YouTube channel, which is quite often, even sometimes

72
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:55,460
John does stuff in the middle of the

73
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,540
night. We got a lot of topics to

74
00:02:57,540 --> 00:03:00,104
talk about, John. Let's start with baseball.

75
00:03:00,644 --> 00:03:02,724
Baseball. Padres had a heck of a a

76
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:04,564
road trip, Lee. I mean, I'm I'm feeling

77
00:03:04,564 --> 00:03:07,604
encouraged about this team. Roadie. Holy cow. They

78
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:10,260
go 7 and 2 in what I thought

79
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:12,819
had to be a must win series road

80
00:03:12,819 --> 00:03:13,319
trip.

81
00:03:13,699 --> 00:03:14,599
Went to Cleveland,

82
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:16,199
beat the Guardians,

83
00:03:17,094 --> 00:03:17,995
went to Washington,

84
00:03:18,455 --> 00:03:21,814
swept the rebuilding nationals, went into Baltimore and

85
00:03:21,814 --> 00:03:23,974
punched the Orioles in first place in the

86
00:03:23,974 --> 00:03:26,389
mouth. They go 7 and 2.

87
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:29,250
Like, Dada got it done with dominance starting

88
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:31,330
pitching. Of course, there was the Dylan c

89
00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:33,375
snow hitter right in the midst of all

90
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,395
that. They got it done with timely hitting.

91
00:03:35,775 --> 00:03:38,094
Xander Bogart comes off the disabled list, had

92
00:03:38,094 --> 00:03:40,495
a 2 12 batting average when he went

93
00:03:40,495 --> 00:03:43,419
on. He's now hitting 2 72. He hit

94
00:03:43,419 --> 00:03:44,400
almost 500

95
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:47,580
since coming off the deal, so that was

96
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:48,719
really impressive.

97
00:03:49,175 --> 00:03:50,955
I think the Padres showed

98
00:03:51,335 --> 00:03:54,375
that 1st place Cleveland, 1st place Baltimore are

99
00:03:54,375 --> 00:03:55,915
not complete baseball teams.

100
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,139
Cleveland doesn't have a lot of power hitting

101
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,020
around

102
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:02,219
their their one big bat.

103
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,500
Baltimore played really sloppy defense.

104
00:04:05,925 --> 00:04:07,764
Baltimore left a lot of guys on base.

105
00:04:07,764 --> 00:04:09,384
Baltimore looks a little threadbare

106
00:04:09,764 --> 00:04:11,544
in the pitching staff. So the Padres

107
00:04:12,164 --> 00:04:14,724
hit those guys at the absolute right time.

108
00:04:14,724 --> 00:04:15,025
I thought both Cleveland and Baltimore really look

109
00:04:15,025 --> 00:04:15,990
like tired baseball teams in the series. And

110
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:19,269
Baltimore really look like tired baseball teams in

111
00:04:19,269 --> 00:04:21,769
the series they played against the Friars.

112
00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:24,470
So the Padres come home. They take a

113
00:04:24,470 --> 00:04:25,370
deep breath.

114
00:04:25,944 --> 00:04:28,365
What's that ringing in your ears right now?

115
00:04:28,425 --> 00:04:30,604
If I close my eyes, I hear ringing.

116
00:04:30,824 --> 00:04:31,324
Tinnitus.

117
00:04:31,865 --> 00:04:34,540
Beat LA. Beat LA. Beat LA. Okay. Here

118
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:37,040
we go. Yeah. Padres Dodgers Tuesday,

119
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:39,500
Wednesday, and we're gonna see the aces of

120
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,500
the staffs. I mean, Glass now is gonna

121
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:44,095
start. Dylan Cease is gonna start in one

122
00:04:44,095 --> 00:04:46,014
of the games in this series. So this

123
00:04:46,014 --> 00:04:48,735
is gonna be fun. And here's the bigger

124
00:04:48,735 --> 00:04:49,235
story.

125
00:04:50,089 --> 00:04:52,269
When they get through Wednesday night,

126
00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:54,110
the next 15

127
00:04:54,970 --> 00:04:57,389
are against the Rockies, the Marlins,

128
00:04:58,014 --> 00:04:58,834
and the Pirates.

129
00:04:59,615 --> 00:05:00,995
15 in a row

130
00:05:01,454 --> 00:05:03,774
against the bulk of the bottom feeders in

131
00:05:03,774 --> 00:05:04,274
baseball.

132
00:05:04,735 --> 00:05:05,394
I mean,

133
00:05:06,009 --> 00:05:08,009
if they're gonna force their way into 1st

134
00:05:08,009 --> 00:05:10,250
place in a pennant race, now is the

135
00:05:10,250 --> 00:05:11,770
time to do it. So we'll see if

136
00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:14,009
they can beat the Dodgers Tuesday, Wednesday, and

137
00:05:14,009 --> 00:05:15,470
then they play 15

138
00:05:15,914 --> 00:05:18,574
against the Dregs in the National League.

139
00:05:19,035 --> 00:05:20,014
Gonna be fascinating.

140
00:05:20,475 --> 00:05:21,914
John, give me a quick response what you

141
00:05:21,914 --> 00:05:23,830
saw on the road trip, and do subscribe

142
00:05:23,889 --> 00:05:25,410
that my ears are ring or your ears

143
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:27,170
ringing? Go ahead. Yeah. My ears are ringing

144
00:05:27,170 --> 00:05:29,569
already. Yeah. What a great road trip. You

145
00:05:29,569 --> 00:05:31,634
know, 2 out 3 Cleveland, they swept to

146
00:05:31,634 --> 00:05:33,714
the Ashills, got the no hitter, 2 out

147
00:05:33,714 --> 00:05:34,774
of 3 in Baltimore.

148
00:05:35,154 --> 00:05:37,235
And and, you know, we all give crap

149
00:05:37,235 --> 00:05:38,855
to Mike Shilton how,

150
00:05:39,209 --> 00:05:41,290
you know, how forthcoming and honest is he

151
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:43,129
really in those press conferences. But he used

152
00:05:43,129 --> 00:05:45,129
to always say, hey, I love my guys.

153
00:05:45,129 --> 00:05:47,495
They've got fight. They never give up. And

154
00:05:47,495 --> 00:05:49,735
we saw that on Sunday, you know, the

155
00:05:49,735 --> 00:05:52,214
way they clawed back, you know. So you've

156
00:05:52,214 --> 00:05:54,935
gotta be encouraged here about how they're playing,

157
00:05:54,935 --> 00:05:57,410
but I'll tell you what, facing the Rockies

158
00:05:57,470 --> 00:05:59,550
scares me. I mean, that's when they usually

159
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:01,470
screw it up. That's when they usually lose

160
00:06:01,470 --> 00:06:02,990
3 out of 4 and it drives us

161
00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:05,425
mad. So there we are. The schedule is

162
00:06:05,425 --> 00:06:06,785
right there in front of them. When I

163
00:06:06,785 --> 00:06:07,524
saw that,

164
00:06:08,225 --> 00:06:12,250
I said, holy cow. 15 straight Miami, Colorado,

165
00:06:12,470 --> 00:06:14,149
Pittsburgh, and then they go on the road

166
00:06:14,149 --> 00:06:15,370
and play the same guys.

167
00:06:16,069 --> 00:06:16,970
Great opportunity

168
00:06:17,894 --> 00:06:19,514
to go after 1st place.

169
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:22,935
Baseball trade deadline is upon us. The Padres

170
00:06:22,935 --> 00:06:24,314
make the first deal.

171
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:27,629
I like the deal, but I don't like

172
00:06:27,629 --> 00:06:29,870
the deal. And I know there's counseling for

173
00:06:29,870 --> 00:06:30,930
my bi bipolar

174
00:06:31,710 --> 00:06:34,370
attributes here. They get Jason Adams,

175
00:06:34,785 --> 00:06:38,305
32 year old relief pitcher who's reinvented himself

176
00:06:38,305 --> 00:06:39,365
in Tampa Bay,

177
00:06:39,665 --> 00:06:41,824
had bounced around, and factually had been with

178
00:06:41,824 --> 00:06:43,925
the Padres for a brief period of time,

179
00:06:44,379 --> 00:06:47,360
found himself, got healthy, developed extra pitches.

180
00:06:47,819 --> 00:06:49,420
But in the process, they give up the

181
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:51,259
number one draft pick from a year and

182
00:06:51,259 --> 00:06:53,520
a half ago, Dylan Lusko, pitcher.

183
00:06:53,964 --> 00:06:56,365
They give up Homer Bush, 2nd round draft

184
00:06:56,365 --> 00:06:59,084
pick last year. They give up another, JD

185
00:06:59,084 --> 00:06:59,584
Gonzalez,

186
00:07:00,125 --> 00:07:02,610
a young developing catcher. Now granted all these

187
00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:04,069
guys are in the lower minors.

188
00:07:04,529 --> 00:07:06,449
The problem I have is this is this

189
00:07:06,449 --> 00:07:07,189
is typical

190
00:07:07,569 --> 00:07:08,550
AJ Preller.

191
00:07:09,245 --> 00:07:11,105
He paid nearly 5,000,000

192
00:07:12,204 --> 00:07:13,665
above signing bonus

193
00:07:14,044 --> 00:07:14,544
money

194
00:07:15,084 --> 00:07:17,379
to get Dylan Lasko coming out of high

195
00:07:17,379 --> 00:07:19,560
school, coming off elbow surgery. Mhmm.

196
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:21,000
He paid,

197
00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:23,319
I wanna say almost a1000000

198
00:07:24,185 --> 00:07:26,345
to get Homer Bush, 2nd round draft pick.

199
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:27,944
Rather than have the kid go to college,

200
00:07:27,944 --> 00:07:30,105
they signed him. And then they signed JD

201
00:07:30,105 --> 00:07:32,204
Gonzalez to, I wanna say, $800,000

202
00:07:33,144 --> 00:07:33,644
package.

203
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:36,060
So in essence, he he spent

204
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000
$6,000,000 for those 3 hot prospects at the

205
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,680
top of the draft boards 2 years in

206
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,259
a row,

207
00:07:41,625 --> 00:07:43,944
and he bailed on them a year and

208
00:07:43,944 --> 00:07:46,845
a half into their careers. He did that

209
00:07:47,384 --> 00:07:49,564
to get a 32 year old pitcher,

210
00:07:50,129 --> 00:07:53,189
who's had 2 decent years in Tampa Bay.

211
00:07:53,410 --> 00:07:55,649
It's just typical the way he does his

212
00:07:55,649 --> 00:07:56,709
business. Overpays,

213
00:07:57,490 --> 00:07:58,230
get them,

214
00:07:58,634 --> 00:07:59,134
trade

215
00:07:59,435 --> 00:08:00,735
them, takes on age.

216
00:08:01,595 --> 00:08:03,995
They needed relief pitching. So we'll see what

217
00:08:03,995 --> 00:08:05,914
Jason Adams is gonna be like in San

218
00:08:05,914 --> 00:08:08,095
Diego. I tend to think he's pretty competitive

219
00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:10,300
and he'll be a good setup guy with

220
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,220
all the other guys that they've kinda latched

221
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:14,220
on to now to get him to Robert

222
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,060
Suarez. Let me let me just comment on

223
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:17,714
that trade for a minute. Alright. When I

224
00:08:17,714 --> 00:08:19,394
when I heard the name, I went, who

225
00:08:19,394 --> 00:08:21,795
who is this guy? And, yeah, he's had

226
00:08:21,795 --> 00:08:23,955
better than decent seasons. He's been pitching with,

227
00:08:23,955 --> 00:08:25,415
like, a 2 and a half ERA,

228
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,339
high leverage, and that's exactly what they need.

229
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,199
Now, yeah, they gave up Lesko, and they

230
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:32,720
gave the big up the big bonus for

231
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,200
Lesko, but he wasn't performing very well. He's

232
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,184
a kid. But he's a kid, but he's

233
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:38,725
still coming off the surgery.

234
00:08:39,264 --> 00:08:41,504
I like how AJ is going for it,

235
00:08:41,504 --> 00:08:43,664
you know, and he's getting pieces we need

236
00:08:43,664 --> 00:08:45,970
and trying to capitalize on this window. And

237
00:08:45,970 --> 00:08:47,490
you're the one that always says he's got

238
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:49,490
boots on the ground, so he could go

239
00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:52,210
and just restock and reload. I mean, so

240
00:08:52,210 --> 00:08:55,225
he's just moving currency around. I love kind

241
00:08:55,225 --> 00:08:56,044
of the swashbuckling

242
00:08:56,424 --> 00:08:58,264
AJ Preller. And you know what? He's not

243
00:08:58,264 --> 00:09:00,105
done. He's gonna get at least a starter,

244
00:09:00,105 --> 00:09:01,784
I bet you, before the deadline. He has

245
00:09:01,784 --> 00:09:04,240
now traded 9 prospects this year. 9 of

246
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,500
the top 12 players in the farm system.

247
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,879
He has traded to go get Dylan Cease,

248
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:11,040
to go get Luis Arise, and now to

249
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,514
get Jason Adam. But

250
00:09:13,154 --> 00:09:14,514
well, look at those guys. You got a

251
00:09:14,514 --> 00:09:16,115
no hitter. You got an all star. I

252
00:09:16,115 --> 00:09:18,754
mean, that's that's good return on investment. I

253
00:09:18,754 --> 00:09:20,054
guess part of me says

254
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,420
he knows what he needs on the roster,

255
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,960
so he overpays to get what he needs

256
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,500
to fill the hole on the roster.

257
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,674
Better win. Better be in the playoffs this

258
00:09:29,674 --> 00:09:31,274
year or next year, because there is no

259
00:09:31,274 --> 00:09:34,174
future. There is no Padre future at all.

260
00:09:34,475 --> 00:09:36,250
Because a year from now, a year and

261
00:09:36,250 --> 00:09:38,129
a half from now, when we're doing this

262
00:09:38,129 --> 00:09:38,629
podcast,

263
00:09:39,409 --> 00:09:41,570
he'll have a roster on the other side

264
00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:42,389
of 3435

265
00:09:43,009 --> 00:09:44,929
year olds with long term contracts and no

266
00:09:44,929 --> 00:09:47,714
farm system to replace anybody. Oh, he'll keep

267
00:09:47,714 --> 00:09:50,195
reloading, Lee. Okay. If you say something. I

268
00:09:50,195 --> 00:09:51,575
wanna ask you a pointed question.

269
00:09:52,274 --> 00:09:54,769
Yu Darvish, he he talks to Darvish every

270
00:09:54,769 --> 00:09:56,789
second or third day back in Japan.

271
00:09:57,649 --> 00:09:59,809
They discuss when he might return, if he

272
00:09:59,809 --> 00:10:00,549
will return.

273
00:10:01,384 --> 00:10:03,625
He says, Darvish will tell him when he's

274
00:10:03,625 --> 00:10:05,465
ready to come back to baseball, if he

275
00:10:05,465 --> 00:10:06,925
wants to come back to baseball.

276
00:10:07,465 --> 00:10:09,644
I guess the burning question I have,

277
00:10:10,539 --> 00:10:12,639
do the Padres owe it to the fans

278
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,940
and to the media to explain what has

279
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:17,360
happened to Darvish, or is it a personal

280
00:10:17,899 --> 00:10:20,394
family matter? And I bring that up because

281
00:10:20,394 --> 00:10:21,935
it is a personal family

282
00:10:22,394 --> 00:10:23,774
off the field matter,

283
00:10:24,315 --> 00:10:26,254
but it's costing the team $7,000,000

284
00:10:26,875 --> 00:10:28,795
in salary and it's costing the team a

285
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:29,855
frontline pitcher

286
00:10:30,269 --> 00:10:32,110
and the most important part of the season

287
00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:34,350
as they try to fight to get into

288
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:36,269
a pennant race. So that's a big issue,

289
00:10:36,269 --> 00:10:38,690
or is it Yu Darvish's story to tell?

290
00:10:39,044 --> 00:10:41,365
Joe Musgrove is going to throw his sim

291
00:10:41,365 --> 00:10:43,705
game in Arizona on Tuesday.

292
00:10:44,085 --> 00:10:46,725
He's gonna throw 2 innings against Seattle minor

293
00:10:46,725 --> 00:10:49,269
leaguers in their summer league camp.

294
00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:52,450
He'll throw 20 or 30 pitches, rest for

295
00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:54,049
8 to 10 minutes, come back and try

296
00:10:54,049 --> 00:10:56,290
to throw a second inning to gauge where

297
00:10:56,290 --> 00:10:58,485
he is. He's gonna have to make rehab

298
00:10:58,485 --> 00:11:00,745
starts if he gets through this next one.

299
00:11:00,884 --> 00:11:02,965
So your response to Darvish, how it should

300
00:11:02,965 --> 00:11:04,965
be handled, is it being handled correctly, what

301
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:06,485
do they owe the fans, what do they

302
00:11:06,485 --> 00:11:07,440
owe us the media?

303
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:09,040
And your thoughts on Musgrove.

304
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:12,620
The the Padres don't owe an explanation for

305
00:11:12,620 --> 00:11:14,800
you, Darvish. Not any explanation.

306
00:11:15,254 --> 00:11:17,014
It's just a you, Darvish thing. It's up

307
00:11:17,014 --> 00:11:18,855
to you, Darvish, to disclose that sort of

308
00:11:18,855 --> 00:11:20,855
matter. So I I think the Padres are

309
00:11:20,855 --> 00:11:22,934
handling this like a first class operation. You

310
00:11:22,934 --> 00:11:25,070
know? This is terrific, The way they're managing

311
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:26,769
it. And, oh, by the way,

312
00:11:27,149 --> 00:11:29,789
Darvish isn't getting paid, which opens up a

313
00:11:29,789 --> 00:11:31,549
little bit of a gap, you know, that

314
00:11:31,549 --> 00:11:33,970
they can use during this trade deadline situation.

315
00:11:34,414 --> 00:11:35,774
You know, Hart goes out to the guy.

316
00:11:35,774 --> 00:11:38,495
There's rumors, innuendo about what's going on, but

317
00:11:38,495 --> 00:11:40,115
is it gonna change my opinion

318
00:11:40,495 --> 00:11:42,434
of the team if I find out it's

319
00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:45,840
a family issue, a medical issue, something else?

320
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,460
I mean, it doesn't really matter.

321
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Musgrove, I'm encouraged by. I mean, if he

322
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,934
can come back sometime in August,

323
00:11:52,335 --> 00:11:52,914
wow. I mean,

324
00:11:53,774 --> 00:11:54,274
cease,

325
00:11:56,254 --> 00:11:56,754
Musgrove,

326
00:11:57,294 --> 00:11:57,794
Waldron,

327
00:11:58,254 --> 00:11:58,754
King.

328
00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:01,339
That's looking pretty good.

329
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,220
Okay.

330
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,839
So we go from all things Padre Baseball.

331
00:12:04,839 --> 00:12:06,139
And if you have an opinion,

332
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,625
thumbs up, thumbs down,

333
00:12:08,925 --> 00:12:11,024
the price paid to go get

334
00:12:11,644 --> 00:12:14,205
Jason Adam from Tampa Bay to be part

335
00:12:14,205 --> 00:12:15,024
of the bullpen.

336
00:12:15,610 --> 00:12:17,850
We go from that to the next team,

337
00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:20,429
the next topic on the table. The Dodgers.

338
00:12:20,809 --> 00:12:23,129
Man, they're wheeling and dealing, Lee. 1st place

339
00:12:23,129 --> 00:12:23,629
Dodgers.

340
00:12:24,335 --> 00:12:24,835
Interesting

341
00:12:25,215 --> 00:12:25,715
Monday.

342
00:12:26,335 --> 00:12:28,735
1st big trade for the Dodgers. Another trade

343
00:12:28,735 --> 00:12:30,654
maybe to come. We'll detail that in a

344
00:12:30,654 --> 00:12:31,154
minute.

345
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,000
This injury situation just goes on and on

346
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:35,740
and on.

347
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,839
That had 17 pitchers on the disabled list

348
00:12:38,839 --> 00:12:39,500
this season.

349
00:12:40,184 --> 00:12:42,345
Max Muncy, I don't think is gonna play

350
00:12:42,345 --> 00:12:43,404
the rest of the year.

351
00:12:43,784 --> 00:12:45,485
He may have a torn oblique.

352
00:12:45,865 --> 00:12:47,784
He does not feel right. He's been on

353
00:12:47,784 --> 00:12:49,769
the disabled list since early spring.

354
00:12:50,250 --> 00:12:52,570
He can't do any baseball related stuff because

355
00:12:52,570 --> 00:12:53,470
of this oblique.

356
00:12:54,490 --> 00:12:57,290
Betts is flexing his hand finally, but he's

357
00:12:57,290 --> 00:12:59,389
gotta go through the whole thing of swings,

358
00:13:00,115 --> 00:13:01,095
catching balls,

359
00:13:01,715 --> 00:13:03,095
and see if there's any reaction.

360
00:13:03,475 --> 00:13:04,375
Walker Buehler,

361
00:13:04,915 --> 00:13:08,035
first rehab assignment Oklahoma City didn't go real

362
00:13:08,035 --> 00:13:10,909
well for innings, 4 runs, 8 hits clocked

363
00:13:10,909 --> 00:13:11,649
at 93,

364
00:13:12,429 --> 00:13:14,610
but his location was all over the place.

365
00:13:14,909 --> 00:13:17,730
Good news on Bruisedar, Greaterall, and Michael Grove,

366
00:13:18,044 --> 00:13:18,544
They've

367
00:13:19,164 --> 00:13:22,044
pitched 6 different outings in Oklahoma City, 1

368
00:13:22,044 --> 00:13:24,464
inning each time, 6 innings combined,

369
00:13:24,924 --> 00:13:26,764
no runs allowed. 1 of them might be

370
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:29,200
back. They need somebody back because the damn

371
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,340
bullpen is imploding.

372
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,160
I don't know if what you saw what

373
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,320
happened this past week with Evan Phillip, their

374
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,139
quote, closer.

375
00:13:36,384 --> 00:13:37,205
Four outings

376
00:13:37,585 --> 00:13:39,985
lasted 3 innings, gave up 6 runs, 9

377
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,105
hits. All of a sudden, he can't get

378
00:13:41,105 --> 00:13:43,665
anybody out, and this guy was nails for

379
00:13:43,665 --> 00:13:45,779
a chunk of time. And then Plaigtrianon,

380
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Daniel Hudson, who was supposed to be the

381
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,559
setup guys, they got shoved into the closer

382
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,480
row because Evan Phillip couldn't be trusted. They

383
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,795
got lit up. So the Dodgers have had

384
00:13:54,795 --> 00:13:55,455
a really

385
00:13:55,915 --> 00:13:56,894
rocky week.

386
00:13:57,514 --> 00:13:58,014
Trades,

387
00:13:58,394 --> 00:13:59,215
big trade.

388
00:13:59,595 --> 00:14:02,394
Dodgers just made an 8 player trade with

389
00:14:02,394 --> 00:14:04,399
the White Sox and the cardinals.

