Hey, welcome 3 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.519 back to Iron the Ball Hero Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's 4 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.239 Jake. Now we have atleast with breaking news. O. This is I 5 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.280 on the Ball, breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 6 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.239 I don't even know where to start today. I feel like so much has 7 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:33.039 happened in the past twenty four hours, but I think we're gonna start with 8 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.280 the WNBA draft the Arizona players. I can't believe we haven't even touched on 9 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.079 this today. As Marie Martinez was drafted by the New York Liberty with the 10 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.799 seventeenth pick, and so she'll be going to the New York Liberty. And 11 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:56.399 then Helena Puyeo Wayo plus drafted by the Connecticut Sun with the twenty second overall 12 00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.479 pick in the twenty twenty fourth WNBA Draft. Where do we be beget in 13 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.319 this room? Well, let me own up. Let me own up to 14 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.719 what I said yesterday that I didn't think either one of them was gonna get 15 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.799 and then they both got drafted in the second round. Kind of surprising. 16 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.120 Yeah, well, and I thought the thing would would be very good. 17 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.599 Yeah, because I really like the way she plays. It doesn't make that 18 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:19.920 she'll mean to make the team. Doesn't mean that she makes the team, 19 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.159 but hey, you have a good chance now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 20 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.840 So congratulations to both of them. I hope they get their shot. 21 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.799 Well, they're going to get their shot. I hope, you know, 22 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.799 you hope that they both make the team. I think it's only the third 23 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.040 time. I think on the release that on the third time that women's basketball 24 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.760 has had two players drafted in the same draft women. Yeah, yeah, 25 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.079 well, no tells you how how do you had some pretty good talent on 26 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.439 there? Kind of explains what they were doing. Yes, just kind of 27 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.480 got the injury bug. Bad luck. Do you guys know who the first 28 00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:00.840 w NBA pick from Arizona was ever Arms? Just second. Yeah, we 29 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.640 were all over that. You guys, you know your stuff. But to 30 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.039 your question, it was like, if you missed this up, if you 31 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.639 missed this, you know, I'm taking over as you should. And speaking 32 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.479 of the w w A draft, Caitlyn Clark had the most jersey sales on 33 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.639 a jersey on a draft night for a jersey ever in any sport right, 34 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.120 unbelieved amazing. They said they sold out in an hour. It was website 35 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.479 said they sold out in an hour and it was all sizes. I saw, 36 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.080 I saw, this is how I don't know what about me. But 37 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.479 they showed her schedule. It was a quick show on the TV and I 38 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.680 kind of said, Phoenix, I said, when I go to that, 39 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.879 I said, but I thought about it for a second because because she's kind 40 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.680 of validated everything, everything, everything, the thing about it, and maybe 41 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.400 this is a question for you at least, do you think it's going to 42 00:02:53.479 --> 00:03:00.479 be continued at this level because it's the kitten Clark well the effect. We 43 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.199 were talking about this last week, how we were we were both saying, 44 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.120 we don't know if this is going to continue on because you know, she 45 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.599 was the star of college basketball and in the w n B A they don't 46 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.639 have that, you know, the bout of viewers and everything. But I 47 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.719 was not expecting this to sell out. The she'll have this effect in the 48 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.240 w NBA when I'm talking to the college level where it's heightened, you know, 49 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.719 the watches. I think this is more about her and and the and 50 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.520 the and the and the Yel s U rivalry and then the can't she do 51 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.159 it? And things like that. I think it gives other players that have 52 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:42.199 a talent you know, similar to her the stage too, and the opportunity 53 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.120 to be able to be in the spotlight and bring more attention to the sports, 54 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.080 because now people are know that this is possible, that players can bring 55 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.960 this much attention to a sport and elevated sports, so much like she's a 56 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.560 catalyst for this, where other players that have maybe not you know, her 57 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.800 skills is so rare and that she can just shoot from so far, but 58 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:08.879 other players who are really good will now have the opportunity to show it. 59 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:14.000 Let me seeing well, page page Baker Bakery from from Connecticut will be the 60 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.759 next will be the next one she'll get, you know, the spotlight will 61 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.639 be on her all next year. But you make a good point because now 62 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.680 you know, players, even players who are in the league now and already 63 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.519 who you know, the the Sabrina and Escu's and and some of those that 64 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.560 are that are already in the league, they're going to benefit from this too 65 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:38.079 because the because Kaitlin Clark Angel Reese's putting everything right it's you know, it's 66 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:44.480 increasing the value of what they're doing, so they'll benefit from It's like the 67 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.399 Tiger Woods effect, right, is that because of Tiger Woods, all the 68 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:53.360 other golfers were making more money. Yeah, that's great enough analogy, thank 69 00:04:53.399 --> 00:05:01.519 you. We don't get Anne blind squirrel blind squirrel, so we what something 70 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:11.040 smart. But that's a great, great analogy because now you're going to see 71 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.560 a bunch of little little girls and ponytails playing basketball, right yeah, right, 72 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.759 yeah, and that and that's the thing. So yeah, I just 73 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.680 opened up the floor for everyone to be able to shine and show what they 74 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:29.120 got and and people they know, people will watch if you can make them 75 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.959 and if curiosity factor and all that stuff. But it's gonna be interesting. 