Speaker 1: Streaming live on the Ihearts Radio WAB. This is I
Speaker 1: on the Ball with Steve Rivera on Fox Sports fourteen
Speaker 1: fifty eight.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to Wyn the Bargario, Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Rivera. He's Dave Silver. Now we have Henry
Speaker 2: with breaky news.
Speaker 1: This is I on the Ball, breaking news on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 3: Raiders wide receiver Devanta Adams is not expected to play
Speaker 3: Sunday with a hamstring injury. He also told the Raiders
Speaker 3: yesterday that he prefers to get traded.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw that, dude. Oh we didn't talk about this.
Speaker 2: You weren't here. That he wants to be traded and
Speaker 2: go to a good team that you know has a chance.
Speaker 2: And we were thinking, uh, not the not the Dolphins
Speaker 2: because they didn't need a quarterback, but Cowboys. What about
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Don't Cowboys need a receiver for two?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was something that came out that said he
Speaker 3: wants to go to a team with the QBS familiar with.
Speaker 3: So it could be the Saints with Derek Carr or
Speaker 3: the Jets with Rogers.
Speaker 2: I think the Jets probably would be number one. And
Speaker 2: he's a fantastic receiver. Right. The Raiders are just they're
Speaker 2: they're bizarre, you know, sometimes they look good, sometimes look bad.
Speaker 2: They haven't looked good since nineteen eighty six. That they
Speaker 2: like the Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when was the last time they want a playoff game?
Speaker 2: The Raiders or the Cowboys? The Cowboys have been a lot.
Speaker 2: They won one, I think last since the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: ninety six to what we were talking about just moments ago.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: The Liberty defeated the Aces eighty eight to eighty four
Speaker 3: yesterday to take a two oho series lead in the
Speaker 3: best of five. Game three is Friday in Vegas, and
Speaker 3: the Links defeated the Sun seventy seven to seventy that
Speaker 3: even that series won one and Game three is also
Speaker 3: Friday in Connecticut.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So along those lines, I think that some of
Speaker 2: the bigger stories that I've seen today, at least excuse me,
Speaker 2: it was that Caitlin Cark's out right, So the the
Speaker 2: viewership has been hit hard.
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised. It's been her year, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and people, you know, did you watch any of
Speaker 2: her games?
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because of her? Because yeah, yeah, you just kind of
Speaker 2: want to see what she's gonna do right. Uh, she's
Speaker 2: got that Stephen Curry factor where you watching think what's
Speaker 2: she gonna come up with? Now, I'm not even sure
Speaker 2: why I did, but I did do the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean definitely in her college games. You know,
Speaker 4: it was it was kind of just the way it was,
Speaker 4: the way it was presented and it was available, and
Speaker 4: ESPN especially did a great job I think of promoting
Speaker 4: her and the other young women that were coming through
Speaker 4: college basketball. I mean it's this is about as powerful
Speaker 4: and as strong that sport has been.
Speaker 2: Since we've been around. I think Brink Reese, you got married,
Speaker 2: and Cameron Brink just announced she's getting married. All kinds
Speaker 2: of stuffy, you know now, So you know, a threesomeilire
Speaker 2: with with Caitlyn and Reese and uh and Brink and
Speaker 2: there's others obviously.
Speaker 4: I mean, Reese is on the cover of Sports Illustrated
Speaker 4: last month, so you.
Speaker 2: Know, I even about to someone I bought it, but
Speaker 2: someone got me a Kaitlyn cart Clark shirt I work
Speaker 2: the other day. Yeah that's pretty cool. Sure.
Speaker 4: I saw something today too about maybe Nike is not
Speaker 4: promoting her as much as they thought they were going
Speaker 4: to because I don't know. I mean, I didn't read
Speaker 4: deeper into this. Yeah, so I'm sure now that she's
Speaker 4: kind of finally has an off season, she'll have a
Speaker 4: little extra time to do whatever it is that she
Speaker 4: needs to do to get promoted. And I'm sure she's
Speaker 4: going to have all kinds of a collection of clothes
Speaker 4: and shoes and commercials.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you went through it right at the TV. They
Speaker 2: cut your hair and they gave you free clothes sort
Speaker 2: of what is that something one of those Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: you don't need to tell me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Arizona Football has announced today that the homecoming game versus
Speaker 3: Colorado on October nineteenth has already been sold out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, did you get your guy a ticket?
Speaker 3: Well, the student tickets aren't until like a week.
Speaker 2: Well, so you're not guaranteed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not garing.
Speaker 2: So you either you get what or you don't. And
Speaker 2: Matt may or may not get in.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think I'm not going to go as
Speaker 2: a reporter. I'm going to go as a fan because
Speaker 2: it's the uh Deon Sanders curiosity, right, and it should
Speaker 2: be a good game. I guess Deon's bringing the family.
Speaker 2: It's a big family affair. When he arrives, it's going
Speaker 2: to be a lot of fun, big TV. It'll be
Speaker 2: nice to know what time the game is going to be.
Speaker 2: That's always a big question. They didn't say what time, right.
Speaker 4: They're just said it will come out like a week before, yeah,
Speaker 4: or so thin team.
Speaker 2: That's two weeks from this weekend already the twenty six
Speaker 2: What games.

Speaker 2: so you're not getting out of the eleven thirty maybe gosh
Speaker 2: a late night walking to the car.
Speaker 4: Twelve, I have those dreadful nine o'clock basketball starts, so
Speaker 4: I'm sure Arizona'll have a few of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah this year, I mean, if you can.
Speaker 4: I mean one of the beauties of the Big Twelve.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're like me, but I mean
Speaker 4: there are Big twelve games on all day long in football,
Speaker 4: starting right at the very beginning of the day. That
Speaker 4: Kansas State Oklahoma State game was on it at nine,

Speaker 3: today L D D S against the Guardians, which will
Speaker 3: started on Saturday, and the Royals and Orioles are currently playing.
