Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: Will you and I have been doing this podcast for over a year now?
- 0:03[SPEAKER_01]: It started as you were just part of the everyday podcast, and then you got your own thing.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_01]: Five questions of now.
- 0:10[SPEAKER_01]: And as our second season starts to begin, we have a solution.
- 0:16[SPEAKER_01]: We will run them from show, or something like that.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_01]: I'm starting on this.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_01]: So today we'll be doing a little differently.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_01]: But it's pretty much the same day.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have topic for you to talk about the national sports landscape.
- 0:30[SPEAKER_01]: on this podcast number three twenty eight point three what we will temporarily call the will rather virtue
- 0:50[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we got lots of cool stuff coming up on the second season of the central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to take a little bit of a bigger role now that you've graduated college.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_01]: We got another month or so to figure out exactly what that's going to be.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_01]: But for today, let's talk some topics.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_01]: We will save baseball for the last topic since we are in the bottom of the fifth, and there's probably going to be some stuff to talk about here with the All Star game.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_01]: And then we will talk after the game ends.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_01]: Our final topic will be the second half of the season.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_01]: Question number one, the patient's roster as it stands, happy.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I would say happy is necessarily the phrase I would use because I feel like happy you know that they're committed to trying to make another run next year and they went and bought somebody in
- 1:45[SPEAKER_00]: I don't
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: content.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they're going to be competitive.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be a good team.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: I would say that if I had to put an over under on win total this year, it would probably be somewhere in maybe forty four.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: Give me forty four.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think is probably about what I'm I'm going to say over under.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: I would say the over.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: I think there'll be a little closer to fifty, but obviously Halle Burton's going to be a big loss.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's the, you know, that this draw the stirs the team's drink for a lack of better word and you just have to be happy and that Kevin Richards at the helm you've got faith in his ability to construct a roster to build a competent competitive team which he's really done his entire time is the Pacers
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: you know, ring leader.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that to be really happy would have been going and making a splash play and getting somebody that says we are committed to trying to, it's good.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: It's not Uber likely, but it could.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: You obviously, the after some really grabs up, you know, that's another.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: time for teams to reassess kind of where they're at and where they want to be so I think that you have to trust the process and just know that you know not this year but the year after they're going to be competing with Tyre's hopefully healthy again to try to win the finals that's that's now
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: I think the baseline of this team is judged.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think when you get there and now with the success and the roster as it is, I think that is the measure of success now.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's no longer making it to the Eastern Conference finals.
- 3:35[SPEAKER_00]: No longer just making the playoffs.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's being a contender.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_01]: Are you interested in a one year stop stop gap at point guard or do you just nim hard McConnell Quentin Jackson is that okay with you?
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't you let nim hard take the reins I mean what you the what you bring in a stop gap okay so then you're stunting been madder and he stays on the bench you bring nim hard in madder and probably starts why not see what what matter and looks like it's a starter I just I see no reason why
- 4:04[SPEAKER_00]: You would bring in a stopgap.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: Is there anybody out there on the free agent market right now that you say really elevates this team to a finals and understand them.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: Damien Lillard.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: Is he going to be healthy?
- 4:20[SPEAKER_01]: any interest in Chris Paul for one year.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think that you know, the veteran leadership could be cool, but it's not like Nim hard with some slouch.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's not a slouch.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: And he's been really good when he's had time at point.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's better at one anyway.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you just give him the range and say, Andrew Nimhard, we have invested money in you.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: We want to continue to invest money in you, prove us that you're worth
- 4:43[SPEAKER_00]: a hundred twenty five million dollar contract prove that go out and do it.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: You know that matter and is going to be.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: Um, a key piece of this roster in this lineup as constructed next year.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I just see no reason.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think a stock gap really helps this team at all.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the bottom line in my opinion will.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: If these four guys.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: Have the growth in their game that we expect.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_01]: They could win fifty games, and that's Andrew Nimhard as a point guard.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_01]: Jerry's Walker obviously, Benedict Mather and obviously, and Isaiah Jackson, what does he have?
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I, I feel like those four, they're young.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: I, I'm, I'm still not, can,
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: convinced I guess to say that Jackson will probably star Jay Huff may start initially with Jackson getting us getting under his feet again and stuff.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_01]: But you don't need a center who doesn't rebound against starting at center.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I'm not saying that Huff is the starter for the long term.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: I'm simply saying that at the beginning of the season maybe you're going to try to limit Jackson's image.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_01]: Perfect off the bench I think.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_01]: And he's going to be after game fifteen probably but I feel like you want to build jacks and up to speed the last thing you want is another Can you can you imagine the lobs that are gonna come from nim hard with the lob passator that he is as a point guard I think that just going to be jackson and and Walker and Oby top and and Benedict Maddler and and this is pretty crazy
- 6:22[SPEAKER_01]: Me Smith.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, pretty crazy athletic team.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: They are very springy, very jumpy, very explosive.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think for the most part, which I think do feel like is going to be something that is going to change a little bit, because I don't what necessarily say that Tyrease and Turner might be going to.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_01]: Well, in Seattle, not that they're bad athletes, but that's how good the rest of the roster is.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think it.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's there's obviously different forms of athleticism.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: That's been known for forever.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Tyrease is just a different type of athlete than Obie Topping is, but you really wouldn't want to stop and running.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: Tyreases.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: Explosiveness.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I've said that Obie Topping should be the tie-in for the Colts.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_00]: You throw a lob up to him in the end zone.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: There's nobody but Obie Topping and bringing it down.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think that, I mean, Jackson, Madder and Neesmith, Walker,
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: Johnny Furfie.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: Those are all guys that can play the game.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_01]: Johnny Furfie eventually.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_01]: I think the summer's shown us that he's not quite ready for the rotation.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, but eventually Johnny Furfie is going to be a player, man.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: He can play above the rim and you've seen that with that poster, which was just absolute.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_01]: And he had two of them.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, ludicrous.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_01]: Two of them.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's just he's clearly a plus athlete.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_01]: And do I just one, two, three ending?
- 7:40[SPEAKER_00]: So I just feel like that it's one of those situations where it's now you're going to get to see that.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_00]: With the way the pitchers opening this team up and saying, you know, youth, show us.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: Show us why you deserve an extension.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: Show us why you deserve to be a major player on this team.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: Come, twenty, twenty, twenty, twenty, seven, which realistically is when you assume that this team is going to be ready to compete again for the finals.
- 8:07[SPEAKER_01]: What else is on your mind on a national level?
- 8:10[SPEAKER_01]: You want to talk some indie car?
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: You want to talk some cold?
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: You want to talk some major league baseball?
