you'll find today's show and the best of version posted
right after we get off the air. Cal when you're
going to the Dodgers hosting the New York Yankees, or
have been red hot and actually them and the Tigers
(01:23):
have the same amount of losses. The Tigers have two
more wins have played two more games in the Yankees,
but they're tied in the lost column, which is, you
know what you look at when you're comparing teams, the
lost column. But anyway, they played the Dodgers first time
since the World Series. Right, the Dodgers won the World Series,
Yankees loss. They hadn't met together in the World Series
(01:45):
since nineteen eighty one. It was great for baseball until
the series started and then it just didn't materialize. Dodgers
wind up winning it. It could have been a great series,
right six or seven had the Yankees held on to
that nothing lead, and but they disintegrated, lost that game
and ultimately lost the World Series. But I'm gonna say this, Kelvin,
(02:09):
as we are about a third of the way through
the season, which is unbelievable, right, like we're about the
June almost a third.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Of the way through. I know, it's kind of crazy,
it is.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And if you look at it, the Dodgers started the
season with the signings and the money they spend the offseason,
and we thought they were gonna be the Beatles?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Am I right or wrong on that?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Like they were supposed to be, Like, oh my god,
look at all the pitching they have look at their lineup,
look at what they did last year. How are you
gonna stop this juggernaut? And then as the Dodgers have
had happen injuries to their pitching is remember they didn't
have pitching last year. And now I'm looking at this
team and the Yankees have injured, have had injuries as well.
(02:58):
They lost their age Garrett Cole to start the season.
And the pitch that all this year, yep Stroman was heard.
A couple other people are heard. Uh, there their rookie
of the year pitcher, Luis Heal, Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
He got heard. He hasn't pitched all year.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But somehow the Yankees are still there and playing really,
really good baseball. When I look at these two teams,
if I had to pick and say which team is
going to return to the World Series a third of
the way in, I'm picking the.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
New York Yankees and not the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So many things just havn't gone right. And history is
against who kelvin, Is it against the Dodgers or the Yankees?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, crazily, it's against the Dodgers in baseball for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And that and I'm saying with all the things that
have happened, all the things that have to get right
right itself. We're looking at Mookie Betts, who was sick
you remember to start the season, kind of turned it around,
but he hasn't been himself this year.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Has he not playing great? Playing all right?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And the Dodgers, despite it, we had the number in
the last two months, they have not played.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
They've played under five.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Hundred ball, which is incredible when you think of that
lineup and what we were expecting. Whereas the Yankees have
been unbelievable when you think no John Carlos Stanton, who
is unbelievable right in the postseason for them, they lost
Juan Soto right, who had a great year for the
Yankees in the Bronx correct, right, and yet they haven't
(04:43):
missed a beat because Aaron Judges playing out of his
mind and they're going to start getting pieces back as
well and pitchers back. That's why I would pick right
now the Yankees over the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I mean, you know, it's he's not a crazy pick.
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Right now with the Yankees, what they're able to do
a couple of things to add too, I mean, they're
playing some great baseball right now.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
We know, it's a long season. We're sitting here. It's
you know, headed the b June here in a day
or two. They're nine and one in their last ten games, right,
They got a lot of good things going for them.
And if another thing I would look at if I
were them, I would say, man, look at our run differential.
They're plus one hundred and thirteen right now.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's huge.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You're looking The Dodgers are at a plus sixty five.
So a lot of these Dodger games are obviously much closer,
and the Dodgers the last ten are playing five hundred baseball.
But here's the scary part to me with the Dodgers.
I think some of the guys who we've mentioned aren't
even playing their best baseball yet, and yet they find
themselves thirty four and twenty two right, a couple of
(05:44):
games up on the padres in the division and looking
at to be prime real estate. As the season goes by,
and you start to get that pitching, and you start
to get Mookie Bets feeling even better and playing even better,
and you start to get Shohey, who is actually playing
performing better right now than hitting wise in last season
at this pace, but not.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
For Darby exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Not production wise because he's not getting those that bottom
of that lineup isn't getting on. So to me, as
they start to get guys back, you just you got
Edmond back.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now he's been back for about a week or so.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
As they get guys healthy, to me, they are the
ones who say we have that mental edge on a
team on several teams, like the Padres, but also like
the Yankees. And I think to me as they start
to go back, last season was so big for the
Dodgers because they were over able to overcome things that
have historically, you know, hindered them, right, the injuries. Oh man,
(06:39):
starting pitching is bad, Well, they're not gonna go anywhere. Well,
they say starting pitching ain't great, but danget, these bullpen
games are gonna get us some wins and some w's
and they did. You had guys start to exercise their
demons in the postseason. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, who were
terrible the year before, Freddie Freeman has an all world
What an amazing postseason run. You saw Edmund start to
become one of their best players, so much so that
(07:00):
they're able to get rid of CT three who have
been a staple for a decade. So I think they
have good will, good mojo, and they feel like they've
exercised some demons that as they move forward, get pieces back.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't think they're scared of anybody.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I think that for the first time since me being
around this team, I think they actually kind of have
a little little you know, a.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Little swagger and walk like a little you know, we're.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Supposed to do this, whereas previously I felt like, we
know we're a good team, and we just really hope
we can get it done.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We really hope we can get it done. And now
shoot a couple of rings.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Since twenty twenty, the way they do it, I was
blown away with them finally talking smack and talking trash,
and I think they have a something, a little edge
to them that I had not seen with this team.
But again, the Yankees are performing very well, and big
shout out to Aaron Judge who didn't take a step.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Back after then Jan Soda left, who has been over.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Ready not just only a home run hitter, and he
is hitting over four hundred, which is crazy right right now,
and so I credit him for not having a falloup
because you know, this too. Rop Sometime in sports, especially
in the NFL, you get a team that goes to
the Super Bowl and loses, and we'll be right back
next year.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
No, they won't. They barely make the postseason.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And that happens in baseball at times too, where your
team who was really good, got really deep, made a
great playoff run, they don't bounce back.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The Texas Rangers didn't go to the World they won
the World Series two years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They didn't go last year to exactly, and it happened.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So credit both teams for still being a top of
their divisions and being the better teams in baseball so
that they have a chance. And if you're the MLB,
you're drooling what I wouldn't do to get this lineup
like this matchup again. You know you didn't get it
since nineteen eighty one. Now you had it last year.
It was phenomenal. The whole postseason was great form LB,
and then the World Series was great too, and now
(08:49):
if you can get it again. So but I credit
both teams for showing up again. And if you're the Yankees,
you didn't flounder. We performed horribly. We lost Cole, we
lost Soto, and you think they could just you and
no standing all year, no standing all year. They could
have taken a step back. They haven't. And then again
to Dodgers for not resting on their laurels and say
all we wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Maybe we good and good and falling off. But I'm
gonna get the.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Slight answer to the Dodgers because I feel like there's
a mental age that they have. But again, both teams
have been fantastic. But I'm going with the Dodgers for
the last six seven years, the success that they had,
including a two World Series titles.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Here's the reason I think the Dodgers are in the
toughest position as well.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That that that division.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That division, there you go, and I'm gonna go there
because you got three other teams that are good.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay, So you're gonna go through the garnlet all year.
