Speaker 2: three to one series win over the Red Sox so
Speaker 2: opening day was their only loss. It's bummers. We were there,
Speaker 2: Maybe we're Maybe we're bad news, Maybe we're the bad
Speaker 2: luck charm, the good weekend. Jack Lader looks great on Friday. Yes,
Speaker 2: Jacob de Grom looked really good on Sundays and the
Speaker 2: bullpen did it on Saturday. So Ed Bomby El Bombie

Speaker 1: God's country.
Speaker 2: God's country is America. Morgan Wallen's going to get him
Speaker 2: back to where he needs to be. I don't think
Speaker 2: Morgan Wall's going to have anything to do with it. Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll take a look at the Rangers walk up
Speaker 2: songs tomorrow on the show. That was a tease insapri fool,
Speaker 2: So you can't trust any teases. Yeah. Oh so I
Speaker 2: have the bfd Bogo though, going on starts tomorrow that
Speaker 2: if you know lawn tickets, buy one, get one, uh
Speaker 2: ticketmaster dot com. The big story, though, is torpedo bats
Speaker 2: in baseball, because the Yankees just had a big weekend
Speaker 2: of a fifteen home runs in three games and that's
Speaker 2: a record. They had nine in one game, didn't they. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: And the bats are a brainchild of MIT physicist Aaron Leenhardt.
Speaker 2: That nerd. He worked for the Yankees from eighteen to
Speaker 2: twenty four and then he joined the Marlins. But he
Speaker 2: began he began this concept of changing the barrel of
Speaker 2: the baseball bat. So he started working with MLB rules officials,
Speaker 2: did it the right way, contacted them, and he's brought
Speaker 2: this bat to life. Here are your rules. It's got
Speaker 2: to be solid hardwood, no longer than forty two inches
Speaker 2: Okay that's a lot, and no thicker than two point
Speaker 2: sixty one inches, damn girl. And if you look at
Speaker 2: the shape of these torpedo bats, it does look very different.
Speaker 2: So somehow they've done this within the rules.
Speaker 1: It's the exact same weight, it's the same link, it's
Speaker 1: the same density. They've just changed where the sweet spot is.
Speaker 1: So if you're a batter who hits the ball closer
Speaker 1: to your hands as opposed to down in the barrel,
Speaker 1: if you're a guy who you know ends up, you know,
Speaker 1: getting outs because you're hitting it on the weaker part
Speaker 1: of the bat, they just change where the sweet spot is.
Speaker 1: And so the sweet spot is not in the traditional
Speaker 1: spot on these torpedo bats. It's closer to your hands
Speaker 1: on the bat. You don't want to get in a
Speaker 1: situation where you're getting all fisted. Yeah, and so the
Speaker 1: sweet spot moves exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think everyone, I think baseball will move
Speaker 2: pretty fast on this, and by that I mean teams.
Speaker 2: I bet every team is using just torpedo bats beginning
Speaker 2: like this week.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't work for everybody. So for the same reason, like,
Speaker 1: if you're a guy who consistently when you hit a baseball,
Speaker 1: it's in the barrel and that's your sweet spot, you
Speaker 1: don't need to move it. It's just for guys who
Speaker 1: get fisted a lot, no fence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's a couple guys made comments like, look,
Speaker 2: if you can't hit, you can't hit, so you know,
Speaker 2: but good hitters getting even more a Corey seeker, I
Speaker 2: guarantee you that he will turn it this soon.
Speaker 1: Did you see that Yankees are rolling out these gloves
Speaker 1: that are three times larger than.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you can just get them out all the time.
Speaker 2: That's amazing.
Speaker 3: I like when people from different sports hang out together.
Speaker 3: Do you guys think Doug Fister ever hung out with
Speaker 3: Paula Kreamer?
Speaker 2: I think they probably probably did. She's a big golf gal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh back in the day. Legend. Really it's a bit
Speaker 2: of a dated reference, but it's fine.
Speaker 3: Fisher been in the league in about five years either.
Speaker 3: That's why I think that they might spend time together.
