Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's
a meat Friday. It's a pie Friday. At that I'll explain.
Come on in, stay a while. The gang's all here,
Fritzy Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly the back room, guys.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
It's a meat.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Friday, flat top smashed cheeseburgers, French fries, and pecan pie
or is it peacan pie? Now that is not affiliated
with the two pies that I'm supposed to take. I
have two pies that I'm going to take as part
of my bet that Brownie James would go in the
first round. Now you might say, well, can you take
(00:42):
the pecan pie to the face, And I said no,
I was going to choose a pumpkin pie. And so
Tyler is going to whip up a batch of pumpkin
pies there. I've got two coming at the end of
the show. But the Dan nets we'll be able to
enjoy pecan pie, French fries, It's National French Friday. And
then the flattomp smashed cheeseburgers on the trigger.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, Paul I did check the bylaws and Pcanpie is
off the board for any payback with pies.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
It's almost an abrasive material.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yes, and this is the money maker when this goes,
this show goes, we don't want to do that. If
you're watching on Peacock, you know what I'm talking about.
Thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country numbering over four hundred. A little later on,
he's the man of the hour, maybe the man of
the weekend, maybe the man of the All Star Game.
(01:31):
Paul Skeen's the Pirates rookie pitcher. He had seven innings
of no hit ball, which we will talk about that
coming up. Adam Lefko NBA on TNT. Always great to
talk to Left Goo and it looks like DNT still
holding on holding out hope they're going to get a
piece of the NBA and be able to keep everybody
together all right, eight seven seven to three. DP Show
(01:53):
email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle A DP show
operator Tyler is sitting byd take your phone calls. So
Paul Skeens was the big news yesterday afternoon. Seven no
hit innings, now six and zero, and the question is
going to be Tory Lavello is the Arizona Diamondbacks manager.
(02:14):
He is the National League manager for the All Star Game.
There are a couple of pitchers that he could pick.
I mentioned Chris Sale yesterday, who has twelve wins. Rangers
Suarez of the Phillies is also another, you know, well
documented great stats with him, So Rangers Sworez and Chris Sale,
and then you have Paul Skeenes. So Paul Skeens certainly
(02:37):
has been He's been a rocket ship here. He has
been a comet and illuminating there over Major League Baseball
and becoming sort of the face of Major League Baseball.
But well, I don't know when they make the decision,
but I know Paul Skeens will join us today. I
don't know if he's been told anything but what he's
(02:58):
done so far. And we'll discuss the strategy behind polling
him after seven innings.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We'll have that for you coming up. All right, Seaton
pull question today.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I think we start right there with Paul Skeins. Do
you leave him in the game if he's throwing a
no hitter?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Okay, I had no problem with him being pulled yesterday.
I just this is baseball now. This isn't when I
grew up, and I know it's a no hitter. Let's
say he had a one hitter going, You're going to
leave him in And the answer is no, No one
would have a problem with that. If you had a
one hitter going, this was the you gotta leavehim in.
(03:34):
He's got a no hitter going. Well, that's true. I
understand the historical perspective here, but you know, ninety nine
pitches and maybe that's where you know, we'll find out
when he joins this. But is there a pitch count?
Was there around one hundred pitches? Did it maybe kind
of play out the way the manager wanted it to?
(03:56):
And that is, hey, after seven innings, if he goes
into the eighth inning, he's got a no hitter, then
he's going to pitch the ninth inning. And that's the
biggest issue I have with that. If you put him
in the eighth and he, let's say has a twenty
two pitch inning, well, now all of a sudden, we're
up to one hundred and twenty pitches. Now I got
(04:16):
to bring him back. Do I want him to come
out for the ninth This is one outing? This is
your future here? I know, boy he had a no hitter,
but if he had a one hitter, you wouldn't have
kept him in here. But here's the thing. Here is
the manager, Derek Shelton, the Pirates manager, on why he
pulled schemes.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
He was tired.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting him.
When I went and talked to him after that, I
mean he was tired. They did a good job of
wearing him down, and I mean he gave us everything
he had.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, here's the call. Paul Skeens finishes seven no hit innings.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Here's a one owed to Freelick. So I got a
bouncer on the third.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
Hays gloves throw the first got him seven no hit
innings for Paul Schimes in Milwaukee on this Thursday afternoon,
the all star rookie of the Pirates getting a pause
from the Brewers fans. That's how well he has pitched today,
and rightfully so. He had one pitch that went one
(05:25):
O two point six. When you have pitches that are
FM radio like one O two point six Paul's schemes
radio then his uh, his sinker is ninety seven miles
an hour. It's different when you have pitchers who are
throwing a no hitter who may have a great change up.
I always go back to Johann Santana with the Mets.
(05:48):
They left him out there.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think he threw one hundred and forty pitches, but
not every pitch is between ninety.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Seven and one oh two. That's different. That's the difference. Here.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You're throwing harder, more pitches that are going to be
up towards triple digits and the you know, the wear
and tear, the stress on that. And it feels like
pitchers nowadays are programmed to pitch five innings, maybe six innings.
He hasn't pitched in the eighth inning this year. But
it's a wonderful story and it's a story that I
hope Baseball can capitalize on. And that's you have him now,
(06:23):
you put him out there, and I know you can
look at other pitchers and say, maybe they deserve this more.
This is an exhibition game. Utilize this, get some eyeballs
on this. You have thirty two first time starter or
players in the All Star game, take advantage of that,
get eyeballs on it. So maybe people will look and say, oh,
(06:45):
I didn't know about that player. On May seventeenth against
the Cubs, Schemes pitched six hitless innings. He struck out eleven,
he got pulled. Pirates won the game.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And you can't say, hey, I'm going to keep him
out of the eighth because I want him to be
ready for the All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know, the manager can't say that. But this made sense.
It just made sense. You can't go, hey, we have
a plan, always got a no hitter. Now we throw
the plan out the window. If he had a one
hitter going, this would not be a discussion. And yes,
you're having people who were in their fifties who were going,
(07:24):
what about in my day with Nolan Ryan, what about
in my day with Steve Carlton or Tom seaver A, Bob.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I understand that that's not baseball anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And they throw as hard as they can for as
long as they can. That's not the their throwers, not
necessarily pitchers. It's a different philosophy here, and that's what
you saw yesterday. The Pirates did the right thing. It's
not for our benefit. The manager and the pitcher have
to look at this and say this is long term.
(07:54):
Now you can say, wow, what's you know, twenty more pitches? Okay,
what if it's not twenty what if it's thirty five
more pitches? That's why to me it's it's not an argument. Yeah, see,
you're right, it's not an argument, but.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
It is tough to swallow sometimes the uh, you know,
seven no hit innings, eleven strikeouts under one hundred pitches
pull them, okay, but that is tough to well, you
know when you're just the sort of eye test of that.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Kind of feels like really really.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, you can be it's a smart decision. I understand
what you're saying. But you know, this is different than
what pictures did before. How many pitchers throw between ninety
seven and one oh two for seven innings? Not many,
So you have to factor that in as well. I mean,
(08:55):
look at pitchers who you know, you throw an off
speed pitcher, curveball, you're changed up schemes, is thrown between
ninety seven and one oh two.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's different.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So your ninety nine pitches are a whole lot different
than somebody else's one fifteen that they may be throwing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Would we like to see this?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's like you go to the movie theater and then
all of a sudden, there's no ending.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wait, we're supposed to see the ending of the movie. Wait,
he's supposed to stay out there. I would just argue,
if it's one hitter, nobody has a problem with this,
and would we like to see a no hitter? Yes,
we would, but we'll talk to Paul Skeins later. He'll
join us in the final hour. I don't know how
much of an argument you have when you're a rookie,
(09:38):
when your manager comes out or says, hey, I'm taking
you out, can you have much of a discussion.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I mean, I've had a pretty great two months, coach.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You skip yeah, And then if i'm his manager, I
say yeah, and I want you to have a couple
more great months this year. And if this is September
and if you're fighting for a playoff spot, you're probably
leaving him in. I go back to LSU. He pitched
more innings, he pitched late into games, but they were
trying to win the College World Series, which is what
(10:07):
they did. But I have no problem with this where
they took him out. Would i'd like to have seen it. Absolutely.
This first hour brought to you by tire rack dot

expert of the Dan Patrick Show. Go to tire rack
dot com slash Dan the easy to use Tire Decision Guide.
So you got free road hazard protection, mobile tire installation
(10:29):
tire rack dot Com The Way Tire Buying should be?
All right, So that's the pole question. Should they have
pulled Paul Skeins yesterday?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Is that what you're going to go with if you
were the Pirates manager? Okay, what would you have done?
