Nith the unbelievable Nith in as he always calls himself A.
1:08
Lot of hot ladies. The ladies man, as we all know,
1:12
he's always he's in and he likes to.
1:15
They call me the ladies man. The ladies man.
1:18
But I, I don't know if he's that.
1:20
He might be the hairy man. I don't know about the ladies
1:22
man. We've got a guest and I think it
1:26
is the guy that I haven't spoken to in a while.
1:29
He's out there in Alabama. He's Crimson and tidying his own
1:33
self. The one and only Mark Everett
1:36
Kelly. What's up, man?
1:38
What's up, boys? What's going on, man?
1:40
I haven't heard from you in a while.
1:42
You OK? Over.
1:43
There. Yeah, I know.
1:43
You know, it's high school sports.
1:45
It's just it'll grab you and keep you for a while, you know?
1:49
Hopefully they're not smacking you, you know what I'm saying?
1:51
But. Well, that's another
1:55
conversation. So what would you like to talk
1:57
to? Talk about my buddy all.
1:59
Right. Well, I mean, I, I don't know if
2:01
you guys knew about like back in December, I, I had, I had gotten
2:04
sick yeah, yeah, yeah. From the surgery.
2:07
So they I've been kind of yelling from that, but I'm
2:10
almost all better now and that that you know, that that
2:14
produced a couple of hard months, but.
2:17
Before you finish, I I want to say something.
2:20
This guy is gone. So if anybody doesn't know Mark
2:23
Everett Kelly story, this is a guy that's won two Emmy Awards
2:27
with ESPN. He's been through the wall, he's
2:30
gone. He has Crohn's disease, he has
2:33
cancer. He's gotten through everything.
2:36
He wrote books and he's been up and down.
2:39
He lived here in New York, He went down to Alabama.
2:43
You know, he's been through the, the, you know, he's been through
2:45
the whole, and he's found his way out of it.
2:47
I, I mean, you know, I love you, man, and I, I respect you.
2:51
You're one of the guys that you know, has been supportive on
2:54
everything that I've done and have been, you know, a good
2:57
friend. No matter if we talk weeks from
2:59
now or months from now, you always seem to support
3:03
everything I do and I really appreciate you.
3:05
So you know I'm always supportive and you ever need
3:07
help, you know I'm here for you, so.
3:10
That means a lot. I appreciate that and you know,
3:13
absolutely same thing back. But you know, I believe in you
3:16
guys. I've always have, you know, and
3:19
you guys work hard and you get, you know, so much.
3:23
I think there's so much you bring to everything you do, so
3:25
you deserve all the alkalades you get.
3:28
Thank you. You know I.
3:29
Appreciate it. And yeah, Speedy's.
3:32
Speedy's insane. That's what he knows.
3:34
So Speedy reminds me of me a little bit, you know, and Errol,
3:38
you're, you're like the the other version of me.
3:41
I'm a little lost. 1. You know, You know, sometimes I
3:44
grab one nut and the other one might be popping out.
3:47
So, you know, if I have two nuts, it definitely works
3:49
together. So there you go, Nick.
3:51
Goody's making his face so he knows all about the nuts.
3:54
All right, Mark, Are you ready to give us how?
3:56
About the Nets, because I I've watched the Knicks and Celtics.
3:58
So that's that's a couple, couple games.
4:01
OK, what did Knicks has done last two two games, being down
4:06
20 in the third quarter, coming back to win, I mean, but down to
4:10
the opposite against the Pistons.
4:12
Like when it comes to your play that needs to win the game.
4:15
They've done that really well this year.
4:19
And you can almost sense like you expect them to win.
4:22
You know, I expected them to win in Boston first two games, even
4:25
though they've lost, what, 4 to 5, seven this year?
4:28
They've really impressed me with what they've been able to do.
4:32
But you know, Barclay said something last night after the
4:34
game and he's right. I don't know if you remember,
4:37
I'm sure you guys do. But there are a couple of
4:40
instances where Barclay was on teams that lost the first two
4:43
games at home, and one of them was when he was the number one
4:46
seed with the Suns and they lost to the Lakers.
4:50
This is post Magic Johnson when Magic was kind of dealing with
4:53
his HIV thing and the Lakers, as in AC beat them in the first
4:57
three games in Phoenix in the best of five.
5:00
And then, you know, going back to LA, you figure, OK, they can
5:04
get one game. But it's like he said, if the
5:09
Knicks don't win game three, it could be a little bit harder.
5:12
Then the pressure will be beyond them.
5:15
But I think they they they've kind of I think they're ready to
5:19
do that this year. Now, I don't know if they can
5:21
get by the Pacers because they've always had a problem
5:24
with them and, and Halliburton to me is playing probably the
5:27
best of anybody in the league. But I I think that'll be the
5:34
Celtics. I think that went, I think that
5:35
went on Saturday because the Garden is insane.
5:38
Like playing basketball at the Garden is so beyond anything
5:42
that I can't compare to anything.
5:44
I've been to playoff games there.
5:45
I was at Game 5, but you know, with Jordan when Charles Smith
5:48
missed those shots and it was like going home.
5:51
I don't know, Especially it was like someone died and the the
5:56
people there I think are ready for something like this.
5:58
It's been a long time since the Knicks have been in this
6:02
position where they were kind of almost his favorite to go to the
6:06
Finals and remember they ever won a championship in my
6:08
lifetime. So these people are really
6:10
hungry. I will say this, if you're a
6:14
Knick fan, you should be very excited because I think that the
6:17
depth that the Knicks have, thank you to Leon Rose for all
6:20
the Knick fans that were so upset when they added him as the
6:23
GM. He has really put a mix of wing
6:26
players and defensive players that the Knicks have not had
6:30
ever. I mean, even in the 90s with the
6:32
players that they had, they had big guys, power forwards like
6:37
Charles Oakley and Charles Smith and you know, Mason, those guys
6:42
and and obviously Patrick Ewing. This is a different team.
6:45
I think that they have they've put these guys together and
6:48
they've done the right thing when it comes to development
6:52
with some of the young players. And hopefully we get to chance
6:56
to see this team actually get to the promised land and that's
6:59
playing an NBA championship and and see if they can get over the
7:02
hump. You're right.
7:03
I have not been alive to see them win a championship.
7:06
It's it's since what was the last time they won a Champions
7:08
73? Yeah.
7:10
It's been a long, long time and a long wait.
7:13
And why not? If there's anybody that can
7:15
bring a championship home to the New York Knicks, it's Jalen
7:18
Brunson. And if he does that, they're
7:19
going to build a statue of Jalen Brunson because he's done the
7:23
one thing that every New York fan wants to see, and that's a
7:26
championship from the New York Knicks.
