  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Dearren.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: All right here on the onelog Up Network. A flood
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of emotions today, and firstly, remembering Commissioner Bernie Carrick, who
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: suddenly passed away at the age of sixty nine. We're
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: all taken aback, and I know Lou Turmanello Terminello's take.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: He was a great friend to nineteen seventy while you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: were here and over that really span of three four years.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Here, Alex, thanks for having me. Yes, I did not
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: know that the Commissioner was ill. That came as a
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: shock to me when I saw the news last night. Yes,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: he was a big part of the A nine seventy
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: era in the days that in our early days, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: did remotes with us, and he was in studio with us,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and he was just you know, just a First of all,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: he was America's cop during one of the tough times
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: in American reaching American history during nine to eleven. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: he was a great friend to all New Yorkers. So
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: God rest his soul. It's a sad day for sure, and.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That Jay was America's cop. At me, I remember him
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Pataki and Rudy leading us through and boy was he
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the right commissioner for that time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Then the other flood.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Of emotions today is twelve years ago I graduated college,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and that means it's about twelve years ago this August
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you and I got to know each other. The anniversary
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: is the times flying.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Lou Yes, I believe it was August sixth that we
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: both start on the same day. Little did I know
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that Alex was going to not only graduate from college
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and congratulations on your anniversary, but achieve what he's achieved
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: so much in the podcasting world and at the radio station.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: You're the heartbeat. You're the heartbeat of Salem, New York,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and you're a big.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Part of the reason why I keep going. You're like
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: one of the best friends and mentors I've had here.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: So thank you for that, Louis, Oh, thank you, thank you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: It is my pleasure. And thank you for being so
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: kind with those with those with those words. Thank you.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And one of the best things we ever did in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: this office is chopping about sports. That's why I created
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: this podcast, Turmanellos Take because we just get to talk
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: chop it up every week. So let's do it. Let's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: chop it up about what's been going on in the Garden,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: big comeback last night, Nicks now pushing the series to Indy.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: What were the keys of success, lou.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Key to success? Last night? The Knicks came out with
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a purpose. They uh pushed the They really pushed the pace.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And they don't play fast, we know that, but they push.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: They pushed their will on Indiana last night. Brunson got
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: off to a fast start. Obviously, Jalen Brunton is the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: best player in the series and uh he wasn't going
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to let them lose last night on their home court.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: He set the pace. The Knicks took Tyreef Halliburton at
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a game, and kudos to the much maligned mckel bridges,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: who's been taking a lot of shots from Knicks fans
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and the media. But he wherever Halliburton went, he went.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: He fought through screens. And Halliburton only took seven shots
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in the game, only five in the first half, which
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is almost remarkable. After his historic game on in Game
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: four when he had the thirty two points to fifteen assists,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to twelve rebounds and no turnovers. I don't think that's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: ever happened in an NBA playoff game before. But last night,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: only seven shots eight points, six assists, no turnovers. So
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: he's gone two games in a row with no turnovers.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But he didn't impose his will, he didn't make his
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: presence felt. And if they're going to win Tomorrow night
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and Alex Garrett, the pressure Tomorrow night is all on Indiana.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: They lose Tomorrow night, I think I think they're done
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and I can't see them winning Game seven two years
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: in a row at the Garden. Can they year? They can?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But this team feels different for the Knicks. I mean
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they have a better supporting cast around Brunson than last year.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I would say so, without without a doubt.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And so it'll be another interesting game la Row Night.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: And after this series is over, whoever wins it. Let's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: look at the Knicks first. If the Knicks lose this series,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: they're going to all summer, when they're on the beach,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: when they're on their sun decks, wherever they are, they're
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: going to say we blew that series when we blew
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Game one. The Pacers. If they lose, and we don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: know what's going to happen Tomorrow night or in Game seven,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: but if they lose, they're going to say we were
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: up two games to none, we had our foot on
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the Knick's throat and games three and they became very passive,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: especially Halliburton. I think Game three's loss was on Halliburton
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and coach Carlisle, who I have great respect for as
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a coach. He should have been able to coach them
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: over the finish line with just one or two, just
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: one or two little adjustments in that game. But Haliburton
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: has came up empty in game in Game three, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: if they were up three games to none, the Knicks
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: weren't going to win four in a row. They weren't
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: going to do two times in Indiana and two times
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: at the Garden. Now they just have to win one
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: time in Indiana. When you're down three to one. The
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: difference being down three to one and three to three
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to zero is such a different mental mindset. First of all,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: nobody's come back from three to zero in the history
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: of the NBA playoffs. Yeah, it's happened in the in
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the NHL four times. It's happened in baseball once, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: in three to down three to one, we've seen it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: We've seen comebacks in baseball all the time. We've seen
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: backs in basketball thirteen times, so you know, so it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: different and it's happened in hockey also, so the pressures
