Speaker 2: world Arizona State. Sorry, the Arizona Cardinals have reached a
Speaker 2: four year, seventy six million dollar extension with tight end
Speaker 2: Trey McBride, making him the highest paid tight end in
Speaker 2: NFL history. So, I don't know this guy from Adam,
Speaker 2: but you're saying he's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a great season. He just doesn't score
Speaker 3: a lot of touchdowns. He gets a lot of receptions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty three million dollars guaranteed set forty four year extension. Yeah,
Speaker 4: one hundred and eleven catches last year, eleven hundred and
Speaker 4: forty six yards. So I mean he was pretty productive
Speaker 4: for a team that you know is just kind of mediocre, Right,
Speaker 4: But you know, the NFL contracts and the TV money
Speaker 4: just continues to roll in and the numbers are just crazy.
Speaker 4: Gino Smith signed a big extension today with Where was
Speaker 4: He at.
Speaker 3: Two year, seventy five million dollars contract for the Raiders.
Speaker 5: Is it all just guaranteed? A lot of it is.
Speaker 3: Most of the contracts I believe.

Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 3: Auburn forward John Broom announced he will have no limitations
Speaker 3: from his elbow injury and will be ready to compete
Speaker 3: in the Final four.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's gonna be a heck of a first game.
Speaker 2: Who's playing first? I think it's I think it's that one.
Speaker 2: I think it's saying it's Auburn Florida, Florida. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: should be a good game. I think that have they
Speaker 2: split the pay three times? I think, well, I'm pulling
Speaker 2: for Florida, but Auburn's played well. They're very vulnerable too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I hope somebody was joking when he got hurt the
Speaker 4: other day. Did you see when he injured his shoulder? Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden he comes back, Yeah,
Speaker 4: hurt his leg and shoulder like one play.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't look at it. I kind of I
Speaker 2: broke my leg a long time ago when I was
Speaker 2: a kid. When I see those things, I look away
Speaker 2: because it just looks paying. It's just looked like unbearable.
Speaker 2: It's like the Joe Thaisman thing terrible, and they played
Speaker 2: it like a loop. It was like, holy crap, So
Speaker 2: I don't want to see it.
Speaker 4: And then he came back, he came back in, and
Speaker 4: somebody was joking here maybe our gray, our old people
Speaker 4: listening understand, but they were.
Speaker 5: Talking about Willis Reid.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, because that was a famous moment when you know,
Speaker 4: he got hurt and he comes walking back in.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The only thing missing from that was a tunnel. That's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what somebody I think. I don't know who
Speaker 4: the announcer was, but it was true.
Speaker 5: And then he hit a shot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he kept holding the elbow, but it was
Speaker 2: his other elbow. It wasn't a shooting elbow.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This so no good good for Auburn. They need him obviously.
Speaker 2: It was like a juju juju Watkins when she wasn't
Speaker 2: available to play against Yukon and how big that was
Speaker 2: to usc to get to the final four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Becker obviously is a heck of a player. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's going to be fine. Tomorrow Women's is it Sunday?

Speaker 5: Right? Yeah, who's two.
Speaker 3: Two record wise? Is Houston?
Speaker 5: They've been he's he must be a heck of a coach.

Speaker 3: falls to oh and six on the season against the
Speaker 3: top two teams in the East, Cleveland and Boston.
Speaker 5: Cleveland Guy Luke Walton's assistant coach at Cleveland.
Speaker 4: It's really been interesting to see like the Cleveland's and
Speaker 4: Detroit's and teams like that, you know, have been nothing
Speaker 4: for such a long time.
Speaker 5: Is refreshing.
Speaker 4: It is kind of refreshing Detroit. You know what a
Speaker 4: history there is in that, in that franchise. It may
Speaker 4: have been terrible for I don't know twenty years, and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden they've kind of popped.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Back when we watched them, they were the rugged. Yeah.

Speaker 4: story here for the last you know, a month or so.
Speaker 4: Is he's kind of approaching this mark. Let's see if
Speaker 4: he can finish it off for the playoffs?
Speaker 5: Was it? Did you follow that? I didn't think anybody
Speaker 5: would get to these records. That was my question.
Speaker 4: Those were those were those records like when you see
Speaker 4: like I don't have in front of me, but the
Speaker 4: assists that he had were will like never get broken.
Speaker 5: Those are kind of like Jerry Rice like records.
