Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two.
Speaker 2: On this meet Friday. Well, it's a meat Friday for
Speaker 2: the dan Nets, not yours, truly. Can't even have anything
Speaker 2: to drink, they said after nine am? Nothing nothing, not
Speaker 2: even a little swig of water.
Speaker 3: Here can you do, like swish it?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. They said nothing after nine o'clock. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know how they check that, by the way,
Speaker 2: but I have surgery coming up around I think first
Speaker 2: insertion is going to be around one to fifteen.
Speaker 3: Can we set the over under on length of surgery?
Speaker 2: They say, Well, what do you guys think it's going
Speaker 2: to take to repair this surgery this shoulder.
Speaker 3: We're setting the over under at fifty five and a half?
Speaker 2: Fifty five and a half, okay. I was given a
Speaker 2: ballpark time of an hour, so it'll be four door
Speaker 2: to door or no, no, no, forty five prep get ready,
Speaker 2: say nine night, then you go under an hour and
Speaker 2: then about forty five to an hour post.
Speaker 4: I like, I think we start the clock when you're
Speaker 4: wheeled into the room. It's the operating room, so like
Speaker 4: if someone there can time it first, I can't.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 2: On your watch well when I wake up, okay, because
Speaker 2: if I don't wake up, then contest is over.
Speaker 3: Yeah the push, yeah, by the big push.
Speaker 2: By By the way. I went in and I you know,
Speaker 2: I had to meet with my doctor. You have to
Speaker 2: go over everything. And then the assistant comes in. His
Speaker 2: name is Chris. So Chris comes in and you know,
Speaker 2: he's very business like, and that's good. I'm fine. I
Speaker 2: don't need small talk. I don't need, you know, ask
Speaker 2: me about sports or anything. And at the very end
Speaker 2: where he's telling me all the things, you know, you
Speaker 2: got to take off your your wedding ring and your
Speaker 2: necklace and you got to you know, all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Who do you like in the NLCS? And I go,
Speaker 2: I said, well, I'm not rooting for the Mets. You know,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers against the Yankees would be awesome. And he goes,
Speaker 2: I'm a Mets fan, and I go, oh, okay, and
Speaker 2: then he goes, I'll be in surgery with you, and
Speaker 2: then I go, okay, all right, I mean, and then
Speaker 2: I found myself backtracking a little bit saying nice things
Speaker 2: about the Mets, and I go, oh, hey, Lindor is awesome,
Speaker 2: and you know, i'd like you know the stick touitiveness
Speaker 2: of the Mets. You know they they are where they
Speaker 2: were at the I'm scrambling, just trying to play nice
Speaker 2: with him because and he said, you said what you said?
Speaker 5: Okay, let's not try to clean it up.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to be very professional today after
Speaker 2: getting blown out last night. It's a good thing I'm
Speaker 2: having the surgery before tonight's game. Well, we wouldn't be
Speaker 2: having surgery tonight, but that'd be bad if all of
Speaker 2: a sudden I go in and the Dodgers Mets is
Speaker 2: on a monitor there. Well, they're getting ready to carve
Speaker 2: me up.
Speaker 6: Yes, Mark, if you see him wearing his Benny Byanni jersey,
Speaker 6: you're in trouble.
Speaker 3: With gloves on. He comes in with the mask.
Speaker 2: Any Chavez jersey on is for Lenny Harris. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: for Mike Piazza. Take that all righty, come on in.
Speaker 2: It's a meat Friday. Uh. Todd thought it would be funny,
Speaker 2: and it is. It is funny. See you didn't even
Speaker 2: take credit for funny. You go, well, I thought it
Speaker 2: would be maybe insensitive to have pork shoulder today, And
Speaker 2: I said, no, that's funny.
Speaker 5: I didn't want the karma associated with it.
Speaker 7: I just kind of snuck it to Tile and said,
Speaker 7: we kind have fun with that, but I didn't want
Speaker 7: it to be on me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's all I love about Todd, where he'll he'll
Speaker 8: do like this joke that's really incentsive and be like,
Speaker 8: but I come on, we can't do that. Come on, guys,
Speaker 8: we shouldn't you suggested it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was your idea. Yes, yeah, but guys, I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, we And then you wanted all of my
Speaker 2: food groups today because I can't have any food. You go,
Speaker 2: we should have pesto. In fact, extra pesto.
Speaker 5: I did mention sorry about pesto, but that'd be fun
Speaker 5: to have some pestol. Possibly.
Speaker 7: I haven't had that in a while, just randomly. It's
Speaker 7: also the same time that you can't eat.
Speaker 2: And I've given this some thought. You might be less
Speaker 2: sensitive than Paulie. Wow, Yeah, which means you might be
Speaker 2: more insensitive in some areas for sure. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like what there we go?
Speaker 2: Uh so, pork shoulder sausage, I'm not doing this on
Speaker 2: a Friday. Sausage and tordellini soup, cheesy garlic bread. Who
Speaker 2: has it better than you?
Speaker 5: Do no.
Speaker 2: Stat of the day, brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. Carl Ravage from
Speaker 2: the mother Ship. He was on the call with the
Speaker 2: Cleveland Guardians and the Yankees in dramatic fashion. The Guardians
Speaker 2: stay alive now they're up. They're down two to one.
