- 0:06SPEAKER_00: I'm Aiden.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: I will be your host for today and every day that I upload.
- 0:11SPEAKER_00: We have audio and visual.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: We'll be on Spotify and YouTube.
- 0:18SPEAKER_00: Today we're going to be doing a very brief episode.
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: It is the first episode, so welcome to that.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: Today we'll be covering some things going on in the sports world.
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: Mainly, this is going to get to know me, your host, Aiden.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: But first, we're going to do a random Bible verse.
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: We will do this every episode.
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: So we're going to go to dailyverses.net to get our Bible verse.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: This is going to be Mark 16, 15.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: Alright.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: Now let's get into it.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: Let's cover our first topic.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Me.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: I'm the first topic of today.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: We're going to cover the sports teams that I root for.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: College Pro.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: Let's start with college.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: Obviously, KU guy.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: Love KU.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Love KU for most of my life.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: It's a shame that they are only good at basketball.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: My least favorite sport.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: Maybe not my least favorite.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: Soccer's my least favorite major sport.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: But KU, really good at basketball.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: Love watching KU.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: Whether it is baseball, football, or of course basketball.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: They are terrible at football.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, but Jalen Daniels is cooking in the NFL right now.
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: So that's awesome.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: We can always root for a Jayhawk.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Devin Neal, I have a Devin Neal Saints jersey.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Sad to see him no longer on the Saints.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: So, KU, big fan of KU.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Penn State.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: I've been a Penn State for pretty much all my life.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: Always been that way.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: And it's because I'm a big Philadelphia fan.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: I love Philadelphia.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: I'm an Eagles fan.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Big Eagles fan.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: Big Phillies fan.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: They just have my heart.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: They just they have my heart.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: I root for them.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: My weeks are decided on how they're doing.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Don't ask me how my week has been.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: The Phillies have recently taken out of the playoffs by the not so good Braves.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: So it's pretty terrible.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Pretty terrible stuff.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: The Eagles are now 2-3.
- 2:59SPEAKER_00: So life could be better.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Life could be better.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: So those are my uh two major fandoms in the football and baseball industry.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: I'm a big hockey fan.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: Big, big hockey fan.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: I have more hockey jerseys than one should probably own.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: I have around 40.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: Um the Colorado Avalanche are my team.
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: I'm born and raised in Colorado.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: So I'm not a Broncos fan.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Never have been.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: Maybe will be eventually.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: Um, but not.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: I'm not.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: I like the Rockies.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: The Rockies just haven't been good since 2007, and I was six years old.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: So they haven't been good since Todd Helton was around, and Troy Cholitsky and Nolan Arenado, and that era is not coming back with the regime we have right now.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: But those are my major fandoms.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm a big UFC guy.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: I watch almost every week.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: Um definitely used to watch more.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: I think this past year.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: I've kind of faded out of it.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: Although Joshua Van is probably my favorite fighter in the UFC right now.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: Um, if we're not talking UFC, then I would say I'm a Christian Lee guy from OneChamp.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: Uh Demetrius Johnson was my favorite fighter ever growing up.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Uh, one of my favorite humans ever.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: I grew up watching WWE, so I'm a big John Cena guy as well.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's not really kicking it anymore, but big John Cena guy nonetheless.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Um, and what this channel is gonna be is me just talking sports, what's going on in the sporting world.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, my opinions on the sporting world, I am not a professional.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: I won't ever claim to be a professional.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: I have a dog back there, he's laying on his Snorlax, so don't mind any noise you hear from back there.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, this channel will have some biases.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: I will try my best to keep those biases out.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: But the Eagles are doing fairly terrible.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: So I'm sure I will um talk badly about them.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Um I'll try keeping the cussing to a minimum just in case anybody has any families that they want to watch this in front of.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: Um, let's get into it.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: Playoffs are going on right now.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: Let's look at the bracket, let's look at what's going on.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: Uh obviously, my Phillies were bounced in the wild card by the brays.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Rough.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: Rough.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Um, Don Mattingly just actually signed an extension to be our official manager.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: And I love Don Mattingly as a as a person.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: Um, he was a great player.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Um, he started off really well, and it just wasn't working towards the end.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: So um I'm hoping next year is a lot better with him.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: Maybe he just needs to get his footing.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: The Braves uh do not like the Braves.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Never have liked the Braves.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: A really good team.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: I do like Matt Olson.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Matt Olson's a really good guy.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: Um Cubs Padres, Padres obviously eliminated them, swept them.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: White Sox swept the Astros.
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: Yankees swept the Red Sox.
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: That was a fantastic series as somebody who played on the Yankees when I was seven years old.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: I will root for them occasionally.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: Um I will say I was rooting for them against the Rays.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: Kinda happy the Rays won that series.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: A small market franchise needs to win.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: So, like these the Tampa Bay Rays, the Cleveland Guardians, uh, the Brewers, we need them to win.
- 7:06SPEAKER_00: We cannot have the Dodgers three beat.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: And speaking of the Dodgers, they're down.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: They're 0-3 against the Brewers.
- 7:18SPEAKER_00: The Brewers, they look unstoppable.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: They look unbeatable.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: This is I've said this several times this year, like a team looks unbeatable.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: One of those teams was Vegas, the Golden Knights, and then they played the Hurricanes, and they were beat.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping that is not the case with the Brewers.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: I hope the Brewers beat the Dodgers, and I hope they beat the Rays or the Guardians.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: I would want the Rays and the Brewers to be in there.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: Get a team in there that's never won the World Series.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: That would be awesome.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: That would be huge for baseball.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: That would be huge for a possible pending lockout.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: Um, if the Dodgers win this season, I think there's a 60-40 chance that we have a lockout.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: Again, I'm not a professional.
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: Um, it's just what I've heard in the realms.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: It's possible that there's going to be a lockout if the Dodgers win again.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: I mean, they own every single big contract.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: And with this deferred money that they do, they get every big player who comes over from Japan, besides Murakami.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: And Murakami is a great baseball player.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: He obviously went to the White Sox.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: I guess nobody really believed in him, and then he had a pretty good year.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: Happy for him, happy for Japanese baseball.
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: That's really great.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: Um, showing that they can hit some bombs in the MOB.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: That's really, really good for Japanese baseball.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: Um, you typically see them come over and they're either a contact guy or they're a really dominant pitcher.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: Umigamamoto is one of those dominant pitchers that I'm talking about.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: Um a contact bat would be Ichiro.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: Ichiro was a contact bat.