This is a runaway. You might not win the division, right,
that's possible. You might not win the division where coming
into the year, right in, somebody the Giants or or
Padres or somebody else could win the division. And then
here's the other thing. So so, and then the Yankees
on the flip side, their division is not good, like
(09:59):
the Divisi is not good. And the Baltimore Oriols, who
won like ninety one games last year, they were in
last place. They're terrible, Like the whole thing fell apart.
So they were like a rival for the Yankees right
in the division. They're not there. Boston started out pretty good.
They've like kind of middle of the road, uh Toronto,
(10:20):
like like I'm just saying, like the Yankees have a
better road or path in the al least.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And here's the other one.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Agree with that now that that's why I that's how
I knew you were going there, because I ain't gonna lie.
I was kind of looking at that and I said,
I mean, you got a team and the Padres, who
are ticked off of the Dodgers, right, they had a
last year and beat and they've done that before, and
so you know, I had some animosity there.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They want to get back.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And then the Giants, who are you know, poor performing
admirably not great, but they're you know, they're putting up
a solid season for them, and uh so nobody.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Was expecting anything from the Giants.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, and the the Cardinals, I'm sorry, not the Cardinals,
but the Diamondbacks. D Backs were playing better, and now
they've kind of fallen off of the last two three
weeks because they were actually looking pretty solid themselves. And
what the heck are the Colorado Rockies by the way,
nine and forty seven awful?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I know, all the way, but that's how if you've
got a division with four good teams, right, somebody's got
to take the brunt of it. And it's the Rockies.
Last thing, just Yankees pitching. And this is the thing,
losing your age, losing the Rookie of the year and
all that you ready, Yankee starting picture pitchers have posted
a major League leading two point seven zero eer RA
(11:31):
in their last thirty eight starts since April fourteenth. Here's
the kicker, Calvin Rilly uh huh, allowing one or zero
earned runs in twenty of those thirty eight starts. In
more than half, the starters have allowed one or zero
(11:54):
earn runs.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's that's an.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Unbelievable believe That sounds like the Dodgers pitchers a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But they still losing.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Remember yeah, right, Maror Pitts is like, man, I'm giving
up maybe maybe two runs and we can can't Wales,
I can't win.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So no, but I told you.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I'm told the winners are gonna be me and you
and all our good listeners right now. If we get
Yankees Dodgers again, come on, man, pray to the baseball guys.
Rob you got a Hall of Fame vote that means
you got a Hall of You got a bat phone
to them, a little red phone.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You can pick up town the baseball guys. Make it
happen again. You know I can't do that. I would
be great though, for baseball.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All right, let's do this eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven, seven nine nine.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Which team is closer to a second consecutive World Series birth?
Is it the Dodgers who won last year or the
Yankees who lost last year?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):

All right, Rob, we're talking about Yankees or the Dodgers.
Who's more likely to win it all?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Again?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I say Dodgers. You say Yankees? What says the people
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Who we got?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Let's go to Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What's up? Dre?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yes to Yankees and Dodgers tonight ten pm Eastern.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
How you doing? Thanks for taking a call. Love this
marquee matchup to heavyweight going total. So I gotta say
the raiser then, but I'm gonna go with the Dodgers
based off the bet. I just feel their rosters a
little bit better, So Ay Otani versus Aaron Judge. I'm
giving a slight advantage of show A because of how
we can impact the game from the offensive end as
well as as a pitcher. You know. So I just
(14:25):
think he's two teams. You know, they've proven it. These
are the two again heavyweight top in terms of spending.
You know, they're they're going for that World Series. I
do feel though the Dodgers' rosters a little bit better.
So even though I'm from the Tried State area, born
in the Great State of New Jersey, culturally I lean
towards the Yankees, but in terms of the roster, I.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Gotta go to Dodgors.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But Dray did you go? All right?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But the only thing is I'm saying is they got
a lot of people in jured. You gotta hopefully get
those back. And what's unbelievable to me is like the
emergence of Max Freed, right, the Yankees are t and
then one in games that he started, you lose your
ace and you don't fall off. I think that shows
a lot about the Yankees, is that they didn't fall
(15:09):
off losing their ace.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
One hundred, you know, and they're playing better. Yeah, So
I again, I think I think it's quite close. I'm
not saying that it's a landslide. They didn't edge him
out last year in the World Series. Uh, but until
the Yankees can prove it for me, I'm gonna I'm
gonna lean towards the Dodgers. But hey, go Brons Bombers,
bring back another World Series. Thanks, thanks taking a call.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All right, thank you? And uh we got good weather.
You got good weather to go, don't you tonight?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, well they'll be good once as the sun keeps
going down, because brother, you know, today was really hot
out here in La hotter than normal, hotter than it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Will be the rest of the week.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So by the time I actually get out there, you know,
obviously this show goes to the game's start, so I'll
jet out. I'll get there probably third fourth inning, whatever third.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Is, fourth and then leaving the sixth or seven. Tight. No,
I'm not gonna leave that. You will stay in the
whole game.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean, obviously depends on the on the score
and whatever ten to one started eight them out, you
know what I mean. But uh, probably grab grab a
bite afterwards with a homie or too, so you know
how it is, man, You know, I was with my
babies all last weekend. Mommy was out of town. So
just get out your little fresh air, get out man,
have a good time.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So yeah, I'm looking forward to actually going out tomorrow.
And both games are national games, actually Saturday for on
Fox and then Sunday four o'clock start out here on
the West Coast because it's Sunday Night baseball, which makes
sense on both. Right, if you're Fox, you want the
Yankees and Dodgers, and on Sunday Night Baseball you want
Yankees and Dodgers. So they got evening games on both
(16:42):
so it'll just be interesting to see those guys. And
already Mookie Betts is not n ot playing tonight.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah I saw that. Yeah, so that's a bull.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And you mentioned earlier he's not having a bad season
if for most basements for him, he is, but for
him it is down.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The batan average is down.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
We're you know, maybe thirty points from where you would
normally want it to be for him, home runs maybe
you know, handfull shy, what do you want.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
After he got over the illness, you remember he was
off to a hot start.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yep, yep, yep, And so he's slowing down a little bit,
but uh, Freddie Freeman has been good, has been good.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I mean, you know what's incredible. Look, I want to
say this to you. Aaron Judge had that terrible error
where he took his eye off the.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Ball that led to that big five inning giving up
that you know, uh five runs to the Dodgers, you remember,
right in Game five, and.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
They're watching it with you, and guess what, He's had
such a great season.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
No one's talking about it, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Like, yeah, like, seriously, he gotta, he gotta, he gotta
pass on it because he what are we talking about?
