00:02:17,974 --> 00:02:19,828
we're not streaming to x today.

60
00:02:21,106 --> 00:02:23,124

Fans form. The minute we hit your hot

71
00:02:44,245 --> 00:02:46,165
button and go into the chat box right

72
00:02:46,165 --> 00:02:46,805
in a question.

73
00:02:47,284 --> 00:02:48,805
John Reilly, we got a ton of topics

74
00:02:48,805 --> 00:02:50,819
on the table. It is the all star

75
00:02:50,819 --> 00:02:52,736
in major League baseball. We're gonna go a

76
00:02:52,736 --> 00:02:55,213
lot of different directions talking baseball, and we've

77
00:02:55,213 --> 00:02:56,411
got a lot of all the sports stores

78
00:02:56,411 --> 00:02:58,821
to cover, start. Start. I mean, we'll go...

79
00:02:59,061 --> 00:03:02,171
Let's talk Pod Dodgers. Both teams really kinda

80
00:03:02,171 --> 00:03:04,245
backed into the All star game, you know,

81
00:03:04,644 --> 00:03:07,037
really disappointing to finish the first half. They're

82
00:03:07,037 --> 00:03:09,120
skid. They're get into the all star break.

83
00:03:09,517 --> 00:03:12,455
The dodgers are in enormous trouble right now

84
00:03:12,455 --> 00:03:15,337
with their pitching staff. They they have 16

85
00:03:15,631 --> 00:03:18,112
pictures on the disabled list. And here they

86
00:03:18,112 --> 00:03:20,824
are. They thought a couple were about to

87
00:03:20,824 --> 00:03:21,701
turn the corner.

88
00:03:22,419 --> 00:03:25,631
Walker B is not making progress at Camel

89
00:03:25,769 --> 00:03:28,254
Ranch in Arizona, He, of course, is on

90
00:03:28,254 --> 00:03:30,403
the disable list. The hip jury is gone.

91
00:03:30,801 --> 00:03:32,712
They're trying to work on mechanics, trying to

92
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,861
get his velocity back that has not worked.

93
00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:38,788
Dustin May was about to progress to bull

94
00:03:39,002 --> 00:03:40,351
sessions at Camel back ranch,

95
00:03:40,986 --> 00:03:43,049
rushed to a hospital over the weekend,

96
00:03:43,857 --> 00:03:45,706
surgery on his esophagus,

97
00:03:46,078 --> 00:03:47,768
a torn esophagus

98
00:03:48,537 --> 00:03:51,254
suffered while he was eating dinner. And was

99
00:03:51,254 --> 00:03:52,294
taken to a hospital,

100
00:03:52,935 --> 00:03:55,254
no physical activity for the next 2 months.

101
00:03:55,574 --> 00:03:57,414
He's done for the rest of the season,

102
00:03:58,464 --> 00:04:00,923
won't be back till next spring training as

103
00:04:00,923 --> 00:04:03,621
he tries to ramp up from 2 elbow

104
00:04:03,621 --> 00:04:05,684
surgeries. The only piece of good news, Clayton

105
00:04:05,842 --> 00:04:08,642
K off first rehab start Oklahoma City, John,

106
00:04:09,278 --> 00:04:09,836
3 innings,

107
00:04:10,472 --> 00:04:10,950
no hits,

108
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:15,088
5 strike outs. No problems. The next 2

109
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:15,588
days

110
00:04:15,979 --> 00:04:17,740
after the start, where you throw a bull

111
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:20,220
pen, a light bull pen. So far so

112
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:22,720
good. K shaw is gonna make another

113
00:04:23,511 --> 00:04:25,499
rehab start at Oklahoma City in the Pacific

114
00:04:25,659 --> 00:04:28,124
Coast this coming Friday. And if that goes

115
00:04:28,124 --> 00:04:29,079
with no setbacks,

116
00:04:29,556 --> 00:04:31,519
maybe coming out of the all star break

117
00:04:31,718 --> 00:04:34,201
he reins rejoin a rotation. They are in

118
00:04:34,257 --> 00:04:34,757
terrible

119
00:04:35,526 --> 00:04:38,224
trouble with their pitching staff, which also then

120
00:04:38,224 --> 00:04:39,572
leads you to the next statement,

121
00:04:40,064 --> 00:04:42,060
or they gonna make a deal or they

122
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:44,215
gonna go get a picture. The pod.

123
00:04:44,614 --> 00:04:47,088
It to me it's weird. The Pod have

124
00:04:47,088 --> 00:04:47,966
5 all stars.

125
00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:51,011
And the powder are a 500 baseball. Oh,

126
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:52,845
it's crazy. And the powder are kinda on

127
00:04:52,845 --> 00:04:53,403
the brink,

128
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,794
holding on to the last rung in the

129
00:04:55,794 --> 00:04:57,563
ladder not trying to fall off. In terms

130
00:04:57,563 --> 00:04:58,760
of the wild card Chase.

131
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:00,197
They win games,

132
00:05:00,915 --> 00:05:02,990
place a surprisingly exciting baseball,

133
00:05:03,548 --> 00:05:04,586
and then they lose series.

134
00:05:05,398 --> 00:05:08,107
There is no answer. They're 50 and 49

135
00:05:08,187 --> 00:05:09,780
And the other thing is they played a

136
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:12,250
lot more games virtually everybody else in baseball.

137
00:05:12,888 --> 00:05:14,720
Everybody's got games in hand on them.

138
00:05:15,454 --> 00:05:16,972
The All star break comes at the right

139
00:05:16,972 --> 00:05:19,689
time for them. Mach needs to get rested.

140
00:05:20,248 --> 00:05:22,405
The pitching staff needs to take a deep

141
00:05:22,405 --> 00:05:22,645
breath.

142
00:05:23,298 --> 00:05:25,372
Luis R has got the issue with the

143
00:05:25,372 --> 00:05:26,090
thumb problem.

144
00:05:26,569 --> 00:05:28,882
He's he's pulled himself out of the all

145
00:05:28,882 --> 00:05:32,093
star game. Fernando Tat is going to have

146
00:05:32,152 --> 00:05:34,103
another r eye, the pain

147
00:05:34,481 --> 00:05:36,637
where the stress fracture was in the thigh

148
00:05:36,637 --> 00:05:39,191
bone has gone away, but he's not doing

149
00:05:39,191 --> 00:05:41,507
any baseball related activities. In fact, he's yet

150
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:43,918
to be allowed. To run. So this is

151
00:05:43,918 --> 00:05:45,755
still a long process there.

152
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:48,972
I mean, the dodgers are in just just

153
00:05:49,031 --> 00:05:50,010
huge trouble

154
00:05:50,324 --> 00:05:52,585
and and I don't know how the pod

155
00:05:52,965 --> 00:05:55,125
are gonna find other players to add to

156
00:05:55,125 --> 00:05:56,965
the roster right now because they're in just

157
00:05:56,965 --> 00:05:59,616
a real tight fit. And we have not

158
00:05:59,616 --> 00:06:00,435
talked about

159
00:06:00,892 --> 00:06:03,204
Mu grove who's only throwing off the front

160
00:06:03,204 --> 00:06:05,676
of the mound is only only throwing some

161
00:06:05,676 --> 00:06:08,082
fast balls and bull pen sessions as thrown

162
00:06:08,082 --> 00:06:10,947
no of the hard braking stuff, which led

163
00:06:10,947 --> 00:06:12,936
first to the shoulder problem, then the elbow

164
00:06:12,936 --> 00:06:14,528
problem. And, of course, da,

165
00:06:15,736 --> 00:06:18,441
reportedly is in Japan because of the family

166
00:06:18,441 --> 00:06:18,941
illness

167
00:06:19,395 --> 00:06:21,861
situation. We don't know when he's coming back.

168
00:06:22,274 --> 00:06:24,768
I assume he's working out on his own

169
00:06:24,826 --> 00:06:26,262
because that's the kind of guy he is,

170
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,772
but they desperately need starting pitching at this

171
00:06:29,772 --> 00:06:31,287
point in time. So John,

172
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:33,138
Here's the magic wand.

173
00:06:34,017 --> 00:06:36,495
Sprinkle some dust, Solve the da problems in

174
00:06:36,495 --> 00:06:38,253
the powder problems. Well, you, it's nice to

175
00:06:38,253 --> 00:06:40,331
hear Clayton K shot is looking good. And

176
00:06:40,331 --> 00:06:42,102
how old is he by the way. 36

177
00:06:42,102 --> 00:06:44,254
plus old man on arm. He says. Yeah.

178
00:06:44,413 --> 00:06:46,326
So, you know, he's coming back that that's

179
00:06:46,326 --> 00:06:48,399
some hope for the dodgers, but this dust

180
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:50,566
man is weird. I mean, I've never heard

181
00:06:50,566 --> 00:06:51,942
of a torn esophagus.

182
00:06:52,637 --> 00:06:54,788
I mean, I I remember when George h

183
00:06:54,788 --> 00:06:57,417
w bush choked on a pretzel in Japan,

184
00:06:58,055 --> 00:07:00,460
but I've never heard of a born esophagus.

185
00:07:00,699 --> 00:07:03,009
Of you? No. I was just absolutely strange,

186
00:07:03,487 --> 00:07:05,877
and he got sick of dinner and felt

187
00:07:05,877 --> 00:07:07,868
horrible. He called the Dodge staff. They brought

188
00:07:07,868 --> 00:07:10,109
him in, born they did whatever they did

189
00:07:10,109 --> 00:07:12,015
in terms of examination. Extras, I'd put them

190
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:12,809
right into surgery.

191
00:07:13,365 --> 00:07:15,509
Well, what's like like, a... Maybe like, a

192
00:07:15,509 --> 00:07:17,910
bone or something that, like, scrape the inside

193
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:19,981
of the throat something toward tissue in the

194
00:07:19,981 --> 00:07:22,929
esophagus. Yes. That's crazy. I mean, especially bad

195
00:07:22,929 --> 00:07:25,239
luck, you know, with a dust injury kids

196
00:07:25,239 --> 00:07:25,739
can't

197
00:07:26,608 --> 00:07:29,462
cloud. Yeah. Exactly. So I mean, yeah. The

198
00:07:29,462 --> 00:07:31,047
dodgers are gonna make a deal, but are

199
00:07:31,047 --> 00:07:33,212
we still only talking about Quan

200
00:07:33,663 --> 00:07:36,791
and and, Evelyn... I mean, are are there

201
00:07:36,791 --> 00:07:38,788
other big names that are kinda coming up?

202
00:07:39,028 --> 00:07:41,265
At this point, no, but again, we're 2

203
00:07:41,265 --> 00:07:43,032
weeks out? From the trade deadline and maybe

204
00:07:43,032 --> 00:07:45,419
somebody else will get into seller mode. The

205
00:07:45,419 --> 00:07:47,329
problem is there's so many teams in baseball

206
00:07:47,329 --> 00:07:49,637
that are right around the 500 level, damn

207
00:07:49,637 --> 00:07:51,962
pad included. Yes. That there's a lot of

208
00:07:51,962 --> 00:07:54,116
teams to say, well, I'm not gonna blow

209
00:07:54,116 --> 00:07:56,271
this sucker up. I'm gonna try to stay

210
00:07:56,271 --> 00:07:58,639
the course and maybe I'll rent a pitcher

211
00:07:58,917 --> 00:08:01,297
that might push me into posts season in

212
00:08:01,297 --> 00:08:03,462
place. So... But the names that we have

213
00:08:03,676 --> 00:08:05,739
talked about in the last 10 days, the

214
00:08:05,739 --> 00:08:08,622
cal quan trill of Colorado, who I really

215
00:08:08,622 --> 00:08:10,301
like Zac Ef of Tampa bay.

216
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:12,937
The the met whatever they're gonna do with

217
00:08:13,097 --> 00:08:13,597
Qui

218
00:08:14,136 --> 00:08:15,195
or Sean Men

219
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:17,496
Those are guys you can probably get at

220
00:08:17,496 --> 00:08:20,356
affordable prices, but from the Pot perspective, everybody

221
00:08:20,356 --> 00:08:22,183
they talk to wants 1 of the young

222
00:08:22,183 --> 00:08:23,533
guys in the farm system.

223
00:08:24,184 --> 00:08:25,940
You know, unless the Pot do a u

224
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:28,094
turn and change their mind and say, okay,

225
00:08:28,573 --> 00:08:30,408
we're gonna get quality and we're gonna give

226
00:08:30,408 --> 00:08:32,659
you Hassan on Kim. Or we're gonna get

227
00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:34,740
quality and we'll give you the young catcher,

228
00:08:34,899 --> 00:08:35,379
Luis Camp

229
00:08:36,339 --> 00:08:38,179
Because they got another catcher deep in the

230
00:08:38,179 --> 00:08:40,100
farm system, but we're not giving the Ethan

231
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,412
sal, we're not giving you leo degrees, and

232
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:45,708
we're just gonna go the course with the

233
00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:47,466
the 2 number 1 picks that are struggling

234
00:08:47,466 --> 00:08:49,639
in the minors right now. In Rob snowing

235
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,220
and Dylan Las. And I think that that

236
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,080
mandate comes from above A aj Pre. So

237
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:55,960
I, you know,

238
00:08:56,853 --> 00:08:58,281
We we spin back to what we talked

239
00:08:58,281 --> 00:09:00,662
about last week. Would do trade On Kim

240
00:09:00,662 --> 00:09:02,010
because he is a walk free agent at

241
00:09:02,010 --> 00:09:03,970
the end of the year. But I only

242
00:09:04,089 --> 00:09:05,847
trade him if I'm getting a really quality

243
00:09:05,847 --> 00:09:08,085
starter. I happen to think Quan trill has

244
00:09:08,085 --> 00:09:11,121
evolved into a very trustworthy starting pitcher. I

245
00:09:11,121 --> 00:09:11,920
might do that.

246
00:09:12,574 --> 00:09:14,322
But I wouldn't I wouldn't deal him for

247
00:09:14,481 --> 00:09:16,309
Sean Man I. I wouldn't deal him for

248
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:18,773
Jose Katana, then you know, the New York

249
00:09:18,853 --> 00:09:19,727
Met terrible,

250
00:09:20,299 --> 00:09:21,737
So that's where we are. And the other

251
00:09:21,737 --> 00:09:23,974
problem is if there's somebody really good out

252
00:09:23,974 --> 00:09:24,054
there.

253
00:09:25,013 --> 00:09:26,051
The guy's up the road,

254
00:09:26,770 --> 00:09:29,730
who've got... Assets to trade and can take

255
00:09:29,730 --> 00:09:32,116
on salary, aka the dodgers, you're gonna have

256
00:09:32,116 --> 00:09:33,945
to compete against those guys off the field

257
00:09:33,945 --> 00:09:36,585
of the trade table, the deadline, in addition

258
00:09:36,585 --> 00:09:38,336
to having to beat them on the field.

259
00:09:38,655 --> 00:09:40,247
Yeah. I mean, it's it's crazy. And then

260
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,918
if some of those guys get... Like, why

261
00:09:41,918 --> 00:09:43,510
wouldn't don't we give up a lot to

262
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:45,753
get a Cal. I mean, sure 2 years

263
00:09:45,753 --> 00:09:47,582
left of ownership. But still he's kind of

264
00:09:47,582 --> 00:09:50,207
like a number 4 type of starters, you

265
00:09:50,207 --> 00:09:51,815
know, and that you could get them and

266
00:09:51,815 --> 00:09:53,646
he can go south on you pretty easily.

267
00:09:53,965 --> 00:09:56,115
I don't know Pal. If he's got a

268
00:09:56,115 --> 00:09:56,991
3.01

269
00:09:56,991 --> 00:09:59,715
era at Cor at Cor. Oh, really? Yeah.

270
00:09:59,955 --> 00:10:02,195
I didn't know that. Please see dummy. You

271
00:10:02,195 --> 00:10:02,754
would know outside.

272
00:10:03,715 --> 00:10:06,274
You would know. But that that... He, of

273
00:10:06,274 --> 00:10:08,434
those guys out there that I just mentioned.

274
00:10:08,928 --> 00:10:10,463
He's probably the most trustworthy.

275
00:10:10,918 --> 00:10:13,010
And you control him for 2 more years

276
00:10:13,624 --> 00:10:15,693
and you know him, and you got Ruben

277
00:10:15,773 --> 00:10:17,603
Dia who I think's a very good pitching

278
00:10:17,603 --> 00:10:19,610
coach. You can... Further refine the guy.

279
00:10:21,844 --> 00:10:23,678
You know, maybe maybe that's the guy you

280
00:10:23,678 --> 00:10:26,629
go get. Of course, doing so. Vi Pro

281
00:10:26,629 --> 00:10:28,716
has to admit. They made a mistake. But

282
00:10:28,716 --> 00:10:30,302
trading the guy away in the Cleveland package

283
00:10:30,302 --> 00:10:32,048
to begin with, which there's nobody left from

284
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,427
the Cleveland package and he gave up Quan

285
00:10:34,427 --> 00:10:34,927
and

286
00:10:35,553 --> 00:10:36,985
Josh Taylor who's in the All star game?

287
00:10:37,224 --> 00:10:37,781
Right. So...

288
00:10:38,735 --> 00:10:41,281
So there were 10 former pod in the

289
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,508
All star game according to Kevin Ac article

290
00:10:43,508 --> 00:10:45,910
this morning. And so I'd imagine these other

291
00:10:45,910 --> 00:10:47,660
teams are saying well, hell, yeah. Pro is

292
00:10:47,660 --> 00:10:49,967
willing to deal his top prospects. I'm gonna

293
00:10:49,967 --> 00:10:50,444
get me some.

294
00:10:51,654 --> 00:10:53,491
I don't think the ownership will let him

295
00:10:53,491 --> 00:10:55,808
deal top prospect. I'll be stunned of a

296
00:10:55,808 --> 00:10:57,726
week from now or July 30 first.

297
00:10:59,099 --> 00:11:01,916
That he has been allowed to trade Sal

298
00:11:02,056 --> 00:11:04,453
or degrees who are the the blue chips,

299
00:11:04,693 --> 00:11:06,611
but they're way down the road. By the

300
00:11:06,611 --> 00:11:09,411
way, sidebar note, the baseball free agent draft,

301
00:11:09,570 --> 00:11:11,713
the college, high school kids that's going on

302
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:14,570
right now. I really like the 2 pad

303
00:11:14,570 --> 00:11:14,729
picks.

304
00:11:15,539 --> 00:11:18,171
The partner drafted 25 and then they drafted

305
00:11:18,171 --> 00:11:18,729
55,

306
00:11:19,128 --> 00:11:21,361
and they've they drafted really well.

307
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:24,073
They've got a 6 foot 4 high school

308
00:11:24,073 --> 00:11:27,352
pitcher from Oklahoma, who's vibrant. He's 94.

309
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:29,022
I looked at him and, it was like

310
00:11:29,101 --> 00:11:31,567
I was watching cole camels cole ham on

311
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:34,608
video. Really, very impressive. And then the second

312
00:11:34,608 --> 00:11:36,526
round they drafted a 6 foot 8 kid,

313
00:11:37,885 --> 00:11:40,842
Texas, Louisiana 6 foot 8 picture, who I

314
00:11:40,842 --> 00:11:43,412
was very impressed with 2 who's got... I

315
00:11:43,412 --> 00:11:46,032
think great upside. Now, they're gonna have to

316
00:11:46,032 --> 00:11:49,764
pay money significant of their signing pool to

317
00:11:49,764 --> 00:11:51,766
keep these kids from going to, Oklahoma state

318
00:11:51,766 --> 00:11:53,357
are going to Louisville, but I think both

319
00:11:53,357 --> 00:11:55,506
those kids have already told them we wanna

320
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,256
sign. So what they did with picks 1

321
00:11:57,256 --> 00:11:59,820
and 2. Now that's Citing for 30 seconds,

322
00:11:59,979 --> 00:12:01,732
The reality is these guys are go into

323
00:12:01,812 --> 00:12:04,202
Class A ball or or the Arizona summer

324
00:12:04,202 --> 00:12:06,169
league. I mean, they are years away. But

325
00:12:06,449 --> 00:12:10,364
these are vibrant, big, hard throwing high school

326
00:12:10,364 --> 00:12:12,041
pictures. So I was I was pretty impressed

327
00:12:12,041 --> 00:12:13,814
what the Fryer did. Well, it's of a

328
00:12:13,814 --> 00:12:15,572
roll the dice. Right? You just try to

329
00:12:15,572 --> 00:12:18,129
mask big arms of big talent and hope

330
00:12:18,129 --> 00:12:19,967
some of them can make it all the

331
00:12:19,967 --> 00:12:22,465
way without getting hurt or some of them

332
00:12:22,605 --> 00:12:24,529
kind can make it here and not have

333
00:12:24,529 --> 00:12:26,279
pro trade them. Yeah. That too. You know,

334
00:12:26,358 --> 00:12:28,188
the the other stat, I went back over

335
00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:30,770
the weekend, I wrote about it, just shocking

336
00:12:31,065 --> 00:12:33,289
of of the 8 first round picks that

337
00:12:33,368 --> 00:12:35,354
Pre has had since he became general manager

338
00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:36,149
2015,

339
00:12:36,467 --> 00:12:38,944
he's traded 6 of the 8 number ones

340
00:12:38,944 --> 00:12:41,168
to other teams, and those guys are playing

341
00:12:41,168 --> 00:12:43,472
pretty well other places. But, you know what

342
00:12:43,472 --> 00:12:45,061
what's it's when... The Pi... Go back to

343
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,490
Josh Taylor for a minute who... You we

344
00:12:46,490 --> 00:12:47,364
said was an all star.

345
00:12:48,254 --> 00:12:50,170
Traded in w. He didn't fit anywhere in

346
00:12:50,329 --> 00:12:52,404
San Diego. Right? He couldn't play out feel.

347
00:12:52,564 --> 00:12:54,001
We didn't have the D h then.

348
00:12:54,719 --> 00:12:56,970
But, yeah, he's legit, but the you know,

349
00:12:57,049 --> 00:12:58,809
he's traded away what? Trey Turner? Who are

350
00:12:58,809 --> 00:13:00,090
the some of the other number ones? My

351
00:13:00,169 --> 00:13:02,009
God. I don't have the list in front

352
00:13:02,009 --> 00:13:03,850
of me, but it's it's a volume.

353
00:13:04,184 --> 00:13:07,453
Of name players who've gone other places and

354
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:10,961
had success. Well, think about previous pod history

355
00:13:10,961 --> 00:13:12,850
of all the number 1 draft picks that

356
00:13:13,129 --> 00:13:16,086
towers and some of his predecessor picked that

357
00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:18,403
never even pan out. Have never even made

358
00:13:18,403 --> 00:13:20,161
it to the major leagues. So I like

359
00:13:20,161 --> 00:13:22,674
the fact that pro has aggressive and flexible

360
00:13:22,735 --> 00:13:25,774
and trying to turns, you know, essentially straw

361
00:13:25,774 --> 00:13:27,294
and into gold, like rum still skin.

362
00:13:28,095 --> 00:13:29,774
But, you know, sometimes the deals don't work

363
00:13:29,774 --> 00:13:31,617
out A lot of times deals don't work

364
00:13:31,617 --> 00:13:32,967
out, and the fact you go look at

365
00:13:32,967 --> 00:13:35,270
the baseball box scores. This lot of expat

366
00:13:35,270 --> 00:13:37,256
lots of places doing pretty well. All their

367
00:13:37,256 --> 00:13:38,924
places. Mh. And all that,

368
00:13:39,733 --> 00:13:42,358
all the Pixie he's had, and all the

369
00:13:42,358 --> 00:13:44,983
free agencies signed, and all the money he

370
00:13:44,983 --> 00:13:45,222
spent.

371
00:13:46,748 --> 00:13:49,524
And the pod are 50 and 49 and

372
00:13:49,524 --> 00:13:51,666
not even a wildcard card team at the

373
00:13:51,745 --> 00:13:53,411
All star break. Yeah. That's insane.