Speaker 2: That's why I was going to ask you, you know,
Speaker 2: back would you have thought this impossible?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: I mean it was a period of time, you know,
Speaker 4: you remember this. I mean it was like we had
Speaker 4: Rice going, Jordan going, Gretzky going, Yeah, you know, and
Speaker 4: they were like records that probably never going to get broken.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yukon has added former Georgia Garden Soila's Emery Junior sure
Speaker 3: their backcourt, bolstering their roster with one of the top
Speaker 3: players in the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a few out there. There's a few pretty
Speaker 2: good ones. I wonder where the Saint John's kids is

Speaker 4: That was my my I think we talked about this,
Speaker 4: but I was really high on b Yu and that
Speaker 4: kind of helped me actually in some of the.
Speaker 5: Things I was doing. Yeah, I have all fours still alive.
Speaker 5: I'm finished.
Speaker 2: I'm in number thirty out of four hundred, which I
Speaker 2: have no chance of winning it even with the even
Speaker 2: because it's all chocky, right, I missed. I missed a
Speaker 2: few of your early games where you get a lot
Speaker 2: of the points for the upsets.
Speaker 5: There were very many upsets though.
Speaker 2: Now I went, I went, I went kind of upsets
Speaker 2: because it always happens, and this year it didn't happen.
Speaker 5: East State. Maybe one, uh, there may have been another one.

Speaker 4: any buzzer beaters.

Speaker 5: Right yeah, yeah, I can't remember what game that was now,
Speaker 5: but yeah, m it wasn't Saint John.
Speaker 3: It's a game when they blew the lead.
Speaker 5: Oh it was Texas Tech.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, Kah was.
Speaker 4: How about maybe off track a little bit here, But
Speaker 4: you know, it's as baseball goes with.
Speaker 5: I know we're gonna talk to at Vrosburg in a bit.
Speaker 4: But the nationallygue West is often an amazing You start
Speaker 4: all these teams. The Dodgers are eight, No, the Padres
Speaker 4: are seven, and oh the Giants are what they got
Speaker 4: like one loss?
Speaker 2: I think I haven't paid any attention, although I do
Speaker 2: see the Dodgers, because how can you not avoid the Dodgers?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 9: He did?
Speaker 5: He had to walk up last night last night. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: the nationally West has has been red hot. So were
Speaker 5: you going?
Speaker 4: We're going baseball trip Kansas City, Saint Louis, Heartland.
Speaker 5: Why why those?
Speaker 4: I don't know, because we've been traveling the country over
Speaker 4: the last few years.
Speaker 5: Because you haven't been there. Haven't been there, so that's
Speaker 5: kind of next on the list. I'm sure you've been
Speaker 5: there before. I've been to, like we've talked.
Speaker 4: I've been to k C a couple of times for basketball,
Speaker 4: but Saint Louis very briefly looking forward to. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, it's one of the great baseball towns for sure.
Speaker 4: And uh, Kansas City, they were they were always my rivals.
Speaker 4: I was a big A's fan growing up. So Brett
Speaker 4: at the time that George Brett or even before that,
Speaker 4: you know, like who's.
Speaker 5: The show, Who's the shorts shop? Washington?
Speaker 2: Wasn't Washington with the ul Washington with this toothpick in
Speaker 2: his mouth?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so how do we?
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't remember. I can't remember stuff that's forty
Speaker 2: and above. But that was twelve thirteen. Willie Wilson, wasn't
Speaker 2: he the center field?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was to catch the ball, you know, string
Speaker 2: it would hit like fifteen triples.
Speaker 5: He was super fast, right right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Kansas City and the
Speaker 4: stadium has been there a long time. It still looks
Speaker 4: good on TV, and you know, Bush Stadium will be
Speaker 4: kind of fun to see that in person as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, cool Enjoy is a boys trip, boys trip? Nice?
Speaker 5: Anything else.
Speaker 3: Now that I see?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm not sure anybody want to call please
Speaker 2: do save us again from this?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gino, did you mention that the eighty five eighty
Speaker 4: five million? I mean really, he's had an interesting career,
Speaker 4: Gena Smith with both Raiders.
Speaker 5: You're gonna say, Geno R E, M or whatever?
Speaker 4: Oh no, he's still around. Yeah, how many final fours?
Speaker 4: And they made like a bunch of eighteen or something
Speaker 4: more than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a bunch uh on ESPN as Desert Tour. No,
Speaker 2: so maybe we've heard the last of the transfers from you,
Speaker 2: of A, because you what you had three or four?
Speaker 5: Right? Four with Stefan and Uh and kJ and Henry
Speaker 5: and Martinez. Did you ever see these guys on campus?
Speaker 3: Even though yeah, I saw I saw Carter Bryan at
Speaker 3: the Union. I saw kleb Love a few times. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everyone surrounds them.