Speaker 2: But if you go down three to zero, uh well
Speaker 2: just ask the Mets. They're down three to one. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers rolled the Mets. Mook bets the Big Star four
Speaker 2: for six with four RBIs. So we'll talk to Ravi
Speaker 2: about that. Coming up Dodgers Mets today later on today
Speaker 2: and then Yankees Guardians coming up tonight. The oh, by
Speaker 2: the way, Thursday night game, the Broncos rolled the Saints
Speaker 2: thirty three to ten, eight seven, seven to three. DP
Speaker 2: show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP
Speaker 2: show poll question for the hour. Two will be by
Speaker 2: the way. Good morning watching on Peacock. Thank you and
Speaker 2: our radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, our one we had up there. I'm rooting
Speaker 2: for the Guardians or the Yankees. That's at a seventy
Speaker 2: two percent Guardian clip right there. All right, We insensitively
Speaker 2: put up there will Dan be at work on Monday?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 9: Or no?
Speaker 2: Right now? That is about fifty to fifty. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: That is a fifty to fifty Are you kidding me that.
Speaker 3: You will be here on Monday?
Speaker 2: I purposely had surgery on Friday afternoon to be able
Speaker 2: to be here on Monday. I don't know.
Speaker 8: Is this that you're taking this as a question about
Speaker 8: your toughness?
Speaker 2: Yes, which I don't know.
Speaker 8: Maybe you people can read into what it means. Maybe
Speaker 8: the surgeon does a bad job.
Speaker 2: I've come in after surgery. I've come in, you know.
Speaker 2: I when I had a sports herney in a colonoscopy
Speaker 2: back to back two for you I did. That might
Speaker 2: have been the I might have been the first person
Speaker 2: who's ever had a sports herney a colonoscopy in the
Speaker 2: same day.
Speaker 3: They just put you out of rotating thing.
Speaker 2: It was on a spit all right, flip them what Todd.
Speaker 7: Marvion had like dental surgery and came back like an
Speaker 7: hour later. I think what you're talking about is like
Speaker 7: where you going to come back the next day? We
Speaker 7: have several hours in overnight and all that to heal up.
Speaker 7: That was pretty impressive.
Speaker 5: He left like a nine thirty and came back by eleven.
Speaker 2: It was impressive. I didn't know. It's a competition, not
Speaker 2: a competition, but it feels like it, like you're saying, oh,
Speaker 2: I get all weekend long after having shoulder surgery.
Speaker 5: You said that, but that was impressive.
Speaker 7: When Prince came back, he set a whole new bar
Speaker 7: that you gonna have a surgical procedure or whatever you want.
Speaker 5: To come and it was impressive.
Speaker 2: Tod we celebrated that. I said, he's in the lead
Speaker 2: for you know, Dan out of the year.
Speaker 5: Not just the same day.
Speaker 7: Came back in time to be on the air, to
Speaker 7: still be part of the show before it went off
Speaker 7: the air. It didn't come back like later in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: This feels like dental surgery, which that's kind of I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: Can I get some anesthesia to put me under right now?
Speaker 5: We can't call it the Big Sleep. I learned you
Speaker 5: called it.
Speaker 2: You called it the Big Sleep. You mocked me with
Speaker 2: pork shoulder, and then you talked about the Big.
Speaker 5: Sleep, which I did not know meant that you're gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you you do know, and we still brought
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 5: I apologized, I in sensitively brought.
Speaker 2: That up and thought, hey, yeah, either either take credit
Speaker 2: for it or don't you know you kind of do
Speaker 2: that passive aggressive. Hey, I'm just gonna say, hey, pork.
Speaker 5: Show to know the Big Sleep meant that you died?
Speaker 4: Yes, Just to put a bow on this, There is
Speaker 4: a famous book by Raymond Chandler in nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 4: The novel is called The Big Sleep, and the phrase
Speaker 4: he that says, there you were sleeping the Big Sleep,
Speaker 4: you were not bothered like any hinting towards that person
Speaker 4: had died, and it became part of pop culture to
Speaker 4: use the Big Sleep.
Speaker 2: Okay, Eric in California, Good morning, Eric, what's on your mind?
Speaker 10: Good morning, Good morning, long first time, long time. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I heard you guys talking about people who had died.
Speaker 10: You had three people, Well add number four to the
Speaker 10: list here you died.
Speaker 2: And came back to life. What did you die from?
Speaker 10: Stoping drinking? Actually, I had a seizure in the shower
Speaker 10: and basically died. Fortunately, my now brother in law and
Speaker 10: father in law were there, pulled me out and did
Speaker 10: some CPR, and paramedics were luckily right down the street
Speaker 10: at the school doing a practice run type thing, and
Speaker 10: we got me going and was in the hospital for
Speaker 10: about a week, which I don't remember and don't drink anymore,
Speaker 10: but I'm still here to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Did you see anything on the other side.
Speaker 5: Eric, I did not.
Speaker 10: It was completely black. Don't remember anything at all.
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, we're glad to have you back.
Speaker 9: Eric.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's a real leaving Las Vegas situation right there. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Nicholas Cage. So when people say there's nothing there, is
Speaker 8: it like you're in the shower and you're like, oh crap,
Speaker 8: I think I'm dying, and then you wake up in
Speaker 8: the hospital. Is it like a split second later or
Speaker 8: is there just like moments of black and then you
Speaker 8: wake up.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We lost Eric again.
Speaker 2: Yes, he'll come back.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's going to do that.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: I have a theory here.
