  We'll

  see
• 1:26
  what
• 1:26
  happens
• 1:26
  with
• 1:26
  it

  then
• 1:26
  we'll
• 1:27
  talk
• 1:27
  some
• 1:28

  9:00'?
• 1:38
  Clock?
• 1:38
  Yeah,
• 1:38
  I
• 1:38
  would
• 1:39
  think
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  it
• 1:39
  probably
• 1:40
  won't
• 1:40
  be.

  having
• 1:43
  a
• 1:43
  beverage
• 1:43
  at
• 1:43
  home,
• 1:43
  maybe
• 1:44
  you'll
• 1:44
  be
• 1:44

  a
• 1:45

  Okay,
• 2:25
  so
• 2:26
  let's
• 2:26
  just
• 2:26
  start
• 2:26
  there.
• 2:27
  Last
• 2:27
  year,
• 2:28
  Ryan,
• 2:28
  you
• 2:29
  were
• 2:29
  kicking
• 2:30
  on
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  football
• 2:30
  team.
• 2:31
  And
• 2:31
  you
• 2:31
  also
• 2:31
  won
• 2:32
  a
• 2:32
  state
• 2:32
  championship
• 2:32
  for
• 2:33
  soccer.
• 2:33
  Very
• 2:33
  exciting.
• 2:34
  Were
• 2:34
  there
• 2:35
  any
• 2:35
  issues
• 2:35
  last
• 2:36
  year
• 2:36
  with
• 2:36
  the
• 2:37
  way
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  went?
• 2:39
  No,
• 2:40
  not
• 2:40
  at
• 2:40
  all.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  mean,
• 2:40
  I
• 2:41
  missed,
• 2:41
  like,
• 2:42
  four
• 2:42
  football
• 2:42
  games
• 2:43
  because
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  had
• 2:43
  soccer
• 2:44
  games,
• 2:44
  which
• 2:44
  wasn't
• 2:44
  an
• 2:45
  issue.
• 2:45
  They
• 2:45
  had
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  backup
• 2:45
  kicker,
• 2:46
  so
• 2:46
  no
• 2:46
  issues
• 2:47
  at
• 2:47
  all.
• 2:47
  Okay,
• 2:48
  so
• 2:48
  then
• 2:49
  it
• 2:49
  kind
• 2:49
  of
• 2:49
  was
• 2:49
  brought
• 2:49
  up
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  you
• 2:50
  that
• 2:50
  you
• 2:50
  wanted
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  do
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  little
• 2:51
  bit
• 2:51
  more,
• 2:51
  maybe
• 2:52
  catch
• 2:52
  some
• 2:52
  passes,
• 2:52
  tight
• 2:53
  end.
• 2:53
  Who
• 2:54
  did
• 2:54
  you
• 2:54
  talk
• 2:54
  to,
• 2:55
  and
• 2:55
  what
• 2:55
  did
• 2:55
  each
• 2:56
  coach
• 2:56
  or
• 2:56
  athletic
• 2:56
  director
• 2:57
  say
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  you?
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  saw
• 3:00
  one
• 3:00
  play
• 3:00
  a
• 3:00
  little
• 3:00
  bit
• 3:00
  receiver,
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  talked
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  the
• 3:02
  football
• 3:02
  coach.
• 3:02
  Well,
• 3:02
  I
• 3:03
  talked
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  my
• 3:03
  football
• 3:04
  coach,
• 3:04
  soccer
• 3:05
  coach,
• 3:05
  and
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  athletic
• 3:06
  director.
• 3:06
  The
• 3:06
  football
• 3:07
  coach
• 3:07
  said,
• 3:08
  we'd
• 3:08
  love
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  have
• 3:08
  you.
• 3:09
  The
• 3:09
  kids
• 3:09
  love
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  have
• 3:10
  you.
• 3:10
  Like,
• 3:10
  you're
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  great
• 3:10
  athlete.
• 3:12
  So
• 3:12
  if
• 3:12
  you
• 3:12
  want
• 3:12
  to
• 3:12
  play,
• 3:12
  if
• 3:13
  you
• 3:13
  get
• 3:13
  approval,
• 3:13
  like
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  said.
• 3:15
  Okay.
• 3:15
  So
• 3:15
  then
• 3:15
  I
• 3:16
  went
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  athletic
• 3:16
  director,
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  he
• 3:18
  talked
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  my
• 3:19
  dad,
• 3:19
  and
• 3:19
  he
• 3:19
  said,
• 3:19
  whatever
• 3:20
  Ryan
• 3:20
  wants,
• 3:20
  I
• 3:21
  support
• 3:21
  him
• 3:21
  100%.
• 3:22
  Don't
• 3:22
  let
• 3:22
  a
• 3:23
  coach
• 3:23
  influence
• 3:24
  your
• 3:24
  decision.
• 3:25
  So
• 3:25
  if
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  soccer
• 3:25
  coach
• 3:26
  isn't
• 3:26
  happy,
• 3:26
  don't
• 3:26
  let
• 3:26
  that
• 3:26
  influence
• 3:27
  your
• 3:27
  decision.
• 3:28
  Do
• 3:28
  what
• 3:28
  you
• 3:28
  want
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  do.
• 3:28
  You're
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  special
• 3:29
  athlete.
• 3:29
  You're
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  special
• 3:30
  kid.
• 3:30
  And
• 3:30
  then
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  want
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  talk
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  soccer
• 3:32
  coach.
• 3:32
  He
• 3:32
  wasn't
• 3:33
  too
• 3:33
  happy
• 3:33
  about
• 3:33
  it.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:35
  mean,
• 3:35
  he
• 3:35
  threatened
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  take
• 3:36
  away
• 3:36
  my
• 3:36
  captaincy
• 3:36
  and
• 3:37
  told
• 3:37
  me
• 3:37
  I'd
• 3:37
  sit
• 3:38
  a
• 3:38
  few
• 3:38
  games,
• 3:38
  which
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  said,
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  guess
• 3:40
  that'll
• 3:40
  be
• 3:40
  fine
• 3:41
  by
• 3:41
  me.
• 3:41
  So
• 3:42
  that's
• 3:42
  basically
• 3:42
  what
• 3:42
  happened.
• 3:44
  Okay.
• 3:44
  So
• 3:44
  it
• 3:45
  kind
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  came
• 3:45
  to
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  point
• 3:45
  where
• 3:47
  when
• 3:48
  we
• 3:48
  get
• 3:48
  to
• 3:48
  August,
• 3:48
  you
• 3:49
  have
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  make
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  decision.
• 3:50
  What
• 3:50
  decision
• 3:50
  did
• 3:51
  you
• 3:51
  make,
• 3:51
  and
• 3:52
  what
• 3:52
  kind
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  communication
• 3:53
  did
• 3:53
  you
• 3:53
  have
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  school
• 3:54
  as
• 3:54
  far
• 3:54
  as
• 3:55
  what
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  were
• 3:55
  going
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  do?
• 3:56
  I
• 3:57
  decided
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  was
• 3:57
  going
• 3:57
  to
• 3:58
  play
• 3:58
  football
• 3:58
  because
• 3:59
  football
• 3:59
  started
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  week
• 4:00
  earlier
• 4:00
  than
• 4:00
  soccer.
• 4:01
  So
• 4:01
  I
• 4:02
  decided
• 4:02
  I'm
• 4:02
  just
• 4:02
  going
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  play,
• 4:03
  and
• 4:03
  then
• 4:03
  hopefully
• 4:03
  I'll
• 4:03
  be
• 4:03
  able
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  play
• 4:04
  soccer.
• 4:04
  But
• 4:05
  at
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  time,
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  school.
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  had
• 4:07
  no
• 4:07
  communication
• 4:07
  at
• 4:07
  all.
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  mean,
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  had
• 4:08
  to
• 4:09
  make
• 4:09
  an
• 4:09
  appointment
• 4:10
  with
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  superintendent,
• 4:11
  talk
• 4:11
  to
• 4:11
  him,
• 4:11
  figure
• 4:12
  out
• 4:12
  what's
• 4:12
  going
• 4:12
  on.
• 4:13
  But
• 4:13
  other
• 4:13
  than
• 4:13
  that,
• 4:13
  no
• 4:14
  one.
• 4:14
  Other
• 4:15
  than
• 4:15
  my
• 4:15
  last
• 4:15
  meeting
• 4:15
  with
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  athletic
• 4:16
  director
• 4:16
  in
• 4:17
  June,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  haven't
• 4:18
  really
• 4:18
  talked
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  anyone
• 4:19
  until
• 4:19
  I
• 4:19
  made
• 4:19
  a
• 4:20
  meeting
• 4:21
  with
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  superintendent
• 4:22
  after
• 4:22
  soccer
• 4:23
  had
• 4:23
  already
• 4:23
  started.
• 4:24
  Gotcha.
• 4:25
  So
• 4:25
  at
• 4:25
  this
• 4:26
  point,
• 4:26
  for
• 4:26
  those
• 4:26
  of
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  just
• 4:27
  tuning
• 4:27
  in,
• 4:27
  if
• 4:27
  you
• 4:28
  don't
• 4:28
  really
• 4:28
  know
• 4:28
  some
• 4:28
  of
• 4:28
  the
• 4:29
  backstory
• 4:29
  that's
• 4:29
  been
• 4:29
  on
• 4:29
  the
• 4:30
  news,
• 4:31
  Ryan
• 4:31
  has
• 4:31
  been
• 4:31
  told
• 4:32
  that
• 4:32
  he
• 4:32
  won't
• 4:32
  be
• 4:32
  able
• 4:32
  to
• 4:33
  play
• 4:33
  on
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  soccer
• 4:34
  team,
• 4:34
  but
• 4:34
  he
• 4:34
  had
• 4:34
  to
• 4:34
  choose
• 4:35
  between
• 4:35
  soccer
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  football.
• 4:36
  He's
• 4:36
  playing
• 4:36
  Football.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  mainly
• 4:38
  they
• 4:38
  called
• 4:38
  it
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  safety
• 4:39
  issue
• 4:39
  that,
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  know,
• 4:40
  playing
• 4:40
  as
• 4:41
  not
• 4:41
  just
• 4:41
  a
• 4:42
  kicker
• 4:42
  but
• 4:42
  also
• 4:42
  a
• 4:42
  wide
• 4:43
  receiver
• 4:43
  would
• 4:43
  make
• 4:44
  it
• 4:44
  a
• 4:44
  little
• 4:44
  more
• 4:45
  unsafe
• 4:46
  if
• 4:46
  he's
• 4:46
  also
• 4:46
  playing
• 4:47
  soccer.
• 4:48
  Is
• 4:48
  that
• 4:48
  kind
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  right
• 4:49
  situation,
• 4:49
  Ryan?
• 4:51
  Yeah.
• 4:51
  Safety.
• 4:52
  Yeah.
• 4:53
  Okay.
• 4:53
  Mike,
• 4:54
  did
• 4:54
  you
• 4:54
  want
• 4:54
  to
• 4:54
  jump
• 4:54
  in?
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:55
  Ryan,
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  just
• 4:55
  wanted
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  ask
• 4:56
  you
• 4:58
  with
• 4:58
  the
• 4:59
  situation
• 4:59
  as
• 4:59
  it
• 4:59
  is,
• 5:00
  and
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  were,
• 5:00
  you
• 5:01
  know,
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  had
• 5:01
  been
• 5:01
  on
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  football
• 5:02
  team
• 5:03
  last
• 5:03
  year
• 5:03
  as
• 5:03
  a
• 5:04
  kicker
• 5:04
  and
• 5:04
  you
• 5:04
  wanted
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  just
• 5:05
  kind
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  expand
• 5:05
  your
• 5:06
  role
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  little
• 5:06
  bit
• 5:06
  this
• 5:07
  year.
• 5:09
  What
• 5:09
  was
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  reasoning
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  your
• 5:10
  soccer
• 5:11
  coach
• 5:11
  kind
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  gave
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  terms
• 5:12
  of
• 5:13
  wanting
• 5:14
  to
• 5:14
  strip
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  of
• 5:15
  your
• 5:15
  captaincy?
• 5:16
  You
• 5:16
  were
• 5:16
  still
• 5:17
  going
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  make
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  solid
• 5:18
  commitment
• 5:18
  to
• 5:19
  soccer.
• 5:19
  I'm
• 5:19
  just
• 5:19
  curious,
• 5:21
  did
• 5:21
  he
• 5:21
  give
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  any
• 5:22
  reasoning
• 5:22
  or
• 5:22
  was
• 5:22
  it
• 5:22
  just
• 5:23
  as
• 5:24
  kind
• 5:24
  of
• 5:24
  clear
• 5:24
  cut
• 5:25
  as
• 5:25
  if
• 5:25
  you're
• 5:25
  going
• 5:25
  to
• 5:26
  do
• 5:26
  that,
• 5:26
  then
• 5:26
  you're
• 5:27
  on
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  outskirts?
• 5:29
  Well,
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  first,
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  would
• 5:30
  not
• 5:30
  have.
• 5:30
  Missed
• 5:30
  a
• 5:31
  single
• 5:31
  soccer
• 5:31
  practice.
• 5:32
  Soccer
• 5:32
  game.
• 5:32
  I
• 5:32
  was
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  the
• 5:33
  basketball
• 5:33
  things.
• 5:33
  Exactly.
• 5:34
  So
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  was
• 5:35
  100%
• 5:35
  a
• 5:36
  soccer
• 5:36
  player.
• 5:36
  And
• 5:37
  he
• 5:37
  basically
• 5:37
  just
• 5:37
  told
• 5:38
  me,
• 5:39
  do.
• 5:39
  You
• 5:39
  think
• 5:39
  you're
• 5:39
  being
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  good
• 5:40
  captain
• 5:40
  by
• 5:40
  doing
• 5:41
  this?
• 5:41
  Like
• 5:41
  you're
• 5:41
  gonna
• 5:42
  open
• 5:42
  up
• 5:42
  a
• 5:43
  can
• 5:43
  of
• 5:43
  worms
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  my
• 5:44
  program.
• 5:44
  You're
• 5:44
  gonna
• 5:44
  let
• 5:45
  other
• 5:45
  people
• 5:46
  do
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  same
• 5:46
  thing?
• 5:47
  And
• 5:47
  he
• 5:48
  said,
• 5:48
  this
• 5:48
  isn't
• 5:48
  a
• 5:48
  good
• 5:48
  look
• 5:49
  for
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  program,
• 5:49
  and
• 5:50
  it's
• 5:50
  not.
• 5:50
  You're
• 5:51
  gonna.
• 5:51
  Other
• 5:52
  kids
• 5:52
  didn't
• 5:52
  want
• 5:52
  to
• 5:52
  do
• 5:52
  it
• 5:53
  and
• 5:54
  basically
• 5:54
  said,
• 5:54
  I'm
• 5:54
  concerned
• 5:55
  with
• 5:55
  you
• 5:55
  getting
• 5:55
  hurt
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  will
• 5:56
  be
• 5:56
  targeted
• 5:57
  on
• 5:57
  the
• 5:57
  football
• 5:57
  field.
• 5:59
  So,
• 5:59
  Pat,
• 6:00
  I'm
• 6:00
  going
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  ask
• 6:00
  a
• 6:00
  question
• 6:00
  to
• 6:01
  you
• 6:01
  before
• 6:01
  we
• 6:01
  go
• 6:01
  back
• 6:01
  to
• 6:02
  Ryan.
• 6:02
  I
• 6:02
  know
• 6:02
  last
• 6:02
  year
• 6:02
  you
• 6:03
  had
• 6:03
  switched
• 6:03
  over
• 6:03
  to,
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  know,
• 6:04
  you're
• 6:04
  a
• 6:05
  teacher
• 6:05
  as
• 6:05
  well,
• 6:05
  as
• 6:05
  well
• 6:06
  as
• 6:06
  your
• 6:06
  wife
• 6:06
  as
• 6:07
  a
• 6:07
  teacher.
• 6:08
  You
• 6:08
  switched
• 6:09
  over
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  helped
• 6:09
  out
• 6:09
  the
• 6:10
  program
• 6:10
  at
• 6:11
  Carl
• 6:11
  Place
• 6:12
  to
• 6:13
  win
• 6:13
  that
• 6:13
  state
• 6:14
  championship
• 6:14
  in
• 6:15
  soccer.
• 6:16
  You
• 6:16
  know,
• 6:17
  going
• 6:17
  through
• 6:17
  this
• 6:18
  whole
• 6:18
  process,
• 6:18
  what
• 6:18
  has
• 6:19
  it
• 6:19
  been
• 6:19
  like
• 6:19
  for
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  as
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  parent
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  also,
• 6:21
  I
• 6:21
  guess,
• 6:21
  you
• 6:22
  know,
• 6:22
  as
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  coach
• 6:23
  as
• 6:23
  well,
• 6:23
  too?
• 6:26
  It's
• 6:26
  just
• 6:27
  been
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  little
• 6:27
  funky,
• 6:27
  quite
• 6:28
  honestly.
• 6:29
  When
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  initially
• 6:30
  talked
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  soccer
• 6:31
  coach,
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  told
• 6:32
  him,
• 6:33
  listen,
• 6:33
  I'm
• 6:33
  looking
• 6:33
  at
• 6:34
  this
• 6:34
  through
• 6:34
  two
• 6:35
  lenses.
• 6:36
  Nobody
• 6:36
  wants
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  win
• 6:37
  more
• 6:37
  than
• 6:37
  I
• 6:37
  do.
• 6:38
  This
• 6:38
  may
• 6:38
  be
• 6:38
  my
• 6:38
  last
• 6:39
  go
• 6:39
  around
• 6:40
  as
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  soccer
• 6:41
  coach,
• 6:41
  and
• 6:41
  I'm
• 6:41
  obviously
• 6:41
  vested
• 6:42
  because
• 6:42
  my
• 6:42
  son's
• 6:43
  playing
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  we're
• 6:44
  coming
• 6:45
  off
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  state
• 6:45
  championship.
• 6:46
  So
• 6:46
  I
• 6:46
  have
• 6:46
  soccer's
• 6:47
  best
• 6:47
  interest
• 6:47
  at
• 6:48
  Horse
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  through
• 6:49
  the
• 6:50
  Dadlands.
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  don't
• 6:52
  mess
• 6:52
  with
• 6:52
  Happy.
• 6:52
  When
• 6:53
  Ryan's
• 6:53
  happy
• 6:53
  and
• 6:54
  he
• 6:54
  wants
• 6:55
  to
• 6:55
  do
• 6:55
  something,
• 6:56
  he's
• 6:57
  never
• 6:57
  let
• 6:57
  me
• 6:57
  down.
• 6:58
  So
• 6:58
  Ryan
• 6:59
  wanted
• 6:59
  this
• 6:59
  challenge.
• 6:59
  He's
• 7:00
  prepared
• 7:00
  for
• 7:00
  this
• 7:00
  challenge.
• 7:01
  So
• 7:02
  I
• 7:02
  told
• 7:02
  the
• 7:03
  coach,
• 7:03
  listen,
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  think
• 7:04
  we
• 7:05
  need
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  allow
• 7:05
  this.
• 7:05
  It'll
• 7:06
  make
• 7:06
  Ryan
• 7:06
  happy.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:08
  let's
• 7:09
  set
• 7:09
  up
• 7:09
  some
• 7:09
  parameters
• 7:10
  with
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  football
• 7:11
  coach
• 7:11
  where
• 7:12
  he
• 7:12
  can
• 7:12
  only
• 7:13
  run
• 7:13
  a
• 7:14
  certain
• 7:14
  number
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  patterns
• 7:14
  or
• 7:15
  run
• 7:15
  a
• 7:15
  certain
• 7:15
  number
• 7:15
  of
• 7:15
  plays,
• 7:16
  and
• 7:17
  let's
• 7:17
  put
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  in
• 7:17
  place.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:18
  if
• 7:18
  you're
• 7:19
  worried
• 7:19
  about
• 7:19
  him
• 7:19
  being
• 7:19
  in
• 7:19
  harm's
• 7:20
  way,
• 7:20
  which
• 7:21
  I'm
• 7:21
  not,
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  mean,
• 7:22
  understand.
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  know
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  work
• 7:24
  Ryan
• 7:25
  does
• 7:25
  behind
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  scenes,
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  he's
• 7:26
  6,
• 7:27
  4,
• 7:27
  200
• 7:27
  pounds.
• 7:28
  I
• 7:28
  mean,
• 7:28
  he's
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  big
• 7:29
  boy
• 7:29
  who
• 7:30
  can
• 7:30
  protect
• 7:30
  himself.
• 7:31
  But
• 7:31
  I
• 7:31
  said,
• 7:31
  hey,
• 7:32
  let's
• 7:32
  set
• 7:32
  up
• 7:32
  parameters
• 7:33
  with
• 7:33
  football.
• 7:34
  Let's
• 7:34
  figure
• 7:34
  something
• 7:35
  out
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  everyone
• 7:37
  can
• 7:37
  get
• 7:37
  comfortable
• 7:37
  with,
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  we'll
• 7:38
  just
• 7:38
  move
• 7:39
  forward
• 7:39
  with
• 7:39
  the
• 7:39
  understanding
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  he
• 7:41
  wouldn't
• 7:41
  miss
• 7:41
  a
• 7:41
  single
• 7:41
  soccer
• 7:42
  practice,
• 7:42
  a
• 7:42
  single
• 7:43
  soccer
• 7:43
  game,
• 7:43
  single
• 7:44
  soccer
• 7:44
  meeting
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  his
• 7:45
  free
• 7:45
  time
• 7:46
  to
• 7:47
  run
• 7:47
  over
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  football
• 7:48
  field
• 7:48
  and
• 7:48
  help
• 7:49
  out
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  program
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  his
• 7:51
  buddies.
• 7:52
  So
• 7:52
  that
• 7:53
  was
• 7:53
  the
• 7:54
  thought.
• 7:55
  How
• 7:55
  it
• 7:55
  got
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  where
• 7:56
  it
• 7:56
  is,
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  don't
• 7:57
  really
• 7:57
  understand.
• 7:59
  And
• 8:00
  part
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  why
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  know
• 8:00
  it
• 8:01
  got
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  where
• 8:01
  it
• 8:01
  is
• 8:01
  is
• 8:02
  no
• 8:02
  one
• 8:03
  ever
• 8:03
  communicated.
• 8:04
  The
• 8:04
  football
• 8:04
  coach
• 8:04
  and
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  soccer
• 8:05
  coach
• 8:05
  and
• 8:05
  the
• 8:05
  athletic
• 8:06
  director
• 8:06
  never
• 8:06
  got
• 8:06
  together.
• 8:07
  The
• 8:07
  athletic
• 8:08
  director
• 8:09
  ran
• 8:09
  to
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  superintendent
• 8:10
  and
• 8:10
  said,
• 8:10
  we
• 8:11
  can't
• 8:11
  have
• 8:11
  this.
• 8:12
  And
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  was
• 8:13
  it.
• 8:13
  It
• 8:14
  was
• 8:14
  forbidden
• 8:14
  without
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  conversation.
• 8:15
  So
• 8:17
  that's
• 8:17
  where
• 8:17
  we're
• 8:17
  at
• 8:17
  as
• 8:18
  parents.
• 8:18
  My
• 8:18
  wife
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  I
• 8:19
  are
• 8:19
  just
• 8:20
  confused
• 8:21
  as
• 8:21
  to
• 8:21
  why
• 8:22
  his
• 8:23
  athleticism
• 8:23
  and
• 8:23
  his
• 8:24
  want
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  do
• 8:24
  more
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  his
• 8:25
  want
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  help
• 8:25
  in
• 8:26
  a
• 8:26
  small
• 8:27
  school
• 8:28
  is
• 8:28
  not
• 8:28
  celebrated.
• 8:29
  Instead,
• 8:30
  it
• 8:30
  was
• 8:30
  just
• 8:31
  prohibited
• 8:32
  without
• 8:33
  any
• 8:33
  type
• 8:33
  of
• 8:33
  discussion.
• 8:34
  So
• 8:35
  frustrating.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  don't
• 8:36
  understand
• 8:36
  it.
• 8:37
  Yeah,
• 8:38
  Mr.
• 8:38
  Leary,
• 8:39
  I'm
• 8:39
  right
• 8:39
  there
• 8:39
  with
• 8:40
  you.
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  can't
• 8:40
  understand
• 8:41
  how
• 8:42
  in
• 8:42
  this
• 8:42
  situation,
• 8:43
  I
• 8:43
  mean,
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  basically,
• 8:44
  with
• 8:44
  your
• 8:45
  son,
• 8:45
  offered
• 8:45
  to
• 8:46
  do
• 8:46
  everything
• 8:46
  right,
• 8:47
  everything
• 8:47
  you
• 8:47
  possibly
• 8:48
  could
• 8:48
  have
• 8:48
  done,
• 8:49
  and
• 8:49
  everybody
• 8:50
  seemed
• 8:50
  on
• 8:50
  board
• 8:51
  with
• 8:51
  it
• 8:51
  earlier.
• 8:52
  And
• 8:52
  then
• 8:52
  for
• 8:53
  there
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  be
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  no
• 8:53
  con
• 8:54
  have
• 8:54
  no
• 8:54
  conversation
• 8:55
  with
• 8:56
  all
• 8:56
  three
• 8:56
  parties,
• 8:57
  really
• 8:57
  four,
• 8:58
  if
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  include
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  superintendent.
• 9:00
  It
• 9:00
  just.
• 9:00
  It
• 9:01
  doesn't
• 9:01
  make
• 9:01
  any
• 9:01
  sense.
• 9:01
  I
• 9:02
  mean,
• 9:02
  I
• 9:02
  think
• 9:02
  if
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  were
• 9:02
  going
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  write
• 9:03
  out
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  scenario
• 9:05
  for
• 9:06
  a
• 9:07
  student
• 9:07
  athlete
• 9:07
  as
• 9:08
  talented
• 9:08
  as
• 9:08
  your
• 9:08
  son
• 9:09
  to
• 9:10
  do
• 9:10
  both
• 9:10
  things
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  do
• 9:11
  it
• 9:11
  correctly,
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  don't
• 9:11
  think
• 9:12
  he
• 9:12
  could
• 9:12
  have
• 9:12
  done
• 9:12
  anything
• 9:13
  better.
• 9:15
  I
• 9:16
  couldn't
• 9:16
  have
• 9:16
  put
• 9:16
  it
• 9:16
  much
• 9:16
  better.
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  don't.
• 9:18
  Like
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  said,
• 9:18
  I
• 9:18
  don't
• 9:19
  understand
• 9:19
  it.
• 9:19
  And
• 9:20
  he's
• 9:20
  a
• 9:20
  kid
• 9:21
  who's.
• 9:22
  I
• 9:22
  don't
• 9:23
  like
• 9:23
  bragging
• 9:23
  about
• 9:23
  my
• 9:24
  kids,
• 9:24
  but
• 9:24
  if
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  did,
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  couldn't
• 9:26
  because
• 9:26
  he's
• 9:26
  an
• 9:26
  high
• 9:27
  honor
• 9:27
  roll
• 9:27
  student.
• 9:27
  He's
• 9:28
  done
• 9:28
  all
• 9:28
  of
• 9:28
  the
• 9:28
  right
• 9:28
  things.
• 9:29
  He's
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  role
• 9:29
  model,
• 9:30
  and
• 9:30
  he's
• 9:30
  Asking
• 9:30
  to
• 9:31
  do
• 9:31
  more
• 9:32
  and
• 9:33
  it's
• 9:33
  being
• 9:33
  discouraged.
• 9:34
  And
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  don't
• 9:35
  think
• 9:36
  you
• 9:36
  should
• 9:36
  ever
• 9:36
  do
• 9:36
  that
• 9:36
  to
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  student
• 9:37
  athlete
• 9:37
  or
• 9:38
  a
• 9:38
  student
• 9:38
  in
• 9:38
  that
• 9:39
  matter.
• 9:39
  And
• 9:39
  one
• 9:39
  of
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  things
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  mention
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  them
• 9:40
  is
• 9:41
  in
• 9:41
  music
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  arts,
• 9:43
  they
• 9:43
  share
• 9:43
  talent.
• 9:44
  You
• 9:45
  know,
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  best
• 9:45
  singer
• 9:45
  in
• 9:46
  school
• 9:46
  is
• 9:47
  in
• 9:48
  chorus,
• 9:48
  in
• 9:48
  band,
• 9:49
  in
• 9:49
  orchestra,
• 9:50
  in
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  plays.
• 9:51
  They
• 9:52
  work
• 9:52
  it
• 9:52
  out.
• 9:52
  They
• 9:53
  find
• 9:53
  a
• 9:53
  way
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  work
• 9:53
  it
• 9:53
  out
• 9:54
  because
• 9:54
  there's
• 9:54
  value
• 9:54
  in
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  talent
• 9:56
  and
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  want
• 9:56
  to
• 9:56
  encourage
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  have
• 9:57
  the
• 9:58
  talent
• 9:59
  shine.
• 10:01
  They
• 10:01
  haven't
• 10:02
  done
• 10:02
  that.
• 10:03
  Do
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  buy
• 10:03
  the
• 10:04
  argument
• 10:04
  that
• 10:04
  he
• 10:04
  would
• 10:05
  have
• 10:05
  been,
• 10:05
  quote,
• 10:06
  targeted
• 10:06
  on
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  football
• 10:07
  field?
• 10:08
  I
• 10:09
  think
• 10:09
  it's
• 10:09
  insulting
• 10:09
  in
• 10:09
  a
• 10:10
  lot
• 10:10
  of
• 10:10
  ways.
• 10:10
  It's
• 10:10
  insulting
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  teammates.
• 10:11
  I
• 10:12
  mean,
• 10:12
  the
• 10:13
  superintendent
• 10:14
  suggested
• 10:14
  that
• 10:14
  Colson
• 10:15
  Mc
• 10:15
  harbor
• 10:15
  and
• 10:15
  then
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  coach,
• 10:16
  soccer
• 10:16
  coach,
• 10:16
  both
• 10:16
  suggested
• 10:17
  that
• 10:17
  Colson
• 10:18
  harbor
• 10:18
  would
• 10:18
  target
• 10:18
  him
• 10:19
  on
• 10:19
  the
• 10:19
  football
• 10:20
  field
• 10:20
  so
• 10:20
  he'd
• 10:20
  be
• 10:20
  heard
• 10:21
  in
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  soccer
• 10:21
  match.
• 10:22
  And
• 10:22
  that's
• 10:23
  just
• 10:23
  not
• 10:23
  the
• 10:23
  way
• 10:23
  things
• 10:23
  are
• 10:23
  done
• 10:24
  in
• 10:24
  high
• 10:24
  school
• 10:24
  athletics,
• 10:25
  not
• 10:25
  in
• 10:25
  my
• 10:26
  world.
• 10:26
  And
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  think
• 10:26
  it's
• 10:27
  insulting
• 10:27
  to
• 10:27
  other
• 10:27
  football
• 10:28
  teams
• 10:28
  and
• 10:28
  such
• 10:29
  that
• 10:29
  something
• 10:29
  like
• 10:30
  that
• 10:30
  would
• 10:30
  happen.
• 10:30
  It's
• 10:30
  just.
• 10:31
  No,
• 10:31
  I
• 10:32
  don't
• 10:32
  believe
• 10:32
  that.
• 10:33
  But
• 10:33
  I
• 10:34
  think
• 10:36
  it's
• 10:37
  a
• 10:37
  fine
• 10:37
  excuse
• 10:37
  to
• 10:37
  make
• 10:38
  if
• 10:38
  you're
• 10:38
  concerned
• 10:38
  about
• 10:38
  a
• 10:39
  safety.
• 10:39
  And
• 10:39
  for
• 10:39
  reasons
• 10:40
  I
• 10:40
  don't
• 10:40
  understand,
• 10:41
  you're
• 10:41
  trying
• 10:41
  to
• 10:41
  discourage
• 10:42
  this
• 10:42
  from
• 10:42
  happening.
• 10:43
  I
• 10:43
  can
• 10:44
  understand
• 10:44
  why
• 10:44
  they
• 10:44
  might
• 10:44
  say
• 10:45
  that,
• 10:45
  but
• 10:45
  I
• 10:45
  don't
• 10:45
  believe
• 10:45
  that
• 10:45
  would.
• 10:46
  That's
• 10:46
  a
• 10:46
  tough
• 10:47
  explanation
• 10:47
  to
• 10:47
  swallow.
• 10:48
  Yep.
• 10:49
  Once
• 10:49
  again,
• 10:49
  we're
• 10:50
  talking
• 10:50
  with
• 10:50
  Ryan
• 10:50
  Leary
• 10:51
  and
• 10:51
  his
• 10:51
  father
• 10:52
  Pat.
• 10:52
  And
• 10:53
  Ryan
• 10:53
  was
• 10:54
  told
• 10:54
  this
• 10:54
  year
• 10:54
  that
• 10:55
  he
• 10:55
  could
• 10:55
  not
• 10:55
  play
• 10:55
  both
• 10:56
  football
• 10:56
  and
• 10:57
  soccer.
• 10:57
  So
• 10:57
  at
• 10:58
  this
• 10:58
  point,
• 10:58
  Ryan's
• 10:58

