WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.019
Fox Sports Eugene portions of this show are recorded.

00:00:05.179 --> 00:00:08.320
Strap in and be prepared. I love growing the

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.529
game. I can guarantee you, any other West Coast

00:00:11.529 --> 00:00:14.650
team that's watching this, I'm sure USC is gnashing

00:00:14.650 --> 00:00:17.589
their teeth right now saying, how come we couldn't

00:00:17.589 --> 00:00:20.230
have thought of this first? Interesting guests,

00:00:20.429 --> 00:00:23.109
Kelly Graves, Mike Parker, Coach Mark Waszkowski,

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:25.809
Melissa Lombardi, Max Torres, El Toro, joining

00:00:25.809 --> 00:00:28.910
us, Sharp Opinions. I think if you're a supporter

00:00:28.910 --> 00:00:31.390
of the NBA, that you should at least have some

00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:33.530
level of interest in the WNBA because the things

00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:37.009
that interest you as a NBA fan should still interest

00:00:37.009 --> 00:00:39.070
you as a WNBA fan. That's just my opinion. And

00:00:39.070 --> 00:00:41.149
some smiles. Can you guess what position I played

00:00:41.149 --> 00:00:44.210
in football? Left out? No, I did not. Yeah, exactly.

00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:46.289
I did think about that for a second. But yes,

00:00:46.289 --> 00:00:47.869
actually, I did not play. I was not big enough.

00:00:48.009 --> 00:00:50.689
Goose tried to kill me today on the golf course.

00:00:50.969 --> 00:00:52.850
Advanced warning was given. It just apparently

00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:55.429
was not heard. I will dispute that in a court

00:00:55.429 --> 00:00:57.969
of law. It's Danny Havel. If you're driving and

00:00:57.969 --> 00:00:59.429
you're trying to do this in your head, pull off

00:00:59.429 --> 00:01:01.049
the side of the road. I don't need any accidents.

00:01:01.469 --> 00:01:03.630
Justin Grossweiner. I love to hear Coach go,

00:01:03.670 --> 00:01:06.450
we're going to focus on that bad four game stretch

00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.799
the rest of the season. season. We will never

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.379
do that again. That may be a good point. I don't

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:13.040
know. Maybe you can do that. Maybe that's another

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.180
strategy. Danny and Justin starts now on Fox

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:21.459

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:56.260
to be Danny and Justin's favorite guests all

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:59.620

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:01.180
all in, but we're going to get the ones that

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:04.299
said yes. So we will start out today with Isaac

Streeter from the Portland Tribune. Everyone

iHeart, Amazon, Spotify, all of it. We are there.

00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:33.139

minutes. Breaking news, we'll get into that in

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.699
the first segment. No good, bad, and ugly today

00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:41.300
because we have big, big, big, big news. Doc

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.939
otherwise known as Danny runner. There's my tag

00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:45.979
team partner Justin gross whiner, baby. J. What

00:02:45.979 --> 00:02:48.199
about well, you know, I'm always excited for

00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.120
the show, but you're I'm fired outing you were

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.180
literally I think if the hallway would have been

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.300
longer you would have been sprinting up and down

00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:59.020
the hallway When I was sitting there try I was

00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:01.439
trying to know you're gonna make a business call

00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.259
You were like no No, just like oh my god, somebody

00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:10.840
died. No somebody didn't die, but Can you believe

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.020
that Portland Trail Blazers are splashing into

00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:16.360
the NBA offseason news as it was just announced

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.139
by Shams that the Memphis Grizzlies are trading

00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:22.659
two time NBA All -Star Ja Morant to the Trail

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.599
Blazers for Jeremy Grant and Chris Murray. This

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.539
is a straight up player deal, no picks involved.

00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:31.780
The Grizzlies have now shuttled off three of

00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.099
their former franchise players including Morant,

00:03:35.379 --> 00:03:37.969
Desmond Bain and Jaren Jackson Jr. Just getting

00:03:37.969 --> 00:03:40.169
they just got swept by Oklahoma City in the first

00:03:40.169 --> 00:03:44.150
round of the 2025 playoffs once considered one

00:03:44.150 --> 00:03:46.349
of the league's most talented young teams according

00:03:46.349 --> 00:03:49.569
to shams Grizzlies just once one series in four

00:03:49.569 --> 00:03:51.909
playoff appearances with that on the roster Morantz

00:03:51.909 --> 00:03:57.590
26 and Justin I cannot believe this is Joe Cronin

00:03:57.590 --> 00:04:02.189
making this the last move for the Blazers I can't

00:04:02.189 --> 00:04:05.710
believe this. It's such an odd move. This is

00:04:05.710 --> 00:04:08.430
the type of deal that we're going to see it two

00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:09.870
different ways because there's going to be the

00:04:09.870 --> 00:04:11.310
initial reaction and then there should be the

00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:12.729
fallout of whatever actually happens. Let's start

00:04:12.729 --> 00:04:14.509
with an initial reaction. You're either going

00:04:14.509 --> 00:04:17.810
to think this is an A or an F. There is no middle

00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:19.470
ground. No middle ground for this trade. Can

00:04:19.470 --> 00:04:24.529
I throw out some numbers? Absolutely. If you're

00:04:24.529 --> 00:04:26.670
in the column of this is the stupidest thing

00:04:26.670 --> 00:04:30.000
the Blazers have ever done. John Moran in the

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.959
last three years has played a total of 79 games.

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:35.800
Last two seasons have ended with... 82 games

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.540
per regular season, by the way. Okay. So he has

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:41.019
not even played a full season in three years.

00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.699
Part of that was he has been suspended a few

00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:46.660
times, the last one being a 25 -game suspension

00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:50.959
for conduct detrimental. He's a bit of... He's

00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.480
a bit of a problem child in the locker room with

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.470
organizations, apparently. So three years, 79

00:04:56.470 --> 00:04:58.850
games. He's had suspension after suspension.

00:04:58.889 --> 00:05:02.610
I already mentioned one of them. He is a career

00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:06.449
31 % three -point shooter. His deal is still

00:05:06.449 --> 00:05:09.509
worth right around $87 million. So it's like

00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:15.310
43 this year, 44 next year. And he's a point

00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:20.029
guard. And the Blazers have Dame, Scoot, Drew.

00:05:21.350 --> 00:05:24.730
He got one basketball. Who's going to get the

00:05:24.730 --> 00:05:27.930
ball if you keep this like it is on the face

00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:29.589
value with John Morant coming to the Blazers?

00:05:29.730 --> 00:05:31.670
And don't forget Denny Avdia, who is another

00:05:31.670 --> 00:05:33.569
guy that needs the ball in his hands. We saw

00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:35.529
last year when they missed all their point guards

00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:37.569
because they were all injured. He was the guy

00:05:37.569 --> 00:05:39.750
that was their point forward, essentially was

00:05:39.750 --> 00:05:42.250
their primary facilitator. There was already

00:05:42.250 --> 00:05:45.209
questions about hey, how's dame and denny gonna

00:05:45.209 --> 00:05:47.350
work out together? And now it's like all right.

00:05:47.350 --> 00:05:49.209
Well, how's dame gonna work out with denny, but

00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:51.209
also now they have john moran You have the worst

00:05:51.209 --> 00:05:53.990
menage trois in basketball right now henderson

00:05:53.990 --> 00:05:55.990
What does this say for what they believe in scoot

00:05:55.990 --> 00:05:58.310
henderson? That's why you might say joe cronin

00:05:58.310 --> 00:06:01.110
was how much how much was this his vision because

00:06:01.110 --> 00:06:02.910
I think they like scoot henderson, especially

00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:05.389
after the way He played in the post season that

00:06:05.389 --> 00:06:07.730
dame can mentor this kid because dame's not gonna

00:06:07.730 --> 00:06:11.290
play for another five years. He's not so Why

00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:15.170
would you so so I just made the case for? This

00:06:15.170 --> 00:06:17.730
is the worst thing the Blazers could have done.

