0:40
Speaker 1: what happened to my color? Who I think was gonna
0:43
Speaker 1: come after me because he wanted to talk old school
0:47
Speaker 1: ball versus new school ball. Because I can give him
0:50
Speaker 1: a piece of my mind, we can get into that.
0:52
Speaker 2: If it amazes then you don't know anything about basketball.
0:55
Speaker 1: If he wants a piece pull up, I'm right here, Hey,
0:59
Speaker 1: come at me, bro. What about Lee in Florida? As
1:02
Speaker 1: it was kind of a big deal tonight in college
1:04
Speaker 1: basketball with Ukon having that historic victory Overdukel right off
1:09
Speaker 1: the bench, but technically two should have won. Now they
1:13
Speaker 1: shouldn't have Lee in Florida. What's up?
1:16
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, listen, I was
1:19
Speaker 2: just listening to the guy talk about the eighty four
1:22
Speaker 2: eighty five you know, College of Basketball, which always comes
1:25
Speaker 2: up every year anyway. But anyway, what I was trying
1:28
Speaker 2: to compare to talk about in those memory days, you've
1:34
Speaker 2: got the Arizona Wildcats now going again in the Final
1:37
Speaker 2: four and back in the late eighties. I don't think
1:42
Speaker 2: it was eighty four and eighty five, but it was
1:45
Speaker 2: in the late eighties just shortly after that that the
1:47
Speaker 2: Arizona Wildcats were ranked number one from like day one
1:52
Speaker 2: moment one, and they ended up was only having like
1:55
Speaker 2: one loss throughout the season. And then they went to
1:58
Speaker 2: the conference tournaments and they blew the first game because
2:03
Speaker 2: the guy wouldn't even play the starting five and he
2:07
Speaker 2: was already in the NCAA tournament. He just they lost
2:09
Speaker 2: the first game of the conference tournament.
2:12
Speaker 1: And is this Sean Miller? Who was this?
2:15
Speaker 2: I'm not sure who the coach was. I can't remember
2:19
Speaker 2: the coach, but he was. He was a long time
2:20
Speaker 2: Arizona Wildcats coach, you know, for many many many years.
2:25
Speaker 2: Uh well, probably probably the best coach of the Arizona
2:27
Speaker 2: Wildcats ever had. But anyway, uh he just like I say,
2:31
Speaker 2: in those days, the conference tournament was not like it
2:33
Speaker 2: was today. But that changed because they lost that first
2:38
Speaker 2: game of the conference tournament and said, well, we're going
2:40
Speaker 2: no matter what happens in the tournament, We're going to
2:42
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament because when number one, you know, in
2:45
Speaker 2: the whole nation. And uh so that changed the whole
2:48
Speaker 2: conference turns out to where we have today. Now you
2:50
Speaker 2: have the bracket, and you have the buy the best
2:54
Speaker 2: teams that have a buy in, you know, they don't
2:56
Speaker 2: they don't play in the first round of the conference tournaments.
2:59
Speaker 2: So that that chased that whole thing.
3:00
Speaker 1: Okay, you're probably talking about loude Olsen.
3:02
Speaker 2: Right, that's it. That's the guy.
3:05
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, pretty damn good coach. Well what's your central
3:10
Speaker 1: point here, though, Lee, You're just going down memory lane?
3:12
Speaker 1: What is this?
3:14
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, no, I'll comparing it to the Wildcats today.
3:17
Speaker 2: Now here they are, you know, right number one, you
3:20
Speaker 2: know in the brackets, you know, and and so you know,
3:25
Speaker 2: don't you know, don't be surprised why this Yukon win.
3:28
Speaker 2: And and and you know this this the Wildcats are
3:33
Speaker 2: still in that same kind of type mode. You know,
3:35
Speaker 2: it's all about the NCAA tournament. And Duke was just
3:38
Speaker 2: not up for it with this game. You know, they
3:41
Speaker 2: had already put their sites past well.
3:43
Speaker 1: To be fairly, Duke almost lost their first game. Duke
3:48
Speaker 1: was hanging on in their opening round game. Duke looked
3:53
Speaker 1: a little bit fraudulent, a little bit shook initially. So
3:57
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that the Dukies blew another ball game
4:01
Speaker 1: right off the bed.
4:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and you know, and like you say,
4:05
Speaker 2: my final thing was done that year, that that the
4:09
Speaker 2: Wildcats already put past getting into the NCAA tourn They
4:13
Speaker 2: did not do well. That frazzled them, you know, to
4:17
Speaker 2: tell me he thought he was doing the right thing
4:19
Speaker 2: by Steve and the players and being ready for the tournament.
4:22
Speaker 2: But you know they were Actually.
4:24
Speaker 1: It's the old question Ress versus RUSS. They weren't as
4:27
Speaker 1: battle tested. Then I get it. I get where you're going, Lee.
4:29
Speaker 1: I think it's a good point. I appreciate the phone call.
4:31
Speaker 1: My friend g Let's go to David calling from Kansas. David,
4:37

5:36
Speaker 1: was no sports take? There was no video game take, nothing.
5:39
Speaker 1: You just want to praise me because that does look
5:41
Speaker 1: suspect on my part.
5:43
Speaker 3: Well, I have a sports take, just so that you know.
5:49
Speaker 3: From whence I come. I watched George Mike and Chuck
5:55
Speaker 3: Taylor when they came to my hometown to play basketball
5:58
Speaker 3: at a local university.