390
00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:06,639
The dodgers wind up getting

391
00:14:07,899 --> 00:14:10,700
2nd basement center fielder Tommy Edmond of Saint

392
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:11,200
Louis,

393
00:14:11,605 --> 00:14:13,945
and they wind up getting Michael Kopeck,

394
00:14:14,804 --> 00:14:17,365
set up long relief guy, part time starter

395
00:14:17,365 --> 00:14:18,424
from the white sox,

396
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:21,089
but they give up their young infielder, outfielder

397
00:14:21,089 --> 00:14:23,269
Miguel Vargas, and they give up 3

398
00:14:23,970 --> 00:14:24,470
lower

399
00:14:25,089 --> 00:14:27,649
rookie league a ball players, all having good

400
00:14:27,649 --> 00:14:29,785
seasons in the minors. So the Dodgers,

401
00:14:30,165 --> 00:14:33,044
they paid a significant price. And John Ryway

402
00:14:33,044 --> 00:14:35,519
from left field talks dodger blue baseball. The

403
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,360
the dodgers, you know, on one level, you

404
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,200
think, oh, these guys are world beaters. They

405
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,759
have unlimited money. They got Shohei and Mookie

406
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,160
and Freddie, and they're rolling, and then you

407
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,625
realize that they're not, you know, as tough

408
00:14:46,625 --> 00:14:49,264
as you think. They're not bulletproof. Exactly. They've

409
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:51,684
got an Achilles heel. They're they have weaknesses

410
00:14:52,384 --> 00:14:54,644
just like any team in baseball. So

411
00:14:55,024 --> 00:14:58,149
this to me is intriguing and because what's

412
00:14:58,610 --> 00:15:00,690
the what's the distance between the Padres and

413
00:15:00,690 --> 00:15:03,105
Dodgers? Like, 6a half. Right now, 6a half.

414
00:15:03,184 --> 00:15:04,865
Could be down to 4a half by Wednesday

415
00:15:04,865 --> 00:15:06,625
morning breakfast, but it could be 8a half

416
00:15:06,625 --> 00:15:08,865
by Wednesday morning. Exactly. Yeah. So, you know,

417
00:15:08,865 --> 00:15:11,105
in this this series, by the way, Dodgers,

418
00:15:11,105 --> 00:15:13,090
Padres, is it in LA or San Diego?

419
00:15:13,649 --> 00:15:16,690
San Diego. Petco. Petco. No. Beat LA. Beat

420
00:15:16,690 --> 00:15:19,330
LA. Oh, yeah. Duh. Of course. Okay. So

421
00:15:19,330 --> 00:15:20,850
this is gonna be a great series, you

422
00:15:20,850 --> 00:15:23,004
know. And then Bruce star graderol, that guy,

423
00:15:23,004 --> 00:15:24,924
man, he's always doing this, looking up, and

424
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:27,164
he's trying to, like, get into some squawking

425
00:15:27,164 --> 00:15:29,620
matches with Machado. That guy is just full

426
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:31,139
of it, you know, but we'll see him

427
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:33,059
again when it gets into the, you know,

428
00:15:33,059 --> 00:15:34,500
the end of the season for sure. So

429
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,259
that's where we are with the Dodgers. You're

430
00:15:36,259 --> 00:15:38,179
a dodger fan. Do you like what they

431
00:15:38,179 --> 00:15:39,080
just executed?

432
00:15:39,514 --> 00:15:41,274
And everybody of the opinion, there is a

433
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:43,615
second deal coming involving this team.

434
00:15:44,394 --> 00:15:46,954
Injuries. Man, what a bad weekend of something

435
00:15:46,954 --> 00:15:49,299
real significant. Let's start first of all with

436
00:15:49,299 --> 00:15:49,960
the Angels.

437
00:15:50,820 --> 00:15:52,899
Mike Trout got shut down after the first

438
00:15:52,899 --> 00:15:55,220
two innings of his comeback from the scope

439
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:56,679
knee surgery for the meniscus.

440
00:15:57,404 --> 00:15:59,725
Mike Trout has not been able to run

441
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:02,384
or swelling back in the knee again. Now

442
00:16:02,684 --> 00:16:05,245
there's nothing torn. They did an MRI. It

443
00:16:05,245 --> 00:16:07,779
is scar tissue. And the only way he's

444
00:16:07,779 --> 00:16:08,279
gonna

445
00:16:08,660 --> 00:16:11,379
get through that is he's gotta have movement,

446
00:16:11,379 --> 00:16:13,300
and he's gotta have the ability to run,

447
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:14,820
and he's gotta be able to move side

448
00:16:14,820 --> 00:16:16,754
to side, but he's not been able to

449
00:16:16,754 --> 00:16:18,274
do it since they shut him down after

450
00:16:18,274 --> 00:16:20,514
the 2 winnings in Salt Lake City. So

451
00:16:20,514 --> 00:16:22,375
that's another setback for Mike Trout.

452
00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:25,370
Really bad story with the White Sox, Mike

453
00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:25,870
Clevenger

454
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:28,430
gone rest of the year,

455
00:16:28,889 --> 00:16:30,590
major neck surgery,

456
00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:34,075
disc damage in his neck for Clevenger.

457
00:16:34,774 --> 00:16:37,334
His career has really unraveled. He hadn't been

458
00:16:37,334 --> 00:16:38,954
the same guy since he got here,

459
00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:42,160
from Cleveland, and they had multiple injuries here.

460
00:16:42,299 --> 00:16:44,460
So that's tough news there. And worst news

461
00:16:44,460 --> 00:16:45,899
for the Mets who are playing really good

462
00:16:45,899 --> 00:16:46,399
ball,

463
00:16:46,804 --> 00:16:49,284
Kodai Singa from Japan who came here last

464
00:16:49,284 --> 00:16:51,605
year and pitched really well. He got hurt

465
00:16:51,605 --> 00:16:53,524
in spring training with a lat injury in

466
00:16:53,524 --> 00:16:55,909
a shoulder. He did all the rehab, and

467
00:16:55,909 --> 00:16:57,750
he's been out since February. Did all the

468
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:59,370
rehab till last week of July,

469
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:00,250
successful

470
00:17:00,629 --> 00:17:01,529
on the mound,

471
00:17:01,830 --> 00:17:04,169
tears a calf in his first

472
00:17:05,115 --> 00:17:06,714
start, gone for the rest of the year.

473
00:17:06,714 --> 00:17:08,394
My god. Big blow for the Mets. So

474
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:09,674
you talk about a guy that's been out

475
00:17:09,674 --> 00:17:10,894
and did everything religiously,

476
00:17:11,369 --> 00:17:13,450
goes out and throws maybe 24 pitches and

477
00:17:13,450 --> 00:17:14,829
goes down with a calf injury,

478
00:17:15,130 --> 00:17:16,829
not not good news at all. But

479
00:17:17,130 --> 00:17:20,075
poor Mike Trout, he just can't get healthy,

480
00:17:20,075 --> 00:17:22,414
stay healthy, and now there's setback. But luckily,

481
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:25,034
there's no more meniscus damage. This is just

482
00:17:25,034 --> 00:17:26,794
scar tissue and takes time to work through

483
00:17:26,794 --> 00:17:28,575
scar tissue, but you gotta work through it.

484
00:17:29,099 --> 00:17:31,019
This is insane. I mean, the amount of

485
00:17:31,019 --> 00:17:33,339
injuries he's had for all this time. I

486
00:17:33,339 --> 00:17:35,500
mean, there's been NFL and NBA players that

487
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:37,075
always seems to be injury prone. I think

488
00:17:37,075 --> 00:17:39,315
a Chad Pennington maybe, you know, who was

489
00:17:39,315 --> 00:17:41,714
hurt a lot. But I saw this video

490
00:17:41,714 --> 00:17:43,714
on Twitter, and it was about some guy

491
00:17:43,714 --> 00:17:46,750
just going off about Trout saying it's incredible

492
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:49,069
he's never won a gold glove, which I

493
00:17:49,069 --> 00:17:50,910
didn't realize that he hadn't. And it showed

494
00:17:50,910 --> 00:17:52,884
this video clip of him robbing a home

495
00:17:52,884 --> 00:17:55,365
run over the center field fence, and dude's

496
00:17:55,365 --> 00:17:57,444
got hops, man. He got way up there.

497
00:17:57,444 --> 00:17:59,470
And I I mean, that guy, Trout is

498
00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:01,390
a stud athlete, but it just seems as

499
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:04,190
fans, we're being robbed of the opportunity because

500
00:18:04,190 --> 00:18:05,869
not only is he hurt, but he's playing

501
00:18:05,869 --> 00:18:07,470
for the darn angels, and we don't ever

502
00:18:07,470 --> 00:18:09,464
get to see him. He runs in defenses,

503
00:18:09,525 --> 00:18:12,085
and he's had some flukish injuries. Yeah. I

504
00:18:12,085 --> 00:18:12,585
mean,

505
00:18:13,045 --> 00:18:16,099
Achilles and calf and knee and getting hit

506
00:18:16,099 --> 00:18:18,099
by pitches on the hand. They're just real

507
00:18:18,099 --> 00:18:20,980
fluke stuff, and it's it's tough. Okay. So

508
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:21,880
we go from

509
00:18:22,259 --> 00:18:23,319
baseball injuries

510
00:18:23,974 --> 00:18:26,134
to what everybody in baseball's talking about at

511
00:18:26,134 --> 00:18:28,934
least through tomorrow afternoon. Yeah. The trade deadline.

512
00:18:28,934 --> 00:18:31,835
Look at these logos, Lee. 23 trades

513
00:18:32,455 --> 00:18:33,275
so far

514
00:18:33,789 --> 00:18:36,190
since Friday. Let's just run through the hot

515
00:18:36,190 --> 00:18:38,529
names. I just told you about the Dodgers.

516
00:18:38,830 --> 00:18:40,830
Dodgers make a three way trade with the

517
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:41,330
Cardinals

518
00:18:41,654 --> 00:18:43,894
and the White Sox. The Dodgers get a

519
00:18:43,894 --> 00:18:45,974
really good I hate to use the word

520
00:18:45,974 --> 00:18:48,134
super utility man because that means he can't

521
00:18:48,134 --> 00:18:50,609
play, but he can play. Tommy Edmond can

522
00:18:50,609 --> 00:18:53,490
play 2nd, short, 3rd, and center. Yeah. He

523
00:18:53,490 --> 00:18:54,630
solves a lot of

524
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:57,269
issues for the dodgers. Lifetime 264

525
00:18:57,650 --> 00:18:59,855
career hitter. I think you said about 58

526
00:18:59,855 --> 00:19:01,055
home runs, so you got a little pop

527
00:19:01,055 --> 00:19:03,295
in the bat. They also got Michael Kopeck,

528
00:19:03,295 --> 00:19:05,214
who at one point was a really good

529
00:19:05,214 --> 00:19:06,894
starter with the white sox. They moved him

530
00:19:06,894 --> 00:19:07,795
into the bullpen,

531
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,880
and he's kinda scuffled a bit as a

532
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,200
long reliever, but that's a bad situation in

533
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,579
Chicago. What's her record?

534
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:14,539
2789,

535
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:17,335
I think. And I think he's 28. Yeah.

536
00:19:17,335 --> 00:19:20,134
28, but he's been pretty competitive now. If

537
00:19:20,134 --> 00:19:22,375
he pitching for the dodgers, he'll have runs,

538
00:19:22,375 --> 00:19:24,740
and maybe maybe he'll do better. But that

539
00:19:24,819 --> 00:19:27,539
that's the first significant deal the Dodgers have

540
00:19:27,539 --> 00:19:28,039
made.

541
00:19:28,339 --> 00:19:30,019
So the thing is, is Kopech Cohen go

542
00:19:30,019 --> 00:19:31,835
back to be being in the rotation, or

543
00:19:31,914 --> 00:19:33,194
is gonna be part of this bull pen

544
00:19:33,194 --> 00:19:34,714
brigade to try to put out all these

545
00:19:34,714 --> 00:19:37,294
fires that Evan Phillips and the other guys

546
00:19:37,515 --> 00:19:39,434
have committed? Now they give up Vargas, who's

547
00:19:39,434 --> 00:19:41,400
a bright young guy, and they give up

548
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,920
3 kids. I went back and looked at

549
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,759
the records of the 3 kids in the

550
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:46,279
rookie league and class say they're good, but

551
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,440
they're prospects and they're 18 19 years of

552
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,244
age. So the Dodgers get 2 pennant race

553
00:19:51,304 --> 00:19:51,804
contributors

554
00:19:52,424 --> 00:19:53,724
and they still have

555
00:19:54,105 --> 00:19:55,484
the guys they can trade.

556
00:19:55,785 --> 00:19:57,164
They still have Outman

557
00:19:57,579 --> 00:19:58,400
in the outfield.

558
00:19:58,859 --> 00:20:01,420
They still have young pitching at Oklahoma City

559
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:03,259
and there just seem to be deep and

560
00:20:03,259 --> 00:20:05,420
deep and deep of guys they can use

561
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:07,454
as trade bait if they want. So it's

562
00:20:07,454 --> 00:20:09,315
it's kinda fascinating to me,

563
00:20:09,615 --> 00:20:11,615
that the Dodgers continue to make deals, but

564
00:20:11,615 --> 00:20:14,595
still have their their marquee guys. The cardinals

565
00:20:15,054 --> 00:20:18,000
get Eric Fedde, who reinvented himself when he

566
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,140
pitched over in Korea,

567
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,359
has come back. He was a former Washington

568
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:21,859
national.

569
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,640
Fedde comes to the cardinals now, becomes one

570
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,765
of their 4 top starters. He's had a

571
00:20:26,765 --> 00:20:29,024
really good season and a bad situation,

572
00:20:29,644 --> 00:20:30,784
with the white sox.

573
00:20:31,565 --> 00:20:32,544
Over the weekend,

574
00:20:33,005 --> 00:20:33,825
big trade.

575
00:20:34,289 --> 00:20:37,269
Philadelphia Phillies get closer. Carlos Estevez,

576
00:20:37,730 --> 00:20:40,529
Angels had 20 saves and 23 ops. Really

577
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:42,150
good ERA. Good guy.

578
00:20:42,654 --> 00:20:45,295
Good clubhouse guy. They give up 2 of

579
00:20:45,295 --> 00:20:46,994
their top minor league pitchers.

580
00:20:47,295 --> 00:20:48,434
So the Angels

581
00:20:49,055 --> 00:20:49,555
inherit

582
00:20:50,309 --> 00:20:52,390
a double a pitcher and a class a

583
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:54,710
pitcher. I mean, thing that jumped out of

584
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:56,070
me when I looked at the stats of

585
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:57,750
the 2 pitchers they got, it's like neon

586
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:59,529
light blinking. One guy got a 0.97

587
00:20:59,974 --> 00:21:01,355
ERA, the other guy to 1.870

588
00:21:01,734 --> 00:21:03,734
ERA. Wow. In the lower minor leagues. That's

589
00:21:03,734 --> 00:21:05,994
awesome. So that that's real positive.

590
00:21:06,295 --> 00:21:07,755
Angels give up Estevez.

591
00:21:08,869 --> 00:21:10,569
Orioles, now they've made

592
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:11,929
major deals.

593
00:21:12,309 --> 00:21:14,789
Baltimore, of course, got Zac Efelen from Tampa

594
00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:16,809
Bay, took on the big money contract,

595
00:21:17,205 --> 00:21:18,404
and then they made a deal with the

596
00:21:18,404 --> 00:21:20,424
Phillies. They got sir Anthony Dominguez,

597
00:21:20,805 --> 00:21:23,065
who had been a setup guy in Philadelphia,

598
00:21:23,205 --> 00:21:25,445
one of these hard throwers they keep running

599
00:21:25,445 --> 00:21:26,105
out there,

600
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:28,680
and he could turn out to be their

601
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
closer because they've kinda lost faith in Craig

602
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,000
Kimbrough, who just continues to give up home

603
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,654
runs. So Baltimore's made a deal. The red

604
00:21:35,654 --> 00:21:37,115
sox got James Paxton,

605
00:21:37,575 --> 00:21:39,195
for a class a third baseman,

606
00:21:39,654 --> 00:21:42,134
from the Dodgers. Paxton goes back to Fenway

607
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:42,955
Park, although

608
00:21:43,289 --> 00:21:44,829
his record is is kinda

609
00:21:45,849 --> 00:21:48,569
it it's misleading. He's 8 and 2, high

610
00:21:48,569 --> 00:21:49,069
ERA,

611
00:21:49,369 --> 00:21:50,174
and all the metrics

612
00:21:58,894 --> 00:22:00,829
the He was a former starter with the

613
00:22:00,829 --> 00:22:02,990
Oakland A's, went to Miami. They flipped him

614
00:22:02,990 --> 00:22:03,890
into the bullpen,

615
00:22:04,349 --> 00:22:05,710
like, taught him a new pitch. He's got

616
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:08,705
an ERA of sub two zero zero. So

617
00:22:08,705 --> 00:22:10,705
he goes to Arizona. And the the the

618
00:22:10,705 --> 00:22:12,865
intangible about the diamondbacks is they got all

619
00:22:12,865 --> 00:22:14,705
these injured pitchers, you know, they've got nothing

620
00:22:14,705 --> 00:22:17,509
out of Eduardo Rodriguez, the Detroit Tiger

621
00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:18,350
race,

622
00:22:18,690 --> 00:22:19,830
and next to nothing,

623
00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:23,090
out of, Jordan Montgomery. Now he both those

624
00:22:23,090 --> 00:22:26,384
guys are back or coming back. So Arizona

625
00:22:26,384 --> 00:22:28,305
may make a a tremendous push in August

626
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:30,625
September when they get this whole whole pitching

627
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:33,309
staff put together. The cubs traded for 3rd

628
00:22:33,309 --> 00:22:35,009
basement, Isaac Paredes.

629
00:22:35,309 --> 00:22:37,390
He comes out of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay

630
00:22:37,390 --> 00:22:38,690
is trading everybody.

631
00:22:39,015 --> 00:22:40,714
The Cubs get him to be a cornerstone

632
00:22:40,855 --> 00:22:42,535
power hitter at 3rd base. That's got to

633
00:22:42,535 --> 00:22:43,275
help them.

634
00:22:43,734 --> 00:22:46,454
Yankees desperate. The first deal they've made so

635
00:22:46,454 --> 00:22:48,759
far is to get Jazz Chisholm. They got

636
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:49,659
him from Miami,

637
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:52,679
in a deal for lower minor leaguers. Chisholm,

638
00:22:52,679 --> 00:22:54,859
obviously, can play second, can play center,

639
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,220
dude hits.

640
00:22:56,554 --> 00:22:57,214
That's kinda interesting.

641
00:22:58,234 --> 00:22:59,214
And then the Mariners,

642
00:22:59,595 --> 00:23:01,514
in the first trade they made, they get

643
00:23:01,514 --> 00:23:02,335
Randy Arozarena,

644
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:05,759
all star outfielder. He comes from Tampa Bay.

645
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:07,839
He's gonna hit probably better in Seattle with

646
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:09,680
better bats around him, and they they need

647
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,200
somebody at the top of the batting order.

648
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,924
It's gonna be a trigger man. So those

649
00:23:13,924 --> 00:23:15,845
those are the deals that are out there

650
00:23:15,845 --> 00:23:17,924
right now, that have been made. As I

651
00:23:17,924 --> 00:23:18,424
say,

652
00:23:18,725 --> 00:23:20,164
my eyes are falling out of my head

653
00:23:20,164 --> 00:23:22,744
trying to follow certain 23 trades

654
00:23:23,109 --> 00:23:25,430
since Friday night, and the deadline is at

655
00:23:25,430 --> 00:23:26,170
3 o'clock

656
00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:27,049
Tuesday

657
00:23:27,509 --> 00:23:29,109
afternoon. So, John, I threw a lot on

658
00:23:29,109 --> 00:23:30,710
the wall here. Go ahead. Pick a team.

659
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:32,625
Whatever you wanna talk about. Well, do you

660
00:23:32,625 --> 00:23:34,805
still keep track with, like, on your paper?

661
00:23:35,105 --> 00:23:36,944
Because you do that for the NFL draft

662
00:23:36,944 --> 00:23:39,025
and I mean, the NF the and Major

663
00:23:39,025 --> 00:23:41,019
League Baseball trade deadline, it's just it that's

664
00:23:41,140 --> 00:23:43,140
you're in the zone. I am zoned out.

665
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:45,220
Yes. Thank you. So what what what'd you

666
00:23:45,220 --> 00:23:47,059
think about the Dodger deal to get Edmond

667
00:23:47,059 --> 00:23:49,059
a super utility guy and then get Michael

668
00:23:49,059 --> 00:23:51,765
Kopech? Well, Edmond, you know, he's local La

669
00:23:51,765 --> 00:23:53,684
Jolla Country Day guy, you know, and he's

670
00:23:53,684 --> 00:23:56,245
very versatile. He's kind of like Chris Taylor

671
00:23:56,245 --> 00:23:57,839
that that can hit. Yeah. You know, because

672
00:23:57,839 --> 00:23:59,920
Chris Taylor ain't hitting. Hey. You left out

673
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,680
my guy, Tommy Pham. You know, he was

674
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,839
in that deal too. And he's going back

675
00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:06,025
to the Cardinals and, you you know, I

676
00:24:06,105 --> 00:24:08,265
have such a love hate relationship with Tommy

677
00:24:08,265 --> 00:24:10,585
Pham, but I love that he's, you know,

678
00:24:10,585 --> 00:24:13,144
still relevant in Major League Baseball. And look

679
00:24:13,144 --> 00:24:15,289
at these other teams here. Sir Anthony, that

680
00:24:15,289 --> 00:24:17,130
was always kind of a fun name. I'm

681
00:24:17,130 --> 00:24:19,230
surprised the Phillies gave up on him,

682
00:24:19,849 --> 00:24:21,744
but, you know, this is a great time.

683
00:24:21,744 --> 00:24:24,464
Everyone's jockeying for positionally. And we're not done

684
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:25,825
yet. And we're not done yet. We've got,

685
00:24:25,825 --> 00:24:28,065
like, another, what, 24 hours or so. On

686
00:24:28,065 --> 00:24:30,480
we go to the trade board. Let's look

687
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,200
at who's available. Now there's a late breaking

688
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,799
name I'm gonna put at the top of

689
00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:36,500
the board. I'm violating the code.

690
00:24:37,404 --> 00:24:39,644
I don't know what's fact or fiction, I

691
00:24:39,644 --> 00:24:42,464
can only tell you what my network guys,

692
00:24:42,764 --> 00:24:44,605
that I email back and forth, or on

693
00:24:44,605 --> 00:24:45,664
the beat tell me.

694
00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:48,460
The giants are talking to the Yankees about

695
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:49,759
Blake Snell. Nice.

696
00:24:50,059 --> 00:24:52,400
Blake Snell, of course, had the record start,

697
00:24:52,859 --> 00:24:54,080
reported late,

698
00:24:54,775 --> 00:24:55,515
got hurt.

