(00:50):
on YouTube. Well, you heard Steve Disager say it a
few moments ago. The first real must watch series of
the year in Major League Baseball coast to coast, and
tonight is living up to everything. The World Series rematch
between the Yankees and the Dodgers. Shoho Tani has two
home runs, Aaron Judge has a home run. The Dodgers
(01:14):
have rallied in the sixth inning at least not the fifth.
For the Yankees. But in the sixth inning, the Dodgers
have rallied. They had four they were chasing a five
to two lead because the Yankees had four home runs
off of Tony Gonsolin. And here they are now one
out and the bases loaded, and the Dodgers lead the
Yankees by the score of six to five. I'm telling you, Uh,
(01:36):
it's everybody talks about how you I hear fans talk
all the time, all the all the diehards go, all
the inter league play and all this stuff that we have.
I don't know, man, is this really something? No no
good series like this? It's absolutely worth it to see
the Yankees and the Dodgers in this kind of game
right now.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But that's the thing, right like there's been for years.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The cheap is a no no, you're get a one
hundred and sixty two games slog that you're going through.
We talked dog Days of August whatever else. Uh for
a lot of cities. That happens a lot earlier. White
Sox Choe. Uh No, things are great on the north side,
Suzuki and that other guy doing some great things.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Uh he who must not arm Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We're not bringing up Pete no stop, no stop, We'll
get him and just finish finish what you were saying.
We'll get to Pete Crow Armstrong. We'll get to that,
but nothing as far as your Frostburg. The score of
the Dodgers Yankees game is thirteen to twelve. Yeah, I'm
supposed to believe that. And they're in the third inning,
so you don't.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Have as warming up.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Wow, now that would be something sud hear it. I
don't know, headfield and not have it suddenly appear on
the field.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, no, I don't know this playing guitar and center.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, Bertie, I don't know. You want to bring up Rivera.
I think right now is kind of a tough time
to bring up Rivera. But Bertie Williams, Okay, that's fantast
all right, very good.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I mean he was just trying to get him back
on the mound doing what you know. We know he
did well with no problems.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh no, no, absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's yeah. I know.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Folks google the rest of that story.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Just the point being, there's there's a lot of series
that don't matter. There's a lot. It is a television program,
So what are you doing. You're trying to goose the system.
You're trying to get eyeballs, because in doing these games,
you also get to talk about some of the other
big headlines around the sport, maybe some players and teams
flying under the radar that you say, hey, you might
want to take a look at X Y or Z
(03:37):
right Ramirez with Cleveland, the aforementioned PCA in Chicago, and
go on down the line to get a little bit
of a thrust right, Because the NBA is going to
be done soon, the NHL is going to be done soon.
We're gonna have the NBA Draft, and then it's going
to be front and center everything major League Baseball. So
this is one of your, you know, prime moments to
(03:59):
get people fired up. And given the fact that they
have such rich history, and I mean they did a
montage of all the players that had played with both organizations,
and they could have done that for another forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Oh, I mean they started with Willie Randolf. I'm like, yeah,
let's go, and you just keep going. But Dave Winfield
is at the game tonight. He is I think he
got one hit in the eighty one World Series against
the Dodgers, and he asked for the ball. After he
got he was like one for eighteen. This is what
made George Steinberger called Dave Winfield mister may right. He
got one hit in the eighty one series.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I remember him getting to first base asking for the ball, like, hey,
I want my balls my first World Series and dude,
you're like, you're losing the World Series two. You're like,
now one for thirteen in the World Series. Oh, but
give me the ball. Make sure I get the ball.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Jason. He shops and Whole Foods down the street. If
you want to fight him, No, is.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
He really Oh yeah, I gotta go see David.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I need it for my all century really big.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, well he's a huge six there's no When I
was a kid growing up right now, so eighty one,
I'm like ten years old. I remember watching the Yankees
play and seeing Winfield. I remember looking at my dad
and my grandfa, my grandfriend. I would go because I
was a third baseman, right, That's what I played growing up,
And I said, if I was playing third base and
Dave Winfield was up, I'd be scared. And They're like,
(05:14):
why I go, Because I feel like he's gonna he
could take my head off with a line draw. Yeah,
you know you're reacting fast enough. There is nobody I
was more scared of, like for a third basement, than
watching Windfield at back because I felt like he could
hit the ball one hundred and fifty miles an hour
line drives down the line, like he had so much
incredible power. Made me scared. I was like, I don't
(05:36):
want to be at third base when Winfield is up.
I think I think he could really hurt somebody.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I don't know what it would be, like the old
cartoon characters where he would just hit the ball right
through you and then a small hole would pop on
the floor and you'd have a hole in your body.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Hey, I'm fine, Like Foghorn Lake Horton looks down him
it whoa, I'll say, I say the ball went through
my chest. I'll say that's oh I'm not feeling so good.
Oh boy, but.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We need series with juice. Yeah, you like corn, I'll
say that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Joke. What's that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What's happened that this game?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
You're talking about the biggest game of the year. Yeah,
it's on Apple TV.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Wait, I mean I'm watching it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Folks miss the the opening act. They'll be there for Act.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Two on Fox, This aggression will not stand.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Quiet.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I was giving love to Fox.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, now it is a I mean really, it is
one of those games. And Tim Hill has just gotten
out of the bottom of the sixth inning, uh, leaving
the bases loaded. He gets a double play to end
the inning, yelling into his glove as he goes off
the field by Titan Mike. Wasn't it a great move
by the Yankees to bring him in at the end
of Game one, uh the World Series? I remember when
(06:50):
he came in and shut the door, and all Yankees
fans were glad that. Hey, so glad we brought in Hill,
who was really good, instead of you know, going outside
the box and bringing in the guy who hasn't pitched
a long time. Boy, Tim Hill was the right Too soon,
too soon for that? Too soon?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Are you trying to get all those guys in New
York that that were really upset this week?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Mad at you? No? No, no, all New York. We're
all united behind the Knicks right now, at least for
another day. That then we can go back to our
separate law art rules and and and fights and and
battles out. But we're all united behind the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Look, Sandler's at the at the Dodger game tonight. We're
in a nex Jersey. He is, it's it's okay, we're
all united.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
But as he watches, that looked like Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
No, it actually was. He was actually finish off a
basketball game at Vetts Park and he came to He
came to the game here. It's fun.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know who he plays basketball with a lot though.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Shout him.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
May your guy shout shout him?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He shot remember the Oscars hey Vet's Park at midnight,
We're gonna play. That was a good big And then
he wants somebody goes shout him. He shout, Now, I
will say this about the Yankees, okay, is yes, as
as Harvard just told us. And in the spirit of
Dave Winfield, Aaron Judge lines a shot down the line
(08:08):
for a double. He's at second in the top. I'm
telling the exit velo on that double for Judges one
hundred and nine miles an hour, So I'm telling them.
Rocket Frostburger said, I'm not gonna lie to you when
it comes to this series. I'm not gonna lie you.