76 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.680 She's on how many games still playing? She's on all of them, but 77 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:42.920 two or three on TV okay, of course. And it gives you know, 78 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.600 people the other teams that are playing going to be playing against the opportunity 79 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.680 they are going to watch. You know, you got to show up for 80 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.959 that game. Attendance will be very good at those places, right yeah. 81 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.519 So just it opens up the floor for everyone. You know what, you 82 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.360 just stay on the trend of women's basketball. Kate Pey is the new Stanford 83 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:10.399 basketball coach. She played at Stanford and has been an assistant coach for seventeen 84 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.639 years, so she's the new head basketball coach. And obviously the Stanford program 85 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.439 is you know what got me that that terror van of your one. I 86 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:25.680 think only two national time, maybe three, three, but still I would 87 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.800 have thought she had like eight. Yeah, right, well one of them 88 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.160 was like two. They were also playing, you know in the during you 89 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.360 know, during that stretch of Connecticut was winning. Sure, yeah, sure, 90 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.480 but I would have thought it was. She is the winning coach all 91 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.439 time, I k most wins. And do you think that Stanford will will 92 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.959 no, will LI know because she's swollen, limit will know, but she's 93 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.959 out in a different league that it'll sustain what it has because that is the 94 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.759 PRIs, that's the jewel of the Stanford direct. Well, it kind of 95 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.879 reminds me of like coach k yeah, yeah yeah, and they're doing okay, 96 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.160 yeah, but they're doing them. Hey they made a part in Arizona. 97 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:09.160 Wow, that's kind of hurts you both ways. Didn't you see what 98 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.120 she did? Yes, well she's in Arizona, guys. She can reach 99 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.959 your back and pain for them both. But it's a different kind of love. 100 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.160 Your mom must really be in a big influence. Well that was like 101 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.759 our tam okay, okay, all right? Else, all right, Well, 102 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.120 I mean I have so much here still. We can talk about some 103 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.720 more Arizona things before I get to the NBA and stuff. I know, 104 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.160 I know, you guys, I don't want me to even mention it. 105 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:46.279 But Olivia DiNardo, the softball UH player was has been named Pactful Player of 106 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.439 the Week after hitting point five with three home runs over the weekend and two 107 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.199 in one game. Yeah point five you met five hundred, right, yeah, 108 00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:05.439 five hundred? Sorry and g yeah, and yes, she was then 109 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.079 Impactual Player of the week. That's pretty cool. You want to transition into 110 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.160 the Oregon girl here? Yeah, so that. I think she hit the 111 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.639 two home runs in the game against the UH in the game against Organ where 112 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.240 Hannah's Elgono who's the Organ player, banked her head and neck and hit the 113 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.480 wall while hitting the wall on a diving catch and her neck was immobilized. 114 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.960 Right, they had immobilize her and it turned out that she did have some 115 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.360 fractures. Because that's reported on an Organ softball fan page. That the Uh, 116 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.200 they were able to repair the fractures and displacement. So I don't know 117 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.679 if that was her neck, her spine, and probably her neck because she 118 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.679 hit that. She hit the wall head first and immediately just kind of rolled 119 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.120 over and and you could I was watching the game. I was watching the 120 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.879 game when it happened, and it looked bad. You knew it was bad, 121 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.840 and you know the players, you know, the right fielder who was 122 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.320 right there immediately started waving for the trainers to come on the field. Trainers 123 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.919 for both teams went out there, and they took off on an ambulance. 124 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.519 Apparently she was at Banner University Medical Center. She had surgery. They say 125 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.600 she's doing very well. In this post, it says, uh, the 126 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.120 U of A athletic staff were super supportive and came daily to make sure Hannah 127 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:37.320 had everything she needed. Uh is she still here? I think she's still 128 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.080 here. It said it should come as no surprise that within minutes of being 129 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.519 told she could try to walk, she was doing laps around the ward. 130 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.559 Uh. So, Uh, it sounds like everything, uh, you know, 131 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.240 is going as well as it could possibly go. But she did have 132 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.519 some fractures and you have to assume that they were either in the neck or 133 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.159 the spine were both so scary? Yeah yeah, And then U of a 134 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.399 one ended up winning that game in Oregon won the game the next day. 135 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:11.399 Yes so, but Arizona won that series. Yes, yes, but yeah, 136 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.559 so the team left in I guess she's still in. And then sticking 137 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.840 to the diamond. I know, we already talked kind of talked about a 138 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:24.519 bunch of baseballs today with the guests. But Jackson Kent was named Top Cap 139 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.240 Top Cat of the Week because he allowed a season low three hits and Friday's 140 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.360 win and struck out the two hardest to strike out players in the nation and 141 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.360 combined three times in the combined three times in their sweep against Louisiana. Louisiana. 142 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.440 Yeah, yep, And the Wildcats are now ranked number twenty one. 143 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:52.440 Twenty one. Yeah. From ten to thirteen to eleven game win streak and 144 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.080 it's the longest active wind streak in college base They are at home this weekend 145 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.600 again, or they're home tonight. They got Grant Caro, No, not 146 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.919 tonight. There at home tonight. It's a grand Canyon, Okay, But 147 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.360 then they've got Washington State at home this weekend. So back in the back 148 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.879 in conference play this weekend. Yeah, so crazy eleven game win streaks, 149 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.799 Actor win streak College baseball. All right, yeah, and then I know, 150 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.039 looks like we have time for my next point. Stee go ahead. 