7:28
And like you were saying many times are all like a Knicks
7:30
championship, bigger for New York than any other champions,
7:33
100%. Yeah, and I've never seen a
7:36
player like Bronson on the Knicks.
7:37
I mean, a guy that was that clutch at his size be able to
7:41
dominate a game. You know, Alan Houston had his
7:45
best. I remember in game six against
7:47
the Pacers in 99 that eliminated them.
7:49
You know, when the Knicks made it as an AC, you know Houston
7:53
was awesome in the fourth quarter, scored like maybe 16
7:55
points. No matter who they put on or
7:57
whether it was and Rose or Travis Best or whatever they put
8:01
on Houston, he just was able to score on him.
8:04
Latrelle Sprewell was clutch. I think he was clutch when the
8:08
Knicks brought him in. I right.
8:10
I mean, he had a couple good, yeah, a couple good Four
8:13
Seasons, but but he was two. He was 66665, you know.
8:17
Yeah, but Brunton just you know, when he missed that shot at the
8:21
end of regulation in game one, right?
8:24
He was shot. I was like, what?
8:25
Like he makes that shot so much. He's he's really, I mean, of all
8:31
the Nick players I've seen, this guy's the most clutch of
8:34
anybody. You know, Ewing was, you know, I
8:37
mean, let's be honest, Ewing wasn't that clutch, you know,
8:41
with his ability to miss free throws.
8:43
And I mean, he had a couple shots, don't get me wrong, but I
8:46
think everyone will remember that Miss layup against Indiana
8:50
in Game 7 is kind of like, and it's kind of unfair because
8:53
Ewing was really good. You know, I mean, now that he
8:57
wasn't there, I mean, Nick fans really took him for granted when
9:00
they had those 20 years in exile, you know, after Van Gogh,
9:03
he left. It's I mean, it's fun to kind of
9:05
watch them play. And I mean, like Madison Square
9:08
Garden is a special place. It really is.
9:12
Katie Smith said, like there's only one Garden.
9:14
And I know the Boston Garden, but you know, Madison Square
9:18
Garden in playoff time. I mean, those people love
9:20
lunatics. And, you know, being a New
9:24
Yorker and living down here and, you know, down here, here's a
9:27
different general down here, you get generations of people that
9:30
have lived here going back to the Civil War and beyond that.
9:34
OK, So it's kind of hard. They never really accept you
9:37
down here when you're annoying, you know, you mean, they're like
9:40
you, whatever. But you never become one of the
9:44
people down here. You know, I probably never will.
9:46
But, you know, being from New York and being home, like
9:52
that'll always be my home. And, you know, at times like
9:56
that when you know, last year with the Mets or, you know, this
9:59
year with the Knicks and watching it and being able to go
10:02
and talk about my routines and things that I've done or what
10:05
New Yorkers really like, 'cause they, you know, they get such a
10:08
bad rap. And New Yorkers are so kind and
10:13
considerate when there's something that really breaks.
10:16
You want a New Yorker that because he knows what to do,
10:19
he's street smart, he's not going to be fooled.
10:22
He's going to do the things that need to be done.
10:24
And you know, it just makes me appreciate where I come from a
10:28
lot more. Well, I want to tell you
10:31
something. I, I, I know we have to go
10:33
because we got a lot more to go and we have a little bit of
10:36
time. But you're absolutely right.
10:38
I think the Knicks are what they're doing right now is
10:40
pretty special and hopefully they can get it done, beat the
10:43
Celtics. That would be such a great
10:45
smile. That would put a smile on every
10:47
Knick fan's face. And by the way, when the Knicks
10:49
win a game, the fans outside the stadium, did you hear that after
10:54
the Boston game that the Knick fans would not leave security?
10:58
It's very Knick like for them to do that, brothers.
11:02
Are at game. 1. It's so funny.
11:05
The only fans probably more reckless is Jets fans, but
11:07
that's because they're just totally desperate.
11:09
Yeah, well, well, let's not talk about The Jets.
11:11
Please don't stop. But.
11:12
Here's what I'll only give you one one quick note on the go
11:15
ahead. OK, go ahead.
11:16
So the nice pitching staff. All right, so you've been really
11:18
good. So they've only allowed I
11:21
believe it's 108 or runs through 38 games, which is the 4th best
11:25
in team history. You know, the 68 team, which
11:28
really wasn't very good, but then again, nobody scored runs
11:31
in 1968, the 89 team, and I think he has a 71 team that only
11:36
allowed fewer runs. So it's kind of historic what
11:39
their pitching staff is doing and nobody really expected these
11:43
guys to do that. Well, if they can keep that up
11:46
because you know they're hitting him, especially Alonzo.
11:48
You look at Alonzo and Judge, two players that are over 1000
11:52
OPS and it's same line RBIs. So nobody expects Lonzo to do
11:58
that. And the line is there's really
12:00
not many weak spots. And you guys like got guys like
12:03
Mauricio and minor leagues, right, that are, you know, gonna
12:07
come up later in the year. So I think they'd meet a lot of
12:10
really good moods for the first time.
12:11
As a Mets fan, I feel like they're on the right track.
12:15
Stability. Yeah.
12:15
All right, let's let's just let's hold on.
12:18
Let's wait a little while. We'll see how this season ends
12:20
because we all know about the Mets and The Jets and the
12:24
Islanders, but we got to go. We got to go.
12:26
Bro, you can't put the Mets in. Jets.
12:31
Now. Let's not get into it.
12:33
We'll get into that in just a few moments.
12:34
Listen to the show. I know you're going to like my
12:36
Islander take. Keep listening, buddy.
12:39
We love you, man. Keep up the good work.
12:40
I, we got to come down there and we got to give little Alabama
12:44
Crimson Tide a little little New York, little filling, little
12:49
filling. We'll give them a little
12:50
Nebraska filling too. Little cluster over there,
12:55
little little juices. If Speedy knows how to squirt
12:58
it. Anyways, thank you, Mark.
13:00
We, we love you, man. Keep listening to the show buddy
13:04
Mark Evert Kelly. He's a friend of the show.
13:06
He is sensational. He's such a good guy, kind soul
13:10
and a person that I've always when he came to me and he asked
13:13
me to to join and and work with me.
13:16
Somebody I always looked up to. You know, he's a guy that's been
13:18
supportive on the work that I do and he's he always tells me
13:22
that, you know, you're special, you're great and you keep up the
13:24
good work things special is going to happen to you.
13:27
And he's been with the best. He's worked with the best.
13:29
So he knows and and I, I take that guy has gone through the
13:33
I'm not going to say it, but he's been through hell and back
13:37
again and it's amazing that he's still doing it.
13:39
I am. So I love the guy.
13:42
So I I just want him to know that I don't want to cry, man.
13:45
I don't cry, but he's a he's a good dude, man.
