00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.480
It's the Downbeat Free Good Morning DFW. We have breaking news Sarah in the

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:11.839
Metroplex. I'm going live into the
field with our reporter, Danny Bayliss.

3
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.160
I'm Danny and I'm standing in a
field. I thought he was here.

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.160
He's not here. No, I'm
actually standing. I'm a field reporter.

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.480
I have to report from a field. Are you a Globe Life field?

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.719
No, it's just a random field. I think I'm just like, right

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.800
outside of our office, there's a
field, and I mean thanks. Yeah,

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:36.640
the connection is incredible. There has
been a pretty massive Dallas police chase

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:42.759
that has just ended, and there's
a possibility that the suspects that were involved

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:48.200
in this chase are hiding in my
house, making friends with my dog,

11
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.399
playing my bass, thumbing through your
albums. Uh huh. I like this

12
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:03.280
one because Dallas police are currently searching
for three suspects who led officers on a

13
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:11.280
police chase that just ended moments ago. It started around four to twenty am

14
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:17.760
in downtown Dallas. It made its
way around the entire east side of Dallas

15
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.439
County. Now. It ended when
the suspects tried to leave the main lanes

16
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.480
of I thirty to cross the grassy
median and get to the service road near

17
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.719
Jim Miller Road. That is where
I live. Yes, I live at

18
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.519
Jim Miller in thirty. Could you
hear the highway from your house? Uh?

19
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.319
Yes, especially if you've got crawch
rockets. Oh yeah, but yeah,

20
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.480
I can hear it, you know, if it's a lot of traffic.

21
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.840
Yeah, I can definitely hear it. They crashed their suv at Jim

22
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.200
Miller in thirty in the little grassy
median and then three suspects got out of

23
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.040
the car and took off running.
Two of them jumped a fence. One

24
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:05.480
of them ran into a heavily wooded
area. Now sounds to me like they

25
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.879
were going eastbound and they tried to
they missed their exit and then tried to

26
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.719
jump up that There is a grassy
median right there that will get you back

27
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.560
on that exit ramp. It sounds
like they crashed their car out there,

28
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.479
So they're probably on the south side
of thirty. Yeah. It says they

29
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.840
were trying to make their way back
on south towards I thirty. Okay,

30
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.120
so oh, they were trying to
make their way yeah, okay, it

31
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.719
sounds to me like they're on the
south Side. But yeah, people,

32
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.800
police are still looking for all three
of these people in the area. So

33
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.439
Dallas County Sheriff's deputies briefly joined the
chase, and they tried to stop the

34
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:50.080
suspects with spike strips on northbound forty
five, just past both of them Jean

35
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:58.240
Boulevard, and they were not successful
and ended up damaging another driver's vehicle instead.

36
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.240
Imagine that's slump oh who throws out
the spike strip yeap? And what

37
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.000
about the driver that's done nothing?
It just takes four flat ones trying to

38
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.159
get to work. Yep. And
that incident caused some delays in traffic.

39
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.400
But that's basically where we stand right
now. Three suspects at large following a

40
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.639
police chase that ended at I thirty
and Jim Miller. So, yeah,

41
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:28.199
if you got some random knocking on
your door over there and the Claremont neighborhood,

42
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.560
maybe no answer, It says,
Yeah, eastbound lanes of I thirty

43
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:37.479
this morning, traffic delays. Okay, let's uh, let's get the latest

44
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.960
on this and go out to Danny
in the field. Yeah, I'm back

45
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.280
in the field, and you're ridiculous, it says. The story is developing

46
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.400
at the bottom right right I was
looking at and if we get more details

47
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.560
on this developing news story, I
will go back out into the field and

48
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.840
report back. Is that all right
with you guys? Works for that's our

49
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.439
We'll give you the details on the
other big crash that happened on Saturday about

50
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:09.879
six twenty pm that involved Chiefs rookie
wide receiver I guess now second year wide

51
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.520
receiver Rashi Rice, who went to
SMU. We think maybe it didn't.