- 8:14[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do a little bit more of that after this.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to preview the second half of the season in the second part of this podcast.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_01]: Well, but whatever you want to talk about.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: I've been really fever.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: I would say I've been more than pleased with Fox's coverage.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think their coverage is getting better of any car.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_00]: I know that that's something that we've talked about.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: you know the short track.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: Saturday and Sunday delivered.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_00]: It was it was exciting.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_01]: It was not supposed to in a day.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: No, you know that the passing there is way way down, but that didn't stop the drama did it.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think at all.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: You feel for a conner daily.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: He really ran too good races and just kind of and Joseph new guy just did.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's just.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_00]: That guy can't catch a break to be completely honest.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: I know that you know there's not a ton of team-pinsky lovers out there anymore, but boy.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_01]: And Sunday, I've never, I've been watching this sport for forty-five years.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen a guy get stuck out on a yellow twice.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: Twice after going through the flip.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_00]: I understand him being a little upset after that one.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: You go through what was that race, eleven?
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: Twelve.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: Twelve.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_00]: You go through twelve races in the what if of Joseph New Garden.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about somebody that's top five and standings of just a few things go different.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: And he cars a first class operation and it's like I said that it's I think it's good that Fox is delivering on their promise to show that and provide good coverage, which it was it really was lacking there for the better part of the entire season.
- 9:56[SPEAKER_01]: And this weekend was
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was really good.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: Going back to the ABC years, they never went back in the pack and showed the most important fights in the.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: There wasn't a second that there wasn't a good battle on the screen even though it was a hard place to pass.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_01]: Phenomenal job by Fox.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that you're excited.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I feel like, pillow at this point's all, but locked up is what this will be third.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: third and a row fourth and five years.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: He's locked it up.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's just.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: he's been out for the whole family.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I was out question.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's I don't know.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's almost getting to the point where he's so dominant where you you almost feel like it's he going to want to go to F one just for the challenge just just a challenge himself again because I just don't look man.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: He's being challenged every weekend.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like these are easy wins will.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: I don't I agree with that to an extent, but it just feels like even less of a challenge if you're one one of the best.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_00]: It really just feels to me like if.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: if he is there at the end and has any chance of winning if he's in the top five with twenty laps to go it's he's winning he's just winning the race I've been yet to been
- 11:15[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean he gave it up, but you know that was kind of a one-off really any other time that he's basically he's seven for eight and in shutting races.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_00]: This is where the best competition is well.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with that.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_00]: I just you just hope that you know, does he say, you know, what maybe I want to try to go race and ask or I doubt it.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that because it is like he's very happy where he
- 11:39[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad he's a good ambassador for he brings the European and international crowd plus he speaks really good English and is able to connect with the American crowd the Pacers fan he's really gotten involved he's also won the five hundred now which only adds to his there's always been this consternation over foreign drivers of Americans don't connect with him
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: But then Tony can on came in and just prove that.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Ali, OK, man, and prove that.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_01]: Just prove that.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_01]: And now you got guys like below in Patto and they connect just as well with the fans as any American driver.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I brand on in favor of St.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: Louis Cardinal just gets an infield base hit.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_00]: Love that.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that it's the connection.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's the fact that I think Paolo's super charismatic.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think he tried.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_00]: He's an exciting driver.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: He's fun to watch.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: He's just fun to be involved with.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the content that he did, the mediator he went on after he won the five hundred, which I know is customary.
- 12:42[SPEAKER_00]: But he did a really good job.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: And he just opened the light up to Andy Carr that was so refreshing.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: He's excited to be, was excited to be a five hundred champion.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: He swept Andy.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_00]: He swept the month of May.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like that he is
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: at this point where it's kind of the kingness court in the rest of the series is this court and I don't really know if there's anybody there that can say hey I'm actually going to challenge him week in a week out you're going into next season can you really confidently say that anybody is going to
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: even give him a shot of a run for championship.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_00]: I can't say that.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's going to be the betting heavy betting favorite even going into next year.
- 13:24[SPEAKER_00]: The year after as long he's on this series.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you're talking about somebody.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_00]: How old is he?
- 13:32[SPEAKER_00]: I mean you're talking about somebody if he drives till he's forty I mean eight series like Mario and Dreddy and AJ forty does it does not feel outrageous it doesn't feel crazy to think and talk about I just think that he's just on the cuff and actually now that he's uh... competent at oval yep
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: and he has i think that he's really come to us out on the ovals that was obviously uh... an area of concern in area where you know uh... chip can ask he definitely said hey we need to improve him on these ovals we need to one have better strategy form given better car and to just give them a better opportunity to
- 14:11[SPEAKER_00]: on the offseason train and work on those oval runs and I think that this year is coming obviously at the you knew he had the town and you knew that he had the aptitude to be able to adapt or change was about a time he's one you know this is going to be a fourth series win so he's obviously at you know a top but
- 14:32[SPEAKER_00]: Just seeing how proficient he has been has definitely been something where it's like, okay, we expected him to be good.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_00]: Did we expect him to be this good, this quick on Owls?
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: Who was that who homework will?
- 14:45[SPEAKER_01]: Peter Lanzo.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_01]: Peter Lanzo.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: Nationally got five and nothing.
- 14:48[SPEAKER_01]: We'd love to see that.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_01]: As long as it's not a cudd.
- 14:52[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm not a huge Peter Lanzo fan.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, still still myself, but a Brandon Donovan with a base hit and around score in the all-star games.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_00]: Good representation for the cardinal.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_01]: So Andrew Abbott, perfect on two three in the reds.
- 15:07[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, we'll get a LED daily cruise here at some point.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's got a suck being the one guy that just gets shelled at the all-star game.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_00]: That's got a size.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like you get to go to the all-star game and you know, it's too bad for that guy, but at least you got to go to an all-star game.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, how many games are the reds going to win the central buy?
- 15:27[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still, it's, I, we keep saying this.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_00]: It's the brewers are winning.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_00]: I listen to Paul and Cody and you, your podcast and stuff.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, I'm one a little disappointed that you didn't say, well, we'll, we'll, we're the furthest said the brewers are going to win.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: I should have, the, the, the, the, the NL said, as we said.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_00]: They were just going to be here.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_00]: It's like Michael Myers stalking its prey.
- 15:51[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of, you know, if you've watched the.
- 15:53[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like a zombie.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: The recent Halloween movies that have come out and it where he's just walking, you know, just walking them down.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what's going to happen.
- 16:03[SPEAKER_00]: The cubs all spudder, the brewers will take us here.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_00]: Take the lead of the division.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_00]: They won't give it up.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: because that's just what the brewers do, whether anybody in the NL Central likes it.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_00]: So the reds, you know, you were talking about how good they were playing there for a while, but they've come back down to Earth a little bit.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back and we'll talk NFL for the first time in a long time.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_01]: Coming up, Will and I are going to talk a little NFL.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_01]: Then we got some fever coming up and
- 16:33[SPEAKER_01]: We recorded this as we were watching the Major League All-Star game and we have some opinions on how the All-Star game concluded and we look ahead to the second half of the season.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_01]: All coming up on the Will Rutherford Show on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_01]: Love a regular day and time for you for the Will Rutherford Show or whatever we decide to call it in the next few weeks.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: So we're actually going to start talking a little bit about a sport that I felt like for
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: the better first half of uh... centrally a sports reports opening season was basically the one thing we talked about that's right it finally starts to feel like there's actually an NFL game this month at july thirty first all of the game well yes so uh... two weeks yes only a few weeks away that we have NFL football and it feels good that uh...