Speaker 3: It is two to one Royals in the winner of
Speaker 3: that series will also play the Yankees starting on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 4: I mean, I again, I've enjoyed watching the Yankees and
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, the two teams who were I'm sure favored
Speaker 4: but probably won't wind up that way. But that's kind
Speaker 4: of how baseball goes, it seems. But it's been fun.
Speaker 4: Watching Otani and weren't judge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Jicks loved the LUNGBW I do love the
Speaker 2: long ball.
Speaker 3: The trade that will send Karl Anthony Towns to the
Speaker 3: Knicks and Julius Randall and Dante Devintenzo to the Timberwolves
Speaker 3: is officially.
Speaker 2: Official, officially official. Are you a k I am a
Speaker 2: Knicks fan. Yeah, you're a Knicks fan. It's been a
Speaker 2: tough life for you, son.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: In fact, I was going to send you a meme.
Speaker 2: I will send you a memo about the Jets because
Speaker 2: we were talking about in the car coming up one day.
Speaker 2: It was like last week. Some guy said, my dad
Speaker 2: told me not to not to to well the show.
Speaker 2: It was kind of off color, but you know which
Speaker 2: of course made me think should I send this to
Speaker 2: you or not? Well, I get in trouble because you're
Speaker 2: my interned. But it was it was very funny and
Speaker 2: it was very accurate with what you and I talked
Speaker 2: about because your dad told give me the story.
Speaker 3: My dad basically told me when I was like seven
Speaker 3: that me and my brother didn't have to root for
Speaker 3: the Jets and we could pick a different team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was a Jets guy. Yeah, he didn't
Speaker 2: want you to suffer the misery that he's been suffering.
Speaker 3: That's all I got.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that was what. Uh, there was a few
Speaker 2: things out there that I talked, So we talked about
Speaker 2: the Caitlin Clark factor. I wanted you to find I'm
Speaker 2: looking at the Zona Zoo website, you said, and I
Speaker 2: can't find it either, Right, who's in charge there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a link that I clicked on that
Speaker 3: just took me in nothing.
Speaker 2: And this said, yeah it says expireds. I'm there because
Speaker 2: I want to get one of those students that's in
Speaker 2: charge over there. I have to. You know, Jay's one
Speaker 2: that ripped him a lot. But they've been fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have been something they hadn't been in the past,
Speaker 2: which is fantastic. Yeah, there's it's kind of nice.
Speaker 4: They built that little section, couple sections where they can
Speaker 4: just stand, you know, and they don't have to you know.
Speaker 2: Of course, that isn't it like around the twenties there's
Speaker 2: that open air area. Isn't that still?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh I thought there were there's no seats there.
Speaker 3: There's like part of the sections you can just stand
Speaker 3: in the front.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of like standing room only situations. Okay,
Speaker 4: you know, like stuck on the bleachers and things like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well it's been fantastic. I'm you sure you're the
Speaker 2: leader of that group there, Henry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much of a leader. They have no
Speaker 3: idea who's in charge?
Speaker 2: Is there somebody ever in charge? Or there has to
Speaker 2: be somebody in charge? You have like a captain or
Speaker 2: president of the people.
Speaker 3: There's students who work for it, but I don't I
Speaker 3: don't know how to get in touch with them.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, we're trying to find them. I want to
Speaker 2: kind of say, hey, what do you want to know? Oh,
Speaker 2: the fact that they've they've been really good, because yeah,
Speaker 2: I've been sticking around. They're in full force. Uh, this
Speaker 2: is totally different than we've seen in the past. But
Speaker 2: I've seen in the past where you know, it's a
Speaker 2: pizza party at halftime and they're gone, right, you know,
Speaker 2: Bob Dobbs or whoever is opening two for ones or something,
Speaker 2: because they're gone.
Speaker 4: Well, as I was saying before, you watch those big
Speaker 4: twelve games, Yeah, they are rare crazy. You know, eleven
Speaker 4: o'clock start in still Water and the place is rocking
Speaker 4: and you know, Arizona is gonna need to pick up
Speaker 4: their game if they want to stick, you know, close
Speaker 4: to the attendance figures, no question.
Speaker 2: And you've been here long enough and you never left,
Speaker 2: like me, what's the reason? Because it's two Solon's a
Speaker 2: nice place, but people here, So you know, Tucson, there's
Speaker 2: a lot to do where there's not anything to do. Uh,
Speaker 2: in those places, there's probably plenty to do, like Tucson, right,
Speaker 2: it's it's a smallish big town or whatever. And they stay,
Speaker 2: they stay, and they and they rock the house.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know there's some larger cities in
Speaker 4: that conference, to the Cincinnatis and the TCUs and Central Floridas,
Speaker 4: whereas that's in Orlando. So I mean there's some big
Speaker 4: cities in that in that conference, and they are filling
Speaker 4: the stadiums, and you know, I think, I don't know,
Speaker 4: there's some crazy statistic about that where it's you know,
Speaker 4: eighty five percent filled things in most cases, if not better.
Speaker 4: And even you know BYU's always done, Utah always phills
Speaker 4: and so Arizona as you need to kind of step
Speaker 4: up their game a little bit.
Speaker 2: Right, We'll see if that happens. But it's it's very
Speaker 2: cool and Arizona needs the needs the attendance financially, that's
Speaker 2: for sure. In otherwise, so we'll see. Just was that it,
Speaker 2: Senor Henry. That's everything you had locally. I knew there
Speaker 2: were some other things.
Speaker 4: It'd be another good thing. Not that I'm here to
Speaker 4: book your guests, but you know, a new president starting there,
Speaker 4: and be interesting to see his feelings about athletics, because
Speaker 4: Robert Robbins was a.
