Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour. It's a Meet Friday. Morale is high.
We're down a Danette, but we gained a backroom guy
Dylan is in for seat, and the Minister of Humor
Fritzie is here Marvin Pauliers. Truly it's grilled ribbis, loaded
baked potatoes.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Who has it better than we do? Nod alrighty. Stat
of the Day brought to you was always by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good
morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, and
we say good morning to our radio affiliates, iHeartRadio Fox
Sports Radio as well. There was a front office executive
(00:41):
who recently was quoted as saying he thought that Cooper
Flag would have more of an impact on winning his
rookie year than Victor Wembenyama. Well, okay, there's a couple
things wrong with this. Cooper Flag is going to a
team that's better than the San Antonio Spurs, aren't There?
Is Cooper Flag going to be as good as Victor
(01:03):
wem Benyama's rookie year? And the answer is no, No,
is he going to be a twenty ten guy. Is
he going to lead the league or up there in block?
Shawn's no, He's going to a team where he will
fit into a team. Victor Wembenyama went to San Antonio
as the team and that's the difference with this. San
(01:25):
Antonio wasn't good. That's why they got the number one pick.
Dallas lucked into the number one pick. They shouldn't have
gotten it, but they defied odds and they got Cooper Flag.
If Cooper Flag went to Washington, now we can have
an apples to apples comparison. Victor Wembanyama, despite not having
a point guard, his first year was great. Now there
(01:49):
were times where he would be out of place, he
would be muscled a little bit. He didn't he couldn't
establish position and a point guard, a better point guard,
would have put him in better pos And that's why
I thought, give him a legitimate point guard and you're
going to watch him go and he's going to be
the best player in the sport. I don't think Cooper
Flag's going to be the best player in the sport.
(02:11):
I think he's going to be a very good player,
potentially a great player. And what I love is that
it'll be at both ends of the floor. There won't
be this argument of yeah, he's a good score, but
he doesn't play any defense. That won't be the case
with Cooper Flag. But to say that he'll have more
of an impact on winning than Victor, that's not true.
Switch him up Victor Wembanyama on Dallas and Cooper Flag
(02:36):
on San Antonio.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, Marvin, if Wemby was on Dallas, they'd be a
championship contender.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes, Yes, And they might be a championship contender with
Cooper Flag with Kyrie when he comes back. It's a
very good team and they should be a really good team.
They should be a top five team in the West
when they're healthy. They should be a top five team.
But you can't compare Cooper Flag to Victor win Benyama.
(03:04):
It's not fair to win Benyama who went to a
bad team. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Also, can we get rid of this term? This term
kills me. Can we get rid of generational talent? Every
single year? That's not a generational talent, it's generational.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Gosh. That grinds my gears forgiving me. Okay, all right,
keep your head up, all right, Come on. It's me Friday, Ally,
come on out, come on. Yeah. By the way, the
youngest first round in the NBA draft since the ABA
NBA merger just under nineteen years of a twenty years
of age, I should say, and there were no freshmen
(03:39):
drafted last night. It was almost of oh, yeah, I
know that guy. I remember that guy. That guy's played
a few years at Creighton. He played a few years
at Florida. That was the feeling I got last night
when I'm watching this, and you know, we love to
hand out grades, and we love to do that immediately
who won who law, especially with the NBA. I saw
(04:03):
two different experts, I guess, assessing what the Brooklyn Nets did.
One had laughingstock, another one said, I'm going to give
them an a an a for their draft picks. They
drafted four guards and they drafted a big man out
of Michigan, Danny Wolf. I have no idea. There's been
(04:27):
so many times where I've said I had no idea
that guy was going to be that good. You can
go Kawhi, Greek Freak, even Shay Gilges, and then these
are recent I have no idea. Now, Joker, I didn't
know anything about nobody did. If they did, they wouldn't
have drafted in the second round, and they wouldn't have
(04:48):
drafted him. Where they go to commercial break to a
Taco Bell commercial, they would be like, oh, saw Denver,
they got a steal here. It can never happen. And
trying to handicap and eighteen year old. Try to do
that with your own kids, who might be eighteen or
nineteen years of age. You can't do it. I have
(05:09):
no idea how good Dylan Harper's going to be. Ace
Bailey vj Edgecombe. I have no idea. Now I could
see things. I could see signs or glimpses where you go. Oh,
I like that. I'd like to see them. You know,
there's a few things, But what do you do in
big games? How does your shot look? What do people
(05:34):
say about your work ethic?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Those are just basic things that I would want to know.
I got to know if I got somebody who wants
to be great, who wants to work at being great,
who understands what it takes to be great? A team player?
Do you play defense and offense? How does that shot look?
Are you a good free throw shooter?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
These are just simple things that I would look at
with every one of those players, and then you would
have red flag that would pop up with certain aspects
of their games. But if they're eighteen or nineteen or twenty,
nobody's a finished product. And I don't know if anybody
can say Cooper Flag is supposed to be great, Dylan
(06:13):
Harper is supposed to be good. Ace Bailey potentially, I
don't even know if he wants to play for Utah.
That's not a good start. And then you'll get guys
who are drafted in the second round, where you go,
how do they slip putt? It's trying to assess talent,
(06:38):
trying to assess that guy is going to become That
might take three years, four years, but we do want
immediate results. And it's not fair to an eighteen or
nineteen year old because most of them haven't received great coaching.
AAU is not great coaching. Now there are some, but
you get to college and Tom Izzo has you for
(07:01):
six months. Okay, CALIPERI, you know how much can you
really change somebody with an AAU culture going into college?
But given out grades, I mean I read him. I
like to see what people say. I just don't put
any value at all, any stock, because if somebody comes
back and says, why did you like the Nets draft? Well,
(07:24):
I figure, if you take four guards, maybe you get
two that are pretty good. Maybe they're building blocks, maybe
you use them to trade for some I don't know.
I mean Danny Wolf. I watched him at Yale, I
watched him at Michigan. And good passer. Okay, so now
you got five guys who can pass the ball for
the Nets. Okay. They are worse things to have, yeah, Paully.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And also the development. Tyrese Maxey was the I think
he was the twentieth pick of the draft, not a
high end pick, not a low pick. His first year,
he started eight games and average eight points. Last year
he averaged twenty seven. But it took three years, four
years to get there.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And I remember seeing him and I even said to Marvin,
I said, he'll be the best player on the team
one day. They'll build around Tyrese Maxy. But it's only
because you're watching them play and then you see the graduation,
like they went from this to this. It's like Anthony Davis.
I said, he's unbelievably skilled, and nobody thought that he
(08:23):
could be. You know, it's like Patrick Ewing came in
and people didn't realize he could shoot a jumper. Anthony
Davis had a handle and because he had a growth spurt,
so he learned how to handle the ball because he
was smaller. And I said, that guy will be the
best player in the draft. Now, sometimes you see it,
sometimes you don't. I mean Luca, I only so highlights
(08:45):
of him in the European League, and I should have
factored in a little bit more of how old they
were and how old he was, and he was the
MVP and playing in those leagues in those conditions, in
those environments. There's no NBA environment and no arena that
comes close to some of those places that he played in. Yes, Mark, Hey,
(09:06):
you saw the.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
First round of the draft where they were just nothing
but freshman, you know, being drafted in the second round.
You saw super seniors getting in there in the first round.
Is basically, hey, we have the potential to see this
with the super seniors that were picked in the second round.
