything's really beating up on your body. 420 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 9: So that's that would be hard. It's not that you know, 421 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 9: he has the if he was playing first base or 422 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 9: d h I say, yeah, sure, he could keep it up. 423 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 9: I think it's just so much harder as a catcher. 424 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, still kind of remarkable. 425 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: And now he's a catcher, but doing it in Seattle, 426 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: where not a hitter's ballpark by any means. The Dodgers, 427 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: if you were running the Dodgers, obviously they're pitching staff, 428 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: you feel like is going to get healthier, but hit 429 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: a tough stretch there at the end of the first 430 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: half of the season. Any changes you would. 431 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 9: Make, Oh, I mean the problem, like many teams are facing, 432 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 9: is just can't stay healthy. And the Dodgers have been 433 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 9: really an extreme end of that spectrum with some of 434 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 9: the real key pictures. I remember the first meeting we 435 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 9: had earlier in the season when we opened with Tiger's Dodgers, 436 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 9: a question came up. David Cohen was like, hey, Dave, like, 437 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 9: how many starters do you have? Like who's He's like, 438 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 9: I know, your top five, who's your six through ten? 439 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 9: You know, And the fact is they had answers six 440 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 9: through ten that were full of all stars and very 441 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 9: capable of pictures that just weren't healthy. So you know, 442 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 9: to me, how do you deal with that? Well, you 443 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 9: do what they did last year. You you kind of 444 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 9: hope that they have enough help to get to the 445 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 9: right position, and then you go and get another arm 446 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 9: or someone to sort of pick it up. I mean, 447 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 9: like Bets and Freeman and guys that have been really 448 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 9: incredible are struggling, and you know, Bets moving from right 449 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 9: field and playing short and that's just sort of like 450 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 9: what you just talked about with Kyle Rally. It's exhausting 451 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 9: to play shortstop exhausting, and you know, he's a great athlete. 452 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 9: He's definitely getting older. That's not easy to keep up. 453 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 9: And he, you know, is he the best option there? 454 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 9: You know, not only because of defense, but because his 455 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 9: offensive productivity. If you can connect those dots, maybe maybe 456 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 9: a problem and maybe sort of hurting him. So they 457 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 9: have to figure that out. But I think they would 458 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 9: have a very different setup if the playoffs started tomorrow. 459 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 9: I think they have very different defensive alignments. Things would 460 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 9: be different because now you're just trying to win one 461 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 9: game out of time. 462 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trader. That's the 463 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: voice of Doug Lanville. Okay, if if we're not, if 464 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: we who do you think is the biggest challenger to 465 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I've asked everybody this just because you know, 466 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: there's a good group of National League teams, Cubs, Phillies, Brewers. 467 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: You know, you could kind of you go probably six 468 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: six deep or so if you had to, you had 469 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: to bet your new site Welcome to Glanville on it. 470 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: Who would be the biggest competitor of the Dodgers in 471 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs Phillies. 472 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 9: I say the Phillies, And because going into the season, 473 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 9: the thing that kept circling around is that they have 474 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 9: a really deep pitching staff, and it's just like any 475 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 9: other team if they stay healthy. You're talking about you know, 476 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 9: six starters and guys. And this is Dave Dombroski right there, 477 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 9: the front off or head of baseball operation. Dave Dombroski 478 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 9: is very aggressive at the trade deadline, very aggressive and 479 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 9: getting star power, very aggressive and getting pitchers that have 480 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 9: swing and miss and velocity and always goes out and 481 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 9: gets an extra starter just in case. So with that mentality, 482 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 9: and you know, you're hitting Schwerber, Harper, whoever, all these 483 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 9: really good bats, Trade Turner having a good year at 484 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 9: you know, this is the year where if those guys 485 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 9: are at their best and they get the arms, then 486 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 9: the Dodgers have to contend with the team that has 487 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 9: you know, three starters easily in the postseason, plus two 488 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 9: guys that can come in the bullpen and change roles. 489 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 9: That is really something that a lot of teams don't have, 490 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 9: so they can prevent runs and they can score runs. 491 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 9: So that's I'd say that's a big challenge for the Dodgers. 