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: on the paces tomorrow night, my friend and Nick's I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: not saying Nix are playing with house money because if
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: they lose, their season's over. So the Knicks have to play,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: pay attention to their responsibilities on the court. Teams played
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: different at home and the road. I think we'll know
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: early on, especially Halliburn, if if he's succumbing to the pressure.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Now remember if you go back to the Cleveland series,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Halliburn had a couple of terrible games, the one game
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that they lost, and even he followed up that game
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that they lost, they won the next game in Game
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: four against Cleveland, but he wasn't the main factor at all.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: So he's the key, There's no doubt about it. He's
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: he's the key. And if Bridges could shut him down
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: like he did last night, and I think when you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: shut him down, he becomes frustrated when you try, when
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: they tru when uh Brunson is having a bad night,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: like even the other night when he shot six or eighteen,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: he just keeps on going. And I love that in
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a player. He doesn't care that. Uh, he's had an
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: off night. He just keeps on going. That's what That's
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: what puts Brunson ahead of a guy like Haliburton. Am.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I gives him one leg up over Haliburt.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: In other words, he gives him one leg up over Halliburt.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And that's that's that's Ryana Alex all Right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I will make this comparison because Game five backs against
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the Ropes. Uh, I don't know, I do feel like
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and you may hate me for this comparison, but I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: could not help but make that a vision of Judge
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and Brunson the clutchess here. And you know, it just
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: seems like Brunson's ruling New York right now. Is that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: controversial to say?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Well, Brunton has performed much better in the clutch than
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. We've talked about Aaron Judge. I mean, Aaron
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Judges had two hundred and sixty two played appearances in
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: postseason and had a two five postseason batting average. I mean,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and you can't equate. Brunton is nowhere near a two
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: h five batting average. Brunton has been a star in
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the playoffs this year and last year. So you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Brunton is ahead of Judge in the postseason. The postseason
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: performance not even close.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: That's what I feel too, and we got to see
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: him do it again. Now. Is it gonna be up
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to Tim to carry this team tomorrow? Or can he
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: rely on you know, a talents who's still low banged
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: up and a heart who has been I guess cold,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: but he's also been banged up too.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Don't forget Obi well all he has last night he
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: shot three for fourteen, and then a nob has to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: he has to he has to perform better uh than
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: he did last night offensively, and uh, you know, they
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: also need Bridges to give them more consistent offense. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: think it was six or twelve last night, and which
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: is which is fine. Anybody played great defense and that
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and you're talking about the kel Bridges who was a
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: former All uh a All first team defensive player. So
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they're gonna need they're gonna need that tomorrow night. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Netsmith Andrew Netsmith, who's been a thrown in the neck side.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's not how badly his ankle is,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: but he shot one for eight last night. They can't
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he can't shoot one for eight tomorrow night at home,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: or they'll be coming to the garden, and uh, that
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: might be the end of the Indiana Pacers if they
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: come back Monday night, if they lose tomorrow night, Alex,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I it's you know, anything can happen
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: in game seven, but I wouldn't like the Pacers chances.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Let's just put it that way.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I keep telling people with a lot of ten times
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that shot does not go in by Halliburton in game one.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, what was the magnetic force there? I still
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: can't figure out the physicals of that shot.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he got, he got, he got the charity hop,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: he got the big bounce that went in and forced
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: it to overtime.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: And of course I had to hit the backboard.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't have been in that position. Excuse me.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: If it had hit the backboard, it wouldn't have counted.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think even hit the backboard.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it hit the back iron, went up in the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: air and dropped through. But the Knicks were up by
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: nine with forty seconds to go, and it shouldn't have
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: come down to that shot, you know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So I also feel like, you know, it's amazing this
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: team has not been concerned being down twenty. They seem
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to thrive. I don't know how they get there, but
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: they can't go down twenty tomorrow. In fact, you would
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: say they got to shut down the crowd the Pacers
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: very early on right.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, And believe me, the crowd knows. The media knows
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that the Pacers have to win Tomorrow night if they
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: want to get to the final. They know that Tomorrow
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Night's Tomorrow Night's the game. Everybody knows it. Coach Carlisle
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: knows it, the pace of players know it. I even
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: think the Knicks players know it. The Knicks players know
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: if they win Tomorrow night that they'll have a great
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: strangle hold on winning Game seven. That being said, that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: why they play the game. And Tomorrow night could be
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a game where brunch And shoots six for eighteen again.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: But again, Brunton's so good offensively. If he shout shoots
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: six for eighteen or six for twenty or seven for
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: twenty one, he's going to get to the foul line
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: about ten times so and his mindset is, in my opinion,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: so much superior to Halliburton. Haliburton. Instead of running away
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: like Haliburton does, Brunton's just forges ahead. And you got
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to love that in the player.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Thibbs. I feel like he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: got to keep it a little more consistent if they
