OneLegUpAlex Media Recaps Yanks Home Opener with Lou Terminello 4-3-26 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: All right, well one leg up. Alex Media was in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the house at Yankees home opener and lou we were
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: talking about the mental home opener. I can get to
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that one, but the Yankees home opener and I have
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: some initial reactions. But firstly, h this ABS system is
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: becoming a storyline again. It was today Yanks actually ran
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: out of ABS challenges in their home opener. Lou I
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: said this last week. I'm going to say it again.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: The ABS challenge will be maybe reshaping how these umpires
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: are trained. Is that going to be a possibility, Alex,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me again. I'm glad you enjoyed the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: game of Yankee victory this afternoon. You so judge of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the home run in the first inning, but I also
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: want to see him doing in October. But you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we'll take a home opener home.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Run absolutely absolutely. You know, the A B A. The
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ABS system has definitely had a profound effect in the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: first seven days of the of the season, no doubt
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about it. These umpires really have to be at the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: top of their game. And again, even you know they
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: miss some calls, not many calls are being missed by
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: huge margins, some of them like a tenth of an
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: inch to two tenths of an inch one or two.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I saw, yeah, I saw one earlier this week where
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: it was like almost two inches off. But it is.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It is definitely a storyline. The one good thing is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it gets the fans into the game. The fans look
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: at that center home score of, that center home scoreboard,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that center field scoreboard, and they're on it right away,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: especially when the call goes in their team's favor. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you are right, the ABA system is. Isn't it an issue?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It has made it smart already and we're only seven
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: eight days.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I believe the Orioles won a game on an ABS.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Challenge, Yes they did.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And I think I asked you this in the playoffs
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. We knew they were gonna
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: have the extra runner all that I mean, But this
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: ABS thing, could that really end the World Series? I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: can't believe that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Could be the case. Well, it depends. I mean it could.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: In the World Series. The Orioles were up eight to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: three when when the call was reversed. It wasn't a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: one run game. But can it happen? Of course it can.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: But again, if the ABS system shows that it was
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a strike or a ball and the umpire blew the call.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The most important thing is that they get it right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean replay.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And it reminds me of tennis, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the way that looks and whether it's in or out.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It's very similar to that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's very similar. It's very similar. And I know I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: said last week every every pitch would be available for ABS. Now, no,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: but I would say more than two challenges. I would
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: go to four or five. I'll go to four. But again,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we'll see. It's it's still in its infancy. It's brand new.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I like it. I don't think it takes away from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the game. It just has made some umpires who have
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: probably gotten a little lazy because of the strength of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the Umpires Union that they can't get fired. They might
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: have to, uh, just be a little bit more sharper
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and for their craft. It is their craft. Umpiring is
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: their craft. They get paid well and they're protected by
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: one of the strongest unions in the United States, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Umpires Union, so.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well. But I also say I'm glad it's in the players,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in the sense of these guys that play. Bosston's t
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: ball a lot of them, you know that they know
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the strike zone, they know what they're looking for, and uh,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you know how many games I go to in Queen's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: College where guys were in the college level knew what
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they were looking at, you know. So I just it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in the power of the player too, which is which
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is very important as well, I think.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So I think it's a positive thing so far.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Ioed to Rob Gomeanz and the Yankees family for continuing
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to welcome me. You know, twenty five years ago Opening
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Day two thousand and one, we were at Yankee Sadam
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Roger Clemens surpassed Walter Johnson in strikeout lists on the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: strikeout list, and mister Steinberner actually took my dad and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: night downstairs in the locker room, and I was thinking
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: about that day to day because it's been a long
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: time since I was at Opening Day over the years.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Of course, the Matsui Grand Slam, the home opener, I'll
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: never forget that one either. But you know, it's a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: little different in the new stadium. I don't know why,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: but it's all spread out and people are walking around.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We're not as condensed as we used to be, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: even on opening day. Oh, you're right, but the energy
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: was electric, I will say, And for a team that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: didn't really do any moves in the off season, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yankee fans are very loyal and they're very excited. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: think I've not built this excitement in a little bit.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Well again, it's it's only April third. Just if you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: want to just jump sports. The New Jersey Devils started
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: eight to one, and they're not even going to finish
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in the eighth spot and make the playoffs. So and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's gonna happen to the Yankees, because
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I think the Yankees have a fought a fine team.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Are you mentioning the Devils? Because Jack Hughes throughout the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: first pitch?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Second right? He did? How How I didn't see it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't see the game. I was out, just got
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: back a little while ago. How was his first pick?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I was hustling over to make sure I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: got Will Warren's first pitch with the opening day logo,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So I didn't really see it myself.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'll tell you one thing. Jackieves has been
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on fire since he got it. Since they took that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and crapped and off his hands just before the Olympics.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He had a great Olympics, and he's been great for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the Devils. It's a shame that, you know, he missed
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: twenty he's missed twenty three games because they cannot play
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: without him. I mean, he's got sixty three points in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: fifty three games. Great player, great player. Unfortunately, the Devil's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: had a one of the biggest disappointments in the NHL season.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I would say that we'll talk hockey in a little bit.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Well, and they just fired Fitzgerald. If I'm not mistaken,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it was that April Foles joke that I saw.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I did not see that. I mean, I know he's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat. I mean, if it happened, it happened.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The last five minutes, they have not fired Fitzgerald.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: See the AI is getting to me, Louis. It's it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: it's gonna everybody. Actually it's just funny.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's true. Now he now in two weeks
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when the season ends, can he be fired? Absolutely? Him