We've already seen your best work. Or why were you
in school for four years? If you were that good,
(09:27):
you wouldn't have been in school for four maybe five years.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Also, here's something. I don't know the timeframe on this,
but it's going to happen here in the next probably
two weeks, and that is voting on if they're going
to expand March Madness probably going to be maybe two
week period. And I don't have this nailed down. I'm
just from what I'm told and my college sources have
(09:51):
been impeccable throughout all of this, going back, you know,
to COVID. It might be one of those where it's
kind of voted on in summer and and they sneak
it past us. Nobody is asking for expansion. By the way,
there's no rallying like college football. It's like, yeah, man,
you got to go to sixteen, Like that happened as
(10:11):
soon as you get to twelve to go to sixteen.
That's not happening in college basketball. Do I think there's
going to be expansion.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I do.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do I think it's going to go to seventy two.
I do. There's still the possibility that it could go
to seventy six. But I think they're going to vote
on that, and I think they'll be you know, they're
going to expand it a little bit. And I think
you can do it and it doesn't really impact the tournament.
It'll just be more of those first four games, and
(10:40):
I think if we kind of beef that up, it
can be more of an event. I don't like you
play into the tournament. I just don't like that you're
either in the tournament or you're not. But if they
want to have language that says that, that's fine. But
I think they're going to be voting on this in
the next two weeks. I think they're going to expand.
I don't think seventy six. I think it's going to
(11:02):
be seventy two. So they add four more teams. Once again,
nobody asked for it, but it just felt like there
was this ground swell and some of the coaches are
talking about this. Well, of course, they are more opportunity
to make the tournament. Jim Mayheim said ninety six. I
was like, Jim, what is wrong with you? In a retirement? Yes,
(11:24):
Marvint just.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
More coaches to complain when they don't make the tournament. No,
nobody gets to complain like you were seventeen and fourteen.
You have plenty of opportunity not to lose fourteen games.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yes, Todd, we can't call.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
It the first aid, So it's the first four, the
next four. We got to come up with a kep.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Titlee Yes, everything has to have a title to it.
And if we have a literation, even better March madness, yes, Martin,
the first is four. Well, it's the first is eight.
Maybe it's an awful idea, I know, but I believe it's
(11:58):
going to happen. And the vote who's going to take place?
I think soon? But nobody asked for it. Poll question
Dylan for the final hour of this program.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
All right, Dan, well we teased it last hour. But
have you ever been hit hard by a fictional character's death?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh? Okay, yeah, if you're going all about that, uh,
Bamby hit me pretty hard. That's a classic. Yeah, Bambi did.
I didn't understand that when I was really really young.
Still don't understand it. And I remember my mom talking
to me about life and death and I don't know.
(12:37):
Was I five, Like, I didn't, I didn't like, I
didn't know pets died. I didn't know Bambi was going
to die, but kind of crushed me a little bit.
Uh So, fictional character. We talked about this with Marge Simpson.
They I guess faked her death or people thought that
she died on The Simpsons and that's not the case
(12:58):
any other Todd, did you have a fictional character growing
up that died that impacted you? No? Really, you know, I.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Got teary eyed from BAMBI also Old Yeller, that Old
Yeller would die. I don't know. I don't know what
happened to.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The dog very much. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of
Old Yeller was a bummer too. I thought Lassie lived
on forever and I found out Little Timmy, you know,
lost Lassie. They had a couple of Lassies on there. Yes, yes, Bully.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
When I was a little kid, it was a big
deal at the time. Mash was the most popular sitcom
spoiler here. Henry Blake passed away in the middle of
the show, like halfway through the series. He left the show,
and it was a shocker when they announced.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That he died.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, Marvin, did you have anything that jolted your childhood?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Thomas, the Macaulay Culkin character in My Girl, He had
an allergic reaction to bees and then he hit like
a big bee hive and he didn't make it.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Saw the glasses just laying there like no, yeah, paul
that was a big deal.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
When that happened, a lot of people were like little
kids are in the movie theaters and thought this was
this feel good young relationship movie. And then mcaulay Culkin's
character dies.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't see the movie. Oh spoiler, yeah, no, need
to see it now, No need to see it now, Noboddy,
Alex in Utah, Hi Alex, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Hey, good morning, gentlemen. I haven't seen Mago Girl either,
but just from the cover, I know I don't want
to watch you, just because I know it's going to
be devastating. I can't watch McAuley culkin. Yeah, that's a
good poll, Marvin, so real quick.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I just want to I don't think people paid enough
attention to Polly's theory about the step back. I did
a little bit of research, and step back jumpers are
on the rise in the last decade, and I just
think about the mechanics of pushing back with one foot
and then stopping all your momentum with the other foot.
I don't think that doctor gave Paulie enough. He didn't
(15:04):
mull it over enough. I think we need a second
opinion on that one.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
All right, thank you. Alex. Paulie thought that the step
back jumper may be leading to the rash and the
epidemic of achilles injuries. I think having shoes that aren't
high tops could have an impact on this. But yeah,
there's more step back jumpers. Because nobody was doing a
(15:28):
step back jumper ten years ago, there has to be
more step back jumpers. I think it might be more
of that you don't wear high tops anymore, and maybe
the support. The Mets lost a pitcher last night, guy
that the Angels drafted Canning. He was just backing up.
So you have these random injuries that bring about the
(15:51):
same result of a torn achilles ruptured achilles. I mean,
who was taking a step back jumper when they did this, PAULI.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
See, I don't necessarily think that the injury could always
happen on a step back jumper. I think it's the
for the past ten years. My guess is that guards,
especially shooters, are practicing the step back jumper hundreds of
times daily and that leads to stress on the calf
and the whole area. And I can't think of any
other explanation for the recent ones in the past ten years.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I'd go with the shoes. I'd go with high tops.
Nobody's wearing high tops anymore. Of all these guys who
blew out their achilles, how many were wearing low cut shoes.
Dame Durant, Halliburton, all low cuts, Kobe, So that's had
(16:44):
something to do with it. Maybe I don't know. The
NBA is, you know, they're doing some real research on this,
you know, maybe they come up with something there help
you prevent this. All right, He's got one of the
great nicknames, the Big Dumper Seanle Mariners catcher cal R.
He's got thirty two home runs. He is, he's doing
things that haven't been done before by a catcher. Prior
(17:05):
to the All Star Break. He'll join us. Coming up
next here, Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has the
best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of
our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the
iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. Hi, this is Jay.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
I'm the producer of the Pauli and Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they ask you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get Camps.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Who wha, what what the hell are you doing in
our studio?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Get him Paulis. Ignore that fool.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Listen to the Paula and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
He's still moving.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Cal Rawley catcher for the Seattle Mariners, and he leads
all of baseball and home runs and RBIs. Twenty twenty
five is obviously a career season, but he's had home
runs before each of the last three seasons. He's led
all catchers twenty seven homers, then thirty, then thirty four,
and he joins us Now, cow, what's different this year
(18:11):
as opposed to the last couple of years.
Speaker 11 (18:16):
I think really just me trying to be consistent at
the plate and not you know, going up and changing
a bunch of things mid season, trying to you know,
go down rabbit holes so you know, even if I
do have a bad game or two, just really trying
to stay within myself and my approach and folks on
what I can do rather than what the pictures shrying
to do to me?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
How often do you go up to the plate trying
to hit a home run?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Well, usually when I do, it doesn't work out very well.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
So it's you know, the I guess the old saying,
you know, kind of happens by accident. So you know, pictures,
you know, you to take advantage of the mistakes when
they do. And I'm just trying to square it up
and hit it through the middle of the field.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You're in there. Pretty famous people here, like when you
look at what you've accomplished. The number of players to
reach thirty home runs before the end of June, Babe
Ruth Ken, Griffy Junior, Sammy So said Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds,
Albert Poohols sho heyo, Tani Aaron Judge. Pretty good list there?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Does that seem very fitting? Forny?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But how do you do you embrace this that you belong.
