00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,869
talk about how you're you doing? I'm doing

34
00:01:33,869 --> 00:01:35,377
great Well, how was your trip? How was

35
00:01:35,377 --> 00:01:37,520
the Hacks saw holiday cook out? It was

36
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,266
great. We ate a lot. We drank a

37
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:41,114
lot the weather was pretty dogg on good.

38
00:01:41,354 --> 00:01:43,427
The only negative, it takes 14 hours to

39
00:01:43,427 --> 00:01:45,979
come home after your vacation is complete. Mh.

40
00:01:46,298 --> 00:01:48,314
Because we are so far removed from

41
00:01:48,691 --> 00:01:51,805
civilization. Up an upstate New York right near

42
00:01:51,805 --> 00:01:54,687
the Canadian border on the river. Fabulous fabulous

43
00:01:54,743 --> 00:01:54,823
time.

44
00:01:55,617 --> 00:01:57,523
Congratulations to you because we pulled off a

45
00:01:57,523 --> 00:01:58,261
couple of

46
00:01:58,889 --> 00:02:00,984
And anytime you're dealing in the

47
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,153
atmosphere with the weather's we have. Yeah. You

48
00:02:04,153 --> 00:02:06,009
never know what's gonna happen to

49
00:02:06,466 --> 00:02:10,712
podcasts and all the technical aspects. I'm glad

50
00:02:10,712 --> 00:02:12,790
you knew how to connect the red wire

51
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:15,108
with the green wire without short circuit in

52
00:02:15,108 --> 00:02:16,786
our podcast. You did a great job in

53
00:02:16,786 --> 00:02:18,639
the anchor share. Well, thank you Yeah. Thanks

54
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,000
a lot for that, Lee, but, you know,

55
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,479
it all works with technologies a little easier

56
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:24,239
now these days. It's not like back when

57
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:25,759
you were doing play by play for the

58
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:27,614
chargers in the nineties you're telling me the

59
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:29,612
story You guys froze your butt off or

60
00:02:29,612 --> 00:02:31,769
had... What, frostbite in the in a booth.

61
00:02:31,929 --> 00:02:34,247
Yeah. We were 9 hours a top Rf

62
00:02:34,247 --> 00:02:36,345
care stadium in Washington in a snowstorm

63
00:02:36,738 --> 00:02:38,728
in a Kw hud booth that had no

64
00:02:38,728 --> 00:02:41,195
windows and we froze. And then there was

65
00:02:41,195 --> 00:02:42,945
the time we did a charger broadcast in

66
00:02:43,025 --> 00:02:45,185
San Francisco. There was an earthquake on the

67
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:46,614
West Coast and Southern California.

68
00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:49,471
All of our connection lines went down. We

69
00:02:49,471 --> 00:02:51,138
picked it up. We we had to do

70
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:53,866
part of a game on a phone with

71
00:02:53,866 --> 00:02:54,846
me just holding

72
00:02:55,943 --> 00:02:57,701
the handset. You do he play by play

73
00:02:57,701 --> 00:02:59,390
on a telephone. On a tele phone. I

74
00:02:59,390 --> 00:03:01,295

75
00:03:01,295 --> 00:03:03,755

115
00:04:37,636 --> 00:04:38,833
John, we've got a lot of baseball to

116
00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:41,162
talk about because, we got Pent races and

117
00:04:41,162 --> 00:04:43,556
b here comes a trading deadline just around

118
00:04:43,556 --> 00:04:44,993
the corner. Where do you want start? Yeah.

119
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:47,547
Let's go here. Pod, Dodgers Angels. We're getting

120
00:04:47,547 --> 00:04:49,237
close to the trade deadline. Okay. Let's talk

121
00:04:49,237 --> 00:04:51,151
first of all about the Pod. They were

122
00:04:51,151 --> 00:04:53,304
hot. And, of course, they had that phenomenal

123
00:04:53,463 --> 00:04:56,515
Friday night victory before the record 47000

124
00:04:56,573 --> 00:04:56,972
fans.

125
00:04:57,784 --> 00:04:59,378
As they beat the diamondback, then they came

126
00:04:59,378 --> 00:05:01,449
back and they lost the last 2. They

127
00:05:01,449 --> 00:05:03,920
were closing in on the dodgers, the dodgers

128
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,930
are not given up. They're not throwing any

129
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:08,009
white flags up even though they're preaching staffers

130
00:05:08,009 --> 00:05:08,569
and tat,

131
00:05:09,129 --> 00:05:11,550
the pot still need a hot streak

132
00:05:12,009 --> 00:05:14,421
because coming up They got a road right

133
00:05:14,421 --> 00:05:16,415
after the All star day. They got 9

134
00:05:16,415 --> 00:05:18,887
on the road, and that includes at first

135
00:05:18,887 --> 00:05:21,679
place Cleveland at first place, Baltimore and then

136
00:05:21,679 --> 00:05:22,795
the first place Dodgers.

137
00:05:23,289 --> 00:05:26,160
So the pad as we swing right after

138
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,958
the all star break.

139
00:05:27,835 --> 00:05:28,872
It's gonna be tough.

140
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:29,989
Pad.

141
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:32,243
Let me update you on the Da

142
00:05:32,621 --> 00:05:32,780
situation.

143
00:05:33,511 --> 00:05:36,130
He is on baseball reserve list. He has

144
00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:37,638
left the pod raise he's gone back to

145
00:05:37,876 --> 00:05:38,114
Japan.

146
00:05:38,907 --> 00:05:41,288
He has not indicated Nor has his agent

147
00:05:41,288 --> 00:05:43,875
nor the club willing to indicate what's behind

148
00:05:44,092 --> 00:05:46,007
the decision of you do to step away

149
00:05:46,007 --> 00:05:49,218
from baseball. They say it's not a physical

150
00:05:49,596 --> 00:05:52,323
issue. Obviously, it's not the grind. They say

151
00:05:52,323 --> 00:05:54,739
it's not the elbow. It's a personal

152
00:05:55,117 --> 00:05:55,936
situation. Personal

153
00:05:56,394 --> 00:05:58,709
situation could be a serious illness of a

154
00:05:58,709 --> 00:06:00,799
family member. It could be a death of

155
00:06:00,799 --> 00:06:03,591
a family member where players take extended leaves

156
00:06:03,591 --> 00:06:05,904
of absence to Go home to help the

157
00:06:05,904 --> 00:06:08,238
family with funeral services could be a marital

158
00:06:08,536 --> 00:06:11,977
situation. They haven't detailed it. If Do comes

159
00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:13,806
back, and that's a huge question, but if

160
00:06:13,965 --> 00:06:16,749
Da comes back, I'm sure he will explain

161
00:06:16,749 --> 00:06:18,831
what has happened. But he's now ready to

162
00:06:18,831 --> 00:06:20,340
pitch if you were to come back this

163
00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:22,166
week. If he comes back next month, that's

164
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:23,381
a different set of circumstances.

165
00:06:24,072 --> 00:06:25,582
While he's on the reserve list,

166
00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:27,583
he forfeit a salary.

167
00:06:28,377 --> 00:06:30,284
And there have been some situations in the

168
00:06:30,363 --> 00:06:32,508
Ut that maybe he doesn't come back the

169
00:06:32,508 --> 00:06:32,826
season.

170
00:06:33,317 --> 00:06:35,881
Maybe this is a very severe situation that's

171
00:06:36,096 --> 00:06:37,049
back home in Japan.

172
00:06:37,922 --> 00:06:39,351
If he's on the reserve list, the rest

173
00:06:39,351 --> 00:06:40,724
of the year, the potter is

174
00:06:41,034 --> 00:06:43,991
get 7000000 dollars of a salary bank. So

175
00:06:43,991 --> 00:06:45,050
that 7000000

176
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:47,587
goes into the bank account with the 8000000

177
00:06:47,587 --> 00:06:49,765
they still have left in their current budget

178
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:51,996
So they might have 15000000 dollars to play

179
00:06:51,996 --> 00:06:52,496
with

180
00:06:53,195 --> 00:06:55,911
at the Baseball Trading deadline. If Da does

181
00:06:55,911 --> 00:06:58,404
not come back, as the week progresses through

182
00:06:58,404 --> 00:07:00,404
the All star break, maybe we'll get a

183
00:07:00,404 --> 00:07:01,365
better reading there.

184
00:07:02,165 --> 00:07:05,135
The must grove situation, I mean, he is

185
00:07:05,135 --> 00:07:07,306
so far away from being able to throw

186
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,387
in a bull pen session or to throw

187
00:07:10,387 --> 00:07:12,627
in a rehab start or to pitch in

188
00:07:12,627 --> 00:07:13,421
a major league game.

189
00:07:14,373 --> 00:07:16,119
The way this looks like this is gonna

190
00:07:16,119 --> 00:07:18,262
be mid August. So die, and we don't

191
00:07:18,262 --> 00:07:19,690
know if there's gonna be any setbacks so

192
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:20,087
long the way.

193
00:07:20,737 --> 00:07:22,246
Because of the bone spur in the elbow.

194
00:07:22,485 --> 00:07:25,265
So that's not good at all. Then the

195
00:07:25,265 --> 00:07:28,694
third item in this equation. Is the disappearance

196
00:07:28,694 --> 00:07:31,153
of Dillon Cease his ability to get through

197
00:07:31,153 --> 00:07:33,452
starts. He you know, he... His first aid

198
00:07:33,452 --> 00:07:35,063
starts, he had a 2.19.

199
00:07:35,847 --> 00:07:37,359
And we thought Boy Pro made a hell

200
00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:39,745
of a deal. His last 11 starts his

201
00:07:39,825 --> 00:07:41,813
Cra is well over 5.

202
00:07:42,704 --> 00:07:44,143
He's not winning any of him. And he's

203
00:07:44,143 --> 00:07:45,901
not competitive. And he's not getting past the

204
00:07:45,901 --> 00:07:46,700
fourth or fifth inning,

205
00:07:47,339 --> 00:07:48,458
virtually all these starts,

206
00:07:49,097 --> 00:07:51,015
plagued by home run balls, plagued by walks.

207
00:07:51,589 --> 00:07:54,007
There's a mystery. There's something not right

208
00:07:54,785 --> 00:07:55,285
with

209
00:07:55,824 --> 00:07:58,141
location, which to me is mechanical. You got

210
00:07:58,141 --> 00:08:00,234
all those video on the picture why can't

211
00:08:00,234 --> 00:08:03,350
you solve this situation? And then the question

212
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:05,427
is, you know, they keep running at a

213
00:08:05,427 --> 00:08:08,500
maze out there, the rookie, and a kid

214
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,480
competes, but the kid always had as a

215
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,199
bad inning or 2, and winds up losing,

216
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,759
is z is 7.52.

217
00:08:16,573 --> 00:08:17,531
You got vas.

218
00:08:18,649 --> 00:08:21,225
You're obviously, got Michael King who's more trustworthy

219
00:08:21,284 --> 00:08:23,838
than anybody else that's standing in the rotation

220
00:08:23,838 --> 00:08:25,649
right now. They've tried to

221
00:08:26,727 --> 00:08:29,200
get Johnny Brit up and running and extend

222
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,035
him in El Paso and he's getting lit.

223
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:33,030
That's not a good situation.

224
00:08:33,762 --> 00:08:35,510
I don't know. They must not have confidence

225
00:08:35,510 --> 00:08:37,497
at Adrian Mori can be more than a

226
00:08:37,497 --> 00:08:39,723
1 inning or an in and a third

227
00:08:39,723 --> 00:08:40,279
relief picture.

228
00:08:41,168 --> 00:08:43,232
That's why they're not moving him into the

229
00:08:43,232 --> 00:08:44,899
starting rotation. So it's... I mean, to me,

230
00:08:44,978 --> 00:08:48,470
it's almost mandatory now. That J Pro find

231
00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:50,550
a way to get a deal. And whether

232
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:52,140
that's Cal Quan trail who's now on the

233
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:53,196
trade block in Colorado,

234
00:08:53,650 --> 00:08:55,478
or whether it's Zach Elf and another former

235
00:08:55,637 --> 00:08:55,955
Pod,

236
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:58,816
who is on the trade block in Tampa,

237
00:08:59,547 --> 00:09:02,649
whether it's the rental of Sean Man coming

238
00:09:02,649 --> 00:09:03,842
back from the New York Metz.

239
00:09:04,717 --> 00:09:06,721
Hey Gonna have to find herself. Some type

240
00:09:06,721 --> 00:09:08,312
of starting, and then we get into the

241
00:09:08,312 --> 00:09:10,461
argument about the prospects who gonna trade.

242
00:09:11,256 --> 00:09:12,609
And by the way, the prospects are not

243
00:09:12,609 --> 00:09:15,831
doing well. Robbie sn is 2 and 8

244
00:09:16,128 --> 00:09:18,358
at to aa a. I mean, he's getting

245
00:09:18,358 --> 00:09:20,111
shelled. He's kinda hit a wall.

246
00:09:20,843 --> 00:09:22,757
Dylan Las, the young high school kid who

247
00:09:22,757 --> 00:09:24,033
came back from Elbow surgery.

248
00:09:24,671 --> 00:09:26,346
He's 2 and 6 in Class A ball.

249
00:09:26,904 --> 00:09:29,057
The catcher Ethan Sal is still hitting 1

250
00:09:29,057 --> 00:09:29,695
97.

251
00:09:30,269 --> 00:09:31,970
Leo reeves up in rancho

252
00:09:32,269 --> 00:09:34,589
are up in Lake El hitting 02:17. So

253
00:09:34,589 --> 00:09:35,809
their top 4 prospects

254
00:09:36,269 --> 00:09:38,029
have all fallen out of the top hundred.

255
00:09:38,603 --> 00:09:41,465
In Major League baseball. So, John, they got

256
00:09:41,465 --> 00:09:44,167
they got all kinds of problems, obviously highlighted

257
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,178
by the concern about this do

258
00:09:46,568 --> 00:09:47,068
family

259
00:09:48,004 --> 00:09:50,158
situation. So that's a quick take on the

260
00:09:50,237 --> 00:09:52,231
Pod, by the way. Sidebar story,

261
00:09:53,188 --> 00:09:53,688
5

262
00:09:54,066 --> 00:09:56,553
f in the All star game. Yeah. How

263
00:09:56,553 --> 00:09:58,388
about the journey of Robert Suarez?

264
00:09:58,946 --> 00:09:59,446
Mexico,

265
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:00,701
Japan,

266
00:10:01,499 --> 00:10:03,253
front end of the bull pen, the eleventh

267
00:10:03,253 --> 00:10:05,566
man and the pitching staff. Now he's the

268
00:10:05,566 --> 00:10:05,885
closer,

269
00:10:06,379 --> 00:10:08,851
Now he's in All star. Has he progressed?

270
00:10:09,409 --> 00:10:11,642
What a great acquisition. Suarez goes to the

271
00:10:11,722 --> 00:10:13,237
All star game. How about the Rookie of

272
00:10:13,237 --> 00:10:14,114
the year, Canada,

273
00:10:14,673 --> 00:10:15,470
Jackson Merrill?

274
00:10:15,964 --> 00:10:17,957
I mean, he wasn't even encountered on making

275
00:10:17,957 --> 00:10:19,631
the opening day roster until all of sudden

276
00:10:19,631 --> 00:10:21,465
they had Holes in center field. He was

277
00:10:21,465 --> 00:10:22,900
more shorts stop than it was out field,

278
00:10:23,458 --> 00:10:24,470
and he is not

279
00:10:24,907 --> 00:10:26,260
The stage is not too big for him.

280
00:10:26,419 --> 00:10:28,966
I mean, it's absolutely stunning how somebody this

281
00:10:28,966 --> 00:10:30,638
young is a foreman moon pick could do

282
00:10:30,638 --> 00:10:32,720
this and of course, Luis police arise. Gets

283
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,148
to go the All star game for the

284
00:10:34,148 --> 00:10:36,394
third time in a row, and they join

285
00:10:36,449 --> 00:10:38,671
pro far having a career season, and then

286
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:39,567
you add in

287
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:40,440
Tat

288
00:10:40,749 --> 00:10:42,415
who I think should go and at least

289
00:10:42,415 --> 00:10:44,716
stand on the first baseline in uniform and

290
00:10:44,716 --> 00:10:46,462
be salute by all the fans. I mean,

291
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:49,081
Fernando has earned this even though he's out.

292
00:10:49,493 --> 00:10:51,641
For an extended period of time. So that's...

293
00:10:52,198 --> 00:10:54,266
I've emptied all the pages from my Pad

294
00:10:54,266 --> 00:10:54,664
notebook.

295
00:10:56,826 --> 00:10:59,052
Audio problem here. And then we get it

296
00:10:59,052 --> 00:11:01,119
right here because we where we were on

297
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:03,209
audio and then suddenly, we went off. So

298
00:11:03,345 --> 00:11:04,617
let me just double check here to make

299
00:11:04,617 --> 00:11:06,863
sure everything is alright. We're good now. I

300
00:11:06,863 --> 00:11:08,381
think we're good. I just wanna make 1

301
00:11:08,381 --> 00:11:10,458
more comment about the other Pad. All stars,

302
00:11:10,697 --> 00:11:12,830
all stars. I mean, in March, we were

303
00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:14,228
saying who in the heck gonna play left

304
00:11:14,228 --> 00:11:16,785
field in Center field? We huge questions in

305
00:11:16,865 --> 00:11:19,981
February and March. Pro far sign kinda late

306
00:11:19,981 --> 00:11:20,620
if I recall.

307
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:22,623
And then we yeah, we had no idea

308
00:11:22,623 --> 00:11:24,633
about Meryl and to go from having

309
00:11:25,007 --> 00:11:27,471
huge questions to a few months later, having

310
00:11:27,471 --> 00:11:28,981
a whole out field in the All star

311
00:11:28,981 --> 00:11:31,629
game. It's incredible. Can't but I concur. An

312
00:11:31,629 --> 00:11:34,110
as far story to me is so heartwarming.

313
00:11:34,269 --> 00:11:36,750
What he's made himself. And and let's give

314
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:38,429
credit to the front office. They cited and

315
00:11:38,429 --> 00:11:40,511
they scope. They saw this guy and what

316
00:11:40,511 --> 00:11:42,655
he threw and they figured we can configure

317
00:11:42,655 --> 00:11:44,481
certain things and make him a setup guy,

318
00:11:44,719 --> 00:11:46,387
and then he became a closer. I mean,

319
00:11:46,546 --> 00:11:47,816
that's a cool story.

320
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:50,852
He was pitching buried in Mexico and went

321
00:11:50,852 --> 00:11:52,283
to Japan, and he was not a star

322
00:11:52,283 --> 00:11:54,667
in Japan, and they they brought 3 pictures

323
00:11:54,667 --> 00:11:57,632
over from Japan. And Luis Garcia was 1,

324
00:11:57,792 --> 00:12:00,589
Nick Martinez was the second, and this guy

325
00:12:00,589 --> 00:12:03,305
was the third and Suarez has become a

326
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:05,943
closer and the national league closure right now.

327
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:08,641
But he I mean, greatly earn that I'll

328
00:12:08,641 --> 00:12:11,045
start bid, but sometimes I wonder if

329
00:12:11,434 --> 00:12:13,190
players know that fast balls coming, You know?

330
00:12:13,349 --> 00:12:15,185
And they're already rev up for the quick

331
00:12:15,185 --> 00:12:17,180
swing because we've seen that a few times

332
00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:18,377
where he comes in, and we gave up

333
00:12:18,377 --> 00:12:19,356
a bomb on

334
00:12:19,909 --> 00:12:21,187
when was that. That was the Friday night

335
00:12:21,187 --> 00:12:22,466
I came. Yeah. Give her a 2 run

336
00:12:22,466 --> 00:12:24,144
homer and a grand slam home. Yeah. Like,

337
00:12:24,224 --> 00:12:26,221
boom. And you're, like, holy Moly. But that's

338
00:12:26,221 --> 00:12:27,440
a byproduct of

339
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:30,227
Mike sc using him 3 straight nights. Yeah.

340
00:12:30,466 --> 00:12:33,279
Correct. That's too much. Correct. And that's twice

341
00:12:33,656 --> 00:12:35,172
twice now. He's gone 3 nights in a

342
00:12:35,172 --> 00:12:37,086
row and gotten lit on the third night.

343
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,500
In each time. They need to be cautious

344
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,539
with him because he's so valuable. Okay. Let's

345
00:12:42,539 --> 00:12:44,620
go from Pod Baseball. Let's talk about the

346
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:45,100
Dodgers.

347
00:12:45,673 --> 00:12:47,821
They're sitting there and holding their breath as

348
00:12:47,821 --> 00:12:49,968
to what's gonna happen next with pitching.

349
00:12:50,764 --> 00:12:53,070
They continue to shop to make a deal

350
00:12:53,070 --> 00:12:55,550
to get a pitcher They continue to talk

351
00:12:55,550 --> 00:12:57,379
about a trade to maybe get the White

352
00:12:57,379 --> 00:12:59,128
sox out. They're Luis Robert.