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and or Sheldon Key for both, because this team should
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: not be on the outside looking in. Yes, I know
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they lost their best player for you know, a quarter
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of the season, but they have a good team. They
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be in this position.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: The Huge Brothers alone, the Huge Brothers alone should be
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: getting them in that in the contention every year. But
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that's that's that's either here.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The I mean, by Opening Day overall, you were, you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: were pleased with everything at I.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Was pleased with the game, and I want to give
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you trying to rob GOM to the Yankes family again.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: But I was pleased with the opening ceremonies and everything
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: like that. But the one thing I got to say,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm not usually a complainer, but they left the
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: bases load against the Marlins. I know they won, but
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you know you got you get, Judge gets hit and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: they load the bases and like score there. I want
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to see them a little more shaped up, because look,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: they've got a few more games left till they hit
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the Al East, and we know, Lou they would be
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: in tip top shape every Ale East game because there's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: only twelve times they face these teams. And I think
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: now is a great tune up against the Tuna, right,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: there's a good one. But no, I don't want to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: see them waste the bases load like that, especially against
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the Marlins, who might be better. Actually, I think they're
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: more improved than they've been in the last couple of years.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I think the Marlins are going to be a pain
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in the butt for most teams. And I'm not saying
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, when you know, make the playoffs
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: go deep or anything like that, but they're gonna be good.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: They're not terrible. They're gonna be good. You know. Now,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you took them out to the Al East now, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's early, and that's why I'm stressing that it's early here.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: That's the point. If we're in Toronto when we're talking
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: about the Blue Jays who have just lost four in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a row to probably the two worst baseball teams again
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this year, the Colorado Rockies that got swept at home
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: by the Colorado Rockies and they lost today at the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: White Sox. So again it's early. You can't jump, you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: can't you know, slip your throat if you're a Blue
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Jays fan. But they lost four in a row to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: two terrible teams. Now I'm not jumping off a Blue
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Jays band when I'm not a Blue Jays fan. But my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: point is everything is still in its infancy in a season.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: You know, it didn't get much playing in New York,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: which is kind of surprising. But gotta give a shout
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to Peter Lonzo. His first homer is and oriole And
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm happy for the guy. Whatever he succeeds,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I'll be happy for him. This is not his fault
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that he left New York and I need.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Not his fault at all. And now, you know, you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: bring that up and we'll we'll get we'll get into
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it right away. Hey, the metsa three and four. Again,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's early. I'm not I'm not going to uh,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Jo, you.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Got another Blue and Orange team you gotta worry about,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: lou And.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: That's the Islanders. Okay, we'll get to them, and we'll
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: get to them in a second. And uh, but the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Blue and Orange Mets. And we've talked about this during
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the off season. Again, i don't know how good or
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: how mediocre they're gonna be. I mean, I have no
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: problem and we said it, you know, we said it
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on the podcast during the during the winter. I have
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: no problem trading Nemo. I just want to trade him
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for Marcus Simeon. Now, I'm not saying after seven games
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: marketing Marcus Simeon is a bust uh years old.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: They get that. Some people saying why did they even
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: trade him? Like I heard some guy on the radio
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the other day saying, Uh, it's funny. He's like, why
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they are a Simon. They're already bashing uh Simeon And
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you just settled into the Met pinstripes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You know, well again, you know you're out?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Is the point because you're giving him this guy some time.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: We and New York never give people time to settle
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in the year. You know, you make a very good point.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: New York fans should be embarrassed. And I'm not gonna
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: blame Met fans because it's Met fans, Yankee fans, Jets fans,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Giant fans.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Right down the line. Dante bischett, who has had an
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: outstanding career, goes one for fourteen. His son Bobet goes
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: one for fourteen, and uh, he is getting booed at
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a city field on Sunday. You can hear it through
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: to television. When I was watching it, it was clear,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I mean these people, I mean, he has he has
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a opt out the end of this year right now,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: and it's in his head. Do I really want to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: be around the around fans like this. Now again it's early.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: He's uh, he should He'll definitely match his baseball card.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He's too good a player. But I I don't like that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I don't like what the Mets to that second and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: first and again, I'm not I know Marcus Simon a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago, three four years ago he finished
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in the top three of al MVP with the Rangers,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: but his last two years have not been good. Offensively,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He's thirty five years old, and uh, defensively, it's supposed
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to be an uh an improvement. But all this run
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: prevention was Pete Alonso, that poor first baseman that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He was with that I remembering out his struggles a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: while ago, but he was starting to really come around
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: at first Actually well, uh.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Pick in scoop throws. He was the best in baseball
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: by miles. But I just don't I just don't get
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the game last night. Viandos is playing first
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: base and Polonko was designated there, which is what he
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: should be. It was an error on they charged to Peterson,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but it was a crappy throw from Viento's and if
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it was a good throw, it would have been an
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: out that would have got out of anything two to one. Again,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: they lost seven to two. So but my point is,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you go back to you said the Yankees didn't make
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: much changes and the Mets didn't want to run it back.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And I understand that after the horrible last three months
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in the season, after their first great three months in
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the season, they want to run back. But I don't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: think they've improved themselves at first base, at second base.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: That's the answer, Well, Polanco.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's all about run prevention, Polanco. Planco up
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: until this year, had played one game at first and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, he looks shaky at
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: first base when he was playing. He's d h the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: last couple of games. So, I mean, the jury's still