This shouldn't be viewed as who is this guy and
where did he come from? If are you surprised at
how great you have played this year?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
I mean, you know, you always want to have that
confidence as a baseball player going to the box. You
want to feel like you're the best player in the world, right,
But you know, I think you know the real side
of it now, I don't. You know, it's hard to
kind of fathom, you know, you know, especially when you
rattle off names like that. So anytime you're in that
kind of you know, company me with hearing those names,
(20:02):
you know you're doing something, you know pretty good. So
really just trying to you know, keep my head down
and try to keep going, you know, not really trying
to think about that too much, and just trying to
see how far I can go.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You get recognized outside of Seattle.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Outside of Seattle, yeah, not very much. Noh sometimes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But you could walk out of your hotel in Arlington
right now, Oh yeah, easy and go anywhere. You could
go to lunch. You could wear your jersey, you could
wear your full uniform, and people might not realize who
you are.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:39):
It's uh, it's you know, just a pretty average looking dude.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So I'm not you know, Aaron Judge. He's pretty big dude.
You can you can kind of recognize him, not not
mean quite so much.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Okay, but you got a great nickname.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I think it's yeah, one of the better ones.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So okay, when you first heard it. Who gave you
that nickname?
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Uh so Jared kellnick. We came up through the miners.
Uh he played with us for a couple of years
with the Braves now he he tweeted it out as
soon as I debuted, and you know, I think people
thought it was really funny at first, and then.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Wait, but what leads him to call you the big Dumper?
Speaker 11 (21:21):
So I have a I have a you know, a
big butt, and that's uh, that's it's kind of been
a running thing since I've been in high school. You know,
it's just kind of been It's like, wow, he just
you know, just kind of sticks out like that guy's
got a really big butt.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And he was always commenting on in the minor.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Leagues and then and then obviously get called up and
that happens, didn't really play well and then start playing well,
and people just kind of like took off with They
loved it that that was really funny and Seattle's kind
of made it, made it there kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So so it's kind of a Kim Kardashian thing, you know.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It's yeah, kind of like that kind of like.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Your your calling card. There is there a sponsorship here
with a big dumper.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
No, I mean not yet. I mean we'll see what
We'll see what's out there. Maybe getting on this show.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Maybe we'll get some how about how about dude wipes?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Dude wipes would be a good one kind of fit.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Right, Uh, Toto toilets.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
There you go, any kind of a day.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Your agent should be doing this for you.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I know you you should. They should be on it
after the show.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yes, I mean this is a big deal there, big
big opportunities. We're talking to Cal Rawley, the Mariners catcher.
Who was your like idol or who did you kind
of pattern yourself since you're a switch hitting catcher. Not
many of those?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, you're right, there's not a lot of those. I'd say.
I grew up a diehard Red Sox fan, so Jason
Vertek was kind of my guy growing up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Have you met him?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, I've got to meet him a few times.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
He's on staff with the Socks right now, so I've
got to chat with them a little bit. But yeah,
I loved him obviously, him being a sweat hitter catcher
and you know, him having the sea on his chest,
you know, as the captain was a really cool thing
growing up and just somebody I idled and or was
my idol.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
And it was great to watch. And you know, I
watched a bunch of other catchers.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
As well, you know, Posey Molina, those are some really
good ones as well, but the Veritext the one that
sticks out.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I was wondering if there was any correlation between being
a catcher and being a good hitter, because you're so
used to seeing pitches that you call for these pitches,
you know what it looks like, the spin, change up,
how it comes out of the hand. Is there any
correlation there of helping you as a hitter by being
a catcher.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, I mean I believe so.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
I mean, you know, I think as a catcher, you know,
I spend most of my time doing scouting reports, talking
with pictures about how they want attack hitters, going over
their weaknesses. So I think you can kind of flip
flop that and use that as an advantage as as
a hitter. And you know, you can kind of you
can kind of think along sometimes with with other catchers
(24:10):
and other pictures and see how they're attacking you and
go off the patterns and and pass how they pitched you.
So it's taking some time to kind of learn how
to do that. But but so I'd say that it
definitely helps be in the catcher because you can you
can understand that part of a little bit. But at
the end of the day, you still got to go
out and put a good swing on the ball and
(24:30):
and find something in the heart of the play.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
How do you feel when the pitch you called for
is hit for a home run?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You don't feel good?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, do you apologize? Have you apologized to your
picture gone out to the mound?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Because sometimes I mean, you know, I think at the
end of the day, it's all about execution, you know,
when it's coming out of the picture's hand. But there are
sometimes where you're like, you know, maybe I I messed
that one up, or you know, I think it just
goes hand in hand as a as a battery, you know,
as a picture and catcher, you're working together, and you know,
sometimes you mess up, sometimes you get it right. It's
(25:08):
just kind of how it goes as as the catcher.
You know, you you you wear some of those a
little harder than others, depending on the situation and depending
on what you call it. So you know, sometimes it's
on the picture sometimes it's on the catcher.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It's just kind of how it goes.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
How long are you allowed to admire a home run
that you've hit?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Uh? I think you can take a good look at it,
but you know you don't want to. You don't want
to be that guy.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
You don't want to take too long, and you know
you don't want to show anybody up on the opposing side.
And next thing you know, you're one of your teammates
getting thrown at or you're getting thrown at.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So but once you get past first base, col oh.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
I you know, I have a pretty decent job. You know,
I don't take too much time around the bases. I
just you know, you got to show love to the
bullpen because they're rooting on out there, so you give
them a little point and then and then you you
crossed home and you go get the gear on this.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
How it goes?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
What's a home run sound like?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
I mean typically they sound pretty loud that usually when
you get them good, you don't it doesn't feel like
you hit anything. It just kind of feels like it
was just like a smooth swaying, like almost like a
dry dry hack. So it feels good. And when you
get it sweet though you can.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It's pretty loud, the crack of the bat.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
And what's the stolen bases? What do you got nine
stolen bases?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah? I got nine this year.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I am are you deceptively fast?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Say?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Are you? You're sneaky fast?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Sneaky fast? I think I still I broke the record.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Our manager here was the catcher for a while with
the Mariner, Stan Wilson, and had he held the record
for a catcher in the org and I broke it
this year, and I thought about doing the whole rooky.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
After the game today. I'm the greatest, that's right of all.
Did they give you the bag after you set the
organizational record for solon bases? No?
Speaker 11 (27:04):
That was unfortunately it was only like seven, so it
wasn't number.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Johnny Bench, to me, the greatest catcher I ever saw,
and he's very impressed with you, has some great things
to say about you. That's the highest praise I think
you could get because Bench was a great athlete, power hitter,
and I think the greatest defensive catcher of all time.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
So yeah, that's I mean, getting getting that kind of
lot from him, And what he said was, you know,
it means the whole world to me.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So I got to meet him this year at the
etic Old Glub banquet.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh cool.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Got to talk with.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
Him for a couple a couple hours and just sit
and talk all of them and it was just amazing.
Hearing the stories and getting to chat with him was awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, great to talk to you. Good luck. I think
your second in the MVP race according my odds this morning.