  playing
• 10:59
  football.
• 10:59
  So,

  Ryan,
• 11:00
  I'm
• 11:01
  kind
• 11:01
  of
• 11:01

  numbers,
• 11:02
  you
• 11:02
  know,

  Looks

• 11:09
  of
• 11:10
  field
• 11:10
  goals
• 11:10

• 11:10
  extra
• 11:11
  points
• 11:11

• 11:11
  or
• 11:11
  there.
• 11:12
  So
• 11:12

• 11:12
  playing
• 11:12
  football
• 11:13

• 11:14
  kind
• 11:14
  of
• 11:14
  a.
• 11:14
  Almost
• 11:15
  like
• 11:15
  a
• 11:15
  two
• 11:15
  way
• 11:15
  player.
• 11:16
  Are
• 11:16
  you
• 11:16
  enjoying
• 11:16
  it?
• 11:17
  Oh,

  I'm
• 11:18
  loving
• 11:18
  it.
• 11:18
  Yeah.
• 11:18
  Every
• 11:19
  moment.
• 11:19
  I'm
• 11:19
  loving
• 11:19
  practice,
• 11:20
  I'm
• 11:20
  loving
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  games
• 11:21
  and
• 11:21
  more.
• 11:21
  And
• 11:22
  I'm
• 11:22
  basically
• 11:22
  me
• 11:22
  and
• 11:22
  my
• 11:23
  friends.
• 11:23
  Just
• 11:23
  hanging
• 11:23
  out
• 11:23
  and
• 11:23
  playing
• 11:24
  football.
• 11:24
  So
• 11:25
  I
• 11:25
  mean,
• 11:25
  I'm
• 11:25
  every.
• 11:25
  I'm
• 11:26
  loving
• 11:26
  every
• 11:26
  second
• 11:26
  of
• 11:26
  it.
• 11:27
  So
• 11:28
  let
• 11:28
  me
• 11:29
  just
• 11:29
  get
• 11:29
  to
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  point
• 11:29
  here.
• 11:30
  What.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:31
  I'll
• 11:31
  ask
• 11:31
  this
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  both
• 11:31
  of
• 11:32
  you.
• 11:32
  I'll
• 11:32
  start
• 11:32
  with
• 11:32
  your
• 11:32
  father
• 11:33
  first.
• 11:34
  What
• 11:34
  are
• 11:34
  you
• 11:34
  guys
• 11:34
  hoping
• 11:35
  for?
• 11:35
  And
• 11:35
  also,
• 11:35
  what
• 11:36
  are
• 11:36
  you
• 11:36
  expecting
• 11:36
  might
• 11:37
  happen
• 11:37
  in
• 11:37
  this
• 11:37
  situation
• 11:38
  now
• 11:38
  that
• 11:38
  you've
• 11:39
  basically
• 11:39
  gotten
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  letter
• 11:40
  from
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  school?
• 11:43
  I'm
• 11:43
  hoping
• 11:43
  they
• 11:43
  allow
• 11:44
  him
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  play.
• 11:44
  I'm
• 11:45
  hoping
• 11:45
  common
• 11:45
  sense
• 11:46
  prevails
• 11:46
  and
• 11:47
  they
• 11:47
  let
• 11:47
  him,
• 11:48
  I
• 11:49
  think
• 11:49
  for
• 11:49
  the
• 11:49
  betterment
• 11:49
  of
• 11:50
  both
• 11:50
  programs,
• 11:50
  they
• 11:50
  let
• 11:51
  him
• 11:51
  out
• 11:51
  on
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  field.
• 11:53
  Ryan
• 11:54
  was
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  first
• 11:54
  team
• 11:54
  news.
• 11:55
  They
• 11:55
  all
• 11:55
  Long
• 11:55
  island
• 11:56
  soccer
• 11:56
  player
• 11:56
  and
• 11:56
  a
• 11:57
  two
• 11:57
  time
• 11:57
  all
• 11:57
  state
• 11:57
  soccer
• 11:58
  player
• 11:58
  and
• 11:58
  a
• 11:58
  captain
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  state
• 12:00
  championship
• 12:00
  team.
• 12:02
  He's
• 12:03
  a
• 12:03
  talented
• 12:03
  kid.
• 12:04
  And
• 12:04
  to
• 12:04
  see
• 12:04
  him,
• 12:06
  him
• 12:07
  sit
• 12:07
  on
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  sidelines,
• 12:07
  to
• 12:08
  me
• 12:08
  is
• 12:09
  an
• 12:09
  absolute
• 12:09
  shame
• 12:10
  when
• 12:10
  he
• 12:10
  could
• 12:10
  be
• 12:10
  shining
• 12:11
  on
• 12:11
  two
• 12:11
  different
• 12:11
  fields.
• 12:12
  So
• 12:14
  I'd
• 12:14
  like
• 12:14
  to
• 12:14
  see
• 12:15
  him
• 12:15
  get
• 12:15
  back
• 12:15
  on
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  field
• 12:16
  and
• 12:16
  do
• 12:16
  his
• 12:16
  thing.
• 12:17
  And
• 12:17
  it
• 12:17
  could
• 12:17
  happen
• 12:17
  fairly
• 12:18
  quickly
• 12:18
  if
• 12:18
  they
• 12:18
  just
• 12:18
  decided,
• 12:19
  hey,
• 12:20
  you
• 12:20
  know
• 12:20
  what,
• 12:21
  maybe
• 12:22
  they
• 12:22
  swallow
• 12:22
  a
• 12:22
  little
• 12:22
  bit
• 12:23
  of
• 12:23
  pride
• 12:23
  and
• 12:23
  say,
• 12:24
  we
• 12:25
  see
• 12:25
  where
• 12:25
  you're
• 12:25
  coming
• 12:25
  from
• 12:26
  and
• 12:26
  let's,
• 12:27
  let's
• 12:27
  give
• 12:27
  this
• 12:27
  a
• 12:27
  go
• 12:28
  with
• 12:28
  certain
• 12:28
  restrictions
• 12:29
  or
• 12:29
  hey,
• 12:29
  let's
• 12:30
  try
• 12:30
  this.
• 12:30
  You
• 12:31
  know,
• 12:31
  it
• 12:31
  just
• 12:31
  never
• 12:32
  happened.
• 12:32
  It's
• 12:32
  just
• 12:32
  been
• 12:32
  forbidden.
• 12:33
  So
• 12:33
  I,
• 12:33
  I'd
• 12:33
  like
• 12:33
  to
• 12:34
  see
• 12:34
  him
• 12:34
  play
• 12:36
  and
• 12:37
  watch
• 12:37
  him,
• 12:38
  watch
• 12:38
  him
• 12:38
  thrive
• 12:39
  and
• 12:39
  succeed
• 12:40
  and
• 12:40
  score
• 12:40
  some
• 12:40
  goals
• 12:40
  on
• 12:41
  the
• 12:41
  soccer
• 12:41
  pitch.
• 12:43
  And
• 12:43
  Ryan,
• 12:43
  what
• 12:43
  about
• 12:44
  from
• 12:44
  you?
• 12:44
  Anything
• 12:44
  different?
• 12:46
  I
• 12:46
  just
• 12:46
  want
• 12:46
  to
• 12:46
  play
• 12:47
  soccer.
• 12:47
  I
• 12:47
  mean,
• 12:47
  it's
• 12:47
  the
• 12:48
  sport
• 12:48
  I've
• 12:48
  played.
• 12:48
  Since
• 12:48
  I
• 12:48
  was
• 12:49
  4
• 12:49
  years
• 12:49
  old.
• 12:49
  I've
• 12:50
  played
• 12:50
  with
• 12:50
  the
• 12:50
  kids
• 12:50
  I've
• 12:50
  been
• 12:50
  playing
• 12:51
  with
• 12:51
  my
• 12:51
  whole
• 12:51
  life.
• 12:51
  I
• 12:51
  mean,
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  love
• 12:52
  soccer.
• 12:53
  I
• 12:53
  just
• 12:53
  want
• 12:53
  to
• 12:53
  play.
• 12:55
  Yeah.
• 12:55
  And
• 12:56
  can
• 12:57
  you
• 12:57
  talk
• 12:57
  a
• 12:57
  little
• 12:57
  bit,
• 12:57
  Ryan,
• 12:58
  about
• 12:58
  the
• 12:58
  support
• 12:58
  that
• 12:59
  you've
• 12:59
  gotten
• 12:59
  from
• 12:59
  people
• 13:00
  in
• 13:00
  general,
• 13:00
  whether
• 13:01
  it
• 13:01
  be
• 13:01
  family
• 13:01
  or
• 13:01
  otherwise,
• 13:02
  throughout
• 13:02
  this,
• 13:03
  this
• 13:03
  situation?
• 13:05
  Oh,
• 13:05
  everyone's
• 13:06
  supposed
• 13:06
  to
• 13:06
  agree.
• 13:06
  I
• 13:06
  mean,
• 13:07
  from
• 13:07
  my
• 13:07
  family
• 13:07
  to
• 13:08
  the
• 13:08
  kids
• 13:08
  on
• 13:09
  the
• 13:09
  football
• 13:09
  team,
• 13:09
  even
• 13:09
  the
• 13:10
  kids
• 13:10
  on
• 13:10
  the
• 13:10
  soccer
• 13:10
  team.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:11
  mean,
• 13:11
  the
• 13:11
  kids
• 13:12
  on
• 13:12
  the
• 13:12
  soccer
• 13:12
  team,
• 13:12
  they're
• 13:13
  not
• 13:13
  the
• 13:13
  happiest
• 13:14
  with
• 13:14
  me
• 13:14
  right
• 13:14
  now,
• 13:15
  but
• 13:15
  they
• 13:15
  understand
• 13:15
  where
• 13:16
  I'm
• 13:16
  coming
• 13:16
  from
• 13:16
  and
• 13:16
  they
• 13:16
  understand
• 13:17
  that
• 13:17
  basically
• 13:18
  the
• 13:18
  school
• 13:18
  is
• 13:19
  not
• 13:19
  doing
• 13:19
  the
• 13:20
  right
• 13:20
  thing
• 13:20
  here.
• 13:21
  And.
• 13:21
  But
• 13:21
  the
• 13:21
  football
• 13:21
  team's
• 13:22
  been
• 13:22
  so
• 13:22
  supportive.
• 13:22
  I
• 13:23
  mean,
• 13:23
  they
• 13:23
  were
• 13:23
  supportive
• 13:23
  of
• 13:24
  me
• 13:24
  just
• 13:24
  playing
• 13:24
  football
• 13:24
  and
• 13:25
  soccer
• 13:25
  and
• 13:25
  they
• 13:25
  knew
• 13:26
  I'd
• 13:26
  miss
• 13:26
  three
• 13:27
  football
• 13:27
  games.
• 13:28
  And
• 13:28
  they
• 13:28
  said,
• 13:28
  whatever
• 13:29
  you
• 13:29
  do,
• 13:29
  like,
• 13:29
  oh,
• 13:30
  whatever
• 13:30
  makes
• 13:30
  you
• 13:30
  happy,
• 13:30
  like
• 13:31
  if
• 13:31
  you're
• 13:31
  going
• 13:31
  to
• 13:31
  help
• 13:31
  us
• 13:31
  win,
• 13:32
  you're.
• 13:32
  Going
• 13:32
  to
• 13:32
  help
• 13:32
  us
• 13:32
  win
• 13:32
  too.
• 13:33
  But
• 13:33
  whatever
• 13:33
  you
• 13:33
  want
• 13:34
  to
• 13:34
  do,
• 13:34
  if
• 13:34
  you
• 13:34
  want
• 13:35
  to
• 13:35
  play
• 13:35
  football
• 13:35
  at
• 13:35
  all,
• 13:35
  that's
• 13:36
  fine.
• 13:36
  Just
• 13:36
  do
• 13:36
  what
• 13:37
  makes
• 13:37
  you
• 13:37
  happy,
• 13:38
  especially
• 13:38
  from
• 13:38
  the
• 13:38
  coaches.
• 13:39
  So
• 13:39
  I've
• 13:39
  had
• 13:39
  everyone's
• 13:40
  support
• 13:40
  and
• 13:40
  then
• 13:40
  my
• 13:40
  family,
• 13:41
  they've
• 13:41
  always
• 13:41
  been
• 13:42
  there
• 13:42
  for
• 13:42
  me
• 13:42
  and
• 13:43
  they've
• 13:43
  been
• 13:43
  just
• 13:43
  helping
• 13:44
  me
• 13:44
  out
• 13:44
  with
• 13:44
  everything,
• 13:44
  whether
• 13:45
  it's
• 13:45
  what
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  have
• 13:45
  to
• 13:45
  say
• 13:46
  to
• 13:46
  a
• 13:46
  coach,
• 13:46
  what
• 13:47
  should
• 13:47
  I
• 13:47
  be
• 13:47
  doing
• 13:47
  here,
• 13:48
  like,
• 13:48
  what
• 13:48
  decisions
• 13:48
  should
• 13:49
  I
• 13:49
  make.
• 13:49
  So
• 13:49
  everyone
• 13:49
  around
• 13:50
  the
• 13:50
  school
• 13:50
  has
• 13:51
  basically
• 13:51
  been
• 13:51
  helping
• 13:51
  me
• 13:51
  out.
• 13:53
  So,
• 13:53
  Ryan,
• 13:54
  first
• 13:54
  of
• 13:54
  all,
• 13:54
  let
• 13:54
  Me
• 13:54
  just
• 13:54
  say,
• 13:55
  I
• 13:55
  admire
• 13:56
  how
• 13:56
  you're
• 13:56
  handling
• 13:56
  the
• 13:56
  situation
• 13:58
  as
• 13:58
  a
• 13:58
  young
• 13:58
  person
• 13:58
  because
• 13:59
  the
• 14:00
  emotions
• 14:00
  are
• 14:01
  tough.
• 14:01
  I
• 14:02
  know.
• 14:02
  And
• 14:02
  along
• 14:02
  with
• 14:03
  your
• 14:03
  family,
• 14:04
  you
• 14:04
  guys
• 14:04
  are
• 14:05
  just
• 14:05
  doing
• 14:05
  a
• 14:05
  fantastic
• 14:06
  job.
• 14:07
  If
• 14:07
  the
• 14:07
  school
• 14:07
  came
• 14:08
  back
• 14:08
  to
• 14:08
  you
• 14:08
  at
• 14:08
  this
• 14:08
  point
• 14:08
  and
• 14:09
  said,
• 14:09
  hey,
• 14:09
  okay,
• 14:10
  we're
• 14:10
  willing
• 14:10
  to
• 14:11
  have
• 14:11
  you
• 14:11
  do
• 14:11
  both,
• 14:12
  but
• 14:12
  as
• 14:12
  your
• 14:13
  dad
• 14:13
  mentioned,
• 14:13
  maybe
• 14:13
  with
• 14:14
  some
• 14:14
  restrictions
• 14:15
  in
• 14:15
  terms
• 14:15
  of
• 14:16
  how
• 14:16
  many
• 14:16
  plays
• 14:17
  in
• 14:17
  football
• 14:17
  or
• 14:17
  whatever
• 14:18
  else,
• 14:18
  would
• 14:19
  you
• 14:19
  be
• 14:19
  willing
• 14:19
  to
• 14:19
  revisit
• 14:20
  that
• 14:20
  right
• 14:20
  now?
• 14:20
  Or
• 14:21
  is
• 14:21
  it
• 14:21
  a
• 14:21
  matter
• 14:21
  of
• 14:23
  you
• 14:23
  just
• 14:23
  want
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  play
• 14:24
  football
• 14:25
  your
• 14:25
  way
• 14:25
  and
• 14:26
  then
• 14:26
  hopefully
• 14:26
  do
• 14:26
  soccer
• 14:27
  as
• 14:27
  well?
• 14:27
  Are
• 14:28
  you
• 14:28
  willing
• 14:28
  to
• 14:28
  have
• 14:28
  those
• 14:28
  discussions?
• 14:29
  How
• 14:29
  do
• 14:29
  you.
• 14:29
  How
• 14:29
  do
• 14:29
  you
• 14:29
  feel
• 14:30
  at
• 14:30
  this
• 14:30
  point?
• 14:31
  You
• 14:31
  know,
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  crazy
• 14:32
  thing
• 14:32
  about
• 14:33
  it
• 14:33
  is
• 14:33
  if
• 14:33
  you.
• 14:33
  If
• 14:34
  they
• 14:34
  had.
• 14:34
  If
• 14:34
  he
• 14:34
  had
• 14:34
  played
• 14:35
  soccer,
• 14:35
  he
• 14:35
  would
• 14:36
  have
• 14:36
  missed
• 14:37
  the
• 14:37
  first
• 14:37
  two.
• 14:37
  Two
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  the
• 14:38
  three
• 14:38
  football
• 14:38
  games.
• 14:39
  Yeah.
• 14:39
  Due
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  soccer
• 14:40
  obligations.
• 14:41
  So,
• 14:41
  yeah,
• 14:42
  you
• 14:42
  wouldn't
• 14:43
  have
• 14:43
  the
• 14:43
  opportunity
• 14:43
  to
• 14:44
  get
• 14:44
  really,
• 14:44
  the
• 14:44
  taste
• 14:45
  of
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  football,
• 14:45
  which.
• 14:45
  Yeah.
• 14:46
  Which
• 14:46
  he
• 14:46
  loves.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:48
  quite
• 14:48
  honestly,
• 14:48
  he's.
• 14:49
  He's
• 14:50
  pretty
• 14:50
  good
• 14:50
  at
• 14:50
  it.
• 14:50
  Yeah.
• 14:51
  So
• 14:51
  he
• 14:51
  wouldn't
• 14:51
  have
• 14:51
  even
• 14:51
  got
• 14:52
  that
• 14:52
  taste.
• 14:52
  He
• 14:52
  would
• 14:52
  have.
• 14:53
  They
• 14:53
  were
• 14:53
  two
• 14:53
  direct
• 14:54
  conflicts,
• 14:55
  and
• 14:55
  he
• 14:55
  had
• 14:55
  to
• 14:56
  let
• 14:56
  it
• 14:56
  be
• 14:56
  known
• 14:56
  that
• 14:56
  he
• 14:56
  would
• 14:57
  have
• 14:57
  chosen
• 14:57
  to
• 14:57
  play
• 14:58
  soccer.
• 14:58
  He
• 14:58
  would
• 14:58
  have
• 14:58
  only
• 14:59
  participated
• 14:59
  in
• 15:00
  one
• 15:00
  football
• 15:00
  game
• 15:00
  so
• 15:01
  far.
• 15:02
  So.
• 15:04
  That'S
• 15:04
  kind
• 15:04
  of
• 15:05
  weird.
• 15:05
  Ryan
• 15:06
  answered
• 15:06
  the
• 15:06
  other
• 15:06
  part.
• 15:08
  No,
• 15:09
  I
• 15:09
  would
• 15:09
  love.
• 15:09
  I
• 15:10
  would
• 15:10
  love

• 15:11
  good.
• 15:12
  I
• 15:12
  mean,
• 15:13
  I
• 15:13
  was

  restrictions
• 15:14
  playing
• 15:15

• 15:17
  I'm
• 15:17
  still

• 15:57
  show
• 15:57
  my

• 16:01
  all
• 16:01
  know
• 16:01
  me.
• 16:01
  I
• 16:01
  feel

  I
• 16:07
  mean,
• 16:07
  it's
• 16:08
  absolutely
• 16:08
  Insane
• 16:09
  to

  think
• 16:09
  about

  things.

