• 1:23
  Speaker 3: come back on the air with Baseball underway without having
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: my friend Dale Murphy join us. He's actually in Atlanta
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: because he's like the most popular Brave of all time.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Brave fans love to have him back a truest park,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and he'll be there for the Royals and the Braves tonight.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Burph, how are you do?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Great, Ryles?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Opening Day, opening week, whatever you want to call.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It's a great time of year.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you're right. Would we have one day? I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: got a couple of thoughts when.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: We had one day.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: First of all, it should be a national holiday one day.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But the other thing is, interestingly enough, remember when the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds had the honorary first game of the year.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: They always had to play first because they were the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: first professional organization.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I'm it's my recollections, right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I got to play in that game a couple of times,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the very first, and it was kind of a it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was kind of a cool thing. One night, one day,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we had a twelve noon start and you know, no
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: internet or anything like that, and Al Raboski gave up
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a grand slam to Dave stepsion In like in in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the night or maybe the bottom of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: they eight, to put him ahead. The next day, Hungo
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: comes to the ballpark. He goes, You'll never believe what happened.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: My wife called me about six o'clock yesterday and wished
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: me good luck tonight.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: The mad Hungarian, Al Roboski, he was a Royal for
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a couple of years when I was a kid.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I played with Al for a couple of years
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: here in the Atlanta after those days with the Royals.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: And the Cardinals of course, and great guy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do an event within this summer
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and love to see that guy. He was a lot
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of fun and kind of had that thing going, the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: mad Hungarian. And anyway, yeah, his wife, he goes, honey,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we already played and it didn't work out too good.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Reds had the first The Reds always had
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the first game. It was like new and Eastern time,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and then everybody else would the first pitch late in
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the afternoon or evening, but they always had that first game. Now, whatever,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: baseball is in a good place right now, especially coming
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: out of the WB. I thought the WBC was a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: great advertisement for baseball in general, but a great way.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: To lead into this season.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Did you like the WBC, Murph, Yeah, it was fantastic.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I probably told you this before, but I coached in it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You know, long in the early days, I coached first
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: base and it hadn't hit it stride. It was a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: little tough going. People didn't know what was going and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just getting used to it. And once I think the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: US team USA won a couple or one one at
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: least people start paying attention. Now it's hit its stride.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It's really good. They've done a great job. And then
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you see the passion that these countries have for the game,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and especially Venezuela. I mean, so much going on there,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know. I thought it was a great story. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I heard one story about the manager can't remember his name,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but right when they started having their first workouts, he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: put a box in the middle of the of the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: locker room and it said EGO on it, and he said,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: everybody they checked their ego into this box before you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: go every day, before you go into this out on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the field, because there's not gonna be.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Any egos here. We're in it to win it. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a great story for Venezuela.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I thought so too, and great just great advertisement for baseball.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Leading us into the season.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: But there's big picture issues with baseball right now, Murph.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people worried about labor unrest and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the spending at the top by teams like the Dodge
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and things like that, creating a competitive imbalance. You and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I have talked about this down through the years, back
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: when we used to do the podcast together and stuff too.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: What's a what's a good solution for baseball? I is
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: it a salary cap? Is it a hard salary cap?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I mean what they do now is kind of a
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: pseudo luxury tax. But if you've got money, it doesn't
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: prevent you from spending like the Dodgers do. So give
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: me the Dale Murphy theory on where things stand right
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: now and how baseball can I don't know if you
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: can fix it completely, Dale, but but how you can
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: make it better?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's talk about a cap, there's talk about a floor.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, from a player's perspective, we don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: want a cap.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: But we want a floor, you know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, there's got to be a happy
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: medium somewhere. I'm I'm thinking the game is in such
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a good spot Bill that let's just hope we don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you know, if you know, I'm going to have an
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: optimistic view, which everybody's really worried, but I'm thinking there's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going to be a way to work this out. We've
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: been through a lot of labor strife, We've had twenty
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: some years of no problems. Baseball's in a good position.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: We got superstars, we're international. I think if they moved
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the WBC to the middle of the to the middle
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of the summer, I think that would even get bigger.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of good things happening. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we got expansion as you know, we're looking at getting
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a team there in Utah, and so, man, it's in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: such a good spot. I'm going to start taking a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: little more optimistic view that we may have some problems,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we may miss a little bit, but I'm not going