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: I he wasn't a home run hitter.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: Uh, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, though.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: Um, so I'm hoping Munutaka Murakami goes out there and he he continues to hit bombs.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: I think that's really great for the sport.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: Um, but my bias aside, I would have really loved the Phillies to win the World Series.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: Obviously, they are just not cutting it.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: Um, it's hard to play baseball when you only have a couple hitters.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: I I mean honestly, Alec Bohm um is a guy that I fluctuated between really liking and then really not.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: Um, I believe his contract's up this year, and I'm interested to see what they do with that.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: Um, there's rumors that they're gonna put Aiden Miller at third base and say bye to Bohm.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: I I'm not so certain about that.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Um I just don't think it's gonna happen.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: Bryson Stott, I love Bryson Stott.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's a gold glove shortstop who's played second base.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: Shouldn't be at second base, he should be a shortstop.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: I would be perfectly fine if Trey Turner moved over to second or even third.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: Bryson Stott is too valuable to be playing second base every day, especially when he can't hit as good as Trey Turner.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: So I would like to see him at least show off that defense in uh in a spot that needs the good defense.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: Bryce Harper.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: Bryce Harper is one of my favorite baseball players of all time.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: I grew up watching Bryce Harper.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: Uh Bryce Harper.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's just the guy.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: He's the guy.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: I I uh Todd Helton was my favorite player before Bryce Harper.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: I mean, what those guys just have aura.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: They just had an aura about them.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: Obviously, Todd Helton was a very quiet guy and backed it up with his bat.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Bryce Harper happens to be a very loud guy who also backs it up with his bat.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: Um Kyle Schwarber continues to hit bombs.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: The pitching staff I feel pretty good about.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: Um Christopher Sanchez, Zach Wheeler, Aaron Nola.
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: Aaronola, kinda kinda iffy on Aaronola, honestly.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: But he can have some good games.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: I want to say he actually had a decent game.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: No, just kidding.
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: He kind of blew it.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: Um, he was the downfall of that game.
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: I can't believe I forgot that he was the downfall.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: And then Zach Wheeler really couldn't get a footing in that game.
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: Two earned runs, honestly, not terrible for four innings.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: Um, but honestly, pretty disappointed.
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: Andrew Painter, I think Andrew Painter, as bad as this season was at the beginning of the season, um, when he came up in early August, late July, he looked really good.
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: I think he had a mid-3 ERA, and I'm perfectly fine with that being my fourth guy.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: Um, so I'm happy with him.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: Um, as far as the bats go, they have to add.
- 12:26SPEAKER_00: Enough talking about the Phillies.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: The Phillies are in it.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: They won't be in it.
- 12:31SPEAKER_00: I don't think they'll be in it again next year.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: We're gonna talk about the teams that are in it.
- 12:37SPEAKER_00: Let's go with the Rays and Guardians first.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: The Rays and Guardians, this matchup is phenomenal.
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: Uh, this game was obviously two days ago.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: Uh I mean this this is gonna be a good series either way.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: Whoever wins it, I will be happy.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, Cleveland hasn't won since I want to say the 50s.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: So if they won, I want to say it was 58.
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: It's either 58 or 48, something like that in that range.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: Um, if they won, I would obviously be happy for them too.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Um they have Jose Ramirez, who I just think is one of the best players in the league consistently.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: Um, and then the Rays.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: I think the Rays are really a dark horse to win it all, but they kind of do it by committee.
- 13:31SPEAKER_00: I mean, of course they have Kemonaro, who just is the that guy for them.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: Uh, but other than that, like Johnny DeLuca, Johnny DeLuca's awesome to watch play baseball.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: He's awesome to watch.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: Yandi Diaz has been around forever.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Chandler Simpson, maybe the fastest guy in baseball.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: Uh you just can't get him out if he hits a ground ball to third base.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: It's just not possible.
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: Um, so this is an interesting series.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: Again, I would like the Rays to win that series.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: I think that's that would be awesome for baseball.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: I think the Rays either getting their first win or the Brewers getting their first win would be ideal for baseball.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: I think that speaks volumes and uh what's gonna happen this offseason, whether there is a lockout or whether there's not.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: Um, if we see the Dodgers go into this and it's the Guardians and the Dodgers just dominate them, I just don't think the season might be delayed.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: I don't know if there's a lockout.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: Um, a lot of these small market teams getting this far, or these teams that haven't won in a long time getting this far.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: I don't see a whole season of a lockout just because these teams have made it this far.
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: I you I mean, people are gonna be arguing that hey, the Guardians made it this far, the Brewers made it this far, the Rays made it this far.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: So what the Dodgers beat them in the end, they made it this far.
- 15:03SPEAKER_00: I don't think they have a leg to stand.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: I think the Dodgers are ruining baseball to an extent.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: I think there should be a salary cap.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: I think a salary cap is only good for not only the fans.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: It's hard to say.
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: Um I mean it kind of does screw over the players, though there being a salary cap.
- 15:27SPEAKER_00: But maybe the a salary floor, there has to be a salary floor to keep teams engaged.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: As somebody who has rooted for the Rockies for a lot of my life, it sucks.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: It sucks.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: It sucks so bad that when we go out there and we get a free agent, we get one free agent, and it turns out to be Chris Bryant, and he just plays less than a season with us, even though he's been technically on the roster for five years.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: He's played less than 120 games.
- 16:04SPEAKER_00: It's a bummer.
- 16:05SPEAKER_00: It's a it's a bummer.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: Um, I actually watched this game last night.
- 16:10SPEAKER_00: I'm recording this at 3 a.m.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: Random spark of uh motivation to do this while I was laying in bed.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: Um, so I decided to get up and get off my butt and do it, you know.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: Um I watched this game last night while I was playing video games with my boys right here.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: Um playing some Phasmophobia and just chilling.
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: This was an awesome game.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: The Brewers are electric.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: I mean, they're down one at the top of the seventh inning, and they just hit back-to-back home runs, and it was just I mean, the air left the stadium.
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: It left the stadium.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: This this team who's built up again of non-homer hitters hitting home runs.
- 17:03SPEAKER_00: It's awesome.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: It's awesome to see this.
- 17:07SPEAKER_00: Um obviously they had some really good pitching from Robert Gasser uh yesterday.
- 17:14SPEAKER_00: Um, I wasn't too familiar with him.
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: I'm familiar with literally everybody on this besides Gasser.
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: Emner Rebay obviously didn't have that great of a showing.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: Trevor McGill, honestly, is pretty good.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: DL Hall, uh, pretty good.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: But what's going on with the Dodgers?
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: They are they are quiet.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: They are quiet.
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: Um, they did get some good pitching out of Blake Snell for I want to say five innings besides that first inning home run.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: Really good pitching.
- 17:47SPEAKER_00: Really, really good pitching.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: He was pitching lights out.
- 17:50SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is a guy that had nine strikeouts in five innings, and then I just don't think he had another strikeout that last inning, and he gave up four runs.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: Um Roki Sasaki, I I I hate what they're doing to him.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: Um again, a guy who came over from Japan that who he would be in a starting rotation somewhere.
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: I understand his numbers haven't been good.
- 18:16SPEAKER_00: Um if we really look at his numbers, like uh 4-4-9?
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Is that really what it is?
- 18:29SPEAKER_00: He had a 4-4-9 and 122 innings this year with Shrekhouse, yeah.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: 123?
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: This guy would be a starter on 20 teams.
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: I I just again, this is what drives me crazy about the Dodgers, is like this guy, although a 4-4-9 isn't great, that is not great, but that that is a fourth or fifth starter at your bullpen.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: Let's go look at the Rockies.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: A 4-4-9 in 122 innings is fantastic for a guy who is listed as a bust.
- 19:21SPEAKER_00: Um, let's look at the Rockies pitching status here.
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: Um he would be the ace for the Rockies.
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: Yosagano, who I don't even know how he has a 1.8 war.
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: Um 154 innings with a 5.37 ERA, Kyle Freeland, uh 6.65 ERA and 135, uh, Ryan Feltner, 540 and 123.
- 19:57SPEAKER_00: Uh is this last year?