151 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:30.840 Lake Griffin has announced his retirement from basketball after thirteen seasons in the NBA. 152 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.320 He was the two thousand obviously the two thousand and nine number one draft pick 153 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.039 out of Oklahoma, an All Star five times, earned All NBA honors four 154 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.519 times, and finished I actually didn't know this finish in the top three of 155 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.919 mp MVP votes once, even when he started dating the Kardashians. That's when 156 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:54.559 this went on. Hell basket, Yeah right, this is what it is. 157 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.399 You know, you get it, you get involved over there, you 158 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:03.000 pick your poison and they playing for the Clippers. Yeah. How can you 159 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:13.159 feel like dismissive when yeah, whatever for the Clippers fan over here? So 160 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.320 do you have the Leonardi You don't have the Loonardi top Oh I actually didn't 161 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.960 pull that up, But do you want to say just today, I guess 162 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.600 Lonardi came out with his way too early bracket and Arizona is a number three 163 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.559 seed in the West. Players, your roster has very little on it, 164 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:35.360 but they're projected there. I guess was a two Gonzaga really the destiny of 165 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.159 again, I don't know how. I don't think we can. I don't 166 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.159 know how you can listen to that make a prediction. You can't. That's 167 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.320 why I'm kind of knocking at it. But you know, maybe we'll remember 168 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.000 next year at this time. Remember Lenardi had this team was a three seed 169 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.639 in April. But everyone comes up these top twenty fives right away, this 170 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.720 way too soon, and everybody doesn't have rosters. Now Indiana has bollow and 171 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.799 he was they we talked about these yesterday, the number one recruit in the 172 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.240 in the portal. Okay, good for you, all right, I have 173 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.799 I have something here. I I am the ball correspondent. Justin Spears at 174 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:15.000 football practice right now. Posted a few minutes ago the first practice with the 175 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.639 transfer portal opened, and he said, Carrio Davis, A J. Jones, 176 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.080 Raymond Polito, and an offensive line named Matthew Lado are not practicing. 177 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.240 Wow, So I don't know if that means are they hurt? Are they 178 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:35.720 not practicing? The po thing would be very surprising to him, given how 179 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.559 the parents and the family has kind of been there because Cary Davis went into 180 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.120 the portal then got out right or there was a rumor that he was going 181 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.200 in there something like that. I can't remember exactly, but but yeah, 182 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.039 the name was out there. Wow wow, Well, well I guess we'll 183 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.000 know although he was kind of hinted last week by shere the teams would kind 184 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.960 of shake out or yeah in a big way. And again just you know, 185 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.440 okay, if you're you know, if you want to go somewhere else, 186 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.960 just go at a time that you know somebody can make a move and 187 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.039 replace you. And so anway, I just saw that. Speaking of portal 188 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.639 news, Damien Martinez, the running back for Morgan State. It was really 189 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.320 good if you remember, really really good. He's entered the transfer port and 190 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:26.080 Arizona is one of four schools that he is being rumored. How much would 191 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.120 he how much would he be loved here with the name with the name, 192 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.000 Well, I hated watching him against Arizona, so I think, yeah, 193 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.559 you'd love watching him, uh for Arizona. You know who, man, 194 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.759 and you know who knows what the running back room looks like right now, 195 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.559 And I know you've got you've got speedy Luke and a couple of other guys, 196 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.000 but they lost you know, three really good running you know, so 197 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.000 the more, the more you can get the marrier. Let me ask you, 198 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.519 April, we haven't even seen practice. You and I because of have 199 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.039 now if they finish, if they if Arizona finishes X, would it be 200 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.399 a backwards step to what happened X meaning the record? I think there's an 201 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.240 expectation, an expectation. I believe that they're gonna win at least a tight 202 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.799 or nine games next and okay, if they do not, when to go 203 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.519 seven to five, I think people say, you know, transition, They're 204 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.759 not gonna be pissed at Brent Brannan. I think it'll be more about you 205 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.200 know, transitional year, feeling each other out, you know, new systems, 206 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.639 all those kinds of things. And part of it's gonna depend on who 207 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.639 they beaten, who they lose to, right, you know. I mean, 208 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.919 look, Arizona, all the all the teams in the Big Twelve are 209 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.840 kind of the same team, right, A team that can challenge for the 210 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.960 league title or not. You know, Baylor take TCU, Texas Tech, 211 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.639 Houston, b y U, Utah, Color, They're all kind of like 212 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.480 they're all sort of like in one big bowl of salad or something awesome around 213 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.559 and somebody's gonna come out on top of you. Don't put carrots to myself 214 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.480 like one of those things. I like the Tiger Woods analogy better. He 215 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.799 doesn't always hit home.