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:20.329
So you said it's either an a or an F So please

00:06:20.329 --> 00:06:22.069
help some of the people that think it's an a

00:06:22.069 --> 00:06:24.589
okay If you like this trade you like this trade

00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:26.329
because they didn't give up anything They gave

00:06:26.329 --> 00:06:29.389
up Jeremy Grant and Chris my unloaded a horrible

00:06:29.389 --> 00:06:31.850
contract in Jeremy Jerry Grant Yeah, he's considered

00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:33.189
one of the worst contracts in the league. He

00:06:33.189 --> 00:06:35.250
did have a bit better of a season last year,

00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:38.709
but You like it if you believe that John Moran

00:06:38.709 --> 00:06:40.610
is gonna figure it out. That's where it starts,

00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:42.490
right? That he's gonna basically be that guy

00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:46.069
that we thought he could be a potential Super

00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:48.050
star level player. It's not like he's got the

00:06:48.050 --> 00:06:50.209
playing style where when he does things you're

00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:52.110
like, oh man Like this is the one of the most

00:06:52.110 --> 00:06:55.209
talented long ago was that two three years ago

00:06:55.209 --> 00:06:59.370
at this point? So he stole 26. So he's not he's

00:06:59.370 --> 00:07:04.250
theoretically in his prime And it's also the

00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.930
offseason isn't over. So this is very clearly

00:07:06.930 --> 00:07:10.230
a first move out of a series of moves that the

00:07:10.230 --> 00:07:12.050
Blazers are going to do. There's no possible

00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:15.290
way. I will bet my house that I don't own the

00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:17.750
fact that they will not take this exact roster

00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:19.149
into the regular season. They will not have all

00:07:19.149 --> 00:07:21.550
four of these guards on the team when the season

00:07:21.550 --> 00:07:23.410
starts. So you think that there might be a chance

00:07:23.410 --> 00:07:25.189
that they actually don't even keep John, they

00:07:25.189 --> 00:07:27.370
might reroute him. I'm still waiting to see on

00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:29.529
that. But we'll definitely have some news on

00:07:29.529 --> 00:07:31.050
that here in the near future. Well, it's going

00:07:31.050 --> 00:07:33.069
to come pretty soon. I think I think the Blazers

00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:34.610
did this move because they already know what

00:07:34.610 --> 00:07:37.550
their next moves gonna be somebody else wants

00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:39.730
See, I'll stay in this corner and I might be

00:07:39.730 --> 00:07:42.389
totally wrong. It might be that Drew and scoot

00:07:42.389 --> 00:07:46.279
are getting packaged together And that I can't

00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:47.920
believe even then i'm starting to cut you off

00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.980
But even then it's still like even if you say

00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:51.980
drew and scoot are out Then you still have the

00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:53.899
two other ball handling like heavy ball handling

00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:55.980
guys Like i'm gonna say the menagee twice Who

00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:58.819
are you getting in that trade for scoot and for

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:00.740
drew? You're probably getting another guy. Maybe

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:03.360
it's jalen brown another ball handler So they

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.160
can't really do that So this is where I think

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.579
there's some paint into the corner type analogy

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:10.220
going on But I still have to believe that this

00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:14.180
is the pawn being Offered out in front by grabbing

00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:22.639
on and I don't have any idea how much Tom Dundon

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.860
had to do with this because this kind of yeah

00:08:25.860 --> 00:08:29.339
But this kind of flies in the entire face of

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:37.940
everything that Tom Dundon's public persona is

00:08:38.059 --> 00:08:41.059
which is you're not taking on an $87 million

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:43.740
contract for a player that has not given you

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:46.399
an entire full season in the last three years.

00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:49.259
That's why, and I understand, Justin, I could

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:52.799
be totally off on this, but I feel that they're

00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.379
gonna package, and it could be the same team,

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.639
it could be two different teams for some picks

00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.299
or for maybe a middling, a mid -level exception

00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:04.879
player. I think... It's either Dame Stan. There's

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.820
no way you're trading. You can't. You just can't.

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:08.899
So take him off the table. So now it comes down

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:11.460
to Scoot or Drew. Drew, the Wiley veteran that

00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:13.639
they got, you know, a year ago. And he's and

00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.320
he's kind of worked in. Playoff rotation guy

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.700
100 percent. Right. Or do you trade away the

00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:26.779
future talent and you package him with this other

00:09:26.779 --> 00:09:30.240
player, John Morant? or do you split them off

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.679
into differing deals because somebody else wants

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.120
them, somebody else wants a John Marant and they

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.250
couldn't swing it. in some way because of their

00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:40.169
financials or whatever. Right. Yeah. And so there

00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:42.009
needs to be a different player that comes with

00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:44.129
it. So the Blazers, basically, I think the NBA,

00:09:44.129 --> 00:09:46.070
what they do and there's so many stupid rules

00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:49.169
with this, not stupid, but just confusing rules

00:09:49.169 --> 00:09:51.710
where, you know, you have to match up salaries.

00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:53.629
You have to match up certain things to be able

00:09:53.629 --> 00:09:56.429
to make it the new CBA. Right. So maybe this

00:09:56.429 --> 00:09:58.929
is where that comes into play and that there's

00:09:58.929 --> 00:10:01.509
going to be a different bundle for a John Marant

00:10:01.509 --> 00:10:05.230
with another team that basically Memphis would

00:10:05.230 --> 00:10:07.360
not deal with. It was like, we'll deal with the

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.500
Blazers because we want Jeremy Grant. But we're

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:11.539
not going to deal with you. Now, normally that

00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:13.519
ends up being like a three team trade. They do

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.679
it all at once. But this could be something where

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.120
the Blazers are going to hold on to this piece

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.559
for a minute because they know they've got something

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.740
else on the horizon. I guess my question would

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:25.259
be then, if you want to get Ja because you think

00:10:25.259 --> 00:10:26.740
that you're going to be able to flip him because

00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:31.679
he has value, then why weren't they made to spend

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.590
more to get him? They basically got him for free.

00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:36.190
Like, why are you going through the extra step

00:10:36.190 --> 00:10:38.309
of getting John Moran? Well, the reason I also

00:10:38.309 --> 00:10:41.950
think that this is a plausible theory is because

00:10:41.950 --> 00:10:44.470
there were no draft picks involved in this. At

00:10:44.470 --> 00:10:47.370
all. It was a straight salary dump, salary swap.

00:10:47.669 --> 00:10:50.509
So that again just points to that. Listen, this

00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.129
is so un -Joe Cronin -like, what we've seen in

00:10:53.129 --> 00:10:56.070
the last two years. He does not make deals like

00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:59.750
this. He hasn't made deals like this. So how

00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:07.490
much is he being influenced by Tom Dundon on

00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:10.309
how he's making this deal, and how much is it

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:12.559
He's got something else. He's got another little

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.639
card up his sleeve. Has to. Do you want to know

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.440
the non -guard blazers? Okay. On the roster right

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.139
now? Laying on me, yeah. There's not very many.

00:11:20.539 --> 00:11:24.059
Tonovan Klingon, Young Hansen, Denny Avdiya,

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:28.000
Tumani Kamara. Wow. That's it. And Jan Hansen

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.200
hasn't even... He hasn't even been on the bench

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.580
since the first 15 games. Robert Williams is

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.059
a free agent. Oh, he's gone. They're not resigning

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:38.600
Robert Williams. They're not the reason why I

00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.200
think is because I think a good contender is

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:41.539
gonna give him more money than they're gonna

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:43.039
want to for sure Well, he's probably not gonna

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.539
go to the West. I thought he was gonna possibly

00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:46.539
go down to Lakers But I just saw that Deandre

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:49.740
Ayton ops in with the Lakers smart decides. He's

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:52.559
not it's smart for Deandre Ayton Yeah, it is

00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.500
smart for him. So he's another guy that needs

00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:56.659
the ball. Otherwise, he's not productive Yeah,

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:59.600
so I think we got to mention Jalen Brown, right?

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.899
He's kind of the piece that I'm thinking about

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:03.620
he's kind of the name that we haven't mentioned

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:05.980
yet and the guy that's been the most Most active

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:09.279
in trade talks. He was in talks to be the Yanis.

