He's been involved in sports all his 9 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.079 all his life, both both as a just a fan and in his career 10 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.600 a former sports information guy at at Arizona and so he's done a lot of 11 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.600 work there. And then Ryan running the board today for the first time and 12 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.439 doing a great job. Ryan. So this is it. Ryan, you're 13 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.399 up breaking news. This is Eye on the Ball breaking news on Fox Sports 14 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.560 fourteen fifty eight. All right, so we'll just we'll stick with the NBA 15 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.920 for now. Patrick Beverly from the Milwaukee Bucks has been suspended for four games 16 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:11.719 without pay for throwing a ball into the stands at a fan. The other 17 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.079 night, he threw it the fan, He asked for the fan throw it 18 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.959 back, and then he threw it again right at the fan's face. All 19 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.680 right, huh, all right, what I think that is a weenie weenie 20 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:33.879 weenie punishment for that. I feel like he should have been suspended like half 21 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.120 the season. You can't. You can't do that. No, you certainly 22 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.400 can't. You throw that. You throw a ball at a player, that's 23 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.680 a four game suspension. You can't throw the ball not once, but twice 24 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.040 at the fan and get a four game suspension. I thought he should I 25 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.560 initially thought he should have been suspended for the season. Really, yes, 26 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:00.799 do you know you got? You got? We're not gonna. I don't 27 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:07.120 want to live the malice at the Palace Okayan. I mean I saw it 28 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:08.879 as it was happening, and you know, we were we were in Vegas 29 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.639 and walked into the sports book as it happened. I was about to say, 30 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.560 you're just randomly watching Patriots. No, No, we we were. 31 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.960 We had had it happened during our our our fall trip to Vegas, and 32 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.120 we walked into the the Mandalay sports book right as it happened. We're like, 33 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.439 what the hell is going on? And they're in there duking it out 34 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.960 with with with fans. It's not it's certainly more than four, okay, 35 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:43.280 twenty ah the course of the season. I know you can't throw the No, 36 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.120 you can't. I don't want to Ryan. I don't want to be 37 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.159 put in a position where I'm defending Patrick Ryan. I mean I would, 38 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:57.120 I would say maybe fifteen games. I was gonna say ten. Ah, 39 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.960 Man, I don't know. Oh, well it's four? Four okay? 40 00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.759 Do we agree? Four is not enough? I don't really care, to 41 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.599 be completely honest, It doesn't really bother me. It bothers me. I 42 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:14.039 didn't see four and like, oh, that's nothing like and then and then 43 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:22.919 what's his name? The Jamal Murray right through the stuff at the refs and 44 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.719 they give him one hundred thousand dollars. He's got that, He's got that 45 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.360 in the coin thing in his car. What the hell? They don't want 46 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.000 to they don't want to suspend it. Now, if he had hit the 47 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.680 ref he would have gotten banged for a few games. But the fact that 48 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:47.000 it didn't hit anybody, I think. I think Adam Silver is just he 49 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.479 don't want to just you don't want to developing a reputation of being really soft 50 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.840 on these guys for you. You don't want to suspend your guy or one 51 00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.479 of the biggest players in the in the postseason for that. I've I'm sorry, 52 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.520 I did. I take that you were going to do that one too. 53 00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.599 The one hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars for throwing stuff at 54 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.599 the roof A lot of money. That's not to those Yes, one hundred 55 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.919 thousands. Still lot, it's a black jacket. No, one hundred thousand 56 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:24.759 dollars. Still it's a blackjack A lot of money. Like, oh, 57 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.040 hold on, hold on, that's fourteenth Sorry it's bad radio. Um. 58 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.079 Yeah, he's making thirty million, one hundred thousand dollars. Still a lot. 59 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.480 Not okay, not enough. He should have he should have lost a 60 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.319 game or two as well. Yeah, well the evil he didn't. So 61 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.360 I'm you're talking to the wall here. So anyways, all right, go 62 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.839 ahead, Ryan. So the New York Knicks Ford oj On Aobi he's gonna 63 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.920 miss Game three of the semifinals with a left hamstring. He had a career 64 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:03.879 high up playoff career high points the other night after jam and Brunson went down 65 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:12.040 with the uh so new excuse. I don't know is he's gonna be out 66 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.600 for game three? Is questionable for game three as well. Og is probably 67 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.959 gonna be out for the series. You don't just have a little hamstring. 68 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:26.279 The hamstrings don't go away after a couple of days. And they only play 69 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.120 like eight guys and two of them already down between O G and uh Robinson. 70 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.480 What do you think of that series? And I like this series. 