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: out on these changes. But Stern's got outsmarted by the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Dodgers because the DS money wasn't It wasn't because the money. Uh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: he just didn't like Alonso. He just didn't like him.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And uh, we'll see if the Mets have a bad season,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: We'll see if Steve Cohen swallows the last three years
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of his of Stearns' contract. I mean, I know it's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: they stole Nim thirty million dollars at the end of
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But uh, Lou, I'm I've deduced that him and the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: jury are just safe. This is gonna be safe for
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of the day periods. Okay, I am, I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: very uh at peace with that right now. And then
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you have to be this holy we can go crazy anyway,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: especially Drury that whole don't even to start about Chris story,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: that whole thing. But no, the Mets and Yankees almost
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: kind of had identical records. Then things fell off, and look,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I know the other night I was like, boys, you
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and Ryan, I said, well, they're they're losing to the Cardinals,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: like this is. It's early on, but it shouldn't be
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the case. You should not be losing the card.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But we don't know how good the Mets are. The
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Mets may not be, may not be a very good
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: team this year. The only guy I don't know.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Anytime I see a Pirates or a team like that
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: shut down the line of bas Lindor and Soto, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: am concerned and I think those are legitimate.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Well, well they didn't shut down. So always been tremendous.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He's batt in three fifty for the first seven games.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something here that might be unthinkable. I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: would I would, I think, see, I want to see
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: how the season goes. I would consider, no, he would
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: take him because he gets all this money. I would
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: consider throwing Lindor out there as a potential uh trade
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: trade B I'm not saying, do it see what you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: can get?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Is it just because they're not a good teammates together? Like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what's going on.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Well, all I know is if if Lindordian get picked
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: off the other night.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: What was that? I saw that play?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: That was Yeah, I mean, and I get it. He
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: was trying, he was trying to steal sick and it happens.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But you know, the next bat or sot w it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a home run which you didn't get picked off. Yes,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I know, the pitching selection would have been different, but
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it might have been to run Homer, it might have
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: been we don't know. We don't know. Like I said,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the pitching selection to Soda would have been different if
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Lindor diian't get picked off. So we'll see what will
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: happen to Mett's a long way Togo. I I just
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: don't think they I don't like what they did improve
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the team. I've never been a Lewis Robert fan. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: know he's had a good week, but I think he's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: gonna plateau out. I'm just not a fan of I've
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: never been a fan of Lewis Robert Jr. I haven't.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And we'll see if one of the boys Sterns made
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the right moves.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: We'll see we will and I'll tell you, I mean
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: even today, like I'm still trying to figure out. We
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: all know his glove is incredible, Ryan McMahon, but that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: he's a guy, like so you have second and third,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and he did draw that walk that loads the basis
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and Grisham walks to by the way, I've never seen
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a stadium cheer over a basis load of walk to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: drive in around. I've never heard of that loud bir
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a walk before. But hey, maybe we're appreciating small ball
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. But anyway, man's I'm looking at
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the average six point zero sixty seven. I mean, they're
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: gonna rely on his glove. I guess untill that's the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: rider or die, but that bat may not. But they
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: might just be played eight guys in the lineup. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: had to say it that way, but it looks like that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he'll hit a little bit, but I mean historically
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: he's not a great hitter. So I mean, if you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: look at the back of his baseball car, he's not
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a great hitter. He's an outstanding fielder. And that's why
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the the Yankees gone at the trade deadline for run prevention.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, you get back to you were saying
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that the Yankees basically make a lot of moves. Maybe
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it's good to run it back sometimes, you know, maybe Caviiro.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I know, I know bo't be Italian the whole thing,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: but Cavilero's I think a better choice at short right now.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Like he just is fitting in with this team very well.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I see no reason, uh to rush of Wolb back.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think Cabrilero's got a handle on it,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and I think he's a real He's a good force
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: in the lineup. And I love what Ben Race is doing.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Ben Rice is getting a very under appreciate
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: it right now because of what John Carlo did hitting
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: all those doubles or multi games for five straight. But
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Ben Rice is getting some big hits there, so I
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: gotta give him appreciation right now. He had the second
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: homer of the year, but look at the kids coming through,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and maybe he's settled into this role as as their
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: first baseman, every day guy. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Now I think you I think you're onto something there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't I underrated Rice. He's better than I thought
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: he would be.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: And I think that's not biased because I met him
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and had my picture with him. But you know, it helps.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: He's a good kid, so I know, I think that
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a contributing player to the Yankee season.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: And you know, we'll see. But as far as Volpi goes,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: when he comes back, they're gonna have to play him
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: because they don't want to get rid of him via trade.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: They got to show other teams that that he's healthy
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and that they could that they could they could him
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: because you know, they have players in the minor league
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: too who are playing that position.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: By way, I think it was wald of Cabrera's and
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the miners simply because they need him to to fully recover.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: You nobody was excited that he was in the major
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: leagues for spring training and all that, but that send
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: down I can understand entirely because he's still recovering from
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: what happened ten months now, eleven months ago, which is
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: just that slide was horrendous in Seattle. It was just
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: a horrible thing that happened, and it was just sure
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: it was And but you know, I applaud the Yanks
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: for not rushing him back because he needs that. And
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I was there when BOLTI had that awkward slide that
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: really screwed up the rest of his season in May,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, this can't be good. Of course,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: we didn't find them out until September. Luisa. That's the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: injury special with the inks, I like to say. But anyway,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: they can't rush him back either. I think you gotta
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: give him some time. And Cabiro is doing well, but
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I don't see him as a filling guy. I think
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: he should be the everyday guy Calpierro right now, like
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: he just he's adding to this lineup one way or