Speaker 5: It's like aig entourage. Yeah yeah, okay, anything people leave
Speaker 5: them alone or they not.
Speaker 3: Really during March it was crazy.
Speaker 5: Oh sure, sure the heroes. The heroes, Well, who do
Speaker 5: you think is gonna stay?
Speaker 4: I mean you think Kawaka like they've got here, like
Speaker 4: Jade and Bradley Carter, they have.
Speaker 5: To have I think I think the ones you just
Speaker 5: said will stay. They have to. It'd be a disaster
Speaker 5: if they don't stay. They've already signed this.
Speaker 4: I don't know how to pronounce it, Aristode and Aristodi
Speaker 4: he's already signed. Yeah, he's probably Jay on campus, I
Speaker 4: don't think so. And then Pete and Bryce James and
Speaker 4: that's it.
Speaker 2: And they're waiting for the fourth one if it does happen.
Speaker 2: But if these guys who you say, Bradley.
Speaker 5: Bradley and Waka, Bryant del Orso and previous.
Speaker 2: If if if two of those guys leave, it's a disaster.
Speaker 2: If one of those guys leaves, it's still, you know,
Speaker 2: a hipped because they can't afford to lose anymore. Even
Speaker 2: with the guys that you name there, that's a pretty
Speaker 2: good five. With the guys coming in, I know. But
Speaker 2: the thing is people people don't know it's a pretty
Speaker 2: good five. But guess what, there's other schools out there
Speaker 2: loading up with better fives.
Speaker 5: Exactly. Well, we have a weekuld beat that.
Speaker 2: I hate this term when they talk about if we
Speaker 2: played this way, we could beat anybody. Have you watched
Speaker 2: anybody else play, because if they played the way they
Speaker 2: could play, they're not going to lose so anymore.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Plus, they're in the Big twelve now and those schools
Speaker 4: are's you know, one of them is in the final four.
Speaker 4: Texas Tech almost made the Final four. So there's you know,
Speaker 4: the competition is pretty tough and it's not going to
Speaker 4: be like it was. You know, Oh I gotta get
Speaker 4: do better than you know, Oregon State or Washington State
Speaker 4: or Stanford. Now it's like you got, you know, the
Speaker 4: big boys playing.
Speaker 2: Right, And I think that the it all came out
Speaker 2: in the Wash with the SEC. The best two teams
Speaker 2: didn't make the final four, the best team from the
Speaker 2: Big twelve did make the final four, and the best
Speaker 2: team in the country, Baby of the Duke, is in
Speaker 2: the final four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the only team out of the ACCR. Do you
Speaker 4: think Duke is the best team proved me wrong. I mean,
Speaker 4: they've lost, but she didn't pick it. But she didn't
Speaker 4: pick them right.
Speaker 5: In one of my pools. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think Houston handles them here. I don't think they'll
Speaker 2: win the tournament because you know what, well not because
Speaker 2: I just think that Houston is just one of those
Speaker 2: teams that can get in their way, rough them up,
Speaker 2: and make them play a game that they haven't played
Speaker 2: yet or seen yet physically. Arizona kind of had them
Speaker 2: like that for a moment, and Arizona's not even three
Speaker 2: quarters of the team that Houston is physically physically, and
Speaker 2: they had to rely on Caleb to make it happen.
Speaker 5: And these guys have better players.
Speaker 2: But but I think they're not not so much vulnerable
Speaker 2: that that. I think that because everybody hasn't seen Duke
Speaker 2: all the time, that they you're already built in, built
Speaker 2: in with this bias, and then you see them for
Speaker 2: the first time and the you see him a second
Speaker 2: time says, how is this team gonna lose?
Speaker 5: Well, you've caught them.
Speaker 2: You've caught them at the best moments, not when they
Speaker 2: haven't been at their best moment.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, they only have to win two more games. Right,
Speaker 4: They've been gone quite a streak for a long time,
Speaker 4: so I don't know they're.
Speaker 5: So all for the other teams.
Speaker 2: I got a call from one of my relatives because
Speaker 2: I've had Florida since January. Is, I don't know about
Speaker 2: your fording team. They didn't look good last week? Is
Speaker 2: what does last week have to do with next week?
Speaker 5: True?
Speaker 4: Who they play in the matchups exactly? Exactly who's going

Speaker 14: is you know, the game is getting so offensive. I
Speaker 14: really believe these bats that all these guys are using
Speaker 14: are so hard, They're made so differently than the old bats.
