1:28
for the first time on New York's sports loudmouth, ladies and
1:32
gentlemen, we are now talking to an NFL draft pick, and he's
1:36
going to be a nice one for the 2026 NFL Draft, Kent State
1:42
defensive lineman Jelani Davis. Jelani, what's up, buddy?
1:48
We're good, man. I mean, you look pretty good.
1:50
I mean, you're excited and what we got three weeks away from
1:54
maybe you being drafted in the top three rounds, maybe the last
1:58
three rounds or maybe your first round talent and nobody knows
2:01
about it. Right.
2:03
So I mean, I'm trying to give you some hype here.
2:06
I want the fans to love you. So I mean, Jelani, there's we
2:10
have a defensive lineman that was drafted in the first round
2:13
by the New York Jets, very high pick.
2:16
He's sitting right over there and quitting Copos.
2:18
What is it like getting ready for the combine?
2:21
What is it like just getting ready for something that could
2:23
change you and your family's life?
2:27
It's not, it's, it's not just staying focused.
2:31
I mean, that's, that's a big part of it.
2:33
I mean, just just knock out all the X activities, you know,
2:39
Because you know, going college from Pro is two different
2:41
things, you know, just translating in your mind to, to
2:46
average, to pro to college to pro.
2:49
So my biggest thing, just staying focused and working.
2:53
You got to, hey, it's not easy. You got to work.
2:57
I, you know, it's, it's so interesting because I go back
3:00
and forth. We, we speak to a lot of
3:01
athletes and guys that were drafting in the NBA, guys that
3:05
were drafting the MLB in the NHL and, and the questions.
3:08
I always, I don't like throwing these questions out lightly
3:11
because I was never drafted. I, I was a good hockey player.
3:15
Maybe in the future I would have been drafted, but that's a whole
3:18
nother story. When you look at some of the
3:20
talented guys that you're compared to and there's a lot of
3:23
good defensive lineman in this class, Reese coming from Ohio
3:26
State, you have a kid from Miami, you have a, another kid
3:31
from North Dakota State. I mean, when you look at all
3:34
these different defensive lineman and, and you, you
3:36
compared and, and there are a lot of people compare you and
3:39
contrast the type of style of player that you are.
3:43
Is there a particular player that you would match up right
3:45
now to you that's coming out of the draft?
3:48
Or is there a guy that you can't compare to you and that's what
3:51
makes you unique and different? Well, I'm more like a twitchy
3:54
guy. I'm 6 foot 1280 so if I had to
3:59
compare myself, you know, you know who I'm going for.
4:02
Who's that? Aaron Donald?
4:05
Really. I got to.
4:08
Now, everybody knows Aaron Donald's one of the hardest
4:11
workers in the gym. This guy, I watch his workouts
4:14
and I work out. So I, I'm, I'm serious when I,
4:17
when I go out there and I'm trying to bench or I'm using
4:20
dumbbells and I'm trying to put up one 10s or one 20s and this
4:24
guy's putting up one 50s like they're nothing and he's putting
4:26
up up 10 times. What type of guy, what type of
4:29
training do you have to go out there and do to compare yourself
4:33
to an Aaron Donald? Just like I said, just the
4:38
mindset he got just no work, work, work, no excuses.
4:42
I mean, 2A days, two days is more like to me now with 1A day,
4:49
I don't know if just big consistent is another one.
4:52
He's very good at that. Yeah, just like I said, just
4:58
big, consistent within, on and off the field, even just when it
5:06
come to the film room, Know your opponent, know what to expect
5:11
from your opponent. So, so JD, let me let me hop in
5:16
in there. Right.
5:17
All right. So you say you compare yourself
5:19
when you look at the film. When you look at the film, you
5:21
see, you say you compare yourself to Aerodon.
5:23
What what specific things that you think that you relate to
5:26
when it comes to Aerodonal? His get off.
5:30
Get off. Just get off for sure.
5:32
His his his eye. Carnation in his hands.
5:38
OK, OK. What what's, what's your go to
5:40
move right now? What what move you working on
5:41
right now with? My go to move.
5:43
Probably a cross chop. OK.
5:46
Or a counter. Or a counter.
5:48
Or a counter. Cross chop to a spin.
5:51
OK, so your counter to the cross chop is a spin.
5:55
Or or or a staff club RIP. I have a couple moves.
5:58
Actually I have like 10 in the back but you know when you get
6:01
ready for a game or anything you only need about 3.
6:05
Well, yeah. Well, two, you need one, One
6:08
that you open, show, move that you're going to always use that.
6:11
Can't nobody stop, you know what I'm saying?
6:13
Like when you look at Reggie, Reggie White, it was a club RIP
6:17
and there was nothing that nobody can do about it.
6:18
Each and every Sunday he lined up.
6:20
Nobody could do nothing about it, you know, And there's
6:23
certain guys got Ben, some guys got after the bill, some guys
6:26
use long arms. You know, it just depends on the
6:29
situation. So where you working out at?
6:32
I was working on it at performance out in Dallas.
6:39
I actually just finished two about two weeks ago.
6:43
I have four days last week just following weekend.
6:47
What were some of your numbers? Tell the people some of the
6:50
numbers that didn't get a chance to see you. 3030 Vert 510-5472 I
7:01
got 95 broad jump and I'm still waiting for the other number
7:04
Dave and he gave me my other numbers.
7:07
Yet, OK, Jelani, a lot of people want to know where you're eating
7:09
at right now because I, I mean, I hear people in the background,
7:12
is it Starbucks or we had a, a nice Chinese restaurant.
7:15
What are we? What are we doing?
7:16
About I don't even know we're at man, it's crazy that you said
7:18
that because I tried to find the the the the most quietest place
7:23
in the airport. I'm in the airport now.
7:24
OK, so I'm leaving Ohio. Where you going?
7:29
Back back home, back to St. Louis, MO because that's where
7:33
I'm from. I'm from St.
7:34
Louis, MO. Oh, by the way, if anybody wants
7:35
to know, we are talking a 2026 NFL Draft prospect, Kent State
7:40
defensive lineman Jelani Davis. Go ahead, Speedy.
7:42
Yeah, I was gonna ask about Saint Louis because obviously
7:44
they had the Rams move from Saint Louis to LII was I
7:47
actually wrote a college speech of why that wasn't going to work
7:49
at La. Nobody cares about your college
7:51
speeches. Tell an origin story for the
7:54
love of God, what? Why can't?
7:57
I I can't speedy go ahead I. Was going to say, So what was it
7:59
like with the football culture growing up in Saint Louis and
8:02
what were some of your experiences like growing up both
8:04
with football and with other sports you played?
8:09
I know where I'm from, the 314 is not, is not easy.
8:12
You know, Saint Louis, you really heard bad about it.
8:16
So you really don't hear no good about it.
8:18
But coaching in Saint Louis, I mean the coaching I got, I went
8:21
to, I grew up and the suburbs of Saint Louis.
8:24
So it was very well, very, very disciplined, a very disciplined
8:30
coach Where where, where you have to be disciplined and the
8:33
guys around you have to be disciplined and also on the same
8:36
page. So it was, it was, it was cool.