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: want to win Game six. It feels like he makes
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: all these changes, scrambles the whole thing around. Sometimes.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Well, he's gone deeper into his bench in this series
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: than he did in the past. I mean, I never
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: thought we'd see the lawn Wright or Landry Shammitt, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you know they they produced. Obviously, Miles McBride, you knew
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: was going to come off the bench, and you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: now Heart's coming off the bench. And I guess it
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter who starts, who plays the majority the majority
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of the minutes. I still would have started Heart. But again,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter because when as good a defender
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: as Mitchell Robinson is offensively, the Knicks are playing four
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: against five when he's on the court. I mean, besides
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: wide open dunks, he can't really do anything offensively, but
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: he has been He has made an input and an
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: impact on this series. I mean, I can't really question
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Thibodeau at all. You know, in this series, with the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: exception he kept Karl Anthony Towns. I know because in
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Game two, he kept him on the bench because of
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: his defensive in effectiveness, but still he got put the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: ball in the basket. He still got a score. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns would score as it as anybody in
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: the NBA, whether it's taking the shot from way beyond
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: a three point line, or putting it on the floor
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: and getting to the rim, or getting fouled, and he's
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: he's a terrific foul shooter. So but I if anybody,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: if the Knicks lose tomorrow night or lose Game seven
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and they start calling out Timbs, that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Would be wrong. I think that's not wrong.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So we'll see. But the winner of this
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: series is going to play the Oklahoma City Thunder, easily
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the best team and the best roster in the NBA,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: with all kinds of talent and obviously in Shakes, Alexander
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the MVP, who is an incredible all round player, Ken
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Holmgren who blocked shots, he can hit the three. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: doesn't look to score, but he's he's just terrific. As
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they are a terrific defensive team. Lou dort All First
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Team NBA Defense, Alex Caruso a great defensive player. They're
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: going to be tough to beat four out of seven.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say it can't happen if the Pacers
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: or Knicks play them, but it would be. It would
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: be whoever whoever wins this series this next place. The
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: series is going to be huge underdogs, I think on
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: all the and all the betting books and in Vegas,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, big time underdogs.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I think you're right, especially considering the fact that you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: they blew out Memphis in Game one by like twenty
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: points in the you know, in the in the first half,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: in the first quarter, that the scoring there was unbelievable.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, me, now I want to switch gears real
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: quick because I asked you a year ago, Louis, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: asked you about Conor McDavid. Can we see him get
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: back here? Well, he's back here, He's back in the final.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: A year later.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: He sure is, Alex, He's sure is. And I watched
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: that series closely, and Dallas is very fortunate that they
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: didn't get swept Edmonton, with the exception of the third
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: period where they committed some penalties and Dallas cashed in
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and scored those three power play goals to tie up
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the series set at one to one. Edmonton at outplayed
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: not Alex They outplayed them by miles over the five games.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: And we talked about this last week and I'm going
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to say it again. The difference maker on the Edmonton Oilers. Yes,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: it's they have Conor McDavid. Yes they have Leon dry Seidel,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Yes they have Evan Bouchard. But the difference maker is
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Chris Knobloch, the head coach. Remember when when he came
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: in last year from the Hartford the ould Pack of
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the American Hockey League. He took over team that was
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: three twelve and one and pretty quickly got them to
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: concentrate on defense more and they got to the Stanley
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Cup Final. Uh, he got they were winning games that
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: normally they they they would never win. But non block
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: has done has been the number one difference maker for
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the Oilers. He has totally changed the way the Oilers play.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: They have structure. No more run and gun with the
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Oilers offensively, if we outscore you, we win and we'll
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: we'll keep it that way. They they had no regard
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: for defense. Uh now they have. Now they defend with
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: a with a one goal third period lead. Uh, they
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: play with defensive structure in their own end. They frustrate
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: their opponents really playing paying attention to defensive detail and
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: that helps their their goalfenders who are so so they're
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: not They're not getting a lot of high level shots
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: against them, whether it's a Calvin Prickett or Stuart Skinner,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: who has you know, done a great job for them,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: alex you know me and Florida Panthers are a fantastic team.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: They smother you of getting Brad Marshall at a trade
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: deadline was brilliant. They have the better goaltender in Sergey
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: get Brabrowski. Bbrowski is just a tremendous future Hall of
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Fame goaltender. Matthew kuchuk As I've told you a thousand
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: times to play for my team any day. Alexander Barkov,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: just a tremendous all around center. Made a fantastic play
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: in the clinching game to help win that game. Card
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: of the Hagee. They have great, great players, but alex
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: this sometimes it's just a team's time, and I think
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: this might be the Edmonton Oilers time. These are the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: two best teams in the league, and the Oilers have
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: won twelve out of the fourteen games Alex forget, don't forget.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: In game one they were down two oh to the Kings,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: and I thought the Kings were going to beat him
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: when they were down to zero and they come back.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: The Oilers didn't won the next tour, and uh, I