Speaker 14: And I also really truly believe the baseball is wound
Speaker 14: tighter than it's ever been. So obviously, fans want to
Speaker 14: see run scored, and you know, nobody gets too excited
Speaker 14: when they watch a two to one game, so, you know,
Speaker 14: whatever it takes the game. Sadly, I think there's so
Speaker 14: many rule changes in the game that it's kind of
Speaker 14: disappointing to most ex players.
Speaker 5: What did you think?
Speaker 4: What did you think of the ball strike thing that
Speaker 4: they were doing in spring training and how that how
Speaker 4: that played?
Speaker 14: You know, I think it's a good idea. Dave I've
Speaker 14: said this along, you know, a few years ago. I
Speaker 14: never thought I would say it, but I truly believe
Speaker 14: they need to get rid of the home played unpart
Speaker 14: calling the balls and strikes. I know everybody says, you know,
Speaker 14: it's human element. I get that, but looking like Tennis. Now,
Speaker 14: Tennis doesn't use the lines people anymore for the major tournaments.
Speaker 20: They let the computer call the balls.
Speaker 7: In and out.
Speaker 20: I don't know, I never thought i'd say that.
Speaker 14: I truly believe the pictures are the ones that seem
Speaker 14: like they get screwed the most. And you know, like
Speaker 14: like I was just saying, the game has become so offensive,
Speaker 14: and you.
Speaker 21: Know, fans want to see that.
Speaker 20: But you know, I think I just think I'm a traditionalist.
Speaker 14: I love to see a great pitch game like Zach Allen,
Speaker 14: you know, punching out thirteen Yankees yesterday.
Speaker 7: And six and the third.
Speaker 14: That's kind of what's exciting to me is watching a
Speaker 14: pitcher go out there dominating.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I went to a handful of spring training games up
Speaker 4: there in the Phoenix area this winter, and it was
Speaker 4: interesting how that whole thing played out. Most of the
Speaker 4: fans had no idea what was going on, but it
Speaker 4: was handled quickly. Every time, it was over in thirty seconds,
Speaker 4: So in a way.
Speaker 21: I guess, I don't.
Speaker 14: Think it's necessarily a bad thing. Some of the I don't.
Speaker 14: I don't like the rule that where the you know,
Speaker 14: obviously the pitcher can only throw over the first base
Speaker 14: a couple of times. I get why they put a
Speaker 14: runner on second base now an extra innings because they
Speaker 14: don't want to see a you know, a team have
Speaker 14: to go nineteen innings and that that really kills your
Speaker 14: bullpen for the next couple of days. I see why
Speaker 14: they did that, But some of the rule changes I
Speaker 14: don't get.
Speaker 7: I I don't.
Speaker 20: I do think it's makes it interesting.
Speaker 14: When the reliever has to face three batters. I think
Speaker 14: that's not necessarily a bad rule. But I mean, there
Speaker 14: was many times when I came into a game just
Speaker 14: to face a guy and then I'd get him out
Speaker 14: and then I'd be out of game.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. I think I love the game
Speaker 7: the way it was.
Speaker 20: And you know, I think I get why.
Speaker 14: I think a lot of former players are not happy
Speaker 14: with all the real changes.
Speaker 21: That Manfred has done, But again.
Speaker 7: They're trying to keep fans more engaged.
Speaker 2: I guess I was talking to We were talking yesterday
Speaker 2: to Ken Hackemi and one of his players, one of
Speaker 2: his pitchers was a World Series, Little League World Series
Speaker 2: champion from Japan, and he's their closer. Now I won't
Speaker 2: say his name because I can't. Would butcher it like
Speaker 2: I said before, but he's got He said this amazing
Speaker 2: spin rate.
Speaker 5: He could do these things. Did you did you guys
Speaker 5: even think about stuff like this?
Speaker 21: No?
Speaker 7: Heck no.
Speaker 14: And I was talking to Brent s Throhm because when
Speaker 14: he was a pitching coach with the Diamondbacks, we would
Speaker 14: talk about that kind of stuff and he would say that,
Speaker 14: you know, once they get to a certain velocity like
Speaker 14: ninety six ninety seven, and they and that's why these
Speaker 14: guys are pitching up in the strike zone. When they
Speaker 14: can throw that hard, it's really hard for a batter
Speaker 14: to square that ball up. But I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 14: I wasn't a hard thrower. I had to rely on
Speaker 14: keeping the ball down and I was lucky I was
Speaker 14: able to do that.
Speaker 7: I was able to throw.
Speaker 14: Strikes, you know, change speeds. Coach Wing at the university
Speaker 14: taught me how to throw the change up.
Speaker 7: It was a great weapon for me.
Speaker 14: Now when I see a picture you know that has
Speaker 14: a really good change up. I mean, look at this
Speaker 14: kid that left me for the Detroit Tigers, you know,
Speaker 14: the kid that stinky won the cy Young last year.