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.700
Exactly that fell through now There's all these

00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:13.759
questions from the Boston side of like, okay

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.679
now he knows clearly he was to be traded Can

00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.940
you mend fences somehow? Is it the point the

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:20.620
pass the point of no return? I think it might

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:23.480
be so it sounds like the Blazers have been involved

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.759
It sounds like Donovan Klingon is the sticking

00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.279
point in a potential trade and you can see why

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.399
from the Blazers a bit back to upside with Donovan

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.039
Klingon as far as I'm concerned if I'm the Celtics,

00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:35.679
I of course you want him and you want a guy like

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.440
either scoot or with Shaden Maybe you get drew

00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.700
holiday back because that'll make the money work

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:42.799
and they had him on the team previously obviously

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.320
And so he's a guy they're familiar with the thing

00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.259
about it from the blazer side is like you can't

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:49.100
trade Donovan Klingon Like how can you possibly

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:51.440
do that? They'd run joke running out of town

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.259
If he this pull this deal off don't get anything

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:56.639
else for John Marantz not shoot him off and then

00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.840
get rid of Donovan Klingon and then bring in

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.549
a wing It doesn't make any sense that would be

00:13:01.549 --> 00:13:03.830
like what they're gonna have like five guys all

00:13:03.830 --> 00:13:06.009
at six five Playing on the floor at the same

00:13:06.009 --> 00:13:07.909
time. They get murdered Yeah, and Donovan Klingons

00:13:07.909 --> 00:13:10.389
a really nice young player who he's learned how

00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:12.870
to shoot. He's a good defender in this way This

00:13:12.870 --> 00:13:15.070
is why this whole development piece to me. I

00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.250
can see that and then you've got a player like

00:13:17.250 --> 00:13:20.809
Drew and Dame You've got the nice pieces in Denny

00:13:20.809 --> 00:13:25.070
and and tomorrow Don't see this it just it is

00:13:25.070 --> 00:13:27.230
it's bizarre a world right now if you're a blazer

00:13:27.230 --> 00:13:29.070
fan This is why we love the NBA first of all

00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:30.649
because stuff like this happens and we're just

00:13:30.649 --> 00:13:33.049
like what is going on I think that what this

00:13:33.049 --> 00:13:36.649
feels like to me is a little bit of a Pull in

00:13:36.649 --> 00:13:40.769
the trigger on a move and sorry no pun intended

00:13:40.769 --> 00:13:43.379
with the John Moran thing that It just feels

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:45.340
like they had this young rebuild thing going

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:48.200
and now you're kind of going for it I guess like

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.019
I don't even know what this is because he's still

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:51.460
young enough where maybe you can have him be

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:54.279
part of a core for a couple of years But I don't

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.980
know. It's just so weird. No, this doesn't make

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:59.600
any sense And nobody wanted John Moran at the

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.220
trade deadline last year and he got injured before

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:04.179
the deadline did not play again the rest of the

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:08.220
season and before that time He went down like

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:10.879
19 and a half points a game 23 from the three

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.000
-point line. He just played 20 games last season

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.639
injured People have called him a headcase. I

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.000
don't know him. So I'm not gonna call him Hey,

00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:19.799
I'm just saying what other people have said and

00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.759
that he's a headcase and so I don't I'm also

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.019
concerned about the chemistry in that locker

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:26.919
room, which seemed to be pretty positive I agree

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.559
and you bring in somebody also kind of screwed

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.379
that with getting rid of Tiago splitter, right?

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:35.139
Well, that's Again, that was, I think that was

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:36.700
a bad, we've talked about that, we just thought

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:38.620
that was a bad mood. Now listen, Micah Norah

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:42.799
might be, Micah Norah might be the guy. And they

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.179
just hired Mike Williams as an assistant today,

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.620
I think, is what I heard. Yeah, that's true.

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:50.799
So they're bringing in some familiar faces formally

00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.620
in the Blazers organization and such. So that's

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:57.159
a good thing. So I think Micah Norah is gonna

00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.220
stabilize that coaching thing. And you know,

00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:03.029
Herdy's a great... innovative coach who's hungry

00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:05.350
to succeed because this is his first head coaching

00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:07.669
position. So those are all check boxes in the

00:15:07.669 --> 00:15:10.029
positive for me. But yeah, Tiago Splitter, the

00:15:10.029 --> 00:15:12.450
players loved him. The players loved that guy.

00:15:12.950 --> 00:15:15.730
And he got shipped off. Good luck, Chicago, because

00:15:15.730 --> 00:15:18.409
you're getting a great coach. All right. But

00:15:18.409 --> 00:15:20.629
this whole thing with the player stuff is just

00:15:20.629 --> 00:15:22.730
it's a it's a head scratcher to me. And I've

00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:24.269
already talked to a couple of people and they

00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:27.340
are Scratching their heads. Well, it's more than

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:29.460
scratching their heads. There is one person that

00:15:29.460 --> 00:15:33.500
told me that this was probably the most idiotic

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:35.539
move the Blazers have made in their history.

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:37.960
That's saying something. That's saying a lot.

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.700
This is a French ball. This is the franchise

00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:43.440
that drafted Sam Bowie. Well, you never could

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.639
have known what was going to happen there. By

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.379
the way, Paraguay just went up on Germany 1 -0.

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.000
We'll talk about World Cup in the last segment.

00:15:49.659 --> 00:15:52.700
I don't want to squeeze this in. Is that enough

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:54.659
on John Moran for right now? We did 15 minutes.

00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.539
Is that enough? I think that's enough. We'll

00:15:57.539 --> 00:15:59.580
get some updates here, I'm sure, as the show

00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:02.139
goes on. If we have any. So the other news on

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:05.539
the West Coast is what's leaking out right now

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:08.960
That there is serious talks about a sign and

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.899
trade deal for lebron to leave la and go where

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:17.320
Golden state so weird. This is why we love the

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.700
nba I'm telling you and they're they're they're

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:24.139
talking about anthony davis also So it sounds

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:27.779
like what they did is they declined Dreyman's

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:30.779
option which potentially allows for the money

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:33.559
to be available to get cap exception. They have

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.559
jimmy butler on a big contract jimmy he's gonna

00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.440
be gone if they get lebron there well they'd

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.279
have to he'd be the one that they'd probably

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.139
flip to washington to get anthony davis and then

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.159
maybe he'd be a buyout i don't know why washington

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.860
would do that to be honest with you they got

00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:50.059
anthony davis they didn't trade too much to get

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:52.080
him but they committed a bit of capital to get

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.919
him you need to have somebody play defense in

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:55.759
washington because trey young's not going to

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.639
right and they have this kind of young corps

00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.940
now of guys where they get debansa number one

00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:01.840
pick they have trey young you have anthony davis

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.700
you got alexander sarr you've got some good guards,

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.740
Trey Johnson, like they've got something there

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:08.900
in Washington, so it seems to me maybe you'd

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:10.819
keep a guy like the Anthony Davis, but listen,

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:14.039
this is the NBA, players dictate a lot to where

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.859
they go, and of course there's these erroneous

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:17.759
moves like we saw with Luca where just players

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.500
get blindsided, but these players certainly have

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.940
a factor of where they're going. Do you think

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:25.700
that, and this is all supposition, that LeBron

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:29.029
could... Kind of maneuver this as well to say

00:17:29.029 --> 00:17:32.349
if I'm going here Bronte's kind of time you're

00:17:32.349 --> 00:17:35.230
going to the Bronte Why wouldn't he because he's

00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:37.009
a good young player because let's Steph Curry's

00:17:37.009 --> 00:17:40.029
not gonna play another ten years He's a nice

00:17:40.029 --> 00:17:43.009
like eighth man ninth man on a playoff team maybe

00:17:43.009 --> 00:17:45.130
but I think the reason maybe you wouldn't do

00:17:45.130 --> 00:17:47.910
that if you were You're a father. I'm not a father

00:17:47.910 --> 00:17:49.869
so I can't speak on this but if you were somebody

00:17:49.869 --> 00:17:52.170
if you were working with your kid at a job Yeah,

00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:55.250
and say you were the CEO of the company. Yeah,