6:00
Speaker 1: Hey, what happened to George Miken when they expanded the paint?
6:03
Speaker 1: He wasn't the same guy after that?
6:04
Speaker 4: You know, well, I was.
6:07
Speaker 3: I was pretty young when that happened. I was in
6:11
Speaker 3: in uh late late grade school, early junior high when
6:15
Speaker 3: when when they started showing up.
6:17
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, David, didn't you think it
6:19
Speaker 1: was bs that the Lakers didn't retire his jersey till
6:23
Speaker 1: like a couple of seasons ago. They were fine raising
6:26
Speaker 1: the banners that he won, but for some reason they
6:28
Speaker 1: waited forever to retire Miken's jersey from Minneapolis.
6:33
Speaker 3: Well, I yeah, that whole thing. There's the Lakers. At
6:40
Speaker 3: least my experience with him now, certainly in this era
6:44
Speaker 3: is not it's not good. But the Lakers were really
6:48
Speaker 3: great because I lived up in South Dakota and uh
6:52
Speaker 3: so the Minneapolis Lakers were Uh, you know, wasn't the
6:57
Speaker 3: big change that we got we got to listen to.
7:01
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of them, But what point
7:02
Speaker 1: did you want to get across here, David?
7:04
Speaker 3: Well, I just wanted to say that I do listen
7:07
Speaker 3: to the Clippers.
7:07
Speaker 1: Now, I never thought, where's the applause? Well you know what,
7:13
Speaker 1: I got one of my machines, double applause. So many
7:19
Speaker 1: like her fans. They're clapping fans, clubber fans.
7:24
Speaker 3: You dozen of us, You and Carlo Emanus are very
7:29

7:46
Speaker 1: Wow are they crooked backstabbers? And that was your saying,
7:50
Speaker 1: how dare you? They're right here? They've been helping me
7:52
Speaker 1: all night.

Speaker 3: that I used to play. When I I will just
8:03
Speaker 3: give you, I'll give you a taste of my talents.

Speaker 2: Pig?
8:46
Speaker 1: I well done. This is the upward trajectory of your career.
8:52
Speaker 1: It's all it's all downhill from here. That was so good, David,
8:55
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling it all right. I called him
8:58
Speaker 1: out and he's back. I don't know. I haven't even
9:02
Speaker 1: started with him yet, but this could be a fight.
9:04
Speaker 4: An you guys ever heard the expression fighting?
9:07
Speaker 1: Mark a Philly guy. You know what's on? Mark calling
9:10
Speaker 1: in from Philly. He wants to talk old school NBA
9:13
Speaker 1: versus news school. Mark, what's up here on with Adam
9:16
Speaker 1: Oslyn filling in for big Man Meller tonight here on
9:18
Speaker 1: Fox Sports.
9:18
Speaker 4: Radio, high Mark, how do you say your last name again?
9:21
Speaker 1: Oslin? A US l U N D Land of all us?
9:26
Speaker 2: Say it?
9:27
Speaker 7: Uh?
9:27
Speaker 1: Well, Adam Ashland? He calls me Adam Ashland. There's worse, Aye,
9:32
Speaker 1: Adam Aslin had a masthmus Brian Brian Auslin. I mean
9:36
Speaker 1: I've gotten some really close. They're right there. What do
9:41
Speaker 1: you want to call me? Mark?
9:43
Speaker 4: I'll just go with Adam.
9:44
Speaker 8: But you lost me last hour when Steve Reference, Steve Reference,
9:47
Speaker 8: Cab Calloway and Caesar Romero. So your audience trended up
9:52
Speaker 8: about forty years. I'm calling about the NBA today versus yesteryear.
9:59
Speaker 8: So you're so siated with the Clippers. So that would
10:02
Speaker 8: explain why you don't understand today's NBA.
10:04
Speaker 4: They've been a irrelevant ever since.
10:06
Speaker 1: Really, hold on, see you're already off base. The Clippers
10:10
Speaker 1: are about to get to because the Clippers are about
10:13
Speaker 1: to get to fifteen straight winning seasons. That would be
10:16
Speaker 1: the longest such streak in the NBA currently fifteen straight
10:20
Speaker 1: winning seasons.
10:22
Speaker 4: Yes, they haven't won ang with how many championships.
10:24
Speaker 1: Look, they've had some bad luck along the way. Here
10:26
Speaker 1: is this do you call in you have this tone
10:29
Speaker 1: with Big Ben Maller or is it just me?
10:31
Speaker 8: How you coming back doesn't take Ben refuses to take
10:33
Speaker 8: my call because he knows he'll get beat down.
10:35
Speaker 4: At least you'll stand up with the man and take
10:37
Speaker 4: the call. I do appreciate that.
10:39
Speaker 8: Now, as far as the NBA compared to yesteryear, I
10:42
Speaker 8: don't understand.
10:44
Speaker 4: Okay, how you can compare and.
10:45
Speaker 8: Say that today's NBA is a better quality product. Okay,
10:49
Speaker 8: they play harder, other better athlete. Anything across the board
10:53
Speaker 8: is incorrect.
10:54
Speaker 1: So you don't think you guys being better shooters in
10:57
Speaker 1: the game of basketball where it involves putting the ball
11:00
Speaker 1: in the hoop. You don't think guys that can do
11:02
Speaker 1: that for more places on the court means they're more skilled.