Speaker 2: Big Well that's funny because I saw that he had
Speaker 2: a speech out there today right at the at the Union.
Speaker 2: You didn't go to that, did you? The new president? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The new president. Well, I wanted to. I want to
Speaker 2: still want to get doctor Robinson because he was a
Speaker 2: frequent guest and he was a fantastic guest because you know,
Speaker 2: you talked sports. He was lighting it up, tell us
Speaker 2: some stuff. I wanted to say goodbye to him one
Speaker 2: because he you know, we talked every now and at
Speaker 2: the basketball games. Uh, and then he'll missed I'm sure
Speaker 2: he's gonna miss them. Yeah. But the funny thing is
Speaker 2: you want to talk to him. You want to have had
Speaker 2: a new guy for possibly having the same love for sports.
Speaker 2: Just don't get involved. Just don't get involved. The previous president.
Speaker 4: Exactly what I mean. God, the Pack Packed twelve whatever
Speaker 4: they were at the end. I don't know about those presidents.
Speaker 4: I don't know who was making the calls on all that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was just that nobody could agree. Egos, egos gotten
Speaker 4: the way of a good time.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And now you got Gonzaga going into the big
Speaker 2: I had Andy Opis here yesterday and I think it
Speaker 2: was on the year maybe not. And we were talking
Speaker 2: about that the PAC twelve is in name only. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: in name only because those teams went into PAC twelve
Speaker 2: are not Pack twelve. No, no, you know, are they
Speaker 2: still going to have headquarters in San Francisco or I
Speaker 2: wouldn't do I would assume not. I would think that they. Well,
Speaker 2: the one of the things that should have happened a
Speaker 2: long time ago was and Larry Scott should have spearheaded
Speaker 2: this has moved to Vegas. But you know, the emperor
Speaker 2: has no clothes, and he wanted it in San Francisco
Speaker 2: at the highest priced place you could pay in San
Speaker 2: Francisco because of who he was or what he thought
Speaker 2: he was. Yeah, No, he put him in Colorado State
Speaker 2: and have cheap bread.
Speaker 4: I think the studio is still going to be a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and that's going to be used either these Mountain West
Speaker 4: teams that are coming in or I know that the
Speaker 4: studio is not going anywhere for a while, so that
Speaker 4: they're gonna always have the Pac twelve studios, which are
Speaker 4: beautiful in San Francisco, right down the street from where
Speaker 4: the Giants play. Yeah, it's a great location from that standpoint,
Speaker 4: just cost a fortune.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we were talking about this. We have a
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. The Fernano Venezuela. Yeah, it's he's gonna
Speaker 2: step away from his Spanish speaking job with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: He's been there since I didn't realize since ninety one,
Speaker 2: since ninety one on his new gig, you're not new gig,
Speaker 2: most recent gig, so thirty some years. And now he
Speaker 2: looked well, I guess it's because of health. He didn't
Speaker 2: look good. No, no, it wasn't the Fernando that we
Speaker 2: remember watched. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The quote I'm reading here is quote he aims to
Speaker 4: return for the twenty twenty five season, but he's gonna
Speaker 4: leave to focus on his health. He's been broadcasting for
Speaker 4: Spanish radio for a long time. You know, we've watched
Speaker 4: him since nineteen eighty one. That was a big Fernando
Speaker 4: Mania year and he kind of you know he do
Speaker 4: you remember when he came through Tucson a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, no year, No, was he in the Mexican League.
Speaker 4: No, there was a moment. What was he here for exactly?
Speaker 4: That wasn't Jane, No, it was him. They look alike.
Speaker 4: But no, he was here. I believe he was coaching
Speaker 4: maybe a Mexican youth team or maybe a Mexican Olympic team.
Speaker 4: There was a time where I remember hearing about that, Yes,
Speaker 4: and I remember we had lunch. There was an event
Speaker 4: at Meeches, the restaurant Meaches like South Gissan, and he
Speaker 4: was there, and I know he was in town for
Speaker 4: some for some reason. This has got to be twenty
Speaker 4: five years ago.
Speaker 2: That reminds me. I'm sure he brought a big crowd. Yeah,
Speaker 2: big crowd. He's kind of like De la Hoya, who
Speaker 2: brought big crowds when he was here. Outside of that,
Speaker 2: and I'm probably speaking out of turn here, but I
Speaker 2: went to a lot of those I was you know,
Speaker 2: took pictures of del Hoya covering boxing and just happens
Speaker 2: to have taking pictures any other Hispanic guys that have
Speaker 2: come through here that were not singers, h Julio Caesar Travis. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he fought here, well his son did, the son did
Speaker 2: and uh and Macho Camacho back and then covered that
Speaker 2: fight when he was here. But nothing like I'm sure Fernando,
Speaker 2: and nothing like De la Hoya that brought brought those
Speaker 2: people out.
Speaker 4: You know, you know when they were both retired, right
Speaker 4: they weren't, they weren't even competing, but they were at
Speaker 4: that point they were like the figurehead for their boxing
Speaker 4: into the casinos and stuff like that. Right, But yeah,
Speaker 4: Fernando came. I mean, I can remember it. I don't
Speaker 4: remember the exact circumstance, but I think it was some
Speaker 4: type of a youth league or remember Arizona excuse me,
Speaker 4: Tucson had us a baseball for a few years. It
Speaker 4: might have been an affiliated with that. When we talked
Speaker 4: to Mike Fader, he could probably reminisce and remember for
Speaker 4: exactly what that reason why it was definitely here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mike was here at the times.

Speaker 1: Streamy Live on the Ihearts Radio Wive. This is Eye
Speaker 1: on the Ball with Steve Rivera on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to I in the Ball here on
Speaker 2: Fox Sports fourteen fifteen on Steve Rivera. In with me
Speaker 2: today is Dave silver Chat formerly Channel nine. Many years ago?