Said the nixt We're going to the finals, said we
just gotta win two more games. It has it not
happened yet, it could still just I'm not there's three
(08:31):
teams left in the NBA playoffs where one of them
it can happen. Okay, it's either us or the Pacers. Okay,
it can still happen.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
He's York.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
But I do want to say this about the Yankees
right because it's a it's a special double truth Friday
when I say this. Dodgers. Yeah, look, it's a great
game right now. It's what baseball needs. Dodgers Yankees here
now the team. I mean, even though you can't see it,
we're telling you how it's going.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's like John Cena, you just have to accept the
greatness even.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If you can't see it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
When you turn on your direct TV. Instead of just
the DirecTV logo, it's just John Cena doing You can't
see this game, you can't see just his hands waving
in front of his face. How blacked out in this area?
How has no cable company paid him yet to say, hey,
well you do you can't see this game because you
don't have direct TV. Call your local cable company, right?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
How has John Cena not done that made my hat's
a fine question, Budd. You guys, we're like, hey, put
the mayonnaise in with the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Two cal starkiss. The Yankee scare me right now, regardless
of how tonight goes. Dodgers are winning six', Five This
yankee team scares.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Me.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yes they play in an absolutely craptastic. Division the al
least is the worst division in. Baseball everybody. Stinks just
one problem with the at. Least everybody stinks right. Well
The orioles are starting, Over they're. Terrible The Red sox are,
terrible The Blue jay and the and The rays are five.
Hundred it's. Terrible but this is A yankee team that
(10:07):
really doesn't feel like they're playing well. Yet the only
two players that really feel like they're playing. Well judge
is getting all the, Attention goldschmid is, hitting and you've
had some great starting pitching From Freedom rodin. Right but
outside of, that The yankees still feel like they're at
seventy five. Percent they have so many injuries and guys
that they're hoping to come back or may not come,
(10:28):
back whether It's stanton or or Or, coal and they're
still a top three team In Major League. Baseball they
still have a top three record depending on the. Day
if they win tonight The phillies lose, tonight they're still this.
Good The yankees scare me because you know they're gonna
make whatever move they need at the. Deadline it's not
gonna be something where they go over the top and
spend millions and millions of, dollars but they'll bring in
(10:51):
innings eaters if they. Need they'll bring in whatever position
players by the time we get to the deadline in
another couple of. Months but the fact that The yankees
are still waiting on guys to come back and they
haven't really played to their potential, yet that's really scary
for the rest of. Baseball. MAN i, mean The tigers
have the best, record And tigers are an incredible, story
and they got the pitching and the hitting is much
(11:12):
better than we thought it was gonna, be even they
don't have a lot of name. Players Spencer torkelsen's having
a really good. Year but The yankees really scare me
because The tigers feel like they're playing at the top
level they can play at right like this is this
is the they are peaking right now at the end Of.
May The yankees feel like, yeah we could still turn
things up a little. Bit we're seventy five to eighty,
percent and they're still second best record in THE, al
(11:33):
third best record in. Baseball The yankees really scare. Me
i'm not lying to. You they scare.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Me, YEAH i mean the potential is certainly.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
THERE i, mean we talk about the top of the
rotation you Mentioned Garrett, cole AND i gotta Imagine Brian
cashman's gonna be active as we get close to the
deadline because the back of the rotation has been. Suspect
we talk about the need for all those extra arms
in the pen BECAUSE i also don't anticipate the division
(12:03):
stays to this level of. Drek, right every once in
a while you start seeing a little bit of, Side
like The Red sox played some pretty good ball for a,
stretch and now you Got. Devers seems happy enough as
long as you're asking about what position he's, Playing so that's.
Good The Blue jays man for man like just gross.
(12:24):
Underachievers i'd be curious to go back to the preseason
over under wins totals to see where they're at a
third of the way through the season in terms of
those projections and how far. Off uh the those lines
they are go To. Baltimore one that you scratch your
head based on all the, youth the huge youth movement
(12:46):
and talent that they brought in a couple of moves
to the pitching staff and none of it has worked
to this point to where we already, had you, know
a managerial. Change so, uh maybe that finds a different
level as we get further into the. Season but, yeah
for The, yankees it's Really Brian cashman will Own New
(13:06):
york with one or two big moves because you're gonna
make another run and with your guy flailing no matter
what the record, is If Juan soto continues down this,
path then the poison pens are out for him And
cashman gets to look like the hero of the day,
again which he has not been for a long. Time
they got to The World series last year and that
guy was still getting poison ink everywhere he turned for
(13:29):
something he didn't. Do wait that you know all the
rumors that start shuffling out like The rocks on the
yard And, Shawshank, hey you know what they could have
done at the dead?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Lines was that real or?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
FAKE i want to know if That's reealer, fake because
all of a, sudden you're telling me of all these
deals that could have gone down with there would be.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Prospects is it?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Real is it? Fake Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from
The Fox Sports Radio. Studios The yankee scare, me, Man

Speaker 1 (17:35):
These, days Honestly and Harmon and frostburg don't, believe me
but he's. A liar mark once spot down three, To one,
i'm like you, KNOW what i am going to live
with whatever the, outcome, Is right teams don't come back
from down three. To one it's like five thousand you
know up in like fourteen have. Done IT and i, Get,
that yeah That the pacers did something we haven't SEEN
(17:56):
in nba. History earlier but whatever happens tomorrow, Happens right
like you get down three, to one there's the reason
why you get down three. To one i'm not expecting.
It now if they win Tomorrow and game Seven, Is
monday i'm going to be a lunatic from the end
of the game Tomorrow. Until monday but whatever, happens tomorrow
Just like i'll live, and Die and i'll accept with
Whatever the knicks do at the end of. The game
(18:17):
If It's jalen brunson taking, The shot i'll live with.
The result i'll be able to live with whatever. Happens, Tomorrow,
Wow jason.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I'M surprised i thought you'd be stressed out like YOUR Guy.
Jj reddick just like pouring over, game film all, these
hypotheticals all, the scenarios permutations on do you want to
put all your eggs in one basket of Rooting For
jalen brunton's heroics or, do you in a weird way
want them to flame out because that might mean that
they make massive. ROSTER changes i go all In for
(18:45):
giannis Onto. The kombo there's a lot of different scenarios
HERE that i was curious what you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Thought, about well, NUMBER one i will, Say this i've
had a better YEAR Than, Jj reddick so that's who.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
A.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Few continues, uh no but.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Number. Two yeah, of course on the other side, of
It it's GIANNIS or kd or whatever playmaking Forward the
knicks are going. To get that's a better Fit Than Karl. Anthony,
Towns yeah i'm all right say this Is typical. Knicks, Fan,
markmen hey we're In the we're In The Eastern, conference
Finals and i'm also thinking what are we gonna do for? Next? Year,
right wait do anythings? Come out what are we gonna do?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
NEXT year i will not let You Slander. Carlton towns
his numbers were so Impressive in game five Along With
jalen brunson that people were saying that that was the
first time a duo had that kind of Production Since
chaquille Hill And. Kobe BRYANT so i think he should
be all In on kat and assume that he'll be
a clutch fourth quarter score and he won't commit. Silly.