We also could throw in there, should Paul Skins be
in the home run derby?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Because why not? Let's just get him everywhere?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, he is a great hitter, and when he was fifteen,
he went to see show Hey Otani pitch and Otani
dominated pitching and hitting.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And he went to the Ajeels game and he was.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
A really good hitter at LSU And then I'm looking
at a scouting report on Poles schemes. He probably would
have been a first or second round draft pick just
on his hitting. Now I wonder which I'll ask, do
you want to be sho heo Tani. Would the Pirates
allow you to be that because maybe you can utilize
(11:25):
that bad you're the Pirates, or they might just say, no,
he's a pitcher. We don't want to mess with anything,
all right? Would anybody have kept Paul's schemes in yesterday?
If you're the Pirates manager. So let's answer the poll
question that we're going to ask the audience to answer. Marvin,
would you have left him?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Then?
Speaker 10 (11:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I ain't Seaton now Paul.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yes, his last ning, he threw six pitches at the
seventh inning, he threw six pitches to get through it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, but if I get to the eight and he
throws twenty five pitches.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I think he's getting out for ant with one hundred
and twenty pitches.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I got to I got it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Having go to the ninth, I would probably in the
moment lean towards doing it.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Man Todd, Yeah, because of how hearty throws, I take
him out of the game.
Speaker 12 (12:07):
I'm fine with the decision that was.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, so am I It's one game. Hey, he's only
been pitching for a couple of months here dominating for
a couple of months. But well, we'll talk to Paul.
Skin shall join us coming up a little bit later
on this morning, but one O two point six, and
then he was throwing a sinker. At does a Paul
have time to sink if you're throwing it ninety seven
(12:30):
miles an hour. I'm just wondering if it's ninety seven,
it's pretty damn quick that all of a sudden you're going,
that's a sinker.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
How much is it sinking? By the way, Yeah, Paul, John.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Tuby are fantastic stats guy. Just sent me this stet.
Paul Skeens right now is fifth in a league and
pitches per start. Hunter Green of the Reds one hundred
and one pitches per start and Skeens and eleven starts
is averaging ninety seven point four pitches.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That's fifth in the league. So they're not babying.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I go back to this and I saw this article.
Skeen is fifteen, and he goes and watches Otani. Otani
made his pitching debut this is twenty eighteen. He saw
him throw a perfect game into the seventh inning, finished
with seven innings of one hit, twelve strikeout.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The scheme sees that he's fifteen years of age, and
then he eventually goes to Air Force Academy. He's a
two way player there and then transfers to LSU and
ends up winning a national championship. So he'll join us
a little bit later on. Also, we'll talk NBA with
our good buddy Adam Lefgo from TNT. Your phone calls
(13:37):
always welcome. A seven to seven three DP show. Wembledon
wraps up this weekend and USA Soccer still looking for
a new manager. Jurgen Klop said, no. I like how
they said he politely declined. Couldn't he at least you
know when a jury comes back after deliberating and they
only wait, like, you know, thirty minutes, they're like, damn,
(13:59):
that's not good, and you know they come back quickly.
That was Jurgen Klop. Come on, Jurgen, could you at
least entertain this a little bit. This is legendary and
this is this is one of the great managers in
the history of the sport. And it would have been
a great cue to get Jurgen Klop for the United States.
I wonder how they approached Hey, Jurgen, uh, Team USA.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All right, We're going to politely decline.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, politely decline feels like it's like, oh, sweetie, no, no,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
No, thank you, though you're on the top of it.
Oh no, yeah, you know that's really cute that you ask.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah, oh no, you know, thank you so much. But
I'm gonna have to say no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Sweetye, gonna politely decline.
Speaker 12 (14:41):
I appreciate your thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
This is what ew all right?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
AnyWho? AnyWho, all right, we'll take a break. Get your
phone calls coming up back after this.

Yeah.
Speaker 13 (15:08):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Toni Foosco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Packrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
What are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Shut up, Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and
Tony Fusco Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yee Play of the Day coming up your phone calls.
Settle on a poll question, what would you have done
if you're the pirate manager? Would you've pulled Poul's schemes yesterday?
Looking at some numbers, here hasn't pitched in the eighth
inning in any of his starts, and he's thrown more
than one hundred pitches three times one oh seven, one
(16:03):
o three, one oh two. And at LSU he had
games at one twenty three, one twenty one, twenty four,
one seventeen, and a lot of them in the one
ten range. But a little bit different with the number
of starts that he was going to have at LSU
compared to what he could have with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Here, they did the.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right thing in my opinion, It wasn't even a thought
for me other than well, I'd love to see how
many pitches it would take for him to throw a
no hitter against Milwaukee. Not boy, they should leave him
in there. And I think just that curiosity when you
get to see something special when you get to see
somebody dominate. And I was there when the Mets brought
up Dwight Goodin, and I got a chance to see
(16:43):
just how dominating he could be. And that year that
he won twenty four, nobody touched him. But you know,
the pirates, they have to be careful here. They have
to be careful of he's he's the star of your team.
He's the one of the faces of baseball here. And
this is a position where all of a sudden, Tommy
(17:05):
John Surgery comes up with just about everybody. Now it's
a almost foregone conclusion. It's rare when you get a
pitcher who's a pitcher. You know, if Greg Maddox came
up now the way he pitched with Atlanta, or Tom
Glavin the way he pitched, I wonder what the analytics
would say about those pitchers, like, wow, I don't know
if you can pitch like that, but they were pitchers.
(17:27):
Paul Skeens can throw hard, harder than anybody, but he
also pitches, and that's really important. But I can't get
caught up in one start because once again, if the
answer is he's given up one hit after seven, you're
going to leave him in. Then I understand that, but
you know it's a no hitter. Now you got to
you know, you got to leave him in if he
(17:48):
had given up one hit, you're not even leaving him
in for the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes, don what's the line.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
As a fan between disappointed as we refer to that
he didn't go the distance so they didn't let him
go to the distance, and being selfish and not really
worried about the longevity of the player. If especially if
you're at the game and you want to see.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
History, well, do we really care about these players? You know,
when somebody gets hurt, somebody retires, we move on. You know,
this is his career, this is the Pirates star player,
and you got to factor that in.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So yes, as a fan, but I'd like to have
seen it. Yes, because considering if you go back to
the late sixties with every pitcher I got to see
from Kofax to Gibson to Denny McClain all the way
to now, and we're talking about really the eradication of
the starting pitcher in Major League baseball. It's similar to
(18:42):
the running back in the NFL. The NFL was all
about running backs, all about running backs. You know your
quarterback was a game manager. Maybe you would have a
guy who would get a long touchdown pass. That'd be
about it. It was about running the football, it was
about great starting pitching. It's not the case anymore. So
when you have it, I want to I wanted to continue.
(19:06):
I want to see these guys go out there and
pitch seven or eight. It's not happening that much anymore.
But well, we'll talk to him a little bit later
on Jay in West Virginia. Hi Jay, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (19:20):
Hi Dan? How are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Great?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Jay?
Speaker 15 (19:23):
Im six ' two and a sexty three ten Ready,
just let me say real quick, it's a privilege to
be able to talk to you on the thing. I've
been a big fan for a long time.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Thank you, Jay.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
H Anyways, uh, here's the way I look at as
a Pirates fan. We're our bullpen is horrible, and the
way I looked at was not necessary. Can he do it?
No hitter? It was killing win a game because it
was a one nothing game and if you've seen previous games,
we're skiing as pitch the bullten has been horrible. Is
(19:58):
his first debut game. I mean after he got taken out.
They had seven consecutive walks. I think we even talked
about there a couple months ago. And that's the reason
why I look at. I need to know, here's all
great and everything, but we're going against the National League
Central and we're very horrible right now against the National
League Central. That's the way I look at and that's
(20:19):
why I would have kept him in.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, I wouldn't have. It wasn't about one win.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You have to look at it was the right decision
short term, the right decision long term in my opinion.
Uh Buddha, San Francisco, Hi Buddha, welcome back, No.
Speaker 16 (20:37):
Buddy, Happy Friday boys every day in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 14 (20:42):
Let's go baby.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
DP.
Speaker 16 (20:45):
I'm starting this call off like yesterday's start to the show.
I have worked in the sommelier for most of my life.
I'm not from Somalia, Fritzy, but uh, I just opened
up a restaurant this year DP in the Bay Area.
And if I would have hit a line on the
times of times people ask me if I watched the
Bear daily right now, it's about two and a half
(21:07):
times a day. Shout out to Seaton. I mean, I
absolutely cannot watch that show. Dan, I have a PTAESB
and I cannot handle it. I mean I live that
show every day, every single day. And Dan, I have
a special nod for all a DP nation, especially the
callers if they come visit me in Redwood City. It's
(21:28):
called Hurrica Restaurant. I have a special nod for them
when they come. And also to the big German, I
have a special invite because I think it's a great
venue for the show when you guys come for the
super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
It's on the.