Speaker 2: Does you feel like many years ago? As many years ago?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Twelve? As he's not calling, right, we're waiting for my favorite.
Speaker 5: Come.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you should we call him? I think yeah,
Speaker 2: he calls it. He's he's a big boy. He knows
Speaker 2: what he's doing. Okay, so let me ask you maybe
Speaker 2: a personal question. You may not be, but you're out
Speaker 2: of You've been out of the business, sello, out of
Speaker 2: the eleven years. Eleven years and that's kind of an
Speaker 2: attorney for sports that you were in it forever too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: as I watched TV and this is not shock as
Speaker 2: I watch TV, is as we all watch TV or whatever.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: The age range is like twenty two to twenty eight
Speaker 2: to the anchors in the in the anchors and just
Speaker 2: the people out in the field though. It's just the
Speaker 2: way of the world, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I guess it kind of just depends to on the
Speaker 4: on the market where you are, and Tucson is generally,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe the second stop for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now it's the first stop. You're exactly right
Speaker 2: in my opinion too. Yeah, yeah, I mean for me,
Speaker 2: it was my third stop. So I worked four years
Speaker 2: before I got here, and that was the process, right,
Speaker 2: that was the process.
Speaker 4: I probably could have gotten away with without the middle one,
Speaker 4: but just the way it turned out, that one actually
Speaker 4: turned out to be really beneficial. But San Luis Obispo,
Speaker 4: So Cal Polly and a bunch of high schools.
Speaker 2: So what was your first stop? Palm Springs? Palm Springs, Okay,
Speaker 2: and you have Palm Springs, Well saw my paycheck? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have any question about that. And that's another thing.
Speaker 2: TV people is glorious as it sounds. Don't make a
Speaker 2: whole lot of money now at that level. It takes
Speaker 2: a lot of levels to get some money.
Speaker 4: And when I think about what it took to get
Speaker 4: me out of Palm Springs and what it took to
Speaker 4: get me here, it's it's pretty laughable, but it experienced things,
Speaker 4: especially what I had done in the two smaller markets,
Speaker 4: really helping once I got here.
Speaker 2: Laughable in a good way or a bad way to
Speaker 2: check you, Yeah, it was it was rough.
Speaker 4: Oh you're talking about living.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so it was not a big jump. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a big jump. Yeah. It was a good
Speaker 2: jomb yeah, from one to three. Yeah, yeah, no, as
Speaker 2: it should be. I mean, this is still a market
Speaker 2: where people come in after out of Crown Kite or
Speaker 2: here and and stay or not. And I think one
Speaker 2: of the things that the kids, and I'll say kids,
Speaker 2: young guys out of call, young people out of college,
Speaker 2: realize it's work. It's work in a different way. Because
Speaker 2: Dave Silver had a cameraman. Dave Silver probably wrote his script.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe nowadays they do it all yeah, right,
Speaker 2: and they become I didn't, but I didn't sign up
Speaker 2: for this. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But you know what, when I started, I had to
Speaker 4: do that all myself. The smaller markets back. You know,
Speaker 4: you start working in Palm Springs or places like that,
Speaker 4: You're going out there with the camera on your own
Speaker 4: and you know, coming up with a story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was it was not easy yeah, so
Speaker 2: I want to reach out to Mike. Mike usually has
Speaker 2: his phone here just once you give him a quick call,
Speaker 2: so he's probably getting ready for this big game tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I want to give him grief about that that graphic
Speaker 2: you know you need to bit charter or what are those?
Speaker 2: What are those things that you know.
Speaker 4: The every sponsor that you can think of is mentioned
Speaker 4: in this one graphic about the Mexican Baseball Fiesta, which
Speaker 4: starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, No, I just want to talk about
Speaker 2: the TV uh. And I'm sure it was a great,
Speaker 2: great career obviously, and you eventually just eventually said goodbye
Speaker 2: to it. No, it was it was good. And now
Speaker 2: the Sean Mooney's of the world are still there. But
Speaker 2: you gonna wait, who shut Moody, Shut Mooney. He's still here.
Speaker 2: He's still there. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's like
Speaker 2: one of the older ones there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we've go way back. There was a
Speaker 4: moment in his career where he was working for the w.
Speaker 2: W F I believe, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember Sean
Speaker 2: Sean just safe sitting would mention him out, what hey, Mike,
Speaker 2: is this you. This is me, Mike Fader. Did you
Speaker 2: not get my text message to you?
Speaker 5: No, I've been I'm putting out fire inside of the ball.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that makes sense. You're hey. By the way,
Speaker 2: your your flyer for the games at Keno Memorial Stadium.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I need like a pipe chart I test
Speaker 2: exam to figure it out.
Speaker 5: Well, how do you think I feel? I'm older than
Speaker 5: you are?
Speaker 2: Holy moly, you got it? What did you say, Dave?
Speaker 4: What you got about? How many sponsors?
Speaker 5: Mike?
Speaker 4: You must have twenty five sponsors, which is good?
Speaker 5: No, we have. We have a lot of sponsors, and
Speaker 5: we've got a lot of stuff going on, and we
Speaker 5: got and we got a lot of events and a
Speaker 5: lot of music, and it's just a whole I could
Speaker 5: say something a lot worse, but it's just a big
Speaker 5: sack full of great stuff.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: In fact, I was telling Dave here if we're asking
Speaker 2: David if you've ever been to a game, and then
Speaker 2: he said no, And I'm thinking you got to go.
Speaker 2: It's just for the just for the fun.
Speaker 5: What Dave is on with you?
Speaker 2: Dave Silver?
Speaker 5: Oh, Hi, Dave, I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 2: It's me.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've never been doing I've always been doing that.