- 17:27[SPEAKER_00]: You know, fantasy football is going to start again, LED other crews at the place.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to take just a quick break to end.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm too hard to get always up.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_00]: But sorry for that brief interruption.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_00]: But with that being said, I mean, I feel like it's so invigorating and exciting.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: Fantasy football getting started again.
- 17:46[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, that's got to make everyone happy.
- 17:48[SPEAKER_00]: Just the fact that it feels like the NFL has capitalized so much on this massive jump and viewership and publicity that the league has.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: It just feels like this is going to be the biggest NFL season yet.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm so glad we're on the cusp of it.
- 18:06[SPEAKER_00]: So Greg, I am here to ask you, what are you most looking forward to with this NFL season?
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's so much, as a Colts fan, I would say that I'm probably looking around the league for more storylines.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_01]: Other than Anthony Richardson's going to be a very interesting, I'm a little put-off by the Colts right now.
- 18:28[SPEAKER_01]: Just don't care that much about what they do, because it's been so ugly.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_01]: I have a feeling that next year we'll have a rallying call when we have a new team president, new owners, new everything.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be more of a twenty twenty-six store.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think the lions have the lions recover from their losses.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: And in general, I think watching what happens in the NFC central will be very interesting because all four teams are good.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: potentially.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_00]: I feel, I mean, obviously I'm a huge cult fan too.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if off-putting is the way I want to put it.
- 19:12[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I'm more of ambivalent.
- 19:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably the right way.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily feel like I am
- 19:21[SPEAKER_00]: somebody that has hated the organization ever I've honestly I've been a huge supporter I was a big supporter last year when basically everybody was here to kind of just crap on the cults in a lot of ways I stood behind stake in the decisions they made and
- 19:38[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I think this season, you know, with Jim or Sace passing is definitely being played now for a bigger reason.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to see the direction that his daughters take this organization.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's they were, they've been behind the times a little bit.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_00]: And I feel like the invigorating new energy, young ownership might help
- 20:01[SPEAKER_00]: kickstart this franchise back to relevancy.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: Let me ask you a question.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_01]: Start of the twenty twenty six season.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_01]: What percent chance Peyton Manning is the team president.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_00]: I personally I know that you're been big on it.
- 20:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's low.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see this Omaha productions and everything that he has outside of.
- 20:24[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's why it's taken so long.
- 20:26[SPEAKER_00]: I know, but I just feel as if why
- 20:30[SPEAKER_00]: Why now?
- 20:31[SPEAKER_00]: Like he has got everything.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_01]: If he loves the cults and he'd like to turn him into winners, it's a project just like John Elweig.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, John Elweig didn't need to.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_00]: You know, but the kids are still in Denver.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't graduated yet.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like is he going to do both?
- 20:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's a different world, man.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think it depends.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not talking about him being a general manager.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about him being a team president.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_01]: I ring his own general manager.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: I would say I would say I would put it at maybe ten percent.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'm never going to say it can't happen, but I don't.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: I just feel like the, what's the feeling?
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: How can it with the manning cast and how hands on and stuff he's been?
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't feel like that it is something that I see necessarily happening.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's always planned.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_00]: I did necessarily think that Tom Brady was probably going to after the Fox deal.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_00]: I really think that he was probably going to be joining an internship group at the radio.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess anything can happen, like I said, but I don't know.
- 21:27[SPEAKER_01]: I do feel like if I think it's just as good a chance he ends up doing it in Denver in some capacity, joining that organization.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_01]: But I really think
- 21:37[SPEAKER_01]: the reason that the earth says waited this year and said let's stick with stichon and ballard is because they have something else planned for next year something that they couldn't do until next year and if i was going to guess that's what it would be just i mean i
- 21:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you could have you could have made the argument that style or that stichon and baller I guess you could say that after all the runway you've given them stichon less than baller I mean baller it's been with the organization for a while now with little to no success meant was only stichon second years the coach sure it was underwhelming to say the least but it's not like they've been they've not been awful either it's not like that he's had to you know I think it's great this year in the regime could
- 22:27[SPEAKER_00]: I do feel I don't see I don't think that happens.
- 22:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think that if a huge general manager comes in they're going to want to have their guy.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: So if Ballard's gone I feel like honestly even for the stake of Stikein.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_00]: It's either one one of two things is going to happen either they're going to get rid of fire both of them and get rid of both of them or or Stikein's going to pick out his GM and the culture committed to Stikein and we're committed to him for three or four years.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_00]: I believe that that he signed a contract extension.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know how that works and stuff.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's not really ever turned a team away from firing a coach before.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_00]: But I feel as if it's either one of those two things are going to happen.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_00]: They're they're really I see no situation where we're ballered gets fired and stake in is not either of course.
- 23:16[SPEAKER_00]: Intimately involved with the GM hiring process or he is also fired himself.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_00]: which is to really know fall of his own.
- 23:23[SPEAKER_00]: The team, his leadership's been poor, but at the same time that the roster's, it's not like the roster's been built for him to be over successful either.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if his leadership's been poor.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_01]: If this year's his success, I could see you say I'm his leadership's been good all along.
- 23:39[SPEAKER_01]: He's done all the right thing.
- 23:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's pushed all the right buttons, but that means he'd have to have a really good season.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, and I, as I've said, the easiest, the South was going to be to win was last year.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: I don't envision that Jacksonville's going to be four and thirteen again.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: I don't envision that the Titans are going to have top five defense again and have the number one pick on the draft.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_00]: I don't envision.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_00]: See, I think that I still don't think the Texans are going to be that good.
- 24:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why.
- 24:11[SPEAKER_00]: I can see it going.
- 24:12[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really.
- 24:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't see why I don't think that strad.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_00]: You saw, I think you saw a lot closer to what strad was last year than, than rookie year.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_01]: I think that you saw the limitations and stuff where he's feeling potential there, though is for them to be up there with Buffalo.
- 24:30[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, I'm saying that they could go either way.
- 24:33[SPEAKER_00]: But they only, they only, they were what ten and seven last year and won the South with really little to no competition.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_00]: So I just don't see the division being bad enough again where it's prime for the taking.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think the cults are going to have to win eleven games to think about winning the division.
- 24:47[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do an oldie, but a goodie.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: Top five most likely teams to win the Super Bowl this year.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_01]: No order.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: No order.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the bills are there.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_00]: No doubt.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like the Eagles, I mean, they're the reigning demanding, although I feel like that there are, as I've been a big proponent of since like last November, there are one really bad situation away from explosion explosion explosion.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_01]: I agree at one hundred percent with you on that.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: We've been talking about this last year.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_00]: We really have.
- 25:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think that I don't know.
- 25:22[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel as confident in the chiefs.
- 25:24[SPEAKER_00]: For some reason, I just, maybe it's their time has come.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_00]: A team that I think has a really good chance to be right there.
- 25:35[SPEAKER_00]: It's the Ravens, they're a team that I garner the conversation.