Speaker 4: Everyone we talked to who died for a matter of
Speaker 4: minutes then came back to life, they didn't see anything. Maybe,
Speaker 4: like catching a football, you have to complete the pri
Speaker 4: process and actually die, like you know, be tagged and bagged,
Speaker 4: you're in the ground, and then like okay, now you
Speaker 4: can move on because they don't want to like bring
Speaker 4: you up there and they have to send you back
Speaker 4: like that movie years ago with Warren Baby.
Speaker 3: I think you have to complete the process. I'm looking
Speaker 3: on the hopeful side.
Speaker 4: Mm because you die in a shower and then three
Speaker 4: dudes down the street bring you back.
Speaker 3: You haven't You're not you didn't die.
Speaker 2: Okay, So well, how long is complete You have to
Speaker 2: be in the ground to complete the process?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's much more rare than you're coming back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then that'd be tough if you know they
Speaker 2: end up just kind of burning me up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's eternity. You might not go right to the
Speaker 3: place you're going in the first three minutes. It's like
Speaker 3: a pregame show exactly, which feels like eternity.
Speaker 7: And side I does not remembering mean there's nothing on
Speaker 7: the other side? I don't if you wake up like
Speaker 7: seat what side? Why does that mean there's nothing just
Speaker 7: because you don't remember.
Speaker 2: I feel like if you saw something on the other side,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't forget it.
Speaker 7: Some people said that they saw their kids graduation or
Speaker 7: holding an infant, or like certain moments in their lives,
Speaker 7: their wedding. There are people that have said that too,
Speaker 7: So are they misremembering what.
Speaker 3: They I have no idea.
Speaker 5: I have no idea. It's just life flashing before your eyes.
Speaker 2: Could be, could be, Maybe it's just a just a
Speaker 2: bright light there calling. No, we're not gonna do al
Speaker 2: Pacino today. You're not gonna do that. So Cleveland, Homer's
Speaker 2: in the tent beats the Yankees. Rabbi was on the
Speaker 2: call for the Mothership. We'll talk to Carl coming up,
Speaker 2: Dodgers over the Mets, and you got baseball coming up
Speaker 2: later on today and tonight. Also college football. Man, there's
Speaker 2: some there's some sneaky good stuff here. Bama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas,
Speaker 2: then Miami and Louisville, Nebraska and Indiana is interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, Georgia, Tech, Michigan, Illinois. They're like sneaky games,
Speaker 2: you know, dwarfed by Texas and Georgia can Georgia. Let's
Speaker 2: say Georgia has another defeat. Let's say Texas, who's favored,
Speaker 2: wins this game. Georgia with two losses, still feels like
Speaker 2: they could be in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, George's got like a five year run of house
Speaker 4: money that if they lose again.
Speaker 2: Okay, could they lose three times?
Speaker 4: I think you're getting a little late in the season
Speaker 4: for three losses because if Georgia would have man, I
Speaker 4: don't want to say never, because if it's close and
Speaker 4: it's between like Georgia and Kansas State for the last spot,
Speaker 4: I worry about a Kansas State just thrown out a team.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Zach in South Carolina, Good morning, Zach. What's on your mind?
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning Dan, Good morning boys. Six foot to
Speaker 11: twenty first time long term And something came to me
Speaker 11: when I was watching baseball last night. You know, if
Speaker 11: Major League Baseball gets what they want and the Dodgers
Speaker 11: and the Yankees end up going against each other, would
Speaker 11: there be any kind of advantage you think for the Dodgers,
Speaker 11: you know, kind of facing the Mets in the Championship series,
Speaker 11: that rhythm of travel.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great point. Yeah, Uh, dealing with
Speaker 2: that environment too. You know, there are very few environments
Speaker 2: that are like New York fans. Although the Mets fans
Speaker 2: haven't been very active because they're usually behind getting blown
Speaker 2: out here all of these games. You know, the winning
Speaker 2: teams scoring a lot of runs here, but you have
Speaker 2: a five h eight start time. I don't know if
Speaker 2: shadows effect at City Field. But five o'clock and then
Speaker 2: the Yankees in Cleveland. That'll be uh just after eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: Let me see Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning, Buddha.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
Speaker 12: Noboddy Ppete watching and listening to the first hour of
Speaker 12: the show, I just got to say, Fritzy is solid
Speaker 12: and improving.
Speaker 2: Okay, But Dare, what.
Speaker 13: A turn of events from Monday's game at Chavis Ravine.
Speaker 13: I'm in the stands watching the Mets hit a grand
Speaker 13: slam and against our bullpen, outing and taking all the
Speaker 13: energy out of the stadium. But I agree with you DP,
Speaker 13: wing tonight's game, the decisive one is going to be tough,
Speaker 13: But I mean, I just think we got to do
Speaker 13: it tonight. It would be sweet. No need to go
Speaker 13: back to LA just get it done. And also, Dan,
Speaker 13: I was thinking about your comments this week regarding Dalton
Speaker 13: Konnec last night. I mean, he's showing he might be
Speaker 13: the steal of the draft this year with thirty five
Speaker 13: points showing out against the Suns last night. He definitely
Speaker 13: to your point, he's going to contribute this year. That
Speaker 13: was fun to watch and good luck to you later.
Speaker 11: DP.
Speaker 13: Remember no bungloads, hashtag warrior athlete.
Speaker 2: Thank you Buda. Dalton Connect is not afraid of shooting.
Speaker 2: He's gonna get his shots. But you know, once again,
Speaker 2: he might be the best deep shooter on the team.