Speaker 16 (21:40):
Water, we have plenty of space, and more importantly, it's
close to the super Bowl venue in and it's absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
All right, Well, thank you Buddha.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So we're already set up for not this year, but
the following year with Buddha's place somewhere in Redwood City.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yes, Paul, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Looking at the men you Dan, it's you're gonna love it.
All it is wine and oysters.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
But more do you need?
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Those are my food groups there, speaking of eating Lucas
in Texas. Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (22:12):
Dan calling in with a couple of a couple of
quick food hits and then Paul Steinsdale first off. Since
it's our state tree, hopefully I can settle the debate.
It's not pea can or peac it's puck con pecan pie.
And then I need you to dispatch the I team.
I came across the news report of some serious cheating
(22:34):
allegations in the hot dog eating contest, and no one
messes with America's sport like that.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
I got it.
Speaker 17 (22:40):
You gotta dispatch. Call up Jimmy Jefferson, Get him, get
him out, ready to go.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
We've got to get moving.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
All right, let me get Jimmy Jimmerson on the phone
right now. Jimmy, are in, he's our insider. What do
you know about this competitive eating cheating scandal?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yeah, this is one of the rare cheating scandals that
involves fourth place, not the actual winner, which is fascinating. Okay, yeah, yeah,
they apparently there's a bit of a adding an extra
plate mishap to put somebody into fourth place. I think
the prize money we're talking about is one thousand dollars,
probably the most in depth report Jimmy Jimmerson could ever give,
actually actually really okay information.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
So this is fourth place. I believe it's fourth place. Okay,
how did they cheat?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
They had they look at part of the way that
they look at how many hot dogs they've eaten is
the number of empty plates they have underneath them. And
this person is accused of taking a plate and sliding
it under adding then another empty plate.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's like when you go to conveyor belt sushi and
you take the plate off, and then they come by
and they count what kind of plates you have, and
then that's how they charge you.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Are you admitting something?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, you can't cheat, Oh no, no, no, they just
they look and they go, oh, you got four of
those plates, and three of those plates and two of
those place sor right, that's eighty one dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, conveyor belt sushi. Yes, ton, can't you.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Take some extra food off a separate plate put it
on that one plate? Then if they're just going to
charge you by plate, they're not counting how many sushi
you stole from a separate plate.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I'm not trying to rip anybody off here, Tod. Apparently
you are.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
There's like eight on a plate. I mean you grab
three from a separate plate and now you have eleven.
But they're not counting eleven. They're just counting one plate
you're getting charge for the eighth. You could scam them
like that.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But I don't want to scam them.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Fill up that one play. They're only charging me for
one plate.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I'm fine with paying for what I've eaten.
Speaker 12 (24:31):
If you're an honest upstate and general.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Of course, yes, yeah, you could.
Speaker 12 (24:35):
Put like nineteen things on this one plate. They're going
to charge me for the one point.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I'm looking at the number of pitches ninety nine miles
an hour or higher per start, and these are all
the pitchers in baseball. So Paul's schemes is lapping the field.
I mean, he throws at least ninety nine miles an
hour twenty two times each start. The next closest are
(25:05):
two pitchers who are half of that eleven times, Jose
Soriano and Ben Joyce, both of the Angels probably headed
for Tommy John surgery. Stat of the day, stat of
the day, My best stat of the day.
Speaker 18 (25:23):
Stat of the day here comes that what stat of
the day?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I hope it's sustainable.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's just to throw that hard every single outing, every
single pitch. I mean, there's a couple of anomalies here,
but it's really really rare where you're not going to
have trouble down the road. Stat of the Day brought
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yes, Marvin should.
Speaker 19 (25:57):
The Mlb'll create a playing tournament to make sure Paul
Skeins gets him.
Speaker 12 (26:03):
I've bad idea.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
He's the Zion Williamson. You're going to get him into
the postseason. Well, I just want to get him into
the All Star Game. He's already an All Star. But
and I know it's not fair Chris Sale and Ranger Suarez,
but this is different. This is an exhibition game. And
I had somebody say, well, this is kind of like
(26:25):
Caitlin Clark. You know, no, I said, Caitlin Clark is
not one of the top twelve players in the WNBA.
This is if she was. Okay, here's the parallel. If
Caitlin Clark was on the team and we argued that
she should be starting, that's the similar parallel. Paul Skens
is an All Star. Now we're arguing should he be
(26:47):
the starting pitcher? And the answer is yes, he should be.
He should be. For marketing, Caitlin Clark didn't make the team,
But if she did, then you would say, well, shouldn't
she be starting for Mark, then we can make that parallel,
But she's not on the team. Paul Skeens is on
the team and should be starting the All Star Game.
(27:08):
But this is where baseball has done some really good things,
but then they had a long stretch where they didn't
do good things promote the game. The key is getting
eyeballs on the game. And I've said this, there's certain
players who are appointment viewing, and Paul Skeen's is appointment viewing.
(27:31):
And you can't say that about too many people. Shoe
Hey Otani is certainly that. Clayton Kershaw was always appointment viewing,
and I'm talking about recent You know, there's Sir Aaron Judge.
Remember when we used to be like, hey, when's McGuire
going to be up? He'll be up next inning, And
then you would tune in just to watch McGuire hit
or Bonds or Sammy Sosa. Baseball needs that tune in factor,
(27:56):
And all of a sudden, you watch Paul Skeens, he
pitches one inning. I go back to Bo Jackson. I
mean I wanted to see Bo in the All Star Game.
What did he do? He homered, He became the MVP.
I haven't forgotten that moment, and that's what you want.
You want moments there that people can really fall in
(28:17):
love or fall in love again with the game. And
I hope that Paul Skeins gets to go out there,
because when you're the starter, you get the whole build
up there. It's about you, interview you, you're out there,
You're starting the All Star Game. And I know it
might not be Chris Sale's a great story. I thought
(28:37):
he was going to be out of baseball all the injuries,
and Chris Sale, I hope would understand this is better
for the game that you get somebody young out there
who is you know, quickly becoming one of the faces
of Major League Baseball. And I think that's what baseball
still lacks, that oh that guy like Aaron Judge. If
(29:00):
you were walking down the street and you saw Aaron Judge,
you'd go, that's Aaron Judge. We're not there where you'd
know Paul Skeins, unless you would go, you know, that
guy's got that mustache. He looks like the guy who
pitches in baseball, or you know, dates the gymnast at LSU.
And she's a bigger social media star than he is.
But that's what you need, that's what baseball needs, and
(29:22):
I hope they take advantage of that opportunity. Dennis in
Long Beach, Good morning, Dennis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 20 (29:31):
Good morning gentlemen, Happy you meet Friday, and happy Pie Day.
I'm calling to want to acknowledge the precience of your
cracked data team for yesterday's staff, which is now true.
Since the Phillies won five to one, they have now
swept the Dodgers for the first time since twenty eleven.
And a bonus stat is it's the first time since
(29:51):
two thousand and eight they swept him in Philadelphia. And
thanks for putting me on the air because a friend
heard me call and bet me lunch that the Dodgers
would win yesterday. They didn't, so.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
We were right yesterday, Dennis. Before the game started, our
great stat guy John Tuvey said that you know, the
Phillies hadn't swept the Dodgers since twenty eleven, and he
called his shot because I said, wait, they have one
more game to play. People called in and said they
haven't swept him yet. It's a three game series. They
(30:22):
got one more game, and of course the Phillies ended
up winning five to one, So shout out to John Tuvy,
the great John Tuvy with a stat that is his
stat of the day, though when you consider that's a
cold shot right there. Andrew and Washington, Good morning Andrew,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Good morning Dan, and I thank for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
Happy meet Friday. Yeah, that's a pretty good stat of
the day if you can go ahead and for Seed,
that's sort of like having that book and back to
the future to know which bets to place in the future.
But one more thing to add on to that. The
Phillies led that whole three game series except for in
the first inning of the first game, which just ended
in a zero zero tied at any so, they dominated,
(31:03):
and they are the best team in the NL, but
they also have the fourth highest payroll, which is different
because the best team in the AL right now, the
Guardians have the fourth lowest payroll in Major League Baseball.
But going off of the National French Fry Day, I
had a maybe a question for the room. Do you
guys not type a fry, but do you guys enjoy
(31:24):
just a classic salted fry or is there a favorite
seasoning that you guys like on a fry.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I like it simple. I like it just.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I don't need steak fries. I don't need curly fries.
I don't need waffle fries. If I'm going to have fries,
keep it simple. I'm good with that fast food fries.
I'm great with just a little sprinkling of salt on there.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I'm good to go. Yeah, see, no disrespect. We haven't
mentioned crinkle cut. Oh quick cool? I think should be
represented in this conversation. Youah, just some salt crunking and
some ketchup, maybe crinkle fire. Nobody's more excited about this
topic than Fritz.
Speaker 12 (32:03):
Really am Are you a tater tots guy? Or are
you disappointed?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
If?