I've got Aaron Judge and then you.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I mean, that's not bad not bad company here striking going. Yeah,
all right, well you can stay anonymous maybe just walking around,
but not when you come to the plate. So continue
to do that and let's work on a sponsors ship there.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Col I appreciate you, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's Kyl Raleigh calling the Big Dumper. He's fine with
that great nickname and sneaky, sneaky athletic as well. Stealing
some bases there. But he hit home runs before. I
think people maybe would be surprised that he's led catchers
and what's the al time record Kent City Royals catcher Perez, Yeah,
(28:41):
he had forty eight. I think that's the ALZ time record.
You'll see guys though, that have unbelievable first halfs of
the season. And I think Reggie Jackson hit thirty seven
home runs first half of the season, and I think
he hit ten or twelve the second and a half
of the season. Might ended up with forty seven or
(29:03):
forty nine. Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
The catcher list is Salvador Perez in twenty twenty one
forty eight, Hobby Lopez in three with forty three, Hobby Lopez, yeah,
Todd Hunley forty one in nineteen ninety six. Then you
go back to Roy Campanella nineteen fifty three with forty one,
Mike Piazza nineteen ninety nine with forty.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Wait oh home runs, Okay, yes, I thought you were
talking stolen bases. I'm going wait a Mike Piazza had
the picture. Yeah, I can't imagine Pizza running. You know
that they give him the green light? All right? A
couple of phone calls Dan in Connecticut, Hi, Dan, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Hey guys? Hey Stafford Connecticut, six foot two, twenty first
time caller, longtime listener. So we were going back to
nicknames when I was in college ball and then went
to pro ball. Luckily, I just curached out, uh. For
(30:00):
the Seattle Learners, my nickname was Payo, and when I
got the pro ball, Payo for the Latin Americans was
Fart in Spanish. So during spring training and during all
my years of pro ball, they would recognize me as
Paloe and then go Payo and walk around and I
got pretty famous for that.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
All right, well, thank you Payo.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
That can't be good.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't think so. I mean I can I can
accept the big dumper. I don't think Payo. I'd have
maybe a little problem with that.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And they're making the sound effect and calling you that
I just double problem.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Thank you, Todd Jacob been Illinois. Hi Jake, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 13 (30:47):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call first time, long time,
five seven one fifty. I had I had a question
or I really wanted your opinion on the nca tournament
Expand they've had these first four games in the past
couple of years now, and I've always been a little
thrown off. How come they have You'll have two eleven
(31:08):
seeds playing each other instead of all these sixteen seeds
that get directly into the first round instead of the
first four. Shouldn't the first four, the sixteen seed versus
sixteen seed, and then play your way into the tournament.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, I think they like that sixteen seed that's always
going to be there to start March madness. But there
is a formula for the teams. It's the last teams
that go in. But you know, the sixteen seed is
already in the tournament. These other ones, you know, it's
(31:44):
just where they are that they they've already had the
sixty eight and now you add or sixty four and
then you add the other four.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, Mark, Yeah, I love that because I don't think
the sixteenth or fifteen should be in it. It should
be those eleven twelves that barely got in those other
sixteen seats. They had to win their conference tournament, you know,
So why should we have to go to Dayton. We
won our conference tournament. We should be able to go
to the actual tournament.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The sixty four it should yeah, an automatic birth. Yeah,
but I like having the sixteens play. I like them
being in the tournament, the actual tournament. All right, we'll
take a break. Last call for phone calls, will do
the who had the Best Week in Sports? And if
you're watching on Peacock and of course you should be.
We're gonna go out to the Treeger Grills after this.

and six foot two hundred.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
The wife and I have been going to some cape
Cod League baseball games this summer and there's.
Speaker 12 (35:25):
Been a real black of enthusiasm on the.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Third strike call. So, hey, I call you up.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
There we go, There we go. You have an example
of what a real one sounds like.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
So I appreciate it. What's your wife's name, Laura Hey,
Laura Hey, that's that's what I just I just threw
Dylan out. Although you're going to the cape Cod League,
I appreciate that. I've been there on great setting. Jeff
Bagwell cape Cod League? Was he a cape Cod guy?
(35:56):
I remember seeing him in New Britain, New the brit Socks.
Remember seeing him in the minor leagues?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yes, when you can get chowder at a concession stah, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Where you make your name for yourself. I remember there's
a video out there. Ken Kaiser. Ken Kaiser was the
home plate umpire and I hope I have the story right.
Ken Kaiser left handed umpire like he would always punch
you out with his left hand, and when he called
like close played first and he would just do that.
(36:34):
He got hit one time in the mask with a pitch,
and I think he was accusing the catcher of doing
it on purpose. So Kaiser got blasted right in the mask,
and then he threw the ball to the pitcher on
the ground. He was the home plate umpire, and I
think he gets hit right in right between the eyes
(36:57):
and he is so upset at the pitcher. Yes, Paul,
I got the video.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Kevin Malar was at the plate.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It's a Yankees game.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Ken Kaiser, I guess, was a former wrestler, big strong dude.
He gets very upset, and like you said, he rolls
it right back to the pitcher and it looks like
they're going to get into it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I've never seen that before. That The umpire gets the ball. Well,
I've never seen a catcher purposely not catch it to
get the umpire and he rolls the ball back to
the mound. It's pretty wild. Yeah, how about this day
in sports history?
Speaker 5 (37:33):
I just got one for you, Okay, this is fun.
In Atlantic City nineteen eighty eight, Mike Tyson knocked out
Michael Spinks in only ninety one second.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, he was there. That was a big deal. And
I remember Danny Iello the actor and Matt Dillon the actor,
and I remember being ringside, and that fight didn't last long.
(38:03):
It was almost like it was over before he even
threw a punch because Tyson came in the ring, and
all I did is stare at Michael sphinx. And if
Michael could have just did just tapped down just like there,
if there was an ejector seat, he would have sat
at it and just said, ah, keep your money. Who
(38:25):
had the best week in sports? Todd? The best week
in sports? The Utah Jazz.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
In their draft, they weren't afraid to select East Bailey
with a fifth pick, even though he was reportedly one
of the teams that he his agent didn't want to
go to.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Then they go up and.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Get Florida's Walter Clayton Junior. They get John Tanji out
of Wisconsin in the second round.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
It picked fifty three.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Nicely done by the Utah Jazz. I pronounced John Tanji
right now.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I don't know, you don't even know who he is,
but you said nicely done.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Out of Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, of course those are three. What did you learn today?
Speaker 7 (38:56):
Bogel jub Markovich taken forty seventh overall by the Bucks.
He's from Serbia. Could be the next Yo Kitsch. They
actually don't look dissimilar.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
See Marvin.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
The Mavericks Hey getting number one pick, adding him on
with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Good for Dallas, Paul who had the best week in sports.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
I'll give it to tight End University. You got Taylor
Swift to play your jambourine. It's a good day.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
He was with who is it? Kane Kane Brown. Kane
Brown was up there. He thought he was the musical entertainment.
He said, you know it's got to He sent out
a tweet basically saying I show up thinking I'm the
entertainment for the night, and then Taylor Swift comes in
and starts singing, Todd, what did I learn? On today's
(39:44):
word nominated program.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
Jeff with one F in New Orleans gave you a
hard time by night liking Mayo, so maybe he should
f off.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Yeah, now, I'm not a big Mayo guy. Just not
ketchup mustard. That's about it. Illam, do relish very simple life.
Thanks for the phone calls, emails, tweets, the all around support.
