Every Batman needs a Robin, Michael led Scotti, Lebron had Wade,
(01:08):
Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, Shaq and Kobe. You can go
down through history and it feels like there was a
batman and there was a Robin. Ok See already has
their batman and the MVP and Shay Gilgis Alexander, and
last night it became really clear to the well probably
the NBA population watching this OKAC team, probably for the
(01:31):
first time, Jalen Williams is a sidekick of sorts, but
he's his star in his own right. He was third
team All NBA. He went to Santa Clara, He had
scholarship offers to Hofstra Santa Clara, one other school in
there and that's it. He had forty points last night,
(01:52):
biggest game of his young career. So you got Shay
Gilgess who's twenty five, Williams, who's twenty three, and I'm
afraid of the bright lights last night he was the
best player on the floor for a good portion of
that game. Now, I know we get caught up in
big names, and rightfully so if you start to look
(02:12):
at micheln Scotting Lebron and Kyrie, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry,
the performance last night between Shay Gilgis, Alexander and Jalen
Williams is one of the best in the last fifty years.
So hear me out on this. They combined to score
or assist on one hundred and three points. That's the
(02:33):
most by a duo in an NBA Finals game in
the last five decades. The stat of the Day brought
to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
(02:54):
The Dan Patrick Show. But eight minutes and thirty seconds
to go, it's a two point game. Aliburton is banged up.
He didn't score a basket, he had four points. He
couldn't even get shots up. And then you started to wonder,
and I wondered at halftime would he even play in
the second half? Because you can live to play another game.
You have another game back in Indiana. You're guaranteed that
(03:16):
no matter what happened last night. That's what I didn't
understand with Rick Carlile, and we can talk about how
great a coach he is. I did not agree with that,
but I'd like to know more, and maybe more will
come out because the next game is on Thursday. The
relationship that the coach has with his star player. Did
the star player want to come out? Does the coach
(03:38):
say to him, I want you to come out because
you don't want to take out your best player or
one of your best players. But he was hurting you.
And TJ McConnell was wonderful when he came in in
the third quarter. He actually took over. Here is Rick
Carlyle talking about Tyrese Haliburton.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
He's not one hundred percent. It's pretty clear. I don't
think he's gonna miss the next game. And you know,
we were concerned at halftime, and uh, he insisted on playing,
and I thought, I thought he made a lot of
really good things happened in the second half. But he's
he's not He's not one hundred percent, you know, and
there's a lot of guys in the series that aren't.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, but this was really pronounced. You could see that
he was struggling. But here's Haliburton talking about deciding to play.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I mean the NBA Finals.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
It's the finals, man. I've worked my whole life to
be here, and I want to be out there to compete,
you know, on my teammates. Anyway I can. You know,
I was not great tonight by any means, but you know,
it's not really a thought of mine to to not
play here. You know, if I if I can, uh,
you know, walk, then I want to play, so you
(04:47):
know they understand that, and uh, you know is what
it is, and uh, you know, gotta be ready to
go for game six.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
You can be hurt and you can be injured. If
you're injured, then you shouldn't play. If he's just banged
up a little bit, then okay. I understand he wants
to go out there, but at some point you have
to realize they're going to take advantage of him being
out there. And the fact that TJ McConnell was playing
so well kind of exacerbated that. I didn't want Haliburton
(05:14):
out there, and I want him to be great in
game six. I don't want him to be average in
game five and then average in Game six. I would
have shut him down at halftime, said it at the time,
don't play him now. They had a big lead. They
did cut that lead. Then it's a two point game
with eight and a half to go. But he was
not a factor and nobody was able to stop Jalen
(05:35):
Williams or Shay Gilgess. I mean Gilgers had an oh
by the Way game when he had thirty two and
ten assists, like an OH by the Way game thirty
one and ten oh, by the way, talk about efficient,
talk about where that He's one of those players where
you go he had how many certain guys you go, wait,
(05:56):
he only had that many. He's one of those guys
where you go, wait, you had that many and it's
all two pointers. Him and Williams, like this is a
box score out of the nineties where you got a
couple of three pointers and that's it. They're just scoring.
But Indiana still has another game back at home on
(06:16):
Thursday night, and I hope we get to see the
best of Halliburton because he has had an incredible playoff run,
one that will remember for a long long time, and
you could put him up there with clutch shooters, clutch players.
