00:00:12

00:00:13
Speaker 2: Late night, six hours, thirty nine minutes, one of the greatest World Series games that maybe you didn't see. That's one of those where you go, I'm going to be watching SportsCenter in the morning and one of the great home runs of all time that I don't know how many people got to see Freddie Freeman go deep to win that game last night. All right, come on in, stay a while, we'll dissect this. Kevin Malar of Major League Baseball Network was there. We'll let him sleep in for a little bit. He'll join us later.

All of that coming up. So the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays on Freddie Freeman's home run in the eighteenth as they lead two games to one. Can we play what it sounded like?

00:01:44
Speaker 3: Marvin?

00:01:44
Speaker 2: Do we have the call? On AM five seventy, Little delivers Freeman. It's one high in the air, straightaway center field parcel, petal walk.

00:02:01
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman missed a World Series ends.

00:02:06
Speaker 5: The marathon at midnight.

00:02:09
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman is one of four players with multiple walk off home runs in the postseason, so David Ortiz, Bernie Williams in Carlos, Korea, but Freddie is the only player in baseball history with multiple walk off home runs in the World Series. Shoho tani Oh, by the way, had two home runs two doubles. They also walked him five times, four intentionally. And that's one of those moments where, and we were talking about this earlier this morning, we're actually watching the greatest baseball player of all time. We're watching him in real time. It's happening right now. It's not one of those Hey, you should have seen that guy play. He's the greatest baseball player.

00:02:50
Speaker 3: Of all time.

00:02:52
Speaker 2: Babe Ruth did something, but he didn't do it together. He didn't do a combination. That doesn't mean he couldn't have done it, but he didn't do it. He was a great pitcher, best pitcher in the game, and then all of a sudden decided to be the greatest hitter. Show Hey Otani with what he and he pitches tonight, So you're going to have that performance where you walk him four times. And I talked about this when the series started. If you don't have left handed pitching against the Dodgers, you're in trouble because you don't have you got Freddie Freeman and show Hey Otani, and if you don't have somebody that you can bring in and go, I can.

00:03:26
Speaker 3: Get that guy out.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: They've gotten to the point where he's getting Bond's treatment and I want you to pitch in shame.

00:03:34
Speaker 3: If you're going to intentionally walk him.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: I want you to throw the four pitches that look silly because you don't want to face him. I don't want it to be I had we're going to walk him and I point him to first base. Nope, I want you to pitch in shame. I want you to acknowledge that you can't get him out, and you throw those four pitches. But I mean one of the home runs, I went, oh.

00:03:55
Speaker 3: What are we doing?

00:03:57
Speaker 2: What do you How could you possibly put it anywhere near that? And they did, and I'm thinking, oh, my goodness, so Ohtani made him pay. Freddie Freeman made him pay. There was one nervous moment there when Clayton Kershaw was in with the bases loaded.

00:04:16
Speaker 4: Oh.

00:04:16
Speaker 2: I just was like, just get the out, go, sit down, don't pitch anymore, and maybe you win the World Series.

00:04:25
Speaker 3: But they would cut away to his wife.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: Oh, you talk about the ebb and flow, the highs and lows, and you rarely think about when you're the family is there watching this, Oh, just get off the mount. That's all I could think of. But watching that last night, or at least as long as I could. You're watching the best player in baseball history.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: Now.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: I know people are going to say, well, what about Babe Ruth. Babe was a better hitter. But what he is doing at the same time, And imagine, just imagine if he goes out there tonight and pitches at five or six innings quality baseball and everybody emptied their bullpen like this is one of those losses. That's not just one loss. You used your bullpen, you realize you can't pitch to Otani, and all of a sudden you're gonna face him on the mound. That was That was monumental I think last night. But up two games to one. I know it's only one game. All it takes is, you know, a couple of breaks going your way, but that one, that one's stinging, and you got to turn around and go back out there and play again tonight. And then the next game is on Wednesday. So these pitching staffs are really going to be taxed. But that's where if you get Yamamoto, who gives you a complete game, if Otani can give you five or six innings here, you have an incredible advantage here. All right, See, let's pull question for hour one.

00:05:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, when you look at his at bats last night, show Heotani, he had a double, a home run, a double, a home run. He was then intentionally walked four straight times and then walk the fifth time.

00:06:02
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a night. Yeah, when you're talking about let me see. So he walked five times, four intentionally, reach based nine times nine times in the game, the only player to be walked intentionally four times in a postseason game since they started tracking this in nineteen fifty five.

00:06:22
Speaker 4: It's fine, Paul is just saying, if you took that series of at bats from show Hey, Tony, just from last night, that's good enough to win a World Series MVP.

00:06:30
Speaker 2: For the whole series, so week, the whole thing. If you had two doubles and two home runs, well, he won the National League the NLCS MVP based off one game, and he might win this MVP wait based off one game.

Speaker 2: Steve Young, Hall of Famer, three time Super Bowl champ with the Niners and won a Super Bowl MVP as well. Back on the program Good to see You again? Is there a show heyo Tani in the NFL?

00:07:38
Speaker 3: Or was there?

00:07:38
Speaker 7: Oh? Patrick? Patrick?

00:07:40
Speaker 8: As close as anybody, right, I mean that's that's as close as you get.

00:07:46
Speaker 7: But no show. How you're Tony? I mean, I mean pitch and a hit. That's I was just make fun of baseball in front of my baseball friends, Like you know, I got a blister for fifteen days. You know, you know it's like then they go, oh six two games or the sixteen like you know, we just go back and forth. But baseball, when you're pitching the ball, when you're pitching and shutting people out and hitting home run that game a couple weeks ago. That was the old timers. So no, Patrick Mahomes is the one guy right now that I would put in that spot. But there are some Superman Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson when he's helping Superman. You know, there's some cool people to watch. That's for sure. Entertaining.

00:08:28
Speaker 2: Knowing that we were going to have you on today, I was thinking about this last night watching Patrick Mahomes keep a play alive. The difference between keeping a play alive and what these younger quarterbacks do and kind of scrambling it. You know, is it semantics here because Mahomes seems to always do something correct, where these younger guys try to extend a play and they end up getting sacked.