71 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.600 Both games have been close, right and now that they go to Indiana, 72 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.399 so that should be that should be fun. Do you see the regiment Regi 73 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.680 Miller stuff when Josh Hart came to the Yeah, well that was fun. 74 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.680 Well did you I could hear it? Yes, because there's somebody put up 75 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.560 on you know, on on on Twitter the c and then I mean it 76 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.319 was no mistaking what they were doing. And then he comes and says that 77 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.879 to regiment Edgie Miller on the thing. Then Reggie did a really funny thing 78 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.959 he did. He did a live Instagram live just sitting out on a like 79 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:14.079 at a park in New York and just seeing if people would come by. 80 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.279 And Tom do you know, give him the effort or if they would be 81 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.959 nice to him, and everybody that came by was really nice to him. 82 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.279 When it comes down to it, when you see someone face to face, 83 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.800 most people, yeah, they're not going to do that. They're not gonna 84 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.920 do that. But that was that was pretty funny. All right, go 85 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.360 ahead, Ryan, So switching over to University of Arizona, the women's are 86 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:40.040 good to say softball team is headed to the PAC twelve. Right is the 87 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.800 game at six point thirty in Stanford. They're taking on University of Washington. 88 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.759 They got Washington as U one last night and the sort of the play in 89 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.839 game where the early bracking game and they won, and they they played this 90 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.519 morning, No this morning or do they played this afternoon or they were taking 91 00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:01.920 on UCLA probably soon if not right now. They UH Utah beat I saw 92 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:08.120 the Utah beat Oregon this morning. Utah's the the lower seeded team there. 93 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.680 They were the six, Oregon was the three. UH. The game was 94 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.240 tied in I just happened to have it on. Game was tied in the 95 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.920 sixth inning and UH Utah hit a three run homer to win that. I 96 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.240 didn't see what happened to the uh. The next game was going to be 97 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:32.079 Stanford and who who's Who's Like Stanford beat Calk you start, okay, and 98 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.199 then Arizona in Washington. Uh, the automatic bid into the NCAA tournament goes 99 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.759 goes to the tournament champion. But you know, I think, you know, 100 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.040 I think Arizona's safely in. It's just yeah, they want to host, 101 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.360 they do, they want to host. It would be great for the 102 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:55.560 fans here. So all right.

Wow, 113 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:48.039 I don't remember watching I think it's eight Finals Celtics Lakers when Huhlen Davis and 114 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.840 Nate Robinson we're watching some point. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 115 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.120 yeah. I have vivid memories of that. Yeah. Okay, wow, 116 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.440 big baby man.

I'll leave that sit right there. All right? Okay, is 119 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.759 that is that it? You got any Okay? All right, I want 120 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.360 to have this conversation. We got about five minutes before we go to break 121 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.480 and then bring in Greg Hanson. Okay, here's the show hay topic on 122 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.679 this morning on Dan Patrick, Tim Kirchen was on because they're talking about. 123 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.960 First of all, Dan Patrick came across his stat that Baby Ruth won one 124 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.600 MVP, only one really, but that was because they didn't start giving it 125 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.960 until nineteen thirty one. Then also you were only allowed to win it one 126 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.600 time. So so he said, dumb rules back in like all sports, 127 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.639 like the early nineteen times, and Kirchen made the comment, if it was 128 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.120 like today, that Baby Ruth would have won ten. Okay, but then 129 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.399 he got into the whole you know, he was a pitcher, and then 130 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.120 he was pitching for for for Boston, and then he went over to the 131 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.200 one to the Yankees, and the Yankees didn't want him to pitch anymore because 132 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.279 they just wanted him to hit it because if he became a hitter. The 133 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.639 discussion about show Hey was you know, Patrick asked, asked a Kirsten. 134 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.759 Do you think show Hay will ever pitch again? Yes, that you know? 135 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.440 Will he will he come back and pitch? Well, the Dodgers let 136 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.519 him pitch, Will he want to pitch the hit or maybe go do what 137 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.720 Babe Ruth did and go play the outfield. I don't think he'll ever play 138 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.639 that. They wouldn't have given him that money if they didn't intend to have 139 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.320 him pitch again. Here's what I think is gonna happen. He will be 140 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.240 a starter for the next two three four years. Right as long as he's 141 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.080 you know, his arm is good, I'll go be the closer. Oh, 142 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.480 John Smoltz kind of thing. I would honestly even be okay if he 143 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.080 was. No, I do want to I want a couple more years of 144 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.480 him being cy young starter. Yeah, I think he's going to be a 145 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.480 closer. Here with him. Oh, that's a cool one. That'd be 146 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.360 an I'd love that. If he was doing