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: Is this last year's?
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: No, this is this year.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: This is this year, wow.
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: I guess I didn't realize that the Rockies had pitched Michael Lorenzen so much this year.
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: Ryan Feltner, 540 and 123 innings.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: Michael Lorenzen had a negative 1.7 war, a 7.08 ERA and 115 innings.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: Gabriel Hughes, the guy we drafted a couple years ago, we were pretty hyped about, but really not doing it for us.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: 6.33 and 64, and then Jose Quintana, 5.44 and 48.
- 20:46SPEAKER_00: So Roky would be a starting uh he would be the ace of the Colorado Rockies this past year.
- 20:56SPEAKER_00: Uh that's without say talking about Chase Dolander.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: Chase Dolander is fantastic.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, he didn't get the innings due to an injury.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: He's obviously gonna be the Rockies' ace.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: He had a 1.1 war, uh, 3.89 ERA in 44 innings.
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: 44 innings.
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: This guy had a 1.1 ERA.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: I mean, on average, he he's gonna be close to a five and a half war season, full season ERA plus of 129.
- 21:28SPEAKER_00: Really good stuff from him.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: Um, I also am a big fan of Chase the Wonder.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: I have a Chase the L Chase the Lander jersey, it's hung up in my closet.
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: Um, but 47 strikeouts and 44 innings.
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: He's obviously gonna be their ace, but if we're going base on this past season, Rogi Sasaki would be the ace of the Colorado Rockies, and it's not even close.
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: It's not even close, it's almost a full.
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: It's almost a full.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: One in the ERA call.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: He's a 449.
- 22:04SPEAKER_00: Delos is a 537.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: That's a 0.9 difference.
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: That's insane.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: And they just have him coming out of their bullpen.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: Let's look at another comparable team.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: This is another team that has a good pitching rotation.
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: Where would Roki Sasaki fit in this?
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Let's look at the Phillies this year.
- 22:30SPEAKER_00: If we look at the Phillies.
- 22:33SPEAKER_00: Where am I going?
- 22:39unknown: Okay.
- 22:40SPEAKER_00: Let's look at the Phillies pitching.
- 22:44SPEAKER_00: He would be in here above Aaronola, who had a 4-6-7 and 175 innings.
- 22:51SPEAKER_00: Granted, he Aranola had more innings.
- 22:54SPEAKER_00: I understand that.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: But the ERA is better.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: Is the ERA plus better?
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: It is.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be a 97.
- 23:03SPEAKER_00: Nola's below league average.
- 23:07SPEAKER_00: Rokie's at a 94.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: I misspoke.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: Okay, fair enough.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: We obviously talked about Andrew Painter, a 540 ERA in 126 innings, but it was like a 7 before he went down and then came up in August.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: So he lowered it a ton.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: His last couple starts were great.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: I mean he had a 1.3 war.
- 23:32SPEAKER_00: And he was, I'm pretty sure, negative before that cop in August.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: So I'm honestly pretty happy with Andrew Painter.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: But you could argue Roky and Aranola had a very similar year.
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: I mean the war's not there for Roky.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: The ERA plus is pretty similar.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: Roky has a lower ERA, less innings.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: But Aranola also led the league in home runs given up.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: With 37 home runs.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: He gave up 37 home runs.
- 24:14SPEAKER_00: Aaronola did have 177 strikeouts.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: Aranola's always going to strike somebody out.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: He's got some good stuff.
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: He just didn't put it together this year.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: But what I'm what I'm saying is Roki Sasaki, let's go look at the White Sox.
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: What I'm saying is Roki Sasaki would be a starting pitcher for several teams.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: I mean, we just looked at a contender and he's borderline a starter there.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: So let's look at another team who made it decently far, the White Sox.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: The White Sox had Sean Burke, Anthony Kay, Davis Martin, and Noah Schultz listed as their regime.
- 24:58SPEAKER_00: It's only four pitchers.
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: I'm sure they dealt with a lot of injuries, especially because only one of these pitchers had over 170 innings.
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: And then it's kind of oh, Eric Fetty's down here.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 25:10SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure why Eric Fetty's not up there.
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: But yeah.
- 25:18SPEAKER_00: He pitched a better year than Noah Schultz, who had uh 5.57 in 74 innings.
- 25:23SPEAKER_00: Uh ERA plus of 76.
- 25:26SPEAKER_00: Um, this is a really good team.
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: Sean Burke obviously had a great year.
- 25:32SPEAKER_00: 4.2 war, 3.34 ERA, 172 innings, 185 strikeouts with an ERA plus of 126.
- 25:41SPEAKER_00: So obviously Sean Burke had a really good year.
- 25:43SPEAKER_00: Um, he's not going to compare to Sean Burke or even really Eric Fetty.
- 25:47SPEAKER_00: Uh Eric Fetty had a 3.83 in 141 innings, ERA plus of 110.
- 25:53SPEAKER_00: But obviously, what I'm saying is you could slot him, Anthony K.
- 25:57SPEAKER_00: Uh 1.2 war, 4.44, 158 innings.
- 26:03SPEAKER_00: Um had the most hit by pitches with 26.
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: I think that's important that I laid that out.
- 26:08SPEAKER_00: Hidden ERA plus of 94.
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: You know who else saw an ERA plus of 94 and is playing in the bullpen?
- 26:16SPEAKER_00: Roki Sasaki.
- 26:19SPEAKER_00: I think Roki Sasaki should be playing in a starting role.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: I mean, let's even look here.
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: They have him listed here as a starter.
- 26:30SPEAKER_00: Obviously, he's coming out of the bullpen right now.
- 26:33SPEAKER_00: He's not a starter if their team is healthy.
- 26:36SPEAKER_00: I will just say that he's not a starter when Snell, Glasnow, uh, Otani are healthy.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: He's just not.
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: And that's the issue that I'm trying to make is that he was a top signing out of Japan, and he's not even getting a fair run in the MLB for the Los Angeles Dodgers unless there's an injury that he can take over for.
- 27:09SPEAKER_00: That is what I'm arguing.
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: He should be starting on a team.
- 27:15SPEAKER_00: And I just don't like how the Dodgers, I mean, you look at this roster.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, Alex Freeland is a young and upcomer.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: He could be really good one day.
- 27:29SPEAKER_00: That has nothing to do with free agency or anything like that.
- 27:34SPEAKER_00: They were developing him.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: But Moki Betts, Max Munti, Tiasca Hernandez, uh Pajes, obviously, they have developed him pretty much.
- 27:44SPEAKER_00: Kyle Tucker, Shoey Otani, Tommy Edmond.
- 27:47SPEAKER_00: Tommy Edmonds listed as a utility player.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: I'm sure Tommy Edmond would be an everyday player for the Rockies or even the White Sox in the White's Tots who made the postseason.
- 27:59SPEAKER_00: Um you have Dalton rushing.
- 28:02SPEAKER_00: They just have so much.
- 28:04SPEAKER_00: I mean, they have Alec Thomas, um, who obviously was discarded by Arizona this year.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: But then you get to their starting pitcher: Yoshinobu, Yamanu, Justin Worbeski, Roki Sasaki, Emmett Sheehan, Shoya Otani, Tyler Gaznau, um Blake Snell when he's healthy.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: They have Tarek Scuble now.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: Um, and then you get the relief pitchers, Tanner Scott, Jack Dreyer, uh, Alex Avesia, uh, Blake Trinan, and Evan Phillips, Edward, Edwin Diaz.