Hope you have a great weekend, a safe weekend, and
we look forward to reconnecting on monn Mon Monday, that's Monday.
(40:13):
We'll talk to you then then then then then
You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio Final Hour. It's a Meet Friday. Morale is high.
We're down a Danette, but we gained a backroom guy
Dylan is in for seat, and the Minister of Humor
Fritzie is here Marvin Pauliers. Truly it's grilled ribbis, loaded
baked potatoes.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Who has it better than we do? Nod alrighty. Stat
of the Day brought to you was always by Panini America,
the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Good
morning if you're watching on Peacock, our streaming partner, and
we say good morning to our radio affiliates, iHeartRadio Fox
Sports Radio as well. There was a front office executive
(00:41):
who recently was quoted as saying he thought that Cooper
Flag would have more of an impact on winning his
rookie year than Victor Wembenyama. Well, okay, there's a couple
things wrong with this. Cooper Flag is going to a
team that's better than the San Antonio Spurs, aren't There?
Is Cooper Flag going to be as good as Victor
(01:03):
wem Benyama's rookie year? And the answer is no, No,
is he going to be a twenty ten guy. Is
he going to lead the league or up there in block?
Shawn's no, He's going to a team where he will
fit into a team. Victor Wembenyama went to San Antonio
as the team and that's the difference with this. San
(01:25):
Antonio wasn't good. That's why they got the number one pick.
Dallas lucked into the number one pick. They shouldn't have
gotten it, but they defied odds and they got Cooper Flag.
If Cooper Flag went to Washington, now we can have
an apples to apples comparison. Victor Wembanyama, despite not having
a point guard, his first year was great. Now there
(01:49):
were times where he would be out of place, he
would be muscled a little bit. He didn't he couldn't
establish position and a point guard, a better point guard,
would have put him in better pos And that's why
I thought, give him a legitimate point guard and you're
going to watch him go and he's going to be
the best player in the sport. I don't think Cooper
Flag's going to be the best player in the sport.
(02:11):
I think he's going to be a very good player,
potentially a great player. And what I love is that
it'll be at both ends of the floor. There won't
be this argument of yeah, he's a good score, but
he doesn't play any defense. That won't be the case
with Cooper Flag. But to say that he'll have more
of an impact on winning than Victor, that's not true.
Switch him up Victor Wembanyama on Dallas and Cooper Flag
(02:36):
on San Antonio.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, Marvin, if Wemby was on Dallas, they'd be a
championship contender.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes, Yes, And they might be a championship contender with
Cooper Flag with Kyrie when he comes back. It's a
very good team and they should be a really good team.
They should be a top five team in the West
when they're healthy. They should be a top five team.
But you can't compare Cooper Flag to Victor win Benyama.
(03:04):
It's not fair to win Benyama who went to a
bad team. Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Also, can we get rid of this term? This term
kills me. Can we get rid of generational talent? Every
single year? That's not a generational talent, it's generational.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Gosh. That grinds my gears forgiving me. Okay, all right,
keep your head up, all right, Come on. It's me Friday, Ally,
come on out, come on. Yeah. By the way, the
youngest first round in the NBA draft since the ABA
NBA merger just under nineteen years of a twenty years
of age, I should say, and there were no freshmen
(03:39):
drafted last night. It was almost of oh, yeah, I
know that guy. I remember that guy. That guy's played
a few years at Creighton. He played a few years
at Florida. That was the feeling I got last night
when I'm watching this, and you know, we love to
hand out grades, and we love to do that immediately
who won who law, especially with the NBA. I saw
(04:03):
two different experts, I guess, assessing what the Brooklyn Nets did.
One had laughingstock, another one said, I'm going to give
them an a an a for their draft picks. They
drafted four guards and they drafted a big man out
of Michigan, Danny Wolf. I have no idea. There's been
(04:27):
so many times where I've said I had no idea
that guy was going to be that good. You can
go Kawhi, Greek Freak, even Shay Gilges, and then these
are recent I have no idea. Now, Joker, I didn't
know anything about nobody did. If they did, they wouldn't
have drafted in the second round, and they wouldn't have
(04:48):
drafted him. Where they go to commercial break to a
Taco Bell commercial, they would be like, oh, saw Denver,
they got a steal here. It can never happen. And
trying to handicap and eighteen year old. Try to do
that with your own kids, who might be eighteen or
nineteen years of age. You can't do it. I have
(05:09):
no idea how good Dylan Harper's going to be. Ace
Bailey vj Edgecombe. I have no idea. Now I could
see things. I could see signs or glimpses where you go. Oh,
I like that. I'd like to see them. You know,
there's a few things, But what do you do in
big games? How does your shot look? What do people
(05:34):
say about your work ethic?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Those are just basic things that I would want to know.
I got to know if I got somebody who wants
to be great, who wants to work at being great,
who understands what it takes to be great? A team player?
Do you play defense and offense? How does that shot look?
Are you a good free throw shooter?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
These are just simple things that I would look at
with every one of those players, and then you would
have red flag that would pop up with certain aspects
of their games. But if they're eighteen or nineteen or twenty,
nobody's a finished product. And I don't know if anybody
can say Cooper Flag is supposed to be great, Dylan
(06:13):
Harper is supposed to be good. Ace Bailey potentially, I
don't even know if he wants to play for Utah.
That's not a good start. And then you'll get guys
who are drafted in the second round, where you go,
how do they slip putt? It's trying to assess talent,
(06:38):
trying to assess that guy is going to become That
might take three years, four years, but we do want
immediate results. And it's not fair to an eighteen or
nineteen year old because most of them haven't received great coaching.
AAU is not great coaching. Now there are some, but
you get to college and Tom Izzo has you for
(07:01):
six months. Okay, CALIPERI, you know how much can you
really change somebody with an AAU culture going into college?
But given out grades, I mean I read him. I
like to see what people say. I just don't put
any value at all, any stock, because if somebody comes
back and says, why did you like the Nets draft? Well,
(07:24):
I figure, if you take four guards, maybe you get
two that are pretty good. Maybe they're building blocks, maybe
you use them to trade for some I don't know.
I mean Danny Wolf. I watched him at Yale, I
watched him at Michigan. And good passer. Okay, so now
you got five guys who can pass the ball for
the Nets. Okay. They are worse things to have, yeah, Paully.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And also the development. Tyrese Maxey was the I think
he was the twentieth pick of the draft, not a
high end pick, not a low pick. His first year,
he started eight games and average eight points. Last year
he averaged twenty seven. But it took three years, four
years to get there.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And I remember seeing him and I even said to Marvin,
I said, he'll be the best player on the team
one day. They'll build around Tyrese Maxy. But it's only
because you're watching them play and then you see the graduation,
like they went from this to this. It's like Anthony Davis.
I said, he's unbelievably skilled, and nobody thought that he
(08:23):
could be. You know, it's like Patrick Ewing came in
and people didn't realize he could shoot a jumper. Anthony
Davis had a handle and because he had a growth spurt,
so he learned how to handle the ball because he
was smaller. And I said, that guy will be the
best player in the draft. Now, sometimes you see it,
sometimes you don't. I mean Luca, I only so highlights
(08:45):
of him in the European League, and I should have
factored in a little bit more of how old they
were and how old he was, and he was the
MVP and playing in those leagues in those conditions, in
those environments. There's no NBA environment and no arena that
comes close to some of those places that he played in. Yes, Mark, Hey,
(09:06):
you saw the.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
First round of the draft where they were just nothing
but freshman, you know, being drafted in the second round.
You saw super seniors getting in there in the first round.