it for the Dodgers, he's 147 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.360 going to well, I know, but you never know them. They're not 148 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.879 gonna they just they just put out another They have another Japanese sponsorship. They're 149 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.720 making so much much money, they're they're paying for the salaries. Right, 150 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.159 and then Yamamoto. Right, you have those two guys. I mean, 151 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.080 the craziness of all that. There's another guy coming next to you, but 152 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:30.279 he says is better than seriously named Roki Sasaki. Yamamoto was throwing is gas 153 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:37.000 before last was harder, and he threw a rehear ball. He threw a 154 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.080 curveball that would have made me cry. Okay, he because he's throwing you 155 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.879 know, he throws me high nineties, high ninety, high nine. And 156 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.799 then he throws this curve ball that it broke like four feet. I mean, 157 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.519 it's just it was going at the guy's head and then just dove right 158 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.720 over the plate, and it's like, what do you do with that bitch? 159 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.360 And the splitter he has unfair. It was just I'm like, the 160 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.600 way you get to him is if you get to his fastball, his fastballs, 161 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.799 hittable. Right, he's gonna have to figure that out. What his 162 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.039 other stuff is? Yeah, who do you go? He went like, 163 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.279 I think seven or eight innings the other night, seven seven innings. Ever 164 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.399 since that first came money, Yeah, Dodgers freaking won six in a row. 165 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.639 No, you do know, I've made you more than nowhere to that 166 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.559 for. But no, I think he's gonna keep pitching. They wouldn't have 167 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.399 signed him ten years, seven hundred million to just be ah. I mean, 168 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.200 he's he and I guess we knew this. But since he was with 169 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.279 the Angels, he wasn't as available, right, Yes, he was to 170 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.159 watch every day he was. He's just as available as the Dodgers. But 171 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.840 I mean nobody, nobody. I mean, because the Dodgers now are they're 172 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.039 the regional broadcast every day. They didn't do that with the Angels. So 173 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.759 it would when he pitched, when he pitched, okay, but not every 174 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.360 single day. Now the Dodgers are there, must see TV because you know 175 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.000 he's gonna come up, come up to hit, uh, you know, 176 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.000 every day and and you and you have that. So it's I'm I'm really 177 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.759 happy with the Dodgers. And I know Greg Hanson, who's gonna come on 178 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.519 here in a couple of minutes, probably is not. That's been fun. 179 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.480 Here's if you want to When he was in Japan, I was like, 180 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.360 I don't want to say following him. I knew about him. You knew 181 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.080 about him for multiple years before he came to the United States. I was 182 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.200 like, they need to go get this guy. Yeah, yeah. How 183 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.799 did he wind up with the Angels? I think there's there's a lot of 184 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.480 theories to it. Some people say he wanted to play with Mike Trout because 185 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.519 at the time, Trout was the best player, and he wanted to see, 186 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.480 Okay, this is the best guy. What do I need to do 187 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.480 to play with the best guy? And the Angels really just botched that up 188 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.240 and Trout guy, you know, injuries and sure, but they just didn't 189 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:54.799 do enough for the The Angels to a higher degree did like kind of what 190 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.759 the Sons did. They're putting Okay, we've got Albert poolholes. Now. 191 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.600 I don't blame really forgetting Albert Poohles, good player, but like even recently, 192 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.720 like oh we've got we're gonna go get Anthony Rendon and spend a ton 193 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.120 of money on him. We look at all these big, really good players 194 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.480 that we have. What could go wrong? Well, everything, everything, 195 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:16.600 everything I didn't like to I remember, you're gonna laugh that I can remember 196 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.480 this when I don't remember other easier things. I was at a car wash 197 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.480 when the when the news came across to the Albert Pooholes had signed with the 198 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.559 Angels, and I'm like, what are they doing? Yeah? He was, 199 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.399 he was Cole on the On the down side, he was very old 200 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.159 to give that big contract. I've had conversations with Angels fans, they like, 201 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.759 why would players ever, why would teams ever give players these like ten 202 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.919 fifteen year deals. I'm like, well, most of them don't get them 203 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.360 when don't start them when they're thirty three years old, right, yeah, 204 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.600 exactly. Like Bryce Harper signed a thirteen year deal. Well he signed when 205 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.039 he was twenty six years old. Yeah, Mookie Bets signed I think a 206 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.360 twelve year deal. He signed it when he was twenty seven years old. 207 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.440 Yeah, that's when you sign those exactly. All right, Okay, we're 208 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.559 at time for this segment. We're going to take a break, We're going 209 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.360 to come back.