13:47
I feel so bad for him. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
13:50
as we do this now every single week, we call this King of the
13:54
Hill, the King of the Hill. This, Bobby, is the Beltline.
13:59
You never ever hit below that. Not that kind of King of the
14:02
Hill, you dumb. Are you ready?
14:05
This is King of the Hill. OK.
14:10
Guys, where's the good one? Where's he?
14:12
Of the hill everyone come in Nathan, get your butt in here as
14:16
well. You can play in this.
14:19
This is king of the hill. So the way this works, you have
14:23
categories, you have no idea, you just got a rapid fire.
14:25
Give your best answers. The king has appointed me, his
14:29
court jester to to give out these and he will rule on who is
14:34
moving on to the next round. So the first round is a peasant
14:37
fight, everybody for themselves. The two best competitors from
14:42
this round will move on to the joust, where they will joust it
14:46
out for a chance to take on the king in round three.
14:51
Are you guys ready to play king of the hill when you come at the
14:54
king? That's not miss, that's from the
14:59
wire. Omar.
15:02
All right, so here's round one. We are going to get into the
15:07
format. So here it is coming up right
15:09
here. Greatest New York baseball
15:12
unsung heroes in the last 40 years.
15:16
So for example, Derek Jeter would be a regular hero, not an
15:21
unsung hero. So, unsung heroes, let's go to
15:26
this one right here. I'll be up top.
15:28
We'll go left to right across the screen.
15:31
Name one. Tell me why within 30 seconds.
15:34
Then the next person goes, Jabba, you're muted.
15:40
Give me a New York Yankee or Met Unsung hero in the last 40
15:44
years. Me.
15:46
I was hoping you would start with why.
15:48
Why Jabba? Well, because their bullpen was
15:51
trash. I set an all time record of
15:53
getting to the big leagues the fastest of the New York Yankee.
15:57
The longest ever tenured start to a New York Yankee.
15:59
To never give up a run and pitch to a .3 and got us and saved us
16:04
and got us to the playoffs. Nathan, you're competing,
16:08
Nathan. That supports everybody.
16:15
So everyone knows, obviously the 2015 Mets run, Daniel Murphy was
16:18
the big hitter. But I'm going to go with Juan,
16:20
your eBay. Juan, your eBay veteran treated
16:22
position. He was a big spark in the
16:24
second-half of that season and also during that Dodger series
16:27
as well, with a lot of clutch hits and great defense as well.
16:30
An awesome leadership for a guy. I think it was 35 or 36 at the
16:33
time. Water eBay.
16:35
Huge ranch. Huge goody.
16:40
I'm going to go with Robinson Canal, their their their Judas
16:45
counterpart, sweet swing, play the defense and play that played
16:49
that out of his own style of play at second base with like
16:54
butter, apparently a good teammate.
16:57
That's what I got. Nathan.
17:00
Yeah, I'm going to go Alex Rodriguez.
17:02
You lose. He's not an unsung hero, OK?
17:05
Nathan, you have dirt on your face.
17:10
I'll I'll go with Jimmy Labra. It's 1990.
17:14
That's my guy and. Run off of Mark Wallers brings
17:17
the Yankees back in that series and they eventually win, setting
17:22
off that dynasty. Jabba next one.
17:25
Give me one more. We're going to go 3 Jabba.
17:28
Oh, I thought I was already going to win automatically.
17:36
Damacio Marte. Oh it comes from the Pirates
17:41
little low three quarter arm slot who probably should have
17:44
won the MVP in 2009. Didn't give up a run in the
17:48
World Series, punched out Ryan Howard like 9 times and Chase
17:52
Utley didn't get a hit. He actually came in when because
17:55
Chase Utley was killing us and I don't know if he even gave up it
17:59
either, but I know he didn't give up a run.
18:01
He was. He was definitely arsenic hero
18:03
in 09 in the playoffs. Speedy.
18:05
All right, I'll go with the O 6 Mets this time.
18:07
We'll go. Have to go with Andy Chavez.
18:09
One of the greatest catches in playoff history for sure,
18:11
getting the double play in that, and he actually hit well in that
18:14
in that series against the Saint Louis Cardinals.
18:15
A great pitching staff at the time with Chris Carpenter and
18:18
obviously Wainwright at the closer at that time, but Andy
18:21
Chavez got to give him some love.
18:22
Here goody. Aaron Boone Homer against the
18:27
Red Sox. That's a good one.
18:30
That's a good one. All right, I'm going.
18:32
To I'm going to say Jerry Harrison, Junior.
18:36
Oh. Who helped the Yankees win the
18:39
World Series in O 9 too? OK, I I will go with Luis Soho
18:48
with a huge clutch triple take helping the Yankees again in one
18:54
of their majestic runs to the World Series.
18:57
Last one, Jabba. I'm going to go off the beaten
19:01
path. I'm going to go Kevin Long, our
19:02
hitting coach. We led the league in hitting,
19:05
wrote a book, still in the league and considered one of the
19:08
best hitting coaches still to this day with Rob Thompson and
19:12
literally just one of the best that there is.
19:15
And we led the league, I think through four out of the five
19:19
years that he was, he was the hitting coach and he brought
19:21
some guys in that shouldn't have done what they did and, and he
19:24
was, he was phenomenal. Speedy.
19:26
All right, last one for the 2015 Mets.
19:28
So the other infielder on the other side of your rebate, Kelly
19:30
Johnson, another one that was a big spark for us, a guy that was
19:33
a journeyman, he played like 7 different teams.
19:35
And another one that was another not as good defensively as your
19:38
eBay was, but another guy is a lefty that brought some hits as
19:41
well. Goody.
19:45
Man, I don't know how I don't know You know, master Hero
19:50
Tanaka is pretty I mean he is a he's a he's a star, but he
19:56
wasn't ACC Sabathia type star, but he's a star.
20:01
I mean he locked down the he locked down the rotation there
20:04
for quite a long time put up some good numbers.
20:06
I know he's a giant. You know, Binam in Japan.
20:09
So I you know, it's probably not the best answer, but the same
20:13
time like CC on that staff. So I'm going to go with Tanakh.
20:18
Nothing. Let's.
20:21
See here. 40 years you don't have.
20:25
You can go farther back, OK? There's literally like 1000.
20:35
Who's not unsung here? I got all the hot ladies.
20:37
I don't. Know damn I'm going a blank.
20:43
Wally Bachman. Who got the hottest ladies?
20:46
That's yours. Wally Bachman.
20:49
How about? How about I'm going to say, I'm
20:55
going to say Terry, Colin all. Right.
20:59
OK, why? The underrated manager won a lot
21:04
of games for the Mets as a manager.
21:07
Players love him. He brought he brought intensity
21:11
to the game when he was arguing with the managers and also a
21:16
legend, a legend in the game. So.