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: think I think this could be the Oilers time, Alex,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: and and that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Would be a nice little foreshadow, because you know, when
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: the Oilers were winning, the Rangers were winning a couple
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: of years later, so you never know. Maybe it's all
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: bubbling back up to thirty something years ago. But I
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: would love to I don't know. I've advocating that I'd
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: loved to see Connor win the ring and win the Cup.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And I think any Ranger fan would want to see that,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: especially because we have that history with Chris Nablock. I mean,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: people forget he helped the wolf Pack win a championship
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: in the AHL.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: But Ranger fans should be saying, we hire all these
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: high profive coaches, Gordon Gallant, Pete la Volette, now Mike Sullivan,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: and we had Chris Knoblock right under our nose and
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: we let him go.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Trust me. If Ranger fans are saying that too.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying range of that's what Ranger fans
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: should be saying. They should be saying that absolutely.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: So I'll have to see and I don't know. I
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: feel like Skinner is crisper this year in net than
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he was last year.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Well again, he's facing less high level shots than he
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: did last year. And I agree with you, he looks
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: like a different goaltender. But that's a product of the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: new Edmonton Oilers system. I mean, in the third period
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: last night, there were really no high level scoring chances
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: after they made it four to three, you know, in
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the first ninety seconds of the third period. They really
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: shut down the Oilers after that. And you know, Conor McDavid,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I just can't see conomiccdavid in dry Sattle you're talking about.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have two or the top five players
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: in the league offensively.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and this like the Leaf's time, is the Oilers time,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: because that aial will not last forever.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: No, No, there's you know, there's talk about that that
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: they're not going to resign monitor or they are sign
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and trade for manor are they're not going to signed
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: to Faris in Toronto? You know, So so this is
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the and again they're come and it's in all sports,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: whether it's football, whether it's basketball, baseball, hockey. This could
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: be their time, Edmonton's time that to overcome all that frustration.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And remember the Oilers frustration is not like the Leafs
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: frustration because the Leafs had really had chances, they didn't.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: They only won two playoffs series. I know Edmonton's gone farther,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: but it was maybe because it's it's Toronto, the Toronto
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: media market that I they had a number one team
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: in Canada as far as attention from fans and media,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: But it seems like Toronto's frustration was greater than Edmonton's frustration,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: probably because Edmonton in the playoffs and any anytime there
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: was key spots, their defense let them down as much
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: as some of their offensive plays. Now they're going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: play in the finals without Zach Hyman doesn't look like
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: he's coming back. He has some kind of upper body
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: injury he was operate on earlier this week, so it
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: looks like he's going to miss the final unless it
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: goes maybe six or seven. Of course, we don't know
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: how badly he's injured because in the NHL they never
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: tell us how badly these guys are injured. But Alex,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I really like Edmonton's chances in what should be a
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: fantastic series between two fantastic teams.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: And here's another series that had the potential goes seven again, right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, and no question, this could be seven. All right.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I gotta touch on this before I let you go,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: because we're gonna have a more in depth conversation once
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the series. We'll see where the Knick series goes, of course,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: but it is Yankees Dodgers, and I do feel the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Yanks have a bit of an edge. You know, they
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: just swept the Angels. They've been on fire a little,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: but even with their one nothing wins, they've been doing
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the gritty work. They've been winning the gritty games that
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: will help them in Dodger Town. I mean, this rematch
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: is going to be hyped up and work the hype.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Obviously it's a it's a rematch from last
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: year's World Series. And you know, obviously, after Freddie Freeman
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: turned the series around with that Grand Slam, if the
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Yankees had won that game, the whole series could have
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: been different. But that that won a Grand Slam, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: did the Yankees in and change the outlook of the
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: whole series, and the Yankees had that on their mind
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: for sure. Now, if the Yankees sweep them, what does
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: it mean? Doesn't mean as far as last October, it
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: means nothing. Just means the Yankees won three more games
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: in the division that they've that they've already clinched. Nobody's
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: catching them. The Yankees knew three weeks ago, that four
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, five weeks ago, that nobody's going to catch
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: them to win the division. And the Yankees have played
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: very well, They've pitched very well, They've hidden in a
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: lot of clutch situations. Bellain just hitting now. Goldschmidt, who
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't think was washed up at all, is proving
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to be even better than that. And the Yankees are
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: in very good shape. They're in there, they're in very
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: for May thirtieth, they're in They're in very good shape.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And the only thing about with this situation is, Okay,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: this is what people who have cable TV. All right,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: we pay our case, we pay our cable bill, we
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: pay our cable bill, and we pay so much. We
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: get charged so much for s n Y, we get
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: charged so much for Yes. Last week, the Mets played
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers Friday, night Apple TV, and I don't have
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Apple TV, and I wasn't going to get it, you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: for the three months free trial to watch game one
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Saturday night it was on Fox. Sunday night, it was