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to be doom and gloom.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: That some of the people are talking about.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to figure this out somehow, and I can't
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: speak to the exact remedy, but I think with so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: many good things happening and expansion coming, I'm stimistic.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Dale Murphy's with us here on the Bill Riley.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry on the Shad o'condall Show, Old Habits,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Die Hard, Shot o'condle Show. Bill Riley filling in for
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Sean today. Just get in this zone sometimes and you
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: forget so. So Murph, let's hit on that real quick.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I'll get some major League Baseball thoughts. All the momentum
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that you read nationally seems to be trending towards Nashville
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: and Salt Lake as expansion markets. You're part of Big
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: League Utah, and I know that you're one of the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: front facing folks with that. What are you hearing from
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: your friends at the Major League Baseball level? What do
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: people ask you or when they when you run into them?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: What?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: What are the thoughts you know? Have you heard of
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: any setbacks as Utah? Do you feel like still in
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a good position to land an MLB franchise whenever that happens.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, still very optimistic, you know, been at it for
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a few years now, yep, and so you know, initially
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: everybody was like, hey, that's cool. And now it's like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: once you get to know the market, once you could
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: get to know the Miller Group and Big League Utah
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: who's all associated with it, They've established some great relationships
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm thankful to be associated with them. And so
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: everything's positive. Really, I you know, I just I hate to,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know, count the chickens before they hatch. Obviously there's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a there's still some big things to happen. But are
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we on track? Absolutely, we're on track. I think if
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it's a no for Utah, there's gonna be a lot
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of explaining to do that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: We check every box. There's not a.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Box that that we don't check for expansion, uh, ownership,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: especially the group you know, headed by Gail Miller. There's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: just not a box that we don't check. And uh,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it's exciting. I mean, I don't know what else has said.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I just you know, so sooner rather than later. But
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we do have this labor agreement we got to get through.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But everybody to agree to expansion, it's going to take
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: some time. But we're just still work still establishing relationships and.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Construction. I understand it in that area, not for.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The ballpark, but to develop the power district is going forward,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: so very optimistic everybody I talk to.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just leaving that big old donut hole in
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the middle there to stick that stadium in if and
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: when that time comes, all right, do me a favor
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: for just a minute. Take off your big league you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: your big league Utah hat for just a second and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: be just Dale Murphy, baseball guy who reads the room.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: If Nashville and Utah are the two leaders right now,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: is there a market that Utah should be at least
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: a little wary of or concerned because it feels like
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Nashville's a slam dunk in the east. And if this
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: was today, it would be Utah, but it might be
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: a year or eighteen months from now. Is there another
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: market that could maybe push for that out west, your
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: old market of Portland. Is there somebody else that Utah
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: needs to keep.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: An eye on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Uh, they're someone could pop up, but there's no
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: one right now. I don't think there's a better market,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you know, uh that side of Uh, maybe Mississippi's to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to the Mississippi River.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Or the the you know, the Rocky Mountain. But no,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: we're we're you know, obviously important is there. I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: you know, the A's are playing in Sacramento. I don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: think they're that interested.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: No ownership group has popped up, and no city, to me,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is a better market than what we have.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: So I mean, I don't like to.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Sound cocky, uh, you know, and overconfident, but it just,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I think you can objectively.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Look at it. Now, Vegas obviously is going to be there,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: but as you know, you you you've been around, Vegas
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: is a different market.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: It's far enough away it's going to be a great rivalry. Now,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to ask me about realignment.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some exciting things about realignment
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: when the two new teams come in. But I have
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: no idea what that means. But I think it would
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: be cool to well, we'll have thirty two teams. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: think it'll be. I think we're gonna have eight some
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: kind of divisions of four or something, so that'll be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: interesting to see too.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've seen realignment.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Baseball realigned itself a couple of times over the last
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: thirty or forty years. That's not as big a deal.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: It's where you're going to add those markets. I think
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: that as long as you keep some of the traditional
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: rivalries in place, you know, a New York Boston type thing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know, a Chicago Milwaukee thing in the National
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: League perhaps, But anyway, Atlanta Nashville could end up turning
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: out to be a really big rivalry with the proximity
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: and being in the South.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be fun. Obviously, the Braves
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: are going to be a little shall we say, they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to ask for a little bit extra that expansion