He's about in four hundred, it's almost June. I'm serious, Like,
it's unbelievable the way that he's come back from that.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And that's a great credit to him, a great point,
rob because most naturally all of us are looking for
it's a phrase call for those who you know aren't
familiar with this called confirmation bias. And let's say you
just for some reason didn't like Aaron Judge, you know
what I mean? And now you've got your thing you
can always point to you. And if he had that
(18:12):
blundering Game five and came back was batting two sixty down,
five six home runs, and normal you would be like,
see man told he's washed, it's over, it's a rat.
But he's comeback, bounced back and has been better, and
that that's a big time credit for him, because that
could have been one of those moments, you know, and
I do think what also saved him rob was that
(18:35):
wasn't the singular play.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
No, no, no, but it was a big It was
the start that was his first start error ever in
the Think about that and the World Series game on
an easy pop up, crazy, think about it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Just he's not a bad field. It wasn't even hard.
It wasn't a hard.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
He took his eye off of it for a millie second.
And that's what the first when you're playing ball was
first in the coach, don't take your eye exactly. Unbelievable,
all right, Yeah, so but hopefully it's a good man.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Hopefully we get you know, at least two of the
three games are really good, really competitive.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Obviously can't guess all three will be. And here's Mookie Betts.
I got the numbers fifty four, yeah, yeah, yeah, two.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Fifty two, eighty nine last year, three seven, the year
before he has thirty one RBIs. He had seventy five
last year. Uh, and he had one hundred and seven
two years ago.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
So it's it's it's it's not terrible, but it ain't great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, he might be sneaking on some random last pig
all star for another guy, you know what I mean,
But for Mookie standard, MVP caliber standard, he's definitely down.
All right on the way, Uh, Anthony Davis says, something
that's got your panties all in the bunch. We gotta
talk about that, both pair and a bunch.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I want you to.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Ah a couple, but right now we gotta get you. Steve,
the Segre is gonna tell you what's training, what's up?

Speaker 4 (20:07):
All right, Steve, Hey, have a great weekend, Steve, Thank you.
Man on the way, We got last call coming up
a little bit, but right now Stia couple Robin Kelvin
on a funky flashback Friday and Rob Man both pair
of pennies under bunch right now with what Ady had
to say about NIO.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Rob G. Can you set the table for us please?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Rob, I have no promise in the table for you
dinner for it goes on the left. Yes, Anthony Davis
has been making some media rounds, very limited, not a lot,
but he has a new brand partnership with some moisturizing cream.
You don't care about it, that's not what's important. What
is important.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And instead of the advertising that he's rubbing it in
on a college players, how's that?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yes, that is correct. The teas right there.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
And most recently he sat down with Sports Illustrated and
during their conversation and came up and here's what ad
said about nil in college sports. It's tough because obviously
they didn't have it when I was in college. It
kind of takes away from the game a little bit because,
and I'm not hating it, takes away from the integrity
(21:15):
in the sense of players are only going to certain
schools because of the money. He continues, college basketball is
still competitive, but the recruitment of it has kind of
gotten a little wacky, especially when you consider that guys
can leave and enter the portal and go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's just a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm not hating, but I'm hating ad stop it and
the blue blood's Kelvin, it was not nil or was
under the table money? Come on, man, stop it a
d how much money did you take?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm just asking. I'm not accusing you of anything.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Colin Pari slip you any money and your sneakers, Kelvin,
any money on the side in a bag on the
side of the road, Go drive up to five.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
There's a be a bag laying there. Do you know
what I'm saying? Come on, man, like, don't be holier
than now.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And the integrity of the game and coaches getting money
and players getting money. Come on, I'm not gonna believe
for one second that there was some integrity in college
basketball and all the blue bloods did it fair and square.
That's how we got all players. It's all fair and square.
No money exchange hands.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Kelvin?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Is he is?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
He not ridiculous? Listen in technically know what was going
We know what was going on with Rick Potino. Right,
Let's let's let's not overly talk about integrity. Here's what
I think he meant to say, because he didn't mean intech.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Dorms.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Right, we know shady stuff been going on for years.
We know college football players basketball and get an envelope.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Hey, how you doing great game? Pat?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Pat, there's an envelope in your jacket with a little
bit of money in there. We know those parents been
in the houses and cars. Now it's out in the open.
We know about it now. So here's what I would
I would rewrite this retell him if I was his buddy,
to say, this is what you meant, ad he meant
the continuity. Rob Parker is going meaning the things you
(23:17):
can depend on. Right, you go to this school and
you stick around, you play two, three, four years.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
He was a one and done guy. What what what
I know?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
But I'm thinking he's meaning, you know, I just think
he's meaning the tradition of kind of how we had
certain the rivalries, if you will, the teaming.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Rob g just I hear what you're saying. You're helping him.
That's not what he said, because he's talking about ni
Yl right and and and Colin Parry, his coach who
also had wins vacated at U mass in Memphis for Okay,
So I'm just saying, when you talk about that, I
(23:56):
just got to push back and say A. D.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
What are you talking about, because.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's what that's why I think he's talking about the
more so we got guys leaving teams. They're not sticking
with teams. There's no continuity. You don't know the teams.
They're flopping or going here to transfer here instead of
staying with such and such school U C l A.
I'm gonna leave because now any mody even be a
lesser school. But they offered me two fifty. UCLA's only
(24:22):
giving me one hundred and twenty. And I think that's
what he's talking about, not so much that they're getting
paid that they're just doing anything for the money. I'll
go to this lesser school because they're paying me more.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
That's what kids did before when they were given and
sending You know how many people that sent FedEx boxes
full of cash for their families. And I mean, come on,
My point is there were people even How did he
wind up at Oregon? Remember the pipeline from Detroit to Oregon?
Do you remember that?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Oh? No, listen, I know that he's they just from
Detroit to Oregon?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh what?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
What? What's in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is it the night?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Is it Nike? And is it Nike?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I'm just saying, like, seriously, yeah, and that and only
other thing I can think of, too, is you're getting
guys sticking around who are twenty four, twenty five, twenty six.
Oh you know, they had a COVID year, they get
an extra year, they got a graduate degree year. And
these dudes, Man, I'm telling you this past March madness.
I've said it before. I'm not convinced. I didn't go
(25:20):
to high school with some of those guys. I mean,
I'm like, I swear, dude, was that problem with me?
Like this is absolutely crazy. So but he's naive if
he thinks there's been high integrity for decades.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
If he's naive, if he thinks this is new. That's
what I'm saying. It's just that we know it and
we can see it now, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's just out front and we're all seeing it now
and we're all fully aware of it. So that's, uh,
that's the only thing I can think of. What you know,
what he's trying to I was trying to. I was
trying to shoot him some bail. But I mean, that's
the best I could come up with.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Rob g jump in.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Do you think when ad made the common because I'm
agree with you guys, this does not make a whole
lot of sense to me. Do you think his issue
is not actually with nil and really it is with
the transfer portal?