And they went into 336 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.759 a discussion about Babe Ruth and how we went from the Red Sox to the 337 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.079 Yankees. They didn't want him to pitch anymore. He wanted him to head 338 00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.279 and so he know he didn't. He didn't pitch anymore. But you know, 339 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:04.640 show Hey with the with the with the arm injury and stuff. You 340 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:08.720 know Adams was saying he'll pitch. He at least pitched a couple more years. 341 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.279 What do you do you think he needs to pitch to continue to be 342 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.920 show Hay as we know him. No, I don't, because he's so 343 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:25.519 extraordinary as a hitter. I think he's established himself just in that alone. 344 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:30.119 But I'm sure hope he keeps pitching because he's an All Star as a pitcher. 345 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.359 Don't you think he's mean? He cy young candidate is a pitcher. 346 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.640 Yeah, so I floated this. I think he'll pitch for a couple of 347 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.039 years as a starter, two or three, four years, and then he'll 348 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.920 become a closer. Yeah, I think that that would be a good thing. 349 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.160 Yeah, yeah, just to so now, are you are you mad 350 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.680 that he went to the Dodgers or do you wish you'd gone anywhere else? 351 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:57.160 Or are you okay with where he is? Yeah? Because the Dodgers. 352 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.680 Dodgers elevates all of maj League baseball, I think, and having him in 353 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.160 that visible position helps the game and uh makes it more interesting than me because 354 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.480 I hate the Dodgers and I love watching him. I love watching it. 355 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.039 Yeah, I mean I turned on the TV to watch him, and I 356 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.440 would, you know, anyways, because I watched the Dodgers, you know, 357 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.079 every day. But you know, when he was with the Angels, 358 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.079 you know, if I if I saw that he was coming up to bat, 359 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.440 I'd go to the TV, you know, I put on you know, 360 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.160 the NB TV to watch him hit and and you know, and it's 361 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.920 unmistakable, you know, his home rooms. It just sound so much different. 362 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:37.119 I know people keep saying that, but they really do. I mean, 363 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.319 somebody hit a monster shot the other day and I don't know who it 364 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.559 was. I mean, like a four hundred and fifty foot shot, and 365 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.640 I watched it to see what it sounded, and it sounded nothing like show 366 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.359 Hayes Homers. Was it Stanton? Wow? Could have been Stanton? It 367 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.119 might have been, and it just didn't say it just didn't sound the same. 368 00:25:53.240 --> 00:26:00.519 He swats the ball Stanton does. But Stanton had the the fastest home 369 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.519 run yesterday of the season so far, like a one hundred and twenty miles 370 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:10.400 that god have struck out after he's struck out twenty times in a row. 371 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.839 What do you think of your Yankees? My boy want Soto. I mean, 372 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.440 he's having a good year so far. Man, he's I didn't think 373 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.400 he could be as good as he is. He's the best player in the 374 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.960 American League right now, I would think. And they're a contender. That's 375 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.559 all I would ask for. Yeah, and you know he is on my 376 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.359 fantasy baseball team. So oh, I think when the time comes this summer 377 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:38.079 or this winter, you give the Yankees need to give one Sodo whatever, 378 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:44.000 Yes, yeah, whatever it is. And he's still very young, and 379 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.319 he's unbelievable. He's he he's a Yankee. I see him, and he 380 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.599 makes sense in the pinstripes to me. I don't know if you feels that 381 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.680 as long as he just looks like it, just as long as players at 382 00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:00.920 that level like Mike Trout don't get hidden anymore. Like, yeah, that 383 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.920 that's that's been one of the most unfortunate things that's happened to a great ballplayer, 384 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.039 the career path that he's had, and you know, really not been 385 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.519 able to, you know, be at the top of the I mean, 386 00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.680 he's wide, he recognizes, you know, one of the top five best 387 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.119 players in me in the majors, and yet you never see him. He's 388 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.839 never in the playoffs. He you know, you know, and then he's 389 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.839 hurt now and all the time, and it's just like you just feel so 390 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.759 bad for the guy. Yeah, But I also don't think he wants that 391 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.880 kind of spotlight. He doesn't want to be the face of baseball. Yeah, 392 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.160 he never did, so I think it goes both ways. He had 393 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.680 a chance to get out, yeah, and I think he wanted to win 394 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.559 it, win win something in uh Anaheim, But he's comfortable there and I 395 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.240 think he values it. Do you do you do you do you like baseball 396 00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:57.119 right now? I mean, in terms of all the changes that have happened 397 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.440 the way the game is played, DIDs different? Do you like it? 398 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:08.480 BOYD sure has evolved different to watching all the strikeouts and all the relief pitchers 399 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:15.079 and but yeah, because I, you know, from just like you, 400 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.359 from a kid, a kid, and now I never lost my interest in 401 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.359 it, but never kind of ebbed. So I'm still in it as much 402 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.680 as I used to be. I think baseball fans there, we're different. 403 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:32.880 I don't think there's that many things that Baseball could do that could drive away 404 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:38.519 their core fan base. I really don't. The only thing I missed is 405 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.759 every day reading the box scores in the newspaper because the papers don't run the 406 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:48.119 box scores anymore. I think, like all these rule changes and it's we're 407 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:51.359 still here, yeah, you know, yeah, And I think they're trying 408 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.599 to get all these new fans, which I don't know if it's worked or 409 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.640 not yet. I think we still need a couple more years to see. 410 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.319 But I don't think there's anything that they could do to run off. Yeah. 411 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.359 I still can't get used to it, and it's still happening now, 412 00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:07.200 even though they've got the rule. I still can't get used to a line 413 00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.039 shot, a great ball being hit hard up the middle and it's an out 414 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.839 more often than it's not. Did you see the play today with with Elie 415 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.519 Dela Cruz. Do you see this. Somebody hits a mash of a line 416 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:23.599 drive right up the middle, right past the picture's head and he was standing 417 00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:26.839 