699
00:24:55,975 --> 00:24:58,154
His last four starts, 0.95

700
00:24:58,535 --> 00:24:59,035
ERA.

701
00:24:59,414 --> 00:25:01,975
His last start, he had 15 strikeouts. All

702
00:25:01,975 --> 00:25:03,914
of a sudden, he's dialed in.

703
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:05,259
San Francisco

704
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,740
signed him to a 2 year

705
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,920
60 mil deal. 30 mil this time, and

706
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,420
option,

707
00:25:11,765 --> 00:25:13,765
his option next year. They don't think he's

708
00:25:13,765 --> 00:25:14,505
coming back.

709
00:25:14,884 --> 00:25:17,605
So the question is, they're shopping them. The

710
00:25:17,605 --> 00:25:20,829
Yankees have stepped forward, and the Yankees negotiated

711
00:25:20,889 --> 00:25:22,029
with them last winter.

712
00:25:23,210 --> 00:25:25,769
The Yankees have got a plethora of young

713
00:25:25,769 --> 00:25:27,609
players they could use as trade bait and

714
00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:29,149
they definitely need

715
00:25:29,644 --> 00:25:31,404
a dog at the top of the rotation

716
00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:33,565
to work with Gerrit Cole, who's not not

717
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,884
been what Gerrit Cole was prior to his

718
00:25:35,884 --> 00:25:37,184
injury in spring training.

719
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:39,580
Now the problem was with Blake Snell.

720
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:41,880
If you if you trade a load of

721
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,340
minor leaguers to get them,

722
00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:45,320
you get them for the final 2 months

723
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,259
of the season and hopefully post season.

724
00:25:47,744 --> 00:25:49,285
But if dude opts out,

725
00:25:50,384 --> 00:25:51,904
now now you don't have me goes on

726
00:25:51,904 --> 00:25:53,505
the open market, unless you think I'm just

727
00:25:53,505 --> 00:25:55,105
going to re sign them regardless, and that

728
00:25:55,105 --> 00:25:57,205
means the price tag goes up etcetera etcetera.

729
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:59,190
But boy, he he could be what the

730
00:25:59,190 --> 00:26:01,109
yankees need, and I don't think there's probably

731
00:26:01,109 --> 00:26:02,390
a hell of a lot of other takers

732
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:04,329
out there. I don't know if San Francisco's

733
00:26:04,390 --> 00:26:07,134
dealing from a disadvantage because everybody knows he

734
00:26:07,134 --> 00:26:08,974
can opt out November 1st and go back

735
00:26:08,974 --> 00:26:12,095
into the free agent market represented by Scott

736
00:26:12,095 --> 00:26:13,934
Boris. There you go. And that always means

737
00:26:13,934 --> 00:26:16,180
price tag. Yeah. So this is fascinating. So

738
00:26:16,180 --> 00:26:18,740
Blake Snell is right there. In Detroit, I

739
00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:20,980
just don't understand it. I mean, they are

740
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:23,319
shopping their ace left hander, Tarek Skubal.

741
00:26:24,304 --> 00:26:26,804
Jack Flaherty, we hear is gonna be traded.

742
00:26:27,105 --> 00:26:29,444
Dodgers are in the running for him. Yankees

743
00:26:29,504 --> 00:26:31,504
are in the running for him. Padres are

744
00:26:31,504 --> 00:26:32,730
in the running for him.

745
00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:35,390
3rd name on the board is Garrett Crochet.

746
00:26:35,849 --> 00:26:37,609
White Sox are trying to shop him, but

747
00:26:37,609 --> 00:26:39,769
there's a huge issue that just developed because

748
00:26:39,769 --> 00:26:41,309
Crochet's agent says

749
00:26:41,644 --> 00:26:43,644
before we accept a trade, we want somebody

750
00:26:43,644 --> 00:26:45,404
to guarantee us there's gonna be a contract

751
00:26:45,404 --> 00:26:47,404
extension. This guy's gonna be in somebody's pennant

752
00:26:47,404 --> 00:26:49,085
race. He wants to be paid like a

753
00:26:49,085 --> 00:26:50,684
front line starter. All of a sudden, that's

754
00:26:50,684 --> 00:26:51,200
just kinda

755
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,859
shown up. Luis Robert, outfielder.

756
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:56,639
Dodgers had interest in him. Does the Edmond

757
00:26:56,639 --> 00:26:59,380
trade from the cardinals mean they won't trade

758
00:26:59,674 --> 00:27:01,454
and have to pay steeply steeply

759
00:27:01,914 --> 00:27:03,054
for Luis Robert?

760
00:27:03,434 --> 00:27:05,755
Toronto, depends who you talk to, covering the

761
00:27:05,755 --> 00:27:08,960
Blue Jays. One says Chris Bassett, Kevin Gaussmann

762
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,279
are gonna be traded. Others say absolutely not.

763
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:14,000
3rd group of writers say Vlad Guerrero is

764
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,765
being shot.

765
00:27:15,244 --> 00:27:17,884
Reds are shopping Frankie Montes. He's bounced around.

766
00:27:17,884 --> 00:27:20,045
He's had injury problems. He's never quite lived

767
00:27:20,045 --> 00:27:21,884
up to what he thought he would. And

768
00:27:21,884 --> 00:27:24,464
Texas, which has already traded 1 pitcher away

769
00:27:24,539 --> 00:27:28,160
is now talking about shopping Nathan Eovaldi. So

770
00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:29,820
there's a there are more dominoes that are

771
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:32,775
gonna fall here between now and Tuesday afternoon,

772
00:27:32,914 --> 00:27:35,475
3 PM San Diego time when the window

773
00:27:35,475 --> 00:27:36,615
closes. So John,

774
00:27:37,154 --> 00:27:39,255
your reaction to Snell,

775
00:27:40,349 --> 00:27:40,849
Frisco,

776
00:27:41,309 --> 00:27:42,690
New York, where,

777
00:27:43,069 --> 00:27:44,909
and then other hot names that catch your

778
00:27:44,909 --> 00:27:46,750
attention? Well, the other hot name, I was

779
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:48,609
just looking online while you were

780
00:27:49,085 --> 00:27:50,224
outlining this segment.

781
00:27:50,525 --> 00:27:52,365
Justin Turner just got flipped. He just went

782
00:27:52,365 --> 00:27:53,025
to Seattle.

783
00:27:53,565 --> 00:27:55,325
You know? So all of this action is

784
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:56,845
going on. This makes this time of the

785
00:27:56,845 --> 00:27:58,730
year just it's like Christmas. So the Mets

786
00:27:58,730 --> 00:28:00,670
Mets get a Rosarina and Turner

787
00:28:01,529 --> 00:28:03,150
to go with Julio Rodriguez

788
00:28:03,690 --> 00:28:05,609
and JP Crawford to try to fix their

789
00:28:05,609 --> 00:28:08,394
weak ass batting order. Yeah. So the Mariners,

790
00:28:08,394 --> 00:28:09,755
can they fix it? I don't know. You

791
00:28:09,755 --> 00:28:11,775
know? So Well, they got pitching now that

792
00:28:11,914 --> 00:28:13,434
added some bats. There you go. That's a

793
00:28:13,434 --> 00:28:15,434
good run. I like Tristan Turner. I agree.

794
00:28:15,434 --> 00:28:17,140
I mean, he looks like the AM PM

795
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:17,779
guy. Yeah.

796
00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:18,920
But,

797
00:28:19,779 --> 00:28:21,940
the the Blake Snell thing is very interesting

798
00:28:21,940 --> 00:28:23,539
to me because first of all, I'm very

799
00:28:23,539 --> 00:28:26,265
happy that he's performing like we had him

800
00:28:26,265 --> 00:28:28,345
last year when he was you know? And

801
00:28:28,345 --> 00:28:30,345
he's always a slow starter and all that.

802
00:28:30,345 --> 00:28:32,265
And the Giants seemed to like it was

803
00:28:32,265 --> 00:28:33,990
like a desperate a desperate kind of a

804
00:28:33,990 --> 00:28:34,630
move when they signed him in the first

805
00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:36,588
place. That contract doesn't work for them. So

806
00:28:36,588 --> 00:28:36,823
I think if Blake Snell were to be

807
00:28:36,823 --> 00:28:39,188
traded, that's great. I mean, the Yankees are

808
00:28:39,188 --> 00:28:39,333
a great place for him to land. If

809
00:28:39,333 --> 00:28:39,479
Blake Snell were to be traded, that's great.

810
00:28:39,479 --> 00:28:40,130
I mean, the Yankees are a great place

811
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:40,529
for him to land. If Blake Snell were

812
00:28:40,529 --> 00:28:42,285
to be traded, that's great. I mean, the

813
00:28:42,285 --> 00:28:43,804
Yankees are a great place for him to

814
00:28:43,804 --> 00:28:46,125
land if he can handle the New York

815
00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:47,724
media, which I think is a big question

816
00:28:47,724 --> 00:28:50,599
mark. But wasn't the Martha Padres kind of

817
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:52,279
like, you know, poking their nose around with,

818
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,940
Blake Snell? Yeah. But that's what the understanding

819
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:55,980
he is owed,

820
00:28:56,484 --> 00:28:58,724
I wanna say at least 10,000,000 for the

821
00:28:58,724 --> 00:29:00,884
rest of the season. The Padres, last I

822
00:29:00,884 --> 00:29:03,545
checked, the Padres had about 8 to 12,000,000

823
00:29:03,924 --> 00:29:04,424
total,

824
00:29:05,269 --> 00:29:07,529
and have already taken on Jason Adams contract.

825
00:29:08,069 --> 00:29:10,549
And Giants are gonna let him come to

826
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:12,710
this team in this division, and what do

827
00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:14,230
the Padres got left that they're gonna give

828
00:29:14,230 --> 00:29:16,525
up? I don't think he's gonna come cheap.

829
00:29:16,525 --> 00:29:18,285
San Francisco is not gonna send them to

830
00:29:18,285 --> 00:29:18,944
San Diego

831
00:29:19,244 --> 00:29:21,244
as a favor. Yeah. So I mean, how

832
00:29:21,244 --> 00:29:22,845
much more does AJ Peller got that he

833
00:29:22,845 --> 00:29:25,740
can actually move that makes any sense? And

834
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:26,799
the fact that the Yankees

835
00:29:27,259 --> 00:29:29,339
have dealt with Boris, have a relationship with

836
00:29:29,339 --> 00:29:30,619
Boris, who are in the running to key

837
00:29:30,859 --> 00:29:31,680
a bid on

838
00:29:32,115 --> 00:29:33,795
Snow last year. That makes a lot of

839
00:29:33,795 --> 00:29:35,474
sense to me. And the Yankees, I still

840
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:37,575
think, have a a lot of chips

841
00:29:38,115 --> 00:29:40,220
that they can use. And New York could

842
00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:41,200
handle a $30,000,000

843
00:29:42,140 --> 00:29:43,039
opt in payroll

844
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:47,115
price tag next season. Fascinating to see. Yeah.

845
00:29:47,115 --> 00:29:49,835
And then meanwhile, the Giants have already unloaded

846
00:29:49,835 --> 00:29:51,994
an outfielder. Was it Tashman, I think? Yes.

847
00:29:51,994 --> 00:29:54,474
So they're they're they're definitely in sell mode.

848
00:29:54,474 --> 00:29:56,750
So, yeah, this Blake Snell deal is gonna

849
00:29:56,750 --> 00:29:59,230
be fascinating. So you're a baseball fan. We

850
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:00,369
have put a ton

851
00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:03,150

to the dodger cardinal white sox 3 team

859
00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:19,170
trade and, of course, the other hot names

860
00:30:19,170 --> 00:30:21,475
that are out there. We get to halftime.

861
00:30:21,615 --> 00:30:24,975
This Monday bonus podcast trading deadline show is

862
00:30:24,975 --> 00:30:27,055

other great stuff. So but, yeah, in in

946
00:33:23,285 --> 00:33:25,445
fans' forum, people are already lining up lots

947
00:33:25,445 --> 00:33:27,285
of baseball talk here around the trade deadline,

948
00:33:27,285 --> 00:33:29,365
Lee. Ideal. We go to the second half,

949
00:33:29,365 --> 00:33:31,380
the Monday bonus podcast. We got news and

950
00:33:31,380 --> 00:33:32,900
notes around the NFL. Where do you wanna

951
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:34,420
start here, John? Well, let's start with the

952
00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:36,820
Rams and the chargers. Let's talk about the

953
00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:37,320
bolts.

954
00:33:38,494 --> 00:33:40,255
Jim Harbaugh has given us a big sales

955
00:33:40,255 --> 00:33:41,795
pitch about this roster,

956
00:33:42,095 --> 00:33:44,095
the players on the roster, the team he

957
00:33:44,095 --> 00:33:46,115
inherited, what he wants to change.

958
00:33:46,769 --> 00:33:48,289
Players gotta be on the field to stay

959
00:33:48,289 --> 00:33:49,589
healthy, and they're hurting.

960
00:33:50,130 --> 00:33:52,769
A week in the camp, Rashaan Slater, their

961
00:33:52,769 --> 00:33:53,990
pro bowl left tackle,

962
00:33:54,515 --> 00:33:57,255
outstanding rookie year, decent 2nd year hurt

963
00:33:57,955 --> 00:33:59,734
appears to have a calf injury.

964
00:34:00,275 --> 00:34:02,434
This early in camp, you don't want to

965
00:34:02,434 --> 00:34:04,990
have calf injuries because that takes time to

966
00:34:04,990 --> 00:34:05,970
come back from.

967
00:34:06,349 --> 00:34:08,130
Junior Colston, rookie linebacker,

968
00:34:08,909 --> 00:34:10,449
Michigan played for Harbaugh

969
00:34:11,304 --> 00:34:11,804
appendectomy,

970
00:34:13,065 --> 00:34:13,885
acute appendicitis

971
00:34:14,264 --> 00:34:17,144
attack during the rookie portion of the camp

972
00:34:17,144 --> 00:34:19,164
at the end of last week. He's out.

973
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:21,230
Harbaugh lectured the media.

974
00:34:21,849 --> 00:34:22,990
It was his opinion

975
00:34:23,610 --> 00:34:26,410
that young wide receiver, Quentin Johnston, 1st round

976
00:34:26,410 --> 00:34:28,809
pick last year, who'd hardly made an impact

977
00:34:28,809 --> 00:34:29,355
at all,

978
00:34:29,835 --> 00:34:31,454
got a bum rap from the media.

979
00:34:33,195 --> 00:34:35,914
He was wide receiver group 1 in the

980
00:34:35,914 --> 00:34:37,614
rookie camp. He's been demoted

981
00:34:38,059 --> 00:34:39,920
to the 2nd backup group.

982
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:42,559
Now with all the veterans in camp, why?

983
00:34:43,179 --> 00:34:45,260
Drop passes. Right. So he didn't get a

984
00:34:45,260 --> 00:34:47,595
bum rap. Now he's young. You're not gonna

985
00:34:47,595 --> 00:34:49,275
give up on him. He's big. He's got

986
00:34:49,275 --> 00:34:51,355
great speed. They have to teach him the

987
00:34:51,355 --> 00:34:51,855
mechanics

988
00:34:52,235 --> 00:34:53,535
of catching the ball.

989
00:34:53,869 --> 00:34:56,110
I do like the 3 receivers they're running

990
00:34:56,110 --> 00:34:58,429
with with Justin Herbert now with the number

991
00:34:58,429 --> 00:35:00,829
one unit. I've always liked Josh Palmer, the

992
00:35:00,829 --> 00:35:02,590
kid out of Tennessee. He's had 2 good

993
00:35:02,590 --> 00:35:03,090
years.

994
00:35:03,605 --> 00:35:05,844
DJ Chark is a big play receiver. They

995
00:35:05,844 --> 00:35:06,985
signed from the Carolina,

996
00:35:07,364 --> 00:35:07,864
Panthers,

997
00:35:08,644 --> 00:35:10,885
and Ladd McConkie is catching a lot of

998
00:35:10,885 --> 00:35:13,190
stuff coming out of the slot position. He,

999
00:35:13,190 --> 00:35:15,109
of course, is the rookie from Georgia, but

1000
00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:17,030
you need more than 3 receivers, so a

1001
00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:19,829
little bit wafer thin there. And Jesse Minter,

1002
00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:22,125
the new defensive coordinator, man, he is praising

1003
00:35:22,125 --> 00:35:24,304
the pass rush group. And on paper,

1004
00:35:24,765 --> 00:35:26,704
that group looks really good. Tocquembosa,

1005
00:35:27,324 --> 00:35:28,304
Khalil Mack,

1006
00:35:28,844 --> 00:35:29,824
Tuya Poloto,

1007
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:31,210
plus the inside linebackers

1008
00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:33,130
Perriman and Henley.

1009
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:35,769
And then, obviously, when they get Colston back

1010
00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:38,405
coming off the appendectomy, it looks like the

1011
00:35:38,724 --> 00:35:40,664
edge rushers and the blitz package

1012
00:35:40,965 --> 00:35:42,565
is gonna be really the heart and soul

1013
00:35:42,565 --> 00:35:44,324
of the defense. My burning question, do you

1014
00:35:44,324 --> 00:35:46,005
have enough guys in the secondary? My other

1015
00:35:46,005 --> 00:35:47,525
burning question, who the hell is gonna play

1016
00:35:47,525 --> 00:35:49,589
defensive tackle? They let go of the top

1017
00:35:49,589 --> 00:35:52,069
three defensive tackles. So that's what's going on

1018
00:35:52,069 --> 00:35:53,369
in the charger camp.

1019
00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:56,605
Bad news. A week into the Rams camp,

1020
00:35:56,684 --> 00:35:59,324
they have lost 2 of their top 3

1021
00:35:59,324 --> 00:35:59,824
cornerbacks.

1022
00:36:00,684 --> 00:36:03,405
Darion Kendrick has gone down with torn knee

1023
00:36:03,405 --> 00:36:03,905
ligaments,

1024
00:36:04,284 --> 00:36:05,425
gone for the year.

1025
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:08,299
His backup Darius Williams, who they signed as

1026
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:10,460
a free agent, went down over the weekend

1027
00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:11,679
with a severe hamstring,

1028
00:36:12,059 --> 00:36:13,819
does not appear he's gonna be able to

1029
00:36:13,819 --> 00:36:15,905
play at all during the course of the

1030
00:36:15,905 --> 00:36:18,545
rest of the preseason camp. They solve the

1031
00:36:18,545 --> 00:36:20,885
money problem with Matthew Stafford, the quarterback.

1032
00:36:21,425 --> 00:36:22,380
He He

1033
00:36:25,387 --> 00:36:25,887
had

1034
00:36:28,974 --> 00:36:30,494
He had 2 more years on his deal,

1035
00:36:30,494 --> 00:36:32,114
but there was no guarantee at all

1036
00:36:32,494 --> 00:36:33,394
in the 2025,

1037
00:36:34,255 --> 00:36:34,755
2026

1038
00:36:35,135 --> 00:36:37,789
contracts. What they did was they took some

1039
00:36:37,789 --> 00:36:39,869
cash out of next year's deal, flipped it

1040
00:36:39,869 --> 00:36:42,349
into this year, which pushes him over the

1041
00:36:42,349 --> 00:36:45,695
40,000,000 guaranteed mark and they put in roster

1042
00:36:45,695 --> 00:36:47,155
bonuses for next season,

1043
00:36:47,775 --> 00:36:50,114
they gave him in a total of 9,000,000

1044
00:36:50,255 --> 00:36:52,255
total, some this year, the next year, so

1045
00:36:52,255 --> 00:36:55,590
they've solved the contract problem with Stafford. So

1046
00:36:55,590 --> 00:36:57,210
you got a Horvath sales pitch,

1047
00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:59,030
you got some guys nicked up in the

1048
00:36:59,030 --> 00:37:02,065
charger camp, and the Rams losing 2 cornerbacks.

1049
00:37:02,125 --> 00:37:03,885
And at this late date, it's tough to

1050
00:37:03,885 --> 00:37:04,864
go get cornerbacks.

1051
00:37:05,644 --> 00:37:09,079
Yeah. This is interesting how the camps unfold.

1052
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:10,980
We're still trying to make heads or tails

1053
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:11,800
of these teams.

1054
00:37:12,180 --> 00:37:14,180
I was surprised by Quentin Johnson. I was

1055
00:37:14,180 --> 00:37:15,605
hopeful hopeful that he was gonna, you know,

1056
00:37:15,605 --> 00:37:17,484
kinda have a great sophomore year, but maybe

1057
00:37:17,484 --> 00:37:17,878
he still got a chance. But when the

1058
00:37:17,878 --> 00:37:19,105
end the season starts like in September. Right?

1059
00:37:19,324 --> 00:37:20,304
Yeah. 2nd

1060
00:37:21,324 --> 00:37:21,824
week.

1061
00:37:24,510 --> 00:37:26,590
I mean, what the Rams and chargers, you

1062
00:37:26,590 --> 00:37:28,190
know who their their opening day game is

1063
00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:28,690
against?

1064
00:37:29,070 --> 00:37:30,510
Off the top of my head, no. But

1065
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:32,829
the chargers have a fairly favorable schedule. The

1066
00:37:32,829 --> 00:37:34,684
Rams schedule, I think, is a bitch. Okay.

1067
00:37:34,684 --> 00:37:36,444
Okay. We'll talk more about that as we

1068
00:37:36,444 --> 00:37:38,844
march through August. Because I guess right now,

1069
00:37:38,844 --> 00:37:40,764
we're we're kind of like, you know, it's

1070
00:37:40,764 --> 00:37:42,844
like shadow boxing. You know, you're trying to

1071
00:37:42,844 --> 00:37:45,079
analyze the team, but there is no opponent,

1072
00:37:45,139 --> 00:37:46,579
you know, so you don't really know how

1073
00:37:46,579 --> 00:37:48,420
good they are. Yeah. And the other thing

1074
00:37:48,420 --> 00:37:48,920
is,

1075
00:37:49,219 --> 00:37:51,735
please don't get anybody hurt. Yeah. Exactly. And

1076
00:37:51,815 --> 00:37:53,575
the bolts bolts have got some guys nicked

1077
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:55,175
up. The Slater thing with the calf, that

1078
00:37:55,175 --> 00:37:57,515
worries me because that's such a physical

1079
00:37:58,135 --> 00:38:00,390
force position and if your legs don't hold

1080
00:38:00,390 --> 00:38:02,230
up, you got problems. You don't wanna re

1081
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:03,750
injure it. You don't wanna tear a calf

1082
00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:06,230
muscle. Yeah. That's Painful. That's a big issue

1083
00:38:06,230 --> 00:38:08,070
and I don't know where you go get

1084
00:38:08,070 --> 00:38:10,574
cornerbacks at this late date. We're almost to

1085
00:38:10,574 --> 00:38:12,735
August 1st and nobody's gonna give you a

1086
00:38:12,735 --> 00:38:13,715
cornerback, so

1087
00:38:14,175 --> 00:38:15,934
coach them up. That's what they're gonna have

1088
00:38:15,934 --> 00:38:18,010
to do. Okay. We go from that to

1089
00:38:18,010 --> 00:38:20,570
the NFL notebook, John. Okay. Here's some more

1090
00:38:20,570 --> 00:38:22,809
logos on the screens. The Steelers in your

1091
00:38:22,809 --> 00:38:25,690
number one spot here. Speaking of injuries, speaking

1092
00:38:25,690 --> 00:38:26,430
of Cavs,

1093
00:38:26,795 --> 00:38:27,295
speaking

1094
00:38:27,755 --> 00:38:30,554
of their quarterback, Russell Wilson, in a span

1095
00:38:30,554 --> 00:38:31,375
of 1 week,

1096
00:38:31,755 --> 00:38:32,255
tweaks

1097
00:38:32,875 --> 00:38:34,014
calf twice.