11:06
Speaker 4: I think that's one aspect.
11:07
Speaker 1: Okay, you don't think that's a pretty big look.
11:12
Speaker 8: No, you're overlooking the nights off the laziness of today's player.
11:18
Speaker 1: To what do you mean the laziness of today's player?
11:21
Speaker 2: I don't.
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't understand what you're saying there. I understand nights
11:24
Speaker 1: off in load management. I also understand that guys are
11:27
Speaker 1: having longer Okay, so you think all these guys just
11:31
Speaker 1: don't want to play and are just being lazy, it's
11:34
Speaker 1: not because they're actually injured. So when Kawhi Leonard tears
11:37
Speaker 1: his ACL and doesn't want to play, it's because he's
11:41
Speaker 1: just lazy. He doesn't have a torn ACL.
11:43
Speaker 4: When did he tear his ACL and play through it?
11:46
Speaker 8: I want to question that, right, it's when it's when
11:50
Speaker 8: he's healthy and doesn't play.
11:52
Speaker 4: It's when the majority of the players.
11:53
Speaker 1: So you know his body so well and know when
11:57
Speaker 1: he's healthier, when he's not, mark better than he does us.
12:00
Speaker 4: He has the documented history.
12:01
Speaker 8: I asked Greg Popovich about his history of playing through injury.
12:06
Speaker 1: No, Greg Papovich and him were fine. It was Tony
12:09
Speaker 1: Parker who made a comment once about him in San
12:11
Speaker 1: Antonio and Kawhi Leonard and Greg Popovich have a great relationship.
12:16
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure it worked out very well in the
12:18
Speaker 4: end for both. But I will just say.
12:20
Speaker 1: I would say Kawhi getting traded to the Raptors and
12:22
Speaker 1: him winning that championship, I mean that worked out pretty
12:25
Speaker 1: nicely in twenty nineteen and not the worst thing it did.
12:27
Speaker 8: But since he's come to the Clippers, he has stolen
12:30
Speaker 8: Steve Bamber's money. Whether he's working or not, I mean
12:32
Speaker 8: that's still under question. Let me he earned all that money.
12:35
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something. You think all the training
12:38
Speaker 1: Kawhi does, which maybe actually hurts his body because he
12:44
Speaker 1: works so hard and his body betrays him, is the
12:47
Speaker 1: sign of a lazy player. You think he'd rather do
12:50
Speaker 1: the training than actually play in games. He trains so
12:54
Speaker 1: hard so he can play in games. The fun part is, yes.
13:00
Speaker 8: To avoid the game of the press conference is what
13:02
Speaker 8: would suit Kawhi?
13:04
Speaker 1: You think actively, one of the greatest players ever when
13:06
Speaker 1: he's healthy, wants to avoid games. One of the most
13:09
Speaker 1: clutch players with some of the biggest shots ever wants
13:12
Speaker 1: to avoid games. I think that's as nine.
13:16
Speaker 8: The best players, the best players in the world today
13:18
Speaker 8: are all from out of the USA. So it's not
13:21
Speaker 8: even America's game anymore.
13:23
Speaker 1: It's almost like global Mark. And yes, the ninety two
13:27
Speaker 1: Dream Team was going up against ten cans compared to
13:30
Speaker 1: the guys today you have to go up against in
13:33
Speaker 1: the international game. Turns out there's a larger talent pool now, Mark,
13:37
Speaker 1: because the game has grown. And credit Michael Jordan. He
13:40
Speaker 1: got he got guys to be playing basketball everywhere. And
13:43
Speaker 1: you're right, there wouldn't be Nikola Jokis. There wouldn't be honest,
13:47
Speaker 1: Dena Kompo, Luka, Doncis, Joe Ellenbiid and all these guys
13:50
Speaker 1: if the game didn't get so popular. That's not to
13:53
Speaker 1: diminish the Americans. It's just the game has gone global.
13:57
Speaker 8: Well, that's what cements his legacy as to go, not Lebron,
14:01
Speaker 8: not anyone who is coming after about influence, not even Kobe.
14:06
Speaker 8: They don't touch Michael. They don't touch what he did
14:09
Speaker 8: throughout his career and even in Washington when he was
14:12
Speaker 8: forty years old he played eighty two games his final
14:16
Speaker 8: year eighty two.
14:17
Speaker 4: Now Lebron will never be played.
14:19
Speaker 1: Did he play well in all those eighty two games?
14:21
Speaker 1: And he have some nights he was scoring?
14:23
Speaker 8: Can actually see scory six points? You failed to understand
14:27
Speaker 8: he entertained the fans by showing up and playing and
14:29
Speaker 8: not sitting there in street flows.
14:31
Speaker 1: I don't know if all those games are very entertaining.
14:33
Speaker 1: You look like a fraction of himself. Mark, It doesn't matter,
14:36
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. His name is still Michael Jordan, but
14:39
Speaker 1: he doesn't actually look.
14:40
Speaker 4: Actually look like he average that final year at him?
14:43
Speaker 4: I'll do that.
14:44
Speaker 1: I think twenty on like twenty one shot attempts.
14:47
Speaker 4: Let me do the research for you.
14:48
Speaker 8: He averaged twenty points a games his final Is that
14:51
Speaker 8: what I just said?
14:52
Speaker 1: And how many shots?