- 25:39[SPEAKER_01]: Some day, you got to think Lamar is going to win one.
- 25:41[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like you'd be ignorant to not say that that Washington is probably not in that conversation.
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: Depends on how Daniels develops.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_01]: Let me throw some out your chargers.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_00]: I there, Dark War.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say my two dark horses.
- 25:56[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I want to say.
- 25:58[SPEAKER_00]: Or in the top five, but to be our Oliver mentioned, I think Denver and the chargers are both going to be very, very good.
- 26:04[SPEAKER_01]: Packers.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_00]: I still was I was more sold on Jordan love coming into last year than I am now.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to say maybe not the lions are right there in that conversation although I do think losing both coordinators.
- 26:18[SPEAKER_00]: You could see a slight downturn this year as far as success and then they rebound.
- 26:24[SPEAKER_00]: The Vikings are also really in that conversation.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_00]: The Vikings are probably
- 26:28[SPEAKER_00]: My fifth team.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to give Arnold will mention to the chargers in the Broncos, and I think the Vikings have the chance to be really, really good, but they also have a rookie quarterback.
- 26:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, for all intents and purposes, and you've not seen him and how he's played.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_01]: And there were questions about him when he was drafted.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel like if he answers and checks all the boxes, but to me, I feel like that KOC has more than proven that he can win games with just about any.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_00]: quarterback play I'm he won with with the pastor not so I don't think he's going to be hamstrung by who the quarterback is if McCarthy's competent they're going to be good we'll be right back welcome back to the central Indian sports report we are on segment
- 27:16[SPEAKER_00]: Three A, three B at this point.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_00]: We've been all over the place, but that's okay.
- 27:21[SPEAKER_00]: All star games.
- 27:22[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we're gonna be all about.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever, whatever the sports topics are, that's what we're gonna be talking about.
- 27:29[SPEAKER_00]: And the sports topic that we are going to talk about right now is the Indiana fever, who just won their game tonight against the Connecticut sun.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: That was on live television, ESPN.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_00]: Three in a row.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_00]: They are turning in corner.
- 27:41[SPEAKER_00]: I think they look a little better.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, John said that they, you know, it was a black game, but they played a bad team and they really should have won.
- 27:50[SPEAKER_00]: I have not looked at the stats yet.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_00]: We've been watching the All-Star Game at Studio Twenty Two.
- 27:55[SPEAKER_00]: We've not been live with the fever, but Greg is now getting on to look at the box score.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be interested to see if Caitlin shot a little better this evening.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: She did not.
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: worse worse ah boy it's uh it's really kind of turning into a bit of a runaway for right now she's really not shooting the ball well she had that stretch where she was turning the ball over too much kind of clean that up and the shooting is struggled and is not really cleaned up at all so it's definitely something I'm a little concerned with and we talked a little bit about the shot selection earlier off air and I do feel like Greg you you make a really good point if you'd like to go in to detail a little bit more about that it just take better shots um
- 28:39[SPEAKER_01]: You need to think time and situation better.
- 28:41[SPEAKER_01]: There are times and situations to shoot those thirty footers to get the crowd into the game.
- 28:47[SPEAKER_01]: But most of the time, a thirty footer is a bad shot when all you can move in seven feet closer and get the same amount of points.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with that.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_00]: We talked.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_00]: My point was, you know, Caitlyn doesn't really have a will establish mid-range game at all.
- 29:02[SPEAKER_00]: Really outside of layups.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_01]: She's she can get to the glass at will.
- 29:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's that's fun.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_01]: Don't shut out over for the National League.
- 29:13[SPEAKER_00]: Brent Rucker fresh off the all star game decides he is going to go yard after he got absolutely host last night in missing the second round by less than an inch.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so he got his get back there.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_00]: That's definitely much better than winning the home run derby.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_00]: I'm proud about the game.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_01]: Let me give you some stats.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_01]: Kelsey Mitchell big night.
- 29:37[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty points eight of thirteen shooting Natasha Howard.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_01]: Two games on a row, she seemed to be more under control and starting to figure out her role in the team.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_01]: Eighteen points, eight of eleven, thirteen rebounds for Natasha Howard.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_01]: That's huge for them to get that from dinner.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_01]: Kate on card, fourteen points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and man can cheat through a pass.
- 30:01[SPEAKER_01]: And another big night for Sophie Countingham off the bench.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_01]: I believe her fourth straight double figure game, eleven points.
- 30:07[SPEAKER_01]: She was four for six from the field.
- 30:10[SPEAKER_01]: Two for three from the three point line, and now let me get to Caitlin Clark's shooting stats, four for fourteen, one for seven from deep.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I feel like it, you know, kind of going back to what we were talking about, you know, without a well-established fifteen foot game, that's kind of a marker for players.
- 30:30[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you go back and watch that playoff run, games that Tyrease came out and shot poorly early from beyond the arc, where did he usually go and get that first bucket?
- 30:39[SPEAKER_00]: You got it right around the free-throw line and then it's seemingly
- 30:42[SPEAKER_00]: It helped him dial in behind the arc a little bit and he was not a great three-point shooter.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not that's to that's to know Avail to say that he was some incredible three-point shooter.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_00]: He obviously is quite talented.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_00]: He's the best deepball shooter in the league, but you know, he was a little inefficient, but I do feel like there is something to be said with hitting your mark and getting that fifteen-footer falling first to get a little feel.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_00]: You know, she's very... Let her show at it.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_00]: You, you hope, but I mean, she'll add it.
- 31:12[SPEAKER_01]: And she's more than capable of having a mid range game.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's a matter of adding it to her.
- 31:18[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I agree.
- 31:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I think it's one of those where it needs to be maybe a little less time on the thirty footers, maybe a little bit more time on the fifteen footers.
- 31:27[SPEAKER_00]: But I also understand, like you said, you know, the thirty footer can be beneficial.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: It can be exciting.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_00]: It can definitely energize a crowd to get the team back in.
- 31:35[SPEAKER_00]: It started to run.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, I feel like if you're the fever right now, you're just really glad that Kelsey Mitchell's been that study heartbeat that you've needed that Natasha Howard has took a step forward and is now playing a pivotal role on this team.
- 31:50[SPEAKER_00]: you know, lexie holes, I think been a little underwhelming, I think, you know, that makes you the little things.
- 31:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she does, but I feel like they kind of are starting, it's one of those where you're expecting her to kind of make that, that make that next leap for them to really jump into contention.
- 32:05[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Sophie Cunningham, you know, double digits off the bench.
- 32:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of what you expected.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's kind of what she's year four for, you know, I know that sounds, you know, it's not just credit to double double game, but there are double figure game, but let's also recognize that
- 32:20[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's job too.
- 32:22[SPEAKER_00]: She's got to be that sixth man off the bench and so that's an important role that she has to play.
- 32:28[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the fever if they can win these ugly games just getting to play off.
- 32:32[SPEAKER_00]: So you feel like if you don't want to play him in a five game series and you definitely don't want to play him if Caitlyn's playing well at all.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like she's still on a bit of a minutes restriction with twenty eight of the forty.
