You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Table for one, Yes, mister Otani, right this way, come
on in a lot to talk about on this meet Friday,
It's National fried Rice Day. That means Terry Yankee chicken
fried rice, buffalo chicken egg rolls. Who has it better
than we do?

We got a lot of the today brought to you
(00:43):
by Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan
Patrick Show. A little later on the Dodger manager Dave
Roberts will join us. Booker McFarlane from the Mothership will
stop buying about twenty minutes, and our good buddy Will
Ferrell will stop buy later in the program eight seven
seven to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show. Good morning, if you're watching
(01:06):
on peacock, thank you for letting us into your homes
and the radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports
Radio for four hundred cities carrying the program. So we
lead off with shohe going six for six ten RBIs,
three homers, two steals, and now fifty one fifty one
club And you do that on the same night. You
(01:28):
get your stolen base, you get your home runs, and
maybe maybe it's the greatest game in baseball history. Now
there's been a lot of incredible performances, but it's on
the short list because before this I didn't think about
taking inventory of what is the greatest performance in baseball
(01:51):
history the game itself. He's going for fifty to fifty,
which has never been done before. You clinch a playoff
spot in the process. How this season started. Before the
season started, we didn't even know how good he was
going to be, how healthy he was going to be.
We knew he wasn't going to pitch, he wasn't going
(02:11):
to play the outfield, he was just going to hit.
And then I think the over under for him home
runs might have been around thirty eight or thirty nine.
Well he blew past that, and then the stolen bases.
I don't think he'll ever have a season like this again.
And it's not because he's not talented enough or maybe
hitting his prime or past his prime or whatever it
(02:32):
might be. It's because if he pitches, he's not going
to be running as much as he has. This might
be one of those statistical anomalies for him hitting the
fifty and then fifty stolen bases as well, and even
he was surprised putting up these numbers this year. But
if he goes back to pitching, and I talked to
(02:53):
Dave Roberts about this yesterday about maybe Otani pitching this
season in the postseason because they need some healthy arms,
So that'll be coming up a little bit later on.
I just don't see Otani. There are guys who ran
and then all of a sudden they stopped running. And
usually he'll be you know, guys who hit home runs.
(03:13):
But you'll see some of these guys who will put
up you know, forty to fifty stolen bases, sixty stolen bases,
and then they just don't run after that. Now you're
also going to get feedback here of well, should a
designated hitter win the MVP? I think we are all
in agreement. Showhy is bigger than a dh he's the
(03:35):
most valuable player in baseball. We haven't seen this. He
lived up to the hype coming off surgery. What happened
with his former interpreter. I mean, there's been a lot
in the pressure. You're going from the American League to
the National League. It's your first year in a Dodger uniform.
He's worldwide and he's more than lift up. He's surpassed
(03:57):
the expectations, which is, you know, it's incredible. You just
think that. But you know, once again, we didn't think
there would be a fifty to fifty, but then all
of a sudden it became a reality, and he lived
up to it. Here is the call his fiftieth home
run yesterday afternoon, and.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
They pitched cout make to show, Hey, old Tony, Hey
swings hits.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
A track to laugh. This ball's back.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
There was fifty, the first player in the history of
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
To have a fifty fifty season.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He is incredible, Yes he is. But once again, if
you listen to the sound of the ball leaving the bat,
nobody hits balls like that. Played again, Marvin, just listen
to the sound, and.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
They pitched cout make a show, Hey, old Tony Hey
Swings Day.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's just it's plus. The game was in the afternoon,
it was a four to forty start in Miami. It's
one of those. And PAULI said, this is sort of
like Wilt Chamberlain in Hershey, Pennsylvania scoring one hundred. Now,
back then, nobody saw it. You were either there and
you saw it or you didn't show Hey. You had
(05:13):
to find this and then he had already homered twice
when I was like, I don't even know is it
ESPN plus, I'm trying to find this, and all of
a sudden, by the time I found it, he had
already done all the damage. There you go six for six,
three homers. You join the fifty to fifty club. That's
a day. I mean, that's a week for some people.
(05:36):
But is it the greatest game in baseball history? Now
you could go back to Don Larson throwing a perfect
game in the World Series, Okay, I mean, can can
O'tani's game be better? Like that's a perfect game for
a hitter. That's a perfect game, literally a perfect game
for a player a pitcher. I might have to take
(05:58):
it off the board. But if I looked at regters
season games, I don't know if anybody has surpassed this. Plus,
you know you're in a pennant stretch here, you clinch
a playoff spot, the pressure's there, and you go fifty
to fifty in the same game.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I'd like to.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Find, you know, if somebody has a suggestion on this
game or these games, these performances were better. I'm all
ears today, but I never thought I'd be going, what's
the greatest performance in baseball history? I didn't think we
would be doing that today. Tire rack dot Com brings

I did love this. Skip Shoemaker is the Marlins manager,
and he was asked why the Marlins didn't walk Otani.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I think that's a bad move, baseball wise, karma wise,
baseball god wise.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You go after him and see if you can get
him out.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
And I think, out of respect for the game, we're
going to go after him.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I loved it. Now, if it was a game that
was deciding if you were going to make the playoffs,
if there was more of a postseason attachment to this,
then he would have approached this differently. But I think
what he's saying is, look, you go after him. That's
you don't want to go against baseball karma where you're
pitching around somebody and they had every reason to pitch
(07:35):
around him. You don't want to be you know, oh,
who did he do it against the Marlins? And he
hit three bombs? You know when the pitcher just like
doesn't even look around, doesn't turn around and look, it's
just the sound of it. You know, they just know
here is his fifty first home run, right, he.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Has done it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's the first time Old Tony in his career has.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Had a three home run game.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Can you believe this?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Ten runs batted in for Old Tony?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
That's also a career high fifty one home runs for show.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Hey, Old Tony. Courtesy of AM five seventy LA Sports
Dodgers Radio Network. Once again, the sound of it, it's
just a crisp pop And I don't do exit velocity.
I don't do any of that. I just know wow,
and that's what it was yesterday. It was wow. And
(08:37):
it's unfortunately I didn't get to see it in real
time because I forgot that it was on at four
forty and then all of a sudden, I'm getting text messages.
I'm like, oh my god, I gotta find this, and
then all of a sudden, by the time I found it,
like ESPN Plus and I'm like, uh, nothing to see
here other than one of the great performances in baseball history.
(09:00):
Pretty incredible. We'll have a poll question. We got our
Play the Day stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
And it's even wild that Otani stayed in the game
to get fifty one. You know, he could easily have
been given a break. I think the guys missed three
games this entire season. Yes, yeah, he's not load managing.
But you can said, oh, he did history. Let's let
him rest a couple onnox.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, okay, I said to Fritzi, let's reach out to
Dave Roberts. I want to talk to Dave before Otani
and the Dodgers go back home. And that's when they
set the record. And I'm thinking, all right, you know what,
they're playing the Marlins, and you know, maybe he gets
to fifty in one of the categories. But talking to
Dave to talk about Otani's season, and I thought Otani
(09:44):
was going to break the record back home against Colorado.
So we'll play the interview with Dave Roberts that we
conducted yesterday before the game, and that'll be coming up
late next hour. All right, poll question today their seat
and O'Connor, what are you thinking? We'll get to the
football there. My Jets with a big win against the
Patriots last night as they went at twenty four to three,
(10:06):
and Aaron Rodgers looked like Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, more impressive.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
Fifty to fifty shohe Otani with home runs in stolen bases.
Albert Bell home runs in doubles.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Hmmm mmmm, it's the only person ever do that. Okay,
until you told me that, I didn't realize that Albert
Bell had done that. So how big a deal is that?
Speaker 10 (10:35):
I don't know that ultimately either of them is really
that big of a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But wait, you don't think what Otani did is a
big deal.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
I mean, if it was a different error, Ricky Henderson
would have been a hundred hundred. Come on, now, I
do think he's defending the great stolen base king.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I look, Ronald Akunya Junior, the third had forty one
homers in seventy three stolen bases, So it is possible
that somebody else could do this. But god tany does
it in a way that's elegant, like there's a velvet
hammer to him. He just looks regal when he's up there,
(11:15):
and then it sounds violent when he swings. But do
you have any other poll questions there? There aren't a
ton of people. I think what the most doubles.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
In a season is like sixty something, Yeah, so to
hit fifty in a season is pretty good, whereas getting
fifty stolen bases compared to you know, the record is.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
One thirty eight something like that.