Speaker 12 (32:06):
Like, oh, I would have rather that fren?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Can we just stick with French fries?
Speaker 12 (32:10):
I just want to know what you think about tater tots.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
No, what is It's National French Fries, But whenever I
see ten, I'm like, I would have preferred a white tater.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Thought it's National French Fry Day.
Speaker 12 (32:20):
Just asking your thoughts, Yes, just getting my opinion that
I was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
No, I don't like tater tots because they remind me
of my lunches.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
When I was in great schools. They were terrible, A
thin piece of bolooney on a piece and they were soggy. No,
not a tater tot guy.
Speaker 12 (32:39):
But stick with the topic. Yeah, I jumped a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Hey, would you take in Paul's schemes out of the game?
Who do you think is gonna win Wimbledon?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
No? I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 12 (32:51):
Was it that drastic? Maybe it's still on the potato
side family.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Extreme differently shaped mush potatoes, but it's it's not a
French fry.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
They'll go back to the therapist.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
I think I got all that that upset over the
tater talk comment and your flashbacks to your lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
You know what, I'll go back to the therapist if
you start going to a therapist.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
How about that?
Speaker 12 (33:15):
How do you know I'm not already saying no, you're not.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
You're not because I don't.
Speaker 12 (33:20):
Listen to them, just like, hey, don't write some comment
for you? What do you know about me? You say
the same thing to all the people laying on the couch.
You don't know me.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
That's unlucky. Who who lays on a couch or lies
on a couch not do that anymore? I don't. I
never did. In movies they do, yeah, but I never
did that.
Speaker 12 (33:37):
You zoom with the therapist and get the saved.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
You can do that.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
Yes, that as helpful, though it's being like in the
room with them when the shades down or whatever they do.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Still infinitely more helpful than not doing anything at all.
Speaker 12 (33:51):
You need to stop obsessing and you're just talking.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
You're just talking to somebody.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
I do wonder at every person.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I know, we're not doing this. We're not making fun
of their therapy here, not doing that. That's what you
want to do right now.
Speaker 12 (34:04):
I'm like fun of therapy.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
I'm just saying sometimes they'll say things that you can
get from the horoscope in the newspaper. It's like that
can kind of fit for everybody, but everyone. I did
once to go to therapy. I had like some anxiety
issues and I went for a little while. I tried
a couple of you Hey, I'm glad they cleared those up.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
I tried.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
I tried a couple, I tried a couple of meds.
There was a period of time where I was like
sweating a lot, and I was just very It's like
having panic attacks like at work and stuff. I had
some issues there, Yeah, I'm not ashamed to say that.
And I learned some coping skills.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How long? How long did you go?
Speaker 12 (34:35):
A couple of months? Maybe like once or twice a
week for a few months, and then I'm like, I
think I got this.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
I'll do some data rate and sit by their conditioner
and I could call myself that I don't eve.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
And your takeaway from that was basically no different than
the daily horoscope that you get out of the newspaper.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
It was a little better than the hard scrup I
felt like I was getting something out of it because
I could see his certificates on the wall, So I
think this guy must know what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
How about we take a break? Play the days next
Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp Oh my God,
the Play of the day.
Speaker 16 (35:16):
My God, play this is the play of the day.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Three to one swung. I'd rip down the right field
mine that is in there for a base hit.
Speaker 18 (35:27):
It'll go to the corner castianos around second, heading to third.
Ball picked up by Pies on the track. Her sending
Castianos will be no throw home. The throw to third
is late. It's a triple for Brandon marsh three to one.
Phillies get the run back.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
That's courtesy of the Phillies Radio Network. Phillies outscored the
Dodgers nineteen to five in the series. They led every
inning except the first inning of the first game, which
ended in a scoreless time. That's your play of the day.
Play of the day on this Friday is brought to
you by King Sawaiian. They want you to slider Sunday
and there there is no wrong combination. Whatever you do,
(36:03):
make it a slider Sunday. Thanks to King Sawin update
the poll results seat and if you can, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We got up there.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
If you were the Pirates manager and Paul Skeins is
throwing a no hitter, you would stick to the plan
or let them pitch. Right now, sixty four percent of
the audience are letting them pitch.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Okay, not surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Ok I know this is bigger picture and certainly not
fair to the moment. But you know, we talk about
show hey Otani when he was with the Angels. You
wanted him in the playoffs. He'll be in the playoffs
with the Dodgers. But then you have certain players where
you go, am I going to see that guy in
a big moment? And I can't help but think Paul's schemes.
(36:41):
But the Pirates will we see him in a playoff
game anytime soon? And they have some young talent there,
But I just you need players playing in playoff games.
That's how reputations are formed. And when the best players
in baseball, or at least some of the best players
in baseball, haven't been on that big stage, that's where
(37:03):
it hurts the sport because look at Lebron or Jordan.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
How did they become? Lebron and Jordan? All the great
players magic.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I mean, Mike Trout might be the best player in
baseball or one of the best players. We're just not
seeing him in a playoff game. He's had three. Imagine
if he was playing in a different place where he
was on and let's say Philadelphia or New York, Los
Angeles with the Dodgers, like you're that's when we see
you in the big that's when everybody sees you. You
(37:34):
can watch, you know, the Angels play during the regular
season and go, that guy's really good. But Jeter became
Jeter because he was playing in playoff games and he
performed in playoff games. And that's what you need. Your
your sport needs your stars to play in big games.
That's what you know. Once again, that's where legacies are form.
(37:56):
How many times do we go, remember when he was
in the World Series, Remember the NBA Finals, When there's
always that moment it feels like with great players where
you recall what they did on a big stage. Uh
Al in Atlanta, Good morning Al, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Good morning Dan?
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Having me Friday.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Thank you thanks taking my call.
Speaker 19 (38:20):
First thing, you don't got to worry about Chris Sao
pitching in the All Star Game. He's throwing on Sunday
for the Braves, so he's not even eligible to pitch
in the All Star Game. And I was calling in
to talk about Paul Skins here in Atlanta. With comcasts,
we have a problem with the Diamond sports media groups
who can't watch the Braves on TV. And when Schemes
(38:41):
was pitching against the Braves, I was listening on the
radio and I can.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Hear the pitches before they hit them.
Speaker 19 (38:47):
Min like the man knows how to pitch and he
can throw. Like that's such a rarity in today's game.
Speaker 10 (38:54):
It's so great.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
All right, well, thank you, Al. I've mentioned it before,
but it's worth mentioning again. When I went to see
Doc Gooden pitch against Dennis Martinez in an afternoon game
at Shay Stadium, I could hear. I could hear Doc
Gooden's fastball. I saw Nolan Ryan pitch, I could hear
like it's such a it's such a strange sound to
(39:18):
hear because you're not used to hearing a pitch.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
You hear it hit the catcher's myth.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
But there's certain guys it's like I've talked about when
the ball leaves Otani's bat, it's just different. There's certain
pitchers that you could just hear this and then you
hear that bang right into the catcher's myth. And if
I'm a player, if I'm a hitter, I can I
can hear the pitch and then I hear it hit
(39:43):
the catcher's s myth. It's got to be intimidating, got
to be like, damn, that's fast. Mark in Virginia, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (39:55):
Hey, Dan, first time, long time six two calling in
with the biggest blunders by the Dan Ats. As you
near the end of your show in three and a
half years, I'll I don't have anything for Marvin Seaton,
for Fritzy, it's obviously cutting in on Marv Albert's interview repeatedly.
(40:23):
For you, Dan, it's telling Hall of Famer Ray Allen
how to shoot the basketball. But the best, by far.
I hate to do this to you, Paulie. Dan might
be the voice of the show, You're the backbone of
the show, but Paulie, you telling actor Kevin Costner that
(40:46):
he had peaked is by far the biggest blunder.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
All right, well, you know what, we have plenty of
time to add to that list. That's the great thing.
We have three and a half more years to add
more blunders. Yes, Marvin, Oh my blunder is easy. Samuel
at the Super Bowl. Yeah, but I kind of put
you in a tricky spot there. You're a Niner fan,
and I thought it might be something that was on
your bucket list.
Speaker 12 (41:09):
Yeah. Not after the first seven minutes, like that's.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
It, Lord knows, I didn't want to ask him any
more questions, And I thought you know what, let me
see if Marvin could get to him all right, one
hour in the books, our good buddy Adam Lefgo, host
of the NBA on TNT, Will Jonas coming up, and
Paul Skeins of the Pirates. Now does he get pulled
halfway through the interview?
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Todd? I sure, hope
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We did it. We made it to a Friday. It's
a meat Friday. It's a pie Friday. At that I'll explain.