00:08:51
Speaker 7: Man, you're bringing up the most important question in sports, because if the NFL is the biggest sport in the game, in the quarterback the most important position. This is the most important question for quarterbacks because the game today, of course we talk about every.

00:09:05
Speaker 8: Week or whenever I'm on about the fact that it's now a game that's wide open and you have to attack the line of scrimmage from the quarterback position or else you're out and so then becomes the question that I had to deal with my whole life is when do you go when?

00:09:19
Speaker 7: And what are we doing while we're waiting? And I think that's and then how do you coach it? So many really smart quarterback coaches are now having to adjust and figure out how do I coach a guy who can move around and can threaten line of scrimmage? And so young players like I think of just fields right now going through this incredible challenge of when like the incredible athlete, right I can do amazing things, Yet I need to be a sophisticated passer. I know it. I know in my heart that's what I've got to become. And so how do I hang in there and fake it till I make it kind of thing? And then when do I need to go? Because I don't really know, I'm not really sure. So I really got to lean on my athleticism. So the question of the day is that how do I how do I know that? Patrick Mahomes says we find it where he doesn't move unless it's purposeful. And because he owns the data, he's he's been around a long time, He's he is a sophisticated passer from the pocket, and so that allows him to get the most out of every play. And when you get the most out of every play, then you know when the play is dead one it's done, or I don't have a choice, I'll go. And once I go, that's a whole other plays to play that that's a play we didn't call, but it's a play we get. And now I get another chance to run the run a new play on offense, and then I have another play, a third play. I'm actually gonna run it and he and he has that unique ability of his body. It's like he doesn't even really trying or he's kind of like gliding and people are missing and he's like, so there's there's three really in distinct plays for Patrick, and when you really understand the game, you can't. That's how it's also hard to stop. And the young players, they have three plays, but they don't run them right and they're trying to figure out how to run him.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: Can you single out the greatest season of quarterback has ever had.

00:11:03
Speaker 7: Because it's their adjusted You've got different times and places and you know, it's impossible to me. There are some amazing years that people have had, but I mean, obviously, I guess you've got to be the MVP and run to win the Super Bowl to make it that list. Yeah, and then it becomes pretty subjective to people about what you know, how old they are when it happened, and you know who they liked, and you.

00:11:28
Speaker 3: Know that kind of thing.

00:11:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm looking at Mahomes and I'm thinking, while watching Otania, I'm witnessing the greatest baseball player of all time.

00:11:37
Speaker 3: I am.

00:11:38
Speaker 2: I'm watching it right. I got to see Michael Jordan play. I'm witnessing that firsthand. And I'm watching Mahomes and he's not the greatest quarterback of all time, but I'm watching him play a position that's the toughest position in all the sports, and he plays it in such a unique way. And he's played it where he throws for fifty touchdowns and then he throws for twenty five touchdowns and is still as effective.

00:12:04
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think, Okay, first of all, let's back up, I mean, real quickly, a little history lesson. We do this every time. Ten years ago, they changed the rules and the rules where you can't launch defenders in the head first, and so it opened the game up and so it changed so that now you can run college plays, you can run the slipscreen, you can run all the cool stuff and fun stuff. And Patrick is the person for today's game. And then let's not hit ourselves. The innovative minds who jumped into that rule change, Andy Reid, Kyle Shaney, and Sean McVay, Sean Payton. That was the big four that jumped in and had a tactical advantage for a little while. So you've married one of the most innovative minds and continually innovative and Andy Reid with Patrick Mahomes. That's what I watch every week. I do. I don't watch it, but just Patrick Mahomes every week. I watch Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes every week and how they have combined to create all this fun stuff and then Patrick refined its gain you. I appreciate what you're saying. This is a time for us to watch Patrick Mahons and just sit back in awe of the athleticism, the brain, the into intuition, and the presence. One thing I remember when I watched The Monday Night I was there in Denver when he first started, and he was he was I was standing right the sidelines and I and I have a set. I've watched quarterbacks my whole life, and I had this feeling. It's like he looks like he's playing in the backyard, like just his press. This is how he feels like. It's just nothing. Really is kind of laughing and have a good time. And here's his first start. He's scrambling left and right. At the end of the scramble, he takes the ball from his right and throws it and puts it in his left and throws it for a completion maybe Kelsey or so, I can't remember. And I'm like, and then he stood up and he's like, how about I making sure? He said to the rough how about that? And I thought to myself, I could only dream of being that guy that could just like be in the backyard, but yet playing the best football and the world. I think he's he's he's a magical person.

00:14:03
Speaker 2: Talking to Steve Young, the Hall of Famer, give me the team that you're still not sure about?

00:14:11
Speaker 7: How about a list, meaning the Eagles, I don't I'm not sure, really, Packers, I'm not sure. They're getting more sure. Obviously last week, the last last week was the truth when every game was like, well, that's the truth. And so the truth throughout the league was we've been met. We went through the preseason of September, we've kind of figured out who we are. Now we're gonna you know, now, we're going to tell you the truth. And that's why the Eagles I think we're you know, in the Giants that was the truth, and the Packers was the truth. And so there's a lot of teams the Rams like like, I'm getting to know those teams that figure that they're going to be there in the end. Uh. And but who do you want to talk about? Because I mean, I.

00:14:48
Speaker 2: Think like the Colts, it feels like we're going to wait until the postseason to go.

00:14:54
Speaker 7: I told you you haven't done it. Daniel Jones like the Colts, like, it's just you, we're all we're all tree majors, right, And so the Colts are not that historical last ten fifteen years like, oh yeah, the Colts will be there now. The Chiefs, you know, you've got to figure they're going to be there, and their bills or the figure they'll be there. The Eagles and even the Packers I understand all that. The Colts they always have to figure out how to prove it to you in January February. That's just because they're new. When you're new, you got it. No one cares like, Hey, this is fun, this is nice. But we'll see, we'll see in January when you go to Kansas City.