Speaker 4: I've always came. I got free time, so I can
Speaker 4: come there.
Speaker 5: You go?
Speaker 2: What day do you suggest you go? Sunday? The Pachunka?
Speaker 2: Saturday the Pachuna? What Pajunga do you go to.
Speaker 5: Sunday? Is La Breisa? Uh? So that's always a funny act.
Speaker 5: But the band Friday uh is supposed to be really good.
Speaker 5: Somebody showed me a video. I can't pronounce it. So uh.
Speaker 5: The band in Almo Ceo a few weeks ago through
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 2: What Wow, they're gonna play?
Speaker 4: So when did they play?
Speaker 2: They played during the game, the big band.
Speaker 5: No, the big bands play following the games, and if anything,
Speaker 5: they start maybe towards the end of the second game.
Speaker 5: And then we have bands that play between games. Uh.
Speaker 5: And then we have music that plays all the time.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it wasn't Pitbull.
Speaker 5: I think we have I think we actually have played
Speaker 5: Pitbull before.
Speaker 2: Bad Bunny Yeah, so many big No.
Speaker 5: I don't know if we played Bad Fun.
Speaker 2: No, I'm sure. How was last week? Did you were
Speaker 2: in Phoenix?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah? It's too hot? Oh the heat killed us there.
Speaker 5: It was like we were starting games at like one
Speaker 5: ten ouh and it's just one twelve one day. So
Speaker 5: the heat really did us in last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's gonna be a little better here, but
Speaker 2: still gonna be.
Speaker 5: Well, the difference is here it is a little better.
Speaker 5: I'd be closer to one hundred, which obviously is not great.
Speaker 5: But it cools down in Tucson. It doesn't cool down
Speaker 5: in Phoenix, and so at night it will be beautiful
Speaker 5: out here. I mean that's so you know, we're looking
Speaker 5: forward to it and we're not. You know, this temperature
Speaker 5: is probably similar to some years we've had here and
Speaker 5: it really didn't hurt us that badly. It Plus, the
Speaker 5: people in Tucson know this event so well, right, I
Speaker 5: mean this is year thirteen. You know. In Phoenix last
Speaker 5: week we went from Sloan Park where the Cubs have
Speaker 5: spring training, to Camelback Ranch where the Dodgers and White
Speaker 5: Sox are and so that created some confusion as well.
Speaker 5: You know, this this is just this is they know
Speaker 5: where they are and they're ready to come out and
Speaker 5: have a good time.
Speaker 4: Okay, So there's four days, two games each day. Correct,
Speaker 4: Where where are these teams in terms of training? I mean,
Speaker 4: obviously the u of A is going to be is
Speaker 4: going to slide into that first day. Are these teasons
Speaker 4: winter ball or were?
Speaker 5: No? No, The Mexican Winter League season starts the end
Speaker 5: of next week, so this is training. This is spring
Speaker 5: training for them, just like the Major league teams that
Speaker 5: used to come here. This is preceding the start of
Speaker 5: their season. And so four of the six teams that
Speaker 5: are playing here. We're in Phoenix last week and stayed
Speaker 5: here all week and Tucsons, you know, stayed at our hotels,
Speaker 5: eight at our restaurants and just had a good time.
Speaker 5: We added two more teams. This is the most we've
Speaker 5: ever had from the Mexican Winter League. We added was
Speaker 5: Save and one other which I can't think of right
Speaker 5: now because I'm in the press box trying to help
Speaker 5: resolve an issue with the many new video boards. But
Speaker 5: we have. But we have six teams and so we
Speaker 5: will take Obviously, he can only play four teams at
Speaker 5: a time. Aramal Ceo UH who won their league championships
Speaker 5: last year, UH and went to the Caribbean World Series.
Speaker 5: UH is here all four days and they're always the
Speaker 5: second game. UH. You know, Oh, we going in Mexico,
Speaker 5: Ali and uh, and teams like that Navajoa, they're all
Speaker 5: teams that have been regulars with us. And and you know,
Speaker 5: I was talking to Francisco Gamas, my partner, and he
Speaker 5: was saying, they've they've signed some guys that probably won't
Speaker 5: report till next week in Mexico that are played professional
Speaker 5: baseball at at the Triple A level. Uh, so they're
Speaker 5: going to be joining the team. You know, they wanted
Speaker 5: to give those players a little time off because quite honestly,
Speaker 5: I mean, it's long minor league season and and so
Speaker 5: they're going to start a little later than some of
Speaker 5: the other players. But each Mexican Winter League team has
Speaker 5: allowed so many imports, okay players not only from the
Speaker 5: United States, but it could be from Cuba, it could
Speaker 5: be from Venezuela. Uh, it could be any of that stuff.
Speaker 5: So uh, it's just it's it's it really is good baseball.
Speaker 5: Steve and I have talked about this before. It's very
Speaker 5: competitive baseball. But but we say, uh, it's a party
Speaker 5: where a baseball game broke out, and that's kind of
Speaker 5: what goes on.
Speaker 2: Right, No question, when I saw it, that's exactly how
Speaker 2: I felt. I said, who would have thought that when
Speaker 2: you when you invited me to come and help you
Speaker 2: for that one summer, and I was like, what crap,
Speaker 2: this is amazing. I had to go on the on
Speaker 2: the concourse just to get the feel of what it was.
Speaker 2: And when you go on the on the concourse, you're like,
Speaker 2: can I just stay down here? You know it's not
Speaker 2: much fun.