Come on in, stay a while. The gang's all here,
Fritzy Seaton, Marv, Paulie, yours truly the back room, guys.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
It's a meat.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Friday, flat top smashed cheeseburgers, French fries, and pecan pie
or is it peacan pie? Now that is not affiliated
with the two pies that I'm supposed to take. I
have two pies that I'm going to take as part
of my bet that Brownie James would go in the
first round. Now you might say, well, can you take
(00:42):
the pecan pie to the face, And I said no,
I was going to choose a pumpkin pie. And so
Tyler is going to whip up a batch of pumpkin
pies there. I've got two coming at the end of
the show. But the Dan nets we'll be able to
enjoy pecan pie, French fries, It's National French Friday. And
then the flattomp smashed cheeseburgers on the trigger.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, Paul I did check the bylaws and Pcanpie is
off the board for any payback with pies.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
It's almost an abrasive material.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yes, and this is the money maker when this goes,
this show goes, we don't want to do that. If
you're watching on Peacock, you know what I'm talking about.
Thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country numbering over four hundred. A little later on,
he's the man of the hour, maybe the man of
the weekend, maybe the man of the All Star Game.
(01:31):
Paul Skeen's the Pirates rookie pitcher. He had seven innings
of no hit ball, which we will talk about that
coming up. Adam Lefko NBA on TNT. Always great to
talk to Left Goo and it looks like DNT still
holding on holding out hope they're going to get a
piece of the NBA and be able to keep everybody
together all right, eight seven seven to three. DP Show
(01:53):
email address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handle A DP show
operator Tyler is sitting byd take your phone calls. So
Paul Skeens was the big news yesterday afternoon. Seven no
hit innings, now six and zero, and the question is
going to be Tory Lavello is the Arizona Diamondbacks manager.
(02:14):
He is the National League manager for the All Star Game.
There are a couple of pitchers that he could pick.
I mentioned Chris Sale yesterday, who has twelve wins. Rangers
Suarez of the Phillies is also another, you know, well
documented great stats with him, So Rangers Sworez and Chris Sale,
and then you have Paul Skeenes. So Paul Skeens certainly
(02:37):
has been He's been a rocket ship here. He has
been a comet and illuminating there over Major League Baseball
and becoming sort of the face of Major League Baseball.
But well, I don't know when they make the decision,
but I know Paul Skeens will join us today. I
don't know if he's been told anything but what he's
(02:58):
done so far. And we'll discuss the strategy behind polling
him after seven innings.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
We'll have that for you coming up. All right, Seaton
pull question today.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
I think we start right there with Paul Skeins. Do
you leave him in the game if he's throwing a
no hitter?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Okay, I had no problem with him being pulled yesterday.
I just this is baseball now. This isn't when I
grew up, and I know it's a no hitter. Let's
say he had a one hitter going, You're going to
leave him in And the answer is no, No one
would have a problem with that. If you had a
one hitter going, this was the you gotta leavehim in.
(03:34):
He's got a no hitter going. Well, that's true. I
understand the historical perspective here, but you know, ninety nine
pitches and maybe that's where you know, we'll find out
when he joins this. But is there a pitch count?
Was there around one hundred pitches? Did it maybe kind
of play out the way the manager wanted it to?
(03:56):
And that is, hey, after seven innings, if he goes
into the eighth inning, he's got a no hitter, then
he's going to pitch the ninth inning. And that's the
biggest issue I have with that. If you put him
in the eighth and he, let's say has a twenty
two pitch inning, well, now all of a sudden, we're
up to one hundred and twenty pitches. Now I got
(04:16):
to bring him back. Do I want him to come
out for the ninth This is one outing? This is
your future here? I know, boy he had a no hitter,
but if he had a one hitter, you wouldn't have
kept him in here. But here's the thing. Here is
the manager, Derek Shelton, the Pirates manager, on why he
pulled schemes.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
He was tired.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
It really didn't have anything to do with the pitch count.
Everybody makes it about pitch counts. It was about where
he was at. It was about trusting your eyes, trusting him.
When I went and talked to him after that, I
mean he was tired. They did a good job of
wearing him down, and I mean he gave us everything
he had.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, here's the call. Paul Skeens finishes seven no hit innings.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Here's a one owed to Freelick. So I got a
bouncer on the third.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
Hays gloves throw the first got him seven no hit
innings for Paul Schimes in Milwaukee on this Thursday afternoon,
the all star rookie of the Pirates getting a pause
from the Brewers fans. That's how well he has pitched today,
and rightfully so. He had one pitch that went one
(05:25):
O two point six. When you have pitches that are
FM radio like one O two point six Paul's schemes
radio then his uh, his sinker is ninety seven miles
an hour. It's different when you have pitchers who are
throwing a no hitter who may have a great change up.
I always go back to Johann Santana with the Mets.
(05:48):
They left him out there.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think he threw one hundred and forty pitches, but
not every pitch is between ninety.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Seven and one oh two. That's different. That's the difference. Here.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You're throwing harder, more pitches that are going to be
up towards triple digits and the you know, the wear
and tear, the stress on that. And it feels like
pitchers nowadays are programmed to pitch five innings, maybe six innings.
He hasn't pitched in the eighth inning this year. But
it's a wonderful story and it's a story that I
hope Baseball can capitalize on. And that's you have him now,
(06:23):
you put him out there, and I know you can
look at other pitchers and say, maybe they deserve this more.
This is an exhibition game. Utilize this, get some eyeballs
on this. You have thirty two first time starter or
players in the All Star game, take advantage of that,
get eyeballs on it. So maybe people will look and say, oh,
(06:45):
I didn't know about that player. On May seventeenth against
the Cubs, Schemes pitched six hitless innings. He struck out eleven,
he got pulled. Pirates won the game.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And you can't say, hey, I'm going to keep him
out of the eighth because I want him to be
ready for the All Star Game.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know, the manager can't say that. But this made sense.
It just made sense. You can't go, hey, we have
a plan, always got a no hitter. Now we throw
the plan out the window. If he had a one
hitter going, this would not be a discussion. And yes,
you're having people who were in their fifties who were going,
(07:24):
what about in my day with Nolan Ryan, what about
in my day with Steve Carlton or Tom seaver A, Bob.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I understand that that's not baseball anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And they throw as hard as they can for as
long as they can. That's not the their throwers, not
necessarily pitchers. It's a different philosophy here, and that's what
you saw yesterday. The Pirates did the right thing. It's
not for our benefit. The manager and the pitcher have
to look at this and say this is long term.
(07:54):
Now you can say, wow, what's you know, twenty more pitches? Okay,
what if it's not twenty what if it's thirty five
more pitches? That's why to me it's it's not an argument. Yeah, see,
you're right, it's not an argument, but.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
It is tough to swallow sometimes the uh, you know,
seven no hit innings, eleven strikeouts under one hundred pitches
pull them, okay, but that is tough to well, you
know when you're just the sort of eye test of that.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Kind of feels like really really.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, you can be it's a smart decision. I understand
what you're saying. But you know, this is different than
what pictures did before. How many pitchers throw between ninety
seven and one oh two for seven innings? Not many,
So you have to factor that in as well. I mean,
(08:55):
look at pitchers who you know, you throw an off
speed pitcher, curveball, you're changed up schemes, is thrown between
ninety seven and one oh two.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's different.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
So your ninety nine pitches are a whole lot different
than somebody else's one fifteen that they may be throwing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Would we like to see this?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It's like you go to the movie theater and then
all of a sudden, there's no ending.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Wait, we're supposed to see the ending of the movie. Wait,
he's supposed to stay out there. I would just argue,
if it's one hitter, nobody has a problem with this,
and would we like to see a no hitter? Yes,
we would, but we'll talk to Paul Skeins later. He'll
join us in the final hour. I don't know how
much of an argument you have when you're a rookie,
(09:38):
when your manager comes out or says, hey, I'm taking
you out, can you have much of a discussion.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I mean, I've had a pretty great two months, coach.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You skip yeah, And then if i'm his manager, I
say yeah, and I want you to have a couple
more great months this year. And if this is September
and if you're fighting for a playoff spot, you're probably
leaving him in. I go back to LSU. He pitched
more innings, he pitched late into games, but they were
trying to win the College World Series, which is what
(10:07):
they did. But I have no problem with this where
they took him out. Would i'd like to have seen it. Absolutely.
This first hour brought to you by tire rack dot

expert of the Dan Patrick Show. Go to tire rack
dot com slash Dan the easy to use Tire Decision Guide.
So you got free road hazard protection, mobile tire installation
(10:29):
tire rack dot Com The Way Tire Buying should be?
All right, So that's the pole question. Should they have
pulled Paul Skeins yesterday?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Is that what you're going to go with if you
were the Pirates manager? Okay, what would you have done?