00:17:55.289 --> 00:17:57.730
you're the man right and He's working his way

00:17:57.730 --> 00:18:00.630
up. He's maybe not quite as as talented naturally

00:18:00.630 --> 00:18:03.309
as you were and then you get another job somewhere

00:18:03.309 --> 00:18:06.509
else, right? Isn't that an opportunity for your

00:18:06.509 --> 00:18:10.049
child to? Go out and kind of do their own thing

00:18:10.049 --> 00:18:12.250
at that point and let them grow versus sort of

00:18:12.250 --> 00:18:14.549
going like alright I got you your first job now

00:18:14.549 --> 00:18:16.109
I'm gonna bring you along and give you a promotion

00:18:16.109 --> 00:18:18.990
at this new job Yeah, because because if you

00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:21.359
know that he's not that good And he's not gonna

00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.440
and he's gonna get thrown to the wolves if I

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:25.799
leave, you know the comfort of the nest now Do

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.680
I think lebron will not do that? He'll let him

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:35.900
stay in la probably not He's following daddy

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:38.200
wherever daddy goes for at least one more contract,

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:39.380
but don't you think it'd be the best thing for

00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:41.900
him? I think it would be if let him grow listen

00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:43.759
You've got you always are gonna try and do the

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.240
things that you think are in the best interest

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.259
of your child You should that's what one of the

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:49.380
responsibilities of being a parent is by the

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:51.039
way, this is the day and Justin radio program.

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:52.619
Thanks for tuning in. Isaac Streeter is going

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:54.079
to come up in just a few moments. We'll talk

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.259
a lot about collegiate baseball. The portal closes

00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:59.420
tomorrow and there's one other big move that

00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:02.019
just happened today that involved a former Oregon

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:03.720
player. We'll let you know about that. We'll

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:05.279
talk about all those things. I'm sure there'll

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.960
be some Cubs Brewers discussion in there as well

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.940
with Isaac Streeter from the Portland Tribune.

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.740
And then the last segment, we'll talk a lot of

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:14.039
World Cup because I think there's some things

00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:15.920
going on there that we need to discuss in terms

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.160
of fandom and in terms of what the TV wants.

00:19:19.109 --> 00:19:21.890
And what the what the game itself wants and as

00:19:21.890 --> 00:19:24.109
we get in this knockout round a couple of teams

00:19:24.109 --> 00:19:26.289
are already kind of teetering right now Brazil

00:19:26.289 --> 00:19:27.890
went through but we'll talk about that in the

00:19:27.890 --> 00:19:31.609
last segment so to wind up the whole LeBron thing

00:19:31.609 --> 00:19:35.740
I'm just finding the whole exit from LA curious

00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:38.880
because with Luca coming and LeBron knowing that

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.900
he's not the LeBron of five years ago is kind

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.420
of like, you know, I think with this guy can

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:45.880
get another ring. I think LeBron is sensing and

00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.680
realizing that the way the Lakers are built right

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:50.940
now, they're not going to get another ring. And

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:53.539
so he's going to a place where it's like, I think

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:57.079
if I insert myself into this with an offense

00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.359
that Golden State can generate. I think we can

00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.960
win we can at least be in strong contention I

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.420
think it's an interesting conversation whether

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:06.740
or not He cares about getting another ring to

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:08.460
be honest with you if he goes back to la I think

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:11.099
you're 100 % right He cares more about hey, we're

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:13.240
gonna be a dark horse. Maybe something will happen,

00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:15.259
but I want to live in la I'm gonna be with my

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:17.220
kid and yeah, he clearly likes living there,

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:20.769
but if he wants to get a ring Mean there are

00:20:20.769 --> 00:20:22.910
worse places to go worse places to be it It would

00:20:22.910 --> 00:20:25.670
also be one of the oldest teams we've ever seen

00:20:25.670 --> 00:20:28.130
that's a contender I mean that is you're talking

00:20:28.130 --> 00:20:33.769
about what 38 39 year old Steph Curry 35 36 year

00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:37.130
old Draymond green Anthony Davis is 33 34 years

00:20:37.130 --> 00:20:40.809
old LeBron is what 42 43. I mean that's an old

00:20:48.939 --> 00:20:51.519
I would love for that to happen. I think that'd

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.319
be great. I would love to see Steph Curry and

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.400
LeBron play together even though it'd be so weird

00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.839
though because like all the LeBron fans like

00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.900
they they've hated the Golden State Warriors

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:02.539
for years and years and years because they think

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:05.000
he ruined their legacy and Ceph Curry and the

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.940
Warriors did. And so it'd be so odd to have him

00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:10.299
go to that team at the end of his career to chase

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:13.119
the last title. Agreed. Well, that was a fast

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.039
segment. Man, we still got more in the hopper.

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:20.140
The last week of the Danny and Justin radio programs

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.940

from the Portland Tribune. We'll talk a lot of

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:37.819
baseball with Isaac next Does the World Football

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.339
Association Soccer here in the US need all of

00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:43.559
the stars to at least get passed through the

00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:45.500
first round of the knockout round We'll discuss

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:48.960
that in the last segment like the Rinaldos the

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:54.579
Messies the Mbappes the Highlands Moving on is

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:58.140

00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:01.400
sneaky, good, upset, darling story and still

get the eyeballs on you? We'll discuss in the

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.400
last segment. But first, let's head on over to

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.000
our Oregon Man Clinics Outline at 343 -5673 and

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.460
welcome in our first guest on the last week of

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:14.240
the Danny and Justin radio program. He's a dear

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.359
friend of mine. He does know ball. He is the

00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.019

follow him on the socials. Isaac underscore Streeter.

00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:31.900
Welcome in. How are you, sir? I'm well. How are

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:35.000
you, gents? We are fine. Paraguay leads Germany

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.440
at the half 1 -0. If that is something you're

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:40.480
following right now. And Brazil had a tough time

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.259
against Japan. I'm enjoying a late breakfast,

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:46.240
early lunch, and I get a frantic text. I don't

00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.000
know how frantic it was. I think it was frantic.

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.960
From Baby J, where he says, Japan's up on Brazil.

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:55.119
I was excited. Yeah, for a second. I was stimulated.

00:22:57.500 --> 00:23:02.059
That's so gonna be a drop. Isaac, what's occupying

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:05.640
your time? The portal for college baseball ends

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:09.619
tomorrow. I want to talk about Oregon in a second,

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.720
but I was a little surprised Trent Carraway went

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.980
on the move again. Now in his third school in

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:18.500
three years, as he lands, what, in Miami? Is

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:21.819
that the U now? Yep at the you announced that

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:24.420
commitment yesterday third school in three years.

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:27.240
That's a an interesting ride for that young man

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.859
So wait, where do you I don't know Do you have

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:32.500
any thoughts on where this is it just money that's

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:34.339
motivating him? Is he trying to find the right

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:36.859
fit? Is he just kind of feeling like, you know,

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.299
I'm a traveling man and I make a lot of stops

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:43.839
You know, it's a good question that I always

00:23:44.190 --> 00:23:47.769
never want to critique a person in his position,

00:23:47.970 --> 00:23:50.569
because if I could hit a baseball like he can,

00:23:50.670 --> 00:23:54.630
I would probably be hunting some cash myself,

00:23:55.130 --> 00:23:57.630
if I'm being completely frank. But last year,

00:23:57.690 --> 00:24:03.609
it seemed like it was a decision between... Was

00:24:03.609 --> 00:24:05.269
he going to enter the draft? Because he was coming

00:24:05.269 --> 00:24:07.990
off that ridiculous where he morphed into Barry

00:24:07.990 --> 00:24:11.390
Bonds for the NCAA postseason. Truly one of the

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:13.890
most incredible postseason performances I've

00:24:13.890 --> 00:24:17.990
seen was his 2025 Corvallis Regional. Hits the

00:24:17.990 --> 00:24:20.029
portal. He's draft eligible. So he's playing

00:24:20.029 --> 00:24:23.750
his leverage. Ends up at LSU. Had a really, really

00:24:23.750 --> 00:24:26.569
bad year. And now he's sitting pretty well on

00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:28.369
the Cape this summer from what I've seen back

00:24:28.369 --> 00:24:32.259
at Miami. He's still draft eligible. So, you

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:34.119
know, I think it'll be a matter of, you know,

00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.960
it's just kind of, he went and hunted money and

00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.579
was weighing his professional options after a

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:43.259
really hot year at Oregon State, had a bad year

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:46.559
at LSU where his draft stock tanked, if anything.