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Because the idea of whether you are one and done
or not, you're committing to that school. I'm going to
stay at that school for at least one season and
then we'll see what happens. Nowadays, you can transfer after
six games if you want to, you know, like you can.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
There's there's the whole you talk about, Ni l It's
about money, right, And he mentioned.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Him saying is that do you think that when he's
really upset because he mentioned, you know, you got to
recruit a player and you got to continue to recruit
him and that kind of thing. And Nick Saban has
said the same thing, Kirby Smart, like is his issue
not necessarily with the guys getting money and the nil.
The issue is that what the loyalty of the transfer portal?
Like I'm trying to help him out, like it's like, but.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Even even then where people are critical, coaches walk out
on players all the time.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Kelvin, right, you ain't lying about that recruit you all.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
This and that, and then they walk out on you like,
oh I got a better job.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
And that's what I'm trying to say, Like what what loyalty?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I don't even know for players to say that players
aren't loyal and this and like what coaches have done
to them don't I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
And that's one thing I've said for even before the
NIL really took off, was I was saying for years
that coaches will sit there, look parents in the face.
I'm gonna be there for him his whole career, everything
he needs. And then all of a sudden, you know, hey,
USC is calling, come on over, and he's like, all right,
oh yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and make that. I'm sorry,
(27:37):
y'all gonna go get to this other one.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Mind you.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I was already making millions and but I'm gonna dip
over to this other school. So that's been happening for
years with coaches, for sure. So the loyalty definitely was
loyalty with limits.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Yeah, I just I just don't I don't understand what
he's trying to say. And I guess the only trying
to mental Gimnaskima way through it. Ad he I don't.
I'm not going to accuse him of getting anything under
the table, Rob will I.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Won't said I said allegedly.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
That's like allegedly, but I will say whether he whatever happened.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
And he was only there in college for what six months?
On campus?
Speaker 8 (28:15):
To this day he talks about being a member of
Big Blue Nation, proud he was of being in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
How much you may go, he did win a championship.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Now you gotta make sure you throw that no, no, no,
but he wasn't there forever is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But what I'm saying, you win a championship, that's a
whole nother.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
I mean, even John Wall DeMarcus like, they're all proud
to be played at Kentucky. And do you think that
maybe that's what he's alluding to that you guys don't.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Say he's That's why I said, you don't need to
bring up the money. You don't need to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You can talk about loyalty or the idea that you
can't keep teams together. That's not what he said. You
guys are trying to bail them out, and it's not
I think.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Context of what he's saying. It's he was trying to
get to that point. He just ain't get to that
point because the money part of it all. I think
we all know they've been getting paid for years. It's
just not that And I feel like that's what he
was trying to ludle to Robb g.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
He ain't saying, well, I didn't feel like well or
articulated well, so that means he should get a show
on some national network.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Well, I mean you gotta think, Rob, how many former
especially guys of that caliber, former college athletes, really have
a problem with kids getting.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Paid because, to your point, people are getting paid for decades.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
They've been getting paid, So I don't see why they
would be upset now that just because it's above board. No,
because they but they didn't get millions. They didn't get
like like seriously, they got money, and some families got money, definite,
they ain't getting six million, like they're not getting that
kind of money.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And they're looking at these kids going, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
When I played Yo, they're getting money in high school guys?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
You know, we've had high school like folks who cover
high school here Spectrum, you know our new station, Spectrum
News one make sure you tune in every Monday through
Friday six to nine.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Just need to hear no theres Spectrum News.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
First of all, watch it. But we had like they
would tell me like yo, Dub, like I want to
go do this interview with his kid and he's in
the parking lot air get just.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Living it Like what I I guess I can do it.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
And it's bens And I'm like dang, She's like yeah,
like once the nil broke out man. These kids are
getting money early, like early rob Gi, not after I
prove it a year or two in college. They're getting
it in high school.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But there are all the guys who've got money. And
then some of these companies in places are like, ah.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Maybe they don't tell us that. They don't talk about
the ones who thank you. You know that, right, they
don't tell you about that. Oh yeah they've been pulled.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Don't come back and tell you that was the biggest
waste of our money ever, big time, Cause you're.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Gambling on the high school kids, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You're gambling at this kid who's playing locally is going
to be that guy. Let's give him half a million
dollars and it ends up being a right, but it's worth.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
A half a million dollars.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Well, guys on the flip side of that again, which
is probably even sadder if you think about it. How
many reports have we seen come out now, especially in
the last year or two, of schools and and and
collectives promising nil money that never actually material.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
There's plenty of those stories as well.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Where they're like, hey, I know you got to offer
twenty thousand to go to this school. I'm gonna give
you fifty and you get there, then fifty ever cups
you lost out on the original twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
No, I mean, that's that's another thing that people backing
out of their offers, which I would take them to court.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
You got to make sure that's legally bonding.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
But a lot of people they don't know this kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I'm just saying, you gotta get some help better. You
know what they need, you worse, hundreds and hundreds of
thousand dollars better, but they need We talked about it before.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
College athletes need a collective bargaining that's going to look
over you know what I mean, oversee all college players
so that they're not taking it.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
It's not college anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
No, I know, but I'm just saying, and you know
that level of athletics.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
Just go back to the days of Alabama football where
they all had camaros and trucks and stuff, exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
The days everybody had My other Coup.
Speaker 4 (32:06):

Hey, I tell you what though, he ain't lying. If

Speaker 1 (35:32):
You said to opt the most important word. If that
staff gets healthy, the Yankee staff. The Yankees missing three pictures.
They are currently and they're winning, and they're still winning,
and they're leading the American League as far as they
have the same amount of loss of the Tigers. The
Tigers will play two more games than the Yankees, and
that two game leading.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yankees ain't even getting by the Tigers. Take that here,
we go. Take that for data. Okay, just like the
Lions were gonna beat the Washington I want.
Speaker 10 (36:02):
Some Louisiana wings mixed in with I talked to people
because you know, I was on a show the other
day radio show and they did it was talking crazy.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Did you get that?
Speaker 5 (36:16):
Did you get that?
Speaker 3 (36:16):
Did you send it to your friends Detroit? I already know.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Whenever I get a call from people on the on
the air in Detroit and they want me on, that
means they're mad at me.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
You know what I mean? You what he said?
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Oh my gosh, I literally would give up my left
pinky toe. I told Rob G this for it to
be a Lion's Chief super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Because you'll be doomed either way, Rob Parker, Rob G,
what's the chance of that a Lion's Chief?
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Ain't that crazy? It's not that crazy?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yes, it is. The Chiefs had done and so are
the Lions.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
The lion The Lions are going to be like the
going to be like the Eagles when they took a
step back after they lost both coordinators. I'm serious, the
division is better and then not going to destroy the.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
AFC South better thing. I don't know why AFC South.
That's what they did last year.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
They were fifteen and two, had home field throughout the
postseason and lose to a rookie quarterback at home. Would
not They were not and a half point favorites.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
And they're fifteen and two all of a sudden, they're
going to go to the fifteen is what you're telling me.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
No, they're not gonna make the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
I'll say, roger a pinky toe cut off right now?