We also could throw in there, should Paul Skins be
in the home run derby?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Because why not? Let's just get him everywhere?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, he is a great hitter, and when he was fifteen,
he went to see show Hey Otani pitch and Otani
dominated pitching and hitting.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
And he went to the Ajeels game and he was.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
A really good hitter at LSU And then I'm looking
at a scouting report on Poles schemes. He probably would
have been a first or second round draft pick just
on his hitting. Now I wonder which I'll ask, do
you want to be sho heo Tani. Would the Pirates
allow you to be that because maybe you can utilize
(11:25):
that bad you're the Pirates, or they might just say, no,
he's a pitcher. We don't want to mess with anything,
all right? Would anybody have kept Paul's schemes in yesterday?
If you're the Pirates manager. So let's answer the poll
question that we're going to ask the audience to answer. Marvin,
would you have left him?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Then?
Speaker 10 (11:43):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I ain't Seaton now Paul.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yes, his last ning, he threw six pitches at the
seventh inning, he threw six pitches to get through it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, but if I get to the eight and he
throws twenty five pitches.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I think he's getting out for ant with one hundred
and twenty pitches.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I got to I got it.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Having go to the ninth, I would probably in the
moment lean towards doing it.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Man Todd, Yeah, because of how hearty throws, I take
him out of the game.
Speaker 12 (12:07):
I'm fine with the decision that was.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, so am I It's one game. Hey, he's only
been pitching for a couple of months here dominating for
a couple of months. But well, we'll talk to Paul.
Skin shall join us coming up a little bit later
on this morning, but one O two point six, and
then he was throwing a sinker. At does a Paul
have time to sink if you're throwing it ninety seven
(12:30):
miles an hour. I'm just wondering if it's ninety seven,
it's pretty damn quick that all of a sudden you're going,
that's a sinker.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
How much is it sinking? By the way, Yeah, Paul, John.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Tuby are fantastic stats guy. Just sent me this stet.
Paul Skeens right now is fifth in a league and
pitches per start. Hunter Green of the Reds one hundred
and one pitches per start and Skeens and eleven starts
is averaging ninety seven point four pitches.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
That's fifth in the league. So they're not babying.
Speaker 12 (12:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I go back to this and I saw this article.
Skeen is fifteen, and he goes and watches Otani. Otani
made his pitching debut this is twenty eighteen. He saw
him throw a perfect game into the seventh inning, finished
with seven innings of one hit, twelve strikeout.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
The scheme sees that he's fifteen years of age, and
then he eventually goes to Air Force Academy. He's a
two way player there and then transfers to LSU and
ends up winning a national championship. So he'll join us
a little bit later on. Also, we'll talk NBA with
our good buddy Adam Lefgo from TNT. Your phone calls
(13:37):
always welcome. A seven to seven three DP show. Wembledon
wraps up this weekend and USA Soccer still looking for
a new manager. Jurgen Klop said, no. I like how
they said he politely declined. Couldn't he at least you
know when a jury comes back after deliberating and they
only wait, like, you know, thirty minutes, they're like, damn,
(13:59):
that's not good, and you know they come back quickly.
That was Jurgen Klop. Come on, Jurgen, could you at
least entertain this a little bit. This is legendary and
this is this is one of the great managers in
the history of the sport. And it would have been
a great cue to get Jurgen Klop for the United States.
I wonder how they approached Hey, Jurgen, uh, Team USA.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
All right, We're going to politely decline.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
Yeah, politely decline feels like it's like, oh, sweetie, no, no,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
No, thank you, though you're on the top of it.
Oh no, yeah, you know that's really cute that you ask.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah, oh no, you know, thank you so much. But
I'm gonna have to say no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Sweetye, gonna politely decline.
Speaker 12 (14:41):
I appreciate your thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
This is what ew all right?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
AnyWho? AnyWho, all right, we'll take a break. Get your

As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Toni Foosco Show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Packrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 12 (15:21):
What are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 13 (15:28):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 13 (15:34):
Shut up, Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and
Tony Fusco Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yee Play of the Day coming up your phone calls.
Settle on a poll question, what would you have done
if you're the pirate manager? Would you've pulled Poul's schemes yesterday?
Looking at some numbers, here hasn't pitched in the eighth
inning in any of his starts, and he's thrown more
than one hundred pitches three times one oh seven, one
(16:03):
o three, one oh two. And at LSU he had
games at one twenty three, one twenty one, twenty four,
one seventeen, and a lot of them in the one
ten range. But a little bit different with the number
of starts that he was going to have at LSU
compared to what he could have with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Here, they did the.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Right thing in my opinion, It wasn't even a thought
for me other than well, I'd love to see how
many pitches it would take for him to throw a
no hitter against Milwaukee. Not boy, they should leave him
in there. And I think just that curiosity when you
get to see something special when you get to see
somebody dominate. And I was there when the Mets brought
up Dwight Goodin, and I got a chance to see
(16:43):
just how dominating he could be. And that year that
he won twenty four, nobody touched him. But you know,
the pirates, they have to be careful here. They have
to be careful of he's he's the star of your team.
He's the one of the faces of baseball here. And
this is a position where all of a sudden, Tommy
(17:05):
John Surgery comes up with just about everybody. Now it's
a almost foregone conclusion. It's rare when you get a
pitcher who's a pitcher. You know, if Greg Maddox came
up now the way he pitched with Atlanta, or Tom
Glavin the way he pitched, I wonder what the analytics
would say about those pitchers, like, wow, I don't know
if you can pitch like that, but they were pitchers.
(17:27):
Paul Skeens can throw hard, harder than anybody, but he
also pitches, and that's really important. But I can't get
caught up in one start because once again, if the
answer is he's given up one hit after seven, you're
going to leave him in. Then I understand that, but
you know it's a no hitter. Now you got to
you know, you got to leave him in if he
(17:48):
had given up one hit, you're not even leaving him
in for the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yes, don what's the line.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
As a fan between disappointed as we refer to that
he didn't go the distance so they didn't let him
go to the distance, and being selfish and not really
worried about the longevity of the player. If especially if
you're at the game and you want to see.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
History, well, do we really care about these players? You know,
when somebody gets hurt, somebody retires, we move on. You know,
this is his career, this is the Pirates star player,
and you got to factor that in.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So yes, as a fan, but I'd like to have
seen it. Yes, because considering if you go back to
the late sixties with every pitcher I got to see
from Kofax to Gibson to Denny McClain all the way
to now, and we're talking about really the eradication of
the starting pitcher in Major League baseball. It's similar to
(18:42):
the running back in the NFL. The NFL was all
about running backs, all about running backs. You know your
quarterback was a game manager. Maybe you would have a
guy who would get a long touchdown pass. That'd be
about it. It was about running the football, it was
about great starting pitching. It's not the case anymore. So
when you have it, I want to I wanted to continue.
(19:06):
I want to see these guys go out there and
pitch seven or eight. It's not happening that much anymore.
But well, we'll talk to him a little bit later
on Jay in West Virginia. Hi Jay, what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (19:20):
Hi Dan? How are you doing today?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Great?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Jay?
Speaker 15 (19:23):
Im six ' two and a sexty three ten Ready,
just let me say real quick, it's a privilege to
be able to talk to you on the thing. I've
been a big fan for a long time.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Thank you, Jay.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
H Anyways, uh, here's the way I look at as
a Pirates fan. We're our bullpen is horrible, and the
way I looked at was not necessary. Can he do it?
No hitter? It was killing win a game because it
was a one nothing game and if you've seen previous games,
we're skiing as pitch the bullten has been horrible. Is
(19:58):
his first debut game. I mean after he got taken out.
They had seven consecutive walks. I think we even talked
about there a couple months ago. And that's the reason
why I look at. I need to know, here's all
great and everything, but we're going against the National League
Central and we're very horrible right now against the National
League Central. That's the way I look at and that's
(20:19):
why I would have kept him in.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, I wouldn't have. It wasn't about one win.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
You have to look at it was the right decision
short term, the right decision long term in my opinion.
Uh Buddha, San Francisco, Hi Buddha, welcome back, No.
Speaker 16 (20:37):
Buddy, Happy Friday boys every day in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 14 (20:42):
Let's go baby.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
DP.
Speaker 16 (20:45):
I'm starting this call off like yesterday's start to the show.
I have worked in the sommelier for most of my life.
I'm not from Somalia, Fritzy, but uh, I just opened
up a restaurant this year DP in the Bay Area.
And if I would have hit a line on the
times of times people ask me if I watched the
Bear daily right now, it's about two and a half
(21:07):
times a day. Shout out to Seaton. I mean, I
absolutely cannot watch that show. Dan, I have a PTAESB
and I cannot handle it. I mean I live that
show every day, every single day. And Dan, I have
a special nod for all a DP nation, especially the
callers if they come visit me in Redwood City. It's
(21:28):
called Hurrica Restaurant. I have a special nod for them
when they come. And also to the big German, I
have a special invite because I think it's a great
venue for the show when you guys come for the
super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
It's on the.
Speaker 16 (21:40):
Water, we have plenty of space, and more importantly, it's
close to the super Bowl venue in and it's absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
All right, Well, thank you Buddha.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So we're already set up for not this year, but
the following year with Buddha's place somewhere in Redwood City.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yes, Paul, I'm.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Looking at the men you Dan, it's you're gonna love it.