Speaker 5: No, it's it's well again. Music never stops except for
Speaker 5: when the pitcher goes in the stretch and let's go
Speaker 5: to the ball. Uh And but but what happens is
Speaker 5: people just hang out and they have a good time
Speaker 5: with their friends and their relatives and their family and
Speaker 5: and and they're doing different things. And are they all
Speaker 5: watching the game. I would say probably not. But there
Speaker 5: are a lot of You'll see like Ammo Ceo, the
Speaker 5: non and Harrows. Their colors are orange. You'll see orange
Speaker 5: jerseys everywhere, same thing with overgone blue jerseys. And you know,
Speaker 5: that really makes it fun because this is a chance
Speaker 5: for them to see their team that they grew up
Speaker 5: with and then they moved to the States or their
Speaker 5: grandma and grandpa still live in Airmo Ceo, and that
Speaker 5: makes it special. You're bringing home to them without having
Speaker 5: to drive two three four hours.
Speaker 2: So you've been in the business from thirty some maybe
Speaker 2: forty years, I don't know exactly, but these types of
Speaker 2: things last week thirty five, thirty five. Does this stir
Speaker 2: the juices again?
Speaker 5: It does? And quite honestly, as a guy who's run
Speaker 5: the Triple A team for fifteen years, it's this product
Speaker 5: is much more fun than a Triple A game because
Speaker 5: something's always going on. You know, people are are dancing
Speaker 5: and having fun that in a Triple A our hands
Speaker 5: were tied. We couldn't do a lot of things. And
Speaker 5: that's that's really why I love this product and we
Speaker 5: like tomorrow night. I think you know the U of
Speaker 5: A is going to be out here for the second game.
Speaker 5: Chip Hale loves the Mexican baseball because he feels it
Speaker 5: really as good to prepare a players for for bigger
Speaker 5: crowds and bigger stadiums, and and and insanity. Well not
Speaker 5: only that, Tommy Lloyd calls me and says, hey, could
Speaker 5: I come out? Could I throw out the first pitch
Speaker 5: for the second game? Oh yeah, he loves this game.
Speaker 5: I mean he he He turned down another charity event
Speaker 5: in town just so he can come here. And and
Speaker 5: he's he might bring some players. Uh. He said, He's
Speaker 5: got a few players to speak Spanish, and I'm going
Speaker 5: to put them in touch with the Hispanic media and
Speaker 5: let them do interviews with that. We know the little
Speaker 5: guard is from Spain, but he said, Vasar speaks Spanish,
Speaker 5: and so it'll be fun for them because again this
Speaker 5: is bringing them closer to home.
Speaker 4: Talk a little bit about the media and what is
Speaker 4: the attention of this event south of the border.
Speaker 5: Ermal Ceo brings and they're here for three weeks, the
Speaker 5: whole time. The teams in the states, video people, photographers,
Speaker 5: radio broadcasters, TV broadcasters, pr people. I mean, it's a
Speaker 5: large contention, probably ten people that are here for over
Speaker 5: three weeks. And the games that aermal Ceo broadcasts all
Speaker 5: of their games when they're in Tucson. Those games are
Speaker 5: broadcast all the way throughout the country of Mexico on PayTV,
Speaker 5: so people have a chance to watch it and really,
Speaker 5: you know, look forward to the start of their season
Speaker 5: just like we would have during the old days of
Speaker 5: spring training.
Speaker 2: Is uh, Saturday's game, Saturday Nights game affected by the
Speaker 2: football game.
Speaker 5: Now our crowd and the u of a football fans
Speaker 5: are not the same fans.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 5: It might affect a few people, but overall, I would
Speaker 5: say not, Uh, you know, it's it's it's it's not
Speaker 5: something that we're concerned about. My wife always says, oh
Speaker 5: my god, we got this event that we have to
Speaker 5: go to and this is going on, and this is
Speaker 5: going on, and this is going on. I don't care.
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a ton of a million people. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so there's always things going on. You just do the
Speaker 5: best you can to get people to come out.
Speaker 2: Right right real quick. Tell us how to get tickets,
Speaker 2: how to get there, whatever we need to know.
Speaker 5: Mexican Baseball Fiesta dot com. You buy tickets online tomorrow
Speaker 5: morning at ten o'clock Keino Stadium. We're going to be
Speaker 5: out here the whole time from there through the start
Speaker 5: of the game. The first game is at five o'clock.
Speaker 5: Gates open at four, so that'll be going on. They
Speaker 5: can call and it's just it's you save the money
Speaker 5: if you buy it in person. To be honest with you,
Speaker 5: but our fees compared to a ticket master or something
Speaker 5: like that, are nominal. We just want to make it
Speaker 5: easy for people. Our tickets for kids, kids six to sixteen,
Speaker 5: ten dollars, Military ten dollars, Senior citizens ten dollars, and
Speaker 5: under six is free. So it's an affordable product. And again,
Speaker 5: I don't know how many times we can use the word,
Speaker 5: but it's a fiesta slash party and that's what we
Speaker 5: love doing.
Speaker 2: So you start at five five thirty. So how long
Speaker 2: is it a speed game like the major leagues? Do
Speaker 2: you have clocks? Do you have all that stuff?
Speaker 5: No, no clock, And it's not quite as fast as
Speaker 5: it is in the Big League nowadays. But usually it's
Speaker 5: a seventeen game. So we could play games. Were playing
Speaker 5: two two and a half, you know in there, and
Speaker 5: then the half hour between games, let the ground screw
Speaker 5: get the field done and take care and we usually
Speaker 5: have all kinds of first pitches and announcements and things
Speaker 5: going on, and then second game cranks up. Now tomorrow
Speaker 5: the second game, Chip Hal, the U of a baseball coach,
Speaker 5: wants to play nine innings. And the reason we're doing
Speaker 5: that he wants to get more pictures in the game.
Speaker 5: We said fine, and you know, so it works out great.
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask one question before we say goodbye.
Speaker 4: But there's been some news today about Fernando of allen Zuela,
Speaker 4: speaking of Mexican baseball, maybe.
Speaker 2: The greatest player of all time.
Speaker 4: He's kind of start of stepping away from broadcasting to
Speaker 4: focus on his health.