374
00:13:53,982 --> 00:13:55,892
Insane. So we have to talk about the

375
00:13:55,892 --> 00:13:56,392
negatives

376
00:13:56,846 --> 00:13:58,755
along with the positives. So that's a storyline

377
00:13:58,755 --> 00:14:00,267
with Pod and Dodge Baseball.

378
00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:02,597
Feel free if you're a pod fan if

379
00:14:02,597 --> 00:14:04,834
you're a Dodge fan cheese join us in

380
00:14:04,834 --> 00:14:07,631
the chat box in fans form. Now it

381
00:14:07,631 --> 00:14:09,325
is the All star break. We're gonna do

382
00:14:09,325 --> 00:14:11,325
something a little bit different here. Topic number

383
00:14:11,325 --> 00:14:13,485
2. Topic number 2. Yeah. The all star

384
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:15,565
break, and we're we're gonna have the home

385
00:14:15,565 --> 00:14:17,460
run derby, the game, but you wanna take

386
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:18,858
a look at who some of these teams

387
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,776
are that maybe have surprised us. We're gonna

388
00:14:20,776 --> 00:14:21,755
do a little bit of

389
00:14:22,214 --> 00:14:23,733
evaluation here at the All star break. We're

390
00:14:23,733 --> 00:14:25,811
gonna talk about who's had a good first

391
00:14:25,811 --> 00:14:27,743
half of the season. To who's had a

392
00:14:27,743 --> 00:14:29,658
really bad first half of the season? Who

393
00:14:29,658 --> 00:14:31,654
are the surprises who are the disappointment.

394
00:14:32,772 --> 00:14:33,490
All star break,

395
00:14:34,288 --> 00:14:35,406
kind of a report card.

396
00:14:36,219 --> 00:14:39,332
Yankee Baltimore tied for a first place pretty

397
00:14:39,332 --> 00:14:41,487
much in the American League East. That's a

398
00:14:41,487 --> 00:14:43,882
war zone, and the fact that Yankee have

399
00:14:43,882 --> 00:14:44,281
done this.

400
00:14:45,334 --> 00:14:46,371
Without Garrett Cole.

401
00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:50,464
And with injuries to stan and Anthony R

402
00:14:50,842 --> 00:14:53,316
and then judge and the minor nagging things

403
00:14:53,316 --> 00:14:53,875
with so,

404
00:14:54,527 --> 00:14:56,828
That's pretty impressive the yankee or where they

405
00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:58,812
are, right there nip at the heels of

406
00:14:58,812 --> 00:14:59,367
the or.

407
00:14:59,923 --> 00:15:00,954
So that's a surprise.

408
00:15:01,764 --> 00:15:03,284
I think Cleveland is 1 of the best

409
00:15:03,284 --> 00:15:05,445
teams in baseball nobody knows anything about.

410
00:15:06,085 --> 00:15:08,264
Look at the... The Indians have the best

411
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:10,485
bleep in record in the American league. The

412
00:15:10,725 --> 00:15:10,860
Indian.

413
00:15:12,334 --> 00:15:15,045
The guardians, I'm sorry. My heart is always

414
00:15:15,045 --> 00:15:15,683
somewhere else.

415
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,756
She hyphen gardens.

416
00:15:19,843 --> 00:15:21,514
Jose ever Ramirez is is 1 of the

417
00:15:21,514 --> 00:15:22,969
most underrated all stars

418
00:15:23,743 --> 00:15:26,448
star... Superstars in baseball. He's the cornerstone and

419
00:15:26,448 --> 00:15:26,926
the anchor.

420
00:15:27,819 --> 00:15:30,615
Stephen Kwan leads the American league hitting, like,

421
00:15:30,695 --> 00:15:32,692
in the 3 sixties. Now he was on

422
00:15:32,692 --> 00:15:34,210
the deal for a while he's come back

423
00:15:34,210 --> 00:15:36,851
and he's hitting. Cleveland just got just a

424
00:15:36,851 --> 00:15:38,622
unique collection really

425
00:15:39,552 --> 00:15:41,141
young players with a low payroll.

426
00:15:42,269 --> 00:15:44,740
Boston had a miserable start to the season

427
00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:47,290
and just people, that the media in Boston

428
00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:48,406
was just braid,

429
00:15:48,964 --> 00:15:49,761
the ownership.

430
00:15:50,334 --> 00:15:51,690
That you need to blow this thing up,

431
00:15:51,849 --> 00:15:54,003
well, they the ownership said, these kids are

432
00:15:54,003 --> 00:15:55,997
gonna get better, and these kids have gotten

433
00:15:55,997 --> 00:15:58,549
better led by Jared Duran. So Boston demi

434
00:15:58,549 --> 00:15:59,586
me a surprise team.

435
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,799
You tell me how Houston has 50 wins

436
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:04,960
this season, which 6 of their top 7

437
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200
pictures having been on the disabled list with

438
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,770
crippling injuries. And then, of course, we've obviously

439
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:11,684
got the really good philly team, which is

440
00:16:11,684 --> 00:16:13,200
62 and 34,

441
00:16:13,678 --> 00:16:16,549
just bashing the daylight at every everybody at

442
00:16:16,629 --> 00:16:17,746
Citizens Bank ballpark.

443
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:20,873
They've got 4 really established starting pictures. I

444
00:16:20,873 --> 00:16:22,389
did think Dave Dumb. Oscar is he's 1

445
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:24,623
of the best general managers in Baseball. He

446
00:16:24,623 --> 00:16:25,500
never gets any credit,

447
00:16:26,074 --> 00:16:28,306
And for the dodgers to be 56 and

448
00:16:28,306 --> 00:16:30,936
41 with 16 pictures on the disable list,

449
00:16:31,335 --> 00:16:33,646
they have only 1 established daughter in their

450
00:16:33,646 --> 00:16:35,975
rotation. James Pax in the street free agent.

451
00:16:36,534 --> 00:16:38,848
Everybody else is gone. And the dodgers are

452
00:16:38,848 --> 00:16:41,163
still 56 and 41 and half their batting

453
00:16:41,163 --> 00:16:42,280
orders in hitting either.

454
00:16:43,012 --> 00:16:44,365
Top of the battery orders, I think get

455
00:16:44,365 --> 00:16:45,877
to the All star breaks hitting 2 84

456
00:16:45,877 --> 00:16:47,708
the bottom of the battery order hitting 02:08.

457
00:16:48,344 --> 00:16:50,254
And it opens got holes in it. So

458
00:16:50,254 --> 00:16:51,607
those... To me, John,

459
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:53,700
Baltimore yankee in the east,

460
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:57,779
Cleveland, what Boston has grown into, the ones

461
00:16:57,779 --> 00:16:58,980
that have survived the injuries,

462
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:01,299
how dominant Philadelphia is,

463
00:17:02,034 --> 00:17:03,466
Those are the ones to me that I

464
00:17:03,466 --> 00:17:05,615
think are the most pleasant surprises in League

465
00:17:05,615 --> 00:17:05,934
baseball.

466
00:17:06,491 --> 00:17:07,844
Talking about surprises.

467
00:17:08,321 --> 00:17:10,007
I mean, what about the royals? I mean,

468
00:17:10,166 --> 00:17:12,627
they they're doing pretty darn well. They were

469
00:17:12,627 --> 00:17:13,127
and

470
00:17:13,501 --> 00:17:15,168
it's kinda like they hit a wall. Mh.

471
00:17:15,327 --> 00:17:17,074
And they have... They have had some pitching

472
00:17:17,074 --> 00:17:19,403
injuries. And they're just... They are just now

473
00:17:19,403 --> 00:17:22,200
a shade above 500. They've kinda reg.

474
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,597
So unless they do something in the deadline,

475
00:17:24,677 --> 00:17:26,890
they get somebody back healthy. They'll sell Lug

476
00:17:27,326 --> 00:17:29,229
sp is in the All star game. Yeah.

477
00:17:29,467 --> 00:17:32,004
But. But as well as they played the

478
00:17:32,004 --> 00:17:33,273
first 2 and a half to 3 months

479
00:17:33,273 --> 00:17:34,487
of the season. It's

480
00:17:35,033 --> 00:17:36,306
they're just not the same team right now.

481
00:17:36,545 --> 00:17:38,056
So I don't know if that that call

482
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:39,488
them a big surprise out of the gate.

483
00:17:39,647 --> 00:17:41,715
Yes, but not so much now. Yeah. So...

484
00:17:41,969 --> 00:17:43,807
And then in in the in the National

485
00:17:43,807 --> 00:17:46,684
central, is Milwaukee still leading that division? I

486
00:17:46,684 --> 00:17:48,442
mean, that just seems hard to be kind

487
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:50,040
of a mess? Is there any surprise team

488
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,676
there? That's the surprise to me. There is

489
00:17:52,676 --> 00:17:55,058
is... I guess, I'm gonna use the word

490
00:17:55,058 --> 00:17:56,487
surprise because of injuries.

491
00:17:57,281 --> 00:17:58,988
Milwaukee had so many

492
00:17:59,363 --> 00:18:00,636
everyday players get hurt.

493
00:18:01,272 --> 00:18:02,704
And they started the season,

494
00:18:03,261 --> 00:18:06,444
having traded away Cor Burns, having lost brandon

495
00:18:06,523 --> 00:18:07,023
Wood

496
00:18:07,493 --> 00:18:10,356
they're down starters, and they got 55 wins.

497
00:18:10,595 --> 00:18:12,663
They're 55 and 45 here at the break.

498
00:18:13,141 --> 00:18:13,777
So to me,

499
00:18:14,509 --> 00:18:16,027
I I think they have to go down

500
00:18:16,027 --> 00:18:19,383
as a surprise considering what happened the pictures

501
00:18:19,383 --> 00:18:22,508
have. And Atlanta got 53 wins. And Atlanta

502
00:18:22,508 --> 00:18:24,570
does not have its ace spencer strider gone

503
00:18:24,570 --> 00:18:26,394
for the year with the Ob, does not

504
00:18:26,394 --> 00:18:28,217
have the Mvp, Ronald Ac,

505
00:18:28,614 --> 00:18:30,459
Gone for the year, and does not have

506
00:18:30,459 --> 00:18:32,297
the other young out field, or Michael Hill.

507
00:18:32,776 --> 00:18:34,135
He's not been able to stay on the

508
00:18:34,135 --> 00:18:36,452
field and stay healthy, and Atlanta has got

509
00:18:36,452 --> 00:18:38,770
53 wins. So they to me,

510
00:18:39,343 --> 00:18:41,169
I think are are a bit of a

511
00:18:41,169 --> 00:18:43,153
surprise team too. Yeah. I mean, just those

512
00:18:43,153 --> 00:18:45,479
pictures on that team are incredible. I realize,

513
00:18:45,772 --> 00:18:47,677
you know, how much depth they have of

514
00:18:47,677 --> 00:18:50,232
really... Ace pitcher because it was sale? And

515
00:18:50,232 --> 00:18:52,216
then who was the kid that is leading

516
00:18:52,216 --> 00:18:55,311
the league in Cra. Lopez? Yes. You're Lopez?

517
00:18:55,549 --> 00:18:56,604
Yeah. And then

518
00:18:56,913 --> 00:18:58,974
Roland Bach who pitched in the middle of

519
00:18:58,974 --> 00:19:01,512
that series was pretty dominant too. You look

520
00:19:01,512 --> 00:19:02,226
at their roster.

521
00:19:02,781 --> 00:19:04,859
That's pretty much all homegrown grown talent. Yeah.

522
00:19:05,257 --> 00:19:07,407
You know, I love watching Aussie A. That

523
00:19:07,407 --> 00:19:09,717
little guy, man he can launch bombs. September.

524
00:19:10,035 --> 00:19:12,345
Yeah. So, Anyhow, those are the best teams

525
00:19:12,345 --> 00:19:14,192
we talked about. These are this... Price teams

526
00:19:14,192 --> 00:19:15,624
let's talk about the disappointment.

527
00:19:16,579 --> 00:19:17,137
Tampa bay,

528
00:19:18,649 --> 00:19:21,117
all those big bets ravaged by injuries.

529
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:24,422
Yeah, not having Wanda Franco who's been catastrophic,

530
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,076
and he's out of baseball,

531
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:28,867
Tampa bay 43 and 52,

532
00:19:29,186 --> 00:19:31,101
and they've had a lot of pitching injuries

533
00:19:31,101 --> 00:19:33,424
too. So that's that's a real disappointment.

534
00:19:33,981 --> 00:19:36,049
I thought Detroit was going to arrive this

535
00:19:36,049 --> 00:19:38,754
year in the American League central, and the

536
00:19:38,754 --> 00:19:41,396
pictures just not lived up. To the reputation.

537
00:19:42,354 --> 00:19:45,406
Their big power hitting first basement, Spencer To

538
00:19:45,544 --> 00:19:47,777
got sent back to Aaa baseball for a

539
00:19:47,777 --> 00:19:49,931
while. They're just not pitching and they're not

540
00:19:49,931 --> 00:19:50,170
hitting.

541
00:19:51,144 --> 00:19:53,305
Cincinnati has been a disappointment, they've been building

542
00:19:53,305 --> 00:19:55,065
towards really good things with a lot of

543
00:19:55,065 --> 00:19:58,199
homegrown products, and they lost so many. Of

544
00:19:58,199 --> 00:20:00,833
the cornerstone kids in spring training,

545
00:20:01,871 --> 00:20:03,467
including the shorts stop Mc mclean with it.

546
00:20:03,706 --> 00:20:05,942
He's not played with a, a seasoned threatening

547
00:20:05,942 --> 00:20:08,666
shoulder injury. La d Cruz has just been

548
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:10,736
fabulous to watch, but there's so many guys

549
00:20:10,736 --> 00:20:13,204
in Cincinnati, just have been all ding up

550
00:20:13,204 --> 00:20:14,796
and they've been on and off the disable

551
00:20:14,796 --> 00:20:14,955
list.

552
00:20:15,684 --> 00:20:17,453
Obviously, the disgrace of Colorado

553
00:20:17,826 --> 00:20:19,492
with ownership was done there what the Oakland

554
00:20:19,650 --> 00:20:21,316
Days have done in the pod.

555
00:20:21,871 --> 00:20:24,434
I'm really disappointed. To me they've under achieved.

556
00:20:24,595 --> 00:20:26,035
How the hell can you have 5 all

557
00:20:26,035 --> 00:20:28,775
stars and be 50 and 49

558
00:20:28,914 --> 00:20:30,755
and be for the third time the season

559
00:20:30,755 --> 00:20:31,815
on an extended

560
00:20:32,369 --> 00:20:34,925
losing streak. So How don't did anybody else

561
00:20:34,925 --> 00:20:36,523
like to add and they wanna argue with

562
00:20:36,523 --> 00:20:38,920
me about disappointment? Well, what about the Texas

563
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,926
Rangers? Mean, they're the World series champs, and

564
00:20:41,005 --> 00:20:42,437
I think last I checked, they're still below

565
00:20:42,437 --> 00:20:44,982
500. Record of injuries. Mh. No pictures.

566
00:20:45,857 --> 00:20:48,337
None. I Corey Sea has been hurt at

567
00:20:48,337 --> 00:20:49,371
least 3 times.

568
00:20:50,246 --> 00:20:52,631
They're out. Their power hitting out fillers have

569
00:20:52,631 --> 00:20:55,589
had injured Ado Garcia. Those guys have been

570
00:20:55,589 --> 00:20:57,259
hurt. So they just never been able to

571
00:20:57,259 --> 00:20:59,089
put a full team on the field. If

572
00:20:59,089 --> 00:21:00,840
it were the team that won the world

573
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:01,237
series,

574
00:21:01,969 --> 00:21:03,963
last year, they'd probably be in first place

575
00:21:03,963 --> 00:21:05,957
or fighting for first place, but instead. They

576
00:21:05,957 --> 00:21:07,791
got their best part of their team is

577
00:21:07,791 --> 00:21:09,466
on the disable list. Yeah. Well, then the

578
00:21:09,546 --> 00:21:11,301
Met 2 another bomb of a team. And

579
00:21:11,301 --> 00:21:13,234
they got all that payroll and what are...

580
00:21:13,315 --> 00:21:14,595
How they do? They're calling them on the

581
00:21:14,595 --> 00:21:16,515
cusp but they... Yeah. They got... They've had

582
00:21:16,515 --> 00:21:18,914
a better last 2 months than hard start.

583
00:21:19,727 --> 00:21:21,716
But their problem is they're they're living on

584
00:21:21,716 --> 00:21:24,262
borrowed time. They got so many german starting

585
00:21:24,262 --> 00:21:26,193
pictures. And again, these are the guys that

586
00:21:26,504 --> 00:21:29,127
got rid of Max Sc and Ver and

587
00:21:29,127 --> 00:21:32,068
all these guys a year ago, and III

588
00:21:32,068 --> 00:21:33,817
looked at the rotation opening day. I said,

589
00:21:34,469 --> 00:21:35,904
this is what you're putting on the field.

590
00:21:36,382 --> 00:21:37,817
You're not gonna win. I think this is

591
00:21:37,817 --> 00:21:40,448
a transition year, and I think their... The

592
00:21:40,448 --> 00:21:43,253
contracts are expiring and deferred money's by. Now

593
00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:44,689
I think the bets are gonna dive back

594
00:21:44,689 --> 00:21:47,241
in to free agency and crank their payroll

595
00:21:47,241 --> 00:21:49,076
up again, but this is... It's not a...

596
00:21:49,235 --> 00:21:50,990
It's it's a better team right now than

597
00:21:50,990 --> 00:21:51,649
it was

598
00:21:52,919 --> 00:21:55,464
from memorial day weekend. Mh. But it's... I

599
00:21:55,464 --> 00:21:57,054
don't think it's a playoff team by any

600
00:21:57,054 --> 00:21:57,849
stretch and,

601
00:21:58,406 --> 00:22:00,792
you know, their future is gonna be their

602
00:22:00,792 --> 00:22:03,043
future. They gotta deal with Peter Because he's

603
00:22:03,043 --> 00:22:05,121
a walk free agent represented by you know

604
00:22:05,121 --> 00:22:07,278
who? Scott Bo, who takes his people to,

605
00:22:07,678 --> 00:22:09,596
free agents. You got a brother. Yeah. So

606
00:22:09,596 --> 00:22:11,089
that's where we are. So that's the all

607
00:22:11,289 --> 00:22:13,049
star break. We're gonna enjoy home derby. The

608
00:22:13,049 --> 00:22:14,190
game is gonna be fascinating.

609
00:22:14,730 --> 00:22:15,549
Cor Burns

610
00:22:15,929 --> 00:22:18,169
Milwaukee, brewer now with the oils will start

611
00:22:18,169 --> 00:22:21,625
against Pittsburgh, Rookie Paul schemes. With his 100

612
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:23,464
mile an hour of fast ball, so that'll

613
00:22:23,464 --> 00:22:25,144
be fun at least for the first to

614
00:22:25,144 --> 00:22:26,445
see how sk does

615
00:22:26,825 --> 00:22:29,065
against the superstars and we'll have some pod

616
00:22:29,065 --> 00:22:31,393
there. You gotta comment about your favorite team,

617
00:22:32,270 --> 00:22:34,902
started fast. Hasn't done well. Who do you

618
00:22:34,902 --> 00:22:37,613
blame? Feel free, jump on board of fans

619
00:22:37,613 --> 00:22:37,852
for.

620
00:22:38,824 --> 00:22:40,660
You know the best part of July once

621
00:22:40,660 --> 00:22:42,576
we get beyond vacation and all that,

622
00:22:44,092 --> 00:22:46,726
at the nfl. The Nfl just around the

623
00:22:46,726 --> 00:22:48,899
corner. Next stop Yeah. I mean, it's unbelievable

624
00:22:48,899 --> 00:22:51,059
the Nfl is 24 7 all year long.

625
00:22:52,259 --> 00:22:52,740
Chargers,

626
00:22:53,140 --> 00:22:56,259
first teamed open prices in training camp. Tomorrow.

627
00:22:56,994 --> 00:22:58,035
Wow. Jim H.

628
00:22:58,595 --> 00:22:58,994
Debut,

629
00:22:59,875 --> 00:23:02,615
chargers move into their hundred 50000

630
00:23:02,994 --> 00:23:03,815
square foot

631
00:23:04,195 --> 00:23:06,035
practice facility el gun.

632
00:23:06,608 --> 00:23:07,961
It's really state of the art.

633
00:23:08,836 --> 00:23:10,347
And this is something a span had to

634
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:12,415
pay for. Nobody gave many money for the

635
00:23:12,415 --> 00:23:14,102
first time in his life. He had to...

636
00:23:14,261 --> 00:23:16,172
He had to float alone to make this

637
00:23:16,172 --> 00:23:18,243
happen, but it's supposed to be a phenomenal

638
00:23:18,243 --> 00:23:19,358
state of the art facility.

639
00:23:19,915 --> 00:23:21,588
So a har with all of his off

640
00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:22,088
seasons

641
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,640
speeches after he got hired from the University

642
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,119
of Michigan.

643
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,759
Now we look at the roster and we

644
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:29,599
find out what they're really like on the

645
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:30,960
field and this is gonna be a bit

646
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,599
of a challenge.

647
00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:34,965
This coach is a proven commodity. His quarterback,

648
00:23:35,124 --> 00:23:37,277
Justin Herbert is a proven commodity?

649
00:23:37,756 --> 00:23:40,307
The question is, does he have enough at

650
00:23:40,307 --> 00:23:41,160
all the other

651
00:23:41,518 --> 00:23:43,752
critical positions, and that's that's what the next

652
00:23:43,752 --> 00:23:44,310
7 weeks?

653
00:23:44,948 --> 00:23:47,181
Gonna be about for the chargers. Do they

654
00:23:47,181 --> 00:23:49,255
have the right running backs to replace the

655
00:23:49,255 --> 00:23:50,611
do everything Austin Ne?

656
00:23:51,264 --> 00:23:54,048
Can they replace the hundred reception guys? It'll

657
00:23:54,048 --> 00:23:55,957
be a different receiving core because there is

658
00:23:55,957 --> 00:23:57,946
no keen island There is no mike williams?

659
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:01,316
I like their offensive front. They have 3

660
00:24:01,316 --> 00:24:03,154
number 1 draft picks and they move tray

661
00:24:03,154 --> 00:24:03,654
pip

662
00:24:04,033 --> 00:24:06,031
inside the offensive guard where I think that

663
00:24:06,031 --> 00:24:07,550
big wide body is gonna do well.

664
00:24:08,284 --> 00:24:10,441
Got approve a little bit about whether or

665
00:24:10,441 --> 00:24:12,439
not they can stop the run defensive because

666
00:24:12,439 --> 00:24:15,156
it's all new defensive tackle, and they do

667
00:24:15,156 --> 00:24:17,009
have the perimeter rush guys. There's no doubt

668
00:24:17,009 --> 00:24:18,289
there that you got Bo. You got Kill

669
00:24:18,289 --> 00:24:19,730
lil Mack and you got the kid to

670
00:24:19,730 --> 00:24:22,690
a From Usc, what a very good rookie

671
00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:23,009
season,

672
00:24:23,650 --> 00:24:24,950
very different secondary.

673
00:24:25,980 --> 00:24:28,622
The question is, can they be tough guys

674
00:24:28,677 --> 00:24:30,764
defensive and they're replacing a bunch of people

675
00:24:30,899 --> 00:24:33,279
in the interior of that difference defensive front?

676
00:24:33,517 --> 00:24:35,835
I'm... I'm fascinated to see what the bolts

677
00:24:35,835 --> 00:24:38,217
are gonna be. It's easy for me to

678
00:24:38,217 --> 00:24:39,328
say, love Har.

679
00:24:40,043 --> 00:24:41,631
Great respect for Justin Herbert.