Speaker 2: He had eight threes last. You got to have that
Speaker 2: perimeter guy. They've been looking for that perimeter guy and
Speaker 2: kind of felt for such a long period of time
Speaker 2: they were going to go, oh, you gotta go out
Speaker 2: and get Buddy healed. You know, Okay, you have Dalton
Speaker 2: Connect and working him in the rotation. But you know,
Speaker 2: here's the issue. Sometimes it's great to play with Lebron,
Speaker 2: but it can be intimidating playing with Lebron because you
Speaker 2: might defer to him when you normally wouldn't. The bulls
Speaker 2: would talk about that Judd Bushlard, Steve Kerr. They would
Speaker 2: be like, you almost felt guilty taking shots sometimes because
Speaker 2: you knew Mike was there, and Mike with a tough
Speaker 2: shot is probably a better shot than you with an
Speaker 2: open look. So you psychologically you start to think that
Speaker 2: way of can I can I take over a little
Speaker 2: bit here? Can I get up a couple shots in
Speaker 2: a row? That rhythm that you want any any shooter,
Speaker 2: get that rhythm, and I think that would be what
Speaker 2: would be interest for me with Dalton connect. Can he
Speaker 2: get to the point where he doesn't have to kind
Speaker 2: of have the acknowledgment from Lebron and you know, it's
Speaker 2: almost a passing of the batons sometimes when you have
Speaker 2: when you're playing with somebody great, a legend that all
Speaker 2: of a sudden you come in and it might be
Speaker 2: your time. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rick Fox hit a big shot. Maybe he was
Speaker 6: in the playoffs and Kobe was to the left of him.
Speaker 6: You could see Kobe clap his hands in almost like
Speaker 6: yellow curse word because he's shooting the ball. I'm sure
Speaker 6: Rick Fox is so happy he made that shot because
Speaker 6: Kobe was kind of open. I mean he just looked
Speaker 6: at him. He clapped his hands like give me that
Speaker 6: bleeping ball. Yes, yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I'm sure that happens to all those guys. The
Speaker 6: shot calls him. The others just guys that come in
Speaker 6: and they're supposed to be, you know, wide open jump shooters.
Speaker 2: Yes, because if you missed a shot. Steve Kerr told
Speaker 2: me this, Michael wasn't going back to you or he'd
Speaker 2: give you the look so well, how that's your teammate
Speaker 2: who's doing that to you? And you're like, uh, here, Mike,
Speaker 2: let me pass it to you. Let me take a break.
Speaker 2: More phone calls coming up. We'll talk to Carl Ravich,
Speaker 2: who was on the call last night with the Guardians
Speaker 2: and the Yankees, and in dramatic fashion, the Guardians stay alive.
Speaker 2: There We're back after this.

Speaker 15: We are tied. Oh my goodness, Christmas to us come early.
Speaker 2: John Kensie no Hell hit.
Speaker 15: One four hundred and four feet on a change up
Speaker 15: and it is five five, the biggest pinch hit home
Speaker 15: run of his life. Nailer down there at third, That
Speaker 15: ball is stoked, left field, bat down gay the over
Speaker 15: run again.
Speaker 14: David Fry does it and the Guardians, in a shocking, shocking.
Speaker 15: Display of power, rally against the Yankees and they win
Speaker 15: it seven to five.
Speaker 2: Carl ravs with the call. ESPN Radio, the exclusive home
Speaker 2: for Major League Baseball, postseason, he'll be on the call
Speaker 2: for the ALCS Eduardo Prez Tim Kirchen coming up later
Speaker 2: on tonight. Ravi joins us, Now, how's the voice?
Speaker 14: Yeah, voice is good. I mean, you know, i'd be honest.
Speaker 14: I want to hear given the respect I have for you, like,
Speaker 14: what did you think of the calls? And one thing
Speaker 14: I heard from a long time engineer was I think
Speaker 14: he heard Eduardo and Tim scream right away. And it's
Speaker 14: a long time engineer. He's like, yeah, no, I know,
Speaker 14: I don't need that. And our producer, who's younger Dan
Speaker 14: love that enthusiasm. He's like, no, I was good with it.
Speaker 14: So I'm going to defer to you. What did you think.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm old school where I don't like the analyst
Speaker 2: jumping in.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 2: I'd like to still get the call. But we've found
Speaker 2: that you have a lot of these analysts, certainly locally Ravi,
Speaker 2: that they jump in during the call like a football,
Speaker 2: you know, guys doing eighty yards and like go, go go.
Speaker 2: You know, so it's hard for you to do your
Speaker 2: job when you do. I love the enthusiasm, but it's
Speaker 2: I think it makes it harder for you to you
Speaker 2: still have to say what is happening. They're just reacting
Speaker 2: to what happened.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you're almost so used to when an analyst talks,
Speaker 14: you lay out you kind of okay, well he's got
Speaker 14: something to say. But I'm in the middle of a
Speaker 14: call and they're kind of yelling and screaming. So yeah,
Speaker 14: it's one of those where you as you know, when
Speaker 14: you sit there as a host of a show when
Speaker 14: they talk. You know, I'm a deferential guy, like, Okay,
Speaker 14: they've got to be important, so I'm gonna go ahead.
Speaker 14: You know, whether it's a you know, Peter Gamman's Harrow Reynolds,
Speaker 14: John Krook or Eddie Perezertim Jimmy Dykes, that's your your job.
Speaker 14: But that was interesting. But I was just curious that
Speaker 14: it was a wild game. I mean, you you've certainly
Speaker 14: seen a billion wild games. That was that was way
Speaker 14: way up there as far as bizarre set of circumstances,
Speaker 14: things turning okay.
