WEBVTT

00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:12.359
Okay, here we are on July 10th, 2025. Bristol

00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.960
boys back in the studio. Angry Jay got to wash

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.160
his car. I noticed when I pulled up, the dying

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.440
father made us take our shoes off on the way

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.719
in. We're all sitting on the floor. We're expecting

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.519
a return of Lottie tonight. Crocker is here.

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.899
Who's that? Studio engineer extraordinaire, Kevin

00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:30.239
Ross, bringing his special guest, brother Jim

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.600
Ross, straight out of DC. Looking for those guys

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.200
to chime in, but they're in the background right

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.619
now. Hit us up on Twitter and Instagram. Main

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:40.399

of the summer. Pink Lemonade, Skygazer, check

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.359
it out. Let's start with everybody's most important

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.880
and favorite topic. Thanks Two and a half back

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.979
just dropped a four pack to the Jays great weekend

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:07.459
Everything seems to be working. Well It could

00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:09.299
have been the jump the shark moment of the season.

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.340
Maybe I think it might be over I feel like angry

00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.739
Jay, but it's not getting better Stanton comes

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:18.239
back we get worse and They finally after two

00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.060
years of having to cut DJ Lemay who cut ties

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:27.540
with him this week. Guys, I'm talking out of

00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:29.319
both sides of my mouth. I wanted it to happen

00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.480
for two years, even though I loved the player.

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.400
I'm almost mad that they're doing it now where

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.950
they need some kind of clubhouse guy. Any thoughts

00:01:38.950 --> 00:01:42.170
on that? I know Jeffy, you don't care. Croc.

00:01:42.670 --> 00:01:45.769
Angry Jay, talk to me about LeMahieu. I called

00:01:45.769 --> 00:01:48.150
you yesterday, I can't even get my head around

00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:52.409
it. I was going off on Twitter. So I'm kind of

00:01:52.409 --> 00:01:58.769
like you. It had to happen. What I don't like

00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:01.609
is Yankee fans piling on him. And it's a typical

00:02:01.609 --> 00:02:04.629
Yankee organization move because they wait until

00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:08.090
everything's going wrong. they're they're complete

00:02:08.090 --> 00:02:12.550
ass and now they're gonna cut him and Everybody's

00:02:12.550 --> 00:02:14.909
just piles on him. Like he's the reason they're

00:02:14.909 --> 00:02:18.729
losing like He's been terrible you know, and

00:02:18.729 --> 00:02:21.509
he's probably his career is probably over near

00:02:21.509 --> 00:02:25.569
the end, but Like just the way they do it like

00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:28.189
why can't they release him when they're playing

00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:31.490
fairly well? Cuz it's not like he was you know

00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:34.250
and If you're noticing in his last 10 games,

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:38.650
he was hitting over 300. So he's the scapegoat.

00:02:39.189 --> 00:02:42.750
But their favorite thing is to do is like, well,

00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:44.550
he didn't want to play third base. They asked

00:02:44.550 --> 00:02:47.090
him what position he'd rather play. And he's

00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:49.349
played second base his whole career, basically.

00:02:49.909 --> 00:02:54.669
So he said, second base. And Jazz, who was playing

00:02:54.669 --> 00:02:57.780
third, Apparently can't throw the ball now or

00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:59.419
something. So they have to put him at second

00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:02.139
base and they're trying to make him a wall He

00:03:02.139 --> 00:03:03.860
doesn't want to play third base. He came out

00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.360
said I'll play it instead of getting released

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.800
gamer He said I'll play how ass backwards is

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.719
Did they trade for him or they signed him? They

00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.560
signed it. So they sign it on a batting title

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.400
They sign an all -star batting champion from

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:20.879
the National League, too. Didn't he win there?

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.219
They sign an all -star batting champion second

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:26.599
baseman they don't start them opening day and

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.699
since then he's played first second and third

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:32.219
yeah then we traded for jazz a lifelong second

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:34.219
base when we play him at third you think we got

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:36.719
stuff backwards yeah and now we got peraza playing

00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.020
third and he's a shortstop and by the way i could

00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:42.319
actually see the move like if peraza was doing

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.520
anything but he hits worse than lameu does so

00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.639
i'd rather see vivaz to be honest with you i

00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.879
mean we had to hang up he's playing tonight he's

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.729
playing tonight vivaz Another thing but we're

00:03:53.729 --> 00:03:56.270
gonna march Volpe out there every day. I love

00:03:56.270 --> 00:04:00.909
it. I mean and it's 215 batting average Like

00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:03.210
how long does he get like is he Ronnie James

00:04:03.210 --> 00:04:05.870
here? Yes. No, he's not they're not taking them

00:04:05.870 --> 00:04:08.129
out like yeah I mean you see Casper talking yesterday.

00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:12.229
Why I? Don't have an answer for you. They said

00:04:12.229 --> 00:04:13.550
they're sticking with them. They don't have an

00:04:13.550 --> 00:04:15.409
answer because they don't have a replacement

00:04:15.409 --> 00:04:20.230
Because Paraz is the replacement and he can't

00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:22.699
hit his weight And they got him playing third.

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.740
They don't have an answer. Put Stanton there.

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:27.199
I mean, we put everybody else out of position.

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:29.600
Throw him up. He can hurt his elbow. Stanton

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.740
can't run. Freaking guy. Tennis elbow. Freaking

00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:38.259
guy. Jesus. He's only got two years left on this

00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:40.100
contract. Shut up. Yanks are going to make the

00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:42.779
wild card. It's fine. Them and the Red Sox. They

00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:45.199
will make the wild card. Yankees will make. Can

00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.279
you explain to me another like like another sport

00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.870
where you get. A specialist. Baseball, they're

00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:54.009
specialists, right? I mean, I know when you play

00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:55.569
high school baseball, you got to be a baseball

00:04:55.569 --> 00:04:57.430
player. You should be able to play. You should

00:04:57.430 --> 00:05:01.389
be able to play pitcher, catcher, short and center

00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:05.209
field. Right. But just crack it in you. I mean,

00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:08.370
if we're going to do that. So how do you get

00:05:08.370 --> 00:05:12.430
a specialist who is comfortable playing a position

00:05:12.430 --> 00:05:17.050
and play him in a different position? What are

00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:19.089
we doing? They don't have roles. I think the

00:05:19.089 --> 00:05:20.949
team doesn't have, they don't have roles for

00:05:20.949 --> 00:05:22.870
half the players. Is that a manager? Is that

00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:24.970
a manager? Is that a management? It's the buffoon

00:05:24.970 --> 00:05:27.029
that runs though. Yeah. Are the Blazers going

00:05:27.029 --> 00:05:30.490
to play the Charger? Yeah. If Cashman was the

00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:32.290
general manager. Yeah. So it's a stay hat cash

00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:35.870
issue. Oh, he's, he is so bad, dude. He is so,

00:05:36.410 --> 00:05:40.970
like, look at Dominguez. He's a center fielder.

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.639
All through the minor leagues, he plays left

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.500
field. When he plays, I lead him off the rest

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:48.120
of it. How about Judge? We had Soto last year,

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.300
Judge plays center. Now he's back in right and

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:53.079
he can't play center. Ballinger plays right,

00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:56.480
left, center. Nobody has a role. Nobody bats.

00:05:57.459 --> 00:06:01.279
And he's the first baseman. Yesterday, yes. And

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.220
yesterday was the first time that they played

00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.050
the same lineup, back -to -back nights. Since

00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:08.930
April. We got to go back to the math lab. We

00:06:08.930 --> 00:06:10.790
got to fix that. We can't keep doing that. Dominguez

00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:14.069
gets three hits in a walk and five plate appearances.

00:06:14.750 --> 00:06:17.230
Batting first and he's batting six the next night.

00:06:18.910 --> 00:06:21.029
The math department makes out the lineup. It

00:06:21.029 --> 00:06:24.790
doesn't work. But we'll get more and more of

00:06:24.790 --> 00:06:27.839
it. We'll get a couple of milling relievers.

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:30.100
They're they compared him to Mike trout for how

00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:32.620
many years since he was 15 or whatever Now we're

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.560
just yanking him around too. Yeah, they don't

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.639
develop players Mike trout my boy. I'll relax

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.519
Word about the bullpen. They don't have one.

00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.660
They could look good last night though, didn't

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:48.740
he? Shittler our sheet leader. How do you his

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.980
name? Yeah. Yeah, he actually did look decent.

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:55.680
I had a wall pole mess Throw 100 miles an hour,

00:06:55.779 --> 00:06:58.720
but yeah. I bet he likes the movie To Town. Great

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.620
movie. All right, one more thing about DJ, and

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:04.899
we'll move on to some other baseball. Let me

00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:08.220
ask you, how are you with that? With what part?

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:11.519
The way they released him. Well, I called you

00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.279
yesterday because I was pissed. I couldn't hear

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.560
you. I was in my house. I don't understand why

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.579
they would do it then. That's exactly my point.

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.839
I mean, they got a lot of young guys, maybe.

00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:26.199
But then where's he, I don't know, cause Jazz

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.060
is gonna play second. That's fine, can't they

00:07:28.060 --> 00:07:30.779
wait till they win a few games and do a little.

00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:34.060
So here's part of how I feel about it. Does he

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:35.980
get picked up? That's my next thing. I think

00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:38.899
he's gonna resurface. Not only somewhere, but

00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:40.620
I think he's going to resurface somewhere just

00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:42.920
for this season. And that that's going to haunt

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.180
us. And my first fear is the Red Sox were playing

00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:48.300
a little over 500 ball with a bunch of kids.

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.420
And you know what those young kids need? Somebody

00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:52.939
like that around. Yeah, that was proved. He wasn't

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:55.819
that guy. Right. The other one that worries me

00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:59.959
is right up to Toronto. Yeah, play a couple of

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:02.600
days a week. I definitely think somebody will

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:03.959
pick them up. I don't think it'll be the Red

00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.500
Sox. They're all in on punching. My third thing

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:10.699
is Dodgers are scuffling. You know, do they grab

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:15.300
a clubhouse guy? Mookie loves them. They got

00:08:15.300 --> 00:08:17.620
a million guys, so. Fine. All right, my last

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:20.259
one is this. I can see Toronto. My last one is

00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:22.740
this, like, who's the worst team, like, right

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:25.639
now and possibly in the last 20, 30 years? The

00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.230
Rockies. Where'd he come from? Yeah, so one of

00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:30.029
these, you know, finish the season out and try

00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:33.399
to revitalize that Albatross of an organization,

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:35.019
maybe just goes there. That would be fine with

00:08:35.019 --> 00:08:36.419
me because he's not gonna haunt us. Because they

00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:38.980
have a minor league into Britain anymore. Exactly.

00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.419
Anyway, we got questions. We got problems. I

00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:44.980
got a question since you mentioned questions,

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.779
and we always mention Trout. It's kind of like

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:48.659
we have to mention him every time we do a podcast.

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.559
You do. Two days last night. He's my boy. He's

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.419
on fire. It's up to 231 this season now, by the

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:58.080
way. 15 homers. So take the three players. Trout,

00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:00.500
Bryce Harper, Machado. I don't know if there

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.080
was some, I read something about it today as

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.779
somebody was talking about it. So if you had

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:05.860
to rank them all, career, they all started in

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:08.600
2012, time frame. Career batting average, who

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:12.720
has the highest? One of those three. That's a

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:17.340
good question. Machado just got his 2 ,000th

00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:19.539
hit, so I would say him. Nope. No, I would go

00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:24.480
Harper. Is it really? Machado and Harper are

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.700
tied, exact same average, 280 career. Travis

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:30.240
294. So you mentioned hits. So does he have the

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.759
most hits Machado out of those three? Yes. Yes,

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.980
it's not even close. He's got 300 more than the

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:37.820
other two. I got I got a question at the end

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:41.019
of this fight. Home runs out of the three. I

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:43.960
will say this was the closest. This was the closest,

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.240
but it was trout. There are. Do you have the

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.480
totals? I would say trout was on her for hunt

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.659
just on her for Machado's like three fifty three

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:56.080
fifty seven three forty six. Harpers last no

00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.179
one runs. Okay, RBI's I got two more RBI's and

00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:02.340
stone bases RBI's. It's gotta be Trout right?

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:06.139
Again Trout? Machado? Alright he's a machine.

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.159
Trout's last. Really? Machado was an RBI machine.

00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:12.059
Machado's got more than... Machado's got 11 .02,

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:15.759
10 .11 and then 9 .90 for Trout. What's the next

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:22.879
one? Trout. And stone bases. Trout. I would go

00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.659
Trout too, because he stole a lot. He's got a

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:28.320
pretty good gap on that, but I was surprised.

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:30.480
Manny gotta be last, right? Yes, I would go.

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.419
Stolen bases, Manny annual, he's 107. Was he

00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:35.279
still in second when him and Pedroia got into

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.919
that thing? Yes, I remember that. I got a better

00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.539
one for you. So at the end of this. Why is it

00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:46.220
better? Well, a better question. You're one -upping

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:49.519
him? Yeah, at the end of it, end of their careers.

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:53.259
Who you gonna think had the best career Harper

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:57.340
Machado I agree. I'm gonna go Machado too. I

00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:00.120
think I think try would be second and then Harper

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.919
Charlie has three MEPs though, you know, but

00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.379
like We just said Machado hit 2 ,000. He's got

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:12.600
a legit shot at 3 ,000. It's somebody needs another

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:19.600
Yeah Harper got two right Harper one, I think

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:23.519
We're ready window that I miss this when he wasn't

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.100
with the Nationals in Washington, right? Was

00:11:25.100 --> 00:11:35.080
he do I thought? Because Soto was that was Soto's

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.679
rookie year. He has zero opera zero But he's

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.940
still in a place that wants to win. Yeah, I mean

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:45.259
there's that yeah But I like Machado plays, you

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:48.450
know trout ain't getting one Exactly much auto

00:11:48.450 --> 00:11:50.690
puts 150 games every year like he has a legit

00:11:50.690 --> 00:11:54.549
shot at 500 home runs and 3 ,000 hits I hated

00:11:54.549 --> 00:11:57.169
him. He has 350 thousand hits is gonna be he's

00:11:57.169 --> 00:12:00.090
got 357. He's got like eight years on his contract

00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:03.470
still He just turned well, he just turned 33

00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:06.809
First turning 33 this month four more good years

00:12:07.599 --> 00:12:09.700
Mean good years in a couple little chip away

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:11.860
who holds that he's gonna. I'm telling you he'll

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.440
he'll legit make it run at 3 ,000 So how many

00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.799
players have you talked about 3 ,000 and 500

00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.440
so if you think he'll be a 500 3 ,000 guy Machado

00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.220
I Do gonna be close. Yeah, I do how many are

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:30.220
there Six seven maybe six seven That's what all

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:31.679
the kids say, I don't know what it means. Yes,

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.259
I know. Do they really hear that? I don't even

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:35.059
know what they're talking about. They don't hear

00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:36.860
either. Well, crack, have you ever heard them

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:40.720
say it? Yeah. So by the way, so oddly enough,

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:42.879
there are seven. I can't believe I just said

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.259
that. Can you name all seven? Eddie Murray, Willie

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:50.600
Mays. All seven, Mac. Hank Aaron. Winfield? No,

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.100
he didn't have 500 home runs. So you got Aaron

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:58.309
Mays, Murray. Bonds? No, I just have 3 ,000 heads.