680
00:24:42,362 --> 00:24:44,350
But, you know, you need a 53 man

681
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:46,100
roster and I just don't know that the

682
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:48,566
chargers have enough of the right guys at

683
00:24:48,566 --> 00:24:49,123
this point,

684
00:24:49,998 --> 00:24:50,317
to be,

685
00:24:51,048 --> 00:24:52,003
to be a playoff team,

686
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:55,129
please don't mention to me Super Bowl. That's

687
00:24:55,266 --> 00:24:58,313
absurd in a very, very tough division. So

688
00:24:58,703 --> 00:25:01,011
lot of things that they gotta get answers

689
00:25:01,011 --> 00:25:03,159
to questions that start tomorrow,

690
00:25:04,034 --> 00:25:05,944
first day in the facility and on the

691
00:25:05,944 --> 00:25:07,536
practice real for Jim Har on the bolts.

692
00:25:07,869 --> 00:25:09,624
And John Reilly riley says, I don't know

693
00:25:09,624 --> 00:25:10,900
what the heck to make of the chargers

694
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:12,655
yet. It's still such a mystery, you know?

695
00:25:13,133 --> 00:25:15,606
But I'm just going back to Har and

696
00:25:15,606 --> 00:25:17,541
kind of his scheme, his brand

697
00:25:18,013 --> 00:25:20,738
Should we expect the ratio of run pass

698
00:25:20,873 --> 00:25:23,575
to change this coming year, then it's been

699
00:25:23,575 --> 00:25:25,498
in the past? So we're gonna try. That's

700
00:25:25,498 --> 00:25:27,251
why they drafted Joe alt. That's why they

701
00:25:27,251 --> 00:25:28,923
have 3 number ones in the front. That's

702
00:25:28,923 --> 00:25:30,995
why they have blocking tie ins and jumbo

703
00:25:30,995 --> 00:25:32,030
packages and all that.

704
00:25:32,681 --> 00:25:34,347
And they got tough guy running back us

705
00:25:34,347 --> 00:25:35,538
head edwards, but he's got a lot of

706
00:25:35,538 --> 00:25:36,807
miles on them, and he's coming off in

707
00:25:36,807 --> 00:25:39,188
knee situation in baltimore. And he doesn't have

708
00:25:39,188 --> 00:25:41,112
a hiss stan healthy during the course of

709
00:25:41,112 --> 00:25:42,705
the season. They do have J k Do.

710
00:25:43,183 --> 00:25:45,276
They got the young running back Isaiah spill

711
00:25:45,652 --> 00:25:47,642
behind him. So this will be fascinating to

712
00:25:47,642 --> 00:25:50,045
see tree if they from a roster standpoint,

713
00:25:50,283 --> 00:25:52,988
John, are a complete football team. I don't

714
00:25:52,988 --> 00:25:54,182
think they are right now.

715
00:25:54,818 --> 00:25:56,489
Now that I I do think they'll run

716
00:25:56,489 --> 00:25:56,887
at some.

717
00:25:57,539 --> 00:26:00,019
I think they'll better pass protect Herbert,

718
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,500
but then then that spins to the next

719
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:02,900
question.

720
00:26:03,539 --> 00:26:05,460
Can you tell me who your star wide

721
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:08,584
receiver is? I like Joshua Palmer. Big 6

722
00:26:08,584 --> 00:26:10,973
5 kid tough guy, catches balls, but he's

723
00:26:10,973 --> 00:26:12,885
been ding. I don't know what to make

724
00:26:12,885 --> 00:26:14,876
a Quentin Johnston, the high number 1 draft

725
00:26:14,876 --> 00:26:17,602
pick. Who dropped more passes last year just

726
00:26:17,602 --> 00:26:19,219
like a drop passes at Tc.

727
00:26:19,915 --> 00:26:22,467
I'm gonna be fascinated to see Jd Chalk

728
00:26:22,467 --> 00:26:24,461
who came from Carolina as a free agent.

729
00:26:25,033 --> 00:26:26,964
Guy is a track record of big yard

730
00:26:27,021 --> 00:26:29,008
plays, but he hasn't stayed on the field

731
00:26:29,008 --> 00:26:29,485
consistently.

732
00:26:30,518 --> 00:26:31,949
Those are your top receivers.

733
00:26:32,506 --> 00:26:34,016
There's is no pro bowl there.

734
00:26:34,825 --> 00:26:35,325
So

735
00:26:35,696 --> 00:26:38,257
we'll have to see how quickly the group

736
00:26:39,025 --> 00:26:40,873
is supposed to catch balls from Herbert

737
00:26:41,324 --> 00:26:43,324
works. And can they run the ball with

738
00:26:43,324 --> 00:26:45,390
the consistency that they need to allow Herbert

739
00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:47,376
to be a great great quarterback. And I

740
00:26:47,376 --> 00:26:49,601
happen to think he's he's a really fine

741
00:26:49,601 --> 00:26:50,101
quarterback.

742
00:26:50,650 --> 00:26:52,250
And the other side, when the other guys

743
00:26:52,250 --> 00:26:54,730
got the ball, you're gonna stop them because

744
00:26:54,730 --> 00:26:56,090
they I haven't stopped them in years.

745
00:26:56,570 --> 00:26:57,789
Right? A big

746
00:26:58,090 --> 00:27:00,009
issue. So that's the charger story.

747
00:27:00,503 --> 00:27:03,363
Other football story, news and notes here. Yeah.

748
00:27:03,681 --> 00:27:06,064
Around the Mountain West. Yeah. This is this

749
00:27:06,064 --> 00:27:06,778
is interesting.

750
00:27:07,493 --> 00:27:09,877
I think it's an... It's the ultimate insult.

751
00:27:10,768 --> 00:27:13,480
The Mountain West Conference pre season Poll picks

752
00:27:13,639 --> 00:27:16,771
San Diego state to finish number 8. I

753
00:27:16,829 --> 00:27:19,701
understand nobody knows who's on this roster because

754
00:27:19,701 --> 00:27:21,710
they have I just back... Went back and

755
00:27:21,710 --> 00:27:23,645
canada. They have 37

756
00:27:23,783 --> 00:27:26,893
who have transferred in this year. Some of

757
00:27:26,893 --> 00:27:30,177
them came after spring football. So when they

758
00:27:30,177 --> 00:27:32,643
get in pads August first for the month

759
00:27:32,643 --> 00:27:34,712
long pre season camp at San Diego State,

760
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:36,803
they'll be... Wearing in the colors and hitting

761
00:27:37,034 --> 00:27:38,546
with a new playbook and a new head

762
00:27:38,546 --> 00:27:41,251
coach. I understand. That's why they were voted

763
00:27:41,251 --> 00:27:43,798
eighth. I don't understand why nobody paid any

764
00:27:43,798 --> 00:27:47,023
attention. To the brilliant thing Sean Lewis did

765
00:27:47,241 --> 00:27:48,060
at Colorado,

766
00:27:48,757 --> 00:27:50,431
in 2 thirds of a season with s

767
00:27:50,591 --> 00:27:52,585
Sanders, what he did prior to that for

768
00:27:52,585 --> 00:27:54,913
2 straight record setting years at kent state,

769
00:27:55,392 --> 00:27:56,829
what he did before that at Bowling Green,

770
00:27:56,988 --> 00:27:58,505
what he did prior to that at Syracuse,

771
00:27:58,664 --> 00:27:59,324
the guys

772
00:27:59,702 --> 00:28:00,920
offenses statistically

773
00:28:01,298 --> 00:28:02,415
have been phenomenal.

774
00:28:02,909 --> 00:28:04,260
So they're bringing a lot of people in.

775
00:28:05,214 --> 00:28:06,963
37 transfers in.

776
00:28:07,679 --> 00:28:08,655
34

777
00:28:09,030 --> 00:28:11,653
left the program. For all wide variety of

778
00:28:11,653 --> 00:28:15,117
reasons. Here's the shocker to me. Only 16

779
00:28:15,256 --> 00:28:16,952
of the 34 who've left

780
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:18,366
have signed anywhere.

781
00:28:19,563 --> 00:28:20,280
18 others,

782
00:28:20,919 --> 00:28:22,035
no place to go to play.

783
00:28:22,609 --> 00:28:23,970
And I just... Had I tend to think

784
00:28:23,970 --> 00:28:26,289
too many kids bailed out on Sean Lewis

785
00:28:26,289 --> 00:28:27,730
without giving him a chance to go through

786
00:28:27,730 --> 00:28:28,630
a spring ball

787
00:28:28,930 --> 00:28:31,262
and find out how Vibrant is offense could

788
00:28:31,262 --> 00:28:32,298
be might be etcetera.

789
00:28:32,855 --> 00:28:35,086
Too many people, whispered and kids ears, too

790
00:28:35,086 --> 00:28:37,795
many kids don't the opinion, new coach. He's

791
00:28:37,795 --> 00:28:39,708
not Brady hawk. I'm not gonna stay.

792
00:28:41,155 --> 00:28:42,132
18 aztec

793
00:28:42,983 --> 00:28:44,493
don't have a place to play,

794
00:28:45,128 --> 00:28:47,751
which including the number 1 running back Anthony

795
00:28:47,910 --> 00:28:49,181
Mc from cathedral,

796
00:28:49,834 --> 00:28:52,231
and Garrett Fountain, who was a multi year

797
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:54,628
starter at defensive event who bailed really early.

798
00:28:55,347 --> 00:28:57,265
Don't understand why why kids would do that.

799
00:28:57,425 --> 00:28:59,671
So that's That's the San Diego state headline.

800
00:29:00,149 --> 00:29:02,697
It's quite a story at Colorado state. Now,

801
00:29:03,175 --> 00:29:03,993
the capitalist

802
00:29:04,449 --> 00:29:07,412
c host here who thinks everything is great

803
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:09,488
with the transfer portal and the N n.

804
00:29:10,127 --> 00:29:12,202
Here's the story at Colorado State. Jordan Jay

805
00:29:12,362 --> 00:29:14,278
Nor on who I think Done a really

806
00:29:14,278 --> 00:29:15,715
good job as a coach in this conference.

807
00:29:15,969 --> 00:29:16,846
Developing offenses.

808
00:29:17,404 --> 00:29:19,319
Jay Nor got a quarterback that threw for

809
00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:20,196
3400

810
00:29:20,196 --> 00:29:22,190
yards his first year in the program,

811
00:29:23,227 --> 00:29:24,524
and he accused

812
00:29:25,874 --> 00:29:26,933
Kansas state

813
00:29:27,311 --> 00:29:28,290
of tampering

814
00:29:28,987 --> 00:29:31,861
with Brandon Nico pelosi. The star quarterback at

815
00:29:31,941 --> 00:29:34,496
Cs shoot, and Nico pelosi threw for 3600

816
00:29:34,496 --> 00:29:35,109
plus yards

817
00:29:35,468 --> 00:29:38,173
22 touchdown first time we put the uniform

818
00:29:38,173 --> 00:29:39,287
on in Fort Collins.

819
00:29:40,242 --> 00:29:44,101
He says, a Colorado state quarterback was contacted

820
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,697
by Kansas state coaches

821
00:29:46,074 --> 00:29:48,307
who offered Nikola pelosi 600000

822
00:29:48,307 --> 00:29:50,642
dollars of N nih money to leave

823
00:29:51,019 --> 00:29:51,896
to go to k state.

824
00:29:52,869 --> 00:29:54,227
That's happening in a lot of places.

825
00:29:54,946 --> 00:29:57,604
You can't contact a player

826
00:29:57,982 --> 00:29:59,980
if his name's not in the transfer portal.

827
00:30:00,299 --> 00:30:02,305
Now Nick name is not in the transfer

828
00:30:02,305 --> 00:30:04,933
portal. So Jane Real wants the Nc double

829
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:05,649
to go in and say,

830
00:30:06,605 --> 00:30:07,879
disciplined Kansas state.

831
00:30:09,088 --> 00:30:11,477
For making any legal coaching contacts with my

832
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:14,105
quarterback who's here in spring football and has

833
00:30:14,105 --> 00:30:16,334
not in the transfer report. Can't allow that

834
00:30:16,334 --> 00:30:16,732
to happen.

835
00:30:17,464 --> 00:30:19,458
But the capitalist is c host says everything's

836
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:21,452
fine. So those of the stories at San

837
00:30:21,611 --> 00:30:23,446
Diego State and Cs you and as your

838
00:30:23,446 --> 00:30:25,360
turn to respond from La field. From Left

839
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,529
field. Okay. First of all, if you If

840
00:30:27,529 --> 00:30:28,170
you're, you know,

841
00:30:28,970 --> 00:30:30,970
broadcaster, and you've got a great career and

842
00:30:30,970 --> 00:30:33,369
as some other radio station or Nfl team

843
00:30:33,369 --> 00:30:34,730
offers you big money.

844
00:30:35,383 --> 00:30:36,497
I think you should be able to go.

845
00:30:36,656 --> 00:30:38,803
I'd like that. But in this particular case,

846
00:30:39,201 --> 00:30:41,747
there are rules with transfer portal can't contact.

847
00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:44,474
I'm surprised they didn't have, like, 2 or

848
00:30:44,474 --> 00:30:47,347
3 go between, you know, to... Because you

849
00:30:47,347 --> 00:30:49,343
don't ask them directly. You gotta have 2

850
00:30:49,343 --> 00:30:51,352
or 3 in the middle. Right? And how

851
00:30:51,352 --> 00:30:53,345
did the coach it kansas... At Colorado state

852
00:30:53,345 --> 00:30:54,722
get whiff of us? Evidently,

853
00:30:55,179 --> 00:30:57,171
the quarterback said I am staying. There were

854
00:30:57,171 --> 00:30:58,447
rumors that were swirling?

855
00:30:59,259 --> 00:31:01,651
And Nicholas Pelosi said, I'm staying here. I'm

856
00:31:01,651 --> 00:31:02,767
gonna be a Ram. We're gonna play in

857
00:31:02,767 --> 00:31:04,361
the mountain in West Conference. Maybe we're gonna

858
00:31:04,361 --> 00:31:06,514
win all, the conference slip bars. And by

859
00:31:06,514 --> 00:31:07,391
the way, yeah.

860
00:31:08,204 --> 00:31:09,722
The rumors out there or 2 I was

861
00:31:09,722 --> 00:31:11,561
contacted by Kansas state and a coach.

862
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,399
And by the way, my name not in

863
00:31:13,399 --> 00:31:16,057
the portal. I mean, it it's an egregious

864
00:31:16,755 --> 00:31:18,682
violation, I think. It it is a violation

865
00:31:18,682 --> 00:31:20,193
of the rules, but I just wonder about

866
00:31:20,193 --> 00:31:21,942
the rules. But going back to San Diego

867
00:31:22,101 --> 00:31:25,224
State, I love head coaches that are innovative

868
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,156
and experiment, and they They kinda have, like

869
00:31:28,156 --> 00:31:30,619
a, you know, double make care attitude about

870
00:31:30,619 --> 00:31:33,162
trying new things. And I think Sean Lewis

871
00:31:33,162 --> 00:31:35,982
is gonna be that. This whole Aztec fast

872
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:38,663
brand. I'm anxious to learn about it. I

873
00:31:38,663 --> 00:31:40,016
don't know if they've got the players that

874
00:31:40,016 --> 00:31:41,527
can fit the system. I have no clue,

875
00:31:41,924 --> 00:31:43,855
but I'd like what he brings to the

876
00:31:43,855 --> 00:31:45,855
table. It's interesting. We go to his press

877
00:31:45,855 --> 00:31:47,214
conference I had to bring you to 1

878
00:31:47,214 --> 00:31:48,734
of these, You know, you're kinda in the

879
00:31:48,734 --> 00:31:50,575
working media and now your hands are dirty

880
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:50,815
too.

881
00:31:51,390 --> 00:31:52,829
The 1 that created this podcast.

882
00:31:53,630 --> 00:31:54,690
His press conferences.

883
00:31:55,230 --> 00:31:57,789
He talks so fast. It's almost like his

884
00:31:57,789 --> 00:32:00,359
offense plays that fast. It just He just

885
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,507
bus through whatever the answer to the question

886
00:32:02,507 --> 00:32:03,802
is next c and.

887
00:32:04,575 --> 00:32:06,819
So I'm fascinated. I'd like him I was

888
00:32:06,819 --> 00:32:08,973
big Brady. Hope fan, Brady from old school

889
00:32:08,973 --> 00:32:11,128
different school. This guy is a new breed

890
00:32:11,128 --> 00:32:11,926
guy. I...

891
00:32:12,724 --> 00:32:14,720
I'll be fascinated to see how they hit

892
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,442
the floor running in the non conference games

893
00:32:17,442 --> 00:32:19,034
which are gonna be hard. And by the

894
00:32:19,034 --> 00:32:21,184
way, it's not my job to sell tickets,

895
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:22,696

00:32:23,268 --> 00:32:25,917
they get Oregon state here, they get Washington

897
00:32:26,133 --> 00:32:28,600

Football games to go see. So that's the

901
00:32:34,893 --> 00:32:37,589
coverage of the Aztec techs and Colorado state.

902
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:40,047

00:33:22,024 --> 00:33:23,932

925
00:33:25,143 --> 00:33:26,899
And our podcast brought to you by North

926
00:33:27,058 --> 00:33:29,692
County I centers of Pow and Es. I

927
00:33:29,692 --> 00:33:32,007
don't know where you're watching and our Zoom

928
00:33:32,007 --> 00:33:32,805

00:33:33,537 --> 00:33:35,368

930
00:33:35,368 --> 00:33:37,596
where you live in San Diego County. You're

931
00:33:37,596 --> 00:33:39,268
all gonna need help with your eyes. And

932
00:33:39,268 --> 00:33:41,593
whether that's just a vision test, or whether

933
00:33:41,593 --> 00:33:43,369
that's something much more significant

934
00:33:43,986 --> 00:33:46,002
because we're all gonna have eye difficulties,

935
00:33:46,619 --> 00:33:49,347
whether that's cataracts, whether that might be dry

936
00:33:49,347 --> 00:33:52,138
eye, whether that's an eye infection. When you

937
00:33:52,138 --> 00:33:54,372
need help with your eyes, think North County

938
00:33:54,372 --> 00:33:56,605

00:36:11,788 --> 00:36:14,895
Pacific Thursdays at 1PM Pacific. John, we move

1001
00:36:14,895 --> 00:36:17,065
on to the second half of our Monday

1002
00:36:17,065 --> 00:36:20,264
bonus podcast. Yeah. Nba summer Lee. We got

1003
00:36:20,264 --> 00:36:22,264
some updates on some of our locals. Yeah.

1004
00:36:22,505 --> 00:36:24,025
Some are doing good. Some are not doing

1005
00:36:24,025 --> 00:36:25,360
good and some got hurt

1006
00:36:25,877 --> 00:36:28,104
let's just do a quick review. The lakers

1007
00:36:28,104 --> 00:36:30,331
are win list right now in the Nba

1008
00:36:30,331 --> 00:36:30,729
summer league.

1009
00:36:31,525 --> 00:36:34,255
Ronnie James, in the most minutes he's played

1010
00:36:34,255 --> 00:36:35,635
played 29 minutes

1011
00:36:37,054 --> 00:36:37,875
against Miami

1012
00:36:38,175 --> 00:36:39,375
and and then against Houston.

1013
00:36:39,949 --> 00:36:41,380
3 for 14 shooting,

1014
00:36:41,858 --> 00:36:44,244
0 for 8 from the arc. He's now

1015
00:36:44,244 --> 00:36:45,779
6 for 26

1016
00:36:45,995 --> 00:36:48,223
in Nba summer league games and the lakers

1017
00:36:48,223 --> 00:36:50,067
or her 1. So he is just... He's

1018
00:36:50,067 --> 00:36:51,362
overwhelmed. He's not struggling

1019
00:36:51,815 --> 00:36:52,372
at all.

1020
00:36:53,167 --> 00:36:55,393
I will say Dalton Connect is playing really,

1021
00:36:55,631 --> 00:36:57,958
really well. Last so 2 games, scored 20

1022
00:36:57,958 --> 00:36:58,837
and 25.

1023
00:36:59,236 --> 00:37:01,153
He's looked like he's found his shot. He's

1024
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:03,710
looked like he's found more comfort zones in

1025
00:37:03,710 --> 00:37:05,478
terms of the ball on the floor going

1026
00:37:05,478 --> 00:37:08,421
to the basket foul in addition to hitting

1027
00:37:08,421 --> 00:37:08,739
threes.

1028
00:37:09,455 --> 00:37:10,807
We talked about the aztec ticks,

1029
00:37:11,699 --> 00:37:14,971
Jayden Lid. I I watched closely. Minnesota first

1030
00:37:14,971 --> 00:37:16,008
game against Houston,

1031
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:18,881
and he looked a little bit overwhelmed. He

1032
00:37:18,881 --> 00:37:21,852
didn't do anything offensive which kind surprised me.

1033
00:37:22,012 --> 00:37:24,170
He was first guy off the bench he

1034
00:37:24,170 --> 00:37:25,369
was part of the second unit.

1035
00:37:26,008 --> 00:37:28,805
He played a total of 13 minutes. No

1036
00:37:28,805 --> 00:37:29,305
points

1037
00:37:30,493 --> 00:37:31,209
2 rebound,

1038
00:37:31,846 --> 00:37:32,902
1 block shots

1039
00:37:33,516 --> 00:37:36,698
and 4 valves in 13 minutes. Say a

1040
00:37:36,698 --> 00:37:38,152
little bit overwhelmed

1041
00:37:38,543 --> 00:37:40,373
Jaden and Led at this point in time.

1042
00:37:41,168 --> 00:37:43,953
You send these guys into competition in the

1043
00:37:43,953 --> 00:37:45,328
summer league and there's risk

1044
00:37:45,796 --> 00:37:48,335
Denver lost its first round pick. He's gone

1045
00:37:48,335 --> 00:37:50,001
for the year. Now they had just acquired

1046
00:37:50,001 --> 00:37:52,222
him right after the draft day,

1047
00:37:53,034 --> 00:37:55,835
they've lost Du holmes, a 06:11 kid from

1048
00:37:55,835 --> 00:37:56,954
the University of Dayton,

1049
00:37:57,514 --> 00:37:58,014
rupture

1050
00:37:58,315 --> 00:37:59,994
achilles tend, not good.

1051
00:38:00,729 --> 00:38:02,487
In terms of the 1 in 2 picks,

1052
00:38:03,126 --> 00:38:03,366
Zachary,

1053
00:38:04,724 --> 00:38:08,021
the number 1 pick from Atlanta. Pretty competitive

1054
00:38:08,732 --> 00:38:10,639
plan with the pigs, but the kid out

1055
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:11,116
of France,

1056
00:38:11,672 --> 00:38:14,158
he kinda struggled at points in time, but

1057
00:38:14,771 --> 00:38:16,360
I think I think he wound up with

1058
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,098
5 baskets

1059
00:38:17,409 --> 00:38:20,199
maybe 5 rebound, couple block shots. He was

1060
00:38:20,199 --> 00:38:21,156
really active.

1061
00:38:21,794 --> 00:38:24,106
The second pick on the draft of the

1062
00:38:24,106 --> 00:38:25,860
other French kid, Alexander Sa,

1063
00:38:26,671 --> 00:38:29,609
really overwhelmed. I think he was maybe 3

1064
00:38:29,609 --> 00:38:31,594
for 11, couple of foul,

1065
00:38:32,547 --> 00:38:34,000
couple of rebound just

1066
00:38:34,626 --> 00:38:36,529
that level of play of the big against

1067
00:38:36,529 --> 00:38:38,115
the big. He just really had a tough

1068
00:38:38,115 --> 00:38:40,097
time. I know it only counts as these

1069
00:38:40,097 --> 00:38:41,763
were the first games this weekend.

1070
00:38:42,413 --> 00:38:44,166
In the Las Vegas summer league for all

1071
00:38:44,166 --> 00:38:46,077
these marquee players. So we'll keep an eye

1072
00:38:46,077 --> 00:38:47,750
as as we go in the next 2

1073
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:49,821
weeks to see how the rest of these

1074
00:38:49,821 --> 00:38:51,197
draft picks work. But

1075
00:38:51,668 --> 00:38:54,553
recession shade was pretty competitive and Alexander Sa

1076
00:38:54,848 --> 00:38:55,325
was not.