353
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:03,263
They're sending Clayton K shot Oklahoma City mid

354
00:13:03,263 --> 00:13:05,505
week for a rehab start, and he is

355
00:13:05,505 --> 00:13:08,131
really bounced back quick. Yeah. The 1 good

356
00:13:08,131 --> 00:13:10,517
mon agree her have started at Rancho K

357
00:13:10,517 --> 00:13:13,799
mu, then between starts throwing bull pens, shoulder

358
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:15,712
stiffness. They calmed it down, shut him down

359
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:18,602
for 10 days, he's gone back. He's now

360
00:13:19,075 --> 00:13:21,315
done his between start progressions and had no

361
00:13:21,315 --> 00:13:24,115
setback. So he goes back on mound. We'll

362
00:13:24,115 --> 00:13:26,034
find out... There'll be a pitch count, does

363
00:13:26,034 --> 00:13:27,715
he go 3 innings names at the Oklahoma

364
00:13:27,875 --> 00:13:30,041
City. How does he do... How does he

365
00:13:30,041 --> 00:13:32,111
feel the day after and the second day

366
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:34,180
after he throws at Oak City. That'll be

367
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:36,011
the key as to whether he is gonna

368
00:13:36,011 --> 00:13:36,409
come back.

369
00:13:37,125 --> 00:13:37,921
Do you know?

370
00:13:38,733 --> 00:13:39,610
Since Y

371
00:13:40,408 --> 00:13:42,322
Went on the disable list with a strain

372
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,194
rotator cuff. Their starters, John have a combined

373
00:13:45,433 --> 00:13:46,629
Ra of 5.03,

374
00:13:46,789 --> 00:13:50,160
and that includes Tyler glass now. Really? 5.03.

375
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:52,480
Wow. So they're were really desperate for pitching.

376
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,440
Joe Kelly has thrown a bull pen in

377
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,879
addition to K shop, but he seems a

378
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,366
little bit farther down the line. So they're

379
00:13:59,366 --> 00:14:01,198
a little bit short. Bobby Miller is back

380
00:14:01,198 --> 00:14:03,110
in the rotation with the other kid pitcher

381
00:14:03,269 --> 00:14:03,986
Gavin stone,

382
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:06,712
Miller still a little iffy, throwing a lot

383
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:09,206
of pitches. He's not throwing to the velocity

384
00:14:09,264 --> 00:14:10,003
they threw

385
00:14:10,380 --> 00:14:12,715
before he injured the shoulder way back early

386
00:14:12,932 --> 00:14:13,570
in April.

387
00:14:14,622 --> 00:14:16,935
But he's he's bulldog his way through starts

388
00:14:16,935 --> 00:14:19,168
at 4 and 5 innings. So I think

389
00:14:19,168 --> 00:14:21,641
there's a deal coming from the dodgers pretty

390
00:14:21,641 --> 00:14:23,850
dogg on quickly to talk try to solve

391
00:14:24,129 --> 00:14:25,326
the bull penn situation.

392
00:14:26,204 --> 00:14:28,917
Angels. If you drive by Angel stadium at

393
00:14:29,316 --> 00:14:29,555
Anaheim,

394
00:14:30,194 --> 00:14:32,837
look closely, there might be a for sale

395
00:14:32,837 --> 00:14:33,869
sign out front.

396
00:14:34,503 --> 00:14:36,724
It looks as if they're gonna be sellers

397
00:14:36,724 --> 00:14:38,890
and they're gonna trade a pile of people

398
00:14:39,342 --> 00:14:40,080
between now

399
00:14:40,388 --> 00:14:43,407
in July 30 first. Latest rumor is the

400
00:14:43,407 --> 00:14:45,313
guy that hitting 300. I think he's the

401
00:14:45,313 --> 00:14:47,061
only guy hitting over for 300. He wasn't

402
00:14:47,061 --> 00:14:48,412
in with the team to start the season.

403
00:14:48,904 --> 00:14:51,381
Kevin Par may be going to Atlanta. Atlanta

404
00:14:51,381 --> 00:14:53,320
is desperate to try to find out

405
00:14:53,699 --> 00:14:55,777
and Polar hit home runs and not launching

406
00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:58,108
japan. Fact he had been there before. And

407
00:14:58,108 --> 00:14:59,621
and did a good job. It looks as

408
00:14:59,621 --> 00:15:02,171
a Polaris might be going to Atlanta. They

409
00:15:02,171 --> 00:15:04,583
are shopping their closer Carlos Est,

410
00:15:05,134 --> 00:15:06,403
who they got a year and a half

411
00:15:06,403 --> 00:15:08,624
ago. He's been up. He's been down. People

412
00:15:08,624 --> 00:15:10,845
are out there, including the yankee are looking

413
00:15:10,845 --> 00:15:11,638
for a closer.

414
00:15:12,289 --> 00:15:14,766
They're getting calls on taylor ward. Their left

415
00:15:14,766 --> 00:15:17,163
field got some pop in his bad. It

416
00:15:17,163 --> 00:15:19,160
looks as if for sale, you know, they're

417
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,007
given up. I mean, they're back into the

418
00:15:21,007 --> 00:15:23,315
t of another losing streak as hard as

419
00:15:23,474 --> 00:15:25,384
Ron Washington his work. They're just not a

420
00:15:25,384 --> 00:15:28,170
a lot there. By the way, they just

421
00:15:28,170 --> 00:15:28,908
lost their

422
00:15:29,299 --> 00:15:31,058
second base and third placement would just come

423
00:15:31,058 --> 00:15:33,215
off the D where we and G has

424
00:15:33,215 --> 00:15:36,353
gone again with a wrist injury, and

425
00:15:36,892 --> 00:15:37,291
your guy,

426
00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:38,730
your guy.

427
00:15:39,304 --> 00:15:42,021
Anthony Ron is being activated. I mean, he's

428
00:15:42,021 --> 00:15:43,939
missed more games in 4 years and he's

429
00:15:43,939 --> 00:15:46,097
played in 4 years with the halo, and

430
00:15:46,097 --> 00:15:48,070
he had a torn ham. He is back

431
00:15:48,350 --> 00:15:50,029
He's been running. He's been hitting.

432
00:15:50,669 --> 00:15:52,830
He's gonna start if not tonight, he may

433
00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:53,730
start tomorrow

434
00:15:54,029 --> 00:15:54,830
against Texas.

435
00:15:55,549 --> 00:15:58,125
So You're coming on the dodgers. You're coming

436
00:15:58,125 --> 00:15:59,804
on the Halo. Well, on the Halo. First

437
00:15:59,804 --> 00:16:00,924
of all, you said there was a 4

438
00:16:00,924 --> 00:16:02,125
sale sign on the state stadium. And I'm

439
00:16:02,125 --> 00:16:04,524
thinking, hey, Already selling. Now. Already selling the

440
00:16:04,524 --> 00:16:07,019
franchise. Nolan Roster just the roster response. Yeah.

441
00:16:07,179 --> 00:16:09,259
So, you, 1 of those guys, we say

442
00:16:09,419 --> 00:16:11,899
Carlos Est. That's the Charlie Sheen guy, You

443
00:16:11,899 --> 00:16:14,310
know, that's kinda connected him. I heard the

444
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:16,378
rumors about Renee going to the, maybe to

445
00:16:16,378 --> 00:16:18,924
the yankee, you know, all these speculation. But

446
00:16:18,924 --> 00:16:20,378
the angels clearly

447
00:16:21,009 --> 00:16:23,350
need to somehow be able to par

448
00:16:23,889 --> 00:16:26,450
guys to get more assets, you know, and

449
00:16:26,450 --> 00:16:28,370
hope that some of those lot tickets hit.

450
00:16:28,784 --> 00:16:30,778
Because right now, they're just scraping the bottom

451
00:16:30,778 --> 00:16:32,554
of the barrel. The dodgers

452
00:16:32,931 --> 00:16:34,845
is clayton K shot done. I mean, how

453
00:16:34,845 --> 00:16:36,759
he seems like he's injured every year. When

454
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:38,115
was the last time he had a strong

455
00:16:38,115 --> 00:16:41,012
season. Said 3 seasons of different issues back

456
00:16:41,146 --> 00:16:43,526
back, then shoulder than the shoulder surgery,

457
00:16:43,923 --> 00:16:44,954
but then he's come back.

458
00:16:45,924 --> 00:16:48,161
He he refers to himself. Yeah. I'm the

459
00:16:48,161 --> 00:16:50,318
picture with the old man arm. God this

460
00:16:50,318 --> 00:16:52,496
might well be his last season, but

461
00:16:52,969 --> 00:16:55,206
when he's right, and when he's been healthy.

462
00:16:55,366 --> 00:16:57,044
And when he's fought back from these injuries,

463
00:16:57,283 --> 00:16:59,520
he's still been vintage, Clayton and K.

464
00:17:00,174 --> 00:17:01,693
So he's not ready to hanging up, but

465
00:17:01,693 --> 00:17:03,451
this this might be the funnel go round

466
00:17:03,451 --> 00:17:05,229
for him. But the dodgers

467
00:17:05,688 --> 00:17:07,046
dodgers draw 4000000.

468
00:17:07,606 --> 00:17:08,345
The dodgers

469
00:17:08,738 --> 00:17:11,200
not afraid to pay luxury tax. The dodgers

470
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,345
have a lot of players at Oklahoma City

471
00:17:13,345 --> 00:17:14,242
and at Aa

472
00:17:14,774 --> 00:17:17,884
and had never historically been fearful of doing

473
00:17:17,884 --> 00:17:20,341
something real significance of the trade deadline. I

474
00:17:20,341 --> 00:17:23,194
mean, you look back in years prior, mo

475
00:17:23,194 --> 00:17:23,353
bets.

476
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:27,258
Adrian Gonzales way back. Monster deals.

477
00:17:28,211 --> 00:17:30,435
Dodgers might do it again because they do

478
00:17:30,435 --> 00:17:32,182
have the assets to still package.

479
00:17:32,673 --> 00:17:33,863
They hold on to a lot of their

480
00:17:33,863 --> 00:17:35,925
players. Sometimes they over overweight their players, but

481
00:17:35,925 --> 00:17:37,114
they do make deals,

482
00:17:37,669 --> 00:17:39,493
and they right now are kind of backed

483
00:17:39,493 --> 00:17:41,416
into a corner and you know, they're looking

484
00:17:41,416 --> 00:17:43,567
over their shoulder because the Pod raised, they

485
00:17:43,567 --> 00:17:45,877
had taken a 10 game lead, and the

486
00:17:45,957 --> 00:17:47,471
Pad had chopped it down to 6 and

487
00:17:47,471 --> 00:17:49,064
a half, but then they got drilled by

488
00:17:49,462 --> 00:17:49,701
Arizona.

489
00:17:50,353 --> 00:17:52,501
Saturday and Sunday, Arizona had a hell of

490
00:17:52,501 --> 00:17:54,012
a road trip because they beat the dodgers.

491
00:17:54,887 --> 00:17:57,689
At Dodge Stadium Christian Walker hit 5 home

492
00:17:57,689 --> 00:17:59,526
runs in 3 games and ran them out,

493
00:17:59,846 --> 00:18:02,083
ran them out. So I I think the

494
00:18:02,083 --> 00:18:04,101
dodgers are probably gonna make deal. And

495
00:18:04,813 --> 00:18:07,283
because we do follow everything on this podcast.

496
00:18:08,717 --> 00:18:10,550
Late breaking, off the sports wire,

497
00:18:11,187 --> 00:18:13,577
Trevor Bauer, Mexico City Dia.

498
00:18:14,548 --> 00:18:17,004
10:1.66

499
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:17,583
E,

500
00:18:18,509 --> 00:18:20,886
hundred 22 strike outs and a hundred 8

501
00:18:20,886 --> 00:18:21,386
innings

502
00:18:21,773 --> 00:18:22,409
in Mexico.

503
00:18:23,205 --> 00:18:25,034
Does anybody have the phone number to the

504
00:18:25,113 --> 00:18:27,101
Mexico City, Dia Ro.

505
00:18:28,135 --> 00:18:28,635
Somebody

506
00:18:29,725 --> 00:18:32,367
nobody's is gonna need pitching? Are you telling

507
00:18:32,367 --> 00:18:33,963
me that? Pick up with a phone, make

508
00:18:33,963 --> 00:18:36,118
a call. You know? Because there there aren't

509
00:18:36,118 --> 00:18:38,533
any, like, shy young level

510
00:18:39,643 --> 00:18:41,865
starters that are on the block. Right? I

511
00:18:41,865 --> 00:18:44,326
mean, unless the the rangers kinda of fall

512
00:18:44,326 --> 00:18:45,913
out of it, and they might deal sure

513
00:18:45,913 --> 00:18:48,155
or. I don't know. But every 1 of

514
00:18:48,155 --> 00:18:49,670
the names we're hearing are just a bunch

515
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,859
of recycled number 4 starters. So god bauer,

516
00:18:53,018 --> 00:18:54,852
you think would be able to plug right

517
00:18:54,852 --> 00:18:55,330
in and go.

518
00:18:56,863 --> 00:18:59,340
Fans form. Is there anybody out there that

519
00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:00,319
agrees with us

520
00:19:00,938 --> 00:19:03,415
that yes, Trevor bauer has acted like a

521
00:19:03,415 --> 00:19:03,789
jerk

522
00:19:04,467 --> 00:19:06,380
But the guy is 83

523
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:09,170
and 59 in his major career and could

524
00:19:09,170 --> 00:19:10,923
be your number 2 or number 3 starter

525
00:19:10,923 --> 00:19:11,560
and you give them the ball.

526
00:19:12,853 --> 00:19:14,850
The dude is 10 o in Mexico City,

527
00:19:15,090 --> 00:19:17,566
I grant you that's Aaa baseball, but he's

528
00:19:17,566 --> 00:19:18,066
dominant.

529
00:19:19,179 --> 00:19:21,412
Would you make the phone call if you

530
00:19:21,412 --> 00:19:22,231
were the Pad

531
00:19:23,007 --> 00:19:25,001
for Trevor Bauer. I'm just surprised there's nobody

532
00:19:25,001 --> 00:19:26,915
in major league baseball upon. There are people

533
00:19:26,915 --> 00:19:28,511
with monster pitching problems?

534
00:19:29,243 --> 00:19:32,354
Yankee are just an absolute miss. Trying to

535
00:19:32,354 --> 00:19:34,906
hold themselves close to Baltimore. Do you think

536
00:19:34,906 --> 00:19:37,060
the commissioner office has putting any pressure on

537
00:19:37,060 --> 00:19:38,655
any of these teams to not sign them?

538
00:19:39,148 --> 00:19:40,737
Oh, do you think they'd ever talk about

539
00:19:40,737 --> 00:19:40,896
that?

540
00:19:41,770 --> 00:19:42,009
No.

541
00:19:42,963 --> 00:19:44,632
But at the end of the day, there

542
00:19:44,632 --> 00:19:47,273
should be some maverick owner... So fans form.

543
00:19:47,831 --> 00:19:50,087
Somebody jump on board in the chat box

544
00:19:50,146 --> 00:19:52,061
and just tell us your impressions of what

545
00:19:52,061 --> 00:19:54,455
the ponder should do with the dodgers could

546
00:19:54,455 --> 00:19:54,615
do,

547
00:19:55,425 --> 00:19:58,387
Angels fire sale and the whole Trevor Bauer

548
00:19:58,681 --> 00:20:01,618
situation, feel free to join us. John Wig

549
00:20:01,618 --> 00:20:03,547
from all things major League Baseball,

550
00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:06,245
we're gonna have to talk about this and

551
00:20:06,245 --> 00:20:08,714
might as well be right now, Lakers line.

552
00:20:09,032 --> 00:20:11,660
Lakers line. Yeah. I mean, they're struggling to

553
00:20:11,660 --> 00:20:12,776
get this roster together.

554
00:20:13,188 --> 00:20:13,825
Is amazing.

555
00:20:14,461 --> 00:20:15,097
Nice headline.

556
00:20:15,892 --> 00:20:17,482
No 1 wants to play in La.

557
00:20:18,118 --> 00:20:20,266
Alright, let's just review the last calendar week

558
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:22,413
that was kinda wrapped around the Nba draft.

559
00:20:23,862 --> 00:20:26,017
You know, the the first item in the

560
00:20:26,017 --> 00:20:28,672
equation was Clay Thompson met with the lakers

561
00:20:29,608 --> 00:20:30,486
last Saturday night.

562
00:20:31,698 --> 00:20:32,995
And they talked about

563
00:20:33,611 --> 00:20:36,561
they creatively financed deal. There were limitations what

564
00:20:36,561 --> 00:20:37,996
they could pay them in first year, It'd

565
00:20:37,996 --> 00:20:40,484
be second second and third year. He'd make

566
00:20:40,484 --> 00:20:41,682
more of the money. He's had a great

567
00:20:41,682 --> 00:20:44,159
career. Outstanding 3 point shooter, 1 of the

568
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:44,978
splash brothers

569
00:20:45,437 --> 00:20:46,395
at Golden State.

570
00:20:47,528 --> 00:20:49,282
Clay Thompson did not wanna play for the

571
00:20:49,282 --> 00:20:51,276
lakers and to complicate a golden state.

572
00:20:52,153 --> 00:20:53,588
Although they could've have worked to sign and

573
00:20:53,588 --> 00:20:55,581
trade, did not wanna take on any of

574
00:20:55,581 --> 00:20:58,612
the r raf on the Liquor Roster. Golden

575
00:20:58,692 --> 00:21:00,778
State did not wanna take on any money

576
00:21:01,072 --> 00:21:03,373
of Liquor contracts. They they just wanted.

577
00:21:04,817 --> 00:21:05,214
Graphics.

578
00:21:05,929 --> 00:21:07,359
Well, I'm not trading the number 1 for

579
00:21:07,439 --> 00:21:09,346
Clay Thompson. Sorry. That just does make any

580
00:21:09,346 --> 00:21:11,491
a sense from the lakers perspective. He winds

581
00:21:11,491 --> 00:21:11,571
up,

582
00:21:12,542 --> 00:21:14,375
going to Dallas in a 3 team trade

583
00:21:14,375 --> 00:21:15,730
that turns out to be win winning. I

584
00:21:15,730 --> 00:21:17,564
got a 3 year or 50000000 dollar contract.

585
00:21:17,723 --> 00:21:19,796
So click Thompson, the first 1 said no.

586
00:21:20,767 --> 00:21:22,598
And, of course they had talked extensively the

587
00:21:22,598 --> 00:21:23,815
second half of the season

588
00:21:24,192 --> 00:21:26,263
around the Nba trade deadline to Atlanta for

589
00:21:26,342 --> 00:21:27,139
Des Murray,

590
00:21:28,095 --> 00:21:30,443
and nothing stalled. Because the lakers

591
00:21:31,220 --> 00:21:32,976
did not wanna part with 2 number 1

592
00:21:32,976 --> 00:21:34,731
draft picks to get Murray out of Atlanta.

593
00:21:35,369 --> 00:21:36,806
On the Murray ones up going to New

594
00:21:36,886 --> 00:21:39,298
Orleans, in a 3 team deal that involved

595
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,615
multiples of draft picks and salary, etcetera.

596
00:21:42,175 --> 00:21:43,134
That's a second guy.

597
00:21:43,853 --> 00:21:46,171
Then everybody was of the opinion marty Rose

598
00:21:46,171 --> 00:21:48,756
from the Chicago bulls at age 34

599
00:21:49,049 --> 00:21:50,793
is found the fountain the youth, and he

600
00:21:50,793 --> 00:21:52,696
played really well on a bad bulls team,

601
00:21:53,013 --> 00:21:54,123
he becomes available.

602
00:21:55,170 --> 00:21:58,130
And all this conversation about Demand Ro, and

603
00:21:58,130 --> 00:22:00,070
would use some of the money Lebron James

604
00:22:00,130 --> 00:22:00,769
gave back,

605
00:22:02,383 --> 00:22:04,364
make this deal come. He'd be he'd be

606
00:22:04,364 --> 00:22:05,870
a veteran back court force.

607
00:22:06,821 --> 00:22:07,772
He goes to Sacramento.

608
00:22:08,406 --> 00:22:08,906
Sacramento

609
00:22:10,008 --> 00:22:12,318
Sacramento kings out bid the lakers to get

610
00:22:12,318 --> 00:22:12,876
mar Erosion.

611
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:16,382
Chris Paul had an opportunity to come here

612
00:22:16,382 --> 00:22:18,055
in some type of sun and trade with

613
00:22:18,134 --> 00:22:18,772
Golden state.

614
00:22:19,743 --> 00:22:21,495
Then he got released by Golden state.

615
00:22:22,451 --> 00:22:24,204
Chris Paul doesn't come to the lakers either.

616
00:22:24,363 --> 00:22:26,036
He winds up going to San Antonio.

617
00:22:26,833 --> 00:22:28,187
And then the ag aggravated all,

618
00:22:28,839 --> 00:22:30,940
1 of the more productive guys off the

619
00:22:31,159 --> 00:22:31,900
and Prince

620
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:32,679
leaves.