Speaker 10 (11:45):
Yeah, But to do the difference between those two numbers,
what I'm saying is gigantic.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, okay, if you're hitting, you're hitting home runs, and
if you don't hit a home run, you can hit
a double. You know, the difference between stealing a base
and hitting a home run far greater than hitting a
double or hitting a home run. I understand what you're saying.
The separation of fifty one stolen bases to one thirty
eight is huge. Yeah, but I don't think anybody cares
(12:17):
about Albert Bells. And now Albert bell had a couple
of great seasons, but I wouldn't factor that in. Is
a season better than Shoe Hee Tani's. You know, Tanis
surpassed every expectation this year, and the expectations weren't as
high as they've been when he was with the Angels.
But he did it, and then all of a sudden
there was pressure on him. Now could he do it?
(12:38):
And you do it in that fashion, that storybook stuff,
and it it really is.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yeah, it's almost like the way he did it, having
a night like that is more impressive than the fact
that he did it. That was a hell of a
way to.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Make that happen. Yeah, you don't back into it. Yeah
that was It's like, well, is he gonna get to
is he gonna you know, claw and scratch his way
to getting fifty to fifty?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No, he's not, no, no, And then he hits his fiftieth.
Then all of a sudden, you're like, all right, maybe
Dave Roberts takes him gone another home run?
Speaker 10 (13:10):
What was that takes him.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's the sound it makes. Actually, that's the Todd's sound. Todd, Yeah,
Todd does that.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
Yes, Paul I was trying to think of a football
comp for what O'tani did last night, and it might
be like, you run for two thousand yards in a
season as a running back, and on the day you
get it, you also break the single game rushing record
on that day. I know it's a little apples and oranges,
but it's so wild that he had the best game
of his or any other life on the same night
(13:42):
as the record. It's like when Roger Maris hit his
sixty first home run. My guess is he went one
for three or two for four. He didn't have ten
RBIs and two more home runs that day.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, if somebody's got a comp on this, then I'd
love to hear it. And maybe it's in other sports.
Maybe maybe it's I mean, I actually thought of Tiger
in two thousand when he just he boat raced everybody.
I mean, it wasn't fair, but we expected Tiger to
be great. Otani was coming off surgery, his best friend
(14:18):
was stealing money from him, wasn't going to be able
to pitch just dh Yeah, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
I'm gonna go with the Kobe eighty one point game
because how many NBA regular season games do you actually remember?
And it was the same kind of circumstance local TV
on a Sunday afternoon against the Raptors. Yeah, and everyone
still remembers that game. A regular season game.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Okay, but we're talking about the greatest performance in baseball history.
That's what I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Mark Waitton.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Four home runs, yep, hard hitting Mark Whitten. Okay, but
he wasn't reaching a milestone though. I don't think there's
a comp I don't. No one's every When you go
in and you there's the fifty to fifty club and
you look at the guest list, there's only one name
on there. That's it table for one, mister Otani. And
(15:15):
he's gonna be in there all by himself for a while. Yes.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
Yeah, Like you talk about records, I don't expect to
see again. You you explained it perfectly. If he did
pitch a season, he probably has forty five homers and
thirty stolen bases.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Because of the non pitching thing, the unexpected benefit is
they could let him loose.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, Let me take a break. I want to
talk about We'll have more on this once again, Dave
Roberts a little later on.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But Shohy certainly owned the night with what he did.
And when you get Lebron and Patrick Mahomes on social
media that they're chiming in on what they just saw
or what show Hay did, that's what's great. When you
get sort of that cross pollination with other sports watching.
That was fun to see. But the Jets rolled past
(16:02):
the Patriots. Aaron Rodgers he threw two touchdowns two hundred
and eighty one yards. And we'll size up the college
football weekend as well. If you're a Jets fan, how
great is this? You can just go, I got a
great weekend. Nothing's gonna spoil my weekend. We won. I
got Friday, I got Saturday, I got Sunday. I got
(16:26):
Monday too. Come on, yeah, get up, I got nothing
to worry about here. We won. We beat the Patriots,
Yes they do, and improved Patriots didn't look good at all,
certainly in the first half.
Speaker 12 (16:38):
Yes, yes, Tom, And it's a quality win. The Patriots
won in Cincinnati. They took the Seahawks overtime. Maybe it's
a little extra special that they beat.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
In New England.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, is this a quality like a quality start for
a pictures.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
It's a little more special than just a you know,
getting revenge on the Patriots. I think it's I think
it's nice that they.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Be Wait, so now, now, the Patriots are good.
Speaker 12 (16:59):
I'm not gonna say good. They're better than we thought.
That the Jets beat a team that won at Cincinnati
and took the overtime makes it a little more.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I think the Patriots might be worse than we thought
after the way they played last night.
Speaker 12 (17:09):
The Bengals are much worse than we over.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Let's take a break here. Booger McFarlane from the Mothership
will stop by. We'll get to phone calls. We're all excited.
Meet Friday back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blober this name and me.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over
Promised with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Will Ferrell stomps by a little later on as will
Dodger manager Dave Roberts get to your phone calls, settle
on a poll question. In fact, Paully has a possible
hour one poll question.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
Okay, if I caught Otani's fiftieth home run ball last night,
I would you have three options? Okay, give it back
to Otani and ask for a picture bat combination of
some sorty. But you give it back to Otani and
you get Dodgers tickets, World Serious tickets, some type of trade.
But immediately your second option you sell it this week
(19:10):
for the best offer.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
You can get.
Speaker 13 (19:11):
Okay, well it's hot.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Third option you hold it for a decade plus and
see what the market is. Let's save it.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Save it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Can you reach out to Darren Revel Fritzy because he
this is what he does for a living, and he'll
he'll nerd out on this. He'll give us what he
would do with the home run ball. Yes, it is,
so see if we can get a hold of him.
Booger McFarlane, ESPN, NFL College Football Analyst, College football studio
analyst on ABC, Analysts for NFL Primetime with Chris Berman
(19:43):
on ESPN Plus. Booger, good to see you, do you
do you have an opinion on show Heyo Tani. Everybody
else seems too so Patrick Mahomes had something to say.
Lebron James thoughts.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I'm just always in all DP and athletes achieve certain
heights and when things that are done that have never
been done before, to what do he goes six for
six ten RBI three home runs like that's unbelievable And
very rarely do we set expectations and the great ones
(20:18):
achieve and go above those expectations. I can only think
of a couple of a couple of guys like Tiger
Woods when he says hello world and everybody's saying he's
going to revolutionize golf. Well he did, Lebron James on
the cover Sports Illustrated at sixteen, He's the next great
thing and he was, and for show held tany to
sign a deal for seventy million dollars a year and
(20:38):
in his first year of that deal to exceed the expectations.
I'm just in awe of that because rarely do we
see that. Most of the times, our athletes underachieve and
they underwhelm us, and he definitely has not.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Well, I was wondering about this as well. Do you
have Travis Hunter at Colorado? Do you think he looks
or maybe his representatives would look at what Otani is doing,
you know, pitching and hitting. No, granted he didn't pitch
this year, but to make yourself a unicorn, Travis Hunter
has the talent to be able to do that.
Speaker 14 (21:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Can he do it full time and be that stand
out guy?
Speaker 13 (21:15):
You know?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
I don't think he's gonna be able to do it
full time. I came into this season thinking he was
a better corner than a receiver, but I've changed my mind,
Like his ball skills are unreal. I think he's a
better receiver than corner. I think he has pun return skills.
Can he do both? Sure, he could do both, but
this league, to me, it would be disrespectful to the
(21:36):
guys that show up every day and that have done
it for years and do it at a high level
on one side of the ball to say a guy
can come in and do it at a high level
on both sides. Think about some of the great athletes
we've seen. Champ Bailey. Okay, Champ Bailey was unreal. He's
a Hall of Famer, and Champ Bailey was a better
corner than receiver, So he played corner even Dion. As
great as Dion was, his primary position was cornerback. He
(21:58):
dibbled and dabbled every even in a little bit, but his
greatest position was cornerback. And so I just think it's
disrespectful to the level of athlete and the level of
professional professionalism that these guys show on the field to
think that Trafficks could come in and major at receiver
and major at corner. Can he minor in one of them? Sure,
but I don't think he's gonna be able to do both.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All Right, to Jets last night, what questions did they answer?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Not really a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
I mean, New England is not a good football team DP.