(19:43):
FOULS yeah i.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Was, Gonna say shilly falls and moving his feet, on
defense something we'd chronicled on this program many.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Many.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Times mark and if it does come to fruition and
some trade happens where he goes Back to Milwaukee and
yanna shows Up In. New YORK then i, give up
because why would you ever make? That?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Deal, dearie hey the consolation If the skiffs cat away
is an egg gets a, foul trouble you have more
time for Pressure petricks achua to come off.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The bench, oh, good listen do YOU think i? Haven't?
Workshopped hey will the? Money work If It's Karl anthony
towns And mcal Bridges? FOR yannis i know that they are,
Good man it's.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
All good so does the math work on? Your side?
DOESN'T say i Think that knicks would have to throw
in even more first round picks than they got For,
McHale BRIDGES and i think what they traded five. For,
him yeah we don't have any, you, Can, ACTUALLY jason
i did look. It up they do have two first
round picks for twenty, twenty six one top, ten protected
(20:45):
the other, all in so you know they do have
some cache to. Work with it's just three less than
what they use for The mchal. Bridges, trupe yeah it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
All, right look it'll bring you honest in. Or something
it's it's gonna, Be, FINE mark.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I don't care whether his, right arm but not, as well,
All right now.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Before we Get, TO giannis i ask you your Gut tomorrow,
Game Six, knicks pacers what? Happens, Tomorrow, WOW.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Jason i hope you're not mad, At ME but i
think it's going to Be the pacers here because, HOME
court i Know the knicker they're going to bring the.
Competitive intensity one thing That the knicks deserve a lot
of credit for is. They're gamers, They're resilient john brunts and.
Clutch player but what we've Seen With tyree thalerbert is
when he, feels challenged he actually plays up to. HIS
potential a lot of times he doesn't feel. That pressure
(21:32):
you see what he Had in. Game, FIVE now i
know the next played, him aggressively they got some, double
teams but you know we've seen kind of this up
and down play throughout. The postseason not so MUCH where
i agree with the athletic. Full saint, he's overrated but he.
Is INCONSISTENT but i think because the higher stakes game,
It is, GAME six I think indiana, will think, you,
know well we can't send this back to the cardon
(21:53):
For a. Game seven let's close This out. Game six
he'll see a lot more urgency for loose balls, and
tangibles all, that STUFF and I think Karl d towns will,
play well but those silly fouls. Will Continue so, I'm, Sorry, hey.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Mark do You Think hallim burton was passive in a
no show to try to take some Heat Off? ANTHONY
edwards i.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Think.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
SO yeah I think i think that he was conscious
that the next Athletic player pool would Cite ify edwards
is the. Most Overrated albert, is, LIKE hey i haven't
titled to.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Defend here, uh now so let's let's.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Here now obviously you think It's the pacers, going tomorrow but,
you know this is SOMETHING that i think as we
get closer TO The, nba finals which begins on the Fourth,
of july uh.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
The same time as the next.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Exactly if, they can if they could just extend, it
out We'll have giannis playing for is that no matter
who comes out of, THIS series i have a hard
time believing either of them are going to Give the thunder.
A series i don't know that either of them can
win two games Against the thunder IN The.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Nba, FINALS yeah, i mean if you THINK of, i
think especially If the pacers get to the finals Of,
the knicks you know they're the big mark At. The
knicks they haven't been in the finals since. The nineties
but if It Is, tacer's thunder think how full of
drama there Was For spurs nets in two thousand and
three and how competitive. THAT was i think that's WHAT
it's i think that's what it's going. TO be, i think,
(23:20):
you know the separation That the thunder have against the
rest of the league is really night, and day because
it obviously Starts. To shay he's got THE deserved. Mvp
numbers he, also gets, you know The Sag oscar awards
for how he. Draws fouls but they got so many,
wing defenders they got front, Court depth they have a
good secondary Score Of jane williams that knows how to
(23:42):
play on and off. THE ball i beyond complacency and
when they don't. FEEL challenged i don't Think the thunder
have any. Fundamental weakness and even Though the pacers they
got a great passing Point Gland, tyres halbert they got
a lot. Of depth as, you know they got a ten.
Man Rotation the knicks have a four and a half five.
An ROTATION but i Think the thunder they just have
(24:04):
a lot more reinforcements and depth with that Than the pacers.
DO that i won't. Be surprised it's, four games. FIVE
games i think in a, weird way If the knicks
actually gets, THE finals i think the thunder would. Still
WIN but i could See the knicks actually make this,
more competitive only because they got that blue. Collar edge they're,
always scrappy and You Got, jayleen brunson the. Ultimate CLOSER
(24:26):
but i think as it Retains, the pacers it's just
the depth that's going to Prevail And tyres helbert actually
playing to this potential that, Starting, Tomorrow jason, i'll say you,
know what better luck, Next year better luck next month.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
For You, HONUS mark i had my alarm set for
five fifty Five am pacific tomorrow OFFICIAL dot nba.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Dot com that'll tell ME everything i know from my.
Day ahead oh that's what.

Six o'clock you. Got it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
We will see if there Is A frozen envelope sequel
and the meedic FROM, the nba, and hey for all,
this talk we well party. Combetive balance let's get a
big market team. In there so five fifty five is.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Won't find out it's gonna be just Like the avengers

Or robert redford Or Or harrison fork comes on, and
says we need. Your help that's Lot of foster in
his in his house waiting for the. Call going it's

would live on. The farm, I'm sorry i'm the EXTENDER
and i. Gotta GO the nba in the world needs
me to Get the knicks INTO The.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Nba, FINALS yeah, i mean if only the game Was
In new york because it would be a much short
Commute For madison avenue OR the nba Headquarters is, lo
okay but you Don't want indy. On it not a.
Far Flight so i'm sure five fifty Five am, Pacific,
time mike you will find out if the message. Was
delivered how great?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Is that one of the things we'd be kicking around a.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Lot more and, you know it's one of those evergreen
topics in the world of basketball because we always want
to put someone and chisel their face into the your.
Next category and whether It Was anthony edwards getting his
love he's been DEPOSED, the sga and whether folks will
truly embrace him as a face for this league.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Right, NOW yeah i heard the. Saiting yesterday guys have ANOINTED.
TO sga i kid, You. Not jason i'm not saying it's.
The troll you can actually rewind the. TAPE here I
Told steve harmon last week when he was asking who
would be your face of the league? RIGHT now, I
said i don't think that there's. Anyone ready it's got
to be, by committee but the most deserving candidates to
(26:40):
share that. Right now Shag, does ouxander but he's not
good enough to only hold. THE mantel i said it
Should Be jalen brunson because he's, a clutch competitive player
that plays in the. Big market and Even Though anthony
edwards gets a lot, Of shine jalen brunts is more
of a gamer and a lot. More Consistent so i'm
going to even go well more pro nexs than, You
(27:02):
are jason saying that that should Just, be shay it
should he Also.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Be bronson See that mark because he's also.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
THE everyman, i mean look at Look At, jalen brunson.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
The, exact guy And. He's AMERICAN so, i mean, you Know.