621
00:22:33,159 --> 00:22:35,400
He goes to the Detroit pissing... The last

622
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:35,855
place

623
00:22:36,373 --> 00:22:37,091
Detroit Pistons.

624
00:22:37,649 --> 00:22:39,962
He'd rather play for a 16 and 48

625
00:22:40,121 --> 00:22:42,594
Detroit Piston team than play with Lebron and

626
00:22:42,673 --> 00:22:44,428
Ad d and still be part of the

627
00:22:44,428 --> 00:22:45,305
rotation with the lakers.

628
00:22:46,195 --> 00:22:48,020
They can't get anybody who wants to come

629
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:49,925
and play here. I mean, it's it to

630
00:22:49,925 --> 00:22:52,862
me. That's a stunning off season story.

631
00:22:54,075 --> 00:22:54,575
Beyond

632
00:22:55,515 --> 00:22:57,055
the the hiring end of Jj.

633
00:22:57,515 --> 00:22:59,994
Beyond the drafting of Lebron kid in the

634
00:22:59,994 --> 00:23:02,474
second round and giving them the guaranteed contract

635
00:23:02,474 --> 00:23:05,049
etcetera. Just stunning. By the way, speaking of

636
00:23:05,049 --> 00:23:05,610
the draft picks,

637
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:08,809
I know you... I know you like Espn.

638
00:23:09,130 --> 00:23:10,730
Alright. I'm not gonna bag on you for

639
00:23:10,730 --> 00:23:12,250
that, but I'm gonna bag on them.

640
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:14,442
So B makes his debut

641
00:23:15,219 --> 00:23:16,975
in the Nba summer league.

642
00:23:17,773 --> 00:23:19,131
They play up in the Bay area. It's

643
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:21,206
called the San Francisco, California Classic.

644
00:23:22,179 --> 00:23:24,114
So he plays the first game against Sacramento,

645
00:23:24,651 --> 00:23:26,803
and the Lakers Rookie get killed by the

646
00:23:26,883 --> 00:23:27,520
King's Rookie,

647
00:23:28,477 --> 00:23:29,992
and Bran goes 2 for 9.

648
00:23:30,803 --> 00:23:33,585
In 22 minutes, 249.

649
00:23:34,856 --> 00:23:35,356
And

650
00:23:36,048 --> 00:23:38,432
just overwhelmed. I mean, just couldn't handle the

651
00:23:38,432 --> 00:23:38,671
speed.

652
00:23:39,719 --> 00:23:40,699
And then he realize

653
00:23:41,557 --> 00:23:44,274
dude to 6 1. He's not 6 4.

654
00:23:44,913 --> 00:23:45,872
He's 6 1.

655
00:23:46,671 --> 00:23:47,845
Physically, he just

656
00:23:48,684 --> 00:23:51,325
kinda looked diminished against other Nba talents.

657
00:23:52,044 --> 00:23:53,505
And then he's supposed to play

658
00:23:54,044 --> 00:23:57,099
the second game against Golden State, and it

659
00:23:57,099 --> 00:23:59,340
can't play because southern got swelling in his

660
00:23:59,340 --> 00:23:59,660
knee.

661
00:24:00,859 --> 00:24:01,359
So

662
00:24:01,820 --> 00:24:03,019
your favorite network.

663
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:06,647
I was at the airport. Yesterday. Right? Yesterday

664
00:24:06,704 --> 00:24:08,853
morning. And I I knew Bonnie had gone

665
00:24:08,853 --> 00:24:10,524
2 for 9 in the first summer game

666
00:24:10,524 --> 00:24:11,479
and they didn't play well.

667
00:24:13,004 --> 00:24:14,196
Espn in your network,

668
00:24:15,149 --> 00:24:15,887
sat there

669
00:24:16,341 --> 00:24:18,588
and spend 3 plus minutes

670
00:24:19,042 --> 00:24:19,757
on B.

671
00:24:20,964 --> 00:24:22,796
That's all the video was. Not about anybody

672
00:24:22,796 --> 00:24:22,955
else.

673
00:24:23,831 --> 00:24:26,381
And then they had their Nba insiders at

674
00:24:26,381 --> 00:24:27,018
the table.

675
00:24:27,735 --> 00:24:30,067
They spent another 3 minutes analyzing

676
00:24:30,459 --> 00:24:31,735
the 2 baskets he made.

677
00:24:32,532 --> 00:24:33,809
You gotta be kidding me.

678
00:24:35,324 --> 00:24:35,643
I mean,

679
00:24:36,361 --> 00:24:38,515
no conversation about the first round draft pick,

680
00:24:38,754 --> 00:24:39,471
Dalton Connect.

681
00:24:40,601 --> 00:24:42,611
And no conversation, no coverage

682
00:24:43,382 --> 00:24:45,391
of the sacramento player, a rookie

683
00:24:45,924 --> 00:24:48,648
who scored 32 points and had 11 rebound

684
00:24:48,958 --> 00:24:50,627
did not even mention his name.

685
00:24:51,819 --> 00:24:54,203
So your network is all about clicks.

686
00:24:54,838 --> 00:24:58,271
That's it. Man, no credibility there. By the

687
00:24:58,271 --> 00:25:00,655
way, Dalton Connect. Welcome to the Nba.

688
00:25:01,608 --> 00:25:04,390
What did this guy in this chair say

689
00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:06,059
the day after they drafted him.

690
00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:08,858
They wanted a 3 point shooter. Right. But

691
00:25:08,858 --> 00:25:11,166
this guy was concerned about his foot speed,

692
00:25:11,564 --> 00:25:13,952
his ability to play defense and all that.

693
00:25:14,762 --> 00:25:16,745
Dalton Connect in this first game goes 3

694
00:25:16,745 --> 00:25:17,221
for 12.

695
00:25:18,173 --> 00:25:20,474
Dalton Connect in the second game against Golden

696
00:25:20,633 --> 00:25:22,537
State, he goes 3 for 14.

697
00:25:23,826 --> 00:25:26,140
His livelihood should be his 3 point shot.

698
00:25:26,618 --> 00:25:29,808
He's shooting 11 percent from the arc in

699
00:25:29,808 --> 00:25:31,723
his first 2 rookie league games.

700
00:25:33,013 --> 00:25:34,524
So the lakers kids,

701
00:25:35,319 --> 00:25:37,069
not not playing real well.

702
00:25:37,784 --> 00:25:40,647
Brought 2 for 9, and connects 6 for

703
00:25:40,647 --> 00:25:41,386
25

704
00:25:41,522 --> 00:25:42,738
in his first 2

705
00:25:43,048 --> 00:25:45,996
Summer league games against other rookie who will

706
00:25:45,996 --> 00:25:47,590
be working at the car wash when they

707
00:25:47,590 --> 00:25:49,980
get caught when the summer league is over.

708
00:25:50,471 --> 00:25:51,026
So John,

709
00:25:51,819 --> 00:25:52,850
you might be the only 1 who wants

710
00:25:52,850 --> 00:25:54,356
to play for the lakers, but that's quite

711
00:25:54,356 --> 00:25:55,941
a list of guys that they did not

712
00:25:55,941 --> 00:25:56,441
get

713
00:25:56,893 --> 00:25:57,527
and the roster.

714
00:25:58,018 --> 00:26:00,239
Jeez, the roster no better now, might be

715
00:26:00,239 --> 00:26:01,825
worse now than it was before,

716
00:26:02,777 --> 00:26:04,443
even the Lebron taken a pay cut,

717
00:26:05,173 --> 00:26:06,921
to let them get into the market, try

718
00:26:06,921 --> 00:26:08,511
to find somebody else, and all the free

719
00:26:08,511 --> 00:26:10,498
agents are off the board. I mean, everybody's

720
00:26:10,498 --> 00:26:12,406
gone now. Well, it used to be that

721
00:26:12,406 --> 00:26:13,677
everyone wanted to come to La and play

722
00:26:13,677 --> 00:26:15,598
for the lake You know, Randy Newman, I

723
00:26:15,598 --> 00:26:17,663
love La. And now it... Do you think

724
00:26:17,663 --> 00:26:20,284
it's like the ne thing with Lebron and

725
00:26:20,284 --> 00:26:22,825
and all the Lebron meddling that other players

726
00:26:22,825 --> 00:26:24,190
say, you know, I I I'm not really

727
00:26:24,190 --> 00:26:26,018
interested in that. Well, they don't very much

728
00:26:26,018 --> 00:26:27,845
cap space. That's an issue that, you know,

729
00:26:28,004 --> 00:26:29,355
maybe maybe it's got to do with a

730
00:26:29,355 --> 00:26:30,388
little bit of Lebron.

731
00:26:31,118 --> 00:26:32,229
Don't if it's got much to do with

732
00:26:32,229 --> 00:26:35,561
ne because 50 fifth round picks or 50

733
00:26:35,561 --> 00:26:38,513
fifth choices in the draft, don't survive. But

734
00:26:38,513 --> 00:26:40,580
that's that's a big issue there. Maybe it's

735
00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:42,090
got something to do with Jj re that

736
00:26:42,170 --> 00:26:44,339
Jesus or Rookie coach who hadn't done anything

737
00:26:44,634 --> 00:26:46,542
from a coaching perspective, and he's gonna teach

738
00:26:46,542 --> 00:26:47,337
me to play ball.

739
00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:49,984
I don't know about that. And then the

740
00:26:49,984 --> 00:26:51,740
bigger picture is a general manager. I mean,

741
00:26:52,459 --> 00:26:54,055
you know, we've we got a Gm here,

742
00:26:54,295 --> 00:26:57,023
Rob Po, who who tried to make changes

743
00:26:57,023 --> 00:26:58,698
and changes and changes and fight the ryan

744
00:26:58,698 --> 00:27:00,930
and finding the right guys and hasn't found

745
00:27:00,930 --> 00:27:03,163
the right guys. So, I mean, it's it's

746
00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:05,077
amazing that none of those guys.

747
00:27:06,049 --> 00:27:07,807
Would wanna come here or they couldn't get

748
00:27:07,807 --> 00:27:09,484
a deal done to get these guys come

749
00:27:09,484 --> 00:27:12,360
here because nobody wants the Lakers players, You

750
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,444
know, They got 4 that we like,

751
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,464
you know, adding in reeves and brew we

752
00:27:17,464 --> 00:27:17,964
hatch.

753
00:27:18,576 --> 00:27:19,291
And after that,

754
00:27:20,498 --> 00:27:21,528
Do you want these guys for?

755
00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:23,985
And these guys aren't on guaranteed contracts. Well,

756
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:26,997
these guys had player options that Po gave

757
00:27:26,997 --> 00:27:30,373
bench considers he gave bench sitter player options

758
00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:32,895
in their contracts. And suddenly all these guys

759
00:27:32,895 --> 00:27:34,327
opted it in because they wanna keep the

760
00:27:34,327 --> 00:27:35,839
payday and where the... Yeah. They're purple and

761
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:37,684
goal and they can't freaking play. They're not

762
00:27:37,684 --> 00:27:39,753
difference makers. Some of those guys would have

763
00:27:39,753 --> 00:27:41,902
been difference makers. Yeah. And then Ronnie is

764
00:27:41,902 --> 00:27:43,494
in a difference maker, and he's a second

765
00:27:43,494 --> 00:27:45,261
round pick. I mean, I'm surprised I just

766
00:27:45,261 --> 00:27:46,616
didn't sign him as a free agent.

767
00:27:47,413 --> 00:27:49,428
But... Yeah, this is insane. Though, the the

768
00:27:49,725 --> 00:27:52,058
the weird thing you talked about the Espn

769
00:27:52,355 --> 00:27:54,441
obsession. With Ronnie James. It's a little bit

770
00:27:54,441 --> 00:27:56,352
like the obsession with Caitlyn Clark, You know?

771
00:27:56,591 --> 00:27:58,582
Next except, she can play. Well, yeah. She

772
00:27:58,582 --> 00:28:00,993
can play for sure. But it's like

773
00:28:01,703 --> 00:28:03,240
it's like the media will

774
00:28:03,777 --> 00:28:06,169
sometimes just focus and 0 in on 1

775
00:28:06,169 --> 00:28:07,764
thing over and over and over and over

776
00:28:07,764 --> 00:28:09,678
again, like you say, just to get the

777
00:28:09,678 --> 00:28:12,008
clicks. But and what a mess it is

778
00:28:12,008 --> 00:28:14,645
in in La. Yeah. I'm just... I'm absolutely

779
00:28:14,645 --> 00:28:17,362

00:32:02,146 --> 00:32:03,181
of the F foreign season.

881
00:32:03,673 --> 00:32:05,761

882
00:32:05,896 --> 00:32:08,040
former champions, Sir Lewis Hamilton.

883
00:32:08,596 --> 00:32:09,866

885
00:32:13,059 --> 00:32:16,494

00:32:20,263 --> 00:32:23,283

It had been since 20 21,

894
00:32:38,374 --> 00:32:41,315
3 years ago since Lewis Hamilton had won

895
00:32:41,315 --> 00:32:43,938
race. It was not competitive at all.

And, of course, for Snap and runs for

898
00:32:48,551 --> 00:32:51,325
team Red Bull, and he has owned f

899
00:32:51,325 --> 00:32:53,326
1 for the last year and a half,

900
00:32:53,803 --> 00:32:54,916
but since mid season,

901
00:32:55,552 --> 00:32:57,699
everybody's coming after them and people are catching

902
00:32:57,699 --> 00:33:00,561
them. He's got involved with rex. He's had

903
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:01,197
flat tires.

904
00:33:01,848 --> 00:33:02,721
Pit Sn.

905
00:33:03,355 --> 00:33:05,259
All of a sudden, Lewis Hamilton comes out

906
00:33:05,259 --> 00:33:07,719
of nowhere to win the British Grande prix.

907
00:33:08,116 --> 00:33:09,544
Absolutely stunning story.

908
00:33:10,194 --> 00:33:12,827
Because everybody was of the opinion. The Lewis

909
00:33:12,827 --> 00:33:14,982
his career was done. Team of mercedes is

910
00:33:14,982 --> 00:33:17,216
gonna lose him because he's going on ferrari

911
00:33:17,216 --> 00:33:17,775
next season.

912
00:33:18,268 --> 00:33:20,180
Gonna be fascinating to see what happens, but

913
00:33:20,180 --> 00:33:20,499
nobody.

914
00:33:21,216 --> 00:33:23,070
Nobody saw Sir Lewis

915
00:33:23,924 --> 00:33:25,996
and getting the. And there's another young driver

916
00:33:25,996 --> 00:33:28,262
by the name of landon in North Norris

917
00:33:28,396 --> 00:33:30,381
that has has run very well has won

918
00:33:30,381 --> 00:33:32,920
a racer 2 against her staff. So team

919
00:33:32,999 --> 00:33:34,666
Red Bull which own this sucker for the

920
00:33:34,666 --> 00:33:35,697
last couple years. Suddenly,

921
00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:38,664
is just not the same team. And there

922
00:33:38,664 --> 00:33:39,882
will be driver changes

923
00:33:40,260 --> 00:33:42,017
and ver staff may opt out of his

924
00:33:42,017 --> 00:33:43,613
contract. I I find it hard to believe

925
00:33:43,613 --> 00:33:45,782
that he would leave team red Bull and

926
00:33:45,782 --> 00:33:47,210
maybe go somewhere else but 1 of the

927
00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:49,750
rumors around the pad on the f 1

928
00:33:49,750 --> 00:33:51,971
series. John, auto racing alteration? Well, it seems

929
00:33:51,971 --> 00:33:53,717
like if you get the pole position,

930
00:33:54,369 --> 00:33:56,203
Right? And on the road courses. On those

931
00:33:56,203 --> 00:33:58,196
narrow courses where it's so hard to pass,

932
00:33:58,595 --> 00:34:00,350
you can put yourself in a situation where

933
00:34:00,350 --> 00:34:02,423
you start start winning 1 race after another.

934
00:34:02,662 --> 00:34:05,072
If you have horse power and handling. Yeah.

935
00:34:05,232 --> 00:34:07,070
Of course. So so what what happened with

936
00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:08,987
first Step? It is, you know, it is

937
00:34:09,945 --> 00:34:11,716
car get rem you, redo redone or they

938
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:13,630
had new strategy with the technology? No. He

939
00:34:13,630 --> 00:34:14,907
said problems handling.

940
00:34:15,385 --> 00:34:18,655
He's had problems with bumping tires with other

941
00:34:18,655 --> 00:34:20,171
drivers chasing them the corners.

942
00:34:20,824 --> 00:34:22,985
Had problems where he's made mistakes, and then

943
00:34:22,985 --> 00:34:24,125
he had a pit screw

944
00:34:24,425 --> 00:34:25,945
in terms of what type of tires to

945
00:34:25,945 --> 00:34:28,025
put on, and he never recovered from the

946
00:34:28,025 --> 00:34:30,672
the pit ph up because those those pit

947
00:34:30,672 --> 00:34:33,776
stops. 5 seconds. So it's unbelievable. You're you're

948
00:34:33,776 --> 00:34:36,084
in. These are the tires. You're out. It's

949
00:34:36,084 --> 00:34:37,676
easier. You don't put the right tires on

950
00:34:37,676 --> 00:34:38,711
or the weather changes.

951
00:34:39,124 --> 00:34:40,636
Now you're in all kinds of trouble. So

952
00:34:40,636 --> 00:34:42,467
ver had a lot of non...

953
00:34:43,263 --> 00:34:45,650
I wouldn't say non race issues, he's just

954
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:46,844
had a lot of things happened to him

955
00:34:46,844 --> 00:34:48,197
the second half of the season you say,

956
00:34:48,357 --> 00:34:48,516
wow.

957
00:34:49,804 --> 00:34:52,032
You know, everybody's catching up him, and the

958
00:34:52,192 --> 00:34:54,499
Norris kid just has no fear. He races

959
00:34:54,499 --> 00:34:56,568
his hard. He chases him down. They've rubbed

960
00:34:56,568 --> 00:34:59,132
tires, that knocked each other out. It's it's

961
00:34:59,132 --> 00:35:01,126
really weird because we're at and own. Well,

962
00:35:01,205 --> 00:35:03,119
it's good to have, you know, not the

963
00:35:03,119 --> 00:35:05,672
same guy when all the time. So gives

964
00:35:05,672 --> 00:35:07,506
fans someone else to see someone else to

965
00:35:07,506 --> 00:35:09,750
root for. Lewis Hamilton coming back is great,

966
00:35:09,909 --> 00:35:11,260
but what about some of these other younger

967
00:35:11,260 --> 00:35:13,589
drivers? Well, you get... Do you have horsepower

968
00:35:13,646 --> 00:35:15,474
do you have handling? And all these younger

969
00:35:15,474 --> 00:35:17,382
drivers and all these other teams, the answers

970
00:35:17,382 --> 00:35:17,621
no.

971
00:35:18,272 --> 00:35:20,500
And that's that's why they're gonna make more

972
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:22,728
driver changes I think at the end of

973
00:35:22,728 --> 00:35:24,478
the season. Okay. We we go from auto

974
00:35:24,478 --> 00:35:26,807
racing, Hey. If you like f 1. You

975
00:35:26,807 --> 00:35:28,645
watched it. I watch it all the time.

976
00:35:29,045 --> 00:35:30,882
04:30 in the morning. I watch it all

977
00:35:30,882 --> 00:35:32,800
the time. Just I'd like formula 1.

978
00:35:33,614 --> 00:35:35,215
In fact, they're getting bigger Tv ratings and

979
00:35:35,375 --> 00:35:37,775
Nascar getting. And, of course, Indy cars,

980
00:35:38,494 --> 00:35:40,894
Indy cars schedule is so scattered throughout the

981
00:35:40,894 --> 00:35:41,375
calendar.

982
00:35:42,029 --> 00:35:44,256
Because it... They're not running the mass number

983
00:35:44,256 --> 00:35:46,245
of races at Nasa and nascar, I think

984
00:35:46,245 --> 00:35:46,961
runs 36.

985
00:35:48,472 --> 00:35:50,541
And then so you never know when the

986
00:35:50,541 --> 00:35:52,708
next indy car races a lush or fan

987
00:35:52,708 --> 00:35:54,860
and have the calendar. Something from... So the

988
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,694
the ratings for f 1 in the United

989
00:35:56,933 --> 00:35:59,166
States are better than Nascar in any. Right

990
00:35:59,166 --> 00:36:01,257
now. See, that's kinda good in a way

991
00:36:01,257 --> 00:36:03,655
because, you know, it's more of that international

992
00:36:03,655 --> 00:36:05,514
blending. You know, it's, like, you know, European

993
00:36:05,573 --> 00:36:07,810
soccer popular here as well. I I like

994
00:36:07,810 --> 00:36:09,974
that. Well The game plan is f 1

995
00:36:09,974 --> 00:36:12,063
hopes to have 5 races in the states

996
00:36:12,516 --> 00:36:13,016
by

997
00:36:13,390 --> 00:36:14,184
20 26.