1098
00:38:34,474 --> 00:38:35,215
He's out.

1099
00:38:35,650 --> 00:38:38,210
They don't he didn't tear the calf, but

1100
00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:40,070
the fact that he's dinged it twice,

1101
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:43,090
that's not good. Now granted, they got 6

1102
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:43,545
weeks

1103
00:38:44,105 --> 00:38:45,724
on the rest of camp in Latrobe

1104
00:38:46,264 --> 00:38:48,025
for him to go through all the intense

1105
00:38:48,025 --> 00:38:48,525
therapy,

1106
00:38:49,065 --> 00:38:51,559
wear the wrap and everything. But the fact

1107
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:53,480
that he got nicked up twice in a

1108
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,559
span of about 5 days, Pittsburgh is one

1109
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:57,480
of the first teams that open camp, that

1110
00:38:57,639 --> 00:38:58,780
that's not good.

1111
00:38:59,195 --> 00:39:01,295
This is terrible news in New England,

1112
00:39:01,675 --> 00:39:02,815
Christian Barmore,

1113
00:39:03,195 --> 00:39:06,155
great defensive tackle. I mean, Belichick drafted a

1114
00:39:06,155 --> 00:39:07,775
really good player, he's a warrior,

1115
00:39:08,250 --> 00:39:10,570
He's in a hospital. He's got multiple blood

1116
00:39:10,570 --> 00:39:13,130
clots. Woah. Very serious. They did not say

1117
00:39:13,130 --> 00:39:15,210
whether it's in the lung area or whether

1118
00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:17,389
it's in the leg, calf area,

1119
00:39:17,734 --> 00:39:19,815
but he's on blood thinners and he's gonna

1120
00:39:19,815 --> 00:39:22,074
be out. He he may miss the start

1121
00:39:22,295 --> 00:39:24,695
of the NFL season. He's a really fine

1122
00:39:24,695 --> 00:39:26,454
player. And we know one thing in history

1123
00:39:26,454 --> 00:39:27,114
of medicine,

1124
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,880
you don't screw with blood clots. That's very

1125
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:30,940
dangerous stuff

1126
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,840
and it just develops. So he's out. Dallas

1127
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,924
has lost one of their pass rushers, Sam

1128
00:39:36,924 --> 00:39:39,085
Williams, who's also a great special teams player,

1129
00:39:39,085 --> 00:39:40,144
defensive end.

1130
00:39:40,844 --> 00:39:42,304
Last night, torn

1131
00:39:42,605 --> 00:39:43,105
ACL

1132
00:39:43,809 --> 00:39:45,349
gone for the entire season.

1133
00:39:47,090 --> 00:39:47,809
Bad news,

1134
00:39:48,130 --> 00:39:48,630
for

1135
00:39:49,329 --> 00:39:50,469
the Detroit Lions,

1136
00:39:50,849 --> 00:39:51,750
Michael Badgley,

1137
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:54,144
who is a very good field goal kicker,

1138
00:39:54,144 --> 00:39:54,965
torn hamstring,

1139
00:39:55,344 --> 00:39:56,644
gone for the season.

1140
00:39:58,625 --> 00:39:59,605
Green Bay situation,

1141
00:39:59,905 --> 00:40:00,565
the contract,

1142
00:40:01,184 --> 00:40:01,684
unique.

1143
00:40:03,449 --> 00:40:05,969
They they they gave Jordan love based on

1144
00:40:05,969 --> 00:40:06,869
one good season.

1145
00:40:07,409 --> 00:40:09,650
He sat for a couple behind Rogers, played

1146
00:40:09,650 --> 00:40:11,184
last year, played really well,

1147
00:40:12,065 --> 00:40:12,565
55,000,000

1148
00:40:12,945 --> 00:40:13,445
average.

1149
00:40:14,224 --> 00:40:14,724
55,000,000

1150
00:40:15,344 --> 00:40:17,585
for one good season in his career. Good

1151
00:40:17,585 --> 00:40:19,925
for him. The capitalist in use case. Yay.

1152
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:22,900
And Miami, 2 attack of Viola, who's done

1153
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:25,380
very well in his career and has really

1154
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:27,059
evolved as a game winner rather than a

1155
00:40:27,059 --> 00:40:29,355
game manager. He gets the extension. He gets

1156
00:40:29,755 --> 00:40:30,255
53,000,000.

1157
00:40:31,275 --> 00:40:33,375
So that's real positive news there.

1158
00:40:33,755 --> 00:40:35,675
You got the 49er logo up there. This

1159
00:40:35,675 --> 00:40:38,014
is the update on Brandon Iyuk. He's unhappy.

1160
00:40:38,619 --> 00:40:40,380
He wants to be traded, this love me

1161
00:40:40,380 --> 00:40:42,380
love me not thing in San Francisco just

1162
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:44,559
wears everybody out. New England's interested,

1163
00:40:45,179 --> 00:40:46,804
New England's got cap space,

1164
00:40:47,284 --> 00:40:49,284
It's obvious the patriots are gonna have a

1165
00:40:49,284 --> 00:40:50,505
high number one pick.

1166
00:40:50,885 --> 00:40:52,984
They're having trouble signing Matt Judon,

1167
00:40:53,444 --> 00:40:55,304
who's one of their top pass rushers.

1168
00:40:55,710 --> 00:40:58,269
Frisco needs a pass rusher. The rumor mill

1169
00:40:58,269 --> 00:40:58,849
out there

1170
00:40:59,230 --> 00:41:00,769
is initially San Francisco

1171
00:41:02,269 --> 00:41:03,329
offered IUC

1172
00:41:03,954 --> 00:41:06,454
for the number 1, New England's number 1.

1173
00:41:07,155 --> 00:41:09,075
Mhmm. Then New England came back and said

1174
00:41:09,075 --> 00:41:09,575
well,

1175
00:41:09,954 --> 00:41:11,735
we want more than just IUC,

1176
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:14,659
let's take your number 1, put it in

1177
00:41:14,659 --> 00:41:17,460
the pot with our number 1 and Frisco

1178
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:19,719
came back and said, add Matthew Judon,

1179
00:41:20,285 --> 00:41:22,445
the unsigned linebacker, he's got 1 year left

1180
00:41:22,445 --> 00:41:24,864
on his contract, add him into the equation.

1181
00:41:25,085 --> 00:41:27,005
So what it would be would Ayuk and

1182
00:41:27,005 --> 00:41:28,684
Frisco's number 1 at the bottom of the

1183
00:41:28,684 --> 00:41:30,989
board, For the Patriot's number 1, it's probably

1184
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:33,150
gonna be high, and the veteran pass rusher,

1185
00:41:33,150 --> 00:41:34,909
Ju Don. That kind of looks like a

1186
00:41:34,909 --> 00:41:36,530
win win trade for me.

1187
00:41:37,505 --> 00:41:39,424
And thing is that I could be leaving

1188
00:41:39,424 --> 00:41:40,864
a Super Bowl team to go play in

1189
00:41:40,864 --> 00:41:41,364
Foxborough,

1190
00:41:41,905 --> 00:41:43,905
where the weather is ratty in November December,

1191
00:41:43,905 --> 00:41:45,105
and by the way, they're not gonna win

1192
00:41:45,105 --> 00:41:46,942
any bloody games because they may have the

1193
00:41:46,942 --> 00:41:48,691
worst offense in football. So that trade makes

1194
00:41:48,691 --> 00:41:50,440
sense. So, John, there's a lot of lot

1195
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,189
of names there, a lot of topics. Go

1196
00:41:52,189 --> 00:41:53,938
ahead. The trade makes sense, but the grass

1197
00:41:53,938 --> 00:41:56,275
ain't always greener. Exactly. You know? And so

1198
00:41:56,275 --> 00:41:58,195
he's gonna land over there in the patriots,

1199
00:41:58,195 --> 00:41:59,954
and they've got a lot of question marks

1200
00:41:59,954 --> 00:42:01,554
at quarterback. I mean, he's not gonna get

1201
00:42:01,554 --> 00:42:03,155
the ball the way Brock Purdy can get

1202
00:42:03,155 --> 00:42:05,009
the ball to him. But just for the

1203
00:42:05,009 --> 00:42:07,170
Steelers, I mean, you know, Russell Wilson, the

1204
00:42:07,170 --> 00:42:09,349
calf problems. I mean, how old is he?

1205
00:42:09,409 --> 00:42:11,650
He's getting up there. Right? 35, 36, I

1206
00:42:11,650 --> 00:42:14,445
believe. Yeah. So maybe, you know, he he's

1207
00:42:14,684 --> 00:42:16,204
maybe he might be a bit shaky. And

1208
00:42:16,204 --> 00:42:18,765
then they also got the quarterback Fields, right,

1209
00:42:18,765 --> 00:42:20,925
from the the Bears. Justin Fields. He took

1210
00:42:20,925 --> 00:42:22,385
all the snaps over the weekend,

1211
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,480
and he was throwing bounce passes and he

1212
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,239
was overthrowing guys. He was all over the

1213
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,559
place. Oh my god. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's

1214
00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:30,159
a mess right now. But again, they got

1215
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:30,900
6 weeks

1216
00:42:31,255 --> 00:42:33,815
to babysit Russell Wilson and get him totally

1217
00:42:33,815 --> 00:42:35,414
healthy. But the fact he tweaked the calf

1218
00:42:35,414 --> 00:42:37,035
twice in about a 5 day span,

1219
00:42:37,414 --> 00:42:38,614
I'm like, I don't like that. And then

1220
00:42:38,614 --> 00:42:39,894
wait for the season to start or it's

1221
00:42:39,894 --> 00:42:41,619
getting even gonna be worse. Yeah. So that's

1222
00:42:41,619 --> 00:42:42,820
where we are. Those are the news and

1223
00:42:42,820 --> 00:42:44,579
notes around the National Football League. You're a

1224
00:42:44,579 --> 00:42:46,980
pro football fan. Hey. You'd be the general

1225
00:42:46,980 --> 00:42:49,400
manager. Would you do this San Francisco,

1226
00:42:49,699 --> 00:42:52,184
New England deal? Iyuk to the Patriots

1227
00:42:52,565 --> 00:42:54,664
flip flopping number ones, Matthew Judon,

1228
00:42:55,045 --> 00:42:57,285
or would you call New England back and

1229
00:42:57,285 --> 00:43:00,069
say, why don't you take Deebo Samuel instead?

1230
00:43:00,210 --> 00:43:02,210
And we'll just make that an easier trade

1231
00:43:02,210 --> 00:43:04,130
to execute because he's under a long term

1232
00:43:04,130 --> 00:43:06,549
contract. So that's where we are in football.

1233
00:43:07,324 --> 00:43:09,085
Hot topics on the table. We get other

1234
00:43:09,085 --> 00:43:10,605
story lines to talk about. Yeah. The high

1235
00:43:10,605 --> 00:43:12,924
speed sports fire league. Alright. This is the

1236
00:43:12,924 --> 00:43:16,280
latest. We've talked extensively about the TNT NBA

1237
00:43:16,340 --> 00:43:16,840
feud.

1238
00:43:17,380 --> 00:43:18,900
What was the favorite phrase I used on

1239
00:43:18,900 --> 00:43:21,460
Thursday? Lawyer up. Lawyer up. They did. Over

1240
00:43:21,460 --> 00:43:22,039
the weekend,

1241
00:43:22,434 --> 00:43:24,675
TNT's filed a big lawsuit against the National

1242
00:43:24,675 --> 00:43:25,734
Basketball Association

1243
00:43:26,434 --> 00:43:29,234
saying that the NBA changed the language in

1244
00:43:29,234 --> 00:43:30,775
the matching contract

1245
00:43:31,155 --> 00:43:31,655
clause.

1246
00:43:32,469 --> 00:43:32,969
Initially,

1247
00:43:33,750 --> 00:43:35,289
the NBA was of the opinion.

1248
00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:37,670
TNT did have a right to match, but

1249
00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:39,449
only over the air broadcast,

1250
00:43:39,885 --> 00:43:40,864
only what ESPN

1251
00:43:41,164 --> 00:43:44,224
and NBC got, not over this new creative

1252
00:43:44,284 --> 00:43:45,505
thing streaming

1253
00:43:46,045 --> 00:43:47,344
that Amazon got.

1254
00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:51,130
Warner Brothers, the corporation that owns TNT,

1255
00:43:51,989 --> 00:43:53,750
you're a big stock market dude. I can

1256
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:55,909
just see this. You you'll understand this. I

1257
00:43:55,909 --> 00:43:57,614
cut class today, they taught this,

1258
00:43:58,094 --> 00:43:59,074
taught Wall Street.

1259
00:43:59,695 --> 00:44:00,994
In 2 days,

1260
00:44:01,855 --> 00:44:04,414
their value on Wall Street, Warner Brothers, the

1261
00:44:04,414 --> 00:44:06,195
whole thing went down 9%.

1262
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:08,740
They went down

1263
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:10,579
$1,000,000,000

1264
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:11,860
in value

1265
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,119
in 2 days after the TNT thing happened.

1266
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:17,824
I believe that. So big big story there.

1267
00:44:17,824 --> 00:44:18,565
They lawyered

1268
00:44:19,344 --> 00:44:21,284
up. National Hockey League,

1269
00:44:21,824 --> 00:44:23,445
for the old Canada network.

1270
00:44:24,570 --> 00:44:25,309
Patrick Liney,

1271
00:44:25,690 --> 00:44:27,390
former 40 goal scorer, Winnipeg,

1272
00:44:27,690 --> 00:44:30,250
traded to Columbus, all kinds of personality clash

1273
00:44:30,250 --> 00:44:32,269
problems, did not play well in Columbus.

1274
00:44:33,025 --> 00:44:34,005
Left the team,

1275
00:44:34,304 --> 00:44:35,364
middle of the season,

1276
00:44:36,464 --> 00:44:37,284
broken leg,

1277
00:44:37,744 --> 00:44:39,684
put in the substance abuse program.

1278
00:44:40,340 --> 00:44:42,900
He's now been released from the substance program

1279
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:45,000
the NHL provides for trouble players,

1280
00:44:45,380 --> 00:44:46,900
goes back and meets with the new general

1281
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:47,960
manager in Columbus.

1282
00:44:48,405 --> 00:44:50,965
I wanna be traded. So the blue jackets

1283
00:44:50,965 --> 00:44:53,704
are putting Lainie on the trade block, 204

1284
00:44:54,005 --> 00:44:56,005
career goals. Once upon a time, I thought

1285
00:44:56,005 --> 00:44:57,625
this was a star in the making.

1286
00:44:58,005 --> 00:44:59,609
He just had a lot of issues

1287
00:44:59,989 --> 00:45:00,889
off the ice.

1288
00:45:01,349 --> 00:45:02,170
Auto racing,

1289
00:45:02,630 --> 00:45:05,429
I've never seen anybody meltdown like these guys

1290
00:45:05,429 --> 00:45:07,795
are melting down. You're a Formula 1 fan

1291
00:45:07,795 --> 00:45:09,795
and we cover everything. That's why we put

1292
00:45:09,795 --> 00:45:11,255
this stuff out there for you.

1293
00:45:12,034 --> 00:45:12,534
Team

1294
00:45:12,835 --> 00:45:13,654
Red Bull,

1295
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,460
Last, this past weekend,

1296
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:18,219
team Red Bull

1297
00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:19,340
falls apart

1298
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,460
in qualifying.

1299
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,545
Max Verstappen,

1300
00:45:22,844 --> 00:45:25,565
their superstar who dominated for a year and

1301
00:45:25,565 --> 00:45:27,184
a half and hasn't done anything

1302
00:45:27,644 --> 00:45:29,025
in the last 5 races.

1303
00:45:29,890 --> 00:45:32,869
His team is caught using an illegal engine

1304
00:45:32,930 --> 00:45:36,530
booster in qualifying. He gets docked 10 starting

1305
00:45:36,530 --> 00:45:37,750
points on the grid.

1306
00:45:38,144 --> 00:45:40,545
He was supposed to start 2nd. He wound

1307
00:45:40,545 --> 00:45:43,765
up starting 11th. He wound up finishing 6th.

1308
00:45:44,625 --> 00:45:46,164
And they just, they continue

1309
00:45:46,630 --> 00:45:47,769
to have problems

1310
00:45:48,469 --> 00:45:49,289
on the course

1311
00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:50,569
with the rules,

1312
00:45:50,949 --> 00:45:53,670
in the pits, and personality issues between the

1313
00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:56,375
driver and everybody else at team Red Bull.

1314
00:45:57,315 --> 00:45:59,154
Can you say divorce court at the end

1315
00:45:59,154 --> 00:46:01,315
of the season with him? So that's that's

1316
00:46:01,315 --> 00:46:03,839
the latest there. And the other one, last

1317
00:46:03,839 --> 00:46:04,819
name on the board,

1318
00:46:05,279 --> 00:46:06,819
this kind of came out of nowhere.

1319
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,699
Judge in Los Angeles has ruled

1320
00:46:10,454 --> 00:46:13,255
that the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole

1321
00:46:13,255 --> 00:46:14,074
Brown Simpson

1322
00:46:14,775 --> 00:46:16,315
can seize the entire

1323
00:46:17,094 --> 00:46:17,594
state

1324
00:46:18,054 --> 00:46:19,195
of OJ Simpson.

1325
00:46:19,809 --> 00:46:20,789
Sees everything

1326
00:46:21,329 --> 00:46:23,969
that this OJ Simpson, the late running back

1327
00:46:23,969 --> 00:46:24,469
owned.

1328
00:46:25,170 --> 00:46:25,670
Houses,

1329
00:46:26,530 --> 00:46:27,030
cars,

1330
00:46:27,644 --> 00:46:28,144
yachts,

1331
00:46:28,525 --> 00:46:30,625
his Heisman trophy, his investments,

1332
00:46:31,485 --> 00:46:32,385
seize it all

1333
00:46:33,005 --> 00:46:34,304
to pay off the $117,000,000

1334
00:46:35,724 --> 00:46:38,139
civil damage lawsuit that OJ Simpson lost

1335
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,880
that was filed by the Goldman and the

1336
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:40,780
Brown family

1337
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,559
on the on behalf of those who got

1338
00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:45,500
killed in the in the stabbing

1339
00:46:46,114 --> 00:46:48,355
of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. So

1340
00:46:48,355 --> 00:46:50,434
it's just an absolutely amazing story that this

1341
00:46:50,434 --> 00:46:52,135
is resurfaced and the judge says,

1342
00:46:52,434 --> 00:46:54,594
you have a right to go in and

1343
00:46:54,594 --> 00:46:57,309
garnish everything that was under his name to

1344
00:46:57,309 --> 00:46:58,369
pay off the debt.

1345
00:46:58,670 --> 00:46:59,170
117,000,000

1346
00:46:59,710 --> 00:47:01,789
OJ did not pay on. Well, hell yeah.

1347
00:47:01,789 --> 00:47:03,469
You know? I mean, they deserve that. I

1348
00:47:03,469 --> 00:47:05,215
mean, they won that case in court for,

1349
00:47:05,215 --> 00:47:07,295
you know, their family had their their family

1350
00:47:07,295 --> 00:47:08,114
members killed.

1351
00:47:08,735 --> 00:47:10,735
But, you know, going through some of these

1352
00:47:10,735 --> 00:47:13,400
things, the NBA on TNT, that is just

1353
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,819
the inside the NBA, such a great TV

1354
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,219
pregame postgame, love those guys. But

1355
00:47:18,839 --> 00:47:20,280
I'm surprised that,

1356
00:47:20,839 --> 00:47:22,464
the NBA is so hardcore on this. I

1357
00:47:22,464 --> 00:47:26,085
mean, why not let your existing longtime partner

1358
00:47:26,625 --> 00:47:28,464
match a deal? You know, you think that

1359
00:47:28,464 --> 00:47:30,164
you will at least owe them that courtesy.

1360
00:47:30,460 --> 00:47:32,960
There must be something with the Amazon package.

1361
00:47:33,179 --> 00:47:35,579
Maybe it's the sizzle of the streaming that's

1362
00:47:35,579 --> 00:47:38,219
got the NBA really fired up. TNT can't

1363
00:47:38,219 --> 00:47:38,719
stream.

1364
00:47:39,065 --> 00:47:41,644
This is all about developing a new concept

1365
00:47:42,025 --> 00:47:43,005
of how to reach

1366
00:47:43,545 --> 00:47:45,724
younger audiences Mhmm. And streaming

1367
00:47:46,179 --> 00:47:47,800
provides that. It's also $1,800,000,000

1368
00:47:48,980 --> 00:47:50,920
is what Amazon bid. Mhmm.

1369
00:47:51,539 --> 00:47:54,514
Come on. To quote Charles Barkley, Hey. Read

1370
00:47:54,514 --> 00:47:56,514
the fine print. They didn't read the fine

1371
00:47:56,514 --> 00:47:58,275
print. Well, the I know, but the world

1372
00:47:58,355 --> 00:48:00,949
this world's changing with streaming. So I I

1373
00:48:00,949 --> 00:48:02,789
don't know. I I I just kinda it

1374
00:48:02,789 --> 00:48:05,030
feels like the NBA is screwing over Warner

1375
00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:07,190
Brothers on this. And Warner Brothers is a

1376
00:48:07,190 --> 00:48:09,735
media company. I'm sure they've got partners here

1377
00:48:09,735 --> 00:48:11,735
that could provide a streaming package. It's just

1378
00:48:11,735 --> 00:48:13,494
weird that this didn't work. The amount of

1379
00:48:13,494 --> 00:48:15,815
money though that ESPN and NBC gave the

1380
00:48:15,815 --> 00:48:16,934
NBA for over the air broadcast, over the

1381
00:48:16,934 --> 00:48:17,434
air

1382
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,659
over the air includes TV and cable. Mhmm.

1383
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:21,380
Phenomenal.