- 28:38SPEAKER_00: Like this is Seth Halverson, I think, is another guy who could be better.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: Um, he pitches, he throws rockets.
- 28:47SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's insane.
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: This team is unfair.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: This team is unfair on paper, it's unfair in practice, and it would be great if they lost.
- 29:01SPEAKER_00: This is a hate watching video now.
- 29:05SPEAKER_00: And I'm sorry if you're a Dodgers fan.
- 29:07SPEAKER_00: I it's fun.
- 29:10SPEAKER_00: They're a fun team to watch.
- 29:12SPEAKER_00: I like a lot of these players on this team.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: I have a Shoei Otani jersey.
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: Granted, not when he was with the Dodgers.
- 29:18SPEAKER_00: I like a lot of these players.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: I like Will Smith.
- 29:21SPEAKER_00: I love Freddie Freeman.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: I like Moki Betts.
- 29:23SPEAKER_00: Moki Betts is an awesome guy.
- 29:25SPEAKER_00: Kyle Tucker, I'm sure, is a great guy too.
- 29:27SPEAKER_00: Shoey Otani.
- 29:29SPEAKER_00: Big fan of him.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: Alex Call.
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: I like Alex Call.
- 29:32SPEAKER_00: I'm a big fan of Alex Call.
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: He doesn't get a lot of run with him, but I'm a fan of Alex Call.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: I have to say that.
- 29:39SPEAKER_00: It has to be known.
- 29:41SPEAKER_00: I don't like Dalton Rushing.
- 29:44SPEAKER_00: I think that's a valid take, whether you like him or whether you don't.
- 29:48SPEAKER_00: It's um kind of up to you.
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: Rojas, I like him.
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: I think he's entertaining.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: Um Yamamoto, I'm a big fan of.
- 29:57SPEAKER_00: Sasaki, obviously, I'm a big fan of.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: Tyler Glasno Glasnau.
- 30:00SPEAKER_00: I think he's a great person.
- 30:02SPEAKER_00: I love watching interviews with him.
- 30:05SPEAKER_00: I like this team.
- 30:07SPEAKER_00: Tarek Skooble, I like Blake Snout, quirky guy, but he's cool.
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: I like a lot of players on this team.
- 30:14SPEAKER_00: I cannot support this team.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: This team is too good.
- 30:19SPEAKER_00: It's too good.
- 30:21SPEAKER_00: And I think a lot of people that are arguing for a cap floor or cap ceiling are hiding the fact that this team is too good.
- 30:30SPEAKER_00: They're not willing to say that this team's too good.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: They're gonna say they bought this team.
- 30:36SPEAKER_00: No, this team is just genuinely too good.
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: It's it's too good of a team.
- 30:41SPEAKER_00: It's unfair.
- 30:43SPEAKER_00: This is like if you took the Rockies to go play a high school team, the Rockies are obviously gonna win.
- 30:51SPEAKER_00: Like, they're a good team, and that's why there needs to be a structure in place to combat owners who have so much money from doing this.
- 31:08SPEAKER_00: I mean, how many of these guys did they actually develop?
- 31:12SPEAKER_00: They didn't develop Moki Bat, they didn't develop Freddie Freeman or Kyle Tucker or Shohei Otani.
- 31:22SPEAKER_00: Uh Teoscar, I don't even think that is is uh from here.
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: He's not.
- 31:29SPEAKER_00: Teoscar's not from here.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: Yamamoto, they could say they developed.
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: He came over from Japan.
- 31:41SPEAKER_00: Tyler Glasnow, no.
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: Tanner Scott, no, Terek Scupel, no, Blake Snell, no, like Edwin Diaz, no, and a lot of these guys they bought, and I think there needs to be discussion with a cap ceiling and a cap floor, because you have managers and owners who aren't willing to spend, hence the Rockies or the A's, but then you also have teams who spend too much, like the Dodgers or the Mets.
- 32:15SPEAKER_00: The Mets obviously it didn't work for them this season, but who's to say it won't work for them next season?
- 32:20SPEAKER_00: Or the Yankees if they the Yankees ever get back to their spending days, they're gonna spend a ton.
- 32:27SPEAKER_00: I don't hate the players on the Dodgers.
- 32:31SPEAKER_00: I hate what they're doing to baseball, and I don't think they're even doing it knowingly.
- 32:43SPEAKER_00: These players are trying to get paid, but they're also trying to win.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: So I understand a lot of these players going to this team, signing with this team in the offseason, because they want to win.
- 32:52SPEAKER_00: This is their best chance to win.
- 32:54SPEAKER_00: Nobody else is doing it like this.
- 32:56SPEAKER_00: Nobody else is doing it like this.
- 32:58SPEAKER_00: So I'll cut it with the Dodgers.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I have some heavily opinions on the Dodgers, and it's nothing but good for them.
- 33:15SPEAKER_00: It is nothing but good that somebody like me, who roots for the Phillies or the Rockies, is sitting here whining and complaining about the Dodgers spending habits.
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: I I'm sure I would love it if the Phillies spent their money like the Dodgers do, or the Rockies spent the money like the Dodgers do.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I would love it.
- 33:33SPEAKER_00: And I'm aware of this bias that I have.
- 33:36SPEAKER_00: Again, I said at the beginning of the show, I was gonna be biased.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: I would love if the Brewers won because of my bias.
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: I would love it.
- 33:45SPEAKER_00: I think it would be great for baseball if it wasn't just dominated by one team.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: We don't need the Yankees all over again.
- 33:53SPEAKER_00: Although I rooted for those teams.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: We don't need that.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: We need parody.
- 33:59SPEAKER_00: This league needs to be more parody.
- 34:02SPEAKER_00: And and I understand the regular season, there was a lot of parody this year.
- 34:06SPEAKER_00: It was it was a pretty close, pretty close standing race for most of these teams.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: But it's not in the playoffs.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: Because player teams like the Dodgers put players on IR or like they don't use these players to their full capacity in the regular season because they know that they're just gonna they're shoeing for the playoffs.
- 34:30SPEAKER_00: So so why waste that talent?
- 34:33SPEAKER_00: I just think if my team was doing it like the Dodgers, I would obviously be a fan.
- 34:39SPEAKER_00: I'm not a fan because it's the Dodgers.
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: Plain and simple.
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: Um and the issue is they're the only team doing it.
- 34:49SPEAKER_00: We wouldn't be talking about a lockout if multiple teams are doing it.
- 34:53SPEAKER_00: We're talking about it because only one team is doing it.
- 34:57SPEAKER_00: And it's the Dodgers, and they've won two in a row.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: They're about to win, they could win three.
- 35:03SPEAKER_00: They could win three.
- 35:05SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: So it's my opinions on baseball right now.
- 35:12SPEAKER_00: I'm upset.
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: The Phillies are out, the Rockies suck.
- 35:16SPEAKER_00: Let's go to hockey.
- 35:18SPEAKER_00: Let's go to hockey.
- 35:19SPEAKER_00: Hockey's a little harder to cover right now, because a lot of this does not matter.
- 35:24SPEAKER_00: Does not matter.