00:15:30
Speaker 2: Kansas City's got the Bills coming up, they got a bye week, they're at the Broncos, they host the Colts.

00:15:36
Speaker 7: It's fun. But I always said regular season. I mean, when we played the Cowboys in regular season, whoever won that games? Like, you know, it didn't it mattered, but it didn't matter. I just it wasn't the thing. It'll it's a sign, it's important, it's not nothing. But it's also not January. So I think there's a different shift to make sure you keep that in mind.

00:15:59
Speaker 2: But how do you trying harder at the quarterbacking position as a regular season game against the Cowboys and then a postseason game.

00:16:09
Speaker 7: It always reminded me during the week when you have a big game coming up and you have some quote from one of the other team's defensive line like we're gonna, we're gonna get Steve Other. I'm gonna I'm so focused, and like really I mean honestly, like you're more focused to kill me than the week before when you want to go like stop. And that's why I think even from the teams and quarterbacks like there's it is an emotional game. That's why New Rocky's famous, right because he made a speech. Every're like, oh we're great, like it is. You have to be inspired to run into people. So it does matter, and it does and you can get lulls of emotion and you see games where people are flat and it really shows up football. But trying extra hard that really the best teams dan don't. It's like they don't look like they're trying extra hard. If they're still focused, they're still they're but sure about it. Right, It's like we come out of the locker room. We're actually not care. We don't care who we play. We know that we're about trying to find out how good we are and that's what we that's our quest. And so this if you're if you think you're pretty good, great, come on in. We'll check you out and we'll see how I'll see how we stand. The mature teams don't rock, you know, get off and oh my gosh, this is the game, and then the next week's like, oh flat, that's the Cowboys.

00:17:29
Speaker 8: That's that's how they wrote and and that's not as mature when we were.

00:17:33
Speaker 2: I was growing up and playing football, you're always cognizant of this is going to hurt. I'm gonna get hit, this is gonna hurt. Like when do you graduate two? You don't think about that's going to hurt when.

00:17:46
Speaker 3: I get hit? Do you graduate to that point where you don't think about it?

00:17:52
Speaker 7: I will tell you, Dad, I think that's probably why you're not pro. I don't think I ever really thought.

00:17:57
Speaker 9: To myself, oh this is but I will say I'm football is the truth, and no one ever, at the moment of impact thinks, oh, I'm getting paid.

00:18:12
Speaker 7: You might think about it when you're a line of scrimmage. You're thinking that I'm getting paid and this is good, and then all of a sudden they gain and then so when you get hit. And that's why football is such an amazing game, because there is a truth to it that no one, no one's, no one cares at the moment of impact, who's who's getting paid what, And that's what really matters. And that's very pro Yeah, I won't.

00:18:41
Speaker 2: No, I think hold on here, I think we got a we lost you a little bit. Wait are you back now?

00:18:48
Speaker 3: Can you hear?

00:18:50
Speaker 7: I'm here?

00:18:50
Speaker 3: You got it? Okay?

00:18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you chopped up a little bit there. So whatever that genius was that you were saying, yeah, I'm sure very There's.

00:19:00
Speaker 7: So many guys that start in the league and they're the most amazing athletes in the in the league, and then they find their way out of the out of the game in three or four years and you're like, what happened to that guy? Well, what happened that guy is he didn't love football. He worried. He thought about, Wow, this is gonna hurt. Like it the game itself, there's a love for it that that the pros the pro game forces you know, it's a referendum on whether you love it or And I've seen a lot of amazing athletes that just don't love it in the game and the pro game. The college game doesn't force you out like that, the cheerleaders and the alumni and all that stuff, but pro game it's the referendum. And the guys leave the game because that you just said, this is going to hurt, and then they just and the guys that play forever, they actually never think about it, which is weird.

00:19:44
Speaker 2: But you got hurt, you got hit, you suffered concussions, but but you never thought, God, that hurts, or this is gonna hurt that you see somebody coming right out, you go the kind of this is gonna hurt.

00:19:55
Speaker 7: Well, I remember the fridge. I remember William the fridge three eighty. You know, his football card said three fifty if you admit three fifty your forte And I remember he got me up under my chin, right straight up and then was hoppling me over and was gonna land on. I thought, I'm gonna die, like this is it could be. There's no way my body can withstand this. And it did. It didn't. I thought it would break. It didn't break, which is crazy. I did, but it did take the wind out of me, but it didn't break me. But I think, yeah, there's well, here's how I'll say it. If it hurts during the game, you you're gonna it's gonna be a problem the next week. Like you usually, adrenaline and everything else you don't really notice. And then after the game in the shower you're like, oh, wrap that hurts, but then that's something that's gonna give you know, you figure out by Wednesday. But if it hurts during the game and you're on the sideline and like man, then you you got a problem. That's how you know.

00:20:53
Speaker 2: Well, like Cam scattaboo, so dislocates his ankle, but he's I don't know if the body protects you in that moment or they're shocked because he's pointing. He knows that it's serious, but it doesn't look like he's in agony. And I don't know what happens to the body in a moment like that where you see guys blow out their knee or you know, have devastating injuries and then they get carted off and they're giving a thumbs up to the crowd, I'd be weeping.

00:21:23
Speaker 10: Yeah.

00:21:24
Speaker 7: I think sometimes I would say that I didn't have anything terrible ever happened, which I'm grateful for. But the guys that I know who did talk about it as if especially in knee when it's kind of blown out, it doesn't like it doesn't hurt like the pains you know already happened. But it just depends. But I'm telling you, the toughest humans beings I have ever known played football. I'm sure I wasn't in a lot of other spots where the top shoe means hang out, but I did hang out in football. And I'm telling you that I remember going back to my Tampa Bay days the season I played in Tampa with James Wilder James Alden running back from Missouri, and we were two and fourteen, and I remember thinking, like, you guys are losers. I'm like, have you met James Wilder? That dude is not a loser. That then, is the toughest human being I think I've ever met my life. And that's the other thing that you just you don't realize that so many guys are toiling in the NFL that you don't know that aren't the toughest bath as you ever late.