21:19
There you go. That was probably your best take
21:21
ever on any show. OK, just so you know.
21:26
I'll finish this one off and I will go with someone who we all
21:32
gave a lot of credit to, but on the international and national
21:35
stage, Andy Pettitte's not a Hall of Famer.
21:38
Andy Pettitte, one of the most important playoff pitchers in
21:42
Yankees history. We got it done.
21:44
A mentor to one job or Chamberlain on our show we have
21:49
we got a tattoo right there of him.
21:51
The guy had the best pick off move in baseball, maybe in
21:55
baseball history. The guy was awesome.
21:58
He was automatic and he was going to give you depth in every
22:01
game that he played. Hey, Sleeper El Duque.
22:06
El Duque. You want to use El Duque.
22:08
That might save you. Yeah, I know.
22:12
Duque. Because any Lal Duque, you ask
22:15
any Yankees, any Yankees player at that time, no matter who it
22:19
was, who they wanted on the line with who they wanted on the
22:21
mountain, when the game on the line, it was L Duque.
22:24
Ask them all. All right, Errol, you get to now
22:27
pick who are the two finalists that will joust it out for a
22:31
chance to take on the king. So fish, I, I, I love you and I
22:35
love your takes and I love everything.
22:37
But you already knew what was going on.
22:39
So I I can't put you there because you're you're hosting
22:42
it. That's fair.
22:43
It's easier for me to host. Yes, Speedy, your takes were
22:46
great. But you know, there was a couple
22:49
of players that, you know, I had to dig deep to remember some of
22:52
the things that they did. The Al Duque thing really fit as
22:56
far as I'm concerned, not goody. And that's what helped you you,
22:59
you, you move Tanaka and edit all Duke.
23:02
All Duke is is to me, one of the greatest pitchers for the
23:06
Yankees, especially what he's did.
23:07
He's done in the playoffs. I think his record, his career
23:10
record, I think he was like 8 and one or something, a nine and
23:13
one. It's like ridiculous.
23:14
His numbers. It's sensational.
23:16
And and I'm going to go with Jabba obviously, because you
23:19
know, even though Jabba could be a pain in the ass, I I loved him
23:22
as a player. So I'll go, I'll go with Jabba.
23:26
My sleeper. My sleeper was David Justice in
23:31
that 2000. We got traded for Jake Westbrook
23:33
and like 80 games and hit like 20 homers and 300.
23:38
Be good of Speaking of Andy Pett.
23:41
I want to. I know his agent, Andy
23:43
Pettitte's agent now. Yeah.
23:45
All right, get him on the show Next round, everybody right
23:50
here. We're going to get Goodie over
23:57
here versus Java. I'm going to go up speedy.
23:59
We're going to put you down over here.
24:01
And. The next captured by the.
24:06
The joust and the question is best curveballs of all time.
24:14
I want you guys to go back and forth.
24:16
We're going to go five guys on this round. 05 best.
24:20
Ready. Curves of all time.
24:23
I think you guys will appreciate this topic.
24:25
Give you ready to gather goody goody have.
24:27
A good. Turbo are we, are we explaining
24:29
or no? You could just you can give like
24:33
a very quick, you know why you mentioned the guy, You don't
24:37
have to get in goody detail stuff.
24:39
All right, ready. Goody you can start it up.
24:42
Barry Zito nastiest curveball ever.
24:45
It doesn't even matter it Barry Zito left-handed pitcher.
24:50
Come on. Just watch the video, watch the
24:52
tape, watch the tape. I'm going to go Sandy Koufax.
24:59
Safe pick Sandy Koufax may be the best ever before it got hurt
25:03
Clayton. Kershaw.
25:05
Another one. Nasty, disgusting left-handed
25:10
Hall of Famer. Next.
25:11
Next. Speedy, this for you, Dwight
25:13
Gooden. Yeah, it's my guy right there.
25:16
Dog Gooden, let's go. What did Doc call his curveball?
25:19
He had a nickname for it, didn't he?
25:22
Speedy, you should know this one.
25:23
This would be good tic Tac, no question.
25:26
Don't tell, don't tell. Oh wait.
25:28
He'll get a new theme for pitch names.
25:34
Are we waiting on Speedy? No, it's the name of it.
25:38
I don't know. Uncle Charles.
25:41
Lord Charles. Lord Charles.
25:45
Lord Charles. Not Uncle Charlie.
25:48
Lord. Charles Bert Blyleven Blyleven
25:52
Twins getting a. Little.
25:55
Old. That's a good one.
25:57
Nasty. I used to have a shirt his.
25:59
That was when I played in Mankato and and Summer Ball.
26:04
That's all I had to talk about. Old Burt Ball.
26:06
I live in curveball. I'm like, I wasn't alive in the
26:09
70s, like, but then I watched it and I'm like, all right, dude,
26:13
he's got some shit. So I was like all.
26:16
Right, Java. I'm going to switch gears.
26:19
He was known as as the the Nolan Ryan Express, but his curveball
26:24
was disgusting and he threw it. He threw it harder than anybody
26:27
before this spin rate RPM garbage.
26:31
Throwing like in what? Like in 8889 it was, Yeah, it
26:34
was something like that. Yeah.
26:37
OK, that's good. I think let's get let's just do
26:39
one more each, one more each. Last one for me is going to be
26:42
Cody Allen. Watch this.
26:44
Watch this 2016 World Series run with Cleveland.
26:48
Watch the swings and misses that he was getting on.
26:50
His curveball ball was bouncing 55 feet before and guys were
26:54
taking full G hacks on nasty spike heater.
26:59
Also, you know what sleeper pick Dell and Betanzas but was it was
27:03
a nasty one. You guys.
27:06
Jabba, I'm actually going to go somebody that they said that
27:09
kind of was the innovator of the curveball and Warren Spahn.
27:15
The OG, you know the only other name that.
27:18
I was going to go Satchel Paige too, but.
27:20
Yeah, so you could have gone Satchel Paige.
27:23
Who even knows what he was throwing or what was on the
27:25
ball. I just throwing, but it didn't
27:26
matter back then. Mets fans may remember Adam
27:30
Wainwright's curveball a little bit too far.
27:32
Well, when somebody when when Speedy said Uncle Charlie, I was
27:36
like, God, Adam Wainwright, duh. How about how about how about
27:40
Charlie Morgan? Charlie Morton, Yeah, he's got a
27:43
good one. He's got a sweeper.
27:45
It's yeah, it's, it's flatter than a little.
27:48
Different. All right, Errol, that's, that's
27:51
the round. You heard their takes on the
27:54
Lord Charles and Uncle Charlie's of baseball history.
27:59
Who do you think moves on? To Tim Lintz, another one, yes.
28:03
Oh, I'll tell you what I'm going to.
28:04
I'm going to let, I'm going to let you and Speedy pick, OK?