1077
00:38:55,961 --> 00:38:58,028
Well, you say that some of these guys

1078
00:38:58,028 --> 00:39:00,909
are overwhelmed by it. But who's playing in

1079
00:39:00,909 --> 00:39:02,504
the summer league. I mean, you've got the

1080
00:39:02,504 --> 00:39:04,976
rookie that were just drafted or the free

1081
00:39:04,976 --> 00:39:06,889
agents they've signed. You've got probably some of

1082
00:39:06,889 --> 00:39:09,300
their Gee guys, but are are guys that

1083
00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:10,579
are on the end of the bench on

1084
00:39:10,579 --> 00:39:12,260
the Nba roster? Are they playing in the

1085
00:39:12,260 --> 00:39:14,099
site few, but not a heck of a

1086
00:39:14,099 --> 00:39:15,960
lot. Like, there's none of the lakers

1087
00:39:16,514 --> 00:39:18,907
Yeah. Veteran ben sitter. They're not part of

1088
00:39:18,907 --> 00:39:20,901
the 6. So if you're overwhelmed in this

1089
00:39:20,901 --> 00:39:22,416
summer league. I mean, there's no way in

1090
00:39:22,416 --> 00:39:23,533
hell they're gonna be able to play in

1091
00:39:23,533 --> 00:39:24,091
the Nba.

1092
00:39:24,650 --> 00:39:26,978
But you grow. That's that's that's part of

1093
00:39:26,978 --> 00:39:28,815
the equation. They are young. Teach them what

1094
00:39:28,815 --> 00:39:30,012
it's like to be a pro. You put

1095
00:39:30,012 --> 00:39:32,008
them on a weight training program, a dietary

1096
00:39:32,008 --> 00:39:32,407
program,

1097
00:39:32,966 --> 00:39:34,643
and you grow them and you will show

1098
00:39:34,643 --> 00:39:37,533
patients obviously for the guys front. 1 guy

1099
00:39:37,533 --> 00:39:40,010
that has really stood out and he's very

1100
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:40,510
checkered

1101
00:39:40,969 --> 00:39:41,609
controversial career.

1102
00:39:42,568 --> 00:39:44,086
I think it was the University of Illinois

1103
00:39:44,166 --> 00:39:44,725
Terrence Shannon.

1104
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:48,500
With Minnesota, holy cow. He... He's lit it

1105
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:51,140
up in the summer league so far, and

1106
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:52,954
he was an explosive kid, but he had

1107
00:39:53,074 --> 00:39:54,903
checkered passed in terms of a lot of

1108
00:39:54,903 --> 00:39:57,210
stuff off the court, but it may be

1109
00:39:57,210 --> 00:39:59,040
that they have... They've... You know, they wound

1110
00:39:59,040 --> 00:39:59,938
up picking them

1111
00:40:00,488 --> 00:40:02,484
later, he he fell off the top of

1112
00:40:02,484 --> 00:40:04,001
the first round. He got picked towards the

1113
00:40:04,001 --> 00:40:05,118
back end of the first round.

1114
00:40:06,315 --> 00:40:07,592
I don't know if he's the t pick,

1115
00:40:07,752 --> 00:40:09,999
30 first pick, but Boy, I I've watched

1116
00:40:09,999 --> 00:40:12,389
him closely when Minnesota played Houston and said,

1117
00:40:12,548 --> 00:40:14,778
boy, this guy, this guy can play do

1118
00:40:14,778 --> 00:40:16,211
a lot of different things going to the

1119
00:40:16,211 --> 00:40:18,457
baskets pulling up shooting threes plan. D defense

1120
00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:21,324
is all over the floor. So some sometimes

1121
00:40:21,324 --> 00:40:22,998
you'll find a gym there,

1122
00:40:23,555 --> 00:40:24,055
and

1123
00:40:24,670 --> 00:40:26,354
Actually Shannon to me has been the most

1124
00:40:26,354 --> 00:40:29,135
impressive Rookie and if of all the young

1125
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,279
players Have seen. I think I've watched 3

1126
00:40:31,279 --> 00:40:33,915
different games in in the summer... Lost vegas

1127
00:40:33,915 --> 00:40:35,978
got summer leg so far. Well, let's go

1128
00:40:35,978 --> 00:40:37,724
back to Jade For a minute because Mark

1129
00:40:37,883 --> 00:40:40,422
Zig said that even though the the numbers,

1130
00:40:40,581 --> 00:40:41,851
which you quoted are accurate.

1131
00:40:42,662 --> 00:40:45,609
He was actually made a big difference when

1132
00:40:45,609 --> 00:40:47,203
he was not carrying the ball. He was

1133
00:40:47,203 --> 00:40:49,447
set in picks, or, he was aggressive, He

1134
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:51,352
was scrambling on the floor for for loose

1135
00:40:51,352 --> 00:40:55,027
balls and his plus minus was radically lopsided

1136
00:40:55,082 --> 00:40:57,560
in the plus category. Yep. So do you

1137
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,548
think maybe the timber Wolves are gonna be

1138
00:40:59,548 --> 00:41:01,458
patient with him? Well, I I think so

1139
00:41:01,458 --> 00:41:03,606
he's a street free agent. But the 1

1140
00:41:03,606 --> 00:41:04,958
the 1 thing that stood out to me

1141
00:41:04,958 --> 00:41:07,681
was He did not get intimidated by the

1142
00:41:07,681 --> 00:41:08,956
pigs who were jumping jacks.

1143
00:41:09,674 --> 00:41:11,905
And those guys could not get to rebound

1144
00:41:11,905 --> 00:41:14,890
because they couldn't move them off the defensive

1145
00:41:15,027 --> 00:41:16,701
post when he was going for boards. I

1146
00:41:16,701 --> 00:41:19,250
mean, he was physically leaning on guys, and

1147
00:41:19,250 --> 00:41:21,099
guys are going on the floor. And he

1148
00:41:21,099 --> 00:41:22,860
was pushing guys. And he was fighting guys

1149
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:24,219
and who were trying to run pick roles

1150
00:41:24,219 --> 00:41:26,559
around him. Offensive then, negligible

1151
00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:28,239
contribution. So maybe

1152
00:41:28,633 --> 00:41:30,386
maybe they will just work with him and

1153
00:41:30,386 --> 00:41:33,436
just use that 692 hundred 50 pound frame

1154
00:41:33,653 --> 00:41:35,884
as a defensive bully. Yeah. Well, but he

1155
00:41:35,884 --> 00:41:37,717
could shoot too. So... Great. But you know,

1156
00:41:37,956 --> 00:41:39,647
he could hit the the shot from the

1157
00:41:39,647 --> 00:41:39,966
elbow,

1158
00:41:40,924 --> 00:41:43,239
that's coming. You know? I, he's probably still

1159
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,076
nerves. Right? Oh, I think so too. Yeah.

1160
00:41:45,315 --> 00:41:46,353
You know, you're gonna not, you know, can

1161
00:41:46,353 --> 00:41:49,023
make a roster decision on a quality basketball

1162
00:41:49,081 --> 00:41:51,235
player after his first game. Mh. In the

1163
00:41:51,235 --> 00:41:52,910
summer league, but he he was... He was

1164
00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:54,346
not an integral part at all of what

1165
00:41:54,346 --> 00:41:56,499
they're running an offensive william and all, his

1166
00:41:56,499 --> 00:41:57,536
heavy duty work came.

1167
00:41:58,189 --> 00:42:00,197
At the defensive events, so that's the latest

1168
00:42:00,570 --> 00:42:01,443
in the Nba.

1169
00:42:02,793 --> 00:42:04,461
Ronnie James. You did not give me an

1170
00:42:04,461 --> 00:42:06,445
opinion about Bonnie James 6 or 26.

1171
00:42:07,414 --> 00:42:09,094
That's just the biggest piece of crap, the

1172
00:42:09,094 --> 00:42:10,934
whole thing. It's it's like, yes. It's like

1173
00:42:10,934 --> 00:42:11,434
legacy,

1174
00:42:11,815 --> 00:42:12,315
ne.

1175
00:42:13,255 --> 00:42:14,695
I mean, it's no 1 of these players

1176
00:42:14,695 --> 00:42:16,215
don't wanna be just sign with the lakers.

1177
00:42:16,375 --> 00:42:17,746
You know? They don't wanna go play in

1178
00:42:17,746 --> 00:42:20,161
that environment. This is just a disgrace

1179
00:42:20,618 --> 00:42:20,777
because,

1180
00:42:21,575 --> 00:42:23,409
I mean, Led is a better player than

1181
00:42:23,569 --> 00:42:25,563
Ronnie, James. Led should have been taken. Now

1182
00:42:25,722 --> 00:42:28,209
Bro may have much much bigger upside the

1183
00:42:28,209 --> 00:42:30,122
year from now. Yeah. But he's still what

1184
00:42:30,122 --> 00:42:31,158
61I

1185
00:42:31,158 --> 00:42:33,629
mean, you know, that there's too many negatives

1186
00:42:33,629 --> 00:42:34,766
there. I just think

1187
00:42:35,157 --> 00:42:37,305
they're just the lakers are bent over backwards

1188
00:42:37,305 --> 00:42:40,010
to make Lebron happy, and I think they're

1189
00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:41,601
losing sight of the big picture to make

1190
00:42:41,601 --> 00:42:43,847
the the team better. There was a statement

1191
00:42:43,847 --> 00:42:45,362
though that made on the weekend after their

1192
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:47,036
fourth loss in a row and and Ronnie

1193
00:42:47,036 --> 00:42:47,776
was asked

1194
00:42:48,392 --> 00:42:49,987
if this does not work out, what are

1195
00:42:49,987 --> 00:42:51,992
you gonna do? And he said, I'll go

1196
00:42:51,992 --> 00:42:54,617
wherever the lakers send me. That includes the

1197
00:42:54,617 --> 00:42:57,084
the Nba League. Yeah. So he might be

1198
00:42:57,084 --> 00:42:57,584
playing

1199
00:42:58,054 --> 00:42:59,804
in the G league, in on, I guess,

1200
00:42:59,884 --> 00:43:00,782
in Ontario

1201
00:43:01,317 --> 00:43:02,214
for the Lakers

1202
00:43:02,590 --> 00:43:04,920
minor league team. With a 4 year guaranteed

1203
00:43:05,216 --> 00:43:06,012
contract with that.

1204
00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:09,445
Nothing wrong with ne if you're on the

1205
00:43:09,445 --> 00:43:11,749
receiving it? Exactly. Okay. We go from that.

1206
00:43:12,225 --> 00:43:14,767
Hacks axon headlines, hacks axon headlines, the high

1207
00:43:14,767 --> 00:43:16,753
speed sports wire. Let's pull it up. Here

1208
00:43:16,753 --> 00:43:16,992
it is.

1209
00:43:18,119 --> 00:43:20,267
Let's just talk about different topics on the

1210
00:43:20,267 --> 00:43:21,938
table. I don't know if you watch golf

1211
00:43:21,938 --> 00:43:22,438
yesterday,

1212
00:43:23,449 --> 00:43:26,402
Scottish open. What a phenomenal finish. First of

1213
00:43:26,402 --> 00:43:27,195
all, I love.

1214
00:43:27,830 --> 00:43:29,655
There they were just outside Glasgow.

1215
00:43:30,449 --> 00:43:32,353
That's where Scottish show what I just love.

1216
00:43:32,844 --> 00:43:34,999
The Scotland landscape and the wind and the

1217
00:43:34,999 --> 00:43:36,994
breeze and they were wearing ski hats like

1218
00:43:36,994 --> 00:43:38,988
it was cold and they were... And they

1219
00:43:38,988 --> 00:43:39,467
were playing.

1220
00:43:40,836 --> 00:43:41,971
Robbie Mc

1221
00:43:42,344 --> 00:43:43,218
is from Scotland.

1222
00:43:43,773 --> 00:43:45,464
This was a spectacular

1223
00:43:45,917 --> 00:43:47,211
performance by him

1224
00:43:48,140 --> 00:43:49,251
in the Scottish open.

1225
00:43:49,903 --> 00:43:51,677
He roars from behind

1226
00:43:52,292 --> 00:43:54,920
and post the victory. I mean, it was

1227
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:55,796
really stunning.

1228
00:43:56,513 --> 00:43:58,026
He had a 41

1229
00:43:58,026 --> 00:43:58,480
foot

1230
00:43:58,918 --> 00:43:59,636
uphill putt,

1231
00:44:00,434 --> 00:44:01,173
on 14

1232
00:44:01,869 --> 00:44:04,661
for a birdie that started Mac tires run.

1233
00:44:05,379 --> 00:44:08,011
And, of course, Scottish Native had everybody behind

1234
00:44:08,011 --> 00:44:10,519
him He got an eagle on 16.

1235
00:44:11,135 --> 00:44:12,432
He birdie 17,

1236
00:44:13,048 --> 00:44:14,324
and then on 18,

1237
00:44:15,041 --> 00:44:15,997
needing the pot.

1238
00:44:17,050 --> 00:44:20,409
To win the tournament, he had a 21

1239
00:44:20,409 --> 00:44:20,909
footer

1240
00:44:21,210 --> 00:44:22,010
on 18,

1241
00:44:22,650 --> 00:44:23,630
and the gallery

1242
00:44:24,583 --> 00:44:26,882
in Scotland just went crazy. I mean, it

1243
00:44:26,882 --> 00:44:28,413
was it was really

1244
00:44:29,103 --> 00:44:29,499
electric.

1245
00:44:30,371 --> 00:44:32,608
And all the name golfers just never a

1246
00:44:32,608 --> 00:44:34,116
close on him because once he turned the

1247
00:44:34,116 --> 00:44:35,942
corner, when he did what he did at

1248
00:44:35,942 --> 00:44:37,847
14 with a 61 foot shot,

1249
00:44:39,117 --> 00:44:39,673
it was over.

1250
00:44:40,324 --> 00:44:41,925
And and then the question was, was you

1251
00:44:41,925 --> 00:44:43,945
gonna be able to chase down the leader

1252
00:44:44,085 --> 00:44:46,485
and get the victory and he did, and

1253
00:44:46,485 --> 00:44:49,128
he just kept hitting big shot after big

1254
00:44:49,128 --> 00:44:51,056
shot and he had everybody boom

1255
00:44:51,667 --> 00:44:54,364
behind him. So the Scottish open is the

1256
00:44:54,364 --> 00:44:57,632
springboard for this coming weeks British open, which

1257
00:44:57,632 --> 00:44:59,061
is in Ent Scotland.

1258
00:44:59,617 --> 00:45:01,997
And I'm so fascinated to see because they're

1259
00:45:01,997 --> 00:45:03,743
gonna wake up early in the morning to

1260
00:45:03,743 --> 00:45:06,540
watch this sucker. I mean, like, 02:30 in

1261
00:45:06,540 --> 00:45:08,688
the morning Apparently. Wow, because it's gonna be

1262
00:45:08,688 --> 00:45:12,131
televised live. Okay. Scottish show open had t

1263
00:45:12,427 --> 00:45:13,063
historic course,

1264
00:45:13,953 --> 00:45:16,840
and the matchup gonna be Bryson d cha

1265
00:45:17,057 --> 00:45:18,410
wearing Live colors.

1266
00:45:19,842 --> 00:45:22,650
And Scotty Sc, who was dominated the Pga

1267
00:45:22,787 --> 00:45:25,830
tour. Rory Mc there. Rory did well in

1268
00:45:25,830 --> 00:45:27,902
the Scottish show, and that should be the

1269
00:45:27,902 --> 00:45:29,974
door to open for him to go get

1270
00:45:29,974 --> 00:45:32,545
something accomplished there. So that's that's kind of

1271
00:45:32,545 --> 00:45:35,585
fascinating too just to see how that situation

1272
00:45:35,585 --> 00:45:38,224
is is gonna play out hundred 58. I

1273
00:45:38,224 --> 00:45:40,304
think that's the most golfers of tee off.

1274
00:45:40,798 --> 00:45:41,753
In the British open.

1275
00:45:42,390 --> 00:45:43,447
Oh, since

1276
00:45:43,822 --> 00:45:44,857
19 95.

1277
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:45,675
So

1278
00:45:46,608 --> 00:45:48,517
British open. I love the British open because

1279
00:45:48,517 --> 00:45:50,996
you're you're facing it very tough conditions in

1280
00:45:50,996 --> 00:45:51,632
the golf course,

1281
00:45:52,267 --> 00:45:55,443
you're facing a phenomenal field of marquee global

1282
00:45:55,443 --> 00:45:55,761
players,

1283
00:45:56,396 --> 00:45:57,508
and you're facing the weather man.

1284
00:45:58,158 --> 00:45:59,983
And the weather coming off the Irish sea,

1285
00:46:00,380 --> 00:46:02,681
it could be anything in different hours of

1286
00:46:02,681 --> 00:46:04,507
the day, you knew that. When you went

1287
00:46:04,507 --> 00:46:06,625
to Ireland, you were drinking beer, the because

1288
00:46:06,824 --> 00:46:08,661
guinness his brewery and, you know, the clouds

1289
00:46:08,661 --> 00:46:09,858
move through, and then it's raining, and then

1290
00:46:09,858 --> 00:46:12,173
it's sunny, and then it's hailing, and that's

1291
00:46:12,173 --> 00:46:13,930
what those guys are gonna face. So that

1292
00:46:13,930 --> 00:46:16,005
is gonna be absolutely fabulous.

1293
00:46:16,659 --> 00:46:17,159
Tennis

1294
00:46:18,097 --> 00:46:19,375
wimbledon just concluded.

1295
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:22,970
Changing to the guard, I guess it...

1296
00:46:23,944 --> 00:46:24,823
Is now complete.

1297
00:46:25,622 --> 00:46:26,581
Novak Djokovic,

1298
00:46:27,221 --> 00:46:29,618
coming off knee surgery 6 weeks ago, forged

1299
00:46:29,618 --> 00:46:31,136
his way into the finals, but he got

1300
00:46:31,136 --> 00:46:32,595
run out by Carlos A.

1301
00:46:33,149 --> 00:46:35,463
It looks as if A ras is the

1302
00:46:35,463 --> 00:46:36,522
next star

1303
00:46:37,139 --> 00:46:39,693
on the men's side in tennis, because there

1304
00:46:39,693 --> 00:46:40,811
is there is no...

1305
00:46:41,543 --> 00:46:41,782
Raf.

1306
00:46:42,815 --> 00:46:44,642
There is no Federer who's retired.

1307
00:46:45,278 --> 00:46:45,778
Yoke

1308
00:46:46,311 --> 00:46:48,480
at age 39, looks like he's probably

1309
00:46:48,949 --> 00:46:50,387
at to the end of the road, and

1310
00:46:50,467 --> 00:46:51,826
A ras looks to be the guy.

1311
00:46:52,545 --> 00:46:54,063
I don't know who's the next door on

1312
00:46:54,063 --> 00:46:56,755
the women's side. All the top seeds, go

1313
00:46:57,273 --> 00:46:57,751
knocked out.

1314
00:46:58,389 --> 00:46:59,745
Some of the first round, some in the

1315
00:46:59,745 --> 00:47:01,660
third round, none of them got to the

1316
00:47:01,660 --> 00:47:04,132
woman's finals. So that'll be fascinating to see.

1317
00:47:04,292 --> 00:47:06,046
We're... I think we're going through the changing

1318
00:47:06,046 --> 00:47:09,009
of the guard. Soccer holy cow. Was is...

1319
00:47:09,487 --> 00:47:11,557
This was a great Sunday. Oh yeah. In

1320
00:47:11,557 --> 00:47:12,216
the championships

1321
00:47:12,671 --> 00:47:14,605
in the in the European championship,

1322
00:47:15,473 --> 00:47:17,062
Spain wins it for the fourth time.

1323
00:47:17,936 --> 00:47:20,082
England put up a dog fight to stay

1324
00:47:20,082 --> 00:47:22,148
in that thing. It was really impressive.

1325
00:47:22,784 --> 00:47:23,817
Spain scored early.

1326
00:47:24,469 --> 00:47:25,766
Looked like they were dominating,

1327
00:47:26,623 --> 00:47:27,442
England just

1328
00:47:28,458 --> 00:47:31,351
manned up defensive, Suddenly, the were turnover

1329
00:47:31,905 --> 00:47:34,144
ball go on the other way. The English

1330
00:47:34,144 --> 00:47:37,204
had scoring opportunities. They scored on a misha

1331
00:47:37,585 --> 00:47:39,445
pass in front of the goalkeeper.

1332
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,159
Spain came back, however, and 1 on a

1333
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:43,380
2 on 1 break

1334
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:44,659
in the

1335
00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:47,679
80 fourth minute. It was really impressive.

1336
00:47:48,494 --> 00:47:50,652
And just just just to see these guys

1337
00:47:50,652 --> 00:47:52,510
in what it means to him, Harry Kane

1338
00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:54,108
was so exhausted.

1339
00:47:54,567 --> 00:47:56,586
They pulled them at halftime time, the English

1340
00:47:56,725 --> 00:47:58,736
superstar. So they they were really down, but

1341
00:47:58,816 --> 00:48:00,890
Spain is brilliant. Spring is vibrant. And like

1342
00:48:00,970 --> 00:48:02,566
I said, it's the fourth time they won

1343
00:48:02,566 --> 00:48:03,625
the euro championships.

1344
00:48:04,561 --> 00:48:04,880
Today,

1345
00:48:05,692 --> 00:48:06,591
king Charles

1346
00:48:07,047 --> 00:48:08,322
at Buckingham Palace,

1347
00:48:09,358 --> 00:48:10,097
wrote letters

1348
00:48:10,871 --> 00:48:13,182
to the Head coach Garrett South gate and

1349
00:48:13,182 --> 00:48:14,536
to Harry kane the captain.

1350
00:48:15,429 --> 00:48:17,822
Sal them on behalf of the entire country

1351
00:48:17,822 --> 00:48:19,976
for what they did. Right... Yeah. It was

1352
00:48:19,976 --> 00:48:22,130
really cool. I saw a copy of the

1353
00:48:22,130 --> 00:48:25,097
letter. On a website in London, and it's

1354
00:48:25,097 --> 00:48:27,410
just really cool with be about he talked

1355
00:48:27,410 --> 00:48:29,563
about how they carry the flags so proudly

1356
00:48:29,563 --> 00:48:32,195
and they wore the 3 Lions, Jersey, etcetera.

1357
00:48:32,610 --> 00:48:35,329
So that that was really neat because they've

1358
00:48:35,329 --> 00:48:37,570
they had taken an enormous amount of criticism

1359
00:48:37,570 --> 00:48:38,610
going into the tournament,

1360
00:48:39,170 --> 00:48:41,409
and they've not... I don't think they've won.

1361
00:48:42,063 --> 00:48:44,449
European championship up maybe 1 time in the

1362
00:48:44,449 --> 00:48:46,517
history of all soccer. So they they got

1363
00:48:46,517 --> 00:48:49,078
there, but they were exhausted getting there. We

1364
00:48:49,078 --> 00:48:50,745
go from that to what happened in Miami

1365
00:48:50,745 --> 00:48:53,311
last night, The Cop America championships,

1366
00:48:55,034 --> 00:48:57,074
ugly incident before the start

1367
00:48:57,432 --> 00:48:58,860
They had to delay the start for an

1368
00:48:58,860 --> 00:49:00,631
hour and 22 minutes because

1369
00:49:01,004 --> 00:49:03,465
South American fans who did not have tickets

1370
00:49:03,465 --> 00:49:04,497
broke down the gates.

1371
00:49:05,228 --> 00:49:05,945
To it in.

1372
00:49:06,662 --> 00:49:08,574
And it was really ugly. The arm... The

1373
00:49:08,574 --> 00:49:10,964
arm guards were there. They couldn't control the

1374
00:49:10,964 --> 00:49:11,283
crowd.

1375
00:49:11,841 --> 00:49:14,151
Cope taking enormous national heat.

1376
00:49:14,804 --> 00:49:17,115
For how they failed at security and put

1377
00:49:17,115 --> 00:49:19,108
so many people at risk by allowing all

1378
00:49:19,108 --> 00:49:21,260
these people to crash the gates and not

1379
00:49:21,260 --> 00:49:24,009
having security to stop this not having proper

1380
00:49:24,068 --> 00:49:26,624
procedure to allow the fans in there at

1381
00:49:26,624 --> 00:49:28,382
that stadium in Miami.

