00:00I got to get your opinion of why are all the guys like Bryce Harper and guys from Vegas

00:09saying that baseball will never work there and that this A's team moving to Las Vegas

00:13is going to be a failure?

00:15You live there.

00:16Why is that?

00:17Uh, if they put the ballpark down where they say they're going to put the ballpark, I don't

00:20think it's going to work because it's going to be impossible to get in and out of there

00:2481 days and it's not an 81 day type of market in the heat, in the traffic, in that, like

00:35if it's a pain and it doesn't, I'm not saying they have to win, but they have to try.

00:42The A's aren't trying.

00:44If they come here with the ownership and the things that they have now, after the Knights

00:51have been here, after the Raiders have been here, and if an NBA team beats them here,

00:57they're going to be an afterthought.

00:59It's going to take a lot.

01:00Now, will they fill the ballpark on certain nights?

01:03Of course.

01:04When the Yankees come, they'll fill it.

01:05When the Red Sox come, they'll fill it.

01:07When the Phillies come, they'll fill it.

01:09But when, not to say that the Pirates aren't a draw, but when, you know, maybe when a Pirate,

01:14they might not.

01:15Like the Brewers?

01:16Like the Skeins, bitches, they'll fill it.

01:17Well, the Skeins, they'll fill it.

01:19I don't know.

01:21Over the course of a season, they're not going to go watch a team lose 95 to 100 games.

01:26There's a lot of other things to do.

01:28You've been here.

01:29They'll go to the book.

01:30They'll go to the Sphere.

01:32They'll go see a show.

01:33They won't go to a ballgame.