on second base and he caught it, and he don't and then and he 418 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.440 doubled the guy off and he was standing on the base. I'm honestly surprised 419 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.640 it took this long for baseball teams to realize, Hey, we should put 420 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.960 our shortstop in the middle when this guy is up to bat. It just 421 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.720 kind of like, have you ever seen videos of bay Ruth batting. I 422 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:48.200 wonder if they had that shift shift on him. Definitely not, Yeah, 423 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.559 but not he was hitting it over their heads anyways. But yeah, But 424 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.559 I mean I like it, and I like, you know, when you 425 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.720 talk about the other relief pictures and stuff like that, that what they've done 426 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.559 with the clock and all that stuff and those things. I think those things 427 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.839 have helped because you can sit down and watch a game in two and a 428 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:10.519 half hours, so you know, and so I do like to even even 429 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.279 you of a baseball I mean, I've I've been to I've been to three 430 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.759 games this year. All three of them have been under three hours. Man, 431 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:23.279 all three It wasn't that long ago with those games before. Yeah, 432 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.480 just all all three of them under three hours. You know, a four 433 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.319 to three game, a three uh you know, three to two game, 434 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.759 and you know there was even when that you know, there are more runs 435 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:37.200 in that, but it's there's just all under three hour games and it's just 436 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.799 so refreshing to do. To be able to do that. What what have 437 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:44.319 they cut last year? They've cut off like twenty six minutes from the year 438 00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.359 before something like that. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. That's that's huge. 439 00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.759 I mean, i mean we went to you know, you go you 440 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.400 go to a Dodger game, you know, up in Phoenix or whatever, 441 00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.599 and well, that's what we've done. You know, you're not you're not 442 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.519 getting home at one o'clock in the morning anymore. That's the only issue though, 443 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.640 is that you drive for four hours and you could have a two hour 444 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:11.759 well okay, god, this one you're speaking of that so that you back 445 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.519 in the day, you know, get when getting to Dodger Stadium what still 446 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:15.640 is a really special thing. But I mean it's like, okay, I'm 447 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.079 looking forward to all this year. You go to Dodger game in Dodger Stadium 448 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:23.279 and you just hope the game lasts while I saw. I had an hour 449 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:29.599 in fifty four minute Dodger game against the Cardinals one year, and I was 450 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:33.200 so upset because I mean, it took me longer to just get out of 451 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.920 the stadium. Then the game took right. It was a I remember Gary 452 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.920 Templeton was playing shortstop and he made a couple of incredible plays. Was like 453 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:45.279 a less than a two hour game at Dodger Stadium that year, and I 454 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.119 was so upset because it was like the only game I was going to for 455 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.279 the summer, and I hated that. Remember remember all the tail lights in 456 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:59.039 center field game every game, every game. The best one is when you 457 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.079 see Kirk Gibson's home and you see the tail lights and the breaks all come 458 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.319 the break lights all come on when as the ball is landing in the pavilion. 459 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.200 That's one of the great, the great images of that, of that 460 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.359 whole thing. All Right, we got a couple more minutes, So Greg, 461 00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:16.759 we've been talking. You know, we talk about the fact that we're 462 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:21.599 still talking about football and basketball because of all the transfer, portal stuff and 463 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.079 everything that's going on. Your kind of take on both of those and you 464 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.880 know what's happening with both the football team and the basketball team right now, 465 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.119 how things are getting built. And you know, again another one of those 466 00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:35.359 things. Are you used to this? Are you okay with it? You 467 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.720 know? What do you think about the way this all develops every year? 468 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:43.640 Now? I love the poetry of the Pac twelve, knowing where every weekend 469 00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:45.640 was going to be and how in rhythm it was and everything, And of 470 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.240 course that's gone now and I'm really going to miss that. But it looks 471 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.880 to me like Arizona is going to be even more competitive in the Big twelve, 472 00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:58.680 So maybe the average fan will enjoy it more even though it won't be 473 00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:02.240 as familiar for a long time. And I mean, well, we get 474 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.480 psyched up when Kansas State comes in to play football. You know, I 475 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:10.599 was ranked fourteenth, and will that'd be the same as watching Stanford coming in 476 00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.319 rank fourteenth. I guess it's going to be a tough change in a lot 477 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:21.799 of ways, but uh, especially in things like pack Cluve baseball, and 478 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:25.400 I just love pack Flulve basketball the way it's all in symmetry all those years. 479 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.640 And now, I mean, now, what you're going to play five 480 00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:36.680 teams twice? Miss six teams all together something like that. In basketball. 481 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.599 Oh, I hadn't heard that that that the structure of that's a twenty game 482 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:43.079 season. I haven't seen natural structure. Right, No, it's a twenty 483 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.400 twenty game conference season. Yeah, there's got to be. I bet there 484 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:50.799 are years Arizona doesn't even play Kansas. I don't think so. I think 485 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:57.240 the big smart to not they They can't every single every single you know, 486 00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.039 you mentioned Kansas State and football. That's a that's a has become a even 487 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.000 though it's a non conference game coming up with the in the football seam, 488 00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.239 that's going to be a huge game because that's really going to give us a 489 00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:13.159 sign of where Brent Brennan and the Wildcats are early on, don't you think? 490 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.719 Oh? Yeah? And plus plus Iowa stayed in Kansas for top twenty 491 00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:23.760 five teams this year. Yeah, So where's an easy touch Houston? Maybe? 492 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:31.719 Oh as u a Colorado as in Colorado, exactly where it was last 493 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:38.559 year. All right, Greg, appreciate you giving us some time this afternoon 494 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:42.079 and getting off the golf course, and well you will we will see you 495 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.760 on Saturday at the Football Foundation tournament.