8:41
You know, Jelani, we look at I watch football a lot, like
8:44
strategically, I'm a terrible Jet fan and why I call myself a
8:48
terrible Jet fan because I pick on The Jets because I'm just a
8:52
terrible person. I, I just know The Jets are
8:55
going to be bad every single year and I root for a terrible
8:58
team. It's just, it's, it's just
9:00
everything, everything is persistent in my lifetime when
9:03
it comes to watching Jets football.
9:05
Look, I root for Quinton Couples and he was drafted by The Jets.
9:08
I mean no, but it's true. I I mean, I'm an honest guy.
9:15
We're work in progress. No, no, you look at the New York
9:17
Jets and The Jets could always use a defensive lineman.
9:21
If you were trying to sell yourself to the New York Jets to
9:24
draft you, what could you tell The Jets fans?
9:27
What could you tell The Jets GM and Muji and Aaron Glenn before
9:32
he falls asleep? What could you tell him or them
9:36
how and why they should draft you?
9:39
Come on, sell me. Jelani sell me.
9:41
Let him think, Let him think. That's a great question.
9:45
I wasn't ready for that one. No, but no, for real.
9:47
If I if I had to, if I had the GM right here in my face and
9:51
I'll tell him why or or yeah why used to drive me a hard work.
9:58
I don't ask no questions. I'm all about go go, go, go, go.
10:01
I get I just want to get the job done or just even if it's
10:05
special teams D line, like anywhere, like I'm just ready,
10:08
like I just want to win coach like so if you feel like you can
10:13
put me at this position, this position, special teams, I'm
10:19
with. I'm just I'm more of a team guy.
10:21
I think that's really why I would tell him him that it would
10:25
be a good thing to draft me, a player like me, because I'm all
10:29
about the team, you're all about winning.
10:32
Come on, you got to be a little bit more sexy on this.
10:34
I can help you out here. I mean, if I I'll pretend I'm
10:37
Jelani Davis. You ready here?
10:38
Here's here's my take. You know I'm a.
10:40
Hey Jelani, what can you do for The Jets?
10:42
I'm I'm, I'm a, I'm a sexy guy. I got, I'm a sexy guy with my
10:47
shirt off and my shirt on. I go out there, I'm a teammate,
10:52
I'm a lover and I love everybody.
10:54
That's what I'd say. And, and when I get in that
10:57
game, I'm clothes lining people. I'm beating the hell out of
11:00
people and people are going to show that I'm going to be eating
11:04
every night after the game because I'm eating on the field.
11:07
That's what I want to hear. Give me some power.
11:10
Errol's first target would be Travis Hunter.
11:12
Give me some power. You're a liability.
11:14
You can't be closing on people no more.
11:16
That's that's not legal. Well, I'm a liability everywhere
11:18
I go, so I might as well close on people.
11:20
Yeah, but you there. I am.
11:21
There it is. That looks juicy.
11:22
It looks like a piece of meat. I like that.
11:25
I like my chicken. Who you who you watching in this
11:30
in this upcoming the draft that you believe you should be in
11:33
front of? Because you know, as someone who
11:35
played this on the side of Aaron Donald, I'd be the first to tell
11:38
you that he didn't believe there was nobody better than him.
11:41
So since you're going to compare yourself to Aaron Don, I want to
11:44
know who in this draft that you believe that you got a leg up on
11:49
and that you can actually beat out in the position.
11:53
That's crazy because I got a couple.
11:56
Talk to me. What's the what's the defensive
11:59
tackle? That's, that's, that's He played
12:02
the Navy. Landon Robertson.
12:04
Navy and land and the Navy. Yeah, Landon Robinson.
12:08
Yeah, he played for Navy, Detective for Navy.
12:12
Landon Robertson. OK, who else?
12:15
He played for Navy. Yeah, Landon Robertson, I know
12:19
you're talking about. I got a thing.
12:22
I'm not too much educated about the D lineman that's.
12:26
You don't see no competition. No, I don't, I don't really see
12:29
nothing. I really don't.
12:31
I really don't especially just because, you know, I was in, I
12:34
was in the G5 conference or so you know, like, like I said, I
12:38
was, I was ranked high like until like week 6-7 top 25 in
12:44
the country for G5 and, and, and they had me at like they had me
12:48
at like 2120 and and I'm just like, OK, he, you know what I'm
12:54
saying? Politics, policy at the end of
12:55
the day. But when we turn that film on,
13:00
it's nowhere near comparison. So what do you say to the people
13:04
you know, being that you played at a lower tier school?
13:08
How, how can people you know, how can coaches, GMs, you know
13:12
when they ask you the question, how can can they trust you to be
13:16
able to be dominant against guys that played in power 5 and
13:20
better schools and against grown men now that you going into the
13:22
NFL? Yes, Yes, I can because I've
13:26
already experienced that this year.
13:28
We played we played three, we played three.
13:30
Powerhouse. No, Yeah, well, no, we played
13:33
three top ranked teams in the country.
13:36
We played Florida State, we played Texas Tech and we played
13:40
Oklahoma. And during that time when we was
13:42
playing them in the beginning of the season, they were all ranked
13:45
top, top ten in the country. So for, for that experience, you
13:54
know what I'm saying? Like when you play them them
13:56
them higher schools, it's more about your technique.
14:00
It's not like like the first game was Merrimack this year or
14:05
last year and I had like a 93 PFF grade, A pass passwords
14:09
grade. And then I can play Texas Tech
14:13
Oklahoma. I might have a 70.
14:16
So it was just showing me how like you got to be more
14:18
technical and boring. Be in your in your notes and
14:23
film like you have to watch film when you playing them guys.
14:26
Then I know scrubs, like I said, they're technical and they
14:29
discipline, discipline boys that that's on the mission just like
14:33
me that listen to their coaches. It worked your way up to that
14:37
FSU game or that FSU game where you had five total tackles in
14:40
that game, I believe. I think two of them were for
14:42
loss as well. So like when you worked your way
14:45
after that and after the game, like what was it like facing
14:48
A-Team like that and then realizing you had that kind of
14:50
result and where it took you to that next level?
14:53
It's crazy because I you know, you, you know, it's a kids dream
14:59
to always go P5 or play AP5 team in this in this game.
15:03
So I wasn't really like, I don't know, I didn't know how to take
15:06
it at first, but it was it was a good experience.
15:10
It was very different honestly, like after the game when I had
15:14
whatever, I had like 5 seconds, you said one of the starting off
15:20
this line that came up to me and was like, man, we literally game
15:22
playing you for the whole week. Like, like our coach told us,
15:26
like you better guard this guy. And that game was a real
15:29
awakening for me. Like I said from the Merrimack
15:32
game, I was getting triple teams back-to-back to back or double
15:37
team back-to-back to back. So if I beat one guy, I got
15:39
another one coming. So that's just like I said, I
15:43
that that just taught me a lot because the game can get harder
15:47
and harder and harder and harder.
15:49
We are talking to 2026 NFL draft prospect Kent State defensive
15:54
lineman Jelani Davis. Jelani.