492 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: Yes, Doug Gottlie's show on Fox Sports Radio, speaking of 493 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: the National League, where are you and Mezrawski being in 494 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. 495 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 9: Yeah, well what I the way I think of it 496 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 9: is this way. Yeah, five games not much of a 497 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 9: body of work, obviously, So that's that's not you know. 498 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 9: I mean, I know Paul schemes and there's others that 499 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 9: didn't necessarily have like a full season. I don't put 500 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 9: a lot on the kid. It's not his fault. 501 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: You know. 502 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 9: These guys an electric arm And there's no doubt baseball 503 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 9: is trying hard to appeal to younger audiences and having 504 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 9: young talent that's on display makes a big difference because 505 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 9: they can see themselves like, oh yeah, this guy's exciting. 506 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 9: It's like Pete crow Armstrong. Kids fall he like the 507 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 9: Pied Piper. Kids follow him everywhere, and that's good for 508 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 9: the next generation of the game. So, but it does 509 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 9: not make you an All Star, you know, that's whether 510 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 9: you know, that's the question. And when you have Trey 511 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 9: Turner or guys we just mentioned Christopher Sanchez that have 512 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 9: had really good full halves or close to it, you know, 513 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 9: that's hard when you know there's so many other team 514 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 9: and players that were bonifide full time All Stars. That's 515 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 9: the question for me. I look back at my own 516 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 9: career ninety eight ninety nine had really good first halves. 517 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 9: There was sort of like a Jacob Wilson, a lot 518 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 9: of hits, not a lot of powers, full some bases 519 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 9: played defense, and I, you know, and I realized that 520 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 9: if the wind blew another direction, maybe I could have 521 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 9: gotten in those two years. And so that's how close 522 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 9: a lot of players are just by just you know, 523 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 9: playing every single game of the first half. So with Miserosky, 524 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 9: it's very hard because he just says five games. I mean, 525 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 9: that's just not a lot. He could have two bad 526 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 9: starts in a row and have a six CRA. I mean, 527 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 9: that's how fragile those numbers are. But we're in an 528 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 9: era where it's much more when you think about player advancement, 529 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 9: who gets called up, who gets drafted, who gets advanced, 530 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 9: it's a lot to do with metrics. It's not as 531 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 9: much like, oh, you hit three seventeen in the minors. 532 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 9: You look the part, you have, the data you have 533 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 9: and it sort of plays at the big league level. 534 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 9: And so it's not as much about like, oh, you 535 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 9: hit this certain number, and I think mis Roski is 536 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 9: the guy that has the arm. You're not worried about 537 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 9: his era or what it could be. You're looking at 538 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 9: a guy throwing one hundred and two miles an hour 539 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 9: and blowing major league hidders away. 540 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I hear it. 541 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, let's go, 542 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: let's go over to the American League. In your mind, 543 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: biggest question the team, biggest question heading into the second 544 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: half of the season in the American League is. 545 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: What as a whole league or by by team, by like. 546 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 2: One team, sorry. 547 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 9: That well, okay, Detroit Tigers is this is a team 548 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 9: that is just running people over and they're doing. 549 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 4: It in a way they would never have. 550 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 9: Said was going to be the way, right they because 551 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 9: we saw them opening day A J. Hinchster manager was like, 552 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 9: you know, we're kind of run for prevention. We have 553 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 9: a young team. We're going to outpitch you and my 554 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 9: thirteen guys are going to beat your nine. Like that's 555 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 9: that's how he kind of laid it out. 556 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 4: Well, they've ended up being a. 557 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 9: Better offensively, and you know Riley Green just you know 558 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 9: Baias just you know, back from the dead and you 559 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 9: have just incredible performances offensively that you have the question 560 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 9: of can they sustain it? They're going to ask that 561 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 9: question from an offensive standpoint, So do they go get 562 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 9: a big bat? So that's a big question for me, 563 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 9: because