Today is Wednesday, July 3rd and PFT we have Playoff P and Joel

and bead teaming up in Philadelphia. NBA free agency, not as fun as it used to be, which is by design. They changed the rules of NBA free agency. So anyone who complains like, Oh, we don't have all this drama that literally is what people were complaining about before with the super teams. But Paul George is the big ticket in the NBA free agency. And this is going to be so, so good when they flame out of the playoffs. I don't know. I think this is what switches all around for Philly. I like this. I like that. You know what? The Sixers are all in baby. Josh Harris is all in. That's what he does.

I like the move. Paul George is a great player. Should be a good compliment to Embiid if he plays well. They got Maxie. That's their big three. So, I'm happy for Max. I was very excited. The news broke at 3 30 in the morning. It actually broke at 11 30 a.m. over lunch overseas here. So I got to see it and then everybody was like, I can't wait till everyone else wakes up about it. I just wanted Max to be awake in that moment to see how giddy he would get and how much he would just squeal. Yeah, it's funny because I actually like to move as well. The Sixers have been building up to this moment to add the third star

And Paul George is a very good player, but it is just very funny that it's Paul George because I just don't see how this is gonna end in anything but tragic heartbreak for Max and You know It's just a perfect setting. I do think they're gonna be very good They do have one of the best big threes if not the best big three in the NBA And you know, it's just the perfect setting. I do think they're going to be very good. They do have one of the best big threes, if not the best big three in the NBA.

But again, it's what Hank, you want to chime in there? I'm one of the best. How old is this guy? Actually, he's 34. He's 34. Let me just jump in real quick, because it's really a big four. It's a big four. They got Embiid.

They got Maxey. They got Paul George. And they no longer have the contract to Tobias Harris. Yeah. Shout out Tobias Harris. I mean, that $50 million for two years from the Pistons. Being in a job, everyone learned how to dribble and shoot. Because being an NBA player this time of year,

you just get reminded like it rocks, getting these kind of contracts. All right, so Max, how are you feeling? What would you like to say about our good friend, Connor Griffin, who said, we have to get to at least one Eastern Conference final? That was the biggest form of loser talk that I've ever seen before in my life. Like you get the biggest signing of the free agency you finally get that that two-way wing player that

Embiid and has been looking for since Jimmy Butler and then you're like if we get to an Eastern Conference finals It's a success. That's bullshit. Ah Hank just with a no ball-knowing take saying that he's old and he's washed He's coming off one of the best years of his career last year He probably doesn't have the four year longevity of his contract to be an elite player, but we got two years It's a two-year window to at least make we have to at least make a finals make a finals play for Eastern conferences or NBA NBA finals beat the final we have to beat the Celtics one of these next two years what if you get playoffs yeah what if you

what if you get to the East what if you get to the NBA finals but the Celtics you don't beat the Celtics on the path is that then an asterix not an asterix it still will feel good but it won't feel at we could beat the we could beat the Celtics in the first round and it it could feel, and it could feel. So what, you guys got the eight seed? No, the Celtics have the eight. We have the one. I love how in Max's wildest dreams,

success is making it to the NBA finals and losing. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. That's just, that's the worst case scenario, best case scenario. I know you said that. That's the worst version of success. Yes.

Yes. I do like to move for the Sixers. They built up for this point. They got, you know, Paul George. It's gonna be a good team. I also love Paul George, especially in this day and age. I feel like Paul George knows that he's just not a number one guy. He's a really really good basketball player but he's

like I want to go try to compete. The Clippers didn't want to give me a fourth year. The Clippers are essentially like not restarting but they their whole failed Kawhi Paul George James Harden thing. They have to figure that out and Paul George is like yeah I'm not a number one guy. I'd like to go play some meaningful basketball. And let's go to Philly where Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will take a lot of the burden off my shoulders. I just gotta be Paul George.

Just gotta be playoff P. Yeah, it is perfect. Like Paul George, a guy whose name is synonymous with playoff success, joining the 76ers. It's funny. It's very funny. It's a great superstar edition for the culture of Philadelphia. But I do think from a basketball standpoint, it's gonna be fun. And also you just mentioned like James Harden, that whole experiment out there, James Harden hates, hates the sixers front office. And apparently, Paul George was like, Yeah, I'm not gonna pay any attention attention to what you say Yeah, you're probably you're probably the problem James

I I've seen enough close up in my own two eyes to know that maybe I should not trust what you're saying about them Yes. Yes. Okay. So Paul George was the big ticket Again, it is it's funny because you'd have seen people complain like oh this NBA free free agency sucks That was the whole point that you can't create. It's harder to create super teams now. And you don't have the crazy movement every MBA free agency. Other big moves, a couple, I have a couple I want to talk about. One, Stan Cronke strikes again, KCP going to the magic and Stan Cronkey unwilling to pay luxury tax and build like when if you're going to have a time when you should pay extra money

and pay taxes and like just throw everything in, wouldn't it be when you have the three time MVP in the prime of his career? But nope, that's just not what the nuggets are going to do. And I feel like that was a huge, that's one of those ones that we're going to look at somewhere mid season and be like, oh shit, the nuggets just, they're kind of missing a guy and it's KCP. And it's also great for the magic. The magic showed a little light in the playoff. I think it's a great move for them. Yeah, that's that's just Stan Cronkite being Stan Cronkite, but they might

just look at the rest of their team and say like, I don't know, maybe we've got maybe we've got the guys that we don't need them necessarily. And he's he doesn't want to pay the taxes. The Boston Celtics don't give a fuck about taxes. Now and Celtics are paying everybody and their contracts. I read a stat online that says that when the current set of contracts is over, they will have paid more in luxury than the Clippers have paid in the entire existence of the franchise. Whoa. And the Celtics, Hank, now are you going to

buy them? What's going on? Maybe if you can dunk, you'll have a little seed investment on your way to buying the Celtics They're for sale now. Yeah, I'm forming a group. I'm trying to get a raise some capital But yeah, I mean they're selling high I guess like kind of makes sense It's gonna be you know, probably the most expensive NBA franchise ever sold So I'm gonna see what I can do. We should oh you guys want to throw down? No, I'm just thinking about we're going to be listen. Come on. We're gonna I'll give you if you don't call give you $10,000 and that will go towards it. Hank. Well, we're what? That's my money, though, after I don't. Right. But that's you can use that towards that towards buying the Celtics. Hank, we're going to Tahoe next week to do a bunch of interviews. I think you need to get a little elevator pitch and every single rich athlete we talk to at the end of the interview, you give them a quick two minute pitch on why

they should invest in Hank Lockwood LLC that is going to eventually buy the Celtics. Yeah, I'm down. I mean, I know KG, KG was super, like he was involved a few years ago and trying to, in a group, trying to get involved with the Timberwolves and was so fucking pissed when he got passed over or whatever.

So he's at the top of the list, but yeah, I'm down to make a run and just we need to raise like six billion dollars I think. I want it to be your group though I don't want you to join another group I want it to be Hank's group that he brings everyone together and then you get the sweat equity so you don't even have to put a bunch of money in you just you're the one who connected all these people. Yeah I'll raise five point nine nine nine nine nine billion and then I'll throw down like all these people. Yeah. I'll raise 5.99999 billion and then

I'll throw down like 10 K. Yeah. Yeah. And then you'll dunk and you'll throw down 20. Yeah. Talk to Dave. I'm sure Dave would be down to get involved in the Hank Lockwood enterprise. Yeah. Dave's Dave studies. He just, he's 4.9 billion short. It's so funny how like the levels to rich guy there is and like owning a, uh, NBA or NFL franchise, the levels to rich guy are just so obscene, uh, and out of this world that it's not even, you know, you could, Hank, you could talk to a thousand people and it would still get you not even like one, like 10, thousandth of the way

there. The net worth of the entire and it's all celebrities and rich athletes and actors and stuff and I don't think you could combine all of their net worth and be like a fifth of the way there. Yeah, that's crazy. Like Dave's the richest guy any of us know and he could liquidate all his assets and maybe own like one one thousandth of the team That's why banks exist Thank you just go to a bank and ask him for a loan to buy the Celtic see what they say

offered rumors that they're gonna a casino is gonna buy it and try and rebuild the stadium somewhere else which would be The craziest move in the history of Boston, but would it be a casino stadium? Well, there's on there already is a casino like, you know, in the Charleston Everett area. So like, yeah, probably. But that would be moving it away from the garden would be bad, bad, bad. Kind of rock somebody bad juju and then moved it out of Boston. Yeah, no, that would be that would be bad. Wouldn't it be awesome though, if someone actually made a casino stadium?

So it was just like live tellers at your seat? You could play blackjack in the middle of timeouts and stuff? Isn't that the next wave? Yeah. Sounds like a bad sports town to me. This is actually the downfall of the Celtics though. Because they're just paying, this owner is just paying everyone a billion dollars and then he's like someone else deal with it. Someone else with big money who doesn't actually care about max max you don't know you don't know this is going you don't know this is going bro learn finance learn finance learn assets learn fucking value max they max locked up their long-term assets okay yeah yeah but it's also very relatable to just like spend a bunch of

money on future contracts and then be like yeah I actually don't want to pay it I just want to give them the guy giving them the contract is a fun part. And now you get all the team, I guess. You get all the credit, you get the handshake and be like, yeah, I paid you that money. But yeah, I max, um, unfortunately for you, this take that you have right now, you're lumped in with the Darren Revelles of the world because he said the same thing. I don't ever understand that. Why wouldn't you, if you own, if you're

trying to buy a team and they're like, Hey, okay. Yeah. $300 million to Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, but you literally have your two best players locked up for the next whatever five, six years. That's the team you want to buy. Learn value. There's like 20 of them. They, they, they're, they're paying the whole team 200 million. Derek White has I mean shout to Derek White. He resigned on a fantastic deal. I think Tyrus Maxxie gets paid like 80 million dollars more. He's not better. But yet Paul George is 45. Did you see did you see I saw I saw one of those fun little graphics that was like Paul George's

playoff numbers this year and Derek White's playoff numbers this year. Derek White cleared them by far. That is fun. Yeah, no, that's great. That's very cool. No, no, I'm excited. Get your celebration in now, Henry. I did.

I have. Celtics are downfalling. He literally did. Yeah, no. No, keep riding high, buddy. I will. Things are going downhill. I will.