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: on ESPN, And the Yankees have the same scenario this week,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Apple TV to night, Fox Tomorrow night, ESPN on Sunday night.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, if I'm if I'm in one of these
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: regional sports networks, and I know the future of re
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: regional sports networks are going to change, I wouldn't be
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: very happy. And if I'm a fan paying that monthly
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: freight and it's not it's included in the charge, you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: that sports package that you pay for. You know, come on,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get We're gonna get a break on the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: next bill. We're not. It's just just food for thought,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: just to bring that to everybody's attention, you know.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: So well, then y MLB collaboration is interesting, but it's expensive.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I mean, and now it'sist. Unfortunately, this
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: is the way of the future. But the thing is,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Gary Keith and Ron didn't do one Dodger a met
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: game on SNY from City Field. They were off the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: whole weekend you know, and ironically, after the Yankees leave
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Dodger State in Mexico went for four games against them,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and you know, I beat him two out of three
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: last last weekend. And but the Dodgers are tough, and
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I and I and Alex, I think the Dodgers are
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: playing a little possum. I really do. I think they're
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: playing a little possum. They're gliding through the season. Yes,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: they play in a tough division.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: But well they glided through Game four of the World
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Series last year. And then remember how you know, you
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: could talk about all the errors that the Eggs committed
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: in that fifth inning, but then Roberts really tighted up
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the bullpen the rest of that game.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: You know he did. I mean, and he that first
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: of all, he had the advantage that he was, you know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: he was up three games to one. And yeah, I
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: think the Dodgers know exactly what they're doing. I mean,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I got Glass now, Tyler Glassnew's on the
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: table list, and you know, and Snell is not going
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: to come back for I think it like another month.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: He's got and Snell and Glass now I've just been
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: fragile Major leaguers. But the Dodgers can handle fragile Major leaguers.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: As far as a competitive standpoint and as far as
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: a financial standpoint, they're paying hm, what are they playing
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: glass now? Thirty million, thirty five million? What are they
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: getting out of them? How many innings are they getting
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: out of him over the two years that he's been there.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: You know, the Dodgers have the arms coming back, and
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of course they have the lineup. It's it's just amazing. Now,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of other storylines I wanted to get your
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: thoughts on in the NL East actually is well, so
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: no rebound from his funky seems to be in And
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: also a Kunya Junior what a return for him?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's been impressive. His cats is a
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: second D operation that he's had, second N injury.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: And.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: It's quite impressive. It was quite impressive comeback for him.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: He's hitting the ball with authority. His bat speed. I
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: watched the game the other day. They when they're playing
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: the fields, and his bat speed looks like he hasn't
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: missed a beat, unlike Soto, who's that speed is not
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: to where it's been his in his past years. So again,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is just something he's going
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: through or not. I'm sure. Obviously they're working with him.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: He's feeling the pressure, there's no question about it. But
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: the thing is the metsa still winning. That's the only
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: good thing. And the Mets hitting woes are not only
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: with Juan Soto. They've hit inconsistently. I mean they really have,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: so that that's something that we have to take a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: look at as we go through the rest of the season. Obviously,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: they got to get Juan Soto, being as close to
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: one Soto as he can be. Ironically, the year that
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: they got trade at the deadline with two and a
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: half years to go on his contract from Washington to
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: San Diego combined that year he batted around. So it's
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: happened before. It just is different now because he's in
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: New York and he's the richest player ever in North
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: American sports, so and that carries a burden, and that's
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: part of being great. How you handle that burden. So far,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the reason why he's gone
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: off to a bad start, but something to keep an
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: eye on.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Mentioning emotional days by the way, as we wrap up here,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I gotta give it a shout out. Do you know, Lou,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: you might remember when I was young and I used
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to compete in the Games for physically challenge while at
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: nine to seventy, I tink a day. Often still compete
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: until I was twenty one or so and go back
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and volunteer. I'm sorry you remember those days. Well, it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: their fortieth year, thirty ninth year of games, but fortieth
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: year overall. And got to be at the opening ceremony
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: today to watch him open up the fortieth year of
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the NASA County Victory Challenge formerly the Empires eight Games
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Physically Challenged and UH, very honored to be out there
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and always special because that's like a family.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: To me, right and it's it is special. And uh,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I know you were telling me about about your your coach,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and that's a great that's a great lady. She's your
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: track and field coach. And all these people who who
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: coach and give time to UH support the handicap and
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: get them involved in any kind of athletic activity, UH
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: are should be commended. They really these people you talk about, UH,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: just wonderful people. That's that's what that's that's what they are.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: You can't you can't give them enough accolades.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to compile my interviews over the last
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: few years with some of these great people, including the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: founder of the game, Suegour and Ryan and uh, maybe
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: whip up a podcast about that, because that deserves its