Is basically, hey, we have the potential to see this
with the super seniors that were picked in the second round.
We've already seen your best work. Or why were you
in school for four years? If you were that good,
(09:27):
you wouldn't have been in school for four maybe five years.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Also, here's something. I don't know the timeframe on this,
but it's going to happen here in the next probably
two weeks, and that is voting on if they're going
to expand March Madness probably going to be maybe two
week period. And I don't have this nailed down. I'm
just from what I'm told and my college sources have
(09:51):
been impeccable throughout all of this, going back, you know,
to COVID. It might be one of those where it's
kind of voted on in summer and and they sneak
it past us. Nobody is asking for expansion. By the way,
there's no rallying like college football. It's like, yeah, man,
you got to go to sixteen, Like that happened as
(10:11):
soon as you get to twelve to go to sixteen.
That's not happening in college basketball. Do I think there's
going to be expansion.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I do.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Do I think it's going to go to seventy two.
I do. There's still the possibility that it could go
to seventy six. But I think they're going to vote
on that, and I think they'll be you know, they're
going to expand it a little bit. And I think
you can do it and it doesn't really impact the tournament.
It'll just be more of those first four games, and
(10:40):
I think if we kind of beef that up, it
can be more of an event. I don't like you
play into the tournament. I just don't like that you're
either in the tournament or you're not. But if they
want to have language that says that, that's fine. But
I think they're going to be voting on this in
the next two weeks. I think they're going to expand.
I don't think seventy six. I think it's going to
(11:02):
be seventy two. So they add four more teams. Once again,
nobody asked for it, but it just felt like there
was this ground swell and some of the coaches are
talking about this. Well, of course, they are more opportunity
to make the tournament. Jim Mayheim said ninety six. I
was like, Jim, what is wrong with you? In a retirement? Yes,
(11:24):
Marvint just.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
More coaches to complain when they don't make the tournament. No,
nobody gets to complain like you were seventeen and fourteen.
You have plenty of opportunity not to lose fourteen games.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yes, Todd, we can't call.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
It the first aid, So it's the first four, the
next four. We got to come up with a kep.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Titlee Yes, everything has to have a title to it.
And if we have a literation, even better March madness, yes, Martin,
the first is four. Well, it's the first is eight.
Maybe it's an awful idea, I know, but I believe it's
(11:58):
going to happen. And the vote who's going to take place?
I think soon? But nobody asked for it. Poll question
Dylan for the final hour of this program.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
All right, Dan, well we teased it last hour. But
have you ever been hit hard by a fictional character's death?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh? Okay, yeah, if you're going all about that, uh,
Bamby hit me pretty hard. That's a classic. Yeah, Bambi did.
I didn't understand that when I was really really young.
Still don't understand it. And I remember my mom talking
to me about life and death and I don't know.
(12:37):
Was I five, Like, I didn't, I didn't like, I
didn't know pets died. I didn't know Bambi was going
to die, but kind of crushed me a little bit.
Uh So, fictional character. We talked about this with Marge Simpson.
They I guess faked her death or people thought that
she died on The Simpsons and that's not the case
(12:58):
any other Todd, did you have a fictional character growing
up that died that impacted you? No? Really, you know, I.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Got teary eyed from BAMBI also Old Yeller, that Old
Yeller would die. I don't know. I don't know what
happened to.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The dog very much. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of
Old Yeller was a bummer too. I thought Lassie lived
on forever and I found out Little Timmy, you know,
lost Lassie. They had a couple of Lassies on there. Yes, yes, Bully.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
When I was a little kid, it was a big
deal at the time. Mash was the most popular sitcom
spoiler here. Henry Blake passed away in the middle of
the show, like halfway through the series. He left the show,
and it was a shocker when they announced.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That he died.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, Marvin, did you have anything that jolted your childhood?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Thomas, the Macaulay Culkin character in My Girl, He had
an allergic reaction to bees and then he hit like
a big bee hive and he didn't make it.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Saw the glasses just laying there like no, yeah, paul
that was a big deal.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
When that happened, a lot of people were like little
kids are in the movie theaters and thought this was
this feel good young relationship movie. And then mcaulay Culkin's
character dies.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I didn't see the movie. Oh spoiler, yeah, no, need
to see it now, No need to see it now, Noboddy,
Alex in Utah, Hi Alex, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Hey, good morning, gentlemen. I haven't seen Mago Girl either,
but just from the cover, I know I don't want
to watch you, just because I know it's going to
be devastating. I can't watch McAuley culkin. Yeah, that's a
good poll, Marvin, so real quick.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I just want to I don't think people paid enough
attention to Polly's theory about the step back. I did
a little bit of research, and step back jumpers are
on the rise in the last decade, and I just
think about the mechanics of pushing back with one foot
and then stopping all your momentum with the other foot.
I don't think that doctor gave Paulie enough. He didn't
(15:04):
mull it over enough. I think we need a second
opinion on that one.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
All right, thank you. Alex. Paulie thought that the step
back jumper may be leading to the rash and the
epidemic of achilles injuries. I think having shoes that aren't
high tops could have an impact on this. But yeah,
there's more step back jumpers. Because nobody was doing a
(15:28):
step back jumper ten years ago, there has to be
more step back jumpers. I think it might be more
of that you don't wear high tops anymore, and maybe
the support. The Mets lost a pitcher last night, guy
that the Angels drafted Canning. He was just backing up.
So you have these random injuries that bring about the
(15:51):
same result of a torn achilles ruptured achilles. I mean,
who was taking a step back jumper when they did this, PAULI.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
See, I don't necessarily think that the injury could always
happen on a step back jumper. I think it's the
for the past ten years. My guess is that guards,
especially shooters, are practicing the step back jumper hundreds of
times daily and that leads to stress on the calf
and the whole area. And I can't think of any
other explanation for the recent ones in the past ten years.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I'd go with the shoes. I'd go with high tops.
Nobody's wearing high tops anymore. Of all these guys who
blew out their achilles, how many were wearing low cut shoes.
Dame Durant, Halliburton, all low cuts, Kobe, So that's had
(16:44):
something to do with it. Maybe I don't know. The
NBA is, you know, they're doing some real research on this,
you know, maybe they come up with something there help
you prevent this. All right, He's got one of the
great nicknames, the Big Dumper Seanle Mariners catcher cal R.
He's got thirty two home runs. He is, he's doing
things that haven't been done before by a catcher. Prior
(17:05):
to the All Star Break. He'll join us. Coming up
next here, Dan Patrick Show. Fox Sports Radio has the
best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of
our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within the
iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. Hi, this is Jay.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
I'm the producer of the Pauli and Toni Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they ask you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get Camps.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Who wha, what what the hell are you doing in
our studio?
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Get him Paulis. Ignore that fool.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Listen to the Paula and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
He's still moving.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Cal Rawley catcher for the Seattle Mariners, and he leads
all of baseball and home runs and RBIs. Twenty twenty
five is obviously a career season, but he's had home
runs before each of the last three seasons. He's led
all catchers twenty seven homers, then thirty, then thirty four,
and he joins us Now, cow, what's different this year
(18:11):
as opposed to the last couple of years.
Speaker 11 (18:16):
I think really just me trying to be consistent at
the plate and not you know, going up and changing
a bunch of things mid season, trying to you know,
go down rabbit holes so you know, even if I
do have a bad game or two, just really trying
to stay within myself and my approach and folks on
what I can do rather than what the pictures shrying
to do to me?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
How often do you go up to the plate trying
to hit a home run?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Well, usually when I do, it doesn't work out very well.