Okay, fine. Things are going downhill. You know what? Fine. I hope you enjoy your championship, Hank. Will things are going downhill? Okay, things are going down. No fun Championship Hank it's actually gonna be not as good for you in a couple years. Yeah, I like you guys sitting next to each other It's a good vibe Okay, other other and maybe I had a question actually for for Max Max You're sitting next to Hank right now who by the way still looks great with his hair growing back in It's a crime that that your punishment turned into something that you can actually use bald beautiful PFT. Join me What if the work the Sixers win the championship next year with Paul George you shave that head?

Yeah, yes, okay nice, okay nice nice What about the play uh, play in turn or whatever the fuck the play in tournament season? Uh, no. And soul patch. Soul patch. You know, hi burns only the, the other big news was, uh, clay Thompson done with the warriors, which we all knew now on the mass I'm buying clay's stock. I feel like his ending at the Warriors was kind of sad, but I think he's going to be, I think you're going to get like a rejuvenated Klay Thompson hitting wide open threes because Luca is going to take all the pressure off him. I know Steph obviously did the same, but I'm buying Klay Thompson. I don't think this is the

end of Klay Thompson. Everyone has written him off. I'm not going to write him off. Yeah, I mean he's still a great catch and shoot shooter. He didn't do that well at the end of the season this year. What, he finished like 0 for 10 in his last game? He had a bad last game. He still shot like 39% from three. I also saw this awesome thread of a Warriors fan who I think most Warriors fans appreciate everything Klay Thompson did even though it got weird at the end and the guy he tours he tours ACL and his Achilles at like whatever it was you know 33 or something he he had catastrophic

injuries that that definitely slowed him down but there was, there was a thread that had like all the highlights of clay Thompson. And one of them was clay Thompson scores 60 points on 14 dribbles. And that's maybe the coolest that I've ever seen. Yeah. I think we, when we talked to Kurt Goldsberry, one time we asked him about that and he has the lowest dribble per point ratio in the, in the NBA. He just catch and shoot, catch and shoot. And he'll be in a great spot for that in Dallas. And it's funny cause you're starting to see a little bit of like the post-mortem on Clay come out. I saw a report saying that he didn't get as much of the publicity like

Draymond, but he was he was just as messy behind the scenes, but in his Clay Thompson way, I can guarantee that Clay Thompson was not as messy as Draymond Green. There's somebody probably Draymond is telling people in the media, like, actually, he's kind of a dick the the the the the the the

the the fandom. Well, you won four championships. He won four championships. I actually think you could make the argument and maybe we could do Mount Rushmore of it later this summer. I think you could make the argument that Jordan pool contract was the worst contract ever given out in all of sports, not just because of the money given to Jordan pool, but what it did to the rest of the team, because that was like clay, watching that dream on watching that, that feels like the point. Obviously they want a title still after that, but I don't know. Did they win the title? No,

they gave it to them after they won the title, right? I care. I don't remember the year that they gave it to them. I do know. It's a, it's a terrible contract. Um, but it like screwed up the whole vibes of everything. Yeah. I think it was right around then. I think it might've been the year of or the year directly after. Uh, but that might be the worst contract of all time. It's funny to say that he was almost as bad as Draymond.

You just didn't hear about the stuff and the stuff that he did didn't make as big of like a splash as, as Draymond. Yeah, no shit. That's because Draymond actually kind of lunatic, but you don't need to lump clay in there just because you're upset that he's leaving. He gets a tribute video. They get a tribute video of Clay. Yes, agreed. All right. So it was 2021 was the year they won.

And then he got his contract a year later, I believe. So, yeah, screwed up everything. OK, I had two other stories I wanted to hit real quick PFT. When I have something quick on the on the clay Thompson thing. I don't know if you guys seen I feel bad for him because he probably can't go on Instagram, the NBA Instagram, no matter what they post, because obviously, you know, they posted a bunch of Celtic stuff. I see the post click in the comments comments every single post they have it just says

People forget or like but this you know reminds you of that clay Thompson went over 10 elimination game Oh, that's every single comment on every single post is Don't forget that clay Thompson went on 10 and you know what you know what I'll stand in front of clay for this People should change that and just say people forget big cat bet the over on Clay Thompson's points in that game. I'll, I, that was, you know, I'll take, I'll take the bullets for Clay. I put too much pressure on him. You know what it is? Is people just trying to relive the greatness of people forget the Golden State Warriors blew with three, one lead in the NBA finals. You're absolutely right. That moment will come back. You're trying to make it happen again. Let it go. It was

great. You're trying to make fetch happen. All right. The other two stories I had LeBron as I don't think there's ever been a player that has held a franchise hostage more than LeBron has the Lakers hostage right now. And it's maybe my favorite ongoing thing that he's pretending that isn't existing. And listen, the LeBron, the bronze sexuals are listening right now. I'm not saying anything against LeBron the player. He hired JJ Reddick and said that he had nothing to do with it, even though he did a four-month interview about their basketball philosophy.

He's drafted Brawny and now he's saying he'll take less money if they can sign someone good, which I don't even know what that means because it's up to LeBron. But it's just so fucking funny because he's got this. He basically is the Lakers. He's the once proud Los Angeles Lakers are just the LeBron Lakers at this point. It would rock if he just decided not to sign that contract extension and just sign somewhere else and maybe draft his son. this point. It would rock if he just decided not to sign that contract extension and just sign somewhere else and made you draft his son. That's what I'm hoping happened. What

does it mean? Like we need to get another good player. How many good players are out there just waiting to be signed right now? Playoff piece gone. KCP is gone. Maybe his other brother or maybe his other son, the other son. Yeah. Donovan Mitchell just signed with the calves, which I think the Cavs had to do that. Uh, that's like a beware though of how these things always work out. I mean, the balls are, are, are showing it when they're, they're trying to get rid of Zach Levine and they have to send a pick with him. Um, so yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what it means, but I just, I love the, I love the fact that he's holding everyone Hostage here Hank. What was that face? I ordered food in my fucking apartment. Oh, no Damn hungry, too. All right, whatever. I I do that twice a week. It's nobody do it all the time either one I did it after we came back from beer games. I ordered three orders To the hotel we were staying at nashville. was like, why the fuck is this not getting delivered? They're scamming me. And then I realized I just kept on smashing reorder to the hotel. We stayed at that for one night. Yeah. So that was fun. Max. Remember when you ordered all that Taco Bell to your girlfriend's place?

Yeah, that was, that was a good guy. Moved by me. That was a good guy. Move. Yeah, that was a good guy move by me. That was a good guy. Uh, the last story I had was Hank, would you like to, we, we touched on it very briefly before we went to break, but the Kyle Phil Powski story is crazy. Would you like to talk about this at all? Hank is a noted Duke fan. I don't, I don't even understand how Duke was able to keep this under wraps the way they did for the last two years. It's nuts. What does Duke have to do with it? It's a Kyle Filipowski problem. He got groomed. What is Duke supposed to do about that? You're supposed to meddle in the lives of your players?

People have all types of crazy family shit going on in every team. And like, do you think he told them? Like, do you think, do you think they knew everything? I think they knew everything how, because she's literally, it's pretty clear that she's there a hundred percent of the time she was in the office. Kyle Filippowski was in the office working out and she was there. I obviously didn't know the story. I would have... That was a crazy revelation. I would have literally taken out a whistle and then teed them both up and said, hey,

Duke, do something. I mean, it's... I'm proud Duke. I think it's more that the family was telling Duke about this because the family was trying to get everyone to stop this and they were telling everyone. What is Duke supposed to do though? Like riddle me that.

Stop letting grooming happen, Hank. Just say stop. And what if he says I love her, which is obviously what he's saying. No you don't. Stop it. Then you say you don't love her. You've been brainwashed right now. Yeah. You don't know what love is. Yeah. Hey, stop it right now.

I do think I, the internet as a whole shares some blame in this because the internet, you have to, you have to know this before draft day, right? You have to be on this, the Instagram posts, they were public, they've been up, but it took the internet four years too long, three years too long to figure this out and put it out there for us to see. I don't like that part of it. That shows that we're between that and the

clay Thompson thing. We're slacking online right now. I'd like to see a stepped back up. Well, I agree. Pft. It also could have easily been John Shire just saying stop it right now. And he never did that. His parents clearly did that. He clearly wasn't going to listen. Hank, they clearly didn't say it strong enough. They cared more about getting points and rebounds out of the guy than his own mental well-being.

The brotherhood means nothing. The brotherhood is essentially the brotherhood until you get groomed as a high schooler and then get snatched up and then have your girlfriend ex-communicate your family. Then guess what? The brotherhood doesn't count. I thought the brotherhood counted for something.

In my day, we used to say bros before hoes. And it looks like that day's over. Yeah, but if you're- Not a duke. Everyone knows a like that day's over. Yeah. Yeah, but if you're not a duke. Everyone knows a guy that's caught up in a relationship that everyone else knows that they shouldn't be in, but they don't want to listen. When he's when you're 17 and she's 26, Hank?

I mean, obviously, it's a muddy waters, but it's like. Is it? Is it muddy? Or is it crystal clear? It's fucked up by the girl It's grooming and it's not okay about what the girl did but when you're 17 hooking up with an older girl is cool factor fiction Hank Hank this is now your money your waters right now. I'm just saying

Muddy no, I'm saying it's wrong by her but like from his perspective. It's like yeah like you don't obviously He didn't realize he was being groomed but like again it's like you know that when when teachers hook up with students like no I'm saying I'm saying that is fucked up but when you're a kid you guys don't want to hook up with any of your teachers when you're a kid you guys weren't like oh my god it'd be so cool when our brains weren't developed that's what I'm saying his brain wasn't developed I'm not I'm saying everything that she did is wrong groomer

But like again, whatever it is what it is downfall of Hank starting now Right. All right, I'm done Whatever cancel me Well Hank I don't think you'd have any idea what it's like to hook up with a girl who's like nine years older than you. No, exactly. Hank, this is bad. The Brotherhood is in a bad spot. They didn't stop it, man. They were at the office and you didn't do shit, Big Cat.

If I had known I would have teed him up, I already said that! So John Chyre didn't know either? Yes, he did! How do you know that. How do you know that? How do you know that? His family was asking him for help. The girlfriend was everywhere. His family and said they DMed you and you didn't do shit about it. No, they didn't. They never DM me. If they DM me, I would have whistleblown faster than you could. You think me, me, if I had a chance to take down Duke, they were in this office and you did nothing.