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: own recognition.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: There no question about your one hundred percent correct on.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: This Terminelo's take. Thanks for a brief breakdown. We're gonna
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: get into it more as the week goes on, but
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I can't believe we're in the end of May early June.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: And hey, the Knicks could be playing basketball in June
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: if things fall right tomorrow.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can get right and I think they have
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: as good a chance as anybody.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And of course thank you to Luke Turmanella for his take.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: We don't often do this, but this is a back
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to back episode because on a night when the Yanks
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: take on the Dodgers. I was so honored that Joan
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Pelzer filling in fornight on Arthur Idylla Power Hour tonight,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: welcome me on the airways to talk with Dom Scala.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yes you've heard Tom on this podcast before and on
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the author Idolla Power Hour. Well, we chopped it up
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit about what to expect tonight at Chavez
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Ravine Dodgers Stadium. Yankees Dodgers the rematch. What will happen? Well, Dom,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Joan and I get into it on AM nine seventy
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: the answer Earlier tonight.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: We're back to the Arthur Idylla Power Hour with New
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: York City's preeminent trial attorney and quintessential New Yorker attorney,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Arthur Idalla.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is fun, Alex.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Because the Yanks are going back to La and the
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Knicks are going back to Indiana, and we got to
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: stand our ground if we're New York.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: You know, I like this.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: Keep playing this song, Alex. All right, hopefully we'll pump
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: people up. I was a little bit pumped up last night.
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: I did go to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: did not rain, and I got to see Beyonce live,
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: which was really really cool, very very different and creative.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: She run the world? Do you bet she was? She
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: was really dynamic.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: And you want to know something I I kind of
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: judged saying, how is she country? And I know many
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: people judged she was like something was a video she
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: had done was taken down by the Country Music Awards
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: or something like that. There was a whole big controversy
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: when her whole cowboy Carter and all that came out.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: But let me tell you, she did her research, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: I did my research. She was actually born in Texas.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Did you even know that that I did not know?
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Well, not only was she born in Texas, but by
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: the way, she actually avoided doing interviews when she was
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: first doing music because she had an accent the twang
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: and she didn't want to be judged in the media
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: about that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: And when she decided to go into this.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Country route, she did her homework and researched how country
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: music came about, and some of country music as we
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: know it is not.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Really what it was and how it formed, you know
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: what I mean.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: So it's you know, we gotta sometimes hold judgment until
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: we do all our homework and all our research.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: And you know who I learned that from.

  Speaker 2: Quicker got love some competition exactly.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: So you opened up with talk about the Yankee So
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: last year there was a real controversy Yankees against Dodgers.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: People are still sore about the Dodgers leaving New York
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: to begin with, and Yankees lost to the Dodgers. So
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: this weekend they're in LA. They're gonna have a head
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: to head. It's gonna be two powerhouse teams, Dodgers Yankees, Los.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Angeles, New York.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: They're gonna meet for the first time since the World Series.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: So who do we talk to about this?
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: None other than our resonance scholar of baseball, mister Dom Scala,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: baseball player, coach and scout, New York Yankee World Championship
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Ship team nineteen seventy eight.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: And it's Dom Scala.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Hi, how are you? I'll tell you what you did
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: your research on Beyonce. That's pretty damn good.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you. Jan I actually really enjoyed it
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: last night too.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: That's great. And I do all my research too, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: when we talk and I give you some things that
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: we can talk about, I try to do research on
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: what's happening lately, you know, in the major leagues. And
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of course tonight's contest between and the series between the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yankees and Dodgers. There's nothing better playing in Chavez Ravine,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: which what I called it back in the day. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, It's going to be a great,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: great series. I mean, the Yankees, you know, and the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are pretty pretty evenly matched as far as offensively
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: is concerned. However, and this is something that we may
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: not have we may not have I thought about this
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: or predicted this. The Yankees actually have the edge in
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: pitching right now. Okay, the Yankees earned run average is
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: over one and a half points better than the Dodgers
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is at this point during the year. And the Yankees
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: are batting average against and walked per game are all
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: are all below first or second in the league. It's unbelievable.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: You know, Max Freed and Rodina doing great. Magie Again,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: we talked about this. Imagine if they had Cole here
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: this this this series, you.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Know, wow, that would be interesting.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a very interesting you know, listen,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you know the Dodgers, you know they have Moxie and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers they played together as a team. So I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: gotta give the edge to the Dodgers in that capacity.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: But but I think the Yankees are gonna come out
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: on top. As you know, the Yankees right now are
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: sixteen out of their last twenty games they have won,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers are only twelve and thirteen in their
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: last twenty type games. So the Yankees are hot, the
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are not. So I'm hoping, Alex, what are your doors?