Says canadian you have to throw.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That, in no hang, on now hang on, A second
mark expand on that answer More About jalen brunston and
more about how great.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
He is, go, ahead, WELL look i did this Whole
magazine future for when they're talking about how he could
have the potential to be The greatest knicks player of
all time before it was fashionable saying that during, this
postseason and it's not, hyperbole obviously if he wins a
championship and that could. CEMENT it i actually talked to,
His Trainer dave williams a few, weeks ago and, he
(27:41):
said if they if he helps him win, a championship
whether it's this season, or next he's got to be.
Number one and right now he's in the. Top, THREE
internally i still feel him as, number ONE but i
want to respect, the Owner so i'll say he's. TOP three,
i mean this isn't hyperbably, at all because when you
look at Players Like, Carmelo, anthony yeah he's a, great
player but they didn't go deep in the playoffs and,
(28:02):
Then Yeah won't Frazier and, willis reed, they're great but
that's been. The seventies, and yeah everyone On the knicks
loves the nineties Teams With, Patrick Ewing. John starks you
go down. The list they went to two finals and.
They Lost all i'm Saying Is joan brunton has a
chance to collect a lot more jewelry than any of
those nineties Next. Lubiners mark if you want.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
To expand on that, answer, more gohead you can expand.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
On, that Okay, this ja this. Is HILARIOUS when i
was talking to, HIS trainer i, was, asking like what
does he do, to prepare, you know prepare himself, to be,
you know the best clutch player in. The league and
you know they do the cliche shot clock situations, All
that but the other thing that he prepares for is
they have a drill where he basically has a broom
(28:51):
as High as Victor. Woman yama so he's shooting over
brooms that he's throwing. At him so he's used to
having to throw up contested shots. Again centers that's why
he's able to really make a lot of contested shots
over against anyone and. Crunch times So all i'm saying
is you can't cut. Himself short he is not only
the best clutch player in, the league he could also
(29:12):
be the co face of the league starting.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
NEXT season i did that You Get broom Knights Celebrating.
Jayleen boxon, oh yeah d Wait Now. Broom, knight.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yes now because we're innovators here on, The Show mark
JASON and i kick a lot of ideas around of
how do you find the extra juice for.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Game yeah who? Are you who? Are you? You good, you're.
Good bro we'll love more of this game coming up
in a. Few minutes he probably maybe the game of
the Year In Major. League baseball, so far what we've
seen the drama With the dodgers and the.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Now now Not That tanner.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Scott's, in, well well now it gets better because. It's
it it's eight to five with runners at first, and
third and now it's going to be eight, to eight,
you know or a. Uh So mike trout returned a
few days early To the halos. Lineup tonight designated hitter
was supposed to Come, back monday but, they, decided hey
(36:58):
let's bring you, back tonight got a hit one for
FIVES the dh As the angels Beat, the guardians and
he's GOING to dh this weekend before potentially returning to
right field. Next week and we said this a, year
ago and we said it again a few. Months ago
i'm gonna keep saying it because it's the. Right Thing,
ron Washington the angels have to sit Down With mike trout, and,
(37:20):
say dude you're gonna be a designated Hitter right we
can't if you can't play in center field because we
need you in. The lineup it's really not that big
a thing to have you in. Right field you would
rather have one hundred and fifty Games Of mike trout, hitting,
than however maybe sixty or seventy games where he's playing. The,
outfield right the guy has a lot of trouble. Staying.
(37:41):
Healthy right he was out for a bone bruise for twenty,
six GAMES and i get, you know we. Got hurt
he was running the bases a. Little bit you can't
stop that, From, Happening right you're gonna have to. Run
that there's gonna be some sort of of wear and
tear that you have to go through as a. Baseball
player but you really severely cut down the Potential Of
mike trout getting injured and missing games if he's not playing.
(38:03):
The field you cut that. Down, Immensely right you can't
stop it, from happening but you cut it so, far
down and you need him in, the lineup and he's
getting into his early into his. Mid thirties you want
him to hit one hundred and. Fifty, Games right he
hit fifth tonight and he's not ready to go back
and the first time he's hit fifth in fifteen hundred
Games In major league, base calls but not ready to hit. Third,
(38:27):
yet right You see, trout hitting seeing it in the
BOX and i, was like, my goodness he hit. Fifth
tonight but we said it a. Year, ago yeah it's
great to have him, out There and trout in his
heyday was the best all around player in. The game
but you got to keep him in the lineup and.
He can't so it's pretty easy you have that conversation, and,
say hey YOU'RE, a dh and you, know, what honestly
(38:47):
he's been better this year when HE has dhd than
when he's had to play, the outfield whether it's, the whatever,
you know difference he has mentally of playing right field,
versus batting whatever you have to, go through everything just.
Makes sense you want him. Out there baseball is better when,
he's there basically better if he was healthy and a.
Bigger market, but okay we'll deal with. This first he's
(39:07):
got to BE a dh the rest of. The way
that's a you, know what take your glove and send
It to cooperstown because you're not gonna eat anymore because
you're just gonna be ABLE to dh because we got
to make sure that you stay in.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
The.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Line no but that's.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
The thing we've watched it through, the years and with each,
subsequent injury it, is like, all right at, some point
you've got to a degree protect him from himself because
he's not gonna change the way.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
He.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Plays right we've watched this with a number of ballplayers through. The,
years outfielders you had the unfortunate circumstance and whatever went
on with the hamstring diagnosis and Rehabilitation To Ken. Griffy
junr but it robbed us of a. Great outfielder go
back to, My guy Harold bains we tore up. His
knees he was one of the great outfielders of all
time and was projecting that way and then, he well
(39:54):
he WAS a dh for twenty. Years thereafter so you
protect guy and one of The great right every year,
trade deadline we need. A bat Go get Baines. For
trout he could be that guy for a few years
if you can keep him in. The LINEUP and i
get it psychologically you want to be. Out there and
when he was at his peak and the guy covered
(40:16):
a lot, of ground, big arm all of.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
That stuff he's not that. Guy. Anymore now it's the
how do we eke out?
Speaker 4 (40:23):
At bats because you're also looking at the business side, of,
It Right ardi morena lost his Ass When joane antani
went up the five burn money, Signing rendon so you
at least have to have trout on the field because
having a great parking and people bringing sandwiches quickly to
your chairs ain't.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Doing.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
IT man i, Don't, KNOW man i like parking, and
SANDWICHES and i think that goes a long way. With
ME man i try to put. You over is that
gonna make you go see? More games the parking?
Speaker 6 (40:53):
And?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Sandwiches, oh man you know? What is what?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Can we say that on?
Speaker 6 (40:59):
The?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Radio oh? Is? That okay can we?