I would, I wish I had known. Really sad. It's, it's really sad that this unfortunate story is taking away from what should be the headline for Cal. Which is the remarkable recovery that he made from his leg injury after they stormed the court against him. That's what we should be. We should be celebrating modern medicine instead of having to, having to go to,

to catch a predator.com to look at pictures of his girlfriend. Hank, it's just really sad. The Brotherhood has let everyone down. I just want any future Duke guys to know that if you go there, they're listen, they all they care about is your points and rebounds. They don't care about the human being. Fact. Yeah, we'll cut this. We'll cut this. Okay, let's do hot seat cool throne.'s brought to you by our friends at game time Did you know that you can get tickets to? Cubs Phillies this week max. How much does it get in price?

Because I love the Phils. Sorry, I love the Phils. And I saw them last night. It was super embarrassing. Wait. Oh, yeah. What happened there? I just saw them on the river walk, and I got excited.

I was like, and I started clapping. I was like, let's go Phils,'s boys and then I took like five steps back and I was like why did I do that. That was so stupid. Why did you say you should have just said I have a podcast. No no that's that's way worse. No way. We're not way worse. Come on. No I do that all the time. You just walk down the street screaming at everybody. I have a podcast. Ask me about, ask me about my podcast. Okay. Your cool thrown Hank. My cool throw is a hot to a girl. Oh, I had that as well. Yeah. It was in Nashville. Uh, she's sung revival on stage with Zach Brian.

And she did an interview with Bri, our coworker, uh, backstage that has like a million views, I think in one day. Yeah. On also, yeah. Also led us to one of the funniest exchanges on Twitter. Laura Loomer, who you're gonna have to help me. Pft. What is she? I don't know. I don't know what she is. She's on Twitter. She's a user. Okay. All right. All right. Oh, yeah. She's investigative journalism. She said, watch the degenerate hawk to a girl whose real name is Haley. Well, she is anti Trump in her first interview since going viral.

She was asked about Donald Trump. She said, it's a no for me. Stop giving skanks attention. The girl was made famous for talking about spitting on a penis during oral sex. She is not to be taken seriously. No self-respecting woman goes around talking about spitting on penises. She clearly is a moron and behaves like white trash. Typical Biden supporter. Next.

And then Bill Ackman replied, Laura, you got this one wrong. That was not the question. She was asked and I don't think you can determine her politics from the clip. You might want to review it again. And Laura Loomer responded, I stand corrected. Upon further review, It turns out that she was only talking about whether she would perform fellatio on President Trump.

Her plans for election day remain unclear. Yeah, so we'll see. We're going to wait for all the facts to come out before determining whether or not she's good. She has, I guarantee Well, the segment from Bree, like we should maybe incorporate that into the show. Just because every girl wants to be like, well, I saw the video.

I got to try the hoctua. Yeah. Like, is it just hoctua or no? That was the segment. That's great. Hoctua or no? Would you blow this person or not? It's a no for me.

For me, it's the Trump. And then people are like, this is crazy. She's a liberal. Oh, man. That actually, it's very classy of her to be like, no, I wouldn crazy. She's a liberal. Oh man, that actually it's very classy of her to be like, no, I wouldn't talk to her. The president. That's a nice thing to do. Yeah. It's a married man. Yeah. Meet the office. Uh, okay. That's also a little move, right? That's what the Dems do. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Pft. Hawk 2 of the president. I don't know if there's. Yeah, I guess Monica Lewinsky. Yeah. Is Hawk. The only proof of Hawk 2 of the president.

With the great Hawk 2. Yeah. Yeah. Is that's a big question that the international debate is Hawk 2 a lib or a Republican move? It's woke. Yeah. Okay. PFT your hot seat, cool. Tron. Oh, my hot seat is Greg Burrhalter coach to the U S men's national team.

We put them on the hot seat. It feels like months ago. Feels like years ago. It feels like two years ago is on the hot seat, but the USA they lost to Uruguay. One nothing. They're out of the Copa America. They were the host country. They had the what's the opposite of the group of death, whatever that is.

That's, that's what we were in. And we stunk. We stucked, uh, our players didn't play that well, but our coaching stunk. And so now he's got to be fired. We got to fire Greg. If we're not going to fire him now, just might as well give up on the world cup. I have a question for you, PFT. Now I agree that Greg Burrhalter should be fired and I don't really have any basis besides everyone else is saying it. So I'm like, fine, fuck it.

If there's a picket for, uh, you know, if we're all, if we're all grabbing our, our pitch forks for coach, I'm in, is there a chance we just suck at soccer? We shouldn't though. Yes, right now we do suck. Yes. at this moment we suck at soccer, but our players are good. They play on the best teams in the world. Okay, but I was watching that whole game last night and we had to win and we basically just didn't try to score. We looked like shit. Again, this could be burr halter, but

then I was looking it up today. Essentially us men's soccer team has told everyone this is a golden generation cause we can beat Mexico. We don't beat anyone else. We just beat Mexico and Mexico kind of stinks now. So that's the bar for it's been the bar for us soccer for a long time. It's like, if you can dominate your rival, then it's all good. If you can, if you can beat them in important games, then it feels like you've got a good team, which is a decent thing to have as like your mark of whether or not your team's good. If Mexico is good, but Mexico hasn't been good, right? Beating them. It's not the same as he used to eat. So yeah, he's been skating by basically on having teams like only, you know, they

made it out of the world cup group, which was nice. I guess. Um, you kind of had to do that. We did win that zero, zero draw against England, which was huge for us. And then we had, we won the one, one draw against Brazil, which is also massive. But besides those two wins that were actually draws, Greg hasn't done shit except beat Mexico. That's the only thing that he does. The players beat your rival, but the players too have to take some onus. No, the, the, I saw Justin Moran tweeted out that, um, in the last six years, five years, if you take out our wins against Mexico, the best win that the US men's national team has is over Iran.

One, nothing. Yeah. Yeah. We don't, we, we, we think we don't score goals. We also just don't score goals. It's like, it's also just a terrible product to watch. We don't score goals and we don't even create chances to score goals. Yeah. We're not aggressive enough. We put in an extra defender when we lost the guy to a red card because we're just trying to get a tie. We love playing for ties and it's bullshit and it sucks. And it takes the fun of watching sports when the team that you cheer for doesn't even try to score. And in the game last night, did you see what Greg did?

He was watching the score of the bolivia panama game and telling the guys on the field like hey there's scores one one right now we're okay play for a draw it's loser talk that's loser mentality greg needs to be out i don't know who we can get i've heard people say clop he's good we'd have to pay him a ton of money good pay him pay him all the money i I also, I thought about maybe getting that German coach. Remember the one that uses to take his hand down his pants and, and smell it on the sidelines. Remember that dude? Yeah. He was cool. The German coach, the one who was like his own boogers on the sideline. I'll

take him. I'll take the booger eater. I don't know. I just, I'm starting to think that, um, as bad as burr halter is again, everyone has told me he's terrible. So I'll agree with everyone on this because I don't know enough about soccer. At some point, it's also the players know. Yeah, they haven't played well as a team at all. But that's the thing. Like they are good players who play on good teams overseas. But are they? If they were good, we would win. Yeah, if they were good, we would win. Yeah. If they were

good, we beat Panama. No, you can have a good team. You can have a team of good players that suck playing as a team. It's possible. So then they Greg, but so then they, but I don't know how good are the players. I feel like everyone just tells us that this is the best players that we've ever had. And yet if you look at it, it's like 20 years ago, we are 30 years ago, we accomplished way more. So the players that we have right now are playing at a higher level internationally than we've ever had before in this country. And that's why you can't really debate that because it's just fact. But the team, the team, they suck ass. They stink. They're all taking their take responsibility.

Yeah, I'm just I'm more just I want her halter out. But maybe we stink at soccer. Story developing. We do right? Yeah. Right now. Right now we do stink at soccer, but we have good players. And that's what makes it so frustrating is like the world cup in two years should be awesome. It should be so much fun for us fans and bandwagon fans. That's the best time to join the bandwag is at the world cup and just blindly support your country, but it's going to suck if we have a team that's good on

paper and can't do shit like this was the easiest draw for us. We still couldn't do anything with it. Yeah. I just, I keep getting stuck on like the on paper and then as a team, they just never have done anything. Well, yeah, they're, they're young. They've only played the show. I like, have we done anything? We win these random ass fucking, we got it. We got a cup in like the summer Mexico. Oh yeah. we won the gold cup. We beat Mexico. That's it. We just beat Mexico. We beat teams by tying them. That's what this iteration of the team has done. They're good players, but they suck. They

suck right now. The team sucks. There's no you can't sugarcoat that US soccer sucks ass right now. OK, your cool throne. My cool throne is just dads asking if those are gunshots or fireworks. I like that week for that. Yeah, huge week for that. You're going to hear a lot of pops and you get a lot of dads being like, is that was that gunshots?

No, it's fireworks. It's the 4th of July. Yeah, that that is a fun little fun wrinkle that we have coming up. All right. My hot seat is something that we have all kind of forgotten, but it's going to happen on Thursday. America's on the hot seat because it just dawned on me again

that Joey Chesa is not competing. That fucking sucks. Yeah, and it's not going to hit the same. I know he's doing the competition against Kobayashi, but I need that on the fourth. I think he's doing one on the fourth against some troops. It just I'm going to wake up on the fourth and I just want to give everyone like a pre-warning because the big news happened what three weeks ago. And now we're right on the cusp of the fourth of July.

One of the best holidays we have and one of the things that makes it the best holidays is just not going to be there. And I think we all just need to be like ready for it because it's going to suck beyond belief. Yeah. That, you know, it'd be awesome if, if the Hawk two real competed in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Yeah. That would add a fun little wrinkle to it or just spit on the hot dogs before you see if it works then. Yeah. Okay, my cool throne is I have to real quick. I just want to say it's it's early. But I actually think the Bulls and

the Blackhawks are both doing good things because they're actually coming to grips with the fact that they're not competing for championships and making the correct moves. The Blackhawks signed a bunch of guys on a one year deal to try to get competitive and then not lock anyone up for a long term build around the young core. And the Bulls are trying to get rid of Zach Levine, not going to re-sign to Marjorie Rosen, who I love, but maybe there's actually some hope. This will all probably blow up in my face because there is, you know, it's still Jerry

Reinstorf who is going to be like, Hey, I want to win 40 games and get to the play and let's figure out a way. They fucked up so bad. Andre Drummond went to the Sixers. They could have traded him for picks at the deadline. Caruso, same thing. Both guys gone from the team. And then my other cool throne is did you guys see this guy on power slap name? I think his name is

Butterball. Is that his name? Butterball? He's this little short guy who just finally came over to America and he just kicks the shit out of guys and power slop slap. Um I don't know. Power slap. It's a weird sport but I think this guy has the it factor. Yeah. So, power slap to powerslap, it's a weird sport, but I think this guy has the it factor. Yeah, so powerslap, to my knowledge, it only exists as clips that we watch online. I've never seen a stream of powerslap. I can't imagine going to a powerslap event sober.