Speaker 11 (18:44):
So it's you know, the I guess the old saying,
you know, kind of happens by accident. So you know, pictures,
you know, you to take advantage of the mistakes when
they do. And I'm just trying to square it up
and hit it through the middle of the field.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You're in there. Pretty famous people here, like when you
look at what you've accomplished. The number of players to
reach thirty home runs before the end of June, Babe
Ruth Ken, Griffy Junior, Sammy So said Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds,
Albert Poohols sho heyo, Tani Aaron Judge. Pretty good list there?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Does that seem very fitting? Forny?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
But how do you do you embrace this that you belong.
This shouldn't be viewed as who is this guy and
where did he come from? If are you surprised at
how great you have played this year?
Speaker 11 (19:38):
I mean, you know, you always want to have that
confidence as a baseball player going to the box. You
want to feel like you're the best player in the world, right,
But you know, I think you know the real side
of it now, I don't. You know, it's hard to
kind of fathom, you know, you know, especially when you
rattle off names like that. So anytime you're in that
kind of you know, company me with hearing those names,
(20:02):
you know you're doing something, you know pretty good. So
really just trying to you know, keep my head down
and try to keep going, you know, not really trying
to think about that too much, and just trying to
see how far I can go.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You get recognized outside of Seattle.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Outside of Seattle, yeah, not very much. Noh sometimes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But you could walk out of your hotel in Arlington
right now, Oh yeah, easy and go anywhere. You could
go to lunch. You could wear your jersey, you could
wear your full uniform, and people might not realize who
you are.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:39):
It's uh, it's you know, just a pretty average looking dude.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
So I'm not you know, Aaron Judge. He's pretty big dude.
You can you can kind of recognize him, not not
mean quite so much.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Okay, but you got a great nickname.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I think it's yeah, one of the better ones.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So okay, when you first heard it. Who gave you
that nickname?
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Uh so Jared kellnick. We came up through the miners.
Uh he played with us for a couple of years
with the Braves now he he tweeted it out as
soon as I debuted, and you know, I think people
thought it was really funny at first, and then.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Wait, but what leads him to call you the big Dumper?
Speaker 11 (21:21):
So I have a I have a you know, a
big butt, and that's uh, that's it's kind of been
a running thing since I've been in high school. You know,
it's just kind of been It's like, wow, he just
you know, just kind of sticks out like that guy's
got a really big butt.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
And he was always commenting on in the minor.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Leagues and then and then obviously get called up and
that happens, didn't really play well and then start playing well,
and people just kind of like took off with They
loved it that that was really funny and Seattle's kind
of made it, made it there kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
So so it's kind of a Kim Kardashian thing, you know.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It's yeah, kind of like that kind of like.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Your your calling card. There is there a sponsorship here
with a big dumper.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
No, I mean not yet. I mean we'll see what
We'll see what's out there. Maybe getting on this show.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Maybe we'll get some how about how about dude wipes?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Dude wipes would be a good one kind of fit.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Right, Uh, Toto toilets.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
There you go, any kind of a day.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Your agent should be doing this for you.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I know you you should. They should be on it
after the show.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yes, I mean this is a big deal there, big
big opportunities. We're talking to Cal Rawley, the Mariners catcher.
Who was your like idol or who did you kind
of pattern yourself since you're a switch hitting catcher. Not
many of those?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, you're right, there's not a lot of those. I'd say.
I grew up a diehard Red Sox fan, so Jason
Vertek was kind of my guy growing up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Have you met him?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, I've got to meet him a few times.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
He's on staff with the Socks right now, so I've
got to chat with them a little bit. But yeah,
I loved him obviously, him being a sweat hitter catcher
and you know, him having the sea on his chest,
you know, as the captain was a really cool thing
growing up and just somebody I idled and or was
my idol.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
And it was great to watch. And you know, I
watched a bunch of other catchers.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
As well, you know, Posey Molina, those are some really
good ones as well, but the Veritext the one that
sticks out.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I was wondering if there was any correlation between being
a catcher and being a good hitter, because you're so
used to seeing pitches that you call for these pitches,
you know what it looks like, the spin, change up,
how it comes out of the hand. Is there any
correlation there of helping you as a hitter by being
a catcher.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yeah, I mean I believe so.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
I mean, you know, I think as a catcher, you know,
I spend most of my time doing scouting reports, talking
with pictures about how they want attack hitters, going over
their weaknesses. So I think you can kind of flip
flop that and use that as an advantage as as
a hitter. And you know, you can kind of you
can kind of think along sometimes with with other catchers
(24:10):
and other pictures and see how they're attacking you and
go off the patterns and and pass how they pitched you.
So it's taking some time to kind of learn how
to do that. But but so I'd say that it
definitely helps be in the catcher because you can you
can understand that part of a little bit. But at
the end of the day, you still got to go
out and put a good swing on the ball and
(24:30):
and find something in the heart of the play.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
How do you feel when the pitch you called for
is hit for a home run?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You don't feel good?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean, do you apologize? Have you apologized to your
picture gone out to the mound?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (24:48):
Because sometimes I mean, you know, I think at the
end of the day, it's all about execution, you know,
when it's coming out of the picture's hand. But there are
sometimes where you're like, you know, maybe I I messed
that one up, or you know, I think it just
goes hand in hand as a as a battery, you know,
as a picture and catcher, you're working together, and you know,
sometimes you mess up, sometimes you get it right. It's
(25:08):
just kind of how it goes as as the catcher.
You know, you you you wear some of those a
little harder than others, depending on the situation and depending
on what you call it. So you know, sometimes it's
on the picture sometimes it's on the catcher.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
It's just kind of how it goes.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
How long are you allowed to admire a home run
that you've hit?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Uh? I think you can take a good look at it,
but you know you don't want to. You don't want
to be that guy.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
You don't want to take too long, and you know
you don't want to show anybody up on the opposing side.
And next thing you know, you're one of your teammates
getting thrown at or you're getting thrown at.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
So but once you get past first base, col oh.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
I you know, I have a pretty decent job. You know,
I don't take too much time around the bases. I
just you know, you got to show love to the
bullpen because they're rooting on out there, so you give
them a little point and then and then you you
crossed home and you go get the gear on this.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
How it goes?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
What's a home run sound like?
Speaker 11 (26:09):
I mean typically they sound pretty loud that usually when
you get them good, you don't it doesn't feel like
you hit anything. It just kind of feels like it
was just like a smooth swaying, like almost like a
dry dry hack. So it feels good. And when you
get it sweet though you can.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
It's pretty loud, the crack of the bat.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
And what's the stolen bases? What do you got nine
stolen bases?
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah? I got nine this year.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I am are you deceptively fast?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Say?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Are you? You're sneaky fast?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Sneaky fast? I think I still I broke the record.
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Our manager here was the catcher for a while with
the Mariner, Stan Wilson, and had he held the record
for a catcher in the org and I broke it
this year, and I thought about doing the whole rooky.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
After the game today. I'm the greatest, that's right of all.
Did they give you the bag after you set the
organizational record for solon bases? No?
Speaker 11 (27:04):
That was unfortunately it was only like seven, so it
wasn't number.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Johnny Bench, to me, the greatest catcher I ever saw,
and he's very impressed with you, has some great things
to say about you. That's the highest praise I think
you could get because Bench was a great athlete, power hitter,
and I think the greatest defensive catcher of all time.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
So yeah, that's I mean, getting getting that kind of
lot from him, And what he said was, you know,
it means the whole world to me.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So I got to meet him this year at the
etic Old Glub banquet.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh cool.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Got to talk with.