Now on the phone, we have Jody 290 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.839 Aayler from Fox Sports nine ten in Phoenix. How you doing, Jody, 291 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.960 I'm good. I'm I'm trying to figure out the map on lumar Bolo getting 292 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.680 a million dollars for being able to play three quarters. Yeah, no, 293 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.720 it's unbelievable. In fact, we try to get some nil people on the 294 00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.079 show, couldn't get any. But come on, why are they coming up 295 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:47.480 with these numbers? Really, it's it's out of thin air, literally, 296 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.240 right, I mean, it's a whole new world. There's no there's no 297 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.880 president. Everyone's just kitting what they can. It's wild. And he's an 298 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:59.480 international player. Last time I checked, they're kind of limited. Oh yeah, 299 00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.799 that's true. That was Zach Edy complaining about that for a tournament. 300 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.440 But how does it matter that he's, you know, been playing for U 301 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.400 of A reviews. I guess I guess it should, but maybe it doesn't. 302 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.839 It No, it should Yeah, if if he's getting that kind of 303 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.200 money, I don't know how they're structuring that that he can't get that. 304 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.799 Well, who's enforcing it? Like, who's who's actually overseeing all of this 305 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:25.400 and worry about it later? Come on, Jody, it's the federal government. 306 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.519 They're large and in charge, don't you know. Well, Hey, 307 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.000 listen, I just filed my taxes at nine thirty. Side for now, 308 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:40.039 as always, you beat the buzzer, beat the buzzer. Well, Jody's 309 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.559 okay, plaffs are about to start. How are you feeling about the Suns? 310 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.880 Should we be watching with anticipation or just kind of like whatever they get, 311 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:52.000 they get. Yeah. So I do four hours of radio five days 312 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.079 a week in Phoenix, and I've decided that the only appropriate answer to anything 313 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.119 sound like, I don't know, we'll see answer, because I've got so 314 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.039 much time to fill and so many people want to talk about the Suns. 315 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.920 But I've seen so many ups, I've seen so many downs. I've seen 316 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.079 so many poor performances, great performances. I don't know, we'll see. 317 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.480 I mean, Sun fans, I think are a little overconfident in the matchup 318 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:17.200 with the Timberwolves, who have played really poorly against the Sons, but they 319 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.000 can play better. But on the other end, there's a reason because they 320 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.960 spanked him on Sunday with the one seat on the line for Minnesota. In 321 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:27.160 Minnesota, that version of the Suns looked really, really good. So I 322 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.599 am in wait and see mode. I don't have eye expectations, but at 323 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.279 the same time, it's impossible not to have some expectations. You sound like 324 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:41.599 an Arizona men's basketball Then we don't know which team's gonna show up, will 325 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.400 be motivated to play all that. And I was in Phoenix the last ten 326 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.240 days. In two weeks, all I heard was this team is in chemistry 327 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.319 is messed up? What's up with the Big Three? Why are they doing 328 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.440 this? Same? Same to you? I'm sure you're hearing the same thing. 329 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.119 Yeah, I mean, that's what we've been talking about for so long. 330 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.680 And then that Sun game against the Timberwolves, the Big three played cohesively 331 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.640 together. There was real, you know, contributions from their bench. Frank 332 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.279 Vogel didn't totally screw things up. So I mean that if if, if 333 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.799 they didn't beat the pants up in Minnesota on Sunday, I would be expecting 334 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:22.160 them to lose this series in six. But the way they played, if 335 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.200 there is the proverbial switch that gets flipped with these stars on this team, 336 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.319 then I think that was all could be flipped. I think the Sons could 337 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:30.640 win in six, but I do think it's gonna be a battle. I 338 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:37.319 really do. Interesting what I guess, what's been the general opinion of how 339 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.880 their season went? I mean disappointment to kind of like, okay, you 340 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.359 know, injuries, we didn't see the big three together enough. I mean, 341 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.599 what, you know, how do the fans feel about how the Suns 342 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.319 ended up in the regular season. It's interesting there's been this kind of attempt 343 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.200 at a revisionifiictuyre like, well, they won forty nine games, and they 344 00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.960 finished the last ten game seven to three, and they're thirty five and eighteen 345 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.559 since the All Star break, and it wasn't as bad. And I'm like, 346 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:04.960 man, if that's like reading a box score and trying to judge a 347 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.319 game, right, Like, you got to watch the game, and if 348 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.799 you watch these eighty two games for the Sun, it was not a pleasant 349 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.519 experience. It was not an enjoyable experience. This team was maddening, frustrating, 350 00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:21.680 agonizing, and furiating more often than they were a joy. I think 351 00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.359 they're one of the least enjoyable teams I've watched locally and quite quite a long 352 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.119 time. So I think they've got to find a way to just somehow rise 353 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.400 above all that. And really, I mean the reality guys, think about 354 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.680 it. I mean, in this series against the Timberwolves, if you're ranking 355 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:41.119 the top five players in this series, the Suns have three of the top 356 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.400 four, and that's that's a reality that they've got to make and put into 357 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.319 practicality and win this series. Well, you have the three, but they 358 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.160 need a little bit more than just three, right. I think that's part 359 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.839 of part of the problem. It's funny you talk about the fans a lot 360 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.920 like Arizona fans. When you moved up there. What were you anticipating with 361 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.640 the fans and what was the what did you get? Was it different? 362 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.759 It's so different because the Suns were so bad when I came up here, 363 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.440 right they were in the middle of that tenure playoff draft. But I know 364 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.599 Suns fans are loyal. I know they're passionate, and I know it's kind 365 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:19.119 of the one team in Phoenix where there's like real you know, floor level 366 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:25.519 loyalty and energy for it. So I think the Suns. Here's what I've 367 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.480 noticed is since their NBA Finals run, you get that bandwagon Suns fan effect 368 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:36.559 where they don't really understand or know or remember that seven Seconds or Less sons 369 00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.039 or the kJ Marley Barkley Sons. And so there's a lot of spoiled bandwagon 370 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.559 fans from twenty twenty one who just think winning should be automatic and easy. 371 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:51.839 And if you're a longtime Suns fan, you know how treacherous an NBA season 372 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.319 is, how much luck factors into the playoffs, and so there are there 373 00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.440 is a bifurcation of the fan base where new fans great, that's the lifeblood 374 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.799 of any team. Bandwagon fans are what make those sports will go round. 