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the other. So well to see. And then Trent Grisham,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think people are gonna expect a lot
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: of him because he's signed that big deal. You know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I know it's what a one or two year deal,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: but still he's getting a lot of money for what
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: he's twenty two million, and I think that's a little
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: pressure right there to be up to the plate every time,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: knowing how much you're getting paid for that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Well, last year he had the big year and he
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: controlled the option. It was his option. This year, he's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: going to be a free agent at the end of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the year, so now the pressure is on him to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: perform in his walk year. And he's a good player,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I think I don't think he's gonna have
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the year he had last year.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: But like I don't know, Louis. I hate to say
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: this way, but in a cruise situation, it is kind
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: of I don't want to say comical, but it's like
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and here now up is Trent Grisham. You know, it
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: just doesn't feel like the Yankee way. That's what I'm
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: trying to say is a oh you Yankee fans want
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to all start every position typical. Yeah, you're a typical
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yankee fan. But he's a great contributor at the same time,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: so it's like, you know, we'll run it back.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they did a good job running
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it back. I mean, I think I think Sterns went
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: way too much the other way.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Someone today, somebody mind intend to me like I was saying,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: why Goldschmith's and there, Well, I think gold Schmid's still
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a very valuable asset to this team. He hit that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: three run homer the other day. Uh, his homer in
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Arizona last year helped change the season a little bit
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: for them as well. He's still valuable. I know he's older,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I know he's like a seasoned vet, but he's still
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: valuable to this team.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Alex. There was some uh, there was there was some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: talk that the Mets might sign Goldschmid because he didn't
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: sign until very late, would read up with the Yankees.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I would have been very happy with a one year
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: deal for Goldsmith playing first base after the Mets didn't
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: sign Alonzo. At least I know he can play the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: position to defensively, No, he's not Keith Hernandez defensively, but
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he's an experienced first baseman, not putting guys who's never
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: played at first base before like Polonco. And Polanco is
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a pro and he's a good hitter. But I you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to be the permanent
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: DH or not. I mean, I think the Yankees actually
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: did a smart thing by not going crazy and shaking
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: up the club.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: No, I think I think the guys they at least
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: they didn't lose anybody. That's the other big things. They
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: didn't lose anybody really from last year. They kept those guys,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: which was a big keep as well. So we'll have
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: to see Louis how it shakes out. But for some
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: reason at six and one now, Yanks have have had
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a better six and one start because they didn't have
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: to do with homers. Okay, I think they've only hit
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: like three or four homers or five. You know, it's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: not been a lot, maybe like seven at the most
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: right now, and then we're into game number what eight tomorrow.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, he'll be a tomorrow.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So I mean, that's not a bad ratio. I'd want
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to see them when with doubles and singles and grinding
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: it out instead of relying on the homer, because you
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: know what Louis. For all these years we've seen, well,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: if they're not a homer, they're not going to win.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe this year is changing that a little bit. We'll see.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely, I'm very.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Fired up because I want to I'm I'm getting sick
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of seeing these teams not winning in October, like it
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: it's time. We're due.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we think we're due. But if you're
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: what about if you're a Cleveland Indians fan will have
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: them once since nineteen fifty four, you know, so we
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: can say that we're do or you know, we're a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Detroit Tiger fan, or yeah, we can go down the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: line with somebody else.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And at the same time, the guys, who what is
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: it a three feet for them or two? I think
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: it's a I mean, the Dodgers have just looked pretty
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: monstrous already out of the gate. It's yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And and they're gonna they're gonna take their foot off
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the gas pelt like they did last year, and that's
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: what they did. And they're going to give Blake Snell
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: two weeks off and uh, they're going to baby o'tawny
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: as far as pitching him, and they're gonna baby the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: pitching staff. They'll win the division and then be ready
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: for the playoffs. And as we saw last year, anything
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: can happen in the playoffs. Let's face it, the Toronto
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Blue they could have easily won. They came within two
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: aus of winning the World Series before Miguel Ross the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: home run on top of the ninth and then uh
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: they needed one of the great defensive plays in World
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Series history and the bomba ninth inning to take at
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: t extra innings.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So you know it was with Alex It wasn't an
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: easy win for the Dodgers now, but.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Once you get once you get to the playoffs, anything
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: can happen. And last week and the gentleman that you interviewed,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it was a very good interview, Am Prefer.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Was that his name, Amteffer? Yes, yeah, yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: He said something during that podcast and if any may
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: want to see it was on YouTube, was very very
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: interesting that I always agree with. And I'm in the minori.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, everybody bases stuff on how many
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: championships they get, but he's right, it's it's there. You
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: always have a chance to anything. That team that contends
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: every year and has an opportunity, whether it's in the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs, the NBA playoffs, the NFL playoffs, major
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: League Baseball, that's all you can ask for. And I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: definitely agree with with mister Preffer. I mean, I'm not like,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: look at Buffalo, they haven't won anything. Yet. They haven't
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: even gone to the Super Bowl yet, but they're there
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: every year. And that's all I would want my teams
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And I think most I mean, they may not win,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: but their threat I always can see, you know.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: But everybody wants their team to be a threat every year.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: You know. I think the Pirates. I think you're going
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to be surprised. I think the Pirates and the Marlins.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: And also, by the way, we've only faced we've only
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: seen an NL teams right now. The Yankees have only
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: seen one AL team in three series and UH and
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the Mets have not faced AL. They've only UH faced
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: NL right now. So really we don't have much of
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the ALEX to look at right now based in New York.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: But what I saw from the Pirates and when I
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: see from the Marlins, those two teams could come back