52
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.360
The details are nuts and it's happened
again right in the daytime. There's dash

53
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.519
cam footage and there's a bit of
a man hunt for him as well as

54
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.680
he just kind of walked away.
With the details on that. It's seven

55
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.600
thirty five plus an update on this
chase that's in thirty minutes. But now

56
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:46.879
let's do this and now sports,
all right, we'll do MAVs a little

57
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.959
bit along with the audio from the
NC State Wolfpack fan at the American Airline

58
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.439
Center yesterday for the Elite eight because
that was nelse of audio rangers obviously had

59
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.720
Friday off, they had big opening
day win Thursday, then Saturday they get

60
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:12.040
their rings. Now, you guys, if you're experiencing baally issues. I

61
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.800
will tell you right now, your
play would be Fubo. Yeah, like

62
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.360
you just like the first couple weeks
of like the season. Maybe Fubo's offering

63
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.839
if you're a Ranger fan, fourteen
free days of games, right yeah,

64
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.720
well free trial. Now you probably
have to remember to cancel it, which

65
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:35.639
might be the problem. But Fubo
could get you through the dog days of

66
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:42.079
April if you're only with that early
season Rangers urgency. The Rangers play at

67
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.199
five point fifty tonight against Tampa Bay. But here's what happened Saturday. They

68
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:51.560
got their rings and did you guys
see the rings? Yes, I looked

69
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:58.040
at the whole chart with the little
arrow pointing at parts of the ring explaining

70
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.279
it all. Very impressive. Okay, so let me just say when they

71
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.879
put these rings on, when they
announced all the players, the beautiful coaches

72
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.839
and everyone who gets a ring and
brought them out on the field, and

73
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.480
then they all had them bring in
their box and they put them on their

74
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:18.920
finger. I went that ring's too
big because it doesn't look right. It

75
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:27.959
looks so uncomfortably big. And but
it is interesting what they did. There

76
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.279
is a lot of features Kevin a
lot of features, including on one part

77
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.959
of it, it's got a the
eleven and OH record, and they used

78
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:41.519
the logos of the Rays, Orioles, Astros and Diamondbacks to create a thing

79
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.560
a feature on the ring. This
is eleven and OH road dominance, Rays

80
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.600
Orioles, Astros, Diamondbacks. So
you'll never forget the teams you whipped up

81
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.959
on in the playoffs. Oh that
was kind of thing. I think that's

82
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:58.480
incredibly fortuitous and very cool that the
spells road, Like, who's the first

83
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.160
person to figure that out? Who
do you think? Right when the Diamondbacks

84
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:09.480
series started, somebody figured it out, maybe Astros, maybe ro A And

85
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.199
then they're like, oh, hold
on if they play the Diamondbacks. Yeah,

86
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:14.879
but at that point you're not thinking
we're gonna win every game on the

87
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.480
road. Just had to win two
in Houston because it was Diamondbacks and Phillies.

88
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.319
That's a pretty incredible coincidence. Yes, yeah, it is kind of

89
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.160
cool, and I like that they
embraced it enough to emblazon it on their

90
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.439
ring, their giant ring eleven and
zero in the playoffs, I forgot on

91
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.439
the road, right, they had
to go in fifteen games, They want

92
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.759
eleven of them on the road,
rays Orioles, Astros, Diamondbacks, right,

93
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.480
three to four Fells Road, Kevin, that's pretty cool. Let's go

94
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.600
on the road for our road correspondent
Danny Baylis with more on those. I'm

95
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.199
in the road. No new updates
on the police chase. I will Actually

96
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.040
I did watch a video of this. This is on the north side of

97
00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:00.160
thirty and it is a block from
where I live. Yes, you have

98
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.160
like a nanny cam or something.
Oh, I call it your milf neighbor.

99
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.600
Yeah, and get enough. All
my neighbors are gay men. Oh

100
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.360
you said you had one lady who
wanted to talk to you. Oh,

101
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.959
god, Sally something like that.
Remember Sally? And You're like, she's

102
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.920
a total milf. You're winking at
me. What are you saying today?

103
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:28.040
Who fools? Gotcha? He was
putting it in a coffee made coffee cup

104
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.200
in the break room while saying that
story. What one hundred and three blue

105
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.240
sapphires are on the top of the
ring. What's the significance of one hundred

106
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.159
and three? Well, one hundred
and three. That's interesting, Danny,

107
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.720
You got it. They won one
hundred and ninety games in the regular season.

108
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.919
Wait, no, they didn't win
one hundred and ninety. I'm sorry.

109
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.600
They won ninety games in the regular
season and they won thirteen in the

110
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.960
postseason. Do my mathrone there,
you're one hundred and three total wins regular

111
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.519
postseason. About one hundred and three
diamonds. All right, Let's see if

112
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.679
ninety, if they won thirteen when
they have to win twelve to fifteen games

113
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.200
to win the World Series? Three
four four time encounter got this right?