998
00:36:14,661 --> 00:36:15,559
Cool. So

999
00:36:16,190 --> 00:36:18,349
That's a group that won't allow Michael Ready

1000
00:36:18,349 --> 00:36:19,809
to join the f

1001
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:22,909
over there. Yeah. Ready Kettle. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

1002
00:36:23,069 --> 00:36:23,869
So we go from that,

1003
00:36:24,922 --> 00:36:27,077
Let's talk soccer. Then there's a lot of

1004
00:36:27,077 --> 00:36:28,913
stuff going on. Yeah. I mean, the Cop

1005
00:36:29,073 --> 00:36:31,148
America cup has just been amazing and team

1006
00:36:31,547 --> 00:36:33,157
Usa is it's gonna get under fire. Okay.

1007
00:36:33,475 --> 00:36:35,382
Let's start first of all with team Usa.

1008
00:36:36,098 --> 00:36:38,481
They won their first game in Cop America.

1009
00:36:38,958 --> 00:36:39,991
They bomb Bolivia,

1010
00:36:40,642 --> 00:36:42,311
a very impressive performance.

1011
00:36:42,789 --> 00:36:45,094
They came back the second round and they

1012
00:36:45,094 --> 00:36:46,525
got mug by Panama.

1013
00:36:47,081 --> 00:36:49,401
They came back in the third round game

1014
00:36:49,401 --> 00:36:51,252
in group play and they got

1015
00:36:51,626 --> 00:36:52,976
beaten by Uruguay.

1016
00:36:53,771 --> 00:36:54,804
It was like a rumble.

1017
00:36:55,598 --> 00:36:56,893
And the officials

1018
00:36:57,443 --> 00:36:59,117
I thought a lot a lot of cheap

1019
00:36:59,117 --> 00:37:00,871
stuff to go on, and then there was

1020
00:37:00,871 --> 00:37:03,184
the controversial off sides play that led the

1021
00:37:03,503 --> 00:37:05,416
Uruguay only goal, game winning goal.

1022
00:37:06,149 --> 00:37:08,626
And video replay had the guy off side

1023
00:37:08,626 --> 00:37:11,104
and the official from Peru didn't call it

1024
00:37:11,104 --> 00:37:13,821
that way. The end result since the moment

1025
00:37:13,821 --> 00:37:14,940
that replay was over.

1026
00:37:15,833 --> 00:37:18,225
Was that Greg Bur holt should be fired.

1027
00:37:19,103 --> 00:37:20,698
I'm kinda stunned at that.

1028
00:37:21,416 --> 00:37:23,569
A Be holt has had to rebuild this

1029
00:37:23,569 --> 00:37:24,526
thing on the fly.

1030
00:37:25,339 --> 00:37:26,778
Know, he was the coach that had a

1031
00:37:26,778 --> 00:37:29,095
pretty nice run in the last world cup

1032
00:37:29,095 --> 00:37:30,134
in 20 22,

1033
00:37:30,774 --> 00:37:32,532
and he had the 1 established guy and

1034
00:37:32,532 --> 00:37:33,811
and the young kid Christian.

1035
00:37:34,945 --> 00:37:37,184
So we're 3 years later. They've added a

1036
00:37:37,184 --> 00:37:39,184
lot of young players around them, but they're

1037
00:37:39,184 --> 00:37:39,824
just young.

1038
00:37:40,784 --> 00:37:42,224
Is still the Goatee guy.

1039
00:37:42,799 --> 00:37:44,791
But now there's a lot of fire.

1040
00:37:45,429 --> 00:37:47,900
That Greg Bur holt should be fired from

1041
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:49,733
team Usa, I asked the question.

1042
00:37:50,624 --> 00:37:54,046
Is the culture of soccer globally, the weirdest

1043
00:37:54,046 --> 00:37:55,342
thing you've ever seen

1044
00:37:56,195 --> 00:37:56,695
because

1045
00:37:57,070 --> 00:37:59,480
globally, whether you're on America whether you're in

1046
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:01,079
Mexico, whether you're in Europe.

1047
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,719
If you don't do well in tournaments,

1048
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:05,639
your coach does not get on the plane

1049
00:38:05,639 --> 00:38:07,651
to Go home gets fired. I think it's

1050
00:38:07,651 --> 00:38:09,324
a weird... It's a weird thing. You don't

1051
00:38:09,324 --> 00:38:11,076
see it in the Nfl when teams lose

1052
00:38:11,076 --> 00:38:14,103
games. Or even have substandard season, you hardly

1053
00:38:14,103 --> 00:38:15,775
ever see it in baseball or basketball.

1054
00:38:16,268 --> 00:38:18,438
You give coaches time

1055
00:38:18,973 --> 00:38:21,359
to put all these new pieces together. I

1056
00:38:21,359 --> 00:38:23,109
got 21 months before we get to the

1057
00:38:23,109 --> 00:38:24,541
world cup of 20 26.

1058
00:38:25,509 --> 00:38:27,254
I think this should lead Be holt in

1059
00:38:27,254 --> 00:38:28,785
place and let him grow

1060
00:38:29,396 --> 00:38:30,664
all the young guys around,

1061
00:38:31,299 --> 00:38:32,568
you know, that includes Rin.

1062
00:38:33,219 --> 00:38:34,173
That includes

1063
00:38:35,208 --> 00:38:37,117
the logan that includes Pepe.

1064
00:38:38,231 --> 00:38:40,300
I do think they're too young on the

1065
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:42,312
back end, full back defenders

1066
00:38:42,782 --> 00:38:45,405
He left walker Zimmerman, and I think 2

1067
00:38:45,405 --> 00:38:46,222
other veterans

1068
00:38:46,676 --> 00:38:49,458
off the Cop roster. Maybe you need to

1069
00:38:49,458 --> 00:38:50,968
go bring a few of those veterans back.

1070
00:38:51,779 --> 00:38:53,851
Gotta determine whether Matt Turner is the right

1071
00:38:53,851 --> 00:38:55,286
goalkeeper from Ml s.

1072
00:38:56,004 --> 00:38:58,635
But they've... All their young guys and 23

1073
00:38:58,635 --> 00:39:01,760
of their 26 players played abroad. They played

1074
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,355
in Europe and all these different leagues be

1075
00:39:03,355 --> 00:39:03,833
a Germany,

1076
00:39:04,631 --> 00:39:07,763
England, Spain, France. So I just think Be

1077
00:39:07,821 --> 00:39:09,815
just needs the next 21 men months.

1078
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:11,266
To make this work.

1079
00:39:11,903 --> 00:39:14,376
We should know within the next 48 hours,

1080
00:39:14,614 --> 00:39:18,920
whether bro survives this. There's big time evaluation

1081
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,683
that's started on the weekend and I think

1082
00:39:20,683 --> 00:39:22,510
it's probably still going on at this hour.

1083
00:39:24,098 --> 00:39:26,322
Speculation. If they hit the eject button on

1084
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:26,878
be holt.

1085
00:39:27,514 --> 00:39:28,546
This is so unique.

1086
00:39:29,515 --> 00:39:30,889
1 of the top goal,

1087
00:39:31,344 --> 00:39:32,161
top coaches

1088
00:39:32,695 --> 00:39:34,524
from the English premier leagues available.

1089
00:39:35,557 --> 00:39:36,432
You're k,

1090
00:39:37,545 --> 00:39:38,045
Liverpool,

1091
00:39:38,990 --> 00:39:40,813
Guys got a great coaching resume.

1092
00:39:41,367 --> 00:39:43,587
He stepped away from Liverpool at mid season.

1093
00:39:43,745 --> 00:39:45,568
He announced this will be my final season.

1094
00:39:46,379 --> 00:39:48,055
Way too much of a grind way too

1095
00:39:48,055 --> 00:39:49,114
much of a pressure

1096
00:39:49,492 --> 00:39:53,106
situation. Is age 50 7JK

1097
00:39:53,165 --> 00:39:55,320
might be the next team Usa coach.

1098
00:39:56,053 --> 00:39:56,691
Speaks English,

1099
00:39:57,328 --> 00:39:58,284
dynamic guy,

1100
00:39:59,479 --> 00:39:59,979
really

1101
00:40:00,993 --> 00:40:02,826
vibrant in terms of teaching,

1102
00:40:03,718 --> 00:40:05,712
did a really good job at a liverpool

1103
00:40:05,712 --> 00:40:07,706
for a chunk of time. The other 1

1104
00:40:07,706 --> 00:40:09,062
is a guy that's from here,

1105
00:40:09,859 --> 00:40:10,758
Stevie Cher,

1106
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:12,651
who's currently... Yeah.

1107
00:40:13,224 --> 00:40:14,522
He's... He played in Germany

1108
00:40:15,298 --> 00:40:15,798
for

1109
00:40:16,255 --> 00:40:16,755
hanover...

1110
00:40:17,212 --> 00:40:19,047
No. I think it's called Hanover 96. I

1111
00:40:19,047 --> 00:40:19,924
mean he's legendary.

1112
00:40:20,722 --> 00:40:23,709
And he's come back here and coached L

1113
00:40:23,768 --> 00:40:24,645
c and Ml.

1114
00:40:25,363 --> 00:40:27,119
And done a very, very good job that

1115
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:28,895
he's got he's got no

1116
00:40:29,671 --> 00:40:30,171
international

1117
00:40:31,444 --> 00:40:33,284
country coaching and experience. All always he's done

1118
00:40:33,284 --> 00:40:35,444
coach teams. He's not taken players from all

1119
00:40:35,444 --> 00:40:38,344
these different leagues and mold them together for

1120
00:40:38,565 --> 00:40:39,605
international world Cup play.

1121
00:40:40,417 --> 00:40:42,961
His name is is there, but I like

1122
00:40:42,961 --> 00:40:44,789
k a great deal. I think he has

1123
00:40:44,789 --> 00:40:47,731
such great credibility, but I like Be holt.

1124
00:40:48,144 --> 00:40:50,619
I just think bur needs more time. So

1125
00:40:50,619 --> 00:40:51,496
that's topic 1.

1126
00:40:52,295 --> 00:40:53,891
Topic 2, well we'll get to that in

1127
00:40:53,891 --> 00:40:55,966
a minute. Your reaction to team usa. Well,

1128
00:40:56,126 --> 00:40:57,574
I mean, how can you blame Bear holt

1129
00:40:57,574 --> 00:40:59,960
here? I? 1 of his guys got red

1130
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:02,108
card in that game again? So it was

1131
00:41:02,108 --> 00:41:04,193
the game against stuff Panama. Right? Tim W.

1132
00:41:04,433 --> 00:41:06,031
Yeah. And so they were playing 1 man

1133
00:41:06,031 --> 00:41:08,108
down, and they were still tied into the

1134
00:41:08,108 --> 00:41:10,639
into the the 80 minute zone

1135
00:41:11,076 --> 00:41:12,979
until it all broke down. And then, you,

1136
00:41:13,058 --> 00:41:14,644
there were a lot of questionable things with

1137
00:41:14,644 --> 00:41:16,706
that Va in the game, you know, the

1138
00:41:16,706 --> 00:41:19,102
third game against Uruguay. So I don't know

1139
00:41:19,102 --> 00:41:21,093
if this is really Bear fault. I think

1140
00:41:21,093 --> 00:41:23,084
you just gotta let the kids just grow.

1141
00:41:23,243 --> 00:41:25,154
Right? You know, the players have come from

1142
00:41:25,154 --> 00:41:27,559
center and said, he's our coach. Yeah. We're

1143
00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:29,553
not gonna make a change. You'd blame the

1144
00:41:29,553 --> 00:41:31,307
players if you wish. Now, Christian

1145
00:41:31,945 --> 00:41:32,823
Did make a statement.

1146
00:41:33,381 --> 00:41:36,093
He said we knew what the South American

1147
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:37,130
teams were gonna be like.

1148
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:39,688
I mean, they mug you, and they found

1149
00:41:39,688 --> 00:41:41,673
you. I think there were... In those 2

1150
00:41:41,673 --> 00:41:43,445
games were 29 foul

1151
00:41:43,818 --> 00:41:46,065
and a bunch yellow cards against the South

1152
00:41:46,225 --> 00:41:48,858
American team. Oh, unbelievable. Panama and Uruguay. He

1153
00:41:48,858 --> 00:41:52,311
said, our guys for some reason didn't respond

1154
00:41:52,464 --> 00:41:54,056
to what they knew was gonna happen. They

1155
00:41:54,056 --> 00:41:55,033
had all the video

1156
00:41:55,726 --> 00:41:57,875
of how Uruguay place, and they had what

1157
00:41:57,954 --> 00:42:00,440
Panama does, and they just I know they

1158
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,440
got bullied. They got intimidated. Maybe they were

1159
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,079
just too young.

1160
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,360
And Po got targeted. Holy counted. He get

1161
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,200
foul all over the place in games 2

1162
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,210
and 3. But he says that's our coach.

1163
00:42:10,370 --> 00:42:12,125
Just leave this thing together. Now. I don't

1164
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:14,278
know if the players carry any clout with

1165
00:42:14,278 --> 00:42:16,512
the Us soccer Federation. The other ones are

1166
00:42:16,512 --> 00:42:18,665
gonna make this decision. I think by Wednesday.

1167
00:42:19,158 --> 00:42:21,310
We'll know whether Be holt stays or whether

1168
00:42:21,310 --> 00:42:22,527
somebody goes and

1169
00:42:22,983 --> 00:42:25,613
k has got himself a great resume holy

1170
00:42:25,613 --> 00:42:27,785
cow. That would That'd be an acquisition and

1171
00:42:27,785 --> 00:42:29,065
a I half if they brought him here.

1172
00:42:29,224 --> 00:42:30,505
Yeah. It'd be hard to turn down a

1173
00:42:30,505 --> 00:42:31,465
guy like that with.

1174
00:42:32,664 --> 00:42:34,825
Okay? That's where we are with that. Let's

1175
00:42:34,825 --> 00:42:37,320
talk about what's happened with the San Diego

1176
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:37,719
wave.

1177
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:41,159
A national woman Soccer league. This is really

1178
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:41,559
ugly.

1179
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:45,340
I'll I'll use the phrase where their smoke

1180
00:42:45,893 --> 00:42:47,404
There must be some type of fire.

1181
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,813
The president Jill Ellis

1182
00:42:50,425 --> 00:42:51,085
is under

1183
00:42:51,459 --> 00:42:51,959
investigation

1184
00:42:52,334 --> 00:42:53,867
for allowing a toxic

1185
00:42:54,322 --> 00:42:55,298
workplace environment

1186
00:42:56,006 --> 00:42:58,071
to continue to operate over the last couple

1187
00:42:58,071 --> 00:42:58,730
of years

1188
00:42:59,182 --> 00:43:00,453
with female employees.

1189
00:43:01,327 --> 00:43:02,780
And I tried to determine

1190
00:43:04,518 --> 00:43:06,820
There might be a different culture in soccer

1191
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:09,916
in terms of coaches and relationships with players

1192
00:43:09,916 --> 00:43:11,821
and what is said in the locker room,

1193
00:43:12,059 --> 00:43:12,377
etcetera.

1194
00:43:13,186 --> 00:43:14,162
But from a business

1195
00:43:14,535 --> 00:43:15,035
perspective,

1196
00:43:16,043 --> 00:43:17,869
you Know, would can't get into the me

1197
00:43:17,869 --> 00:43:18,687
too era

1198
00:43:19,140 --> 00:43:21,779
with female employees. And this is a female

1199
00:43:21,779 --> 00:43:23,531
president who had a pretty good track record.

1200
00:43:24,328 --> 00:43:24,828
And

1201
00:43:25,204 --> 00:43:27,195
first 1 woman came front and center and

1202
00:43:27,195 --> 00:43:28,970
said, I was a victim of A lot

1203
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:29,346
abuse.

1204
00:43:29,918 --> 00:43:30,713
Working for her.

1205
00:43:31,429 --> 00:43:33,259
Then a second 1 came up, and then

1206
00:43:33,259 --> 00:43:35,009
a third and fourth 1 have now gone

1207
00:43:35,009 --> 00:43:35,248
public.

1208
00:43:36,043 --> 00:43:38,485
So if there's 4, there might be more

1209
00:43:38,684 --> 00:43:40,838
where there's smoke, where there is fire.

1210
00:43:41,715 --> 00:43:42,854
San Diego waves

1211
00:43:43,710 --> 00:43:45,487
front office and ownership says

1212
00:43:46,198 --> 00:43:47,952
we're doing an investigation. So we have a

1213
00:43:47,952 --> 00:43:50,286
third party from outside the circle that's doing

1214
00:43:50,583 --> 00:43:53,134
investigation. But man it it really sounds like

1215
00:43:53,134 --> 00:43:55,785
they're circling the wagon. And it's it's us

1216
00:43:55,785 --> 00:43:58,045
and the way we operate okay against them

1217
00:43:58,265 --> 00:43:59,785
who saying they were abused.

1218
00:44:00,825 --> 00:44:02,592
On top of that, They fired their coach

1219
00:44:02,592 --> 00:44:04,259
a couple weeks ago who done a really

1220
00:44:04,259 --> 00:44:04,735
good job,

1221
00:44:05,369 --> 00:44:08,306
and they they're not winning at all. They

1222
00:44:08,306 --> 00:44:11,024
are 3 7 and 6. That won 3

1223
00:44:11,024 --> 00:44:13,887
of 16 games, they're not scoring goals. So

1224
00:44:13,887 --> 00:44:16,530
that the team is really with with came

1225
00:44:16,530 --> 00:44:18,309
out of the gate here and was very

1226
00:44:18,369 --> 00:44:18,769
successful.

1227
00:44:19,489 --> 00:44:22,210
And Alex Morgan can't score goals, nobody's scored

1228
00:44:22,210 --> 00:44:24,690
goals. So the roster makeup is the big

1229
00:44:24,690 --> 00:44:26,941
issue right now, but This is this not

1230
00:44:26,941 --> 00:44:28,079
a good look

1231
00:44:28,695 --> 00:44:30,312
for Jill Ellis, and

1232
00:44:31,088 --> 00:44:32,684
I hate... Hate do the word cover up.

1233
00:44:33,003 --> 00:44:33,880
But like I say,

1234
00:44:34,598 --> 00:44:36,523
smoke and fire You got 1, and then

1235
00:44:36,523 --> 00:44:38,427
you got 2. Now you got 4 employees.

1236
00:44:38,665 --> 00:44:40,807
All female have said, we've all been abused

1237
00:44:40,807 --> 00:44:42,553
by this person. That sound a good look

1238
00:44:42,553 --> 00:44:44,472
at all. Well, what kind of abuse? Is

1239
00:44:44,472 --> 00:44:46,377
it just, like a boss yelling at an

1240
00:44:46,377 --> 00:44:48,758
employee, but it's not like a sexual thing

1241
00:44:48,758 --> 00:44:51,297
or a physical thing? It's just, you know,

1242
00:44:51,789 --> 00:44:54,179
you have a pretty dominant boss. Right? Well,

1243
00:44:54,498 --> 00:44:56,490
we don't know the specifics, you know,

1244
00:44:57,686 --> 00:44:58,186
intimidation

1245
00:44:58,722 --> 00:44:59,222
threats

1246
00:44:59,612 --> 00:45:01,914
that stuff goes on. You know, national football,

1247
00:45:01,993 --> 00:45:04,534
they had a real serious situation with Arizona

1248
00:45:04,613 --> 00:45:06,280
Cardinals about a year a half ago of

1249
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,684
Michael Goodwill. Right. A lot of front office

1250
00:45:08,684 --> 00:45:11,077
people left just because of how they were

1251
00:45:11,077 --> 00:45:13,151
bullied and hell they were treated as employees

1252
00:45:13,151 --> 00:45:15,783
by the president owner of the team and

1253
00:45:15,783 --> 00:45:19,560
tap the 5 top 5 executives under goodwill

1254
00:45:19,695 --> 00:45:22,476
on the organizational chart all were removed.

1255
00:45:23,270 --> 00:45:25,415
So like I said, where there's smoke there's

1256
00:45:25,415 --> 00:45:27,659
fire. I'm sure the story is is not

1257
00:45:27,659 --> 00:45:29,816
gonna go away. Okay. Let's go from that.

1258
00:45:30,135 --> 00:45:32,213
Let's talk about the next topic on the

1259
00:45:32,213 --> 00:45:33,890
table. We still got games to be played.

1260
00:45:34,050 --> 00:45:35,900
Yeah. I mean, of, you know, penalty kicks

1261
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:37,574
in this particular term. It's spent a lot

1262
00:45:37,574 --> 00:45:39,089
of fun a lot. Yeah. We're talking about

1263
00:45:39,089 --> 00:45:41,104
the Euro cup, which is running simultaneously

1264
00:45:41,481 --> 00:45:44,601
to Cop America here. Austin great what's going

1265
00:45:44,601 --> 00:45:46,612
on in in Euro cup upsets

1266
00:45:47,862 --> 00:45:48,101
everywhere.

1267
00:45:49,215 --> 00:45:51,362
The euro semi finals start tomorrow.

1268
00:45:52,014 --> 00:45:53,686
You got Spain versus France.