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I could see some some real progress
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: for the Pirates at least base on what I saw
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: last weekend.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Louie Well, the Pirates brought up there the major league's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: number one prospect yesterday and he started today, Connor Griffin,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: shortstop six three twenty pounds. The guy looks like a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: looks like a twenty five year old man already I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: got a double his first time up against the Orioles.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Say which I think. I think the Pirates held on
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to win. They're up for nothing. I think they won
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: five to three. And they just signed to a nine year,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty million dollar deal, so which also
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: buys them two more years of his free agency. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think the Pirates have a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: chance to be better. But the thing is what will
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline? Will they go after that guy
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: to get them into the playffs. Remember this NL Central
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: is always wide open, just like the AL Central is.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: So there's no reason for the Pirates not to try
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to win games for their long suffering and loyal fans.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But Connor Griffin and of course schemes are too are.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Too speed of loyalty. Okay, we have the bait, we
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: have the stay in full. Today in opening day and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: someone says to me, because I pointed out, you know,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: it's been seventeen years, blah blah blah, She's like, yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: it's been seventeen years, and yet the fans keep showing up.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: But I'm thinking to myself, but look at the Cubs. Okay,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: they won one hundred eight years, and that fan base
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: shows up every year even during that one hundred eight
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: year situation. I mean, look, and the Pirates they have
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: a solid fan base too. So this is why baseball
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: is not going anywhere, because we still have our fan
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: bases that are gonna be there.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: The thing is, baseball is going to challenge their fan
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: base for loyalty. If there's a lockout a year from now,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: If next April third we are not playing baseball because
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of a work stoppage, that's not good. And baseball has
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: had has had a good last couple of years. They
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: had a great World Series between a pirate, between the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Dodgers, and.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Look, even though they didn't go to the inks way,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I thought that World Series in twenty four was pretty
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: good too. I have to say, I thought that was
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a very interesting World Series, especially Game one setting the
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: tone for it. I mean, in the Yankee fans, we
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: all wanted Tim Hill in there. But the quality of
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the series and the intrigue has been there two years
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: in a row. There's no doubt about it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And then, even though I am no fan of the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, there was juice this March with the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, there was whether you whether there's you
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: like the stupid rules or not, or teams telling the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: national teams don't pitch my guy more than three innings,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: don't pitch them at all, which I think knocks the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: credibility of it. But the bottom line is people are
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: watching it, people connected to it. So if baseball and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: they should have another good season this year. But if
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Baseball blows it with another work stoppage, you talk about
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: shooting yourself in the foot, that will be such a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: huge black mark on MLB, on Manford, on the play players,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the players Association. Really it's they got to get this done.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: They cannot be a work stoppage, cannot.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Be even a two week I mean, we got we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: survived that, but didn't I tell you years ago the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: way they fumbled through that that covid era was gonna
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: affect them long term. I feel like that's the case
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: here because I.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Think there's some truth to that. I mean, the covid
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: era gave us that dopey free runner in the tenth inning.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: You remember that even that sixty game season, when the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: season started, that bogus sixty game season, there was no
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: ghost runner they institute the ghost Runner a couple of
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: weeks in because the teams had so many players that
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: were missing games because of COVID, possible COVID contact, COVID
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: all at all, that nonsense. So you know, So, so
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: they cannot have a work stoppage next year, and I'm
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: afraid they're going to that will really hurt Major League Baseball.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But we have a Final four tomorrow night. Yeah, Yukon
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: with a tremendous.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Pat I think Yukon has it. I feel like they
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: have the most experience of all these teams right now
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: in the final four, So I think they have a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: chance to really run the table.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they have a chance, I really do.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody who was asking the other day, is the University
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: of Connecticut a blue blood like Kentucky, like Kansas, like Duke,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: like North Carolina, like UCLA? With their history, is Yukon
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of blue blood? I definitely say they're blue blood.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Right until I saw they had a ninety nine million
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: dollar renovation. That's pretty ridiculous too.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently they after Duke. They have Their basketball program
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: is the second highest revenue producer in the country. So
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: don't feel sorry for Yukon, that's for sure, But I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: think Luke A Yukon got a lifeline with that miracle
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: shot in a Duke game last Sunday, a game Duke
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: shouldn't never lost.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? If you're Duke Duke, you should
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: have been not bumbling the ball around like that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: You saw them getting nervous, you saw them getting panicky,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and it costs him the game. Now do I think
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Yukon has the best roster of the of these final
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: four teams. I don't, but I think they have the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: best coach. Yes, he's a lunatic and his sideline demeanor
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: is atrocious, and I can't believe he hasn't been suspended
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a couple of times, but he's the best coach, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Alex Caraban is the key. I know he didn't have
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a good game against Duke like he did the game
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: against Michigan State where he was the X factor, But
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Alex Caraban, in my opinion, is the key to Yukon.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I know that was playing great, he's playing like a
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: man possessed. But Caravan he contributed in so many different ways.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: He's a four year senior, and I do think in
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: these games, the more veteran, the more senior team and
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: which and has a better chance of winning these two games.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Caraban had a great game. He did all the intangibles,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: and he had a great game against Fichigan State in
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the regional semi final. In the original final against Dukie,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: did not have a big game, but he and he
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: only hit one shot, but that shot game with fifty
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: seconds to go, and it brought Yukon to within one
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and then off the steel. Caraban got the ball to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to Mullins and Mullen and Mullen switched to three from
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: thirty six to thirty seven feet out and you know,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: four tenths of a second ago. I like Yukon. These