And this is probably not the take that everybody in
New York wants to hear because all of a sudden,
now the Jets are a super Bowl team. But let's
be honest, like, we don't think New England is going
to be a good team this year. They'll probably end
up with maybe three or four wins at the end
of the season. So are we really going to crown
the Jets because they beat a team that's gonna wind
up winning four games. Now, what I take from it
(22:50):
is Aaron Rodgers look healthy, Aaron Rodgers moved around, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Distributed the football. Well.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
But for me to come out and say this team
has arrived after beating a what we think is a
four win team, I can't do that. Let's see where
we are around Halloween, you know, kind of in baseball,
and you know this better than I do. In baseball,
we always say, hey, let's look at Memorial Day. It's
kind of the landmark, you know. You look at Memorial
Day and see where everybody's at, and football is Halloween. DP,
(23:17):
Let's get the Halloween. Let's put the mask on, let's
go Tricker Frea d And then let's wake up the
next morning and see where the Jets are. And I
think that will be a better depiction of who they're
gonna be than today after beating the Patriots and everybody's
gung ho in New York.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Booger, booger, you're way too intelligent, way too measured. Here,
You're not the guy that I want to talk to.
I want somebody saying the Jets, they prove that they're
an elite team. Come on, let's plan the parade here
in New York.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Come on, man, you know we can't do that DP.
But guess what. Today's It's meat Friday.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So it's cool. Let's get some brisket, let's get some
Texas sausage.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Let's have fun, and let's crying it yesterday and then
we'll wake up Monday and we'll get back to it
to reality.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
When are you joining us for a meet Friday?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
You know what, let's plan. I'm coming up on a Friday.
I can plan to get where you are before noon,
and I think that'll be good enough. So if I
can get there before noon, we just got a plan
that day. Will I will scheduleate Friday this fall to
get to you.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Before noon, Okay, because I'm going to plan the menu
around you. Okay, no question, Okay.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
I want I want sausage, I want ribs, and I
want some brisket. I don't need any sides. I'm a
meat guy, that's all I mean. I don't need anything else.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're like al Michaels. Al Michaels can't have anything green,
He can't have parsonally on his plate. He never had
a vegetable.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You know what, there are some crazy stories about our
playboy play guys Al with the vegetables, Jim Nance with
the burnt toast. I'm really not sure which one I believe,
but I'm going to just go go with them as folklore.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Right now, all right, let's look at the big games
this weekend in the NFL. Who has a must must
win situation Baltimore.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Baltimore is oh in two and if you look at
their next three games, there's a realistic chance they could
be one in four oh and five if they don't,
like if they don't play their best football. And it's
asking a lot to go into Dallas, who's coming off
with disappointing loss to the New Orleans Saints. That to
me is gonna be you know, rarely do you get
the early season games that we say, man, that felt
(25:22):
like a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Because it's just too early in the season.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
But when you have one in one Cowboys oh and
two Ravens coming off the losses that they had, we're
gonna get I think, both teams best shot and it's
gonna be the rare occasion or in September, it's gonna
feel like December, and to me, that's must watch.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
The Eagles against the Saints got a little spice here here,
or you all in on the Saints.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I'm in on the Saints for two reasons. They are
playing the right way. The offensive line is coming off
the ball and there knocking people back. Alvin Kamara looks
like he's five years younger. Their defense led by Dennis Allen,
who's the head coach and.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
A defensive wizard.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Their defense is playing well, and so they're built the
right way upfront on both sides of the football, and
all of a sudden, DP It's kind of like Derek
Carr went to Vegas and said, to hell with it,
you know right, I'm hitting seventeen all right, the hell
with it. I'm rolling seventy eleven all the time. Because
the knock on him has been he's not a risk taker,
like he's chucked down Charlie, And all of a sudden,
(26:25):
he's throwing the football down the field to Rashid Shahi
and they're hitting fifty plus yard balls every game.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
So yeah, I'm in on the Saints because of those reasons.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Where do you stand with Carolina with the Bryce Young situation?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
You know, I've listened to all the pundits all week,
and all they've done is blame Carolina and blame the organization,
and I will admit on your show. I sat on
the NFL at the NFL Draft for ESPN, and I
put all my chips on Bryce Young because of what
I saw at Alabama, his ability to process, his ability
to be accurate, his ability to play at his size
(27:00):
because he's been small.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
All his life.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
I think I could have been wrong DP, all right,
And I know people don't like to admit it, but
I think I could have been wrong, and maybe just
maybe the kid because everything that I saw at Alabama
I haven't seen in the National Football League. I haven't
seen him be accurate, I haven't seen him be poised.
I haven't seen him look like a guy that was
playing bigger than his his stature DP. He looks small
(27:25):
man like, he looks tiny, and not only does he
look tiny, sometimes he looks afraid. And that's one thing
you can't be in the National Football League. So I
hope I'm not wrong, but I'm afraid I may be
wrong because I thought his superpower would overcome his size,
and his superpower being his accuracy, his poise, his decision making.
(27:47):
But all those things have gone away.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Eighteen games into his career, and.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
I just don't know if he can find him in Carolina.
And if he doesn't find him in Carolina, then you
go down a rabbit hole of now are you Are
you competing to be a backup or is somebody going
to give you an opportunity to be a starter or
do you have to go like Baker Mayfield and Sam
Donald go team the team, the team, or somebody will
give you a chance on a whim to be a
starting quarterback. That's a difficult path. But I truly hope
(28:15):
I'm wrong because the kid's got a great family. I
met his mom and dad in Los Angeles at the
Super Bowl, thought of the Earth people, and I truly
wish the best for the kid.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
But I'm starting to think I may.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Have been wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, I thought it was an easy, low hanging fruit
that everybody blamed the organization, blame the owner, blame the coach,
you know all of this, And I said, no, no,
let me start with the player. Yes, he's on the field,
and maybe they didn't give him weapons, it's still he's
not the first quarterback. Who's the first round pick who's
gone out there and maybe didn't have the personnel around
(28:48):
him to succeed. There's a reason why you had the
number one draft pick. But I do think this has
to be on him and he might have to go
someplace else to get another chance. Like it feels like that,
and maybe it would be best for him to get
out of there now. This is this is the follow
up question, Booker. If you're Quinn, Youwers Shador Sanders throw
(29:13):
out another quarterback who might go number one overall, and
Carolina is on the clock with the number one overall pick.
Could you see somebody pulling in Eli Manning.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Oh No, I think we would talk about it and
everybody would have a bunch of you know, radio shows
and TV shows leading up to the draft about it.
But there's only thirty two of these jobs in the
National Football League, and probably half of them already field
for the next decade. And so to say you're going
to turn it down and go somewhere else, I think
that would be fools goal. That's number one. Number two,
(29:46):
Dave Canalis, who's the head coach. It would be the
guy choosing the quarterback. He and the GM Dan Morgan.
And if you look at Dave Canalis's track record, he
helped tutor Gino. He helped tutor Baker Mayfield, so he
to work with some quarterbacks, and you've seen some of
those guys that have put the work in come out
on the other end and they're playing well.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Now.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Maybe Bryce Young, maybe he doesn't want to work with
Bryce Young because he didn't choose him. Maybe Bryce Young
just doesn't have it. And so I would give Dave
Canals the benefit of the doubt because of what I've
seen with Gino and what I've seen with Baker Mayfield.
But when somebody's going to say, hey, DP, we're going
to give you thirty five million dollars guaranteed to be
number one overall, are you going to turn it down?