Speaker 3: They're both out of their respective sports.
Speaker 2: They're retired. Keah, Yeah, he can swing on down to
Speaker 2: VI Caro and get eighteen. That would be a good
Speaker 2: fake show.
Speaker 3: Creamer and Fister, Yeah, wheat days, how about a little
Speaker 3: afternoon delight with Creamer and Fister?
Speaker 1: I take it, okay, but what they were wow, damn okay,
Speaker 1: But this does you know? Anytime a team does something
Speaker 1: within the rules and they find an advantage, the league
Speaker 1: has to figure out do we need to step in
Speaker 1: and stop it? And that's what the NFL is doing
Speaker 1: on the tush push right or have they decided what
Speaker 1: they're going to do?
Speaker 2: It is very funny because the competition can meet. A
Speaker 2: committee is meeting about certain rule changes. They're also already
Speaker 2: discussing the eighteen game season, which is the committee this
Speaker 2: year again. And so the dreen Bay Packers are the
Speaker 2: team that put that pushed the tush push band. They
Speaker 2: proposed the bill and what do you ban? Uh? The play?
Speaker 2: I know, but like you banned leverage. I understand there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people that do think it's like a
Speaker 2: rugby play, but this does come off as a team
Speaker 2: who just got beaten the playoffs by the Eagles doesn't
Speaker 2: want to deal with this play anymore. But isn't the
Speaker 2: play just a leverage blocking scheme? Right? Couldn't anyone do it? Yes?
Speaker 2: They just they've just mastered it and it's a weapon
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 3: And by the way, didn't it take a step back
Speaker 3: once Kelsey retired? I mean, I know they still ran
Speaker 3: it with some effectiveness, but didn't it lose a little bit?
Speaker 2: They? Yes, it was stopped a couple of times. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's doesn't So here's what they're leaning on. And this
Speaker 2: is a it's a card they can play all right,
Speaker 2: player safety. They're talking to catastrophic neck injuries. But by
Speaker 2: the way, you know, the Eagle center and guard have
Speaker 2: made comments about how they hate that play. Jason Kelsey
Speaker 2: talked about it. He hated that play. He's like, you're
Speaker 2: I'm about to get I'm about to get dog piled. Basically, Okay,
Speaker 2: it's not great. So that's what they're leaning on. The
Speaker 2: they don't know everyone who's like been against it. The
Speaker 2: Packers the one who proposed to Bill, so it is them.
Speaker 2: The Bill's head coach Sean McDermott, who did the weird
Speaker 2: nine to eleven thing a few years ago. He uh
Speaker 2: is also very much against it. Now. What's great, though,
Speaker 2: is the coach for the Eagles, Nick Sirianni, who I
Speaker 2: want to hate but I love what he did, he said,
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore, Shane Steichen who's the coach of the Colts,
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Gannon who's the coach of the Cardinals. They're
Speaker 2: all head coaches because of that play. So they're gonna
Speaker 2: vote for it. I know we got four votes there
Speaker 2: which a little bit of a shots fired at Kellen
Speaker 2: Moore maybe, but I thought that was an interesting thing
Speaker 2: to say. So wait, I'm not sure I follow these guys.
Speaker 2: The coach of the Colts and the Cardinals and now
Speaker 2: the Saints were coaches for the Eagles. They were the
Speaker 2: offensive coordinators there. Oh, so yeah, they better vote for it.
Speaker 2: They won Super bowls because of it.
Speaker 3: Okay, so the coaches get to vote on the competition committeeeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I didn't realize.
Speaker 2: When is the draft? April twenty fourth? God Angel that
Speaker 2: far away? Yeah, three weeks, three weeks away.
Speaker 3: That's uh, that's Sumo weekend, ben Ah. Yes, we'll tell
Speaker 3: you more about that later on. It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell CD's sound System weekend in Dallas.
Speaker 1: I have seen a little more social media about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys trading up for Travis Hunter.