they get a big back like a O Suarez 564 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 9: or something like that. Now you're looking at a team 565 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 9: they're like, oh wait a minute, that's that puts them 566 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 9: in sort of Yankee land, right, And and the Yankees 567 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 9: still I think have tremendous you know, their their offense 568 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 9: also could use Suarez as every other team, but they 569 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 9: they have those question marks if they stay healthy and 570 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 9: they have to pitch. But they have a lot of 571 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 9: experienced bats that are productive. So I see them as 572 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 9: much more stable on that side of the equation. But 573 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 9: the Tigers just they out maneuver you. They're they're just 574 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 9: really good. So I see those two teams, as you know, 575 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 9: in the in the category of punching at each other. 576 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 9: And then do not forget the Houston Asters because they 577 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 9: flat out pitch Hunter Brown not getting a lot of 578 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 9: enough love because it's Eric Scooble who's great watch out 579 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 9: because they shut you down. It's hard to score off 580 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 9: of their bullpen. 581 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean circling back to the Tigers and struggle 582 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: they get swept by the Mariners right for the break 583 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: and uh and they get they get some they got 584 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: they got tough road swing to start the second half 585 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: of the season. Doug, tell me about the site real quick, 586 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to Glendell. 587 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's a it's a writing side. You know. 588 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 9: I came into the ESPAN and other places by writing, 589 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 9: and uh, it's hard today to kind of have a 590 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 9: consistent sort of column because there's so much noise, there's 591 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 9: so much going on, and I wanted to get back 592 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 9: to the roots of writing consistently. And the thing is, 593 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 9: I wanted to share with an audience that I'm a 594 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 9: fan too, and we're all fans in this together. I 595 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 9: still love the game, and so I wanted to create 596 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 9: a place where I'm writing stories about the game that 597 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 9: aren't just like breaking news or hot topics, but just 598 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 9: about like the deeper dives into you know, experiences.

You know, 649 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: he you know guys that are driven like that, it 650 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: can be lonely, it can feel really weird around people 651 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: that are not. And I do think that this younger 652 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: generation maybe they have a better wherewithal better understanding of things, 653 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: and they don't take things as seriously. It doesn't mean 654 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: as much to them, or maybe they're missing out on 655 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: what what how people like Tom Brady. 656 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 2: See it. 657 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: So that that's what crosses my mind when you hear 658 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: Scheffler talk about it. Right, but what's the what's the 659 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: hardest thing to do in sports? 660 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 4: Well? 661 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: I think the artist can do is win. But uh, 662 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: this is from Up and Smoke podcast. Mookie Betts was 663 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: on it and this was his response. 664 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 4: Is hitting the baseball and hardest thing sports? 665 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 2: I think it's. 666 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's by farther. 667 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 4: I think that and being a cornerback in football. 668 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sure corner like that's a different athlete. 669 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. That's the two hardest positions in sports 670 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 4: to me. I mean, two hardest things to do would 671 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 4: be a cornerback and hit a baseball. 672 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like you have a better chance. Now, 673 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 10: I'm not debating anything. You have a better chance looking 674 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 10: up in the quarterback making a bad throw or something 675 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 10: and stopping the receiver. There is no chance you're getting 676 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 10: lucky to hit a baseball. Baseball is like I do 677 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 10: it every day, and now I'll be hitting that thing. 678 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 2: It's a great point that he makes, right. 