Speaker 2: Which really he doesn't. He doesn't look good, and.
Speaker 4: You know it doesn't The pictures have not been recently.
Speaker 5: Think about what's happened, what we've heard in the last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember Rose can't bame my Tombo? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you remember the time he came to Tucson?
Speaker 2: Do you remember I remember interviewing him here?
Speaker 5: Well the circumstance, here's a funny one for you. No,
Speaker 5: and he's he's still very active in the league. I
Speaker 5: think he actually has part of ourship. One of the teams,
Speaker 5: Bobby Wick Junior. If you remember Steve you might.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Dave would.
Speaker 5: We used to bring the Pall League teams in.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Probably Wick Junior played on this field against the Mexican
Speaker 5: Winter League team.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Well, so Fernando did he How do you
Speaker 2: remember his return to Tucson or what? Was it?
Speaker 5: Just very very friendly. People took pictures with him, you
Speaker 5: know the whole thing.
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to remember this. There was a luncheon.
Speaker 4: I remember, I don't know if you were there. There
Speaker 4: was a luncheon he was at, and I can't remember
Speaker 4: if he was in town for like an Olympic Mexican
Speaker 4: Olympic team, where a youth team or some some coach
Speaker 4: something he was involved with as a coach. I want
Speaker 4: to say, but this was, you know, twenty five years ago.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, but right, yeah, hopefully the news is better,
Speaker 4: better than what we're reading to me.
Speaker 5: I hope.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Okay, my good luck this weekend.

Speaker 2: It was fun. Got smart and got out and became
Speaker 2: a TV guy. Yep, you missed it those days. We did.
Speaker 4: San Diego State, as everybody knows is my Yeah, as
Speaker 4: nobody knows it was my alma mater. But I mean
Speaker 4: it was great. Did play by play? Did newscast? We did?
Speaker 2: We did all.
Speaker 4: We had like an AM and FM station. So the
Speaker 4: AM station was all kind of news and sports talk
Speaker 4: in sports news, and the FM station was all wild
Speaker 4: music whenever anybody wanted tourist was Tony Gwinn. Tony Gwynn
Speaker 4: just got so. Tony gwyn was a freshman when I
Speaker 4: was a senior, so we had just arrived.
Speaker 2: And he was a fantastic basketball player. Oh yeah, the guard, right,
Speaker 2: he was a guard. Yeah, and I think he may
Speaker 2: still have the record for assists career assistantly. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: would surprise me because he's got that eye. You don't
Speaker 2: have to have that special quality. Yeah, but to do
Speaker 2: all that, yeah, assist guy and maybe hit guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of that was like my first taste
Speaker 4: of broadcasting was was doing those games and doing like
Speaker 4: kind of daily newscasts and stuff.
Speaker 2: I always asked this question of people who come on
Speaker 2: or I do stories on? I asked Andy Lopez of
Speaker 2: this yesterday. So what did you want to do when
Speaker 2: you grew up? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I kind of knew I wanted to do this when
Speaker 4: I was about fifteen or so, in that kind of age,
Speaker 4: like still in high school. Not quite sure how I
Speaker 4: would do it, but I was annoying my parents. I
Speaker 4: would do like play by play in the car, you know,
Speaker 4: driving down the street. My mom used to always remind
Speaker 4: me about that again. I lived in an area in

Speaker 2: think maybe or so eight minutes ahead of Okay, anybody
Speaker 2: want to call, please do five to two four one
Speaker 2: six seventy four forty let us know how we're doing.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on this weekend's game. The spread is six
Speaker 2: ish six six and a half. Maybe I like that number.
Speaker 2: I like that number. That might be a pick of mine.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'd have to see. I'm not sold, though.
Speaker 2: Do you pick Arizona games on this No, Well you
Speaker 2: can if you want. I've done it once this year.
Speaker 2: I got beat. I think I rarely do. It might
Speaker 2: have been maybe any of you. I can't remember, but
Speaker 2: I rarely do because not because of whatever, but it's
Speaker 2: just I just don't because I don't feel competent in
Speaker 2: either way. But I don't know if you remember when
Speaker 2: I did it for the newspaper. I did it every game,
Speaker 2: and I was I was pretty good at that because
Speaker 2: I knew the team. You know, when you don't really
Speaker 2: know the team like I don't now, but I knew
Speaker 2: the team and how they would play against certain teams
Speaker 2: you knew. I kind of gave a lot of nice tips,
Speaker 2: and people said they made a lot of money because
Speaker 2: you could kind of tell when they go to U C.
Speaker 9: L A.
Speaker 2: But you know this and people because you witnessed it.
Speaker 2: I witnessed this for a long time. Anytime you tell
Speaker 2: Arizona you can't, they do. Anytime you say it's going
Speaker 2: to be easy, they don't. Am I joking?
Speaker 4: No, It's been that way forever.
Speaker 2: Forever, Yeah, forever. And maybe it's the same with other
Speaker 2: schools that other places. But no question, because we see
Speaker 2: it first out of here, it happens here. Yeah, explain
Speaker 2: ninety seven basketball.
Speaker 4: I know that's always been like, you can't believe that
Speaker 4: happened that year after they had so many amazing years
Speaker 4: in and around that period, Right they could have won it?
Speaker 2: And then explained ninety eight. Yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: was watching it. I couldn't believe it. The opposite, right, Utah,
Speaker 2: I got Utah, he just nobody and then kicked the
Speaker 2: crap out of them by twenty four. I mean, anything you
Speaker 2: tell them you can't, they do. You can't, they will
Speaker 2: they don't.
Speaker 4: I'm wondering if that's you know, we're so close to
Speaker 4: it and I have been watching it for so long,
Speaker 4: but you wonder about other cities and other teams if yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: a feeling like, oh, you know the same thing happens
Speaker 4: at Missouri.