1269
00:45:54,641 --> 00:45:57,530
France has gotten into the semi finals

1270
00:45:58,066 --> 00:45:59,840
with hardly any productivity

1271
00:46:00,630 --> 00:46:01,829
from Collie and Mbappe.

1272
00:46:02,630 --> 00:46:04,550
He said all types of injuries. Now he's

1273
00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:06,469
played a little. He's scored a goal, but

1274
00:46:06,469 --> 00:46:08,230
he hasn't played all the games in the

1275
00:46:08,230 --> 00:46:08,550
tournament,

1276
00:46:09,044 --> 00:46:11,592
It's kind of an iffy proposition. So that's

1277
00:46:11,592 --> 00:46:14,221
1 semi final. The spaniards against the French.

1278
00:46:14,937 --> 00:46:17,088
The other semi final is the team that

1279
00:46:17,088 --> 00:46:19,565
has been in and controversy from the first

1280
00:46:19,565 --> 00:46:21,390
game they played this tournament, and they're still

1281
00:46:21,390 --> 00:46:21,628
playing.

1282
00:46:22,819 --> 00:46:23,954
England, Harry Kane

1283
00:46:24,406 --> 00:46:26,175
against the Dutch, the Netherlands

1284
00:46:26,724 --> 00:46:29,198
That's the second semi final. That thing could

1285
00:46:29,198 --> 00:46:31,194
be wide open because England has just played

1286
00:46:31,194 --> 00:46:33,429
really well coming out of a tough group.

1287
00:46:34,626 --> 00:46:35,105
Netherlands,

1288
00:46:35,994 --> 00:46:38,930
has not quite been what Dutch soccer has

1289
00:46:38,930 --> 00:46:39,430
been

1290
00:46:39,803 --> 00:46:42,183
in the last 5 to 10 years globally.

1291
00:46:42,835 --> 00:46:44,534
We got the 2 semi final games

1292
00:46:44,835 --> 00:46:45,394
in Europe.

1293
00:46:46,114 --> 00:46:47,235
And who's not playing?

1294
00:46:48,275 --> 00:46:48,514
Well,

1295
00:46:49,074 --> 00:46:49,795
Portugal gone.

1296
00:46:51,008 --> 00:46:52,838
Cri ronaldo, gone,

1297
00:46:54,349 --> 00:46:56,179
age probably more than anything.

1298
00:46:56,735 --> 00:46:59,063
Has done him in There is no Germany.

1299
00:46:59,223 --> 00:47:01,221
That looks like a team that's in transition

1300
00:47:01,221 --> 00:47:03,777
and, you know, historically, Germany has been a

1301
00:47:03,777 --> 00:47:04,097
phenomenal,

1302
00:47:04,737 --> 00:47:05,855
international global power.

1303
00:47:06,988 --> 00:47:09,322
Italy's gone. They're blaming the coach are not

1304
00:47:09,539 --> 00:47:09,699
situation.

1305
00:47:11,213 --> 00:47:13,047
And what name is missing from the semi

1306
00:47:13,047 --> 00:47:13,286
finals.

1307
00:47:14,004 --> 00:47:14,880
People invented the game.

1308
00:47:15,614 --> 00:47:15,775
Brazil.

1309
00:47:16,815 --> 00:47:18,815
Brazil is not there? How is that possible?

1310
00:47:19,614 --> 00:47:21,134
Brazil has not gotten of the semi files.

1311
00:47:21,295 --> 00:47:22,815
They couldn't score goals and they lost out

1312
00:47:22,815 --> 00:47:24,820
on penalty kicks. Yeah. And Cop. Yeah. Yeah.

1313
00:47:25,058 --> 00:47:28,075
So just absolutely amazing what's happened in euro.

1314
00:47:28,234 --> 00:47:29,345
And in terms of Cop,

1315
00:47:29,901 --> 00:47:31,092
the Cop semi finals,

1316
00:47:32,224 --> 00:47:33,023
Uruguay, Columbia.

1317
00:47:33,742 --> 00:47:35,340
You think they're gonna be some yellow cards

1318
00:47:35,340 --> 00:47:37,338
and foul. That game the way you're uruguay

1319
00:47:37,338 --> 00:47:37,657
place.

1320
00:47:38,217 --> 00:47:39,495
They're in 1 semi final?

1321
00:47:40,229 --> 00:47:41,264
And Lionel Messi.

1322
00:47:42,298 --> 00:47:44,526
Maybe farewell game. Farewell weekend.

1323
00:47:45,083 --> 00:47:45,401
Messi,

1324
00:47:45,958 --> 00:47:46,458
Argentina

1325
00:47:46,833 --> 00:47:49,323
versus the surprise of a mall team Canada

1326
00:47:49,793 --> 00:47:52,576
is still playing in Cop America. It's been

1327
00:47:52,576 --> 00:47:54,723
fun to watch. I've that, you know, once

1328
00:47:54,723 --> 00:47:56,869
once Mexico got knocked out and group play

1329
00:47:56,869 --> 00:47:57,903
in teen Usa,

1330
00:47:58,539 --> 00:48:00,469
got run out. Or foul out.

1331
00:48:01,750 --> 00:48:03,829
I didn't watch much cop after that. I

1332
00:48:03,989 --> 00:48:05,929
I zeroed in a lot more on European

1333
00:48:05,989 --> 00:48:08,722
soccer. I'm just huge fan of the English

1334
00:48:08,722 --> 00:48:10,561
3 lions. So I've been watching a lot

1335
00:48:10,561 --> 00:48:12,559
of that. Yeah... It's been great. I've been

1336
00:48:12,559 --> 00:48:14,796
watching games in both tournaments and I'm trying

1337
00:48:14,796 --> 00:48:17,288
to remember because 1 of them They they

1338
00:48:17,288 --> 00:48:19,443
were tied after regulation, and then they went

1339
00:48:19,443 --> 00:48:21,918
to a single overtime period and then penalty

1340
00:48:21,918 --> 00:48:24,233
kicks. Right. And then there was another example

1341
00:48:24,233 --> 00:48:25,670
where they didn't go to overtime at all.

1342
00:48:26,003 --> 00:48:28,309
Went directly to penalty kicks. I think 1

1343
00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:29,660
of those is in the Euro cup and

1344
00:48:29,660 --> 00:48:30,932
1 of them was in Cop. I was

1345
00:48:30,932 --> 00:48:33,555
getting it mixed up, but it's really exciting.

1346
00:48:33,714 --> 00:48:34,907
So 1 of the 1 of the games

1347
00:48:34,907 --> 00:48:36,990
was once team had... I might have been

1348
00:48:36,990 --> 00:48:39,376
an England had fought... They made 5 penalty

1349
00:48:39,376 --> 00:48:39,615
shots,

1350
00:48:40,410 --> 00:48:41,683
you know, in the shootout out. Oh, yeah.

1351
00:48:42,574 --> 00:48:45,290
Pretty impressive. So this is kinda cool. I

1352
00:48:45,290 --> 00:48:46,888
mean, this is not World Cup soccer, but

1353
00:48:46,888 --> 00:48:48,805
this is better than the Olympics, etcetera.

1354
00:48:49,459 --> 00:48:51,532
So that... That's gonna remember back when the

1355
00:48:51,612 --> 00:48:53,844
World Cup was in America 19 94.

1356
00:48:54,323 --> 00:48:56,577
And I think 1 of the Colombian players

1357
00:48:56,875 --> 00:48:58,150
accidentally had an own goal.

1358
00:48:58,804 --> 00:49:00,565
And didn't he get knocked out by some

1359
00:49:00,565 --> 00:49:02,565
of the cartel guys didn't he get taken

1360
00:49:02,565 --> 00:49:04,244
shot. The week after it was over. Exactly.

1361
00:49:04,405 --> 00:49:06,339
I think it was a Brazilian defender. Was

1362
00:49:06,339 --> 00:49:09,776
a Brazilian. Okay. Yeah. Brutal. I mean, they

1363
00:49:09,776 --> 00:49:12,652
take soccer seriously there. Oh, they do. Okay.

1364

your fault. Ready. Set go. Okay. Let's go

1393
00:50:18,007 --> 00:50:19,914
here to t Will. He says, first thing

1394
00:50:20,074 --> 00:50:22,061
I hear when I join is yankee keys

1395
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:25,341
are an absolute mess. Good start. All, the

1396
00:50:25,341 --> 00:50:27,098
yankee have been bishop by injuries.

1397
00:50:27,816 --> 00:50:29,493
You know, they they were in first place

1398
00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:30,451
and they were red hot.

1399
00:50:31,170 --> 00:50:33,585
So had 2 different minor injuries

1400
00:50:34,218 --> 00:50:36,693
Stan is currently on the disable list. They've

1401
00:50:36,693 --> 00:50:39,247
gotten virtually nothing from the 300 hit Dj

1402
00:50:39,327 --> 00:50:41,083
Le for a year and a half. He's

1403
00:50:41,083 --> 00:50:42,520
said multiples of injuries.

1404
00:50:43,653 --> 00:50:46,550
Gl torres got hurt, then so

1405
00:50:47,089 --> 00:50:48,767
had 2 minor injuries, but he was out

1406
00:50:48,767 --> 00:50:49,406
of the lineup.

1407
00:50:50,778 --> 00:50:52,932
They don't have catching right now, which is

1408
00:50:52,932 --> 00:50:53,809
a big issue.

1409
00:50:54,687 --> 00:50:56,282
I bet they wish they still had the

1410
00:50:56,282 --> 00:50:58,595
catch they traded into the Pod, Kyle here

1411
00:50:58,595 --> 00:50:58,914
s.

1412
00:50:59,791 --> 00:51:00,291
But

1413
00:51:00,684 --> 00:51:03,157
Yankee yankee gonna make some deals. They went

1414
00:51:03,157 --> 00:51:05,071
through a stretch. They lost 15 of 20.

1415
00:51:05,390 --> 00:51:06,905
This is a New York Yankee team that

1416
00:51:06,905 --> 00:51:10,255
was 51 and 29. Mh. It lost 15

1417
00:51:10,255 --> 00:51:11,228
of 20 games.

1418
00:51:11,867 --> 00:51:14,900
And now they're behind La Baltimore Memorial.

1419
00:51:15,538 --> 00:51:18,013
They just can't keep people on the, anthony

1420
00:51:18,172 --> 00:51:19,370
R been gone forever.

1421
00:51:19,942 --> 00:51:21,930
For had the concussion last year, then he

1422
00:51:21,930 --> 00:51:24,077
they got he got hurt again. So the

1423
00:51:24,077 --> 00:51:26,224
yankee are kinda a patchwork franchise right now.

1424
00:51:26,382 --> 00:51:27,496
So, yeah, They got problems.

1425
00:51:28,309 --> 00:51:29,909
They're gonna have to make some deals to

1426
00:51:29,909 --> 00:51:31,670
try to... Get to get another picture. And

1427
00:51:31,829 --> 00:51:34,230
Ge ko not come back to be what

1428
00:51:34,230 --> 00:51:36,741
he was prior to the spring training

1429
00:51:37,353 --> 00:51:39,657
injury that he had. It's interesting that they

1430
00:51:39,657 --> 00:51:41,801
went through that that losing stretch because when

1431
00:51:41,801 --> 00:51:43,786
they played... The yankee played the Pod race,

1432
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:46,425
I mean, it was lopsided. That practice. It

1433
00:51:46,425 --> 00:51:48,731
was unbelievable. Yeah. And so to see them

1434
00:51:48,731 --> 00:51:50,719
switch like this is incredible But Aaron judge

1435
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:51,753
is having a hell of a year. I

1436
00:51:51,753 --> 00:51:53,026
mean, he's gotta be the front runner for

1437
00:51:53,026 --> 00:51:55,513
the Mvp. Right? Oh, very much so. Mh.

1438
00:51:55,673 --> 00:51:56,712
You know as long as it doesn't run

1439
00:51:56,712 --> 00:51:58,710
into any more fences, but he's sitting for

1440
00:51:58,710 --> 00:52:00,947
average. And I think last I checked. You

1441
00:52:00,947 --> 00:52:02,945
might have had 34 home runs going into

1442
00:52:02,945 --> 00:52:03,505
the weekend.

1443
00:52:04,159 --> 00:52:05,679
So, I mean he's had had a really

1444
00:52:05,679 --> 00:52:06,239
good season.

1445
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,719
But we still got the back half of

1446
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,559
the schedule coming out of the All star

1447
00:52:10,559 --> 00:52:12,320
break and then, of course, the July 30

1448
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,413
first trade deadline and the Yankee, I think

1449
00:52:14,413 --> 00:52:16,730
the Yankee are gonna be a player in

1450
00:52:16,730 --> 00:52:18,727
terms of acquisitions. Yeah. We're gonna find out

1451
00:52:18,727 --> 00:52:20,405
who the hot free agents are. But everyone

1452
00:52:20,405 --> 00:52:22,179
needs pitching. Alright. Let's go here to Call.

1453
00:52:22,579 --> 00:52:24,980
He says saw. Usually, I'm on the hockey

1454
00:52:24,980 --> 00:52:26,820
hotline, but let me corner kick you this

1455
00:52:26,820 --> 00:52:29,539
question. If the Us men's national team Cans

1456
00:52:29,699 --> 00:52:32,110
Greg Be holt can they truly bring in

1457
00:52:32,110 --> 00:52:34,024
a big name or are we wasting this

1458
00:52:34,024 --> 00:52:35,938
team's talent? Well, I don't think you're wasting

1459
00:52:35,938 --> 00:52:38,012
the talent because the prep proponents of of

1460
00:52:38,012 --> 00:52:40,736
the roster that he's put out there? Are

1461
00:52:40,736 --> 00:52:41,688
really, really young.

1462
00:52:42,402 --> 00:52:42,641
You know,

1463
00:52:43,514 --> 00:52:45,339
Has grown to become a man. And I

1464
00:52:45,339 --> 00:52:47,005
did John and I are soccer fans, and

1465
00:52:47,005 --> 00:52:48,513
we've seen him grow from an 18 year

1466
00:52:48,513 --> 00:52:51,396
old who's gone abroad and played a little

1467
00:52:51,396 --> 00:52:53,150
bit at Chelsea wasn't given much of a

1468
00:52:53,150 --> 00:52:55,223
chance. Went to Ac Milan and played really

1469
00:52:55,223 --> 00:52:57,136
well in the Italian league.

1470
00:52:58,028 --> 00:53:00,101
And his come back. He looks so different

1471
00:53:00,101 --> 00:53:00,579
right now.

1472
00:53:04,884 --> 00:53:07,689
Necessarily subscribe that you didn't do walnut in

1473
00:53:07,689 --> 00:53:09,601
any tournaments so we're gonna fire. You have

1474
00:53:09,601 --> 00:53:11,274
to stop changing guys. Gotta let this thing

1475
00:53:11,274 --> 00:53:13,346
grow a little bit. But the story that

1476
00:53:13,346 --> 00:53:15,418
broke this morning out of London, England and

1477
00:53:15,418 --> 00:53:15,896
the Guardian.

1478
00:53:16,708 --> 00:53:18,860
The, you know, J k. That's a hell

1479
00:53:18,860 --> 00:53:20,136
of a coach. That's a hell, a lot

1480
00:53:20,136 --> 00:53:20,854
of credentials.

1481
00:53:22,130 --> 00:53:23,963
And if he wanted to, if you want

1482
00:53:23,963 --> 00:53:25,732
to come to the Us and I mean,

1483
00:53:25,891 --> 00:53:28,357
he's such a persona, and he speaks English.

1484
00:53:28,516 --> 00:53:30,743
She's not like some member of the foreign

1485
00:53:30,743 --> 00:53:33,309
legion you can't communicate with. He's got great

1486
00:53:33,309 --> 00:53:35,010
great resume. So

1487
00:53:35,469 --> 00:53:37,730
I don't, we'll find out. I've been told

1488
00:53:37,789 --> 00:53:39,869
we're gonna know by Wednesday whether be holt

1489
00:53:39,869 --> 00:53:41,963
stays or not. Yeah. I'm I'm anxious to

1490
00:53:41,963 --> 00:53:43,721
find this out as well, but you're right.

1491
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:44,920
They have a lot of really good talent,

1492
00:53:44,999 --> 00:53:47,317
like Ricardo Pepe. All these young kids, is

1493
00:53:47,317 --> 00:53:49,806
this the best era in terms of talent

1494
00:53:49,806 --> 00:53:52,351
for team Usa. They've grown into it. I

1495
00:53:52,351 --> 00:53:54,418
mean, they've developed that. And the fact that

1496
00:53:54,418 --> 00:53:56,349
23 of the 26 members

1497
00:53:56,882 --> 00:53:59,521
on the Cop Roster from Team Usa played

1498
00:53:59,521 --> 00:54:01,908
abroad. And broad us where your learning curve

1499
00:54:01,908 --> 00:54:04,215
is. Now, they've gotta go through a learning

1500
00:54:04,215 --> 00:54:05,806
curve on a short work schedule,

1501
00:54:06,380 --> 00:54:08,059
to get used to playing with Can get

1502
00:54:08,059 --> 00:54:09,260
used to playing with each other.

1503
00:54:09,820 --> 00:54:10,320
So

1504
00:54:11,019 --> 00:54:13,179
I I still think the best of Us

1505
00:54:13,179 --> 00:54:14,860
soccer is still to come, and they got

1506
00:54:14,860 --> 00:54:15,795
21 months

1507
00:54:16,153 --> 00:54:17,849
to a get to the world cup. So

1508
00:54:18,226 --> 00:54:19,204
I guess, I'm

1509
00:54:19,661 --> 00:54:21,733
I'm standing on the island by myself again.

1510
00:54:22,052 --> 00:54:23,646
I'm taking a very different opinion.

1511
00:54:24,299 --> 00:54:26,054
I think they should keep her holt. Though.

1512
00:54:26,373 --> 00:54:28,867
I'm fascinated with the story out of London

1513
00:54:29,244 --> 00:54:31,238
about k. Yeah. I mean, it'd be great

1514
00:54:31,238 --> 00:54:33,391
to have, like a like a cool euro

1515
00:54:33,391 --> 00:54:33,631
coach.

1516
00:54:34,284 --> 00:54:35,800
Can raise this team up, but we did

1517
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,636
that before with the the... Who was the

1518
00:54:37,636 --> 00:54:39,072
guy we had from Germany, like, in the

1519
00:54:39,072 --> 00:54:42,026
last couple rounds. Ge k. Yeah. Exactly. So

1520
00:54:42,026 --> 00:54:43,875
who knows? What's gonna happen here. That's course

1521
00:54:43,875 --> 00:54:45,471
question. Alright. Let's move on. Let's go here

1522
00:54:45,471 --> 00:54:47,943
to Jeff. He says, maybe players don't want

1523
00:54:48,262 --> 00:54:48,900
Lebron coach.

1524
00:54:49,618 --> 00:54:51,532
I mean, jj j Red. Raphael.

1525
00:54:53,380 --> 00:54:53,880
It

1526
00:54:54,414 --> 00:54:57,516
it's shocking to me that all those marquee

1527
00:54:57,516 --> 00:54:59,447
names of veteran Nba players

1528
00:55:00,157 --> 00:55:01,514
who would you would've have thought would have

1529
00:55:01,514 --> 00:55:03,268
laid down on the street to stop the

1530
00:55:03,268 --> 00:55:05,581
traffic so they could walk and suit up

1531
00:55:05,581 --> 00:55:07,575
for the lakers, none of them got here.

1532
00:55:08,532 --> 00:55:10,301
And nobody wants the r raf on the

1533
00:55:10,381 --> 00:55:12,851
Lakers roster from player 5 through the bottom

1534
00:55:12,851 --> 00:55:13,590
of the bench

1535
00:55:13,966 --> 00:55:14,785
because the lakers

1536
00:55:15,958 --> 00:55:18,029
because of the salary situation, if they've taken

1537
00:55:18,029 --> 00:55:19,637
on salary, they had a mood salary.

1538
00:55:20,275 --> 00:55:23,063
And Golden State was interested in talking and

1539
00:55:23,143 --> 00:55:24,975
Clay Thompson was interested in coming and met

1540
00:55:24,975 --> 00:55:26,090
with him on Saturday night.

1541
00:55:27,217 --> 00:55:29,227
Right prior to the draft, and then

1542
00:55:29,601 --> 00:55:31,190
didn't get the deal done because Golden State

1543
00:55:31,190 --> 00:55:33,573
did not wanna take on the Jared Van

1544
00:55:33,573 --> 00:55:34,367
builds of the world.

1545
00:55:35,338 --> 00:55:36,775
And the cam re registers of the world.

1546
00:55:37,094 --> 00:55:38,930
And the shocker to me is the general

1547
00:55:38,930 --> 00:55:39,329
manager,

1548
00:55:39,887 --> 00:55:42,521
Rob Paul gave a whole bunch of these

1549
00:55:42,521 --> 00:55:43,341
bench sitter

1550
00:55:43,973 --> 00:55:45,169
opt in contracts.

1551
00:55:46,206 --> 00:55:48,200
So if the guy plays, where they plays

1552
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:49,795
good plays bad, he has the right to

1553
00:55:49,795 --> 00:55:51,710
opt in and get another payday for another

1554
00:55:51,710 --> 00:55:53,145
year, had 4 of them.