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Buddy?
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Well, when I see that Max Freed is opening up
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: with a seven to zero record tonight, I am gonna
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: boldly say this, it might be a sweep for the Yankees.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I just feel that momentum dom Call me crazy, but
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Yanks. If you can win a
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: one nothing game against the Angels like they did the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: other night, you can maybe go into La Dodger Town
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and sweep the Dodgers. And if I don't, I'll eat
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: my crow on Monday. But for now, I'm saying sweep.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. I'll take two out
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of three because they're because the Dodgers are home. I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: think they gotta win one. But I'm gonna say the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Yankees are gonna take at least two out of three
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: win another series. That'll be the two out of three
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: series that they have won in the last eight in
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the last eight series. So I think. I think the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yankees are playing very good baseball, but they got to
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: stay away from o Tani in big spots. I think
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: although last year they handled them in the World Series.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Am I right out?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: No, You're not wrong. Now, let me ask you this though,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Why is there such a different feeling We had you
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: on the whole postseason run and it didn't feel this
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: electric going into the World Series, didn't feel as hopeful
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: as this regular season series. Am I right?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Well? I think I think many Yankee fans are feeling
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the you know, the electricity because they're playing better baseball
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: than they did back then, even though they were in
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the World Series. They're playing very good baseball, and you know,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: this is a this is a series they listen. Man.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I remember back in the day when I was there,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Yankees and Dodgers twice in the World Series. They beat
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: us once, we beat them once. It's just a great,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: great right bull ring Yankees.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Dodgers absolutely, so wait, they're going to be in LA for.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: How many games?
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Three games?
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Three games, and then they come back to New York
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: and they play in New York next week. Yes, do
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: they normally do better when they're away or when they're home.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Well, their home record right now is better than their
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: away record, but they're definitely over five hundred away also,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: so they're playing good baseball. I mean, they're they're up
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: seven game, seven games up Alex in the last.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I long to that now, Yeah, you're right, and they're
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: six and a half of total seven in the lost columns,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: so they're they're really you gotta look.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: At the lost column because you can't make those games up,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and that's a big thing right now. Who would have
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: thought they'd be seven games up there at this point
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: in the season with no coal. But Rodin has been
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: very very good, Warren has been very very good, Schmid
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: has been very very good. And the kid Ya Borrow
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: has given them good stoughts. He's going to be pitching
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: this series, the kid Yard Borrow Lusty.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: You know, Jony Dom has caught so many legends, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I got to ask about the emotional say of these pitchers,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: because we know ro Don can get emotional on the mound.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: If you were a catcher in this era with these guys,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: what would you tell them? What would you tell Rodald
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: when he gets in trouble, Hey, just calm it down
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit, right.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure that Wells does that. I'm sure that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Wells does that. And I'm going to tell you something.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: He's been much better the last I don't know, seven games.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: He's got an era of under two, okay, and he's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: won four games added o seven and he kept them
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: in the other two. They actually won six out of
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the seven game last seven games that he's pitched.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: And Jon you know, he had ten strikeouts Carlos were
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: on the other night against.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: So I want to ask you a question.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: Dom you you've been a player and you've been a coach.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: What must these guys, including Aaron je be feeling right
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: now before they go into this game?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know, you're you're excited, you're excided.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: But when you're a pro, you have to keep your
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: emotions in check. You know, you have to make sure
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: that you take each pitch is different, each player is different.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: You never know what it's gonna be your turn to
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: come up there in a big spot and win the game.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: So your emotion's got to be in check. You can't
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: get too high, you can't get too low. You got
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: to be what we called what we call even keel. Okay,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: even keel. That's why you say even tell them like
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: college guys, you can't you know, you can't listen. You're
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: gonna fail. You're gonna fail more than you succeed in
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: this game. Alex, you know this. If you make out
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: seven out of ten times, okay, you're still hitting three hundred,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make a lot of money in the pros absolutely,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: So that means you've only succeeded three times ten and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: you fail seven times, but you still have a three
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: hundred batting average, and that means you're gonna make a
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: lot of money in the game and you're gonna be successful.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Now. One guy who's been hitting a lot more since
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: we last talked on the Arthur at Al Power Hour
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: is Anthony Volpe. What does he do he make adjustments
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: in the batter's box. I mean he looks better now.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's making adjustments. I think he's
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: seeing the ball a lot better. I think he's making
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: his pitch selection is better. And you know, when you're
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: going good, when you're going good, things just happen.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: You're getting good counts, you will miss the pitch you're
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: supposed to hit. And that's what he's doing right now.