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Eight and eight, the Chiefs Lions in the Super Bowl.
What would be worse for you if they won? The Lions?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Well, that would be the first Super Bowl I'm not
going to Probably, I would not go to San Francisco
to the Bear What?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
What?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
What?
Speaker 4 (37:42):
What would put you under Lions winning or the Chiefs winning?
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Do I have to pay?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
You can't even say it? Oh my gosh, Rogerie, this
has to happen.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You know, I don't care. I'm not a fan. I
don't care who wins.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
No, these two teams are the exceptions. I'll give you
other teams. If it was Charger, if it were Chargers Commanders,
I agree, you'd have no realpe you'd not care. But
boy oh boy, or even worse propt if the Lions
beat his covering his love Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Whatever. I don't know Jackson. I think he's a great quarterback.

right after we get off the air. Cal when you're
going to the Dodgers hosting the New York Yankees, or
have been red hot and actually them and the Tigers
(01:23):
have the same amount of losses. The Tigers have two
more wins have played two more games in the Yankees,
but they're tied in the lost column, which is, you
know what you look at when you're comparing teams, the
lost column. But anyway, they played the Dodgers first time
since the World Series. Right, the Dodgers won the World Series,
Yankees loss. They hadn't met together in the World Series
(01:45):
since nineteen eighty one. It was great for baseball until
the series started and then it just didn't materialize. Dodgers
wind up winning it. It could have been a great series,
right six or seven had the Yankees held on to
that nothing lead, and but they disintegrated, lost that game
and ultimately lost the World Series. But I'm gonna say this, Kelvin,
(02:09):
as we are about a third of the way through
the season, which is unbelievable, right, like we're about the
June almost a third.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Of the way through. I know, it's kind of crazy,
it is.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And if you look at it, the Dodgers started the
season with the signings and the money they spend the offseason,
and we thought they were gonna be the Beatles?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Am I right or wrong on that?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Like they were supposed to be, Like, oh my god,
look at all the pitching they have look at their lineup,
look at what they did last year. How are you
gonna stop this juggernaut? And then as the Dodgers have
had happen injuries to their pitching is remember they didn't
have pitching last year. And now I'm looking at this
team and the Yankees have injured, have had injuries as well.
(02:58):
They lost their age Garrett Cole to start the season.
And the pitch that all this year, yep Stroman was heard.
A couple other people are heard. Uh, there their rookie
of the year pitcher, Luis Heal, Uh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
He got heard. He hasn't pitched all year.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But somehow the Yankees are still there and playing really,
really good baseball. When I look at these two teams,
if I had to pick and say which team is
going to return to the World Series a third of
the way in, I'm picking the.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
New York Yankees and not the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So many things just havn't gone right. And history is
against who kelvin, Is it against the Dodgers or the Yankees?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, crazily, it's against the Dodgers in baseball for sure.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And that and I'm saying with all the things that
have happened, all the things that have to get right
right itself. We're looking at Mookie Betts, who was sick
you remember to start the season, kind of turned it around,
but he hasn't been himself this year.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Has he not playing great? Playing all right?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And the Dodgers, despite it, we had the number in
the last two months, they have not played.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
They've played under five.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Hundred ball, which is incredible when you think of that
lineup and what we were expecting. Whereas the Yankees have
been unbelievable when you think no John Carlos Stanton, who
is unbelievable right in the postseason for them, they lost
Juan Soto right, who had a great year for the
Yankees in the Bronx correct, right, and yet they haven't
(04:43):
missed a beat because Aaron Judges playing out of his
mind and they're going to start getting pieces back as
well and pitchers back. That's why I would pick right
now the Yankees over the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I mean, you know, it's he's not a crazy pick.
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Right now with the Yankees, what they're able to do
a couple of things to add too, I mean, they're
playing some great baseball right now.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
We know, it's a long season. We're sitting here. It's
you know, headed the b June here in a day
or two. They're nine and one in their last ten games, right,
They got a lot of good things going for them.
And if another thing I would look at if I
were them, I would say, man, look at our run differential.
They're plus one hundred and thirteen right now.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's huge.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You're looking The Dodgers are at a plus sixty five.
So a lot of these Dodger games are obviously much closer,
and the Dodgers the last ten are playing five hundred baseball.
But here's the scary part to me with the Dodgers.
I think some of the guys who we've mentioned aren't
even playing their best baseball yet, and yet they find
themselves thirty four and twenty two right, a couple of
(05:44):
games up on the padres in the division and looking
at to be prime real estate. As the season goes by,
and you start to get that pitching, and you start
to get Mookie Bets feeling even better and playing even better,
and you start to get Shohey, who is actually playing
performing better right now than hitting wise in last season
at this pace, but not.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
For Darby exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Not production wise because he's not getting those that bottom
of that lineup isn't getting on. So to me, as
they start to get guys back, you just you got
Edmond back.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now he's been back for about a week or so.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
As they get guys healthy, to me, they are the
ones who say we have that mental edge on a
team on several teams, like the Padres, but also like
the Yankees. And I think to me as they start
to go back, last season was so big for the
Dodgers because they were over able to overcome things that
have historically, you know, hindered them, right, the injuries. Oh man,
(06:39):
starting pitching is bad, Well, they're not gonna go anywhere. Well,
they say starting pitching ain't great, but danget, these bullpen
games are gonna get us some wins and some w's
and they did. You had guys start to exercise their
demons in the postseason. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, who were
terrible the year before, Freddie Freeman has an all world
What an amazing postseason run. You saw Edmund start to
become one of their best players, so much so that
(07:00):
they're able to get rid of CT three who have
been a staple for a decade. So I think they
have good will, good mojo, and they feel like they've
exercised some demons that as they move forward, get pieces back.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I don't think they're scared of anybody.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I think that for the first time since me being
around this team, I think they actually kind of have
a little little you know, a.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Little swagger and walk like a little you know, we're.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Supposed to do this, whereas previously I felt like, we
know we're a good team, and we just really hope
we can get it done.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
We really hope we can get it done. And now
shoot a couple of rings.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Since twenty twenty, the way they do it, I was
blown away with them finally talking smack and talking trash,
and I think they have a something, a little edge
to them that I had not seen with this team.
But again, the Yankees are performing very well, and big
shout out to Aaron Judge who didn't take a step.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Back after then Jan Soda left, who has been over.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Ready not just only a home run hitter, and he
is hitting over four hundred, which is crazy right right now,
and so I credit him for not having a falloup
because you know, this too. Rop Sometime in sports, especially
in the NFL, you get a team that goes to
the Super Bowl and loses, and we'll be right back
next year.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
No, they won't. They barely make the postseason.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And that happens in baseball at times too, where your
team who was really good, got really deep, made a
great playoff run, they don't bounce back.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The Texas Rangers didn't go to the World they won
the World Series two years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They didn't go last year to exactly, and it happened.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So credit both teams for still being a top of
their divisions and being the better teams in baseball so
that they have a chance. And if you're the MLB,
you're drooling what I wouldn't do to get this lineup
like this matchup again. You know you didn't get it
since nineteen eighty one. Now you had it last year.