- 32:46[SPEAKER_01]: So Boston and Mitchell played thirty three piece.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_01]: Boston only took six shots.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_01]: Eleven point six rebounds.
- 32:55[SPEAKER_01]: She's been a lot of her time and found trouble.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, but that is the consequence of being a big sometimes it happens.
- 33:02[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, A.B.
- 33:03[SPEAKER_00]: has been really good too.
- 33:04[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she has been honestly, maybe she's been the best player on this team so far.
- 33:11[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think very much today official, uh, Alia Boston Day in the city of Boston.
- 33:17[SPEAKER_01]: Very cool for her.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 33:19[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, of course, uh, the game was played in Boston tonight between them and the Connecticut sun.
- 33:24[SPEAKER_01]: The one team, by the way,
- 33:27[SPEAKER_01]: I hear a lot of complaining from fever fans about other teams and mugging Caitlin and there's something to it for sure.
- 33:33[SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about it.
- 33:34[SPEAKER_01]: And then the officiating has no doubt about it.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: But the one team that's been to me just dirty was the sun.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm glad they beat them.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, obviously that was her welcome to the WMBA game.
- 33:45[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they played the son and a team that was really expected to be awesome last year and they were and they kind of, you know, took it to a weren't I feel like it was definitely one of those where, you know, the solo we beat, we beat the favorite beat Caitlyn Clark.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_00]: So now we get the the freedom to kind of talk shit and say whatever we want, you know, I do feel like the conversation around Caitlyn has to change
- 34:08[SPEAKER_00]: Not only for her sake, but for the league's sake in general, the viatility that the league has right now surrounding Angel Reefs and Caitlyn Clark has to change, that you cannot have
- 34:20[SPEAKER_00]: your your face is a beleague even if you don't want them to be it even if you don't want Angel race to be the face of the WMBA like and or not she's she's a part of the story she's a major player of the part of the story love it and and they're always has to be a villain arc with anyone and I don't who is the villain I don't know that that we can really come to please I can see it from both sides I think you absolutely can too I feel
- 34:48[SPEAKER_00]: just the social media surrounding the conversation and stuff.
- 34:52[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's getting to a point where I it's just not held.
- 34:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's a toxic environment.
- 34:58[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you've got other professional.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_01]: She's a young player and the
- 35:05[SPEAKER_01]: veterans are giving her a hard time.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I see most of the time.
- 35:09[SPEAKER_01]: Now Connecticut was different.
- 35:10[SPEAKER_01]: They poked her in the eye.
- 35:12[SPEAKER_01]: They shoved her to the ground.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_01]: It was a little different.
- 35:15[SPEAKER_01]: But most of the time to me, it's just they, hey, we're not going to just let you take over this league.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_01]: Like they did the Larry Bird, like they did to magic.
- 35:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think for me, the conversation is like Michael Jordan.
- 35:23[SPEAKER_00]: It's like Piston.
- 35:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's even outside of it.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's more of the the conversation, the media surround.
- 35:29[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you have, you have, you know, media pundits and companies that are threatening to
- 35:35[SPEAKER_00]: Physically assault each other because and I'm all about violence.
- 35:37[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna be wrong.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're on Twitter.
- 35:39[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna because we're defending Angel Racer Caitlin Clark and we're gonna come to blows about it like come on.
- 35:44[SPEAKER_00]: That's just the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
- 35:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the lead.
- 35:46[SPEAKER_02]: I love both of them.
- 35:47[SPEAKER_00]: The league has to embrace it.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_00]: But let's not forget let's not act like Caitlin's not a shit talk.
- 35:53[SPEAKER_01]: No, she is a shit talker in the league.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I'm not saying that I'm saying that you know who is the villain who's actually the villain I actually
- 36:02[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we're fever fans over and about it.
- 36:04[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to say, oh, it's, you know, it's angel, but, you know, honestly, Caitlyn talks her talk and walks her walk and does whatever she wants to with, and I think that, you know, it's healthy to push back and get inside as well.
- 36:17[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I will say is that Angel Reese is not anywhere near the caliber player.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_00]: Caitlyn Clark is, and I don't.
- 36:24[SPEAKER_01]: She has the potential.
- 36:26[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see it.
- 36:27[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's, uh,
- 36:31[SPEAKER_00]: She's just never going to be polish enough for it to look pretty.
- 36:34[SPEAKER_00]: I know that she's going to be a great rebounder.
- 36:36[SPEAKER_00]: She'll figure it out.
- 36:37[SPEAKER_00]: She's going to be a force in the paint, but she's just never going to be polish enough.
- 36:40[SPEAKER_00]: It's a ball handler and as a shooter to ever make it look good.
- 36:44[SPEAKER_00]: It will never be visually a step.
- 36:45[SPEAKER_01]: I think if she figures out that she shouldn't be a ball handler and a shooter, she'll be at her off.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but then it's just always going to be.
- 36:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a different conversation because they're just going to play two entirely different positions.
- 37:00[SPEAKER_01]: Now, come on, now let's, you know, she should aim to be a Tim Duncan pipe player.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I mean, everything inside of fifteen feet.
- 37:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I don't, I agree with that.
- 37:11[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously, if you had to pick a guy to base how you wanted bigs to play in basketball, always, I think that Tim Duncan would probably be the, the film that you would want that to play.
- 37:24[SPEAKER_01]: I think she has those kinds of skills.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_00]: I potentially.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_00]: Potentially.
- 37:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think it just comes down to whether she can.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think that she plays into the conversation probably a little bit more than Caitlyn does.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_00]: She does.
- 37:39[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely think that she plays into.
- 37:41[SPEAKER_00]: I like it.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, it's not just about her.
- 37:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's about me.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, some people don't like that.
- 37:48[SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's Brad.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of in your face and stuff.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't, I don't mind it either.
- 37:53[SPEAKER_01]: When it comes down to it, well, all sports is about me.
- 37:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, no, absolutely.
- 37:57[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that there's a place for the game, it brings a conversation to be had at the dinner table and around campfires and with your friends about how the WMBA is affecting your life.
- 38:11[SPEAKER_00]: Now, to me, even outside of those two, the WMBA's problem is the game just has to get better.
- 38:17[SPEAKER_00]: Like it has to get.
- 38:18[SPEAKER_01]: It has to get under generations or are more skilled.
- 38:21[SPEAKER_00]: It has to be more entertaining.
- 38:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's not one of those things where, but it's got to happen soon.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_00]: It needs to happen.
- 38:30[SPEAKER_01]: Like you've got all this stuff over time organically.
- 38:33[SPEAKER_01]: You hold.
- 38:34[SPEAKER_01]: Right now you got Caitlin Clark, but buoying the entire sport.
- 38:38[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but she's also, you know, she's a Paul scheme's level level talent as far as
- 38:45[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's another Paul schemes coming.
- 38:47[SPEAKER_00]: There's not another Caitlin Clark coming here.