15:56
Now we watch the game and there's a lot of stuff we we
16:00
understand about the game and there's a lot of stuff we don't,
16:02
but we want to get to know you as a person now.
16:05
What's your favorite meal? What it what do you like to eat?
16:08
What do you eat a certain meal before a game?
16:11
Do you have some kind of ritual that you do before a game?
16:14
Do you not wear underwear under your your pants?
16:18
What do you do? What is Is there something out
16:20
there that you do that nobody does that would make people
16:23
intrigued to buy in to Jelani Davis?
16:27
It's crazy saying that because every pregame or or a night
16:31
before a game, I always get a salad.
16:34
Like you know how like at the hotel they have like pasta,
16:39
chicken, shrimp, all type of stuff.
16:41
The whole 9. I I usually just have me a
16:43
salad. I have me a salad with a apple
16:46
juice and or water. Apple juice with a salad.
16:49
I mean, interesting. Apple juice with salad.
16:53
I've been doing it for the last four or five years I've been in
16:55
college. You know, you know, it's funny
16:57
you say salad. I mean, Speedy loves tossed
16:59
salad, right? You like your salad?
17:01
It has to be tossed salad is salad.
17:04
Oh my God. Well, you know, and we like to
17:10
throw some curve balls at the old speedster.
17:13
But Jelani, that's what I love. And I love people being honest.
17:17
And there it is. You've got super powers.
17:18
I mean, you're in the next Space Jam, or we'll call it, well,
17:22
we'll call it speed Jam because that's speedy has this new movie
17:25
coming out with and he's he's the head, you know, counter
17:29
partner of the cartoon character of Mickey Mouse and Minnie
17:32
Mouse. But I, I want to I want to get
17:34
into your thought of the NFL draft and, and getting a chance
17:39
to go to Pittsburgh or are you going to Pittsburgh?
17:41
What are you doing? Are are you going to go?
17:43
I, I, if you're not a first round draft pick, you're not
17:45
going to get a chance to walk on the stage.
17:47
Is there a particular place you want to be for this draft?
17:51
Are you going to be with your family?
17:52
Do you want to go to Pittsburgh and see the crazy fans and and
17:55
get a chance to experience the the great part of the NFL draft?
18:00
What What are your plans to do for the NFL Draft?
18:03
You know, I wish I can go to the the draft in Pittsburgh, but you
18:07
know, it's not politics. But for sure, I'm going to death
18:12
be with my family, my mom and my and my close friends on a on a
18:17
draft day because I'm going, I'm going, I'm going more third day
18:24
UDFA. How many brothers and sisters do
18:28
you have, by the way? I have two.
18:30
I have two sisters. Two sisters, how old are they?
18:33
21 and the other one's older than me, about six months, so
18:37
she's 25. How old are you, Jelani?
18:40
I'm 24. You're 24 years old, OK?
18:43
You're a mama's boy, right? For sure 100.
18:45
Percent mama's boy. All right, all right, so the
18:48
reason why I ask you this question because I wasn't I
18:51
wasn't a mama's boy and I wasn't a daddy's boy.
18:53
So I was trying to find my way as a kid.
18:55
So a lot of these people, a lot of these draft picks that I've
18:58
asked over the years, they don't give me answers.
19:00
Well, I'm a mama's boy, daddy's boy, all right?
19:02
I'm a forced kid. That's why I wanted to ask you.
19:04
So I mean, when you look at all your experiences as a young
19:09
athlete moving now to a professional team, what has
19:14
helped you grow up as a young student, a young athlete, and
19:19
why do you believe you can transition into the NFL?
19:27
A big part of me, which is really me growing up, was
19:32
listening. You know, it was hard hit as a
19:33
kid. I didn't, like I said, my mom
19:37
was the only one. She's the only household like
19:41
the only parent that really raised me.
19:44
So, you know, I, I didn't really have no father figure in my
19:46
life. So I kind of had to learn on how
19:49
to listen and when to do this and when to do this and when to
19:52
respond this and when to respond this and body language, you
19:56
know, all that stuff matters. I want to ask a three three-part
20:01
question here. Quarter parts, I don't like
20:03
these three-part questions. I'd up it from Josh.
20:06
You did two-part questions. But the.
20:08
Quarterback you'd like to sack the most, the running back you
20:10
would like to tackle the most, and the offensive lineman you
20:12
would like to face the most in the NFL.
20:15
If I had to pick quarterback, it would be definitely Patrick
20:18
Mahomes running back. It would definitely be.
20:25
I like to tell her, so I'll say Derek Henry.
20:26
Honestly, I like Derek Henry. You want to hit Derek Henry out
20:31
of all the running backs? You can take him down.
20:34
You want to hit Derek Henry? He wants to start with the
20:37
challenge. I just I'd rather get that wake
20:39
up call now than later. That's a wake up call, let me
20:42
tell you. I mean, there's like a train
20:43
coming down that's. Listen, you got, you got.
20:46
I weighted. 330 LB man in front of you that's going to give you
20:50
all the wake up calls you need. Don't worry about getting when
20:54
you get to him, that's going to be the easy part.
20:58
For sure, but if I had to pick online, it would definitely be
21:03
the Eagles. That's like they have the best
21:05
online in the league. Thank you I.
21:07
Thought you might would have, said Trent Williams.
21:08
And he was. He was going for all the heavy
21:10
hitters. I mean, yeah, I mean.
21:12
Even if he comes. Back this.
21:14
Year. I mean, yeah.
21:16
I mean, yeah. I got a cool question for you,
21:19
Jelani. And by the way, we are talking
21:21
in 2026 NFL draft prospect Kent State defensive lineman Jelani
21:24
Davis. Johnny, if I had a a box of
21:28
pizza with your favorite topping in the middle of the field and I
21:31
had a nice juicy Turkey that just came out of the oven and
21:35
you had to run from to one or the other and you need to get it
21:39
before everybody else does, which do you want to go after?
21:43
The box of whatever topping of pizza you want or that nice
21:48
juicy Turkey? And why pizza?
21:53
A pizza box for sure, just because you got my favorite
21:55
carbon on. How do you compare pizza in a
21:59
Turkey? Who doesn't like Turkey
22:01
Thanksgiving? Nobody's running a Turkey.
22:03
I'm running a Turkey. I'd rather eat the Turkey than
22:07
I. Also, it's November.
22:08
You can always have pizza. You know what always can get?
22:11
Turkey. I mean, I'm going after the
22:14
Turk. I'll pull on that Turkey.
22:17
I'll pull on. Turkey you don't like pull on.
22:19
Turkey you don't like pulling on that nice beautiful, meaty
22:23
compression? Thanksgiving in my mouth, hey.
22:26
Yo, that's crazy. Well, somebody, well, you know
22:37
what I'm trying, I'm trying to open up Quinton Couples.
22:41
You know, there's not like a Pandora box.
22:44
It's like a box and it has like 1,000,000 locks on it.
22:47
And I'm just trying to find the right key to open up the right
22:50
part of Quinton Couples, as we call him Q, because sometimes he
22:55
gets a little lost in that conversation just a little bit.