00:12:58.649 --> 00:13:01.429
3 ,000 heads. 3 ,000 heads. This is terrible.

00:13:01.509 --> 00:13:04.990
You normal? I have them written down. Just give

00:13:04.990 --> 00:13:10.509
them to us. No, no. How about a team? Yankees?

00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:17.950
Demagio? No. No, reset. Everybody here has played

00:13:17.950 --> 00:13:21.519
since 80, after 80. Really? Oh, the last four

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.120
of all played since 1980, Palmeiro. You shouldn't

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.000
count. Three of them played in the last seven

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.519
years, or at least finished in the last seven

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.220
years. They're the three, the final three. I

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:35.580
can't believe it. Two of them should be obvious.

00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.740
A -Rod. A -Rod. One more should be obvious. All

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:42.139
should be obvious. Oh yeah, you saw the last

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.840
time we were on the show. Griffey didn't get

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.990
3 ,000 hits today? No. No. Who you got? Pujols.

00:13:49.470 --> 00:13:51.789
Yeah, only hit 700. Last one I thought was the

00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:56.019
hardest one, Tigers. Miggy? Yep. I thought him

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:58.759
and Murray were the hardest ones to get. I wouldn't

00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.059
think of Eddie Murray when I thought of it, even

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:02.019
though I know he did it. Ridiculous. I wanted

00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:03.779
to talk about the Sox, but now that we're in

00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:05.639
this kind of rut right here, I want to keep going

00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.440
with this. The wild card winning Boston Red Sox

00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.159
right now with Bregman coming back, right? And

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.879
Yoshida's back, right? We'll probably trade them.

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:25.490
Yoshida's back too? 750? Who does that? So a

00:14:25.490 --> 00:14:27.870
guy we've mentioned a lot. He's an electric player.

00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:30.490
This is the state of baseball right now. An electric

00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:32.990
player. One of the fan favorites in the major

00:14:32.990 --> 00:14:38.250
leagues. Ellie Dela Cruz has just passed Tony

00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:42.240
Gwyn and his stat already. I saw that. You know

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.379
what it is? More strikeouts? Yeah. Yeah. That's

00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:48.120
amazing. It took Ellie 319 games, what it took

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.539
Gwyn 2 ,444 games to do. Stay hot. Are you freaking

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:54.559
kidding me? That's amazing. Baseball's in good

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.460
hands right now. They've really got it down.

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.419
What I'll call the Jeter era, but basically from

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:03.460
I think 92 or three to about 2009. Career batting

00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:08.899
average in the low 260s. Okay. Yeah. For the

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:13.220
average Major League. Last year, 243, 17 points

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:17.139
lower. If you go back to the 30s and 40s, the

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:24.120
average was 270, Jesus, was 270. I mean, 270

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.480
-ish. These guys can't hit. Different era, I

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.000
mean, I agree with the teaching. When you say

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.480
different, do you mean better? What, this era?

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:39.019
When you say that was a different era, How many

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.779
guys throwing 100 miles an hour now? How many

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:42.240
are throwing 100 miles per hour? There's over

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.240
a million relief pitchers. I'll get on that too.

00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:47.220
With the guys throwing 100 miles an hour, here's

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:51.799
what's happened. To many kids that I know, a

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.360
surgery that they have to get where they're out

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:57.100
from a throwing standpoint for about 16 months.

00:15:57.539 --> 00:16:01.539
Clark Schmidt. Clark Schmidt is one. And this

00:16:01.539 --> 00:16:03.919
is trickled down into young kids is you have

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.019
to throw a max effort pitch every time you throw

00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:09.419
the ball, even from in January. And eventually,

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.340
the unnatural motion of the arm, you know, that

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:17.220
your body can't keep up and you do the UCL up.

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:21.360
When we were in our, you know, late 80s, early

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.580
90s, so like high school, beginning college,

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.860
stuff like that, how many people did you know,

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.580
friends or friends of friends, people you played

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:32.659
against or with that got Tommy John? Zero. Zero.

00:16:32.820 --> 00:16:35.230
Yeah, none. I had heard of one of them. Tommy

00:16:35.230 --> 00:16:38.750
freaking John, okay? Now every high school program

00:16:38.750 --> 00:16:40.610
has somebody that's getting time. What the freak

00:16:40.610 --> 00:16:44.230
is that? So when we talk about errors, how about

00:16:44.230 --> 00:16:46.889
this? Everyone's gotta throw their hardest every

00:16:46.889 --> 00:16:50.149
single pitch, right? So is the pitching better

00:16:50.149 --> 00:16:52.029
now that they all throw 100 miles an hour? No,

00:16:52.190 --> 00:16:56.409
it sucks. And last year, 2024, there were 28

00:16:56.409 --> 00:16:58.769
complete games in the big leagues. Yeah, it's

00:16:58.769 --> 00:17:04.720
kind of stupid. In 19, in 2009, the end of what

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:09.579
I was calling the Jeter era, in 2009, there were

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:15.359
142 complete games. In 1985, which is, is that

00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.660
the Mets in the Sox? No, that's 86. With strawberries,

00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.819
maybe rookie year 85, you know, like that. Because

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:25.880
rookie year was 83. Yeah, okay. But anyway, that

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:32.289
era, 627 complete games. And these wusses that

00:17:32.289 --> 00:17:34.789
can now throw harder than Superman, they can't

00:17:34.789 --> 00:17:36.849
last more than five innings? Well, part of it

00:17:36.849 --> 00:17:38.349
is the math department. The hell is that? It's

00:17:38.349 --> 00:17:39.869
all the stats. It's all the math department.

00:17:39.990 --> 00:17:41.609
So I'm saying this era is ruined. They don't

00:17:41.609 --> 00:17:44.329
let guys pitch the third timer. Like a lot of

00:17:44.329 --> 00:17:47.069
the guys don't, they don't let them pitch. Like

00:17:47.069 --> 00:17:49.910
the aces, like Gary Coulson, like when he pitched

00:17:49.910 --> 00:17:52.119
for... When I saw Yoni, he never pitched more

00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.140
than seven innings. Yeah, but these coaches are

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:56.019
all now scientists. So Garrett Cole, his whole

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:58.599
life was probably pitching at, in January 15th

00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.339
in some indoor cage. And the guys were working

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:04.640
on his mechanics, and he got these funny instruments

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.059
to help strengthen his body. And he's not pitching

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:13.029
right now, as we know, and we know why. But when

00:18:13.029 --> 00:18:15.230
we were that age, did you know anyone who went

00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:17.789
inside to some batting cage with some hero coach

00:18:17.789 --> 00:18:20.809
that the parents are paying $150 an hour? And

00:18:20.809 --> 00:18:23.069
did your friend learn how to throw their hardest

00:18:23.069 --> 00:18:25.329
every single pitch? No. Did you ever see some

00:18:25.329 --> 00:18:28.130
of those videos? The kids like crow hop. They're

00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.650
like winding up just to see how hard they can

00:18:29.650 --> 00:18:32.519
throw it. They're like running down like a mountain.

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:35.259
So what did people do back when they didn't get

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:37.920
hurt? They threw long before the game. They pitched.

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:40.319
And they threw 150 pitches when they started.

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:42.859
Well, Nolan Ryan, he threw 100 miles an hour.

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:45.779
Yeah. And the game was a complete game. And when

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:49.839
you lost your last baseball game, unless you

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.619
live in Thomaston, you would go play football.

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.559
We hadn't played soccer or ran cross country.

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:56.559
You never played again. Yeah. I mean, I played

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.900
a little. A heck of a lot of baseball for somebody

00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:00.880
that didn't go very far, and so did you, Jay.

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.160
And how many times did you play a game in the

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.400
fall, even as an adult? Not many. Less than 10?

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.559
Yeah. Kids play all year. These guys play all

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.779
freaking years. They're all specialists. Not

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:13.019
good for the arms. So anyway. I've got to believe

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:15.319
90 % of the kids in high school who are playing

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.519
varsity baseball only play varsity baseball.

00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:23.280
50 % made no other sports? No other sports. No,

00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:25.359
because they don't, they wouldn't even fit in

00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.140
the other sports because they can't wear sunglasses

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:32.480
on the top of their head or back. And hair coming

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.019
out the back of their freaking. All right, go

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:36.599
ahead. But the North thing, he's saying like

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.000
Kevin said, that's kind of stinks. I mean, how

00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:40.779
many games do they play? They play 20 games.

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:43.640
High school, this is not like Florida where they're

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.339
playing 30, 40 games in high school. But those

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:48.900
20 games were like your life. Yeah, but I'm just

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:52.359
saying like they're only playing one sport. or

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.640
20 games like how oh no jay his point is with

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.920
that how often does the guy pitch he's throwing

00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.839
six games a year 200 games that seat that that

00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.140
calendar year because he's on a travel team somewhere

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:07.640
is but it goes from that to spring summer au

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.980
to fall au so it's not the 20 high school games

00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:15.619
it's the other 180 screw screw hey you without

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:20.230
a doubt Anyhow someone was we were I was just

00:20:20.230 --> 00:20:21.930
we were flying home people were talking about

00:20:21.930 --> 00:20:24.509
sports and The thing they were talking about

00:20:24.509 --> 00:20:26.549
with baseball is like it's the most expensive

00:20:26.549 --> 00:20:29.329
sport to play now It shouldn't be because literally

00:20:29.329 --> 00:20:34.450
a baseball glove last you a decade And you know

00:20:34.450 --> 00:20:40.170
we used to share bats change the rules for next

00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:43.390
year that bat me know or it'll be it's dead dad

00:20:43.390 --> 00:20:47.920
so That plus the backpack plus the team they

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.400
have to be on. It's it's not that and that's

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.160
why. Kids from the inner cities and different

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.500
kids aren't playing baseball in this country.

00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.240
It's this country has become very. I would have

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.539
guessed hockey to be honest. Yeah, hockey is

00:21:03.539 --> 00:21:06.430
right there too, but that's read smaller. Do

00:21:06.430 --> 00:21:08.450
you remember the bat bag that was like it had

00:21:08.450 --> 00:21:11.490
leather on the ends and it was nylon? Yeah, and

00:21:11.490 --> 00:21:13.430
it was two freshmen's job to make sure that thing

00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:16.470
out there dug out and in the AD and our coach

00:21:16.470 --> 00:21:18.269
had to make sure that there was at least two

00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:22.210
bats purchased a nice 32 and a nice 36 and if

00:21:22.210 --> 00:21:25.769
you were rich you had your own Right now every

00:21:25.769 --> 00:21:28.970
single kid from tee ball up two back two bats

00:21:28.970 --> 00:21:33.289
in a backpack cleats on the top of those Turfs

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:37.720
Like this is a this is a rotten baseball era

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.980
and I'll admit don't get me don't stop it and

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:47.559
then the heckling J like Like the worst players

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:49.680
have like the most insulting heckles like they

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.240
want to Like they would never say to a person

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.539
face to face like the mall, you know what? You

00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:56.680
mean? Yeah, but they could hide behind you can't

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:58.380
go to the mall anymore They could hide behind

00:21:58.380 --> 00:22:02.259
the Oakley's and yell this stupid stuff Ask the

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:04.059
commish. We missed the commish. I saw a great

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:06.019
interview today about, and you Yankees fans will

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:10.220
appreciate it. It was by Mike Lowell. And he

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:12.099
said the most dominating pitching performance

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:15.299
he's ever seen was game six of 2003. They were

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:18.660
talking about best pitching. They said Josh,

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.359
he goes, he goes, I was so glad I wasn't, I never

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.680
had to face him. He goes. He was so good. He

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.339
goes, that was the best, one of the best lineups

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:28.299
he's ever seen. Three days rest. And he goes,

00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:30.259
they had no, he goes, guys like Bernie Williams

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:32.160
who contacted him was phenomenal. He goes, they

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.039
had zero chance. I was watching the highlights

00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:35.980
day just because it was the Yankees. So I wanted

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:39.440
to see them striking out. The last out was. Well

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.140
said. He goes, I've never seen hitters look like

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:44.160
defeated before they went up to the plate saying

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.279
that day, nobody was going to hit that guy. I

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.660
mean, he was good for the Red Sox. He was never

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:52.109
that guy, but he was. You know how deep into

00:22:52.109 --> 00:22:54.170
the game they let him pitch right now? He pitched

00:22:54.170 --> 00:22:55.829
a shutout that game, right? The whole game, right?

00:22:55.829 --> 00:22:57.349
He pitched like a three -hit shutout, yeah. But

00:22:57.349 --> 00:22:58.950
you know how deep the Yankees would let him go

00:22:58.950 --> 00:23:01.190
if he had that kind of stuff going? He'd go six

00:23:01.190 --> 00:23:05.289
strong, maybe 6 .1. 90 pitches, right? Oh, yeah,

00:23:05.349 --> 00:23:07.009
clicker. Whatever the clicker says, you're out

00:23:07.009 --> 00:23:09.690
of there. Six and one batter into the seventh.

00:23:11.289 --> 00:23:14.049
This next episode brought to you by Sky Geyser

00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:16.750
Brewing. Pink lemonade shandy. Enjoy it at your

00:23:16.750 --> 00:23:21.109
local golf course. Jeffy. Yes. Baseball trivia.