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: are four terrific teams. You can you can like each
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and every one of them different way. I like, I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: like Yukon tomorrow night, and I think I'm gonna it's
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: gonna be a tight Michigan and Arizona Arizona game. They're
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: both great teams. I might give Michigan the edge. They're
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit more veteran.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Funny because if it was Michigan Yukon.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Has there been a bit Maybe I'm not following as closely,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: but has there been a Big Ten Big East matchups
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: since eighty nine. There has to have been, right, I mean.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Well, you know, it's funny you mentioned eighty
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: nine because it was April third, nineteen eighty nine when
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Michigan had that controversial coal go their way at the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: end of Beac Hall at eighty to seventy nine.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually the last time a Big Ten
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: team faced the Big East team was eighty nine, so
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: this was really historic. Actually, yeah, so that was the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: last time.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I mean that that's a game that Seaton Hall deserves
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to win, but we don't want to go back thirty six.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: And Big Ten hasn't won since two thousand. That's crazy.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a lot. It was Michigan State, right, yes, yeah, yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: so they have a long drought. Not in football, if
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: when three years in a row with three different teams.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I think I think Yukon, now that
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Yukon got a lifeline, they might be a real tough
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: out tomorrow night and if they win tomorrow night, Monday night.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Now about this perdue faced Yukon, but they were in
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: the American Athletic at the time in twenty twenty four.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The best thing I have to happened to Yukon bat
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Bringing back Yukon basketball is getting back into the Big East.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: If they were still in the American Danny Hurley would
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: not be the coach anymore, Hulcon elsewhere, and who knows
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: where the Yukon basketball program would be when the Big East.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, it helped the Big East too,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: but it helped it benefited Connecticut more than it benefiting
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the Big East. So but uh, but getting back.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know enough about Illinois to see say they
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: can beat Yukon only because you and I see U
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: kind of hell of a lot more than we see.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Uh. Yes, you know, well Keaton, Keaton Wegler, their freshman
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: guard is really good. Uh you know, sixty six freshman guard,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: excellent player. But I like Yukon. I mean, if I
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: was a betting man and I'm not, I would bet
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: bet Yukon. So so we'll.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: See in Arizona comes close, but then they always seem
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: to fall apart at some point.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Well, they have a lot of youths and uh so
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: we'll see if that and they've played thirty seven thirty
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: eight games, so that youth does have experience. Uh, but uh,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see it'll be it'll be a fun
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: night tomorrow and I have a fun Final four. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I guess if we if we just one of you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I want to wrap up things here. Uh, we got
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to talk about the incredible NHL playoff race in each conference.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, six teams in the East and six teams
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: in the West are battling for two playoff spots and
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: they're separated by you know, five or six points. Last night,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the Islanders got a little bit of a break with
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's game in hand in Tampa. Tampa beat them six
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to two. But uh, the Islands got six games left,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: one of them tonight against Philly, which is on their heels.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: They got they got five the elastics at home. But
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: they gotta win these games. And I don't know if
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: they're running out of gas. They took a three to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: one lead on Pittsburgh the other night, which would have
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: really put them in good stead, and up three to one,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: they had a power play, they gave up a short
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: handed goal, and they absolutely fell apart, and they left
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: they left Sorokane out to dry. And this was one
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: night where Soroken couldn't cover up the mistakes that the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: team in front of him was making. And uh, it
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: just loves to show you how important Sorokin has been
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to uh to the islands this year. So we'll see
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: they're they're in it. I mean, cal Richie is playing
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: much better. He's another guy, another rookie who's where the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: arrow is pointing up. But yeah, we'll we'll see how
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: they handle this down the stretch. I hope they they
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I hope they make it just for the experience party.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: This is not a Stanley Cup winning team, but if
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: they can get in there with the experience, uh yeah,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: forget get get shape, some playoff experience. And uh, I
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: mean the arrow no matter what, whether they make it
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: or not, the arrow, as we said, the past is
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: pointing up. Uh you know, and so we'll.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: So then again, once you're in you never know what
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: will happen.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Well again, especially when you have a goalie like Sarroken.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: And they have a better team than when they had
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm talking about Matt Martin's era the Anders Lee.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Although Lee was hurt those couple of conference championship series,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: they weren't the best team out there. I mean I
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: thought they might be, but I think now they have
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a really good team to really make a run if
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: they get.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if this team is as good
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: as that team.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: They still haves Barzal and he's always liable, you.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Know, So we'll see they got they got a Nobody
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: thought that that the Islanders, uh you know, would have
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: this type of season. Nobody thought they would have eighty
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: nine points with six games to go. I mean if
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: if they they have a chance to finish with ninety
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: seven points, and that may not be good enough to
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs, which is incredible. So we'll see one
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: other note in hockey. Two other quick notes. Edmonton. They
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: lost dry Sidle for the rest of the regular season
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. They've played better and they've
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: played different without dry Sitle. I'm not I'm not saying
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: that's the reasons on him, but.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Uh not on the ice when do we only those
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: are the two names I ever hear Conor McDavid and
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: dry Sidle. I don't hear anybody else on that ice
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: when or Heiman he's another guy here alone.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: But but they've played much better defensively. They've tightened up
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: much more defensively since dry Sidle Uh, got hurt because
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: with that, you know they were just outscoring people and
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the beneficial to them. Yes, they're in a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: pathetic division, whereas the NHL writers call it the pillow
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: fight Division. The Ducks have eighty seven points and so
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: do the Oilers, and the Knights have eighty four. As
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: we speak, the Ducks have a game in hand. This
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: is a bonus season for the Ducks. Nobody expect them
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: to do anything, but my point being non Block he's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a good defensive coach and we'll see if they they
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: get in. If they get or not. Do I think