Speaker 14: He's got a great change up and he throws ninety
Speaker 14: eight miles an hour. Wow, you know, and look at schemes.
Speaker 14: I love watching him pitch because that guy's a picture.
Speaker 14: He's got the great slider. His fastball's got great movement,
Speaker 14: He's got a really good change up, and he pitches
Speaker 14: down in the strike zone. He kind of reminds me
Speaker 14: like of an old Nolan Ryan video, you know, because
Speaker 14: he just he looks like Nolan Ryan.
Speaker 7: Big strong kid.
Speaker 14: He just threw seven I think he threw seven shot out.
Speaker 14: And those are the kind of guys that I really
Speaker 14: enjoy watching pitch.
Speaker 2: Who did you back in the day when you played,
Speaker 2: who did you look at and say, God, I wish
Speaker 2: I was him, or just admire?
Speaker 14: You know, Nolan was a guy that I always admired.
Speaker 14: I always loved to watch Steve Carlton pitch. He had
Speaker 14: the great.
Speaker 7: Slider, you know.
Speaker 14: I just remember he won twenty seven games. I think
Speaker 14: got a team that won sixty five games or something.
Speaker 14: But you know, I I loved watching Vit the Blue
Speaker 14: pitch and and interestingly enough, my major major League debut
Speaker 14: when I was pitching for the for the Padres, we
Speaker 14: played the Giants and guess who I opposed.
Speaker 7: It was Vita Blue.
Speaker 14: So it was pretty cool to look across the dugout
Speaker 14: and actually got a chance to face him.
Speaker 20: I hit a line drive to shortstop off him.
Speaker 14: But it was really kind of cool to see, you know,
Speaker 14: the Vita Blues and the and the Frank Snanas of
Speaker 14: the world and the Steve Carltons, and I was a
Speaker 14: big Giants fan. I loved watching you know, Willie Mays
Speaker 14: was my idol. I always thought I was going to
Speaker 14: be a two way player like show Hey, but you know,
Speaker 14: it's just it's hard to times. I love to watch
Speaker 14: a game that goes quick. I don't want to see
Speaker 14: a three and a half four hour game. I love
Speaker 14: to see the games where the pitcher goes out there.
Speaker 14: And like I went to the U of A. I
Speaker 14: think they were playing Pepperdine and the Kids.
Speaker 5: For the U of A.
Speaker 20: Pitched really he pitched like six shutout any and I think.
Speaker 7: The U of A scored some runs.
Speaker 14: But you know, the U of A looks like they
Speaker 14: got some really really young good pitchers and I think
Speaker 14: they who knows how they'll do it, seems like they've
Speaker 14: done pretty well so far this season.
Speaker 4: You're talking about Vita Blue. I grew up, like I guess,
Speaker 4: a few years before then. I was a Giants fan too,
Speaker 4: watching like one Marischelle pitch. He would throw like, you know,
Speaker 4: like five pitches from five different angles. You never knew
Speaker 4: where he was coming, side arm, you know whatever.
Speaker 2: Well, you had to be that guy, or you had
Speaker 2: to be ed Osburg. You had to be crafty, right,
Speaker 2: if you didn't have the speedball, you had to be crafty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Vita Blue. You know, he came up,
Speaker 4: he was like nineteen years old. He wins MVP and
Speaker 4: Cy Young Award as a rookie, I guess, right. So
Speaker 4: he was a flame thrower right off the bat. But
Speaker 4: that era, you know, like Kenny Holtzman and people like
Speaker 4: that Catfish, he wasn't a flame thrower.
Speaker 5: He was you know, he was so effecing.
Speaker 14: And I always loved the Frank Banana story because he
Speaker 14: was a guy that threw really hard in his career
Speaker 14: and then he hurt his arm, and then he became
Speaker 14: more of like a Tommy John picture where he had
Speaker 14: to throw, you know, keep the ball down in shage speeds.
Speaker 7: You know. I don't know how you.
Speaker 14: Guys feel about the Hall of Fame, but I keep thinking,
Speaker 14: you know, I see the guys that are getting in nowadays,
Speaker 14: and Tommy John is always a guy that I always
Speaker 14: thought should have been a Hall of Fame.
Speaker 20: Pitcher two hundred and eighty eight wins.