14:53
Speaker 2: That bad?
14:53
Speaker 1: How many shots did he take to get to those
14:56
Speaker 1: twenty points? My friend? How many shots did he take?
14:58
Speaker 8: Was he? I don't have that number in fun, but
15:01
Speaker 8: I know he got to twenty points, and I know
15:03
Speaker 8: he played every game.
15:04
Speaker 4: Let's did Lebron James do that?
15:06
Speaker 1: Nineteen shots?
15:09
Speaker 2: Like?
15:10
Speaker 1: Mark? Why do you? Why do you hate Lebron James
15:12
Speaker 1: so much? Does he threaten your idols? He threw out Jordan.
15:17
Speaker 1: Not a narcissist, No, not an egotistical guy? Whatsoever?
15:21
Speaker 4: Michael Michael Jordans did we hear from him except from
15:25
Speaker 4: NASCAR these days?
15:26
Speaker 1: So you're comparing him post career to Lebron during career? Like,
15:33
Speaker 1: is that fair? Why don't we talk about Michael Jordan
15:35
Speaker 1: and how he was back then? You think he wasn't
15:38
Speaker 1: a narcissist? Do you think Michael Jordan didn't think much
15:40
Speaker 1: of himself? Get out of here?
15:42
Speaker 8: But he backed it up.
15:43
Speaker 9: He backed it up, always.
15:45
Speaker 4: Backed it up.
15:46
Speaker 1: Did he back it up in Washington? Did he back
15:49
Speaker 1: it up when Nick Anderson stole the ball from him?
15:52
Speaker 1: Did he back it up when he lost to the
15:53
Speaker 1: Pistons in three straight years? But those don't.
15:55
Speaker 8: Count, right, playing every game his final year averaging as
15:59
Speaker 8: long as your every.
16:00
Speaker 1: Game, even if you're playing badly, that's all that matters.
16:03
Speaker 8: All Lebron has done is try to emulate Michael Jordan,
16:06
Speaker 8: and he's falling short except with the points, and that's
16:09
Speaker 8: the longevity record. So congrats to Lebron for that. If
16:12
Speaker 8: you think today's NBA is challenged, let me ask you something.
16:17
Speaker 1: Is Michael Jordan going six and zero against the Golden
16:19
Speaker 1: State Warriors with Kevin.
16:20
Speaker 8: J Ruiters they're better shooters, and they travel in better quality,
16:24
Speaker 8: they stay at nicer hotels. So Ben is correct about
16:27
Speaker 8: that they get the catered deals. These guys are so
16:30
Speaker 8: spoiled and catered.
16:31
Speaker 1: I get it. Getting off my lawn, Okay, Boomer, all
16:34
Speaker 1: that stuff. I get it. You don't like the new NBA.
16:37
Speaker 1: You think it was always better. Everything was better in
16:40
Speaker 1: your prime, including the NBA. I get it.
16:43
Speaker 4: Everything was better, But today the person is everybody.
16:46
Speaker 1: Do you know what that's called. He's golden age syndrome.
16:50
Speaker 1: Believe me, I used to have it. I used to
16:52
Speaker 1: feel the same way about nineties basketball. I used to
16:55
Speaker 1: revere it. I felt like this is the pinnacle of basketball.
16:58
Speaker 1: When I go back and watch fool game and not
17:00
Speaker 1: just highlights, it doesn't look the same as it did
17:02
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, kind of like some of
17:04
Speaker 1: those movies that don't hold up that well that you
17:06
Speaker 1: cherished as a kid. The game keeps, it keeps them,
17:09
Speaker 1: It stays to uh, it evolves, and we actually have
17:12
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan talking about that. We'll get into it a
17:14
Speaker 1: little bit later. The game evolves, Mark, And even Michael
17:17
Speaker 1: Jordan said so very recently, product he will.
17:23
Speaker 8: Never say that Nobody will say that who watches the
17:26
Speaker 8: game kingly and that exclusion.
17:28
Speaker 1: Nobody will say what.
17:28
Speaker 4: Nobody will say what the LA Clippers.
17:30
Speaker 1: Nobody will say.
17:31
Speaker 8: What that the game is better than it was back
17:35
Speaker 8: in the nineties in the early two thousands, besides the
17:39
Speaker 8: outside shooting, which there's way too much.
17:43
Speaker 4: No way you can claim that it's better.
17:45
Speaker 1: Besides shooting the basketball in the game of basketball and
17:49
Speaker 1: guys being better at it now, the game is not better.
17:52
Speaker 8: I'm having more proficient outside shooters.
17:55
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it turns out that's a big that's
17:57
Speaker 1: a big deal. It turns out that's a big deal.
17:59
Speaker 1: They figured out the math, they figured out ways to
18:02
Speaker 1: beat the game. Like Mark, we can keep going in
18:05
Speaker 1: circles here, But I got to get to our next guest,
18:07
Speaker 1: and I apologize, but Mark, I will take her call again. Okay,
18:10
Speaker 1: fair debate, great debate.
18:13
Speaker 8: And I love the way that Ben pronounces your last
18:16
Speaker 8: name osn Adam.
18:20
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, love you, my friend. I mean, I
18:22
Speaker 1: kind of knew what we were getting into there. Got
18:24
Speaker 1: a lot of phone calls, but we got a guest
18:26
Speaker 1: coming up. Look, I work at the Dodger station at

Speaker 2: Him, Alan Drank and.