- 35:24SPEAKER_00: I will tell you about the games that I've been watching and the teams that I love to watch.
- 35:29SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I love watching the Avalanche, the Avalanche loss, then the shootout tonight to the Dallas Stars.
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: Boo the Dallas Stars.
- 35:36SPEAKER_00: Boo the Dallas Stars with all my heart.
- 35:39SPEAKER_00: Um, just because of Miko Ranton, of course.
- 35:42SPEAKER_00: Otherwise, I don't hate a single Dallas Star.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: I love Jason Robertson.
- 35:47SPEAKER_00: Love Jason Robertson.
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: Um hockey's so fun.
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: I there's so many injuries this year.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: It's brutal.
- 35:56SPEAKER_00: Igor Shisturkin being out for the entire season for the Rangers, it's brutal for them, especially with the start that they've gone on.
- 36:02SPEAKER_00: They're 6-2-8 in eight games.
- 36:05SPEAKER_00: They have 12 points.
- 36:06SPEAKER_00: They're one point behind the Hurricanes, who have also played eight games, but instead of two losses, they have one overtime loss.
- 36:14SPEAKER_00: They are on a six-game winning streak.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: So another team that I do like to follow is the Philadelphia Flyers.
- 36:23SPEAKER_00: It's a bad, bad month for Philadelphia, guys.
- 36:28SPEAKER_00: They're 0-5-3.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: They have not won a single game this season.
- 36:32SPEAKER_00: I believe they are the only team.
- 36:34SPEAKER_00: They're not the only team that hasn't won a game.
- 36:36SPEAKER_00: The LA Kings are also another team that hasn't won a game.
- 36:41SPEAKER_00: Um, the difference is the LA Kings have only played five games.
- 36:45SPEAKER_00: And the Flyers have played eight.
- 36:48SPEAKER_00: So it's rough.
- 36:51SPEAKER_00: It's rough in hockey world right now.
- 36:54SPEAKER_00: Um the Avalanche are obviously 4-2-1.
- 36:58SPEAKER_00: We have nine points in seven games.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: It's not bad.
- 37:01SPEAKER_00: Um obviously, I would like them to do a little better.
- 37:04SPEAKER_00: I feel like a lot of their games are real close.
- 37:08SPEAKER_00: They either if they're gonna lose, it's gonna be a close one, or they're gonna blow the other team out.
- 37:14SPEAKER_00: Um is really how the Avalanche play.
- 37:16SPEAKER_00: I like watching the Kinecks.
- 37:18SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I've been a big fan of the Kinecks for years.
- 37:21SPEAKER_00: Shout out the hockey guy, uh, my favorite watch on YouTube.
- 37:26SPEAKER_00: Um, he covers all things hockey, he does daily videos.
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: I watch him daily.
- 37:32SPEAKER_00: Awesome guy.
- 37:32SPEAKER_00: Shout out Shannon.
- 37:35SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, I mean, as far as everything's going on right now, I don't have much to talk about.
- 37:43SPEAKER_00: Um, obviously, the Oilers look pretty good.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: Connor McDavid is from a different planet.
- 37:52SPEAKER_00: Uh Evan Bouchard's going nuts.
- 37:55SPEAKER_00: Um, but if we're gonna talk about my Avalanche, Nathan McKinnon, I mean that guy can take a punch, he can give a punch, he can score a bunch.
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, he is he is electric.
- 38:05SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's nothing more than I love to watch than Nathan McKinnon right now.
- 38:11SPEAKER_00: Um, but let's go ahead and talk about Jonathan Druin.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: Somebody sign Jonathan Druin, guys.
- 38:19SPEAKER_00: I have six Jonathan Druin jerseys sitting in my closet right now.
- 38:24SPEAKER_00: Get somebody to sign Jonathan Druin.
- 38:28SPEAKER_00: I don't care if he's playing eight minutes and you put him on the damn power play for all of it.
- 38:34SPEAKER_00: He's a speedy guy that's got creative passing.
- 38:39SPEAKER_00: Don't play him in the defensive zone.
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: Fine.
- 38:42SPEAKER_00: Fine.
- 38:44SPEAKER_00: But somebody sign him.
- 38:46SPEAKER_00: Somebody give him a shot.
- 38:48SPEAKER_00: He's too good to be going to play overseas right now.
- 38:51SPEAKER_00: He's he's also at what, 31, 32?
- 38:55SPEAKER_00: He's not that old.
- 38:56SPEAKER_00: And he's still got some wheels and can pass the puck pretty good.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: So give him a shot.
- 39:03SPEAKER_00: Um, if we're gonna talk more about my flyers, um, get Rick Talkett out of there.
- 39:08SPEAKER_00: I can't stand his coaching style.
- 39:10SPEAKER_00: Um, he's completely tarnished Matt Vemishkov's um development.
- 39:23SPEAKER_00: I mean, he Matt Vemishkov is too good to be in the situation he's in right now.
- 39:30SPEAKER_00: He's 21, so he's still young.
- 39:32SPEAKER_00: Seventh overall in 2023.
- 39:36SPEAKER_00: He's got two points in eight games.
- 39:39SPEAKER_00: He's projected to have 21, and they're all supposed to be goals.
- 39:43SPEAKER_00: That's a crazy projection.
- 39:44SPEAKER_00: But it's because Rick Takett doesn't play it.
- 39:47SPEAKER_00: He doesn't play it.
- 39:48SPEAKER_00: He hates Rick Takett has always hated a player who can just play offense.
- 39:56SPEAKER_00: Now Vamishkov is obviously an undersized guy.
- 40:00SPEAKER_00: He can really only play offense.
- 40:02SPEAKER_00: He's worked on his defense, it's just not there yet.
- 40:05SPEAKER_00: I get it.
- 40:08SPEAKER_00: Stop sleeping on the kid.
- 40:09SPEAKER_00: He's so good.
- 40:11SPEAKER_00: He's such a good shot.
- 40:13SPEAKER_00: Last season had 51 points in 81 games.
- 40:16SPEAKER_00: The year before that had 63 and 80.
- 40:18SPEAKER_00: 63 and 80 in his rookie season.
- 40:22SPEAKER_00: That was pre-talket.
- 40:27SPEAKER_00: Now we're seeing 2 and 8.
- 40:29SPEAKER_00: Rick Tocket hates Matthew Mishkoff.
- 40:31SPEAKER_00: It's rough to watch.
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: Uh let's look at scoring leaders right now.
- 40:36SPEAKER_00: This is something I haven't done.
- 40:37SPEAKER_00: This wasn't even planned.
- 40:39SPEAKER_00: Obviously, we have Conor McDavid.
- 40:41SPEAKER_00: Six games played, four goals, 13 assists for 17 points.
- 40:45SPEAKER_00: Evan Bouchard, six games, six goals, eight assists, 14 points.
- 40:49SPEAKER_00: Shabastian Aho for the Caroline Hurricane, six goals, seven assists, 13 points.
- 40:55SPEAKER_00: Eichel, 4-9, 13, and 8 games.
- 40:58SPEAKER_00: Austin Matthews, having a good bounce back year.
- 41:02SPEAKER_00: 7 games, 5 goals, 7 assists, 12 points.
- 41:05SPEAKER_00: Neilander, 7 games, 5, 7, 12.
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: Nathan McKinnon, again, 5-7, 12, and 7.