28:08
I'm I'm fine. Me and Speedy.
28:09
You and Speedy make their decision of who should move on.
28:13
Speedy, I default to you. You make the choice.
28:16
All right. I like, I like the history that
28:18
Java was bringing with a lot of the the past like innovator of
28:23
the curveball, the past like history of the evolution of the
28:26
pitch too. So I'm going to give him a
28:28
slight edge. All right, so it's going to be
28:31
Jabba and Errol. Now do.
28:34
We even have to finish. He's going to win.
28:36
It's time to take on the king. Usually the king stayed a king,
28:41
but we'll see what happens now. In this round, the greatest
28:45
teams in baseball history with the year.
28:49
So I'm not the greatest single season teams.
28:54
Now I'm going to want three from each of you and we're just going
28:57
to go through the greatest teams of all time and give me a reason
29:03
why I'll get you guys get set up and come up with three.
29:06
I want the year, right. So you can't just say the
29:09
Yankees, although it's the correct answer in this one.
29:12
You will have to add a year. So here we go.
29:16
Let's get the next set up on here.
29:18
We'll put Errol up there. So now the four of us will get
29:22
to vote. Really, it's the three of us,
29:25
Nathan. You'll be the tiebreaker, all
29:27
right. If it actually no.
29:29
If there's a tie, Nathan's vote doesn't count.
29:33
Really fish, Really fish. No, I'm kidding man.
29:35
We'll just vote. Make different the play.
29:38
Ever as the best performance becomes or stays.
29:44
Let's. Start off with your competitor
29:45
Jabba. Well, I mean, I'm going to have
29:49
to start with the 2009 Yankees opening a new stadium, creating
29:55
an absolute legacy that the old stadium had built.
29:59
We moved into a new one, start off slow April we end up having
30:03
13 walk off hits and go on to win the World Series for the
30:08
first time in a long time and just established our name in the
30:12
history of that stadium forever as opening up and winning.
30:17
Errol. I'm gonna go with the 1939 New
30:20
York Yankees. I mean, Joe Di Maggio, Babe
30:23
Ruth, I mean the talent that they had on that roster.
30:26
I mean, if you look at their record, I mean, they were pretty
30:29
not only they had a great roster when it comes to that pitching
30:32
stamp, that pitching staff was great.
30:33
Their lineup was murderer's row. I mean, Joe Demager, one of the
30:36
greatest hitters of all time, I mean, considered one of the best
30:39
outfielders of all time. And then Babe Ruth to me, the
30:42
greatest baseball player of all time.
30:43
Just the talent from up and down from the roster.
30:46
And really it started the the the championship Rd. of the New
30:51
York Yankees. So I'm going to go in the 1939
30:53
New York Yankees. All right, back to Java,
30:57
although I have to mention Babe Ruth was dead, was retired in
31:01
1935. So he was not on that team.
31:04
That was the Bill Dickey. Well, I'm sorry, Joe DiMaggio.
31:07
Well, I'm sorry. Joe DiMaggio, Joe Gordon and
31:10
Bill Dickey. I'm sorry.
31:11
There you go. I apologize.
31:13
I would. That's the other team.
31:15
So there's like I kind of got off on it.
31:18
There's there's one other, the other team is the Babe Ruth
31:22
team. But guys, let's.
31:22
Move back to Java for a second. Java.
31:25
I'm going to go it's it's not the sexiest pick because they
31:28
didn't win, but I'm going to go most wins all time.
31:30
The 2001 Seattle Mariners with that was the rookie debut of
31:34
Ichiro set the hits record. And I mean, he was 10 at bats in
31:38
and never hit 300 below that in the rest of his career.
31:42
Granted, they didn't win, but they had, you know, all those
31:46
guys that they brought in and, and Brett Boone being a huge
31:49
part of that, Dan Wilson, yet Jay Buhner, you had all those
31:53
guys and just to get 116 wins in a season, that win, but that in
31:58
the regular season. And you know, 3 Hall of Famers
32:00
that's on their team, including designated hitter and Edgar
32:03
Martinez has a damn highway named after himself.
32:07
Yeah, they didn't win it, but that's the greatest regular
32:09
season team that that we've seen.
32:13
All right, so I I kind of flip-flopped it the 1927 New
32:17
York Yankees Babe Ruth 356 sixty home runs, 165 RB is Lou Gehrig
32:25
batted 373 with 47 home runs and 173 RB is they were 110 and 44
32:33
franchise record 714 winning percentage.
32:36
I mean, this is as good as any Yankee team.
32:38
That's that's I kind of messed up with the 1939.
32:41
So I, I have this, honestly, this is the greatest team of all
32:45
time. And then, then it was the 1939
32:48
New York Yankees. So I either, or you could flip
32:50
flop it. I, I mean, both teams were
32:52
great. This Yankee team was sensational
32:55
and really it, it just four-game sweep Pittsburgh Pirates in the
32:59
World Series. I mean, you can't get to any
33:02
better than that. Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.
33:04
You know, the Iron Horse and Mr. Baby Ruth, a home run slugging
33:10
machine. So there.
33:12
You go. That was the sixty home run year
33:13
I believe. Yes, it was, yes.
33:15
It was all right. Last ones, guys, Jabba.
33:18
I'm going to go the 76 Reds, you, you look at that lineup,
33:22
they won 102 games. They have Pete Rose, Ken
33:24
Griffey, senior Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, just
33:28
for for the Big Red Machine. And then what they had, I think
33:33
it was like the new era of kind of the game and and very
33:37
underrated Dave Concepcion, which I unbelievable.
33:41
They had a team ERA of three. It was just it was a fun team to
33:46
watch. They got after it and my dad was
33:49
a low key like Reds fan. So I was able to to get to know
33:53
those guys a little bit. They went seven know and won the
33:55
World Series that year. So it's a it's a different take,
33:59
but you know, they have 6 hall of farmers.
34:02
Very interesting, very interesting.
34:04
You give credit the 1998 New York Yankees, 114 and 48,
34:10
probably one of the greatest runs we've ever seen a Yankee
34:12
team have. I mean, look at the roster.
34:14
There's no lie to that. Derek Jeter, Paul O'Neill, Scott
34:18
Brosius, Bernie Williams, David Wells, David Cone, El Duque.
34:22
You just mentioned it right over at Tino Martinez.
34:26
I mean, this roster was stacked. Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera,
34:29
low to All Stars. Yes, Chuck Knobluck was on this
34:31
team and it could, wouldn't throw to first base.
34:33
Who cares? This is one of the greatest
34:36
rosters of all time. Great rotation.
34:38
I mean, you can't. There's nothing bad about this
34:41
rotation. When you look at Orlando
34:43
Hernandez, Andy Pettit, David Wells, David Cohen, even our
34:46
friend Jeff Nelson was a part of this wonderful rotation.