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.940
And now he's looking for another year to play.

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.279
And, you know, Miami's got a third base opening

00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:54.039
with Daniel Covey moving on. So I think it's

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:58.940
more just what he had perceived to be a potential

00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:01.779
really, really big breakout. you know, potentially

00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:04.119
very successful campaign. LSU just didn't go

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.019
his way and now he's looking for another home.

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:09.359
Yeah, interested that he landed at Miami. Not

00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:11.220
really sure what the connection is there, but

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:13.599
he was a talented baseball player and was always

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:16.779
a funny kid to interview. I'll never forget the

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:21.039
last time we ever saw him was after Oregon State

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.200
punched its ticket to that Super Regional. Last

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.930
time I got to chat with him, I should say. he

00:25:27.930 --> 00:25:31.109
was the most sunburned I had ever seen a person

00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:33.630
after playing like two days or something. And

00:25:33.630 --> 00:25:35.990
we asked him, Trent, did you put on any sunscreen

00:25:35.990 --> 00:25:38.450
today? And he looks down at his red forearms

00:25:38.450 --> 00:25:41.150
and says, oh, well, I am Norwegian and walks

00:25:41.150 --> 00:25:44.930
away. And that was kind of the Trent Carraway

00:25:44.930 --> 00:25:48.319
experience in a nutshell. very very funny kid

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.859
and man he could really swing a bat and by the

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:53.059
way wish the best for anyone and especially a

00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:55.539
kid like that because you know he he paid his

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:58.160
dues wherever he went and i i don't begrudge

00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.700
anybody especially in this day and age of going

00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:02.660
out and doing what they think is in their best

00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:04.339
interest or their family's best interest so i

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:06.380
know we're all in the same boat on that it's

00:26:06.380 --> 00:26:08.619
Isaac Streeter joining us from the Portland Tribune

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:10.619
Oregon and Oregon State beat writer and a proud

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:13.339
Sac State alum he's here on the Danny Justin

00:26:13.339 --> 00:26:16.259
radio program for the last time on this program.

00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:20.059
Real quick. And I don't know if the word cautionary

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:21.660
tale should be used in this, but I'm going to

00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:22.940
throw it out there because this first thing that

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:26.700
comes to my head is like a Trent Carraway case,

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.180
kind of a cautionary tale to other players that

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:32.740
maybe staying home might be a good thing because

00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:35.599
I think on the Oregon State roster, Trent Carraway

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.119
would have had just as many bombs and probably

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.460
helped Oregon State, especially at PK Park near

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:42.220
the end of the season where they needed that.

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:44.259
It seemed like the last piece Oregon State needed

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:48.259
consistently was offense. Am I wrong? No, I don't

00:26:48.259 --> 00:26:51.000
think you're wrong, but I also I I would hesitate

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:52.720
to call it a cautionary tale because when you

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.200
look around the landscape of College baseball

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.900
and even college football so many of these kids

00:26:57.900 --> 00:27:01.079
that end up transferring end up It you know for

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:03.140
a lot of them it can end up helping I mean I

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:07.019
think of Aiden Robbins right away when you know

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:09.940
He he transferred from Seton Hall and is probably

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:11.440
gonna end up a first -round pick after the way

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.660
He played in Texas this past year And I think

00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:17.299
had Carraway stayed at Oregon State, it presents

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:19.180
kind of an interesting question of how that infield

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:21.180
ends up structured, because he only played third

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:24.039
base. And Paul Vasquez was so incredible with

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.440
the glove this year. Trent, for as good of a

00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.359
bat he was, definitely struggled defensively.

00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:30.339
So then I think it kind of turns into like, well,

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:32.079
are you putting Trent in the outfield? How does

00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.279
all of that work? How do the pieces kind of come

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:37.559
together there? And it just kind of seemed like

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.420
the two sides were kind of ready to part ways.

00:27:41.219 --> 00:27:43.859
You know, he he goes on the move there and and

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:45.920
Oregon State figures it out Obviously, you know

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.160
any any bat would have helped that team. I'm

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.079
just curious how it would have ended up You know

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.319
getting him in the lineup new beavers pitching

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.240
coach Andrew Moore added a couple of pitchers

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:56.779
to his staff I was on Thursday and Friday of

00:27:56.779 --> 00:27:59.819
last week Washington transfer Carson Boesel and

00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:01.960
then D2 Montana State Billings right -hander

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:03.839
Sam Cox And do you think what do you know about

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:05.299
those guys first of all? And then do you think

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:06.720
that's a little bit of a vision of what we're

00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:08.700
gonna see from more in terms of what? He wants

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:11.369
as a pitching coach Yeah, and speaking of that

00:28:11.369 --> 00:28:13.250
they also added another last night. They got

00:28:13.250 --> 00:28:15.710
Cade Queen who was also from Montana State Billings

00:28:15.710 --> 00:28:18.089
out of the D2 ranks Yeah, so they've got the

00:28:18.089 --> 00:28:22.309
2025 and 2026 GNAC freshman of the year coming

00:28:22.309 --> 00:28:25.690
into the program now off that roster Both of

00:28:25.690 --> 00:28:28.289
them kind of with crooked at ERAs But I mean

00:28:28.289 --> 00:28:30.390
it's Montana and they play their season so much

00:28:30.390 --> 00:28:33.930
earlier whether it was never gonna be a Big help

00:28:33.930 --> 00:28:37.150
to them as goes with you know elevation and such

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:40.940
My childhood best friend, Griffin Williams, big

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:43.839
shout out, actually played at St. Martin's, which

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.460
is in the same conference. And, you know, he

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:48.059
kind of attested to look more at the underlying

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:51.099
stuff here rather than the actual production

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:54.559
just because D3 or D2 baseball is weird. I think

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.940
it is kind of the blueprint. I think they're

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:58.420
making it very clear what they're looking for.

00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:00.680
They're looking for guys who have experienced

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:02.319
pitching. They don't really care what level it's

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.400
at. They're looking for guys like, you know,

00:29:04.460 --> 00:29:07.839
all three of those arms are high below stuff

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:10.799
or, you know, look good on the track and, um,

00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:13.259
stuff. I believe it was Queen's been up to like

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:17.779
95. Um, the Cox and kid, I think was up to like

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:21.319
97 from what his recruiting stuff said. So, you

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:22.759
know, they're looking for projectable bodies

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:24.920
who have experience, you know, pitching and,

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.099
and, uh, you know, more is coming from a great

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:30.019
pitching development. club in the Cleveland Guardians,

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:32.440
and certainly can apply all those things, the

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.940
resources they have at Oregon State. So interesting

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:37.059
group, interesting mix of guys. Curious to see

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:39.400
how they all kind of slot in. I'm using the phrase

00:29:39.400 --> 00:29:41.680
projectable bodies now. I've got to drop that

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.519
in somewhere. That's awesome. It's Isaac Streeter

00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.980
joining us from the Portland Tribune. So I know

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:47.980
it's still early because the portal has not closed,

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.519
even though there have been some movement in

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:51.299
signings. We'll talk about Oregon and those that

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:53.920
had left and there have been a couple of signings.

00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.059
But for Mitch Kahneman, Oregon State right now,

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:58.420
we talked about the pitching, but elsewhere is

00:29:58.420 --> 00:30:00.779
is the Oregon State roster getting bulked up

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:03.200
or is it too early to tell? Because obviously

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.359
nobody's done until that portal closes and then

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.250
it's going to be the rest of the free for. all

00:30:08.250 --> 00:30:11.569
sure I'm and you know I'm thinking back to last

00:30:11.569 --> 00:30:13.750
time I came on I think I was ultimately pretty

00:30:13.750 --> 00:30:16.670
critical of how they were attacking the portal

00:30:16.670 --> 00:30:20.329
kind of in those early stages that said I mean

00:30:20.329 --> 00:30:22.509
might have been some of my own oversight there

00:30:22.509 --> 00:30:25.400
but you know We forgot to totally forgot to mention

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.839
Diego Cruz, who was the Mac freshman of the year

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.720
and is going to play second base for this team.