Speaker 2: I'm saying more chatter. Do you think it's real? Well,
Speaker 2: buzz No, I don't think ros don't think they can
Speaker 2: do it. You did tag me in something, though, and
Speaker 2: it was this guy who you're gonna learn everyone's gonna
Speaker 2: know about soon. His name is Tedoroa McMillan. He is
Speaker 2: a wide re super Arizona Cowboys could probably take it twelve.
Speaker 2: He's like six foot five and there's a clip going
Speaker 2: around for him doing interview and he's like eating cereal
Speaker 2: and like CD in an interview right in CD, the
Speaker 2: one who did that, Yeah forget it. Yeah over zoom.
Speaker 2: He's eating cereal interview with two guys and they're asking
Speaker 2: me if you like what I was watching film. He's like, no,
Speaker 2: not at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, we watch We watch film as a
Speaker 1: receiver group, so I don't ever need to watch on
Speaker 1: my own.
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch football. So, man, I was
Speaker 2: curious something. He was like, are you worried?
Speaker 3: And I was like, remember remember when everybody was worried
Speaker 3: because Miles Garrett was into poetry. I mean that certainly
Speaker 3: played out that he's not a player. Remember that coming
Speaker 3: out of A and M It was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if he'd loves football. Man, he spends a lot
Speaker 3: of time with poetry in film.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd have to I'd have to go back and like
Speaker 1: ask players how important it is?
Speaker 2: How about marriers?
Speaker 1: So if you're so talented, you don't ever need to
Speaker 1: watch film?
Speaker 2: Are we in the only industry of people that actually
Speaker 2: like work. I think that's what you're kind of asking
Speaker 2: him your job? Do you really like it? I like
Speaker 2: to go and play the games and stuff. But I'm
Speaker 2: watching the film. I'm good. I'm not worried about because
Speaker 2: he's great and I would take him at twelve and
Speaker 2: what they're going to do, Yeah, that's what they were.
Speaker 2: They're going to do sweet though they could probably use
Speaker 2: a cornerback. Dude, it's fine. Can he also play cornerback?
Speaker 2: I saw a gent comparison. No, he can't. Did you
Speaker 2: see Gent's private workout talk about creamer? Yeah, that dude
Speaker 2: looks like he was made in a laboratory. Well, let
Speaker 2: me just tell you it doesn't sound too private if
Speaker 2: you've seen it. That's fair. NFL people just salivating over
Speaker 2: that guy. I saw a comparison to him that was interesting,
Speaker 2: Ladanian Tomlinson. I was like, Okay, that's the best one
Speaker 2: I've seen. I've always said that it's very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you take the six five receiver over the
Speaker 1: badass running back.
Speaker 2: I gotta have a second wide receiver. I'm find a
Speaker 2: running back approved it last year. Zeke. I mean, are
Speaker 2: you guys worried about Dakota that uh if you I'm
Speaker 2: not worried about him unless well, okay, he can't run
Speaker 2: and he can't move anymore.
Speaker 3: I seriously think if you look at how successful Flacco
Speaker 3: has been in his late thirties and early forties, I
Speaker 3: am completely unconcerned big wide receivers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, that's if you get the big wide receiver
Speaker 2: for him. I think Dak's MVP season really not the MVP,
Speaker 2: but like that Caliver because it'll go to my home.
Speaker 2: He'll be the runner up MVP in the NFC.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'd love I would seriously love it if we
Speaker 3: got that big, bad six or five receiver you're talking
Speaker 3: about and then got like a really good rookie third
Speaker 3: round running back.
Speaker 2: That'd be fun, man.
Speaker 1: That's what they should do. It'd be fun. Will they
Speaker 1: get a quarterback in this draft too?
Speaker 2: They shouldn't do that. There's not any good ones. All right.
Speaker 1: There you have it. There's a Round the Sport coming
Speaker 1: up next. It's the only segment of the day that
Speaker 1: shall to be podcast at the Today Game, followed by
Speaker 1: some Sydney Sweeney action and that happened in Dallas. That's
Speaker 1: all coming your way next. On ninety seven point one