few moments ago. The first real must watch series of
the year in Major League Baseball coast to coast, and
tonight is living up to everything. The World Series rematch
between the Yankees and the Dodgers. Shoho Tani has two
home runs, Aaron Judge has a home run. The Dodgers
(01:14):
have rallied in the sixth inning at least not the fifth.
For the Yankees. But in the sixth inning, the Dodgers
have rallied. They had four they were chasing a five
to two lead because the Yankees had four home runs
off of Tony Gonsolin. And here they are now one
out and the bases loaded, and the Dodgers lead the
Yankees by the score of six to five. I'm telling you, Uh,
(01:36):
it's everybody talks about how you I hear fans talk
all the time, all the all the diehards go, all
the inter league play and all this stuff that we have.
I don't know, man, is this really something? No no
good series like this? It's absolutely worth it to see
the Yankees and the Dodgers in this kind of game
right now.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But that's the thing, right like there's been for years.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The cheap is a no no, you're get a one
hundred and sixty two games slog that you're going through.
We talked dog Days of August whatever else. Uh for
a lot of cities. That happens a lot earlier. White
Sox Choe. Uh No, things are great on the north side,
Suzuki and that other guy doing some great things.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Uh he who must not arm Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
We're not bringing up Pete no stop, no stop, We'll
get him and just finish finish what you were saying.
We'll get to Pete Crow Armstrong. We'll get to that,
but nothing as far as your Frostburg. The score of
the Dodgers Yankees game is thirteen to twelve. Yeah, I'm
supposed to believe that. And they're in the third inning,
so you don't.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Have as warming up.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Wow, now that would be something sud hear it. I
don't know, headfield and not have it suddenly appear on
the field.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, no, I don't know this playing guitar and center.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, Bertie, I don't know. You want to bring up Rivera.
I think right now is kind of a tough time
to bring up Rivera. But Bertie Williams, Okay, that's fantast
all right, very good.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I mean he was just trying to get him back
on the mound doing what you know. We know he
did well with no problems.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh no, no, absolutely no.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That's yeah. I know.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Folks google the rest of that story.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Just the point being, there's there's a lot of series
that don't matter. There's a lot. It is a television program,
So what are you doing. You're trying to goose the system.
You're trying to get eyeballs, because in doing these games,
you also get to talk about some of the other
big headlines around the sport, maybe some players and teams
flying under the radar that you say, hey, you might
want to take a look at X Y or Z
(03:37):
right Ramirez with Cleveland, the aforementioned PCA in Chicago, and
go on down the line to get a little bit
of a thrust right, Because the NBA is going to
be done soon, the NHL is going to be done soon.
We're gonna have the NBA Draft, and then it's going
to be front and center everything major League Baseball. So
this is one of your, you know, prime moments to
(03:59):
get people fired up. And given the fact that they
have such rich history, and I mean they did a
montage of all the players that had played with both organizations,
and they could have done that for another forty five minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Oh, I mean they started with Willie Randolf. I'm like, yeah,
let's go, and you just keep going. But Dave Winfield
is at the game tonight. He is I think he
got one hit in the eighty one World Series against
the Dodgers, and he asked for the ball. After he
got he was like one for eighteen. This is what
made George Steinberger called Dave Winfield mister may right. He
got one hit in the eighty one series.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I remember him getting to first base asking for the ball, like, hey,
I want my balls my first World Series and dude,
you're like, you're losing the World Series two. You're like,
now one for thirteen in the World Series. Oh, but
give me the ball. Make sure I get the ball.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Jason. He shops and Whole Foods down the street. If
you want to fight him, No, is.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
He really Oh yeah, I gotta go see David.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I need it for my all century really big.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, well he's a huge six there's no When I
was a kid growing up right now, so eighty one,
I'm like ten years old. I remember watching the Yankees
play and seeing Winfield. I remember looking at my dad
and my grandfa, my grandfriend. I would go because I
was a third baseman, right, That's what I played growing up,
And I said, if I was playing third base and
Dave Winfield was up, I'd be scared. And They're like,
(05:14):
why I go, Because I feel like he's gonna he
could take my head off with a line draw. Yeah,
you know you're reacting fast enough. There is nobody I
was more scared of, like for a third basement, than
watching Windfield at back because I felt like he could
hit the ball one hundred and fifty miles an hour
line drives down the line, like he had so much
incredible power. Made me scared. I was like, I don't
(05:36):
want to be at third base when Winfield is up.
I think I think he could really hurt somebody.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I don't know what it would be, like the old
cartoon characters where he would just hit the ball right
through you and then a small hole would pop on
the floor and you'd have a hole in your body.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Hey, I'm fine, Like Foghorn Lake Horton looks down him
it whoa, I'll say, I say the ball went through
my chest. I'll say that's oh I'm not feeling so good.
Oh boy, but.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
We need series with juice. Yeah, you like corn, I'll
say that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Joke. What's that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What's happened that this game?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
You're talking about the biggest game of the year. Yeah,
it's on Apple TV.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Wait, I mean I'm watching it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Folks miss the the opening act. They'll be there for Act.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Two on Fox, This aggression will not stand.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Quiet.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I was giving love to Fox.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, now it is a I mean really, it is
one of those games. And Tim Hill has just gotten
out of the bottom of the sixth inning, uh, leaving
the bases loaded. He gets a double play to end
the inning, yelling into his glove as he goes off
the field by Titan Mike. Wasn't it a great move
by the Yankees to bring him in at the end
of Game one, uh the World Series? I remember when
(06:50):
he came in and shut the door, and all Yankees
fans were glad that. Hey, so glad we brought in Hill,
who was really good, instead of you know, going outside
the box and bringing in the guy who hasn't pitched
a long time. Boy, Tim Hill was the right Too soon,
too soon for that? Too soon?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Are you trying to get all those guys in New
York that that were really upset this week?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Mad at you? No? No, no, all New York. We're
all united behind the Knicks right now, at least for
another day. That then we can go back to our
separate law art rules and and and fights and and
battles out. But we're all united behind the Knicks.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Look, Sandler's at the at the Dodger game tonight. We're
in a nex Jersey. He is, it's it's okay, we're
all united.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
But as he watches, that looked like Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
No, it actually was. He was actually finish off a
basketball game at Vetts Park and he came to He
came to the game here. It's fun.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You know who he plays basketball with a lot though.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Shout him.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
May your guy shout shout him?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He shot remember the Oscars hey Vet's Park at midnight,
We're gonna play. That was a good big And then
he wants somebody goes shout him. He shout, Now, I
will say this about the Yankees, okay, is yes, as
as Harvard just told us. And in the spirit of
Dave Winfield, Aaron Judge lines a shot down the line
(08:08):
for a double. He's at second in the top. I'm
telling the exit velo on that double for Judges one
hundred and nine miles an hour, So I'm telling them.
Rocket Frostburger said, I'm not gonna lie to you when
it comes to this series. I'm not gonna lie you.