34:51
I mean, there's nothing bad to say about this team.
34:53
And by the way, they swept Ken Cannon, Caminiti and that Padre
34:58
team in the World Series. Yes.
35:00
And Bruce Bocci, as we all know, who went to the World Series
35:04
with the Padres. So the greatest I, I think one
35:06
of the greatest, more underrated New York Yankee teams of all
35:09
time. Give me that.
35:10
I got Yeah. Case 1998.
35:12
So let's vote on it. I'll start off the process.
35:15
I'm going to go with Errol mainly because the 1927 team and
35:20
the 98 teams would have been my two pick picks for the.
35:23
Yankees, of course you're going to pick.
35:24
The Yankees like. Well, I mean, you just pick the
35:26
2009 Yankees. It's going to go away, I.
35:28
Just I just feel like, well, duh, the 98 team had the record
35:33
wins, 2017 was the Babe Ruth team, and you feel like you got
35:37
to throw DiMaggio in there. I would have probably included
35:40
the 61, Yankees the 61. And sixty, I left off it, I
35:43
left. That off we we opened the
35:45
stadium after not making the playoffs and won the World
35:48
Series. Java.
35:50
It's still one of my. It's like you're comparing like
35:52
your favorite children when you're talking about.
35:54
Yankee. Oh bullshit.
35:56
Everybody has their favorite child.
35:57
I don't care what you say. Goody agree with me.
35:59
I don't care, say. Well, for me it's like favorite.
36:02
You only have one, How would you know?
36:05
No, because I know Well, well, either way, I, I, I think those
36:11
3. Combined, why did any of you
36:12
guys say 2024 Dodgers? What happened?
36:16
I like the Reds pick a lot though.
36:18
I like the. Red Dodgers were electric.
36:19
Yeah, they went to they went. To the World Series, and we knew
36:23
they were going to. Win.
36:24
I just look at, I look at the rosters and I, I mean those
36:27
rosters. 24 and. Just the wins, if you look at
36:30
the red, the Yankee teams that I mentioned, they won like almost
36:33
400 games all together, all three of them together, so.
36:38
The other thing is if you're looking at best, best teams
36:41
overall, like the 2009 Yankees would have probably demolished
36:46
the 1928 Yankees with the pitching that they have going on
36:51
now. So it's like it's just different
36:53
eras of baseball. Yeah, but that's not what we're
36:55
looking, Abe Ruth, because it's not what?
36:57
That's not what we're looking. For or the the sweeper the.
37:00
Ghost I don't think Babe Ruth probably would shoot his pants
37:03
if he stole that thing, but. That's not that's not the
37:05
question. We're talking about the greatest
37:08
baseball. He was.
37:09
Like a 50 inch. But that's not the argument
37:13
here. I don't that is not.
37:15
The that's. Not still bark on the.
37:18
But that's not an argument, that's.
37:20
Not a bone in the back. I.
37:22
Don't think there's an argument there I.
37:25
Mean right, So good I. Agree.
37:26
I agree with the with the with the with the ERA and style of
37:31
baseball. Obviously the Yankees owned it
37:33
forever. Forever.
37:36
Yeah, I got our old argument. So for 39 especially, I think
37:39
especially for like a transcendent.
37:41
Like, by the way, by the way, I give Job a lot of credit.
37:44
He could have went with something else, but he went with
37:47
his own intuition, even though he probably thought, hey, you
37:50
know what? I'm probably going to lose this
37:51
anyways. I'm going to.
37:53
Go. Well, yeah, for the same reason.
37:54
For the same reason I gave Jabba the point over goodie.
37:56
I have to use the history there. All right.
38:00
And Nathan, your your vote doesn't count because it's
38:03
already freed enough. You could judge next week so.
38:05
Thanks for thanks for sitting in on it, though, Nathan.
38:07
I mean, I'm just kidding, Nathan, but how would you vote?
38:10
It's a democracy. Vote with arrow man.
38:13
I guess his his his points are valid.
38:17
The Yankees, the Yankees, the two Yankees teams that won the
38:20
World Series. So.
38:21
By the way, I was thinking maybe the Red Sox with Curt Schilling
38:25
and. I almost put them but it
38:28
couldn't come out of my mouth. That was something.
38:34
As long as she's using dude wipes and taking care of my 2
38:36
hole I'm good. I will say this, I I got to give
38:43
Jabba a lot of credit. He could have went another
38:45
route. He went with that too.
38:47
I think it was the. King stays the king for another
38:50
week. Errol, you will take on all
38:52
competitors again next week. By the way, we got to mention
38:55
Speaking of, so I told Errol this Cam, Cam Lockers told me
39:00
that he's related to Ken Gifford junior and Ken Gifford senior.
39:04
Great, get him on the show. If.
39:10
He's related to Ken Griffey Junior.
39:12
He's related to his dad. Wait, he's related to both of
39:15
them? Yeah.
39:17
No way. Yeah.
39:18
No way. You guys, we want the family by
39:21
blood. Breaking news.
39:25
By Nathan's Modern. DNA tests, he said.
39:28
Tell us about us. Nathan, what was that about Cam
39:32
Lockridge? Related to Ken Griffey, Junior.
39:37
Really. All right, all right.
39:38
Speaking of Kings, the Islanders won the NHL Draft lottery.
39:42
The land them the number one overall pick, first time since
39:45
2009 when they drafted John Tavares.
39:48
This is the fifth time in their history they had their number
39:51
one pick, which includes drafting Hall of Famer
39:54
defenseman Dennis Podman. According to nhl.com Prospect
39:58
rankings, defenseman Matthew Schaefer is projected to go #1
40:01
he had 22 points. And a + 21 rating barely played
40:06
this season. Center Mike Mesa is the #2
40:09
prospect. He's the high scorer in Ontario
40:12
Hockey League with 64 goals, 74 assists and 138 points, which
40:16
averages one point and one goal at one assist, one goal every
40:20
single game. Center James Haggins Long Island
40:23
native is the #3 ranked prospect, but missed time with
40:28
an injury. He is.
40:29
He still had 37 points, 30 in 37 games.
40:32
Eleven goals in 20, 26 assist. The Islanders are still
40:35
searching for a new general manager after parting ways with
40:38
Lou Lamorello 2 weeks ago. Well, you know, it's so
40:42
interesting. This is a great, there's a great
40:44
thing for Islander fans. I know everybody's all over
40:47
social media saying we're going to win the Stanley Cup.
40:50
They're not winning nothing right now.
40:52
The Islanders are going to be rebuilding.
40:53
They got to bring in the right GM.
40:55
And the question is, as questions are, is I'm not going
40:59
to mention any names, but the the list of guys that are out
41:03
there are not and they're not list that you want as as far as
41:07
if you're an Islander fan or not.