375 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.680 But at the same time, like a little perspective like it's never easy, 376 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:11.680 It's just never gonna be easy. He sounds like you you you were describing 377 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:18.400 j to a t as a bandwagon fans, the guy that just has been 378 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.880 through too much. Yeah, I'm it's like I'm I'm, I'm I'm scarred. 379 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.720 I'm scarred over all these years. Yeah, it's hard. I mean, 380 00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:27.440 there's there's a lot of there's a lot of trauma, there's been a 381 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.720 lot of failure, there's been a lot of heartbreak. But you know one 382 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.960 thing that usually offsets that. And we've talked about this kind of in relation 383 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.119 to the Diamondbacks this year because they're off to a slow start. Is this 384 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.000 is true in life, It's true on the radio, it's true in sports, 385 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.680 Like, if you're likable, you're gonna be able to get away with 386 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:47.000 a lot more. And I think this Sun's team kind of made the Cardinal 387 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.119 sin them. They're just not a very likable team. So that makes everything 388 00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.519 twice as hard. Now it's a lot easier to be likable if you start 389 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.440 winning in the playoffs, and that's still a possibility, but to the regular 390 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.519 season, this was not a very likable team and the personalities. You know, 391 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.799 you had Kevin Durant saying that, hey, why is everyone just looking 392 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.960 at me in the fourth quarter? I'm not going to make every shot. 393 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.720 And then he had Devin Booker after losing to the Clippers and scoring ten points 394 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.319 in the first quarter, saying, oh, we're chilling like it's not a 395 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:17.160 likable team. But they can fix that if they win a bunch starting now 396 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.039 yeah, no, I hear you, and it's uh, you know, 397 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:22.720 and they're kind of in a spot. I mean that, you know, 398 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.559 as a sixth seed, it's like you almost can't even have expectations there, 399 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.599 you know, going even very far right would be rating in a round waiting 400 00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.480 in round two, you know, the defending champs, but they seem to 401 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.160 match up pretty well against them. But they're still the Nuggets, right of 402 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.880 course, of course, and you have the Big Three. They have to 403 00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.920 play together, which is surprising that it's taken this long. And I agree 404 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.240 with you. You know, the revision is history and uh what do you 405 00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.240 call it? Uh just recent recent bias bias, recency bias where they played 406 00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.240 well for a game and well that's the team we want to see or that's 407 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.720 who they are. Yeah, that's what we've That's what I've been going through, 408 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.240 is like, you know, we the NBA season is not meant to 409 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.160 react to like an NFL season. Like every game in the NFL, you're 410 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:07.720 like, oh, we gotta we got to figure out why this happened, 411 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.599 how it happened, and what it's going to be forward. And we've kind 412 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.319 of consumed the Suns because they had so many expectations and so many headlines. 413 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.960 Every game was like an NFL game. Every game was like why did this 414 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.720 happen? Why did that happen. It's like, man, sometimes you got 415 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.319 to sit back and just watch trends. And the trend that this team had 416 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.119 is there are times when they defend the three point line poorly and they get 417 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.759 roasted. There's times when they shoot the three point all well and they can 418 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.720 beat anybody. There's times where you know, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are 419 00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.039 making shots, and then there's times where those two just look like they're two 420 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:45.680 guys that are independent contractors working without any affiliation on the team, and it's 421 00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.680 just a grab bag of what you're going to get game to game. And 422 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:53.680 again, you know, the NBA regular season is do guys coast and then 423 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.119 get to the postseason. Are we going to see the Lakers turn it on 424 00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.000 it? We're going to see the Warriors turn it on it? We get 425 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.240 the Sun turn it on it? Possible. They're not alone, they're not 426 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:03.720 out of the playing tournament, which was a huge win for them. But 427 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.559 I'm still not optimistic that this team's going to fulfill what the expectations were by 428 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.240 any stretch. So let me ask you a couple of quick questions about you. 429 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.920 So how long you been up in Phoenix? Now? Maybe seven eight 430 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.079 years? Maybe a decade, a decade, Okay, so now you're to 431 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.079 you're a Phoenician. But let me let me ask you how many media members 432 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.680 and I'm sure you know a bunch of them. There are more like you 433 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.880 than not like you, because you're you're realistic, you're on poverty, almost 434 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.559 unrealistic in the other side where you're critical, how many are the other way? 435 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.000 I feel I'm the I'm the most biased person, but I feel like 436 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.359 it's it's probably most are a little tend to be a little bit more favorite. 437 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.839 It's easier to be favorable. It's give the tel fans what they want 438 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.960 to hear. It's easier to be optimistic. And you know, I'm naturally 439 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.759 a sports cynic, and so I generally will celebrate success when it's warranted. 