00:22:21
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but you gave him the ball three hundred and fifty times.

00:22:25
Speaker 3: The poor guy.

00:22:26
Speaker 7: Don't make up some number like you got you're that fast. You're not that fast at the stat.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: Okay, Paulie, would you check and see Wilder I think has had the most carries in a season in NFL his I.

00:22:36
Speaker 7: Think it was like four oh seven for the record, which you just trying to come.

00:22:41
Speaker 3: On, don't don't show Why didn't you throw the ball a little bit? Steve gave it to James Wilder.

00:22:47
Speaker 7: The goodest story James over in the blizzard in Green Bay. And I'm sorry if I repeat this story and I had not completed a ball. I'm like, oh, for eleven and it's like the second quarter and I'm like, my first game ever played, say game I've ever played in the NFL. I turned to James, like, James, jump in front of me, and I'm going to shovel the ball to you so I have a completion, because I'm afraid I don't want to be the only quarterback in the history of the game that you don't have a completion. So you can see his stats that day. It's Wilder of one catch fight its PAULI.

00:23:18
Speaker 3: Do you have the numbers there on Wilder?

00:23:20
Speaker 11: The most carries James Wilder had for Tampa was nineteen eighty four, four hundred and seven carries fifteen and forty four yards hem.

00:23:28
Speaker 7: And he you talk about feeling every one of them like he was a tough man. And so that's what I guess what you're saying is there's guys that aren't ready for the game because they are the toughest humans you ever met.

00:23:41
Speaker 3: Do you have your Tampa jersey framed?

00:23:45
Speaker 7: No, I don't have anything frame, but I think I have a Tampa jersey. I'm very proud of this. You know, it's funny that season. It was fun into being a team that was so dysfunctional and but yet such good guys. But just the culture, the leader shift, it was just a mess. It was a total mess.

00:24:03
Speaker 2: Because I would have one that was game used because you probably have grass stains and turfalls.

00:24:08
Speaker 7: So we have these orange jerseys, but because they can't find any material it's orange, they get it from, you know, somewhere where it's thick. It's like this thick you can almost fold it and it would.

00:24:20
Speaker 3: Make a freeze, you know what I mean, Like and it was hot down there.

00:24:22
Speaker 7: Does anyone know we're in Tampa? Like, where's the match? Bro? Gives me some orange mesh? Why do we have to have this thick like Canadian it's stupid stuff like that. You're just like, come on, man, like, like let's get this figured out.

00:24:41

Speaker 11: And I want to ask you one question is is sho Hail tani Ai? Because what he does on the field doesn't make sense. I think we all just sit here and go yep, I'm just gonna go back to the computer board. He'll go awfu awful, taco crazy.

00:25:45
Speaker 2: I think it's gotten to the point where they're not going to pitch to him.

00:25:48
Speaker 11: You can't like we were sitting there last night It was so fascinating because you know Mark was playing I files the bench coach and what would you do here? And would you take out Kirk to pinch run And there's so many decisions before they happen, right before we all play armchair quarterback.

00:26:03
Speaker 10: Fascinating. Yeah, you have to, and then you're sitting.

00:26:05
Speaker 11: Here, you walking him to a former MVP in Mookie Betts, and then if you want to get by him, then you get another former IVP mister World Series. So it's fascinating and how you do it. I just got to walk up. He's proven to you, but.

00:26:19
Speaker 2: As he gotten to the Barry Bonds status when it comes to you just can't pitch to him.

00:26:24
Speaker 10: You just can't because you think you can. And even when he.

00:26:28
Speaker 11: Walked you know that last at bet when it wasn't just put him on. You see the stress though, Like this poor pitcher's trying to not not throw strike Seafields fan.

00:26:38
Speaker 10: But like we are.

00:26:40
Speaker 11: If I tell you Dad, hey, stay away and then you just like lead one curveball up, you know, it's like it might be embarrassing.

00:26:46
Speaker 10: And that's what he can do to you.

00:26:47
Speaker 7: Dan.

00:26:47
Speaker 11: You know that like you'll get embarrassed. A home runs a home run, then I'll put you in the parking lot. And when you're the last row of the of the of the bleachers and you and I are sitting back there with the nine hundred dollars ticket these days and usually the home runs kind of go oh yeah.

00:27:00
Speaker 10: Who's gonna catch it? And now they go like this, heads up in the parking.

00:27:05
Speaker 11: Lot, guys, Yeah, there's a ball bouncing.

00:27:08
Speaker 10: It just doesn't make sense.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: Uh, Schuresier can't get away with that pitch. Maybe a younger Sureser can. But you keep like they're just places where the other home run I got's a terrible pitch I got right. If I'm making a mistake, my mistake is never gonna be across the plate.

00:27:28
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:27:28
Speaker 11: It's funny because you know, any way, you got the droop text, you're trying to there's four thousand different things and John Smoltzen I was all of us were on this text and he's kind of like they're pitching him not so good.

00:27:37
Speaker 10: He is amazing, but you do have to be careful, you know.

00:27:41
Speaker 11: And there's this old story, like you know, I told Ryan when we faced Barry Bonds. Everybody walks Arry Bonds. I said, just throw the four seamer, just go after him.

00:27:49
Speaker 10: Let's see what he has. Well he had it.

00:27:51
Speaker 7: You know.

00:27:51
Speaker 10: A few pitches later Ryan was coming in. He was like, thanks for that one. He could hit. That's what happens, though.

00:27:56
Speaker 11: You know that you and I are sitting there and we're watching this game, like, are they gonna walk me to say, well, no, just go at him a little bit, maybe just a little bit.

00:28:03
Speaker 10: There's no little bit like in the World Series.

00:28:05
Speaker 11: In this kind of a moment, you're just gonna have to say, Mookie Bett's gonna have to beat us.