41:09
So that's not a good sign. Nevertheless, Higgins was
41:13
projected to be the number one pick going into the season.
41:17
Mesa had a sensational year. He's to me, he's projected to be
41:20
the best player in this year's draft with the talent that he
41:22
has offensively. He's an offensive, defensive
41:26
forward. He's got a tremendous amount of
41:27
speed, unbelievable goal scoring opportunities to put it in the
41:32
net. He can shoot anywhere on the
41:33
ice. I Everybody keeps talking about
41:35
Connor Bedard and what Connor Bedard was coming out of the
41:38
class, his class. This guy is better and faster
41:41
than Connor Bedard. I think this guy is going to be
41:43
sensational player. I think he's going to be star in
41:45
the league. I think Higgins is going to be a
41:46
star. It might take him a little bit a
41:48
little longer to get in touch or get close to his talents in the
41:53
NHL. Nevertheless, this guy is a
41:55
special player too. He's going to be the highest
41:58
pick out of NHL history for a Long Islander to be picked in
42:02
the top three as a sensational story.
42:04
I I know a little bit about him. I know one of his.
42:07
I know one of his family members.
42:09
This kid, sensational Matthew Schaefer protected be the number
42:13
one pick. You never draft a defenseman as
42:16
your number one. I don't care if he's Victor
42:17
Hedman. I don't care if he's Paul
42:19
Coffey. You don't draft a defenseman as
42:22
your number one unless he's just absolutely a home run.
42:25
Now we all know over there in Buffalo, they did that.
42:28
It took him a while to develop and he's a good player.
42:31
I still don't do that. If the Islanders have the number
42:34
one pick and they can trade down to still get a guy like Higgins,
42:38
I would do that. Get another first round draft
42:41
pick from Chicago. They'll move up.
42:43
They're still going to be bad. They're going to be a lottery
42:45
pick next year and then you have three first round draft picks
42:48
next year from obviously courtesy from Colorado.
42:51
Thank you to Lula Morello, their own pick and the Chicago
42:56
Blackhawks. You give Chicago that other star
42:58
to play with Bedard and they could build around that and it's
43:01
going to take him a little. I I just think that this is a,
43:03
this is a great story for Islander fans. 3.5% chance that
43:08
the Islanders are going to win it.
43:09
And they and, and the one thing I can tell you about the NHL
43:11
draft in this lottery bowl thing, they do it in front of
43:14
the fans. They don't do it in another room
43:16
like the NBA or the MLB. They do it right in front of
43:20
your face so you can watch it. Gary Bettman slam dunk.
43:24
The Islanders are a lucky team team.
43:25
The Rangers are a lucky team. They weren't lucky with Alexis
43:28
laughing here. Hopefully wherever the Islanders
43:30
go here and the right GM, they pick the right guy.
43:34
If they do, it can set their team forward for the next 10
43:38
years with a young superstar stud to move forward with
43:41
Barzell and and the players that they have over there.
43:44
I call them Ricci. I mean, the Islanders could be
43:46
put in a really, really good position.
43:49
Hagen's Mesa. I go either or.
43:52
I'd be happy with any, but if you get Hagen's, don't draft
43:54
Hagen's at all. One trade down and then get
43:57
Higgins and get yourself another first round draft pick.
44:00
Right. The game now is centers that can
44:01
skate. And I think those two guys
44:03
definitely qualify for that kind of thing.
44:05
And you talked about with Dalene and some other defenseman that
44:07
were drafted early recently with the Devils, with Simone Nemec
44:10
has not developed the way that he should as a second overall
44:13
pick. And it sometimes it just takes a
44:15
while. And the Islanders don't really
44:16
have a while because they're trying to figure out what the
44:18
direction of this roster is. And it starts with somebody that
44:20
could skate like that, like Mesa.
44:22
Now Mesa is a little taller. He's a bigger guy.
44:24
Higgins has to grow in his body a lot of I think he's 5 foot 10
44:27
or. He's 18 years old.
44:28
And he's 18 years old. So I think there's a little
44:30
more, there's a little more traction that has to go.
44:32
That's why I think I I think he'll still come up if he does
44:36
get drafted. He's the best American prospect
44:38
to come out of the United States since Jack Hughes, and that's
44:42
how good he. Is and you're right, he for a
44:43
while he was the consensus #1 prospect until his injury and I
44:47
think December or January this year.
44:48
And a shout out to our friend Anthony Loraco too.
44:50
He was saying that Hagen's like skills are not far behind
44:54
overall. It just, again, the size of the
44:55
skating at this level, can it be?
44:57
And that's what we were talking about in the past too, with a
44:59
lot of these either Scandinavian prospects and the Russian
45:02
prospects versus the American prospects.
45:03
The American prospects have a better adaptation to the game, a
45:06
lot younger and much more of an instant impact overall.
45:09
And that's what I think the Rangers obviously fell into a
45:11
Capococko never developing the way he should have and stuff
45:13
like that. And I think you have two really
45:16
bona fide choice. I agree with you.
45:17
Try to dupe Chicago if you could.
45:18
If you want to trade back and take Hagen's, try to dupe them.
45:20
I think they're a dumb enough organization to fall for that.
45:23
Otherwise, yeah, I think you go. Me.
45:24
Why is it dumb Ed? No, I think Chicago.
45:27
I think they're a. Dumb.
45:28
That's not a dumb move for Chicago.
45:30
Chicago's looking for the other guy to play with.
45:32
Connor Bedard. Connor Bedard has been a bust.
45:36
Really. I know he's young, but he's been
45:38
a bust for everybody. Comparing him to the next Sidney
45:40
Crosby, the next economy David, he's not anywhere close to that
45:44
right now. I know he's young, but Mesa
45:47
could be a guy that they could be licking their lips for.
45:50
And then the Islanders sit pretty.
45:51
They get the Long Island native. They get the guy that they can
45:54
build around and now they get another first round.
45:57
Now they have 5 first round draft picks in the next two
46:01
years. They set the and they got,
46:02
remember Colin Ricci is going to make the team this year.
46:05
They got speed, they Got Talent to those two top lines.
46:08
And you still have Barzelli and you know who Mr. Vancouver
46:11
himself, who they spent a lot of money for.
46:13
So I think the Island and they have Sarokin and they have a
46:16
great young defenseman over there too.
46:19
That's why you don't. You don't build around the
46:22
defense here. You need speed, and the
46:25
Islanders have a lack of it. Yeah, maybe dumb was the wrong
46:27
word. I just said maybe a team that's
46:28
easier to do for because Chicago, I like you talk like
46:31
you were talking about like some teams just get the luck of the
46:34
of the lottery and Chicago was actually one of those teams.
46:36
But a lot of those players never amounted to anything.
46:38
I got a question for you. Yeah.