But last night I needed to help him help himself
and not play the second half of the game. Now
(06:37):
you might be saying, all right, we're going to lose
this game, but you were only down two with eight
and a half to go, and that's where you have
to rely on your other players. Haliburton wasn't able to,
and that's where you ask your team to step up.
And they made it interesting and then all of a sudden,
a minute and a half to play, and then all
the starters came out. I was like, okay, yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
If there's a team that would do something like that
where hey, Tyrese, you take a backseat, will handle this,
it's the Pacers because you have a bunch of those
guys that are willing to step up in those moments.
A Lah and them hart A, TJ. McConnell, May Smith,
those guys will they would be ready to step up.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, ob top And I mean they do have players,
but okay, okay, see play defense. Everybody plays defense. It's remarkable.
I mean even SGA plays defense. But like you have
to that. That's and lou Dort doesn't care Hartenstein doesn't
care about They don't care about offense. Now you want
(07:40):
me to choot a three, Dort can do that. But
to be able to have a team that understands how
that team works sometimes that's the biggest hurdle because everybody
wants to be a star. And if I would have
said to you prior to letting you know that Jalen
Williams was, you know, third team all in B you
never would have thought that. Yeah, Marvin, he's kind of got.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
A Chris Middleton feel to him, where it's like Okay, man,
this guy is so good. But if you're not a
hardcore NBA fan, you have no idea who this is?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Third team o NBA. Now, they might reward OKAC because
you have sixty eight wins. Okay sga, Well, he's not
doing it alone. And then sometimes you'll single out somebody
else on the team. Jalen Williams showed you last night.
Hey I'm good. Huh, I'm only twenty three years of age. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
I saw some people complaining on social media about the
refs not calling more fouls against OKC. But it feels
like Okac is that old. Remember the Seattle Seahawks defense
foul on every possession, you know, rough people up on
every possession. You can't call them all, and it's working
so far.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So the thunderbeat the Pacers one twenty to one oh nine.
You got hockey coming up tonight, the Oilers at the Panthers.
Panthers a chance to go back to back. Seaton Poll question,
which series would you rather go? Seven games? NBA? N HL?
(09:14):
I think if I knew that we were going to
have Edmonton win, then I would love for it to
go seven. Yeah, I knew who the winner was definitely
so yeah, Okay, see Indiana, if you said we got
a game seven, it doesn't matter who wins. I'm fine
(09:34):
with that. But with hockey, if if Edmonton had a
chance to bring the Cup back to Canada, that'd be
pretty special. It's just Florida. They knew how to win.
Yash And by the way, Dylan, our resident gambler, said
that the over under. I think they've gone over with
(09:54):
goals scored every single game. I think it's six and
a half goals coming up tonight, which means it's going
to go over again. To go over, that's what Dylan goes.
That means it's going to go under, right, I go,
I have no idea. You gamble, I don't. Yes, yes,
I thought you were.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Supposed to bet against trends as a gambler because trends
don't last.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
But if it's lasted five games.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Then you're I think an analytics person would tell you
it's has to even out because of and you'd bet
against it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think what other pole questions you have seenen?
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (10:35):
Well, I kind of wanted to stick with hockey a
little bit, but this might be over our skates, if
you know what.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
See what I said there? Yeah, I did. Unfortunately Connor McDavid,
Oh no, did I just get gone? No, it was
that was a polite gong. That's crazy. I've been accused
of premature gonging before.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
I feel I'm going to appeal that premature gonging.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Okay, I don't know that that was gong work, you know,
I was just seeing if it was hooked up, ready
to go, ready to go, anticipating gong. Yes, the guy
next to you is going to get gong today, guaranteed. Yeah,
that makes sense, that makes sense. But you did lokate
JJ spawn for the show, so you're already you're you're
one up. It's plus one for you too.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Does that distance yourself from the gong a little perfect?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
A little bit? Yeah, a little bit? All right? What
else do you have? S uh?
Speaker 10 (11:36):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Let me jump ahead to one that Todd has so
I could get a gong in here real.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Quick, okay, make it.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
Todd is very upset about this, well not maybe not
quite very upset, but it's his lead story for sure.
Making no attempt to get to avoid getting hit by
a pitch to ruin an opponent's perfect game is dot
dot dot.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, Gauge Wood, nice name. Arkansas threw a no hitter,
missed out on a perfect game as he hit a batter,
and then Fritzi was all upset that the batter didn't
get out of the way. I thought one batter didn't
get out of the way, but they called him out.