00:28:09
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: And I started to wonder about the impact that this will have on tonight's game because Otani's pitching, So you play eighteen innings. Most pitchers aren't doing anything prior to that night that they're going to be pitching. This is where you cement a legacy if you're Otani. If he goes out there and throws five quality innings. I mean, we might be looking back on this, you know, ten fifteen years from now and telling our kids' grandkids we did see the greatest performance in baseball history.

00:28:42
Speaker 10: It is there's not words.

00:28:45
Speaker 11: You don't know what word to use, and I'm a motive going in or to warm up, like for him to come down, whatever you need me to do, like you got goose mumps when you saw him walk to the bullpen, yellone, like Otani there was a steady seven for seven his last with five home runs and two doubles, like.

00:29:05
Speaker 10: Dero looked at me.

00:29:06
Speaker 11: Durosa goes, we're watching the Lily World Series, like these are numbers to hit a big league home run in the postseasons big and now we start hearing like these numbers like George Springer has you know, twenty seven postseason home runs and you're like watching O'tani make this look like a video game.

00:29:21
Speaker 10: It's not that easy, guys. I want everybody to understand that it's not that easy.

00:29:25
Speaker 11: And the seven hundred and fifty million dollars contract that we all sat back, going, good lord, have mersey.

00:29:30
Speaker 10: He's almost underpaid. He should have been paid two point seven.

00:29:33
Speaker 3: Billion, right, it's not your money, no, you and I I'll.

00:29:37
Speaker 10: Give a percentage of the team.

00:29:39
Speaker 2: My goodness, gracious, who would you want up in a clutch situation?

00:29:43
Speaker 3: Big Poppy or show he.

00:29:47
Speaker 10: Oh, big poppy brother.

00:29:49
Speaker 11: I mean I only can speak from just sharing with the guy and loving the guy and just understanding what he did for us in games four.

00:29:57
Speaker 10: And five, like, hey, just come on and get on my back.

00:29:59
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go deep off control and then we're gonna go have a twelve pitching bag against Lewisa. Thank you, We'll head to New York game six. Now, that's a great question. Listen, oh Tony, what he's doing now is just, I mean stupid. Right, we all, Poppy didn't get out in twenty thirteen, it felt, and Pompy didn't get out with us when we needed every big RBI.

00:30:16
Speaker 10: I would take David or too.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Final answer, I don't know if showering him, you know, being in the shower with him has anything to do with his performance at the plate. But I'll leave that up to you and Poppy. Must be a special relationship you have there. We're talking about Kevin Malar MLB network analysts. All right, how did the Blue Jays get back in this?

00:30:35
Speaker 11: I think they they have shown everybody they punched back. They punched back. You know, you sit back, even in game one when they face Snell. We're sitting there in Toronto and without man the daughters, I mean they just mean the Blue Jays, right, don't have a jams. Yeah, I mean, yeah, they have a chance. But you know they come in as there's an underdog, there's a favorite. They're an underdog, no doubt.

00:30:52
Speaker 10: Right.

00:30:52
Speaker 11: Blake Snell's giving up a run in postseed starts in fourteenth straight as he's starting the game, and you saw them battle, battle, battle, and then boom and they punched right and you saw him last night. Edmund has a big air obviously, Alejandro Kirk. If you don't have a man crush on him, Dan Patrick, and you're not a sports fan, if you don't think you can get in the box, spread out, get load of the base.

00:31:13
Speaker 10: Their simple movement, just a little bit of a shoulder.

00:31:16
Speaker 11: Lean and his barrel and his bat just stays right through here this plane. He will rifle stuff foul, he will battle on breaking balls. And for him to get up there and hit that three run home run in that moment, let's talk about that like it just doesn't make sense. And they go down one, they keep punching and punching, and you feel it when bar shows up, you feel he can put one in the streets. They have a lineup vlag Garrel Junior, I think is growing in front of our eyes. You're looking at an athlete. You're looking at a great defender at first base. You probably paid these better than you thought at first base along with everybody else. He's smart, he's running the base as well, and he's electric at the place. So I think they punched back. How do they get back in it? The question is can Shane Bieber beat the Dodgers? I think the question for me was could Max Scherzer and Shane Bieber beat the Dodgers. They're gonna have to find one, and so now it's up to Shane. Don't call me Justin.

00:32:08
Speaker 3: Yamamoto reminds me of Pedro Martinez a little bit.

00:32:12
Speaker 10: You know what, that's a great comp in. Pedro's prime, little guy, easy, easy, v low and and.

00:32:18
Speaker 11: Hits those four quadrants where he wants what the execution on that three to two curveball to Vlad in Game two and then Barshaw got it also, like the ability to throw seventy four to seventy six hour breaking ball for ninety seven is split x kid too, and he's great, He's unbelievable.

00:32:34
Speaker 10: I mean, you're looking at You're looking at some stuff in the series.

00:32:37
Speaker 2: Most famous person in the crowd last night, Justin Bieber.

00:32:40
Speaker 11: I want to go use the restroom, and there are seventeen people surrounding it. And when you got to go the bathroom, and you know that when you gotta go potty, you're ready to go potty, and you kind of closer you get to a bathroom, your mind's already saying yay, they're right there. So it gets worse and then all of a sudden, you get the back up, excuse me, I gotta go potty, sir, back up. Bieber's in there. I know that, But I played in the show. I mean I took chanhell Park deep there. Vinceculley now fit.

00:33:04
Speaker 7: That didn't count.

00:33:05
Speaker 11: That that count And then they were soon I give my peaches down to Georgia.

00:33:10
Speaker 10: I get my blank in California. So yeah, it was Justin Bieber's the one.

00:33:15
Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't get to say loa to him, did.

00:33:18
Speaker 10: You, No, no, no, I couldn't get to him.

00:33:20
Speaker 11: I was gonna try together there and get a quick selfie in the bathroom, but it didn't work out.

00:33:23
Speaker 2: But he's uh, he had his Blue Jays jersey on.