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: they can go back to the finals for the third street,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I don't, but very it's very interesting since dry Style
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: got hurt that they're playing better and like you said,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: they've won five in a row. I'm not blaming dry Style.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying dry Sidle is a detriment. Shouldn't be.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: It's just how they've changed their style of play and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they're winning games two nothing, three to one. That's not
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that's not how Edmonton usually wins, but that's the way
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: No Block when he first got there, had them playing.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: So just something to keep in mine's last two weeks
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of the season, so NHL oh and Alex.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Only asked what is what it would be worth going
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: nearby tickets to the Islanders' Leafs in thinking that that
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: might be Austin's last game as a Leaf, I'm kind
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: of curious.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Well, Austin's out for the year, so well.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: That's true too, Yeah, exactly. He doesn't even at the tipson, right,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: No, he he's out for the year, and I think
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: it's more than it's probably fifty five forty five. He
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: will never play for the Toronto Maple Leafs again.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Well, tell you they're the most inexpensive ticket to although
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I guess the Islanders reversus the Hurricanes are pretty reasonable.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: And that's a good one too. It's amazing the Islanders
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: always draw reasonable ticket prices. I guess maybe it's just
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: because the Ubs. I don't know exactly, but well.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: They when the season ends, they will have sold out.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: They will have sold out twenty four straight games. I
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: think they've sold out. They sold about thirty two games
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: this year, and that's because the team's playing well and
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: because of the young phenom. Everyone wants to see that kid.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: The wonder boy.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the NHL regular season will wrap it up.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: The NHL regular season is better than the NBA regular season.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: The NBA regular season is you know, well we.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Got we gotta talk about that real fast. I mean,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: when he looks aside, I wonder about the Luca injury.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That's devastating.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: For no, it is devastating. And apparently he was put
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: back in when the Lakers were down by thirty one
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: last night. And I don't know why Reddick did that,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: but that just exasperated the injury. And now he's out
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: for an extended period and he's not eligible to win
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the MVP. And here's a guy who leaves the league
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: in scoring, he's up there in assist I think, and
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: and like fifth in the league and steel. So again,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: does the NBA have to look at that sixty five
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: game rule be eligible for either the first or second
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: All NBA and for individual awards? I would I would
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: say maybe yes, they might have to look at that again.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But the reason why the NHL regular season is better,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: first of all, the third point. The third point, if
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you go to overtime, keeps these teams in the running
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: for the top eight in each conference longer. That is
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: really one of the main things and there's no such thing.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: There's very few guys in the NBA in the NHL
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: who get rest match. Yes, there are some maintenance stays
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: for some plays, I'm not going to say that, but
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: it's not to the level of NBA plays. And the
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: maintenance stays for the NHL players usually comes when somebody
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: is towards the end of his career. NBA players are
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: sitting out, you know, when they're twenty two years old
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and twenty one years old.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Here's Jason Taita literally delivering our triple double and he
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: just was injured less than a year ago. I mean,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: You know he's done a great job of dedicating himself
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: to getting back.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: So and the other difference between the NHL NBA is
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: you don't have that in season cup like we see
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: with the NBA.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just that's that's waste times. I told
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: you a thousand times. But every every NFL, every NHL
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: game means something.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: And so that's two, you know, I know it's one
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two. But the way the seasons are
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: going the last few years, with the cutdown of the leagues,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: of the indivision teams playing each other, twelve times. N
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: MMLB is going faster now. I mean we were We
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: saw those teams facing to other eighteen nineteen times and
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: be a drag out fight every year. Now it's like
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: a simulation, almost.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Alex, there's too many interleague games. When he started playing
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: everybody a couple of years ago, and you know why
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you're doing that's for the regis the radical realignment that
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: is coming. And I've told you that. I told you
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: that three four years ago. But there's too many interleague games.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'd rather see more face to face, but.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now. Blue Jays, White Tux
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Interleague Game number one one, Raise Twins Interleague Game two,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Mariners Angels Interleague Game four, Astros Athletics Interleague Game five.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, so there's about seven or eight of them
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: that are intro, but a lot of them are inter
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you know that's the point.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, One last thing on hockey Tomorrow night at the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Garden at eight o'clock, the New York Sirens are going
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to play at the Garden. The game is sold out
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be playing the Seattle Parrent. So
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: let's give a shout out to the UH.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Gold out that I absolutely love it, man, I love.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: It, and that that hopefully gives the Sirens a boost.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: The Sirens are poorly marketing. Nobody knows that they're even around,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: so hopefully playing in the Garden helps them a little bit.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: But nobody knows.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: That played these women that played in the gold medal
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: game went back to p WHL teams. I mean, they
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: weren't just you know whatever. They They're actually professionals that
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: actually went back to teams after So.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, So hopefully playing at the Garden will give
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: them a little visibility. I don't think that they're going
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: to play all their games in the Garden, but if
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: they even split them between the Garden and Prudential, I think, uh,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that would help. But nobody knows that they're playing at Prudential.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: And I know somebody who works in the league, in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the p w h L, and he said they they're
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: the poorest market team in the league. So hopefully this
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: gives the New York women's team tomorrow.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: That's the other thing, you know, Iowa Hawkeyes, we're on
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the map because of Kaitlin. I don't hear about women's
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: basketball for Iowa. I know they were in the tournament
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: this year, but you don't hear much about them anymore.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: And actually that.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: They got a hell of a coach in mc collum.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: He's a great coach. And I think you're gonna see
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Iowa in the tournament on a regular basis.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know you feel about her. I love Kim