46:40
Why the hell did you not post up the argument with the whole
46:43
Jackie Robinson and you know, Lawrence Taylor?
46:48
I why haven't I seen that clip on SO?
46:50
It's on YouTube. It's on YouTube.
46:51
Yeah, well, get it up on on the other things.
46:53
I mean, that was a great argument.
46:55
I had to say this. I wanted to wait until the end
46:57
of the show, but screw it. You need to put that up.
47:01
Get the argument. It was a great argument and it's
47:03
a great back and forth Panther. And as far as you're concerned,
47:06
it's not the Rangers getting the number one baby, it is the
47:08
Islanders. So suck it.
47:11
So why? Why not?
47:12
There's been two defensemen taken 1st overall since 2018.
47:18
We got power from the Sabres and Dolan from the Sabres.
47:22
Sabres keep taking hacks at it, obviously.
47:25
Dolan's a slam dunk. Yeah, no, he's great.
47:27
He's. But it took him a while.
47:28
But it took him a while. It takes, you know, it's taking
47:31
a lot of these guys some time. I don't know if I see any others
47:35
unless I go back to like, I guess.
47:37
Ed Jovanowski was 1994. Florida Panthers No.
47:41
Florida Panthers, everyone else I'm looking at.
47:44
You don't see any, you don't go defenseman at #1 if you're
47:48
sitting there in somebody like, you know, the Chicago Blackhawks
47:53
want him or the the team right on the San Jose, then do it.
47:56
Trade them out. You're going to get Hagen's no
47:58
matter what. And, and if these teams want me
48:01
some really, really bad and there are teams out there that
48:04
will do whatever it takes to get me some.
48:06
He's special. He is going to be a great player
48:08
in the NHL. He is a great, great young, I
48:11
mean. Schaefer's highlights are
48:12
absurd. They they really are.
48:14
I was cutting highlights from his highlights are outrageous.
48:17
Canadian team, coast to coast type of defenseman making all
48:22
these great. He's not a defensive defenseman.
48:24
He's an Adam Fox. He's not.
48:25
I don't want to. He might be a lot better than
48:28
Adam Fox is. If he is, then we're talking
48:31
about a guy with like Leech type skills.
48:34
That, that's what. They got a player like that,
48:36
they got a player like that, they got a player like that,
48:38
they got a player like. That, well, he's he's like
48:40
skinnier and fat in like it just seems a little bit like maybe
48:44
not as aggressive like physically as maybe Leach was
48:48
going inside, but. You don't play defense.
48:51
I don't. Really young.
48:52
He's like 17, you know, like or 8 or what is he like 18,
48:55
something like that. He's been injury prone and I
48:58
again, he's 6 foot three, He's long.
49:00
It's great, good for that, good for him.
49:02
You do not draft the defenseman at #1 you're if you're unless
49:06
he's a bona fide and he's not the bona fide because I'm
49:09
telling you, I'm taking Nisa or Hagen.
49:11
I think both guys are going to be starring stars in the NHL.
49:14
Go after the guy. You have had a lack of speed on
49:18
your wing play or even your center play.
49:20
You need a star there. You need a guy.
49:24
Again, if I'm the Islanders, I trade out of the pick and get
49:27
Hagans. You can really rebuild next year
49:30
in the class that's supposed to be stacked next year.
49:34
You can get three first round draft picks in next year's
49:36
class. You're licking your chops.
49:39
If you're AGM, you're you're going to be sitting pretty.
49:42
But if you get me some the the Islanders get themselves a bona
49:46
fide star. That's going to be a guy that's
49:49
going to be able to be your center, your number one line
49:52
center. Could you imagine him?
49:53
Barzell and what's his name again?
49:56
Horvat. Beau Horvat, your two wing guys
49:58
and have this guy's you're centering your number one line.
50:01
It'll be sick. It'll be disgusting how good and
50:04
this guy's fast and he's an offensive defenseman.
50:07
That's what he is. He plays defense.
50:09
He's so good. He reads the eye so very well.
50:12
I'm not he's better than Connor Bedard.
50:16
I, I don't care what anybody says, he's.
50:17
Big enough where he doesn't, he doesn't lose the puck very
50:19
easily. Either no, he's strong.
50:21
Strong skater too there. There is some video I saw of
50:25
Hagen's like he's he's just skating around the ice and he's
50:30
not even looking at the puck ever.
50:31
Not like once. He's just effortless skating.
50:34
He's great stick handling. Best American.
50:36
Best American? Like, so impressive.
50:39
He's the best. So impressive.
50:40
I don't know if I would pass up on him.
50:42
No, you know, I it's first overall.
50:44
Do you really want to play that game like trying to drop down
50:47
the two or three and still? You're still going to get him.
50:50
You're still going to get one. Great.
50:51
Player What do you get? Do you get another?
50:52
First round, you're jumping from 3:00 to 1:00 and you get your
50:56
chance to pick who you want. All three of these guys are
50:59
going to be stars in the league. All three.
51:00
That's my point. Like if all three of them are
51:02
stars, why trade? And I don't know if anyone in
51:06
two or three is going to be like, yeah, no, I'll take any of
51:10
these three guys, You know, why would I?
51:13
Again, it depends on if there's a select desire for one of those
51:16
teams for. The Sharks or like or you're
51:19
saying don't want a defenseman that high, You know, like it's
51:21
very possible. Right and and again, both of
51:23
these teams just had the number one pick.
51:25
So maybe they think they can afford to just go OnStar OnStar.
51:29
But dart does develop and what do what people were expecting to
51:32
be and then Celebrini with the Sharks too, same kind of thing.
51:34
What a nice rookie year or two. He I think going to be a
51:36
finalist for the rookie of the year, but like the Sharks are
51:39
still very far away. So they could, they feel like
51:41
all right, maybe 2 two players that could be instant impact to
51:44
help the rest of the the role players out and just get them to
51:47
a more, I guess not necessarily competitive because they're not
51:50
a playoff team, but a desirable location against the Sharks used
51:52
to be when they first came into the NHL.
51:54
They were, they were rocking for a while.
51:56
They never won a Cup, but they became popular right away.
52:00
Well, I, I, I will say this time will show you that you don't
52:03
draft the defenseman at #1 and I don't think the Islanders are
52:06
dumb enough to do that. Even even if they bring in the
52:09
wrong GM. I think you go wing or center
52:12
whenever, whatever way you go, you're going to get, Higgins can
52:16
play wing and center. You're getting two guys that can
52:19
play both multiple positions, one's American and one's
52:22
Canadian. So either or you're going to hit
52:25
on one of them. I think I, I think that's where
52:28
the Islanders go. So it's going to be fun.
52:30
We will be back on Monday. Keep following us on social
52:33
media. I want to make it quick.
52:35
I want to make a quick announcement announcement