114
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.159
Twenty three Red Rubies, Danny,
what do you think that means? Twenty

115
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.879
three, twenty three? I have
no idea. Twenty twenty three, the

116
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.200
year the Rangers won their first World
Series. It makes sense. I have

117
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.320
a problem with this thirteen thing.
Hold on real quick. Ninety regular season

118
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.519
wins, thirteen post season wins.
I did mathron four series to beat the

119
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.120
Rays. Oh, the rais is
a one game series. Yeah, so

120
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.679
one three, four to four,
that's twelve. They definitely got it right

121
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.600
on the ring. Maybe it was
one four, four, four four,

122
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:50.320
Okay, I'll give them benefit of
the doubt. Eleven big stones make up

123
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:56.759
the tea, the white Ta eleven
that represents the road wins. I mean,

124
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.960
everything on here has got a bit, says Danny, looks like,

125
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.120
so you can see it. That's
a big ass ring, dude. You

126
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.120
should see it on their fingers of
a huge man. This is too flimsy.

127
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:13.519
Sixteen emerald cut diamonds on the outside
like of the main top recognizes the

128
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.960
sixteen consecutive postseason games the Rangers homered
in. Okay, do you think they

129
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.600
were just like a little bit of
a stretch count up with some stuff?

130
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.759
Yeah? How much? What are
these valued at? And are they all

131
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.559
exactly the same? Are they personalized? No? Yeah, they're personalized with

132
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.519
the player players. Yeah, okay, the one they showed us as Segers,

133
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.639
so it doesn't My guess is these
are what about twenty twenty five grand

134
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.000
ten chairs of Apple. I don't
know, because it's the tears again,

135
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.399
you know, like different employees get
different tiers of ring. I'm talking the

136
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.639
big one they get like, I
don't know that Seger got much too big

137
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.960
on their on their fingers. Yes, the one that looks too big on

138
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.240
their fingers. I don't know,
And I mean I turned it down,

139
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.200
but we could have had the guy
who designed the ring on, but I

140
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.600
didn't figure. Oh wow, I
don't know. I doubt he cares.

141
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.799
They seem like a like a lot. He was super into the ring.

142
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.960
So I think our buddy Noah Bullard, who's a foxtog around these parts and

143
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.480
a stud tweeted this out. You
can I think he's telling the truth.

144
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.799
You can purchase a limited edition ranger. You could purchase this, Yeah,

145
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.000
that resembles the players for ten nine
hundred and fifty dollars. There's one hundred

146
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.399
and three of them, and that
number once again represents the number of wins

147
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.360
last season. So apparently they've made
one hundred and three of these for purchase,

148
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.120
just short of eleven thousand dollars.
Also doing five player replica ring giveaways

149
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.200
on May fourteenth at corey seeger Ring
June fourth and Morgasimian Ring. What I

150
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.919
kind of don't like on that is
like, don't to merchandise the rings.

151
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.080
The ring should be special to the
people that achieved the thing. Don't start

152
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.240
letting everyone have a ring, even
if they're different. I don't know,

153
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.840
just just a small bitch. They
kicked ass. Wait, JJ, you

154
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.159
want a conference championship in college?
I did football? Yeah, I have

155
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.200
a ring. Wells to look is
it big? It's I mean, obviously

156
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.320
it's not the size of a MB
World Series Championship ring, but it's a

157
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.200
good size. I mean I went
to a smaller school and a smaller conference,

158
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.240
so yeah, I think it's a
good it's it looks pretty big on

159
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.200
my hand. Did they give it
to you or do you have to pay

160
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.639
for it? No, they give
it to us. School pays for it.

161
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.039
And so you get measured for the
ring and then they did a ceremony

162
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.679
for us, and I mean I
wore it for like a month. I

163
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.399
didn't come to your booklet choose.
No, they just like measured our fingers,

164
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.720
you know, for the ring size. And yeah, you don't choose

165
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.200
obviously the design or anything. It
has our eye, like our logo on

166
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.279
it, and it's yeah, it's
pretty cool. It's not. Yeah,

167
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.720
I'll bring it small. It's not
as exciting as that. But it's a

168
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.519
Loyal Series ring. But well,
I'm proud of it. I broked my

169
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.360
ass off for it. Oh yeah, that's crazy. Okay. So when

170
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:03.120
I when we won stay in football, we all got medals, like gold

171
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.840
medals from the UIL and then you
had the option if you wanted a ring,

172
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.360
you could get one, but you
had to buy it. You have

173
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.720
no idea how much. I think
it was around sixty bucks. Okay,

174
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.360
and this is nineteen eighty four,
So I swear every time we talk about

175
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.799
something, NBC five is sixty seconds
later starts talking about it. Well,

176
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.039
their show is laid out long before
our show starts, Kevin, So I

177
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.840
don't think they're listening and on the
fly changing there. Oh yeah, yeah,

178
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.000
they've got stars footage. We're definitely
not talking about them until talkbacks happen.