00:33:27
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, that's what's cool like Drake, Like here in Toronto and then there's there's Drake. You forget the fans come out right. But Blue Jay fans are awesome. The whole country is awesome. They got six million watching. He was electric there. Dodger Stadium was phenomenal last night. The weather you can't you can't paint a better picture right now. There's no shadows. That's the good news. And so we'll see what goes on tonight.

00:33:50
Speaker 3: Good to talk to you, Thanks for getting up.

00:33:52
Speaker 11: Always great to see you, and I'll see you on our show at some point. You're coming on with your shirt off?

00:33:56
Speaker 3: Oh, with my shirt off?

00:33:57
Speaker 10: Yeah, I want your shirt off. It t after dark.

00:34:02
Speaker 2: Hoops, I'm worried about you, you know, big poppy in the shower.

00:34:05
Speaker 3: You want me with my shirt off? Like, what's going on here?

00:34:09
Speaker 10: That' sturts? Get daddy, You know that we didn't talk about Shillings, and we talked about.

00:34:14
Speaker 3: When's the last time you talked to Kurt Shilling?

00:34:17
Speaker 10: Got it? It's been a little bit, you know, it's been a little bit.

00:34:20
Speaker 3: But yeah, why is he not in the Hall of Fame?

00:34:23
Speaker 2: Man?

00:34:24
Speaker 10: I don't know every fifth day, man, you wanted him on the mountain. You know that.

00:34:26
Speaker 11: I mean, he it seems like all these great ones, right Kershaw on the baseloader moment, we don't saying about that, like are you kidding me?

00:34:33
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me?

00:34:34
Speaker 3: Like I was holding I was holding my breath.

00:34:37
Speaker 10: It was Yeah, you could have seen what happened. Happened perfectly, like just just absolutely grinding at bat. And I love Freddy's comment saying we saw eighty nine on the slider. He goes, I knew we were in pretty the old school.

00:34:50
Speaker 3: Shaw, Thank you. keV.

00:34:54
Speaker 10: Alright, pal, We'll see you guys.

Speaker 2: I always think of those fan bases like the Red Sox looking at Mookie Bats, the Braves, Freddie Freeman, Angel fans looking at show Hey Tani, Red G. Miller, Angels fan Hall of Famer. He'll be on the call with Mike Cherico and Jamal Crawford. It's the Knicks and the Bucks tonight on NBC and Peconic tip off eight Eastern. How does that feel to be an Angels fan watching show?

00:36:03
Speaker 3: Hey Otani Theodore.

00:36:05
Speaker 12: I'm so glad you brought this up because I need to know this, because I need to know the inner circles. How in the world did my beloved California Angels. I'm not even gonna call him the Los Angeles. There are the California Angels. To me, how could we have ever seen show Hey O'tani and Mike Trout in the same uniform on the same team. How could we ever see show hey walk out the door?

00:36:35
Speaker 10: Now, I know he was a free agents and free agent and he can.

00:36:38
Speaker 12: Go anywhere he wants, but we should have gave him part ownership of that team.

00:36:44
Speaker 10: There's no way he should have ever.

00:36:47
Speaker 12: And not only does he leave, he goes right down the road to the Dodgers.

00:36:55
Speaker 10: It kills me. It kills me.

00:36:58
Speaker 12: I know it's not very popular to be an Angel fan in Dodgerland.

00:37:01
Speaker 10: I've been, but I grew up because of my brother Darrel. As you know I am. I'm a diehard Angel fan and it just ow. Come on, talk to me like I'm a kindergarten.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: They should have given him part of Disneyland, you know, they should.

00:37:19
Speaker 12: Yes, whatever you wanted, they should have given it to him, whatever you wanted.

00:37:25
Speaker 3: Is there the best two ways?

00:37:27
Speaker 2: So pitching and hitting, he's probably the greatest baseball player of all time, but the best two way player in NBA history.

00:37:34
Speaker 3: Is in terms of basketball. Yeah, best two way player in the NBA in history.

00:37:45
Speaker 12: I would say, uh, Kawi comes to mind.

00:37:55
Speaker 10: Two way offensive defense, right.

00:37:58
Speaker 2: But he's not better offensively than and he's not better defensively than Jordan.

00:38:04
Speaker 12: I would say he's on part defensively with Jordan. He's not offensively as good as Jordan.

00:38:09
Speaker 3: Okay, Elijah one.

00:38:14
Speaker 10: Ding Dean for the win. Oh here's another one.

00:38:18
Speaker 3: Kareem Early in his career.

00:38:21
Speaker 12: Okay, well early in his career he was he was that. I would I would say Kareem or.

00:38:27
Speaker 2: Hakeem because I know it's not it's not apples to apples with what Otani is doing. But you do have to play defense, and you know Mahomes doesn't have to play defense in the NFL. Correct, So just to be able to go to the other end and not be a liability or to be a stopper, I don't know do we have stoppers anymore in the NBA.

00:38:51
Speaker 12: I will say in today's generation, in today's games, I would put Jannis in that category. He averages thirty, but he does a good job on defensive end. I think last season's MVP SGA Shay is a pretty good two way player as well. Gives you thirty two at one end, and I think he was second in steals a year ago. Those two guys come to mind again. I mentioned Kawhi Leonard Victor. Oh, he's changing the game, right.

00:39:23
Speaker 10: He is.

00:39:24
Speaker 12: I'm every time you turn into a Spurs game, you're gonna see something new.

00:39:29
Speaker 10: So last night it was the three sixty layup, right, it's.

00:39:33
Speaker 12: He will do one thing when you leave that arena or watching that game, going I gotta see more.

00:39:40
Speaker 3: He took three, he took a logo three and he's got good form.

00:39:47
Speaker 10: He's got great form.

00:39:48
Speaker 12: And I think just looking at him, it looks like he's put on not a lot of weight, but he looks like he's a little bit more I don't know, more comfortable.

00:39:58
Speaker 10: In his skin.

00:39:58
Speaker 12: He put on like maybe ta pounds or something, but he's much more comfortable out there on the floor. It's and for them to be undefeated at this point. I know it's early, it's only a week into the season. Look, they're not winning the championship, but I like how they are playing as a young team.