22:59
We're trying to find it. Been flipping them all night.
23:01
So he's, he's having a lot of. Oh, is that what it is?
23:04
He's dealing. With is that what it is all
23:06
right? From earlier today.
23:08
All right, my, here's the last question, Jelani, because I know
23:10
you're you're getting ready to jump on a plane, go to Saint
23:13
Louis. All right, now this this is a
23:15
great one. And by the way, everybody who
23:17
doesn't know who we're speaking to, I'm just going to throw it
23:19
out one more time. 2026 NFL draft prospect Ken State,
23:23
defensive lineman Jelani Davis. Here's here's a great question.
23:28
All right, you're hanging out and you're listening to a track
23:33
that's going to pump you up. OK, Either you want to knock
23:36
somebody's head off or you want to run into a wall.
23:39
What track are you listening to to get you hyped up to kill
23:44
somebody? Come on, man, give me a good
23:51
one. None of this little Wayne crap
23:53
or Drake. I want to.
23:54
I want something that's going to pop me up.
23:56
I want to RIP their freaking heads off.
23:59
Let's go. Good question.
24:05
I don't want to say like, I want to say NBA young boy, but then I
24:09
don't want to say NBA young boy. There's a lot to go I.
24:13
Have to pick the NBA young boy song Games of War for sure.
24:18
His his master. His master album that he dropped
24:22
like a few months back. OK I would definitely pick that.
24:29
I don't know. Come on man, I got.
24:34
I got one for you. I got one for you before you
24:35
know. Young, I mean, I I'd be turning
24:37
all the different. Tracks.
24:38
I got one for you before we let you go and I want you to finish
24:41
it for me. You don't want to go.
24:47
You don't want to go. To war please don't sing come on
24:53
please don't sing this guy well we know Quinn couples could
24:59
never go on American Idol or the.
25:07
It's all right. Jelani's probably going to be on
25:09
that plane. He's going to be like.
25:10
He's going to be thinking about it.
25:11
What the hell? Was he singing?
25:13
It's crazy because he got me stuck right now.
25:15
I'm thinking about it now. I'm stuck.
25:16
I'm stuck too, and I don't want to think about it.
25:23
Oh, man. Jelani, you're sensational.
25:26
Keep up. Keep smiling, man.
25:29
You, you have to smile. This is a great time for you.
25:31
I mean, Quinton, all he does is smile And and I even smile when
25:34
Quinton's always wrong. You know, I, I smile a lot of
25:36
time when he's wrong. So there's something, there's
25:39
something to smile about every time he's wrong.
25:41
I just smile. You know, it's great.
25:43
It's a great thing to hear. But listen, you're a great young
25:47
kid. I want you to do nothing, but I
25:50
want you to play at a high level.
25:51
I want you to to be in position to go to a right organization so
25:54
you can grow and become the player that you want to be.
25:57
And maybe an Aaron Donald. How how would that be?
26:00
I mean, we interviewed Jelani Davis and he's the next Aaron
26:04
Donald in the NFL. That would be a great story.
26:06
Wouldn't that be? It's possible.
26:09
I mean, I'd love to see it. I mean, I want to see you kick
26:11
the hell out of somebody on that football field.
26:13
And let let me tell you something, I'm going to give you
26:15
some advice. Out of all the running backs in
26:18
the NFL, you don't want to hit first.
26:20
You do not want to hit Derrick Henry first.
26:22
I'm just runner backs. Are easy bro.
26:25
Don't, don't, don't. He's a media.
26:30
He's a media guy you don't want to you.
26:32
Do not want to run into that chainsaw.
26:35
Back as a secondary, they don't want no smoke with the D.
26:37
Line July, July The guy he really wants you to take down is
26:40
Travis Hunter. That's, well, that's that's a
26:42
wide receiver. That's the you could go on a
26:44
receiver reverse. I mean, at any point if you want
26:47
to hit him, I'd give you a couple of 100 bucks if you want.
26:49
To. Close on that MO.
26:51
Pull up on you. Dude, you think I'm afraid?
26:56
Do you think I'm afraid of Travis the Gremlin Hunter?
26:59
Do you really think you obviously don't know me?
27:02
You do not know me. I play with him at at Jackson
27:06
State. He is a dog.
27:07
He is a. Dog, I'm a dog.
27:09
I'm a dog. I can I, I bite your head off.
27:14
Anyways, Jelani, Jelani, we love you.
27:17
Keep up the good work. You know, and and I I know
27:20
you're friends with Nathan. Nathan is a good kid.
27:22
Tell him to stop wearing that blue blazer.
27:25
Keep that blue blazer away from him.
27:29
Take that. What?
27:30
Let's sell that blue blazer. Let's get rid of that Dick.
27:33
I mean, it's it's one of the ugliest I've ever seen anybody
27:35
wear. How does a guy wear a blue
27:37
blazer and a red polo and camouflage pants?
27:41
How does that work? You've seen this guy, the way he
27:43
dresses. We got to help him out.
27:44
Got to help this kid out. I got him.
27:47
You got him all right. Tell me what you would get him.
27:49
But first of all, I before we let you go, if you were to pick
27:52
out a nice unique thing to stand out for, for nothing to go out
27:57
in the public, go out to the draft this year, what would it
28:00
be? I.
28:01
Don't know, I might give him a Nike tech just to start.
28:04
Off. I like that, all right.
28:07
I like that I. Like that, All right, it's.
28:09
A start, you know what I'm saying?
28:10
Just a start. I think it's the warm up then.
28:12
We go to, then we go to khakis to polo shirt.
28:15
All right. Then.
28:18
We go to there. No moccasins, none of those.
28:22
I mean, I think moccasins because.
28:24
I'm not educated on that one. Yet no, no moccasins.
28:26
I mean, niffens one of the he likes the open toes.
28:29
He likes going out in the open toes.
28:31
He likes that air hitting his toes.
28:33
He loves the air hitting his toes, right, Nathan?
28:35
I know he's in the back there. He knows it.
28:38
And by the way, Nathan needs some style too in the back.
28:41
I mean, he looks like he's in a jail cell.
28:42
He has no pictures in his house. I mean, he's got nothing to look
28:46
at. There's nothing to look at.
28:48
It's just Nathan right there on a bare ass wall.
28:51
Thank you, Jelani. Thank you man for your time man.
28:53
Appreciate you coming through for.
28:55
Having me for real. Jelani, you're, you're
28:57
absolutely fantastic. Thank you for joining us.
28:59
And when when you get drafted, we'll get you on the show.
29:02
We'd like to hear your take on wherever you go and keep up the
29:05
good work and keep working, man. I appreciate you.
29:09
Guys all righty bro all. Right.
29:11
Jelani Davis, ladies and gentlemen.
29:13
Ken State, defensive lineman, young and improved.
29:18
I'm trying to open up the kid. I mean, people have to
29:20
understand something. I don't know if anybody
29:22
understands how to interview people when people have nothing
29:25
to say. You got to bring it out of them.
29:27
You got to draw it out of them. It's like, it's like pulling a
29:31
spleen out of, I don't know if you can do that, but I mean
29:34
something, you got to pull something out.