But the other one just got hit by the pitch. Todd.
Speaker 11 (12:14):
Yeah, but in the eighth inning, the one that lost
the perfect game was the hit by pitch of the
foot and the guy kind of just stood there like
a statue. And I know the ball dipped in and
it kind of curved, and maybe he didn't see it
coming in.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I guess you want to get on base any way
you can. It's the World Series and all that.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
But I've seen people get out of the way all
the time. I had a problem, but he didn't make
any effort to move his foot a little bit. That's
the way you're gonna get on base and ruin some guys.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
Yes, Paul, So, the Murray State Racers batter who is
in an elimination game in a college World Series that
his team has never been to before and the eighth inning,
should not do everything he can to get on base.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
I would think in a situation like that, it would
be almost instinctual if a ball's coming out of you.
I know it's not coming out of his head or anything,
but if the ball looks like it's about to hit you,
instinctually you kind of dance out of the way a
little bit. He just stayed perfectly still watching the ball
hit his foot, and he was perfect high, happy to.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Ruin his perfect game and take his base.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay, I didn't love I know of all the things
that happened. Otani took the mound last night, you got
a hockey tonight. Spawn is going to be on the show. Okay,
see on the verge of winning a title for the
first time, Taj like, I can't believe. Did you see
that hitter? He didn't even get out.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
Of the way.
Speaker 11 (13:19):
So Tony went five innings and struck out twelve and
gave up one hit, And then I'd be like.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Wow, Tony, the things that bother you, Yes, this is
starting to bother me. This is the last situation where
you should help out a pitcher in a perfect game.
This is the opposite of a regular season game where
you wouldn't do anything to get on base.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
During a perfect game.
Speaker 11 (13:39):
I'm just thinking, like, of all the unwritten rules in baseball,
that to me would be in that group, standing perfectly
still as a ball which was not thrown particularly hard,
dips into your toe and you're like, oh man, there
goes the perfect air.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It was a wild curve ball, though maybe the hitter
was fooled a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Look like he had amplet I'm one person. I'm not
saying everyone should.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I know you're one person, but you speak for like
fifteen I'm.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Thinking I was personally bothered by it. That says.
Speaker 11 (14:07):
I mean, I'm not trying to convince everyone else that
that's a long thing to do.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I know. But they it was weak.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
It was weak. It was bush league, and that's the story.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I had no problem with it whatever. I remember Johnny
Bench tried to bunt in the seventh inning of game
against Kenny Holtzman of the Cubs, and Holtzman threw a
no hitter, and I remember I was with guys and
they're like, that's so cheap to try and go what
are you talking about. Wait, I'm supposed to just go
up there and swing and help you out here.
Speaker 11 (14:36):
But then someone trying to bunt off Nolan, Ryan th ruin, Yes,
and no, Ryan let him know what he thought about that.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, okay, but that's a regular season game. This is
the College World Series time, the elimination game for Murray State.
Anything it takes.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Y'll plug for him. The good job. Nice to get
you footing there. Yeah, see Ali rally monkey.
Speaker 13 (15:00):
Well.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
I think part of the problem is that when you
play baseball, you have to stay in the batter's box.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You have to stay in on a pitch. Right.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
If you start getting out of the way every time
there's a breaking ball coming towards you, you're the chances
of you you're going to strike out way more than
you get hit by a pitch.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But you can dance out of the way of a
pitch that's inside. You can. Yeah, I mean, guys get
out of the way of you know, pitches that get
away from pitchers. They do. But do you think it
was bush league what happened where they?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
No, okay, Marvin. Do you think it was Bush League
that the batter you know stayed in there to get
on base? No?
Speaker 9 (15:40):
Okay, I give him way more credit. You ever got
hit by a baseball, especially in your foot, it hurts
it hurts like hell, it kills.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
The pitcher should be more mad at himself.
Speaker 11 (15:49):
And I know I only pitch baseball Little League, so
I'm not making any comparison other than to say if
I was in that position, I'd first be mad at
myself that I'd let it get that close to a batter,
But right behind that, I'd be like, dude, me, you know,
I wouldn't approach the batter, But in my head, I'd
be like, I can't beif you couldn't move.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It, you're going to get on base getting hit by
a pitch, or you're going to strike out.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
To me, it's not that black of whe It would
depend on the situation.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
No, this situation is game. Is it just a regular
season game? Is a World Series game? I think yesterday's situation.