Speaker 11 (27:40):
Him for a couple a couple hours and just sit
and talk all of them and it was just amazing.
Hearing the stories and getting to chat with him was awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, great to talk to you. Good luck. I think
your second in the MVP race according my odds this morning.
I've got Aaron Judge and then you.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
So I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I mean, that's not bad not bad company here striking going. Yeah,
all right, well you can stay anonymous maybe just walking around,
but not when you come to the plate. So continue
to do that and let's work on a sponsors ship there.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Col I appreciate you, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That's Kyl Raleigh calling the Big Dumper. He's fine with
that great nickname and sneaky, sneaky athletic as well. Stealing
some bases there. But he hit home runs before. I
think people maybe would be surprised that he's led catchers
and what's the al time record Kent City Royals catcher Perez, Yeah,
(28:41):
he had forty eight. I think that's the ALZ time record.
You'll see guys though, that have unbelievable first halfs of
the season. And I think Reggie Jackson hit thirty seven
home runs first half of the season, and I think
he hit ten or twelve the second and a half
of the season. Might ended up with forty seven or
(29:03):
forty nine. Yeah, Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
The catcher list is Salvador Perez in twenty twenty one
forty eight, Hobby Lopez in three with forty three, Hobby Lopez, yeah,
Todd Hunley forty one in nineteen ninety six. Then you
go back to Roy Campanella nineteen fifty three with forty one,
Mike Piazza nineteen ninety nine with forty.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Wait oh home runs, Okay, yes, I thought you were
talking stolen bases. I'm going wait a Mike Piazza had
the picture. Yeah, I can't imagine Pizza running. You know
that they give him the green light? All right? A
couple of phone calls Dan in Connecticut, Hi, Dan, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 12 (29:40):
Hey guys? Hey Stafford Connecticut, six foot two, twenty first
time caller, longtime listener. So we were going back to
nicknames when I was in college ball and then went
to pro ball. Luckily, I just curached out, uh. For
(30:00):
the Seattle Learners, my nickname was Payo, and when I
got the pro ball, Payo for the Latin Americans was
Fart in Spanish. So during spring training and during all
my years of pro ball, they would recognize me as
Paloe and then go Payo and walk around and I
got pretty famous for that.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
All right, well, thank you Payo.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
That can't be good.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't think so. I mean I can I can
accept the big dumper. I don't think Payo. I'd have
maybe a little problem with that.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
And they're making the sound effect and calling you that
I just double problem.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Thank you, Todd Jacob been Illinois. Hi Jake, what's on
your mind today?
Speaker 13 (30:47):
Hey Dan, thanks for taking my call first time, long time,
five seven one fifty. I had I had a question
or I really wanted your opinion on the nca tournament
Expand they've had these first four games in the past
couple of years now, and I've always been a little
thrown off. How come they have You'll have two eleven
(31:08):
seeds playing each other instead of all these sixteen seeds
that get directly into the first round instead of the
first four. Shouldn't the first four, the sixteen seed versus
sixteen seed, and then play your way into the tournament.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, I think they like that sixteen seed that's always
going to be there to start March madness. But there
is a formula for the teams. It's the last teams
that go in. But you know, the sixteen seed is
already in the tournament. These other ones, you know, it's
(31:44):
just where they are that they they've already had the
sixty eight and now you add or sixty four and
then you add the other four.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, Mark, Yeah, I love that because I don't think
the sixteenth or fifteen should be in it. It should
be those eleven twelves that barely got in those other
sixteen seats. They had to win their conference tournament, you know,
So why should we have to go to Dayton. We
won our conference tournament. We should be able to go
to the actual tournament.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
The sixty four it should yeah, an automatic birth. Yeah,
but I like having the sixteens play. I like them
being in the tournament, the actual tournament. All right, we'll
take a break. Last call for phone calls, will do
the who had the Best Week in Sports? And if
you're watching on Peacock and of course you should be.
We're gonna go out to the Treeger Grills after this.

Yeah, Anchorman great. Yeah, he's had a lot of great movies.
He hasn't really missed ever, No, he has, and they
all miss Yeah, they all do. He didn't like Bewitched, No,
he wish is pretty good. I like you Witched. We're
(34:51):
just not going to agree today, just not what is
something we would agree on? Uh, Todd is whining now.
See I think Todd's a sweetheart. Okay, it's got my
back here in the back, I can't see him. But yeah, yeah,
Seaton's got all of his uh soccer scarves there for
a reason. So he didn't have to see Todd Dylan
(35:13):
in Tennessee. Hi Dylan, what's on your mind today? D
and six foot two hundred.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
The wife and I have been going to some cape
Cod League baseball games this summer and there's.
Speaker 12 (35:25):
Been a real black of enthusiasm on the.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Third strike call. So, hey, I call you up.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
There we go, There we go. You have an example
of what a real one sounds like.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
So I appreciate it. What's your wife's name, Laura Hey,
Laura Hey, that's that's what I just I just threw
Dylan out. Although you're going to the cape Cod League,
I appreciate that. I've been there on great setting. Jeff
Bagwell cape Cod League? Was he a cape Cod guy?
(35:56):
I remember seeing him in New Britain, New the brit Socks.
Remember seeing him in the minor leagues?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Yes, when you can get chowder at a concession stah, that's.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Where you make your name for yourself. I remember there's
a video out there. Ken Kaiser. Ken Kaiser was the
home plate umpire and I hope I have the story right.
Ken Kaiser left handed umpire like he would always punch
you out with his left hand, and when he called
like close played first and he would just do that.
(36:34):
He got hit one time in the mask with a pitch,
and I think he was accusing the catcher of doing
it on purpose. So Kaiser got blasted right in the mask,
and then he threw the ball to the pitcher on
the ground. He was the home plate umpire, and I
think he gets hit right in right between the eyes
(36:57):
and he is so upset at the pitcher. Yes, Paul,
I got the video.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Kevin Malar was at the plate.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It's a Yankees game.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Ken Kaiser, I guess, was a former wrestler, big strong dude.
He gets very upset, and like you said, he rolls
it right back to the pitcher and it looks like
they're going to get into it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I've never seen that before. That The umpire gets the ball. Well,
I've never seen a catcher purposely not catch it to
get the umpire and he rolls the ball back to
the mound. It's pretty wild. Yeah, how about this day
in sports history?
Speaker 5 (37:33):
I just got one for you, Okay, this is fun.
In Atlantic City nineteen eighty eight, Mike Tyson knocked out
Michael Spinks in only ninety one second.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, he was there. That was a big deal. And
I remember Danny Iello the actor and Matt Dillon the actor,
and I remember being ringside, and that fight didn't last long.
(38:03):
It was almost like it was over before he even
threw a punch because Tyson came in the ring, and
all I did is stare at Michael sphinx. And if
Michael could have just did just tapped down just like there,
if there was an ejector seat, he would have sat
at it and just said, ah, keep your money. Who
(38:25):
had the best week in sports? Todd? The best week
in sports? The Utah Jazz.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
In their draft, they weren't afraid to select East Bailey
with a fifth pick, even though he was reportedly one
of the teams that he his agent didn't want to
go to.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Then they go up and.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
Get Florida's Walter Clayton Junior. They get John Tanji out
of Wisconsin in the second round.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
It picked fifty three.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Nicely done by the Utah Jazz. I pronounced John Tanji

but you said nicely done.