Speaker 2: Oh yay, thing happens. I'm sure it does places well
Speaker 2: the funny. Are you a sportsman? Still?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who's your favorite team in what's sport? Give me a sport? Football?
Speaker 2: NFL forty nine ers. Do you do they break your heart? Still?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do so you have that much involved? I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know, you're one hundred years old. Day, let's get
Speaker 2: out exactly.
Speaker 4: I know, well, I mean I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know because I was always had to be
Speaker 4: so you know, down the middle, I'm biased. I never
Speaker 4: really had like a team. That's me kind of thing,
Speaker 4: you know. I just like I'd like great games and
Speaker 4: great messhaps that's me.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I don't know how a game is gonna go, Like
Speaker 4: like the game the other day, the Alabama Georgia game,
Speaker 4: I could care.
Speaker 2: Less, but it's fantastic, fantastic watch that game. We got
Speaker 2: a call with let's go to call. You're on the
Speaker 2: air and I on the ball.
Speaker 15: Gentlemen, good show.
Speaker 2: Hey man, I just wanted a team money.
Speaker 15: I just wanted to say that Utah game was kind
Speaker 15: of up in the air game like win or lose.
Speaker 3: It really didn't.
Speaker 15: Yeah, right, this is the game that matters, and that
Speaker 15: if you want to know who you are and where
Speaker 15: you are this is it And that line is kind
Speaker 15: of disconcerting. Not not that I'm a gambler, because I'm not,
Speaker 15: but for whatever reason, Vegas knows things.
Speaker 3: And I think the Cats are going to have to
Speaker 3: win and win.
Speaker 9: Convincingly to get the fan base believing, ready to go, yeah, believing.
Speaker 15: And it the defense is gonna have to show up again.
Speaker 15: If it's gonna be just this sporadic thing, man, we're
Speaker 15: gonna be in for a long year.
Speaker 2: But if they can put together.
Speaker 15: Just a solid game twenty seven, twenty seven, thirteen, something
Speaker 15: like that, I think.
Speaker 3: Uh, Tucson, Tucson be ready to rock.
Speaker 15: And I think we've got something to go sometime somewhere
Speaker 15: to go, so too.
Speaker 2: If it's gonna so t money. I can't remember you
Speaker 2: called in Friday, maybe a last minute. Did you say
Speaker 2: what would happen on Saturday? Last Saturday?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 12: I didn't.
Speaker 15: I was expecting us to get blown out, but uh,
Speaker 15: you know, hey, uh.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 15: If they can put together a nice game and prove like, hey,
Speaker 15: we're here, like we're here for this, right and we're
Speaker 15: going to be doing this and enforce their will, that's
Speaker 15: what I want to see I want to see them.
Speaker 3: Enforce their will.
Speaker 15: But if they win forty five, forty two, or you
Speaker 15: know something stupid thirty seven, thirty four, I'm gonna be
Speaker 15: uh only be kind of scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the jury is still out. If it's a forty
Speaker 2: five to forty one game or something like that, right,
Speaker 2: especially especially go ahead.
Speaker 15: Do you know anything about this new uh offensive play caller?
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't. But yeah, but they took they
Speaker 2: took to him. Well, I mean it worked. I imagined
Speaker 2: had it not worked, but it worked, which is good.
Speaker 2: They're all on the same page. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll open it up even more. Yeah.
Speaker 15: No, I mean this guy looked like he was watching
Speaker 15: some Kyle Shanahan tape or something. Uh, but yeah, it's
Speaker 15: uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm very excited.
Speaker 15: I'm more excited for this game than I was the
Speaker 15: Utah game.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that all.
Speaker 2: I just hold on real quick, A team money. We
Speaker 2: said that Jay and I that the season really doesn't
Speaker 2: start till now. You thought maybe they'd go two and two,
Speaker 2: lose the two obvious ones, win the two obvious ones,
Speaker 2: and the rest could be very winnable. Don't you feel
Speaker 2: that way? Now they have to win the next No,
Speaker 2: I totally do.
Speaker 15: And I think Texas Tech is a good mirror for
Speaker 15: you of a as far as the program and and and
Speaker 15: how things shake out for them and what their fan
Speaker 15: base expects, especially in some of their media. But I
Speaker 15: think that the Cats have a better just a better team.
Speaker 15: They got, They got more dudes, and they should be
Speaker 15: able to take care of business here at home.
Speaker 3: And Tucson is going to show up.
Speaker 15: But if they don't, then we're gonna have some big problems.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: No, are interesting too, just to look at some of
Speaker 4: these big twelve scorers and Big twelve teams, they're putting
Speaker 4: up points. You know, you mentioned having like a you know,
Speaker 4: a forty two to thirty seven final. I think we're
Speaker 4: gonna see some games like that in the conference, especially
Speaker 4: on the road.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean some of the teams have been scoring a lot,
Speaker 4: some have not been, like Houston has not been very good,
Speaker 4: But everybody else seems to kind of be in that
Speaker 4: thirty five to forty point range for the victory team
Speaker 4: Victoria's team.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I will say this, washing I think Washington State
Speaker 15: blew these guys out, pull them in. So that's kind
Speaker 15: of what I'm'm basing a lot of it off of.
Speaker 15: But yeah, I think that's that's a good comparison.
Speaker 2: And see what the cats can do well. Tea money
Speaker 2: for a guy who doesn't Gammel. We like your name,
Speaker 2: Thanks man, Thanks man, Thanks to money. We've got to go, right,
Speaker 2: I guess Henry. Henry's in charge. Henry's in charge is
Speaker 2: giving the flash line. Gotta go. Thanks a bunch, Henry,
Speaker 2: Thanks Dave. Maybe we'll see you next week. Yep, okay, great,
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