440 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.000 But I don't give a lot of these teams in Phoenix the benefit of the 441 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:06.240 doubt because historically this has not been a high performing sports market. And there's 442 00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:08.160 a reason for that. You know, I grew up on the East Coast 443 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:12.559 and it's like everywhere you go they're holding feet to the fire and demanding more 444 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.640 and then out here, if you do that, you're a jerk. So 445 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.640 you know, I think it's a it's a pretty forgiving sports market. I 446 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.759 mean, people are critical, people are pointing out the flaws, but it's 447 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.960 it's not a tough environment by any stretch. Interesting, well, speaking of 448 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.599 pointing out flaws, what what what? What are we going to see from 449 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:36.960 the Cardinals when the draft comes around? And what's their plan or do they 450 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.119 have one? No one knows. I describe Mantiausen for the general manager as 451 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.559 he's just alone on a castle on a mountain and he's will descend on Draft 452 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.920 Day and tell us what he saw and thought because he doesn't. They're not. 453 00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.599 They're a leak proof front office for the most part. My guess is 454 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:57.119 they're gonna try to get the most it can for the fourth overall picking the 455 00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.920 trade down. They're inna set a real firm asking price for that if the 456 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.640 team's willing to meet it, and they will happily trade down for multiple, 457 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:08.000 multiple future first round picks. If a team doesn't want and wants to try 458 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.759 to play hardball, then I think Cardinals will happily sit there and take Marvin 459 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.640 Harrison Junior a number four. So they're in a great spot. They don't 460 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.559 have to trade down, but they're certainly in a position to ask for the 461 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.920 world and not budge from it. So that's kind of where they're at. 462 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.960 Is that the long way of saying they're still committed to Kyler Murray? Oh 463 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.000 yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, Kyler's you know, Kyler's going to get 464 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:32.880 this full season to really prove what he's capable of. But there's a lot 465 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.680 of optimism. Kyler showed up at voluntary workouts yesterday. He's he's continuing to 466 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.319 put his you know, actions behind his words and be a different kind of 467 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.279 leader. And so yeah, he's the guy for sure. So is he 468 00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.960 still five foot ten? Good? What's that? Is he still five foot 469 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.160 ten? Yeah? Well that's the problem. So Punks and Telly Phil will 470 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:57.960 come out of us all the same team will be there a year after year 471 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.319 until they get a quarterback, right right? I think? Yeah, Kyler's 472 00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:07.519 Kyler's going to be the guy that either delivers everything or a full reset. 473 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.839 So there's a lot a lot still on Kyler should How do you like those 474 00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:15.319 odds he's he's the husband that's going to be a faithful or he's going to 475 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:21.079 be the husband that's Hey, there's a lot of quarterbacks right now in the 476 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.160 NFL. If you just if you're if you're just decent, teams could be 477 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.960 happy with that. I think Kyler's boomer buzz all right, Okay, that 478 00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:32.079 I mean, certainly, if nothing else, he's made it interesting the entire 479 00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.880 time he's been there. I mean, there's no stuff to talk about. 480 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.240 He is. He is a constant topic of conversation. Yeah, and then 481 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.200 list finally, we got a couple of minutes our d Backs. Uh you 482 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.160 said there's a star. Yeah. I'm not worried about the Diamondbacks. I 483 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:50.519 mean they're pitching well, They've got pitching reinforcements coming. You know. I 484 00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.759 love their lineup. Their bullpen's been bad, but the closer has been out. 485 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.720 You know, they should be eleven and six, twelve and five. 486 00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.960 Tory Leavella has made some mistakes. He's tried to own the publicly. So 487 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.559 I think the Diamondbacks are in really good shape. I mean they're they should 488 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.440 have a better record, Their offense is going to get better. They're not 489 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:10.840 at full health. And we haven't indeed Jordan Montgomery or at Warto Rodriguez, 490 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:15.480 so uh, you know, Zach Gallon has been the early cy young in 491 00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:19.400 the National League, and Merril Kelly's been awesome. So I'm I am, 492 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.199 I am not worried about the Diamondbacks pulling of sons where they have expectations and 493 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.880 then and then just make everybody frustrated.

Oh oh yeah, 565 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:20.480 we were talking about Damian Martinez running back from Oregon State. Now being 566 00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:27.280 reported that he actually has a visit to Arizona scheduled for tomorrow and what's today? 567 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.559 Tuesday? So Wednesday and Thursday that he'll be here on a visit. 568 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:38.000 But he's also got visits scheduled for Mississippi State, Tennessee, Miami and one 569 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:43.280 more so, isn't it weird to you just in hearing your just coming here 570 00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:49.440 tomorrow that school plays no part in anything? I mean, honestly, he's 571 00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.679 leaving school for a couple of days to come visit. In school, Well, 572 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.639 you can do all your classes online, But what if it's not online, 573 00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.639 then you take a couple of days. Who doesn't cut classes? You 574 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:07.360 don't class, I don't classes. How's that working for you? I do 575 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.159 got in school. I just can't get a job. They don't care. 576 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:17.079 They don't care that exactly. That's why I tell kids do get internships and 577 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:21.159 do work. That's why Jay is doing so well because he didn't go to 578 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:27.199 school. Right, I went to school. Sometimes I am missing class, 579 00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.639 that's right, you're but I get an excuse from the team. We gotta 580 00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.400 call all right, let's take that. Hi, you're on the air and 581 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.960 eye on the ball. Hey guys, that's done. How you guys doing 582 00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:45.800 done? I was going on, oh, not too much. Jay said 583 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:50.719 something that was a little interesting to me a few minutes ago when you guys 584 00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:55.079 were talking about the football team next year, if they only win like seven 585 00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.760 games, is there gonna be a lot of heat on Brent Brannan, And 586 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.800 then you said that it was going to be. Hey, you know it's 587 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.880 the transition, right, that's what Yeah, that's what I said. That's 588 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:14.239 what I think. Yes, And and it's funny because on Twitter, Chip 589 00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:20.679 Hale is not getting the same He's not getting the same. Uh. People 590 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.440 aren't giving him that cushion. You know. Here he is. He's been 591 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:29.280 in the major leagues for you know, since he left school and now he's 592 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.519 barely starting, you know, to learn. He's got to learn how to 593 00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.400 coach in college, he's got to learn how to recruit, and then you 594 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:40.440 got the nil and portal and all that stuff to deal with, you know. 595 00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:44.679 And at the same time, Brent Brennan, he's got to raise his 596 00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:51.199 game in recruiting because he's not recruiting to a state school in California nomore. 