Speaker 2: But when you saw back to back with you know,
Speaker 2: Judge and Stanton, Yeah, your thoughts of where that game
Speaker 2: was headed, Yeah.
Speaker 14: Of course, no. I look, one of the things we
Speaker 14: pointed out before they're at bats was the fact that
Speaker 14: there's a nineteen foot wall and left, and there's a
Speaker 14: nine foot wall in right. And given their you know,
Speaker 14: home field of Yankee Stadium, that they know what a
Speaker 14: what a short porch let alone a short wall does.
Speaker 14: And Eduardo had brought up the point that the pitcher
Speaker 14: tends to and should keep the ball down, but in
Speaker 14: Judge's case of a down ball away like a golf ball,
Speaker 14: he could drive it right out, which is exactly what happened.
Speaker 14: And sure after Stanton hit the homer, given the bullpen
Speaker 14: that the Yankees have had, I thought the Yankees were ahead,
Speaker 14: freeze up and it was going to be a morgue
Speaker 14: there tonight.
Speaker 2: The sound the ball leaving the bat as a play
Speaker 2: by play guy, yeah, how much does that help you
Speaker 2: in being a little bit more ahead of what I mean?
Speaker 2: These were no doubters. Noel's was a no doubter, no
Speaker 2: doubt exactly. I mean, Fry's was hit, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: like Noel's. So just that sound. Are you trained to
Speaker 2: hear that sound? And you go, that's different.
Speaker 14: A little bit. And I would say that Noel's even
Speaker 14: relative to the games that I've done, where Judge or
Speaker 14: Stanton have homered. The sound was actually different off Noel's bat,
Speaker 14: and it may have also been the trajectory of it.
Speaker 14: There was no question that his ball was a homer.
Speaker 14: Obviously in judges. In Stanton's case there were more line drives.
Speaker 14: But I've seen shots off of their bats where it's
Speaker 14: not necessarily I don't think that the sound is what's
Speaker 14: occurring to me. It is more about the sort of
Speaker 14: trajectory as as it flies off their bat. You can
Speaker 14: tell that those you know, those animals who were so big,
Speaker 14: they got it and it's going to go. But Noel's
Speaker 14: was was unique. It was different, It sounded different.
Speaker 2: I maintained that I don't think any ball comes off
Speaker 2: a bat differently than it does for sho heeo Tani. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's just a sound to that. It's I don't even
Speaker 2: have to watch, I just hear and I go, oh, gone,
Speaker 2: I mean, no doubters.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I missed that, gone, I missed that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 14: You know the thing that the two things that I
Speaker 14: took away from last night is familiarity is a problem.
Speaker 14: You're starting to see these same bullpen guys now night
Speaker 14: in and night out. And the shine I'm not saying
Speaker 14: it's off of a Weaver or a Holmes. You know,
Speaker 14: class A hasn't really been a factor in the series
Speaker 14: until last night, and it is so bizarre that he's
Speaker 14: now giving up more runs in the postseason than he
Speaker 14: did in the entire season. Makes no sense at all.
Speaker 14: But my goodness. You know, these guys are huge. You
Speaker 14: know the guys that hit balls last night that you
Speaker 14: knew were just missiles. Stanton is a football player, Judge
Speaker 14: is an absolute linebacker tight end, and Noel is massive. So,
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, my hands are tiny. I mean
Speaker 14: I have the smallest hands on the planet, and I
Speaker 14: put them up to Noel's hand. I did not come
Speaker 14: up to the middle knuckle. That's how big that guy is.
Speaker 14: He is massive, and when he gets a hold of one,
Speaker 14: it goes. So it was the size, it was the power,
Speaker 14: it was home runs. It was the three true outcomes
Speaker 14: that we saw last night, But it happened so quickly.
Speaker 2: Talking to Carl Ravitch, he was on the call last
Speaker 2: night with the Yankees and the Guardians, that tricky, tricky
Speaker 2: word momentum can't carry these things over with you, But
Speaker 2: we've seen where that feeling can be carried over. Yeah,
Speaker 2: any sense of what to expect tonight.
Speaker 14: No, you know, I think that's been the beauty of
Speaker 14: this postseason. In a lot of ways. The end of
Speaker 14: the baseball season, there was some unpredictability. Teams you know,
Speaker 14: had bumpy stretches. Other teams got hot, some checked out,
Speaker 14: individuals shined. No, I don't because you know, you get
Speaker 14: into this series now and you know, for when we
Speaker 14: were working together at ESPN, here are a couple of
Speaker 14: names for you. So Gavin Williams is going to start
Speaker 14: for the Guardians. Gavin Williams made seven starts at home
Speaker 14: this year. He lost all of them. Like the last
Speaker 14: guy to do that was in nineteen ninety three. You
Speaker 14: remember Anthony Young Chase Stadium, seven starts, lost them all,
Speaker 14: So you know, certainly you'd think going into this thing DP,
Speaker 14: that's not a good omen. He also gets no run support.
Speaker 14: But he's going up against a rookie in Luis Heel
Speaker 14: and the last Yankee rookie to win a postseason start
Speaker 14: was a guy named El Duque in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 14: So no, I think you get into this part of
Speaker 14: the staffs, the starters, the bullpens have been used. We
Speaker 14: had fifth we only had fifteen pitchers last night. Maybe
Speaker 14: we can go up a little bit in this game.
Speaker 14: So no, I don't look at it that way. I
Speaker 14: do think that part of what you leave with last
Speaker 14: night is hmm, okay, Well Weaver had been literally invincible.