We had Jim 559 00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:22.320 Anderson talking about the Arizona men's golf coach talking about they're getting started in the 560 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:28.599 in the regional up in West Lafayette, uh in the NCAA tournament. And 561 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.159 then we just had Greg Hanson on. Had some a lot of baseball conversation. 562 00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:36.480 Greg, you know, big big old school fan like me grew up. 563 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:38.239 You know, he was a Yankee fan, big Mickey Mantle fan. 564 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.280 We we we've always had a lot of give and take on that, me 565 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.599 being a huge Dodger fan. So I've known Greg forgot d Adam, it's 566 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:52.360 been forty years. I don't know him, but always always had great, 567 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.000 great baseball conversation. And we're having the conversation about show. Hey, and 568 00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:59.199 you know kind of what he means, you know, how how much he 569 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.519 means to for him to keep pitching. Uh, you know he's had the 570 00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.840 arm injury, so he's not pitching this year. You know, the question 571 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:07.280 came up this morning on one of the other talk shows. You know, 572 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:14.159 will he pitch again? You you like the idea? Yeah, and I 573 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:16.880 think he will too, you know, but again they're also not going to 574 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.239 risk him, you know, having some sort of a career ending injury because 575 00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:24.519 of that. Yeah. I don't think they're concerned about that. Yeah, 576 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:30.079 he's already throwing thing. Yeah I saw that. Did They've been They've been 577 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.320 doing that. So it's a and and again he's he's a he's a page 578 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:36.760 turner. He's somebody to watch and people do. So it's been great. 579 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:43.239 So else we've got our our buddy, Adam. Adam is client saying he's 580 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.199 got three years tops on the uh pitching at three Yeah, three to four 581 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.280 is about right. And then and no, he has not hit. This 582 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.639 last surgery was not Tommy John because if you had Tommy John, you wouldn't 583 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:58.159 have been hitting, right, So what do they do? I have no 584 00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.880 idea, no idea. All right, Yeah, I think three four years 585 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:06.639 starting, and then I think he moves to the pen, the little pen, 586 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.760 and just the closure, the idea of him being a closed So I 587 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:17.280 remember the remember the World Baseball Classic, he was U Japan's closer struck out 588 00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:22.039 Mike Trout the final out of the World Baseball Classic. You're right, yeah, 589 00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.880 I forgot about that. I still that clip still shows up on my 590 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:30.800 social media feeds, the lasted bad against Trout. I mean, what for 591 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:36.679 an event that I don't know. I don't know how much people follow that 592 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.440 event, but it was such a big, big deal in such a big 593 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:44.559 classic confrontation between those two guys, and it was so cool to watch. 594 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.760 Had fun watching that. All right, we've confirmed our guests for tomorrow. 595 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:52.599 I want to let you know, as mentioned, Calviny Fund is going to 596 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.079 join us at three fifteen. We'll talk some more about this whole idea about 597 00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:01.840 NBA players playing in the NFL and vice versa. Calvin was came to Arizona 598 00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:08.440 in the Loudulcin years as a basketball recruit and wound up being a star on 599 00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:12.920 the football team. He was one of the keys to that nineteen ninety eight 600 00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:15.719 twelve and one team. So Calvin will be able to give us a first 601 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:22.280 hand experience with you know, a basketball player going to play football. So 602 00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.400 we'll talk to him. And then we just confirmed that Kevin Guy, the 603 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.079 owner of the Tucson Sugar Skulls also happens to be the head coach of the 604 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.840 Arizona Rattlers. He's coming on. The Rattlers play Tucson in Tucson on Saturday, 605 00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:37.519 So we'll get a little a little bit about probably a little bit about 606 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:40.280 both teams. We'll see how things are going, not only with the two 607 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.400 franchises, but how things are going with the league. The Arena Football League 608 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:49.840 kind of started up again and immediately started having all kinds of troubles. So 609 00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.440 I think the Indoor Football League still is the premier indoor league in the country. 