20:25
Speaker 9: Dude, thank you Donny.
20:28
Speaker 1: Well you heard my low level baseball analysis about the
20:31
Speaker 1: Dodgers and the NL West and the landscape of Major
20:34
Speaker 1: League Baseball earlier, but now because the Dodgers have a
20:37
Speaker 1: rare day off. I couldn't let this guy have one,
20:39
Speaker 1: So joining the show a man who covers the Dodgers
20:42
Speaker 1: closely for the OC Register. It's the og from the OC.
20:46
Speaker 1: Bill Plunkett, join the show here. I'm at a maslinin
20:49
Speaker 1: for Ben Maller. Do you follow this man at? Bill
20:51
Speaker 1: Plunkett ocr on X Bill, thanks for doing this.
20:55
Speaker 7: Hey, there's nothing low level about you that anyone would
20:59
Speaker 7: say to your face.
21:00
Speaker 1: Fair enough, and that's why we're doing this on the phone.
21:02
Speaker 1: Right now. Let's talk about what would you like to
21:06
Speaker 1: say to a Duke fan? Because I know there's got
21:08
Speaker 1: to be some shots freud are going on, Bill, you
21:11
Speaker 1: being a the proud sparty that you are. How are
21:14
Speaker 1: you feeling after that shot? Is this a where were you?
21:17
Speaker 1: Type moment?
21:18
Speaker 4: This was?
21:19
Speaker 7: It was like today was the Evil Empire Invitational with
21:24
Speaker 7: Michigan playing and then Duke playing afterwards. So I did
21:29
Speaker 7: not enjoy the first game at all, but the second
21:33
Speaker 7: game was amazing. It was just a crazy.
21:36
Speaker 1: Ending because you guys lost to Yukon. Would you like
21:40
Speaker 1: to see them win it all? Does that do something
21:42
Speaker 1: for you?
21:43
Speaker 12: Yeah?
21:43
Speaker 7: Not really, only if it means Michigan doesn't Okay, that's
21:48
Speaker 7: that's my sole old goal next weekend is for the
21:52
Speaker 7: Wolverines not to win the national Championship.
21:56
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if Chris Webber's walking through that door,
21:58
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. They're the best team since
22:01
Speaker 1: the Fab five. Let's go to the Dodgers.
22:04
Speaker 7: You know, it hurts me, it pains me to say this,
22:08
Speaker 7: but they probably have the best team in the country.
22:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shall see. You know, I thought it was Duke.
22:14
Speaker 1: They blew up my bracket, But I was just going,
22:17
Speaker 1: all chalk, this was my science project. I was saying,
22:20
Speaker 1: I'm taking the favorites all the way through this.
22:23
Speaker 4: Eh.
22:23
Speaker 1: Until now, all right, let's talk about some chock here
22:27
Speaker 1: in southern California where we're based at in Fox Sports
22:30
Speaker 1: Radio Lens. Here in Sherman Oaks. We got the Dodgers
22:33
Speaker 1: in our backyard. And speaking of people hating on teams
22:36
Speaker 1: that wear blue out there, you know, it sure feels
22:38
Speaker 1: like the rest of baseball wants to get their hands
22:41
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers and some of that money they have
22:43
Speaker 1: to spend. Bill, is this something? Where are you already
22:46
Speaker 1: hearing the talk of well, it's your guys' fault. There's
22:49
Speaker 1: a lockout coming next season. This is all on the Dodgers,
22:52
Speaker 1: and maybe partially it matters what happens this year with
22:56
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and how much they just run over the
22:58
Speaker 1: competition with them three you know already.
23:02
Speaker 7: I don't think it really matters. I think the showdown
23:05
Speaker 7: is coming, whether the Dodgers win or lose. The idea
23:10
Speaker 7: that you know, if they were to win again and
23:13
Speaker 7: that's three in a row, I guess that gives some
23:16
Speaker 7: credence to the owner's side when they, you know, cry
23:20
Speaker 7: competitive balance, imbalance and they can point to the Dodgers
23:24
Speaker 7: dominating for three straight championships. But I think we're headed.
23:30
Speaker 7: We're headed to a showdown regardless.
23:32
Speaker 1: How have they looked so far outside of the low
23:35
Speaker 1: level three and zero record. Kyle Tucker had a big
23:38
Speaker 1: hit the other day. It's weird they're not playing on
23:40
Speaker 1: a Sunday. Is this the only time it's happening this season?
23:43
Speaker 1: But I know they've already had some of those comebacks
23:46
Speaker 1: and they actually have a closer now.
23:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a hard time keeping track of the
23:51
Speaker 7: days of the week as it is, but now you
23:54
Speaker 7: throw in a random off day on a Sunday. I'm
23:57
Speaker 7: going to be screwed up for the next two weeks
23:59
Speaker 7: to I have a hard enough time during spring training,
24:03
Speaker 7: especially when every day just seems the same. So far,
24:07
Speaker 7: it seems to me that they're on pace for one
24:10
Speaker 7: hundred and sixty two to oh, which seems you know,
24:14
Speaker 7: probable for these guys. If they do win the World
24:18
Speaker 7: Series again this year, this will be the most talented
24:21
Speaker 7: team of the three championships. They really whatever issues developed,
24:27
Speaker 7: they seem to have answers for them. They have a
24:31
Speaker 7: deep farm system, they can trade at the deadline to
24:33
Speaker 7: fillo hole. You know, they had one of the more
24:37
Speaker 7: unproductive outfields in baseball last year, so they just go
24:40
Speaker 7: out and sign Kyle Tucker. They had no closer for
24:44
Speaker 7: the last few years, and the bullpen was a problem
24:46
Speaker 7: last year at times, so they go out.