1382
00:49:28,781 --> 00:49:30,947
When they were done, I remember telling you

1383
00:49:30,947 --> 00:49:33,094
on Thursday? I think it was... I said,

1384
00:49:33,253 --> 00:49:34,683
how many times do you think Lionel messi

1385
00:49:34,683 --> 00:49:36,909
is gonna get kicked because Columbia just placed

1386
00:49:36,909 --> 00:49:36,988
like,

1387
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,027
street fight. Mh. And he got kicked and

1388
00:49:40,027 --> 00:49:41,858
he got knocked out. He got knocked out

1389
00:49:41,858 --> 00:49:45,041
55 minutes in. He was done, and he

1390
00:49:45,041 --> 00:49:46,633
went to the bench and he we and

1391
00:49:46,633 --> 00:49:46,952
cried.

1392
00:49:47,444 --> 00:49:48,561
Because he was out of the game. Where

1393
00:49:48,561 --> 00:49:50,635
he re injured his his ankle again, and

1394
00:49:50,635 --> 00:49:52,869
he'd been hammered a couple times prior to

1395
00:49:52,869 --> 00:49:55,516
that. And the reps The reps didn't call

1396
00:49:55,516 --> 00:49:57,989
it. They just let Columbia mug people. I,

1397
00:49:58,149 --> 00:50:00,063
yeah apologies in advance. I don't know there's

1398
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,376
any South American soccer fans who are on

1399
00:50:02,376 --> 00:50:02,876
our

1400
00:50:03,572 --> 00:50:04,290
this podcast.

1401
00:50:04,942 --> 00:50:07,010
They are the dirtiest team I've ever seen.

1402
00:50:07,487 --> 00:50:09,953
I mean, they they were violent tackle,

1403
00:50:10,590 --> 00:50:11,408
spikes high

1404
00:50:12,035 --> 00:50:14,494
forearms to the back, hits to the throat.

1405
00:50:15,050 --> 00:50:16,874
I mean, when they go up for headers,

1406
00:50:17,271 --> 00:50:18,143
on corner kicks,

1407
00:50:18,875 --> 00:50:21,034
they were doing this. I mean, I couldn't

1408
00:50:21,034 --> 00:50:22,335
believe it. And the referee just

1409
00:50:22,715 --> 00:50:24,394
let it go. Maybe that's the way they

1410
00:50:24,394 --> 00:50:26,315
play soccer in South America.

1411
00:50:27,048 --> 00:50:29,039
But at the end of the day, Argentina

1412
00:50:29,039 --> 00:50:29,278
1,

1413
00:50:29,916 --> 00:50:32,624
1 nil, they're 1 of their great veterans,

1414
00:50:33,262 --> 00:50:35,811
Lam michael Martinez scored the game winning goal,

1415
00:50:36,384 --> 00:50:38,379
a message just stood on the sidelines and

1416
00:50:38,379 --> 00:50:40,054
looked like a baby and then he was

1417
00:50:40,054 --> 00:50:41,809
the first 1 that roar on the field.

1418
00:50:42,129 --> 00:50:43,666
And then you then you see

1419
00:50:43,979 --> 00:50:46,876
all the players of the Argentinian team, just

1420
00:50:47,015 --> 00:50:49,331
weeping what it meant to them to win

1421
00:50:49,331 --> 00:50:52,221
the world championship. So just a phenomenal tournament.

1422
00:50:52,540 --> 00:50:53,896
It wasn't the world cup.

1423
00:50:55,092 --> 00:50:57,087
Man was damn close to it. Yeah. Was

1424
00:50:57,087 --> 00:50:57,566
really was.

1425
00:50:58,378 --> 00:51:01,083
Let's talk about coaching situations. Team Usa,

1426
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,585
little bit surprised. This whole team Usa thing,

1427
00:51:04,824 --> 00:51:06,893
the the firing of a Greg Bur holt.

1428
00:51:08,023 --> 00:51:11,054
The situations in England that I've been able

1429
00:51:11,054 --> 00:51:13,925
to dig up are that they cannot afford

1430
00:51:13,925 --> 00:51:16,100
and are not gonna be able to hire

1431
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,008
JKA

1432
00:51:18,008 --> 00:51:18,965
legendary liverpool,

1433
00:51:19,523 --> 00:51:21,357
and do head coach from Germany.

1434
00:51:21,995 --> 00:51:24,227
Yeah. He he resigned Liverpool or announced he

1435
00:51:24,227 --> 00:51:26,061
was retiring from Liverpool the end of the

1436
00:51:26,061 --> 00:51:28,069
season. And it sure does not look like

1437
00:51:28,069 --> 00:51:29,344
he is is gonna get hired,

1438
00:51:30,141 --> 00:51:31,975
that maybe he doesn't want to negotiate evidently.

1439
00:51:32,135 --> 00:51:34,047
He's gonna take. He's gonna take a full

1440
00:51:34,047 --> 00:51:36,130
calendar year off. So they're they're going back

1441
00:51:36,130 --> 00:51:38,510
to square 1 to try to determine what

1442
00:51:38,510 --> 00:51:40,280
they're gonna do. Team Mexico,

1443
00:51:41,288 --> 00:51:43,454
you know, we... I critique

1444
00:51:43,764 --> 00:51:45,864
their roster before the Cop tournament

1445
00:51:46,484 --> 00:51:48,565
became began, and I said, I don't understand

1446
00:51:48,565 --> 00:51:50,484
why you're leaving all these veteran players off

1447
00:51:50,484 --> 00:51:50,644
there.

1448
00:51:51,380 --> 00:51:53,699
Chu Lo, who is with the San Diego,

1449
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,500
Ml s club a San Diego c was

1450
00:51:56,500 --> 00:51:56,980
left off,

1451
00:51:57,940 --> 00:51:58,440
Javier

1452
00:51:58,753 --> 00:51:59,470
chic out.

1453
00:51:59,947 --> 00:52:01,777
Hernandez was left off. They did not have

1454
00:52:01,777 --> 00:52:03,051
a Show of their star tender.

1455
00:52:03,926 --> 00:52:05,518
Anyhow, they just fired their coach.

1456
00:52:06,632 --> 00:52:07,451
Jaime El.

1457
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,039
They keep firing guys every year. There's there's

1458
00:52:11,039 --> 00:52:13,920
no foundation. There's no philosophy. They build on,

1459
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:16,720
the feeder program doesn't seem to be working

1460
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:17,680
So Team Mexico.

1461
00:52:18,173 --> 00:52:19,845
Seems to be in a lot of trouble.

1462
00:52:20,084 --> 00:52:21,438
So, John threw a lot of stuff out

1463
00:52:21,438 --> 00:52:23,110
there. If you wish to talk about the

1464
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:25,498
Scottish in British Open in Wimbledon or talk

1465
00:52:25,498 --> 00:52:25,998
soccer

1466
00:52:26,628 --> 00:52:29,250
the podium belongs to you. Well, it's interesting

1467
00:52:29,250 --> 00:52:31,634
if you're a Spanish soccer... Or Spanish sports

1468
00:52:31,634 --> 00:52:33,144
fan. It was a great weekend. Right? Yeah

1469
00:52:33,224 --> 00:52:34,893
You know, because you got A. You got

1470
00:52:34,893 --> 00:52:36,821
the the euro cup, so, you know, good

1471
00:52:36,821 --> 00:52:38,577
on those guys. Did you see it in

1472
00:52:38,577 --> 00:52:40,971
the Wimbledon though that Yoko vic was in

1473
00:52:40,971 --> 00:52:42,806
the finals, but he had surgery on his

1474
00:52:42,806 --> 00:52:45,375
knee? Like, about 6 weeks exactly, which is

1475
00:52:45,375 --> 00:52:47,530
incredible. Yeah. Well, again, if you have minor

1476
00:52:47,530 --> 00:52:49,685
meniscus surgery, that could... You could be back.

1477
00:52:50,324 --> 00:52:51,840
Nfl guys come back in 3 or 4

1478
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,412
weeks. Baseball players if it's minor. Mh. And

1479
00:52:54,412 --> 00:52:55,931
evidently it was minor and he was back

1480
00:52:55,931 --> 00:52:57,210
for 6, but he had to grind through

1481
00:52:57,210 --> 00:52:58,888
it. He did get a break though because

1482
00:52:58,888 --> 00:53:01,045
in semi finals his opponent with drew because

1483
00:53:01,045 --> 00:53:02,496
of injury. So he never to semi of

1484
00:53:02,496 --> 00:53:04,800
my final match and Extra day's rest there,

1485
00:53:05,276 --> 00:53:05,514
But

1486
00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:07,659
he had I'd had a tough time of

1487
00:53:07,659 --> 00:53:10,836
fans. They are. They are anti yoke fans.

1488
00:53:10,994 --> 00:53:13,099
They bomb play him with criticizing

1489
00:53:13,474 --> 00:53:16,737
hat resident vaccine and all vaccine and he

1490
00:53:16,737 --> 00:53:19,203
just... You know, he brought his tennis racket

1491
00:53:19,203 --> 00:53:20,396
out and played it like It was a

1492
00:53:20,396 --> 00:53:22,242
vial ordered and, you know, after he won

1493
00:53:22,242 --> 00:53:24,629
his quarter final match, he just... He gave

1494
00:53:24,629 --> 00:53:26,221
the fans back as much crap as he

1495
00:53:26,221 --> 00:53:28,050
happened to take. Yeah. And then go into

1496
00:53:28,050 --> 00:53:29,741
the sun Matches. I watch both of those,

1497
00:53:29,901 --> 00:53:32,135
and they were fantastic. You know? And to

1498
00:53:32,135 --> 00:53:34,370
your point, yeah, Kane, I they showed him

1499
00:53:34,370 --> 00:53:36,900
on the sidelines in the euro final Docker

1500
00:53:37,177 --> 00:53:39,637
just looking sort of flat lined. You know?

1501
00:53:39,875 --> 00:53:41,938
Exhausted? Exhausted. And know you obviously, like, why

1502
00:53:41,938 --> 00:53:43,524
is this guy not playing? And then to

1503
00:53:43,524 --> 00:53:45,324
see messi, And did you see his ankles

1504
00:53:45,443 --> 00:53:46,949
12 Yeah I mean it was really bad.

1505
00:53:47,820 --> 00:53:49,960
But Argentina has had a great run for

1506
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,227
these last 4 to 6 years.

1507
00:53:52,178 --> 00:53:54,415
I 12 was surprised by the ref letting

1508
00:53:54,415 --> 00:53:56,559
the the ball... The players play because you're

1509
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:57,432
right. It was rough.

1510
00:53:58,385 --> 00:54:00,369
Columbia looked good. I was shocked. They didn't

1511
00:54:00,369 --> 00:54:02,452
score in that first half. They had opportunities,

1512
00:54:02,611 --> 00:54:04,365
but I just cannot put the ball by.

1513
00:54:05,003 --> 00:54:07,713
Are you gonna accept my critique. The Columbia

1514
00:54:07,713 --> 00:54:09,626
is the dirtiest team ever seen? Well,

1515
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:13,000
is Columbia, You know? There's this some tough

1516
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,079
guys in Colombia. I laid a from any

1517
00:54:15,079 --> 00:54:17,159
followers in Bog. Well, but you know, it

1518
00:54:17,159 --> 00:54:19,809
it's it's it's it's cool seeing all these

1519
00:54:19,809 --> 00:54:22,603
other South American nations and understanding a little

1520
00:54:22,603 --> 00:54:24,919
bit more about the personalities and the pros

1521
00:54:24,919 --> 00:54:26,515
and cons of each of these seems I

1522
00:54:26,515 --> 00:54:28,121
like it. And I like the fact that

1523
00:54:28,121 --> 00:54:28,940
there's different

1524
00:54:29,393 --> 00:54:32,254
sort of styles of playing depending on the

1525
00:54:32,254 --> 00:54:34,893
nation or even depending on the continent. So

1526
00:54:34,893 --> 00:54:37,367
that's where we are. Hey. It's time for

1527
00:54:37,367 --> 00:54:39,682

1538
00:55:02,416 --> 00:55:04,253
on our Monday bonus podcast. Where do you

1539
00:55:04,253 --> 00:55:06,651
wanna go? Okay. Let's get some Pod comments

1540
00:55:06,651 --> 00:55:08,584
in here. This is from Steve. He says

1541
00:55:08,584 --> 00:55:11,221
the pot look terrible. Their stars aren't hitting

1542
00:55:11,221 --> 00:55:12,899
what will p do. He's gonna try to

1543
00:55:12,899 --> 00:55:13,938
make a trade to get pitching.

1544
00:55:15,456 --> 00:55:17,055
You know, I happen I happen to like...

1545
00:55:17,789 --> 00:55:20,745
The in... Coverage that the the Ut provides

1546
00:55:20,745 --> 00:55:22,422
are Kevin Ac c and Jeff Sanders, and

1547
00:55:22,422 --> 00:55:24,580
they play... You know, I play devil's advocate

1548
00:55:24,580 --> 00:55:26,743
and They write from their sources, what they

1549
00:55:26,743 --> 00:55:29,207
hear, and we talk about from my sources,

1550
00:55:29,366 --> 00:55:31,035
what I hear. They're gonna have to make

1551
00:55:31,035 --> 00:55:32,227
a deal to get pitch pitching. They don't

1552
00:55:32,227 --> 00:55:34,478
have enough pitching right now. Nobody knows the

1553
00:55:34,478 --> 00:55:37,454
outcome of vision. We're holding our breath because

1554
00:55:37,514 --> 00:55:39,132
must grow although he's throwing

1555
00:55:39,671 --> 00:55:42,582
a bull session now, He's just throwing

1556
00:55:43,358 --> 00:55:45,294
15 pitches at 80 percent.

1557
00:55:46,947 --> 00:55:48,942
He's not throwing any breaking stuff. He's not

1558
00:55:48,942 --> 00:55:50,936
throwing game time velocity.

1559
00:55:51,510 --> 00:55:53,989
So this is a long process, so... And

1560
00:55:53,989 --> 00:55:55,750
he's gonna have to throw some rehab starts

1561
00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:58,150
in the minor leagues. So starters 1 starters

1562
00:55:58,150 --> 00:56:00,724
too on there. Dylan sees. Just magical and

1563
00:56:00,724 --> 00:56:03,144
it looks like they uncovered a... A

1564
00:56:03,684 --> 00:56:04,184
mechanical

1565
00:56:04,485 --> 00:56:06,724
flaw. I, he came back and struck out

1566
00:56:06,724 --> 00:56:08,085
11, and and I think he gave up

1567
00:56:08,085 --> 00:56:10,255
1 hit in his weekend start, but Vas

1568
00:56:10,255 --> 00:56:10,970
is Vas,

1569
00:56:11,446 --> 00:56:12,796
and you... I don't think you can trust

1570
00:56:12,796 --> 00:56:15,360
him, and then the bull gets overused, and

1571
00:56:15,655 --> 00:56:16,846
they're gonna have to find a way to

1572
00:56:16,846 --> 00:56:18,454
get a picture the picture I want is

1573
00:56:18,614 --> 00:56:20,535
Cal Quan from Colorado because I think it's

1574
00:56:20,535 --> 00:56:22,775
more trustworthy. But I think there's a deal.

1575
00:56:23,015 --> 00:56:25,094
At least 1 deal come Any other questions,

1576
00:56:25,670 --> 00:56:27,110
they have any resources to be able to

1577
00:56:27,110 --> 00:56:29,750
get somebody's relief pitching because they're gonna... They

1578
00:56:29,750 --> 00:56:31,910
think they need somebody to help Suarez.

1579
00:56:32,469 --> 00:56:32,869
Well, you know,

1580
00:56:33,510 --> 00:56:35,917
looking at the Pod, from a hitting perspective,

1581
00:56:36,155 --> 00:56:38,542
you get Xander Bog arts back. Well, he

1582
00:56:38,542 --> 00:56:40,292
need look pretty good, You know? In his

1583
00:56:40,292 --> 00:56:41,008
in his at bats,

1584
00:56:41,739 --> 00:56:43,489
So now who's the odd man out In

1585
00:56:43,489 --> 00:56:46,353
the feels probably Donovan Sol. He's not a

1586
00:56:46,353 --> 00:56:48,182
bad trade chip. I mean, that dude can

1587
00:56:48,182 --> 00:56:50,114
hit. So He sitting over 2 80 last

1588
00:56:50,114 --> 00:56:51,554
night I checked. But you're not gonna get

1589
00:56:51,635 --> 00:56:54,034
Quan trill for Sol. If that were the

1590
00:56:54,034 --> 00:56:56,845
case, Colorado, which I no players, what assigned

1591
00:56:57,481 --> 00:57:00,181
Was on the street. Sure. So that maybe

1592
00:57:00,181 --> 00:57:00,816
it's a throw in.

1593
00:57:01,928 --> 00:57:03,596
Only time will tell us to what they

1594
00:57:03,596 --> 00:57:05,343
can afford to pay and what they're gonna

1595
00:57:05,343 --> 00:57:08,057
get back. In in return. And then the

1596
00:57:08,057 --> 00:57:08,557
other

1597
00:57:08,931 --> 00:57:09,328
intangible,

1598
00:57:09,804 --> 00:57:11,154
the guys up the highway.

1599
00:57:11,630 --> 00:57:14,028
The dodgers, they're gonna make a deal they

1600
00:57:14,028 --> 00:57:15,303
may be going after the same, you know,

1601
00:57:15,542 --> 00:57:18,013
Quan trill at Don stadium with those bats.

1602
00:57:19,288 --> 00:57:21,201
And they've got the resources, and they don't

1603
00:57:21,201 --> 00:57:24,166
have... Problem taken on additional luxury tax payments

1604
00:57:24,166 --> 00:57:24,485
salary.

1605
00:57:25,443 --> 00:57:25,762
Interesting.

1606
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,952
Okay. Steve. Thanks for joining us. Next stop.

1607
00:57:29,192 --> 00:57:30,867
Okay. Let's go here to Dan and he

1608
00:57:30,867 --> 00:57:33,830
says, The J are a 6 and 11

1609
00:57:33,830 --> 00:57:36,380
team at best. He was making reference to

1610
00:57:36,380 --> 00:57:36,937
the chargers.

1611
00:57:38,451 --> 00:57:40,214
I don't... At this point, I don't even

1612
00:57:40,214 --> 00:57:42,200
know that I could pick the schedule and

1613
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,709
tell you how many they're gonna win.

1614
00:57:44,503 --> 00:57:46,036
Because there's too many questions,

1615
00:57:47,219 --> 00:57:48,416
that have to be answered.

1616
00:57:49,215 --> 00:57:51,290
I do think offensive lines gonna be better.

1617
00:57:51,529 --> 00:57:53,785
I happen to think moving trade pip

1618
00:57:54,163 --> 00:57:55,621
inside the offensive guard

1619
00:57:56,171 --> 00:57:58,550
because his big problem was when he had

1620
00:57:58,550 --> 00:57:59,898
right tackle had to go out on the

1621
00:57:59,898 --> 00:58:00,056
edge,

1622
00:58:01,008 --> 00:58:04,280
and his mechanics, his feet weren't... Think he

1623
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:05,960
couldn't get him set because he's a big

1624
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:06,599
thick guy,

1625
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,800
and he just could not hold up when

1626
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,679
he had to go out on the edge

1627
00:58:10,679 --> 00:58:12,440
and he get knocked backwards, etcetera.

1628
00:58:13,409 --> 00:58:14,044
Inside a guard.

1629
00:58:15,155 --> 00:58:17,457
This is his 3 square feet. That's all

1630
00:58:17,457 --> 00:58:19,282
he's blocking whether it's run block and he's

1631
00:58:19,282 --> 00:58:22,003
a power guy. Or whether it's pass, it's

1632
00:58:22,003 --> 00:58:24,393
3 square feet. He's not going out to

1633
00:58:24,393 --> 00:58:26,464
have to go get Max Crosby raiders out

1634
00:58:26,464 --> 00:58:27,261
there on the periphery.

1635
00:58:27,754 --> 00:58:29,820
So I think they'll be better in that

1636
00:58:29,820 --> 00:58:30,058
front.

1637
00:58:31,250 --> 00:58:33,395
Does discuss edwards holding up? What do you

1638
00:58:33,395 --> 00:58:34,825
can do about the young wide receivers?

1639
00:58:35,302 --> 00:58:36,017
Or is it gonna be...

1640
00:58:36,669 --> 00:58:38,025
Pass catches by committee.

1641
00:58:39,063 --> 00:58:41,617
I just think there's too many questions right

1642
00:58:41,617 --> 00:58:43,851
now to indicate what kind of season they're

1643
00:58:43,851 --> 00:58:46,264
gonna have, And I I think they got

1644
00:58:46,264 --> 00:58:46,764
massive

1645
00:58:47,144 --> 00:58:47,644
issues

1646
00:58:48,264 --> 00:58:50,505
inside defensive and have had those issues for,

1647
00:58:50,585 --> 00:58:52,344
like, 3 or 4 years in a row.

1648
00:58:52,759 --> 00:58:54,588
I mean, there's no doubt that that Bo,

1649
00:58:54,986 --> 00:58:55,486
Ke,

1650
00:58:55,941 --> 00:58:58,168
the kid from Southern Ka Polo,

1651
00:58:58,804 --> 00:59:00,793
that those guys are really active, and there's

1652
00:59:00,793 --> 00:59:02,883
no doubt that... An old dog like den

1653
00:59:02,963 --> 00:59:04,081
Per coming back.

1654
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,798
Who had been here early years of his

1655
00:59:06,798 --> 00:59:09,036
career, he's gonna help, and we'll find out

1656
00:59:09,036 --> 00:59:09,730
how good

1657
00:59:10,405 --> 00:59:10,905
the

1658
00:59:11,438 --> 00:59:13,346
mint mentor, the new coordinator is in terms

1659
00:59:13,346 --> 00:59:15,333
of putting people in right situations, and what

1660
00:59:15,333 --> 00:59:16,605
are they gonna run and is they're gonna

1661
00:59:16,605 --> 00:59:16,843
work?

1662
00:59:17,574 --> 00:59:19,644
So hi to me, there's awful lot of

1663
00:59:19,644 --> 00:59:21,635
questions. It's way too early to say what

1664
00:59:21,635 --> 00:59:23,626
they're gonna be. When we get to the

1665
00:59:23,626 --> 00:59:25,401
end of August to have a much better

1666
00:59:25,538 --> 00:59:28,102
indication. They... To me the chargers, they got

1667
00:59:28,102 --> 00:59:30,253
harbor and his resume and I got Justin

1668
00:59:30,333 --> 00:59:32,245
Herbert, and they got a lot of questions.

1669
00:59:32,564 --> 00:59:34,396
Yeah. A lot. And at 6 and 11

1670
00:59:34,396 --> 00:59:35,512
doesn't sound unreasonable.

1671
00:59:36,084 --> 00:59:37,839
But let's go back to when Har was

1672
00:59:37,839 --> 00:59:38,956
hired by the 49.

1673
00:59:39,514 --> 00:59:41,109
I remember but he had Alex Smith, and

1674
00:59:41,109 --> 00:59:43,263
then they they brought in colin Ka, and

1675
00:59:43,263 --> 00:59:44,459
then it turned out to be great for

1676
00:59:44,459 --> 00:59:47,663
a little while. But was was Har boss

1677
00:59:47,663 --> 00:59:49,495
successful in year 1 with the 9? Yeah

1678
00:59:49,575 --> 00:59:51,248
Yeah. I think he was. And I, you

1679
00:59:51,248 --> 00:59:52,762
know, I think he wound up being in

1680
00:59:52,762 --> 00:59:53,320
13 and 3.