610 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:58.519 They continue to expand, and the Sugar Skulls are here and they're in 611 00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.679 their fifth year, believe it. In that fourth year nineteen twenty, nineteen, 612 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:07.519 twenty nineteen was the first year, no season, twenty twenty, twenty 613 00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:08.519 twenty one, twenty two, twenty, this is the fifth year, right, 614 00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.880 fifth year, all right, So we'll have Kevin Guy on tomorrow. 615 00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:15.360 So if you want to join us for that talk. It should be a 616 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:21.519 lot of fun NBA playoffs, Adam, You know, are you liking what 617 00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.960 you're seeing or they are they fun? You you haven't? Yeah, that's 618 00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:36.639 what's the most intriguing series to you right now. Yeah, probably it's the 619 00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:40.400 wool Timberwolves and Nuggets. Yeah, because, as we said, Anthony Edwards 620 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:45.920 is kind of like the next guy here in the league. And the Nuggets 621 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:50.000 haven't been punched in the face like this. It's been the last couple of 622 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.880 years. It's been a while. They're in big trouble. They're in very 623 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.760 big They're in big trouble, are they tonight? No, tomorrow, they 624 00:43:55.800 --> 00:44:00.440 play Friday Friday. That's tomorrow tomorrow? Yeah, yeah, today Thursday. 625 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.559 So yeah, Cleveland Boston tied right now, and then I don't know what 626 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.159 the Cleveland Boston series. I have no idea. The Celtics are to win 627 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:12.760 four, maybe five, Okay, all right? And then Dallas, Oklama 628 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:16.920 City today and what about that one? Interesting to see if these young thunder 629 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.440 keep playing well without any sort of playoff experience, because generally in the NBA 630 00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:25.599 you need to get your ass I say that, you can say, I 631 00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:30.480 gotta get your ass kicked at least once before you actually take that step. 632 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.960 And the one Seaton, they're the ones, they're the number one. I 633 00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:37.920 had no idea. I mean, if you'd asked me three weeks ago, 634 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.760 Hey, who's the number one seed? And you know I would say, 635 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:46.599 well, I guess the Nuggets, right, you know, so and cruise 636 00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:53.239 pass. The Pelicans cruised in Game one against the Mavericks. Are they just 637 00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:57.920 going to keep doing that? Yeah? I think they'll run into But again, 638 00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.880 neither of the Timberwolves. I mean there are the three seed. Again, 639 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:05.320 the Timberwolves haven't had any sort of like those guys really have had real 640 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:09.320 playoff success. Yeah. Yeah, they're they're actually you know, they're they're 641 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.960 actually been fun to watch. I said, I don't have no idea on 642 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:19.079 the Celtics uh Cavalier series, because that's one that I it's that's so far 643 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.199 out of my mind because I've been so zeroed in on the nixt Pacer series. 644 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.719 You know, the what the Timberwolves are doing after they you know, 645 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.320 they laid the wood to uh to the Suns. The Celtics are to me, 646 00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:37.440 they're like, it's kind of theirs to lose. Okay, they've gone 647 00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:42.920 through everything, even with YEA, even with the Nuggets, you know, 648 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.800 you know, coming off the championship and the whole they've gone through that they've 649 00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:51.599 gone through the playoffs. Each of these last couple of years as a favorite, 650 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:57.440 losing heartbreaking fashion, you know, always doing well. Yeah, and 651 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.599 just come up a little short. Yeah, I think it's the time. 652 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:02.079 Yeah. I guess somebody was just trying to call. We missed that, 653 00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:04.880 We missed the call. Give us a call back. We still got a 654 00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:08.119 few minutes. Sorry about that.