Said the nixt We're going to the finals, said we
just gotta win two more games. It has it not
happened yet, it could still just I'm not there's three
(08:31):
teams left in the NBA playoffs where one of them
it can happen. Okay, it's either us or the Pacers. Okay,
it can still happen.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
He's York.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
But I do want to say this about the Yankees
right because it's a it's a special double truth Friday
when I say this. Dodgers. Yeah, look, it's a great
game right now. It's what baseball needs. Dodgers Yankees here
now the team. I mean, even though you can't see it,
we're telling you how it's going.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It's like John Cena, you just have to accept the
greatness even.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If you can't see it.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
When you turn on your direct TV. Instead of just
the DirecTV logo, it's just John Cena doing You can't
see this game, you can't see just his hands waving
in front of his face. How blacked out in this area?
How has no cable company paid him yet to say, hey,
well you do you can't see this game because you
don't have direct TV. Call your local cable company, right?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
How has John Cena not done that made my hat's
a fine question, Budd. You guys, we're like, hey, put
the mayonnaise in with the.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Two cal starkiss. The Yankee scare me right now, regardless
of how tonight goes. Dodgers are winning six', Five This
yankee team scares.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Me.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yes they play in an absolutely craptastic. Division the al
least is the worst division in. Baseball everybody. Stinks just
one problem with the at. Least everybody stinks right. Well
The orioles are starting, Over they're. Terrible The Red sox are,
terrible The Blue jay and the and The rays are five.
Hundred it's. Terrible but this is A yankee team that
(10:07):
really doesn't feel like they're playing well. Yet the only
two players that really feel like they're playing. Well judge
is getting all the, Attention goldschmid is, hitting and you've
had some great starting pitching From Freedom rodin. Right but
outside of, that The yankees still feel like they're at
seventy five. Percent they have so many injuries and guys
that they're hoping to come back or may not come,
(10:28):
back whether It's stanton or or Or, coal and they're
still a top three team In Major League. Baseball they
still have a top three record depending on the. Day
if they win tonight The phillies lose, tonight they're still this.
Good The yankees scare me because you know they're gonna
make whatever move they need at the. Deadline it's not
gonna be something where they go over the top and
spend millions and millions of, dollars but they'll bring in
(10:51):
innings eaters if they. Need they'll bring in whatever position
players by the time we get to the deadline in
another couple of. Months but the fact that The yankees
are still waiting on guys to come back and they
haven't really played to their potential, yet that's really scary
for the rest of. Baseball. MAN i, mean The tigers
have the best, record And tigers are an incredible, story
and they got the pitching and the hitting is much
(11:12):
better than we thought it was gonna, be even they
don't have a lot of name. Players Spencer torkelsen's having
a really good. Year but The yankees really scare me
because The tigers feel like they're playing at the top
level they can play at right like this is this
is the they are peaking right now at the end Of.
May The yankees feel like, yeah we could still turn
things up a little. Bit we're seventy five to eighty,
percent and they're still second best record in THE, al
(11:33):
third best record in. Baseball The yankees really scare. Me
i'm not lying to. You they scare.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Me, YEAH i mean the potential is certainly.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
THERE i, mean we talk about the top of the
rotation you Mentioned Garrett, cole AND i gotta Imagine Brian
cashman's gonna be active as we get close to the
deadline because the back of the rotation has been. Suspect
we talk about the need for all those extra arms
in the pen BECAUSE i also don't anticipate the division
(12:03):
stays to this level of. Drek, right every once in
a while you start seeing a little bit of, Side
like The Red sox played some pretty good ball for a,
stretch and now you Got. Devers seems happy enough as
long as you're asking about what position he's, Playing so that's.
Good The Blue jays man for man like just gross.
(12:24):
Underachievers i'd be curious to go back to the preseason
over under wins totals to see where they're at a
third of the way through the season in terms of
those projections and how far. Off uh the those lines
they are go To. Baltimore one that you scratch your
head based on all the, youth the huge youth movement
(12:46):
and talent that they brought in a couple of moves
to the pitching staff and none of it has worked
to this point to where we already, had you, know
a managerial. Change so, uh maybe that finds a different
level as we get further into the. Season but, yeah
for The, yankees it's Really Brian cashman will Own New
(13:06):
york with one or two big moves because you're gonna
make another run and with your guy flailing no matter
what the record, is If Juan soto continues down this,
path then the poison pens are out for him And
cashman gets to look like the hero of the day,
again which he has not been for a long. Time
they got to The World series last year and that
guy was still getting poison ink everywhere he turned for
(13:29):
something he didn't. Do wait that you know all the
rumors that start shuffling out like The rocks on the
yard And, Shawshank, hey you know what they could have
done at the dead?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Lines was that real or?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
FAKE i want to know if That's reealer, fake because
all of a, sudden you're telling me of all these
deals that could have gone down with there would be.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Prospects is it?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Real is it? Fake Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from
The Fox Sports Radio. Studios The yankee scare, me, Man

And BEYOND longtime nba insider see HIM on tv Here In.
(17:22):
Los angeles check Him Out sports kida. As WELL longtime
Nba insider front Of, The Show. Mark medina he Is

what's your stress level?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
These, days Honestly and Harmon and frostburg don't, believe me
but he's. A liar mark once spot down three, To one,
i'm like you, KNOW what i am going to live
with whatever the, outcome, Is right teams don't come back
from down three. To one it's like five thousand you
know up in like fourteen have. Done IT and i, Get,
that yeah That the pacers did something we haven't SEEN
(17:56):
in nba. History earlier but whatever happens tomorrow, Happens right
like you get down three, to one there's the reason
why you get down three. To one i'm not expecting.
It now if they win Tomorrow and game Seven, Is
monday i'm going to be a lunatic from the end
of the game Tomorrow. Until monday but whatever, happens tomorrow
Just like i'll live, and Die and i'll accept with
Whatever the knicks do at the end of. The game
(18:17):
If It's jalen brunson taking, The shot i'll live with.
The result i'll be able to live with whatever. Happens, Tomorrow,
Wow jason.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I'M surprised i thought you'd be stressed out like YOUR Guy.
Jj reddick just like pouring over, game film all, these
hypotheticals all, the scenarios permutations on do you want to
put all your eggs in one basket of Rooting For
jalen brunton's heroics or, do you in a weird way
want them to flame out because that might mean that
they make massive. ROSTER changes i go all In for
(18:45):
giannis Onto. The kombo there's a lot of different scenarios
HERE that i was curious what you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Thought, about well, NUMBER one i will, Say this i've
had a better YEAR Than, Jj reddick so that's who.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
A.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Few continues, uh no but.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Number. Two yeah, of course on the other side, of
It it's GIANNIS or kd or whatever playmaking Forward the
knicks are going. To get that's a better Fit Than Karl. Anthony,
Towns yeah i'm all right say this Is typical. Knicks, Fan,
markmen hey we're In the we're In The Eastern, conference
Finals and i'm also thinking what are we gonna do for? Next? Year,
right wait do anythings? Come out what are we gonna do?