That to me seems like that would be just a crazy thing to do. It's like going to Dart sober. But I like the clips. The clips are fun. Yeah, the clips are very, very fun. What, what is this guy's name? Oh no, dumpling. His name's dumpling Siberian farmer named dumpling. I don't know why I said butter. I was thinking butter bean. Uh, and I guess because he's shorter, he's got an advantage.

So PFD, this might be your sport. Cause I guess when you're going, when you're going up on someone, it's, it's easier to concuss them, uh, than when you're, when you're slapping down on someone. So if somebody's slapping down on me, it's easier for me to absorb that blow. Correct. And, and dumpling, I've never been knocked out. Yeah. Dumpling is able to slap up and just fucking knock dudes out. I might have a shot.

Pretty awesome. OK, maybe we do that live stream. Power slap the two guys that finish in last place in Mount Rushmore. I hate that we're going to bring Mount Rushmore back on Monday. Like I said, we're on vacation this week. Thank you, everyone who tuned in on Monday for Dungeons and Dragons. We love doing those shows, do them a couple times a year. But yeah, this is our one kind of vacation week of the year. So there's no show Friday.

We're back on Monday in studio with Joe Burrow and Mount Rushmore. Let's though kick it to ourselves. We have Gunnar Henderson and our Dingers Only draft, which listen, if you're a seam head, prepare to get triggered because yeah, we will trigger some people, but we know ball now and the league is going to officially start on July 4th. That's when the home runs start counting. And the Dingers Only league was meant to make us to force us to start watching ball in these early days of the

season. And you know what? It was better than last time. It the league was meant to make us Well, let's kick it to ourselves. Ooh. OK, we now welcome on a very special guest. So we are about to draft our Dingers-only league. And we thought, why not have one of the best home run hitters in all of baseball on the show? It is Baltimore Orioles shortstop, Phenom, my personal pick for MVP, best friends with Stephen Che, Gunnar Henderson. Gunnar, thank you for joining us. Let's start here. We're going to draft these teams for the Dingers Only League. Do you want to make your pitch to everyone who's going to be drafting on

why you should be a high draft pick, uh, in a league that only counts home runs. Yeah. Uh, I mean, shoot, I'm at the ballpark every day. I'm trying to put in the work. Um, so, you know, put on for the Dinger league. I've heard that it's a very prestigious league. So, uh, honored to be considered part of it. And, you know, um, yeah, just trying to do my part to help whoever gets me picked. So just know you're getting 110% effort. I like that. Humility is important for me when I'm selecting my team. Another thing that's very important for me personally is each person's walk-up song when they come up to play. I want to know that my guy is stepping up there with the blood pumping, heart rate going, preferably a good nice clean rock and roll song, old school. So I need to know what's your walk up song. Yeah, I did have a rock and roll song. It was kickstart my heart last year, but transitioned into the sweet escape by Gwen Stefani. And I get to get the crowd going. You get to get to hear them cheering on. So yeah, I do enjoy my rock and roll with this one seems to get the crowd involved. I like that one. Gwen Stefani, you can never go wrong with her. How about this, Gunnar?

Let's say situational baseball, it's late in the game and you got first and second and you may be doing a hit and run and that's called in and you're just trying to get some contact, get the guys moving over. Will you in the back of your head be like, but big cat drafted me and Dingers only, and we need a long ball here. What kind of commitment are you going to give pitch me to draft you? I mean, I have the hit and run is they, uh, all you gotta do is put the bat on the ball, but it didn't say that it had to be not in the air. So true. That's my take Okay

Now what about if it's a three and oh count and you got the green light and a pitch comes in Let's say let's say the pitcher grooves a fastball, but it's up in the zone It's looking like it might be ball for but you know that you can hit the shit out of it Are you still gonna take a cut if I got the green light out? I might I'm gonna let something rip at it Okay. All right. I appreciate that How much do you hate getting walked? Yeah, I've seen the videos where people think that I really hate walking but I actually really enjoy walking so I know that I know that doesn, uh, the Dingers only league, but, um, yeah, I do enjoy walking

a little to help the guy behind me get some, get some RBI. You're lying because we have seen the videos and you throw your bat and disgust and you're upset that you're walking. I like that you're up there to hit. So you, like, I know that it's good. A walk is good as a hit. That's what they say, but you want to hit, right? Yeah. I mean, going up there, uh, wanting to do some damage, but, uh, yeah, I guess it gets walks are just as good as hits. So, um, I mean, obviously I guess your one one position is to get a hit, but if they don't throw your strike, then don't, don't strike out and chase stuff. So yeah, I think, I think in theory you understand that walks are good.

But as it's happening to you, you're like, I really wish I could hit a tater. Yeah, I mean, obviously, like I said, a hit is obviously the one-one scenario. But I guess walks come with the game as well. What's the farthest home run that you've ever hit? I think it was last year, the one on Utah. I made it to Utah Street. It was my first one ever. I think it was like 46 the one on Utah made it to Utah Street as my first one ever I think is like

462 that's what they what they said. It's pretty good. Yeah, you're good. What's your favorite home run you've ever hit? Oh favorite one So I have one later in the game against the Rockies last year Left on left. I think it put us up by one in the bottom of the eighth, like two outs I want to say. So that one, that one's up there. And then my first career grand slam was, that one's up there too. Okay. Wrong answer. It was the next one. Your next one's your favorite home run. And you keep saying the next one and the next one. How many, wait, how many multi-home run games do you have in your career? Do you have any? Yeah I have one in Houston. Okay. And then I know I have one in New York last year. Okay.

And then after this Dinger League draft hopefully a couple more. Yeah good answer. I like that a lot. This feels good. We should interview every player we draft. Have you ever hit the warehouse in batting practice? No I have not made it that far yet. Okay. Still getting there. Are you more of a cat person or a dog person? I'm 100% more of a dog person. All right, good answer. Good answer.

How do you feel about the name Gunner? Do you like it? I feel like Gunner is a good dinger name. Yeah, I feel like that would be out there in the dinger league draft of names. Yeah. I'm hoping that'll put me over the top for if you have any split decisions. What about other guys on your team? So the Dinger-only league, how it works is we have to have one guy from every position.

Pitch us on someone else that you think might have a hot second half because the Dinger's only league, we started in July, so the first half of the season doesn't count. So it's just every Dinger after July 4th. Who do you think is going to be having a big second half? OK, so I got one for you. First baseman, Ryan Mountcastle. Nope, nope. He got dizzy last year.

I had him on my team. He couldn't stop getting dizzy. Oh, no. He seems to be over the vertigo. But yeah, he does hit a lot of homers. So he's, uh, he's been saving them. This is what he told me. He's been saving them for the second half. Okay. I got him having a big second half. Okay. He got over the vertigo. Yeah. I just remember getting updates like every couple of days like Ryan Mountcastle still dizzy. I was like, God damn it. I drafted this guy.

Ryan Mountcastle probable no longer dizzy. Yeah. All right. But I might give him another shot. I might give him another shot. That's, that's good one. What about, what about Colton? Should we, should we take a look? Late round pick? Yeah. I mean, that's go with, go with what your heart tells you. I mean, he's, he's going to get, he's a streaky home run hitter. So he's going to give you at least a good, I would say he gets close to pretty close to 20, 25 homers this year. So it's going to have a big, big second half. Okay. Um, I have a question about your, your actual owner. Have you seen his copy of the Magna Carta that he owns? I have not. Did you know that he owned the Magna Carta? I did not. That is news to me. That's, uh, that's pretty sick. That's like the most baller thing you can do.

It's like I own the law. That is freaking sweet. Yeah, would you have any problems playing for an owner that didn't own the Magna Carta? I wouldn't say I have a problem with them not having it, but it is pretty baller-static to have it. Okay, because I don't have it yet. When you get it, then we'll talk. can we expect a fully get it then we'll talk Can we expect full injury reports from you if we draft you to be on our team? Yeah, I mean Oh, I love that. All right, so Gunnar we have um

Ebo here who's a diehard Orioles fan. He was not in the office when you came in the office He's basically been sad since so I said come in here you get a question for Gunner. So Evo, take it away. What's up Gunner? I just want to say first off, you're the man. Nice, nice question. Yeah. You're the man. I've been following you since you were in a Norfolk and I've heard for some people in Norfolk that you were, you were the best basketball player in major league baseball. You were an unbelievable basketball player in Major League Baseball. You were an unbelievable basketball player, Alabama State Player of the Year. Whoa.

Could you have gone D1, and if you had gone D1, where would you have played Division I basketball? Good question. So I would like to thank just my competitive nature that I could have gone and played D1 basketball if I put as much time and effort as I did into baseball, into basketball. I feel like I had a really good chance of doing that. And being an Auburn fan, I would have loved to go to the Auburn

Tigers and play basketball there. Okay. Bruce Pearl getting all sweaty. You got any other questions for him? Can you win MVP this year and can we win a World Series? Yeah, World Series first and then maybe the MVP will come with it. Good answer. We also have Steven Che in here. Has Steven bothered you at all? Cause he has your number. Um, has he, has he been okay with that? What's up buddy? No, the, I think the last text we had was when, uh, Tommy smokes got on, got onto me and then, uh, Che had my back. Yeah. We, I hit him in the balls for you. Yeah, I did. I, I, I smacked him so hard. Yeah, yeah. Because that was bullshit.

Tommy Smoke said he wanted Gunner writhing in pain after Aaron Judge got hit. It's disgusting. Disgusting. We don't root for injuries. No. And we root for Gunner. Yep. Yeah.