Speaker 11 (16:19):
Instinctually, I would have tried to get out of the
way if I see the ball curving towards my foot. Instinctual,
without even thinking about perfect games or push the league
or what I would be, I would always look to
get out of the way of.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Getting hit by a pitch. That would just be an instinct.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
But you could get on base.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I understand what you're saying, but it's also.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Like it's elimination.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
This guy's dominating us the only way perfectly still and
let this ball hit bad?
Speaker 14 (16:38):
Is true?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That is true.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Yes, In the following inning, would hit a batsman and
the batter dipped his elbow. At least the umpires called
him for dipping his elbow into the pitch. That's example,
according to the umpires, of a guy not getting out
of the way so much that he went into the
pitch and they called him out for the.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Umpire missed one.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You could have moved your foot out of the way
into that.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
That guy should have been out to alrighty.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
We accomplished absolutely nothing right there. But Todd has set
the tone once again starting the show. Come on, let's
rally here, Let's come on, let's go, let's let's get
together here. Bush not really around.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Smattering. We've had a lot of smatterings.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Okaypping, you know, it's been a long week. It's Friday.
Just get through the show.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I pas made it feel like it should be Friday
or any because.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It really is yesterday. You made it feel like it
was Friday, so you can imagine. Now it feels like
it's Saturday.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It feels like we're working on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Right, how about we take a break.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
It sounds like some kind of like like a line
you could write to your wife or something that goes wrong, like, Babe,
you make every day feel like it's Friday, but for
somebody to hear it doesn't work.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Or something got a very negative connotation the way he said.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
How about we take a break here? All right, take
a break, Let's regroup, regroup. We'll be back after this.

listen live hockey tonight. NBA will be off until Thursday.
Back in Indiana, got a quick NBA quiz, a brand
new poll question. People are piling on Fritzy, calling him
(18:23):
soft because he had a problem with the Murray State
batter who didn't get out of the way of a
pitch as he was trying to break up a perfect
game and elimination game against Arkansas yesterday College World Series. Yeah,
I'm kind of firing through the channels and all of
a sudden, I see zero and zero and zero, and
(18:44):
I go all right. Sixth inning, seventh inning, let the
dan Netz know, I go ESPN. I didn't even say it,
just ESPN.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And then that way you tune in, you're not quite
sure what you're going to get, and all of a
sudden we had ourselves a perfect game going on. Then
it turned into a no hitter. First time since nineteen
sixty that we've had a no hitter in the College
World Series. Remarkable. And pitchers don't go nine innings. I mean,
that's that's what's unheard of. But you'll find that though
(19:15):
in the World Series where they're going to pitch them
a little bit longer. Because you have a couple of
pitchers and you know it's an elimination game. You want
to make sure that you're going to hold on and advance.
All right, let's do the brand new poll question. Then
we'll do the NBA quiz, and then we'll get some
phone calls in here. All right, Paul uh Seaton actually
has the poll. Oh okay, oh, somebody just said, hey,
(19:37):
Fretzi herm Edwards is on the line. You play to
win the game?
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
There? All right, see what do you have?
Speaker 9 (19:48):
Should the Murray State hitter down three runs in the
eighth inning of a college World Series elimination game. They've
done more to help Gauge Wood of Arkansas get a
perfect game.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I wrote it.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
Right now, Seventy five percent of this audience say no,
he should not have done that. Twenty five percent say yes, okay.
Kind of leading the witness with that poll qust only
four votes on that, So that means one person voted yes, okay,
three voted no.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Todd may be in fact that one.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Person all right, it is possible, right, okay, Now we're
up to one hundred votes. Now, right now, ninety four
percent say no, you play to win the.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Game, Todd.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Get out of the way of the pitch.
Speaker 12 (20:26):
No.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
No, So you're saying, in a split second he should
realize the historic pitching situation and do more to help
the pitcher.
Speaker 11 (20:34):
Yes, I thought it was in a split second. It
is like I'm about to get by a pitch. I
mean to get out of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
The instinct is just did not get hit by a pitch.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, but you get on base. Remember Walt's as good
as a hit. Well, getting hit is as good as
a hit. Two.
Speaker 11 (20:46):
That's not the bad news Bears with the coaches like
lean into it, you suck, You're not able to get
on base unless you.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The ball hits against that guy. Everybody sucked against him.