29:35
I mean, Speedy, like if you want to give Speedy a wedgie, you
29:38
pull out his underwear. You know those those kind of
29:40
things, right? Speedy, you're old.
29:41
No wedgies. No, I'm a freaking 13 year old
29:44
kid. Has anybody given you a wedgie?
29:46
No, Nobody's giving you a wedge. No.
29:48
How about like an early early bird special?
29:51
Have you ever gotten one of those?
29:53
No, you've never had an early bird special.
29:55
Nobody's ever given you. No, I figured I I mean, it's who
29:58
would give Speedy an early bird special?
30:01
I mean, somebody needs to hide from this guy if he's never had
30:04
an early bird special. I mean, serious.
30:06
Somebody needs to shave that. Anyways, that was Jelani Davis.
30:10
It was sensational. And we do have to go to inside
30:13
baseball. Now let's go deep, deep inside.
30:16
What I am excited. This is inside baseball.
30:21
And let's start with the Yankees sweeping the Giant to start the
30:26
season. So just going through the
30:28
Yankees get all three of those games.
30:30
We've got game one freed on Friday.
30:34
I'm sorry, on Wednesday night. We already talked about it.
30:36
Pam Schlittler 3, nothing win Game 28, strikeouts and then
30:42
Game 3, Aaron Judge hit his second home run in two straight
30:45
games, and he hit an ambulance out in left field.
30:48
Another easy 31 win the pitching one run in those three games to
30:54
start. I love what I've seen with the
30:56
pitching. We, we expected the pitching to
30:57
be elite. Rodon we haven't seen yet and
31:00
we're going to see this pitching staff really become elite when
31:03
Garrett Cole gets gets in this rotation probably around June,
31:07
mid June. I expect the Yankees to be one
31:09
of the best pitching Staffs in baseball.
31:11
Top three, maybe top four depending on how everything
31:14
falls. Schliedler was the most
31:15
impressive out of all of them, five and and a half innings he
31:19
played, he pitched very well, 8 strikeouts.
31:21
And, and I I'll say this, the Giants roster and their the
31:25
lineup is not the greatest, but this is a Major League roster
31:28
and, and how dominant he looked in five innings was very
31:31
impressive. And we've seen enough of
31:33
Schlittler last year, especially in the playoffs, what he did to
31:36
the Red Sox to know that this guy has the stuff to be a number
31:39
one and #2 on this rotation and, and Max Freed is sensational.
31:43
And the one thing that scares me right now is Aaron Judge.
31:47
I know he had two home runs, but throughout this, this series, he
31:50
was not hitting over 200. It, it was very scary.
31:54
And I know it's early and I expect Aaron Judge to pick up
31:57
and I, I expect him to hit over 50 home runs if he's healthy and
32:00
he's, he plays over 150 games like he did last year.
32:03
I expect Aaron Judge to have over 100 and 15120 RBI's and I
32:08
expect him to be up for an MVP. It's just alarming that he had 4
32:11
strikeouts and, and he was over 5 in the first game and he's
32:15
been playing catch up really throughout the first three
32:17
games. Giancarlo Stand is hot.
32:19
I I love what I see with him. He's proving that his elbows as
32:23
as of right now is not going to be a problem.
32:25
And the lineup is hitting. They're hitting consistently and
32:28
that's what we want to see. But again, it's early.
32:30
It's only three games in, but it's impressive what we've seen
32:32
with the New York Yankees, yeah. Historic marks for the pitching
32:35
so far and you mentioned Schletler being the most
32:36
impressive. I definitely agree with that.
32:37
His cutter is really entering another dimension to you're
32:40
seeing some of these other off speed pitches really getting and
32:42
going. That's how you want to develop
32:43
as a pitcher. Like, you can throw hard all you
32:45
want, you can dominate in a small sample size all you want,
32:47
but you want to be able to develop that secondary stuff.
32:50
That was why we're talking. We'll talk about the Mets in a
32:52
bit. And Nolan McLean was getting a
32:53
lot of hype in the World Baseball classes.
32:55
He had five pitches that were being used and even skeins using
32:57
5 pitches. That's the next level that
33:00
Schlittler is going to do to be just as good as them possibly
33:02
down the road. And like you said, Freed.
33:04
I think he's better than he possibly could be.
33:06
You're going to say that Schlittler, after his first
33:08
game, didn't look better than all the pitches the Mets had
33:10
out? Oh, absolutely.
33:11
And I mean, he was unbelievable. And you get another level.
33:14
Obviously with Max Free, he's going to have to pitch extra
33:17
burden when other guys are hurt right now, but that's all.
33:20
Obviously a very good start to the season and that lineup,
33:22
yeah, Judge is concerning, but he got he's a small start.
33:24
The only thing we worry about Max Freed is his blisters.
33:26
Sure, as long as the blister situation doesn't hurt him this
33:30
year. Max Fried is going to be an
33:31
elite pitcher. And could you imagine when
33:33
Garrett Cole comes back? Think about this.
33:35
Garrett Cole is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
33:37
He's been out for a year and 1/2 he comes back.
33:40
He doesn't have to be the number one guy anymore.
33:42
He could be the number three guy.
33:43
Garrett Cole is your number three guy.
33:45
I mean, you're talking about the best rotation in baseball, so
33:49
there's nothing to complain about what we've seen and what
33:51
we're watching with the New York Yankees as long as it is
33:54
consistent and we expect them to be consistent all season long.
33:58
Yeah. So just to add on to it, there
34:00
is one thing that's like an elephant in the room and it's
34:03
Spencer Jones. Spencer Jones hit a 109.1 mile
34:08
an hour home run the other day at AAA Scranton.
34:11
Wilkes Barre. He's down there with Jason
34:14
Dominguez, who's getting regular playing time because his defense
34:16
wasn't good enough. Errol.
34:19
I mean, the Yankees can go undefeated all they want, but
34:22
they got, it appears, another legit bat just sitting there
34:26
waiting to come. Come on, guys, everybody wants
34:29
it. Quentin likes to put his hands
34:30
up. I was right.
34:31
I was right. Well, I'm going to tell you what
34:33
I am right about Spencer Jones. I I told people years ago when
34:38
they drafted him in the first round.
34:39
I don't know if he's Aaron Judge, but his ability to be a
34:43
512 player, he can steal, he can play multiple positions in the
34:47
outfield. He can even possibly play first
34:50
base. He's got an unbelievable arm in
34:53
the outfield and he's got power, power all over Yankee Stadium.
34:57
His bat fits Yankee Stadium now. He's hitting like Otani, his
35:00
swings like Otani. He's he's really just power
35:04
batting the ball all over the place.
35:06
There is no way Brian Cashman is going to keep him out of this
35:08
lineup as the as the season moves forward.
35:11
This guy is an elite player and he could win rookie of the year
35:14
this year. I told Fish, and I'm telling you
35:17
guys, if he gets cold up in the next two or three weeks and he
35:20
gets a chance to play in this lineup, I believe this guy could
35:23
be the rookie of the year for the New York Yankees and
35:25
throughout the league. He is special.
35:27
I've said it and I'll say it again.