(30:26):
I know you're rich, buddy, but that's something you just
it's really hard to turn down when somebody's going to
guarantee you thirty five million over four years.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I don't know if it's an aberration, but the running
stats are pretty impressive so far, and the passing touchdowns
are down considerably. It's a large enough sample signs for
you to make a declaration here.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Oh yeah, And I think it's a trend that's been
happening over the last couple of years. If you go
back toward the end of last season and now to
this season, Defensive coordinators are scared.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What I mean by that, like they don't want to
give up the big player, and.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
They finally realize that if we make this offense dance
in unison eleven guys in unison for twelve or fifteen players,
it's hard from the do Now, if you give up.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
An ad R touchdowns, it's easy.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
But if I'll just keep my two safeties back, and
I know Mail Kuyper hates the two high safety defense
he wants to outlaw, that's an that's an entirely different commers.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Maybe the conversation that's done, that's an we don't even
start with that silliness.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Maybe the worst statement I've ever had. And I love
Mail to death.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
But defensive coordinators are keeping the safeties back and they're
inviting you to run the football, and offensive coordinators are
finally saying, wait a minute, so you're going to give
me an advantageous situation to run, maybe I'll run the football.
And that's what's happening in DP now. It goes in cycles,
and sometime during the course of this season, what you're
gonna get is you're going to get a defensive coordinator
(31:53):
that says, you know what, I'm going to knock the
run out this week, and he's gonna drop that safety
down and you're gonna get one on one coverage and
you'll still have to get some deeper passes down the field.
But for right now, all the coordinators are kind of
sitting back saying, Okay, I'm going to make you drive
the football down the field.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
We're gonna play a little scared.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
And I think that's why the numbers, or at least
that's the trend between the end of last season and
right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Before I let you go, you put your left hand
up there. That finger is like, God, that's turn signal on.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Well, here's what happens when you play in the trenches.
You know, this is what I did for a living.
I don't sit behind the mic with headphones on any
barbecue on Fridays. I you know what I do. I
get out there, I put my hand in the dirt
and I go to work. And this is a small
byproduct of I played in the NFL nine years, college
football for four so thirteen years of football led to this.
(32:44):
And this is part of the worst I got so
I made it out with the knees and shoulders and everything. Okay,
but my fingers are a little crooked, but I have
to I can hold a golf club as long as
the grip is a jumbo club, and so I'll leave
them be.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But you didn't think about fixing them?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Yeah, I thought about the DP, But I've had nine sergains.
Why would i want to volunteer for another one. I
don't need it.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But can you wear gloves?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Yeah, as far as like like off gloves, Yeah, I
can work gloves, But I mean other than that, I'm not.
I'm not gonna be in any weather where I need
like cold weather gloves.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I needed to know. I don't book, book, don't do
cold weather. I told you that.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Hey, I brought this up. Collinsworth and I were talking
about this yesterday. How about we just say holding is
legal in the NFL. Offensive linemen can hold. What do
you think.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
If we're gonna say, if we're gonna outlaw the two safeties,
you may as will give the offense another advantage and
say office a lineman.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Can hold and say guess what?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
The only the only defense that we can run is
a manda man let's just do it all for the
fan so we can have seventy point games every Sunday.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Absolutely, great appearance, Booker, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
Glad to be here, and I'm gonna schedule that me Friday.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
T courtesy of Spectrum sportsnet. Otani is one of twenty
players in baseball history to have multiple home runs multiple
stolen bases in the same game. The last player to
do it is teammate Mookie Bentz. That's your play of
the day. Now, this is These are the reasons why
(35:18):
I wanted to do this, Like you're a part of this.
You get a chance to cover it, to talk about it,
talk to Dave Roberts' manager about it. I mean, it's
like you're alive when you're watching Babe Ruth and then

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Happy to meet Friday Boys. Let's go fritzy, Dan. What
a great week of shows. I thought kirkte Cousins was
fantastic and showed off as a good du vibes and
didn't he play the guitar ors like sing while he
was at Michigan State for the show? I can't remember,
but but Dan, I am really only here today to
(36:34):
talk about the fifty to fifty Club. To your point, Dan,
show Hey is the iron fists and the velvet glove.
I mean, just to see how in what show Hey
did yesterday was absolutely incredibly Hollywood. I mean, the dude
is on another planet, especially with all the hype and
the drama surrounding him to begin the season. I mean,
(36:55):
I selfishly, Dan, like I selfishly wish I would have
been in the stand that Chab is with all the
other fans having beers with Guts in La and celebrating
the greatness of show Hey. That would have been a vibe, man,
That would have been amazing. And Dan, make sure you
have Dave send you some red stitch. Pinot has some
great juice, and you guys have an awesome weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yep, thank you, Buddha. Dave Roberts says a great wine
red Stitch we talked about with him before speaking to
Gus in La. I Gus, how are you today?
Speaker 13 (37:28):
Good morning, mister Patrick, Good morning to my brother Buddha boys.
Look yesterday, I mean you were right. It was a
weird day. Everybody was walking around, you know, work, and
it was like other Dodgers are playing and it's like,
he hits forty nine, and everyone's like, oh cool, he's
gonna hit fifty tomorrow night at jabz Ravine. Everybody goes
(37:51):
about the day and then all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
I think he hit it because the staff in the
back is going crazy. You know, when baseball's been around
for almost one hundred and fifty years something like that.
Dodge has been around for about one hundred and forty
yaror something like that. And yesterday sho hal Tani accomplished
something that has never been done in the history of
(38:13):
baseball and broke the Dodgers single season all time record,
which Fritzy fellow member of the tribe Sean Green, was
an all time leader.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
M HM.
Speaker 12 (38:24):
Nicely done, and.
Speaker 13 (38:27):
It's just something to do it in a six or six.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
This is like.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Lebron breaking the all time points record while scoring, like
breaking the Laker records dropping eighty two. It's like, this
is something that will we ever see again. One of
the most iconic days of all time, Buddha. I look
forward to the bear. Tevis Revine. Boys, you have a
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So thank you, Gus, Thank you Gus. Yeah, you're trying
to find a comp for it, and maybe there just isn't.
Maybe just enjoy it instead of saying, oh, you know
what this reminds me, or it's similar to it's just
he did it. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
People are sending in on social media. Great games, and
again it's not going to touch Otani's. But one day
threw in that was kind of interesting. When Christian Latner
hit that shot against Kentucky, he was also perfect from
the field and perfect from the foul line simultaneously. Again
not to this level, not a monstrous record, but that's
an all time game.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
If he won the title on that shot. Now you're talking,
then you go ten for ten, ten for ten from
the line and you hit the shot that wins the
national title. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
The crazy thing is this is a regular season game.
There's nothing that compares to this because everything else we're
gonna compare it to is a big time postseason game.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, and you know these getaway day games, you know,
a Thursday game in Miami and you're like, oh, they're
already played. Because I usually will google Otani's stats if
I'm not able to watch the game, or I'm just
I know that he's playing, I'll just go otani stats
and then they'll pop up, just to see if he
got a stolen base, got a home run. And here
(40:07):
I'm thinking he's going to get to the stolen base.
He'll get to fifty. The question is will they pitch
to him when he has ten games now, nine games
to go. And that's why I said to Fritzie, I said,
let's get Dave roberts On because I think O'tani will
break this record over the weekend. Therefore, let me talk
to him at you know, leading up to it. And
(40:28):
then all of a sudden he explodes yesterday afternoon. Yes, Paul, Yeah,
that's on us.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
We should have saw a six for six home run
an RBI game coming.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I should have. Yeah, you're right, the great ones do,
but not one of the great ones. H Jacob in Miami, Hi, Jake, Hey, Greed.
Speaker 14 (40:46):
And Stella's happy to meet Friday. And that's that's the
thing about this game being a regular season game, is
I got to see it in Miami. It wasn't really
like a national game. Yeah, so I felt really fortunate.
I felt really fortunate just being able to watch this
game on my blow and it's crazy. I just want
to say congrats to show Hey for joining the fifty
to fifty club and being the only member I know.
(41:07):
We touched on him going six for six with the
three home runs, but he had seventeen total bases yesterday,
which is again historic, Like individually a historic game. He
was a triple shy of going for the cycle. In fact,
he was thrown out at third base stretching the double
in the third inning, and so like that could imagine
if that would have happened. Now that are going after
(41:30):
the Marlins like Skip Schumacher specifically, why didn't you walk him?