It was phenomenal. The whole postseason was great form LB,
and then the World Series was great too, and now
(08:49):
if you can get it again. So but I credit
both teams for showing up again. And if you're the Yankees,
you didn't flounder. We performed horribly. We lost Cole, we
lost Soto, and you think they could just you and
no standing all year, no standing all year. They could
have taken a step back. They haven't. And then again
to Dodgers for not resting on their laurels and say
all we wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Maybe we good and good and falling off. But I'm
gonna get the.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Slight answer to the Dodgers because I feel like there's
a mental age that they have. But again, both teams
have been fantastic. But I'm going with the Dodgers for
the last six seven years, the success that they had,
including a two World Series titles.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Here's the reason I think the Dodgers are in the
toughest position as well.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
That that that division.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That division, there you go, and I'm gonna go there
because you got three other teams that are good.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Okay, So you're gonna go through the garnlet all year.
This is a runaway. You might not win the division, right,
that's possible. You might not win the division where coming
into the year, right in, somebody the Giants or or
Padres or somebody else could win the division. And then
here's the other thing. So so, and then the Yankees
on the flip side, their division is not good, like
(09:59):
the Divisi is not good. And the Baltimore Oriols, who
won like ninety one games last year, they were in
last place. They're terrible, Like the whole thing fell apart.
So they were like a rival for the Yankees right
in the division. They're not there. Boston started out pretty good.
They've like kind of middle of the road, uh Toronto,
(10:20):
like like I'm just saying, like the Yankees have a
better road or path in the al least.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And here's the other one.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Agree with that now that that's why I that's how
I knew you were going there, because I ain't gonna lie.
I was kind of looking at that and I said,
I mean, you got a team and the Padres, who
are ticked off of the Dodgers, right, they had a
last year and beat and they've done that before, and
so you know, I had some animosity there.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
They want to get back.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And then the Giants, who are you know, poor performing
admirably not great, but they're you know, they're putting up
a solid season for them, and uh so nobody.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Was expecting anything from the Giants.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, and the the Cardinals, I'm sorry, not the Cardinals,
but the Diamondbacks. D Backs were playing better, and now
they've kind of fallen off of the last two three
weeks because they were actually looking pretty solid themselves. And
what the heck are the Colorado Rockies by the way,
nine and forty seven awful?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I know, all the way, but that's how if you've
got a division with four good teams, right, somebody's got
to take the brunt of it. And it's the Rockies.
Last thing, just Yankees pitching. And this is the thing,
losing your age, losing the Rookie of the year and
all that you ready, Yankee starting picture pitchers have posted
a major League leading two point seven zero eer RA
(11:31):
in their last thirty eight starts since April fourteenth. Here's
the kicker, Calvin Rilly uh huh, allowing one or zero
earned runs in twenty of those thirty eight starts. In
more than half, the starters have allowed one or zero
(11:54):
earn runs.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
That's that's an.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Unbelievable believe That sounds like the Dodgers pitchers a few
years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But they still losing.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Remember yeah, right, Maror Pitts is like, man, I'm giving
up maybe maybe two runs and we can can't Wales,
I can't win.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So no, but I told you.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I'm told the winners are gonna be me and you
and all our good listeners right now. If we get
Yankees Dodgers again, come on, man, pray to the baseball guys.
Rob you got a Hall of Fame vote that means
you got a Hall of You got a bat phone
to them, a little red phone.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You can pick up town the baseball guys. Make it
happen again. You know I can't do that. I would
be great though, for baseball.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
All right, let's do this eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven, seven nine nine.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Which team is closer to a second consecutive World Series birth?
Is it the Dodgers who won last year or the
Yankees who lost last year?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
It is the odd couple on a worship on worship

All right, Rob, we're talking about Yankees or the Dodgers.
Who's more likely to win it all?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Again?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I say Dodgers. You say Yankees? What says the people
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Who we got?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Let's go to Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What's up? Dre?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yes to Yankees and Dodgers tonight ten pm Eastern.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (14:03):
How you doing? Thanks for taking a call. Love this
marquee matchup to heavyweight going total. So I gotta say
the raiser then, but I'm gonna go with the Dodgers
based off the bet. I just feel their rosters a
little bit better, So Ay Otani versus Aaron Judge. I'm
giving a slight advantage of show A because of how
we can impact the game from the offensive end as
well as as a pitcher. You know. So I just
(14:25):
think he's two teams. You know, they've proven it. These
are the two again heavyweight top in terms of spending.
You know, they're they're going for that World Series. I
do feel though the Dodgers' rosters a little bit better.
So even though I'm from the Tried State area, born
in the Great State of New Jersey, culturally I lean
towards the Yankees, but in terms of the roster, I.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Gotta go to Dodgors.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
But Dray did you go? All right?
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But the only thing is I'm saying is they got
a lot of people in jured. You gotta hopefully get
those back. And what's unbelievable to me is like the
emergence of Max Freed, right, the Yankees are t and
then one in games that he started, you lose your
ace and you don't fall off. I think that shows
a lot about the Yankees, is that they didn't fall
(15:09):
off losing their ace.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
One hundred, you know, and they're playing better. Yeah, So
I again, I think I think it's quite close. I'm
not saying that it's a landslide. They didn't edge him
out last year in the World Series. Uh, but until
the Yankees can prove it for me, I'm gonna I'm
gonna lean towards the Dodgers. But hey, go Brons Bombers,
bring back another World Series. Thanks, thanks taking a call.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All right, thank you? And uh we got good weather.
You got good weather to go, don't you tonight?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, well they'll be good once as the sun keeps
going down, because brother, you know, today was really hot
out here in La hotter than normal, hotter than it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Will be the rest of the week.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
So by the time I actually get out there, you know,
obviously this show goes to the game's start, so I'll
jet out. I'll get there probably third fourth inning, whatever third.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Is, fourth and then leaving the sixth or seven. Tight. No,
I'm not gonna leave that. You will stay in the
whole game.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean, obviously depends on the on the score
and whatever ten to one started eight them out, you
know what I mean. But uh, probably grab grab a
bite afterwards with a homie or too, so you know
how it is, man, You know, I was with my
babies all last weekend. Mommy was out of town. So
just get out your little fresh air, get out man,
have a good time.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So yeah, I'm looking forward to actually going out tomorrow.