00:23:21.710 --> 00:23:24.190
I've had a couple, but I'm going to ask another

00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:27.170
one because I was watching somebody who's active

00:23:27.170 --> 00:23:31.190
right now raking one yesterday. And it's the

00:23:31.190 --> 00:23:33.930
only player in major league history that has

00:23:33.930 --> 00:23:36.150
80 home runs and 50 stolen bases in their first

00:23:36.150 --> 00:23:41.490
300 games. Shit. 80 home runs, 50 stolen bases,

00:23:41.630 --> 00:23:46.250
first 300 games. Delafruz doesn't have 80 home

00:23:46.250 --> 00:23:52.470
runs yet, so. Mookie. Nope, he's National League,

00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:56.890
active today. Still on the younger side. Younger

00:23:56.890 --> 00:24:01.130
side, so he's not young. Tatis, boom. Tatis,

00:24:01.210 --> 00:24:03.289
boom. You know what I was gonna say about Machado

00:24:03.289 --> 00:24:06.630
before was. Shouldn't count. Why? He's a PED

00:24:06.630 --> 00:24:08.589
guy. Asterix, Asterix next to it. He's a PED

00:24:08.589 --> 00:24:11.809
guy. All right, so. That's one of the reasons

00:24:11.809 --> 00:24:14.829
I like Machado is he told off to tease it one

00:24:14.829 --> 00:24:16.970
of those times he was tantruming or making it

00:24:16.970 --> 00:24:19.029
about himself You know, I kind of didn't like

00:24:19.029 --> 00:24:21.190
Machado for different reasons. You've hated him.

00:24:21.390 --> 00:24:24.809
Yeah previous. Yeah. Yeah, but You know, I respect

00:24:24.809 --> 00:24:26.609
that. He did act like a jackass in a couple of

00:24:26.609 --> 00:24:28.470
those were. I do have another good one. Somebody

00:24:28.470 --> 00:24:30.529
slid into him. I might have asked this last time

00:24:30.529 --> 00:24:33.369
to stop me if I did. I probably did. Smart move

00:24:33.369 --> 00:24:37.769
here. Smart move, Jeffy. I agree. The only player

00:24:37.769 --> 00:24:40.579
to hit their 500th home run in a match uniform.

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:45.119
George what? No, he didn't. So listen to that

00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.240
question closely. 500th home run while in a Mets

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.900
uniform. Carlisle still got now. I would have

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:53.900
never, you guys know way more than me about sports.

00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:56.319
Rusty? Never would have guessed. He's not a catcher.

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:59.460
Oh. I think I know what's his name. Piazza? Yeah.

00:24:59.660 --> 00:25:03.279
He didn't hit five, didn't he? Oh man, what a

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.019
great question. The majority of his career was

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:06.220
not as a New York Met, obviously. Definitely

00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:09.579
not as a Met, yeah. Beltran couldn't have 500.

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.400
I'll give you one other team he played on that

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:21.819
helps. Yankees. Good family lineage. Nephews,

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:26.960
uncles, cousins, you know. Wow. He played for,

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:28.839
I think he played for the Tigers. Sheffield.

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:33.920
Boom. He did play on a lot of teams, right? I

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:35.980
don't know how with them. Yeah, but it was the

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:37.660
match for a little bit. Who was his best team?

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:42.079
Marlins. Right before the Yanks, right? Marlins.

00:25:42.579 --> 00:25:46.299
When he was young. He could run a lot then. He

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:47.700
had some good years with the Yankees. Was he

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:50.619
still a third baseman then? No. With the Marlins?

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.430
No, he was an off -healer. He came up with the

00:25:54.430 --> 00:25:56.869
Brewers at third. Yeah, and he threw balls away

00:25:56.869 --> 00:25:58.809
intentionally. All right, speaking of throwing

00:25:58.809 --> 00:26:02.609
balls away, Angry Jay's Bracket Challenge brought

00:26:02.609 --> 00:26:04.710
to you by Capital Securities and Joe Moriello,

00:26:04.910 --> 00:26:08.089
Vice President, a life. Well planned. All right,

this week's episode of the Angry Jay Bracket

00:26:11.490 --> 00:26:13.670
Challenge has nothing to do with throwing balls

00:26:13.670 --> 00:26:16.210
away. It's actually throwing balls on the mound.

00:26:17.549 --> 00:26:22.309
So this is how it rocks today. Intriguing. We're

00:26:22.309 --> 00:26:26.029
gonna go nominator balls. Yeah We're gonna have

00:26:26.029 --> 00:26:31.710
16 Major League baseball pitchers from 1980 on

00:26:31.710 --> 00:26:34.609
We got that 1980 and yet you had to make your

00:26:34.609 --> 00:26:37.069
debut from 1980 a little before the G to rather

00:26:37.069 --> 00:26:40.109

Randy. Randy. Kill the bird. The other guy's

00:31:17.779 --> 00:31:24.519
underrated. I know. Also, unit not great in the

00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:29.430
postseason. Well, you got to go unit though,

00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:31.869
I guess I'll go Johann people forget about that.

00:31:31.869 --> 00:31:34.609
Yeah He was very good, but I'm going Johnson

00:31:34.609 --> 00:31:38.349
to our elite eight Greg Maddox Max Scherzer.

00:31:39.069 --> 00:31:45.069
Oh Maddox Maddox Maddox Maddox Wow, really? I

00:31:45.069 --> 00:31:47.309
was gonna go Scherz. I'm going Scherzer too,

00:31:47.309 --> 00:31:55.390
but we get rocket Clemens Kurt Schilling game

00:31:55.390 --> 00:32:00.319
seven We had this, by the way, in 2000. Who was

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.740
it? I'm going with the attitude, I'm going Clements.

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:04.000
Clements and Schilling. I'm going Clements. And

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.220
Louie Gonzales is off his thumbs because he was

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:09.839
on steroids. Schilling. Cost us some. Clements,

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.200
so we got one here. Who did you take it? Clements.

00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:17.900
So it's three to one? Schilling. I'm going Schilling

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:19.740
too. I'm the deciding vote. Schilling's in the

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:23.119
final four. Wow. I didn't see that coming. The

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:26.490
rocker, I misremembered this one. Actually a

00:32:26.490 --> 00:32:30.950
good one. Freakin' liar. Pedro and John Somal.

00:32:32.170 --> 00:32:37.069
Pedro and Roy Halliday in the lead eight. Pedro.

00:32:37.069 --> 00:32:45.450
Doc. I'm remembering the postseason with Pedro

00:32:45.450 --> 00:32:46.950
a little more than I just talked about. I'm gonna

00:32:46.950 --> 00:32:50.329
go with Doc. I'm going actually Doc too. It's

00:32:50.329 --> 00:32:53.369
over. Doc is in the 11th season of Final Four.

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.380
You always get one upset, Jay, and you always

00:32:56.380 --> 00:33:00.420
have an upset. And the last one to make the final

00:33:00.420 --> 00:33:02.500
four appearances in the playoffs. Randy Johnson,

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:09.619
Justin Verlander. Verlander. Oh my god. Verlander.

00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:12.519
Verlander. You guys are drunk. I'm going Verlander

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.700
too. Randy Johnson eliminated his foot. 18 to

00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:20.920
1. Out of all this, this is the guy I would pick

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:25.000
to finish. He's out. Unbelievable. Remember the

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:27.920
time they played the 183rd game before all the

00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.819
wild cards? And he pitched it. 183rd, 83 is kind

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:34.980
of hard. You know what I meant. And then he pitched

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:39.380
a complete game. That was amazing. Who was that

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:42.440
against? I think it was the Tigers, but I'm not

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:47.240
positive. But they also... With game six against

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:49.420
the Yankees. Did you guys see the 2000 World

00:33:49.420 --> 00:33:51.160
Series? It's the reason we didn't know for Pete,

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:52.900
for God's sakes. Then he came in and pitched

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:55.279
a relief the next day, which is unheard of today.

00:33:55.660 --> 00:33:59.960
You guys just took, oh my God. I'm legitimately

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:02.039
upset. I thought this was a game seven thing,

00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:04.920
not a game six thing. Yeah, whatever. He pitched

00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:10.280
a game seven to him. Jesus Christ. Holy Christ.

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.329
Terrible. There was a number two guy in his team.

00:34:12.849 --> 00:34:14.510
Terrible Yankee and I can't take it out of my

00:34:14.510 --> 00:34:15.250
head with his short hair. Actually, those are

00:34:15.250 --> 00:34:17.269
the terrible Yankees. He won 15 games both years.

00:34:17.309 --> 00:34:19.670
His short hair. Terrible. He made them. They

00:34:19.670 --> 00:34:21.369
made him cut his hair. Yeah, because we're stupid.

00:34:21.369 --> 00:34:22.710
And his mustache, right? Yeah, the main guys

00:34:22.710 --> 00:34:26.329
won't lead off. Jesus. All right, 5 -0 -4. Here

00:34:26.329 --> 00:34:29.789
we go. Kirk Schilling and Greg Maddox. Maddox.

00:34:30.630 --> 00:34:32.230
I didn't even get a chance to say my name. I'm

00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:34.550
going to go showing you. Kevin, don't lose hope.

00:34:34.989 --> 00:34:41.230
Jim Ross. Maddox. Maddox. Showing. I said chilling.

00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:43.389
I'm taking chilling too. Shilling is in the final.

00:34:43.389 --> 00:34:45.789
This is ridiculous. Lenny's the guy I would have

00:34:45.789 --> 00:34:49.369
picked. Well, that's the way it goes. Verlander

00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:52.250
and Halliday to make this championship. Verlander.

00:34:52.409 --> 00:34:56.110
This is great. Again, people forget this guy.

00:34:56.289 --> 00:35:01.409
I'm going to go doc. Verlander. Halliday. I'm

00:35:01.409 --> 00:35:05.329
Halliday too. I'm going Halliday too. So in the

00:35:05.329 --> 00:35:08.920
finals. with a great racket challenge. We have

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.119
the number five seed, Kurt Schilling, going against

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:15.400
Doc Holliday, the 11 seed. You're starting off,

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:19.579
Crocker. I gotta go Doc. Me too. Really? I had

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:23.519
to, I had to. I like an underdog. Let's go, Doc.

00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:29.059
Sure. Doc, two to one. Showing. I'm going Holliday

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:31.000
too, I can't take it. Wow, let's go. Crocker,

00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:33.539
you're a dead supporty sock. I know, I know.

00:35:34.670 --> 00:35:38.070
He also bankrupted Rhode Island, so whatever.

00:35:38.210 --> 00:35:40.130
He was phenomenal though. He was phenomenal.

00:35:40.369 --> 00:35:43.369
Jay, was he a better Philly or Blue Jay? Blue

00:35:43.369 --> 00:35:48.429
Jay, I think. He didn't pitch in the full season.

00:35:48.449 --> 00:35:51.590
I would agree with Blue Jay, but yeah. But he

00:35:51.590 --> 00:35:54.909
threw a no -hitter in the full season. Better

00:35:54.909 --> 00:35:57.989
regular season, absolutely. Toronto. Multiple

00:35:57.989 --> 00:36:00.010
Cy Youngs there. Talk about the Yanks on like

00:36:00.010 --> 00:36:02.739
a... Afternoon one o 'clock start and then we

00:36:02.739 --> 00:36:05.340
couldn't get a shadow's ass park. What was it

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:08.179
called back then? Which one? The old one before

00:36:08.179 --> 00:36:11.099
Roger Center exhibition and they had like a million

00:36:11.099 --> 00:36:14.639
yards beyond the fence like footballs. They would

00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.800
pitch something like that. They'd have they'd

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:20.440
have holiday and like AJ Burnett pitch and then

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.980
we get like five hits on the weekend. That was

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:25.780
great. Yeah. Did you all heard that story that

00:36:25.780 --> 00:36:27.900
was at the time of Maddox Maddox and Eddie Perez

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:30.460
the whole bag well. Yeah. I heard that today.

00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:31.980
That's pretty awesome. Do you ever see it? The

00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:33.659
documentary. Yeah. The documentary. You guys

00:36:33.659 --> 00:36:35.519
hear that when it was Eddie Perez was talking

00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.380
about it? How he called pitches? Yeah. Unbelievable.

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:40.760
You see how he called pitches? You know how he

00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:43.980
did it? He would like for, if he wanted like

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:46.019
a fastball inside, he would stick his glove out

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:48.360
when he got the return throw. And if he wanted

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.739
a fastball out or whatever, it might have been

00:36:50.739 --> 00:36:52.460
vice, but he would catch it close to his chest.

00:36:52.619 --> 00:36:55.159
No one ever caught that? Yeah. They have small

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:56.579
style. Like if you want to throw a curve ball,

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:58.079
he would like almost like pick his nose with

00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:01.269
his glove. He did it for his career. They would

00:37:01.269 --> 00:37:03.610
have taken that shit to El Tuve and hit it out.

00:37:04.329 --> 00:37:06.710
The Maddox, Bagwell story, Maddox was pitching

00:37:06.710 --> 00:37:08.110
to him in regular season. It was like August,

00:37:08.230 --> 00:37:10.010
something like that. And he told Perez, he goes,

00:37:10.110 --> 00:37:12.449
no matter what, don't let me throw low and inside

00:37:12.449 --> 00:37:16.010
against Bagwell. And end of the game, and he,

00:37:16.010 --> 00:37:17.449
I guess he waved him inside. They were killing

00:37:17.449 --> 00:37:18.510
him. Yeah, they were killing him. Yeah, he pitched

00:37:18.510 --> 00:37:20.110
him inside and Bagwell hit the ball. He said

00:37:20.110 --> 00:37:22.070
it went about 500 feet. And Perez came out and

00:37:22.070 --> 00:37:24.130
said, you told me not to go low and inside. He

00:37:24.130 --> 00:37:27.510
goes, just wait, just wait. He said he waited,

00:37:27.510 --> 00:37:29.110
he goes, wait until the postseason. Postseason

00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:31.090
came up, was it bases loaded? Yeah, it came up.