- 41:12SPEAKER_00: Kroke Bizov, super good.
- 41:14SPEAKER_00: Alexis Lafreniere.
- 41:15SPEAKER_00: We need to talk about him.
- 41:17SPEAKER_00: I have never given up on this guy, and he's having a great start of the year.
- 41:22SPEAKER_00: I I hope, I hope, and I pray that continues for him.
- 41:28SPEAKER_00: I just hope it so much.
- 41:31SPEAKER_00: Please continue to do great things.
- 41:34SPEAKER_00: Um he's not even on my fantasy team.
- 41:38SPEAKER_00: Um, if I look at this list right now and say who's on my fantasy team, I have Quinn Hughes and Nick Suzuki, Elias Peterson, who's having a great bounce back year.
- 41:50SPEAKER_00: Nine points in eight games.
- 41:52SPEAKER_00: He slowed down a little bit, but um I appreciate him and his attitude coming back this season.
- 41:59SPEAKER_00: I have Bohu Orvet, who's got seven points in six games.
- 42:03SPEAKER_00: Season just getting started.
- 42:05SPEAKER_00: There's not much to talk about in hockey right now.
- 42:08SPEAKER_00: Um I'm excited that it's back, especially once the Phillies lost and the Eagles started playing terrible.
- 42:16SPEAKER_00: I've really, really centered my life about around hockey and of course finishing some playoff baseball.
- 42:25SPEAKER_00: Let's move on to the next.
- 42:28SPEAKER_00: We'll talk about the NFL.
- 42:31SPEAKER_00: We'll just gloss over these pretty quick.
- 42:33SPEAKER_00: Um, we can go over my projections for this weekend.
- 42:38SPEAKER_00: I think that would be kind of fun.
- 42:40SPEAKER_00: Uh obviously the Bills are four and one.
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: Uh Patriots three and two, two and three for the Jets.
- 42:47SPEAKER_00: Dolphins are 0-5.
- 42:49SPEAKER_00: Dolphins um they can't score.
- 42:53SPEAKER_00: Devon A-chan being hurt um is really a bummer.
- 42:58SPEAKER_00: Tyree Kill uh supposedly is coming back someday now, but he I don't think he's gonna return to the Dolphins.
- 43:06SPEAKER_00: Um the Chargers 0-5, Justin Herbert.
- 43:11SPEAKER_00: I kind of feel bad for the guy.
- 43:14SPEAKER_00: Um he's getting a lot of hate.
- 43:18SPEAKER_00: He has a lot of talent.
- 43:20SPEAKER_00: Um he's just not showing it this year.
- 43:25SPEAKER_00: The Titans are obviously 0-5.
- 43:29SPEAKER_00: Cam Ward scares me, man.
- 43:31SPEAKER_00: Um I would love if Cam Ward started to do good.
- 43:35SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm actually doing a Madden rebuild with the Titans right now.
- 43:41SPEAKER_00: And I drafted Lenora Sellers in the second round.
- 43:46SPEAKER_00: And even in the game, Cam Ward was kind of struggling, so I put Lenora Sellers in to play some snaps.
- 43:53SPEAKER_00: Um I hope he figures it out.
- 43:56SPEAKER_00: I hope Cam Ward figures it out.
- 43:58SPEAKER_00: Uh Colonel Town.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: A good option for them.
- 44:02SPEAKER_00: I hope they figure it out.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: The Vikings being 5-0 shocks me to my core.
- 44:08SPEAKER_00: The Eagles being 2-3 really hurts.
- 44:11SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to do with them.
- 44:15SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to say about them.
- 44:19SPEAKER_00: I've not been happy with Nick Siriani.
- 44:21SPEAKER_00: And obviously, this is not the episode where I'm going to talk about the Eagles or anything like this.
- 44:26SPEAKER_00: This is really a get to know me.
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: And then a brief overview on sports and everything going on and my quick opinions.
- 44:33SPEAKER_00: I know I I went on a little rant about Roki, Sasaki, and the Dodgers.
- 44:38SPEAKER_00: I just watched the Dodgers lose a couple hours ago.
- 44:41SPEAKER_00: So I felt very strongly and passionately about it.
- 44:45SPEAKER_00: The Eagles, I'm very disappointed in.
- 44:47SPEAKER_00: Another team that I root for is the Carolina Panthers.
- 44:51SPEAKER_00: Bryce Young is my favorite player in the NFL who's not an Eagle, I would say.
- 44:58SPEAKER_00: I mean, great kid.
- 45:00SPEAKER_00: I mean, good head on his shoulders, never gives up.
- 45:04SPEAKER_00: Just a great human.
- 45:07SPEAKER_00: Just a great human.
- 45:08SPEAKER_00: I like him a lot.
- 45:10SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's cover the games real quick and then we'll go to UFC and then we'll call it a day.
- 45:15SPEAKER_00: Alright, this is week six, of course.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: We have the Seahawks and Broncos.
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: I will not be doing over-unders.
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: I will not be providing betting advice.
- 45:23SPEAKER_00: This is not my betting advice.
- 45:25SPEAKER_00: Do not take this with do not make a parlay out of this.
- 45:29SPEAKER_00: And if you do, don't come after me.
- 45:32SPEAKER_00: I'm not telling you to bet on these.
- 45:34SPEAKER_00: I don't think you should.
- 45:36SPEAKER_00: I do a lot of parlays.
- 45:37SPEAKER_00: I shouldn't say a lot.
- 45:38SPEAKER_00: I do some parlays.
- 45:40SPEAKER_00: They don't hit.
- 45:41SPEAKER_00: They don't hit, so don't trust me.
- 45:43SPEAKER_00: Seahawks Broncos.
- 45:46SPEAKER_00: It's today, Thursday, 6.15.
- 45:51SPEAKER_00: I want to say that the Seahawks win.
- 45:56SPEAKER_00: Bonex has been very rough.
- 46:00SPEAKER_00: Um, he he's not passing over the middle, and I think it has a lot to do with the play calling.
- 46:04SPEAKER_00: I know Sean Payton's taking over the play calling.
- 46:07SPEAKER_00: I think it will be an entertaining game.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: I just think the Seahawks with Sam Darnold back and being healthy and looking good, they're dangerous.
- 46:17SPEAKER_00: If JSN is out, I know he's questionable right now, then maybe the Broncos have a chance.
- 46:24SPEAKER_00: Texans, Jaguars.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: Texans have looked good.
- 46:29SPEAKER_00: CJ Stroud has looked good.
- 46:32SPEAKER_00: They just added Marvin Harrison, which I think is awesome.
- 46:36SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm glad he's out of the Cardinals organization.
- 46:41SPEAKER_00: They were clearly just.
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: I think he is somebody who will have a breakout with another team.
- 46:47SPEAKER_00: I think he needed a change of scenery.
- 46:49SPEAKER_00: I think he's one of those players.
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: But that being said, I think the Jaguars are maybe a top five team in the league, and I don't think the Texans are top ten.
- 47:00SPEAKER_00: I think the Te the Jaguars win that with Trevor Lawrence leading the charge.
- 47:05SPEAKER_00: I have a Trevor Lawrence jersey.
- 47:06SPEAKER_00: I'm a big fan of his.
- 47:08SPEAKER_00: Um, so I think the Jaguars win that one pretty pretty well.