Speaker 14: He literally was the first guy that had the surgery
Speaker 14: on his elbow, had the ligory replacement, and you know,
Speaker 14: he won. They said he won one more game I
Speaker 14: think than Sandy Kofax did his whole career after his
Speaker 14: Tommy John surgery. So, I mean, people like that don't
Speaker 14: get the respect. You see the the hard throw they
Speaker 14: get all the respect. But I think Tommy John is
Speaker 14: a guy that they need to put him in the
Speaker 14: Hall of Fame. I don't know how you guys feel
Speaker 14: about Pete Rose. Is he going to get in now
Speaker 14: that he passed away? But that's always a touchy one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the stories.
Speaker 4: We had a guy I was working with the book
Speaker 4: Festival that was just Heirian a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: and there was an author in town who wrote Pete
Speaker 4: rose biography and his he had a chance to actually
Speaker 4: talk to Pete Rose and and wasn't paid for it,
Speaker 4: which he said was pretty rare because everything, you know, everything,
Speaker 4: or didn't have to pay Pete Rose.
Speaker 5: I guess I should say. But he thinks he'll probably
Speaker 5: get in.
Speaker 4: He'll probably get in, and they'll have to just put
Speaker 4: something on the plaque, you know, just explain kind of
Speaker 4: what happened.
Speaker 5: But he thinks he thinks it'll probably happen.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it will.
Speaker 14: And I think I saw something where Trump is going
Speaker 14: to try to do something about it, maybe.
Speaker 20: Get it overturned.
Speaker 14: But you know, and I always felt like little Whittaker,
Speaker 14: he was the double play guy with Alan Trammel and
Speaker 14: Alan Trammell's in and they let it. Really had identical careers,
Speaker 14: I mean, almost the same stats. And Little Whitaker should
Speaker 14: be in the Hall of Fame. Gary should be. And
Speaker 14: obviously some of these guys have that steroid thing hanging
Speaker 14: over their head. But you know, I always thought, you know,
Speaker 14: you there's a few guys, we know a few guys
Speaker 14: that are in there that probably did we know did
Speaker 14: steroids and you know, the very Bonds of the world
Speaker 14: and the Roger Clemens and but I always thought Jeff
Speaker 14: Kent was one of the better hitting basements in baseball.
Speaker 7: And look, that guy's not in.
Speaker 14: I mean, he won an MVP hit two ninety you know,
Speaker 14: had you know, fifteen hundred RBIs and way bait better
Speaker 14: statistics than Ryan Sandberg did. And yet he's not in
Speaker 14: the Hall of Fame. That guy should be in.
Speaker 2: Well, you played with a lot of these guys thrown
Speaker 2: out these great names. Did were you able to be
Speaker 2: a fanboy at all when you played? And I asked,
Speaker 2: because I'm wondering if you have some great signed stuff, memorabilia.
Speaker 5: At home somewhere.
Speaker 14: Oh my goodness, I started collecting stuff. And there's a
Speaker 14: couple guys I really I never got Willy made to
Speaker 14: sign a ball.
Speaker 7: I was able to get Ted Williams to sign a
Speaker 7: ball for my brother.
Speaker 14: I was able to get Kirby Puckett before he passed away.
Speaker 14: I got him, got him to sign a bath for me.
Speaker 14: You know, I have a bat signed by Tony Gwynn,
Speaker 14: who was a teammate.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I did collect some stuff, and you know some guys
Speaker 14: I really I had a chance to meet Joe Damagio
Speaker 14: one day. We were in the Yankee Stadium and they
Speaker 14: had an Old Timers game going on in I just
Speaker 14: remember people saying that Joe was not one of the
Speaker 14: kindest guys. He was kind of surly, and I let
Speaker 14: that bother me and I did not go up to
Speaker 14: him and introduce myself. And then I learned because I
Speaker 14: went up to Ted Williams and we heard the same
Speaker 14: things about Ted Williams, and he was so kind.
Speaker 20: He was so nice to me and I had a conversation.
Speaker 14: With him for a few minutes. So I do have
Speaker 14: some really great signed stuff. I have a funny story
Speaker 14: about Eddie Murray. I went up to him one day
Speaker 14: after they were we had got got done taken batting
Speaker 14: practice and we were playing I think the Orioles and
Speaker 14: and or the Dodgers, I think one of the teams
Speaker 14: and no, no, he was with the Cleveland Indians. And
Speaker 14: I went up to him one day and I said, hey, Eddie,
Speaker 14: I was wondering if you could sign a ball for me,
Speaker 14: and and he kind.
Speaker 7: Of surprised me.
Speaker 14: He said, why, why would you want a ball signed
Speaker 14: by me, and I was like, what do I say?
Speaker 14: And then I said to him, I said, well, you
Speaker 14: and I both have the name ed Eddie, and my
Speaker 14: daughter really loves you because of your name.