00:40:19
Speaker 2: And you're seeing him. He should have been Defensive Player of the Year. He didn't play enough games to qualify. He's only twenty one. He can guard the perimeter from the paint. He's averaging six blocks now, he can shoot shoot the three. He's got a handle. They're putting him in different positions on the block where he can succeed. And I said this, I got Lucas the MVP this year, but after that, I've got Victor.

00:40:47
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Victor the next five years.

00:40:49
Speaker 12: After that, we'll look for Luca and for Victor to win. Obviously, team success is going to play a counterpoint. So if the Spurs continue to play like this, I say the Spurs end in a top four in a loaded Western Conference, yes, he'll win the same with Luca Luca in the Lakers, They've got to finish in the top four. To me, it'd be I know, I think Jokic wanted a few years ago, and Denver was I believe six in the Eastern or in the Western Conference, so there is precedents for that. But I think if either one of those teams, the Lakers or the Spurs, finish in the top four in the very heavy loaded Western Conference, one of them will win MVP.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: If I said, you can have Luca or you can have Victor Victor, Okay, is there any player you would take over Victor winbin Yama for let's say the next five years.

00:41:48
Speaker 12: Well, he's only twenty one, but to me, Sga Cannet, he cannot go wrong. Look opening night watching him and then obviously watching him last year in the finals in that playoff run and.

00:42:02
Speaker 10: Watching it up close as personal as a fan. I mean, this dude has it all. I mean when the.

00:42:09
Speaker 12: Game is on the line. He knows how to create his own shot, he knows how to create for others.

00:42:15
Speaker 10: And again.

00:42:17
Speaker 12: I look at the other end as well. I think that's what made Michael's so great. Not only was he giving you forty in the playoffs, but he was shutting you down, shutting me down.

00:42:28
Speaker 3: In the playoffs. Well, he didn't shut you down.

00:42:32
Speaker 10: But to me, that's what SGA SGA. He plays at both ends of the floor.

00:42:37
Speaker 12: So to me, I wouldn't trade either one of those players right now.

00:42:42
Speaker 2: If I said you could have SGA or Luca.

00:42:44
Speaker 10: Oh my god, Oh, I would take SGA. Really, yeah, I'm taking SGA.

00:42:51
Speaker 3: You're in love because you got to play the other end.

00:42:53
Speaker 10: Of the court. Lucas getting there. I mean he's getting there. Luca.

00:43:00
Speaker 12: Now, I will say this to me, Luca is a better scorer than Wimby and SGA.

00:43:06
Speaker 10: But there's two sides of the ball.

00:43:08
Speaker 3: You know that, all right, There's two sides.

00:43:10
Speaker 2: Reggie is on the call the Knicks visit the Bucks, NBC and Peacock tonight at eight eastern. I was wondering about this where we talk about shooting form. You're one of the great shooters of all time. But would you teach your son how to shoot the way you shoot or would you try to have him emulate somebody else.

00:43:29
Speaker 12: I would have him shoot the way he's comfortable shooting. Shooting the basketball or like fingerprints, everyone's fingerprints are different. Everyone's going to shoot the basketball different. So there's no way I would tell my son to shoot like me or Clay. Now I might reference like a Ray Allen or Klay Thompson in terms of their form and their follow through, but in terms of how you hold the basket the ball and your release form because I was an orthodox my elbow out that wasn't textbook. You look at Stephen Curry, he's not textbook shooter, but we know he's the best shooter of all time and he goes in. Everyone shoots the basketball different.

00:44:11
Speaker 10: You could have.

00:44:12
Speaker 12: Talking points about other players, but you want I would want my son to shoot how he's comfortable shooting.

00:44:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:44:20
Speaker 2: I always wondered that when you because your your release was unorthodox, But it's it's kind of like golf swings as long as everybody ends up at the same spot when they get to the ball with the club. But was your follow through the same as anybody else though when you released it.

00:44:40
Speaker 12: The thing that and if you watch all these great shooters and you can go back to the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, as long as your shoulders are in line with the rim, it doesn't matter if your elbows like this, like this, your shot, as long as these are square to the rim where mine always was. It doesn't matter what your release form is and how you get the ball off. As long as your shoulders are in line with the rim, that's all that matters.

00:45:11
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:45:11
Speaker 2: Then Larry Bird made fun of my release because he said, your shoulder, it's out, and I go.

00:45:18
Speaker 10: But hold on, look at his release. I look up. And what I tried to do when I got to the high school.

00:45:24
Speaker 12: In college, I copied a lot of shooters, Larry being one of them. Because Larry shot so high and he shot over his head to his left. I took a lot from Dell Ellis, who was another great player.

00:45:38
Speaker 10: Coming off screens. He shot the ball like right in front of.

00:45:41
Speaker 12: His face almost so I went on the court depending on the situation.

00:45:47
Speaker 10: If I was coming off and getting.

00:45:49
Speaker 12: Ready to shoot over my right shoulder off of a pin down screen, I shot like Larry. I would get the ball on the high release when I was curling coming off my left shoulder and a chance to get in the in the room. It's a much quicker release, so it was more catch and shoot like a Dale Ellis. So I would pick and choose different shooters that I respected their games and how they released the basketball and incorporated that into my very unorthodox release and shot.

00:46:21
Speaker 3: You love the next to win the ease, right I do? Okay, I do.

00:46:26
Speaker 12: We mentioned this last week with Boston and Indiana the injuries to their two star players, it's wide open.

00:46:33
Speaker 10: But to me, it's it's Nicks or bust.

00:46:38
Speaker 12: Though, I mean, they just beat the Cavaliers opening night. The Cavaliers will have something to say. I still think Cleveland will win the East in terms of their record, they'll have the number one seed. But I do think once New York really figures out Mike Brown's system, pace and space and getting up threes because they're not used to playing like this. They played half court basically under Tom Thibodeaux. Mike Brown wants them to run, get up, get a lot of threes up, So it's gonna take some time for them to get and condition their legs, their lungs that play that way.