- 38:49[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's one of those.
- 38:50[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of really great.
- 38:52[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, but nobody with her breakers is on her maybe nobody with her break, but even page backers have her brand recognition that you have her.
- 39:00[SPEAKER_00]: you know that the same following the same feeling out we're gonna go play in B.A.
- 39:04[SPEAKER_00]: Arena's because we're such a big one.
- 39:07[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, she is that good.
- 39:08[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why the rest of the league has to catch up and has to get to that point where it can also be it, sit at her dinner table, in my opinion.
- 39:15[SPEAKER_00]: That's where the league has to improve and the W and B.A.
- 39:18[SPEAKER_00]: has to improve as well.
- 39:19[SPEAKER_01]: You're absolutely right.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_01]: We got ourselves a game in the all star game and we will be back when it's over to talk about how it ends and the second half of this year.
- 39:32[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Greg, the all-star game turned interesting here all the sudden after the AL scored two runs in the top of the ninth to fours.
- 39:42[SPEAKER_00]: Well, should have been extras, but it looks as if the MLB's going to do a home run tiebreaker.
- 39:48[SPEAKER_00]: Where did they get the one?
- 39:49[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody knew anything about it.
- 39:50[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 39:52[SPEAKER_00]: I have heard rumblings of this on Twitter and stuff.
- 39:56[SPEAKER_01]: Judentials are going to hate this.
- 39:58[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say I kind of like it.
- 39:59[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of love it.
- 40:01[SPEAKER_01]: Why not I can see both ways, but hey, we're forty minutes into this typically we're gonna keep this to a half hour.
- 40:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but we're not to August yet.
- 40:11[SPEAKER_01]: So we can break the rules a little.
- 40:13[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
- 40:13[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk our way through this and and see.
- 40:18[SPEAKER_01]: After we're done here with this.
- 40:22[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that
- 40:25[SPEAKER_00]: My favorite baseball player, Brandon Dom, and got host of a potential three for three games there right there.
- 40:32[SPEAKER_01]: That was not a fair ball.
- 40:34[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 40:35[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Brent Rucker from the ace.
- 40:39[SPEAKER_01]: He wouldn't.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he could hit the three run home run to make it interesting.
- 40:46[SPEAKER_00]: other way big as come back since nineteen fifty five yep six six runs come back six I got it looks empty there but it's also a Tuesday night at eleven thirty three in Atlanta so board watching history it even if you don't like it it's historic it's not just say you know six nothing game in the top of seven hey you know let's get the kids home it's a Tuesday
- 41:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then everybody left and here we are.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_01]: Where's the all-star game mixture, you know?
- 41:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 41:15[SPEAKER_01]: We'll look that up while we're waiting.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_00]: All that you take care of it.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 41:23[SPEAKER_01]: So it looks seems to me that they said that they announced to the crowd that there would be no extra innings.
- 41:29[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting a surprise.
- 41:30[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's why he ended up with a surprise.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_01]: This was a surprise.
- 41:34[SPEAKER_01]: It's odd.
- 41:35[SPEAKER_00]: Well Greg, why we are getting ready to start this swing off for the all-star game when we'll give a quick recap just in case somebody was not watching this evening and they're gonna catch up with it tomorrow morning.
- 41:48[SPEAKER_00]: So it started off.
- 41:49[SPEAKER_00]: The NL scored two runs on the top of the first.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna could tell Marta to run double and then later in the game I believe it was the fifth inning.
- 42:01[SPEAKER_00]: Peter Lons of a three run home run.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_00]: Corbin Carroll followed up later in the ring with another home run.
- 42:07[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was the first time in a while that there were two home runs in the same ending by the same team.
- 42:14[SPEAKER_00]: It was all national league.
- 42:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then following that the AO got things started with the Rooker three run home run.
- 42:23[SPEAKER_00]: I believe in the seventh inning.
- 42:26[SPEAKER_00]: and then they scraped a run across in the eighth and then they scraped two runs off in the ninth and that is how we got to a six six ball game and now we're getting ready to watch this swing off I'm not a hundred percent sure what the rules are I believe it is three swings per team three players per team nine total swings for each team and they alternate teams yes so the first time has ever happened
- 42:55[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what happens.
- 42:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're like extra innings in an all-star game.
- 43:00[SPEAKER_01]: It's, but this might not be the best solution, but at least it's kind of a solution.
- 43:04[SPEAKER_00]: If this was a Saturday, sure, or whatever, but it's a, it's not.
- 43:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Tuesday at eleven forty two, you know, people don't want to be
- 43:17[SPEAKER_00]: Give the lineup here.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got Rooker leading off for the AL here and then Stowers from the Marlins will be his counter part for the National League.
- 43:31[SPEAKER_00]: You'll have Randy Rosarina from the Mariners.
- 43:34[SPEAKER_00]: His the second AL batter followed up by Kyle Schwarber as the second in-al batter.
- 43:41[SPEAKER_00]: Rooker is going to hit one here.
- 43:44[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to fly.
- 43:46[SPEAKER_00]: And then to follow that up, you'll have Jonathan Miranda, who is from the race.
- 43:52[SPEAKER_00]: He is the third and final batter for the American League.
- 43:57[SPEAKER_00]: And then Pete Alonso will follow up and finish it off as the six hitter and record just rips into another one.
- 44:04[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing American League.
- 44:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just through swings.
- 44:09[SPEAKER_01]: That's that feels like an advantage there.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_00]: Although Schworbaum is not somebody to be played with.
- 44:17[SPEAKER_00]: You might go three for three.
- 44:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_01]: Alonzo too.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned, Alonzo hit one earlier tonight.
- 44:25[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Rooker just pure compact swing.
- 44:31[SPEAKER_00]: Put some both in the left center field.
- 44:33[SPEAKER_00]: Now we're going to have stowers.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_00]: We'll step up to the plate from the, he's the representative for the marlins.
- 44:38[SPEAKER_00]: He was already reserved.
- 44:41[SPEAKER_00]: Coming into the game the batters didn't even know this was the thing Kyle Stowers two ninety three average with nineteen homeruns model has been playing better yep and he's been a big reason as to why at a three-home run game early right before the all-star break he got a lot of poppin is bad met the the chophouse over there and right field is probably looks rather inviting to him right now.
- 45:03[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see he gets three swings here
- 45:09[SPEAKER_00]: watches ball one it wasn't ball one it was right gun the middle ball two was a strike two but they're not a no one wasn't as like it's the off on that that's a team off sitting up there yeah looks like he's gonna be ready to swing here no I don't know if this picture is but boy he might be a liability for the national league yep that's gonna be a pop up I mean there were two right down the middle
- 45:38[SPEAKER_00]: or two right in the middle will that he passed on so i'm not blame in the pitcher's stowers pops up to right center he watches another pitch out to hundred feet man out that dotters bullpen pitcher is having a hard time stowers sees what he absolutely crushes one of the points of it leads to the entire stadium because that
- 46:02[SPEAKER_00]: that would look like it was that was hit on a rope that he's gonna have his third swing he is one for two watches another pitch go by oh and he just pops it on up that might not even get past one fifty money in the past the dirt they didn't show it well the national answers with one home run so it's two one a.l
- 46:27[SPEAKER_00]: You know, with all of the people on the national league, I'm not sure what the rule was for who was chosen to take part in this event, but it seems interesting that Kyle Stowers, you know, Tony and James Wood and other players in the national league bench and Stowers is the one that gets a nod.