1384
00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:22,980
They're not gonna allow

1385
00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:25,625
Adam Silver to come back and say, hey,

1386
00:48:25,625 --> 00:48:27,304
can I cherry pick some of the games

1387
00:48:27,304 --> 00:48:31,385
off your NBA or NBC ESPN schedule and

1388
00:48:31,385 --> 00:48:33,485
form another package, so we can

1389
00:48:34,210 --> 00:48:34,710
mollify

1390
00:48:35,010 --> 00:48:37,809
TNT and give them something? The the other

1391
00:48:37,809 --> 00:48:40,289
guys who paid volumes of money Mhmm. For

1392
00:48:40,289 --> 00:48:42,425
the contract extensions are not gonna give the

1393
00:48:42,425 --> 00:48:44,505
NBA the chance to take some games off

1394
00:48:44,505 --> 00:48:45,244
their schedule

1395
00:48:45,704 --> 00:48:48,505
and develop a 4th package for TNT to

1396
00:48:48,505 --> 00:48:50,769
keep TNT happy. That's it sounds like the

1397
00:48:50,769 --> 00:48:53,190
NFL and that whole Sunday ticket thing. Exactly.

1398
00:48:53,889 --> 00:48:55,730
But they don't have Charles Barkley telling the

1399
00:48:55,730 --> 00:48:57,329
people at TNT, why the hell didn't you

1400
00:48:57,329 --> 00:48:59,090
read the fine print? Right. So that's where

1401
00:48:59,090 --> 00:49:00,664
we are. We go from that to the

1402
00:49:00,664 --> 00:49:01,644
other big story.

1403
00:49:02,105 --> 00:49:04,184
You're watching it. You can't find it all

1404
00:49:04,184 --> 00:49:05,784
on TV because it's all on TV, but

1405
00:49:05,784 --> 00:49:07,545
you gotta find the 12 different channels it's

1406
00:49:07,545 --> 00:49:09,324
on. We're talking about the Olympics.

1407
00:49:09,690 --> 00:49:11,309
John, I thought

1408
00:49:11,690 --> 00:49:13,150
the opening ceremonies,

1409
00:49:13,849 --> 00:49:14,349
the

1410
00:49:14,970 --> 00:49:17,710
parade of nations on the river Seine,

1411
00:49:18,425 --> 00:49:20,265
I mean, it was I thought it was

1412
00:49:20,265 --> 00:49:23,565
great, great theater. The flags, the boats.

1413
00:49:24,184 --> 00:49:25,864
I I thought there were some other things

1414
00:49:25,864 --> 00:49:28,045
that happened there that were just unique.

1415
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,440
The salute to team Ukraine on their own

1416
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,480
individual boat. They have only only 2 medalist

1417
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,579
on team Ukraine, and they stayed

1418
00:49:37,215 --> 00:49:40,114
in Kyiv and the other cities and trained

1419
00:49:40,735 --> 00:49:42,894
while the Russians are bombarding and killing all

1420
00:49:42,894 --> 00:49:45,119
the people in those cities. Oh, wow. And

1421
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:46,900
there's a total of 15 Ukrainian

1422
00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:48,739
athletes on their Olympic team.

1423
00:49:49,199 --> 00:49:50,500
Everywhere they went

1424
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,199
on the parade of nations, and then when

1425
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:53,699
they

1426
00:49:54,585 --> 00:49:56,025
got off the boat to go into the

1427
00:49:56,025 --> 00:49:57,724
stadium, carrying the flag,

1428
00:49:58,025 --> 00:49:59,484
the response was unbelievable.

1429
00:49:59,864 --> 00:50:01,920
And this is the other thing, the boat

1430
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,559
after had nobody on it and that should

1431
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:07,119
have been the Russian boat. And the Russians

1432
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:09,039
were banned. Their athletes are banned from the

1433
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:11,695
opening ceremonies and the Russians who are competing

1434
00:50:11,695 --> 00:50:13,775
in the events that started over the weekend

1435
00:50:13,775 --> 00:50:15,394
and through this week and next week

1436
00:50:15,695 --> 00:50:18,195
cannot wear the Russian uniforms,

1437
00:50:18,829 --> 00:50:20,530
cannot carry a Russian flag,

1438
00:50:20,909 --> 00:50:22,909
cannot hear the anthem of any of them

1439
00:50:22,909 --> 00:50:24,989
metal. I mean, they are quote independent. So

1440
00:50:24,989 --> 00:50:26,894
that's that's really interesting,

1441
00:50:27,195 --> 00:50:30,015
but I thought the ceremonies were just electric

1442
00:50:30,474 --> 00:50:33,195
and then there's the unbelievable heartwarming story. This

1443
00:50:33,195 --> 00:50:35,579
is the biggest comeback of all, not comeback

1444
00:50:35,579 --> 00:50:36,780
from an injury, but I'm talking about the

1445
00:50:36,780 --> 00:50:37,920
comeback of the emotion

1446
00:50:38,219 --> 00:50:40,300
of mental health, what Simone Biles has done

1447
00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:41,900
and she got nicked, she's got a calf

1448
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:45,065
injury and yet she's staying on there. I

1449
00:50:45,065 --> 00:50:45,804
saw her,

1450
00:50:47,144 --> 00:50:47,885
event Sunday

1451
00:50:48,264 --> 00:50:50,299
on the beam, the single beam. I mean,

1452
00:50:50,299 --> 00:50:52,139
she almost got a perfect 15 score and

1453
00:50:52,139 --> 00:50:53,599
this is a person that's competing

1454
00:50:53,900 --> 00:50:56,219
with an injured calf and she's gonna compete

1455
00:50:56,219 --> 00:50:57,839
in all 4 events

1456
00:50:58,460 --> 00:50:59,679
in the team competition

1457
00:51:00,204 --> 00:51:03,505
and her coming back from the emotional trauma

1458
00:51:03,804 --> 00:51:05,664
of what happened in the last olympics,

1459
00:51:06,445 --> 00:51:08,869
and in the championships because of mental health.

1460
00:51:08,869 --> 00:51:10,809
What a a phenomenal story there.

1461
00:51:11,269 --> 00:51:12,250
USA Basketball,

1462
00:51:12,550 --> 00:51:13,690
they stomp Serbia.

1463
00:51:14,469 --> 00:51:17,289
Kevin Durant, Lebron James, 44 points.

1464
00:51:17,715 --> 00:51:18,534
Shot 62%

1465
00:51:18,835 --> 00:51:20,755
from the floor, hit 18 threes in the

1466
00:51:20,755 --> 00:51:23,315
team USA win. Now they're gonna play South

1467
00:51:23,315 --> 00:51:25,554
Sudan on Wednesday in the in their 2nd

1468
00:51:25,554 --> 00:51:28,030
round game. But Steve Kerr's got a juggling

1469
00:51:28,110 --> 00:51:29,570
he's got some unhappy players.

1470
00:51:30,110 --> 00:51:31,409
He did not play

1471
00:51:31,869 --> 00:51:34,030
Jayson Tatum of the Celtics did not play

1472
00:51:34,030 --> 00:51:34,530
Tyrese,

1473
00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:35,650
Hardison

1474
00:51:35,954 --> 00:51:36,614
of Indiana

1475
00:51:37,394 --> 00:51:39,235
in the 1st round game and they both

1476
00:51:39,235 --> 00:51:40,755
kind of barked about it at the press

1477
00:51:40,755 --> 00:51:41,255
conference.

1478
00:51:41,954 --> 00:51:44,320
So he's he's gotta juggle some guys, but

1479
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,840
they're gonna play It's only 1 ball. Yeah.

1480
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:46,579
That's right.

1481
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,340
And one game at a time.

1482
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:51,039
I was kind of aghast of this story.

1483
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:54,234
Team USA's women obviously, they stomped Japan today

1484
00:51:54,614 --> 00:51:56,534
in their 1st round game, but Dawn Staley,

1485
00:51:56,534 --> 00:51:57,835
the legendary coach,

1486
00:51:58,695 --> 00:52:01,469
went public and when asked on NBC about

1487
00:52:01,469 --> 00:52:03,869
the whole Caitlin Clark story and she made

1488
00:52:03,869 --> 00:52:06,590
the comment, well, if we knew what she

1489
00:52:06,590 --> 00:52:07,869
was gonna turn out to be as a

1490
00:52:07,869 --> 00:52:09,010
pro, she probably

1491
00:52:09,390 --> 00:52:10,734
could could have been put on this roster,

1492
00:52:10,734 --> 00:52:12,275
maybe should have been put on this roster.

1493
00:52:13,375 --> 00:52:15,135
You didn't take any of the accomplishments of

1494
00:52:15,135 --> 00:52:17,375
what Caitlin Clark did at Iowa and give

1495
00:52:17,375 --> 00:52:19,234
that any consideration at all?

1496
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:21,519
Now Caitlin Clark's not angry about it. She's

1497
00:52:21,519 --> 00:52:23,599
not talking about it, but Dawn Staley says,

1498
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:25,280
yeah. I guess we should have considered it

1499
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,440
now. Well, you think? Jeez. So we got

1500
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:27,824
that.

1501
00:52:28,304 --> 00:52:29,284
USA Soccer,

1502
00:52:29,585 --> 00:52:32,464
you're rocking and rolling. Men's team, 3 goals

1503
00:52:32,464 --> 00:52:34,784
in 22 minutes. They pounded New Zealand in

1504
00:52:34,784 --> 00:52:35,764
their first game.

1505
00:52:36,269 --> 00:52:38,190
Women's team is now 2 and o. You

1506
00:52:38,190 --> 00:52:40,289
know, last last time we talked about,

1507
00:52:40,829 --> 00:52:42,589
the US women's team, we talked about how

1508
00:52:42,589 --> 00:52:44,429
young they were. Well, all those young players

1509
00:52:44,429 --> 00:52:47,425
are really dominating. Sophie Smith scored 2 more

1510
00:52:47,425 --> 00:52:50,385
goals. Mal Swanson now has 3 goals in

1511
00:52:50,385 --> 00:52:52,565
2 games. They battered west

1512
00:52:53,114 --> 00:52:53,614
Germany,

1513
00:52:54,159 --> 00:52:56,719
in their West Germany? No. They battered Germany.

1514
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,019
I got a w here,

1515
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,795
which signifies win. They battered germ wise ass.

1516
00:53:02,114 --> 00:53:04,914
They battered Germany for their 2nd straight win.

1517
00:53:04,914 --> 00:53:07,574
They've now moved on to the knockout round.

1518
00:53:07,635 --> 00:53:09,414
And then the final Olympic story,

1519
00:53:09,989 --> 00:53:11,590
we've not heard the end of this. We've

1520
00:53:11,590 --> 00:53:13,590
heard the juicy part of it and it's

1521
00:53:13,590 --> 00:53:15,130
really bad and now it's spreading

1522
00:53:15,670 --> 00:53:17,050
like a bad oil spill.

1523
00:53:17,835 --> 00:53:18,815
Canadian soccer,

1524
00:53:19,114 --> 00:53:21,215
they are raging in Canada

1525
00:53:21,675 --> 00:53:23,755
about the coach and the 2 assistant coaches

1526
00:53:23,755 --> 00:53:24,734
using a drone

1527
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:26,900
to scout Switzerland

1528
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,980
before their 1st round game.

1529
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,539
Illegally using a drone

1530
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,775
to scout an opponent's workout. They've expelled the

1531
00:53:34,775 --> 00:53:36,474
head coach, they've expelled

1532
00:53:36,855 --> 00:53:38,155
the 2 assistant coaches,

1533
00:53:38,614 --> 00:53:39,835
they find the Canadian

1534
00:53:40,135 --> 00:53:41,514
soccer program $226,000.

1535
00:53:43,590 --> 00:53:45,910
The 3 coaches have now been expelled from

1536
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:47,769
pro soccer for 1 full year.

1537
00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:49,610
The fans were brutal.

1538
00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:52,644
They booed the Canadian players, the Canadian

1539
00:53:56,885 --> 00:53:58,804
any of this junk was going on and

1540
00:53:58,804 --> 00:53:59,784
now the investigation

1541
00:54:00,085 --> 00:54:02,585
is spread to the Canadian men's team

1542
00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:05,289
that they may have used drones

1543
00:54:05,589 --> 00:54:07,449
to quote illegally scout,

1544
00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:10,730
future opponents in the Olympics. So

1545
00:54:11,214 --> 00:54:11,954
that story

1546
00:54:12,255 --> 00:54:14,255
still out there. I don't think we've heard

1547
00:54:14,255 --> 00:54:15,934
the end of that story. So, John, would

1548
00:54:15,934 --> 00:54:17,554
you think about the opening ceremonies?

1549
00:54:17,855 --> 00:54:19,690
Oh, it was I like the opening ceremonies

1550
00:54:19,690 --> 00:54:21,530
are amazing. I mean, now granted there's the

1551
00:54:21,530 --> 00:54:22,030
whole

1552
00:54:22,329 --> 00:54:25,710
last supper politics religion. Let's put that aside

1553
00:54:26,010 --> 00:54:27,860
just for and really, you know, the the

1554
00:54:27,860 --> 00:54:30,424
parade, the boats, it was all terrific. It

1555
00:54:30,424 --> 00:54:32,105
was weird that it rained, you know, and

1556
00:54:32,105 --> 00:54:33,164
the city of lights

1557
00:54:33,545 --> 00:54:35,545
in in in July, and that kinda put

1558
00:54:35,545 --> 00:54:37,660
a damper on it. But, you know, it's

1559
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:39,480
the Olympics are a great event, you know.

1560
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,720
And it's it's not just because the world

1561
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:43,079
and all that, you know, we can root

1562
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:45,079
for our nation. It's more like everyone's coming

1563
00:54:45,079 --> 00:54:47,594
together. To feel good. It's yeah. And and

1564
00:54:47,594 --> 00:54:49,514
then you've got these athletes that have been

1565
00:54:49,514 --> 00:54:51,994
busting their butt for 4 years, 8 years,

1566
00:54:51,994 --> 00:54:52,974
all planning

1567
00:54:53,329 --> 00:54:56,369
to peak just at this moment. And, you

1568
00:54:56,369 --> 00:54:57,730
know, and then for some of them, they

1569
00:54:57,730 --> 00:54:59,329
can put it all together and get a

1570
00:54:59,329 --> 00:55:01,250
gold medal. I saw one of the male

1571
00:55:01,250 --> 00:55:03,505
gymnasts from Japan, one of the top players

1572
00:55:03,724 --> 00:55:05,804
or top performers, and he ended up having,

1573
00:55:05,804 --> 00:55:08,224
like, some, you know, brain farts. He froze

1574
00:55:08,605 --> 00:55:10,605
and just, you know, it can crack for

1575
00:55:10,605 --> 00:55:12,599
them. It's just so emotional. But, you know,

1576
00:55:12,599 --> 00:55:14,360
you look at your headlines here. Yes. Simone

1577
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:15,340
Biles is fantastic.

1578
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,480
That young lady or it was just really

1579
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:18,920
not a young lady anymore. She's been in

1580
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,105
the Olympics. 29. Yeah. So she's, you know,

1581
00:55:21,105 --> 00:55:22,945
working her way up there. She is so

1582
00:55:22,945 --> 00:55:25,684
athletic, so strong. I mean, it's incredible

1583
00:55:25,985 --> 00:55:27,845
given her diminutive size.

1584
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,219
USA Basketball, I saw the game against Serbia.

1585
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:31,599
I mean,

1586
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,239
Jokic was out there on the opposing team

1587
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:36,400
By himself. By himself, but that was a

1588
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,375
route. Yeah. Caitlin Clark definitely deserved to be

1589
00:55:39,375 --> 00:55:41,695
here. You know, you know, the the SC

1590
00:55:41,695 --> 00:55:43,934
coach, you know, really admitted that they made

1591
00:55:43,934 --> 00:55:44,594
a mistake.

1592
00:55:44,969 --> 00:55:46,250
But, you know, the whole Canada thing, I

1593
00:55:46,250 --> 00:55:48,410
mean, they have Bill Belichick as their GM

1594
00:55:48,410 --> 00:55:50,269
or something. What's going on over there? Consultant,

1595
00:55:50,489 --> 00:55:53,289
just terrible. I saw a really cool picture

1596
00:55:53,289 --> 00:55:55,005
last night, and we're gonna we're gonna go

1597
00:55:55,005 --> 00:55:56,704
to fans form in just a second.

1598
00:55:57,164 --> 00:55:58,304
I saw a snapshot

1599
00:55:59,244 --> 00:56:02,304
of beach volleyball being played right there.

1600
00:56:02,739 --> 00:56:04,440
And the stadium was constructed

1601
00:56:05,059 --> 00:56:06,679
in a big parking lot

1602
00:56:07,059 --> 00:56:09,219
and right in the background is the Eiffel

1603
00:56:09,219 --> 00:56:11,914
Tower all lit up. Sweet. What a cool,

1604
00:56:11,914 --> 00:56:12,414
cool

1605
00:56:12,795 --> 00:56:14,875
picture that was. But the Olympics the Olympics

1606
00:56:14,875 --> 00:56:17,755
were really, really great theater. Hey, listen. Our

1607

podcast is brought to you by Line Lumber

month, call them, set up an appointment, make

sure you tell them Hacksaw sent me. We

1614
00:56:34,309 --> 00:56:35,050
got an unbelievable

1615
00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:37,349
number of people stacked up here who've got

1616
00:56:37,349 --> 00:56:41,030
opinions, baseball trade deadline, NFL. You wanna talk

1617
00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:43,269
about what we've just discussed as it relates

1618
00:56:43,269 --> 00:56:44,714
to the Olympic ceremonies.

1619
00:56:45,255 --> 00:56:45,755
John,

1620
00:56:46,135 --> 00:56:46,954
your segment

1621
00:56:47,255 --> 00:56:49,414
out in left field, stand up. Welcome your

1622
00:56:49,414 --> 00:56:51,414
friends on. Yeah. Welcome my friends. Let's go

1623
00:56:51,414 --> 00:56:53,920
to Iran, or is it Irene? And she

1624
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,559
says, they will always give up early on

1625
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,239
give up on guys too early. We're talking

1626
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,934
about Padres here, by the way. They always

1627
00:56:59,934 --> 00:57:01,695
give up on the guys too early that

1628
00:57:01,695 --> 00:57:04,275
Washington trade still was the worst in history.

1629
00:57:04,414 --> 00:57:06,335
Well, you'd have to connect all the dots

1630
00:57:06,335 --> 00:57:09,074
here. She's making reference obviously to So to,

1631
00:57:09,730 --> 00:57:11,590
coming then So to leaving.

1632
00:57:11,890 --> 00:57:14,050
But some of the components also allow them

1633
00:57:14,050 --> 00:57:16,369
to get Dylan's cease. But at the end

1634
00:57:16,369 --> 00:57:17,190
of the day,

1635
00:57:17,574 --> 00:57:20,074
and this is my beef with my neighbor,

1636
00:57:20,135 --> 00:57:22,775
AJ Preller, is if you overpay for everybody

1637
00:57:22,775 --> 00:57:24,454
and then you never stick around to see

1638
00:57:24,454 --> 00:57:25,894
if they ever pan out and you do

1639
00:57:25,974 --> 00:57:27,114
use them to trade,

1640
00:57:27,650 --> 00:57:29,250
you're you're never gonna have a farm system

1641
00:57:29,250 --> 00:57:31,170
and you have no insurance if anybody gets

1642
00:57:31,170 --> 00:57:33,170
hurt or somebody gets old. And now he's

1643
00:57:33,170 --> 00:57:34,549
got a much older roster

1644
00:57:34,914 --> 00:57:37,094
with nothing in the farm system at all,

1645
00:57:37,554 --> 00:57:40,594
and he's kinda capped out budget wise. So

1646
00:57:40,594 --> 00:57:42,275
he has to win this year or next

1647
00:57:42,275 --> 00:57:44,079
because I swear to you. And people are

1648
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:45,920
gonna hop on and said, oh, you're being

1649
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,720
negative. I'm being honest. There's no future for

1650
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,239
Padre baseball if they don't get to the

1651
00:57:50,239 --> 00:57:52,239
world series this season or next season, because

1652
00:57:52,239 --> 00:57:53,585
there is no farm system left.

1653
00:57:54,065 --> 00:57:56,864
And the roster is so top heavy with

1654
00:57:56,864 --> 00:57:59,125
older players on long term contracts.

1655
00:57:59,585 --> 00:58:01,844
Do you agree or disagree with me? Well,

1656
00:58:02,329 --> 00:58:04,889
top heavy, you mean, Louboutjerks and Profar, 1

1657
00:58:04,889 --> 00:58:07,530
year deal, 1,000,000 bucks. You know? So he's

1658
00:58:07,769 --> 00:58:08,989
Preller's got flexibility.

1659
00:58:09,434 --> 00:58:11,614
Preller is plotting. He's scheming.

1660
00:58:11,994 --> 00:58:14,795
This is his world series right now. He's

1661
00:58:14,875 --> 00:58:16,394
and he's not gonna sleep for the next,

1662
00:58:16,394 --> 00:58:17,054
you know,

1663
00:58:17,500 --> 00:58:20,719
28 hours probably. It better be. Yeah. So,

1664
00:58:21,179 --> 00:58:22,539
I I don't know. I I I think

1665
00:58:22,539 --> 00:58:25,364
the Padres, I like the aggressive approach. The

1666
00:58:25,364 --> 00:58:27,545
deal with Washington, they gave up a ton.

1667
00:58:27,684 --> 00:58:29,445
But, you know, if you really kinda break

1668
00:58:29,445 --> 00:58:31,364
it down, they got really good value, you

1669
00:58:31,364 --> 00:58:33,045
know, in terms of having So to and

1670
00:58:33,045 --> 00:58:35,109
who they flipped So to for. That's where

1671
00:58:35,109 --> 00:58:36,230
we are, but at the end of the

1672
00:58:36,230 --> 00:58:38,069
day, he's traded 9 of the top 12

1673
00:58:38,069 --> 00:58:39,989
minor leaguers in the system now. Yeah. But

1674
00:58:39,989 --> 00:58:41,429
you can like we said, we can always

1675
00:58:41,429 --> 00:58:43,094
replenish, and it's not empty. I mean, you

1676
00:58:43,094 --> 00:58:45,494
still have Salas and DeVries and, you know,

1677
00:58:45,494 --> 00:58:47,414
Snelling. So it it's it's still in okay

1678
00:58:47,414 --> 00:58:49,494
shape. Alright. Thank you for the question. Next

1679
00:58:49,494 --> 00:58:51,599
one. Okay. Let's go to John. He says

1680
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:54,160
the Padres are in, quote, win it all,

1681
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,579
there is no tomorrow, unquote, situation.

1682
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,820
I hope these players have some longevity.

1683
00:58:59,284 --> 00:59:01,364
Otherwise, it's gonna be years just to clear

1684
00:59:01,364 --> 00:59:03,204
the books and afford the rebuild. That's what

1685
00:59:03,204 --> 00:59:04,025
you just said.

1686
00:59:04,324 --> 00:59:07,224
Exactly. And but, again, AJ knows

1687
00:59:07,630 --> 00:59:08,530
he knows players.

1688
00:59:09,070 --> 00:59:10,989
I'm a big subscriber and his boots on

1689
00:59:10,989 --> 00:59:13,070
the ground philosophy of how you find these

1690
00:59:13,070 --> 00:59:15,390
guys and do well. I like the makeup

1691
00:59:15,390 --> 00:59:16,130
of the bullpen,

1692
00:59:17,214 --> 00:59:18,894
but at the end of the day, there's

1693
00:59:18,894 --> 00:59:21,714
no prospects left. The the cupboard is really

1694
00:59:21,855 --> 00:59:22,355
bare.