- 47:12SPEAKER_00: Unless the Texans defense steps up, which they haven't this year.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: They have the best defense if their defense rolls, but it hasn't been.
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: Patriots, Jets, I think Drake May is starting to figure it out, and I think he used that, uses that against the Jets this week, and I think he might steamroll them.
- 47:34SPEAKER_00: Um Panthers, Eagles.
- 47:36SPEAKER_00: Um, the two teams I support most in the league.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I support the Eagles a million times more than the Panthers.
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: A million times more than the Panthers.
- 47:46SPEAKER_00: I think the only reason why I'm really support the Panthers at all is because of Bryce Young.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: Um that being said, it's in Philadelphia.
- 47:58SPEAKER_00: The Eagles have been really bad.
- 48:01SPEAKER_00: The Panthers have been okay.
- 48:03SPEAKER_00: They're what are they, two and two?
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: So this will be their fifth game.
- 48:12SPEAKER_00: It makes me a little nervous.
- 48:13SPEAKER_00: Honestly, that coming off of a bye week.
- 48:15SPEAKER_00: I think Jalen Coker will be healthy, and I think that scares me.
- 48:19SPEAKER_00: Um, that being said, go Birds.
- 48:23SPEAKER_00: Go Birds.
- 48:24SPEAKER_00: I'm going with the Eagles.
- 48:25SPEAKER_00: I think the Eagles are gonna bounce back, and we're gonna be three and three.
- 48:28SPEAKER_00: And that's what I gotta say about that, damn it.
- 48:31SPEAKER_00: Uh, Steelers Buccaneers, as much of a as I like Jalen Daniels.
- 48:35SPEAKER_00: I talked about him, KU boy.
- 48:38SPEAKER_00: Um Aaron Rodgers has looked awesome.
- 48:41SPEAKER_00: Aaron Rodgers has looked awesome, and I think he wins that.
- 48:45SPEAKER_00: I think he wins that game.
- 48:47SPEAKER_00: Um, I think that's kind of a fun one, though.
- 48:50SPEAKER_00: I think it's the last year vet versus the young rookie, um, which is a funny thing that that's the first time we're gonna see a rookie quarterback versus the last year in Aaron Rodgers.
- 49:03SPEAKER_00: It's not Fernando Mendoza who's taken first, but it's Jalen Daniels who was undrafted.
- 49:09SPEAKER_00: That's funny.
- 49:10SPEAKER_00: Uh, Ravens Browns, Ravens should win that.
- 49:13SPEAKER_00: I I mean, what do you say?
- 49:16SPEAKER_00: What do you have to say?
- 49:18SPEAKER_00: Like, Lamar Jackson's Lamar Jackson, they have Derrick Henry.
- 49:21SPEAKER_00: It's just not a fair fight.
- 49:23SPEAKER_00: Bears Falcons, I think, is a little interesting.
- 49:27SPEAKER_00: Caleb Williams, is he still hurt?
- 49:30SPEAKER_00: Is he still hurt?
- 49:36SPEAKER_00: He's on track to play.
- 49:40SPEAKER_00: Oof, I would have taken the Falcons.
- 49:42SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take the Bears.
- 49:43SPEAKER_00: If Caleb Williams is gonna play, I think Caleb Williams is a top 10 quarterback in the league.
- 49:48SPEAKER_00: Um I know a lot of people are making fun of him for the injury.
- 49:53SPEAKER_00: It's kind of funny in retrospect that he was crying so much and it almost seemed like it was the end of his career.
- 50:00SPEAKER_00: Um, if he's back and playing and he looks good, they should win that game.
- 50:05SPEAKER_00: Saints Giants.
- 50:07SPEAKER_00: I hope the Saints win for the standing so the Eagles can be somewhat close.
- 50:14SPEAKER_00: Um Tyler Shuck is awesome.
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: Um is Jameis still gonna be quarterback this week, or are they gonna try JJ?
- 50:23SPEAKER_00: They're probably gonna run Jameis because Jameis can't lose.
- 50:26SPEAKER_00: He's he can't lose, he's too good.
- 50:28SPEAKER_00: Um, Saints, I'm taking the Saints.
- 50:30SPEAKER_00: Titans, Colts.
- 50:33SPEAKER_00: Colts Rams, Cardinals.
- 50:36SPEAKER_00: Um, this is so obviously the Rams, it couldn't have been any other way, I don't think.
- 50:43SPEAKER_00: Watch me be wrong.
- 50:45SPEAKER_00: Chargers, Chiefs.
- 50:48SPEAKER_00: I know the Chargers are doing bad.
- 50:53SPEAKER_00: This is the Chiefs coming off of a bye week.
- 50:55SPEAKER_00: If the Chiefs weren't coming off their bye week, I think I would have taken the Chargers to win this game.
- 51:00SPEAKER_00: Even though they're 0 and 5.
- 51:02SPEAKER_00: I think I would have taken them to win this game.
- 51:04SPEAKER_00: I think they would have figured something out.
- 51:06SPEAKER_00: But considering the Chiefs are coming off their bye week, I think the Chiefs win.
- 51:12SPEAKER_00: Bills, Raiders, Raiders have low-key been fun to watch this season with big Kirko chains moving the ball.
- 51:18SPEAKER_00: Um, the Bills are the best team in the league right now, I think.
- 51:21SPEAKER_00: Um, besides the Jaguars.
- 51:24SPEAKER_00: I think those are the two best teams.
- 51:25SPEAKER_00: I think those are the two best, um, in my opinion, have the two best odds to win the Super Bowl this year.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: Cowboys, Packers.
- 51:36SPEAKER_00: Uh, let's go pack go.
- 51:39SPEAKER_00: Boo the Cowboys.
- 51:40SPEAKER_00: Those Cowgirls, I don't like them.
- 51:43SPEAKER_00: Um, my girlfriend's dad dad is a Cowboys fan, so that's funny, but I'll be rooting for the Packers.
- 51:52SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
- 51:53SPEAKER_00: Sorry, Will.
- 51:55SPEAKER_00: Um, Commanders 49ers.
- 51:58SPEAKER_00: 49ers are awesome.
- 51:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, they are awesome.
- 52:01SPEAKER_00: Again, they have the argument to be with the Bills and the Jaguars.
- 52:05SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, they're awesome to watch.
- 52:08SPEAKER_00: I think we're gonna wrap it up with the NFL there.
- 52:11SPEAKER_00: We're coming up on an hour.
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: I did not mean this to be an hour.
- 52:14SPEAKER_00: I was more shooting for like the 35 range, and then I went on talking about um Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers.
- 52:24SPEAKER_00: So that's my fault.
- 52:25SPEAKER_00: UFC.
- 52:26SPEAKER_00: UFC.
- 52:28SPEAKER_00: Saturday, October 17th, this Saturday.
- 52:32SPEAKER_00: Where's this card gonna be at?
- 52:35SPEAKER_00: Rogers, Rogers place.
- 52:37SPEAKER_00: Okay, obviously, Manning it.
- 52:40SPEAKER_00: Joaquin Buckley, Mike Millot.
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: Um we're just gonna go down, see what I'm feeling.
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: Um Cody Chinovic.
- 52:51SPEAKER_00: Never heard of him.
- 52:52SPEAKER_00: So young you.