- 46:45[SPEAKER_01]: I would put a rose right out there though.
- 46:47[SPEAKER_00]: I would as well and you're you're going to get to see him.
- 46:49[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be the A. L's second representative after Rick or hit two home runs, Kyle Stower was then answered with one.
- 46:57[SPEAKER_00]: So it's two.
- 46:58[SPEAKER_01]: Why not in America?
- 47:00[SPEAKER_01]: If you're taking this thing seriously, why would you not put air in there?
- 47:02[SPEAKER_00]: It might you may be the rules you had to be in the lineup at the time.
- 47:06[SPEAKER_00]: This was all those were starters and see at.
- 47:12[SPEAKER_00]: So a Rosarena's watch too.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: He's just getting dialed in on the picture.
- 47:16[SPEAKER_01]: It's like he's getting right a swing.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_00]: He's got another one.
- 47:21[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you he is just putting him in there for Randy.
- 47:27[SPEAKER_00]: That is.
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and he just rips one down the left field line.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_00]: That's not going to be a home run though.
- 47:34[SPEAKER_00]: That would be a standing.
- 47:37[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a single pitch that has not been right down the middle.
- 47:40[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's actually pretty crazy and he's gonna swing here.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and he just absolutely unleashes one.
- 47:46[SPEAKER_01]: Was it Val?
- 47:47[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
- 47:49[SPEAKER_00]: That was more than four hundred.
- 47:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's gonna be so we have three one after a row's range goes yard.
- 47:55[SPEAKER_00]: He watches another pitch.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_01]: Can we make this pitcher the MVP of the all-star game?
- 48:00[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that was one of the t-off ones.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_00]: That flooded right there.
- 48:03[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my pitch.
- 48:05[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and I think he's just popped.
- 48:07[SPEAKER_00]: Got under this one.
- 48:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's going to.
- 48:09[SPEAKER_00]: So we still got ourselves again.
- 48:11[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 48:12[SPEAKER_00]: So we have Kyle Schworber, who has been an L. Home Run season leader before his career.
- 48:20[SPEAKER_01]: One of our favorites.
- 48:21[SPEAKER_01]: Are you guys?
- 48:24[SPEAKER_00]: So after the first half of round two, we are now halfway at the competition mark.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_00]: Schworber will be the second national league representative, and he's going to get a chance here to potentially tie it up with two home runs and make round three a shoot out.
- 48:42[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed to be having fun with it.
- 48:43[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, Schworber, I was not a starter.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_00]: Schworber was not a starter.
- 48:47[SPEAKER_00]: No, he came in after Kyle Schworber has hit the second most home runs since twenty seventeen off.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_00]: Little interesting that Matt Olson is not involved in this, or AU Henea Swaris.
- 48:57[SPEAKER_00]: Good point, or LED La Cruz.
- 49:01[SPEAKER_01]: Although I probably wouldn't buy him out there in the situation.
- 49:04[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 49:05[SPEAKER_00]: No.
- 49:05[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, Torx is good.
- 49:06[SPEAKER_00]: He's wearing it.
- 49:08[SPEAKER_01]: Three of them, five hundred feet.
- 49:09[SPEAKER_01]: But.
- 49:09[SPEAKER_00]: Torx, Scoobles, currently in street clothes on the side.
- 49:13[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, let's go out.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_01]: He gave up two runs.
- 49:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 49:17[SPEAKER_00]: Before the first out was recorded.
- 49:19[SPEAKER_00]: So Kyle Schwabber watches out in this Dodgers.
- 49:22[SPEAKER_00]: God, he is a liability.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_00]: This evil.
- 49:26[SPEAKER_00]: That was a good pitch.
- 49:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was a good pitch.
- 49:28[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently that Yankees guy.
- 49:29[SPEAKER_01]: I think only one pitch was out of the strike zone.
- 49:32[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Schwabber, just.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it gets over.
- 49:38[SPEAKER_00]: Just a one rape or a line drive to center field on this first swing.
- 49:43[SPEAKER_00]: That's huge.
- 49:45[SPEAKER_00]: He watches another ball.
- 49:46[SPEAKER_00]: So it is now a L three in L two.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_00]: Shwerber just, oh my god.
- 49:53[SPEAKER_00]: How far's that gonna go?
- 49:56[SPEAKER_00]: My Lord.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_00]: And we are now tied up three.
- 50:01[SPEAKER_00]: Shwerber has gone in our favorites.
- 50:04[SPEAKER_00]: And it's first two swings.
- 50:06[SPEAKER_00]: And that was just a bad pitch.
- 50:09[SPEAKER_00]: That was in the right handed hitters box.
- 50:12[SPEAKER_00]: Shwerber watched a good, and he knows he did too.
- 50:15[SPEAKER_00]: He's shaking his hand.
- 50:16[SPEAKER_00]: Very new.
- 50:16[SPEAKER_00]: He saw a good one go right by.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_00]: ready for his third swing.
- 50:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that is absolutely.
- 50:26[SPEAKER_00]: Pancakes to left field, the chop house just got another Tomahawk Senate's way.
- 50:33[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle Schwierberg goes three home runs and three swings.
- 50:38[SPEAKER_00]: We now have a national league, four, three lead going into the third and final round.
- 50:44[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not even meet need pedalons.
- 50:47[SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised to find everybody's hit at least one.
- 50:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
- 50:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my, and it is just electric over there.
- 50:53[SPEAKER_01]: I know the pros and the home runs and batting practice all the time, but just three pitches.
- 51:00[SPEAKER_01]: That's not easy man.
- 51:02[SPEAKER_00]: You know, here's why I'm going to say to any baseball purist that has an issue with this event right now.
- 51:07[SPEAKER_00]: That is the most excited I have seen a bunch of professional baseball players in an awful long time.
- 51:15[SPEAKER_01]: Those were three really hard hit balls.
- 51:18[SPEAKER_00]: Just wall up to that one of the chopouts.
- 51:20[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the hardest one he hit was the one that barely got over it.
- 51:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
- 51:23[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like it may have gotten off the end of the bat and he gets a heroes reception over there on the NL dugout.
- 51:29[SPEAKER_00]: Jonathan Arranda from the Tampa Bay race.
- 51:31[SPEAKER_00]: He was a two, twenty career hitter from two years of his MLB career and all the sudden is now batting three ten in this and all star representative for the race.
- 51:43[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what he has here.
- 51:44[SPEAKER_01]: Left-handed hitter by the way a story that happens a lot a lot of times those guys who have this one year it never happens again sometimes just beginning to something absolutely Got a nice headband has hair up in a beautiful head of hair yep Watches out with a Canky's pitcher's dialed in.