Speaker 14: I mean, his story is crazy. And Steven Vote, the
Speaker 14: manager of the Guardians, was a teammate, was a bullpen
Speaker 14: catcher forim. He coached him and he looked out at
Speaker 14: Luke Weaver prior to last night and said, I don't
Speaker 14: even know who that guy is, Like, I don't recognize him.
Speaker 14: This is not the guy that I was catching with
Speaker 14: or a team, no idea who he is. But last night,
Speaker 14: you know, he left a couple of pitches over the
Speaker 14: plate and he paid for it.
Speaker 2: It used to be starting pitching that we talked about
Speaker 2: starting pitching the time of the year, and I miss that.
Speaker 2: And without sounding like they get off my line, guy,
Speaker 2: but how do we get back to where the starting
Speaker 2: pitcher does have a presence, does impact a series?
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a great question, you know, And again I
Speaker 14: think even over the years while we focused on starting pitching,
Speaker 14: there were really and I'm excluding the Braves of the
Speaker 14: nineties when they had such great depth. But for the
Speaker 14: most part, these teams, you remember one or two guys
Speaker 14: from a staff. You remember Madison Bumgarner, you know, you
Speaker 14: remember Garrett Cole here. So they go out and mad
Speaker 14: Carlos redn and hope it happens. But we have absolutely
Speaker 14: minimized the requirements that are made on starting pitchers. Matthew
Speaker 14: Boyd gave them five innings last night. That was the
Speaker 14: first guy for the Guardians in the postseason to actually
Speaker 14: throw five innings. And yet if you look at their formula,
Speaker 14: if Steven Vote were to present you a formula, just
Speaker 14: get me five innings any perfect world. And we saw
Speaker 14: him go early to the bullpen the other game and
Speaker 14: it probably backfired. Five innings sets us up for the
Speaker 14: rest of the guys to come in and we're going
Speaker 14: to be fine until that changes. And it starts at
Speaker 14: the youth level. You know, I see the little leaguers
Speaker 14: all the time. It's bizarre. I don't want to go
Speaker 14: too deep into the sort of pull the curtain back.
Speaker 14: But when you worked at ESPN, there was a producer
Speaker 14: named Sean Fitzgerald. He's out here working now. He's got
Speaker 14: a son that's fourteen years old who just had surgery
Speaker 14: on his elbow. So all of this stuff, and this,
Speaker 14: according to Shaw, wasn't because he overthrew. They were very careful.
Speaker 14: But you're still putting a tremendous amount of demands on
Speaker 14: young kid's arms, and as a result, they get hurt
Speaker 14: and then we slowly begin to wean them off of
Speaker 14: one hundred pitch outings or throwing like the Braves did
Speaker 14: in the nineties. On your off day and you throw
Speaker 14: a lot. There's obviously efforts by Major League Baseball to
Speaker 14: put an emphasis back on starting pitching, but that's one
Speaker 14: of those things, you know, like bunting and going the
Speaker 14: other way and advancing a runner. You've got to start
Speaker 14: that at an early age. Otherwise we're all going, you know,
Speaker 14: John Kenzie Noel and flipping bats and hitting omers.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was on my soapbox the other day. I said,
Speaker 2: I'll give you anybody in baseball who's throwing a hundred,
Speaker 2: and I'll take Greg Maddox right, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: beat you because there still is location, location, location and movement.
Speaker 2: And if you have that, they'll catch up to one hundred.
Speaker 2: They will Hitters will say I can hit a hundred
Speaker 2: we're fascinated by it. But if you talk to those
Speaker 2: old school guys, they're like, God, Maddix drove me crazy
Speaker 2: because you know him and Glavin, you know, guys who
Speaker 2: were pitchers, And yeah, yes, exactly. I don't know if
Speaker 2: how we get back to that other than we finally
Speaker 2: realize we're just sending these kids into having surgery. Like
Speaker 2: it's now, it's like, I don't know, you're you're you're honored.
Speaker 2: Oh you had Tommy John. You came back, all right,
Speaker 2: you must have been throwing pretty hard now yeah.
Speaker 14: No, it's it's like you're going into an interview and
Speaker 14: your resume as a picture is, can throw a hundred,
Speaker 14: has this rapid spin rate, a stands six foot four,
Speaker 14: have great extension? Had Tommy John? Surgery? Check checks you?
Speaker 14: Oh good, so you're good for another few years. Yeah,
Speaker 14: you're right about that.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 14: I think. I think then the the issue that is
Speaker 14: one of the issues is that what made Maddox so
Speaker 14: special and Glavin clearly was their consistency and their longevity.
Speaker 14: And part of that was because and you know Maddis,
Speaker 14: you know, he threw hard early on, and then he
Speaker 14: became quote unquote a picture now there's a formula where
Speaker 14: you want to create a picture, But in creating a picture,
Speaker 14: you're teaching velocity, and you're teaching this emphasis on spin rate.
Speaker 14: A great example of a guy who has come so
Speaker 14: far but you wonder about the longevity because of how
Speaker 14: hard they throw and this incredible spin rate is the
Speaker 14: guy who was traded from the Yankees to the Padres.
Speaker 14: His name is Michael King. And when he's on the
Speaker 14: mount and he's right, the stuff he's throwing is unhittable,
Speaker 14: like you cannot hit it, and it moves everywhere. It's
Speaker 14: not one hundred, it can be ninety four, it can
Speaker 14: be ninety two. It sweeps, it spins, it dives, its darts.