• 16:21
  balance
• 16:21
  allowing

• 16:23
  decisions
• 16:23
  on
• 16:24
  their

  And

• 16:47
  education
• 16:47
  teachers
• 16:48
  and
• 16:48
  coaches,
• 16:48
  so
• 16:48
  they've
• 16:49
  been
• 16:49
  around
• 16:49
  it
• 16:49
  their

  whole
• 16:50
  time.
• 16:50
  And
• 16:52
  their
• 16:52
  passion
• 16:53
  for

  athletics
• 16:53
  aligns

  with

  So,

  do
• 17:02
  whatever
• 17:03
  they

  and
• 17:04
  just,
• 17:05
  you

  know,
• 17:06
  for
• 17:06
  them,
• 17:08
  they've
• 17:08
  all
• 17:08
  chosen
• 17:08
  athletics.
• 17:09
  And
• 17:10
  for
• 17:10
  us,
• 17:10
  it's
• 17:10
  like,
• 17:10
  hey,
• 17:11
  if
• 17:11
  you're
• 17:11
  going
• 17:12
  to

  work
• 17:12
  at
• 17:12
  it,
• 17:12

• 17:13
  do
• 17:13
  the
• 17:13
  best
• 17:13
  you
• 17:14
  can.
• 17:14
  We
• 17:15
  don't
• 17:15
  force
• 17:15
  them
• 17:15
  to
• 17:15
  do
• 17:16
  anything,
• 17:16
  but
• 17:16
  if
• 17:17
  you
• 17:17
  love
• 17:17
  it,
• 17:18
  we'll
• 17:19
  do
• 17:19
  what
• 17:19
  we
• 17:19
  can
• 17:19
  to
• 17:19
  make
• 17:20
  you
• 17:20
  succeed
• 17:20
  as
• 17:20
  best
• 17:20
  you
• 17:20
  can.
• 17:21
  So,
• 17:21
  you
• 17:21
  know,
• 17:21
  for
• 17:22
  them,
• 17:22
  it's
• 17:22
  always
• 17:23
  been
• 17:23
  one
• 17:24
  of
• 17:24
  my
• 17:24
  favorite
• 17:25
  lines
• 17:25
  is
• 17:25
  I
• 17:25
  don't
• 17:25
  mess
• 17:26
  with
• 17:26
  happy.
• 17:26
  And
• 17:27
  as
• 17:27
  long
• 17:27
  as
• 17:27
  they're
• 17:27
  happy
• 17:28
  and
• 17:28
  they're
• 17:28
  doing
• 17:28
  things,
• 17:29
  I'm
• 17:29
  going
• 17:29
  to
• 17:29
  do
• 17:30
  my
• 17:30
  best
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  support
• 17:30
  them.
• 17:31
  And
• 17:31
  it's
• 17:32
  bad
• 17:32
  athletics,
• 17:32
  which,
• 17:33
  like
• 17:33
  I
• 17:34
  said,
• 17:34
  it
• 17:34
  aligns
• 17:34
  with
• 17:35
  what
• 17:35
  we
• 17:36
  do,
• 17:36
  which
• 17:37
  has
• 17:37
  been
• 17:37
  fantastic
• 17:38
  with
• 17:38
  all
• 17:38
  of
• 17:38
  them.
• 17:40
  So
• 17:41
  moving
• 17:41
  forward,
• 17:42
  I
• 17:42
  don't
• 17:42
  want
• 17:43
  to
• 17:43
  get
• 17:43
  out
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  the
• 17:43
  story,
• 17:44
  but
• 17:44
  just
• 17:44
  kind
• 17:44
  of
• 17:45
  taking
• 17:45
  a
• 17:45
  look
• 17:45
  forward.

  I've

  to

  the

• 18:57
  of

  route
• 18:58
  just
• 18:58
  in
• 18:58
  terms
• 18:59
  of
• 18:59
  players
• 18:59
  that

  I've
• 19:00
  heard
• 19:00
  where
• 19:00
  it's
• 19:01
  really
• 19:01

  you

  Weiss
• 19:03
  family,

  Weiss

  did
• 19:04
  that.
• 19:05
  Whatever

  happens.
• 19:06
  And

  again,
• 19:07
  we'll
• 19:07
  get
• 19:07
  back
• 19:07
  to
• 19:07
  the
• 19:08
  current
• 19:08
  story.
• 19:08
  I
• 19:09
  just
• 19:09
  hope
• 19:09
  that,
• 19:09
  as
• 19:09
  your
• 19:09
  dad
• 19:10
  said,
• 19:10
  you
• 19:10
  know,
• 19:11
  it's
• 19:12
  a
• 19:12
  happy
• 19:12
  process
• 19:12
  for
• 19:13
  you
• 19:13
  and
• 19:13
  that
• 19:14
  this
• 19:14
  fall
• 19:14
  doesn't
• 19:15
  take
• 19:15
  away
• 19:15
  from
• 19:16
  what's
• 19:17
  going
• 19:17
  on.
• 19:19
  Yeah.
• 19:20
  Thank
• 19:20
  you.
• 19:20
  I
• 19:21
  try
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  not
• 19:21
  let
• 19:21
  it.
• 19:22
  Well,
• 19:23
  it's
• 19:24
  probably
• 19:24
  easier
• 19:24
  said
• 19:25
  than
• 19:25
  done,
• 19:25
  but
• 19:25
  you
• 19:26
  sound,
• 19:27
  and
• 19:27
  with
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28

• 19:28
  you
• 19:29
  sound
• 19:29
  like
• 19:29
  you're
• 19:29
  on
• 19:29
  target.
• 19:30
  And
• 19:30
  I
• 19:30
  know,
• 19:30
  Chris,
• 19:30
  you
• 19:31
  had
• 19:31
  a
• 19:31
  follow
• 19:31
  up
• 19:31
  on
• 19:31
  that.
• 19:31
  Yeah.
• 19:32
  You
• 19:32
  got
• 19:32
  five
• 19:33
  1000
• 19:33
  point
• 19:33
  scorers
• 19:34
  in
• 19:34
  the
• 19:34
  household.
• 19:34
  I
• 19:34
  know
• 19:35
  one
• 19:35
  of
• 19:35
  them
• 19:35
  that's
• 19:37
  one
• 19:37
  of
• 19:37
  them
• 19:37
  on
• 19:37
  the
• 19:37
  line
• 19:38
  is
• 19:39
  not
• 19:39
  one
• 19:39
  of
• 19:39
  them.
• 19:39
  But,
• 19:40
  you

• 19:44
  a
• 19:44
  good
• 19:44
  head
• 19:44
  on
• 19:44
  your
• 19:45
  shoulders.
• 19:45
  You
• 19:45
  just
• 19:45
  have
• 19:45
  to,
• 19:45
  you
• 19:46
  know,
• 19:46
  find
• 19:46
  the
• 19:46
  right
• 19:46
  situation
• 19:47
  going
• 19:47
  back
• 19:47
  to
• 19:48
  where
• 19:49
  you're
• 19:49
  at
• 19:49
  right
• 19:49
  now.
• 19:50
  Is
• 19:50
  there
• 19:50
  any
• 19:50
  chance
• 19:51
  of
• 19:51
  getting
• 19:51
  all
• 19:52
  of
• 19:52
  these
• 19:52
  people
• 19:52
  in
• 19:53
  one
• 19:53
  room
• 19:53
  just
• 19:54
  to
• 19:54
  have
• 19:54
  one
• 19:54
  more
• 19:54
  conversation
• 19:55
  about
• 19:55
  this?
• 19:57
  We've
• 19:57
  tried.
• 19:58
  We
• 19:58
  wrote
• 19:59
  a
• 19:59
  letter
• 19:59
  to
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  Board
• 19:59
  of
• 20:00
  Ed
• 20:00
  to
• 20:00
  discuss
• 20:01
  it.
• 20:04
  I
• 20:04
  hope
• 20:04
  so.
• 20:06
  I
• 20:06
  hope
• 20:06
  so
• 20:06
  is
• 20:06
  all
• 20:07
  I
• 20:07
  can
• 20:07
  say.
• 20:10
  I
• 20:10
  think
• 20:11
  the
• 20:11
  greater
• 20:11
  good
• 20:12
  for
• 20:12
  everyone
• 20:12
  is
• 20:12
  to
• 20:12
  get
• 20:13
  Ryan
• 20:13
  back
• 20:13
  out
• 20:13
  there.
• 20:15
  But
• 20:16
  quite
• 20:17
  honestly,
• 20:17
  I'm
• 20:17
  not
• 20:17
  overly
• 20:18
  optimistic.
• 20:18
  They
• 20:19
  seem
• 20:19
  to
• 20:19
  draw
• 20:19
  a
• 20:20
  line
• 20:20
  and
• 20:20
  I'm
• 20:20
  not
• 20:21
  sure
• 20:21
  they're
• 20:22
  going
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  change
• 20:22
  their
• 20:22
  mind,
• 20:22
  but
• 20:24
  which
• 20:24
  is
• 20:24
  hopeful.
• 20:25
  I
• 20:25
  mean,
• 20:25
  the
• 20:25
  shave
• 20:25
  of
• 20:26
  it
• 20:26
  all
• 20:26
  is,
• 20:27
  you
• 20:27
  know,
• 20:28
  you
• 20:28
  have
• 20:28
  a
• 20:28
  kid
• 20:29
  who's
• 20:29
  been
• 20:29
  doing
• 20:29
  the
• 20:29
  right
• 20:29
  thing
• 20:30
  all
• 20:30
  along,
• 20:31
  and
• 20:31
  on
• 20:32
  a
• 20:32
  lot
• 20:32
  of
• 20:32
  levels
• 20:32
  he's
• 20:34
  been.
• 20:35
  He
• 20:35
  feels
• 20:35
  like
• 20:35
  he
• 20:35
  kind
• 20:36
  of
• 20:36
  did
• 20:36
  something
• 20:36
  wrong
• 20:37
  because
• 20:37
  he,
• 20:38
  you
• 20:38
  know,
• 20:38
  as
• 20:38
  he
• 20:38
  said
• 20:39
  early
• 20:39
  on
• 20:39
  in
• 20:39
  the
• 20:39
  process,
• 20:40
  that
• 20:41
  he
• 20:41
  can't
• 20:42
  win,
• 20:42
  he
• 20:42
  can't
• 20:42
  make
• 20:42
  a
• 20:43
  good
• 20:43
  decision.
• 20:43
  He's
• 20:43
  either
• 20:43
  letting
• 20:44
  down
• 20:44
  his
• 20:44
  football
• 20:44
  buddies
• 20:44
  or
• 20:45
  he's
• 20:45
  letting
• 20:45
  down
• 20:45
  a
• 20:45
  soccer
• 20:46
  team.
• 20:46
  And
• 20:47
  there's
• 20:47
  no
• 20:47
  good
• 20:47
  decision
• 20:48
  here
• 20:48
  for
• 20:48
  him.
• 20:49
  He
• 20:49
  was
• 20:50
  put
• 20:50
  in
• 20:50
  just
• 20:50
  a
• 20:50
  very,
• 20:50
  very
• 20:51
  difficult
• 20:51
  spot.
• 20:52
  And,
• 20:53
  you
• 20:53
  know,
• 20:54
  he's
• 20:54
  handled
• 20:55
  with
• 20:55
  great
• 20:55
  maturity.
• 20:57
  You
• 20:57
  know,
• 20:57
  he
• 20:57
  doesn't
• 20:57
  speak
• 20:58
  about
• 20:58
  how
• 20:58
  hard
• 20:58
  it's
• 20:58
  been,
• 20:59
  how
• 20:59
  hard
• 20:59
  it's
• 20:59
  been
• 20:59
  early
• 20:59
  on,
• 21:00
  how
• 21:00
  disappointed
• 21:01
  he
• 21:01
  is
• 21:01
  not
• 21:01
  to
• 21:01
  be
• 21:01
  out
• 21:01
  on
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  field,
• 21:02
  how
• 21:02
  hard
• 21:02
  it
• 21:02
  is
• 21:03
  to
• 21:03
  go
• 21:03
  to
• 21:03
  games
• 21:03
  and
• 21:03
  watch.
• 21:05
  He
• 21:06
  really
• 21:06
  has
• 21:06
  just
• 21:06
  kept
• 21:07
  his
• 21:07
  head
• 21:07
  up
• 21:07
  and
• 21:08
  just
• 21:09
  kept
• 21:10
  working.
• 21:10
  And
• 21:11
  like
• 21:11
  I
• 21:11
  said,
• 21:11
  he's
• 21:12
  had
• 21:12
  an
• 21:12
  incredible
• 21:12
  maturity
• 21:13
  about
• 21:14
  the
• 21:14
  whole
• 21:14
  thing,
• 21:14
  which
• 21:14
  includes
• 21:15
  meeting
• 21:15
  with
• 21:16
  kids
• 21:16
  on
• 21:16
  the
• 21:16
  soccer
• 21:16
  team,
• 21:17
  meeting
• 21:17
  with
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  soccer
• 21:17
  team
• 21:18
  setting
• 21:18
  an
• 21:18
  appointment
• 21:18
  with
• 21:19
  the
• 21:19
  superintendent
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  meet
• 21:19
  with
• 21:20
  him
• 21:20
  individually.
• 21:21
  He's
• 21:21
  done
• 21:21
  a
• 21:22
  fantastic
• 21:22
  job,
• 21:22
  so
• 21:24
  I'm
• 21:24
  very
• 21:24
  proud
• 21:24
  of
• 21:25
  how
• 21:25
  he's
• 21:25
  handled
• 21:25
  it,
• 21:25
  and
• 21:26
  I'm
• 21:26
  hoping
• 21:26
  they
• 21:26
  kind
• 21:26
  of
• 21:27
  see
• 21:27
  that
• 21:27
  and
• 21:27
  go,
• 21:27
  hey,
• 21:28
  let's
• 21:29
  do
• 21:29
  the
• 21:29
  right
• 21:29
  thing
• 21:29
  and
• 21:29
  let
• 21:30
  them
• 21:30
  play
• 21:30
  soccer.
• 21:31
  Once
• 21:31
  again,
• 21:31
  we're
• 21:31
  talking
• 21:32
  with
• 21:32
  Ryan
• 21:32
  Leary
• 21:32
  and
• 21:32
  his
• 21:33
  father,
• 21:33
  Pat.
• 21:35
  We've
• 21:36
  talked
• 21:36
  a
• 21:36
  little
• 21:36
  bit
• 21:36
  about
• 21:36
  the
• 21:36
  situation
• 21:37
  where
• 21:37
  he's
• 21:37
  playing
• 21:38
  football,
• 21:38
  but
• 21:38
  at
• 21:38
  this
• 21:39
  point,
• 21:39
  the
• 21:39
  school
• 21:39
  is
• 21:39
  not
• 21:40
  allowing
• 21:40
  him
• 21:40
  to
• 21:40
  play
• 21:41
  soccer
• 21:41
  as
• 21:41
  well.
• 21:43
  Ryan,
• 21:44
  if
• 21:44
  for
• 21:44
  whatever
• 21:45
  reason
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  school
• 21:45
  keeps
• 21:46
  this
• 21:46
  decision,
• 21:46
  doesn't
• 21:47
  allow
• 21:47
  you
• 21:47
  to
• 21:47
  play
• 21:48
  soccer
• 21:48
  this
• 21:48
  year,
• 21:49
  you've
• 21:49
  been
• 21:49
  there,
• 21:50
  you've
• 21:50
  been
• 21:51
  an
• 21:51
  athlete
• 21:52
  there
• 21:52
  from
• 21:52
  seventh
• 21:52
  grade
• 21:53
  to
• 21:53
  12th
• 21:53
  grade,
• 21:53
  you
• 21:54
  know,
• 21:54
  playing
• 21:54
  at
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  varsity
• 21:55
  level
• 21:55
  in
• 21:55
  eighth
• 21:55
  grade.
• 21:56
  Is
• 21:56
  it
• 21:56
  going
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  leave
• 21:57
  a
• 21:57
  little
• 21:57
  bit
• 21:57
  of
• 21:57
  a
• 21:57
  sour
• 21:58
  taste
• 21:58
  in
• 21:58
  your
• 21:58
  mouth
• 21:59
  for
• 21:59
  Carl
• 21:59
  plays
• 22:01
  I
• 22:01
  feel
• 22:02
  like.
• 22:02
  For
• 22:02
  a
• 22:02
  little
• 22:02
  bit,
• 22:02
  but,
• 22:03
  I
• 22:03
  mean.
• 22:03
  This
• 22:03
  is
• 22:03
  really
• 22:04
  one
• 22:04
  of
• 22:04
  the
• 22:04
  only.
• 22:05
  Negative
• 22:05
  things
• 22:05
  that's
• 22:05
  happened
• 22:06
  to
• 22:06
  me
• 22:06
  here.
• 22:06
  I
• 22:06
  mean,
• 22:06
  I
• 22:06
  love
• 22:07
  this
• 22:07
  place.
• 22:07
  I
• 22:07
  love
• 22:07
  the
• 22:07
  town.
• 22:08
  I
• 22:08
  love
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  people
• 22:08
  here.
• 22:09
  So,
• 22:09
  I
• 22:09
  mean,
• 22:10
  I
• 22:10
  feel
• 22:10
  like
• 22:10
  for
• 22:10
  a
• 22:10
  little
• 22:10
  bit,
• 22:10
  I'm
• 22:11
  going
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  be
• 22:11
  upset,
• 22:12
  especially
• 22:12
  for
• 22:12
  the.
• 22:13
  At
• 22:13
  least
• 22:13
  the
• 22:13
  remainder
• 22:14
  of
• 22:14
  the
• 22:14
  fall,
• 22:14
  even
• 22:14
  into
• 22:15
  the
• 22:15
  winter,
• 22:15
  But
• 22:15
  I
• 22:15
  feel
• 22:15
  like
• 22:15
  I'm
• 22:16
  going
• 22:16
  to
• 22:16
  eventually
• 22:17
  get
• 22:17
  over
• 22:17
  it
• 22:18
  a
• 22:18
  little
• 22:18
  bit.
• 22:20
  Well,
• 22:20
  you
• 22:20
  know
• 22:20
  what?
• 22:20
  I
• 22:21
  think
• 22:21
  your
• 22:21
  dad
• 22:21
  kind
• 22:21
  of
• 22:21
  hit
• 22:22
  it
• 22:22
  on
• 22:22
  the
• 22:22
  head
• 22:22
  there,
• 22:22
  too.
• 22:23
  And
• 22:23
  I'm
• 22:24
  sure
• 22:24
  you
• 22:24
  feel
• 22:24
  the
• 22:24
  same
• 22:24
  way.
• 22:25
  Maybe
• 22:26
  you
• 22:26
  don't
• 22:26
  get
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  answer
• 22:28
  that
• 22:28
  you're
• 22:28
  looking
• 22:28
  for,
• 22:28
  but
• 22:29
  for
• 22:31
  at
• 22:31
  the
• 22:31
  very
• 22:31
  least,
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  get
• 22:32
  everybody
• 22:32
  in
• 22:32
  a
• 22:33
  room
• 22:33
  to
• 22:33
  have
• 22:33
  one
• 22:34
  conversation,
• 22:34
  I
• 22:34
  mean,
• 22:34
  I
• 22:35
  think
• 22:35
  that's.
• 22:35
  That's
• 22:36
  only
• 22:36
  fair.
• 22:37
  You
• 22:38
  know,
• 22:38
  again,
• 22:38
  you
• 22:39
  want
• 22:39
  to.
• 22:39
  You
• 22:39
  want
• 22:42
  a
• 22:42
  better
• 22:42
  resolution
• 22:43
  out
• 22:43
  of
• 22:43
  it
• 22:43
  where
• 22:43
  you
• 22:43
  can
• 22:44
  do
• 22:44
  everything
• 22:44
  you
• 22:44
  want,
• 22:44
  But
• 22:45
  I
• 22:45
  can't
• 22:45
  see
• 22:45
  any
• 22:46
  logic
• 22:46
  or
• 22:46
  any
• 22:47
  spin
• 22:48
  where
• 22:48
  a
• 22:48
  school
• 22:49
  district
• 22:49
  can
• 22:49
  say
• 22:49
  to
• 22:50
  a
• 22:51
  family
• 22:51
  and
• 22:51
  to
• 22:51
  a
• 22:51
  player,
• 22:52
  hey,
• 22:53
  we're
• 22:53
  not
• 22:53
  going
• 22:53
  to
• 22:53
  meet
• 22:53
  on
• 22:54
  this.
• 22:54
  We're
• 22:54
  not
• 22:54
  going
• 22:54
  to
• 22:54
  sit
• 22:54
  down.
• 22:55
  It
• 22:55
  doesn't
• 22:55
  have
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  be
• 22:55
  in
• 22:55
  public
• 22:56
  or
• 22:56
  whatever,
• 22:56
  but
• 22:57
  just
• 22:57
  everybody
• 22:57
  sit
• 22:57
  down,
• 22:59
  let
• 22:59
  you
• 22:59
  guys
• 23:00
  talk
• 23:00
  and
• 23:01
  say
• 23:02
  what's
• 23:02
  on
• 23:02
  your
• 23:02
  mind,
• 23:03
  and
• 23:03
  then
• 23:03
  the
• 23:04
  decision
• 23:04
  is
• 23:04
  made.
• 23:06
  It's
• 23:06
  not
• 23:06
  a
• 23:06
  great
• 23:07
  look,
• 23:07
  in
• 23:07
  my
• 23:07
  opinion.
• 23:08
  I
• 23:08
  don't
• 23:08
  think
• 23:08
  anybody
• 23:09
  would
• 23:09
  think
• 23:09
  so.
• 23:10
  And
• 23:10
  I
• 23:10
  can't
• 23:10
  see
• 23:11
  where
• 23:11
  a
• 23:11
  school
• 23:11
  district
• 23:12
  wouldn't
• 23:14
  want
• 23:14
  to
• 23:14
  do
• 23:14
  that.
• 23:14
  You
• 23:14
  know,
• 23:15
  especially
• 23:16
  there's.
• 23:17
  I'm
• 23:17
  sure
• 23:17
  there's
• 23:17
  other
• 23:17
  channels
• 23:18
  you've
• 23:18
  discussed
• 23:19
  and
• 23:19
  that
• 23:20
  you
• 23:20
  could
• 23:20
  go,
• 23:20
  but
• 23:20
  you're
• 23:20
  not
• 23:21
  even.
• 23:21
  You're
• 23:21
  not
• 23:21
  even
• 23:21
  going
• 23:22
  that
• 23:22
  route.
• 23:22
  You're
• 23:22
  not
• 23:22
  looking
• 23:22
  to
• 23:23
  embarrass
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  school.
• 23:26
  We
• 23:26
  just
• 23:26
  want
• 23:26
  him
• 23:26
  to
• 23:26
  play.
• 23:26
  I
• 23:27
  just
• 23:27
  want
• 23:27
  him
• 23:27
  to
• 23:27
  be
• 23:27
  happy,
• 23:28
  you
• 23:28
  know,
• 23:28
  and
• 23:29
  they've
• 23:30
  created
• 23:30
  this
• 23:30
  less
• 23:30
  restrictive
• 23:31
  environment,
• 23:31
  and
• 23:33
  they
• 23:33
  talk
• 23:34
  about
• 23:34
  concerns
• 23:34
  for
• 23:34
  his
• 23:35
  safety
• 23:35
  when,
• 23:36
  you
• 23:36
  know,
• 23:36
  my
• 23:36
  job
• 23:36
  as
• 23:36
  a
• 23:37
  dad
• 23:37
  is
• 23:37
  to
• 23:37
  keep
• 23:37
  him
• 23:37
  out
• 23:37
  of
• 23:37
  harm's
• 23:38
  way.
• 23:38
  And
• 23:38
  if
• 23:38
  I'm
• 23:39
  not
• 23:39
  concerned
• 23:39
  with
• 23:39
  it,
• 23:40
  I'm
• 23:41
  not
• 23:41
  sure
• 23:41
  why
• 23:41
  they
• 23:41
  have
• 23:42
  to
• 23:42
  be
• 23:42
  overly
• 23:42
  concerned
• 23:43
  with
• 23:43
  it.
• 23:43
  And,
• 23:43
  you
• 23:44
  know,
• 23:44
  Pat
• 23:44
  Pizzarelli
• 23:45
  from
• 23:45
  Section
• 23:45
  8
• 23:45
  said
• 23:46
  in
• 23:46
  40
• 23:46
  years,
• 23:47
  he's
• 23:47
  never
• 23:48
  seen
• 23:48
  a
• 23:48
  school
• 23:48
  deny
• 23:48
  a
• 23:49
  kid
• 23:49
  an
• 23:49
  opportunity
• 23:49
  to
• 23:50
  Play
• 23:50
  More.
• 23:51
  Section
• 23:51
  8
• 23:51
  doesn't
• 23:52
  have
• 23:52
  a
• 23:52
  rule,
• 23:52
  and
• 23:52
  New
• 23:52
  York
• 23:52
  State
• 23:53
  doesn't
• 23:53
  have
• 23:53
  a
• 23:53
  rule.
• 23:54
  So
• 23:55
  I
• 23:56
  don't
• 23:56
  understand
• 23:56
  why
• 23:56
  Cole
• 23:57
  Place
• 23:57
  feels
• 23:57
  the
• 23:57
  need
• 23:57
  to
• 23:58
  have
• 23:58
  a
• 23:58
  rule.
• 23:58
  And
• 23:59
  I
• 23:59
  guess
• 23:59
  this
• 23:59
  is
• 23:59
  a
• 24:00
  district
• 24:00
  by
• 24:01
  district
• 24:01
  choice.
• 24:03
  Pat,
• 24:03
  have
• 24:03
  you
• 24:03
  found
• 24:04
  anything
• 24:04
  else
• 24:05
  out
• 24:05
  there
• 24:05
  about
• 24:05
  people
• 24:06
  playing
• 24:06
  two
• 24:07
  contact
• 24:08
  sports
• 24:08
  within
• 24:09
  the
• 24:09
  same
• 24:09
  season
• 24:09
  that
• 24:10
  you'd
• 24:10
  be
• 24:10
  able
• 24:10
  to
• 24:11
  go
• 24:11
  to
• 24:11
  Car
• 24:11
  Place
• 24:12
  and
• 24:12
  say,
• 24:12
  hey,
• 24:12
  listen,
• 24:12
  this
• 24:12
  has
• 24:13
  happened
• 24:13
  before.
• 24:14
  What's
• 24:14
  happened
• 24:14
  within
• 24:14
  Car
• 24:15
  Place
• 24:15
  with
• 24:15
  the
• 24:16
  girl
• 24:16
  playing
• 24:16
  competitive
• 24:17
  cheer
• 24:17
  and
• 24:17
  gymnastics,
• 24:18
  which
• 24:18
  are
• 24:18
  both,
• 24:19
  you
• 24:19
  know,
• 24:20
  both
• 24:20
  have
• 24:20
  high
• 24:20
  injury
• 24:21
  risks.
• 24:22
  Be
• 24:22
  it
• 24:22
  different
• 24:23
  than
• 24:23
  football
• 24:23
  and
• 24:23
  soccer
• 24:25
  with,
• 24:26
  you
• 24:26
  know,
• 24:26
  famously,
• 24:27
  Max
• 24:27
  Sebald
• 24:27
  did
• 24:27
  Eddie
• 24:28
  Hewitt.
• 24:29
  Max
• 24:29
  Sebald
• 24:30
  was
• 24:31
  an
• 24:31
  all
• 24:31
  American
• 24:31
  lacrosse
• 24:32
  player
• 24:32
  who
• 24:32
  ended
• 24:33
  up
• 24:33
  being
• 24:33
  the
• 24:34
  national
• 24:34
  player
• 24:34
  of
• 24:35
  the
• 24:35
  year
• 24:35
  in
• 24:35
  lacrosse
• 24:36
  at
• 24:36
  Cornell.
• 24:37
  And
• 24:37
  he
• 24:37
  played
• 24:38
  both.
• 24:38
  He
• 24:38
  was
• 24:38
  all
• 24:38
  county,
• 24:39
  both
• 24:39
  soccer
• 24:39
  and
• 24:39
  football
• 24:40
  for
• 24:40
  Hewlett
• 24:40
  back
• 24:40
  in
• 24:41
  the
• 24:41
  day.
• 24:42
  So
• 24:42
  they
• 24:42
  found
• 24:42
  a
• 24:42
  way
• 24:42
  to
• 24:43
  take
• 24:43
  a
• 24:43
  special
• 24:44
  athlete
• 24:44
  and
• 24:45
  promote
• 24:45
  that.
• 24:48
  And
• 24:48
  like
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  said,
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  don't
• 24:50
  know
• 24:50
  why.
• 24:50
  To
• 24:50
  me,
• 24:50
  it's
• 24:50
  a
• 24:51
  great
• 24:51
  story.
• 24:52
  I
• 24:52
  don't
• 24:52
  know
• 24:52
  why
• 24:52
  they
• 24:53
  wouldn't
• 24:53
  do
• 24:53
  it.
• 24:53
  You
• 24:54
  know,
• 24:54
  a
• 24:54
  kid
• 24:54
  like
• 24:54
  Max
• 24:54
  was
• 24:55
  special
• 24:55
  kid.
• 24:56
  And
• 24:56
  I
• 24:56
  remember
• 24:56
  playing
• 24:56
  against
• 24:57
  him
• 24:57
  on
• 24:57
  the
• 24:57
  soccer
• 24:57
  field,
• 24:58
  and
• 24:58
  they
• 24:58
  allowed
• 24:59
  him
• 24:59
  to
• 24:59
  do
• 24:59
  his
• 24:59
  thing,
• 25:00
  and
• 25:00
  I
• 25:00
  don't
• 25:00
  know
• 25:01
  why
• 25:01
  Complex
• 25:01
  would
• 25:02
  not
• 25:02
  allow
• 25:02
  him
• 25:02
  to
• 25:02
  do
• 25:03
  his
• 25:03
  bribe
• 25:03
  thing,
• 25:03
  you
• 25:04
  know?
• 25:05
  Yeah.
• 25:05
  And
• 25:05
  you
• 25:05
  know,
• 25:06
  Pat,
• 25:06
  I've
• 25:06
  got
• 25:07
  kids
• 25:07
  that
• 25:07
  are
• 25:07
  on
• 25:07
  Unified
• 25:08
  Basketball
• 25:08
  and
• 25:08
  jumping
• 25:09
  high
• 25:09
  jump
• 25:09
  at
• 25:09
  the
• 25:10
  same
• 25:10
  time.
• 25:10
  So,
• 25:11
  you
• 25:11
  know,
• 25:11
  we
• 25:11
  steal
• 25:11
  them
• 25:11
  from
• 25:12
  wherever
• 25:12
  we
• 25:12
  can.
• 25:12
  And,
• 25:13
  you
• 25:13
  know,
• 25:13
  we
• 25:13
  never
• 25:13
  had
• 25:13
  an
• 25:13
  issue
• 25:14
  with
• 25:14
  it.
• 25:14
  It's
• 25:14
  just
• 25:15
  you
• 25:15
  try
• 25:15
  to
• 25:15
  keep
• 25:15
  the
• 25:15
  community
• 25:16
  going.
• 25:16
  And
• 25:16
  unfortunately,
• 25:17
  in
• 25:17
  this
• 25:17
  situation,
• 25:18
  it's
• 25:18
  just
• 25:19
  some
• 25:19
  walls
• 25:20
  that
• 25:20
  you
• 25:20
  guys
• 25:20
  haven't
• 25:20
  been
• 25:20
  able
• 25:20
  to
• 25:21
  jump
• 25:21
  over.
• 25:21
  Well,
• 25:22
  in
• 25:22
  small
• 25:23
  districts,
• 25:23
  you
• 25:24
  know,
• 25:24
  we
• 25:24
  need
• 25:25
  to
• 25:25
  share
• 25:25
  kids.
• 25:27
  That
• 25:27
  happens.
• 25:27
  And
• 25:27
  East
• 25:28
  Rockaway
• 25:28
  is
• 25:28
  a
• 25:28
  small
• 25:28
  district,
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  Cold
• 25:29
  Place
• 25:29
  is
• 25:30
  a
• 25:30
  small
• 25:30
  district.
• 25:30
  We
• 25:30
  have
• 25:30
  graduating
• 25:31
  classes
• 25:31
  of
• 25:31
  under
• 25:32
  100.
• 25:32
  You
• 25:33
  really
• 25:33
  need
• 25:33
  to
• 25:33
  share
• 25:33
  kids.
• 25:34
  But
• 25:34
  the
• 25:34
  more
• 25:34
  I've
• 25:35
  discussed
• 25:35
  it
• 25:35
  with
• 25:37
  other
• 25:37
  districts
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  other
• 25:38
  coaches
• 25:39
  and
• 25:39
  other
• 25:39
  ads,
• 25:39
  and
• 25:39
  we've
• 25:40
  discussed
• 25:40
  it
• 25:40
  with
• 25:40
  superintendents,
• 25:41
  they
• 25:41
  do
• 25:41
  it
• 25:42
  all
• 25:42
  the
• 25:42
  time.
• 25:43
  Districts
• 25:43
  do
• 25:43
  it
• 25:43
  all
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  time.
• 25:44
  It
• 25:44
  just
• 25:44
  never.
• 25:46
  People
• 25:46
  don't
• 25:47
  talk
• 25:47
  about
• 25:47
  it.
• 25:48
  They
• 25:48
  do
• 25:48
  it
• 25:48
  all
• 25:48
  the
• 25:48
  time.
• 25:49
  They
• 25:49
  allow
• 25:49
  kids
• 25:49
  to
• 25:50
  shine.
• 25:51
  Well,
• 25:51
  I
• 25:52
  can
• 25:52
  tell
• 25:52
  you
• 25:52
  from
• 25:53
  my
• 25:53
  own
• 25:53
  experience
• 25:54
  in
• 25:54
  my
• 25:54
  coaching
• 25:55
  with
• 25:55
  high
• 25:55
  school
• 25:56
  basketball,
• 25:56
  I've
• 25:57
  had
• 25:57
  a
• 25:57
  player
• 25:57
  who
• 25:58
  played
• 25:58
  basketball
• 25:58
  and
• 25:59
  also
• 25:59
  did
• 25:59
  winter
• 25:59
  track
• 26:00
  and
• 26:01
  did
• 26:03
  high
• 26:03
  jump
• 26:03
  and
• 26:03
  all
• 26:03
  sorts
• 26:04
  of
• 26:04
  things.
• 26:04
  So
• 26:05
  it's
• 26:05
  certainly
• 26:05
  not.
• 26:06
  It's
• 26:06
  not
• 26:06
  unprecedented.
• 26:08
  And
• 26:09
  unfortunately,
• 26:10
  it
• 26:11
  is
• 26:11
  district
• 26:11
  by
• 26:11
  district.
• 26:12
  I
• 26:12
  was
• 26:12
  under
• 26:12
  the
• 26:13
  impression,
• 26:13
  and
• 26:14
  I'm
• 26:14
  glad
• 26:14
  that
• 26:14
  I
• 26:14
  got
• 26:15
  this
• 26:15
  education
• 26:15
  tonight.
• 26:16
  I
• 26:16
  figured
• 26:16
  that
• 26:16
  Section
• 26:17
  8,
• 26:17
  being
• 26:18
  the
• 26:18
  governing
• 26:18
  body
• 26:18
  of
• 26:19
  sports
• 26:19
  might
• 26:19
  be
• 26:20
  the
• 26:20
  last
• 26:21
  word
• 26:21
  on
• 26:21
  this,
• 26:22
  but
• 26:22
  I
• 26:22
  guess
• 26:22
  not.
• 26:24
  In
• 26:24
  fact,
• 26:24
  Dave,
• 26:25
  you
• 26:25
  know,
• 26:25
  Pat
• 26:25
  Deserrilla
• 26:26
  said
• 26:26
  several
• 26:26
  times,
• 26:27
  and
• 26:27
  he
• 26:27
  called
• 26:28
  both
• 26:28
  the
• 26:28
  superintendent
• 26:29
  and
• 26:29
  the
• 26:29
  athletic
• 26:29
  director
• 26:30
  and
• 26:30
  let
• 26:30
  it
• 26:30
  be
• 26:31
  known
• 26:31
  personally.
• 26:31
  Personally
• 26:31
  that
• 26:31
  it
• 26:32
  was
• 26:32
  allowed.
• 26:32
  So
• 26:35
  getting
• 26:35
  a
• 26:35
  little
• 26:36
  baffled
• 26:36
  by
• 26:36
  the
• 26:36
  whole
• 26:37
  thing.
• 26:37
  But
• 26:37
  it
• 26:37
  does
• 26:38
  happen
• 26:38
  all
• 26:38
  over
• 26:38
  the
• 26:38
  place.
• 26:38
  And
• 26:39
  it
• 26:39
  happens.
• 26:39
  And
• 26:39
  it's
• 26:40
  able
• 26:40
  to
• 26:40
  happen
• 26:41
  because
• 26:41
  the
• 26:41
  coaches
• 26:42
  sit
• 26:42
  down
• 26:43
  and
• 26:43
  they
• 26:43
  work
• 26:43
  out
• 26:44
  the
• 26:44
  schedules.
• 26:44
  You
• 26:45
  know,
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  kid
• 26:45
  chooses
• 26:45
  a
• 26:46
  priority.
• 26:46
  I'm
• 26:47
  going
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  make
• 26:47
  this
• 26:47
  and
• 26:47
  make
• 26:47
  this.
• 26:48
  Are
• 26:48
  you
• 26:48
  guys
• 26:48
  okay
• 26:48
  with
• 26:48
  it?
• 26:49
  Sure
• 26:49
  we
• 26:49
  are.
• 26:49
  And
• 26:50
  then
• 26:50
  let's
• 26:50
  move
• 26:50
  forward.
• 26:51
  And
• 26:52
  that
• 26:52
  never
• 26:52
  happened.
• 26:52
  There
• 26:53
  was
• 26:53
  never
• 26:53
  the
• 26:54
  adults
• 26:54
  in
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  room,
• 26:54
  so
• 26:55
  to
• 26:55
  speak.
• 26:55
  The
• 26:55
  coaches
• 26:55
  and
• 26:56
  the
• 26:56
  athletic
• 26:56
  director
• 26:57
  never
• 26:57
  sat
• 26:58
  down
• 26:58
  and
• 26:59
  had
• 26:59
  a
• 26:59
  conversation
• 27:00
  to
• 27:01
  see
• 27:01
  if
• 27:01
  it
• 27:01
  could
• 27:01
  possibly
• 27:02
  work.
• 27:02
  And
• 27:03
  that's.
• 27:04
  That's
• 27:04
  a
• 27:04
  shame.
• 27:05
  I'm
• 27:05
  sure
• 27:05
  on
• 27:05
  your
• 27:05
  end
• 27:07
  you're
• 27:07
  working
• 27:07
  on
• 27:07
  with
• 27:07
  basketball
• 27:08
  and
• 27:08
  track
• 27:08
  and
• 27:08
  you
• 27:09
  say,
• 27:09
  okay,
• 27:09
  he's
• 27:09
  going
• 27:09
  to
• 27:09
  miss
• 27:09
  this
• 27:10
  and
• 27:10
  miss
• 27:10
  this,
• 27:10
  and
• 27:10
  are
• 27:10
  we
• 27:10
  okay
• 27:11
  with
• 27:11
  it?
• 27:11
  Sure,
• 27:11
  let's
• 27:11
  go.
• 27:12
  It's
• 27:12
  good
• 27:13
  for
• 27:13
  the
• 27:13
  kid.
• 27:13
  Well,
• 27:14
  like
• 27:14
  you
• 27:14
  said,
• 27:15
  it's
• 27:15
  all
• 27:15
  about
• 27:15
  happy.
• 27:17
  Well,
• 27:18
  we
• 27:18
  appreciate
• 27:18
  both
• 27:18
  of
• 27:19
  you
• 27:19
  coming
• 27:19
  on.
• 27:19
  Ryan,
• 27:19
  I
• 27:20
  just
• 27:20
  want
• 27:20
  to
• 27:20
  give
• 27:20
  you
• 27:20
  the
• 27:20
  last
• 27:21
  chance
• 27:21
  to
• 27:21
  say
• 27:22
  anything
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  wanted
• 27:22
  to
• 27:23
  say
• 27:23
  that
• 27:23
  we
• 27:23
  didn't
• 27:23
  ask
• 27:23
  you
• 27:23
  tonight.
• 27:26
  Not.
• 27:26
  I
• 27:26
  think
• 27:27
  you
• 27:27
  basically
• 27:27
  covered
• 27:27
  it
• 27:27
  all
• 27:28
  well.
• 27:29
  Again,
• 27:30
  I
• 27:30
  hope
• 27:30
  you
• 27:30
  can
• 27:30
  get
• 27:31
  yourself
• 27:31
  back
• 27:31
  out
• 27:31
  there
• 27:32
  because
• 27:32
  you've
• 27:32
  been
• 27:32
  playing
• 27:32
  soccer
• 27:33
  since
• 27:33
  you're
• 27:33
  a
• 27:33
  little
• 27:33
  kid.
• 27:34
  We
• 27:34
  know
• 27:35
  you're
• 27:35
  going
• 27:35
  to
• 27:35
  be
• 27:35
  out
• 27:35
  there
• 27:35
  on
• 27:36
  the
• 27:36
  football
• 27:36
  field
• 27:36
  eventually
• 27:37
  on
• 27:37
  the
• 27:37
  basketball
• 27:38
  court
• 27:38
  again,
• 27:39
  and
• 27:39
  that's
• 27:39
  why
• 27:40
  I'm
• 27:40
  glad
• 27:40
  you
• 27:40
  still
• 27:40
  have
• 27:41
  that.
• 27:41
  But
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  just
• 27:41
  feel
• 27:41
  like
• 27:42
  for
• 27:42
  something
• 27:42
  you've
• 27:42
  done
• 27:43
  for
• 27:43
  so
• 27:43
  long,
• 27:43
  you
• 27:44
  know,
• 27:44
  give
• 27:44
  it
• 27:44
  another
• 27:45
  shot
• 27:45
  and,
• 27:46
  you
• 27:46
  know,
• 27:46
  maybe
• 27:46
  something
• 27:47
  happens
• 27:47
  in
• 27:47
  the
• 27:47
  next
• 27:48
  couple
• 27:48
  of
• 27:48
  weeks
• 27:48
  and
• 27:48
  we
• 27:48
  can
• 27:48
  get
• 27:49
  this
• 27:49
  going.
• 27:50
  Yeah,
• 27:50
  hopefully.
• 27:51
  Yep,
• 27:52
  that'll
• 27:52
  be
• 27:52
  great.
• 27:53
  It
• 27:53
  certainly
• 27:53
  seems,
• 27:53
  though,
• 27:54
  whatever
• 27:54
  happens,
• 27:54
  that
• 27:55
  you're
• 27:55
  the
• 27:55
  kind
• 27:55
  of
• 27:55
  kid
• 27:55
  that's
• 27:56
  going
• 27:56
  to
• 27:56
  take
• 27:56
  this
• 27:56
  and
• 27:57
  use
• 27:57
  it
• 27:57
  to
• 27:57
  your
• 27:57
  advantage
• 27:58
  and
• 27:59
  gain
• 28:00
  strength
• 28:00
  from
• 28:00
  it
• 28:00
  and
• 28:01
  be
• 28:01
  a
• 28:02
  role
• 28:02
  model
• 28:02
  out
• 28:02
  of
• 28:02
  this
• 28:02
  because
• 28:03
  you're
• 28:03
  doing
• 28:03
  great
• 28:03
  so
• 28:03
  far.
• 28:04
  Hang
• 28:05
  in
• 28:05
  there.
• 28:05
  And
• 28:05
  no
• 28:06
  matter
• 28:06
  what
• 28:06
  happens,
• 28:06
  we