1681
00:59:54,051 --> 00:59:56,037
Right on. Yeah. So I... I he was

1682
00:59:56,037 --> 00:59:58,499
successful at Stanford, and that that was not

1683
00:59:58,499 --> 01:00:00,588
a program that had a lot of resources

1684
01:00:00,644 --> 01:00:03,048
nor long track rack. I mean, John Way

1685
01:00:03,048 --> 01:00:05,446
it stand from was a thousand years ago,

1686
01:00:06,165 --> 01:00:07,604
and he did a great job there, and

1687
01:00:07,604 --> 01:00:09,601
he went in he fixed Michigan, but again,

1688
01:00:09,681 --> 01:00:10,960
he had a lot of blue chip players.

1689
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,810
He's kurt a number 1 draft picks at

1690
01:00:12,969 --> 01:00:14,904
Michigan. He only gets 1 number 1 pick

1691
01:00:14,963 --> 01:00:17,912
year. So it'll... It... It's gonna be fun

1692
01:00:17,912 --> 01:00:20,039
watching to see what the, quote, J is

1693
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,320
do. The next question. I love the Nick

1694
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,559
can gloss. Yeah. Okay. Let's go here to

1695
01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:27,519
Casey. Says dodgers need a closer and another

1696
01:00:27,519 --> 01:00:29,294
relieve to help the pan and prop gonna

1697
01:00:29,294 --> 01:00:31,371
need another starter for the rotation if they're

1698
01:00:31,371 --> 01:00:32,970
gonna go far in the posts c's. Well,

1699
01:00:33,130 --> 01:00:35,047
I gotta get people back healthy, and that's

1700
01:00:35,047 --> 01:00:36,965
what they're crossing their fingers on has not

1701
01:00:36,965 --> 01:00:39,452
happened yet. I'll Evan Phillips is really good

1702
01:00:39,452 --> 01:00:41,044
the closer, but he's been hurt. He's been

1703
01:00:41,044 --> 01:00:43,353
on the deal twice already the season. And

1704
01:00:43,513 --> 01:00:45,662
I was kinda stunned. They they used him

1705
01:00:45,662 --> 01:00:47,268
in the 6 inning of a game in

1706
01:00:47,506 --> 01:00:48,006
Detroit

1707
01:00:48,380 --> 01:00:49,595
that that mon

1708
01:00:49,969 --> 01:00:51,558
where they wound up losing 11 to 9,

1709
01:00:51,717 --> 01:00:54,101
they had A94 lead lost 11 to 9

1710
01:00:54,101 --> 01:00:54,577
a opened.

1711
01:00:55,228 --> 01:00:57,773
So they got they got pitching depth issues,

1712
01:00:57,932 --> 01:00:58,432
but

1713
01:00:59,364 --> 01:01:00,954
I think they're gonna make a trade for

1714
01:01:00,954 --> 01:01:02,704
starter. I'm not sure which starter it's gonna

1715
01:01:02,704 --> 01:01:02,862
be.

1716
01:01:03,594 --> 01:01:07,045
But Andrew Friedman historically has always done significant

1717
01:01:07,183 --> 01:01:10,453
player acquisitions with big salary contracts at the

1718
01:01:10,532 --> 01:01:12,686
Trade deadline, so maybe maybe there's another 1

1719
01:01:12,686 --> 01:01:15,015
coming. And the guys at the bottom of

1720
01:01:15,015 --> 01:01:17,409
the batting order are starting to hit, not

1721
01:01:17,409 --> 01:01:18,388
not with regular,

1722
01:01:18,766 --> 01:01:19,266
but

1723
01:01:21,733 --> 01:01:24,038
Gavin looks is starting to play like Gavin

1724
01:01:24,038 --> 01:01:26,183
lux looks used to play, and then we'll

1725
01:01:26,183 --> 01:01:27,613
just see if said, Chris Taylor and some

1726
01:01:27,613 --> 01:01:29,859
of these other guys come around. Chris Taylor

1727
01:01:29,859 --> 01:01:32,179
had a really weird year. He's usually very

1728
01:01:32,179 --> 01:01:34,739
productive. But let's let's kinda have wish thinking

1729
01:01:34,739 --> 01:01:37,300
here. Let's say, K comes back. Let's assume

1730
01:01:37,300 --> 01:01:38,272
that he's solid.

1731
01:01:38,829 --> 01:01:41,774
Let's say, wish your thinking b comes back,

1732
01:01:41,933 --> 01:01:44,560
and he's gonna be maybe okay. And then

1733
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,702
you've got Pax in and Yam. And Yam,

1734
01:01:48,397 --> 01:01:50,148
so he's thrown a ball for the first

1735
01:01:50,148 --> 01:01:53,037
time just on the weekend. First time, but

1736
01:01:53,254 --> 01:01:53,754
throwing

1737
01:01:54,383 --> 01:01:56,450
soft toss in the out field to hell

1738
01:01:56,450 --> 01:01:57,802
a lot different than being on the mound

1739
01:01:57,802 --> 01:01:59,414
of Don Stadium. So that's

1740
01:02:00,027 --> 01:02:01,005
that's a project

1741
01:02:01,458 --> 01:02:01,958
that

1742
01:02:02,427 --> 01:02:04,732
maybe September first if there's no setbacks with

1743
01:02:04,732 --> 01:02:07,195
the Yam. So I wonder if Friedman might

1744
01:02:07,195 --> 01:02:08,785
say, you know, we're not gonna trade for

1745
01:02:08,785 --> 01:02:10,692
a big arm. Maybe we'll trade for relieve,

1746
01:02:11,184 --> 01:02:13,180
but we're gonna kinda hope that our starters

1747
01:02:13,180 --> 01:02:15,096
come back. Well, they're hanging on to first

1748
01:02:15,096 --> 01:02:16,713
place because the ponder is so

1749
01:02:17,171 --> 01:02:18,688
inconsistent, and the pod have their own set

1750
01:02:18,688 --> 01:02:19,805
of injury issues.

1751
01:02:20,617 --> 01:02:23,159
I mean, there's still what 7 games ahead,

1752
01:02:23,795 --> 01:02:24,692
and the... And

1753
01:02:25,067 --> 01:02:27,076
everybody's got games and hands on the pod.

1754
01:02:28,023 --> 01:02:29,698
Because the powder it played so many games

1755
01:02:29,698 --> 01:02:31,293
at go in 50 and 49.

1756
01:02:31,851 --> 01:02:33,367
I mean, it's it's gonna be a challenge

1757
01:02:33,367 --> 01:02:35,920
to make up that amount of games in

1758
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,195
the standings. Now,

1759
01:02:38,563 --> 01:02:40,552
maybe we're just building the roster to hope

1760
01:02:40,552 --> 01:02:42,460
you can get to the wildcard card race.

1761
01:02:42,619 --> 01:02:44,050
That's don't guarantee you're gonna win. I mean,

1762
01:02:44,130 --> 01:02:46,436
the Ponder are playing 500 baseball, and they're

1763
01:02:46,436 --> 01:02:47,072
hot and cold.

1764
01:02:47,724 --> 01:02:49,157
It makes you thinking the 3 game servers

1765
01:02:49,157 --> 01:02:50,193
you're gonna win them and move on to

1766
01:02:50,193 --> 01:02:52,423
the second round? You don't know. Like you

1767
01:02:52,423 --> 01:02:54,336
say it's J and hyde. And we start

1768
01:02:54,336 --> 01:02:56,423
to feel optimistic, and then we get frustrated

1769
01:02:56,423 --> 01:02:58,735
and disappointed again, it's an emotional roller coaster.

1770
01:02:58,974 --> 01:03:01,286
2 weeks. 2 weeks, more trades, they're they're

1771
01:03:01,286 --> 01:03:03,693
gonna start falling pretty quickly. Mh. Next question.

1772
01:03:03,932 --> 01:03:05,687
Let's go to Steve here another chargers question.

1773
01:03:06,166 --> 01:03:07,840
I'm curious how the chargers can be good

1774
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,313
with no established receivers. That it's very hopeful

1775
01:03:10,313 --> 01:03:12,467
thinking. Well, if they're gonna pound the football.

1776
01:03:13,358 --> 01:03:14,789
And they're gonna run it more than the

1777
01:03:14,789 --> 01:03:16,244
throw it. Then

1778
01:03:17,414 --> 01:03:19,481
the pressure on the wide receivers is a

1779
01:03:19,481 --> 01:03:20,992
little bit different. Still gotta catch the ball.

1780
01:03:21,151 --> 01:03:22,583
You still want yards after the catch.

1781
01:03:23,234 --> 01:03:25,143
But are there gonna be a ball control

1782
01:03:25,143 --> 01:03:26,177
team and then let Herbert,

1783
01:03:26,734 --> 01:03:29,279
pick and choose select plays. I like Josh

1784
01:03:29,438 --> 01:03:29,677
Palmer,

1785
01:03:30,328 --> 01:03:31,840
I think he's grown a lot, and he's

1786
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,273
been ding a little bit, but he's 6

1787
01:03:33,273 --> 01:03:34,308
5 and he's a tough guy.

1788
01:03:35,342 --> 01:03:36,616
I don't know what to make a Quentin

1789
01:03:36,775 --> 01:03:38,934
Johnston because he's dropped. As many balls last

1790
01:03:38,934 --> 01:03:40,519
year as a rookie here as he did

1791
01:03:40,519 --> 01:03:41,891
in his last year at Tc.

1792
01:03:42,818 --> 01:03:44,641
But boys is he gifted. He is so

1793
01:03:44,641 --> 01:03:46,646
big, and he's such a long strider, and

1794
01:03:46,646 --> 01:03:47,603
you can beat coverage,

1795
01:03:48,161 --> 01:03:49,517
but you gotta hold on to the football.

1796
01:03:49,996 --> 01:03:51,750
So the... I mean, those are the 2

1797
01:03:51,750 --> 01:03:54,462
marquee guys right now. Everybody that I've Canvas

1798
01:03:54,462 --> 01:03:56,627
in college would in the south, says Led

1799
01:03:56,706 --> 01:03:58,933
Mc quite a player. He's a kid out

1800
01:03:58,933 --> 01:04:01,240
of Georgia was a second round yeah. And

1801
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,149
he's a tough guy and he can run

1802
01:04:03,149 --> 01:04:05,237
that inside all slot stuff and he gets

1803
01:04:05,237 --> 01:04:07,632
open, and there's yards yards after catch with

1804
01:04:07,632 --> 01:04:09,468
him. Now he hasn't done it here, and

1805
01:04:09,468 --> 01:04:12,103
he hasn't done it against fast inside cover

1806
01:04:12,103 --> 01:04:13,380
corner slot quarterback backs,

1807
01:04:14,034 --> 01:04:15,789
So would... That's just gonna be a learning

1808
01:04:15,789 --> 01:04:17,486
curve process and procedure

1809
01:04:17,864 --> 01:04:18,263
for him.

1810
01:04:19,460 --> 01:04:21,708
Dj Chalk, now, he'd been ding up. But

1811
01:04:21,708 --> 01:04:23,457
when he was in Carolina and healthy, he

1812
01:04:23,457 --> 01:04:25,286
was averaging, like, 16 yards of catch,

1813
01:04:25,922 --> 01:04:28,547
deep down the field threat. So they got

1814
01:04:28,547 --> 01:04:30,474
a mixed bag of guys, There is no

1815
01:04:30,474 --> 01:04:32,312
pro bowl. There is no Mike Williams or

1816
01:04:32,312 --> 01:04:33,910
keen an allen that scare the whole way

1817
01:04:33,910 --> 01:04:34,789
hell out of quarterback backs.

1818
01:04:35,429 --> 01:04:36,707
So it is... But if they run on

1819
01:04:36,707 --> 01:04:38,465
the football and move the football on the

1820
01:04:38,465 --> 01:04:40,718
ground with the... Or 3 running backs I've

1821
01:04:40,718 --> 01:04:40,958
got,

1822
01:04:41,677 --> 01:04:44,075
then maybe the pressure on the wide receivers

1823
01:04:44,075 --> 01:04:46,313
to be stars won't be as great. Yeah.

1824
01:04:46,552 --> 01:04:48,790
I forget about Mc. And you're right. He's

1825
01:04:48,790 --> 01:04:49,405
a legit

1826
01:04:50,083 --> 01:04:51,279
now this is kind of a crazy question,

1827
01:04:51,438 --> 01:04:53,113
but going back looking at all of charger

1828
01:04:53,113 --> 01:04:54,788
history and everything that you know about this

1829
01:04:54,788 --> 01:04:56,703
team. Who do you think are the 2

1830
01:04:56,703 --> 01:04:58,936
best wide receivers in the history of the

1831
01:04:58,936 --> 01:05:01,128
team? Well, people will tell you,

1832
01:05:02,945 --> 01:05:04,864
John Jefferson for the short time he was

1833
01:05:04,864 --> 01:05:05,103
here,

1834
01:05:05,902 --> 01:05:08,060
West Chandler was absolutely brilliant.

1835
01:05:09,034 --> 01:05:12,136
Charlie Joiner was a very different type of

1836
01:05:12,136 --> 01:05:14,284
receiver who caught an absolute ton of balls.

1837
01:05:15,001 --> 01:05:15,876
Now way back,

1838
01:05:16,527 --> 01:05:19,568
Old time charger fans American football league days

1839
01:05:20,022 --> 01:05:22,246
will tell Lance All, but that was such

1840
01:05:22,246 --> 01:05:24,152
a different era, and that was so long

1841
01:05:24,152 --> 01:05:24,311
ago,

1842
01:05:25,602 --> 01:05:26,560
modern day chargers.

1843
01:05:27,358 --> 01:05:29,035
I mean, there was there's no doubt that

1844
01:05:29,114 --> 01:05:31,589
Philip Rivers had people to throw to, but

1845
01:05:31,589 --> 01:05:34,079
he also had Tom in it and the

1846
01:05:34,079 --> 01:05:36,400
brilliance of Antonio Gates like foul outside the

1847
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,359
brilliance at Ke Wins. So... But I I

1848
01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:40,099
think those

1849
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:40,880
historically,

1850
01:05:41,454 --> 01:05:43,599
All, the greatest players. Keen and Allen was

1851
01:05:43,599 --> 01:05:46,222
a great route runner. He didn't terror people

1852
01:05:46,222 --> 01:05:48,050
except the fact he's gonna run precise things

1853
01:05:48,050 --> 01:05:49,798
and you're have to defend precise things.

1854
01:05:50,528 --> 01:05:52,669
And, I mean, Keen and Allen will I

1855
01:05:52,669 --> 01:05:54,755
think probably deserves to be in the charges

1856
01:05:54,889 --> 01:05:57,030
all of fame. Mh. Once he retire. Mike

1857
01:05:57,189 --> 01:05:57,982
Williams was big,

1858
01:05:58,632 --> 01:06:00,485
and he didn't quite duplicate

1859
01:06:00,939 --> 01:06:01,439
consistency

1860
01:06:01,973 --> 01:06:03,485
that he had a cl in, but he

1861
01:06:03,485 --> 01:06:05,315
he was hurt a lot, but he was

1862
01:06:05,315 --> 01:06:06,690
still a really good

1863
01:06:07,398 --> 01:06:10,098
yard receiver down the field. He just wasn't...

1864
01:06:10,257 --> 01:06:13,195
Dude he didn't play 16 or 17 games

1865
01:06:13,195 --> 01:06:15,340
every year because he kept getting ding because

1866
01:06:15,340 --> 01:06:16,744
he kept taking hits, but

1867
01:06:17,504 --> 01:06:19,820
I I would say the air cor era

1868
01:06:19,820 --> 01:06:22,537
wide receivers are probably collectively the best and

1869
01:06:22,537 --> 01:06:24,055
the back of the day, A nfl,

1870
01:06:24,709 --> 01:06:26,484
charger your wide receivers

1871
01:06:26,861 --> 01:06:29,411
obviously led by Lance And and the, I

1872
01:06:29,411 --> 01:06:31,882
guess the John Had Era way back in

1873
01:06:31,882 --> 01:06:33,891
the sixties. Man, that's that's a lot of

1874
01:06:33,891 --> 01:06:35,887
third downs ago. It is. And and you

1875
01:06:35,887 --> 01:06:37,722
didn't mention Tony Martin, who was there in

1876
01:06:37,722 --> 01:06:40,436
the nineties. That was for AAA brief period

1877
01:06:40,436 --> 01:06:43,003
of time, but Remember back... I was... It

1878
01:06:43,003 --> 01:06:45,155
was probably after the Super Bowl era, and

1879
01:06:45,155 --> 01:06:48,263
the the chargers signed David Boston. Yeah. You're

1880
01:06:48,263 --> 01:06:49,553
all thought this guy's gonna be us. Stud.

1881
01:06:49,712 --> 01:06:50,825
He's gonna be a great. And that guy

1882
01:06:50,825 --> 01:06:52,177
was like, a head case. He was, like,

1883
01:06:52,733 --> 01:06:55,039
Milton Bradley of the of the Nfl. Yeah.

1884
01:06:55,198 --> 01:06:57,106
I I mean, he was just my state

1885
01:06:57,106 --> 01:06:58,958
and his dad played in the league and

1886
01:06:59,585 --> 01:07:01,175
he had it was a great physical specimen,

1887
01:07:01,333 --> 01:07:02,843
but there were just too much stuff going

1888
01:07:02,843 --> 01:07:04,591
on with him and you couldn't trust him

1889
01:07:04,591 --> 01:07:07,690
and mis practices, and they finally said No.

1890
01:07:07,864 --> 01:07:09,769
Normally they got rid of them. Next question.

1891
01:07:09,927 --> 01:07:11,753
Okay. Let's go here to Cow. He says,

1892
01:07:11,912 --> 01:07:13,499
Lee, you might know this better than me

1893
01:07:13,499 --> 01:07:15,404
even though I've announced him minor lee hockey

1894
01:07:15,404 --> 01:07:16,357
for nearly a decade.

1895
01:07:17,010 --> 01:07:19,109
How exactly does the entry level

1896
01:07:19,409 --> 01:07:20,230
contract El

1897
01:07:20,609 --> 01:07:21,089
actually work?

1898
01:07:21,889 --> 01:07:23,730
It's part of the collective bargaining agreement.

1899
01:07:24,701 --> 01:07:25,201
Every

1900
01:07:25,734 --> 01:07:27,268
rookie who gets drafted

1901
01:07:27,643 --> 01:07:30,530
can be signed a... It's a 3 year

1902
01:07:30,825 --> 01:07:31,325
minimum

1903
01:07:31,779 --> 01:07:32,097
deal,

1904
01:07:33,868 --> 01:07:36,446
it's called entry level contract. And

1905
01:07:37,224 --> 01:07:39,062
he gets it's like a 2 way deal.

1906
01:07:39,621 --> 01:07:40,900
He gets so much if he's in the

1907
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:43,389
minor leagues. He gets so much... He gets

1908
01:07:43,389 --> 01:07:44,368
the bare minimum

1909
01:07:44,825 --> 01:07:47,058
if he's a first year Nhl player. I

1910
01:07:47,058 --> 01:07:49,951
think the Nhl minimum for first year players

1911
01:07:50,009 --> 01:07:51,286
because of the union agreement,

1912
01:07:51,779 --> 01:07:53,378
is 725000.

1913
01:07:53,937 --> 01:07:55,536
If you play in the minor leagues. If

1914
01:07:55,536 --> 01:07:57,214
you played in the East Coast Hockey League,

1915
01:07:57,773 --> 01:07:59,632
you might get a contract that's

1916
01:08:00,011 --> 01:08:01,290
maybe 75000,

1917
01:08:01,623 --> 01:08:03,926
in the American hawk league, which is the

1918
01:08:03,926 --> 01:08:05,435
top triple 8 league if you will.

1919
01:08:06,388 --> 01:08:09,429
The A nhl guys can get anywhere from

1920
01:08:09,739 --> 01:08:11,809
hundred thousand to 02:50.

1921
01:08:12,844 --> 01:08:15,493
But the the... Those the higher priced A

1922
01:08:15,710 --> 01:08:17,755
contracts are really few and far between, But

1923
01:08:17,875 --> 01:08:20,295
It is all structured by the collective Bargaining

1924
01:08:20,435 --> 01:08:22,675
agreement, and in essence, it's a 2 year

1925
01:08:22,675 --> 01:08:24,835
contract. It sounds like, yeah, the Nba 2

1926
01:08:24,835 --> 01:08:26,675
way deal. Yeah. Exactly. Okay.

1927
01:08:27,409 --> 01:08:28,688
Good question. Yeah. It is a good question.

1928
01:08:28,847 --> 01:08:30,685
I agree. Okay. Let's go here to Chris,

1929
01:08:31,245 --> 01:08:33,882
and he says saw huge trade rumor. I'm

1930
01:08:33,882 --> 01:08:35,560
here in the dodgers about to get Kevin

1931
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,368
Go and Bob jet from Toronto for a

1932
01:08:38,368 --> 01:08:41,076
package centered around 2 hot kid arms, Dalton

1933
01:08:41,236 --> 01:08:42,829
Rushing and Dave Roberts.

1934
01:08:43,466 --> 01:08:46,176
Well, Dalton Rushing possibly, and there's a young

1935
01:08:46,176 --> 01:08:47,862
catch sure that stalled the aa a by

1936
01:08:47,862 --> 01:08:49,476
the name of Diego Cart.

1937
01:08:50,091 --> 01:08:51,603
And he's had a bounce back season had

1938
01:08:51,603 --> 01:08:53,752
a miserable season last year he's had injuries,

1939
01:08:54,070 --> 01:08:56,399
sure there rumors everywhere that they're gonna blow

1940
01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:58,156
toronto up. In fact, there's rumors everywhere, they're

1941
01:08:58,156 --> 01:09:00,152
gonna blow Ross Atkins, and general manager are

1942
01:09:00,152 --> 01:09:02,946
out. And and the manager might get fired

1943
01:09:02,946 --> 01:09:05,438
too. But that would be taken on salary,

1944
01:09:05,677 --> 01:09:07,775
but that would be a typical

1945
01:09:08,394 --> 01:09:08,894
contract

1946
01:09:09,752 --> 01:09:13,282
that that Andrew Friedman would make. And Ga,

1947
01:09:13,521 --> 01:09:15,115
who used to pitch for the giants and

1948
01:09:15,115 --> 01:09:17,109
actually was a pretty competitive veteran who was

1949
01:09:17,109 --> 01:09:19,820
in Baltimore I think before that, and maybe

1950
01:09:19,820 --> 01:09:23,108
even Texas Su Detroit, But but Ga, the

1951
01:09:23,108 --> 01:09:24,546
type of god that the dodgers would get

1952
01:09:24,546 --> 01:09:26,384
and be plugged in, doesn't have injury problems,

1953
01:09:26,543 --> 01:09:28,141
takes the ball every fourth or fifth day.

1954
01:09:28,621 --> 01:09:30,473
But sc had a a tufts season. Not

1955
01:09:30,473 --> 01:09:31,511
III

1956
01:09:31,511 --> 01:09:33,426
actually think he's on the disabled list right

1957
01:09:33,426 --> 01:09:35,502
now. His numbers are not what they were.

1958
01:09:35,821 --> 01:09:37,497
You know And if that happens, and it

1959
01:09:37,497 --> 01:09:39,027
then it leads to the next question. Are

1960
01:09:39,027 --> 01:09:41,176
they gonna trade vlad girl because his name

1961
01:09:41,176 --> 01:09:43,245
has also been mentioned out there. I find

1962
01:09:43,245 --> 01:09:45,235
that Her to believe Toronto would trade vlad

1963
01:09:45,235 --> 01:09:46,133
to the Yankee

1964
01:09:46,603 --> 01:09:48,113
you're gonna trade with the enemy in the

1965
01:09:48,113 --> 01:09:50,735
division unless the Yankee just give you a

1966
01:09:50,735 --> 01:09:53,278
volume of young prospects. So, you know,

1967
01:09:53,929 --> 01:09:56,636
connecting the dots that makes sense that maybe

1968
01:09:56,796 --> 01:09:58,867
Ga is is the type of guy they

1969
01:09:58,867 --> 01:10:00,380
go after, because they're gonna afford to make

1970
01:10:00,380 --> 01:10:01,654
this deal because I got so many other

1971
01:10:01,654 --> 01:10:03,735
guys in a farm system. He was good

1972
01:10:03,735 --> 01:10:05,558
with the giants. Yes. You know, for about

1973
01:10:05,558 --> 01:10:07,461
a 2 or 3 year stretch. But isn't

1974
01:10:07,461 --> 01:10:10,077
it amazing how Toronto Blue jays we thought.