00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:33.240
But kind of, you know, he's the headline offensive

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.859
transfer, but kind of around this, I think they're

00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:37.200
in a very different spot from where they were

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.799
last year, where last year you were looking at

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.759
this team coming into the year that didn't bring

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.259
in a ton of transfers and was going to play a

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:48.039
lot of young guys or program veterans. And now

00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.240
heading into this next year. it's also kind of

00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:52.980
the same batch of young guys. So I think they're

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:55.400
kind of making the decision. We're going to stick

00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:56.680
to our guns. We're going to ride with the guys

00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:59.059
we've got. And if we got to rebuild the offense,

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:01.099
we got to rebuild the offense. But, you know,

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:03.000
you're looking at Josh Proctor, who was kind

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.079
of a revelation at times last year, Ethan Porter,

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.079
who's got really great basketball skills and

00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:08.299
seems like they're going to want to stick in

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:10.920
the outfield long term. Adam Hayes is a physical

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.740
tool shed that I think if he really puts it together

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:16.299
in year three, we can be talking about a very

00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:18.750
special player for them in the outfield. You

00:31:18.750 --> 00:31:21.829
know Josh Natai another Aussie that they brought

00:31:21.829 --> 00:31:24.289
over last year didn't play a ton, but have some

00:31:24.289 --> 00:31:26.369
pretty legit power You know I think they're just

00:31:26.369 --> 00:31:29.609
kind of Sticking to their recruiting cycle and

00:31:29.609 --> 00:31:32.170
recruiting process guys And and those are kind

00:31:32.170 --> 00:31:33.950
of the ones they're gonna play this year be it

00:31:33.950 --> 00:31:36.430
for better or worse But I think that's you know

00:31:36.430 --> 00:31:38.369
kind of the approach they're taking So from what

00:31:38.369 --> 00:31:39.730
I'm getting is you feel like there is a little

00:31:39.730 --> 00:31:42.069
bit more of a building this year last year You

00:31:42.069 --> 00:31:44.650
know some guys that were going to be promoted

00:31:44.650 --> 00:31:46.490
from within this year You can kind of add a little

00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:48.730
bit to what you had kind of flipping on the other

00:31:48.730 --> 00:31:51.950
side the Ducks had a Big transfer announced where

00:31:51.950 --> 00:31:54.529
he was going to go today novel Milwaukee jr.

00:31:54.710 --> 00:31:56.490
Has the side he's going to Georgia. We're not

00:31:56.490 --> 00:31:58.940
surprised He's going to the SEC you could have

00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:00.359
picked a team and I would have said alright that

00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:03.299
makes sense It's a guy that batted 321 last season

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:05.559
in 14 home runs when he was recovering from Tommy

00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.359
John So he decided to pull a Shohei Otani say

00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:10.279
alright. I'll just I'll just be a home run hitter,

00:32:10.299 --> 00:32:13.619
but Does it seem like the Ducks are gonna need

00:32:13.619 --> 00:32:15.500
a flurry of moves here in the next few days?

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:17.480
Like are they gonna be able to build based on

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.200
what they did last season obviously they've lost

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:21.140
a lot they still have a good amount of talent

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:23.799
on the team, but Are they gonna be able to build

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.079
on it? I guess I think Oregon already has. I

00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:29.420
think when you look at their portal moves thus

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:33.700
far, their pitching staff is so young that they're

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.759
going to be able to build around that. You're

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.700
probably looking to replace a starter or two.

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:41.880
I think Colin Clark ends up signing. He is committed

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:44.200
to TCU, but not with the teams. You're losing

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.119
that guy from the rotation. Cal Scolari is probably

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.059
signing in this draft if I had to guess. Obviously,

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:52.819
I don't really have any insight, intel on that,

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:56.920
just kind of guessing here. his, you know, ability

00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.039
to spin a baseball and the below that guy's gotten

00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:01.940
into is, you know, pretty impressive. So he's

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:04.000
draft eligible. I would assume he's gone. But

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:05.740
then kind of after that, you're looking at, well,

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.019
what is Tanner Bradley next year? Is he a closer

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:09.640
or are you stretching him out to be a starter?

00:33:10.259 --> 00:33:12.099
Personally, I love the belief that, you know,

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:13.640
we're kind of looking at the guy that they want

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.759
to stretch out and could be a starter for them

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:18.480
next year. They were very high on Jonah Barkoff,

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:20.160
and I liked some of the stuff we saw from him

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.559
last year. Luke Morgan's a guy on that staff,

00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:25.980
so it'll be interesting to see how they do that,

00:33:25.980 --> 00:33:28.039
but I think their offense is still in a good

00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.579
spot. I mean, no one wants to lose Angel Lyer

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:34.160
and Nellie Vo to the portal, but you know, I

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.359
think they've got options and guys coming in.

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.000
I mean, Jax Jimenez is a spark plug for this

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:41.039
team. We talked about Briggs Rowe last time I

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.990
was on. I think he'll play second base. They

00:33:44.990 --> 00:33:47.309
added, I believe his name's Jake Evans. He was

00:33:47.309 --> 00:33:49.890
a third baseman at Long Beach State. So they've

00:33:49.890 --> 00:33:51.710
got guys coming in. They're gonna be able to

00:33:51.710 --> 00:33:54.529
figure out how to fill all this out. And Jack

00:33:54.529 --> 00:33:56.670
Brooks could be back. We'll see how that goes,

00:33:57.289 --> 00:33:59.130
but could have him in center field again. Isaiah

00:33:59.130 --> 00:34:01.829
Hearn is an incoming freshman, having a pretty

00:34:01.829 --> 00:34:04.349
strong summer right now in the WCL. So they've

00:34:04.349 --> 00:34:06.509
got options kind of around the diamond to construct

00:34:06.509 --> 00:34:09.219
an offense. Well, and it looks like the replacement,

00:34:09.380 --> 00:34:10.559
because we haven't heard his name, and thank

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.119
goodness I'm sure Mark Wasikowski's probably

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.440
had a few sleepless nights waiting and hoping

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.119
the phone is not ringing, is that Braden Jackson

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.539
is probably going to be behind the plate now

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:20.239
with Berkeley, maybe is signing with Mississippi

00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.780
State. Now, yeah, again, that's a that's a subtraction,

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.360
but in addition, when you are able to hold on

00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:27.300
to someone like Jackson, I want to go back to

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:29.860
the the bump, though, and I think something that's

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:31.860
getting washed over a little bit as a kid who

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:35.679
missed the entire last season, a la like not

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.440
Tanner Bradley, but. I mean, more like a Toby

00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.559
twist or whatever is Ian Omelot's coming back.

00:34:39.860 --> 00:34:41.960
He said he's rolling it back. He didn't see the

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:45.559
field this year. I know he got engaged over the

00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:48.039
last spring, but he says he's rolling it back.

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:50.219
Where do you see him fitting into the whole rotation?

00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.760
I don't know the exact timeline on which Ian

00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.559
got his Tommy John, but I do know that he was

00:34:56.559 --> 00:35:00.579
a Tommy John guy this off season. So based on

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:03.849
his recovery time, I mean, we... It's it's so

00:35:03.849 --> 00:35:05.670
interesting with those kids and I would put it

00:35:05.670 --> 00:35:07.969
at more a shot that we probably don't see him

00:35:07.969 --> 00:35:09.710
this year if he's still building up back from

00:35:09.710 --> 00:35:12.530
that Yeah, just cuz I don't know when the surgery

00:35:12.530 --> 00:35:15.250
was I mean if he if he got that surgery in February

00:35:15.250 --> 00:35:17.389
It's a very different conversation, but if he

00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:19.630
got it, you know two weeks ago You're probably

00:35:19.630 --> 00:35:21.329
not seeing him this year just with how those

00:35:21.329 --> 00:35:23.409
recovery timelines are. So I'm always hesitant

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:26.960
try and project when, you know, elbow guys could

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.380
be coming back, especially with the Dax Whitney

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:32.119
conversation looming over my head. Notice we

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:33.880
didn't ask about him, though, by the way, right?