24:49
Speaker 4: And sign Edwin Diaz.
24:50
Speaker 7: I mean, it just seems inevitable that they're going to
24:54
Speaker 7: win again.
24:55
Speaker 1: Do they feel like they're not so much playing against
24:59
Speaker 1: the competition but themselves and past teams of glory and
25:03
Speaker 1: greatness that they're chasing. Is that what the motivation is
25:06
Speaker 1: here for them?
25:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, they say not. They you know, you bring up
25:11
Speaker 7: history and legacy and all that kind of stuff, and
25:13
Speaker 7: they just kind of dismiss it. And the claim that
25:17
Speaker 7: they like to make is that their superpower is focusing
25:22
Speaker 7: on one game at a time. As cliche as that sounds,
25:26
Speaker 7: that's what they say they do. They just worry about
25:29
Speaker 7: the game that night. And it works, It certainly does.
25:34
Speaker 7: But you have to be aware of what's going on.
25:39
Speaker 7: No National league franchise has ever won three championships in
25:43
Speaker 7: a row. Only the Yankees three times and the A's
25:47
Speaker 7: once have done it in baseball history.
25:50
Speaker 4: That's got to be a motivation. You know.
25:52
Speaker 7: Andrew Friedman has been very blunt about it for a
25:55
Speaker 7: few years now. He says he wants this to be
25:58
Speaker 7: the Golden era of Dodger baseball. Well, I would argue
26:02
Speaker 7: that it already is, but that's history. Three in a
26:06
Speaker 7: row would really cement that.
26:09
Speaker 1: Bill Blanket is our guest here, I'm out of Maslin,
26:11
Speaker 1: filling in for Big Ben malache Ton here on Fox
26:13
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Do you think there's some individual goals going
26:18
Speaker 1: on now?
26:18
Speaker 6: Too?
26:19
Speaker 1: Is Otani prime to not just get the MVP, but
26:22
Speaker 1: the cy Young. I know he finished top five in
26:25
Speaker 1: the cy Young before with the Angels, back in the day.
26:28
Speaker 7: He has hinted at it, hasn't come out and said it,
26:32
Speaker 7: but it was more like, well, if I'm going to
26:34
Speaker 7: go win the Cy Young or if I'm going to
26:37
Speaker 7: contend for a Cy Young, Well, clearly it's on his mind.
26:41
Speaker 7: And as crazy as that sounds, you know, it's a
26:45
Speaker 7: reasonable goal for this guy who thought fifty to fifty
26:48
Speaker 7: was a reasonable thing two years ago. So the one
26:53
Speaker 7: thing that I will say that could hold him back
26:56
Speaker 7: is the Dodgers themselves. I mean, they are not going
26:59
Speaker 7: to keep the pedal to the medal all season long.
27:03
Speaker 7: With their starting pitchers. The NL West looks pretty weak.
27:08
Speaker 7: I would not be surprised if they have it locked
27:11
Speaker 7: up by mid August and then you kind of ease
27:14
Speaker 7: back on the starting pitchers. So maybe a guy like
27:18
Speaker 7: Otani or even Yamamoto doesn't get the workload or the
27:23
Speaker 7: innings to really be a cy Young winner. I mean,
27:28
Speaker 7: especially in a league where I know he had a
27:31
Speaker 7: bad start the other day. But Paul Skiing still exists
27:34
Speaker 7: in the National League.
27:36
Speaker 1: You mentioned the NL West there, I was talking about
27:38
Speaker 1: it earlier. Yeah, they're one in ten outside of the
27:41
Speaker 1: Dodgers being three in two. Everybody else is one in ten.
27:44
Speaker 1: Are they that bad? Is this small sample sized theater
27:47
Speaker 1: or the Dodgers is going to run away with a
27:49
Speaker 1: division for what like the thirteenth time in the last fourteen.
27:51
Speaker 7: Years, Yes to the last one. No, they're not as
27:57
Speaker 7: bad as one in ten. We all know that the
28:00
Speaker 7: Rockies are dreadful. There's just nothing to defend there. I
28:04
Speaker 7: was surprised how weak the Diamondbacks pitching, in particular their
28:08
Speaker 7: bullpen looks, so I think that's going to be a
28:12
Speaker 7: huge achilles heel for them. The Giants have just kind
28:17
Speaker 7: of stood their ground at five hundred for the last
28:21
Speaker 7: ten years, except for the anomaly that was twenty one.
28:26
Speaker 7: And the Padres. You know, the Padres have shed talent
28:30
Speaker 7: every year the last few years. You know, Blake Snell
28:34
Speaker 7: and Dylan Sees and guys out of the lineup and
28:38
Speaker 7: so on. I mean, it's Tatisan machado. So they're still
28:42
Speaker 7: going to be fairly good, but they're not going to
28:45
Speaker 7: threaten the Dodgers. None of these teams are.
28:48
Speaker 1: So outside of the nl West, are there real real threats?
28:53
Speaker 1: Like you know, a couple of years ago, the Padres
28:55
Speaker 1: did have them down and as a divisional team, and
28:58
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be scared at talk times last season.