And both games are national games, actually Saturday for on
Fox and then Sunday four o'clock start out here on
the West Coast because it's Sunday Night baseball, which makes
sense on both. Right, if you're Fox, you want the
Yankees and Dodgers, and on Sunday Night Baseball you want
Yankees and Dodgers. So they got evening games on both
(16:42):
so it'll just be interesting to see those guys. And
already Mookie Betts is not n ot playing tonight.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah I saw that. Yeah, so that's a bull.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And you mentioned earlier he's not having a bad season
if for most basements for him, he is, but for
him it is down.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The batan average is down.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
We're you know, maybe thirty points from where you would
normally want it to be for him, home runs maybe
you know, handfull shy, what do you want.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
After he got over the illness, you remember he was
off to a hot start.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Yep, yep, yep, And so he's slowing down a little bit,
but uh, Freddie Freeman has been good, has been good.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I mean, you know what's incredible. Look, I want to
say this to you. Aaron Judge had that terrible error
where he took his eye off the.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Ball that led to that big five inning giving up
that you know, uh five runs to the Dodgers, you remember,
right in Game five, and.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
They're watching it with you, and guess what, He's had
such a great season.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
No one's talking about it, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Like, yeah, like, seriously, he gotta, he gotta, he gotta
pass on it because he what are we talking about?
He's about in four hundred, it's almost June. I'm serious, Like,
it's unbelievable the way that he's come back from that.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And that's a great credit to him, a great point,
rob because most naturally all of us are looking for
it's a phrase call for those who you know aren't
familiar with this called confirmation bias. And let's say you
just for some reason didn't like Aaron Judge, you know
what I mean? And now you've got your thing you
can always point to you. And if he had that
(18:12):
blundering Game five and came back was batting two sixty down,
five six home runs, and normal you would be like,
see man told he's washed, it's over, it's a rat.
But he's comeback, bounced back and has been better, and
that that's a big time credit for him, because that
could have been one of those moments, you know, and
I do think what also saved him rob was that
(18:35):
wasn't the singular play.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
No, no, no, but it was a big It was
the start that was his first start error ever in
the Think about that and the World Series game on
an easy pop up, crazy, think about it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Just he's not a bad field. It wasn't even hard.
It wasn't a hard.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
He took his eye off of it for a millie second.
And that's what the first when you're playing ball was
first in the coach, don't take your eye exactly. Unbelievable,
all right, Yeah, so but hopefully it's a good man.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Hopefully we get you know, at least two of the
three games are really good, really competitive.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Obviously can't guess all three will be. And here's Mookie Betts.
I got the numbers fifty four, yeah, yeah, yeah, two.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Fifty two, eighty nine last year, three seven, the year
before he has thirty one RBIs. He had seventy five
last year. Uh, and he had one hundred and seven
two years ago.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
So it's it's it's it's not terrible, but it ain't great.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yeah, he might be sneaking on some random last pig
all star for another guy, you know what I mean,
But for Mookie standard, MVP caliber standard, he's definitely down.
All right on the way, Uh, Anthony Davis says, something
that's got your panties all in the bunch. We gotta
talk about that, both pair and a bunch.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I want you to.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Ah a couple, but right now we gotta get you. Steve,
the Segre is gonna tell you what's training, what's up?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Steve.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
All right, Steve, Hey, have a great weekend, Steve, Thank you.
Man on the way, We got last call coming up
a little bit, but right now Stia couple Robin Kelvin
on a funky flashback Friday and Rob Man both pair
of pennies under bunch right now with what Ady had
to say about NIO.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Rob G. Can you set the table for us please?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Rob, I have no promise in the table for you
dinner for it goes on the left. Yes, Anthony Davis
has been making some media rounds, very limited, not a lot,
but he has a new brand partnership with some moisturizing cream.
You don't care about it, that's not what's important. What
is important.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And instead of the advertising that he's rubbing it in
on a college players, how's that?
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yes, that is correct. The teas right there.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
And most recently he sat down with Sports Illustrated and
during their conversation and came up and here's what ad
said about nil in college sports. It's tough because obviously
they didn't have it when I was in college. It
kind of takes away from the game a little bit because,
and I'm not hating it, takes away from the integrity
(21:15):
in the sense of players are only going to certain
schools because of the money. He continues, college basketball is
still competitive, but the recruitment of it has kind of
gotten a little wacky, especially when you consider that guys
can leave and enter the portal and go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
It's just a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm not hating, but I'm hating ad stop it and
the blue blood's Kelvin, it was not nil or was
under the table money? Come on, man, stop it a
d how much money did you take?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm just asking. I'm not accusing you of anything.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Colin Pari slip you any money and your sneakers, Kelvin,
any money on the side in a bag on the
side of the road, Go drive up to five.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
There's a be a bag laying there. Do you know
what I'm saying? Come on, man, like, don't be holier
than now.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And the integrity of the game and coaches getting money
and players getting money. Come on, I'm not gonna believe
for one second that there was some integrity in college
basketball and all the blue bloods did it fair and square.
That's how we got all players. It's all fair and square.
No money exchange hands.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Kelvin?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Is he is?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
He not ridiculous? Listen in technically know what was going
We know what was going on with Rick Potino. Right,
Let's let's let's not overly talk about integrity. Here's what
I think he meant to say, because he didn't mean intech.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Dorms.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Right, we know shady stuff been going on for years.
We know college football players basketball and get an envelope.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Hey, how you doing great game? Pat?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Pat, there's an envelope in your jacket with a little
bit of money in there. We know those parents been
in the houses and cars. Now it's out in the open.
We know about it now. So here's what I would
I would rewrite this retell him if I was his buddy,
to say, this is what you meant, ad he meant
the continuity. Rob Parker is going meaning the things you
(23:17):
can depend on. Right, you go to this school and
you stick around, you play two, three, four years.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
He was a one and done guy. What what what
I know?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
But I'm thinking he's meaning, you know, I just think
he's meaning the tradition of kind of how we had
certain the rivalries, if you will, the teaming.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Rob g just I hear what you're saying. You're helping him.
That's not what he said, because he's talking about ni
Yl right and and and Colin Parry, his coach who
also had wins vacated at U mass in Memphis for Okay,
So I'm just saying, when you talk about that, I
(23:56):
just got to push back and say A. D.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
What are you talking about, because.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's what that's why I think he's talking about the
more so we got guys leaving teams. They're not sticking
with teams. There's no continuity. You don't know the teams.
They're flopping or going here to transfer here instead of
staying with such and such school U C l A.
I'm gonna leave because now any mody even be a
lesser school. But they offered me two fifty. UCLA's only
(24:22):
giving me one hundred and twenty. And I think that's
what he's talking about, not so much that they're getting
paid that they're just doing anything for the money. I'll
go to this lesser school because they're paying me more.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
That's what kids did before when they were given and
sending You know how many people that sent FedEx boxes
full of cash for their families. And I mean, come on,
My point is there were people even How did he
wind up at Oregon? Remember the pipeline from Detroit to Oregon?
Do you remember that?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Oh? No, listen, I know that he's they just from
Detroit to Oregon?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Oh what?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
What? What's in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is it the night?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Is it Nike? And is it Nike?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I'm just saying, like, seriously, yeah, and that and only
other thing I can think of, too, is you're getting
guys sticking around who are twenty four, twenty five, twenty six.