- 52:04[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if a rand is told him where he wants him before he is just finding the spot the chophouse needs to look out it might as well put it on the tee
- 52:14[SPEAKER_00]: So he's watched two goby, he's getting ready for his third ball.
- 52:17[SPEAKER_00]: He watches another one.
- 52:18[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, these might've put them up there on the tee.
- 52:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yet to take his first swing, he's getting ready, though.
- 52:25[SPEAKER_00]: Here it comes, yet that's close.
- 52:28[SPEAKER_00]: Fly ball, but that's going to land just show ads.
- 52:31[SPEAKER_00]: Or just show it.
- 52:32[SPEAKER_00]: That ball went about three hundred and fifty feet.
- 52:34[SPEAKER_00]: That'd been a routine fly ball for any MLB centerfielder.
- 52:38[SPEAKER_00]: Or literally.
- 52:41[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, he's getting ready for swing too.
- 52:43[SPEAKER_00]: We watch a good one go right by him.
- 52:46[SPEAKER_00]: Here he is.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, that one's gonna be gone though, I believe.
- 52:51[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, the big Rick wall in the left field makes it just short.
- 52:57[SPEAKER_01]: Well, one out away from an actually win in a historic fashion.
- 53:01[SPEAKER_00]: My God, you just want to see him get one here though, just to put a little pressure on a lot though and just make it worth the while.
- 53:09[SPEAKER_00]: He watches another pinch go right by.
- 53:11[SPEAKER_01]: If they can't win with this guy throwing it.
- 53:15[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my goodness.
- 53:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was in a bread basket for.
- 53:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a mouse watching a cheese filled trap right there.
- 53:24[SPEAKER_00]: He's just waiting to fall.
- 53:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and he pops up and it's going to be a national league win.
- 53:28[SPEAKER_00]: That is just an absolute shame.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, I think the right team won them.
- 53:36[SPEAKER_00]: The right team won, but it's a shame that the National League, it just went a made for electricity.
- 53:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 53:42[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it was a little long ago at a hit one.
- 53:43[SPEAKER_00]: How cool that was?
- 53:45[SPEAKER_00]: Made a little underwhelming for the finish, because that was really exciting.
- 53:48[SPEAKER_00]: That was cool to watch.
- 53:49[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm glad that it is a part, apparently now that new tiebreaker for the All Star game.
- 53:54[SPEAKER_01]: Well, five minutes.
- 53:56[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk a little second half of the season.
- 54:00[SPEAKER_01]: Your thoughts on who we're going to see in October?
- 54:05[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I feel like the American League, it's essentially at this point, seven teams kind of fighting for six spots.
- 54:11[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, I don't know the red socks have made a run here, but you know, the blue jays have taken control of the AL East, which two months ago, you would have said it's crazy, but they figured it out.
- 54:26[SPEAKER_00]: I feel as if that, you know, you're really kind of looking at the Mariners.
- 54:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Astros on the point in the West.
- 54:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to become a Red Sox Mariners.
- 54:34[SPEAKER_00]: Who's going to fight for that?
- 54:36[SPEAKER_00]: That third A.O.
- 54:37[SPEAKER_00]: Wildcard.
- 54:39[SPEAKER_00]: The National League so up in the air.
- 54:40[SPEAKER_00]: The National League's deeper.
- 54:41[SPEAKER_00]: There's just, it's a really tough
- 54:47[SPEAKER_00]: just lead to be in right now and you've got ten teams that really are all well above five hundred and all are vying for for that third wild card spot I mean you've got the brewers the cubs the Dodgers the Padres the Philly's the meds I mean you right there's you got six team right there I think the time and back so be sellers the cardinals the reds are are hovering
- 55:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean you've really you really have you've got ten teams kind of fighting the giants you've got ten teams fighting for for six spots and I think that's going to make it exciting down the end it's going to come down I think a lot to strength of schedule who who plays weaker opponents down the stretch you has to play tough for opponents but at this point I feel that
- 55:30[SPEAKER_00]: It's really anyone's ballgame in the NL and the AL, I think we kind of have an idea of who we're looking at.
- 55:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, really outside of the AL East, which I believe is now the division that has the most total wins of any division in baseball.
- 55:43[SPEAKER_00]: The NL centrals and host behind.
- 55:45[SPEAKER_01]: The only division with just really no gimmies, even the Orioles are not a gimmie.
- 55:50[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're definitely turning a corner.
- 55:54[SPEAKER_00]: It just comes down to
- 55:57[SPEAKER_00]: can pitching stay healthy and who buys at the deadline.
- 55:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a huge part of the MLB game that, you know, the NFL doesn't really have a whole lot.
- 56:05[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the it's happened, but I don't think the NBA typically has a ton of huge trade deadline acquisitions that come in and really making.
- 56:16[SPEAKER_00]: The NHL and the MLB are the two sports where you really see the trade deadline has a massive impact on your postseason hope.
- 56:22[SPEAKER_00]: So it comes down to who's willing to buy, who's willing to pay a little extra money, whose farm systems deep enough to go get the players that they covet.
- 56:31[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we'll have more answers probably right around September of how this is shaking out.
- 56:36[SPEAKER_01]: Before I get your World Series prediction, I would just want to say that the greatest trade deadline acquisition in the history of Major League Baseball is Ricky Henderson to the Blue Jace.
- 56:47[SPEAKER_01]: Will your World Series prediction still fillies?
- 56:51[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I don't know.
- 56:52[SPEAKER_00]: I still feel like they have, yes, it's still the fillies.
- 56:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they have the best pitching staff.
- 56:57[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be really tough.
- 56:58[SPEAKER_00]: And you're going to move your fist starter into the bullpen as a middle reliever, come postseason times.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_00]: So you're talking about Zach Wheeler,
- 57:06[SPEAKER_00]: Christopher Sanchez, Taiwan Walker, Hazus Lazardo, Aeronola, if you ever get healthy.
- 57:13[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's still the Yankees in the air.
- 57:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 57:18[SPEAKER_00]: I really think that they've shown that they have a real tough time with swing and miss.
- 57:23[SPEAKER_00]: They strike out too much.
- 57:24[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't play very well in postseason baseball.
- 57:27[SPEAKER_00]: Tigers, Astros.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Tigers are quite formidable.
- 57:31[SPEAKER_00]: Really, I think the Blue Drazer are an awfully tough team to be.
- 57:34[SPEAKER_00]: Today, they have a good pitching and they have good offense.
- 57:37[SPEAKER_00]: They have I mean Guerrero and Bashetta or clutch hitters.
- 57:40[SPEAKER_00]: They drive in a lot of runs.
- 57:41[SPEAKER_00]: They don't leave a ton of guys on the pillows.
- 57:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's my team to really watch.
- 57:47[SPEAKER_00]: Hearts in a Canadian team could be in the world series, but I'm going to say Philly's Blue Jays right now.
- 57:53[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I'm feeling.
- 57:55[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, but let's do it again next week.
- 57:56[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