1555
00:55:54,119 --> 00:55:55,880
Guys that are not start 4 of them.

1556
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,119
I'll all opted in and ate up all

1557
00:55:58,119 --> 00:56:00,280
the money that the lakers might have had

1558
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:00,680
available.

1559
00:56:01,094 --> 00:56:02,919
To Go get Clay thompson, etcetera so to

1560
00:56:02,919 --> 00:56:04,664
me. It's just it's amazing.

1561
00:56:05,220 --> 00:56:07,045
But I will say this, and I... I

1562
00:56:07,045 --> 00:56:08,289
don't understand this

1563
00:56:09,043 --> 00:56:11,106
White lake fan hates on Lebron James.

1564
00:56:11,899 --> 00:56:13,723
Because all he's done is given his all

1565
00:56:13,723 --> 00:56:16,182
as an aging player who's fought through injuries.

1566
00:56:16,912 --> 00:56:18,505
And, you know you know 2 things about

1567
00:56:18,743 --> 00:56:20,892
Lebron. He'll have the basketball on his hand

1568
00:56:20,892 --> 00:56:22,246
at the most important time of the game

1569
00:56:22,246 --> 00:56:23,599
and in the most important games in the

1570
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:23,838
season.

1571
00:56:24,648 --> 00:56:26,397
And he will leave it on the floor

1572
00:56:26,397 --> 00:56:28,463
as an age 38 or 39 year old

1573
00:56:28,463 --> 00:56:31,030
player and dude average 26 points and

1574
00:56:31,404 --> 00:56:33,798
7 rebound and 7 assists a game whatever

1575
00:56:33,798 --> 00:56:36,096
the magical numbers, You know, if you didn't

1576
00:56:36,096 --> 00:56:36,650
have Lebron,

1577
00:56:37,284 --> 00:56:39,106
what kind of team would you be? Well,

1578
00:56:39,439 --> 00:56:41,274
if they didn't have Lebron. They might have

1579
00:56:41,274 --> 00:56:43,666
2 or 3 superstars rather than having all

1580
00:56:43,666 --> 00:56:46,538
their eggs in the La Lebron basket. So,

1581
00:56:46,697 --> 00:56:48,851
I mean, lakers fans, they wanna win. I

1582
00:56:48,851 --> 00:56:50,703
mean, that's what the tradition has always been.

1583
00:56:51,102 --> 00:56:53,019
And, you know, with the exception of the

1584
00:56:53,019 --> 00:56:55,097
bubble in 20 20 in the shortened season,

1585
00:56:55,577 --> 00:56:56,535
Lebron, ain't 1 nothing.

1586
00:56:57,268 --> 00:56:59,017
So, yeah. I mean, if I'm lake fan,

1587
00:56:59,255 --> 00:57:01,560
I'm upset, this isn't working. Okay. Got a

1588
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,468
new coach, jj re, We'll see what happens.

1589
00:57:03,945 --> 00:57:05,630
But if all these stars don't wanna come

1590
00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:07,061
to La. I mean, you're back, you're just

1591
00:57:07,061 --> 00:57:08,811
a mid teen. You're just in the mix.

1592
00:57:08,970 --> 00:57:10,402
Like you say, they'll be like, the seventh

1593
00:57:10,402 --> 00:57:12,390
or eighth of seed in the west. You

1594
00:57:12,390 --> 00:57:13,185
know, it's this mediocre.

1595
00:57:13,836 --> 00:57:14,336
Mediocrity

1596
00:57:15,029 --> 00:57:17,414
is thy name. Next question. Okay. Let's go

1597
00:57:17,414 --> 00:57:19,958
here to running man. Yes, Agree with you

1598
00:57:19,958 --> 00:57:22,596
totally about bauer. Get him into the lineup

1599
00:57:22,596 --> 00:57:25,536
with strings attached. If he screws up, he's

1600
00:57:25,536 --> 00:57:29,034
gone. Exactly. Second chance, 8 aka, last chance

1601
00:57:29,034 --> 00:57:29,828
for Trevor Bauer.

1602
00:57:30,876 --> 00:57:32,699
I don't see anybody else out there that

1603
00:57:32,699 --> 00:57:34,681
you can get without having to give up

1604
00:57:34,681 --> 00:57:36,108
something real significant,

1605
00:57:36,583 --> 00:57:38,144
top player a aaa or

1606
00:57:38,662 --> 00:57:40,495
some of the unique names at Aa,

1607
00:57:42,009 --> 00:57:44,558
Trevor bowers a phone call away. And you

1608
00:57:44,558 --> 00:57:46,072
dictate the terms because he wants to be

1609
00:57:46,072 --> 00:57:47,800
back in major League baseball and if he

1610
00:57:47,919 --> 00:57:50,938
screws up, he steps outside the line. He

1611
00:57:50,938 --> 00:57:51,813
loses everything.

1612
00:57:52,448 --> 00:57:54,832
Second chance is last chance for Trevor Bauer.

1613
00:57:55,324 --> 00:57:57,789
And I'm surprised, there is nobody in the

1614
00:57:57,789 --> 00:57:59,539
working media in San Diego.

1615
00:58:00,255 --> 00:58:01,766
They wants to bring that name up and

1616
00:58:01,766 --> 00:58:03,809
even talk about that name or create a

1617
00:58:03,929 --> 00:58:06,159
story with that then, why not? I don't

1618
00:58:06,159 --> 00:58:08,389
understand it. Ut writes about everything.

1619
00:58:09,026 --> 00:58:10,460
While you're not writing about a guy it's

1620
00:58:10,460 --> 00:58:12,451
10 o with a 1.66 Era,

1621
00:58:12,943 --> 00:58:14,610
who's got an... I think it's an 89

1622
00:58:14,610 --> 00:58:16,118
and 53 career record.

1623
00:58:17,150 --> 00:58:19,213
Why you're not covering that angle of the

1624
00:58:19,213 --> 00:58:21,611
story with a team, the desperately try to

1625
00:58:21,611 --> 00:58:23,440
chase down the dodgers and it's got all

1626
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,586
types of pitching problems. They just don't wanna

1627
00:58:25,586 --> 00:58:27,335
touch that third rail. Right? I mean, that's

1628
00:58:27,335 --> 00:58:27,812
what this is.

1629
00:58:28,543 --> 00:58:31,406
Everyone thinks it bauer a bad guy. And

1630
00:58:31,406 --> 00:58:34,111
he does have a track record, but on

1631
00:58:34,111 --> 00:58:36,657
the most recent charges, the dude is innocent.

1632
00:58:37,228 --> 00:58:40,173
And it's it's it's injustice that he's being

1633
00:58:40,173 --> 00:58:42,004
blacklisted by that major league baseball.

1634
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:45,506
Pod raised Dodgers, angels, every 1 of them

1635
00:58:45,506 --> 00:58:47,988
could use this guy. So someone's gotta sign

1636
00:58:47,988 --> 00:58:49,500
him. Right. You know, and the other 1

1637
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:51,012
that's out there, but, you know, if you

1638
00:58:51,012 --> 00:58:51,410
got him,

1639
00:58:52,286 --> 00:58:53,956
he wouldn't be ready for a month at

1640
00:58:53,956 --> 00:58:56,433
most, is is Julio Urea, the former Messiah

1641
00:58:56,433 --> 00:58:57,148
young award winner.

1642
00:58:57,941 --> 00:58:59,528
I mean, he's... You know, he has never

1643
00:58:59,528 --> 00:59:02,227
been charged now. He is free to sign

1644
00:59:02,227 --> 00:59:02,704
with the club.

1645
00:59:03,354 --> 00:59:04,551
And I don't know where he is if

1646
00:59:04,551 --> 00:59:05,988
he's in La or he's going back to

1647
00:59:06,068 --> 00:59:09,739
Mexico, but that's a young live arm. Stupid.

1648
00:59:09,978 --> 00:59:10,297
Yes.

1649
00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:13,583
But I mean, there's so many teams that

1650
00:59:13,583 --> 00:59:16,056
have so many pitching problems. But Am I

1651
00:59:16,056 --> 00:59:18,129
the only 1 that's impressed with Bauer going

1652
00:59:18,129 --> 00:59:20,123
10 o with a 1 point 66E right

1653
00:59:20,203 --> 00:59:22,369
After what he did in And last season,

1654
00:59:23,403 --> 00:59:26,425
amazing storyline. Next question... Next question, T will

1655
00:59:26,425 --> 00:59:28,389
add another 1 I thought is good. So

1656
00:59:28,588 --> 00:59:30,652
we're saying the Lebron James is basically Paul

1657
00:59:30,732 --> 00:59:31,764
Newman from slap snapshot.

1658
00:59:33,035 --> 00:59:36,132
No. Because Paul Newman couldn't play hockey at

1659
00:59:36,132 --> 00:59:37,775
that point of his career in that high

1660
00:59:38,134 --> 00:59:40,129
movie. Lebron James can play.

1661
00:59:42,284 --> 00:59:43,161
Sphere of influence,

1662
00:59:44,279 --> 00:59:46,170
the pain public because of the opinion that

1663
00:59:46,447 --> 00:59:48,035
Lebron fingerprints are on everything.

1664
00:59:48,432 --> 00:59:50,282
Well, they are. At the at the Lakers

1665
00:59:51,131 --> 00:59:51,925
arena. So...

1666
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:53,592
But at the end of the day,

1667
00:59:54,721 --> 00:59:56,949
They just don't have the right mixture of

1668
00:59:56,949 --> 00:59:58,939
players nor do they have the draft picks

1669
00:59:58,939 --> 01:00:01,349
to use his assets to make deals and

1670
01:00:02,139 --> 01:00:03,737
Guys just don't wanna play in La for

1671
01:00:03,737 --> 01:00:05,735
the lakers. It's just amazing. Do you think...

1672
01:00:06,054 --> 01:00:07,493
You know, you have all those players on

1673
01:00:07,493 --> 01:00:09,810
the roster, the seventh ninth twelfth guy and

1674
01:00:09,810 --> 01:00:10,210
the bench.

1675
01:00:10,863 --> 01:00:13,357
They opted in. But do you think Paul

1676
01:00:13,495 --> 01:00:15,728
did what Aj Pre did, where he gave

1677
01:00:15,728 --> 01:00:16,228
them

1678
01:00:16,925 --> 01:00:19,158
too attractive of a of a deal, just

1679
01:00:19,158 --> 01:00:21,648
to lure them in and now he's paying

1680
01:00:21,648 --> 01:00:23,485
the price. Well, he's paying the price.

1681
01:00:24,205 --> 01:00:25,744
Again, they were restricted

1682
01:00:26,123 --> 01:00:27,960
as to how much they could give some

1683
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,135
of these guys. The cam re in the

1684
01:00:30,135 --> 01:00:32,375
world of the guard gave Vincent who came

1685
01:00:32,375 --> 01:00:34,135
from Miami, but it was hurt all year.

1686
01:00:34,695 --> 01:00:36,468
But to get them to come, I had

1687
01:00:36,468 --> 01:00:38,459
to pay a lower price tag because I

1688
01:00:38,459 --> 01:00:40,929
had limitations with the salary cap, but the

1689
01:00:40,929 --> 01:00:42,783
fourth side is, I'll give you

1690
01:00:43,255 --> 01:00:45,332
That's right. Yeah. I'll give you the opt

1691
01:00:45,332 --> 01:00:45,571
in.

1692
01:00:46,210 --> 01:00:46,710
So

1693
01:00:47,089 --> 01:00:49,007
and gabe Vincent came and got hurt. Cam

1694
01:00:49,087 --> 01:00:50,605
Red came from the knicks and he got

1695
01:00:50,605 --> 01:00:50,765
hurt.

1696
01:00:51,818 --> 01:00:53,976
Before that, they had played well in spurt

1697
01:00:53,976 --> 01:00:56,373
as role players with the heat and the

1698
01:00:56,373 --> 01:00:58,371
k lockers. But they gave them up then

1699
01:00:58,371 --> 01:00:59,670
to give 4 guys

1700
01:01:00,780 --> 01:01:02,931
opt ins, and then they all took the

1701
01:01:02,931 --> 01:01:06,118
opt ins. That gave D Russell opt then

1702
01:01:06,118 --> 01:01:07,233
at 18000000.

1703
01:01:07,950 --> 01:01:09,247
Now he opted in

1704
01:01:09,558 --> 01:01:12,027
Maybe they can still trade him, but he's

1705
01:01:12,027 --> 01:01:14,496
kinda and if in an out type guy.

1706
01:01:14,655 --> 01:01:16,487
He played so well for chunks of last

1707
01:01:16,487 --> 01:01:19,288
season and during the playoffs totally disappeared on

1708
01:01:19,288 --> 01:01:21,275
them. He opted in, so he could get

1709
01:01:21,275 --> 01:01:22,786
paid another year to be on the lakers.

1710
01:01:23,024 --> 01:01:24,932
How many teams has he been on? Has

1711
01:01:24,932 --> 01:01:27,158
he been traded once or twice... He's been

1712
01:01:27,158 --> 01:01:28,768
on like, 345

1713
01:01:28,768 --> 01:01:31,086
years in minnesota. He was with Brooklyn. He's

1714
01:01:31,086 --> 01:01:33,483
moved around, but he's... You still see the

1715
01:01:33,483 --> 01:01:35,401
viper... You see this 3 point shooter out

1716
01:01:35,401 --> 01:01:37,574
there and say, wow. He broke the lakers

1717
01:01:37,574 --> 01:01:39,012
record last year on 3 point shots.

1718
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:43,247
Attempts made percentage. Mh. Had a good season.

1719
01:01:43,407 --> 01:01:44,846
But when they need him the most post

1720
01:01:44,846 --> 01:01:47,035
season, dis spirit are sitting on the bench

1721
01:01:47,171 --> 01:01:48,604
next to the coach is about to be

1722
01:01:48,604 --> 01:01:50,832
fired. Well, probably because they're putting all the

1723
01:01:50,832 --> 01:01:52,105
focus on the bra when you get into

1724
01:01:52,105 --> 01:01:54,586
the playoffs because Lebron is like the Point

1725
01:01:54,586 --> 01:01:57,132
guard. He's the the 3 point shooter. 3

1726
01:01:57,132 --> 01:01:59,677
point shooter. He's the power forward. He's the

1727
01:01:59,677 --> 01:02:02,235
rebound. It's all Lebron all the time. It's

1728
01:02:02,235 --> 01:02:03,744
no wonder that these other guys just get

1729
01:02:03,744 --> 01:02:05,254
buried on a bench. So you're a Lebron

1730
01:02:05,254 --> 01:02:07,651
hit. I just don't think it's working. Oh.

1731
01:02:07,810 --> 01:02:09,238
You know, it's just it's just not functional.

1732
01:02:09,555 --> 01:02:11,380
We carry on. Okay. Let's go to Derek.

1733
01:02:12,172 --> 01:02:15,839
Lewis Hamilton winning was absolutely incredible. Yes. I

1734
01:02:15,839 --> 01:02:17,517
didn't see it coming. I mean, I don't

1735
01:02:17,517 --> 01:02:20,334
know I I think he's finished third once

1736
01:02:21,112 --> 01:02:23,130
in the last 3 years. That's the highest

1737
01:02:23,684 --> 01:02:26,582
Christmas Mercedes was never able to figure out

1738
01:02:27,041 --> 01:02:27,541
horsepower

1739
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:28,799
and handling.

1740
01:02:29,278 --> 01:02:30,877
I mean Mercedes is not what they were.

1741
01:02:31,037 --> 01:02:32,396
And he had 99

1742
01:02:32,396 --> 01:02:33,035
career wins.

1743
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:35,929
When they hit a wall on 20 21,

1744
01:02:36,089 --> 01:02:36,989
and as the technology

1745
01:02:37,289 --> 01:02:37,609
changed,

1746
01:02:38,250 --> 01:02:40,329
they just did not keep up. And he

1747
01:02:40,329 --> 01:02:41,937
was competitive at all. When you tell him

1748
01:02:41,937 --> 01:02:43,210
about falling off the face of the earth?

1749
01:02:43,528 --> 01:02:43,767
Wow.

1750
01:02:44,483 --> 01:02:47,052
And to see that. Now, he's gotten progressively

1751
01:02:47,109 --> 01:02:48,940
better the last 3 to 4 weeks, and

1752
01:02:49,019 --> 01:02:49,869
I don't know whether

1753
01:02:50,230 --> 01:02:52,329
whether they found handling or

1754
01:02:52,789 --> 01:02:55,210
everybody's got the same same components of horsepower,

1755
01:02:55,829 --> 01:02:56,150
but

1756
01:02:56,710 --> 01:02:59,203
he's had 3 or 4 decent races but

1757
01:02:59,203 --> 01:03:00,792
not like he was in first place. Any

1758
01:03:00,792 --> 01:03:02,063
he of other is not that he was

1759
01:03:02,063 --> 01:03:04,129
gonna win, but to get to the podium

1760
01:03:04,129 --> 01:03:05,877
would be an accomplishment compared to where they

1761
01:03:05,877 --> 01:03:07,387
were in 22 23.

1762
01:03:07,799 --> 01:03:10,425
And most of 24. So for sir, Lewis

1763
01:03:10,425 --> 01:03:13,051
to win that thing, and Tell you everybody's

1764
01:03:13,051 --> 01:03:14,882
chasing for snap and Holy. K. You talking

1765
01:03:14,882 --> 01:03:15,518
about pressure.

1766
01:03:16,235 --> 01:03:18,322
He's feeling it. But he's he's had a

1767
01:03:18,322 --> 01:03:19,520
great run with Red bull.

1768
01:03:20,478 --> 01:03:23,192
But now he's contemplated contemplating in asking for

1769
01:03:23,192 --> 01:03:24,789
release from his contracts. So he go to

1770
01:03:24,789 --> 01:03:27,358
another team. Wow. Okay. So it gotta open

1771
01:03:27,358 --> 01:03:29,750
up a slot for Ready somehow. Yes. Okay.

1772
01:03:29,989 --> 01:03:32,563
Let's go here to John, and he says,

1773
01:03:33,180 --> 01:03:35,732
hey. How about the capital vice president, Brian

1774
01:03:35,812 --> 01:03:36,291
Mc?

1775
01:03:36,784 --> 01:03:39,017
Re hold an aging roster with 2 top

1776
01:03:39,017 --> 01:03:39,655
6 forwards,

1777
01:03:40,453 --> 01:03:42,925
1 a defence and A1A goalie to compete

1778
01:03:42,925 --> 01:03:45,180
with Charlie Ling. I thought I thought Mc

1779
01:03:45,239 --> 01:03:47,088
did a really good job. Know, they made

1780
01:03:47,088 --> 01:03:48,605
a trade with Calgary,

1781
01:03:49,803 --> 01:03:50,303
to

1782
01:03:51,479 --> 01:03:52,517
is at Man by,

1783
01:03:53,874 --> 01:03:55,710
left winger who was a real grind.

1784
01:03:56,678 --> 01:03:58,978
And they've helped themselves a fair degree. And

1785
01:03:59,137 --> 01:04:00,271
Mc just

1786
01:04:00,961 --> 01:04:03,420
stepped away as general manager. He's gonna stay

1787
01:04:03,420 --> 01:04:06,410
as president of hockey operations, and they promoted

1788
01:04:06,950 --> 01:04:08,789
1 of their assistants to take over the

1789
01:04:08,789 --> 01:04:10,230
day to day Gm position.

1790
01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:11,269
You know,

1791
01:04:12,964 --> 01:04:14,103
Alexander Of She

1792
01:04:14,561 --> 01:04:17,198
is on honest last legs. He's had a

1793
01:04:17,198 --> 01:04:19,035
brilliant career. Hall a fame career.

1794
01:04:19,688 --> 01:04:20,962
But I think they they made a lot

1795
01:04:20,962 --> 01:04:23,588
of moves to put people around him that

1796
01:04:23,588 --> 01:04:26,213
should make the Washington capitals much, much more

1797
01:04:26,213 --> 01:04:28,442
competitive. I I'd I'd say Washington and Boston.

1798
01:04:29,092 --> 01:04:30,387
Had 2 of the better

1799
01:04:31,238 --> 01:04:33,304
first weeks of July than anybody else on

1800
01:04:33,304 --> 01:04:35,473
the National Hockey league. You know, we talked

1801
01:04:35,529 --> 01:04:37,780
we talked about on our July fourth show

1802
01:04:37,780 --> 01:04:40,260
a hundred 33 free agents changed teams in

1803
01:04:40,260 --> 01:04:42,099
the first 2 days. Have never seen anything

1804
01:04:42,099 --> 01:04:44,828
like that in the Nhl, but the broom

1805
01:04:44,828 --> 01:04:46,733
helped themselves, and I I think the caps

1806
01:04:46,733 --> 01:04:49,272
with the addition of these players have helped

1807
01:04:49,272 --> 01:04:51,909
themselves a great deal. What has the Capital

1808
01:04:51,909 --> 01:04:53,829
history Ben and in Stanley Cup. I mean,

1809
01:04:53,909 --> 01:04:55,829
how many trophies do they have? Because they...