  Take

  All
• 28:24
  right.
• 28:24
  So
• 28:25
  just
• 28:25
  a
• 28:26
  real
• 28:26
  kind
• 28:26
  of
• 28:27
  head
• 28:27
  scratcher
• 28:27
  here.
• 28:28
  You
• 28:29
  know,
• 28:31
  it's
• 28:31
  tough
• 28:31
  for
• 28:32
  me
• 28:32
  having
• 28:33
  being
• 28:33
  a
• 28:33
  coach
• 28:34
  and,
• 28:34
  you
• 28:34
  know,
• 28:35
  coaching
• 28:35
  against
• 28:35
  the
• 28:35
  district
• 28:36
  that
• 28:36
  he's
• 28:37
  in
• 28:37
  and
• 28:38
  certain
• 28:39
  people.
• 28:39
  So
• 28:39
  I
• 28:40
  want
• 28:40
  to
• 28:40
  try
• 28:40
  to
• 28:40
  kind
• 28:40
  of
• 28:41
  stay
• 28:41
  out
• 28:41
  of
• 28:41
  it
• 28:42
  in
• 28:42
  terms
• 28:42
  of,
• 28:42
  I
• 28:42
  mean,
• 28:43
  you
• 28:43
  could
• 28:43
  probably
• 28:43
  tell
• 28:44
  that
• 28:44
  at
• 28:45
  least
• 28:45
  I'm,
• 28:45
  I'm
• 28:46
  pulling
• 28:46
  for
• 28:46
  the
• 28:46
  kid
• 28:47
  to
• 28:49
  do
• 28:49
  or
• 28:50
  to
• 28:50
  get
• 28:50
  to
• 28:50
  do
• 28:50
  what
• 28:50
  he
• 28:51
  wants
• 28:51
  to
• 28:51
  do.
• 28:51
  Mike,
• 28:51
  if
• 28:52
  your
• 28:52
  best
• 28:52
  friend
• 28:52
  was
• 28:52
  the
• 28:52
  coach
• 28:53
  of
• 28:53
  the,
• 28:53
  of
• 28:53
  the
• 28:53
  team
• 28:54
  that
• 28:54
  wasn't
• 28:54
  letting
• 28:54
  him
• 28:54
  play,
• 28:55
  you'd
• 28:55
  still
• 28:55
  want
• 28:55
  the
• 28:55
  kid
• 28:55
  to
• 28:55
  play.
• 28:56
  Of
• 28:56
  course,
• 28:56
  you
• 28:57
  know,
• 28:57
  it
• 28:57
  just,
• 28:57
  you
• 28:58
  get
• 28:58
  to
• 28:58
  a
• 28:58
  point
• 28:58
  where
• 28:58
  it's
• 28:59
  like,
• 28:59
  why
• 28:59
  are
• 28:59
  we
• 28:59
  restricting
• 29:00
  kids
• 29:00
  from
• 29:01
  doing
• 29:01
  things?
• 29:01
  I
• 29:01
  hope
• 29:02
  it's
• 29:02
  just
• 29:02
  not.
• 29:02
  You
• 29:02
  know,
• 29:03
  when
• 29:03
  Covid
• 29:04
  came
• 29:04
  around,
• 29:04
  the
• 29:04
  last
• 29:05
  thing
• 29:05
  you
• 29:05
  wanted
• 29:05
  to
• 29:05
  do
• 29:06
  was
• 29:06
  restrict
• 29:07
  kids
• 29:07
  from
• 29:07
  playing
• 29:08
  a
• 29:08
  sport
• 29:08
  just
• 29:09
  because
• 29:09
  of
• 29:09
  something
• 29:09
  going
• 29:10
  on
• 29:10
  around
• 29:10
  here.
• 29:10
  But
• 29:11
  yeah,
• 29:12
  we
• 29:13
  were
• 29:13
  so,
• 29:13
  I
• 29:13
  mean,
• 29:13
  we're
• 29:13
  talking
• 29:14
  five
• 29:14
  years
• 29:14
  ago
• 29:14
  where
• 29:14
  it
• 29:15
  was
• 29:15
  like
• 29:15
  we
• 29:15
  were
• 29:15
  barely
• 29:16
  happy
• 29:16
  to
• 29:17
  get
• 29:17
  anybody
• 29:17
  on