Why did you group pitches? Why didn't you challenge show
hay More? And I just want to say, of course
the Marlins group did to show Hey. Miami is not
going to miss an opportunity to open a new club.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Oh okay, all right, I'll give you a little bloop
on that one. What would you do if you had
the home run ball the fiftieth from show Hey? Find
up coming up
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Table for one, Yes, mister Otani, right this way, come
on in a lot to talk about on this meet Friday,
It's National fried Rice Day. That means Terry Yankee chicken

seven to three. DP Show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle at DP show. Good morning, if you're watching
(01:06):
on peacock, thank you for letting us into your homes
and the radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio, Fox Sports
Radio for four hundred cities carrying the program. So we
lead off with shohe going six for six ten RBIs,
three homers, two steals, and now fifty one fifty one
club And you do that on the same night. You
(01:28):
get your stolen base, you get your home runs, and
maybe maybe it's the greatest game in baseball history. Now
there's been a lot of incredible performances, but it's on
the short list because before this I didn't think about
taking inventory of what is the greatest performance in baseball
(01:51):
history the game itself. He's going for fifty to fifty,
which has never been done before. You clinch a playoff
spot in the process. How this season started. Before the
season started, we didn't even know how good he was
going to be, how healthy he was going to be.
We knew he wasn't going to pitch, he wasn't going
(02:11):
to play the outfield, he was just going to hit.
And then I think the over under for him home
runs might have been around thirty eight or thirty nine.
Well he blew past that, and then the stolen bases.
I don't think he'll ever have a season like this again.
And it's not because he's not talented enough or maybe
hitting his prime or past his prime or whatever it
(02:32):
might be. It's because if he pitches, he's not going
to be running as much as he has. This might
be one of those statistical anomalies for him hitting the
fifty and then fifty stolen bases as well, and even
he was surprised putting up these numbers this year. But
if he goes back to pitching, and I talked to
(02:53):
Dave Roberts about this yesterday about maybe Otani pitching this
season in the postseason because they need some healthy arms,
So that'll be coming up a little bit later on.
I just don't see Otani. There are guys who ran
and then all of a sudden they stopped running. And
usually he'll be you know, guys who hit home runs.
(03:13):
But you'll see some of these guys who will put
up you know, forty to fifty stolen bases, sixty stolen bases,
and then they just don't run after that. Now you're
also going to get feedback here of well, should a
designated hitter win the MVP? I think we are all
in agreement. Showhy is bigger than a dh he's the
(03:35):
most valuable player in baseball. We haven't seen this. He
lived up to the hype coming off surgery. What happened
with his former interpreter. I mean, there's been a lot
in the pressure. You're going from the American League to
the National League. It's your first year in a Dodger uniform.
He's worldwide and he's more than lift up. He's surpassed
(03:57):
the expectations, which is, you know, it's incredible. You just
think that. But you know, once again, we didn't think
there would be a fifty to fifty, but then all
of a sudden it became a reality, and he lived
up to it. Here is the call his fiftieth home
run yesterday afternoon, and.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
They pitched cout make to show, Hey, old Tony, Hey
swings hits.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
A track to laugh. This ball's back.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
There was fifty, the first player in the history of
Major League Baseball.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
To have a fifty fifty season.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He is incredible, Yes he is. But once again, if
you listen to the sound of the ball leaving the bat,
nobody hits balls like that. Played again, Marvin, just listen
to the sound, and.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
They pitched cout make a show, Hey, old Tony Hey
Swings Day.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's just it's plus. The game was in the afternoon,
it was a four to forty start in Miami. It's
one of those. And PAULI said, this is sort of
like Wilt Chamberlain in Hershey, Pennsylvania scoring one hundred. Now,
back then, nobody saw it. You were either there and
you saw it or you didn't show Hey. You had
(05:13):
to find this and then he had already homered twice
when I was like, I don't even know is it
ESPN plus, I'm trying to find this, and all of
a sudden, by the time I found it, he had
already done all the damage. There you go six for six,
three homers. You join the fifty to fifty club. That's
a day. I mean, that's a week for some people.
(05:36):
But is it the greatest game in baseball history? Now
you could go back to Don Larson throwing a perfect
game in the World Series, Okay, I mean, can can
O'tani's game be better? Like that's a perfect game for
a hitter. That's a perfect game, literally a perfect game
for a player a pitcher. I might have to take
(05:58):
it off the board. But if I looked at regters
season games, I don't know if anybody has surpassed this. Plus,
you know you're in a pennant stretch here, you clinch
a playoff spot, the pressure's there, and you go fifty
to fifty in the same game.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I'd like to.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Find, you know, if somebody has a suggestion on this
game or these games, these performances were better. I'm all
ears today, but I never thought I'd be going, what's
the greatest performance in baseball history? I didn't think we
would be doing that today. Tire rack dot Com brings

I did love this. Skip Shoemaker is the Marlins manager,
and he was asked why the Marlins didn't walk Otani.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I think that's a bad move, baseball wise, karma wise,
baseball god wise.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You go after him and see if you can get
him out.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
And I think, out of respect for the game, we're
going to go after him.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I loved it. Now, if it was a game that
was deciding if you were going to make the playoffs,
if there was more of a postseason attachment to this,
then he would have approached this differently. But I think
what he's saying is, look, you go after him. That's
you don't want to go against baseball karma where you're
pitching around somebody and they had every reason to pitch
(07:35):
around him. You don't want to be you know, oh,
who did he do it against the Marlins? And he
hit three bombs? You know when the pitcher just like
doesn't even look around, doesn't turn around and look, it's
just the sound of it. You know, they just know
here is his fifty first home run, right, he.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Has done it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's the first time Old Tony in his career has.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Had a three home run game.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Can you believe this?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Ten runs batted in for Old Tony?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
That's also a career high fifty one home runs for show.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Hey, Old Tony. Courtesy of AM five seventy LA Sports
Dodgers Radio Network. Once again, the sound of it, it's
just a crisp pop And I don't do exit velocity.
I don't do any of that. I just know wow,
and that's what it was yesterday. It was wow. And
(08:37):
it's unfortunately I didn't get to see it in real
time because I forgot that it was on at four
forty and then all of a sudden, I'm getting text messages.
I'm like, oh my god, I gotta find this, and
then all of a sudden, by the time I found it,
like ESPN Plus and I'm like, uh, nothing to see
here other than one of the great performances in baseball history.
(09:00):
Pretty incredible. We'll have a poll question. We got our
Play the Day stat of the Day, all of that forthcoming. Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
And it's even wild that Otani stayed in the game
to get fifty one. You know, he could easily have
been given a break. I think the guys missed three
games this entire season. Yes, yeah, he's not load managing.
But you can said, oh, he did history. Let's let
him rest a couple onnox.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, okay, I said to Fritzi, let's reach out to
Dave Roberts. I want to talk to Dave before Otani
and the Dodgers go back home. And that's when they
set the record. And I'm thinking, all right, you know what,
they're playing the Marlins, and you know, maybe he gets
to fifty in one of the categories. But talking to
Dave to talk about Otani's season, and I thought Otani
(09:44):
was going to break the record back home against Colorado.
So we'll play the interview with Dave Roberts that we
conducted yesterday before the game, and that'll be coming up
late next hour. All right, poll question today their seat
and O'Connor, what are you thinking? We'll get to the
football there. My Jets with a big win against the
Patriots last night as they went at twenty four to three,
(10:06):
and Aaron Rodgers looked like Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, more impressive.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
Fifty to fifty shohe Otani with home runs in stolen bases.
Albert Bell home runs in doubles.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Hmmm mmmm, it's the only person ever do that. Okay,
until you told me that, I didn't realize that Albert
Bell had done that. So how big a deal is that?
Speaker 10 (10:35):
I don't know that ultimately either of them is really
that big of a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
But wait, you don't think what Otani did is a
big deal.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
I mean, if it was a different error, Ricky Henderson
would have been a hundred hundred. Come on, now, I
do think he's defending the great stolen base king.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I look, Ronald Akunya Junior, the third had forty one
homers in seventy three stolen bases, So it is possible
that somebody else could do this. But god tany does
it in a way that's elegant, like there's a velvet
hammer to him. He just looks regal when he's up there,
(11:15):
and then it sounds violent when he swings. But do
you have any other poll questions there? There aren't a
ton of people. I think what the most doubles.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
In a season is like sixty something, Yeah, so to
hit fifty in a season is pretty good, whereas getting
fifty stolen bases compared to you know, the record is.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
One thirty eight something like that.