Speaker 7 (19:21):
NEXT year i will not let You Slander. Carlton towns
his numbers were so Impressive in game five Along With
jalen brunson that people were saying that that was the
first time a duo had that kind of Production Since
chaquille Hill And. Kobe BRYANT so i think he should
be all In on kat and assume that he'll be
a clutch fourth quarter score and he won't commit. Silly.
(19:43):
FOULS yeah i.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Was, Gonna say shilly falls and moving his feet, on
defense something we'd chronicled on this program many.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Many.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Times mark and if it does come to fruition and
some trade happens where he goes Back to Milwaukee and
yanna shows Up In. New YORK then i, give up
because why would you ever make? That?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Deal, dearie hey the consolation If the skiffs cat away
is an egg gets a, foul trouble you have more
time for Pressure petricks achua to come off.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The bench, oh, good listen do YOU think i? Haven't?
Workshopped hey will the? Money work If It's Karl anthony
towns And mcal Bridges? FOR yannis i know that they are,
Good man it's.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
All good so does the math work on? Your side?
DOESN'T say i Think that knicks would have to throw
in even more first round picks than they got For,
McHale BRIDGES and i think what they traded five. For,
him yeah we don't have any, you, Can, ACTUALLY jason
i did look. It up they do have two first
round picks for twenty, twenty six one top, ten protected
(20:45):
the other, all in so you know they do have
some cache to. Work with it's just three less than
what they use for The mchal. Bridges, trupe yeah it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
All, right look it'll bring you honest in. Or something
it's it's gonna, Be, FINE mark.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I don't care whether his, right arm but not, as well,
All right now.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Before we Get, TO giannis i ask you your Gut tomorrow,
Game Six, knicks pacers what? Happens, Tomorrow, WOW.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Jason i hope you're not mad, At ME but i
think it's going to Be the pacers here because, HOME
court i Know the knicker they're going to bring the.
Competitive intensity one thing That the knicks deserve a lot
of credit for is. They're gamers, They're resilient john brunts and.
Clutch player but what we've Seen With tyree thalerbert is
when he, feels challenged he actually plays up to. HIS
potential a lot of times he doesn't feel. That pressure
(21:32):
you see what he Had in. Game, FIVE now i
know the next played, him aggressively they got some, double
teams but you know we've seen kind of this up
and down play throughout. The postseason not so MUCH where
i agree with the athletic. Full saint, he's overrated but he.
Is INCONSISTENT but i think because the higher stakes game,
It is, GAME six I think indiana, will think, you,
know well we can't send this back to the cardon
(21:53):
For a. Game seven let's close This out. Game six
he'll see a lot more urgency for loose balls, and
tangibles all, that STUFF and I think Karl d towns will,
play well but those silly fouls. Will Continue so, I'm, Sorry, hey.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Mark do You Think hallim burton was passive in a
no show to try to take some Heat Off? ANTHONY
edwards i.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Think.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
SO yeah I think i think that he was conscious
that the next Athletic player pool would Cite ify edwards
is the. Most Overrated albert, is, LIKE hey i haven't
titled to.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Defend here, uh now so let's let's.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Here now obviously you think It's the pacers, going tomorrow but,
you know this is SOMETHING that i think as we
get closer TO The, nba finals which begins on the Fourth,
of july uh.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
The same time as the next.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Exactly if, they can if they could just extend, it
out We'll have giannis playing for is that no matter
who comes out of, THIS series i have a hard
time believing either of them are going to Give the thunder.
A series i don't know that either of them can
win two games Against the thunder IN The.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Nba, FINALS yeah, i mean if you THINK of, i
think especially If the pacers get to the finals Of,
the knicks you know they're the big mark At. The
knicks they haven't been in the finals since. The nineties
but if It Is, tacer's thunder think how full of
drama there Was For spurs nets in two thousand and
three and how competitive. THAT was i think that's WHAT
it's i think that's what it's going. TO be, i think,
(23:20):
you know the separation That the thunder have against the
rest of the league is really night, and day because
it obviously Starts. To shay he's got THE deserved. Mvp
numbers he, also gets, you know The Sag oscar awards
for how he. Draws fouls but they got so many,
wing defenders they got front, Court depth they have a
good secondary Score Of jane williams that knows how to
(23:42):
play on and off. THE ball i beyond complacency and
when they don't. FEEL challenged i don't Think the thunder
have any. Fundamental weakness and even Though the pacers they
got a great passing Point Gland, tyres halbert they got
a lot. Of depth as, you know they got a ten.
Man Rotation the knicks have a four and a half five.
An ROTATION but i Think the thunder they just have
(24:04):
a lot more reinforcements and depth with that Than the pacers.
DO that i won't. Be surprised it's, four games. FIVE
games i think in a, weird way If the knicks
actually gets, THE finals i think the thunder would. Still
WIN but i could See the knicks actually make this,
more competitive only because they got that blue. Collar edge they're,
always scrappy and You Got, jayleen brunson the. Ultimate CLOSER
(24:26):
but i think as it Retains, the pacers it's just
the depth that's going to Prevail And tyres helbert actually
playing to this potential that, Starting, Tomorrow jason, i'll say you,
know what better luck, Next year better luck next month.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
For You, HONUS mark i had my alarm set for
five fifty Five am pacific tomorrow OFFICIAL dot nba.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Dot com that'll tell ME everything i know from my.
Day ahead oh that's what.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
You learn who the officials are right.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Six o'clock you. Got it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
We will see if there Is A frozen envelope sequel
and the meedic FROM, the nba, and hey for all,
this talk we well party. Combetive balance let's get a
big market team. In there so five fifty five is.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Won't find out it's gonna be just Like the avengers
when they're sitting In the avengers Headquarters And william Hurd
Or robert redford Or Or harrison fork comes on, and
says we need. Your help that's Lot of foster in
his in his house waiting for the. Call going it's
gonna Come In because i'm. The extender they're gonna call
me and tell me they, need ME and i gotta
(25:27):
get on. A Plane, but scott you said you. Would
stay you would, stay, here forever we, would build we
would live on. The farm, I'm sorry i'm the EXTENDER
and i. Gotta GO the nba in the world needs
me to Get the knicks INTO The.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Nba, FINALS yeah, i mean if only the game Was
In new york because it would be a much short
Commute For madison avenue OR the nba Headquarters is, lo
okay but you Don't want indy. On it not a.
Far Flight so i'm sure five fifty Five am, Pacific,
time mike you will find out if the message. Was
delivered how great?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Is that one of the things we'd be kicking around a.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Lot more and, you know it's one of those evergreen
topics in the world of basketball because we always want
to put someone and chisel their face into the your.
Next category and whether It Was anthony edwards getting his
love he's been DEPOSED, the sga and whether folks will
truly embrace him as a face for this league.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Right, NOW yeah i heard the. Saiting yesterday guys have ANOINTED.
TO sga i kid, You. Not jason i'm not saying it's.