679 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: It's like here here, Mookie Bets is, Mookie Bets is 680 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: an elite, elite baseball player, right, However, you want to 681 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: rank him in the game of Major League baseball, like 682 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: he's in any conversation of the top ten players in 683 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: Major League baseball. So, by his own admission, like, Mookie Betts, 684 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: great player. But when he strides to the plate at 685 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: the Ravine on this weekend when they take on the Brewers, 686 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: and here's Mookie Betts, who we all think is outstanding, 687 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: and he hits the ball. This year he gets a 688 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: hit twenty four percent of the time, one of the 689 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: best to do it twenty four percent of the time. 690 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: He gets on base thirty one percent of the time. 691 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: And like, again, I'm sure, Jay Stu, isn't it about 692 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: time for you to motivate Mookie Bets. I think it's 693 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: that time. I mean, did it last year. You did 694 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: it last year in the playoffs. You called him out 695 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 1: and suddenly you know, the Dodgers turn around, beat the Padres, 696 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: go on win the World Series. You haven't said anything 697 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: this year, and hear Mookie Betts hitting two forty five 698 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: eleven home runs having a bit of disappointing year. 699 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 2: I see the correlation. I don't know if you see it, Ryan, 700 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 2: you see it. 701 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 4: I low. 702 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 5: I spent a lot on my bandwidth this season fixing Max, 703 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 5: so I'll probably work on that's the second half. 704 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but it reminds me of you talk 705 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: about the wins. Jase used to work with Jim Rome. 706 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: I talked about filling in for Jim Rome when when 707 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: Lebron left Cleveland to go to Miami. I was I 708 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: was hosting Roma's burning and I had Tommy Lsword on, 709 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: and there were two big takeaways from that time of 710 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: the Sword of Deal. 711 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 2: He answered the phone live on air and took the call, Hey, 712 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 2: I'm on Jim Rome. 713 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: With some guy Doug Gottlieb whatever, I'm gonna have to 714 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: call it like, you didn't have to answer the phone. 715 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: But again, Tommy and Tommy used to always say hitting 716 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: baseball's hardest thing to do in sports. He's like, are 717 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: you telling me people say golf, or you tell me 718 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: an inanimate object is harder to hit than a ninety 719 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: five mile an hour two seemer with late movement. They're 720 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: all hard, But I do that hitting a baseball is 721 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: probably the hardness. Like you have no chance, zero. 722 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 4: Zero. 723 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: Like in basketball you couldn't guard anybody. You have no 724 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: chance of guarding Lebron or Steph Curry like zero chance. 725 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: But if you caught the ball wide open, could you 726 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: throw it in the hoop? 727 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 9: Yeah? 728 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 2: You could? In baseball, I do think could you feel 729 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 2: the ball that's hit right at you? Sure? 730 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: Could you have depending one if you you've you know, 731 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: grew growing up. But hitting a baseball, you have no chance. 732 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 4: None. 733 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: Let's get to the press, the press, what's the oh, 734 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: I'll go quickly there. I sorry to pinch you on time. 735 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 6: Not a problem will summarize because everything comes from the NFL. 736 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 6: And uh, when I say everything, I mean a lot 737 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 6: of money. New York Jets cornerback Sauce guard Or agreed 738 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 6: doing four year, one hundred and twenty million dollar extension 739 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 6: with eighty five million guaranteed, highest paid corner in the league. 740 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 6: Kansas City chiefs guard Tray Smith has agreed to a 741 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 6: four year, ninety four million dollar extension with seventy million guaranteed, 742 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 6: making them the highest paid guard in NFL history. But 743 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 6: I think the most interesting thing Doug commander star receiver 744 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 6: Terry McLaurin today expressing publicly his disappointment at a lack 745 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 6: of progress with the Commanders on an extension for him. 746 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 6: He says, the two sides have not discussed a possible 747 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 6: extension in over a month, and that's surprising to me 748 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 6: considering the new commander's identity. 749 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 2: Throwing the football. 750 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 6: No, not being evil people. 751 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, look, I think you can not be 752 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: an evil person. I mean, he's he's at the end. 753 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: This is the end of his contract, right last year 754 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: of his three year, sixteen million dollars deal. You know, 755 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: the part of it is NFL players think they're say 756 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: they're free agents, but they're really not anything else. 757 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 6: That's the press. 758 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: That's Ray get out of there and pressed. That was 759 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 2: the press. 760 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: Scary Terry has no contract. Well that's also you know, 761 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: they're willing to leverage him all right back tomorrow on 762 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio,