  first

  time,
• 31:17
  I
• 31:17
  will
• 31:18
  tell
• 31:18
  you
• 31:18
  the
• 31:18
  Mets
• 31:18
  are
• 31:18
  a
• 31:18
  big
• 31:19
  part
• 31:19
  of
• 31:19
  it.
• 31:20
  And
• 31:21
  with
• 31:21
  Cappy
• 31:21
  being
• 31:22
  part
• 31:22
  of
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  seven
• 31:22
  line
• 31:23
  army,
• 31:24
  he's
• 31:25
  scribbling
• 31:25
  on
• 31:26
  the
• 31:26
  other
• 31:26
  side
• 31:26
  of
• 31:26
  the
• 31:26
  if
• 31:27
  you
• 31:27
  could
• 31:27
  see
• 31:27
  right
• 31:27
  now,
• 31:28
  I
• 31:29
  don't
• 31:29
  want
• 31:29
  to
• 31:29
  say
• 31:29
  give
• 31:30
  it
• 31:30
  out
• 31:31
  right
• 31:31
  now
• 31:31
  what
• 31:31
  he's
• 31:32
  writing
• 31:32
  down.
• 31:32
  It's
• 31:32
  not
• 31:33
  bad,
• 31:33
  but
• 31:34
  it's
• 31:37
  pretty
• 31:37
  aggressive
• 31:39
  because
• 31:39
  he's
• 31:40
  there
• 31:40
  all
• 31:40
  the
• 31:40
  time
• 31:40
  and
• 31:41
  he
• 31:41
  knows
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  team
• 31:41
  a
• 31:41
  lot
• 31:42
  better
• 31:42
  than
• 31:42
  I
• 31:42
  do.
• 31:43
  But
• 31:44
  can
• 31:44
  I
• 31:45
  say
• 31:45
  what
• 31:45
  it
• 31:45
  says
• 31:45
  there?
• 31:45
  Yeah,
• 31:46
  I
• 31:46
  don't
• 31:46
  care.
• 31:46
  It
• 31:47
  says
• 31:47
  Mets
• 31:48
  and
• 31:48
  then
• 31:48
  D
• 31:49
  O
• 31:49
  N
• 31:49
  E
• 31:50
  with
• 31:50
  an
• 31:50
  exclamation
• 31:51
  point
• 31:52
  in
• 31:52
  big
• 31:52
  letters.
• 31:54
  But
• 31:54
  to
• 31:54
  get
• 31:55
  a
• 31:55
  little
• 31:56
  different
• 31:56
  perspective
• 31:57
  on
• 31:57
  it,
• 31:57
  we'll
• 31:57
  welcome
• 31:58
  right
• 31:58
  now
• 31:58
  John
• 31:59
  Hanson
• 32:00
  is
• 32:00
  going
• 32:00
  to
• 32:00
  join
• 32:00
  us.
• 32:01
  And
• 32:01
  John,
• 32:01
  welcome
• 32:02
  to
• 32:02
  the
• 32:02
  program.
• 32:02
  And
• 32:03
  I
• 32:04
  don't
• 32:04
  know
• 32:04
  if
• 32:04
  you
• 32:04
  feel
• 32:04
  the
• 32:04
  same
• 32:05
  way,
• 32:05
  but
• 32:06
  I'm
• 32:07
  going
• 32:07
  to
• 32:07
  try
• 32:07
  to
• 32:07
  go
• 32:07
  a
• 32:08
  little
• 32:08
  bit
• 32:08
  that
• 32:08
  they're
• 32:08
  not
• 32:08
  done.
• 32:09
  But
• 32:10
  what
• 32:10
  are
• 32:10
  your
• 32:11
  thoughts
• 32:11
  going
• 32:11
  into
• 32:11
  a
• 32:12
  series
• 32:12
  with
• 32:12
  the
• 32:12
  Cubs?
• 32:13
  I
• 32:14
  think
• 32:14
  it's
• 32:14
  hard
• 32:14
  to
• 32:14
  hey,
• 32:15
  Mike
• 32:15
  and
• 32:15
  Chris,
• 32:16
  I
• 32:16
  think
• 32:16
  it's
• 32:16
  hard
• 32:17
  to
• 32:18
  to
• 32:18
  say
• 32:18
  that
• 32:18
  they're
• 32:18
  not
• 32:18
  done.
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  hate
• 32:19
  to
• 32:20
  say
• 32:20
  that
• 32:20
  I
• 32:21
  agree
• 32:21
  with
• 32:21
  Chris,
• 32:22
  but
• 32:23
  there's
• 32:23
  no
• 32:23
  reason
• 32:24
  that
• 32:24
  this
• 32:24
  team
• 32:25
  has
• 32:25
  given
• 32:25
  us
• 32:26
  since,
• 32:26
  you
• 32:27
  know,
• 32:27
  mid
• 32:27
  June
• 32:28
  to
• 32:29
  think
• 32:29
  anything
• 32:29
  else.
• 32:30
  I
• 32:30
  mean
• 32:30
  they're
• 32:30
  712
• 32:31
  the
• 32:31
  month
• 32:31
  of
• 32:32
  September
• 32:32
  when
• 32:33
  they
• 32:33
  had
• 32:33
  everything
• 32:34
  right
• 32:34
  in
• 32:34
  front
• 32:34
  of
• 32:34
  them.
• 32:35
  That's
• 32:35
  coming
• 32:35
  off
• 32:36
  a
• 32:36
  month
• 32:36
  in
• 32:36
  August
• 32:37
  where
• 32:37
  they
• 32:37
  went
• 32:38
  11,
• 32:39
  17.
• 32:40
  I
• 32:40
  mean
• 32:40
  they've
• 32:40
  played
• 32:40
  405
• 32:41
  baseball
• 32:42
  since
• 32:44
  mid
• 32:44
  June.
• 32:45
  So
• 32:45
  to
• 32:45
  think
• 32:45
  now
• 32:46
  that
• 32:46
  they're
• 32:46
  going
• 32:46
  to
• 32:46
  come
• 32:47
  out
• 32:47
  and
• 32:47
  somehow
• 32:48
  win
• 32:48
  five
• 32:49
  of
• 32:49
  their
• 32:49
  last
• 32:50
  six
• 32:50
  when
• 32:51
  they
• 32:51
  haven't
• 32:51
  done
• 32:52
  that
• 32:52
  in
• 32:53
  God
• 32:53
  knows
• 32:54
  how
• 32:54
  long,
• 32:55
  it's
• 32:55
  hard
• 32:55
  to
• 32:56
  see
• 32:56
  how
• 32:56
  they
• 32:56
  can
• 32:57
  do
• 32:57
  that
• 32:57
  on
• 32:58
  top
• 32:58
  of
• 32:59
  the
• 32:59
  fact
• 32:59
  that
• 32:59
  they
• 32:59
  don't
• 33:00
  have
• 33:00
  the
• 33:00
  tiebreaker
• 33:01
  with
• 33:01
  Cincinnati
• 33:02
  or
• 33:02
  Arizona.
• 33:03
  Remember,
• 33:03
  there's
• 33:03
  no
• 33:03
  more
• 33:04
  game
• 33:05
  163.
• 33:06
  Yep.
• 33:07
  So
• 33:08
  you
• 33:08
  know,
• 33:08
  it
• 33:09
  it's
• 33:09
  going
• 33:10
  to
• 33:10
  be
• 33:10
  hard
• 33:10
  to
• 33:10
  see
• 33:10
  that
• 33:11
  especially,
• 33:11
  you
• 33:11
  know,
• 33:12
  again,
• 33:13
  they've
• 33:13
  done
• 33:13
  nothing.
• 33:14
  I
• 33:14
  think
• 33:14
  the
• 33:15
  most
• 33:15
  likely
• 33:15
  outcome,
• 33:16
  Mike
• 33:16
  and
• 33:16
  Chris,
• 33:16
  is
• 33:17
  they
• 33:17
  win
• 33:17
  two
• 33:17
  out
• 33:17
  of
• 33:17
  three
• 33:18
  in
• 33:18
  Chicago
• 33:18
  and
• 33:19
  they
• 33:19
  lose
• 33:19
  two
• 33:19
  out
• 33:20
  of
• 33:20
  three
• 33:20
  in
• 33:20
  Miami
• 33:21
  when
• 33:21
  they
• 33:21
  if
• 33:22
  they
• 33:22
  win
• 33:22
  two
• 33:22
  out
• 33:22
  of
• 33:23
  three,
• 33:23
  they
• 33:23
  be
• 33:23
  in.
• 33:24
  But
• 33:24
  you
• 33:25
  know,
• 33:25
  again
• 33:26
  I
• 33:26
  think
• 33:26
  the
• 33:26
  three
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  us
• 33:27
  could
• 33:27
  put
• 33:27
  on
• 33:27
  Marlins
• 33:28
  uniforms
• 33:28
  and
• 33:28
  beat
• 33:29
  the
• 33:29
  Mets
• 33:29
  the
• 33:29
  last
• 33:30
  weekend
• 33:30
  of
• 33:30
  the
• 33:30
  season
• 33:31
  based
• 33:31
  on
• 33:31
  history.
• 33:32
  So
• 33:33
  you're
• 33:33
  right,
• 33:33
  Mike,
• 33:34
  they're
• 33:34
  not
• 33:34
  mathematically
• 33:35
  done,
• 33:36
  but
• 33:36
  this
• 33:36
  team
• 33:37
  seems
• 33:37
  like
• 33:37
  they've
• 33:37
  been,
• 33:38
  they've
• 33:38
  been
• 33:38
  done
• 33:38
  for
• 33:39
  some
• 33:39
  time.
• 33:39
  Yes.
• 33:40
  And
• 33:40
  I
• 33:40
  think,
• 33:40
  John,
• 33:40
  you're
• 33:40
  right.
• 33:41
  It's
• 33:41
  going
• 33:41
  to
• 33:41
  come
• 33:41
  down
• 33:41
  to
• 33:42
  the
• 33:42
  last
• 33:42
  weekend
• 33:42
  in
• 33:42
  Miami,
• 33:43
  but
• 33:43
  not
• 33:43
  to
• 33:44
  a
• 33:44
  point
• 33:44
  where
• 33:44
  the
• 33:44
  Mets
• 33:45
  control
• 33:45
  their
• 33:45
  own
• 33:45
  destiny.
• 33:46
  They're
• 33:46
  not
• 33:46
  going
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  be
• 33:47
  a
• 33:47
  game
• 33:48
  up
• 33:48
  on
• 33:50
  either
• 33:51
  the
• 33:51
  Diamondbacks
• 33:52
  or
• 33:52
  Cincinnati.
• 33:53
  They
• 33:53
  are
• 33:53
  going
• 33:54
  to
• 33:54
  be
• 33:54
  either
• 33:54
  even,
• 33:55
  which
• 33:55
  really
• 33:55
  means
• 33:55
  they're
• 33:56
  a
• 33:56
  half
• 33:56
  game
• 33:56
  behind
• 33:57
  or
• 33:57
  even
• 33:57
  worse.
• 33:58
  You
• 33:58
  know,
• 33:58
  we've
• 33:59
  talked
• 33:59
  about
• 33:59
  this.
• 33:59
  Sit
• 33:59
  there.
• 34:00
  You
• 34:00
  know,
• 34:00
  you
• 34:00
  and
• 34:00
  I
• 34:00
  can
• 34:01
  talk
• 34:01
  and
• 34:01
  say,
• 34:01
  oh,
• 34:01
  well,
• 34:01
  86
• 34:02
  wins
• 34:03
  might
• 34:03
  get
• 34:03
  you
• 34:03
  in
• 34:03
  and,
• 34:04
  and
• 34:04
  88
• 34:05
  wins
• 34:05
  and
• 34:05
  this
• 34:05
  and
• 34:06
  that.
• 34:06
  There's
• 34:07
  a
• 34:07
  chance
• 34:07
  that
• 34:07
  this
• 34:07
  team
• 34:08
  could
• 34:08
  finish
• 34:08
  under.500,
• 34:10
  you
• 34:10
  know,
• 34:10
  by,
• 34:10
  by
• 34:11
  losing
• 34:11
  the
• 34:11
  last
• 34:11
  six
• 34:12
  games
• 34:12
  of
• 34:12
  the
• 34:12
  season
• 34:12
  or
• 34:12
  finish
• 34:13
  at
• 34:13
  81
• 34:13
  and
• 34:13
  81,
• 34:14
  which
• 34:14
  is
• 34:15
  a
• 34:15
  downright
• 34:15
  disappointment.
• 34:16
  When
• 34:16
  you
• 34:16
  start
• 34:17
  the
• 34:17
  season
• 34:17
  out
• 34:17
  45
• 34:18
  and
• 34:18
  23,
• 34:19
  it's
• 34:19
  an
• 34:19
  absolute.
• 34:20
  Another
• 34:21
  collapse.
• 34:22
  And
• 34:22
  this
• 34:23
  is
• 34:23
  unacceptable.
• 34:24
  And
• 34:24
  sitting
• 34:25
  here
• 34:25
  and
• 34:25
  watching
• 34:25
  this
• 34:25
  team
• 34:26
  go
• 34:26
  through
• 34:26
  this
• 34:27
  day
• 34:27
  after
• 34:28
  day
• 34:28
  after
• 34:28
  day
• 34:29
  and
• 34:29
  finding
• 34:29
  a
• 34:29
  way
• 34:29
  to
• 34:30
  lose
• 34:31
  and
• 34:31
  nothing
• 34:32
  changes.
• 34:32
  And
• 34:32
  all
• 34:33
  I
• 34:33
  keep
• 34:33
  hearing
• 34:33
  is,
• 34:34
  look
• 34:34
  in
• 34:34
  that
• 34:34
  clubhouse,
• 34:35
  there's
• 34:35
  talent
• 34:35
  over
• 34:35
  there.
• 34:36
  You
• 34:36
  know,
• 34:36
  someone's
• 34:36
  gonna
• 34:37
  come
• 34:37
  through.
• 34:37
  No,
• 34:37
  they're
• 34:38
  not.
• 34:38
  This
• 34:39
  is
• 34:39
  awful.
• 34:39
  And
• 34:40
  I
• 34:40
  feel
• 34:40
  bad
• 34:40
  for
• 34:40
  these
• 34:41
  young
• 34:41
  kids
• 34:41
  that
• 34:41
  have
• 34:41
  been
• 34:41
  called
• 34:42
  up.
• 34:44
  Well,
• 34:44
  the
• 34:44
  truth
• 34:45
  is
• 34:45
  now,
• 34:45
  you
• 34:45
  know,
• 34:45
  if
• 34:45
  you
• 34:46
  look
• 34:46
  over
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  last
• 34:47
  week
• 34:47
  or
• 34:48
  so,
• 34:48
  there's
• 34:48
  three,
• 34:48
  there's
• 34:49
  three
• 34:49
  guys
• 34:50
  that
• 34:50
  are
• 34:50
  doing
• 34:50
  it.
• 34:50
  It's,
• 34:51
  it's
• 34:51
  Lindor,
• 34:52
  Soto
• 34:52
  and
• 34:53
  Alonzo.
• 34:53
  Other
• 34:54
  than
• 34:54
  that,
• 34:55
  every,
• 34:55
  I
• 34:55
  mean,
• 34:55
  Marque's
• 34:56
  been
• 34:56
  pretty
• 34:56
  good,
• 34:57
  but
• 34:57
  he's
• 34:57
  a
• 34:57
  part.
• 34:57
  Time
• 34:58
  player,
• 34:58
  can't
• 34:58
  play
• 34:58
  every
• 34:59
  day.
• 34:59
  Nemo's
• 34:59
  done,
• 35:00
  Nimmo's
• 35:01
  done
• 35:01
  nothing.
• 35:01
  I
• 35:02
  mean,
• 35:02
  Nimmo
• 35:02
  yesterday,
• 35:03
  coming
• 35:04
  up
• 35:04
  with
• 35:04
  the
• 35:04
  bases
• 35:05
  loaded,
• 35:05
  that
• 35:05
  was
• 35:05
  it,
• 35:05
  in
• 35:06
  the
• 35:06
  bottom
• 35:06
  of
• 35:06
  the
• 35:06
  ninth,
• 35:07
  striking
• 35:07
  out.
• 35:08
  That's,
• 35:09
  that's,
• 35:09
  you
• 35:10
  got
• 35:10
  to
• 35:10
  put
• 35:10
  the
• 35:10
  ball
• 35:11
  in
• 35:11
  play.
• 35:11
  And
• 35:12
  John,
• 35:12
  that's,
• 35:13
  that's
• 35:13
  a
• 35:13
  righty
• 35:14
  against
• 35:14
  a
• 35:14
  lefty.
• 35:14
  You
• 35:15
  got
• 35:15
  to
• 35:15
  put
• 35:15
  the
• 35:15
  ball
• 35:15
  in
• 35:16
  play.
• 35:16
  That
• 35:16
  was
• 35:16
  the
• 35:16
  season
• 35:17
  right
• 35:17
  there,
• 35:17
  you
• 35:18
  know,
• 35:18
  that
• 35:18
  was
• 35:18
  the
• 35:18
  absolute.
• 35:19
  They
• 35:19
  had
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  win
• 35:20
  that
• 35:20
  game.
• 35:20
  I'm
• 35:21
  going
• 35:21
  through
• 35:21
  this
• 35:21
  game.
• 35:22
  They
• 35:22
  Got
• 35:22
  it
• 35:22
  to
• 35:22
  3,
• 35:23
  2
• 35:23
  on
• 35:23
  a
• 35:23
  Vientos
• 35:24
  double.
• 35:24
  Okay?
• 35:25
  Then
• 35:26
  they,
• 35:26
  they
• 35:27
  go
• 35:27
  into
• 35:27
  the,
• 35:27
  and
• 35:27
  obviously
• 35:28
  they,
• 35:28
  you
• 35:28
  know,
• 35:28
  with
• 35:28
  Vientos
• 35:29
  on
• 35:29
  base,
• 35:29
  they
• 35:29
  had
• 35:30
  a
• 35:30
  chance
• 35:30
  to
• 35:30
  tie
• 35:30
  the
• 35:30
  game,
• 35:31
  didn't
• 35:31
  go
• 35:31
  into
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  ninth
• 35:32
  inning.
• 35:32
  Soto
• 35:33
  singles
• 35:33
  to
• 35:33
  tie
• 35:34
  the
• 35:34
  game.
• 35:34
  Three
• 35:34
  Three.
• 35:35
  Everybody's
• 35:35
  going
• 35:35
  crazy.
• 35:37
  Now,
• 35:37
  here's
• 35:38
  one
• 35:38
  of
• 35:38
  the
• 35:38
  things
• 35:38
  that
• 35:39
  I
• 35:39
  have
• 35:39
  as
• 35:39
  a
• 35:39
  negative
• 35:39
  against
• 35:40
  Soto.
• 35:40
  I
• 35:40
  think
• 35:40
  he's
• 35:41
  been
• 35:41
  great
• 35:42
  today.
• 35:42
  Gets
• 35:42
  picked
• 35:42
  off
• 35:43
  base
• 35:43
  because
• 35:43
  he's
• 35:43
  trying
• 35:43
  to
• 35:43
  get
• 35:44
  to
• 35:44
  40.
• 35:44
  40,
• 35:44
  okay.
• 35:46
  And
• 35:46
  then
• 35:46
  yesterday,
• 35:47
  Lindor
• 35:48
  steals
• 35:49
  third,
• 35:50
  and
• 35:50
  Soto
• 35:51
  follows
• 35:51
  him.
• 35:52
  By
• 35:52
  Soto
• 35:52
  following
• 35:53
  him,
• 35:53
  do
• 35:53
  you
• 35:53
  know
• 35:53
  what
• 35:53
  they
• 35:54
  did?
• 35:55
  Sure.
• 35:56
  They
• 35:56
  intentionally
• 35:57
  walk
• 35:57
  Alonso,
• 35:58
  and
• 35:58
  that's
• 35:58
  like
• 35:58
  a
• 35:59
  selfish
• 35:59
  move.
• 35:59
  Otherwise,
• 36:00
  Alonso
• 36:00
  would
• 36:00
  have
• 36:01
  had
• 36:01
  a
• 36:01
  chance
• 36:01
  to
• 36:01
  end
• 36:01
  the
• 36:01
  game.
• 36:02
  Nimmo
• 36:02
  strikes
• 36:02
  out.
• 36:03
  Marte
• 36:03
  strikes
• 36:03
  out.
• 36:04
  We
• 36:04
  go
• 36:04
  to
• 36:04
  the
• 36:04
  10th
• 36:05
  inning,
• 36:05
  and
• 36:06
  you
• 36:06
  get
• 36:06
  that
• 36:06
  weird
• 36:06
  bunt
• 36:07
  single
• 36:07
  by
• 36:07
  Acuna.
• 36:08
  Now
• 36:08
  first
• 36:09
  and
• 36:09
  second.
• 36:09
  Alvarez
• 36:10
  grounds
• 36:11
  into
• 36:11
  a
• 36:11
  double
• 36:11
  plate.
• 36:12
  I
• 36:12
  know
• 36:12
  there's
• 36:13
  nobody
• 36:13
  left
• 36:13
  on
• 36:13
  the
• 36:14
  bench
• 36:14
  and
• 36:14
  his
• 36:14
  fingers
• 36:15
  messed
• 36:15
  up,
• 36:15
  but
• 36:16
  Alvarez
• 36:16
  needs
• 36:16
  to
• 36:16
  bunt
• 36:17
  there.
• 36:17
  You
• 36:17
  need
• 36:17
  to
• 36:18
  get
• 36:18
  the
• 36:18
  guy
• 36:18
  over
• 36:18
  to
• 36:19
  third
• 36:19
  base.
• 36:21
  I
• 36:22
  agree,
• 36:22
  but,
• 36:22
  I
• 36:22
  mean,
• 36:22
  that's
• 36:23
  a
• 36:23
  lost
• 36:23
  art
• 36:23
  in
• 36:24
  today's
• 36:24
  game.
• 36:24
  Very
• 36:25
  few
• 36:25
  guys
• 36:25
  know
• 36:25
  how
• 36:26
  to
• 36:26
  bunt.
• 36:27
  Let's
• 36:27
  be
• 36:27
  fair.
• 36:27
  Even
• 36:28
  Acuna's
• 36:29
  bunt
• 36:29
  wasn't
• 36:30
  anything.
• 36:30
  I
• 36:30
  mean,
• 36:31
  he
• 36:31
  was
• 36:31
  lucky
• 36:31
  that
• 36:32
  that
• 36:32
  wasn't,
• 36:32
  you
• 36:32
  know,
• 36:32
  caught
• 36:33
  in
• 36:33
  the
• 36:33
  air
• 36:33
  like
• 36:33
  the
• 36:34
  Cincinnati
• 36:34
  was
• 36:35
  in
• 36:35
  the
• 36:36
  previous
• 36:36
  inning.
• 36:37
  And
• 36:38
  even,
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  know,
• 36:38
  and
• 36:39
  I
• 36:39
  understand
• 36:39
  what
• 36:39
  you're
• 36:40
  saying
• 36:40
  about
• 36:40
  Lindor
• 36:41
  and
• 36:41
  Soto
• 36:42
  trailing
• 36:42
  him,
• 36:42
  but
• 36:43
  the
• 36:43
  fact
• 36:43
  is,
• 36:43
  in
• 36:43
  the
• 36:44
  bottom
• 36:44
  of
• 36:44
  the
• 36:44
  ninth,
• 36:45
  you
• 36:45
  know,
• 36:45
  it
• 36:45
  wouldn't
• 36:46
  have
• 36:46
  shocked
• 36:46
  me
• 36:46
  either
• 36:47
  if
• 36:47
  they
• 36:47
  walked
• 36:47
  Alonzo