00:37:31.090 --> 00:37:34.849
One or two outs. Threw him two, three low and

00:37:34.849 --> 00:37:36.610
outside curve balls because he was golfing, waiting

00:37:36.610 --> 00:37:38.750
for the inside pitch. Every time when Perez walks

00:37:38.750 --> 00:37:40.409
out, he goes, and Maddox said, I told you three

00:37:40.409 --> 00:37:42.409
months ago what was going to happen today. That's

00:37:42.409 --> 00:37:44.110
freaking baseball right there. That's pretty

00:37:44.110 --> 00:37:45.769
cool. That's a freaking great story. They show

00:37:45.769 --> 00:37:49.809
the actual pitches. That's awesome. That's a

00:37:49.809 --> 00:37:53.989
crazy good story. I can't believe Randy Johnson

00:37:53.989 --> 00:37:58.110
didn't make the final. I'm stunned. Let's talk

00:37:58.110 --> 00:38:01.449
stolen bases real quick. Sure. You want a trivia

00:38:01.449 --> 00:38:03.849
question? Yeah. All right, let's get after it.

00:38:04.369 --> 00:38:08.289
Since 1920, we're looking for the most stolen

00:38:08.289 --> 00:38:11.730
bases. It's Crocker's time. We go back to before

00:38:11.730 --> 00:38:14.650
the turn of the century for Crocker's time. There's

00:38:14.650 --> 00:38:17.070
guys we've never heard of with stolen bases.

00:38:17.250 --> 00:38:20.630
So we're going from 1920. Napla Joy? Yeah, Ty

00:38:20.630 --> 00:38:25.409
Cobb, those guys. Since 1920, most stolen bases

00:38:25.409 --> 00:38:30.349
by position. Oh God. Got that? So like if you

00:38:30.349 --> 00:38:32.969
played a different position and stole base, they

00:38:32.969 --> 00:38:34.449
didn't count it. How do you do an outfield? Is

00:38:34.449 --> 00:38:35.889
it outfield or is it left center? We're going

00:38:35.889 --> 00:38:38.550
left center and right. Oh, there's a game, like

00:38:38.550 --> 00:38:41.389
you should play it. You put a dollar up and then

00:38:41.389 --> 00:38:43.690
you roll dice. And you know what I'm talking

00:38:43.690 --> 00:38:47.050
about? No. Called LCR? No, left center and right

00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:48.409
center. Do you freaking lose your number one

00:38:48.409 --> 00:38:50.449
to an adult party? I know left center and right

00:38:50.449 --> 00:38:53.000
center. All right. I was like, anyway, with this

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:55.760
most stolen bases by a catcher in the modern

00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.760
era. Catcher. You got to give some. It's right.

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.920
Right. Right. Good. Too much Pittsburgh Pirates.

00:39:04.300 --> 00:39:07.639
Fairly recent. Kendall. Boom. Don Fog. Damn.

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.420
Otis Nixon. Otis Nixon. I was going to stop you

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:14.159
guys last week. He got Otis Nixon. Kendall would

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.239
have had more. How about this? How about this?

00:39:16.300 --> 00:39:21.010
Sliding in the space space. First base. Jason

00:39:21.010 --> 00:39:23.949
Kendall had 189, by the way. Need a team. Come

00:39:23.949 --> 00:39:28.230
on. I don't think we need it. For first base,

00:39:28.369 --> 00:39:30.590
it's a sluggers position. I'll give you this.

00:39:30.769 --> 00:39:32.670
Don Fowler was just talking about him. Bagwell.

00:39:32.969 --> 00:39:37.530
Jeff Bagwell. Boom. How many? 202 stolen bases

00:39:37.530 --> 00:39:40.190
in his career. Can I pause you for one second

00:39:40.190 --> 00:39:43.460
on that? Sure. Just as a segue? So you talk about

00:39:43.460 --> 00:39:45.400
Bagwell again, so we talked about Bagwell twice

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.420
tonight, which is what high school to go to again?

00:39:47.739 --> 00:39:50.000
Xavier. Oh my god, that's why he loves them.

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:52.960
That is why I love them. Hartford. He was Ryan

00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:54.579
Daniels dad's roommate. Pete Daniels' roommate.

00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:59.099
Hartford. He was one of only two players to have

00:39:59.099 --> 00:40:01.719
a 30 -30 season while playing first base. Only

00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:03.000
two players in major league history. Oh, that's

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.340
a great question. Who was the other one? Again,

00:40:05.539 --> 00:40:07.280
need hints. Can't have dead time. Come on. Come

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.280
on. You guys know this. First base. We talked

00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.500
about the team about 10 minutes ago. Two minutes

00:40:11.500 --> 00:40:21.599
ago. Toronto it's not a Yankee memorable home

00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:26.079
run Joe Carter Joe Carter first baby that season

00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.980
he got 30 30 point first base more than half

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:29.440
I'm gonna call bullshit on that we're gonna have

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.880
to look that up all right um commission also

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:34.360
spent time with Jeff Bagwell is in as a here

00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.400
we go here we go second base Harold did sports

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:41.030
writing second base Hall of Famer Morgan Joe

00:40:41.030 --> 00:40:43.469
Morgan, boom. That was pretty easy, right? Third

00:40:43.469 --> 00:40:47.750
base. Joe Morgan, 689 by the way. Jose, oh, well

00:40:47.750 --> 00:40:50.329
I just gave this number three away. First name

00:40:50.329 --> 00:40:53.750
is Jose. Jose Ramirez. Jose Ramirez is cancer.

00:40:53.769 --> 00:41:00.730
That was easy. Only active guy. Yes. Okay. Let's

00:41:00.730 --> 00:41:05.610
go with shortstop. Ozzie Smith. No. Good guess.

00:41:06.170 --> 00:41:10.750
He has 600 games. No, but he's a 1970s player.

00:41:11.250 --> 00:41:13.090
He actually played for the Yankees for a while.

00:41:14.269 --> 00:41:16.710
And he was number 56, I believe, for the Yankees.

00:41:16.789 --> 00:41:19.550
Played on multiple teams. Wow. Mostly with the

00:41:19.550 --> 00:41:28.670
A's in the early 70s. First name is Bert. Ernie.

00:41:30.060 --> 00:41:33.920
Burr can't get that camping error camp or whatever

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:39.920
his name was left fields Ricky there we go. I

00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:43.659
Centerfield Ricky was 1406 by the Lofton. No

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:49.239
boy got six oh ten Coleman six sixty rains eight

00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:53.679
no Not Vince Coleman Billy Hamilton. No, I'm

00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.380
serious. He got a ton. Yeah, no cop answers.

00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:02.719
No, no before an 1920 guy. This guy played mostly

00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:05.460
with the Royals. Willie Wilson. Boom. Donald

00:42:05.460 --> 00:42:09.840
Fowler. I threw a bunch. What number was he?

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.420
I don't know. Six. Kroc and I are not good at

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:15.699
numbers. Last one. Last one, right field. I didn't

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:19.280
do that. I didn't look up the picture, but right

00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:27.070
field. Vince Coleman? No. Recent player. Beltran?

00:42:27.329 --> 00:42:29.369
Oh, I know who it is. I know who it is. Each

00:42:29.369 --> 00:42:33.610
row. Boom. Godfather. Wow. No pomade tonight

00:42:33.610 --> 00:42:37.090
and he's on fire. I wore off. Had a hat on. Kendall,

00:42:37.230 --> 00:42:39.889
Bagwell, Morgan, Ramirez, Campanaris, Henderson,

00:42:40.309 --> 00:42:42.250
Wilson, each row. Well, you know what? You could

00:42:42.250 --> 00:42:44.030
lock that in because it's not going to change

00:42:44.030 --> 00:42:46.690
for the next 50 freaking years. Actually. Because

00:42:46.690 --> 00:42:48.690
manufacturing runs is not important anymore.

00:42:48.829 --> 00:42:51.929
Some of the teams run. Freak. Ellie Dela Cruises.

00:42:52.909 --> 00:42:56.739
He strikes out too much. Anyway, easy one. Only

00:42:56.739 --> 00:42:58.300
player elected to the All -Star game under the

00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:02.639
age of 20. It's not easy. Elected by fans. With

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.500
the old school punch thing. Pitcher? Acuna? 80s.

00:43:07.940 --> 00:43:12.099
Robin Young. The 80s. A -Rod. But is it? 80s.

00:43:12.099 --> 00:43:15.039
Position. Position. Come on. Pitcher. Pitcher?

00:43:15.500 --> 00:43:19.079
Good. Oh boy good. Yeah, he's a boy wonder back

00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.159
there So the question though why there is less

00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:24.820
stolen bases now that you can't throw over as

00:43:24.820 --> 00:43:27.179
many has nothing to do with it Nothing to do

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:33.380
with it. I like that would set it up Yeah, okay

00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:36.239
picture can't throw over like unlimited anymore.

00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:41.119
Do you think now? I agree delivery picture. I'm

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:43.010
off You would think there'd be more and that's

00:43:43.010 --> 00:43:45.530
the end of it. I think what the rule was in trying

00:43:45.530 --> 00:43:47.849
to do, but like you said, there's not contact

00:43:47.849 --> 00:43:50.590
anymore. How many, how many hit and runs are

00:43:50.590 --> 00:43:52.650
there anymore? What I'm saying is that those

00:43:52.650 --> 00:43:55.070
rules were put in to promote this stuff, but

00:43:55.070 --> 00:43:57.409
it's not the reason that there's not more. Like

00:43:57.409 --> 00:44:00.650
the batting averages are down. Accepting a walk

00:44:00.650 --> 00:44:03.929
is down. Trying to get hit by a pitch. Greg Biggio,

00:44:04.269 --> 00:44:07.289
Don Baylor, that great players, both Hall of

00:44:07.289 --> 00:44:09.550
Famers. Don's not in, right? Don Baylor's not

00:44:09.550 --> 00:44:12.710
in. If he played today, he would be. Might be.

00:44:13.329 --> 00:44:15.869
He also stole bags. He stole 50 to him one year.

00:44:17.690 --> 00:44:20.809
That, and so we're not on base, and the guys

00:44:20.809 --> 00:44:23.210
are humping it in there at 100, and the catchers

00:44:23.210 --> 00:44:25.789
have absolute cannons. The catchers are also

00:44:25.789 --> 00:44:27.550
on their knees too, you know? Yeah, and they

00:44:27.550 --> 00:44:29.730
can't be easier. Well, they're on their knees

00:44:29.730 --> 00:44:31.190
because there's no need to worry about the running

00:44:31.190 --> 00:44:32.809
game because the pitchers keep it close. There's

00:44:32.809 --> 00:44:34.510
more stolen bases now though than there have

00:44:34.510 --> 00:44:36.170
been in the last few years. Because of the rules.

00:44:36.210 --> 00:44:39.449
I'm saying, Overall, it's not like it used to

00:44:39.449 --> 00:44:42.610
be. No, we're not gonna see Vince Coleman anymore,

00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:47.090
but I know that sucks You gotta have some balls

00:44:47.090 --> 00:44:49.510
to send the guy to Not a lot of balls in the

00:44:49.510 --> 00:44:51.309
managers a lot. How many more errors are there

00:44:51.309 --> 00:44:53.750
now? You've seen that it's that other errors

00:44:53.750 --> 00:44:56.190
increased overall. I don't know Like you said,

00:44:56.429 --> 00:45:00.409
we had these guys kick balls, they give him singles

00:45:00.409 --> 00:45:03.050
and stuff. Oh, Juan González. How many inside

00:45:03.050 --> 00:45:05.289
the park home runs in a week this week? Juan

00:45:05.289 --> 00:45:09.409
González wanted to beat up. Did you see the game

00:45:09.409 --> 00:45:11.969
winning one for the Giants? Yeah. Bailey hit

00:45:11.969 --> 00:45:14.170
the wall. Yeah, that's kind of cool. All right,

00:45:14.269 --> 00:45:17.170
guys, we could talk baseball forever. What a

00:45:17.170 --> 00:45:23.269
game. But let's move on to Hoops. January or

00:45:23.269 --> 00:45:27.710
July 10th tonight. is probably one of the most

00:45:27.710 --> 00:45:31.789
hyped up NBA summer league matchups since they've

00:45:31.789 --> 00:45:34.650
had it, which is number one pick Cooper flag

00:45:34.650 --> 00:45:37.349
in the Dallas Mavs going against Ronnie, who

00:45:37.349 --> 00:45:39.730
I like to call the entitled one. And I don't

00:45:39.730 --> 00:45:42.530
dislike him. I just dislike what's happened there.

00:45:43.449 --> 00:45:47.269
Bronte doesn't even do you guys care in any way?

00:45:48.570 --> 00:45:54.369
No, not really. You got to tell why. Be come

00:45:54.369 --> 00:45:56.869
up, you know some I'll probably watch a little

00:45:56.869 --> 00:45:58.409
bit just cuz it's Cooper flagging I want to see

00:45:58.409 --> 00:46:01.929
how he does but again, it's It's kind of cool

00:46:01.929 --> 00:46:04.250
to see him play like their first game and stuff,

00:46:04.250 --> 00:46:06.889
but it's done You know, it's not really it's

00:46:06.889 --> 00:46:08.389
not really the first game, you know, they're

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:10.170
not playing with there Yeah playing with a bunch

00:46:10.170 --> 00:46:12.150
of guys that you're not ever these guys aren't

00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:13.550
even how many guys are gonna be in the roster?

00:46:14.010 --> 00:46:19.320
Correct. Yeah, and you get ten fouls It's unlimited

00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:22.239
fall for you. Basically. Not gonna lie, the curiosity

00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:27.199
factor. I think Bronnie James game came along

00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:31.639
in the year that he played. You know, he didn't

00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:33.400
really play the year before because of the heart

00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:38.659
condition, you know, before that. I think when

00:46:38.659 --> 00:46:41.139
you, I saw stat that, you know, everyone complained,

00:46:41.199 --> 00:46:43.179
why did you take him? Why did you take him? And

00:46:43.179 --> 00:46:46.219
they looked at every player after him. in the

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:48.480
G League, and his stats were better, significantly

00:46:48.480 --> 00:46:51.139
better than every player had picked after him

00:46:51.139 --> 00:46:53.840
in the G League. Why they take him is easy, though.

00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:58.260
Well, yes. Why the Lakers? Yeah. But he's, you

00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:00.360
know, I'm not going to say he's going to be a

00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:02.039
complete failure. I think if he's given time

00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:05.500
and he plays, you know, plays well, he's got

00:47:05.500 --> 00:47:08.679
an opportunity. His younger brother is a better

00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:11.380
player. I already hear, too. He's bigger price

00:47:11.380 --> 00:47:13.900
or. Yeah, he's going to Arizona or something.