Yesterday he had nineteen strikeouts.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Yeah see, I really believe that one of the uh
I think you know a sports you eventually hit apart
like a level that separates people where all right, so
the real players go on and do this, the other
guys drop off by now. I really believe one of
them is your ability to stay into the batter's box
and get hit by pitches. I really believe that is
like the dividing line, one of the dividing lines for kids,
(21:16):
when you're able to stay in the box and think
you're gonna get hit or get hit over and over
and over again, and you still stay in there, right.
I think that's one of those things that separates great
players from everybody else who just drops off.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Yes, John, that's extremely fair.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
And I had an example where there was someone that
was throwing particularly hard and wild in Little league and
I got so far away out of fear I was
gonna hit by a pitch. The home played up had
a cold time out and said son, and he pushed
my back, and he pushed me back into the battles box.
I was literally out of the battles box worrying about
getting hit. So I was not one of those guys
that was not destined for baseball greatness.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, I don't think that was the only thing that
I held you back.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
I quite a nice curveball, but the coach looked at
me like, we don't do that. You're ten years old out.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
There, Yes, Paul, I just went back and watched the
clip again just to get Fritz a fair shake. And
the hitter's name is Dom Decker from Murray State. The
curveball comes well inside and drops hard and he jacks
his legs back to get out of it so his
knees don't get hit, but his feet stayed because you
can't do both at the same time. He can't jump
in the air, and his back foot got nicked. He
definitely tried to get out of the way as the
(22:18):
ball is coming.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
John and Georgia, Hey John, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (22:24):
Good morning, DP, Good morning gentlemen. I think that this
might be a time in Dan Patrick's show history to
bring in relegation. You know you you refer to Fritzy
often at the start of the show as the King
of Comedy. Well, we might need to relegate him back
down to Minister of humor, just to give him a
chance to kind of build back up. And you know,
(22:46):
a couple of misses the last couple of days, he
might need a shot to kind of get himself strong again.
Speaker 11 (22:51):
All right, well, thank you, John, But this wasn't This
isn't an attempt at humor as far as this example,
this is just something I caught my eye, and I'm like,
this guy lost his perfect game. Because this guy kept
this perfect He's still like a statue and didn't move
his foot out of it. But that's that's not a
comedy routine. That's just my take on what I saw. Okay,
just one set eyes. Okay, I saying we should like
kill the guy, but it's just weak.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Are you sticking with this?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I am?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Okay. David in Arkansas, h David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (23:20):
And gentlemen, thanks for taking the call. I do appreciate it.
As a lifelong Razorback fan. That was one of the
greatest greatest achievements in Razorback history. Yesterday, well truly good.
This picture missed two months of the season due to
a shoulder injury, so throwing over one hundred pitches like
(23:42):
he did. Was just fantastic. And also college rules, you know,
you do not have to get out of the way. However,
like the guy who got hit and was called out,
you cannot lean into the pitch in any way.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So well, congratulations David, thank you, thank you for updating.
I don't know if it deserved a round of a blade.
He did sound a little like Jerry Jones, though, you know,
fellow Arkansas razor back. Yes, but no one said that.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
You bout it did anything illegal. I certainly didn't say
did anything illegal.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
I'm saying unwritten rules and bush leak and things like that,
which is totally separate from the rule book.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
I just wanted to clarify that oh can do with leagalot.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Okay, let's just frame this. It's the College World Series.
It's an elimination game. You're being dominated, right, we can
all agree, and you're it's it's three to nothing. You
got to get on base whatever it takes, and if
it takes leaning into a pitch, uh, not trying to
get out of the way, I at least get on base.
(24:43):
I have to break his momentum. I have to break
his rhythm here. I have no problem whatsoever, whatever it takes.
I unlike you play to win the game. Todd fair enough, Yes, Fritzy.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Let's say gage Wood had a two hitter going and
the same exact thing happened. Should the hitter have done
more to get out of the way.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I think that situation would change for me.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
So he has to while he's trying to hit. One
of the best pitchers in college baseball, has to think
about the historical significance of the other team's pitch.
Speaker 11 (25:17):
I think unless it was bases loaded in a one
run game or a tie where you can tie it
or win it by get a hit with the pitch,
anything less than that, get out of the way.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Do you have a problem with somebody trying to bunt
on Nolan Ryan. Yes, to break, but.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You know about how you feel about Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I love Nolan Ryan. It's a different picture. Maybe not
so much bunting on Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
That is just so beyond weak.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Absolutely, get your forty five year old ass off the
mound and go get it.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
We can't hit you. I'm gonna stick myn and hope
the ball hits the bat. You can outrun the throat
of first base.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Desperate times, desperate measures. Christian Syracuse. Hi, Chris, Hey, Thanks Dan.