597 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:57.360 And so I think that I agree with you, Jay, and I just 598 00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:04.480 I just would like to see more people giving giving Chip that that same leeway. 599 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.119 Well, the only thing different now though Chips in his third year. 600 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.239 So I think there's some feeling that, Okay, we should start seeing some 601 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:14.320 stuff. And maybe that's what we're seeing now with the with their winning streak 602 00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.239 and stuff like that. But you know at ten and thirteen, now you 603 00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:21.960 know that wasn't that wasn't a good place to be in your third year when 604 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:25.760 they were when they were had that record a couple of weeks ago. No, 605 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:30.880 it's that's I agree with that. It's not where you want to be. 606 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:34.280 But at the same time, there's got to be some there's there's a 607 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:40.400 learning curve they're taking this position. You know, there's gonna be a learning 608 00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:44.840 curve. There's gonna be mistakes made. You know, there's going to be 609 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:49.800 you know, little battles won and and and those kind of things. Just 610 00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:53.920 no, go ahead, I wouldn't show. You're talking about baseball. Have 611 00:42:53.960 --> 00:43:00.920 you been to watch and playing during this street Let's see I don't think it 612 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.320 was during this streak. I went, I saw them when they when Grand 613 00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:08.039 Canyon came, but I but I've been watching them on on the PAC twelve. 614 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:12.480 Yeah. Well, you know, man Michael Loft made a good point 615 00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:15.519 though. He talked about that it looks like like, you know, because 616 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:16.920 I said, what what's going on? Why are they winning these games? 617 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.320 And I think Mike Michael said something about the fact that you can tell the 618 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:24.360 Chip has sort of changed his approach where he kind of had the major league 619 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:28.760 approaches let's just hit as many home runs as we can to where now he's 620 00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:32.159 understanding, you know, he's got a pitching staff that is can keep other 621 00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.880 teams from scoring, so maybe he doesn't have to, you know, go 622 00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:38.280 for the big hit and to score enough runs to win. You don't have 623 00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:44.960 to score eight runs to win. Well, and he's he's they're running, 624 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.159 which is something that they didn't They didn't do in the first two years, 625 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:52.440 right, he didn't try to steal any bases, and now and then and 626 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:57.639 then the guy the Shrimp before him, he used to give up and out 627 00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.760 to move a guy over, whereas Chip is trying to seal base, is 628 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.199 I'm trying to get that base without giving you that out, because if I 629 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.280 get another fly if I get a flyout, now my guy's at third base 630 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.679 and I don't have to give you an out to get my guy to second. 631 00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:15.599 And so it's it's it is changing a little bit and the hitting. 632 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.480 The hitting has caught up to the pitching a little bit. You know now, 633 00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.000 I think because in the beginning of the year, absolutely nobody was doing 634 00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:30.480 anything. I mean, if Mason, why if Mason, if my song 635 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.599 got a home run, there was nobody on and it was just a run. 636 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:39.440 And now now there's guys in front of him, and you know now 637 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:44.320 and and now the hitting is contagious, which which is what used to happen 638 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.800 when with Jay Johnson was you know, you get a couple of guys, 639 00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:50.639 get a couple of hits, and then it's being big bay bayan. There's 640 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.440 a seven run inning right right right right. Well, I'm not sure what 641 00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:58.639 your description for Johnson, but okay, he's very short, I know, 642 00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:05.079 but some letters to don we'll get you his edges. I called him an 643 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:10.679 elf on Twitter. You would be going there with I used to love it, 644 00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.840 Dobin. He'd go out and argue a call Oh my gosh. He'd 645 00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:16.599 go out there and I go and I'd stand up and I day, you, 646 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:20.000 you don't have to take that, Jay, You don't have to take 647 00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:27.440 that from that big guy. Okay. I probably didn't appreciate that much. 648 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.519 Okay, you didn't hear me, didn't hear me. Thanks, don appreciate 649 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:35.039 it. Thanks a bunch, man. I have a good one, guys. 650 00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.719 You know, I think it's a little different because Brandon is gonna be 651 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.800 in his first year. And look, I just always go back to Dick 652 00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.039 Tomey's first year. They went four four and three coming off a nine and 653 00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.320 three season. I know there were people who didn't like the four four and 654 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:59.559 three record. They were running the option uh there. They had a kind 655 00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.079 of a friend Chies wide receiver and Derek Hill and didn't really use him, 656 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.679 uh like that, and so I think that there were some people that were 657 00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:08.599 kind of unhappy. But you know, then they went and had its string 658 00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:12.880 of seven and four seasons, but still wasn't great, you know, until 659 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:16.559 they until they had that festival season. So I think that you know, 660 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:24.400 Brennan's gonna he's gonna one deserve some time, especially in this in the in 661 00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.039 this environment now where you know, you lose guys and you lose good players, 662 00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.800 right right, and we'll see what the portal. We'll see what call. 663 00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:37.440 Let's take this call. Oh they hung up, Give us a call, 664 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:42.199 give us a call back. Sorry about that. He know some guy 665 00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.159 just said he texted me. Go ahead and give us give us gives the 666 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.199 