The troll you can actually rewind the. TAPE here I
Told steve harmon last week when he was asking who
would be your face of the league? RIGHT now, I
said i don't think that there's. Anyone ready it's got
to be, by committee but the most deserving candidates to
(26:40):
share that. Right now Shag, does ouxander but he's not
good enough to only hold. THE mantel i said it
Should Be jalen brunson because he's, a clutch competitive player
that plays in the. Big market and Even Though anthony
edwards gets a lot, Of shine jalen brunts is more
of a gamer and a lot. More Consistent so i'm
going to even go well more pro nexs than, You
(27:02):
are jason saying that that should Just, be shay it
should he Also.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Be bronson See that mark because he's also.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
THE everyman, i mean look at Look At, jalen brunson.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
The, exact guy And. He's AMERICAN so, i mean, you Know.
Says canadian you have to throw.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That, in no hang, on now hang on, A second
mark expand on that answer More About jalen brunston and
more about how great.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
He is, go, ahead, WELL look i did this Whole
magazine future for when they're talking about how he could
have the potential to be The greatest knicks player of
all time before it was fashionable saying that during, this
postseason and it's not, hyperbole obviously if he wins a
championship and that could. CEMENT it i actually talked to,
His Trainer dave williams a few, weeks ago and, he
(27:41):
said if they if he helps him win, a championship
whether it's this season, or next he's got to be.
Number one and right now he's in the. Top, THREE
internally i still feel him as, number ONE but i
want to respect, the Owner so i'll say he's. TOP three,
i mean this isn't hyperbably, at all because when you
look at Players Like, Carmelo, anthony yeah he's a, great
player but they didn't go deep in the playoffs and,
(28:02):
Then Yeah won't Frazier and, willis reed, they're great but
that's been. The seventies, and yeah everyone On the knicks
loves the nineties Teams With, Patrick Ewing. John starks you
go down. The list they went to two finals and.
They Lost all i'm Saying Is joan brunton has a
chance to collect a lot more jewelry than any of
those nineties Next. Lubiners mark if you want.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
To expand on that, answer, more gohead you can expand.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
On, that Okay, this ja this. Is HILARIOUS when i
was talking to, HIS trainer i, was, asking like what
does he do, to prepare, you know prepare himself, to be,
you know the best clutch player in. The league and
you know they do the cliche shot clock situations, All
that but the other thing that he prepares for is
they have a drill where he basically has a broom
(28:51):
as High as Victor. Woman yama so he's shooting over
brooms that he's throwing. At him so he's used to
having to throw up contested shots. Again centers that's why
he's able to really make a lot of contested shots
over against anyone and. Crunch times So all i'm saying
is you can't cut. Himself short he is not only
the best clutch player in, the league he could also
(29:12):
be the co face of the league starting.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
NEXT season i did that You Get broom Knights Celebrating.
Jayleen boxon, oh yeah d Wait Now. Broom, knight.

Good bro we'll love more of this game coming up

the Year In Major. League baseball, so far what we've
seen the drama With the dodgers and the.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Now now Not That tanner.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Scott's, in, well well now it gets better because. It's
it it's eight to five with runners at first, and
third and now it's going to be eight, to eight,
you know or a. Uh So mike trout returned a
few days early To the halos. Lineup tonight designated hitter
was supposed to Come, back monday but, they, decided hey
(36:58):
let's bring you, back tonight got a hit one for
FIVES the dh As the angels Beat, the guardians and
he's GOING to dh this weekend before potentially returning to
right field. Next week and we said this a, year
ago and we said it again a few. Months ago
i'm gonna keep saying it because it's the. Right Thing,
ron Washington the angels have to sit Down With mike trout, and,
(37:20):
say dude you're gonna be a designated Hitter right we
can't if you can't play in center field because we
need you in. The lineup it's really not that big
a thing to have you in. Right field you would
rather have one hundred and fifty Games Of mike trout, hitting,
than however maybe sixty or seventy games where he's playing. The,
outfield right the guy has a lot of trouble. Staying.
(37:41):
Healthy right he was out for a bone bruise for twenty,
six GAMES and i get, you know we. Got hurt
he was running the bases a. Little bit you can't
stop that, From, Happening right you're gonna have to. Run
that there's gonna be some sort of of wear and
tear that you have to go through as a. Baseball
player but you really severely cut down the Potential Of
mike trout getting injured and missing games if he's not playing.
(38:03):
The field you cut that. Down, Immensely right you can't
stop it, from happening but you cut it so, far
down and you need him in, the lineup and he's
getting into his early into his. Mid thirties you want
him to hit one hundred and. Fifty, Games right he
hit fifth tonight and he's not ready to go back
and the first time he's hit fifth in fifteen hundred
Games In major league, base calls but not ready to hit. Third,
(38:27):
yet right You see, trout hitting seeing it in the
BOX and i, was like, my goodness he hit. Fifth
tonight but we said it a. Year, ago yeah it's
great to have him, out There and trout in his
heyday was the best all around player in. The game
but you got to keep him in the lineup and.
He can't so it's pretty easy you have that conversation, and,
say hey YOU'RE, a dh and you, know, what honestly
(38:47):
he's been better this year when HE has dhd than
when he's had to play, the outfield whether it's, the whatever,
you know difference he has mentally of playing right field,
versus batting whatever you have to, go through everything just.
Makes sense you want him. Out there baseball is better when,
he's there basically better if he was healthy and a.
Bigger market, but okay we'll deal with. This first he's
(39:07):
got to BE a dh the rest of. The way
that's a you, know what take your glove and send
It to cooperstown because you're not gonna eat anymore because
you're just gonna be ABLE to dh because we got
to make sure that you stay in.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
The.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Line no but that's.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
The thing we've watched it through, the years and with each,
subsequent injury it, is like, all right at, some point
you've got to a degree protect him from himself because
he's not gonna change the way.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
He.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Plays right we've watched this with a number of ballplayers through. The,
years outfielders you had the unfortunate circumstance and whatever went
on with the hamstring diagnosis and Rehabilitation To Ken. Griffy
junr but it robbed us of a. Great outfielder go
back to, My guy Harold bains we tore up. His
knees he was one of the great outfielders of all
time and was projecting that way and then, he well
(39:54):
he WAS a dh for twenty. Years thereafter so you
protect guy and one of The great right every year,
trade deadline we need. A bat Go get Baines. For
trout he could be that guy for a few years
if you can keep him in. The LINEUP and i
get it psychologically you want to be. Out there and
when he was at his peak and the guy covered
(40:16):
a lot, of ground, big arm all of.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
That stuff he's not that. Guy. Anymore now it's the
how do we eke out?
Speaker 4 (40:23):
At bats because you're also looking at the business side, of,
It Right ardi morena lost his Ass When joane antani
went up the five burn money, Signing rendon so you
at least have to have trout on the field because
having a great parking and people bringing sandwiches quickly to
your chairs ain't.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Doing.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
IT man i, Don't, KNOW man i like parking, and
SANDWICHES and i think that goes a long way. With
ME man i try to put. You over is that
gonna make you go see? More games the parking?
Speaker 6 (40:53):
And?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Sandwiches, oh man you know? What is what?
Speaker 2 (40:56):

Speaker 3 (40:59):

Speaker 1 (40:59):