Speaker 16 (25:56):
Hey, right off, I just want to say I apologize.
If my life is ever buzzing. I'm on a landline phone.
All my lines do it. I've called the phone company
that can't do anything. And over the years, I've always
prided myself and I haven't a clean line. So I
wanted to apology.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You're emeritus. You're emeritus. It's okay with your landline. The
fact that you have a landline. I love that.
Speaker 15 (26:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
See, that's actually why Chris disappeared for so many years
from the show. He was working at his landline issues,
and we appreciate that sacrifice.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Chris. It's good to have you back now, okay.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
Or not.
Speaker 16 (26:28):
Okay. I wanted to throw at a couple of things
Game Savage. You guys were talking about hockey or basketball.
If I'm guaranteed in overtime, obviously I'm going hockey and
Murray State. I got no problem with it. But I'm
almost positive that I read that Murray State coaches and
manager admits it. They are taught to stay in the
batter's box. They've had a ton of times getting hit
(26:49):
and umpires are are told to make sure they're not
leaning into it. And I want to throw a nugget
at you, Dan that I read this morning that I
found is I don't know if it can be true,
but it says Rick Carlisle in the last twenty five
years as a coach, since the year two thousand and
if the Pacers come back and win the series, which
(27:10):
I think they're going to, it'll be fifty times five
zero fifty times that since the year two thousand in
playoff series he has beaten a higher seed. So that's
an average of two for twenty five years. I thought
it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I'll get some of my best people on that, Fritzie,
see if you can have somebody verify that. Take a look, Mike, Wait,
did you hear what he said?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I caught the very end of that year was respoting
to a golf pr email.
Speaker 17 (27:43):
Okay, I wouldn't need that again. Okay, all right, fair enough, good, Hey,
I'll be glad to look at that. Hey, Broke, how
about some progress? So tell us what exactly are you
looking into?
Speaker 11 (27:53):
What are you going to be researching that thing?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But normally you would fight it eleven? Is that what
we go to go oh gosh, let's see Dakota and
Kentucky High. Dakota. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan, what's up?
Speaker 18 (28:11):
I think after everything we've all been through with Fritzy,
we should put him in a batter's box, in a
batting cage, and he needs to take a pitch from
a pitching machine.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
We'll suck at Fritzy. All right. Well, here's the problem.
Fritzie got hurt playing whiffleball. Let that sink in.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
And I wasn't hit by a pitcher.
Speaker 11 (28:31):
No, I was just swinging the back too many times,
too hard, the very light that Yeah, you got hurt.
It's like trying to throw a knrfball or even a
whiffleball as hard as you can over a period of time,
even though it was like one game for me.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Jimmy in Indiana, Hi, Jimmy, what's on your mind?
Speaker 18 (28:44):
Good morning?
Speaker 14 (28:45):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (28:46):
And Dan.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
It's six foot two hundred.
Speaker 13 (28:51):
Dan.
Speaker 18 (28:52):
I'm a college graduate, but I just can't take her.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Frame that degree.
Speaker 14 (29:02):
Yeah, okay, it concerns Pritsy. Oh, so I need you
to help me understand. How we know from an academic viewpoint,
he's very high on the scale, but at the same time,
he's a guy that wanted to take a pie out
of the oven without any gloves, And that tells me
(29:24):
he has absolutely no common sense whatsoever. So how the
hell can those two things combine in one person? Help
me understand?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
All right? Thank you, Jimmy, Jimmy college grad. Uh, Paully
saved the Jimmy college grad.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
Jimmy college grad.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Why do you have to be a negative thing? Why
can I just be like a unicorn or a enigma?
Why does it have to.
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Be street smarts? No clue what's going on? But he
can memorize, you know, the periodic table of the elements?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Is it that?
Speaker 13 (29:51):
But that's.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
To grasp the essence of a human being. He could
get a ninety five on a tester in a but
he doesn't know what help is.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Another one, Todd, you don't know how to use a broom.