Speaker 7: And so he ended up he goes, okay.
Speaker 14: He signed the ball for me, So I do have
Speaker 14: some really great stuff side.
Speaker 5: What were the conditions of that?
Speaker 2: Was it right after about you just kind of after
Speaker 2: about a practice took the ball to him because you're
Speaker 2: an opposing team, right, You're an opposing player.
Speaker 14: Well, a lot of times you'll get you'll get a
Speaker 14: clubhouse kid that'll go up to, you know, an opposing guy,
Speaker 14: take it to him and his clubhouse. You know, lou
Speaker 14: the Great is some of the greatest stuff I have,
Speaker 14: and who is one of the kind of souls that
Speaker 14: I was ever lucky enough to play against with Cal Ripkin.
Speaker 7: I played with his.
Speaker 14: Brother Billy one year and Cal has signed bat for
Speaker 14: me a jersey, He's signed a half for me. He
Speaker 14: signed a lot of baseballs. He was one of the
Speaker 14: kindest souls ever, and you know, just just a great
Speaker 14: ambassador for the game. Obviously, twenty six hundred games in
Speaker 14: a row. You don't see guys even nowadays that play
Speaker 14: one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 21: Kalv was just one of the kind and really really.
Speaker 7: A good guy.
Speaker 5: How did you do against him? Did you face something?
Speaker 14: You know, I was fortunate I got a chance to
Speaker 14: face him a few times. You know, I always was
Speaker 14: asked to come in and get pal Merrow out because
Speaker 14: Palmarow hit either before or after him, and Bobby Bonia
Speaker 14: and our manager Johnny Oates wanted always to try to
Speaker 14: turn the switch hitters around and make.
Speaker 7: Him hit right at it because that was usually the
Speaker 7: week side.
Speaker 14: So I was really lucky enough to have pretty good
Speaker 14: success against me.
Speaker 7: I think he was.
Speaker 14: I think he was one for twelve off me, and
Speaker 14: the only hit he got off me, he hit them
Speaker 14: balls good off me for outs. But he literally had
Speaker 14: a check swing base hit over first base off me,
Speaker 14: and that was the only hit he ever got off me.
Speaker 14: But you know, there was a few guys that owned me.
Speaker 14: I remember I faced Kirby Puckett when I was in
Speaker 14: the Cal League and he was in the call League,
Speaker 14: and I'll never forget this. I faced him four times
Speaker 14: in a game and he hit a home run off me,
Speaker 14: a double in a single and went three for three
Speaker 14: with a walk, and I said to myself after the game,
Speaker 14: I go, this guy is going to be really good.
Speaker 14: And obviously he had a phenomenal career in the big leagues.
Speaker 5: Well go ahead, Oh go ahead. I was gonna say.
Speaker 4: Was were there times when you were in the bullpen
Speaker 4: and you're looking like who's coming up next? And you're thinking, oh, man,
Speaker 4: I don't want to come in. I mean, did it
Speaker 4: ever get to that?
Speaker 21: Oh my, oh my god?
Speaker 14: You know, And yeah, when we're facing the Giants and
Speaker 14: we're facing you know, Barris on the other side, and
Speaker 14: we're facing you know, the.
Speaker 21: Mariners, and they got Ken Griffy Jr.
Speaker 7: In there.
Speaker 14: You know, there's Yeah, I knew that there was always
Speaker 14: somebody in that lineup when I was facing we're facing
Speaker 14: you know, a team like Harold when Harold Baines was
Speaker 14: still playing, and pal Marrow had such a feat another
Speaker 14: guy should be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 7: Five hundred home.
Speaker 14: Runs and three thousand hits, and and pal Marrow was
Speaker 14: the guy that used to he hit really well against
Speaker 14: left handed pitchers, and so he was the guy that
Speaker 14: I had to face. But yeah, I mean I remember
Speaker 14: I remember facing Darryl Strawberry.
Speaker 7: I think the first time. I only faced him a few.
Speaker 14: Times, but he was such an imposing figure. Darryl like
Speaker 14: six foot six, just an incredible physical specimen. And I
Speaker 14: remember facing him in Yankee Stadium and I remember striking
Speaker 14: him out, but I was thinking.
Speaker 7: Man, that is that's the guy that you.
Speaker 14: Do not want to make a mistake and throw one
Speaker 14: over the middle of the place. Because Strawberry put up
Speaker 14: some incredible numbers, it's just kind of a shame that
Speaker 14: he had all the issues that he did, because Darryl
Speaker 14: Strawberry was a Hall of Fame player, if he didn't
Speaker 14: have those issues with substance abuse.