Okay, I have one last question. I know you got a meeting. Roeback question, rhoback.com promo code take. 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roeback.com promo code take 20 percent off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts rollback.com promo code take 20 percent off what what what does him what's a meeting for a baseball player so this one is our hitters advance we're about to go over the pitcher kind of what he what his arsenal is what he what he tries to throw and how it stacks up against the lefties versus

righties and stuff and kind of get our mind right ready for the game. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. I would have no idea either what a meeting would be. How long do you watch film in that? Or is it just like, here are the numbers? Yeah. So we'll kind of watch like how, how the pitches are moving and then, um, then we'll watch them, how other hitters that had success off of aim. And then, um, yeah, it only lasts right 10 minutes and 15 minutes. Okay. All right. Perfect. Because I was going to say when we start the draft, whoever drafts you, I'll have Stephen Che give you a call so that person can invite you to the team officially. Okay. Well, then the next 30 to 45 minutes, it might be a BP, but I'll make sure to return

the call. Yeah, yeah. Text when you're out of BP. We'll wait and then we'll have the person invite you to the team to make it official. Sure. OK. OK, you made a compelling case. Yeah, I've moved you up a couple spots on my big board. Yeah, no red flags, right?

No red flags. No red flags on this end. Well, just one red flag. You somehow like Stephen Che. That's a red flag. That's a huge red flag baseball. You, you somehow like Stephen Che that's a red flag. That's a huge red flag. I do like, I do like Che, but at the same time I was, uh, I came in last on the gauntlet because of the, uh, sparkle. So then I was, uh, forced my number. That's good though. That's good though. I want my hitters dumb. I don't want you over, I don't want you overthinking anything. What was it? Yeah. Was it vowels that tripped you up? You didn't know what a vowel was?

No, it was a lot of like old eighties mafia movies. I had, I didn't really have one specific topic that I could just reel off like five or six answers to get me going. Yeah. Yeah. But that's good. Yeah. It's C ball, hip ball. That's Gunnar. Yeah, that's it. Let's keep this simple. All right, Connor. Thank you so much. And we'll let you know in a little bit who who has you on your team.

And the only statistic is Dingers. Dingers. It's the easiest fantasy league to follow. Hater's. The start date will be July 4th, our nation's Independence Day.

And this year, we have very special guests. We have Brandon Walker and Jersey Jerry. Let's go. Let's do this. Competing in the Dingers only league. We also have Stephen Chay's the commissioner nerd on staff. He's already asked me questions Boys, I'm how we feel. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling a slightly perturbed Disturbed you say why upset because Hank stole my prep sheet before we got started here holding it

He's also stealing my look wearing the sunglasses, which I will note are not sponsored sunglasses. They're oh no friend, which is interesting I'm a dirty move. They haven't even shown me Sunglasses. Oh you took them off. I like the sunglasses. No, no Sunglasses indoors guys. Not a good look right now. Dr. Disrespect kind of ruined it for everybody. Brandon, is this your first time on Pardon My Take? This is my first time ever on Pardon My Take. Wow.

Welcome to the show, Brandon. Thank you. That's you. I get to watch every fall when you have just lesser college football guys on your fucking show all the time. Oh! Now I'm here.

Who would be the lesser? Oh, you know. No, I don't. Fuck you, Fornelli. Oh, no, Fornell. Who would be the lesser? Oh, you know. No, I don't. Fuck you, Fornelli. Oh, no. Fornelli can run circles around you. Fuck Fornelli. I'm here to say that.

We can kick you out of this league right now. What do you think about that, Hank? Fuck Fornelli. Are we taping this early enough that we could AI Tom's voice over everything Tom Brandon opens his mouth? That doesn't seem right. I just got the invite. I think, you know what?

I like Fornelli's chances this year for being the number one college football personality. Yep. He had a really, really strong year last year. No chance. Yeah. Can't go back to back. I trust him. Jerry, how are you feeling? Good. Punishment is? The same as last year. Gets the same team? I would assume the same team unless Northwestern can get us. Yeah. But we're open to doing a UIC again because they were so great to us. I would like to have somebody, whoever loses, they should have to step up to the plate and bat a little bit next year too. Yeah.

Well, I think we'll do, so I think the punishment will be the same. That it's the loser of this league will have to get six outs against a college baseball team. I also think they then have to get an additional three outs against the rest of this league. I think that's fair. That's cool. So nine outs. Yeah, nine outs. This is a rip ass. No, it's the chair. So six against the college team and then a one-ing against all of us. Yes. What about Dan? What about one hit against their team, the college team? You have to stand in the box. One hit. Second place. Deal. Second place has to stand in the box. I guess one of their pitchers. I like that

I'm gunning for second place second. Oh, you're gonna take a yard. I mean that that That's that sounds like a like a reward. Well second place should be kind of a yeah second place sounds fun to me Yeah, it really does second place gets a chance to bat Against their best pitcher. I also think Mac should not be allowed to play center field. He's too good. He is pretty good. No, that's you're chasing down as long as last one. That was fun. That was fun. And then fifth place has to catch. Oh, yeah, deal. Fifth

place has to catch. Didn't you just volunteer to catch last time though? Well, we thought it would be better for the video, but we have six of the most electric personalities in sports entertainment here. Certainly the finest athletes. And Brandon Walker. It's wonderful. I should have known.

I was counting Stephen Shea. That was a big mistake on my part. Garth was down early. Ux legend. Didn't let me finish. Nope. Okay. So rules, very simple. Like I said, Dinger's only,

you have to have one position, every single player, including DH, so you're gonna get 10 guys on your team, or no, nine guys on your team. I'm an idiot, because pitchers don't hit anymore. There also are a couple other rules we should say right now. During the course of the season, you get one singular ad drop for injury or pedophilia. Pedophilia rule was because I had Wander Franco on my team last year and I dropped him, alleged. So you get one. So if you have two guys go out for the year injured, you can't make, you can't replace both of them.

Does sexual assault fall under pedophilia or or you just out of luck if that happens I think we'll go case by case basis. All right. Also, you don't have to drop them for pedophilia We just we big cat I was making last year to make a statement if you don't feel like all right I don't know if you're on that side of the fence. Yeah, that's your call I let the record show I dropped him before the Rays did you took the high ground? I was I acted quick Swiftly big cats in him right back to the miners. Yep. That's a bad choice Okay, so And the beauty of this league is you don't have to update your roster

You just literally draft it and then it just goes so it's it's nice. There's no there's no maintenance What do we say about the injuries has to be a season ending season ending. You're allowed to replace them. Yeah. And then only one guy though. Yeah. Just one guy. Yeah. And so if you're injured for 15 days, no, it doesn't matter. You could use your replacement there. Couldn't you? No, no, no. But if you replace him, the first guy's gone, right? Right. Ending surgery or season ending injuries. I would just place them. But wouldn but would it make sense if you did if you did 15 day DL you can take the risk but then

Like you don't get them back I think that has to factor into your calculus on who you draft is you don't want to guy that's made out of glass Like I if Joel and bead was in this draft. I would not take we're not talking about basketball. I'm not Max I wasn't even you were talking about basketball. I'm not. Oh, Max, I wasn't even you talking about basketball. That was not about you, though. I was barely about I was using an example in baseball. Yeah.

And he actually wasn't talking about basketball. He happens to be a basketball player. He's just saying he's made of glass. He's a human being. Right. First, you probably don't see it that way. Do you? What are you playing a game on your

phone? No, I'm trying to I'm worried about the whole list thing. So I'm trying to figure out an efficient way that I that I can be organized All right, where your finger fingernails painted max? We can talk about that later. Okay So Stephen if anyone drafts a duplicate player or a player who's already out for the year Okay

Or duplicate position their pick automatically goes to the end of that round okay Brandon but it is the DH just somebody at a duplicate position or does he have play the position of DH that was my question I think that should be any position it should be any position so I could draft to first baseman right flex For all no no it has to be a DH has to be majority. Yeah, it has to be a DH Yeah, he could he could play a couple like some DH is play a couple days in the field a week But their majority position has to be DH, okay

Gotta find out who plays to you Is going exactly how it went last year, which is great. I did assume you guys had everything figured out when I got here. No, not at all. Not at all. No, no, no. I just wanted to be a little bit better than last year, which is not a very hard bar to clear at all.

Last year was a debacle. We basically did this entire league just so that we could learn some names of baseball players. Did it work? Yeah. Yeah. Also what we did afterwards, there's a way to set up alerts on your phone so that when your guy hits a home run you get a notification. I don't know how to turn that off so I'm just gonna be getting notifications from guys that were on my team from last year. Yeah. Oh, I'll tell you. You try to draft your same team. Whenever you lost. Yeah, in the last place. But that's only because I got fucked by Jordan Alvarez.

And we had a great second half of the season. We had the dumbest rule last year where we had hit by pitches is 10 points and that screwed up everything. Because who ended up winning? Was it Max? Did you win? Shane won. I think he had a guy get hit by a pitch

like eight days in a row. Oh, wait, no, I did end up winning because my guy led the league and hit by. It was unbelievable. It just completely ruined the idea of Dingers only. Okay, so now we have to figure out draft order. Is there a pitcher tiebreaker this year or no? Oh yes. Yes. There is. Good point. Most strikeouts. Yes. So after we have finished drafting every position, we will then draft pitchers, one pitcher each that is solely for tiebreakers and there'll be total strikeouts. Got it.

And that strikeouts also includes what's already been done. So you can just pick whoever- Has the most strikeouts. Right now. Okay. Yeah. And the only thing that matters is standings

at the end of the season. Correct. Okay. Correct. Correct. Cool. Okay. How should we do the draft order?

We'll right. Do we have a wheel? Does it, can they do the wheel exists on this show? I don't know. We've never had a wheel. Where's your ball machine number generator. We could do a number generator. We could do, can do the Chicago dog walk draft style. I think of a number and you guys all guess it. Ooh, I like that. Or we could do, we could do jeopardy.

Oh, you can do that if you want. What's that? Oh, it's the worst game ever. Well, yeah, let's do that. Okay Celebrate the celebrity or like actual jeopardy we do celebrity guys. This could be ours Might take a long time. Okay, so Steven's gonna think of a celebrity. Well, wait, what's and Dan that that only provides one winner I think the winner should then just decide whether it goes left or right if they yeah yeah it doesn't jump around the room it's right big circle yeah so we'll just get one winner the winner can decide their own draft how long does it want not that long what I don't know any celebrities first they got them out oh where you gotta go I'm just I'm trying to think of for the

sanctity of the listeners here oh those are fucking hanging out it's July it's July 3rd yeah sit at the beach All right, they want the boys that were chilling hanging having a good time Hank is what are you doing? I'm trying to figure out my list. Chillin is looking at women on Twitter There's a woman on his screen Okay, so here's how this game works. Steven's gonna think of a celebrity So here's how this game works. Steven's going to think of a celebrity. We'll start with Jerry and we'll go around the room.