You didn't know how to use scissors.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
That's because we didn't have But I had trouble cutting
the net.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You did get ready to take a pie out of
the oven.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
He kept me from having to get third degree burns.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Okay, those are three three examples.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Those are three strong examples.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yes, you you did not know how to use a broom.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
People use its in different ways.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
I decided to collect it by pushing out instead of
bringing it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Tod, Todd, you did not know how to do.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I would have got the job that eventually a job.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Take a pie out of the oven, and you did.
We have the video of that.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
We haven't even gotten around to him watching him try
to cut that cake.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh my, that was that was crazy? Okay.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
I nearly froze to death on a air conditioned bus
with a bunch of senior citizens.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Done for me growing up everything, so it made it
difficult everything until I moved to LA when I was
twenty two.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I really wasn't sure how to do.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So I get you into a movie, a Sandler movie.
Do that, and it's drizzly cold day, and then Todd's
like so cold.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I was trying to be a trooper and lobar pneumonia.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
And then I said, Tod, why didn't you just ask
the wardrobe person will get you a jacket?
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I was very shy. I didn't want to bother everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And now you're shy when there's a woman around.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Everybody seemed very go on the bus and.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Then Todd goes on the bus. There's air conditioning. Todd
doesn't think to ask the driver, can you turn down
the air conditioning? And then I see him and I said,
what's wrong? There was air conditioning? I go, did you
tell him to turn it off?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I could laugh about it now, but I really didn't
feel well. I thought I was gonna. I was like,
I have to go to like an emergency. Where was that?
Something was really not?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh my god, not a bit.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
I really, I really I thought I was.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
That's why people like this isn't true. He's not really
like that. Yes it's true. Yes, he's really had.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
A nice at the next morning. Let me know how
you felt about how I handled this.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I was. I was very stern with you.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
What of those pleasant experiences?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I was angry with you. I was angry you embarrassed
me at the movie set, which was not my intention. Oh,
it wasn't your intention.
Speaker 11 (32:16):
I happened Dan, who always goes out of his way
to have us have our dreams come true and be
in like movies.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Yes, Martin, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (32:23):
Martin?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I hate to bring this. It's fritzy a Karen.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, No, I think he's just soft. I get he
just you know, sometimes has a hard time navigating life.
That's all complaining about ridiculous things, you know, But he's
really bright and funny, and he graduates second in his
class in high school.
Speaker 11 (32:51):
I always think of a Karen of someone who screams
and yells and makes a scene like on an airplane.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Don't sit next to me with that hat on.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I'm like, I've never acted like that. The onion bagels
is wish.
Speaker 9 (33:01):
Okay, that might have been one. It's probably Karenish, yes, Karnish. Yeah, Marvin, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
I was terrist. I didn't scream at their girls. We
did not have tuna fish.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
We got to play you god, you yelled at a
girl who was probably in high school and she's not
management a minimum, she did not have an onion bagel,
and you freaked out. You possibly not.
Speaker 11 (33:24):
I think the people in the drive through, even the teenagers,
they have more say than you think about.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
They should be on top of that. We're out of
cream cheese. I should order some. I don't know, do
we not have tuna? I should probably order that, take
some initiative, but I know we don't have any more bagels.
Onion bagels are tuna fish, so that's it. You're just
gonna accept that as an employee.
Speaker 11 (33:43):
Here show some initiative if you want to be a manager,
Miss Jones, I just want to let you know.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
We're out of onion bagels and tuna and a lot
of people like that. We should probably want it more.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
How about we take a break here? Okay about we
take a break?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
You want to climb the louder, you can just say
we don't have that. Next, what else do you want?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
She wants to climb the core prit ladder at Bruger's Bagel.
Speaker 11 (34:01):
I'm not I'm not man too many bagel places where
I was, but at some bagel place makes the step
up their game.
Speaker 4 (34:06):

joins us. Good morning, Jim, what's on your mind?
Speaker 12 (35:31):
Hey? You doing today? Dan?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Great?
Speaker 13 (35:32):
Jim?
Speaker 12 (35:34):
Hey, I know what would make this segment you gottare
doing even better? I love Frizy, No, no, I love Fritzy. Okay,
he makes the show, Okay, but if you can make
him do a limerick about this whole situation, that would
be amazing.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
All right, let me see if I can get for
Fritzi to craft up a limerick here. I think we
can do that, of course you can. Let's see. Duke
in Boise, Hi, Duke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (36:00):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (36:01):
Hey Dan?