35:29
Book it, seal it and whatever you want to do.
35:31
If you want to beat somebody up with Soap, and I sometimes want
35:34
to do that to Speedy, I absolutely believe that Spencer
35:38
Jones is the guy. You know, it's interesting is
35:41
he's blocked by a couple of major leaguers and Qi know you
35:45
told you told us when you followed your career, you were
35:48
on a really stacked D line. And they try, they kind of try
35:51
to put you out of position a little bit.
35:53
I was wondering if you can kind of relate to the issues of this
35:56
guy who's clearly like ready for the big time and they're just
35:59
kind of holding them back. Yeah, that's that's something
36:02
that coaches do. They make they try to make these
36:05
game time decisions or these decisions when they feel like
36:07
it's necessary. But just listen to you guys and
36:11
watching the kid, I think he has an opportunity like Errol said,
36:14
to be special. But if he's down there and he's
36:17
not into this lineup soon, you know, that can weigh in on him.
36:20
You know, being able to be that good at that level and be elite
36:24
talent and not being able to showcase it.
36:26
You can start creeping into his head that is not good enough.
36:29
And that could slow his speed up, his speed down from where he
36:31
going. I will also say something about
36:33
Spencer Jones that I've learned about him over the last couple
36:35
years. A lot of people have thrown him
36:37
out. A lot of people have given up on
36:40
him. As a matter of fact, Yankee fans
36:41
were like, we'll trade him for him, We'll trade him for that
36:44
person, We'll trade him for that person.
36:45
Now all of a sudden, the Yankee fans see what type of special
36:48
player he is and we're like, we got to call him up, we got to
36:51
get him up, we got to see what he could do, blah, blah, blah,
36:53
blah, blah, blah. That's all it is.
36:55
And I'm going to tell you guys this right now.
36:57
If you're a Yankee fan and you want to see Spencer Jones,
37:00
you're going to get a chance to see him very, very soon because
37:02
there's no way in hell Brian Cashman is going to keep him out
37:05
of the league. And he's 24 years old.
37:07
Aaron Judge came up in his rookie season in the middle of
37:11
the season at 24 and the year after he was rookie of the year,
37:14
almost won the MVP at fifty home runs.
37:16
I'm telling you right now, this kid is not Aaron Judge, but he's
37:21
a guy that I could see forty home runs, 100 RB is he's going
37:25
to give you a steady outfield glove and an unbelievable and he
37:28
could steal 2530 bases for his guy.
37:31
For a guy his size, this guy's 6 foot seven.
37:33
He has the speed of a Jacoby Ellsbury.
37:36
That's how fast this kid is. He's fun to watch, I'm telling
37:39
you. All right, let's move to the
37:41
other team in the city and talk about the Mets.
37:44
They started off with taking two of three from the Pirates.
37:47
They blew Sunday's game in. Ex Make her squirt, make me
37:50
jerk. Well, I guess that's what they
37:53
did. We do know that Nathan has
37:54
Stearns on a leash at as we know, but it didn't work out so
37:58
well. Already a couple of issues.
38:01
Athletes. Yeah, the athletes are
38:04
struggling. Beau Bichette getting booed at
38:06
home already, One for 14 with an error in the field.
38:11
Jorge, they said tonight he like kind of grounded over a couple
38:14
of balls that he usually drives. Jorge Polanco, your first
38:18
baseman, is already an exclusive DH playing through an Achilles
38:23
issue. They gave Robert a day off
38:26
trying to keep him healthy. And they put Beatty in the
38:28
outfield tonight, guys. So Beatty is now going to have
38:32
eligibility, probably at every position in fantasy.
38:35
I will tell you about Beau Bashet.
38:36
I've told everybody when you move a guy out of position to
38:40
start a season, it's going to throw him off.
38:42
It's going to throw his bat off. And that's what you're seeing
38:44
right now with Bo Bouchette. And now the fans are booing him.
38:47
So we've seen this before with New York fans.
38:49
We've seen it with the Yankees and we've seen it with the Mets.
38:51
It doesn't bold. Well, now Bo Bouchette, it's
38:53
still early in the season. He's going to find a way to get
38:56
back into the fans good graces, but this is not a good sign.
39:00
As far as Jorge Polanco, it made no sense.
39:03
David Stearns bringing him in and giving him an extension or
39:06
giving him a two year deal. It made no sense why they did
39:08
it. I understand that you're trying
39:10
to spots and they lost Pete Alonso.
39:13
You wanted to add more power into the lineup because this guy
39:15
had 20 something home runs. This isn't Pete Alonso and he's
39:18
not a first baseman, so you're putting him at first base makes
39:22
no sense. And now he's a designated hitter
39:25
with an Achilles problem. David Stearns right now is right
39:29
now on the hot seat. I'm telling you right now,
39:31
everybody keeps talking. Everybody keeps talking about
39:33
Mendoza. Oh, he's a bad manager, he's a
39:36
bad dad. He's a bad dad, He's a bad dad.
39:38
How about the GM? What the hell has he done right?
39:41
Why? The only thing that's hiding
39:42
right now is some of the players that weren't supposed to start
39:46
off this season strong that are playing OK and and they're two
39:50
and one, so nobody's complaining about it.
39:52
But if you're a Mets fan, you can't be excited to see what
39:55
this team is is putting out there early in the season.
39:59
Yeah, I think there's other concerns with how long these
40:01
games have gone. So you don't ever want to wear
40:03
out a bullpen this early in the season either, especially
40:04
because the Pirates, I know the Pirates offense is supposed to
40:07
be better on paper this year than it was last year, but
40:09
still, you're going to have to go in all these extra inning
40:11
games. You had the high scoring game,
40:13
that Opening Day game and then two back-to-back low scoring
40:15
games. The starting pitching is doing
40:16
enough and they're getting worn out.
40:18
They're winning still most of the games besides yesterday, but
40:20
still. How about your race?
40:22
How about Perolta not pitching well in his first game?
40:24
Yeah, that's alarming. I was referring with the.
40:26
Other two games. Yeah, I'm just saying that's
40:27
alarming. You traded away 2 top prospects
40:30
and his first game with the New York Mets was not a good one.
40:34
No, the other two, the other two games had good starting pitch.
40:36
He just had long enough bullpens and then the offense
40:38
disappeared. And yeah, Bichette's been a big
40:40
problem. He had the SAC fly in that first
40:42
game, but besides that, it was really not look good at all.
40:44
Polanco, yeah, they're going to have to kind of be a platoon
40:46
roll with him essentially with playing matchups with the DH was
40:49
going to be hard enough to do as it is.
40:50
And hopefully he could transition back to defense if
40:53
there is other issues with injuries in the infield because
40:55
Bichette is in addition to struggling, he's also an injury
40:58
prone player too. And you wonder with some of
40:59
these older guys if they're going to be able to hold up.
41:02
You ever wonder sometimes about guys that are these GMs and they
41:08
put together these super teams on paper queue.
41:10
I, I've remembered like the Cowboys, the Eagles had that
41:13
dream team that one year that was garbage, you know, and I
41:17
loved, you know, they fell apart right away.