Speaker 10 (11:45):
Yeah, But to do the difference between those two numbers,
what I'm saying is gigantic.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Well, okay, if you're hitting, you're hitting home runs, and
if you don't hit a home run, you can hit
a double. You know, the difference between stealing a base
and hitting a home run far greater than hitting a
double or hitting a home run. I understand what you're saying.
The separation of fifty one stolen bases to one thirty
eight is huge. Yeah, but I don't think anybody cares
(12:17):
about Albert Bells. And now Albert bell had a couple
of great seasons, but I wouldn't factor that in. Is
a season better than Shoe Hee Tani's. You know, Tanis
surpassed every expectation this year, and the expectations weren't as
high as they've been when he was with the Angels.
But he did it, and then all of a sudden
there was pressure on him. Now could he do it?
(12:38):
And you do it in that fashion, that storybook stuff,
and it it really is.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Yeah, it's almost like the way he did it, having
a night like that is more impressive than the fact
that he did it. That was a hell of a
way to.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Make that happen. Yeah, you don't back into it. Yeah
that was It's like, well, is he gonna get to
is he gonna you know, claw and scratch his way
to getting fifty to fifty?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
No, he's not, no, no, And then he hits his fiftieth.
Then all of a sudden, you're like, all right, maybe
Dave Roberts takes him gone another home run?
Speaker 10 (13:10):
What was that takes him.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's the sound it makes. Actually, that's the Todd's sound. Todd, Yeah,
Todd does that.
Speaker 9 (13:20):
Yes, Paul I was trying to think of a football
comp for what O'tani did last night, and it might
be like, you run for two thousand yards in a
season as a running back, and on the day you
get it, you also break the single game rushing record
on that day. I know it's a little apples and oranges,
but it's so wild that he had the best game
of his or any other life on the same night
(13:42):
as the record. It's like when Roger Maris hit his
sixty first home run. My guess is he went one
for three or two for four. He didn't have ten
RBIs and two more home runs that day.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, if somebody's got a comp on this, then I'd
love to hear it. And maybe it's in other sports.
Maybe maybe it's I mean, I actually thought of Tiger
in two thousand when he just he boat raced everybody.
I mean, it wasn't fair, but we expected Tiger to
be great. Otani was coming off surgery, his best friend
(14:18):
was stealing money from him, wasn't going to be able
to pitch just dh Yeah, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
I'm gonna go with the Kobe eighty one point game
because how many NBA regular season games do you actually remember?
And it was the same kind of circumstance local TV
on a Sunday afternoon against the Raptors. Yeah, and everyone
still remembers that game. A regular season game.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Okay, but we're talking about the greatest performance in baseball history.
That's what I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Mark Waitton.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Four home runs, yep, hard hitting Mark Whitten. Okay, but
he wasn't reaching a milestone though. I don't think there's
a comp I don't. No one's every When you go
in and you there's the fifty to fifty club and
you look at the guest list, there's only one name
on there. That's it table for one, mister Otani. And
(15:15):
he's gonna be in there all by himself for a while. Yes.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
Yeah, Like you talk about records, I don't expect to
see again. You you explained it perfectly. If he did
pitch a season, he probably has forty five homers and
thirty stolen bases.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Maybe maybe maybe.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
Because of the non pitching thing, the unexpected benefit is
they could let him loose.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
All right, Let me take a break. I want to
talk about We'll have more on this once again, Dave
Roberts a little later on.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But Shohy certainly owned the night with what he did.
And when you get Lebron and Patrick Mahomes on social
media that they're chiming in on what they just saw
or what show Hay did, that's what's great. When you
get sort of that cross pollination with other sports watching.
That was fun to see. But the Jets rolled past
(16:02):
the Patriots. Aaron Rodgers he threw two touchdowns two hundred
and eighty one yards. And we'll size up the college
football weekend as well. If you're a Jets fan, how
great is this? You can just go, I got a
great weekend. Nothing's gonna spoil my weekend. We won. I
got Friday, I got Saturday, I got Sunday. I got
(16:26):
Monday too. Come on, yeah, get up, I got nothing
to worry about here. We won. We beat the Patriots,
Yes they do, and improved Patriots didn't look good at all,
certainly in the first half.
Speaker 12 (16:38):
Yes, yes, Tom, And it's a quality win. The Patriots
won in Cincinnati. They took the Seahawks overtime. Maybe it's
a little extra special that they beat.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
In New England.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, is this a quality like a quality start for
a pictures.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
It's a little more special than just a you know,
getting revenge on the Patriots. I think it's I think
it's nice that they.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Be Wait, so now, now, the Patriots are good.
Speaker 12 (16:59):
I'm not gonna say good. They're better than we thought.
That the Jets beat a team that won at Cincinnati
and took the overtime makes it a little more.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I think the Patriots might be worse than we thought
after the way they played last night.
Speaker 12 (17:09):
The Bengals are much worse than we over.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Let's take a break here. Booger McFarlane from the Mothership
will stop by. We'll get to phone calls. We're all excited.
Meet Friday back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the
best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of
our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing, we
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blober this name and me.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are
arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it
will continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see
it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over
Promised with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Will Ferrell stomps by a little later on as will
Dodger manager Dave Roberts get to your phone calls, settle
on a poll question. In fact, Paully has a possible
hour one poll question.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
Okay, if I caught Otani's fiftieth home run ball last night,
I would you have three options? Okay, give it back
to Otani and ask for a picture bat combination of
some sorty. But you give it back to Otani and
you get Dodgers tickets, World Serious tickets, some type of trade.
But immediately your second option you sell it this week
(19:10):
for the best offer.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
You can get.
Speaker 13 (19:11):
Okay, well it's hot.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
Third option you hold it for a decade plus and
see what the market is. Let's save it.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Save it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Can you reach out to Darren Revel Fritzy because he
this is what he does for a living, and he'll
he'll nerd out on this. He'll give us what he
would do with the home run ball. Yes, it is,
so see if we can get a hold of him.
Booger McFarlane, ESPN, NFL College Football Analyst, College football studio
analyst on ABC, Analysts for NFL Primetime with Chris Berman
(19:43):
on ESPN Plus. Booger, good to see you, do you
do you have an opinion on show Heyo Tani. Everybody
else seems too so Patrick Mahomes had something to say.
Lebron James thoughts.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
I'm just always in all DP and athletes achieve certain
heights and when things that are done that have never
been done before, to what do he goes six for
six ten RBI three home runs like that's unbelievable And
very rarely do we set expectations and the great ones
(20:18):
achieve and go above those expectations. I can only think
of a couple of a couple of guys like Tiger
Woods when he says hello world and everybody's saying he's
going to revolutionize golf. Well he did, Lebron James on
the cover Sports Illustrated at sixteen, He's the next great
thing and he was, and for show held tany to
sign a deal for seventy million dollars a year and
(20:38):
in his first year of that deal to exceed the expectations.
I'm just in awe of that because rarely do we
see that. Most of the times, our athletes underachieve and
they underwhelm us, and he definitely has not.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Well, I was wondering about this as well. Do you
have Travis Hunter at Colorado? Do you think he looks
or maybe his representatives would look at what Otani is doing,
you know, pitching and hitting. No, granted he didn't pitch
this year, but to make yourself a unicorn, Travis Hunter
has the talent to be able to do that.
Speaker 14 (21:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Can he do it full time and be that stand
out guy?
Speaker 13 (21:15):
You know?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
I don't think he's gonna be able to do it
full time. I came into this season thinking he was
a better corner than a receiver, but I've changed my mind,
Like his ball skills are unreal. I think he's a
better receiver than corner. I think he has pun return skills.
Can he do both? Sure, he could do both, but
this league, to me, it would be disrespectful to the
(21:36):
guys that show up every day and that have done
it for years and do it at a high level
on one side of the ball to say a guy
can come in and do it at a high level
on both sides. Think about some of the great athletes
we've seen. Champ Bailey. Okay, Champ Bailey was unreal. He's
a Hall of Famer, and Champ Bailey was a better
corner than receiver, So he played corner even Dion. As
great as Dion was, his primary position was cornerback. He
(21:58):
dibbled and dabbled every even in a little bit, but his
greatest position was cornerback. And so I just think it's
disrespectful to the level of athlete and the level of
professional professionalism that these guys show on the field to
think that Trafficks could come in and major at receiver
and major at corner. Can he minor in one of them? Sure,
but I don't think he's gonna be able to do both.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All Right, to Jets last night, what questions did they answer?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Not really a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
I mean, New England is not a good football team DP.