Speaker 14: But because of the emphasis on spin, while we may
Speaker 14: have pulled back on the velocity a little bit, it's
Speaker 14: still a huge pressure point on your elbow and your shoulder.
Speaker 14: So I'm not sure that even by creating pictures, where
Speaker 14: in any way going to minimize the impact on picture's elbows.
Speaker 2: We saw with Yamamoto last night, I mean, you want
Speaker 2: to talk about movement and filth like it was, it
Speaker 2: was it was crazy, some of the movement that he had.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was fun to watch something like that
Speaker 2: instead of you know, ninety seven, ninety eight. This had
Speaker 2: movement on it, and I'm fascinated. I loved it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, and that's what That's what King does. And
Speaker 14: I will say that, you know what makes Weaver so special.
Speaker 14: He's not one hundred mile an hour guy. I mean,
Speaker 14: he's a fastball, change up guy. So you know you
Speaker 14: need too, you need three pitches, but you certainly need
Speaker 14: two pitches and they both ideally come out of the
Speaker 14: same slot and they move differently. But he's not blowing
Speaker 14: guys away. Class A is that guy. Class A will
Speaker 14: come in and throw gas and as you saw last night,
Speaker 14: it can be turned around.
Speaker 2: He's Carl Ravich.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 2: I asked this to Chris Collinsworth and I said, do
Speaker 2: you root for the previous week of what that will
Speaker 2: mean for Sunday Night football? And he said, yes, any
Speaker 2: part of you rooting for Yankees Dodgers because of maybe
Speaker 2: what that would mean nationally.
Speaker 14: Personally? No, I'm not vested in that. I think as
Speaker 14: a fan of baseball, it would be a great theater
Speaker 14: because of the individuals involved. But I think the difference
Speaker 14: between Chris and my answer is he's going to do
Speaker 14: the game next Sunday. I'm not going to go call
Speaker 14: the World Series. So if I were to call the
Speaker 14: World Series, I'd have a different answer. I'd say, sure,
Speaker 14: I want to see show A, I want to see Judge,
Speaker 14: I want the Superstars there. I think it's going to
Speaker 14: attract more eyeballs. But if you know, my answer is
Speaker 14: I'm not vested in it. What I think I am
Speaker 14: vested in is having this series, you know, go seven
Speaker 14: games be exciting. I was very worried when the Yankees
Speaker 14: hit those Homers that this series is now you know,
Speaker 14: likely to die on the vine, and how hard it
Speaker 14: is to come back from three to zero. So you know,
Speaker 14: as you know, in this in this industry, in these
Speaker 14: seats get we get hammered because we root for certain
Speaker 14: teams that couldn't be personally further from the truth. We
Speaker 14: root for the game, we root for the story. We
Speaker 14: want close competitive games. It's stinks trying to fill when
Speaker 14: it's nine to one after two winnings and it ain't
Speaker 14: much fun. We like the close games and we just
Speaker 14: do not care who wins.
Speaker 2: I don't great job, my best, Timmy and Eduardo, thanks
Speaker 2: for joining us, Rabbi.
Speaker 14: My pleasure, my friend.
Speaker 2: Thanks man, that's Carl Raviitch. She'll be on the call
Speaker 2: later on tonight and the exclusive that's the exclusive home
Speaker 2: of a Major League Baseball postseason heard on the ESPN
Speaker 2: app series XM channel eighty one and eighty as well.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take great phone calls coming up after.
Speaker 1: This, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern, six am
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. In the iHeartRadio wap.
Speaker 2: Well, I mentioned when Aiden Hutchinson went down, I would
Speaker 2: place a call. If I'm the Lions to the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 2: I would just kick the tires on Miles Garrett. Now
Speaker 2: they might go click. Or I would call the Raiders
Speaker 2: and ask about Max Crosby because Davante Adams we thought
Speaker 2: was going to be traded. Now you're in a rebuild. Well,
Speaker 2: Max Crosby was asked about maybe playing elsewhere. I'm not
Speaker 2: here to rebuild.
Speaker 12: I'm here to win, so you know, I don't know
Speaker 12: whatever that means, but yeah, I'm here to win now,
Speaker 12: and wherever I'm gonna be, I'm I'm gonna be here
Speaker 12: to win. So that's all I'm matters.
Speaker 2: To me, well, I wouldn't stay in Vegas. Then if
Speaker 2: I were you, I'd be leaving Las Vegas. I would
Speaker 2: do what Davante Adams did, just say, I'd like to
Speaker 2: play for a team that's going to compete. Can I
Speaker 2: do that? Can I help you get some draft picks?
Speaker 2: Can I help you rebuild? Can I help you get
Speaker 2: your quarterback? Can I help you with Tom Brady now
Speaker 2: taking over as a minority owner. I will do that.
Speaker 2: I want to win. If we're not going to be
Speaker 2: able to win, then I'd like to play elsewhere. That's
Speaker 2: what I would do, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 4: It seems like to be a line to get Max Crosby.
Speaker 4: He's twenty seven, he's averaging a sack of game the
Speaker 4: past three years. He's I think he led the league
Speaker 4: in pressures last year or second, which is to me,
Speaker 4: the ultimate stat The price is there's no risk with him.
Speaker 4: There's zero risk with the price is the price you
Speaker 4: draft a guy first next year in the drafts, there's
Speaker 4: a risk to it.