1695
00:59:22,894 --> 00:59:25,889
John doesn't care. John only cares about capitalism

1696
00:59:26,029 --> 00:59:28,109
and what's gonna happen in the dodger series

1697
00:59:28,109 --> 00:59:30,750
and how long were we talking baseball in

1698
00:59:30,750 --> 00:59:32,909
October. Well, yeah, you gotta build the minor

1699
00:59:32,909 --> 00:59:35,775
league system, but the the prime directive is

1700
00:59:35,775 --> 00:59:38,574
the MLB team to make it competitive, and

1701
00:59:38,574 --> 00:59:40,735
the Padres had this great road trip 7

1702
00:59:40,735 --> 00:59:43,210
and 2. They're rolling. If they could take

1703
00:59:43,210 --> 00:59:45,369
care of business with the Dodgers, it might

1704
00:59:45,369 --> 00:59:47,769
turn out pretty good. Okay. Ever the optimist

1705
00:59:47,769 --> 00:59:49,849
from left field. Thanks, John. Go ahead. Next

1706
00:59:49,849 --> 00:59:53,054
one. Alright. The practicing guitarist says, Lee, John,

1707
00:59:53,114 --> 00:59:55,114
it is evident that this team seems to

1708
00:59:55,114 --> 00:59:56,815
play fine arguably better

1709
00:59:57,275 --> 01:00:00,530
without Tatis. Look at 2022 in this recent

1710
01:00:00,530 --> 01:00:02,930
run. Thoughts on moving him? Well, he's got

1711
01:00:02,930 --> 01:00:05,329
a long term contract. I mean, unbelievably long.

1712
01:00:05,329 --> 01:00:06,610
It was I think when he signed it,

1713
01:00:06,610 --> 01:00:07,905
it was 14 years total.

1714
01:00:08,704 --> 01:00:10,224
I don't think there are no trade Tati's.

1715
01:00:10,224 --> 01:00:12,065
I I guess the remarkable thing is dudes

1716
01:00:12,065 --> 01:00:13,824
are in the pennant race or kinda hanging

1717
01:00:13,824 --> 01:00:15,905
in the pennant race without their number 1

1718
01:00:15,905 --> 01:00:18,339
and 2 starters and without El Nino.

1719
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,179
That's pretty impressive.

1720
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:22,400
Or is it just the fact, thank God,

1721
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,800
they're playing the lowly Washington Nationals and all

1722
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,480
the other bad teams in baseball? I don't

1723
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,894
know. But, they're hanging in there right now

1724
01:00:28,894 --> 01:00:30,815
and I mean, if they if they can

1725
01:00:30,815 --> 01:00:33,394
win back to back versus the Dodgers

1726
01:00:34,070 --> 01:00:35,989
and get this sucker down to 4 and

1727
01:00:35,989 --> 01:00:38,250
a half games and then they play 15

1728
01:00:38,389 --> 01:00:40,650
straight against Colorado, Miami, Pittsburgh,

1729
01:00:41,244 --> 01:00:43,424
First place is really right there

1730
01:00:44,125 --> 01:00:45,644
in their sight lines, but they have to

1731
01:00:45,644 --> 01:00:47,005
do it, and they haven't shown they could

1732
01:00:47,005 --> 01:00:49,184
do this with any consistency at all.

1733
01:00:49,989 --> 01:00:52,150
Better without Tatis. No way. No. Not a

1734
01:00:52,150 --> 01:00:53,429
way. So we I mean, they got with

1735
01:00:53,429 --> 01:00:55,589
a Johnson guy playing right field. They got

1736
01:00:55,670 --> 01:00:57,670
Do you have the 157 batting average? Yeah.

1737
01:00:57,670 --> 01:01:00,135
David Peralta, you know, who had a nice

1738
01:01:00,135 --> 01:01:01,655
run a number of years ago, but he's

1739
01:01:01,655 --> 01:01:03,894
past his prime. They're gonna be better without

1740
01:01:03,894 --> 01:01:05,735
Tatis. And by the way, Tatis is in

1741
01:01:05,735 --> 01:01:07,735
the dugout with him right now. So if

1742
01:01:07,735 --> 01:01:08,940
he's a cancer, El

1743
01:01:12,119 --> 01:01:12,619
Nino's

1744
01:01:13,119 --> 01:01:13,619
missed

1745
01:01:14,119 --> 01:01:14,619
a

1746
01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:15,619
lot

1747
01:01:16,119 --> 01:01:16,333
of baseball. Well, I mean, you think of

1748
01:01:16,333 --> 01:01:17,914
all the injuries. Oh, god. Yeah. El Nino's

1749
01:01:17,914 --> 01:01:19,675
missed a lot of baseball. Well, I mean,

1750
01:01:19,675 --> 01:01:21,035
you think of all the injuries. Oh god.

1751
01:01:21,035 --> 01:01:23,434
Yeah. The wrist surgery, the drug suspension, and

1752
01:01:23,434 --> 01:01:26,269
now this thigh injure. He's not doing anything

1753
01:01:26,269 --> 01:01:28,130
baseball related because he still can't.

1754
01:01:28,670 --> 01:01:29,969
MRIs have been clean

1755
01:01:30,269 --> 01:01:32,269
showing healing in the thigh bone area, but

1756
01:01:32,269 --> 01:01:33,730
he's not doing a baseball related

1757
01:01:34,105 --> 01:01:36,264
start, stop, side to side. Well, I saw

1758
01:01:36,264 --> 01:01:38,184
him playing catch in the outfield, but that's

1759
01:01:38,184 --> 01:01:39,704
that's soft toss. That's Yeah. But that's at

1760
01:01:39,704 --> 01:01:41,465
least something, you know. So that's where we

1761
01:01:41,465 --> 01:01:44,019
are. Okay. Thank you for the, comment. Okay.

1762
01:01:44,019 --> 01:01:46,179
Let's go to Angel. He goes, finally, the

1763
01:01:46,179 --> 01:01:48,260
Padres are gaining ground on the Dodgers. And

1764
01:01:48,260 --> 01:01:50,420
if they could sweep or even take one

1765
01:01:50,420 --> 01:01:52,484
from LA, they may have a shot at

1766
01:01:52,484 --> 01:01:53,464
the NL West,

1767
01:01:54,085 --> 01:01:55,065
or HFA

1768
01:01:55,444 --> 01:01:57,525
in in the wild card. What's HFA? You

1769
01:01:57,525 --> 01:01:59,204
got me home field advantage, I would assume.

1770
01:01:59,204 --> 01:02:01,510
Yeah. That's probably what I mean yeah. They

1771
01:02:01,510 --> 01:02:03,190
get they get the best of 3 first

1772
01:02:03,190 --> 01:02:05,130
round pound, you won it in your yard.

1773
01:02:05,510 --> 01:02:07,670
I concur with you. So we'll see. I

1774
01:02:07,670 --> 01:02:08,969
mean, this is an opportunity.

1775
01:02:09,925 --> 01:02:12,085
Nobody's paying attention to the schedule. I looked

1776
01:02:12,085 --> 01:02:13,284
at the schedule at the end of last

1777
01:02:13,284 --> 01:02:16,565
week. I said, holy cow, 15 straight against

1778
01:02:16,565 --> 01:02:19,385
the rockies, the marlins, and the pirates. So,

1779
01:02:20,049 --> 01:02:22,049
Angel, it's right there in front of them.

1780
01:02:22,049 --> 01:02:22,789
Next question.

1781
01:02:23,089 --> 01:02:25,329
Next question. Okay. Who we got here on

1782
01:02:25,329 --> 01:02:26,929
the list? We'll go to,

1783
01:02:27,409 --> 01:02:27,909
Casey.

1784
01:02:28,344 --> 01:02:30,425
And Casey says, I hope the dodgers get

1785
01:02:30,585 --> 01:02:32,844
got another move up their sleeve as Kopech

1786
01:02:32,984 --> 01:02:35,869
era scares me and an injured utility guy.

1787
01:02:35,950 --> 01:02:38,030
Still hoping they add a closer like either

1788
01:02:38,030 --> 01:02:40,590
Tanner Scott or Kyle Finnegan. They're trying hard

1789
01:02:40,590 --> 01:02:43,070
with Washington to get Finnegan, the left hander,

1790
01:02:43,070 --> 01:02:45,010
but man, they're the Nats are barking

1791
01:02:45,485 --> 01:02:47,085
for a a big price. So the the

1792
01:02:47,085 --> 01:02:48,465
burning question is

1793
01:02:48,765 --> 01:02:51,025
the dodgers still do have

1794
01:02:51,565 --> 01:02:54,289
a lot of hot prospects, you know, Hauptmann,

1795
01:02:54,750 --> 01:02:55,650
Gavin Lux.

1796
01:02:57,150 --> 01:02:59,489
They got triple a pitching standing in line.

1797
01:03:00,030 --> 01:03:01,534
Would you rather spend it to get the

1798
01:03:01,534 --> 01:03:03,855
ace of the tiger staff, Tarek Skubal, the

1799
01:03:03,855 --> 01:03:06,014
left hander or just rather pay a little

1800
01:03:06,014 --> 01:03:07,875
bit less and just go get Finnegan?

1801
01:03:09,170 --> 01:03:10,930
You know, they've had so many starts and

1802
01:03:10,930 --> 01:03:12,690
stops with the guys coming off rehab in

1803
01:03:12,690 --> 01:03:13,430
the rotation,

1804
01:03:14,210 --> 01:03:16,930
the Kershaw's, the Buellers, who's ready, who's not

1805
01:03:16,930 --> 01:03:19,055
ready, who suffers a setback after they get

1806
01:03:19,055 --> 01:03:21,454
here. So I I I tend to think

1807
01:03:21,454 --> 01:03:23,394
they probably will go after

1808
01:03:23,775 --> 01:03:24,835
either Skubal

1809
01:03:25,150 --> 01:03:27,309
or maybe Jack Flaherty. Now the Yankees are

1810
01:03:27,309 --> 01:03:29,070
out there, and the Yankees are rumored going

1811
01:03:29,070 --> 01:03:31,630
after those 2 same guys. And the Yankees

1812
01:03:31,630 --> 01:03:32,610
have got a plethora

1813
01:03:33,070 --> 01:03:36,255
of of hot prospects notably at AAA. So

1814
01:03:36,554 --> 01:03:37,614
Yankees dodgers

1815
01:03:38,155 --> 01:03:39,755
will be playing the Price is Right in

1816
01:03:39,755 --> 01:03:42,449
which which deal will Detroit take or maybe

1817
01:03:42,449 --> 01:03:44,690
Detroit trades them both, maybe they trade Schuubel

1818
01:03:44,690 --> 01:03:46,769
and they get Flaherty and then they get

1819
01:03:46,769 --> 01:03:49,089
a a Brink's truckload of hot prospects from

1820
01:03:49,089 --> 01:03:51,635
both the Yankees and Dodgers. So between now

1821
01:03:51,635 --> 01:03:53,094
and 3 PM, Tuesday,

1822
01:03:53,554 --> 01:03:54,775
it's gonna be interesting.

1823
01:03:55,235 --> 01:03:57,715
How do they decide when the trade deadline's

1824
01:03:57,715 --> 01:03:59,474
gonna be? Because it's not always the same

1825
01:03:59,474 --> 01:04:01,679
date on the calendar, is it? More recently,

1826
01:04:01,739 --> 01:04:03,199
it's been around August 1st.

1827
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:06,140
Yeah. Now there was a move afoot, it

1828
01:04:06,140 --> 01:04:07,199
used to be 15th,

1829
01:04:07,739 --> 01:04:09,260
prior to that, I think it was August

1830
01:04:09,260 --> 01:04:09,760
31st,

1831
01:04:10,525 --> 01:04:13,105
but they did not want the pennant race

1832
01:04:13,644 --> 01:04:14,144
impacted

1833
01:04:15,085 --> 01:04:16,684
right at the end of the season. So

1834
01:04:16,684 --> 01:04:18,224
they moved it into August.

1835
01:04:19,529 --> 01:04:21,789
It was just kind of a weird conversation

1836
01:04:21,929 --> 01:04:24,109
that baseball had with the union about,

1837
01:04:24,650 --> 01:04:27,049
is everybody gonna sell all their players the

1838
01:04:27,049 --> 01:04:29,385
last month of the season? I mean Detroit

1839
01:04:29,684 --> 01:04:31,925
take everybody off their roster and send them

1840
01:04:31,925 --> 01:04:33,965
to all the pennant contenders and is that

1841
01:04:33,965 --> 01:04:35,864
is that fair to Detroit fan?

1842
01:04:36,589 --> 01:04:39,150
So but they they it it was 15th

1843
01:04:39,150 --> 01:04:40,589
and then got bumped up to the first

1844
01:04:40,589 --> 01:04:42,769
and something because of the calendar this year,

1845
01:04:43,045 --> 01:04:45,684
it goes to July 30th. Yeah. Because usually,

1846
01:04:45,684 --> 01:04:48,085
you know, obviously, September's off limits because people

1847
01:04:48,085 --> 01:04:50,610
are trying to build their playoff roster. They

1848
01:04:50,610 --> 01:04:51,809
used to be able to do the waiver

1849
01:04:51,809 --> 01:04:53,809
deals in August. That's off the off the

1850
01:04:53,809 --> 01:04:54,309
table.

1851
01:04:54,610 --> 01:04:57,730
But this trade deadline, sometimes it's August 1,

1852
01:04:57,730 --> 01:05:01,155
sometimes it's July 31, sometimes it's July 30.

1853
01:05:01,155 --> 01:05:03,074
But that's only a couple days. A couple

1854
01:05:03,074 --> 01:05:04,835
of days, but I'm just wondering why it's

1855
01:05:04,835 --> 01:05:06,614
inconsistent. I don't know. I think

1856
01:05:06,994 --> 01:05:09,180
way back, and this has to go back

1857
01:05:09,180 --> 01:05:09,680
decades.

1858
01:05:10,380 --> 01:05:11,680
I think it used to be

1859
01:05:12,619 --> 01:05:14,954
June 15th. I mean, it was really weird

1860
01:05:15,035 --> 01:05:16,715
why why there'd be a trade deadline in

1861
01:05:16,715 --> 01:05:18,155
June, but I think way back in the

1862
01:05:18,155 --> 01:05:20,474
day it was, but the union gets involved

1863
01:05:20,474 --> 01:05:22,235
in that and baseball's trying to protect the

1864
01:05:22,235 --> 01:05:24,280
integrity of some of these clubs too that

1865
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,360
you just can't conduct a fire sale Mhmm.

1866
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,920
And screw your fans, period, exclamation point. So

1867
01:05:29,079 --> 01:05:30,760
Well, if I'm the Dodgers, I'm going all

1868
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,155
in, man. You got Ohtani, Mookie's coming back.

1869
01:05:33,315 --> 01:05:35,315
You know, they gotta go for it. Next

1870
01:05:35,315 --> 01:05:37,875
question. Next question. Let's go to Callan. Hey,

1871
01:05:37,875 --> 01:05:39,635
Lee. All of us on here are sports

1872
01:05:39,635 --> 01:05:42,280
junkies. What's your go to Olympic event? Have

1873
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,780
to say these games have been extremely entertaining.

1874
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,760
As a broken down distance runner, I love

1875
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:47,660
track and field.

1876
01:05:48,039 --> 01:05:50,460
I love seeing the evolvement of our sprinters.

1877
01:05:50,744 --> 01:05:52,125
I mean, what we've seen,

1878
01:05:53,224 --> 01:05:56,445
with with these sprinters is just been phenomenal.

1879
01:05:56,824 --> 01:05:58,824
What Richardson's gonna do in the women's 2

1880
01:05:58,824 --> 01:06:00,889
sprint events, what Noah's gonna do in the

1881
01:06:00,889 --> 01:06:03,710
2 men's 100, 200 trying to double there.

1882
01:06:04,089 --> 01:06:06,029
I mean, those are those are fascinating

1883
01:06:06,329 --> 01:06:08,409
things to watch but, you know, I I

1884
01:06:08,409 --> 01:06:09,389
sat there mesmerized

1885
01:06:10,734 --> 01:06:11,234
watching

1886
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:12,755
Simone Biles

1887
01:06:13,375 --> 01:06:15,074
on the balance beam last night

1888
01:06:15,454 --> 01:06:17,699
and she's competing with a calf injury and

1889
01:06:17,699 --> 01:06:20,279
she pulls off a near 15 perfect score.

1890
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:21,559
I said, wow.

1891
01:06:22,819 --> 01:06:24,359
You know, I watched just

1892
01:06:24,659 --> 01:06:27,074
a snippet today of Japan

1893
01:06:27,454 --> 01:06:28,674
upsetting China

1894
01:06:29,375 --> 01:06:31,315
and getting the gold in all around gymnastics.

1895
01:06:32,094 --> 01:06:33,634
Wow. All these different events.

1896
01:06:35,049 --> 01:06:36,889
So I I I'm a huge track and

1897
01:06:36,889 --> 01:06:38,409
field guy, but I like watching some of

1898
01:06:38,409 --> 01:06:39,849
the other stuff. And then obviously, I love

1899
01:06:39,849 --> 01:06:42,030
the winter Olympics because I'm from snow country

1900
01:06:42,484 --> 01:06:43,925
and, you know, I love to see the

1901
01:06:43,925 --> 01:06:45,684
downhill. I'd love to see the ski jumping.

1902
01:06:45,684 --> 01:06:48,324
It's just fascinating. Like Eddie the Eagle. That's

1903
01:06:48,324 --> 01:06:48,824
right.

1904
01:06:50,269 --> 01:06:52,429
Gallon, thanks for the question. Yeah. I know.

1905
01:06:52,429 --> 01:06:54,269
Speaking for myself, I was watching some of

1906
01:06:54,269 --> 01:06:56,670
the men's, rugby. Yeah. And I had never

1907
01:06:56,670 --> 01:06:58,914
really watched rugby, but you can see how

1908
01:06:58,914 --> 01:07:01,335
it's similar to football and similar to soccer,

1909
01:07:01,714 --> 01:07:03,474
and and I'm trying to understand the rules

1910
01:07:03,474 --> 01:07:05,315
as it plays out. I was watching a

1911
01:07:05,315 --> 01:07:07,894
women's cycling event and in the rain,

1912
01:07:08,489 --> 01:07:09,710
riding over cobblestones

1913
01:07:10,170 --> 01:07:12,089
and the bike slips out from under them.

1914
01:07:12,089 --> 01:07:14,409
Yep. You know, because it's terrible conditions given

1915
01:07:14,409 --> 01:07:16,734
the rain. But this is just a spectacular

1916
01:07:16,954 --> 01:07:19,194
time. I love it all. You know, bring

1917
01:07:19,194 --> 01:07:21,135
me more Olympics more of the time.

1918
01:07:21,914 --> 01:07:24,300
You're big on break dancing. They're gonna give

1919
01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:27,019
medals out for break dancing. Break dancing. Break

1920
01:07:27,019 --> 01:07:30,059
dancing. Break dancing. You talking about break dancing?

1921
01:07:30,059 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaking of rugby for the old Canada network,

1922
01:07:33,255 --> 01:07:35,094
you know the genesis of the Canadian Football

1923
01:07:35,094 --> 01:07:37,434
League was rugby back in the early 1900.

1924
01:07:37,815 --> 01:07:39,815
That was. That was a rugby game that

1925
01:07:39,815 --> 01:07:42,320
evolved into the Canadian Football League. Interesting. Back

1926
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,260
in the day. I didn't know that. Okay.

1927
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,400
Let's move on. Let's go to Greg. Lee,

1928
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,644
I believe there are too many interleague games.

1929
01:07:48,885 --> 01:07:51,364
My suggestion is have all interleague games possibly

1930
01:07:51,364 --> 01:07:53,364
in April so the teams can have more

1931
01:07:53,364 --> 01:07:55,525
games within their division. Well, I don't know

1932
01:07:55,525 --> 01:07:58,505
that playing the Rockies 19 times this season.

1933
01:07:58,710 --> 01:08:00,469
See, I think you you and I, Greg,

1934
01:08:00,469 --> 01:08:02,389
don't agree with this and John I think

1935
01:08:02,389 --> 01:08:04,150
John is on my street corner for once

1936
01:08:04,150 --> 01:08:06,389
in his life. I I I like the

1937
01:08:06,389 --> 01:08:08,569
fact that we're playing everybody in our division

1938
01:08:08,695 --> 01:08:10,394
13 times rather than 19.

1939
01:08:10,695 --> 01:08:12,074
I like the packaging

1940
01:08:12,454 --> 01:08:14,934
that everybody in the American league is gonna

1941
01:08:14,934 --> 01:08:16,454
come in here over a 2 year window.

1942
01:08:16,454 --> 01:08:18,555
We'll get to see the entire American league

1943
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,600
at our ballpark. They'll, you know, half of

1944
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,520
them will be here this year, we go

1945
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:24,600
somewhere this year, next year the other half

1946
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,235
comes in here, we go to the other

1947
01:08:27,235 --> 01:08:29,795
ballparks next year, I like that a great

1948
01:08:29,795 --> 01:08:32,354
deal. The one thing about the interleague and

1949
01:08:32,354 --> 01:08:34,649
and when they first started it, I remember,

1950
01:08:34,649 --> 01:08:36,649
I think I was talking to Latino at

1951
01:08:36,649 --> 01:08:37,309
that point.

1952
01:08:37,849 --> 01:08:40,409
There's there's a novelty to how you market

1953
01:08:40,409 --> 01:08:43,284
interleague play. In the 1st couple of years,

1954
01:08:43,664 --> 01:08:45,925
they set out in June July

1955
01:08:46,385 --> 01:08:49,265
as interleague play. So you play everybody in

1956
01:08:49,265 --> 01:08:51,400
your own league, and we got to June

1957
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,720
July and you went heavy duty wall to

1958
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,280
wall interleague play and it kind of became

1959
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,765
a specialty thing, you know, So we get

1960
01:08:58,765 --> 01:09:00,565
to see the Yankees and the Red Sox

1961
01:09:00,565 --> 01:09:03,204
versus the Dodgers in interleague play in June

1962
01:09:03,204 --> 01:09:04,585
July, but now it's scattergunned

1963
01:09:05,204 --> 01:09:05,704
everywhere.

1964
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,600
I I think it lost a little bit

1965
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,840
of its oomph. It I thought it should

1966
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,399
be a special event, and it was for

1967
01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:14,520
a couple of years and got rid of

1968
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,734
it. Well, yeah, it was special at first

1969
01:09:16,734 --> 01:09:19,295
because it was taboo. You never saw the

1970
01:09:19,295 --> 01:09:21,534
cross mingling here except in spring training and

1971
01:09:21,534 --> 01:09:22,435
the world series.