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: money if they go to Nashville.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: But I think it's a great market.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I think when you project out, like you say, a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: few decades and fan bases, I think it's going to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: be a.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Tremendous rivalry we need.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I think the Braves could really benefit from a regional
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: rival I don't think they're gonna think the same way
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: as me, but you know, they want that territory. I
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: don't blame them, but I think it's great. I think
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it's great for baseball and great for fans.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: The Braves have owned the South for fifty sixty years.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: So they're not going to give that up without a
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: little bit of a fight for sure. Hey, before I
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: let you go, if it's not the Dodgers in the
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: National League, who is it? Everybody sees the Dodgers as
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the overwhelming favorite.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: But if.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Catastrophe hits, the arms go, whatever it might happen to be.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Who's the team to beat? Not named the La Dodgers
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: in the National League.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: This years, of course. But here's our challenge, Braves.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And here's the Dodgers' advantage obviously, but you know, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it's fairly obvious, but their depth, that's the challenge.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You know, when you spend a mark, when you spend
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: a billion dollars, you're gonna have some depth.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it's you know, they could, they could,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: they can afford a few injured. Braves went through some
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: serious injuries last year. We're already a little snake bit now,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: uh with some injuries going in the season, but we
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: can't really.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We got to stay healthy.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And I think every other team you can talk about
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the Phillies Braves if it could be there. I mean,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously, off the top of my head. San
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Diego Braves Phillies.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Whom I miss and has a shot.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: But Dodgers are so good and have so much depth
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: at which they've established with their spending.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, baseball is weird as we all know. Hey,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: you know when you think about Toronto should have won
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: that thing last year?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know so, Uh it's Harden. It's gonna be
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: tough to see someone, you know, uh outplay the Dodgers.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: But it could be any of these teams we talked
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: about that were in the playoffs last year, and you know,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we just gotta just gotta play them and see what.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: But I do like the Braves. I do like this team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But we we just we just gotta stay healthy as
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the old you know, he gets a worn out saying,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but especially all the teams except the Dodgers gotta stay
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: extremely healthy and have things go. They're bounce their way.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Dodgers got depth, they got everything. So it's gonna be tough.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I'm shocked to hear mister Braves say he likes the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Braves this year. All right, before you go, give me
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: your favorite player in Major League Baseball to watch. If
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: you're turning on the TV and this guy is on
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the you know, he's up to bat, or he's on
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the whatever it might happen to be. Who's your favorite
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: player to watch? Don't have to be the best player,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: but who's who's Dale Murphy's favorite player to watch?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I got some favorite braves, but you probably want
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: me to pick some other people. And and I'll tell
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you I love two shortstops, your guy Bobby with and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz. Yeah, you know, I baseball is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: not like this obvious sport where you're you're playing hard
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and intense. It doesn't kind of you know, it doesn't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: exude that. But when those two guys get on the field,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I can feel it, and they play hard, they love
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the game, and uh it's it's fun to watch.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Those are the first two that come to mind.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Obviously, show Hey never we will probably never see a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: player like him, So, you know, show Hey's up and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he's playing, I'm watching.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Otani is much he must watch TV. But and
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it's not just because I'm a Royals fan.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I just think.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Bobby wit is because he's a five. He's he's probably
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the best all the round player in the game not
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: named Show Hey Otani. Between playing shortstop, the toughest position
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: to play. He's got speed, he's got power, He just
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: he does it all. And like you said, he kind
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: of plays with that kind of He's still young, so
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: it kind of plays with that boy ish. Hey, I'm
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: out here having fun with my buddy's playing baseball.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, and you know he does d H and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I know he pitches and that you know, I mean,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: what he does is remarkable, but.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Being any you know, show his everyday player.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: But it's player.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's different now he pitches, so it's hard to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: figure out what kind of category he put him in.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You know, he's in his own category. I think we
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: can agree with that everyday players. Bobby Wit is uh
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the prototypical player. You say, kids watch how he plays.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: This is the guy.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you another young player I really like watching
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: is Roman Anthony from the Red Sox. He's a lot
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of fun to watch too.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: And everybody says this, but it's hard to figure out
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: how I mean, it's hard when you realize how young
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: he is.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I mean he just you know, a.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Lot of kids, he just looks like a seasoned veteran.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: So again, get him back to our discussion earlier roles
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: we got so many good things going on in the game.
• 17:03