41:19
Dream on, Team Fish. The Dream On team, yeah.
41:22
You know, listen, I can't but too much pry with the Eagles.
41:25
They've won recently, but I'll say this like I really think
41:30
Stearns is getting. Exposed.
41:33
How do you feel about some of those GM's that have these paper
41:36
championships? It's stacked in a lot of times
41:39
when people don't realize they're professional sports.
41:41
It's about putting people in the right position so they can
41:44
actually flourish and putting and building chemistry on much
41:48
superstars versus just getting a bunch of talent and throwing it
41:52
on the field and expecting it to come with results.
41:55
So a lot of times guys with greater talent comes with ego as
41:59
well. So you got to be able to manage
42:00
that. You got to be able to manage the
42:01
talent you got to make. That ain't work.
42:03
It's not just throwing eggs and powder in the bowl and said I'm
42:05
going to make a cake. Like there's other things that
42:07
you got to add to it. There's more nutrients, there's
42:09
vanilla, there's all kinds of things that you got to add to it
42:12
and make perfect cake or to bring it to fruition.
42:16
So I think that, you know, putting, putting all the talent
42:18
on the same roster, it has its benefits, but if it doesn't gel,
42:22
if it doesn't mess, there's no chemistry.
42:25
I'm hungry. I haven't eaten all day because
42:27
I'm getting a colonoscopy and you're going to mention cake.
42:31
Thank you, Quentin. Thank you.
42:33
Thank you. That's what we'll give you when
42:35
you after you get finished getting your.
42:36
Dude I've been on the bowl all show already.
42:39
Every time we go to I'm running to the bathroom.
42:41
I got to drink that orange crap before I go for a colonoscopy.
42:45
My stomach is growling right now as we speak.
42:48
I had a nice strip steak. Sucks for you.
42:52
Let's move on to Steve Kerr. Yes, Steve Kerr talking about
42:57
baseball. Errol, get this.
42:59
I know you haven't seen this one.
43:00
Steve Kerr wrote a letter to the Blue Jays manager John
43:04
Schneider, telling him just what a wonderful job he did for the
43:09
game of baseball, managing against that juggernaut Dodgers
43:13
in the World Series last year. Just praising him.
43:17
And you know, Schneider, he saw the letter and he read it.
43:20
He was like, I was like, holy SI, don't know you, Kerr wrote.
43:24
But I felt compelled to reach out after watching your
43:27
incredible leadership on display during the World Series.
43:31
As you know, Kerr then compared to when they lost to the Cavs in
43:34
2016, The pain in 2016 was real. But what always survives through
43:39
the tough losses is the character and connection of the
43:42
group. The loss won't define you, but
43:44
the way you and your guys carry themselves afterwards will.
43:48
Snyder got an extension for two years after this season,
43:52
Schneider said. It was the message we've been
43:54
preaching all offseason and spring.
43:56
The run was great and the heartbreak was real, but it's
43:58
not going to define who we are. We all went through it together.
44:00
What we're going to be defined by is how we persevere through
44:05
it. Blue Jays undefeated to start
44:07
the season. How?
44:08
How real are they with this apparently getting the vote of
44:13
confidence coach from future Hall of Famer Steve Kerr?
44:17
Whoop Dee Doo and and honestly, I could care less what Steve
44:22
Kerr is writing to a baseball, GM, manager, or whoever.
44:28
I could careless what Steve Kerr has to say about the Blue Jays.
44:31
The Blue Jays didn't win. They didn't win.
44:35
So you're you're giving them all the compliments in the world.
44:38
Oh, you were so amazing. Oh, by the way, you, you choked
44:41
in the World Series. You were up 32 and you choked
44:44
against the Dodgers, the deferred Dodgers.
44:46
Are you kidding me, Steve? I What are you trying to sell to
44:49
me here? What are you trying to sell to
44:51
me? Here's what I'm going to sell.
44:53
Schneider has done a decent job. The Blue Jays are not winning
44:57
the division this year. They're not.
44:59
And here's the facts. What I have seen the Blue Jays
45:02
do year in and year out, they bring players.
45:04
They spend money on players and they throw money out there and
45:07
it never sticks. You know what reminds me of what
45:10
it's been reminded me of the Golden State Warriors over the
45:13
last couple of years? They bring this guy and Butler.
45:16
They bring this guy. They trade this guy.
45:18
It never works. Steve, retire.
45:21
Please retire. I don't need him writing to any
45:24
baseball manager or coach or GM how great an organization is
45:29
because they lost in the World Series.
45:31
Yeah, You're also judging a case of there's other teams in the
45:34
past that have beaten them in the playoffs.
45:35
Yeah, they weren't as loaded as maybe they were last year.
45:37
But you're going to go write a letter to the Padres and the
45:40
Diamondbacks and all the other teams that beat the Dodgers in
45:42
the playoffs previously? Like, who cares?
45:45
Like, why are you just signaling out the Blue Jays?
45:46
They didn't win. Make these shenanigan.
45:49
You never won. It doesn't matter.
45:51
Oh, you're great. You're sensational, but you
45:53
lost. Yeah, great.
45:55
You don't win. It doesn't matter.
45:56
As as everybody says, winning only counts in first, not 2nd.
46:02
And that's what the Blue Jays were.
46:03
That's all I'm going to say. Sail a whale, sail away.
46:07
And by the way, Steve Kerr complaining about how many games
46:10
and how many practices he doesn't have and blah, blah,
46:12
blah, because his team stinks now.
46:14
So it's not about winning anymore.
46:16
It's about making sure that his team is rested, highly rested.
46:19
Please stop selling me something that doesn't make any sense.
46:24
He does have Drake Mondo. Yeah.
46:26
Errol's other favorite? A guy that likes taking a
46:27
picture of his watch and putting on Snapchat.
46:30
I don't know how you can get ejected when there's robots
46:34
calling it, but it happened already.
46:37
Twins manager? Was it Shelton?
46:40
Is it not Blake? Derek Shelton.
46:42
Derek Shelton. Blake Shelton was ejected on
46:48
Sunday for our becoming the first manager in baseball
46:52
history to be tossed for disputing the ABS challenge
46:56
system. So the Orioles were trying to
46:59
close out the game. Josh Bell, batting for the
47:01
Twins, was walked on a three two pitch.
47:04
But Helsley the closer. Yes, for former Mets.
47:08
Believer. Mets legend.
47:09
Brian Helsley. S hits the head S for the
47:12
challenge and it gets called strike three.
47:16
He clips the zone. Shelton runs out to argue that
47:20
Hellesley didn't initiate the challenge quickly enough, saying
47:23
he must have challenged within around 3 seconds without getting
47:28
assistance from the dugout as he went nuts.
47:31
Laz Diaz and Chris Siegel threw his ass out.
47:37
Here, here's the facts. These rule changes and what Rob
47:41
Manfred, as Jabba would say, thinks that baseball needs to
47:45
transition into is a bunch of crap.
47:47
We've never had this. You cannot challenge a walk.
47:50
You can't challenge a strike out.
47:52
The fact that they're doing this now makes no sense.