Speaker 2: Was there a time in your career we don't have
Speaker 2: much sound left, but that you kind of because you
Speaker 2: had a great career, you know, he started when you
Speaker 2: were eight, Probably that you doubted yourself.
Speaker 14: You know, guys, I'm so glad that you said that
Speaker 14: because when my father was alive. My dad's been gone
Speaker 14: twenty years, but my dad always used to say to me,
Speaker 14: he said, son, you need to write your life story
Speaker 14: and tell tell it. Tell it to some You have
Speaker 14: an incredible story. And this was even before you know
Speaker 14: some of the things that I went through. There was
Speaker 14: many times in my career guys that I really wanted
Speaker 14: to quit. I ended up going to Italy and playing,
Speaker 14: and I thought I was done and I was able
Speaker 14: to come back from Italy and play in the World
Speaker 14: Series with tomorrowlin is common in Lessorda literally told me
Speaker 14: to my face that I was not good enough. I
Speaker 14: was a role five pick by the Dodgers, and he
Speaker 14: told me the Dodgers did not keep me and they
Speaker 14: waived me, and so I had to go in his
Speaker 14: office and hear him tell me I wasn't good enough,
Speaker 14: and I just told myself, I'm going to use this
Speaker 14: guy's doubting me as fuel as a chip on my shoulder,
Speaker 14: and I did, and it really made me feel good
Speaker 14: because about sinths later, I was in the big leagues
Speaker 14: with the Rangers and Fred Claire came up to me,
Speaker 14: who was their general manager, and he literally apologized and said, Eddie,
Speaker 14: we were wrong.
Speaker 7: You are a really good pitcher.
Speaker 14: You were good enough to pitch in the big leagues
Speaker 14: and we were wrong about you. And that really made
Speaker 14: me feel good that he came up to him. But
Speaker 14: Tommy never would have apologized, But I really respect Fred Claire.
Speaker 14: He apologized to me, and that meant a lot to me.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need that to become to get that chip
Speaker 2: on your shoulder right to kind of fuel you.
Speaker 21: You do, you really do.
Speaker 14: And you see a lot of athletes I think Aaron
Speaker 14: Rodgers when he got didn't get drafted number one, the
Speaker 14: deck drafted Alex Smith. Aaron Rodgers used that his whole
Speaker 14: career kind of has a chip on his shoulder. I
Speaker 14: think I think he still has a chip on his shoulder.
Speaker 20: I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 14: I hope he plays with the Steelers this year and and.
Speaker 7: Brings them back to the problemised plan. We'll see.
Speaker 14: He's got a lot of lot left and he's got
Speaker 14: you know, he's got stuff to prove.
Speaker 7: But it's hard for athletes.
Speaker 14: Just to kind of give it up at the end.
Speaker 14: It's hard to say you're done.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, the end game is one of one of the
Speaker 2: things real quick because I know you and I you
Speaker 2: text me all the time. What's going on? Are we
Speaker 2: going to be okay? Are you okay with what's going
Speaker 2: on with basketball? How do you feel?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 14: I think Tommy's so great at bringing people in. I
Speaker 14: got a chance to meet kJ Lewis and and I'm
Speaker 14: disappointed that he's leaving. I don't know why he leave.
Speaker 14: I don't know if it's a money thing. You know,
Speaker 14: obviously he's probably gonna he would have played a lot
Speaker 14: next year with Caleb Love being gone, I and and
Speaker 14: and big the big guy Henry leave And I'm disappointed.
Speaker 14: But that's what bothers me is the I think money
Speaker 14: has definitely been a negative thing for these college kids.
Speaker 14: I think there's you don't see teams that stay together
Speaker 14: for two or two or three or four years. I mean,
Speaker 14: look at look at Cooper Cooper with with Duke.
Speaker 7: Obviously he's a great player and he's gonna be the NBA.
Speaker 7: He's gonna be a star.
Speaker 14: But you'd like to see the college kids stay. And
Speaker 14: I thought Arizona had some guys like Jared Baylist who left,
Speaker 14: and and look at Aaron Gordon was not an NBA
Speaker 14: player when he left.
Speaker 7: I think guys need to stay.
Speaker 14: And learn in college. I I loved college. It helped
Speaker 14: me realize I wanted to be a ballplayer.
Speaker 7: And I enjoyed the college life.
Speaker 21: It was fun.
Speaker 14: Those are the fun days of my life. Was playing
Speaker 14: for coach Kendall with you.
Speaker 21: They Yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Agree, Yeah, thanks lunch man.
Speaker 7: Be well, Hey, appreciate you guys. You guys, keep up
Speaker 7: the good work.