1810
01:04:55,989 --> 01:04:58,069
Not 1 of the top franchise? No, but

1811
01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:59,190
they built it with O.

1812
01:04:59,764 --> 01:05:01,440
And out, you know, that... It's 1 of

1813
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,615
the coolest pictures of all time and him

1814
01:05:03,993 --> 01:05:05,909
skating around the ice with a with the

1815
01:05:05,909 --> 01:05:07,366
trophy after all these group

1816
01:05:07,837 --> 01:05:08,337
brilliant

1817
01:05:08,791 --> 01:05:11,017
individual seasons that they've had. And they've they've

1818
01:05:11,017 --> 01:05:12,710
done well in some post seasons

1819
01:05:13,323 --> 01:05:14,833
and a winner by the name of T

1820
01:05:14,833 --> 01:05:16,901
j, who just always showed up in the

1821
01:05:16,901 --> 01:05:19,735
play offs and scored key goals, and

1822
01:05:20,195 --> 01:05:22,914
but they've they've won 1 cup, and

1823
01:05:23,474 --> 01:05:26,434
O is O is just a superb great.

1824
01:05:26,848 --> 01:05:27,483
Hockey player.

1825
01:05:29,546 --> 01:05:31,133
Wow. So let's got some more questions here.

1826
01:05:31,371 --> 01:05:33,197
Yeah, I'm looking here while you're talking and

1827
01:05:33,197 --> 01:05:34,966
let's go to Gregory

1828
01:05:35,835 --> 01:05:38,074
He says, if this was minor hockey, they

1829
01:05:38,074 --> 01:05:40,234
would take ownership away from a team, all

1830
01:05:40,234 --> 01:05:41,514
of the commander Redskins.

1831
01:05:43,034 --> 01:05:44,795
Which team is he making reference to?

1832
01:05:45,769 --> 01:05:47,210
If this was minor hockey,

1833
01:05:47,849 --> 01:05:49,530
I'm not sure of which sport talking about.

1834
01:05:49,769 --> 01:05:51,369
Yeah. I'm not even sure you either. Let's

1835
01:05:51,369 --> 01:05:52,829
go somewhere. Was it Greg

1836
01:05:53,144 --> 01:05:55,485
cycle is back. What what team are referencing

1837
01:05:55,945 --> 01:05:57,785
that you'd like to have this taken away

1838
01:05:57,785 --> 01:05:59,545
from? And maybe he's making a reference about

1839
01:05:59,545 --> 01:06:02,430
the Anaheim Ducks who I don't think did

1840
01:06:02,430 --> 01:06:04,977
anything. Yeah. In the off season. I mean,

1841
01:06:05,057 --> 01:06:07,763
the Ducks said the just for little background.

1842
01:06:07,922 --> 01:06:09,673
The Ducks had 31000000

1843
01:06:09,673 --> 01:06:11,912
dollars in cap space. They had 9 draft

1844
01:06:11,912 --> 01:06:12,150
picks,

1845
01:06:12,785 --> 01:06:14,928
and they hardly did anything in the draft.

1846
01:06:15,087 --> 01:06:17,389
Their draft was unique, not to say they

1847
01:06:17,389 --> 01:06:19,476
it didn't get future players, but none of

1848
01:06:19,476 --> 01:06:21,072
those guys is gonna be an Ana anaheim

1849
01:06:21,072 --> 01:06:22,109
this year. None of them I'm gonna be

1850
01:06:22,109 --> 01:06:24,504
able to San Diego Gauls, and they bypass

1851
01:06:24,504 --> 01:06:26,020
a couple of top Russian defense.

1852
01:06:26,514 --> 01:06:28,349
And they've done virtually nothing in free agency

1853
01:06:28,349 --> 01:06:29,945
and all the free agents are gone off

1854
01:06:29,945 --> 01:06:32,339
off the board. They got lit up the

1855
01:06:32,659 --> 01:06:34,929
Atlantic, and their beat rider. Just

1856
01:06:35,385 --> 01:06:35,885
killed

1857
01:06:36,820 --> 01:06:39,452
Pet Beak, the general manager. And John Gibson

1858
01:06:39,452 --> 01:06:42,003
is still there. Free John Gibson. I would

1859
01:06:42,003 --> 01:06:44,335
have sworn They would have traded the former

1860
01:06:44,414 --> 01:06:46,014
All star goal tender, and they would had

1861
01:06:46,014 --> 01:06:47,534
to pay a piece of a 6000000 a

1862
01:06:47,534 --> 01:06:49,614
year salary. But what they need is they

1863
01:06:49,614 --> 01:06:51,694
need veteran players to put around all the

1864
01:06:51,694 --> 01:06:54,822
really good kids at Verb drafted because they're

1865
01:06:54,822 --> 01:06:57,055
always getting the first second or third pick

1866
01:06:57,055 --> 01:06:59,049
on the draft. We're gonna wake up 1

1867
01:06:59,049 --> 01:07:00,485
of these days in our life and the

1868
01:07:00,485 --> 01:07:01,681
ducks are gonna be pretty good.

1869
01:07:02,414 --> 01:07:03,929
As they're force feeding and all his young

1870
01:07:03,929 --> 01:07:04,828
kids, but

1871
01:07:05,286 --> 01:07:07,997
they just sentenced their fans to another 45

1872
01:07:07,997 --> 01:07:10,151
loss season by the fact they did nothing

1873
01:07:10,151 --> 01:07:11,507
in free agency at all.

1874
01:07:12,399 --> 01:07:15,026
And down here, and I may be the

1875
01:07:15,026 --> 01:07:17,413
only media guy that cares and covers the

1876
01:07:17,493 --> 01:07:18,232
San Diego.

1877
01:07:19,085 --> 01:07:21,973
They have now lost their top 5

1878
01:07:22,601 --> 01:07:23,659
veteran players

1879
01:07:24,113 --> 01:07:26,420
all left to go get contracts with those

1880
01:07:26,420 --> 01:07:26,659
teams.

1881
01:07:27,772 --> 01:07:29,099
And the way the the

1882
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:32,588
working agreements work is that the docs

1883
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,470
usually send all their top young draft picks

1884
01:07:36,470 --> 01:07:38,302
here, and they'll coach them and build them

1885
01:07:38,302 --> 01:07:38,802
and

1886
01:07:39,194 --> 01:07:41,589
hopefully get better within a year or two's

1887
01:07:41,589 --> 01:07:43,585
time to take them up. But each N

1888
01:07:43,585 --> 01:07:45,841
nhl club will also signed 4 or 5

1889
01:07:46,059 --> 01:07:48,349
journey minor league who got a lot of

1890
01:07:48,469 --> 01:07:50,862
experience in the American league and send them

1891
01:07:50,862 --> 01:07:51,978
down to be the cornerstone.

1892
01:07:52,616 --> 01:07:55,030
Well, the gauls had 5 veterans

1893
01:07:55,567 --> 01:07:57,401
and all 5 are now gone.

1894
01:07:58,054 --> 01:08:00,369
Black Hawk, islanders, San Jose came in and

1895
01:08:00,369 --> 01:08:02,842
sign those veterans to put them on their

1896
01:08:02,922 --> 01:08:03,880
A team.

1897
01:08:04,598 --> 01:08:05,817
And the gauls

1898
01:08:06,607 --> 01:08:08,356
or sitting there, and I I know what

1899
01:08:08,356 --> 01:08:10,344
that Du have done, the Du of signed

1900
01:08:10,344 --> 01:08:11,400
3 or 4

1901
01:08:12,013 --> 01:08:14,080
german minor l who are not equal to

1902
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:15,193
the guys they just lost.

1903
01:08:15,844 --> 01:08:18,072
And the gauls. Goals have had a really

1904
01:08:18,072 --> 01:08:20,457
rugged 2 or 3 years with just the

1905
01:08:20,457 --> 01:08:20,957
makeup

1906
01:08:21,492 --> 01:08:23,336
of the roster. So if if Greg is

1907
01:08:23,336 --> 01:08:25,877
making reference to the Anaheim ducks, I understand

1908
01:08:25,877 --> 01:08:28,338
his up being an upset. Yeah. Well, I

1909
01:08:28,338 --> 01:08:29,609
think a lot of times you see that

1910
01:08:29,609 --> 01:08:32,006
where veterans will go down to the minors

1911
01:08:32,006 --> 01:08:34,390
because they think there's a chance to slip

1912
01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:36,537
into the roster on the big club. But

1913
01:08:36,537 --> 01:08:38,779
the ducks aren't moving those guys up. So

1914
01:08:38,779 --> 01:08:40,533
it's no wonder that they've moved off. We've

1915
01:08:40,533 --> 01:08:42,048
gone somewhere else for maybe a little bit

1916
01:08:42,048 --> 01:08:43,643
more money grown somewhere else where I might

1917
01:08:43,643 --> 01:08:44,919
have a chance to be the first call

1918
01:08:44,919 --> 01:08:46,354
up to play for the Black box of

1919
01:08:46,354 --> 01:08:48,842
the islanders etcetera a good point. Okay. So

1920
01:08:49,081 --> 01:08:51,553
okay. Here's 1 from Gary. Hi, Lee. I

1921
01:08:51,553 --> 01:08:53,229
had no idea you were on. How long

1922
01:08:53,229 --> 01:08:54,904

1925
01:08:59,784 --> 01:09:02,416

Youtube channel.

1927
01:09:04,251 --> 01:09:06,085
We gotta find a friend in marketing that

1928
01:09:06,085 --> 01:09:07,862

nationally. But, no We've got... I know, John

1930
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,870
knows he knows the numbers better than I

1931
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:14,940
do. I I don't know how many subscribers

1932
01:09:14,940 --> 01:09:16,547

1933
01:09:16,547 --> 01:09:18,698
we put together at our first 14 15

1934
01:09:18,698 --> 01:09:20,133

1951
01:09:51,334 --> 01:09:53,089
said, so the Pod have an issue at

1952
01:09:53,169 --> 01:09:55,563
Shorts stop when Xander Bog comes back. He's

1953
01:09:55,563 --> 01:09:57,492
gonna have to play. What do you do

1954
01:09:57,492 --> 01:09:59,327
with Hassan song Kim? I don't wanna see

1955
01:09:59,406 --> 01:10:01,321
Cro back at first space. I like him

1956
01:10:01,321 --> 01:10:03,235
at second. I like a rise at first?

1957
01:10:03,634 --> 01:10:06,186
I don't see Kim is anybody long term

1958
01:10:06,186 --> 01:10:08,515
with this team either. He's not gonna be

1959
01:10:08,515 --> 01:10:09,872
resigning with a team next year. So you

1960
01:10:09,872 --> 01:10:11,388
might as well get rid of them. He's

1961
01:10:11,388 --> 01:10:13,782
not contributing anything. Well, we gotta make sure

1962
01:10:13,942 --> 01:10:16,823
Bog botox is just started his rehab games

1963
01:10:16,823 --> 01:10:18,572
in El paso. So we gotta make sure

1964
01:10:18,572 --> 01:10:20,878
he holds up. And Xander is probably a

1965
01:10:20,878 --> 01:10:22,389
better shorts stopped than he has a second

1966
01:10:22,389 --> 01:10:24,059
basement. So he got extra people.

1967
01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:27,189
He wants he wants to use Kim as

1968
01:10:27,189 --> 01:10:27,670
trade bait.

1969
01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:29,270
Think go get a pitcher.

1970
01:10:30,070 --> 01:10:31,909
Makes sense with somebody else take on Hassan

1971
01:10:31,909 --> 01:10:33,750
hassan Kim on a short term rental and

1972
01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:34,364
give you

1973
01:10:34,963 --> 01:10:36,799
would Tampa take the short stop and give

1974
01:10:36,799 --> 01:10:38,873
you 1 of their frontline pictures. I bet

1975
01:10:39,033 --> 01:10:41,028
Colorado would take Kim and maybe you get

1976
01:10:41,108 --> 01:10:43,830
Quan back. I say, I don't think Pro

1977
01:10:43,830 --> 01:10:45,182
has an awful lot that he uses his

1978
01:10:45,182 --> 01:10:46,533
trade bait. I don't hate to see Kim

1979
01:10:46,533 --> 01:10:49,078
go because he's he's hitting better now than

1980
01:10:49,078 --> 01:10:51,241
he hit early. He's playing better fronts now

1981
01:10:51,241 --> 01:10:52,434
than he did the first 2 months of

1982
01:10:52,434 --> 01:10:54,502
the season, and we had last year's star

1983
01:10:54,502 --> 01:10:55,002
studded

1984
01:10:55,457 --> 01:10:58,257
season for him. So she's gotta be careful

1985
01:10:58,257 --> 01:10:59,689
gonna move them, but who you're gonna get

1986
01:10:59,689 --> 01:11:02,157
back. If it's the right picture, maybe I

1987
01:11:02,237 --> 01:11:03,908
I look at that. You know, in the...

1988
01:11:04,067 --> 01:11:05,818
And Bog arts comes back and there's a

1989
01:11:05,818 --> 01:11:07,981
traffic jam in that in field. Someone has

1990
01:11:07,981 --> 01:11:10,209
gotta be the D h. Yeah. Exactly. So

1991
01:11:10,209 --> 01:11:10,709
maybe

1992
01:11:11,164 --> 01:11:13,631
Bogey becomes the the d. And just see

1993
01:11:13,631 --> 01:11:14,506
if you can hit backing,

1994
01:11:15,079 --> 01:11:16,600
was it in 02:19 when it got hurt,

1995
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:17,479
but he hit, you know,

1996
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,039
it's a career 2 80 hit. I mean,

1997
01:11:20,119 --> 01:11:21,739
he was a really rock solid

1998
01:11:22,054 --> 01:11:23,729
veteran player. And when you moved to the

1999
01:11:23,729 --> 01:11:25,485
second base, he wasn't quite the same player,

2000
01:11:25,884 --> 01:11:27,879
he never really played that, and then he

2001
01:11:27,879 --> 01:11:28,278
got hurt.

2002
01:11:29,155 --> 01:11:29,235
Well,

2003
01:11:29,968 --> 01:11:31,642
clearly you're right. I mean, the 1 of

2004
01:11:31,642 --> 01:11:32,997
them I'm right. Of course, you're right. The

2005
01:11:32,997 --> 01:11:34,273
in field is like 1 of them got

2006
01:11:34,273 --> 01:11:35,229
a slot in ADH,

2007
01:11:35,628 --> 01:11:37,143
and you can rotate them around. But the

2008
01:11:37,143 --> 01:11:39,624
problem is is that Donovan Salon is playing

2009
01:11:39,624 --> 01:11:41,849
pretty well. Yeah. Super utility guy. He's having

2010
01:11:41,849 --> 01:11:44,313
a bitter season. It's weird to me. He's

2011
01:11:44,313 --> 01:11:45,186
moved so much.

2012
01:11:45,837 --> 01:11:48,380
And yet everywhere he's played as a super

2013
01:11:48,380 --> 01:11:50,923
utility guy I think the guy hits and

2014
01:11:50,923 --> 01:11:52,989
and his career batting in average is a

2015
01:11:52,989 --> 01:11:55,386
super sub like 2 80. Yeah. And he

2016
01:11:55,386 --> 01:11:57,208
makes plays at third base. Too. I mean,

2017
01:11:57,367 --> 01:11:58,872
so, yeah know, that was a great pickup

2018
01:11:58,872 --> 01:12:00,694
by aj. But, yeah, there's gonna be a

2019
01:12:00,694 --> 01:12:02,539
traffic jam here but I don't know what

2020
01:12:02,539 --> 01:12:04,057
you're gonna get from Hassan Kim. If you

2021
01:12:04,057 --> 01:12:05,975
tried it to trade them. I mean, great

2022
01:12:05,975 --> 01:12:07,734
defensive or although a little bit down this

2023
01:12:07,734 --> 01:12:10,930
year, hitting what? Like, 02:20 or 02:30,

2024
01:12:11,503 --> 01:12:12,537
not like you're gonna get a big haul.

2025
01:12:12,697 --> 01:12:14,447
You're not gonna get a starting frontline picture

2026
01:12:14,447 --> 01:12:16,277
for. No. But if if Colorado wants to

2027
01:12:16,277 --> 01:12:18,836
move Quan trill, who's had injury issues. And

2028
01:12:18,836 --> 01:12:20,580
has also got, I think 1 year left

2029
01:12:20,580 --> 01:12:21,453
before free agency.

2030
01:12:22,246 --> 01:12:24,625
Control is established. I trust Quan, more than

2031
01:12:24,625 --> 01:12:26,704
would any of these other guys that they're

2032
01:12:26,704 --> 01:12:28,465
out there talking to. Hell, I agree. And

2033
01:12:28,465 --> 01:12:30,145
it can't... They can't make the deal to

2034
01:12:30,145 --> 01:12:32,225
get the White sox left hand Garrett Crochet.

2035
01:12:32,545 --> 01:12:34,485
It's said the price is too steep and

2036
01:12:34,704 --> 01:12:36,960
ownership will not let him move other top

2037
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,360
minor l. And I I don't, you know,

2038
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,760
Kim to Chicago for the white sox. You

2039
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,280
know, you're gonna put more in the deal

2040
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,769
than just that to get access to Crochet,

2041
01:12:45,928 --> 01:12:47,763
who's their top left handed picture, and he's...

2042
01:12:48,002 --> 01:12:49,301
I think he's got 2 years

2043
01:12:49,837 --> 01:12:52,489
left. Some it'll be fun to see as

2044
01:12:52,489 --> 01:12:53,930
we go through the the last 2 weeks

2045
01:12:53,930 --> 01:12:55,610
of the season and because that they're gonna

2046
01:12:55,610 --> 01:12:56,810
have to make a deal to get picture.

2047
01:12:57,130 --> 01:12:58,030
I'm a big

2048
01:12:58,409 --> 01:13:00,341
fan. I would take him over any of

2049
01:13:00,341 --> 01:13:02,495
these other guys. Yeah. I I tend to

2050
01:13:02,495 --> 01:13:03,771
agree with you on that because he had

2051
01:13:03,771 --> 01:13:07,375
his moments in Cleveland because when Cl was

2052
01:13:07,375 --> 01:13:09,445
stinking up the joiner was hurt. We saw

2053
01:13:09,525 --> 01:13:11,595
Quan perform well for the for the guardians.

2054
01:13:11,834 --> 01:13:14,302
He's got an Of, like, 2.39

2055
01:13:14,302 --> 01:13:14,914
and dude

2056
01:13:15,510 --> 01:13:18,287
Course field. Yeah. I'm mess. That's alright. I'll

2057
01:13:18,287 --> 01:13:20,827
tell you what. But, yeah. The Pod is

2058
01:13:20,827 --> 01:13:22,335
it's just it's just a mess right now.

2059
01:13:22,652 --> 01:13:24,572
Let's go to here. To another Pod ray

2060
01:13:24,572 --> 01:13:26,875
comment, and this is from Nest. He says,

2061
01:13:27,033 --> 01:13:29,257
I've... This is to hacks. I've never liked

2062
01:13:29,257 --> 01:13:31,401
what you have to say, always negative.

2063
01:13:31,734 --> 01:13:33,328
Why don't you help out the club and

2064
01:13:33,328 --> 01:13:35,081
contribute because they wouldn't want you?

2065
01:13:36,595 --> 01:13:37,095
His

2066
01:13:39,718 --> 01:13:42,907
Guy follows me. This guy dislikes me. That's

2067
01:13:42,907 --> 01:13:45,139
okay. I got no problem with that. At

2068
01:13:45,139 --> 01:13:46,494
the end of the day, you are what

2069
01:13:46,494 --> 01:13:47,611
your records says you are.

2070
01:13:48,421 --> 01:13:51,354
Nest, are you ignoring the score, the score

2071
01:13:51,354 --> 01:13:53,494
that reads A aj Pre has had 3

2072
01:13:53,494 --> 01:13:56,369
great months in 9 years. With all the

2073
01:13:56,369 --> 01:13:57,890
player deals and all the money he spent,

2074
01:13:58,289 --> 01:14:00,050
all the acquisitions, all the trades,

2075
01:14:00,609 --> 01:14:02,210
3 great months.

2076
01:14:02,850 --> 01:14:04,529
That was the year they chased down the

2077
01:14:04,529 --> 01:14:06,862
dodgers, and beat the dodgers into playoffs in

2078
01:14:06,862 --> 01:14:09,119
the year, they got to the Llc

2079
01:14:09,498 --> 01:14:12,295
against the Fill. 3 months out of 9

2080
01:14:12,295 --> 01:14:12,454
years.