All it is wine and oysters.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
But more do you need?
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Those are my food groups there, speaking of eating Lucas
in Texas. Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Hey?
Speaker 17 (22:12):
Dan calling in with a couple of a couple of
quick food hits and then Paul Steinsdale first off. Since
it's our state tree, hopefully I can settle the debate.
It's not pea can or peac it's puck con pecan pie.
And then I need you to dispatch the I team.
I came across the news report of some serious cheating
(22:34):
allegations in the hot dog eating contest, and no one
messes with America's sport like that.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
I got it.
Speaker 17 (22:40):
You gotta dispatch. Call up Jimmy Jefferson, Get him, get
him out, ready to go.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
We've got to get moving.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
All right, let me get Jimmy Jimmerson on the phone
right now. Jimmy, are in, he's our insider. What do
you know about this competitive eating cheating scandal?
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Yeah, this is one of the rare cheating scandals that
involves fourth place, not the actual winner, which is fascinating. Okay, yeah, yeah,
they apparently there's a bit of a adding an extra
plate mishap to put somebody into fourth place. I think
the prize money we're talking about is one thousand dollars,
probably the most in depth report Jimmy Jimmerson could ever give,
actually actually really okay information.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
So this is fourth place. I believe it's fourth place. Okay,
how did they cheat?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
They had they look at part of the way that
they look at how many hot dogs they've eaten is
the number of empty plates they have underneath them. And
this person is accused of taking a plate and sliding
it under adding then another empty plate.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's like when you go to conveyor belt sushi and
you take the plate off, and then they come by
and they count what kind of plates you have, and
then that's how they charge you.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Are you admitting something?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, you can't cheat, Oh no, no, no, they just
they look and they go, oh, you got four of
those plates, and three of those plates and two of
those place sor right, that's eighty one dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, conveyor belt sushi. Yes, ton, can't you.
Speaker 11 (24:04):
Take some extra food off a separate plate put it
on that one plate? Then if they're just going to
charge you by plate, they're not counting how many sushi
you stole from a separate plate.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I'm not trying to rip anybody off here, Tod. Apparently
you are.
Speaker 11 (24:14):
There's like eight on a plate. I mean you grab
three from a separate plate and now you have eleven.
But they're not counting eleven. They're just counting one plate
you're getting charge for the eighth. You could scam them
like that.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But I don't want to scam them.
Speaker 12 (24:25):
Fill up that one play. They're only charging me for
one plate.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I'm fine with paying for what I've eaten.
Speaker 12 (24:31):
If you're an honest upstate and general.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Of course, yes, yeah, you could.
Speaker 12 (24:35):
Put like nineteen things on this one plate. They're going
to charge me for the one point.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I'm looking at the number of pitches ninety nine miles
an hour or higher per start, and these are all
the pitchers in baseball. So Paul's schemes is lapping the field.
I mean, he throws at least ninety nine miles an
hour twenty two times each start. The next closest are
(25:05):
two pitchers who are half of that eleven times, Jose
Soriano and Ben Joyce, both of the Angels probably headed
for Tommy John surgery. Stat of the day, stat of
the day, My best stat of the day.
Speaker 18 (25:23):
Stat of the day here comes that what stat of
the day?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I hope it's sustainable.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
It's just to throw that hard every single outing, every
single pitch. I mean, there's a couple of anomalies here,
but it's really really rare where you're not going to
have trouble down the road. Stat of the Day brought
you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yes, Marvin should.
Speaker 19 (25:57):
The Mlb'll create a playing tournament to make sure Paul
Skeins gets him.
Speaker 12 (26:03):
I've bad idea.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
He's the Zion Williamson. You're going to get him into
the postseason. Well, I just want to get him into
the All Star Game. He's already an All Star. But
and I know it's not fair Chris Sale and Ranger Suarez,
but this is different. This is an exhibition game. And
I had somebody say, well, this is kind of like
(26:25):
Caitlin Clark. You know, no, I said, Caitlin Clark is
not one of the top twelve players in the WNBA.
This is if she was. Okay, here's the parallel. If
Caitlin Clark was on the team and we argued that
she should be starting, that's the similar parallel. Paul Skens
is an All Star. Now we're arguing should he be
(26:47):
the starting pitcher? And the answer is yes, he should be.
He should be. For marketing, Caitlin Clark didn't make the team,
But if she did, then you would say, well, shouldn't
she be starting for Mark, then we can make that parallel,
But she's not on the team. Paul Skeens is on
the team and should be starting the All Star Game.
(27:08):
But this is where baseball has done some really good things,
but then they had a long stretch where they didn't
do good things promote the game. The key is getting
eyeballs on the game. And I've said this, there's certain
players who are appointment viewing, and Paul Skeen's is appointment viewing.
(27:31):
And you can't say that about too many people. Shoe
Hey Otani is certainly that. Clayton Kershaw was always appointment viewing,
and I'm talking about recent You know, there's Sir Aaron Judge.
Remember when we used to be like, hey, when's McGuire
going to be up? He'll be up next inning, And
then you would tune in just to watch McGuire hit
or Bonds or Sammy Sosa. Baseball needs that tune in factor,
(27:56):
And all of a sudden, you watch Paul Skeens, he
pitches one inning. I go back to Bo Jackson. I
mean I wanted to see Bo in the All Star Game.
What did he do? He homered, He became the MVP.
I haven't forgotten that moment, and that's what you want.
You want moments there that people can really fall in
(28:17):
love or fall in love again with the game. And
I hope that Paul Skeins gets to go out there,
because when you're the starter, you get the whole build
up there. It's about you, interview you, you're out there,
You're starting the All Star Game. And I know it
might not be Chris Sale's a great story. I thought
(28:37):
he was going to be out of baseball all the injuries,
and Chris Sale, I hope would understand this is better
for the game that you get somebody young out there
who is you know, quickly becoming one of the faces
of Major League Baseball. And I think that's what baseball
still lacks, that oh that guy like Aaron Judge. If
(29:00):
you were walking down the street and you saw Aaron Judge,
you'd go, that's Aaron Judge. We're not there where you'd
know Paul Skeins, unless you would go, you know, that
guy's got that mustache. He looks like the guy who
pitches in baseball, or you know, dates the gymnast at LSU.
And she's a bigger social media star than he is.
But that's what you need, that's what baseball needs, and
(29:22):
I hope they take advantage of that opportunity. Dennis in
Long Beach, Good morning, Dennis, what's on your mind?
Speaker 20 (29:31):
Good morning gentlemen, Happy you meet Friday, and happy Pie Day.
I'm calling to want to acknowledge the precience of your
cracked data team for yesterday's staff, which is now true.
Since the Phillies won five to one, they have now
swept the Dodgers for the first time since twenty eleven.
And a bonus stat is it's the first time since
(29:51):
two thousand and eight they swept him in Philadelphia. And
thanks for putting me on the air because a friend
heard me call and bet me lunch that the Dodgers
would win yesterday. They didn't, so.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
We were right yesterday, Dennis. Before the game started, our
great stat guy John Tuvey said that you know, the
Phillies hadn't swept the Dodgers since twenty eleven, and he
called his shot because I said, wait, they have one
more game to play. People called in and said they
haven't swept him yet. It's a three game series. They
(30:22):
got one more game, and of course the Phillies ended
up winning five to one, So shout out to John Tuvy,
the great John Tuvy with a stat that is his
stat of the day, though when you consider that's a
cold shot right there. Andrew and Washington, Good morning Andrew,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Good morning Dan, and I thank for taking my call.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
Happy meet Friday. Yeah, that's a pretty good stat of
the day if you can go ahead and for Seed,
that's sort of like having that book and back to
the future to know which bets to place in the future.
But one more thing to add on to that. The
Phillies led that whole three game series except for in
the first inning of the first game, which just ended
in a zero zero tied at any so, they dominated,
(31:03):
and they are the best team in the NL, but
they also have the fourth highest payroll, which is different
because the best team in the AL right now, the
Guardians have the fourth lowest payroll in Major League Baseball.
But going off of the National French Fry Day, I
had a maybe a question for the room. Do you
guys not type a fry, but do you guys enjoy
(31:24):
just a classic salted fry or is there a favorite
seasoning that you guys like on a fry.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
I like it simple. I like it just.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I don't need steak fries. I don't need curly fries.
I don't need waffle fries. If I'm going to have fries,
keep it simple. I'm good with that fast food fries.
I'm great with just a little sprinkling of salt on there.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I'm good to go. Yeah, see, no disrespect. We haven't
mentioned crinkle cut. Oh quick cool? I think should be
represented in this conversation. Youah, just some salt crunking and
some ketchup, maybe crinkle fire. Nobody's more excited about this
topic than Fritz.