179
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.799
No, you Texas folk love some
rings. Yeah, high school rings

180
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.360
and college rings. Never did any
of that stuff, never any of them.

181
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.480
Did you have seniors when you were
I don't know, freshman or sophomore

182
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.159
that had the high school rings and
they'd flip them over and then like whack

183
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.320
you on the head. No,
that didn't happen. Don't say you Texas

184
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.279
folks like it's a bad thing.
Florida. Man, I'm just saying,

185
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.559
colle I see A and M rings
on adults, and boy, the Aggies

186
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.120
are proud of those. That's maybe
them more than any other school. That's

187
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.039
maybe what I'm thinking. Yeah,
because they used to put them on their

188
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:16.639
penis. Let's send Kevin Turner out
into a field. Kevin Turner about to

189
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.320
be headed to a field to see
this on this the Rangers Saturday get a

190
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:26.000
good pitching performance from Cody Bradford,
bullpen comes in and handles up, but

191
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.840
the offense really started mashing. I
think the Rangers already lead the league in

192
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.639
home runs. And then yesterday,
basically a decision was made by Bochie because

193
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.000
the Rangers had Friday off. They're
back at it tonight. They have this

194
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.559
Thursday off, but then after that
they have seventeen straight games. They had

195
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.320
kind of a tough April schedule.
The grind begins, Kevy Oh, it

196
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.759
begins, and when John Gray tells
you that his arm's feeling tired and he

197
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.799
can't get you four innings, they
had to go to the bullpen, and

198
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.840
the bullpen of another big names like
the guys they want to use Kirby Ray,

199
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:05.440
Kirby Yeats and David Robertson. It
was like a lot of your spare

200
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.960
bullpen parts holding it down until it
was five to five. Headed to the

201
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.440
top of the ninth and jose Leclerk
decided he wanted to walk everyone. And

202
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.759
that's kind of how it ends.
The Rangers lose nine to five because Leclerk

203
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.159
spit the bit, but they made
a decision let's kind of save the bullpen,

204
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.200
and they have Tampa Bay tonight at
five point fifty on the road.

205
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.039
So it was kind of a good
series win two to one. But you

206
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.240
can already starting to play the long
game of like, let's not have these

207
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.440
guys pitching every game in the series
if we can, And I kind of

208
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.360
appreciate that, honestly. Whitelankred at
a triple yesterday. Evan Carter's your one

209
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.639
guy on the offense who hasn't hit
yet, and he hasn't hit the ball

210
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.039
hard yet, but he's walked five
times, which is enough to have like

211
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:54.960
a good, crazy good on base
percentage in Rangers minor league news. Your

212
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:02.919
guy Jack Lder was great. He
didn't start, He came in in the

213
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.159
fourth inning. I believe it kind
of it was set that way because a

214
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.080
guy who they're gonna add to the
roster of Michael Lawrens and got the start.

215
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:14.120
He pitched five innings. Jack Lder
struck out nine, hit ninety seven

216
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.080
miles per hour, only walked oh
nobody, which had been his problem,

217
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.240
not having any idea where the ball's
going and I'm not telling her we'll get

218
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.080
their hopes up. But if he
does this two or three more times,

219
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.519
let's go. Yeah, what's the
point in waiting. That's the best he's

220
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.679
ever looked in the Ranger system.
Was open tonight. Now, if this

221
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.879
is the Jacklider that's been a Ranger, that means he's gonna suck next start.

222
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.480
So but that's good news. Yeah, good news, good little start.

223
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.279
Astro's went on four too, they
all four to the Achies. Yeah,

224
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.080
four game sweep, sucky, sucky, Okay, and that just remember

225
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.720
that no matters in five months when
we're at war trying to win a damn

226
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:03.120
division. WIT's a half game.
Remember this. We'll play Houston seven times

227
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:07.359
in the next two weeks, so
three at Tampa off Day and then four

228
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:12.519
against the Astros. So that's exciting. Early season, early season. You

229
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:17.079
know, Ray Davis did a big
interview the other day. He did never

230
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:18.920
talk so it's interesting Ray Davis as
the Rangers owner. If those didn't know,

231
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.839
here's what he said when he was
asked about the in terms of money,

232
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.039
he said, it's a terrible position
to be in. We didn't put

233
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.000
ourselves in this position. We're scrambling
to try to know what our broadcasting revenue

234
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.680
is gonna be for twenty five and
beyond. Hopefully before we have to construct

235
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.680
our roster for twenty twenty five,
we'll know what it's going to be for

236
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.720
some future years. I told you
guys the other day that he was asked

237
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.880
about building your own regional sports network, and he said it could happen.