You guess a name and Steven says warmer or colder. So we get it. Whoever gets it gets the first pick. What if whoever gets it gets to pick the entire order? Yeah, no, they get to left or right. Oh, okay. Left or right. Unless they don't want to go first they also go wherever they want

We'll base it off like if if I win and I'm like I want to go third got it got it I'm like Jerry goes first Brandon goes second. I go third and then we'll do that So this isn't gonna be anything well. No, it's chafing. Yeah, it does no, but we have to figure out who goes first Yeah, yeah, okay. You have your celebrity. Yes. Okay, Jerry you start You just guess person. No clue. No, I'll say warmer colder and then Then you have to interpret his Very cold, okay Bob Costas. Hot.

Oh wow. Okay. Al Michaels. Similar, slightly, slightly less, slightly, slightly colder than that. Okay. Slightly colder than, than Al Michaels, but Bob Costas was hot. Yeah. He was real hot.

Ken Rosenthal. Yeah. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one.

I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. I think it's a good one. than than al michaels but bob costas was hot yeah he was real hot um ken rosenthal colder than okay we got colder we got colder jim nance hot oh we're back to hot scott van pelt Scott van Pelt. Very hot. Oh boy. Oh man. Chris Berman. Hot. Linda Cohn. Slightly colder than the rest but you're still hot. Scott Hansen. Hotter in some ways. Slightly colder and

okay, who's the hottest one so far? Chris Berman, Chris Burr and Pelt. No, and Pelt. Bob Lay. Still very hot. That was such a dismissive laugh. Yeah, I know. Ryan Rosillo. Slightly colder, but very hot still. Okay.

Stuart Scott. In some ways, very hot. Okay. In other ways. Sports center. Old. Always living. Was that a hell joke?

Okay. Oh, I think I got mine. All right. Stephen A. Smith. Cooler. Other ways sports center old so he's living was that a hell joke okay? Steven a Smith Cooler Dan Patrick Here that's the best guess so far. That's the best guess so far. Yeah, Keith Olbermann In the book it's still very hot Rich Eisen Okay, Rich Eisen all Correct. Yeah! Damn! Okay, Rich Eisen. Alright, so PFT, what position would you like to draft?

This is a lot of responsibility here. All the celebrities in the world, they chose Rich Eisen. I'd pick someone I think everyone knows. Yeah, this is a snake draft, by the way. Okay, you know what? I think I'm gonna go first. Okay, in which direction? And we're gonna go right.

Okay, great. So I'll go second third Yeah, third fourth fifth six Hank is six and then it snakes back. So If you screw up you would go in between the snake Steven You get it. No, if I screwed up a pick and picked a duplicate Uh-huh. I would go in between whatever snake so it's either You get it? No. If I screwed up a pick and picked a duplicate, I would go in between whatever snake. So it's either between PFTs, two picks or between Hanks, two picks. Cause they're on the ends. Okay. Got it. Okay. PFT.

I will say if someone is out for the year, please let me know. I don't know most of these guys. Okay. Okay. One, one, making a big bet on this guy. Oh boy show. Hey, oh wow. We're going show. Hey right off the bat. Oh All wrong doing my I conducted a lengthy background assessment on him. I looked into all the forensic accounting I've determined that he definitely bet on on sports and baseball, but I don't care. So he's on my team Okay, seem head express one good good pit. We should all have names for a team this year too yeah we should just come up with names good good pick I guess I have to go with Aaron judge that's a good pick great and great value it's a great value at two yes that's great value at two so Otani is is a DH right? Oh, Tony would be my DH

Yeah, yeah, okay. I just want to I just Want to make sure that we got that? Yep, okay Brandon. I'm gonna go with New York met Peter Lonzo Wow Chalk real real easy guy to root for is he is he a bad guy? No, he's just you guys said we were learning about folks. I don't, why is Mac sitting like that? He always sits like that is in a chair. It's striking. Okay. I'm just going to say right now I had Pete Alonzo as a fourth round talent. That sucks. That's so bad. That sucks. I had him so far down. Currently has 16 home runs.

Yikes. Well, this isn't about what they currently have. This is about their heart. This is about their heart and how they're going to finish the season. Yep. I get it. I will go the third base and I will go Jose Ramirez. Nice. That's a great pick Jerry. Thank you. Jerry. I think you could use him as your dh Which might be harder to come by But I don't know. I got DHS. I'm gonna go with

Bryce Harper, okay first base He's gonna get hurt We're just picking our own guy. Yeah Yeah I am going to go with recurring guests of the program Matt Olson, okay who plays first base. That's right.

Schwab or DH. You fuck. Oh, that's a great pick. That's a great pick. Maybe the funnest guy in baseball to root for. Easy one. Yeah. Easy.

That sucks. That's a first rounder with second round. You would have you would have taken Harper if I took Schwerber. No Wait, no, you you got him in the second round, but he's a first-round talent. Yeah. Okay. Yeah now and and he's probably good Well, the only thing is he might not play competitive baseball deep into September because the Phillies will have the one seed wrapped up That's true Okay, go ahead well wait I'll take Gunner henderson fuck

I didn't I don't know why how he lasted that long I was I was hoping that pft was gonna take judge and I was gonna take gunner But I had to he left me judge and I had to take him I want a gunner gunner slip to the second round for a short step off the board damn that's a great pick max it's a great pick so it's on Jerry it's on me okay I will go Jordan Alvarez my DH yeah that hurt bad okay he's hurt no that hurt bad oh Okay. He's hurt. No, that hurt bad. Oh, he got hurt last year. Okay.

It's just looking at all the DHS. Also something about a home run ball flying out in Houston just looks cool. Doesn't it's a great stadium hit a tatering. Okay. Are we doing specific outfield positions or is outfield outfield positions? I'm going to go with outfielder and somebody's gonna have to tell me what position he plays Juan Soto right field. Yeah, I feel good.

I can't believe he lasted that long. Can't believe he lasted that long. Um, okay, I will go. That was a good pick. That was gonna be my pick. I'm very upset about that pick. Well, Jerry took my pick. He did. Yeah. But they're all good players. What are you guys colluding about? I don't I was asking what his first pick was because I I'm trying to keep track. Why is Max it like air in touch? I knew that. Wait, no, it wasn't. That's a lie. So, okay.

I will go with dh. Marcelo sooner. Right from the Braves. Right. Right. Thank you. Thank you. Like how my team's coming together right now. This is some good podcast. Yeah, it really is. I need to know how we're going to qualify this guy. Mookie bets. What position? Where do you want to dodge? I think he's right field. Dodger. I think he's a little short. This is a Stephen Che question. What is he going to be? All right, I make an official ruling on this. Or Shane.

Shane or memes. You guys want to? Oh my God. He plays right fielder, second base, and a shortstop. Mr. Position. But which one has he played the most at? That's a good question. I know what I want Stephen to say, so I'm not going to say.

I feel like Stephen should have had this information. Just pick one, PFT. I'd like him to be my second. No Well, that's that I think I think he plays second base that money. Yeah, he doesn't play Stop by a lot. Okay, so it's a short stop. I'll take him at short stop. It's good pick Well, he is a pick a short. He's out for the year Mookie pretty sure what I'll leave it out for the year, but he's he's injured but are you serious locked him in it's fine he did lock him in yeah yeah that's good pick he got smoked in the hand Dodgers are proving they can say a float without Mookie

well so PFT is a bet so you know does he is he out for the year no no he's not out for the okay he's fine any injury that's not out for the year that your pick stays. I did that last year. We all did that last year. We picked guys that were hurt by accident. He's he's hurt. He's not hurt bad. Do watch the video of him getting hit in the hand. It sounds I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't want to listen to it. I don't want to watch it. Okay. Uh, good pick. Thank you. Good play. I'm going to go with, uh, was the MVP favorite when he got hurt so

He'll be back Yeah, you just don't like him because he left you I love them I don't know. I'm gonna go with uh, was it John Stanton? Is that what what biz called him? John Carlos Carlos? And I think he called it Carlos Stanton John Carlos I know his name, but you know, I call them John Carlos John Carlos Stanton John Carlos Stanton also hurt Are you serious? Oh always. Yeah, I definitely hurt. Oh, oh my god Left hamstring expects to miss four weeks

You loves pitching I am weeks that's not that bad yeah that's fine it's a month nothing you're good you're good you're good that's not all you loved pitching hi I'm on he is a DH yes he's outfielder that's fine he's mostly D you could whatever let's let him have it let him have a month he's a D he's not doing anything wait do you have a D? he already has Otani at D. Oh no. Alright, well I'm gonna need Otani. Thank god you have that list. Put the team on my back. So wait, what position do you want him to be? He's gonna be outfield. We're just doing what we want now?

Specifically left field, right field. Left field. Wait, he plays right field. He plays right field. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Three outfielders, it doesn't matter which team. No, you have to get the right outfielder.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Wait, I thought Soto played right field Soto I have So does it right fielder right John John calls this the DH. Yeah, he's a hundred percent of DH Well, then PFT has to DH. All right, so he's got a yes count him as a left field Well, then no, I probably have to take him on my lineup. No, you have to do a different pick left field. Left field. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Uh, I will take for my next selection. I don't understand. Good pick. I don't understand. Uh, Evo's list. It doesn't really have a lot of rhyme or reason to it does it no

It doesn't This could have been an email I'll take Anthony Santander great pick. Thank you. Sure. Do you know who that is? Yeah, right fielder, okay Orioles I Some good podcast yeah, it really is I like that we invited Brandon on the first time for the worst thing we do. Mm-hmm You can't come off this looking good. You don't like this episode. Please tweet PFW Yeah, let him know that he can't come back on. Yeah, see you guys in September I will take I don't know if he's, I'm gonna take Austin Riley. Oh.

Third baseman, former Mississippi State signee. Ooh. The Atlanta Braves. Wow. Okay, you got a brave. I don't know how this guy didn't get off the board yet, but I'll go first base Josh Naylor. Ooh.