1975
01:10:10,809 --> 01:10:12,885
They had all these kids and they're all

1976
01:10:12,885 --> 01:10:14,720
the sons of x major league, and they

1977
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,477
were gonna just run rough shot over the

1978
01:10:16,556 --> 01:10:18,792
A East, and they just keep struggling. Yeah.

1979
01:10:19,032 --> 01:10:19,671
I mean, they got...

1980
01:10:20,641 --> 01:10:21,597
Vlad girl,

1981
01:10:22,474 --> 01:10:22,952
Bi,

1982
01:10:23,590 --> 01:10:25,502
Kevin Bi. Well, he's with the doctors dodgers

1983
01:10:25,502 --> 01:10:26,856
now. Yeah. Bob shit.

1984
01:10:27,668 --> 01:10:29,101
And then they spent a lot of money

1985
01:10:29,101 --> 01:10:31,251
on George Spring, who I was surprised left

1986
01:10:31,330 --> 01:10:32,444
Houston to go there,

1987
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:34,833
but they've had a lot of injuries to

1988
01:10:34,833 --> 01:10:37,550
their pictures, and then you got pitching injuries

1989
01:10:37,550 --> 01:10:40,115
and then guys who just are not performing

1990
01:10:40,728 --> 01:10:42,157
everyday lineup up and guys who get ding.

1991
01:10:42,316 --> 01:10:44,222
And just... It's it's not a good season

1992
01:10:44,222 --> 01:10:46,381
in Toronto and I mean, they're they are

1993
01:10:46,381 --> 01:10:48,917
holding Ross had a general manager responsible. I'm

1994
01:10:48,917 --> 01:10:50,843
not even sure that he's gonna survive

1995
01:10:51,532 --> 01:10:53,530
when we get to the off season. Every

1996
01:10:53,530 --> 01:10:56,632
major league team's got injuries, guys underperforming,

1997
01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:59,893
contract problems, holes in their roster. This is

1998
01:10:59,893 --> 01:11:01,659
gonna be a dynamic 2 week. Yeah. I

1999
01:11:01,659 --> 01:11:02,858
think so. I think there's me a lot

2000
01:11:02,858 --> 01:11:04,217
of wheel in dealing in a trade deadline.

2001
01:11:04,377 --> 01:11:06,215
Thanks, chris. Okay. Let's go to Greg. He

2002
01:11:06,215 --> 01:11:07,972
says, Lee, is there a group out there

2003
01:11:07,972 --> 01:11:09,731
trying to bring the Nfl back to San

2004
01:11:09,890 --> 01:11:12,460
Diego? No. Yeah because there's no stadium. There's

2005
01:11:12,460 --> 01:11:13,655
no sight for a stadium.

2006
01:11:14,692 --> 01:11:16,925
1 of the biggest disappointment I had was

2007
01:11:16,925 --> 01:11:19,476
a, the chargers left and screwed everybody along

2008
01:11:19,476 --> 01:11:19,875
the way.

2009
01:11:20,529 --> 01:11:22,604
B, we had a proposal that was called

2010
01:11:22,604 --> 01:11:24,461
a soccer city proposal

2011
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,792
in which we soccer city was gonna build

2012
01:11:27,792 --> 01:11:28,910
a soccer stadium,

2013
01:11:29,644 --> 01:11:31,322
and go go get an Ml team,

2014
01:11:32,201 --> 01:11:34,597
and then maybe allow San diego state to

2015
01:11:34,597 --> 01:11:37,488
move in. And after 5 years, soccer city

2016
01:11:37,488 --> 01:11:39,400
was gonna give the soccer stadium to San

2017
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,711
Diego state and let them operate it. Mh.

2018
01:11:41,869 --> 01:11:44,180
But part of the soccer city proposal was

2019
01:11:44,180 --> 01:11:46,832
they had a 15 acre tract land

2020
01:11:47,543 --> 01:11:49,618
that they were gonna reserve if somebody wanted

2021
01:11:49,618 --> 01:11:51,773
to come in and build an Nfl stadium

2022
01:11:51,773 --> 01:11:53,369
and try to get an expansion team or

2023
01:11:53,369 --> 01:11:54,007
lure somebody,

2024
01:11:54,566 --> 01:11:57,045
it'd be there. Well, that proposal from Soccer

2025
01:11:57,203 --> 01:12:00,138
City got voted down. San Diego States proposal

2026
01:12:00,138 --> 01:12:02,359
wound up winning, San Diego State took over

2027
01:12:02,359 --> 01:12:02,993
the entire...

2028
01:12:03,724 --> 01:12:06,520
Hundred 43 acres of the of the quote

2029
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:07,100
Qualcomm

2030
01:12:07,878 --> 01:12:08,378
site

2031
01:12:08,837 --> 01:12:09,337
and

2032
01:12:10,768 --> 01:12:13,015
the availability of that land for a stadiums

2033
01:12:13,072 --> 01:12:15,771
gone, because that's gonna be a park or

2034
01:12:15,771 --> 01:12:17,916
a river park or it's gonna be academic

2035
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:19,583
buildings, it's gonna be research center,

2036
01:12:20,473 --> 01:12:20,973
dorm,

2037
01:12:21,748 --> 01:12:24,698
That's that's the long range vision of of

2038
01:12:24,698 --> 01:12:27,249
what Qualcomm has become. So there's no land

2039
01:12:27,249 --> 01:12:28,227
available immediately.

2040
01:12:28,858 --> 01:12:30,367
And you can say, well Rich man, he

2041
01:12:30,367 --> 01:12:31,719
can go by the land. Well, if the

2042
01:12:31,798 --> 01:12:33,308
Rich man's gonna buy the land. So They're

2043
01:12:33,308 --> 01:12:34,819
gonna buy land up in ocean side because

2044
01:12:34,819 --> 01:12:37,203
that was floated out there as a local

2045
01:12:37,203 --> 01:12:39,048
cow. You have to spend the money there.

2046
01:12:39,287 --> 01:12:41,039
You have to spend the enormous money to

2047
01:12:41,039 --> 01:12:42,632
build the stadium, and then you're gonna spend

2048
01:12:42,632 --> 01:12:45,100
money for an expansion team. Where's lot of

2049
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:45,897
money gonna come.

2050
01:12:46,550 --> 01:12:48,386
I mean, outside of Jeff Bezos, I don't

2051
01:12:48,386 --> 01:12:50,541
know many people that have that kind of

2052
01:12:50,541 --> 01:12:52,557
wealth to do all 3 of those things

2053
01:12:53,015 --> 01:12:55,251
that need to happen. I think sadly, I

2054
01:12:55,411 --> 01:12:56,944
I don't think ever gonna see the Nfl

2055
01:12:56,944 --> 01:12:58,702
back here at least in our modern lifetime.

2056
01:12:59,101 --> 01:13:01,339
I agree with you. But have... Has the

2057
01:13:01,739 --> 01:13:03,657
Nfl? Are there whispers of expansion?

2058
01:13:04,456 --> 01:13:05,515
No. But they're

2059
01:13:06,149 --> 01:13:07,987
you have to know that there's an enormous

2060
01:13:07,987 --> 01:13:09,505
amount of money out there to be made

2061
01:13:09,505 --> 01:13:10,783
as an expansion franchise.

2062
01:13:11,822 --> 01:13:13,020
You just have to pick the right market.

2063
01:13:13,180 --> 01:13:15,185
So I'm not... Outside of San Diego. I

2064
01:13:15,185 --> 01:13:16,855
don't know what other right markets are out

2065
01:13:16,855 --> 01:13:18,764
there. Hell, you're not going fe North Dakota.

2066
01:13:18,923 --> 01:13:20,832
I guarantee that. Well, maybe it's like some

2067
01:13:20,832 --> 01:13:21,229
of these

2068
01:13:21,865 --> 01:13:24,587
international locals. Well, that's know, that's been talked

2069
01:13:24,587 --> 01:13:27,162
about. I mean, they are talking London expansion

2070
01:13:27,301 --> 01:13:29,556
franchise. They are talking Mexico city

2071
01:13:30,253 --> 01:13:32,979
expansion franchise, but, you I think that's down

2072
01:13:32,979 --> 01:13:34,730
road. I don't think that's that's in the

2073
01:13:34,730 --> 01:13:37,039
immediate near future in the league. Interesting. Yeah.

2074
01:13:37,358 --> 01:13:37,676
Interesting.

2075
01:13:38,234 --> 01:13:39,587
Okay. Let's move on. Let's go to Angel.

2076
01:13:40,319 --> 01:13:41,917
His all star break couldn't come at a

2077
01:13:41,917 --> 01:13:43,676
better time for both the dodgers and Pad.

2078
01:13:44,155 --> 01:13:46,073
As for the angels, they've been a surprise

2079
01:13:46,073 --> 01:13:48,071
team, I was sure they'd be 33 and

2080
01:13:48,071 --> 01:13:49,920
65 at the break. Yeah. I think they

2081
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,033
have 41 wins.

2082
01:13:51,671 --> 01:13:53,739
I don't know how Ron Washington got this

2083
01:13:53,739 --> 01:13:55,990
roster to 41 wins. I think the records

2084
01:13:56,127 --> 01:13:59,088
41 and 56 something like that. They just

2085
01:13:59,088 --> 01:14:01,720
don't have enough players right now. But, I

2086
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,873
mean, they have developed some some guys that

2087
01:14:03,873 --> 01:14:05,708
you really like. I think Zac need, the

2088
01:14:05,708 --> 01:14:07,622
short stops really become a fan favorite and

2089
01:14:07,622 --> 01:14:08,340
logan a hop,

2090
01:14:08,912 --> 01:14:10,023
and a little bit of pop in that

2091
01:14:10,023 --> 01:14:11,847
bad. Not hitting for great average. He's the

2092
01:14:11,847 --> 01:14:14,386
catcher. He's played very well. Although there are

2093
01:14:14,386 --> 01:14:16,529
people calling the halo about trades.

2094
01:14:17,579 --> 01:14:20,140
That there is... There's a lot of conversation

2095
01:14:20,140 --> 01:14:22,220
about Taylor Ward, the left field are possibly

2096
01:14:22,220 --> 01:14:22,779
being moved.

2097
01:14:23,420 --> 01:14:25,913
They were shopping Joe Dell. He's got... Got

2098
01:14:25,913 --> 01:14:27,984
some power he's not hitting for average at

2099
01:14:27,984 --> 01:14:30,373
all. And this is really deep into his

2100
01:14:30,373 --> 01:14:30,692
career.

2101
01:14:31,249 --> 01:14:32,524
I think the shocking thing,

2102
01:14:33,559 --> 01:14:34,196
I read a piece.

2103
01:14:34,849 --> 01:14:36,603
You know, 2 years ago, no, 3 years

2104
01:14:36,603 --> 01:14:37,719
ago, 20 21.

2105
01:14:38,356 --> 01:14:41,546
They drafted 21 pictures, all 21 of the

2106
01:14:41,546 --> 01:14:43,951
draft were pictures. I remember that. Only 2

2107
01:14:43,951 --> 01:14:45,302
of them have gotten other the major leagues

2108
01:14:45,302 --> 01:14:46,973
and both of them got hurt, really. Yeah.

2109
01:14:47,212 --> 01:14:49,042
Chase Sol seth is 1.

2110
01:14:49,677 --> 01:14:51,359
He's the only 1 that got there. He

2111
01:14:51,359 --> 01:14:53,023
got hurt. The other 1 got here and

2112
01:14:53,023 --> 01:14:53,895
was never healthy.

2113
01:14:54,449 --> 01:14:55,345
They traded

2114
01:14:55,876 --> 01:14:57,954
a group of them away. The I think

2115
01:14:57,954 --> 01:14:59,635
there's 9 of them still left from the

2116
01:14:59,635 --> 01:15:01,555
21, but they're all buried in the Angels

2117
01:15:01,555 --> 01:15:03,574
farm system, None of them are viewed as

2118
01:15:03,795 --> 01:15:05,555
major league picture. So I mean, when you

2119
01:15:05,555 --> 01:15:07,987
spend all that, all those picks on arms

2120
01:15:08,046 --> 01:15:09,483
and hardly anybody gets there,

2121
01:15:10,201 --> 01:15:11,558
Not good. And that's why they're in the

2122
01:15:11,558 --> 01:15:13,075
mess they're in right now. Oh, that goes

2123
01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:14,991
to player development, and their coaching system and

2124
01:15:14,991 --> 01:15:16,684
everything else. And that's spins done back to

2125
01:15:16,764 --> 01:15:19,564
Arctic Moreno and philosophy. Yeah. And resources and

2126
01:15:19,564 --> 01:15:20,784
where you invest. But

2127
01:15:21,324 --> 01:15:23,484
Rod Washington has done a great job there

2128
01:15:23,484 --> 01:15:25,917
with the Angels. But remember he was a

2129
01:15:26,136 --> 01:15:28,371
consideration for the Pod ray job. Mh Pod

2130
01:15:28,371 --> 01:15:30,446
hired Shi. I mean, just imagine for a

2131
01:15:30,446 --> 01:15:32,441
moment that Ron Washington was the manager of

2132
01:15:32,441 --> 01:15:34,208
the Pad. Do you think the pod will

2133
01:15:34,208 --> 01:15:35,481
be better or worse than they are?

2134
01:15:36,277 --> 01:15:38,345
His ability to communicate where the players and

2135
01:15:38,345 --> 01:15:38,902
teach players?

2136
01:15:40,269 --> 01:15:42,343
But he... You know, those... As much as

2137
01:15:42,343 --> 01:15:44,736
he may have input in developing the players,

2138
01:15:45,135 --> 01:15:46,570
players still gotta do it at home plate.

2139
01:15:46,729 --> 01:15:47,368
And veterans,

2140
01:15:47,926 --> 01:15:49,601
these are the guys have not really had

2141
01:15:49,601 --> 01:15:52,003
great great seasons are not hitting. So I

2142
01:15:52,003 --> 01:15:53,277
don't know if he would've have made a

2143
01:15:53,277 --> 01:15:55,287
a big difference. I I think

2144
01:15:56,060 --> 01:15:58,384
the big issue is that Washington had off

2145
01:15:58,384 --> 01:16:00,056
the field problems. And Pad,

2146
01:16:00,614 --> 01:16:03,162
a aj Pell just does not get involved

2147
01:16:03,162 --> 01:16:05,234
with guys who've got off the field issues,

2148
01:16:05,393 --> 01:16:06,085
and I think

2149
01:16:06,837 --> 01:16:08,527
indirectly. That's the reason why

2150
01:16:09,373 --> 01:16:11,434
Run Washington was not hired in San Diego.

2151
01:16:11,831 --> 01:16:14,462
And I I like Sc. I I think

2152
01:16:14,462 --> 01:16:16,206
he he runs the club balance. He's got

2153
01:16:16,206 --> 01:16:18,664
strong philosophies. He makes too many excuses to

2154
01:16:18,664 --> 01:16:20,885
me because he never holds anybody publicly accountable.

2155
01:16:21,694 --> 01:16:23,291
But again, the players in the banners box

2156
01:16:23,291 --> 01:16:24,568
and players on the amount are the ones

2157
01:16:24,568 --> 01:16:26,163
that have to perform and in part that's

2158
01:16:26,163 --> 01:16:27,920
got... That goes back to the general manager.

2159
01:16:28,079 --> 01:16:29,356
Who you give me and how come they're

2160
01:16:29,356 --> 01:16:31,689
not playing well? Well, I like Schultz. I

2161
01:16:31,770 --> 01:16:33,050
I know I like them a lot. Here

2162
01:16:33,050 --> 01:16:33,929
here's another comment.

2163
01:16:34,569 --> 01:16:36,409
Also Pod ray Dodge are related from Richard.

2164
01:16:37,050 --> 01:16:39,543
With the dodgers having unlimited resources, what A

2165
01:16:39,543 --> 01:16:41,697
aj offer at a deadline. No farm system

2166
01:16:41,697 --> 01:16:43,691
capital to work with. Well, he's got farm

2167
01:16:43,691 --> 01:16:45,685
system capital, but the ownership has said we're

2168
01:16:45,685 --> 01:16:47,679
not treating any of these young players, and

2169
01:16:47,679 --> 01:16:50,084
and they're making reference to The top 2

2170
01:16:50,084 --> 01:16:52,628
pictures in the organization are really struggling Richard,

2171
01:16:56,047 --> 01:16:56,922
dj Las,

2172
01:16:57,893 --> 01:16:59,568
who was coming off elbow surgery is a

2173
01:16:59,568 --> 01:17:01,642
high school pitcher. He's not pitching well. Rob

2174
01:17:01,642 --> 01:17:03,956
sn has just stalled the Aa. He's not

2175
01:17:03,956 --> 01:17:05,649
pitching well. Those are the 2 arms.

2176
01:17:06,367 --> 01:17:08,844
The third player is Ethan Sal, who's hitting

2177
01:17:08,844 --> 01:17:11,002
under 200 at at Class Ab ball, but

2178
01:17:11,002 --> 01:17:11,881
he's only 18.

2179
01:17:12,373 --> 01:17:13,885
And the fourth player is a kid here

2180
01:17:13,885 --> 01:17:14,838
at Lake El,

2181
01:17:15,872 --> 01:17:16,747
Leonardo Dev degrees,

2182
01:17:17,224 --> 01:17:19,212
who's pushes batting average a little bit over

2183
01:17:19,212 --> 01:17:21,614
200 right now. But he's really young too.

2184
01:17:21,773 --> 01:17:23,127
Yes. I think he's 17.

2185
01:17:23,684 --> 01:17:26,312
So I mean, Potter his philosophy is push

2186
01:17:26,312 --> 01:17:28,064
him out there, force him to play a

2187
01:17:28,064 --> 01:17:29,672
little bit above their heads, see how they

2188
01:17:29,672 --> 01:17:31,822
cope with it, etcetera. And the ownership has

2189
01:17:31,822 --> 01:17:34,051
said was stop trading. I mean, he's traded

2190
01:17:34,051 --> 01:17:36,940
half the blue chips in this farm system

2191
01:17:36,997 --> 01:17:39,238
already. For the transactions that he made to

2192
01:17:39,238 --> 01:17:40,272
get Luis rise,

2193
01:17:41,146 --> 01:17:43,054
etcetera. So I don't think they've got a

2194
01:17:43,054 --> 01:17:45,439
lot of resources to give unless you're gonna

2195
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,005
part ways with Hassan hassan Kim

2196
01:17:47,442 --> 01:17:49,193
and Kim can be a walk free agent,

2197
01:17:49,828 --> 01:17:51,341
and they've got a lot of short stops

2198
01:17:51,341 --> 01:17:52,773
in the organization in the system,

2199
01:17:53,648 --> 01:17:55,239
maybe a trade cam. Maybe a trade camp.

2200
01:17:56,209 --> 01:17:58,047
Because he has shown flashes that he can

2201
01:17:58,047 --> 01:17:59,885
hit, and he's a kind of a workhorse

2202
01:17:59,885 --> 01:18:02,382
behind home plate. Although there's not an established

2203
01:18:02,442 --> 01:18:05,010
everyday major league picture maybe a trade majorly

2204
01:18:05,010 --> 01:18:06,761
catcher or maybe you trade the catcher. So

2205
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,228
Aj is kinda limited and Aj limited by

2206
01:18:09,228 --> 01:18:10,899
by the luxury tax. They told them you're

2207
01:18:10,899 --> 01:18:12,650
not going over the threshold to getting near

2208
01:18:12,650 --> 01:18:13,207
the threshold.

2209
01:18:13,938 --> 01:18:16,083
That limits whether he could take on a

2210
01:18:16,083 --> 01:18:18,070
big salary. I do think they're gonna make

2211
01:18:18,070 --> 01:18:19,262
a deal. I'd like to see we at

2212
01:18:19,421 --> 01:18:21,408
Quan trill because it they own his rights

2213
01:18:21,408 --> 01:18:23,751
for 2 more years. So But again, Colorado

2214
01:18:23,886 --> 01:18:26,190
is not gonna make the Pad better just

2215
01:18:26,190 --> 01:18:27,939
to make them better, Colorado is gonna want.

2216
01:18:28,416 --> 01:18:29,074
They wanna

2217
01:18:29,608 --> 01:18:32,885
extract something from San Diego. Well, there's definitely

2218
01:18:32,885 --> 01:18:34,559
a game of musical chairs going on in

2219
01:18:34,559 --> 01:18:36,313
the in field and ADH spot. They got

2220
01:18:36,313 --> 01:18:37,509
1 guy that doesn't fit.

2221
01:18:38,305 --> 01:18:41,271
Trading Kim would make all those pieces work,

2222
01:18:41,430 --> 01:18:42,468
but he's at the end of a deal.

2223
01:18:42,707 --> 01:18:44,463
He's gonna be a free agent. I I

2224
01:18:44,463 --> 01:18:45,341
don't know if that makes sense.

2225
01:18:46,378 --> 01:18:48,468
But, yeah, the the... The pod...

2226
01:18:49,108 --> 01:18:50,226
They've got their starters,

2227
01:18:50,945 --> 01:18:52,543
but we don't know what to expect from

2228
01:18:52,543 --> 01:18:54,621
them. We don't... There's no guy like in

2229
01:18:54,621 --> 01:18:57,430
aaa or Aa, the... That's... You think is

2230
01:18:57,430 --> 01:18:59,983
waiting for his opportunity. Yeah. III

2231
01:18:59,983 --> 01:19:00,483
thought

2232
01:19:00,860 --> 01:19:02,775
if Sn had another good year and he

2233
01:19:02,775 --> 01:19:04,529
was pretty good last year going from Me

2234
01:19:04,529 --> 01:19:06,457
to Aa. I thought, okay. He's gonna here.

2235
01:19:06,617 --> 01:19:07,969
But he's not gonna arrive here now is

2236
01:19:07,969 --> 01:19:10,355
2 and 8 with the E of over

2237
01:19:10,355 --> 01:19:12,423
7. So, I mean, he's just kinda hit

2238
01:19:12,423 --> 01:19:14,830
a wall. I've where ears have to work

2239
01:19:14,830 --> 01:19:17,304
through that and young young guys get overwhelmed,

2240
01:19:17,463 --> 01:19:18,820
then you gotta work through that and make

2241
01:19:18,820 --> 01:19:21,384
them more complete ball players. But So the

2242
01:19:21,384 --> 01:19:23,523
ponder is... They've got some limitations here.

2243
01:19:24,632 --> 01:19:26,376
I don't know where it's gonna go. All

2244
01:19:26,454 --> 01:19:28,373
I know is we're 2 weeks out. And

2245
01:19:28,373 --> 01:19:30,285
if you're Sc and struggling, you'd rather make

2246
01:19:30,285 --> 01:19:32,356
the the best trade you can now, if

2247
01:19:32,356 --> 01:19:34,667
you can get 2 or 3 starts out

2248
01:19:34,667 --> 01:19:36,115
of the next... Scott you're bringing a into

2249
01:19:36,115 --> 01:19:38,505
your rotation rather than wait till July 30

2250
01:19:38,505 --> 01:19:38,743
first.

2251
01:19:39,381 --> 01:19:41,292
Maybe you're better to do that. I do

2252
01:19:41,292 --> 01:19:43,125
think the dodgers, this is interesting because they

2253
01:19:43,125 --> 01:19:45,687
played so badly. And they have so many

2254
01:19:45,687 --> 01:19:47,518
pitching problems. I think the dodgers me the

2255
01:19:47,518 --> 01:19:49,189
first ones to dive in and make a

2256
01:19:49,189 --> 01:19:51,099
deal because they get the assets to do

2257
01:19:51,099 --> 01:19:53,426
that. They do. Okay. They're loyal A couple

2258
01:19:53,426 --> 01:19:55,100
more here. Okay. Let's go to David.