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:36.460
Yeah, no, you're all good. You're all good. I

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:38.019
don't think Dax Whitney has ever thrown another

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:39.559
pitch in college baseball, for what it's worth.

00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:42.880
I agree. Almont's an interesting case. I mean,

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.619
you know, you could see him back, but they've

00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:48.199
got guys that they trust in. And I think Matt

00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.440
Flores got quite the vision. Yeah, excellent.

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:52.440
All right, so we're going to wind it up by you

00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.159
are a man of honor and humility, texting out

00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:58.739
after yes, after the latest Cubs Brewer series,

00:35:58.739 --> 00:36:00.960
which was right down to the wire, the last game

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:03.559
goes to extra innings. And the Cubs have to hold

00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:05.500
on after scoring three runs in the top half of

00:36:05.500 --> 00:36:07.619
the 10th, give up two in the bottom, but they

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:09.519
win the series now still five and a half back

00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.500
of your brewers. So I just want to ask you, though,

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.139
if you're If you're Jed Hoyer, I mean, are you,

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:21.340
because you're, this is like a guerrilla tactics

00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:23.280
here, because I know you root for the Brewers

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.519
and you could care less about the Cubs. But if

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.039
you're Jed Hoyer, I mean, with all the injuries

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:32.199
you had in your pitching rotation and your bullpen,

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:34.500
are you going out and trying to get another arm?

00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:35.880
Because they already did that. They went and

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.760
got... Former Duck. Former Duck is... Peterson.

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.630
Yeah. David Peterson from from the Mets So are

00:36:42.630 --> 00:36:44.869
you gonna keep doing that to try and keep up

00:36:44.869 --> 00:36:46.130
with the Brewers? Because it doesn't seem like

00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:47.570
the Cubs are gonna sell now looks like they're

00:36:47.570 --> 00:36:50.639
gonna buy Yeah, I mean, I think anytime you're

00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.500
in a spot where you feasibly can buy you probably

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:57.019
probably should I'm not super familiar with what

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:58.920
the Cubs farm looks like right now or what they

00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:00.719
would have to offer or should you be market?

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.760
Yeah, nor should yeah What they would have to

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.239
offer on the market, but I I'm sure I mean there's

00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.059
always a starter out there You can always go

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:11.000
get one. I probably would I'm again I'm not super

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.500
familiar with you know kind of the Cubs injury

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:16.320
light at the moment But if you can buy a starter

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:20.079
go buy a starter man doesn't get much uh cut

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:23.000
and dry than that. Okay so what are the Brewers

00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:26.039
gonna do if you're the GM? What do you need?

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:27.639
What are the Brewers going to do? Am I the GM?

00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:29.960
Yeah if you're the GM. Isaac Streeter gets to

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:31.980
decide. Isaac Streeter gets to decide the fate

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:33.659
of the Brewers for the last half of the season.

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:35.980
Oh man. What are you doing? I've got so many

00:37:35.980 --> 00:37:38.599
thoughts on this. Well just give me your top

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:42.340
two, okay? Give me your top two. Go get a roll

00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:44.380
to Schottman from the Red Sox. Okay. The Brewers

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:48.420
need a legitimate closer. you know, I like admiral

00:37:48.420 --> 00:37:50.320
rebate as much to the next guy that he's I think

00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.039
he's more the setup man right now. If you can

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.559
go get a roll this and go left, you know how

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:56.139
the lefty closer out of the bullpen. I think

00:37:56.139 --> 00:37:59.460
that really strengthens them. And then I think

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:03.610
you're looking at like, uh, I hesitate to say

00:38:03.610 --> 00:38:05.349
that you should go get a third baseman just because

00:38:05.349 --> 00:38:08.110
I like David Hamilton so much But you know, he's

00:38:08.110 --> 00:38:10.409
just not a super talented bat I guess but um,

00:38:10.829 --> 00:38:12.550
you know, maybe maybe a center fielder if you

00:38:12.550 --> 00:38:15.050
move off south real it go get a corner outfielder

00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:16.829
Something along those lines, but I think mostly

00:38:16.829 --> 00:38:18.769
if you can just bolster the bullpen go get yourself

00:38:18.769 --> 00:38:21.929
a closer That team gets real nasty really quick.

00:38:22.050 --> 00:38:24.050
Well, that's how the fans have seen adding a

00:38:24.050 --> 00:38:26.570
role to Chapman can be a direct Line to a World

00:38:26.570 --> 00:38:29.369
Series. So maybe the world series championship.

00:38:29.429 --> 00:38:32.030
Exactly. We can replicate that I just want to

00:38:32.030 --> 00:38:33.530
turn our attention to the American League real

00:38:33.530 --> 00:38:36.289
quick. There's only four teams in the American

00:38:36.289 --> 00:38:40.610
League above 500 crazy to me Isaac is this the

00:38:40.610 --> 00:38:44.449
Most disparity you've ever seen between two leagues.

00:38:44.449 --> 00:38:46.329
It was the American League for forever All the

00:38:46.329 --> 00:38:47.429
American League is better the American League

00:38:47.429 --> 00:38:50.489
is better and now it's completely flipped and

00:38:50.489 --> 00:38:51.909
it feels like everybody's in the National League

00:38:51.909 --> 00:38:54.309
So is this the most disparity you've ever seen?

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.699
It's gotta be I mean I can't think of another

00:38:57.699 --> 00:39:00.739
season where it's been this bad And I don't really

00:39:00.739 --> 00:39:03.400
know why but man the American League just stinks

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:06.199
It's bad. I know that the AL Central is just

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.380
like a wasteland. I mean shout out the White

00:39:08.380 --> 00:39:10.719
Sox They're having quite the year, but man all

00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:12.880
those teams just stink it makes my heart hurt

00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.699
because I'm a I'm a pseudo Mariners fan and man

00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:17.619
They've just been terrible. Can they get it together?

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:21.599
Yeah, the Mariners think so I think so, but the

00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:23.820
the Mariners are like Sisyphus of Major League

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:26.599
Baseball Where every single they're they're stoned

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:28.340
to roll up the hill every year is we should acquire?

00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.340
And and you know, they always just think we're

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:37.159
a DH away and then they're stuck with like a

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.780
first baseman who cartoons and it just never

00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:41.920
works out for them so I don't know what we got

00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:44.559
to do to fix the Mariners but Anything to get

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:47.550
my boy Brian Wu the China and the World Series.

00:39:48.250 --> 00:39:51.750

00:39:58.150 --> 00:40:00.010
couple of years. Really appreciate your insight.

Hawker Yeah, you've heard of all these guests

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:03.260
you you you will know everyone and I think we've

00:43:03.260 --> 00:43:05.820
got like eight eight of them Yeah over the first

00:43:05.820 --> 00:43:07.280
two hours of the program. So we're gonna be going

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.820
like a rapid fire So I went two and three goose

00:43:09.820 --> 00:43:13.000
went three and two laura went two and three vegas

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.500
went two and three steve Steve went two and three

00:43:16.500 --> 00:43:19.940
So and it was pretty split. It was actually uh

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:21.500
more people picking the cubs and the brewers.

00:43:21.500 --> 00:43:25.139
That was wrong You were the only one to get Egypt

00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:27.800
and Iran right, by the way. The tie? That was

00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:31.360
your lone win of Big Ben. It wasn't even a real

00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:35.400
win. It was a tie. I love the synergy of that

00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:38.619
is that your only win was when nobody won. That's

00:43:38.619 --> 00:43:41.260
awesome. So there you go. All right, so let's

00:43:41.260 --> 00:43:42.980
stay on the World Cup. Right now, Germany has

00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:46.500
tied it up with Paraguay. 57th minute. It's 1

00:43:46.500 --> 00:43:48.659
-1 in the round. Now we're in the knockout rounds.