He's hurt. Is he? Is he? Nah, I don't know. He could be. I don't even know who he plays for. Okay, you're up. Sounds like a porn star. Is it me? Yeah, I'm going to go with

who? Rafael Devers. Fuck you, Hank. Oh, nice. God has asked third baseman picked him off. Third baseman Rafael Devers. I will go with and I feel like he might be hurt Fernando Tatis jr. He is hurt. It's a good pick Hank Yeah, but I don't think he's out for too long. I think he's really hurt And then I will go Where does Tatis play? Rightfield? It plays right field

Hmm let's go jazz chism hmm has chism good pick a position does that gentleman use center field okay I I have lost I've lost the plot I am all over the place here every single place that we're at right? Yep I'm gonna go with Nolan Gorman, that's definitely not his name Nolan Gorman Yeah, okay, I don't know So we're all over the place now. This is bad. I know what I'm doing, I'm just going way far down the list assuming none of those guys.

I just have outfielders. Yeah, I only have outfielders. I'm just guessing on their positions. It's on me? Yes. Okay. I will go... It's on me. Yes. Okay. I will go. Do I have this position?

Center field. I will go. Julio Rodriguez. It's a great picture. It's just a phenomenal pick. Yeah. I feel like you're just taking like stock names. What was your first guy? So my line up right now is, uh, I don't even know. Jose Ramirez, your, your, Don Alvarez, Josh Nailer and, uh, the way I just picked, I don't even know his name. What?

He already, I guess what these are bad names. I'm trying to figure out what position everybody plays. He plays center field. I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the next guy I pick. Okay, you got this, Brendan. I'm gonna go ahead and take the Oscar Hernandez. The? The Oscar Hernandez.

Positions? I don't know. You just gave me shit for Nolan Gorman. You just said the Oscar. Why are you ho said the Oscar why are you hollering? This is the show It's like Ohio State it's the Oscar Oscar Hernandez Don't be hollering at him

Yeah but T is Spanish for the Oh wow okay this could be a reach you know what I'm not going to do it That was gonna be stupid. Yeah, that was see That was gonna be dumb has Anyone taken I'll do you guys this question I'll just say a name and this isn't who I'm taking but Wait, is he hurt? That might be hurt.

Oh you shouldn't look it up you should just roll the dice. Okay I'll roll the dice. Yeah a little dangerously. Alright. Christian Walker. Is he real? Yeah. First baseman Arizona Diamondbacks. That's my guy. Great pick dad. Yeah I'm giving up on trying to keep track of who's taking deep because I was trying early Okay, I'm gonna go with Ellie de la Cruz Ellie gimme Ellie as a reach. No, it's not. Yeah, you could have had him with this pick. I Got him. I could have had it with my second. That's what I'm saying. Yeah with my so as a reach Ellie de la Cruz third base No second short stop short stop short stop. Yeah, I saw him have a

Short stop. Well, we have we have Mookie Betts. Oh, you can't take them. Oh, no, you can't take Ellie Oh Mookie's dead. No, you can't take Ellie. Yeah can't you already have two right fielders? You're making a debacle of this Yeah, why can't I because you already have a short stop short stop Seems like you know, I stick with this list not having positions on it. That's gonna say that might be true Yeah, we've already given you a real nice one having two dh's. Okay. Give me mike trout. Okay He's coming back soon, I think you're throwing out the longest he's coming back you're throwing this right now He's coming back in all the things not even starting till august. Yeah, you're throwing this. I think he's coming back soon. I think you're throwing this. He's out until August. He's coming back. You're throwing this right now.

He's coming back in August. But PFT's not even starting until August. Yeah. You're throwing this. I think you're throwing this. I'm going to say right now you're throwing this. You enjoyed pitching. Yeah, you're trying to pitch again.

I did not. I was sore for a week. But you're throwing this. I'm just doing a bad job. Just naturally. PFT, you're back on the clock. And I can't take Ellie. I think you have to throw out Mike Trout too.

I mean yeah I'll throw him out absolutely. Yeah because I don't want you to throw it. I'm honestly not throwing. Mike Trout is like a last round pick. He's not back till mid August. Okay well thank you for changing the rules of the game. I will accept it. We don't want to throw.

I'm going to take. Hmm. See, I know what, whoever I'm about to say, it's going to be, I'm not going to be allowed to take, you know, I'll take Salvador Perez. Good pick. That's an awful pick. Catcher. He's not even the best catcher. I like him. Okay. He was on the Seamhead Express a couple years ago Okay, and you have another pick I'm just gonna make sure this person's not hurt. I Think we can all agree that's a it's a fair. It's a fair thing to do. I'm gonna go with

Freddie Freeman It's a good pick. Good pick. Who's that guy? Yep. I will take Ellie Delacruz. Reach. I knew that I know that was great value. I waited all the way till it came back. Cause I knew you already had a short. That's a reach. I did not rate your shortstop. Thank you, Jerry. Appreciate that. Quick break to talk to you guys about Chevy.

Catcher. He's the commissioner. Yeah, no, he doesn't know shit about baseball. I don't know anything about baseball, bro. He doesn't know shit about shit. He's Brodue. I will go with Alec Baum at third base. That's not his name.

Beast. What's his name? I don't know. He's more of a doubles guy than a home runs guy, but that's fine. And at second base, I will go with Jose out to Yep, good. That's definitely his name I'm going to take Kyle Tucker

What positions he play right field? You just say right field for everybody does he is right? Okay. I was worried somebody else had taken him but yep Kyle Tucker Okay Hank who is your second great pick Max yeah great does thank you I'll do okay just trying to remember these picks mm-hmm very it's John it's very challenging very very difficult, you're up Jerry. I'm up? Yeah. Oh my god. I'm going to go with right field.

A Dallas Garcia. Yep. That's a good name. You have a great name team. You too have a great name, Timo. Yeah. You too have a great name, team. I will be selecting second baseman, Jordan Westberg of the Baltimore Orioles. Nice. Was he here?

Was he one of the guys here? Yes, he's family and he's former Mississippi State. What was his name? Jordan Westberg. What does he do? He plays second base for the Baltimore Orioles. Second or third? He plays second base for the Baltimore Orioles. Second or third? He plays second. Fair. Fair. Let me get a ruling on that. Sure about that? Uh oh. I'd like to see a ruling. Okay. A ruling from

the Commish. Now he's locked in. It says second and third baseman I will do like I did for everyone else. I'll look at his stats and see what he plays more of Is that fair? Do you feel good about this? We were just we just had a fist bump. I'm just saying I had a question It because my list says something different. He plays way more third base. What is that way you wanted her? I Already have a third base Okay, so I would rule that you cannot take him. So I'm not taking him. Oh Wait, oh wait Third baseman You took Austin Riley. Correct. Yeah. Wait, still Brandon. Okay, Brandon, I will take catcher cow Raleigh.

Fuck, that was going to be my pick. Who has to Oscar Hernandez? I do. Is he hurt? No, I just he is the Oscar. I didn't I didn't know if anyone. That was a good way of me finding out Okay, I really wanted What was that noise that was me scratching off Jordan Westberg angrily? We can note that everyone has a first baseman. Oh basements are done. That's interesting. I love that. That's an interesting fact Why do you love that? Yes, because we don't worry about it anymore. Okay Yeah, we don't have to worry about that anymore. I really was

going to take Cal rally and you fucked me real bad. The Jerry fucked you by making a noise about Jordan Westberg, who is a second base. He has played second base, but it looks like 80% of the time he's at third. Tyler O'Neill hasn't been taken, right? Not in this draft. He has not. I'll take Tyler O'Neill. Is that the guy who Dave texted me and was like, bet on him to hit the home run? Oh, Mr. Opening Day. Yeah. Mr. Opening Day might be okay. Tyler O'Neill.

PFT left field. Okay. I'm going to go with, Oh,, I almost I almost did it again. No way. Guys. I'm not throwing the draft. I promise you. If I tried to throw the draft, I would not be this good. Okay. This is a nightmare for me right now. I should have done more prep. Yeah, I should have done any prep. You got a Cody Bellinger. Alright, position.

Centerfield. I think that's right. Checks out. Uh, yes. Okay. Yep, you're good. Cody's been not great this year. He's coming on his nine home runs. It ain't about what's happened. The winds about to start blowing out big time. When does the home run start?

July 4th That's when our stats start. Yeah, this comes out July 3rd. All stats start July 4th. Mm-hmm. Gotcha Okay, I'm looking for a second baseman Excuse me. Has Marcus Simeon been picked? He has not. I don't think so. Then I'm going to take Marcus Simeon.

Okay. I don't want to take this guy, but I have to have at least one cub. So I'm going to take Christopher Morel. Sorry. Who'd you take? Christopher Morel. All he does is hit dingers and make errors. I will position as Mr. Murr base. He's hitting two Oh four.

Okay. But all runs. I would care about. So that's what he does. He just fucking launches them and then he sucks all everywhere else. Brendan, I would like second baseman Ozzie. All these oh little run on second baseman here, huh? Yeah, let's get rid of him. Who is Ozzie? I'll be is anybody else respecting left center left field right center. I did.

Center field after this round. I think that Che should go team by team and let us know what positions right. He still need I absolutely did. I have a left fielder center fielder right fielder so I only have I have a lip I have a right fielder and I don't know what to ask for Hernandez's yes Hernandez left field so I need a center field thank you Max you're welcome you I said thank you Max I take all credit for Max's things. Very good. Yeah. Who's up? JJ. All right. Um, uh, I think I need a left fielder right now. We're actually cruising here. We've got seven, seven rounds are done.

Almost six and a half. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go off a name that just sounds like a home run guy. Okay. Barry Bond. No. Oh, I don't even know how to pronounce this Randy's arena yeah, you didn't even try Even try one of the syllables home run again say again Randy's arena Left fielder yeah, how is he he does hit bombs does he yeah fair? I'm in You were in as soon as you picked him yeah I'm going to take Brian Dela Cruz DH you made that guy up nope it's 14 home runs

this year I'm gonna take another Cruz O'Neill yeah O'Neill who's Oh job Hank he hurt he sucks he's a beast. What position is that, gentlemen? He's a shortstop. I don't think I have a third baseman. Sorry, can you say that name again? O'Neil Cruz. What's he doing?

Oh no, I do have a third baseman. And for my catcher, I'm going to take Will Smith, getting jiggy with it. Nice. Do you want a position recap or no? Yeah, sure. So that was the end of I'm good. I know where I'm where I know that's not I'm good. I desperately need it.

You got to. I will be taking Riley Green left field. Great pick. Who'd you take? I didn't take Riley Green. Nobody's taking them yet. Who'd you take? Oh, Ozzy Obvious.

Who'd you, you took someone. I didn't take Riley Green. I took Austin Riley. Ah, there it is. There it is. I knew there was something. On me? Yeah. How many rounds have we done? This is going to be the, this is the eighth I knew there was something. On me? How many rounds have we done? This is gonna be the, this is the eighth round.