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: uh from LSU. I think she's a spark plug every game.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: That's a fun she's fun to watch his coach on
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: the sideline. So you know there are reasons doing to
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: women's sports, that's the part.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Kim Milk, Yes, yeah, yeah. She was a great point guard.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: I mean I saw a plaint point guard. She was
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: terrific point guard and she was a little, you know,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: fire plug. And that's how she is as a coach.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: And she's been a successful player and she's a successful coach.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: So well, I'll say you one great Eastern story about
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: baseball because I see, well, the Mets were home many
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: easterns ago. Obviously they go home on they were home
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: on East sometimes. But the one year they were home
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: at Easter and I was so ready to go to
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: the game after church, and as you know, we always
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: went to Saint John the Divine, so it ties in sports.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Paul Winter, who was a famous uh you know, brass
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: player for the cathedralis the music director and all that.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: I said, oh, what what are you doing this afternoon? Okay,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you know, indeed are gona hang around the yard to
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: see if we give Chase the peacocks. When I was
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: a little kid, I said, no, I'm going to a
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Met game now, like I was very excited to go
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: to the Mets after Eastern Services. So there's like sports
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: story for we've all. Actually that was that Easter Sunday.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: We had seen Bob cost Us up in the Yankee
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Suite as well, because we went up from Saint John.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: We took the D train uptown to the Yankee Stateum
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: and rolled in and there was Bob Costas. So that
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: there's another Easter memory for you.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: So well, I'll give you a quick Eastern stories. They're
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: both in hockey. In nineteen eighty seven, the Islands were
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: down three games to one in the first in the
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: first round to the Washington Capitals. They tie the series
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: up three to three. You go to d C, they're
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: losing by a goal and Trotcha ties it up. The
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: great Hall of Famer Brian Trotche ties it up with
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: eight minutes to go in a game, the game goes
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: to I think quadruple overtime ends at ten to two
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: on the patlofln Tango Pat Lafontein, another Hall of Famer.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: The Islanders win four to three. It's called the Easter Epic.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Then the next I believe it was. The next year
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: was eighty eight. I believe it was the first I know.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: It was the first time the Devil's made the playoffs.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: They made the playoffs the last night of the season
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: in Chicago and they won in overtime, which made and
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: they made the playoffs for the first time. Lou lamrell
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: just got there. There was a controversy in a game
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: in the Stanley Cup game on Eastern Night where Jim
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Seanfelt got into a beefoot with the referees. The previous
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: game got suspended and Lou Lamarello went to get an
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: injunction against National Hockey League so Shoonfeld can coach. They
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: won the injunction. Shoonfeld coached the Devils that night and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and the referees and linesmen refused to refuse to go
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: on the ice and call the game. They had to
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: get three substitute, uh ref and the two linesmen. In
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: those days, it was still one referen two linesman. They
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: hadn't gone to the two and two yet, and they
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: had him in alternate type of jerseys like yellow like
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: yellow jerseys. The Devils won the game, they got through
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: the game, and.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: They the NFL is about to do some replacement refs
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: because there's some situation there too.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: So yes, yeah, yeah, those are two Eastern sports memories
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: that are that I remember so.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: And this is why we get Termino's take for for
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: the nostalgia type of a team.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: That's it. That was crazy. The game was delayed like
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: an hour. Oh it was crazy.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: And uh and we've been neglecting. We didn't say tonight.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: And by the way, real quick tonight, Genailri. I mean
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Yukon women are in the final four, so I mean,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: you know, Yukon's very strong, but that yeah.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again I'm not I'm not going to denigrate
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the women's final floor four, but there's no competition. It's
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit better. There's no competition in women's college basketball.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched one second of it. I have no
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: interest in it. I hate to say that way, but
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I don't the same four teams that were in the
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: final four last year or in the final four this year,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: games are sixty five to twelve and a half. It again,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: that's just me. And again, I'm all for women athletics,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: supporter of women athletes, but the lack of deep competition
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: in college basketball, women's college basketball.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, Gino agrees with you because he's called
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: out the NCAA for not providing, you know, much of
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: an atmosphere for these girls, for these women to play.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: So there's that too.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, don't get me wrong, He's not a
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: good coach. He's a fantastic coach. Stalleia South Carolina. She's
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: not a good coach. She's a fantastic coach. But these
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: games just don't There's a reason they play the first
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: and second rounds on on on college campuses, on you know,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: the home team campuses, and not at neutral sites because
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the interest is not there. I mean, I hate to be,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: you know, so blunt about it, but that's the way
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Well, Lou, I'm so glad I caught you. I know
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: that's a busy Holy weekend for you, So I'm glad
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: we got a chance to catch up, talk some sports
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: and thank those in the Yankee family for continuing welcoming,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: while like a Balox media that this all conversation was
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: great and we gotta do this again next week. Well, well,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll recap the NCAA Championship because it's coming
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Monday night. I can't believe we're they're already.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it either, But yes, I'm looking forward
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: to it. And again, Ukon could have and it's happened before.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's happened. Yes, it's happened before where they
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: have both the women's and men's college champions and there
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: has a very good chance that can happen.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I mean, I think the NCAA,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: if they played, they wait a week till the semifinals
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: are done with the college football. Then they wait another
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: week till that next Monday play everything like so close.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: I guess you can't really though, but well, first of all.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I want to maximize the TV audience too.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and guys in football need that extra week, I think, yeah,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: they need the extra Yeah, I mean they've played a
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: lot of games. Cool, you know, So all right, Well
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: that's the other thing we got about it. Next week
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: is the NFL Draft, because I think the Simpson might
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: becoming the Jets. We'll have to see what happens there, Louise.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think a lot can happen between now
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: and between now and April twenty fifth to nine of
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: the draft, so we'll see, Louis.
• 55:13