And this is probably not the take that everybody in
New York wants to hear because all of a sudden,
now the Jets are a super Bowl team. But let's
be honest, like, we don't think New England is going
to be a good team this year. They'll probably end
up with maybe three or four wins at the end
of the season. So are we really going to crown
the Jets because they beat a team that's gonna wind
up winning four games. Now, what I take from it
(22:50):
is Aaron Rodgers look healthy, Aaron Rodgers moved around, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Distributed the football. Well.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
But for me to come out and say this team
has arrived after beating a what we think is a
four win team, I can't do that. Let's see where
we are around Halloween, you know, kind of in baseball,
and you know this better than I do. In baseball,
we always say, hey, let's look at Memorial Day. It's
kind of the landmark, you know. You look at Memorial
Day and see where everybody's at, and football is Halloween. DP,
(23:17):
Let's get the Halloween. Let's put the mask on, let's
go Tricker Frea d And then let's wake up the
next morning and see where the Jets are. And I
think that will be a better depiction of who they're
gonna be than today after beating the Patriots and everybody's
gung ho in New York.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Booger, booger, you're way too intelligent, way too measured. Here,
You're not the guy that I want to talk to.
I want somebody saying the Jets, they prove that they're
an elite team. Come on, let's plan the parade here
in New York.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Come on, man, you know we can't do that DP.
But guess what. Today's It's meat Friday.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So it's cool. Let's get some brisket, let's get some
Texas sausage.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Let's have fun, and let's crying it yesterday and then
we'll wake up Monday and we'll get back to it
to reality.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
When are you joining us for a meet Friday?
Speaker 7 (24:00):
You know what, let's plan. I'm coming up on a Friday.
I can plan to get where you are before noon,
and I think that'll be good enough. So if I
can get there before noon, we just got a plan
that day. Will I will scheduleate Friday this fall to
get to you.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Before noon, Okay, because I'm going to plan the menu
around you. Okay, no question, Okay.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
I want I want sausage, I want ribs, and I
want some brisket. I don't need any sides. I'm a
meat guy, that's all I mean. I don't need anything else.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're like al Michaels. Al Michaels can't have anything green,
He can't have parsonally on his plate. He never had
a vegetable.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
You know what, there are some crazy stories about our
playboy play guys Al with the vegetables, Jim Nance with
the burnt toast. I'm really not sure which one I believe,
but I'm going to just go go with them as folklore.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Right now, all right, let's look at the big games
this weekend in the NFL. Who has a must must
win situation Baltimore.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Baltimore is oh in two and if you look at
their next three games, there's a realistic chance they could
be one in four oh and five if they don't,
like if they don't play their best football. And it's
asking a lot to go into Dallas, who's coming off
with disappointing loss to the New Orleans Saints. That to
me is gonna be you know, rarely do you get
the early season games that we say, man, that felt
(25:22):
like a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Because it's just too early in the season.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
But when you have one in one Cowboys oh and
two Ravens coming off the losses that they had, we're
gonna get I think, both teams best shot and it's
gonna be the rare occasion or in September, it's gonna
feel like December, and to me, that's must watch.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
The Eagles against the Saints got a little spice here here,
or you all in on the Saints.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I'm in on the Saints for two reasons. They are
playing the right way. The offensive line is coming off
the ball and there knocking people back. Alvin Kamara looks
like he's five years younger. Their defense led by Dennis Allen,
who's the head coach and.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
A defensive wizard.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Their defense is playing well, and so they're built the
right way upfront on both sides of the football, and
all of a sudden, DP It's kind of like Derek
Carr went to Vegas and said, to hell with it,
you know right, I'm hitting seventeen all right, the hell
with it. I'm rolling seventy eleven all the time. Because
the knock on him has been he's not a risk taker,
like he's chucked down Charlie, And all of a sudden,
(26:25):
he's throwing the football down the field to Rashid Shahi
and they're hitting fifty plus yard balls every game.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
So yeah, I'm in on the Saints because of those reasons.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Where do you stand with Carolina with the Bryce Young situation?
Speaker 7 (26:38):
You know, I've listened to all the pundits all week,
and all they've done is blame Carolina and blame the organization,
and I will admit on your show. I sat on
the NFL at the NFL Draft for ESPN, and I
put all my chips on Bryce Young because of what
I saw at Alabama, his ability to process, his ability
to be accurate, his ability to play at his size
(27:00):
because he's been small.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
All his life.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
I think I could have been wrong DP, all right,
And I know people don't like to admit it, but
I think I could have been wrong, and maybe just
maybe the kid because everything that I saw at Alabama
I haven't seen in the National Football League. I haven't
seen him be accurate, I haven't seen him be poised.
I haven't seen him look like a guy that was
playing bigger than his his stature DP. He looks small
(27:25):
man like, he looks tiny, and not only does he
look tiny, sometimes he looks afraid. And that's one thing
you can't be in the National Football League. So I
hope I'm not wrong, but I'm afraid I may be
wrong because I thought his superpower would overcome his size,
and his superpower being his accuracy, his poise, his decision making.
(27:47):
But all those things have gone away.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Eighteen games into his career, and.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
I just don't know if he can find him in Carolina.
And if he doesn't find him in Carolina, then you
go down a rabbit hole of now are you Are
you competing to be a backup or is somebody going
to give you an opportunity to be a starter or
do you have to go like Baker Mayfield and Sam
Donald go team the team, the team, or somebody will
give you a chance on a whim to be a
starting quarterback. That's a difficult path. But I truly hope
(28:15):
I'm wrong because the kid's got a great family. I
met his mom and dad in Los Angeles at the
Super Bowl, thought of the Earth people, and I truly
wish the best for the kid.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
But I'm starting to think I may.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Have been wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, I thought it was an easy, low hanging fruit
that everybody blamed the organization, blame the owner, blame the coach,
you know all of this, And I said, no, no,
let me start with the player. Yes, he's on the field,
and maybe they didn't give him weapons, it's still he's
not the first quarterback. Who's the first round pick who's
gone out there and maybe didn't have the personnel around
(28:48):
him to succeed. There's a reason why you had the
number one draft pick. But I do think this has
to be on him and he might have to go
someplace else to get another chance. Like it feels like that,
and maybe it would be best for him to get
out of there now. This is this is the follow
up question, Booker. If you're Quinn, Youwers Shador Sanders throw
(29:13):
out another quarterback who might go number one overall, and
Carolina is on the clock with the number one overall pick.
Could you see somebody pulling in Eli Manning.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Oh No, I think we would talk about it and
everybody would have a bunch of you know, radio shows
and TV shows leading up to the draft about it.
But there's only thirty two of these jobs in the
National Football League, and probably half of them already field
for the next decade. And so to say you're going
to turn it down and go somewhere else, I think
that would be fools goal. That's number one. Number two,
(29:46):
Dave Canalis, who's the head coach. It would be the
guy choosing the quarterback. He and the GM Dan Morgan.
And if you look at Dave Canalis's track record, he
helped tutor Gino. He helped tutor Baker Mayfield, so he
to work with some quarterbacks, and you've seen some of
those guys that have put the work in come out
on the other end and they're playing well.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Now.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Maybe Bryce Young, maybe he doesn't want to work with
Bryce Young because he didn't choose him. Maybe Bryce Young
just doesn't have it. And so I would give Dave
Canals the benefit of the doubt because of what I've
seen with Gino and what I've seen with Baker Mayfield.
But when somebody's going to say, hey, DP, we're going
to give you thirty five million dollars guaranteed to be
number one overall, are you going to turn it down?