Oh you know, they had a COVID year, they get
an extra year, they got a graduate degree year. And
these dudes, Man, I'm telling you this past March madness.
I've said it before. I'm not convinced. I didn't go
(25:20):
to high school with some of those guys. I mean,
I'm like, I swear, dude, was that problem with me?
Like this is absolutely crazy. So but he's naive if
he thinks there's been high integrity for decades.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
If he's naive, if he thinks this is new. That's
what I'm saying. It's just that we know it and
we can see it now, right exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
It's just out front and we're all seeing it now
and we're all fully aware of it. So that's, uh,
that's the only thing I can think of. What you know,
what he's trying to I was trying to. I was
trying to shoot him some bail. But I mean, that's
the best I could come up with.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Rob g jump in.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Do you think when ad made the common because I'm
agree with you guys, this does not make a whole
lot of sense to me. Do you think his issue
is not actually with nil and really it is with
the transfer portal?
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Because the idea of whether you are one and done
or not, you're committing to that school. I'm going to
stay at that school for at least one season and
then we'll see what happens. Nowadays, you can transfer after
six games if you want to, you know, like you can.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
There's there's the whole you talk about, Ni l It's
about money, right, And he mentioned.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Him saying is that do you think that when he's
really upset because he mentioned, you know, you got to
recruit a player and you got to continue to recruit
him and that kind of thing. And Nick Saban has
said the same thing, Kirby Smart, like is his issue
not necessarily with the guys getting money and the nil.
The issue is that what the loyalty of the transfer portal?
Like I'm trying to help him out, like it's like, but.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Even even then where people are critical, coaches walk out
on players all the time.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Kelvin, right, you ain't lying about that recruit you all.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
This and that, and then they walk out on you like,
oh I got a better job.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
And that's what I'm trying to say, Like what what loyalty?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I don't even know for players to say that players
aren't loyal and this and like what coaches have done
to them don't I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
And that's one thing I've said for even before the
NIL really took off, was I was saying for years
that coaches will sit there, look parents in the face.
I'm gonna be there for him his whole career, everything
he needs. And then all of a sudden, you know, hey,
USC is calling, come on over, and he's like, all right,
oh yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and make that. I'm sorry,
(27:37):
y'all gonna go get to this other one.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Mind you.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I was already making millions and but I'm gonna dip
over to this other school. So that's been happening for
years with coaches, for sure. So the loyalty definitely was
loyalty with limits.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
Yeah, I just I just don't I don't understand what
he's trying to say. And I guess the only trying
to mental Gimnaskima way through it. Ad he I don't.
I'm not going to accuse him of getting anything under
the table, Rob will I.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Won't said I said allegedly.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
That's like allegedly, but I will say whether he whatever happened.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
And he was only there in college for what six months?
On campus?
Speaker 8 (28:15):
To this day he talks about being a member of
Big Blue Nation, proud he was of being in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
How much you may go, he did win a championship.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Now you gotta make sure you throw that no, no, no,
but he wasn't there forever is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But what I'm saying, you win a championship, that's a
whole nother.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
I mean, even John Wall DeMarcus like, they're all proud
to be played at Kentucky. And do you think that
maybe that's what he's alluding to that you guys don't.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Say he's That's why I said, you don't need to
bring up the money. You don't need to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You can talk about loyalty or the idea that you
can't keep teams together. That's not what he said. You
guys are trying to bail them out, and it's not
I think.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Context of what he's saying. It's he was trying to
get to that point. He just ain't get to that
point because the money part of it all. I think
we all know they've been getting paid for years. It's
just not that And I feel like that's what he
was trying to ludle to Robb g.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
He ain't saying, well, I didn't feel like well or
articulated well, so that means he should get a show
on some national network.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Well, I mean you gotta think, Rob, how many former
especially guys of that caliber, former college athletes, really have
a problem with kids getting.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Paid because, to your point, people are getting paid for decades.
Speaker 8 (29:30):
They've been getting paid, So I don't see why they
would be upset now that just because it's above board. No,
because they but they didn't get millions. They didn't get
like like seriously, they got money, and some families got money, definite,
they ain't getting six million, like they're not getting that
kind of money.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
And they're looking at these kids going, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
When I played Yo, they're getting money in high school guys?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yes, I have.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
You know, we've had high school like folks who cover
high school here Spectrum, you know our new station, Spectrum
News one make sure you tune in every Monday through
Friday six to nine.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Just need to hear no theres Spectrum News.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
First of all, watch it. But we had like they
would tell me like yo, Dub, like I want to
go do this interview with his kid and he's in
the parking lot air get just.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Living it Like what I I guess I can do it.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
And it's bens And I'm like dang, She's like yeah,
like once the nil broke out man. These kids are
getting money early, like early rob Gi, not after I
prove it a year or two in college. They're getting
it in high school.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But there are all the guys who've got money. And
then some of these companies in places are like, ah.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Maybe they don't tell us that. They don't talk about
the ones who thank you. You know that, right, they
don't tell you about that. Oh yeah they've been pulled.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Don't come back and tell you that was the biggest
waste of our money ever, big time, Cause you're.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Gambling on the high school kids, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
You're gambling at this kid who's playing locally is going
to be that guy. Let's give him half a million
dollars and it ends up being a right, but it's worth.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
A half a million dollars.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Well, guys on the flip side of that again, which
is probably even sadder if you think about it. How
many reports have we seen come out now, especially in
the last year or two, of schools and and and
collectives promising nil money that never actually material.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
There's plenty of those stories as well.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
Where they're like, hey, I know you got to offer
twenty thousand to go to this school. I'm gonna give
you fifty and you get there, then fifty ever cups
you lost out on the original twenty.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
No, I mean, that's that's another thing that people backing
out of their offers, which I would take them to court.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
You got to make sure that's legally bonding.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
But a lot of people they don't know this kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I'm just saying, you gotta get some help better. You
know what they need, you worse, hundreds and hundreds of
thousand dollars better, but they need We talked about it before.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
College athletes need a collective bargaining that's going to look
over you know what I mean, oversee all college players
so that they're not taking it.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
It's not college anymore.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
No, I know, but I'm just saying, and you know
that level of athletics.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
Just go back to the days of Alabama football where
they all had camaros and trucks and stuff, exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
The days everybody had My other Coup.

staff gets healthy, the Yankee staff. The Yankees missing three pictures.
They are currently and they're winning, and they're still winning,
and they're leading the American League as far as they
have the same amount of loss of the Tigers. The
Tigers will play two more games than the Yankees, and
that two game leading.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yankees ain't even getting by the Tigers. Take that here,

Lions were gonna beat the Washington I want.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Ain't that crazy? It's not that crazy?

Yes, it is. The Chiefs had done and so are
the Lions.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
The lion The Lions are going to be like the
going to be like the Eagles when they took a
step back after they lost both coordinators. I'm serious, the
division is better and then not going to destroy the.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
AFC South better thing. I don't know why AFC South.
That's what they did last year.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