1972
01:09:23,135 --> 01:09:24,609
I I think they got it right now

1973
01:09:24,609 --> 01:09:27,010
because it's like the NFL and the NBA

1974
01:09:27,010 --> 01:09:29,170
season where, you know, you're you're playing the

1975
01:09:29,170 --> 01:09:30,789
other teams in the other conference,

1976
01:09:31,234 --> 01:09:33,074
and you play them less frequently than the

1977
01:09:33,074 --> 01:09:34,594
teams in your own division or your own

1978
01:09:34,594 --> 01:09:36,114
conference, but I think they're finally getting it

1979
01:09:36,114 --> 01:09:38,034
right. Yep. I think so too. Thanks for

1980
01:09:38,034 --> 01:09:40,819
the comment, Greg. Next question. Next question. Alright.

1981
01:09:40,819 --> 01:09:43,060
Let's go to the rap album depot. He

1982
01:09:43,060 --> 01:09:45,300
says, everybody who was asked what a LeBron

1983
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:47,619
of soccer would look like, hey. It's Trittany

1984
01:09:47,619 --> 01:09:48,119
Rodman.

1985
01:09:48,625 --> 01:09:51,025
She's a star. Yeah. Sophie Smith is a

1986
01:09:51,025 --> 01:09:51,525
star.

1987
01:09:52,064 --> 01:09:52,564
Mallory

1988
01:09:53,025 --> 01:09:55,284
is just she's become a star.

1989
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,359
It's it's really interesting what women's soccer. And

1990
01:09:58,359 --> 01:09:59,579
we saw this coming,

1991
01:10:00,119 --> 01:10:01,399
about a year and a half ago, and

1992
01:10:01,399 --> 01:10:03,479
we wondered what women's soccer would be. And

1993
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:04,965
now, of course, they brought the the coach

1994
01:10:04,965 --> 01:10:06,585
in from Chelsea in England

1995
01:10:06,965 --> 01:10:09,604
who's got a great track record reputation of

1996
01:10:09,604 --> 01:10:12,505
awards and ceremonies. So, you know, team USA

1997
01:10:13,380 --> 01:10:14,119
right there

1998
01:10:14,500 --> 01:10:16,119
in women's soccer globally.

1999
01:10:16,819 --> 01:10:18,340
And now we'll see where the men, you

2000
01:10:18,340 --> 01:10:20,100
know, the men are gonna go after their

2001
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:21,079
second win and

2002
01:10:21,704 --> 01:10:23,625
move on into knockout round. And they're doing

2003
01:10:23,784 --> 01:10:24,284
remember,

2004
01:10:24,664 --> 01:10:26,425
in the Olympics, it's under the age of

2005
01:10:26,425 --> 01:10:29,600
23. It's a young roster. You're allowed 3

2006
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,680
veteran exemptions on the men's roster and the

2007
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:32,579
women's roster,

2008
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,979
but these are 2 really, really young

2009
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:36,739
sides for team USA.

2010
01:10:37,064 --> 01:10:39,465
So that under 23 thing applies to the

2011
01:10:39,465 --> 01:10:41,244
women too. Yes. Interesting.

2012
01:10:41,944 --> 01:10:44,344
I I I'm all for putting your best

2013
01:10:44,344 --> 01:10:46,380
players on the pitch, on the court, on

2014
01:10:46,380 --> 01:10:47,039
the field.

2015
01:10:47,579 --> 01:10:49,579
I I think they they should lift that,

2016
01:10:49,579 --> 01:10:51,199
you know, the 23 limit.

2017
01:10:51,739 --> 01:10:53,875
Because I I like it the pros are

2018
01:10:53,875 --> 01:10:55,314
playing in the league. I I like it

2019
01:10:55,314 --> 01:10:56,835
to see the top stars in the world

2020
01:10:56,835 --> 01:10:57,895
in the Olympics. But

2021
01:10:59,314 --> 01:11:01,720
I I I buy a piece of that,

2022
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,640
but I I happen to think the NBA

2023
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:04,940
playoffs and the championship

2024
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,159
is the top of the mountain in that

2025
01:11:07,159 --> 01:11:09,524
sport, and playing in the Olympics against a

2026
01:11:09,524 --> 01:11:10,984
sub, you know, a substandard

2027
01:11:11,364 --> 01:11:12,345
team from Japan

2028
01:11:12,725 --> 01:11:13,625
or the Philippines.

2029
01:11:14,005 --> 01:11:16,564
Well, the gap's closing in international basketball. Not

2030
01:11:16,564 --> 01:11:18,779
everywhere. Well, but still it's closing, and so

2031
01:11:18,779 --> 01:11:20,619
it's a lot more interesting. I mean, South

2032
01:11:20,619 --> 01:11:23,100
Sudan almost beat team USA a few weeks

2033
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:24,699
ago. Yeah. Well, look what happens in game

2034
01:11:24,699 --> 01:11:27,104
2 when they get beat by 53. Okay.

2035
01:11:27,484 --> 01:11:29,344
Alright. Let's move on. Let's go to Richard.

2036
01:11:29,885 --> 01:11:32,765
Fans forum here. With Ohtani deferring his salary

2037
01:11:32,765 --> 01:11:35,100
to help build around him, If if this

2038
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:37,659
is the only move LA makes, is this

2039
01:11:37,659 --> 01:11:40,960
considered an epic deadline failure? No. Because

2040
01:11:41,614 --> 01:11:43,155
if they don't win the division,

2041
01:11:43,774 --> 01:11:45,774
it's not that they did not make moves

2042
01:11:45,774 --> 01:11:47,854
or did not try. It's because they got

2043
01:11:47,854 --> 01:11:50,720
17 pitchers on the disabled list. I mean,

2044
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,039
lost in all the argument of why everybody

2045
01:11:53,039 --> 01:11:54,020
hates the Dodgers

2046
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:56,579
is the fact they're still in 1st place.

2047
01:11:57,255 --> 01:11:59,414
And Dave Roberts, who an awful lot of

2048
01:11:59,414 --> 01:12:01,414
people in LA and some in San Diego

2049
01:12:01,414 --> 01:12:02,795
don't like his manager.

2050
01:12:03,255 --> 01:12:04,875
He's got them in 1st place.

2051
01:12:05,239 --> 01:12:06,619
It's a peaceful clubhouse

2052
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,500
and the balancing act with all the personalities

2053
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:10,780
and the egos,

2054
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:13,524
he's been able to maintain it and done

2055
01:12:13,524 --> 01:12:15,045
a good job. So if they don't get

2056
01:12:15,045 --> 01:12:17,685
there, it's a byproduct of how many arms

2057
01:12:17,685 --> 01:12:19,304
that they have lost. 17.

2058
01:12:20,060 --> 01:12:21,659
I swear to you, I've never all the

2059
01:12:21,659 --> 01:12:23,500
years I've covered this and I pay attention

2060
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:25,340
to all this stuff. I've never seen a

2061
01:12:25,340 --> 01:12:27,935
team have 17 pitchers on those tables and

2062
01:12:27,935 --> 01:12:30,354
virtually, every one of their top starters

2063
01:12:30,814 --> 01:12:34,034
has been on the DL for shoulder, elbow,

2064
01:12:34,414 --> 01:12:36,435
surgeries, rehabs, reinjures,

2065
01:12:36,735 --> 01:12:37,235
etcetera.

2066
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,439
At one point, they had none of their

2067
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,220
starters in the rotation. After they

2068
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:44,100
they DFA James Paxton a week ago,

2069
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,125
all all their top 5 starters gone, for

2070
01:12:47,125 --> 01:12:48,645
a wide variety of reasons. Now they're hoping

2071
01:12:48,645 --> 01:12:49,844
to get them back, we got 2 months

2072
01:12:49,844 --> 01:12:50,744
left in the baseball

2073
01:12:51,284 --> 01:12:52,885
season, so we'll see whether they trade and

2074
01:12:52,885 --> 01:12:55,159
get flirty out of Detroit or school out

2075
01:12:55,159 --> 01:12:56,600
of Detroit. I think they're gonna one is

2076
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,039
gonna wind up in LA, the other thing's

2077
01:12:58,039 --> 01:13:00,119
gonna wind up at Yankee Stadium. But I

2078
01:13:00,119 --> 01:13:01,239
I don't think the season will be a

2079
01:13:01,239 --> 01:13:03,239
failure because they didn't try because God, they

2080
01:13:03,239 --> 01:13:06,015
got the high highest budget in baseball. It's

2081
01:13:06,015 --> 01:13:08,015
just the byproduct of you can't lose that

2082
01:13:08,015 --> 01:13:10,975
many players and all the dialogue about 17

2083
01:13:10,975 --> 01:13:12,920
on the DL, there is no Mookie Betts.

2084
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:14,859
There's no Max Muncy coming back either.

2085
01:13:15,719 --> 01:13:17,719
I I I think, if if the Dodgers

2086
01:13:17,719 --> 01:13:19,579
did nothing, it would be a failed,

2087
01:13:20,119 --> 01:13:22,114
trade deadline. They've gotta go for it. You

2088
01:13:22,114 --> 01:13:23,795
know, they got they're the number one team

2089
01:13:23,795 --> 01:13:26,195
in National League in all of baseball, and

2090
01:13:26,195 --> 01:13:28,100
they got they got Ohtani. So

2091
01:13:29,380 --> 01:13:31,140
they're not done. There's gonna be a Dodger

2092
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:33,300
deal in the next 24 hours. On we

2093
01:13:33,300 --> 01:13:35,159
go. On we go. Let's go to Gregory.

2094
01:13:35,220 --> 01:13:37,380
He says, I don't like that ruling. That

2095
01:13:37,380 --> 01:13:39,795
leaves if there are any family of OJ

2096
01:13:39,795 --> 01:13:42,595
Simpson with nothing. Well, they lost the civil

2097
01:13:42,595 --> 01:13:45,154
lawsuit. I mean, granted the trial was a

2098
01:13:45,154 --> 01:13:45,654
different

2099
01:13:46,274 --> 01:13:46,774
egg.

2100
01:13:47,079 --> 01:13:49,239
They lost the civil lawsuit with the same

2101
01:13:49,239 --> 01:13:51,979
set of circumstances and the jury awarded them.

2102
01:13:52,039 --> 01:13:53,340
I don't know that OJ's

2103
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:54,300
children,

2104
01:13:55,614 --> 01:13:57,135
who I don't think had very much to

2105
01:13:57,135 --> 01:13:59,454
do with him later stages of his career

2106
01:13:59,454 --> 01:14:01,135
when he was living in Las Vegas in

2107
01:14:01,135 --> 01:14:01,715
a hotel.

2108
01:14:02,779 --> 01:14:05,260
I don't know. It's the civil ruling is

2109
01:14:05,260 --> 01:14:05,760
that

2110
01:14:06,619 --> 01:14:08,380
he had to pay and he did not

2111
01:14:08,380 --> 01:14:09,899
pay a dime and he lived high off

2112
01:14:09,899 --> 01:14:12,295
the hog in Las Vegas. Thank you lawyers

2113
01:14:12,295 --> 01:14:14,795
and appeal courts and all that other crapola.

2114
01:14:15,654 --> 01:14:17,835
So I mean the the federal judge ruled

2115
01:14:17,975 --> 01:14:19,734
they can seize all of the assets from

2116
01:14:19,734 --> 01:14:21,479
the Simpson estate and it can be sold

2117
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:22,300
and distributed.

2118
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,099
Yeah. Terrible story. My whole

2119
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,500
my whole attitude towards George Simpson

2120
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,119
changed after the trial and then when I

2121
01:14:30,119 --> 01:14:30,859
found out

2122
01:14:31,704 --> 01:14:32,925
Nicole Brown Simpson

2123
01:14:33,305 --> 01:14:34,284
called the police

2124
01:14:34,744 --> 01:14:35,244
63

2125
01:14:35,625 --> 01:14:38,585
times during her marriage because of domestic abuse

2126
01:14:38,585 --> 01:14:39,085
cases.

2127
01:14:39,909 --> 01:14:42,630
My whole attitude towards OJ Simpson, the person,

2128
01:14:42,630 --> 01:14:45,909
not the player, the person totally changed. So

2129
01:14:45,909 --> 01:14:47,130
I'm biased, I'm biased.

2130
01:14:47,655 --> 01:14:49,895
The Goldman and the Brown family deserves whatever

2131
01:14:49,895 --> 01:14:51,255
they can get out of this case because

2132
01:14:51,255 --> 01:14:53,015
they didn't get it when OJ was alive.

2133
01:14:53,015 --> 01:14:55,015
Yeah. They gotta liquidate the assets and pay

2134
01:14:55,015 --> 01:14:56,795
the bill. I mean, that's what that's justice.

2135
01:14:57,070 --> 01:14:58,750
You know, just a side note is my

2136
01:14:58,750 --> 01:14:59,250
mother

2137
01:15:00,189 --> 01:15:02,189
worked closely and is very good friends with

2138
01:15:02,189 --> 01:15:03,170
OJ's sister.

2139
01:15:03,789 --> 01:15:05,734
They worked at a similar company. It's the

2140
01:15:05,734 --> 01:15:07,814
same company in San Francisco for, like, 15

2141
01:15:07,814 --> 01:15:10,135
years. My mom is still convinced OJ is

2142
01:15:10,135 --> 01:15:10,635
innocent.

2143
01:15:12,215 --> 01:15:13,480
I just I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

2144
01:15:13,590 --> 01:15:14,729
I don't get it. Degrade

2145
01:15:15,270 --> 01:15:17,510
anything on your family tree. Okay. Well, actually,

2146
01:15:17,510 --> 01:15:19,829
Angel had another good comment here. TNT could

2147
01:15:19,829 --> 01:15:21,750
have put a few exclusive games on Max.

2148
01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:23,895
It's just like Amazon and he's right. Well,

2149
01:15:23,895 --> 01:15:26,375
but except they're putting a huge amount of

2150
01:15:26,375 --> 01:15:28,854
games on Amazon. Not not 3 games of

2151
01:15:28,854 --> 01:15:29,835
specialty programming.

2152
01:15:30,420 --> 01:15:32,179
I mean, the entire package is is gonna

2153
01:15:32,179 --> 01:15:33,939
be on Amazon with a lot of pre

2154
01:15:33,939 --> 01:15:35,079
and post stuff, etcetera.

2155
01:15:35,939 --> 01:15:37,539
As I don't agree with a lot of

2156
01:15:37,539 --> 01:15:39,460
stuff that comes out of Charles Barkley's mouth,

2157
01:15:39,460 --> 01:15:41,534
but read the fine print and they didn't

2158
01:15:41,534 --> 01:15:43,395
read the fine print. In fact, I think

2159
01:15:43,694 --> 01:15:45,954
this this thing may cost the CEO

2160
01:15:46,574 --> 01:15:48,354
of Warner Brothers his job.

2161
01:15:49,030 --> 01:15:50,949
Yeah. This this is huge. It's a huge

2162
01:15:50,949 --> 01:15:52,630
deal. Hey. Let's go to social media. We

2163
01:15:52,630 --> 01:15:54,070
got a bunch of comments over here as

2164
01:15:54,070 --> 01:15:55,885
well. And, here's another comment

2165
01:15:56,844 --> 01:15:57,877
screwing up here. How many people will stop

2166
01:15:57,877 --> 01:15:58,164
watching the NBA if there's no inside the

2167
01:15:58,164 --> 01:15:59,135
NBA? I don't watch too many games, but

2168
01:15:59,135 --> 01:16:00,224
I watch inside. I think the insiders,

2169
01:16:05,300 --> 01:16:06,979
I don't watch too many games, but I

2170
01:16:06,979 --> 01:16:09,619
watch inside. I think the insiders are gonna

2171
01:16:09,619 --> 01:16:12,179
wind up somewhere else. Bidding war, I'm sure

2172
01:16:12,179 --> 01:16:13,399
it's going on already.

2173
01:16:13,704 --> 01:16:15,965
And Barkley may say one thing on Monday.

2174
01:16:16,104 --> 01:16:18,104
I'll guarantee by Wednesday, say something else. And

2175
01:16:18,104 --> 01:16:19,944
by Friday, maybe he's gonna announce, we're going

2176
01:16:19,944 --> 01:16:21,465
over there. We're taking a whole team over

2177
01:16:21,465 --> 01:16:23,760
there. There will be a quote inside the

2178
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:24,260
NBA

2179
01:16:24,719 --> 01:16:26,719
on one of these other channels. Well, there's

2180
01:16:26,719 --> 01:16:28,800
always a new crop of guys that are

2181
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,639
gonna come up. I mean, like, Draymond Green,

2182
01:16:30,639 --> 01:16:31,944
people are saying is the next controversial, you

2183
01:16:31,944 --> 01:16:33,244
know, Charles Barkley.

2184
01:16:33,704 --> 01:16:34,375
Yeah. And I was watching that USA, Serbia

2185
01:16:34,375 --> 01:16:35,145
game. I think it was Dwayne Wade was

2186
01:16:35,145 --> 01:16:36,204
doing the color commentary.

2187
01:16:36,505 --> 01:16:38,505
Some people liked him. Some people did not

2188
01:16:38,505 --> 01:16:40,979
like him. Oh, I thought he was commentary.

2189
01:16:40,979 --> 01:16:43,060
Some people liked him, some people did not

2190
01:16:43,060 --> 01:16:44,739
like him. Oh, I thought he was awesome.

2191
01:16:44,739 --> 01:16:46,899
I mean, he really gave you some insight

2192
01:16:46,899 --> 01:16:49,300
of what those players are feeling, what they're

2193
01:16:49,300 --> 01:16:52,465
going through, and it it sounded like more

2194
01:16:52,845 --> 01:16:54,305
authentic than having

2195
01:16:54,685 --> 01:16:57,164
some, you know, glitzy, you know, guy behind

2196
01:16:57,164 --> 01:16:59,484
the the microphone. Yeah. A lot of people

2197
01:16:59,484 --> 01:16:59,984
thought

2198
01:17:00,510 --> 01:17:02,510
his insight was kinda cool because he played

2199
01:17:02,510 --> 01:17:04,850
the game so well. A lot of people

2200
01:17:04,909 --> 01:17:06,750
also thought that because I I I kinda

2201
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:09,045
checked social media. A lot of people thought,

2202
01:17:09,045 --> 01:17:11,765
oh, there was too much The brotherhood. No.

2203
01:17:11,765 --> 01:17:13,524
That's My my bro. That was the best

2204
01:17:13,524 --> 01:17:15,284
part of it. Okay. Yeah. No. You always

2205
01:17:15,284 --> 01:17:17,979
like French pastry. I understand that. Next question.

2206
01:17:18,060 --> 01:17:19,739
Let's go back to some Dodger comments. This

2207
01:17:19,739 --> 01:17:20,800
is from captain Jack.

2208
01:17:21,180 --> 01:17:23,579
They're doing it because Doc and Pryor are

2209
01:17:23,579 --> 01:17:26,625
working magic, and the bats keep saving them

2210
01:17:26,625 --> 01:17:29,685
in most games where we are absolutely outmatched

2211
01:17:29,744 --> 01:17:32,005
in pitching. They're overwhelmed in pitching.

2212
01:17:32,625 --> 01:17:34,220
And I think the most impressive thing to

2213
01:17:34,220 --> 01:17:36,220
me is how they have fast forward and

2214
01:17:36,220 --> 01:17:38,699
gotten all these kids out of Oklahoma City

2215
01:17:38,699 --> 01:17:39,199
ready

2216
01:17:39,739 --> 01:17:41,119
to step up and pitch.

2217
01:17:41,515 --> 01:17:43,354
I mean and the stage is not too

2218
01:17:43,354 --> 01:17:45,695
big. If you if you if you just

2219
01:17:46,155 --> 01:17:46,655
Google

2220
01:17:47,435 --> 01:17:49,774
Los Angeles dodger stats in 2024,

2221
01:17:50,690 --> 01:17:53,489
I think they have now had 33 different

2222
01:17:53,489 --> 01:17:53,989
pitchers

2223
01:17:55,170 --> 01:17:56,310
on their roster

2224
01:17:56,610 --> 01:17:59,329
this season. 33 different arms that prior has

2225
01:17:59,329 --> 01:18:00,390
had to get ready

2226
01:18:00,835 --> 01:18:02,675
for starts or come in and play the

2227
01:18:02,675 --> 01:18:03,975
role in the bullpen. Now,

2228
01:18:05,475 --> 01:18:07,314
none of them none of them have been

2229
01:18:07,314 --> 01:18:07,814
intimidated.

2230
01:18:08,659 --> 01:18:10,579
There's only one pitcher I think they finally

2231
01:18:10,579 --> 01:18:13,060
got rid of, Johan Ramirez, a young reliever

2232
01:18:13,060 --> 01:18:15,220
who just fell apart on the mound the

2233
01:18:15,220 --> 01:18:17,505
last couple weeks and they they d f

2234
01:18:17,505 --> 01:18:19,505
a'd him over the weekend. He got promptly

2235
01:18:19,505 --> 01:18:21,265
claimed by Boston, but he's the only one

2236
01:18:21,265 --> 01:18:22,965
of the young guys that said, he

2237
01:18:23,425 --> 01:18:24,564
doesn't belong here.

2238
01:18:24,949 --> 01:18:26,550
So I know I I think Roberts has

2239
01:18:26,550 --> 01:18:28,310
held the clubhouse together with a lot of

2240
01:18:28,310 --> 01:18:30,229
personalities and a lot of setbacks, and what

2241
01:18:30,229 --> 01:18:31,529
Pryor's been able to do

2242
01:18:31,909 --> 01:18:32,649
just to

2243
01:18:33,135 --> 01:18:34,515
amp these young pitchers

2244
01:18:34,895 --> 01:18:36,835
up had been pretty impressive and,

2245
01:18:37,295 --> 01:18:38,994
you know, if they could get everybody

2246
01:18:39,774 --> 01:18:41,960
back on the active roster between now

2247
01:18:42,260 --> 01:18:43,720
and September 25th,

2248
01:18:44,899 --> 01:18:46,420
on the on the pitching staff, you say,

2249
01:18:46,420 --> 01:18:47,619
wow. I mean, they got a lot of

2250
01:18:47,619 --> 01:18:49,545
arms but each of those arms comes

2251
01:18:49,845 --> 01:18:51,284
with a risk. I mean, Kershaw may have

2252
01:18:51,284 --> 01:18:52,904
pitched competitively first time,

2253
01:18:53,284 --> 01:18:54,965
but how's he gonna feel the second time

2254
01:18:54,965 --> 01:18:56,104
he throws? I mean,

2255
01:18:56,689 --> 01:18:58,689
you're babysitting him through 4 innings and hope

2256
01:18:58,689 --> 01:19:00,449
there's not a setback, then he's gotta throw

2257
01:19:00,449 --> 01:19:02,949
bullpens between starts, no setback there.

2258
01:19:03,385 --> 01:19:05,064
Can he amp it up and do max

2259
01:19:05,064 --> 01:19:06,664
effort a second time? And is there gonna

2260
01:19:06,664 --> 01:19:08,345
be a reaction? Because there always seems to

2261
01:19:08,345 --> 01:19:11,405
be reactions, especially with him him and Bueller.