Speaker 12 (32:03):
Really am Are you a tater tots guy? Or are
you disappointed?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
If?
Speaker 12 (32:06):
Like, oh, I would have rather that fren?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Can we just stick with French fries?
Speaker 12 (32:10):
I just want to know what you think about tater tots.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
No, what is It's National French Fries, But whenever I
see ten, I'm like, I would have preferred a white tater.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Thought it's National French Fry Day.
Speaker 12 (32:20):
Just asking your thoughts, Yes, just getting my opinion that
I was supposed to.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
No, I don't like tater tots because they remind me
of my lunches.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
When I was in great schools. They were terrible, A
thin piece of bolooney on a piece and they were soggy. No,
not a tater tot guy.
Speaker 12 (32:39):
But stick with the topic. Yeah, I jumped a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Hey, would you take in Paul's schemes out of the game?
Who do you think is gonna win Wimbledon?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
No? I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 12 (32:51):
Was it that drastic? Maybe it's still on the potato
side family.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Extreme differently shaped mush potatoes, but it's it's not a
French fry.
Speaker 12 (33:03):
They'll go back to the therapist.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
I think I got all that that upset over the
tater talk comment and your flashbacks to your lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
You know what, I'll go back to the therapist if
you start going to a therapist.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
How about that?
Speaker 12 (33:15):
How do you know I'm not already saying no, you're not.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
You're not because I don't.
Speaker 12 (33:20):
Listen to them, just like, hey, don't write some comment
for you? What do you know about me? You say
the same thing to all the people laying on the couch.
You don't know me.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
That's unlucky. Who who lays on a couch or lies
on a couch not do that anymore? I don't. I
never did. In movies they do, yeah, but I never
did that.
Speaker 12 (33:37):
You zoom with the therapist and get the saved.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
You can do that.
Speaker 12 (33:39):
Yes, that as helpful, though it's being like in the
room with them when the shades down or whatever they do.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Still infinitely more helpful than not doing anything at all.
Speaker 12 (33:51):
You need to stop obsessing and you're just talking.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
You're just talking to somebody.
Speaker 12 (33:55):
I do wonder at every person.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
I know, we're not doing this. We're not making fun
of their therapy here, not doing that. That's what you
want to do right now.
Speaker 12 (34:04):
I'm like fun of therapy.
Speaker 11 (34:05):
I'm just saying sometimes they'll say things that you can
get from the horoscope in the newspaper. It's like that
can kind of fit for everybody, but everyone. I did
once to go to therapy. I had like some anxiety
issues and I went for a little while. I tried
a couple of you Hey, I'm glad they cleared those up.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
I tried.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
I tried a couple, I tried a couple of meds.
There was a period of time where I was like
sweating a lot, and I was just very It's like
having panic attacks like at work and stuff. I had
some issues there, Yeah, I'm not ashamed to say that.
And I learned some coping skills.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How long? How long did you go?
Speaker 12 (34:35):
A couple of months? Maybe like once or twice a
week for a few months, and then I'm like, I
think I got this.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
I'll do some data rate and sit by their conditioner
and I could call myself that I don't eve.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
And your takeaway from that was basically no different than
the daily horoscope that you get out of the newspaper.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
It was a little better than the hard scrup I
felt like I was getting something out of it because
I could see his certificates on the wall, So I
think this guy must know what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
How about we take a break? Play the days next
Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp Oh my God,
the Play of the day.
Speaker 16 (35:16):
My God, play this is the play of the day.
Speaker 12 (35:22):
Check this out.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Three to one swung. I'd rip down the right field
mine that is in there for a base hit.
Speaker 18 (35:27):
It'll go to the corner castianos around second, heading to third.
Ball picked up by Pies on the track. Her sending
Castianos will be no throw home. The throw to third
is late. It's a triple for Brandon marsh three to one.
Phillies get the run back.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
That's courtesy of the Phillies Radio Network. Phillies outscored the
Dodgers nineteen to five in the series. They led every
inning except the first inning of the first game, which
ended in a scoreless time. That's your play of the day.
Play of the day on this Friday is brought to
you by King Sawaiian. They want you to slider Sunday
and there there is no wrong combination. Whatever you do,
(36:03):
make it a slider Sunday. Thanks to King Sawin update
the poll results seat and if you can, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
We got up there.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
If you were the Pirates manager and Paul Skeins is
throwing a no hitter, you would stick to the plan
or let them pitch. Right now, sixty four percent of
the audience are letting them pitch.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Okay, not surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Ok I know this is bigger picture and certainly not
fair to the moment. But you know, we talk about
show hey Otani when he was with the Angels. You
wanted him in the playoffs. He'll be in the playoffs
with the Dodgers. But then you have certain players where
you go, am I going to see that guy in
a big moment? And I can't help but think Paul's schemes.
(36:41):
But the Pirates will we see him in a playoff
game anytime soon? And they have some young talent there,
But I just you need players playing in playoff games.
That's how reputations are formed. And when the best players
in baseball, or at least some of the best players
in baseball, haven't been on that big stage, that's where
(37:03):
it hurts the sport because look at Lebron or Jordan.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
How did they become? Lebron and Jordan? All the great
players magic.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
I mean, Mike Trout might be the best player in
baseball or one of the best players. We're just not
seeing him in a playoff game. He's had three. Imagine
if he was playing in a different place where he
was on and let's say Philadelphia or New York, Los
Angeles with the Dodgers, like you're that's when we see
you in the big that's when everybody sees you. You
(37:34):
can watch, you know, the Angels play during the regular
season and go, that guy's really good. But Jeter became
Jeter because he was playing in playoff games and he
performed in playoff games. And that's what you need. Your
your sport needs your stars to play in big games.
That's what you know. Once again, that's where legacies are form.
(37:56):
How many times do we go, remember when he was
in the World Series, Remember the NBA Finals, When there's
always that moment it feels like with great players where
you recall what they did on a big stage. Uh
Al in Atlanta, Good morning Al, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Good morning Dan?
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Having me Friday.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Thank you thanks taking my call.
Speaker 19 (38:20):
First thing, you don't got to worry about Chris Sao
pitching in the All Star Game. He's throwing on Sunday
for the Braves, so he's not even eligible to pitch
in the All Star Game. And I was calling in
to talk about Paul Skins here in Atlanta. With comcasts,
we have a problem with the Diamond sports media groups
who can't watch the Braves on TV. And when Schemes
(38:41):
was pitching against the Braves, I was listening on the
radio and I can.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Hear the pitches before they hit them.
Speaker 19 (38:47):
Min like the man knows how to pitch and he
can throw. Like that's such a rarity in today's game.
Speaker 10 (38:54):
It's so great.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
All right, well, thank you, Al. I've mentioned it before,
but it's worth mentioning again. When I went to see
Doc Gooden pitch against Dennis Martinez in an afternoon game
at Shay Stadium, I could hear. I could hear Doc
Gooden's fastball. I saw Nolan Ryan pitch, I could hear
like it's such a it's such a strange sound to
(39:18):
hear because you're not used to hearing a pitch.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
You hear it hit the catcher's myth.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
But there's certain guys it's like I've talked about when
the ball leaves Otani's bat, it's just different. There's certain
pitchers that you could just hear this and then you
hear that bang right into the catcher's myth. And if
I'm a player, if I'm a hitter, I can I
can hear the pitch and then I hear it hit
(39:43):
the catcher's s myth. It's got to be intimidating, got
to be like, damn, that's fast. Mark in Virginia, Hi, Mark,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9 (39:55):
Hey, Dan, first time, long time six two calling in
with the biggest blunders by the Dan Ats. As you
near the end of your show in three and a
half years, I'll I don't have anything for Marvin Seaton,
for Fritzy, it's obviously cutting in on Marv Albert's interview repeatedly.
(40:23):
For you, Dan, it's telling Hall of Famer Ray Allen
how to shoot the basketball. But the best, by far.
I hate to do this to you, Paulie. Dan might
be the voice of the show, You're the backbone of
the show, but Paulie, you telling actor Kevin Costner that
(40:46):
he had peaked is by far the biggest blunder.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
All right, well, you know what, we have plenty of
time to add to that list. That's the great thing.
We have three and a half more years to add
more blunders. Yes, Marvin, Oh my blunder is easy. Samuel
at the Super Bowl. Yeah, but I kind of put
you in a tricky spot there. You're a Niner fan,
and I thought it might be something that was on
your bucket list.
Speaker 12 (41:09):
Yeah. Not after the first seven minutes, like that's.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
It, Lord knows, I didn't want to ask him any
more questions, And I thought you know what, let me
see if Marvin could get to him all right, one
hour in the books, our good buddy Adam Lefgo, host
of the NBA on TNT, Will Jonas coming up, and
Paul Skeins of the Pirates. Now does he get pulled
halfway through the interview?
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Todd? I sure, hope