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, So they're getting ready, they're excited. Is
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: there anything else they can do to prepare themselves for
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: tonight before they start?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Well, no, that's when the advanced scouts come in. That's
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the job that I had when I was at Pittsburgh.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You know, you go scout these teams about a week before,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: we get a half before, and you know, you know,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: you give your manager the information that he may need, like,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, what are these guys hitting? You
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: know who's stealing bases? You know you're prepared. You always
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: hear him talk about it in the postgame show that
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: we prepare before. In other words, they get in the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: scouting report now on the pictures that they're facing and
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: also the hitters that they're facing, and it's up to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: them to understand that the scouts have been watching these
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: guys and this is what you need to do. You
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: need to be patient at the plate, or maybe the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: particular picture flows strikes. Maybe he's a seventy percent strike
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: forward or what does that mean? You don't want to
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: get behind in the count, so now you've got to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: swing early in the count. You got that?
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, good.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: I clearly have never played baseball necessarily, but I've played
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: around and I've done I do pretty good. When I
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: throw in catch. I do it with my nephew. I
• 43:05
  Speaker 6: used to do it with my nephew he got older.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: I do it with my friend's son who used to
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: play baseball.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: So I like it. I think it's a fun thing.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: We were in Central Park on Monday for Memorial Day
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: and there were all sorts of teams playing, from young
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: young kids to older people.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: It's just something fun to go out and do.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: My friend's son Liam, I always get him with the
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: ball sets because I love to have him, you know,
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: hit the ball, or I love to have him try
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: and catch me hitting the ball. So it's kind of
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: fun something. Unfortunately, we broke every whiffleball we had.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Uh hah. That's a drill that we do it in
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: my camp. I throw whiffleballs. See, it's because why the
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: whiffle ball moves right when you throw it, it gets
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: the air, gets inside the you know, gets inside the holes,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and it moves different ways. And if you home keep
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: your head on the ball to hit it, you're not
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: gonna hit it. So that's what we use as well
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: as as a drill. We have we have little baseballs,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: and we have whiffle bawls.
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: I bet you broke every whiffle ball? Did you break? Everyone?
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: No, we don't break them because you know, we have
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: zemble and hopefully do you know?
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: You know it's actually hard to find with the ball sets.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: I actually my dad.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: I had my dad searching for them for Liam a
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: couple of different times, and then all of a sudden
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: he was able to find a couple at once.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: But it was hard sometimes. I guess they just sell
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: out quickly.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: And I wonder if they are made overseas, because maybe
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: we'll start having a more costly wiffle ball sets where
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: they used to be kind of inexpensive.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, they've become tournament friendly, right, So a
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: lot of these riffleball leagues have developed over the last
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: few years or something.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: I did not know that. That's kind of.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Cool, amazing, that's amazing.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Don dom Scala, you are a treasure tell us where
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: people can find you because I know you have an
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: amazing baseball camp for kids.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a camp coming up probably in thirty days.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: We saw our first one in Garden City Community Park.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: We're almost sold out, and I'm going to ask the
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: people if they want a great camp where they're going
• 45:09

• 45:27
  Speaker 1: this for twenty four years. Wow, I still see kids.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I still see kids that are older now, that are

• 46:21
  Speaker 6: her office is so happy. He was so angry when
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: they lost and very upset about it. But now I'm
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: sure he's happy that they won. Did you go and
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: watch outside to do the watch party?
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: No, it's so funny. Where I was at a party.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: You shouldn't go, because when you don't go, they win.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: After our show, I stayed in place in our studios,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: you know the studios you're in nine to seventy, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: did not move a muscle. You can ask multiple witnesses.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: I stayed here at one eleven Broadway, and they won.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: So I don't know about meant to stay here again
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: for game six, but just know I stayed in place,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: and it's funny. I was watching for updates. I didn't
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: want to watch the game. I was a little nervous
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: about that, so I just watched updates on my phone.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: All right, so what do we expect to happen. When's
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: the next game?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody, it's tomorrow night at eight pm in Indiana.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: That's why we got to go back and get that
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: game in India.

  Speaker 2: Right yeah, right outside the Oculus, which is a pretty
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: great scene too. So there's so many places to watch.
• 47:25

• 47:29
  Speaker 2: this in now.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, people want to get together. They don't