Speaker 3: He's no risk.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're the Lions, you're going to have a
Speaker 2: pick that's later in the first round, right, you're not
Speaker 2: giving up a top five pick. You're not doing, you know,
Speaker 2: stupid stuff like Carolina did. And you know, if you're
Speaker 2: the Raiders, you could get maybe too first rounds, maybe
Speaker 2: at first and a second round pick. Now you still
Speaker 2: have to pay Max Crosby.
Speaker 11: But.
Speaker 2: He'd be he'd be up there. I don't know who
Speaker 2: else is going to be trading anything. I talked to
Speaker 2: somebody yesterday who said, keep an eye on the Saints
Speaker 2: with Alvin Kamara. Would they be willing to move Alvin Kamara?
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, all right, I don't know
Speaker 2: what you get from Alvin Kamara. Might be a third
Speaker 2: round pick. Also, you're paying in fifteen million dollars a year,
Speaker 2: which is an awful lot for your running back. Gary
Speaker 2: in Indiana, not to be confused with Gary Indiana.
Speaker 9: Good morning, Dan, let me first and foremost say thoughts
Speaker 9: and prayers with Seaton O'Connor. Man's going caffeine free this
Speaker 9: morning before his employment. Hang in there, camera, Thank.
Speaker 14: You, thank you.
Speaker 9: If I can, Dan, I'm a I'm a I'm a
Speaker 9: fan of Russell Wilson Junior the third and a little
Speaker 9: concerned because I don't think that the Steelers are in
Speaker 9: a bad position right now still running with fields. My
Speaker 9: thoughts are if if Russell struggles and doesn't succeed, you know,
Speaker 9: he'll go back to the bench. And the only way
Speaker 9: he'll get back out on the field is something happens
Speaker 9: to the starter. And then also then what other team
Speaker 9: will want to pick him up, you know next year
Speaker 9: or the year after that. So it's like he's really
Speaker 9: got to perform of course when he gets out there,
Speaker 9: and uh, I think his back's against the wall because
Speaker 9: I don't know if that'd be a good decision, and
Speaker 9: if it may make one suggestion, once you get through
Speaker 9: the surgery, if you need assistance. I don't see why
Speaker 9: Fritzy can't come over and feed you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 8: As long as we get some video of that happening.
Speaker 2: No, that's not his grubby, grimy pawse feed me food,
Speaker 2: No way.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't use my fingers. I would use a utensil
Speaker 5: of some story.
Speaker 3: Utensil, grubby, milky soft hands.
Speaker 2: Yes they're moist, you have moist hands.
Speaker 5: There comes.
Speaker 2: Open and I'd have Marvin do it. But I need
Speaker 2: more food than that than what he can put this.
Speaker 5: Why would you do that? Mea ravage?
Speaker 2: Who's got smaller hands once. You know what, I wanted
Speaker 2: to see if there was a way you could put
Speaker 2: your hands up to the screen and then Ravi would
Speaker 2: put his up there. I don't know, maybe we could
Speaker 2: have a hands off okay between you and Ravi. But yeah,
Speaker 2: thoughts and prayers with seat. And he's gone without caffeine
Speaker 2: all morning long and really incredible, really incredible. Not all morning.
Speaker 8: It's only four hours so I was able to have
Speaker 8: coffee earlier this morning. Oh you were Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: I have a four hour window that I can have coffee.
Speaker 8: But I appreciate someone finally recognizing that it's not just
Speaker 8: you going through something today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm only going into surgery. Haven't had
Speaker 2: anything to eat or drink this morning? Yeah, but hey,
Speaker 2: look I understand it what you're going through. That is
Speaker 2: really tough. That's really tough. And there are certain foods
Speaker 2: like I should have had Tyler pick something for meat
Speaker 2: Friday that didn't smell so damn good or I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's because I haven't any had anything to
Speaker 2: eat that anything smells good, but that soup, that uh,
Speaker 2: sausage tortellini. I've been out there stirring it so I
Speaker 2: know I can't have it. You're teasing, I know, but
Speaker 2: that's that's what I would do. I would. I would.
Speaker 3: It's like going to a strip club.
Speaker 2: If I was trying to quit alcohol, I would work
Speaker 2: at a bar just because that, like, I'd make it
Speaker 2: even tougher. Be like, all right there, that'll make it
Speaker 2: tougher but better. Yeah. See, it's true.
Speaker 8: If you were around really drunk people every night, you'd
Speaker 8: probably be like, man, I really don't want.
Speaker 2: I don't want that, yes, yes, but yeah, you just
Speaker 2: sometimes you have to be close to it so that
Speaker 2: food is there. All right, it's there, and I'm preparing
Speaker 2: it for you guys for a feast in an hour
Speaker 2: from now.
Speaker 7: Yes, Tom, I could never have a Heather Locklier, but
Speaker 7: I had that poster up over my bed growing up.
Speaker 7: And you know, sometimes you just kind of in a
Speaker 7: free moment to pretend that you're with her.
Speaker 3: What I mean, what.
Speaker 7: Nothing like vulgar or anything like that, But I had
Speaker 7: this nice Heather Locklier poster in my room, and if
Speaker 7: you if it's not going to actually happen, you can
Speaker 7: just kind of fantasize and pretend right there above your bed.
Speaker 3: Like totalini soup Total soup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, insane.
Speaker 5: You want to be close to it in the.
Speaker 2: Caffeine caffeine caffeine Tortellini soup and Heather Locklear, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna have I'm not fantasizing about me Friday to day, dude,
Speaker 2: give another I'm just saying I'm not fantasizing minutes. Yeah
Speaker 2: that pork. One more hour to go.