00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:51.219
Now this is, you know, single elimination. You

00:43:51.219 --> 00:43:55.090
lose, you're done. your bags, go home, and Japan

00:43:55.090 --> 00:43:58.070
took Brazil. How late was it? Because I missed

00:43:58.070 --> 00:43:59.690
the end of it. I was going on my walk. How late

00:43:59.690 --> 00:44:02.949
was the goal? The game -winning goal? 95th minute.

00:44:02.969 --> 00:44:05.269
I was going to say it had to be, because I left

00:44:05.269 --> 00:44:08.170
when it was like the 92nd minute, and I was thinking,

00:44:08.190 --> 00:44:09.730
well, I'm not going to. You'll catch extra time.

00:44:10.070 --> 00:44:11.449
I was going to catch it when I got back, but

00:44:11.449 --> 00:44:13.570
that wasn't the case. So Brazil has a scare.

00:44:13.969 --> 00:44:16.550
Germany was behind for pretty much the first

00:44:16.550 --> 00:44:20.449
55 minutes. They just scored in the 54th minute.

00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:24.800
So they were behind pretty much, well, only about

00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.159
12 minutes of real time, but it was nodded at

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:31.119
0 -0 for the longest period of time. But these

00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:34.440
teams now, Germany's been one of those that historically

00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:36.639
has been pretty good in the World Cup, but recently

00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:40.039
not incredible. Well, last World Cup, they missed

00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.000
out in the group stages. So this would be...

00:44:43.949 --> 00:44:45.969
And what you need to note as well is the fact

00:44:45.969 --> 00:44:47.730
that this is the first time there is a round

00:44:47.730 --> 00:44:50.469
of 32 This would typically be because one of

00:44:50.469 --> 00:44:52.309
the knocks is that there's more teams, right?

00:44:52.429 --> 00:44:54.150
Which is interesting, right? And that's you would

00:44:54.150 --> 00:44:57.610
expect for that to mean Hey these more 32 round

00:44:57.610 --> 00:44:59.550
of 32 matches are not going to be as competitive

00:44:59.550 --> 00:45:01.590
So far all three of them have been very very

00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:05.610
good and us plays Wednesday against Bosnia -Herzegovina

00:45:05.610 --> 00:45:09.710
That will be a five o 'clock rollout on the the

00:45:09.710 --> 00:45:13.699
first touch On the pitch i'm getting all that

00:45:13.699 --> 00:45:17.019
right. Yeah, so My my query to you is we just

00:45:17.019 --> 00:45:19.559
got a couple of minutes left here Is that with

00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:23.159
like brazil getting threatened by little japan?

00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.179
And paraguay is now, you know pushing germany

00:45:27.179 --> 00:45:29.900
and then you know argentina will come up in in

00:45:29.900 --> 00:45:33.679
a a bit netherlands will come up in a bit My

00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:37.239
my my theory is is that the world soccer stage

00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.059
and especially television They want all of the

00:45:40.059 --> 00:45:42.829
stars to make it through At least this round

00:45:42.829 --> 00:45:45.610
and definitely into as many of them depending

00:45:45.610 --> 00:45:47.750
on matchups Through the next round get into the

00:45:47.750 --> 00:45:49.969
final eight because if you start losing your

00:45:49.969 --> 00:45:52.829
stars Like if qatar and they're not going to

00:45:52.829 --> 00:45:54.690
you know, someone like qatar goes to or bosnia

00:45:54.690 --> 00:45:57.110
-herzegovina They go through it's like that's

00:45:57.110 --> 00:45:59.250
yeah good for the game. They don't want it, right?

00:45:59.469 --> 00:46:01.389
I think the u .s. Wouldn't be considered in that

00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:03.210
tier quite yet, but they are the host country.

00:46:03.250 --> 00:46:05.449
There's a lot of favor They are favored. I do

00:46:05.449 --> 00:46:07.349
think there is gonna be one. I mean the one tonight

00:46:07.349 --> 00:46:10.389
is I think Not too far away from those kind of

00:46:10.389 --> 00:46:12.110
matchups you're talking about Morocco and Netherlands

00:46:12.110 --> 00:46:14.730
Marco made the semi -final last time like that

00:46:14.730 --> 00:46:16.769
Morocco is really good Netherlands has won at

00:46:16.769 --> 00:46:19.190
least a couple of World Cups as well I know we're

00:46:19.190 --> 00:46:21.349
running out of time here. No, you're fine I think

00:46:21.349 --> 00:46:24.949
that you make a good point that we do as fans

00:46:24.949 --> 00:46:28.010
want to see these good teams Make it through

00:46:28.010 --> 00:46:31.460
that being said I love Brazil I'm watching brazil

00:46:31.460 --> 00:46:34.059
though. They're down one nil in the 60th minute.

00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.039
I can't help but root for japan Yeah, I was gonna

00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.780
say there was a part of it. There's like the

00:46:37.780 --> 00:46:40.000
underdog exactly It's like how cool would this

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:41.880
be? So I think we want to mix I think you want

00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:45.260
to see the storylines and bape lino messy We

00:46:45.260 --> 00:46:47.739
need these guys to progress, but there's also

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:50.190
that country that We never expect that makes

00:46:50.190 --> 00:46:51.949
it through, that goes on a little bit of a run,

00:46:52.170 --> 00:46:54.429
and we can all get behind them, and that's always

00:46:54.429 --> 00:46:56.230
really fun, too. So I think you gotta have a

00:46:56.230 --> 00:46:57.849
little bit of a mix. You know why I think that

00:46:57.849 --> 00:47:01.630
is? Because of all of the talk on a world stage

00:47:01.630 --> 00:47:03.650
about how the U .S. acts superior and things

00:47:03.650 --> 00:47:06.730
like that. We're a nation of mutts. So I think

00:47:06.730 --> 00:47:11.800
there is an intrinsic pull to the underdog. It's

00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:13.920
like we don't want the favorite to win all the

00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:15.940
time. I mean, unless I'm a fan of that team,

00:47:16.099 --> 00:47:18.360
everybody else, and then it's like hate watching

00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:22.219
or such, but there is a real pull with fandom,

00:47:22.619 --> 00:47:24.980
especially here in the U .S., for the team that

00:47:24.980 --> 00:47:26.980
is the mighty one that punches up. I mean, think

00:47:26.980 --> 00:47:29.039
about all those stories in the NCAA. We love

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.619
the 5 -12 matchups. We love the eight seed winning

00:47:31.619 --> 00:47:34.360
the entire thing. That's a great storyline. To

00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:38.190
me, much more interesting storylines. The Messy's

00:47:38.190 --> 00:47:40.829
are one of the best players that has ever graced

00:47:40.829 --> 00:47:43.469
this game, but it's like really do you need another?

00:47:43.690 --> 00:47:46.329
Do you need another World Cup title? Let somebody

00:47:46.329 --> 00:47:48.150
it's like you're almost like this. You're almost

00:47:48.150 --> 00:47:50.789
like the Patriots right now. We'll see another

00:47:50.789 --> 00:47:53.730
Great upset. We'll see another team maker run.

00:47:53.829 --> 00:47:56.309
We will never see a Leo no messy doing what he's

00:47:56.309 --> 00:47:58.349
doing We have never seen this before we will

00:47:58.349 --> 00:48:00.969
never see this and maybe we will again, but it

00:48:00.969 --> 00:48:03.030
won't be for a long time Every game I watch,

00:48:03.469 --> 00:48:06.570
I think this might be the last time I ever get

00:48:06.570 --> 00:48:09.110
to watch this guy play. And every single time,

00:48:09.429 --> 00:48:11.630
he comes through. We've never seen this, and

00:48:11.630 --> 00:48:15.630
I don't know when we ever will. Oh, a joke! I

00:48:15.630 --> 00:48:17.550
got a fire from the bank today. A woman asked

00:48:17.550 --> 00:48:19.650
me to check her balance, so I pushed her. Dad

00:48:19.650 --> 00:48:24.769
jokes! What do you call sweets that can keep

00:48:24.769 --> 00:48:32.880
a beat? This is some sort of root or something

00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.840
like that sweets that can keep a beat. I don't

00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:41.800
know candy wrappers handy wrappers Okay All right.

00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:44.420

00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:47.079