• 36:48
  anyway.
• 36:49
  Soto's
• 36:49
  run
• 36:50
  at
• 36:51
  that
• 36:51
  point
• 36:51
  meant
• 36:51
  nothing.
• 36:53
  So
• 36:53
  they
• 36:53
  might
• 36:54
  have
• 36:54
  felt
• 36:54
  better
• 36:55
  versus
• 36:55
  nimble
• 36:55
  than
• 36:56
  allowing
• 36:57
  Alonzo
• 36:58
  to
• 36:58
  possibly
• 36:58
  get
• 36:59
  a
• 36:59
  fly
• 36:59
  ball
• 37:00
  in
• 37:00
  the
• 37:00
  game.
• 37:00
  I
• 37:01
  think
• 37:01
  Alonso,
• 37:01
  they
• 37:02
  think,
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  possibly
• 37:03
  going
• 37:03
  to
• 37:03
  hit
• 37:03
  into
• 37:03
  a
• 37:03
  double
• 37:04
  play
• 37:04
  at
• 37:04
  that
• 37:04
  point,
• 37:04
  because
• 37:05
  he
• 37:05
  just
• 37:05
  always
• 37:05
  does.
• 37:05
  But,
• 37:07
  John,
• 37:07
  it's
• 37:08
  just
• 37:08
  been
• 37:08
  day
• 37:08
  after
• 37:09
  day
• 37:09
  and
• 37:09
  today
• 37:10
  the
• 37:10
  same
• 37:10
  things,
• 37:11
  and
• 37:11
  all
• 37:11
  we
• 37:11
  keep
• 37:11
  doing
• 37:12
  is
• 37:12
  throwing
• 37:12
  the
• 37:12
  same
• 37:13
  stuff
• 37:13
  out
• 37:13
  there.
• 37:13
  And
• 37:14
  then
• 37:14
  what's
• 37:14
  with
• 37:14
  Mendoza
• 37:15
  today
• 37:15
  putting
• 37:16
  mania
• 37:16
  in
• 37:16
  as
• 37:17
  the
• 37:17
  first
• 37:17
  guy
• 37:17
  and
• 37:18
  Clay
• 37:18
  Holmes
• 37:18
  is
• 37:18
  the
• 37:19
  second
• 37:19
  guy
• 37:19
  when
• 37:20
  last
• 37:20
  time
• 37:20
  the
• 37:20
  piggyback
• 37:21
  worked
• 37:21
  well,
• 37:21
  the
• 37:21
  other
• 37:22
  way.
• 37:22
  It's
• 37:22
  absolute,
• 37:23
  asinine
• 37:24
  moves
• 37:24
  that
• 37:24
  he's
• 37:25
  making.
• 37:26
  I
• 37:26
  have
• 37:26
  no
• 37:27
  faith
• 37:27
  in
• 37:27
  this
• 37:27
  team
• 37:28
  to
• 37:28
  win.
• 37:28
  Because
• 37:29
  here's
• 37:29
  the
• 37:29
  thing,
• 37:29
  John,
• 37:29
  you
• 37:30
  tell
• 37:30
  me
• 37:30
  right
• 37:30
  now,
• 37:31
  okay,
• 37:31
  straight
• 37:31
  up,
• 37:31
  here's
• 37:32
  the
• 37:32
  question
• 37:32
  to
• 37:32
  you.
• 37:33
  The
• 37:33
  Mets
• 37:34
  have
• 37:34
  six
• 37:34
  games
• 37:34
  remaining
• 37:35
  in
• 37:35
  the
• 37:35
  season.
• 37:36
  They
• 37:36
  are
• 37:36
  even,
• 37:37
  which
• 37:37
  means
• 37:37
  they're
• 37:37
  a
• 37:37
  half
• 37:38
  game
• 37:38
  behind.
• 37:38
  How
• 37:39
  many
• 37:39
  games
• 37:39
  do
• 37:39
  the
• 37:40
  Mets
• 37:40
  have
• 37:40
  to
• 37:40
  win
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  pretty
• 37:41
  much
• 37:42
  guarantee
• 37:42
  that
• 37:42
  they're
• 37:42
  in?
• 37:44
  I
• 37:44
  have
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  win
• 37:44
  five
• 37:45
  out
• 37:45
  of
• 37:45
  six.
• 37:45
  Okay.
• 37:46
  That
• 37:46
  means
• 37:46
  that
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  other
• 37:47
  team
• 37:48
  has.
• 37:48
  Whoever's
• 37:49
  below
• 37:49
  them
• 37:49
  has
• 37:49
  to
• 37:49
  go
• 37:49
  4
• 37:50
  and
• 37:50
  2,
• 37:50
  right?
• 37:51
  Yeah.
• 37:52
  Yep.
• 37:52
  And,
• 37:53
  you
• 37:53
  know,
• 37:53
  I
• 37:54
  know
• 37:54
  the
• 37:54
  Cubs
• 37:54
  just
• 37:54
  laid
• 37:55
  down
• 37:55
  it
• 37:55
  with
• 37:55
  Cincinnati,
• 37:56
  but
• 37:56
  they're
• 37:56
  not
• 37:56
  going
• 37:57
  to
• 37:57
  lay
• 37:57
  down
• 37:57
  with
• 37:57
  the
• 37:57
  Mets
• 37:58
  and
• 37:58
  the
• 37:58
  Marlins
• 37:58
  are
• 37:58
  not
• 37:58
  going
• 37:59
  to
• 37:59
  lay
• 37:59
  down
• 37:59
  with
• 37:59
  the
• 37:59
  Mets.
• 38:00
  So
• 38:00
  you're
• 38:00
  expecting
• 38:01
  the
• 38:01
  mess
• 38:01
  to
• 38:01
  win
• 38:01
  five
• 38:02
  out
• 38:02
  of
• 38:02
  six
• 38:02
  when
• 38:02
  they
• 38:02
  haven't
• 38:03
  done
• 38:03
  that
• 38:03
  in
• 38:04
  forever.
• 38:04
  They
• 38:04
  can't
• 38:04
  win
• 38:04
  nine
• 38:05
  out
• 38:05
  of
• 38:05
  15
• 38:05
  games.
• 38:05
  That's
• 38:06
  basically
• 38:06
  what
• 38:06
  we
• 38:06
  asked
• 38:06
  them
• 38:07
  to
• 38:07
  do.
• 38:09
  No,
• 38:09
  I
• 38:09
  don't,
• 38:09
  I
• 38:09
  don't
• 38:10
  think
• 38:10
  they
• 38:10
  will.
• 38:10
  I
• 38:11
  don't,
• 38:11
  I
• 38:12
  don't
• 38:12
  think
• 38:12
  they
• 38:12
  will.
• 38:12
  I
• 38:12
  think
• 38:13
  that
• 38:13
  they'll
• 38:13
  do
• 38:13
  the
• 38:13
  tees.
• 38:14
  I
• 38:14
  think
• 38:15
  they'll
• 38:15
  win,
• 38:16
  you
• 38:16
  know,
• 38:16
  I
• 38:16
  think
• 38:16
  they'll
• 38:16
  win
• 38:17
  two
• 38:17
  out
• 38:17
  of
• 38:17
  three
• 38:17
  in
• 38:17
  Chicago
• 38:18
  right?
• 38:18
  Now,
• 38:19
  remember
• 38:19
  now,
• 38:20
  Chicago
• 38:20
  is
• 38:20
  going
• 38:20
  to
• 38:20
  do
• 38:21
  everything
• 38:21
  they
• 38:21
  can
• 38:21
  to
• 38:22
  line
• 38:22
  up
• 38:22
  their
• 38:22
  pitching,
• 38:23
  correct?
• 38:23
  Because
• 38:24
  they,
• 38:24
  you
• 38:24
  know,
• 38:24
  they
• 38:24
  are
• 38:25
  playing
• 38:25
  in
• 38:25
  the
• 38:25
  first
• 38:25
  round.
• 38:26
  They
• 38:26
  are
• 38:27
  not
• 38:27
  going
• 38:27
  to
• 38:27
  get
• 38:27
  a
• 38:28
  first
• 38:29
  round
• 38:29
  bye.
• 38:30
  So,
• 38:30
  you
• 38:30
  know,
• 38:30
  you
• 38:31
  might
• 38:31
  see
• 38:31
  some
• 38:31
  of
• 38:32
  their
• 38:32
  starters
• 38:32
  come
• 38:32
  in
• 38:33
  for
• 38:33
  3,
• 38:33
  4
• 38:33
  innings
• 38:34
  and
• 38:34
  then
• 38:34
  you
• 38:34
  line
• 38:34
  up
• 38:34
  the
• 38:35
  bullpen
• 38:35
  there.
• 38:38
  And
• 38:38
  I
• 38:38
  think
• 38:38
  that's
• 38:38
  really
• 38:38
  also
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  issue
• 38:39
  with
• 38:39
  Cincinnati
• 38:41
  and
• 38:41
  Arizona
• 38:42
  as
• 38:42
  well,
• 38:43
  because
• 38:43
  Arizona,
• 38:44
  you
• 38:44
  know,
• 38:44
  they're
• 38:45
  going
• 38:45
  to
• 38:45
  be
• 38:45
  playing
• 38:45
  the
• 38:45
  Dodgers
• 38:46
  for
• 38:46
  three.
• 38:46
  Now
• 38:46
  the
• 38:47
  Dodgers
• 38:47
  are
• 38:47
  going
• 38:48
  to
• 38:48
  be
• 38:48
  playing
• 38:49
  in
• 38:49
  the
• 38:49
  first
• 38:49
  round
• 38:50
  as
• 38:50
  well.
• 38:51
  Now
• 38:51
  the
• 38:51
  Dodgers
• 38:52
  may
• 38:52
  want
• 38:52
  to
• 38:52
  try
• 38:52
  to
• 38:53
  keep
• 38:53
  Arizona
• 38:53
  out,
• 38:54
  right?
• 38:54
  So
• 38:54
  perhaps
• 38:55
  they
• 38:55
  will
• 38:55
  play
• 38:56
  hard
• 38:56
  these
• 38:57
  next
• 38:57
  three
• 38:57
  days.
• 38:57
  But
• 38:58
  then
• 38:58
  they're
• 38:58
  playing
• 38:58
  San
• 38:59
  Diego,
• 38:59
  who
• 39:00
  again,
• 39:01
  they
• 39:01
  are
• 39:01
  going
• 39:01
  to
• 39:01
  be
• 39:02
  lining
• 39:02
  up
• 39:02
  their
• 39:02
  pitching
• 39:03
  for
• 39:03
  their
• 39:03
  first
• 39:04
  round.
• 39:04
  So
• 39:04
  Arizona
• 39:05
  does
• 39:05
  have
• 39:06
  an
• 39:06
  advantage
• 39:07
  going
• 39:07
  into
• 39:07
  these
• 39:07
  final
• 39:08
  six.
• 39:08
  And
• 39:08
  then
• 39:09
  Cincinnati
• 39:09
  is
• 39:10
  playing
• 39:10
  Pittsburgh
• 39:11
  and
• 39:11
  Milwaukee.
• 39:12
  Now
• 39:12
  again,
• 39:13
  Milwaukee's
• 39:14
  got
• 39:14
  nothing.
• 39:14
  Milwaukee,
• 39:15
  they
• 39:15
  don't.
• 39:16
  But
• 39:16
  they
• 39:16
  are
• 39:16
  going
• 39:16
  to,
• 39:17
  you
• 39:17
  know,
• 39:17
  they
• 39:17
  are
• 39:17
  going,
• 39:17
  they're
• 39:18
  going
• 39:18
  to
• 39:18
  have
• 39:18
  their
• 39:18
  starters
• 39:19
  go
• 39:19
  because
• 39:19
  they're
• 39:20
  going
• 39:20
  to
• 39:20
  have
• 39:20
  that
• 39:20
  week
• 39:20
  off.
• 39:21
  So
• 39:21
  they
• 39:22
  probably
• 39:22
  will
• 39:22
  have
• 39:23
  their
• 39:23
  starters
• 39:24
  go
• 39:24
  in
• 39:24
  that
• 39:24
  last
• 39:24
  series.
• 39:25
  Now
• 39:25
  they
• 39:26
  did
• 39:26
  put
• 39:26
  Brandon
• 39:27
  Woodruff
• 39:27
  on
• 39:27
  the,
• 39:28
  on
• 39:28
  the
• 39:29
  injured
• 39:29
  list
• 39:29
  today,
• 39:31
  so
• 39:31
  he
• 39:32
  won't
• 39:32
  pitch
• 39:32
  in
• 39:33
  that
• 39:33
  series
• 39:33
  where
• 39:33
  he
• 39:34
  probably
• 39:34
  would
• 39:35
  have.
• 39:36
  But
• 39:36
  you're
• 39:36
  right,
• 39:36
  Chris.
• 39:36
  I
• 39:37
  don't,
• 39:37
  I
• 39:37
  don't
• 39:37
  see.
• 39:38
  It's
• 39:39
  hard
• 39:39
  to
• 39:39
  believe
• 39:39
  at
• 39:39
  this
• 39:40
  point
• 39:40
  how
• 39:41
  the
• 39:41
  Mets
• 39:41
  could
• 39:41
  go
• 39:41
  in
• 39:42
  and
• 39:42
  win
• 39:43
  five
• 39:43
  out
• 39:43
  of
• 39:43
  six,
• 39:43
  especially
• 39:44
  with
• 39:44
  the,
• 39:44
  they're
• 39:45
  throwing
• 39:45
  Peterson
• 39:46
  on
• 39:47
  Tuesday
• 39:47
  in
• 39:47
  Chicago
• 39:48
  and
• 39:48
  Peterson's
• 39:49
  been
• 39:49
  horrible
• 39:49
  the
• 39:49
  second
• 39:50
  half.
• 39:50
  He
• 39:51
  has
• 39:51
  not
• 39:51
  been
• 39:51
  able
• 39:51
  to
• 39:52
  give
• 39:52
  you
• 39:52
  any
• 39:52
  length.
• 39:53
  There's
• 39:54
  another
• 39:54
  situation
• 39:54
  where
• 39:55
  I
• 39:55
  probably
• 39:55
  would
• 39:55
  have
• 39:56
  tried
• 39:56
  to
• 39:56
  piggyback
• 39:57
  Peterson
• 39:58
  because
• 39:58
  I
• 39:58
  think
• 39:58
  Peterson
• 39:59
  at
• 39:59
  this
• 40:00
  stage
• 40:01
  of
• 40:01
  the
• 40:01
  season,
• 40:02
  you
• 40:02
  know,
• 40:02
  again,
• 40:03
  he's
• 40:03
  still
• 40:03
  a
• 40:03
  young
• 40:04
  pitcher
• 40:04
  not
• 40:05
  used
• 40:05
  to
• 40:05
  going
• 40:06
  150,
• 40:07
  175
• 40:08
  innings
• 40:09
  a
• 40:09
  season.
• 40:10
  You
• 40:10
  know,
• 40:11
  last
• 40:11
  year
• 40:11
  in
• 40:12
  October,
• 40:12
  he
• 40:12
  did
• 40:13
  great
• 40:13
  coming
• 40:13
  out
• 40:13
  of
• 40:14
  a
• 40:14
  bullpen
• 40:15
  a
• 40:15
  couple
• 40:15
  of
• 40:15
  times
• 40:15
  he
• 40:16
  showed
• 40:16
  the
• 40:16
  ability
• 40:16
  to
• 40:17
  do
• 40:17
  that.
• 40:18
  I
• 40:18
  would
• 40:18
  have
• 40:18
  thought
• 40:18
  about
• 40:19
  doing
• 40:19
  the
• 40:19
  same
• 40:19
  thing
• 40:20
  with
• 40:20
  him
• 40:21
  and.
• 40:22
  And
• 40:23
  looking
• 40:23
  who
• 40:23
  else
• 40:23
  you
• 40:24
  could
• 40:24
  have
• 40:24
  maybe
• 40:24
  paired
• 40:24
  him
• 40:25
  up
• 40:25
  with
• 40:25
  for
• 40:25
  Tuesday.
• 40:26
  And
• 40:26
  I
• 40:26
  would
• 40:26
  have
• 40:26
  had
• 40:26
  him
• 40:27
  come
• 40:27
  in
• 40:28
  the
• 40:28
  third
• 40:28
  or
• 40:28
  the
• 40:28
  fourth
• 40:29
  inning.
• 40:29
  But
• 40:29
  you're
• 40:30
  right,
• 40:30
  Mendoza,
• 40:31
  I
• 40:31
  think,
• 40:31
  has
• 40:32
  had
• 40:32
  a
• 40:32
  horrible
• 40:32
  season.
• 40:34
  I
• 40:35
  think
• 40:35
  he's
• 40:35
  had
• 40:35
  a
• 40:35
  really
• 40:36
  rough
• 40:36
  time.
• 40:37
  And
• 40:37
  you're
• 40:37
  right,
• 40:37
  he
• 40:37
  does
• 40:38
  say
• 40:38
  the
• 40:38
  same
• 40:38
  things
• 40:39
  after
• 40:39
  every
• 40:40
  press
• 40:40
  conference,
• 40:41
  which
• 40:41
  is
• 40:41
  also
• 40:41
  the
• 40:42
  same
• 40:42
  thing
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  New
• 40:42
  York
• 40:42
  media
• 40:43
  got
• 40:44
  on
• 40:44
  Boone
• 40:44
  for
• 40:45
  all
• 40:45
  season.
• 40:45
  There's,
• 40:46
  you
• 40:46
  know,
• 40:47
  when
• 40:47
  these
• 40:47
  guys
• 40:47
  talk
• 40:47
  twice
• 40:48
  a
• 40:48
  day,
• 40:49
  there's
• 40:49
  not
• 40:49
  much
• 40:49
  else
• 40:50
  they
• 40:50
  can
• 40:50
  say,
• 40:51
  you
• 40:51
  know,
• 40:51
  And
• 40:51
  Mendoza
• 40:52
  is
• 40:52
  clearly
• 40:52
  not
• 40:52
  a
• 40:53
  guy
• 40:53
  that's
• 40:53
  flipping
• 40:53
  tables
• 40:54
  over
• 40:54
  or,
• 40:55
  you
• 40:55
  know,
• 40:56
  holding
• 40:56
  people
• 40:56
  accountable.
• 40:57
  I
• 40:57
  shouldn't
• 40:57
  say
• 40:57
  he's
• 40:57
  not
• 40:57
  holding
• 40:57
  accountable.
• 40:58
  I
• 40:58
  can't
• 40:59
  speak
• 40:59
  to
• 40:59
  that,
• 40:59
  John.
• 40:59
  He's
• 41:00
  not
• 41:00
  holding
• 41:00
  people
• 41:00
  accountable
• 41:01
  because
• 41:01
  if
• 41:01
  he
• 41:01
  was
• 41:01
  holding
• 41:02
  people
• 41:02
  accountable,
• 41:03
  Jose
• 41:03
  Siri
• 41:04
  would
• 41:04
  have
• 41:04
  been
• 41:04
  pulled
• 41:04
  from
• 41:04
  the
• 41:04
  game
• 41:05
  the
• 41:05
  other
• 41:05
  night.
• 41:05
  What
• 41:06
  he
• 41:06
  did
• 41:06
  was
• 41:06
  an
• 41:06
  absolute
• 41:07
  abomination
• 41:08
  to
• 41:08
  the
• 41:08
  game.
• 41:09
  Dropping
• 41:09
  a
• 41:09
  fly
• 41:10
  ball,
• 41:10
  letting
• 41:10
  the
• 41:10
  ball
• 41:10
  go
• 41:11
  by
• 41:11
  him.
• 41:12
  That
• 41:12
  is
• 41:13
  stuff
• 41:13
  where
• 41:13
  you
• 41:13
  should
• 41:13
  be
• 41:13
  taken
• 41:14
  out
• 41:14
  of
• 41:14
  the
• 41:14
  game
• 41:14
  for
• 41:15
  now.
• 41:15
  I
• 41:15
  believe
• 41:16
  that
• 41:16
  the
• 41:16
  shortstop
• 41:17
  from
• 41:17
  Washington
• 41:18
  was
• 41:18
  taken
• 41:18
  out
• 41:18
  of
• 41:18
  the
• 41:18
  game
• 41:19
  because
• 41:19
  he
• 41:19
  tried
• 41:19
  going
• 41:19
  a
• 41:20
  third
• 41:20
  on
• 41:20
  a
• 41:20
  ground
• 41:20
  ball.
• 41:21
  I
• 41:21
  don't
• 41:21
  know
• 41:21
  if
• 41:21
  he
• 41:21
  got
• 41:21
  hurt,
• 41:22
  but
• 41:22
  that's
• 41:23
  something
• 41:23
  where
• 41:23
  the
• 41:23
  manager
• 41:24
  needs
• 41:24
  to
• 41:24
  step
• 41:24
  up
• 41:24
  and
• 41:24
  make
• 41:25
  a
• 41:25
  statement.
• 41:27
  Yeah.
• 41:28
  Again,
• 41:28
  I
• 41:29
  think.
• 41:29
  I
• 41:30
  don't
• 41:30
  disagree
• 41:31
  with
• 41:31
  you.
• 41:31
  I
• 41:31
  think
• 41:31
  it's
• 41:31
  probably
• 41:32
  a
• 41:32
  little
• 41:32
  bit
• 41:32
  different
• 41:32
  doing
• 41:33
  it,
• 41:33
  you
• 41:33
  know,
• 41:33
  with
• 41:33
  a
• 41:34
  team
• 41:34
  that's
• 41:34
  won
• 41:34
  63
• 41:35
  games
• 41:35
  versus
• 41:35
  a
• 41:36
  team
• 41:36
  that
• 41:37
  he's
• 41:37
  trying
• 41:37
  to
• 41:38
  maintain
• 41:39
  things.
• 41:39
  Plus,
• 41:39
  the
• 41:40
  reality
• 41:40
  is.
• 41:40
  Chris.
• 41:40
  Who's
• 41:41
  he
• 41:41
  putting
• 41:41
  in
• 41:41
  there?
• 41:41
  Cedric
• 41:42
  Mullen?
• 41:42
  No.
• 41:42
  No.
• 41:43
  Do
• 41:43
  you
• 41:43
  want
• 41:44
  to
• 41:44
  see
• 41:44
  him?
• 41:44
  No.
• 41:44
  Jeff
• 41:45
  McNeil
• 41:45
  goes
• 41:45
  to
• 41:45
  center
• 41:46
  field
• 41:46
  until
• 41:46
  late
• 41:46
  in
• 41:46
  the
• 41:47
  game,
• 41:47
  and
• 41:47
  then
• 41:47
  maybe
• 41:47
  you
• 41:47
  put
• 41:48
  one
• 41:48
  of
• 41:48
  those
• 41:48
  guys
• 41:48
  in.
• 41:49
  Yeah,
• 41:49
  it's
• 41:50
  terrible.
• 41:50
  And,
• 41:50
  you
• 41:50
  know,
• 41:50
  the
• 41:51
  fact
• 41:51
  that
• 41:51
  Tyrone
• 41:51
  Taylor
• 41:52
  is
• 41:52
  down
• 41:52
  at
• 41:52
  AAA
• 41:53
  today
• 41:53
  and
• 41:53
  nobody
• 41:54
  knows
• 41:54
  where.
• 41:54
  I
• 41:54
  don't
• 41:54
  know
• 41:54
  where
• 41:55
  he's
• 41:55
  going
• 41:55
  next.
• 41:55
  Are
• 41:55
  you
• 41:56
  kidding
• 41:56
  me?
• 41:56
  The
• 41:57
  guy's
• 41:57
  going
• 41:57
  to
• 41:57
  center
• 41:58
  field.
• 41:58
  You're
• 41:58
  dfa'
• 41:59
  ing
• 41:59