Speaker 18 (36:01):
Thanks for taking my calls. Six one two fifteen. For
folks that are kind of clutching their pearls about like
Johnny Bench or that kid yesterday trying to bust up
a perfect game. I pitched at Sonoma State, tiny little
d three school years ago. We had a kid on
(36:22):
Friday who had a perfect game going into the seventh
catcher kind of leaned into one, broke up the perfect game,
unwritten rule, gotta swinging all that stuff. Saturday, I'm starting.
He comes up first pitch right in his ribs because
you know, unwritten rule, got to protect the team. He
(36:45):
slowly walks to first, turns to me and blows me
a kiss. So what I'm saying is there's ways to
defend that kind of behavior. It hurts me today. It's
the most emasculating thing of my life. Anyways, that's it.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, But does that bother you as a pitcher, what
that hitter did yesterday in the elimination game in the
College World Series, It is.
Speaker 12 (37:07):
Not at all.
Speaker 18 (37:07):
I can see it on both sides for sure. No,
I mean there's two sides of history. One you do
not want to be on for every no hitter in
perfect game, somebody was a massive failure.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
All right, Well, thank you too. I agree. Now, if
there was a game today that yesterday was an elimination,
and that guy came to the plate against an Arkansas pitcher,
then you might buzz the tower there. Now, I don't
know if they have unwritten rules in college the way
they do in you know, major league baseball. Here's another
(37:39):
thing that it doesn't happen very often, but when it does,
it's pretty exciting. It's when somebody goes from pitching in
the college World Series or playing in the World Series
and then they go right to the major leagues. It
doesn't happen very often. And why is that with baseball?
Whereas in basketball you could be one and done and
(38:01):
go You're in the NBA the next year. Now you
have guys who have gone from that didn't play minor
league baseball. Think Dave Winfield and Bob Horner, a couple
of guys that come to mind. But man, somebody will
have this momentum and you go, oh, God, that guy
was lights out of the World Series. What happened to him? Oh,
he's down in Double A. And then you don't see
(38:22):
him for four or five years. They lose that Oh
I watched that guy in March Madness and he's going
to be playing in the NBA or I watched this
guy in the college football playoffs and he's going to
be starting it for my team at quarterback. Yes, Mark, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
There's probably only a couple of guys that I can
remember that was in the College World Series and they
became major league players. Steven Strasburg was hot four second
and Paul Skins. But other than that, I really can't
think off the top of my head, met anybody in
that spot.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Dave in Washington, Hi, Dave, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 18 (38:51):
More than DP Dane?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
How you doing good? Good?
Speaker 15 (38:54):
So?
Speaker 19 (38:54):
I think we got a little pie of the face
here for Fritzy. I don't know that Fritzy could stay
in the box to face a curve ball at that speed,
let alone, you know, be able to get out.
Speaker 18 (39:09):
Of the way.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Well, we took batting practice when we were out at
the super Bowl in Arizona, and we were at the
Giants spring training site and they set up the pitching
machine and they're probably, you know, it might have been
eighty we had them. I think bring it up to ninety,
and Fritzie hung in there. Fritzy had some good hacks.
(39:31):
But I mean it's different with a live game. The
ball is kind of going straight, although you could make
it curve, make it dip, make it do a lot
of different things. But basically it was probably eighty five
to ninety miles an hour, and Fritzie was staying in there.
I mean, nobody puts on a like a grimace the
(39:53):
way like god, you know where he's chopping it down
the third base line. But you did pretty well.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I took it very seriously.
Speaker 11 (40:01):
I don't know, I've had this angry face like I
had to prove I can get some.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Hits with that.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
See would you update the poll results from the first hour.
I'd be happy too.
Speaker 9 (40:10):
This is a very specific poll question, very have Uh,
we've got up there right now, should the Merry State
hitter down three runs in the eighth inning of a
College World Series elimination game done more to help gage
Wood of Arkansas get a perfect game?
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Right now? Let's see, we've.
Speaker 9 (40:28):
Got many more votes now. Ninety three point two percent
say no, okay, six point eight are saying yes.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Okay, all right, tot So you got a couple of
fans there, couple yeah, hanging in there. Fritzi says, Hey,
somebody sent me a tweet said you're the man Fritzi
and then he goes, I just got another tweet, Fritzy,
You're soft and needy.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Like IY some Chinese food.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah them up? Alrighty one hour in the books. We'll
talk about the NBA last night and JJ spawn us
Open champ in the final hour. We're back after this