Two rounds left. I will do... My second base, I would do... Cattell Marte. Ah, that's what I wanted. Right. I will go center field. I don't know if he's hurt. Luis Robert Jr. Ah! That know if he's hurt. Luis Robert Jr.

Okay, I'm going to take this is going to be a name I don't know how to pronounce but I'm going to say it anyway oh no this guy sucks oh oh it's no home runs I don't got a second baseman they think they like I did but she wouldn't let me have him Bryson stop good player who Bryson stop second baseman of the Phil's great player is he actually? Does he hit almost certainly not a great player now? He's good player with runs and scoring position that doesn't Second base sucks, huh? Yeah who got the best second baseman Marcus Simeon was a good pick whoever got him

He's hot. 50 back to back. I think I made some mistakes. So I have two positions to fill. Yeah.

Can you tell me what those two positions are? Yes. You need a third baseman. Okay. And then a right fielder. No, you already have two right fielders. No, he has no right fielders. Oh, we classify. Oh, he tried to make Giancarlo a right fielders oh we classify oh he tried to make John Carlo a right fielder and then he tried to take trout and then he

tried to eat trout yes so you need a right fielder and a third baseman right fielder in a third baseman how do you see what position they've been playing we rolled John Carlo left field do we want to look into that? I can look into it. He's DH. Okay. But we're giving him left field. Okay, so I need to fill. Manny Machado. DH? What does he play? Third base, right? He does play third base. I think he's more DH. How painful is this for like timespan heads? This is so bad.

I thought he was a third baseman. Yeah he is a third baseman. He's like very much a third baseman. No he's a third baseman. He's a third baseman. Yeah I was all over that one. Oh, yeah And so now I need a center fielder Well, I got one for you. What do you what do you recommend here Jerry ask Jerry? No, not a third baseman your right fielder. I need a right feel. Yes I'm from Max Cody Bellinger at Center. Okay. I do want to take something from Max get Castellanos

Yeah That's a good pick place center field Okay, I do want to take something for Max. Get Castellanos. Yeah. That's a good pick. You play center field? Right field. Max, what's he playing these days? He plays right field. Okay, I got him. That'll be a deep drive to left.

My last pick is going to be Shay Langley. Oh, I was mine. From the Oakland Athletics catcher. Catcher Shay Langley. Okay. I almost picked a guy who was retired. I think okay

No Murphy, no, I Don't know I can't find how can y'all find who's playing DH Where are you getting this info? I'll just give you some DHS I think for the most part we're Andrew McCutcheon saying he's having a good year I'll give you some DHS. Okay, but Everybody else Martinez. I feel like everybody else is just gonna use somebody who's already position right now. Okay I mean we all got real DHS is many muchado with DH. That's what I said Many muchado is like one of the best he plays right base in the league. Yeah. All right

I I'm done Brent Rooker. Yeah, H. Yeah, that's he went to Mississippi State. That's good enough for me. Did he actually? Yeah. Oh Yeah, that's he went to Mississippi State. That's good enough for me. Did he actually? Yeah. Oh You guys must have won a lot of championships. We won one. Mm-hmm. We're there all the time It all miss one one right after so negated yours. That's the one I remembered I forgot about Mississippi State really who was there who named one player off that team? No, I just wrote I remember them winning the champ you remember it who was one player off their team Ben Mince. Yeah, he was good. Thanks damn good Jerry Jerry. Yep. I will do You remember it who was one player off their team? Ben Mintz. He was good. Shanks. Damn good. Jerry? Jerry.

Yep I will do... I don't know this guy's name. Oh Hope. Oh Hopi. What? Catcher. Catcher. Oh Hopi?

Yep. L. Oh Hopi. Catcher. He's got 10 home runs on the year right now. It's pretty good Yeah, centerfields pretty tough I'm gonna go with JJ blood a I Wanted to do trout, but this the injury is tough

Picture what is it August centerfield? Whoever got Tyler it was a great pick. I did because Dave texted me that time. Um, so then I will go, let's just go with a name. That makes sense. It's a good choice. Yeah. Jurek's in profile. Good name. That's a good one. That's just bombs. Uh, and then Steven, what hypothetically would my last position be wait I think you're done. Wait, did you do?

He just looks very pro far for left I think I'm done This is the last round. Yeah Hank is done. I'm done too. We're all done. We're all done. That was that was great Are we all right now? We got to pick pitchers. Pitchers? Yeah. Strikeouts. Strikeouts. Strikeouts. And that's going to be the tiebreaker for what? If there's a tie. So does Hank go now? That makes sense.

Yeah. OK. Well, I should get to go first, right? Oh, actually, yeah. I won. I won. Jeopardy. And you had the best draft also.

So it goes back to the original. I had a really good draft. Yeah. Why should I? I have to go last. No, go back to the this isn't around front. Yeah. Yeah.

It starts. Yeah. Pft goes. Okay. So I what? No, no, no. This is but this isn't around in the draft is over. This is an extra free for all.

All right. I'll take glass now. No, no. All right. I got three scoobal. I's a free-for-all. All right, I'll take glass now. No, no. No, no. No free-for-all. All right, I got Tariq Scoobel. I got Skeen. Back wheeler. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Skeen. I got Ske? No, no, no. I mean, I think we learned a bunch of names right now. I think we're all baseball experts after that draft. Let's just see what would have happened. Steven, say a random position. Left field. Oh no.

John Carlos Stanton. Now the only one. Josca Hernandez. Can everyone say who the pitcher they said out loud is? Skeens. Garrett Crochet. God damn it. Skeens was genius. Let's go left to right. Skeens. Paul Skeens. Skeens because it's not how many you've had it's all going. Or no, wait. No, it's season total. You said it was. Season total. It's season total. Well, that's actually a terrible pick. That's a terrible pick then. Yeah, bad

pick. Wait, it's season total? It's not from here? No, it should be from here on out. No, it's here on out. It's a tie breaker. It's not from here I did say it was but why would the home runs be from here on out? But the just the home run out of it makes sense. That's sure. Yeah, why why am I had Garrett crochet? I have I took terrible school because I have him to win the Scion. I Didn't get a lot of strikeouts. Does he he's fifth in the league. He took scoob. Oh, you said got a hundred Scoob. Oh, okay., if the audience Dylan CSA CCC Max a Jeff Zach Wheeler

Paul schemes ain't even in the top hundred Tyler close now Seam heads are gonna be so upset with you guys not with me Jen Tyler You just picked all Phillies. I picked literally one Philly. I tried to- All Phillies. Well, Zach Wheeler I guess, but he's not really on my team.

All right, Steven, you want to- Also, as bad as this was, I think this was leaps and bounds ahead of last year. Yeah. In terms of picking the same players. We did it a lot in class or- Yeah, no. ... going ball. We all, there was so much, the breaks were so much longer last year.

Yeah. Yeah. We just kind of ripped it Yeah, we ripped it. All right. So Stephen, can you give us a recap of all of our teams do draft grades? Nobody picked? No, oh, yeah last year TJ picked an entire team Guys that we didn't pick and I don't mean I don't think he finished last means should do that I think you want in like second. Yeah memes you want to do it? I don't mean I don't think he finished last meme should do that. I think you want in like second. Yeah memes You want to do it? He has I have no idea yeah, okay, I Can't believe Jerry took skeins

Why'd you pick skeins how many strike houses? What do you know about not even a top 300 like 30? I know he dates Libby done there. Yeah. Yeah, how long memes how long we've been doing this? Like 32 years has been a second year 50. Oh, that's not bad. Yes, because it's like almost a full out You're really worried about me. Oh, oh you got to call Gunnar Here You gotta call guys. Yeah practice. No, he should be done done with this meeting here All right, we're gonna go out there. We're gonna we're to have you guys hit the ball today. All right. Welcome to your team. Stop Hank.

Ellie De La Cruz. Tyler O'Neal, Christopher Morel, Thiro Estrada, Shay Legiliers. Yeah, it fell off at the end. I think I got a solid team. Yeah, solid. Still second base in catcher. If I can get 10 home runs out of the two of those guys,

Baseball almanac. Che reads, I think we nailed this. Yeah, that was fun. Felt good. One thing I know about this draft though, is we have no idea how any team's gonna do no well We do know that some teams are gonna have players that are playing and some teams are not yes correct Hank has an injured guy too

You your whole team would have been injured if we didn't change the rules. Yeah No, you you would have had Out and Mookie bets I did not know that Mookie was injured. Or Trout. Or Trout. Or Stanton. Mookie was injured. Mookie was famous.

I'm pretty sure you, before this draft started, you were like, by the way, I'm, yes, you were, you were like, I'm going to draft based on availability because oil and weed always gets hurt. Yeah. True. But he threw it. Do you actually think I threw it. Yes when you picked trout I thought you were throwing I'd I probably was the third pick in a row of

Very injured guy. I promise you I did not intentionally try to throw this last year I got fucked because a guy got injured like right before we did the draft You're just getting your injuries out of the way this one. I injured I I was not prepared for Yeah, this sheet didn't do anything. Yeah, this is bad sheet You see I regret using the sheet if I should cut out Evo's question if I knew I wasn't relying on the sheet I would have done more prep But that's outbreaks and I have my team and I'm confident team is on the floor I'd so one add or drop for an injury. Mm-hmm and now or pedophilia not now

Although PFT could do now in the spirit of fairness though, I'd like to just say I will sacrifice my drop because I was allowed to drop Mike trout and that would have made me fish and last probably. No, it's okay. You can, you don't have to sacrifice your, your, okay. My trout was, you got to keep your pedophile drop. Yeah. Oh no, I'm keeping that one. Who knows what's coming down the road. Yeah. Those are separate by the way. Yeah. Oh no, I'm keeping that one. Who knows what's coming down the road? Yeah, those are separate by the way. Yeah.

Oh, there's an injury drop and a pedophile. There's a pedophilia. Yeah. It's like IR except let's hope none of us have to use. PR. PR. Yeah. What if it's judge?

Are you going to use yours, Dan? If what? If judge was a pedophile. It's a good question. But he wasn't suspended from the Yankees. He really earned his. We'd have to assess a situation day by day there I'm talking to league offices wait for all the facts to come had some conversations with Aaron himself. We're just

We're just making sure that we do the right thing No further question make the final judgment come October. Yeah, exactly All right any any last things we're gonna play some ball. Yeah, exactly.