(30:26):
I know you're rich, buddy, but that's something you just
it's really hard to turn down when somebody's going to
guarantee you thirty five million over four years.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I don't know if it's an aberration, but the running
stats are pretty impressive so far, and the passing touchdowns
are down considerably. It's a large enough sample signs for
you to make a declaration here.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Oh yeah, And I think it's a trend that's been
happening over the last couple of years. If you go
back toward the end of last season and now to
this season, Defensive coordinators are scared.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
What I mean by that, like they don't want to
give up the big player, and.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
They finally realize that if we make this offense dance
in unison eleven guys in unison for twelve or fifteen players,
it's hard from the do Now, if you give up.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
An ad R touchdowns, it's easy.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
But if I'll just keep my two safeties back, and
I know Mail Kuyper hates the two high safety defense
he wants to outlaw, that's an that's an entirely different commers.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Maybe the conversation that's done, that's an we don't even
start with that silliness.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Maybe the worst statement I've ever had. And I love
Mail to death.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
But defensive coordinators are keeping the safeties back and they're
inviting you to run the football, and offensive coordinators are
finally saying, wait a minute, so you're going to give
me an advantageous situation to run, maybe I'll run the football.
And that's what's happening in DP now. It goes in cycles,
and sometime during the course of this season, what you're
gonna get is you're going to get a defensive coordinator
(31:53):
that says, you know what, I'm going to knock the
run out this week, and he's gonna drop that safety
down and you're gonna get one on one coverage and
you'll still have to get some deeper passes down the field.
But for right now, all the coordinators are kind of
sitting back saying, Okay, I'm going to make you drive
the football down the field.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
We're gonna play a little scared.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
And I think that's why the numbers, or at least
that's the trend between the end of last season and
right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Before I let you go, you put your left hand
up there. That finger is like, God, that's turn signal on.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Well, here's what happens when you play in the trenches.
You know, this is what I did for a living.
I don't sit behind the mic with headphones on any
barbecue on Fridays. I you know what I do. I
get out there, I put my hand in the dirt
and I go to work. And this is a small
byproduct of I played in the NFL nine years, college
football for four so thirteen years of football led to this.
(32:44):
And this is part of the worst I got so
I made it out with the knees and shoulders and everything. Okay,
but my fingers are a little crooked, but I have
to I can hold a golf club as long as
the grip is a jumbo club, and so I'll leave
them be.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But you didn't think about fixing them?
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Yeah, I thought about the DP, But I've had nine sergains.
Why would i want to volunteer for another one. I
don't need it.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But can you wear gloves?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:09):
Yeah, as far as like like off gloves, Yeah, I
can work gloves, But I mean other than that, I'm not.
I'm not gonna be in any weather where I need
like cold weather gloves.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I needed to know. I don't book, book, don't do
cold weather. I told you that.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Hey, I brought this up. Collinsworth and I were talking
about this yesterday. How about we just say holding is
legal in the NFL. Offensive linemen can hold. What do
you think.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
If we're gonna say, if we're gonna outlaw the two safeties,
you may as will give the offense another advantage and
say office a lineman.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Can hold and say guess what?
Speaker 7 (33:46):
The only the only defense that we can run is
a manda man let's just do it all for the
fan so we can have seventy point games every Sunday.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Absolutely, great appearance, Booker, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 7 (33:59):

Speaker 8 (36:13):
Happy to meet Friday Boys. Let's go fritzy, Dan. What
a great week of shows. I thought kirkte Cousins was
fantastic and showed off as a good du vibes and
didn't he play the guitar ors like sing while he
was at Michigan State for the show? I can't remember,
but but Dan, I am really only here today to
(36:34):
talk about the fifty to fifty Club. To your point, Dan,
show Hey is the iron fists and the velvet glove.
I mean, just to see how in what show Hey
did yesterday was absolutely incredibly Hollywood. I mean, the dude
is on another planet, especially with all the hype and
the drama surrounding him to begin the season. I mean,
(36:55):
I selfishly, Dan, like I selfishly wish I would have
been in the stand that Chab is with all the
other fans having beers with Guts in La and celebrating
the greatness of show Hey. That would have been a vibe, man,
That would have been amazing. And Dan, make sure you
have Dave send you some red stitch. Pinot has some
great juice, and you guys have an awesome weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yep, thank you, Buddha. Dave Roberts says a great wine
red Stitch we talked about with him before speaking to
Gus in La. I Gus, how are you today?
Speaker 13 (37:28):
Good morning, mister Patrick, Good morning to my brother Buddha boys.
Look yesterday, I mean you were right. It was a
weird day. Everybody was walking around, you know, work, and
it was like other Dodgers are playing and it's like,
he hits forty nine, and everyone's like, oh cool, he's
gonna hit fifty tomorrow night at jabz Ravine. Everybody goes
(37:51):
about the day and then all of a sudden, it's like, hey,
I think he hit it because the staff in the
back is going crazy. You know, when baseball's been around
for almost one hundred and fifty years something like that.
Dodge has been around for about one hundred and forty
yaror something like that. And yesterday sho hal Tani accomplished
something that has never been done in the history of
(38:13):
baseball and broke the Dodgers single season all time record,
which Fritzy fellow member of the tribe Sean Green, was
an all time leader.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
M HM.
Speaker 12 (38:24):
Nicely done, and.
Speaker 13 (38:27):
It's just something to do it in a six or six.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
This is like.
Speaker 13 (38:31):
Lebron breaking the all time points record while scoring, like
breaking the Laker records dropping eighty two. It's like, this
is something that will we ever see again. One of
the most iconic days of all time, Buddha. I look
forward to the bear. Tevis Revine. Boys, you have a
great weekend.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So thank you, Gus, Thank you Gus. Yeah, you're trying
to find a comp for it, and maybe there just isn't.
Maybe just enjoy it instead of saying, oh, you know
what this reminds me, or it's similar to it's just
he did it. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
People are sending in on social media. Great games, and
again it's not going to touch Otani's. But one day
threw in that was kind of interesting. When Christian Latner
hit that shot against Kentucky, he was also perfect from
the field and perfect from the foul line simultaneously. Again
not to this level, not a monstrous record, but that's
an all time game.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
If he won the title on that shot. Now you're talking,
then you go ten for ten, ten for ten from
the line and you hit the shot that wins the
national title. Yes, Marv.
Speaker 11 (39:35):
The crazy thing is this is a regular season game.
There's nothing that compares to this because everything else we're
gonna compare it to is a big time postseason game.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Yeah, and you know these getaway day games, you know,
a Thursday game in Miami and you're like, oh, they're
already played. Because I usually will google Otani's stats if
I'm not able to watch the game, or I'm just
I know that he's playing, I'll just go otani stats
and then they'll pop up, just to see if he
got a stolen base, got a home run. And here
(40:07):
I'm thinking he's going to get to the stolen base.
He'll get to fifty. The question is will they pitch
to him when he has ten games now, nine games
to go. And that's why I said to Fritzie, I said,
let's get Dave roberts On because I think O'tani will
break this record over the weekend. Therefore, let me talk
to him at you know, leading up to it. And
(40:28):
then all of a sudden he explodes yesterday afternoon. Yes, Paul, Yeah,
that's on us.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
We should have saw a six for six home run
an RBI game coming.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I should have. Yeah, you're right, the great ones do,
but not one of the great ones. H Jacob in Miami, Hi, Jake, Hey, Greed.
Speaker 14 (40:46):
And Stella's happy to meet Friday. And that's that's the
thing about this game being a regular season game, is
I got to see it in Miami. It wasn't really
like a national game. Yeah, so I felt really fortunate.
I felt really fortunate just being able to watch this
game on my blow and it's crazy. I just want
to say congrats to show Hey for joining the fifty
to fifty club and being the only member I know.
(41:07):
We touched on him going six for six with the
three home runs, but he had seventeen total bases yesterday,
which is again historic, Like individually a historic game. He
was a triple shy of going for the cycle. In fact,
he was thrown out at third base stretching the double
in the third inning, and so like that could imagine
if that would have happened. Now that are going after
(41:30):
the Marlins like Skip Schumacher specifically, why didn't you walk him?
Why did you group pitches? Why didn't you challenge show
hay More? And I just want to say, of course
the Marlins group did to show Hey. Miami is not
going to miss an opportunity to open a new club.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Oh okay, all right, I'll give you a little bloop
on that one. What would you do if you had
the home run ball the fiftieth from show Hey? Find
up coming up