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:16.599
He's a bigger kid. Who I'm intrigued to see is

00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:18.300
Hugo Gonzalo. That's who I want to see. Yeah,

00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.940
I'll actually watch him. For me as a Celtics

00:47:21.940 --> 00:47:23.559
fan, he's the most intriguing player right now.

00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:26.659
He literally played 10 minutes a game. Real Madrid

00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:29.710
or something. I mean, they said he was a steal

00:47:29.710 --> 00:47:32.010
the draft. I hope they're right. I will watch

00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:33.750
the only because of being a Celtic fan. I'll

00:47:33.750 --> 00:47:36.230
watch you do go. Hanson Yang steal the draft.

00:47:36.550 --> 00:47:39.630
To Kevin's point, I will watch Cooper flag a

00:47:39.630 --> 00:47:41.250
little bit tonight, but I'm not really watching

00:47:41.250 --> 00:47:45.269
it for Brian James. OK, so I got into an argument,

00:47:45.550 --> 00:47:47.969
disagreement with a friend today. And then another

00:47:47.969 --> 00:47:51.170
I asked my younger son because he's locked into

00:47:51.170 --> 00:47:54.360
hoops. And he actually took the other side of

00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:57.340
the argument, too. And it's that the guy is a

00:47:57.340 --> 00:48:02.800
very deserving late second round pick. And their

00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:05.300
argument is that why wouldn't he get more time

00:48:05.300 --> 00:48:11.019
to develop? The lineage is there. He had the

00:48:11.019 --> 00:48:14.739
heart issue, which he was kind of held back for

00:48:14.739 --> 00:48:19.300
a year. And his upside is high. And he should

00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:23.940
have, he should have this time to develop. And

00:48:23.940 --> 00:48:27.659
the one guy told me that he's gonna be really

00:48:27.659 --> 00:48:29.880
good. Why is his upside high? I don't agree with

00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.199
that. Who's ever seen his upside? How do we know

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.019
what his upside is? With an average 20 in a G

00:48:34.019 --> 00:48:38.420
League. Not not done a lot. I mean because those

00:48:38.420 --> 00:48:40.239
guys get JD Davidson He was the player of the

00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:41.679
year for the Celtics and he doesn't he doesn't

00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:45.000
get a sniff No, I would you guys I'm telling

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:48.000
you the argument. Oh, I'm totally with you guys

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:49.800
I don't see the upside only because he's six

00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.900
foot two and he he's not a point guard I'm not

00:48:52.900 --> 00:48:55.440
saying he can't be an average NBA player. I am

00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:57.920
I don't average NBA player make a lot of money

00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.300
and good for him I mean bus so I said at that

00:49:01.300 --> 00:49:04.480
size and that being that poor of a shooter because

00:49:04.989 --> 00:49:06.909
It's all about in all these sports, measurables

00:49:06.909 --> 00:49:08.849
now, which is what's ruined baseball, right?

00:49:09.289 --> 00:49:11.550
So what measurable does he have? He's a shooting

00:49:11.550 --> 00:49:17.849
guard. So he's a good athlete. So I said, I said

00:49:17.849 --> 00:49:22.849
his potential to be an impact player in the NBA

00:49:22.849 --> 00:49:26.489
might be to hound guards and, you know, be like

00:49:26.489 --> 00:49:29.050
a light Marcus smart type of guy. So I said,

00:49:29.230 --> 00:49:31.409
there's no way he'll be as good as a T .J. McConnell.

00:49:31.409 --> 00:49:35.110
And I was laughed at. Oh no, I would agree with

00:49:35.110 --> 00:49:37.969
that and no shot. No shot? No, no shot. Agreed,

00:49:37.969 --> 00:49:41.329
totally. You never put the effort in to do that,

00:49:41.349 --> 00:49:43.690
to be that player. No, he has no shot at that.

00:49:44.110 --> 00:49:46.530
Who's laughing at you, your sons? Might have

00:49:46.530 --> 00:49:48.170
to smack him around. They're about the same shooter,

00:49:48.349 --> 00:49:49.750
I'll say that, because Teter McConnell's not

00:49:49.750 --> 00:49:51.789
a good shooter, his shot's awful. Head varsity

00:49:51.789 --> 00:49:56.309
basketball coach at a local school. He's not

00:49:56.309 --> 00:49:58.670
even a defender like he goes out and he takes

00:49:58.670 --> 00:50:01.230
a million shots saying that's what he I'm giving

00:50:01.230 --> 00:50:03.349
him credit saying that's maybe what he couldn't

00:50:03.349 --> 00:50:06.510
be But still I'll take McConnell hounding on

00:50:06.510 --> 00:50:09.849
94 feet. Oh my god, and it's why this game is

00:50:09.849 --> 00:50:12.670
you give us Cooper play another game after tonight

00:50:12.670 --> 00:50:17.050
Cooper flag puts up like 25 30 tonight though.

00:50:17.610 --> 00:50:19.449
Don't do anything with Stephen got a stuff in

00:50:19.449 --> 00:50:21.889
castle last year put up like 20 and he they look

00:50:21.889 --> 00:50:23.230
super athletic They're like, wow, he's better

00:50:23.230 --> 00:50:25.300
than all these guys. You're like, yeah Came down

00:50:25.300 --> 00:50:27.860
with a wrist injury. Came down with a wrist injury.

00:50:27.860 --> 00:50:30.099
We're going to have to go over all our trivia

00:50:30.099 --> 00:50:31.900
after, because Ladi's coming now. So we've got

00:50:31.900 --> 00:50:33.360
to go over all our trivia again. We've got to

00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:36.440
do everything all over again. None of that. We

00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:40.420
need a 20 second timeout. All right. More NBA.

00:50:41.260 --> 00:50:43.260
We're approaching a real dead time in sports

00:50:43.260 --> 00:50:45.880
with the MLB All -Star game coming up. So we

00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:47.260
at least got to start talking about all this

00:50:47.260 --> 00:50:50.159
stuff. Can I jump in? Yeah. Will you guys watch

00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:53.699
the MLB All -Star game? No. No. Go run Derby.

00:50:54.299 --> 00:50:56.639
Home Run Derby? Yeah, maybe. Well, no, since

00:50:56.639 --> 00:50:59.659
Tori let it end in a tie, I don't watch. I don't

00:50:59.659 --> 00:51:01.840
watch any All -Star games. This is by far the

00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:05.039
best one because at least the hitter, the pitcher

00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.239
tries to get the hitter out, but they're all

00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:09.800
terrible. Like, I might have a little bit of

00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:11.159
interest in the same thing Kevin says, Home Run

00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:13.480
Derby. I know what I would like to see. Try something

00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.840
different. Like, let's see, like, Elfielder arms

00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:18.239
or something. Let's see who's the fastest guy

00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:19.619
from second to home or something. Tommy John

00:51:19.619 --> 00:51:21.940
competition. Who can we get to have Tommy John

00:51:21.940 --> 00:51:25.599
competition? No, no, like an outfield. I like

00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:26.940
an outfield. Like H .R .O. throwing it at the

00:51:26.940 --> 00:51:28.679
bat or in a barrel or something like that. Something

00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.380
like that. Skills competition. Yeah, let's see.

00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:33.559
Like football is doing now. Well, Jay, this is

00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:34.900
the problem. L .A. Daily Crew is going from first

00:51:34.900 --> 00:51:37.400
to home or something. One of the bristle boys

00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.639
applied to be... Put in an application to be

00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:41.920
Commissioner of Major League Baseball. And these

00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:44.360
changes would be made if they allowed, if they

00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:46.239
gave them the job. Because the people surrounding

00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:48.079
them, the cabinet, would be up. Speaking of Commissioner,

00:51:50.659 --> 00:51:53.199
do you see Rob Manfred is also pushing for a

00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:55.679
salary cap in Major League Baseball now? What

00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.420
are your thoughts on that? Good, perfect. I agree,

00:51:58.780 --> 00:52:01.159
it won't happen. They did not say what it would

00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:03.539
be or anything. He just said, I was reading about

00:52:03.539 --> 00:52:06.300
it today where Manfred is pushing, which means

00:52:06.300 --> 00:52:09.000
the owners are pushing for it. A salary cap,

00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:10.480
a main thing, baseball. Then they gotta get rid

00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.960
of the... I think the luxury tax is enough. We

00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:15.659
still need to beat up on the Royals on all them.

00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.059
And by the way, they produce some good players

00:52:17.059 --> 00:52:19.039
that we can fuck. It's not slowing the salaries

00:52:19.039 --> 00:52:20.800
at all, because obviously we just saw Juan Soto

00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:22.780
signed for a billion dollars. Yeah, what a mistake.

00:52:22.900 --> 00:52:25.199
I'm glad we didn't get him. I'd take him, but

00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:27.599
yeah. For that, no way. And we just had Bobby

00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:29.159
Bonilla day, everyone just remembered. Yeah,

00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:31.460
we did. What was it, July 1st? July 1st, yeah.

00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:33.920
Did you see what, talking about all -star games,

00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:35.500
did you see, I'm sure you all have now, what

00:52:35.500 --> 00:52:39.039
the WNBA All -Star game, all that? I have not.

00:52:39.940 --> 00:52:43.360
I saw Clark came in like ninth or something.

00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:45.179
Ninth, that's the player, on the player voting.

00:52:45.460 --> 00:52:47.300
I got that. I was going to talk about that. Yeah,

00:52:47.300 --> 00:52:49.840
that's unbelievable. You saw that. Like, what

00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.000
do they have against her? She's good. Yes. I

00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:53.420
don't know. She's their money ticket. I mean,

00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:55.400
they're idiots to not jump on the bandwagon.

00:52:55.719 --> 00:52:57.400
Like, ride the wave. Like, she's going to make

00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:58.920
you some money. Did you see what they get paid,

00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:02.860
the WNBA All -Stars? $2 ,500. for making the

00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:04.900
All -Star team. I know, but they're crying about

00:53:04.900 --> 00:53:08.179
their salaries. They don't like her because they've

00:53:08.179 --> 00:53:10.820
been playing for 20 years now, right? 20, 25

00:53:10.820 --> 00:53:18.340
years. And chips. And now they're getting notoriety

00:53:18.340 --> 00:53:20.920
because of one girl, what she did in college.

00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:22.320
Right, yeah, no, how come nobody cares about

00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:25.900
me? I just think it's hysterical that $2 ,500

00:53:25.900 --> 00:53:28.880
to make the team, $5 ,500 for the All -Star MVP.

00:53:30.180 --> 00:53:34.179
Everybody, 5 ,500. The winner of the three point

00:53:34.179 --> 00:53:37.300
contest makes 60 ,000. Then win the three point

00:53:37.300 --> 00:53:40.690
contest. But they had a... Sponsor. The fines

00:53:40.690 --> 00:53:43.409
for a fight was like 25 bucks, too. No, no, you're

00:53:43.409 --> 00:53:45.750
right. You're right. No, I'm serious. It's all

00:53:45.750 --> 00:53:48.130
relative. Every NBA player on the winning team

00:53:48.130 --> 00:53:51.369
gets $125 ,000. The MVP for WNBA gets $5 ,500.

00:53:51.389 --> 00:53:53.769
For the NBA, they get $125 ,000? Every player

00:53:53.769 --> 00:53:54.869
on the winning team. They don't even try. Right.

00:53:54.869 --> 00:53:57.130
They don't even try. No. They try in their WNBA,

00:53:57.130 --> 00:53:59.769
I think. I didn't watch it go low. In the in

00:53:59.769 --> 00:54:02.840
-season. Tournament they the winning team gets

00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:04.820
a hundred grand that was you're saying no the

00:54:04.820 --> 00:54:07.019
NBA all -star. I know but in that in that other

00:54:07.019 --> 00:54:10.599
thing, too So yeah, I thought was like 500 actually

00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.460
for the tournament. Maybe I don't feel bad in

00:54:13.460 --> 00:54:16.840
any way They the ones who are good get endorsement

00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:18.460
money So I don't want to hear that Caitlin Clark

00:54:18.460 --> 00:54:20.280
makes eighty thousand seven thousand dollars

00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:23.639
and Mason Plumlee makes 26 million The NBA brings

00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:26.780
in that money so they can pay that money. I agree.

00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:31.039
I'm sick of them crying about The WNBA was a

00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:33.670
thing and if you remember it went away. And they

00:54:33.670 --> 00:54:36.070
brought it back, the NBA brought it back and

00:54:36.070 --> 00:54:38.010
said, we're gonna carry it. And they're carrying

00:54:38.010 --> 00:54:40.650
it, so shut up about the salaries. No one's forcing

00:54:40.650 --> 00:54:43.010
you to play this. You could go be a gym teacher

00:54:43.010 --> 00:54:45.849
or get a job with Pac Life. Well, who's complaining

00:54:45.849 --> 00:54:47.590
about the salaries? We're playing three other,

00:54:47.630 --> 00:54:49.369
this season's so short, you played two other

00:54:49.369 --> 00:54:51.510
seasons. Who's complaining? Yeah, all over Instagram.

00:54:51.690 --> 00:54:53.789
Oh, can you believe this and that? And I'm like,

00:54:54.409 --> 00:54:56.869
what's her face, me -bound girl? She's like,

00:54:57.050 --> 00:54:59.489
oh, I can't afford my rent. Well, don't live

00:54:59.489 --> 00:55:01.769
there. It's 100 ,000 a month or something like

00:55:01.769 --> 00:55:04.989
that. Don't live there. She's doing all right.

00:55:05.170 --> 00:55:07.170
I mean, I'll still want it from Bill Burr. I'll

00:55:07.170 --> 00:55:10.690
use the G rated version. Go watch him play them.

00:55:10.969 --> 00:55:12.630
All the people that are complaining about them

00:55:12.630 --> 00:55:15.110
not making enough money. Go watch him play. Listen,

00:55:15.449 --> 00:55:18.610
I'll tune into a game. It was a little great.

00:55:19.510 --> 00:55:22.050
I'll tune into a game on a TV. My daughter loves

00:55:22.050 --> 00:55:24.329
it. My son's like basketball enough to stick

00:55:24.329 --> 00:55:26.210
around and watch it. No, they don't. Yeah, they

00:55:26.210 --> 00:55:28.869
do. Like for a couple of minutes. No, I'm saying

00:55:28.869 --> 00:55:31.530
for five minutes. Like, and if Paige and Katelyn

00:55:31.530 --> 00:55:34.909
are on, listen, give me a minute. If Paige and

00:55:34.909 --> 00:55:37.329
Katelyn are on, new ball game, right? Because

00:55:37.329 --> 00:55:41.789
it's something to watch. But, and you know, I

00:55:41.789 --> 00:55:44.789
coach girls basketball. There's a home team in

00:55:44.789 --> 00:55:48.670
that league, an hour from my house, and they've

00:55:48.670 --> 00:55:51.389
been there for many years. They've won championships.