2262
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:14,399
And Bobby Miller is throwing 93, 94 in

2263
01:19:14,399 --> 01:19:16,319
a rehab at Oklahoma City, but he's been

2264
01:19:16,319 --> 01:19:18,319
up twice and had setbacks twice and had

2265
01:19:18,319 --> 01:19:19,460
to go back. So,

2266
01:19:20,104 --> 01:19:22,104
gonna be fascinating to see what what they

2267
01:19:22,104 --> 01:19:24,204
get done in the next 55 days,

2268
01:19:24,585 --> 01:19:27,244
55 games. Well, you know, the the amazing

2269
01:19:27,304 --> 01:19:29,360
comment here from captain Jack that caught me

2270
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:29,979
by surprise

2271
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,500
is he's praising Dave Roberts. I mean, the

2272
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,279
overwhelming majority of people that are reacting to

2273
01:19:36,279 --> 01:19:38,380
the social media posts that we're doing

2274
01:19:38,744 --> 01:19:40,824
are were down on Dave Roberts. They think

2275
01:19:40,824 --> 01:19:42,984
they're winning in spite of his bad decisions.

2276
01:19:42,984 --> 01:19:44,904
Well, a lot of that, but, again, he's

2277
01:19:44,904 --> 01:19:47,090
doing with a piece of paper that comes

2278
01:19:47,090 --> 01:19:49,170
every day in the brown envelope, and the

2279
01:19:49,170 --> 01:19:51,810
analytics department says, we recommend you do this.

2280
01:19:51,810 --> 01:19:53,650
Mhmm. And he's gotta compound that with all

2281
01:19:53,650 --> 01:19:54,845
the bloody injuries. That's a big,

2282
01:20:01,324 --> 01:20:01,824
the

2283
01:20:03,739 --> 01:20:06,539
the DL, it's it's monstrously big. Like I've

2284
01:20:06,539 --> 01:20:08,699
said, I've been doing this a long time

2285
01:20:08,699 --> 01:20:10,539
as a talk show host and podcast host

2286
01:20:10,539 --> 01:20:12,060
and I write about it. I've never seen

2287
01:20:12,060 --> 01:20:14,475
a staff have 17 pitchers on the deal.

2288
01:20:14,614 --> 01:20:16,614
Well, remember a few years ago, the Padres

2289
01:20:16,614 --> 01:20:18,854
pitching staff imploded. Sure. And we were picking

2290
01:20:18,854 --> 01:20:20,900
guys up off the street, and and and

2291
01:20:20,900 --> 01:20:23,220
it was terrible. I mean, they couldn't keep

2292
01:20:23,220 --> 01:20:25,380
the team together. The team slipped out of

2293
01:20:25,380 --> 01:20:26,760
any potential contention.

2294
01:20:27,274 --> 01:20:29,034
It's incredible the Dodgers are holding us together.

2295
01:20:29,034 --> 01:20:30,954
I'm just lot of arms in the system.

2296
01:20:30,954 --> 01:20:33,034
They draft well. They develop well. Now they've

2297
01:20:33,034 --> 01:20:35,199
had some bad luck with injuries too. Wow.

2298
01:20:35,199 --> 01:20:37,199
Next question. Next question. This is a fun

2299
01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:38,960
one. This is about the Padres and your

2300
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:40,900
take on Ruben Niebla as the MVP.

2301
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,965
And this is from Buff Time. Is this

2302
01:20:44,345 --> 01:20:45,005
AI hacksaw?

2303
01:20:45,465 --> 01:20:48,185
No way he says something positive about Padre

2304
01:20:48,185 --> 01:20:50,204
baseball. I'm here for it.

2305
01:20:50,750 --> 01:20:52,529
I think Brittney Ebel has done an unbelievable

2306
01:20:52,670 --> 01:20:55,229
job. And I think Schult, despite the fact

2307
01:20:55,229 --> 01:20:57,569
he does not hold people publicly accountable,

2308
01:20:57,994 --> 01:20:59,755
I think has done a good job and

2309
01:20:59,755 --> 01:21:02,635
I think Preller knows talent. Now, how Preller

2310
01:21:02,635 --> 01:21:04,795
pays for the talent, what Preller does with

2311
01:21:04,795 --> 01:21:06,314
the talent that he gets that he moves

2312
01:21:06,314 --> 01:21:08,260
away. I have a responsibility

2313
01:21:08,639 --> 01:21:10,559
to you, the fan, to give you the

2314
01:21:10,559 --> 01:21:12,479
information and to have an opinion on the

2315
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:12,979
information.

2316
01:21:13,599 --> 01:21:15,984
It's not negative all the time, But at

2317
01:21:15,984 --> 01:21:17,045
the end of the day,

2318
01:21:17,585 --> 01:21:18,085
in

2319
01:21:18,545 --> 01:21:20,244
9 and a half years

2320
01:21:21,104 --> 01:21:23,204
of your general manners leadership,

2321
01:21:23,939 --> 01:21:25,560
your team is still sub 500.

2322
01:21:26,100 --> 01:21:28,100
Has the team been to the world series

2323
01:21:28,100 --> 01:21:30,279
yet on AJ Preller's era?

2324
01:21:30,739 --> 01:21:33,545
No. So I have to talk about that.

2325
01:21:33,545 --> 01:21:35,545
I have to call them out because I

2326
01:21:35,545 --> 01:21:37,625
firmly believe. I'm not making junk up. I'm

2327
01:21:37,625 --> 01:21:39,064
not saying things to get you on the

2328
01:21:39,064 --> 01:21:41,300
edge of their seat pissed. I'm just telling

2329
01:21:41,300 --> 01:21:43,139
you what I know. I'm telling you what

2330
01:21:43,139 --> 01:21:44,979
I think based on the knowledge I've dug

2331
01:21:44,979 --> 01:21:45,479
up

2332
01:21:45,859 --> 01:21:47,399
and what I see. So,

2333
01:21:48,114 --> 01:21:50,614
no. It's not AI. That's hacksaw being hacksaw.

2334
01:21:52,514 --> 01:21:54,739
Stop laughing. Yeah. So it you know, it's

2335
01:21:54,739 --> 01:21:57,300
funny is that both Dodger fans and Padre

2336
01:21:57,300 --> 01:21:59,380
fans on me. Always. Like, oh, he's so

2337
01:21:59,380 --> 01:22:01,619
negative. You know, you're just telling it like

2338
01:22:01,619 --> 01:22:03,320
it is. Like Howard Cosell.

2339
01:22:03,704 --> 01:22:04,984
Did you ever get to meet Howard Cosell?

2340
01:22:04,984 --> 01:22:06,425
I interviewed him a couple times. Tell me

2341
01:22:06,425 --> 01:22:08,185
about that. He kept him over spring training,

2342
01:22:08,185 --> 01:22:10,104
covered the Padres very early in my stay

2343
01:22:10,104 --> 01:22:11,465
in San Diego, and I went over there

2344
01:22:11,465 --> 01:22:13,520
and there he was. And I never crossed

2345
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,119
paths with a guy. I wouldn't ask to

2346
01:22:15,119 --> 01:22:17,199
do an interview, but, you know, Ted Williams,

2347
01:22:17,199 --> 01:22:17,699
whomever.

2348
01:22:18,159 --> 01:22:19,300
And Eris Cosell,

2349
01:22:20,159 --> 01:22:21,380
he was still at ABC.

2350
01:22:22,014 --> 01:22:24,414
And I grew up watching Cosell. Hell yeah.

2351
01:22:24,414 --> 01:22:25,935
I was a Long Island kid. He's a

2352
01:22:25,935 --> 01:22:27,554
New York lawyer, became a sportscaster.

2353
01:22:28,255 --> 01:22:30,114
I went up, I introduced myself,

2354
01:22:30,494 --> 01:22:30,994
and

2355
01:22:33,500 --> 01:22:36,220
he kinda knew my name. Hacksaw, where did

2356
01:22:36,220 --> 01:22:37,500
that come from? So I told him the

2357
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:38,000
story.

2358
01:22:38,539 --> 01:22:40,645
And so he always referred to me as

2359
01:22:40,805 --> 01:22:43,045
young man and you know, he was huge,

2360
01:22:43,045 --> 01:22:44,164
he was like 6 foot 4 and a

2361
01:22:44,164 --> 01:22:45,845
half, 6 5. He was a really big

2362
01:22:45,845 --> 01:22:47,784
man, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. So

2363
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:49,720
he said, young man, would you like me

2364
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:50,920
to sit in a dugout with you and

2365
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,000
do this interview? And he was great. He

2366
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,800
was so smart, so intelligent, so aerodite. He

2367
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:56,619
was just

2368
01:22:57,295 --> 01:22:57,795
phenomenal.

2369
01:22:58,175 --> 01:23:00,654
You remember Chet forty? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You

2370
01:23:00,654 --> 01:23:02,014
know, or a friend that worked with us

2371
01:23:02,014 --> 01:23:03,295
for a year at,

2372
01:23:03,930 --> 01:23:05,470
6.90 and Chet, of course, had been with

2373
01:23:06,489 --> 01:23:07,187
Monday night football. He worked with Cosell to

2374
01:23:07,187 --> 01:23:07,327
listen to Chet with his New York accent.

2375
01:23:07,327 --> 01:23:07,609
It was like listening to Howard with his

2376
01:23:07,609 --> 01:23:09,949
New York accent. And both of them,

2377
01:23:11,244 --> 01:23:13,244
was like listening to Howard with his New

2378
01:23:13,244 --> 01:23:13,984
York accent.

2379
01:23:14,284 --> 01:23:16,225
And both of them had unbelievable

2380
01:23:17,324 --> 01:23:20,284
opinions on anything and everything, and they would

2381
01:23:20,284 --> 01:23:23,390
tell you. But I laughed because he he

2382
01:23:23,390 --> 01:23:25,090
kept calling me young man.

2383
01:23:26,429 --> 01:23:28,750
You you know, the part about Cosell that

2384
01:23:28,750 --> 01:23:29,409
I love

2385
01:23:29,744 --> 01:23:32,385
is his relationship with Muhammad Ali. Mhmm. And

2386
01:23:32,385 --> 01:23:34,465
and and they would both give each other

2387
01:23:34,465 --> 01:23:36,405
a hard time, and they both

2388
01:23:44,704 --> 01:23:46,704
but, yeah, that the whole Muhammad Ali is

2389
01:23:46,704 --> 01:23:49,345
great. Yeah. Back in the day when when

2390
01:23:49,345 --> 01:23:50,404
Monday Night Football

2391
01:23:50,784 --> 01:23:53,350
first started taking off, I mean, it was

2392
01:23:53,350 --> 01:23:55,770
a huge event in the community

2393
01:23:56,229 --> 01:23:58,310
that the game was in. I remember the

2394
01:23:58,310 --> 01:24:00,314
early years I worked in Cleveland and the

2395
01:24:00,314 --> 01:24:02,155
browns are on a Monday night football game

2396
01:24:02,155 --> 01:24:03,935
and they would hold a luncheon,

2397
01:24:04,555 --> 01:24:06,574
a press conference and a big luncheon

2398
01:24:07,390 --> 01:24:09,550
on Monday at 12 noon before the game

2399
01:24:09,550 --> 01:24:12,689
that night at Cleveland's old municipal stadium and

2400
01:24:12,989 --> 01:24:13,569
and and and

2401
01:24:14,189 --> 01:24:16,050
Giff and Dandy Don

2402
01:24:16,385 --> 01:24:17,845
would all be on the dais

2403
01:24:18,385 --> 01:24:20,784
and the media would go up and ask

2404
01:24:20,784 --> 01:24:22,465
him questions. I mean, it was a huge

2405
01:24:22,704 --> 01:24:24,244
That's awesome. Freaking event.

2406
01:24:24,859 --> 01:24:27,260
And and Monday night football became must see

2407
01:24:27,260 --> 01:24:27,760
TV

2408
01:24:28,139 --> 01:24:30,460
because of the persona, not just the games,

2409
01:24:30,460 --> 01:24:31,600
but because of

2410
01:24:32,185 --> 01:24:34,525
Howard turning to Dandy Donner in the Q3

2411
01:24:34,664 --> 01:24:35,324
and say,

2412
01:24:35,864 --> 01:24:36,364
Dandy,

2413
01:24:36,824 --> 01:24:37,564
your turn.

2414
01:24:37,864 --> 01:24:40,185
Turn out the lights. The party is open

2415
01:24:40,185 --> 01:24:40,765
to Q3.

2416
01:24:41,460 --> 01:24:43,060
So What was it was like if your

2417
01:24:43,060 --> 01:24:44,979
team played on Monday night football, you were

2418
01:24:44,979 --> 01:24:46,979
legit. I mean, it was it was like,

2419
01:24:46,979 --> 01:24:48,659
yeah. You were got some, you know, street

2420
01:24:48,659 --> 01:24:49,159
cred.

2421
01:24:50,145 --> 01:24:52,885
But also remember Howard Cosell and John Lennon?

2422
01:24:53,024 --> 01:24:55,204
You know, not not just that he reported

2423
01:24:55,265 --> 01:24:57,520
his death on Monday Night Football, but the

2424
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,520
fact that they used to do things together

2425
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,659
on Monday Night Football. Mhmm. So Coasell is

2426
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:03,380
is unbelievable,

2427
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,804
you know, in sports history. And it's cool

2428
01:25:05,804 --> 01:25:08,204
that you're connected to him because you play

2429
01:25:08,204 --> 01:25:10,604
a part in sports history too. Young man.

2430
01:25:10,604 --> 01:25:12,704
He was actually funny. I'm trying to remember.

2431
01:25:12,789 --> 01:25:14,469
Harry Carey used to call me something. I

2432
01:25:14,469 --> 01:25:15,750
can't remember what the hell it was, and

2433
01:25:15,750 --> 01:25:16,789
I'm not sure I could put it on

2434
01:25:16,789 --> 01:25:18,489
the podcast. But Harry Carey.

2435
01:25:18,789 --> 01:25:20,774
Let's do one more here. Okay. Let's, let's

2436
01:25:20,854 --> 01:25:22,954
talk Yankees and Mets. This is from Paul.

2437
01:25:23,335 --> 01:25:25,734
He goes, oh, the Yankees hating goes way

2438
01:25:25,734 --> 01:25:27,034
back before Steinbrenner.

2439
01:25:27,494 --> 01:25:30,159
My dad, a Brooklyn Dodger fan, loathed the

2440
01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:32,479
bombers. He knew the yanks were able to

2441
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,439
defeat numerous superior dodger teams in the forties

2442
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,444
fifties. The Yankees and their fandom are hated

2443
01:25:38,444 --> 01:25:41,805
because they they're so lucky and successful with

2444
01:25:41,805 --> 01:25:44,364
27 world championships, 2 times as much as

2445
01:25:44,364 --> 01:25:45,149
second place,

2446
01:25:46,029 --> 01:25:48,590
which gives their fans an attitude that they

2447
01:25:48,590 --> 01:25:51,949
deserve they deserve it. Let's go Mets. Well,

2448
01:25:51,949 --> 01:25:53,755
the Mets Mets are trying to rebuild, and

2449
01:25:53,755 --> 01:25:55,994
they probably will. They'll be unbelievably active in

2450
01:25:55,994 --> 01:25:58,074
the winter in free agency, and I'll be

2451
01:25:58,074 --> 01:26:00,314
interested to see what happens between now and

2452
01:26:00,314 --> 01:26:02,814
6 PM in Yankee Stadium time on Tuesday

2453
01:26:03,180 --> 01:26:04,539
because they're gonna make a deal, they gotta

2454
01:26:04,539 --> 01:26:05,899
make a deal to go get a frontline

2455
01:26:05,899 --> 01:26:07,579
pitcher and I I think at the end

2456
01:26:07,579 --> 01:26:09,020
of the day, because we're run through the

2457
01:26:09,020 --> 01:26:10,960
litany list of guys that are there,

2458
01:26:11,364 --> 01:26:13,284
somebody's going to wind up with Tarek Skubal,

2459
01:26:13,284 --> 01:26:15,445
the Detroit ace left hander, the other one's

2460
01:26:15,445 --> 01:26:16,965
going to wind up with Jack Flaherty, the

2461
01:26:16,965 --> 01:26:19,364
right hander who's coming off injuries since had

2462
01:26:19,364 --> 01:26:21,840
a real unbelievable bounce back season.

2463
01:26:22,220 --> 01:26:23,820
I one might be a Yankee, one might

2464
01:26:23,820 --> 01:26:26,220
be a dodger, and then we'll see what

2465
01:26:26,220 --> 01:26:27,979
happens in the the last month and a

2466
01:26:27,979 --> 01:26:29,340
half of the season, and we'll see what

2467
01:26:29,340 --> 01:26:30,880
happens in free agency because

2468
01:26:31,324 --> 01:26:33,085
Yankees and Mets are probably both gonna be,

2469
01:26:33,085 --> 01:26:35,104
quote, players for Juan So to.

2470
01:26:35,484 --> 01:26:37,164
Yeah. And I think there there's a the

2471
01:26:37,164 --> 01:26:40,229
Blake Snell situation too is cooking. So, you

2472
01:26:40,229 --> 01:26:41,510
know, it's funny. It's like in the late

2473
01:26:41,510 --> 01:26:43,670
seventies, the Dodgers played the Yankees in the

2474
01:26:43,670 --> 01:26:45,909
World Series, and I was so conflicted as

2475
01:26:45,909 --> 01:26:47,655
a kid because I was a Giants fan

2476
01:26:47,655 --> 01:26:49,414
growing up, so I hated the Dodgers, but

2477
01:26:49,414 --> 01:26:51,895
then the Yankees were, like, you know, they

2478
01:26:51,895 --> 01:26:53,494
they were like the death star. They were

2479
01:26:53,494 --> 01:26:55,439
like the Darth Vader. And so I wasn't

2480
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,119
sure who to root for, but the those

2481
01:26:57,119 --> 01:26:59,279
Yankees teams with Reggie Jackson hitting 3 home

2482
01:26:59,279 --> 01:27:01,439
runs in the seventies in the world series,

2483
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,425
that was a special time. So was the

2484
01:27:03,425 --> 01:27:04,885
special Mano and Maris.

2485
01:27:05,265 --> 01:27:07,425
So was the special the Yankees in the

2486
01:27:07,425 --> 01:27:09,585
forties. So was the special of Bambino in

2487
01:27:09,585 --> 01:27:11,619
the twenties. Yeah. I mean, there is such

2488
01:27:11,619 --> 01:27:12,359
an unbelievable

2489
01:27:12,979 --> 01:27:13,479
tradition.

2490
01:27:14,100 --> 01:27:16,100
I mean, the the the first time I

2491
01:27:16,100 --> 01:27:17,699
went to a major league game, my dad

2492
01:27:17,699 --> 01:27:20,085
took me to Yankee Stadium to see my

2493
01:27:20,085 --> 01:27:22,164
Cleveland Indians. Because you were a Yankee hater.

2494
01:27:22,164 --> 01:27:22,664
Oh,

2495
01:27:23,204 --> 01:27:25,524
did not like Mantle Maris and Whitey Ford

2496
01:27:25,524 --> 01:27:26,885
and Yobe and they were they were so

2497
01:27:26,885 --> 01:27:29,010
great and first time I walked into Yankee

2498
01:27:29,010 --> 01:27:30,530
Stadium with my dad, I just stood there

2499
01:27:30,530 --> 01:27:32,770
in awe and I was floored at the

2500
01:27:32,770 --> 01:27:33,270
overhang

2501
01:27:34,289 --> 01:27:35,729
on the top of the stadium with a

2502
01:27:35,729 --> 01:27:36,229
white,

2503
01:27:36,954 --> 01:27:38,494
not trellis, what do you call that?

2504
01:27:39,034 --> 01:27:41,994
Oh, the facade? Facade. Yeah. Then and then

2505
01:27:41,994 --> 01:27:43,054
they had the monuments

2506
01:27:43,514 --> 01:27:45,810
out in center field against the wall and

2507
01:27:45,810 --> 01:27:47,350
I thought somebody was buried

2508
01:27:48,050 --> 01:27:50,289
beneath those monuments, Miller Huggins, you know, the

2509
01:27:50,289 --> 01:27:52,949
great Yankees of yesteryear. I thought the monuments

2510
01:27:53,565 --> 01:27:55,405
was where the bodies were buried. Well, those

2511
01:27:55,405 --> 01:27:57,244
are like they look like tombstones. Yeah. They

2512
01:27:57,244 --> 01:27:59,244
were. Exactly. But were they in they weren't

2513
01:27:59,244 --> 01:28:01,324
in play. They were. They were. Oh, yeah.

2514
01:28:01,324 --> 01:28:03,039
Like the ball could rattle around in there?

2515
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:04,880
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know. Game against the

2516
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:07,220
old Baltimore Orioles. Somebody hit a ball that

2517
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:09,619
got past the outfielder and went and ricocheted

2518
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:10,880
off the wall in the back of the

2519
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:11,380
monuments.

2520
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,354
Back they were tombstones.

2521
01:28:13,734 --> 01:28:15,895
Now they've moved them after they renovated Yankee

2522
01:28:15,895 --> 01:28:18,215
Stadium. Yeah. They moved them behind the wall

2523
01:28:18,215 --> 01:28:20,135
and they they have all the plaques there

2524
01:28:20,135 --> 01:28:22,270
now. But back in the day, when I

2525
01:28:22,270 --> 01:28:23,409
was an 8 year old,

2526
01:28:23,949 --> 01:28:26,350
they had 3 monuments in dead center field.

2527
01:28:26,350 --> 01:28:27,170
And I thought

2528
01:28:28,030 --> 01:28:30,215
Yankee legends were buried there. Because it was

2529
01:28:30,215 --> 01:28:32,454
Yankee Stadium. Because Yankee Stadium was like a

2530
01:28:32,454 --> 01:28:35,335
cathedral. It's like Donald Trump, burying his wives

2531
01:28:35,335 --> 01:28:37,034
on the golf course. No.

2532
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:38,960
I know when I was a little kid,

2533
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:40,640
I went to Candlestick Park for the first

2534
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,000
time, and I it was a day game,

2535
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,399
and it was actually decent weather. I was

2536
01:28:44,399 --> 01:28:47,685
just so overwhelmed at how green the grass

2537
01:28:47,685 --> 01:28:48,185
was.

2538
01:28:48,564 --> 01:28:50,965
And and on a blue sky day, it

2539
01:28:50,965 --> 01:28:54,164
was like it was everything was vibrant in

2540
01:28:54,164 --> 01:28:54,664
color

2541
01:28:55,189 --> 01:28:57,829
and experience. So those first trips to the

2542
01:28:57,829 --> 01:29:00,470
ballpark, that's a good time. Yeah. Coldest winter

2543
01:29:00,470 --> 01:29:02,229
day I ever spent was watching a game

2544
01:29:02,229 --> 01:29:05,074
at Candlestick Park in the summer. In the

2545
01:29:05,074 --> 01:29:07,314
summer. It was brutal, man. I'm telling you.

01:30:18,195 --> 01:30:19,494