47:55
It doesn't help baseball. You're trying to speed the game
47:57
up. Why the hell are you trying to
47:59
slow it down with these new rules?
48:01
It makes no sense. It's complete rubbish.
48:05
Stupidity, Rob. Retire everybody.
48:08
Retire Steve Kerr, Retire Rob. They can go out and play golf
48:11
together. It's pathetic.
48:13
I don't. I don't like it.
48:13
I don't like these new rules. It makes no sense.
48:16
Fish, I do appreciate the Derek Stolton publicity sign.
48:18
Now that you mentioned that it was Latz Diaz and Ryan Helsley
48:21
evolved too. I would like to challenge them
48:22
to make those two team look stupid, but they look stupid in
48:25
their own right because you're not going to win a robot at
48:26
umpire debates. I just don't understand how you
48:30
can even attempt this one though.
48:31
Speedy like it's a robot. You put it in.
48:34
Twitch aren't going to do anything anyway this year
48:36
anyway. I mean, to have the nerve to say
48:39
you didn't challenge fast enough, I that's just crazy.
48:41
This shouldn't be a robot. I mean, umpires, this has been
48:44
around for over 100 a hundred years.
48:46
Why are we changing the game? Why does this make sense?
48:49
And you're trying to find ways to speed up the game.
48:52
This slows the game down. It slows the game down when
48:55
you're challenging things like this.
48:57
Maybe in the playoffs. If you want to add this in the
48:59
playoffs, that would make sense. This doesn't.
49:01
It doesn't make any sense. Let's go to the last one, guys.
49:04
We got one more left going right to it and it's some rookies to
49:09
take a look at Errol. I'm going to just try to get a
49:12
jump on the rest of sports media right now and tell you who you
49:15
should be watching in Major League Baseball.
49:18
Just coming into the league, there's two guys that have four
49:20
home runs in three games, Jase the Lauder for the Guardians and
49:25
Munateka Murakami the Japanese. Import.
49:30
For the White Sox, then you got second baseman JJ Weatherholtz.
49:36
For the Saint Louis Cardinals, he's already there lead off
49:38
hitter. He looks awesome.
49:40
And also speedy shortstopper second for Mcgonigal, shortstop
49:45
Mcgonigal is everyone's been talking about.
49:48
He was the guy that was the top guy coming into the league, into
49:52
the the top prospect coming into the season.
49:54
They all are guys to watch. Speedy was talking specifically
49:58
about the Lauder as the guy he thought was going to be the top
50:01
rookie this year. The Lauder looks like he's going
50:04
to be special Murakami. He's got a wonderful name.
50:08
Let me tell you. It's definitely it's right off
50:10
the lips if you want to sound it out on that one.
50:13
But MC Monaco, whatever mechanical it reminds me two of
50:17
MC Monaco over there at WFAN. So I don't like him already.
50:21
I don't like him because of his last name, but I I the Lauder
50:25
sounds like sounds like a like Estee Lauder.
50:27
So if if you like, if you like makeup, if you like makeup and
50:32
you like the Lauder, go get yourself some Estee Lauder.
50:35
What do you think, Speedy? I thought that's goody on that
50:37
one, yeah. I think.
50:38
He'll he's the expert on more of that stuff and on his prospects.
50:42
Listen, we don't know what these guys are going to be and, and
50:44
right now it's early. We have to see how the game
50:47
picks up and it's early in the season.
50:49
Pitching it takes, it takes a while for these pitchers to warm
50:52
up and gets warmer. Once it gets warmer, we're going
50:54
to see these pitchers really play at a high level.
50:57
Then we'll see how these guys can hit the ball and how they
51:00
can compete against these top rotational pitchers.
51:03
I was mentioning the Lauder last year when you and I had a
51:05
three-way call with Goody as like some of the Guardians
51:07
prospects they could call up and I thought he was one of them
51:09
that could have given a spark in the second-half of the season.
51:11
Obviously before we knew that they were to be hot, as it was
51:13
following the whole class of. Trot, right, speedy, hot to
51:15
trot. I have no idea.
51:17
Are you trotting Nathans department?
51:18
Are you hanging, Nathans? Department, are you hanging?
51:20
Nathan. I'm not talking about Nathan.
51:22
Are you hanging? I don't know.
51:23
Are you trotting from the from your ass to your nose down?
51:26
No, no. All right.
51:27
I'm just asking. Yeah, De la de Lauder always had
51:29
that kind of raw power ability, especially in that big park.
51:32
Somebody that something they definitely need to go along with
51:34
Ramirez and I think the Kidman Zardo too, that I think I'll
51:36
have a. Bigger.
51:36
You want to hang out with the Lauder's daughter?
51:38
No, All right. I'm just.
51:39
Asking Weatherholt was one that had a lot of hype last year too.
51:42
Him being a lead off spot already, me showing he could
51:45
transition easily. Mcgonigal, I wasn't as high as
51:48
the number one prospect as people thought, but again,
51:49
another spark for the Tigers in that lineup.
51:51
For a lot of veteran guys, a lot of younger in the infield.
51:54
I think he's going to. Get I want you to roll that off
51:56
your tongue. I want you to pronounce the
51:58
Japanese kids name. Murakami, Murakami.
52:01
Murakami. Murakami.
52:02
No, no, no. I want a full name.
52:03
Full name, full name. Good.
52:04
See it full name. Minneteka.
52:06
Minneteka Murakami. Say it three times in a second.
52:09
Murakami, Minneteka Murakami. Minneteka Murakami.
52:11
All right, I like that. And he's providing one of the
52:13
few sparks that the White Sox in India throughout the year
52:15
getting something to watch Marakami, something a reason to
52:17
go to the ballpark outside of those giant shakes that they
52:19
have. That's how it looks like.
52:20
Like a sex move. Maracami.
52:22
Who wants to do a maracami on me?
52:24
I guess Speedy is drinking the Kool-aid on the Lauder.
52:28
The Lauder's thought. Right, one of the best.
52:31
If you win, voice of reason. Estee Lauder.
52:37
Outside of you picky Arizona. Regardless, well, we'll see
52:40
about that. We'll talk about more of that on
52:42
Thursday, Speedy, as far as our final four picks, but just to
52:46
finish this one up, you got these rookies, they're all high
52:48
profile rookies. How hard is it as a high profile
52:51
rookie to make an impact? Because everybody's looking at
52:54
you come on, and you're the guy. Everyone heard your name all
52:58
offseason. What's it like?
53:00
Do you want to jerk me off? It's difficult, you know,
53:03
because at the end of the day, you're stepping into a new
53:06
arena. You're in the big leagues now,
53:07
in the majors. You got to try to win the locker
53:09
room, you got to win the guys on the team.
53:12
You got to win the veterans, you got to win the coaches.
53:14
Like it's so much. It's a lot that goes into, you
53:17
know, being a successful rookie and sometimes talent ain't
53:19
enough. So it's a lot of pressure that
53:21
they go into each and every game.
53:22
You got to prove yourself. You got to live up to the hype.
53:25
Even if you know circumstances or conditions isn't organized
53:28
around you, you know, it is that nature.
53:30