00:55:51.769 --> 00:55:53.630
Here's the number of games I've been to. They've

00:55:53.630 --> 00:55:56.110
lost zero finals. Yeah. Okay. I went to one.

00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:59.360
You see, you support the league. Good for you.

00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.980
Nah, it was Maya Moore. Somebody gave me a free

00:56:02.980 --> 00:56:05.840
ticket, so I went. I think everybody got a free

00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:08.360
ticket for playing for Minnesota. State championship

00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:10.940
games have more people. Oh, definitely. The big

00:56:10.940 --> 00:56:13.440
ones? Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Didn't Paige Becker's

00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.059
get voted number one for WNBA? For the All -Stars,

00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:18.400
I mean. I think she was number one. That's a

00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:21.239
popularity thing. That's what they all like.

00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:26.670
Goal of what? Shooting. All right, for that,

00:56:26.730 --> 00:56:28.389
she's not the best women's player of all time,

00:56:28.449 --> 00:56:31.349
not even close. That's what her face. I get it,

00:56:31.349 --> 00:56:33.210
but right now... Actually, I would argue Breanna

00:56:33.210 --> 00:56:35.489
Stewart is probably... She's pretty good. But

00:56:35.489 --> 00:56:37.329
we actually watched it last night for a little

00:56:37.329 --> 00:56:40.150
bit. It's Mike Lottabico! Just in time for the

00:56:40.150 --> 00:56:48.650
show, everybody. Guys, we are in awe. We are

00:56:48.650 --> 00:56:52.170
privileged to have the heart of the Penn State

00:56:52.170 --> 00:56:56.400
Nittany Lions in the house. Joe? You might know

00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:59.719
him as Lottie. We know him as Lottie Dottie.

00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:05.139
He likes to potty. And he's back. He's back on

00:57:05.139 --> 00:57:09.900
a podcast. Lottie, you're just in time for the

00:57:09.900 --> 00:57:19.019
WNBA segment. So do you guys know what a me -bound

00:57:19.019 --> 00:57:25.579
is? Absolutely no. I love it. process. I just

00:57:25.579 --> 00:57:27.980
I just learned it the other day. I did. I did.

00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:31.079
I loved it. I think it's a great terminology.

00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:33.800
It could have been Oh, catching your own rebounds.

00:57:33.940 --> 00:57:35.400
There you go. And she's good at catching two

00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:36.980
or three of those. Andre Drummond could have

00:57:36.980 --> 00:57:39.940
done it. Well, Moses Malone used to do that back

00:57:39.940 --> 00:57:41.760
in the day. I've seen a few of those. To try

00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:44.280
to win rebounding times. In all honesty, since

00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.460
that rebound thing came, I actually checked out

00:57:46.460 --> 00:57:48.099
her stats, believe it or not. I don't know why

00:57:48.099 --> 00:57:49.480
I bored one night. Oh, she's a double -double

00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.639
machine. She is, but there's not a lot of her

00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:53.239
own rebounds. There's not a lot of offensive

00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:54.880
rebounds for her. They're not good either. I

00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:57.119
love the saying, and it kind of fits her because

00:57:57.119 --> 00:58:01.210
nobody likes her. You know, she has a fair amount

00:58:01.210 --> 00:58:03.429
of defensive rebounds. It's a fair observation.

00:58:03.610 --> 00:58:05.630
And this is why you have the podcast, because

00:58:05.630 --> 00:58:07.989
we're talking about WNBA now for 10 minutes.

00:58:08.130 --> 00:58:09.929
He's a hardworking American. That's the bottom

00:58:09.929 --> 00:58:17.639
line. Yeah, anyway, this me bound thing has got

00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.820
some steam and I would have bought a shirt just

00:58:20.820 --> 00:58:24.280
to have like insult the player But I found out

00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:26.280
she trademarked it and she's probably making

00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:29.199
money on the shirt. So not gonna happen One last

00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:32.900
thing about the WNBA. Oh like no. No, this is

00:58:32.900 --> 00:58:36.739
important NBA 2k, which all the kids play look

00:58:36.739 --> 00:58:40.579
who's on the cover is very important. So The

00:58:40.579 --> 00:58:45.139
new finals MVP and NBA MVP I think One of the

00:58:45.139 --> 00:58:48.300
three players on the cover very deserving from

00:58:48.300 --> 00:58:51.920
the Thunder. We know who that is Yeah, yeah,

00:58:52.139 --> 00:58:55.880
so then there's an old Older player that was

00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:59.519
a Nick number seven nugget. He played his best

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.079
basketball team He was a Syracuse plays best.

00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:05.940
Yep. You're right Carmelo the third player on

00:59:05.940 --> 00:59:11.710
that cover this year is me bound really I'm insulted

00:59:11.710 --> 00:59:15.329
by it. She's not even close to the most skilled

00:59:15.329 --> 00:59:18.269
player. She has no skill. She has no skill. And

00:59:18.269 --> 00:59:20.889
she goes, I modeled my game after Michael Jordan.

00:59:21.690 --> 00:59:26.789
Which game? Golf? I would say she's probably

00:59:26.789 --> 00:59:32.050
not a good golfer either. Anyway, moving on before

00:59:32.050 --> 00:59:37.789
our last challenge. It's almost time to go out

00:59:37.789 --> 00:59:39.849
and buy your fantasy football magazines except

00:59:39.849 --> 00:59:41.090
for you don't have to buy them anymore. You just

00:59:41.090 --> 00:59:45.750
go on your phone In most formats who's who's

00:59:45.750 --> 00:59:49.289
the top pick or top one to three type chase number

00:59:49.289 --> 00:59:51.650
one love them every week Yeah, Barclay's gotta

00:59:51.650 --> 00:59:53.550
be pretty high. No, I think he's two or three

00:59:53.550 --> 00:59:55.570
a lot of people get in there A lot of people

00:59:55.570 --> 00:59:57.809
are putting B John is running back. Yeah, really?

00:59:57.889 --> 00:59:59.849
Yeah, he's got shit a lot. He's got shit door

01:00:01.829 --> 01:00:03.829
Brian Sipe. Barkley doesn't get a lot of passes.

01:00:03.849 --> 01:00:07.150
Welcome back, Lottie. We'll be starting by week

01:00:07.150 --> 01:00:11.489
four. Shador? Yeah, I mean, you guys are horrific,

01:00:11.570 --> 01:00:13.869
so yeah. Just selling tickets. That's a little

01:00:13.869 --> 01:00:17.949
strong. Hey, this is McCaffrey back in a top

01:00:17.949 --> 01:00:21.550
three or no? No Mike's a fan if he's the top

01:00:21.550 --> 01:00:23.170
quarterback again I'll tell you something about

01:00:23.170 --> 01:00:25.150
Christian McCaffrey if I draft him again this

01:00:25.150 --> 01:00:28.230
year He'll get hurt by week four if I don't draft

01:00:28.230 --> 01:00:30.409
them if you draft them They'll run for and 1600

01:00:30.409 --> 01:00:32.809
yards you catch 80 passes and take them. I hate

01:00:32.809 --> 01:00:37.519
them I throw them in my five RB5 range. I mean,

01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:41.099
I like Saquon. I like Saquon. I like BJ. I like

01:00:41.099 --> 01:00:43.119
Gibbs. Yeah, yeah. I got an important question.

01:00:43.739 --> 01:00:46.380
Are you guys like me? If a guy stinks in fantasy,

01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:48.519
do you like hate him and root against him for

01:00:48.519 --> 01:00:53.139
the rest of his career? Absolutely. 100%. I drafted

01:00:53.139 --> 01:00:56.599
Nick Castellonus three years ago on my fantasy

01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:58.940
baseball team in a third round coming off a great

01:00:58.940 --> 01:01:02.469
year. I was pumped. He was like one for the goddamn

01:01:02.469 --> 01:01:04.769
summer and I played him every guy every night.

01:01:04.849 --> 01:01:09.250
I'm like these do and now I hate him. Like I

01:01:09.250 --> 01:01:11.989
I I root against him and every time he plays

01:01:11.989 --> 01:01:14.449
against me, he kills me every week. What would

01:01:14.449 --> 01:01:16.550
you say if you I'd want to find him? I would

01:01:16.550 --> 01:01:19.829
say let's fight. Let's go. We're throwing him.

01:01:19.949 --> 01:01:21.969
He would kick the shit out of it. I got why would

01:01:21.969 --> 01:01:23.650
you lose the fight? You see the picture of Brock

01:01:23.650 --> 01:01:27.150
Holt and Cracker. That's what killed that professional

01:01:27.150 --> 01:01:30.119
athlete. I'm washed up. Great guy. Like I root

01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.019
against him and tell you the story after a lot

01:01:32.019 --> 01:01:33.860
of Christian McCaffrey. I drafted last year I

01:01:33.860 --> 01:01:35.900
had the first pick I'm in two leagues in year

01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:38.320
in one of them. I just been in a yardage league

01:01:38.320 --> 01:01:40.920
I had the first pick for the first time ever

01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:47.139
You know, right? Yeah. Yeah. I Mean McCaffrey

01:01:47.139 --> 01:01:49.380
Derek Henry who he taking this Henry Henry. He

01:01:49.380 --> 01:01:51.559
should play plays every day. He's every Sunday

01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:55.400
Yeah, Cowboys didn't know that 30 Freaking cowboy,

01:01:55.699 --> 01:01:57.500
but Pickens and Lamb next to each other, they

01:01:57.500 --> 01:02:00.320
look freaking tough. Oh, don't do that. It's

01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:01.900
all one of them doesn't get the ball enough.

01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:07.179
Yeah. Lottie, you missed the NBA segment. Do

01:02:07.179 --> 01:02:08.800
you like the new look, Nicks and your coach?

01:02:09.980 --> 01:02:12.960
Who's their coach? The new look, Nicks, it's

01:02:12.960 --> 01:02:15.460
the same team. Same team, a new coach. No, they

01:02:15.460 --> 01:02:17.659
got, what's his face? Clarkson. I like Clarkson.

01:02:19.130 --> 01:02:20.789
He's crazy. I thought they were hiring the girl

01:02:20.789 --> 01:02:22.550
from South Carolina for a while. That would mean

01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:26.929
a lot. He probably The Knicks so Knicks are going

01:02:26.929 --> 01:02:29.909
to the finals, you know Knicks will go to the

01:02:29.909 --> 01:02:31.730
finals because the East sucks I was just gonna

01:02:31.730 --> 01:02:33.889
say something they're legit like they might be

01:02:33.889 --> 01:02:37.929
the best team. They got ten guys I don't know

01:02:37.929 --> 01:02:40.429
why there's no there's no Tatum. There's no Halliburton

01:02:40.429 --> 01:02:43.570
next year. You like the coach? No, he's a great

01:02:43.570 --> 01:02:47.409
assistant But I wasn't a Tibbs guy, so anything

01:02:47.409 --> 01:02:50.590
is better for me. Really? I wasn't, no. But you're

01:02:50.590 --> 01:02:52.309
gonna have Mike Brown with Tibbs? Yeah. You didn't

01:02:52.309 --> 01:02:55.010
like the fact that he played everybody 40 minutes?

01:02:55.369 --> 01:02:59.199
No, I respect that, but... Him getting fired

01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:01.539
is pathetic though. Like I want your take on

01:03:01.539 --> 01:03:05.079
this because it is diehard. Like 25 years they

01:03:05.079 --> 01:03:07.719
had a conference finals. Something, something

01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:10.860
happened. Something happened. I don't think it

01:03:10.860 --> 01:03:14.280
is what you see. A face value. I think something

01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:16.599
was a little bit deeper. I think the players

01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:19.440
went in there. I'm telling you probably besides

01:03:19.440 --> 01:03:21.940
Brunson and say we're not going anywhere with

01:03:21.940 --> 01:03:25.820
this guy. They play too much. Is that part of

01:03:25.820 --> 01:03:31.050
it? He's too grumpy. I think he's overrated defensive

01:03:31.050 --> 01:03:33.010
coach, obviously. They couldn't guard the three.

01:03:33.050 --> 01:03:36.829
They couldn't guard the pick and roll. They were

01:03:36.829 --> 01:03:39.630
awful defensively for a team that's supposed

01:03:39.630 --> 01:03:44.070
to be built on defense. I do like Clarkson because

01:03:44.070 --> 01:03:46.150
I think they needed some punch off the bench.

01:03:46.329 --> 01:03:48.250
And I think they needed a guy that can maybe

01:03:48.250 --> 01:03:51.579
shoot a little bit. If the Celtics and Indiana

01:03:51.579 --> 01:03:53.300
were healthy, they're still much better than

01:03:53.300 --> 01:03:57.460
the Knicks, I believe. Well, on the healthy comment

01:03:57.460 --> 01:03:59.840
that you said, the two guys you just said who

01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:02.539
are out for next year are relatively young players

01:04:02.539 --> 01:04:06.519
to have torn Achilles. They had seven players

01:04:06.519 --> 01:04:08.519
this year, Tara Achilles, I think they said,

01:04:08.659 --> 01:04:11.570
and they were talking about pace of play. up

01:04:11.570 --> 01:04:13.590
and down if you if you started watching the NBA

01:04:13.590 --> 01:04:16.949
like I did I'm amazed the first quarter is literally

01:04:16.949 --> 01:04:19.590
a track race of just who is hot shooting threes

01:04:19.590 --> 01:04:22.409
I swear to god there's you know shot shot shot

01:04:22.409 --> 01:04:25.050
shot shot and it's running back and forth and

01:04:25.050 --> 01:04:27.769
that's why these guys though are breaking down

01:04:27.769 --> 01:04:31.480
they think is because they're It's like running

01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:34.440
a marathon. Is that the Tommy John of basketball?

01:04:34.900 --> 01:04:36.340
Could be. I don't think, yeah. You don't come

01:04:36.340 --> 01:04:40.519
back though from it jumping higher. No. You know?

01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:44.260
So I heard her point. Yeah. And they're younger.