00:47:11
Speaker 2: Theodore the Sixers backcourt, I love Maxi and now you get edgecom in there, and wow, you're not gonna get Paul George anywhere near what they hope to get and even Joe Ellenbi that's gonna be a real slow slow But if those.

00:47:29
Speaker 12: Two guys give them anything right and they and those guards continue to play, Kelly Oubray had twenty five last night for them as well, if he can give them contribution. To me, they're one of those teams that you don't know because if the big fella turns into the big fella, like we're his MVP campaign, well, Nick, that's.

00:47:51
Speaker 10: A different story.

00:47:53
Speaker 12: Paul George doesn't have to carry the load like he used to anymore because of injuries. To me, it's I res Maxie's team, right, and that young kid uh at edgecomb, I mean, there's that's an impressive start to a season, so his confidence is there. But if the big fella turns into the big fella and can remain healthy, to me, the Sixers are they're one of those scary outs.

00:48:23
Speaker 2: What was the most concerning or damning thing about the FBI investigation that stood out with the NBA to you.

00:48:31
Speaker 12: Well, let me break this down. You know, it's two different separate incidences. So Terry Rosier and Damon Jones are all about the the rigged and the parlays and the over unders, whereas Chauncey's is about fixed poker games.

00:48:50
Speaker 10: And I'm wrapping my head around this because I.

00:48:54
Speaker 12: Just I come back to the reason of why, like, why would someone jeopardize these guys jeopardize their career and their livelihoods for something like this. I mean, I've known you a long time and this goes back to high school for me and even in college, and you can relate to this. You aren't even almost allowed to say the word bet.

00:49:21
Speaker 10: Right. It was like a taboo.

00:49:24
Speaker 12: And in today's society with partnerships with Van Duel and DraftKings and all these betting sites, it's very murky. And I just wonder why these guys would put everything on the line for a short amount of glory.

00:49:43
Speaker 10: I just don't get it.

00:49:44
Speaker 12: You know, your boys are supposed to be around you to protect you, not exploit you. And that's in terms of Cherry Rogier and Damon Jones.

00:49:56
Speaker 10: I'm somewhat sad with.

00:49:57
Speaker 12: The Chauncey things, because we've known for a while he is one of the best dudes you'll know.

00:50:04
Speaker 10: And again we don't know everything.

00:50:06
Speaker 2: But I wonder if they got compromised, Reg. I wonder if they owe it you back, you get in the.

00:50:12
Speaker 10: Hole, and how do you get compromised? Why?

00:50:16
Speaker 12: My point is, why would you put yourself in that situation to be compromise?

00:50:20
Speaker 2: You don't think you're going to lose that cut, and you know Barkley's talked about that, you end up losing a million dollars and then all of a sudden you got to pay it back, and then what if you can't pay it back? And then they say, here's how you pay it back. You bring in these people and play poker and we're going to take their money.

00:50:38
Speaker 10: Well, if that.

00:50:39
Speaker 12: Is the case, which I hope it's not, that even makes my stomach even turn even more, because again, why put yourself in that situation?

00:50:50
Speaker 2: So Terry Rogier and Damon Jones are probably thinking nobody is going to notice. Now that's why people do you know John t Porter than a vacuum. Reg, He's like, nobody's gonna be following my over unders. Well, they don't until somebody puts one hundred thousand dollars on your over under. Now you got Vegas and I think maybe Rogier and you know Damon Jones. They live in a vacuum, like, hey, I got some information for you. Make sure you know you give me a kick back at twenty five hundred dollars.

00:51:22
Speaker 3: They're not thinking that they're gonna get caught.

00:51:25
Speaker 12: Look, it's again, we don't know everything. I certainly don't know everything. I have more questions than the answers for you. I this is a sad day for sports, for the NBA. I'm sure they're gonna relook how their betting nods are. They're over unders on certain.

00:51:44
Speaker 3: Well, we've got to take away prop bets.

00:51:46
Speaker 2: You gotta because that's so easy to manipulate because everybody knows what their prop bets are.

00:51:52
Speaker 3: You got the Bucks game tonight.

00:51:54
Speaker 2: I got Giannis's over under rebounds at twelve and a half.

00:51:57
Speaker 3: Like I right, I.

00:52:02
Speaker 10: Don't know which. I don't know what you can do. This is I don't know what you can do.

00:52:06
Speaker 3: Would you rather go back and talk about the angels and show?

00:52:08
Speaker 12: Hey, O, Tony, I don't know what hurts me more this, Betty thing or showing it.

00:52:15
Speaker 3: The Angels have fun tonight.

00:52:19
Speaker 2: Tell Mike Trinco and Jamal Crawford second best score on the broadcast team.

00:52:27
Speaker 10: Now, why are you now you're trying to get me going.

00:52:30
Speaker 3: No, you're the number one.

00:52:31
Speaker 10: Okay, yes, he's too.

00:52:33
Speaker 2: No you're not two. Okay, you're the best. You're the best shooter. I haven't seen your best shooter.

00:52:40
Speaker 12: But in terms of handling it, because look, Jamal could go out. Jamal can give either one of these teams tonight. He can give them fifteen twenty minutes right now, seriously, yes he could.

00:52:52
Speaker 10: Jamal could.

00:52:53
Speaker 3: That'd be great.

00:52:54
Speaker 12: Jamal could probably get ten points tonight in tonight's game. Now, well, they'll probably have to play ZWN, but he could give them ten points.

00:53:03
Speaker 2: That'd be a great story, that would It'd be great if he could play in a game and then then come over broadcast. Now, the NBA has got enough to worry about that we don't.

00:53:14
Speaker 3: Need to do all right, we're gonna stup. He's Reggie Alo Wishes Miller. You'll find him.

00:53:21
Speaker 2: Tonight at eight Eastern. Mike Tarico, Reggie and Jamal Crawford. It's the Knicks in the books, thanks Bud.

00:53:28
Speaker 10: Thank you Theodore. Appreciate my dad. NATS Love you guys,