2081
01:14:14,301 --> 01:14:15,993
I'm just telling you

2082
01:14:16,448 --> 01:14:19,073
what's happened and the way it is, but

2083
01:14:19,073 --> 01:14:21,960
keep following keep reading my website. Maybe somewhere

2084
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,796
along the way, I'll write something, say something

2085
01:14:23,796 --> 01:14:26,350
that you agree with. But thank you for

2086
01:14:26,350 --> 01:14:28,346
joining our podcast because you're pretty smart to

2087
01:14:28,346 --> 01:14:30,760
join our podcast. Yeah. Well, you know, the

2088
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,479
the local media is just kisses butt to

2089
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:34,920
the pod race. I mean, they... They are

2090
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:38,047
always selling it They're always pushing the best

2091
01:14:38,047 --> 01:14:40,357
case scenario. I mean, you tell it like

2092
01:14:40,357 --> 01:14:42,110
it is. And it's funny how the fans

2093
01:14:42,110 --> 01:14:44,115
react on social media. Some of them think,

2094
01:14:44,434 --> 01:14:46,104
oh, you're a Pod fan or you're a

2095
01:14:46,184 --> 01:14:48,412
Dodge hate, or they... They're all trying to

2096
01:14:48,412 --> 01:14:50,639
interpret which team you're really rooting for. And

2097
01:14:50,639 --> 01:14:52,962
the same thing with the chargers and it's

2098
01:14:52,962 --> 01:14:54,256
funny how people

2099
01:14:54,791 --> 01:14:57,494
just wanna dig in deeper to find out

2100
01:14:57,494 --> 01:14:58,448
what's making you tick.

2101
01:14:59,323 --> 01:15:00,516
Give me the information.

2102
01:15:01,168 --> 01:15:03,642
Based on my sports intelligence, I will give

2103
01:15:03,642 --> 01:15:05,977
you my response and my opinion on the

2104
01:15:06,036 --> 01:15:06,195
information.

2105
01:15:06,993 --> 01:15:07,950
Agree or disagree,

2106
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:10,664
Too bad for you, but thanks for following.

2107
01:15:11,060 --> 01:15:12,726
Okay. Let's go here to Dodgers. So talk

2108
01:15:12,726 --> 01:15:14,313
a little pitching here. This is from Isa.

2109
01:15:14,948 --> 01:15:17,193
He said all those injured pictures are honestly

2110
01:15:17,193 --> 01:15:19,345
not great. I'm a Dodgers fan, but I

2111
01:15:19,345 --> 01:15:21,179
also... Not a Dodge or ap.

2112
01:15:21,577 --> 01:15:23,650
The offense will get it together, but there's

2113
01:15:23,650 --> 01:15:26,520
no combination of pictures coming back then make

2114
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,216
1 decent 1. Yes, they need to trade

2115
01:15:29,216 --> 01:15:31,118
for not just 1 starter, but 2,

2116
01:15:31,769 --> 01:15:33,604
0, and maybe 1 or 2 pan arms

2117
01:15:33,604 --> 01:15:36,077
that are decent. Obviously, that's not happening. So

2118
01:15:36,157 --> 01:15:37,353
I see another early eggs.

2119
01:15:39,203 --> 01:15:40,878
You looked at the depth, you looked at

2120
01:15:40,878 --> 01:15:43,133
the numbers when they came out of Camel

2121
01:15:43,192 --> 01:15:45,265
ranch, and you say, it's a pretty decent

2122
01:15:45,265 --> 01:15:47,977
team. They got 10 pictures on the disable

2123
01:15:47,977 --> 01:15:48,136
list.

2124
01:15:48,949 --> 01:15:50,387
When you say they don't have any decent

2125
01:15:50,387 --> 01:15:51,426
starting pitching, please.

2126
01:15:52,066 --> 01:15:55,342
Yam it looks like a real stud. Now

2127
01:15:55,342 --> 01:15:57,020
he's got this rotator cuff strain.

2128
01:15:57,753 --> 01:16:00,061
And it's been very quiet. He's not... He's

2129
01:16:00,061 --> 01:16:01,813
not been thrown they've shut him down for

2130
01:16:01,813 --> 01:16:04,041
a while, So it's a significant injury.

2131
01:16:04,677 --> 01:16:06,588
But he was lights out. He had I

2132
01:16:06,588 --> 01:16:09,073
think eat straight dominance starts.

2133
01:16:09,872 --> 01:16:11,386
And when they lost him, then the rest

2134
01:16:11,386 --> 01:16:14,179
of it unravel. And yeah. You know, let

2135
01:16:14,179 --> 01:16:15,694
let's not lose sight of the fact. B

2136
01:16:15,694 --> 01:16:17,050
spent a hell of a starting picture. He

2137
01:16:17,050 --> 01:16:18,503
said 2 elbow surgeries now.

2138
01:16:19,142 --> 01:16:21,618
And he's back in rehab and throwing in

2139
01:16:21,618 --> 01:16:23,536
the minor leagues, and they would assume to

2140
01:16:23,536 --> 01:16:24,828
get them back and don't lose side of

2141
01:16:24,828 --> 01:16:26,904
the greatness of what Clayton K has done

2142
01:16:26,904 --> 01:16:27,942
over the course of his career.

2143
01:16:28,580 --> 01:16:31,155
But as he says, old man arm. And

2144
01:16:31,373 --> 01:16:32,970
so he's got a lot of mileage on

2145
01:16:32,970 --> 01:16:35,702
him. Bobby Miller showed flashes. Gavin Stone has

2146
01:16:35,702 --> 01:16:38,899
shown flashes. They got more kids coming from

2147
01:16:38,899 --> 01:16:40,976
their farm system. So I'm not ready to

2148
01:16:40,976 --> 01:16:42,995
give up on the dodgers. They've just had

2149
01:16:43,784 --> 01:16:44,976
I guess at the end of the day,

2150
01:16:45,294 --> 01:16:45,612
Ice,

2151
01:16:46,804 --> 01:16:48,948
10 pictures on the deal, and they're still

2152
01:16:48,948 --> 01:16:49,663
in first place.

2153
01:16:50,395 --> 01:16:53,612
So let's not condemn Dodge your baseball was

2154
01:16:53,751 --> 01:16:56,228
organizational. They're still on first place? That's amazing.

2155
01:16:56,868 --> 01:16:58,466
Well, who are the other starters on there?

2156
01:16:58,706 --> 01:16:59,960
We talked about K shaw

2157
01:17:00,636 --> 01:17:03,984
B. We've talked about Yam moto, Justin May.

2158
01:17:04,222 --> 01:17:04,940
Dustin May,

2159
01:17:05,737 --> 01:17:08,142
20 Gon, maybe? Not this year. Okay. But

2160
01:17:08,142 --> 01:17:09,895
no surgery. But he's on the... He's 1

2161
01:17:09,895 --> 01:17:11,966
of those 15 or 16 guys, right? That

2162
01:17:11,966 --> 01:17:13,241
are on the injured list. Well, they got

2163
01:17:13,241 --> 01:17:15,326
10 pictures out of that 15 or 16

2164
01:17:15,326 --> 01:17:17,230
they're on on D. So who else is

2165
01:17:17,230 --> 01:17:18,444
is on the injured

2166
01:17:18,896 --> 01:17:21,515
list that's a potential starter. Nobody is ready

2167
01:17:21,515 --> 01:17:23,681
to come off. You that. So they're a

2168
01:17:23,681 --> 01:17:25,059
little bit wafer for thin, but

2169
01:17:25,756 --> 01:17:28,550
Bobby Miller was really established. He saved him

2170
01:17:28,550 --> 01:17:30,146
at the end of last season, and he

2171
01:17:30,146 --> 01:17:31,756
came out of the gate flying, and then

2172
01:17:31,756 --> 01:17:33,189
he ensured a shoulder, and he was out

2173
01:17:33,189 --> 01:17:34,623
for an extended period. He's back.

2174
01:17:35,659 --> 01:17:39,021
He's just not dominant yet. But, yet, it's

2175
01:17:39,021 --> 01:17:41,414
coming back for those procedures. It just takes

2176
01:17:41,414 --> 01:17:42,610
time to come back.

2177
01:17:43,328 --> 01:17:45,162
And Dustin May is about to go out

2178
01:17:45,162 --> 01:17:47,737
on rehab. Now he's had 2 surgeries

2179
01:17:48,766 --> 01:17:51,315
So we'll see. I mean, you know, maybe

2180
01:17:51,315 --> 01:17:53,227
maybe we get to August and B and

2181
01:17:53,386 --> 01:17:54,502
Dustin May are back.

2182
01:17:55,154 --> 01:17:57,375
In the Dodge rotation and ke sauce back

2183
01:17:57,375 --> 01:17:59,755
in the Dodge rotation, and who no... You

2184
01:17:59,755 --> 01:18:02,213
know, Yam. There's no surgery at planned.

2185
01:18:03,340 --> 01:18:04,940
They just need to be cautious with how

2186
01:18:04,940 --> 01:18:07,100
much she does, and maybe he's back too.

2187
01:18:07,340 --> 01:18:08,079
So I

2188
01:18:08,460 --> 01:18:09,979
I might be in the minority. I I

2189
01:18:09,979 --> 01:18:11,340
still think they got a hell of staff

2190
01:18:11,340 --> 01:18:13,501
have problem is, they got so many guys

2191
01:18:13,501 --> 01:18:13,739
hurt.

2192
01:18:14,453 --> 01:18:15,725
Well by the way they in first place.

2193
01:18:15,963 --> 01:18:17,471
Do you think it's all gonna topple? I

2194
01:18:17,471 --> 01:18:19,457
mean, you've been saying that? I keep waiting.

2195
01:18:19,948 --> 01:18:21,482
But it hasn't yet because

2196
01:18:21,856 --> 01:18:23,685
as shaky is that pitching staff has been.

2197
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:25,354
Those big bats,

2198
01:18:25,910 --> 01:18:27,738
at least the, you know, the top 5

2199
01:18:27,738 --> 01:18:28,851
guys in that bat in order.

2200
01:18:29,662 --> 01:18:32,614
Are hidden. Mean Catcher Wolf Smith. Their catcher

2201
01:18:32,614 --> 01:18:34,050
hit 3 home runs the other day.

2202
01:18:35,246 --> 01:18:37,160
That's pretty impressed. But there's no Mu. You're

2203
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:38,356
right? Mu out for how long.

2204
01:18:39,249 --> 01:18:41,564
Till August or September probably, but they think

2205
01:18:41,564 --> 01:18:43,640
it'll be back for posts season in play.

2206
01:18:44,198 --> 01:18:45,716
It'll be fun because they're gonna make a

2207
01:18:45,716 --> 01:18:47,073
deal. You know, maybe it's gonna be Louis

2208
01:18:47,233 --> 01:18:48,923
Robert from the White sox. That's what keep

2209
01:18:48,923 --> 01:18:49,241
hearing.

2210
01:18:50,116 --> 01:18:51,866
There's just arguing what kind of players are

2211
01:18:51,866 --> 01:18:53,377
be coming back, but they... They're gonna have

2212
01:18:53,377 --> 01:18:54,809
to probably make a deal to get pitching

2213
01:18:54,809 --> 01:18:55,627
to and

2214
01:18:56,020 --> 01:18:57,619
you know, they could easily pick up the

2215
01:18:57,619 --> 01:18:59,539
phone on call Colorado and say, hey, I

2216
01:18:59,539 --> 01:19:01,539
want Kyle Quan trill because of those names

2217
01:19:01,539 --> 01:19:03,300
that I mentioned that Pro was looking out.

2218
01:19:03,874 --> 01:19:05,413
Quan trill is the most trustworthy

2219
01:19:05,872 --> 01:19:08,349
productive guy out there. That'd be so typical

2220
01:19:08,349 --> 01:19:10,107
that the pad be going for Quan and

2221
01:19:10,107 --> 01:19:11,784
the dodgers would snake him at the end.

2222
01:19:12,118 --> 01:19:13,386
Like It did on that Max shares or

2223
01:19:13,386 --> 01:19:14,891
deal a few years ago. On. We go.

2224
01:19:15,129 --> 01:19:17,823
On we go. Alright. Let's go to a

2225
01:19:17,823 --> 01:19:19,115
pack 12 comment

2226
01:19:19,424 --> 01:19:21,895
This is from a a Aloha nate. He

2227
01:19:21,895 --> 01:19:24,047
says, so, Washington state in and Oregon state

2228
01:19:24,047 --> 01:19:25,801
are gonna give 68000000

2229
01:19:25,801 --> 01:19:28,526
dollars to the remaining 6 Mountain West schools

2230
01:19:28,526 --> 01:19:29,323
for the buyout,

2231
01:19:29,721 --> 01:19:32,033
then give the 6 schools joining them more

2232
01:19:32,033 --> 01:19:34,506
money just for a lateral move at from

2233
01:19:34,506 --> 01:19:37,468
1G5 conference to another, for a media deal

2234
01:19:37,468 --> 01:19:39,537
that maybe 10000000 dollars per school.

2235
01:19:40,253 --> 01:19:42,003
It's their money, but it seems like a

2236
01:19:42,003 --> 01:19:44,072
waste, better to just buy your way into

2237
01:19:44,072 --> 01:19:46,712
a power 4 conference like Sm smb. Well,

2238
01:19:46,871 --> 01:19:49,677
there's still... There's still conversation Oregon state, Washington

2239
01:19:49,735 --> 01:19:52,121
state might wind up in the big 12.

2240
01:19:53,893 --> 01:19:55,651
But there's also a lot of conversation that

2241
01:19:55,651 --> 01:19:57,408
they have all these assets because they took

2242
01:19:57,408 --> 01:19:59,646
over operation of the pack 12, and there

2243
01:19:59,646 --> 01:20:01,499
was a lot of money left behind. I

2244
01:20:01,499 --> 01:20:03,335
think we talked about it last week. The

2245
01:20:03,335 --> 01:20:05,888
amount of money left to Oregon state Washington

2246
01:20:05,888 --> 01:20:07,266
state in the Pack 2 conference

2247
01:20:07,724 --> 01:20:09,320
is like 255000000.

2248
01:20:10,292 --> 01:20:12,467
Beaver and Cougar are taking

2249
01:20:13,322 --> 01:20:15,497
40000000 of apiece I was told

2250
01:20:16,352 --> 01:20:17,947
to make up for the Tv revenue that

2251
01:20:17,947 --> 01:20:18,426
they lost.

2252
01:20:19,636 --> 01:20:21,151
The rest of that money goes into a

2253
01:20:21,151 --> 01:20:23,463
pot, The rest of money will be used

2254
01:20:23,463 --> 01:20:26,333
to be dispersed to the 4 or 5

2255
01:20:26,333 --> 01:20:27,471
or 6 teams

2256
01:20:28,102 --> 01:20:31,150
they wanna lure. There won't be any any

2257
01:20:31,367 --> 01:20:33,676
exit fees. So that's that's the difference. If

2258
01:20:33,676 --> 01:20:35,746
they sit there in 24 and 25,

2259
01:20:36,477 --> 01:20:39,261
When the Mountain West Conference, Tv contract expires,

2260
01:20:40,534 --> 01:20:43,104
all the schools, San Diego state Boise Fresno

2261
01:20:43,414 --> 01:20:45,247
they're all gonna be free agents, and they

2262
01:20:45,247 --> 01:20:47,079
want have to pay an exit fee. So

2263
01:20:47,079 --> 01:20:48,296
it's not as if

2264
01:20:48,753 --> 01:20:51,158
the pack 2 would be paying an at

2265
01:20:51,158 --> 01:20:52,750
feed to lure these guys out. They'll wait

2266
01:20:52,750 --> 01:20:54,740
for the Tb contractor to aspire and they'll

2267
01:20:54,740 --> 01:20:56,593
boom. They'll move quickly

2268
01:20:56,969 --> 01:20:58,242
and in 20 26.

2269
01:20:59,052 --> 01:21:00,875
These guys can just exit the mountain West.

2270
01:21:01,509 --> 01:21:03,014
My big issue, and John, and I talked

2271
01:21:03,014 --> 01:21:05,312
about this a couple times over coffee. My

2272
01:21:05,312 --> 01:21:07,552
big issue was Okay. That sounds okay. So

2273
01:21:07,552 --> 01:21:08,905
gonna have... You're gonna have a pack 8.

2274
01:21:09,383 --> 01:21:11,395
If you take 6 schools some out west

2275
01:21:11,612 --> 01:21:13,920
and link link them with the beaver and

2276
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:15,454
the Cougar. But the problem is

2277
01:21:16,004 --> 01:21:17,523
You sure do look like a group of

2278
01:21:17,523 --> 01:21:20,500
5 conference. It kinda looks like Mountain West

2279
01:21:21,038 --> 01:21:23,355
second edition. It's not like you're gonna be

2280
01:21:23,355 --> 01:21:26,166
the pack 8. Or the pack 12 from

2281
01:21:26,166 --> 01:21:28,481
a level playing field. Then there's a money

2282
01:21:28,481 --> 01:21:31,355
issue too, because these schools here, Boise Sand

2283
01:21:31,355 --> 01:21:33,372
diego because they don't have the N n

2284
01:21:33,511 --> 01:21:34,011
pool

2285
01:21:34,724 --> 01:21:36,802
that an Oregon state Washington state has,

2286
01:21:37,281 --> 01:21:38,880
it's a tough call as to what they're

2287
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:39,359
gonna be.

2288
01:21:40,238 --> 01:21:42,237
And that Oregon state, Washington state the big

2289
01:21:42,237 --> 01:21:44,408
12, that rumor is still out there. Well,

2290
01:21:44,568 --> 01:21:46,243
how in the heck can Washington state and

2291
01:21:46,323 --> 01:21:48,658
Oregon state have so much N n money

2292
01:21:48,796 --> 01:21:50,311
when neither 1 of them are in major

2293
01:21:50,311 --> 01:21:50,551
markets?

2294
01:21:51,364 --> 01:21:53,841
That's true, but there is huge alumni that

2295
01:21:53,841 --> 01:21:56,158
have supported the cougar and the bay. It's

2296
01:21:56,158 --> 01:21:58,095
a different alumni faction

2297
01:21:58,729 --> 01:22:00,405
than what's going on at San Diego State.

2298
01:22:00,645 --> 01:22:01,943
San diego states basketball,

2299
01:22:03,198 --> 01:22:04,018
has struggled

2300
01:22:04,396 --> 01:22:05,833
to create a real pot of goal for

2301
01:22:05,833 --> 01:22:07,681
the N nih. They finally got in there

2302
01:22:07,681 --> 01:22:09,985
after the third year, but that... That's a

2303
01:22:09,985 --> 01:22:12,051
year to year thing and the football that

2304
01:22:12,051 --> 01:22:13,822
has just been a struggle in baseball

2305
01:22:14,195 --> 01:22:16,817
N I is negligible. It's a real problem.

2306
01:22:17,707 --> 01:22:20,042
So they... You know, you you think Aztec

2307
01:22:20,420 --> 01:22:22,654
going to the pack 8. That's what it

2308
01:22:22,654 --> 01:22:24,305
would be an team conference. But

2309
01:22:24,740 --> 01:22:26,010
They don't... They don't have the kind of

2310
01:22:26,010 --> 01:22:28,889
resources to compete against anybody that's recruiting California

2311
01:22:29,181 --> 01:22:30,712
if it just comes down to a battle

2312
01:22:30,926 --> 01:22:33,090
of N n money. But that... That's to

2313
01:22:33,090 --> 01:22:34,529
sum total is they're gonna sit.

2314
01:22:35,890 --> 01:22:39,170
Beaver Cougar will sit until the Tv contracts

2315
01:22:39,170 --> 01:22:40,710
in the Mountain West expire,

2316
01:22:41,742 --> 01:22:43,894
although aloha, and then then they'll make their

2317
01:22:43,894 --> 01:22:45,489
move and those schools will be free agents

2318
01:22:45,489 --> 01:22:46,605
and then they come, and then they'll get

2319
01:22:46,605 --> 01:22:47,344
a fee

2320
01:22:47,721 --> 01:22:49,395
to join this conference and go from there.

2321
01:22:49,729 --> 01:22:51,324
There's nobody else out there. And the only

2322
01:22:51,324 --> 01:22:53,239
sexy name that I can think of that

2323
01:22:53,319 --> 01:22:55,154
I wish they still have access to, but

2324
01:22:55,154 --> 01:22:56,052
they don't is by.

2325
01:22:56,924 --> 01:22:58,594
Because they're gone too. You know, They weren't

2326
01:22:58,594 --> 01:23:01,298
went big 12 too. Mh. I, what did

2327
01:23:01,298 --> 01:23:03,525
gon dude, then were they were talking about

2328
01:23:03,525 --> 01:23:05,409
switching to another conference. Right? But they're still

2329
01:23:05,689 --> 01:23:07,945
the cornerstone of the West Coast Conference and

2330
01:23:08,163 --> 01:23:08,903
the W

2331
01:23:09,281 --> 01:23:09,999
is expanded,

2332
01:23:10,637 --> 01:23:12,952
basketball wise and added, you know, added school.

2333
01:23:13,192 --> 01:23:13,692
So

2334
01:23:14,244 --> 01:23:16,244
tough call. I mean, Oregon state Washington state,

2335
01:23:16,564 --> 01:23:17,045
I believe,

2336
01:23:17,604 --> 01:23:19,284
they're the ones that signed this 2 year

2337
01:23:19,284 --> 01:23:21,125
deal to play their basketball against the West

2338
01:23:21,204 --> 01:23:23,128