01:04:44.820 --> 01:04:47.340
They're younger than what that injury usually...

01:04:47.340 --> 01:04:49.619
I got a couple of theories on that. So I just

01:04:49.619 --> 01:04:51.059
want to, I'll throw this out there too, before

01:04:51.059 --> 01:04:55.639
you go. I saw this. Pierce and Garnett were talking

01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:58.440
about it. The same thing about the Achilles thing.

01:04:59.309 --> 01:05:01.969
And Garnett's a little crazy, but his theory

01:05:01.969 --> 01:05:04.849
is they have too much specialization like in

01:05:04.849 --> 01:05:09.010
the off season training. They don't, yeah, it's

01:05:09.010 --> 01:05:11.989
all worn on, you know, your personal trainer.

01:05:12.449 --> 01:05:15.010
He's like, we just played pickup like every day

01:05:15.010 --> 01:05:18.150
for three hours. And they don't start running.

01:05:18.550 --> 01:05:21.090
They don't have training camp anymore. They just.

01:05:21.420 --> 01:05:23.219
They have mini camps also. Yeah, they have like

01:05:23.219 --> 01:05:25.659
little camps and they put their offense in, but

01:05:25.659 --> 01:05:29.039
there's no like old school, like five on five,

01:05:29.179 --> 01:05:31.000
getting up and down for two weeks, you know,

01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.900
two and three days. And that's what he was basing

01:05:33.900 --> 01:05:35.519
it off of. Like they don't do anything until

01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:39.659
they start running full bore. and the first game

01:05:39.659 --> 01:05:41.920
of the year. I'm with you 100 % on that. That's

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:43.500
what I was going to say. It's kind of equivalent

01:05:43.500 --> 01:05:46.940
to these young guys pitching every day, 365 days.

01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:48.579
You guys probably already talked about it, but

01:05:48.579 --> 01:05:51.519
it's equivalent to that. You got to give your

01:05:51.519 --> 01:05:54.599
body a rest. You just have to. And you're right.

01:05:54.739 --> 01:05:56.760
The specialization and the training. And then

01:05:56.760 --> 01:06:00.179
once the season starts, they don't practice anymore.

01:06:00.739 --> 01:06:03.260
These guys are losing their cardio. They're losing

01:06:03.260 --> 01:06:06.059
that stamina and that endurance. And it just

01:06:06.059 --> 01:06:09.199
becomes get on a plane, play. Donovan probably

01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:11.420
says this, right? Get on a plane, play, get on

01:06:11.420 --> 01:06:13.280
a plane, play, go to a hotel. Laying around the

01:06:13.280 --> 01:06:15.179
hotel. Yeah, one little warmup. Kevin, jumping

01:06:15.179 --> 01:06:17.539
in real quick, do they, in Portland, do they

01:06:17.539 --> 01:06:21.219
practice a lot? No. So they have a game. They'll

01:06:21.219 --> 01:06:25.670
practice more now. This is what I know. But I'm

01:06:25.670 --> 01:06:27.989
talking like in season. They play on a Tuesday.

01:06:28.210 --> 01:06:29.250
Are they practicing on a Wednesday? They have

01:06:29.250 --> 01:06:32.630
a walk through probably every day. Between games.

01:06:32.630 --> 01:06:35.809
That's not practice. Yeah, they'll play probably

01:06:35.809 --> 01:06:38.250
I think between games they practice a little

01:06:38.250 --> 01:06:41.449
bit. But it's not like a, is it like a? No. It's

01:06:41.449 --> 01:06:43.489
not like a Dan Hurley practice obviously. It's

01:06:43.489 --> 01:06:46.199
a. Eighth of what Dan Hurley probably did in

01:06:46.199 --> 01:06:48.900
practice. Yeah. Yeah. Remember in a Celtics training

01:06:48.900 --> 01:06:50.760
camp, they'd play at, what is it, Brandeis? It

01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:52.940
was Hellenic College back in the day. Hellenic

01:06:52.940 --> 01:06:55.860
College with wooden backboards. Yeah. I think

01:06:55.860 --> 01:06:57.679
they have a video of how to learn how to do the

01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:00.079
pick and roll in that gym. I had that video,

01:07:00.260 --> 01:07:03.280
I guess. They're all wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts

01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:04.619
because they're trying to get in shape. Yeah.

01:07:04.780 --> 01:07:06.199
Because they don't do anything in the off season.

01:07:06.380 --> 01:07:07.900
They didn't. It's kind of like the baseball players

01:07:07.900 --> 01:07:09.519
in the back. I mean, if you remember last year,

01:07:10.500 --> 01:07:12.519
how fit, this year actually, this last season,

01:07:12.739 --> 01:07:15.539
how fit Tatum and Brown came back. They were

01:07:15.539 --> 01:07:18.179
like, after winning a championship, they came

01:07:18.179 --> 01:07:21.980
back fitter, playing basically a whole quarter

01:07:21.980 --> 01:07:25.019
season longer. And they worked out real hard.

01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:29.659
And again, Tiger and other people who were over,

01:07:29.860 --> 01:07:32.019
put too much muscle on in certain sports maybe.

01:07:32.579 --> 01:07:34.780
It's just interesting that the pace of play up

01:07:34.780 --> 01:07:37.820
and down is increasingly, I don't think it's

01:07:37.820 --> 01:07:40.989
a better, and it's not a better product. Watching

01:07:40.989 --> 01:07:44.610
guys run to the three -point line throw a ball

01:07:44.610 --> 01:07:47.309
and then even you know as well as they shoot

01:07:47.309 --> 01:07:51.030
it It's not a good play. I couldn't agree more

01:07:51.030 --> 01:07:53.630
with that And then as a big guy watching a big

01:07:53.630 --> 01:07:56.789
guy try to keep up. Yes. Yeah pace of plays,

01:07:56.929 --> 01:07:59.469
right? But there's no fast break basketball anymore

01:07:59.469 --> 01:08:01.710
to the basket like James Worthy used to get the

01:08:01.710 --> 01:08:03.530
ball on the right wing, right? You don't you

01:08:03.530 --> 01:08:05.510
don't nobody's filling lanes anymore. They're

01:08:05.510 --> 01:08:07.949
running to the three -point line Well, and Tatum

01:08:07.949 --> 01:08:10.150
got a lot of rest in Paris last year, too, so.

01:08:12.530 --> 01:08:15.789
They don't know what some some I was trying to

01:08:15.789 --> 01:08:18.569
bring up before and now we're back on hoops.

01:08:19.569 --> 01:08:23.449
Speaking of that Paris thing, which that stuff

01:08:23.449 --> 01:08:27.189
is just unreal, right? Do you think LeBron will

01:08:27.189 --> 01:08:30.869
go there? To where Golden State? I've heard a

01:08:30.869 --> 01:08:33.390
lot of that stuff. Who cares? It would cost some

01:08:33.390 --> 01:08:37.119
Butler and a pick. If you're going to say would

01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:40.500
you do that you'd rather our Butler or LeBron?

01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.500
I don't I mean didn't LeBron just take a contract.

01:08:44.939 --> 01:08:50.579
Yeah, like 30 Someone says What why is he? Why

01:08:50.579 --> 01:08:52.779
so I know they're gonna want to win? Why is he

01:08:52.779 --> 01:08:55.800
taking 50 million? Why does he take 20 million

01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:58.279
give him 30 million to play with the green players

01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:01.890
in need to win, but he You know the guy's worth

01:09:01.890 --> 01:09:04.210
a billion already. They got a big three now.

01:09:04.329 --> 01:09:09.029
Yeah, who's that? I got yeah, three hey, and

01:09:09.029 --> 01:09:12.090
oh my god You got a 36 million dollar payday

01:09:12.090 --> 01:09:14.750
out of this cuz he got 20 something from Portland

01:09:14.750 --> 01:09:17.989
like 16 from so he's getting a lot of love for

01:09:17.989 --> 01:09:22.109
a bust Yeah, he can play. I mean if you it's

01:09:22.109 --> 01:09:25.590
from what I've seen It's it's effort when he

01:09:25.590 --> 01:09:27.649
wants to play, which is a problem. Yeah. Well,

01:09:27.869 --> 01:09:30.229
that is a problem. Yeah. Let me let me put all

01:09:30.229 --> 01:09:32.689
my chips on a guy who when he tries, he's good.

01:09:32.770 --> 01:09:36.369
Yeah. No, that's why they didn't. They took it

01:09:36.369 --> 01:09:39.029
cheap. But he could. I mean, the guy could play

01:09:39.029 --> 01:09:40.890
if you want. That's the point. I think he's talent.

01:09:41.010 --> 01:09:43.350
They're trying. He's talented. Show flashes.

01:09:43.810 --> 01:09:46.210
Yeah, he did. In the first two years. NBA. You'd

01:09:46.210 --> 01:09:50.029
rather have Andre drumming or him. Now. I mean,

01:09:50.029 --> 01:09:52.449
I don't want either one of them, but I said one

01:09:52.449 --> 01:09:54.010
or the other you have to have one of them on

01:09:54.010 --> 01:09:58.930
your roster I do I have to keep Drummond led

01:09:58.930 --> 01:10:01.250
the league in rebound. Yeah, he's done. Well,

01:10:01.369 --> 01:10:03.390
like I would take Drummond if I only have to

01:10:03.390 --> 01:10:05.470
pay is the one year but I'm not thinking He's

01:10:05.470 --> 01:10:08.130
a winner championship with Lebron on then you

01:10:08.130 --> 01:10:10.109
take Ian. I guess Drummond can't move around

01:10:10.109 --> 01:10:13.130
anymore. Whatever. I mean you asked me how about

01:10:13.130 --> 01:10:15.590
how about Dame landing spot for Dame Celtics?

01:10:16.229 --> 01:10:18.270
Are you serious? Yeah, I've never heard that

01:10:18.270 --> 01:10:20.760
one are they putting on this season anyways right

01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:23.520
so yeah he's not playing this year he's gonna

01:10:23.520 --> 01:10:25.840
come back what number will he wear who cares

01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:28.079
he's gonna come on zero he's gonna come back

01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:30.220
off the bench and he's they're gonna play in

01:10:30.220 --> 01:10:34.140
like 25 and it'll take 25 well he's in a 25 minutes

01:10:34.140 --> 01:10:38.039
how about you honest who's staying there i don't

01:10:38.189 --> 01:10:40.569
I mean, if he ever changes teams, it'll be like

01:10:40.569 --> 01:10:43.270
Miami. That was my next thing, is Miami ever

01:10:43.270 --> 01:10:45.770
gonna get a guy? Well, they think they got guys.

01:10:46.510 --> 01:10:48.630
If you ever follow Twitter, they think every

01:10:48.630 --> 01:10:51.829
guy is a guy. Well, Tyler Heroin, the franchise

01:10:51.829 --> 01:10:55.229
guy, I hate to say it. All right, moving on.

01:10:55.409 --> 01:10:57.250
Duncan Robinson moved on, did you see that? Division

01:10:57.250 --> 01:11:04.689
III guy. Love it. So, last podcast, we had the

01:11:04.689 --> 01:11:07.460
President's Cup Challenge. Crocker still doesn't

01:11:07.460 --> 01:11:10.100
understand the rules, but just another way to

01:11:10.100 --> 01:11:13.140
associate some name while everybody else kind

01:11:13.140 --> 01:11:21.279
of but um We got up to the president six Monroe

01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:29.619
Or Madison, I don't know yeah So we're gonna

01:11:29.619 --> 01:11:31.739
go on to the seventh president Andrew Jackson,

01:11:31.779 --> 01:11:33.500
we're gonna stick with the name Jackson now.

01:11:33.500 --> 01:11:36.840
Here's the game I'm gonna give you a jersey number

01:11:36.840 --> 01:11:42.960
and a team of four NBA, four NFL, and four MLB

01:11:42.960 --> 01:11:44.840
teams. Actually, I won't give you the jersey

01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:46.920
number on a couple. I'll give you different hints.

01:11:47.359 --> 01:11:50.779
You're gonna tell me which Jackson it is. Okay?

01:11:51.300 --> 01:11:52.560
All right, I'm not really paying attention, but

01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:56.180
go ahead, yeah. That's sharp for the podcast.

01:11:56.680 --> 01:12:00.159
Let's do it. Which Jackson is it? Number 22 for

01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:03.439
the Dallas Mavs among other teams. Jimmy. Jimmy,

01:12:03.539 --> 01:12:06.380
do you want to go to college? Ohio State. What

01:12:06.380 --> 01:12:09.779
number pick in a draft? Six. Who? Three. Four.

01:12:10.500 --> 01:12:15.300
Okay. Five. You guys are close. This is a Lottie

01:12:15.300 --> 01:12:17.380
segment here, so if you could let Lottie go first.

01:12:17.460 --> 01:12:20.960
Number 13 for the Knicks. Mark Jackson. See?

01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:23.560
I like this one, a little bit of a challenge.

01:12:23.720 --> 01:12:29.260
Number 10 for the Kings. Reggie? Anybody? Eddie.

01:12:29.819 --> 01:12:33.739
No. Not Reggie? Reggie. I think he went to Minnesota.

01:12:33.760 --> 01:12:35.340
I was going to say he played for the Big Ten.

01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:39.159
Why is the first name not coming to me? Got three

01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:42.479
seconds. Three. Isaac. Bobby Jackson. Bobby Jackson.

01:12:43.159 --> 01:12:46.000
Welcome back. Look at Ladi. 24. Ding ding ding.

01:12:46.359 --> 01:12:48.539
No. Clearly Bobby fed these questions to his

01:12:48.539 --> 01:12:51.859
neighbor. We gotta look at Bobby Jackson's number.

01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:55.619
Go ahead. All right. He was 24. Was he? And you

01:12:55.619 --> 01:12:57.460
got the king. King's was most important. Thank

01:12:57.460 --> 01:13:04.090
you. All right. Another Nick. We never saw him

01:13:04.090 --> 01:13:07.850
play on television, but not that old. Phil. You

01:13:07.850 --> 01:13:10.510
know, Bobby Jackson is a coach for the Sacramento

01:13:10.510 --> 01:13:14.350
Kings right now. I can name that tune. You know

01:13:14.350 --> 01:13:16.449
what number it was? I'm looking it up right now.