- 52:54SPEAKER_00: So young you.
- 52:56SPEAKER_00: No, so young you.
- 52:59SPEAKER_00: Um, this guy's undefeated.
- 53:01SPEAKER_00: Where is he coming out of?
- 53:04SPEAKER_00: Is he let's go to Sherdog.
- 53:09SPEAKER_00: I'm a big Sherdog guy.
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: Here's Dana White's contender series knockout, third round.
- 53:16SPEAKER_00: Um yeah.
- 53:18SPEAKER_00: So oh, born July 2020 July 24th.
- 53:22SPEAKER_00: That's my birthday.
- 53:24SPEAKER_00: So you copied me.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
- 53:26SPEAKER_00: We're rooting for that guy.
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: Same birthday.
- 53:28SPEAKER_00: We're ruined for him.
- 53:31SPEAKER_00: Um sorry, so young.
- 53:34SPEAKER_00: Umyssa Gordon versus Chelsea Chandler, don't know either one of them.
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: Actually, I know Croden.
- 53:41SPEAKER_00: We're gonna know Croden.
- 53:43SPEAKER_00: Uh Chad Al Hanir?
- 53:48SPEAKER_00: Alan Al Anna Heleneer?
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 53:51SPEAKER_00: Steven Kazlow.
- 53:53SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do Caslow.
- 53:55SPEAKER_00: Caitlin Choke again, choke again versus Mackenzie Stiller.
- 54:00SPEAKER_00: We'll go Stiller, Javon, Mahabjab versus Joel.
- 54:08SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying that last name.
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: Um, we're gonna go.
- 54:12SPEAKER_00: This is heavyweight, anybody can win.
- 54:14SPEAKER_00: It's Tazo, take whoever you want.
- 54:16SPEAKER_00: Julian LeBlanc versus Nick Galante, Nick Galante, Tannerbourgier versus Joana, Yonita Denise.
- 54:25SPEAKER_00: Denise is really good.
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: I'm taking Denise.
- 54:27SPEAKER_00: Again, do not bet on this.
- 54:29SPEAKER_00: I'm just quickly running over this because this is something that's happening this Saturday.
- 54:35SPEAKER_00: We're going to the main card.
- 54:37SPEAKER_00: Uh, Mantella Nolo versus Nate Landware.
- 54:40SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of players, there are not a lot of fighters that I don't.
- 54:44SPEAKER_00: I'm not familiar with.
- 54:46SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna take Landware.
- 54:48SPEAKER_00: I like watching Nate Landware fight.
- 54:51SPEAKER_00: Uh Luis Jordan versus Timmy Kwamba.
- 54:56SPEAKER_00: We're taking Timmy.
- 54:57SPEAKER_00: Mark Andre Berriot versus Kyodacas.
- 55:01SPEAKER_00: Kyodacas.
- 55:02SPEAKER_00: We're taking Kyodakis.
- 55:04SPEAKER_00: Kyle Nelson versus Christian Perez.
- 55:06SPEAKER_00: Perez is gonna win that.
- 55:08SPEAKER_00: And then we're going for the fights that people care to watch.
- 55:14SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm sorry, I don't really care to watch any of those fights.
- 55:17SPEAKER_00: I will be watching those fights, I'm sure.
- 55:19SPEAKER_00: Aaron Blanchfield versus Jasmine juice the- I can't say her last name.
- 55:27SPEAKER_00: Jastavic, yes.
- 55:28SPEAKER_00: Aaron Blanchfield should win this.
- 55:30SPEAKER_00: She should utilize her wrestling.
- 55:32SPEAKER_00: Um, I think she's kind of gotten away from it.
- 55:35SPEAKER_00: She's obviously the younger fighter in here.
- 55:37SPEAKER_00: Um, she's hardly fighting, which I think is what's killing her.
- 55:43SPEAKER_00: Um, is she hardly fighting?
- 55:46SPEAKER_00: She needs to use her wrestling and she needs to submit.
- 55:48SPEAKER_00: Uh Jasmine Judavicius here.
- 55:51SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah, and I think she can.
- 55:56SPEAKER_00: I think she should.
- 55:58SPEAKER_00: And then this is really the only fight that I'm really looking forward to.
- 56:01SPEAKER_00: I think Blanchfield should win this if she's at the top of her game.
- 56:05SPEAKER_00: Not even worried about Buckley versus Mike Millot.
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: Buckley has kind of fallen off.
- 56:11SPEAKER_00: Um Sean Brady, obviously one of my guys.
- 56:15SPEAKER_00: Usman, there's nothing really you can do about it.
- 56:18SPEAKER_00: But if your only two fights in the past two years, basically, or losses, then come on, dude.
- 56:26SPEAKER_00: Come on.
- 56:27SPEAKER_00: And then the fights before that were Wonder Boy when he's retiring and Colby Covington.
- 56:33SPEAKER_00: I have a lot of hope for Joaquin Buckley.
- 56:35SPEAKER_00: I think he could be really good.
- 56:38SPEAKER_00: He just kind of needs to lock it in.
- 56:40SPEAKER_00: Mike Millant, a Canadian boy.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: I kind of love a Canadian guy.
- 56:44SPEAKER_00: Uh obviously Canadian, so I'm a big hockey guy.
- 56:52SPEAKER_00: Um his brothers in the NHL.
- 56:55SPEAKER_00: Jeff Millant, so I don't think he wins.
- 57:01SPEAKER_00: I think it should be Joaquin Buckley, and I think it should um be alright.
- 57:07SPEAKER_00: I think he may be a knockout.
- 57:09SPEAKER_00: That would be awesome to watch.
- 57:11SPEAKER_00: Another card I'm super excited for.
- 57:13SPEAKER_00: U of C33.
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: Obviously, super excited for this.
- 57:17SPEAKER_00: Piotr Yon is another one of my favorite fighters, and so is Volk.
- 57:21SPEAKER_00: So obviously super excited for this card.
- 57:27SPEAKER_00: Um, I did not watch this card.
- 57:31SPEAKER_00: I watched the highlights of this card.
- 57:33SPEAKER_00: Great card in retrospect, but I didn't watch it.
- 57:37SPEAKER_00: 333 should be really awesome.
- 57:40SPEAKER_00: Um, I think next week I'll have a more detailed episode for you guys.
- 57:45SPEAKER_00: This is coming up on an hour.
- 57:46SPEAKER_00: We're 58 minutes in.
- 57:48SPEAKER_00: Um, we're gonna end with this Bible verse again.
- 57:53SPEAKER_00: So let's go back to me.
- 57:55SPEAKER_00: Um it's it's me.
- 57:56SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm big screen.
- 57:57SPEAKER_00: I know you audio listeners never saw me.
- 58:00SPEAKER_00: You probably never want to see me.
- 58:02SPEAKER_00: But we'll read this Bible verse again.
- 58:05SPEAKER_00: Mark 16, 15.
- 58:07SPEAKER_00: He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
- 58:14SPEAKER_00: Let's go preach, people.
- 58:16SPEAKER_00: All right, thank you guys for tuning in for the very first episode of Fan Dan Talk Sports.
- 58:21SPEAKER_00: I'm Aiden, I am your host.
- 58:24SPEAKER_00: I appreciate you all for watching.
- 58:26SPEAKER_00: Goodbye.