• 41:59
  guy
• 41:59
  by
• 41:59
  the
• 42:00
  name
• 42:00
  of
• 42:00
  Mullins
• 42:00
  who
• 42:01
  stinks.
• 42:01
  He's
• 42:02
  gotta
• 42:02
  go.
• 42:03
  And
• 42:03
  by
• 42:03
  the
• 42:03
  way,
• 42:03
  Jon
• 42:04
  and
• 42:04
  I
• 42:04
  know
• 42:04
  Mike
• 42:05
  wants
• 42:05
  to
• 42:05
  get
• 42:05
  in
• 42:05
  on
• 42:05
  this,
• 42:05
  too.
• 42:06
  David
• 42:06
  Stearns
• 42:07
  did
• 42:07
  a
• 42:07
  terrible
• 42:08
  job
• 42:08
  putting
• 42:08
  this
• 42:09
  team
• 42:09
  together.
• 42:09
  He
• 42:10
  did
• 42:10
  an
• 42:10
  awful
• 42:10
  job
• 42:11
  at
• 42:11
  the
• 42:11
  trade
• 42:11
  deadline.
• 42:12
  And
• 42:12
  these
• 42:12
  guys
• 42:13
  are
• 42:13
  suffering
• 42:13
  and
• 42:14
  nobody
• 42:14
  is
• 42:14
  there
• 42:14
  to
• 42:14
  pick
• 42:15
  them
• 42:15
  up
• 42:15
  and.
• 42:15
  And
• 42:15
  he
• 42:15
  needs
• 42:16
  to
• 42:16
  take
• 42:16
  some
• 42:16
  of
• 42:16
  the
• 42:16
  blame,
• 42:17
  too.
• 42:18
  Well,
• 42:18
  I
• 42:18
  will.
• 42:19
  I
• 42:19
  will
• 42:19
  say
• 42:20
  this
• 42:20
  about
• 42:20
  his
• 42:20
  trade
• 42:21
  deadline.
• 42:21
  None
• 42:21
  of
• 42:22
  it's
• 42:22
  worked.
• 42:22
  Rogers
• 42:23
  has
• 42:23
  Been
• 42:23
  okay.
• 42:24
  But
• 42:24
  to
• 42:24
  be
• 42:25
  fair,
• 42:26
  to
• 42:26
  be
• 42:26
  fair,
• 42:27
  everyone
• 42:28
  after
• 42:28
  the
• 42:29
  trade
• 42:29
  line
• 42:29
  said
• 42:30
  he,
• 42:30
  he
• 42:30
  had
• 42:30
  a
• 42:30
  great
• 42:31
  trade
• 42:31
  deadline
• 42:32
  for
• 42:32
  the
• 42:32
  bullpen.
• 42:34
  Pictures
• 42:34
  do
• 42:34
  need
• 42:35
  to
• 42:35
  be
• 42:35
  accountable.
• 42:36
  Yes.
• 42:37
  But
• 42:37
  he
• 42:37
  did
• 42:37
  nothing
• 42:38
  for
• 42:38
  a
• 42:38
  bat.
• 42:38
  He
• 42:38
  went
• 42:38
  out
• 42:39
  and
• 42:39
  got
• 42:39
  a
• 42:39
  guy
• 42:39
  that
• 42:39
  was
• 42:39
  batting.210
• 42:40
  to
• 42:40
  play
• 42:41
  center
• 42:41
  field.
• 42:42
  When
• 42:42
  we
• 42:42
  didn't
• 42:42
  really
• 42:42
  need
• 42:43
  that,
• 42:43
  you
• 42:43
  know,
• 42:44
  we
• 42:44
  needed
• 42:44
  a
• 42:44
  bat.
• 42:45
  We
• 42:45
  didn't,
• 42:45
  you
• 42:45
  know,
• 42:45
  we
• 42:45
  had
• 42:46
  a
• 42:46
  defensive
• 42:46
  replacement.
• 42:47
  We
• 42:47
  had
• 42:47
  Tyrone
• 42:48
  Taylor.
• 42:48
  So
• 42:48
  I
• 42:49
  am
• 42:49
  just
• 42:49
  absolutely
• 42:50
  furious
• 42:50
  at
• 42:51
  what
• 42:51
  this
• 42:51
  team
• 42:52
  has
• 42:52
  put
• 42:52
  forward.
• 42:53
  And
• 42:53
  a
• 42:53
  lot
• 42:53
  of
• 42:53
  it
• 42:54
  has
• 42:54
  to
• 42:54
  go
• 42:54
  to
• 42:54
  the
• 42:54
  players.
• 42:55
  A
• 42:55
  lot
• 42:55
  of
• 42:55
  it
• 42:55
  does.
• 42:56
  But
• 42:56
  also
• 42:56
  the
• 42:56
  manager
• 42:57
  and
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  general
• 42:57
  manager
• 42:58
  have
• 42:58
  done
• 42:58
  a
• 42:59
  terrible
• 42:59
  job
• 43:00
  for
• 43:00
  July,
• 43:01
  August
• 43:02
  and
• 43:02
  September.
• 43:03
  And
• 43:03
  some
• 43:04
  of
• 43:04
  it
• 43:04
  was
• 43:04
  in
• 43:04
  the
• 43:04
  offseason
• 43:05
  because
• 43:05
  they
• 43:05
  really
• 43:05
  did
• 43:05
  not
• 43:06
  address
• 43:06
  the
• 43:06
  pitching
• 43:06
  issue.
• 43:07
  Sean
• 43:07
  Miniah
• 43:08
  was
• 43:08
  not
• 43:08
  the
• 43:08
  answer
• 43:08
  at
• 43:09
  three
• 43:09
  years
• 43:09
  and
• 43:09
  $75
• 43:10
  million.
• 43:11
  No.
• 43:12
  I
• 43:12
  think.
• 43:12
  I
• 43:12
  think,
• 43:13
  again,
• 43:13
  not
• 43:13
  that
• 43:14
  we
• 43:14
  want
• 43:14
  to
• 43:14
  talk
• 43:14
  about
• 43:14
  the
• 43:15
  offseason
• 43:16
  on
• 43:16
  September
• 43:17
  23rd,
• 43:18
  but
• 43:18
  I'm
• 43:19
  sorry,
• 43:19
  21st,
• 43:20
  but
• 43:21
  I
• 43:21
  think
• 43:22
  Stearns
• 43:22
  is
• 43:22
  going
• 43:22
  to
• 43:22
  have
• 43:22
  to
• 43:22
  relook
• 43:23
  at,
• 43:23
  you
• 43:23
  know,
• 43:24
  what
• 43:24
  he
• 43:24
  considers
• 43:25
  a
• 43:26
  viable
• 43:26
  starting
• 43:27
  pitcher,
• 43:27
  because
• 43:27
  there's
• 43:27
  no
• 43:27
  doubt
• 43:28
  about
• 43:28
  it.
• 43:28
  When
• 43:28
  you
• 43:28
  look
• 43:28
  back
• 43:29
  on
• 43:29
  the
• 43:29
  2025
• 43:30
  season,
• 43:31
  Stearns,
• 43:31
  outside
• 43:32
  of
• 43:32
  Soto,
• 43:32
  which
• 43:33
  again,
• 43:33
  is
• 43:33
  really
• 43:33
  an
• 43:34
  ownership
• 43:34
  deal,
• 43:34
  not
• 43:35
  a.
• 43:35
  Not
• 43:35
  a
• 43:35
  him
• 43:36
  deal,
• 43:37
  he
• 43:37
  had
• 43:37
  a
• 43:38
  horrible
• 43:38
  off
• 43:38
  season.
• 43:39
  Jose
• 43:39
  Siri
• 43:40
  was
• 43:40
  injured
• 43:41
  and
• 43:41
  did
• 43:42
  not
• 43:42
  play
• 43:42
  well
• 43:43
  at
• 43:43
  all.
• 43:43
  The
• 43:43
  trade
• 43:44
  deadline,
• 43:44
  we
• 43:44
  went
• 43:45
  through
• 43:45
  it.
• 43:45
  Rodgers,
• 43:46
  Helsley,
• 43:47
  Soto,
• 43:49
  Greg
• 43:50
  Gregory,
• 43:50
  Soto
• 43:51
  and
• 43:51
  Mullins
• 43:52
  have
• 43:53
  been,
• 43:53
  you
• 43:53
  know,
• 43:54
  you
• 43:54
  know,
• 43:54
  disappointments.
• 43:55
  I
• 43:55
  mean,
• 43:55
  Soto
• 43:56
  is
• 43:56
  what
• 43:56
  he
• 43:56
  is,
• 43:56
  right.
• 43:56
  He
• 43:56
  has
• 43:57
  a
• 43:57
  couple
• 43:58
  good
• 43:58
  outings.
• 43:59
  Couple,
• 43:59
  you
• 43:59
  know,
• 43:59
  a
• 44:00
  couple
• 44:00
  not
• 44:00
  so
• 44:00
  good.
• 44:01
  You
• 44:01
  know,
• 44:01
  he
• 44:01
  was
• 44:01
  good
• 44:01
  today.
• 44:02
  Don't
• 44:02
  bring
• 44:02
  him
• 44:02
  in
• 44:03
  with
• 44:03
  guys
• 44:03
  on
• 44:03
  baseball.
• 44:05
  Yeah.
• 44:05
  So
• 44:07
  Stearns
• 44:07
  has
• 44:07
  had.
• 44:07
  And
• 44:08
  obviously,
• 44:08
  you
• 44:08
  know,
• 44:08
  we
• 44:09
  don't
• 44:09
  have
• 44:09
  to
• 44:09
  go
• 44:09
  through
• 44:09
  the
• 44:10
  woes
• 44:10
  and
• 44:10
  the
• 44:10
  tails
• 44:11
  of
• 44:11
  Frankie
• 44:12
  Montas,
• 44:12
  but
• 44:13
  we're
• 44:13
  going
• 44:13
  to.
• 44:13
  Stearns
• 44:14
  is
• 44:14
  going
• 44:14
  to
• 44:14
  have
• 44:14
  to
• 44:15
  really
• 44:15
  reevaluate
• 44:17
  how
• 44:17
  he
• 44:17
  looks
• 44:18
  at
• 44:19
  starting
• 44:19
  pitching
• 44:20
  for
• 44:21
  20,
• 44:21
  26
• 44:22
  and
• 44:22
  beyond.
• 44:22
  Yeah.
• 44:23
  Because,
• 44:23
  John,
• 44:23
  even
• 44:24
  if
• 44:24
  they
• 44:24
  do
• 44:25
  find
• 44:25
  a
• 44:25
  way
• 44:25
  to
• 44:26
  pull
• 44:26
  this
• 44:26
  out,
• 44:26
  make
• 44:26
  the
• 44:26
  postseason,
• 44:27
  we
• 44:27
  don't.
• 44:27
  They're
• 44:28
  not
• 44:28
  going
• 44:28
  anyplace.
• 44:31
  It's
• 44:31
  not
• 44:31
  even
• 44:31
  a
• 44:32
  Band
• 44:32
  Aid.
• 44:32
  I
• 44:33
  mean,
• 44:33
  they
• 44:33
  have
• 44:33
  to
• 44:34
  absolutely
• 44:35
  reevaluate
• 44:36
  how
• 44:36
  they
• 44:36
  do
• 44:36
  things.
• 44:38
  Again,
• 44:38
  we
• 44:38
  could
• 44:39
  say
• 44:39
  this
• 44:39
  number.
• 44:39
  Till
• 44:39
  the
• 44:40
  Cows
• 44:40
  come
• 44:40
  home,
• 44:41
  0
• 44:41
  and
• 44:41
  67.
• 44:42
  When
• 44:42
  they're
• 44:42
  trailing
• 44:43
  after
• 44:43
  eight
• 44:43
  innings.
• 44:43
  Six,
• 44:44
  seven.
• 44:45
  Gosh.
• 44:45
  If
• 44:45
  you're
• 44:46
  in
• 44:46
  school,
• 44:46
  that's
• 44:46
  all
• 44:46
  you
• 44:46
  hear.
• 44:46
  Now,
• 44:47
  if
• 44:47
  you're
• 44:47
  a
• 44:47
  middle
• 44:47
  school
• 44:47
  teacher
• 44:48
  like
• 44:48
  we
• 44:48
  are.
• 44:49
  But
• 44:49
  yeah,
• 44:49
  I
• 44:50
  mean,
• 44:50
  obviously
• 44:52
  there's
• 44:53
  some
• 44:53
  type
• 44:53
  of
• 44:53
  intangible
• 44:54
  I
• 44:55
  mean,
• 44:55
  we've
• 44:55
  talked
• 44:55
  about
• 44:55
  all
• 44:55
  the,
• 44:56
  you
• 44:56
  know,
• 44:56
  the
• 44:56
  pitching
• 44:57
  stinks,
• 44:57
  the
• 44:58
  hitting's
• 44:58
  good,
• 44:58
  vice
• 44:59
  versa,
• 44:59
  all
• 44:59
  these
• 44:59
  moves.
• 45:00
  But
• 45:00
  what's
• 45:00
  the
• 45:01
  intangible?
• 45:01
  Last
• 45:02
  year
• 45:02
  this
• 45:02
  was
• 45:03
  a
• 45:03
  fun
• 45:03
  team,
• 45:04
  had
• 45:05
  spunk,
• 45:06
  you
• 45:06
  know,
• 45:06
  grimace,
• 45:07
  all
• 45:07
  that
• 45:07
  stuff.
• 45:08
  It
• 45:08
  was
• 45:08
  a
• 45:08
  little
• 45:09
  bit,
• 45:09
  almost
• 45:09
  too
• 45:09
  much
• 45:09
  at
• 45:10
  times,
• 45:10
  but
• 45:10
  they
• 45:11
  just
• 45:11
  seem
• 45:12
  so
• 45:12
  flat
• 45:13
  now
• 45:14
  with
• 45:14
  it,
• 45:14
  with
• 45:14
  a
• 45:14
  guy
• 45:15
  who
• 45:15
  is,
• 45:15
  you
• 45:16
  know,
• 45:16
  Soto.
• 45:17
  I
• 45:17
  mean,
• 45:18
  could
• 45:18
  it
• 45:18
  be
• 45:18
  that
• 45:19
  it's
• 45:20
  just
• 45:20
  as
• 45:20
  simple
• 45:20
  that
• 45:21
  he
• 45:21
  has
• 45:22
  some
• 45:22
  kind
• 45:22
  of
• 45:23
  thing
• 45:23
  where
• 45:23
  he's
• 45:23
  rubbed
• 45:24
  his
• 45:24
  team
• 45:25
  a
• 45:25
  little
• 45:25
  soft
• 45:25
  and
• 45:26
  they're
• 45:26
  just
• 45:26
  not
• 45:27
  behind
• 45:27
  it?
• 45:27
  Or
• 45:28
  what
• 45:28
  is
• 45:28
  it
• 45:28
  about,
• 45:29
  in
• 45:29
  your
• 45:29
  opinion,
• 45:30
  about
• 45:30
  this
• 45:30
  year's
• 45:31
  team
• 45:31
  that
• 45:31
  is
• 45:32
  just
• 45:32
  so
• 45:32
  flat
• 45:32
  compared
• 45:33
  to
• 45:33
  last
• 45:33
  year?
• 45:34
  I
• 45:35
  think
• 45:35
  a
• 45:35
  lot
• 45:35
  of
• 45:35
  that
• 45:35
  probably
• 45:36
  has
• 45:36
  to
• 45:36
  do
• 45:36
  with
• 45:37
  just
• 45:37
  the
• 45:37
  lack
• 45:38
  of
• 45:38
  the
• 45:38
  late
• 45:39
  inning
• 45:39
  comebacks.
• 45:40
  I
• 45:40
  think
• 45:40
  a
• 45:40
  lot
• 45:40
  of
• 45:41
  that,
• 45:41
  you
• 45:41
  know,
• 45:41
  when
• 45:42
  you
• 45:42
  have
• 45:42
  a
• 45:42
  lot
• 45:42
  of
• 45:42
  exciting
• 45:43
  wins
• 45:43
  and
• 45:43
  victories
• 45:44
  like
• 45:44
  the
• 45:44
  team
• 45:44
  did
• 45:45
  last
• 45:45
  year.
• 45:45
  Right.
• 45:46
  All
• 45:46
  of
• 45:46
  a
• 45:46
  sudden
• 45:47
  chemistry
• 45:48
  becomes
• 45:49
  this
• 45:49
  great
• 45:50
  thing
• 45:50
  that,
• 45:51
  you
• 45:51
  know,
• 45:52
  seems
• 45:52
  to
• 45:52
  take
• 45:53
  off.
• 45:53
  You
• 45:53
  know,
• 45:53
  no
• 45:53
  one
• 45:54
  was
• 45:54
  questioning
• 45:54
  the
• 45:54
  chemistry
• 45:55
  of
• 45:56
  this
• 45:56
  team,
• 45:56
  you
• 45:56
  know,
• 45:56
  in
• 45:57
  early
• 45:57
  June
• 45:57
  when
• 45:57
  they
• 45:57
  were
• 45:58
  20
• 45:58
  games
• 45:58
  over.500
• 46:00
  and
• 46:00
  had
• 46:01
  a
• 46:01
  seven
• 46:01
  plus
• 46:02
  game
• 46:02
  lead
• 46:02
  over
• 46:03
  the
• 46:03
  Phillies.
• 46:04
  No
• 46:04
  one
• 46:04
  was
• 46:04
  questioning
• 46:05
  the
• 46:05
  chemistry
• 46:05
  of
• 46:05
  the
• 46:06
  team
• 46:06
  when
• 46:06
  they
• 46:06
  swept
• 46:06
  the
• 46:07
  Phillies
• 46:08
  in
• 46:08
  early,
• 46:09
  earlier,
• 46:10
  I'm
• 46:10
  sorry,
• 46:10
  late
• 46:11
  August,
• 46:11
  as
• 46:11
  they
• 46:11
  were
• 46:12
  trying
• 46:12
  to
• 46:12
  mount
• 46:12
  a
• 46:12
  comeback.
• 46:13
  So
• 46:13
  I
• 46:13
  think
• 46:13
  a
• 46:13
  lot
• 46:14
  of
• 46:14
  that
• 46:14
  is,
• 46:15
  is
• 46:15
  probably,
• 46:15
  you
• 46:16
  know,
• 46:16
  just
• 46:18
  kind
• 46:19
  of
• 46:19
  media
• 46:20
  type
• 46:20
  speculation
• 46:21
  to
• 46:21
  try
• 46:21
  to
• 46:22
  drive
• 46:23
  a
• 46:23
  wedge
• 46:23
  in
• 46:24
  or
• 46:24
  to
• 46:24
  explain
• 46:24
  something
• 46:25
  that's
• 46:26
  unexplainable.
• 46:27
  Do
• 46:28
  they
• 46:28
  have
• 46:28
  a
• 46:29
  rah
• 46:29
  rah
• 46:29
  or.
• 46:30
  You
• 46:30
  know,
• 46:31
  my
• 46:31
  friend
• 46:31
  Chris
• 46:32
  loves
• 46:32
  a
• 46:33
  clubhouse
• 46:33
  guy
• 46:34
  in
• 46:34
  there
• 46:35
  like
• 46:35
  the
• 46:35
  great
• 46:35
  Lenny
• 46:36
  Harris.
• 46:36
  They
• 46:36
  might
• 46:37
  not
• 46:37
  have
• 46:37
  that.
• 46:37
  Well,
• 46:38
  they
• 46:39
  had
• 46:39
  Jose
• 46:39
  Iglesias
• 46:40
  and
• 46:40
  they,
• 46:41
  I
• 46:41
  mean,
• 46:41
  I
• 46:41
  think
• 46:41
  he
• 46:42
  was
• 46:42
  kind
• 46:42
  of
• 46:42
  like
• 46:42
  that.
• 46:43
  They
• 46:43
  gave
• 46:44
  him
• 46:44
  a
• 46:44
  video
• 46:44
  tribute
• 46:45
  the
• 46:45
  other
• 46:45
  day.
• 46:45
  I
• 46:45
  think
• 46:45
  all
• 46:46
  those
• 46:46
  guys
• 46:46
  that
• 46:47
  could
• 46:47
  have
• 46:48
  provided
• 46:48
  that
• 46:48
  are
• 46:49
  on
• 46:49
  other
• 46:49
  teams
• 46:49
  now.
• 46:51
  Yeah,
• 46:51
  but
• 46:52
  I
• 46:52
  mean,
• 46:52
  Iglesia's
• 46:52
  doing
• 46:53
  nothing
• 46:53
  in
• 46:53
  San
• 46:53
  Diego.
• 46:54
  No,
• 46:54
  absolutely.
• 46:55
  Yeah.
• 46:55
  I
• 46:55
  mean,
• 46:56
  I
• 46:56
  don't
• 46:56
  mean
• 46:56
  to
• 46:56
  infer
• 46:57
  that
• 46:57
  he
• 46:57
  would
• 46:57
  have
• 46:58
  been
• 46:58
  the
• 46:58
  key,
• 46:58
  but
• 46:58
  I
• 46:59
  just
• 46:59
  think
• 46:59
  that,
• 47:00
  I
• 47:00
  think
• 47:00
  that
• 47:01
  they
• 47:01
  vastly
• 47:02
  underestimated
• 47:03
  how
• 47:03
  they
• 47:03
  needed
• 47:04
  someone
• 47:04
  in
• 47:04
  that
• 47:05
  role
• 47:05
  to
• 47:06
  kind
• 47:06
  of,
• 47:08
  you
• 47:08
  know,
• 47:08
  take,
• 47:09
  take
• 47:09
  over
• 47:09
  a
• 47:10
  little
• 47:10
  bit.
• 47:10
  I
• 47:10
  mean,
• 47:10
  how
• 47:10
  about
• 47:11
  when,
• 47:11
  when
• 47:12
  David
• 47:12
  Wright
• 47:12
  retired.
• 47:13
  I
• 47:13
  mean
• 47:13
  all
• 47:13
  the
• 47:13
  things
• 47:14
  where
• 47:14
  they're
• 47:14
  going
• 47:14
  to
• 47:14
  pass
• 47:15
  the
• 47:15
  captaincy
• 47:15
  to
• 47:16
  Lindor
• 47:16
  and
• 47:16
  I
• 47:17
  mean
• 47:17
  he's,
• 47:17
  I
• 47:18
  think
• 47:18
  he's
• 47:18
  a
• 47:18
  great
• 47:18
  guy
• 47:19
  and
• 47:20
  fantastic
• 47:20
  player,
• 47:20
  but
• 47:21
  he's
• 47:22
  not
• 47:22
  ready
• 47:22
  for
• 47:22
  that.
• 47:22
  The
• 47:22
  team,
• 47:23
  just
• 47:23
  for
• 47:24
  a
• 47:24
  team
• 47:24
  that's
• 47:25
  still
• 47:26
  fighting
• 47:26
  for
• 47:26
  a
• 47:26
  playoff
• 47:26
  spot,
• 47:27
  what's
• 47:27
  the
• 47:27
  identity
• 47:28
  Is
• 47:28
  there
• 47:29
  one?
• 47:29
  No.
• 47:31
  I
• 47:31
  think
• 47:32
  they
• 47:33
  have
• 47:33
  a
• 47:33
  lot
• 47:33
  of
• 47:33
  underachieving
• 47:35
  players.
• 47:35
  I
• 47:36
  believe
• 47:36
  this
• 47:36
  team
• 47:38
  relied
• 47:39
  way
• 47:39
  too
• 47:39
  much
• 47:40
  on
• 47:41
  Mark
• 47:41
  Vientos.
• 47:42
  You
• 47:42
  know,
• 47:42
  all
• 47:43
  this
• 47:43
  offseason
• 47:43
  where
• 47:44
  you
• 47:44
  could
• 47:44
  have
• 47:44
  went
• 47:44
  out
• 47:44
  and
• 47:45
  gotten
• 47:45
  guys
• 47:45
  like
• 47:46
  Garrett
• 47:46
  Crochet
• 47:47
  if
• 47:47
  you
• 47:47
  were
• 47:47
  to.
• 47:48
  To
• 47:48
  look
• 47:48
  and
• 47:48
  make
• 47:49
  a
• 47:49
  trade
• 47:49
  for
• 47:49
  a
• 47:49
  guy
• 47:49
  like
• 47:50
  Vientos.
• 47:50
  All
• 47:50
  I
• 47:51
  heard
• 47:51
  was,
• 47:51
  you
• 47:52
  can't
• 47:52
  trade
• 47:52
  Vientos.
• 47:53
  You
• 47:53
  can't
• 47:53
  trade
• 47:53
  Vientos.
• 47:54
  They.
• 47:54
  They
• 47:55
  relied
• 47:55
  on
• 47:55
  him.
• 47:56
  I
• 47:56
  mean,
• 47:56
  if
• 47:56
  you
• 47:56
  remember,
• 47:57
  Vientos
• 47:57
  was
• 47:58
  the
• 47:58
  guy
• 47:58
  that
• 47:58
  was
• 47:58
  going
• 47:58
  to
• 47:58
  replace
• 47:59
  Alonzo
• 47:59
  if
• 48:00
  Alonzo
• 48:00
  signed
• 48:01
  somewhere
• 48:01
  else.
• 48:02
  So
• 48:02
  I
• 48:02
  think
• 48:02
  they
• 48:02
  just
• 48:02
  over.
• 48:03
  I
• 48:03
  think
• 48:04
  they
• 48:04
  overvalued
• 48:05
  a
• 48:06
  couple
• 48:06
  of
• 48:06
  their,
• 48:07
  their
• 48:07
  younger
• 48:07
  players
• 48:09
  that
• 48:10
  just
• 48:10
  did
• 48:10
  not
• 48:10
  pan
• 48:11
  out.
• 48:11
  Because
• 48:11
  again,
• 48:12
  truthfully,
• 48:13
  outside
• 48:14
  of
• 48:14
  Lindor,
• 48:15
  who
• 48:16
  even
• 48:16
  hasn't
• 48:16
  had
• 48:17
  a
• 48:17
  great
• 48:17
  year,
• 48:17
  but
• 48:18
  outside
• 48:18
  of
• 48:18
  Lindor,
• 48:18
  Soto
• 48:19
  and
• 48:20
  Alonso,
• 48:20
  most
• 48:21
  of
• 48:21
  this
• 48:21
  team
• 48:21
  has
• 48:22
  underachieved.
• 48:23
  I
• 48:23
  mean,
• 48:23
  Nimmos
• 48:23
  had
• 48:24
  some
• 48:24
  nice
• 48:24
  moments.
• 48:24
  He's
• 48:25
  terrible
• 48:25
  defensively,
• 48:26
  but
• 48:26
  not,
• 48:26
  not
• 48:27
  consistent
• 48:27
  enough.
• 48:28
  Yeah,
• 48:28
  not
• 48:29
  consistent
• 48:29
  enough.
• 48:29
  I
• 48:30
  think
• 48:30
  he's
• 48:30
  just.
• 48:31
  But
• 48:31
  other
• 48:31
  than
• 48:31
  that.
• 48:33
  I'm
• 48:34
  sorry,
• 48:34
  say
• 48:34
  that
• 48:34
  again,
• 48:34
  Mike.
• 48:35
  Yeah,
• 48:35
  I
• 48:35
  think
• 48:35
  he,
• 48:35
  I
• 48:36
  mean,
• 48:36
  he's
• 48:36
  playing
• 48:37
  through
• 48:37
  stuff.
• 48:37
  Yeah,
• 48:37
  I
• 48:37
  think
• 48:37
  he's
• 48:38
  dinged
• 48:38
  up
• 48:38
  a
• 48:38
  lot,
• 48:38
  and,
• 48:39
  and
• 48:39
  his,
• 48:39
  his
• 48:39
  defense
• 48:40
  really
• 48:40
  improved
• 48:42
  previously,
• 48:42
  but
• 48:42
  yeah,
• 48:43
  he
• 48:43
  just,
• 48:43
  he
• 48:43
  just
• 48:43
  looks
• 48:44
  off.
• 48:45
  Yeah,
• 48:46
  there's,
• 48:46
  there's
• 48:46
  just.
• 48:47
  I,
• 48:47
  but
• 48:47
  I,
• 48:47
  I
• 48:48
  understand
• 48:48
  the
• 48:48
  point
• 48:49
  about
• 48:49
  not
• 48:49
  having
• 48:50
  that
• 48:50
  quote,
• 48:50
  unquote
• 48:51
  clubhouse
• 48:52
  guy,
• 48:52
  but,
• 48:52
  yeah,
• 48:52
  there's
• 48:53
  some.
• 48:53
  There
• 48:53
  seems
• 48:53
  to
• 48:54
  be.
• 48:54
  There
• 48:54
  seems
• 48:55
  to
• 48:55
  be
• 48:55
  something
• 48:55
  off
• 48:56
  with,
• 48:56
  with
• 48:56
  this
• 48:56
  group.
• 48:57
  I'm
• 48:57
  not
• 48:57
  sure
• 48:57
  what
• 48:57
  it
• 48:58
  is.
• 48:58
  And
• 48:58
  you
• 48:59
  know,
• 48:59
  Winker,
• 48:59
  you
• 49:00
  know,
• 49:00
  I
• 49:00
  think
• 49:00
  Winker
• 49:01
  is
• 49:01
  a
• 49:01
  guy
• 49:01
  that
• 49:01
  could
• 49:02
  have
• 49:02
  provided
• 49:02
  some
• 49:02
  of
• 49:03
  that,
• 49:03
  but
• 49:03
  he's
• 49:03
  been
• 49:03
  injured
• 49:04
  all
• 49:04
  season.
• 49:04
  Yeah.
• 49:05
  Five,
• 49:05
  one,
• 49:05
  six.
• 49:07
  Go
• 49:08
  ahead,
• 49:08
  John.
• 49:09
  No,
• 49:09
  he
• 49:10
  would
• 49:10
  have
• 49:10
  provided
• 49:11
  some
• 49:11
  of
• 49:11
  that.
• 49:11
  Yeah,
• 49:12
  the
• 49:12
  excitement.
• 49:14
  Yeah,
• 49:14
  some
• 49:14
  of
• 49:14
  that.
• 49:15
  Yeah.
• 49:16
  And
• 49:16
  things
• 49:16
  like
• 49:17
  that.
• 49:17
  That's
• 49:17
  a
• 49:17
  good
• 49:17
  point.
• 49:18
  Yeah,
• 49:18
  because
• 49:18
  he,
• 49:19
  he
• 49:19
  would
• 49:19
  have
• 49:20
  provided
• 49:20
  that.
• 49:20
  And
• 49:20
  he's,
• 49:21
  he's
• 49:21
  been
• 49:21
  hurt.