call back. But we want to we want to take as many calls we 667 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:52.320 can get here at six minutes aud. But uh, you know it's you 668 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:55.119 just uh, no matter what, and I mean, no matter how good 669 00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:00.000 you are or have been, when you when you change every thing in a 670 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.920 program, it's going to be different. It was for Sean Miller. Yeah, 671 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.119 sure, Tommy Lloyd was the exception, not the rule. Right that 672 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:12.639 he came in and won thirty games. His circumstances were a bit different in 673 00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.519 that he had talent and who was the anti Sean? The anti Sean totally 674 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:22.559 thirty one to eight because Sean got Autumn like crazy in many different ways. 675 00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:24.639 Tommy let him play. Yeah, and it was like, you know, 676 00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:29.440 the stepfather was in charge. Let's goey, here's a substitute teacher. I 677 00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.199 feel like Tommy Lloyd had no expectation, right, people didn't have a lot 678 00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:37.199 of expectations, and they didn't know what to expect until he did. There 679 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:39.400 were a lot of people who didn't Who the hell is Tommy Lloyd? Right, 680 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:43.639 let's take this. You're on the air and eye on the ball. 681 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.119 How's it going today? What's up, Brian? What's going on? Well, 682 00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:52.760 I'll talk about the baseball. Baseball? Yeah, I think one thing 683 00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:58.280 people have to realize how many starters did we lose from last year's team that 684 00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.440 could hit? Wow? Yeah, I mean they you know, they had 685 00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.559 a bunch of guys. But yeah, but you know, to me, 686 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:08.960 though, I'm Brandon in all honesty though anymore anymore, that's almost like not 687 00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:12.639 an excuse anymore, because if you lose some guys, you should be able 688 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.400 to get some guys if you're if you're a good program, and so, 689 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:19.320 you know, you say that with Brent Brandon, you'll say that with Tommy 690 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.480 yd You know, yeah, he's lost Umar Ballot, he's lost uh Kylon 691 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:27.599 Boswell, he's lost Keyshad Johnson, he's you know, I think he's lost 692 00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.719 Pella Larson. You just say, okay, then go get some other guys. 693 00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:37.199 So that's that's kind of a big change, uh with pretty much all 694 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.440 the sports is that anymore you should have the ability to fill in the goal. 695 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.360 If you watch the baseball team now, I mean they're fun to watch, 696 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:47.199 Yes, they don't. They don't hit a lot of home runs. 697 00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:52.159 They have to they have to scrap out runs. Yeah, there's you know, 698 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:53.920 they they're not going to score. I mean, that was an amazing 699 00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:58.079 game Saturday night when they scored the sixth in the bottom of the ninth to 700 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.480 win, right, I mean you had to do it twice because of the 701 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:06.360 ruling on the on the ground world double. But but they they're they're pitching 702 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.320 has just been phenomenal. Yeah, no, I hear you, and I 703 00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.679 think that you know, but but you're still having you're still having to build 704 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:21.679 a program what every year though every single huge difference between when Jay Johnson was 705 00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:27.880 here. He didn't have to rebuild his program every year. And unfortunately that's 706 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.719 what it is now for every sport, not just basketball or football, it's 707 00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:34.559 every sport now. Well, and he does now because look at the l 708 00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.119 s U. They're not anywhere. They're like Baseball like awful this year, 709 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:42.079 right, Yeah, And I know there's people who are and one thing you 710 00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.320 guys just said in the past, how much can these boosters pay out? 711 00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.920 How many more years they can be able to pay out tons of money? 712 00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.920 Right? It constantly, constantly, it's a big deal. It just is 713 00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:58.639 and and and not get anything in return. That's what satisfaction, That's what 714 00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:00.519 my thing would be. This, this is what I get. What. 715 00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:07.039 Yeah, so it's difficult. I gave Spencer Rattler two cars and he hit 716 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:14.800 the road for the cars and then in South Carolina also to the UY plays 717 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.400 three this weekend against Washington State. Yeah, you want to have a nice 718 00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:21.480 relaxing evening, go out there and watch the ball game. Yeah, there's 719 00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:23.280 nothing like a sunset at High Corbett Man, that's cool, No, there 720 00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:29.280 is, Thank Brian, Thanks a bouch Man. Okay, than Yeah, 721 00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:30.760 no, it's cool. I think I think I'm gonna try and go catch 722 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.039 one of those this weekend. So I wish I could go. Yeah, 723 00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:39.119 yeah, I got to go to one again. Well, and I mean, 724 00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:44.840 I'm I'm gonna admit I'm going for the food. It's good, it 725 00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:49.239 doesn't shock and the vibes. But you know, I had sons, a 726 00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:54.360 Giant Beer, the Premium nachos and a Sonoran dog last time and a bag 727 00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.880 of peanuts. It was I went to my first baseball game a high Corbett 728 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:06.000 was Sammy Actually, oh really, he was helping me do a store. 729 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.920 All right, we're about to hit the road. You got. The Pelicans 730 00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:15.880 are up on the Lakers by four with about just under three minutes left in 731 00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:20.079 the first quarter. So there's that going on right now. I think I 732 00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.159 think the Pelicans are actually getting points at home. I don't know if that's 733 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.719 correct or not, but it's a it's like a very small point spat, 734 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:29.760 like one and a half or something like that. And the winner of this, 735 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:37.239 the winner of this becomes the seventh seed, yeah, the seventh Yeah, 736 00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:39.960 And the loser then has to play the winner of the other games for 737 00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:45.679 the for the to try and get the eighth seed and go play the Oklahoma 738 00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:51.599 Okay, see, so there you go. All right, So we're running 739 00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:53.320 out of time about a minute ago. Yeah, what are you gonna say? 740 00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:58.199 Nothing? So good? All right?