In two thousand and five, we used to have these 663 00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.960 docks and then di'mond backs and the Rockies over at our restaurant. McMahon's right, 664 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.199 right, So I played golf. We had two golf courses down in 665 00:46:52.280 --> 00:47:02.159 Green Valley. So if Isaac Giano, yeah, Canerko and then uh, 666 00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:10.559 uh, the guy that Frank Thomas and I should have best a weapon him, 667 00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.239 I mean demand, I mean, he just punished the golf ball. 668 00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:22.079 It was I felt bad to the golf ball when he played. I can 669 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:27.960 imagine him hitting the ball, and he was actually pretty really pretty decent around 670 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.760 the greens for a while. So, but you were talking about playing with 671 00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:36.679 George Arias, and when I get a group together for charity, I'd called 672 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:45.079 Eddie Leon, Yes, George Ericas the other guy. My brain just went 673 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.599 blank and myself and so I didn't have to even worry about driving the golf 674 00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:53.440 ball. I just left it to George and Eddie sometimes. And uh, 675 00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:59.920 but I missed those days. I miss those minor league. But from my 676 00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:05.079 fiftieth birthday in two thousand and five, Hermschneider was the trainer for the White 677 00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:12.440 Sox and I had just dealt with some colon cancer issues. But I'm postoped, 678 00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.519 and I told Bob McMahon, I'm going to the Yankee Stadium for my 679 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:20.760 fiftieth birthday. I'm a die hard Yankees fan. Washed them first listening to 680 00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:25.840 radio in first grade. The Nuns. So they got me seats, hotel 681 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:32.400 room and seats. Three of us went uh and watched the Yankees play the 682 00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:38.559 White Sox on my birthday in two thousand and five. And you talked about 683 00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:43.480 a class group of guys. They were all all all three teams. They 684 00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.960 were all great guys and you could see them at our restaurants and nobody would 685 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:50.639 bother them. They were just down to earth, you know, good old 686 00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:54.519 folks. And do sound really blew it when they got when we got rid 687 00:48:54.519 --> 00:49:00.320 of those, because it was it was a great win for something. There 688 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.159 was a lot going on here with all. So I actually played with Conerko 689 00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:06.599 one time too in the in the in the you know, they would have 690 00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.599 that spring training UH charity golf tournament here, so we would always got a 691 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:14.480 player in our group. So I played with Conerko. I played with Randy 692 00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.039 Johnson once I mentioned I played with Bo Jackson and he showed up with just 693 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:21.519 a seven iron and just played the plate, played most of the round like 694 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:23.400 that, and we had Those were great times. They were great times. 695 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:27.320 Adam was mentioned, he got a big smile no his face when you mentioned 696 00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.199 Eddie Leone, because Eddie's pretty much Adam's un like my own. He's my 697 00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:36.519 wife's uncle. I've played I've played golf with Eddie a few times. Yeah. 698 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:38.960 Well, Eddie's just great people and you know, down to earth and 699 00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.519 uh, you know their Tucson. Watching the Indians play, we'd have the 700 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:50.079 Giants here, everybody, everybody. It was always black. We do miss 701 00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.719 it. We do miss it a lot. Okay, kay, I appreciate 702 00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:54.840 the call man, Thanks for the memories. Appreciate it. We will talk 703 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:58.920 to you later, you too. Yeah, you know, those were great 704 00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:01.199 times, you know, and it's signed. I mean, the Indians were 705 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:05.679 here for a long time and and you know, but then when when spring 706 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.039 training had the three teams, that was it was great, but it was 707 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:12.039 kind of short lived. It didn't last a long time. I remember it 708 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:15.719 pretty well though. Yeah. Yeah, we went on to some spring training 709 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.440 games and you know where there was the Diamondbacks, the Rockies, the White 710 00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.519 Sox, you know, and then we're playing these golf tournaments with those guys 711 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.000 and and and they were and they were fun. They were great to you 712 00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:27.679 know, great to be around. I remember, uh, one of the 713 00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:31.039 spring trainings that we were at the we we've told this story. We even 714 00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:35.960 had him on the show. Uh, when we were at the Big party 715 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.119 at the at the golf tournament and Luis Gonzalez, you know, we got 716 00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:44.239 him to call my sister. Were come to call her up and she unfortunately 717 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:47.880 wasn't home, so we left her a message on her on her message machine 718 00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:52.400 and she still has the tape. But you know, they would do stuff 719 00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:53.199 like that, right. We just went up to Louise and said, hey, 720 00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.360 Louise, would you call my sister. She's a big fan of yours. 721 00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:59.760 And he did it without even you know, with a big smile on 722 00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:01.519 his and it was it was great. And those are the kinds of guys 723 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:06.039 that they were. You know. Randy Johnson had this reputation as kind of 724 00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:09.880 a brooding, quiet guy. We golfed with him and I mean he wasn't 725 00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:14.280 like, you know, leading the conversation, but he chatted with us and 726 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:15.880 we had a great time. We had fun with him. He's a photographer, 727 00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:20.639 he's a photographer now and he and he hit one of the best. 728 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.960 Okay, let's take this call.

We're 731 00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:38.480 past time of the year. For all the little leaguers to remind all the 732 00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:44.000 little leaguers, if you want to be a better hitter, swing it better 733 00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:47.920 pitches that I took my son. We took our son to you'd all the 734 00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:51.719 other day and we were just kind of having having him run around, and 735 00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:54.000 there were some little league games and so we walked over there for a few 736 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.480 minutes and watched some. It was probably like double a. Yeah, the 737 00:51:58.559 --> 00:52:02.880 kids are pitching. Adam. Let me ask you, what did you learn 738 00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:13.000 during your littleague career about hittie. Uh, don't swing at the dumb ones. 739 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:19.679 That's true. You don't want to go after that inside basketball because it 740 00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:22.519 looks sweet. Yep. You were a great hitting coach, Jim.