238
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.759
It's about one of four options that
they have, but he would not say

239
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:56.039
what those options were. He also
said, when it went to the roster

240
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.240
contract of Evan, Grant said,
you're a billionaire. Why would you not

241
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.200
spend more money at this point?
What is your perspective on the business running

242
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.160
a baseball team? And he said, none of our fans want to hear

243
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.559
this. That's just not the way
you successfully run a business. So what

244
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.480
a ballsy question, Yeah, I
and a ballsy answer too. Here's an

245
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.880
answer you're not gonna like. But
we're being counters and that's not gonna that's

246
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.759
just not how we're rolling here right
now. He said that the Jordan Montgomery

247
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.880
thing, so they had debt because
of opening the stadium during COVID year,

248
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.759
all right, so that was already
a problem. He said, the way

249
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.359
the taxes work for them. If
Jordan Montgomery signed a one year, twenty

250
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.079
five million dollar deal with Arizona,
it would have been like a one year,

251
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.240
forty million dollar deal with the Rangers. Now, I don't know if

252
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:47.599
I believe that or not, And
I don't know if he might be telling

253
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:52.440
the truth. Actually, is that
the state income tax thing kind of overvalued?

254
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.480
I don't know. I hear that
all the time. Well, you

255
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.799
signed in California, it's much less
money because state income tax. I think

256
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.799
it is on a one year thing, but on a big tenure, seven

257
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.039
year contract or whatever. And don't
they pay that really matters? They pay

258
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.160
taxes when they play road games too, don't they. I think I think

259
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:19.279
that's true. Yeah, like you
worked in Baltimore. Can you imagine the

260
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.799
account Yeah, Oh that would suck. Does a team do all the accounting

261
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.079
for you or you have to figure
that out yourself. I don't know.

262
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.000
It's a good question. Yeah,
I truly don't know. He asked about

263
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.599
Oh, Chris Young doesn't have a
contract, and he's asked asked about that,

264
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.000
like why does he have a contract? And Ray Davis said he's gonna

265
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.000
be here a long time. He
wants to be here. We just haven't

266
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.720
sat down and done the contract.
I'm like, well, if Chris Young

267
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.599
gets offered a job at a cooler
place, I mean, maybe there's no

268
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.400
cooler place. I'm sure Gris Young
wants to be here. Yeah, but

269
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.359
what I hate when people talk about
sitting around. It's just a matter of

270
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.200
us getting down to it and doing
it. We'll do it it, just

271
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.519
do it. I don't know,
just like I feel like things, I

272
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.759
don't know. I'm gonna do do
it now. Guy, though I don't

273
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.160
like to. I'm sure there's reasons
until the Thursday. You know, I'm

274
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.599
doing it now. Oh what about
you? What's your long term plan here?

275
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.359
He said, I just want to
keep winning championships. But he also

276
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.119
said that COO Neil Leiebman has stepped
up and has taken more and more off

277
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.880
me in the business side. So
keep your eyes on Neil Leebman, fans,

278
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.799
Let's get him on. We'll get
Neil Leibman on if you want,

279
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.160
We'll probably do that. He talked
about do you want to keep the team,

280
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.000
and he said, I don't know. Just the taxes on owning the

281
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:40.359
team too, like an individual players
refusing enough if there's road and home and

282
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.400
you have to differentiate. But just
the all the stuff, I mean,

283
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.440
the cooes that mean tax, that
means money man probably has something. Yeah,

284
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.720
CFO is probably your chief financial officer. Yeah, but COO is do

285
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.079
you have tax? The whole tax
team that works for the Rangers. And

286
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.160
Neiliman's been there for a long time
and he's invested in a lot of stuff.

287
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.440
And everyone always talks about Bob Simpson. Bob Simpson's not near as involved

288
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.440
as he's been. He's been not
that involved for a long time now,

289
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.759
like Joe or just Davis is the
owner now SIPs and it's just even more

290
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.599
invisible than he was. I says
he made a good points every tear.

291
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.480
He said, Look why I bought
the team. We were in bankruptcy.

292
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.039
So we're talking about getting mad at
me for not signing a guy. He's

293
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.960
like, it's the same team.
Besides, right now we added two rookies

294
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.200
and Nate Low's hurt. Right now
we're fielding the same roster. It's like,

295
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.799
okay, as long as you're willing
to make moves of the deadline in

296
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.960
the second half like you did last
year. I'm actually okay with that.

297
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:40.119
There's a Rangers update Maps update at
