00:03 >> Craig, you know, I mean, we've been doing this show together for four years.

00:07 I've been saying, well, the Angels, please,

00:09 can I see Shohei Otani play one meaningful game in my entire adult life?

00:14 Are they trying to make it happen?

00:15 Or is Artie Moreno gonna pay Shohei Otani a billion dollars?

00:20 What is going on, Craig?

00:21 >> Yeah, I mean, I guess, when you think about it at the end of the day for

00:26 the Angels, Davis, it's like, if somehow the last two months they can catch

00:32 lightning in a bottle and make the postseason, Davis, and think about this.

00:36 Like, the postseason's crazy, but to say that this no shot or

00:42 that team has no shot, I mean, you saw what happened last year.

00:46 The Braves got knocked out right away.

00:49 The Dodgers got knocked out right away.

00:51 So look, when the Angels go to bed last night, they're like, all right,

00:55 now we got Giolito, we got Otani coming back.

00:58 We got Mike Trout, we got Brandon Drury, we got Renfro,

01:03 we got some pieces, some decent pitching here.

01:06 Let's have a dream, Davis, and here's the dream.

01:08 You make the wild card, and by some miracle, you win, right?

01:12 You win the wild card matchup with whoever you're playing against.

01:16 Is it impossible?

01:16 I don't think so.

01:18 And then at that point, Davis, you go to Shohei Otani and say, hey,

01:20 look what we're building here.

01:22 We made the postseason.

01:23 We won, now I don't think the Angels are gonna win two series, but

01:25 we won the postseason.

01:26 We won a wild card.

01:27 And then you could see Otani, I'm comfortable, we're winning,

01:32 giving my 600 million, maybe so, maybe so.

01:35 Listen, I'm trying to talk it through the Angels way.

01:38 Conversely, Davis, if none of this happens and they don't get in,

01:43 they're gonna look back and

01:44 it'll be one of the biggest mistakes that a team could make, for sure.