• 49:21
  And
• 49:21
  so
• 49:21
  it
• 49:22
  wasn't,
• 49:22
  it
• 49:22
  wasn't
• 49:23
  like
• 49:23
  they
• 49:23
  completely,
• 49:23
  you
• 49:24
  know,
• 49:24
  went.
• 49:24
  Went
• 49:24
  down
• 49:25
  with
• 49:25
  the
• 49:25
  ship.
• 49:26
  So
• 49:27
  as
• 49:27
  we
• 49:27
  kind
• 49:27
  of
• 49:27
  wrap
• 49:28
  it
• 49:28
  up
• 49:28
  here,
• 49:28
  my.
• 49:28
  One
• 49:29
  of
• 49:29
  my
• 49:29
  major
• 49:29
  questions
• 49:30
  to
• 49:30
  you
• 49:30
  is
• 49:32
  I
• 49:32
  know
• 49:32
  we
• 49:32
  don't
• 49:32
  want
• 49:32
  to
• 49:32
  look
• 49:33
  into
• 49:33
  the
• 49:33
  off
• 49:33
  season
• 49:33
  too
• 49:34
  much,
• 49:34
  but
• 49:34
  has
• 49:35
  Pete
• 49:35
  Alonso
• 49:36
  taken
• 49:36
  his
• 49:36
  last
• 49:36
  at
• 49:37
  bat
• 49:37
  at
• 49:37
  Citi
• 49:38
  Field
• 49:38
  as
• 49:38
  a
• 49:38
  New
• 49:38
  York
• 49:38
  Met?
• 49:41
  I
• 49:41
  don't
• 49:41
  believe
• 49:41
  so.
• 49:42
  Okay.
• 49:44
  I
• 49:44
  would
• 49:45
  be
• 49:45
  stunned
• 49:47
  if
• 49:47
  that,
• 49:47
  if
• 49:48
  that
• 49:48
  is
• 49:48
  what
• 49:48
  ends
• 49:49
  up
• 49:49
  happening.
• 49:49
  I
• 49:49
  think
• 49:50
  he,
• 49:50
  I
• 49:50
  think
• 49:50
  he
• 49:51
  wants
• 49:51
  to
• 49:51
  be
• 49:51
  here.
• 49:52
  I
• 49:52
  think
• 49:52
  he's
• 49:53
  proven
• 49:53
  this,
• 49:53
  this
• 49:54
  season,
• 49:55
  you
• 49:56
  know,
• 49:56
  how
• 49:56
  important
• 49:57
  he
• 49:57
  is
• 49:57
  to
• 49:58
  this
• 49:58
  team,
• 49:59
  to
• 49:59
  this
• 49:59
  Fan
• 50:00
  base
• 50:02
  and
• 50:02
  to
• 50:02
  Soto.
• 50:03
  I
• 50:03
  mean,
• 50:03
  he
• 50:03
  provides
• 50:03
  a
• 50:04
  lot
• 50:04
  of
• 50:04
  protection
• 50:05
  to
• 50:05
  Soto.
• 50:07
  Now,
• 50:07
  if
• 50:08
  someone
• 50:08
  goes
• 50:09
  out
• 50:09
  there
• 50:09
  and
• 50:09
  gives
• 50:09
  the
• 50:09
  guy
• 50:10
  $50
• 50:10
  million
• 50:11
  a
• 50:11
  year,
• 50:12
  do
• 50:13
  I
• 50:13
  think.
• 50:13
  Do
• 50:13
  I
• 50:13
  know
• 50:13
  if
• 50:13
  the
• 50:14
  Mets
• 50:14
  will
• 50:14
  do
• 50:14
  that?
• 50:14
  No,
• 50:14
  but
• 50:15
  I
• 50:15
  don't
• 50:15
  think
• 50:15
  that'll.
• 50:16
  I
• 50:16
  don't
• 50:17
  think
• 50:17
  that'll
• 50:17
  happen.
• 50:17
  I
• 50:17
  think.
• 50:18
  I
• 50:18
  think
• 50:18
  someone
• 50:19
  like
• 50:19
  Alonzo
• 50:20
  is,
• 50:21
  you
• 50:21
  know,
• 50:22
  most
• 50:22
  important
• 50:23
  to
• 50:23
  this,
• 50:24
  to
• 50:24
  this
• 50:24
  franchise
• 50:25
  and
• 50:25
  to
• 50:25
  this
• 50:25
  city.
• 50:25
  And
• 50:26
  I
• 50:26
  think
• 50:26
  that
• 50:26
  they
• 50:26
  will.
• 50:27
  I
• 50:27
  think
• 50:27
  they
• 50:27
  will
• 50:28
  come
• 50:28
  to
• 50:28
  some
• 50:28
  type
• 50:28
  of
• 50:29
  understanding.
• 50:30
  If
• 50:30
  it
• 50:30
  were
• 50:31
  me,
• 50:31
  if
• 50:31
  I
• 50:31
  were
• 50:32
  the
• 50:33
  Mets,
• 50:33
  I
• 50:33
  would
• 50:34
  try
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  go
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  him
• 50:35
  and
• 50:35
  extend
• 50:36
  this
• 50:37
  deal,
• 50:37
  ask
• 50:37
  him
• 50:38
  not
• 50:38
  to
• 50:38
  opt
• 50:38
  out,
• 50:39
  and
• 50:40
  then
• 50:40
  extend
• 50:40
  that
• 50:41
  deal,
• 50:41
  you
• 50:41
  know,
• 50:41
  another
• 50:42
  four,
• 50:42
  four
• 50:43
  years
• 50:43
  in
• 50:43
  the,
• 50:44
  you
• 50:44
  know,
• 50:45
  120,
• 50:46
  130
• 50:46
  range.
• 50:47
  And
• 50:47
  then
• 50:47
  you
• 50:47
  put
• 50:47
  it
• 50:48
  all
• 50:48
  together,
• 50:48
  he
• 50:49
  would
• 50:49
  have
• 50:49
  gotten
• 50:49
  his
• 50:49
  $200
• 50:50
  million
• 50:51
  contract
• 50:51
  over
• 50:51
  the
• 50:52
  six
• 50:52
  years.
• 50:52
  And
• 50:53
  I
• 50:53
  think
• 50:53
  everybody
• 50:54
  could
• 50:54
  save
• 50:54
  a.
• 50:54
  Little
• 50:54
  bit
• 50:54
  of
• 50:55
  fates.
• 50:55
  Yep.
• 50:56
  516-623-1240.
• 50:58
  If
• 50:58
  anybody
• 50:58
  wants
• 50:59
  to
• 50:59
  call
• 50:59
  in,
• 50:59
  we
• 50:59
  still
• 50:59
  have
• 51:00
  some
• 51:00
  time
• 51:00
  here.
• 51:01
  John,
• 51:01
  just
• 51:01
  give
• 51:01
  me
• 51:02
  some
• 51:02
  positives.
• 51:02
  What
• 51:02
  have
• 51:02
  you
• 51:03
  thought
• 51:03
  of
• 51:03
  these
• 51:03
  young
• 51:04
  pitchers?
• 51:04
  And
• 51:05
  you
• 51:06
  know
• 51:06
  what?
• 51:07
  They
• 51:07
  might
• 51:07
  even
• 51:08
  be
• 51:08
  able
• 51:08
  to
• 51:08
  help
• 51:08
  in
• 51:08
  these
• 51:09
  last
• 51:10
  six
• 51:10
  days
• 51:10
  of
• 51:10
  the
• 51:10
  season?
• 51:12
  Yeah,
• 51:12
  I
• 51:12
  think.
• 51:13
  I
• 51:13
  mean,
• 51:13
  again,
• 51:14
  hopefully,
• 51:15
  you
• 51:15
  know,
• 51:16
  between
• 51:16
  the
• 51:16
  three
• 51:16
  of
• 51:17
  them,
• 51:17
  they
• 51:17
  can
• 51:17
  give
• 51:17
  you
• 51:17
  some
• 51:17
  length
• 51:18
  over
• 51:19
  these
• 51:19
  last
• 51:19
  six
• 51:19
  days.
• 51:20
  I
• 51:20
  do
• 51:21
  think,
• 51:21
  though,
• 51:21
  if
• 51:21
  for
• 51:21
  some
• 51:22
  reason,
• 51:24
  you
• 51:24
  know,
• 51:24
  things
• 51:24
  go
• 51:24
  very
• 51:25
  poorly
• 51:25
  in
• 51:25
  Chicago,
• 51:26
  you
• 51:26
  might
• 51:26
  not
• 51:27
  see
• 51:27
  them
• 51:27
  in
• 51:28
  Miami
• 51:29
  because,
• 51:29
  you
• 51:29
  know,
• 51:30
  I
• 51:30
  think
• 51:30
  they
• 51:30
  are
• 51:30
  cognizant
• 51:31
  of
• 51:31
  the
• 51:31
  innings
• 51:31
  that
• 51:31
  they've
• 51:32
  thrown,
• 51:33
  but
• 51:33
  they've
• 51:34
  been
• 51:34
  very
• 51:34
  good.
• 51:34
  I
• 51:35
  mean,
• 51:35
  McClain
• 51:36
  and
• 51:36
  sprouts
• 51:37
  have
• 51:37
  been
• 51:37
  great.
• 51:37
  I
• 51:37
  think
• 51:38
  McLean's
• 51:38
  been
• 51:38
  the
• 51:38
  best
• 51:39
  of
• 51:39
  them.
• 51:39
  You
• 51:39
  know,
• 51:39
  obviously
• 51:40
  we've
• 51:40
  seen
• 51:40
  him
• 51:40
  the
• 51:40
  most,
• 51:41
  but
• 51:41
  McLean
• 51:42
  knows
• 51:42
  how
• 51:42
  to
• 51:42
  pitch.
• 51:42
  You
• 51:43
  know,
• 51:43
  he's
• 51:43
  even
• 51:43
  had
• 51:43
  a
• 51:43
  couple
• 51:44
  of
• 51:44
  sports
• 51:45
  where
• 51:45
  he
• 51:45
  hasn't
• 51:45
  had
• 51:46
  his
• 51:46
  best
• 51:46
  stuff,
• 51:47
  and
• 51:47
  he's
• 51:47
  really
• 51:47
  had
• 51:48
  a
• 51:48
  pitch
• 51:49
  and
• 51:49
  he
• 51:49
  is.
• 51:49
  He
• 51:50
  has
• 51:50
  shown
• 51:50
  that,
• 51:51
  you
• 51:51
  know,
• 51:51
  he
• 51:51
  is
• 51:52
  someone
• 51:52
  that
• 51:52
  you
• 51:52
  can
• 51:53
  100%
• 51:54
  pencil
• 51:54
  in
• 51:55
  for
• 51:55
  the
• 51:55
  2026
• 51:56
  rotation
• 51:57
  along
• 51:57
  with
• 51:57
  Sprout
• 51:58
  Tong.
• 51:59
  I'm
• 51:59
  not
• 51:59
  sure
• 51:59
  about.
• 52:00
  I
• 52:00
  mean,
• 52:00
  they
• 52:00
  might
• 52:00
  want
• 52:00
  to
• 52:00
  give
• 52:01
  him
• 52:01
  a
• 52:01
  little
• 52:01
  more
• 52:01
  seasoning.
• 52:02
  I
• 52:02
  think
• 52:02
  he
• 52:02
  is
• 52:02
  up
• 52:03
  here
• 52:03
  because
• 52:04
  of
• 52:04
  the
• 52:04
  lack
• 52:05
  of
• 52:05
  depth
• 52:05
  in
• 52:06
  the
• 52:06
  Met
• 52:06
  starting
• 52:07
  pitching.
• 52:07
  But
• 52:08
  I
• 52:08
  think,
• 52:08
  you
• 52:08
  know,
• 52:08
  when
• 52:08
  you
• 52:09
  look
• 52:09
  at
• 52:09
  next
• 52:09
  year,
• 52:10
  I
• 52:10
  think
• 52:11
  you're
• 52:11
  going
• 52:11
  to
• 52:11
  start
• 52:11
  your
• 52:12
  rotation
• 52:12
  out
• 52:12
  with,
• 52:14
  you
• 52:14
  know,
• 52:14
  knowing
• 52:15
  that
• 52:15
  you're
• 52:15
  going
• 52:15
  to
• 52:15
  have
• 52:15
  a
• 52:16
  list
• 52:16
  of
• 52:16
  trades.
• 52:17
  But,
• 52:17
  you
• 52:17
  know,
• 52:17
  you
• 52:18
  can
• 52:18
  feel
• 52:18
  pretty
• 52:18
  confident
• 52:19
  that
• 52:19
  you're
• 52:19
  going
• 52:19
  to
• 52:19
  have
• 52:20
  Sprout,
• 52:20
  McLean
• 52:21
  and
• 52:21
  Peterson
• 52:22
  in
• 52:22
  your
• 52:22
  rotation,
• 52:24
  you
• 52:24
  know,
• 52:24
  for
• 52:25
  2026.
• 52:27
  Well,
• 52:27
  as
• 52:28
  we
• 52:28
  look
• 52:28
  at
• 52:28
  it,
• 52:28
  the
• 52:28
  Mets
• 52:28
  have
• 52:29
  lost
• 52:29
  11
• 52:29
  out
• 52:29
  of
• 52:30
  15.
• 52:30
  Some
• 52:30
  people
• 52:30
  want
• 52:31
  to
• 52:31
  say
• 52:31
  the
• 52:31
  Mets
• 52:31
  have
• 52:31
  won
• 52:32
  four
• 52:33
  out
• 52:33
  of
• 52:33
  their
• 52:33
  last
• 52:33
  seven.
• 52:34
  You
• 52:34
  know,
• 52:34
  so
• 52:35
  you
• 52:35
  can.
• 52:35
  I
• 52:36
  mean,
• 52:36
  you
• 52:36
  can
• 52:36
  look
• 52:36
  at
• 52:36
  it
• 52:37
  two
• 52:37
  different
• 52:37
  ways.
• 52:37
  If
• 52:38
  they
• 52:38
  didn't
• 52:38
  win
• 52:38
  that
• 52:39
  afternoon
• 52:39
  game,
• 52:39
  that
• 52:39
  Thursday
• 52:40
  game
• 52:40
  with
• 52:40
  San
• 52:41
  Diego,
• 52:41
  it
• 52:41
  would
• 52:42
  have
• 52:42
  been
• 52:42
  a
• 52:43
  total
• 52:43
  downfall.
• 52:43
  But
• 52:44
  here,
• 52:44
  here
• 52:44
  we
• 52:44
  are
• 52:45
  two
• 52:45
  days
• 52:45
  later,
• 52:46
  and
• 52:46
  we've
• 52:46
  lost
• 52:46
  two
• 52:47
  out
• 52:47
  of
• 52:47
  three
• 52:47
  to
• 52:47
  Washington,
• 52:48
  where
• 52:48
  those,
• 52:49
  you
• 52:49
  know,
• 52:49
  games.
• 52:49
  I
• 52:50
  always
• 52:50
  think
• 52:50
  the
• 52:50
  games
• 52:51
  in
• 52:51
  the
• 52:51
  nle,
• 52:51
  the
• 52:52
  bigger.
• 52:52
  It
• 52:52
  probably
• 52:52
  could
• 52:52
  have
• 52:53
  helped
• 52:53
  us
• 52:53
  with
• 52:53
  a
• 52:53
  tiebreaker
• 52:54
  against
• 52:54
  the
• 52:55
  Diamondbacks.
• 52:55
  But
• 52:56
  at
• 52:56
  this
• 52:56
  point,
• 52:57
  John,
• 52:57
  you
• 52:57
  just
• 52:57
  got
• 52:57
  to
• 52:58
  go
• 52:58
  out
• 52:58
  there
• 52:58
  and
• 52:58
  hope
• 52:58
  that
• 52:58
  Peterson
• 52:59
  outdoes
• 52:59
  everybody.
• 53:00
  Tong
• 53:01
  pitches
• 53:01
  a
• 53:01
  great
• 53:01
  game
• 53:02
  on
• 53:02
  Wednesday
• 53:03
  night,
• 53:03
  and,
• 53:04
  you
• 53:04
  know,
• 53:05
  maybe
• 53:05
  you
• 53:05
  get
• 53:05
  something
• 53:05
  from
• 53:05
  Sproat
• 53:06
  and
• 53:06
  Amanga
• 53:06
  only
• 53:07
  goes
• 53:07
  four
• 53:07
  or
• 53:07
  five
• 53:07
  innings.
• 53:08
  You
• 53:08
  know,
• 53:08
  I.
• 53:08
  Honestly,
• 53:09
  Mike,
• 53:09
  I
• 53:09
  thought
• 53:09
  about.
• 53:10
  With
• 53:10
  the
• 53:11
  days
• 53:11
  off,
• 53:11
  I
• 53:11
  thought
• 53:12
  about
• 53:12
  trying
• 53:12
  to
• 53:12
  make
• 53:12
  that
• 53:12
  trip,
• 53:13
  but
• 53:13
  I
• 53:13
  can't
• 53:13
  put
• 53:14
  myself
• 53:14
  through
• 53:14
  this
• 53:14
  anymore.
• 53:15
  You
• 53:15
  know,
• 53:15
  I'm
• 53:16
  going
• 53:16
  to
• 53:16
  watch.
• 53:16
  I
• 53:17
  wouldn't
• 53:17
  let
• 53:17
  you.
• 53:17
  I'm
• 53:18
  going
• 53:18
  to
• 53:18
  watch
• 53:18
  from
• 53:18
  the
• 53:18
  living
• 53:19
  room.
• 53:19
  But
• 53:20
  it
• 53:20
  really
• 53:21
  has
• 53:21
  gotten
• 53:21
  to
• 53:21
  the
• 53:21
  point
• 53:22
  where
• 53:22
  I
• 53:22
  look
• 53:22
  up
• 53:22
  at
• 53:22
  the
• 53:22
  scoreboard
• 53:23
  and
• 53:23
  I
• 53:23
  see
• 53:23
  3.1
• 53:24
  million
• 53:25
  fans
• 53:25
  showing
• 53:26
  up.
• 53:27
  Then
• 53:27
  I
• 53:27
  see
• 53:27
  that
• 53:27
  the
• 53:27
  tickets
• 53:28
  are
• 53:28
  going
• 53:28
  up
• 53:28
  by
• 53:28
  an
• 53:29
  average
• 53:29
  of
• 53:29
  22
• 53:29
  to
• 53:29
  33,
• 53:30
  30%
• 53:30
  next
• 53:31
  year.
• 53:32
  It's
• 53:32
  terrible.
• 53:33
  That
• 53:33
  much
• 53:34
  depending
• 53:34
  on
• 53:35
  where
• 53:35
  you're
• 53:35
  sitting.
• 53:36
  Certain
• 53:36
  people
• 53:36
  have
• 53:36
  said
• 53:37
  they're
• 53:37
  going
• 53:37
  up
• 53:37
  30%.
• 53:38
  So
• 53:38
  if
• 53:38
  they
• 53:39
  had
• 53:39
  season
• 53:39
  tickets,
• 53:40
  you
• 53:40
  know,
• 53:40
  we're
• 53:40
  an
• 53:40
  average
• 53:41
  of
• 53:41
  100
• 53:41
  a
• 53:41
  ticket
• 53:42
  or
• 53:42
  up
• 53:42
  to,
• 53:42
  like,
• 53:42
  130
• 53:43
  bucks
• 53:43
  now.
• 53:44
  And,
• 53:44
  you
• 53:44
  know,
• 53:45
  I'm
• 53:45
  just
• 53:45
  waiting
• 53:45
  to
• 53:45
  get
• 53:45
  that
• 53:45
  bill
• 53:46
  because
• 53:46
  they're
• 53:46
  holding
• 53:47
  my
• 53:47
  playoff
• 53:47
  money
• 53:48
  right
• 53:48
  now.
• 53:48
  And,
• 53:49
  you
• 53:49
  know,
• 53:49
  I
• 53:50
  don't
• 53:50
  expect
• 53:50
  to
• 53:50
  step
• 53:50
  foot
• 53:51
  back
• 53:51
  in
• 53:51
  that
• 53:51
  building
• 53:51
  this
• 53:51
  year.
• 53:56
  The
• 53:56
  fans
• 53:56
  did
• 53:56
  come
• 53:57
  out
• 53:57
  this
• 53:57
  year,
• 53:57
  you
• 53:57
  know,
• 53:58
  to
• 53:58
  their
• 53:58
  credit,
• 53:59
  because
• 53:59
  Cohen
• 54:00
  did,
• 54:00
  you
• 54:00
  know,
• 54:01
  mention
• 54:01
  that
• 54:02
  in
• 54:02
  March
• 54:02
  and
• 54:03
  during
• 54:03
  spring,
• 54:03
  saying,
• 54:04
  you
• 54:04
  know,
• 54:05
  you
• 54:05
  know,
• 54:05
  they
• 54:05
  want
• 54:05
  to
• 54:06
  see
• 54:06
  the
• 54:06
  fans.
• 54:06
  I
• 54:06
  mean,
• 54:07
  the
• 54:07
  Mets
• 54:07
  fans
• 54:07
  have
• 54:08
  come
• 54:08
  to
• 54:08
  Queens
• 54:09
  this
• 54:09
  season
• 54:09
  and
• 54:10
  they've
• 54:10
  unfortunately
• 54:11
  seen
• 54:11
  a
• 54:11
  poor
• 54:12
  product,
• 54:12
  but
• 54:13
  they
• 54:13
  did
• 54:13
  come
• 54:14
  out.
• 54:14
  Yeah.
• 54:15
  Yeah,
• 54:15
  there's
• 54:15
  really.
• 54:16
  There's
• 54:17
  not
• 54:17
  a
• 54:17
  lot
• 54:17
  of
• 54:17
  blame
• 54:17
  to
• 54:18
  be
• 54:18
  thrown
• 54:18
  around
• 54:18
  other
• 54:19
  places
• 54:19
  other
• 54:19
  than
• 54:20
  looking
• 54:20
  in
• 54:20
  the
• 54:20
  mirror.
• 54:21
  And
• 54:22
  I
• 54:22
  think
• 54:22
  that
• 54:23
  the
• 54:23
  best
• 54:23
  point
• 54:24
  that
• 54:24
  came
• 54:24
  up,
• 54:25
  John,
• 54:25
  that
• 54:25
  you
• 54:25
  made
• 54:25
  is
• 54:25
  that
• 54:26
  Stearns
• 54:27
  has
• 54:27
  to
• 54:27
  just
• 54:27
  reevaluate,
• 54:28
  especially
• 54:29
  starting
• 54:29
  pitching,
• 54:30
  about
• 54:30
  what
• 54:31
  that
• 54:31
  means
• 54:31
  for
• 54:31
  this
• 54:32
  team.
• 54:32
  And
• 54:34
  when
• 54:34
  you
• 54:34
  had
• 54:34
  a
• 54:34
  prolific
• 54:35
  August
• 54:35
  like
• 54:36
  they
• 54:36
  did,
• 54:36
  you
• 54:37
  know,
• 54:37
  unlike
• 54:37
  any
• 54:37
  other,
• 54:38
  you
• 54:38
  have
• 54:38
  Soto
• 54:39
  having
• 54:39
  the
• 54:39
  year
• 54:39
  that
• 54:40
  he's
• 54:40
  having.
• 54:41
  You
• 54:41
  know,
• 54:41
  offensively,
• 54:42
  they
• 54:43
  know
• 54:43
  how
• 54:43
  to
• 54:43
  Put
• 54:43
  it
• 54:43
  together.
• 54:43
  But
• 54:44
  the
• 54:44
  pitching
• 54:46
  has
• 54:46
  just
• 54:46
  been
• 54:48
  abominable.
• 54:49
  It's
• 54:49
  just
• 54:49
  terrible.
• 54:50
  The
• 54:50
  results
• 54:50
  are
• 54:50
  bad.
• 54:50
  You
• 54:51
  got
• 54:51
  to
• 54:51
  be
• 54:51
  able
• 54:51
  to
• 54:51
  win
• 54:51
  some
• 54:51
  games.
• 54:52
  But
• 54:52
  thanks
• 54:52
  for
• 54:52
  coming
• 54:52
  on,
• 54:53
  John.
• 54:53
  Hopefully
• 54:54
  in
• 54:54
  a
• 54:54
  couple
• 54:55
  weeks,
• 54:55
  maybe
• 54:55
  a
• 54:55
  miracle
• 54:56
  happens
• 54:56
  and,
• 54:56
  you
• 54:57
  know,
• 54:57
  the
• 54:57
  Mets
• 54:57
  are
• 54:57
  still
• 54:57
  playing.
• 54:58
  But
• 54:59
  thanks
• 54:59
  again
• 54:59
  for
• 55:00
  giving
• 55:00
  us
• 55:00
  some
• 55:00
  insight
• 55:00
  and
• 55:01
  being
• 55:01
  my
• 55:01
  therapy.
• 55:03
  You
• 55:04
  got
• 55:04
  it,
• 55:04
  guys.
• 55:05
  Thanks
• 55:05
  for
• 55:05
  having
• 55:05
  me.
• 55:06
  Talk
• 55:06
  to
• 55:06
  you
• 55:06
  soon.
• 55:07
  Absolutely.
• 55:08
  John
• 55:08
  Hanson,
• 55:08
  thanks
• 55:09
  so
• 55:09
  much
• 55:09
  for
• 55:09
  being
• 55:09
  on.
• 55:10
  Yeah,
• 55:10
  he's.
• 55:11
  I
• 55:11
  don't
• 55:11
  think
• 55:12
  anybody
• 55:13
  sums
• 55:13
  it
• 55:13
  up
• 55:14
  any
• 55:14
  better
• 55:14
  or
• 55:14
  gives
• 55:14
  insights
• 55:15
  like
• 55:15
  he
• 55:16
  does.
• 55:16
  Kind
• 55:16
  of
• 55:17
  talks.
• 55:17
  Talks
• 55:18
  us
• 55:18
  both
• 55:18
  down.
• 55:19
  You
• 55:19
  know,
• 55:19
  he's
• 55:20
  a
• 55:20
  passionate
• 55:20
  guy,
• 55:20
  but
• 55:21
  he's
• 55:21
  got
• 55:21
  his
• 55:21
  finger
• 55:22
  on
• 55:22
  the
• 55:22
  pulse
• 55:22
  of
• 55:22
  what?
• 55:23
  What's
• 55:23
  up
• 55:23
  with
• 55:23
  the
• 55:23
  team?
• 55:24
  I
• 55:24
  think
• 55:25
  the
• 55:25
  million
• 55:26
  dollar
• 55:26
  question
• 55:27
  that
• 55:27
  I
• 55:27
  still
• 55:28
  believe
• 55:29
  nobody
• 55:29
  has
• 55:29
  the
• 55:29
  answer
• 55:30
  to
• 55:30
  is
• 55:31
  what
• 55:31
  is
• 55:31
  missing?
• 55:32
  A
• 55:33
  lot.
• 55:33
  Yeah.
• 55:34
  It's
• 55:34
  not
• 55:34
  just
• 55:35
  one
• 55:35
  thing.
• 55:35
  No,
• 55:35
  a
• 55:36
  lot.
• 55:36
  But
• 55:36
  I
• 55:36
  mean,
• 55:37
  look
• 55:37
  at
• 55:37
  it
• 55:37
  this
• 55:38
  way.
• 55:38
  You're
• 55:38
  missing
• 55:38
  a
• 55:39
  couple
• 55:39
  position
• 55:39
  players.
• 55:39
  The
• 55:40
  bullpen's
• 55:40
  terrible.
• 55:41
  But
• 55:41
  just
• 55:41
  even.
• 55:43
  All
• 55:43
  right.
• 55:44
  And
• 55:44
  this
• 55:44
  is
• 55:45
  going
• 55:45
  to
• 55:45
  sound
• 55:45
  very
• 55:45
  trite,
• 55:46
  but.
• 55:46
  And
• 55:46
  maybe
• 55:47
  there's
• 55:47
  no
• 55:47
  answer
• 55:47
  to
• 55:48
  this,
• 55:48
  but
• 55:48
  so
• 55:49
  last
• 55:49
  year,
• 55:50
  you
• 55:50
  know,
• 55:50
  of
• 55:51
  course,
• 55:51
  exciting
• 55:52
  group,
• 55:52
  whatever
• 55:53
  else
• 55:53
  you
• 55:53
  add.
• 55:54
  Juan
• 55:54
  Soto.
• 55:55
  Yes.
• 55:55
  Right.
• 55:56
  And
• 55:56
  now,
• 55:57
  like,
• 55:57
  we
• 55:57
  don't
• 55:57
  even
• 55:58
  like
• 55:58
  the
• 55:58
  team.
• 55:59
  No,
• 55:59
  there's
• 55:59
  nothing
• 55:59
  to
• 56:00
  like
• 56:00
  about
• 56:00
  them.
• 56:01
  No,
• 56:01
  you're
• 56:01
  missing
• 56:02
  a
• 56:02
  lot.
• 56:02
  Yeah.
• 56:02
  I
• 56:02
  mean,
• 56:03
  spunk.
• 56:04
  Listen,
• 56:05
  there
• 56:05
  is
• 56:05
  none.
• 56:06
  I'm
• 56:06
  going
• 56:06
  to
• 56:06
  finish
• 56:06
  with
• 56:06
  this
• 56:07
  because
• 56:07
  I
• 56:07
  know
• 56:07
  we
• 56:07
  only
• 56:07
  got
• 56:07
  a
• 56:07
  couple
• 56:08
  minutes
• 56:08
  left.
• 56:09
  It's
• 56:09
  about
• 56:09
  results.
• 56:10
  You
• 56:10
  know,
• 56:10
  you
• 56:10
  could
• 56:11
  be
• 56:11
  happy
• 56:11
  that
• 56:11
  the
• 56:11
  Mets
• 56:12
  came
• 56:12
  back
• 56:12
  and
• 56:12
  tied
• 56:12
  the
• 56:13
  game.
• 56:13
  And
• 56:13
  the
• 56:13
  Mets
• 56:13
  were
• 56:13
  competitive
• 56:14
  and
• 56:14
  the
• 56:14
  Mets
• 56:15
  kept
• 56:15
  it
• 56:15
  going.
• 56:15
  We're
• 56:15
  playing
• 56:16
  meaningful
• 56:17
  September
• 56:17
  baseball.
• 56:18
  But
• 56:18
  the
• 56:18
  New