29:01
Speaker 1: You know, they weren't playing their best towards the end,
29:03
Speaker 1: and then Dave Roberts said, it's hunting time. And I
29:08
Speaker 1: know it took up seven games against the Toronto Blue Jays,
29:12
Speaker 1: but anybody else in the NL that can try to chase.
29:15
Speaker 7: Them down, it's so far between now in October that
29:20
Speaker 7: it's impossible to tell. You know, the Phillies look look
29:25
Speaker 7: pretty good. I think the Cups are going to be
29:27
Speaker 7: pretty good if they're pitching holds up. And you know,
29:30
Speaker 7: as dominant as the Dodgers seal with two wins, two
29:35
Speaker 7: World Series wins, they were, you know, on the brink
29:39
Speaker 7: of elimination by the Padres in twenty four, and they
29:43
Speaker 7: won that World Series last year by the you know,
29:46
Speaker 7: the air on Will Smith's big toe, you know, the
29:51
Speaker 7: play at the plate and things like that. I mean,
29:54
Speaker 7: they were very close to losing to the Blue Jays,
29:57
Speaker 7: and the Blue Jays statistically outplayed him in every way
30:01
Speaker 7: during that series. So there's so much of a road ahead,
30:07
Speaker 7: and then October is just a completely different world, it
30:11
Speaker 7: really is. So what the Dodgers do is they try
30:15
Speaker 7: to increase their odds of winning. But you know, even
30:19
Speaker 7: with that, I think it was Fangrass before the season
30:21
Speaker 7: had them twenty nine percent chance to win the World Series,
30:26
Speaker 7: which is enormous in baseball. That's a huge favorite, but
30:30
Speaker 7: it still leaves seventy one percent chance that they don't.
30:34
Speaker 1: So Bill, they act like they're not worried about history
30:38
Speaker 1: and these things. Are you grading them like depending on
30:42
Speaker 1: how they do this season? If they do three pete,
30:45
Speaker 1: are you saying, Okay, Now, I'm convinced they're the best
30:47
Speaker 1: team ever, best team in modern history. And if Altani
30:51
Speaker 1: has a cy Young and an MVP individually, now that
30:54
Speaker 1: definitely means definitively he is the best player ever. How
30:56
Speaker 1: are you looking at this.
30:57
Speaker 7: Team already convinced on Atani? He's done things that nobody
31:04
Speaker 7: ever has or probably ever will. Again, I always laugh
31:08
Speaker 7: at these features that guys right at some point about
31:13
Speaker 7: you know Otani? Is he making it more possible for
31:17
Speaker 7: more two way players? No, nobody could do what he
31:21
Speaker 7: can do. If there were guys out there who could
31:24
Speaker 7: do both things the way he can, they would be
31:27
Speaker 7: doing them already. And as far as the team, when
31:31
Speaker 7: you look at how difficult it is in today's game
31:35
Speaker 7: to win one, let alone two in a row. They're
31:38
Speaker 7: a dynasty, They're a modern dynasty. I don't know that
31:43
Speaker 7: three in a row changes that other than puts them
31:46
Speaker 7: in the conversation for one of the greatest dynasties of
31:49
Speaker 7: all time.
31:51
Speaker 1: Lastly, Bill, what do you think of the ABS so far?
31:54
Speaker 1: Is it working for you? Is it seamless enough? Did
31:56
Speaker 1: you want automated balls and strikes? And maybe now that
31:58
Speaker 1: it is here, you're like, Okay, this is exactly what
32:00
Speaker 1: I was talking about or where you were locked in,
32:02
Speaker 1: and it's trying.
32:03
Speaker 7: To win you over. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
32:09
Speaker 7: I've been in favor of this for a while. So
32:13
Speaker 7: far watching it, it has not been intrusive, doesn't feel
32:18
Speaker 7: like it slows the game down or anything. I'm not
32:21
Speaker 7: a big fan of the strategy. You know, when do
32:24
Speaker 7: we challenge? When do we don't? I just I just
32:26
Speaker 7: wanted to get it right. But I will say two
32:29
Speaker 7: things really stood out to me when we saw it
32:32
Speaker 7: in the spring training and now the first few games
32:34
Speaker 7: of the season. One is how much the fans get
32:37
Speaker 7: into it when it goes.
32:39
Speaker 4: Up there there's like a you know, a.
32:41
Speaker 7: Gas from the crowd, oh a challenge, and then when
32:45
Speaker 7: the outcome is shown overturned or confirmed, there's a roar
32:50
Speaker 7: from the crowd. At least there was a Dodger stadium.
32:53
Speaker 7: I mean, fans are really into it. The other thing
32:56
Speaker 7: I like is the graphic, which shows just how slim
33:01
Speaker 7: the difference is. I mean, we've had, you know, a
33:04
Speaker 7: ball by zero point two inches off the plate. It
33:09
Speaker 7: just shows you how precise these guys are as pitchers
33:14
Speaker 7: and hitters, and how difficult that job is as an umpire.
33:19
Speaker 7: So give him some help. I got no problem with
33:21
Speaker 7: that at all.
33:22
Speaker 1: I like how you welcome our robot overlords like you're
33:24
Speaker 1: trying to get on their good side because it's.
33:27
Speaker 7: Just in listening.