2259
01:19:56,057 --> 01:19:58,131
Talk a little soccer. He says, they need

2260
01:19:58,131 --> 01:19:59,805
to do a better job about the conditions

2261
01:19:59,805 --> 01:20:01,560
of the pitch used for the World Cup.

2262
01:20:02,614 --> 01:20:04,851
It was bad for Cop America and possibly

2263
01:20:04,851 --> 01:20:07,908
cause messi injury. They put so over the

2264
01:20:07,968 --> 01:20:09,646
artificial turf. Yeah. It was a real problem,

2265
01:20:09,886 --> 01:20:11,737
and then they they watered this... Thought and

2266
01:20:11,737 --> 01:20:12,293
was really...

2267
01:20:12,850 --> 01:20:15,157
The players are skid. And that... You know,

2268
01:20:15,317 --> 01:20:17,385
that's how you get hamstrings or in in

2269
01:20:17,385 --> 01:20:19,135
message case. He didn't get hit. Now he

2270
01:20:19,135 --> 01:20:21,619
got kicked prior. Thought He got killed prior.

2271
01:20:21,859 --> 01:20:22,359
Just

2272
01:20:22,896 --> 01:20:25,688
terrible way Columbia place. I mean, spikes up

2273
01:20:25,688 --> 01:20:27,522
all the time. Yeah. And so he went

2274
01:20:27,522 --> 01:20:29,117
down on an ankle. He was down for

2275
01:20:29,117 --> 01:20:31,202
almost 5 minutes they short handed as they

2276
01:20:31,202 --> 01:20:33,427
administered to him off the field, and they

2277
01:20:33,427 --> 01:20:35,177
went back on and when he was running,

2278
01:20:35,336 --> 01:20:37,935
his foot slipped, and he'd already had head

2279
01:20:38,054 --> 01:20:40,043
had ankle problems even all the way back

2280
01:20:40,043 --> 01:20:41,476
with Miami and Ml,

2281
01:20:42,033 --> 01:20:43,704
and he went right down and he was

2282
01:20:43,704 --> 01:20:45,670
just enormous enormous pain. So

2283
01:20:46,424 --> 01:20:48,409
yeah, Cop has taken a lot of crap.

2284
01:20:49,044 --> 01:20:50,814
Field conditions in some of the locals

2285
01:20:51,347 --> 01:20:54,697
and the whole ticket distribution thing, and security

2286
01:20:54,697 --> 01:20:56,921
at least in the Miami scenario. It was

2287
01:20:56,921 --> 01:20:58,907
fascinating you know because they were drawn 70

2288
01:20:58,907 --> 01:20:59,780
to 80000,

2289
01:21:00,019 --> 01:21:01,448
some of these venues for the games. I

2290
01:21:01,448 --> 01:21:04,408
mean soccer in America to me has really,

2291
01:21:04,648 --> 01:21:07,037
really arrived. 0IA hundred percent degree. And I

2292
01:21:07,037 --> 01:21:09,188
think it's great. You know, considering that the,

2293
01:21:09,268 --> 01:21:11,512
you know, it's an international sport, I think

2294
01:21:11,512 --> 01:21:12,228
it's fantastic.

2295
01:21:12,784 --> 01:21:15,011
Now the the stadium where they played in

2296
01:21:15,091 --> 01:21:16,920
Miami. That's where the dolphins play our hard

2297
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,908
rock. Okay. So that's why they had, I

2298
01:21:18,908 --> 01:21:20,737
guess the turf underneath. That's what they normally

2299
01:21:20,737 --> 01:21:20,895
use there.

2300
01:21:21,789 --> 01:21:23,869
Interesting. But, I I saw the field and

2301
01:21:23,869 --> 01:21:25,949
and I remember seeing the sprinklers at halftime

2302
01:21:25,949 --> 01:21:28,429
time, and the... It's interesting when you on

2303
01:21:28,429 --> 01:21:30,924
television, It's hard to tell. But the feel

2304
01:21:30,924 --> 01:21:33,481
was so perfectly manic. And every time they

2305
01:21:33,481 --> 01:21:36,118
fell, they had shards of grass all over

2306
01:21:36,118 --> 01:21:37,716
them. You know So I must just don't

2307
01:21:37,716 --> 01:21:40,362
know lawn in the thing. But I'm just

2308
01:21:40,362 --> 01:21:42,742
amazed that they keep it in such great

2309
01:21:42,742 --> 01:21:44,805
condition. But to, you know, to David's point,

2310
01:21:44,885 --> 01:21:46,804
there were cases where there were d. Oh,

2311
01:21:46,883 --> 01:21:48,469
yeah. And and and a lot of problems.

2312
01:21:48,628 --> 01:21:50,135
And that's what took out messi. Yeah. And

2313
01:21:50,135 --> 01:21:51,880
they said the the field was really slick,

2314
01:21:52,118 --> 01:21:53,943
which meant they watered it a lot. No

2315
01:21:53,943 --> 01:21:55,783
granted. It's in... Oh, It's a... It's not

2316
01:21:55,783 --> 01:21:57,609
an open roof stadium. It's a hole in

2317
01:21:57,609 --> 01:21:59,752
the roof stadium, but it was hot, and

2318
01:21:59,752 --> 01:22:01,817
it was humid, and then they water the

2319
01:22:01,817 --> 01:22:03,324
hell out of it and a footing. Night

2320
01:22:03,404 --> 01:22:05,649
I that... Players are going down the whole

2321
01:22:05,649 --> 01:22:08,121
night. So they they've got between now and

2322
01:22:08,121 --> 01:22:11,630
20 26 on different venues to figure this

2323
01:22:11,630 --> 01:22:13,479
thing out for the World Cup. But that'll

2324
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,353
be world cup people not Cop America people.

2325
01:22:16,512 --> 01:22:19,466
Right? Now the stadium where Lionel Messi plays

2326
01:22:19,466 --> 01:22:21,462
in the Ml is a different stadium. Yes.

2327
01:22:21,702 --> 01:22:24,345
That's an Ml built, stadium by David Beckham.

2328
01:22:24,583 --> 01:22:26,173
Like built that a couple years ago. So

2329
01:22:26,173 --> 01:22:28,796
that's what maybe, like, 30000 capacity, something like

2330
01:22:28,796 --> 01:22:31,279
that. Alright. Alright. Next question go to social

2331
01:22:31,279 --> 01:22:32,960
media. Yeah. Let's do social media. We've got

2332
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,399
a bunch of guys here in line.

2333
01:22:35,199 --> 01:22:36,640
How about f f1. Let's talk F 1.

2334
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,213
And this is from Peter. He says, that

2335
01:22:39,213 --> 01:22:41,610
race was lost by stupidity, more than 1

2336
01:22:41,610 --> 01:22:43,527
by greatness. At the end it was only

2337
01:22:43,527 --> 01:22:47,131
1.4 seconds splitting them. Oh, he's talking about

2338
01:22:47,289 --> 01:22:48,187
Lewis Hamilton

2339
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,095
upsetting Max ver

2340
01:22:51,025 --> 01:22:53,729
at the British Grande prix at Silver stone.

2341
01:22:53,967 --> 01:22:56,614
We've talked about this. Last week. But the

2342
01:22:56,614 --> 01:22:59,175
fact that that Hamilton was able to be

2343
01:22:59,175 --> 01:23:00,474
running in the top

2344
01:23:00,774 --> 01:23:01,914
4 or 5

2345
01:23:02,709 --> 01:23:04,867
with a car that's not produced all season

2346
01:23:04,867 --> 01:23:07,505
long is amazing. Now Ver has had accidents

2347
01:23:07,505 --> 01:23:10,322
for Snap had scripts in the pits, Hamilton

2348
01:23:10,381 --> 01:23:11,500
right place right time,

2349
01:23:12,792 --> 01:23:14,302
anyone up post in the victory. If they

2350
01:23:14,302 --> 01:23:15,654
had to go 2 or 3 more laps,

2351
01:23:16,448 --> 01:23:19,072
maybe somebody would have caught them. But it

2352
01:23:19,072 --> 01:23:19,787
is interesting,

2353
01:23:20,264 --> 01:23:21,377
that's a first win,

2354
01:23:21,868 --> 01:23:24,581
since 20 21 for Sir lewis. And, of

2355
01:23:24,581 --> 01:23:25,719
course, he's gonna leave

2356
01:23:26,495 --> 01:23:28,091
Mercedes here at the end of the season

2357
01:23:28,091 --> 01:23:30,962
to go to Ferrari in a very controversial

2358
01:23:30,962 --> 01:23:31,654
move, but

2359
01:23:32,411 --> 01:23:34,801
it's it's really interesting seeing over stopping right

2360
01:23:34,801 --> 01:23:36,656
now is being viewed. There's almost

2361
01:23:37,510 --> 01:23:38,068
the enemy.

2362
01:23:38,706 --> 01:23:41,212
Like, also nobody likes them. And he's dominated

2363
01:23:41,269 --> 01:23:42,862
the sport for the better part of 2

2364
01:23:42,862 --> 01:23:43,362
years

2365
01:23:43,818 --> 01:23:45,649
with team Red Bull, and, you know, there's

2366
01:23:45,649 --> 01:23:48,613
there's situations that maybe they part ways with

2367
01:23:48,613 --> 01:23:50,049
this guy. So I don't know the guys

2368
01:23:50,049 --> 01:23:51,725
hugo go has gotten totally out of hand.

2369
01:23:52,123 --> 01:23:53,720
He said so many incidents the second half

2370
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:55,716
of the season. He's not dominating the races.

2371
01:23:56,034 --> 01:23:58,432
It anymore. Some interesting see where it goes

2372
01:23:58,432 --> 01:24:00,180
in f f1. But, you know, for Sir

2373
01:24:00,259 --> 01:24:00,577
Lewis,

2374
01:24:01,292 --> 01:24:03,992
I'd nobody expect. I don't know anybody. Myself

2375
01:24:03,992 --> 01:24:05,262
included, and I follow f 1,

2376
01:24:06,470 --> 01:24:08,538
expected a hamilton gonna do anything before he'd

2377
01:24:08,538 --> 01:24:10,129
reach the end of the road with with

2378
01:24:10,447 --> 01:24:11,800
Mercedes and the left to go to Ferrari.

2379
01:24:13,009 --> 01:24:14,925
For Snap was winning too damn much. And

2380
01:24:14,925 --> 01:24:16,760
we listen it all the races. Yeah. So

2381
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:18,355
it's nice to see a little change of

2382
01:24:18,355 --> 01:24:20,032
the guard, but it's really the old guy

2383
01:24:20,032 --> 01:24:22,759
that's back. With Lewis Hamilton. But this is

2384
01:24:22,759 --> 01:24:24,274
kind of a crazy question. But I remember

2385
01:24:24,274 --> 01:24:26,587
as a kid back in the seventies or

2386
01:24:26,587 --> 01:24:29,379
so, there were f 1 cars that had

2387
01:24:29,379 --> 01:24:31,627
4 wheels in the front. And 2 in

2388
01:24:31,627 --> 01:24:33,060
the back. Have you ever seen those before?

2389
01:24:33,379 --> 01:24:35,211
Like, l racing? Does that ring a bell?

2390
01:24:35,689 --> 01:24:37,520
No. Okay. I gotta go look that up.

2391
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,273
Sure. And you weren't drunk when you thought

2392
01:24:39,273 --> 01:24:41,045
about that? I don't know Think might Was

2393
01:24:41,045 --> 01:24:42,324
a little kid. I was probably playing too

2394
01:24:42,324 --> 01:24:43,844
much attention to my slot car racing truck.

2395
01:24:44,244 --> 01:24:46,484
No Never... That's a reach. I've never ever

2396
01:24:46,484 --> 01:24:47,524
heard that 1. But

2397
01:24:48,256 --> 01:24:50,423
1 has grown. It is so

2398
01:24:51,432 --> 01:24:51,932
expensive

2399
01:24:52,545 --> 01:24:53,260
to operate.

2400
01:24:53,975 --> 01:24:56,993
They... What they charge for a city to

2401
01:24:56,993 --> 01:24:58,844
host is absolutely phenomenal,

2402
01:24:59,404 --> 01:25:01,904
but it's grown. I mean, from a network

2403
01:25:02,125 --> 01:25:04,685
perspective, it is must see Tv, especially in

2404
01:25:04,685 --> 01:25:07,095
the European venues, which is why now they're

2405
01:25:07,095 --> 01:25:08,929
pushing to come here to the states, and,

2406
01:25:09,088 --> 01:25:10,922
you know, they they and soccer are trying

2407
01:25:10,922 --> 01:25:12,915
to make an impact here in the Us,

2408
01:25:13,074 --> 01:25:14,510
and now now we're gonna be up to...

2409
01:25:14,922 --> 01:25:17,067
3 f f1 races, and the goal within

2410
01:25:17,067 --> 01:25:19,052
a couple of years is to have 5

2411
01:25:19,052 --> 01:25:21,197
events here in the states, you know, in

2412
01:25:21,197 --> 01:25:22,627
addition to the 1 they have in in

2413
01:25:22,627 --> 01:25:23,976
in the Canadian Grande prix.

2414
01:25:25,025 --> 01:25:26,298
There was in Montreal. So it's...

2415
01:25:27,093 --> 01:25:29,741
I mean, this sport has just exploded Their

2416
01:25:29,798 --> 01:25:32,045
personalities. And I mean, it's... It's really just

2417
01:25:32,045 --> 01:25:33,885
a very, very different sport now than it

2418
01:25:33,885 --> 01:25:36,204
was 5 years ago and Mh. Really different

2419
01:25:36,204 --> 01:25:38,045
than it was 10 or 20 years ago

2420
01:25:38,045 --> 01:25:39,164
and it was great back then.

2421
01:25:39,819 --> 01:25:42,214
Hey, Oh, I'm enjoying it. I'll tell you

2422
01:25:42,214 --> 01:25:43,810
what. Can we get 1 more question or

2423
01:25:43,810 --> 01:25:45,167
here go. This is about the home run

2424
01:25:45,167 --> 01:25:47,483
derby, which is gonna happen tonight. And this

2425
01:25:47,483 --> 01:25:49,252
is from do you love it? He says,

2426
01:25:49,412 --> 01:25:51,326
I hate how they turn the home run

2427
01:25:51,326 --> 01:25:53,877
derby into this rapid fire thing. The crowd

2428
01:25:53,877 --> 01:25:55,552
used to be able to admire each long

2429
01:25:55,552 --> 01:25:57,226
ball hit, and now the next pitch is

2430
01:25:57,226 --> 01:25:59,542
thrown, Before the last 1 even lands and

2431
01:25:59,542 --> 01:26:01,445
the hit are out of breath, Let the

2432
01:26:01,445 --> 01:26:03,189
big boys go out there and launch some

2433
01:26:03,189 --> 01:26:04,694
for the fans and keep it to 2

2434
01:26:04,694 --> 01:26:08,205
rounds. And Ps ditch the hideous uniforms, let

2435
01:26:08,205 --> 01:26:10,351
them wear their own Uni. Here here, let

2436
01:26:10,351 --> 01:26:12,179
that the home team where their home jersey

2437
01:26:12,179 --> 01:26:13,784
is in white. So we get to see

2438
01:26:13,784 --> 01:26:16,171
all the colors that the road teams with

2439
01:26:16,171 --> 01:26:18,319
their road graves, with their own logos. I

2440
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:20,644
think that would be cool. You know, they've

2441
01:26:20,644 --> 01:26:22,402
invoked new rules, a lot of a lot

2442
01:26:22,402 --> 01:26:23,760
of the guys who've been in the derby

2443
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:25,517
are not in the derby this year in

2444
01:26:25,517 --> 01:26:27,515
the injury factors, obviously 1.

2445
01:26:28,570 --> 01:26:30,810
And they've they've changed the rules, and it's

2446
01:26:30,810 --> 01:26:32,510
not gonna be head to head

2447
01:26:32,890 --> 01:26:33,050
competition.

2448
01:26:34,090 --> 01:26:35,689
I go up and I take my swings,

2449
01:26:35,864 --> 01:26:37,611
and then the next batter. John Reilly goes

2450
01:26:37,611 --> 01:26:39,516
up. He takes his swings and the third

2451
01:26:39,516 --> 01:26:39,755
batter,

2452
01:26:40,549 --> 01:26:43,328
our dog who is our mascot for, it

2453
01:26:43,328 --> 01:26:45,725
takes... His swings. Mh. And then they'll just

2454
01:26:45,725 --> 01:26:47,630
take the top 4 guys, and then they'll

2455
01:26:47,630 --> 01:26:49,694
advance and they'll be semi finals. And also

2456
01:26:49,694 --> 01:26:51,679
they're taking down the ratchet down the pitches?

2457
01:26:51,837 --> 01:26:53,678
How many pitches you can... Swing at. They're

2458
01:26:53,678 --> 01:26:55,822
gonna give these guys a chance to stand

2459
01:26:55,822 --> 01:26:57,568
in the box catch their breath before the

2460
01:26:57,568 --> 01:27:01,140
next ball. No, do is is is absolutely

2461
01:27:01,140 --> 01:27:03,787
correct. It It just became dramatic, throw it,

2462
01:27:04,028 --> 01:27:05,706
throw. It hit it, hit it. And, you

2463
01:27:05,706 --> 01:27:08,023
know, I'm a player. I'm a manager, a

2464
01:27:08,023 --> 01:27:09,462
general manager of a team has got my

2465
01:27:09,462 --> 01:27:10,820
star player in home and derby. I want

2466
01:27:10,820 --> 01:27:13,475
my guy to suffer oblique injury because he's

2467
01:27:13,475 --> 01:27:15,954
trying to do too much. So this one's

2468
01:27:15,954 --> 01:27:17,875
gonna be ratchet down and handled a little

2469
01:27:17,875 --> 01:27:18,435
bit differently.

2470
01:27:19,168 --> 01:27:21,872
I love that the polar bear, Pete Lo.

2471
01:27:22,350 --> 01:27:24,020
This is a big deal for him, and

2472
01:27:24,020 --> 01:27:26,344
he makes it a big deal. That's exciting.

2473
01:27:26,664 --> 01:27:28,505
And then I also go back to remembering

2474
01:27:28,505 --> 01:27:29,704
when the All star game was here in

2475
01:27:29,784 --> 01:27:32,664
San Diego, and Will Myers had his brother

2476
01:27:32,664 --> 01:27:34,277
pitch to him and he got bean by

2477
01:27:34,277 --> 01:27:36,271
1 of the balls. This is typical bodies.

2478
01:27:36,511 --> 01:27:36,910
Right? Yeah.

2479
01:27:38,107 --> 01:27:39,304
You know, but who's not there,

2480
01:27:40,102 --> 01:27:40,900
obviously, Ot,

2481
01:27:41,393 --> 01:27:42,902
and he leads baseball home runs,

2482
01:27:43,537 --> 01:27:44,966
and so is not there.

2483
01:27:45,918 --> 01:27:47,427
You know, when you talked about the All

2484
01:27:47,427 --> 01:27:48,855
star game in San Diego, I sat down

2485
01:27:48,855 --> 01:27:49,808
the love line.

2486
01:27:51,738 --> 01:27:53,336
By the Western Metals building,

2487
01:27:53,895 --> 01:27:56,132
and I watched at that point, he was

2488
01:27:56,132 --> 01:27:59,339
called Mike Stan, Miami Marlin. Kiosk crush home

2489
01:27:59,339 --> 01:28:01,403
run after home run I... I mean, it's

2490
01:28:01,403 --> 01:28:03,387
just phenomenal. But again, the, you know, the

2491
01:28:03,387 --> 01:28:04,737
throwing grapefruit foods up there or any had

2492
01:28:04,737 --> 01:28:07,294
a good good guy pitching, and he just

2493
01:28:07,294 --> 01:28:08,725
kept hitting and bombs. It was great for

2494
01:28:08,725 --> 01:28:11,032
the fans. But I mean, if I'm the

2495
01:28:11,032 --> 01:28:13,497
general manager of my team, I don't want

2496
01:28:13,576 --> 01:28:14,451
Manny Mach shot,

2497
01:28:15,103 --> 01:28:17,489
to suffer rib cage general b injury, trying

2498
01:28:17,489 --> 01:28:19,716
to ruin home on derby, and that's that's

2499
01:28:19,716 --> 01:28:21,148
a big issue. That's why they change their

2500
01:28:21,148 --> 01:28:21,307
rules.

2501
01:28:21,957 --> 01:28:25,073
Remember Josh Hamilton? Sure. That was a fantastic

2502
01:28:25,207 --> 01:28:26,475
display in the home run derby be probably

2503
01:28:26,475 --> 01:28:29,582
my favorite 1 ever. So is it... Is

2504
01:28:29,582 --> 01:28:31,726
it a gimmick? Yeah. Have they found something?

2505
01:28:32,123 --> 01:28:34,427
Yeah. It's cool. Now they need to structure

2506
01:28:34,427 --> 01:28:36,333
it for the safety of the players? Just

2507
01:28:36,333 --> 01:28:38,159
don't make it a great event for the

2508
01:28:38,159 --> 01:28:38,319
fans.

2509
01:28:39,049 --> 01:28:41,039

Are we gonna talk about your last weekend?

2531
01:29:31,110 --> 01:29:33,907
We can just... Briefly mention this. What I'd

2532
01:29:33,907 --> 01:29:34,145
recommend,

2533
01:29:34,861 --> 01:29:36,372
you go to my website,

2534
01:29:37,009 --> 01:29:39,973
read my column. My 1 man's opinion column

2535
01:29:40,603 --> 01:29:42,833
because it was a cross section of sports,

2536
01:29:43,470 --> 01:29:44,506
end society,

2537
01:29:45,144 --> 01:29:48,489
the assassination attempt on Trump, and then all

2538
01:29:48,489 --> 01:29:49,547
the finger pointing

2539
01:29:49,858 --> 01:29:52,578
and everything that developed on social media

2540
01:29:52,951 --> 01:29:55,410
in the last 48 to 72 hours. To

2541
01:29:55,410 --> 01:29:56,283
me, it's just... It's...

2542
01:29:57,013 --> 01:29:57,492
Horrible.

2543
01:29:58,050 --> 01:29:59,724
And I I hate where we are as

2544
01:29:59,724 --> 01:30:03,493
a society. I hate what politics has now

2545
01:30:03,551 --> 01:30:05,487
become the focal point

2546
01:30:05,878 --> 01:30:08,022
trigger point for all the stuff that is

2547
01:30:08,022 --> 01:30:10,484
happening. I was really sad over the entire

2548
01:30:10,484 --> 01:30:13,104
weekend by what I saw. John read My

2549
01:30:13,104 --> 01:30:13,342
column,

2550
01:30:14,152 --> 01:30:16,300
John a sports fan. I'll let John give

2551
01:30:16,300 --> 01:30:18,448
you a reaction? Was I right? Or was

2552
01:30:18,528 --> 01:30:19,880
I full of crap and wrong for doing

2553
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:21,868
it. It was a great article, and and

2554
01:30:21,868 --> 01:30:24,190
you you mixed in all of the major

2555
01:30:24,190 --> 01:30:26,259
sports things that are going on, you with

2556
01:30:26,259 --> 01:30:28,724
a soccer and Wimbledon and baseball, everything else.

2557
01:30:29,361 --> 01:30:31,771
Within a lot of the political news of

2558
01:30:31,771 --> 01:30:34,088
the day, and I I really enjoyed it.

2559
01:30:34,248 --> 01:30:35,527
I mean, because it was a blending of

2560
01:30:35,527 --> 01:30:37,135
the 2. Now, there's a lot of fans

2561
01:30:37,135 --> 01:30:38,641
out there that don't like it when Hacks

2562
01:30:38,641 --> 01:30:40,545
saw talks politics. So you're gonna piss off

2563
01:30:40,545 --> 01:30:42,607
some people. You're gonna make some friends, but

2564
01:30:42,765 --> 01:30:44,034
I think it's a really good article that

2565
01:30:44,034 --> 01:30:45,555
everyone should read. Thank you. Just go to

2566