01:13:16.609 --> 01:13:18.569
No, no, no. We're talking Phil Jackson. We moved

01:13:18.569 --> 01:13:24.489
on. She's like 17 or 18. 18. Good job. We're

01:13:24.489 --> 01:13:27.449
going to the NFL, friends. And the first two

01:13:27.449 --> 01:13:31.930
are... Ball. No, first two are linebackers. 57

01:13:31.930 --> 01:13:36.010
for the Saints. Ricky. 57 for the Broncos. Tom.

01:13:36.609 --> 01:13:39.369
Tom. Where do you go to school? Tom? Wisconsin.

01:13:40.270 --> 01:13:41.930
Come on, I used to say all the time on that.

01:13:42.130 --> 01:13:45.810
Louisville. Louisville. All right, next one,

01:13:45.989 --> 01:13:48.010
tough. You got to be a fantasy pay attentioner.

01:13:49.170 --> 01:13:54.029
80, wide out for the bucks. Huh? Vincent. Vincent

01:13:54.029 --> 01:13:56.890
Jackson. 83. And then the last one for Angry

01:13:56.890 --> 01:13:59.010
J. You can't say this one. You can't say it's

01:13:59.010 --> 01:14:01.229
for these other guys. And you can't punt the

01:14:01.229 --> 01:14:03.869
ball to the sky late in the game. One I already

01:14:03.869 --> 01:14:06.210
said. What did you say? Deshaun. You got it.

01:14:06.289 --> 01:14:10.989
All right. School. I don't know. He was a West

01:14:10.989 --> 01:14:17.350
Coast guy, but. Cal? No. Yes. OK. Got in for

01:14:17.350 --> 01:14:22.220
his brains. I think he's a great player though,

01:14:22.399 --> 01:14:25.060
underrated player. He's a good player. I'm gonna

01:14:25.060 --> 01:14:26.840
ask you something, Hall of Famer or no? I think

01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:31.779
so. Look up his stats. I'm just gonna tell you

01:14:31.779 --> 01:14:33.979
something. The only guy who has more 50 -yard

01:14:33.979 --> 01:14:37.380
touchdowns is Jerry Rice. Is that true? It's

01:14:37.380 --> 01:14:39.000
not a terrible company. He's not getting it.

01:14:40.819 --> 01:14:43.199
Well, the NFL is still tough, I think. Not like

01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:44.500
the major leagues. There's a lot of guys, that's

01:14:44.500 --> 01:14:47.380
why. All right, Jay, you gotta lock in for the

01:14:47.380 --> 01:14:50.600
baseball. So the first one. I'm trying to find

01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:52.579
Bobby Jackson's number. I know, but you gotta

01:14:52.579 --> 01:14:58.039
lock in for the baseball. This guy, for the Oakland

01:14:58.039 --> 01:14:59.800
A's, wore three different numbers. One was the

01:14:59.800 --> 01:15:02.779
Kansas City A's. 31, nine, and I can't tell you

01:15:02.779 --> 01:15:04.500
the last number. Reggie. Reggie. Okay, that was

01:15:04.500 --> 01:15:06.260
the easy one. We're just getting loose. The next

01:15:06.260 --> 01:15:11.239
one, not a number, but 23 game winner. He's a

01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:14.689
left -hander. Danny. Okay, 35 we talked about

01:15:14.689 --> 01:15:18.250
complete games before how many um complete games

01:15:18.250 --> 01:15:21.170

went to the Reds next is higher 15 That's pretty

01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:34.520
impressive. That's 13 fewer than the whole major

01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:38.460
leagues right now. That's crazy. Jesus. The next

01:15:38.460 --> 01:15:41.399
one. Drafted by the Yanks in 2005, but on December

01:15:41.399 --> 01:15:46.760
8th. Cost him. Was traded for... Who you got?

01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:49.460
Grandy Man. Was traded for the Grandy Man. Three

01:15:49.460 --> 01:15:51.560
team trade. There was one other big name in that

01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:55.279
trade. Pitcher. You love the guy. Think he went

01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:57.619

01:15:57.619 --> 01:16:00.600
Scherzer. Diamondbacks to the. We got the granny

01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:04.439
with Austin Jackson? Because I hated him. Number

45. No, wasn't named after. It was. Who was it?

01:16:10.500 --> 01:16:13.460
Who was it? With the Tigers. Yeah, he wasn't

01:16:13.460 --> 01:16:17.899
bad. And then the last Jackson number six. I

01:16:17.899 --> 01:16:19.579
forgot about Austin Jackson. That's a good one.

01:16:19.699 --> 01:16:22.760
Number 16. He was terrible. He was terrible.

01:16:22.939 --> 01:16:26.640
He was terrible. Digress 16 for the Kansas City

01:16:26.640 --> 01:16:29.319
Royals also play a little football. Oh, I like

01:16:29.319 --> 01:16:32.840

minus yeah Yeah, even I hit home runs into mine.

01:16:44.399 --> 01:16:46.439
Yeah. Oh my god. He must have killed somebody

01:16:46.439 --> 01:16:50.680
would have killed All right bonus segment here

01:16:52.590 --> 01:16:54.750
Andrew Jackson, I knew one of his nicknames.

01:16:54.829 --> 01:16:56.989
I didn't realize he had three. I knew Old Hickory.

01:16:57.430 --> 01:17:00.750
Stonewall. He's old. That's Jackson. That's Mr.

01:17:00.909 --> 01:17:02.470
Twenty Dollar Bill. That's not Andrew Jackson,

01:17:02.609 --> 01:17:04.930
but it is Stonewall Jackson. I don't know that

01:17:04.930 --> 01:17:08.710
president. No, it's like a general. All right.

01:17:09.430 --> 01:17:11.789
So yeah, a little too early. So listen up. His

01:17:11.789 --> 01:17:16.949
nicknames. How many stone pieces he has. Stonewall?

01:17:19.090 --> 01:17:23.029

hero of New Orleans if you got the name one true?

01:17:43.750 --> 01:17:48.789
Okay, I've eliminated Drew Brees Ricky Williams

01:17:49.930 --> 01:17:53.029
Got a guy and they want a Super Bowl with him.

01:17:53.250 --> 01:18:00.470
I don't hate that Archie That's what I got a

01:18:00.470 --> 01:18:04.350
500 season doesn't matter. He's Archie. He's

01:18:04.350 --> 01:18:07.689
Back of the Pete Maravich was he in New Orleans

01:18:07.689 --> 01:18:10.909
long enough. Yes. Wow the hero of New Orleans

01:18:10.909 --> 01:18:15.609
Where was he from LSU? Yeah, so what was he from

01:18:15.609 --> 01:18:18.699
New Orleans? No idea Yeah, he had to be. Larry

01:18:18.699 --> 01:18:20.560
Bird scored 60 points at the University of New

01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:24.439
Orleans, though. Relax. Larry Bird. Remember

01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:26.819
those highlights. Were you watching the game?

01:18:26.819 --> 01:18:29.680
Oh, God, yeah. All right. Right in front of the

01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:32.539
TV. Eight inches from the big screen. All right.

01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:34.840
Two parts on the next one. His last nickname,

01:18:34.939 --> 01:18:38.960
King Arthur. There's any other kings you could

01:18:38.960 --> 01:18:41.140
like with the nickname King? We can't say the

01:18:41.140 --> 01:18:43.079
one I don't want to say because he's not my king.

01:18:43.739 --> 01:18:46.260
But is there another king? Is Gretzky the king?

01:18:47.659 --> 01:18:50.140
He was the king, yeah. Who else is the king?

01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:54.760
Oh, Jim Liritz. That's right, of course. Any

01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:59.159
other kings? Bobby Jackson's number. 24? Yeah.

01:18:59.399 --> 01:19:02.720
Not out of Minnesota. Ripken? You're one of the

01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:05.420
13 with the Nuggets and number 8 with the Oklahoma

01:19:05.420 --> 01:19:07.640
City. Is there a boxer with him? You gotta move

01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:10.640
forward. We got it. He was 24. Was there a boxer?

01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:18.550
King? Oh! Yeah! Is Mike the king? No. King Rice.

01:19:18.829 --> 01:19:20.810
You're thinking the caroliner motor? 21. Who

01:19:20.810 --> 01:19:24.130
went there? Don King? No. No, somebody was the

01:19:24.130 --> 01:19:26.729
king. He said boxing. Forget about King, because

01:19:26.729 --> 01:19:30.350
I didn't even... He's the executioner, I think.

01:19:31.210 --> 01:19:34.850
That's not really the king. Alright, so how about

01:19:34.850 --> 01:19:37.510
this, though? Arthur. Who are the best Arthurs

01:19:37.510 --> 01:19:41.090
in sports? I know you love one. Ash. Who else?

01:19:46.480 --> 01:19:52.939
I got monk Yeah, how about art how Do you play

01:19:52.939 --> 01:19:54.920
with the A's or the Astros? He said the best.

01:19:55.779 --> 01:19:59.039
Both. He's a manager for the A's. Any other arts

01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:01.420
that were good? I mean Art Howlin got it off

01:20:01.420 --> 01:20:04.380
me. He was 82 years old. Not true story by the

01:20:04.380 --> 01:20:06.899
way. Art Whitehead was a really good high school

01:20:06.899 --> 01:20:12.579
player. Oh, let's go. Legendary. Art Ham Anybody

01:20:12.579 --> 01:20:16.180
else? We're about to wrap it up here on July

01:20:16.180 --> 01:20:20.079
10th 2025 Lottie Dottie back in the studio, but

01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:23.279
Lottie I hate to go back to this I don't know

01:20:23.279 --> 01:20:25.279
if it's good air time, but like just real quick

01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:27.779
your take on LeMahieu and the state of the Yanks

01:20:27.779 --> 01:20:31.680
real quick I think the Yanks are fine They need

01:20:31.680 --> 01:20:34.000
a third baseman. I had no problem with them getting

01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:36.100
rid of the Mayhew. We said it for months, you

01:20:36.100 --> 01:20:39.079
and I, right? We said put Dominguez lead off,

01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:42.460
get a third baseman, bat Volpi ninth, and they

01:20:42.460 --> 01:20:44.720
would take off. They haven't batted Volpi ninth

01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:47.079
yet, but they need a third baseman. Maybe Suarez

01:20:47.079 --> 01:20:50.100
at the deadline, but the arms are going down

01:20:50.100 --> 01:20:53.500
quick. Art Garfunkel. Art Garfunkel, good one.

01:20:53.779 --> 01:20:56.840
They need some arms. Simon Garfunkel. He played

01:20:56.840 --> 01:20:59.560
for, yeah, played with Simon. Yeah. They need

01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:01.220
some arms. Central Park was his place. You know

01:21:01.220 --> 01:21:03.119
who else needs arms? Everybody else in baseball,

01:21:03.260 --> 01:21:07.340
so. Yeah. I think the Yanks will be fine. Schlitler?

01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:09.739
I actually like Will Warren. He's been pitching

01:21:09.739 --> 01:21:13.739
well. Yeah. Schmidt was kind of a blow because

01:21:13.739 --> 01:21:16.239
he had to pitch in well too, but that's what

01:21:16.239 --> 01:21:19.390
happens with these guys nowadays. You heard Lottie.

01:21:19.569 --> 01:21:21.409
The Yanks are back. Are the Yanks back? Well,

01:21:21.409 --> 01:21:23.010
they're getting no hit tonight, and it's in their

01:21:23.010 --> 01:21:25.130
seventh inning. So after today, they'll be back.

01:21:25.770 --> 01:21:27.489
After today. It's been a tough month. And are

01:21:27.489 --> 01:21:29.350
the Knicks? Can you just put them in the finals

01:21:29.350 --> 01:21:31.329
right now? Yeah, put them in the finals. Who?

01:21:31.810 --> 01:21:33.289
Who are they going to play? No, just say the

01:21:33.289 --> 01:21:34.850
name of the team again. I like it. The Knicks

01:21:34.850 --> 01:21:38.590
are going to the finals. Without a doubt. Brown's

01:21:38.590 --> 01:21:42.649
record? Brown's record will be four and 13 again.

01:21:43.229 --> 01:21:46.090
But no Watson, so I watch. I'm going five and

01:21:46.090 --> 01:21:48.560
12. I think they get hot at the end. I got a

01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:51.680
hypothetical here though. We're going back to

01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:54.819
the basketball hypothetical. If Halliburton doesn't

01:21:54.819 --> 01:21:58.079
tear his ACL in game seven, do they win, the

01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:00.779
Pacers? No, but I think it's right to the wire.

01:22:01.979 --> 01:22:05.020
Yeah. Toss up basically. What was the score when

01:22:05.020 --> 01:22:07.220
he got hurt? They were down seven? It was the

01:22:07.220 --> 01:22:09.000
first quarter. They were winning. First quarter,

01:22:09.100 --> 01:22:11.060
under first quarter. Yeah, and he had hit three

01:22:11.060 --> 01:22:14.039
threes already. I don't think any games the Pacers

01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:16.939
played this postseason were Like blow out textbook

01:22:16.939 --> 01:22:18.859
games like you don't you can't count them out.

01:22:18.859 --> 01:22:21.239
Yeah, who knows? Rooney are Rooney. There you

01:22:21.239 --> 01:22:23.619
go. Right. It was Steeler owner. I know where

01:22:23.619 --> 01:22:25.279
I'm going to be. I'm going to think about it.

01:22:25.600 --> 01:22:27.899
You know that. He's thinking players. I wasn't

01:22:27.899 --> 01:22:32.159
thinking studio engineer. Real quick. The the

01:22:32.159 --> 01:22:34.020
Turner thing, I think, crushes them. Now, where

01:22:34.020 --> 01:22:37.760
did he go? Rocks. Yeah, no, I think they're.

01:22:37.760 --> 01:22:39.899
Yeah, they're done next year. They're not the

01:22:39.899 --> 01:22:41.979
team for next year, but I'm just Turner's got

01:22:41.979 --> 01:22:44.279
like another guy. You don't miss out there for

01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:47.840
a big guy. Nice player. Alright, we're wrapping

01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.619
it up. Yanks are in the playoffs. Lottie proclaimed

01:22:50.619 --> 01:22:53.479
it. Knicks are in the finals and the Brownies

01:22:53.479 --> 01:22:56.539
are back in the mix. Thanks for listening, everybody.

01:22:56.819 --> 01:23:02.079
Bristle boys. Everybody bristling. Bobby Jackson,

01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:02.760
number 24.