33:28
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's inevitable. Let's be some subservient, let's look
33:31
Speaker 1: like we're willing to worship because I'm all for it too.
33:35
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, and people are here to talk
33:37
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers nationwide on Fox Sports Radio because they
33:40

35:18
Speaker 1: the D Block of the show at this point. D Block,
35:23
Speaker 1: what's up?
35:24
Speaker 6: Good morning sir, Happy Monday for some but anyway, just
35:27
Speaker 6: two quick answers. Give me your taste college college basketball
35:31
Speaker 6: NBA nowadays. I remember back in my day, you know,
35:34
Speaker 6: a five point league used to be safe. That's when
35:37
Speaker 6: nowadays you have comebacks every freaking day, sixteen point leads.
35:42
Speaker 6: It can't even be held. That's my first take a
35:45
Speaker 6: second about Chicago baseball. Come on, White Sox, and we
35:47
Speaker 6: knew you to get a big trash, but come on,
35:49
Speaker 6: Kubb's man, came on all that money we've got. I
35:52
Speaker 6: know it's three games into the season, but we panic
35:54
Speaker 6: man with for Chicago.
35:55
Speaker 4: But thank you. Have a good Monday, all right, D Block?
35:58
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. Bill Plunkett just said last segment
36:00
Speaker 1: he thinks the Chicago Cubs are going to be really good.
36:03
Speaker 1: So he's encouraged, even though they haven't started off so well.
36:07
Speaker 1: The White Sox, it's been downhill since two thousand and
36:10
Speaker 1: five and before two thousand and five. Cardiac Stanley. Cardiac
36:15
Speaker 1: Stanley calling in from Cavaliers Country, Cleveland. Akron Cardiac, what's up, Hey,
36:21
Speaker 1: I got an idea to make the NBA much more watchable.
36:24
Speaker 3: You were talking old school bar earlier. All right, I'll
36:28
Speaker 3: hear that. Hey, We'll start with the NFL. You know
36:31
Speaker 3: how at the NFL the anticipation and excitement created by
36:35
Speaker 3: the two minute warning in the NFL, right, everybody gets excited.
36:39
Speaker 3: Somebody it makes a late score. Okay.
36:43
Speaker 4: My idea is this The three.
36:45
Speaker 3: Point line is not activated until three minutes to go.
36:52
Speaker 7: Aah.
36:53
Speaker 1: That was riveting. What hay he gone make? The three
37:02
Speaker 1: point line gets activated? Is this? Rock and Jock? Somebody
37:07
Speaker 1: else has brought this up before, and there is some
37:11
Speaker 1: intrigue with only letting them shoot three pointers for certain
37:15
Speaker 1: times in the game. But I feel like you're limiting
37:18
Speaker 1: just how skilled the guys are. We went from in
37:21
Speaker 1: the nineties having to shorten the three point line, so
37:25
Speaker 1: now talking about extending it because it's too easy for
37:29
Speaker 1: these guys. And I'll get into more of that later on,
37:32
Speaker 1: and maybe Mark will call back in really upset.
37:35
Speaker 4: And.
37:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might do that to me. He might Rick
37:39
Speaker 1: James me. But I don't think the NBA needs much fixing.
37:43
Speaker 1: They just had an eighty billion dollar media deal signed.
37:48
Speaker 1: Like the demise of the NBA has been greatly exaggerated.
37:52
Speaker 1: The ratings actually are saying that Amazon Prime those games
37:56
Speaker 1: doing great. NBC with my guy Noah Eagle, was watching
38:00
Speaker 1: him on the call for the Denver Nuggets versus the
38:02
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors earlier with Jay Crossover Jamal Crawford. They're
38:06
Speaker 1: doing great. Everything's fine, it's.
38:09
Speaker 8: All, everything's perfectly all right now, we're fine.
38:12
Speaker 1: We're all fine here now, thank you, How are you now?
38:15
Speaker 1: It can always be better and you can't get complacent.
38:19
Speaker 1: And I think Adam Silver trying to do that with
38:20
Speaker 1: eliminating tanking, which is an issue, but I think it's
38:24
Speaker 1: a little bit overblown because it's such an outlier season
38:26
Speaker 1: because there's multiple franchise guys. Everybody thinks they're going to
38:29
Speaker 1: be in this draft, and then a lot of those
38:31
Speaker 1: same teams don't have draft picks after this year, so
38:34
Speaker 1: they got to get in now, so that excuse things
38:37
Speaker 1: a little bit too. Mike, the leprecaun is calling in?
38:40
Speaker 1: Where a lepracaun at? I want to know where to go? Mike,
38:43
Speaker 1: what's up?
38:44
Speaker 12: Good morning?
38:45
Speaker 2: Good Man?
38:46
Speaker 3: Is a socker?
38:48
Speaker 1: Excuse me?
38:49
Speaker 12: Ben is a slacker.
38:51
Speaker 1: Ben is not a slacker. This guy works like you
38:54
Speaker 1: know three sixty four.
38:57
Speaker 2: Did you hear this, goll in we're in Europe.
39:00
Speaker 12: Twelve tons of KitKat bars were stolen over the weekend.
39:04
Speaker 1: Oh you know why, because you got to get that
39:08
Speaker 1: kit cat bar?
39:10
Speaker 12: Yeah, I sent them run anyway. I was just talking
39:14

39:38
Speaker 12: No, no, no, they're flying.
39:39
